《Fall in Love with Mr. Nian Slowly》


 Chapter 1. You Have No Place in this Community as Long as Zhong Yi is Here

    Chapter 1. You Have No ce in this Community as Long as Zhong Yi is Here


    Remember, you will have no ce in thismunity as long as Zhong Yi is here. Xu Luosang, this is just a beginning.


    Luosangs eyes closed tightly as she struggled painfully in her dream.


    Crack!


    The crisp sound of shattering porcin broke the silence of the night, making her suddenly open her eyes and wake up from her nightmare about something that had happened a year ago.


    She now remembered that she came to this vi three days ago to be the carer of Young Master Nian.


    About half a month ago, Young Master Nian went on a field trip during which a mountain road copsed, and his car fell into a frozen river. Due to ack of timely rescue, his spine was injured severely. He had many surgeries, but hadnt recovered till this day. However, because of his bad temper, two carers had quitted, and Luosang was the third one.


    Luosang, get your ass over here now! A mans cold and angry voice was heard from arge bed in the middle of the bedroom.


    Luosang shuddered and hurriedly put on herrge, ck-rimmed sses, turned on the light, and then got off the bed and walked quickly to the bedroom.


    Under the warmmplight, Nian Junting was lying on the bed, eyes opened wide, shining like stars. The nket only covered his legs and waist. He was wearing a pair of purplish blue silk pajamas, with the few buttons in the chest area left undone. His half-opened baggy pajama top was barely covering his muscr body, and his olive skin was so shiny that nobody would be able to take their eyes away from it.


    Beside the bed, a purple y cup was broken in two.


    It was most likely the source of the noise that woke Luosang up just now.


    Dont you wanna keep this job? Do you know how many times I have called your name? Nian Junting red at her with cold eyes.


    Im sorry, I wont make the same mistake again, Luosang apologized in a low voice.


    She had been taking care of him for three days. He would wake up for five or six times each night, so she hadnt slept for more than three hours a day. That was why she fell into a deep sleep tonight.


    Do you want some water? she asked.


    Nian Junting pressed his thin lips together. A momentter, he said, Go and call Steward Wu.


    Luosang now knew what he wanted. Even though she was the one taking care of him in the past few nights, he asked Steward Wu to help him every time he wanted to go to the bathroom.


    However, Steward Wu seemed to have not slept well for quite a few days either, and he had a lot of work to do. Luosang saw him during the day and saw that he looked very tired and coughed a lot.


    Luosang hesitated for a few seconds then suggested, Mr. Nian, how about I go and bring you the chamber pot?


    Do I need to say this again? Go and call Steward Wu. I dont want to use a chamber pot, I want to go to the bathroom. Nian Junting stared at her coldly with an extremely impatient look in his face.


    Steward Wu doesnt seem to feel well today. Hes got a cold, said Luosang with a soft voice. I can also take you to the bathroom.


    How will you do that? Youre a woman


    Before Nian Junting finished his sentence, Luosang pulled off his nket, lifted him to her chest and then put him in the wheelchair. After that, she thoughtfully put a pillow behind his back.


    The man froze.


    He could scarcely believe it. He hadnt recovered from the injuries, but he was still tall and muscr. Yet, this woman had actually


    He now realized that as a twenty-eight-year-old man, for the first time in his adult life, he had been lifted by a woman.


    His handsome face blushed scarlet with both shame and anger as he looked at her from head to toe doubtfully. She was only about five foot seven inches tall and looked slim and weak. Her chest looked t in her loose fitting sleepwear, and she was wearing a pair of extremely unfashionable, ck-rimmed sses.


    He clenched his teeth and said with a dark face, Who told you to lift me? Are you even a woman? Youre not adyboy from Thand, are you?


    Luosang was speechless.

 Chapter 2. Do Not Take Advantage of Me —You Dont Deserve It

    Chapter 2. Do Not Take Advantage of Me ��You Don''t Deserve It


    Luosang thought to herself, This man cant see very well, can he?


    Mr. Nian, I am definitely a real woman, she exined kindly. We carers often need to take care of patients like you, and sometimes we have to do heavy lifting. After practicing a couple of times, my strength naturally grows, but you are very sturdy. I strained every musle to lift you just now.


    Nian Junting sneered and said, Did you? I didnt feel that. On the contrary, I felt it was quite easy for you.


    Luosang squeezed in a smile and responded, Well in fact, I was born quite strong.


    Nian Junting looked at her sullenly and said with a frosty voice, I forgive you this time, but next time I dont need you to lift me; just help me up.


    Luosang nodded and pushed the wheelchair into the bathroom. She stopped by the toilet.


    Help me up, said Nian Junting.


    Luosang remembered his request, so she only tried to help him up. However, his spine couldnt fully support his body, and she failed to get him to sit on the toilet after trying for quite a while.


    Nian Junting struggled a few more times. Suffering from long-term injuries had given him a sense of powerlessness, which ignited the anger in his heart and made him shove Luosang directly to the ground.


    Thud! The back of Luosangs head hit against a bathroom cab, and almost fell unconscious. She lost her eyesight for a moment from the pain and starting hearing a buzzing noise.


    She touched her head with her hand. Fortunately, she wasnt bleeding.


    No wonder the carers before me all quit. She smiled bitterly and thought to herself. This man is so moody.


    However, the job paid well, and she needed to earn enough money for college. She really needed to hold on, no matter how hard it might be.


    Nian Junting turned back, red at her coldly, as if expecting her to cry out in fear and say I quit. To his surprise, she only rubbed her head before holding the wall to stand up and walk towards him. She then carried him onto the toilet in a slightly aggressive manner.


    He felt both infuriated and humiliated, but before he could call out, Luosang began talking. She said, Mr. Nian, Ive seen many patients like you. Some even needed amputations and could never get back on their feet. I heard that you have injured your spine, but you will recover, and this situation is only temporary. I know youre in a bad mood, but holding your urine for too long can lead to urologic diseases. If that happened it would be quite embarrassing for you to go see a urologist, wouldnt it? Anyways, you shouldnt shove people like that. Im not just worried about getting hurt, but Im worried that the strain might worsen your spine injuries and slow down your recovery.


    Looking at the faint smile on her face, Nian Junting felt like he was punching a bag full of cotton.


    He raised his head to looked at her carefully again. Her ck-rimmed sses covered arge half of her face, and her bangs were thick. She was a very average-looking woman, but she had this indescribable, equable temperament that made him want to keep looking at her.


    He suddenly gave an order and barked, Alright, then you cane over and take off my pants.


    Luosang paused for a second. Her heart skipped a beat when she looked at his breathtakingly handsome face glowing under themplight.


    Earlier when she pushed the wheelchair into the bathroom, she didnt expect this to happen. Of course as a carer, she often needed to do things like this, but this was her first time taking care of such a young and good-looking man. So despite herposure, she now had other thoughts rushing through her mind.


    For work, she made herself look frumpy and told the others that she was already thirty, but her real age was twenty-two. In addition she had no clue about sex yet.


    Dont look at me like a predator! Im telling you not, do not take advantage of me because you dont deserve it, said Nian Junting, all cold and proud. His words immediately killed all the thoughts in Luosangs head.


    Predator? What part of me looks like a predator? This man really knows how to tter himself.


    Mr. Nian, you misunderstood me. I was just a little shy, said Luosang.

 Chapter 3. I Dont Want the Others to Know That I Was Carried in a Womans Arms

    Chapter 3. I Don''t Want the Others to Know That I Was Carried in a Woman''s Arms


    You can be shy? Nian Junting didnt believe Luosang, so he scoffed, You insisted on pushing me in for this exact purpose, didnt you?


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched slightly as she responded, I have exined that its because Steward Wu isnt feeling well.


    And you expect me to believe that? asked Nian Junting, both his tone and eyes revealing his scorn. You have only been here for a few days; dont make it sound like youre close with Steward Wu.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She felt that she had no way to exin herself to this man.


    Ill just take off your pants for you. Tired of exining, she took a step forward, bent over, dragged down his pajama pants with one hand, and gently supported his hip with the other.


    Nian Junting felt so awkward, he tightened his entire body. He turned his head, saw Luosangs forehead next to his shoulder, covered by her thick bangs. He couldnt see her eyes as they were covered by her hair too. It was his first time looking at her so closely, and he found her facial skin rather delicate. Maybe because she really felt shy, her cheeks were slightly red like cherry.


    He heard from Steward Wu that she was already thirty years old.


    But, can a thirty-year-old womans skin be in such a good condition? He wondered.


    He had also sensed a faint scent from her body. It was somewhat simr to the aroma of pear blossom, light and refreshing,pletely unlike a fragrance that a mature woman should have.


    He felt that her hand, which was gently supporting his hip, was so soft, it was as if no bones existed in it.


    He shivered suddenly, realizing that he was actually distracted by a woman older than himself.


    No, Ive got to divert my attention, he thought.


    Youre thirty years old, so I suppose you are married and a mom already, right?


    No. Luosang didnt dare to lower her head to look at his body, so after holding him up, she pulled off his pants and swiftly turned her head away.


    Nian Juntings eyesnded on her, then he said, You have bad taste in fashion, so its normal for you to be left on the shelf.


    Im used to this. Her face showed no sign of being hurt by his words.


    Nian Tingjun now didnt know how to respond. He suddenly felt that this conversation was boring. You can go out now. Ill call you when I finish, he said.


    After walking out of the bathroom, Luosang hurriedly went downstairs to pick up the broom, then came back up and cleaned the broken cup in the bedroom.


    Soonter, she opened the bathroom door and walked back in. Nian Junting was still sitting on the toilet, and he had pulled up his pajama pants slightly to cover his private part.


    She supported his hip with a hand again, then pulled up his pants for him and carried him back into the wheelchair.


    Nian Junting was still very unhappy to be carried by her, yet he had no choice but to tolerate it.


    After lying back on the bed, he warned her, If tomorrow Steward Wu asks you if I got up to use the bathroom tonight, you will tell him that I didnt, because I dont want the others to know that I was carried in a womans arms.


    Alright.


    This man is really sensitive about his reputation, she thought.


    Now go and get me a cup of water. Im thirsty. He gave her another order.


    Luosang sighed and said, Mr. Nian, you have already drunk two cups of water tonight. You drink too much water, and thats why you always need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Besides, youll get puffy if you drink too much water. She felt that she really needed to say this out loud.


    Nian Junting snorted coldly, threw her a sideways nce, and replied, You think I dont know that you said this only because you dont want to get up at night over and over again to help me to the bathroom? Do you wanna ck off? In your dreams! Can anyone earn money so easily? If you cant stand this, you can go.


    Feeling a little helpless, Luosang said, Of course not. I said that for your good. Getting up at night may reduce your sleep quality, and that is not good for your recovery.


    Do you think I want to keep drinking water? Ive been like this since I was little. Ill feel ufortable once my mouth is dry, even slightly. I need to keep my mouth moisturized to sleep. But I never get puffy, probably because Im already used to drinking this much water. Nian Junting frowned and said this with an impatient look.


    For a moment, Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    What kind of goddamn obsession is this? she wondered.


    This Cant you try and quit this habit?


    No, I cant! He was adamant when he refused.

 Chapter 4. Isnt That Breakfast Too Good for a Carer?

    Chapter 4. Isn''t That Breakfast Too Good for a Carer?


    Luosang had no choice but to go downstairs to get water for Nian Junting. Meanwhile, she told herself that she needed toe up with a solution. Staying up every night might lead to sudden death, even though she was young.


    The next morning, the breakfast was ready when she went downstairs. The long dining table wasden with all kinds of food, including both Chinese and Western cuisine. It was like a buffet breakfast served in a five star hotel.


    Sister Lan, who worked in the kitchen, was responsible for Nian Juntings breakfast, so Luosang could finally rest for a while at this time.


    Luosang, your breakfast, said Sister Lan while pointing at the portion served on an end of the table.


    Thank you, Sister Lan, said Luosang as she grabbed her food and sat down.


    Sister Lan was an amiable middle-aged woman. She prepared sweetcorn, eggs, xiaolongbao, and milk for Luosang. Luosang had a sleepless night, so when she saw the rich breakfast, she felt so hungry that her stomach began to gurgle.


    However, instead of eating right away, she waited until Sister Lan filled a bowl with porridge and began feeding Nian Junting. Then, she started eating slowly.


    Nian Junting didnt get enough sleep either, so he was in a bad mood. After finishing half a small bowl of porridge and a fried egg, he couldnt eat anymore food.


    From the corner of his eyes, he cast a quick nce at Luosang sitting in front of him, and found that she was eating like a prisoner. He saw her take a bite of the sweetcorn and then take a swig of milk. She had a very good appetite and was eating happily indeed.


    Shes so unpleasant to look at, heined silently to himself.


    When he was in a bad mood, he didnt like the look of anyone he saw.


    He knocked on hisp with his long and slender fingers, pointed at Luosang with his chin and said to Sister Lan, Shes just a carer; isnt that breakfast too good for her?


    Sister Lan paused briefly, then responded, I dont think so. We all have the same food.


    Is sheparable to you? said Nian Junting tly. She ims to be my carer, but she has been here for three days and Im not feeling even slightly better. She has done no work at all. From tomorrow and onwards, shell only have a steamed bun for breakfast.


    Hearing this conversation, Luosang choked on an egg and almost failed to swallow it.


    Sister Lan nced at Luosang sympathetically. She summoned up her courage and said to Nian Junting, Young Master, you said yourself that shes only been here for three days. How can you recover in just three days? The doctor said you need at least a month to recover. Dont you think youre being too stingy? Like people said, breakfast needs to be nutritious. She needs some good food for breakfast, or she wont have the energy to take care of you.


    Nian Juntings face darkened severely as he responded with, Sister Lan, if I am stingy, how could you have be so chubby? I remember that you were skinny when you first came, and now youre like a ball. One ball is enough for this house, I dont want two balls.


    Sister Lans chubby face dropped immediately, as if ten-thousand arrows had pierced through her heart.


    If she doesnt find the food good enough, then she can make her own. Youre here to work for me, not to cook for a carer, said Nian Junting. He then added, From this day on, shell have only cabbage and tofu for dinner and lunch.


    Sister Lan knitted her brows into a frown.


    Luosang put down her chopsticks, shook her head, and said to Sister Lan, Sister Lan, its alright. Lets just do what Mr. Nian says. Cabbage and tofu was better than nothing. Back when she first came to Xia City, she survived on steam buns and pickles.


    Sister Lan sighed helplessly.


    After breakfast, Steward Wu walked in while coughing and said, Young Master, I dont feel well today. I think I have a fever. May I take a leave to go to the hospital?


    Recalling what Luosang said yesterday, Nian Junting frowned, lowered his head, and responded, Go. When will you be back?


    Ill be back as soon as possible if theres nothing serious, said Steward Wu.


    After Steward Wu left, Nian Junting turned back to look at Luosang, who was eyeing him with her lips pressed together.


    The corners of her mouth turned up in a faint smile, as if she was telling himSee, I didnt lie; Steward Wu really is feeling unwell.


    Nian Junting curled his lips downwards and said, Now youve got a perfect excuse to take advantage of me.


    Luosang was again speechless.

 Chapter 5. Let Luosang Give You A Sponge Bath Tonight

    Chapter 5. Let Luosang Give You A Sponge Bath Tonight


    Well, he can think whatever he likes. Steward Wu will be back from the hospital this afternoon anyway, Luosang thought.


    However, in the evening, Steward Wu called Sister Lan to tell her that even though his fever had been brought down, he still felt awfully enervated, so he went back home and was being looked after by his wife.


    Sister Lan told this to Nian Junting, who felt utterly bored and had been watching TV on the bed. Young Master, I think we should let Luosang give you a sponge bath tonight, said Sister Lan.


    Luosang shuddered.


    Her? Nian Junting turned his head to look at Luosang, eyes immediately filled with vignce. I heard that women over thirty years old can be exceptionally horny, especially the unmarried ones like her. Im afraid that she might defile my young body.


    Luosang honestly didnt know what to say when she heard him.


    In fact Its not hot these days, and Young Master didnt sweat, so I think itll be fine if we skip the sponge bath for a day. But, if Young Master really needs it Luosang thought for a moment and said, Sister Lan, maybe you should do it


    Sister Lan was also diposed because of what Nian Junting said. Hearing Luosang, she automatically waved her hand and said, No, no, no, I definitely can not do it. Im over forty, and I got divorced. Im more afraid of defiling Young Masters young body than you.


    Luosang had to clench her teeth quite tight to prevent herself fromughing out loud. She raised her head to look at Nian Junting and found his face extremely dark.


    After finishing herst sentence, Sister Lan found the atmosphere a little weird, so she added with a flushed face, And Im heavy-handed and may identally hurt Young Master, so its just not appropriate for me to do it, and then hurriedly went downstairs.


    The air in the bedroom became even thinner because of the chill that emitted from Nian Junting.


    Feeling it a little hard to breathe, Luosang tucked her hair behind her ears and said, I Ill go get the water.


    As Nian Junting didnt say no, she now knew that she would have to give him that sponge bath tonight.


    Soon afterwards, she came up with a basin of warm water. After taking a deep breath, she unbuttoned the buttons of Nian Tingjuns pajama top one by one. His skin was olive-colored, and his muscles were beautiful. Even his lower abdominal muscles were clearly shaped and were obviously filled with strength, rising and falling slightly along with his breath. He had absolutely no extra fat on his waist even though he had been lying down all day. The only blemish of his body were some small scars which were not deep, but seemed to have existed for a long time.


    That wasnt strange though. Almost every man used to be a naughty little boy, and it was inevitable for a boy to leave some scars on his body.


    Yi Jingxi had simr scars, and ording to him, he was scratched by some twigs when climbing a tree, so those scars were left on his body.


    Thinking of him, Luosangs suddenly sensed a sharp pain from her heart. She felt it hard to breathe because the pain squeezed at her internal organs.


    She closed her eyes for a moment, then reopened them and calmed back down.


    She first wiped Nian Juntings upper body with a towel, then slowly took off his pants. She didnt dare to look at him, but only focused her eyes on the TV while randomly wiping his lower body.


    On TV, was an annual award ceremony of a TV station.


    Now, let me announce the winner of the Best Neer award this year Zhong Yi! Let us wee her on stage with apuse!


    A woman wearing an elegant blue dress and impable makeup slowly walked onto the stage with an innocent smile on her face.


    Luosang quivered and scrubbed Nian Tingjuns body slightly harder.


    Zhong Yi.


    Zhong Yi.


    The same as Yi Jingxi, that name had been torturing her like a bone-corroding poison the past year since she left An City. At first, she couldnt even sleep at night.


    Who would have thought that this morous girl on TV used to be her best friend, and that she had taken away her fiance and all the glories that were supposed to belong to her, just when she thought she was at the happiest moment of her life?

 Chapter 6. When Are You Gonna Stop Eye-raping Me?

    Chapter 6. When Are You Gonna Stop Eye-raping Me?


    Luosang would never forget how Yi Jingxi framed her father in court for molesting a student and sent him to prison a year ago. Yi Jingxi took away her family business, built single handedly by her father, and kicked her out of Xu Family. Afterwards, he made the entire dubbing circle ban her, and had her college put all sorts of obstacles in her way. He put Luosang through endless bullying and humiliation, which all forced her to finally drop out of college and leave An City atst.


    After that, Zhong Yi became famous like a dark horse with Yi Jiangxis help. She took a voice role in a blockbuster film, which was supposed to belong to Luosang. Yi Jingxi even spent massive amounts of money to make her the leading actress of a blockbuster fantasy film, directed by a famous director. Because of that film, Zhong Yi catapulted to fame, and in just a year she won the Best Neer award.


    As for Luosang, the daughter of Xu Family, and someone who used to stand high above the masses, she was now working humbly away from home as a carer.


    She started her dubbing career in junior high and had voiced in over a hundred films. In the eyes of others, she was a talented young dubber with a bright future.


    She truly didnt understand how everything changed so quickly. She used to see Zhong Yi as her best friend. At first, when there was no one willing to work with Zhong Yi, Luosang even asked around to find opportunities for her. And Yi Jingxi, what did Luosang ever do to him? Why did he send her father to prison and take away everything she had? He didnt even leave her a ce to stay in An City?


    Those two people


    An intense hatred rose from the bottom of Luosangs heart.


    Dont you know what shame is? You are scrubbing my skin off! shouted Nian Tingjuns as his icy-cold voice burst right next to Luosangs ear. He cried, How much longer are you gonna scrub that ce for?


    Luosang paused, then lowered her head to look at his body. When she saw the ce that she had been scrubbing, she felt blood flooding towards her face. She was trying to remain calm even though she felt as if she wanted to die.


    She used to have a boyfriend, and was once engaged, but she never had that kind of intimacy with Yi Jingxi. This was her first time seeing a mans private part so clearly.


    That little thing was on the verge of raising its head.


    When are you gonna stop eye-raping me? screamed Nian Junting. His handsome face flushed a dark-purple at the moment. If a fierce gaze could kill, Luosang would have died countless times in that moment.


    I Im sorry, murmured Luosang as she heard his yell, and hurriedly pulled up his pants with shaking hands. However, she was too nervous and identally touched his private part.


    You, countered Nian Junting who suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Lusang with his whole body tightened.


    I didnt do it on purpose I was watching TV just now, the award winner is too pretty, so I got distracted, Luosang stuttered while trying to exin. She asked, The skin isnt broken, is it? I tried to check just now but, but its all dark I cant tell


    After saying that, she just wanted to bite her tongue off.


    Why did she say that? Why on earth did she say that?


    What is dark? said Nian Junting as he stared at Luosang like an angry hedgehog with standing sharp thorns. His eyes were like a pair of invisible sharp daggers, preparing to slice her into a thousand pieces. You meant to say that Im not clean, didnt you? he asked.


    Even though he hadnt showered since he was injured, he still had a sponge bath every day. How could Luosang say that? Did Steward Wu not wipe him clean?


    NoIdont know, Luosangs face flushed scarlet as she responded. Probably because her brain wasnt working well at that moment. Then she added, Ive never seen a mans private part before.


    Youre a thirty-year-old woman, dont y innocent with me, said Nian Junting, extremely irritated.

 Chapter 7. Dont Touch Me

    Chapter 7. Don''t Touch Me


    Luosang blinked her eyes while looking at Nian Junting, blushing and looking quite innocent indeed.


    Nian Junting suddenly didnt know how to continue. This woman isnt a thirty-year-old virgin, is she? No wonder shes acting like a horny female monster, trying to find all kinds of excuse to scrub me. Its so creepy, he thought.


    However, what made him feel even more creeped out was the fact that his body had actually reacted to her.


    Was he too sex-starved to be picky now?


    He shivered, then said to Luosang, Go downstairs and tell Sister Lan to call Doctor Han. Call Xiao Si too.


    Are you feeling unwell? Worrying that her careless act might have hurt Nian Junting made Luosang nervous.


    Its none of your business. Just go and talk to Sister Lan. A slightly embarrassed expression shed across Nian Juntings eyes as he responded. His tone was even meaner than before.


    Luosang went downstairs to inform Sister Lan, then came back up right away. She felt restless, as she was afraid of being fired by this nit-picking young master.


    After all, her college fund was depending on this job.


    Fortunately, Nian Junting didnt shout at her again after she came back upstairs, butid still on the bed, eyes wide opened. His pajama top was still unbuttoned, exposing his chest.


    Luosang intended to button up his top as she worried that he might catch a cold, but before her hand even touched his cloth, he yelled dont touch me at her.


    I screwed up. Luosang thought of nothing but these few words. He wouldnt even let her touch him now, so how was she supposed to take care of him from now on?


    Mr. Nian, I really didnt do it on purpose.


    She didnt mean to see his private part or scrub that ce for so long, nor did she have any attempt to molest him. She seriously had no desire to do anything to him.


    Yuan Junting snorted, then turned his handsome face away without saying a word to Luosang.


    In about twenty minutes, Doctor Han showed up in the bedroom. He was wearing a pair of sses, looking gentle and elegant.


    Before Doctor Han asked any questions, Nian Junting threw a sideways nce at Luosang and said to her, Go downstairs.


    But As your carer, I need to know about your physical condition to take better care of you, right? asked Luosang with hesitation.


    Go downstairs, or you can pack your bags and go home, Nian Junting warned her with a dark face. Close the door when you leave.


    Luosang had no other choice but to turn and leave. When she was about to close the door, a figure in blue clothing rushed up in a hurry, shouting, Tingting, Tingting, why did you call me so urgently? Are you paralyzed?


    Luosang staggered and almost fell.


    Tingting?


    Oh my, what a disgusting nickname. she thought.


    Ive told you not to call me that, Nian Juntings furious warning voice could be heard from the bedroom, Ill break your legs when I recovered, believe it or not.


    Tingting, dont be like this, were friends, the man in blue said, grinning cheekily. If you can get on your feet, I wouldnt dare call you that.


    Luosang and the man saw each others faces. He was wearing a zer and a pair of jeans, looking to be about Nian Tingjuns age. He had a chiseled face, full lips, and white teeth, and looked like a kind and big-hearted man from an ink painting.


    Yo, is that a new carer? Xiao Si nced at Luosang quickly, then walked into the bedroom and conveniently shut the door.


    A look of concern was shown in Luosangs face as she went downstairs. She sincerely hoped that there was nothing seriously wrong with Nian Junting.


    In the bedroom, Nian Juntings chest heaved, as he was so mad at Xiao Si. He believed that he had made a mistake to call Xiao Si over.


    He took a deep breath and turned his eyes to Doctor Han with a slightly strange expression, then cleared his throat and said, Doctor Han, I remember that you were responsible for my recovery seven years ago when I had that ident in the army. At that time you said that my thing.. is uh But today, I suddenly felt that part of my body have a reaction

 Chapter 8. You Shouldnt Have Such A Low Taste

    Chapter 8. You Shouldn''t Have Such A Low Taste


    Doctor Han paused as Xiao Si asked surprisedly, Really? What happened?


    Nian Junting pressed his lips into a thin line. He had seen numerous doctors abroad and taken countless medicines over the years. Many times he was on the verge of giving up on himself, but today, his body unexpectedly reacted to the carers touch. He was delighted, but also too embarrassed to tell the others about what happened.


    If the carer were a young and beautiful woman, he would ept it easily, but she was average-looking and older than himself.


    What the hell was wrong with him?


    Some people wouldugh their heads off if they knew what happened.


    Yeah, what happened exactly? Doctor Han smiled and asked the same question. He said, I need to know what happened so I can make an assesment.


    Nian Junting coughed, then clenched his teeth and said, When the new carer was giving me a sponge bath


    Carer? Xiao Si blinked and said. When he realized who Nian Junting was talking about, he asked in disbelief, Is it one I bumped into when I came in? No way! Shes so old-fashioned and looks like a country woman. I mean, no matter how horny you are, you shouldnt have such a low taste, right?


    Shut up, grunted Nian as he clenched his fists tight enough to click his joints as he wanted to tear Xiao Sis mouth apart.


    Doctor Han, am I recovering? he asked.


    That I cant tell for sure, remarked Doctor Han who then remained silent for a while. He then shook his head and continued talking, As Ive told you before, the nerves of that part of your body were injured. However, after all the treatments you had through the years, the injuries have healed. You stayed like this mainly because youre under too much mental pressure, and you remain upset and unconfident. What happened this time is a surprise. I think you should keep this carer for a while and just let her take care of you.


    Doctor Han, you mean he should let the carer to wipe him frequently, dont you? Xiao Si smiled evilly and said.He might just recover after trying that a few more times, but thatll be some strong taste, he said whileughing.


    Nian Junting shouted,Shut your mouth! Merely picturing that scene made Nian Junting feel as if his head was exploding. I have no interest to her, he said.


    Alright, I was joking, said Xiao Si while rubbing his chin, I think youre just too lonely. Someday Ill take you to Eighteen Pearl House, then get you a couple of nice and clean girls to try that.


    Thats an idea, said Doctor Han while nodding.


    Nian Junting dropped his eyes and remained silent.


    If theres nothing else, Ill leave and let you rest, Doctor Han said and prepared to leave.


    Ill go with you. I was ying mahjong out there, and I was winning. I might win myself hundreds of thousands if I get back right now, said Xiaosi.


    With a dry voice, Nian Junting said, You stay, I need you to do something for me. Xiao Si stopped walking. After Doctor Han left, he asked, What is it? Is it important?


    No Nian Junting licked his dry lips then responded while pretending to be nonchnt, Wipe my private part for me.


    What Xiao Si was confused, so he asked, Didnt the carer wipe you just now?


    Nian Junting responded, She didnt wipe me clean. Do you have other questions? Nian Juntings handsome face turned awfully dark as he raised his eyes slightly.. The light sparkled in those eyes was as cold as the glisten of a sword, threatening to freeze Xiao Si.


    Xiao Si surrendered, said weakly, Ill do that, but you cant react to me.


    Piss off Nian Junting was infuriated.


    It was twenty past nine and Luosang heard the bedroom door open.


    She automatically stood up, and then paused as she saw Xiao Sis eyes fixing right on her as if he was seeing through her. His eyes contained a strong interest and some confusion.

 Chapter 9. Dont Tell Your Boss, its Our Secret

    Chapter 9. Don''t Tell Your Boss, it''s Our Secret


    Hey, I heard that youre thirty years old, but you look younger than that. Youre not really that old, are you? Youve been taking good care of your skin! I think youll look much younger if you quit wearing this sses Xiao Si reached his hand toward Luosangs sses and attempted to take it off.


    Luosang subconsciously took a step backward and said, Im near-sighted, so I need the sses. Please dont make a fool of me. I do want to look younger, but I really am thirty already. Its hard to tell a womans real age nowadays.


    Thats true, Xiao Si said as he punched his right palm with his left hand, Theres a new girl in ourpany whos pretty and fashionable and has this girlish voice. I thought she was around twenty, but today I asked her and found out that shes twenty-eight.


    Luosang smiled silently.


    Take good care of your boss. Hes okay. Hell just asionally act like a fool, said Xiaosi with a faint smile and a meaningful tone.


    He stopped as he walked past Luosang, then turned back his head and put his mouth near her ear to continue talking with a voice that only the two of them could hear. Next time when you wipe your bosss private area, wipe it clean so he wont call me over to wipe it again. Im very busy.


    Eh Luosang blushed at her temples.


    So he called this man over just to wipe his? she wondered.


    Dont tell your boss that I said this; its our secret. Hes too sensitive about his reputation, so if he finds out, hell feel embarrassed. After saying this, Xiao Si winked at Luosang with a naughty smile, then walked away.


    Luosang was left speechless.


    She silently prayed that Steward Wu woulde back early tomorrow, as it was more appropriate for him to do the hard chores such as sponge-bathing Nian Junting.


    Fortunately, the next morning after she got up, she saw that Steward Wu was already back.


    Luosang, thank you for your hard workst night. Steward Wu showed deep sympathy for Luosang when he saw her chewing a dry steamed bread with two dark circles under her eyes. He clearly knew how demanding it was to take care of his Young Master at night. That was exactly how he got ill.


    It wasnt hard. I just did what I am supposed to do, Luosang responded. After that, she hesitated shortly and continued, But Steward Wu, I think its better that you give him the sponge bath every night.


    Okay, I get it, Steward Wu gave her a knowing smile and replied, Ive heard from Sister Lan about what happened yesterday. You cant live on steamed bread and cabbages. Later Ill tell Sister Lan to save you some good dishes. Our Young Master isnt a stingy person, he has just been in a bad mood since he got injured.


    Luosangs heart was warmed when she heard Steward Wu. She hadnt sensed that kind of warmth for a long time. Thank you, but no need, because if Mr. Nian finds out, hell me you and cut my wage. I can survive on cabbages. When I have time Ill give you the money and ask you to buy some extra food for me. Then I can cook for myself.


    You are just too honest, sighed Steward Wu.


    Yes. Mr. Nian is going to the hospital for physical therapy this morning, right? I was wondering if I could take a couple of hours off to go back to where I live to pick up some clothes, as youll be with him this morning, said Luosang carefully. Can you talk to Mr. Nian for me?


    Alright, Steward Wu responded smilingly. He walked to Nian Junting and said something to him with a low voice.


    Nian Junting raised his eyes, gazed at Luosang for a while, then nodded. He seemed to have said a few words, as his lips moved slightly.


    A whileter, Steward Wu came over and said to Luosang, Young Master agreed. He also asked if you wanted a lift. This is a surburban neighborhood, so its not convenient to take a taxi from here.


    Luosang felt extremely ttered. Thank you so much, but I can go on my own. Theres no reason to trouble Mr. Nian. Ill finish my breakfast soon, so if I take off early, I cane back early too. I think theres still some time before Mr. Nian is ready to leave, she said.

 Chapter 11. Mr. Nian Can Shake Xia City by Stomping His Foot

    Chapter 11. Mr. Nian Can Shake Xia City by Stomping His Foot


    Luosangs heart was warmed. She had been in Xia City for quite long, but few people had ever cared about her.


    Sometimes people cared about each other, but not because they were close or had known each other for long. She had known Yi Jingxi forever, yet he betrayed her without hesitation.


    Sister Miao, Im young and energetic. I can handle it, and Im good, she responded.


    Thats good to hear, said Sister Miao, Theres something I didnt tell you before. The Young Master Nian, who you have been taking care of, isnt an ordinary rich man. You may not know about this as youre not from Xia City, but this Mr. Nian can shake the entire city by simply stomping his foot. The family members on his fathers side in three generations were mostly military leaders, and his mother is the president of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation.


    Zhong Zhou Group Corporation? Luosang paused. She knew little about the business world, but she had heard from her father that the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation is one of the worlds top 300panies and have set foot in real estate, finance, tourism, the health industry, and all sorts of other industries. Its total assets had reached four trillion.


    Yeah, his grandfather is the group chairman, Sister Miao continued, Young Master was going to follow his fathers footsteps and serve in the military, but sadly, when he was twenty-one, he got injured in the army during a mission. He couldnt stay in the army after that, so he went abroad to study. When he returned, he started an investmentpany, and in just four years, thatpany is already valued at ten-billion dors.


    Luosang was astounded.


    That picky, OCD-like patient turned out to be so capable.


    Luosang felt that she had lived her life in vain whenparing herself with him.


    So you should do the job well, and dont make him dislike you. Knowing him, you will never need to be afraid of being bullied in Xia City, said Sister Miao withughter. That man is like a prince. By the way, the New Year ising, and I heard the housekeepers in his family each receive hundreds of thousands of dors as the year-end bonus.


    Luosang smiled faintly and responded, Sister Miao, I wont daydream about that. Im not a senior housekeeper in Nian Family. Ive been there for only two days, and I dont think Mr. Nian likes me. Hes rich, indeed, but he wont waste his money for nothing. And, I have no n to stay in the Nian Family for my whole life. Ill leave when Mr. Nian recovers.


    Sister Miao sighed, but then praised, Luosang, youre young but not greedy at all. People always want extra money nowadays, and youre the only one who surprises me.


    Luosang gave a bitter smile, then cast eyes on her own blurred reflection in the subway window.


    That was probably because she grew up in a privileged environment. She never worried about money before, and she had gotten used to it. Even though she had nothing now, she didnt intend to change herself.


    Aftering out of the subway station, she went to the supermarket nearby and bought some instant noodles, snacks, and vegetables, because she nned to cook for herself when she got hungry at night or had spare time. After all, she poorly slept almost every night and had nothing to eat but steamed bread; she needed to figure out a solution to that situation.


    When it was half past eleven, she returned to the vi. Nian Junting wasnt back yet, so she decided to make herself some food first. She walked into the kitchen with the vegetables that she just bought and asked Sister Lan, Sister Lan, can I borrow the stove to make something for myself?


    Eh? Why did you get your own groceries? Sister Lan really felt ashamed for her Young Master. Just help yourself to the food in the fridge.


    Its alright, these are cheap anyway, Luosang said smilingly while opening the stic bag in her hand.


    Sister Lan nced at the bag and frowned, as she found that it was all discounted, cheap vegetables the Nian Family would never buy. She assumed that Luosang had been living a difficult life and learned how to pinch pennies. Somehow, she thought of her own daughter and felt sad for Luosang, but she had no way of changing Nian Juntings bad temper.

 Chapter 12. Nian Juntings Face Suddenly Turned Frosty

    Chapter 12. Nian Junting''s Face Suddenly Turned Frosty


    It was ten past twelve when Nian Junting came back, and the bright, broad house was filled with the smell of stir-fried shredded potatoes. The couple of hours he spent at hospital had put him a bad mood and hunger, so he asked without thinking, Sister Lan, did you make shred potatoes with vinegar sauce today? It smells good


    As Steward Wu was pushing him into the dining room, he saw Luosang before he finished asking the question. She was sitting by a small table near the window while having her own meal. He saw a few potato shreds in her slightly opened mouth.


    Sister Lan, didnt I tell you that this woman can only have in rice and cabbage? He narrowed his eyes and asked with a very unfriendly voice.


    Shes eating again. This woman knows nothing but to eat he thought.


    This morning, she lied to him and went to eat beef rice noodles, and now shes eating shred potatoes with vinegar sauce.


    Shes like some kind of animal.


    Luosang hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth. She wanted to exin, but before she could, Sister Lan came out of the kitchen with two dishes in her hands and said, Young Master, I only made her in rice and cabbage. The potato shred and Mapo tofu shes having were bought with her own money, and she cooked them herself as well.


    A tense atmosphere immediately developed in the dining room, and Nian Juntings face suddenly turned frosty.


    Even Steward Wu felt embarrassed for his Young Master.


    He knew that the Young Master was trying to take this opportunity to vent his anger at Luosang, because she went to eat beef rice noodles this morning without letting him know, but it unexpectedly blew up in his face.


    As a carer of Young Master Nian, Luosang now needed to buy and cook her own food  in the Young Masters eyes, shredded potatoes and Mapo tofu were too good for her.


    Young Master, youre really going too far, thought Steward Wu.


    Young Master, I didnt make shred potatoes with vinegar sauce today, said Sister Lan apologetically, If I knew you wanted


    Its alright Sister Lan, I made plenty of shredded potatoes, so if Mr. Nian wants some, we can share. Luosang wanted tough when she saw the angry, embarrassed look on Nian Juntings face. Sister Lan had really helped to worsen his embarrassing situation.


    Who said that I even want it? The situation was beyond what Nian Junting could stand, so he interrupted Luosang and said, I was saying that the vinegar shredded potato smells so bad that the entire house stinks. Ive lost my appetite. Youre not allowed to have shredded potatoes in here, so take your food and go eat outside.


    Yes, sir, Luosang responded with a faint smile and quietly went outside with her food.


    Next, Sister Lan served a rich lunch to Nian Junting. However, he had no appetite at all when he looked at all the dishes on the table.


    He was too angry to eat and said, Sister Lan, youre not allowed to let her use the kitchen again.


    Sister Lan opened her mouth as she couldnt help but disagree, but Steward Wu hurriedly sent her a hint with his eyes and made her stop.


    At night, after Steward Wu gave him a sponge bath and Nian Junting read for awhile and then prepared to sleep. Luosang thought for a moment, then walked to his bed and said, Mr. Nian, I know you havent been sleeping well thest couple of nights, and its quite difficult for you to fall asleep. Ive learned a massage maniption that helps with sleep. Would you like to give it a try? If you sleep well, youll have a good mood and will recover quicker. This massage maniption is also good for healing your spine injuries.


    She sincerely hoped that Nian Junting could sleep well at night so that she could also get some extra sleep.


    Um, muttered Nian Junting stared at her for a short while, speechless.


    Luosang helped him to sit up, then kneeled on his bed to help him rx his neck and shoulders first.


    Her fingers were long and slender, pressing on his skin with just the right amount of strength. It made Nian Junting feel quitefortable. She was kneeling before him, and he was facing her chest. Her sweater was woven from coarse yarn. Because they were too close or perhaps his eyesight was too good, but he could see her snow-white skin and pink cloth through the sweater.

 Chapter 13. Was He Telling Her that Shes No Better Than His Dog?

    Chapter 13. Was He Telling Her that She''s No Better Than His Dog?


    Nian Junting suddenly had a weird feeling. When Luosangs palms pressed on his hip bones, shivers ran down through his entire body from the top of his head and almost made him moan with pleasure.


    He couldnt stop his breath from bing quicker and heavier.


    As his body felt more and more strange, he hurriedly pushed her hands aside.


    Whats wrong? Luosang thought he didnt like it.


    Im tired, I should get to sleep, he said.


    Luosang helped him lie down, then tucked him in.


    He closed his eyes. His heavy brows frowned even when asleep, but that didnt change the smooth lines of his face or affect his stunning appearance.


    He truly had a breathtakingly charming face.


    Luosang rested her eyes upon him for a few extra seconds. As she prepared to turn away, he suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and caught her staring at him.


    Dont stare at me. Turn off the lights, and go to bed, he said.


    Luosang was a little speechless.


    Who wants to stare at him while hes sleeping? He really must believe hes extremely popr, thought Luosang.


    In the middle of the night, Nian Junting woke up once because of thirst, but he slept much better than thest couple of nights.


    In the morning, he unprecedentedly gave Luosang apliment by saying, I didnt expect your massaging skills to be that good.


    Luosang smiled calmly.


    She had always been confident about her massaging skills.


    The next morning, when Luosang wheeled Nian Juntings chair into the dining room, she smelled the scent of beef rice noodles. As she dropped her eyes to the table, she found that the breakfast included beef rice noodles. The rice noodle was beautifully colored, and the beef on top of it was cut neatly and covered in oil. Seeing such an enticing bowl of beef rice noodles in morning greatly boosted her appetite.


    It definitely tasted better than the beef rice noodles she had yesterday.


    Luosang was hungry already. Smelling her favorite kind of noodles, she now felt even more hungry and even heard her belly rumbling.


    However, she kept her eyes straight, because her parents teachings wouldnt allow her to look hungry.


    Nian Junting threw a sideways nce at her, then coldly quirked up the corners of his lips and said, Sister Lan, your culinary skills are a lot worse than before. I lost my appetite the moment I saw this.


    Steward Wu, who was holding the beef rice noodle and preparing to feed him, paused and asked, Young Master, then this rice noodle


    Discard it. I have no appetite when looking at it. Once he finished this sentence, he saw Luosangs calm face move slightly, so he elegantly grinned and asked her, Whats wrong, Luosang? Do you want it?


    No Luosang shook her head and responded. But I think its quite wasteful to discard it.


    Nian Junting remained silent and thought for a while, then said with a smile, Its wasteful indeed. Steward Wu, go bring Xiaosi here from the backyard. This morning, hell have beef rice noodles for breakfast.


    Xiao Si


    Luosang paused, suddenly thinking of the well-groomed man who visited the night beforest.


    Does he live in Nian Juntings backyard? she wondered.


    When Steward Wu came back with a ck and white skan mmute, Luosang realized that she was wrong.


    Nian Junting named his dog after his close friend.


    It was so awful.


    How can this kind of person have friends? Its inconceivable. His friends are so unlucky, Luosang thought.


    Xiaosi seemed to be well-trained. Once he received the order from Steward Wu, he nimbly hopped onto a dining chair and squeezed his giant body together, looking very fitting.


    Give him a fried bread stick too, said Nian Junting while ncing at Luosang again. Seeing her face twitch slightly, he was very delighted. Ah, dont forget Luosangs steamed bread, he added.


    Had he been clearly telling her that she was no better than his dog?


    Luosang was used to this.


    Steward Wu was speechless.

 Chapter 14. A Thousand Per Day? Thats Too Little

    Chapter 14. A Thousand Per Day? That''s Too Little


    Yesterday, Steward Wu thought that his Young Master was stung by his conscience and finally decided to improve Luosangs diet to the level of beef rice noodles.


    However, he really overestimated his Young Master.


    Eh Young Master, I dont think Xiaosi can have beef rice noodles, Steward Wu kindly reminded Nian Junting as he discovered that Xiaosi staring at his bowl. And it seems pretty spicy


    Nian Junting suddenly stared at Xiaosi with a pair of cold dagger eyes and said,Is our dog really so pampered?


    Under pressure by Nian Junting, the poor Xiaosi painfully lowered his head to eat the beef rice noodles.


    Luosang couldnt help but show pity for the dog.


    Being Nian Juntings carer was miserable, but being his friends and dog was probably worse.


    Suddenly, the sound of a car was heard from the backyard, and followed by the clicks of high-heels.


    Luosang turned her head and saw a strange yet beautiful woman walking in. She looked between thirty and forty years old, had an oval face, arched eyebrows, and her ck coat matched perfectly with her long white dress. Her well-cared for ck hair fell over her shoulders, making her look elegant and graceful.


    What brings you here? said Nian Junting as his mouth dropped at the sight that woman.


    Im your mother, and I care about you. Im here to see if youre feeling better. Watch your attitude. The woman set down her small ck purse on the couch, and then walked toward the dining room.


    Luosang paused for a second. This woman looked so young that Luosang thought she was Nian Juntings sister. However, judging by what she said, she was none other than Murong Cheng, the president of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation. Luosang was almost frightened by the overwhelming aura of a sessful, powerful woman.


    If you care about me then why do you still have the spirits to dress up? scoffd Nian Junting who showed no intention to conceal his scorn and disdain.


    Murong Chen scolded, Youre not disabled permanently. Youre a man but cant cope with this little difficulty. You want to yell at everyone every day, fine, but do you really want your mother to cry endlessly for you and to look like an ugly old woman? Murong Cheng smiled coldly and continued, Im not old yet, so of course Im going to dress up to try and find love again as soon as possible.


    Nian Junting pressed his thin lips together, and then turned his eyes away. The expression in his face was a littleplicated.


    Luosang lowered her head to chew her steamed bread and pretended to not hear this shocking news about this rich and powerful family. It turned out that Nian Junting didnt get along with his parents.


    Ahyaya, are you crazy? How could you make Xiaosi eat this spicy rice noodle? cried Murong Cheng. She finally discovered the poor Xiaosi and quickly walked over to drag the dog off the dining chair.


    Ow! Xiaosi raised his mouth, it was covered in oil. His eyes were filled with tears because the rice noodle was too spicy.


    Murong Cheng nced at Xiaosi with pity, then shifted her eyes to Luosang. Pausing shortly, she frowned and said to Nian Junting, Is she your new carer? The dog is eating beef rice noodle while your carer has steamed bread. Tingting, do you want me to get you a shrink? I know you feel bad being stuck in this wheelchair, but you cant vent all your anger towards other people?


    Nian Junting slightly moved his thin lips and said,Its none of your business.


    Child Murong Cheng gave him a threatening nce then abruptly turned to Luosang. She smiled to her and said, Im really sorry, my son doesnt know how to be nice. Its my fault, I failed to educate him properly. Being a carer is an exhausting job. From now on, you can have whatever you want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner  just let Sister Lan know. And, I heard that youre paid a thousand yuan per day, right? Thats too little! Ill add on another thousand.


    Luosang had always been a calm person, but Murong Chengs exceptionally warm smile made her feel she was in a dream. When she realized what was happening, she hurriedly refused and said, Thank you, but you dont need to. A thousand is enough, and Ive already signed the contract with Steward Wu earlier.

 Chapter 15. Does She Need to Sponge-bathe Nian Junting Every Day?

    Chapter 15. Does She Need to Sponge-bathe Nian Junting Every Day?


    You have to ept it. I know how my son is. Hes just way too hard to please, said Murong Cheng, her face filled with dislike. Tell me, whats your name? How old are you?


    Luosang was surprised a little. Didnt people say that thedies from wealthy families were all exceptionally picky and hard to get along with? But Mrs. Nian seemed to be unexpectedly nice. And her questions Why did she make this whole thing sound like a blind date?


    My name is Luosang, and Im thirty years old.


    Ah Thirty Murong Chengs voice tailed off, sounding full of regret. But soon, she smilingly called Sister Lan over and said, As of now, Luosang can have meals with Tingting, and theyll have exactly the same food. Shes a carer, not a maid. Theyre employer and employee, and its an equal rtionship.


    Mom Nian Junting red at his mom sullenly and said, This is my home, can you stay out of this? If you do this again, Ill refuse to eat.


    Whatever, said Murong Cheng carelessly, The food can be saved if you dont eat. When you get hungry, go and eat outside on your own if you can, or maybe cook some food for yourself. But since you look so much like a disabled man that you even need someone to feed you, I doubt you can do that.


    You Nian Junting trembled with anger.


    The trembling Nian Junting reminded Luosang of a stroke patient.


    Mrs. Nian is awesome, thought Luosang.


    Alright, Im your mom, and Im the boss of this house unless you dont want me to be your mom anymore. Murong Cheng rubbed Xiaosis fluffy head as she said, Also, I prepare to build a house in the South Garden, but Im short-handed, so I need Steward Wu to help me for a while. Sister Lan and Luosang will be responsible for you.


    Nian Junting paused, then realized that something was wrong. You should hire people if youre short-handed. I only have three people, and I cant move myself, but you still intend to take one of them away. How can you be like that as a mother?


    Dont you always prefer fewer people around you? And I heard that Steward Wu is responsible and careful, so I think I can trust him. While speaking, Murong Cheng looked at her watch and continued with, Alright, thats it. I have an important meeting at ten oclock, so I need to leave now.


    After standing up, she took out a business card from her purse and handed it to Luosang. She said, Luosang, Ill leave Tingting to you. Call me if he bullies you. She left quickly after she finished talking.


    So why on earth did youe? murmured Nian Junting. He believed that his mom was here for Steward Wu instead of checking on him as imed.


    What did he do wrong in his previous life that got himself a mom like this in his present life?


    Nian Junting felt that one day he would be mad at his mom enough to kill himself.


    Luosang wasnt happy either. If Steward Wu went to help Mrs. Nian, she would need to sponge-bath Nian Junting every day, wouldnt she?


    She couldnt calm down no matter how hard she tried when thinking about the fact that she now needed to face Nian Juntings little thing every single day.


    Nian Junting suddenly reached his hand toward Luosang and said, Get my phone. He somehow managed to calm back down within a minute.


    After all, Murong Chengs attitude toward Luosang was too weird.


    Waking up from her thoughts, Luosang hurriedly handed Nian Junting his phone.


    Nian Junting quickly called Doctor Han and asked, Did you tell my mom something?


    Madam asks about your condition every day. Earlier I mentioned to her that you called me the other day. I think its important


    Han Ming, Ill fire you, believe it or not, said Nian Junting as his face turned extremely dark. Youre not the only doctor in the world.

 Chapter 16. Tingtings Gonna Like These, These Are His Favorite

    Chapter 16. Tingting''s Gonna Like These, These Are His Favorite


    Young Master Nian, your illness has always been kept secret, so I assume its not appropriate to let other people know about it, right? Besides, Ive been responsible for your recovery all this time, and no one knows about your condition better than I. You dont need to be angry. Madam isnt a stranger, and she really cares about you, said Doctor Han seriously.


    Are you threatening me now? cried Nian Junting as his voice turned deeper and colder than before.


    How do I dare? Doctor Han said with a bitterugh.


    Nian Junting coldly hung up the phone and unhappily nced at Luosang sat beside him eating fried bread sticks and porridge.


    Luosang sensed the tense atmosphere, so she bravely raised her head to look straight at the owner of the gaze fixed on her. She couldnt pronounce clearly as she was still chewing her food, but she looked quite calm.


    Madam just said that I can have whatever I want, she said.


    You know nothing but to eat. Youre like some kind of animal which knows only how to eat and drink, said Nian Junting coldly and scornfully.


    I wont have the strength to work if I cant get enough to eat, Luosang responded while blinking her innocent eyes.


    I was teasing you, dont you get it? asked Nian Junting.


    I know, but Im used to it, said Luosang.


    After having an unpleasant morning and lunch, Nian Junting grouchily went to bed for his afternoon nap with Luosangs help.


    Luosang stood by the bed and spent a while looking at his brows, which didnt stop frowning even when he was asleep. Then, she gently tucked him in and prepared to go downstairs to rest a little.


    She wanted nothing more than to finish taking care of Nian Junting, collecting her sry, and leaving once he recovered.


    She didnt expect Mrs. Nian to double her wage. At first, she only nned to earn enough for tuition fees, but now her living costs could be covered as well. That was an unexpected, yet pleasant surprise.


    With a faint smile, Luosang went downstairs and found Xiao Si was standing in the living room, holding a stack of books. He was smiling in the bright daylight, looking like an honest and harmless fox.


    Sister, Tingting isnt sleeping, is he? Xiao Si asked when he saw her.


    Luosang felt a little strange to be called sister, but it seemed that she had sessfully made herself look older than her real age.


    Mr. Nian went to sleep just now, she responded.


    Then I wont wake him up. He always gets extremely grumpy when somebody wakes him up, said Xiaosi. He took two steps forward and put the stack of books in Luosangs hands while saying, These are the books that I found for him to refresh his knowledge. Tell him to take his time reading these when he wakes up.


    Luosang nodded. She felt that Xiao Si was a good friend, and wondered if he knew that Nian Junting had named his dog after him.


    What a nice friend, yet Nian Junting showed no respect towards him.


    However, when she lowered her head to look at the books in her hands, she saw some weird titles and some sexy photographs ofdies in bikinis.


    Even as a woman, she blushed when seeing those.


    This, she stammered.


    Tingtings gonna love these, theyre his favorites. Tell him to cherish them since I spent a whole day finding him collective editions, said Xiaosi.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    She couldnt help but to quickly leaf through the other few books, and found that the book on the top was the most conservative one among all.


    Holding these books, she felt like she was carrying glowing coals. She was going to have some water before, but now she just wanted to go upstairs andy these books down as soon as possible.

 Chapter 17. Mr. Nian… You Dont Need to Be Shy

    Chapter 17. Mr. Nian�� You Don''t Need to Be Shy


    Nian Junting woke up at three oclock in the afternoon. After joining a short video conference of hispany by using his phone, he started feeling extremely bored.


    Seeing this, Luosang said to him and said, Mr. Xiao brought a bunch of books for you to read when you were sleeping.


    Book? Nian Junting was surprised as he believed that it was scarce for a tasteless guy like Xiao Si to read any book. Show me, he said.


    Luosang blushed slightly, but she turned back and carried all of the books on the tea table to Nian Junting, then said, Theres quite a lot. Take your time.


    Nian Junting thought those were normal magazines, but when he picked one and gave a look, his face even turned green. He directly threw the magazine out, yelling, What the hell is that? Are you trying to make me sick?


    But Mr. Xiao said that these are your favorite, Luosang blinked and said. She didnt want to believe that this was Nian Juntings real reaction and wondered if he was pretending. Mr. Nian, actually You dont need to be shy. I can understand it, that you Youve been lying on the bed for so long after all, and ording to estimates by psychologists, many men like these things


    Understand my ass. Nian Junting couldnt help but swear. He believed that Luosang made him angrier on purpose.


    He didnt want to say another word to Luosang, but called Xiaosi directly.


    Once the call connected, Xiao Si bursted intoughter on the other side of the phone and said, Tingting, did you get my present? Those are awesome, right? You like them, dont you?


    Xiao Si, not everyone is like you, OK? Nian Junting felt that he had lost his facepletely, as Xiao Si actually made Luosang believe that he was into this kind of vulgar magazines.


    What? I did it for your good. You said that your body finally responded, so I think you may recover if you spend more time reading these stuff to stimte your body, said Xiaosi with an innocent tone, I was going to send you some videos, but you have thatdy taking care of you and I thought its not appropriate for you two to watch that kind of video together. I mean, shes unmarried, and you are energetic. A single man and a single woman you know? So, if you lose control and do something bad I dont think thatd be good


    Nian Junting subconsciously nced at Luosang who stood beside him. He didnt want her to hear what Xiaosi said, so he stayed calm and quickly turned down the volume of his phone. After that, he called Xiaosi psycho and then hung up on the phone.


    Then, he raised his head to look at Luosang, who was wearing old-fashioned clothes. Recalling Xiaosis words, his handsome face twisted as he said to Luosang, Get these magazines away. If Xiaosi ever brings any other strange things, reject him directly.


    Alright Seeing the look in his face, Luosang felt confused. Did he really not like these things? Wasnt he pretending?


    It seemed that she did need to regard him with special respect.


    At night, since Steward Wu wasnt here, the sponge bath had be a very awkward thing.


    Because of what happened thest time, Luosang was worried the whole time and didnt dare mention the previous sponge bath.


    Nian Junting didnt want to do it either. He felt ufortable, as he thought that Luosang might find some excuse again to eye-rape him. And if his body reacts again, that would be way too embarrassing.


    At ten oclock, Sister Lan came upstairs to remind him, Young Master, itste. You should take the sponge bath then get to sleep.


    While speaking, she smilingly looked at Luosang.


    Luosang sneakily nced at Nian Junting. Seeing that he remained silent with a dark face, she knew that she would have to give him that sponge bath tonight. So, she silently went to prepare the warm water.


    When she came back out, Sister Lan had already left.


    Get me a pair of clean underpants from the drawer in the closet. Nian Junting directly gave an order without even looking at her.


    Okay. Luosang put down the basin of water and turned to go to the closet.

 Chapter 18. Dont Play the Game that You Played the Last Time, I Dont Like It

    Chapter 18. Don''t y the Game that You yed the Last Time, I Don''t Like It


    It was her first time walking into this two-hundred and fifty square foot closet. Three walls were upied by wardrobes, with matching suits hanging neatly within them. She opened a random drawer, in which mens underwear were ced in rolls.


    Her face blushed slightly.


    Thesethere were too many colors, and she didnt know how to choose.


    Atst, she closed her eyes and grabbed one: a pair of red boxer shorts.


    When she came out, Nian Junting threw her a sideway nce while switching channels with the TV remote control, then said, I dont want you to give me the sponge bath, but theres no one else in this house. Dont overthink this, as I have no interest in you. And dont y the game that you yed thest time, I didnt like it.


    Luosang felt speechless, as she felt that he was the one who had been overthinking things this whole time.


    Forget it, hes the boss so he can say whatever he wants, she thought.


    She took a deep breath. Somehow, she managed to calm down and started seeing him as an ordinary patient.


    This time, she didnt dare to be even a little careless and wiped all distracting thoughts from her mind. She understood that she had to get used to this, because Steward Wu wouldnt be around for quite some time. In his absence, she would have to deal with this kind of work.


    While wiping his thighs, she again turned her face away. But soon, she sensed something strange.


    It was like a little tree suddenly became a towering one.


    As she wondered what was happening, she forgot the lesson learned fromst time and turned her head to look at where she was wiping.


    As soon as she saw it clearly, she was dumbfounded.


    Nian Junting had frozen as well.


    Last time his body only reacted slightly, but now he felt it stronger when she wiped his thighs. Everything happened too fast, and once he realized what had happened, his body was already out of control.


    He breathed deeply as he couldnt believe that he had truly recovered.


    However, he wished that he didnt recover at this very moment,


    He really didnt want this woman to witness his recovery.


    It was worth mentioning that he had told her to not overthink about this just now.


    Why are you staring at me again? Nian Junting used Luosang before she could say a word.


    Luosang woke up suddenly from the shock, only to find that the situation was even more awkward and astonishing thanst time.


    Hearing him yell, she hurriedly helped him put on clean shorts. However, the situation turned even more awkward after she put the shorts on him. Sorry, I didnt think that and, this pair of shorts are a little too tight, she stammered.


    She didnt manage to finish talking and blushed, her heart thumping.


    Nian Junting couldnt raise his head to look at her, but he could imagine how weird this whole thing was. He breathed deeply then said grimly, Have you forgotten what I said to you just now? Youre a woman, but why dont you know what shame is?


    Luosang was a little annoyed by his ridiculous usation. There were certain things that she hadnt experienced, but that didnt mean she knew nothing about them. So she couldnt help but contradict, That has nothing to do with me. I was just wiping you but who knows


    She meant that was his own problem.


    I havent had a sex life for long, but this is a natural physical reaction. This happened when Steward Wu gave me the sponge bath too, he said.


    Then you shouldnt me me for it, she said.


    Now, Nian Junting didnt know what to say.


    After remaining silent for a couple of seconds, he responded proudly, Anyway Its wrong for you to stare at my body.


    He would me her no matter what.


    Luosang again felt speechless, but she didnt want to continue arguing with him.

 Chapter 19. What Do You Want? I Dont Need You

    Chapter 19. What Do You Want? I Don''t Need You


    She silently helped Nian Junting to put on his pajama pants. Then she nicely asked him, Dont you feel a little ufortable like this?


    A little ufortable? He felt extremely ufortable.


    He raised his eyebrows and asked alertly, What do you want? I dont need you.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    Why on earth did he always feel that she was lusting after him?


    I mean Do you need me to bring you the magazines you told me to throw away this afternoon? She asked.


    Nian Juntings cold face turned even colder as he responded, What do you mean?


    I think you have to find a way to channel it, as staying like this isnt a solution. Dont worry, I wontugh at you. With a warm smile and tone, Luosang tried to let him know that she could understand him.


    Nina Junting fixed his eyes on her. His face seemed to be covered in frost. A few secondster, he let out two words in an exceptionally cold voice. Piss off


    Luosang immediately picked up the basin and left, as if being told to piss off was such a relief.


    Nian Juntingid stiffly on the bed alone and miserably found that he felt more and more ufortable. However, he had just yelled at Luosang, so now he couldnt convince himself to talk to her again.


    Luosang came out of the bathroom after pouring away the water. Seeing the painful look in Nian Juntings face, she turned her lips up slightly.


    He deserves this; hes been so determined to save his face, she thought.


    Having suffered through the night, Nian Junting woke up the next morning with two dark circles under his eyes. His handsome and nicely shaped face was so sour that he seemed to be on the verge of losing his temper. I need to go to thepany today. Go and find me some clothes, he said to Luosang.


    What kind of clothes do you like to wear? She asked.


    Luosang didnt know what to pick because he had way too many clothes in his closet.


    What do you think? Nian Junting threw the question back to her with a weird tone.


    Luosang didnt know how to proceed with this conversation.


    She had only been here for a couple of days, and he wore loose-fitting pajamas all the time, so how was she supposed to know about his preference for clothes?


    However, Nian Junting didnt seem to want to answer her question at all. Luosang had no choice but to silently turn and walk into his closet. Fortunately, she used to help her father and Yi Jingxi match their clothes. Atst, she picked a grey suit and an overcoat in the same color. She had considered picking this set of clothes before. It was the end of the year, so she assumed that he needed to go to thepany to meet with top managers or join a conference today. For such asions, he should dress in a formal and cool tone so that he will have a strong presence.


    A whileter, Nian Juntings cold eyes sparkled with surprise when he saw the clothes in Luosangs hands.


    He asked her to pick his clothes for no other purpose but to make it inconvenient for her, but to his surprise, she made good choices even though she only wore old-fashioned clothes herself.


    After putting on those clothes with Luosangs help, Nian Junting looked like an elegant and sessful man with a cold vibe, although he was sitting in a wheelchair. The clothes werefortable enough too.


    When he came downstairs, Sister Lans eyes glowed as she praised him. I havent seen Young Master dress so gorgeously for a long time, she said.


    Nian Junting nced at her coldly.


    However, the sharp-eyed Luosang noticed that the corners of his mouth twisted up slightly.


    He seems to be cold only on the outside, she thought.


    After breakfast, Luosang sat in Nian Juntings Rolls-Royce as she was heading to hispany with him. About half an hourter, the car drove into the parking lot of a skyscraper. Luosang had passed by this area when she was on a bus and heard that this area had the most listedpanies in the city and that the people who lived here were all white cors and top managers. She couldnt believe that Nian Junting actually owned such a giantpany.


    She couldnt help but nce at the man sitting beside her. His eyes were closed, as he was resting, and his handsome side profile seemed mysterious in the dim light of the parking lot.

 Chapter 20. He Couldnt Help but Glance at Her for A Couple of Times

    Chapter 20. He Couldn''t Help but nce at Her for A Couple of Times


    After the car was parked, Lu Kang helped Nian Junting get out of the car, and Luosang followed closely behind. They took the private elevator to the fifty-second floor, then headed straight to the conference room.


    The door opened, and sitting in the room were about twenty top managers in nice suits. Luosang stopped by the door, but Nian Junting suddenly crooked his finger toward her and said,e in and help me.


    Luosang had no other choice but to walk in. She tried her best to make herself invisible, but still felt countless gazesnding on her.


    Fortunately, she had been in such situations with her father before, so she took a deep breath, and started to calmly make tea for Nian Junting. Even Nian Junting couldnt help but look at her for a little longer, as he was surprised by herposure. After all, the people sat in this room were all intimidating personalities. He remembered that even Lu Kang was quite nervous when he followed him into this room for the first time.


    Mr. Nian, are you feeling better? someone asked with concern.


    Do I look like Im feeling better to you? Nian Junting knitted his brows and countered back. He made the man too embarrassed to continue talking.


    Alright, this is the year-end summary meeting. Lets save time and begin now, Nian Junting said.


    Once he finished this sentence, the atmosphere in the conference room turned more serious than before. Luosang felt that those top managers didnt even dare to breathe too loud. However, what impressed her more was the fact that, although Nian Junting had been talking with a t tone, every single sentence he said pointed out an essential problem. No wonder he could build a greatpany at such a young age.


    Suddenly, Nian Junting asked with a cold voice, I have a question. Why dont I see that sum of money from Gao Jian? and then the conference room fell silent.


    A long whileter, Yang Fan from the finance department stuttered to exin, Gao Jian has been suffering losses in thetter half of the year. Weve sent people to ask for the money a few times, but their CEO is in the hospital now. Their money has been used for patching up holes. If we push them harder now, that old man might really die


    Nian Junting sneered, veins throbbing in his temples as he said, Were running apany, not a charity. Do you know that otherrgepanies have invested Gao Jian too? They want profits at the end of the year, and if you dont give them money, theyll give you trouble. Who can patch this hole then? The others are all waiting for the money toe so that they can have a happy New Year. If he doesnt give his money but threaten to jump from the top of this building, will you take the responsibility?


    Yan Fan blushed, remained silent.


    Before getting off work today, I want you to collect the money no matter what. Tomorrow is the 29th, thest workday of the year. I think you all understand that you wont be able to have a happy New Year if the money isnt in our shareholders ounts on time, demanded Nian Junting. After throwing out thisst word with a frosty tone, Nian Junting ended the meeting.


    It was eleven oclock in the morning, and Luosang stood in a bright luxurious office. She could see the hanging garden covered in nts, the tennis court, and the swimming pool through the window.


    Building a skyscraper like this must cost hundreds of millions.


    Luosang remembered that thepany owned by the Xu Family was far less luxurious.


    She couldnt help but to look at the young and handsome Nian Junting again, who was focused on all kinds of forms at the moment. She kept looking at him from the corner of her eyes until Xiao Xi elegantly walked in through the carved door.


    Youre sitting in a wheelchair, yet youre working in thepany, he said.


    As the deputy general manager, you didnt attend the year-end summary meeting, and yourete to work. If we relied on you, thepany would have tanked long ago, said Nian Junting as he red at him with a dark face. Nian Junting continued, If I werent here, those idiots would have lost Gao Jians money.


    Xiao Si dragged himself a chair to sit down and said, Thats not their fault. That old man Gao Jian is too sneaky, and its a special case. Luosang poured him a cup of tea. He picked up the cup and took a sip, then praised, Wow, sister, I didnt know that carers could make nice tea too.

 Chapter 21. Mr. Nian, Yi Jingxi From the Xu Group Asked to See You

    Chapter 21. Mr. Nian, Yi Jingxi From the Xu Group Asked to See You


    Hearing Xiao Si, Nian Junting nced at Luosang silently.


    The way she made tea seemed to be quite skillful indeed. Have you learned how to make tea before? He asked.


    Luosang smiled and responded with, The older you get, the more you know.


    Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, I dont think you know anything besides eating. And a littlepliment can make you so proud. If you are really so capable, why did you be a leftoverdy?


    Lousang shut her mouth, speechless. She couldnt understand why Nian Junting saw her as someone who knew nothing but how to eat.


    Xiao Si gave him a nce and said, Tingting, can you not say such mean things? Lets talk about the business. Later, a man wille over to discuss a n. Please meet him for my sake. One of my good friends insisted on introducing him to me, so lets just see him as a new friend.


    Who? asked Nian Junting.


    Yi Jingxi, the president of Xu Group.


    Bang!


    Luosang was turning back to refill the kettle, but upon hearing that name, she forgot to watch her feet and stumbled over a chair, almost falling to the ground. After regaining her bnce with quite a bit of effort, she could hear nothing but a buzzing noise from her head, until Nian Juntings angry yell woke her up suddenly.


    Why are you so careless? He said.


    Im Im sorry, Luosang apologized. She was afraid that the others might detect her emotion, so she didnt dare raise her head, and instead turned around to turn on the water cooler and refill the kettle.


    Only she knew that her hands were shaking.


    She really didnt expect to hear Yi Jingxis name again after she came to a strange city, or even run into him.


    She had once loved that man so much for so long. She wanted to give him her heart and soul. But now, her heart was filled with nothing but hatred when she heard his name. She wanted to cut his chest open with a knife to see his heart and ask him why he treated her as he did.


    However, now was definitely not the right time for her to see him again.


    At that moment, Nian Juntings scornful voice was heard again. Yi Jingxi? Is he the man you mentioned thest time who relied on a woman to climb up and snatched the stake of Xu Pictures?


    Dont say that, said Xiao Si. We know that that man is shrewd, but what businessman isnt dark-minded? Do you remember the half-developed,rge, outdoor film studio in the River East that isying as waste because the capital chain is broken? Yi Jingxi took it over, but his fund is insufficient. So he wants to work with us. We can be a shareholder, or find a few investors to fund the project. Well get fifteen percent ofmission, which is quite considerable. And the case is very feasible.


    Luosang paused. She had heard about therge outdoor film studio in River East. It was said that the film studio cost billions. She didnt think that Yi Jingxi had so much money to take it over. She underestimated him, and she didnt know how many more secrets he had kept from her. She remembered that when she first met him, he was just an ordinary man who was capable, but had no distinguished family background.


    If the outdoor film studio seeds, Yi Jingxi would be a highly influential person in the entire film industry.


    Nian Junting carelessly twisted his thin lips and said, Em, this man, Yi Jingxi, is really ambitious. It seems that controlling the Xu Group isnt enough for him, so he wants to build arge-scale outdoor film studio for filming and for tourism. Im afraid hes gonna rule the entertainment circle one day.


    Thats why I said this case is worth talking about, said Xiao Si.


    Lu Kang knocked the door, then walked in and said, Mr. Nian, Mr. Yi from the Xu Group is downstairs. He asked to see you, and he said that he has an appointment with Mr. Xiao.


    Tell him toe up, said Nian Junting tly.


    Luoangs heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously lowered her head to look at her clothing. It wasnt time for her to meet Yi Jingxi again, and she didnt want him to see her like this.

 Chapter 22. That Girl Looks Like Luosang From Behind

    Chapter 22. That Girl Looks Like Luosang From Behind


    She hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, turned back and said, Mr. Nian, since youre discussing a case, I think I should leave for now.


    Why do you have to leave? I wont agree to that case anyway, said Nian Junting carelessly while knocking the table with his slender fingers.


    Luosang paused. Xiao Si widened his eyes and said, Are you crazy? Turn down such a profitable case?


    Im notcking money, said Nian Junting with a deep andzy voice, I dont appreciate people like Yi Jingxi. He took advantage of his fiancee and mercilessly kicked her away after getting what he wanted. Do you really think he will help you make a fortune easily? Ive never met him, but Id guess that he is definitely a snake. You know Ive always disliked that kind of person. I only agreed to see him because of you.


    Xiao Si was a little speechless, but he knew that Nian Junting meant what he said. Youre right, but those Xu Family people got what they deserved. That old man in their family molested his students at such an old age, so disgusting, he said.


    Nian Junting snorted and said, Thats disgusting indeed, but it doesnt mean that Yi Jingxi has clean hands. Forget it, I dont intend to upload justice, I just dont appreciate people like him.


    The afternoon sunlight poured on Nian Juntings beautifully shaped face, and emphasized his proudness and elegance. It all seemed to be a part of his nature as the sun brightened his face, making it very pleasant to look at.


    Luosang stared at him for a few seconds, and then, her calm heart rippled.


    Ever since her father went to prison, all of her family and friends left her and tried everything to avoid her. Many of them were still cursing her father. Long articles were published on all kinds of news media to praise Yi Jingxi for his integrity, for cing righteousness over family loyalty, but no one saw the dirtiness in that mans heart.


    Without the Xu Family, without the failure of Luosangs father, and without taking away everything she had, how could Yi Jingxi have ever achieved his sess?


    If Luosang hadnt put in a good word for him in front of her father, Xu Zheng Xuan, then he wouldnt even have had a tform to start his career.


    The arrogant and picky Nian Junting was the only one who said something like that about him. Clearly, although he was standing on the top of the business world, he still had a clean conscience and integrity. There werent many people in the world like him.


    Suddenly, Luosang felt that Nian Junting had be much more appeble in her eyes. At least, he was more real than those hypocrites.


    Mr. Nian, I need to go to the bathroom, Luosang said, abruptly interrupting Nian Juntings conversation with Xiao Si.


    Nian Junting stared at her with displeasure.


    It may take a while, Luosang added, showing an embarrassed look.


    Nian Juntings face darkened immediately.


    Go, go, Xiao Si waved his hand and said, Shes been with you all day and didnt even get the convenience to go to the bathroom. Now Im with you, dont worry.


    Thank you, Mr. Xiao, Luosang thanked Xiao Si, then lowered her head and quickly walked out of the office.


    Not long after she left, Yi Jingxi, well-dressed with a pressed suit stepped out of the elevator. He saw a familiar figure disappearing at the end of the corridor.


    He narrowed his eyes and thought that was an illusion.


    Why did that girl look so much like Xu Luosang? But she had no reason to show up in an upper floor of the building of Sheng Ting Investment.


    Mr. Yi, whats wrong? asked Lu Kang. He was showing him the way, when he noticed Yi Jingxi suddenly pause.


    Nothing, Yi Jingxi shook his head, cleared his mind then walked into the CEOs office.


    Luosang spent five minutes in the bathroom, then saw Lu Kang doing his work in the secretarial pool when she got out. After being informed that Nian Juntings meeting with Yi Jingxi wasnt over yet, she asked Lu Kang, It seems to be inappropriate for me to go in now; can I stay in the reception room for a while?

 Chapter 23. You Must Find Her

    Chapter 23. You Must Find Her


    Of course you can. Ill let you know when Mr. Yi leaves, the busy Lu Kang nodded.


    The reception room was next to the elevator. Luosang put down the window shade after getting in so no one would see her from the outside. She waited for thirty minutes until she heard the very familiar sounds of footstepsing from outside. Before, she had heard this same rhythm countless times in her bedroom, and every time, she would excitedly open the door to wee the owner of it.


    But now her heart was thumping, and her nerves were as tense as a pulled bow so much so that she felt it hard to breathe.


    Mr. Yi, every time we mention the important things, Nian Junting changes the topic. He doesnt seem to want to work with us, the man said with a lowered voice. Still, Luosang recognized that familiar voice immediately. His name was Zeng Zhun, and he was Nian Juntings junior fellow student who used to follow him around. It seemed that he had be Yi Jingxis right hand man now.


    I know. Yi Jingxis voice was as deep as the sound of a cello; calm and nd. Nian Junting is a proud and arrogant man. Itll be good if we can work with him, but if we cant, well have no way to change that.


    Its not a big deal as we can always find other investmentpanies. Its not like this is the only one in the world, Zeng Zhun said and snorted.


    Em, didnt you mention that Luosang is in Xia City? Youve been trying to find her all this time, but why havent I heard anything about her yet? Yi Jingxi responded coldly.


    No, I havent found her. I think that maybe she changed her name, said Zeng Zhun.


    In any case, you must find her, even if you need to search the whole city, said Yi Jingxi.


    The voices of these two men fadedpletely as the elevator bell sounded.


    Luosang froze. Her body was like a statue. She didnt think that Yi Jingxi would still be looking for her. She had nothing now. He had taken thepany, ruined her study and career. As he had said, she was no longer in that morous circle because Zhong Yi was there now. But then why was he still trying to find her? He had be a millionaire who had a beautiful girlfriend; wasnt that enough for him? What else did he want? Did he still feel that he hadnt tortured Luosang enough?


    Luosang remembered that after her father went to prison, Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi often showed up around her to make fun of her. They took delight in taunting her. Were they still nning to continue doing that?


    Merely thinking about that made her tremble.


    Lu Kang walked in abruptly and said, Ms. Luosang, the guests have left. Mr. Nian is calling for you.


    Okay. Luosang calmed herself down, then hurriedly walked toward the office. Anyhow, staying with Nian Junting seemed to be the safest way for her to get through this period.


    Seeing her show up, Nian Junting scoffed, You spent a really long time in the bathroom. I thought you fell in the toilet.


    Luosang didnt respond. Xiao Si stood up to defend her by saying to Nian Junting, I cant stand you. She waited outside instead ofing in to interrupt our meeting. I think shes quite polite. Shes a nice carer, and you should be content. Im leaving. I dont want to spend more time with someone as grumpy as you.


    It was one oclock in the afternoon when they returned to the vi. Nian Junting wasnt hungry, but Luosang was starving. Finally, she sat by the dinner table with a bowl and a pair of chopsticks in her hands. She enjoyed the meal.


    Nian Junting stared at her, brows knitted. He believed that Luosang had been acting more and more mannerlessly ever since Murong Cheng said that she could have meals with him. Now, he wanted to criticize her for something, but found that even though she was eating fast, she hadnt made any noise through chewing and was holding the bowl and chopsticks quite properly. In addition, she picked the food with her chopsticks in a very good manner. In fact, her table manner was just as good as those of the many girls from eminent families that he had seen.


    Luosang sensed the gaze which was fixed on her, so she raised her head and identally looked into his eyes. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts.


    After what happened earlier today, Luosang had a better impression of him. She had seen many rich people from wealthy families, but all of them were so arrogant, believing that they stood high above the masses. Some of those people just loafed about with no proper things to do. Nian Junting wasnt like any of them. He was proud, but righteous, and outstandingly capable at work.

 Chapter 24. Sorry, Shes Mine Now

    Chapter 24. Sorry, She''s Mine Now


    Im sorry. Im just too hungry, said Luosang.


    Nian Juntings lips curled down with dislike as he said, Youre a woman, but you eat like a starved prisoner. Any man would be frightened by your poor table manners.


    Luosang paused. She remembered that her table manners were quite alright.


    Sister Lan who stood aside couldnt help but defend her, Young Master, if Luosangs table manners are poor, we can all die.


    Who told you to speak? shouted Nian Junting. He pulled a long face and said, Sister Lan, do you want your year-end bonus or not?


    Sister Lan rubbed her apron and responded, Speaking of year-end bonus, Young Master, I leave for the New Year tomorrow. My sons and daughter-inws are all waiting for me at home. But Ill be back the day after the Lunar New Years day. Are you going back to the family house tomorrow?


    I need to go to the hospital tomorrow, for physical therapy, so Ill head to the family house the day after that, said Nian Junting, frowning tightly. Who will cook my dinner after you left? he asked.


    Ill get the ingredients ready, and Luosang can cook for you, said Sister Lan. She thought for a moment and said, Young Master, Luosang can cook very well.


    No, the things she cooks are disgusting, said Nian Junting, face filled with distaste.


    Luosang wiped her mouth, smiled abruptly and said, I feel lucky that you think I cant cook well. Because then, I dont need to take care of you and cook for you at the same time. That would be exhausting.


    Nian Junting immediately put down his chopsticks and sneered while saying, Yeah, I pay you so well every day, but your only task is to take care of me, thats so unfair. Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for all my meals after Sister Lan leaves. And youll have to do it ording to Sister Lans standards: six dishes and one soup, for every meal.


    Luosang widened her eyes and showed a pained look when she heard him.


    Seeing that, Nian Junting suddenly felt delighted. He turned his thin lips up, but failed to notice the faint smile which shed across Luosangs face.


    After lunch, Luosang helped Sister Lan to tidy up. In the kitchen, Sister Lan winked at Luosang andughed, You did that on purpose just now, didnt you?


    Luosang smiled.


    Young Master can be childish sometimes. He just likes to disagree with everything that the others say, said Sister Lan. She smiled and sighed while saying, But, Ill have to leave the works to you. Ill prepared all the ingredients, and you only need to stir-fry them tomorrow.


    Thank you, Sister Lan, Luosang looked at Sister Lans warm, smiling chubby face while responding.


    The next day, Sister Lan left for home after preparing breakfast. Lu Kang arrived at the vi half-past nine, and then they all headed to the hospital.


    The physical therapy was schedule for half an hour. Luosang sat outside the physiotherapy room, ying a game on her phone while waiting. Doctor Gu from the urology department passed by, and his eyes glowed when he spotted Luosang. Luosang, I havent seen you for so long. I heard from Sister Miao that you went to work for Young Master Nian as his carer, are you doing well? he cried.


    Im good, said Luosang as she hurriedly stood up. Doctor Gu helped her with many difficult situations when she was taking care of some patients in this hospital, so she was grateful to him. Doctor Gu, arent you leaving for New Year holiday? she asked.


    We doctors dont have holidays, said Doctor Gu smilingly, Especially at the end of the year. Many people are returning from other cities and the highways are all jammed. Car idents are happening endlessly. The hospital is overcrowded now, but Ill take the day off on Lunar New Years day. I heard that a big movie will be released that day, do you have time to watch it together?


    At this moment, Nian Junting was wheeled out of the physiotherapy room by Lu Kang. He saw a round-faced doctor wearing an old-fashioned pair of sses and a white coat, standing in front of Luosang, inviting her to see a movie.


    He raised her thick eyebrows and said to the doctor, Sorry, shes mine now.

 Chapter 25. Luosang Protects Him Like a Hen Protects Her Chicks

    Chapter 25. Luosang Protects Him Like a Hen Protects Her Chicks


    Doctor Gu paused, and Luosang felt speechless.


    Does he have to make it sound so strange? she wondered.


    This is the patient Ive been taking care oftely. Hell need me until hes fully recovered, she exined to Doctor Gu.


    Doctor Gu sighed in relief after hearing Luosang.


    Alright then, lets wait until you have time. Ill call you. As Nian Junting looked quite difficult to get along with, he only nodded to Luosang before leaving.


    After that, Nian Junting squinted at Luosang with a meaningful, faint smile, and said, You and that fatty looked like a great couple when you were standing together. Thats right, you two even look a little simr, as youre both wearing old-fashioned sses. But isnt working in the urology department a little disgusting?


    As a carer, Luosang often needed to visit the hospital, so she knew that doctors had been doing tough work. Therefore, she couldnt help but retort when she heard Nian Junting speak so sarcastically.


    Mr. Nian, working in the urology department may sound not good, but eighty percent of all people will need to see urologists at some points of their lives. If you ever suffer a urinary disease in the future, please remember to endure it instead of going to see a urologist.


    Nian Juntingughed and responded, I just said a few things about the fatty, do you really need to defend him so seriously? Look at you, so easily offended.


    Doctor Gu and I are just friends. Luosang sighed and said, Mr. Nian, lets go back. I still have to cook your lunch after we get back.


    Nian Junting stared at her for a little while then said, Em.


    Luosang followed his wheelchair. However, after making two steps forward, she heard Nian Junting add, That fatty is in-looking. He looks old, and his nose is t. I think you should avoid looking at me too much from now on, because youll find that no other man is as good-looking as me when youre no longer around me, and I worry it might make it more difficult for you to get married, which would be bad.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    She had never met someone so narcissistic and shameless.


    While heading to the hospital gate, Lu Kang called the chauffeur and told him to drive the car over from the parking lot. When they came down to the ground floor, Nian Junting suddenly frowned and said, I left my phone in the physiotherapy room.


    Ill go get it. Ms. Luosang, please wheel Mr. Nian to the car, Lu Kang said to Luosang before heading back quickly.


    The eye-catching Rolls-Royce was already parked under a tree as they came to the hospital gate. However, when Luosang wheeled Nian Juntings chair to the car, a mob of people suddenly rushed to them.


    You evil capitalist! Profiteers! You should die! While yelling, the bald man in the front poured arge bucket of an unknown liquid at Nian Junting.


    Watch out! Luosang knew that Nian Junting couldnt move his body fast enough, so without thinking, she stood before him and let the liquid pour down on her hair, face, and body.


    The stench made her want to throw up.


    A few drops of the liquid sshed on Nian Juntings clothes, so he immediately figured out what it was.


    A trace of surprise shed across his eyes, which were widened because of anger. He didnt expect Luosang to stand before him. He knew that he couldnt dodge and had prepared himself for that already.


    Failing to pour the liquid on Nian Junting, the bald man raised the bucket to hit him. The people behind the bald man all rushed up, trying to push Nian Junting or throw things at him.


    Rotten eggs and all kinds of leftover foods were thrown at him and Luosang.


    His wheelchair was shaken violently, while Luosang shielded him firmly like a hen protecting its chicks. The bucket fell on her shoulder, and caused great pain.


    What are you doing? The driver got out of the car as soon as he could to try to push the people away.


    However, it was arge group of aggressive and violent people, and the driver could only hold off a few of them. However, he managed to give Luosang some time to open the car door, lift Nian Junting up, and directly put him into the backseat.


    Dont you run! The nearest ferocious man rushed over, grabbed Luosangs hair, and dragged her out of the car.

 Chapter 26. You Use A Coat Which Cost Tens of Thousands As A Seat Cushion?

    Chapter 26. You Use A Coat Which Cost Tens of Thousands As A Seat Cushion?


    Luosang moaned in pain. She tried to fight through the pain, shut the car door hurriedly, and guarded it to prevent those people from opening it.


    In the car, Nian Junting angrily and anxiously looked out of the window. Luosangs face and body were pressed against the car, but she clenched her teeth and remained silent without moving an inch. No matter how hard those people pulled her clothes and hair, she kept hanging on. Her arms clung to the car, and her eyes showed immovable determination.


    Luosang, open the door, shouted Nian Junting; he was enraged.


    All his life, he was the one who protected people, but now, he was actually being protected by a woman.


    A feeling of powerlessness surged from the bottom of his heart.


    He wanted to move his body, but a sharp pain from his spine prevented him from doing that.


    Fortunately, Lu Kang came over quickly. Once Luosang felt that she couldnt hang on anymore, Lu Kang had rushed over and pushed away a few of the attackers. The hospital security guards arrived at the same time.


    Seeing this situation, the people ran away immediately from a side entrance of the hospital.


    Mr. Nian, are you okay? asked Lu Kang as he opened the car door. He saw am extremely angry look in Nian Juntings eyes.


    Check Luosang, said Nian Junting with a tense face, surprising Lu Kang who thought that he was gonna yell at him.


    I Im alright, said Luosang, standing about a meter away from the car and rubbing her scalp, face ghastly pale. She felt that her entire body aching, and felt intolerably stinky. She stammered, Those people didnt use any weapons, they just pulled my hair. Its alright.


    Alright? said Nian Junting as his brows twitched. The look in his eyes turned darker and darker as he said, Do you see yourself as a woman at all? Who told you to y hero in that kind of situation? There were so many people, didnt you think that you might die? And that bucket of urine! How could you stand before me even before you figure out what it was? What if it was sulfuric acid? Dont you want to get married one day?


    Luosang was suffering severe pain, but Nian Junting gave her a full dressing down. She felt wronged, so she kept her mouth shut and didnt say anything.


    Lu Kang nced at her, then at his boss, and then sighed silently.


    Boss, I know you mean to concerned about her, but do you have to make the caring words sound so mean? Not everyone knows you as well as I do, thought Lu Kang.


    Call the police. Call the police now! Nian Junting shouted. He really couldnt restrain his anger at the moment. Find those scums no matter how! I want a result before it gets dark, he yelled.


    Will do, will do, Lu Kang nodded while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. After that, he turned to Luosang and said, Miss Luosang, do you need a checkup in the hospital?


    No, Im good. These are just some minor injuries. Adhesive bandages will solve the problem. While responding, Luosang sniffed at her own hand and the smell made her feel sick. Ill take a taxi back to the vi; I really stink, she said.


    Who told you to take a taxi? Are you rich? Get in the car now. Im going back for a shower too. You can take the front seat, said Nian Junting. The thought that even a few drops of urine had sshed on him, made him want to scrub his skin off. He turned to Lu Kang and continued, Lu Kang, Ill leave the rest to you. Its New Year now, so damn unlucky! And Lu Kang, give her my coat.


    An expensive, customized wind coat was handed to Luosang, and made her feel extremely ttered. Through these days spent with Nian Junting, she had learned that he was a clean freak. However, under the current circumstances, he not only let her sit in his car, but also gave her his coat. How inconceivable!


    But, why did he give her his coat?


    Luosang struggled shortly, then spread the coat on the front seat and carefully sat on it.


    Lu Kang was speechless.


    Nian Juntings lips twitched as he said, My coat cost hundreds of thousands of dors, but youre going to use it as a seat cushion?

 Chapter 27. Why Didnt You Tell Me Earlier that You Got Injured so Badly?

    Chapter 27. Why Didn''t You Tell Me Earlier that You Got Injured so Badly?


    Luosang blinked in confusion and asked, Isnt that what you want? This seat is very expensive, so I thought you gave me the coat so that I dont soil it.


    Nian Junting sighed speechlessly while staring at the knitted shirt resting against her skin. The coat was for her to wear.


    He decided not to exin, as he assumed that no man had ever offered her a coat in her life.


    However, he discovered that Luosang was actually busty. Normally, she only wore loose-fitting clothes, so he had never noticed her body shape.


    He had no time to think about that though. After the doors were closed, the car was filled with the foul smell of urine. Nian Junting knitted his brows and hurriedly told the chauffeur to open the window.


    Should I just get out of the car? Luosang felt a little ufortable sitting in the car, especially after she was told that the coat under her butt was worth tens of thousands. He wont let me pay for this coat, will he? She wondered.


    Shut up, Nian Junting responded to her coldly, then said to the chauffeur, Drive faster.


    About forty minutester, they arrived at the vi. Luosang pulled the coat off of the seat and ran into the vi to take a shower.


    Looking at her back, Nian Junting finally let out the breath he had been trying to hold in the whole time, then coldly said to the chauffeur, Wash the car inside and out. Throw away the seat cushions and the floor mats.


    Will do, the chauffeur responded.


    Luosang took a shower as quickly as she could, but still spent fifty minutes in the bathroom. She scrubbed her skin red, yet she still felt disgusting.


    However, she didnt dare take longer, as she still had to cook Nian Juntings lunch.


    Aftering out of the bathroom, she found that Nian Junting seemed to have taken a shower as well because his hair was half-dried, and he was wearing clean pajamas.


    Hearing Luosangs footsteps, Nian Junting turned back to look at her. His pupils shrank when he saw her, but he failed to notice it.


    Luosang had changed into a maroon sweater, and her wet hair hung freely over her shoulders. Her skin was white and tender; it reminded Nian Junting of the steam bread just out of the steamer.


    He suddenly felt hungry; maybe it was because it was lunchtime.


    Seeing that Doctor Han was sitting on the couch, Luosang hurriedly greeted, Nice to see you, Doctor Han. Let me make you some tea.


    Doctor Han raised a hand to stop her. No need. Im here to check on you.


    Luosang eyed Nian Junting confusedly. The doctor wouldnt show up for no reason, meaning Nian Junting had probably called him. But how could he be so nice?


    We need to treat your injuries in a timely fashion. I dont want you toe to me forpensation when they get worse, said Nian Junting. He felt a little ufortable under her gaze, so he then said to Doctor Han coldly, Doctor Han, check her shoulder. Earlier, I saw a bucket hit her there.


    Luosang was surprised again, as she didnt think that he would notice under such a chaotic situation.


    Ms. Luosang, can you please tell me where the injury is? Can you pull down your sweater to show me? Doctor Han asked, gently and politely.


    Luosang hesitated slightly, then pulled the sweater near her right shoulder slightly down.


    As her nicely shaped shoulder was exposed, Doctor Han frowned. Apart from therge bruise, her shoulder was also covered in dark-red scratches.


    Nian Junting saw it too. His face darkened immediately as he said, Why didnt you tell me earlier that youre injured so badly?


    These are just bruises and scratches, said Luosang carelessly.


    Nian Junting paused. He didnt know what to say. Other women would have started weeping long ago if they suffered the same injuries.


    Do rtively older women all need to live like men? He wondered.


    Han Ming, apply medicines to her wounds. Dont leave scars on her skin, said Nian Junting. She hasnt gotten married yet. Its already difficult for someone like her to get married, and it will be even harder if she has scars. Itll be troublesome if she wants me to take responsibility for that.


    Luosang was quite touched when she heard the first sentence he had said, but after that


    She really didnt know what to say.

 Chapter 28. You Are so Manly!

    Chapter 28. You Are so Manly!


    Han Ming felt speechless as well.


    He remembered that the day before yesterday, Nian Junting excitedly told him that his erectile dysfunction was gone for good after some woman touched him.


    After the medicine was applied, Luosang felt a nice coolness on her wounds, which already felt less painful than before. Seeing that Doctor Han was packing his things and preparing to leave, she hurriedly said, Doctor Han, why dont you stay for lunch?


    She regretted it immediately after saying this, as she realized that this wasnt her home and she had no right to invite a guest to stay for lunch.


    She waited for Nian Juntings taunt, but he said coldly, Make what lunch? Youre injured! Ill call a restaurant and ask them to deliver food.


    Some of the food from restaurants are unhygienic. Ill just cook for you. Besides, Sister Lan has prepared all the ingredients, so I only need to stir-fry them. It wont take too long, replied Luosang. She really didnt want to waste those ingredients, so she hurriedly headed to the kitchen after saying that.


    Before walking into the kitchen, she turned back to nce at the man in the wheelchair. From her angle, his side profile was as beautifully shaped as an art piece, with his full forehead and straight nose. However, his knitted brows radiated a grim coldness.


    After what happened today, Luosang felt that she had seen him in a different light.


    Some people simply looked hard to get along with, but behind their indifference was carefulness and gentleness.


    Because of her experience with the hypocritical Yi Jingxi, Luosang now felt that people like Nian Junting were quite rare.


    Luosang prepared five dishes and a soup in about half an hour.


    When she went to serve the dishes, Doctor Han had left already.


    After setting the table, she wheeled Nian Juntings chair to the table and served him with a bowl of rice and asked, Mr. Nian, which dish would you like to taste first?


    Nian Junting looked at the dishes on the table expressionlessly, but was very surprised in fact. He didnt want to admit that the stir-fried shredded potatoes she madest time werent bad, yet he couldnt help but to be appetized by all these dishes she made. Every dish looked delicious and smelled appetizing.


    But of course, he could never admit that. However, since she protected him today, he decided not to criticize her.


    Fish, he said.


    Through these days spent with Nian Junting, Luosang had learned that he liked fish dishes.


    She picked up a piece of fish with a pair of chopsticks, and then lowered her head to carefully pick the bones out for him.


    Her shiny ck hair fell from behind her ears, and formed a sharp contrast with her pink lips.


    Nian Junting felt bored, so he looked at her. He suddenly discovered how full her lips were. Those lips turned up slightly while pressed together, and looked like fresh juicy cherries. It made him even want to take a bite of them.


    He suddenly recalled that he once heard from Xiao Si that sucking the full lips of a woman felt like sucking jelly: too good to stop.


    With that thought in his mind, Nian Junting felt extremely ufortable.


    He believed something must be wrong with him, as he had been sex-starved for too long.


    However, wasnt that strange for a thirty-year-old woman to have such a beautiful lip color without wearing any lipstick?


    All of a sudden, a silvery voice was heard from the outside. Luosang raised her head to see a beautiful girl in police uniform rush in like a gust of wind, shouting, Brother, my dear brother, Im here to see you! I heard that someone tried to pour a bucket of piss on you today! My boss sent me here to take a witness statement.


    Nian Juntings face darkened. Nian Xi abruptly fixed her eyes on Luosang, and then her eyes glowed as she rushed over excitedly and grabbed Luosangs hands. She said, Are you Sister Luosang? My mom has talked about you! Ive seen the surveince video in the hospital today and saw what happened. My god, you were so brave! You handled that dangerous situation so calmly, and actually carried my brother and threw him into the car. Youre so manly! At that moment, for the first time, I felt like my brother was like a little bird needing protection

 Chapter 29. That is A Deadly Humiliation to A Man

    Chapter 29. That is A Deadly Humiliation to A Man


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. In the meantime, she had sensed a bone-piercing coldness from the man beside her.


    Nian Xi, shut your mouth! Nian Junting yelled. He was so angry that he even wanted to thrust Nian Xi back into their mothers womb.


    What are you talking about, you bad little girl? heined quietly.


    Luosang carried him upHe was like a bird which needed protection


    That was a deadly humiliation to a man. Say one more word, and Ill let the police station fire you, believe it or not, he threatened his sister.


    Brother, isnt that too much? I came here in such a hurry because Im worried about you! Nian Xi pouted, but didnt dare continue.


    Nian Junting sighed and responded with, Yeah? Why havent I heard you say one word to console me since you came in? He felt that his little sister was exactly like his mother, and that those two women would make him angry enough to kill himself sooner orter.


    Dont say that. Im just so excited to meet my new idol, said Nian Xi while ncing at Luosang with admiration.


    Luosang didnt know what to say, as she felt that it was not exactly a good thing for a woman to be called manly.


    She didnt know that Nian Junting had a younger sister who was a policewoman.


    Ms. Nian, have you caught the people who attacked Mr. Nian this morning? Who are they? She asked.


    Speaking of which, brother, you should really thank me. For your safety, I spent an unprecedented amount of effort and found the people behind the whole thing in a mere two hours, said Nian Xi proudly. I found out that the man who poured the piss on Sister Luosang works in a building site that belongs to Gao Jian. Weve hunted him down already. ording to him, he and his colleagues didnt receive their sries at the end of the year, and heard that it was because yourpany took their money and even sent their boss to the hospital. They believe that theirpany is on the verge of bankruptcy because of you, and they might not be able to get their sries for thetter half of this year. They were so angry, so they decided to find you. That man has been in prison before, so he fears nothing. The other people were all encouraged by him.


    Nian Junting didnt seem too be surprised when hearing his sister. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, Great. Gao Shengyuan just cant stay peaceful even when hes in the hospital. Since hes taken the heartless move, I dont need to be nice to him anymore.


    Looking at the grim look in her brothers face, Nian Xi understood that he was about to do something awful to his enemy, so she said soft heartedly, Brother, why dont you just teach them a lesson, and then let it go? I heard that the owner of Gao Jian is quite old and is sick in the hospital. In fact, if anything happens to him, his employees will be the only ones who will really suffer.


    What do you know? Nian Juntings voice was cold. I invested in Gao Jian singlehandedly, and I am the reason they have achieved what they have today. Dont I know how much money Gao Shengyuan has? He just doesnt want to spend it. He wants to save it for his children whore abroad. Earlier this year, I found out that he has been transferringrge sums of money overseas. Hes nning on leaving. He never thought about giving the shareholders the profits that they deserve, or paying his employees. He just wants to pass the buck. Now hes desperate, so he wants to throw the me on me. I was too nice to him. Ive paid him my respect, but he didnt want it. He yed a dirty trick with me and thought me an idiot.


    Luosang, get my phone, he then said to Luosang.


    Luosang paused in surprise when hearing him. Yesterday, at the meeting, she felt that Nian Junting acted a lot like a capitalist, but, she could understand it, as all investors value their own profits. However, today, she learned that he had shown his mercy indeed.


    She had seen too many entrepreneurs these years. Some of them refused to pay their employees, but took the money and fled abroad with their families as their businesses failed. They lived a happy and safe life overseas, but the poor people who worked hard for them suffered the consequences.


    Nian Junting called Lu Kang and said to him, Spread Gao Shengyuans personal ounts and his room number at the hospital right now. Let Gao Jians employees know; the sooner the better. Inform the shareholders that Gao Shengyuan has falsified thepany ounts and attempted to pocket the profit without sharing it with anyone else. When his employees go to him for an exnation, you should send some people to go with them. Tell them to bring a few buckets of shit and piss; they better make him eat those.

 Chapter 30. Even The Nicest Person Can Get Angry Too

    Chapter 30. Even The Nicest Person Can Get Angry Too


    When he was finished talking, Nian Junting angrily hung up the phone and murmured, No one has ever dared to disrespect me all my life, but today, someone actually tried to pour piss on me. Theyre ying with fire.


    Nian Xi swallowed and said carefully, Brother, take it easy. It wasnt poured on you, was it


    Before she could finish her words, Nian Junting nced at her with dagger eyes and snapped, It wasnt poured on me, but it was poured on my pet. That was like a p my face.


    Pet


    Suddenly, Luosang didnt want to feed him anymore. So, she smilingly put down his bowl and chopstick and said, So pets can feed people? Then how about I go to the backyard and bring Xiaosi here to feed you?


    She kindly risked her own safety to save him, and to repay her he called her his pet? She was a nice person, but even the nicest person could get angry at some point.


    How dare you taunt me? countered Nian Junting as he widened his eyes. Even the air temperature around them dropped.


    Luosang looked him straight in the eyes and innocently said, I didnt. You said that yourself, didnt you?


    We should also let Xiaosi give you sponge baths from now on, she thought.


    Nian Juntings face darkened immediately.


    This woman is so ungrateful. Countless people would want to be my pet but can not. Dont you know how good Xiaosis diet is? I spend hundreds on each of his meals, and thousands on all of his clothes he thought.


    He didnt like Luosang before. Therefore, she wouldnt have the honor to be called pet by him if she didnt risk her own safety to save him today.


    Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Nian Xi coughed and said, Brother, you shouldnt say that. Sister Luosang isnt your bodyguard, yet she kindly protected you. How can you call her pet? To be honest, under that kind of situation  I mean arge bucket of piss pouring over  Id run away even though Im your sister. Its just too gross.


    Nian Junting was speechless.


    He began to doubt if Nian Xi was really his sister.


    Sister Luosang, lets just ignore him and eat. Ive been busy the whole morning and didnt get to have lunch. Im starving, Nian Xi said as she quickly got herself a bowl of rice. After two bites, she gave Luosang a thumbs up and mumbled to her, Sister Luosang, this fish is delicious. I didnt know you cook so well. Eat, ignore him.


    While speaking, she kept putting food in Luosangs rice bowl.


    Luosang was indeed hungry, so she pretended not to see the angry look in Nian Juntings eyes, and started to leisurely eat.


    She was just a carer, but she had dignity too. Plus, she wasnt afraid of Nian Juntings threats, because Murong Cheng would pay her anyway.


    Seeing that Nian Xi and Luosang were enjoying the meal right in front of him, Nian Junting wore a sour look.


    This was the first time in his life that hed been ignored like this.


    He was already hungry before, and now he felt even hungrier while watching the other two eat.


    What was worse was that Nian Xi had taken arge piece of his favorite fish.


    Suddenly, his stomach rumbled.


    Luosang heard it. Seeing the angry and embarrassed look in his face, she nearlyughed out loud.


    Ah, brother, are you hungry? Do you need me to call Xiaosi here to feed you? said Nian Xi smilingly and sarcastically, with a chicken wing in her mouth.


    Luosang, dont forget about your job. If I insist on firing you, then even my mother wouldnt be able to change my mind, Nian Junting reminded Luosang with a cold voice.


    Luosang stopped smiling, knowing that he was serious.


    She shouldnt push it too far, as she was only a carer.


    So, she picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and continued feeding him.


    He chewed in satisfaction. Maybe because he was hungrier than before, but he now felt that the fish tasted incredibly delicate. Sister Lan cooked well, but she used to work in a grand hotel so her dishes were a little less special than Luosangs. Luosang made more homely dishes, ones people would never get tired of eating.

 Chapter 31. Nian Xi Felt that Her Brother Was Like A Puppy

    Chapter 31. Nian Xi Felt that Her Brother Was Like A Puppy


    Brother, isnt this braised fish especially delicious? Looking at her brother, Nian Xi felt like she was a puppy getting fed by its owner.


    Nian Junting raised his chin proudly and said, Just average. Theres still room for improvement.


    Luosang snorted silently.


    If its just average, why are you taking suchrge bites? she thought.


    She never saw him with such a big appetite when Sister Lan cooked his meals.


    You call that average? Nian Xi hated his dishonesty, so she put the rest of the fish into her own bowl and said, Since you think its average, Ill eat it all. I havent had such delicious fish for a long time.


    Nian Xi, cant you pay a little attention to your manners? Seeing that his favorite fish was gone, Nian Junting became so angry that he nearly choked on his rice.


    Nian Xisrge eyes were filled with innocence as she responded with, Were family. Why do we have to act so reserved? Brother, you like the fish, dont you?


    I dont, said Nian Junting.


    Thats what I thought, continued Nian Xi while eating happily. Sister Luosang, I decided toe here more frequently to bum meals off of you. The food in the police station is a disaster, she said to Luosang.


    I dont want you here, said Nian Junting through clenched teeth.


    I dont need you to, responded Nian Xi carelessly.


    Nian Junting felt speechless.


    This was definitely the worst meal he ever had.


    Sitting beside him, Luosang observed his tightened, handsome face. He seemed to be on the verge of losing his temper, but he knew that he shouldnt; it was like he was suffering constipation. Seeing theplicated look in his face, Luosang lowered her head and smiled.


    Luosang believed that being arrogant and sharp-tongued was a disease. She couldnt cure this disease that he had, but his sister probably could.


    The morning before New Years Eve, Luosang arrived at the family home of the Nian Family with Nian Junting and his sister. It was a manor, located about twenty miles away from Xia City. The manor was designed to resemble Suzhou traditional gardens, decorated with rockery and pavilions, and had a man-made stream running around. However, different from the other part of the manor, the vi was a foreign-style building, built during the Republic China period, and seemed to contain a wealth of culture.


    It was almost New Years Eve, so couplets were put up on both sides of the gate of the vi. They made the entire building radiate with joy.


    A couple of cars had parked in the parking lot. Some were luxurious, and some werent. The only thing inmon with these cars were their special license te numbers.


    Luosang wheeled Nian Junting into the vi. Around ten people were already there. Some of them were ying mahjong, some were chatting, and some children were frolicking about. They were all members of the Nian Family.


    Tingting, Xi, youre back! An olddy walked over on a crutch with red eyes and said, Tingting, I heard that you had a car ident. I wanted to go and see you, but your father didnt let me. Look at you, youre even sitting in a wheelchair. When will you recover? How could they tell me that you werent hurt badly?


    Ill rest for a while, and then Ill be full of vigor again. Dont worry.


    Once he finished his words, a middle-aged man sitting on the couch snorted coldly and said, I told you to not to be a businessman, but you insisted. Look at you now. You havent recovered from the car ident yet, but yesterday, someone tried to pour piss on you in public. I heard from Director Yao that you were attacked by over ten people. Youre lucky that they didnt disable you.


    Dad, it wasnt so bad. They were just trying to frighten my brother. Everyone knows who he is and no one dares do anything to him, unless they want to die, said Nian Xi smilingly.


    Alright, dont you me Tingting, Nian Juntings grandma gave her son a threatening nce, then said, Being a businessman is safer than being a politician at least. Dont forget that Tingting almost died in the army.


    Please dont mention these unhappy things during New Years Eve. Nian Juntings grandpa changed the topic and said to him, Tingting, you should talk to your mother, and tell her toe back for the New Year. Its been so long since theyve separated. Are they really gonna get divorced?


    I dont know, and Im toozy to care. The look on Nian Juntings face instantly turned cold.


    He turned his head slightly, then pointed at the grapefruit on the tea table and said to Luosang, Peel some for me.

 Chapter 32. By the Noisy Mahjong Table, He Tightened His Body And Went into A Trance

    Chapter 32. By the Noisy Mahjong Table, He Tightened His Body And Went into A Trance


    The people sitting on the couch fixed their eyes on Luosang. She shyly walked to the tea table, picked up arge grapefruit, and carefully peeled it to expose the translucent, plump fruit. Then, she removed the seeds and prepared to feed the fruit to Nian Junting. But, he raised a hand to take the fruit and ate it on his own.


    Luosang paused, while Nian Xi said in surprise, Brother, you can eat on your own now?


    Umm well this morning after getting up, I found that Ive recovered a little more, Nian Junting responded while chewing the juicy and sweet grapefruit. Peel more for me, he then said to Luosang.


    Luosang figured that the physical therapy he had yesterday at the hospital had started working. She was worrying that he might not recover before her school term began, but judging by his current condition he should be able to walk on his own in twenty days at most.


    Nian Qingyun couldnt bear to watch his son be sozy, so he snapped at Nian Junting, Shes not your servant. You shouldnt ask her to peel your fruit if you can do it on your own. Youre a man, how could you do that?


    Ive paid her, so I ask her to peel my grapefruit for me. Whats wrong with that? Nian Junting raised his brows and retorted.


    Nian Juntings second uncle said, Can you two please not argue every time youre together, while waving them over to the mahjong table, Tingtinge over here to y mahjong.


    Alright, he responded. He then turned to Luosang and said, Wheel me over.


    Since the beginning of the mahjong game, Luosang had been by Nian Juntings right side, peeling grapefruits for him. Her fingers began to ache, yet Nian Junting was still eating fast and endlessly.


    Nian Heng, can you y faster? Its not as difficult as giving birth. And Luosang, can you peel faster? Isnt peeling fruit easy work? And get me another ss of water, Im thirsty, said Nian Junting.


    Luosang sighed silently. Peeling grapefruits used to be the most troublesome thing in the world to her, so she chose not to eat them.


    Finally, Nian Junting finished half a grapefruit. She thought that was the end of her peeling job, but Nian Junting asked her to take a new grapefruit and peel for him.


    She couldnt understand why he loved grapefruit so much. After Nian Junting finished two whole grapefruits, Luosang felt her fingers burning. Nian Juntings second uncle realized how tired she was, so he said to Nian Junting, Tingting, dont eat that much fruit, well have lunch soon. Your aunt has prepared a lot of delicious food.


    Alright, Ill leave some for the afternoon then, said Nian Junting. He just drew two mahjong tiles and discarded them while his cousin who sat in front of him won.


    Sorry Ting, you lost again, said his cousin.


    Nian Junting wore an unhappy look and said, Im so unlucky. I havent even won once.


    Haha, youre holding a poor hand indeed. What about asking thedy beside you to draw tiles for you? his cousinughed and said.


    Nian Junting turned to nce at Luosang.


    Luosang hurriedly shook her head and said, I never have great luck.


    She was worried that if she made him lose money, he would take the amount lost from her sry.


    You look like an unlucky person indeed, but Ive lost quite a lot already. I intend to make every possible effort. Go ahead, draw tiles for me, said Nian Junting while proudly raising his chin.


    Hearing him, Luosang reached out to draw a series of mahjong tiles for him. All the tiles she drew were bamboos, followed by a Kong.


    Nian Junting raised one brow, said to her, Continue.


    Luosang didnt think that she would hold a good hand. She moved her chair closer to the table, and continued drawing tiles for Nian Jutning. Every time she reached out to draw a tile and leaned her body forward, her chest would brush against Nian Juntings arm.


    Every time Luosang leaned over, he smelled a refreshing aroma of grapefruit from. Even by this noisy mahjong table, she actually made him go into a trance.


    He didnt know what was happening until he hard a very deep yet sweet voice sounding pleasantly surprised and unconfident saying, This have I just won by my own draws?


    Nian Junting came back to his senses, saw his tiles then paused. Indeed, she had won by her own draws. There was even a Kong, so she won double.


    Em, he snorted. Nian Junting didnt expect her to be so lucky.


    Great, Luosang then stopped worrying.

 Chapter 33. She Even Tried to Allure Him in Front of so Many People

    Chapter 33. She Even Tried to Allure Him in Front of so Many People


    Nian Juntings mouth curved in a smile as he thought that Luosang was happy because she had won money for him. He believed that being happy for her boss was a very good performance of hers.


    He turned back to give her a praising nce, but then saw her bright smile. The corners of her mouth were turned up, unable to conceal her excitement. Her pair of eyes under therge ck-rimmed sses now seemed to glow with a bright luster, which was beautiful enough to make someones heart stop beating. She didnt look like a thirty-year-old woman at all.


    Without knowing why, Nian Junting suddenly felt that she was young and pretty.


    His rising eyebrows suddenly turned down.


    He was a little unhappy.


    It was fine that she tried to allure him while giving her a sponge bath, but right now, in front of so many people, she was actually doing it again.


    Shes so unruly, he thought.


    Damn, Ting, youve won back all that youve lost in on round. If I knew that your carer could bring you good luck, Id never suggested that you let her draw your tile. Nian Juntings cousin was so regretful, and all the others med him.


    It might be an ident, said Nian Junting ndly. However, he continued letting Luosang draw his tiles for the next round of the game.


    Surprisingly, she won every round by her own draw.


    Until lunch, Nian Junting had won over five-thousand yuan. That surprised him. He had been ying mahjong for years, but was never so lucky.


    Can she really bring me good luck? He wondered.


    He conveniently handed her a wad of cash and said, This is your reward.


    Luosang was stunned. He had just handed her at least a few thousand yuan; that was arge sum of money for her. Without thinking, she shook her head and rejected it.


    I dont deserve that, she said.


    Nian Junting frowned, but then smiled and said, Youre ying hard-to-get.


    Luosang was confused.


    Ive seen many women who have yed that game with me. But youre not like them. Youve saved me after all. So, Im just gonna tell you this clearly. On both terms of age and appearance, youre not my type. And I dont like flirting with women.


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched, as she had absolutely no idea he was thinking.


    Lets go eat, he turned his head and said. Clearly, he didnt want to continue this topic.


    The lunch was made by a few of Nian Juntings uncles and aunties, including over twenty delicate dishes. Nian Junting took a couple of bites, then lost his appetite.


    Every New Year he had the same traditional dishes, which were terribly greasy. He now recalled the few homely dishes that Luosang made yesterday. They were made from cheap food but all had great looks and tastes.


    While thinking, he nced at Luosang, who sat beside him. She was eating with a good appetite, and seem to know exactly how to eat these delicate foods.


    He remembered that some people from less wealthy families didnt know what to eat when they came here to have meals with him and his families for the first time because the foods were too luxurious for them. Some of them even made stupid mistakes while eating.


    However, she was nothing like those people. On the contrary, she seemed to have had these luxurious dishes before.


    The more he thought about that, the weirder the look in his eyes became.


    At evening, only Nian Junting, his sister, father, grandparents and a few helps stayed at the house.


    After dinner, Nian Juntings grandmother began giving red envelopes to her grandchildren and to the people who worked at the house. Luosang got one too. The thick red envelope made her feel uneasy. After all, she had only been working for Nian Family for several days.


    Take it, Nian Junting said to her tly. Its a family tradition.


    Nian Juntings grandmother put the red envelope in her hands and said amiably, Yeah, and I heard that you saved Tingting yesterday,


    After that, the members of Nian Family sat together to watch the New Years g on TV. Nian Junting was bored after sitting there for a short while, so he went upstairs. At the family house, there were finally some men to help him. He asked the steward to give him a sponge bath.


    Luosang had been giving him sponge baths these days. At first, her face would blush while doing that, butter, she was able to wipe his private area very calmly, and that upset Nian Junting.

 Chapter 34. Cant You See that Luosang Likes Me?

    Chapter 34. Can''t You See that Luosang Likes Me?


    During the sponge bath, Nian Junting felt a little ufortable because the stewards hands were too rough, not as soft and tender as Luosangs. Her hands felt like silk on his skin.


    Also the steward was too heavy-handed, not as gentle as Luosang.


    Furthermore, the steward had a strange scent, which was nothing like the refreshing aroma that he could sense from Luosang when she got near him. He really didnt like the scent from the steward.


    So, Nian Junting nced at the steward in dislike. The steward was frightened badly as he didnt know what he did wrong.


    After the sponge bath, Nian Junting went out of the bathroom and saw Nian Xi talking to Luosang by a window.


    Lets go put on fireworks, ignore my brother, she said.


    I hired her to take of me, not to y with you, Nian Junting pulled a long face and said without showing any patience or gentleness some brothers would show to their little sisters.


    Theres only our father and grandparents in this house, who am I supposed to y with? Nian Xi stomped her foot and pouted, saying, The steward will take care of you anyway.


    No, Nian Junting turned down her request, then said to Luosang, Luosang, go get me some grapefruit, I want some.


    So grapefruit-peeling again. He has eaten four grapefruits in one day. Cant he get tired of that? What a grapefruit-eating monster, thought Luosang.


    Excuse me, Miss. Nian, I need to peel grapefruits, Luosang gave Nian Xi a very helpless smile and said.


    Looking at her back, Nianxi felt deeply sorry for her. Brother, can I borrow Sister Luosang for half a day tomorrow afternoon? said Nianxi to her brother, I think Sister Luosang is really a nice person, but shes thirty and is still unmarried. Tomorrow, Aunt Rongs son wille to visit Grandpa, and I want to introduce him to Sister Luosang. I n to take them to a movie, as a hot film will be on tomorrow. Maybe theyll like each other.


    Aunt Rong used to be their grandmothers carer. She was really nice, so her entire family was taken care of by the Nian Family. Her son was named Rong Ye, thirty-four years old. He had contracted for an orchard, and had been managing it well. He wasnt bad-looking, and was unmarried.


    Nian Junting paused briefly when hearing his sister, and soon began shaking his head.


    Brother, dont be so cruel. Its only gonna be one afternoon. Perhaps, one decision of yours will lead to a wonderful marriage, Nian Xi begged him, Rong Ye is gentle and hardworking, while Sister Luosang is kind and capable. I really think theyll be a good match.


    Luosang wont like Rong Ye, said Nian Junting affirmatively.


    Why not? Asked Nian Xi.


    Nian Junting nced at her, his eyes were saying Youre so stupid.


    Cant you see that Luosang likes me? He asked his sister.


    Nian Xi was dumbfounded to hear that. I truly cant she blinked and said.


    Nian Junting snorted slightly, wondering why would someone as handsome and smart as himself has a little sister as silly and slow-minded as Nian Xi. If she isnt fond of me, would she risk her own safety to save me yesterday? Didnt you say it yourself that even as my sister you wouldnt shield me against that bucket of piss? And, theres something you dont know yet. Shes been trying to allure me all the time, regardless of settings. Wasnt that clear enough? She only has me in her heart now, he said.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    She felt that she had a group of crows flying across her mind while cawing loudly. As her brother had always been strangely confident, she surely didnt believe what he said.


    But its not good for her to carry a torch for me like that, Nian Junting suddenly frowned and said, Shes not my type at all. Ah, never mind, you should introduce her to Rong Ye. She mighte round and see him as the second best choice.


    Alright Nian Xi felt that her brain wasnt even working.


    At that moment, Luosang walked over, carrying a cut-up grapefruit.

 Chapter 35. Happy New Year

    Chapter 35. Happy New Year


    Nian Xi grabbed Luosangs hands and said, Sister Lusoang, my brother has agreed to let you go to a movie with me tomorrow afternoon.


    Luosang paused shortly, then said, But, doesnt your brother need someone to take care of him


    Just take half a day off. The steward can take care of me, said Nian Junting. While speaking, he looked at Nian Xi with a helpless look in his eyes, as if sayingSee, I know she likes me. Otherwise, why would she be so worried about me? She doesnt even want to leave me alone for a short while.


    The corners of Nian Xis mouth twitched, then she said, Alright Ill be leaving now.


    She really wanted to yell at her brother and tell him thatShes your carer, and its normal for her to worry about you!


    She likes you? thought Nian Xi. Only if shes sick-minded. Why else would she like someone as nitpicky as you?


    After the steward left, Nian Junting found afortable spot on the bed, thenidd down to watch TV. Luosang sat beside him, feeding him grapefruit.


    After spending a long time eating, he suddenly discovered that she was now peeling grapefruits much faster than she had in the daytime, so he said, Not bad, your grapefruit-peeling skills have improved. As I thought, you needed practice.


    Luosang took a deep breath, then sighed and responded, I cut every segment of grapefruit at the bottom, so theyre easier to peel.


    Hearing her, Nian Junting nced at the peeled grapefruit in the te, then said, Youre smart. It seems that youre quite suitable for this job.


    Luosang wanted to die when she heard him.


    It wasnt a happy thing for her to be told that she was suitable for grapefruit-peeling.


    It was almost twelve oclock when the sounds of fireworks were heard from outside, and colorful fireworks began to spread in the sky.


    Luosang stood by the window, looking at the fireworks and feeling the deep sadness and loneliness from her heart.


    Before, her families would always get together at New Year, and her father would enjoy a drink with Yi Jingxi. But now, her father was in prison, she was away from home, and her home was gone.


    She closed the window to block the sounds of the firecrackers. Nian Junting was sitting on the bed, replying to messages. She assumed that many people were sending New Years greetings to him.


    The room suddenly quieted down. Nian Junting raised his head to look at Luosang, who was leaning against the bed, then frowned and said, You have someone to send you a New Years greetings too, dont you?


    No. Luosang smiled and dropped her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes.


    Thats sad. Not even that fatso texted you? Isnt he chasing after you? Nian Juntings narrowed eyes showed slight sympathy for her as he said, He pays too little attention to the girl hes chasing. If he likes you, hed definitely message you with a warm blessing just past twelve. I think you should forget him. Hes most likely casting a wide and ying with you.


    Luosang remained silent. She never thought about being with Doctor Gu.


    Seeing that she stayed silent, Nian Junting thought that she felt even sadder than before. So, he hesitated for a moment, then asked, Whats your phone number?


    Luosang paused for a second, then gave him her number.


    He lowered his head to tap on his phone. Soon afterwards, Luosangs phone buzzed.


    She lowered her head to check it and found a message from a strange number that said Happy New Years.


    Thats my number, Nian Junting looked at her and said, believing that she was obviously touched. Dont misunderstand me, and please dont deepen your feelings for me. I just felt pity for you, and I mean nothing more than that. I have absolutely no desire for you. His lips curved in a proud smile.


    I know. She couldnt stand his extremely arrogant and narcissistic attitude, but still sensed a warmth flowing across her heart.


    Seeing Luosang gazing at him with a faint smile on her face, Nian Junting sighed and rubbed his own hair.


    He believed that he was too nice. Judging by the look in her eyes, he felt that she now loved him more and more, and that was terrible.

 Chapter 36. You Werent Here, so Young Masters been in a Bad Mood the Whole Time

    Chapter 36. You Weren''t Here, so Young Master''s been in a Bad Mood the Whole Time


    At the first day of the lunar year, Luosang went to the cinema with Nian Xi. They were apanied by a man named Rong Ye, who looked gentle and mature. He picked Luosang and Nian Xi up from the family house of Nian Family with a Passat, which was worth about two-hundred thousands yuan.


    Ten minutes after they left, Nian Junting tasted the grapefruit handed to him by the steward, then his handsome face darkened in dissatisfaction. Why is the grapefruit peeled by you so sour? He asked.


    Sweat trickled down the stewards face as he responded, That Not all grapefruits are sweet.


    Then why all the grapefruits peeled by Luosang were sweet? Said Nian Junting scornfully. He believed that the steward was trying to pass the buck, and was very irresponsible. And youre so slow. Are you nting grapefruit?


    The steward wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. Every grapefruit picked by Luosang was sweet, but he didnt have the luck. Young Master, Ive tried my best. Im not a professional grapefruit-peeler after all. He said.


    But Luosang isnt one either, is she? Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, Forget it, I dont want grapefruit anymore. Go make me some a cup of tea.


    Five minutester, the steward served the tea to him. He took a few sips, then knitted his brows again and said, Your tea doesnt have the refreshing scent, and taste full of dry bitterness. Its awful.


    Not like Luosangs tea, the stewards tea didnt have the nice fragrance which would linger for a long time.


    The steward even wanted to die. He graduated from a butler academy, and making tea was a piece of cake for him. However, Nian Junting just criticized his tea for its awful taste.


    That didnt make sense.


    Young Master, I made tea like that before, said the steward.


    Didnt you enjoy my tea at that time? He thought.


    Your skill has fallen off, Nian Junting put down his teacup with disappointment and said, Massage my shoulders.


    The steward put his hands on Nian Juntings shoulder as the sweat broke out on his forehead. But in less than one minute, Nian Juntings angry voice could be heard again.


    Are you trying to kill me? He said, Youre breaking my shoulders! Your massage skill is not even half as good as Luosangs.


    The steward was nearly devastated. Nian Juntings grandmother who sat beside him couldnt bear watching this, so she said, Thats enough. The steward is responsible for managing this house, not massaging and caring.


    The steward nodded silently.


    Nian Junting sneered, said, Dont try to find excuses for yourself. Luosang is just a carer, but why can she make good tea, peel grapefruits fast and cook well?


    After saying that, he suddenly realized that Luosang was quite capable. She was able to protect him, cook for him and do many other things for him.


    Next, without Luosangs massage, he failed to fall asleep at nap time. And after that, he got up to y mahjong, but yed an extremely bad hand. He asked the steward to draw mahjong tiles for him, but the tiles drawn by the steward were even worse than the ones drawn by himself. He lost tens of thousands in the afternoon, so he even wanted to tear the steward into pieces every time he saw him.


    Six pm, once getting off the car, Luosang saw the steward walk quickly at her as if she was the savior. Luosang, youre finally back! Ive been expecting you the entire afternoon, said the steward.


    Luosang was startled. Im not so close with this steward, am I? She wondered.


    Young Master has been in a bad mood while youre not here. Hes been angry at me the whole time, sighed the steward bitterly.


    Is Mr. Nian ever in a good mood? Asked Luosang.


    The steward didnt know how to respond, as he felt that Luosang was quite right.


    Luosang assumed that the steward was doing too good in the Nian Family, and had never suffered the difficulties of being with Nian Junting, and believed that was why he was so frustrated now.


    She then turned back to say to Rong Ye, Mr. Rong, thank you for your treat this afternoon.


    Dont mention it. Its my pleasure to be with two lovelydies on the first day of the year. Contact me by WeChat if you have time. Rong Ye smiled and waved at her, then drove away.

 Chapter 37. Ms. Nian Wasnt Fixing Me Up With Mr. Rong, Was She?

    Chapter 37. Ms. Nian Wasn''t Fixing Me Up With Mr. Rong, Was She?


    Nian Xi held Luosangs arm, snickered, and said, Oi, you two hit it off this afternoon. Im surprised.


    Yeah, I didnt expect that to happen either, Luosang responded. Her true age was only twenty-two after all, so she could always feel a generation gap when talking to people who were over ten years older than her. However, Rong Ye was quite chatty, and not awkward to be with.


    So, do you Before finishing her words, Nian Xi saw a pair of angry eyes behind the French window. The grim look in those eyes was quite scary.


    Eh Brother Whyre you sitting here? asked Nian Xi.


    Do I need to exin to you about why I am sitting here? said Nian Junting with an ice-cold voice. Just now, he felt indescribably ufortable when saw Luosang get out of Rong Yes car smilingly.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said, Have you eaten gunpowder?


    Nian Junting ignored her, but turned to Luosang and said coldly, Come here. What are you waiting for?


    Why are you so mean? Nian Xi pouted.


    Luosang shook her head to her, then obediently walked up behind Nian Junting and put her hands on his shoulders to give him a massage.


    Her hands were as soft as water and brought him so much morefort than the stewards hands.


    Enjoying the massage, Nian Junting, who acted like a raging lion, instantly became a lot calmer, and the look in his face was less sour than before.


    Seeing this, both Nian Xi and the steward paused shortly in shock, then smartly left.


    Nian Junting closed his eyes to feel her massage, then asked abruptly, How was your afternoon?


    Eh? Luosang paused for a second, then responded, The movie was good.


    I didnt mean the movie, Nian Junting gave her a sideway nce and said, I meant Rong Ye.


    At that moment, Luosang suddenly realized something. Miss. Nian wasnt trying to fix me up with Mr. Rong, was she?


    Youve spent a whole afternoon with him, but you didnt realize it until now? Nian Junting thought, rubbed his forehead.


    Luosang now understood that, murmured without thinking, But Mr. Rong is so much older than me


    Nian Juntings mouth corners twitched as he said, Youre thirty, but you think thirty-four is too old?


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. She forgot that she had told everyone that she was thirty.


    I think you like young men. Nian Junting believed that Luosang liked him, who was young. However, he also believed that he would never like a woman who was two years older than himself, even though she could make nice tea and peel grapefruits. He thought love couldnt be forced.


    I shouldnt say that. Mr. Nian, let me peel you a grapefruit. Luosang hurriedly switched the topic.


    Soon, she served some well-peeled grapefruits to Nian Junting. He tasted one piece and found it was very sweet, much sweeter than the ones peeled by the steward. After spending a while enjoying the fruit, he said, Rong Ye is not bad, but his father is addicted to gambling, so I think you should consider carefully. You dont need to be anxious though. You can stay by my side, work for me, and Ill let my people introduce some nice men to you.


    He had thought about that this afternoon. He understood that keeping a woman who was craving him by his side wasnt appropriate. However, she was really capable, and he believed that it would really be a waste to let her continue working as a carer and taking care of other patients after he recovered.


    Mr. Nian, what are you talking about? Luosang was confused.


    I mean, when I recover, you can continue working in my vi, like Sister Lan, said Nian Junting while looking at her. He could imagine how pleasantly surprised she would be, but after waiting for quite a while, he failed to detect any happiness from her face, which was filled with an astonished look.


    Great, she really knows how to pretend, he thought.


    Thank you Mr. Nian, Luosang got his message and responded with, But Im happy with my job. I now have no n to change my profession.

 Chapter 38. She Suddenly Told Him that She Likes Him

    Chapter 38. She Suddenly Told Him that She Likes Him


    Are you kidding? Nian Junting sneered and said, Whats so good about being a carer? You need to deal with patient excrements and do all kinds of hard and filthy work. Youre lucky to take care of me, I mean, if youre facing an old man and need to wipe his old withered body every day, youd even feel sick when looking at him. Working in my vi may sounds not so good, but thats an easy job. Youll get paid well, and youll have insurance and housing funding. The treatment wont be any worse than what white cors can get. Do you know how many people out there want to work in my vi? Dont be ungrateful.


    While he was speaking, his voice turned deeper and deeper, and his eyes were filled with unhappiness.


    Luosang didnt know how to exin to him. She guessed that he would want to tear her into pieces if she directly tells him that she wouldnt be interested in working in his vi no matter how much money hed pay her.


    She understood that some words needed to be put in a mild way, but she didnt know how to turn him down without pissing him off.


    She tried very hard thinking, then stuttered, Mr. Nian, I rejected you because eh Im afraid that if I spend more time with you, I will find more outstanding features of yours, and till then, Ill fall in deeper love with you, and I might be carried away with you


    Finished talking, she felt extremely ufortable.


    Nian Junting was stunned, then his ears blushed.


    I knew that she likes me, but how could she suddenly tell me that? I wasnt prepared for this. This woman really doesnt know what shame is, he thought.


    However, he also felt that her words did make sense.


    He pondered shortly, then said, Its good for you to be so self-knowing. I had a second thought and now feel that youre right. Lets forget about it.


    Suddenly, he felt a little pity.


    After all, he liked to be taken care of by Luosang.


    After spending three days at the family house, Nian Junting took Luosang back to the Tianhu Vi in Xia City.


    His grandmother knew that he loved grapefruits, so she asked the steward to put arge bagful of grapefruits in his trunk when they left. Those were at least a dozen grapefruits.


    Looking at that bagful of grapefruits, Luosang even wanted to cry.


    After they returned to the vi, quite some guests visited Nian Junting and paid him New Year calls. Sister Lan was back, but they were still short-handed. So, Luosang needed to serve the guests and take care of Nian Junting at the same time, and was often sent to the kitchen to help Sister Lan at lunchtime.


    Therefore, she lost six pounds in days. Not even her ck-rimmed sses could cover the dark circles under her eyes.


    At the seventh day in the lunar month, she apanied Nian Junting to hispany. As it was the first day of work in this year, all his employees had lined up by the front gate of thepany to wee their boss.


    Nine oclock sharp, Luosang wheeled Nian Junting into thepanys building. This morning, she picked a purplish-red suit for him. The perfectly tailored suit fitted his beautiful body shape, made him look so elegant even when sitting in a wheelchair, also matched the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.


    Lu Kang followed behind Luosang, giving a red envelope to each employee.


    After receiving the red envelopes, all the employees were energized.


    Mr. Nian, Mr. Nian, please forgive us an anxious voice broke the pleasant atmosphere.


    An old couple attempted to break in from the front gate, but were stopped by the security guards.


    Mr. Nian, were begging you! As they couldnt get in, the old couple kneeled by the front gate directly, began kowtowing.


    Seeing that, the employees all began whispering to each other.


    Those are Gao Shengyuan and his wife, Lu Kang said to Nian Junting with a low voice, We did what you said, so they had a pretty rough New Year. I guess theyre here to beg you for leniency.


    Beg him for leniency? Who would do that in this way? The ones who didnt know what happened may think that he had done something unforgivably evil.


    Let them in, said Nian Junting coldly.

 Chapter 39. Want Me to Forgive You? You Have to Ask The Lady Beside Me First

    Chapter 39. Want Me to Forgive You? You Have to Ask The Lady Beside Me First


    As the security guards stepped away, Gao Shengyuan and his wife shambled to Nian Junting. Gao Shengyuans hair was grey, his eyes were sunken, and his face was filled with a sickly look. The red-eyed Mrs. Gao cried out loud as soon as she saw Nian Junting.


    Mr. Nian, were barely hanging on. Please forgive us, she cried.


    Yeah, its a misunderstanding, Gao Shengyuan chimed in. About what happened to you in the hospital  we didnt do it. Those workers from a construction site of ourpany did it, and I knew nothing about it. I lived in the hospital during the time, and I was too sick to even get out of the bed. We cant go back home. We cant go back to the hospital either. Mr. Nian, you see, weve been working together for years, and Im an old man. Please give us a break, please. Youre such a generous man.


    After saying that, Gao Shengyuan dragged his wife down to the ground and began kowtowing again.


    Ahyaya, what a busy morning. Xiao Si walked in slowly with a wicked smile while tossing his car keys, as if he was here to watch a show.


    Mr. Xiao, please intercede with Mr. Nian for me! Gao Shengyuan hurriedly turned to grab Xiao Sis pants.


    Oi, dont touch me! Xiao Si stepped away immediately, as if Gao Shengyuan had some kind of infectious disease. Old people like to ckmail others these days. Youre at this age, so I dont want to take responsibility if you faint.


    Hearing his sarcastic words, Gao Shengyuans wrinkled face froze a little. Then, he turned back to continue kowtowing to Nian Junting.


    Enough. Nian Junting narrowed his eyes, which were radiating coldness, and said, If you want me to give you a break, youre gonna have to ask thisdy beside me first. From the beginning to the end, shes one who suffered the greatest harm. Lets see if she agrees.


    While speaking, he fixed his eyes on Luosang with a meaningful look, and the others did the same.


    Luosang paused. Seeing Nian Juntings mouth curved in a faint smile, she suddenly realized something.


    Nian Junting valued his reputation very much, so he would never let people know that someone had tried to pour a bucket of piss on him. Right now, Gao Shengyuan and his wife were trying everything to show how miserable their life was, and Nian Junting didnt want to act too cruel and ruthless. So, she now needed to deal with this whole thing.


    ording to what she knew about her boss, he did not, and would never want to forgive Gao Shengyuan.


    It seems that I have to be the bad person now. Hes an exploitative capitalist indeed, she thought.


    Gao Shengyuan quickly looked at Luosang from head to toes. Based on her cheap clothes, he guessed that she was most likely just a help. So, he was relieved slightly, as he believed that people like her were the easiest to deal with.


    Lady, I let that happen by failing to restrain my employees. How much money do you want? Illpensate you with as much as you want.


    As much as I want? Luosang smiled coldly and responded, Alright then, give me ten million, and we can forget about what happened.


    Ten million? Gao Shengyuan paused shortly, as he couldnt believe his own ears. Lady, you see, youre standing here, perfectly unharmed. You dont seem to be hurt severely. Ourpany isnt doing well right now, and were really short on funds. Youre demanding an exorbitant price. We wont be able to afford that price, not even if we, an old couple, give you our lives, he said.


    Yeah? Luosangs gaze suddenly turned sharp as she said, The barrette on Mrs. Gaos hair seems to be from PORE from Italy. PORE isnt one of the most well-known luxury brands, but I heard that even a simple barrette from that brand is worth over a million. I dont think youre short on money, as Mrs. Gao is still wearing such an expensive barrette.


    Once she said that, all the employees who were watching were surprised. Even Nian Junting and Xiao Si looked at her in surprise.


    Mrs. Gao automatically tried to cover the barrette with her hand, seemingly flurried.

 Chapter 40. I Think… the Narrow-minded and Bad-tempered Mr. Nian has No Reason to Forgive Them

    Chapter 40. I Think�� the Narrow-minded and Bad-tempered Mr. Nian has No Reason to Forgive Them


    To look like a poor person, Mrs. Gao didnt wear any jewelry but a most humble-looking barrette beforeing. That barrette was a gift from her daughter. It was expensive indeed, but only a few people in China knew about PORE as a brand. So, Mrs. Gao didnt expect it to be recognized by a help.


    You What are you talking about? I bought this from a street stall, it only cost tens of yuan, she said.


    We can find out if it only cost tens of yuan on POREs official website, Lusang curved her lips while saying, her eyes were filled with coldness. However, no matter how much this barrette is worth, I dont intend to forgive you. Because I hate people like you, who like to pretend to be poor and take advantage of your seniority the most.


    Who are taking advantage of their seniority? Hearing her, Gao Shengyuan immediately pulled a long face and said, Were kneeling on the ground to beg you, what else do you want?


    Forgive you or not, thats my own decision to make. Do I have to forgive you because youve kneeled to beg me? Said Luosang ndly, When those people dragged my hair and hit me, I asked them to stop, but did they? You im to be innocent, can you prove that? You have no proof. If you can solve every problem by simply talking, what does the world needw and police for?


    You Gao Shengyuan shivered in anger.


    Im sorry, I think youre not forgiven by her, Nian Junting interrupted him, smiled faintly and said, Shes right. If youre innocent, you can tell that to the police, instead of me. And, Im not the one whos troubling you, your employees are. So, you shouldnte to me to make a scene.


    Security, kick them out. Its so early in the morning, but theyve already ruined my good mood, he then said to the security guards.


    Before Gao Shengyuan and his wife said another word, they were dragged out of the front gate by security guards.


    As Luosang wheeled Nian Junting into the elevator, Xiaosi quickly followed, said to her with great interest, Sister, I really need to look at you with new eyes. If youre four or five years younger, Ill definitely chase you.


    Luosang smiled, remained silent.


    Nian Junting also looked at her with surprise, said, Youre just a carer, but how do you know so much about that barrette? You know where it is from, and even know its price so clearly.


    I used to look after a patient whos returned from Italy. She worked in the fashion industry and knew these stuff quite well. Ive learned some from her. Luosang had made up a convincible exnation long ago.


    So Gao Shengyuan and his wife arent as poor as they im to be. Theyre still rich, but dont want to spend their money, said Xiaosi while clenching his right fist to punch his left palm, But I thought youd forgive them. After all, most women are soft-hearted.


    I dont think I need to be soft-hearted to the ones who got what they deserved, Luosang dropped her cold eyes and said. Before, she might forgive people like them, but after all that she had been through, her heart had be harder than anyones. No matter how old they are, theyve made mistakes, and they need to pay for that. And if I forgive them, Mr. Nian would punish me afterward, wouldnt he? She continued.


    After she said that, the elevator became strangely quiet.


    A whileter, Xiao Si burst intoughter and said, Haha, Tingting, your carer is so interesting. I havent seen such an interesting person around you for long.


    Nian Junting gazed at Luosang with aplicated look.


    He didnt want Luosang to forgive Gao Shengyuan, and he hoped she could understand. However, he now felt embarrassed when she said that out loud.


    Ah, but how do you know he doesnt want to forgive Gao Shengyuan? Asked Xiaosi.


    Nian Junting also looked at her with curiosity.


    Luosang took a deep breath and said, I think Mr. Nian is narrow-minded and bad-tempered, so he has no reason to forgive him


    Nian Junting was speechless.

 Chapter 41. Xiao Si is too Wicked, I Dont Like Him

    Chapter 41. Xiao Si is too Wicked, I Don''t Like Him


    This time, Xiao Siughed so hard that he even burst in tears. Narrow-minded and bad-tempered; thats exactly you! Tingting, I like your carer more and more. I want her to look after me when you recover, he said.


    He then put his hand on Luosangs arm and said, How about I pay you fifty-thousand per month?


    Luosang was a little ufortable about the way Xiao Si acted, so she wanted to step away. However, before she said a word, Nian Junting began talking with a cold voice.


    Take your filthy hands away from my carer.


    What? Youre not jealous, are you? Xiao Siughed.


    Thats impossible. I was afraid that she might get your venereal disease and then give it to me, responded Nian Junting through clenched teeth, his face filled with dislike.


    Dont listen to him. Im very healthy. Xiao Si winked at Luosang and said, Im much nicer than him. Im not stingy, and Ill never treat people the way he does.


    Am I not nice? Am I stingy? Have I ever mistreated people? Nian Junting felt shameful for Xiao Si for trying to poach his carer right in front of him.


    Nian Juntings confident reaction made Luosang very speechless.


    Xiao Si rolled his eyes and said, Didnt you mistreat her? Look, through the New Year her oval face has be a V-shaped face.


    Is that true? Nian Junting looked at Luosangs face carefully and found that she had lost some weight indeed. However, he would never admit that he didnt treat her well. So he said, A V-shaped face is the most popr shape of faces now. Luosang, didnt you lose weight and turn your face into a V-shape intentionally to catch my attention?


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched up intensely.


    Xiao Si nced at Nian Junting with disbelief, asked, Are you okay?


    Cant you see the dark circles under her eyes? Cant you see that shes wan and sallow? You call that weight-losing? He thought.


    You know nothing, said Nian Junting to Xiao Si.


    He believed that Xiao Si didnt know how much Luosang liked him now.


    A woman could do anything for the person she likes.


    Xiao Si rubbed his forehead. He honestly didnt understand what was Nian Junting was thinking.


    The elevator stopped, and the three of them walked out. Xiao Si went back to his office, and before leaving, he asked Luosang to think about working for him.


    Youre not allowed to work for him, said Nian Junting. He sounded like an overbearing big boss.


    Luosang wasnt intending to work for Xiao Si, but she also felt that it was none of Nian Juntings business. So, she asked him, Why?


    Why?


    Nian Junting knitted his brows as he failed toe up with an answer. He said that only because he felt quite ufortable when picturing Luosang taking care of Xiao Si. He pondered for a few seconds and finally made up a satisfying answer, so he said, Because Xiao Si is too wicked, and I dont like him.


    You dont like him, but you co-founded apany with him and became his buddy? Luosang thought speechlessly.


    All in all, I said it for your own good. Youve seen those magazines that he brought to me before, right? Nian Junting began to tarnish his good friend very calmly, He has many porn videos, and hell watch them at home every day. Every once in a while, hed take different women to his home. Do you think a singledy like you should live in that kind of environment?


    Recalling that Xiao Si seemed to see those magazines as treasures, Luosang believed him.


    She felt sorry for Xiao Si, wondering why such a clean-looking and sunny man was so dissolute.


    Seeing the look in Luosangs face, Nian Junting felt that she was disgusted, so he smiled in satisfaction, then added, And forget about losing weight. You were just average-looking, but now youve made yourself uglier by losing weight.


    Dont you understand? Your old oval face was prettier, he thought.


    Luosang was left speechless.

 Chapter 42. Which Part of Your Fingers Are Aching? Let Me See

    Chapter 42. Which Part of Your Fingers Are Aching? Let Me See


    Luosang gave a bitter smile, as she felt that she couldnt even breathe when hearing Nian Juntings words.


    She never tried to lose weight. Instead, she lost weight because he gave her too much to do.


    After the New Year vacation, Nian Junting had a ton of work to do in the office.


    As he was reading files, a secretary named Zhao put a te of washed fruits on the tea table and said, Director Mu brought these back from the United States, especially for you.


    Luosangs heart sank. Is there something wrong with that Director Mu? Did he have to bring fruits all the way back from the United States? Cant he bring something else? Sheined silently.


    Through the New Year Vacation, she had learned that Nian Junting loved grapefruits, grapes and other simr kinds of fruits. Some men hated eating fruits, but he was very fond of them.


    Luosang would even shiver at the sight of any fruit now.


    As she thought, Nian Junting pointed his chin at her after ncing at those fruits, then ordered, Peel me some grapes.


    Luosangs face twitched slightly, then she said, Mr. Nian, in fact, the grape skin is rich in anthocyanin, which has an antioxidant effect and anti-aging effect, also can protect cardiovascr systems. Itll be a great waste to discard the grape skin. I think you should eat these grapes with the skin on, because its good for your body. And I think your secretary has washed them quite thoroughly.


    Yeah? Nian Junting lowered his head and said coldly, Since the grape skin has so many good effects, you can eat them, and Ill eat the pulp. Come on, youre older than me, so you need that anti-aging effect.


    Luosang even felt like vomiting blood at that moment. She decided to go the whole hog, so she lowered her head and responded, Ask your secretary to peel the grapes for you. Ive peeled too many fruitstely. My fingers are aching.


    She wasnt exaggerating. She had really been suffering a burning pain from her fingertips today.


    I knew it. You told me that eating the grape skin is good for my body only because you dont want to peel the grapes, Nian Junting raised his head to nce at her while saying, Do you know how well-educated my secretaries are? They all have master degrees from prestigious universities, and theyre doing high-sry jobs. You want these masters to peel grapes for me? How many human resources would that waste? Youre from the service industry, so, so you think you can bepared with them?


    Luosang smiled bitterly and said, No, I cant bepared with them. But, Ive been peeling fruits all daytely, and my fingers are killing me now. And, whats wrong with the service industry? Cant someone from the service industry feel pain? I get paid per diem for the works I do, and Im not a ve. If youre not satisfied with my works, you can cut my sry. Im cool with that.


    Her eyes behind therge ck-rimmed sses were fixed on Nian Junting, without showing any fear.


    The look in Nian Juntings face turned more and more unfriendly. He looked at her straight in the eyes, but she wasnt afraid of him at all.


    He frowned, then suddenly grabbed her hands from both sides of her body, saying, Which part of your fingers are aching? Let me see.


    The handsome Nian Junting dragged Luosangs hands tightly, observed them. From her thumbs to her forefingers, he looked very carefully, and his eyes were closer and closer to her fingers. Luosang felt really weird.


    She looked down and saw a dropped lock of his hair and his straight nose. He looked incredibly handsome from any possible angle.


    A strange atmosphere emerged from the air.


    Luosang was a sensitive woman. She tried to pull her hands away, as she felt so strange to have her hands be held by her boss like that. Besides, the secretary hadnt left.


    Youre not injured at all, Nian Junting suddenly raised his head and said, his eyes filled with unhappiness. You even dare to lie to me now, he continued.


    I never said that Im injured responded Luosang.

 Chapter 43. These Two Seem to Be Flirting with Each Other

    Chapter 43. These Two Seem to Be Flirting with Each Other


    You said your fingers hurt, but theyre not injured, so how could they be hurting? Nian Junting let go of her hands, then stared at her with an icy-cold look and said, Are you ying another trick? Youre changing your way of catching my attention. Arent you bored?


    Luosang sighed slightly and responded with, Wounds are not the only thing that can cause physical pain. My skin isnt broken, but my fingers hurt badly. If you dont believe me, you can try peeling fruits endlessly for seven to eight days.


    Why would I try that? Im busy. Nian Junting sat straight and picked up some files as he said, You dont want to peel grapes, fine. Your todays wage will be deducted by fifty percent.


    Whatever, Luosang sighed again and turned, saying, Ill go make you some tea.


    Nian Junting nearly lost his temper. He was so angry.


    Raising his head, he found that Zhao was still standing there, stunned. So he pounded the desk wrathfully and yelled at Zhao, What are you looking at? If you dont want to go out to continue your work, you can stay here and peel grapes.


    I Ill go do the work now, Zhao said. He left hurriedly, as he didnt want to stay in Nian Juntings office to peel grapes; even his lower legs were shaking.


    Why did I feel that they were flirting with each other? Thats not true, not true, he thought while leaving.


    During the next two days, Nian Junting hadnt shown much of good attitude toward Luosang. He would also give Luosang cold res from time to time while having meals.


    Luosang found that Nian Junting was awfully narrow-minded and childish, and could really hold a grudge for a long time. She didnt want to lengthen the disharmony between Nian Junting and herself, so she served him a te of peeled grapefruits at the evening of the third night while he was working in his study.


    Youre not gonna continue pretending to have aching fingers? Nian Junting turned his eyes away from theputer screen and looked at her expressionlessly.


    Luosang stopped herself from rolling her eyes, and forced a smile. Enjoy the fruit.


    Nian Junting picked a piece of grapefruit, put it in his mouth, then smiled faintly.


    Women need to be docile like this. I dont like the hard-to-get game, he thought.


    Luosang silently stood by his side, watching him finish half a te of grapefruits. He then began reading an email. The email was in Japanese. He browsed it quickly, then called the trantor to hand him the tranted copy tomorrow morning.


    Luosang stared at hisputer screen for quite a while. She had spent a year in Japan as an exchange student, so she had a goodmand of Japanese. She couldnt memorize anything she read, but as she had started practicing memorizing lines since she was little, her memory was much better than that of many others. At a quick nce, she figured out that the content of the email was an important contract. It should be the contract that Nian Juntingspany was about to sign with a scientific and technical corporation from Japan, which was often mentioned by him during the meetings he had with the top managers of hispany these days. It was said that this project was going to be their biggest invested-project this year, and would involve over a billion yuan.


    Can you read this? Nian Junting saw that her eyes were fixed on theputer screen, so he asked her this after hanging up the phone.


    Luosang lowered her head, smile,d and remained silent.


    The next day, Luosang wheeled Nian Junting into a small meeting room that she had never been in before. The bright sunlight poured into the room through the tempered ss windows. The meeting table, chairs, the ceiling light, and everything else in the room highlighted the luxurious taste of its owner.


    Hey, youre here. Xiao Si was sitting in the room, smoking with a man and a woman. The man was about forty years old. He was wearing a suit and looked like a business elite. The woman was wearing a smart white dress suit and delicate makeup, looking both modest and pretty.


    Mr. Nian, Happy New Year. The woman elegantly stood up to shake Nian Juntings hands while casually tucking her hair behind her ear. Youre about to recover, right? she asked.

 Chapter 44. It Doesnt Seem Like An Accident

    Chapter 44. It Doesn''t Seem Like An ident


    The doctor said Ill be able to walk in about a week, Nian Junting seemed to have no mood for small talks, as he continued with, Have you read the files yet? This contract is crucial. Youre a famouswyer. You should read it carefully with your team, as theres no room for mistake.


    Dont worry. Ive been working with Xiao Yue for so many years. Dont I know it clearly enough? An Lan responded smilingly, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Jiang the trantor, and I were discussing that.


    Luosang who stood behind Nian Junting immediately furred out who these two strangers were. One of them was awyer while the other was a trantor. The femalewyer named An Lan seemed to like Nian Junting.


    You can like any man, yet you chose the arrogant Nian Junting, thought Luosang.


    Wheres Huang Haoyun? Why isnt he here yet, said Nian Junting with a sour face, Do I need to wait for him?


    He just called to tell us that the principal from Chuanchi Gaisha needs to talk to him about something, so he might bete, Xiao Si crossed his legs, smiled and said, Huang Haoyun has done great deeds for ourpany. I really didnt expect him to make this project happen. It seems that hell have no problems taking the general managers job in the Investment and Research Department of ourpany after we signed this contract. Its mentionable that, this will be an important step for us to open the electronic technology market.


    He surprised me this time, Nian Junting knocked the desk with his fingers while hastening, Alright, lets start the meeting without him. An Lan, is there any problem with this contract? Those Japanese people are quite astute. I dont want them to y any trick in the contract.


    Ill read it through a couple of more times, said An Lan seriously.


    Nian Junting lowered his head. An Lan called for anotherwyer immediately, and then they chose a quiet area in the meeting room to sit down, started reading the contract andmunicating with each other in low voices.


    During this time, Nian Junting and Xiao Si had also been carefully reading the copy of the contract which had been tranted into Chinese.


    Luosang stood behind Nian Junting quietly. Yesterday, she had read nearly the whole contract in Japanese. So, when Nian Junting turned to page thirteen, she suddenly knitted her brows, then couldnt help but look at Mr. Jiang.


    Mr. Jiang was staring at the screen of hisptop, but would nce out of the corners of his eyes at Nian Junting from time to time. When he did that again, he identally made an eye-contact with Luosang.


    She was just a carer the eyes of Mr. Jiang, but when the reflection of sunlight shed across her sses, he automatically turned away, fixed his eyes on the screen again. His body seemed to be a little stiff.


    Luosang suddenly figured something out.


    The contract had many pages. Mr. Jiang made zero mistakes when tranting its content before page thirteen, but mistranted one word on page thirteen. That didnt seem like an ident. Luosang assumed he made that mistake on purpose.


    She didnt know the investment market well enough, but more or less, she knew a little about how profitable that market was, and those behind-the-scenes plots happening in it. Frankly speaking, it was constantly changing.


    This project would involve over a billion yuan. If Nian Juntingspany ever need to engage in awsuit for it, that enormous sum of money might be spent in vain.


    Luosang looked at Nian Junting with aplicated expression. She had to admit that when he was concentrated on working, his whole body would radiate a charming vibe of elegance andposure.


    These days, she had learned how much he valued this project. Because he often stayed up until midnight for it even though he still had difficulties in moving.


    He was born in a wealthy family, but from him, Luosang had seen the endeavor of a sessful man.


    Form some aspects, she did appreciate him and admire him.


    Mr. Nian, sorry Imte, at that moment, a slightly chubby man quickly walked in, saying, Just now, the principal of Chuanchi Gaisha insisted on having a video meeting with me. He told me that if youre happy with the contract, the owner of theirpany will fly over to sign it tomorrow.


    In such a hurry? Asked Nian Junting.

 Chapter 45. She Works for Me

    Chapter 45. She Works for Me


    Yeah, Chuanchi Gaisha is eager to inject new capital into their projects. Huang Haoyun grinned and said, Some otherpanies have also casted their eyes on them, so everyone was afraid that a long dy might cause unnecessary troubles. The contract is based on our negotiation before, and were at an advantage situation.


    An Lan walked over and said, Ive checked the contract very clearly; no problems found.


    Are you sure? asked Nian Junting.


    Weve known each other for years, said An Lan smilingly. Every time youve signed a contract for arge case, I was the one checking it. Has any problem ever urred?


    Alright, youre a respectedwyer. I believe that you can even spot even the most minor of mistakes, Xiao Si said. He then stood up and said, In this case, lets sign the contract tomorrow.


    Em Nian Junting lowered his head and said, The meeting is over


    Wait a low voice was heard from behind him. I think theres a problem with this contract.


    The people who were preparing to leave allid their eyes on the person who said that. The person was Luosang, wearing faded jeans, a thick ck jacket, and a pair of ck-rimmed sses. She was so humble-looking that some people in the meeting room didnt even know that she was there until now.


    A problem? Huang Haoyun was the first to respond and did so in a scornful tone, Who do you think you are? Are you even educated? Dont ther if you know nothing. Everyone else in this room is much higher educated than you.


    Nian Junting knitted his brows, as he was also displeased by Luosang. He was going to snap at Luosang, but after hearing Huang Haoyuns words, he warned him without thinking, Director Huang, mind your attitude. She works for me. Even though shes just my carer, its not your ce to talk to her like that. Please remember who you are.


    Huang Haoyuns face paled. He exined hurriedly, Im sorry, Mr. Nian. Im just feeling a little ufortable. As you said, shes just a carer, not an industry insider. She knows nothing about our business indeed


    Mr. Nian, I agree with Director Huang. An Lan turned around and said unpleasantly, My partner and I have read this contract together, and both of us think theres no problem about it. I think you really should restrain your employees. She cant question our expertise for no reason other than the fact that she works for you.


    Nian Juntings face darkened when he heard An Lan and Huang Haoyun. He red at Luosang, waiting for her to give a reasonable exnation.


    I didnt mean the tranted copy. I was talking about the Japanese contract, Luosang knew that she would be considered repulsive if she did this, but she insisted on saying it anyway.


    Japanese? Huang Haoyunughed out loud. A carer can read Japanese? Is this a joke? Lets go and not waste time in here.


    Who says that carers cant read Japanese? Luosang tightened her face, looked at Nian Junting straight in the eyes and said, Mr. Nian,st night, when you were reading the contract, I roughly read it through as well. On page 13, the article 21 is slightly different from the tranted copy. In the Chinese copy, Party A has no right to request, but in the Japanese copy, Party A does have the right to request.


    The look in Mr. Jiangs face changed slightly as he said, Ive worked over ten years as a trantor; how could I make such a simple mistake? Mr. Nian, I am one of your oldest employees. I started working here when you started thispany, and weve been through all sorts of ups and downs together. If you believe her, you would be questioning my expertise.

 Chapter 46. Once We Confirmed that Shes Wrong, Ill Fire Her Immediately

    Chapter 46. Once We Confirmed that She''s Wrong, I''ll Fire Her Immediately


    Alright, Mr. Jiang. I believe you, Huang Haoyun patted Mr. Jiang on his shoulder, then said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, you see, your carer has told us that she only roughly read it throughst night. She may know some Japanese, but shes not professional. And I think shes overconfident. Besides, who could have such a good memory? How can anyone memorize a contract after merely browsing through it? Not to mention processing all the information with twonguages at the same time. If shes really so capable, why is she working as a carer?


    Luosang ignored him, but continued talking to Nian Junting. Mr. Nian, I suggest you call for any other trantor in thepany to recheck this contract carefully. This isnt just an ordinary contract, but is rted to over ten billion yuan, so I think you should be cautious about it. Im no one, and my words dont carry much of weight, but by saying what Ive said, I wont benefit myself at all. So I have no reason to lie, she said, And, Mr. Jiang, if I were you, I would recheck my work immediately when someone questioned it, so I can know if I made a mistake or not, and I would never find fault with the one who questioned my work. After all, trantors need to stay humble and cautious.


    You Mr. Jiang shivered in anger, said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, did you hear her? Shes even criticizing me. You must find justice for me.


    Calm down. Nian Junting was also surprised by Luosangs courage. Facing so many burnishes elites, she wasnt showing any fear at all. On the contrary, she was brave enough to point out someones mistake. Lu Kang had worked for him for years, but still didnt have the gut to do the same.


    Nian Junting was certainly going to find out if Luosang was right or wrong. Inevitably, he was cautious and meticulous as a sessful businessman.


    Youre questioned by a carer today, so Ill surely find you some justice, Nian Junting picked up the two copies of the contract from the table and said calmly, How about this, you go find another trantor and let him or her retrante Article 21, so we can watch this overconfident woman p her own face and admit her own mistake.


    After saying that, he swung his arm backward and pped Luosang with the files, as if he was punishing her for Mr. Jiang.


    Luosang was a little angry, but also found it hrious. She now believed that capitalists were all like sly foxes.


    However, as he had defended her more or less earlier, she decided to tolerate the p.


    Mr. Nian I dont think thats necessary said Mr. Jiang with a strange expression, I think we can just forget about it


    Yeah, Mr. Nian said Huang Haoyun, All the trantor who majored in Japanese arent in thepany at the moment. They were all sent out, and cant get back soon


    Then well wait for them toe back. Dont worry, once we proved that shes wrong, Ill fire her immediately, said Nian Junting with a fake smile on his face. He grasped the weird expressions on the faces of Mr. Nian and Huang Haoyun, and then he nced at Xiao Si quickly.


    Xiao Si stood out immediately, said, In this case, we can finish here. You dont need to be so anxious. Mr. Nian has promised you an exnation, so hell definitely give you one.


    Junting, lets go to your office. I need to talk to you about something, he then turned to Nian Junting and continued.


    Em, Nian Junting nodded slightly.


    Then, he let Luosang wheeled him back into his office. Mr. Jiang followed behind him, calling Mr. Nian, but he ignored himpletely.


    Once the door of his office was closeted, his expressionless face was immediately upied by coldness. He turned back, stared at Luosang with dagger-sharp eyes while asking her, Can you really read Japanese?


    Yeah I spent a year in Japan, Luosang knew what he was going to ask, so she responded calmly, And I have a good memory.


    Nian Junting and Xiao Si nced at each other. After that, Xiao Si said, just now, you questioned Mr. Jiang in front of so many people. If youre wrong, you may really need to leave without getting paid. Luosang had never seen such a serious look in Xiao Sis face.

 Chapter 47. Is That How You Do Your Work? Or, Did You Want to Con Me?

    Chapter 47. Is That How You Do Your Work? Or, Did You Want to Con Me?


    Luosang smiled and said, Actually, I hesitated for a while before saying that out loud. After all, its none of my business. I pointed that out so I could live with my conscience. Im eighty percent sure that Im right. I believe that youve felt the strange attitude of Mr. Jiang and Director Huang too.


    Alright, you can stay out of this now. Go out and peel grapefruits for me. Youre not allowed toe back in until youve got me a full te of peeled fruit, Nian Junting ordered while he stared at her.


    Luosang turned and left the room without saying another word.


    After the door was closed, Xiao Si said with a serious look, Shes right. I didnt suspect Director Huang before, but just now in the meeting room, hes been trying to help Mr. Jiang, and thats weird. They have worked together quite often before, but they shouldnt be that close. And as the project leader, he acted strangely incautious when someone questioned the contract.


    You felt that too. Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and said, You take the contract, go find someone from the other departments to retrante it now. Also, check Mr. Jiang and Director Huangs bank ounts.


    Will do, Xiao Si responded.


    On the sixteenth floor in a room with closed shutters, Mr. Jiang was anxiously walking about. Soon, his phone rang, and he picked it up immediately. He said, Director Huang, you saw Mr. Nians attitude just now. Hell definitely get someone to retrante the contract as soon as possible. What should we do now? You made me do that.


    Dont try to pass the buck to me once theres a problem. You took that money yourself, said Huang Haoyun on the other side of the phone. It should have gone well, but who could know that that woman could read Japanese and would spot it? Now you can only go upstairs to admit your mistake to Mr. Nian. Tell him that you didnt do it on purpose. Theres no other way now.


    Thats a very serious mistake. I might get fired, said Mr. Jiang, panicking.


    Getting fired is better than going to prison for business fraud, right? Dont you know Mr. Nian well enough? We need to calm him down for now, andter, well each take half of that money and leave the country. That is the best solution, said Huang Haoyun coldly. If you rat me out now, well both lose everything.


    Mr. Jiang threw his phone to the ground with a dark face.


    At eleven oclock in the morning, when Nian Junting was talking to Lu Kang, Mr. Jiang suddenly went into his office in a panic, saying, Mr. Nian, Ive rechecked the contract in my office just now. I did mistrante that word on Page 13. Your carer was right. I never thought Id make such a big mistake. Im truly sorry.


    Nian Junting lowered his head to look at his watch, then tapped the watch with his finger while raising his head, staring at Mr. Jiang with a pair of cold eyes. Forty minutes had passed since you left the meeting room, he said. Do you, an experienced trantor, need a whole forty minutes to discover that small mistake?


    Sorry, Im just too confident, Mr. Jiang said, blushing. I worked until four or five in the morningst night. I was too tired, so I missed it. I promise, I wont make the same mistake again.


    Do you think that I can still trust you? Nian Junting suddenly grabbed a pen by his hand and threw it at Mr. Jiang. Then he continued wrathfully and said, If my carer didnt luckily discover it, if we signed that contract without knowing that there was a mistake in it, what kind of situation would you have lead ourpany into? Have you ever even thought about that? Were talking about over a billion yuan now. You people can just leave, but Id have to clean up your mess!


    I trusted you so much. I gave you all the important trantions. But is that how you do your job? Or, did you n to con me? he continued.

 Chapter 48. Luosang, Who Are You?

    Chapter 48. Luosang, Who Are You?


    Mr. Jiang was so frightened that he didnt even dare to dodge the flying pen. I wouldnt dare to do that! Ive been loyal and devoted to you the whole time! Ive been following your steps! Mr. Nian, please give me another chance.


    Shut up, Nian Juntings cold voice contained the dignified bearing of a sessful man, Pack your things now, then leave.


    Mr. Jiang paused shortly, then said in disbelief, All these years, Ive only made one mistake. You cant fire me just like that!


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and responded ragingly with, I hate your attitude. Thepany cant afford to let that fatal kind of mistake to happen. Ive known you for years, so what happened today wont spread in the circle of trantors. Piss off!


    Seeing that, Lu Kang pushed Mr. Jiang out of the office directly.


    Nian Junting breathed deeply for a few times in a raw to calm himself down, and then said to Lu Kang in a deep voice, Ask Luosang toe in.


    Soon, Luosang came in with a te of peeled grapefruits.


    She was in the secretarial pool just now, so she heard what happened in Nian Juntings office.


    Mr. Nian, your fruit, she politely ced the te on his desk.


    Nian Junting raised his sharp eyes to look at her from head to toe. It was the first time that he gazed at her with such aplicated look. The sunlight poured in through the windows, lit her entire body. She was still wearing her never-changing dark-colored clothes. At that moment, he suddenly realized that since the beginning, she had been so polite and quiet, had never panicked or shown any fear, and she was neither conceited nor rash.


    Many others always looked scared when facing him, but she was different.


    Mr. Jiang just came here. You were right, there was a mistake in that contract indeed, said Nian Junting with a meaningful look in his eyes, You did me a great favor.


    I just did something that I think is right, Luosang smiled faintly and said.


    She was average-looking, but somehow, Nian Junting felt that she was stunning.


    He closed his eyes when he had that feeling. After erasing the ridiculous thoughts in his head, he reopened his eyes to look at her again; those eyes were like a deep pool of spring. Luosang, who are you? He asked.


    Me? Luosang paused shortly, then responded with, Im your carer.


    Dont you think you know too much as a carer? Nian Junting stared at her and continued, You know how to make tea, how to cook, how to peel fruits, and you even mastered Japanese.


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched slightly.


    Youre making peeling fruits and cooking sound like a big deal. I think almost everyone can do that, she thought.


    I remembered that I had only leafed through that emailst night. Can you remember everything you read? Nian Junting tilted his head and murmured.


    The people who could remember exactly everything they read were too rare.


    You misunderstood me. You did browse the file quicklyst night, but when you were having fruits and making the phone call, you stopped on a few pages for a quite long while. I memorized that part of the contract at the time, and page 13 just happened to be one of those pages. I only remember the contents of about four or five pages, she said.


    So, Im lucky. If the mistake was on one of the other pages, you might not be able to spot it, Nian Junting knitted his brows, drowned in his dread as he was imagining the possible consequences.


    Youre right, Luosang nodded and said, I cant remember every word I read. I just have a slightly better memory than some others do.


    You have such a good memory. And, youve spent a year in Japan, and you speak Japanese, so I think you have no reason to sink into the carers job. Nian Junting leaned against the back of the chair while thinking. Apparently, he was having some strange thoughts again.

 Chapter 49. Nian Junting Suddenly Feel Tender and Protective Toward Luosang

    Chapter 49. Nian Junting Suddenly Feel Tender and Protective Toward Luosang


    My Japanese skill is good indeed, but I dont have any certifications, so nopany would want to hire me, Luosang said. She dropped her dim eyes, then said, My family used to be wealthy. But something happened when I was in college. After that, my father went to prison, and I dropped out of the college.


    Ah Nian Junting, stunned a little, asked, What about your mother?


    My mother divorced my father and married another man, Luosang bit her lip slightly, then responded with, Now they have a son. I dont think my mother would want me to disrupt her life.


    Nian Junting suddenly felt tender and protective towards Luosang in an indescribable way. He felt sorry for her because she was a thirty-year-old woman who was away from home, friendless and helpless, with no one to rely on; not even her parents could support her.


    When I recover, you cane to work for Shengting as a trantor. Thepany will provide free food and amodation. Youll be on business trips a lot, and sometimes it can be quite fun. Your monthly payment will be twelve-thousand yuan. Compared with certifications and diplomas, Id rather believe in abilities, he said.


    Luosang paused in surprise. She would have loved to ept this offer back when she just came to Xia City. But now, she was preparing to continue her university studies already.


    This Im afraid Ill have to say no to your kindness once again, she said.


    She understood that even if she got her bachelors degree, she might still not be able to find a job that paid better than what Nian Junting just offered.


    However, she was kicked out of the dubbing circle by some other people. Because of them, she wasnt able to do what she liked anymore, and she wasnt going to ept that as a final result. And her father was framed


    She had to return, to get back on track andplete her dream.


    She wasnt meant to be an ordinary office worker.


    Nian Junting gazed at her for a while, then sighed. He nodded knowingly and said, I know, youre worrying that your feelings for me might deepen if you work in mypany. Dont worry. Shengting is argepany, so you may not be able to see me a lot. Youll forget me slowly in time. And many talented single men are working here, plus your social circle will change, meaning youll have more of a chance to find your other half as you would be among great people. They could not bepared with me, but theyre good enough to match you.


    He couldnt think of any other reason for her to refuse such a generous offer.


    Luosang felt helpless, wondering why he believed so firmly that she was in love with him.


    Seeing that she remained silent, Nian Junting thought that his words might hurt her feelings. He didnt want that to happen, as she had just done him a big favor. So he hurriedly cleared his throat and continued, But of course, youre a good person. Its just that I dont want to be with a woman who is older than me, and I am interested someone already.


    Luosang sighed silently. Which poor girl is that? She wondered.


    Mr. Nian, I appreciate your kind offer, but I cant ept it. I have no ns to stay in Xia City for long. Ill leave when you recover, said Luosang apologetically.


    Nian Juntings face darkened a little when he heard her, but then was upied by a struggling look. I remember that you said you have no family left in your hometown. Is it Are your feelings to me so deep that you cant even stand to stay in the same city with me?


    Luosang felt so embarrassed when she heard that. A whileter, she closed her eyes and nodded.


    Forget it; just let him think whatever he wants, she thought.


    Nian Junting opened his mouth slightly, but didnt say a word. He felt a little ufortable. Quite a whileter, he said very sadly, In this case, Ill have to respect your decision. But this time, youve helped me a lot, so Ill aid you financially when you leave by giving you an added bonus.


    Thank you, Luosangs eyes glowed. This time, she didnt refuse him.


    After all, she did need money.

 Chapter 50. Dont Dream About it, Shes Mine

    Chapter 50. Don''t Dream About it, She''s Mine


    When Luosang left the office, Lu Kang went back in, prepared to continue reporting to Nian Junting. However, Nian Junting suddenly signed deeply and said, Sometimes, it can be a burden to be well liked by other people, if youre too good.


    Mr. Nian Who are you talking about? Asked Lu Kang.


    Luosang, Nian Junting tilted his head and continued, Do you think shell give up on marrying somebody else after knowing me?


    Lu Kang was confused.


    He really wanted to yell out his questionWhy do you think she likes you so much?


    However, Lu Kang would never dare to say that to Nian Junting as he was the boss.


    At dinner time, Luosang came out of the kitchen with two dishes.


    Since they returned from the family house, Nian Junting would always send Luosang into the kitchen to cook for all sorts of reasons. Luosang believed that Nian Junting was doing everything he could to develop her surplus value.


    Xiao Si came in and saw her, so he asked, Eh? I thought Sister Lan is responsible for cooking. Have you reced her?


    Sister Lan was overworkedst year, so I decided to let her rest for a while. Nian Junting who was sitting by the dining table and preparing to have meal raised his head to answer Xiao Sis question.


    Sister Lan silently rolled her eyes while setting the table. She wasnt overworked. She had said nothing about that. The truth was, after the New Year vacation, Nian Junting suddenly pointed out that she worked too hard for no reason, and insisted on letting Luosang cook his meals.


    You want her to cook for you. Cant you tell her that? Why do you have to use me as an excuse? Thought Sister Lan.


    Overworked? Xiao Si gave Sister Lan a few nces, then said in confusion, Really? I felt that Sister Lan has put on some more weight.


    Really? No one ever thought about my feelings? Sheined silently.


    What are you here for? Nian Junting frowned unpleasantly and said, What the hell is wrong with Mr. Jiang?


    I came here to talk to you about that, Xiao Si hurriedly dragged a chair to sit down, then angrily pounded the table and said, Earlier today, I sent my people to tail Mr. Jiang after he left thepany. As soon as he got home, he and his families started packing. They bought the ne tickets for tonight to America. Ive also found out that he and Huang Haoyun have both run the USs immigrant visa before New Year. And, three days ago, ten million yuan was sent to Mrs. Huangs bank ount, from Tokyo. Apparently, he was bought off by people from Chuanchi Gaisha. He always likes to make profits in troubled situations, and weve been turning a blind eye on him, as long as he doesnt go too far. After all, no one should demand absolute purity in our industry. But this time, he tried to sell ourpany. What surprised me more, Mr. Jiang is involved in this too.


    Mr. Jiang is a senior member of thepany. Were both trusted him. I think Huang Hiaoyun must know that he couldnt do that on his own, so he bought Mr. Jiang, Nian Juntings cold eyes showed disappointment as he said, Ive been treating him well these years. And, I never thought that I should take precautions against him. The me is on me this time.


    Thanks to Sister Luosang, they failed, Xiao Si suddenly raised his head to stare straight at Luosang with admiration, saying, Sister Luosang, I really admire you now. If youre a few years younger than me, Id definitely chase you.


    Sister Luosoang


    Luosang thought that Xiao Si might want to beat her if he knows about her real age, as he had now been seeing her as an elder sister.


    She sat beside Nian Junting with a faint smile on her face, silently picking fish bones for him.


    Xiao Si was really jealous of Nian Junting. He too wanted a woman to take care of him like this, to pick fish bones and peel fruits for him


    Sister Luosang, I really want to take you home, he said.


    Dont even dream about it. Shes mine, said Nian Junting, his handsome face darkened.


    Luosang blinked, feeling speechless.

 Chapter 51. The Man She Loves was Being Harassed, Yet She Isnt Anxious About it at All

    Chapter 51. The Man She Loves was Being Harassed, Yet She Isn''t Anxious About it at All


    Xiao Si gave a little start, then said, Shes your temporary carer. When did she be yours? I think youll recover in half a month, tops.


    Can we talk about the business? Nian Junting didnt want to think about the fact that Luosang would be leaving soon, so he said, Go to the airport to stop Mr. Jiang and his family as soon as possible. We cant let them leave the country. And you need to collect the relevant evidence and contact the Chaunchi Gaisha people; tell them that we were nning to take a stake in theirpany with 1.6 billion yuan, but now, we will do it with no more than 1.2 billion, and we want absolute shareholding. If they dont agree, we will make publish all the evidence that proves the fact that they tried to buy our employees by illegal means, then hand them to the police.


    Brilliant! Xiao Si pounded the table in praise, then said, Chuanchi Gaisha will fall into disrepute if the public knows that theyve done such a shameless thing. Plus, the otherpanies in the industry wouldnt dare work with them for now. Even if otherpanies have the intention to work with them, they would demand a very low price, and Chuanchi Gaisha would lose more than they could gain.


    As for Huang Haoyun and Mr. Jiang, we dont need to do anything to them. The Chuanchi Gaosha people will hate them more than we do and will definitely deal with them. Nian Junting picked up his chopsticks and began enjoying the fish in his rice bowl. A dim, yet sharp, beam of light shed across his eyes as he said, We will save four hundred million yuan, and thatll be a profit from this misfortune.


    Tingting, you are so evil. But I like your evilness, Xiao Siughed. He then quickly had the dinner and left as he had something urgent to do.


    During the meal, Luosang started admiring Nian Junting.


    He was narcissistic indeed, but was also was a scarily shrewd businessman.


    Luosang now felt that she, herself, was an idiot when she tried to run Xu Pictures before. No wonder Yi Jingxi and the senior members of thepany could con her so easily.


    Xiao Si was efficient. He soon made contact with Chuanchi Gaosha. The Chuanchi Gaosha people said that they would take a few days to consider the matter, but Nian Junting was eighty percent sure that they would take the deal.


    Nian Junting was in a good mood after that. The next day, he went to the hospital for re-examination, and the results were good. So the same day, he tried to stand up in the rehabilitation treatment room.


    He was a special patient, so the hospital sent a young and pretty female doctor to keep himpany the whole time.


    Luosang was happy about that, because she could finally have some free time. She sat in the rehabilitation treatment room, reading materials for the test which would take ce when the new school term begins on her phone. The materials were sent to her by Professor Ma. Thanks to Professor Mas reference, she was able to continue her university study at the Ximei College of Communication. Professor Ma had known her father for thirty years, and was the only person who believed that her father was innocent after he went to prison.


    Without Professor Ma, Luosang wouldnt have even had a chance to go back to college.


    She was concentrated on reading and didnt even hear the coy words that the female doctor had been saying to Nian Junting the entire time.


    Nian Junting suffered an immense amount of pain during the rehabilitation training. At the moment, all he wanted was quietness. However, the female doctor had been constantly trying to get close to him, and that made him more and more agitated.


    Mr. Nian, youre so strong! You managed to stand up in such a short while! Oh my, you actually made two steps Youre amazing Mr. Nian, what do you enjoy doing after work? You have such a great body shape, so I assume you work out a lot said the female doctor.


    While sensing the female doctors unknown strong perfume, Nian Junting turned back to look at Luosang and found that she was looking at her phone. He didnt understand why wasnt she anxious at all when the man she loved was being harassed


    He believed that any other woman would have tried anything they could to send the female doctor away already if they were Luosang.

 Chapter 52. Youre At Least Not so Dramatical when Trying to Take Advantage of Me

    Chapter 52. You''re At Least Not so Dramatical when Trying to Take Advantage of Me


    Nian Juntings temples throbbed as his patience had gone out. He swung an arm and pushed the female doctor away, without showing any gentleness. She female doctor was on high heels, so she fell over her own feet. After that, Nian Junting narrowed his eyes, looked down at her and said, Im here to do the rehabilitation training, not to look for women. You should respect yourself.


    The familiar angry yell interrupted Luosangs reading and made her raise her head to see what was happening. She then saw the poor female doctor sitting on the ground, while Nian Junting was standing straight, one hand holding the handrail, eyes radiating coldness.


    Mr. Nian Im sorry, I was just trying to divert your attention. Im truly sorry The female doctors eyes turned red instantly. She tried to garner his sympathy, but before she finished, Nian Junting interrupted her again.


    Stop crying. I hate women crying. And, the room is full of your perfume. I dont want to do my rehabilitation training here, he said, then turned to Luosang and gave an order,


    Luosang,e here and help me.


    Luosang hurriedly stood up to support him with her hands. In the meanwhile, she saw the crying female doctor out of the corners of her eyes and sighed silently. You could try that to any man, but sadly, you chose this one who has absolutely no tenderness to women, she thought.


    On their way back, Nian Junting called Lu Kang in the car with a sullen face, By whatever means, I need you to build a rehabilitation treatment room in my vi ASAP. I need it before dark. Prepare all the devices for me.


    Luosang listened to that silently, thinking, Hes wealthy indeed. He doesnt seem to care how much will it cost to build a rehabilitation treatment room.


    What were you doing just now? After hanging up the phone, Nian Junting stared at Luosang unpleasantly and asked.


    Eh?


    When I was doing the rehabilitation training, you were looking at your phone. Arent you ashamed? Youre my carer, and I paid you, Nian Junting used her unhappily, then added, From now on, I want you to help me doing my rehabilitation training.


    Luosang blinked, said, But I wear perfume too, and you alwaysin about me taking advantage of you


    Your perfume isnt as disgusting as hers, and Youre at least not so dramatical when trying to take advantage of me. While speaking, Nian Junting looked at her proudly.


    Luosang silently turned her face away, wondering what kind of impression she had left him with.


    Lu Kang was incredibly efficient. Before dark, the room on the first floor of Nian Juntings vi was turned into a rehabilitation treatment room with all needed devices, even more luxurious than the one in the hospital.


    Maybe because Nian Junting had already known how good it felt to stand up again, he trained hard even if it was difficult.


    After dinner, Luosang helped Sister Lan tidying. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Nian Junting stood up slowly on his own, both hands holding the handrails.


    It was the first time for her to see him on his feet. Since she saw him the first time, he had been sitting all the time, so she never noticed how tall he was before. He was over six feet, wearing a blue sports suit. He had an imposing appearance that made him look like a model. Not to mention the perfect shape of his side face which was formed under the whitemp light by his full forehead, straight nose, lips which were pressed tightly together, and his beautiful chin.


    He was more charming on his feet than in the wheelchair.


    Luosang had been facing him all these days, but still, she was distracted a little by his handsome face at that moment.


    But of course, that was just her, a youngdys appreciation for a beautiful creature.


    She even forgot to walk to him.


    When Nian Junting reached the ends of the handrails, his face suddenly twisted in pain, and his upstanding body began shaking.

 Chapter 53. What Should We Do?

    Chapter 53. What Should We Do?


    Be careful Luosang hurriedly rushed over to hold Nian Juntings arms, but it was toote. He was about to fall to the ground. So she closed her eyes and held him to support him. After shambling backwards a few steps, her back thudded against the ground.


    She sensed a piercing pain from the back of her head and waist, and heard a buzzing noise from her brain. Quite a whileter, she recovered from the pain to find that Nian Junting was lying on her. His face was next to her neck, and she could feel his warm lips rubbing against her ear.


    At that moment, the pain had nearly disabled her from thinking. In eight days, the school term would begin. If Nian Juntings injuries got worse, she would most likely need to stay and keep looking after him, because ording to the contract, she could only leave after he recovered. That was the reason why she risked her own safety to support him with her own body.


    Mr. Nian, are you okay? She asked.


    Em, Im alright. I fell on you, so Im not hurt, Nian Juntings voice was heard from next to her ear. His breath blew across her earlobe, numbed her neck, and made her feel quite ufortable.


    So Can you please get up? She said.


    Nian Junting tried very hard to raise his head. He widened his eyes because of the pain. His handsome face was only an inch away from her nose. I cant. My spine hurts so badly once I tried to move, he said with a dry voice.


    He breathed in her face while talking,pletely disabling her from staying calm.


    When facing such an incredibly handsome face, eyes to eyes, nose to nose, she couldnt help but feel her heart thump, even though she had absolutely no feelings for him.


    Dont stare at me like a predator. Nian Junting snorted coldly when he saw the glow in her eyes.


    Luosang felt embarrassed. She hurriedly turned her face away, chest heaving quickly.


    Soon, he felt a stream of warmth from inside his body. Can your chest stop heaving? Now isnt the time for you to allure me.


    How can I stand that now? Heined silently.


    Hearing his words, Luosang nearly choked on her own saliva. Even though she had been trying to stay calm, her face blushed in anger. Youre lying upon me, so Im losing my breath. Thats why my chest is heaving so intensely. Do you understand? she said.


    Nian Junting watched her lips move. From this very short distance, he found that her lips were moist and full and looked like cherries, even though the weather was dry. Normally, her facial skin looked lifeless, but now, it was pink, smooth, and wless. It made him want to bite it.


    He had seen many women at her age, but only a few of them had as skin as good she did without wearing any makeup.


    He felt a little confused, but before he could do any further thinking, Luosang suddenly shouted Sister Lan.


    She called Sister Lan seven or eight times, but no response was heard.


    Thats bad. Sister Lan must be doing the dishes in the kitchen now. She cant hear us. Luosang felt anxious. She had to maintain this strange pose without daring to move at all, as she worried that once she moved, Nian Juntings spine, which was finally recovering, would be hurt again.


    What should we do then? I dont want to you keep taking advantage of me like this, said Nian Junting with a muffled voice.


    Whos taking advantage? Hearing his words, Luosang wished that she didnt try to save him. How about this; Ill move slowly. Let me know if your spine hurts..


    Em Nian Junting pressed his lips together impatiently.

 Chapter 54. I Dont Need Your Compliment

    Chapter 54. I Don''t Need Your Compliment


    Luosang put her both hands on the ground to support her body, then tried as hard as she could to move slowly forward. But before long, Nian Junting hissed in pain and said It hurts with a low voice.


    He must be suffering a real pain, as his voice even sounded a little like a sad little boy.


    Luosang stopped moving and raised her head to look at Nian Junting. But when she saw him, she nearly passed out in shock.


    Before, she was face-to-face with Nian Junting, but as she had moved a little, his face was almost buried in her breasts now.


    Did you do that on purpose? She asked through clenched teeth.


    What are you talking about? My back hurts like hell. He put half of his face against her chest, sensed a faint aroma that began to stimte his body.


    He never thought that she was so busty. He had already begun feeling hot, but her chest was still heaving and making him feel more ufortable. In especial, some undesired change seemed to happen to the private part of his body.


    He silently told himself that he wouldnt let that happen no matter what.


    It was exinable that his body reacted when she sponge-bathed him earlier, but if that happens again now, it would be really hard to exin, because they were merely clinging to each other at the moment.


    After all, she wasnt some rude and horny man.


    However, his body didnt obey his will.


    Realizing what happened, she widened her eyes in disbelief. You she said.


    You cant me me. Its not my fault that you have such huge breasts, Nian Junting knew what she was going to say, so he med on her before she could say a word.


    Luosang was so angry that she even wanted to kick him. So youre saying that its my fault?


    Men always cant resist women with huge breasts. He made it sounded so reasonable, andpletely forgot about the fact that he just told himself to behave with grace.


    But Im still a virgin, Luosang really started to get a little angry.


    Nian Junting remained silent for a short while, then said, Maybe you should just push me away. In the worst case, Ill take a longer time to recover. He felt a little guilty indeed.


    Luosang really wanted to do that, but she could only give up. Because her school term was about to start, and she couldnt afford to spend more time looking after him.


    Never mind, I think Sister Lan is finishing with the dishes, she said. She even wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears.


    Nian Junting suddenly had aplicated feeling. He didnt expect Luosang to love him so deeply, that shed rather letting him take advantage of her than worsening his injuries.


    Can you take it back? Said Luosang with a very low voice, as she truly felt a pain while being poked by that part of his body.


    It was the first time in her life to experience something like this.


    I did nothing more than holding him. How horny is this man? She thought.


    I cant responded Nian Junting helplessly.


    Luosang was speechless.


    The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward. Nian Junting felt quite ufortable as well, so he said, You can think it as I have a pen in my pocket.


    She clenched her teeth and said, Can a pen be so thick?


    I dont need yourpliment, he sounded proud and confident.


    If Luosang had hypertension, it would have attacked by now.


    Was that apliment?


    As she remained silent, Nian Junting asked her, Are you upset?


    Mr. Nian, do you always think things in a different way than the others do? Luosang couldnt help but respond sarcastically. How could she be not upset when a man was lying upon her like this?


    Her chest heaved, brushed against his nose. He swallowed his saliva, said, Do you know Newton and Einstein? They all thought things in different ways than the others did.


    Im notplimenting you, she said.

 Chapter 55. Sorry, I Didnt Mean to Interrupt You

    Chapter 55. Sorry, I Didn''t Mean to Interrupt You


    I know, Im just trying to tell you that smart people are always different from the ordinary ones. Actually, we just see things clearer than ordinary people do in a smarter way, said Nian Junting with a deep, proud voice.


    Luosang felt speechless.


    Why dont you say anything? Dont you agree with me, said Nian Junting, Have you seen another man whos as young and sessful as I am? He sounded a little unpleasant.


    I admit, youre capable at work. But your great family ground is the main reason for your sess, said Luosang.


    Have you ever met a man with higher achievements than me at my age? He asked.


    Luosang spent a short while thinking carefully. She had a few names in her mind, but all of those men were in their thirties or forties.


    Her silence made Nian Junting even prouder. Many people with good family backgrounds are just loafing around; their lives are all about having fun and going to parties. Some of them are too arrogant orzy. As the old saying goes, a rich family cannot maintain its wealth for more than three generations. I think that made sense, he said.


    Luosang suddenly thought of herself.


    Her grandparents were both famous intellectuals, her father build the family business, but she lost Xu Pictures to


    Why do you look so unhappy? He raised his head from her chest, stared at her sad face, and asked.


    The corners Luosangs lips twitched. Why havent you taken it slightly back yet?


    Nian Junting paused. His attention was already diverted a little, but just as she reminded him, that part of his body was aroused again.


    I said, stopplimenting me, he said.


    I didnt, she said.


    Youreplimenting me for being able tost longer in bed, arent you? He said.


    Luosang raised her head and closed her eyes, wishing for a thunderbolt to fall on her and kill her.


    Why hasnt Sister Lan showed up yet? she thought.


    Perhaps God had heard her pray as sge finally heard the sound of footsteps from outside.


    Sister Lan, Sister Lan, help! she hurriedly shouted out loud.


    Luosang, what happened? Sister Lan asked, pushing the door open. She blushed when she saw that Nian Junting was lying upon Luosang with his face buried in her breasts. She hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands and said, Ahyaya, sorry, sorry, I didnt mean to interrupt you. I thought you were calling me just now. I think I misheard it.


    After saying that, she quickly shut the door.


    Luosang was speechless again.


    He Run! Get your ass in here! Nian Junting yelled in rage. Cant you see that I just fell?


    After about ten seconds, Sister Lan opened the door in hesitation and asked uncertainly, Mr. Nian, did you really fall?


    Luosang wanted to cry. She even began to worry about Sister Lans IQ. Sister Lan, if you dont help me, I might die.


    Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood. Blushingly, she ran to them and helped Nian Junting sit in his wheelchair with quite some effort.


    After getting up from Luosang, Nian Junting hurriedly dropped his arm to cover his private area, as he didnt want Sister Lan to see and feel embarrassed.


    Fortunately, Sister Lan didnt notice that at all. After helping Nian Junting up, she went to help Luosang. Earlier, Luosang let Nian Junting fall on her, so when getting up, many areas of her body ached severely, made her hiss in pain.


    Sister Lan lifted her hair, checked her head, and said, Theres a big lump on the back of your head.


    I think we have some liniment in this house. Go get her some. Recalling that Luosang didnt mention anything about the pain just now, Nian Junting showed guiltiness and other indescribable feelings in his eyes.


    Mr. Nian, are you hurt? asked Sister Lan.


    Nian Junting shook his head, then told her to apply some medicine to Luosangs head.

 Chapter 56. Hes Treating You Differently than Us

    Chapter 56. He''s Treating You Differently than Us


    On the first floor of the vi, in Sister Lans room. The door was closed. Luosang lifted her sweater to expose her waist and back. Her skin was snow-white, and her waist was slim.


    Sister Lan paused for a few seconds when she walked up behind Luosang with the liniment. Then, she took some liniment to apply on the bruise on Luosangs side waist, found that Luosangs skin was as tender as that of a baby.


    Luosang, youre not thirty, are you? Said Sister Lan.


    Luosang gave a start.


    Sister Lan smiled and continued, I am a woman too, and Ive gone through what you are experiencing. In some respects, I know more than some men do. You said that youre thirty, but, which thirty-year-old woman can have such good skin? My daughter is in her twenties, but I feel your skin is even better than hers. You see, were both doing tough jobs, and often need to stay up. If youre not young, you must be taking good care of your skin, but I havent seen you do that a lot.


    Luosang never thought that the ham-handed Sister Lan would suddenly be so smart. I um Im twenty-two actually. You know, the younger we are, the easier we can be taken advantage of, especially us carers. Thats why I lied about my age. I did it to avoid some unnecessary troubles. Besides, people usually consider older people more experienced than younger people.


    I get it, Sister Lan sighed and said, When I just started working, Ive met some male employers who liked to take advantage of me too. They behaved properly when their wives were at home, but once their wives left, theyd show their real faces. That was really disgusting. And, if you told their wives about what they did, those women would use you for alluring their husbands. Fortunately, Im luckily hired by Mr. Nian. Hes a good man actually. All these years, Ive never seen him bringing strange women home. I think itll be fine even if you told him about your real age.


    Luosang shook her head without thinking, then said, I wont. The owner of the Nursing Care Center took a risk to help me lying about my real age. It might affect thepany in a bad way if other people know about this. Besides, Ill be leaving soon, and I think Ill never see him again after that. So I think he doesnt need to know my real age.


    Do you really think so? Sister Lan smiled, lowered her voice and said, Luosang, Ive been taking care of Mr. Nian for years. Based on what I know about him, hes treating you differently than us. You see, he let you sponge-bath him. And just now, he asked me to get you some medicine after you two fell together like that, without being angry about you taking advantage of him. If he knows that youre younger than him, you two might have a chance to be together.


    Luosang found Sister Lans words both funny and annoying. She didnt expect Sister Lan to actually think of that possibility. Come on, Im a carer, so all I have done for him was just a part of my job. And just now, I saved him, and I was the one who had been taken advantage of, she said.


    Anyway, ording to my experience, youre different to him, said Sister Lan assuredly, Before, a female secretary often came here to deliver files to him. One day, he was taking a nap, and the female secretary took the chance to lie on his chest. As a result, he dragged her out of the vi and fired her. If you stay, you may have a chance to be Mrs. Nian, and thats a chance that many girls are dreaming about.


    No, no, Luosang shook her head and said, Sister Lan, please dont tell anyone about that. Ive never thought about marrying into a wealthy family. And I dont think being a wealthy mans wife is an easy job. I think Mr. Nian needs to find a girl who shares the same kind of family background with him to be his future wife.


    She also believed that Mr. Nian was very different from usual people, and could drive her crazy if she stays with him for long.


    Youre right though, Sister Lan seemed to be a little disappointed.


    She liked Luosang, and shed like to watch a beautiful story about an ordinary girl marrying into a wealthy family.

 Chapter 57. It Should be Clear That I am a Woman

    Chapter 57. It Should be Clear That I am a Woman


    After applying the medicine to her bruises, Luosang went upstairs. She knocked on Nian Juntings door, then walked into the master bedroom. Nian Junting was sitting by the tea table with a macadamia nut in his hand. It took you quite a while. Is it bad? Should I call a doctor?


    We spent some time to rub the liniment in. No need to call a doctor, because I feel much better now. Luosang walked up to him and said, Would you like some macadamias? Let me shell it for you.


    No. Nian Junting threw the macadamia nut back into the te on the tea table and said, Youre hurt; I should let you rest.


    Thank you Luosang was ttered by the rarely shown kindness of her boss.


    Nian Junting curved his thin lips into a smile, then pointed at the drawer of the tea table and said, Take out that thing in there.


    Luosang bent over to open the drawer and saw an exquisite gift box lying in it. A series of English words were printed on the box. The one at the bottom was chocte.


    At a nce, she recognized it as a box of limited edition Belgium chocte. The small box would have cost nearly a hundred thousand yuan. She once wanted to try it, but then gave up because of its high price. You like chocte? she asked.


    Hes so picky, she thought.


    Nian Junting snorted scornfully and said, Who would like this girly kind of snack? My aunt brought this back from abroad. I dont like it. I want you to eat it.


    Luosang was stunned. This I cant take itIts too expensive she stuttered.


    If she ate that chocte, she would feel like she would have eaten money.


    Expensive? Nian Junting carelessly raised his brows and asked, How expensive can a box of choctes be?


    Luosang rolled her eyes in her heart, then responded seriously with, If my guess is correct, this box of chocte would have costed at least ny thousand yuan.


    Is ny thousand yuan expensive? asked Nian Junting calmly.


    Luosang was really speechless. She felt that her poorness had limited her imagination. Its not expensive for you, but its almost a years ie for us. I think you should save it for Nian Xi.


    Nian Junting picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, She doesnt like sweet things.


    But I still cant have it


    Bang!


    Nian Junting heavily put the teacup back on the tea table and said, I said eat it. You should cut the crap and do as I say.


    Earlier, you used me of having too good of a diet while I was eating tofu, and said that I could only have cabbage. But now, youre letting me eat such an expensive box of chocte. Will you take money out of my sry for the chocte? asked Luosang calmly.


    Am I that stingy? Nian Junting responded angrily.


    Arent you? Luosang snorted silently and thought.


    Are you even a woman? Nian Junting frowned and continued, Arent women supposed to be happy when receiving chocte?


    Im a woman, and I think youve felt it clearly back in the rehabilitation room, said Luosang with a low voice. And I think that normally, a man would give a woman chocte as a gift only when he wants to tell her that he likes her.


    Are you testing me? Nian Junting raised a brow and asked, Do you think I like you?


    Luosang felt strange under his gaze. No, no, Id never dare to think of that, she said, shaking her head.


    Good, snorted Nian Junting, Im giving you the choctes because you saved me just now. Also because Ive had it for so long that I think itll expire soon if no ones gonna eat it.


    Ah, Luosang now understood why and was relieved from the pressure. Then, can I share it with Sister Lan?


    No, he said.


    Why not? she asked.


    Nian Junting opened his mouth, but paused.


    He wasnt clear about that either. He just subconsciously didnt want Luosang to share the choctes with Sister Lan. He only wanted her to have it, no one else.


    Shes fat already. Do you want to increase her blood sugar and blood pressure by giving her chocte? Youre such an evil woman, he said.


    Luosang, once again, felt speechless.

 Chapter 58. You Want to Sell What I Gave You?

    Chapter 58. You Want to Sell What I Gave You?


    Luosang didnt understand how was it evil to want to share something good with others.


    Eat it. Youre not allowed to leave until you finished it in front of me, Nian Junting pointed his chin at her, singling for her sit down and do what he said.


    As he had given his order, Luosang had no choice but to sit down. Just now, he had taken so much advantage of her shamelessly, so she now had no reason not to eat that chocte.


    However, when she opened the box and saw the delicate sparkling chocte pieces in it, she still felt a little uneasy.


    Mr. Nian we can share Luosang carefully raised the box and said with a low voice, Its my first time having such expensive chocte. It made me nervous.


    Youre so inexperienced, Nian Junting snorted. However, as Luosang was looking at him so fawningly, he reached out elegantly, randomly picked a piece of chocte and put it in his mouth.


    Seeing that, Luosang picked a rosy-colored piece of chocte and took a gentle bite. The smooth and thick vor of the chocte was mixed with the sweetness of raspberry and the aroma of rose. It was the best chocte she ever had in her life.


    It was truly limited edition. The higher the price, the better the quality. A small little piece of chocte in this box was worth over ten thousand yuan.


    Luosang felt that she was eating money, or thebor value.


    Nian Junting wasnt fond of sweet food. After finishing the chocte, he looked at Luosang who sat in front of him, then his thin lips twitched slightly.


    He was confused by the expression that contained braveness, pity, sadness and all the otherplicated feelings on Luosangs face.


    Not good? He frowned and asked.


    Its good. Its the best Ive ever had, she said. Luosangs words pleased Nian Junting very much, but what she said next darkened his face again.


    If only I can sell a couple of pieces. Id make tens of thousands.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead, then released a wave of coldness from his eyes while saying through clenched teeth word by word, You want to sell what I gave you?


    Luosang suddenly stopped chewing. The most slow-minded person would be able to tell that Nian Junting was angry at that moment. Luosang hurriedly swallowed the chocte in her mouth and said, Im sorry, how can I be willing to sell something so delicious?


    Eat them all. Finish every piece. You cant go to sleep before you finished the box. Nian Junting decided to watch her finish the whole box, in case she sneakily sell it or share it with Sister Lan.


    Alright, she said.


    She could finish the box. She loved chocte anyway. Since she didnt need to pay for it, she decided to not think about money anymore, and enjoy the chocte instead.


    After making the decision, Luosang finished the whole box of chocte with a joyful face. Seeing the look of satisfaction in her face, Nian Junting gradually loosened his tightened face.


    As he expected, letting her have the chocte was a better choice than giving it to that bad little girl Nian Xi.


    As she knew how to enjoy the chocte, he decided to think of her first when he has some other good stuff the next time.


    As he fell during his first rehabilitation training at home, Nian Junting never dared to do it alone again. During his every training after that, Luosang was with him closely.


    He was a man of perseverance, and was able to bear hardships. Therefore, he stood up from the wheelchair in less than three days. A weekter, he didnt even need the crutch anymore. He walked a little slowly, but he looked exactly like a healthy man.


    And, he could already take care of himself in daily life.


    The fourteenth day of the lunar month, Luosang apanied him to the hospital for thest checkup. ording to the doctor, he needed at least half a year to recoverpletely, and before that, he still couldnt do sports like he used to.


    After the checkup, he met with the chairman of Chuanchi Gaisha, who came all the way from Japan to sign the contract with Shengting. Atst, Shengting became their secondrgest shareholder with a 1.2 billion yuan investment.

 Chapter 59. He Has Spent His Time in the Army, and He Was a Special Force Soldier

    Chapter 59. He Has Spent His Time in the Army, and He Was a Special Force Soldier


    After the contract was signed, Xiao Si was in a very good mood. Tingting, weve won this battle. Did you see how dark those Chuanqi Gaosha peoples faces were when we signed the contract just now? They suffered a loss but cant talk about it. Haha! Oi, lets go get a drink to celebrate. Luosang needs toe too. Shes the one who made this possible. Ah, right, we also need to celebrate now that youre back on your feet, he said.


    Nian Junting slightly raised his brows, as he, too, wanted to celebrate. He had been staying at home for two months after he was injured, and he was being driven crazy.


    However, before he nodded, Luosang said, Mr. Nian, have you forgotten about what the doctor said? You cant drink now.


    Xiao Si grinned and said, Hell only drink a little. Itll be fine.


    I dont think you should go to any crowded ces before youve recoveredpletely. If any idents happened while you are drunk, you might get stuck in bed for another month, Luosang smiled, saying this tly. But itll be alright actually. Youll have someone to sponge-bath you, to help you to the bathroom, and to wheel your chair anyway.


    Nian Juntings face turned darker and darker when he heard her. Im not going. Lets do thatter, he said.


    Uh Xiao Si helplessly gave Luosang a thumbs-up.


    He was amazed by Luosang, as she managed to figure out exactly what Nian Junting was afraid of after spending just a couple of weeks with him.


    Alright, Ill invite other people if you arent going. Xiao Si shrugged and said, Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Are you going back to your familys house?


    No. My mom wille tomorrow. I didnt spend time with her during the New Year vacation.


    Xiao Si sighed and said, Are your parents really not going to make it up? Its been so long since that thing happened. Your dad actually does care about your mom.


    Nian Junting snorted, then gave a sneer and said, He wouldnt have done it if he had cared about my mom,


    Xiao Si didnt respond after hearing what he said.


    Luosang listened to their conversation silently. She guessed that Nian Juntings father did something that hurt Murong Cheng before. It was most likely cheating. No wonder some people said that the wealthier a family was, the more problems it would have.


    The next day, during the Lantern Festival, Luosang helped Sister Lan make sweet dumplings in the dining room. Nian Xi soon arrived. She watched for a while and found that it was quite fun, so she took part in the dumpling-making with great interest.


    The three women chatted while making the dumplings.


    Sister Luosang, I think youve been taking really good care of my brother. I havent been here for a while, but he can already walk on his own.


    The credit is not on me, said Lusoang smilingly. Mr. Nian is persevering and has no fear towards hardships. Plus, hes young and strong. Ive seen many patients like him in the hospital. Many of them couldnt stand the pain during their rehabilitation training, so they didnt do it frequently enough. Consequently, they always needed to spend longer to recover.


    Thats true. Nian Xi raised her head, nodded, and said, My brother is good at enduring pain, indeed. Maybe its because he has spent his time in the army before. You may not know that my brother used to be a special force soldier. He used to take highly intensive survival training in deserts or grasnds during every season. I dont think anyone ordinary could cope with that kind of hardship. My dad was nning to find a way to transfer him back to the Military Region after he served a couple of years in the army so that he could be a general someday. But he was shot and injured badly near the border during a mission. He had recovered, but wasnt able to take intensive training anymore. Plus, my mom was strongly against him staying in the army, so he retired.


    While speaking, Nian Xi sighed.


    Luosang gave a start when hearing that. She had heard that Nian Junting used to serve in the army, but never thought that he was a special force soldier.

 Chapter 60. Mr. Nian Said that You Dont Like Sweet Food

    Chapter 60. Mr. Nian Said that You Don''t Like Sweet Food


    She wasnt familiar with the army, but she felt awestruck when mentioning special force soldiers every time. No wonder Nian Junting had some small scars on his body.


    She turned her head to nce at the nicely shaped side face of Nian Junting, who was sitting in the couch, then said with a low voice, Everyone has a different destiny. Mr. Nian is living a good life now.


    He is now, said Nian Xi, But back then, in order to join the army, he didnt even go to college. After retirement, he was so confused about his future. He needed to start over. Many people were waiting for him to fail, but fortunately, he got through it. Later on, he was epted by a university abroad and restarted his study. Sometimes, I do admire him. I wouldnt be able to do that if I was him. A twenty-one-year-old-man returning to school as a freshman, imagine how much courage does that require.


    Luosang suddenly thought of herself. She was twenty-two now, and she needed to go back to school to continue her study from the third year, so she could get her diploma. People mightugh at her, and she would bear a much greater pressure than ordinary students.


    She felt anxious these days when thinking about that, but now, Nian Juntings story had suddenly given her some extra courage.


    Nian Junting started over and achieved his todays sess on his own, so she believed that she should learn from him.


    While thinking, she even forgot to turn her eyes away from Nian Junting until he suddenly turned around, looked her in the eyes. After making the eye-contact with him, she hurriedly turned away and lowered her head to continue making sweet dumplings.


    Murong Cheng arrived at five oclock at night, with two delicate paper bags.


    Luosang served her with a cup of tea, and saw her taking out a box of chocte from one paper bag and handing it to Nian Xi. Your grandma and I traveled abroad to celebrate New Year this time. We got you a few boxes of chocte when we were in Belgium. I know its your favorite, she said.


    Thank you, Mom, Nian Xi gave Murong Cheng a peck on her cheek, then happily unwrapped a box of chocte, dragged Luosang over and said, Sister Luosang, lets share.


    Luosang paused, then asked, Do you like chocte?


    Yeah, which girl doesnt? Nian Xi nodded.


    But Mr. Nian said you dont like sweet food Luosang turned to Nian Junting without finishing her sentence.


    Nian Junting blinked. He too froze shortly, but soon afterward, he calmly raised his head to nce at his sister, then saidzily, Do you like sweet food? I think I forgot that.


    Nian Xi was hurt deeply. Are you serious? Youre my brother, but you forgot that I love sweet treats the most! You must have got me mixed up with someone else! Tell me, whos she?


    Yeah, whos she? Murong Cheng looked at her son with interest and asked.


    Nian Junting ignored his mother but only responded Nian Xi with, Youre my sister indeed, but you have a very low presence in my heart. So you cant me me for that. me yourself.


    After saying that, he walked away to y with Xiaosi with his hands in his pockets.


    Ugh, Im so mad, Nian Xi pulled a face toward his back and said, Some brothers treat their little sisters like princesses, but Im nothing to him. I hope my future sister-inw will be nice to me.


    Luosang nodded as she shared the same feeling as Nian Xi. It was indeed unlucky for Nian Xi to be Nian Juntings sister.


    However, did he really not remember that his sister loved sweet treats?


    At dinner time, when Luosang walked out of the kitchen with arge bowl of sweet dumplings, Nian Junting blocked her way. The shadow of his tall and strong figure darkened the path before her, gave her a strong pressure.


    She raised her head to find that Nian Junting was staring at her. Do you have any question for me? He asked.


    About what? Luosang was confused.


    About Nian Xi loves sweet treats, Nian Junting raised his brows and said.

 Chapter 61. Dont Look at Me so Lovingly Again

    Chapter 61. Don''t Look at Me so Lovingly Again


    Luosang gave a start, then said, Did you really lie to me on purpose so I would eat that box of chocte?


    You wish. Nian Junting snorted and said, I dont really remember what Nian Xi likes.


    Luosang felt a little speechless.


    Then why did you block my way?


    Mr. Nian, could you please step aside? This bowl of sweet dumplings is just out of the pot and is boiling hot, she said.


    Nian Junting didnt do what she said. Instead, he stared at her with aplicated look.


    Earlier, when you were making the sweet dumplings, why did you look at me in that way? he asked.


    In what way? The bowl of sweet dumplings was so hot, it stung Luosangs fingers.


    Nian Junting snorted again and responded, Lovingly.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Dont look at me so lovingly again. Ill feel stressed, he continued, like a proud peacock. Then he turned and left.


    Luosang wanted to pour the bowl of sweet dumpling soup all over his back.


    Lunatic. You overthink everything!


    Soon, all the dishes were served. As it was a special festival, both Sister Lan and Luosang were invited to have dinner with Murong Chengs family.


    Before the dinner started, Murong Cheng gave Luosang a thick red envelope and said to her, Luosang, thank you for looking after my son these past few months. This is your sry.


    Luosang paused briefly. She didnt count the money in the envelope, but she knew that it was roughly tens of thousands of yuan. Mrs, Nian, its too much.


    You deserve it, believe me. Murong Cheng smiling patted the back of her hand and said, Take it. Youve been working hard, and this money is nothing to my family.


    When has it been your position to pay my carer? Nian Junting frowned unhappily.


    I was afraid that you might be too stingy to pay her, said Murong Cheng with a smile. And it was me who promised to double her sry. A couple of days earlier, I called her, and she told me that youve almost recovered, so shell leave in two days. I was going to rmend her to a nice job, but she refused.


    Why didnt you tell me that you are leaving in two days? Nian Juntings face darkened as he asked Luosang.


    Mrs. Nian called me earlier, so I mentioned it to her. I was nning to tell you today, she said.


    Nian Junting put down his chopsticks. He suddenly lost his good mood for the festival. This isnt your first job. Dont you know that you should inform your employer at least a month before you quit? Quitting in two days? I wont ept your resignation, he said.


    Luosang knitted her brows.


    Working for another month? That wouldnt be possible, as the school term would be starting very soon.


    Mr. Nian, it was written in ck and white on the contract I signed earlier that my job would be done once you recover. Now, you can eat and walk on your own, so the rest can be handled by yourself, she said.


    I need at least half a year to recoverpletely. Nian Junting crossed his arms and twisted his thin lips.


    Luosang couldnt remain calm. Mr. Nian, do you not want to part with me? she asked.


    Pah! Nian Xi, who had been watching this, almost spewed out the sweet dumpling in her mouth.


    Murong Cheng was also smilingly looking at Luosang and her son.


    Hate to part with you? Nian Junting sneered and said, Dont tter yourself. I just dont like improper carers like you.


    Luosang sighed and responded with, Improper, maybe, but Mr. Nian, you really dont need my help anymore. And didnt we talk about this before?


    She looked at him directly in the eyes, quietly and seriously.


    He suddenly recalled that she once mentioned that her feelings to him were already too strong, so she couldnt even stand to stay in the same city with him. (Author: What? She didnt say that, you imagined that!)


    Alright, alright, leave if you want. He started to believe that leaving sooner might be the best thing for her to do.


    However, why did he feel so annoyed when realizing that she wouldnt be looking after him anymore?


    He might have gotten used to her help already. After all, people would even grow feelings towards their pets.

 Chapter 62. Are You Trying to Say That You Cannot Sleep Because of Me?

    Chapter 62. Are You Trying to Say That You Cannot Sleep Because of Me?


    Sister Luosang, if anyone dares to bully you in Xia City, if you get in any trouble, or even end up in jail, just call me. Nian Xi patted her own chest while saying, Theres nothing I cant do in this city.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. She thought that it would be better for her to never contact Nian Xi again if she got into such trouble.


    Im afraid shes not gonna contact you ever again, said Nian Junting in a t tone. Shes going back to An City.


    An City? I might not be able to help you then, said Nian Xi regretfully. My power hasnt reached that area yet.


    Nian Junting felt speechless. You dont even seem to be powerful here in Xia City. Youve worked for so long, yet youre still doing odd errands for others. Every time you get into trouble, you stille to me to solve it.


    Nian Xi red at him and said, Go to hell.


    Luosang muffled her chuckle. If she wasnt seeking revenge or to make her dreame true, she mightve stayed. The Nian Family Home was a really nice ce. In here, she felt the warmth that had escaped from her life a long time ago.


    The next day, Steward Wu came back to Tianhu Vi.


    Luosang moved out of Nian Juntings bedroom to sleep in a guest room. She lived with Nian Junting before to take care of him at night, but now, that wasnt necessary.


    At night, Nian Junting tossed and turned on the bed. He was having insomnia. He raised his head to look at the area near the window. A bed used to be there, but now, it had been removed. Streams of moonlight poured onto the parquet floor, giving off a dim glow.


    Hey back down, still feeling a little ufortable. He managed to fall asleep, albeit with difficulty. In the middle of the night, he woke up thirsty. He wanted some water, so he called Luosangs name for a few times, yet no one responded.


    He sat up angrily. A secondter, he recalled that Luosang was sleeping in a guest room and would leave tomorrow.


    In the morning, he came downstairs with dark circles under his eyes and saw Luosang greeting him smilingly. Mr. Nian, did you sleep wellst night? she asked while carrying a te of sweet corn.


    Look at me and tell me if I slept well thest night. Nian Juntings cold eyes swept across Luosangs face. Unlike him, she slept quite well. Her dull face had a beautiful luster today, and her lips looked soft and moisturized. She didnt seem to be sad about leaving him at all. That didnt make sense to him.


    It seems that you had a good sleep, he said.


    She failed to detect his sarcastic tone, but responded smilingly with, Yeah, I slept through the whole night since I didnt need to wake up to help you with the bathroom or bring you water.


    Nian Juntings face turned even more sullen after he heard her words, and he said, What do you mean? Are you trying to say that you couldnt sleep well before because of me?


    Luosang didnt know how to answer his question.


    Isnt that obvious? she thought.


    Luosang didnt understand why Nian Junting said that, but thinking that she would be leaving soon, she hurriedly said with a soft voice, Thats not what I meant. Being able to take care of you has been an honor of mine, Mr. Nian.


    An honor indeed. Youve taken advantage of me a lot, said Nian Junting with aplicated look. Since I was little, no one had ever touched my private area as frequently as you have.


    Luosang felt embarrassed. Even though she had gotten used to doing that, her face was still blushed at the mention of it.


    Seeing her blushed face, Nian Junting suddenly felt better. His lips slightly twisted as he continued, So you should be satisfied, and leave with no regrets.


    Again, Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    Eh Mr. Nian, please have some breakfast. Ill be leaving afterward. She felt that she would go crazy if this conversation continued.


    How will you leave? Nian Junting asked, then pressed his lips together.


    I dont have a lot of stuff, so Ill take the bus, then change to the subway, Luosang said.

 Chapter 63. Cut the Crap, I Dont Like Being Disobeyed

    Chapter 63. Cut the Crap, I Don''t Like Being Disobeyed


    Ill drive you. Nian Junting stayed silent for a short while, then said slowly, Were going out for breakfast.


    But where I live and yourpany arent in the same direction. Plus, the breakfast is already ready, Luosang said. Still, she felt ttered.


    Its alright. I own thatpany, so I can go to work anytime I want. Cut the crap; I dont like being disobeyed. After saying that, Nian Junting walked downstairs.


    Luosang had no way to change his idea. After saying goodbye to Sister Lan, she packed her bags and followed Nian Junting to the parking lot. It was eight oclock in the morning.


    The sweet corn had been boiled. To avoid wastefulness, Luosang had grabbed some sweet corn before she left and was now eating while walking.


    Nian Junting turned to look at her before getting into the car. He saw that she had a piece of corn on her cheek. It made her look adorable under the warm sunlight.


    He frowned slightly and reached out to pick off the corn without thinking. Luosang gave a start, then turned her face. Because of this sudden action, the tips of his fingers swept across her red lips. He felt that her lips were as soft and juicy as the jellies that he had touched when he was little.


    Both of them paused.


    Nian Junting blinked, then took his hand back swiftly, as if he had been hit by an electric current. Eat, eat, eat, you know nothing but how to eat. You must have been a pig in your previous life, he said with a dark face.


    I just dont want to waste it, said Luosang while pouting with an innocent look on her face, like a child.


    Nian Junting snorted, then turned to get into the car. He believed that he must have lost his mind, and that that was why he felt that this old woman looked like a child when pouting.


    A whileter, Nian Junting nced at Luosangs small bag, then asked, Is that all of your stuff?


    Yeah, she answered.


    Nian Junting knitted his brows. He now recalled that she had been wearing the same few clothes the whole time. Sometimes, he tired of looking at her clothes.


    You cant live like this, he sighed, feeling that he was worrying too much about her. Women need to spend some time to make themselves look prettier so that they can catch a mans attention.


    Luosang thought of Yi Jingxi, and a trace of scornfulness shed across her eyes. Hadnt she tried hard enough to make herself look pretty before? It used to be an epted fact that she was the prettiest girl in her faculty. But atst, her fiance still cheated on her and chose Zhong Yi, who was less so.


    I think Men care more about how women act in bed, she said.


    Are you saying that youre good in bed? Nian Junting gave her a faint smile and added, But no matter how good you are in bed, you need to be pretty to get men into your bed, right?


    Im not good at anything, she said.


    That was why she lost everything.


    She dropped her eyes and pressed her lips together. The atmosphere suddenly turned a little sad.


    Nian Junting rubbed his nose, thinking that he might have touched a sore spot. He wasnt trying to criticize her. Instead, he just wanted to give her some advice from a mans angle so she could live a better life in the future.


    He coughed slightly, then took out a stack of money from his billfold, handed it to her, and said, This is your reward for saving me at the hospital thest time and pointing out the mistake in the contract.


    Luosang paused in shock. There was more money here than what she had been given by Murong Cheng.


    Mr. Nian, I cant take this. Mrs. Nian has already paid me much more than I earned. You shouldnt give me more. I dont deserve this.


    Luosang, do you know what I hate about some Chinese people the most? Nian Junting said with a deep voice, sounding like a strong and sessful man. It is that when they obviously want something, they have to pretend that they dont want it. Do you want me to try to persuade you to ept this money? Dont make me angry, or you wont even be able to leave. Take it or dont.


    Luosang was speechless.


    She really felt that she didnt deserve the extra money.

 Chapter 64

    Chapter 64


    Do you know what I like about you? Nian Junting put the money into Luosangs bag and said, I like the way you told Gao Shengyuan and his wife that you dont like people who take advantage of their seniors.


    Luosang was surprised. She didnt expect Nian Junting to like anything about her.


    With your help, Ive saved hundreds of millions of dors. Ive also won quite a lot of money during the New Year holiday. So, you deserve this, Nian Junting gave her a sideway nce and continued, You should know when to be kind and honest and when to not. Otherwise youll suffer losses throughout your whole life. Youre lucky to meet me.


    I get it, Luosang lowered her head and said. She would make herself look hypocritical if she rejected the money again.


    And, Nian Juntings words suddenly awakened her.


    He was right. She had suffered so many losses already. Some people had taken everything she had away from her, so she should act as selfishly as she couldnt for such a long time.


    Mr, Nian, thank you for your advice, she said.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting happily found afortable spot in the leather backseat to lean against and asked, Where do you wanna go for breakfast?


    I dont mind, she said.


    Half an hourter, Nian Junting told the chauffeur to park the car, then pointed at a noodle restaurant by the roadside and said to Luosang, Lets have breakfast here.


    Luosang gave a start when she saw the restaurant. It was her favorite noodle restaurant in Xia City. She came here on the fourth day she worked in the Nian Family. She hadnt had any noodles from this restauranttely, so she certainly missed these noodle dishes indeed.


    However, she didnt know why Nian Junting picked this restaurant. Are their noodles really so good that even the boss of Sheng Ting knows about them? she wondered.


    As she paused in surprise, Nian Junting had already gotten off the car. She had no choice but to follow behind him slowly. Mr. Nian, why did you pick this ce? She asked.


    Nian Junting rolled his eyes toward her.


    Why did he pick this ce?


    Of course it was because he wanted her to have her favorite beef noodle soup before leaving. He wanted to do this for her, as he believed that she loved him so much.


    I heard that their noodles are good, he said.


    After saying thatzily, he walked toward the restaurant. Many people were eating in the restaurant, but not all the tables were taken. There were still two or three empty seats left. Nian Junting looked around, and then frowned as he regretteding here.


    This was the worst breakfast restaurant he had ever seen. The tables hadnt been wiped, the empty bowls and dishes hadnt been put away. Everything was greasy. The people around him were eating very loudly, and sounded quite impolite.


    Seeing the unpleasant look in Nian Juntings face, Luosang hurriedly asked the waitress to tidy the table, then carefully wiped the table with a clean tissue. After that, Nian Junting finally sat down, brows remained knitted.


    Mr. Nian, what would you like? she asked Nian Junting.


    Ill have whatever you want, grumbled Nian Junting, who was frowning the whole time.


    Luosang turned to talk to the owner of this restaurant. She ordered two beef noodle soups, two fried bread sticks, and two cups of soy milk. As she turned back, she found Nian Junting was staring at a rating form from the sanitary bureau, hanging on the wall. There was a B on it.


    I never thought that Ide to a restaurant graded B for hygiene level in my life, said Nian Junting with aplicated tone, You have my first time.


    Two girls walked passed him and heard thest part of his words. One of them turned back to nce at him and Luosang, then whispered to her friend, How unfair. Such a handsome man gave that ugly woman his first time. So unfair.


    Hearing that, Luosang inhaled the water that she was drinking and began coughing loudly.


    Those girls were so mean.


    After quite a while, she finally caught her breath. Face blushed, she said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, could you please refrain from saying something that leaves people suchrge room for imagination?


    What did I say? Nian Junting looked at her scornfully and responded with, You probably feel that way because women have unhealthy minds.


    Luosang didnt know how to continue this conversation.


    She decided to say nothing.

 Chapter 65. Its A Pity that You Dont Have Me, but at Least You Have Good Memories

    Chapter 65. It''s A Pity that You Don''t Have Me, but at Least You Have Good Memories


    Soon, breakfast was served. Looking at the red, oily noodle soup, Luosang felt that her appetite was aroused. She stirred the noodles, then began enjoying it.


    She finished the noodles, the fried bread sticks and the cup of soy milk in about ten minutes. After that, she raised her head to find that Nian Junting, who sat in front of her, didnt eat much.


    Do you not think this is good? she asked.


    You call this good? He threw the question back to her.


    I think its pretty fine. Luosang pouted and said, I didnt ask toe here.


    Nian Junting decided not to argue with her, as he just wanted her to have a nice breakfast. I know a ce in Xia City, they make really good beef noodle soup. Ill take you there next time.


    Thank you, but I dont think I will have a chance to taste their beef noodle soup because I wont be in Xia City, she said.


    You wonte back your whole life? Nian Junting nced at Luosang unpleasantly, then continued, Have you saved my number? Dont contact me unless you have to.


    Dont worry, I wont disturb your life, she said.


    Nian Junting put down his chopsticks with a dark look and said, I mean, you can contact me if you need my help.


    Luosang felt so speechless.


    She guessed that she was too stupid to understand the big bosss strange way of talking.


    Whatever. Did you finish? Lets go if you have finished. I cant stand this ce for another minute. Its graded B for hygiene level, heined.


    Alright, she said.


    Nian Junting grumpily nced at her and said, What alright? I waited until now because you are enjoying the meal.


    Luosang blinked.


    Are you touched? He smiled proudly and said, Dont be too touched. Remember this moment. Its a pity that you cant have me, but at least you will have good memories.


    Yes, good memories. Luosang sighed silently. She had really gotten used to hearing Mr. Nian tter himself from time to time.


    Half past ten, the luxury vehicle drove into an area with small buildings in Yunxi Ao. The car turned a few times in the narrow roads, then stopped before a four-story, shabby house.


    Have you lived here before? Nian Junting looked at the house and said, Youre a woman; its not safe for you to live here alone, is it?


    He remembered that the area used to be a vige before he joined the army. Later on, it became a part of the fast-developing city. The local people built some houses and factories, but since the people who stayed there were all poor ounders, and the surrounding environment and the pair in this area were undesired, no developer was willing to put investment into this ce.


    Its alright. Thendlord of this ce is a nice person. He wouldnt rent the rooms to bad people. Luosang got out of the car, turned to seriously look at the handsome Nian Junting in the car, and said, Mr. Nian, thank you to you and your family very much for looking after me these days. Goodbye.


    Nian Juntings thin lips moved slightly. Ill walk you up, he said.


    No need, youre already nice enough to me. If you send me upstairs, Ill overthink it, Luosang joked.


    Nian Junting stopped moving. Since she had said that, he really had no reason to get out of the car.


    Goodbye. Luosang waved at him, then walked into the building.


    When she arrived at the second floor, she found that Nian Juntings car was still parked before the building.


    She sighed. She had spent a lot of time with Nian Junting and found that he was actually a good person.


    If she had spent a longer amount of time with him, it wouldnt be strange for her to fall in love with him, as he had said.


    She hadnt been back for a long time. She opened the door to her room, put down her bag, and took off her sses. Then, she took a shower and put on a v-neck shirt. An hourter, she checked out with thendlord, then left with her suitcase without any reluctance.

 Chapter 66. I Remember that We used to Have A Dubber Named Xu Luosang, Shes Amazing

    Chapter 66. I Remember that We used to Have A Dubber Named Xu Luosang, She''s Amazing


    In half an hour, she walked into a stylish hair salon. Two hourster, she saw a strange, but familiar face of herself in the mirror. She had fluffy shoulder-length hair, and the side-swept bangs perfectly emphasized her pretty, delicate face. She had snow-white skin, moisturized full lips, a beautifully shaped nose, and a pair ofrge and bright eyes. She looked like a mixed-race girl. Her face was stunning.


    Her neck was slender, and her cor bones were perfectly shaped.


    The stylist from the salon sighed and said to her, You dont wear makeup, do you? Youre really a natural beauty.


    Luosang gave a faint smile.


    She might be a natural beauty, but so what? Now she needed to hide her name. In the past year, she had to make herself look in, but now, it was time to show her beauty again.


    After leaving the salon, she took the bus directly to Ximei College of Communication. She waited for a while before the faculty building, then Professor Ma, who was in his fifties, showed up. He gazed at Luosang for a short while, then sighed, Luosang, youre so pretty. Its such a waste for you to be a dubber instead of an actress.


    Professor Ma, you know that my grandma used to be a famous dubbing artist. She has dubbed many films from Hollywood and Europe. Ive always admired my Grandma, and hope that I can be an outstanding dubber like her. That is also my fathers wish, said Luosang sincerely, And its not so easy to be an actress now. The industry is tooplicated. Without backgrounds or connections, what actress can truly build a career if she doesnt want to y by these unspoken rules?


    Youre right though, Professor Ma sighed and continued, What happened to your father it made me sad. He dedicated his life to education and art, but in the end, fell into disrepute.


    Sooner orter, I will clear my fathers name, said Luosang, her eyes showing pain and determination.


    Take things easy, dont stress yourself out, Professor Ma patted on her shoulder and said, Ive told the college staff about your enrollment. But, you shouldnt let the others know that your name is Xu Luosang. Many people from film-television industry know your name. But the good thing is, dubbers work behind the screen, so not many people have seen your face. From now on, youll have a fresh start with your new name: Luo Sang. Lets go, Ill go through the admissions procedure with you, and take you to your dorm.


    Luosang nodded.


    The admissions procedure was a littleplicated, so it was already five oclock in the afternoon when she finished it.


    To avoid arousing suspicion, Professor Ma didnt apany her to the dorm. Instead, she went to the dorm herself.


    It was a four-room dormitory. She was a transfer student, so three students were already living in the dorm when she arrived. All three of them gave a little start when they saw Luosang.


    Nice to meet you. My name is Luo Sang. Im a new student from the broadcasting major, said Luosang while looking at her roommates up and down.


    As art students, all three girls were quite pretty.


    A sweet-looking girl with her hair up in a bun responded first, Wee, wee, my name is Tang Ning, and Im from the same major as you. These two are from the music major, their names are Ye Chuen and Yan Su.


    Luo Sang, your name is so familiar, a girl named Ye Chun raised her brows while painting her nails, and said, I remember there used to be a dubber named Xu Luosang. She was amazing.


    Ah, Ive heard about her as well, but Xu isnt myst name, Luo is, Luosang smiled.


    But its said that Xu Luosang has quit dubbing,  said Tang Ning smilingly, I guess shes too ashamed to continue working as a dubber. After all that happened in her family. Its a shame though, because I heard that shes a genius dubber. She can make ten different voices, speaks many differentnguages, and apparently her voice was so incredibly beautiful, that a musician once wanted to make a record with her.

 Chapter 67. Youre Not Having Insomnia Because You Miss Luosang too Much, Are You?

    Chapter 67. You''re Not Having Insomnia Because You Miss Luosang too Much, Are You?


    I doubt that. Can a person really be so good? Ye Chun pouted and said, Even if she was really so capable, she might have been ugly.


    No one has seen her, said someone else.


    Lets move our things away from the empty bed, said Yan Su, who hadnt talked the whole time.


    Luosang turned back to look at her with surprise. Yan Su was a pretty girl with long and straight ck hair. Her voice was special and prative.


    You have a beautiful voice, said Luosang.


    You have good ears. Tang Ning chuckled and said, Sus voice is known as the best in the music faculty.


    At that moment, Luosang noticed a scornful look in Ye Chuens eyes. She sighed silently, feeling that the rtionships between the college students were quiteplicated as well. But then again, all of these girls would step into the mostplicated industry in the world someday, so it was a good thing for them to learn to deal withplicated rtionships before that.


    Back in Tianhu Vi


    When Nian Junting came back from work, he came to a prepared dinner by Sister Lan as usual. However, he felt quite ufortable and had no appetite.


    He sat by therge dining table alone. Before, Luosang always sat by his side with a great appetite. She was never picky about food.


    At first, he felt that she was annoying, but after spending a while watching her eat, his appetite increased a little.


    After dinner, he continued doing his work in the study. He felt thirsty, so he called Luosangs name without thinking.


    Luosang,e and fill my teacup.


    Steward Wu filled his cup and kindly reminded him, Young Master, Luosang has left.


    Nian Junting turned back and saw Steward Wus wrinkled face. Suddenly, he lost the mood to continue reading the files on his desk.


    He never had this feeling before, but now, he could see Luosang in every corner of his vi.


    She would match his clothes, peel fruits for him, cook, make tea, massage him, and she would apany him in work


    At night, Nian Junting strangely suffered insomnia again. The next day, when he went to thepany, Xiao Si saw the pair of dark circles under his eyes and joked about it.


    Ahyaya, Luosang has left. Youre not missing her so much at night that you cant even sleep, are you?


    Nian Junting nced at him coldly and expressionlessly, and responded, Do you think thats possible?


    Xiao Si snorted silently when he heard him. Yeah, you just keep pretending that you dont miss her at all. Yesterday, the secretaries from your office said that you called Luosangs name a few times during work. Dont think I dont know about that. Then it must because the night was too long and you were too lonely to fall asleep. Now, no one will limit your freedom. How about we go to a club tonight and y mahjong? he said.


    What do you mean that no one will limit my freedom? Nian Junting said unhappily, Who dares do that?


    Hm, yeah, Luosang didnt limit your freedom, but she did manage to make you follow her words, thought Xiao Si.


    Alright, alright, I shouldnt say that. No one dares limit your freedom. So are you going or not? Xiao Si said while rolling his eyes.


    Nian Junting suddenly felt that it would be quite boring for him to go back to Tianhu Vi again, so he thought for a moment and nodded.


    At night, he yed mahjong till eleven oclock, then went back home. The next morning, he was woken up by stomach ache and had diarrhea.


    Steward Wu hurriedly called Doctor Han over. After diagnosing, Doctor Han told Nian Junting, You have caught a cold. Look after yourself at night; the weather is changing dramatically in spring.


    What cold? I must have eaten something bad. Nian Juntings face was upied by unhappiness. It must be that beef noodle soup from the small restaurant. I knew I couldnt go to a restaurant graded B for hygiene level, but Luosang insisted.


    Eh-hem, Steward Wu coughed slightly and said, That You had the noodles the day before yesterday, so if its because of the noodles, you should have started feeling unwell yesterday.


    And Lusang didnt ask go to that restaurant, you did, thought Steward Wu.


    Young Master, do you think its appropriate for you to call white ck like this?

 Chapter 68. She Turned off Her Phone for No Reason

    Chapter 68. She Turned off Her Phone for No Reason


    Doctor Han lowered his head and said, I think you have a cold.


    Do you know that some kinds of food poisoning have an incubation stage? Nian Junting narrowed his eyes, stared at Steward Wu and Doctor Han, then said, Steward Wu, call Luosang and tell her about this. I bet she wont dare to go to that noodle restaurant again.


    Steward Wu felt a little speechless. So it turned out that Nian Junting just wanted an excuse to call Luosang.


    However, he couldnt speak out loud about what his young master was thinking. Instead, he found Luosangs number and made a call, but no one answered.


    Young Master, she turned off her phone, said Steward Wu to Nian Junting.


    Turn off her phone? Nian Junting frowned and said, Why did she turn off her phone for no reason? Shes not having an ident, is she?


    I dont think so, but shes an adult Steward Wu responded.


    What do you know? The day before yesterday, I sent her home and found out that she lives in Yunxi Ao. That is the most unsafe area in the city. Ive heard that rape cases happen the most frequently over there


    Doctor Han said confused, Howe I didnt hear about any bad things happened in that area?


    Steward Wu remained silent to agree with Doctor Han. He hadnt heard anything like that either.


    Do you need to hear about it to know? Youll understand that ce has the worst social security once you see it, Nian Junting lifted his nket and stood up. He continued, Lets go take a look. After all, shes an unmarried woman andpletely unfamiliar with the ce and people from the neighborhood. She used to look after me, so if anything happens to her, people would see me, her ex-employer, as an unkind person.


    Looking at his back, Steward Wus mouth corners twitched.


    Ive never heard you say something like that, thought Steward Wu.


    An hourter, a car parked before the small building that Nian Junting had visited two days ago. Steward Wu went upstairs to ask thendlord about Luosangs room number. Ten minutester, he came back down to tell Nian Junting, Young Master, thendlord said that Luosang checked out and left the morning before yesterday, not long after she came back.


    Nian Juntings eyes immediately showed a grim look.


    He stared straight at Steward Wu. Quite a whileter, he said, She left?


    Yes, Steward Wu felt very ufortable under Nian Juntings gaze. I heard that she went back to her hometown.


    Nian Junting pressed his thin lips together.


    Steward Wu continued, It seems that nothing bad has happened to Luosang. Young Master, you can stop worrying about her.


    Nian Junting stayed silent, brows knitted.


    Eh If youre still worried, I can call Sister Miao from the Nursing Care Center. Maybe she knows Luosangs new number, said Steward Wu.


    No need, Nian Junting said frowningly after remaining silent for half a minute, If I look for her, she might misunderstand me and think that I like her. She left because she wants to forget about me as soon as possible. Thats a good thing for her.


    Steward Wu was again speechless.


    He didnt know what to say, because his Young Master again showed his narcissistic nature.


    Lets go back, Nian Junting closed his eyes, and leaned against the back of the seat.


    He had an indescribable feeling, probably because he wasnt used to the fact that Luosang had truly disappeared from his world.


    However, he understood that a man would have many passer-bys in life, and sometimes he couldnt do anything about that.


    Eight monthster.


    At eight oclock in the evening, Luosang stood up after recording thest line. Supervisor Wang walked up to her, smiled and said, Luo, thanks for your hard work in the past month. Youve done an excellent job. Ive already sent your wages to your ount.


    Thank you, Luosang smiled and said, The leading actor and actress of this online drama series both have great appearances and acting skills. The filming style is new and unique. Itll definitely be popr.


    Supervisor Yuanughed and responded with, I hope so. After all, therere so many online series nowadays.

 Chapter 69. Didnt You See it in WeChat Moment?

    Chapter 69. Didn''t You See it in WeChat Moment?


    Supervisor Yuan, do you know anyone else who needs a voice actress? Luosang asked, eyes showing hesitation.


    Supervisor Yuan paused briefly, then understood her meaning. He cherished Luosangs talent, so he looked at her and said, An idol drama directed by Hong Yuxing is about to be finished. Ive had meals together with him. I can ask him if he needs voice actors, but Im not sure if hell agree to hire you. How about this Ill send him the best part of your dubbing from this online series. Hes a professional director, so I think hell be able to tell how good you are.


    Thank you so much. Luosang was surprised. She had heard about Hong Yuxing. Every idol drama directed by him has topped the charts. If she could get the chance to work with him, she would have some hope for a brighter future.


    Youre rmended by Professor Ma, so thats what I should do. Supervisor Yuan looked at her in praising, and said, Besides, youre even more professional than most experienced dubbers, and you have a great voice as well. It really has been a waste for you to dub online series. Alright, its gettingte. You should go back to school.


    Luosang thanked him again, then took the subway back to her dorm.


    All three of her roommates were in the room. That surprised her. In art school, many students would start working with filmpanies or would get part-time jobs the second semester of the third year of their studies. Tang Ning was doing an internship in a radio station and Yan Su was a bar singer. Ye Chuen had a great family background, so she had already signed a contract with a recordpany, and her first album was in preparation. Therefore, she hardly showed up in the dorm.


    Luo, youre finally back. Chuen just left to attend an activity. She brought many desserts and drinks, Tang Ning said after she waved at Luosang while biting a piece of cake.


    Nice. Youre already attending activities? Luosang smilingly picked up a cup of juice. She was thirsty.


    Thepany wants me to get familiar with all kinds of activities. Theyve sent some experienced singers to guide me. Ye Chuen was painting her toenails. She smiled proudly and continued, Tang Ning quitted her radio station internship. She wants you to get her a dubbing job.


    Luosang paused, then saw the begging look in Tang Nings eyes. The female anchor from that radio station was bullying me the whole time. And my wage was ridiculously little. I got so angry today, so I quit. Luo, you seem to be doing quite well in the dubbing circle; could you please introduce me to someone? I can dub for supporting actresses; it doesnt necessarily have to be the leading actress, she said.


    Ill definitely help you if I can. But Ive just finished the online series that Ive been working on. Now, I dont have any work to do either, said Luosang with a serious look. Tang Ning, no matter what kind of job you do, its normal for you to take pressure from the seniors. The dubbing circle is alsoplicated.


    I think youre doing it quite easily, Tang Ning pouted.


    Yan Su couldnt bear hearing herints, so she said to Tang Ning, Thats because she didnt tell you about the difficulties. If she was truly doing as well as you say, she wouldnt be only doing online series now.


    Luosang nced at Yan Su gratefully.


    Tang Ning sighed and said, Youre better than me anyway.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    Ye Chuen smilingly waved her hand and said, Alright, alright, lets change the topic. Did you see the WeChat moments? Chi Shengxu ising back to school tomorrow. Hes finished filming his movie.


    Ah, no wonder youve suddenly started sleeping in the dorm again. Tang Ning chuckled and said, But Chi Shengxu is good, indeed. Hes the same age as us, but hes already made six or seven movies. Hes so famous now. This time, he worked with award-winning actors and actresses in his new movie. Im afraid hell be an A-lister this year. Hm, he has a good background, and thats why he has great resources.

 Chapter 70. Luosang, When Did You Know Chi Shengxu so Well

    Chapter 70. Luosang, When Did You Know Chi Shengxu so Well


    Ye Chuen sped her face between her hands, nced at Tang Ning and said, Chi Shengxu doesnt only depend on his background. Hes good at acting too. And hes much more handsome than the other male stars,


    You two take your time talking about handsome boys, Im going to sleep, Yan Su yawned, then covered her head with her nket and went to sleep.


    Su, are you a woman or not? How can you not be interested in Chi Shengxu? Tang Ning said and turned to Luosang with expectation.


    Im sleepy too, responded Luosang as she stretched with a tired look.


    The next morning, when Luosang was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, her cell phone ringed on her bed.


    Ye Chuen was doing her makeup. She called Luosang when she heard her phone ringing, Luo Sang, your phone is ringing.Luosang didnt respond, so she picked up her phone from the bed, and saw Supervisor Yuans name sparkling on the screen. She paused for a few seconds, then answered the call.


    Miss Luo, I sent your dubbing work to Director Hongst night, and he likes it. He wants you to go to Sky Pictures this afternoon


    The door of the bathroom opened at that moment. Ye Chuen hurriedly interrupted Supervisor Yuan and said, Sorry, Im Luo Sangs friend, shes brushing her teeth just now. Please hold on a second.


    While speaking, she handed the phone to Luosang. Luosang gave a start, and then hurriedly took over. She was so surprised to hear from Supervisor Yuan.


    After she talked to Supervisor Yuan, Ye Chuen asked, Director Hong from Sky Pictures, is that Hong Yuxing?


    Yes, they wanted me to go for an interview this afternoon. I dont know if Im hired yet, Luosang didnt try to lie to Ye Chuen, as she knew that thetter had heard some of Supervisor Yuans words. Lets go, Yan Su and Tang Ning should have our breakfast ready at the canteen, continued Luosang.


    After that, they walked to the canteen. Yan Su and Tang Ning had saved seats for them.


    Not long after they sat down, amotion could suddenly be heard from the entrance of the canteen. The four of them turned their heads to that direction, and saw a slim, handsome man walk in. He was in simple jeans, yet looked as gentle and pretty as a boy fromic books.


    Thats Chi Shengxu. I didnt think hede to the canteen for breakfast, Tang Ning excitedly sat up straight, and said, Hes looking over here. Chuen, is he looking at you? You two worked together on a musical for the school.


    I think so Ye Chuen stuttered and tucked her hair behind her ear, face blushed.


    When Chi Shengxu walked to the table with Luosang and her roommates with a warm smile, Ye Chuen hurriedly stood up to greet him, Shengxu, do you want to have breakfast together?


    Thank you, but I cant. I havent been back for long. The principal wants to talk to me, so Im just here to pick up some food. After saying that, Chi Shengxu turned his stunningly handsome face to Luosang, then said to her smilingly, Luo Sang, what a coincidence. I didnt think Id see you here. My new movie will premiere next Sunday, can I invite you and your roommates to watch it together on that day?


    Before his voice faded, almost everyone in the canteen cast their eyes on Luosang, including her roommates. Some of those people were jealous of Luosang, some admired her, and some were surprised. Ye Chuens face was especially dark at that moment.


    Hem, Luosang nearly choked on porridge.


    Before she could respond, Tang Ning realized what was happening, and immediately epted his invitation for her, Sure, sure, were definitely free the next Sunday.


    Ill be expecting you, Chi Shengxu gave Luosang a wink, then turned and left.


    Oh my, Luo Sang, when did you get to know him so well? Tang Ning excitedly put her hands around Luosangs neck and said, Youve been keeping such an important thing a secret from us! Hes invited you to watch his movie. Is he chasing you?


    We just had a few of Professor Chengs sses together. I lent him my notes a few times. Its not like what you think, Luosang swallowed the porridge in her mouth, then gave a bitter smile.

 Chapter 71. You Reminded Me of Someone

    Chapter 71. You Reminded Me of Someone


    I didnt think hed take an unpopr courses like Professor Chengs. But when did you mention this to us? Youre not acting like a good friend.


    Luosang smiled bitterly again and responded with, I was busying studying and dubbing works all day; when would I have the time to gossip with you?


    Thats right though. Luosang has always been the most hard-working one among us. Ye Chuen abruptly gave a smile and said in a meaningful tone, You may not know, but shes going for an interview this afternoon with Hong Yuxing from Sky Pictures. I heard that Director Hong is working on a new idol drama series, which is abination of two stars. Its not on air yet, but everyone already knows about it. If Luosang gets hired as a dubber under Director Hong, shed certainly have a great future.


    What? Are you going for an interview? Take me with you! said Tang Ning excitedly.


    Luosang gave Ye Chuen aplicated nce, then prepared to say something. But before that, Yan Su said, Tang Ning, you need to think for Luo Sang. How could she just bring you there? She, herself, is going for an interview, while you have no relevant experience at all. If she takes you to meet Director Hong without his permission, she might offend him.


    How could he be offended? I majored in broadcasting too. Im not as good as Luosang, but I have skills too. Im not expecting to dub for leading actress, but I can do supporting actress, said Tang Ning. She wasnt willing to give up.


    They usually dont need dubbers for supporting actresses, Luosang sighed. She even lost her appetite for breakfast. I asked someone for a rmendation; thats how I got this opportunity. Its really not appropriate for me to take you. Tang Ning, I hope you understand.


    Tang Nings lips moved slightly, but she didnt say anything. A whileter, she nodded grumpily.


    The breakfast ended on a bad note.


    In the afternoon, after finishing herst ss, Luosang hurriedly went to Sky Pictures. She spent an hour on the bus from the easternmost part of the city to the northernmost.


    In Sky Pictures, she waited half an hour in the lobby, then the receptionist told her to meet Director Hong in the dubbing room.


    Director Hong paused for a few seconds when he saw her, then he gave her a piece of paper and said, They are some lines from the series that Im working on. I want you to do an improvised dubbing for these. Remember, you only have one chance.


    No problem. Luosang calmly took the piece of paper and started reading it while walking toward the dubbing room.


    Director Hong stood outside the dubbing room, arms crossed before his chest. At first, he had a careless look in his face, but soon, that look was reced by surprise and praise. Luo Sang didnt know the whole story, but she managed to grasp the right emotion from the one part from the lines. That was very difficult for dubbers. It was also hard for dubbers to do an all-hearted performance without any preparation, but Director Hong felt that Luosang was really acting in the filming site. Luosangs performance was excellent and highly impressive.


    After a few minutes, Director Hong showed aplicated look in his eyes.


    When Luosang took off her earphones, the warmmplight poured on her beautiful face. Director Hongs heart flipped. You remind me of someone; her name is Zhong Yi, he said.


    Luosangs smile froze.


    Zhong Yi used to be a voice actor as well. Because of her outstanding appearance, she has be an actress. Youre actually prettier than her. Its such a waste for you to only be a dubber. Director Hong had no intentions of concealing his appreciation for Luosang. Your voice and your acting skills are no worse than that of professional actresses. You can sign a contract with me, and I will make you a star.


    Thank you for your kindness. But I only want to be a sessful voice actor, Luosang smiled and said. She wanted very much to defeat Zhong Yi, but she didnt want to give up her dream for that woman. Can I dub for your drama series?

 Chapter 72. Luosang, its Really You

    Chapter 72. Luosang, it''s Really You


    Of course you can. But its really such a waste for you to be only a voice actor. Dubbers usually cant make much money, unless youre an established one, said Director Hong.


    Its an honor to work for you, Director Hong. No matter what price youll offer me, Ill ept it. Luosang knew that Director Hong was trying to tell her that the pay wouldnt be high, but her current goal was to gain fame, not money.


    In that case,e and sign the contract with me, Director Hong turned to walk out with regret.


    After that, a series of high-heel clicks were heard. A group of people walked over. The woman at the front had long brown hair, wearing a white shirt with corrugated edges, a high-waist leather skirt, and a pair of white heels. She had beautiful legs and a perfectly shaped body, looking like a beautiful, proud white swan.


    However, Luosang quivered when she saw the face clearly. She was surrounded by walls with nowhere to hide.


    Zhong Yi, what brings you to our Sky Pictures? Director Hong walked up and greeted her smilingly.


    Im here to talk about the new movie, while speaking, Zhong Yi cast her eyes on Luosang. She paused briefly, then suddenly covered her mouth with surprise and said excitedly, Luosang? Is it really you? Why are you here?


    Do you know each other? Director Hong asked, Shes here for a dubbing interview. Ah, I almost forgot that you used to be a voice actor too. Have you two worked together?


    Luosang suddenly had a bad feeling. As she expected, Zhong Yi immediately responded with, Of course we know each other. Were good friends. You should have heard her full name too. Even though she has been working behind the screen, shes quite famous. Her name is Xu Luosang, do you know it?


    Shes Xu Luosang? The look in Director Hongs face changed immediately. He then turned to Luosang, eyes showing dislike, Youre not the daughter of Xu Zhengxuan who raped his own student, are you? But the name on your ID is Luo Sang.


    Zhong Yi wore a painful look, said, So youve changed your name, no wonder I could find you. Luo, you didnt have to do that. What your father did has nothing to do with you. You shouldnt feel guilty as long as youre a decent person.


    Luosang sneered silently. Zhong Yi was trying to say that she changed her name because she wasnt a decent person, right? But that woman had been acting so kindly, so she couldnt say any mean words to her.


    Judging by the look in Director Hongs face, Luosang understood that she wasnt going to be hired today. Zhong Yi was now an actress indeed. Clearly, her acting skills were better than before.


    Director Hong, its alright if you mind who I really am, said Luosang.


    Director Hong, Luosang is really capable Zhong Yi hurriedly said.


    Zhong Yi, I know shes your friend, but you knew that Mr. Yi told everyone in the industry not to hire Xu Luosang. I dont want to offend him. After saying that, Director Hong hurriedly waved his hands toward Luosang, as if he was whisking a fly off. You shall just go. I need to leave, as I still have other work to do.


    As Director Hong left, Luosang turned and walked away with a cold face.


    Stop! Zhong Yis manager who has been standing by her side called Luosangs name, Xu Luosang, Zhong Yi has been looking for you the whole time. Today, she finally saw you, and tried to put in a good word for you in front of Director Hong. Yet thats how you treat her?


    Luosang turned back, and gave a cold smile. She wouldnt forget that a year ago, this manger named Jian Fei helped Zhong Yi to hurt her. No one else is here. Youre not falling too deep into your scam, arent you? Said Luosang.

 Chapter 73. Zhong Yi is Trying to look like a Kind, Innocent Little Girl

    Chapter 73. Zhong Yi is Trying to look like a Kind, Innocent Little Girl


    Zhong Yi wasnt angry, but she upturned her red lips and looked at Luosang from head to toe while clicking her tongue. Luosang, look at you. Youre the princess of the Xu Family, yet youre wearing cheap clothes, and you didnt even dare use your real name. Youre like a rat passing a street that disgusts everyone. Youre so pathetic.


    Luosang felt like a sharp sword had pierced through her heart. Her face paled.


    What embarrassed her the most wasnt theedown of her family, but was the fact that she couldnt use her ownst name.


    She lost everything a year ago, but today, she didnt want to lose everything again.


    Yes, my clothes are cheap, indeed. It only cost me a hundred yuan. Luosang coldly and proudly tucked her hair behind her ear and said, But Im prettier than you, so I look better in these cheap clothes than you do in those expensive ones. Plus, I dont even need to wear makeup.


    The look in Zhong Yis face changed immediately. She had been jealous of Luosang her whole life, because Luosang was better than her in terms of both appearance and learning abilities.


    Youre so shameless, said Jian Fei. How dare youpare yourself with our Zhong Yi? Didnt you see the ranking list this year? Our Zhong Yi is in the list of top-ten beauties.


    Sorry, I havent been paying attention to the current entertainment industry. The girls in that circle all look the same nowadays. I cant even tell the difference between them unless I look very carefully. And to be honest, every woman can be beautiful with makeup. Even a manager with tiny eyes and buck teeth like you could be as pretty as a phoenix with some work. Luosang twisted her lips and said, You could only be a fake phoenix though. After all, you may change your appearance, but you cant ever change your nature.


    Shut up! Jian Fei was so angry that she even tried to p Luosang.


    Luosang grabbed her hand and pushed her away, then stared at her with an icy-cold look and said, You better be careful. This ce is surrounded by surveince cameras. Your Zhong Yi is trying to make herself look like a kind and innocent little girl, so please dont let others see her throw her weight about.


    After saying that, Luosang turned and left.


    She worried that she might get drowned in anger if she took another nce at Zhong Yi and her people.


    Jian Fei attempted to stop Luosang from leaving, but Zhong didnt let her.


    Zhong Yiughed and said, Luosang, well see each other again soon.


    Luosang quivered slightly, then walked quickly away.


    Zhong Yi Jian Fei stomped her foot against the ground in anger.


    Dont worry, well have a chance to make her pay for what she said. Since shes here to look for a job, thispany must have her files. She wont be able to escape from me, unless she changes her name and leaves this city again, Zhong Yi sneered and said.


    After leaving Sky Pictures, Luosang regretted what she said.


    Because she was no match for Zhong Yi at the moment, she shouldnt have brought about conflict because the narrow-minded Zhong Yi would probably try to bring her trouble.


    However, she then recalled that Yi Jingxi was looking for her as well. Even if she hadnt argued with Jian Fei, Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi would stille after her.


    What worried her the most was that if Yi Jingxi knew about what had happened, she might not be able to continue using the name Luo Sang; or worse, she might need another fresh start.


    Once she thought of Yi Jingxis name, she felt like she had a fire burning inside her heart. She wanted to die with him, but she didnt know how.


    For the next few days, Luosang didnt go out to find other jobs. When she thought that Zhong Yi, who was a big star busying around at all kinds of activities, might have forgotten about seeing her, she suddenly got a call from Supervisor Yuan.


    Luo Sang, what is wrong with you? My online series has been scheduled to y on a video site before, and the trailer is already on air. But today, I suddenly got a message that said the series isnt approved, and we cant air it. That doesnt make any sense. I used my connections and got some inside info, then learned that its because we hired you as a voice actor. Did you offend someone? You mustve gotten me in some serious trouble.

 Chapter 74. Since You Want So Much to be a Phoenix, How About I Admit that Youre A Genuine one?

    Chapter 74. Since You Want So Much to be a Phoenix, How About I Admit that You''re A Genuine one?


    Luosangs heart missed a beat.


    What she feared would happen just did. However, she didnt think that would affect Supervisor Yuan.


    Can you air the series if you rece my voice? she asked.


    Air my ass! Supervisor Yuans angry voice was heard as he continued yelling, you think I havent thought about that? I asked them but got no response. That means no! And its because of you. Luosang, I kindly helped you for Professor Mas sake, and I rmended you to Director Hong. You need to fix this.


    Luosang rubbed her forehead, and didnt know what to say.


    Hearing no response from her, Supervisor Yuan continued with a begging tone, Luosang, I havent known you for a long time, but I know youre a good girl. I dont want to bring you troubles, but my team put so much effort in for this online series. Our director and I have mortgaged all our properties and invested all our money in it. If it cant be aired, then well lose everything. We both have parents and children who need our support. Can you please think of us? And think of the leading actresses have just started their careers. They all put their hearts and souls into this series. We cant afford to lose it, or else some of us might even die.


    Alright, Ill try to fix the problem. Dont worry, said Luosang with a dry voice.


    She hadnt known Supervisor Yuan for long, but both he and the director were quite nice to her when she worked together with them. They never pulled ranks on her, and helped her a lot. So, she couldnt let herself bring them into troubles.


    Zhong Yi was so cruel. She knew how to target Luosangs weakness.


    Im sorry, sighed Supervisor Yuan.


    Im the one who should be sorry, said Luosang.


    After hanging up the phone, she sat in her dorm in confusion.


    She spent a long time thinking, then tried to dial Zhong Yis old number. Surprisingly, her call was answered.


    Zhong Yi, its me, said Luosang.


    Ah, you, Zhong Yis careless voice was heard from the phone, What do you want? Make it quick. Im busy.


    Supervisor Yuans online series Luosang closed her eyes to calm herself down, then said, Just tell me, what can I do to make you stop troubling him?


    You were quite arrogant earlier, werent you? said Zhong Yi scornfully, and you implied that Im a fake phoenix.


    Since you want so much to be a phoenix, how about I admit that youre a genuine phoenix? But phoenix is an animal, so are you sure you want to be one? said Luosang.


    For some reason, Zhong Yi didnt know how to continue this conversation. Enough, I dont have time to y word games with you. But since we were good friends, I dont want to go too far. Earlier, I saw that you were shamelessly looking for a job. So how about this, Im in need of an assistant. As long as you take this job offer, I wont make trouble for Supervisor Yuan, she said.


    You want me to be your assistant so you canugh at me and insult me as much as you want, right? said Luosang. She figured out what Zhong Yi wanted.


    Zhong Yi didnt try to hide her real purpose and said, Itll feel great to see the proud Luosang follow my orders. If Jingxi sees it, hell be happy too.


    Luosang clenched her teeth. She remained silent for a while, then said, Do you two need to see shrinks? Zhong Yi, have I ever done anything that hurt you? Have I ever pulled rank on you or insulted you in some way? Why do you have to take delight in humiliating me? You two have everything now. Youre a big star, he took my family business, and you both became billionaires. What else do you want? Why cant you just leave me alone? I should being after you.


    Zhong Yi chuckled and said, Yeah sure, you can think that way. We want to make fun of you because its fun. Im filming a movie in Xia City right now, so you cane work the day after tomorrow. Jian Fei will contact you. If you dont show up, I think your college will soon find out that youre Xu Zhengxuans daughter. I doubt youll be able to continue studying then.

 Chapter 75. Ye Chuen Turned Out to be Nian Juntings Distant Cousin

    Chapter 75. Ye Chuen Turned Out to be Nian Junting''s Distant Cousin


    After Zhong Yi hung up the phone, Losang gazed at the sunlight outside the window. Her heart was filled with despair.


    Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi were like a giant cage to her.


    She tried so hard to run away, but now, she was back to the beginning.


    Would she live the rest of her life like this?


    Squeak!


    The door suddenly opened. Yan Su walked in and paused briefly when seeing Luosang in the room.


    Luosang saw that Yan Su was carrying some beer.


    I had a bad time at work, so I got myself some beer. Yan Su shrugged and said, Do you want one?


    Yes. Luosang took a can of beer and opened it. She took a sip and found the beer to be terribly bitter.


    Sitting in front of her, Yan Su was also slowly drinking the beer. Her face was cold, eyes filled with tiredness.


    Suddenly, Luosang felt relieved. She hadnt known Yan Su for long, but she had learned that thetter had no strong family background. But unlike Tang Ning, she neverined, but had always worked hard silently.


    Everyone will encounter all sorts of difficulties on the road to sess. Yan Su hadnt given up yet, so Luosang believed that she shouldnt feel disappointed either.


    You better be careful about Ye Chuen, Yan Su abruptly said to her with a low voice. And you better stay away from Chi Shengxu. Ye Chuen has liked him for a long time now.


    Luosang gave a start; she didnt know how to respond.


    In fact, she had sensed that long ago.


    And nothing was happening between her and Chi Shengxu at all.


    Hearing her silence, Yan Su frowned and continued, Ye Chuens family background is solid. Im afraid that even the principal is afraid of her. Dont offend her, unless you have to.


    Luosang raised her eyebrows. She was a transfer student, so she didnt know as much as Yan Su did. What is her family background? she asked.


    Its said that the chairman of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation is her great-uncle, and the president is her aunt, said Yan Su.


    Luosang spewed out the beer.


    She remembered the president of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation; her name was Murong Cheng. So it turned out that Ye Chuen was Nian Juntings distant cousin.


    What? Yan Su looked at her and asked.


    Nothing. I just see that she does have a strong family background. Luosang raised her head to take a sip of beer.


    Somehow, she suddenly recalled the strange narcissistic look in Nian Juntings face and wanted tough.


    She also felt less depressed.


    Two dayster, Luosang went to Zhong Yis apartment in Xia City.


    When she arrived, she found that Zhong Yis apartment was located in the city center, on top of a tall building, covering an area of over four-hundred square feet with a swimming pool and a hanging garden. She was able to see the whole city from her apartment.


    How do you like my ce? Zhong Yi sat on a bar stool, holding a ss of wine. Her red lips curved in a proud smile as she said to Luosang, Jingxi bought this apartment for me.


    Hearing her words, Luosang felt like her intestines were tied into a knot.


    She raised her head, eyes filled with coldness.


    I told him that Ide to Xia City to film a movie, and he bought me an apartment immediately. He said that the hotels were unhygienic. This apartment cost over forty million. Zhong Yi smiled and continued, Hes always like that. No matter how busy he is, Im always his first priority.


    Luosang frowned and said, Did you pay me to be your assistant so you could tell me how well Yi Jingxis been treating you?


    Zhong Xi slowly slid off from the stool, walked up to Luosang, and said with a soft and low voice, Youre wrong. I was just trying to tell you that all the money Yi Jingxi spent on me came from your Xu Pictures. It can be counted as your money that hes been spending.


    The atmosphere suddenly turned icy-cold.


    Luosang trembled in anger. She thought of how her father was sent to prison two years ago, and how happy were Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi about that.


    She waspletely enraged. The hatred that she had been trying to restrain for two years now exploded.

 Chapter 76. Mr. Yi, Thank God Youre Here, Xu Luosang is Crazy

    Chapter 76. Mr. Yi, Thank God You''re Here, Xu Luosang is Crazy


    Luosang suddenly grabbed Zhong Yis arm and said, Zhong Yi, since you prepare to keep me around and torture me, then you should know that even a rabbit will bite when its cornered. You and Yi Jingxi worked so hard to take everything from my family. You spend the moneyvishly, fine. But, people need face, just like trees need bark. In my eyes, you have no shame, so in that case, Ill just destroy that face of yours!


    Then, she dragged Zhongyi toward the kitchen.


    Zhongyi was wearing slippers. Since she had been living like princess these years, she was much weaker than Luosang. As a result, thetter easily dragged her away.


    Jian Fei was startled, and rushed over to help.


    Luosang picked up a knife, held it against Zhongyis face. Her eyes were showing a soul-deep hatred as she said to Jian Fei, Try toe closer.


    Luosang, youre out of your mind! Put the knife down! Zhong Yi screamed, as she was truly frightened for the first time. Clearly, she didnt expect Luosang to do something like that.


    Zhong Yi, you need to know that Im not like you, Luosangs hands were shaking, as she really wanted to cut into Zhong Yis face. You have everything you ever wanted, while I have nothing but myself. If you go too far, Ill bring you all to hell!


    Zhong Yi swallowed her saliva. She was terrified.


    At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.


    Its Mr. Yi! Jian Fei shouted while running to get the door.


    Luosangs hands trembled intensely. Soon, she heard Jian Fei saying, Mr. Yi, thank God youre here! Xu Luosangs out of her mind! She forced Zhong Yi into the kitchen with a knife!


    Then, Luosang heard a familiar footstep sound. A familiar, tall figure came into her sight. The man was wearing a dark-grey suit, with well-brushed dark hair, and looked so handsome and elegant. She hadnt seen him for a long time, and now, she found that the gentleness in his face was reced by cold sharpness.


    She made eye-contact with him. He fixed his dark eyes on her, then abruptly walked over inrge steps. His cold eyes made the entire room cold.


    Luosang stared straight at him. She felt her blood boiling and her mind went nk in his presence.


    Before she came here, she knew that she might meet him soon, but she didnt think that things would be like this.


    But she didnt care. Because he would only show up to hurt her, and to protect the woman he loved.


    Let her go, said his voice, cold as ice, If you do her any harm, your father will suffer a hundred times worse in prison.


    Luosang felt like the dusty wound in her heart suddenly tore open again, and he was spreading salt on it, giving her a suffocating pain.


    He was even crueler than two years ago.


    He was like a poisonous snake, who hurt and wounded her.


    Feeling that Luosang paused, Zhong Yi immediately pushed her away and pped her.


    Her long nail left a bloody line on Luosangs face.


    Luosang gazed at the silent Yi Jingxi with frosty eyes, but he didnt look back at her. Instead, he turned his body to embrace Zhong Yi who jumped into his arms.


    Zhong Yi put her arms around his neck and said, Jingxi, I was so scared.


    Its alright, Im here, Yi Jingxi dropped his eyes and patted her on the back.


    After that, he turned to Luosang and said, If what happened today happens again, your father will never get out of the prison.


    Alright, you two have won, Luosang sneered, and then threw the knife to the ground.


    Zhong Yi tipped Jian Fei a wink. Jian Fei immediately rushed up to p Luosang on the other side of her face.

 Chapter 77. If I Ever See You Hit Her Again, Ill Make You Suffer Ten Times Worse

    Chapter 77. If I Ever See You Hit Her Again, I''ll Make You Suffer Ten Times Worse


    The sound of the p echoed in the kitchen. Yi Jingxis pupils shrank a little. After that, he abruptly lowered his head to say to the women in his arms, Zhong Yi, youre freaking out. Lets get you to the bedroom.


    After he finished talking, he put his arm around Zhong Yi and walked upstairs.


    After the bedroom door closed, he threw Zhong Yi onto the bed violently before she could stand stably.


    She quivered, panicked, and turned back to look at the tall and strong man standing by the bedside. A half of Yi Jingxis handsome face was hiding in the darkness, and the other half was filled with anger.


    Who gave you the right toy a finger on her? he asked.


    He gripped the hand which had just pped Luosang. When he lowered his head to find blood in her nails, he gripped it even harder and said to her, Who do you think you are? Dont forget what are you here for. Dont think that you can do whatever you want only because Ive made you a star. I can destroy you anytime I want.


    His tight grip made Zhong Yi scream. She was so scared that her body curled up. Sorry, I didnt mean to do it just now. Youve seen it yourself, that she threatened me with a knife. She was trying to hurt me. Jingxi, Im keeping her because of you. Why do I have to hire her to be my assistant?


    As long as youre aware of it. Yi Jingxi looked at her face coldly and said, If I ever see you hit her again, Ill make you suffer ten times worse. And Jian Fei


    She did that because she was too nervous, Zhong Yi hurriedly exined.


    Dont think of me as a fool. I doubt she would dare do that without your permission. Yi Jingxi gave a cold smile and said, Zhong Yi, stop ying innocent with me. Luosang fell into your lies because she was too innocent at that time. I know exactly what kind of a person you are.


    After saying that, Yi Jingxi turned, opened the door, and prepared to leave.


    Zhong Yi looked at his back, said in a low voice, Luosang hates your guts now. You can never get her back. Jingxi, I really feel sad to see you like this. Why do you have to do that?


    Shut up. Youre not allowed to call me that when theres nobody around. Yi Jingxi made fists in his hands slowly, gave her a threatening nce, then walked out. He closed the door and went back downstairs.


    In the bedroom, Zhong Yi clenched her fists.


    In the eyes of the others, Yi Jingxi loved her so much. But no one knew that she was merely his tool.


    However, she believed that she still lived a better life than Xu Luosang, even as a tool of his. And she swore that she would make Xu Luosangs life worse and worse.


    Downstairs, Luosang stared at the contract in her hands with disbelief. You want me to sign for ten years? And I need to wash her clothes, clean her room, deliver water to her, carry her luggages, give her massage, deal with social engagements for her, and protect her So, you want me to do all the hard work? Hm youre hiding a assistant who can also serve as a housekeeper and a bodyguard, and youre only paying one-thousand and eight-hundred yuan per month. Why dont you just refuse to pay?


    Zhong Yi has a bright future before her. Being her assistant for ten years is an honor for you, Jian Fei smiled and said impatiently. We didnt want to pay you at all, but then we decided to be nice to you, and pay you a little.


    Luosangs face twitched slightly. I can post this online, and tomorrow, your Zhong Yi will be used by everyone for abusing her assistant.


    Dont you dare Before she finished her talking, she saw a tall figure from the corners of her eyes, and her heart missed a beat, Mr. Yi she said.


    Luosang trembled slightly, but didnt turn back.


    I havent seen you for two years. Youve be much more sharp-tongued than before. His cold voice was heard.

 Chapter 78. Thanks to You, Ive been Hiding, Unhappily

    Chapter 78. Thanks to You, I''ve been Hiding, Unhappily


    Luosang turned back to look straight into his ck eyes. The eyes of her own were filled with hatred as she said, Surely, after learning such a cruel lesson from you and Zhong Yi, even a pig would change.


    Yi Jingxi ignored her anger. He took out a cigarette, but didnt light up immediately. He asked, No wonder I couldnt find you these years. It turned out that you stayed in Xia City. How have you been in the past two years?


    He actually had the effrontery to greet her as if she was an old friend he hadnt seen for years.


    Luosang made fists while responding, Thanks to you, Ive been hiding from ce to ce, and my life is miserable. Are you happy?


    Yi Jingxi stared at her for a few seconds, then smiled abruptly and said, My mistake. Two years ago, I didnt know that your father still had a good friend in Xia City.


    Luosang felt like her heart was frozen. She understood that within this short while, Yi Jingxi had found out everything about her.


    What do you want? she asked.


    Stay here, work for Zhong Yi, he said in a nd tone, If you do a good job, Ill tell her to raise your wage. You should forget about being a voice actor. As long as Im here, youll never be able to be one.


    After saying that, he put the cigarette between his thin lips, then lit it.


    His handsome face was radiating a bone-piercing coldness.


    Why are you doing this to me? she asked.


    Why?


    Yi Jingxi sensed bitterness from his heart.


    He did it to her because he wanted to keep her around him, without a doubt. Even if they couldnt be together, and he had to break her wings, he wanted her to be around.


    You guess, his mouth corners curved in a faint and cold smile when he said to her.


    Luosangs face paled in anger.


    Yi Jingxi said, I still have something else to do, so I need to go back to An City tonight. Ill leave this ce to you. He flicked his cigarette, gave Luosang a meaningful nce, then left.


    Soon, Zhong Yi came downstairs to give her an order, Arrange for the dresser and the stylist toe over. We need to attend a dinner party at Gu Feng tonight, so you should get ready too.


    Luosang lowered her head to make the phone call, feeling a little uneasy.


    She didnt believe that Zhong Yi keep her around just to make her do things for her. Perhaps, Zhong Yi still had other secret ns.


    Zhong Yi turned around and prepared to leave. But after making a few steps, she turned back and said to Luosang, Change your clothes. Even though youre my assistant, you wont be able to enter Gu Feng in those clothes.


    After Zhong Yi left, Luosang quickly searched for Gu Feng online, but got no results. So she called Ye Chuen. Ye Chuen came from a remarkably high-achieving family, so she must have been to high-end ces quite often.


    Of course you cant find it online. Gu Feng is a very low-key, private club. Its not open to the public. Its invite only said Ye Chuen, You need to dress formally, women should at least wear dresses. Whyre you asking me this? Are you going to Gu Feng?


    Yes, for work, Luosang hung up the phone, feeling less uneasy.


    She was worried that Zhong Yi told her to dress nicely because she was nning to sell her. She needed to stay cautious.


    Zhong Yi knew that Luosang probably didnt have a dress, so she took the most average-looking dress out of her closet, and gave it to Luosang.


    Luosang put on the dress. She was tall and slim, and looked mysteriously elegant in that simply-designed ck dress.


    Seeing Luosang in that dress, the well-dressed Zhong Yi immediately felt unhappy. What she hated about Luosang the most was that thetter would always be prettier than her, no matter what she was wearing.


    Ill leave you to be pretty for now. Tonight, Ill make you cry, thought Zhong Yi.


    At nightfall, a light rain was falling from the sky. Luosang was holding an umbre for Zhong Yi on their way into Gu Feng.


    A cold gust of wind blew across, and made Luosang shiver. She nced at Zhong Yi who was wearing a coat, and understood something. It was November, but Zhong Yi made here out in a short dress and a pair of sandals. Clearly, Zhong Yi wanted her to freeze.

 Chapter 79. Dont Say That in Front of Luosang; That Man is Her Father After All

    Chapter 79. Don''t Say That in Front of Luosang; That Man is Her Father After All


    They walked into a private room which had an area of over a hundred square feet. The guests could have meals, y cards, sing karaoke or taste wines in this room. In the room, four people were sitting around a round table; two men and two women. The two men were apparently frequenters of ces like this. One of them was potbellied, while the other one was skinny, with an unhealthily dark skin-color which was probably caused by long-term overdrinking. As for the two women, they were clearly here to keep the two menpany.


    Eh, why didnt Mr. Yie? Hes in Xia City, isnt he? The pot bellied-man asked, whiling holding one of the two women in his arms.


    Mr. Yi is busy. He received a call earlier, and headed back to An City. So Im here alone. Zhong Yi handed her bag to Luosang while speaking.


    Luosang speechlessly took her coat and bag, then pulled the chair out for her. After that, Zhong Yi sat down slowly and elegantly.


    Luosangs series of movements caught the eyes of everyone else in the room. She wasnt as gorgeously dressed as Zhong Yi, but still, she looked like a beautiful, quietly blooming epiphyllum while standing there quietly.


    Is she a new actor from Xu Pictures? The skinny man narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said while rubbing his chin, Shes pretty. Mr. Yi is ttering us by sending her here. Compared with her, the twodies by our sides are just too average.


    Luosang felt disgusting. Judging by what the skinny man said, Yi Jingxi often sent new actors to escort these people, so he could build rapport with them. No wonder Xu Pictures had been developing so quickly under his management in thest two years.


    Her father would never let such things happen.


    Yi Jingxi used to be kind and righteous when he was with Luosang, but now, he would do anything to get what he wanted. Luosang couldnt tell if he had suddenly be like this, or if he had always been such a man.


    She was so bad at seeing through people before. For that reason, she brought her father into trouble.


    Stop joking. Zhong Yi covered her mouth with her hand while chuckling and said, Shes my assistant, and is also my friend. Shes Xu Luosang from the Xu Group, and you should all know her. Since her father went to prison, she hasnt been able to find a job, so I hired her to help me.


    Friend


    Luosang was shocked by how shameless Zhong Yi was.


    The sensitive Luosang soon found that the pot bellied mans look became more meaningful after he heard Zhong Yis words.


    Ah, so shes Xu Zhengxuans daughter, he said.


    Mr. Lin, do you know Principal Xu? Zhong Yi asked, pretending to be surprised.


    Principal, my ass. He was just fishing for fame and credit. If that man could be a real principal, Id be a governor, Mr. Linughed scornfully. When Xu Zhengxuan was still the chairman of Xu Picture, I spent tens of millions to invest in one of his movies, so I could sleep with one of his actresses. But he refused, and gave me my money back. After that, he told the public that he despised people like me. I was wondering how virtuous he was, but it turned out that hes nothing more than this.


    Every single word he said was like a hammer, hitting heavily on Luosangs heart.


    She really wanted to stand up and pour a ss of water on his face, but she couldnt do that. She had no choice but to stay silent.


    She could be slow-minded sometimes, but she had a feeling that this dinner party wasnt so simple.


    Mr. Lin, dont say that in front of Luosang. That mans her father after all, said Zhong Yi.


    Zhong Yi, youre really nice, Mr. Linughed. If Xu Luosang really treated you as her friend, her powerful dad should have made you a star long ago. But instead, you had to wait for Yi Jingxi to do that for you.


    Dont you try to sow discord between us, said Zhong Yi with a soft voice.

 Chapter 80. Youre Trying to Stay in Shape, But Ill Make You Fat

    Chapter 80. You''re Trying to Stay in Shape, But I''ll Make You Fat


    Alright, enough about her. Come on, have something to drink, Mr. Lin said and began pouring his own wine.


    Luosang silently looked at the people in the room. Zhong Yi, it was so unfair for you to only win a neer award this year. You should be awarded as best actress, as youre so good at acting, she thought.


    While Luosang was thinking, Zhong Yi kicked her gently under the table, then mouthed at her, Drink for me.


    Mr. Lin and the other man called Supervisor Chang were proposing a toast to Zhong Yi. So, as her assistant, Luosang should now put herself forward and do the drinking for her.


    However, she wasnt stupid. She couldnt tell if these people were trying to make her drunk, and Zhong Yi who used to be her good friend knew exactly of her drinking capacity.


    She pretended that nothing had happened, while nicely picking a piece of pork leg into Zhong Yis rice bowl.


    Youre trying to stay in shape, but Ill make you fat, she thought.


    Zhong Yi was so angry, but she couldnt show it on face. She gave an even warmer smile, finished a ss of wine, then put a hand on her forehead while waving another, saying, I still need to talk to Mr. Yi over the phone tonight. If he finds me being drunk, hed lecture me again. Ill let my assistant drink with you. She has a good capacity for alcohol.


    Luosang sneered. Now youre revealing your true purpose, she thought.


    In this case, Miss. Xu Mr. Lin directly poured Luosang a full cup of Baijiu.


    Luosang, dont worry, just drink. Ill send you back if you get drunk, said Zhong Yi caringly.


    At this point, Luosang had no choice but to do what Zhong Yi said.


    Before, she would get drunk on three cups of Baijiu. Aftering to Xia City, she had managed to turn that number into four through practice.


    She finished two cups of Baijiu, then began to feel dizzy. So, she hurriedly stood up and said, I need to go to the bathroom.


    Go, we have one in our room, Mr. Lin pointed at the right side of the room with a faint smile.


    Luosang clenched her teeth. It seemed that these people wouldnt give her a chance to run away.


    After getting into the bathroom, she closed the door and took out her phone, trying to call someone to help her. However, she looked through her contact lists and found that she didnt really have any friends in Xia City.


    She thought for a moment, then called Yan Su. The call was answered, and some noises were heard from the phone. Luosang guessed that Yan Su was working in the bar at the moment.


    Su, Im in Gu Feng Club, can you pleasee here? Im at a dinner party now, and I might get into some troublester. I need an excuse to leave. But of course, if youre too busy


    Thats alright, Ill be on my way, Yan Su interrupted her.


    Dont lose your phone. Contact me at any time you need. If the situation gets urgent, Ill call the police, said Yan Su.


    Hearing that, Luosang was relieved a little.


    She washed her face, then went out. The two women who were supposed to keep the two men inpany had left already.


    Miss. Xu, youve spent a rather long while in the bathroom, Mr. Lin stood up, face blushed. He put an arm on Luosangs shoulder, while trying to thrust a cup of Baijiu in her hand.


    Mr. Lin, Im really drunk, I cant have anymore, Luosang pushed his hand away.


    Little girl, Im showing you my respect by offering this. Dont think yourself as a princess. Your father is in prison, and he cant protect you now, Mr. Lin grinned and warned Luosang, Im telling you this, Im one of the shareholders of this club, so without my word, you wont be able to leave this ce.


    Luosangs heart began thumping. She nced at Zhong Yi, but found that thetter was looking at her phone and texting someone smilingly, as if everything in this room had nothing to do with her.


    At that moment, Luosang figured out everything.


    However, she didnt think that Mr. Lin would be a shareholder of this club. In this case, it would really be a little difficult for her to get out.


    Alright, Mr. Lin, Ill definitely ept your respect, Luosang gritted her teeth and finished the cup of Baijiu. A couple of minuetster, she pretended to be drunk, lying on the table, as if she was falling unconscious.


    Mr. Lin pushed her for a few times, but she didnt open her eyes.

 Chapter 81. Whyre You Barking? Is Something in There?

    Chapter 81. Why''re You Barking? Is Something in There?


    Shes drunk already. This girl is a wimpy drinker, Mr. Linughed and said.


    Alright, she can only drink this much. Zhong Yi stood up with her purse and said, Mr. Lin, Ill leave with Supervisor Chang now and leave her to you. Have a good time.


    Mr. Lin, youre really lucky. Dont forget to let me know when youre done with her. Supervisor Chang patted Mr. Lin on the shoulder, then left with Zhong Yi.


    Hearing the door m, Luosangs heart sank. She was was pretending to be drunk. She could never have thought that this dinner party was arranged for this very purpose.


    Who ned all of this? Zhong Yi? Yi Jingxi?


    Judging by what Zhong Yi said, Yi Jingxi knew about what had happened.


    Yi Jingxi, we used to be together no matter how. Ive given you so much, but you didnt love me. Youve humiliated me as much as you wanted, which is fine now. But, did you have to do this to me?


    At that moment, she waspletely disappointed with that man.


    Click. She heard that the door lock, and then saw Mr. Lin walk toward her.


    She lied on the table filled with dishes and wine bottles and nced around through her narrowed eyes.


    If she wanted to run, she needed to do it while Mr. Lin was unprepared. She wouldnt have a chance to escape if he found out that she was pretending to be drunk, because she couldnt possibly win the wrestle against him. That was the reason why she pretended to be drunk.


    Xu Zhengxuan, Xu Zhengxuan do you remember how arrogant you used to be? You despised me, but did you ever think that one day, your precious daughter would be destroyed by me? Mr. Lin took off his coat while smirking, then bent over to hold Luosang. Right at that moment, Luosang picked up a wine bottle and smashed it fiercely on his head.


    It was the first time she had ever hit anyone. She used only about seventy percent of her strength, as she was afraid that she might kill him if she hit him with her full strength.


    Mr. Lin suffered a bottle strike and had blood gushing out of his head. He instantly felt dizzy.


    Luosang took the opportunity to shove him away, then opened the door and rushed out.


    Earlier, when she came in, she had memorized the route. When she ran to the second floor, she found that a couple of security guards were standing by the main entrance of the club and seemed to be looking for someone.


    She didnt feel right, so she turned back to walk upstairs. She had to hide to avoid running into the groups of security guards patrolling in the club.


    Whats going on? a passing guest murmured.


    I heard that someone attacked a shareholder of Gu Feng, and theyre looking for the attacker.


    How dare anyone attack Gu Fengs people? Who could be so audacious? This attacker is throwing his or her own life away.


    Luosang gave a bitter smile. This time, Zhong Yi had pushed her into a big trap. Even if she managed to get out, she would still be in trouble.


    She nced at the surveince camera above her head, then continued moving. She picked only the cameras blind spots to sneak past, and atst, she hade to a dead end, with nothing but a washroom in that area. The washroom was quiet, seeming to be empty.


    She thought for a moment, then sneaked into the mens room. Normally, women tended to hide in thedies room, so the mens room was rtively safer for her in the current situation.


    She hid in a stall and soon heard footsteps from the outside. Before long, the sounds of running water could be heard from the quiet washroom.


    Luosang blushed slightly. She just hoped that whoever was using the toilet could leave as soon as possible.


    At that moment, dog barks were suddenly heard from the outside, and a dog began scratching the door of the washroom.


    Luosang was so nervous that her heart started pounding.


    Mr. Lin hasnt sent out hounds to find me, has he?


    Whyre you barking? Is something in there?


    She heard a mans voice, which was very pleasant. She felt like she had heard that voice somewhere before.


    In her emergency, she showed her resourcefulness. What else could be in here? Someones using the bathroom. She responded with a deep and dry voice, making herself sound like a man.


    At that very moment, she really wanted to thank herself for learning to be a voice actor, because she was able to make herself sound like almost any creature in the world.

 Chapter 82. Long Time No See, Mr. Nian

    Chapter 82. Long Time No See, Mr. Nian


    The man outside remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenlyughed with a deep voice and said, Yeah? My dog used to be a police dog, so he wouldnt bark for no reason. He barked because something suspicious is in there. You better show your face, or Ill call security.


    Something suspicious?


    Which part of me is suspicious? I bet the dog has something wrong with its nose, thought Luosang, How unlucky am I? Im hiding in the toilet, but still, a crazy dog detected me.


    Based on what the dog owner said, he was a guest of the club instead of a security guard. Forget it, if he asks about why Im in the mens roomter, Ill tell him that Im a transgender and that I can only use the mens room.


    She took a deep breath, then opened the door of her stall.


    Before she could see who was out there, a giant ck and white dog pounced on her. She was so frightened that her entire body tightened. She thought that she would be bitten by the dog, but instead, the dog sprung into her arms and licked her face with excitement.


    Luosang felt her legs rx. The dog was gigantic, but she was shocked by how friendly he was. However, she noticed that the dog looked a little familiar.


    The man outside yanked the dogs leash while yelling, Xiaosi,e over here. What are you doing? I know you want to fall in love, but shes a human, not a dog.


    The dog seemed very obedient to him. He howled and let himself be dragged to the side, but didnt stop happily wagging his tail to Luosang.


    Luosang caught her breath and looked at the man outside. He was tall and strong, his brown Gi suit emphasized his perfect body shape, and matched with a dark-colored shirt underneath. It seemed that he was a bit tipsy after some drinks, as his shirt cor buttons were undone, and his jacket was unbuttoned. He was standing under the warm light of the retro-styled washroom, upying the whole space with his charming vibe.


    Seeing his face, Luosang paused in shock.


    Nian Junting.


    She would have never thought that hed be the one standing outside the stall she was hiding in. No wonder his voice sounded familiar.


    And the dog was named Xiaosi. Was it the same Xiaosi? She hadnt seen Xiaosi in eight months, but he had already be so much chubbier than before.


    She curiously looked at Xiaosi who was now squatting in a corner. She wasnt afraid of him anymore, but found him rather adorable.


    Her side profile was stunning. Her eyes were halfway drooped, and her eyshes looked like butterfly wings, leaving a series of beautiful shadows under themplight. Looking at her face, Nian Junting found it indescribably familiar.


    He frowned, stared at her from head to toe. He always had a good memory. He could tell for sure that he had met her before, but couldnt recall where or when. Yet, he had no exnation to forget such a beautiful woman, even though he wasnt an amorous man.


    Who are you? Why are you hiding in the mens room? shouted Nian Junting as he took a step forward and pinched her chin to turn her face to him. He gazed straight at her, looked at her pink, cherry-like lips and her dark but bright eyes.


    His heart flipped as her name escaped his mouth, Luosang


    After saying that, he regretted it. He had doubted Luosang could be so pretty. He thought that he could be mistaken, because there were so many women in the world who looked alike.


    As he prepared to apologize, Luosang smiled sheepishly and said, Mr. Nian, long time no see.


    Are you really Luosang? said Nian Junting with surprise. Suddenly, the look in his face turned weird.


    He put down his hand, then began looking at her up and down as if he was a scanner.


    She was wearing a ck dress that made her skin looked as beautiful as jade. Her body was beautifully shaped, and her hair was slightly curled while hanging loosely over her shoulder. She seemed so mysterious, bright, and beautiful.

 Chapter 83. I Havent Seen You For A While, It Turned Out that You Went to Get Plastic Surgery

    Chapter 83. I Haven''t Seen You For A While, It Turned Out that You Went to Get stic Surgery


    She not only became prettier, but also looked younger than before. She now looked like a 20-year-old girl, so full of youthful spirit.


    Nian Junting spent a while in a trance, then said slowly, with a veryplicated tone, I havent seen you in a while. You mustve gotten stic surgery.


    Luosang was speechless.


    Youve been trying really hard to attract my attention, Nian Junting sighed. But, didnt you say that you went back to An City? Why are you still in Xia City?


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. Her lips twitched, feeling that Mr. Nian had be even more narcissistic than before. But somehow, the uneasy Luosang, who was stuck in a difficult situation suddenly felt relieved when she saw Nian Junting. It was probably because she knew that he was a proud but nice man who only looked cold and hard to get along.


    Seeing her remain silent, Nian Junting nodded and continued, That makes sense actually. The stic Surgery Centers in Xia City are much better than those in An City. It is, indeed, safer for you to do your surgery here. But you should have told me, as mypany has invested in quite a few nice beauty institutions. I couldve called them, and maybe I couldve gotten you a 90-percent discount.


    Luosang sighed silently. She couldnt let him continue using his imagination, so she said, Mr. Nian, I did not have stic surgery.


    Nian Junting chuckled and responded with, Every woman who gets stic surgery says that.


    Luosang again didnt know how to respond.


    But why are you hiding in the mens room? Nian Junting suddenly noticed their current situation, so his handsome face was suddenly upied by a strange look. Youre not here to peek at the men whoe here to use the toilet Are you?


    How could that be possible? Luosangs face blushed immediately.


    I might believe you if you were another woman, but youve done such things before. Nian Junting gave her a sideways nce and said, Youve always liked to peep at my private part. Who knows if you have a repulsive addiction?


    I was sponge-bathing you, alright? Luosang was so speechless. She really hadnt met any other man who was as good at ming people as he was. I hurt someone. Thats why Im hiding here.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and asked, But why didnt you hide in thedies room? It seems that your choice made in an urgent situation has revealed your peepers soul.


    Luosang honestly didnt know how to continue the conversation. I did it after consideration. Normally, women tend to hide indies room, so I did the exact opposite.


    Nian Junting knitted his brows, seeming to be thinking about whether or not he should believe her words. As he prepared to say something, the disordered footsteps and the sounds of voices could be heard from the outside.


    Ive seen the surveince video. I think she hase this way. Lets see if we can find her here.


    Theyre here for me. I need your help, Luosang knew that she had nowhere to hide. It was already toote for her to hide in a toilet stall.


    Who did you offend? Before Nian Junting finished his words, he saw that Luosang suddenly pulled off a strap of her dress, then jumped into his arms.


    Right after that, four or five security guards broke in. When Nian Junting turned to look at them, Luosang already put her arms around his neck to hold him tight. She even beganining to him with a soft and seductive voice.


    Ah-um, I told you not to do it here. See, so many people are here, she said.


    Her voice was sweet and as soft as water. Nian Junting froze immediately, as if an electric current had gone through his body. Luosang was holding him so tight that almost every part of their bodies were pressed together. The aroma of her hair and her soft body made a warmth rise straight to his head from his lower belly.


    This woman


    He felt that his body was on fire, as if he had really done something with her here in this washroom.

 Chapter 84. I Like Doing It in the Toilet

    Chapter 84. I Like Doing It in the Toilet


    This woman


    Nian Junting felt that his whole body was on fire, as if he had truly done something here.


    How could she even say something like that? Shes so shameless, he thought.


    Sorry, sorry, I dont know that youre in the toilet The few security guards who broke in were embarrassed by this scene as well, and didnt know what to do.


    After all, the guests of this club were either wealthy or high-positioned, so these security guards couldnt afford to offend any of them.


    Please continue please While speaking, they hurriedly turned back to leave.


    One of them couldnt help but turn around to remind Nian Junting, Eh Actually, we have rooms upstairs, luxuriously decorated


    Nian Junting turned his head with a grim look and said, I like doing it in the toilet. Whats wrong about it?


    The security guys face blushed, thinking that rich people do have strange preferences these days. My bad, Ill leave you two alone.


    After saying that, he didnt dare to linger for another second.


    Hearing the footsteps fading away, Luosang hurriedly struggled out of Nian Juntings arms and pulled her shoulder strap back up as soon as possible. While doing that, her face blushed scarlet.


    For the first time in her life, she had done something so ridiculous.


    Now, as she had calmed down and thought about what she did, she felt utterly embarrassed.


    Why on earth did I do that? She thought.


    Sorry, Mr. Nian, It was urgent Luosang tucked her hair behind her ear and said apologetically, You know.


    Nian Junting stared at her. His handsome face had somehow turned dark, as he felt an emptiness around his chest after she freed herself from his arms.


    I dont know, he said.


    Hearing that, Luosang even wanted to bite her own tongue off.


    Normally, people would react instinctively under an urgent situation, Nian Junting squinted at her and said, You reacted surprisingly fast. Youve imagined that many times, havent you?


    Eh? Luosang was confused.


    I havent seen you for so long, but you havent changed at all. Youre still trying everything you can to take advantage of me. You wont miss any chance. I dont even know if I shouldpliment you for your fast reaction, or use you for being shameless. He looked down at her, snorted like a proud peacock, then continued, But, I have many friends in this club. Do you have any idea how badly it might affect my reputation if the others heard about what happened just now? The people who know nothing about the truth might think that Im a horny man.


    Before Luosang could feel speechless for the first part of his speech, she was embarrassed by what he said next.


    Im sorry, I she said.


    As long as you know that youve done a wrong thing. Next time, pay attention to your deeds, Nian Junting interrupted her, said, Fortunately, Im the one you ran into. Other men might not be able to stay as calm as I am.


    Luosang pressed her lips together.


    Nian Junting continued talking, Tell me, who did you hurt? What exactly happened? Theyve sent out arge group of people to look for you. It seems that youve offended a powerful man. You managed to dodge them just now, but its still a little difficult for you to get out of this club.


    I heard that hes one of the clubs shareholders. I only know that hes called Mr. Lin. Earlier at dinner, he tried to make me drunk deliberately, and attempted to take advantage of me. I had no choice but to attack him with a wine bottle, then ran out. Facing Nian Juntings gaze, Luosangs heart was warmed, so he told him what happened. She understood that she needed his help to get out of the club tonight.


    I thought this is a decent club. I never knew that such a thing could happen here, he knitted his brows, eyes showing a deep disgust. You did the right thing. Women should learn to protect themselves indeed.


    Luosang paused. Her heart which had been submerged in coldness and helplessness now sensed a faint warmth. She prepared to say something, but suddenly, Nian Junting continued with a deep voice, But, that Mr. Lin is so desperate for women that hed even take one who has had stic surgeries.

 Chapter 85. Next Time When You Want to Allure Me, Wear More Clothes

    Chapter 85. Next Time When You Want to Allure Me, Wear More Clothes


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    Alright, I shouldnt have felt touched.


    Dont worry. After all, you used to take care of me. I wont let anything happen to you in this ce. While speaking, Nian Junting took out his phone and turned to make a phone call.


    Hello, Director Zhang. I want to report something to you. Im in the Gu Feng Club at the moment, and Ive identally discovered that some improper trading is happenings in this ce. You should send your people as soon as possible. Its alright, reporting things like this is the duty of every citizen.


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched slightly. Do you have to make it sound so righteous?


    She had thought about calling the police before. However, she also understood that such arge, private club must have a solid background in Xia City, so calling the police wouldnt have been helpful to her. But to her surprise, Nian Junting directly called the police chief to report this.


    Rich and powerful people are living a different life indeed.


    After hanging up the phone, Nian Junting turned back to find that Luosangs eyes were sparkling beautifully under themplight. And she was wearing such a thin dress that seemed to need some protection.


    He praised her in his head. She has a much better sense of fashion than before.


    Rx. After tonight, Mr. Lin will spend the rest of his life in prison. He wont be able to bring you any trouble, he said.


    Luosang gave a start and said, Can the police find any proof? This club should have a strong background, right?


    Whatever background they have, its nothing inparison with the Nian Family. Nian Junting gave a scornful smile and said, The police can find any proof they want in a ce like this. What do you think that group of women by the front door are here for? Besides, the police will visit without warning, so the people wont have enough time to run.


    Youre right, Luosang nodded, then raised her head and said gratefully, Thank you, Mr. Nian.


    Em, Nian Junting felt a little ufortable under her gaze.


    He never noticed it before, but now, he felt that her eyes were extremely alluring. Wheres your coat? he asked.


    I didnt wear one, she responded awkwardly.


    As she had expected, Nian Juntings face darkened after he heard what she said. Its so cold, but you came out wearing such a thin piece of dress. No wonder some man tried to do things to you.


    Luosang lowered her head. She knew that he would think that way. Its not what you think she tried to exin.


    If its not like what I said, did you wear like this on purpose because you knew that I was going to be here? he asked without thinking.


    Thats not true either said Luosang.


    Did Sister Lan tell you that Im here? Or Lu Kang? Nian Junting continued asking questions with a serious look. You got along with Sister Lan and Lu Kang quite well before. You were really thinking ahead.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Its you who has been thinking ahead.


    Luosang decided to change the topic. Should we get out? This is the mens room after all. People maye in at any time.


    Now you know that people maye in, Nian Junting sneered and responded. He turned, made two steps, then suddenly turned back.


    Luosang, who followed close behind him, wasnt prepared for that. She bumped into his chest. Her nose hit his strong chest muscles. It hurt so badly that it squeezed a few teardrops out of her eyes.


    Mr. Nian, why did you stop so suddenly? she asked.


    Her voice was soft. She didnt realize that she sounded like she was grumbling in a flirtish manner.


    Nian Junting lowered his head to look at her. Without any preparation, he saw her snow-white chest and her cleavage.


    He blinked, knitted his brows, then took off his brown-colored jacket and put it around her shoulders. After that, he warned her, Next time, wear more clothes when you try to allure me. Dont catch a cold.


    The unique manly vibe that belonged to the jacket immediately wrapped her up. Luosangs body was warmed, so was her heart.


    Maybe it was because she was exhausted, because she didnt try to argue against him; instead, she simply responded with a hum. But of course, arguing was unlikely to be helpful to her.

 Chapter 86. How Can I be Allured so Easily by A Black Dress?

    Chapter 86. How Can I be Allured so Easily by A ck Dress?


    I knew that she came to the club wearing like this because of me, thought Nian Junting.


    Shes so dumb.


    He had seen so many women in all sorts of dresses, so he believed that he would never be allured so easily by a ck dress. Even though she was the prettiest one among all the women in dresses he had ever seen.


    However, he believed that he wouldnt be impressed just so easily.


    After getting out of the washroom, Luosang saw that Lu Kang walked over and said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, youve been out for long. I thought youre drunk


    His eyes were fixed on Luosang while he was speaking. When giving her a closer look, he paused briefly then asked, Eh? This is


    Hi, Mr. Lu. Im Luosang. Luosang hurriedly greeted him with a smile, Do you remember me?


    Miss. Luo Lu Kang was surprised. His gentle eyes were immediately filled with shock. I really didnt recognize you. Youre much prettier. I was so blind before that I failed to find that youre actually so beautiful.


    Luosang smiled. Meanwhile, she couldnt help but nce at Nian Junting.


    Thats how normal people greet each there when meeting again after a long separation. What he said is so much more pleasant than your words. She wanted to tell Nian Junting these.


    Nian Junting who stood beside her frowned grumpily, because Luosang didnt smile so brightly just now when she saw him.


    But then, he thought that she might be trying to hide her true feelings back then. She always liked to conceal her real emotions anyway.


    He also felt that it was unnecessary for Luosang and Lukang to pretend that they hadnt seen each other for long, because he believed that Lu Kang was the one who leaked his whereabouts, and he should be in secret contact with Luosang the whole time.


    How can just a couple sses of wine make me drunk? Nian Junting interrupted the conversation between Luosang and Lukang, which he believed was an act, and said, Lets go. Police will soon arrive this ce. I dont want to stay here any longer.


    Lu Kang was confused. As he prepared to ask about what had happened, Luosangs phone began ringing.


    Luosang checked her phone and saw Yan Sus number. Only after that did she recall that she had called Yan Su for help.


    She hurriedly answered the call, then heard Yan Sus anxious voice saying, Im right at the front door, but I cant get in. This is such a fancy ce. But, whats happening here? Therere lots of security guards by the door.


    Dont try getting in. Iming out, said Luosang with a low voice. After hanging up the phone, she said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, my friend is here to pick me up.


    Boyfriend? I wonder whos that lucky guy. Who did he manage to be with such a pretty girl? Said Lu Kang without thinking.


    Nian Junting expressionlessly nced at him, wondering why didnt he find out that his assistant is actually so dumb before. He believed that he was the only man that Luosang wanted to be with, so she couldnt possibly be with another man. Besides, since she had met him, how could she ever like any other man?


    Ku Kang didnt know why Nian Junting looked at him like that, but had faintly sensed that his boss wasnt happy. So, he asked nervously, Mr. Nian, didnt I say something wrong?


    No. Nian Junting slightly moved his nicely shaped thin lips.


    I dont have a boyfriend, Luosang exined, Thats a female friend of mine.


    Lets go downstairs, Nian Junting threw the dog leash to Lu Kang, then rested his hands in his pocket, and began walking downstairs.


    Luosang followed him downstairs. Walking behind the super-rich Nian Junting, Luosang now feared nothing.


    Lu Kang walked by her side. Xiaosi was clinging to Luosangs leg.


    When she worked in Nian Family, she used to save Xiaosi a lot of delicious treats every time she cooked a meal. So, even though she was only there for a short period of time, Xiaosi liked her very much.


    Mr. Lu, howe Xiaosi has gained so much weight? Luosang rubbed Xiaosis head, couldnt help but ask.


    He was disappointed in a love affair, Lu Kang responded smilingly, Earlier, he fell in love with a Pomeranian, but that girl didnt have a crush on him. After that, he started overeating.

 Chapter 87. Luosang Didnt Know How To Keep Distance From Other Men

    Chapter 87. Luosang Didn''t Know How To Keep Distance From Other Men


    Luosang chuckled and said, I cant imagine the huge Xiaosi falling love with a tiny Pomeranian. He could literally crush it, right? Its perfectly normal that the Pomeranian didnt like him.


    Lu Kang nodded, with a smile, while saying, Exactly. Mr. Nian brought him out today because he had been so downhearted staying at home every day. Normally, Mr. Nian is too busy to take him out.


    Can you bring a dog to a ce like this? Luosang asked.


    Ordinary people cant, but Mr. Nian isnt an ordinary man, Lu Kang responded.


    Was Xiaosi a police dog? Luosang suddenly recalled what she heard from Nian Junting earlier in the washroom.


    Yeah. He was given to Mr. Nian as a gift from Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng took part in a fewrge-scale drug busts in the country, and Xiaosi used to follow him. Later on, Xiaosi retired because of injuries. So, Mr. Feng gave him to Mr. Nian, exined Lu Kang. Xiaosi isnt as nimble as before, but hes still very sensitive to drugs and bad guys.


    Luosang now understood why Nian Junting suspected that someone was using drugs in the washroom earlier. It seemed that he and Xiaosi shared the same kind of past.


    Hearing that the conversation between Luosang and Lukang was getting happier and happier, Nian Junting, who walked at the front, felt like he was being treated like an invisible man. Therefore, the look in his face turned sullener and sullener.


    Luosang just doesnt know how to keep a distance from other men. Since she wants me, she does need to build a good rtionship with my assistant, but why does it seem that she has more to talk about with him than she has with me? We never did so much talking when she worked for me.


    No wonder she hasnt yet had a boyfriend. Shes doing it very wrongly.


    When they were nearly at the main entrance of the club, Mr. Lin suddenly showed up and yelled, one hand pressing on the wound on his forehead while another pointing at Luosang.


    Go! Get her! She was the one who attacked me!


    Soon, a few security guards rushed over and encircled Nian Junting, Lu Kang, and Luosang.


    Luosang nced at Nian Junting and saw that he silently took a step backward to shield her right.


    Whore you? Piss off! Mr. Lin was so angry that he shouted tremblingly without even looking at Nian Junting.


    Nian Juntingzily raised his eyelids. His eyes were filled with coldness and disgust.


    He looked down at Mr. Lin from head to toe. Thetter seemed to be in his forties, bald, with fat shaking on his face.


    You wanted Luosang? Shes too good for you, even before getting stic surgery.


    He raised his eyebrows and asked, Are you sure that you want me to piss off?


    Who are you? Ive told you to piss off, so what? yelled Mr. Lin, with his finger pointed at Nian Juntings nose.


    The leader of the security team who stood beside Mr. Lin stared at Nian Junting for a short while. Suddenly, his legs started to shiver. He grasped Mr. Lins arm and said, Mr. Lin, calm down, I think he is


    Shut up! Are you people pigs? What are you waiting for? Go get her Before he finished his words, his finger was suddenly gripped and broken by Nian Junting. IHe burst in screams because of the pain and nearly kneeled on the ground.


    For a long time, no one has dared point a finger at me. Thest person who told me to piss off doesnt even have the guts toe back to Xia City now. Nian Junting bent over to stare at Mr. Lin in the eyes while saying with a deep and cold voice, Look at yourself. Youre like a toad drooling at a swan. No, calling you a toad would be apliment to you.


    Mr. Lin looked at him with a painful look. Nian Junting had no expression in his face, yet his eyes somehow made Mr. Lin tremble with fear. However, Mr. Lin had never suffered anything like this his whole life, so he yelled at the security guards to do something.

 Chapter 88. How Can Xu Luosang know Someone Like Nian Junting?

    Chapter 88. How Can Xu Luosang know Someone Like Nian Junting?


    Most of the security guards didnt dare to make any move, as they saw that their leader seem to flinch instead of stepping forward. A daring one who was eager to fawn on Mr. Lin rushed forward, but before he could approach Nian Junting, Xiaosi sprung up and threw him to the ground, showing a fierce look that made the rest of the security team draw back.


    Get off me! Do you know who I am? I have friends in the police department Mr. Lin shouted out loud.


    Right before that, arge group of policemen walked in from the outside. Police! This is a casual inspection, move away!


    Captain He! Save me! Mr. Lins eyes glowed when he recognized Captain He who was leading the group, as if thetter was his life-savior. Captain He was responsible for this area, and he had met Mr. Lin from a dinner party.


    These bastards are making troubles in our club. Look, he has a dog! He broke my finger! Im calling the police now! You should arrest them all! Yelled Mr. Lin.


    Captain He nced at him with disgust. Back at that dinner party, he already felt that Mr. Lin was a brainless person. And now, thetter seemed to be even stupider. How could any ordinary person bring a dog to a club like this? It must be a privilege given by the other shareholders. Making troubles? Said Captain He, I think youre confused. Do you know who he is? Hes the son of Commander Nian, and Commander Nian is themander of the Xia City Military Region. He had served his time in the army and won honor for our country when he was young. Im telling you, someone turned your club in for improper trading tonight.


    Finished speaking, he waved his hand. Following his move, the policemen behind him quickly rushed into the club to start a surprise inspection.


    Mr. Lins legs were softened. He couldnt have imagined that Nian Junting had such a powerful family background.


    But, how could Xu Luosang know someone like Nian Junting? He silently cursed Zhong Yi for bringing him into such a huge trouble.


    What was worse, the policemen arrived so suddenly tonight that he and his club had no preparation for it at all. It would be more than easy for the police to find plenty of evidence against him and the other owners of this ce while they were unprepared.


    Seeing that the situation was going in a bad way for him, Mr. Lin hurriedly dragged Captain Hes arm and said fawningly, Captain He, you see


    Captain He swept his hand away, then walked straight to Nian Junting and said, Mr. Nian, Ive heard so much about you.


    Nian Junting nced at him with a pair of dark eyes, then said with a deep and attractive voice, Captain He, how old are you?


    Thir-thirty-eight, Captain He responded nervously.


    Its the right age for you, after saying that, Nian Junting walked toward the front door.


    He thirty-eight, so how could say that Ive served my time in the army when I was young? Am I not young now? Thought Nian Junting.


    Captain He uneasily shook his legs, then hurriedly asked Lu Kang who was behind Nian Junting, Did I say something wrong?


    Lu Kang frowned and responded with, I cant tell for sure. But dont worry, Mr. Nian has always been respecting policemen.


    I think you shouldnt say the words when he was young, Luosang said with a low voice after hesitation.


    However, Nian Junting heard her clearly. He paused slightly, then continued walking, looking steadily forward.


    Under the hopeless situation, Mr. Lin still wasnt willing to give up. He attempted to follow up and to beg Nian Junting, but Xiaosi stopped him from doing that and barked fiercely at him. Seeing that Mr. Lin was frightened, Xiaosi then proudly wagged his tail and hurriedly caught up with his owner.


    Luosang coldly red at the pale-faced Mr. Lin. Somehow, she felt good.


    She couldnt imagine how badly she would have suffered if she didnt luckily run into Nian Junting tonight.


    She walked out of the club to find that the rain had stopped. When she arrived earlier, the raindrops were falling on her skin, cold as ice; but when she left, she was wearing a mans jacket which was warm and soft.

 Chapter 89. You Think I Care About Those Three Words?

    Chapter 89. You Think I Care About Those Three Words?


    Luosang looked at the tall and sturdy man who walked before her, wearing only a shirt. As she prepared to give his jacket back to him, Nian Junting abruptly stopped, slightly turned his body to give her a sideways nce, then said, Do you think I care about those three words? Do I look like such a narrow-minded person?


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    Out of shame, Lu Kang as Nian Juntings assistant really wanted to cover his own face at that moment.


    Boss, you truly are a narrow-minded person. How could you say that so confidently?


    Luosang, are you okay? Through the shadow of night, Yan Su quickly walked over. She was wearing a simply-designed pair of ripped jeans and a baseball jacket with raindrops sparkling on her ck and shiny ponytail. A few moist and tousled locks of hair were sticking on her delicate face, making her look beautiful and captivating.


    Lu Kangs heart skipped a beat. He quietly walked to Nian Junting and ventured to say in a low voice, Mr. Nian, Miss. Luo didnt only make herself prettier. Her friend is pretty too.


    Nian Junting expressionlessly nced at his assistant.


    Im alright, said Luosang. She felt that her heart was warmed. Ever since Zhong Yi betrayed her, she didnt dare to believe any friend. But now she was somehow touched when seeing Yan Suing at her, wearing soaked clothes. Why didnt you bring an umbre? She asked.


    I didnt bring my umbre when I left the dorm today. Earlier, I left my work in a hurry, so I didnt have the time to borrow one. while speaking, Yan Su was looking the two young men beside Luosang from head to toe. She felt that the two neatly dressed men dont look like bad guys.


    As his boss didnt seem to want to talk, Lu Kang stepped up and exined smilingly, Hello, were Ms. Luos friends. We happened to meet her in a club.


    Yan Su turned to Luosang. As Luosang nodded, she finally stopped worrying.


    Mr. Nian, thank you for helping me today. Itste, we should head back, said Luosang. She took off the jacket and handed it to Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting stared at her exposed shoulders for a while, then responded with, Put it on. Where do you live? Ill drive you.


    Luosang paused and knitted her brows. The encounter between her and Nian Junting tonight was an ident. She didnt want Nian Junting to be a part of her current life. After all, they lived in two different worlds.


    This ce is far away from downtown. Its not safe for two pretty girls like you to take an Uber at night. Besides, it seems like the rain is going to fall again soon. You dont have an umbre. Its better for us to just drive you to where you live. Were all friends after all. Lu Kang smiled friendly and said, Please wait here, Ill go get the car.


    After he finished talking, he quickly walked toward the parking lot without waiting for Luosang to respond.


    Right at that moment, a few tiny drops of rain fell from the sky.


    Nian Justing bent over slightly to rub Xiaosis soft fur with one hand with the other hand resting in his pocket. He didnt say anything. Luosang and Yan Su nced at each other, both remaining silent.


    In the weird silence, Nian Junting knitted his brows tighter and tighter.


    Didnt Luosang talk a lot about Xiaosi with Lu Kang just now? Im the one she likes, but why isnt she saying anything now?


    Hows she gonna chase me then?


    About five minutester, Lu Kang showed up driving a ck Maybach. The unique design of the car made Yan Su show a surprised look in her eyes. She didnt know much about cars, but she understood that this car would be one of the newest luxury vehicles on the market, as she hadnt seen any car like it before.


    Is this a new car? asked Luosang smilingly.


    Em, Nian Junting responded.


    Lu Kang got out of the car to open the backseat door. Nian Junting bent over to get into the car with Xiao Si.


    Luosang nced at the empty front seat. Yan Su was there, so she had no reason to take the front seat and leave Yan Su to sit in the back seat with Nian Junting. Therefore, she had no choice but to take the backseat as well.

 Chapter 90. Arent You Thirty? Did you Lie to Me?

    Chapter 90. Aren''t You Thirty? Did you Lie to Me?


    When Yan Su sat into the front seat, Lu Kang started the car.


    Please send us to Xi Mei College of Communication, said Yan Su politely.


    Are you studying there? Lu Kang gave a start and asked.


    THats impossible, Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, How can she possibly get into Xi Mei at her age?


    Yan Su knew that Nian Junting wasnt talking about herself. So, out of curiosity, she asked, What about Luosangs age? Shes young, isnt she?


    Young? Nian Junting frowned. His heart leaped as he abruptly turned to the beautifuldy beside her and asked, Arent you thirty? Did you lie to me?


    Sorry, Mr. Nian, Luosang responded apologetically, I lied about my real age for work. Actually, Im twenty-two.


    Twenty-two! Nian Junting found himself having troubles to remain calm at that moment. He uncrossed his legs, eyes showing a trace of anger. Why did you lie to me? How ridiculous. Whats so inconvenient about your work?


    He didnt understand. Was she worrying that I might have some improper thoughts about her?


    How ridiculous. If thats true, I must look like an idiot in her eyes. And I always said that shes older than me so Id never want to be with her.


    But in fact, she was actually younger than him, so her age wouldnt be a problem.


    What was she thinking back at that time? Sneakilyughing at me for not being able to tell her true age?


    Was it because she believed that she wouldnt have a chance even if she told me about her true age, as she hadnt taken her stic surgeries?


    Does she think that she now has a chance, because her stic surgeries are sessful?


    Nian Junting had lots of thoughts at that moment.


    Du Kang sensed that the atmosphere in the car had suddenly turned cold, so he hurriedly exined for Luosang, I think Miss. Luo lied about her age because she worried that her patients might think a twenty-two years old girl as inexperienced and unreliable. I think thats why she told us that shes thirty, right?


    Yeah, Luosang gratefully nced at Lu Kang, then nodded.


    I still felt you were inexperienced and unreliable even though I thought that youre thirty, the look in Nian Juntings face turned slightly better, but he was still angry. What kind of nursing care center youre from? Theyre so unprofessional. How dare they lie about the age of their employee? Can they fake the certificates of capabilities too? Steward Wu just couldnt do the job properly. Back then, he told me that your care center is rmended by a friend. The older he gets, the more muddleheaded he became.


    Hearing his words, Luosang was frightened. It seemed that she had gotten both Steward Wu and Sister Miao from the care center into troubles. That has nothing to do with Steward Wu and Sister Miao, she exined, Sister Miao from the Nursing Care Center kindly helped me, because I was along away from home, with no one to rely on at that time. But of course, she had tested me for my professional skills before agreeing to help me. The Nursing Care Center is undoubtedly professional. Didnt you recover quickly under my care? Thats the best proof.


    Nian Junting snorted proudly. The others couldnt tell if he agreed with Luosang or not.


    Ku Kang hurriedly changed the topic, So, Miss. Luo and Miss. Yan, are you both studying in Xi Mei? What major? Youre not nning on bing stars? Are you?


    Yan Su too had felt that the atmosphere in the backseat was little strange, so she responded with, Luosang is majored in broadcasting, while Im in music. Were roommates.


    You both have beautiful voices, said Lu Kang knowingly, It seems that youre cut out for your chosen majors. But since youre both so pretty, I think youre gonna be very popr if you became stars.


    How can it be that easy? Said Luosang smilingly.


    Do you want to be a star? Nian Junting abruptly raised his eyebrows and asked a question, while rubbing Xiaosis head.


    No, I just want to be a voice actor, Luosang shook her head and said.


    Thats such a pity for you to only be a voice actor. Because youre so beautiful, said Li Kang smilingly.


    Im ttered, Luosang responded, also with a smile.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes. Why can she talk with Lu Kang so happily? He thought.


    Suddenly, he had an urge to throw Lu Kang out of the car.


    How could an assistant be so talkative in front of his boss?

 Chapter 91. She Felt A Little Uncomfortable, so She Could Only Move Slightly Toward Nian Junting

    Chapter 91. She Felt A Little Ufortable, so She Could Only Move Slightly Toward Nian Junting


    Ah, in fact, ourpany often holdsrge-scale activities that need hosts. Ms. Luo, since youre majoring in broadcasting, I suppose you have some experience regarding hosting. Can I add you on WeChat? We may have several opportunities to work together, Lu Kang continued, as he didnt see the unhappy look in his bosss face.


    Yes, of course. Luosangs eyes glowed. She needed to earn more money. And she believed that even Yi Jingxi wasnt powerful enough to stop Sheng Ting from hiring her.


    Lu Kang handed his phone to Luosang from the drivers seat, then Luosang typed in her WeChat number.


    Watching this, Nian Junting somehow felt very unsatisfied. So, he said in a weird tone, Lu Kang, dont you think that youre acting too unprofessional as my assistant? You only know that shes majoring in broadcasting, but do you know a thing about her professional skills?


    Lu Kang felt embarrassed.


    Im doing it for you. Everyone knows that youve been unhappy since Luosang left. Im trying to create more chances for you two to meet each other in the future.


    And earlier you generously helped Luosang, but now youre saying such mean words. Mr. Nian, your EQ is seriously a disaster. Youre not gonna get a girlfriend if you stay this way. Heined silently.


    Mr. Nian, I believe my professional skills arent worse than that of anyone else, Luosang wasnt angry, but looked straight at Nian Junting confidently.


    I dont want to argue with you about that. Lu Kang is my assistant. Hell know after testing. Facing the serious look in Luosangs ck and shining eyes, Nian Junting proudly raised his chin, then turned his face away.


    Lu Kang felt speechless. A minute ago, his boss criticized him for being unprofessional about hiring people; but now, he believed in him when testing Luosang. ( Boxno vel. co m )


    Mr. Nian, youre really good at ending all sorts of conversations. Youre about to waste up all the favorable impressions that youve left her earlier when saving her.


    Luosang handed the phone to Lu Kang and said, Mr. Lu, your phone. Ive added you.


    Good. Lu Kang took the phone while driving, then conveniently handed it to Yan Su who was sitting beside him, Prettydy, could you add me as well? I dont know your name yet.


    Luosang raised her eyebrows. Maybe it was because she was a sensitive girl, but she sensed something not quite right.


    My name is Yan Su, Yan as Y-A-N, Su as S-U. Yan Su hesitated slightly, then typed in her WeChat number.


    Thats really a lovely name. Especially the part Su. It means pure and clean; the name fits the person, said Lu Kang smilingly.


    Yan Su smiled shyly.


    Nian Junting watched his assistant get the WeChat numbers of twodies within such a short time, and talk cheerfully and humorously with them. He never found that ability of Lu Kang before. And now, he felt that thetter had nearly made him invisible.


    He nced at Luosang who sat beside him. When he found that she was leaning her head toward the front seat, as if she wanted so badly to join Lu Kang and Yan Su, he somehow felt unhappy. So, he pulled the dog leash hard. Being dragged by the leash on his neck, the huge Xiaosi began twisting his body, and Luosang, who sat beside the dog, instantly felt squished.


    Xiaosi, whats wrong? She gently rubbed Xiaosis neck.


    Xiaosi howled, then tried to hide in her arms.


    Seeing that, Nian Junting pulled the leash even harder. It was dark in the car, so Luosang didnt see him doing it.


    Xiaosi felt ufortable, and tried very hard to move toward the other side of the car.


    The back seat was roomy, but Xiaosi was gigantic. When Xiaosi crawled onto Luosangsps, she felt a little ufortable, so she had no choice but to move slightly toward Nian Junting.


    After Xiaosi upied a part of Luosangs seat, he began crawling on herps uneasily. The dogs neck brushed against her face over and over again.


    Xiaosi, stop moving, Luosang was trying to dodge the whole time.


    Her soft voice only made Xiaosi naughtier and move more quickly.

 Chapter 92. She Left When His Body was Aroused

    Chapter 92. She Left When His Body was Aroused


    Before Luosang could have noticed, her body was pressed together with Nian Juntings. Her exposed knees and lower legs were right next to his long legs, her arm was brushing against his arm, and her face was almost putting on his shoulder.


    She felt awkward, and her body was tightened.


    She thought that Nian Junting was probably getting angry, so she sneakily raised her head, saw that he was looking out of the car window. But at that moment, he suddenly turned his head back to meet her gaze.


    It was dark in the car. The light of the streetmp poured in through the car windows, made his dark eyes sparkling dimly, like the night sky which was decorated with stars. His perfectly shaped face was slightly blurred by the darkness, looking even more attractive.


    Luosang felt that Nian Junting should quit talking. When he stayed in silent, his appearance and the look in his eyes could both be counted as perfect. Just like now.


    Looking at him like that, Luosang felt that her heart even missed a beat.


    Nian Junting was staring back at her. In the narrow backseat which was filled by the scent of her unknown shampoo and the natural aroma of her body, he found that her eyes were even brighter and more tempting in the hazy darkness of night. After pausing slightly in the eye-contact, he dropped his eyes to focus on her moisturized and full lips, which was only about a feet away from his face.


    A long time ago, he had noticed that she had beautiful lips which looked like jelly.


    He wondered if those lips taste like jelly too.


    Right now, they were in the perfect positions for kissing.


    Suddenly, he sensed a dryness from his chest. He felt that he might have drunk too much wine. Otherwise, why did he feel so hot and thirst now?


    That dry and hot feeling made him want very badly to taste her lips. He believed what inside her mouth would taste even better.


    He clenched the dog leash in his hand, and gritted his teeth. Shes better and better at luring people. Shes not majoring in broadcasting, shes majoring in how to seduce men, he thought.


    But how could he make that kiss now? Lu Kang and Yan Su were still sitting in the front.


    And, if he did it, he might make himself look ppable. How could he fall into her trap so soon?


    It had only been a while since he met her in the club.


    While he was fighting with himself, Luosang suddenly turned her face away to look at the front.


    Nian Junting felt utterly speechless.


    He believed that Luosang did it on purpose. She turned her face away when his body was aroused, and while doing that, her soft breast squeezed across his arm. He was only wearing a shirt, so he felt it both clearly and vaguely, and that was very tantalizing.


    His face darkened. He had no other choice but to yell at Xiaosi, Xiaosi, stop moving! If you move again, Ill throw you out of the car.


    Xiaosi blinked, then moaned and rested his head on Luosangsps. His ear was pressing against Luosangs chest. Soon, the poor dog sensed a cold vibe from his owner.


    Eight oclock at night was the time when the nightlife of Xia City began, so the traffic was quite busy. When they nearly arrived at the college, forty minutes had passed.


    When the car was still a distance away from the front entrance of the college, Luosang asked Lu Kang to pull over. Drop us here, Su and me are going to get some food, she said.


    I dont see any store here, Nian Junting nced out of the window and said coldly.


    Well just take a walk, Luosang tucked her hair behind her ear.


    Miss. Luo is worrying that people might talk when seeing a luxury car pulling over before the front door of a college, right? Lu Kang pointed out the truth.


    Luosang felt a little embarrassed, while Yan Su responded frankly, In our school, thepetition between students is intense. Luosang is known as the prettiest girl in the broadcasting department. If anyone saw her getting out of a luxury car, or took a picture of it and uploaded to the campuswork, people would talk in a bad way.

 Chapter 93. Youve Made My Jacket Dirty

    Chapter 93. You''ve Made My Jacket Dirty


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and snorted carelessly.


    Shes the prettiest? It seems that the quality of the girls in your broadcasting department isnt high at all, he said.


    Everyone else fell into a short silence. Lu Kang coughed slightly, while Luosang pretended to not have heard him.


    Sus lying. Our broadcasting department is full of beautiful girls. But Su is the prettiest girl with a music major, and thats for sure, said Luosang.


    Em, that makes more sense, said Nian Junting.


    Lu Kang wanted to cry. Boss, do you have to say bad things to Luosang to make yourselffortable?


    Yan Su opened the door and said, So Were leaving.


    Luosang took off the jacket and said, Goodbye, Mr. Nian. Here is your jacket.


    Wear it. Its cold in the outside, he said. As Luosang felt that he finally said something nice, he added, And youve made my jacket dirty. Are you going to clean it for me?


    Its not dirty, she said.


    It is, he said in a strong tone.


    Luosang was speechless. Alright, if you say so.


    Then Ill contact Mr. Lu and ask him to return it to you after Ive dry-cleaned it, she said.


    Nian Junting frowned. He didnt understand why she wanted to return the jacket through Lu Kang, as he was obviously offering her a chance to contact himself.


    Wash it with your hands. I dont like irrelevant people touching my clothes, he said.


    Luosang clenched her teeth. Why do you have to be so picky?


    Alright, she said.


    He gave her a sideways nce again and said, Just call me when youve cleaned it.


    Isnt it obvious enough for you? Im giving you a chance.


    Luosang gave a little start and said, But I dont have your number.


    Didnt I give it to you during thest New Year? He said angrily, You didnt delete it, did you?


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She felt that Nian Junting would beat her to death in the car if she told him that she had deleted it.


    I lost my phone, so I lost your number as well, she said.


    Couldnt you reissue your SIM card? he asked.


    I identally saved your number in my phone, so it lost with my phone, Luosang continued lying to him with a low voice.


    Youre dumb. Nian Junting gave her a dagger-sharp nce, then said, Well, in case you lose your phone again, let me add you on WeChat.


    While speaking, he took out his phone and handed it to Luosang. Type in your WeChat number.


    Lu Kang, who sat in the drivers seat, smiled. Boss, you just wanted her WeChat number. Why do you have to make the whole thing soplicated? he thought.


    Luosang nced at him, then carefully typed in her WeChat number. His WeChat name contained two simple wordsCEO Nian. It was typical of his style. As if he worried that the others might not know that hes a CEO.


    After Luosang gave his phone back, he proudly warned her, Keep your WeChat ount safe. If you lose it, I wont give you my number again.


    Will do, will do, thank you, Mr. Nian. Luosang wore a grateful face.


    Nian Junting gave a faint smile and said, Lu Kang, go get them an umbre from the trunk.


    Sure. Lu Kang got out of the car and took out an almond-colored umbre from the trunk for Luosang and Yan Su.


    Nian Junting rolled down the car window to show his face, then said, This umbre is expensive. Dont forget to give it back to me.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    How expensive is it? Luosang said through clenched teeth. We dont need an umbre. Dont lend it to me.


    Nian Junting raised an eyebrow, thinking she was angry.


    Do you want me to give it to you? he asked.


    He wasnt a stingy person, but he believed that one shouldnt give another one an umbre as a gift without consideration. He believed that if he gave her an umbre as a gift, he would need to keep her sheltered for the rest of her life.


    Luosang sighed, wondering if her words could really make him misunderstand so easily.


    No. You said that this umbre was expensive, so how could I take it? she said.

 Chapter 94. Im Getting Old, Its the Time for Me to Try Having A Girlfriend

    Chapter 94. I''m Getting Old, It''s the Time for Me to Try Having A Girlfriend


    Since you want it, Ill give it to you, he said.


    I didnt say that I want it, Luosang was nearly driven crazy.


    Nian Junting nced at her, as if saying Stop pretending. Take it. You can get yourself wet, but not my jacket, he said.


    ( Boxno vel. co m ) Luosang honestly didnt know how to respond.


    She doubted that Nian Junting could ever have a girlfriend.


    Earlier in the car, her heart thumped slightly. But now, she believed that it was because that something was wrong with her heart.


    Dont worry, Ill definitely take good care of your jacket. I wont let it get even a little bit wet, she said.


    Em, While watching the two girls gradually fading away in the darkness of night with the umbre, Nian Junting lost in thoughts.


    Lu Kang sat back in the car and started the car. Suddenly, he heard his bosss voiceing from the backseat.


    Do you like Luosang? Asked Nian Junting.


    No, the startled Lu Kang coughed loudly, then responded.


    So do you like the one named Yan Su?


    Lu Kang rubbed his own head, smiled and said shyly, Mr. Nian, you see, Im almost thirty, but I havent got any girlfriend yet. I had feelings to that girl at first sight.


    Luosang is pretty too now. Why didnt you have feelings for her? Nian Junting asked.


    Lu Kang failed to detect the hidden meaning of his bosss words, but replied coyly, Its probably because Ive known her for long. And I prefer first sight love. Besides, didnt you say that youre the one she likes?


    But of course, he definitely had no courage to say that it was Nian Juntings narcissistic imagination.


    Do you know that too? Nian Junting didnt notice that his lips curved slightly in a smile when he said that, Is that why you told her to wait for me in the club tonight?


    Mr. Nian, what are you talking about? Lu Kang was confused.


    Stop pretending. She was in the club tonight because you told her that Id be there, right? Said Nian Junting slowly, Dont do such things next time. Its really not safe for a girl to go to clubs wearing like that.


    He refused to believed that the encounter between him and Luosang in the washroom was really a coincidence.


    Lu Kang honestly felt speechless at that point.


    Mr. Nian, I didnt. I really didnt. I havent been in contact with Luosang for a very long time. I dont even know her number, he said.


    Nian Junting stared at him closely for a while, found that he didnt seem to be pretending. Then it must be Sister Lan. Such a liar. She told me that she isnt in contact with Luosang.


    Lu Kang sighed and gave a bitter smile. Mr. Nian, why do you believe that Luosang was in the club tonight because of you? He really wanted to ask him this.


    Poor Sister Lan who bore the me without even knowing what happened.


    Now you have added Luosang on WeChat. She might be too shy to talk to me directly, so if she ever asked you anything about me, you can tell her something, said Nian Junting in aplicated way. Ive been thinking on our way here. She even took stic surgeries for me. Clearly, shes been doing a lot for me. And among all the women I knew in these years, shes the one who loves me the deepest. Earlier, I thought that shes older than me, but today I found out that shes actually just twenty-two. I think we can try to know a little about each other. After all, Im getting old, and its the time for me to try having a girlfriend.


    And more importantly, the private part of his body only felt boiling hot when she was around.


    stic surgeries? After spending quite a while to process what Nian Junting said, Lu Kang managed to squeeze two words out of his mouth.


    Em.


    Lu Kang coughed slightly, said, Mr. Nian, may I ask a question? Why do you feel that she has had stic surgeries?


    Nian Junting paused briefly then responded, You remember the way she used to look like, dont you? You see, shes nothing like before now. Can a person ever change so much without taking stic surgeries?

 Chapter 95. Have I Been Misunderstanding Everything?

    Chapter 95. Have I Been Misunderstanding Everything?


    She did change a lot. But more or less, a face would look unnatural and stiff after stic surgery. However, Ms. Luos face looks very natural, Ku Kang said. In fact, Ms. Luo has always had a straight nose and beautiful lips, and her face seemed to be nicely shaped as well. But she used to dress in an old-fashioned way, and wear arge pair of sses to cover her eyes. And her hair used to look messy and unbrushed. I think thats why she didnt look pretty at that time. Women can make themselves pretty with some effort. People say that there are onlyzy women, not ugly women.


    Do you mean that Luosang didnt have stic surgery, that she was born so pretty? Nian Junting asked frowningly, But why did she do that?


    He had a thought in his head, but he wasnt willing to admit it.


    Have I been misunderstanding her this whole time? That doesnt make sense.


    He was so perfect. In hispany, he defeated Xiao Si and topped the ranking list of handsome men. He was even known as the youngest genius businessman by people from the business world. How could she possibly not like him? Not to mention that she had admitted that.


    Soon, he denied that possibility. Thats totally impossible, he thought.


    Lu Kang wanted very much to tell Nian Junting that Luosang might have just worried about workce harassment, and perhaps, she never wanted to be together with him. However, he didnt want to hurt his bosss feelings. So atst, he avoided answering the question, but responded with, I dont know; maybe she has her own reasons.


    Nan Junting pressed his thin lips together. He believed that Luosang had secret ns.


    stic surgeries were, of course, possible as well, as cosmetic medicines were highly developed now, and Lu Kangs eyes could be fooled. Many current female stars had stic surgeries, but they got doctors certificates to prove that they didnt.


    That Mr. Lin. a whileter, Nian Junting said with a deep voice, Tell the people from relevant departments to find some solid evidence against him and keep him in prison for the next ten years. Hes so ugly. He shouldnt be out here scaring people. That narrow-minded man would definitely bring trouble to Luosang if they let him out of prison.


    Alright. Ku Kang silently looked at his own face from the rearview mirror. Fortunately, he wasnt ugly.


    Make the Gu Feng club close down. That ce is owned by people like Mr. Lin, so its not clean. Dont let any other women be harmed in that ce, he continued.


    Will do. Lu Kang nced at the rich and powerful man sitting in the back seat, knowing that because of what this man had said just now, the Gu Feng Club, which was only avable for high society people, was doomed tonight.


    Mr. Lin offended him, and those were the consequences. No one from the political circle or the business circle could afford to offend him. He was like a prince.


    Under the neonmps, all sorts of food stands were opening by the sides of the streets in the college town.


    Luosang, who hadnt had dinner yet, bought a box of fried rice cake to share with Yan Su. The fried rice cake smelled so good that it made her feel starving.


    While eating, Yan Su stared at the umbre handle and said, This umbre is from Swaine Adeney Brig. ording to the mark on it, its customized. Judging by its fabric, I think its worth at least seven-thousand yuan.


    Luosang wasnt surprised at all. After all, she had had a box of choctes given by him worth nearly a hundred thousand yuan. And the jacket she was wearing at the moment was worth tens of thousands as well.


    Ill give it back to him, she said.


    Yan Su nced at her, then abruptly asked, I heard your conversation in the car. Did you work for him as a carer? He doesnt look like an ordinary rich person. His car is worth four million at least. He showed a dry sense of humor when talking, something women normally dont like, but I think he is a nice person inside.


    Hearing the words women usually dont like, Luosang nearly choked on a piece of fried rice cake.

 Chapter 96. I Think Mr. Nian is Kinda into You

    Chapter 96. I Think Mr. Nian is Kinda into You


    But then, Luosang felt that Yan Susment about Nian Junting was quite pertinent and funny, so she responded with, Youre actually quite right.


    She wanted to know how grumpy Nian Junting would be if he heard what Su said.


    Mr. Nian isnt a bad person, she smiled and continued. That was the onlyment she could make about him. Hes handsome indeed, but I dont think normal women will like men like him.


    After all, he always liked to say mean words. For that reason, he often made her feel like being showered by a bucket of icy-cold water right after letting her sense a slight little bit of warmth.


    What kind of strong-hearted people could live with that?


    But I feel that Mr. Nian is kinda into you, Yansu poked Luosangs arm with her elbow and said with a faint smile.


    Luosang felt lucky that she hadnt put another piece of fried rice cake into her mouth, or shed choked again. Dont be ridiculous, you dont understand, she said.


    She believed that he was simply narcissistic enough to think that she loved him very deeply.


    And I think that Mr. Lu likes you. Did you see how talkative he was in front of you? I know him. Hes never been a talker. He found an excuse to add me on WeChat, but I think youre the one he really wanted to add. He was afraid that you might say no, she then said to Yan Su.


    I have a boyfriend, Yan Su shook her head and said.


    Luosang paused for a while with surprise, then said, Why did you never tell anyone?


    Hes not here. Were maintaining a long-distance rtionship, and we dont see each other often. Thats why you didnt know. And, theres no much to tell about him, Yan Su curved her lips in a smile and said.


    Seeing the unconceble sweetness showing in Yan Sus face, Luosang ended this conversation without asking any other questions. She used to fall in love too, so she knew that Yan Su and her boyfriend must love each other.


    Yan Su didnt ask any more questions either, as she too knew that she should respect others.


    When they returned to the dorm, Tang Ning who was doing a facial mask asked with surprise when seeing that Luosang and Yan Su were together, Luo, Chuen said that youd be in Gu Feng Club tonight. Whyre you with Su? And why did youe back so early?


    I left the club after dinner, met Su on the way back, Luosang didnt want to tell her about what happened today.


    I heard that Gu Feng Club is quite fancy. How did you get a chance to go there? Tang Ning walked to Luosang and continued, Arent you doing any dubbing work recently?


    I didnt pass the interview with Director Hongst time, and I havent found any other dubbing job. So I got myself a temporary assistant job. Tonight, my boss went to Gu Feng Club, so I went with her, to carry her bag and do other things like that, while speaking, Luosang lowered her head and put Nian Juntings jacket on the bed.


    Is that a mans jacket? Tang Ning noticed the jacket long ago, It looks expensive. Wow, Lou, you didnt meet a handsome rich man in the club, did you? He even lent you his jacket!


    Dont mention it. Ive experienced something quite unpleasant in the club. Fortunately, I met a kind person who helped me and lent me a jacket. Im a little tired, so Im gonna take a shower now, Luosang was really tired. After letting out a long sigh of relief, she went straight to the bathroom.


    Tang Ning turned to Yan Su with confusion.


    Stop gossiping. Weve worked a whole day, so were both tired, Yan Su patted her on the shoulder.


    Luo, no matter how tired you are, you must go to the premiere of Chi Shengxus new movie the day after tomorrow, Tang Ning said loudly toward the bathroom to remind Luosang, Chuen said that she wont go with us, because herpany was invited too, shes going with her boss.


    Luosang paused, then responded with, Since Chuen isnt going with us, I dont think we should go.


    No, I want to go, said Tang Ning pitifully, And, are you crazy? Chi Shengxu invited you right in front of so many people. Itd be disrespectful if you dont go. Besides, hes so handsome, but youre not attracted by him at all. Luo, youre not a lesbian, are you?

 Chapter 97. Shed Like to See if Zhong Yi Still Has the Mood to Act Today

    Chapter 97. She''d Like to See if Zhong Yi Still Has the Mood to Act Today


    Luosang tilted her head and pretended to think for a moment, then said, You guessed right. In fact, I fell for you the first time I saw you.


    Tang Ning shivered, thenughed and yelled, Piss off! You made me so sick that I couldnt even eat my midnight snacks!


    As it was the second semester of the third year of her college study, Luosang didnt have many sses to attend. So the next morning, she took the bus to where Zhong Yi lived. The ce was called Jinding International.


    Jian Fei was surprised when she opened the door and saw Luosang. How did you


    Luosang gave a sarcastic smile and asked, What?


    Jian Fei wanted to ask why Luosang showed up so early. She thought that Luosang must have nearly been tortured to death in a bed by Mr. Linst night, so she didnt understand how could thetter show up so early, looking perfectly unharmed.


    However, Jian Fei soon calmed down and said, Nothing. Since youre here, you should start working right now. Hurry up and help pack Zhong Yis stuff. Shes going to the filming site today. Youre going with her.


    Is she going to work on a movie? Luosang sneered silently.


    Shed like to know if Zhong Yi was still in a good mood for acting today.


    Last night, Luosang didnt sleep much. Instead, she spent the night online. She found a few bloggers who liked to say bad things about Zhong Yi, so she sent them anonymous messages telling them that Mr. Lin, the shareholder of Gu Feng Club, was arrested tonight, and before that, he had dinner with Zhong Yi.


    These bloggers all owned chat groups and were all fans of Zhong Yispetitors. Therefore, they would certainly try spreading the news as widely as they could.


    As the saying goes, the greater the fame, the more trouble that wille. Zhong Yi became famous very quickly, that had caused the discontent of some other female stars and their fans. Because of Yi Jingxi, the other female stars didnt dare offend Zhong Yi. However, their fans were all over the country and were young and fearless. Perhaps Yi Jingxi could silence the voice of these fans through inte and medias, but Luosang believed that he couldnt manage to do so within a short time, and that the news she had spread would definitely cause Zhong Yi some trouble.


    She, Xu Luosang, was just an ordinary person, and her words carried little weight. But she still couldnt let herself be hurt by anyone limitlessly.


    Whos here?


    Footsteps were heard from upstairs. Zhong Yi walked down with a pink purse. Seeing Luosang, she paused for a short moment, then smiled immediately and said, Luosang, youre early. I thought youd be a littlete, as you were drunkst night.


    Yeah, I was drunkst night. When I woke up, you all left. Luosang didnt n to tell Zhong Yi that she knew about her evil n. Saying it out loud would be meaningless, as she couldnt do anything to Zhong Yi. The worst she could do at the moment was merely curse her.


    Zhong Yi observed Luosang while walking toward her. Soon, she started to have some doubts, as she detected no despair or anger from Luosangs face, as if thetter hadnt suffered anything at all. Im sorry. I had something to dost night, so I left early. I was going to take you with me, but you refused to go. So I sent Jian Fei to pick you up afterwards.


    Luosang was speechless. Zhong Yi was such a natural liar. Did Jian Feie to pick me up? Then you should both know that what has happened to Mr. Lin, right?


    Zhong Yi paused with surprise, thinking that Luosang might have hurt Mr. Linst night. Mr. Lin is a powerful man. What could have possibly happened to him?


    He got arrested. Luosang sighed and said, Last night, soon after you left, arge group of policemen showed up and did a surprise check. Its said that they arrested quite a lot people who were doing improper tradings right on the spot. I heard that one of them is a female web star, who has been famoustely. Mr. Lin was arrested right in the club, and Gu Feng is closed down. You go to Gu Feng quite often; how could you not know about such big news?


    Zhong Yis expression changed instantly. She quickly made an eye-contact with Jian Fei, then yelled at Luosang, I didnt go to that ce often. Ive even only been in Xia City a few times.

 Chapter 98. If Youre Not Useful to Me, Id have Destroyed You

    Chapter 98. If You''re Not Useful to Me, I''d have Destroyed You


    I see. Last night at the dinner, I thought you and Mr. Lin are good friends, Luosang shrugged and said.


    Alright, since you like pretending, Ill pretend with you, she thought.


    Luosang, go take these few bags downstairs and put them in the car, Jian Fei pointed at the bags with her chin while giving an order.


    Sure, Luosang lifted the bags, then turned and left. Right after that, Jian Fei shut the door and asked Zhong Yi, Why is Mr. Lin arrested? Didnt you say that nothing would go wrong? Did Xu Luosang do that?


    Gu Feng has earned its fame because of its solid background. Which ordinary person would dare toy a finger on it? Even the police wouldnt arrest anyone from that club without consideration. Could the powerless Xu Luosang possibly manage to do that? Said Zhong Yi with a serious face, Maybe the club owners have offended someone. Xu Luosang was really luckyst night. I cant believe Ive failed to destroy herst night.


    Mr. Lin is arrested in an anti-vice action, so if anyone knows that you had dinner with him in the clubst night Jian Fei nced at Zhong Yi with hesitation, then continued, If the public knows, things will be a little troublesome. People may think that you were making some kind of improper trade with Xu Group and Mr. Lin.


    The look in Zhong Yis face changed as she said, Xu Luosang knows.


    Jian Fei closed her eyes and said, Dont overthink the issue. Even if there would really be a problem, Mr. Yi will solve it for you.


    Before her voice faded, Zhong Yis cell phone began ringing. Yi Jingxis name was showing in the screen.


    Hopefully hes not calling for that Zhong Yi took a deep breath, then answered the phone and immediately heard Yi Jingxis icy-cold voice, Ive only left for one day. What stupid thing did you dost night?


    Zhong Yi clenched her teeth and said, Mr. Yi, whats happening?


    Youre asking me? Yi Jingxi sounded quite angry, Go check in the forums and Weibo yourself. Everyone is saying that you were in Gu Feng clubst night before it was closed down. Some people even imed to have seen you having dinner with Mr. Lin. Do you know what hes arrested for? Multiple underage girls testified that he had forced them to make improper trades. And, a few girls from the club said that he had drugged them and forced them to sleep with some high-positioned people. The police closed the club downst night, and therere pictures from the scene.


    Zhong Yi gave a start and asked, Is there a picture of me?


    Mr. Yi, I had dinner with Mr. Linst night because of the project that hes going to work together with Xu Pictures. I was trying to help you she added with a trembling voice.


    When is your turn to help me? Besides, Ive never even thought about working with someone like him, said Yi Jingxi wrathfully, You just cant do anything right. Now, people are all talking online about how Xu Pictures make their actresses do improper trades with Mr. Lin. Theyve found the film invested by Mr. Linst year. Thats one of our films. This whole thing has caused a negative influence on thepany. If youre not still useful, Id have destroyed you already.


    So-sorry, Zhong almost cried, Ill never do anything like that again without your permission. Mr. Yi, please help me.


    Watch your behaviors. Gu Feng Club has a strong background, but it was torn down. The club owners must have offended someone really powerful, Yi Jingxi remained silent for a short while, then said to Zhong Yi with a low voice, Fortunately, there isnt a picture of you in the club this time. And the people whore talking online dont have any backgrounds. Theyre just some fans.


    Zhong Yi sighed with relief. She understood that Yi Jingxi was willing to solve the problem for her. Thank you, she said.

 Chapter 99. Because of Luosang, He Had A Sleepless Night

    Chapter 99. Because of Luosang, He Had A Sleepless Night


    Did you go out with Luosangst night? Yi Jingxi asked another question, but in a much softer tone.


    Her? Zhong Yi sensed jealousy from the bottom of her heart. Yeah, but we left after dinner, she said.


    Huh. Ill be back tomorrow, Yi Jingxi responded, then hung up the phone.


    Zhong Yi looked at her cell phone, eyes slightly red. Soonter, she sneered at Jian Fei and said, See, I was right to keep Luosang around, wasnt I? Luosang has disappeared for two years. During that time, I could only see him when I went to thepany. But now, he just cant wait toe back, even though hes only left for one day. I heard that he had many things to do back in An City at this time. I thought hed need three or four days to finish all of his work  even longer. But I was wrong. I guess because of Luosang, he couldnt even sleepst night.


    Zhong Yi Jian Fei sighed.


    Dont worry; Im not jealous of her. I just need more opportunities to spend time with him, so I can make it more possible for him to fall in love with me. As for Luosang, Ill send her to hell sooner orter. Zhong Yis beautiful face twisted into a vicious look.


    Luosang waited in the parking lot for twenty minutes before Zhong Yi showed up proudly, wearing a pair of sunsses.


    She frowned. Why are you wearing sunsses in the dark parking lot? Can you even see? Arent you afraid that you might fall to the ground?


    Zhong Yi walked up to her, stared at her and said, Its you who spread the news about me that I was in the clubst night, right?


    Luosang gave a bright smile and responded, No, I didnt do it. She wasnt surprised that Zhong Yi found out so soon.


    You can deny, but I know its you, said Zhong Yi coldly, Xu Luosang, mind your behavior. I can still decide if Supervisor Yuans online series can be aired or not. You better behave yourself from now on. If your friends and ssmates learned that youre Xu Zhengxuans daughter, they wouldnt even talk to you anymore.


    Luosangs face darkened slowly.


    Zhong Yi continued, Dont think that you can defeat me with these small tricks. Your ex-boyfriend is so capable that hell probably have the problem solved before we walk out of this parking lot.


    Luosang remained silent. She felt her heart twist, especially when she heard that Yi Jingxi was helping Zhong Yi again. She really wanted to throw a few heavy ps at Yi Jingxis face, then break his skull to check his brain. She could ept the fact that he didnt like her, but could never understand why he fell for Zhong Yi. How could his taste be so awful?


    Luosang took a deep breath, then smiled and responded with, Do you expect me to be jealous of you? Sorry, I just wanted to thank you for bringing Yi Jingxi away from me. Hes a piece of junk to me.


    You only say that because you can never have him, Zhong Yi said sarcastically, then turned to get in the car. Get in. Dont make mete for the film, she continued.


    Luosang expressionlessly bent over and got into the nanny van.


    At the filming site, Luosang found that Zhong Yi didnt have much work to do. Most of the time, she just sat in a chair and asking Luosang to get her water, fan her, or hold her umbre. The weather in Xia City had been changing sharply these days. The difference between the air temperatures of sunny days and rainy days was over ten degrees. Yesterday was cold with rain, but today was a scorching hot, sunny day. The filming site was near the beach, so after spending a day there, Luosangs exposed skin had already tanned.


    After a day and a night spent at the filming site, the exhausted Luosang returned to her dorm. Tang Ning paused in shock when seeing her and asked, Did you go get a coal-mining job these days?


    Luosang gave a bitter smile.


    She would rather to mine coal than work for the lunatic, Zhong Yi.


    Luo, I know that you were born pretty, but you cant be careless about your appearance, said Tang Ning while doing her makeup. To art students like us, appearance is as important as talent.


    Luosang lied on her bed, thinking that Zhong Yi must be nning to make her look tan.

 Chapter 100. Tingting, Stop Bothering Me

    Chapter 100. Tingting, Stop Bothering Me


    Get up and get dressed, were going to Chi Shengxus premiere. You look awful now, Tang Ning tried to drag Luosang off the bed.


    Its Chi Shengxus premiere, not mine, Luosang was so exhausted that she didnt even want to move a finger.


    Su, talk to her, Tang Ning waved at Yan Su.


    Urging by her two roommates, Luosang finally changed into a long velvet dress and a white embroidery hoody. The hoody was off-the-shoulder, made her look a little sexy.


    The three of them took the subway to the Century Mall. On their way, when they were squeezed in one chair to rest, Luosang nced at Yan Su and found that thetter was looking at her WeChat on her phone.


    Did Mr. Lu message you? asked Luosang.


    Yeah, he wants to know what Im doing, said Yan Su helplessly, I told him that Im on my way to the premiere.


    Didnt you reject him? Said Luosang.


    He didnt even tell me that he likes me, what should I reject him for? I just found a way to let him know that I have a boyfriend. I thought hed shrink back, but he started to ask me some questions about music. He said that he likes music, and he wants to be friends with me so we can talk about music. Forget it, I wont reply to him. I dont want an ambiguous rtionship with him.


    He wants to steal you from your boyfriend, Luosangughed and said.


    Sheng Ting Investment, five oclock in the afternoon, at sunset.


    Nian Junting finished thest part of his job, then stretched his body. Lately, thepany didnt have anyrge projects for him to work on, and the small cases were all handled by his employees. Therefore, he suddenly felt a little boring.


    However, the weather had been nice recently, so he really didnt want to go back home alone to face Sister Lans chubby face and Steward Wus wrinkled face.


    He thought for a moment, then called Xiao Si.


    You havent left work, have you? Do you want to go for a drink? He asked.


    Sorry, Ive left work long ago. I have a date with a prettydy today. Were going for dinner and karaoketer, Xiao Si chuckled and responded with, Tingting, you need to stop bothering me. Im an adult man, and Im not as desireless as you. I need some nourishment for my life.


    Whos been bothering you? Said Jian Junting with a grumpy look, Its just that I feel morefortable to go out with you than with Zhou Yanfeng and the others. It seems that those people are getting along well with me but in fact, they just want to fawn on me, and that made me ufortable.


    Thats true, but understandable. Youre rich and famous, so everyone wants to get something from you. But sticking with me isnt a solution for you. People might think that were a gay couple. If youre really bored, why dont you call Nian Xi? You really dont care about your little sister enough. If I have an adorable sister like her, Id treat her like a princess.


    Piss off, Id never want to be a gay couple with you, Nian Junting directly hung up the phone.


    He dropped his eyes and spent a short while thinking, then dialed Nian Xis number.


    Are you off duty? Do you wanna have dinner together?


    Brother, Im working overtime, doing official business. Now is the crucial time for my potential promotion, dont get in my way, said Nian Xi seriously.


    Nian Junting didnt even know how to respond. Didnt his sister know that fawning on him was a better way to promotion?


    Brother, I know you have lots of free time, but not everyone is like you. You should hurry up and get me a sister-inw. Youre not young anymore


    Again, Nian Junting hung up the phone. He paced in the office for a while with anger, then gripped his coat and walked out inrge steps. When walking pass Lu Kangs table, he saw that thetter was staring at his phone, seeming to lose in thoughts.


    Are you chasing that girl named Yan Su? Nian Junting paused and asked. Seeing the disappointed look in Lu Kangs face, he continued, Failed?


    Startling by his voice, Lu Kang hurriedly stood up and responded with, I was going to ask her to have dinner with me tonight, but she said that shes going for Dark Screens premiere with her roommates.

 Chapter 101. It Has Been Days; Why Hasnt She Given Me My Jacket Back?

    Chapter 101. It Has Been Days; Why Hasn''t She Given Me My Jacket Back?


    When he heard the word roommates, Nian Juntings heart leaped. He raised his eyebrows and asked, Dark Screen?


    Yeah, I heard that movie is abination of both award-winning actors and actresses who are very hot, sighed Lu Kang.


    Do you want to watch it? asked Nian Junting.


    I


    Then lets go watch it together tonight. Nian Junting patted his shoulder and said, Youve been working so hard for me these years that you didnt even get time to fall in love. As your boss, I feel sorry for that. So this time, Im gonna help you.


    Lu Kang was a little confused. So, you want to help me, but you also have to go together with me?


    Actually, Yan Su has told me that she has a boyfriend. Am I trying to steal someones girlfriend? asked Lu Kang.


    Theyre not married yet. Youre not stealing someones girlfriend, youre pursuing true love. Is it ever easy for anyone to meet a true love in their life? Not to mention the fact that as my assistant, no ordinary man could be better than you. I believe that it wont be difficult for you to steal that girl, Nian Juning corrected him seriously.


    ( B oxnovel.c om ) Hearing his words, Lu Kang shivered. It really hadnt gone to the true-love-level yet. He didnt known much about Yan Su; he just liked her.


    But the premiere is beginning soon. I think the tickets have sold out long ago, said Lu Kang.


    Dont you worry. I can buy the cinema carrying the premiere, responded Nian Junting. After saying that, he turned back to make a call.


    Finished with the call, he turned around and said to Lu Kang, Lets go. Prepare yourself. Well leave work early today. Im gonna ask Luosang why hasnt she returned my jacket yet. Its been days


    Lu Kang suddenly figured out that the whole thing about helping him pursue true love was a lie, and the fact was that his boss wanted to get close to Luosang by using him.


    At six oclock in the evening, Luosang and her teammates arrived at the Central Mall. The mall was crowded with fans. Yan Su insisted on getting some food first, as it was dinner time and she needed to fill her stomach, or shed starve.


    After dinner, Luosangs phone started ringing. It was a strange number.


    Hello, my name is Huo Fei, and Im Chi Shengxus personal assistant. There are lots of people here today. He sent me to pick you up, so you dont have to wait in a line.


    Thank you, responded Luosang.


    After Luosang hung up the phone, Tang Ning said excitedly, Chi Shengxu didnt only give us tickets; he also sent his PA to pick us up. So thoughtful! Luosang, I think he fancies you.


    ( B oxnovel.c om ) Stop saying that, especially when were with Chuen, said Luosang hurriedly. How could he possibly fancy me? Besides, Ive heard that he has an extraordinary family background. Even if he does like me, his family wouldnt agree on it. Only girls like Chuen deserve boys like him. Luosang then guided her teammates to the meeting ce that Huo Fei told her.


    After the meeting, Huo Fei directly took the three of them backstage. Today, Chi Shengxu looked even more handsome than before. He was wearing a blue coat and a pink, round-neck shirt and an expensive watch. His skin was sparkling under themplight, making him look as attractive as the male models on a magazine cover.


    Seeing Luosang, Chi Shengxu walked over quickly, showing a pair of dimples on his white and clean face. Luosang, youre here, he said. He looked over Luosang from head to toe, then said to her, You look prettier today than in ss.


    Is Luosang the only pretty girl you see? Dont you see that weve all dressed up? Tang Ning narrowed her eyes.


    You are all gorgeous. Our school is full of beautifuldies. Chi Shengxu smiled and responded, Your seats are in the third row. The first and the second row are upied by the sponsors and investors, so please dontin.

 Chapter 102. Why Are Nian Junting and Lu Kang here?

    Chapter 102. Why Are Nian Junting and Lu Kang here?


    The third row is already perfect. If it wasnt for you, we might not even be able to get in here, said Luosang. Once she finished talking, Huo Fei reminded Chi Shengxu, Shengxu, Mr. Shen from Star Music and Culture is here, Director Zhang wants you to go say hi to him.


    Luosang turned to where Huo Fei was looking at, saw two men and a woman walking over. The gorgeously dresseddy was none other than Ye Chuen, who didnt join her roommates today.


    I think thats the boss of her musicpany. Chuen has a solid background indeed, that shes actually standing by Mr. Shens side, sighed Tang Ning.


    Huo Fei, take these girls to their seats. Ill go say hi to those people, Chi Shengxu frowned slightly, then said to Luosang, Luosang, dont leave after the premiere. You and your friends can stay for the party. Some professionals are here today, Ill introduce them to you.


    After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, without waiting for Luosang to respond.


    Is he really introducing us to the professionals? Said Tang Ning excitedly, Hes so nice. If some director noticed us, we wouldnt need to try so hard.


    Luosang was a little touched as well. She had only taken a few sses together with Chi Shengxu, but he was actually willing to share recourses with her. Such generous people were rarely seen these days.


    Soon, the there of them sat down in the third row. Their seats were close to the side, but the view was nice.


    About ten minutes before the release, Ye Chuen walked elegantly to the third row with her little purse. I was going to say hi to you in the backstage, but my boss made me focus on the sponsors, she said to her roommates.


    Its alright, Luosang smiled and responded.


    Chuen, youre amazing. Theyve introduced you to so many people, said Tang Ning.


    Thats because Mr. Shen is generous, Ye Chuen smiled and said, I must stay for the partyter, or Id be able to drive you back to the dorm. This ce is quite far away from the school, so its might be a little inconvenient for you to go back.


    Luosang and Yan Su nced at each other. Tang Ning hesitated shortly, then said, Chi Shengxu invited us to the party as well.


    Ye Chuen paused slightly, and her smile froze for a moment on her pretty face. He did? Then we should leave together after the party. My seat is in the middle of the first row, see you.


    As she turned, two tall figures walked over from the VIP ess. The man at the front was wearing a dark-green suit and a ck shirt, looking straight and sturdy, radiating a cold and manly vibe.


    Ye Chuen blinked, as she thought that she was confusing this man with someone else.


    As she suddenly paused, Luosang and the other two all turned to where she has been looking at. And then, Luosang gave a start, wondering why would Nian Junting and Lu Kang be here.


    So handsome, Tang Ning paused, then murmured, Who are they?


    Ye Chuen nced at her, then abruptly gave a smile and walked to Nian Junting.


    Junting she said.


    Nian Junting was looking around from the corners of his eyes. As Ye Chuen walked to him along with a strong fragrance, he knitted his brows and asked, You are


    Junting, Im Chuen, the smile on Ye Chuens face faded slightly as she responded with embarrassment, We havent seen each other in years, so its normal that you didnt recognize me.


    Ah, you, Nian Junting nodded and said, I have good memory, so normally I wont forget anyone Ive met. Your makeup is too thick, thats why I didnt recognize you.


    Lu Kangs mouth corner twitched as his boss was saying mean words again.


    Ye Chuen was barely maintaining the smile on her face.


    Wheres aunty? Why isnt she here? I need to thank her for talking to Mr. Shen for me. Thanks to her, Im releasing my first album now.


    Are you gonna be a singer? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, has the standard of singers lowered so much already?


    He remembered that both Luosang and Yan Su had much better voices than Ye Chuen did.


    Ye Chuen honestly didnt know how to continue this conversation.

 Chapter 103. She Looks Nice Today

    Chapter 103. She Looks Nice Today


    Ye Chuen regretted greeting Nian Junting. Fortunately, her teammates didnte over, or shed feel humiliated.


    Junting, how could you say that? Ive studied in Xi Mei for years, and Ive been trained by professionals. Im making real progress, said Ye Chuen with a soft voice.


    Nian Junting was surprised to know that Ye Chuen was also a student of Xie Mei.


    Out of the corners of his eyes, he saw Luosang and her two roommates sitting in the side seats.


    He found that Luosang looked good today, and her exposed shoulder was beautiful and sexy.


    Junting, wheres your seat? Mine is in the middle of the first row


    Mine is in the third row, Nian Junting pointed his chin at the area that Luosang was sitting, and responded with, Alright, I just want to watch the movie quietly. Go back to your seat.


    He then walked straight to Luosang. While walking, he said to Lu Kang with a low voice, Go tell the organizers that well take all the rest of the seats in the third row.


    ( ReadReadReadNovelFull.c om ) Hearing that, Lu Kang felt his lower legs begin twitching. Mr. Nian, all of the seats have been booked long ago. Youre getting me in trouble by even saying that.


    How could you possibly take the rest of the seats? Those seats were already taken. Youre making an unreasonable demand. Lu Kang didnt understand.


    Well only upy two seats. I know all of the seats have been booked. The other people can still use the seats after I take them, said Nian Junting carelessly. I can do whatever I want. But tell the organizers not to let other people know about this. After all, if people knew that I took a row of seats right before the release just to help you chase a girl, I may get a bad reputation.


    Lu Kang felt like vomiting.


    What do you mean by helping me chase a girl? Its you whos been chasing a girl. Why do you always like using others as excuses? And you made it sounds so reasonable. How could you?


    However, as Nian Junting was the boss, Lu Kang had no choice but to message one of the organizers via WeChat.


    Luosangs heart began thumping as Nian Junting walked to her. Hes not sitting here, is he?


    That handsome man ising over. Tang Ning dragged Luosangs hand.


    Luosang felt a little speechless. Tang Ning always got excited when she saw handsome men.


    Mr. Nian, Mr. Lu, are you here for the movie too? After Luosang stood up and greeted them, Yan Su did the same.


    Em, Nian Junting responded coldly, then nced at Lu Kang. Lu Kang hurriedly said, The organizers gave us a few tickets the other day. We werent busy this afternoon, so I invited Mr. Nian toe here.


    ( ReadReadReadNovelFull.c om ) Nian Junting nodded in satisfaction. He didnt ask toe, but Lu Kang invited him here. That was exactly what he wanted Lu Kang to say.


    Luosang nced at Yan Su with a faint smile, then said, Two boys watching a movie together?


    Arent you three girls gonna watch the movie together too? Nian Juntng said, then paused briefly and continued, And when are you going to return my jacket? You wouldnt give it back to me if I didnt happen to see you here, right?


    Sorry, Ive been busy the past few days. Ill return it to you tomorrow, Luosang exined in a low voice.


    Please, as soon as you can. I like that jacket, said Nian Junting while taking empty seat beside Luosangs.


    Luosang was confused. When she worked for him, she had never seen him wear anything twice within a month. Why was he now so urgent to get that jacket back? It seemed that he really liked it.


    And wasnt it too coincidental for him to sit right beside her in such arge venue? Besides, he was such a rich and wealthy man, so the organizers should have given him the tickets for the first row.


    While Luosang was pondering over the above questions, Nian Junting suddenly nced at her and asked, Have you gone on vacation?

 Chapter 104. Who the Hell is Chi Shengxu? Is that Man more Handsome and Capable then him?

    Chapter 104. Who the Hell is Chi Shengxu? Is that Man more Handsome and Capable then him?


    Recalling that Chi Shengxu had just praised her appearance, Luosang rolled her eyes silently as she couldnt help butpare him with Niang Junting. Mr. Nian, stop joking on me. I got tanned during work, she said.


    What kind of work tanned you into this? He asked.


    Luosang pressed her lips together and remained silent.


    Nian Junting thought that he shouldnt ask that question, as it may sound like he was very interested in her life. So, he uncrossed his legs and said tly, You know, since you used to be my carer, I wish that you can live a happy life. Men usually dont like women with dark skin.


    He was trying to tell her that he preferred women with whiter skin.


    Live a happy life, these few words made Luosang pause for a moment. No one had said these words to her for a very long time. Thest person who said that to her was her own father.


    She wanted to live a happy life, but two people destroyed her home. They had still been trying to give her more harms, as if they could never get tired of that.


    Nian Junting waited for a while, but Luosang hadnt said anything. He looked at her carefully out of the corners of his eyes. Somehow, he sensed a trace of sadness from her which soon disappered. He couldnt tell if that was real.


    Mr. Nian, thank you, a whileter, Luosang blinked and said with a gentle voice.


    Her voice was soft and beautiful, like a feather sweeping across his heart. Looking at her stunning face, Nian Junting pulled the cor of his shirt slightly. He felt that Lu Kang was right about her voice. Her voice was perfect for being a voice actor indeed.


    Lu Kang who was sitting beside Nian Junting and listening to his conversation with Luosang, now had a bitter feeling.


    Didnt you say that youll help me chasing the girl? Im miles away from Yan Su now. Mr. Nian, you cant only think about yourself, heined silently.


    He sighed and said, Mr. Nian, since Miss. Yan and her friends are here, how about I go get some popcorns for thedies?


    No need, our friend will send us popcorns and drinkster, Luosang shook her head and said.


    Nian Junting frowned and gave Lu Kang a nce. Lu Kang understood his bosss meaning, so he asked Luosang, You have another friend here? Whos that? Isnt he or she sitting together with you?


    Luosang was with hesitation, but Tang Ning responded hurriedly, His name is Chi Shengxu, our schoolmate. He yed a part in the movie that were going to watchter. He invited us here, or we wouldnt be able to get the tickets. But Luo is the one who he really wanted to invite.


    Yeah? Nian Junting nodded and said slowly with a cold voice.


    Only he himself knew that a wave of unexinable anger had risen from his heart.


    Chi Shengxu?


    Who the hell was Chi Shengxu? Was that man more handsome and capable than him?


    He believed that he was better than Chi Shengxu from all aspects, including in bed.


    She likes me, but refuses to keep a distance from other men. If I didnte here, I wouldnt find out about it. Shes too half-hearted to me, he thought.


    Does he like you? If so, he seems to have a poor taste, the discontent made his words unpleasant to hear.


    Luosang couldnt help but nce at him and said angrily, Mr. Nian, you better not to fall in me.


    Nian Junting snorted and responded with, Fall in you? How can that be possible? The fact is the other way round.


    If you do fall in me one day, Id certainly mistreat you. Luosangs patience has gone out, so she ignored what he said but continued.


    Somehow, Nian Junting sensed a coldness from his back. However, he ignored that feeling soon.


    Mistreat him? That would be impossible. The only thing that could happen was he mistreating her.


    He believed that Luosang had an exaggerated opinion of her own charm, and wondered if that was because she had a suitor now.


    Miss. Luo, Shengxu asked me to bring you some popcorns and drinks, Huo Fei came over with a good deal of snacks, But he also told me to tell you not to eat too much, as therell be lots of delicious food served in the party at night.

 Chapter 105. Nian Junting Knows Luosang and the Others, and Hes So Nice to Them

    Chapter 105. Nian Junting Knows Luosang and the Others, and He''s So Nice to Them


    Please say thank you to him for us. While talking to Huo Fei, Luosang smilingly handed some snacks to Tang Ning and Yan Su.


    Looking at Luosangs smiling face, Nian Junting was getting angrier and angrier.


    What does that mean? The party? Is he showing off in front of me? He believed that popcorn wasnt worth showing off, as he could build her a castle of snacks.


    Abruptly, he turned in his seat and said, What a coincidence. Im attending the party tonight as well, as an important guest.


    Luosang paused slightly, then responded with, Im not surprised that youre also invited, Mr. Nian.


    Yes, replied Nian Junting.


    Hearing their conversation, Lu Kang felt like going mad.


    When did you get invited? Important guest? Mr. Nian, do you have any sense of shame at all? Youre going to ask me to arrange it with the organizers, arent you? ( ReadReadReadNovelFull.c om )


    Right at that point, Mr. Zhu, who was one of the premieres organizers, came over smilingly to greet Nian Junting.


    Mr. Nian, its such a surprise that you attend the premiere. Were so ttered. If I knew you woulde, Id arrange the seats in the first row for you. May I do it for you now?


    Im fine, said Nian Junting ndly. I like it here; its quiet. Im just here to watch the movie and to see if todays film market is worth xinvestment.


    Hearing that, Mr. Zhu widened his eyes in excitement and said, Mr. Nian, are you thinking about investing in the film market?


    Yeah. I have too much money. You wouldnt understand my worry, Nian Junting supported his forehead with a hand, showing his perfectly shaped side profile.


    Luosang saw that Mr. Zhu paused slightly, just like she did, so she felt that Mr. Zhu might share the same impulse to beat Nian Junting to death with her.


    Youre right Mr. Nian. Everyone knows that youre wealthy. Mr. Zhuughed and said, I think my friends from the film circle will all be happy to know that youre interested in the film industry. Ill tell my people to send you some snacks, Mr. Nian.


    Get us something special and delicious. Nian Junting pointed his chin at Luosang and her roommates, then continued, Thesedies are friends of my assistant. Bring some snacks for them as well. Things like popcorn are just too cheap.


    Luosang felt speechless. She felt it was unnecessary for him to depreciate popcorn just offer her and her friends some more snacks. And, why did he introduce them as Lu Kangs friends? Didnt he know her himself?


    Mr. Nian, were good. The popcorn is enough for us


    Nian Junting ignored her and said to Mr. Zhu, Go.


    Mr. Zhu walked away hurriedly to make arrangements.


    Tang Ning sneakily pulled at Luosangs clothes and asked with a low voice, What is going on between you and the Mr. Nian? He seems to be powerful. Its almost like that hes the one who organized this premiere.


    He is powerful, Luosang nodded. She responded, I think his assistant wants to chase Su.


    His assistant looks nice. As the assistant of such a powerful man, I bet the boy has a bright future. Tang Ning admired Yan Su and Luosang for their good luck. Did you hear Mr. Nian say that he wants to invest in the film industry? Its an easy thing for an investor to make a girl the leading actress of a film. And I saw Chuen talk to him very politely just now. If a girl could be his girlfriend, shed have no worries for the rest of her life. ( ReadReadReadNovelFull.c om )


    Luosang nced at Tang Ning with an expression of dislike. What she didnt like about Tang Ning the most was that she always wanted to rely on the others. She believed that capabilities were more important than who you knew.


    Soon, Mr. Zhus people sent over many desserts and fresh juice. They worried that there might not be enough space to settle down the desserts and juices, so they also brought a small table for that purpose. Seeing all of it, the surrounding guests looked at Nian Junting out of curiosity.


    Ye Chuen, who sat in the first row, saw that as well. She was surprised and jealous. She didnt think that Nian Junting would know Luosang and her two other roommates, and would be so kind to them.

 Chapter 106. Mr. Nian, Youre so Dramatic

    Chapter 106. Mr. Nian, You''re so Dramatic


    Ye Chuen really wanted to go and ask Nian Junting about how did he know Luosang and the others, but she worried that thetter might embarrass her again with his mean words. So, she decided to stay in her seat.


    Too much Luosang looked at all the desserts, without knowing what to do.


    The premiere is beginning, dont interrupt me, Nian Junting put his forefinger against his thin lips and shushed Luosang.


    Luosang had no choice but to stop talking.


    At the beginning of the premiere, the masterminds, main framers and leading actors and actresses appeared on stage to introduce the movie and interact with the audiences and fans.


    Once the few leading actors and actresses showed up, the entire venue was overwhelmed by screams and apuse.


    Tang Ning took out three cardboards with Chi Shengxus name on them from under her seat, then gave one to each of Luosang and Yan Su and asked them to wave it.


    Luosang felt that it was necessary for her to support Chi Shengxu, because thetter invited her and her friends here. So, she took over the cardboard and raised it. However, once she began waving the cardboard, it was suddenly grabbed away and broken and thrown to the ground by the man sitting beside her.


    Its blocking my sight, so annoying, said Nian Junting.


    She didnt understand how could the cardboard block his sight, as she was only waving it in front of her own face.


    She turned to re at Nian Junting.


    What? You think its okay for you to block my sight? He asked.


    Luosang helplessly turned back.


    The host had boosted a nice atmosphere for the premiere. Nian Junting looked at the group of actresses standing on stage, feeling quite boring. He didnt know any of those girls, and he felt that all the actors on stage werent as handsome as himself, and the actresses werent as pretty as Luosang. Luosang and her friends had been discussing quite excitedly beside him, but he had no idea why were they so excited.


    He gave a close look at Chi Shengxu who yed a part in the movie, then smiled scornfully and nced at Lu Kang.


    Lu Kang had been assisting Nian Junting for years, so he immediately figured out what his boss wanted. He coughed slightly and said, The actor named Chi Shengxu looks so sissy.


    Nian Junting nodded in agreement.


    Luosang and Yan Su both nced at Lu Kang with dislike. Chi Shengxu was their friends, so they felt that Lu Kang shouldnt say that.


    Lu Kang wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. He didnt understand why his boss always made him the bad guy. I feel so because Ive spent too much time with Mr. Nian. Chi Shengxu isnt as handsome as our Mr. Nian, isnt as tall and strong as our Mr. Nian either. I really dont understand why you girls like that kind of boy.


    Stop ttering me like that. I wont raise your sry. Alright, stop talking. Hes their schoolmate after all. Keep watching, Nian Junting stopped himself from curving his lips in a smile, then nced at Lu Kang and said.


    Em, good job. Ill give you a pay riseHe said to Lu Kang through his eyes.


    Mr. Nian, you are so dramatic, thought Lu Kang.


    Hearing Nian Juntings words, Luosang and her friends didnt continue the conversation.


    By the end of the premiere, as the host asked the leading actors and actresses to pick a few fans to take pictures together, the whole cinema was nearly torn down by screams.


    Chi Shengxu picked a few girls. When the host asked him to choose the onest one, he pointed at Luosang and said, That girl, shes rising her hands higher than the others.


    The whole audience fixed their eyes on Luosang, and Luosang was speechless. She didnt raise her hands at all. But as Chi Shengxu was looking at her smilingly, she had no choice but to stand up.


    She walked on stage to stand side by side with Chi Shengxu. Chi Shengxu put his arm around her shoulder and said to her with a low voice, Youre not scared, are you? I just want to take a picture with you.


    Im afraid that your female fans are going to be so jealous of me, said Luosang naughtily.


    Under the stage, with a grim look, Nian Junting was watching Luosang talking happily with Chi Shengxu.


    She has gone too far. Shes doing it on purpose, isnt she? She wants to make me jealous, and let me know that shes so different now, that even a male star likes her. He thought.


    He felt humiliated as he believed that Luosang wasparing him with Chi Shengxu.


    Mr. Nian Lu Kang said while carefully observing the look in his face, I think this actor named Chi Shengxu is Feng Ges son.

 Chapter 107. Next Time, Keep A Distance From That Sissy Boy

    Chapter 107. Next Time, Keep A Distance From That Sissy Boy


    Feng Ge, who? asked Nian Junting.


    One of the first-ss drama actor of our country, the chairman and member of all sorts of dramatic associations, responded Du Kang. Earlier, Ive attended a party on your behalf. At the party, I saw Feng Ge with Chi Shengxu. Many people in the film circle admired Feng Ge, so if Luosang bes Chi Shengxus girlfriend, theyll certainly make her a star.


    Nian Junting frowned and sighed, Anyone can be an actor or actress as long as they have a background. No wonder film and drama series are going downhill these days.


    Lu Kang nced at therge group of Chi Shengxus fans who were behind them, then said, But todays young girls like him.


    Thats because they all have poor taste, said Nian Junting, Tell the investors to keep Chi Shengxu busy at the party tonight. Dont let him hang around. Hes against my standard of beauty.


    Eh alright, said Lu Kang.


    Five minutester, Luosang walked down the stage. As her seat was close to the wall, she needed to weave through the seats of others carefully. While doing that, she suddenly sensed a scorching hot gaze on her.- ReadReadReadNovelFull.c om


    She raised her head to see Nian Juntings eyes filled with discontent.


    She was confused. At that moment, someone tripped her and made her fall straight toward Nian Junting, who was right in front of her. She closed her eyes when falling into his strong chest. His refreshing scent filled her nostrils. She had sensed that scent days before and found it rather pleasant.


    She felt extremely embarrassed falling in front of so many people. So she hurriedly pressed her hands against his chest to help herself stand up.


    Nian Junting watched her press both hands against his chest. He was a little angry at her because she had let another man put his arm around her shoulder and talked quite happily with him. But he didnt understand why she suddenly gave him a big hug. Was she afraid that he might get mad?


    He gave a faint smile, feeling a little used to her little tricks, which he believed were yed to attract his attention.


    while struggling up, Luosang apologized with, Sorry, Mr. Nian, I didnt do it on purpose. Someone tripped me.


    Its alright, I dont mind. But next time, you should keep away from that sissy man. Dont let him put his arm around your shoulder again; I dont like it. Nian Junting dropped his eyes and noticed her corbones hiding under her cloth. Before, he had only noticed her cleavage, but this time, he found that her corbones were as beautiful as a flying butterfly.


    What? Luosang felt like Nian Junting was having a big misunderstanding again.


    Didnt you fall deliberately? He raised his eyes and said, Otherwise, why didnt you fall earlier orter? Why didnt you fall on anyone else but me?


    Luosang honestly didnt know how to exin. Its really just a coincidence she said.


    Stop exining. I know exactly what youre thinking. Nian Junting curved his lips slightly and said, When are you gonna stop touching my chest muscles?


    Luosangs face blushed. She was trying to exin just now but forgot to take her hands away from his chest. She hurriedly sat down on her seat and nced at the ce where she fell down earlier. She saw a young girl who seemed to be about seventeen years old, holding a cardboard with Chi Shengxus name on it. The girl rolled her eyes when Luosang looked at her.


    Luosang rubbed her forehead, then said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, its that girl who tripped me just now. Shes Chi Shengxus die-hard fan. I think she might be jealous of me. You see, shes rolling her eyes at me.- ReadReadReadNovelFull.c om


    Nian Junting turned to nce at the girl, then said with a serious look, Stop talking nonsense. That girl looks nice. How could a girl like this do something like that? Dont try to pass the buck. I know exactly what kind of a person you are.


    You know, my ass.

 Chapter 108. Mr. Nian, Theres A Generation Gap Between Us

    Chapter 108. Mr. Nian, There''s A Generation Gap Between Us


    Alright, Luo, stop talking, we all know what you want. After all, Mr. Nian is so handsome and rich. I want to pretend to fall into his arms too, Tang Ning dragged her sleeve and said to her with a low voice that only the two of them could hear.


    Luosang even wanted to vomit blood. She was tripped by someone but couldnt take revenge, and ended up being seen as a lustful girl.


    That was awful.


    She turned to Yan Su, saw thetter nodding at her.


    She sighed with relief, as at least one person knew about her real situation.


    You should leave when the movie ended, Nian Junting said abruptly in a bossy manner, Since you like me, you should keep a distance from other men. Youre not allowed to talk so happily with other men either.


    Luosang even felt like sitting in a fire. Mr. Nian, I think we should make it clear. I dont like you, she said.


    Nian Junting smiled and responded with, You dont like me? Then who told me that she worried she might lose herself in her love to me? And, didnt you tell me that you couldnt work in mypany as a trantor, because you love me so much that you couldnt even stand to live in the same city with me? I remember everything you said and when and where.


    Luosang rubbed her forehead again, regretting saying those words only to make him feel better. By now, she guessed that she couldnt possibly find an exnation for what she had told him.


    Mr. Nian, she said, That was long ago. You see, we havent seen each other for over eight month. My feelings to you are gone.


    She paused, then added something strong, I was inexperienced before. Now Im in college, and I found that my school is full of young and handsome boys. Theyre all at my age, not like you. Mr. Nian, youre six or seven years older than me, so theres a generation gap between you and me. You see, I can talk with them about the most popr films, stars, study, our friends, and our favorite books and food, but what can you and I possibly talk about? Stocks? Politics? Investments? I know nothing about all those.


    Hearing her, Nian Junting suddenly felt that one breath had been stuck in his chest, couldnte out or go down. Youre saying that Im too old, arent you?


    He believed that she was revenging on him. He couldnt think of another reason apart from that. He felt that she was such a narrow-minded woman.


    I can see that youre trying to find excuses, he quickly calmed back down and continued, After knowing a man like me, youll find that school boys are all childish and hotheaded; youll also find them not generous enough, career-less, and that they cant give you enough sense of security. As for yourmon topics, those need to be based on financial abilities. Otherwise, no matter how much you talk, your words would all be meaningless. Oh well, forget it. Im done talking to you. You said all that because youre angry at me for not letting you attend the party, right? I get it. You can go to the party. After all, youre an art student, and you need to know some directors.


    As he suddenly made a long speech, Luosang was stunned a little, didnt know which part of his words to argue against.


    Then she wanted to say something.


    Alright, stop talking, the movie is beginning, while speaking, he grabbed some popcorns from her hands. After tasting the popcorns, he knitted his brows and took the bucket of popcorns away from her hands, then threw it into the trash bin and said, Its soft, tastes awful. Stop eating it. Its bad for health. Eat the pudding.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    I didnt ask you to eat my popcorns. Im really having enough of this, she thought, Bad for health? Why dont you say that itll cause incurable diseases?

 Chapter 109. Shes So Good at Playing Hard-to-Get Now

    Chapter 109. She''s So Good at ying Hard-to-Get Now


    The movie was two hours long, but the plot was tight, so the story wasnt boring.


    It was half-past ten when the movie ended. Mr. Zhu came over himself to guide Nian Junting to the hotel next to the cinema for the party.


    Huo Fei came to get Luosang and her friends.


    As Nian Junting was busy talking to Mr. Zhu, Luosang and her friends hurriedly left with Huo Fei.


    Looking at her back, Nian Junting felt annoyed.


    He believed that Luosang was getting better and better at ying the hard-to-get game by relying on her age and beauty.


    He was nning to look after her at the partyter, but now, he changed his mind. He decided to let her deal with all the difficulties herself.


    When leaving the cinema, Yan Su nced back and said to Luosang, Luo, is it bad for us to just leave like this?


    Do you want to spend more time with Lu Kang? Dont you wanna keep some distance from him? Luosang responded helplessly. She didnt want to leave without saying goodbye either, but what she didnt want more was to create an even deeper misunderstanding between Nian Junting and herself.


    ( B oxnovel.c om ) Yan Su thought for a moment, then stayed silent.


    At the party, Chi Shengxu soon walked towards Luosang and her friends with a bearded middle-aged man. Let me introduce Director Zhang to you. Hes the director of ck Screen.


    Director Zhang, these three are my schoolmates. One is majoring in music, and the other two in broadcasting. Especially Luosang. She has dubbed for quite a few drama series. Shes very experienced, said Chi Shengxu to Director Zhang.


    Tang Ning had a smile on her face at first, but when Chi Shengxu emphasized Luosang, she showed a slightly sour look. I did an internship in the radio station of Xia City, she hurriedly added.


    Director Zhang didnt look at her, but carefully gazed at Luosang with a faint smile. I see. Shengxu, Mr. Fu is expecting you. You should get over there, he said.


    But Chi Shengxu hesitated.


    Dont worry. Youve introduced these girls to me in particr, so Ill look after them for you. Director Zhang patted her shoulder.


    Hearing that, Chi Shengxu helplessly gave Lusoang a wink, then turned and left.


    May I call you Miss. Luo? Director Zhang smiled gently to Luosang and asked, Could I have a moment with you?


    Luosang gave a start, then had a strange feeling. However, she still nodded and walked towards a window with Director Zhang.


    Xu Luosang, Xu Zhengxuans daughter. Director Zhang sighed after gazing at her for a while. Youve dubbed many films at a young age, and have studied in Japan for a year. You mastered multiplenguages; English, French, Japanese, and even more. Director Qi Song asked you to dub for four characters in one film before his retirement. That film made you famous.


    Luosang pressed her lips together and clenched her fists. She said, I I havent seen you before, Director Zhang. How did you recognize me?


    Director Zhang showed some sympathy in his eyes when responding with, Two years ago, someone told all the directors not to hire you. Days ago, I was told that the newly emerged voice actress named Luosang is Xu Luosang, and whoever hired her would have to suffer consequences. I despise your father, but I admire your talent. I know that Shengxu means well, but I cant help you. Im sorry. Dont worry though; I wont tell Shengxu.


    ( B oxnovel.c om ) Director Zhang, thank you. Lusoang was touched. Unlike Director Hong, Director Zhang talked to her honestly and respected her. Apart from that, he wasnt going to spread rumors and bring her more humiliation.


    However, she was surprised to find that within this short time, Yi Jingxi had told everyone in the film circle not to hire her already.


    Did he want her to die on her way to pursue her dream?

 Chapter 110. Look at You, Bullying Two Girls

    Chapter 110. Look at You, Bullying Two Girls


    I have something else to do, Miss. Xu, please enjoy your time here, Director Zhang said to Luosang apologetically, then left.


    Luo, has Director Zhang offered you a chance to dub for his new film? Hes not making you the leading actress, is he? Tang Ning immediately walked to Luosang and asked.


    No, Luosang shook her head and forced a smile out of her face.


    Tang Ning pouted and said, You can tell me if he wants to make you a star. I wont be jealousy.


    Luosang felt a little annoyed, so she ignored Tang Ning but walked to a couch and sat down to rest.


    Without Chi Shengxus rmendation, no one else came to talk to Luosang and her friends. Yan Su and Luosang sat in the couch, drinking. Tang Ning wasnt willing to give up, so she went to find Ye Chuen.


    Did Director Zhang say something to you just now? Yan Su asked with worry. She hardly ever saw Luosang keeping her head lowered and drinking like that.


    No, Luosang shook her head. She didnt dare to tell Yan Su what happened, because she worried that thetter might not want to be friends with her anymore after finding out that her father was Xu Zhengxuan.


    Its alright if you dont want to tell me. Everybody has their own secrets. But if its making you feel too bad, you cane to me and get it off your chest. Were good friends. Once Yan Su finished talking, a man put a hand on her shoulder.


    Hello, arent you twodies getting bored sitting here? A middle-aged man stood behind Yan Su, holding a ss of wine. His small eyes lookedscivious when he was smiling.


    Yan Su frowned, pushed his hand away and responded with, Were not bored.


    Eh? Youre quite different, the middle-aged man seemed to be dissatisfied by Yan Sus move. Do you know who I am? Call me Mr. Wei. Im the owner of Fenglin Electronics. I invested in this movie. You two are pretty. If you spend a night with me, Ill make you the leading actresses for my next movie.


    Lets go, Luosang stood up, held Yan Sus hand and prepared to leave. Her face was filled with disgust.


    Dont you dare, Mr. Wei grabbed her hand and dragged her toward his chest, Ahyaya, your shoulders, and boobs, I like them.


    While speaking, he reached his other hand toward her chest.


    Let go of me! Whats wrong with you! Luosang tried to stop him, so did Yan Su. The three of them nearly started a fight by the window.


    They were in a corner, and the venue wasrge, so only a few people noticed them. The ones who saw it just stood there and watched, none tried to make peace.


    Nian Junting was in the Southern part of the venue, talking to somebody. He had been keeping an eye on Luosang. He saw that Luosang and Yan Su were osted. However, as he was still angry at her, he wanted her to suffer a little.


    You didnte in with me, so I guess now youve learned hanging around in a ce like this isnt easy, he thought.


    He coldly watched Luosang for a while. But soon, he discovered that things werent quite right, because he saw that Mr. Wei had reached his hand to her chest.


    B*stard, even I never touched her.


    Seeing the two girls falling in disadvantages, he put down the wine ss and quickly walked over.


    Before he arrived, Mr. Wei had already pushed Yan Su to the ground and grabbed Luosangs face to pour wine into her mouth.


    The wine ran down through her neck, made her look like a mess.


    Luosang was already in desperation. So, when such a thing happened to her, she was infuriated. She grabbed a wine ss and smashed it on the table, then pointed the sharp broken ss at Mr. Wei and said, You try to make me drink again, Ill kill you.


    Facing her cold eyes, Mr. Wei was truly frightened a little. Alright, if you dared to hurt me, Ill send a few men to rape your friend to death.


    Mr. Wei, look at you, bullying two girls, suddenly, an icy-cold voice was heard.


    Right after that, Mr. Wei was pushed forward by someone. His face fell straight toward the sharp broken ss in Luosangs hand. He was freaked out as the ss was nearly piercing into his eyeball.

 Chapter 111. Mr. Nian, Shes… Your Woman?

    Chapter 111. Mr. Nian, She''s�� Your Woman?


    Luosang was startled as well. She automatically pulled her hand away, however, it was already toote. Mr. Weis eye brushed against the broken ss. A deep wound was left in his face, and blood gushed out immediately.


    He covered his eyes with his hands, then burst into screams. Then, he realized there was a man behind him. When he turned back to see Nian Juntings cold, faintly smiling face, his legs crumpled.


    Mr. Nian he said.


    Nian Junting didnt look at him, but grabbed Luosangs hand, which was still holding the broken ss, and said ndly, Why did you pull your hand away just now? Just poke his eye out. As long as Im here, you dont need to be afraid. Ill give his eyeball to you as a gift.


    Recalling what had just happened, cold sweat oozed out of Luosangs forehead. However, when seeing Nian Juntings perfectly shaped face, she suddenly calmed down. Somehow, she felt that no matter how fiercely she argued against him, he would always help her.


    Its the first time I will have done something like this, so Im not prepared. Next time, I wont pull my hand away, she said.


    Her words surprised him and made him fix his eyes on her for a short while. As a former special force soldier, he was impressed by Luosangs courage andposure.


    Mr. Nian, shes your woman? Hearing their conversation, Mr. Wei was still covering his bleeding eyes. Im really sorry, he said, I was blind. Please dont mind me. Ill leave right now.


    Id lose face if I let you go now, wouldnt I? Nian Junting suddenly took the broken ss from Luosangs hand and walked toward Mr. Wei. Didnt you want to touch the girls chest just now? You havent touched it yet, so how can you leave? You used your right hand, didnt you? Come on, Ill let you touch my chest.


    While speaking, he pressed Mr. Weis right hand to the table, then raised the broken ss high to stab his hand.


    Mr. Wei screamed out loud and directly kneeled on the ground. He even pissed his pants.


    However, the broken ss stopped an inch away from his hands. After that, Nian Junting smilingly pped his face with the ss and said, Im just trying to scare you. Look at you. Youre so frightened that you even peed yourself. I guess your kidneys arent working too well. Since you dont have healthy kidneys, you should stay away from girls. You might scare them. Just go see a doctor in the nephrology hospital.


    Yes yes Ill go right now. Mr. Wei tremblingly struggled up from the ground with weak legs.


    Seeing Mr. Wei shambling away with piss dripping down his trousers, Luosangughed, as she found it very amusing.


    How can youugh? Nian Junting looked at her, eyes showing a sarcastic smile while saying, Hasnt Chi Shengxu been looking after you? Where is he? I didnt see him take care of you.


    Luosangs face blushed as she responded with, Hes been busy.


    So he left you here. Good. Nian Junting nodded and continued, But if I was him, Id at least be aware that leaving two girls in a strange ce is rather dangerous, especially in a ce like this. Two pretty girlsing out of nowhere. People might think youre waiting to sleep with someone to further your career.


    Im sorry. Ill be leaving now. Luosang already had a bellyful of grievance. Maybe it was because she was drunk because she had be a little emotional. Hearing Nian Juntings words, she immediately turned back, grabbing Yan Sus arm as she prepared to leave.


    Nian Junting caught her by her hand and said, Stop. As he put forth his strength through his wrist, she was dragged back and nearly fell into his arms.


    What do you want? she asked.


    Look at you, Nian Junting took a small bagful of hygienic towelettes out of his pocket, then pulled out a sheet to press onto the corner of her mouth.


    Luosang paused slightly, then recalled that just now, Mr. Wei tried to pour some wine into her mouth. She didnt drink the wine, so the wine flew down her mouth and left red marks on her face and neck. Now, as the wine dried, she could imagine how awful she must look. She guessed her entire chin and neck were red.

 Chapter 112

    Chapter 112


    Luosangs face blushed. She lowered her head to check her cloth, and found that it was wetted by the wine. Then, she raised her eyes to see the man who had been wiping her mouth. The light of the luxurious chandelier quietly poured on his handsome face, made him look even more elegant than usual. However, he wasnt aware of that, but was frowningly staring at Luosangs face. She had seen her own reflection in his bottomless-deep, dark eyes, that made her feel hot, and hard to turn her eyes away from him.


    Until his hands almost reached her corbones, Luosang quivered and hurriedly grasped his hand and said, Ill do it myself.


    Nian Junting gazed at her hand which was holding his hand. Her face was tanned, but the skin of her hand was still milky-white, seemed to be in harmony with his olive skin.


    Well, even our skin colors match so perfectly, he thought.


    He smiled with satisfaction, then said, If you want to do it yourself, whyre you holding my hand?


    Sensing the warmth from his skin, Luosang hurriedly loosened her hand, as if she was burned. I worried that you might not stop if I didnt make you to, she said, feeling a little embarrassed.


    Am I a lustful man who doesnt know how to respect women? Youve taken so much advantage of me, yet youre still trying to shift the me to other shoulders. Nian Junting shook his head helplessly and threw away the used towelette. Then, he put the whole bagful of towelette in her hands and said to her, your chest is dirty as well, wipe yourself.


    Luosangs face blushed again. She guessed that he had seen something that he wasnt supposed to see, as he knew that her chest was dirty. Stop looking at me, she said.


    While speaking, she hurriedly pulled her cor upward.


    Your cor is too wide. Is that my fault? Nian Junting honestly felt that there was no need for her to do that. However, he was used to her little tricks, and found them quite interesting. You can wear this kind of clothes when youre with me, but in front of other men, you need to dress more conservatively.


    I wear whatever I like. Does that have anything to do with you? Luosang red at him while wiping her own neck.


    Nian Junting wasnt angry at all. Being stared by Luosangsrge bright eyes, he felt that his heart was itchy.


    That has everything to do with me. Ill be taking off your clothes in the future, so I get to decide what you wear, he thought.


    Have you done? If youre done, Ill send you back, he said.


    Mr. Nian, thank you for your kindness. Well take a taxi. Luosang wanted to leave as soon as possible, and decided to not wait for Tang Ning.


    Lets go. I bet Mr. Wei is waiting for you in some dark corner. You need me to send you back, so hell know that youre really under my protection, and wont dare to bring you any more troubles, said Nian Juntingzily, Youre just a student, but you always offended people that you arent supposed to offend. If you didnt have me with you every time, you wouldnt be able to get yourself out of troubles.


    Do you think I want this? Said Luosang through clenched teeth, I cant help, Im too pretty.


    Nian Junting didnt know how to continue, as he suddenly realized that Luosang was even more confident than he was.


    The four of them walked out of the hotel. Nian Juntings car was still parked by the cinema, so Lu Kang went to get it. He needed about ten minutes for that.


    Nian Junting and the two girls waited by the entrance of the hotel. Hearing that he was leaving, Mr. Zhu hurriedly came to say goodbye. Mr. Nian, why are you leaving so soon? Did we do anything wrong? Just now, quite a few directors and filmmakers wanted to talk with you about the future film investments.


    Youve done something indeed, Nian Juntings face darkened slightly. As a sessful man who had spent his time in the army, he had an invisible but strong cold vibe radiated from his body once his expression changed slightly.

 Chapter 113. He Protected Her, and Respected Her

    Chapter 113. He Protected Her, and Respected Her


    Mydy friend here has been bullied by Wei. What kind of a party are you throwing? Its all a mess. Any uneducated person could get in. Im afraid that Id be lowering my rank by staying here for even one more minute.


    Mr. Zhu gave a start. Even though he didnt know what had happened, he managed to figure something out when seeing Luosang and thinking of Mr. Weis reputation. That that Mr. Nian, I am really, really sorry. I think Mr. Wei was drunk and out of his mind. You see, hes the biggest investor of the movie, and hes always bossy. But please dont worry. Well all be keeping distance from him after this party.


    Keeping distance? Nian Junting sneered and said, Im sorry. When I walked out of that door, I decided to purchase Weispany.


    Both Luosang and Yan Su paused in shock. Seeing Nian Juntings cold face, they both knew he wasnt joking.


    Mr. Zhu swallowed his saliva. Those words would sound like a bluff if they came from another mans mouth. However, as it was Nian Junting who said it, Mr. Zhu had no choice but to believe that it was true. After all, Nian Junting had always been resolute and unpredictable. By now, Mr. Wei could only pray for himself.


    Purchase said Mr. Zhu, Thats good, Mr. Nian, as long as youre happy. So about investment


    The film industry is profitable indeed, but I noticed all the directors and filmmakers in the party have poor taste. The twodies by my side are the prettiest ones among them all. Most importantly, they dont have fake eyes and noses like the other actresses. Those girls are pretty too, but not as natural and special as these two. However, while they were sitting in there, no one had any interest in working with them. The ones who talked to them were all scumbags like Wei. How do you select actresses for a film? Do you want them to be able to party and sleep with you, or do you want them to have great backgrounds? asked Nian Junting with a serious face.


    Mr. Zhus face blushed as he replied, Mr. Nian, the people in there really do have poor taste. The twodies by your side are really beautiful and unique. I mean, I havent seen any girls prettier than them


    Hearing him, Luosang and Yan Su started feeling shy  especially Luosang.


    Luosang truly didnt think that Nian Junting would think so highly of her appearance. After all, he had only been saying mean words to her. It surprised her that he was angry that no one came to talk to her and Yan Su back at the party.


    At that moment, Luosang felt deeply touched.


    Mr. Nian, please get in the car. Lu Kang had driven the Maybach over.


    The waiter by the main entrance of the hotel opened the car door for Nian Junting and the two girls. Same as thest time, Yan Su took the front seat. Nian Junting suddenly turned back while bending over to get into the car, and said to Mr. Zhu, Go tell the people who saw what happened tonight not to tell anyone else about it. Itll be bad for the girls reputation.


    Mr. Zhu hurriedly nodded.


    Sitting in the car, Luosang was stunned. His words got her choked up. In private, he was mean to her sometimes, but in public, he always protected and respected her. Today, he had punished Mr. Wei for her, but as he said, if people knew about what happened, they would onlyugh at her and Yan Su.


    After the car started, Nian Junting began feeling different from thest time. Without the giant Xiaosi, he and Luosang each took a half of the backseat. He felt that she was so far away from him, and he didnt like it. It seems that I need to bring Xiaosi out more frequently, he thought.


    Eh Mr. Nian, thank you for not telling anyone about what happened tonight. But, do you finally believe that I didnt have any stic surgery? Luosang asked out of curiosity.

 Chapter 114. Do You Want to be with Me and Hold My Hands Every day?

    Chapter 114. Do You Want to be with Me and Hold My Hands Every day?


    Nian Junting crossed his legs and threw the question back to Luosang, When did I believe that you didnt do stic surgeries?


    You said that my beauty if natural, and you said that I dont have fake eyes and nose like some of the other girls she said.


    I said that because I was trying to help you, after saying that, Nian Junting turned his face away and cleared his throat, then continued, But Ive looked around at the party. I found that you two are prettier than the other girls.


    Luosang sneakily nced at the back of his head, couldnt help but smile.


    It really isnt easy for him topliment me, she thought, And, did he give Mr. Zhu a hard time only because no one noticed us back at the party?


    Mr. Nian, your towelette, Luosang handed him the rest of the towelette.


    Nian Junting nced back at her hand, then responded with, Keep it, put it in your bag.


    Luosang did what he said, then said, Mr. Nian, I didnt think that you would carry things like hygienic towelette with you. After all, youre a man.


    So many people want to shake my hand everyday. I sure need to prepare some hygienic towelette to wipe my hands at any time I want. I got a box of these in the trunk, Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said.


    How much do you dislike the others? Thought Luosang.


    Mr. Nian, she said, When you get a girlfriend, you may need to hold her hands every day. So by then, will you be needing to carry a box of disposable gloves in your trunk? Luosang was really curious about that.


    Nian Junting pondered carefully over her question, then replied, Are you saying that you want to be my girlfriend and hold my hands every day?


    I dont Luosang hurriedly exined.


    We can hold hands during wintertime, so that our hands will be warm. But not in the summertime, because itll be hot and our hands can sweat easily, he answered her question seriously, Ill be fine without gloves. Ill also be fine without condoms. Well, if you want to use condoms, Ill also respect your choice.


    Luosang felt that her cheeks began burning once she heard what he said. She didnt understand why he suddenly started talking about condoms.


    Haha, a burst ofughter was heard from the front seat.


    Lu Kang was experienced. His face was twitching, but he didnt make even the slightest sound ofugh. It was Yan Su whoughed out. She just couldnt help. I need to friendly remind you that two living human beings are sitting at the front, she said.


    What are you talking about? The blushed Luosang red at Nian Junting and said.


    Didnt you bring up this topic? He asked.


    When did I do that? Luosang felt like going crazy, Who wants to use condoms with you?


    Nian Junting stared at her for a moment, figured that she might be shy. He felt that he probably shouldnt mention those private topics as other people were sitting at the front. Suddenly, he began to think that Lu Kang and Yan Su were really unsightly.


    However, the angry Luosang looked cute, made him want to kiss her.


    He opened his sexy thin lips. However, before he said a word, Luosang hurriedly raised a hand to stop him, Stop, I dont want to talk to you.


    She was afraid that if the conversation continued, she might be too ashamed to face anyone.


    Nian Junting frowned, but soon, he understood her. As two gooseberries were right in front of them, now really wasnt the time for chatting. So, he decided to find another day to continue that topic with her.


    He also needed to talk with her about getting her some resources for her dubbing work. If she became his girlfriend one day, he believed that he must help her pursue her dream. However, if she wants to be a star, he wouldnt agree on that. After all, he wouldnt want his girlfriend to y loves with other men on screens.


    As same as thest time, the car was parked near the school. Before getting off, Luosang thought for a moment and said, Mr. Nian, can you wait here for a moment? Ill go back to my dorm to get you your jacket.

 Chapter 115. Mr. Nian, Have You even Started Reading Your Horoscope?

    Chapter 115. Mr. Nian, Have You even Started Reading Your Horoscope?


    No need. Later, I have something important to do. Nian Junting shook his head and said, Send the jacket to mypany tomorrow. Call Lu Kang when you arrive.


    Tomorrow? Luosang said, I have to work tomorrow.


    You must send it to me tomorrow. I have an important meeting the day after tomorrow. ording to my horoscope, brown is my lucky color for this month, and I only have one brown jacket, said Nian Junting with a serious look. He made himself sound extra reasonable.


    The corner of Lu Kangs mouth twitched again. Mr. Nian, you have no meetings the day after tomorrow. Yeah, just keep making things up. And horoscopes? Have you ever tried reading anything about horoscopes in your life?


    Luosang was so surprised. Mr. Nian, have you started reading your horoscopes? she asked.


    Nian Junting raised his beautiful eyes and responded, I didnt believe in such things before. But after that car ident, I thought I should believe a little.


    Luosang chuckled and asked, Whats your star sign then?


    Whats my star sign? Nian Junting didnt know the answer. He lowered his head and checked his watch calmly, then said, I have an important video meeting in half an hour. If you want to know my star sign, Ill talk with you about it tomorrow when you send my jacket to me.


    As he said that he was busy, Luosang didnt continue asking questions. Instead, she said, Alright, Ill try to send you the jacket before you get off work.


    You must send it to me before I get off work, he said, then closed the car window.


    After the car drove away, Yan Suughed out loud. Why do I feel like that Mr. Nian is so interesting? she asked.


    Shut up. Luosangs face blushed as she said, Stopughing. Stop being crazy.


    Yan Su stood up and said,Im serious. Mr. Nian definitely likes you.


    Luosang gave Yan Su a threatening nce and said, And Lu Kang likes you. I bet he was still in thepany when you messaged him. But after you told him that you were going to the premiere, he came right away.


    But we only chatted briefly in the car. Unlike us, you and Mr. Nian were sitting together and talking all the time. Yan Su shrugged and said, He likes you, and its written all over his face. Havent you seen how dark his face was when you were bullied by Mr. Wei? It was almost like someone took away his oxygen. And, when anything happens to you, hes always there. Why? That party was huge. Chi Shengxu didnt notice what happened to you, but he did. That means he was been paying attention to you the whole time. Not to mention the fact that hes so powerful. Mr. Wei was so scared that he even peed on himself. Mr. Nian is really quite handsome.


    Handsome? Go chase him if you like him, Luosangughed and said.


    I already have a boyfriend. Besides, Mr. Nian didnt even look at me. He helped me only because Im your friend, said Yan Su.


    Butst time, you said that he always says poisonous words, and that most women dont like men like him.


    Thats because I didnt know him well enough. Hes actually fun, and hes handsome. I would quit eating if I could look at his face everyday. After saying that, Yan Su paused slightly, then continued, You looked bad at the party, but now, it seems that youve recovered already.


    Luosang paused briefly as well, then recalled what Director Zhang said to her. Back at that time, she was depressed. But after what Nian Junting said and did, she seemed to feel much better.


    Em, Ive recovered, she said.


    While she was speaking, her cell phone started ringing. It was a strange number. She answered the phone, then heard Chi Chengxus caring voice. Luosang, why did you leave abruptly tonight? Were you bored? Im really sorry that I was too busy to spend time with you at the party. I didnt think that Id be so busy tonight. I wanted to talk to you for a few times, but couldnt manage to.

 Chapter 116. Mr. Nian, You Are Better and Better at Talking Barefaced Nonsense

    Chapter 116. Mr. Nian, You Are Better and Better at Talking Barefaced Nonsense


    Its alright, I know you were busy, Luosang silently sighed in relief. It seemed that what happened to her and Yan Su tonight at the party didnt spread. Ive arrived at the school already, she continued.


    I was going to send you back, said Chi Shengxu regrettably, Did Director Zhang tell you anything? Did he promise you any chance?


    Director Zhang is a nice person. He said that hell help me if theres a chance, said Luosang.


    Thats great. Ill definitely ask you to dub for my next film. I know that you can do perfect male voices too. Ill go back to school for ssestely. We should go to Professor Chengs ss together. And, I need to treat you to dinner to apologize for not being able to take good care of you tonight. Bye. Chi Shengxu hung up the phone before Luosang finished her talking.


    Luosang looked at her phone and gave a bitter smile. She knew that even if Chi Shengxu requested to work with her, his director wouldnt agree.


    Someone has a lot of good fortune in love affairstely, Yan Su joked.


    Lets go back, said Luosang.


    As the Maybach was driving on the broad road, Lu Kang coughed slightly and asked, Mr. Nian, do we have a video meeting in half an hour? Why dont I know about that?


    Did I say that just now? Said Nian Junting, I might have misremembered. No, we dont have any video meeting.


    Lu Kang was quite speechless. Mr. Nian, youre better and better at talking barefaced nonsense, he thought.


    Youve done a good job tonight. Ill give you a pay rise. Work harder, Nian Junting lowered his head to look at his watch, then continued, Its early. Lets go to the bookstore.


    Bookstore?


    Yeah, I need to get a book about horoscope. Otherwise, if Luosang asks me about that tomorrow, Id be embarrassed as I have no knowledge of it.


    It would be impossible for you to feel embarrassed, thought Lu Kang.


    Lu Kang even wanted to cry, but failed to shed any tears. It waste at night, but he still needed to apany his boss to the bookstore to buy a book about horoscope.


    One oclock in the morning, Tang Ning and Ye Chuen returned to the dorm together, both seemed to be in a good mood. Theirughter woke Luosang up.


    Luosang, why didnt you tell me when you left? Tang Ning said in aining way. Before Luosang responded, she continued, Im telling you this, Chuen got me a dubbing job tonight. Ill be dubbing for one of the supporting actresses in a film. Im really happy about that. Ive decided that Ill be a professional dubber.


    Yeah? Congrattions. I was too tired, so I came back without you. I figured that youde back with Chuen, so I didnt interrupt you, Luosang gave a smile, but with a bitter feeling. Her dubbing skill was way better than Tang Nings, but thetter had got a job, while she had fewer and fewer opportunities.


    While removing her makeup, Ye Chuen asked meaningfully, I guess Chi Shengxu and Junting have introduced some people to you, right? I didnt think that you knew Junting. How did you know him? Why didnt I hear you mention that?


    Me and Mr. Nian are just acquaintances. We dont know each other well, said Luosang tly.


    I doubt it. Luo, youre not keeping secrets from us, are you? Tang Ning raised her eyebrows and asked.


    Somehow, Luosang felt annoyed. Why would I lie to you? I said no, and I mean it.


    Alright, Tang Ning, stop overthinking it. Luo doesnt seem to be in a good mood. Lets get to bed now. Weve all had a long day, Ye Chuen smoothly ended the topic, then the dorm quieted back down.


    However, in the darkness, Luosang couldnt fall asleep.


    The next morning, after the morning ss, Luosang arrived at Jinding International at ten oclock in the morning.


    Yi Jingxi who was absent for days had been sitting in the couchzily, drinking coffee. He was wearing a grey sweater, looking very elegant among the coiling steams.

 Chapter 117. Yi Jingxi Suddenly Feel Uneasy and Annoyed

    Chapter 117. Yi Jingxi Suddenly Feel Uneasy and Annoyed


    It seemed that the rumor was real. Yi Jingxi and Zhongyi were in a good rtionship indeed. He was only away for a few days, but already, he had returned in such a hurry. Luosang remembered that it required two hours by fly from An City to Xia City.


    Mr. Yi, Luosang greeted him, then put the paper bag she was holding in her hand into the cab by the door. In the bag was Nian Juntings jacket. She nned to send the jacket to Nian Junting after work.


    Afterward, Luosang picked up the broom, prepared to go upstairs to do some cleaning.


    Stop. Her politeness and neglect darkened Yi Jiangxis handsome face slightly. What time is it now? You didnte make the breakfast. Is this how you work for Zhong Yi as her assistant?


    I have sses today. Ive told her about that yesterday, responded Luosang.


    Yi Jingxi stared at her for a while, said abruptly, It seems that Zhong Yi has been too nice to you.


    Luosang coldly looked at him and gave him a smile.


    Why are you looking at me like that? Somehow, Yi Jingxi felt uneasy and annoyed under her gaze.


    Mr. Yi, a man should have a sense of shame. Youre paying me a thousand and eight-hundred per month. Do you expect to buy my whole life with that little money? Luosang restrained her anger while saying, Two years ago, you told everyone in the film circle not to hire me. Now, I cant even use my family name, but you still wont leave me alone. You dont want me to get my graduation certificate. You think you can threaten me with Supervisor Yuans online series and my father, right? I have to remind you; dont go that far. I still care about Supervisor Yuan and his work because I have the conscience. If I find that I cant do this anymore, Ill give up on my own conscience. Ill wont be worrying about anything. I might be considered an awful daughter if you make my father spend the rest of his life in the prison, but he wouldnt me me. If he knows that I, his daughter, am living a life like this, hed certainly tell me to leave him. When you have nothing to threaten me with, you wont be able to make me do anything, not even with a knife. Dont think yourself as a king.


    Yi Jingxi gripped the coffee cup in his hand. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he was a little flustered.


    He remembered her as a gentle and kind young girl. When she looked at him, her eyes were always full of intense love. Even after what happened to her father, he believed she hated and loved him at the same time.


    But two years after that, he found that she had be much stronger, and that her eyes were so cold. Suddenly, he felt that he was losing control of her.


    He wanted to keep her around, but now, he began worrying that she might really leave if he pushed her too hard.


    As he remained silent, Luosang walked upstairs with the broom.


    Zhong Yi was doing her makeup. As Luosang came in, she only nced at her before continuing.


    Luosang began cleaning the bedroom silently. While doing that, she found two used condoms on the bedside.


    She paused, feeling terribly disgusted.


    That Clean it. Zhong Yi smiled and said, We were parted for a few days. Jingxi just missed me so much. Hes always been aggressive sexually.


    Luosang nearly threw up. She remembered that when Yi Jingxi was her boyfriend, he used to act like a decent man. Back then, he insisted that they could only have sex after they got married. Recalling all of this, Luosang felt that Yi Jingxi was a hypocritical man.


    She wondered why on earth did she fall in love with him at that time.


    Twice a night? You call that sexually aggressive? Youre so inexperienced, Luosang sneered.


    Zhong Yi paused briefly, then responded with, You make it sound like youre experienced. You didnt happen to meet a man who could do it seven times a night, did you?

 Chapter 118. Miss. Luo Sent Me A Message, Said that She Broke Your Jacket and Doesnt Know What to Do

    Chapter 118. Miss. Luo Sent Me A Message, Said that She Broke Your Jacket and Doesn''t Know What to Do


    Well, anyway, a man who can only do it twice a night really cant satisfy me. Thank you for taking him away, after saying that, Luosang quickly finished cleaning and headed back downstairs. While going downstairs, she began doubting if she had be as shameless as Nian Junting after spending some time with him recently.


    With that thought, she stuck out her tongue. After that, she nced down and suddenly saw Yi Jingxi standing by the entryway, holding a brown jacket.


    The look in her face changed as she angrily rushed down and yelled, Why did you touch my stuff!


    Its a mans jacket, Yi Jingxi held the jacket, sneered, Gi customized. Its worth a fortune. Xu Luosang, what kind of a man did hook up with? Or, are you nning to seduce someone?


    Youre sick. Give it back to me, Luosang reached out a hand to try grasping the jacket, Im done with you. So even if I want to be with someone, itll be none of your business!


    Yi Jingxi was so angry that even his heart was shaking. She used to love him so much. He couldnt imagine her loving another man. He knew that she was beautiful, and was afraid of losing her. However, he didnt want her to know that he still cared about her. That was why he used Zhong Yi to keep her around. On the one hand, he wanted her to suffer, on the other hand, he wanted to stimte her, to make her jealous. Because that was the only way for him to feel that she still loved him.


    He admitted that he was sick, but after falling in love with Luosang, he was no longer able to control himself.


    Now, as he realized that there might be another man around Luosang, he even wanted to kill that man. Its none of my business indeed, but I just dont want you to be happy.


    Yi Jingxi dodged Luosang, then grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the jacket broken.


    Luosang was so infuriated that even her eyes turned red. This jacket is worth tens of thousands at least. I need to return it to someone. How can I possibly afford it? Do you want me to die? She said.


    Yi Jingxi took a bank card out of his pocket, threw it on the table and said, Theres tens of thousands yuan. Give it to that man.


    Who wants your money? Luosang felt disgusted. She didnt want his money. Nian Junting definitely wouldnt want the money either, but he might be angry.


    Just let him be angry then, I have no fear, thought Luosang.


    Without my money, how are you gonna pay for the jacket? Yi Jingxi frowned. He surely knew that the owner of the jacket wouldnt care about tens of thousands yuan, but he worried that man might use the broken jacket as an excuse to get close to Luosang.


    Leave me alone, Luosang angrily red at him, then turned and left with the broom.


    Looking at the broken jacket and the band card, Yi Jingxi slowly clenched his fist.


    Was he annoying to her now?


    Did she have another man in her heart?


    Afternoon, Luosang apanied Zhongyi to the filming site again, so did Yi Jingxi. In the filming site, Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi were surrounded by all kinds of people.


    Luosang took the opportunity to text Lu KangMr. Lu, I need your help. I broke Mr. Nians jacket, what should I do?


    In Shengting Investment, Lu Kang read the message and knitted his brows. A whileter, he went to knock the door of his boss office. When finding his boss sitting in the leather armchair reading a book about horoscope, his mouth corners twitched slightly.


    Mr. Nian, Miss. Luo messaged me. She said that she broke your jacket, and doesnt know what to do, said Lu Kang.


    Why did she ask you? Nian Junting gave him a threatening nce with narrowed eyes and asked, Is she closer to you than to me?


    Lu Kang immediately had cold sweat oozing out of his back. How can that be possible? I think Miss. Luo is afraid that you might get angry. But, Ive thought about it, your jacket has a very good quality, so how could it be broken? I think, Miss. Luo might have done it on purpose.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting put down the book and said, Youve got a point there. Why do you think she did it then?

 Chapter 119. Nian Junting Was Going to the Seaside to Pick Her Up

    Chapter 119. Nian Junting Was Going to the Seaside to Pick Her Up


    That I dont know, Lu Kang stuttered.


    Nian Junting rubbed his chin and said, Maybe she found out the price of my jacket, so she broke it in order to sell herself to me to pay for it?


    Lu Kang didnt know what to say.


    That woman is getting more and more interesting. Give me her number, Nian Junting chuckled and said.


    Lu Kang gave him Luosangs number while trying to stop himself from rolling his eyes. Nian Junting swiveled in his chair and called Luosang. Soon, the call was answered. Hearing Luosangs voice from the phone, Nian Juntings ear itched a little, as he couldnt have thought her voice to sound so attractive through the phone.


    Who is it? she asked.


    Nian Junting. After giving her his name, he asked, I heard from Lu Kang that you broke my jacket? How could you? Do you know how much money that jacket cost me? A hundred and fifty thousand. Even if you wanted to sell yourself to me to pay for it, I dont think youd be worth the price.


    Im sorry, Im really sorry, I was careless, Luosang apologized. Can I pay you back bit by bit?


    Have you forgotten that I need to brown jacket for tomorrow? Nian Junting snorted and continued, How about this; you go shopping with me tonight. You need to buy me a new jacket.


    Luosang felt that her heart even stopped beating when she heard him. I only have about ten-thousand yuan! she said with a low voice.


    Dont worry, Ill make it lower than ten-thousand. Nian Junting showed arge smile and said, Then you can pay me the rest bit by bit.


    Luosang bit her little finger. She thought that Nian Junting wouldnt make her pay the rest, but she was wrong. She felt that she was foolish. If she knew this, she would have taken Yi Jingxis money.


    Its a deal then. Ill see you at six PM, said Nian Junting.


    Im at the seaside, so I may not be able to make it back at six, she said.


    So youre working at the seaside. What are you doing there? Are you a waitress in some seafood restaurant? he asked.


    No, theres a new movie filming here. Im doing odds and ends for the crew, Luosang didnt want Nian Junting to know too much about her life, or what happened between her, Yi Jingxi, and Zhong Yi. If he found out that she was Xu Zhengxuans daughter, he might despise her like the others.


    Nian Junting frowned. How could my girl friend sink to this kind of a lowly job? Its awful, he thought.


    Ille to the seaside to pick you up after work. Ill call you, he said.


    No you dont need to said Luosang.


    Its a deal. Bye, he said.


    Nian Junting sat silently for half a minute after ending the call with Luosang, then he called Xiao Si and said, You need you to drive my Bugatti Veyron back to thepany in two hours.


    Why do you suddenly want to drive a sports car? Xiao Si was surprised. Did you say that business sedans are enough for you?


    Em, the sports car is for my girlfriend, said Nian Junting proudly, And you have to stop borrowing cars from me. I need them myself.


    What? When did you get a girlfriend


    Before Xiao Si finished, Nian Junting hung up the phone.


    Lu Kang who stood aside looked at his bosss proud face, couldnt help but say, Mr. Nian, I dont think Miss. Luo has agreed to be your girlfriend, has she?


    Sooner orter. Nian Juntingfortably leaned against the back of his armchair, then nced at Lu Kang and responded with, Go book all the tables in the best beef noodle restaurant of Xia City.


    Lu Kang felt like vomiting blood. Are you sure you want to take the girl to a beef noodle restaurant with your sixty-million yuan limited edition sports car? He really wanted to ask his boss this question.


    By the seaside, in the filming crew, Luosang was gazing at her phone.


    Nian Junting wasing to the seaside to pick her up.


    Did she mishear?


    No, she didnt think so.


    This is bad, I cant let hime to the filming site.

 Chapter 120. You… How Can A Woman Say Something like That?

    Chapter 120. You�� How Can A Woman Say Something like That?


    What are you looking at? Didnt see that Zhong Yi is resting now? Go get her some water. Yi Jingxi who stood not far away from her found that Luosang was looking at her phone. Thinking that Luosang might be chatting with someone, he felt quite uneasy, so he shouted at her.


    Alright, Luosang came back to her senses, hurriedly took a bottle of water and sent it to Zhong Yi.


    Jingxi, dont be so mad, Zhong Yi took over the water, then said to Yi Jingxi with a soft voice, Since were here, why dont we have some seafood before going back?


    Yi Jingxi nced at Luosang. He remembered that she used to love sea whelks the most. Alright, he said. Luosang, go book a table in a nearby restaurant.


    Sure. Since you two are going for dinner, Ill be leaving when Miss. Zhong is done with the filming, Luosang nodded and said ndly.


    The look in Yi Jingxis face changed. Seeing that, Zhong Yi hurriedly said, Leaving? Im not leaving, how can you? You need to stay and peel prawns for me. And, this ce is far away from downtown. Without us, howre you gonna get back?


    I can call a ride, said Luosang.


    Youve been quite ruleless as an assistant, Yi Jingxi sneered and said, You waste in the morning, and now youre leaving early.


    Luosang frowned. She didnt want to start a fight, so she said, Can I ask for a leave? You two are going for a date, why do you need me to peel prawns? Mr. Yi, isnt that a boyfriends job? Besides, I dont wanna be a gooseberry.


    I dont do such things. Ive paid you, so you need to finish your work, Yi Jingxi said word by word.


    Alright, do you also need me to unwrap condoms for you while you two are doing your business in the bed? Luosang smiled and said.


    You How can a woman say something like that? Shame on you. Yi Jingxi was infuriated, as Luosang seemed to be so unwilling to stay with him.


    Stop arguing. Just let her leave, Zhong Yi smilingly put her hands around Yi JIngxis arm and said, But Luosang, tomorrow morning, you need toe early to cook breakfast for us.


    Em, Luosang hummed to respond. As long as Supervisor Yuans online series was aired, she would nevere to deal with Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi again.


    Five forty, Zhong Yi finished her part of filming. Luosang packed her things and prepared to leave. Yi Jingxi suddenly stood up from the chair and said, Im abruptly invited to a dinner party tonight. Lets not eat by the seaside. We should head back to the city.


    Zhong Yis smile froze on her face. After a while, she forced herself to smile again and nodded.


    We go together, Yi Jingxi coldly nced at Luosang and said, Dont bother to call a taxi.


    Im good, my ride is already on the way, after saying that, Luosang turned and left immediately. She didnt want to spend another second with those two people.


    Soon after she walked away, she heard some loud noise from behind. She turned back to see that Yi Jingxi kicked a chair far away. His handsome face was wearing an angry look, eyes fixed on her. He looked like a volcano which was about to erupt.


    Luosang didnt understand why. She remembered Yi Jingxi as a nice and gentle man, who rarely lose temper. It now seemed that he was pretending before. He was so emotional now, and was too hard to get along with. Luosang didnt know when did she offend him. Compared with him, the narcissistic Nian Junting was way better.


    Yi Jingxi stared at the quickly leaving Luosang. The anger in the bottom of his heart was conquered by an indescribable sadness.


    Before, she liked to follow him around. One single day without him would make herin. All she wanted was to spend more time with him. But now, it seemed that she only wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. Has she stopped loving him?


    Jing Xi Zhong Yi touched Yi Jingxis shoulder while struggling against her jealousy.


    Piss off! Yi Jingxi threw her hand off, and left without ncing back.

 Chapter 121. Youre out on a date with me; Dont you think Youre being too Casual?

    Chapter 121. You''re out on a date with me; Don''t you think You''re being too Casual?


    Not long after Luosang left the filming site, she got a call from Nian Junting.


    Wheres the filming site? Im almost at the beach.


    Theres a cabin by the seasidewait there. Ill be there in a minute.


    Nian Junting was a little unpleasant. He frowned and said, It sounds like you dont want me to go to the filming site.


    Im afraid that the people in the crew may think of you as my boyfriend, Luosang responded while running, trying to catch her breath. Besides Mr. Nian, youre such a famous and wealthy man. Im worried that your presence might create a stir. You see, the director mighte to talk with you and pour you tea, and itll slow down the filming work.


    Hmm that makes more sense, Nian Junting pondered while driving. Does she mean that if I want to go to the filming site, I need to admit that Im her boyfriend first?


    She never speaks frankly. Her words always have hidden meanings. If I wasnt so smart, I may not truly understand her.


    No wonder my mother always says that a woman will make things sound only thirty percent clear, because itll be boring if she says everything frankly and honestly. Thats how you make life interesting.


    Alright, Ill wait for you there, he said.


    After five minutes of running, Luosang saw a silver sports car slowly pull over by the cabin. When she got closer, she found that it was a shiny Bugatti Veyron.


    She walked to the car with hesitation. The car window slowly lowered, exposing the perfectly handsome face of Nian Junting. He was wearing a brown pair of sunsses with a blue leisure suit, which was brightly colored and elegant-looking.


    Against the sea in the background, he looked less proud and serious, but warmer and sunnier.


    Luosang widened her eyes and paused briefly when seeing him. A short whileter, she stuttered, Mr. Nian


    Nian Junting smiled and responded with, I am aware of how charming I am, but you dont need to stare at me.


    Hearing that, Luosang wanted to blind herself.


    Its just that I nearly failed to recognize you, she exined. Its the first time I have seen you wear sunsses. Mr. Nian, you look radiant today.


    Nian Junting adjusted his sunsses and said, Sister Lan picked and matched my clothes. I didnt want to disappoint her.


    Has Sister Lans taste be so great? Luosang asked with surprise.


    Do you want me to tell her that you think shes poor in taste? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, Get in. Im starving.


    Ah, alright, responded Luosang. While speaking, she took a step forward. After that, the car door opened automatically, and she sat in the car, feeling ttered.


    As Nian Juntings former carer, she felt that this car was way too luxurious for her.


    Look at you, sweating with disheveled hair. Youre out on a date with me. Dont you think that youre being too casual? Nian Junting looked at her up and down, then handed her a few tissues discontentedly.


    Luosang took the tissue, gave a start, then asked, Da-date?


    Thats an elegant way of speaking. In a rtively unpleasant way, were just meeting up. Nian Junting refused to admit that it was a date, because he didnt want Luosang to get proud.


    Look at your clothes. How long have you been wearing them? They look washed-out.


    Luosang chuckled, then raised her head and replied, Im so pretty that I can walk the red carpet in rags.


    The corners of Nian Juntings mouth twitched up slightly. Do you have any sense of shame? he asked.


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said, Ive learned this from you. I guess now you understand how Ive felt when listening to your narcissistic talks every day.

 Chapter 122. Ive Been Perfect Since Young

    Chapter 122. I''ve Been Perfect Since Young


    Can youpare yourself to me? Nian Junting remarked matter-of-factly as he started the car. Ive been perfect since I was young  impably perfect. You, on the other hand, are full of imperfections.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    Even with her level of confidence, she had decided against defending herself. If he really started picking out her ws, she might not be able to sit through the car ride without seething with anger. Regardless, she had secure her ride into the city.


    When Yi Jingxi appeared, the sports car had already peeled off into the distance. He fumbled to snap a picture of its side profile.


    He saw Luosang getting into that car.


    Whatever she said about riding a taxi here from the city, was all a lie.


    Yi Jingxi watched the car disappear with a heavy heart, his eyes downcast with a hint of sadness.


    He always knew that she was a rare beauty. Back when they were in university, boys were already lining up for her. With her looks and talent, there was never a shortage of suitors hot on her tails. He had spread the news about Xu Zhengxuan then with a selfish intention; he wanted her reputation driven to the ground. In the voice actingmunity, he had warned the key recruiters against employing her. He was going to bury her talent, her glow, with his own hands. It was the only way to keep her by his side, docile without other intentions. It was the only way to keep her admirers away.


    He never expected her to alienate herself from him because of that. Two years, she was gone from his life. When he found out a yearter that she was studying at the university, he kept himself updated even on small matters such as the number of love letters she received. He was sure that everything was under control even when she was away from him.


    Now, with this unexpected turn of events, he was thrown off. The driver of the sports car, the owner of the suit from earlier on, had shown up in her life.


    He must be someone of importance; his savvy ride was a testimony to his affluence.


    Yi Jingxi couldnt bear the thought of someone like that, someone as elite as he was being close to her. He wanted to tear him apart.


    His handsome features looked glum beneath the backdrop of the sunset. He then hurriedly sent the photo to his friend in Hawaii. Proceeding to call him, he asked, Kashiwa, can you help me run a background check on the car owner?


    Hold on, let me have a look. Kashiwa was quiet on the line before asking again, What do you need this for?


    Yi Jingxi was sharp to sense that his friend was on to something, You seem to know something.


    I recognize the car, no need to check. Its a Bugatti Veyron limited edition. Rolled out in April this year, it markets for 60 million dors and there are only three of them worldwide. Two of them are in this country, and the one at Xia City belongs to Nian Junting.


    Really? Yi Jingxi was in shock, Are you sure? You want to check again?


    No need; Ive seen the license te before. It belongs to the Nian family alright, something as showy as that.


    Yi Jingxis grip on his cell phone was firm, he was overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings.


    How did Luosang end up having anything to do with that man? Nian Junting was the epitome of the privileged lot; he could have anything under the sun. He had the kind of heritage that made even Yi Jingxi envious. What made him more ring in the spotlight, was the fact that he was highly sessful doing business.


    If he had his eyes set on Luosang


    But Nian Junting never drives the car. His friend, Xiao Si, is the one that takes it for a spin. Kashiwas words took a sudden turn. Im familiar with Xiao Si. In fact, he was the one that I contacted to get you through to Shengting Investment to meet Nian Junting. I see him driving that car often enough. Nian Junting gets driven around in his business sedan by his personal chauffeur. Hes hardly ever seen next to a sports car.


    Yi Jingxi furrowed his brows. Why did he spend money on a sports car then?

 Chapter 123. Ive been Keeping a Low Profile, so I Hardly Drive This Car

    Chapter 123. I''ve been Keeping a Low Profile, so I Hardly Drive This Car


    His mother gives it to him as a gift. He and Xiao Si are best friends. Not to mention, cars arent that big of a deal for them; theyve shared pants before.


    Yi Jingxis handsome face wore a grim look. He guessed that the one who was driving the car was Xiao Si. Yi Jingxi knew Xiao Si as he had dined with him twice. He knew that Xiao Si, too, was very good-looking, not much worse than himself, and he had heard that Xiao Xis family was wealthy as well.


    He was no better than Xiao Si.


    Alright, I get it. Dont tell Xiaosi about this. Yi Jingxi hung up the phone impatiently.


    Jingxi, I saw that. Suddenly, someone patted him on his back. He turned back to find Zhong Yi standing behind him.


    What do you want now? Yi Jingxi asked, his eyes showing coldness.


    That sports car looks expensive. I didnt think Luosang could hook up with someone like that. Zhong Yi was scared, but still, she said, But, I suppose that man is from a distinguished family. If he finds out about Luosangs family I guess no one will ept the fact that her father, as a principle, has harassed his student. Everyone knows about that story. I dont think any wealthy family would tolerate that.


    Yi Jingxi paused briefly, then gave her a cold smile and said, You are evil. Your bad ideas are exactly the reason why she lost her patience and left me.


    I did it for your own good. Back then, Luosang had so many pursuers in An City. If I didnt do that, she would be free to marry a rich guy from her dreams at any time. Zhong Yi bit her lips, then continued, You saw that limited edition sports car just now. That guy is not any worse than you. Perhaps, hes even better than you. A man like that could totally make Luosang a star and give her anything she wanted. He could even free her from you. Youve pushed her hard enough. If you dont do anything now, she will throw herself into that mans arms at any moment


    Shut up! Yi Jingxi gripped her throat and growled, Shes mine! Shes my fiance!


    You framed her father You sent Xu Zhengxuan to prison Zhong Yis face blushed as she squeezed a few words out of her mouth.


    Yi Jingxi pushed her away. His red eyes were filled with sadness and cruelness.


    Zhong Yi was right. Since the moment Xu Zhengxuan was put into prison, he and Luosang became enemies. They loved and hated each other.


    But what could he do? He couldnt bear watching her jump into another mans arms.


    It was the first time Luosang sat in such a luxurious car, so she couldnt help but look around with curiosity.


    Mr. Nian, why are you driving today? Wheres Lu Kang? she asked. And youre driving a sports car. Its the first time Ive seen you in a sports car.


    While driving, Nian Junting responded ndly, Em, Ive been keeping a low profile, so I hardly drive this car.


    Mr. Nian, I think you misunderstood the term keep a low profile.


    So whyre you driving it now? she asked.


    Dont misunderstand. Im not driving it for you. Nian Junting nced at her proudly.


    Once again, Luosang didnt know how to respond. Did I say anything? She didnt understand.


    The seaside was about seven miles away from the downtown area of Sea City. When Nian Junting and Luoyang arrived at the city, it was already seven pm. Luosang had a long day, and she had been starving since quite a while ago.


    Mr. Nian did you have dinner yet? she asked.


    No. Lets go have dinner first. I suppose youre hungry already, Nian Junting responded in a t tone.


    Luosang sighed with relief. She felt lucky for having something to eat. After all, she was so hungry.


    It was already dark. About ten minutester, the sports car pulled up before a tastefully decorated noodle restaurant.


    Nian Junting opened the car door and said, Get out of the car. Well eat here.


    Luosang hurriedly followed him out of the car, asking, Are we going to have noodles?


    Dont you like noodles? Nian Junting smiled, brows rising. He carelessly judged with his car key while saying, Dont you remember it? Last time, when you left Xia City, I told you that Id take you to the best noodle restaurant in Xia City. This is it.

 Chapter 124. He Could Already Picture Her Surprise

    Chapter 124. He Could Already Picture Her Surprise


    I cant believe you still remember, Mr. Nian, said Luosang, her eyes twinkling with gratitude.


    The subpar noodle bar we went to previously was the only reason why I remembered my promise. It was just such apelling memory, said Nian Junting, babbling on as he took big strides into the shop.


    With a short sigh, Luosang followed behind him, blocking out what he had just said. The restaurant was decorated prudently. Out of the all the noodle bars she had been to before, their furnishings topped it all. The shop also spick and span. I thought you said this restaurant had good noodles, Mr. Nian, howe its empty?


    I booked the entire ce, Nian Junting said, matter-of-factly. He sat himself down at a table and beckoned for the waiter. Two bowls of beef noodles please, with the best beef of course.


    Mr. Nian, did you have to book the entire ce just to get some noodles? Luosang propped herself opposite him, sounded displeased.


    Nian Junting crossed his arms in front of him. Of course, he said.


    There was no way he was going to becent on a first date, much less intruded upon by random strangers.


    Why?


    I just have too much money and too little things to spend on.


    Luosang was speechless. She had no good argument against that.


    She began to upy herself with her surroundings, carefully taking in the interior design. Then, she spotted a sign that read, Beef Noodles  1200 yuan.


    She was astonished. These noodles arent they a little expensive? she asked.


    Expensive? Nian Junting chuckled a little. The beef here is imported straight from Australia and Japan, fresh and pure-bred. The best part about the dish is the soup, brewed from various parts of the animal for over 12 hours under carefully controlled temperatures; a highlyplex and tedious process. Later, the master will knead the noodles into shape and cook it in front of us. The chef here had also gone viral on the inte recently.


    Luosang batted her eyes. Mr. Nian you bought the meal thest time we ate at a noodle bar, youre not expecting me to buy this meal, right? she asked.


    Of course, you must return the favor. Nian Junting looked at her expectantly.


    Luosang bit down on her lips and stood up. I cant afford this meal, she announced.


    Nian Juntings lips curled up into a smile, Im pulling your leg, sit down.


    Luosang breathed a sigh of relief. Ill buy you the same noodles next time when I earn lots of money, she said, as she tried to hide her embarrassment.


    No need. Nian Juntings arms were still crossed in front of him. I never let thedy treat me.


    He already thought it through; if she liked the ce, he would have Lu Kang buy the restaurant. Then, he would franchise it worldwide. He even thought of the name. He would call it Luo Ting Noodle Bar, a perfect engagement gift, if all worked well between them.


    What a perfect idea. He could already picture her surprise. Hopefully, she wouldnt be crying tears of delight.


    Meanwhile, Luosang was thinking of ways to repay his generosity. She thought she would let him pick out any suit he wantedter, even if it meant paying off credit card debts for a long time after.


    Five minutester, the master rolled out a cart equipped with all sorts of tools. He first put on the soup over the fire before he started his mian performance. The noodles were dancing in the air between his crafty hands, tossed forwards and backward, encircling around him and thrown in a rehearsed manner. It was a spectacle, and Luosang was awestruck. No wonder the noodles were so expensive.


    However, after seven or eight minutes into the performance, she blurted out, Sorry, could you hurry along? I am starving.


    You glutton, Nian Junting muttered under his breath as he nodded to the chef, signaling him to move along faster.


    Three minutester, the noodles were served. Luosang blew hard to cool the food down and gobbled down her meal.

 Chapter 125. The Whole Restaurant Will be Yours, Youll Have as Many noodles as You Like

    Chapter 125. The Whole Restaurant Will be Yours, You''ll Have as Many noodles as You Like


    Luosang was truly starving. She had worked hard for a whole day. During lunch, she was busy serving Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi, therefore she didnt really eat anything.


    Nian Junting silently watched her enjoy her noodles quite happily. Somehow, he felt that his appetite was bigger than usual.


    As same as he felt before, the food looked more delicious when she was around.


    Is it good? He asked.


    Yeah, its the best beef noodle I ever had. The soup is tasty, the beef is tender. I wonder how they made it. Its too expensive, or Ill have a bowl of this every single day, Luosang said after swallowing the food in her mouth with some efforts.


    Since she was little, her father had been telling her not to speak with food in her mouth, because that would make her look ungraceful.


    Nian Junting gave a bigger smile.


    This entire restaurant could be yours. Youll have as many noodles as you like, he thought.


    While eating, he took out his phone to message Lu Kang via WeChatBuy this noodle restaurant for me. Get me a business n about how to sessfully develop a noodle restaurant into a national chain tonight.


    Lu Kang was having dinner at home. His hand trembled slightly when he read Nian Juntings message. Hurriedly, he repliedMr. Nian, I thought you just went out to have some noodles. Howe you suddenly want it to be a national chain restaurant?


    He really didnt want to make that business n, because he would need to stay up all night for that. Couldnt Nian Junting wait until tomorrow?


    Mr. Nian replied in a secondAn outstanding man like me surely cant date a girl in any ordinary way. I need to get something meaningful and symbolistic to prove our love. I want everyone who knows us to think of our love story once they see any of the chain noodle restaurants. Dont you think its beautiful and romantic?


    Lu Kang honestly felt speechless.


    What the hell? Shes not even your girlfriend yet, and youve already started talking about your love story? Youre reading on B oxnovel.c om .Tks!


    Seeing that he had been looking at his phone, Luosang kindly reminded him, Mr. Nian, arent you going to eat your noodles? It wont taste too good when it cools down.


    Nian Junting ate some noodles, then said, Yesterday, you asked me about my star sign. Im a Leo.


    I see. Sometimes, youre a typical Leo, indeed, she said.


    Whats your star sign? he asked.


    Capricorn, she responded. Then, she waved a hand and continued, Enough about star signs. Where do you n to shopter? I suggest we go to Damao International. Its nearby, and that ce doesnt sell ridiculously expensive things.


    Nian Junting was a little speechless. If they werent gonna talk about star signs, why did he spend half ofst night reading a constetion book?


    After finishing the noodles, the two of them headed to Damao International.


    The menswear brands in the mall werent international top brands, but were in the second or third line. A jacket from this ce would cost thousands to tens of thousands yuan.


    It was an evening, and many people were in the shopping mall. Some young boys and girls were holding hands or had their arms around each others waists. Nian Junting looked around and found that none of the couples were better-looking than Luosang and himself. However, when looking at the young couples, he suddenly wanted to fall in love. He started believing that love would make people younger.


    Mr. Nian, how do you feel about this brand? Luosang stopped walking and pointed at the store beside her.


    Nian Junting nced at the brand logo, which waspletely strange to him. However, the suits worn by the few shop dummies in the window disy didnt look bad.


    He trusted Luosangs taste in menwear.


    Hmm, lets go inside and take a look, he said.


    Wee, the shop assistant friendly greeted them. After seeing the incredibly handsome Nian Junting, her eyes glowed brightly. Are you shopping for this gentleman? If you are, youll have many choices here. This gentlemans body shape is even better than our models.

 Chapter 126. Thanks for Buying Me Clothes, My Wife

    Chapter 126. Thanks for Buying Me Clothes, My Wife


    Nian Junting was sick of hearingpliments, after all, he grew up listening to ttery. He assessed the retail store and it looked like it offered a good variety, and saw there was a couple picking out clothes along one of its aisles. He signaled to Luosang and said, Help me pick.


    Luosang smiled as she spoke, We need a brown suit.


    Alright, give me a moment, said the salesperson. She quickly retrieved three sets of brown suits in different designs, and Luosang picked one out.


    Nian Junting emerged from the changing room in the $1000 suit; he looked elegant and posh.


    How nice, you look like a superstar. The salesperson was generous with herpliments.


    Nian Junting didnt pay any attention to her and walked straight to Luosang to ask, How is it?


    Dashing. Luosang nodded her head in approval.


    Nian Junting wasnt satisfied, Anything else youre going to add?


    Luosang looked at his coy expression and tightened her lips, Handsome, elegant, gentlemanly, put together  will that be good enough, Mr. Nian?


    Do I look that good in this suit? Nian Junting was checking himself out in the mirror now, Great, lets get this then, you can go get the check.


    Luosang was speechless but she walked towards the cashier anyway. As she was paying, she could hear a man telling his girlfriend, See, I told you a handsome man like him has a sugar mommy. She even takes care of his clothes.


    Nian Junting heard him too, and he looked somber as he stepped forward to put his arm around Luosang.


    Luosan flinched but before she could react, a deep husky whisper tickled her ears, Thanks for buying me clothes, my wife. Ill be d to hand over my sry card to you as always.


    Nian Luosan was frowning by now, but before she could say anything, a slender finger slid in front of her lips, shushing her.


    Come on, you dont have to get emotional. You are my wife and you deserve it. Its my duty anyway, you only need to give me a thousand dors for my allowance. Itll be enough to cover for gas money and I wont need to spend on anything else. Nian Juntings handsome face was stered with a charming smile, and his deep-set gaze could win an Oscar.


    Luosang didnt know what to say, it was just mindless chatter in her opinion. Did he really have to take it so seriously? She managed to sputter, Youre so good to me, hubby.


    The word hubby contained a touch of coyness.


    Nian Junting took a second to take it in, he loved how she enunciated the word, it was sweet like honey to him.


    He wondered what it would be like if they were in bed, with her arms wrapped around his neck.


    He was getting hot just thinking about it.


    Look at how well her husband treats her, the girlfriend looked on with envy and gripped onto her own husband tightly, He hands over his sry card and asks for an allowance. Thats apart from his handsome looks and toned body. Look at you! You cantpare even an inch to him. You have the cheek to say he has a sugar mummy? You should feel ashamed about yourself, you petty, jealous man. Lets go, I dont have the mood to buy anything for you now.


    The woman turned on her heels to leave.


    Hey, wait for me, honey! the man stared viciously at Nian Junting before going after his own wife.

 Chapter 127. Mr. Nian, Can You Take Your Hand Away from My Shoulder

    Chapter 127. Mr. Nian, Can You Take Your Hand Away from My Shoulder


    Nian Junting turned his eyes back and said to Luosang, You see, this kind of situation is exactly the reason why I dont like shopping. Because when a man is perfect on both the inside and outside, the people who are jealous of him always try to bring as much shame on him as possible.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    A whileter, she sighed lightly and said, Mr. Nian, Im gonna pay for the jacket. Can you please take your hand away from my shoulder?


    Nian Junting remained silent while staring at her pretty shoulder and his own hand. A whileter, he took his hand away.


    It was alright. He believed that hed be able to put his hand back on her shoulder soon enough.


    After buying the jacket, Luosang looked at the bnce on her phone and felt her heart ache. The jacket had cost her eight-thousand and eight-hundred yuan. She hadnt bought expensive clothes like this for a really long time.


    That evil Yi Jingxi. He took everything from me, yet it isnt enough for him. Does he want me to live on steam bread again?


    Nian Junting, who was much taller than Luosang, saw the number showing on her phone screen. He frowned and said, A twenty-two year old girl like you should be treated like a princess by your parents, but why did you do the carers job to make money?


    Luosang remained silent for a short while, then raised her head and responded, Mr. Nian, can I not answer the question?


    Alright, everyone has their secret sorrows. Nian Junting lowered his head. Even though she didnt want to tell him, he guessed that it was either because her family was poor or something else happened.


    He wouldnt try digging up her past without her permission, because that would be an invasion of privacy.


    However, he was very confident about his charm. He believed that in the near future, she would tell him everything.


    With his capabilities, he wouldnt let anything upset his girlfriend.


    With these thoughts, he looked down at his watch and found that it was only half-past eight, so he suggested, Lets go pick a few more suits.


    Mr. Nian, all your other clothes are customized and hand-made. I think the clothes here are too cheap for you. Theyre just not good enough for a man like you. Luosang was grateful that he didnt ask any more questions. But she was exhausted now, because she got up early this morning and had worked a whole day.


    asionally, I think I get closer to ordinary people, he said.


    Are you thinking of yourself as a royal? thought Luosang.


    However, instead of saying anything, she decided to let him do whatever he wanted.


    Afterward, Nian Junting picked ten suits. As he had bought quite a lot, the shop would pack the suits for him and deliver them to his house.


    Half-past nine, Nian Junting finished shopping and started driving Luosang back to her school with his sports car.


    The night was chilly. The breeze rolled up the fallen leaves. About ten minutester, the wind suddenly turned stronger, and the moon had hidden into the dark clouds.


    Luosang looked around, then told Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, I think its going to rain. Can you close the car roof please?


    Nian Juntings hands, which were holding the steering wheel, paused slightly. He nced down at the control panel, then said, I dont think so. The weather forecast didnt say that it was going to rain today. Ill just drive faster.


    As he pressed harder on the elerator, the sports car, which was worth tens of millions, zoomed forward.


    About five minutester, some raindrops fell on their faces.


    The weather forecast isnt always urate, said Luosang while covering her head with her hand. Just close the car roof.


    Alright, Nian Junting hit the breaks gently and pulled over by the roadside. Staring at the series of buttons on the control panel, he was a little confused. About half a minuteter, he pushed a ck button and heard a popping noise. Along with that noise, the car shook slightly, and the trunk opened.


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say.

 Chapter 128. He Looked Kind of Cute with His Hot Flushed Cheeks

    Chapter 128. He Looked Kind of Cute with His Hot Flushed Cheeks


    Luosang was a little shocked, and she asked, Um why did you open the trunk you dont know how to close the hood?


    Nian Juntings face froze and color rushed to his cheeks, This is only my second time driving this car, so Im not very familiar with its functions.


    I think its safe to say that you are very unfamiliar, Luosang burst into a giggle. He looked kind of cute with his hot flushed cheeks, it was rare to see him looking flustered.


    This was his first time getting ridiculed by a woman in his entire thirty years, and it was extremely embarrassing, Shut up!


    This was all Nian Xis fault for telling him that it was suave for a man to drive a sports car, for telling him that she would fall for him immediately after seeing him in an expensive ride. Who knew hed have such bad luck, driving into a rainy day. Xiao Si that little bastard! Why didnt he deliver the car with the hood on? He knew how bad he was with the buttons.


    Alright Ill shut up, but the rain is getting heavier, Luosangs face was already sttered with droplets. The weather seemed to be brewing a storm and there were no shelters around.


    Ill make a quick call to Xiao Si, Nian Junting assured her. He was left with no choice after all, but even then the calls went straight to his voicemail.


    He could strangle Xiao Si; what an unreliable chap.


    Grab an umbre from the back, Ill look at the buttons, Nian Junting was trying to improvise.


    Ok, hurry up. Luosang ran to the back and grabbed an umbre. There was only one so they had to share as she ran back to the passenger seat.


    Nian Junting wasnt having much luck. He tried many buttons but he just couldnt find the right one. The storm came upon them, and rain started to pour while the wind was battering against their faces and bodies.


    Along the road, cars were zipping by. A Volkswagen sedan stopped beside them and wound down its window. The rich are so interesting nowadays, ha-ha, driving a convertible with the umbre. Are they that afraid to go unnoticed? the driver remarked to his passengers.


    Nian Junting grimaced in annoyance.


    Forget it, the car is flooded with water, lets wait on the sides for Mr. Xiaos phone call, Luosang pleaded, she had already given up hope.


    Nian Junting finally looked up at her. By now her hair and clothes were drenched. His brows knitted together before he pulled her out of the car and held the umbre as they stood shoulder to shoulder by the road.


    The wind was strong and the rain was unrelenting but Luosang realized that she couldnt feel the droplets anymore. She looked over and she found that Nian Junting was mostly shielding her from the rain, his left arm was dripping wet.


    A flood of warmth rushed to her heart as she pushed the umbre towards him, Mr. Nian, you should cover yourself too.


    Ive been through worse in the army, this is nothing to me, Nian Junting replied coolly as he angled the umbre away from him again, This was all my fault anyway.


    Well I really didnt expect Mr. Nian to be so foreign to the functions of a sports car, you dont drive them often? Luosang was smiling.


    Personally, I think sports cars are too frivolous, I enjoy SUVs much more. Drove those almost exclusively back when I was in the military and I never gave up practicing in the States even after serving. Now that Im back, I am required to attend business dinners and alcohol is just part of those events so Im mostly driven around by my chauffeur now. Today its because Xiao Si was returning the car I lent him previously and thats why I had to drive it back myself, Nian Junting replied seriously.

 Chapter 129. Luosang Heard A Buzzing in Her Head. Why Did He Suddenly Kiss Her?

    Chapter 129. Luosang Heard A Buzzing in Her Head. Why Did He Suddenly Kiss Her?


    Ah, I see, Luosang nodded and said.


    Both of them suddenly fell into silence. Only the sounds of wind and rain could be heard.


    Luosangs clothes were wet. It made her feel cold. She rubbed her arms with her hands.


    Nian Junting nced at her, then at his own jacket. It was even wetter than her clothes. He wanted to give her his jacket, but that wouldnt be helpful. If he knew this, he wouldnt have let the store pack all the clothes that he just bought. He should have brought one of the clothes to the car so she could wear it.


    He pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her to his chest.


    His movement was very unexpected to Luosang. When she finally realized what had just happened, she was already in his arms, and her face pressed against his chest. His warm body made her face blush. She began struggling, saying, Whatre you doing? Let go of me!


    Dont move. Arent you cold? Im warm. And I can shelter you from the wind, Nian Junting said with a strong tone.


    Luosang couldnt calm down. They had hugged each other a few times before, but those were all idents. This time, things werent the same. Their clothes were wet, and their bodies were sticking close together. The coldness of her body and the warmth of his were like the positive and negative terminals of a battery that produced electric currents running through the both of them.


    He was a man, while she was a woman, so neither of them could pretend to feel nothing.


    Mr. Nian, Im not cold, Luosang tried to push him away. Were not boyfriend and girlfriend. Its inappropriate for us to hug like this.


    Do you want to be my girlfriend? Nian Junting looked down at her. She was wearing a white shirt and a denim jacket today. Her white shirt was soaked by the rain and was sticking to her chest, faintly revealing her beautiful body shape and ck bra.


    Shes so good at alluring people, he thought. ck and white with her wet body could even create an explosive visual impact.


    He then looked at her lips. Maybe because she was freezing, her lips werent as pink as usual, but were a little pale with raindrops on them. Her lips looked so beautiful, but so weak. It made him feel suffocated.


    A gust of wind blew across and made a lock of her hair stuck by her lips. She looked like an elf; innocent, but sexy.


    Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her. His throat squirmed slightly.


    Luosang didnt feel right. She hurriedly exined, I didnt mean that, I mean em


    He gave her a kiss, which was aggressive, strange to her, and had the smell of the rain.


    Luosang heard a buzzing in her head. Why did he suddenly kiss her?


    He bit her lips passionately, and soon, his tongue broke into her mouth, making it hard to breathe and made her shiver.


    Luosang felt dizzy. Being stimted by this kiss, she went on her tiptoes.


    She tried pushing him when she realized what was happening. But he held her even tighter and kissed her even harder. Her mouth was suffocated by his scent.


    It was a wild kiss  nothing like what she had when she was with Yi Jingxi. This kiss was scorching hot; not even the rain could cool it down.


    However, she didnt understand why would this happen.


    Feeling the obvious changes of his body, Luosang panicked. She pushed him away with all her strength.


    She was stronger than many of the other girls. After all, she used to carry him quite often. As she pushed him as hard as she could, the tall and strong Nian Junting was forced a few steps back. He bumped against the car door, and his umbre fell onto the ground.


    The heavy rain immediately wetted his hair, but also cooled his hot body down. He immediately calmed down and realized what he had just done.

 Chapter 130. Dont You Fancy Me? Lets Date Then

    Chapter 130. Don''t You Fancy Me? Let''s Date Then


    He never made mistakes like this, but he was at the age where he had strong desires and this woman in front of him was too seductive. He couldnt help himself.


    He had to take responsibility for what he had done.


    She liked him, and he reciprocated her feelings. They were of a suitable age, so it was worth a shot.


    The only regret was the downcast weather, making the situation a lot less romantic then he had hoped, almost kind of pathetic. But he still thought it would be good to confirm their rtionship then It would be an unforgettable experience, no doubt.


    He lips quivered but Luosang interjected before he could vocalize his thoughts, This is too much Mr. Nian, who do you take me for? She was fuming as she busied herself wiping her lips.


    Recalling what he had done, forcing himself onto her, she was angry and embarrassed. How dare you kiss me like that!


    Come on, I know how you feel, Nian Junting picked up the umbre to shelter her, Ill take responsibility for kissing you.


    Luosang was taken aback, responsibility?


    Yup, dont you fancy me? Lets date then, will you happy with that? Nian Juntings strong sense of self-assurance cracked Luosang up as she broke into a chuckle.


    Who said that I fancied you? Im telling you now that I dont like you that way, she wiped the rainwater off her face and continued, I dont want to date you, Mr. Nian, I hope you dont get the wrong idea.


    I already told you that Ill date you, what more do you want? Enough with ying hard to get, Nian Junting was looking very grave. She should be jumping into his embrace by now, coupled with a passionate smooch.


    Look, Im not ying hard to get, Luosang thought she had already made things clear enough.


    She tried to rify herself again, Mr. Nian, I admitted to liking you only because you assumed that I wanted some sort of rtionship with you. Youre my boss and Im your subordinate, so I didnt want to make you look bad. I didnt want to stay as a trantor because I wanted to further my studies. If I was frank with you then, you would have questioned my age and hence, I chose to admit to having feelings for you. I did what I had to do to avoidplicating matters. You are not my type and Ive never thought of you as anything more. Really, I swear.


    Nian Junting looked at her in shock, and then he looked doubtful, Thats impossible, stop lying to yourself.


    Luosang thought the whole situation was ridiculous, Mr. Nian, you do know that narcissism is an illness, right? Maybe you should get it checked out.


    Im not ill, theres nothing not to like about me. I know! Do you find my background too intimidating? Does it cause an inferiorityplex, or perhaps, a feeling of unworthiness? Nian Juntings face was turning dark with worry.


    Luosang was frustrated, Mr. Nian, I know that you are rich and sessful. Not to mention, extremely handsome and kind to me. But it takes feelings to like someone, I just dont see you that way and I dont harbor any feelings like that for you. If I like someone, Ill court them myself, I wont y hard to get, thats just not my style.


    Nian Junting had his eyes locked on hers, her pupils were calm and earnest, she didnt seem to be joking around


    She really didnt fancy me that way?


    It was all my own delusions?


    All these days of internal struggle were all for nothing?


    Nian Junting thought to himself.

 Chapter 131. If You Say that You Really Dont Like Me, I Wont Offer You Another Chance

    Chapter 131. If You Say that You Really Don''t Like Me, I Won''t Offer You Another Chance


    Luosang, Im giving you onest chance. Nian Junting turned around with a serious look and said, If you say that you really dont like me, I wont offer you another chance.


    Luosang sighed with a bitter smile and said, Mr. Nian, I meant what I said


    Boom!


    Nian Junting threw away the umbre in his hand and turned to get in the car. After that, he mmed the car door, pressed the elerator, and drove the car away.


    Watching that, Luosang blinked guiltily.


    She began to wonder if her words were too straightforward. She worried that what she said might hurt his self-esteem, as he was such a proud person.


    But he kissed her without her permission, and said that he wanted to be with her because she liked him first. She wasnt happy about that, so she said the words.


    Now, she wished she had said it more euphemistically. After all, he was actually a nice person, and had helped her quite a few times


    While thinking, she picked the umbre up. She considered herself lucky because Nian Junting didnt break the umbre just now. She was in the middle of nowhere, and the rain was heavy. No taxi could be seen around the area, so she didnt even know how she could get back to town.


    At that moment, following an engine sound, Nian Juntings car turned back around and stopped before her.


    The dripping wet Nian Junting sat in the car and stared at her with an icy cold look while saying, Hurry up and get in. I asked you out, so Ill send you back.


    Luosang paused slightly. She really didnt expect him toe back because he was too proud. Eh Mr. Nian, you wont drive me to a further ce, will you? she said.


    What kind of a man do you think I am? Im telling you, a gentleman would never leave a woman in the middle of the road alone. While speaking, he got out of the car and pushed her into the car.


    Luosang didnt respond. In fact, she was going to tell him that she didnt want to ride in his car, because it was raining cats and dogs, and his car roof was down. If he drove fast, the raindrops would hit her face and cause some serious pain.


    However, she didnt reject his kindness, because she was afraid that if she did, he would be infuriated.


    Fortunately, Nian Juntings phone rang at that moment. Xiao Si called him back.


    Tingting, whats going on? Have you been enjoying the date? I think its raining out there


    Cut the crap. Tell me how to close the car roof, said Nian Junting, word by word, through clenched teeth.


    Youre a jerk. I was embarrassed because you wouldnt answer the phone. If I didnt need you to keep mepany in my boring life, Id send you to Africa, he cursed Xiao Si silently.


    On the other side of the phone, Xiao Si remained silent for a short while, then burst intoughter. My God, youre not dating in the rain because you dont know how to close the car roof, are you? Tingting, Imughing my ass off


    Okay, were nning on doing some exploitation in Africa next year. You should go over there to make a market investigation first


    Alright, alright, Ill tell you. Xiao Si hurriedly told him which button to press.


    After closing the car roof, Nian Junting hung up the phone immediately.


    Finally, the two people in the car were sheltered from the wind and the rain. Luosang roughly wiped the interior of the car with a towel.


    Nian Junting was pulling a long face. He didnt say anything but turned on the heat and drove faster.


    Luosang didnt speak either. After wiping the car, she took off her hairband and let her hair down. Then, she tilted her head slightly and began wringing her hair.


    The car stopped at a red light. Nian Junting silently nced at Luosang, who was beside him. He saw her snow-white neck and her wet hair sticking to her cheek, making her look enchanting.

 Chapter 132. How Do You Look So Sexy Drenched from the Rain

    Chapter 132. How Do You Look So Sexy Drenched from the Rain


    He tensed a little and he cursed in his mind.


    Darn it, how do you look so sexy drenched from the rain, dont most women just look haggard?


    Originally he thought that shed be in his arms by now.


    But she didnt like him that way.


    That was such an infuriating thought, and he had to force himself not to think about it.


    By the time they reached the school gates, the rain had gotten lighter, but the entrance was still deserted and empty.


    Luosang was going to make a dash for it, but Nian Junting grabbed her by her arm, Take the umbre.


    She was caught off guard and blushed a little at the physical contact, I havent even gotten the chance to return your umbre from the previous time, now Im taking another one


    Not to mention, his umbres were expensive so she felt particrly bad especially after what happened earlier on.


    Take it please, it makes me angry just looking at it, Nian Junting expressionlessly threw it at her.


    Its ok, the rain has gotten a lot lighter, I can make it, Luosang felt uneasy and the atmosphere was awkward. She left the umbre on the car seat as she quickly sprinted into the mist.


    Nian Junting watched her disappear into the night before he mmed down on the steering wheel.


    If there were any doubts from before, he was now eight percent sure that this woman didnt like him that way. She didnt even want to take the umbre, drawing clear distinctions between them.


    It was the first time in his life he was stuck in a ditch because of rtionship problems.


    This woman had no taste, no taste at all.


    Luosang ran for five minutes before she finally slowed down, sure that she was a good distance away from the gate.


    By now, the rain had slowed into a light drizzle. Raindrops were rolling down her face.


    She recalled how Nian Junting looked before she left him, now that she had the mind space to think, his dark pupils were filled with surprise, fury, and hurt


    He was gentlemanly to the end, she had to admit, insisting that she take the umbre.


    Ay she sighed as she brought her fingers to her lips. He had kissed her too hard, it was still sore and she wondered if he cut her lips.


    Ahead, an upright figure stood beneath the streetmp with an umbre in hand, he looked bright and handsome even under the heavy fog, Its sote, where did you go?


    She collected herself promptly. There was a time when she was studying in An City where he would also wait out like this for her whenever she got backte from studying at the library.


    The two of them walked past one light and another, hand in hand, desperate for time to freeze then and there. They didnt want to leave each other, and they didnt want to go home.


    Who were you out with? Yi Jingxi approached her with the umbre, his pants were damp from the rain.


    She wondered how long he had been waiting.


    She was suddenly jolted awake. This was Xia City. He was no longer her fianc, he was Zhong Yis boyfriend.


    Luosang stepped away from him, not wanting to waste another minute with him, I dont think I need to ount for who I was with to you.


    Stop there, Yi Jingxi grabbed her wrist firmly. At close proximity, he could tell how red her lips were, they look freshly kissed.


    He chest felt tight and his stomach knotted as he winced from the thought, Who kissed you?


    His handsome features were clouded with jealousy.

 Chapter 133. Youre Jealous, so You Want to Find a Man to Stimulate Me, Right?

    Chapter 133. You''re Jealous, so You Want to Find a Man to Stimte Me, Right?


    His handsome face showed viciousness and jealousy.


    No wonder you were in such a hassle to leave. You were going on a date. Yi Jingxi dragged her over and rubbed her lips with his fingers. What? You saw me with Zhong Yi, so youre jealous. You want to find a man to simte me, right?


    Psycho! Luosang trembled because of anger. She didnt understand why she kept dealing with men who believed so much in their own imaginations tonight.


    Nian Junting, she could understand, but why the hell would Yi Jingxi think that way?


    She had nothing to do with him anymore.


    Let go of me, Yi Jingxi. Are you insane? You dumped me. I can be with anyone I want, and its none of your business. She angrily tried to push him away but failed. So she bit the back of his hand and didnt loosen her teeth until he started bleeding.


    Who said I dumped you? Yi Jingxi looked at the wound on the back of his hand, feeling all of his internal organs ache. She really didnt show any mercy when biting him. I dont think our engagement has ever been broken.


    Luosangughed. You are sleeping with Zhong Yi. Youre doing whatever you can to help her build her career. Didnt you dump me? And now youre mentioning our engagement? Arent you ashamed?


    Yeah, I am with Zhong Yi, but I never broke up with you or canceled our engagement. Yi Jingxi stared at Luosang and said, You have always been mine. You are free to leave only after I told you that I dont want you anymore. I am warning you, stay away from other men. I forbid you to date anyone else, or youll be in trouble. Im not kidding.


    Hearing that, Luosang was shocked. She had never seen anyone as shameless as him.


    Yi Jingxi, youre a president of apany now. Do you have any sense of shame? Dont you have a heart? Really, if you stay loyal to Zhong Yi, Id think that you werent an entirely awful person. But now, Ive found out that I truly cant overestimate you anymore. Just leave; youre so dirty in my eyes that I dont even want to say one more word to you. You were so gentle and kind, but I really dont understand how you became like this. Go look in the mirror. Youre pretty on the outside, but rotten on the inside.


    After saying that, Luosang covered her eyes with trembling hands. Still, her tears flew out from between her fingers.


    She cried, not because she still loved him, but because of herself.


    The past two years, she had been alone, living a bitter life. She wanted to cry all the time but didnt let herself.


    Now, this man in front of her had cruelly torn her puppy love, which used to be sweet and beautiful, into pieces. She wouldnt miss it anymore; not even a little bit.


    She felt so regretful. She hated herself for falling in love with this man because her wrong choice had ruined her family.


    Why did I be like this? Because of your family. And, Im telling you, this is me, the real me. Yi Jingxi felt a dull pain from his heart. He took a step forward and gripped her shoulders to shake her while yelling, Your family owes me! Youre gonna pay me back with yourself, with your whole life


    Luosang was really tired these days. She needed to study, work, and review her lessons at night. And, she was just caught in the rain. Being shaken by Yi Jingxi, she got badly dizzied.


    Who are you? Yan Su showed up behind Yi Jingxi and hit his head with her bag.


    He shambled two steps backward, while Yan Su grabbed Luosangs hand and ran away with her.


    Only until they ran into the dorm building did they stop.


    Whos that man? Eh? What happened to your lips? Theyre covered in blood, Yan Su hurriedly took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Luosang.


    I just bit that guy. The exhausted Luosang wiped the blood on her mouth, then gave Yan Su a bitter smile and said, Thank you.

 Chapter 134. How Could She Not Fancy Someone as Perfect as He Is?

    Chapter 134. How Could She Not Fancy Someone as Perfect as He Is?


    Who knows what would have happened if Yan Su didnt appear tonight, Luosang thought to herself.


    Count yourself lucky for bumping into me like that. I just got off from work, Yan Su said. Judging by his attire, he must be someone of importance. How did you get yourself involved with him?


    He is my ex-boyfriend Luosang replied with a grimace, We broke up long ago and he is currently seeing someone else. He just appeared out of nowhere today. I have no intentions of seeing him again.


    Yan Su frowned, He looks a little crazy to me. Hes the scumbag you were dating? Hang on, I thought you went out to buy clothes for Mr. Nian today, why are you drenched like a sad puppy? Didnt he offer you an umbre?


    Dont talk about it, Luosang looked away, Its a dreadful day. He mistook mypassion for romantic affection and kissed me on the lips. I refused him and it felt too awkward to ept his umbre. We shouldnt be keeping in touch anymore.


    My god, what a night, Yan Su couldnt help but add on, Hes quite a gentleman, isnt he? Maybe you shouldnt have rejected him so hastily. You could have given it a shot. Seriously, dating someone like him would surely catapult your career to greater heights. Youre still looking for a voice acting studio to work at, arent you?


    I dont want to mix my personal rtionships with work. After all, Im dating with marriage in mind, so Im looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with. Even if I gave him a shot, theres no way we end well because wee from different worlds, Luosang was shaking her head knowingly.


    Her father was a criminal whomitted felony while Nian Junting was part of an influential family of politicians and military men. She wasnt the kind of connection that they would want to make, and it would only damage their reputation if she became part of the equation.


    Yan Su was quiet too. She heard about Nian Juntings background from Ye Chuan. It would be a hefty burden to date someone like him.


    At the Tianhu Vi.


    Nian Junting rammed his foot hard against the elerator. When he arrived at the vi, he got out of the car, mmed the door, and angrily marched into the vi.


    Hey Tingting, how did your date go? Are you kidding me, why are you soaked? Xiao Si asked as Nian Junting barged through the doors. He was ying with his phone when he heard Nian Junting enter and couldnt contain hisughter. Nian Junting quickly shut him up with an icy re.


    Xiao Si stammered, Eh didnt you tell me that you were going on a date with your girlfriend-to-be this afternoon? I was so happy for you, and I came over as soon as I could to congratte you! Ive been waiting for three hours.


    Nian Junting didnt break his re, and he resented Xiao Si for not picking up his phone which caused Luosang and him to be under the mercy of the terrible storm. If only he picked up the call, then Nian Junting wouldnt have ended up sharing an umbre with Luosang, then kissing her uncontrobly, and making a mess of everything.


    This is all Xiao Sis fault, Nian Junting thought to himself.


    He was puffing in anger as he stomped upstairs.


    Xiao Si followed behind him anxiously only to have the bedroom door mmed in his face followed by a click of the lock.


    Nian Junting was furious and uneasy.


    After undressing, he walked into the bathroom to stand in front of the mirror. Looking at his own reflection, he admired his bronzed skin, defined abs, and sculpted physique. No matter how busy his schedule was, he neverpromised on fitness. His face was also well-proportioned, with a masculine jaw and healthy-looking hair. He was wless.


    How could she not fancy someone as perfect as he is? he thought to himself. He was perfect even when drenched from the head to toe.

 Chapter 135. You cant want to be with her only Because shes able to make your body React

    Chapter 135. You can''t want to be with her only Because she''s able to make your body React


    Nian Junting just couldnt understand. He took a quick shower, then wrapped himself with a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.


    Tingting, wheres your girlfriend? Xiao Si hadnt left. Hearing the noise from the bathroom, he hurriedly walked over with a big smile, and asked, Who is it? Why have I never heard you mention her before? I came all the way here through the pouring rain to meet her. Youre dripping wet, so I guess she is too. You should take the opportunity to bring her back here, and when she changes her clothes hehe, you two would be like a zing fire and dry wood. I mean, you can make things happen.


    Nian Junting turned his cold eyes to Xiao Si. If he didnt want to ask Xiao Si about something, he would have kicked him out. Do you think Im as horny as you are? he said.


    Xiao Si chuckled. He didnt believe his words.


    Xiao Si believed that the people who look serious on the outside could be wild on the inside.


    Nian Junting took two circles around the room, then suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist. He stared at Xiao Si and asked, Look at me carefully; am I perfect?


    Xiao Si didnt know what to say.


    You, too, think that I am perfect, right? While he was speaking, the veins on Nian Juntings forehead suddenly began beating. I am so perfect, but she refused me. She said that she doesnt like me in that way. Thats ridiculous.


    The corners of Xiao Sis mouth twitched slightly. He didnt say anything, but somehow he considered admitting that Nian Junting was, indeed, perfect.


    Eh Who refused you? Even I felt like admiring her said Xiao Si.


    Admire what? I think shes foolish. Nian Junting turned to sit on the couch. Even while sitting, he still looked so high above the masses, his cold face showing anger. I thought a lot on my way back. Now, Ive calmed down, and Ive thought carefully. I really dont think she has a reason not to like me. Do you think she could be a lesbian?


    Xiao Si burst intoughter.


    Is this funny? Nian Junting threw an icy cold nce at him while speaking. Even you, who often make mistakes and has collected a bunch of nasty magazines and discs, has many female pursuers. I am ahead of you by over a thousand points in the ranking list of charming men in ourpany. Am I not perfect?


    Xiao Si clenched his teeth. Do you have to depreciate me to make yourself more perfect?


    Youre reading on ReadReadReadNovelFull. Thanks!


    People dont always want their other half to be perfect. Sometimes, its about a kind of feeling.


    Feeling? Nian Junting gave a proud smile and responded with, With me, shell surely feel excellent. But if she really likes women, I wont be able to do anything about it.


    Xiao Si wanted to cry for that women.


    Tingting, who on earth are you talking about? he asked. Have I met her?


    You have. Shes Luosang.


    Sister Luosang Xiao Si was so surprised that he couldnt even close his mouth, You take a fancy to her? My God, Tingting, she is capable indeed, but you cant want to be with her only because she can make your body react. Shes too old, and shes not pretty.


    She has had many sessful stic surgeries, so she is beautiful now. And she lied to us. Shes actually twenty-two. Shes a student at Ximei.


    Xiao Si nodded, responded with, If you think shes pretty, she must be really pretty. I truly want to see her. Can you take me to see her?


    No. Nian Junting coldly turned his face away.


    Its nothing but pursuing a girl. It wont be a big deal if you fail


    Who says Im pursuing her? I thought she wanted to be my girlfriend, so I agreed after deep consideration, Nian Junting interrupted Xiao Si, firmly denying that he was rejected.

 Chapter 136. You have feelings for her, dont you?

    Chapter 136. You have feelings for her, don''t you?


    Come on, dont be a bad sport. Youve turned down so many women who have expressed an interest in you, but Luosang I know you well. You have feelings for her, dont you? Although I havent had the chance to interact properly with her, I can tell that shes not homosexual. Sometimes, its not all about your talent or your family background, you know? Women like romantic men, Xiao Si chuckled.


    Nian Junting protested, How am I not romantic enough? I booked the entire restaurant just to have beef noodles with her


    Well, beef noodles are beef noodles. You need somebination of steak and wine to be a true romantic. Besides, you didnt buy her anything, did you? At the end, your date even ended up drenched in the rain. What a downer. My main point is, well, you are way too abrasive and blunt. I dont hold it against you, and none of your subordinates at thepany will either, but you should treat ady differently. You have to coddle andpliment her frequently, exined Xiao Si.


    These are things that desperate men do to chase women when they have difficulty charming them with their personality. Im used todies throwing themselves at me. After all, I am really perfect, Nian Junting said.


    Youre talking as if you did manage to charm her, Xiao Si thought to himself.


    You can wait for women to throw themselves at you then, Xiao Si rolled his eyes.


    Im not attracted to any of those women, Nian Junting rubbed his forehead as he recalled the kiss in the rain. It was a heart fluttering moment and he wished that he could continue kissing her forever. How can you be sure that shes not homosexual?


    Based on my instincts. Also, she paused for a good second when she first saw me which shows her primal instinct. She showed appreciation for a good-looking man, so I can be certain that she likes men that way, Xiao Si said.


    Nian Junting looked even more grim now.


    She paused when she saw you? Nian Junting stood up abruptly and broke into a smile, I understand now! She has poor taste, and thats why she turned me down. I think I better give her another chance.


    Must he say such nasty things? Im trying to help him out here. I really want to throw a shoe in his face, Xiao Si thought to himself.


    Enough, its gettingte. Go home. I dont want people to gossip about our sexual orientation, Nian Junting dismissed him with a wave and then threw the car keys at him. Take the sports car, I dont think its suitable for me.


    A smile was creeping up on Xiao Sis face. Nian Junting had told him that a few days ago. What a quick change of heart. Tingting, a word of advice on ount of our brotherhood; always coddle and coax a woman. If you butter her up with honeyed words, shell be yours in no time.


    Nian Junting sat quietly as he thought about the whole conversation after Xiao Si left, and twenty minutester, he called Lu Kang.


    Get me a couple of reference books on words of affection, as soon as possible, he said.


    Lu Kang was silent on his end of the phone for a while, and then he whined, Mr. Nian, I thought you asked me to prepare a proposal for the noodle bar franchise. Which task should Iplete first?


    The books of course! Who am I going to gift the noodle bar to if I dont have the dating guides. Hurry along, and dont tell anyone about this, Nian Junting hung up quickly.


    Later, he wondered if Luosang was alright after being drenched in the rain today.


    He picked up his phone and dialed Lu Kangs number again, Buy some cough and flu mixtures to deliver to Yan Su at the college. She might have caught a cold from tonights storm.


    Lu Kang was bewildered, Mr. Nian, didnt you just decide to start a romantic rtionship with Miss Luosang? Why are you hitting on Yan Su now?

 Chapter 137

    Chapter 137


    Itll be embarrassing for me to give the meds to Luosang directly. Send them to Yan Su, and she can take some if she ever catch a cold. Luosang and her are roommates anyway.


    Lu Kang felt a little speechless about howplicated the whole thing was. Didnt you ask me to buy you some books about sweet talk? he asked.


    Send the medicines to Yan Su first, then go buy the books for me, responded Nian Junting.


    It was eleven oclock at night. Luosang took a shower, thenid in bed, reading a book. A whileter, she sneezed a few times in a row, and felt a little heavy-headed.


    Only Yan Su and Luosang were in the dorm tonight. Hearing her sneeze a few times, Yan Su asked, Do you have a cold?


    Ive really had a miserable day. Luosang gave a bitter smile.


    Yan Su wanted to say something, but her phone suddenly rang. It was Lu Kang calling. She didnt want to answer the call, but thinking of the rtionship between Nian Junting and Luosang, she still answered it.


    Yan Su, Im downstairs. Ive brought you some medicine for treating a cold, said Lu Kang with a soft voice.


    Cold? Yan Su didnt understand. I dont have a cold.


    Mr. Nian asked me to send them to you. He said it would be embarrassing to send the medicine directly to Luosang, so he asked me to send them to you, and that if Luosang caught a cold, she should take some anyway. Lu Kang doubted that his boss could ever get a girlfriend without help, so he decided to lend a hand. Dont tell Mr. Nian about what I said. Hed kill me.


    Alright, Iming downstairs now, Yan Su chuckled and said. Then, she hung up the phone and said to Luosang, Im going downstairs.


    Ten minutester, Luosang saw Yan Suing back with arge bag of medicine for a cold. Who gave you all these medicines? Im so jealous. Give me some now. Im worried that I might get a fever tomorrow and wont be able to study.


    Well, these arent for me, said Yan Su smilingly, Someone wanted to give these medicines to you through me. He felt that giving these directly to you is too embarrassing.


    Luosang blinked.


    Lu Kang sent them to me. Ah, its sote at night, but his boss forced him to send me some cold medicine. Well, I wasnt caught in the rain; why did he send medicine to me? While speaking, Yan Su opened the stic bag and said, See, all sorts of meds for fever, cough, running nose Youll find what you need here.


    Luosang gave a start while hearing Yan Sus words.


    In her mind, she saw Nian Juntings proud face. For some reason, she wanted tough, and her heart was warmed.


    She didnt feel strange about Nian Junting doing this at all.


    However, she was surprised as that a man with that low of EQ actually thought that she might catch a cold and sent her medicine. She thought he would never want to talk to her again.


    Here  find the meds you need, Yan Su said after she threw the bag of medicines to Luosang.


    Luosang took a med with water. The medicine was bitter. However, looking at the moon in the sky, Luosang sensed some faint sweetness from her heart.


    The next morning, when Luosang woke up, her nose wasnt stuffy, and her head didnt ache either.


    When she was having breakfast with Yan Su in the canteen, thetter smilingly looked at her and said, You look nice. The meds seem to be quite effective.


    Em, Ive always been healthy and have rarely caught a cold. While speaking, Luosang lowered her head, and stirred her porridge, as if absorbed her in thoughts. Do you think I should say thank you to Nian Junting?


    Why? Lu Kang said that we cant even let Nian Junting know, or hed feel embarrassed. After saying that, Yan Su got a call from Lu Kang.


    Su, did you take the medicinest night? Lu Kang asked that question, then coughed loudly.


    Yan Su felt strange, but soon figured it out. I didnt, she responded, But Luo caught a cold, so I gave the meds to her. The meds are good. Her cold is gone.<ul><li><i></i>


    Looks like Lu Kang and Yan Su goona be the driver in Luosang and Juntings love journey.  Because these two silly idiots doesnt understand their true feelings themselves.</li><li><i></i>


    And now, we have the two best sidekicks ever </li><li><i></i>Hahaha Lol, best ever support for the two uing lovebirds. </li></ul>VIEW ALL COMMENTSRate this chapterVote with Power Stone


    Hmm, Im just checking to be sure, you can go ahead with your work. Yan Su was amused after she hung up, Lu Kang just called me and sounded weird. I am guessing that hes calling on behalf of someone to check if youre well.


    Yeah, right. You and your imagination, Luosang smiled.


    Dont you understand? Even with that incident at the cinema, Mr. Nian was using Lu Kang to woo me as an opportunity toe see you. It didnt strike me then, but Im pretty sure now after the call, insisted Yan Su.


    Luosang bit her lip. She thought the same.


    Yan Su continued, I have a good impression of him, that man. Youve made quite a dent in his ego but he still insisted on sending you home, and now hes sending flu medications and checking up on you. He was such a gentleman at that time at the premiere too. If you end up with him, hell surely protect you do you not feel anything at all for him?


    Luosang was chewing on her chopsticks, and her cheeks flushed.


    Well, the answer would be no. There was something, but she couldnt ascertain what kind of feeling it was. When she dated Yi Jingxi, he was gentle and romantic, and answered to her every need. Being with Nian Junting however, she was often the subject of his blunt banter. Sometimes she was amused, but other times his words stung.


    She did find his straightforward ways an endearing trait. After all, Yi Jingxi ended up betraying her. Nian Junting wasnt someone who would conceal his true self in front of her, and he wasnt a hypocrite. Although he was narcissistic and abrasive with his words, he would always remain true, gentlemanly too.


    Well see. Its not my dating season now, and I should be focused on my studies. Hurry up, I have to go to ss soon, Luosang said.


    I also have to focus on getting away from Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi, Luosang thought to herself.


    At Shengting Corporation, Lu Kang looked nervously at Nian Junting who was staring at him.


    He hade over and pressured him to call Yan Su in the morning. He wanted to find out how Luosang was doing, and he even had Lu Kang put the call on speaker mode. Thank goodness Yan Su was smart and didnt let up the fact that he had sold Mr. Nian outst night.


    You heard her, Mr. Nian, Luosang is feeling much better. Nian Junting was twirling his pen in his fingers, he had heard Lu Kang address Yan Su as Susu.


    Good for him. His rtionship is going more smoothly than mine. I havent even addressed Luosang as Luoluo yet, Nian Junting thought to himself. Hmm, Luoluo sounds nice and intimate, not bad.


    Nian Junting asked, Oh right, where are the books I wanted?


    They will be delivered by noon today, replied Lu Kang.


    Alright, I dont have much for you today. Dont disturb me if theres nothing urgent. I will be reading in the afternoon, Nian Junting instructed his subordinate seriously.


    Lu Kang sighed, his boss was having a rough time with his love life. He was resorting to reading self-help books and guides. First about horoscopes, and now aboutmunication.


    What about Miss Luo? Lu Kang tried to inquire.


    Nian Junting said, I heard shes running errands for a production team by the beach. Maybe you can go investigate around that. Arrange a meeting with the main producer while youre at it too.


    What would you need the information for, Mr. Nian? Lu Kang treaded carefully.


    Nian Junting wiggled his brows, You wouldnt understand the strategies of a dating expert, he said gleefully.


    The f*ck? He has such low EQ but he still dares call himself a dating expert? Luo Kang couldnt help butment.


    At 9am, Luosang entered the ssroom just in time for Professor Lis module.


    His module was focused on television broadcasting, and there were many people attending that ss. She picked an unassuming corner and when she opened her text, a man with a baseball cap sat down beside her.


    Luosang, why didnt you go to Professor Chengs ss yesterday? I was waiting for you, Chi Shengxu asked as he lifted his cap to reveal a big bright smile.

    His module was focused on television broadcasting, and there were many people attending that ss. She picked an unassuming corner and when she opened her text, a man with a baseball cap sat down beside her.


    Luosang, why didnt you go to Professor Chengs ss yesterday? I was waiting for you, Chi Shengxu asked as he lifted his cap to reveal a big bright smile.

 Chapter 139. Why Is He Here? He Looks Familiar with Luo Sang

    Chapter 139. Why Is He Here? He Looks Familiar with Luo Sang


    Luosang was startled. She looked around and found that quite some people had seen Chi Shengxu. They were looking at him and whispering to each other.


    Youre from the acting department. Whyre you here? she asked.


    You didnt ept my invitation, so I figured youre still upset about what happened the night beforest. Chi Shengxu rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head to look at Luosang. He didnt care how eye-catching he was.


    Ive told you that I dont mind. I was working out there. I was busy, Luosang leaned her palm against her forehead while responding, Just go back to your ssroom.


    I dont get toe to the broadcasting department a lot. I want to know what youve been leaning, said Chi Shengxu while looking at Professor Li, who was walking in.


    Professor Li was famously strict, so Luosang had no choice but to stop talking.


    Alright, quiet. Professor Li raised a hand and said, Christmas is only a month away. This year, our school will hold arge-scale artistic activity, which will be hosted by a student from our broadcasting department. Unlike previous years, this time, some important people from a few film and televisionpanies, local television stations, and some famous directors will all attend.


    Once Professor Li said that, the students in the ssroom all began discussing excitedly.


    Seeing this, Professor Li smiled, and continued, I think you all understand that this will be an great opportunity. The ones who deliver good performances will have a chance to be remembered. So this time, students from the other departments have all been trying their best. The host from our department also needs to be selected carefully. This host will be the face of our college. Appearance should be secondary. Most importantly, this host needs to be quick of wit and eloquent, resourceful, and able to handle all sorts of situations; she will also need to have a good voice and great sense of music.


    Luosang clenched her hands. This was an opportunity for every student in the department.


    Like many of the others, she also needed a chance to stand out. However, even if she managed to impress the others, would Yi Jingxi ever give her an opportunity to build her career?


    With this thought, she slowly loosened her hands, and wore a nd look again.


    Shui Chang stood up and said, Professor, I think I can do it.


    Me too, Ni Miao raised her hand as well.


    Chi Shengxu abruptly stood up and said loudly, Professor Li, I think Luo Sang is the best.


    Luosang gave a start, then hurriedly tried to drag his hand down.


    Chi Shengxu ignored her and continued, I heard that Luo Sangs grade is ranked first in your department. Shes talented and experienced. I think every speech or performance she has made in school was natural and smooth. Not only that, she has a stunning appearance. Shes known as the prettiest girl in your department. And, her voice is incredibly beautiful. She can definitely attract an audience.


    Luosang paused briefly. She had seen Chi Shengxu only a few times in the recent few months, but the speech she made happened in thest semester. She didnt think he would know about it.


    Its Chi Shengxu. My God, why is he here? He looks familiar with Luo Sang. Are they a couple? Many girls in the ssroom showed jealousy in their eyes.


    Yeah, Professor, I agree. Soon, some male students stood up to speak for Luosang. Weve heard Luo Sang sing in KTV. Shes no worse than those singers.


    Its true. Luo Sang is so pretty. Even if shes talking nonsense, Id still like to watch her.


    More and more male students agreed with Chi Shengxu. Hearing them, some girls became unhappy.


    I dont agree, said Ni Miao angrily, Were selecting a host. Its not a beauty contest. She made masterly speeches in school, but so what? Making speeches is different from hosting. If making speech counts, Ive taken an internship in a broadcasting station.


    Hm, but the broadcasting station didnt make you a host. Besides, do any of you have better grades than Luo Sang does?

 Chapter 140. She Thought Only Yi Jingxi Knew About Her Identity, Who Knew…

    Chapter 140. She Thought Only Yi Jingxi Knew About Her Identity, Who Knew��


    Alright, enough with the squabble, Professor Li gestured for everyones silence before things escted further, I thought Luosang would be a suitable candidate too. Her good grades, consistency in her academic performance is alsoudable, and her adaptability is a good trait. Many of the professors have spoken kindly about her, and those who have objections can go and reflect on yourself. There is a reason why she is the top student in every module: broadcasting, performing arts, and voice acting. Most of you cant even beat her at foundation ss.


    The room was quiet after Professor Li said his piece.


    Luosang, are you able to take on this challenge? Professor Li directed the question at her with seriousness, If you dont seed, you may be known as a joke amongst faculty.


    I can do it, Luosang announced calmly.


    Although Yi Jingxi was still trying his best to hinder her paths, she couldnt bear to let this great opportunity slip by. He couldnt possibly take everything away from her, could he?


    Hmm, since we have a suitable candidate, lets start lessons, shall we? Professor Li looked satisfied as he opened his own text.


    After ss, Chi Shengxu was quickly surrounded by a group of girls. Luosang nced at him briefly before walking out of the ssroom.


    Luosang, wait up! Hey, that wasnt very nice of you to leave me behind after I came all the way here for you, Chi Shengxu eximed after squeezing past the group of girls.


    Why are you following me around? You are a campus superstar, and your fans are going to hate my guts, Luosang sighed deeply. She wanted to live her life drama-free. And all those words you said to Professor Li earlier on, dont act as if you know me very well.


    Who doesnt know your name in the broadcast faculty? Although you try toy low, you still have a high profile. Did you know, you are practically a campus goddess for many of the boys here! Chi Shengxu said in a light-hearted manner.


    Yeah, I never suspected anything before, but tell me honestly, you must have met more beautiful women in the entertainment industry? I doubt my looks are outstanding enough to captivate you in a matter of a few sses, Luosang look at him with suspicion.


    Chi Shengxu looked at her through his grinning eyes before breaking the silence, You are pretty sharp, Xu Luosang.


    Luosangs shoulders were shaking. She thought only Yi Jingxi knew about her identity, but who else knew


    She was inspecting this man in front of her with extreme caution now.


    Please dont misunderstand, I dont have bad intentions, Chi Shengxu raised his hands as a gesture of good will, Ive met you before, but perhaps you dont remember. Do you remember dubbing an American animated film called Bobby the Robber? I was only 15 years old then and I was part of the production. My parents got me a role as the little boy in the film, and it was the first time I did voice acting. I thought that I was doing well until I met you. You were even younger than me but you dubbed all the lines of the main female character as well as the lines of the little animals. You did such a perfect job I was so impressed. When I met you again at Professor Chengs ss, I recognised you immediately.


    Luosang was astonished, she vaguely recalled the film. She was 13 years old then, and everyone dubbed their lines together at the recording studios. She had a good memory and found it strange that she had no recollection of this boy at all.

 Chapter 141. Jingxi, Why Do I Like You So Much?

    Chapter 141. Jingxi, Why Do I Like You So Much?


    Back then, I was short, and my face was covered in pimples, not like now. Chi Shengxu shrugged smilingly while continuing, I know that something happened in your family, but, what your father did has nothing to do with your talent that Ive seen. Sadly, soon afterward you disappeared. When I saw you again, I found that youve changed your family name. Thats a good thing actually. You cane back to the dubbing circle with a different name, and just let bygones be bygones. I really want to help you to return to that circle, and I sincerely want to be your friend.


    His eyes were clear, and he seemed to mean what he had said.


    Luosang paused for a little while. She guessed that Chi Shengxu didnt know that she was banned by Yi Jingxi.


    After all, he was just an actor, and may not know so much about the things behind the screen.


    But still, she was gratified because he didnt try to hit her when she was down like most of the people she knew had done.


    I get it. Let me buy you lunch, said Luosang. She felt relieved.


    No, Im buying you lunch. Like Ive said, itll be my apology, Chi Shengxus eyes glowed. After saying that, he walked out along with Luosang with a bright smile.


    After lunch, Luosang headed back to the dorm for a nap. On her way, she got a call from Zhong Yi.


    Luosang, you dont want to work here anymore because youve hooked up with a guy with a sports car, do you? In this case, dont me me for letting Supervisor Yuans online series get banned, said Zhong Yi.


    Supervisor Yuans online series is supposed to air next month. But I havent heard anything about it even though this month is ending. Who knows how long youre gonna make us wait, said Luosang ndly, Since I feel hopeless, I cant possibly waste all my time on you, and let you make fun me of. Besides, I dont think I should ruin my own reputation because of Supervisor Yuans online series by serving the same man with you, do I? Im not a goddess who can help all the people in distress.


    What do you mean? Zhong Yi sounded nervous.


    Ask Yi Jingxi. I broke up with him long ago. Hes with you now, but still, he came to harass me. I feel disgusted. Finished, Luosang hung up the phone.


    On the other side of the phone, Zhong Yi uneasily looked at the man beside her and said, Jingxi, you heard her


    Yi Jingxi remained silent, but turned around to look outside through the French window.


    I feel disgustedThis short sentence echoed in his mind.


    He looked at his own reflection in the window, recalling all the sweet words Luosang used to say when putting her arms around his neck.


    Jingxi, why are you so handsome?


    Jingxi, why do I like you so much?


    Jingxi, I want to be your wife. Would you marry me?


    Now, he felt that his heart was empty, and was aching.


    The old days were beautiful, yet he could never go back.


    Luosang had stopped working for Zhong Yi. She wasnt sure about what Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi would do to Supervisor Yuan and his team. Earlier, she served the two every single day, but Supervisor Yuans online series never made progress.


    She guessed that the two might be fooling her around, so she decided to let them know that they couldnt always threaten her.


    Most importantly, she felt that being with Yi Jingxi was a very dangerous thing, so she needed to try staying away from him.


    Recently, Ye Chuen was busying preparing her new album. Tang Ning was back home for the weekend, and Yan Su was busy too. Therefore, Luosang was often alone in the dorm.


    At dusk, Lusang went back to the dorm from the library. While she was taking a shower, she heard some noises from the outside.


    Su, are you back?


    No one responded. Luosang had a bad feeling.


    She quickly put on her clothes and walked out, but no one was in the dorm.

 Chapter 142. Youre Just a Petty Thief With a Pretty Face

    Chapter 142. You''re Just a Petty Thief With a Pretty Face


    There was no reply and she felt an uneasy feeling deep down in her stomach.


    She dressed herself quickly and went outside, but there was no one there.


    Luosang thought she might have misheard something and left it at that. She dried her hair and thenid in bed to read.


    At around 10pm when she was about to go to sleep, a series of footsteps could be heard followed by rattling knocks on her door.


    She got out of bed and opened the door. She was greeted by a group of girls. Standing in front was Ni Miao and He Ruyi from her faculty. The dormitory housekeeper, Aunty Wang was there too, along with two police officers in uniform.


    Police officer, its her! I saw her leaving Ni Miaos room in the evening. She must have been the one who stole the money, He Ruyi pointed usatively.


    Luosang looked grim, What money?


    Aunty Wang looked upset, Ni Miao lost five thousand dors from her wallet and someone saw you leaving her room in the evening suspiciously. It was Ni Miaos ss fees for her training course, and she called the police afterwards.


    I didnt enter her room in the evening, Luosang was shocked at the outrageous usation, and then she recalled the noise she heard earlier when she was showering. She knew something was up and hurriedly exined, I came back to the room straight after ss and had a shower.


    Do you have an alibi? the police officer asked.


    Luosang frowned. It was a Saturday, and there werent many people around in the dormitory. She bumped into a couple of people on the way up but no one she knew, and her roommate wasnt around too so she had no concrete alibi.


    I guess you dont, the police officer pushed her aside, Im sorry, Im going have to search the room. Which bed is yours?


    The one in the center, someone pointed out quickly.


    Do you have a search warrant? You cant just go ahead without an official search warrant, Luosang blocked the officer.


    Out of my way, the two officers shoved her aside roughly and began flipping her bed upside down and rummaging through her drawers.


    After three minutes, they found a thick stack of cash in her school bag. It was five thousand dors neat.


    Are you still going to deny thievery? Youre just a petty thief with a pretty face, the officer said harshly, Take her away.


    I didnt do it! You two framed me. I heard someone entering my room when I was showering in the evening, Luosang had pieced things together and was ring at He Ruyi and Ni Miao, Are you guys jealous that I got the opportunity to host the Christmas event? You think youll stand a chance once Im out of the picture, dont you?


    The crowd that gathered outside her room starting whispering about Ni Miao and He Ruyi.


    Dont spew nonsense, we respect Professor Lis decision. Its true that you have better grades than all of us. You stole my money because you are broke, and we all know that. You always order the cheapest set lunch at the canteen, and you only have in buns in the morning. You could have told us about your financial difficulties, Luosang, we would have dly lent money to you. You didnt have to do such a thing, Ni Miao spoke with empathy.


    Luosang was furious. No wonder they were in the performing arts faculty.


    Cut the crap and follow us to the police station, the officer pushed her along.


    At this point, she knew that there was no point trying to defend herself. The cards were lined up against her. They must have plotted the scheme carefully.


    Word would get out, and then her reputation would be on the line. At worst, she could be expelled. Even if she kept her ce at the university, she would have to give up the emcee gig to someone else.


    The more she thought about the repercussions, the grimmer she got.


    She racked her brains for a way to clear her name.


    Everything happened so quickly that she didnt even get a chance to investigate and collect evidence.

 Chapter 143. Luo Sang, Youve been Lying to Me the Whole Time

    Chapter 143. Luo Sang, You''ve been Lying to Me the Whole Time


    On the way, Luosang called Professor Ma. She wouldnt bother Professor Ma if she had a choice. After all, he had helped her so much.


    After hearing her words, Professor Ma said in both surprise and anger, The students will really do anything to get what they want these days. Luosang, youve been excellent. Not to mention the students in your department, even some girls from other departments are jealous of you. But what happened today happened in the girls dormitory, and all your roommates werent there. Its gonna be a little difficult to prove that youre innocent.


    Hearing Professor Mas words, Luosangs heart sank. If she couldnt prove her innocence, she would be despised by the others when she got back to school. Perhaps, she wouldnt even have a chance to start a career.


    Just calm down. Ille over and talk to someone to get you out of the police station first, then well try to figure out a solution, Professor Maforted Luosang.


    Thank you, said Luosang with a low voice.


    At eleven-thirty at night, Luosang walked into the Cheng He Police Station. A few policemen, who were having their supper around their desks, raised their heads and looked at her. Eh? No beautifuldies havee to our station for a long time. Is she caught in an anti-vice operation? one of them asked.


    Luosangs face blushed in anger.


    No, theft, Zhao Chang, the policemen who brought Luosang here snorted and said, Shes from Ximei College of Communication. Shes pretty indeed, but she steals things.


    Ive told you that I didnt do it. Luosang bit her lips and said, Our school is holding an artistic activity recently. Many directors and people from film and televisionpanies will attend. Ill be the host of the activity. Many people from our department want to be the host. They want to kick me away; thats why they framed me.


    Two policemen nced at each other. Then, one of them said, Lady, its useless for you to tell us those things. You got to have evidence. Without evidence, nothing can help you. Come over and sit here. Show your ID. For theft to public or private property, thercenous amount from a thousand to three thousand yuan, you shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveince, and you shall be fined, additionally or exclusively. The amount of money involved in your case isnt much, so youll be able to leave after spending about half a month in jail and paying the fine.


    Luosang helplessly handed her ID card to the policeman.


    As the policeman was recording Luosangs information, a good-looking policewoman came upstairs, saying, Is Captain Lu here? My boss sent me to shift the case of the burned KTV to you.


    Miss. Nian, youre here, the few policemen hurriedly stood up, scrambling to take over the files.


    What Miss. Nian? Call me Officer Nian. Beforeing closer to Luosang, the policewoman pped the few policemen and made them howl.


    Luosang turned to look at her. After seeing her face clearly, she gave a start and called her name, Nian Xi?


    Hearing Luosang call her name, Nian Xi turned around and responded with, You are Luosang?


    Yeah, Luosang smiled and nodded, do you remember me?


    My God, Luosang my dear elder sister, why are you so young and pretty now? Did you do stic surgeries? Youve changed thoroughly! Nian Xi was so surprised that she could barely close her mouth.


    Luosang felt a little speechless, feeling that Nian Xi and her brother Nian Junting were really alike sometimes. Thats a long story, she said.


    Officer Nian, shes a student, and shes younger than you. Whyre you calling her elder sister? Zhao Chang couldnt help but join the conversation.


    No way. Once after saying that, Nian Xi began doubting herself.


    Look, her ID.


    Nian Xi nced at Luosangs ID, then after a while, sheined, So youre two years younger than me. Luosang, youve lied to me the whole time. Ive saw you as my elder sister. Why are you in the police station?

 Chapter 144. Her Brother Just Couldnt Keep An Aloof Front, Could He?

    Chapter 144. Her Brother Just Couldn''t Keep An Aloof Front, Could He?


    Im involved in a case of theft, Luosang said as she recounted the incident to Nian Xi.


    After hearing her story, Nian Xi looked at the officer who brought Luosang in with fury, Du Zheng, are you tired of living? Do you have any idea who she is? She is my friend; how could think she was a thief? She didnt steal a thing when she lived with my brother at the vi, but you think shed be tempted by some petty cash?


    Lived with your brother? The police officers drew in sharp breaths, they all knew who Nian Xis brother was. If this youngdy stayed with him before, she must have a deep rtionship with Nian Junting.


    Everyone was looking at Luosang differently now.


    Luosangs face was dark with worry, Its not what you guys think, Mr. Nian and I


    I know, I know, you must have been framed, Du Zheng interrupted her, How could you be a thief if youre Miss Nian and Mr. Nians friend?


    Before Luosang could rify herself, Nian Xi interjected, Exactly, weve all been to university before and we know how important your reputation is as a student. You must investigate this case properly and give Luosang her due justice. And Sansan, my brother would be so thrilled to know that youre still in Xia City. He didnt tell me explicitly, but I can tell he had a difficult time getting used to things after you left. Ill call him right away. She turned and dialed her brothers number.


    Why are you calling me sote in the night? Dont tell me youre in trouble again, the voice on the other end was groggy and croaky; he must have just woken up.


    Youre already asleep at 11pm? Youre practically an old man already, Nian Xi teased him mischievously.


    What do you want? Im going to hang up, Nian Junting was annoyed. He hated beingbelled as a lonely single.


    Hey, please dont! Guess who I met at the Cheng He Police Station? Its Luosang! God, you dont know how beautiful she looks now, and she told me shes only twenty-two years old


    What are you guys doing at the police station? cried Nian Junting.


    Nian Xi ignored him and continued, Someone used Luosang of stealing, I dropped by the station by coincidence. Anyways, the main point is that she is very beautiful now


    Cheng He Police Station you say? Iming over right now. If Luosang asks, tell her Iming to pick you up. Why dont you ask me to pick you up over the phone now for good measure? Nian Junting was already getting dressed.


    Nian Xi was confused but she quickly made sense of the situation. ncing at Luosang, she coyly asked, Brother, will you pleasee and pick me up? I didnt drive to work today, and itll be so dangerous for a pretty girl like me to be wandering the streets.


    Luosang had shivers down her spine listening to Nian. She was a police officer, wasnt she? If it wasnt safe for her to walk the streets at night, Luosang wondered who would be.


    Sansan, my brother ising to pick us up, she grabbed Luosangs arms cheerily after hanging up. Her brother just couldnt keep an aloof front, could he? She was amused that he was going to rush here immediately after hearing Luosang had be very pretty.


    Nian Xi was nning to help her brother: a fool in love. She would be so pleased if Luosang became her sister-inw. Luosang was someone who doted on her and itpensated for the fact that Nian Junting wasnt the most caring brother out there.

 Chapter 145. Why Does She Look so Cute Dressing like That?

    Chapter 145. Why Does She Look so Cute Dressing like That?


    I think its a long way from Tianhu Vi. Luosang felt a little embarrassed to see Nian Junting again, especially after that kiss.


    Its alright. You and my brother havent seen each other for a long time anyway. Later we should have supper together, said Nian Xi with a smile. Luosang, youre so pretty, and youre studying in college. I bet you have a lot of pursuers. Do you have a boyfriend?


    No. Luosang paused briefly, then turned to the policeman and said, Stop talking about that. Whats important now is my case


    Well look into it, but, said Du Zheng, even though we want to help you, the money was found in your purse and was witnessed by so many other people


    Dont you know the word frame? Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said, Sangsang is as pretty as a fairy; shes definitely envied by lots of people. Never mind, leave her case to me. Ill dig into it.


    Nian Xi believed that she must solve the problem of her future sister-inw perfectly.


    Nian Xi, thank you, said Luosang with gratitude. She had only seen Nian Xi a few times in the Tianhu Vi, and never contacted her afterward. However, Nian Xi gave her unconditional trust.


    No need to thank me. I understand how you feel, Nian Xi said, as if she had experienced it all. When I was a student, my adorable appearance and great family background always made some vile people jealous. The same things often happen to me at work too.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    As Nian Juntings sister, Nian Xi was very confident as well.


    But at least, Luosang thought, She has a reason to be confident, unlike her brother.


    As she wouldnt be held in custody, Luosang called Professor Ma to tell him not toe over. After that, she went through the relevant procedures which allowed her to leave the police station. About ten minutester, Nian Xi got a call from Nian Junting, and was told that thetter had arrived.


    Luosang and Nian Xi went downstairs and saw the Maybach parked before the police station. Nian Junting drove the car himself. The car window was open. Hearing the sounds of footstep, he slowly raised his eyes and saw Luosang behind Nian Xi. Her hair was a little messy, hanging loosely over her shoulders. She was wearing a cotton, pink pajama set, and a pair of pink panda slippers. Under the moonlight, her snow-white skin seemed to be as smooth as the surface of jade.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead.


    I cant stand it. Why does she look so cute and so pretty, even dressed like that?


    He didnt think that Luosang would like pink pajamas, because he remembered that she always wore dark-colored clothes back when she was taking care of him in his bedroom.


    Why didnt she wear pink clothes when she was his carer?


    Brother, you came fast. Nian Xi dragged Luosang to the car with a faint smile on her face. Look at Sangsang. You can barely recognize her, right? Isnt she pretty? I nearly failed to recognize her.


    Are you two close? Have you known each other for long? Nian Junting knocked the edge of the car window while saying, Stop calling that nickname. Just call her Luosang.


    Only I can call her in such an intimate way, by her nickname.


    Nian Xi didnt understand why. Before she could talk, dog barks could be heard from the backseat.


    Brother, why did you bring Xiaosi out sote at night? Asked Nian Xi.


    Em, Sister Lan didnt walk him today, so I bring him out to go for a ride


    Brother, your life is so miserable. You dont have a girlfriend, so you can only go for a ride with your dog, said Nian Xi grindingly.


    Nian Junting ignored her, but fixed his eyes on Luosang with a serious look. What happened tonight? Why were you in the police station? he asked.


    Luosang opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, Nian Xi hurriedly told the story in an exaggerated way.

 Chapter 146. It Occurred to Nian Xi Her Brothers Ulterior Motives Behind Bringing the Dog Out.

    Chapter 146. It urred to Nian Xi Her Brother''s Ulterior Motives Behind Bringing the Dog Out.


    As he watched his sister tell the story animatedly with her hand gestures and dramatic facial expressions, Nian Junting thought about stuffing her mouth shut. He wanted to hear Luosangs voice, not hers.


    It sounds like the victim of the story could as well have been the perpetrator? Nian Junting suggested.


    We need proof of that though, Luosang was a little uneasy, as the memory of the night in the rain shed by in her thoughts.


    Will you be able to investigate this thoroughly? Nian Junting looked at his little sister sternly, This isnt a small matter. It could affect her future. If word gets to the deans office, then she could even be expelled.


    Dont worry about it brother. I have cracked several cases on my own this year. If I really cant find any evidence, then Ill turn to you for help ok? Given your capability, youll surely have a solution anyway, Nian Xi was buttering up to her brother.


    Thats true, so he paused as he looked at Luosang with a prideful demeanor, No need to put on that sour face of yours anymore. Oh yeah, Nian Xi, didnt you tell me you were hungry earlier on? Lets go, we can all have supper together.


    When did I tell him that? Nian Xi thought to herself. Isnt this a regr courtship, why did he have to be so pretentious? No wonder he is still single and lonely till today.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but roll her eyes at her brother, and she intentionally walked to the front passenger seat. Before she could sit down, her brother was already ring at her, and cautioning her to act wisely.


    Forget it. Ill sit in the back. Its been a while since I cuddled Sisi, Nian Xi scuttled to the backseat.


    You can sit in the front, Nian Junting gestured to Luosang with his chin, Sisi is too big, so you wont fit in the back with them.


    Alright, Luosang stepped into the car awkwardly.


    Looking at the two of them from the back, it suddenly urred to Nian Xi that her brother had an ulterior motive behind bringing the dog out.


    What a sneaky man. He didnt want Luosang to squeeze behind.


    As the sedan moved off, Luosang started staring out of the window. Parked on the side of the road was a small, white SUV, and it looked familiar, Isnt that your car, Nian Xi? Didnt you say you didnt drive today?


    Luosang remembered Nian Xi driving that same car at the Tianhu Vi.


    You must have remembered wrongly, there are so many people driving the same model as me, Nian Xi denied quickly.


    But even the car te number is the same one


    Nian Xi was flustered. She didnt think her lies would be exposed so quickly, Really, hmm, I guess I did drive my car out today then. Look at my poor memory, I cant even remember driving. I must have been really exhausted from overtime work. Look, Im acting delirious.


    Nian Junting knew his sister had messed up, so he added on hastily, So if you did drive to work today, then why did you make mee all the way here?


    Luosang was quiet; they were putting on quite a show.


    Forget it, theres no need to flesh things out. After all, Nian Xi had just helped me today, Luosang thought to herself.


    Brother, turn left ahead. I know a lot of supper ces around here with decent food, Nian Xi was pping the drivers seat from the back.


    Are you talking about the riverside area? Luosang asked.


    Youve been there before? The view there at night is impressive too, Nian Xi continued, Im sure my brother has never been before though. He only goes to fancy ces. If the dcor didnt cost them hundreds of thousands, then he wouldnt even step into the restaurant.


    Luosang was a little stunned, and she recalled the noodle bar Nian Junting brought her.


    She looked over at him, the streetlights shing by were casting mesmerizing shadows on his face.

 Chapter 147. Stop Singing, Or You Might Attract the Attention of Other People

    Chapter 147. Stop Singing, Or You Might Attract the Attention of Other People


    Around ten minutester, the car was parked by the riverside. The government had reconstructed this area and made it look like the colorful Qinhuai River. Barbecue bars, open-air restaurants, and music restaurants were lied up by the river. Music could be heard as soon as Luosang got out of the car.


    Nian Xi guided Luosang and Nian Junting into a restaurant. The open balcony facing the river was surrounded by nts, and the quaint tables were decorated with fresh flowers. In the middle of the balcony wasa microphone and a guitar.


    Nian Junting nced around, feeling happy about the ce. It was suitable for dating. However, it would be a little unpleasant to have someone ying gooseberry on this date.


    He lowered his head, took out his phone, and sent a message to Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi ordered the food with Luosang, then opened the WeChat app on her phone to read the message.


    Find an excuse to leave by yourselfCEO Nian.


    Nian Xi gritted her teeth. She never knew anyone as ungrateful as her brother.


    She refused to leave.


    Sangsang, itll take a while for the food to get served. Lets sing. You can pick the songs that you want to sing here. Before Luosang responded, Nian Xi dragged her to pick songs.


    Nian Junting pulled a long face. He didnt want to follow them, so with no other choice, he watched the two girls pick songs before him. Nian Xi sang Jay Chous Confession Balloon; her performance was just ordinary. When it was Luosangs turn, she took over the guitar and sat on the bar chair. She tilted her head to sing the song Dont Remember Me.


    Under the colorful lights, her hair covered half of her face, but it made her look stunning. She put one foot on the ground, the other on the footstool, with the guitar on herps. She looked tall and slim. Even though she was wearing pajamas, her beauty could still thump peoples hearts and make them feel it hard to breathe.


    Nian Junting looked at her, eyes fixed on her.


    Without thinking, he grabbed the ss of iced beer on the table and emptied it. However, the beer failed to save him from feeling hot and dry.


    It surprised him that Luosang could y guitar. He wondered how many more skills she had. And her voice was as beautiful as a dream. It sounded drawling, but was so pleasant. Her voice was wless; way better than that of the stars who had released their albums.


    At the end of the song, the people in the restaurant gave Luosang thunderous apuse. A man stood up from his seat and walked to Luosang, saying, Beautifuldy, that was amazing. I wonder, do you have a boyfriend? Can I have your number?


    Nian Junting quickly stood up, took the guitar away from Luosangs hands, then said to her in a deep voice, Stop singing, or youll attract other peoples attention.


    Before Luosang could react, he took her wrist to bring her back to their table.


    All the others in the restaurant eyed them. Luosangs face blushed as she tried to break free from his grip. He gave her a threatening nce and said, Now you know why you are always targeted by some lecherous man. Look, youre surrounded by them. If I wasnt here, youd be in dangerter when you get back. Youre not allowed to sing in public ces anymore.


    Youre the most lecherous man here, after saying that, Luosang noticed Nian Xis meaningful gaze, and blushed again.


    Seeing her blush, Nian Junting smiled and said, Dontpare me with those people. Thats humiliating for me.


    Eh brother Please dont forget Im here too, alright? Nian Xi grinned, interposed herself between Nian Junting and Luosang. She pulled his hand away from her wrist, then continued, Dont hold a girls hand without her permission.


    Watching his empty hand, Nian Junting had an impulse to put his sister back into his mothers womb.


    Sangsang, youre such a great singer, said Nian Xi with admiration. Brother, do you remember Ye Chuen? I think shes also a student of Ximei in the music department. I heard from Mom that shes going to be a singer. But I think Sangsangs voice is better than hers. Why dont you talk to some people and make Sangsang a popr singer? I think shell definitely explode in poprity.

 Chapter 148. Her brothers attitude made her feel like she just had a mouthful of dog food

    Chapter 148. Her brother''s attitude made her feel like she just had a mouthful of dog food


    Luosang was shaking her head, but before she could decline Nian Xis kindness, Nian Junting said, No.


    But why? A voice like hers will surely be popr, shes a good artist to invest in, protested Nian Xi.


    Nian Junting pursed his lips before replying, Because she can only sing for me.


    Nian Xi was speechless. It has only been a couple of hours since he met her again and hes already acting so possessive? Dont tell me hes nning to bring Luosang straight to bed tonight, Nian Xi thought.


    Luosang face palmed. Never had she met anyone as thick skinned as Nian Junting. Didnt she just make things clear with himst week? He was acting as if she was his girlfriend.


    Just as the atmosphere was starting to feel a little tense, the waiter brought a te of lobsters to their table. Nian Xi hurriedly said, Lets eat, theyre known for their lobsters here.


    She handed a pair of gloves to Luosang.


    Luosang looked over at Nian Junting, and her eyes reflected hesitance. Nian Xi exined, My brother doesnt eat lobster. He thinks its too much of a hassle.


    Luosang lowered her head and started eating alongside Nian Xi.


    As they worked through the pile, Nian Xiughed, This reminds me, I was watching a variety show on TV recently. Big S was telling the other celebrities that she never des-hells prawns for herself, and her husband always does it for her. We got to find ourselves a man like that. Someone who will dote on their wife.


    I watched that episode too, Luosang replied, Her husband is really sweet to her.


    Nian Junting had been listening to the conversation without adding any input, but suddenly he picked up a pair of stic gloves.


    Nian Xi was stunned, Brother, are you going go for the lobster?


    Nian Junting started peeling the lobsters clumsily without replying his sister.


    As she watched his brute attempt, Luosang couldnt help but to remind him, They sliced the back of the lobster, so just peel along that slit.


    Nian Junting followed her instructions and proceeded to put the peeled flesh into Luosangs bowl.


    The two girls were looking at him in a daze, and he continued peeling the shellfish and piled on more lobsters onto Luosangs bowl.


    Didnt you guys say that prawns should be peeled by the men? he nced seductively at Luosang.


    Luosangs heart skipped a beat, and the lobster in her own hands fell into the bowl.


    She realised that Nian Xi was staring at them, but she couldnt help but blush a deep-red. Her mouth gaped open and she didnt know what to say to both of them.


    Nian Xi was in shock as well, and after a while she slowly slid her bowl in front of her brother, Brother, can you help me peel one too?


    No, peel them yourself, Nian Junting said coldly as he continued working on the lobsters for Luosang.


    Nian Xi was bbergasted. After all, she was the one who brought them together tonight. Her brothers attitude made her feel like she just had a mouthful of dog food.


    Luosang coaxed gently, Come on, help Nian Xi peel one too.


    She didnt notice that she was speaking in a gentle and loving manner, but Nian Junting picked it up quickly. He felt pleased about himself.


    You said you didnt like me but yet you are speaking to me in such a sweet way. Damn, when women have a sexy voice, it will be the death of me. I could listen to her all day for the rest of my life, Nian Junting thought happily to himself.


    Its not that I dont want to help her, but I just dont want her to have unrealistic expectations of her significant other in the future. I dont want to be the reason if she ends up as an old maiden, Nian Junting exined unapologetically.


    Whatever. Ill peel them myself, Nian Xi said with a grimace, and she picked up a big lobster with resentment.


    Luosang assessed the situation and started peeling a lobster for Nian Xi.


    Nian Junting grinned to himself as he watched her fingers move nimbly, Wow, shes even buttering up her sister-inw.

 Chapter 149. From Now On, Ill be Shelling All Your Prawns

    Chapter 149. From Now On, I''ll be Shelling All Your Prawns


    After finishing a teful of prawns, Nian Xi found herself unable to stand how her brother advertised his rtionship with Luosang. Therefore, she lowered her head to make her phone ring, then walked to the side to pretend to answer a call. Then, she came back to the table and said, The police station just called me. Theres a new case, so I need to go. Brother, you stay here to enjoy the food with Sangsang; dont forget to send her backter.


    After saying that, she felt that she was truly a nice sister. Her brother wouldnt shell her prawns, but still, she helped him.


    Thinking that she would be spending time with Nian Junting alone, Luosangs heart missed a beat. Are you leaving already? she said to Nian Xi, then turned to Nian Junting and continued, I think we should leave as well. Nian Xi didnt drive her car. You should give her a ride.


    No need. Shes a policewoman, therefore knows how to fight, so shes absolutely safe. Nian Junting didnt move.


    Yeah, and Im still in uniform. No one is safer than me. Nian Xi worried that if she stayed for another minute, she would never want to talk to her brother again. Sangsang, Ill find you in your dorm tomorrow morning, dont turn off your phone.


    After Nian Xi left, both Luosang and Nian Junting fell in silence. Some other people started singing.


    Nian Junting tapped the table with his fingers, recalling what he had read from the sweet talk books. He had learned quite some lovers honeyed words which could melt a girls heart, but he wasnt sure about what to say at this very moment.


    He thought for a while, then began talking slowly. This song is so unpleasant to hear. After hearing you sing, I find no one sings better than you do.


    Eh-hem, Luosang was drinking water. Hearing his words, she shivered and spouted the water in her mouth. A few drops even sshed on Nian Juntings face.


    So-sorry! The startled Luosang hurriedly took a tissue to wipe his face.


    Nian Junting was going to get angry, as no one had ever dared to spit on his face.


    However, as she got close to him, her soft skin rubbed against his cheek and the anger in his heart was gone.


    Never mind, he said.


    Luosang sighed in relief. After sitting down again, she couldnt help but say to him, Mr. Nian, I remember thatst time, I made it clear with you. What you did tonight


    Did you like it? Nian Junting interrupted her and raised his eyes to look at her. You said that the husbands who shell prawns for their wives are good.


    Under his gaze, Luosang lowered her head and responded with, Butyoure not my husband.


    Anything is possible. Nian Junting gave a smile and said, Ive been thinking a lot these days. You refused me because youre poorly tasted. As for the feeling thing you mentioned, I dont believe in it. I believe in charm. Im an outstanding man, so youll easily fall in love with me if you spend some time with me.


    Luosang felt a little speechless about his confidence which was established quickly.


    Eh


    Alright, from now on, Ill be shelling all your prawns, Nian Junting smiled, looking straight into her eyes.


    Luosang wasnt able to stay calm.


    Before, Nian Junting always said mean words to her, but today, his words had thumped her heart and made her feel so sweet for a few times in a row.


    Its nearly one oclock. I have ss in the morning, so I need to go back to the dorm, Luosang stood up and said.


    Its sote, I think your dorm would be closed already, Nian Junting tapped his watched and said, You should go back with me and stay in the vi for tonight. Ill send you to school tomorrow morning.


    I dont think my dorm is closed Luosang bit her lips. She didnt want to go back with him, because she believed that if she did, her rtionship with him would be tooplicated.

 Chapter 150. As long as Im in the drivers seat, you have to sit in the front

    Chapter 150. As long as I''m in the driver''s seat, you have to sit in the front


    Dont think I dont know. Youre going to find somewhere cheap near school to stay the night, arent you? After buying me clothes, my guess is that youll only have about a thousand dors left on your card. You can only afford a guesthouse, Nina Junting frowned deeply, Those ces arent safe for a young girl like you. Come on, you dont have anyone else you can go to soe with me.


    Luosang was a little surprised. It was almost as if he could read her mind. The words he said hit her at all her soft spots.


    Sister Lan misses you too, Nian Junting interrupted her thoughts.


    With Sister Lans chubby, kind face in her mind, Luosang finally nodded her head in agreement.


    On the way home, Luosang opened the car door to the rear seat. Before she could board, Nian Junting wagged his finger in disapproval, As long as Im in the drivers seat, you have to sit in the front. Come forward now.


    Luosang looked at him in frustration. Nian Junting had been very bossytely. Im not your hired caretaker, so why must I listen to you? Im going to sit in the back, she said spitefully.


    With a bang, she mmed the car door shut. Nian Junting raised his brows. She had never defied his instructions like this before. Instead of feeling offended or angry, he actually found the situation oddly interesting.


    At least she knows how to throw tantrums at me, like a proper woman. Is this what couple fits are like? Nice, Nian Junting thought.


    Alright, be my guest, Nian Junting gave her a smirk and started the engine.


    When they made eye contact, Luosang felt flustered.


    Whats going on? He sounded as if he waspromising with a tempestuous girlfriend, Luosang thought.


    Back at the Tianhu Vi, the household had gone to bed long ago. It was two in the morning and Luosang made herselffortable in guest room downstairs.


    There are fresh towels and toothbrushes in the toilet cab. Rest up, and Ill ask Sister Lan to make some beef noodles for breakfast tomorrow, Nian Junting instructed her.


    Beef noodles? Mr. Nian, why are you always feeding me beef noodles? Luosang said in amusement.


    Dont you like beef noodles? Nian Junting responded.


    Not really. I like all food, not just beef noodles in particr, Luosang was confused. He must have thought that it was her favorite food.


    Nian Junting did a double take. He did notice that she wasnt a picky eater at meals, You cant possibly enjoy every food out there. You must still have preferences and dislikes.


    Luosangughed, When you have to worry about whether youll have enough money for the next meal, then you gain appreciation of every meal that you get.


    Luosang, did something happen before? even Nian Junting could tell that she was speaking from experience.


    She had studied overseas and practiced guitar since young, so she must have been carefully brought up by her parents as someones precious daughter. You told me previously that something happened to your family, and caused your dad to end up in jail. Is that true?


    Yup, Luosang answered him briefly. She didnt want to bring up the past again, Thats why you should keep your distance from me, Mr. Nian. My father is in jail, and hanging around me wouldnt be good for your reputation. You are born with a silver spoon and your father works for the government. Theres no way your family would support our rtionship.

 Chapter 151. It Seems that You Want to Marry Me

    Chapter 151. It Seems that You Want to Marry Me


    Nian Junting pondered over her words, then said knowingly, I get it. You refused me, not because you didnt like me, but because you were worried that my family wouldnt ept you. Youre really thinking ahead. You even thought about if my parents would ept you or not. It seems that you want to marry me.


    Luosang was stunned. She realized that she needed to be extra careful when talking to Nian Junting, or a huge misunderstanding might happen at any time.


    Thats not


    I know; you are within good reason to have these worries. Nian Junting raised his hand, interrupted her, then said, But I think we should be together first to see if were right for each other. If we are, we can marry each other. I dont care about the family background of my other half. After all, as an excellent and capable man, I dont need my marriage to be helpful for my business. I can reach the top by myself, and my other half just needs to be happy every day. As for your parentsl Ill be with you, not your parents. You dont need to feel shame because your father is in prison. Whether your father was framed or not, youre not him, and itll be enough for you to be yourself.


    Mr. Nian His long speech silenced Luosang. Her heart got hit hard.


    Ever since Xu Zheng Xuan went to prison, almost every person she knew had taken pleasure in her misfortune, or tried to hit her when she was down, orughed and harmed her.


    She was a person hated by everyone; she was forced to hang her head in shame, and she was left with no other choice but to leave Xia City.


    In here, she carefully hid her past, and she didnt dare tell her friends anything.


    No one knew that she truly wished there could be someone who didnt care about her past.


    It surprised her that the first person she met who cared nothing about her past was Nian Junting, the proud man who often said mean words.


    Alright, dont overthink it. Nian Junting looked at Luosang, whose head was raised and her eyes sparkling under the light.


    Somehow, he felt pity for her. My father looks nice, but in private, he has also done things I cannot ept. However, he never took away my confidence.


    Em, Luosang nodded. She was touched that Nian Junting took his own father as an example.


    She guessed that no one was able to shake his super strong confidence.


    In the next breath, he continued in a different tone with his iparable confidence, while reaching out a hand to rub her head. So dont think youre not good enough for me. If you like me, be brave and ept it. You dont need to hold yourself in.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Cant you make me feel touched for a little while longer?


    Just sleep. From this day on, as long as Im here, youll never again live the life that made you worry about food. Looking at the speechless Luosang, Nian Junting gave a big smile, then turned and left. He closed the door on his way out.


    Luosang paused briefly to think, then smiled as well.


    She previously thought that she would have to spend an awful night at the police station, but surprisingly, things had changed. It seemed that he would show up every time she was in a bad situation. As long as he was with her, she would feel relieved.


    Luosang fell asleep veryte that night. The next morning, she was woken up by Nian Xis call.


    Sangsang, have you woken up yet? Im on my way to your school, said Nian Xi.


    Luosang wasnt fully awake yet. Then please wait for me. Im not at school. I slept at the Tianhu Vist night, she responded.

 Chapter 152. Oh my god! You guys are already sleeping together after one night?

    Chapter 152. Oh my god! You guys are already sleeping together after one night?


    On the other end of the phone, there was a long pause before a shrill shriek, Ahhhh, oh my god! You guys are already sleeping together after one night? Whats the rush? Have you got any condoms on you? Im not ready to be an aunty so fast!


    She didnt think that someone as pretentious as her brother would score a girl in bed so quickly. Call her a prude, but she wasnt used to such liberal methods.


    Luosang was jolted awake by her loud voice, I said I was sleeping at the Tianhu Vi, who said anything about sleeping under your brothers covers?


    This pair of siblings really drove her crazy.


    Alright, I know youre embarrassed. You dont have to exin yourself to me, and looking at the chemistry between you twost night, I can understand if you have to satisfy each others desires, Nian Xi said after calming herself down.


    Understand?


    Luosang was blushing now, I had nowhere to gost night, and the hostel was closed. Thats the only reason why Im staying here, besides, Im sleeping by myself in the guestroom.


    Oh I see, I misunderstood the situation, Nian Xi said regretfully, I thought my brother had a brilliant moment of realization and decided to go ahead with the rtionship.


    The corner of Luosangs mouth was twitching ufortably, I cane over right now but youll have to wait for a while.


    No worries. Ill go over to the hostel to make a quick investigation of the witnesses testimonies. Ill tell the girls involved that we found new evidence to prove that you were innocent, and that Ill be going over their statements to iron out any creases. You have to pretend that you dont know me when we meetter. Remember, youre the victim and Im just the police officer that the station sent.


    Got it. She knew that Nian Xi wanted to ensure her credibility.


    When she walked out of her room, a table full of breakfast dishes greeted her.


    Nian Junting was sitting at the edge of the table feeding meat to Xiao Si. He looked extra casual today; white sneakers, grey trousers, and a velvety red jacket. He was wearing a crisp white shirt on the inside and essorized with a casual watch. He looked extremely fashionable.


    Mr Nianyour outfit Luosang stammered.


    Ill apany you to school today. Obviously I cant be wearing a full business suit, so I just randomly picked a casual outfit to go with the asion, Nian Junting looked over at her. When he saw her surprised expression, he grinned to himself.


    Sister Lan looked at him in disbelief after hearing what he just said. Randomly? He had spent the entire morning rummaging through his closet just to find a suitable outfit to send Luosang to school. The closet was in aplete mess now.


    Youreing to school with me? Luosang was so shocked she had forgotten to greet Sister Lan, I think Im good. You can just drop me at the gates.


    I dont trust Nian Xi alone with the case given herck of experience and intellect. Ill have to go and guide her along. Besides, after all that youve been through yesterday, Im sure that the perpetrators wont let you off easily. They must be spreading vicious gossip about you around the campus. Even with Nian Xi there, youll surely be bullied if you go back now. Im not sure youll be able to cope with the judgement of everyone then, Nian Junting shook his head.


    Yeah Sansan, let him apany you to school, Sister Lan added. Oh right, Mr. Nian asked his secretary to deliver a set of clothes for you. You can wear that instead of your sleeping wear. Hurry along, I left it on the sofa for you.


    Ok, thanks Sister Lan, Luosang didnt think it was good idea to wear her pajamas to school either.

 Chapter 153. Dont Worry, Ive Fixed Your Problem

    Chapter 153. Don''t Worry, I''ve Fixed Your Problem


    Okay. Thank you, Sister Lan. Luosang didnt refuse, as it was indeed inappropriate for her to keep wearing pajamas.


    When she went back to the guest room to change clothes, she found that all the clothes were brand-name pieces; even the shoes were from Louis Vuitton.


    After changing, she came out of the room. Nian Junting raised his head to look at her, eyes glowing. Sister Lan covered her mouth whileughing. I was so blind before. How could I not notice that Sangsang is as pretty as a star.


    Sister Lan, please stop making fun of me. Luosang pulled at her shirt, then looked at Nian Junting and said, Mr. Nian, these clothes are too expensive


    Im d youre aware of that. Nian Junting smiled and responded with, You broke my jacket before, so you already owe me over a hundred thousand. With these clothes, you now owe me about two-hundred thousand. You can pay me back bit by bit, but, If you cant afford to pay your debt, feel free to sell yourself to me.


    Luosangs face blushed. Thest sentence is the point, isnt it? she asked through gritted teeth.


    So you want to sell yourself? Nian Junting nodded.


    I dont, she said.


    Nian Junting chuckled and said, I read a book recently. It says women never say what they mean.


    Luosang felt like he was driving her crazy. She didnt respond to him. Instead, she focused on the breakfast.


    Before she finished the breakfast, she got a call from Yan Su. Luo, I didnt go back to schoolst night, but this morning, I found that in the group chat of our school, in WeChat and in the forums, people are all saying youre a thief. How did this happen? Ive sent some screenshots to your WeChat. Check them now.


    Luosang hurriedly opened the WeChat app on her phone. She found that some people had taken pictures of her being taken away by police. The pictures were now spreading all over the school. Instantly, her heart sank. Things had be like this in just one night. Her enemies didnt even give her any breathing space. Judging by the current situation, soon enough the whole school would know that she was a thief. No one from the film industry would hire her; even worse, she might be expelled from school.


    Abruptly, Nian Junting reached out a hand to take her phone away. He spent a while looking at the pictures, then put the phone down and said ndly, Stop looking at your phone. Finish the breakfast first. Ill fix your problem.


    Luosang paused briefly and asked, How?.


    Nian Junting turned to say to Steward Wu, Get myputer,


    Steward Wu soon brought hisptop to him. He turned it on and found the forum of Ximei College of Communication. It was pretty obvious that Luosang had been quite famous in her school, as the entire forum was discussing what happenedst night.


    He quickly browsed thements of some people.


    One Thousand and One NightsOh my, I cant believe Luo Sang would do something like this. I saw her as a pure and noble fairy. If I knew what she was really like, Id have offered her money for sex.


    Honor of Kings Good Good GoodSo disgusting. And she made herself look so virtuous in front of us.


    PahpahpahI wonder how they recruit students. How could they admit such a disreputable thief?


    Im-Gonna-Be-RichI heard that she had pulled some strings to transfer to our school. Some people say that she often went to Professor Mas home. And every time when she visited Professor Ma, Mrs. Ma wasnt home. Perhaps, she slept with Professor Ma to get this opportunity


    The morements Nian Junting read, the darker his face became. Even he couldnt bear reading the students dirtynguage, so without a doubt, Luosang would have a hard time reading them.


    He pondered shortly, then spent a while typing with his slender fingers.


    About ten minutester, he turned off hisputer and said to Luosang, Dont worry, Ive fixed it for you.


    How did you do that? Luosang asked.


    She had only read a few lines from the screenshots that Yan Su sent to her. She knew that Yan Su must have avoided the worstments to protect her feelings, but she could imagine it. After all, back in An City, after her father went to prison, she had read millions of insultingments about herself from the forum of the school. Even her best friends tried hurting her. It was the first time she had experienced something like that. She nearly copsed. What was worse was that no one was there to help her. But now, she was much stronger than before. She was still afraid, but she wouldnt allow herself to show her fear.

 Chapter 154. Dont be uneasy, I can lend myself to your aid for a while

    Chapter 154. Don''t be uneasy, I can lend myself to your aid for a while


    At this juncture, when Nian Junting said dont worry, it was akin to him holding out amp in the pitch dark, and his warmth and light engulfed her immediately.


    Its simple, I posted another thread on your school forum while posing as an insider. I said that you were dating a handsome, young rich man. I also added that he owned a listedpany and drives you around in his 6-million-USD luxury SUV. Why would you have to resort to stealing if you have such a rich boyfriend? Also I said you didnt tell anyone about him as you wanted to keep a low profile. I already texted Lu Kang, and he will be enlisting the help of hiredmenters to repost the thread. Tell me, isnt the story convincing?


    Luosang stood silent for a while before stuttering, This idea isnt too bad, but why do I feel so uneasy?


    Dont be uneasy. I can lend myself to your aid for a while, Nian Junting gave her a sexy smirk.


    His smile was dazzling.


    Mr. Nian, Im ok with this n, Luosang chewed on her sandwich hesitantly, But do you actually have a 6-million-dor SUV?


    Nian Junting raised both his brows, Who says I dont, I just got one a couple of days ago. Ill drive thatter.


    Luosang was in a daze, holding the sandwich in her mouth, as she stared at Nian Junting with bright eyes. She realized that Nian Juntings description of her imaginary boyfriend was practically tailored to his own profile.


    Meanwhile, Nian Junting was having a joyous morning as he sipped his coffee.


    After the incident of driving his sports car in the rain, he vowed never to drive another sports car again. He would be driving SUVs for their dates from now on. It was what he was good at, and it made him look manly, unlike the frivolous Xiao Si.


    After 10 minutes, Nian Junting rolled up and parked arge SUV in front of Luosang.


    Dont just ogle at the car, hop in, Nian Junting waved to her.


    Luosang pulled open the car door and used arge amount of strength to pull herself clumsily onto the car seat.


    I cant me her, although theres a footstep, it is her first time riding such a magnificent car. Its hard to look graceful doing that, Nian Junting thought.


    Mr. Nian, if someone saw me getting out of this car, itll be an ugly sight to behold. Theres no way Ill be able to climb down elegantly, Luosang said bravely. This wasnt a clich TV series after all.


    Nian Junting paused before saying, Ill carry you outter then.


    Luosang nearly choked, Thats not what Im suggesting


    Lets do that when we reach the school.


    Luosang was silent and made a face.


    What kind of expression is that? Are you unwilling? Im just trying to help you, you know? Nian Junting said.


    No thank you, Luosang managed to sputter out.


    Hm, you can smile if youre grateful. Oh right, if your roommate asks about us, you have to insist that Im your boyfriend. Im not sure about your roommates other than Yan Su, but we have to y it safe you know, Nian Junting reminded her.


    Alright.


    The situation was as it was, and Luosang had to go along with the n. Watching the tall man beside her basking in the morning sun, she felt protected and safe.


    It was the first time in 2 years, since her father was incarcerated, that she felt this way.

 Chapter 155. How About This; Ill Pay for Your Food from Now on

    Chapter 155. How About This; I''ll Pay for Your Food from Now on


    About twenty minutester, Luosang got another call from Yan Su.


    Luo, whats going on? Some people in the forum are saying that you had a tall and handsome and super-rich boyfriend this whole time. Theyre making it sound real.


    Luosang told her about the n. After hearing that, Yan Su chuckled and said, It seems that as long as Mr. Nian is there, I dont need to head back to school in a hurry.


    Spend more time in Hang Zhou with your boyfriend. Ill be fine, Luosang said, then hung up the phone.


    Does Yan Su really have a boyfriend? asked Nian Junting.


    Yeah.


    Well. Nian Junting nodded and continued, Poor Lu Kang.


    On her way back, Luosang got calls from Ye Chuen and Tang Ning, and answered their questions vaguely.


    After arriving at the school, Nian Junting drove directly toward the girls dormitory. However, before the car got near to the building, he saw a lot of people standing in that area.


    As the car couldnt get through the crowd, he had no choice but to park by the roadside.


    As Luosang opened the car door, Nian Junting suddenly walked over and put an arm around her waist.


    I can get off


    Before she finished, he carried her out of the car.


    Youre light as feather, he said after carrying her down. Is it because you spent all your money to buy me that jacket?


    Luosang thought for a moment, then said, It was my fault for breaking your jacket.


    It looks like I should take the responsibility. How about this; Ill pay for your food from now on.


    Luosang gave a start. She was often shocked by his words, even though he was less sharp-tongued than before.


    I dont think you need to do that I can still afford to eat.


    Really? People in the forum said that you were poor, and that you ate steamed bread and tofu every day,


    How can my woman be so poor?


    Luosang pouted, thinking that the students were really gossipy. Mr. Nian, didnt you make me live on cabbage and tofu when I was working for you?


    Nian Junting paused, as he didnt expect that one day, he would shoot himself in the foot. Back then you were fat, so I wanted to help you lose some weight.


    Luosang felt speechless, as Nian Junting could always find excuses for what he did and said.


    Mr. Nian, she said, If you insist, just put two-hundred yuan in my meal card. Thats the amount Ill spend on food every month.


    Two-hundred? How can my woman spend so little on food? Never mind, Ill put twenty thousand in her card, so she can have good food every day.


    Enough talking, lets go find Nian Xi. Luosang took his arm and dragged him toward the dorm building.


    Following her, Nian Junting nced at her hand, which was holding his arm, gave a smile with satisfaction.


    Quite a few people were standing in front of the building. Getting a closer look, both Nian Junting and Luosang saw a handsome boy among the crowd.


    Chi Shengxu? He was an actor who had yed a part in that movie.


    While thinking, he knitted his brows.


    At that moment, Chi Shengxu abruptly turned his head to look at Nian Junting. His eyes darkened slightly, but still, he smiled and walked quickly over, saying, Luo Sang, youre finally here. Ive been expecting you for a while.


    Chi, dont you know that shes a thief? asked a female student. She stole money from one of our ssmates. People are all talking about that right now.


    Yeah, some other people agreed.


    Nonsense. I dont believe it, Chi Shengxu frowned, raised his voice, and said, I have known Luo Sang since I was little. Dont I know what kind of a person she is? She would never steal money; that, I can guarantee with my own reputation.


    What? You have known eachother since little? But she was caught red-handed. The surrounding people were surprised, as they didnt think that Luosang was Chi Shengxus friend.

 Chapter 157. Mr. Chi, Right? Thank You for Looking After My Girlfriend

    Chapter 157. Mr. Chi, Right? Thank You for Looking After My Girlfriend


    Xu? They sound close to each other. Why doesnt she just call me Ting?


    With a cold smile, he stepped forward to shield Luosang with his tall and strong body, then said, Mr. Chi, right? Thank you for looking after my girlfriend. Were busy now, so you can go back.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Is he an actor too? Hes pretty good at it.


    After short eye-contact with Nian Junting, Chi Shengxu smiled and said, I should be thanking you. Ive known Sangsang my entire life. I should buy you lunch. But, Ive never heard that Sangsang has had a boyfriend.


    Nian Junting felt a little annoyed. He was surprised to find that Chi Shengxu wasnt so easy to deal with, but still, he didnt take thetter serious, no matter how good he was at talking.


    No need, he said. Normally, you need to make an appointment one month in advance to have lunch together with me, unless youre my girlfriend or family.


    Its alright, Ill just buy Sangsang lunch.


    Nian Junting felt that Chi Shengxu was so hard to deal with.


    He turned to put an arm around Luosangs shoulder, then responded with, My woman dont need another man to buy her lunch. Sangsang, since he wants so badly to have lunch together with you, you should take him to the canteen of your school. I just promised to put twenty thousand on your meal card. It should be enough for you to buy his food.


    When she heard him call her Sangsang, Luosangs face blushed, and next, when hearing he say twenty thousand, she was speechless.


    Didnt she just tell him that two-hundred would be enough?


    The stunned Nian Xi stared at the men, feeling that a war was starting.


    She was even a little jealous of Luosang. Chi Shengxu was a popr young actor, and Luosang actually knew him. If she knew Chi Shengxu, all of her friends would be so envious of her.


    Twenty thousand? I dont think thats necessary. Chi Shengxu paused slightly, the smile on his face disappearing.


    Of course its necessary. If she didntin, Id buy your canteen.


    Alright, Xu, Ill call youter. Luosang hurriedly said something, as she really couldnt let them continue that conversation. While speaking, she winked at Chi Shengxu to signal him to stop talking.


    When Nian Junting saw her wink, his face turned cold.


    What? Winking at each other right in front of me? This is awful.


    Alright. Chi Shengxu smiled, turned, and prepared to leave. As he took a few steps forward, Nian Xi called his name suddenly. After that, she took out a notebook and a pen from her pocket, walked up to him with a bashful smile, and asked, Can you please sign your name for me? I like your movie a lot. You have many fans in our police station.


    Chi Shengxu paused briefly, then nodded with a warm smile.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead and said, Are police officers so unprofessional now? Youre working right now, yet instead of focusing on the case, you grasped an opportunity to ask for a signature. Tell me your badge number; Ill make aint about you.


    Nian Xi was honestly speechless.


    Was he really her brother?


    Dont be so mean, Luosang sighed and said.


    Chi Shengxu quickly signed Nian Xis notebook, then said to Luosang, Sangsang, is he really your boyfriend? How can you tolerate him? Id be driven crazy if I were you. Then, he left.


    After he left, the area around Nian Junting turned as cold as the North Pole.


    Luosang pressed her lips together, remaining silent.


    Looking at them, the policeman named Du Zheng didnt even dare to breathe loudly.

 Chapter 158. Itll be an impossible mission to get rid of my brother

    Chapter 158. It''ll be an impossible mission to get rid of my brother


    Nian Xi bravely interrupted the silence, Brother, dont you think you are acting very petty in front of your love rival?


    Who said that hes my love rival? Hes not nearly as qualified as me, Nian Junting nted his gaze towards Luosang, and he could see that she looked upset.


    He vaguely recalled that she called him mean.


    Dont be mistaken, Nian Xi. Your brother and I are only pretending. We came to a consensus in the morning to put on this show to help my case and reputation, Luosang exined.


    Sounds like a good n. So, you guys are only a pretend couple? Bro, arent you taking this acting job too seriously? Nian Xi looked at her brother.


    I cant help it. I take everything I do seriously, Nian Junting reached out and ruffled Luosangs hair vigorously, So tell me about you and Chi Shengxu. Have you known him for a long time? Since you were a child? Howe you never brought him up? Whats your rtionship with him now? Youre not allowed to call him Ah Xu from now on, and youre also not allowed to bat your eyes at him.


    Luosangs hair was in a mess and her mind was as well.


    Arent these things out of his realm of control? she thought.


    Enough, she peeled his hand off her head in frustration, He is my friend, and I can do whatever I want because its none of your business.


    I wont allow it, Nian Junting said bossily, Since you hired me to be your boyfriend, I will take this role seriously till the end.


    When did I ever hire you? Didnt you step up and choreograph this story on your own? Can I fire you? Luosang said harshly.


    No.


    They just stepped into the hostel and she already wanted him gone, Nian Junting was highly displeased.


    She had an uneasy feeling that she just got herself stuck in a rut.


    Nian Xi patted her shoulder with sympathy, Sansan, you shouldnt have agreed to go ahead with this n! Itll be an impossible mission to get rid of my brother.


    Luosang nodded her head in agreement, and she was starting to realize how difficult it would be to get away from Nian Junting now. Suddenly, Ni Miao and He Ruyi appeared together with Director Xu. When Ni Miao saw Luosang, she quickly pointed at her and said, Director Xu, this is the girl who stole my moneyst night.


    Luosang frowned. She didnt expect Director Xu to be there too. She had a feeling that they had a long day ahead of them.


    Director Xu assessed Luosang quickly and then introduced himself to Nian Xi and Du Zheng, Are you here to investigate what happenedst night? I only heard about the theft at the womens hostel early this morning, and the case has gotten quite a buzz. ording to the school rules, if the case ends up implicating the schools reputation and standing, then we will either bring the case to the disciplinary counsel or expel her.


    Although the sum of money involved is only five thousand dors, we want to be thorough with the investigation as it concerns the reputation of a student here. There were some parts of the story that didnt add up, so were back to look at the CCTV, Du Zheng said.


    Police officer, didnt you find the money in her bagst night yourself? Why do you have to look at the CCTV today? Ni Miao asked hurriedly, her eyes darting around before resting on Luosang, I dont care what tricks you pulled to make the police officerse over to re-investigate the case, but I know you did it. How could you do such a thing after the level of trust Professor Li put in you? He even made you the emcee for the Christmas event! You are a disgrace of the faculty.

 Chapter 159. For My Girlfriends Reputation, I Dont Care About the Money

    Chapter 159. For My Girlfriend''s Reputation, I Don''t Care About the Money


    Are you sure that Professor Li will choose you if I dont get to be the host? Luosang clenched her fists, gave a cold smile and said, You have poor ability to make an immediate response. You are so selfish, that you framed me to benefit yourselves. You wont do it if you have any sense of group honor.


    Haha, youre funny. The money was found in your purse. How did I frame you? Youve done it yet you refused to admit it. Ive never seen someone like you. Once Ni Miao said that, Nian Xis phone started ringing. So, she walked to the side to answer the phone.


    Nian Junting walked to Luosangs side, gently patted her on the shoulder and said, Sangsang, dont worry. Last night, Ive sent those cash to check for fingerprints. If you really stole the money, your fingerprints can certainly be found on those money; if you didnt, itll be a different story.


    Luosang paused briefly. Ni Miao and He Ruyi had their expressions changed simultaneously.


    He Ruyi forced a smile and said, Youre joking. Its just a theft case. The police dont have the time to identify the fingerprints.


    Ive pulled some strings to find a Judicial Authentication Institution. They are authoritative, Nian Junting smiled and said, It cost me quite some money, but I dont care. As long as it can prove that my girlfriend is innocent.


    Hearing that, Director Xu who had been quietly listening to their conversation nced at Nian Junting. Nian Junting looked under thirty, yet his vibe even made Director Xu who often took part in all sorts of social engagement slightly afraid.


    You are he said to Nian Junting.


    Im her boyfriend, Nian Junting responded ndly, I was surprised when I heard people say that my girlfriend stole some money. When we became girlfriend and boyfriend, I gave her a ck card, but she refused. I gave her a sports car, diamond watches as gifts, but she didnt ept any of them. No matter how badly shesck of money, shell always work to earn the money she needs. So, she stealing five-thousand yuan honestly sounds ridiculous.


    Luosang sneakily nced at Nian Junting, found that he was perfectly calm while talking. She even admired him for how real he made his words sound.


    ck card, sports car, diamond watches


    Everybody can be an actor or actress nowadays, she thought.


    Sports car? Ni Miao snorted and said, Luo Sang, please stop kidding. Where did you find this actor? If you really have such a rich boyfriend, why do you always wear cheap clothes? And why have you been trying so hard to save money?


    Nian Junting frowned and responded with, Lady, not every woman is as vainglorious as you are. She just doesnt want to show off. She didnt need the whole school to know that she has a rich boyfriend. She wears cheap clothes because she wants to keep a low profile. Ive bought her loads of expensive clothes, yet she just hardly wear them.


    She doesnt want too much attention. Instead, she just wants to focus on study. After all, as the prettiest girl and the best student in your department, shes already being envied by many. If she dresses different than the others, some unwanted rumors about her would certainly be created. However, even though she never wanted any problems, problems came to her.


    Hearing his long speech, Luosang was shocked.


    He should be awyer, she thought, He can even talk ck into white. Amazing.


    He nearly made her believe that they had truly been maintaining a rtionship for a long time, and that she was really a low-key person.


    You Youre just bragging, Ni Miaos face blushed because of anger as she said, Director Xu, we never heard that she has a boyfriend. This guy must be someone she found randomly.

 Chapter 160. Except for Luosangs, Isnt that strange?

    Chapter 160. Except for Luosang''s, Isn''t that strange?


    Director Xu had met all sorts of people in his lifetime. He was observing Nian Junting quietly, and his gaze rested on Nian Juntings wrist. The watch he was wearing was not a visibly luxury brand, but he could tell that it would set him back at least a million dors. Alright, stop squabbling. Didnt the gentleman say that he sent the dor bills to the forensics, and if Luosang did it, her fingerprints will be all over them?


    The results are out, Nian Xi returned after the call. Without missing a beat she said, The report states that there were many fingerprint on the notes, but none were from Luosang. Isnt that strange?


    What whats so strange about that? Maybe she was wearing gloves? Ni Miao stuttered guiltily. She didnt expect Luosangs boyfriend to show up, and she didnt expect for him to be so relentless in the investigation that he would actually spend money to send the bills for forensic analysis.


    Another thing, Nian Xi smirked at He Ruyi, Du officer said that you were the witnessst night. ording to the records, you said that you saw Luosang entering the room suspiciously when you were returning to the hostel. The time was roughly 6.30pm, but I saw you walking into the building at 6pm through the CCTV tapes. You two stay on the third floor, dont you? Did you take half an hour to get from the first floor to the third?


    I I was ying with my phone while heading up, and thats why I was walking slowly. Oh right! I also stopped on level two to talk to a ssmate. He Ruyi hurriedly added, I told the police that I saw her around 6.30pm. I cant be sure of the exact time, so it was an estimate.


    Nian Xi raised her brow, Are you sure? How long did that conversationst for?


    He Ruyi nodded her head, About twenty minutes or so. Im sure.


    Nian Xis lips curled into a smile and she opened her notebook and looked at her notes, Look at my poor memory. I remembered incorrectly. You did walk into the hostel at 6.30pm, ording to the video tapes, but now youre saying that you took a leisurely stroll and stopped to talk to a friend. This means you got back to your room at about 6.50pm, and theres no way you could have seen Luosang entering Ni Miaos room. ording to my conjectures, you made a false statement.


    He Ruyi and Ni Miao looked sick, and He Ruyi was stunned for a while before shaking her head vehemently, No, I didnt. I I I just remembered wrong.


    Nian Xis face was serious, But you said you were sure when I asked you just now. Are you going to go back on your word again?


    Its not like that He Ruyis head was spinning from Nian Xis interrogation. She felt anxious as Nian Xi locked her gaze onto hers with intensity. She didnt have the wits to formte a reasonable exnation quickly now. Ni Miao on the other hand, was looking on with anxiety, and she didnt dare to say anything since she wasnt the witness after all. Maybe I saw her at around 6:50pm. I didnt pay attention to the exact time, but Im sure it was between 6 to 7pm.


    You said 6:30pm yesterday, and then today you change your statement to 6:50pm. Do you know you can be charged with obstruction of justice for changing your statement so frivolously? Nian Xis tone was getting more and more high-strung.


    Ni Miao quickly chipped in, Even if she keeps changing the time, it doesnt change the fact that Luosang stole my money.


    Im just getting to that. Were going to have to talk about your conflict of interest in this incident. ording to Du officer, Luosang is going to be the emcee of the Christmas event at your school. I also heard that there was only one avable spot, and you got into a fight with Luosang during the nomination process. If Luosang really does get charged for theft, then she wont be allowed to host the event anymore. Naturally, you would be one of the top candidates to take on the gig. All in all, we have reason to believe that you set her up to frame her, Nian Xi concluded.

 Chapter 161. Ill Sue You for Slander

    Chapter 161. I''ll Sue You for nder


    After a brief pause, Nian Xi continued, After all, since it happenedst night at eleven oclock, many people have heard that Luo Sang stole someones money via WeChat and forums. Luo Sangs boyfriend believed that some people have ndered her on purpose, so he called police an hour ago. By now, the police have found out that the ount which spread the rumor belongs to you, Ni Miao.


    After hearing that, Director Xu slowly turned his eyes to Ni Miao and He Ruyi. He knitted his brows.


    Ni Miao managed to stay calm, while He Ruyis face started paling a little.


    Luosang didnt quite believe Nian Xi before, but now, she was stunned. Normally, Nian Xi may seem to be a little unreliable, but when handling a case, she was like another person, like awyer in court. What surprised her more was that Nian Junting had actually called the police because someone tried to nder her.


    She had no idea about that.


    She quietly turned to him, but he didnt sense her gaze. He slightly curved his perfect lips into a smile, then said, Madam, based on the information you provided just now, if I send mywyer to sue these two for nder and defamation, could you start an official case file?


    Of course we can. if you dont mind going through all the trouble, you can spend some more money to check your girlfriends purse for fingerprints. Like the fingerprints of these two Nian Xi shrugged and said.


    He Ruyi shivered, nearly falling to the ground.


    Nian Junting stared at her ndly while continuing, If were really going to engage in awsuit, Miss He, Ill feel sorry for you. Because Luo Sang won, youll be charged with perverting the course of justice. That might cause some bad influence to your future career. And, if Ni Miao won, shed be thergest beneficiary, while you wouldnt be able to benefit from the whole thing at all.


    Are you insane? Do you have to check for fingerprints and start awsuit for five-thousand yuan? Ni Miao panicked. I wont press any charges, alright? Ill just bear the loss.


    Bear the loss? Nian Juntingughed as if he had heard a funny joke. I dont think youre clear with the current situation. Its not about you letting us get away. Instead, its about me suing you for fabricating facts to nder my girlfriend. Five-thousand yuan was nothing, but you cant buy your reputation with five-thousand. As for fingerprint identification, we dont need to do it, because I now have enough evidence to make you fall in disrepute. Dont forget to contact your parents. Youll get court summons soon enough.


    No, please dont do that. He Ruyi couldnt stay silent anymore. She burst in tears and said, I admit it, I lied. I didnt actually see anything. Ni Miao put the money in Luo Sangs purse when Luo Sang was taking a shower. She stole the key to Luo Sangs dorm a couple of days ago from one of her roommates, named Tang Ning


    He Ruyi, dont you try to frame me! Ni Miao screamed. When did I do that?


    You told me to lie! Youre jealous of Luo Sang because shes going to host the Christmas show. You said that she probably slept with Professor Li, and thats why he picked her; you also said that the boys in our department rmended her because shes been flirting with them all day. Im also jealous of Luo Sang, because the boy I like is into her. I was so wrong. I thought that if the others see her as a thief, hed like me.


    He Ruyi said while crying, Luo Sang, please forgive me, dont sue me. I studied so hard toe to college. Im going to graduate next year. If you sue me, my life will be ruined.

 Chapter 162. Hello sister-in-law, welcome aboard my brothers pirate ship

    Chapter 162. Hello sister-inw, wee aboard my brother''s pirate ship


    You never considered that you were putting my future and studies on the line, Luosang said coldly.


    Im sorry! Im so sorry, He Ruyi said in a panic, apologizing furiously, As long as you dont sue me, Ill do whatever you ask.


    Who do you have a crush on? Nian Junting suddenly interrupted.


    Luosang was speechless, Thats beside the point, ok.


    Its important to me, Nian Junting nced at her, and Luosangs heart skipped a beat when she made eye contact.


    Huang Qingyang from our faculty, He Ruyi replied quickly.


    What a tacky name, Nian Junting remarked.


    Come on, be professional, Luosang thought.


    Nian Xi cleared her throat and said, Well Director Xu, it looks like weve got to the bottom of this case. We have to take Ni Miao and He Ruyi with us for interrogation.


    Sorry for troubling you officers. We might have wrongly punished Luosang if not for the both of you. You two are a disgrace to the school. How could you use such lowly methods to get what you want, instead of putting to your heart and mind to the books? Especially Ni Miao, this incident reflects your poor moral character, and we will have to expel you. As for He Ruyi Director Xu reprimanded the two girls.


    Although He Ruyi made a false statement, she dide forward to confess to her wrongdoings. I dont think we have to expel her. We can let the police deal with you ordingly, Luosang said.


    You dont seem like a bad crook. Ill detain you for half a month, Nian Xi fished out a pair of handcuffs and put it around Ni Miao in a sh, You two, follow me back to the station.


    No, please dont expel me. Please, Luosang please. Im sorry! Just let me off this time,


    Ni Miao was crying hysterically, and grabbed at Luosangs hands desperately.


    Before she could reach Luosang, a big hand intercepted her grasp midair and pushed her towards Nian Xi. Nian Junting warned her, Your posts online were put there to ruin her, but you want her to forgive you?


    Come on. Lets go. Youre already acting like this in school, so what kind of evil deeds will you do once you graduate and enter society? Nian Xi and Du Zheng were escorting them towards the car. Before leaving, Nian Xi shuffled up to Luosang and whispered, Hello sister-inw, and wee aboard my brothers pirate ship.


    Luosang shivered.


    Needless for Nian Xi to say, she knew she would have trouble getting out of this situation.


    Director Xu, I hope you can make an announcement to the whole school about the truth of what happened here. Help Luosang clear her name, Nian Junting said seriously.


    Of course! Dont worry about it, Director Xu was overwhelmed by his dominating aura.


    I would also like to make a suggestion, Nian Junting gestured towards the ceiling above them, I think you should install CCTV cameras along the corridors. There are so many people walking in and out of this building, and if you had cameras installed along the corridors then this wouldnt have happened today.


    We didnt install cameras for the sake of the girls privacy. I didnt think something like this would happen, but Ill ry your feedback to the school administration, responded Director Xu.


    Thank you, Nian Junting said nonchntly.


    Since the case is closed now, you should leave the womens hostel. If not for the special circumstances today, males are not usually allowed in the building, Director Xu said with a smile before making a move himself.


    Lets go. Ill walk you down, Luosang said and looked around. it was Monday and most students were in ss. She knew that the housekeeping aunty was a strict woman.

 Chapter 163. Youre even in Her Bed and Spreading Her Blanket

    Chapter 163. You''re even in Her Bed and Spreading Her nket


    No, I need to go to your dorm and take a look. Nian Junting didnt move.


    He made it sound like she was really his girlfriend.


    What do you want to look at in my dorm? she asked.


    I need to know where you live. Nian Junting nced at her and said, Every time I have seen you, you have been in trouble. If I know where you live, Ill be less worried if someone troubles you again.


    Luosangs eyshes quivered slightly.


    His words might mean nothing to others, but to her, who was alone and away from home, those words were just so meaningful.


    She felt that she was finally not alone, and that she finally had someone who cared about her.


    Doesnt he always say mean words? But this time


    Lets go. Nian Junting walked upstairs.


    Luosang had no choice but to follow behind him. At first, she worried that her roommates might be in the room, butter, she found that the others hadnte back.


    They had a spring cleaning session in the girls dorm yesterday, and most of the girls liked things clean. Therefore, the room was rather clean and tidy when they got in. Luosangs bed and closet looked slightly messy, as someone had rummaged through them.


    Nian Junting looked around. He paused slightly when walking past Ye Chuens table.


    I think Chuen is your distant cousin. Luosang turned to where he was looking and saw a photo of Ye Chuen which was ced on her table. Its such a small world, she said.


    Ah, its Ye Chuen. No wonder she looks familiar. Nian Junting nodded and said, She doesnt look like the girl in the photo at all. Thats why people say to never believe in girls photos, because they arent real.


    Eh Luosang said, Fortunately, Chuen isnt here. Otherwise, she might want to vomit blood if she heard what you said.


    Nian Junting raised his brows in disagreement and said, Ive already made that euphemistic enough.


    Luosang really wanted to know what would happen if he didnt try to make his words euphemistic.


    I havente to a small ce like this for long, said Nian Junting wistfully. I have lived like this when I was a soldier. But our dorm was much tidier than yours, and our nkets wasnt folded so unskillfully.


    Luosang lowered her head. Earlier, she felt that her bed was tidy enough.


    While she was thinking, Nian Junting suddenly climbed up to her bed and spreaded out her nket to refold it carefully.


    While doing that, he said, I used to have better nket-folding skills. I could fold a nket more perfectly than this.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Oi, why is a man here? Who told you goe in? The dorm manager walked past Luosangs room and saw Nian Junting from the outside. She angrily walked in and said, Youre even on her bed, spreading her nket. What are you going to do? Its the middle of the day! Didnt you see the sign at the entrance? Boys are not allowed in here! You little girls just cant be careful.


    Luosangs face blushed. Madam, Weve talked to Ms. Wang beforeing in


    Eh? You again? Ms. Xie pointed at her and continued, I remember you. Youve impressed me actually. Countless boys were downstairs to tell you that they love you. Some of them lit hundreds of candles, some of them covered the ground with flowers, and some of them even sang for you. So many noises. You have a boyfriend now? I dont think Ive seen this one before.


    Luosang felt so embarrassed, and somehow, she sensed a stream of cold airing from the man standing beside her.


    Its not like that she tried to exin.


    Youve brought him into your dorm, but now youre telling me that hes not your boyfriend? Ms. Xie nced at Nian Junting and said, He looks prettier than your other suitors. You little girls all like handsome men. But in my opinion, most of the handsome men arent reliable. Those boys will try everything to get into the girls dorm. Ive worked as a dorm manager for over ten years, so Ive seen everything.

 Chapter 164. Besides, the bed isnt even long enough for me to lie down

    Chapter 164. Besides, the bed isn''t even long enough for me to lie down


    The longer Nian Junting listened to this aunty, the more annoyed he got. Were all housekeeping aunties as naggy as her? He liked her assumption that he was Luosangs boyfriend though. This has been a misunderstanding, I was just helping her fold her duvet, he eventually said.


    Aunty Xie was taken aback and looked over to Luosangs bed, Folding the nket? Who are you fooling? This is one of the lousiest excuses I have ever heard. Why dont you just say that you were fixing the bed frame?


    I dont have to lie to you, Nian Junting retorted.


    Alright, alright, well Ive seen plenty of youngsters like you sneaking around the hostel. I know exactly what youre after. I dont mean to nag, but you should find somewhere else if you are up to something. It wont cost too much.


    Luosang wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. Hats off to you, Aunty Xie, youre really on high alert after catching that couple in the hostelst holiday, Luosang thought.


    Youve really misunderstood, I only came up to look at her room and then offered to help her fold her duvet when I saw the mess. I dont care about the cost of booking a hotel room. Besides, the bed isnt even long enough for me to lie down, Nian Junting said coolly.


    Not big enough for him to do anything too.


    Alright, Im sorry, Aunty Xie. Well head down now, Luosang had a feeling that the more she tried to exin, the more it would seem as if she was trying to cover something up. She grabbed Nian Junting and headed for the door.


    Aunty Xie had no choice but to follow behind them. Luosang locked her door behind her, and as she turned around, she heard Nian Junting ask Aunty Xie, Can you leave me a phone number? My girlfriend is studying by herself in Xia City, and I worry about her. She was framedst night by someone who stayed here, and was even arrested and brought to the police station.


    Oh, so it was herst night. Ok, since her situation is quite unique, Ill give you the number of the hostel administration office. That is the most I can do, Aunty Xie said with a hint of unwillingness, Your girlfriend has way too many suitors. Youve got to guard her well. Youre not allowed in here next time, so go out if you must. Although Im an elder, Im not the ultra conservative type, but you cant taint the school image and culture. What would the girls hostel look like if she brings back a guy today, and then another girl brings back another guy tomorrow?


    Luosang was frowning deeply. Aunty Xie was out to embarrass her, wasnt she? Was it necessary for Nian Junting to get her number too?


    Enough, lets go.


    She couldnt bear to stand there in the corridor it Aunty Xie for another minute longer.


    The moment they left the building, Nian Junting grabbed her arm and tugged her towards him, I didnt know you had so many suitors. They gift flowers, serenade you, and dance for you? How many of them are there?


    Its none of your business, Luosang looked at him helplessly, Mr. Nian, youre poking your nose into too many of my affairs. Also, if you didnt insist on taking a tour of my room, then Aunty Xie wouldnt have misunderstood us for being indecent. Ill be so ashamed to bump into her from now on.


    Of course it is my business! Since this morning, I have officially signed on to be your boyfriend, Nian Junting replied matter-of-factly.


    Luosang inhaled sharply, Well about that. Technically I didnt hire you. You say so yourself that you were going to lend yourself to my aid for a short while, so we are a pretend couple.


    Nian Junting had stopped speaking and his eyes were still locked onto hers.


    His dark pupils sent chills down her spine, as well as a tiny bit of guilt.

 Chapter 165. Luosang, Ive Never Heard of Fake Boyfriends

    Chapter 165. Luosang, I''ve Never Heard of Fake Boyfriends


    Luosang, that would be immoral. Are you trying to cut me loose now because your problem has been solved? Nian Junting frowned and said, You didnt refuse when I said that Id lend myself to you, did you?


    Youre right, but our rtionship is still fake, she said.


    Nian Junting red at her and responded with, What is fake? Did you rify that it would be fake at that time? Why dont I know about that?


    Do I have to rify that? Wasnt it obvious?


    Luosang, Ive never heard about fake boyfriends. I can either be or not be your boyfriend, but I cant be your fake boyfriend. Since I was your boyfriend then, I am still your boyfriend now, said Nian Junting, loud and clear.


    Luosang paused for a second, then gave a conclusion. You are acting shamelessly.


    You are the one who is acting shamelessly. Nian Junting proudly raised his chin and responded with, Have you forgotten that earlier when I offered to top up your meal card, you didnt refuse? Theres an unwritten rule in universitiestopping up girls meal cards is their boyfriends exclusive right. Dont tell me that you had no idea about it. When you agreed to that, you have admitted that I was your boyfriend. So arguing with me now is meaningless.


    Luosang was stupefied. She felt like she was falling into a giant trap. I thought you offered to top up my meal card because you wanted to help me. And when was there an unwritten rule about how only a girls boyfriend can top up her meal card?


    Keep pretending. If you dont believe in it, go find the boys who are topping up meal cards for girls in the canteen, and ask them if theyre the girls boyfriends, said Nian Junting proudly.


    Luosang fell into a silence. Could she really go and ask those boys? Of course she couldnt. The boys who topped up meal cards for girls in the canteen were certainly the girls boyfriends. If not, those girls must be gold diggers, and she was definitely not one of them.


    As she didnt respond, Nian Junting smiled and said, Lets go top up your meal card.


    Mr. Nian, wait Luosang dragged his arm back and said, I dont want you to top up my meal card anymore, alright?


    I have to. You see, the dorm manager already knows youre my girlfriend. If you lose weight, she might think Im a stingy guy. Nian Junting rejected her and conveniently held her hand.


    Hisrge hand wrapped up her small hand, which was so soft and so pleasant to hold.


    Even our hands can be held together in a perfect way.


    Being led by the hand, Luosang took about ten steps forward. She was a little muddled, as she didnt expect that this man could actually be so cheeky.


    Dont look at me like that, Nian Junting turned and said to her, You see, everyone in the forum is saying that you have a rich, young, and handsome boyfriend. If your schoolmates suddenly found out that you dont have a boyfriend, and that what people said in the forum was not real, what would they say about you? They mightugh at you for being dumped, or use you of lying. No matter what, they cant wait to see you fall in embarrassment. So I think you should thank me right now.


    Luosang clenched her teeth as she began suspecting that he nned all of this.


    Mr. Nian, she said, What if Im not afraid of beingughed at?


    Well, if I decide to help someone, Ill help them to the end, said Nian Junting ndly.


    Luosang honestly didnt know what to say. It was the first time she had met someone so thick-skinned.


    Until they arrived at the canteen, Luosang was still in shock.


    Give me your meal card. Nian Junting reached out a hand to her.


    Lousang gave a bitter smile and said, Mr. Nian, I can afford to eat. You see, you dont have to top up my meal card, even if I am your girlfriend. I still owe you about two hundred thousand.

 Chapter 166. Im not attracted to men who throw themselves at me…

    Chapter 166. I''m not attracted to men who throw themselves at me��


    Youre finally admitting to being my girlfriend, Nian Junting nodded his head with satisfaction, You can pay back the million dors slowly, and dont worry, this lunch money wont be lumped together with your debts.


    Did she think that she didnt need to pay me back anymore now that shes my girlfriend? As if, Nian Junting thought.


    He nced over at Luosang who was still quiet, I didnt pardon your million-dor debt because I knew that you wouldnt have wanted that. You are a prideful and independent person, and I didnt want fight with you over this.


    Who said she wouldnt have agreed to that? She wasnt as altruistic and noble as he


    pictured her to be.


    Mr. Nian, is there some sort of misunderstanding? I would love to have a conversation about my debts, Luosang thought.


    God knows how tiring it was to carry the burden of a million-dor debt, and especially for an ordinary citizen like her.


    Luosang was too embarrassed to bring the topic up after Nian Junting said that.


    Mr. Nian, must you be my boyfriend? Luosang looked up at him after drawing a long breath, If youre going to be such an easy catch, then I might not ce too much importance in you.


    What? Nian Junting thought he heard her wrong as he squinted his eyes. The atmosphere got a little tense.


    Luosang shrugged sheepishly, and recalled what he had said to her before. She said weakly, Im not attracted to men who throw themselves at me


    He felt as if someone gave him a hard p. He despised her for a long while before, and now it was her turn to pick on him.


    He was filthy rich. What was not attractive about that?


    After a couple of minutes, he rubbed the crease between his brows and smiled, Fine, you like to go against the flow? Im used to your tricks.


    Luosang twitched. He really knew how to push her buttons.


    As she turned silent, Nian Junting muttered sternly, Dont push it, Luosang.


    Luosang pouted. She couldnt stand him, and never had she met anyone who forced her to be his girlfriend.


    When she handed over her meal card, he finally rxed his expression, Top up twenty thousand dors for me, he said to the cashier.


    The cashier was stunned, What?


    He misspoke. He meant two hundred dors, Luosang pulled Nian Junting aside, What are you doing? Ill never be able to finish the card value even if I eat here every day till I graduate.


    I already told Chi Shengxu earlier that I was going to top up 20,000 dors for you. I wont go back on my word. Not to my love rival. I am going to put him in his ce, Nian Junting said with conviction. He didnt want to give other suitors a chance to help her top up her meal card, especially since his schedule wouldnt allow for him to spend lots of time with her. You think Im joking? he continued, Do I look like someone who likes to joke around?


    Luosang was speechless, but she wasnt going to let him get his way, You cant waste money like that no matter how rich you are! If you go through with this, then Im not going to be grateful at all. In fact, Ill stop talking to you.


    NIan Junting looked at her and burst into a light chuckle, Weve only just started dating and you already want to control my finances. Alright alright, since youre acting so coquettish, Ill do as you say.


    When was I flirting with you? Luosang said incredulously. She was blushing a bright red, Im not trying to control your expenditure. Im just telling you what I think is the right thing to do.


    Women like to say one thing and mean another, Nian Junting thought. He was sure that her high-pitched intonations just now were her way of ying coy with him.


    Fine, Ill heed your advice on how to spend money more sensibly ok? Limited to the smaller things of course. Ill still call the shots on the big-ticket items, Nian Junting concluded.

 Chapter 167. Im not the Jealous type, so you dont need to Explain in Detail

    Chapter 167. I''m not the Jealous type, so you don''t need to Exin in Detail


    Luosang sighed. Nian Junting made her feel like they were going to get married soon.


    Now, tell me how much I should put on your meal card? Two-hundred isnt gonna happen. Its way too little. Five-thousand, thats my biggestpromise. From now on, every time youe here to eat, dont forget to order some decent food. While speaking, Nian Junting took out a bank card and said, Gain some weight. I dont like you being too skinny.


    Luosang opened her mouth, but didnt manage to interrupt his speech. Didnt he say that hell let me decide? Yet still, he made the call himself.


    However, hearing him speak with a tone ofmand, but with concern, she felt sweet.


    Before, every time she left home for school, her father would also tell her again and again to gain some weight.


    After topping up the meal card, Luosang looked at her watch, then said, You should go. Im going to ss.


    Nian Junting nced at her and said, Ill walk you to your ssroom. By the way, I want to know how Huang Qingyang looks.


    He Ruyi just mentioned him in casual talk, yet you memorized his name.


    Luosang gave a bitter smile and responded, I dont even know who he is.


    Nian Junting frowned.


    Im not lying to you. So many boys like me, how could I know who he is? Besides, Ive been busy studying and working; I dont even get much time to hang out with my ssmates.


    Em, Im not the jealous type, so you dont need to exin in detail.


    Luosang was a little speechless.


    Nian Junting remained silent for a while, then said, But Ill repeat this one more timeYoure not allowed to call Chi Shengxu Xu again.


    Who just said that hes not the jealous type? Luosang didnt even bother saying anything to him.


    And you better stay away from the boys in your school. Im not trying to control your life, I just found that nearly all the boys here have narrow and dirty minds, he added with a deep voice. I didnt let you read thements in the forum this morning, but Ive read some myself. I didnt see any of your suitors supporting you. Instead, tons of people used bad and dirtynguage. How can these boys have so many unhealthy thoughts in their heads? When my friends and I were at their age, we were simple and honest.


    Simple and honest Luosang wanted tough. She had never seen anyone praise themselves while depreciating others. However, she admired him for being able to say it out loud.


    Mr. Nian, she said, Let me walk you to your car.


    Alright, he said.


    They walked through the woods. Earlier, Luosangs head was muddled, but now, her mind was clear. The sudden silence between her and Nian Junting made her feel a little awkward.


    About four or five minutester, he held her hand. He was very healthy, his palm was thick and warm. The warmthing from his palm surged to every corner of her body, making her face blush.


    Mr. Nian


    What? He turned to look at her.


    She was walking by his side, about shoulder height to him, even though she was rtively tall among other girls. However, maybe because he was extra tall and strong, she looked tiny beside him.


    The sunlight poured down through the gaps between the leaves on her pretty, ruddy face. He wanted to hold her in arms, but since they just built a rtionship, he decided to take things slow. He believed that she was only pretending to be cool.


    My hand Luosang gritted her teeth, reminding him.


    Nian Junting raised their hands. Her hand was snow-white, while his hand had a beautiful olive color. The colors of their skins were such a perfect match.


    Em, this hand needs a ring, he said.


    Luosang was speechless again.

 Chapter 169. It was as if Every Cell in His Body was Shouting ‘Compliment Me!

    Chapter 169. It was as if Every Cell in His Body was Shouting ��Compliment Me!''


    Luosang knocked her head. She used to think that she was smart, but now, she felt she was silly. Nian Xi and Nian Junting made it sound so real that all the others believed them.


    I dont think police officers can lie to people like that, can they? she asked.


    Nope. Thats why I told Nian Xi to pretend to not know us, Nian Junting exined. You dont have surveince cameras in your hallway, and they insisted that someone witnessed you take the money. So, it was quite difficult to prove that your innocence. In order to end the whole thing as quickly as possible, we came up with that idea. Checking for fingerprints was just the first step, as they could still exin. We just wanted to freak them out step by step and make them tell the truth. We couldnt start from Ni Miao, so we had to focus on He Ruyi.


    So you dont have any proof today, said Luosang knowingly. Nian Xi is amazing. Last year, she didnt seem to be so reliable. But after watching her deal with the case earlier today, I think she could be a greatwyer or prosecutor.


    Earlier this year, her police station sent her to another province for training. Shes got some improvement. Nian Junting nodded and said, Shescking good wrestling skills as a policewoman, so sometimes, I worry about her. Therefore, Ive been giving her quite some books about the public prosecutor examination recently. Hopefully, shell switch to another job. The rest of the family agrees with me. As for the idea today, that came from me


    While speaking, he paused slightly and nced at her.


    Luosang felt as if every cell in his body was even shoutingCompliment me now!


    Yeah In order to thank you, Ive even given myself to you, she said.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting raised his eyebrows, then nodded with satisfaction. But when raising his head, he found that his car was right in front of him. He knitted his brows, wondering why couldnt this road be longer.


    Your school is tiny, he said.


    Tiny? Luosang replied, Youd need to spend an entire hour to take a circle around our school.


    Nian Junting stopped walking, fixed his eyes on her, and said with a deep and charming voice, I dont know about that. I only know that weve walked to my car within a blink of an eye.


    Luosang gave a start. Her face blushed when she realized what he meant, and her heart began thumping.


    At that moment, he bent over and leaned his upper body forward.


    In her eyes, his handsome face was getting closer and closer to her.


    She even forgot to breathe, until a feather-light kissnded on her forehead.


    After that, she sighed slightly. She thought that he was going to kiss her.


    Are you disappointed? He smiled and said, Ill kiss you next time. Weve been in haste today, but I dont want to scare you.


    Im not disappointed, she said.


    Women never say what they mean. Ive been reading a book recently. The book says when a woman says no, she actually means yes, vice versa.


    Luosang clenched her teeth.


    Mr. Nian, she said, What kind of books have you been reading? Can you please stop reading it? I beg you.


    If you spend more time with me, Ill quit reading it. I might continue reading it if I get bored staying alone with nothing to do. Nian Junting gave a smile.


    Luosang sighed again. Arent you running a publicpany? How can you have nothing to do as you run such argepany?


    Ive earned too much money recently, so I n to rest for a while, he said.


    Luosang wanted to beat him. Mr. Nian, if you stay longer, I might bete for my ss.


    If he stayed longer, she might want to bite him.


    Em, alright, call me if anyone tries to bully you. After saying that, Nian Junting got into the car and left.

 Chapter 170. Toying with your feelings? Ive never flirted with you before, have I?

    Chapter 170. Toying with your feelings? I''ve never flirted with you before, have I?


    Luosang watched him drive away cockily, she was still gathering her thoughts about her new-found boyfriend. Am I going to have someone to take care of me in this city from now on? she thought.


    She believed that he had the capability to ede to all her requests and deal with Yi Jingxi as well.


    But she didnt want him to find out about her past, she didnt want him to think of her father as a federal criminal.


    At 10.20am, Luosang hurriedly entered the mass media studies ss conducted by Professor Wen. Immediately as she set foot into the ssroom, all eyes were on her. She walked bravely along the sides of the wall as people started pointing and whispering about her.


    She was used to it. Several boys who used to court her came up to her when she took her seat, Luosang, the forum is filled with posts about your boyfriend, is it true? I heard that he is a rich boy.


    Yeah, Luosang remembered what Nian Junting said to her. It was true that she attracted many males around her, but when she was in trouble, none of them rendered her assistance.


    These boys, they wanted to put down what they couldnt have.


    So, youve always had a boyfriend? Why didnt you tell us, were you out to y with our feelings? one of the boys said suddenly, he was mocking her.


    Luosangughed coldly, Toying with your feelings? Ive never flirted with you before, have I?


    You had a boyfriend but kept it from everyone, giving us false delusions. Youre purposely leading us on! the boy used her angrily.


    Its natural for pretty girls to have suitors. Youre being extremely childish right now, ming her for having a boyfriend after failing to gain her affection, Chi Shengxu appealed from behind. He swiftly lifted the boy by his cor and threw him to the side.


    Dont think Im afraid of you just because you are famous now, the boy was livid, Look at you,ing over to our faculty so frequently, I think you fancy Luosang as well. Too bad you dont stand a chance; dont you find it ridiculous being toyed around like that?


    Listen to how pathetic you sound, Chi Shengxu looked at the boy with despise and raised his fist, Be careful about what you say next. Im warning you right now, leave her alone for good.


    The boy twisted his lips and walked away huffily.


    Thank you, Luosang gave him a bright smile, she cant imagine what it would be like if her name wasnt cleared from the thievery case.


    I thought you already left, youre quite freetely, arent you? Ive been seeing you around quite frequently.


    I cant neglect my studies while juggling my job as an actor. The professors here dont care about how famous you are when ites to grading your assignments, Chi Shengsu took the seat next to her and opened his textbook, Your boyfriend left already?


    The term boyfriend caught her off guard, Yeah, he left, she replied after a second.


    Youre really seeing each other? Chi Shengxu looked at her meaningfully.


    Yes.


    Oh, I see, he said with disappointment, I thought he was just ying your boyfriend because of the theft.


    Luosang was surprised, he called it urately.


    Looks like I dont have a shot anymore, he shrugged his shoulders, I was nning to announce that I was chasing after you on the school forum when I heard about what happened. I thought I could vouch for your character, but I didnt want to invite more trouble for you.

 Chapter 171. Should I Call Him Tingting like Xiao Si?

    Chapter 171. Should I Call Him Tingting like Xiao Si?


    Luosang paused for a second, then smiled and responded with, Yeah, youre a star. If you tell the others Im your girlfriend, your fans would want to murder me. Perhaps, theyll even dig up my past story.


    I thought the same thing too. Chi Shengxu was a little down. Does your boyfriend know about your past?


    Luosang pressed her lips together and stayed silent.


    Only when the ss bell started ringing did she say, Earlier today, outside the dorm building, you trusted me, and you defended me. Ill never forget that.


    Dont mention it. Were friends. And I should be your only friend who knows your secret. Chi Shengxu winked at her.


    Luosang gave a smile. It was nice to have a friend like him.


    After ss, Yan Su was back. She and Luosang went to the canteen together for dinner. After ordering food, Luosang offered to pay.


    Seeing the bnce of Luosangs meal card was four-thousand, nine-hundred and eighteen, Yan Su gave a start and said, Didnt you say that youre in short of money recently? And youve been living on cheap food. Why did you order these expensive dishes and buy me dinner today? Have you gotten rich?


    Luosang coughed slightly, then replied with a low voice, Nian Junting topped up my card.


    Yan Su blinked with surprise, then said, You wont take advantage of someone, unless Is he really your boyfriend now?


    Luosang didnt know what to say, but wished that Yan Su didnt guess right.


    Seeing her remain silent, Yan Su covered her own forehead with a hand and said, My God, I only left for a few days. Mr. Nian is amazing.


    Hes not amazing. He set a trap for me, said Luosang.


    Well, he entrapped you anyway. Yan Su chuckled and continued, But seriously, Mr. Nian is so kind to you. Every time you were in trouble, he showed up like a hero. This time, if he didnt take care of Ni Miao, you might be ruined for real. Even Professor Ma might not be able to help you. Perhaps people will say that theres some kind of deal between you and Professor Ma. But now, everything is fine, and he topped up your meal card. Im so jealous of you.


    Dont say that in front of Mr. Nian, please. Luosang couldnt even imagine how proud Nian Junting be when he heard Yan Sus words.


    Still Mr. Nian? You should call him a different name. Yan Su naughtily winked at Luosang.


    Luosang paused.


    What should I call him then? Should I call him Tingting like Xiao Si did? He might want to beat me if I do.


    She couldnt bear calling him Junting, as that sounded way too intimate.


    She pondered for a while, but still wanted to call him Mr. Nian.


    Your department should have a Christmas show as well. You have good grades. You were selected for the show, werent you? Luosang asked.


    Hearing her, Yan Su dropped her eyes and said, Therell be a musical, but I only got six lines.


    Really? Youre not ranked number one, but your voice is known as the best in your department, Luosang frowned with surprise.


    Well, the top three have to take parts in the show, and some students with a background. Yan Su sighed helplessly and said, Just eat. I have to work at the bar after dinner.


    Yan Su, Ive been wanting to tell you that, that kind of a ce isnt safe. Why dont you find another job? asked Luosang.


    Yan Su shrugged and said, The ce Im working at isnt like what you imagine. Its fancy and well-managed. Normally, no one dares to start any trouble there. Besides, I need money for school. You know how much money we have to spend to study in an art school. My family doesnt want me to learn music. For that reason, Ive fallen out with my family when I left home for school. I have to work, because I dont have any other ie sources.

 Chapter 172. Old rules apply, whoever who finds a boyfriend must treat everyone else to a meal

    Chapter 172. Old rules apply, whoever who finds a boyfriend must treat everyone else to a meal


    Your your boyfriend didnt say he was going to help you out?


    Yan Su frowned and said sternly, He is strapped for cash too. Besides, were only dating, and I dont expect him to share my financial burdens at the moment. Who knows how things will turn out? I rather we work hard together.


    Luosang was quiet. Sometimes she saw how simr they were, and perhaps that was also the reason why they could get along so well.


    After dinner, Luosang returned to the dormitory. Before she could lie down, Tang Ning and Ye Chuen were back too.


    Chuen, howe you have time toe back today? Luosang turned over to look at her friend. She was barely keeping her eyes open.


    I heard about what happened to youst night, and I wanted to check on you. Are you ok? Ye Chuen said as she put down her bag around her shoulder.


    Its all over, Ye Chuen and Tang Ning had both called tofort her in the morning before she cleared things up. She remembered the warmth they showed her.


    Tang Ning picked up a ss of water and said, I cant believe how shameless Ni Miao would have to be in order to do such a nasty thing while were away. Did she really think that she was good enough to be the emcee at the Christmas event? As if any mediapany would sign her on. Fat hope.


    The students in the other faculties are alsopeting intensely for the limited spots at the Christmas event, Ye Chuen broke into a sly smile, I also heard about your longtime boyfriend. Howe none of us heard about this? What happened to our camaraderie?


    Luosang smiled but kept quiet.


    Tang Ning feigned annoyance and red at her, I tell you everything. Thats not very sisterly of you. Old rules apply, and whoever who finds a boyfriend must treat everyone else to a meal. Im not going to ask for too much. Im ok with sharks fin and abalone.


    Luosang felt awkward. Firstly, she had just started dating Nian Junting. Secondly, Ye Chuen was his distant rtive, like a younger sister she wasnt even sure if they could handle his snide remarks. He always said the nastiest things about Ye Chuen behind her back.


    Maybe give it some time, Luosang said patronizingly.


    Luoluo, what does your boyfriend do exactly? Ye Chuen was taking off her makeup, I saw a photo of a man holding your hand on the forum today, and he looked like a tall handsome man from the back.


    He runs his own business, Luosang managed to sputter out. She was forced into a rtionship, and she didnt want to give too many details so she continued, We actually just started seeing each other. Ill tell you guys more about him next time.


    Oh, I see, Ye Chuen nodded her head and turned her gaze towards Tang Ning, Its all your fault for losing your keys to the room. You have to be more careful next time. Lets get the lock changed in case something like this happens again.


    I know, I know, Im sorry guys, Tang Ning stuck out her tongue apologetically, Chuen, your birthday ising up, isnt it? I remember its on the 2nd next month. What gift do you want?


    Anything! My parents are nning to throw me a party at the vi this year, and Ill be inviting my rtives and some close friends. Ill need an emcee as well, so Luoluo, would you do me the favor? You take on gigs like these, dont you?


    Thats right! Luosang hosted a wedding banquet previously and I was so impressed. She didnt have any prior experience at all, and she even dressed up like an old spinster because she didnt want to steal the limelight away from the bride. She did such a terrific job! Luoluo, you can go into so many other fields if you choose not to do voice acting in the future, Tang Ning said teasingly.

 Chapter 173. But Im Not Thinking About You, Im just Thinking About Breakfast

    Chapter 173. But I''m Not Thinking About You, I''m just Thinking About Breakfast


    Luosang stayed silent for a while, then smiled and said, If its happening at your ce, I can host it for you. But if youre going to a grand hotel, I dont think I can do it. Im not a professional after all. You cant me me if anything goes wrong.


    Arent you going to host the Christmas show? Just think of it as a practice, Ye Chun smilingly took out a pad of paper from her bag.


    Thats said Luosang.


    The script of a musical. Im starring in the musical that our department will stage at the Christmas show, said Ye Chuen.


    Luosang pressed her lips together without saying anything. Ye Chuen was not as good as Yan Su in many aspects, yet she became one of the leading actors of the musical. Sometimes, backgrounds could mean everything. Fortunately, the broadcasting department wasnt aspetitive as the music and acting department.


    But still, Luosang couldnt ept all of this. Ye Chuen had been signed as a singer and was releasing her first album, while Yan Su hadnt even gotten a chance yet. Why didnt Ye Chuen share a little bit more of her opportunity at the Christmas show?


    The next morning, Luosang waited in a line for breakfast in the canteen. What she liked the most about her university was their rich breakfast. Sometimes, the people who lived nearby would sneak in to buy breakfast there.


    As she was thinking about what to eat for breakfast, her phone rang.


    She answered the call and asked, Whos calling?


    Havent you saved my number yet? A mans grumpy voice was heard from the phone.


    Luosang recognized that voice, and hurriedly exined, You didnt tell me your number. You just added me on WeChat.


    I didnt? The grumpy voice became cold. Then why do I remember calling you at the beachst time? Didnt you keep my number?


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Never mind. Back at that time, you probably didnt think that Id be generous enough to forgive you for what you did, Nian Junting continued. Save my number now, and memorize it.


    Memorize it? I dont think thats necessary, she said.


    It is necessary. Thats how Im different from the others. Besides, cant you memorize pretty much everything you read? he said.


    Alright, itll only take about ten seconds anyway, she said. Mr. Nian, why are you calling me? Im waiting to buy breakfast.


    Do I have to have a reason to call you? Nian Junting was unhappy again. He felt that Luosangcked the self-awareness as his girlfriend. Never mind, he thought, She has probably never been in a rtionship. I have no choice but to teach her step by step.


    You really are a foodie, he said.


    Luosang was a little impatient, feeling that it waspletely reasonable for women to love to eat. Mr. Nian, why are you calling me for no reason? You didnt miss me, did you?


    How could that be possible? I worried that you might miss me. Thats why I called you, he responded proudly.


    Yeah? Luosang smiled at the food behind the show window, said, But Im not thinking about you. Im just thinking about the breakfast.


    Nian Juntings face turned dark. This woman is so ungrateful. If I knew this, I wouldnt have put in so much money in her meal card yesterday. I wonder how she would eat without my money.


    Youre lying. You remember what I told you yesterday, dont you? he asked.


    Hearing him, Luosang remembered that Nian Junting was reading some kind of book which said that when women say no, they actually meant yes.


    So, she hurriedly changed her tone and said, I mean, I was trying to say that I did miss you


    You miss me? Then shall I send myself to you now? Nian Junting abruptly chuckled with a deep voice.


    Luosang wanted to bite her own tongue off.


    Forget it. I can never be as shameless as he is.

 Chapter 175. Youre A Happy Little Piglet in My Eyes

    Chapter 175. You''re A Happy Little Piglet in My Eyes


    Sister Lan said with surprise, This is finally happening! I thought you two had a chance, but Sangsang wouldnt believe me.


    What do you mean? Nian Junting asked. You knew about her real age long ago, didnt you?


    Sister Lan flinched and responded with, Sangsang told me to not tell you. She said that people think older carers are more experienced. Her life wasnt easy, so I kept her secret.


    Youve worked here for years, yet you lied to me with her. I might have to deduct half of your monthly wage, said Nian Junting frowningly.


    Sister Lans chubby face turned sour, as half of her monthly wage wasnt a small amount of money to lose.


    Unless you make up it to me. Nian Junting sat straight and slightly raised his eyebrows. From now on, you should contact Luosang more often. Tell her that you miss her, and invite her here. Remember, be natural, dont act like Im telling you to do so.


    Sister Lan nodded carefully.


    Now, tell me, how should I reply to her message? He pointed at his phone and said, Type for me.


    Sister Lan picked up the phone. She spent a while thinking hard, then slowly put in a lineBefore, I was trying to say that you were like a happy little piglet in my eyes, followed by a series of heart emojis.


    Nian Junting took the phone and nced at the line. His face blushed. He nced at Sister Lan meaningfully, then said, Sister Lan, I didnt know that you could be a little girl on the inside.


    Sister Lans chubby face blushed.


    Nian Junting sent the message to Luosang.


    One minute passed, and she didnt reply. Five minutes passed, and she still didnt reply.


    He called Sister Lan with discontent and asked her, Why didnt she reply? Is the message not good enough?


    Sister Lan wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. She was a cook, but she also needed to help her young master to deal with his rtionship with his girlfriend.


    Young Master, I think Sangsang is feeling shy. If I was her, Id feel shy when suddenly receiving your sweet words.


    Is she? Nian Junting nodded seriously after hearing Sister Lan. Luosang would have rosy cheeks when she felt shy. He wanted very much to go and see her with his own eyes, but sadly, he couldnt disturb her, as she had ss.


    In theputer room, Luosang sat down. Her phone rang again as soon as she sat down. Seeing Mr. Nian sh on the screen of her phone, her heart missed a beat.


    As more and more ssmates turned to her, she answered the phone and said, Mr. Nian, my ss is beginning.


    Dont try to fool me. I saw your schedule yesterday in your dorm. Your ss doesnt start for five minutes.


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched slightly. No wonder he was staring at her schedule back in her dorm yesterday. As a capitalist, he was farsighted indeed.


    Why didnt you reply to my message on WeChat? After checking his phone over and over again, Nian Junting couldnt help but call Luosang again on his way to thepany.


    Thinking about that message, Luosang blushed scarlet. Earlier, during breakfast, she read that message, and even dropped her phone on the table out of surprise.


    Was that message sent by you?


    Em, any problem?


    I thought your phone was hacked That didnt sound like something you would say, Mr. Nian. The series of heart emojis shocked her so much that she couldnt even bear to reply the message.


    Things were natural when she was with Yi Jingxi, but with Nian Junting, she often felt a little strange. But of course, it was mostly because she hadnt yetpletely epted the fact that she now had a boyfriend, who was narcissistic, proud, and sometimes evil.

 Chapter 176. I will only shower you with words of affirmation

    Chapter 176. I will only shower you with words of affirmation


    Luosang and Nian Junting were arguing over the phone.


    Did I?


    Yeah, you used to so often attack me with your words.


    I never meant to hurt you, Nian Junting replied meaningfully, I just let out the truth by mistake.


    Can you please not blurt out the truth so frequently? Luosang thought.


    But if you dont like that way I spoke to you in the past, then I will change. I will only shower you with words of affirmation from now on, he said.


    Luosang felt a gush of warmth wash over her heart as she mulled over what he had just promised. Her cheeks were hot and red. Did he have to be so cheesy?


    She had ssester. How was she supposed to concentrate now?


    I know youre going to stay at the library til 4:20pm today. Ille to pick you up. Dont reject me again. Ill leave you alone for now. Have a good time at your lessons, bye.


    After the call ended, Luosang was overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions. As she opened herptop, she found it hard to concentrate on the screen before her.


    Ay thats why people warn against dating while youre studying. No matter how hard you try, youll still be distracted, Luosang thought.


    At 4pm when she left the library, Luosang received a call from Professor Ma, Sansan,e over to my house. I need to talk to you about something.


    Ok, Professor Ma usually talked to her over the phone, so it must be something important if he asked her to make a trip down. She had to call Nian Junting to tell him to wait for her.


    At Professor Mas ce, she took off her shoes and both Professor Ma and Producer Yuan greeted her in the living room.


    She had figured out what Professor Ma had wanted to talk to her about.


    It had been a while since she went to find Zhong Yi,and she thought that there might be a chance that Zhong Yi chose to let the matter go. She thought too naively.


    Luosang, you havent been picking up my calls. I had no choice but toe to Professor Ma, Producer Yuan said disappointedly, You promised me then that you were going toe up with a solution for the mess you made, but I found out that you ended up offending more people. At first, I didnt know who you offended, but I recently found out that Yi Jingxi went around the entertainment industry and warned people against hiring you so I guessed that he was the one that you offended. The web drama is now on hold in the process of selection and approval. If I still cant sell the project, then Ill really be pushed to the edge along with the other directors. Well have to jump off a building with our mountainous debts.


    Professor Ma looked at Luosang helplessly, Sansan I know youre in a difficult position, but I was the one who introduced you to Producer Yuan


    Luosang felt a chill shiver over her entire body, Im the one that implicated you all, and I really wish that I could help, but while I was there Yi Jingxi was obviously just making a fool out of me


    Producer Yuan looked at her, Actually, given how pretty you are, if a man creates trouble for you he could just


    Alright, old Yuan. You shouldnt say these things to Luosang, Professor Ma interrupted him


    Do you have a better solution then? Producer Yuan was anxious, Old Ma, I used her because you were the one who rmended Luosang to me. Are you really going to watch me jump off the building?


    Professor Ma looked down in guilt.


    Luosang bit on her bottom lip. It was all her fault that Professor Ma was implicated in this matter, Producer Yuan may I ask how much debt will you be in if you can broadcast the show?


    Professor Ma raised his brows, Luosang, you cant be nning to pay off debts on his behalf. Its not a small sum you know. Its 30,000,000 dors! If I could help you at all, then I would only be able to fork out 5,000,000 at the most.


    Luosang was quiet.


    She didnt even have three thousand dors in her bank ount.

 Chapter 177. He was Stirred Right now, and he Hadnt been Stirred like this for a long time

    Chapter 177. He was Stirred Right now, and he Hadn''t been Stirred like this for a long time


    Of course, she could borrow money from Nian Junting. However, he was a little paranoid, so Luosang wasnt sure how he would think of her if she asked to borrow that much money from him. After all, they had just built a rtionship. Currently, their rtionship was based on equal footing, but if he lent her money, she might feel that she was a grade lower than him.


    Besides, Nian Junting had never told her that he liked her. Perhaps he was just driven by his pride, and he wanted to be with her only because she had rejected him.


    Even though her rtionship with Nian Junting started suddenly and inexplicably, Luosang didnt want it to be dirtied by money.


    A whileter, Luosang made up her mind and said, Professor Ma, dont worry about me. Ill go beg Yi Jingxi.


    No matter how, she couldnt put Professor Ma, who had helped her so much, in a difficult situation.


    Supervisor Yuan agreed immediately. Yeah, youre so pretty. Just back down. We have no choice. No one in the film and industry circle has the guts to go against Yi Jingxi. Im telling you the truth. As long as you still want a ce in this circle, you need to get through this.


    Luosang remained silent.


    Supervisor Yuan was right. She couldnt keep ignoring this problem.


    It was after five oclock when she returned to school.


    Nian Junting was pacing under the ne tree before the school gate, hands resting in pockets. He was tall, strong, and handsome, but his entire body radiated a scary coldness. Therefore, even though he was very attractive, the girls passing by only asionally nced at him; none dared ost him.


    Luosang ran to him with a guilty feeling, saying, Sorry. My professor had something to talk to me. I didnt think it would take so long.


    Ive waited for you for fifty minutes. Nian Junting tapped his expensive watch with his brows knitted. No one has ever kept me waiting so long. Youre the first one.


    My bad, my bad. Luosang wouldnt stop nodding. But, since Im your girlfriend now, isnt it reasonable for you to wait for me?


    Hearing her say the word girlfriend, Nian Junting felt slightly better. However, he was still angry. Its just the first day, yet youre already exercising your right as girlfriend, arent you?


    Yeah. Youve rented yourself to me as my boyfriend, and youre unreturnable. Since it has be a real thing, of course Im exercising this right. Luosang was a little out of breath because of the running, and her cheeks were rosy.


    The light of the falling sun poured on her entire body. Her long eyshes pped like a pair of tiny hand fans.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes,then abruptly held her face with both hands.


    You what do you want? Luosang was startled.


    Youve exercised your girlfriends right, so I should exercise my boyfriends right as well. Nian Junting lowered his head to kiss her squeezed lips.


    However, he didnt manage to kiss her lipsjust the back of her hands.


    What are you doing? Nian Junting frowned.


    Luosang smilingly dragged his hands off her face and said, Mr. Nian, have you heard people say that youll always get stirred by what you cant get?


    Nian Junting didnt respond.


    He didnt know who had said that, but he did feel so. He was stirred right now, and he hadnt been stirred like this for a long time.


    The smiling beautiful woman in front of him was a lot younger than him, yet he felt that she was amazing. No wonder he fell into her trap step by step. She was cruelly tantalizing him.


    I was right. She is trying everything she can to entrap me.

 Chapter 178. Yeah, you are my little vixen

    Chapter 178. Yeah, you are my little vixen


    After a while, Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly, I get it now, you were trying to stir me up when you first rejected me, werent you?


    Luosang looked at him in shock, why did he bring up the past again?


    No


    Forget it, I only have myself to me for being tempted so easily, falling for your trap, Nian Junting remarked, No wonder my mother said that girls nowadays were all full of fresh tricks, different from the vixens and hoes from her time.


    Luosang wished that she could take back her words.


    She knew that he liked to twist words and live in his own imagination, she should have been more careful with what she said.


    Mr. Nian, there are still many vixens in our time


    Yeah, you are my little vixen, Nian Junting said and grabbed her hand.


    Luosang stared into the handsome face, she thought that there must be something wrong with her. Her heart was beating rapidly and she could feel flutters in her stomach after hearing the words of this narcissist.


    People do turn a little strange after hanging out with a strange person for too long, Luosang thought.


    Um Mr. Nian, wheres your car? Where did you park? Luosangs best coping mechanism was to just change the topic before he could kill the conversation.


    Theres no parking space avable here, so I parked at the back about five minutes away.


    Luosang was surprised and eximed, I didnt expect someone as obnoxious as you to obey trafficws.


    Nonsense. Im not an obnoxious guy, Nian Junting said defensively.


    Luosang felt something ufortable in her throat.


    Nian Junting pulled her along and continued, Obnoxious is used to describe an unreasonable person. Have I ever been unreasonable before? Every time I act out, I deal with people who need to be taught a lesson.


    Luosang nodded her head in contemtion. He was right, she had never seen him abuse his authority before, except with Mr. Lin.


    Of course, I must abide by traffic rules, Nian Junting pursed his lips and lowered his gaze, I had a buddy in the army who got injured in a mission after being posted to the anciry police force. On his way to the hospital, there was a terrible traffic jam and the ambnce was stuck in the middle of heavy traffic. The traffic police couldnt clear the path in time and hence, he couldnt get to medical help in time.


    Luosang was shocked. Her throat felt dry and she didnt know what to say.


    I had anotherrade who became a fireman after he was posted out, Nian Junting took a brief pause before continuing, He told me that 90% of the times they were on an emergency run, they were dyed by traffic jams. Time for these firemen are extremely crucial, every second count and it trantes into the number of lives they could save. We shouldnt park our cars haphazardly and inconvenient others no matter how busy we are.


    Hmm, Luosang agreed, she was impressed with what he just said.


    It was rare for the rich and the privileged to show public consideration and consciousness, and to abide by trafficws and protect the environment.


    For Nian Junting to have such upright principles, he must have been brought up well by his parents.


    She thought about the men she had encountered before in the past. So few of them had admirable principles like he did.

 Chapter 179. I Guess Sister Lan only Knows that I Have A Good Appetite for Tofu and Cabbage

    Chapter 179. I Guess Sister Lan only Knows that I Have A Good Appetite for Tofu and Cabbage


    Mr. Nian, you have a lot of army friends. Last time, I heard from Lu Kang that Xiaosi was a gift from an army friend of yours.


    Em. Hearing Luosang mentioning that man, Nian Junting frowned slightly. But soon, he chuckled and responded, Already trying to know about my friends? You havent even known me well enough yet. Be patient. I know youre doing all of this for me. Sooner orter, youll get to meet my friends.


    Luosang didnt say anything, but felt like beating him.


    After five minutes of walking, Luosang saw a giant, off-road vehicle parked under a tree.


    She got in the car, buckled up, then nced at the backseat and asked, Didnt you bring Xiaosi?


    Nope. As he had sessfully made her sit by his side willingly, he couldnt think of a reason to bring the dog again. Youll see himter, and Sister Lan, he said.


    Youre not taking me to the vi for a meal, are you? The corner of Luosangs mouth twitched slightly, as she felt a little ufortable.


    Yeah. The food outside isnt hygienic, he nced at her, then started the car. Its clean and safe to eat at home. Didnt you always say that you like Sister Lans food the most? Earlier I called her and told her that Id bring you back for dinner. Shes happy about it. After the call she went to the market to buy the vegetables that you like. You see, how can you disappoint her?


    Does Sister Lan know what I like? Luosang rubbed her own forehead and said sarcastically, Thanks to you, we used to eat your leftovers. I guess Sister Lan only knows that I have a good appetite for tofu and cabbage.


    I was troubled by my physical inconvenience at that time, so I was often in a bad mood, Nian Junting exined.


    So youll make people live on tofu and cabbage when youre unhappy. Got it. Luosang said knowingly, Back then, Xiaosi could eat beef noodles while I was only allowed to watch him. That part of my life remains fresh in my memory.


    Nian Junting frowned slightly.


    This woman can really bear grudges. Shes even mentioning something happened so long ago.


    Em, I can see that youre quite unhappy about it. Should I make Xiaosi watch you eat tonight? he asked.


    Luosang was speechless.


    Thats a deal then. You can do whatever you want to Xiaosi tonight, and I wont mind. After all, Xiaosi cant bepared with you, he gave a smile and continued. Then, he looked forward and said, Alright, dont disturb me, I need to focus on driving.


    Looking at his perfect side profile, Luosang cursed him in her head over and over again.


    I dont want Xiaosi to watch me eat. Xiaosi didnt bully me back thenyou did! So shameless.


    The more she thought about that, the unhappier she was. Atst, she said grumpily, I dont want to have dinner in Tianhu Vi. Its too far away. I need toe back at night.


    I didnt say that you cante back. What are you thinking about? Nian Junting kept looking straight ahead and said, I just want to have dinner together with you somewhere quiet. Dont overthink. And Sister Lan really misses you. You saw her yesterday. Dont you feel that she has lost some weight? She told me that its because youre not with her and shes unused to it.


    Luosang remembered the days she spent with Sister Lan, and felt that she was truly a nice person. Before, Sister Lan always sneakily save good food for her. However, recalling Sister Lan yesterday, Luosangs face darkened slightly.


    I dont think Sister Lan has lost weight. She looked just the same as before, she said.


    She did lose weight. She told me that herself, Nian Junting said. Maybe you just cant tell.


    Luosang pressed her lips together. She didnt say anything, but started paying attention to her phone instead.

 Chapter 180

    Chapter 180


    At six oclock, the car drove into the vi.


    The vi was lit up.


    Steward Wu was ying with Xiaosi in the frontwn. When they pulled closer to the front door, Xiaosi ran over to them clumsily.


    Luosang bent over and scratched Xiaosis head affectionately. Nian Junting grinned in the background and asked Steward Wu, Is dinner ready?


    Steward Wu looked at Luosang and said, Something happened to Sister Lans grandson, she took a call and headed out in a hurry.


    Oh really? Oh dear, Nian Junting frowned. He turned and looked at Luosang, I didnt expect that to happen.


    Luosang was puzzled. Shouldnt he show some concern for Sister Lans family? His expression now


    Steward Wu, is everything ok with her grandson? What happened to him? Luosang asked.


    Steward Wu looked taken aback and scratched his ears, I think he got injured after getting to a fight.


    He must be hurt quite badly for his grandma to rush over like this, Luosang nodded her head in worry, Should I drop by and send my regards? Maybe I can get them a fruit basket or something.


    Forget about that. You dont even have money for yourself. Ill get them something, Nian Junting pulled her towards the vi, We probably cant eat out tonight because most of the fancy restaurants would be fully booked by now. I dont trust the hygiene standards of any other restaurants. I guess you have no choice but to cook us dinner.


    Luosang stopped short in her tracks, Mr. Nian, why must I cook us dinner? Im no longer your nanny; Im your girlfriend now. As your girlfriend, this is the first time Iming over for a meal and youre asking me to cook for you? Shouldnt you cook for me?


    I cant cook, Nian Junting said matter-of-factly.


    But you said that my food wasnt good in the past, Luosang raised her brows.


    Nian Junting tried his best to remain calm and collected, I wasnt physically well then, and I couldnt move around by myself so my appetite affected as well. On hindsight, I think you did a good job catering to my preferences.


    Your appetite was affected? You wiped the bowls clean after every meal, Luosang thought.


    No one could beat him at being shameless.


    Its ok, I can teach you how to cook, Luosang didnt want to spoil him in case he got used to it.


    Nian Junting took a double take. He didnt expect things to turn out this way. He told Sister Lan to make something up to leave them alone. He had wanted to taste her food, and it had been quite a while after all. He didnt tell her straight because he thought that shell refuse right away.


    I


    All men know how to cook now, Luosang batted her eyelids at him, Men who cant cook are eliminated from the eligible pool.


    Youre talking about ordinary men, but I am different. I have a cook, servants, and butlers. Theres no need for me to pick up culinary skills, Nian Junting said casually. He hated the oil and grease of the kitchen.


    Oh really? Ive seen plenty of rich and sessful men who are also great in the kitchen. Its not that they cant afford a cook for themselves,but they do it for the fun of it, and to pamper their wives or girlfriends, Luosang shrugged her shoulders, Of course, we can forget about it if you really dont care about cooking. We can go to those restaurants that you deem unqualified or maybe we can get Steward Wu to buy us some cup noodles.

 Chapter 181. Luo, Youre the Master of Flirting

    Chapter 181. Luo, You''re the Master of Flirting


    As Luosang refused to cook determinedly, Nian Junting knitted his brows.


    No wonder people say that women are only attentive when pursuing men. Now that Ive be her boyfriend, so she wont cherish me anymore.


    A whileter, he said with a low voice, Alright, Ill cook.


    He was so bad at self-control, and let himself get bagged by her so easily. He considered it his own fault.


    Luosang put the apron on him by herself, then stood beside him to teach him while peeling grapes.


    Nian Junting turned back to watch her peeling grapes. He thought shed put the peeled grapes in his mouth, but to his surprise, all the grapes disappeared into her pink lips.


    Dont you think its awful to eat alone?


    Okay. Luosang gave a smile, then put a peeled grape near his mouth. He opened his mouth to bite it, but then she abruptly pulled her hand back and put the grape into her own mouth.


    Nian Junting could scarcely believe what had just happened. It was the first time in his life he had gotten tricked by someone.


    Luo


    I had a second thought, she responded. Why should I peel grapes for you? Im not your carer anymore. She blinked her dark and bright eyes, smiling like a fox.


    Nian Junting wanted to get mad, but somehow, he felt that the naughty Luosang looked extremely adorable. When she was his carer, she was always serious and quiet, so he had hardly seen her act like this. He wanted to hold her in his arms and give her a big kiss.


    As he was in a daze, the oil popped loudly in the pot and sshed on his face, made his handsome face twist in pain.


    Luosang hurriedly turned down heat and asked him, Are you alright?


    The pain was nothing to Nian Junting, as he was a former special-forces soldier. However, when seeing the concern in her eyes, he automatically knitted his brows and said, My face hurts.


    Let me see, Luosang stood on her tiptoes and held his face in her hands. Finding arge red area on his right cheek, she said, What can I say? Youve injured your face when cooking.


    Em Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her face without blinking. From such a short distance, her forehead looked smooth, her nose was straight and pretty, and her lips were pink and moisturized. Her bright eyes reflected his face, making his heart thump. Without thinking, he lowered his head and gave her a kiss.


    Luosang gave a start, then raised her head to look at his dark eyes.


    Her heart missed a beat. A whileter, she bit her own lips, which had turned burning hot after being kissed by him, and said, Mr. Nian, how could you do that without my permission?


    I was stirred just now, Nian Junting replied with an innocent tone. Luo, youre the master of flirting.


    Luosang didnt even know what to say, as she felt a little like going crazy. She didnt understand who was flirting with who.


    When did I flirt with you? I was just checking your face, she said.


    I dont know. Perhaps I saw that you cared so much about me, so I wanted to kiss you. Nian Junting smiled and added, You looked beautiful just now.


    Luosang blushed, and she couldnt calm herself down.


    Mr. Nian, she said, Go apply some medicine to your face. Ill cook.


    She believed that she was wrong for letting him cook.


    No. I discovered that I love cooking. Nian Junting picked up the pot and said, Tell me what should I do next.


    Luosang rubbed her own head, then continued teaching him.


    Sadly, he wasnt cut out for cooking. He was burned with hot oil for a few more times, and the two tes of food he made were both burned and ck. Atst, she seized the pot from his hand and pushed him out of the kitchen.

 Chapter 182. Luoluo, I wont kiss you. Come help me put on the ointment

    Chapter 182. Luoluo, I won''t kiss you. Come help me put on the ointment


    At 7 oclock, Luosang brought all the dishes out to the table. There was only the sound of television ying in the background. Nian Junting got up from the couch and walked towards thewn.


    Luosang found it strange and proceeded to set the table. By the time she was done, Nian Junting brought Xiaosi over to the dining room and ordered, Sit here and watch Luoluo eat.


    See, Im helping you teach him a lesson, Nian Junting looked at her.


    Mr. Nian is it really necessary to bully a dog like this, Luosang rolled her eyes, Xiaosi only listens to you anyway.


    No, but hes super rebellious and he doesnt even obey mymands.


    Luosang wanted tough at him lying through his teeth, but she pitied Xiaosi too.


    Ignore him Xiaosi. Ill fix you up something good, Luosang picked up a piece of pork rib and ced it into the dog bowl.


    Xiaosi wagged his tail happily and took a bite of the pork rib.


    Luosang was swooning over Xiaosi as she watched him eat her food with bliss. Just as she was about to take another pork rib for Xiaosi, Nian Junting slid the te away from her.


    This would be mine so feed Xiaosi this instead, he pushed his te of ck tarry chicken towards her.


    You should eat what you made yourself, Luosang was speechless.


    Its no good, Nian Junting shook his head.


    Luosang wasmenting in her mind about how he was being honest for once before saying out loud, Well we finally found an imperfection in your entire being.


    Yup, and now Im befitting of imperfect you arent I? I do have some ws, just to keep things down-to-earth, Nian Junting ran his index finger along his lower lip in amusement.


    Luosang red at him angrily before deciding to ignore him and focus on her dinner.


    Nian Junting picked up his chopsticks, started eating her food, and it was delicious. He hadnt had it for a long while and he missed the taste of her food dearly. He could eat this for the rest of his life.


    As he munched on, he found the atmosphere ufortably quiet, he quickly realized that Luosang wasnt even looking at him anymore.


    Whats the matter with you?


    I dont speak at mealtimes. Its basic table manners, Luosang replied him coldly.


    Nian Junting frowned and kept quiet, but he slowly shifted his chair closer to hers and whispered, My cheeks are fiery hot and it stings.


    Luosang gave him a side nce and said sympathetically, I thought I told you to put some ointment on. Wheres Steward Wu?


    I told him that we were going to have some private time. Hes out in the backyard, and I dont know where he puts the ointment.


    Private time sounded a tad too scandalous and made Luosang blush a little so she stood up and said, Sister Lan used to keep it beneath the wine cab; let me go check.


    After a moment, she found the ointment exactly where she had predicted.


    She threw the ointment for burns at Nian Junting, Rub it on yourself.


    I cant see my face.


    Use the mirror in the toilet.


    Nian Junting stayed where he was and said with a chuckle, Luoluo, are you afraid that I would kiss you again without your permission if youe too close to me?


    He said exactly what was on her mind and she couldnt help but blush and say, So long as you know.


    Luoluo, I wont kiss you. Come help me put on the ointment, Nian Junting shoved the tube of medication into her hands.


    Luosang locked her eyes onto his dark pupils and she felt her heart flutter. She had never felt this way before when she was with Yi Jingxi previously. He was more arrogant than Yi Jingxi, but Nian Junting was


    Alright, but if you break your promise, then Ill ignore you for a week, Luosang said as she unboxed the ointment. A sparkly object rolled out of the box andnded on the floor with a ding.

 Chapter 183

    Chapter 183


    What is it? Luosang walked over and asked. When she saw it clearly, she paused for two seconds, then bent over and picked it up.


    It was a dazzling diamond ring with a pink stone in the center, surrounded by two rings of small diamonds.


    She gave a start.


    Do you like it?


    She heard his voice, as deep as a cello.


    As I said, your hands need a ring, he said.


    Luosang stared at the ring for quite a while, until he lost patience and picked up the ring to put it on her ring finger.


    Mr. Nian She flinched and said, You only wear a ring on that finger when you get married or engaged.


    She remembered that once, a man had kneeled on one knee and put a ring on her ring finger. She thought that she would be with him for the rest of her life, yet in the end, he took everything away from her.


    For a moment, she was in a trance.


    Yeah? Nian Junting paused. He raised his head to look at her, then asked, Do you want to marry me?


    What?


    If youre not thinking about marrying me, whyre you staring at your ring finger? Didnt you say that people only wear rings on that finger when they get married or engaged? Nian Junting smiled proudly, Dont think that far yet. Lets do it step by step.


    I wasnt thinking about marrying you, she said. I was thinking about something else.


    What can you possibly think when youre with me? Nian Juntings face suddenly darkened. Youre not thinking about another man, are you? Who is he? Chi Shengxu? Huang Qingyang?


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. Chi Shengxu, she could understand, but why Huang Qingyang?


    Im not


    Good then. Nian Junting nodded and fixed his dark eyes on her. Im not a narrow-minded person. But you can only think about me when youre with me. You cant think about other men or women. Well, except for your mother.


    Luosang honestly didnt know how to continue this conversation.


    Since you cant wear it on this finger, just wear it on your middle finger. Nian Junting took the ring off her ring finger to put it on her middle finger. However, before the ring was put onto her finger, she drew back her hand.


    Mr. Nian, this ring is too expensive We just started this rtionship not long ago, so I dont think its appropriate for you to give me this now.


    Its not expensive; just about a hundred thousand. I thought of your concerns. I dont mind its price, but I worried that you might feel pressure. Therefore, I chose a cheap one.


    A hundred thousand A cheap one I really dont understand the world of rich people.


    Mr. Nian, if I wear this in ss, Ill catch so much attention. Luosang tried again. The ring might be inexpensive to him, but to her, it was way too valuable.


    So what? Dont all your schoolmates know that you now have a tall, handsome, and rich boyfriend? Nian Junting held her hands tight, slightly opened his sexy mouth and said, Luosang, even though youre only my girlfriend now, I still want to give you all the best.


    Almost all the women in the world would be touched by what he just said.


    Luosangs heart thumped. She raised her head to look at him. Under themplight, his handsome face had a faint and warm yellow color; even his eyes, which had be cold and sharp for the business world, now looked scorching hot.


    In terms of appearance, he was spotlessly handsome.


    Regarding demeanor, he was excellent.


    He had lots of shorings too and often made people want tough and cry at the same time. Sometimes, Luosang even wanted to stitch his lips together. However, he showed up many times when she was in trouble or danger. Maybe he hadnt realized that yet, but he always made her feel being cared for; he kept her sheltered and protected.


    Perhaps, if she hadnt meet Yi Jingxi, she would never have been touched by a man like Nian Junting.

 Chapter 184

    Chapter 184


    But it was her toxic rtionship with Yi Jingxi that taught her to value qualities like honesty and transparency in a man.


    Nian Junting examined her expression. She looked stunned and in deep contemtion. He drew closer to her face, and Luosang could smell the mint in his breath.


    The oxygen around them became scarce.


    Luosangs brains were in a mush, and she slowly closed her eyes.


    Nian Juntings heart was thumping like a rabbit as he stared hard at her plump lips. He still remembered how magical it was to kiss herst time, but just as he drew closer and closer, a loud thump pounded on the door. Xiao Sis loud voice rang through the doorway.


    Tingting, have you eaten? Im here to visit you! I heard that youve stopped going out of the house to have fun after being rejected by Sansan. What dating books are you cooped up at home with anyway?


    Luosang was jolted back to reality and pushed Nian Junting away.


    Nian Juntings face was clouded with dark lines as he watched the atmosphere shatter.


    Xiao Si entered the living room and looked at them both. Nian Junting and Luosang were standing at arms length now and his brother looked tense. Nian Junting red at him with a piercing gaze. The girl next to Nian Junting was wearing denim jeans and a pastel blue sweater. She had her hair up in a loose bun and was exuding elegance and beauty just standing there.


    He paused before saying borately, Excuse me, my beautifuldy, please dont misunderstand. Sansan isnt a person


    If Im not a person, then what am I? Luosang turned around and faced him.


    Xiao Sis jaw dropped and hurriedly regained hisposure, Youre a beauty! A great beauty. Sansan, I didnt realize how young and beautiful you were. I must have had poor vision or something. If I had seen it before, I would have courted you myself. Are you with Tingting already? Maybe you can consider me? Im much more outstanding than he is


    Scram, Nian Junting blocked his advancing footsteps and put an arm around Luosangs shoulders, Shes my girlfriend now.


    No way Sansan. You boarded the pirate ship so quickly? Xiao Si looked extremely disappointed, How could you forget all the hardships you went through when you were taking care of Tingting? He was so mean to you.


    Shut up, Nian Junting red at him again. He wanted to tear Xiao Si up into a million pieces. Xiao Si had ruined his perfect moment with Luosang, and now he had his eyes on his girlfriend, What exactly are you here for? I have a girlfriend now, and I dont have time to fool around with you. You should take your leave promptly.


    Luosang held back a smile. The two of them were truly frenemies, and they detested one another.


    You are so cold and heartless. How could you forget me after getting a girlfriend? Xiao Si had decided to walk towards the dining table to inspect the dishes. Did you make these, Sansan? I havent tasted your cooking in so long. I shall have my dinner here since I havent had the chance to eat yet.


    He helped himself with the rice and sat himself down and started digging in.


    Nian Juntings face was distorted with anger since he had put in a great deal of effort to get Luosang to cook for him. The food was limited already, and there he was, gorging himself on the food before him.


    Oh right, what did you say about dating manuals before? Luosang asked.


    Nian Junting froze, Did he say anything about that? I didnt hear him say anything about dating manuals, did you mishear something?


    Luosang remained silent but continued to stare at him as he froze up.


    Xiao Si looked at the both of them as he continued eating. It was rare for him to see his brother freeze in embarrassment like that. He was intrigued and excited to see more of what was toe.

 Chapter 185. Have You Been Reading the Guides on Sweet Talking at Home?

    Chapter 185. Have You Been Reading the Guides on Sweet Talking at Home?


    Xiao Si chucked and continued, Tingting, why did you deny? Because of Sangsang, youve been learning how to sweet talk for days. I think youve learned something useful, right? Otherwise, how did you manage to suddenly turn Sangsang into your girlfriend?


    Enough, Nian Junting threw a threatening nce at Xiao Si, face blushed to a deep pink, You seem quite unupied. Ill talk to Manager Nie. You should go to Africa to do that marketing research


    No, no, Im sorry. I suddenly remembered that I still have tons of files to read at home. Im leaving. Hearing that, Xiao Si hurriedly stuffed his mouth with rice and two pieces of ribs, then waved at Luosang while chewing. Sangsang,e to thepany someday. We can hang out. Bye, he said.


    After Xiao Si left, the dining room quieted down. Nian Junting sat down and said, Youre my girlfriend. If you want to hang out, you should find me. Why would you want to hang out with him? Lets eat. The food is getting cold.


    Luosang looked at him, smiling with her eyes. Have you been reading guides on sweet talking at home? she asked.


    Eh-hem. Choking on rice, Nian Junting coughed and showed an embarrassed expression. How can you believe Xiao Sis words?


    Luosang quietly looked at the embarrassed Nian Junting and felt that he was quite adorable. No wonder he has said such flirtatious words these days.


    I dont believe him, she said, How could you possibly read the guides of sweet talk? You should be reading the guides of how to entrap a girl.


    Nian Junting didnt respond.


    He had been studying hard every day, and he was certainly not reading guides on how to entrap a girl. He was a little unhappy, yet he couldnt exin why.


    And, nothing happened to Sister Lans grandson, right? You asked her to find an excuse to leave, because you want me to cook for you, she continued.


    Nian Junting forced a smile and said, You have a good imagination. Sister Lans food is much more delicious than yours, so why would I need you to cook for me?


    Mr. Nian, dishonesty is a disease. You should find a cure for it, said Luosang in a gentle voice, If you really prefer Sister Lans food, I wont set foot in the kitchen next time.


    Nian Junting wanted to bite his tongue off, as this wasnt quite like how he imagined.


    What do you say? Luosang raised her eyes and continued, Actually, theres nothing wrong to frankly tell people about how you feel sometimes. If you dont tell me, and I cant guess right, Ill never be able to know you.


    Nian Junting kept his lips pressed together for a while, then said in a muffled voice, Em, I wanted the food you made, but I worried that you might not want toe here. So I thought of an excuse to make youe here first, okay? While he was speaking, his ears turned rosy.


    Done talking, he red at Luosang, then started gobbling down his food.


    Seeing the embarrassing look in his face, Luosang gave a smile.


    Hes really like a little boy. Now I know why people always say that men can be childish sometimes.


    She felt quite good in the moment. It was a rare chance to see him be like this, so she felt like she had finally paid her revenge.


    Nice, she said to herself.


    Nian Junting spent a while eating, then raised his head and said to her, Now that Ive told you how I feel, when you have time, will youe here more often to cook for me? As the old saying goes, if you want a mans heart, you need you to win his stomach first.


    No, Im busy. Luosang shook her head and replied, I already have your stomach, so why would I want your heart?


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say.


    He was nearly thirty years old, but today, for the very first time in his life, he was defeated for a couple of times in a row.


    He med his stomach.


    After dinner, Luosang applied some medicine onto Nian Juntings face, then sat on the couch to watch TV and eat fruit.


    Nian Junting sat beside her, watching her eat grapes and oranges and other fruits.

 Chapter 186. Anyway Mr. Nian, you even know about the girls unbuckling their belts, are you also…

    Chapter 186. Anyway Mr. Nian, you even know about the girls unbuckling their belts, are you also��


    Hmm, so she has simr preferences as me. I never realized it before, Nian Junting thought.


    I want some too, he said bossily, Peel them for me.


    Luosang picked up his hand and stuffed a grape into his palm, Mr. Nian, you are able and not handicapped so peel them yourself. Werent you peeling and cutting your own fruits before I met you?


    Yeah, after you left. I only ate fruits that didnt require much prep work, Nian Junting said cheekily, Youve spoiled me.


    Luosang was speechless.


    She was acting under hismand previously.


    Back then she swallowed so much anger and frustration while serving him.


    My apologies, Mr. Nian, you must be confused. I was your caretaker then, so I had to take care of you. Now that you are my boyfriend, its your turn to serve me.


    Luosang was feeling pleased with herself. She remembered that she promised herself to make him pay should he fall in love with her one day. Of course, she wasnt sure if he was in love with her yet, but he did ask her to be his girlfriend.


    He practically begged her to mistreat him.


    Nian Junting was taken aback. Impossible, my friends girlfriends all treat them like a king. They feed and clothe them, they unbuckle their belts before going to bed, and


    Luosang frowned and interrupted him, Mr. Nian, are you sure youre talking about their girlfriends? Sounds like they have hostesses serving them day in day out


    Nian Junting paused and thought about Zhou Yanfeng and his bunch of friends. They did apany themselves with various lovers sporadically.


    Anyway Mr. Nian, you even know about the girls unbuckling their belts, are you also Luosang looked green with disgust while maintaining a safe distance from him.


    Nian Juntings expression turned ugly, What are you implying? I only heard about these things from them, you are the only woman who had done these things for me before.


    Pfft, Luosang spat out the tea she was sipping, Dont spout nonsense.


    Nian Junting curled into a smile as he watched her blush, Yeah, youve unbuckled my belt. Youve even put on my underwear for me before. Gosh, weve been through so much together. Youre practically destined to be my girlfriend.


    Luosang neck was turning red too.


    What was he on about? She was employed then to take care of him, it barely meant anything, Anyway, girlfriends are a different ball game. You have to pamper them like a princess


    Hmm, alright then. Ill be unbuckling your belts, putting on your clothes Nian Junting happily announced.


    Damn it. She couldnt carry on with the conversation. She had wanted to prank him but he was driving her mad.


    Enough, Im going home. I still have unfinished homework. The professor is expecting us to be prepared in ss tomorrow, Luosang stood up abruptly.


    Nian Junting nced at his watch and it was only 8:30 pm. He couldnt bear to let her go so early, but he didnt want to get in the way of her studies.


    She was still young and they could spend all the time they wanted together once she graduated. No, he would make her move in with him. Then they would be together every single moment of the day.


    Luosang picked up her bag and turned around to see him packing up the fruits into a paper bag.


    What are you doing?


    Dont you like these? Take them back to school with you. You can munch on them while youre studying, Nian Junting said.


    Luosang felt a gush of warmth flood over her heart, and no words coulde out of her mouth.

 Chapter 187. Youre My Girlfriend, so its Reasonable for Me to Help You

    Chapter 187. You''re My Girlfriend, so it''s Reasonable for Me to Help You


    No one had cared for her like this for a long time.


    She didnt like fruits particrly. On the contrary, she never loved the fruits that needed to be peeled. Earlier, she ate the fruits only to make Nian Junting feel sorry.


    Suddenly, she felt that it was actually nice to have a boyfriend.


    She understood that she shouldnt keep herself isted only because a man had once hurt her.


    At about nine oclock, Nian Junting prepared to park his car in the campus. Luosang stopped him and said, Dont park here; just send me to the school gate.


    No, Im driving you in, Nian Junting refused. I want to see if anyone lighted candles or sang love songs for you tonight.


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched slightly. Mr. Nian, she said, Im not that popr, okay? Besides, youve already told everybody in the forum that I have a boyfriend. Wholl try to pursue me now?


    Dont you know that quite some people like to steal others girlfriends these days? Nian Junting parked the car, insistinf on walking her to her dorm.


    Luosang had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.


    At night, in the campus, Nian Junting held her hand. Under the roadmps, their shadows were long.


    Luosang nced around, seeing plenty of copies. At night, students were mostly in pairs, so no one would notice them.


    Lets go to a movie tomorrow. You seem to love movies. But we cant see Chi Shengxus movie, Nian Junting said in a low voice. He believed that a couple needed to spend as much time as they could with each other.


    Luosang smiled.


    Mr. Nian, she responded, Im afraid I dont have time for that. I have a part-time job.


    Do you mean that crappy film crew that you worked with by the seasidest time? Nian Junting asked.


    Eh not exactly a crappy crew. Its an idol drama. Many people have been looking forward to it, she said.


    Dont go. Thatme crew isnt good enough for you. Nian Junting ignored her words and continued, And you majored in broadcasting, so why should you waste your time doing meaningless jobs? Didnt you say that you love being a voice actor? You should take voice-acting internships. If you cant find one, Ill arrange it for you.


    You dont need to


    Dont overthink this. I wont suddenly make you voice act for the leading actresses, unless youre capable enough to do that. Even though youre my girlfriend, I cant make the film and television industry worse than it already is because of you.


    Lousang found his words both funny and annoying. However, she admired him for thinking in this way. After all, things like investors demanding their film crews to make their girlfriends the leading actress happened quite frequently. But unlike them, Nian Junting sounded impartial.


    Mr. Nian, our rtionship has just started. If youre too nice to me, and I ask you for too much help, we might be unequal. So, please let me try to do it on my own first, okay?


    Why unequal? Nian Junting wore an unhappy look and said, Youre my girlfriend, so its reasonable for me to help you.


    But the more you help me, the more Ill think I owe you. Luosang, too, knitted her brows, and said with a soft voice, If one day, I really need your help, Ill tell you.


    Youre just regarding me as an outsider. Nian Junting was mad. Ive made it clear enough. Im not going to help you build your career. You still need to rely on your own efforts.


    Can we discuss thister? Lousang sighed. She appreciated him, but she couldnt let him help her. Once she did, he would soon find out that she was Xu Luosang from the Xu Group.


    She didnt want to face her past.


    Back then, wherever she went, everyone despised her and reproached her.

 Chapter 188. Say, do you think a man who throws himself at a woman is unattractive?

    Chapter 188. Say, do you think a man who throws himself at a woman is unattractive?


    Of course that didnt mean she nned to stop voice acting altogether after Yi Jingxi spread rumors about her. She wanted to rough it out by herself first before she turned to others for help.


    Nian Junting was miffed, not only did she turn down his good intentions, she didnt try to pacify him at all after seeing how mad he was. He was boiling mad.


    When he reached the dormitory, he looked around them before saying gravely, Since no one is trying to confess to you, Ill make a move then.


    Ok, Luosang nodded her head before she caught his dark and serious gaze.


    Is there anything you want to say to me? Nian Junting stared at her intently.


    Luosang blinked her eyes in confusion,  Drive safely.


    Nian Junting stared at her for another couple of seconds before turning on his heel angrily.


    Luosang watched him stalk away in anger and waited for a while before entering the building.


    At around 10pm, Yan Su returned to the dormitory and caught Luosang daydreaming on her swiveling chair. Herptop was turned on and a te of fruits was sitting beside it. There were grapes, plums, and mangosteen.


    Wow, where did you get all these fruits from? I thought you didnt like these fruits? Yan Su pinched the plums, Whats wrong with you, you seem kind of out of your element.


    Im just thinking if you hear rumors about how crappy of a person I am in the future, will you still be my friend? Luosang asked.


    Yan Su paused before replying her lightly, What are you overthinking about? As long as you dont hurt me, well always be friends. If you did anything terrible, then I have the responsibility to pull you back to the right path too.


    Thank you, Luosangs lips quivered and she curled up into a ball.


    At the Shengting Corporation.


    Xiao Si appeared in the CEO office early in the morning, bustling with excitement. He caught Nian Junting scolding his secretary the moment he entered the room, How many times do I have to tell you to put a lemon slice in my morning coffee. Why do you keep forgetting this? How can I trust you with anything else if you cant even aplish such a small task?


    Im sorry, Im sorry Mr. Nian. Ill pay more attention next time, the female secretary was apologizing frantically.


    Oi, bad morning huh? Xiao Si signaled the secretary to leave them alone, What happened, I thought everything was going wellst night with your beautiful lover. Are you throwing a tantrum because you didnt get to sleep with herst night? Take it easy brother, youve only just started seeing her.


    Am I that thirsty? Nian Junting red at him.


    I cant say for sure. I mean your d*ck did stand when she gave you a shower, Xiao Si giggled in amusement.


    Nian Junting massages his temples, You normally dont show up at thepany until 11am, so what are you doing so early here?


    Gossip of course! Weve been brothers for so many years and you finally got attached! I cant begin to tell you what Im feeling Xiao Si rubbed his chest, I feel even more stirred and excited then when I got into a rtionship myself!


    Nian Juntings expression turned sour. Stirring was a seductive word when Luosang used it, but he felt sick hearing it from Xiao Si.


    Say, do you think a man who throws himself at a woman is unattractive?


    Xiao Si was excited by these series of events. His brother was being ill-treated by ady.


    Before he could reply, Nian Junting interjected him harshly, Get to the main point, Ill assign you to the African re projects if you speak nonsense.


    What a heartless man, Xiao Si thought. He forced himself to swallow his excitement and said seriously, Yeah, its quite a turn-off.

 Chapter 189. And Yi Jingxi, the Man I Introduced to You Last Year

    Chapter 189. And Yi Jingxi, the Man I Introduced to You Last Year


    Hearing Xiao Sis words, Nian Juntings face turned as cold as ice.


    Xiao Si didnt want to be sent to Africa, so he hurriedly added, But of course, I was talking about ordinary people. Someone as handsome and rich as you can only be more and more valuable, like potential stocks.


    I know, Nian Junting said as he leaned against the back of his chair. His icy face slowly warmed back up. But why did she reject me when I offered to find her a work opportunity, and say that she didnt want us to be unequal?


    That means shes an honest girl. In the film and television circle, girls like her are scarce. Xiao Si nodded and said, Youve just built a rtionship, so she isnt sure if youre the right guy for her yet. Over time, she might feel that you two arent the perfect match, and might want to break up with you. But if you have helped her too much, she wouldnt be able to convince herself to break up with you, as shell think that she owes you.


    Break up? Nian Junting raised his voice, sneered, and said, Impossible. I am perfect. Any girl would want to hold my hand tight. How could she possibly ever want to break up with me? It seems that you know nothing. Forget it, Ill figure it out myself.


    Alright. Ill let you try to figure it out, but youll probably generate some other unimaginable thoughts.


    He suddenly felt that it was quite difficult for Luosang to deal with such a difficult boyfriend.


    She doesnt want my help now, but you should go purchase a filmpany for me as a preparation, said Nian Junting. I dont want the poorly managed ones. I want a good one. When she came round, Ill get her into thatpany. Shes my girlfriend, so I need to treat her well.


    The corner of Xiao Sis mouth twitched slightly. I dont think thats necessary, he said. She isnt going to be an actress. She only does voice-acting.


    Nian Junting nced at him, crossed his arms, and raised his head proudly, said, Shes my woman. So even if she only does voice-acting, Ill still get her the best resources.


    Are you serious? Xiao Si raised his brows and said, Luosang used to work for you as a carer, so Im guessing her family background isnt ideal. I dont think your father will ept her.


    That old man When did I take him seriously? Nian Junting responded ndly.


    Xiao Si didnt know what to say.


    At that moment, Xiao Sis phone started ringing. He nced at the screen of his phone, then murmured something before answering the call.


    Kashiwa, finally got some time to call me? he said.


    We need a fourth in our Mahjong game tonight, will youe? said Kashiwa.


    Who are the other three?


    Zhou Yanfeng and Yi Jingxi, who I introduced to youst year.


    Ah, I remember him. Hes running a filmpany, isnt he? said Xiao Si.


    Yeah, why?


    Ah, I recently went to buy a filmpany, just for fun. I dont know much about the industry, so I n to find an expert to teach me something about it. Alright, Ille at night.


    After ending the call, Xiao Si turned back to Nian Junting, then pointed at his phone and said, Neither of us know a thing about the film industry, so Im going to try to learn something about it first. Do you feel like joining me?


    No.


    Are you going out with Luosang tonight?


    No. This topic made Nian Junting a little unhappy. Ill have dinner with my Mom and Nian Xi tonight.


    You should spend more time with your Mom.


    At eleven oclock in the morning, Luosang spent about ten minutes wandering near the Jinding International, then finally went upstairs and rang the doorbell.


    A man in a neat suit opened the door.


    Zeng Zhun! Luosang paused slightly and asked, Why are you here?


    Youre a littlete. Ms. Zhong went out to film an ad. She left for a while. Zeng Zhun smiled slightly, But Mr. Yi is here.

 Chapter 190. She found herself missing Nian Junting

    Chapter 190. She found herself missing Nian Junting


    Oh, Ille back tomorrow then, Luosang was ready to leave.


    Stand right there, a familiar voice called out, I know youre looking for Zhongyi because of Producer Yuan. Its the same as talking to me.


    Luosang took a deep breath, and she turned around to see Yi Jingxi standing behind Zeng Zhun in a grey cashmere cardigan over a white t-shirt. He looked handsome and casual, all while exuding a charismatic vibe.


    She smiled, Its not the same. You are an attached man who slept with another woman, and yet youre still insisting that Im your fianc. I must be wary against you. Who knows what kind of disgusting things you would do to me. No matter what though, Zhongyi is a girl, and I dont have to worry about her harassing me.


    Even Zhongyi has to listen to me. Do you understand? Yi Jingxi said inly, If you leave now, youre doing a disfavor to Professor Ma who once helped you.


    Luosang gave a cold smile. He had clearly figured out her various social connections.


    Come in, dont worry. I wont force you to do anything you dont want to. Im fried after an entire night with Zhongyi yesterday, and I dont have the energy to force myself onto you, Yi Jingxi said.


    A feeling of disgust bubbled in Luosangs stomach as she looked at the handsome face in front of her.


    Zeng Zhun frowned as he stepped aside to make way for Luosang.


    Zhongyis not here, and you shall make me lunch today. Tidy up the house while youre at it too, Yi Jingxi sat on the couch and fished out his phone, Ill pass Producer Yuans film during the assessment at the end of the month if you do a good job.


    Its only a week away from the assessment. Are you toying with me? Luosang couldnt believe his generous proposition.


    I mean it wouldnt hurt for you to see whether Ill keep my promise till the end of the month, and theres only a couple of days left, Yi Jingxi said without raising his head.


    Luosang scoffed, Huh. Zhongyi and you are both nasty people. If I have to serve you guys, itll be like entering a lions den. No matter how short the duration is, Ill have to keep my guards up at all times in case you guys sell me out.


    I wont, Yi Jingxi looked her in the eye, it was hard to read his thoughts.


    How could he bear to sell her away, he just wanted to deal with Xu Zhengxuan.


    Luosang smiled coldly as if she would believe him. Yi Jingxi had almost sold her off to Mr. Lin previously.


    You can fool a three-year-old but not me. You keeppany with people like Mr. Lin, and how many of the artistes under yourpany have you sold off to him?


    What nonsense are you saying? Yi Jingxi looked grim.


    Luosang was surprised. He didnt do those things?


    But ording to their conversation previously, Yi Jingxi seemed to be quite close with Mr. Li so he must be putting on an act in front of her. That was what he was best at anyway.


    Im not lying to you. If you want them to pass the assessment at the end of the month then you better hurry along and go marketing. Pick up the groceries and make me rice and dishes for lunch, Yi Jingxi instructed her coldly.


    Luosang bit on her lip, Ok, but you have to give me money for the groceries because I dont have money.


    Yi Jingxi nced over at Zeng Zhun and he handed over three hundred dors to Luosang.


    You should know what I enjoy eating, dont be stingy with the food, and return the remaining cash, Yi Jingxi said.


    Ok, Luosang said.


    Gee, did he have to be so calctive when ites to petty cash, how did he change so much? Luosang thought.


    She found herself missing Nian Junting.


    She suddenly realized that Nian Junting hadnt called her during breakfast this morning, was he still angry?


    What are you dazing about, hurry along now, Yi Jingxi reprimanded her.


    Luosang left the house silently.


    After the door closed, Zeng Zhun walked over to Yi Jingxi where he was sitting and asked, Jingxi, must you really be so harsh? Would it be better if you changed your way ofmunicating with her?

 Chapter 191. Dont Forget about Luosangs Mother

    Chapter 191. Don''t Forget about Luosang''s Mother


    Change into what way? Yi Jingxi turned back and said with a dry voice, I sent Xu Zhengxuan to prison. She hates my guts. What else can I do but this?


    Youre keeping her around, but I worry that you might be pushing her heart further and further away. Zeng Zhun sighed. Is this what you want? The guy named Xiao Si, perhaps, doesnt mind her past


    Yi Jingxi gripped his phone and asked, Maybe he doesnt mind, but what about his family?


    Then what about her heart? Shell hate you more and more. Youre stimting her with Zhong Yi, and you want her to be jealous. But, have you ever thought that she might grow antipathy to all these? Jingxi, think about it. You dont need to destroy the rtionship between you and her for the hatred between you and Xu Zhengxuan. Dont go too far. Shes a woman, and she has nothing left.


    Yi Jingxi paused, as if he was suddenly disabled from moving.


    And dont you forget about Luosangs mother. These years, youve taken everything that her mother sent her, but that doesnt mean her mother wont try finding her. You know her mothers name, so you should know who she is. If she knows that her daughters life has be like this, shell definitely do something, Zeng Zhun reminded Yi Jingxi.


    Hearing that, Yi Jingxis veins throbbed in his temples. He fretfully grabbed the cigarette case on the table, lighted up a cigarette, puffed on it a few times, then responded in a hoarse voice, So I can never let her go out of my control. I wont let her and her mother ever see each other.


    A cruel look shed across his eyes that made Zeng Zhun shiver in fear.


    When Luosang returned from shopping, Zeng Zhun had left. Yi Jingxi was in the living room reading files, didnt even nce at her.


    Lousang went to the kitchen and made three dishes. After she served the food, Yi Jingxi walked over. When finding that all the foods on the table were his favorite, his throat squirmed slightly.


    She did remember what he liked.


    Yi Jingxi tasted the foods, then said abruptly, Your culinary skill has improved quite a lot.


    Lousang paused slightly, then gave a sarcastic smile in her heart.


    She used to be a spoiled girl. She had a cook, so she never needed to cook for herself. However,ter on, when she was all alone, she needed to learn everything. Fortunately, she was a good learner. She slowly figured out how to cook, and after spending a while with Sister Lan, her culinary skills advanced rapidly.


    Yi Jingxi kicked the empty chair beside her and said, Sit down and eat with me.


    Im good. I had lunch in the kitchen, said Lousang tly.


    Yi Jingxi raised his head and said with a dark look, Who gave you permission to eat the food there?


    Lousang remained silent for a short while, then took out five yuan from her trousers pocket, put it on the table, and said, I only had some in rice. I didnt even touch the dishes. What I ate is worth no more than this. Im paying you, alright?


    The disgust and hatred that suddenly appeared in her eyes made Yi Jingxi feel a dull pain in his heart. How could he possibly treat her so stingily? He was just mad at her because she wouldnt eat together with him.


    Thinking of her eating in rice alone in the kitchen, Yi Jingxi felt his heart ache, so much so that he couldnt even breathe.


    As Yi Jingxi didnt say anything, Luosang turned and left, saying, Im doing the cleaning now.


    Make dinner earlier. Im ying mahjong with my friends tonight. Youll go = with me to serve us, said Yi Jingxi with a deep voice.


    Luosang frowned, turned back, and said alertly, Youll have people to serve you over there; why do you want me to go? Youre not nning to send me to your mahjong friends beds, are you?


    What are you talking about? Hearing that, Yi Jingxis eyes turned slightly red. He couldnt believe that Luosang would think him as someone who would do that kind of thing.

 Chapter 192. She didnt expect Xiao Si to be one of his poker mates tonight

    Chapter 192. She didn''t expect Xiao Si to be one of his poker mates tonight


    You know the truth better than anyone else, Luosang looked at him warily, she wasnt exactly afraid of him, she carried lots of self-protective equipment on her.


    I wont do that, Yi Jingxi tightened his grip around his chopsticks and said seriously, Everyone is bringing their plus ones tonight, and Im bringing you because Zhongyi is not free.


    Luosang gave him a side nce. She couldnt stand these men, and why must they bring their female counterparts along for a game of poker.


    Why was Nian Junting so different from them despiteing from the same kind of background?


    It probably stemmed from their different upbringing.


    Of course, Nian Junting must think that he was so perfect that no women on this earth were worthy of hispany.


    Eight oclock in the evening at the Great Ocean International Hotel.


    Yi Jingxi got off the car and threw his keys to the valet boy, and Luosang followed behind him hurriedly as they entered the elevator that brought them straight to the president suite.


    There were two young men sitting in the room with cigars hanging on their lips. They looked about thirty or so. Both of them had femalepanions with them, and one of the girls looked familiar and Luosang racked her brain to match the face to a name. Then it struck her that it was Yuan Xiaoshu, the popr blogger that Tang Ning hated. The other girl had an unnatural face that was thick with makeup as well. One could tell that she had gone under the knife before.


    There were so many people in the entertainment industry who had undergone stic surgery. No wonder Nian Junting used her of going through stic surgery as well when he first saw her again.


    Oi, Jingxi, where did you find such natural beauty?


    Kashiwas eyes were glistening with curiosity, and he could tell from one nce whether someones face was man-made or not, Well, shes even prettier than Zhongyi, you lucky bast*rd. Judging from your looks you must still be in university?


    Luosang pursed her lips. She could also tell at one nce that he was a rich yboy, and she was put off by his demeanor.


    Yi Jingxi nced at her and said, Dont spout rubbish.


    His casual remark seemed like denial on the surface but it did insinuate something deeper, especially in their social circle. People might really believe that she was in a romantic rtionship with Yi Jingxi.


    Come, Mr. Yi,e have a smoke, Zhou Yanfeng threw a cigarette towards Yi Jingxi and pointed at Yan Xiaoshu, What do you think about her? Can you arrange an interview for her the next time yourpany undertakes a new project? She doesnt need to be the main actress, but she can even y the role of a supporting actress to grow her poprity.


    Shes quite pretty so Ill see what I can do, Yi Jingxi lit the cigarette between his teeth.


    Count yourself a true brother, Zhou Yanfeng elbowed the girl next to him, Say your thanks!


    Thanks, Mr. Yi, Yuan Xiaoshu was beaming from the inside, Ive only heard about you previously, and its my honor to finally meet you in person. I didnt expect you to be such a young and handsome man.


    Hey, watch thepliments you pay to another man, Zhou Yanfeng teased as he pinched her cheeks.


    Dont be petty, but I do like how bossy you are, Yuan Xiaoshu said coyly as she leaned into his arms.


    Luosang felt like puking as she watched them. This was precisely why she refused to go into acting or modeling; the social rtionships were way tooplicated.


    Anyway why isnt Xiao Si here yet, Kashiwa said suddenly.


    I just called him, he says hes downstairs already.


    The mention of Xiao Sipletely threw her off. She didnt expect Xiao Si to be one of his poker mates tonight. Oh right, she recalled Xiao Si introducing Yi Jingxi to Nian Juntingst year, how could she forget that?


    Um Mr. Yi, I think I left my phone in the car, Ill go get it, Luosang picked a convenient excuse.


    Yi Jingxi took a puff of smoke and saw the anxiety in her eyes. He felt a pang of sharp pain in his chest.

 Chapter 193. Luosang, Why Are You Here?

    Chapter 193. Luosang, Why Are You Here?


    Yi Jingxi wished that this whole thing would be a misunderstanding. Or maybe Xiao Si fancied Luosang, but she didnt like him back. However, when he saw the uneasy look in her eyes, he knew that he was wrong.


    Just leave your phone. Youre here to keep mepany, not to spend time on your phone. Yi Jingxi abruptly grabbed her arm and dragged her hard.


    Without preparation, Lousang fell on hisp.


    Haha, Im sorry, Imte because I got stuck in traffic. Brightughter was heard from the door, as a handsome man walked in. Ahyaya, you all havedies friends.


    Lousang struggled up in panic. In order to avoid being recognized by Xiao Si, she bent over and pretended to look for something under the table.


    Luosang, what are you doing? Get up, say hi to Mr. Xiao, Yi Jingxi grabbed her arms and forced her to turn around. Then, she saw Xiao Sis surprised face.


    Lousang, why are you here? Xiao Si was shocked. When he saw Yi Jingxis grab Luosangs arm, his face darkened instantly.


    Mr. Xiao, do you know each other? Yi Jingxi raised his eyebrows and said, Shes my housekeeper in Xia City.


    Housekeeper? Xiao Si narrowed his eyes.


    Xiao Si might believe Yi Jingxi if Luosang didnt be a student of Ximei and the girlfriend of Nian Junting. But Luosang would never be this desperate for money, unless


    Xiao Si remembered that when she was Nian Juntings carer, Nian Junting was rather obsessed with her. He began to wonder if Luosang liked to hook up with guys through this kind of method.


    And just now, when he came in, he saw her lying on Yi Jingxisp.


    The more he thought, the darker his eyes became.


    Seeing the look in his eyes, Luosang knew that he had misunderstood him. Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood, she hurriedly exined. Im Zhong Yis assistant. Zhong Yi is busy today, so I came here to keep Mr. Yi apany.


    Zhou Yanfeng chuckled with a deep voice and said, Mr. Yi, you have quite some charm. Even Zhong Yis assistant is willing to take care of you. Does Zhong Yi know about this? If she does, Id admire you. Tell me how did you manage it. If I did the same, Xiaoshu would kill me.


    Yuan Xiaoshu nced at Luosang scornfully andughed. Im not so generous. If you ever dare to do the same, you wont be able to get in the bed for a whole week.


    Zhou Yanfeng pinched her nose and said, I like your rudeness.


    Xiao Sis face turned sourer and sourer.


    Kashiwa suddenly recalled that Yi Jingxi had asked him about the limited edition sports car a couple of days ago. He guessed something, then started feeling sorry for himself. Among all of his friends, Xiao Si was the nicest one. But now, he looked really angry.


    Arent we here to y mahjong? Why are we wasting time on those unimportant people? Come, sit down, he said.


    Yeah. Yi Jingxi smiled and said, Mr. Xiao, if you like her, Ill give her to you as a gift. Its just a woman. And Shes not really a decent woman


    In shock, Luosang turned to look at Yi Jingxis handsome, smiling face.


    He had hurt her countless times.


    She thought she was already too numb to feel anything else.


    However, he always surprised her by hurting her more and more.


    Xiao Si paused briefly, as he didnt think Yi Jingxi would say something like that.


    Mr. Yi, as a human being, you shouldnt be that shameless. Luosang always told herself to try one more time, but at this point, she found that she had reached her limit.


    Yi Jingxi ignored the painful look in her eyes and said, What about what you just said when you tried to lure me while Zhong Yi wasnt around?

 Chapter 194. From this day on, her hatred for Yi Jingxi shall never cease

    Chapter 194. From this day on, her hatred for Yi Jingxi shall never cease


    All the students from the Ximei arts faculty are the same. You are all looking for chances totch onto someone rich and powerful. Stop ying hard to get. I know what youre after, and you want me to help you gain poprity dont you? I was going to give you a chance since you were quite pretty, but since Master Xiao fancies you too, I shall not get in the way of someone else. But watch out Master Xiao you can fool around with her, but I wouldnt dare to touch her if I were you. Careful of transmittable diseases. Who knows how many men she has tried to seduce before me.


    After what Yi Jingxi said, the whole room looked at Luosang with despise.


    Luosang stood awkwardly and her eyes were brimming with tears.


    She realized that Yi Jingxi was already being unkind to her previously with his insults and humiliations.


    Yi Jingxi you are really the most despicable man Ive ever met in my life, Luosang walked over to the table and picked up a ss of water, she flung the cup in his face without hesitation.


    All the women in the room gasped, and Kashiwa roughly figured out the situation and sat where he was without flinching. Zhou Yanfeng, on the other hand, misread Xiao Sis expression and took Luosang for someone who yed with his emotions. He mmed his palm onto the table and flung a ss of red wine onto Luosangs face, Youre just a mere nobody from the art school. Who do you think you are?


    The wine made her fringe wet and flowed down the sides of her cheeks. She blinked furiously as she could no longer hold back her tears. At this point, nobody could tell if she was crying or not.


    Yi Jingxi clenched his fist under the table, willing himself not to move.


    Xiao Si frowned and tried to stop him, Yanfeng


    Ah Si, Im helping you teach this woman a lesson, Zhou Yanfeng said coldly, Youre right Mr. Yi, you are a little too nave, women these days are too sly.


    Xiao Si pursed his lips in silence, he was at a loss of words.


    Luosang inhaled a sharp breath and wiped her face with her sleeves, raised her head and gave a coldugh, Mr. Yi, if you think of me as such a dirty woman, I should keep my distance from you for the rest of my life, in case I infect you with something.


    She looked at him meaningfully before turning to leave.


    She was going to remember that face, that amount of humiliation he brought to her for the rest of her life.


    From this day on, her hatred for Yi Jingxi shall never cease.


    Yi Jingxis pupils constricted and he felt his chest suffocate.


    His dark eyshes were moist from tears welling up in his eyes, her gaze was imprinted onto his mind. He was scared.


    He didnt expect himself to say such nasty things, but he couldnt help himself when he saw how concerned she was about Xiao Sis opnion of her.


    He was like a crazy person, his mind was in a whirlwind but his face was still stered with a smile, Look, what a shameless woman. Shes just angry that I blew her cover, she still wants to preserve her modesty after being a sl*t? Master Xiao, you like this kind of women?


    Xiao Si maintained a poker face.


    Kashiwa cleared his throat and said, Oh right, Ah Si, didnt you say that you wanted to discuss something with Yi Jingxi? You told me that you wanted to buy over a movie productionpany.


    Its fine, Ive changed my mind, Xiao Sis face was dark as he stood up and kicked the chair out of his way, stomping out of the room.


    Where are you going, Ah Si? We havent yed any poker, Zhou Yanfeng tried to persuade him, Its just a woman, dont be angry. Ill introduce you to someone better next time.

 Chapter 195. Yi Jingxi Was My Fiance

    Chapter 195. Yi Jingxi Was My Fiance


    Xiao Si understood that these people all thought there was something going on between Luosang and himself, but he didnt bother to exin. If he told them that it was actually Nian Junting who was with Luosang now, Nian Junting might get embarrassed, and that would be even worse.


    Forget it. Im not in the mood. You guys have fun, he said.


    Then he walked away with long strides.


    Damn, cursed Zhou Yanfeng.


    Ill call another friend. Kashiwa felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who arranged this mahjong party. Jingxi, what do you say?


    Yi Jingxi only lowered his head to smoke. Among the coiling smoke, his face was barely visible.


    In the parking lot, Xiao Si walked out of the elevator, took out his phone, and found Nian Juntings number. However, he wasnt sure about how to tell Nian Junting about what he just saw.


    He and Nian Junting never said a good thing about each other, yet he knew Nian Junting the best. For Luosang, Nian Junting had even been learning about sweet talk skills and constetion knowledge recently. Xiao Si hadnt seen him take any girl so serious for a long time.


    Mr. Xiao Luosang showed up, blocked his way, and looked at him in the eyes.


    Can we talk? she asked.


    About what? Xiao Si pulled a long face and gave a cold smile, then responded with, Luosang, youre so good at pretending. This time, Tingting and I were really wrong.


    Even though Luosang knew that Xiao Si had misunderstood her, she still felt awfully embarrassed when hearing his words.


    Its not what you think she exined.


    I saw you lying on Yi Jingxisps with my own eyes. Do you have any sense of shame? So many people were looking at you. How on earth could Tingting be with someone like you? I should have never supported him on this.


    The more he talked, the angrier he got.


    Working as housekeeper/carer; this is how you hook up with men, am I right?


    Before you came in, Yi Jingxi dragged me forward, so I fell on hisp. You can ask the others on the scene if you want


    How convenient. Why didnt you fall anywhere else? Besides, if you are wronged as you imed, why did Yi Jingxi do that to you? You just a student after all.


    Luosang closed her eyes and gave a bitter smile.


    Out of words, eh? Xiao Si warned her with a cold voice, Stay away from Tingting. Dont ever let me see you try to get close to him, or


    Yi Jingxi was my fiance, said Luosang abruptly.


    Hearing that, Xiao Si choked on his words.


    Luosang helplessly curved her pale lips and said, He hates me very much. Back in An City, here in Xia City, hes been trying anything he can to destroy me.


    Thats impossible. Everyone knows that Yi Jingxis girlfriend is Zhong Yi. Ive heard about his fiancee, but that was years ago. I thought that girls family name was Xu


    My name is Xu Luosang. Luosang interrupted him and said, My father is Xu Zhengxuan, who used to own Xu Pictures. He went to prison for molesting his student, then I left An City and changed my family name to Luo.


    Xiao Si was stunned. He rubbed his short hair, spending quite a while to process what he had heard.


    So, youve been hiding your family name, because you are the daughter of Xu Zhengxuan, the famous molester


    My father didnt do that. Yi Jingxi framed him. Well, you may not believe me, she said ndly, I didnt want you to tell you all of this. But I dont want Nian Junting to think I am a shameless, nasty woman. Im here tonight because of the online series that I worked on earlier. Yi Jingxi found out about the online series, so he pulled a few strings to stop it from airing. The few directors have put everything they have in the online series. They were all nice to me during work. I cant bear to watch them lose everything, so I came here to beg Yi Jingxi. He said that as long as I work for Zhong Yi as her assistant, hell consider letting the online series to pass the censorship.

    Chapter 197. Who Bullied You?


    Back to school? A familiar voice was heard from the phone.


    Lousang was in a daze for a short while before recognizing Yi Jingxis voice.


    Luosang, Im warning you. Men like Xiao Si will never really like you. Wanna get into a wealthy family like the Xiao Family? In your dreams. You should stay with me. Stop thinking about him


    Luosang felt icy cold. It turned out that Yi Jingxi did what he did tonight on purpose because he thought something was going on between Xiao Si and Luosang. Luosang didnt understand why he thought that way.


    Yi Jingxi, Ill remember how you insulted me tonight for the rest of my life, Luosang said tremblingly, then hung up the phone.


    Dropping the phone, she clenched the nket, tears gushing down her face.


    In less than a minute, her phone rang again.


    She thought it was Yi Jingxi again, so she grabbed the phone and yelled, Stop calling! Go away! You made me sick!


    The one on the other side of the phone remained silent for a while. Then, Luosang heard Nian Juntings unique voice, Who made you sick?


    Luosang gave a start, then hurriedly wiped her tears and looked closely at the phone. Finding that it was Nian Junting who called her, she said, Sorry, I didnt see your number just now.


    Who bullied you? Nian Junting asked in a cold voice. The concern in his voice was hard to conceal.


    Luosang wanted to cry. She bit her lips hard because she worried that he might hear her nasally voice.


    Are you in your dorm room? Nian Junting continued asking, as she wasnt responding.


    Em, she replied.


    Come down, Im downstairs, he said shortly.


    Luosang paused for a second, then her heart began thumping. Yesterday, she could tell that he was angry. She thought that he wouldnt talk to her in at least a few days. After all, he was such a proud man. But to her surprise, he came to her tonight.


    Hes not here to ask questions and give me trouble because Xiao Si told him about who I really am, is he?


    Dont get this wrong. Im here because Xiaosi misses you, Nian Junting added proudly and coldly.


    Luosang was a little nervous before, but hearing the simple words he said, her bad mood instantly left.


    Well, it seems that Xiao Si was right. But this excuse of his is way too hrious. Its not like Ive spent a lot of time with Xiao Si. And can a dog possibly tell people about its feelings? Im not the kind of person Xiaosi fancies.


    Come down quickly. If Xiaosi gets impatient down here, itll be troublesome. He really misses you, Nian Junting hastened her impatiently.


    Luosang found him both funny and annoying. Alright, Iming down right now. Wait a second, I need to change.


    You dont need to. Hurry up, he said.


    No, I have to change. Her shirt was stained with wine, so how could she not change?


    I said you dont need to. I like you in your pajamas, especially the pink ones, he said.


    Luosang paused.


    Pajamas?


    She lowered her head to look at her clothes, then figured it out. Nian Junting thought that she was still in pajamas.


    It surprised her that he actually like to see her in pajamas.


    She blushed thinking about that.


    Alright, Ille down in my pajamas, she said.


    She quickly changed into the green pajama set that she left on her bed, then washed her face and brushed her hair. After this, she went downstairs.


    At the entrance of the dorm building, she looked around, then found Nian Junting under the most inconspicuous tree near the dorm. He was wearing a ck sweater and ck pants, carrying a paper bag. If Luosang didnt see Xiaosi, she might not have been able to find him.

 Chapter 198. She hardly ever held his hands and now, she was dragging him into the woods?

    Chapter 198. She hardly ever held his hands and now, she was dragging him into the woods?


    Mr. Nian, why are you standing in such an inconspicuous spot? she expected someone as egoistic as him to be standing at the main gate.


    Your campus has strict rules about dogs entering, I hid him in the back of the car when I drove here just now, Nian Junting was examining her, it was the first time he saw her wearing mint green on her. She looked refreshing and elegant, he always thought that she looked adorable in her pink pajamas, but she looked even better in mint green.


    His woman was so beautiful, she looked pretty in everything.


    Why are you staring at me like that, Mr. Nian? Luosang smiled, judging by his demeanor, she knew that Xiao Si hadnt told him anything.


    She was relieved, thank god she rified things with Xiao Si earlier on, he must have thought of her as an indecent woman. If Xiao Si misunderstood her and told Nian Junting about it, he wouldnt be so nice to her anymore.


    She found that she cared about Nian Juntings opinion of her more and more.


    She knew that even if she told him the truth, he wouldnt despise her for her past. He would probably say something along the lines of, Its ok, your dad is your dad, and you are you. Ill continue to like you as long as you are morally upright. But her dad was innocent too, she wished that someone believed in her dad as much as she did, but she wasnt sure if Nian Junting would believe him.


    Ive never seen you wear this color before, Nian Junting forced himself to look away and handed over the paper bag, My mother ate out tonight and the goose meat was very delicious, I packed some for you.


    Luosang looked at him in surprise, he hit her soft spot.


    She took care of him previously and knew that he wasnt a meticulous or considerate person, but here he was delivering supper for her, he always had her in his thoughts.


    He had helped her countless times, even when she didnt express her gratitude or reciprocate his feelings. Even though she was dating him out of some affection for him, she mainly agreed to this rtionship out of obligation. She didnt even expect their rtionship tost for too long.


    Right now, she was fighting back her urge to hold him tightly.


    Even if she knew that she wasnt good enough for him, that his family would never embrace her.


    Dont read too much into this, Nian Junting said ufortably as she stared into his eyes, These are our leftovers, I didnt want it to go to waste. I know you are a glutton, and I was passing by your school anyway.


    Ok, Im not reading too much into it, Im just hungry, Luosang said and took the paper bag from him.


    Nian Junting wanted to bite his own tongue, he drove about an hour to get there just to deliver some supper to her. He wanted her to feel his sincerity and touch her heart, she barely acknowledged him just now.


    Mr. Nian, theres a small forest over there, can you apany me there to eat? Luosang grabbed his hands.


    Forest small forest?


    Nian Junting nced at the hand she was holding, she hardly ever held his hands and now, she was dragging him into the woods?


    He heard rumors that the school woods werent very healthy.


    They cut through the narrow path and arrived at the bench that Luosang spent most of her time at, reading.


    Nian Junting looked around them and said, Why arent there any couple around here, when I studied in the States, I always saw couples making out in the forest. Sometimes, I even heard rustlings in the bushes.


    Rustlings?


    Yeah, you know what I mean, Nian Junting looked at her cheekily.

 Chapter 199. She Kissed Him for the First Time

    Chapter 199. She Kissed Him for the First Time


    She didnt want to know. American people are very open-minded, she said.


    Well some Chinese people are the same, he responded.


    Luosang thought for a moment, then felt that he might be right.


    Then, she began wondering why he brought her into the woods.


    He didnt think I would want to do it with him in here, did he?


    Our school is quite strict, she said. Besides, this is an art university, and all the students here have a chance to be a public figure. So, most of us have been rather careful in private lives, in case people might find some embarrassing stories about us after we became famous.


    Nian Junting nodded, stared at her, and responded with, But youll work behind the screen, so you dont need to worry about that.


    Eh Luosang blinked, her heart beating fast.


    Youre not nning to do something with meter, are you?


    Hurriedly, she lowered her head and opened the paper bag. She took out the cute, brown-colored, little box and opened it. Sliced goose meat was ced neatly in the box.


    She looked at it carefully, then said, Mr. Nian, I think this is an entire goose. You said they were leftovers


    Em, we ordered two gooses, but only ate one. Nian Junting looked at her, then said, Go ahead. Eat.


    Luosang smiled faintly. Nian Junting always lied to her, but why did she still like him more and more?


    Mr. Nian, thank you. I know you bought this especially for me. Luosang abruptly turned her face and gently kissed him on the cheek.


    It was like a feather sliding through his face, leaving an aura of gentleness.


    He froze. At that very moment, he felt that there were flowers blooming at the bottom of his heart, and that his heart was racing.


    Did she kiss him just now?


    She just kissed him for the first time.


    He turned to look at her. She didnt look back at him, but instead lowered her head and focused on eating. He couldnt see her face, only her ears, which were partially covered by her hair. However, he felt that she looked incredibly adorable, like a little bird.


    He gave a sweet smile, then moved closer to her until his body touched her arm. A kiss on the cheek isnt enough. I want a kiss on the mouth, he said.


    The blushing Luosang crushed a piece of goose bone with her teeth.


    She was already really shy when she had kissed him just then, but now, he asked for a kiss on the mouth.


    Mr. Nian, Im eating. She raised her head to give him a threatening nce.


    As sheined with herrge eyes, Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her oily lips. Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed her hard.


    After the kiss, the taste of the goose lingered in his mouth. So, he sighed, The goose tastes good.


    Luosangs face reddened all over. Fortunately, it was dark, and they were in the woods.


    She was too shy to give him a response. She continued eating.


    Nian Junting tried a few more times, but failed to grasp a chance to kiss her again on the lips. So, he put his face near hers and said, I want some too. Feed me.


    As he put his head on her shoulder and breathed in her ear, Luosang felt a slight numbness over her entire body and an itching from her heart, as if a feather was floating across it.


    As she stayed silent, he bent over to eat the half eaten piece of goose meat in her hand. He also gently bit her fingers.


    Her body immediately became burning hot.


    Mr. Nian she murmured.


    Dont you think you should stop calling me that? he said. Everyone in hispany called him Mr. Nian, so if she kept calling him that, he might get distracted in the future when he wanted to do something with her in the bed.

 Chapter 200. Do you have a secret fetish for masochism?

    Chapter 200. Do you have a secret fetish for masochism?


    What should I call you then? Luosang blinked her eyes, Junting


    Unoriginal, Nian Junting shook his head.


    Tingting?


    Nah, everyone calls me that, its not unique.


    Then Junjun? Luosang asked tentatively.


    Nian Junting hummed for a while before he nodded, Thats quite interesting.


    Didnt he find that extremely mushy? It didntplement his cool and suave CEO image at all.


    He also warned Xiao Si not to call him Tingting multiple times, he said it was disgusting himself.


    She was suddenly tempted to ask him: Do you have a secret fetish for masochism?


    Eh Mr. Nian, Junjun sounds a little cheesy.


    Nian Junting raised his brows, Isnt the cheesier the better?


    Luosang sighed, Junjun reminds me of the jun that refers to bacteria, I dont like it. I think Ill call you Junting, how about that? Junting sounds nice.


    Alright, whatever sounds nice to you, Nian Junting said, My original name is really quite nice.


    Sigh Mr. Nian, you really dont let go of any opportunity to brag about yourself, Luosang thought.


    Oh yeah, Nian Junting sounded somber, Just now over the phone, you told someone to get lost and called him disgusting. Who were you referring to? Is someone pestering you?


    Yeah.


    Who is it? Nian Junting felt anger bubble in his chest, how dare anyone bother hisdy.


    Someone who disgusts me, Luosang kept things vague, she wasnt going to find him ever again once the film got approved, Its all over now.


    You were still angry when I called you, he must have harassed you recently. How can you let it go? Nian Junting was relentless, Is he from school or from work?


    Work, Luosang figured that he wouldnt let it go so easily, But Ive already quit my job, I cut off all contact with him.


    Thats good, Nian Junting circled his arms around her shoulder, If he bothers you again, tell me alright. I wont allow anyone to bully you, hmm not even myself.


    Luosang felt a gush of affection after hearing what he said and she allowed him to hold her like that.


    Nian Junting took the opportunity and pulled her close into his embrace.


    Hmm, Ive wanted to do this for a long time, he thought.


    Luosang was caught off guard, she felt like he was exploiting the opportunity and protested, Mr. Nian


    What did you call me? he said threateningly.


    Junting.


    Yup, he replied blissfully.


    Luosang was speechless, Can you let me go and let me eat the goose meat first?


    Bring it back to your dormitory, he wasnt going to let her go so easily now that she was in his arms, Lets chat, now that youve quit your job, what are you nning to do now?


    We have a Christmas g in school next month and Im going to be the host. Therere a lot of things I need to prepare, I think I am going to focus my energy on that and then go on dates with you whenever Im free.


    Nian Junting felt his heart flutter, he looked down to the woman in his arms and she squinted cheekily at him.


    He could taste the sweetness of the atmosphere in his mouth.


    No wonder everyone wanted to be in a rtionship, blood was coursing through his veins with vitality.


    He was so angry with herst night, but today, he only felt sweetness and affection, nothing else.


    We can talk about what you said about the resources avable to me after the Christmas G.


    Nian Junting hummed spitefully, Didnt you reject my help yesterday?

 Chapter 201. Are You Saying We Can French Kiss Tomorrow?

    Chapter 201. Are You Saying We Can French Kiss Tomorrow?


    Em I rejected you because our rtionship started suddenly, and Im confused. But I had a chance to think about it. I dont want to refuse your kindness. I will take our rtionship serious from this moment on, and I will try to know more about you. She meant what she said, no matter what would happen in the future, or what he would do after finding out about who she really was.


    She was young, and Yi Jingxi shouldnt be the reason for her to refuse the chance to devote herself to a good rtionship.


    hearing her words, Nian Junting was as delighted as he was when he founded hispany and earned his first bucket of gold. You can learn about me very easily. As you have seen, I am perfect.


    Luosang bit her lips slightly, not continuing with that topic. She asked him, What about you? Are you dating me and being nice to me because you like me? Or, is this simply because I refused you and made you want to win? Many men are like that. They date girls, not because they fancy them, but because they couldnt get them in first ce.


    Want to win? Nian Junting paused slightly, then responded with, I dont quite understand the whole want-to-win thing, because I can always get whatever I want. As for you, did you refuse me? Werent you ying the hard-to-get game?


    Luosang was very speechless.


    I didnt think so. I only know that youre the only girl I have ever wanted to be with, Nian Junting continued in a clear voice.


    Luosang raised her head to look at him. The moonlight poured on his handsome face through the leaves, making him look as beautiful as a piece of art created by God himself.


    Like many girls, Luosang liked good-looking men. Since her boyfriend was so handsome, she decided to let him stay narcissistic.


    Dont look at me like youre drooling at my handsome face. I know youve been coveting me for quite a long time. Stop pretending. Nian Junting proudly smiled, then prepared to kiss her again.


    Youve kissed me already. Luosang covered her mouth, looking at him in the eyes. Both their hearts started beating fast.


    Yeah, but now I want to French kiss, Nian Junting said frankly.


    Luosangs face blushed scarlet. Dont be greedy. Weve only been boyfriend and girlfriend for a few days, yet you have already kissed me.


    Nian Junting pondered shortly, then said, Are you saying that we can French kiss tomorrow?


    Luosang was speechless again. When did she say that? What on earth was his method of thinking?


    If you peel me two bowls of grape and a bowl of grapefruit, Ill French kiss you. Remember, you need to peel them yourself.


    Nian Junting blinked. He hated peeling fruits the most. What kind of bowl? He asked, Is a rice bowl okay? Or baby bowl?


    No,rge bowls. Luosang pushed him away. Baby bowlin your dreams.


    Nian Junting knitted his eyebrows together and stared at her for a whole thirty seconds, then stood up abruptly.


    What are you doing? Luosang gave a start.


    Im going back home to peel grapes, he said.


    Luosang suddenly regretted her choice. Now, she felt like two bowls of grapes and a bowl of grapefruit was too little.


    Theres no rush she said.


    Nian Junting nced at his watch, then said, Its half past ten. Most fruit shops will close for the night soon.


    I want sweet grapefruits, not the sour ones. She clearly remembered how Nian Junting used to treat her.


    Nian Junting frowned and said, Arent you demanding too much?


    How? Didnt you demand the same before?


    Are you getting revenge? He frowned deeper and deeper, Luo, I didnt think you were so narrow-minded.

 Chapter 202. He would do anything to kiss her again

    Chapter 202. He would do anything to kiss her again


    Yeah, Luosang nodded her head and feigned innocence, Did you forget, on the premiere night of Dark Secrets? I warned you not to fall in love with me, or I was going to make you pay.


    Is that so? Ipletely forgot. Dont make things up, you hear me? he said.


    Luosang continued to stare at him quietly until he appeared to look a little guilty. He cleared his throat and said, Fine, I underestimated your capabilities, you little vixen.


    Luosan stood up with a smile, Go home, the dormitory is closing soon.


    Nian Junting walked her closer to her building along with Xiaosi. Before parting, he reached out and gave her a tight hug before sadly leaving her.


    Luosan watched his shadow disappear and felt her heart brim with happiness.


    Hes long gone, what are you still grinning about, someone had tapped on her shoulder from behind.


    It was Yansu, she was looking at her with curiously and amusement.


    Luosang blushed and said, I was just thinking about something, youve juste back?


    Ive been standing here since the moment Mr. Nian held you in his embrace, you just didnt have the headspace to think about anything else, Yansu teased her, Fast progress ay, youre already hugging, how many days has it been since you guys got together?


    Luosang looked at her sternly, Enough, lets head up. Mr. Nian brought me some goose meat, its pretty good.


    Yansu looked at her in surprise, Wow, didnt see him as someone who would deliver supper to anye at night. Thought his EQ was too low for such a sweet gesture.


    He does have low EQ, but he is quite motivated and takes a lot of initiative. If a man truly cares about a woman, she would know it. I think that it might not be necessary to look for a man with high EQ, most guys like that are yboys who coddle theirdies with sweet talk, Luosang said with augh, After getting to know him, youll find that Mr. Nian doesnt have the bad habits of those rich yboys.


    Wow, look at you, showering him with high praise and defending him loyally. Youre a changed person now, Yansu bumped her shoulders mischievously.


    When they returned to their room, Tang Ning was back as well, they shared a bowl of goose meat before Luosang took a shower. The unpleasant feelings she had after the encounter with Yi Jingxi was slowly being washed away.


    At the Tianhu Vi.


    It was 11.30pm and Nian Junting lugged four big bags of fruits into the house. Nian Xi waszing on the couch watching television. When she saw him walk in, her eyes lit up, Wa brother, did you buy all these back because Iined about theck of snacks at your ce just now? Did you know that I wasing over? Im so touched, brother.


    She sat up on the couch immediately and reached out for the bags.


    Nian Junting blocked her reach and said, This is not for you, step aside.


    Nian Xi looked around and said, Theres only me around, who are these for then? Dont tell me its for Sansan, she not even around.


    Yeah, I know, Im going to peel them and deliver them to her tomorrow, Nian Junting called Sister Lan over, Wash these fruits for me.


    Nian Xi was baffled, Bro, are you alright? You hate peeling things.


    Yeah, I know, but I have no choice, he would do anything to kiss her again, no matter how much he detested the task.


    Oh my god, what kind of spell did Sansan cast over you? Nian Xi covered her mouth in disbelief, Ok, its hard for you to find a girlfriend, I wont fight over these with you. Can I just have a little bit, just a little bit?


    I dont know if I bought enough, you can have some grapes and plums, you can have the pomelo if its sour.

 Chapter 203. You Couldnt Sleep Because You Missed Mr. Nian so Much, Did You?

    Chapter 203. You Couldn''t Sleep Because You Missed Mr. Nian so Much, Did You?


    Nian Xi wanted to cry. Why on earth would she eat sour grapefruits?


    Brother, tell mewere you adopted? she asked.


    No, Im our mothers sonyoure adopted, he replied.


    Nian Xi shook her head and said, Alright. Since you wont be nice to me, Ill go to Sangsang. Shes such a good person. Shell definitely look after me.


    Her brother was mean to her, so she decided to count on her future sister-inw.


    Sangsang is years younger than you. How can you ask her to look after you? You should be looking after her, Nian Junting said as he sat on the couch, mercilessly as usual.


    Nian Junting clenched her teeth. Her brother not only refused to offer her peeled fruits but also reminded her of her age. She still remembered that not long ago, she saw Sangsang as an older sister.


    You should go ask Ji Chuan to take good care of you, said Nian Junting ndly. You have a fiance.


    Hearing Ji Chuans name, Nian Xi abruptly frowned, seeming a little upset. We havent talked much recently. Every time I have contacted him, he has told me that he had something to do. Is he really busy? Are you two in touch?


    I dont know. Im busy dating these days. I dont have the time for him. After saying that, Nian Junting received his little sisters sad stare. He felt a little guilty, so he added, Ji Chuan often needs to carry out missions. Of course hes busy. Its normal that he cant reach out to his families and friends sometimes. Have you forgotten that I used to be the same?


    Youre right, but I always feel uneasy. Nian Xi drew her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on it, then said, Brother, I want you to find your happy life as soon as possible. As for the past


    No one can mention what has happened in the past happily. I think its a good thing. While speaking, Nian Junting lowered his head and picked up the knife to cut a grapefruit.


    At that point, Sister Lan came over with a te of washed fruits. Seeing Nian Junting cutting the grapefruit, she hurriedly said, Young Master, you cant peel grapefruits like that. Let me do it.


    No, I need to do it myself, Nian Junting refused her. He had promised Luosang, and he intended to keep his words.


    Nian Xi ate some grapes, then took out her phone, took a picture of her brother, and posted it on WeChat.


    At three oclock at night, Luosang got up to go to the bathroom. Back in bed, she picked up her phone to check her WeChat. Soon, she found Nian Xis newest postMy handsome brother is staying up to peel fruits for me, happy.


    In the picture she posted, Nian Junting was peeling grapes earnestly, looking very elegant.


    Luosang noticed that he was still wearing the same clothes that she saw earlier tonight, which meant he started peeling fruits once he was back home.


    Under Nian Xis post, Nian Junting replied, Youre dreaming, go back to bed.


    Reading that, Luosang smiled. Sometimes, it was warm and sweet to have a brother or sister to squabble with.


    But then, she realized that she might really need to French kiss Nian Junting tomorrow.


    Thinking about that, she immediately pulled up her nket to cover her burning face. She couldnt sleep.


    The next morning, she woke up with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. Seeing her face, Yan Suughed at her and said, You didnt fail to fall asleep because you missed Mr. Nian too much, did you?


    Luosang blushed and said, No, I just had insomnia.


    Yan Su nodded, then responded with, I understand. When I was passionately in love, I couldnt sleep either.


    Luosang didnt say anything. Instead, she walked towards the bathroom. Before she got to the bathroom, her phone rang. She turned back to check her phone, then gave a start. She nearly threw the phone out, as if her hand was burned by it.


    Why didnt you answer it? Is it Mr. Nian? Yan Su asked smilingly.

 Chapter 204. Nothing is more important than kissing you…

    Chapter 204. Nothing is more important than kissing you��


    Luosang hurriedly walked out of the building with her phone in her hands, Junting, have you had breakfast yet?


    Nian Junting never expected Junting to have such a nice ring to it, the words were sweet like melodying from Luosang.


    I finished peeling all the fruits you wanted, three bowls of them. Im bringing them to you right now.


    Luosang said, I am going to the canteen for breakfast and then Ill have to rush to my sses. Why are you so free anyway, dont you have lots of things to do at thepany?


    Nothing is more important than kissing you


    Even if youe right now, I wont have much time to spend with you.


    True, were going to have to take a while if were nning to French kiss, good thinking, Nian Junting said.


    Luosang was baffled, she had just buried herself in a hole that she dug.


    Ille over at around 11am then, when your ss ends, Nian Junting said, Cant keep the fruits for too long, they wont be fresh anymore.


    Luosang was speechless, was he really in such a hurry because of the freshness of the fruits?


    Alright, weve got ourselves a deal, see youter.


    Just like that, Luosang spent most of her morning in a daze.


    At 11 oclock when the bell rang, she received a call from Nian Junting almost immediately, Im parked along thekeside in the school campus, hurry along.


    Ok, he was really in such a hurry.


    Luosang packed up her stuff and stood up from her seat.


    Suddenly, Professor Lee called out to her, Luosang,e here for a while.


    Luosang walked over curiously and he said, Ive discussed things with the school dean, our faculty is nning to have a short skit during the Christmas G and were going to have to choose six persons. Youre going to be part of it along with Shui Chang, Zhang Yang and a couple of others. Do get in touch with themter and youll be in charge of arranging and directing the project. Im entrusting the project to you since youre a mature and reliable student, dont disappoint me, Ive got high hopes for you. All the best with the skit, itll be good if it was an original piece.


    Thanks, Professor Lee, Luosang nodded her head with determination. Forget about dating Nian Junting in her free time, looks like she would have a busy schedule for a while. She was grateful for the opportunity that Professor Lee offered her.


    Ten minutester, she arrived by thekeside and got into Nian Juntings car.


    Nian Junting had an annoyed look on his face, It takes at most 8 minutes for you to get here from Professor Lees ss, you took a total of 10 minutes!


    Professor held me back after ss to talk about something


    Again, with the professors, why do you have so many things on your te, Nian Junting expressed his doubts.


    I have no choice, Im a superstar in my faculty, Luosang briefly told him what Professor Lee offered her earlier, I didnt expect him to entrust me with the short skit as well.


    He has got a good taste, I tell you. Youre my woman, after all, youre extraordinary, Nian Junting was brimming with pride.


    Luosang nearly burst out intoughter, But this means that I wont have much spare time to spend with you.


    Nian Junting frowned instantly, Never mind, I understand. Its my fault for dating a student, I dont want to get in the way of your studies.


    You understand? Luosang was extremely relieved, although he was bossy, he was still reasonable.


    Yeah, lots of girls chased after me when I was studying in the States. It was quite annoying when they disrupted my studying time. I was so close to giving them a tight p to wake them up.


    What an unfeeling man.

 Chapter 205. I Wont Take Advantage of You. Ill Wear Swimming Trunks for You

    Chapter 205. I Won''t Take Advantage of You. I''ll Wear Swimming Trunks for You


    But you need to spend time with me next winter vacation. Youre not going back to An City anyway. Lets go to the seaside. You should get some rest, as youve been studying really, really hard, Nian Junting said excitedly. And, you can wear bikinis for me.


    Bikinis? That was your goal, wasnt it? Luosang asked.


    I wont take advantage of you. Ill wear swimming trunks for you, he said.


    Who wants to see you in swimming trunks?


    I dont want to visit the seaside, she said. I want to go somewhere colder to make a snowman.


    I dont like cold ces. He frowned and said honestly, Youll be wearing much clothes.


    If she wore too much clothes, something might not be able to happen naturally. Besides, it would take extra effort for him to remove her clothes.


    Luosang rolled her eyes.


    Enough about that. Ive peeled the fruits you wanted. Nian Junting took out the fruits from the small fridge and said, I peeled them all. Look, my fingernails have even changed color.


    Luosang held his slender fingers and gave them a closer look, then admired that he did try hard for a French kiss.


    Stop looking at my fingers. You should do what you promised me. Nian Junting put the fruits aside and dragged her into his arms. Without giving her a chance to speak, he pressed his lips against hers.


    Luosang widened her eyes to nce around and saw that the students passing by were all looking at this eye-catching, off-road vehicle.


    The red-faced Luosang pushed him away and said, This is my school. Cant you wait for a second?


    No. Dont be nervous. They cant see us from the outside. Without allowing her to say another word, he opened her mouth with his tongue passionately and aggressively.


    He didnt know what she ate, but she smelled like mint. Her smell stimted him, urging him to sweep across her mouth. He kissed her so hard that she couldnt even maintain her breath.


    Luosang was nervous and shy. She couldnt even think when she was being kissed by him like that. Without knowing how, she put her arms around his neck to respond to him.


    He kissed her like a thunderstorm while she kissed him back like a drizzle. However, he still felt her, so he slowed down.


    In this long kiss, they chased each other and yed; their breaths were disordered.


    Luosang couldnt tell how long the kiss hadsted when she felt a hand on her chest, which was slightly cold. She quivered, then hurriedly pushed him away.


    After that, he took his hand out of her shirt.


    You cant do that. Her face turned rosy with anger.


    Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her red and moisturized lips. But after all, he wasnt an unreasonable man. He understood that he might have frightened her, so he apologized sincerely.


    Im sorry.


    Luosang paused for a second, as he hardly apologized without arguing.


    You You cant do that without my permission again, she said.


    She didnt understand why he grabbed her so hard. He even hurted her a little just now.


    When can I do that? Nian Junting asked, How about I peel you fruits every day?


    In your dreams. Luosang red at him and responded with, Because you just did it without my permission, you need to prepare me two bowls of grapes and a bowl of grapefruit like today every time you want to kiss me.


    Luo, you cant be too cruel, he pulled a long face and said.


    How is this cruel? I used to peel fruits for you every day. I told you my fingers hurt, and you said that I was pretending, and that I waszy, Luosang said. But of course, you can refuse to do it. The worst result is just that you dont get to kiss me anymore. Itll be my decision to make anyway.

 Chapter 206. Im going to kiss you for half an hour straight, thatll surely take your breath away

    Chapter 206. I''m going to kiss you for half an hour straight, that''ll surely take your breath away


    Fine, Nian Junting gritted his teeth, pulled out his phone and dialed Lu Kangs number, Now, go get me grapes and plum of 15kg each, as well as 100 kilograms worth of pomelos. Put them in my office.


    Lu Kang was shell-shocked, Mr. Nian, what are you going to do with so many grapes and plums? Are you giving them out to the workers, I dont recall any uing events?


    Nah, just leave them in my office, Nian Junting hung up and smirked at Luosang.


    Im going to peel ten bowls at one go, Im going to kiss you for half an hour straight, thatll surely take your breath away.


    She regretted what she had said, this man wasnt a normal person, Its not appropriate for a CEO to be peeling fruits in his office all day long.


    Wont matter, no one knows what Im up to in the office once I shut the door anyway, Nian Junting nced at his watch, Lets go eat first


    Lets eat around here, I have a meeting with the project members of the short skitter at 2pm. I know an eatery around here with decent food, Luosang said.


    Did they get an A from the Agri-food authority? Nian Junting asked.


    Luosang had nothing to say, she didnt pay much attention to hygiene ratings.


    Judging from your response, they must have been certified with a B. Never mind, I shall make an exception for you andpromise on my hygiene standards. Im thinking of opening a restaurant around here, should I ask Lu Kang to proceed with the execution? Well be hanging around here much more often now, Nian Junting sighed.


    Luosang was feeling anxious, she wasnt used to the world he lived in all his life, I dont think that will be necessary, Im graduating next year after all. Brother Lu must be busy too, you have all sorts of funny tasks lined up for him. Thats why he is still single.


    True, he hasnt managed to win Yan Sus heart.


    He doesnt even have the chance to win her heart, he is always at your beck and whim, Luosang thought.


    After ten minutes, they arrived at the eatery that Luosang was referring to. They specialized in Huaiyang cuisine and business was booming. Thankfully they got there earlier than the lunch crowd and managed to get a seat in one of the booths in the back.


    Luosang ordered most of the dishes.


    When the waiter excused himself, Luosangs phone rang. She looked down at the caller ID and her face dropped and she immediately declined the call.


    Whats the matter, is that the guy who was harassing youst night? Nian Junting asked with concern.


    No, it just some tele-advertiser, I could tell by the first digits of their number, Luosang said as she proceeded to block the number, she swiftly changed the topic, Chuens birthday is in the first week of the next month, shes going to hold a birthday party for all her close friends and rtives, are you going to be there?


    I dont really talk to her side of the family, Nian Xi, on the other hand, is quite close to them. She should be attending the party, Nian Junting paused before a grin crept onto his face, But if you want to go, I can apany you there, just for you. Ill have to make some arrangement though.


    Its up to you, Luosangughed.


    When Yi Jingxi redialed her number, he was put through the service provider.


    He was blocked.


    When he considered the possibility that Luosang blocked his number, he clenched his phone tightly in his grasp. Soon, he broke into a smile, he thought that Luosang was merely throwing a tantrum over the loss of Xiao Si and woulde crawling back to him in no time.


    Zeng Zhun entered the room after receiving a call, Ive got news; the web drama that Producer Yuan is doing was approved at the assessment, it will be screening tomorrow.


    Yi Jingxi turned his head violently, What did you say?


    Zeng Zhun sighed, I asked around, Xiao Si has been using his connections. Mr. Yi, the online provider was also in a conundrum, too bad

 Chapter 207. Are You Aware that I Have A Girlfriend Now?

    Chapter 207. Are You Aware that I Have A Girlfriend Now?


    Before he finished, Yi Jingxi threw his phone at the wall.


    Crack! The phone fell apart.


    Remember that video site. From now on, all of our movies and series wont be on that site. And for all crews that want to film in our movie and television base, were going to tell them that they arent allowed to air their works on that website.


    Zeng Zhun frowned and said, Calm down. Youll be challenging Xiao Si.


    I might have been afraid of him a year ago, but now, Im not. Yi Jingxi smiled coldly.


    Xiao Family never touched the film and television industry. Im holding the advantage here. Im just surprised that hes still willing to help Luosang after yesterday. It seems that Luosang exined to him her situation.


    Then what should we do? Zeng Zhun said helplessly, I say we should let it go


    Let it go? Yi Jingxi didnt respond, but Zhong Yi, who stood beside him, did.


    How can we possibly let it go? Jingxi loves her so much, she said. Earlier at a party, I met a girl who was recently signed by Star Music and Culture. Her name is Ye Chuen, and shes Luosangs roommate. Shell celebrate her birthday at the beginning of next month, and she has invited me to her birthday party.


    Yi Jingxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi smiled and continued, Ye Chuen has a good background. I heard that her aunt is the Chairman of Zhong Zhou Group Cooperation. Her parents are working at Zhong Zhou Group, so I think some high-ss people will attend that party. And I think, as her friend, Luosang will go too. Jingxi, would you like to go with me?


    Sure, we have to go, said Yi Jingxi, But dont ept Ye Chuens invitation now. The night before her birthday, you tell her that you have the time. Otherwise, Luosang might refuse to attend the party if she hears that Im going.


    Sure. Zhong Yi nodded with a meaningful smile.


    After returning to school, Luosang got a call from Supervisor Yuan at about three oclock. Thetter told her that the online series had passed the censorship, but will air on another video site.


    Luosang thought for a moment, then asked Nian Xi for Xiao Sis number. She didnt ask Nian Junting for it, because Nian Junting was terribly imaginative.


    She called Xiao Si to say thank you.


    Mr. Xiao, apart from the online series, I also need to thank you for not telling Mr. Nian about my past.


    That doesnt mean you can keep it secret from him for a long time, Xiao Si responded ndly. Ive asked Zhou Yanfeng about what happened yesterday. You didnt lie. Yi Jingxi pulled you, and then you fell on him. You should stay away from him. What he did was awful. After all, you were his fiancee. He has earned his ce in the film and television circle during the past few years. I thought itd be easy to solve your problem, but in the end, Ive spent quite some effort for it. Its mostly because of the movie and television base he developed. Many people arent willing to offend him.


    I get it, said Luosang.


    After the call, Xiao Si walked directly to the CEOs office.


    He didnt knock the door, but walked straight in. The office was filled with the aroma of grapefruits.


    Nian Junting was sitting in his armchair, slowly peeling a grapefruit with both hands, with twoputers on the table. From time to time, he would nce at the twoputers to check the stock market and the futures market.


    This scene in his office was extremely rare and weird.


    Xiao Sis mouth corner twitched slightly, then he said, Xixi said that Xu


    Before finishing his sentence, he paused hurriedly.


    Xu what? Nian Junting frowned and said, Cant you knock on the door beforeing in? Are you aware that I now have a girlfriend?

 Chapter 208. Judging by her innocent looks, I must be her first

    Chapter 208. Judging by her innocent looks, I must be her first


    Alright, its my bad the previous time, will you please let me go?


    Xiao Si felt the urge to tease Nian Junting further, What has this got to do with you having a girlfriend? This is not your bedroom after all.


    Of course, it is rted, Nian Junting smirked, If Luosang decides toe here one day to make out, I cant allow you to barge in like this. She will be extremely embarrassed, my prideful woman.


    Xiao Si was speechless, his brother was being delusional again, living in his own imagination. Xiao Si thought about Nian Juntings reaction if he ever found out about Yi Jingxi and Luosangs rtionship, he would probably be hopping mad.


    Are you serious?


    I am serious about everything under the sun, Nian Junting proceeded to peel another pomelo and remove its seeds, his hands were burning from all the fruits that he had already peeled. Luosang was right, he did mistreat her previously.


    Oh, Xiao Si looked hesitant, Did you know if Luosang had an ex-boyfriend?


    Not sure, Nian Junting paused before reassuring himself, Judging by her innocent looks, I must be her first.


    Innocent look whos the innocent one here, Xiao Si thought.


    He had no heart to tease him further, What if she did?


    Have an ex-boyfriend?


    Nian Junting raised his head to meet Xiao Sis gaze, he pictured Luosangs supple lips kissing another man and shuddered in anger, If she did, he better not show up in front of me. Why are you asking about this anyway, what do you know?


    Nothing, what can I know? Xiao Si stood up guiltily, he wasnt sure how violently Nian Junting would react to this piece of news.


    If I told him that Luosang had an ex-boyfriend, an ex-fianc that is, he would probably take all his anger out on me. Thatll be a terrifying experience, Xiao Si thought.


    Um I got an appointment that I forgot about, Im going to take my leave. You carry on.


    Xiao Si slipped out of the office quickly.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes before turning his attention back on the fruits in front of him. He had more free time nowadays, to peel more bowls of fruit for Luosang. When she was done with whatever she was busy with, he would im all the hours at once, kissing her lips till it swelled.


    In the next couple of days, Luosang spent most of her time on the short skit. She appointed the talent Zhang Yang as the creative director and he drafted the skeleton of the storyline. The six of them met often to fine tune the details of the plot and they took an entire week to finalize the script.


    On Saturday night, Nian Junting delivered supper to her and read the script that she brought along with her. He chuckled coldly, Youths, even your script is all about love and boy-girl rtionships, childish.


    Luosang munched on the loquat cake that he brought and looked up him incredulously, Whats wrong with boy-girl rtionships? Are you having a rtionship with me right now? You are childish too.


    I think you should focus more on family rtionships, Nian Junting pointed at the manuscript, The script is filled with hugs and kisses, baby and honey nicknames for each other, it doesnt reflect well on you guys.


    Hey, youre only 29 years old, ok? Youre not 49 years old, Luosang reminded him, Its normal for couples to call each other baby and honey.


    I can call you that and you can call me that as well, but I wont allow anyone else to call you baby, Nian Junting pointed at the script and insisted, You are only allowed to act as the male leads father in this skit.

 Chapter 209. I Have Never Seen A Jealous Man like You

    Chapter 209. I Have Never Seen A Jealous Man like You


    Luosang didn''t know what to say.


    Nian Junting was talking in a bossy tone, and Luosang was a little muddle headed.


    "Stop joking. His father is a man"


    "Isn''t cross-gender performance a good thing to do?"


    "The problem is, his father is in his forties."


    "I believe in your acting skills. You can do it effortlessly." Nian Junting took out another piece of loquat cake and handed it to Luosang. "Eat more if you like it."


    It''s not about if I can do it effortlessly or not, okay? She even wanted to throw the cake at Nian Junting''s face.


    "I can''t promise you that. The show will be performed by three boys and three girls, and there will be three male characters and three female characters in it. You suddenly asked me to y a middle-aged man. Well I''m actually fine with it, but it means a boy among us would have to y a twenty-year-old girl. No one would agree to that."


    Nian Junting knitted his brows and said, "I don''t think so. I think the cross-gender performance will certainly make your show the biggest surprise of the night. You should talk to them. I wouldn''t want you to miss such a good opportunity of getting more attention because of some unimportant reason."


    Luosang rolled her eyes. She didn''t even want to continue the conversation. Surprise? How can you even say that? I''ve never seen a man as jealous as you.


    Luosang was tired of arguing with him, so she quickly nodded. I can do whatever I want; he won''t be there anyway.


    "Ah, I''ve talked to your president. I''ll be there at the Christmas g too. I''ll be sitting in the middle of the first roll. You should do your best. I look forward to your cross-gender performance," said Nian Junting.


    After he finished talking, he rubbed Luosang''s head. Then, he felt it wasn''t enough, so he killed her lips and tasted loquat mixed with sweet cream.


    Luosang paused briefly, then said, "IDon''t think it''s necessary for you toe as you''re not from the film and television industry"


    "So do you want me to be alone on Christmas?" Nian Junting pulled a long face and stared at her with discontent.


    "Like you''ve ever celebrated Christmas with a girlfriend before" Luosang murmured with a low voice.


    "Of course not. I was single before, so I didn''t care. But now I suddenly want to be with my girlfriend on Christmas. Sometimes, when I see other couples when I''m alone, I want very much to tear them apart," responded Nian Junting.


    It''s awful Luosang didn''t know what to say. Nian Junting looked at her pitifully, reminding her of abandoned, poor, little puppies. She really didn''t have the heart to say no to him.


    The next day, when allocating roles, Luosang suggested a cross-gender performance. A boy immediatelyughed and rejected her. "Cross-gender? Are you joking? It may draw us attention, but people will only notice us because they think it''s ridiculous."


    "Yeah, Luosang, your idea is ridiculous," said a girl named Yao Yueyue. "Mr. Li selected these three boys, not because they''re the best students among all, but because they''re the prettiest ones. The y was created in a way to show the best of each of us. Your idea will ruin the whole thing."


    "Alright." Luosang knew that she was wrong, so she only nodded.


    This month was ending soon. Luosang wasn''t only busy with preparing the show, but also with Ye Chuen''s birthday party.


    In the evening, she and her roommates had a chat about the birthday party in their dorm room.


    "I don''t remember if I''ve mentioned to you that my great-aunt is the Madam President of Zhong Zhou Group. My parents are both working at the group. This time, some friends of my parents will attend my birthday party, and so will my great-aunt."

 Chapter 210. Junting brother is akin to Mount Everest

    Chapter 210. Junting brother is akin to Mount Everest


    Luosan was surprised, the Chairwoman of Zhong Zhou Group Corporations would be Nian Juntings grandma. She wondered if Murong Cheng would be there as well.


    Will the CEO of Zhong Zhou Group Corporations be there as well?


    My auntie? Shes quite the busy bee, I heard shes on a business trip in the States, she wont be able to attend the party. Shell send a gift though, Chuen boasted.


    Youre amazing, Chuen, youre talking about the Zhong Zhou Group Corporations. Thatpany is top three hundred worldwide, even an ordinary clerk in thatpany earns 10,000 dors every month. Every fresh graduate is dying to work there. Hmm, Mr. Nian we met earlier on will be the heir of thepany? Tang Ning said enviously.


    Yeah, my auntie only has one son, her daughter doesnt care for corporate business.


    Amazing, that was the first time I ever met such a rich and handsome heir, whoever who marries him will be a lucky girl, Tang Ning nced at Luosan.


    Luoluo, I saw him talking to you that day. Given your looks, you might stand a chance if you try to get closer to him.


    Dont imagine things, Ye Chuen chuckled lightly, Junting brother has an evil mouth, he speaks vile things. No ordinary woman can handle him.


    Luosan had to agree with her wholeheartedly.


    Another thing they are a reputable and powerful family, you think it would be so easy to marry into that family? They would want a matched marriage, this isnt a television drama series.


    Ye Chuen cautioned Luosan, Luoluo, dont get me wrong, Im not saying that youre not good enough for the family. Given how pretty you are, you wont have any troublending yourself a rich, good-looking man. Im talking about men who are akin to Mount Tai and Mount Hua, Junting brother is akin to Mount Everest.


    I know, I wont take offense, Luosan smiled casually, Yan Su was looking at her too.


    Thats good, I just dont want you to be hurt, Ye Chuen remarked, Oh right, I prepared evening gowns for all of you! They will be delivered tomorrow before lunch, remember to wear them at my birthday party!


    Aw, thats so sweet, Chuen. We really dont have any formal gowns for the asion, Tang Ning chirped happily and hugged Chuen tightly.


    Im counting on you to be my emcee, Luosan, Chuen said as she prepared to shower.


    Luosan picked up the hot water bottle and headed down, Yan Su picked hers up and followed behind her.


    Hey, you alright?


    Huh?


    What Chuen said earlier


    You know that I considered all those things before I started dating him. We only just started seeing each other, Im just going to enjoy what we have now, Ill worry about the restter. Should I really decide to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him, I am willing to give Mount Everest a shot if he gives me his word.


    Luosan looked at her and continued, How about you? Why didnt you tell me that Chuen was the lead in the musical? That wasnt nice of her; you guys are both in the same faculty after all. If you told me about it, I wouldnt have agreed to host her birthday party.


    Sometimes, its not that she is trying to overshadow me on purpose. The professors know who she is, they offered her the role without her asking. Shes going to release an album soon too. If I get scouted now, well both release our albums at the same time,peting for sales. People would naturallypare us against one another, things might get much uglier then. Im just d I have you to look out for me.

 Chapter 211. You Owe Me Nineteen French Kisses

    Chapter 211. You Owe Me Neen French Kisses


    But I wont just turn against her openly, or offend her. If I did, I wouldnt even get to y a minor role in the musical. Yan Su lowered her voice and said, Youre Nian Juntings girlfriend now. His mother has been helping Ye Chuen. Would you put him and his mother in a difficult position? Besides, your rtionship started just recently. After all, were both nobodies.


    I mean, if shes really your friend, shell understand your difficulties and share the opportunity with you said Luosang.


    I was never meant to be real friends with her. Yan Su shrugged and said, You think the others in our department are happy with that? No one is. And yet, everyone whos invited to her birthday party will attend that party. I heard that quite a few senior students in our school who have started working on films and TV shows will all attend, including Chi Shengxu.


    Luosang sighed, feeling anxious for Yan Su.


    Dont worry. Therell be arge singing talent show in Hang Zhou next year. I n to sign up for it. Yan Su stayed silent for a few seconds, then continued, And Ill move out next year. I want to rent a t outside the school, but I need a tmate to share the rent. I cant afford an entire t


    We can share, Luosang held her hand andughed. I have the same n, but I cant afford an entire t either.


    Yan Su chuckled and said, Are you sure Mr. Nian wont invite you to live with him?


    Luosang blushed. The first day she became his girlfriend, he wanted to bring her back to Tianhu Vi. She felt it was quite possible for Nian Junting to invite her to live together with him.


    I wont live with any man before marriage, she said.


    Youre right. Girls need to know how to look after themselves, responded Yan Su.


    The next day, the three dresses ordered by Ye Chuen were delivered to the dorm. While trying on the dresses, Luosang got a call from Nian Junting.


    What are you doing? Ive peeled ten bowls of grape and grapefruit. Ive kissed you once this morning, so you now owe me neen French kisses, Hearing Nian Juntings happy voice, Luosang felt her scalp go numb.


    She shouldnt havee up with the idea at first ce. She intended to teach him a lesson with it, but as a result, she taught herself a lesson, while Nian Junting seemed to be enjoying this game.


    Luosang didnt say anything.


    Hello? You cant swallow your words. After three seconds of silence, Nian Juntingined, Because of what you have required, my fingers hurt now.


    Alright, you can stop peeling fruits. Ive canceled that rule, said Luosang in a weak voice.


    You have? Nian Junting was immediately thrilled. So I can kiss you whenever and wherever I want? I can kiss you twenty, no, thirty times a day. Great! You should have done this long ago.


    Luosang had an impulse to bite off her own tongue.


    She wasnt alone in the dorm room, so she didnt want to talk too much about French kissing him over the phone.


    What are you doing? Are you preparing the y? he asked.


    No. Im trying on a dress. Tomorrow is Chuens birthday. She sent us each a dress for the party, so Im trying it now, said Luosang.


    Yeah? Take a picture of you in the dress and send it to me, said Nian Junting excitedly.


    Luosang walked outside and said in a low voice that only Nian Junting and herself could hear, Youll be seeing me in it tomorrow.

 Chapter 212. Apart from you, everyone else is an ugly duckling

    Chapter 212. Apart from you, everyone else is an ugly duckling


    I want to be surprised now, Nian Junting said, Besides, Ye Chuen is so ugly. She might prepare ugly gowns for you guys for her to shine brighter tomorrow.


    Hey, she is still your rtive. Objectively speaking, she is quite beautiful, is it nice to speak of her that way? Luosang was too tired to reprimand him properly.


    Whats wrong with that? Apart from you, everyone else is an ugly duckling.


    Luosang batted her eyelids, she was still moved by what he said even though she had anticipated it. He probably said that in confidence of his own taste in women, nothing to do with how she looks.


    Didnt you use me of undergoing stic surgery? Why do you think Im pretty now?


    Yeah, youre the most sessful surgery Ive ever seen. Its so natural.


    She shouldnt have asked.


    Send a photo, Ill give you two minutes to send it to my WeChat, Nian Junting said hastily before hanging up.


    Luosang returned to her dormitory room and snapped a couple of photos and sent them to him. She wasnt entirely pleased with how she looked but she didnt want him to be grumpy.


    Nian Junting called her back almost immediately, Why are you wearing white? You look quite in. Youre also showing too much cleavage, I prohibit it.


    She knew she shouldnt have sent him the photos.


    She sighed and said, I think its alright, she gave it to me especially for this asion. It wouldnt be nice if I didnt wear it. No way Im showing too much cleavage, only my corbones are exposed.


    Ill send another gown to you, Nian Junting ignored her.


    I dont want it, dont be ridiculous, Luosang pleaded, Its Chuens birthday, I shouldnt steal her thunder by wearing something too extravagant. Are you trying to ruin our friendship?


    You look prettier than her whatever youre wearing, Nian Junting said matter-of-factly.


    Luosang didnt know if it was funny or sweet, Im hosting the party tomorrow, I cant overshadow the star of the show.


    Why are you the emcee, youre going to catch the attention of so many men that way, Nian Junting said spitefully.


    Luosang was fighting back a smile, he was both frustrating and adorable at the same time, Well, you didnt think I was pretty back then, you always hurled insults at me.


    Youre the prettiest girl Ive ever met ever since we started dating.


    Meaning Im not pretty if I wasnt dating you? Luosang thought.


    She asked me to be the emcee, I couldnt refuse, Luosang was speechless, Oh right, dont be too affectionate with me at the party tomorrow, I heard that your grandmother would be there too. I dont want to be introduced to your family so soon.


    What do you mean? Am I supposed to stand back and watch other men hit on you?


    Try not to think of me as irresistibly attractive.


    You managed to attract me, the most perfect man on the. What do you think of your attractiveness? Nian Junting grunted.


    Luosang inhaled sharply, You dont want your family to be talking about us behind our backs right, weve barely been together for two weeks!


    Nian Junting thought about how naggy his grandmother was and shuddered, Alright, I know, Ill bring Xiaosi along tomorrow to stand guard by your side. No one shalle near you.

 Chapter 213. Nian Junting Broke in with Large Steps

    Chapter 213. Nian Junting Broke in with Large Steps


    Dont worry, Ill pretend that I dont know you well. If my family asks about you, Ill tell them that youre so pretty that even Xiaosi got attracted by you, he said.


    Do what you like Luosang honestly didnt know what else to say.


    At six after dinner, Luosang began preparing for the Christmas show in the dancing room with a few ssmates of hers.


    After the first rehearsal, Luosang felt that their performances werent good enough.


    Shui Chang, your rap was fluent, but not natural enough, and you looked a little stiff. And Zhang Yang, you missed two dance steps just now, she said.


    Im sorry, Ill do better next time. Zhang Yang rubbed his hair embarrassedly.


    Why did you apologize? asked Shui Chang. Our part is the most difficult part.


    But you two are ying the most important two roles in the show, Luosang reminded her ndly.


    You chose the roles yourselves. Youre ying a big part, so itll surely be a little difficult. If youre gonna rehearse with that attitude, Ill have no choice but to rece you with Yao Yueyue.


    YouDont cross the line. Shui Chang stomped her foot and said, Dont think you can do anything you want because Professor Li put you in charge. Im highly valued by Professor Li too. Its just my grade is slightly lower than yours.


    Alright, stop fighting. Were all doing this for our department. Shui Chang, Luosang didnt point out just your mistakes; she gave advice to all of us. Plus, she has keen eyes. She can easily spot our ws. None of us can do as well as she does. Yuan Zichu kindly tried to mediate the dispute.


    Yeah, help her. Everyone knows that she has a rich boyfriend, Shui Chang pouted.


    The others all felt a little embarrassed. Yao Yueyue hurriedly brought some drinks and said, Come on, lets have a drink and take a break.


    Zichu, you bought us drinks again. Youre nice. Ill buy it next time, Lei Yu smiled and said.


    Its nothing. These ones arent expensive anyway. Yuan Zichu nced at Luosang and gave her a smile.


    Five minutester, they finished the drinks. Luosang stood up and said, Lets rehearse again.


    Cant we rest a little longer? Shui Chang pouted and asked.


    Shui Chang, lets show some respect to Luosang, said Zhang Yang. She still needs prepare for the emcees speech at night.


    I only have a few lines. Ill do two full rehearsals with you all, then you guys can continue without me, said Luosang. After rehearsal, she needed to draft the emcees speech for Ye Chuens birthday party.


    Come on, everybody. Get in position. Yuan Zizhu stood up.


    In the show, Luosang and Yuan Zichu were a couple. They wouldnt appear in many parts, but every time they would appear, they would be holding hands.


    While performing the rap, Shui Chang suddenly got a glimpse of a handsome man through the window. The light was dim, but it outlined the mans beautiful face, straight nose, and shiny eyes that looked like the eyes of a wolf hiding in the darkness.


    Shui Changs heart missed a beat, and her tongue trembled, so she messed up her line.


    Shui Chang, you made worse mistakes than you made thest time, Luosang turned back and saw that Shui Chang was looking at the window. Whileining, she turned to nce at the window. However, she saw nothing but a tree out there.


    What are you looking at? she asked.


    I sawa very handsome man before Shui Chang finished, the door of the dancing room was violently pushed open.


    Nian Junting broke in withrge steps. He was wearing a id suit, and he was angry.

 Chapter 214. You are not allowed to have any skin contact with another man apart from me

    Chapter 214. You are not allowed to have any skin contact with another man apart from me


    Luosang was shocked and before she could react, Nian Junting was already walking towards her. He pulled her into his embrace with his strong arms.


    She released that she was holding Yuan Zichus hands because of the short skit.


    Release her now, Nian Junting red at Yuan Zichu, he looked livid, like he was about to hurt someone.


    Yuan Zichu was terrified and released her hands immediately, Sansan, who is he


    Dont call her Sansan ever again, address her as Luosang, Nian Junting warned, he was being kind to her female friends by granting them permission to call her Sansan.


    Who are you? Lei Yu said in an antagonizing manner.


    Nian Junting nced at him quietly, he quickly realized that the three men who were in the same skit as Luosang were all decent looking. Although they were a far stretch from his own handsome looks.


    So, she had been spending all her time with them.


    I am her boyfriend, Nian Junting squeezed her shoulder.


    The two girls expressed their jealousy through their eyes, Shui Chang especially. Her heart was already beating quickly when she caught sight of Nian Junting when he entered the room.


    Although their faculty was full of good-looking boys, they had a boyish, immature look. The man standing in front of her was tall and strong, with perfect features and a sharp jawline. It didnt hurt that he was also wearing an expensive suit and an equally pricey watch.


    She thought that the online posts about Luosang and her rich boyfriend had been false rumors, now she knew that it was the truth and she felt jealousy overwhelm her.


    Hey Luosang, this is too much. Whoever your boyfriend is, how can he barge in here and disrupt our rehearsals


    Shui Chang erupted first, but she caught sight of Nian Juntings re before she could finish ranting. He emitted a domineering vibe that silenced her immediately.


    Who are you to criticize my girlfriend? Nian Junting took a step forward, his tall shadow forced Shui Chang to back away.


    Follow me, Luosang grabbed his wrist and pulled him away.


    Nian Junting stood still and red at Yuan Zichu.


    Im going to ignore you if you dont follow me out, Luosang stamped her feet in anger.


    Nian Junting looked at her before shuffling his feet.


    You guys go ahead first without me, Ill be back, Luosang said as she pulled Nian Junting to the stairnding. He flew into a tantrum before she could speak, You lied to me, you said you were ying a forty-year-old middle-aged man!


    Luosang was grim, When did I ever say that? Youmanded me to do so, I really tried my best but they didnt think it was appropriate. Theres nothing I can do.


    You shouldnt have promised me in the first ce if you couldnt keep your word.


    I didnt promise you anything, Luosang said with frustration.


    Silence means consent.


    Nian Junting grabbed her wrist and raised it to eye level, You even allowed him to grab you like this just now, he had you in his arms and you were looking at him with love and affection.


    He was fuming as he continued to rant.


    He could do these things with her only recently.


    Were acting in a skit!


    I wont allow it even if its acting. Luosang, you are not allowed to have any skin contact with another man apart from me. Especially not with that dog, Nian Junting said and frowned.

 Chapter 215. Luosang, You Impressed Me

    Chapter 215. Luosang, You Impressed Me


    Dont you always consider yourself perfect and confident? Why do you mind this so much? asked Luosang curiously.


    Youre right. But this man is not as handsome as I am, and hes notparable to me. For this very reason, he cant hold your hand because youre my woman. Its not just a humiliation to you, but its the same to me, Nian Junting replied in an arrogant way.


    Are you saying that if I hold hands with someone whos better than you in all aspects, you wont be mad? she asked.


    Nian Junting looked at her and responded with, Is there anyone in this world that is better than me? Can you find one?


    Luosang took a deep breath, then took an evem deeper one. She always thought that she was a calm and gentle person, but ever since she became Nian Juntings girlfriend, she often wanted to use violence.


    Alright, Ill forgive you this time. Dont ever let me see you do anything like that with any other man, Nian Junting wrapped it up.


    Im sorry. Im afraid I cant do what you asked. Luosang raised her head to look at him in the eyes.


    We cant change our y. Weve been rehearsing for a while. By asking me to change the y for you, youre asking me to give up on all the efforts weve made these days, and to start over. We dont have enough time for that. Besides, my professor put me in charge because he trusted me. I cant bring difficulty to the whole team for some personal reason.


    Hearing her words, Nian Junting again showed anger in his eyes. Iwillnotallowthat he said through clenched teeth word by word.


    Can you stop being unreasonable? Luosang didnt think that he would be so possessive.


    If I was unreasonable, Id have kicked that man away when he was holding your hands and putting his arms around you just now, he said angrily. Ive already told you that you can only do a cross-gender performance, but you didnt do what I asked. And now, Im still amodating myself to you. If you want to be with me, you need to y another role, or rewrite the y.


    Just this once, then itll never happen again, okay? Luosang held his hands and begged.


    No.


    Luosang frowned and let go of his hands. Finally, she shook her head and said, I cant do what you said. I have a bottom line too.


    Nian Junting was enraged. Ever since he was little, everyone would try anything to suit him. But in Luosangs heart, he wasnt even as important as her y.


    Luosang, you have impressed me, he said.


    Then, he turned and walked downstairs in big steps. He raised a foot, as he wanted to kick away the bin downstairs, but then he put his foot back down and left with anger.


    Luosang rubbed her forehead. Things might be the same for every couple. They would feel different about each other after they became a couple. Before building a rtionship, they may find each other adorable and tolerate each other no matter how, but after bing boyfriend and girlfriend, they would have more and more conflicts, and they would need to learn to make concessions. However, she couldnt always be the one to make concessions.


    He was so terribly jealous.


    Fortunately, she had never thought of bing an actor, otherwise he might explode with jealousy every single day.


    Back in the dancing room, Shui Chang and the others whispered to each other. As Luosang came in, Yuan Zichu asked with concern, Sangsang, your boyfriend didnt give you a hard time, did him? He looked mad. Did you exin everything to him?


    Zichu, didnt you hear her boyfriend warn you just now? Dont call her Sangsang; call her Luo Sang. Shui Changughed sarcastically. Your boyfriend is so envious. Yueyue has a boyfriend too, but her boyfriend didnt break in and yell around while we were rehearsing.

 Chapter 216. Mr. Nian is sure a petty man, but it also goes to show that he cares about you

    Chapter 216. Mr. Nian is sure a petty man, but it also goes to show that he cares about you


    I apologize to all of you on behalf of my boyfriend, hes in a bad mood recently. Lets get on with the rehearsals, lets not waste any more time, Luosang said sincerely.


    Whos wasting precious time here? Shui Chang pouted.


    Enough, Luosang gave her a look, You were the first to stumble with your lines just now, even before my boyfriend barged in here.


    He scared me when I saw him standing by the window.


    What are you babbling about, did he re at you or did he speak to you? He didnt even take a second look at you, dont me him for yourck of focus. If you really dislike receiving orders from me, I can go tell Professor Li to put you in charge instead, Luosang said dismissively. Shui Chang looked away in shame and kept quiet.


    Lets continue then.


    At eleven oclock, Yan Su was back from her part-time job and Luosang was sitting on her bed reading a book. She chuckled quietly and whispered to Luosang, You should be in a good mood today, you got to see Mr. Nian tonight.


    Luosang put down her book and said, You were the one who told him where to find me?


    Yeah, he caught me when I was heading out. He said that you werent picking up his calls and I told him to try his luck at the dance studio, why?


    No wonder he found his way there, Luosang forced a smile, He saw me acting with Yuan Zichu and it was a more intimate scene. We fought about that.


    Whats there to fight about? Mr. Nian is sure a petty man, but it also goes to show that he cares about you. Dont worry about it, itll blow over in a couple of days, Yan Su smiled and grabbed her clothes for a quick shower. She was exhausted from singing all night long.


    Sunday, Ye Chuens birthday.


    After their second ss in the morning, Luosang and Tang Ning emerged from their ssroom and Chi Shengxu was leaning against the banister outside their ss. He was wearing an embroidered jacket with light-washed jeans, his hands in his pockets, he adjusted his posture when he caught sight of them, Sansan, are you guys heading to Chuens birthday? Lets head there together, I can drive and you can navigate.


    Luosang thought about Nian Juntings jealous expression, We have to go back to our room to put on makeup, itll take us another forty-five minutes.


    Its ok, I can wait for you guys, I dont want to go there alone, Im not very familiar with the crowd, Chi Shengxu said with a shrug.


    Ok ok, well make haste, Tang Ning said quickly, I know the way to her ce.


    Great! Ill be in the car, Chi Shengxu gave them a bright warm smile.


    Luosang kept her objections to herself until he left them, Why did you agree to him? Chuen might get jealous if she finds out, she said to Tang Ning.


    Shes not so petty, and she did tell us to get a ride from any ssmates who were driving. Her vi is so out of the way, itll be too inconvenient for the three of us to find our own way there.


    Luosang had no other excuse she coulde up with, she met up with Yan Su and the three of them got ready in their room and headed to the party with Chi Shengxu.


    The four of them arrived at the vi without any hups along the way. The vi was situated in a luxury estate newly developed two years ago. The building upied a space about 2000m2, the environment was peaceful and quiet and dotted with greenery and arge pool.


    The four of them had arrived early and the decoration in the backyard wasntpletely ready yet, staff members were still fumbling to set up a tform in the middle of the pool.


    Ye Chuen had dressed upvishly, she was wearing a regal straight neckline gown, showing off her defined corbones. A glittery Tiffany and Co. diamond ne adorned her beautiful neck, she looked like a princess.

 Chapter 217. Ask Junting if Hell Come

    Chapter 217. Ask Junting if He''ll Come


    Wow! Tang Ning screamed in praise. Chuen, you look amazing today. And your party is really luxurious!


    Ye Chuen nced at Chi Shengxu, then flipped her carefully arranged hair. She chuckled, My parents insisted. They wanted it to be different, so they built a stage by the swimming pool. I was nning to make it simpler. Shengxu, what do you think?


    Its nice. Chi Shengxu nced around ndly, then said, But you need to make sure the stage is sturdy enough. Sangsang will go up there as your emceeter.


    You dont need to worry about that. Im going upter as well. Ye Chuen grabbed Luosang and Chi Shengxus arms and said, Come on in. I want to introduce you to my parents.


    Luosang and Chi Shengxu nced at each other and frowned slightly, then followed behind Ye Chuen.


    Quite a lot of middle-aged men were sitting in the lobby. Ye Chuen guided them to a middle-aged couple who were dressed extremely luxuriously, then said, Mom, Dad, these are my roommates. This is Luo Sang; shes the emcee of the party. This is Chi Shengxu. Have you watched his movie? Hes really popr right now.


    Mrs. Ye nced at the two of them, then fixed her eyes on Chi Shengxu, smiled, and said, You look just like your mother.


    Mom, do you know Shengxus parents? Ye Chuen was surprised.


    Yeah, his mother is a friend of mine. Mrs. Ye covered her mouth and continued banteringly, Years ago his mother and I talked about letting our kids marry each other. I didnt know that you two had met each other long ago.


    Ye Chuen nced at Chi Shengxu shyly, then her face blushed.


    Chi Shengxu frowned slightly, then said, Mrs. Ye, I need to go to the bathroom.


    Go, said Mrs. Ye. After Chi Shengxu left, she looked at Luosang and said, Chuen, your friend here is very young. I dont think there will be any problems for her to be the emcee, right? After all, some seniors will attend the party tonight


    Its gonna be fine. Luo Sang is even going to host the Christmas G in our school this year. Ye Chuen was very confident about Luosang.


    Well, good. Thank you all. Mrs. Ye nodded at Luosang and the others.


    Ah, Chuen, have you called Nian Xi? When will she arrive? You should also ask her if Junting wille. It would be nice if he coulde, Ye Dongwei said abruptly.


    Ill ask. Ye Chuen stuck her tongue. While guiding her friends upstairs, she called Nian Xi.


    Luosang carefully listened behind her. Nian Junting hadnt contacted her all day, so she didnt know if he woulde or not.


    In the police station, Nian Xi got the call while dealing with a case about domestic violence.


    Party, yeah, yeah. I almost forgot about it if you didnt call. Im running round in circles. Ill go after work, Nian Xi said while typing.


    Will Junting show up? If hes not busy, can you ask him toe? We can have fun together. Many shareholders of Zhou Zhong Group have brought their daughters to the party. He might even fall in love here, Ye Chuen made a joke.


    I dont think hell be there. He hates parties. But Ill ask him, Nian Xi replied. My brother already has a girlfriend, why would he attend a party like that? Ye Chuen asked her quite graciously, so she agreed to ask Nian Junting for her, but she didnt actually make the call.


    About forty minutester, her phone rang again. She paused slightly when seeing the number, then answered the call and said, Brother, what made you call me?


    Youre going to Ye Chuens birthday party, arent you? Im going with you, said Nian Junting with a t tone.

 Chapter 218. Any later, she would surely be surrounded by pesky suitors

    Chapter 218. Anyter, she would surely be surrounded by pesky suitors


    Nian Xi thought she heard him wrong, I thought you didnt care for the Ye family? Ma is always pleading you to go to their events, whats gotten over you today?


    Yeah, I didnt want to go, but grandma nagged at me. I was thinking that I should be more filial and get to know her side of the family better since shes so old already.


    Nian Junting said nobly, Ill take over the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation when Ma retires, I should maintain an amicable rtionship with Ye Dongwei. He is, after all, a senior executive at thepany.


    Oh Nian Xi blinked her eyes, she thought her brothers excuse was kind of suspicious.


    Ill drive over to pick you up now


    Later, Im not done with work yet.


    How long more do you need?


    About forty minutes? Nian Xi looked at her watch.


    Its quite rude to arrivete at someone elses party, how about half an hour from now? Ill be at the entrance of the police post, Nian Junting scolded her.


    I have things I need to take care of, I told Chuen beforehand. If youre worried about beingte, you can go ahead first, Nian Xi said matter-of-factly, she found it strange that he was being so persistent.


    Anyway, I am the daughter of the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation CEO, I am a VIP at the party. VIPs always arriveter than the normal folks.


    See ya, Nian Xi put down her phone and started keying in information into theputer.


    She was finally done with her work after half an hour when another police officer brought a burr into the station. After taking down his statement, Nian Junting called her, Its been fifty minutes, Im here. Come down now.


    Its going to take me a while more.


    Nian Xi, its already 6.30pm, Nian Junting was gritting down on his teeth, she was testing his patience, The party is starting without us.


    Anyter, he would be missing Luosangs weing address, he hadnt managed to put Xiao Si next to her to guard her. Anyter, she would surely be surrounded by pesky suitors.


    I have to register a case over here, someone just got arrested, Nian Xi sighed, You can go ahead, you know?


    I thought about it, Im an even more important VIP than you are, I have to arrive after you to show my status.


    Ill give you ten minutes, if you dont appear by then, Ill tell your stationmander to transfer you to a clerk.


    You good on you, Nian Xi felt her reflux acting up as she tried hard to control her temper, why was her brother acting so crazy?


    At the Ye vi.


    The sound of melodious violin filled every corner of the estate, Luosang was sitting beneath a tree and having some finger food. She was rehearsing her lines forter in her head.


    The asion seemed quite casual and homely, but she knew that the attendees were all senior executives from the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation and their family members. Most of the guests were millionaires.


    Hey, did you see him, that man looked like Chen Fanxing, that famous pop singer! Yan Su pointed at a man standing in thewn, Woah, I didnt know that Chuen invited him!


    She invited many popr influencers from Weibo as well, Chi Shengxu leaned against the tree trunk, I wouldnt havee if I had known. Sansan, you didnt have agreed to host this event.


    Yeah, Yan Su looked worried as well, Itll be good if everything went smoothly, but if anything goes wrong, all these famous people


    Its ok, I have confidence in my ability, Luosang gave them a slight smile, she went to plenty of big events with her father in the past, she didnt feel any stage fright.

 Chapter 219. I Think Luo Sang is Acting A Little Strange, as if Shes Suddenly Distracted

    Chapter 219. I Think Luo Sang is Acting A Little Strange, as if She''s Suddenly Distracted


    Eh, I cant keep talking with you. More people are looking at me. I need to hide somewhere. Seeing a blushed young girl walking toward him, Chi Shengxu hurriedly turned and left.


    He has fans everywhere. All young girls like him. Yan Su smiled, looking around. So, wheres Mr. Nian? Is he still angry? Hes stilling, isnt he? Why dont you call him and ask?


    Im not calling him, said Luosang. If she called the narcissistic Nian Junting, he might think that she missed him and wanted to apologize to him.


    Look! Whos that? The surrounding guests suddenly pointed at the pebbled trail near the entrance and excitedly whispered to each other, Zhong Yi, my God, Zhong Yi is here.


    Ahhh Im so excited! What should I do? Zhong Yi is my idol!


    Shes so pretty. Whos the man next to her? Hes so handsome.


    I think thats her boyfriend. Ive seen his photos online.


    Thats the president of Xu Group.


    What Xu Group? Earlier this year thepany changed its name to Yi Group.


    Luosang turned to that direction and saw Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi walking over. He was wearing a ck suit while she was in a blue dress; their hands were intertwined together, and both of them were wearing sweet smiles.


    They were like two glowing pearls in the darkness of night, catching everyones eyes immediately.


    Luosang trembled slightly. The te in her hands dropped into the grass.


    Chuen invited Zhong Yi. She never mentioned that before. Hearing the noise, Yan Su turned back and found that Luosangs face had be a ghastly pale color. She even looked a little panicked. Yan Su had never seen her like that.


    Whats wrong? Are you okay? asked Yan Su.


    I-Im fine. Luosang bent over the pick up the te. Her mind was a little unclear at the moment. She shouldntvee, and she shouldntve agree to be the emcee of the party.


    Ye Chuen never mentioned she and Zhong Yi were friends. If those two see me, they wont just tell everyone that Im Xu Luosang, will they? So many of her schoolmates would be here tonight. If people found out who she really was, even her rich boyfriend might not be able to fix her problem.


    However, the party was about to begin, and it was toote for her to leave.


    Luo Sang, youre here! Ive been looking for you. Tang Ning ran over with her dress lifted. She grabbed Luosangs hand and said, Chuen wants you to get ready. Youll be on the stage in ten minutes.


    Wait Before she could talk, Tang Ning dragged her away.


    Yan Su gazed at Luosangs back for a while, feeling a little strange. So she turned around and called Nian Junting.


    She didnt tell Luosang that yesterday, when she met Nian Junting, thetter didnt only ask for her number, but made her save his number in her phone. He told Yan Su that if anything happened to Luosang, she should call him. Back at that time, Yan Su didnt think that she would be calling him so soon.


    Yan Su, whats wrong? Nian Junting answered the call in a cold voice.


    Nothing. I just want to know when you will arrive, Mr. Nian, Yan Su said with hesitation. I feel like Luo Sang is acting a little strange. Its like shes suddenly distracted.


    Is it because Im not there?


    Nian Junting snorted proudly and said, I knew it. She never says what she means. You tell her that Ill be right there, and not to miss me too much. Also let her know that Im still angry about what happenedst night. She should reconsider my words. I meant what I said, no joke.

 Chapter 221. Ive Luckily Met Mr. Nian Last Year

    Chapter 221. I''ve Luckily Met Mr. Nian Last Year


    Luosang was in a daze for a second and didnt manage to respond quickly. However, Mrs. Ye quickly answered the question for her. I heard from Chuen that shes from An City, and her parents have passed away.


    Hearing that, Yu Wen showed a regretful look and said, I rarely see a girl who is that pretty. I was going to introduce her to Junting, but sadly, her family ground is unideal.


    Aunty, Mrs. Ye hurriedly said, I know a few other pretty girls at the party. One of them is the daughter of our CTO, and the other two are the daughters of our important partners; they have all graduated from prestigious overseas universities. I think Junting will like them. Later Ill introduce them to you.


    Mrs. Ye paused briefly, then sighed and continued, If only Junting was here.


    Ill meet the girls for him if he dont show up. Yu Wen smiled and said, Hes nearly thirty years old, yet he has never had a girlfriend. Both his grandpa and I are anxious for him.


    Hearing their conversation, Luosang thought that they might not know that Nian Juntings girlfriend was standing right in front of them. Nian Juntings grandma seemed to want to introduce her to Nian Junting earlier, but then she gave up because of her family background. It seemed that wealthy families did regard family backgrounds as important.


    Luosang wondered if Nian Juntings family would say no when they found out about their current rtionship.


    At that moment, Ye Chuens sweet voice was heard from behind.


    Ms. Zhong, Mr. Yi, let me introduce my family to you. This is my grandmother, this is my grandaunt, and this is my mother.


    Luosang froze, and her face paled.


    After what had happened at the mahjong party, Luosang didnt expect Yi Jingxi to leave her any dignity in public. Now she met him again, and he might try humiliating her again as much as possible.


    The situation would be slightly better if Nian Juntings grandmother werent sitting right in front of Luosang.


    Chuen, your great-aunt is the Madam President of Zhong Zhou Group, right? Zhong Yi smiled, then greeted Yu Wen. Dear Madam, Ive heard so much about you. This is my boyfriend, Yi Jingxi from Yi Pictures.


    Madam. Yi Jingxi shook hands with Yu Wen and the others, then said, You remind me of Mr. Nian. I luckily met him at the end ofst year.


    You have? I wonder what hes been up to recently. I havent seen him for quite a while. Yu Wen was amiable when talking of her grandson. Mr. Yi, you look about the same age as Junting. Youre young and promising, indeed.


    Ye Chuen took the opportunity to make a more detailed introduction of Yi Jingxi.


    Great-aunt, Mr. Yi has developed a film and television base this year. In the future, seventy percent of all movies and TV series are going to be filmed there, he said.


    So if our Chuen wants to shoot a movie, she can simply talk to you, right Mr. Yi? Yu Wen asked, smiling.


    Thatll be my pleasure. Yi Jingxi gave a mild smile. Meanwhile, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a slim and pretty girl prepare to leave. Smilingly, he said, Thatdy looks familiar from behind.


    Luosang closed her eyes. It finally happened. She knew that Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi wouldnt miss a chance to humiliate her in public.


    Its okay. Ive been through worse. Theres nothing to be afraid of.


    She forced a smile, then turned around.


    Yi Jingxi narrowed his eyes slightly. She was always so pretty. Even now, she was in a simple white dress, yet she still looked so wlessly beautiful.


    Sangsang, its you. No wonder, I thought I knew her. Zhong Yi stepped forward and held her hands.


    You know each other? Ye Chuen asked with surprise.


    Luosang knew what Zhong Yi intended to say, so before that happened, she said, Ms. Zhong, such a surprise to see you and Mr. Yi here. Chuen, I havent told you that I worked for Ms. Zhong as her assistant before. But I made a mistake which made Mr. Yi quite unhappy, so I quitted the job.

 Chapter 222. Junting is here! Along with Nian Xi

    Chapter 222. Junting is here! Along with Nian Xi


    Ye Chuen got the idea, Oh I see, you didnt want to tell me where you were working at. Mr. Yi is a nice person, if you offended him, just apologize to him and


    Im not going to apologize, Luo Sang interrupted her, I have my limits and principles, I am just an assistant and I always do good honest work but Mr. Yi tried to gift me as a present to one of his friends. I thought it was inappropriate and I excused myself early, I didnt dare to go back to work after that anymore. Pardon me, Mr. Yi, how could you abuse your authority as the boss of a big film productionpany and exchange your own staff members for advantages?


    Her justified speech left everyone shocked, Yu Wen looked stricken with horror, she hated the dirty exchanges behind the fame and glory of the entertainment industry.


    Yi Jingxi frowned deeply, Zhong Yi also didnt expect Luo Sang to strike back against them so quickly, What nonsense are you saying, you


    Im not spouting nonsense, I was there with you, Miss Zhong when you went to the Gu Feng club to meet Mr. Lin. It was the same night that the police officers carried out a raid that and arrested him on the spot. Gu Feng club has since been shut down as well. Lucky you, the media didnt get hold of any evidence that you were there that night, Luo Sangughed coldly.


    Zhong Yis face froze at the mention of Gu Feng club.


    Yu Wen watched the entire conversation before she shot an unpleasant nce at Ye Chuen, she grabbed Madam Kang and said, Lets go, weve been standing here for a while now, the air has turned sour. Kang Ying, teach your Chuen properly, dont let her invite all sorts of bad people to the house.


    Zhong Yi was furious, she hadnt been humiliated like this for a while now, Madam, she is making bogus usations


    I am making baseless assumptions? Luo Sangughed, I have a photo of you and Mr. Lin from that night, I snapped it identally at dinner, I remember how well you two got along. Mr. Lin is a lewd man, he forces all the actresses in the films that he invests into sleeping with him, even his club is filled with under-aged girls


    Luo Sang Ye Chuen tried to interrupt her, her tone was cautioning her not to speak a word further. Zhong Yi was her guest at the party, after all, Luo Sangs usations reflected badly on her, in front of her grandma.


    Luo Sang wasnt surprised that Chuen wasnt on her side, she knew that it was a cruel world out there. It was natural that Chuen wanted to protect her own interests and side with the equally powerful and rich.


    She was merely a roommate, a university ssmate, an acquaintance in Chuens eyes.


    Its ok, Chuen, let her continue, Zhong Yi grabbed Chuens arms and smiled, Ive done nothing wrong, your friend on the other hand


    Look, auntie, Junting is here! Along with Nian Xi! Kang Ying pointed towards the narrow path with delight.


    All eyes watching Nian Junting enter the estate beneath the dim glimmer of the streemps. Nian Xi walked in front of him wearing a long ck trench coat, her hair let down, she looked handsome like how you would imagine a female police officer to look like.


    Nian Junting towered behind her in a moss green suit and a ck undershirt, he was wearing brown loafers and he looked regal and dashing. His tall figure was apanied by a handsome skan husky.


    The siblings captured the attention of all the guests at the party instantly.

    Chapter 223. Within This Short While, Zhong Yi Fell into the Water


    Except for Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi, everyone around Luosang walked toward Nian Junting and Nian Xi.


    Ms. Zhong, Mr. Yi, please excuse me for a second. I need to go say hi to my cousins, Ye Chuen apologized, then quickly followed behind Yu Wen and the others.


    Junting, your grandma and I were just talking about how if only you were here. And now you are here, what a surprise. I havent seen you in a while. Youre even more handsome than before. Mrs. Ye just couldnt stop grinning. Nian Junting was the future sessor of Zhong Zhou Group, and his showing up could mean that he admitted the Ye Family as an important part of Zhong Zhou.


    After all, a new chief brings new aids. The Murong Cheng was looking after the Ye Family for now, but who knew what would happen after Nian Junting took over thepany?


    While responding carelessly, Nian Junting looked around and soon found Luo Sang, who was standing by the swimming pool.


    She was wearing a pure white dress today; her body was slim, and her eyes were shining, looking stunningly beautiful.


    She is so the woman I like. She looks stunning even in such a simple dress, unlike Ye Chuen here. My eyes are dazzled by her dress, yet shes not even half as pretty as Luosang.


    He wondered why Luosang wasnt looking at him, and who the man standing by her side was. As for thedy beside the man, he ignored her.


    Junting, where are you looking? Your aunt is talking to you. Yu Wen gave Nian Junting a softly threatening nce and said, Do you have your eyes on some girl?


    We have so many beautiful girls at the party tonight. But the one I like the most is Director Shens daughter. Look, that girl in the pink dress, Mrs. Ye said and hurriedly pointed at a girl.


    Nian Junting nced at the girl, then turned back and said, Average.


    You call that average


    Aunty, you need to improve your taste. And Im not here for a blind date. I dont need anyone to introduce me to any girls.


    Nian Junting nced at Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye was forbade to say another word by the impatience in his eyes, but only sneakily pulled Yu Wens arm. If Nian Junting married Director Shens daughter, the Ye Family would have a stronger footing in thepany.


    Nian Xi sensed the strange atmosphere, so she hurriedly held Yu Wens hands and said, Granny, Im also here. Please dont always talk about my brotheryoure making me jealous. He doesnt like these kinds of parties because you always try to introduce him to girls.


    Alright, alright, Ill stop. But I think you need to talk to your brother. Why did he bring a dog to this asion? What if the dog bit someone


    Hearing their conversation, Nian Junting became extremely impatient.


    He grasped the chance to gave Xiaosi a light kick. The huge Xiaosi instantly began twisting his body. As Nian Junting dropped the leash, Xiaosi immediately broke out of the crowd and rushed toward the swimming pool.


    Many guests were startled by this giant dog. Xiao Si darted directly to Luosang.


    Seeing the scary-looking dog rushing over, Zhong Yi panicked, automatically taking two steps backward. However, she didnt notice that she was already at the edge of the swimming pool. Before she knew it, she tripped on her heels and fell backward.


    Yi Jingxi was going to pull her, but instead of that he found that Xiaosi was pouncing on Luosang, so he reached out an arm to protect thetter without thinking.

 Chapter 224. My dog seems to like this lady

    Chapter 224. My dog seems to like thisdy


    As the party turned chaotic, guests were crowding around the pool watching Zhong Yi il about helplessly.


    Help! I cant swim.


    The attention was turned to Zhong Yis date, Yi Jingxi. He was currently entangled in a mess with Xiaosi, in fear that Xiaosi would hurt Luo Sang if he walked away.


    Finally, one of the guests jumped into the pool and carried Zhong Yi out of the water as the other guests scrambled to give him a hand.


    Zhong Yi was in a sorry state, her high heel pumps had fallen off and she was gurgling water. Her skin had gone pale and she sat slumped, dripping wet. To the delight to some of her nemeses, her blue gown was now lucent and stered to her body, her breasts spilling from the corset and her nipple pasties had fallen too, every humiliating detail revealed to all the guests. Men were looking at her bosom and behind with lust.


    Luo Sang was astonished. She knew that Zhong Yi was afraid of dogs, but she had underestimated the amount of terror that Xiaosi could elicit.


    As she looked at Zhong Yi, she couldnt help but feel gleeful about the turn of events. Justice is best served hot! she thought.


    She looked at Yi Jingxi who was still wrestling with Xiao Si on the ground, What on earth is he doing? Hisdy fell into the pool!


    Come here, Xiaosi, Nian Junting walked over and called out.


    Xiaosi detached himself from Yi Jingxi and ran to Nian Junting obediently.


    Yi Jingxi was annoyed, but he had to contain his anger when he saw that Nian Junting was the owner of the dog. He quietly removed his jacket and wrapped it around Zhong Yi.


    Jingxi Zhong Yi buried her face into his chest and sobbed pitifully.


    Mr. Yi, carry Zhong Yi upstairs to get a change of clothes, Ye Chuen said, Butler, bring my new evening gown upstairs for Miss Zhong Yi.


    Yi Jingxi carried her silently towards the vi with Ye Chuen following behind them.


    The Ye family looked awkward and embarrassed, Yu Wen red at Nian Junting and said, I told you just now, dont bring the dog if you have toe. Why didnt you hold onto his leash properly, look at what youve done.


    How is this my fault, Xiaosi didnt touch her at all. She was scared witless when she saw him and fell into the water herself. I dont understand why anyone would fear Xiaosi, theres nothing to be scared about, he looks like such a friendly dog and he never ever bites, Nian Junting bent over and patted the dog.


    Friendly


    Was he describing a Samoyed dog?


    The guests were almost grinning, Luo Sang was speechless. Xiaosi resembled a wolf, Nian Junting was a tad shameless to describe him as a friendly dog.


    How does he look friendly at all? Yu Wen announced aloud what everyone else was thinking, Naturally, people will be scared of such a big dog.


    Ill leave then since Xiaosi is so unweed here, Nian Junting said apologetically and turned to leave.


    Its ok, its just an unfortunate ident, Ye Dongwei stopped him, Xiaosi is adorable and I quite like him!


    Yeah, Kang Ying added, Ill get him some bones to chew onter.


    Thanks, Auntie. Im sorry for the trouble, Nian Junting halted and smiled.


    Xiaosi wagged his tail and barked Ow, ow ow! at Luo Sang.


    My dog seems to like thisdy, Nian Junting raised his brows at her and smiled, Pft, what mediocre taste.


    She wanted to punch him.


    Nian Junting stroked Xiaosi quietly. What an act, she knew that he was there for her but here he was acting so aloof and nonchnt, was he asking for a

 Chapter 225. Jingxi, Look…

    Chapter 225. Jingxi, Look��


    Yu Wen nced at her grandson helplessly. She was used to her grandsons strange tastes. However, as Luosangs family background was too unideal, she thought for a moment, then stayed silent.


    As no one responded to Nian Junting, Nian Xi had no other choice but to y a part in his show. Brother, enough. I think shes pretty.


    Yeah? Nian Junting patted Xiaosi on the butt, then Xiao Si wiggled to Luosang, put his forepaws on her shoulders, and raised his head to lick her face.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. Yu Wen couldnt bear watching this. Tell Xiaosi to stop doing that, she said. That girl is the emcee. Dont break her dress.


    Nian Justing walked over and pped on Xiaosis back. Xiaosi howled and put down his forepaws. But still, he wouldnt leave Luosang.


    Luosang found this both funny and annoying. Nian Junting was so angry yesterday, but today, he came here and ordered Xiaosi to keep an eye on her.


    Xiaosi rarely likes someone so much. Just y with him for a while. Nian Junting eyed Luosang in a nd way, saying, Can you please feed himter?


    Junting, this youngdy is our emcee. Shell be on stageter, Mrs. Ye reminded him.


    Then she can feed Xiaosi afterward, Nian Junting nodded.


    Mrs. Ye didnt know how to continue.


    Uncle Xiao, I havent seen you in a while. Nian Junting turned and walked to a man who was greeting him. They shook hands, then started chatting.


    Seeing that, Yu Wen just didnt know what to say.


    Nian Xi, you should look after Xiao Siter when Ms. Luo goes on stage. What happened just now cant happen again, she said to Nian Xi.


    Granny, dont worry, Nian Xi nodded while winking at Luosang.


    Luosang couldnt help but admire Nian Xi and her brother for their acting skills.


    Later, when Ms. Zhong finishes changing, the party will begin, Mrs. Ye said to Luosang, then guided Yu Wen and Nian Xi to their seats.


    Sangsang, isnt that Chi Shengxu walked over confusedly. However, before he approached, Xiaosi bared his teeth and threatened him, looking seriously scary.


    Chi Shengxu raised both hands, not daring toe any closer.


    Luosang wanted tough. She guessed that Nian Junting had Xiaosi trained at home.


    Dont worry, this dog knows me, she said.


    Chi Shengxu was a little speechless, feeling that the dog threatened him on purpose. He was surprised to find that Luosangs boyfriend was actually the future sessor of Zhong Zhou group. No wonder he was so rich and proud.


    Fifteen minutester, Ye Chuen escorted Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi out of the vi. Zhong Yi had changed into a ck dress and put on a new face of delicate makeup. However, all of the guests clearly remembered how she fell into the water just now. Now, they just wanted tough more at her.


    Jingxi, look Zhong Yi spotted the dog beside Luosang, so she angrily tugged on Yi Jingxis clothes.


    She was so pissed off. She would never forget that earlier, when she fell into the pool, Yi Jingxi could have saved her, but chose to protect Xu Luosang instead. What made her even angrier was that the dog now seemed to be happy around Luosang.


    Stop Yi Jingxi warned Zhong Yi with a low voice.


    The dog was an ordinary dog, yet his owner wasnt an ordinary man.

 Chapter 226. Luo Sang, go apologise to sister Zhong Yi later?

    Chapter 226. Luo Sang, go apologise to sister Zhong Yiter?


    Dont be angry anymore, sister Zhong Yi, Junting brother treasures that dog a lot, Ye Chuen was frustrated at how the party was turning out. She never managed to win Xiaosis affection no matter how hard she tried to befriend the dog in the past, she wondered what had gotten over Xiaosi today.


    I know, I wont hold it against the dog, Zhong Yi forced a smile.


    You can sit over there, Ill go talk to Luo Sang, Ye Chuen walked towards her friend.


    Can we begin? Luo Sang asked as she approached her, she wanted to get this over and done with as soon as possible.


    Luo Sang, go apologize to sister Zhong Yiter? Zhong Yi said, Its for your own good, Mr. Yi is an important person in the entertainment industry


    I didnt push her into the pool, did I? Luo Sangs face looked ghastly, If you think I should apologize for what I said earlier, I dont think its necessary. I wasnt lying, Chuen, shouldnt you try to consider my stand? I am your guest tonight as well, Im helping you emcee, if you dont want me to, I can leave now


    Ye Chuens facial expression looked a little stiff, but she broke into a smile quickly, Alright, its my fault, you are right. Dont leave alright, I wont have an emcee without you. Were already runningte by ten minutes, do help me rifyter when youre on stage.


    Thats no problem, Luo Sang took the opportunity to go along with her.


    Ye Chuen spoke to the DJ quickly and the music quietened, Luo Sang climbed onto the wooden stairs in the middle of the pool with the microphone in her hand.


    Dear esteemed guests, good evening! Wee to Chuens birthday party, we are runningte due to some technical difficulties and were sorry for the dy and inconveniences caused


    Nian Junting was looking at the slim figure in the middle of the pool while sitting on the rattan chair beneath the tree. Luo Sang looked like a fairy that had descended to earth.


    Yu Wenughed, The emcee is good, shes very eloquent and theres a soothing quality to her voice.


    Yeah, Nian Junting said distractedly.


    His woman was naturally outstanding in every aspect.


    Nian Xi teased, Grandma, its so rare for you to praise someone, why dont you introduce her to my brother?


    I did intend to do so, but I heard that shes from An City and her parents are no longer, Yu Wen shook her head, Your brother is the future sessor of thepany, his wife has to be of equal standing. Ive seen it all, having apatible family background is extremely important for a sessful marriage.


    Nian Junting frowned, If I fancy someone, I dont care about her family background at all. I wont even care if shes penny broke.


    When two persons of different upbringing get together, you will find that your values and viewpoints of the world will be different after a while, Yu Wen waved her hands dismissively, Forget it, you wont understand, Im telling you now that I wont be supportive of the rtionship.


    Im the one whos finding a wife, I dont need your support.


    You


    Before Yu Wen could continue, an ear-screeching static interference could be heard from the stage, the tform looked like it was on the verge of copse and Luo Sang was wobbling precariously trying to catch her bnce.


    Nian Junting looked stricken with panic and stood up abruptly.

 Chapter 227. Nian Junting Bent over to Give Luosang Artificial Respiration

    Chapter 227. Nian Junting Bent over to Give Luosang Artificial Respiration


    Standing on the stage, Luosang felt something was not right. So she held the handrail and shambled toward the ground. However, she only managed to make two steps before the stage suddenly fell apart, and she fell into the water along with it.


    December in Xia City wasnt cold, but the water was.


    Luosang didnt realize that the water was deeper than it looked until she fell to the bottom of the pool. The middle area was the deepest area of the pool; the water there was at least six feet deep. Thankfully, she knew how to swim.


    When she tried pretty hard to bring herself up, the nks of the stage fell on her shoulders and head. She heard a buzzing noise at the back of her head, then felt dizziness. After that, she sank back to the bottom, along with the nks.


    Right at that point, she inhaled quite some water and started falling unconscious. Through the water, she saw someone jump into the pool, quickly swimming towards her.


    She thought it was Nian Junting, but as the man got closer, she realized that it was Yi Jingxi.


    She didnt understand why he looked so anxious.


    She guessed that it was because her vision was blurred and she couldnt see clearly.


    When Yi Jingxi swam up to her, she lost her eyesight temporarily.


    Yi Jingxi lifted the nks, held Luosang, and swam back as quickly as possible.


    Two people had fallen into the water, so the guests had all gathered around the pool, and started whispering to each other.


    At the shoreside, Yi Jingxi shook Luosang. She didnt wake up, so he hurriedly took off his coat, wrapped her up, then carried her up.


    Her wet hair rested on her scalp, and her forehead was bleeding. Soon, the blood covered half of her face. Seeing the blood, Yi Jingxi was shocked. He had been torturing her, giving her pain, yet he never wanted her to suffer any physical harm.


    He wanted her to live safely and healthily.


    Luosang, wake up. Yi Jingxis breath was shallow and uneven. He patted her face, then pressed her chest. She let out a few mouthfuls of water, but still didnt wake up.


    Under desperation, he prepared to give her artificial respiration. When he forced her mouth open, he was violently dragged away, and a man in dark-green suit took his ce.


    What are you doing! The raging Yi Jingxi rushed up andunched a punch. He didnt even care who that man was. Piss off! he roared.


    Nian Junting clenched his fists and turned to look at him. His face was perfectly handsome, and his eyes were dark and cold. Im gonna save her, he said, Dont touch me again.


    If Yi Jingxi didnt save Luosang, he would want to beat him to death because Yi Jingxi touched the chest of his woman. He was so angry about it, even if Yi Jingxi did it to save her. And just now, Yi Jingxi even tried to give her artificial respiration.


    Am I dead? Im here, so shell never need a strange mans help.


    Yi Jingxi paused slightly when he saw Nian Juntings face clearly. A strange thought emerged in his head, yet he didnt have the time to calm himself down and think.


    Mr. Nian, I dont care


    Before he finished, he saw Nian Junting bent over to give Luosang the artificial respiration.


    At that moment, he suddenly figured something out. If a man wouldnt allow another man to touch a woman, then he must have his eyes on that woman.


    But, wasnt Luosang in a rtionship with Xiao Si? Almost everyone in Xia City knew that Nian Junting and Xiao Si were best friends. Did they even share women?


    Yi Jingxi clenched his fists. He knew that Nian Junting was just giving Luosang artificial respiration, but when their lips touched, he became so angry that his own lips turned purple.

 Chapter 228. Luo Sang is my fiancée

    Chapter 228. Luo Sang is my fianc��e


    The guests found the scene peculiar as well.


    The Ye family looked surprised and Ye Chuen looked grim, everyone heard about how much of a cleanliness freak Nian Junting was. He had a reputation of humiliating all the girls he dated with his vile mouth, but here he was, fighting to do mouth-to-mouth rescue for Luo Sang, it was unbelievable.


    Yu Wen looked on meaningfully as well, her grandson had rushed forward when the tform gave way, Yi Jingxi only managed to jump in first as he was right by the poolside.


    She knew her grandson well, he was highly possessive. She figured that he had something going on with this girl for him to act this way.


    Ack, ack


    Luo Sang coughed out some water after a couple of rescue attempts, she opened her eyes feebly but her body was weak.


    Blood was still dripping down the side of her face and she couldnt make out the person in front of her, she remembered that Yi Jingxi was thest person she saw and she mouthed, Yi Jingxi


    Nian Juntings joyous expression was reced by a look of coldness.


    He turned around and red at Yi Jingxi viciously. With a swoop, he lifted Luo Sang and walked out, halfway, he paused and looked at the rest of the guests before settling his gaze on Nian Xi, You are a police officer, protect the scene of the crime and find out why this happened in the first ce.


    Yes, Nian Xi nearly gave him a salute, her brothers aura was far more intimidating than her own superiors, Dont worry, I wont let anyone near the scene.


    Nian Junting marched on with Luo Sang in his arms.


    Yi Jingxi belted behind him.


    Jingxi Zhong Yi grabbed his wrist and pleaded, No matter what, youre attending this birthday party as my boyfriend, how do you expect me to face the rest of the guests if you walked out on me? Please, you can go overter, Nian Junting will bring her to the hospital.


    Im afraid youve got it wrong, I was never your boyfriend, were just putting an act together, Yi Jingxi pried her hands away from his wrist and ran after Nian Junting.


    At 8.20pm, Nian Junting barged through the ident and emergency doors.


    Medical personnel hurried Luo Sang into the resuscitation room.


    As he looked at the shut doors in front of him, he unbuttoned his shirt anxiously. He turned to see Yi Jingxi run into the building hurriedly.


    The two of them locked eyes about ten meters apart and Yi Jingxi continued to walk towards him, Nian Junting could see the worry in his eyes, Mr. Yi, thank you for saving Luo Sang today, you can go home now.


    Yi Jingxis handsome face looked serious, on his drive here, he thought about a lot of things and he reminded himself to stay calm, but it was hard to control his emotions now, Mr. Nian, you dont have to thank me, its my duty to save Luo Sang.


    Nian Junting could sense it, he wasnt stupid, he didnt understand why Yi Jingxi jumped in even before Chi Shengxu, he wondered how many more suitors Luo Sang had.


    You know Luo Sang?


    Luo Sang is my fiance.


    They looked at each other and the atmosphere was tense.

 Chapter 229. Yi Jingxi, right? Wake up!

    Chapter 229. Yi Jingxi, right? Wake up!


    Nian Junting spent about ten seconds staring at him, then he suddenly smiled and said, I remember seeing youst year. Your name is Yi Jingxi, right? I think your girlfriend is the one who fell into the water earlier.


    Mr. Nian, I didnt know about your rtionship with Luosang, but shes really my fiance. We got engaged under the witness of our parents. Yi Jingxi calmly looked at Nian Junting in the eyes. His tone revealed how much he cherished that part of his memory.


    The pale light poured down. Nian Juntings eyes were as dark as the night sky.


    He wanted to punch someone so badly that his muscles twitched.


    However, his education and military experience told him to calm down and to restrain himself.


    How could he believe Yi Jingxi? Maybe this man was a lunatic.


    Mr. Nian, hows Luosang? Is she okay? Yan Su ran over and asked. Seeing the two men on the verge of breaking out into a fight, her heart missed a beat.


    Whatwhat happened?


    Nian Junting held his breath, grabbed Yi Jingxis cor, and said, Try to say another word.


    How could Luosang have a fiance? That was ridiculous. How could she ever get engaged to Yi Jingxi?


    At that very moment, he was trying very hard to stop himself from disabling this man.


    Why would I lie to you? Im telling the truth. If she wasnt my fiance, why would I jump into the water to save her? Mr. Nian, I wont forget how youve saved my fiance. Please leave now, Yi Jingxi said ndly.


    Once again, Nian Juntings body froze.


    He felt that nothing was more ridiculous than what he had heard. He was Luosangs boyfriend, yet this man just told him to leave. How could he?


    Youre lying!


    Yan Su red at Yi Jingxi and spoke out loud, Mr. Yi, arent you ashamed to say that? Just now, you had your arm around Zhong Yis waist. You were hugging and kissing, and you carried her into the vi to change. Everyone at the party saw that. Besides, everyone knows that Zhong Yi has a boyfriend whose name is Yi Jingxi, who owns a filmpany and who has been helping her. You two hold hands in public, and youve admitted to the public that Zhong Yi is your girlfriend. And now youre iming that you have a fiance? How can you even say that? Dont you have any sense of shame?


    Who are you? You know nothing about Luosang. Yi Jingxis face darkened immediately.


    Yan Su didnt look at him, but turned to Nian Junting and continued, Ive been sharing a room with Luosang for nearly a year. I have never seen this man. And except you, Mr. Nian, I never saw her with another man. If she had a fiance, shed at least contact him in some way.


    Hearing that, Yi Jingxi felt a tsunami in his heart.


    He thought that Luosang was dating Xiao Si, but now, he found out that he was wrong. Kashiwa said that Xiao Si often drives Nian Juntings sports car, so he thought it was Xiao Si in the car. But now, he figured out that it was Nian Junting himself.


    He had the same guess on his way here, but he didnt want to think about it.


    He couldnt understand how on earth Luosang could hook up with someone like Nian Junting. He was clearly aware of the fact that Luosang was pretty and capable, yet he never thought that Nian Junting would fall for her.


    As all sorts of thoughts overwhelmed Yi Jingxi, Nian Junting calmed down quickly.

 Chapter 230. You dont even qualify to be my love rival

    Chapter 230. You don''t even qualify to be my love rival


    He didnt know that Zhongyi was a celebrity, neither did he know about her rtionship with Yi Jingxi. Hearing what Yan Su had said, he gained some insight into their rtionships, If I were you, Yi Jingxi, I would walk away now.


    I know your family has great influence in Xia City, Mr. Nian, but you shouldnt abuse your power like this, Yi Jingxi smiled slyly.


    Im not abusing my power, Luo Sang will clear things up once she wakes up, Nian Junting looked at him with despise.


    You are the director of a bigpany, after all, Yi Jingxi. You shouldntpromise on your values after gaining fame and fortune. I heard that you owe all you have now to a woman, yourpany used to belong to the Xu family, am I right?


    His temples throbbed at the mention of the Xus, all his acquaintances knew that it was taboo to bring it up in front of him.


    I dont have an impressive background as you do, Mr. Nian, I worked hard for everything I have today.


    Nian Junting was quiet, he had managed to cool down and gave some thought about what Yi Jingxi had just said, Go away, I cant be bothered to talk to someone like you. You dont even qualify to be my love rival.


    He thought even less of Yi Jingxi than that childish celebrity, Chi Shengxu.


    At least Chi Shengxu had a decent character.


    He reflected about his raging anger at the beginning of their conversation and chastised himself for losing his cool like that.


    Nian Junting quietly turned his back against him and focused on the red light above the resuscitation room.


    Yi Jingxi could sense the contempt in Nian Juntings words and he clenched his fists as he stared at the mans back, Mr. Nian, you should be humbler. You might be thinking that Im just pulling your leg about the fact that I am her fianc, but the truth is the truth. Do you really think you know Luo Sang? I bet you dont even know her real name, you might not even know her as well as your own brother, Xiao Si.


    Nian Junting turned to look at him again, never had he met anyone as loathsome as Yi Jingxi, What does Xiao Si know?


    She really hasnt told you anything, has she? Are you sure shes dating you and not Xiao Si?


    Yi Jingxiughed sarcastically and backed up to lean against a wall. He remained silent after that.


    Nian Junting put up an aloof expression as he clenched his fists, he was full of questions and doubts but he refused to seek answers from Yi Jingxi.


    Firstly, he didnt wish to hear things about Luo Sang from this man, he would ask her himselfter.


    Secondly, he found Yi Jingxis eerie vibes repulsive.


    Thirdly, he could tell that Yi Jingxi was truly concerned about Luo Sang, man-to-man he could sense his worry.


    What was Luo Sangs rtionship to Yi Jingxi? What had Xiao Si got to do with them, what were they all hiding from him?


    The more he thought about these, the angrier he got. It was the first time he felt like an outsider of Luo Sangs life.


    Yi Jingxi wasnt budging. Nian Junting walked to the side and made a call to Lu Kang to arrange for Luo Sang to be admitted into a VIP ward.


    One of the nurses brought over a fresh set of hospital gowns for Luo Sang.


    Nian Junting handed the set of clothes to Yan Su, Put them on for her.


    He proceeded towards the door and then he noticed the Yi Jingxi was still standing in the same spot.


    A surge of anger washed over Nian Junting and he said angrily, Didnt you hear what I just said, shes going to be changing Luo Sangs clothes, get out now.

 Chapter 231. Were A Couple. She Pursued Me

    Chapter 231. We''re A Couple. She Pursued Me


    Yi Jingxi fixed his eyes on Luosang, and said, Mr. Nian, Im not like you. Ive seen every part of her body.


    He spoke in a careless tone, yet his words pierced into Nian Juntings heart like a needle.


    Nian Junting tightened his body, and his face turned darker and darker.


    He couldnt even stand letting another man touch Luosangs hand. Meanwhile, Yi Jingxi imed that he had seen all of Luosangs body. He knew that Yi Jingxi was just trying to piss him off, yet he couldnt help that it had worked.


    How could any other man see his womans body?


    Mr. Nian, why are looking at me like this? Isnt it normal for a man to do something with his fiancee? Yi Jingxi lowered his eyes and said, We were a couple. She pursued me.


    You think thats something to show off? Nian Juntingughed with anger and responded in a cold voice.


    I dont know which part of your words is true and which is not. Neither do I know what exactly had happened between you two. But I do know that you were two-timing her, and you trampled on a womans shoulder to climbed up to a higher ce. However, youre not ashamed at all. On the contrary, you imed that Luosang pursued you. Have you ever thought about giving her some respect? I hesitated a little earlier, but now, I am sure that she definitely hates you. I let you stand here, not because I respect you, but because youre not qualified to be my rival. Yi Jingxi, I know youve started some kind of movie and television base and made yourself famous in the film industry, but dont think I will be afraid of you for that. Youre nothing.


    Yi Jingxi looked at Nian Juntings sudden face and said, I surely know that I am nothing in your eyes, Mr. Nian. But I guess your family wont ept the fact that Luosang has been engaged with someone else. He understood that if he stayed here, things might be get ugly. He knew that he shouldnt offend Nian Junting, but he still wanted to say something to disgust him.


    He believed that it would certainly bother NIan Junting if he told him that his womans body had been seen by some other man.


    Nian Junting was like a prince, and he was also a clean freak, so how could he possibly pretend to hear nothing about it?


    I stayed because Im worried about Luosang. Since shes fine, Ill be leaving. After saying that, Yi Jingxi gave a meaningful nce at Luosang who was still in a deep sleep, then turned and left. He knew that if he stayed longer, he might really get in a fight with Nian Junting.


    Yan Su hesitated shortly, then said, Mr. Nian, I think you better calm down right now. Yi Jingxi said that on purpose. He was trying to sow discord among you and Luosang.


    I know that. I didnt take his words seriously, Nian Junting responded with a cold voice, then closed the door heavily.


    Yan Su was a little speechless. If you didnt take his words seriously, why did you m the door?


    He walked a few feet away from the ward, then took out his phone and called Xiao Si.


    As soon as the call was answered, he asked a question. Where are you?


    Ium, Im in An City, Xiao Si stuttered.


    What are you doing in An City? Nian Junting remembered that An City was Luosangs hometown. Was this a coincidence?


    I have something to said Xiao Si.


    About Luosang? He asked.


    Xiao Si stayed silent.


    Have you two been hiding something from me? Is she cheating on me with you? Nian Junting asked angrily, then denied himself right afterward. No, thats not possible. After all, Im so much better than you, even in bed. Theres no reason for anything to happen between you and her. Now tell me, what have you been hiding from me?


    Xiao Si was a little nervous and guilty at first, but after hearing what Nian Junting said, he startedughing. Well, thats mean. Dont forget that that part of your body was handicapped for six to seven years. How could you say youre even better than me in bed? You cant evenst a second in bed.

 Chapter 232. Yeah… shes the daughter of Xu Zhengxuan of the Xu Group

    Chapter 232. Yeah�� she''s the daughter of Xu Zhengxuan of the Xu Group


    Luo Sang affirmed my endurance in bed, you wont understand, Nian Junting rebutted nonchntly.


    Whwhat? Youve already hit a home run? I thought youve only just started dating her, Xiao Si stuttered in surprise.


    Nian Junting chuckled, You dont need to hit a home run to know some things.


    Xiao Si was baffled, Did Luo Sang use her hands to help you or her mouth? My god, I couldnt tell that she was so wild in bed!


    Nian Junting was blushing as he continued to grill him.


    This chap, I told him toy off those rated magazines and films, hes so full of dirty thoughts, Nian Junting thought.


    But the thought of being intimate with Luo Sang made his heart race.


    He knew it wasnt time to be bantering about such things, Quit changing the topic, you havent answered my question. I bumped into Yi Jingxi at Chuens party today.


    The f*ck? Yi Jingxi that bastard? Xiao Si cursed.


    Yi Jingxi made a scene to cause him to misunderstand Luo Sang, Xiao Si wondered if he caused a scene again, What did he say?


    Im asking the questions here, Nian Junting said with annoyance, He said that Luo Sang was his fianc, and he also said that you and Luo Sang


    Hey hey hey, Luo Sang and I are in the clear, were not up to anything, Xiao Si stated clearly, he didnt expect Nian Junting to meet Yi Jingxi so soon, it seemed to him that the cat was out of the bag.


    Luo Sang was Yi Jingxis ex-fiance


    So, he was telling the truth


    Nian Junting felt a heavy weight resting on his chest as Xiao Si confirmed his doubts.


    How could his woman be someone elses fiance? He couldnt believe that she courted Yi Jingxi in the past. He wondered how far they had progressed till, had they kissed, went to bed together?


    No matter how hard he tried to control his emotions, he was feeling angry and indignant as he paced around and kicked the wall with his foot.


    Across the barrier, Xiao Si could hear his frustrated grunts and scuffle. Heforted him, Calm down, didnt you hear me? I said it was a thing of the past! Another thing, you should ready yourself before you hear this. Luo Sangs real name is Xu Luosang, her surname is Xu.


    Xu Luosang? Nian Junting felt rage creeping up on his, she even hid her real name from him!


    Yeah shes the daughter of Xu Zhengxuan of the Xu Group.


    Nian Junting was shocked, That girl? The daughter of that infamous federal criminal?


    Dont say that in front of Luo Sang please, I think shell mind it, Xiao Si sighed, She told me that her dad isnt a bad guy, she said that Yi Jingxi was the one who framed him. Ive heard about the case myself, when it was first reported, it was written in great detail on the newspapers and websites. Who knows, I guess nobody wishes to believe that their own father is like that.


    Nian Junting was silent, he didnt expect Luo Sang to be of such background, daughter of Xu Zhengxuan. No wonder she told him previously that her father was in jail and that his family would never approve of her. This was the reason why she held herself back from being with him.


    So, Luo Sang is that dumb girl I was talking about? The girl who let her fianc steal herpany? Nian Junting concluded.


    Eh I think I remember you making some sort of remark like that, Xiao Si replied, he thought about how amusing it is that Nian Junting had fallen in love with that dumb girl.


    Why did you wait till now to tell me all of this? How long have you kept this from me? Nian Junting felt incredulous that his good pal knew more about his girlfriend than he did.


    Was he really an outsider?

 Chapter 233. Nian Junting Was Boiling with Anger

    Chapter 233. Nian Junting Was Boiling with Anger


    The more Nian Junting thought about it, the more he wanted to throw Xiao Si to Africa.


    Thatis a long story. Actually, I found out about it just recently, Xiao Si said with embarrassment. Earlier, Kashiwa invited me to a mahjong party. I remember that I told you about it. Yi Jingxi was at the party too. I was going to ask him some questions about the filmpany. But when I got there, I found that Luosang was there too.


    Have they been keeping in touch? Nian Junting interrupted him. Did Luosang really cheat on him?


    Xiao Si rolled his eyes and continued, Can you let me finish? I dont know exactly what had happened. Yi Jingxi somehow thought that I was with Luosang, so in front of many people, he humiliated her. He said that Luosang seduced him, and that she isnt a decent woman. I was pretty angry at that time, because I thought that she fooled you. Later, Luosang found me and exined it all to me. It turned out that Yi Jingxi had been giving her a hard time after taking the Xu Groups away from her. He forbade the whole film and television circle to hire Luosang as a voice actor. She was desperate, and thats why she changed her name and left An City. But earlier, Yi Jingxi found her in Xia City. He threatened to stop an online series that used Luosangs voice from airing. Luosang couldnt bear to let this happen, so she went to beg Yi Jingxi. The man said that hed consider to let the online series air, if she agreed to work for Zhong Yi.


    Nian Junting was stunned. How can man like this even exist? He couldnt believe what he had heard. Yi Jingxi took away her family business, leaving her hopeless. Just now he told me, her boyfriend, that hes her fiance, as if they hadnt forgotten each other. Who allowed him to do that?


    He did that? Xiao Si was pretty speechless as well. Luosang told me that Yi Jingxi hates her family. I guess he was just trying to get between you and her. Hes such a freak. Ive pulled some strings with that online series. It has passed the censorship. I asked some friends from the film industry, and they told me that Yi Jingxi didnt only ban Xu Luosang. He recently released a new message and banned a girl named Luo Sang.


    No wonder Ive never seen her take any voice-acting job. Yi Jingxi has really gone too far.


    Nian Junting was boiling with anger. He couldnt believe that his woman had actually been abused like that. Luosang is so silly. She should have told me about that earlier. How could I let anyone bully my woman like that?


    I guess she just didnt want you to know that shes Xu Zhengxuans daughter. After all, she isnt proud of what her father did, said Xiao Si. I came to An City mostly to find out Luosangs past. I was going to tell you after I got some results.


    What did you find?


    I went to her old school. She was really forced to leave. I heard from her schoolmate that she had excellent grades, and that she started voice-acting when she was little. She went to Japan as an exchange student. Added with the fact that she was pretty and capable, she was envied by quite some people. After her father went to prison, nearly the whole school knew about it. At first, the other students simplyughed at her and insulted her withnguage. Later on, she started getting attacked by the other girls in bathrooms. She was often locked in ssrooms during winter nights, and some boys would bar her on the road and tried touching her. The staff at the canteen wouldnt sell her food; some professors wouldnt even allow her in their ssrooms. Some people spread her photos online, so she couldnt find a job. I think thats why she changed her name and came to Xia City. I guess she didnt tell others about her past because she doesnt want to experience all that again.

 Chapter 234. How was Luo Sang humiliated at the poker game?

    Chapter 234. How was Luo Sang humiliated at the poker game?


    Nian Junting was shocked.


    He always saw Luo Sang as a strong and independent woman, he couldnt imagine her shedding a single tear. She was different from those weak women he met in the past.


    He also couldnt imagine a girl being humiliated like that.


    He couldnt imagine Luo Sang being beaten up in the toilet.


    He couldnt imagine her being trapped in a ssroom, shuddering from the cold.


    He couldnt imagine her being bullied by other boys.


    He was angry and he felt a stinging pain in his heart.


    He felt sorry, sorry that she had to go through all those hardships.


    She didnt tell him any of these painful memories, she buried the pain and wore her scars beneath that beautiful exterior.


    He thought about how many times she had to hide her sorrow with a light smile.


    How could his woman be bullied?


    If only he knew her earlier.


    Also, Zhong Yi was her best friend who ended up betraying her with Yi Jingxi. I heard that she used to do voice acting too, Luo Sang used to rmend her to production teams when she was doing well herself, but Zhong Yi backstabbed her by cheating with Yi Jingxi, Xiao Si continued.


    Yi Jingxi that scum should be scrapped from her life sooner, Nian Junting replied coldly.


    Zhong Yi, good, he would remember that name.


    Yeah, no matter what kind of man Luo Sangs father was, she didnt do anything wrong. Its quite unfair that she had to suffer like this, Xiao Si said regretfully.


    Ill remember that man, Yi Jingxi. Oh yeah, how was Luo Sang humiliated at the poker game? Nian Junting said before pausing.


    Um Well


    Speak, Nian Junting sounded harsh.


    Well Zhou Yanfeng sshed a ss of wine onto her, he thought that Luo Sang was ying around with my feelings, thats why he


    I havent seen Zhou Yanfeng in a while, lets all hang out someday, Nian Junting said curtly before he hung up.


    Zhou Yanfeng huh, hell remember that name too, hell remember all of them.


    Back in the wards, Yan Su had already changed Luo Sang into a fresh set of clothes and she was on the phone with someone, I just dont get it, why would the tform suddenly copse?


    Mid-sentence, she noticed Nian Junting walking into the room and quickly hung up.


    Who was it?


    Chuen.


    Nian Junting didnt say anything more, he walked up to the bed and looked at Luo Sang who was sound asleep. Her face was as white as a sheet, her lips were pale and her face slightly gaunt, he didnt remember her to be so skinny.


    Was it because of Yi Jingxi?


    Yan Su looked at him and got reminded of those typical scenes in television drama, he should be sitting by her bed and holding her hand in his by now. She excused herself and left him to be alone with Luo Sang.


    She slowly backed away and tiptoed to the door before Nian Junting turned to look at her, How is Luo Sangs rtionship with Ye Chuen?


    Yan Su was stunned.


    Just tell it as it is, Ye Chuen is just a distant rtive, Nian Junting said coolly.


    Looking at his cold attitude towards the Ye family, Yan Su suddenly felt bad for Ye Chuen. Ye Chuen was unting about her rich rtives when she mattered so little to them.


    Average I guess, were amicable roommates, friends. But Luo Sang and I never considered her as a good friend.


    Why?


    Shes shes from a different world from us. How should I put it? Shes always looking down at us from her ivory tower.

 Chapter 235. She Envies Luo for being Prettier than her and having a Better Voice

    Chapter 235. She Envies Luo for being Prettier than her and having a Better Voice


    Yan Su paused slightly, then observed Nian Juntings expression. After confirming that he wasnt angry, she continued, She wouldnt allow her friends to be better than her. Its not like shes mean. Weve been roommates for quite long, and shes generous to all of us. She always buys us food. Its just, I dont think shes the kind of person you can be a good friends with, unless youre willing to follow her words and do whatever she wants all your life.


    Are you saying that shes narrow-minded and envious and likes to show off? Nian Junting said frankly.


    Well Yan Su choked on her own words. Alright. No wonder this man can run a giantpany. He grasped all the points and summed it up urately.


    Okay, I get it. Itste; you should get back. Tomorrow, when youe here, please bring a few clothes for Luosang. Nian Junting signaled for her to leave.


    Yan Su was still a little worried. About Yi Jingxi, she said, I think you should talk first and dont fight, hes


    I wont fight him, Nian Junting interrupted her.


    Hearing him, Yan Su nodded, walked out, and closed the door from the outside.


    After that, Nian Junting sat in the chair beside the bed, held Luosangs hand with one hand, and called Nian Xi with the other.


    What did you find? he asked.


    My colleagues are here. Just now, they went down to the pool to check underwater. Nothing wrong was discovered for now, said Nian Xi, Hows Sangsang?


    Concussion. Shell do a CT scan tonight. Nian Junting wanted to kill Ye Chuen. Have you questioned the staff who built the stage yet?


    Brother, do you really believe that someone tried to hurt Sangsang? Nian Xi lowered her voice and said, I dont think thats possible. Ive asked the staff who managed the stage about it, and they told me that the people who set up the stage today werete. So the time was too limited. Maybe they forgot to tighten one or two screws.


    Would the Ye Family ever hire such an unprofessional team to build the stage? Nian Junting sneered, Besides, if its just a couple of screws, would the stage fall apart so quickly?


    Nian Xi honestly didnt want to suspect her rtives, so she said, Brother, you mean


    Maybe Ye Chuen is jealous of Sangsang, so she tried to hurt her, Nian Junting said straightforwardly.


    Are you joking? Chuen and Sangsang are friends. Besides, she was supposed to go up the stage after Sangsang. If she did that, she might have fallen into the water herself.


    Shes envious. Shes envious of Luo for being prettier and having a better voice than her. Even Luosangs hair is more beautiful than hers. Nian Junting made it sound very reasonable.


    Nian Xi was a little speechless. There are lots of girls in the world whore prettier than Ye Chuen, so how many people will she try to hurt then? Stop guessing aroundyoure not a cop. This was an ident. The Ye Family has admitted that this was their mistake, and theyll give Sangsangpensation.


    ident? Nian Junting sneered again, My woman fell into the water like that and got hurt. Ill still be unhappy about it even if the Ye Family gave her all they had.


    What do you want then? Aunt Ye is our grandmas niece after all, said Nian Xi helplessly, Im telling you, when you pushed Yi Jingxi away to give Sangsang artificial respiration, and when you carried her away in haste, our grandma was watching. She has been asking me about it after you left. I can tell she doesnt want you two to be together.


    Does it have anything to do with me? Luosang is my girlfriend, not hers, Nian Junting responded ndly, You go capture the man whos responsible for building the stage. If his bosses over, you can tell them that Im gonna sue theirpany, and I want apensation of five million yuan for my girlfriend.

 Chapter 236. He said that you were his fiancée, are you really?

    Chapter 236. He said that you were his fianc��e, are you really?


    Are you charging a little too high? Nian Xi was trying to persuade her brother. As a police officer, she was always the most afraid of victims with family members that sued forrge sums of money, her brother was that kind of family member.


    They shouldve known that she was my girlfriend. Do you know how rich your brother? As my girlfriend, Luo Sang is worth at least ten million dors. Her forehead is injured from the ident, what if it leaves a scar in the future, Im already being merciful by asking for five million dors.


    Nian Junting hung up after that.


    After sighing, he turned behind and looked Luo Sang straight in the eye. She had woken up while he was on the phone.


    So, Im going to be a millionaire from this incident? Luo Sang gave him a weak smile.


    Nian Junting couldnt bring himself to smile at her, he mmed his phone onto the bedside table and looked at her sternly, Yeah, Xu Luosang, you are going to be a millionaire. You traded all of this with your own life.


    Her smile on her pale face froze and she instinctively clutched the white sheets in her fists.


    After a minute, she said hoarsely, You know everything now?


    How did he find out?


    She willed herself to recall the series of events, she remembered seeing Yi Jingxi while she was in the pool. When she was pulled out of the water, she vaguely remembered seeing Yi Jingxi again, then Nian Junting, but her memory was fuzzy.


    Did Yi Jingxi tell you that I am Xu Luosang? she hazarded a guess.


    He told me some bits, he said that you were his fiance, are you really? Nian Junting stared at her.


    Rubbish, Luo Sang was shaking and she was slightly flushed from rage, I used to be, but Im not rted to him in any way now.


    Nian Junting felt a wave of relief, although he felt protective over her, he was still angry at the fact that she hid these things from him.


    I heard about the rest from Xiao Si, I kind of know what you went through, Luo Sang. I know you kept your past from me out of your concern about our rtionship. But dont you think its too much that you shared more about yourself with my good pal than me? Am I such a superficial person in your opinion that I would leave you in view of your history?


    I know you wont, but I Luo Sang gave a helpless smile, How could I bring myself to tell you, tell you that Im Xu Zhengxuans daughter, tell you that my father is a lowly criminal?


    I remember I told you before, that you are not defined by what your parents did


    But I cant speak of my father that way. In my eyes, he is a good person, I lost my mother when I was young and my father was there for me all along. He taught me my values, he took meticulous care of me. I dont even have the cheek to admit that I am Xu Luosang.


    Nian Junting was stunned.


    Luo Sang was clenching her jaw, she could feel herself choking up. No matter how much time had passed, it always made her heart ache to talk about her past again.


    If I hadnt fallen in love with Yi Jingxi and brought him to see my dad, if I didnt insist on my engagement with him, my dad wouldnt havended in jail. You might not believe me, but my father was fiercely protective of his students. He told me that he always felt a sense of pride when he watched his students graduate with flying colors. That was the kind of man he was, but Yi Jingxi testified against him in court and used him of indecency acts against his students. I was in so much pain, I was the one who put him in such a position, I hate myself. Why was I so blind? I dont want to be Xu Luosang, I hate Xu Luosang.

 Chapter 237. Are You Still Mad at Me?

    Chapter 237. Are You Still Mad at Me?


    She could no longer stop her tears from gushing out of her eye sockets.


    Ever since her father went to prison, no one had really cared for her.


    She had been quietly suffering all the pain alone.


    And now, the painful feeling that she had been trying to keep inside herself


    finally exploded.


    Nian Junitng was going to be angry, but when seeing her cry, his feeling


    turnedplicated.


    He frowned, handed her a tissue.


    She covered her eyes with it, and soon it was soaked in tears. After my father


    went to prison, she continued, Thepanys share price fell drastically. I


    got into thepany. But, I lived under my fathers protection since little. I


    focused on my voice-acting, and knew nothing about thepany. Once I got


    in, the other shareholders turned against me. They asked me to leave; they


    said that my Dad was bringing thepany down. I asked my Dads friends


    for help. They pretended to help me, but in fact, they''ve all taken Yi Jingxi''s


    money. They lied to me, and I gave them all my share. I was so stupid. I had


    nothing left, no house, no car. I gave Yi Jingxi what he wanted. I gave him all


    my family had. I hate Xu Luosang. I even want to kill myself.


    Alright, stop talking. I get it, Nian Junting couldnt bear listening. Xiao Si told


    him that she had suffered some harms, yet he didnt know what she was


    thinking back then.


    Now, he figured it out.


    She hated herself.


    He sat on the bed, reached out a hand and gently pulled her into his arms.


    Luosang buried her face in his chest, cried and shivered.


    Soonter, he felt that his shirt was wetted.


    He caressed her hair, eyes showing a cold look.


    He told himself that he would make Yi Jingxi pay for what he had done to her.


    Yi Jingxi looked like a decent man, yet in fact, he had shamelessly hurt a


    woman. What made Nian Junting feel more intolerable was that Yi Jingxi even


    imed to be Luosangs fiance before his face.


    I was too nice, thought Nian Junting, I should have punched him in the face.


    You do have weird taste, as Luosang slowly calmed down in his arms, he


    said sullenly, You liked him, and now you like me. I feel like Im lowered by


    him. Its like Im a freak too.


    Mr. Nian, youre really a freak, thought Luosang.


    Luosang was already sad. Hearing Nian Juntings words, she wanted to cry


    again.


    Yeah, why do I always like freaks?


    No, Yi Jingxi is a bad man, Luosang corrected Nian Junting while sobbing,


    then silently, she added, Youre a freak.


    Nian Junting sighed, said, Fortunately, I knew that you are poor-tasted since


    long ago. I saved you from your poor taste. If it wasnt for me, you might be


    hurt again by some other bad guy in the future.


    Yeah, yeah, you saved me, Luosang had never met someone else who


    would try tofort others like that. She smiled through tears, looked at him


    with her red eyes and asked, Are you still mad at me?


    Her words reminded him of something. So, his handsome face turned dark


    again as he said, I am. You called Yi Jingxis name when youre dragged out


    of the water. Do you still like him? And


    He let go of her, then stood up and made two circles in the ward with an


    extremely sour face.


    Did I? Luosang gave a start. After thinking back carefully, she said, I think I


    saw Yi Jingxis face through the water. I thought he saved me, so


    Youre right, he did save you, Nian Junting was now angry at himself. Why


    did he sit so far away from her back then? If he was closer to her, he would be


    able to save her, and she would call his name.

 Chapter 238. But why did she find him so adorable?

    Chapter 238. But why did she find him so adorable?


    Luo Sang looked dazed beforeughing helplessly, I didnt expect him to save me, he probably just wants to torture me more. Come on, dont be mad at me anymore, I really dont fancy him at all.


    She reached out for his arm and flung it around.


    She could tell that Nian Junting wasnt convinced and she began to worry, Have you stopped liking me? After you found out that I am Xu Zhengxuans daughter


    Havent I already told you, I dont care about this.


    Nian Junting looked at her and said coldly, Am I such a superficial guy? I care more about


    He wanted to know which stage she progressed to with Yi Jingxi, he cared about whether she went to bed with him, whether he saw her body.


    He wanted to ughter him just thinking about it.


    He had kept his virginity till now, young girls nowadays


    She was engaged to Yi Jingxi at a young age of twenty-two, she didnt even know him since they were children like in Nian Xis case.


    He didnt me her though, he knew it wasnt her fault that she met such a scumbag.


    Then what do you care about? Luo Sang looked at him and said, she found it unsettling that he was beating around the bush.


    He was always straightforward with his words.


    Did Yi Jingxi say other things?


    No, Nian Junting plopped himself onto the chair willfully, Oh yeah, dont speak to me, were still fighting.


    Luo Sang wasughing hysterically, she reached out to hold his hand and said coyly, I am a patient, I nearly lost my life back there in the pool. Im still feeling very giddy, I havent even had dinner. Im famished.


    Nian Junting pulled back from her grasp and pulled out his phone without even looking at Luo Sang in her eye. He dialed Lu Kangs number, Come over quickly, buy the patient here a meal from the Cup. Itll be good nutrition for her.


    He hung up and continued to ignore her.


    Luo Sang couldnt help but smile, he was obviously angry with her but he still cared enough to buy the best food for her. Although she had never been to the Cup, she had heard about their food and their pricey menu.


    She looked over affectionately at the man who still had his lips pursed and felt a gush of warmth wash over her heart. She feltforted and at peace, relieved as well.


    Lucky, he didnt leave her after finding out the truth.


    Lucky, he wasnt angry with her for hiding the truth from him.


    Lucky, he still wanted to seek revenge on her behalf.


    Why hadnt she met him sooner?


    Why was she so misled and blinded to love someone like Yi Jingxi?


    If she could turn back time, she would have had a decent family background, a father she was proud of. She could have been worthy of him.


    His grandma was there tonight, Luo Sang wondered if his grandmother had picked up anything, they probably wouldnt approve of her.


    She was overwhelmed with doubt and anxiety suddenly and felt the room spinning around her.


    She slowly let her eyelids fall and she felt her limbs go weak.


    She felt a warm hand being ced on her forehead.


    She smiled and opened her eyes, looking straight into his ck pupils.


    I dont have a fever, Luo Sang held onto his hands.


    Nian Junting grunted resentfully and said, Dont touch me, Im still angry.


    With that, he took his seat on the chair again and crossed his arms.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    She never met anyone who announced that they were throwing a fit.


    But why did she find him so adorable? She was starting to like him more and more.


    She let her eyes close again and fell into a deep slumber. When she woke up again, Lu Kang was there and Nian Junting was unpacking the food and arranging them on the bedside table.

 Chapter 239. Youre Not Mad

    Chapter 239. You''re Not Mad


    Ms. Luo, youre awake. Lu Kang noticed it first. The food is ready.


    Alright. Luosang supported her body with her arms and sat up with a lot of effort.


    The meal was exaggeratedly rich. Even the rice was covered in Matsutake shreds.


    Ms. Luo, if you dont want rice, I can rmend you this millet congee with sea cucumber. Its not bad. You can also have some birds nest soup. Lu Kang introduced the food.


    You didnt have to order me such a rich meal. I can just have some normal food. Luosang looked at Nian Junting and said, I assume you havent had dinner either. Lets eat together.


    Nian Junting turned to Lu Kang and said to him, You tell her I had dinner before she woke up.


    Both Luosang and Lu Kang were speechless.


    Without any other choice, Luosang started eating alone.


    A whileter, Nian Junting said to Lu Kang, You tell her, dont just eat the congee, try the fish maw soup too.


    The corners of Lu Kangs mouth twitched slightly. Mr. Nian, Ms. Luo is sitting right beside you. Cant you speak to her yourself?


    Lu Kang didnt understand why he was even there. Nian Junting and Luosang werent acting like a couple at all.


    Were fighting, Nian Junting said ndly.


    Luosang nearly spat out some congee.


    Whos fighting you? Youre just sulking.


    Mr. Nian, Ms. Luo is injured. You should be nice to her. Why are you fighting a patient? Lu Kang tried to convince him. He felt like he was getting driven crazy by his boss again. Youre not mad. You just dont want to admit that you want to hear some nice words. Its written on your face.


    I am nice, so Im sitting here, Nian Junting said expressionlessly. He believed that no one understood how unhappy he was right now.


    Lu Kang didnt know how to respond. Before, he considered his boss a wise man, but now, he found that Mr. Nian was bing more and more childish ever since he got in a rtionship.


    Mr. Lu, thank you for delivering the meal. You can leave if you want. Luosang smiled and said to Lu Kang.


    Alright, Ill be going then. Boss, call me if you need anything. Lu Kang felt that he should leave as soon as possible, so his boss and his bosss girlfriend could figure out a way to make peace.


    After Lu Kang left, Luosang finished the congee, then looked at Nian Junting pitifully and said, Im thirsty


    Nian Junting silently poured her a ss of water, and put it on the table.


    My hands are powerless, so I need you to help me. Luosang blinked her eyes.


    If your hands are powerless, how did you feed yourself just now? asked Nian Junting. You majored in broadcasting, but you can act too. Your head is hurt, not your hands.


    Luosang clenched her teeth, feeling that he wasnt gentle. I used up all my strength just now. Im still dizzy, she said.


    She pretended to suffer from dizziness.


    Seeing that, Nian Junting hurriedly held her. He sat on the bed, picked up the ss, and prepared to give her some water. But suddenly, Luosang brought herself into his arms and put her arms around his waist.


    Please dont be angry, she said with a sweet and soft voice, I know you care about me. You were making me feel insecure just now. You made me worry if you were still mad because I lied to you.


    She rarely took such initiative. Looking at her delicate face, Nian Juntings heart raced a little.


    He lowered his head with aplicated feeling, then her cold lipsnded on his.


    His heart missed a beat. He looked at her, and his pupils shrank.


    She also widened her eyes to look at him. Her eyshes were shaking slightly like feathers.


    No reaction?


    Confusedly and boldly, she explored his mouth with her tongue and put her arms around his neck.

 Chapter 240. How intense was the kiss such that she fainted?

    Chapter 240. How intense was the kiss such that she fainted?


    She was wearing a loose hospital gown and when she raised her arms, the cor slipped off just slightly such that her shoulders were exposed. His neck was in direct skin to skin contact with her shoulder.


    The two of them were intertwined scandalously and it was hard to describe it with words.


    The more Nian Junting tried to steady himself, the more he couldnt control the blood gushing up his face, and his cheeks were bright pink.


    What a little vixen.


    He knew that she was only acting like a prude and she was finally showing her true colors to him.


    He knew she was coy too.


    He loved how coquettish she was.


    Nian Junting couldnt hold himself back any longer and put down the cup on the table. He encircled her waist with his strong arms and kissed her back with a feverish passion.


    Yi Jingxi must have kissed her like this in the past, I must make her remember my kisses, only mine, Nian Junting thought to himself.


    Luosan was originally in control and kept a good pace, now, she felt as if she was swept into a whirlwind and he was taking over the wheel.


    As he held her in his arms and kissed her fervently and lustfully, she felt her dizziness recur, this time it was even worse than before. She had difficulty breathing and felt suffocated.


    Suddenly, her mind went nk and she copsed limply into him.


    Nian Junting was shocked and hugged her tightly. Herplexion was sickly pale and her eyes were shut.


    Luoluo, Luoluo he called out her name anxiously. When she was unresponsive, he quicklyid her down on the bed and pressed the call button by the bedside.


    He impatiently stormed out of the room before any healthcare professional could respond.


    The moment he stepped out of the room, he saw a male doctor hurrying towards him.


    Your efficiency is too low, why did you wait so long beforeing to see the patient? Nian Junting was panic-stricken and said harshly.


    Its only been about 10 seconds since you pressed the call button, I hurried over immediately when I saw the alert, the doctor said indignantly, he didnt dare to argue any further as he had heard about Nian Juntings social status.


    Cut the bullsh*t, she passed out suddenly, Nian Junting pulled the doctor by his arm and led him towards the ward.


    Thats unusual, what was the patient doing before she passed out? the doctor asked seriously.


    She was we were kissing


    The doctor stumbled and almost tripped on his own feet.


    How intense was the kiss such that she fainted?


    When he entered the room, the doctor pulled out his stethoscope and Luosan opened her eyes weakly.


    Luoluo, youre awake? Nian Junting rushed forward to hold her hand and breathed a sigh of relief, You gave me a scare just now!


    Luosan recalled what had just happened and her pretty face was colored red instantly.


    She actually passed out from a kiss?


    She had never felt more embarrassed than that moment and wanted to cover herself with the sheets.


    It was all his fault, why did he have to kiss her so hard. She couldnt even catch her breath in between. She shouldnt have pacified him.


    Hopefully, the doctor didnt know what happened.


    The doctor awkwardly did an electrocardiogram for her and cleared his throat, Mr. Nian, your girlfriend suffered from a high impact head injury resulting in secondary brain concussion. She should be given proper rest and should not be partaking in any vigorous activities even kissing, it could cause further insult to her brain. Thats why she fainted momentarily.


    Luosan pulled up her sheets slowly and covered half of her face.


    She wished so badly to be discharged right away and never see this doctor again.


    Really, it was humiliating.


    Will she be the joke of the town amongst the doctors here?


    I understand, Nian Junting nodded his head and asked again, Why did you tell me this earlier?

 Chapter 241. Im Older than You, so Ill Tolerate You

    Chapter 241. I''m Older than You, so I''ll Tolerate You


    The doctor didnt know what to say. How could that be his fault? He had been a doctor for tens of years, but what happened just now was new to him.


    However, facing the rich and powerful Nian Junting, the doctor had no choice but to apologize. My apologies, Mr. Nian, I didnt exin well enough.


    Em, you can leave now. Ill call you if we need you, Nian Junting responded ndly, while pointing his chin at the door.


    After the doctor left, Luosang picked up the pillow to hit Nian Junting angrily and shyly. Nian Junting abruptly turned back, frowned, and startedining, You know you had a concussion, but you still risked your health to seduce me. Now what? You cked out. Youre not allowed to do that again.


    Luosang blushed with anger. She put down the pillow, because hitting him with a pillow wasnt enough to channel her anger. She wanted to hit him with a brick. How could he me her when he was to be med, and make his words sound so reasonable?


    Would I have cked out if you didnt kiss me so violently? You wouldnt even give me a chance to breathe! she said.


    How could that be violent? You lured me into that deep kiss. Nian Junting nced at her gently and helplessly, then said, You had a fiance, but your kissing skills are some. It seems that Yi Jingxi is really incapable. Youve never French kissed with him, have you? Or why dont you know how to breathe in a kiss?


    Im done talking. Dont talk to me, or Ill never kiss you again. Luosang was so angry that she turned away and refused to continue the conversation.


    If she kept talking with him, she would definitely ck out again because of anger.


    Im just saying that. How can you get mad so easily? Youre not a child, Nian Junting said while cleaning the table for her. Never mind. Im older than you, so Ill tolerate you.


    Luosang was speechless.


    Tolerate what? I dont want your tolerance.


    She closed her eyes, hearing Nian Junting pacing in the ward. When the footsteps finally stopped, she heard some other noises from the bedside.


    Luosang pretended to be asleep for five minutes, then turned to find that Nian Junting was peeling a kiwi with his hands, head lowered.


    He peeled so unskillfully that quite some pulp was peeled off.


    When he finished peeling, the small kiwi had be fragmentary. He stared at it for a short while, then abruptly lowered his head and ate it.


    Luosang was speechless again.


    After finishing the kiwi, Nian Junting took another one and started peeling it.


    Im a patient. Shouldnt you peel one for me? Luosang felt lucky because she didnt have a heart disease, because if she did, she would have died a hundred times because of how angry Nian Junting made her.


    I wanted to give you a pretty one. The ones I peeled earlier were all too ugly, and there was not much pulp left. Nian Junting knitted his beautiful eyebrows together and said, Lu Kang is really not good at selecting fruits. These kiwis are too small and too soft.


    Its because you dont know how to peel them. Whyre you ming Lu Kang?


    Sighing silently, Luosang said, In that case, I dont think Ill be able to eat any kiwi, even after youve peeled the whole bagful of them.


    Since you dont mind, Ill give you this peeled one, Nian Junting nodded and handed her the peeled kiwi.


    Lousang looked at the awfully peeled kiwi, then silently ate it.


    Ill call the nurse to wheel you to get a CT scanning. Its about time. Nian Junting stood up and called the nurse.


    At eleven oclock at night, Luosang washed herself and lied back into the bed.


    Soonter, her whole body started to feel hot. It made her so ufortable that she couldnt even lift her eyelids.

 Chapter 242. You were the one who slept in my bed in the first place

    Chapter 242. You were the one who slept in my bed in the first ce


    Luo Sang opened her eyes groggily as she felt the sharp prick of the cann. Only then did she notice Nian Junting sitting by the bed.


    Youre running a fever. Theyre giving you some fluids now, catch some sleep, Ill keep an eye on you.


    He cupped her icy hands in his own, his eyes exuding warmth and love for her.


    Luo Sangs heavy eyelids fell shut.


    In her confusion, she vaguely recalled how Yi Jingxi took everything from the Xu family, leaving her with nothing and her health in shambles.


    She once ran a persistent fever for days, even fainting without anyone by her side, forcing her to drag herself to the emergency department for a drip.


    She was on drips for five hours straight without anyone delivering food to her, she had to suffer silently with her gastritis.


    Thinking about what happened then, she found it fascinating that she managed to pull through those difficult times.


    Now, she had him by her side.


    She was reassured.


    She mustered up all her strength to give his hands a little squeeze.


    A single tear rolled down the side of her cheek.


    Nian Junting watched the tear wet the pillow she was lying on and gently wiped it away.


    However, he found it hard to control his jealousy and anger when he thought about Luo Sangs history with Yi Jingxi.


    He knew how much hardships she had been through and he couldnt bear to make things any more difficult. All he wanted to do now was to protect her and never let anyone else hurt her again.


    Sunday morning, the morning glow of the sun flooded the windows of Xia City.


    The curtains in the hospital ward danced with the light breeze.


    Luo Sang felt as if a giant heatpack had been ced beside her, continuously radiating heat, leaving her feeling warm and cozy.


    She turned over to wrap her arms around the giant heatpack. Only that it did not feel like a giant heatpack, and there seemed to be something pressing against her abdomen.


    Her eyes snapped open.


    An almost ludicrously handsome face appeared in front of her. Nian Junting was in deep slumber, a growing ring of dark circles starting to form under his eyes. His luscious eyebrows and soft lips reminded her of a young boy.


    She was not in the mood for adoration however. This was the first time she had shared a bed with and slept in the arms of a grown man, especially with his groin


    Her mind was buzzing.


    She blinked her eyes rapidly and pushed Nian Junting aside with a loud yelp.


    Nian Junting startled awake as he fell from the edge of the bed onto the floor with a loud thud.


    Luo Sang was still in a daze.


    After a couple of seconds, Nian Junting pulled himself to his feet angrily and said between gritted teeth, Luo Sang


    She looked at his crotch dizzily.


    Nian Junting followed her gaze. His lips curled into a smile, Has it been too long since thest time? Must be familiar to you.


    Familiar your ass, Luo Sang cursed, flustered and embarrassed.


    Even though she had seen his erection before when she used to bathe him, she was not his girlfriend then and she had not thought more of it.


    Now however, things were different. Just at the sight of his bulging crotch, she only wanted to dig herself a hole and hide. Yet, Nian Junting seemed to show not a single hint of embarrassment.


    I dont like vulgar women, Nian Junting retorted.


    Luo Sang took a few deep breaths and said between gritted teeth, You were the one who slept in my bed in the first ce. Were you trying to take advantage of me while I was ill?


    I was nning to sleep on the sofa but its not long enough for me. Id wake up with a sore back, Nian Junting said nonchntly.

 Chapter 243. You Crawled into My Arms and Took Advantage of Me, yet Youre Blaming Me

    Chapter 243. You Crawled into My Arms and Took Advantage of Me, yet You''re ming Me


    You can sleep in the other room. This is a suite, and theres a bed in there, said Luosang. At first, she felt a little guilty for identally pushing him off the bed, but now, that feeling was gone.


    He definitely slept on her bed on purpose.


    You had a fever yesterday, so I couldnt leave you to sleep in this room alone. I thought about it and felt that sleeping with you was the best solution as I can observe your condition at any moment. Nian Junting gave a reasonable exnation with a serious look.


    Besides, even though I slept in your bed, Ive kept a distance from you. You crawled into my arms and took advantage of me, yet youre ming me now.


    Luosangs face and neck turned crimson with anger. She wanted to scratch Nian Junting.


    She highly doubted he would use her of rape if they actually had sex.


    Why do I want to kill him so much right now


    Its alright. Youre a patient, so Ill forgive you. I need to go to the bathroom. I cant stay like this, he said.


    Luosang felt like punching a bag full of cotton, as she made an effort to get herself mad.


    But what is he going to do in the bathroom? Hes not going to


    Luosang blushed as she started to imagine things.


    She wanted to find her phone and see the time, but then, she remembered that her phone was left in Ye Family household.


    The doctor walked in and measured her blood pressure and body temperature. Only after that did Nian Junting walk out of the bathroom.


    You spent a long time in there. Luosang threw a sarcastic nce at him and said, I thought you fell into the toilet.


    Its not the first time you learned about my great sexual endurance, he said, ncing at her proudly.


    She wanted to bite her own tongue off.


    How could she possibly know about that? She did nothing but work for him for a while as a carer.


    He made it sound like she was his sexual partner.


    Knock, knock Abruptly, the door sounded.


    Nian Junting opened the door and saw Yan Su, Tang Ning, Ye Chuen, and Mrs. Ye, whose name was Kang Ying.


    Yan Si brought Luosangs clothes and the breakfast, Ye Chuen was holding a bunch of flowers, and Kang Ying was carrying some fruits and some nutritious food.


    Nian Junting instantly frowned. His eyes showed an unfriendly look.


    Mr. Nian, they wanted to visit Luosang, so we came together, Yan Su said helplessly.


    Junting, were here to visit Ms. Luo. Kang Ying smiled and raised the things carried in her hands.


    Nian Junting looked at them with a dark face, remaining silent.


    Tang Ning edged into the room ahead of the others, saying, Sangsang, were here to see you. Can you get out of the hospital today?


    The doctor says that I can leave this afternoon after Im finished with the transfusion, Luosang said. She sat up and smiled. Seeing the others, she nodded and continued, Mrs. Ye.


    Ms. Luo. Kang Ying put the fruits and food on the table, then said apologetically, I should havee to visit youst night, but there were so many guests. After the ident, I was busy seeing them off. The people who built the stage were too careless. You were the emcee of Chuens birthday party, so our family should be responsible for this. Ive bought you some fruits and food, and this, here, is a little gift from our family.


    While speaking, Kang Ying reached her hands toward Luosangs, trying to put a bank card into her hand. However, Nian Junting didnt let her.


    Aunty, do you think you can end this with a bank card? Nian Junting looked at her coldly.


    Under his gaze, Kang Ying quivered slightly, then said, Junting, what else do you expect us to do? Your grandma was asking me about your rtionship with Miss. Luo yesterday.

 Chapter 244. Shes my girlfriend, theres nothing out of the ordinary about mouth-to-mouth, is there?

    Chapter 244. She''s my girlfriend, there''s nothing out of the ordinary about mouth-to-mouth, is there?


    Yeah, brother Junting, when did you and Sangsang meet?


    Ye Chuen interrupted, grinning, Sangsang, you must not have remembered, brother Junting administered mouth-to-mouth on you when you passed out yesterday


    Shes my girlfriend, theres nothing out of the ordinary about mouth-to-mouth, is there? Nian Junting said.


    The word girlfriend caught Kang Ying and the rest off-guard.


    Girlfriend?


    Ye Chuens smile faded. She could tell that Nian Junting was worried about Luo Sang, but seeing him wearing the same clothes fromst night, she found it hard to believe that the two of them hade this far in their rtionship.


    After all, how could a perfectionist and vile-mouthed man like Nian Junting possibly fall in love with someone as ordinary as Luo Sang?


    Yeah, girlfriend. My girlfriend fell into a swimming pool while hosting a birthday party for you, did you think buying us gifts and writing a card would be sufficient?


    Ye Chuen could feel the chill of Nian Juntings sharp, piercing gaze.


    Ye Chuens shoulders fell. She quickly turned towards Luo Sang and begged, Sangsang, please exin to brother Junting, I didnt mean it, it was really an ident.


    Luo Sangs knitted her eyebrows and opened her mouth, but Nian Junting spoke out coldly, I hope it was an ident, too. If it everes to my knowledge that it was not idental, Ill never let the culprit off.


    Ye Chuen shivered. Kang Ying was displeased, Junting, what are you saying? Are you using Chuen of trying to hurt Ms Luo Sang? Theyre good friends, you know.


    Not only do your usations jeopardize their friendship, theyre also inconsiderate to my feelings.


    I didnt say anything like that. You all brought it up by yourselves.


    Nian Junting looked impatient. Auntie, dont me me for my spections, Luo Sang is just too pretty, too clever, and too kind-hearted. Shes surrounded by people who envy her, and Chuen could be just one of them, acting out of her jealousy.


    Luo Sangs face turned red with embarrassment.


    Nian Junting was normally only full of praise for himself, but she did not think herself deserving of thesepliments as well.


    ncing furtively at Ye Chuen, Luo Sang could see tears of indignance welling up in her eyes.


    Kang Yings face looked grim. Junting, even if youre trying to defend your girlfriend, theres no need to speak so badly about your sister. Although shes not Nian Xi, were still family.


    Have I spoken badly? Its just the truth.


    Nian Junting nced at Ye Chuen nonchntly. Im not saying that shes ugly, or that she has poor grades, its just thatpared to Luo Sang, shes stillcking in many ways.


    Luo Sang covered her face with her hands. She felt that Nian Junting was only inciting more resentment against her with every word he said.


    Alright, Auntie Kang, Chuen, dont listen to his nonsense. Hes only in a bad mood because I got hurt. Im more than grateful for you alling to the hospital to visit me. Theres no need for anypensation, Junting will be pressing charges against thepany which set up the tform.


    Yeah, were going to make sure theyll go bankrupt, Nian Junting added coldly.


    Ye Chuen forced augh, Theres no need to be so harsh, right?


    Harsh? Nian Junting uttered sarcastically, Luo Sang fell into the deepest part of the pool and even got pushed down by the heavy nks which fell onto her. If not for timely rescue, she would have drowned right there and then. So, if you think its not harsh enough, why dont I throw you into the pool for a taste?

 Chapter 245. Junting, Dont Go Too Far. Chuen Never Offended You

    Chapter 245. Junting, Don''t Go Too Far. Chuen Never Offended You


    Alright, I was wrong. I think we really should thank Mr. Yi.


    Ye Chuen paused for a moment, then gave Luosang a meaningful nce and continued, Junting reminded me. It was indeed a little dangerous yesterday. After all, it was cold, and the nks were heavy. When Sangsang fell into the water, Mr. Yi jumped in without thinking. He looked so worried back theneven more nervous than earlier when his girlfriend fell into the water. Maybe he has caught a cold or even had a fever too


    Hearing her, Luosang paused briefly.


    Nian Junting gave an icy cold smile, then said, Chuen, I heard that youve signed a contract with Mr. Shens recordpany, that youre going to be a singer. I think you need to go back to school and continue practicing your voice. Youre just not good enough yet. Ill tell Mr. Shen to postpone your album.


    Ye Chuen froze when hearing his words. Kang Ying took a deep breath, then said through clenched teeth, Junting, dont go too far. Chuen never offended you.


    Aunty, why do you say that? Im doing it for her own good. Shes really not good enough. Im afraid that if she bes a singer, people will think that anyone who can sing a few songs can be a singer. I think that might bring a negative influence to some underage people. I believe that if you want to be a public figure, you need to be capable enough.


    After saying that, Nian Junting sat down and continued ndly, Aunty, you can leave now. Luo has a concussion. She needs to rest.


    Alright, youre the sessor of Zhong Zhou; youre in a higher ce than the others, so you always win. But Junting, Im telling you, your grandma is still alive, so you shouldnt push us too far, Kang Ying said tremblingly, then left with Ye Chuen.


    Tang Ning looked around. Once opening her mouth, she saw Nian Juntings awfully cold eyes. So, the words that escaped her mouth became, Then Sangsang, since youre getting out of the hospital today, Ill leave now; Ill talk to youter at the dorm.


    After she finished talking, she left immediately.


    Luosang was a little ashamed. Tang Ning loved to make friends with rich people, but even she was scared away. How scary was Nian Junting just now?


    Sangsang, Mr. Nian, my apologies. I wasnt going to tell them your room number. Tang Ning just wouldnt give up asking me thatst night, so I told her. But I didnt know that she told Chuen, Yan Su exined.


    Its alright, Luosang said, then turned to Nian Junting. You were so unfriendly just now. If Mrs. Ye told your grandma about that, your grandma would me me instead of you.


    Do I need to be afraid of Ye Family? Theyre just relying on my grandfather to survive, said Nian Junting with a dark face. Besides, dont you suspect Ye Chuen?


    Luosang rubbed her forehead. Of course, she suspected Ye Chuen. If it wasnt for Ye Chuens grandma, Luosang would have asked her directly just now.


    I dont have any proof she said.


    Youre from the music department too, arent you? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and turned to Yan Su.


    Yan Su nodded bewilderedly.


    Great. Youre in the same department, and youre roommates. You can also get signed by Star Music and Culture. You can release your album before her and be popr. Shes so proud; shell feel pain.


    Ill tell Lu Kang to talk to Mr. Shen. He has to make you a star. While speaking, Nian Junting took out his phone.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.

 Chapter 246. If not for Ye Chuen provoking Mr Nian with his pet peeve

    Chapter 246. If not for Ye Chuen provoking Mr Nian with his pet peeve


    Luo Sang was shocked, she could imagine how infuriated someone as prideful as Chuen would be if she found out about this, Why does Ye Chuen get on your nerves so easily?


    Nian Junting looked at her expressionlessly. He reached for his handphone and left to make a call.


    Yansu recovered from his momentary daze after hearing about the good news. Blinking, she said, I think I have to thank you and Ye Chuen properly, if not for Ye Chuen provoking Mr Nian with his pet peeve, I might never have had this chance.


    Upon hearing this, Luo Sang was a little envious. Being his girlfriend, he had never put in a good word or sought benefits for her. She had to rely on herself. Pet peeve?


    Yi Jingxi.


    Yansu nced at her, Cant you tell that Ye Chuen deliberately brought up the whole incident with Yi Jingxi just to put Mr Nian off? Well now, shes got a taste of her own medicine.


    Luo Sang was stunned.


    Yan Su looked outside for a moment and whispered, While you were unconscious, Yi Jingxi said many infuriating things, he said that of your body hes seen all theres to see, and being his fianc, the both of you have done whats to be done


    Luo Sangs eyes widened, she suddenly understood why yesterday, Nian Junting seemed as if he had wanted to say something while he was enraged. He must have wanted to ask her if she and Yi Jingxi had ever been involved sexually


    She never imagined Yi Jingxi to be so despicable and shameless, he must have wanted to sow seeds of resentment within Nian Juntings mind.


    Although Nian Junting could suppress his emotions for the time-being, this would certainly leave an indelible mark, being the egoistic person that he was.


    With time, the seeds of resentment would only growrger, eventually growing into a towering tree of hatred.


    Fortunately, Yansu told her the truth.


    Susu, thank you.


    Luo Sang said, brimming with gratitude, You said you were nning to move out at the end of the year, I shall look for an apartment near the school once I am discharged.


    Do you suspect that Chuen was involved in this? Yansu whispered.


    I cant say for sure, I just think that its all been too coincidental, also Ive been getting closer to Chi Shengxu, Chuen might be holding a grudge against me. Furthermore, Ivee to realize after the incident on her birthday, that shes never treated us as friends in the first ce.


    Luo Sang never forgot how Ye Chuen made her apologize to Zhongyi even when she was not at fault.


    Alright, lets move out together. Ill look for an apartment. Oh yes, your phone, I brought it over from Chuens house, Nian Junting came back in as Yansu finished her sentence. She stood up hurriedly.


    Ill go soon, I wont trouble the two of you any longer, give me a call once youre discharged.


    Before she left, Nian Junting reminded her, Ive talked to Lu Kang, shell take you to Hengxin Culture to sign the contract.


    Mr. Nian, thank you, Yansu said earnestly.


    Dont mention it, youre my means to an end, I told Mr Shen to appraise you in the shortest time possible. I cant wait to see Ye Chuen do nothing but look on helplessly in tortured envy, Nian Junting chuckled coldly.


    Yansu looked at Luo Sang quietly.


    Truly, it was not wise to provoke Mr. Nian. He was too capable of making life a torture for others.


    Im a little envious of Yansu now.


    After Yansu left, Luo Sang sighed, Im your girlfriend, but I have yet to be appraised, youve left me to struggle on my own.

 Chapter 247. His Woman Still Has Her Virginity, Just Like Him

    Chapter 247. His Woman Still Has Her Virginity, Just Like Him


    Because youre my girlfriend, I need to be responsible for you. Nian Junting looked at her seriously and said, If you really love voice-acting, you need to rely on your own efforts, and you need to be responsible for yourself as well. Some people rely on their backgrounds and give up making an effort. As for Yan Su, if what I did ruined her, just let her be ruined. I dont really care for her


    Luosang didnt know how to respond, as he talked really honestly. Fortunately, Yan Su had left. If she heard what he had said, she would be infuriated.


    Em Yesterday, were you trying to ask me if Ive slept with Yi Jingxi? She stuttered. Once she finished the question, the look in Nian Juntings eyes turned dark.


    Stop it, he red at her, sounding a little panicked.


    Luosang looked at him in the eyes, then suddenly chuckled and asked, What are you afraid of?


    Xu Luosang, thats enough. Nian Juntings expression changed as he growled at her.


    God knew how cruelly this question had been torturing him since yesterday. He was trying to avoid thinking about it, but she just brought it up.


    You really dont want to know? Luosang smiled like a little fox.


    Nian Junting wanted the answer, but said nothing.


    He had doubts. She and Yi Jingxi had engaged, so how could they not have sex?


    He had only been her boyfriend for two days, but he already wanted to drag her into a bed and eat her alive.


    Looking at him, Luosang sighed, then got out of the bed, walked to him, and gently hugged him. She bit her lip, chuckled, and said, I didnt. I didnt sleep with him. Dont imagine things just because of what Yi Jingxi said. Hes the best at making up stories.


    You really didnt? Nian Junting paused and asked.


    No. Since I was little, my Dad taught me that girls need to protect themselves. Regarding these kinds of things, Im kinda old school.


    Luosang sighed. That was the only thing that made her feel grateful about her rtionship with Yi Jingxi.


    Em, thankfully you didnt do that with him. He looks like a sexually dysfunctional patient, Nian Junting rubbed Luosangs face, eyes showing happiness and his lips curved into a big smile.


    His woman still has her virginity, just like him. It was so great.


    Luosang was speechless. How do you know that? Are you familiar with him? she asked.


    I would never be familiar with sneaky men. Nian Junting wore a scornful look and said, Sissy-looking men like him do look sexually dysfunctional. If you need a boyfriend, youll need someone like me, who can provide you with the best endurance and explosive power.


    Luosang wanted to record his words. One day, if he turned out to be not so good in bed, she would humiliate him to death with the recording.


    Ive talked with Sister Lan. Shell go to your dorm room to collect your things, then bring them to Tianhu Vi. Youll move into the vi this afternoon, to heal, Nian Junting said, eyes brightening. You havent recovered yet. I cant let you go back to live in your dorm room, especially not with Ye Chuen. Now, she knows that youre my girlfriend, so shell definitely try to tear us apart.


    I can stay in the vi for a few days. But the vi is too far away from our school, and Ill be spending too much time on the road she said.


    Youre right though, he said, putting an arm around her. After a short while of thinking, he continued, Ill buy a duplex near your school, then we can live together. Ill let Sister Lane take care of us.


    I dont remember saying that I was going to live together with you. Yan Su and I have decided to rent a t together near our school.

 Chapter 248. Am I of less importance to you than Yansu?

    Chapter 248. Am I of less importance to you than Yansu?


    Nian Junting let go of her and frowned, Youd rather move in with Yansu instead of me, am I of less importance to you than Yansu?


    Ive only dated you for a few days and you already want me to move in with you. I did not even cohabit with Yi Jingxi when I was engaged to him. Furthermore, if I was the type to move in casually with any man I meet, I would definitely have slept with other men before meeting you.


    Luo Sang said solemnly, Junting, I hope you can respect me.


    Alright.


    Admitting that she was right, Nian Junting said, Then when will you move in with me? After marriage? Sure, lets get married after graduation next year.


    Stunned, Luo Sang pried herself free of his arms. Thats too fast, Im still so young, I dont want to marry so soon.


    Although Im young too, I just want to get in bed with you sooner, in that case, I can only do so respectfully by marrying you earlier.


    Nian Junting picked up her hand and brought it to his lips indignantly, giving it a peck. His face remained straight without a hint of emotion.


    Luo Sangs face started to glow red in exasperation. She had never met anyone who treated the topic so nonchntly and straightforwardly.


    Furthermore, he was being unrealistic. Would his family agree to the marriage?


    At the hospital carpark, Kang Ying opened the door of the Porsche. She mmed the door shut after getting in and looked at Chuen who was in the codriver seat with a piercing gaze.


    Tell me the truth, did Luo Sangs ident at the pool have anything to do with you?


    Mum


    Ye Chuen grasped at Kang Yings sleeves desperately, You need to help me, the people from the event nningpany cannot speak a word about this.


    You really Kang Ying was infuriated, jabbing her finger on Chuens forehead, Isnt she your friend? Dont you know you nearly got someone killed?


    What friend? I dont have friends as poor as she is, said Ye Chuen, curling her lips.


    I wasnt nning to put her in danger, I just got the people setting up the stage to help me out, I only wanted Chi Shengxu to see Luo Sang in her unmorous state, falling from the stage into the waters, I did not expect the boards to push her down deeper, nor did I expect her to get so close to Brother Junting so discreetly. If not for Brother Junting, she wouldnt mean a thing.


    So ultimately, all this was still for that scoundrel Chi Shengxu. Take a look at his background, when would his family ever agree to him being together with someone with such an unexceptional background?


    Kang Ying scoffed, If you want to deal with Luo Sang, just tell me. I can pay a visit to Principal Ximei and she would be disposed of ever so simply. As for you however, going through all this trouble


    I just wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone, Ye Chuen was vexed.


    Youre too inexperienced, if you like him, your Dad and I can simply speak with his parents to arrange a marriage for you.


    Ye Chuens eyes lit up, Then theres still a chance, please help me out.


    Kang Ying was exasperated, You need to deal with this scorpion Junting immediately, even though hes family, he has never had a care for your Dad and me. Hell eventually inherit Zhong Zhou Group, if you ruffle his feathers, how then will your Dad and I have a future in thepany?


    Yes, he doesnt have a shred of evidence, yet he is asking Hengxing Music to cancel my contract, do you think hes serious As Ye Chuen finished her sentence, a call came in.


    She looked at the number on her phone with a sense of foreboding, Hello, Ms Hua

 Chapter 249. You Havent Recovered Yet, so I Need to Take Care of You At Night

    Chapter 249. You Haven''t Recovered Yet, so I Need to Take Care of You At Night


    Chuen, what did you do? Just now, Mr. Shen told me to drop the recording work of your album. And Mr. Shen has decided to sign a contract with a girl named Yan Su from your department. I also heard that he will release her first album before the end of this year. Apart from that, the advertisement says that thepany prepared for you is now all hers.


    Ye Chuen was stunned when hearing that. As soon as she realized what she had heard, she burst in screams and hung up the phone.


    Mom! Star Music and Culture is going to make Yan Su popr! It must be because of Luo Sang! She and Yan Su are best friends. You should talk to Aunt Murong now! Ask her for help! If Yan Su bes a singer before me how am I gonna face my ssmates?


    Luo Sang is so mean. Does she really think she can be a member of Nian Family? In her dreams! Kang Ying patted Ye Chuen on her shoulder and said, Dont worry, Ill go visit your grand-aunt now.


    Soon after the car started, Ye Chuens phone rang again. Seeing Zhong Yis name on the screen, she frowned impatiently, wondering why Zhong Yi was calling her just now.


    However, as Zhong Yi was a popr actress, she still answered the call even though she didnt want to.


    Ms. Zhong


    Chuen, do you have time? Lets meet up.


    Ye Chuen gave a bitter smile and said, Ms. Zhong, something happened at my homest night. You saw it. How can I


    Its about Luo Sang. Zhong Yiughed with a deep voice and said, I was going to talk to you yesterday after the ident, but I didnt get a chance as you were busy dealing with the mess. Dont worry, its gonna be quite interesting. Ill tell you everything about Luo Sang back in An City


    Ye Chuens heart missed a beat. She said, Alright, Ill meet you right now.


    Ill meet you at Shiyan Cafe.


    At 4:00PM in the Tianhu Vi, Luosang got out of the car. Sister Lan hurriedly came to carry up her things. Its been only a few days, but look how pallid you are.


    Thank you, Sister Lan. Hows your grandson?


    Luosang asked smilingly, I dont need to cook again, do I?


    Of course you dont. Youre a patient. Sister Lans chubby face blushed slightly as she threw Nian Junting aining nce.


    Nian Junting coughed slightly. She has figured everything out already; why did she bring it up again?


    Walking into the vi, Luosang still felt a little dizzy. She walked directly into the guest room to rest.


    Once in the room, she saw a small folding table beside the bed in the room. The folding bed looked very familiar. Luosang recognized it as the bed that she used to sleep inst year, when she was Nian Juntings carer.


    Thats she turned to look at Nian Junting.


    He sat on the small bed, raised his eyebrows, and said, You havent recovered yet, so I need to take care of you at night.


    Luosang felt that she had somehow detected a shameless look in his face.


    Im not as disabled as you werest year. I dont need your care. Go back to your own room, she said.


    No. Even though I want to sleep in my own room, the doctor said that you have a concussion, which means you may feel dizzy and get headaches. You see, yesterday you passed out during a kiss, so how can I let you sleep here alone?


    Nian Junting shook his head, eyes filled with a worried look.  I just cant sleepfortably alone, thinking about how you stayed up all night to look after me.


    Hearing him mention the kiss, Luosang felt very annoyed. Not to mention the fact that Sister Lan was right beside them.


    Through clenched teeth, she said, Thank you. If it werent for you, I wouldntve pass out yesterday. If I let you sleep here, I might pass out even more frequently.

 Chapter 250. Sangsang, you only have eyes for my brother, his charisma is truly incomparable

    Chapter 250. Sangsang, you only have eyes for my brother, his charisma is truly iparable


    What are you thinking, that I want to crawl into bed with you? Im not so shameless.


    Nian Junting chided her with an earnest expression, You dont have to be shy, its not like we havent slept in the same room before.


    Slept in the same room


    Sister Lan, who was standing aside could not help but blush.


    Luo Sang was utterly embarrassed. Somehow, the innocent words Nian Junting uttered sounded so scandalous.


    Even if I need someone to take care of me, I can ask Sister Lan, I dont need you around.


    Sister Lans snoring at night is so loud, you wont be able to sleep, Nian Junting turned to Sister Lan and asked, Am I right?


    Sister Lan momentarily felt vexed and exasperated. Her grandson was injured, and now she had to bear a reputation of having loud snores.


    Yes, I snore, Ive been snoring really loudly recently, Master Nian alwaysins that he can hear my snores when he walks past my door.


    See? With such loud snores, I can never let her take care of you, Nian Junting nodded, Regardless of whether you agree, I must stay here to look after you.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    She quickly realized her mistake. She should not have agreed toe to Tian Hu Vi to recover.


    This scoundrel had even learnt to put on an earnest and innocent appearance while going about his mischievous ways. The trouble was that you could not find fault with any of it, and if you did, he could even turn it against you for being unchaste.


    Just before dinner in the evening, Nian Xi arrived at the vi hastily in her police uniform.


    Sangsang, are you feeling better? I was nning to visit you in the hospital in the day, but I have been investigating yesterdays incident.


    Much better, its not a serious injury, Luo Sangs eyebrows twitched, What have you uncovered?


    I have discovered that there is something suspicious about your ident.


    Nian Xi took a sip of hot tea and said, The nningmittee gave me a blueprint of the event stage. I got a senior from the investigation department to take a look, he said that under normal circumstances, if there were one or two loose screws, the stage would not copse in such a short period of time, unless the piece in the middle hadpletely not been screwed on securely.


    Luo Sang felt a chill go down her spine, could Ye Chuen have invited her to host her party as part of a ploy?


    Maybe she deliberately let Luo Sang fall into the water to embarrass herself, but they did not have any conflict on a daily basis and were even roommates for a year. Could Chuen have been so vicious?


    If I may ask so presumptuously, Sangsang, did you and Ye Chuen bear any grudge against each other? From what I see, you two are friends. Nian Xi too, found it hard to believe that Ye Chuen would do something like that.


    Luo Sang nced at Nian Junting before speaking, She likes Chi Shengxu, but Chi Shengxu doesnt seem to be interested in her. Chi Shengxu and I are friends.


    I see, I noticed that day, Chi Shengxu seems to fancy you.


    Nian Xi felt Nian Juntings cold re fall upon her. With a shiver, she added hurriedly, Of course, Sangsang, you only have eyes for my brother, his charisma is truly iparable.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    Such ttery


    Nian Junting cleared his throat, Pass all of your findings to mywyer, Ive decided to press charges for conspiring to murder. Of course, if the true culprit turns him or herself in, I will consider going less harshly on them.


    Nian Xi was a little disturbed, if the investigations indeed revealed Ye Chuen as the culprit, it would be troublesome. Then, Grandma and Mum would also be dragged into the matter.


    Nian Xi, thanks for the hard work. Let me peel an orange for you, after all, Luo Sang will not have much to say about this matter.

 Chapter 251. Thats Uniform Temptation

    Chapter 251. That''s Uniform Temptation


    Great, great Sister-inw, youre so nice. Nian Xi wanted to cry. You know what? Earlier, my brother peeled fruits for you every day. I wanted to eat some, but he wouldnt let me. I spent a time begging him, and only then did he give me some sour grapefruits.


    Sister-inw


    Luosang blushed and said, Dont call me that.


    No can do. I finally have a sister-inw whos nice to me. Ill call you that every day so you can never leave.


    Nian Si sighed sadly and continued, The sisters-inw in TV series are all mean. They love to urge their husbands to take the the possessions of their brothers and sisters. But thankfully, Sangsang is a good person.


    What kind of TV series are you watching? The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she turned to look at Nian Junting. She hoped he would say something to his sister.


    To her surprise, Nian Junting took out his phone, nodded, and said, Good. Ill give you some money via WeChat.


    Thank you! Brother! Nian Xi held her face with both hands and happily sprung up from the couch.


    Luosang was speechless.


    She was peeling an orange the whole time, but Nian Xi got awardedwhy?


    Why are you looking at me? I was going to give you money too, but you always refuse my kindness. You wouldnt even let me rent out a t for you. You wont ept my money. Ill just not give you any, in case you need to return it to me, Nian Junting said, ncing at Luosang.


    Luosang turned back to continue to peel the orange, but inside, she was crying silently.


    She would ept his money, as long as he didnt make the amount too huge.


    Mr. Nian, I think you misunderstood me.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said to her brother, You can give her small amounts of money, like five-hundred and twenty, one-thousand, three-hundred and fourteen those lovely numbers. My God, my sister-inw, did you receive any red envelope money from my brother before you became his girlfriend? Ji Chuan sends me red envelopes every Valentines Day.


    Ji Chuan? Luosang paused briefly, then smiled, and asked, Do you have a boyfriend?


    Hes my fiance, said Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi chuckled and hurriedly took out her phone to show Luosang Ji Chuans photo, then said, His father and my father were friends in the army. We knew each other since we were little, so we engaged when we were kids. Hes really handsomelook. He and my brother were army friends.


    Luosang took a close look at the photo. The man in the photo was wearing a military uniform and saluting. He stood straight, looked handsome, cold, and proud. His skin was tan, and his brows were as beautiful as swords while eyes were as bright as the stars; his face was perfect and manly shaped.


    Hes really a handsome man, Luosang said, making a reasonablement. He looks way too good in his uniforms. That is uniform temptation.


    Yeah, I think he looks super hot in his uniform too. Nian Xiughed and said, I have other photos of him; would you like to see?


    Sure.


    Seeing the two girls get closer and closer to each other, Nian Junting took away the peeled orange in Luosangs hands with discontent.


    Brother, what are you doing? My sister-inw peeled that for me, Nian Xi said while she red at him.


    Didnt I give you money? The orange is mine. Nian Junting tore off arge piece of the orange and put it into his mouth.


    Luosang hadnt peeled him any fruit in a long time. The orange she peeled tasted as good as it always did.


    Nian Xi got angry, feeling that her brother was so unreasonable.


    Stop looking at the photos. The meal is ready. You can just look at me. Im much more handsome than hi., Nian Junting dragged Luosang up from the couch and walked toward the dining table.


    Luosang said speechlessly, Really? Are you even jealous of Nian Xis fiance?


    Nian Junting nodded and said, Yes, I am. You cant call any man handsome but me.

 Chapter 252. Standing before her was statuesque figure dressed in a green army uniform

    Chapter 252. Standing before her was statuesque figure dressed in a green army uniform


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    Nian Xi looked at Luo Sang sympathetically, Luo Sang must have reaped a significant amount of bad karma in her past lives to have been fancied by her brother.


    As Luo Sang picked at her food mncholically at the dining table, she seemed to suddenly recall something, Oh yes, Xixi, why dont sleep with me tonight? your brother worries for me after my injury, you can keep mepany.


    Sure, I dont intend to go back anyways, its too gruelling, Nian Xi nodded incessantly.


    No way, Nian Junting said as heid down his chopsticks.


    Dont tell me she snores as well, Luo Sang was tormented.


    Shes working overtime tonight, Nian Junting said.


    Nianxi had a sense of foreboding, Who said?


    I said, Nian Junting whipped out his handphone, Let me give your officer a call.


    Luo Sang was lost for words.


    Nian Xi looked as if she were about to cry. She put away her food and grabbed his hand, begging, Enough, enough, will it suffice if I dont sleep here tonight? Im already dead beat from staying upte to investigate Sangsangs casest night.


    Alright, then I wont make you work overtime.


    Nian Junting put down his handphone, satisfied, Dont see it as your elder brother threatening you, if you dont want to go back, you can sleep in your own room too.


    No no, Ill go back, Nian Xi waved her hands lethargically, she preferred not to be found guilty of being a third-wheel and forced to work overtime.


    As Luo Sang looked on, she felt immensely apologetic towards Nian Xi.


    A short while after dinner, Nian Xi left. Luo Sang was upset at how over-bearing Nian Junting was, and so she ignored him and went to take a shower.


    After her shower, she noticed that Nian Junting had note into her room yet, so she began ying with her handphone.


    Shortly, she heard a knock at her door, followed by the sound of the door opening and footsteps.


    Luo Sang deliberately looked down and continued ying with her handphone, until a hand snatched it away. She looked up and was stunned.


    Standing before her was statuesque figure dressed in a green army uniform, with glistening hairbed neatly to the sides. He wore an almost perfectly handsome face with chiseled features. Compared to his usual look in his business suit, this was a far more awe-inspiring sight.


    The corners of Nian Juntings lips were raised elegantly.


    Looking at Luo Sang staring at him, awestruck and nearly salivating, he felt a little helpless. He knew that in the past, many female soldiers had been instantly infatuated at the sight of him in his military uniform, but Luo Sang was simply spellbound.


    Why are you dressed like this? Luo Sang had some difficulty finding her voice again.


    Although he was certainly handsome and made her heart flutter, he was now discharged from the army and it was strange for him to put on his uniform in the middle of the night.


    I was tidying my wardrobe just now and chanced upon my uniform from years ago, so I decided to try it on. I didnt think it would fit, but it appears that after all these years after being discharged, my figure remains as perfect as ever.


    Nian Junting sat down at the side of the bed, staring deeply into her eyes, without a hint of emotion on his face.


    Why would someone tidy his wardrobe for no apparent reason?


    Did he think that she was an idiot?


    Luo Sang coughed, I remember talking to Nianxi about her boyfriend in his military uniform before dinner, dont tell me that you put on your uniform just because of that.


    How can that be? Am I that kind of guy? Nian Junting casually raised his eyebrows.


    Luo Sang remained at a loss for words.


    You are you are


    A cacophony of voices reverberated in her head.


    Normally, wearing my business suit already makes me ady-killer, it was just that Nianxi was there showing off her boyfriend, so I did not say anything, Nian Junting remarked nonchntly.

 Chapter 253. Who Allowed You to Come onto My Bed?

    Chapter 253. Who Allowed You to Come onto My Bed?


    When I was a soldier, the girls in the army couldnt even see Ji Chuan. He was noticed after I left, said Nian Junting.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. If Nian Juntings face wasnt impably handsome, she would certainly vomit.


    She suddenly felt that he was actually restraining his narcissism before, and now he had stopped doing it.


    Luosang smiled coldly and said, Yeah. I guess you were happy with many girlfriends back in the army.


    How can that be possible? The army is very strict. And in fact, there werent many girls there. Sensing the tense atmosphere, Nian Junting hurriedly dragged Luosang into his arms, lowered his head to kiss her lips hard, then said, Those girls werent as pretty as you are. They were just ugly.


    Luosang raised her head to look at his straight nose and sexy lips. Maybe it was because he was wearing the military uniform, but she felt that he was especially charming. His Adams apple was partially hiding in his uniform, radiating a male hormone, making her face blush and her heart race.


    In fact, she meant what she said to Nian Xi earlier.


    Some men liked women in uniforms, and some women liked men in uniforms as well, especially the serious-looking military uniforms. She now had an impulse to unbutton his clothes.


    But of course, she couldnt let Nian Junting know about these thoughts, or he would get too proud.


    But I remember thatst night, you said that Xiaosi has poor taste? Luosang gave a fake smile. She remembered it clearly, and she wasnt happy about it.


    I said that on purpose. I wanted to attract your attention. Nian Junting gave a wicked smile.


    Luosang gave up. Nian Junting could always find excuses.


    Are you still dizzy? I want to kiss you. Dont forget to breathe, he said.


    As Luosang was staring straight at him, he started to sense heat inside his chest.


    I dont know how. Dont kiss me. Luosang pushed him away and turned back. She still felt ashamed for what had happened earlier.


    Ill teach you, Nian Junting pressed her down and tried to kiss her lips. She wouldnt let him touch her lips, so he kissed her ears. Soon afterwards, he found that every time he kissed her ear, she would quiver. Instantly, he held her earlobe in his mouth and wouldnt let it go, as if he had discovered a newnd.


    Thats enough! Luosang felt she was taking a bath in a hot spring because her entire body was limp and hot.


    Nian Junting didnt listen to her, but kept kissing her ears; his lips slowly reached her neck. Luosang couldnt help but let out a soft moan.


    With a crimson blush, she then turned to pinch him, saying, Who allowed you toe onto my bed? Arent you here to take care of me? If you do it again, I wont let you be here tomorrow.


    Luo, your voice is so beautiful. Im so looking forward to the day we finally melt into one, he said.


    After saying that, he silently climbed onto the small bed, then lied on one side, and rested his head on a hand, looking at her.


    Luosang covered her face with the nket.


    She felt like going crazy. How could he say that? Who wants to melt into one with him? She felt really shy.


    She waited for a little, but she didnt hear any noise, so she lifted the nket and asked him, Arent you going to go to the bathroom this time?


    No, Ill just look at you, Nian Junting gazed at her and said.


    Hearing that, Luosang started imagining things.


    She felt that her mind was turned dirty by him.


    What is he thinking about while looking at me? With these thoughts, Luosangs head became smoky.

 Chapter 254

    Chapter 254


    Luo Sang diverted her gaze away from him and began texting in the group chat set up in her phone. Previously for the purposes of rehearsing for a skit, six of them had created a group chat to keep in contact with each other. This time she had to take two days off to recover from her injury, but she still had to keep in contact with them.


    Who are you texting?


    Nian Junting was displeased, Is texting more important than being with me?


    I didnt attend school, Im trying to catch up with the lessons which were taught today from my ssmates, Luo Sang lied, she was not willing have an argument with him over the skit.


    Alright then.


    Nian Junting did not pursue the matter, Sleep earlier, the doctor told you not to keep using your handphone.


    Mm Luo Sang was indeed not feeling very well. She sent herst messages to the group chat andid down on the bed. She looked over at Nian Junting curiously.


    Arent you going to change out of your uniform before you sleep?


    Nian Junting pondered on this for a moment and took off his outer coat, revealing his camouged t-shirt. He thought he might appear ever so slightly more dashing.


    No need to change into my pajamas, its too troublesome. This will do.


    Luo Sang blinked, uncertain of what to say.


    Oh yes, dont climb into my bed tonight when you finally sumb to your fetishes for my uniform, Nian Junting instructed before he closed his eyes.


    Luo Sang was speechless, Dont dont you want to cover yourself with a nket?


    No need.


    If he covered himself with a nket, how was she going to admire him in his uniformed look discreetly? How coy of her.


    Luo Sang was having a headache, but she still sat up, grabbed one of the nkets by her side and threw it over to him. Its cold at night, cover yourself or youll catch a cold.


    Luoluo, you really care for me, Im starting to like you more and more, Nian Junting opened his eyes and confessed suddenly, his gaze deep and enthralling.


    Luo Sangs heart skipped a beat and she felt her face turn red.


    The mattresses in the dormitory and the hospital were hard and stiff, but the mattress in the vi must have been ridiculously expensive, for Luo Sang felt as if she were resting amongst soft clouds of cotton.


    Luo Sang slept till daylight. When she woke up however, she found that she was once again in Nian Juntings embrace. In addition, he had his arms wrapped around her waist. She had secretly removed her brast night before she went to bed, and now her bosom was pressed firmly against his chest.


    She was dumbfounded once again.


    Coming to her senses, she infuriatingly dragged Nian Junting awake. Nian Junting, get up this instant.


    Mm Nian Junting sat up groggily, his short and dark hair was slightly messy, and he wore a drowsy look on his face.


    Last night you squeezed into my bed at the hospital because you said that the sofa was too narrow, Ill let that one slide. Tonight however, you still came over from your wide and spacious bed to sleep in mine, isnt that a little too much?


    Luo Sang was frustrated, how could have she trusted once again that he was not going to be mischievous at all?


    Nian Junting blinked a few times and looked around him before finally snapping awake, Yeah, how did I manage to end up in your bed? Oh, I know, it must have been that you sumbed to the sight of me in my uniform and carried me over to your bed.


    Luo Sang was lost for words.


    Youre strong, you used to carry me frequently, you must have done the same as wellst night, Nian Junting maintained an innocent expression.


    Luo Sang was so angered that she burst outughing instead. Unable to control herself, she grabbed a pillow and started bashing Nian Juntings face with it, Climbing into my bed shameless is one thing, using me instead is another! Youre not allowed toe into my room tonight.


    Not fair, you dont have any proof.


    Nian Junting frowned, I also have to posit that you it was you who carried me over to your bed and took advantage of me without taking responsibility for it.


    You should go into acting, Luo Sang stood up from the bed, infuriated.

 Chapter 255. Are You Going to Give Up on Zhong Zhou for A Woman?

    Chapter 255. Are You Going to Give Up on Zhong Zhou for A Woman?


    After getting off the bed, Luosang felt a little strange. Then, she lowered her


    head to find that she didnt wear a bra, but only a light yellow pajamas, and


    her breasts were partially exposed.


    She blushed once again, especially when she saw Nian Junting gaze straight


    at her chest. She stormed into the bathroom and mmed the door.


    Nine oclock in the morning, Sister Lan served the breakfast and sensed a


    weird atmosphere in the dining room.


    Luosang was silently chewing a crab yolk bun, while her young master was


    tasting the coffee with a big smile, and a very, very proud look


    Xiaosi came into the dining room, tail wagging. Seeing him, Luosangs eyes


    glowed a little. She hurriedly held Xiaosis head and give him a kiss, then feed


    him arge piece of ham.


    Good boy, you did me a big favor yesterday, she said.


    What did he do? Nian Junting unhappily dropped his eyebrows. Because he


    hadnt been held and kissed by her like that for quite long.


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said, He scared Zhong Yi and made her fall into


    the water.


    I get it, he said, nodded, If I make Zhong Yi fall into the water every day, will


    you kiss me and feed me every day?


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched slightly. Really? Are you jealous of a dog?


    She thought.


    You didnt reject, so its a deal, Nian Junting crossed his arms and began


    thinking about how to make Zhong Yi suffer.


    Soonter, his phone rang. Seeing the word Grandfather on the screen, he


    frowned, picked up the phone and walked into the backyard.


    Grandpa


    Where are you? Make some time ande to my ce, Murong Zes voice


    was heard.


    Why? You can just talk to me on the phone. Im busy today, Nian Junting sat


    on thewn and nced into the dining room through the French window.


    Seeing Luosang and Xiaosi eating happily, he gave a faint smile unwittingly.


    You think I dont know that youre just staying with Xu Luosang? Said


    Murong Ze angrily.


    Nian Juntings expression changed slightly, saying, Who told you that?


    Yesterday, Ye Chuen and her mother didnt seem to know about Luosangs


    real identity, so how did his grandfather find out? Did Yi Jingxi tell him that?


    Thats not important. Who are you? How can you be with the daughter of a


    molester? What if some people with bad intentions tried to hurt you with this


    fact? Have you thought about the consequences? Murong Ze said angrily,


    As a leader of apany, dont you know how important your reputation is?


    If you mind that, I wont take over Zhong Zhou. Thats no big deal, and Im


    fine with it, said Nian Junting ndly.


    I have Shengting anyway. With my capabilities, I believe Shengting will


    be just like Zhong Zhou in less than ten years.


    Murong Ze was so angry. Your mother is my only child, so who else can take


    over Zhong Zhou but you? Nian Xi is a police officer, and she doesnt like


    doing business. And, are you really giving up on Zhong Zhou for a woman?


    Whats so good about her? Can a molester ever raise a decent girl? Not to


    mention the fact that she has engaged with someone else.


    Its not that Im giving up on it, its just you dont want to give it to me


    anymore. I can do nothing about it. Nian Junting picked up a fallen leaf, said


    seriously, And, people arent all the same. You see, my grandparents on my


    fathers side have divorced, will you and grandma divorce too? You two are a


    sweet couple, arent you? Luosang is knowledgeable and well-educated.


    Please judge her after you know her.


    Her father molested a student. Thats different from the divorce of your


    grandparents, said Murong Ze, Shes a little vixen. You didnt want a


    rtionship before, but now youre infatuated with her

 Chapter 256. Im going to be with Xu Luosan no matter what

    Chapter 256. I''m going to be with Xu Luosan no matter what


    Youre right, she is a little vixen. Dont all men like little vixens?


    Nian Junting said matter-of-factly, Didnt you tell me that grandma was like a little vixen back in the day? I understand now, Ive inherited your preferences in women.


    Mu Rongze was choked with anger and said after a long pause, Anyway, I wont allow it. I simple wont allow it.


    I dont need your permission, Im the one finding a wife.


    Nian Junting Mu Rongze shouted angrily.


    Also, who ratted on me? Is it the Ye family


    Speaking of them, you do recognise that Ye Chuen is your sister right? How could you bar her from releasing her album? I cant believe youre grooming another artiste to bring her down, your grandma is furious at you.


    Mu Rongze softened his voice and continued, Your grandaunt is your grandmas sister. You should know how protective your grandma is over her side of the family.


    Nian Junting chuckled and said, Tell grandma to keep an eye on Ye Chuen. What she did nearly killed someone. Ill find the evidence and send her to the police.


    Mu Rongze was shocked, What did she do?


    Even if I tell you now, you wont believe me, especially when the Ye familyes to you and grandma again. I cant be bothered to tell you.


    Nian Juntingughed coldly, Last night, auntie tried to introduce the daughter of Executive Shen to me. Even when Im not in Zhongzhou, I know the dynamics in thepany. I know that Executive Shen has always maintained a close rtionship with the Ye family, they are trying to manipte me.


    Nian Junting paused and continued firmly, Im going to be with Xu Luosan no matter what, I wont be wavered or intimidated by any threats from you guys. Alright, thats enough, I have to finish my breakfast with that little vixen now. Ill drop by to visit you and grandma when I have time. If you still cant see where Iming from, you can go find another sessor.


    You little brat beep, beep.


    Nian Junting ignored his grandfathers angry voice and hung up. He calmly kept his phone away and walked back to the dining room with a light heart.


    Luosan had already finished her food, Is it your grandmother? Did they scold you, she asked worriedly.


    Theyve scolded me for many things in the past, it doesnt bother me.


    Nian Junting grinned and sipped his coffee, Hes not happy now, but hes still going to pass down thepany to me. None of his nephews are as clever or capable as I am. Without me, hispany would go bust within 20 years.


    Oh


    Luosan pitied his grandfather, no wonder he was always so mad at his grandson.


    But your grandma and your family would surely oppose of our rtionship, wouldnt they? Although Ive only spoken briefly with your grandma at the party, I could tell that she values family background and it would be a very important criteria for her. If they find out about my father


    Have you thought about marrying me? If not, you dont have to concern yourself with these issues as of now.


    Nian Junting interrupted her, Even when that dayes and we have to seriously consider these issues, leave it to me. Its my job as a man to shoulder these things.


    Luosan was taken aback, he made perfect sense.


    Yeah, what was the use of worrying now?


    Dating someone as narcissistic as him would mean that he would eliminate all opposing voices in the way of their rtionship.


    Im going to thepanyter, Lu Kang will pick you up in the afternoon, Nian Junting said mysteriously.


    Wherere we going?


    Its a secret, he said as he went on to finish his breakfast.

 Chapter 257. You Poured A Glass of Wine on Her Face

    Chapter 257. You Poured A ss of Wine on Her Face


    In the morning, Luosang spent some time alone in the vi watching TV. Before, in this vi, she needed to carefully take care of Nian Junting, but now, she didnt need to that anymore. That feeling was quite strange.


    Half-past eleven, Lu Kang drove to the vi to pick her up. On the road, she asked him about Yan Sus contract.


    She sighed the contract yesterday. Lu Kang smiled and said, When Mr. Shen saw her, he wondered why he didnt know that there was such a capable and beautiful girl in Ximei. He also said that Yan Sus beauty is natural and wless, and that making her a star will be much easier than making Ye Chuen a star. After all, shes prettier and more professional than Ye Chuen.


    Yeah. Even I was shocked by Yan Sus voice and appearance when I first met her, Luosang nodded and said. Then, she nced at Lu Kang and continued, Sadly, she already has a boyfriend.


    Lu Kang dropped his eyelids and responded with, Doesnt matter. Shell be a popr singer sooner orter, while Im just an assistant. Shes too good for me.


    Dont say that Mr. Lu. Youre a capable one among your peers, Luosang quickly changed the topic as she felt a little sorry for Lu Kang. This isnt the way to Shengting. Where are we going?


    Well Youll find out soon. Lu Kang didnt give an answer. Forty minutester, when she arrived at the Great Ocean International Hotel, she froze. She had some awful memories about this ce that she didnt want to recall. In this ce, she was embarrassed and humiliated.


    Mr. Lu she said.


    Get out of the car. Lu Kang came out of the car and opened the door for her.


    Luosang stayed silent for a moment, then lowered her head and walked out.


    Lu Kang guided her upstairs by the elevator. When he stopped before the door of the familiar presidents box, Luosang figured it out.


    Get in. Lu Kang pushed the door open and walked in.


    In the presidents box, Nian Junting and Xiao Si were sitting on the couch. A rich meal was served on the round table.


    As she came in, Nian Junting gave a faint smile, waved his hands, and said, Come here.


    Luosang slowly walked to him with confusion.


    Once she got close to him, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her into his chest.


    Junting, what are you doing? While asking the question, she turned to Xiao Si. After all, he knew everything that had happened to her in this ce.


    Xiao Si smiled embarrassedly.


    Mr. Nian, its really a surprise that you called us for lunch.


    A group of people walked in from the door. The ones at the front were Zhou Yanfeng and his girlfriend, Yuan Xiaoshu. The one that followed them was Kashiwa.


    Seeing Luosang, who was sitting inside Nian Juntings arms, all three of them paused slightly.


    Mr. Nian Zhou Yanfeng pointed at Luosang and said, Why are you with this woman? Xiao Si, didnt you tell him that she


    Shes my girlfriend, Nian Junting said ndly.


    Zhou Yanfeng froze, Yuan Xiaoshu covered her mouth in shock, and Kashiwas face turned extremely dark.


    Mr. Nian, this isnt a decent woman. Realizing what he had just heard, Zhou Yanfeng hurriedly said, She tried to hook up with Xiao Si and Yi Jingxi


    She never tried to hook up with anyone. And she has never been with Xiao Si.


    Nian Junting suddenly clenched Luosangs hand and said, That day, right here, do you remember how you humiliated her? You, poured a ss of wine on her face.


    Zhou Yanfengs face instantly darkened. He finally understood that this meal was never meant to be friendly. But still, he wasnt willing to give up.


    Xiao Si, didnt you tell Mr. Nian? She seduced Yi Jingxi

 Chapter 258. She was trying hard to recall if she bullied Luo Sang

    Chapter 258. She was trying hard to recall if she bullied Luo Sang


    She never tried to seduce anyone, neither was she with Xiao Si.


    Xiao Si, you didnt tell Master Nian? She tried to seduce Yi Jingxi


    Xiao Si stood up and said apologetically, Yanfeng, we fell into Yi Jingxis trap that day. He thought I was dating Luo sang and called me over on purpose. He was trying to create misunderstandings between Luo sang and I because of his own intentions. He couldnt win her favour so he resorted to such dirty moves.


    Zhou Yanfeng was dazed for a short while before cursing, F*ck! He red at Kashiwa and said, Did you know about this already?


    Kashiwa stuttered nervously, I wasnt exactly sure


    Motherf*cker, you are the closest to Yi Jingxi here.


    Zhou Yanfeng grabbed his by his cor and growled, I dont even know him well, and you were ourmon friend. Werent you his ssmate?


    Isnt your girlfriend signed under the Yi? Youve went out a couple of times with him, havent you? How can you say that you dont know him well?


    Master Nian, I cant possibly know everything about him even if I am his ssmate.


    Even if you dont know everything, you should know something at the least.


    Nian Junting ced Luo Sangs hand in his palm and started ying with her fingers, Last year December, when you introduced Yi Jingxi to Xiao Si when he wanted to open a film and media base, you were still helping him look for a woman called Xu Luosang at Xia City.


    Kashiwa shivered, She is Xu Luosan? If she is truly Xu Luosan, then you should know about her background, Master Nian.


    I know about everything.


    Nian Junting stood up abruptly. He kicked and toppled the chair in front of them, the icy look on his face scared Luo Sang.


    She realised thatpared to all the tantrums and fits he used to throw at her, this was much worse and fiercer.


    Xiao Si looked at Kashiwa sympathetically.


    Even if no one else knew what Nian Junting was feeling, Xiao Si had a brief inkling of his thoughts as his close brother.


    After hearing about Luo Sangs past engagement with Yi Jingxi, he was fuming mad, but no matter how angry he was, he couldnt take out his anger on Luo Sang.


    Because he was aware that Luo Sang was a victim, he couldnt bear to hurt her further. Nian Junting was taking out his anger on Kashiwa.


    Master Nian, I didnt manage to find her then, Kashiwas face was as pale as a sheet, although he wasnt close to Nian Junting, he had heard about his military special forces background.


    A few years ago when he hung out with Ji Chuan at the bar, Nian Junting had vanquished over ten secret societies on his own.


    Even if Zhou Yanfeng teamed up with him, they still wouldnt be able to beat Nian Junting at a fight.


    No one would even dare toy a finger on him given his prestigious status.


    You are right, you didnt find her then. What were you guys going to do with her if you did?


    Nian Junting stalked towards him, Kashiwa, your family runs a down to earth business, how did you end up meeting someone like Yi Jingxi?


    Kashiwa stuttered and asked boldly, What kind of person is Yi Jingxi, may I ask?


    He relies on women to get to ces, he is a scum who bleeds them dry and then betrays them mercilessly, Nian Junting was getting more livid, he kicked Kashiwas knee forcefully.


    Kashiwa let out a howl and knelt to the ground in pain.


    Zhou Yanfeng was breaking out in cold sweat as he listened to the conversation. Yuan Xiaoshu was grabbing his elbow tightly, in fear. She was trying hard to recall if she bullied Luo Sang.

 Chapter 259. Did Yi Jingxi See Me with Nian Junting by the Seaside?

    Chapter 259. Did Yi Jingxi See Me with Nian Junting by the Seaside?


    Kashiwa, be honest with me. Did Yi Jingxi ask you to host the mahjong party that day? asked Xiao Si.


    Yeah. Kashiwa gave a bitter smile.


    I didnt know for sure at that time. Butter on, I found something was not quite right. Earlier, Yi Jingxi suddenly sent me a picture of a limited edition Bugatti Veyron, and asked me whose car it is. I told him that it was Mr. Nians car, but no one saw Mr. Nian driving it, and that its you whos been driving the car. So, I guess Yi Jingxi thought thateh Ms. Xu was dating Xiao Si.


    Luosang now understood what happened.


    Did Yi Jingxi see me when Nian Junting came to the seaside to pick me up?


    Why didnt you tell me earlier? You almost killed me. Zhou Yanfeng red at Kashiwa.


    Mr. Nian, that day, I thought Ms. Xu was cheating on Xiao Si. Xiao Si is like a brother of mine, so I was angry, and thats why I poured the wine he added.


    Thats true. Xiao Si was pretty close to both of them, so he said, To be honest, he was fooled by Yi Jingxi.


    Yeah. Ill never talk to Yi Jingxi again. Zhou Yanfeng hurriedly continued, That kind of sneaky people will get us killed sooner orter. Ms. Xu, what happened that day was totally my fault, please forgive me.


    Luosang looked at Nian Junting. In fact, the one who hurt her the most that day was Yi Jingxi. Zhou Yanfeng only embarrassed her.


    Remember what you said, Nian Junting nodded, then turned and pointed at the row of sses on the table which were filled with wine, However, you poured a ss of wine on my womans face. If I let it go just like this, people willugh at my woman. I wont give you any difficulty. Pour half of this ss on your face, and your woman must pour the rest on hers. While doing that, you need to say that youre nasty.


    Yuan Xiaosu nearly copsed. She put on a delicate makeup on purpose today. Mr. Nian, she said, I didnt say anything bad about Ms. Xu!


    Ms. Xu, she turned to Luosang and said, Please help me, Im really innocent.


    Your mistake is that you sighed a contract with Yi Jingxispany, Nian Junting slightly narrowed his eyes, gave a cold smile and said, One more word, Ill pour buckets over you.


    Alright, alright, well do it. Zhou Yanfeng angrily nced at Yuan Xiaoshu.


    After that, Yuan Xiaoshu reluctantly picked up a ss of wine and poured it on her own face, and Zhou Yanfeng did the same. While showering themselves with wine, they said, Im nasty Im nasty


    Watching this, Luosangs mouth corners twitched slightly. She still felt quite angry when thinking of Zhou Yanfengs rich-people-arrogance, so now, she was rather delighted.


    Showering in wine, Yuan Xiaoshus face became colorful.


    That day, Yuan Xiaoshu didnt say any bad words about Luosang, but she enjoyed the show.


    Nian Junting nced at Yuan Xiaoshu, then said to Zhou Yanfeng with dislike, I havent seen you in a while. Xiao Si told me you were dating an inte star, but today I found that youre actually dating a palette.


    Hearing that, the poor Zhou Yanfeng suffered an even deeper harm.


    Yuan Xiaoshu even wanted to cry.


    Kashiwa, Ill ask you one question. Nian Junting turned to Kashiwa and said, Will you talk to Yi Jingxi again?


    Mr. Nian, Ive known him since high school


    Alright. Off you go. I wont do anything to you today, but dont let me see you again. But Xiao Si, Zhou YanfengI dont want to see you with Yi Jingxi again, said Nian Junting ndly.

 Chapter 260. Tell me truthfully, you havent forgotten Yi Jingxi, have you?

    Chapter 260. Tell me truthfully, you haven''t forgotten Yi Jingxi, have you?


    Zhou Yanfeng heaved a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling fortunate that he had poured that ss of wine upon himself. Had he not done so, the consequences would have been more severe. In Xia City, once Nian Junting gave the order to cut ties with you, it would be impossible to survive. As long as one did not get on his bad side, he would still take care of you like a brother. He wasnt a bad guy.


    Kashiwas face was ashen grey, his lips trembled as heughed bitterly, Master Nian, Yi Jingxi has helped me many times before, I cannot possibly betray a friend like him. He has reasons for his actions. I heard that he is only doing this to the Xu family to give them a taste of their own medicine.


    Whats that mean? Luo Sang inquired.


    Im not too sure.


    Kashiwa exined, But I think your father was involved in the death of Yi Jingxis father.


    Bullshit, my father is an honorable man, Luo Sang clenched her fists in anger.


    Would a parent tell his children about everything hes done? A parent would always want to maintain a perfect image, Kashiwa sighed.


    Luo Sang was lost for words.


    For a split second, she started to doubt her father, but she immediately erased the doubts from her mind. Other people could doubt her father, but she could not as a daughter.


    It was just that she did not even know the truth the day her father was arrested. It looked like she had to make a trip back to the prison to ask him some questions.


    In that case it was all part of the n from the start when Yi Jingxi got close to me? Luo Sang asked softly.


    Mm it seems to be that way, Kashiwa said as tactfully as he could.


    Luo Sang was dazed. Although it was in the past, he had still been her first love, the first person she had ever liked so much. It had been all an act, put up by someone she had once loved dearly, she was the only one who didnt know that she had been part of the show.


    But I think he did eventually grow to like you too, he was just too consumed by vengeance


    Shut up, Nian Junting stopped him, Get lost.


    Alright, Master Nian, rest assured, I will never interfere in matters regarding Yi Jingxi again, Kashiwa pulled himself to his feet with a gaze like that of a wolf, before limping away.


    In the private room, Zhou Yanfeng and the others saw that Nian Junting was in a bad mood and did not dare to make too much noise. They cursed at Kashiwa silently in their hearts for bringing up the matter of Yi Jingxi falling for Luo Sang, he should have known that it was Nian Juntings peeve.


    Master Nian, its suddenlye to mind that I have some things to settle at work, Ill Ill make a move first, Zhou Yanfeng lifted Yuan Xiaoshu to her feet, and they began to leave.


    Hey, wait for me, I have some things to discuss with you, Xiao Si followed closely behind him.


    Suddenly, the private room fell quiet. Only two of them remained.


    Why did you do that? You scared everyone away, Luo Sang mustered what energy she could and shot him a ming nce. She sat down, saying, How fragrant, this dish looks really tasty.


    Nian Junting did not move a muscle, he just stared at her coldly.


    Luo Sang felt the hairs on her skin rise. She picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks and brought it to his mouth.


    Im not eating, Nian Junting lowered his gaze, ring at her. Luo Sang, tell me truthfully, you havent forgotten Yi Jingxi, have you?


    Of course not, he is my nemesis.


    I dont mean it that way. Im asking if you still like him. For some reason, ever since he found out that she was engaged to Yi Jingxi before, there had been a gnawing feeling deep in a corner of his chest.


    He always thought that he was the first man she loved.


    Not so, apparently.


    He wanted to grab hold of the man she had once loved and beat him up after cutting his hands off.


    Who was Yi Jingxi topare with him?

 Chapter 261. Looking at the Grumpy Nian Junting, Luosang Laughed so Hard

    Chapter 261. Looking at the Grumpy Nian Junting, Luosang Laughed so Hard


    I dont like him anymore, she said.


    Then why did you look sad when Kashiwa said that Yi Jingxi had a scheme in mind when he got close to you? Nian Junting asked impatiently.


    I Of course, I felt sad, once she said that, she found the angry look in his eyes got worse than before. So she hurriedly exined, After all, I used to love him. I dont like him anymore, but I have given him my love before. Now, I learned that I have fallen into a trap. I just feel that I was so stupid.


    You dont need to tell me that. I already know that youre stupid. Nian Juntings pupils shrank as he said through clenched teeth, But what did you say just now? You loved him? Ive never hear you say that you love me. Do you mean you used to love him more than you do me now?


    Like I said, thats in the past. Luosangs speechlessly found that Nian Junting was even more envious than she thought he was.


    I dont care. You never said that you have ever liked or loved me. Nian Junting was so angry that he growled. But you said that you used to love him right in front of me. What should you do?


    Yeah, what should I do? Luosang blinked, eyes filled with curiosity.


    Nian Junting looked at her grumpily, finding that she didnt only have poor taste, but was quite silly. Ill forgive you if you tell me that you love me very much every single day.


    If she didnt mention Yi Jingxi, a simple I like you would do, but now, it must be I love you very much.


    What if I refuse? she asked.


    Then think about the consequences, he threatened her.


    So scary! Looking at the grumpy Nian Junting, Luosang felt likeughing.


    He was so cute, even when he was jealous of someone.


    I tried. Luosang stopped herself fromughing out loud and said, But I cant think of any consequences.


    She made fun of him because she wanted to punish him for getting into her bed sneakily and ming her for thatst night.


    Nian Juntings face darkened immediately. He stared at her silently for a while, then turned and walked away.


    Alright, alright, dont be angry. I love you, I love you the most. Luosang hurriedly hugged him from behind and pressed her face against his back.


    Nian Junting turned around and pushed her away. His look remained icy cold as he said, Why do I feel that you dont mean it? Its not sacred and solemn at all.


    Sacred and solemn? Do you think this is a church wedding?


    Speechlessly, she seriously looked at him in the eyes. Thinking of the three words, she suddenly blushed. Just now, he had his back to her, so she didnt feel shy, but now, as he was staring at her, she felt different.


    Its not fair. You never said that you liked me or loved me either, she said.


    There is no fairness in the world. You have me, whos perfect, so you should cherish what you have, he said. And not only do you have to say that you love me every day, but you must also kiss me once a day.


    Luosang rolled her eyes. Shouldnt he hold her and say that he loved her right now?


    Never mind. Ill take what you said just now. However, you havent kissed me. Now, he ordered proudly.


    Luosang was extremely speechless. However, as he had taught Zhou Yanfeng and Yuan Xiaoshu a lesson for her today, she didnt n to argue with him.


    She stood on her tip toes to kiss him. She was only going to peck his lips, but he pressed a hand against the back of her head and quickly turned it into a deep kiss. However, he was rather gentle this time, probably because he still remembered how she passed out during kissing thest time.

 Chapter 262. Luoluo was worried that I was unhappy and decided to feed me

    Chapter 262. Luoluo was worried that I was unhappy and decided to feed me


    Luo Sang was not used to this. Previously, their kisses had all been in flurries of passion, this once however, it was as gentle as a drizzle.


    Every breath, every moment of entwinement was refined and distinct.


    Not wanting their kiss tost too long, their lips parted.


    Nian Junting looked down at the moist lips he had just kissed. Exceedingly satisfied, he carried her and ced her down on her chair.


    Alright, you put on a good show, lets eat. Right, didnt you want to feed me just now? You can continue.


    Luo Sang, .


    You wish.


    Luo Sang picked up the piece of beef and brought it to his lips again. Just as he opened his mouth, she yanked her chopsticks away and gobbled up the piece of beef.


    If you try this again


    Nian Junting scowled momentarily. Without hesitation, he leaped across to nt his lips firmly on Luo Sangs and wrestled the morsel of food away from her mouth.


    Luo Sang was stunned, only when the piece of beef had been wrestled away, did shee to her senses. She felt her face turn red and said, Youre disgusting.


    What disgusting? Its not like you havent had my saliva before.


    Nian Juntings lips curled, Lets see if you dare try that again.


    Youre good, Luo Sang admitted defeat.


    Feed me, Nian Junting demanded.


    Its not like you dont have hands.


    I do, but my psyche was hurt earlier, if you dont feed me, Ill just have to resort to the technique I used just now, Nian Junting said excitedly.


    Luo Sang clenched her teeth. She knew he was not lying, so she started feeding him while eating at the same time.


    Momentarily, she protested, Do you think its worth it? To be envious of someone like Yi Jingxi? Furthermore, youre always full of confidence, whats with you today?


    Yes, I never thought Id be envious of someone else in my whole life.


    Nian Junting thought over this carefully before answering, I guess you changed my outlook when I found out that you had fallen in love with a scumbag like Yi Jingxi before.


    Haha, Luo Sang did not feel too good. How did I change your outlook?


    With such poor taste, you basically rankst amongst all women, Nian Junting stated nonchntly.


    What a waste of your pretty face. Women like you dont think like normal women, I wouldnt be surprised if you developed feelings for someone of a lesser calibre than me.


    Luo Sang nodded, the whole point was that her taste was too poor for a normal person to describe.


    Forget it. She decided not to ask any further and continued eating in silence.


    Five minutester, footsteps were heard approaching the door.


    They thought it was a waiter, but turning around, they realized that it was Xiao Si, who had returned after all.


    Yo I was worried Sangsang would be bullied by Tingting, so I decided toe back. Looks like my worries were unfounded, you guys are feeding each other, a curious smile crept across his pale face.


    Nian Junting threw him a look of disdain, Luoluo was worried that I was unhappy and decided to feed me, I told her that there was no need but she insisted.


    Luo Sang, .


    What did he say? She must have gone deaf and heard him wrongly.


    I see, since you both are not quarreling, Ill have some food before I leave, after all the dishes look really good.


    Xiao Si sauntered over to an empty seat. Just as he sat down, he felt the cold re of his good friend from across the table.


    You dont have to be like that, if not for me, your Luoluo would long have been tortured gruesomely by Yi Jingxi already. Also, it was because of me that you found out that she was being bullied.


    Indeed, I must thank Xiao Si properly.


    Luo Sang stood up and served Xiao Si a bowl of rice, I owe you my thanks for your help with the web series previously.

 Chapter 263. Is Ji Nuanyi A Man or A Woman?

    Chapter 263. Is Ji Nuanyi A Man or A Woman?


    Dont overthink it. He did that because of me. You should thank me, said Nian Junting ndly. And Xiao Si, the goal of ourpany this year will be focused on the TV and film industry. Ill destroy Yi Jingxi. Last time, I told you to purchase a filmpany. Hows it going?


    Em, Im targeting Yu Xi Film. Thatpany has a good producing group, and has produced quite some high-rating films and TV series. Last year they invested over a billion on a TV series, but because of the changes of the policy, and some negative news regarding the leading female actress, the series hasnt aired yet. Due to that reason, thepany suffered heavy losses. However, manypanies now have their eyes on Yu Xi Film, and one of them is Xiao Si paused briefly, ncing at Lousang before continuing,  is the Yi Group.


    Lousang frowned, saying, I know Yu Xi Film. I used to do voice-acting for Ji Nuanyi from thatpany.


    Yeah. Before, Ji Nuanyi was just a B-list actress, but these days, Yu Xi has made her a star. Xiao Si paused again and said, I heard that she has some issues with Zhong Yi. Their fans often attack eachother online. Yu Xi has a few popr actors and actresses. If they werent in debt, they would never be like this. Many people want to purchase theirpany, and the Yi Group is our biggestpetitor.


    Yi Jingxi is really ambitious, Nian Junting sneered, But I wont let him get what he wants. From this day on, collect all the information about Yu Xi. We will buy it.


    I think I can help, said Luosang abruptly. Ji Nuanyi and I are actually friends.


    Nian Juntings face instantly darkened as he asked, Is Ji Nuanyi a man or a woman?


    Luosang was speechless.


    Didnt you hear me say that she was an actress? asked Xiao Si.


    Hearing that, Nian Juntings expression lightened up, and he said, Yeah? Im not interested in actresses, so I didnt listen carefully.


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said, You should know that shes a girl judging by her name.


    Who knows, said Nian Junting. Nowadays some men have girly names too. Snorting ndly, he added, And they look like neither a woman or a man. I mean Yi Jingxi.


    Xiao Si rubbed his forehead. Nian Junting just wouldnt miss any chance to depreciate Yi Jingxi.


    I havent talked to Ji Nuanyi in two years, so I dont know if she has changed or not, said Lousang. When she was an unknown actress, she was cheerful and optimistic. She was the nicest actress Ive ever met. She was nice and caring to everyone. After my Dad went to prison, I couldnt find a job. But she reached out to me and invited me to do voice-acting for her new series. Sadly, her manager andpany strongly disagreed, because they didnt want to go against Yi Jingxi. I didnt want to put her in a difficult position either, so I refused her kindness.


    You dont find a lot of people like that in the film and television circle. Xiao Si nodded and said, Now, Ji Nuanyi is the most popr actress in Yu Xi, so I guess her words mean something to thepany now. With her help, well get twice the result with half the effort. But we dont know if shes still a nice person. After all, the circle can change people a lot.


    We can try. Let me meet her. Luosang nced at Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting frowned, thought for a few seconds, then asked, Does Ji Nuanyi have a boyfriend?

 Chapter 264. Now, not only do I have to be wary of women, I also have to be wary of men

    Chapter 264. Now, not only do I have to be wary of women, I also have to be wary of men


    Xiao Si and Luo Sang were both startled. They shook their heads, No, there was periods of gossip, but they were baseless rumors, nothing more.


    She isnt gay, is she? Nian Junting asked pointedly, So many women are gay nowadays.


    Luo Sang wanted to break down, No, shes definitely not.


    You arent familiar with her, why do you sound so sure? Nian Junting said as he fiddled with the chopsticks in his hand.


    Luo Sang was tired. Xiao Si rolled his eyes, Youre paranoid over both men and women, arent you tired? Even if you arent, I feel tired for Luo Sang.


    It was you who told me that many women are gay now, there was already an imbnce between the two genders. Now, not only do I have to be wary of women, I also have to be wary of men, its tiring.


    Nian Junting looked at Xiao Si, Didnt you once say so?


    Xiao Si nodded relentingly, Yes, you didnt miss a word.


    If Ji Nuanyi isnt a lesbian, well find a time for you to meet with her. If she isnt willing to help, it doesnt matter. Anyways, Ive never failed to aplish what I want to do.


    Nian Junting had a solemn expression, When we eventually ruin Yi Jingxi, you have to reward me, and the reward is dedicating yourself in entirety to me.


    Pu Xiao Si was sipping water when he heard this, and now he had spat it all out.


    Luo Sangs face turned red-hot. She wanted to bury herself in the ground right there and then.


    Alright, I know youre embarrassed, after all theres a third-wheel in here.


    Nian Junting stroked her head gently, You can do it, after all Xiaosi only pushed Zhongyi into the pool, and you were already kissing and feeding him.


    Lets lets eat, Luo Sang picked up a piece of cod to stuff his mouth shut.


    Xiao Si looked at the two of them and felt how excessive his presence was. Somehow, however, there was some joy in being their third-wheel.


    After eating, Nian Junting arranged for Lu Kang to send Luo Sang back to the vi, before heading back to the office with Xiao Si.


    On the way, he received a call from Nian Xi.


    Brother, the boss of the eventspany which set up the stage dered that it was an act of negligence on their part, they insist that no one had told them to say so, and theyre willing to pay three million dors inpensation.


    Nian Juntingughed coldly, Three million, are you dismissing me as a beggar? furthermore, how is it possible for such a smallpany toe up with three million dors willingly? I dont believe that theres someone behind this.


    Nian Xi sighed, They admitted that youre not of ordinary status and that they cannot possibly win in court against you, so they would rather concede defeat. However, they do not have five million dors currently, three million is all they can offer. Theres one more thing, my superiors have told me to close the case. Grandfather pulled some strings.


    Looks like my hunch was right. Alright, close the case, I have ten thousand ways to make things square with Ye Chuen, Nian Junting said before hanging up.


    Was it really Ye Chuen?


    Xiao Si fumed, That girl was a pretty thing too, how did she turn so vicious? The two of them were even suitemates and good friends.


    Pretty thing? Nian Junting shot him a look. Your taste is not too good.


    Xiao Si was silent for a while. Soon he could not help but ask, How will you settle make things square?


    I have ten thousand ways, but I already know which one is best, Nian Junting said coldly, fiddling with his handphone.

 Chapter 265. If You Want Grandchildren, Youll Have to Accept Her.

    Chapter 265. If You Want Grandchildren, You''ll Have to ept Her.


    Not long after Nian Junting returned to his office, he got a call from Murong Cheng.


    What is this about? he asked.


    What do you think? Hearing his words, Murong Cheng felt so annoyed. Nian Junting was her son, but he had always been so different from her. The older he got, the harder she could control him.


    Your grand-aunt called me crying on the phone. She told me that you dont respect her family. Shes my aunt after all. Are you aware of that youve put me in a difficult and embarrassing situation?


    They didnt admit to what Ye Chuen did. But since theyve talked to Grandpa, I assume you know that already, said Nian Junting ndly. When I was a child, didnt you tell me that we couldnt take advantage of our wealth to bully others? Ive always been a self-disciplined personwhat did they do?


    Murong Cheng didnt know how to respond. A whileter, she said, There are always some rtives who are not decent enough. But you cant treat them like that. Your Grandma is not young anymore, and your grandaunt is her only sister. Dont make her angry. Alright, I know your grandpa wants this to stop, but you might not be willing to drop it. Listen to me; this ends here. Three-million yuan will be enough topensate that girl. I heard shes not


    Shell never be short of money since she has met me, Nian Junting interrupted her.


    Once again, Murong Cheng didnt know what to say. Enough. Ive heard of her background. She can be your girlfriend, but marrying a person with that kind of family background will get you into trouble.


    If you want grandchildren, youll have to ept her, he said.


    Murong Cheng was puzzled at first, then asked, What do you mean?


    Because my body only reacts to her, said Nian Junting in a proud tone.


    Havent you recovered long ago? Didnt your body react to Luosang earlier? said Murong Cheng.


    Yeah, my girlfriend is Luosang. Nian Junting smiled and said, I ran into her recently and learned that shes only twenty-two. Earlier, she worked for me to earn money for college. We cant say that shes a bad person because of what her father did. And you cant stop me, or youll never have grandchildren.


    You didnt even touch another woman during the past half of the year, did you? Murong Cheng pointed out the truth.


    You know Im a clean freak, Nian Junting said with a deep voice. I finally met someone that I like. The others can try to stop me, but not you.


    Murong Cheng fell in silence.


    Come and meet Luosang when you have time. I dont want to deal with any cliche mother-and-daughter-inw problems. After saying that, Nian Junting ended the call.


    Back in the vi, Luosang was trimming vegetables and chatting with Sister Lan.


    You havent recovered yet. Who asked you to do the chores? Nian Junting unhappily carried her onto the couch.


    Im bored here, so I wanted to find something to do, said Luosang. Dont hold me like that. You made me dizzy.


    You held mest night. Im just paying you back. Nian Junting gave a faint smile.


    Luosang wore a dark face, saying, When did I hold you? Im warning you, youre not allowed toe into my room tonight. If you do it again, Ill go back to my dorm.


    Nian Junting opened his mouth to say something, but she didnt let him. Dont tell me that I havent recovered yet and that I need someone to look after me, she said. Im almostpletely healed. Ive made my decision, so whatever you say, I wont change my mind.

 Chapter 266. Brother Junting, Im your sister after all

    Chapter 266. Brother Junting, I''m your sister after all


    Alright, Seeing the situation at hand, Nian Junting could only furrow his eyebrows and change the topic, Regarding the stage copse, weve reached a conclusion, they will pay apensation of three million dors.


    Three million? Luo Sang was stunned, Am I dreaming? I get three million just for falling into water? This fortune hase too easily!


    Nian Junting wore a solemn expression, noticing for the first time that she was so money-minded, Is it worth putting your bodily health at risk for three million dors? If you like money, just tell me, I will give you whatever you want, if you give your body to me, Ill give you the entirepany.


    Luo Sang was horrified, her body was too valuable. Mm But the eventspany seems so willing topensate me, it seems too suspicious


    Its highly likely that Ye Chuen was responsible.


    Nian Junting said frankly, My grandfather got his contacts to close the case, Im not in a good position to challenge him. After all he is already so old, I hope you can understand.


    Mm, I understand.


    Luo Sang nodded, she had long guessed as much, after all Chuen was family, it was only because of Nian Junting that she would be getting three million dors. If not for her, it was likely that she would not be able to get anypensation at all, she might even have had met with more dire consequences.


    However, we cant just let things be, Ive thought of a n to deal with Ye Chuen. Come with me tomorrow morning, Ill show you, Nian Junting added.


    Luo Sang wanted tough and cry at the same time, didnt he just say that he did not want to challenge his grandfather? I have a ss tomorrow morning, Ive been postponing it for days, I cannot postpone it any further, but what are you nning to do?


    Im not saying, if I do then itll be pointless, Nian Junting nced at his watch, Its 4.30pm now, we can also do it at night, itll be pretty exciting.


    He stood up to make a phone call.


    Inexplicably, Luo Sang felt a little sympathy for Ye Chuen.


    To be taught a lesson by someone as mysterious as Nian Junting, one would never be able to predict his next course of action.


    After making the call, he told Sister Lan to prepare dinner earlier. At 5.30pm, after they had finished eating, he drove the both of them out.


    He drove straight towards the outskirts of town, towards Mount Yanling.


    Mount Yanling was only recently opened to the public as an attraction for the people in the city. There was water-rafting, a water theme-park, and bungee jumping.


    It waste, and the attractions had been closed. Although there weremps lining the streets, it was still dark.


    What are you nning to do here?


    Were nearly there, Nian Junting drove all the way to the summit.


    At the summit, there was a bridge linking Mount Yanling to the opposite mountain. Nian Junting parked the car, got out and helped Luo Sang to open her door. He then dragged her towards the direction of the bridge.


    At the entrance to the bridge, was Ye Chuen being surrounded by two big burly men. Lu Kang was standing at one side, with sympathy etched in his gaze.


    Sangsang, why did you make Brother Junting bring me here?


    Ye Chuen was desperate, she was returning home in the evening when she was taken away by force by Lu Kang at her own gate. Her handphone was also taken away on the drive here, leaving her with no way of contacting her family.


    She suspected that the crazy Nian Junting was about to throw her off the mountain.


    Luo Sang scowled. Since she knew Ye Chuen had schemed against her, there was no point in ying pretense. I dont know.


    Sangsang, please ask Brother Junting to let me go, I know he is upset that you had an ident at my ce, but it had nothing to do with me, the eventspanys also willing topensate you with three million dors.


    Ye Chuen pleaded pitifully, Brother Junting, Im your sister after all.

 Chapter 267. Its… Its Zhong Yi… Zhong Yi Said That

    Chapter 267. It''s�� It''s Zhong Yi�� Zhong Yi Said That


    Yeah. I know that youre my cousin, so I took you here to experience bungee jumping. Nian Junting dropped Luosangs hand and smilingly walked over to Ye Chuens side, patted her on the shoulder, and said, Rx, I wont make you jump for long. Only ten times. You like getting people down in the water, so I figured youd like bungee jumping too.


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched slightly. She remembered that Ye Chuen didnt even dare ride a rollercoaster, yet he wanted her to bungee jump at night ten times in a row?


    This was really a cruel idea.


    However, she felt a little delighted.


    Ye Chuen kneeled on the ground, crying, Junting, Ive never bungee jumped before. I cant do it, Ill die.


    Her face paled as she grabbed Nian Juntings trousers and said, If anything happened to me, Grandaunt wont forgive you. And I didnt do what you said I did! You cant treat me like this! Luosang and I are good friends!


    Sangsang, she turned to Luosang and continued, Were friends, arent we?


    If youre my friend, why did you try to hurt me? Luosang couldnt stand the fact that Ye Chuen was still pretending, so she said, You asked me to be the emcee of your birthday party because you wanted me to be embarrassed in public, right? Were roommates after all. We dont live together everyday like me and Tang Ning and Yan Su, but we often have meals together and we chat a lot. Why do you have to be such a two-faced person? Is it because Chi Shengxu and I are friends?


    I dont know what youre talking about. I didnt do it, Ye Chuen denied firmly. If she admitted to it, she would suffer even worse tonight.


    Last night, you and your mother visited my Grandpa, said Nian Junting coldly. And this morning, my Grandpa called me and told me he learned of Luosangs true identity. Ive asked everone in the Murong Family. Some people told me that after having a conversation with you, my grandpa has been in a bad mood. I dont want to listen to your exnation anymore. Just tell me who told you about Luosangs real identity. If you do what I say, I might show some mercy.


    What identity? I have no idea. Ye Chuen kept pretending. Does she have another identity?


    Take her to jump. Nian Junting lost his patience.


    Two strong men dragged her toward the bridge.


    Its Zhong Yi! Zhong Yi told me that! Please dont make me jump! Ye Chuens screams echoed through the night sky.


    Toote, said Nian Junting.


    Junting, no! Ye Chuen burst into cries.


    Luosang found her screams terribly annoying, but didnt n to intercede with Nian Junting for her.


    If you want to be mean, you should stay mean. Why did you pretend? Being a friend with me while trying to hurt me? Youre just like Zhong Yi.


    Bungee jumping wouldnt hurt her or kill her; itd only scare her. It waste at night, and the area under the bridge was upied by darkness. Jumping down the bridge would feel like jumping into hell, a bottomless darkness.


    Luosang felt that Nian Junting could really be a cruel venger.


    Jumping during the daytime was still eptable, but at night, it would be horrible, as nothing could be seen.


    On the mountaintop, Ye Chuen lied on the bridge and refused to jump at first. Atst, Lu Kang pushed her down. Her cries and screams echoed.

 Chapter 268. To love is to like deeply

    Chapter 268. To love is to like deeply


    No one would take notice anyway. After all, few were able to keep themselves from screaming while bungee jumping.


    After some time, the screams subsided. Perhaps she was tired of screaming.


    After ten minutes, there was nothing but silence.


    Luo Sang started to feel fearful, she remembered how on the television, she had heard of people being scared to their deaths while bungee jumping.


    Nian Junting however was calm. He returned to the car to retrieve a sk of warm water for Luo Sang, Its cold up here, have some warm water.


    Luo Sang wanted to faint, she was in no mood to drink water now. Will she be in danger?


    Nope. Havent you heard? Scum live long lives. Nian Junting replied nonchntly, Scum like her could probably live on for several decades even if paralyzed.


    Luo Sang, .


    How vicious.


    Mr. Nian, Miss Ye has fainted, Lu Kang walked over, Should we continue?


    Howme, she fainted so quickly, Nian Junting massaged Luo Sangs shoulders, Forget it, theres no point if shes unconscious. Lets call it a day, the winds up here are strong.


    Mm, Luo Sang nced at the unconscious Ye Chuen and thought to herself, if she was the one bungee jumping today, she would have fainted as well, after all asdies, only a few would not be afraid of bungee jumping, not to mention swinging back and forth for so long.


    On the road back to the city, Luo Sang looked at the handsome silhouette of the man focused on driving the car. She could not help but reached out for his elbow, saying gently, Junting, thank you. Ever since my Dad was imprisoned, Ive always suffered in silence and endured, its been long since someone has been so good to me, and its been long since Ive felt as carefree as today.


    Nian Junting turned to nce at her, he thought of what Xiao Si said before, that she had been bullied endlessly in An City. He thought of how she was forced to abandon her home and his heart ached. No matter, from today onwards, you will not need to suffer in silence again. You will do whatever you want to do. With me behind you, Ill deal with any rotten apple in your way. Theres just one thing  do not learn from Ye Chuen, you should only bully those who deserve it.


    What kind of person do you think I am? Luo Sang gave him a peck on his cheeks, saying gently again, Thank you, I really really like you.


    When she first decided to be with him, it was infatuation.


    However, this time after her incident, he found out all about her, but instead of abandoning her and looking down upon her like others would, he still protected her and retaliated against whoever tried to bully her.


    He had used her ways to regain her own dignity.


    Even though he had some ridiculous characteristics of his own and had some weird quirks whichpelled her to give him a good beating, she had slowly and unknowingly be deeply moved by him and had grown to like him even more.


    Nian Juntings hand trembled on the steering wheel, his face turning ever so slightly red. He reached out with his other hand to hold her, No fooling around when Im driving, its not safe. Why do you say you like me? I want to hear you say that you love me.


    He would not ept like, because it was love that she had for Yi Jingxi.


    Havent you heard the saying, to love is to like deeply, Luo Sang withdrew her hand, looked down and fiddled with her fingers, saying shyly.


    Nian Junting froze momentarily, mouthing the words over and over, To love is to like deeply, to love is to like deeply


    As he mouthed the words, he felt fireworks being set off in his heart.


    It was an iparable sweetness, bliss.


    Never had the word like sounded so beautiful, so lovely.

 Chapter 269. Listen, I Like You Too, Very Much

    Chapter 269. Listen, I Like You Too, Very Much


    Luo, listenI like you too. I like you very much, Nian Juntings smile grew wider and wider. Atst, he pressed on the brakes and pulled over.


    It was the first time he had told her his feelings. Luosang was still immersed in his straightforward words. As he suddenly stopped the car, she was startled, so she asked, Whatre you doing?


    Gazing at his dimly glowing eyes, Luosangs heart raced.


    I want a kiss. Nian Junting quickly jumped into action. He pressed his lips against hers and pressed Luosangs upper body into the front seat. He breathed quickly and heavily to express his passion and excitement.


    If he didnt worry about how she might faint again, he would have kissed her like a thunderstorm.


    Their hearts had never been so close to each other.


    Luosang put her arms around him.


    For the very first time, they clearly told each other how they felt.


    Before, Luosang always felt that the extremely narcissistic Nian Junting decided to start a rtionship with her because she had refused him and that it had frustrated him.


    He never said that he liked her, so, she wasnt sure.


    Now, hearing the words escape his mouth, her heart was soft and warm.


    When he kissed her, her entire body was filled with sweetness.


    Nian Junting invaded her mouth, kissing her hard until her wheezes echoed in the car. He was satisfied, but the satisfaction brought him a deeper pain.


    The pain made him kiss her again and again.


    Luosang was melting into his kisses. Her body became a puddle, and her face blushed beautifully.


    Heavy breaths could be heard from the spacious car.


    Nian Juntings hands were freed.


    Thest time, he kissed her impatiently like a young boy, but this time, he was feeling her lips carefully.


    As soon as he started sweating, a car horn was suddenly heard.


    Lu Kang opened his car window, pulled over, and asked, What happened, Mr. Nian? Did the car break down?


    Nian Junting and Luosang paused.


    Immediately, Luosang felt that all her blood had gushed into her head, and that her head was smoky.


    If she could crawl under the car, she would.


    It had just been a short while, yet her bra had dropped to her waist area.


    She couldntin at that moment though, as she worried that Lu Kang might hear her. If that happened, she would feel even more embarrassed.


    No, Im talking with Luosang. You go first, Nian Junting said with a deep and calm voice.


    Alright, Mr. Nian. Dont linger too long on the mountains. Lu Kang started the car and drove away.


    After that, the blushing Luosang hurriedly pushed Nian Junting away.


    She felt lucky as the light in the car was off. Otherwise, she wouldnt know how to face him. More embarrassingly, how should she put her bra back on right in front of him?


    Then, at that moment, the light turned on.


    Why did you turn the light on? asked Luosang shamefully and angrily.


    You need to dress yourself. I want you to be able to see,. Nian Junting didnt mention her bra directly, as he worried that she might feel shy.


    Thank you, really, Luosang said through clenched teeth. She wanted to cry.


    Just put it on. Nian Junting looked at her. Herrge eyes were still misty because of the kissing, and her lips were red; her shirt was halfway unbuttoned, making her look so tempting.


    If you dont know how, I can help you, he said.


    I dont want your help. How could you even mention it? she asked. This was beyond her tolerance. Who allowed you to unbuckle my bra? You did it so quickly. Tell me, how many bras have you unbuckled before?

 Chapter 270. Relationships are a love-hate affair

    Chapter 270. Rtionships are a love-hate affair


    I did not, Nian Juntings lips curled into a grin and reached out to pinch her nose affectionately, Youre jealous, I dont know what to do, you women are always jealous, whats so great about being jealous?


    Luo Sang had little energy to protest. As if he was not a jealous man, he was obviously more jealous than anyone else.


    Dont you know how intelligent I am? To someone like me, unbuttoning a shirt is the simplest of things. Of course, if you dont believe me, I can prove myself by unbuttoning all your clothes in half a minute, Nian Junting said gleefully.


    Enough, Luo Sang sunk into the corner of her seat subconsciously, I believe you, lets go.


    She strongly suspected that there woulde a day she would be driven mad by him.


    She was always deeply moved and touched by him in one moment, and then infuriated to the point of wanting to beat him up in the next.


    No wonder, it is said that rtionships are a love-hate affair.


    They reached the vi at 8.30pm. Then, Nian Junting received a call from Yu Wen.


    Wow, how shameless. How capable of you to not even spare a thought for me as your grandmother, Yu Wen was enraged, What did you do to Chuen, your aunt called over to tell me that she has only been crying and crying since she returned home. Youve scared the wits out of her.


    Grandmother, your words are too harsh, Nian Junting said inly, Tell Aunty for me, I only wanted to bring Chuen for some fun at the theme park, for some bungee jumping to help foster a stronger rtionship between us as rtives. Whats there to cry about?


    Bungee? Yu Wen was shaken with fury, Can bungee scare someone so badly? Furthermore, Chuen has always been timid, you still brought her to do bungee jumping, were you intentionally trying to scare her?


    Firstly, I dont think she is a timid person. Secondly, bungee jumping is a recreational activity, if other women can do it, why cant she as well? Youll have to advice Aunty properly on this, looks like shes been too sheltered all her life. Take a look at Nianxi forparison, with such a prominent status, she still engages in all sorts of activities in the theme park. I took her out for some fun because I think well of her. Additionally, bungee jumping has plenty of benefits for ones health, you can check the inte if you dont believe me. First, it can help one to build courage and willpower, second, it can also raise her heart rate and boost her immunity. If I really wanted to hurt her, would I have made her do some warm-up exercises to prevent her from injuring her joints? You scolded me without even finding out the truth, its unreasonable. I guess the Ye family is more precious to you.


    You youre good. I cant win this argument, Yu Wen could feel her chest throbbing in anger.


    Thats because Im speaking sense, Nian Junting said, Yes, help me let Ye Chuen know, to study hard and be and honest person, if not the next time, Ill bring her sky-diving.


    And you say that youre not threatening anyone


    Youre wrongly using me again, I am just helping the Ye family educate her, look at how outstanding Nian Xi and I are, I hope that Chuen can be just like us, making contributions to our homnd. Alright, Im tired from bungee jumping too, Ill go to bed first, Nian Junting said before he hung up.


    Luo Sang heard the entire conversation sitting beside him, she could imagine how infuriated his grandmother must have been, Its a pity that you didnt be awyer.


    Nian Junting shot her a curious look, Any job would suit a person like me.


    Luo Sang rolled her eyes, but she was tickled.


    Im going to bed, she turned and walked towards her room. At the door, she realized that Nian Junting was following her from behind.


    What are you doing? I already said I dont need your protection tonight, go back to your own room, Luo Sang red at him cautiously.

 Chapter 271. Sleep in Nian Juntings Bedroom

    Chapter 271. Sleep in Nian Junting''s Bedroom


    Luo, I dont think thats appropriate. We just told each other about our feelings, so I think now we should stick together. Nian Junting didnt lower his voice at all. Sister Lan, who was passing by gave him a nce, then covered her mouth and chuckled.


    Who would want to share a room with you? The blushing Luosang med the door.


    Nian Junting rubbed his nose, then turned, and said to Sister Lan in a low voice. Give me the key.


    I dont think so. Sister Lan wasnt sure if she should do what he said.


    What are you thinking? You think Ille in? Nian Junting looked at her with dislike. Sister Lan. Youre old, but you have a dirty mind.


    Young Master, do you have any sense of shame at all? Alright, I have dirty mind. Stay away from that room tonight if you can.


    The grumpy Sister Lan found the key and gave it to him.


    Flipping the key, Nian Junting went upstairs.


    The next day, Luosang woke up to find that she was lying right next to a warm body. What made her even angrier was that Nian Junting had even taken off his top. He was only wearing a pajama pants, and his arm was wrapped tightly around her waist.


    Because of her former experience, Luosang wasnt shocked this time.


    She was just surprised because she wasnt in the guest room downstairs. Instead, she was sleeping in Nian Juntings bedroom.


    She really couldnt stand this. She elbowed Nian Juntings chest hard, sat up, and angrily gave him a kick. However, once her feet touched his body, he grabbed it.


    Let go of me, you sneaky man. Dont tell me that this time I sneaked into your room and climbed into your bed! The angry Luosang puffed her cheeks.


    Nian Junting sat up with sleepy eyes. His bare upper body was muscr, and his perfect abdominal muscles were radiating male hormones.


    Seeing this charming scene, Lusoang felt a little thirsty.


    She didnt know what happened to her recently. She was familiar with his body becausest year, she cleaned it every single day. But recently, every time she saw his body, she would blush and feel shy.


    Her shyness didntst long, because she heard a few words that made her so angry escape the mans sexy, thin lips.


    You just said the truth, he said.


    Nian Junting picked up the pajamas by the bed and slowly put it on. While buttoning it up, he raised his eyelids and his butterfly wing-like eyshes and said, Dont me me this time. You locked your door from the insidest night, so what could I possibly do?


    Luosangs face darkened. This is your vi. You have the key, she said.


    I dont know. I havent seen the key after furnishing. He said carelessly, If you dont want to admit that you came into my bed, you can say that you were sleepwalking.


    Sleepwalking my ass!.


    She rubbed her forehead. She constantly felt dizzy these days, and the bed was veryfortable, so she slept strangely well.


    Whatever, Im going back to school today.


    Angrily, she went downstairs.


    Sister Lan was cleaning the floor. Seeing Luosang and Nian Juntinging downstairs together, she staggered and said, Young Master, Sangsang, you


    Luosang stomped her foot against the floor and said, Sister Lan, does he have the key to my room? Why was I upstairs this morning?


    I said she was sleepwalking, but she didnt believe me, Nian Junting added.


    Seeing the proud and nd face of her Young Master, Sister Lan repeated the word shameless in her head about ten-thousand times.


    How on earth did you be so shameless? And yet, you said that I have dirty mind.

 Chapter 272. So, you are going to compete for Yi Jingxis favour?

    Chapter 272. So, you are going topete for Yi Jingxi''s favour?


    She wouldnt expose her Master for the sake of her livelihood.


    I dont think so, Young Master doesnt have the key, neither do I!


    Nian Junting looked at Sister Lan satisfactorily, he found her extremely capable nowadays.


    He would give her a pay raise, all of them.


    Luo Sang was frustrated and speechless, forget it, Sister Lan was his helper. They were all in cahoots.


    After breakfast, Nian Junting drove Luo Sang to school himself.


    If Yi Jingxi or Zhong Yies looking for trouble, give me a call immediately, he reminded her anxiously, Dont be worried, Ill keep Yi Jingxi busy for another couple of years. Im working on Zhong Yi as well.


    What are you going to do? Luo Sang was full of curiousity.


    Dont you know me, I love to give an eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth, Nian Junting raised his brows and grinned.


    So, you are going topete for Yi Jingxis favour?


    Nian Junting widened his eyes, his words stuck in his throat.


    Luo Sang giggled before nted a peck on his cheek. She got off the car and ran off to ss.


    That little brat, she loved kissing him now.


    At the ssroom, all her ssmates were looking at her curiously the moment she walked in.


    She wasnt surprised, many of them were there that day at the party as well, they must all have heard about the incident.


    Sangsang, why are you already back in school? You should take a few days off to rest, Yuan Zichu said.


    Im ok now, Luo Sang found a seat and sat herself down.


    Yeah, you look alright now. Too bad for the Ye family, there were kind to invite you to the party, you on the other hand, are suing them forpensation. Dont let the fact that youve got a rich boyfriend get to your head, Shui Chang said sarcastically.


    When did I request for the Ye family topensate me? Luo Sang frowned and looked at her coldly, Im suing thepany who built that tform that day.


    How can apany like that have any money, Ye family is the one who settled the bill for them, obviously. They must have felt bad about the incident and didnt want to blow things up bigger, thats why they offered two million dors, Shui Chang smirked, Ive got insider information about the case, youre so vicious, Luo Sang, going after your good friend like that.


    Things were started to make sense, Ye Chuen must have been spreading rum ours about her.


    She should have been left hanging on the bridge.


    Im d you know that my boyfriend is rich and powerful, even the Ye family is intimidated by him. I hope you watch yourself and watch what you say in front of me, I cant guarantee that he wonte after you as well, Luo Sang looked at her nonchntly, she found herself acting more and more like Nian Junting.


    Shui Changs mouth twitched but she eventually walked away sukily.


    After ss, Luo Sang went back to the hostel and Tang Ning was sitting on the bed on the phone. When she saw Luo Sang walk in, she whispered in her phone, Dont worry, itll be alright, something came up, I have to go.


    Youre missing Professor Lis ss? Luo Sang asked casually.


    I went to visit Chuen, she was hospitalizedst night, Tang Ning sat up straight and looked at her with a frown, Luo Sang, dont you think you crossed the line? How could to do that to Chuen, she doesnt even get on the roller-coaster when we go to amusement parks. She was nearly scared to death back there.

 Chapter 273. She Said that Shell Definitely Make Nian Junting Break Up with You

    Chapter 273. She Said that She''ll Definitely Make Nian Junting Break Up with You


    Tang Ning said confidently, I did; I told a few good friends of mine. I didnt cook up stories and spread it around. That is the truth. What happened to you was an ident. Isnt three-million enough? I wish it was me who fell into the water, because that money would save me from years of effort.


    Luosang shook her head. Tang Ning wasnt evil, but sometimes, she talked and did things without thinking. And she loved kissing up to Ye Chuen. Ever since she got close with Ye Chuen, she started to change, and now, she had been brainwashed by Ye Chuen.


    Thankfully, Luosang never saw Tang Ning as a friend. Luosang wouldnt be sad because of it, but she was a little disappointed.


    Dont you know your friends cant keep their mouths shut? You were defaming me, said Luosang.


    If I really want to defame you, Id have told the others that youre the daughter of that president who molested his student. Tang Ning abruptly stood up, her eyes showing distaste. I asked you the question the day you came. You said that you were not Xu Luosang, and we all believed you. Of course, I believe her more,paring your family background with Ye Chuens.


    Luosangs pupils shrank, asking, Did Ye Chuen tell you that?


    Chuen told me to not tell anyone about it. Were roommates after all. But I didnt think you were so mean, said Tang Ning. Do you think you can do whatever you want because Nian Junting is helping you? No matter what, Chuen is still the niece of the chairwoman of Zhong Zhou Group. Earlier, when I visited her, the chairwoman was there too. She said herself that shell definitely make Nian Junting break up with you.


    Luosang now felt that she had really underestimated Ye Chuen.


    Tang Ning. Sometimes, what you heard from others and saw isnt the truth, said Yan Su. She carried a few books, standing at the door. No one knew how long she was there for. Whats really important is your feelings. Luosang has lived together with us for quite long. We share one room, and we spent time together everyday. Wouldnt you know if shes good or evil? Cant you feel it?


    I know, because we spent time together everyday, said Tang Ning. Has she ever shared her resources with us? Did we know when she met her boyfriend? She told us that she wasnt interested in men, yet she became friends with Chi Shengxu and kept it a secret from us. And that night, when she fell into the water, did you see Mr. Yi from the Yi Group risk his own life to save her? Chuen and Zhong Yi are friends. Chuen told me that Luosang worked for Yi Jingxi because she wanted to hook up with him, and she wanted to sign a contract with a filmpany. Shes so scheming that even Mr. Nian is now fooled by her.


    Lousangughed. I didnt know that I was so capable, she said.


    Stop pretending, Tang Ning said, then turned to Yan Su and continued, Youve been close with her recently. You need to know that she moved into our dormter than us. And Ive told you about who her father is. The news hasnt spread yet, but if our schoolmates learned about it, youd be dragged into the trouble too. Shes the daughter of a molester. Back then, the whole country was buzzing with the news. It was in the headlines, and the provincial leaders criticized her father themselves. We should let her move out of the dorm so she wont bring us both trouble.


    Luosang silently turned to Yan Su. She didnt care what the others say, but she cared about Yan Sus feelings.


    Yan Su frowned and said, Tang Ning. Stop it. Many people go to prison everyday for murder, arson, robbery, or other crimes. But are their children automatically all bad people? Thew wont punish a whole family for what one person did.

 Chapter 274. My woman must have at least ten suitcases when she shifts house

    Chapter 274. My woman must have at least ten suitcases when she shifts house


    Dont say anything further. Luo Sang and I have decided to move out together.


    Tang Ning was shocked but she nodded her head, I understand. I heard that Nian Junting is helping you with your career at Chuenspany. You cant afford to offend Luo Sang right now. You stole the lead role of the Christmas musical from Chuen, and now you want to steal all of hers.


    Tang Ning, stop talking about Chuen. You should grow a brain of your own, Yan Su said angrily, Sangsang, lets pack. Ive found an apartment.


    Yeah, Luo Sang felt the warmth of their friendship and started looking for boxes to store her things.


    Tang Ning red at them both before she got up and left the room.


    Luo Sang sighed before looking back at Yan Su; she felt conflicted, Yan Su, arent you afraid that I am going to drag you down?


    Whats there to be afraid of? Yan Su said. She continued sadly, When I was in primary school, I had a good friend whom I yed with often. She wasnt the prettiest and her family wasnt well off, so our ssmates often teased and bullied her. Gradually, they started looking at me funny as well. I was so young and I didnt know better, so I distanced myself from her due to my own vanity and superficial pride. In the end she suffered from clinical depression andmitted suicide. Although she was resuscitated at the hospital, she eventually dropped out of school and left the city.


    Luo Sang was shocked after hearing her story and could hear Yan Sus voice trembling.


    I regretted it, Yan Su continued, She treated me like a good friend but I didnt return her affections. I would never forget the look of disappointment in her eyes when we met for thest time. I told myself from then on, never to treat my good friends that way again. I shall not be swayed by the opinion of the crowd and steady my heart. If only I gave her a bit more concern and care, she wouldnt have been put in danger.


    Yeah, I had considered killing myself before, but I was too spiteful to do it, Luo Sang said empathetically.


    I will not let those people who hurt me live lifefortably, I will not give them the chance to rejoice over my death. Susu, its not that I dont want to tell you, Im just afraid, I hope you can understand. Not all my friends cut off ties with me when it happened then, but the talk and voices of gossip were too loud, a lot of them didnt dare to walk in mypany. One day if you cant stand it anymore, just tell me.


    Dont be so pessimistic, Mr. Nian is around, he wouldnt allow that day toe, Yan Su smiled and patted her shoulder, Come on, lets pack.


    By noon, the two of them had packed everything and they hailed a taxi after ss ended.


    When they were in the taxi, Nian Junting called, What are you doing?


    Im moving.


    Why didnt you tell me? Nian Juntings voice was raised by an octave, You should let me handle these things, even if you are as strong as a bull, you have to allow me an opportunity to prove myself.


    He was shouting over the phone; Yan Su could hear him even though he wasnt on speaker.


    Luo Sang felt the taxi driver look at her in the rearview mirror with a strange look, she blushed and lowered the volume, I dont have much with me, just two suitcases.


    Why do you have so little things, that cant be right. Ill buy some clothes and shoes overter, Nian Junting said grumpily, My woman must have at least ten suitcases when she shifts house.


    Give me the address, Iming over to see if the neighborhood is safe, Nian Juntingmanded.


    Luo Sang sighed and gave him the address.

 Chapter 275. The Bed is Too Small

    Chapter 275. The Bed is Too Small


    The apartment was about a ten-minute drive away from school. It was an elevator apartment with two bedrooms and a living room. It wasnt exquisitely decorated, but it was tidy and cozy.


    This is expensive, isnt it? Lousang liked the apartment, but she still hesitated because of the price.


    Two-thousand yuan per month is expensive indeed. However, I signed a contract with apany already, so Im way richer than before. Also, you have three-million, so we can totally afford this. Yan Su chuckled and said, Finally, we dont need to live in that tiny dorm room anymore.


    Yeah. Luosang looked around, liking the ce more and more. Later, lets buy some food and cook ourselves a nice dinner to celebrate our moving in.


    Sounds nice. Yan Sus eyes glowed. Once she finished talking, the doorbell rang. Hearing that, she winked at Luosang and said, I think its Mr. Nian.


    Luosang opened the door and saw Nian Junting and Lu Kang, both in business suits. She guessed they had just gotten out of work.


    You opened the door so quickly. You didnt even try to see us through the peephole, did you? Nian Junting asked, his handsome face wearing a serious look. It requires a password to enter this building, but as you are two girls, so you need to stay alert. Dont open the door for strangers.


    Luosang nodded. Nian Junting sounded serious, but caring, reminding her of her father. Hearing his words, she wanted to hug him very much.


    Especially you, Nian Junting continued. Yi Jingxi, the pervert, mighte here to find you. He sighed and continued, You living here alone really makes me worry. I think you should just live in the vi with me.


    Im young. I havent finished school yet. I dont want to limit myself by living together with you so early, said Luosang. She knew that Nian Junting would try whatever he could do to make her sleep in the same bed with him, so she didnt dare live in the vi with him.


    How am I limiting you? Im letting you do whatever you want. Nian Junting snorted, then stepped into the apartment and looked around. Its not even as big as my bathroom, but its clean and not too bad.


    Both Luosang and Yan Su didnt know what to say. Lu Kang was speechless as well.


    Nian Junting rested his hands in his pockets, looked around again, then said to Luosang, You take the master bedroom. The second room is too small. If Ie here to live with you, I wouldnt even be able to turn around in that room.


    Luosang blushed; she wanted to hide herself in a hole. She couldnt believe he said that in front of Yan Su and Lu Kang.


    Thats not gonna happen. I wont let you live here, she said.


    Nian Junting frowned, then said, Do you mean youll still go to the vi when you want to live with me? Thats good.


    Thats not good!


    Sighing, Luosang said, Yan Su and I are renting this apartment together, so Ill have ask Yan Su first.


    Yan Su, Luosang will take the master room; are you okay with it? Nian Junting immediately turned to look at Yan Su with a meaningful expression.


    Under his intense gaze, Yan Sus legs softened a little. Of course, she said. Ive been quite busy recently, as I need to go to school and thepany. So its okay for me to take the smaller room.


    You see, she agrees. Nian Junting raised his brows and looked at Luosang.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    You were staring at her with such a dangerous look. What else could she possibly say?


    But the bed is too small. In some particr cases, I might need to stay over here, but this bed isnt big enough for two people to do somerge movements, murmured Nian Junting.


    Hearing that, Lu Kang and Yan Su wanted to deafen themselves.


    Mr. Nian said that in such a direct way.


    Luosang wanted to cry, but failed to shed any tears. She really shouldnt have given Nian Junting the address.

 Chapter 276. Vigorous activities? Arent you being too shameless

    Chapter 276. Vigorous activities? Aren''t you being too shameless


    Lu Kang, go order a bed now, hurry up. Send it over by tonight, Nian Junting instructed, Buy one for Yan Su too, lets change it all.


    Ok, Lu Kang heaved a sigh of relief, he could finally take his leave now.


    Um Im going next door to pack, Yan Su excused herself and carried her luggage to another room.


    After they both left, Luo Sang gritted her teeth and whispered, Can you please not say these sorts of things again in front of other people matters of the bedroom. Vigorous activities? Arent you being too shameless?


    Nian Junting was shocked, I thought I was already being subtle when I said that, I knew you were going to be embarrassed. If I was going to be direct, you would have buried yourself in a hole.


    Luo Sang was taken aback, thank goodness that he was being subtle then.


    Ill help you unpack, Nian Junting opened one of her suitcases.


    Its alright, I can do it myself before she could refuse, her lingerie and underwear had all spilled out. She blushed a deep red and grabbed her things from him, Go unpack another suitcase.


    Luo, your intimates are all too monotonous, theyre all nude, light pink. I think you can try other colors, Nian Junting raised his head, When are you free? Lets go get some together.


    Were still at the end of summer, my all clothes are thin. I must wear lighter colors so it doesnt show underneath my clothes, Luosan was frustrated, Thanks, but no thanks. I dont need you to buy lingerie with me, I will buy them myself if I need to.


    No way, if she let him go to the lingerie shops with her, he would surely embarrass her to no end.


    If you dont want mypany, then Ill just give you a red packet for you to get them yourself. Dont refuse me, its my duty as a man to buy lingerie for my woman. I have too much money anyway, if you dont spend it for me, when will I ever finish spending it? Nian Junting pulled out his phone to send her a red packet.


    Luo Sang heard her phone buzz multiple times and nced at the screen. It was buzzing with notifications of 520, 1314 transactions.


    Thats enough, she reached out to stop him.


    He looked at her and shrugged before keeping his phone.


    He was frustrated at times when his woman refused to spend his money, when would he ever finish spending his fortune.


    Lets go out for dinner tonight, Ill make reservations.


    Its alright, Im nning to cook at home with Yan Su, Luo Sang smiled gently, Weve only just moved, you have to cook in a house to make it warm and homely.


    True, Nian Junting agreed with her, Ill apany you when you go grocery shoppingter, theres not much supplies at home, we can grab everything then.


    Luosan nodded her head, she would never say no to voluntarybor.


    Without taking too much time, she finished unpacking all her things.


    Yan Su refused to go along with them to the supermarket in fear of being a lightbulb. She volunteered to stay behind and clean up the house after handing them a list of household supplies to purchase.


    Lu Kang had drove away and the two of them walked the supermarket shoulder to shoulder. It was a ten-minute walk and they entered the grocer on level two.


    On the way there, Nian Junting called Sister Lan, Im noting back for dinner yup Im at Luo Sangs ce. She just moved and shes insisting on cooking for me.


    When he hung up, Luo Sang said, I dont think I said that I was going to cook for you.


    Its one thing if he insisted on staying for dinner and another if he insisted that she begged him to stay.


    What a shameless guy, she was standing right beside him.

 Chapter 277. He Had A Woman in His Arms, but He Can Only Hug Her and Kiss Her

    Chapter 277. He Had A Woman in His Arms, but He Can Only Hug Her and Kiss Her


    Im just saying the words in your heart. Nian Junting smiled without feeling embarrassed at all.


    After arriving at the destination, Nian Junting pushed the shopping cart while Luosang was choosing food. It was December, so lots of hot pot seasoning was being sold in the supermarket.


    How do you feel about hot pot? I havent had hot pot for long, said Luosang.


    Sure. Youll boil the meat for me, said Nian Junting with interest.


    Shouldnt you boil meat for me? Luosang looked at him and said.


    Seeing her sparkling eyes wearing a slightly displeased look, Nian Junting felt that he could boil meat for her every single day.


    Alright, he said.


    Hearing that, Luosang gave smile. Her boyfriend could be impolite sometimes, so she wouldnt spoil him.


    While Luosang was choosing vegetables carefully and slowly, Nian Junting hugged her and kissed her on the cheeks from time to time. A middle-aged woman passing by turned back to look at them.


    People are watching us, Luosang reminded Nian Junting, feeling shy.


    Theyre just jealous of us. Nian Junting didnt let go of her, instead tightening his arms and saying, Think; if we dont do this now, but wait until their age, people would say that we were not decent, and that what we did was an offense to decency. But now, what were doing means that were in a high-quality rtionship.


    Luosang paused for a second, then felt that his words did make sense.


    Beef ormb; which you prefer? she asked.


    Ill eat whatever you like, he said.


    Luosang nced at his proud face, which was resting on her shoulder, and couldnt help but recall the old, mean Nian Junting. He had really changed a lot after bing her boyfriend.


    After taking everything they needed, they waited in a line to pay. Next to them was a shelf with a box of condoms on it. Luosang turned her face away shyly, but Nian Junting forced her to face the shelf and whispered by her ear, When can we use some of those?


    Luosang blushed. She was afraid that this might happen.


    After we marry each other, she said.


    Youre forcing me to marry you. Nian Junting nced at her knowingly and said, Youre thoughtful.


    Im protecting myself, okay? Luosang red at him and said, If I was not like this, would you like a chance to take my first time?


    So have you decided to give me your first time? Nian Juntings eyes glowed.


    Realizing what she had said, Luosang wanted to bite her own tongue off.


    I mean she tried to exin.


    Dont exin, I get it. Nian Junting pressed his slender fingers against her lips, saying, Ill marry you as soon as I can. I cant wait too long. You see, Im nearly thirty years old. Before, I had no girls around me, but now, I have a girl in my arms every day. However, I can only hug her and kiss her, and Im not even allowed to touch her. If this situation continues, Ill get sick sooner orter.


    The blushing Luosang slightly opened her mouth.


    Are you going to mention Yi Jingxi as an example? Nian Junting interrupted her and said, How can he bepared with me? Hes sexually dysfunctional. He was afraid that you might find out.


    Luosang didnt know what to say, as she wasnt going to mention Yi Jingxi at all.


    You two, can you check out now? People are waiting behind, the cashier, who was a middle-aged woman, said to them sourly.


    Luosang stomped her foot against Nian Juntings, then started checking out. Her face blushed crimson.


    They had shopped for five bagfuls of food.


    After checking out, Luosang reached out a hand to carry some of the bags, but Nian Junting stopped her.


    No. Im here. How could I let you carry things? While speaking, he carried all the bags with two hands.

 Chapter 278. Yi Jingxi could see the two of them holding hands clearly

    Chapter 278. Yi Jingxi could see the two of them holding hands clearly


    Didnt you say that I was as strong as a bull? Luo Sang felt blissful, especially when other people looked at her with envy, she was proud to have a boyfriend like him.


    Youre not born so strong, arent you? Too bad you didnt meet someone as good as me, you had to train yourself to be this strong, Nian Junting picked up the bags and walked forward.


    Luo Sang was taken aback, her gentle spirit was shaken by his casual remark, she felt her heart flutter.


    Nian Junting took a couple of steps before realizing that Luo Sang hadnt caught up with him. He turned around to look at her and caught her staring at him in a daze a meter away.


    Whats wrong?


    Nothing, nothing much, Luo Sang shook her head and walked towards him. She slung her arm around his.


    He hadnt realized that he was spot on with his statement.


    She was never so strong before, she slowly trained and built her strength.


    She lived alone previously and she had no one to rely on. Taking care of patients also required physical strength and stamina.


    I cant walk properly this way, Nian Junting said.


    No, I want to hold you like this, Luo Sang buried her face into his nape.


    Nian Junting looked at her affectionately and he caught her blissful smile and felt a gush of happiness wash over him.


    There was nothing he could do.


    The two of them walked slowly beneath the sunset, the golden sun cast a long shadow behind them.


    None of them saw the ck Maserati creeping behind them.


    Yi Jingxi was sitting in the back, the car windows were not wound down but he could see the two of them holding hands clearly.


    He felt a sharp pain in his chest and a throbbing headache in the back of his eye.


    He questioned himself if he was seeing things right.


    Why was his beloved with someone else?


    There was a time when he walked with Luo Sang in the sunset like this. He was much older than her, and had arranged to bump into her at a business banquet. She was only eighteen years old then, she just started having interest in boys and she was adorable.


    It had been many years from then, she had grown up from a teenage girl to a youngdy. Now, she was beautiful and elegant.


    Someone else was walking with her now.


    How did things turn out this way?


    Didnt she say that her love for him would be unchanging?


    Didnt she say that she would never leave no matter how much he tried to chase her away?


    He clutched his chest as he felt the pain suffocate him.


    When they walked in the supermarket in the past, she liked to put her arm around his arm like that too.


    He always bought lots of foods that she enjoyed.


    What was so great about Nian Junting, wasnt he just a tad richer then him? He wasnt doing so bad himself now.


    Zeng Zhun, tell me all of this is a lie, Yi Jingxi inhaled sharply and said coldly, Shes trying to use him, for his fortune and his status., shes using him to achieve her goals and dreams. You were right, I pushed her too far, so far that she ended up with someone else. Why didnt she juste to me, if she begged me, I would have given her everything.


    Zeng Zhun looked at Luo Sang helplessly, he wanted to tell Yi Jingxi that Nian Junting had it all. He was rich and powerful, good-looking and charming. No wonder girls fell head over heels for him, but Zeng Zhun didnt have the heart to hurt Yi Jingxi, She did beg you, what did you by begging you though? Did you want her to use her body, or kneel to you submissively?


    How could I ask her to do that? I just wanted her by my side, obediently, Yi Jingxi said with a sinister expression.

 Chapter 279. This Time, Hell Taste Jealousy Too

    Chapter 279. This Time, He''ll Taste Jealousy Too


    Zeng Zhun sighed and said, Everyone knows youre with Zhong Yi, so how could she possibly stay around you? Not to mention the fact that her father is still in prison.


    Thats because her family owes me, Yi Jingxi responded, his heart aching.


    Zeng Zhun stayed silent, slowly driving the car.


    Maybe I should do it in a different way. When she believes she doesnt need to make use of Nian Junting anymore, shell leave him, Yi Jingxi murmured to himself with confidence.


    At the gate of themunity, Nian Juntings shoce untied. As he dropped the bags and squatted to tie his shoe, he saw a Maserati out of the corner of his eyes.


    He remembered seeing a car like that when leaving the supermarket.


    Instantly, he figured it out.


    Standing up, he turned his head and kissed Luosang on the lips.


    Why? Luosang didnt know what happened.


    I havent kissed you in ten minutes. After saying that, Nian Junting abruptly gave her a deep kiss.


    Luosang blushed. Seeing that Nian Junting was carrying five bags with both hands, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him back, then said, Alright, its not dark yet. Theres so many people, and Im shy.


    She then walked forward without him, turning back from time to time.


    The evening glow poured on her beautiful face, making her look like a delicate peony.


    Nian Junting silently nced at the Maserati, gave a smile, then quickly caught up with her.


    Last time, Yi Jingxi tried to sow discord between him and Luosang, so this time, Nian Junting decided to let him taste jealousy as well.


    What happened just now was just an appetizer; he would torture Yi Jingxi slowly, like boiling a frog with warm water, until he died.


    In the car, Zeng Zhun noticed the veins bulging out on the backs of Yi Jingxis hands because of how angry he was.


    Do you think Luosang has slept with him? Yi Jingxi asked in a frosty voice.


    Zeng Zhun didnt know how to respond.


    Yi Jingxi shook his head and continued, Thats impossible. She was with me for so long, but never slept with me, let along Nian Junting. Shes so smart, so she definitely knows how to use a man while protecting herself.


    Still, Zeng Zhun didnt respond. He wanted to say that it didnt seem like Luosang was using Nian Junting on purpose.


    In the kitchen, Luosang was washing the dishes while Yan Su prepared the hot pot seasonings. ncing at Nian Junting who was sitting on the couch, peeling potatoes while humming a song, both of them felt rather weird.


    Yan Su quietly moved to Luosang, saying, Are you sure that you and Mr. Nian just went to the supermarket and not a hotel?


    The blushing Luosang gave her a threatening nce and responded with, Where did all this foode from if we didnt go to the supermarket?


    Could supermarket shopping make him so happy? Yan Su blinked.


    Luosang thought for a moment, then felt that she could only try to exin Nian Juntings behaviors in a way ordinary people would never understand. Maybe its because hes never been to a supermarket, but just now, he suddenly found that supermarket shopping is quite interesting, she said.


    Maybe, said Yan Su.


    Twenty minutester, the hot pot and food was ready.


    Once they started eating, Yan Su realized that she really shouldnt be there. At that moment, she sincerely wished that Lu Kang was there too.


    Here, try some beefmb meatbalsl rice noodles. Nian Junting wouldnt stop putting all sorts of food into Luosangs bowl.


    Im good, Im good, she replied. Luosang felt a little embarrassed as Yan Su was there too.


    Didnt you say that I should boil meat for you? Nian Junting frowned and said, You eat like a horse. These are just a drop in the bucket for you.


    Yan Su coughed.


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said to Nian Junting, Just eat.


    Nian Junting moved his bowl slightly toward Luosang and said, Well, if you dont like me putting food in your bowl, you can put some in mine.


    Dont you have hands? Cant you do that yourself? she asked.

 Chapter 280. I dont need to eat the hotpot, Im full from the dog food

    Chapter 280. I don''t need to eat the hotpot, I''m full from the dog food


    The ones you pick are especially tasty.


    After a while, Yan Su coughed, I wont join you guys for steamboat again next time, I dont need to eat the hotpot, Im full from the dog food.


    Dont you have a boyfriend, what are you jealous about? Nian Junting said casually.


    Hes not in Xia City


    Long distance rtionship, I dont really before he could finish, Luo Sang kicked his leg under the table.


    He stopped midsentence.


    They finished eating at around eight oclock and Nian Junting prepared to take his leave as Luo Sang and Yan Su had to prepare for sses the next day.


    Ill walk you down, Luo Sang stood up.


    Its ok, Ill show myself out, its not safe out there at night, Nian Junting reminded her, Dont go out at night, text me if youre hungry, Ill order supper for you.


    Dont exaggerate, Luo Sang was secretly pleased.


    Of course, you are so pretty, Nian Junting was putting on his shoes, Oh right, about your voice acting gig, I went around the industry and talked to the producers, they wont be causing any trouble from now on.


    Really? Luo Sang was happily surprised, I thought you didnt know much about the entertainment industry?


    Temporarily, but I have friends at the Media and Communications Authority, Nian Junting said with a shrug.


    Luo Sang recalled that all the television and film productions had to be approved by the authorities before they could be released, even if Yi Jingxi could control the entertainment industry, he wouldnt be able to do reach into the Media and Communications Authority.


    Of course, the Nian family had been in politics for generations, they must have a wide connection to various government authorities.


    Could a business man ever trump a political figure?


    After Nian Junting left, Yan Su chimed, Mr. Nian must stop, hes being so sweet to you. Im so envious that your boyfriend is by your side.


    You guys wont be in a long-distance rtionship forever, right?


    Luo Sang was curious, even though Yan Su had a boyfriend, she hardly called him. If she hadnt head to him over the long weekend, she would have seriously doubted whether Yan Su even had a boyfriend in the first ce, Seems like you always go over to him, Ive never seen hime over to Ximei.


    Yan Su was shocked, Hes circumstances are special.


    Is he a military man?


    Yan Su shook her head. She hesitated before saying, He is in the music industry, he is the main reason why I want to be a singer.


    Luo Sang was taken aback, If hes in the industry, why didnt he just help you find apany to sign with? Why is he letting you figure things out by yourself, you even had to work in a pub as a backup singer.


    I cant.


    Hes a Korean idol popstar, hispany invested a great deal into packaging his image. You know how strict they are over there, he is bound by contract for six years. Hes not allowed to have a rtionship, even if he did, he must date a popr female star over there. Its reallypetitive, he cant afford to make any mistakes. He only entered the maind market earlier this year and hes extremely busy. Always jet setting around, I can only meet him asionally when he is in a nearby city. I bet you wont believe me, I only seen him twice this year, it a rush every time we meet.


    One time we met, he was performing onstage and I was just an audience member. We mostly text each other, we cant really talk on the phone. Were worried that his manager would find out about us.


    Luo Sang was bbergasted, she didnt know that Yan Sus rtionship was so difficult.

 Chapter 281. Sleepless Lonely Night

    Chapter 281. Sleepless Lonely Night


    I honestly admire you for that. How do you even do that? I wouldnt be able to stand it if I couldnt see him in just a week, and Im not a clingy girlfriend. The point is, youll feel insecure, said Luosang.


    Youre right. I have lots of thoughts too. Sometimes, when I feel hopeless and helpless, I want to give up, but I cant bear to. Yan Su smiled bitterly and said, You have no idea. We were ssmates in junior high. Weve been through so much. We broke up a few times, but over and over again, we fell in love again with each other. After high school, we were separated. He went to Korea to pursue his dream. I didnt even know how I got through the first year after he left. I missed him all day.


    Luosang sighed. Love always made people suffer.


    Did I ever tell you that Jingdezhen is my hometown? asked Yan Su in a deep voice. My grandfather and my father are both sessors of the ceramic arts passed down from the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. My mother is a famousndscape painting artist. My family owns a huge ceramic factory. My parents want me to take over the family business, but I let them down. After graduating from high school, I applied to Ximei College of Communication without letting them know. They were so angry. My parents said that if I insisted on being a singer, theyd disown me.


    Is it worth it? Luosang was surprised to find that Yan Su was actually from an artistic family.


    You insisted on being with Yi Jingxi; was it worth then? Yan Su threw a question back at her.


    Luosang felt into a silence. Back then, she believed that she had to be with him, no matter what had happened. Her families tried to persuade her to give up, but failed. She loved him, and she wouldnt listen to anyone else.


    Luosang wanted to tell Yan Su that she really regretted it. However, she understood that the people in love would always stubbornly insist.


    Alright, there are no more secrets between us now. Yan Su stood up and said, Dont tell anyone about this. I dont want anyone to know.


    Sure, Luosang nodded.


    After leaving themunity, Nian Junting found that the Maserati had gone.


    Lu Kang parked the car by the roadside, opened the door for him, and said, Mr. Nian, Yi Jingxi has left.


    Yes. Nian Junting nodded and said, Send some people here, and tell them to keep an eye in this area. Yi Jingxi doesnt dare go against me in public, but we should stay careful.


    I get it. Lu Kang bent slightly, saying, About Zhong Yi, I found the picture of her and Mr. Lin in the Gu Feng club. Yi Jingxi pulled some strings to keep those pictures secret. However, even though he has dealt with those reporters and stopped this from bing one of the most searched hashtags, we still have reliable friends from the police station. The surveince video is still there.


    Contact reportersrelease it immediately. Let people know that I did it. I doubt anyone would dare try making it disappear from the most searched hashtag list then, said Nian Junting coldly. I didnt pay enough attention earlier. If I knew that Luosang was in the club with Zhong Yi, I wouldnt let Yi Jingxi ckout the news.


    My fault. Back then, I thought that we only need to take care of Mr. Lin and Gu Feng club, said Lu Kang guiltily.


    Get me Yi Jingxis recent schedule. And get me a list of all the films and TV series produced by Yi Group. We cant do anything to the ones that have passed the censorship, but for those that havent passed yet, defer the censorship. The ones that havent started filming shall not pass the censorship either, Nian Junting sneered and continued, He wants to y a game, so lets see who can win.


    No problem, Lu Kang responded.


    Next morning, Luosang woke up on the new bed that Nian Junting bought for her. While brushing her teeth, she checked her WeChat Moments.


    Lonely, sleepless nightCEO Nian, at two oclock in the morning.

 Chapter 282. So you are really my brother, are you ill?

    Chapter 282. So you are really my brother, are you ill?


    The photo attached was a dim tablemp by his bedside.


    Nian Ximented on the post, Brother, are you really my brother? Is your ount hacked, do you need me to report to the police?


    Mr. Nian replied, I thought I blocked you from my friends circle.


    Nian Xi, You must have forgotten to block me, so you are really my brother, are you ill? Should I call 120?


    Mr. Nian, Scram.


    Luo Sang spit out her toothpaste.


    She burst out intoughter and her stomach hurt fromughing so hard.


    The two siblings were hrious.


    Nian Juntings status update was a little too cheesy, it didnt match his cool and suave image.


    She hit reply on her phone: I slept well.


    After a few seconds, Mr. Nian replied: Dont say things that you dont mean. Are you used to sleeping without me?.


    I am, Luo Sang hit reply again.


    Im not used to it though, I miss you.


    Nian Xi: Please, can you please block me from your friends circle. Im in pain eating the dog food!.


    Mr. Nian: Why are you still here?.


    Luo Sang burst out intoughter again.


    What are youughing about? Yan Su had already changed and she was holding her phone, Have you seen the news today? Zhong Yi is in the headlines.


    Whats so strange about that?


    Yan Su chuckled, Its not good news, shes called out by the forum and cortices byizens. The forum mainly reports social news and it is formally associated with the government. The article is being reports everywhere on major social media sites, shes the number one search topic now. Usually her negative reports are suppressed by herpany, but no one is helping her this time.


    What did she do?


    The article stated that Zhong Yi was meeting Mr. Lin on the night that he was arrested at Gu Feng. They even attached photos of the two of them smiling at each other amicably, Yan Su passed her the phone, They even had a meal together afterwards, isnt it strange? Its been so long since the Gu Feng incident, it surfaced again out of nowhere.


    Luo Sang looked at the photo, it was really the same photo at Gu Feng. Luo Sang was standing beside her then but her face was mosaicked.


    I went onto Weibo.


    Yan Su smiled, Someizens said that someone had revealed that Zhong Yi was there at Gu Feng that night after the incident was reported the next morning, but someone had deliberately tried to suppress the news surrounding Zhong Yi. The picture had disappeared on the inte and so the incident wasnt widely reported. This time, Zhong Yi had offended some of Ji Nuanyis fans and they dug up the post again.


    Luo Sang smiled, she tried to make use of Ji Nuanyis fans in the past as well, but it was not effective. They were isted users that didnt stir up much talk, someone else was behind this incident today.


    Yeah, Ji Nuanyi is known to be hardworking. She entered the industry early and had to work as an unknown actress for five years before she gained recognition. Zhong Yi bagged the award that was meant for herst year, thats why all of Ji Nuanyis fan detested her.


    Netizens are specting about why Zhong Yi met Mr. Lin that night. Some say that she was going to sleep with him, other say that she didnt need to do that since she was dating Yi Jingxi. They are specting that she might be pulling strings for Yi Group, all of the artistes under Yi Group are under the heat now. Netizens are trying to figure out who had slept with Mr. Lin before, haha, Yan Su smiled and jostled Luo Sangs elbow.

 Chapter 283. Did Mr. Nian Avenge You?

    Chapter 283. Did Mr. Nian Avenge You?


    Did Mr. Nian avenge you?


    I didnt hear him mention this. Ill call him and ask. Luosang quickly washed her face, then called Nian Junting.


    Did you miss me? His proud and sexy voice was heard.


    What are people are discussing online? I want to know if you did that to Zhong Yi, she said hurriedly.


    Yeah. Nian Junting chuckled and said, Didnt you mention the Gu Feng Club earlier? I asked Lu Kang to do some digging. Yi Jingxi tried to destroy all the evidence, but he failed to destroy it all. After all, this is Xia City. The police kept the surveince video as a record. I pulled some strings and got the video. I wanted to release the pictures of all people who were on the scene that night, but then, I felt that if only your face is covered with mosaics, people might make guesses. So, I only kept the pictures of Zhong Yi and Mr. Lin.


    Luosang was so touched that she didnt even know what to say.


    He went against Zhong Yi and the ones who bullied her without letting her know.


    She thought carefully, then realized that she hadnt really done anything for him.


    Junting, thank you


    Why are you thanking me? Nian Junting wasnt happy with her words, Some people bullied my woman, so I avenged you. Its my responsibility to protect you. If you really wanted to thank me,e to the Christmas show.


    You just said that I didnt need to thank you


    That Please dont give me any difficulty. Luosang gave a bitter smile. He hadnt mentioned the show recently, so she thought that he had forgotten it long ago.


    I knew it. In your heart, Im just not as important as that toy boy, he said.


    Toyboy? Who? Luosang didnt understand.


    The one who put his arms around you, he said.


    Luosang now realized that he was talking about Yuan Zichu. Its not like that. Youre definitely the most important person to me. Hes not even as important as a single strand of hair of yours. I like you the most.


    You do? The man on the other side of the phone immediately sounded happy. Never mind. Ill just tolerate you this time, but only this time.


    Okay, Luosang nearly burst intoughter. She had just found that Mr. Nian was quite easy to deal with. To make him happy, she only needed to sweet talk him as much as possible.


    At Jinding International, Zhong Yi came back with a sad look, saying, Jingxi, you have to help me. This morning at the filming site, I was surrounded by reporters. The security people made a path for me to leave with some real effort. The director said that I cant go to the filming sight for the next few days.


    Yi Jingxi, who was sitting on the couch and talking to Zeng Zhun,, nced at her, his handsome face wearing obvious dislike as he said, Thats all because youre stupid. If you didnt meet Mr. Lin that day, those pictures wouldnt even exist. Now, youve brought the wholepany into trouble.


    Zeng Zhun added silently, We were preparing to sign a contract with Zhao Yan, whos famous because of his costume dramas. But because of what happened this morning, he refused to sign the contract. A talent show jointly organized by ourpany and a TV station has also been postponed indefinitely by the TV station.


    Zhong Yi gave a start, her face paling. It must have something to do with Luosang. She hooked up with Nian Junting, and now shes bringing revenge on us.


    There is no us. Yi Jingxi stood up and said. He really wanted to throw her away, yet now, they were on the same boat.


    Your meeting with Mr. Lin is a fact that we cant deny. Thepany will arrange a press conference for you immediately. You need to make it clear that you didnt know what kind of a person Mr. Lin was.

 Chapter 284. She Wouldnt Be the Most Disappointed One

    Chapter 284. She Wouldn''t Be the Most Disappointed One


    You were tricked by Mr. Lin. He started touching your hands when you went in, so you excused yourself. You didnt stay for long, and you were thrilled that he was arrested.


    But what if they show the CCTV footage? Zhong Yi was scared, though she was more worried that Yi Jingxi would find out that she hadnt brought Luo Sang along when she left.


    Nian Junting wouldnt do that. He purposely blurred out Luo Sangs face. It shows that he didnt want to involve her. In our day and age, its too easy to find someone on social media. Itd be too risky to put her face up as well.


    Yi Jingxis face darkened, as he could tell how protective Nian Junting was over Luo Sang.


    Zhong Yi absolutely detested Luo Sang. She was jealous of her family background back in the day as well. Now that Xu Zhengxuan had fallen, Nian Junting appeared. The Nian family was on another level. She wouldnt allow Luo Sang to marry into that family.


    She nced at Yi Jingxi pitifully. Jingxi, I think Nian Junting is only just getting started. He wouldnt let us off so easily. The Nian family is too powerful. We shoulde up with a n. I heard that Nian Junting made Chuen go bungee jumping when he wanted to teach her a lesson on Luo Sangs behalf. Nian Juntings grandparents both hate her to the core.


    Yi Jingxi looked at her coldly. She deserved it. It was definitely her fault when the tform copsed that night.


    Zhong Yi looked at him and said quietly, I thought we could work together with the Ye family since we have amon enemy.


    Yi Jingxi knitted his brows as he mulled over her words.


    Zeng Zhun interjected, Mr. Yi, we should return to An City. Weve incurred quite a loss from this incident. We need you at thepany to hold things together.


    Ok.


    Over the next couple of days, Luo Sang watched the news of the entertainment industry. After Zhong Yi held a press conference to defend herself, the opinions of theizens were widely divided. It was a pity that the news of a Korean idol dating his manager took over as the number one search topic. Han Shuzhou was extremely popr, and when his rtionship was revealed, it instantly took over the headlines of major forums and websites.


    On the way to school, Yan Su remarked, The Yi Group is really something. They managed to find that kind of news to shift the publics attention.


    Zhong Yi has many fans. She wont be taken down so easily, Luo Sang said, disappointed. However, she wasnt the most disappointed party. It had been difficult for Nian Junting to dig out that evidence. It seemed like his strategy hadnt worked.


    She proceeded to make a call to Nian Junting. I knew this was going to happen from the beginning. The Yi Group is a huge entertainmentpany. They control several entertainment reporters, and they have a strong public rtions team.


    Nian Junting smiled and didnt seem bothered by the situation one bit. Zhong Yi is not my ultimate target.


    Luo Sang was shocked. You are trying to shake the Yi Group?


    Nope, Im going after Yu Xi Film Studio.


    Luo Sang, taken aback, recalled Xiao Si telling her about purchasing Yu Xi Film Studio. Yi Jingxi had wanted to buy thepany. If he had really managed to do that, he would have had even greater influence in the industry.


    Remember, Yi Jingxispany came to look for mest year? I talked to him for quite a while. I realized then that he had greater ambitions than bing the boss of an entertainmentpany. He wanted to create an oriental Hollywood.

 Chapter 285. If She Acts Aggressively, Hell Enjoy It

    Chapter 285. If She Acts Aggressively, He''ll Enjoy It


    Luosang breathed deeply as she could scarcely believe that Yi Jingxi was actually so ambitious.


    I Never heard him mention all these, she said.


    Nian Junting snorted and said, People are greedy. After attaining Xu Group, hell only want to expand his business. Normal sesses wont satisfy him.


    I get it, Luosang said knowingly. So this time, your final goal is to hurt Yi Groups reputation, so he cant purchase Yu Xi Film.


    Not only that. Im also targeting the film and television base he is building. He cant possibly build it alone. Therere many other shareholders. What happened this time is like a lever, which can slightly shake the shareholders confidence toward Yi Jingxi. In that case, Ill be able to avail myself of the opportunity to purchase the stock right of the film and television base.


    Luosang honestly admired Nian Junting for how thoughtful he was. Normally, he was arrogant and narcissistic, but in the business world, he was admirable indeed. No wonder he had made Shengting so huge.


    Why didnt you say anything? Dont you admire your husband? Nian Junting chuckled proudly.


    Luosang blushed, nced at Yan Su, slowed down her pace and said with a low voice, When did you be my husband?


    Sooner orter. Didnt you say that youd give me your first time? Ill certainly be responsible to you then, said Nian Junting with a happy voice. Enough of that. The day after tomorrow, fly to Shanghai and attend a charity activity with me.


    Will we spend the night there? Luosang asked without thinking.


    Happy, right? You can get me onto your bed again, Nian Junting sounded thrilled.


    Didnt you hate being carried in my arms before? Now you sound excited, said Luosang speechlessly.


    After you became my girlfriend, it has be the spice of our rtionship.


    Luosang looked at the sky, the corner of her mouth twitchin. She was right; Nian Junting was a masochist.


    She began wondering if he would always enjoy it if she acted aggressively on the bed.


    Alright. Ille and get you the day after tomorrow.


    After ending the call, Luosang found that she had unwittingly walked into the campus. Yan Su turned back and asked, Are you going out with Mr. Nian?


    Luosang told her about traveling to Shanghai.


    Yan Su gave her a mysterious smile, then asked, Do you want me to buy you some condoms?


    Luosang pinched her arm, feeling shy.


    Theyughed until finding themselves face to face with Ye Chuen, Kang Ying, and Yu Wen.


    It had been only a few days. Ye Chuen seemed to have lost some weight, looking sallow and pitiful.


    Luosang might have felt sorry for her if she didnt know that Ye Chuen tried to sow discord between her and Tang Ning, and if she wasnt staring at her with such a vicious look.


    After all, Luosang clearly remembered how she was pushed down the bridge that night.


    You Seeing Luosang, the look in Kang Yings face changed. She rushed up and threw a p toward Luosangs face.


    Luosang hurriedly raised a hand to defend herself and grabbed Kang Yings hand.


    She was strong. Kang Ying struggled, but failed to free herself from Luosangs grasp. She looked out of the corner of her eyes and saw that Yi Wen was walking over. Then, she clenched her teeth and bent her legs deeply.


    Ouch she fell to the ground.


    Both Luosang and Yan Su were shocked.


    Mom! Ye Chuen hurriedly came to help Kang Ying up.


    Wait, wait, I sprained my ankle when she pushed me. Kang Ying raised her head, showing a painful look, saying, Xu Luosang, dont go too far. You bullied my daughter, and now youre trying to hurt me. Aunt, look. She disrespected us because Junting is helping her. She pushed me so hard! If she married Junting, will there ever be a ce for Ye Family?

 Chapter 286. Luo Sang would never do that

    Chapter 286. Luo Sang would never do that


    Luo Sang, I have never met anyone as ill-mannered as you are. No wonder you are the daughter of your father, Yu Wen said angrily as she looked at Kang Yis red and swollen foot.


    Kang Ying was her niece after all, Xu Luosang was disregarding her in front of herself.


    Im telling you, as long as I am Juntings grandmother, I would never allow you into the Nian family, she huffed as she helped Kang Ying up with Ye Chuen.


    I didnt push her, she fell down herself, Luo Sang said anxiously, she was shocked that Kang Ying would do such a thing at her age.


    I fell down myself? Kang Ying pointed a finger at her andughed, You think I would do such a thing at my age? You dont dare to admit to what youve done?


    Yan Suughed coldly, Auntie, I have to ask you, arent you ashamed trying to frame someone so much younger than you are?


    Grandauntie, she is my roommate, Ye Chuen pointed at Yan Su, She stole my resources from the recordingpany, she even stole the lead role in the school musical from me.


    This is too much, Junting must be blind. I wont let you off so easily, Yu Wen red nastily at Luo Sang and Yan Su, Chuen, hold on to your mother, lets go to the hospital.


    Yu Wen walked away angrily with them.


    Luo Sang picked up her pace and ran after them, after a while, she stopped in her tracks. Yu Wen didnt believe a word she said, there was no point exining herself.


    Youre going to have trouble now, Mr. Nians grandma seems to be very upset, Yan Su frowned and said worriedly, If the old people make a fuss about it, theres no way Mr. Nian canpletely ignore their protests.


    Luo Sang was having a headache, Do you think Junting would misunderstand me as well?n


    I dont think so, Yan Su winked, He would just be angry that the Ye family had put on a better show than he did.


    Yan Su made perfect sense.


    At the Shengting office, Nian Junting sat with his foot across his other leg as he discussed matters with his financial officer. When he picked up Yu Wens call, he could hear the anger in her voice, Come to the hospital immediately, your girlfriend is so disrespectful. She pushed your Ye Auntie onto the ground and she sprained her ankle. Ive never met someone as ill-mannered as her in my life.


    Nian Junting frowned, Is there some sort of misunderstanding? Luo Sang would never do that.


    I saw it for my own eyes, why would I frame a twenty-year-old girl?


    Ye Auntie must have done something nasty to her then.


    No one did anything, we were just sending Chuen to school. Your auntie wanted to hit her for all misery Chuen was put through, good for her, striking first. She could have just shielded herself, why did she have to push her to the ground?


    Nian Junting was quiet on the line, Ye family was the cause of the trouble in the first ce, I give it to you guys shutting things down with three million dors, but I thought they knew their mistakes. Seems like they arepletely unremorseful.


    Im telling you that Luo Sang was being disrespectful to her elders, are you brainwashed by her?


    Yu Wen was so angry that she almost fainted, She hit my niece in front of me!


    Grandma, you should tolerate Ye familys nonsense any further.

 Chapter 288. If we want to have five kids, should we start early

    Chapter 288. If we want to have five kids, should we start early


    Luo Sang looked up, Why did you change your hairstyle?


    Yeah, is it nice? Nian Junting looked at her seductively, he was obviously fishing forpliments.


    Luo Sang was on the brink of bursting intoughter, she had never met a man as needy as him.


    Nice, youre modeling the David Beckham style, arent you? Ive seen it on him before.n


    Nian Juntings face fell, Oh really, the hairstylist didnt tell me that. But I bet David Beckham didnt look as good as me.


    Yes, yes, yes. You are the most perfect.


    Luo Sang opened the car door, But you dont have to be upset, the Beckhams are so happy together. Four kids and a beautiful wife, hes loyal and faithful despite his good looks.


    Lets have five kids in the future then, Nian Junting grinned and grabbed her waist and nted a kiss on her cheek, Dont worry, I wont fool around either.


    Luo Sang blushed, I dont mean that.


    If we want to have five kids, should we start early? Nian Junting thought, Look, the fastest we can go is one in two years. You cant go too fast, youll have to recuperate and heal, thatll take us ten years in total, even longer if you do a c-section.


    Who said I was going to have five kids with you, Im not a suckling pig ok, Luo Sang was going crazy, the chauffeur was listening to their entire conversation.


    You can decide how many children to have then, I just want children in general.


    Luo Sang was already feeling tired after only meeting him for five minutes, he wasnt listening to her, Stop talking about it, Im going to leave.


    Ok, Nian Junting rubbed her cheeks affectionately.


    She was so cute when shes flustered.


    When they got onto the vehicle, the chauffeur turned and introduced himself, Hi, Sansan.


    Master Xiao, Luo Sang was shocked, Are you going too?


    Yeah, they invited me as well, Xiao Si gave her a bright smile.


    The organizers mainly wanted to invite me, they only invited him as well out of courtesy, Nian Junting said as he pulled out the breakfast that Sister Lan made, He didnt have to go but he is probably too free. Hes going to pick up chicks there.


    Xiao Si red at him and addressed Luo Sang, Dont call me Master Xiao next time, we seem too distant. Just call me Brother Xiao.


    Before Luo Sang could nod, Nian Juntingughed sarcastically, Youre not allowed to, she doesnt even call me Brother Ting.


    Xiao Sis expression was dull, Call me Sisi then.


    You think Ill allow that? Nian Junting asked.


    Xiaosi then, Nian Junting concluded.


    Thats too much, Xiao Si said angrily, You already have a Xiaosi at home.


    Yeah, you are really too much, Luo Sang said empathetically, Ill call you Brother Xiao. As for you, you can pick between being my brother or my boyfriend.


    Nian Junting looked at her sadly, Weve kissed, slept and hugged each other, do you still think I can be your brother? You have quite an open mind.


    Luo Sang was blushing, Who slept with you? Dont spout nonsense.


    Alright, Im deaf, I cant hear anything, Xiao Si plugged his ears.


    I know youve done more than sleeping together, I know you two have done the oral and the hand stuff too, Xiao Si thought to himself.

 Chapter 289. The First Time They Traveled Together and She Sneakily Hid A Box of Condoms in Her Bag

    Chapter 289. The First Time They Traveled Together and She Sneakily Hid A Box of Condoms in Her Bag


    Are we not leaving yet? Isnt our ne taking off at eleven oclock? Luosang reminded him, feeling a little tired.


    Hearing her, Xiao Si started the car.


    At the airport, the three of them used the VIP channel.


    When going through the security check, the airport staff asked Luosang to open her bag. Thankfully, to avoid an embarrassing situation, she had packed her clothes in paper bags before leaving. However, when the airport staff found a red box of Okamoto condoms, she was dumbfounded.


    Nian Junting and Xiao Si who stood by her side both fixed their eyes on the box of Okamoto.


    Xiao Si chuckled, pushing Nian Junting slightly.


    Nian Junting ignored her, but took the Okamoto box from the airport staffs hand, nced at it, then calmly put it back into Luosangs bag. As the bag was zipped up, Nian Junting gave a meaningful smile and nced at her.


    Luosang felt that even the bottoms of her feet were burning.


    She honestly didnt understand where that box came from. But then, she recalled thatst time, Yan Su had asked her if she needed to bring some condoms. This morning, when she came out of the bathroom, she saw Yan Su walking out from her room. She thought that Yan Su was borrowing her makeup, but now she guessed


    The airport staff nced at Nian Junting and Luosang with a meaningful look, then pushed the bag back to Luosang. Alright, its done. You may get in.


    The blushing Luosang grabbed the bag and quickly walked inside.


    She only wanted to leave this ce as soon as possible, as she felt terribly embarrassed.


    After resting for twenty minutes in VIP lounge, they boarded and ended up in the first-ss cabin.


    Nian Junting and Luosang sat in the first row, while Xiao Si sat behind them.


    After buckling up, Nian Junting turned, curved his lips into a smile, then said to Luosang, What does super thin mean?


    Eh? Luosang was confused.


    Youre pretending. You art school students just love pretending. Nian Junting happily pinched her cheeks and said, Fortunately, I know you well enough. You re shy on the outside, but wild on the inside.


    Luosang had a bad feeling. What are you talking about?


    Okamoto, Nian Junting chuckled and said, I saw the words super thin on the box. I dont quite understand; can you exin it for me?


    Luosang wanted to cry, but failed to shed any tears. She thought that he wouldnt mention it, but to her surprise


    If even you dont know what it means, how am I supposed to know? she asked.


    You bought it, so how can you not know?


    Nian Junting was thrilled. Luosang had been telling him that she wouldnt sleep with him before marrying him, but in fact, she sneakily hid a box of condoms in her bag when they traveled together for the first time.


    He began wondering if Luosang refused premarital sex because she wanted to marry him as soon as possible.


    Shes such a liar. She said that shes too young to marry, but I guess thats just a scheme of hers.


    I didnt buy it. Yan Su put it in my bag without letting me know, Luosang exined.


    Dont exin. I get it, Nian Junting nodded smilingly.


    He always made Sister Lan take the me, and now, she was doing the same to Yan Su.


    You do? Really? Luosang looked at him, feeling that his burning gaze was about to strip her.


    Yes. Nian Junting nodded and responded with, Since you dont want to tell me, Ill just google the meaning of super thin online.


    Luosang wanted to die.


    You know nothing!


    She picked up her phone and messaged Yan Su.


    She didnt think that the innocent-looking Yan Su would sneakily buy something like condoms.


    Yan Su soon repliedYou found it so soon. Yes, I put it in your bag, just in case. I think Mr. Nian will definitely do something this time.

 Chapter 290. Youve never even praised me like that before, do you fancy him?

    Chapter 290. You''ve never even praised me like that before, do you fancy him?


    Luosangs cheeks felt hot.


    Frankly she didnt have a clue what Nian Junting would say or do next because he was just too unpredictable and thick-skinned.


    Yan Su replied via text: Open it and leave one in your pocket just in case things get too heated.


    Luo Sang hit reply: You would know.


    Yan Su: I read it online.


    Ive searched it up. Nian Junting walked over with his phone in his hands, Super Thin sounds extremely passionate dont you think? Its one of the thinnest options that Okamoto offers, but the 003 is their thinnest. Online reviews say that Okamoto isnt the most popr brand now though, Jissbon is the best.


    She wanted to kill herself.


    Nian Junting continued, Shall we consider Jissbon? We can get a pack when we reach Shanghai.


    Speak any more and I will get off the ne right away, Luo Sang threatened him.


    Nian Junting blinked his eyes.


    He discovered a phenomenon that he observed in people who were secretly coy: they were all extremely bashful.


    Alright he would go get themter by himself then.


    When he was finally quiet, Luosang put in her earphones and closed her eyes. She let the music peacefully drift into her ears.


    Not before long, she had fallen asleep. She was only awakened when the air stewardess served the in-flight meal.


    The first-ss meal was scrumptious, and after she had a couple of bites, she noticed that Nian Junting wasnt touching his food at all. Why arent you eating? she remarked.


    Its so bad, your cooking is much better, replied Nian Junting.


    Luosang was speechless.


    When they arrived at Shanghai, they got off the ne and Nian Junting led the way with brisk steps.


    Luosang turned behind and saw Xiao Si struggling to keep up with them as he squeezed past the other passengers, Slow down, lets wait for Xiao Si.


    Nian Junting slowed down and looked behind them, Oh right, I nearly forgot. No wonder I felt as if I had lost something.


    Xiao Si approached them and he heard what Nian Junting had said and replied indignantly, Im not a thing ok?


    Of course I know that, Nian Junting looked at him condescendingly.


    Xiao Si was livid, Fine you win.


    Luosang turned to look at Xiao Si sympathetically, Brother Xiao, youre the most magnanimous person I know.


    I think so too, Xiao Si nodded his head.


    Nian Junting frowned at Luosang.


    Luosang blinked and said, The fact that he didnt decide to cut off all ties with you is evidence that he has a big heart. He doesnt hold grudges and hes easy-going, what more do you want?


    Nian Junting stopped in his tracks and said with a displeased tone, You are my woman so shouldnt you take my side? Why are you speaking for him? Stopplimenting him this way! Youve never even praised me like that before; do you fancy him?


    Luo Sangs eyes widened in disbelief.


    Xiao Si felt like he was beingpletely disregarded by Nian Junting, but added curiously, What would you do if she fancies me?


    You are my long-time buddy after all, and she is my woman. I wouldnt be too harsh. At most Id break your legs and throw you guys to opposite poles of the earth, never to meet again. NIan Junting looked at them emotionlessly, Im being kind here.


    Luo Sang and Xiao Si shuddered in unison.


    He said he was being kind.


    Alright, cut it out, Luosang held onto his arms tightly, I was just teasing you back there. Dont overthink it.

 Chapter 291. Would it be a Shame if Nothing Happened in such a Huge Bed?

    Chapter 291. Would it be a Shame if Nothing Happened in such a Huge Bed?


    Eh, thank God. I thought your taste became poor again, Nian Junting nodded.


    Xiao Si clenched his teeth in anger. I should have taken his girlfriend away.


    After leaving the airport, Manager Tang from the branch office in Shanghai escorted the three of them to a grand hotel nearby.


    When checking in, Luosang pulled Nian Juntings sleeve and said, I need an extra room.


    Nian Junting turned to Manager Tang. Manager Tang exined, The charity party is taking ce in this hotel. All the rooms have been booked already. But Ms. Xu, you dont need to worry, because the organizer has prepared a Riverview Suite for Mr. Nian and Mr. Xiao each, and one suite includes four bedrooms.


    Luosang gave herself a bitter smile. Left alone with four bedrooms? She might not be able to escape Nian Junting, even if there were forty bedrooms.


    Luosang felt a little strange, as such a huge hotel actually didnt have any avable room.


    You see, I cant do aything about it. Nian Junting spread his hands innocently and said, But its not a bad thing. If you sleep alone, Ill worry.


    Staying with you is more unsafe for me.


    Xiao Si, who stood aside Nian Junting, couldnt help but roll his eyes. Yesterday afternoon, in the CEOs office, he heard Nian Junting telling Lu Kang to book all the empty rooms in this hotel, and now, he understood why.


    Do you have to pretend to be like this? Youve brought condoms.


    Manager Tang handed the room keys to Nian Junting and Xiao Si, then said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, the full dress and stylist you asked for are ready. When Ms. Xu is rested up, Ill send the dress to your room.


    OK, Nian Junting responded. He held Luosangs hands and went upstairs.


    The Riverview Suite was about an eight-hundred foot square with multiple French windows. From the living room, one was able to look down at the Huangpu River. However, once in, Luosang found that the bathroom was transparent, and that made her feel awkward.


    Xiao Si stepped in and said, This ce is not bad. However, once he set foot in the room, Nian Junting immediately turned back and said to him, Why dont you go back to your own room?


    Really? So mean?


    Tingting, you followed me everywhere when you were single, but now, youre always trying to drive me away as if I was a fly. Is this really appropriate? Havent you thought about how cold and lonely I might feel in that giant suite alone?


    I havent.


    When Xiao Si heard Nian Juntings response, his stomach ached.


    Mr. Nian, Mr. Xiao, its really a surprise that you two will attend our charity party. At that moment, Manager Liao, the organizer, gently knocked on the door, then walked in excitedly and said, Its such an honor.


    Xiao Si raised his eyebrows and gave Nian Junting a sideways nce. I know you want to spend time with Luosang alone, but now thats not gonna happen.


    As the three of them talked, Luosang took the opportunity to check all the bedrooms, then picked one with the best view. To avoid Nian Junting sneaking into her room at night, she even took the key.


    After she lied on the bed for about half an hour, Nian Junting walked in, smiled, and said, This room is perfect.


    Yeah, its good. Theres a nice view. Luosang nodded.


    I mean the bed. Nian Junting sat on the bed, saying, Sorge. Six feet wide?


    I dont think so. Luosang had a bad feeling.


    As she thought, in the next moment, Nian Junting stared at her right in the eye and said, Four feet and a half at least. It would be a shame if nothing happened in such a huge bed.


    Luosang blushed immediately.


    In your dreams. She rolled her eyes toward him.


    Then what should we do with your condoms? Theyll expire if you dont use them. Nian Junting blinked his eyes, looking very innocent.

 Chapter 292. This Guy Was Scarily Possessive

    Chapter 292. This Guy Was Scarily Possessive


    Luo Sang had to hand it to him. Expiring condoms was his reason for doing it. They are good for three years.


    Hmm, you know so much! I dont really know about these things. Nian Junting frowned and appeared to be vexed. Its not good to keep them for too long, is it?


    I just like to keep them. You have a problem with that? Dont speak to me. I need to rest. Luo Sang wanted to cut the conversation short in case things got too scandalous again. She covered herself with the duvet and ignored him.


    Alright, lets not talk about it anymore. Dont cover yourself. Its not good for your venttion. Nian Juntingid down on the bed and pulled the duvet down. The stylist ising. Shes going to pick out your outfit and do your makeup.


    Luo Sang was incredibly stressed. I wouldnt havee if I had known that it was going to be so grand. Im on an unlucky streak when ites to events like these. She had been either humiliated or physically hurt, and she was traumatized after that series of unfortunate events.


    Dont worry, youve got me tonight. Nian Junting held her hands gently. Therell be a good show to watch.


    What show?


    Nian Junting grinned and said mysteriously, Youll find out.


    Whenever you say that, it means that youll be teaching some scumbag a lesson. Is that the show well be watching tonight? Luo Sang asked.


    Nian Juntings expression froze.


    Dont tell me I got it right. Luo Sang froze, too. Who are you targeting tonight? Youve already gotten Ye Chuen and Zhou Yanfeng. Are you going after Zhong Yi or Yi Jingxi tonight? Are they even in Shanghai?


    Enough. Youll find out eventually, Nian Junting said in frustration. He felt like he had just lost the element of surprise.


    Its really them? Luo Sang knew shed hit the jackpot. She felt a whirlwind of emotions. She had always been stampeded on by Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi in the past. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldnt escape from their humiliation and insults.


    She wondered how they would feel when she appeared with Nian Junting that night. They probably would never have expected her to know someone as powerful as he was. The thought of bumping into the two of them tonight made her excited instead of fearful and anxious. She would be with her protector.


    So, Yi Jingxi is staying at the same hotel as us?


    Yeah, Nian Junting said reluctantly. He hadnt expected her to figure out the surprise so quickly.


    At that moment, the stylist arrived and knocked on their door. She was a fashionable woman in her thirties, and she brought with her a light pink gown embellished with floral embroidery. Luo Sang had seen it in a magazine as part of a high-end luxury brands winter collection.


    I can go into the room with you to help you put it on, she said.


    Nian Junting pulled the stylist aside to stop her. Youre going in, too?


    Of course. Thedy nodded. Shell need help putting it on.


    Youre not allowed to. Nian Junting grabbed Luo Sang and pulled her into the room. I can help her. You just wait outside. With a loud bang, he shut the door in thedys face.


    Luo Sang was astonished. Before she could speak, Nian Junting interjected, No one is allowed to see your body, not even other women. You have such a perfect figure, what if she takes a liking to you?


    Luo Sang blushed. Shes a woman, geesh.


    She could be homosexual, Nian Junting sat on the bed and said matter-of-factly.


    Luo Sang thought about all the times she had showered with Yan Su. Nian Junting would probably kill her if he found out. This guy was scarily possessive.

 Chapter 293. She Didnt Look Back, but She Knew that Those Were His Lips

    Chapter 293. She Didn''t Look Back, but She Knew that Those Were His Lips


    Just change here. Ill turn around, and I wont peek, said Nian Junting.


    Luosang didnt believe him at all. She looked around, then took the dress into a changing room in a bedroom.


    As she put the dress on, she realized that the stylist was right. She needed someone to zip her.


    She hesitated for a short while, then slowly walked out and said to Nian Junting with a soft voice, I need you to zip me. While speaking, she blushed.


    Nian Juntings bright eyes turned as dark as ink as he raised his head to look at her. She hadnt done the makeup yet, but the light pink dress made her skin look snow-white. With the delicate corbones, slender arms and slim waist, she looked as beautiful as a fairy.


    It was a V-neck dress. As the zipper was undone, her breasts were halfway exposed, looked as smooth as mutton tallow, making Nian Junting feel terribly thirsty.


    Dont look, under Nian Juntings scorching gaze, even Luosangs toes were feeling hot. She wanted to cover her breasts, but had to keep her hands on her shoulders to prevent the dress from falling off.


    She was surprised that Nian Junting would agree her to dress in such a sexy style this time. After all, he even asked her to cover her corbones on Ye Chuens birthday party.


    Zip me now, she said.


    As she turned around, Nian Junting saw her snow-white back. While breathing slowly, he walked to her.


    Luosang held her breath. Only after he walked up behind her and touched the zipper, did she sighed with relief.


    However, she waited for a while, but didnt hear the zip. Instead, something hot and soft was pressed against her back.


    She froze.


    She didnt look back, but she knew that those were his lips.


    Nian Junting she turned back, feeling both shy and annoyed.


    Before she could see his face, he covered her lips with his.


    Her lips were soft, smelled nice. Recalling what he saw just now, Nian Junting just couldnt stop kissing her.


    Luosang was still clear-minded. She was willing to kiss him, but she was also aware of the fact that kissing right now was no different from lightning a fire next to a pile of dry wood.


    She couldnt push her, because she had to hold the dress tight. The zip was still undone, and the dress could fall off at any time.


    She moaned, tried to flinch, but he held her tighter and tighter.


    She was like a little rabbit that was trying to escape. But soon, she was entrapped by him.


    Their tongues tangled together. Before long, Luosangs brain stopped working.


    She didnt notice when he took her hands away from her dress and put them on his waist.


    One strap of the dress fell off, then the other one.


    Right after that, the pink dress fell to the ground.


    And then, her nude bra fell as well.


    Being kissed by Nian Junting, Luosang felt like bathing in boiling water.


    She was in love with someone else before, but next experienced something so stimtive.


    Nian Junting was like fire, which seemed to burn her up.


    Not as same as before, he didnt only kiss her lips and ears and neck, but went lower to the ces where hadnt been visited by anyone else.


    Luosang leaned against the window, slightly raised her chin and opened her mouth to breathe. Her eyes were misty, and her face was as pretty as the sunset glow.


    She felt like countless ants were biting her body.


    It felt nice, but wasnt enough to satisfy her.


    Nian Junting took one single nce at her face, then began feeling extremely ufortable.


    Her skin was tender and soft.


    Her body was never so hot.

 Chapter 294. Look, Im having a nosebleed from over-stimulation

    Chapter 294. Look, I''m having a nosebleed from over-stimtion


    He felt the warmth spreading from his toes all the way up to his head.


    He felt something hot trickle down his nose.


    Luosang looked at him through her half-shut eyes and gasped, You why is your nose bleeding?


    She turned around to look for a piece of tissue before she stepped away and realized that her gown was in a pile at her feet.


    She blushed a deep red and quickly bent over to pick up her gown. Flustered, she clumsily looked for the right holes to put her arms in.


    She was extremely embarrassed.


    Nian Junting wiped his nose regretfully and walked over to help her with her gown.


    Dont touch me you pervert, Luosang pped his hands away.


    Luoluo I couldnt help myself; you are just too beautiful, Nian Junting hugged her tightly and pressed his lips against her ear. She could feel his hot breath on the tips of her ears, Look, Im having a nosebleed from over-stimtion.


    Luosangs heart was thumping in her chest and she was at a loss for words.


    She knew that she shouldnt be hugging him like that. Something was bound to happen between the two of them.


    Let go of me first. I still need to try on the gown, she grumpily pushed him away.


    Nian Junting let go of her reluctantly, but he wanted to hold her naked like this for awhile longer.


    He remembered his mission to humiliate theirmon enemy and focused on tidying up her gown.


    When Luosang saw the hickeys on her breasts, she wanted to bury herself in a hole.


    You how can I wear this gown tonight, Luo Sang was at her wits end. Anyone who saw the bruises would know what they were.


    She didnt even dare to walk out of the room and see the stylist.


    I think we should change the gown.


    No, Nian Junting refused, I think you look the best in this one,. We can just cover these up with some powder. Ill ask the stylist toe in.


    Dont, Luosang grabbed his arm, Wouldnt she know what weve been doing in here once she sees me? I dont want that.


    Whats wrong with that? You are my girlfriend and isnt it normal that we do these kinds of things? Nian Junting wanted to tell her that her raw red lips would give them away anyway.


    Luo Sang pounded his chest with frustration. He really has the cheek to say that? she thought to herself, Shouldnt you be shy about these things?


    Im no ordinary man, Nian Junting grunted.


    That wasnt apliment, she thought and pushed him away. She fished out a powderpact from her bag and started applying it on her chest.


    Nian Junting watched her from the side. Those were marks left by him and he was extremely proud of himself. This might be his proudest moment yet.


    Look, she had to applyyer afteryer to conceal the markspletely.


    He couldnt help but reach out and hug her from behind. Chuckling he said, Luoluo, you have such fragile skin. It didnt take much to make those marks.


    Luosang had just managed to calm herself down and now she was blushing inside out again. She turned around and red at him before walking angrily to the door.


    She suspected that he would leave many more bruises if she didnt leave right away.


    Miss Xu, you look gorgeous in this gown!


    The stylist greeted her cheerily with a smile the moment she stepped out, her eyes resting on Luo Sangs red lips and her chest region. She paused before diverting her eyes quickly.

 Chapter 295. I Never Tried to Compliment Women, so My Words Are Limited

    Chapter 295. I Never Tried to Compliment Women, so My Words Are Limited


    Ms. Xu, please sit here. Let me do your hair.


    The embarrassed Luosang followed the stylist, thinking that the stylist was really professional. Thankfully, the kiss marks on her skin werent too obvious.


    An hourter, Luosang nearly failed to recognize herself in the mirror. The fashionable wavy hair covered one shoulder of her. She was wearing a pair of pink diamond earrings with tassels, and a diamond ne. The delicate eye makeup made her eyes look bright and charming, sparkling like stars. She was so beautiful and special that she could even stop people from thinking.


    Mr. Nian, shes ready, the stylist reminded Nian Junting, who was sitting on the couch and looking at his phone.


    Nian Junting raised his head and saw her. His pupils dted, as he was shocked by her beauty.


    Luosang had seen that look in his eyes earlier in the bedroom, so when seeing it again, her legs were softened a little. Thankfully, the stylist was standing right beside her.


    Not bad, Nian Junting stood up, nodded, and said, Ill tell Manager Tang to double your sry.


    Thank you, Mr. Nian. The stylist happily packed her tools and said, Ill be leaving then.


    Ok, Nian Junting responded.


    When the stylist left, Xiao Si walked in. Seeing Luosang, he paused for a few seconds, then said, My God, are you Luosang? I nearly failed to recognize you. Youre like a fairy!


    Luosang blushed and responded with, Thank you.


    Nian Junting wasnt so happy about it. He felt that he should be the oneplimenting her like that, but Xiao Si had said those words. How should hepliment her then? He never tried topliment any woman before, so his words were very limited.


    Enough, youre being dramatic, he said to Xiao Si.


    Not at all. Shes really beautiful. Xiao Si nodded and said, Tingting, why is your girlfriend so pretty? Youve raised the bar for my future girlfriend. My future girlfriend cant be worse than yours, can she?


    Then you can stay single your whole life. Nian Juntings words made Xiao Si want to vomit.


    Xiao Si gave up on continuing this conversation, so he changed the topic and said, Alright. But seriously, Mr. Wang from Chenfeng is here. He wants to meet us alone in the bar at the top floor, to talk about the fundraising program in UK.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting turned to Luosang.


    Just go. Ill watch TV here, she said.


    Youll get bored staying here alone. Come upstairs with us. Theres a Italian style hanging garden. The view is nice. You can take some pictures. The sun is setting, so its the perfect time to take pictures, Xiao Si suggested. After finishing with Mr. Wang, well have dinner together, then attend the charity party.


    Luosang thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.


    At the top floor, Luosang finally realized how beautiful the so-called Italian style hanging garden was. There were green walls and corridors in the broad space, and in the middle was a small fountain.


    Soft English songs echoed through the garden. A few guests were sitting in the gardenzily, chatting and drinking coffee. People were talking with low voices. Some of them were foreigners, and some were Chinese; every single one of them seemed to be polite and well-educated.


    Before leaving, Nian Junting arranged a seat for Luosang, then ordered her a ss of juice.


    Luosang spent a while waiting for the sunset, then took a few beautiful pictures of the setting sun with her phone.


    Abruptly, two women walked in from the outside. One of them was wearing a light blue, high-slit dress, holding a small silver purse. Her long and straight legs were half-exposed.


    The woman had a delicate face with typical oriental features, including her arched eyebrows, small and pretty nose, and cherry-like lips, looking natural and sweet.

 Chapter 296. Do You Still Remember Me, Miss Ji?

    Chapter 296. Do You Still Remember Me, Miss Ji?


    Thedy walking in front of her seemed like she was the assistant. She was wearing a denim jacket and carrying arge tote bag as she lifted the beaded curtain for thedy behind her.


    Luo Sang kept her eyes on the pair as they took their seats next to the fountain. After they ordered fruit juices, thedy in the denim jacket looked over to Luo Sang and caught her gaze. She frowned before whispering something to the prettydy. Thedy nced at Luo Sang and paused for a couple of seconds before looking away. She looked down at a thick book in herp.


    Luo Sang took a sip of her juice before heading toward thedy in her high heels. Hello, Miss Ji.


    The woman in the denim jacket reminded her harshly, Excuse me, miss, I know you want an autograph, but please observe the regtions in this restaurant. It was extremely rude of you to stare at us earlier on.


    Sorry, I havent seen Miss Ji in a long time. I just wanted to say hello. Luo Sang smiled and said apologetically, Do you still remember me, Miss Ji?


    Ji Nuanyi finally looked up from her script and stared hard at the beautiful girl in front of her. She found Luo Sang extremely familiar. You are


    Luosang, Xu Luosang.


    Luosang? Ji Nuanyi was shocked and looked at her with surprise and delight. You look so different! You always went for the natural beauty look, innocent like a schoolgirl. You look a lot more mature now.


    Luo Sang smiled gently, since she only looked different today because she was dolled up for this special event. She heaved a sigh of relief to see Ji Nuanyi greet her warmly as she had in the past.


    Miss Ji, you look more beautiful than ever.


    Come on, you tter me so. Ji Nuanyi put down her script andughed. Lets sit together.


    Youre still so hardworking. Luo Sang looked at the script she had put on the table. She didnt expect Ji Nuanyi to work as hard as she had before, now that she was so popr.


    I have to do justice to my profession. Ji Nuanyi looked at her with a tinge of apology. Im sorry about what happened to you. I couldnt render my help then, and I had lost all contact with you. Have you been well the past two years? Are you still doing voice acting?


    I changed my name to Luo Sang. Luo Sang felt her warmth. Im still studying at Ximei Arts School, and Ive dubbed two web seriesst year already. I also took part in a Thai project.


    Ji Nuanyi frowned. Its such a waste of your talent on a small project like that! Give me your contact details. Im working on a new show, and were going into post-production soon. Ill hire you to be my personal voice actor.


    Nuanyi her assistant interrupted quickly. Miss Liu already said that Zhou Wanke will be doing all of your voices from now on. If you swap her out so hastily, Miss Liu will be angry


    I dont think Ive signed a contract to hire Zhou Wanye to be my designated voice actor. Ji Nuanyi shrugged. Anyway, I dont think her voice is suited for me. Havent you seen all thements on her newly released drama series? People are saying that her voice seemed out of ce in those shows. Luo Sangs voice is much closer to mine, not to mention the fact that Zhou Wanye is Zhong Yis junior. I wanted to fire her long ago.


    But


    Luo Sang was integral to my sess back then, when she was my voice actor then in that tv series, Ji Nuanyi interrupted her. When I only yed small roles back then, Luo Sang was already a big shot in the voice acting industry. She was willing to do me a favor and dub my lines then, and Ill always remember her kindness. Im more than willing to do the same for her now.

 Chapter 297. Shes Staying in this Hotel. Yi Jingxi is Here too.

    Chapter 297. She''s Staying in this Hotel. Yi Jingxi is Here too.


    Luosang was touched.


    She had done voice-acting for quite a few actresses. Many of them had be famous, but among all, only Ji Nuanyi remembered that.


    Your assistant is right. Ms. Liu was said Luosang.


    Dont you worry. Ill make her agree. Ji Nuanyi gently patted the back of Luosangs hand and said, It reminds me of your old friend Zhong Yi I have never met anyone as disgusting as her.


    Luosang gave a bitter smile.


    The others all thought Ji Nuanyi and Zhong Yi were sworn enemies because Zhong Yi rose to fame suddenly, and Ji Nuanyi was jealous of her.


    Unlike those people, Luosang clearly remembered that years ago, she had introduced Zhong Yi to Ji Nuanyi, and hoped that thetter could ask her friend if they needed voice actors, but as a result


    Ji Nuanyi sneered and continued, You treated her so well, yet she actually stole your fiance. Last year, I saw her at the award ceremony. You cant imagine how proud she was. She started in the entertainment businesster than I did, and shes younger than me. But she has never shown any respect to me, because she has Yi Jingxis support. And, she often encourages her fans to verbally attack me.


    Luosang frowned. She also felt that Zhong Yi was disgusting.


    Years ago, Zhong Yi would try everything and anything to kiss up to Ji Nuanyi, and Ji Nuanyi was rather polite to her.


    I made a mistake of bing friends with her. Luosang smiled and said, But after people found out about Mr. Lin, her reputation has gotten worse. She has lost a few advertisements and TV series.


    But still, the Yi Group is helping her. Shes staying in this hotel right now, and Yi Jingxi is here too. Ji Nuanyi nced at Luosang with worry, saying, Dont let them see you. Yi Jingxi is such an asshole. He has been trying to destroy you. Even worse; hes nning to purchase ourpany. If I hadnt been trying to stop Mr. Lu from meeting about thepany with him, ourpany would have be his.


    About Yu Xi Luosang lowered her voice and responded, In fact, Shengting is interested in Yu Xi as well.


    Shengting? Ji Nuanyi was surprised. I thought that was an investmentpany.


    I heard that the owner of Shengting is the future sessor of Zhong Zhou, Ji Nuanyis assistant said, joining the conversation. Currently, Shengtings projects cover multiple fields, from electronic technology to artificial intelligence, but the entertainment business isnt included.


    The owner is nning to set foot into the business. Luosang smiled and said, So I guess hell choose to merge with Yu Xi. The Yi Group, however, is going to try to devour Yu Xi.


    How do you know that? Ji Nuanyi raised her eyebrows and asked, It seems that youve experienced a lot these years too.


    Luosang smiled. Before she said anything, Nian Junting called.


    Come out. Were waiting for you by the entrance. Were going to have dinner, he said simplu.


    I need to go. My boyfriend is calling me for dinner. Do you have time to join us? Luosang invited Ji Nuanyi.


    I dont think so. My dinner time has already been booked. Ji Nuanyi said with surprise, You have a boyfriend? Congrattions! You really should have forgotten about Yi Jingxi, that scumbag. long ago.


    Ill see you at the charity party then. Youve dressed up, so youre attending the party too, arent you? asked Luosang.


    Ji Nuanyi nodded and replied, Yeah. Youre attending the party too? I guess your boyfriend does have a good background.


    Hes the owner of Shengting. Luosang smilingly nodded, then left.


    Ji Nuanyis assistant clicked her tongue and said, I didnt expect her boyfriend to be such a rich and powerful man. No wonder she showed up here, on the top floor. But I bet that rich man is just ying with her.

 Chapter 298. What did this mean, was she trying to make him jealous?

    Chapter 298. What did this mean, was she trying to make him jealous?


    Her assistant frowned, Nuanyi, Fu Shengyou has been trying to build connections between thepany and the Yi Group for the longest time, he is a favored artist under Miss Liu, she wont be pleased about this.


    Ji Nuanyiughed sarcastically, When Yu Xi is bought over by Yi Group, Ill be under the samepany as Zhong Yi. Do you think thepany would still invest resources into me then? If you still want to be my assistant, youll have to help me keep this a secret, if I go down, well go down together.


    The assistant shut up after hearing what she said.


    At the garden entrance, Xiao Si and Nian Junting were waiting for Luosang.


    What took you so long, were there any men trying to hit on you? Nian Junting asked cautiously.


    What are you saying, the people up there were all posh and of a different ss, Luo Sang held his arms and said, Besides, Im not that popr ok.


    My girlfriend is naturally the most popr, Nian Junting looked at her arm wrapped around his own and smiled.


    This was a good sign, she was holding his hands wherever she went.


    Lets go, to the restaurant, Im starving, Xiao Si hurried then, Theres a really good Canto restaurant here.


    The restaurant was on the 28th floor and they took the elevator up. Manager Tang had already made reservations and the three of them took their seats by the window.


    At the table, Xiao Si and Nian Junting were busy talking about work-rted matters and Luo Sang was left alone to enjoy her food by herself. The portion size was small but the food was prepared with finesse.


    After dinner, the three of them left the room when it was about time for the charity ball.


    At the bar, Xiao Si paid the bill while Nian Junting and Luo Sang stood behind him. Nian Junting was ying with her fingers out of boredom.


    She was wearing the diamond ring that he gifted her, it looked wonderful on her.


    Luo Sang was used to him fiddling about and let her eyes wander around the restaurant.


    On the other corridor, Yi Jingxi was chatting happily with Fu Shengyou, the popr actor. Zhong Yi and Zeng Zhun followed behind them.


    Luo Sang was shocked when she saw what Zhong Yi was wearing.


    Zhong Yi was wearing the exact same pink gown when she walked closer to her, she was sure that it was the exact same design.


    When Yi Jingxi and Zhongyi finally noticed them, they took a while before recognizing Luo Sang.


    Luo Sang looked extremely different from her usual self, her wavy hair was seductive and sexy but her dress made her look elegant and ssy.


    Anyone who saw her wouldnt be able to take their eyes off her.


    Yi Jingxis smile froze when he saw Nian Junting holding her hand and his expression looked grim suddenly.


    He had never seen her dress this way before, sexy and mature.


    She had always looked youthful and innocent in front of him, today, she properly transformed from a young girl into a woman in front of him, only she was standing beside Nian Junting.


    He tried his best to control his emotions thest time he saw her making out with Nian Junting. He wanted her to realize that Nian Junting didnt have any value to her and to leave him on her own ord.


    He bumped into them here yet again.


    What did this mean, was she trying to make him jealous?


    Wearing the exact same dress as Zhong Yi and all, was she trying to show him that she was much more beautiful than Zhong Yi?


    He felt much better after rationalizing his thoughts that way.

 Chapter 299. Last Time, Mr. Yi claimed that My Girlfriend is His Fiancee

    Chapter 299. Last Time, Mr. Yi imed that My Girlfriend is His Fiancee


    He walked toward Luosang.


    Zhong Yi, who stood behind him, looked extremely embarrassed, because she had also noticed that Luosangs dress was exactly the same as hers.


    What was even worse was that Luosang looked prettier in the dress than she did.


    Zhong Yi believed that Luosang did it on purpose.


    When two women show up in the same dress, only the less pretty one would feel embarrassed.


    Watching a group of people getting close to her, Luosang told herself to calm down. However, her tightened body and shaking hands revealed how nervous she was.


    Nian Junting sensed that too. He raised his head to see Yi Jingxi, then raised his brows with surprise, saying, Mr. Yi, what a coincidence. Good to see you again.


    I dont think this is a coincidence. Yi Jingxi gave a femininely faint smile.


    Probably. Nian Junting nodded and responded with, Mr. Yi, you didnt follow us here, did you?


    I dont understand, Yi Jingxi said. What Nian Junting said was also what he wanted to say.


    Interesting, Nian Junting chuckled and continued, I have such doubts for a good reason. Mr. Yi,st time, you imed that my girlfriend is your fiancee.


    Zhong Yi gave a start.


    Xiao Si paid the bill and came back to Nian Juntings words. Heughed and said, Yeah? But thest time I saw Mr. Yi, he said that your girlfriend is his girlfriends assistant, and that your girlfriend tried to seduce him. Its so strange. Which one is real?


    Yi Jingxis handsome face turned slightly dark.


    Really? Nian Junting smiled and lowered his head to ask Luosang with a gentle voice, Luo, tell me; is what he said real?


    Im confused too. Luosang raised her head to stare straight at Yi Jingxi, saying, Mr. Yi, I thank you for saving me at the Ye Family. But I dont think its appropriate for you to tell people that I was your fiancee while I was unconscious. We were engaged, indeed, but after that, didnt you hold Zhong Yis hands, bring her to me, and tell me that she is a hundred times better than me? Didnt say that shes much more adorable than me, and that shes good in bed? Didnt you tell me that you never wanted to marry me? All that happened two years ago. Now, I finally have a new boyfriend, but again, you try to start a rumor. Isnt that awful?


    Nian Junting blinked and said, I didnt know that. I think youre good in bed.


    Luosang blushed and rolled her eyes toward him.


    She believed that now wasnt the time to say something like that, as so many people could hear it.


    Yi Jingxis muscles twitched. He told himself that Nian Junting and Luosang were trying to infuriate him.


    He said to himself that it was impossible for them to have had sex.


    Behind him, Zhong Yis face had twisted of jealousy.


    Yi Jingxi had actually told Nian Junting that Luosang was his fiancee.


    What did Zhong Yi mean to him then?


    Beside her, Fu Shengyou seemed to show a slight scornfulness when looking at her.


    She forced a smile, then walked up, took Yi Jingxis arm, and said, Mr. Nianearlier, Jingxi was in a bad mood. He must have been joking with you.


    Before Yi Jingxi said anything, Nian Junting looked at Zhong Yi and asked with interest, Who are you?


    Zhong Yi wore an embarrassed look. She was a star after all, so it made her feel awkward when Nian Junting asked who she was in front of so many people.


    Mr. Nian, I am Zhong Yi, she responded.


    Shes famous now. Last year, she won the Best Neer Award, added Luosang.


    Nian Junting nodded, then frankly showed his distaste. Its pretty obvious that she slept with someone to get to that award. How could someone who looks like that be a star? Are her fans blind?

 Chapter 300. Find yourself a caustic husband and you wont ever need to argue for yourself

    Chapter 300. Find yourself a caustic husband and you won''t ever need to argue for yourself


    Mr. Nian Zhong Yi bit her lip and tears were welling up in her eyes.


    Xiao Si added, Sansan, shes wearing the same gown as you.


    Before Luo Sang could say anything, Nian Junting said enthusiastically, Thats right, but I think shes wearing the fake. It looks ridiculous on her, Miss, you should wear something more suitable for yourself. It looks really awkward when you try to wear a new design when you dont have the looks toplement it.


    Jingxi Zhong Yi said pitifully, she looked at Yi Jingxi and pleaded for him to say something.


    Yi Jingxi took the opportunity and said, Mr. Nian, its very ungentlemanly of you to speak to ady this way.


    What did I say? I didnt tell her that she was ugly to her face.


    Nian Junting said coldly, I just tried to subtly convey my opinions and advice to her, she really doesnt look nice in this gown. Would you have preferred it if I called her a great beauty? I think that would have been more disrespectful, to lie to her I mean. She can only improve with honest feedback.


    Luo Sang almost wanted to p for Nian Junting.


    He had been very subtle with her already, she thought.


    His maliciousments could really poison someone to death.


    This was the first time she felt so delighted hearing his snidements.


    Find yourself a caustic husband and you wont ever need to argue for yourself.


    Yi Jingxi smiled, Your subtlety really blows my mind.


    Im impressed by your thick skin too.


    Nian Junting said sympathetically to Zhong Yi, Choose the right dress in the future, something that uplifts your status and looks. Dont force your boyfriend to run over to my girlfriend and call her his fiance. Thatll be upsetting.


    His words were like harsh ps to both of their faces.


    There were other patrons in the restaurant, even though Yi Jingxi was good at keeping a poker face, it was hard for him to hide his dark expression now.


    As for Zhong Yi, her face was a pale a sheet and she was on the verge of fainting.


    Lets go Tingting, the charity ball is starting in 5 minutes, Xiao Si reminded him with a giggle.


    Goodbye, Mr. Yi, Nain Junting wrapped his arm around Luo Sangs waist and waved goodbye with his free hand. He turned and walked away with Luo Sang.


    Yi Jingxi was seething in anger as he watched them walk away, nobody dared to say anything around him.


    Atst, Fu Shengyou cleared his throat, Mr. Yi, Ill go get the bill, this meal is on me.


    Its ok, how can I make you pay for the meal, Yi Jingxi patted his shoulders and gestured Zeng Zhun to get the bill.


    Who is that cocky man, Mr. Yi, Fu Shengyou asked.


    The CEO of Shengting Corporation, Nian Junting.


    Yi Jingxi said slowly, I heard some news about Shengtings intentions on buying over Yu Xi, theyve been asking around the industry. He has seen you with me now, if he buys over Yu Xi for real, Im afraid you wont be getting the kind of emphasis ced on you now.


    Fu Shengxu looked serious, Dont worry Mr. Yi, I will do my best to convince the shareholders of the director board to sell their shares to you.


    Im going up to change, Mr. Yi, Zhong Yi said palely.


    Do we have time for that, its three minutes to the opening, Yi Jingxi looked at her coldly, he knew that she wasnt as beautiful as Luo Sang was.


    He couldnt see a stark difference in the past, but now that the two of them were wearing the same gown, the difference was like heaven and earth.

 Chapter 301. What a Great Feeling It Was to Be Controlled by a Woman

    Chapter 301. What a Great Feeling It Was to Be Controlled by a Woman


    But Zhong Yi stomped her foot.


    Forget it. There are going to be many important guests at the event tonight. It wouldnt reflect well on you if you arrivedte. We just recently had a bacsh of criticisms, so we should be more conscious of our public image right now. Yi Jingxi marched towards the elevator.


    Fu Shengyou shrugged and said, If thats going to be the case, then take it easy. At least there arent any reporters at the event tonight. You should reorganize your own team though, Miss Zhong. Someone must have leaked the information regarding the dress youre wearing tonight. Thank goodness thatdy wasnt from the entertainment industry.


    Zhong Yi clenched her fists in anger. It was definitely no coincidence that Luo Sang was wearing the same dress as she was.


    In the elevator, Luo Sang caught sight of Nian Juntings smug grin in the reflective surface. He wasnt trying to hide his glee at all. She couldnt help smiling along with him and clutched his arm tighter. No wonder youre letting me wear this revealing dress, even though youre such a petty and bossy man.


    Of course. Nian Junting grunted and said, When I made Lu Kang dig around for Zhong Yis choice of outfit tonight, I didnt expect her to pick something so provocative. She doesnt have any assets to show off in the first ce, shes so t-chested. I dont understand why she would pick a dress like this. Since you can definitely outshine her in this outfit, I decided to loosen up this time. Ill never let you wear something like this ever again.


    Luo Sang burst intoughter. t-chested, that was a harshment. She wasughing when she suddenly paused. She squeezed his arm and said seriously, Youre good. Huh, you were looking at her chest the whole time? I didnt even notice her chest region until you mentioned it.


    Xiao Si burst intoughter beside them. Sangsang, you dont understand. When men check women out, all they look at is their face, their chest, and their butt. Nian Junting is just an ordinary man.


    Nian Junting gave him a side nce to silence him. You are the only despicable one here. Dont include me in your generalization. The only reason why I noticed her chest was because of her choice of gown. Im just shocked that a t-chested girl like her would pick a V-neck gown. So, Yi Jingxi has a thing for women like that.


    Xiao Si rolled his eyes at him. It wasnt that small. Nian Junting was being overly harsh and critical about his girlfriends nemesis.


    Nian Junting said to Luo Sang, My own brother has be jealous of me ever since starting a rtionship with you. Im just so lucky that my woman is so darn gorgeous.


    Luo Sang blushed. He had been as sweet as honey ever since they started dating. She was receptive of his affections in private, but she was still embarrassed whenever he was like that in front of others.


    Xiao Si was shell-shocked. His brother was bing such a corny man.


    Youre dead meat if I catch you staring at another womans chest again. Luo Sang red at him and decided to pardon him on ount of his plot against Zhong Yi.


    Of course not. Ill only look at yours, Nian Junting thought. He was over the moon. What a great feeling it was to be controlled by a woman. It proved that she could get jealous over him. What a petty woman, but he loved every bit of it. It showed that he was so charismatic that she couldnt tolerate any bit of imperfection.


    What are you smiling about? Xiao Si was speechless when he looked over at Nian Junting.


    You wouldnt understand. You dont have a girlfriend.

 Chapter 302. Wife, Later, if You Like Anything, Tell Me

    Chapter 302. Wife, Later, if You Like Anything, Tell Me


    Damn, I am single indeed. Why does he keep doing that to me? Xiao Si silentlyined to himself.


    He decided he had to find a girlfriend as soon as possible.


    How did you know Zhong Yi was going to wear this dress? Is someone in her team working for you? Luosang asked curiously.


    Later, youll find out I know much more than you could imagine, Nian Junting said, giving her a meaningful nce.


    Will there be more shows to watch? Luosang was surprised.


    I brought you all the way here, not just to embarrass them in the restaurant, said Nian Junting mysteriously.


    Luosang honestly couldnt guess what might happenter, so she became more and more curious about it.


    Before, she wasnt really interested in the charity party, but now, she was excited.


    The party was taking ce in the hotel. Once the three of them walked into the venue, the organizer and some people from the financial circle recognized Nian Junting and Xiao Si and came to greet them affably.


    Four or five minutester, as they were chatting with these people, Yi Jingxi, Zhong Yi, and their people walked in as well.


    The few people standing near the entrance noticed them instantly.


    Zhong Yi, who was wearing the same dress as Luosang, caught the most attention.


    Mr. Fang, who was rtively frank, nced at Zhong Yi and said, Isnt that Zhong Yi? Shes rather famous these years. Shes wearing the same dress as Ms. Xu. Before, I saw her on the TV and felt that she was quite pretty, but somehow, after seeing Ms. Xu in this dress, I feel that Zhong Yi is just average. No wonder my wife told me current actresses are mostly depending on lighting effects and that they only look good in screens.


    His voice wasnt loud, but it wasnt low either, and they were heard by Zhong Yi, who was passing by. She was infuriated.


    However, as the people who attended this charity party were all influential, Zhong Yi had no other choice but to pretend she had heard nothing and walk toward her seat.


    Your wife is right. Nian Junting didnt like Mr. Fang at first, but after hearing his words, he immediately gave thetter a smiling nce.


    Good. This Mr. Fang seems nice; maybe we can cooperate next time.


    At seven forty-five, Xiao Si guided Luosang and Nian Junting to the first row. As they walked to the right side of the venue, Luosang paused when seeing Yi Jingxi, Zhong Yi, and a few others who had already sat down.


    What Nian Junting mentioned before doesnt mean that we are going to be sitting together with them, right?


    The moment after she had that thought, she heard Xiao Sisughter. Mr. Yi, what a coincidence. We meet again. Weve seen each other three times in twenty minutes. Fate does brings us all together. Are your seats here? Great! Our seats are number seven, eight, and nine, right next to yours.


    Yeah? Its my pleasure to sit next to Mr. Nian and Mr. Xiao. Yi Jingxi wasnt even sure if he should feel delighted or unhappy about it.


    He felt delighted because Luosang was so close to him, but he felt unhappy because this was definitely not a coincidence. It seemed that Nian Junting had prepared this.


    Sit down. Nian Junting took the small purse out of Luosangs hands, then slightly lifted her dress for her to sit down easier.


    She sat next to Nian Junting, and Nian Junting sat next to Yi Jingxi. Xiao Si sat by Luosangs other side.


    Dear wife,ter, if you like anything, let me know. Ill buy it for you, no matter how expensive it is, said Nian Junting gently. His voice wasnt loud, but everyone around him was able to heard it.


    Luosang shivered slightly, feeling that she had goosebumps.


    It was the first time she had heard him talk so gently and call her wife.


    Hes really involved in his acting


    Wife? Yi Jingxi clenched his hands, trying to control himself.


    I dont think you two have married, he said.

 Chapter 303. She Was Calling Another Man Her Hubby

    Chapter 303. She Was Calling Another Man Her Hubby


    Yeah, were not married yet, but its only a matter of time. Young people nowadays enjoy calling each other hubby and wifey, anyway. I wasnt used to it at first, but my wife insisted. Nian Junting patted Luo Sangs hands lovingly and looked at her with affection.


    Xiao Si was about to throw up.


    Yi Jingxi knew that he was trying to anger him with his words, but his heart still ached thinking about Luo Sang calling another man her husband. He was in great pain. After holding himself back for a couple of minutes, he said dully, Watch your words, Mr. Nian. Itll be really awkward for thedy if you dont end up marrying her.


    True, like how you were engaged to my wife before, Mr. Yi. It was pretty awkward how your engagement fell apart. Mr. Nian nodded thoughtfully.


    Yi Jingxi uncrossed and crossed his legs again. He was on the verge of punching him. He inhaled a sharp breath to calm himself down. It would be best not to engage Nian Junting further.


    Nian Junting, on the other hand, wasnt about to let him off so easily. It was a golden opportunity to get his revenge. He hadnt forgotten all the heart-piercing things Yi Jingxi had said to him at the hospital. Although he couldnt ruin his career right away, he could torture his mind. It was an amusing task for him. He could tell that Yi Jingxi still had feelings for Luo Sang. That would be the only reason why Yi Jingxi looked at them with such jealousy and envy, why he would jump into the pool to save Luo Sang without any hesitation, and why he was so anxious and worried at the hospital.


    Oh right, wife, we talked about going on a vacation during the winter break, right? Have you thought about where you want to go? Nian Junting rested his arm on Luo Sangs shoulders. Lets go to the beach and stay at one of those floating vis. We can go stargazing at night!


    Alright, hubby. Luo Sang decided to y along with the act and smiled.


    Yi Jingxi felt a sharp pain in his chest. She had never addressed him that way before. She was calling another man her hubby. He was heartbroken and could no longer take it. He stood up abruptly and said, Im going to the restroom.


    Zhong Yi red viciously at Luo Sang.


    What are you looking at, Nian Junting hissed. Are you jealous of my wifes beauty?


    I know youre jealous. Do you want me to rmend a stic surgery clinic to you? Mypany is invested in one now. I can give you a discount, on the ount of Mr. Yi, of course.


    Zhong Yi was speechless, she cursed him in her mind. She had never met a man who was so brazenly mean before.


    Wifey, you sit here with Xiao Si, I need the restroom, too. Nian Junting released her hand and stood up.


    Luo Sang blinked in disbelief. Was he going to pester Yi Jingxi at the toilet as well? That would be a little excessive, wouldnt it? She should be the one obsessed with getting revenge. He was so full of aggressiveness, there was no need for her to defend herself at all.


    In the mens room, Yi Jingxi sshed his face with cold water. He slowly pulled out a silver engagement band from his pocket. It was the ring that he had picked out with Luo Sang at the mall the day they got engaged. They were so in love then, but now, she was with another man,ughing by his side, calling him her husband. He thought the most painful part was not being able to tell her how much he loved her.


    He was wrong.


    The most painful part was watching her fall in love with someone else. He was in so much pain and unbearable misery.

 Chapter 304. She Knows Exactly What Size I Am

    Chapter 304. She Knows Exactly What Size I Am


    Thats not the ring you gave Luo years ago, is it? Nian Juntings chuckles were heard from behind.


    Yi Jingxi suddenly turned back. Nian Junting stood behind him, looking at him with a pair of dark eyes, wearing a faint smile.


    Mr. Nian, youre following me really closely. Yi Jingxi dropped his face immediately and said, What do you want?


    I just want to see you get mad. Nian Junting smiled scornfully and responded with, Last time, when Luo was unconscious, you said quite a lot to try to tear us apart.


    I wasnt trying to tear you apart. I just said the truth. Yi Jingxi abruptly gave a smile, then said, Mr. Nian, are you jealous?


    Jealous? Nian Junting snorted and said, Mr. Yi, I assume you clearly know if what you said is true or not.


    The corners of Yi Jingxis eye twitched slightly. A drop of sweat fell from his hair onto the corner of his lips, which were pressed tightly together.


    Seeing the look on his face, Nian Junting lowered his voice further and continued, Do you know how well I know Luosang? From head to toe, she knows exactly what size I am.


    Yi Jingxi gave a cold smile and responded with, So what? She knows mine too. After all, we were together for a longer time.


    Nian Junting replied carelessly, What I said includes my man size.


    Yi Jingxi stayed silent.


    Nian Junting delightfully added, And my duration.


    Yi Jingxi stared at him in the eyes. Both of them seemed to release fire from their eyes.


    Yi Jingxi clenched his fists so tight that a bone cracking noise was heard. He really wanted to kick Nian Juntings ass in the bathroom.


    However, he was clearly aware of the fact that he was no match for Nian Junting, because Kashiwa told him that Nian Junting used to be a special-force soldier.


    Besides, it wasnt the time for him to turn against Nian Junting openly yet.


    However, he really couldnt stand it anymore.


    He wanted to carelessly tear Nian Junting into pieces when he thought of how Luosang might have slept with Nian Junting.


    Mr. Nian, the party is going to begin. Ill take my leave. Atst, he took a step backward, turned, and left the bathroom.


    Nian Junting leaned against wash basin, looking at Yi Jingxis back with a smile.


    He thought that Yi Jingxi would attack him. If that happened, he might be able to beat Yi Jingxi up in the bathroom.


    Yi Jingxi was once engaged with his woman. God knew how hard he had been trying to control his anger about it.


    However, he was surprised to find that Yi Jingxi was pretty good at putting up with him.


    In the venue, Lusang had been ncing at the bathroom from time to time.


    Will they fight in the bathroom? Xiao Si spoke out Luosangs thoughts.


    Luosang turned to look at him, then found the sweetly smiling Ji Nuanyi walking over while greeting the people around her.


    When making eye contact with Luosang, Ji Nuanyi raised her eyebrows with surprise. But soon, she gave a meaningful smile when seeing Zhong Yi and Yu Shengyou, who were just one seat away from Luosang.


    While shaking hands with Luosang, Ji Nianyi looked at Xiao Si and said, Luosang, youre sitting here too. Is this your boyfriend? Hes so handsome; hes even better-looking than some of the popr actors in ourpany. She also quickly nced at Yu Shengyou who wore an embarrassed look when hearing her words.


    Luosang didnt know how to react. She knew that Ji Nuanyi and Yu Shengyou were working for the samepany.


    Her words are even as mean as Nian Juntings.


    Xiao Si didnt know as much as Luosang did, but he managed to recognize Ji Nuanyi. It was their first time meeting, yet Ji Nuanyispliments had already disabled him from not smiling.


    He used to be especially confident of himself, but recently, he was depreciated cruelly by Nian Junting, and his confidence had suffered heavy blows.


    Now, he felt he was being healed entirely by the girl in front of him.

 Chapter 305. Mr. Yi, Have You Seen My Husband?

    Chapter 305. Mr. Yi, Have You Seen My Husband?


    You too, Miss Ji. You are so much prettier in real life than on television or in photos. You are glowing, unlike other female celebrities who cake themselves with makeup. Some of them make me think that all of their photos were photoshopped. They dont look good in real life at all. Xiao Si stood up and shook her hand. He nced at Zhong Yi casually.


    Zhong Yi wanted to vomit blood. Why did they have to drag Yu Shengyou and herself into this?


    The corner of Luo Sangs lips curved into a smile. She was chuckling on the inside. The two of them had used the opportunity to throw shade at the other two at the same table. She realized that she was only a bit yer in tonights show, even though she was the one with grievances and old scores to settle. The people around her were so fired up. Zhong Yi had probably offended too many people in the past.


    Miss Ji, youre mistaken. Hes not my boyfriend. Hes Xiao Si, my boyfriends good buddy, Luo Sang exined gently.


    Laugh to death? Ji Nuanyi was stunned, but she quickly realized that she was being rude and nodded. Oh yeah? Im sorry, your name is quite special and interesting.


    Xiao Sis smiling face froze, and he said, Xiao means charismatic, and Si means brave and uninhibited.


    Ji Nuanyi nodded. My name is Ji Nuanyi. Ill be sitting beside you tonight, Mr. Xiao.


    Do you want to change seats with me, since you are friends with Luo Sang? Xiao Si offered.


    Thank you, then. Ji Nuanyi epted his kind gesture.


    The moment they took their seats, Yi Jingxi appeared, looking grim. His face was as pale as snow. Luo Sang felt something stuck in her throat. What had Nian Junting done?


    Yi Jingxi was always enigmatic and hard to figure out. She was always infuriated whenever she bumped into him. It was rare to see him so livid.


    Yi Jingxi took his seat and stared at Luo Sang with fury.


    She felt ufortable and irritated, so she said, Mr. Yi, have you seen my husband? He went to the mens room as well.


    Yi Jingxi was hopping mad. He was just about to say something when Luo Sang suddenly cast her gaze somewhere behind him. She was smiling ear to ear at Nian Junting, who was walking suavely with his hands in his pockets.


    He frowned when he caught sight of the stranger sitting beside Luo Sang. Why did you change your seat, Xiao Si? Who is this woman?


    This is Ji Nuanyi. I was telling you about her, Luo Sang exined hastily. I didnt expect to bump into her here. Miss Ji, this is my boyfriend, Nian Junting.


    Hello, Mr. Nian, Ji Nuanyi said politely. She noticed how wary he was with strangers and decided to address him more formally.


    Hmm. Nian Junting nodded at her in acknowledgment. Look, his woman was introducing him as her boyfriend.


    What did you say to Yi Jingxi in the mens room? Luo Sang whispered curiously.


    Its a secret between men.


    The charity event started promptly at eight oclock. It was an auction of donated items, and the proceeds would go to a foundation for children with leukemia. The first item was andscape painting by a modern contemporary artist. It wasnt a historical collectible, so the bid started off at $10,000.


    At $30,000, Nian Junting suddenly raised his hand. One hundred thousand dors.


    The host was shocked, as the painting was overpriced even at $30,000. One hundred thousand dors by Mr. Nian, what a generous man!

    Chapter 306. He Even Wanted to Chop up Nian Junting and Chew Him up


    Under the gazes of the others who were whispering to each other, Nian Junting crossed his legs, proudly raised his chin, and said with a cold and clear voice, Since this is a charity event, why are we caring so much about the price of the piece? The most important thing is that were going to help those children with leukemia. Perhaps if we pay more, one more life will be saved.


    His words brought himself praise from almost all the others in the venue.


    Even Luosang looked at him in a different way, saying, Junting, I didnt know that you like to help others.


    Mr. Nian is really a man of virtue. The emcee, who held the microphone, couldnt stopplimenting Nian Junting.


    Yi Jingxi clenched his teeth and raised his bidding paddle, One-point-five million.


    One-point-eight million, Nian Junting said, raising the price further.


    Two million, said Yi Jingxi.


    This time, Nian Junting stayed silent.


    The emcee looked at him and asked, Mr. Nian, are you going to bid higher?


    Nope, Nian Junting shook his head.


    Yi Jingxi finally sighed with relief. Looking at Nian Junting, he said, Mr. Nian, didnt you say that if we pay more, one more life might be saved?


    Nian Junting nodded, nced at him, and responded with, Yeah, but the one who paid two-million for a modernndscape painting might be seen as an idiot.


    Yi Jingxis pupils shrank, and his heart nearly exploded because of anger.


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched intensely.


    She was honestly impressed by Nian Junting. It turned out that he said all the nice words earlier just to entrap Yi Jingxi.


    Luosang admitted that she overestimated Nian Juntings virtue.


    However, seeing Yi Jingxi trying so hard to keep himself from losing his temper, she felt rather delighted.


    So, the first piece was sold to Yi Jingxi like that.


    For the second and third piece, Nian Junting didnt make a move.


    The fourth piece was a blue and white porcin vase from the Ming Dynasty. The starting price was two-million and eight-hundred thousand yuan.


    When someone offered four-million, Nian Junting raised his bidding paddle and said, Six-million.


    The venue stirred again.


    Yi Jingxi curved his lips into a smile, raised his bidding paddle, and followed, Eight-million.


    Ten-million, said Nian Junting.


    Hearing that price, all the others turned to Yi Jingxi.


    At that point, anyone with discerning eyes had figured out that Yi Jingxi waspeting against Nian Junting on purpose.


    This time, Yi Jingxi didnt bid higher, but smilingly said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, since you like this piece so much, Ill just give it up.


    Youughed at me earlier, but now, youre going to pay ten-million for an average blue and white porcin vase. What a fool.


    Nian Junting gave a smile, then said with a loud voice, Thank you Mr. Yi. I was waiting for you to bid higher, so I could buy this piece with a better price to help some more underprivileged children. What a shame. How about thisIll add five-million. Ill pay fifteen-million for this vase, so we can build a few more primary schools for the needy children who are living in the mountain areas.


    Mr. Nian, on behalf of those children, I thank you for what you have done! The emcee excitedly started pping.


    Soon, the venue was overwhelmed by apuse and praises.


    Nian Junting smilingly stood up, waved his hand, then gently made a bow.


    Luosang was a little speechless.


    Its such a waste that this man isntpeting for an Oscar.


    Yi Jingxis face had blushed crimson at the moment. He even wanted to chop up Nian Junting and chew him up.


    Before, he barely made any contact with Nian Junting and was only impressed by his proudness.


    But now, he found Nian Junting was so shameless that he could even turn ck into white.


    Zhong Yi held Yi Jingxis hand and said, Jingxi, calm down. Stop bidding.


    Yi Jingxi coldly threw away her hands and gave her a threatening nce.

 Chapter 307. She Had No Idea What Stunt Nian Junting Was Going to Pull

    Chapter 307. She Had No Idea What Stunt Nian Junting Was Going to Pull


    Yi Jingxi pushed her hands away and red at her coldly. Zhong Yi pursed her lips spitefully and turned to re at Luo Sang. She hated her guts. Luo Sang felt aggrieved. She had no idea what stunt Nian Junting was going to pull. It wasnt her n.


    Ji Nuanyi tugged her arm and gave her a thumbs up. She whispered, Thank goodness your boyfriend isnt in the entertainment industry. He would win best actor, no doubt.


    Luo Sang chuckled. Nian Junting held her hand gently, raised it to his face, and nted a firm kiss. It was yet another blow to Yi Jingxi.


    At 9:40pm, the charity auction had ended. There had been 30 items avable, and Nian Junting had been the star of the entire auction. When the event ended, he was surrounded by many celebrities and business tycoons who were all singing his praises.


    Yi Jingxi was about to slip away quietly when Nian Junting called out to him. Mr. Yi, you are a big stakeholder in the entertainment industry. The Movie Estate has earned you tens of millions of dors easily. You only donated 4,000,000 tonight. I hope you can participate more actively in the future. You shouldnt be keeping all your money in your own pocket. There are so many children out there in need of our financial support. It wont mean much to you, but it could potentially change the lives of a less-privileged family in a rural vige, Nian Junting said thoughtfully.


    If Luo Sang hadnt known better about the tricks up his sleeve, she would have been moved by his sensational speech.


    One of the more senior businessmen said in approval, Not only is Master Nian young and sessful, but you also have a heart of gold. CEO Murong really taught her grandson well. If I had a grandson like you, I would have sweet dreams every night.


    Uncle Cheng, Im just trying my best to do the right thing, Nian Junting said humbly.


    Yi Jingxi watched the conversation and wished he could throw his shoe at Nian Juntings face. He should really go into acting. Yi Jingxi had never met anyone as fake as Nian Junting, even after all these years in business.


    Yi Jingxi would have been much more generous if he had been in a better mood. Now he looked as if he were a shrewd and calcting businessman after Nian Juntings noble and altruistic lecture. He had made himself look like a saint. There was nothing Yi Jingxi could do about it.


    Mr. Nian, youve taught me quite a lesson. Ill remember what youve said tonight, Yi Jingxi said through gritted teeth and promptly took his leave.


    Look at him, he looked so indignant, Nian Junting said to Mr. Cheng. My grandfather always told me not to forget the poor when you enjoy the riches of the world.


    Mr. Cheng said with approval, Dont hold it against him. Hes just a despicable man who earned his ce with the help of a woman. A petty figure.


    Luo Sang was shocked. How did people know about that?


    Ay, why do you say so, Mr. Cheng? Nian Junting raised his brows.


    I only found out recently. Youve heard about what happened to Xu Zhengxuan, right? Although he got what he deserved, his daughter was sadly implicated as well. I heard that Yi Jingxi was engaged to his daughter and stole the Xu Group from her the moment her father went to jail. Apparently, she was robbed of everything. What an immoral man. She was the reason he could enter the Xu Group in the first ce. The worst part is that he banned her from entering the entertainment industry after that. She couldnt even find a job. Who knows where she is now?

 Chapter 308. If Shes Half Drunk, Someone Else Will Get A Chance

    Chapter 308. If She''s Half Drunk, Someone Else Will Get A Chance


    Paused briefly, Mr. Cheng wore a serious look and said, Dont think Uncle Cheng is lying to you. Thats real. Many from the entertainment circle know it. That man is too brutal. In my opinion, he definitely got close to Ms. Xu on purpose. He was aiming for her family business since the beginning. I hate that kind of people that most. Theyve even given up on their conscience for money.


    Yeah? Nian Junting showed distaste on his face, then said, Thats hateful indeed. I should stay away from those kinds of people. If any of your friends ever cooperate with Mr. Yi, dont forget to warn them so they wont get entrapped by him.


    Tell me about it. Earlier, you said that he should donate more to help the needy children, but how could he possibly be willing to do that? He cares about nothing but money.


    Mr. Cheng sighed and continued, Im flying back to Beijing tonight. We should have some tea together when you have time. Ill be leaving now.


    See you, Uncle Cheng. Nian Junting politely waved his hand.


    After seeing Uncle Cheng off, Nian Junting turned back to find the strange look in Luosangs eyes.


    Luosang, is this the Mr. Nian you mentioned earlier? Is he the on who wants to buy Yu Xi? Ji Nuanyi walked over with a sweet smile.


    Nian Junting raised his brows slightly and said frankly, Can you help me?


    Mr. Nian, youre really straightforward. Ji Nuanyi raised her chin, then responded frankly as well, This ce isnt good enough. I think we need to talk privately.


    Im busy tonight. Tomorrow morning, you can talk to Mr. Xiao from ourpany. Nian Junting pointed at Xiao Si with his chin.


    Xiao Si was confused. He asked, Will you be busy tomorrow morning too? Luosang and Ms. Ji are friends, so I think maybe we can have breakfast together.


    I dont want to have breakfast with you. I want to have breakfast alone with Luosang, Nian Junting responded distastefully.


    Ji Nuanyi smiled.


    Xiao Si rolled his eyes and replied, Perfect. Id like to have meal with a prettydy alone as well.


    Luosang, are you free tonight? The bar at the top floor is nice. I think we can hang out there and talk about voice-acting, Ji Nuanyi said to Luosang.


    Luosang turned to Nian Junting. She thought that he would disagree, but to her surprise, he thought shortly and nodded. He then said, Xiao Si and I are going out for a meeting tonight and wille backte. Itll be good for you to hang out with Ms. Ji.


    Where are you going? Nian Juntings reaction made Luosang suspicious. Youre not going to some other ce filled with women, are you? she asked.


    Youre such a stingy, jealous little girl. Were not even married, yet youre already trying to control me. Nian Junting gently pinched her cheek with a warm smile.


    He understood her. After all, he was so charming, and there were countless girls outside who wanted him. However, he believed that she should believe in him as he was different from the immoral Yi Jingxi.


    Luosangs face was twisted by Nian Juntings hands, so she patted the back of his hand.


    Then, Nian Junting turned to Xiao Si and said, Exin it to her. Im really helpless.


    Xiao Si was speechless, feeling that Nian Junting was showing off.


    Were going to meet the owner of a financial managementpany, which has developed a popr APP. We intend to cooperate with thispany. Its a rather important case. If it wasnt, not even ten horses could drag him away from you tonight, said Xiao Si.


    Dont drink too much alcohol, said Luosang.


    At the entrance, the two men and the two girls went their separate ways.


    After taking the elevator down, Xiao Si abruptly asked, Its so strange. Usually, you keep Luosang as if she was a prisoner. But why did you let her go to the bar with Ji Nuanyi tonight?


    Ill ask Manager Tang to send a man to keep an eye on her. Shell be fine. Nian Junting paused slightly, then nced at Xiao Si with scorn and continued, This is why you cant get a girlfriend. She will goes to the bar and get half drunk, then someone else will get a chance.

 Chapter 309. He Didnt Want Her to Carry Him in Her Arms

    Chapter 309. He Didn''t Want Her to Carry Him in Her Arms


    Xiao Sis mouth was gaping. After a while, he said, F*ck!


    It was 11:30pm. Luo Sang was at the bar with Ji Nuanyi. The two of them reminisced about the times they had worked together, and they slowly finished an entire bottle of wine.


    When they walked back to their rooms, Luo Sang felt a little light-headed. She was a lightweight in the first ce, and she was feeling tipsy from the wine. Back in the room, she prepared to shower seeing that Nian Junting wasnt back yet. When she saw flower petals ced beside the bathtub, she couldnt resist taking a hot bath. As she admired the night scene from the bathtub, she slowly sobered up, but she felt an overwhelming sense of sleepiness.


    Thinking about what happened during the day, she thought about how the bathroom was designed with an open concept, and she didnt want Nian Junting to catch her in such apromising situation. She decided to quickly dry and dress before he came back. As she put on the bathrobe and dried her hair, she heard a series of footsteps entering the living room.


    Careful easy careful, Xiao Sis voice could be heard.


    She twisted her hair into a bun and walked out of the bathroom. Xiao Si was propping Nian Junting on the couch, and Nian Junting looked like he had had one too many drinks. His jacket was strewn to the side, and his shirt was unbuttoned at the top, revealing his sexy chest.


    What happened, Brother Xiao? Luo Sang asked anxiously.


    Xiao Si turned to look at her, and a wave of heat spread through his body. Luo Sang was wearing a pink robe, and her skin looked radiant and soft. Parts of her hair were framing her petite face, and he could smell the bath lotion on her skin. Any normal man would be mesmerized by her. He chanted a Buddhist scripture in his mind and prayed for Luo Sang in his head.


    Nian Junting had purposely drunk a little too much, and now, he was acting like he waspletely drunk. He obviously had other intentions in mind. Luo Sang, you wont be able to escape tonight.


    We were at a business meeting at the club, and one of the bosses kept toasting us. We didnt bring our assistants along, so we had to drink up ourselves. Tingting isnt such a great drinker, so he got drunk quite quickly. Xiao Si sighed in pretense.


    You take care of him. Im quite dizzy, too, so Im going to head to bed. Xiao Si stumbled out.


    When she heard the door click shut, Luo Sang walked towards Nian Junting, and she shook him gently, Junting, wake up.


    Hmm, Sangsang. Nian Junting peeped through his mostly-shut eyes. His vision was a little blurry, so he shook his head vigorously. When he caught sight of Luo Sang, he was overwhelmed with a wave of heat. The woman in front of him was bending over, and he could see her cleavage through the low neckline. She was wearing a bra, and it was a magnificent sight.


    Nian Junting stuttered, Sang sang, you are so beautiful.


    It was rare for her to see him in such a stupor, and she burst outughing. Let me carry you in my arms to the bedroom.


    He didnt want her to carry him in her arms. I I dont want that, just give me a hand.


    No, I need to carry you in my arms. Ive carried you before, and you said so yourself that I was as strong as a bull.


    Luo Sang smiled slyly and started lifting him up.

 Chapter 310. Im Your Elder Sister, so How Can You Hold Me to Sleep?

    Chapter 310. I''m Your Elder Sister, so How Can You Hold Me to Sleep?


    She hadnt worked as a carer for too long, so her strength wasnt as good as before.


    When he was turned by her, Nian Junting suffered an awful dizziness that made him want to die.


    The most humiliating moment of his life was when Luosang carried him in her arms.


    Today, he was seventy percent drunk. He was able to drink a lot in the past though, so today, even though he was feeling a little dizzy, his mind stayed clear.


    When he came in, he pretended to bepletely drunk, so if he suddenly became clear-minded again, Luosang would know that he had been pretending.


    Therefore, no matter how ashamed he felt, he had to keep pretending.


    Luosang carried him to the door with great effort. She looked like she was about to exhaust herself.


    She regretted deciding to carry him. She had overestimated herself.


    Have you gained weight? Youre as heavy as a pig, Luosang murmured. She thought that he might not be able to memorize the things that happened tonight, as he was drunk.


    I I didnt gain weight Nian Juntings dry voice sounded a little childish, How could I gain weight? My body is just perfect with no extra fat and efficient muscles.


    How can you stay so narcissistic even when youre drunk? Are you really drunk? Or are you pretending? asked Luosang.


    Nian Juntings heart missed a beat. He let out a breath reeking of booze at her face, saying, Of course Im not drunk. Im perfectly sober. I can take ten more bottles.


    Just keep bragging. Luosang clenched her teeth and put him on therge bed. Since she tried too hard, her body leaned forward and ended up getting dragged into his arms.


    Besides the smell of alcohol, the scent of male hormones had also been radiating from his body.


    Luosang blushed, and she hurriedly tried to get up. However, Nian Junting wrapped his limbs around her like an octopus.


    He coiled his long legs around her waist while whispering with the deep and hoarse voice, Dont go, Luo, I dont want you to go.


    This posture nearly gave Luosang a mental breakdown.


    Nian Junting was underneath her. She was lying upon him, hands by his face, and his legs were wrapping around her waist.


    She hadnt slept with any man yet, but she knew how it might happen.


    Wasnt this a sex position?


    However, their positions were reversed. She was on top of him.


    Now, she believed that he was really drunk. Otherwise, how would this proud man let her be on top?


    Let go of me. Ill be right next door. Luosang tried to persuade him with a gentle voice, as if he was a child.


    No. I want to hold you to sleep. Nian Junting put his arms around her neck. His eyes sparkled like stars.


    Luosangs heart raced, and her face blushed crimson.


    She finally understood why so many men would feel it hard to resist when a woman put her arms around their necks from underneath them.


    It turned out that a man could be tempting too when his arms were around your neck.


    And the man underneath Luosang was way too handsome and charming.


    Normally, this man was standing high above the masses, but now, he was just proud and adorable.


    Stop. Im your elder sister, so how can you hold me to sleep? Luosang had a wicked idea. She lied to him, You used to call me Sister Sang.


    Nian Junting felt a little speechless.


    This woman is really evil. She thinks Im wasted. When did I call her Sister Sang? Xiao Si called her that.


    Luo Youre lying. Im drunk But I can clearly remember that youre my woman Nian Junting turned around and pinned her down.


    Luosang gave a start. She tried to sit up, but his legs, which were upon her, were as heavy as stones.


    Im dead. I went for wool and came home shorn.

 Chapter 311. Luoluo, Dont Leave Me

    Chapter 311. Luoluo, Don''t Leave Me


    After being flipped to the bottom, her waistband was loosened, and the bathrobe hugged her limply. She quickly tried to excuse herself before anything else was revealed.


    Dont lie on top of me. Let me go get you a warm towel to clean your face.


    No, Luoluo, I feel so nauseous and dizzy. Nian Junting copsed on top of her, and then he buried his face into the nape of her neck and breathed beside her ear. It was her sensitive spot. She immediately felt a wave of heat overwhelm her, building from her lower abdomen.


    Dont dont Luo Sang whimpered. Her voice was sweet like honey and irresistible.


    Luoluo, dont leave me. Sleep with me tonight. Nian Junting started to undress. Before Luo Sang could react, his shirt was thrown aside, and her bathrobe was as good as gone. She was about to resist him when he started nting kisses all over her body. Although she had already sobered up, she was still slightly buzzed, and everything was moving slower tonight. She began to drift in and out of consciousness as he continued to trail down her body with his warm lips.


    Dont worry, Luoluo, I wont prate you tonight. If I do, I am a bast*rd. I am a man of my word. He groaned into her lips and beside her ears as his hot hands traveled up along the curve of her waist.


    Luo Sang was overwhelmed, and she felt the warmth spreading all over her body, his temperature adding to hers. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and pulled it towards his member. Luo Sang was shocked. Although she had touched it before in the past when she took care of him, she had never gripped it so tightly and intimately. He wasnt lying about how impressive his size was. She was taken aback by his member, but he didnt notice her surprise.


    He didnt prate her that night, but they did everything in between. She was absolutely embarrassed.


    At 1am, Nian Juntingid next to her and drifted off to sleep. He had never felt this sort of exhration before in his life. He was a man touched by his woman now.


    Luo Sang was wide awake, although she was physically drained. Especially her hands. She didnt want to think about what had just happened. It was apletely new experience for her. She never thought she would be the type to do something like that, but this guy was so insistent, she had sumbed to him in the heat of the moment


    The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt, and she bit down on the arm that was circled around her.


    Hey Luoluo, Im beat, Ill give it to you tomorrow, Nian Junting mumbled as he stroked her cheeks.


    This guy was so thick. She wasnt trying to suggest anything more scandalous.


    Let me go, Im going to wash my hands, Luo Sang pleaded desperately.


    Wash them tomorrow. We can wash up together. He kissed her shoulders and hugged her tighter.


    What a joke. If she had the chance to get out of bed, she would run back to her room immediately.


    He wanted to hug her to sleep all night. It would be wonderful, two naked bodies against each other. Luo Sang had no more left within her to protest. His arm was as heavy as lead, and she resigned herself to sleeping beside him.

 Chapter 312. My Body is As Perfect As Davids

    Chapter 312. My Body is As Perfect As David''s


    Every time she closed her eyes, what happenedst night would rey in her mind like slides. The scenes reemerged in her head one after another, and every one of those images made her eyes turn red, and her heart race.


    Atst, she slowly fell asleep because it waste, and she was exhausted.


    In the morning, the sheer curtain fluttered gently.


    Nian Junting woke up first.


    He opened his eyes to find Luosang in his arms. The nket covered their bodies, only exposing their shoulders. His skin had an olive color, while hers was as white as milk. She lied on her side. Half of her shiny, ck hair was spread on therge bed; the other half coiled on her arm.


    Under the nket, their skin clung tightly.


    He felt a sweetness from his heart.


    So this is how a man will feel when sleeping together with a woman.


    Recalling that thest few times when they slept together was with their clothes on, he now felt that that was so not intimate.


    He remembered that when he was a soldier, he had two friends in the army who were a couple of years older than him. Every time they went on vacation, they would get anxious to go home so they could sleep together with their wives.


    Sleeping was a good thing, but sleeping like this was even better.


    Nian Junting lowered his head to gently kiss Luosangs hair.


    At that moment, Luosangs eyshes moved slightly. Seeing that she was about to open her eyes, Nian Junting hurriedly lied back down, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.


    Luosang woke up, finding herself in a strange,rge bed.


    Through the French window, she saw the blue sky.


    Her back was clinging to a warm chest.


    She slept tight, because she was too tiredst night. It took her a while to recall that she wasnt in the t near her school, and instead, she traveled to Shanghai with Nian Junting yesterday, andst night, they


    Her face immediately turned red.


    She decided to sneak out before he woke up.


    Even if she failed to do so, she should at least put some clothes on.


    However, she tried for a while but failed. Even worse, something that was pressing against her back was rising again.


    She froze.


    Luo, are you trying to seduce me so early in the morning? A manszy voice was heard.


    Luosang wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. She spent some effort trying to pull his hands away, then she wrapped herself up with the nket and sat up, angrily looking back.


    She was going toin, but once she saw him, she was dumbfounded.


    Just now, she wrapped herself with the nket, but didnt notice that she had taken away a big half of the nket which covered Nian Juntings body. At that moment, only his lower legs were still covered in the nket, while the rest of his body was entirely exposed.


    She had seen his body multiple times, but now, she was in a different situation.


    Luo, if you want to see my body, just tell me. You know exactly how many scars I have anyway. Nian Junting didnt pull the nket back, but turned his body and rested his chin on his palm, as he believed that he would look more charming this way.


    Who wants to see your body? Luosang blushed scarlet while trying to cover his body with the nket.


    As she tried to cover part of his body, he reached out an arm and pulled her toward him.


    Then, he sat up, arms around her waist, looking as proud as a peacock. Before, some people said that my body is as perfect as Davids. Are you satisfied with it?


    Dont make me sick so early in the morning. Luosang rolled her eyes.


    Are you pregnant? But I dont think I prated youst night, Nian Junting joked.


    Werent you drunkst night? Luosang turned back alertly.

 Chapter 313. I Wont Let You Down in This Lifetime

    Chapter 313. I Won''t Let You Down in This Lifetime


    I was drunk, but how could I possibly forget what happenedst night? Especially what happenedst night? Nian Junting tilted her chin towards him. Her face was flushed with embarrassment as he looked into her eyes with intensity. I would never forget our first time


    That wasnt our first time, nothing happened between us. Luo Sang was going mad. She was extremely flustered.


    I know, I meant the first time we were so intimate. Nian Juntings lips curled into a smile. Why are your cheeks so hot? Are you embarrassed? Theres nothing to be embarrassed about. You should get used to this sooner rather thanter.


    She was at a loss for words and lowered her head shyly.


    Dont worry, Luoluo, I will be responsible for you. I wont let you down in this lifetime, Nian Junting said affectionately.


    Luo Sang was taken aback. She felt a wave of emotion overwhelm her. After a while, she silently nestled her head into his chest. If she didnt like him for real, she wouldnt have gone so far with him the night before. It was going to happen, anyway. She could start preparing herself.


    She couldnt help but think about their disparity in terms of their social standing as shey in his arms. He came from such an impressive background, unlike her Would they really have a happy ending?


    Why are you so quiet? Are you touched by what I said? Nian Junting leaned forward to kiss her lips.


    I havent brushed my teeth Luo Sang pulled away. She was concerned about her stale morning breath.


    Neither have I. Nian Junting nibbled on the lobe of her ear and said seriously, Luoluo, I want you again


    Luo Sang turned quickly to climb out of the bed, but Nian Junting pulled her closer with his strong arms.


    I dont want you! Luo Sang shouted.


    I want you, though, Nian Junting whispered pitifully in her ear as he continued to kiss her fervently.


    My hand is sore, Luo Sang protested.


    My hand isnt. I can do the work today. He leaped at the opportunity.


    Work, what work? Was he going to Before Luo Sang could reply, Nian Juntings hands had already crept down slyly.


    Dont dont Luo Sang stiffened up like a nk before she started writhing around.


    Dont? Nain Junting nced at her quickly.


    Women are all like that. They preach one thing but act differently. Shes obviously enjoying herself, writhing and groaning, Nian Junting thought to himself.


    Her legs were cooperating with his advances. He loved her antics. He knew she wanted this, although she was protesting verbally. He would never have to worry about theck of excitement in bed with her.


    When Luo Sang let out a loud moan at the end, he insisted that she return the favor, and she was made to satisfy his needs as well.


    At the buffet.


    Xiao Si had dialed Nian Juntings cellphone twice without any response. He cursed him in his mind. How feverish had things gottenst night for him to be knocked out until now, or was he doing part two in the morning?


    Good morning, Mr. Xiao Si. Ady sat opposite him. Ji Nuanyi was wearing a knitted turtleneck dress and carrying a baby pink coat on her arm. A pair of decorative sses sat on the bridge of her defined nose, and she was wearing a red lip with her hair up in a bun. She looked edgy and sweet at the same time.


    Xiao Si paused. He quickly put down his phone and said, Morning. Im not sure what you like for breakfast, so I took a little bit of everything. These are all healthier options. I know celebrities are hardcore calorie counters.

 Chapter 314. Mr. Xiao is Much More Handsome than You, And He has Dimples

    Chapter 314. Mr. Xiao is Much More Handsome than You, And He has Dimples


    Ji Nuanyi nced at the table, saw ck truffle xiaolongbaos,yer cakes, crab powder xiaolongbaos, fried bread sticks, sandwiches and other dishes


    Eh Mr. Xiao, are you trying to gain weight Ji Nuanyi asked in an indirect way.


    Xiao Si picked himself a crab powder xiaolongbao while saying, Is there a problem? I wont get fat by eating this.


    Ji Nuanyi took a sip of milk, then said, Mr. Xiao, I want to talk with you about Yu Xi.


    That is the n of our Shengting. You may take a look. Xiao Si pushed the contract to her and replied, I know that Yi Group is nning on purchasing Yu Xi as well. To be honest, Yi Group is a filmpany itself, so once they purchase you, therell be no ce for the owner of Yu Xi. However, Shengting is different. We are intending to set foot into the entertainment circle, but we dont have any rtive experiences. After purchasing you, we wont kick your boss out. On the contrary, well give him twenty percent of the shares.


    Ji Nuanyi was tempted. Mr. Xiao, you are very frank, she said.


    Ms. Ji, if you can make this happen, youll be able to purchase Yu Xis share as well. Well sell twenty percent of the shares to the artists who are working for thepany. Xiao Sis pale face showed shallow dimples.


    Ms. Ji, you and Zhong Yi arepetitors. If you work for the Yi Group as well, will they give you the best resources? Besides, as far as I know, there are still three years to go until your contact with Yu Xi expires, am I right?


    Ji Nuanyi nodded, put the contract into her purse, and responded with, Your offer is very tempting. Ill try my best to persuade my boss


    Ji Nuanyi, no wonder you were sitting so close with the people from Shengting yesterday. Youre not going to help them buy Yu Xi, are you? Yu Shengyous voice was suddenly heard from behind.


    Ji Nuanyi turned back and found Yu Shengyou and his manager standing behind her.


    None of your business, Ji Nuanyi said coldly.


    Yu Shengyou pointed at Ji Nuanyis nose and said angrily, Good for you, Ji Nuanyi. Last night, Ms. Liu arranged for us to enter the venue together, yet I didnt even see a trace of you. And during the party, you sat together with Xu Luosang, and you teased me on purpose. Are you afraid that I might tell Ms. Liu about all this?


    Xiao Si frowned.


    Ji Nuanyi abruptly stood up and responded with, Go tell him. Why should I be afraid of you? Yu Shengyou, I clearly know how many dirty tricks youve yed behind my back. Besides, Mr. Xiao here is much more handsome than you. He has dimples, and he looks like an innocent, yet mature boy. Im telling the truth. Do you disagree? If you do, justpare yourself with him.


    You Yu Shengyou nced at Xiao Si. He didnt know Xiao Si, but he knew that Xiao Si was with Nian Juntingst night.


    Dont point at her. Its impolite. Xiao Si stood up and pushed aside Yu Shengyous finger, which was pointing at Ji Nuance.


    He had rarely met a girl whoplimented his appearance like Ji Nuanyi just did, so without a doubt, he wouldnt let anyone bully her.


    Ji Nuanyi, just wait and see! Yu Shengyou gave Ji Nuanyi a warning nce, then left with anger.


    Ji Nuanyi snorted, then sat back down and said to Xiao Si apologetically, Im sorry, Mr. Xiao. He and I never liked each other.


    I can tell. Xiao Si rubbed his chin and replied, Yesterday, I saw him with Yi Jingxi.


    Yu Shengyou has always been quite close with the Yi Group. Recently, he has epted the job offer of a TV series which is invested in by the Yi Group. Hell be the leading actor. We have the same manager, but our manager treats him better.

 Chapter 315. Starved Until Her Stomach Cramped

    Chapter 315. Starved Until Her Stomach Cramped


    Ji Nuanyi shrugged. He has a huge part to y in the Yi Groups acquisition of Yu Xi Film. Did I forget to tell you? He holds three percent of Yu Xi Films shares.


    I get it now. Miss Ji is giving me an insider tip. Xiao Si smiled happily.


    In the Lakeview suite.


    Luo Sang walked out of the shower and noticed her legs were a little sore. When she checked in the bathroom, she saw a bit of her skin had chafed. Her thighs were red and angry-looking. It must have been from too much friction. She wished that she could stay in the bathroom forever every time she thought about what had happened earlier.


    How did he have all that vitality and energy? She was baffled. They did it oncest night and spent another good hour doing it this morning. They werent even doing the real thing. They probably would never have gotten out of bed if they had really done it.


    In the living room, Nian Junting was sprawled confidently on the sofa. It hadnt taken long for him to clean himself up. His hair was gelled, and he looked energetic and radiant. When she walked into the room, she felt his piercing gaze fixed on her like a predator eyeing its prey.


    Luoluo, are you hungry? Nian Junting asked.


    Yeah, Im really hungry. Luo Sang let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he didnt say anything too embarrassing.


    Yeah, if you had agreed to shower with me earlier, we could have saved so much time. We would have been at breakfast by now, and you wouldnt beining about being hungry, Nian Junting said matter of factly.


    She had underestimated him. He was shameless, pinning his hopes on showering together after the entire morning of events.


    Dont you think that you should order breakfast for yourdy when she tells you that shes hungry? Why did all the romantic and movie-like gestures disappear the moment they got here? Youve only been taking advantage of me so far, anyway, Luo Sang said indignantly. She was getting upset. This was the first time she had been treated like this by a man, starved until her stomach cramped. He was still busy thinking about how to take further advantage of her. Before she realized it, tears were welling up in her eyes.


    Nian Junting had only seen her cry once before, and that was at the hospital. It all happened so quickly, he wondered if she was crying out of hunger. He was at a loss for what to do. I only raised the subject because I was afraid that you would be hungry.


    Luo Sang red at him. He was still going on about his lies.


    Nian Junting looked away sheepishly and stood up. Ill call the restaurant and ask them to deliver breakfast. Its so ridiculous that they dont offer room service here, especially for the price we paid for this suite. How can they starve my girl like this? Were nevering back here again.


    He started dialing their number on the in-room telephone. When the line connected, he started scolding the receptionist on the other end before she could even greet him. The girl replied hesitantly, I thought you instructed us not to deliver breakfast this morning and not to disturb your rest?


    Fine, Ill let it go since youve realized your mistake. Dontmit this kind of error again. Bring breakfast up. My girlfriend is starving.


    He hung up before the receptionist could say another word. He looked up and said, The hotel said that they will be delivering food very soon. Dont be mad at me anymore. If youre really hungry, there are instant noodles here. I can make some for you.

 Chapter 316. Compared with Me, Yi Jingxi is Just Inexperienced

    Chapter 316. Compared with Me, Yi Jingxi is Just Inexperienced


    She wasnt so hungry, but was instead mad at him.


    Ignoring him, she turned and poured herself a ss of warm water.


    Luo


    Nian Junting walked to her, looking down at her with a serious expression, saying, I didnt break my promise, I didnt


    Alright, stop it, Luosang interrupted him. If he continued, she would blush again.


    Why? Are you shy? Nian Junting held her hands, snorted, and continued, Last night, when you carried me in your arms, why werent you shy? And you told me that you were my elder sister. What kind of sister would hold her brother and moan like that?


    Luosang threw off his hands and covered her own face.


    If she knew that he would remember everything, even when he was drunk, she would never do what she didst night.


    Alright, enough about that, she changed the topic, Last night, Mr. Cheng talked about Yi Jingxi and my family. How does he know those details? Did you tell him?


    Of course, Nian Junting replied. We need more people to know how much harm youve suffered, so that theyll find out that Yi Jingxi is a hypocrite. Hell fall into disrepute. If everyone knows that hes a back-stabber, wholl believe him? And wholl be willing to cooperate with him?


    I really do admire you. Last night, you made it so real. Luosang gave Nian Junting a thumbs-up, saying, Yi Jingxi was so angry at youst night. You, alone, are as powerful as apany.


    Youre wrong. My oldpany in the army is rather strong. Im notparable to it. Nian Junting talked humbly, yet his face wore an obvious proud look. Compared with me, Yi Jingxi is just inexperienced.


    If the party didnt end so soon, he would make Yi Jingxi kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.


    Nian Junting hated Yi Jingxi because thetter used to date his woman; this hatred wouldst, even after he died.


    But of course, he couldnt tell Luosang so, because if he did, she might see him as a narrow-minded man.


    Luo, were you happyst night? What happenedst night was just an appetizer, Nian Junting held Luosangs hands, then said, He destroyed you once, so Im gonna make him pay for that bit by bit. Unfortunately, I cant destroy Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi right away. I wanted to finish Zhong Yi as soon as possible, but I didnt think that Yi Jingxi hae been protecting her that well throughout the years. Theres no damaging information about her, and shes never been yed by any hidden rule. She went all the way straight to the top with the support of Yi Group.


    Enough. Luosang waved a hand. Once hearing Zhong Yis name, she felt a fire burning inside her heart.


    Are you jealous of Zhong Yi? Nian Juntings voice suddenly became cold.


    Luosang was startled by him. Why should I be jealous of her? She said, Im just mad because I lost to someone like that.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting showed a better look, saying, Theres no winning and losing. After all, Yi Jingxi is problematic.


    Thats true. Luosang nodded and said, Last night, we sat next to Yi Jingxi. You told the organizer to arrange the seats that way, didnt you?


    Yeah, he responded.


    Luosang sighed and continued, He was so angryst night. I guess he believed that he could keep controlling me and bullying me, but never thought that I could meet someone better than him.


    Nian Junting smiled and stayed silent.


    His woman was smart, and was a good student, but her EQ was a mess.


    Yi Jingxi wasnt only angryst night. Most importantly, he was sad. However, Luosang didnt notice how pale his face was.

 Chapter 317. I Do Like What We Did Last Night as Well

    Chapter 317. I Do Like What We Did Last Night as Well


    It was for the best that she didnt know. He would allow her to believe that Yi Jingxi had been manipting her from the start and never once liked her.


    After about ten minutes, the waiter served the room service breakfast order. It was the most luxurious set in the hotel with arge variety andrge portion size. Luo Sang was famished. She inhaled a basket of xiaolongbao quickly along with a bowl of wantons. She then proceeded to gobble down a sunny side up egg, a slice of bacon, a ss of milk, and a bowl of fruit sd.


    After her tummy was full and satisfied, she looked up to catch Nian Junting staring at her with a strange expression. She blushed and said, What are you looking at? Dont you already know about my voracious appetite? Its already ten oclock. I usually have my breakfast much earlier at seven.


    Its alright to eat more. I can afford it, anyway. Nian Junting sipped his coffee casually. Im more curious about the reason behind why you have such poor stamina in bed despite your excessive diet.


    Nian Junting blinked innocently. Youre always saying that youre tired, and you dont have the strength


    Shut up, stop right there. Luo Sangs ears were turning red, and she quickly stuffed a piece of bread into his gaping mouth. If she didnt stop him then, she was sure that he would re-enact the entire dialogue.


    Nian Junting continued after chewing, Seems like diet isnt the problem here. You need more exercise. I think I have to move in with you, after all. We can wake up at six in the morning to exercise together. If you have a problem with that, we can do it at night as well. I can bend my schedule around yours.


    Luo Sang said with frustration, Ive only just moved in with Yan Su. How inconvenient would it be for her if you move in? Exercise every day? She would never believe him if he said he meant normal exercising.


    Thats true, you do scream very loudly. Itll be awkward if Yan Su hears you. You have two choices, move out and stay with me, or ask Yan Su to move out. I would rent a luxurious mansion for her, Nian Junting said seriously.


    Fat chance, Luo Sang said simply. She realized that she shouldnt even give this man a taste of goodness. It would just leave him wanting more and more.


    Who was screaming loudly? She wanted to punch him.


    Youve said so much. Are you just trying to get me to do that with you every morning? Luo Sang red at him.


    Who says? Nian Junting denied promptly. I do like what we didst night as well.


    Luo Sang was really resisting the urge to punch him. Whats the difference between what we didst night and this morning?


    Of course theres a difference, Nian Junting answered her seriously. One was with hands, the other with legs, its a different kind of excitement


    I cant be bothered to talk to you, Im going to use the bathroom. Luo Sang was going to explode with embarrassment.


    As she walked towards the bathroom, Nian Junting called out behind her, If you poop after you eat and eat right after you poop, that will make you resemble a certain animal. I like that though


    Luo Sang stomped her foot in despair and chose to ignore him. What a swine with such a low EQ! Couldnt he tell that she was hiding in the bathroom out of embarrassment?


    When she emerged from the bathroom, she didnt feel like talking to him anymore. She fiddled with her phone with her head down.


    Did I do something wrong? Nian Junting sounded confused and earnest. Is it because I talked about the hands and the legs?


    Lets go find Brother Xiao. He must be pretty bored by himself by now, Luo Sang interrupted him and changed the topic. She had had enough of talking about the hands and the legs.

 Chapter 318. You Look Like Someone from the Comic Books

    Chapter 318. You Look Like Someone from the Comic Books


    Why do you care about his feelings? Youre my woman, Nian Junting frowned with discontent and said, Besides, isnt Ji Nuanyi with him?


    Even that can make him unhappy. Hes so sensitive. She closed her eyes to recall what he did for herst night, then forced a smile and exined, Last night, Nuanyi told me that she needed to work in the morning at ten, so I guess she has left by now.


    So what? Xiao Si can spend some time alone. Hes got friends in Shanghai anyway, said Nian Junting. Were flying back tonight, so where should we hang out?


    Luosang sighed, then said, If you keep doing this, sooner orter youll have no friends.


    Thats not gonna happen. Xiao Si wont leave me, not even if I made him, he said.


    If one day, he tried to leave, what would you do? she asked.


    He wouldnt dare, he replied.


    Luosang silently picked up her purse, then said, Anyhow, lets go find him.


    Nian Junting seemed to be pretty unhappy, but still, he followed Luosang out.


    While walking out, Nian Junting took out his phone and found that Xiao Si had called him. As he prepared to call him back and ask where he was, he suddenly saw Xiao Si in the corridor before him, facing a mirror, bearing his teeth while turning his face from time to time to observe himself.


    Si, what are you doing? Luosang walked up and asked curiously.


    Ah, I just found that I have a pair of dimples, Xiao Si responded happily, as if he had discovered a new world, I looked in the mirror just now, and found that Im pretty handsome.


    Luosang felt that Xiao Si was acting so much like Nian Junting right now.


    Nian Junting frowned and said, Are you sick? Let me send you to a hospital.


    Luosang gave Nian Junting an angry stare. Youre even sicker, so how could you say that to Xiao Si?


    Si, havent you always had dimples? Your smile is amiable, and you look like a boy from andscape painting.


    I do? Xiao Sis eyes glowed. Recently, Tingting has been depreciating me too cruelly. I was upset, but after hearing what you said, Im confident again.


    Hearing that, Luosang understood him. Indeed, living under Nian Juntings mean words wasnt an easy thing.


    Hows your talk with Nuanyi? she asked.


    Not back, Xiao Si nodded and said, Our offer is way better than the Yi Groups. Dont worry. This time, the Yi Group wont have a chance.


    Si, were going to hang out. Do you wannae? Luosang gently invited him to hang out with her and Nian Junting.


    Xiao Si was going to nod, but before doing so, he suddenly received a gaze from beside him which contained a feeling of strong hostility. He was so frightened that even his tongue twitched.


    I dont think so, he said. I still have something to do. You go. Later, well have dinner together, and then head to the airport.


    Alright then, she said.


    After going separate ways from Xiao Si, Nian Junting suddenly turned back to re at Luosang with a grumpy look, then asked, A boy from andscape painting? How could youpliment another man like that in front of me? I have never heard you use such nice words on me.


    Luosang sighed. Ever since he became her boyfriend, she felt that he was turning younger and younger.


    Are you still a boy? she asked.


    Nian Junting opened his mouth, but didnt say anything.


    Of course, he was a boy. However, admitting that he was a twenty-nine year old boy would be shameful.


    Alright. You said that he looks like a boy from andscape painting. Then what kind of paint am I from? Tell me seriously, he said.


    Luosang struggled for a moment. She raised her head to look at his perfectly handsome face, then said, You look like someone from theic books. The boys fromndscape paintings are clean-looking, but the men fromic books are the dram of all girls.

 Chapter 319. What Kind of Guys Are the Male Leads in Youth Comics?

    Chapter 319. What Kind of Guys Are the Male Leads in Youth Comics?


    Nian Junting was stunned. All the men inics are hot-blooded.


    Luo Sang frowned. Im not talking about the kind ofics that men read, Im talking about girlyics. Thats enough, go figure it out yourself. She walked forward quickly with a light step.


    Nian Junting frowned. Women liked to put up an air of mystery around them. He had never read a youthic before. He might not even fully understand or appreciate it. He quickly caught up with her. Where do you want to go?


    Ive been to many ces in Shanghai before. Theres nothing in particr that I want to see or do. We could go to Disnend. Ive never been there before, Luo Sang suggested.


    Whats so fun about Disnend? Nian Junting knitted his brows Its the weekend, and it will be so crowded. You are quite peculiar. Girls your age are always thinking about going to malls to shop. No one enjoys the amusement park anymore.


    You seem to know women quite well, Luo Sang said with a tense smile.


    Im talking about my friends. Every time I try to ask them out, theyll tell me that they have to apany their girlfriends to go shopping. Nian Junting looked at her with desperation. Luoluo, you never ever want to spend my money. What will I do with all that money, leave it for my children? Then youll really have to give birth to a lot of them.


    Luo Sang blushed. She couldnt believe he was talking to her about childbearing again. His conversations always leaped to topics rted to that.


    I havent liked shopping since I was young. I am happy as long as I have enough to clothe myself. I enjoy doing things with my loved ones that we both enjoy, Luo Sang said cheekily as she grabbed his arm.


    When she said, my loved ones, Nian Junting felt butterflies in his stomach. Alright then, he didnt mindpromising, since she loved him so much.


    On the way there in thepany car, Nian Junting texted Nian Xi, What kind of guys are the male leads in youthics?


    Nian Xi answered, Extremely handsome and dashing.


    Nian Junting nced over at Luo Sang, who was sitting next to him, and grinned cockily.


    Why are you looking at me like that? Luo Sang felt ufortable being stared at like that.


    No reason. Nian Junting turned away. She thought that he was extremely handsome and dashing. Forget it, he would not hold it against Xiao Si for acting like a child.


    At Disnend, the chauffeur bought them express tickets to save them from waiting in line. Nian Junting studied the pamphlet and highlighted a couple of exciting rides. He suggested them to Luo Sang, and unlike other cowardly girls, she dly agreed to check them out. She was thrilled by the rides and emerged from every attraction more adrenaline-pumped than before.


    Nian Junting was unhappy. After emerging from Soaring Over the Horizon, he realized that most of the tourists in line were happy couples hugging each other tightly, sharing drinks, and holding hands. They were taking their time to enjoy each others presence in the long line. He frowned, and when they arrived at the next rollercoaster, he grabbed her hand and said, Lets go wait in line.


    Why? The line is so long! We bought express tickets for a reason. Luo Sang was bbergasted.


    I want to experience the life of an average Joe.


    Luo Sang was speechless. The people in line would probably beat him up if they heard him. Whatever, but I think the line takes about 40 to 50 minutes. Are you mentally prepared?


    Yup.


    Before they started waiting in line, he bought her an ice cream cone and refused to buy one for himself, despite Luo Sang asking him repeatedly. As they waited in line, he was happily licking her ice cream cone.

 Chapter 320. I Want to Be Like A Normal Couple with You

    Chapter 320. I Want to Be Like A Normal Couple with You


    Didnt you say that you dont want it? Luosang didnt understand.


    Nian Junting smiled and responded, I like to taste your saliva.


    Hearing what he said, the couple next to them immediately turned to them with a weird look.


    Luosang blushed instantly.


    The people waiting in the line were pretty close to each other, yet he didnt lower his voice at all.


    Here, you have it. I dont want it anymore. Luosang pushed the ice-cream to him.


    Nian Junting refused and said, Why would I eat it if theres none of your saliva on it? I dont even like ice-cream.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She believed that no one else could make the saliva-eating thing sound so reasonable.


    After finishing the ice-cream, Nian Junting suggested, Lets take selfies. You see, many couples are doing it. We dont even have couple pictures.


    While speaking, he took out her phone and started taking selfies.


    At first, they leaned their heads together, and slowly, they put their faces together. Afterward, Nian Junting told Luosang to kiss his cheek, and atst, he directly ordered her to kiss his lips.


    Luosang couldnt do it, as she felt that more and more people were looking at them.


    Both of them were good-looking, especially him who was tall and well-dressed. He looked outstanding in the line, that since he started waiting in the queue, many girls had already been sneakily looking at him.


    At that moment, almost everyone was eyeing him and Luosang.


    Alright, stop taking pictures. Everybody is looking at us. Luosang pulled his hands down and said in a low voice, Well take kissing pictures after going back, alright?


    Im used to getting stared at since childhood, Nian Junting said carelessly. However, her soft tone of speaking nearly melted his heart.


    Well take the pictures after going backthats a deal. Now, lets check the pictures we just took. He put his hands under her arms, then held her and checked the pictures together with her.


    This one is good, so is this one. Youre pretty in this picture, and in this one


    Hearing him, Luosang blushed again. No, she said, I dont think this one is good enough. I dont look good enough in the cheek-kissing one.


    Dont be strict with yourself. I said that youre pretty, so you are. I allow you to choose one from these pictures for your screen. After saying that, Nian Junting began struggling. But which one? I look perfect in every picture. I didnt notice it before, but now, I find that being perfect can be annoying sometimes.


    You allowed that, but I didnt agree, did I? asked Luosang.


    Nian Junting ignored her and said, This one. Ill set your screensaver preference for you.


    Luosang was speechless. She found that in addition to his narcissism, he now had a new skill that allowed him topletely ignore what others said.


    Forty minutester, they were still waiting in the line. Luosang even got sore legs, so she couldnt help butin. We got a free pass, so why are we waiting here? I really want to sit down somewhere.


    Youre being spoiled by me, Nian Junting smiled and said, The others with general tickets are all still waiting, arent they?


    Luosang paused briefly, then felt that he was right.


    If she didnte here with Nian Junting, would she ever be willing to pay for such expensive tickets?


    If he wasnt with her, she would still be waiting in the line.


    However, as he was always with her, she had gotten used to receiving preferential treatment anywhere she went.


    Nian Junting embraced her, put his lips near her ear, and said, I wait here in the line, because I want to be like a normal couple with you. You see, there are many young couples. I want to learn from them, and I want to know how college students date.


    Knowing that, Luosang was touched.


    She sensed a warmth from her heart.


    She stoppedining and silently put her arms around his waist.


    When he was around twenty years old, he was having a rough time in the army. In university in the United States, he needed to work hard, because he was having a fresh start.

 Chapter 321. Your Okamoto Filled My Heart and Soul Completely

    Chapter 321. Your Okamoto Filled My Heart and Soul Completely


    Junting, can I ask you something? Luo Sang looked up suddenly. Have you had a girlfriend before?


    Nian Junting looked her in the eye for a while before pinching her cheek. Women, what a hassle. You guys get so hung up about all our exes.


    Luo Sang peeled his hand off her face. As if he didnt mind her ex Answer my question.


    Why do you suddenly ask? Nian Junting smiled cheekily. Of course Ive had a girlfriend before.


    Oh! Although she had already guessed his answer, she still felt ufortable and bummed. It was normal, of course. He was already 29 years old. If he had never had a girlfriend before, she would think that he was abnormal.


    I dated when I was in the military. Nian Junting paused to think and continued, I was way too swamped back then. We didnt get to see each other much. About twice a year? We mainlymunicated through phone calls.


    So, you know, he didnt have a chance to do all that with his ex. He was still a virgin. He couldnt say it in a straightforward manner, as he felt mildly ashamed. However, Luo Sang didnt get the memo and continued to probe. You can hold prolonged conversations on the phone? You are quite the conversation killer.


    We talked about war strategies, fighting techniques, Nian Junting said nonchntly.


    That was one solid gal. If it were Luo Sang, she would have hung up instantly once he started talking about boring strategies. She could tell that the girl really liked him. Luo Sang asked after a long pause, Do you still love her? She looked him in the eye as she waited intently for his reply. When you fall in love with someone, you be a very petty person.


    Not anymore. Nian Junting wrapped his hands around her bottom and smiled gently. Your Okamoto filled my heart and soulpletely. Theres no space for anything else now.


    Luo Sang frowned. Okamoto the hell? She couldnt believe that he had been thinking about it all this time. Shouldnt you say that Ipletely fill your heart and soul? Why are you always thinking about those things? Luo Sang said through gritted teeth, Also, will you stop groping me like this in public?


    You said that your legs were sore, I just wanted to give you a hand. Nian Junting looked shocked before chuckling. It doesnt make sense that Im filled by you.


    Before Luo Sang could fully understand what he was saying, his sly smile had already given it all away. You cant fill me up, right? Nian Junting looked downwards at herher area and said thoughtfully, Only I can fill you up, perfectly and tightly.


    Luo Sangs blood was bubbling, and her ears were hot. I meant your heart!


    Oh, really? You didnt make yourself clear. Nian Junting said affectionately, I misunderstood your intent.


    Luo Sang was in despair. She wanted to bite her tongue off. She knew he was a dirty and horny man.


    Thats good, though. You fill my heart, and I fill your body. Nian Junting smiled gently. He wanted to gobble her up alive.


    Luo Sang kept quiet. She was wrong. She shouldnt have asked him about his ex. Now she wished that she could dig a hole for herself. She gave up trying to resist him, and he continued to hug her with his hands on her butt.


    He held her to his body all the way to the end of the line when they boarded the rollercoaster. It had been a full 20 minutes, and Luo Sang was impressed by his resilience.


    They spent the whole day at Disnend. They only left the ce at about six in the evening. They had to miss the nighttime fireworks as they had a ne to catch at nine. Luo Sang felt slightly regretful that they had to miss such a romantic opportunity.

 Chapter 322. Whats Going on? Are You having A Fight?

    Chapter 322. What''s Going on? Are You having A Fight?


    On their way back, Nian Juntingforted her. Its alright, Ill build you an amusement park in the future.


    Luosang smiled and leaned against his chest tiredly.


    They yed the whole day, so she felt like her legs were nearly broken. She hadnt been so happy for a long time.


    During her college time in Xia City, she had only been to the amusement park once with her roommates at Tang Nings birthday. However, back at that time, she had her mind stuffed with how to regain a position in the voice-acting industry, with her father and Yi Jingxi preventing that


    Once again, she thought of Xu Zhengxuan.


    Suddenly, she felt guilty.


    These days, because of Nian Junting, she had barely thought about how rough Xu Zhengxuans life might be like in the prison.


    She didnt dare visit her father in the prison frequently, as she worried that Yi Jingxi might find her. During the summer vacation, she visited her father only once in a disguise.


    Junting she abruptly raised her face.


    What? Nian Junting looked at Luosang who seemed to have spoken, but stopped on a second thought. Are you still thinking about the fireworks?


    No, Im thinking about my father, said Luosang in aplicated tone.


    Nian Junting pressed his lips together, staying silent.


    Luosangs heart sank. But still, she sat up from his arms, made up her mind, and said, Can I ask you a favor? This is more important than revenge on Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi.


    You want me to save your father. Nian Junting raised his brows. His tone and expression slowly turned serious.


    Can you let me exin? They hadnt been together for long, but Luosang knew him well enough. As a rich and powerful man, he would never let his wealth and power be the reason for him to do whatever he wanted. He was upright, and he obeyed thews. No matter how much he loved someone, he wouldnt vite thew and his own principles for this person.


    My father went to prison because Yi Jingxi testified against him in court. Yi Jingxi imed that one day, he saw a female studente out of my fathers office with her clothes half torn off. Luosang clenched her teeth and said, If that testimony was from someone else, I might believe it, but it wasnt. It came from Yi Jingxi, who hates our family. I have many doubts, so I want you to investigate it again.


    Nian Junting slightly frowned. A whileter, he said, You might be right. If the case really has some problems, Ill do whatever I can to clear your fathers name, but If its real


    Luosang was more or less disappointed.


    Nian Juntings reaction was reasonable though. After all, he didnt know Xu Zhengxuan, so he didnt believe in himpletely, and that was absolutely normal.


    For any case, one witnesss testimony cant be the only evidence to substantiate the prison sentence, exined Nian Junting helplessly. There must be the other witnesses and all sorts of evidence. But of course, all of that can be faked. Anyway, Luo, I dont want to lie for you. I only believe in evidence. But Ill dig into it for you.


    Thank you Luosang forced a smile.


    She had said thank you to him many times, but this time, Nian Junting detected that her thank you was different from what she said before.


    It sounded too polite.


    He felt a little ufortable, and he didnt know what to say.


    The chauffeur drove to pick up Xiao Si.


    Xiao Si got into the car and immediately sensed the weird atmosphere in the car.


    He was smart enough not to make a joke as he usually would.


    After dinner, they headed to the airport. In the restroom, he took the opportunity to ask Nian Junting about it as Luosang went to the bathroom.


    Whats going on with you two? Are you having a fight?


    Not really, Nian Junting told him the whole story with simple words.

 Chapter 323. You Shouldnt Do That Anymore. Itll Make It Worse

    Chapter 323. You Shouldn''t Do That Anymore. It''ll Make It Worse


    Xiao Si frowned and said, I understand where both of you areing from. Luo Sang might just feel a little ufortable or squeamish. After all, shes a prideful girl. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to speak to you about this in the first ce. She might be a little disappointed that youck faith in her fathers character.


    Yeah, I just hoped that shed understand. Nian Junting said thoughtfully, I dont know Xu Zhengxuan well, so I cant deem him as an innocent man just because of Yi Jingxi. I only believe in hard facts and evidence.


    It wont be easy to look into the matter, Xiao Si said. There was too much controversy over that incident. Almost everyone was talking about it then. Ive seen thements online. Some people even said things like they wished they could execute the man themselves. Even the mayor of An City had to make a public statement about his position on the matter due to crowd pressure. If we dont have convincing evidence, itll be impossible to open the case again. We wouldnt want the Nian family to be implicated in the end.


    Nian Junting nodded. The worst thing a politician feared was a public controversy. Even though the Nian family was powerful and influential, there were many people who would jump at the opportunity to tear them down. If he was going to investigate the matter, he could only do it quietly.


    Lets stop talking about this, Luo Sang is here, Xiao Si reminded him gently when he saw Luo Sang emerging from the bathroom.


    Before they boarded the ne, Yan Su texted Luo Sang to tell her that she wouldnt being home that night, as she had to choreograph a dance routine at thepany.


    Yan Sus not going home tonight? Nian Junting peeked over at her phone. It wouldnt be safe for you to sleep in the apartment by yourself. Come to the vi with me.


    Whats unsafe about it? Im used to sleeping alone, Luo Sang replied in a low voice. She was still bothered about their earlier conversation.


    No one was there to worry about your safetyst time. Nian Junting grabbed her hands and intertwined his fingers with hers. If you dont want toe to the vi, I cane over to your ce tonight.


    Luo Sang knew she could only choose between those two options. If I go over to the vi, Ill have to run back to the apartment to get my textbooks in the morning. Ill end up beingte for ss Luo Sang said hesitantly.


    Alright, Ill have Lu Kang deliver my clothes to your ce tomorrow morning.


    Xiao Si took them both back to the apartment at 11:30pm. When they entered the two-room t, Luo Sang turned to look at the man behind her. Are you sure you want to stay over? Will you befortable sleeping here?


    After sleeping with you, I realized that it didnt matter to me where I was sleeping. I only care about the fact that Im sleeping with you. Nian Junting grinned and took off his jacket.


    Luo Sang looked at him and shuddered. She had a feeling that they were about to re-enact what happened that morning. Enough, not tonight. You just had your way this morning. My legs are chafed and sore.


    Why didnt you tell me that your skin was chafed? Nian Junting said with concern, Does it hurt? Do you need me to get you some bandages?


    Its ok. Itll heal by itself, but you shouldnt do that anymore. Itll make it worse. Luo Sang turned to get a drink of water.


    Its all my fault. I am too thick


    Luo Sang spit out the water in her mouth in shock and turned bright red.


    Nian Junting grinned with delight as he watched her expression. He threw his shirt to her and walked towards the master bathroom. Im going to take a shower.

 Chapter 324. She Missed Him so much that she Secretly Sniffed His Shirt

    Chapter 324. She Missed Him so much that she Secretly Sniffed His Shirt


    Luosang lowered her head to look at the shirt in her hands. A tempting, refreshing, light manly aroma lingered in her nose.


    When she first met him, she thought that he was wearing perfume. Later on, when she lived with him everyday, she found that he had this natural scent. Nowadays, many men had a smell of sweat, smoke, or alcohol, and rarely smelled as good as he did.


    Luosang couldnt help but sniff at the shirt.


    Do you have a hair drier? I want to wash my underwear and dry it Nian Junting walked out of the bathroom and saw Luosang sniffing his shirt.


    He paused slightly.


    Luosang froze. Judging by how narcissistic he was, she believed that he would go beyond himself. So she hurriedly stuttered to exin, I I just want to know if your shirt stinks, and if it needs to be washed.


    I get it. Its alright, Nian Junting blinked and replied. He told himself that Luosang loved him so much that she needed to secretly sniff his shirt to quench her craving toward him when he turned back without embracing her.


    Luosang felt so embarrassed that she even wanted to kill herself.


    Go take a shower now. Ill shower in the bathroom outside, she said.


    Alright. If you like the smell of that shirt, dont wash it. Lu Kang will send me a new shirt tomorrow, Nian Junting smiled, turned, and walked into the bathroom again.


    Afterward, he tilted his head to sniff at his own shoulder.


    He didnt catch any scent, so he didnt understand why his woman enjoyed his scent so much.


    Well, Im just too perfect. Even my scent is so good.


    After showering, Luosang went back to her bedroom, trying not to think about what had happened just before.


    However, once in, she felt that the temperature in her bedroom rose drastically, especially when she saw the slim man who was leaning against her bed, with a pink towel over his shoulder.


    Hearing her footsteps, Nian Junting raised his head, sniffed at the pink towel which belonged to Luosang, then gave an elegant smile and said, It smells so nice.


    See, I am so thoughtful. In order to save Luosang from feeling embarrassed after he caught her sniffing his shirt, he took her towel when leaving the bathroom, so she wouldnt feel shy and would be able to sniff his shirt anytime she wanted.


    Luosang felt dizzy.


    If Nian Junting wasnt so handsome, she would have seen him as a pervert.


    Stop it. Give me my towel back. The blushing Luosang took away the towel from his hands. However, after that, she only felt dizzier.


    He was only wearing a grey pair of underwear. His long and straight legs were exposed, and his crotch area was bulging. She had touched that area yesterday. He had a few scratches on his chest, all left by herst night or this morning, when she was nearly lost in pleasure.


    Luosang felt that her head was burning.


    Whydidnt you wear pants


    She didnt know what to do or where to put her eyes.


    I did. Nian Junting pulled the edge of his underwear.


    Luosang turned her face away. She decided to not look at him, as it was bedtime.


    Scooch over, Im gonna sleep. Luosang sat on the bed and pushed Nian Junting, who was sitting in the middle of the bed.


    Nian Junting smiled and asked, Arent you sleeping in Yan Sus room?


    Luosang paused.


    Then, Nian Juntingughed and continued, I thought you were going to sleep in Yan Sus bed. It seems that you want to sleep with me as well.


    If I ask to sleep in Yan Sus room, will you agree? asked Luosang. Hes so evil to make such a joke now,.


    After saying that, she angrily turned and attempted to leave.


    However, before she went far, she was lifted by Nian Junting, and put into the bed.

 Chapter 325. Let me look at your wound

    Chapter 325. Let me look at your wound


    His toned and shaped body pressed down upon her. A scalding gust of hot air assaulted her senses. Luo Sang raised her head and caught the sight of his chiseled jawline and his Adams apple as he swallowed. Perhaps he hadnt shaved in the morning. There was thin stubble on his chin, giving him an air of masculinity and maturity.


    Luo Sang held her breath momentarily, turned her gaze away, and pushed him. Get up. Im tired, and I want to sleep.


    Didnt you say I gave you an abrasion this morning? Let me look at your wound, Nian Junting said as he took in the view of the woman beneath him. Her jet-ck hair spilled over the sky-blue sheets and lined her soft, ever so radiant face. The only problem was that her clothes were barely revealing. It seemed that she was even wearing a bra. Seeing this, his eyebrows furrowed.


    Thank you, my wound is not serious. You dont have to see it. Luo Sang continued pushing his shoulders. Moreover, it might get worse if you do. After all, her abrasion was at the top of her inner thigh. Who knew if Nian Junting would be able to hold himself back at the sight?


    How can you say that? To prove my character, I must take a look. Upon saying this, he started to tug harder at her pants.


    Luo Sang wanted to break down. Despite holding onto her waistband for dear life, Nian Junting still managed to pry it from her grasp. He flung her pants away. Her pale, slender legs were raised in the air. Luo Sang was so embarrassed, her face had turned a deep crimson. Furthermore, there was a certain man trying to pry her legs apart.


    If you carry on, Im going to be angry. Luo Sang stared at him, frustrated.


    Luoluo, Im going to be angry. Nian Junting looked up with a serious expression etched on his face. Im just concerned about you.


    Luo Sang was stunned at his righteousness. With a bit of effort, he had seeded. Nian Junting looked down at her abrasion and started to study it intently. Luo Sang let her head drop and looked up at the ceiling, biting the side of her lip. She wished that a wave would just crash over her and knock her unconscious. It was in the middle of the night, and she was dressed like this, being peered at by a man. She wanted to die of embarrassment.


    Nian Junting nted a kiss on her wound as he said, Mm, Luoluo, its my fault, indeed.


    Luo Sang trembled. She wanted to withdraw her thigh, but he grasped it tightly. Nian Junting, let me go now, she said desperately. Im tired, Ive no energy to y games with you tonight.


    Im not ying games, Im just worried about you. Nian Junting threw her a sly gaze and kissed her wound a few more times.


    Luo Sang held her breath. She could not help but feel aroused. It was strange, it had only been one night, but her senses still seemed awakened.


    Luoluo, you seem to feel it. Nian Junting raised his gaze to meet hers, as deep and as mesmerizing as the Milky Way. He had hit the nail on the head. Luo Sang, who was flushed to the brim by now, craned her neck forwards to bite him. However, she did not manage to bite him. Instead, her lips were captured by his. He kissed her ferociously, and Luo Sang could only let out a quiet yelp. It was as if he had broken down the gates to her castle. She was nearly asphyxiated by his kiss.


    She could feel his intense desire, too. Opening her eyes, she saw that his forehead was drenched with sweat. She knew that he was arduously holding himself back. She did not know much, but she could tell that these things were important to men. This must also be the reason why he tried so hard to climb into bed with her.


    An indescribable feeling grew within Luo Sang, and at that moment, a strange notion shed across her mind. Since they were left with thest step, and what was done was done, was there any need to remain guarded?

 Chapter 326. She didnt Understand Why He Was Suddenly Angry

    Chapter 326. She didn''t Understand Why He Was Suddenly Angry


    And tonight, she asked him to help her father.


    He had been doing things for her the whole time while she did nothing for him. She was simply taking from him.


    With these thoughts, she slowly stopped resisting, but closed her eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.


    Nian Junting thought that she had started feeling the pleasure, so she decided to give up on fighting back but enjoy it carefully.


    But then, he felt that something wasnt right. Atst, when he almost prated her, she unexpectedly didnt try to stop him as before, but bit her lips and closed her eyes, remaining motionless.


    She seemed to be a little scared, also a little like a warrior who was about to fight a battle.


    His heart suddenly sunk.


    He quietly looked at her, doing nothing.


    Luosang waited for a while. When she thought that he was going to break herst line of defense, he suddenly quieted down.


    Half a minuteter, she slowly opened her eyes, directly making an eye-contact with him. He looked a little displeased, as his eyes were dark and his slightly flushed face was tightened.


    Whats wrong? Her heart missed a beat, as she hadnt seen him like this for long.


    I should be asking you that. Nian Junting knitted his brows, and his eyes brightened again. Shouldnt you try to stop me just now? If I moved slightly, Id be prating you.


    Luosang puzzled. She silently pulled over the nket to cover herself. She didnt understand why he was suddenly angry.


    Why didnt you say anything? Her silence darkened Nian Juntings face. You didnt want to do it this morning, but now, youve suddenly stopped struggling. Is it because of your father?


    Luosang shivered, as she was shocked by how sensitive he was.


    She pressed her lips together, as she was too shy to speak it out. Dont you want it? Still, she said it.


    I want it, indeed, but I dont want to have it like this. What do you think our rtionship is? Nian Junting said angrily, And What do you think you are?


    Luosangs flushed face paled gradually. A whileter, she apologized with a low voice, Im sorry. Just now, I didnt know why I had that kind of a thought.


    Nian Junting coldly nced at her, turned back, and sat on the edge of the bed, staying silent.


    Luosang spent a while looking at him, then started feeling unhappy as well. Im the one suffering the losses, okay? Youve taken the advantage of so many men, and now youre being mad. Its all because of you. Youve been trying everything to get me to bed. You said that you wanted to check my wound, but wasnt this your final purpose?


    Nian Junting raised his brows and responded with, No. Luo, I know that you value your virginity. You didnt give it to Yi Jingxi, even after you got engaged with him. What did I give you? I did you a few favors, and I taught Ye Chuen a lesson for you, so youre giving me your virginity? Youre not that cheap.


    Luosang opened her mouth, looking at him.


    These past few years, youre not so valuable was what she heard the most. However, what he said was the other way around.


    Nian Junting wore a serious look and continued, I havent destroyed Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi for you, and I havent taken the Xu Group back for you. I didnt marry you, nor get engaged with you. Ive only given you a diamond ring, and I didnt even give you a bank card. But now, youre giving yourself to me entirely. Youre devaluing yourself.


    Luosang immediately wanted to cry.


    His short speech somehow turned her eyes red.


    Perhaps, she hadnt been cherished by someone like this for a long time.

 Chapter 327. Its Cold, Ill Let You Hug Me to Sleep

    Chapter 327. It''s Cold, I''ll Let You Hug Me to Sleep


    Men nowadays only knew how to brag about how well they treated women and the things they did for women, with the only objective being to sleep with them. Junting however, was humble. He said that he had not given her anything.


    Alright, Ive decided. Ill still wait for the day we marry. Luo Sang grasped the covers tightly against herself andid down. She covered her face, only exposing herrge, sparkling eyes.


    Nian Junting was dazed. His mouth gaped open ever so slightly. He cursed silently to himself. He had responded to the unsettled feelings in his heart earlier, but now he felt unimaginably tortured.


    Actually, what I meant to say was you dont have to sleep with me because of your father, but you can do so on the ount of other things, like how much you love me. Can you


    Luo Sang was speechless. The righteous words she had spoken earlier had now evaded her. Who was the one who said that my first time had to be of extreme importance just now? Furthermore, when I used to clean your body in the past, didnt you hold yourself back on your own? You didnt even need any cold water to help you then, Luo Sang said sarcastically as she held back a chuckle.


    That was because I didnt have a girlfriend back then. Its different now. Nian Junting turned over, sat up, and looked straight at her. His appearance wasparable to that of Xiaosi at the sight of a bone, salivating uncontrobly.


    Dream on, Luo Sang stuck out her tongue and hid beneath her covers, ignoring him.


    Nian Junting looked at the pile of covers for a moment beforeying down beside her. Luo Sang did not hear a thing as sheid beneath her covers. After about a minute, she was unable to bear the silence and pulled the covers open by just a crack. She discovered Nian Junting curled up away from her. His curved back disyed his shallow scars. His waist was slim and lean with perfect outlines. It was a sight that was extremely reassuring.


    Youll catch a cold. Luo Sang covered his body with her covers.


    He remained motionless.


    Hey, you wouldnt get angry just like that, would you? Luo Sang probed.


    Dont speak to me, Im holding myself back. Nian Juntings voice sounded restrained. Im only halfway along the Long March of 8,000 miles.


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say. What did holding yourself back have to do with the Long March? Luo Sang nearly spat inughter.


    After a while, she bit her lips and nudged herself closer to him, pressing her delicate figure against his back. Nian Juntings torso shivered, and his breathing became increasinglybored. Luo Sang felt her face flush. Her hands crept slowly along his waist. After some time, the silence was broken by Nian Juntings soft groans.


    Afterward, Nian Juntingy on his side, looking at Luo Sang with a grin on his face. Luoluo, for this period of time, my happiness is in your hands.


    Go to sleep. Luo Sang immediately switched off the lights. Her body was bathed in moonlight as sheid down to sleep.


    Its cold. Ill let you hug me to sleep. Nian Junting pulled her over into his embrace. His chest was warm, radiating a familiar scent. Luo Sang was so exhausted. In his embrace, she finally fell into a restful slumber.


    The next day, Luo Sang woke up for her 8:30am ss at 7:00am. Why are you up so early? Nian Junting looked at her groggily.


    Im making breakfast. Luo Sang nced at him as she tied up her hair.

 Chapter 328. Who Scratched Mr. Nians Chest?

    Chapter 328. Who Scratched Mr. Nian''s Chest?


    Nian Juntings eyes glowed, and his heart was warmed.


    His Luo was so nice. She took care of the lower part of his body at night, and in the morning, she was busy taking care of his stomach.


    His mother would only do skincare and makeup in the morning, and his sister had never done any housework.


    Nian Junting believed that his mother and sister werent as good as even a finger of his woman.


    Luo, I want some porridge, and a sandwich with butter and honey, and a medium boiled egg with a slice of ham. Also, get me some sweetcorn. I like sweetcorn, he said hurriedly.


    Luosang was speechless. Where could she find so many foods? Besides, she wasnt his cook.


    She believed that she was already nice enough, as she was willing to make him breakfast. However, he actually tried to order food.


    She didnt want to talk to him, and instead turned and left the bedroom.


    Forty minutester, Nian Junting gazed at a bowl of dry noodles, said, This is the worst and simplest breakfast Ive ever had.


    Didnt you say that any food I make is delicious? asked Luosang while eating the noodles.


    You should at least add an egg for me, and spring onion. There isnt even any soup. Its dressed with mere dark soy sauce, Nian Juntingined.


    I dont have time. I need to go to ss, and I have to get dressed and put on my makeup. Luosang sped up eating.


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say. It turned out that Luosang was just the same as his mother. The only difference was that Luosang would make him noodles with soy sauce, while his mother wouldnt.


    At that moment, the door opened. Yan Su walked in in a hurry andsaid to Luosang while changing shoes, Luo, youre still here. Wait for me. Ill take a shower, then go to school together with you.


    After she finished talking, she raised her head to find Nian Junting sitting in the living room, wearing only a pair of trousers. She paused for a short while, then stuttered, MrMr. Nian, you slept herest night?


    While speaking, she nced at Luosang.


    Luosang blushed. After all, it was the first time she let her boyfriend stay overnight. It was toote when we came backst night, and you said that you wouldnte back. He worried about me, so he stayed, exined Luosang.


    I get it, I get it. Go on. Yan Su quickly went back to her room.


    Nian Junting blinked, then calmly picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.


    Theres another girl at home, so you should put on your shirt first. Luosang pushed him and said, Besides, arent you cold?


    Staying with you, I constantly feel on fire, Nian Junting shrugged and said, And, Lu Kang hasnt delivered my shirt yet.


    Luosang didnt want to continue this conversation, so she picked up the shirt he wore yesterday and threw it on him.


    Twenty-past eight, Lu Kang still hadnt arrived, so Luosang and Yan Su left first.


    Dont forget to close the door when you leave. After reminding Nian Junting, Luosang left.


    Leaving the apartment, Yan Su gave Luosang a meaningful smile. You said that youre not living together with him, and that you wouldnt use Okamoto, but hes already staying overnight. Yan Su clicked her tongue.


    Luosang blushed and exined, I didnt use Okamoto. He stayed overnight, but that doesnt mean that we had sex.


    Yan Su chuckled and said, If you didnt use Okamoto, who scratched Mr. Nians chest then? I have great eyesight, so I saw those scratches once I was home.


    We didnt make it to thest step anyway, Luosang clenched her teeth and said with determination.


    Alright. Judging by Mr. Nians efficiency, you wont be sharing a t with me for long. Yan Su rubbed her red eyes and said, Its alright if you want to bring him to our t. Ive been busy recently. Thepany will release an album for me next year in March. Have you heard that Ye Chuen is going to sign a contract with Fengxing? I heard that Nian Juntings grandma has talked to Feng Xings owner about it herself.

 Chapter 329. You guys really think Im that kind of person?

    Chapter 329. You guys really think I''m that kind of person?


    Luo Sang was not surprised. After all, the Ye Family had Yu Wens backing, while Kang Yings parents were also in the upper echelons of management in the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation. Helping Ye Chuen seek contacts was not out of the ordinary for them. She was a little disappointed, however.


    Fengxing seems to be doing well in the music industry, but yourpany is good, too. Furthermore, your singing abilities are way better than Ye Chuens. Dont worry, Luo Sangforted her.


    Im not worried about her, Im worried about you. Yansu exined, Judging from thest time Auntie Kang pretended to fall, its quite evident that she is very cunning. Hopefully, what happened recently has alreadye to a conclusion.


    Luo Sang fell silent. For some reason, over thest few days she had felt an ominous sense of foreboding, of gray skies and thunderstorms brewing in the distance.


    The two of them parted ways at the school foyer.


    When Luo Sang walked into her ssroom, the lesson had not yet started. Tang Ning was surrounded by three other girls, and for some reason, they cast mysterious nces at Luo Sang before quickly looking away.


    Luo Sang frowned. Initially, she had not thought much about it, but after two days, she realized that her ssmates seemed to not be interested in talking to her anymore. Some even ignored her when she asked them questions.


    She could sense that she had be an outcast, and she had a vague notion of the reason why. However, she was more concerned about whether Tang Ning had told everyone about the fact that she was Xu Zhengxuans daughter. If she had done so, then technically, being treated as an outcast would not have been the end of it. Otherwise, it did not seem to fit Ye Chuens style. Unless they had other motives?


    Christmas was getting closer, and Luo Sang expected that rehearsals for the y would have intensified. However, when she arrived at the dance hall for rehearsal at the stipted time, she found only Yuan Zichu packing up the props by himself.


    Zichu, where are the others? Have they arrived? Luo Sang asked.


    They left, Yuan Zichu looked up and said, cing the props into a bag. He exined, We just finished rehearsing.


    Didnt we agree to meet at seven? Luo Sang was stunned. Why didnt anyone tell me that the time had been changed?


    Everyone refuses to listen to you, Yuan Zichu sighed. I was afraid that youd wait here all by yourself, so I dawdled to stay behind to tell you.


    Luo Sangs expression grew gloomy. She had not rehearsed much with the group over the past few days, but she could sense that she was being ostracized. Therefore, she had made the gesture of treating them to drinks and giving out red packets. She had not expected that her efforts woulde to naught.


    Nevertheless, it was nice of Yuan Zichu to tell her. Thank you, she said.


    Luo Sang, to avoid trouble, I think you should tell Professor Lee that youll be pulling out of the y. Yuan Zichu was evidently ufortable. Everyones saying that you extorted $3,000,000 from the Ye Family and abused your boyfriends powers to bully Ye Chuen. The group is unhappy with you, and under Shui Changs influence, everyones on her side. They said that if you dont leave voluntarily, theyll tell Professor Lee that as long as youre acting, Shui Chang will not.


    Luo Sang chuckled bitterly to herself. Shui Chang was just like rat feces, contaminating the whole pot of rice.


    Although Professor Lee entrusted you with the y, he will not be able to do anything if nobody wants to listen to you. Yuan Zichu continued hesitantly, I think you should pull out.


    You guys really think Im that kind of person. Luo Sang was furious. She could choose to pull out, but voluntarily doing so would show that she had a weak resolve.


    Everyones saying Yuan Zichu hesitated before continuing, There were some at the party who witnessed the incident. Ye Chuen received nock of praise. Why would she want to hurt you? Moreover, she had to be on stage herself that day. If she were to have done something to hurt you, wouldnt she have been hurt, too?

 Chapter 330. Ill Disable You, so You Can Never be a Singer in Your Whole Life

    Chapter 330. I''ll Disable You, so You Can Never be a Singer in Your Whole Life


    I get it, she said.


    It turned out that even Yuan Zichu didnt believe her.


    Luosang turned and left.


    Luo Sang, Yuan Zichu called her name.


    Luosang turned around and heard him say, Do you have to turn yourself into this because of Ye Chuen? Professor Li has decided to support you with the Christmas show. If apany noticed you and signed you, you might be a star


    I did nothing, believe it or not. Stop talking. Luosang didnt want to hear it, so she left quickly.


    The show wasnt going to happen anymore, but she couldnt give up on hosting. She wasnt yet clear about the shows prepared by the many departments, so she decided to go andmunicate with the people from the other departments as she now had some free time.


    She visited a few departments in a row, and no problem urred. As she walked to the rehearsal room of the music department, she heard the noise of fighting.


    She walked in and saw a few girls in dance skirts attacking a girl who was surrounded by them. The tallest one among the group even dragged the girls hair while cursing, Who do you think you are? Could you have ever taken the lead role if you didnt pull strings? Do you think youre really that amazing? How could you be shameless enough to take someone elses role? Ill destroy your face today, so you can never be a singer!


    Huang Qianqian, youre just Ye Chuens dog. The girl in the middle tried to dodge, but her face still suffered a few scratches, as she was under a group attack.


    Yan Su. Luosang saw the girls face clearly.


    She was shocked at first, and then her rage went straight into her head. She hurriedly ran over, pulled the other girls away while yelling, What are you doing? Let her go now! Or Ill call the police.


    Who are you? Stay out of our business. Or well hurt you too. A girl with a ponytail pushed Lousing aside, then turned back to continue attacking Yan Su.


    Just go. Im fine. Yan Su winked at Luosang. Right after that, someone pped her face.


    Luosang clenched her fist and furiously grabbed a wooden chair. She swung it straight at Huang Qianqian. The tall and strong Huang Qianqian fell to the ground and couldnt struggle back up for a while.


    The others in the rehearsal room fell into a silence.


    Luosang tremblingly pointed at Huang Qianqian, then said to the others, Whoever tries to hurt her again, shes an example. If you want to fight,e to me. I might be expelled from the school today, but Ill disable all of you so none of you could ever be singers your whole life.


    Her eyes were red, and her face showed determination.


    They were all girls after all. At the moment, they were all frightened a little, and none of them dared to make a step forward. Huang Qianqian was still sitting on the ground. After hearing Luosangs words, she angrily pointed a finger at her and said, Are you Luo Sang? Im calling the police. You hurt me. Ah, it hurt so much, my spine is nearly broken.


    Yes, I am Luo Sang. LousAng bent over, stared at her coldly, and said, You want to call the police? Alright, Ill do it for you. Ill tell the police that you attacked Yan Su together. My words will be proved by Yan Sus wounds. The police will consider my behavior as self-defense. Of course, your families may know some people in the police system, but dont forget who my boyfriend is. I assume youve heard that not even Ye Chuen can do a thing to him.


    You Youre so shameless. I wont give up just like this, Huang Qianqian trembled with anger. She struggled to get up from the ground, but once she moved, Luosang pressed her back down.


    What will you do if you wont give up? Luosang picked the chair back up and said, In this case, I have no choice but to let you know whos the winner of this fight.

 Chapter 331. Sangsang, Im Thoroughly Impressed with You

    Chapter 331. Sangsang, I''m Thoroughly Impressed with You


    Are you crazy? Were not boys. Are you going to challenge me to a fight? Huang Qianqian was shocked, afraid she would be hit with the stool again as she feebly tried to crawl away. Come help me!


    Ill hit whoever dares to help her, Luo Sang threatened.


    They were all dainty girls from the music department. They were shoving each other, but none of them dared to step forward. Luo Sang looked at Huang Qianqian expressionlessly. You can choose whether or not you are going to cause any more trouble. Its up to you if you want to blow this matter up.


    Alright, I was wrong. I wont bully Yan Su anymore, Huang Qianqian said weakly when she realized that she had been left to defend herself.


    None of you are to bully Yan Su again. Luo Sang red at the bunch of girls behind her and mmed the stool onto the floor. Ill peel the skin off of anyone who dares to bother her again. Ye Chuen isnt your mother. Dont be too eager to seek justice on her behalf. She wont be taking care of you all, a bunch of fools. She helped Yan Su up and walked towards the door. With only a couple of steps to go, she paused when she saw a figure standing in the door.


    Chi Chi Shengxu, one of the girls stuttered.


    Luo Sang was stunned, too. She wondered how long he had been standing there.


    Sangsang, Im thoroughly impressed with you. Chi Shengxu gave her a thumbs up, turned to the group of girls, and red at them. What a great show all of you put on today. I will tell the principle how all of you ganged up against two girls.


    The girls in the studio were shocked. With his poprity, the principal adored him. If he really told on them, they would never have a chance of getting a gig in the future.


    Dont, Senior Chi. Its all a misunderstanding, one of the skinny girls stepped forward and exined. Please dont tell anyone. We will never do it again.


    Remember what you promised. Chi Shengxu waved his phone. I recorded everything. If it happens again, Ill put it up on Weibo. Were all in the art school. Dont make me destroy your chances of bing famous and sessful. Think about the consequences. When he finished, all the girls were desperate. They were truly scared now.


    Shut your mouths from now on and finish the musical with Yan Su, or the next time you bully her, it wont just be Luo Sang defending her, Chi Shengxu said meaningfully before looking at Luo Sang and Yan Su.


    When the three of them emerged from the building, Chi Shengxu was the first to burst outughing. Sangsang, I couldnt tell that you were such a macho person. You usually look so meek and weak. This is a new side of you I have yet to acquaint myself with.


    I was forced into that situation. I was worried that Yan Su would have it much worse if I didnt show that side to them then. Luo Sangughed helplessly. What were you doing there, anyway?


    I had just gotten back to the performing arts department, and I heard that you were just there, so I chased you here. I didnt expect that Chi Shengxu shrugged. You did scare them back there, but Yan Su has to continue to work with them on the musical. They might not have cooperated with her after that. I had to step in.


    Thanks. Luo Sang looked at Yan Su with her disheveled hair and scratches on her face. She felt extremely guilty. I knew it. I knew you were going to be implicated being my friend. Were they bullying you all this time? Why didnt you tell me?

 Chapter 332. Fourteen Missed Calls from Mr. Nian

    Chapter 332. Fourteen Missed Calls from Mr. Nian


    What would change if I told you? Besides, since Ive heard about the negative news about you in the Music Department, things must be much worse in your Broadcast Department. You cant be doing any better than I am these days. Yan Su covered her wounds and shook her head.


    Not to mention the fact that our friendship is just one of their excuses. Ive signed the contract, and Im about to release an album, and I got the leading role of the musical. Theyre just jealous of me. I have chosen this path, so I need to ept their jealousy. They are just temporary anyway. When I be a star, no one will dare to treat me like this.


    Luosang clenched her fists and said, Ye Chuen is always ying dirty tricks.


    Are you gonna tell your boyfriend? asked Chi Shengxu.


    Luosang bit her lip.


    Dont tell Mr. Nian, said Yan Su. If he knew, hed definitely help you, but that would only worsen your rtionship with his grandma. No matter what, you should marry him before dealing with Ye Chuen.


    Luosangughed and responded with, You just got attacked, yet youre still worried about my marriage.


    I have to. Yan Su curved her wounded lips into a smile and said, Mr. Nian seems to be careless about family rtions, but its his grandma after all. If his grandma made this a serious matter, hed be troubled.


    Alright, Ill help you on this, Chi Shengxu smiled and said.


    Luosang paused and asked, What will do you?


    Dont worry. It wont affect your rtionship with your boyfriend, I promise. Lets go, Ill escort you. I think Yan Su needs to go to the clinic. Chi Shengxu began walking ahead of them.


    Luosang and Yan Su followed behind him.


    The doctor in the clinic prescribed some liniment for Yan Su. After that, Chi Shengxu walked the two girls back to their apartment.


    Chi Shengxu is pretty nice to you, Yan Su said smilingly, even though her face was still aching.


    Were friends. Hes one of the few friends of mine who knows about my past. And hes really nice. Luosang sat at the edge of the bed, looking at Yan Su, and said, Su, in the future, if people find out that Im Xu Zhengxuans daughter, you should stay away from me. Dont get yourself into trouble because of me.


    What are you thinking about? Yan Su pretended to be angry.


    Ive been getting this bad feeling recently, said Luosang with a frown. Ye Chuen has known about who I was since long ago, but she never told people about it. Instead, she tried to start a rumor about the party. Im guessing shellunch the deadly strike while Im in the worst situation possible.


    Yan Su gave a start, then said, Thats possible. You should tell Mr. Nian about it.


    No, Luosang shook her head.


    He can make Ye Chuen shut her mouth, but can he stop Yi Jingxi and Zhong from talking? Sooner orter, people will know that I am Xu Luosang. I can hide for now, but not for my whole life. Never mind it thoughIve thought it through. I am Xu Zhengxuans daughter, and thats the truth. No matter what happens in the future, I cant escape from reality. I believe that things will be different this time, because Im no longer alone. Now, I have friends, and I have a love in my life. Besides, Junting will keep me safe.


    Even you arent afraid, what should I be scared of? Not to mention the fact that youre my lucky star. You see, because of you, a musicpany decided to make me a star, Yan Su said half-jokingly. Go rest. Im going to take a shower.


    Alright. Luosang returned to her room to shower in the master bathroom.


    After showering, she heard her phone ring on her bed.


    Picking up the phone, she found fourteen missed calls from Nian Junting.


    She gave a start, wondering if he called her each minute.


    Doesnt he have anything to do?


    While she was thinking, Nian Junting called her again.


    She hurriedly answered the call and said to him sourly, What are you doing? Youre calling too frequently. My phone is even going to die.

 Chapter 333. I Didnt Expect You to Go on a Date with Another Man Behind My Back

    Chapter 333. I Didn''t Expect You to Go on a Date with Another Man Behind My Back


    Nian Junting said grumpily, You missed so many of my calls, I thought you didnt want to pick up anymore.


    I was showering. I didnt look at my phone.


    You should bring your phone along to the bathroom now, since you have a boyfriend.


    As if you bring yours along.


    I do. I put it on the cab when I take a shower. Im worried that your thoughts will run wild if I dont pick up. You might even think that I have a woman on the side.


    It would be hard for him to get a woman, even if he wanted to, Luo Sang thought.


    Nian Junting continued, Who were you with tonight?


    Yan Su! Luo Sang was surprised that he would even ask.


    Youre lying. You were with Chi Shengxu. He even took you home. Nian Junting sounded stern.


    Luo Sang was stunned. How did you know? Are you following me?


    I asked someone to pay attention for me at the entrance of your estate. I was worried that Yi Jingxi woulde looking for trouble. Nian Junting lowered his voice in frustration. I didnt expect you to go on a date with another man behind my back.


    Luo Sang was touched. She didnt know that he had sent people to protect her. Didnt they tell you that Yan Su was around as well? I didnt lie to you, I just left that part out in case you got jealous.


    Whos jealous? I wouldnt get jealous over a little boy. Nian Juntingughed coldly. I just think that you shouldnt be hanging out with other men since youre dating me now. Of course, apart from your dad, dont you think its too much for another man to take you home?


    You are too much! Its impossible to ask me not to befriend any other male counterparts. I will be interacting with other males during work in the future as well. Do you think I can ask you not to encounter any women? Luo Sang shot back.


    Of course not. I have self-discipline.


    Luo Sangughed angrily. As if I dont have self-discipline.


    At least I wont let other women take me home. Ill never take another woman home, either, except for my mom, Nian Xi, and my grandma. Nian Junting paused and asked seriously, Can you do that?


    Luo Sang was stunned for a while before saying, What about your ex-girlfriend?


    Speaking of exes, lets talk about your ex-fianc, Yi Jingxi. Nian Junting chuckled coldly.


    Luo Sang waspletely defeated. Alright, I was wrong. I wont let Chi Shengxu take me home in the future. Are you satisfied? He might not even be taking me home. He might just be taking Yan Su home.


    Impossible. Shes not as pretty as you, and her personality isnt as great as yours.


    She wanted to tell him that Yan Su had a wonderful personality and a big heart, but she was happy to hear that her boyfriend thought of her as the best. He was a testament to the saying, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


    You know your mistake now? Make it up to me with your legs next time, Nian Junting grunted.


    Luo Sang asked, How do I apologize with my legs?


    Rub them against each other.


    Luo Sang blushed over the phone. Alright, will you quit thinking about those things? Are you free tomorrow? Lets go catch a movie, Luo Sang suggested. Theres a film that I want to see.


    I thought you said that you werent freetely. Dont you have to rehearse for the y? Nian Junting asked. Its Christmas next week. You must be swamped.


    Oh I thought about it. Im already quite busy with hosting, so I decided to withdraw from the y, Luo Sang said casually. I didnt have many lines anyway, so I just asked someone to stand in for me.

 Chapter 334. Hes Being Narcissistic for Himself, and His Girlfriend

    Chapter 334. He''s Being Narcissistic for Himself, and His Girlfriend


    Alright. Its good for you to quit. I dont like that toy boy anyway. Nian Junting chatted with her for a while longer, then ended the call.


    After hanging up on the phone, he immediately said to Lu Kang, who was driving, Go find out if theres a problem with Luosangs show.


    Did Ms. Xu say anything? Lu Kang puzzled at first.


    No. Before, she didnt want to quit, even when I got mad, but now, she suddenly quitted. Thats a little weird. Nian Junting put an elbow against the car window, then rested his forehead in his palm, sighed, and said, My woman is so perfect, so I always worry that she might get bullied by the others. After all, people are always evil.


    Lu Kang was left speechless.


    Boss, youre being narcissistic for both yourself and your girlfriend. Arent you tired?


    The next day, when Luosang and Yan Su were having breakfast, they saw Chi Shengxus post in the WeChat Moments FeedEarlier, I attended a schoolmates birthday party. During the party, the emcee fell into the water. The emcee and the schoolmate are roommates. After the ident, the emcee threatened to sue thepany that built the stage, and imed five-million aspensation. My schoolmate believed that the ident happened because of her, so she offered the emcee two-million to solve the problem. However, the emcee refused, and also encouraged her rich boyfriend to attack my schoolmate. Now, things are getting serious, and my schoolmate is ming the emcee for all of this. How ridiculous is this? The schoolmate has never been a nice person. She tried very hard to defame the emcee in front of me. If you tell me that a two-faced person like this did something to the stage on purpose, I might really believe you. Also, the emcee and I have known each other since we were kids, so I clearly know what kind of a person she is.


    After reading that, Yan Su clicked her tongue and said, Chi Shengxu is really a good friend. Many of our schoolmates and school leaders see his WeChat Moments. Soon, his words will spread school-wide. With his support, Ye Chuen will fail.


    Luosang called Chi Shengxu and said to him, I read your WeChat Moments. Thank you.


    Were friends, so we should help each other. Chi Shengxuughed carelessly, then said, But if you really want to thank me, Ill ept it. Buy me dinner tonight.


    Tonight is busy. Im going to watch a movie with my boyfriend, said Luosang apologetically. How about tomorrow night?


    Em Alright.


    In the morning, when Luosang arrived at school, people started to greet her again.


    Yuan Zichu walked to her shyly and said, Luo Sang, join our rehearsal for the show tonight. Zhang Yang and the others asked me to invite you.


    Luosang nced at Zhang Yang and the others, who were looking at her at a distance, then coldly smiled and responded with, I dont think so. This morning, I talked to Professor Li. He said that hell arrange for someone else to take my ce. You can do it without me.


    After she finished talking, she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave.


    Seeing that, Zhang Yang hurriedly walked over and said, Luo Sang, please dont be angry. We heard some untrue words about you earlier, so we misunderstood you. That was our mistake.


    You have made no mistakes. Its just, you rehearsed with me only when you wanted to do it. Who do you think I am? Besides, someone is always saying things about me behind my back. Do you think I really want to do this show now? Luosang cast a look of dislike at Shui Chang, then left quickly.


    Once she walked out of the ssroom, Tang Ning called her name.


    Luo Sang, stop. Tang Ning quickly walked up to her, gave her a cold smile and said, Youre so shameless. You fooled Nian Junting. And now, what tricks did you y to make Chi Shengxu lie in his WeChat Moments against his conscience?

 Chapter 335. Meet with the Wife of the CEO of the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation

    Chapter 335. Meet with the Wife of the CEO of the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation


    Tang Ning, theres a limit to how dumb someone can be. Luo Sang could not stand it any longer. Youve smeared my reputation, that I can live with, but you cannot harm Yansu. Did you know that she was bulliedst night? After all, she was your roommate for a long time.


    She deserved it. Tang Ning hesitated momentarily before continuing, I havent had any contact with her since she sided with you.


    Is that so? Luo Sang chuckled before swinging her arm andnding a tight p on Tang Nings face. The students walking past on the veranda immediately stopped and gathered around to watch.


    Tang Ning was stunned. She held her face and shrieked, Luo Sang, you pped me! I didnt even expose you


    Ill do it again. Luo Sang reached out again,nding another tight p on the other side of her face. This was how Yansu was beatenst night. Since you love upholding justice, Ill fulfill your wishes. You cant even tell right from wrong. Im pping some sense into you.


    After holding in her anger for the entire night, Luo Sang could no longer stand it. Anyway, Tang Ning had already determined that they were foes. If she had not hit her today, she would have regretted it. Hitting her made it better, somewhat. She finally understood that putting up with humiliation like a coward only made things worse. Others would think that she was easy to bully.


    Iming for you! Tang Ning lunged in a raging frenzy.


    Luo Sang had been bullied in school before, so she was no stranger to fights. She did not fear Tang Ning. She sidestepped her, grabbed her by her hair, and mmed her face into the nearby wall. Tang Ning, consider this a warning. If you ever try to interfere in matters regarding Ye Chuen and I again, Ill beat you every time I see you. Even if Im expelled, Ill wait outside school every day to beat you. If they throw me in jail, the first thing Ill do when I get out is beat you. She paused, shifting her cold gaze towards the onlookers. The same goes for everyone else.


    The onlookers were stunned. Luo Sang had always been amicable to them. This was the first time they had seen her behave so violently.


    Luo Sang shoved Tang Ning to one side before turning to leave.


    Ill never forgive you for this, Tang Ning screamed in her direction, sobbing.


    Hearing that, Luo Sang reached down to pick up an empty mineral water bottle and threw it at Tang Nings feet with all her might. Scared beyond words, Tang Ning stayed silent.


    Only when Luo Sang left did a few girls walk over to Tang Ning hesitantly. Tang Ning, you best forget this. In the first ce you should not have helped Ye Chuen.


    Whats wrong with Ye Chuen? Shes such a good person. Tang Ning was furious. You all cant tell right from wrong. Chi Shengxu liked Luo Sang, so he deliberately said those things to ruin Ye Chuens reputation.


    The girls looked at each other. One of them said, I dont think so. Chi Shengxu is so well-liked. Was there a need for him to say anything bad about Ye Chuen? After all, many people know that Ye Chuen has a crush on Chi Shengxu. It must be normal for her to grow jealous.


    You dont know anything. Im telling our teacher about her true colors. Tang Ning charged down the stairs, seething with rage. She had only just gone down when she found a well-dressed young man standing before her, blocking her path. She recognized him. He was Nian Juntings assistant. She had heard that he had a crush on Yansu.


    She wondered aloud, What do you want?


    Wed like to invite you to meet with the wife of the CEO of the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation. Lu Kang waved his hands. Two other tall and burly men grabbed her and forced her into a car by the roadside.


    It did not ur to Tang Ning to wonder why Ye Chuens great aunt would send Nian Juntings assistant if she had wanted to see her.

 Chapter 336. My Woman is Perfect Indeed. She can even Win A Fight

    Chapter 336. My Woman is Perfect Indeed. She can even Win A Fight


    Nian Junting got a call from Lu Kang in his office.


    Mr. Nian, I got Tang Ning. Were heading to Feng Garden.


    Alright. After ending the call with Lu Kang, Nian Junting immediately called Murong Cheng and said, Return to Feng Garden right now. I need you.


    Murong Cheng rarely saw her son act this way, so her heart missed a beat when hearing his words. Why? Im in the middle of something right now.


    Get there no matter how busy you are, or dont me me for starting a fight in Feng Garden.


    Nian Junting hung up the phone, picked up his jacket, then left quickly.


    Feng Garden was where Murong Ze and Yu Wen lived in Xia City.


    Fifty minutester, Nian Junting drove to Feng Garden, walking into the living room withrge steps.


    What are you doing here?


    Yu Wen was sitting on the couch, watching TV. At the sight of Nian Junting, she got angry and said, Didnt I tell you to stay away from the home of your grandpa and me before leaving that woman?


    I want to share something with you.


    Nian Junting sat on the couch and crossed his long legs.


    Seeing his proud face, Yu Wen really wanted to hit him with a broom. I dont want to you to share anything with me, she said. No matter what you offer me, I wont ept Xu Luosang.


    What do you want to share? Hearing the noise of his car, Murong Ze slowly came downstairs.


    Youll find out soon. Nian Junting asked the helper to pour him a cup of tea.


    Yu Wen closed her eyes to not look at Nian Junting, so that she wouldnt get even angrier.


    Five minutester, Murong Cheng came back.


    Why are you back? Seeing Murong Cheng and her son, Murong Ze knitted his eyebrows.


    He asked me to. What on earth do you want? Murong Cheng angrily nced at Nian Junting.


    Wait for Lu Kang. Nian Junting nced at his watch and said, He should be arriving soon.


    The others in the living room nced at each other, feeling that something big was going to happen.


    About ten minutester, Lu Kang dragged Tang Ning into the living room. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and her hair was a mess.


    Grandma, please help me. Seeing Yu Wen, Tang Ning pounced on her as if she was a life-saver.


    Eh? Arent you Chuens friend? What happened to you? Yu Wen had seen Tang Ning in the hospital a few times. She visited Ye Chuen everyday, so Yu Wen felt that she was a good girl.


    Xu Xu Luosang did this to me. Tang Ning buried her face in her palms and began crying. Shes a crazy woman. Today, after ss, I told her to stop bullying Chuen, then she attacked me and did this to me.


    What? Yu Wen immediately threw away the teacup in her hand, stood up, and said, Thats uneptable! She even attacked Chuens friend.


    Murong Ze frowned as well. He looked at Nian Junting and said, Youve spoiled her too much. Ive never heard of such an aggressive woman.


    Nian Junting ignored them, but paused briefly when seeing Tang Ning. Then, he smiled abruptly and said, What a surprise. My woman can actually fight. Did she win?


    Of course she won. How else could I be injured so badly? Tang Ningined.


    Amazing. My woman is perfect indeed. She can even win a fight. Nian Junting gave an even bigger smile.


    Tang Ning didnt know what to say.


    Yu Wen was so angry that her heart ached. She pointed at Nian Junting and yelled, Youre being unreasonable.


    Why should my woman be reasonable? Nian Junting said ndly, She can do whatever she wants.


    Yu Wen couldnt think of anything to say.


    Ridiculous! Murong Ze pped the table and stood up, saying, Are you enchanted by her?


    Yeah. You dont get enchanted everyday in your life, Nian Junting made a fist and rested his head on it.


    Murong Ze covered his chest with a hand as well.


    As a wise man, he didnt understand why or how his grandson turned out to be such a freak.

 Chapter 337. You Can Understand What Kind of Person Ye Chuen Is

    Chapter 337. You Can Understand What Kind of Person Ye Chuen Is


    You should keep an eye on your son. Murong Ze pointed at Murong Cheng. Its all because of that scoundrel, Nian Qingyun.


    Watch your words. Murong Ze rubbed her eyebrows. Why did you bring her here?


    Nian Junting chuckled, looking at Tang Ning. Tell them the about rumors that you spread in school.


    Tang Ning was trembling in fear at the sight of his cold, unforgiving gaze. I was speaking the truth.


    Yes, it was the truth, but we havent heard it. Speak, Nian Junting said, tapping his fingers on the chair.


    Tang Ning blinked as her heart filled with a mysterious suspicion. She said, I said regarding the ident at Chuens party, that Luo Sang wanted to sue the eventpany that built the stage. The Ye family wanted to settle it peacefully. After all, the ident happened at their ce, so they willingly forked over $2,000,000 aspensation, but Luo Sang was unwilling to ept that. She pressured Mr. Nian to take Ye Chuen bungee jumping, resulting in her nearly ending up in the hospital


    Finishing her sentence, she noticed that everyone in the living room had fallen silent. She blinked ufortably, saying, I was only speaking the truth. I did not make up any facts.


    Yu Wen looked upset. She remained silent.


    Murong Cheng asked, Did anyone tell you about this, or did youe up with this story on your own?


    Tang Ning shook her head. Why would I? Chuen told me about this herself.


    Nian Junting chuckled. Grandpa, Grandma, you heard it yourselves. Outsiders may not know about this, but you know the truth. Otherwise why would Grandpa personally go to the police station to close the case regarding what happened that night?


    Murong Zes face turned ashen. He looked at Tang Ning and said, Lu Kang, this person, take her back where she came from.


    Why are you all like this? Tang Ning felt that something was amiss. Did Chuen lie to me?


    Yes, she did. Youve been used like a tool. Nian Junting raised his chin pridefully, with a cold look on his face. If Luo Sang had not taught you a lesson earlier, I would have done so myself. Stay away from Chuen from now on. If you dare craft such rumors in school again, Ill have you expelled. If you dare reveal her true identity, Ill make sure that no one will ever know where to find you again. Ill crush you like an ant.


    Tang Ning looked at Yu Wen, but Yu Wen looked away. She had helped her earlier, but now she did not utter a single word.


    Murong Cheng blew at the cup of tea in his hands. Youre still young. Dont ruin your future because of a stranger.


    Tang Nings heart sank. She could only nod in fear.


    After Lu Kang had Tang Ning taken away, the atmosphere fell silent for several moments. Nian Junting spoke again, I could have sought trouble with Ye Chuen, but after careful consideration, I thought that to spare a thought for you two, it would be better to bring Tang Ning here, so that you can understand what kind of person Ye Chuen is. Grandma, you cant shelter her so unreasonably, right?


    Yu Wen appeared ufortable. Chuen was wrong in this instance, but it might have been because you took her bungee jumping. She could not retaliate against you, nor was she able to swallow her pride, leaving her with no choice but to lie about Luo Sang to Tang Ning.


    Yes, thats why she deserves to be bullied. From what I recall, it was Ye Chuens fault from the very beginning, after all. Nian Juntings face slowly rxed. Grandma, if you really choose to be this unreasonable, then you can just take it that you no longer have me as a grandson. You can keep Ye Chuen as your precious granddaughter. Finishing his sentence, he got to his feet.


    Yu Wen panicked. But what Auntie Kang said couldnt have been untrue, right? Moreover, Luo Sangs background is no fault of ours.

 Chapter 338. Luosang, is Your Boyfriend Outside?

    Chapter 338. Luosang, is Your Boyfriend Outside?


    I think Aunt Kang brought herself to the ground, said Nian Junting in a nd voice.


    Yu Wenughed and replied, Luosang said that, didnt she?


    Nian Junting frowned, his face showing disappointment. I brought Tang Ning here specially. If the result remained like this, I would have nothing more to say. From now on, if Ye Chuen ever dares to offend my woman again, Ill do even more things.


    You


    Alright, stop. Murong Ze interrupted Yu Wen and said, Yu Wen, Ye Chuen was wrong on this matter. I helped her with the party ident because I wanted it to be over. But Junting, youre wrong too. You shouldnt avenge Luosang by proiming revenge on Ye Chuen. Each of you should take a step back. This ends now. As for Xu Luosang, her family background is a big issue indeed.


    Mom, you tell them. Nian Junting turned to Murong Cheng.


    Murong Cheng nced at him perplexedly, then cleared her throat and said, Ive met Luosang before. Shes a nice girl. Her family background is a little bad, but thats not her fault. Since Junting likes her, I think we should give them a chance. If difficulties do ur in the future, he should face them, as he made the decision himself. Hes an adult, so I think hes capable enough to face all of his potential problems.


    Cheng Yu Wen couldnt believe it.


    The person whos going to run the Zhong Zhou group cant be too weak to face any difficulties, can he? Murong Cheng smiled and continued, You might not believe this, but before, a contract nearly went wrong when Junting purchased Chuanchi. Luosang was sharp-eyed enough to spot the problem and twisted the situation. Even though her father is a prisoner, she is well-educated, and shes no worse than any girl from any other rich family.


    Murong Ze frowned and responded with, Cheng, even if we agree, his father wouldnt ept her, would he? If Junting married a girl with such a family background, his position and reputation would both be affected.


    Murong Cheng sneered and said, Why would that kind of a man need a reputation? Besides, he owes Junting. If he didnt cheat on me with Leng Shuangweis mother, would Junting break up with Ling Shuangwei for me?


    Hearing that, both Murong Ze and Yu Wens faces darkened.


    Alright, let bygones be bygones. Its over now, said Nian Junting ndly.


    Grandma, no matter how much you like Ye Family, theyve done things that have been wrong. If they keep making mistakes, kicking them out will be the first thing I do after I take over Zhong You. You have my word. They didnt do it just because of Luosang. They just want to step on me and do whatever they want.


    After saying that, he left in long strides.


    At four fifty in the afternoon, Luosang was in a ss. Abruptly, she heard the people around her whispering.


    Whos that?


    Hes so handsome.


    Ive never seen him.


    I think hes waiting for someone.


    Luosang looked outside the window and was shocked.


    In the corridor, Nian Junting was wearing a pair of ck trousers and a ck sweater, leaning against the guardrail.


    It was the first time she had seen a man look so good in ck. He looked handsome, calm, and humble


    Noticing her gaze, Nian Junting waved a hand at her.


    Luosang couldnt say anything.


    The people around her immediately cast their eyes on her.


    Even the professor, who was giving the lecture, noticed it. Thankfully, this professor was rather humorous. Luo Sang, is that your boyfriend outside? Hes really not bad. Hes even more charming than me, a professor. My female students are all distracted by him.


    Luosang blushed scarlet, apologizing, Im sorry, professor, I didnt know that he


    Its alright. Girls were born to like handsome men. Theres nothing wrong with that. The professor gave a bitter smile and said, Next time, tell him to wait downstairs instead of standing outside the ssroom, or I wont be able to teach my ss.

 Chapter 339. She Was Cradled Like a Princess in His Arms

    Chapter 339. She Was Cradled Like a Princess in His Arms


    Okay, Luo Sang said.


    ss was ending in 15 minutes, but it seemed like an eternity. This was because the man standing outside was maintaining the same posture, staring intently at her.


    Everyone in the ssroom was whispering:


    Look at the way hes looking at her. Hes mesmerized.


    Hes so patient. Its as if Luo Sang has him under a spell.


    My boyfriend has never treated me this way.


    All of a sudden, I feel like my boyfriend has never even loved me before.


    Luo Sang felt her entire body flush with warmth. She discreetly sent him a text saying, Everyones talking about me. Go downstairs and wait for me.


    Nian Junting looked down at his phone before casually tucking it away in his pocket. He continued to stare at her.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    Finally, ss ended. Luo Sang was seated in the middle of ss, not far from the door. Following her group of ssmates as they left, she noticed that many of them had secretly checked Nian Junting out as they walked past. It seemed like they were catching a glimpse of something rare.


    It was only when he saw her that his cold, expressionless gaze became warm. Being a woman, Luo Sang could not help but feel proud.


    Whats with the wound on your face? As she approached, Nian Juntings tone sharpened. Tang Ning only said that she fought with you. She didnt mention anything about you being wounded. I thought you had imed an absolute victory.


    Did you think you were the one who fought with her instead? How do you even know about it? Luo Sang was confused. Dont tell me you have insiders at school.


    Nian Junting stayed silent. He just looked at her wound. The fair skin on her cheeks had only been slightly disturbed by two superficial scratches, but it made his blood boil. That Tang Ning only received a few ps, whereas your wounds are so serious. It must be that she is jealous of your beauty. Had I known earlier, I would not have let her go.


    Luo Sang could not think of what to say. How is my wound even serious? I only have a light abrasion. Tang Ning is the one who has a swollen face. I think her lips were even bleeding.


    In my eyes, it would be an injury if even a single hair of yours dropped. Nian Junting sighed.


    Although she felt helpless, Luo Sang still felt a warm feeling within her heart. It was as if she were being cradled like a princess in his arms. Alright, lets not talk here. Lets talk when were downstairs. Luo Sang grabbed his elbow.


    As they turned, someone hollered from behind, Huang Qingyang, youve forgotten your phone.


    Nian Juntings long legs stopped moving. He turned to see a skinny young man stopping in his tracks. He had a few pimples on his face, but his features were still decent. Luo Sang noticed, too, and impatiently rolled her eyes.


    As they walked down the stairs, Nian Junting said, I didnt know that Huang Qingyang looked like a weasel.


    No way.


    A weasel never has good intentions paying a visit to a chicken. Looks are derived from the heart, Nian Junting said, expressing his thoughts. Stay away from him in the future.


    Ive never interacted with him, alright? Luo Sang snapped. Why did you see Tang Ning this morning? Now that I think about it, I havent seen her all afternoon. Dont tell me that you took her bungee jumping, too.


    Why would I take such an ugly woman bungee jumping? I took Ye Chuen bungee jumping because were rtives. Nian Junting sneered.


    As if bungee jumping with you was like going on a date at an amusement park, Luo Sang thought. What a nightmare that must be for a woman.


    I took her to Fenglin to make her tell my grandmother about all the lies she spun about you in school, so that my grandmother could see Chuens true colors. Nian Junting patted her hand regretfully. At first I was intending to have the school expel her, but after thinking about it, if youre going to marry me, I cant always have my grandparents be mistaken about you. I even invited my mother along as a witness. They no longer object to us dating now.

 Chapter 340. No other Man but I Can Afford You

    Chapter 340. No other Man but I Can Afford You


    Luosang was honestly shocked when hearing that.


    She didnt think that Nian Junting could actually be so efficient. This morning, she thought that she might get be punished by the school for fighting, or that Tang Ning might tell the others about who she really was.


    She waited and waited, but nothing happened.


    It turned out that Tang Ning was taken away by Nian Junting.


    What? Are you too happy to speak? Nian Junting patted her hair.


    Luosang smiled and said, Eh I thought that I would be enemies with your grandma for a long time. I thought that she wouldnt let you marry me, no matter what happens, just like in some TV series. However, before I could even try to kiss up to her, youve solved the problem.


    Nian Junting blinked, thinking that his grandma had said exactly the same.


    Junting, youre so good. Luosang put her arms around his waist.


    I know that, so you canpliment me more frequently. Nian Junting chuckled, In case I forget about it.


    Luosang was a little speechless.


    Mr. Nian, your way of talking is always a little different from that of normal people.


    But you didnt tell me that you were bullied in the school. I feel that I am held ountable for those kinds of things. Nian Junting gently touched the wounds on her face and continued, That kind of a woman isnt worth it for you to fight her by yourself.


    Luosang smiled and replied, asionally, I want to test my own strength. Youre way too powerful, so with you, I wouldnt even get a chance to protect myself. Im afraid that if one day, youre not with me, I might get bullied.


    How could you not be with me? Nian Juntings face darkened immediately. Unless youre nning on cheating on me. With whom do you want to be with? Chi Shengxu?


    Chi Shengxu and I are just friends. Luosang suffered a headache.


    You have male friends, but I dont have female friends. Nian Junting gave a cold smile and said, Theres no pure friendship between men and women. Most of them are just flirting with each other under the disguise of friendship.


    Thats not true. Luosang knew that she couldnt convince him, so she said, Why do you always suspect me? Would you cheat on me? Mostly, the men are the ones that are fickle in love, especially you rich people. What rich man doesnt have several girlfriends?


    Im different. I live in the silt, but I was never imbrued, Nian Junting responded calmly.


    Alright then. If you ever cheat on me, dont let me catch you. Luosang rolled her eyes.


    I doubt youll ever have a chance of that, he said.


    Luosangs mouth was parched and her tongue was scorched, yet she just couldnt win against him in this conversation. So she hurriedly changed the topic and asked, Have you talked to your mother about me yet?


    Em, youve already been admitted by your future mother-inw. Some other day, Ill let you two have a meal together, Nian Junting smiled and said.


    Your mother is really nice, Luosang sighed. Even though she felt that Murong Cheng was a nice person thest time she met her, she was still surprised to know that Murong Cheng was willing to support Nian Junting. After all, she was Xu Zhengxuans daughter. Did you act unreasonably to make your mother agree? she asked.


    For you, being unreasonable is nothing. Nian Junting abruptly lowered his head to nce her, chuckling.


    Luosang was touched. With a sweet smile, she buried her face in his arms, ignoring the many people who were looking at them.


    This time, Nian Junting took her to taste the famous Kaiseki dishes.


    The dishes were delicate and delicious.


    Luosang just couldnt stop praising the dishes. This is so nice. Youll certainly make my taste picky.


    Nian Junting crossed his hands, then rested his chin on them. Under themplight, his gaze was lethally charming.


    I want to make your taste picky, so no other man but me could afford and stand you.


    Luosangs heart raced when hearing that, and her face blushed.


    Tell me, have you been secretly learning sweet-talking skills again? she asked.

 Chapter 341. Bringing her current partner to this movie

    Chapter 341. Bringing her current partner to this movie


    Although he had said some abominable things recently, he was also uttering sweet nothings increasingly frequently. She could hardly bear it.


    I didnt. Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. So this is what is meant by sweet nothings. I wont need to learn, then. It seems that I am born with this talent.


    Luo Sang was afraid that he would begin engaging in lengthy self-praise again. She quickly said, Yes, yes. You must have picked it up yourself while dating. Come, this eel and mushroom soup is not bad. Have some.


    Its average. It might be better if you were feeding me, Nian Junting said with pride.


    Im going to book the tickets. Luo Sang was toozy to bother with him. She looked down and opened the booking app. As she tapped away, a message suddenly came in on WeChat. Someone had transferred a sum of money to her. She tapped on the notification to open the message. Mr. Nian had sent her $520 in a virtual red packet.


    Luo Sang was speechless. This was too She could feel goosebumps rising. It was certainly not within his usual sly-tongued and unempathetic character, and she felt a growing sense of bliss within her heart. This scoundrel was not only capable of the most venomous words but also of the sweetest ones.


    At 8:20pm, the two of them reached the movie theater. Only once they were there did Nian Junting think to ask what movie they were about to watch.


    The Ex-Files 3. Apparently, its really popr. Some say that its quite touching, too. Luo Sang pointed towards an advertisement at the door.


    I dont like the name. Nian Junting frowned in dismay. Touching does your ex-boyfriend touch your heart? Xu Luo Sang, have you not spared a thought for my feelings? Moreover, what is so touching about a rascal like Yi Jingxi?


    Its just a movie. If its good, lets watch it. Luo Sang, overwhelmed with his questions, felt wronged.


    You just talked about being touched. Nian Junting emphasized his words. Im warning you, now that you have me, dont even think about feeling touched because of your ex.


    Im saying that this movie is decent. It has nothing to do with my ex. Luo Sang felt immensely regretful. She should not have brought him to the theater. Who knew that he would be so petty as to kick up a fuss over a movie title?


    Nian Junting, if you do this again, Ill never watch a movie with you again. Luo Sang stomped her foot. Look at everyone bringing their partners to watch the movie. No ones acting like you.


    Feeling threatened, Nian Junting finally stopped talking.


    As they walked into the theater, they heard two girls talking behind them. One of them said, Haha, why did you think to ask me out for a movie today?


    Were watching the ex-files. We cant possibly bring our current partners. What if we start to reminisce about our ex-boyfriends and begin bawling? How hurtful would that be?


    Hey, yeah, now you mention it, Im beginning to think about my own ex. Lets stop talking about it. It hurts me every time I think about him.


    Nian Junting shot Luo Sang a cold nce.


    Had shemitted an unforgivable crime bringing her current partner to this movie?


    When they took their seats, Luo Sang grabbed his hand and pretended to feel jealous. You had better not think about your ex, or Ill be angry.


    How is that possible? Nian Junting said inly, Were not watching Wolf Warrior.


    Luo Sang was stunned. You watched Wolf Warrior with her? She felt that something was amiss. Wolf Warrior had not debuted very long ago, but his ex-girlfriend was a thing of years past.


    Because I was in the army while I was together with her, it would be hard for me to stop myself from reminiscing about the glorious days while I was in the army. Nian Junting signed mncholically.

 Chapter 342. I Dont Want to Leave You

    Chapter 342. I Don''t Want to Leave You


    So are you thinking about your ex-girlfriend or your glorious days in the army? Somehow, Luosang felt a little sorry for his ex-girlfriend. Nian Junting was terribly unromantic.


    asionally, the movie seemed more like aedy. However, when the couple broke up, Luosangs eyes started tearing up. She tried to keep herself from crying, because if Nian Junting saw her cry, he wouldnt hand her a tissue. Instead, he would get mad.


    Later, she sneakily nced at Nian Junting. The screens dim light illuminated his face. He remained expressionless the whole time. The only time he moved was to cross his legs, grab Luosangs hand, or put popcorn into his mouth from time to time.


    At the end of the film, the couple didnt get back together. The background music was touching, so quite a few girls were already quietly wiping their tears away with tissues. On the other hand, many of the men stayed impassive.


    Luosang couldnt help but blink quickly. However, tears still gushed out of her eyes. Thankfully, the light wasnt on, so no one could see that she was crying. As she was thinking how grateful she was for that, Nian Junting suddenly turned on his phone and lit up her face with its screen.


    What are you doing? Luosang wasnt prepared for that. She was still crying, and her voice was dry.


    Ah, I saw that some people around us were crying, so I wanted to see if you were crying, too. Nian Junting stared at her. His sharp eyes observed the tear stains on her face and the glistening teardrops in her eyshes.


    Youre crying. Youre crying watching exes. Do you miss Yi Jingxi? Nian Juntings handsome face immediately turned as cold as ice.


    No, I dont Before Luosang finished talking, Nian Junting stood up and walked outside withrge strides. Feeling helpless, Luosang hurriedly followed him. He walked quickly. Within the blink of an eye, he had walked out of the theater.


    Nian Junting, wait! Luosang made an effort to catch up with him, then held his hand.


    Nian Junting pushed her hand away, red at her, and said through clenched teeth, Xu Luosang, right in front of me, you missed Yi Jingxi so much that you even cried! What, do you want to get back with him? Are you reminded of the days when you were pursuing him? Sadly, he was just using you.


    Enough! I just cried because of a movie, yet even that made you criticize me. I cried because the movie was touching. What does that have to do with my ex? Luosang clenched her fists and yelled back at him, Arent you touched at all?


    Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, Why should I be touched by that kind of movie? We should watch Wolf Warriors.


    Luosang covered her chest, as she was so angry that her chest hurt. Wolf Warriors, my *ss. I prefer these kinds of literary films. Luosang took a deep breath and said, Didnt you find it very touching? They were a couple. He thought she wouldnt leave, but she believed that he would persuade her to stay. In the end, they fell apart. It made me think that if we had a fight, I shouldnt leave you, or Id be d*mned if you didnt try to stop me from leaving. I dont want to leave you.


    Nian Junting paused for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly sparkled with warmth and happiness. So you were thinking about me. Silly, if we had a fight and you tried to leave me, Id break your legs. What are you worrying about? Nian Junting looked at her and smiled.


    Luosang hurriedly looked at her own legs and touched them softly. That was the scariest lovers prattle she had ever heard.


    So the movie wasnt bad. Nian Junting held her hand and said, Sadly, I didnt pay attention to it.

 Chapter 343. Its Fine. Shell Sleep in the Master Bedroom with Me Tonight

    Chapter 343. It''s Fine. She''ll Sleep in the Master Bedroom with Me Tonight


    Luo Sang was speechless. What were you focused on just now, then?


    I was thinking about something that happened at work.


    If he was not paying attention to the movie, how did he manage to sh his phones shlight during the movies climax? He obviously wanted to check if she was crying. Luo Sang was impressed with his ability to multitask. No wonder he could shoulder a CEOs responsibilities.


    Lets go. Lets go back in and watch the show. Nian Junting tugged her along.


    Its probably over. Whats there to see? Lets go home, Luo Sang said with exasperation.


    We can buy tickets and watch it again. Nian Junting smiled. I want to enjoy the experience again. I saw you sobbing back there. I dont want to miss out on such an intimate moment. Let me savor it once more.


    Luo Sang was about to lose her mind. One time is enough for me. If were going to catch another show, we wont be done until around midnight. I have morning sses to attend tomorrow.


    Lets catch it again next time, then. Nian Junting frowned and nodded.


    Luo Sang muttered under her breath, As if Ille along again.


    On the way back, Nian Junting said casually as he drove them home, You were quite moved by the film back there, werent you? Does it spark any newfound revtions about your rtionship with me?


    I guess Ive learned to live in the present and be grateful for what we have now Luo Sang said patronizingly.


    He was fishing for words of affection. She couldnt bring herself to speak them.


    Hmm, treasure what we have now. Nian Junting nodded meaningfully.


    She pretended to fall asleep in the car soon after to avoid any further questions from him. She slowly drifted off into a deep slumber, and when she woke up, she realized that they had arrived at Tianhu Vi.


    Why did you bring me here? I want to go back to my apartment. Luo Sang was baffled.


    Ill take you back tomorrow morning. Look, Xiaosi misses you so much. Look at him running towards you. Nian Junting took big strides to the passenger seat and scooped her out of the car.


    Xiaosi was circling them, barking happily. Luo Sang frowned. Xiaosi probably reacted this way to every little movement or stimtion. Forget it. She wasnt going to start an argument.


    Upon hearing themotion, Sister Lan walked out hugging a coat around herself. Sangsang, youre here! Are you hungry? I can make you supper if youd like some.


    Im alright. I had quite a substantial dinner. Luo Sang was grateful for Sister Lans concern. She was almost like family to her.


    Ill tidy up the guestroom for you then, Sister Lan turned to enter the house.


    Nian Junting stopped her hastily. Its fine. Shell sleep in the master bedroom with me tonight. Bring her toiletries to my bathroom.


    Sister Lan stopped in her tracks abruptly and turned to look at them. She gave Luo Sang a curious look. Luo Sang blushed and bit her lip shyly.


    Alright, Im on my way. Sister Lan covered her grin with her hands and walked away briskly.


    Nian Junting led Luo Sang upstairs into the changing room. He opened one of the closets, and it was filled with womens clothing. I bought these for you. The bottom two drawers are lingerie sets. I wished that I could buy more, but this was all the drawers could fit. I didnt have enough foresight to create more storage space. I didnt see a seductive woman like youing.


    Luo Sang couldnt be bothered to correct his impression that she was the one who courted him actively. She wouldnt be able to convince him, even if she tried. When she opened the drawer, it was filled with intimates in all sorts of colors and designs. Luo Sang turned as red as a tomato.


    Remember to match your bra with your underwear. I like it when its from the same set. You know how I have a bit of obsessivepulsive disorder. Nian Junting winked.


    Pick a set that you like. Well shower together tonight. You can choose between having a bath or just a shower. I have enough space for two, either way.

 Chapter 344. Dont be Shy, Im Gonna Take Off My Clothes Anyway

    Chapter 344. Don''t be Shy, I''m Gonna Take Off My Clothes Anyway


    Luosang was a little afraid of talking to him. Sometimes, his words could be really scary.


    Like now.


    When did I agree to shower with you? Luosang couldnt even imagine saying that, as she was too shy. Go shower alone, she said.


    Why cant we shower together? Ive seen your body before anyway. Nian Juntings eyes scanned her from head to toe.


    Luosang instantly felt like she was naked. She rolled her eyes, then walked straight out of the changing room.


    If we shower together, we can scrub each others backs. Nian Junting followed behind her, trying very hard to persuade her.


    Sister Lan, who had just carried some toiletries upstairs, heard him and blushed.


    Ahyaya, they became boyfriend and girlfriend not long ago, yet theyre already living together, and theyre even showering together. Young people are open-minded indeed.


    Sister Lan Seeing the meaningful look in Sister Lans eyes, Luosang felt that her entire body was burning.


    I didnt see anything. You two go on. The blushing Sister Lan quickly walked into the bathroom and put down the toiletries.


    Luosang gave Nian Junting a threatening nce, then said with a low voice, Stop talking, or Ill leave right now.


    Nian Junting frowned slightly. After Sister Lan left, he went into the bathroom and showered alone.


    Luosang tried to find her pajamas from Nian Juntings closet. However, the longer she spent in the closet, the weirder she felt, as she couldnt find any pajamas that werent revealing.


    The first one she found was a retro, sexy night skirt that was super low-cut.


    The second one she found was a Japanese style sexy mini dress.


    The third one she found was a strapless, silky mini dress.


    What the hell are these?


    Atst, she picked a light purple pajama set.


    Nian Junting finished showering and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing the clothes in Luosangs hands, he frowned with discontent and said, Why did you pick that? Its not sleepwear.


    How am I supposed to wear those dresses you bought? Its winter right now. Ill feel cold, alright? Luosang rolled her eyes.


    Yeah? Lu Kang picked those. I had nothing to do with that. Nian Junting raised his brows and said, But those pajamas have already been bought, so dont waste them. You see, Im really thrifty. I wear every suit two to three times.


    Luosang blinked and asked, What would you do if you werent thrifty then?


    I would just buy clothes without wearing them.


    Rich people.


    Just go and change. That mini dress is niceI like it, Nian Junting uttered. Deepughters escaped from his throat as he said, In fact, you dont need to be shy. Im gonna strip myself tonight anyway.


    Luosang really wanted to go back to her own apartment.


    Because of what Nian Junting said, Luosang showered as slowly as she could. She felt that a wolf was standing guard outside, preparing to eat her once she went out.


    She was nervous the whole time because the sliding door of the bathroom had no lock and was only barely covered by the window shades behind it.


    About ten minutester, Nian Juntings voice was heard from outside.


    I just heard some loud noises. Did you fall?


    Thats the noise of the water. I didnt fall, Luosang hurriedly responded.


    What? I cant hear you. Did you fall?


    I didnt fall! Luosang turned off the water. She worried that he might not be able to hear her, so she made her voice loud enough to be heard from the garden outside.


    I cant hear you. Im still a little worried. Ille in and check, Nian Junting said as he opened the door.


    Hearing his words, Luosang realized that he was going to act shamelessly again. So she hurriedly reached a hand to her bathrobe. However, it was still toote.


    When Nian Junting came in, she was standing on her tiptoes, trying to grab her bathrobe.


    From his angle, she waspletely naked. Her hair was coiled into a bun on top of her head. Her breasts were snow-white, and her nipples were pink; the secrets hiding in the jungle between her legs were all clearly visible.

 Chapter 345. Luoluo, I Want to See All of You

    Chapter 345. Luoluo, I Want to See All of You


    When Luo Sang got a hold of herself, blood was rushing through her head, and she could hear a pulsatile buzz. Not only was he looking at her stark naked, but her posture was also


    Thats enough, Nian Junting. Who said you coulde in here? Luo Sang said angrily as she fumbled to grab a towel to cover herself. She quickly grabbed the bar of soap and flung it towards him.


    Nina Junting dodged the soap nimbly and feigned innocence. I heard a ruckus in here, and I was worried about you.


    A big ruckus what the f*ck? She hadnt made a sound in there at all. Luo Sang was about to break down. She had never met anyone as shameless as he was. You are obviouslying up with an excuse just toe in here. I shouted to you at the top of my lungs that I was fine. Youre not a deaf man, youre just pretending to be.


    You really misunderstand me. Nian Junting walked towards her, and his eyes darkened as he continued to stare at her body. Luo Sang instinctively backed away until she was standing against the wall.


    Luoluo, let me carry you to bed. Nian Junting swept her up in his embrace. She was caught off guard, and the towel she had hastily wrapped around herself came undone.


    Nian Junting Luo Sang muttered his name bashfully. She was embarrassed and tried to reach out to cover herself with the towel, but Nian Junting held her arms tightly, and she couldnt free herself from his embrace. She could only curl into a ball in his arms in an effort to cover herself as much as she could.


    Hey, Luoluo, Im here. I know youre embarrassed. Its ok. Ill undresster as well. You wont feel ufortable then. Nian Junting looked down at her.


    She was defeated. She couldnt argue with him, she couldnt resist his advances, and she wasnt as thick-skinned as he was. Luo Sang shut her eyes tightly and let him do as he pleased. She was in the wolfs den now, and there was no escape.


    Nian Juntingid her gently down on the bed, and she could hear him swiftly undo his pants and shirt. After a couple of seconds, she felt his bodye onto hers. Luo Sang opened her eyes weakly in embarrassment. Dont you think you are too much, Junting? Im not against the idea of being intimate with you, but you shouldnt be so shameless and catch me unguarded when I shower You can tell me if you want toe in.


    Would you have agreed? Nian Junting blinked.


    No.


    Yeah, I had toe up with a n myself. Nian Junting kissed her lips gently and said in a husky voice, Luoluo, I want to see all of you, when you shower, when you sleep, when you are in ss, when you smile, when youre upset. I want your image imprinted in my mind He continued to whisper in her ear with his maic voice. It was seductive and tantalizing.


    Luo Sang was getting hot, and her heart began pounding fast. She was touched by his promation. They were so close to each other, exchanging breaths, their eyes locked. His features were enchanting, and she felt like she was in a sauna. Her mind went hazy.

 Chapter 346. Nian Xi is My Sister—You Cant Hurt Her

    Chapter 346. Nian Xi is My Sister��You Can''t Hurt Her


    It was eleven twenty-five.


    Luosang was hiding in her nket with half of her face covered by the nket, only exposing her eyes which were still misty from pleasure.


    She had heard about that kind of thing before, but never thought that she would let anyone do it to her. After all, it made her so shy.


    No wonder Nian Junting was obsessed with it ever since the first time he did it to her.


    Nian Junting lied down on his side, facing her, with a big smile on his face.


    Luo, is it good? he asked.


    Luosang didnt respond, instead covering her eyes with the nket. Earlier, she felt that all her blood had gushed into her brain, but still, she clearly remembered how she had moaned.


    Why are you so shy? You need to get used to this. Once Nian Junting said that, his phone rang.


    He knitted his brows. He didnt want to answer the call, but after seeing the number, he put the phone near his ear without thinking.


    Ji Chuan, you finally called, he said.


    Em, Ive been carrying a secret mission recently. A deep mans voice was heard from the phone. I cant in contact with the outside world.


    I knew it. Nian Juntingughed and said, You should have let Nian Xi know before the mission started. She cant get in touch with you, and that made her worry, also bringing her lots of unnecessary thoughts.


    It happened suddenly, so I didnt have the time to tell her, said Feng Ji Chuan. I heard from Xiao Si that youve recoveredis that true?


    Yeah, long ago. That was ages ago. Nian Junting nced at Luosang, then quickly changed the topic. Will you be back this New Year?


    Yeah, Ill be back New Years Eve, and Ill stay for a month. Feng Ji Chuanughed and replied, We should get together.


    Sure, but I think the most important thing for you to do is to marry Nian Xi this time. Youve been engaged for so long, said Nian Junting.


    Marry? Feng Ji Chuan paused.


    Yeah. Nian Xi got engaged when she was eighteen, and now shes twenty-five. Youre nearly thirty. When are you going to marry each other? Nian Junting asked in a deep voice.


    Feng Ji Chuan stayed silent for a short while, then said, In fact, sometimes I feel sorry for Nian Xi. Im always outside and hardly at home. As my girlfriend, Nian Xi is always alone


    Wont you be transferred to civilian work?


    Actually Ive hesitated about that sincest year. I dont really want to be transferred. Feng Ji Chuan gave a bitterugh.


    Nian Juntings face darkened. What do you mean? He said, When you joined the army, you said that youd be back one day, and that youd be transferred to civilian work. Because of that, Nian Xi became a police officer. But now, youre telling me that youre not transferring. Have you ever thought about her feelings?


    Ill ask her if shes willing to be an army wife. If shes not, I said Feng Ji Chuan bitterly. Junting, you were a soldier. We were together in the army. You should know me better than anyone else. A man should fight for his country.


    Holding the phone, Nian Junting fell into a silence. A whileter, he said in a deep voice, I dont care. Nian Xi is my sister. You cant hurt her. Think about it; shes the best wife for you in the world. Could you ever find anyone better than her?


    Well talk about it when I get back. Feng Ji Chuan sighed and said, Its nearly Christmas. Pick a ne and give it to Nian Xi for me. Ill pay you. Im in a remote ce with poor inte. Shopping malls dont exist here, so I cant buy her a gift myself.


    Alright. Nian Junting ended the call.

 Chapter 347. Jichuan Is Getting Nian Xi a Present for Christmas, What Are You Getting Me?

    Chapter 347. Jichuan Is Getting Nian Xi a Present for Christmas, What Are You Getting Me?


    Whats wrong? Nian Xis fianc doesnt want to change his job?


    Luo Sang crept out from under the nket when she heard Nian Juntings voice change.


    He turned to look at her, his mood ruined. Luo Sang, would you marry to a military man and live that kind of life? Jichuan is no ordinary soldier. He frequently has to go downrange for missions. He even has to travel to dangerous ces and countries for his mission sometimes.


    Well, he deserves our respect for wanting to serve our country and protect our sovereign. There are many military wives out there who are proud of what their husbands do. Luo Sang frowned and continued, I guess I cant live that kind of life myself. I cant stand not having my husband at home and carrying on a long-distance rtionship. Nian Xi is different from me, no doubt. She is a police officer. She has the same vision to serve the country.


    Nian Xi isnt all that passionate about being in the police force. Nian Juntingid down beside her. Shes liked Jichuan since she was a kid, always following him around. Both of his parents are high-ranking military officials, and his grandpa was my grandfathersrade. Our families have always been close, and they were kind of like childhood sweethearts. Nian Xi signed up with the police academy and trained to be an officer for Jichuans sake. She had hoped and thought that Jichuan would eventually change his profession and enter the police force. I didnt approve of this rtionship at first. Its too tough being a soldiers wife


    He suddenly realized that the woman beside him was strangely quiet. He turned to look at her, and she was smiling at him silently. What are you looking at?


    Junting, youve always acted as if you didnt care about Nian Xi, your sister. You actually care for her deeply, dont you? Luo Sang tickled his foot with her toes.


    No kidding. Im the only one who can bully my sister. No one else is allowed to hurt her in any way. Same goes for you. Nian Junting scooped her into his arms and said, Jichuan is getting Nian Xi a present for Christmas. What are you getting me?


    Luo Sang frowned. I should be the one asking you that question.


    Ill get you something for sure, but Im worried that I wont receive anything in return if I dont remind you now, Nian Junting said pitifully.


    Im not giving it away. Luo Sang yawned and nestled her head on his chest. Lets go to bed. Im so sleepy.


    Oh right, lets go on a vacation once you start your holidays. Well have to go after the lunar new year, since Jichuan ising back then, Nian Junting said.


    Alright, anything you say.


    At eight in the morning, Luo Sang waited at the school gates for five minutes before Yan Su appeared with her textbooks in her arms.


    Whats up? You look radiant. You must have had a good time at Mr. Nians cest night, Yan Su teased her chirpily.


    Luo Sang thought about what happenedst night, and she felt a deep ache in herher area.


    You havent heard the news, have you? Yan Su smiled. Some photos of Shui Chang leaked online this morning. They were all indecent photos of her and many different men.


    Luo Sang was shocked as Yan Su continued, She acts like such a revered goddess normally, but she goes on dates with older men quite often. I heard that they are all involved in the entertainment industry. Shes probably doing it to get famous quick. Now, shes ruined.


    Luo Sang quickly opened the campus forum, and pictures of Shui Chang cuddling with older men flooded the website. There were photos of her sitting on theirps and kissing them. It looked awful on her.

 Chapter 348. Yi Jingxi and Her Lay Side by Side on the Road

    Chapter 348. Yi Jingxi and Her Lay Side by Side on the Road


    Can she still be in the Christmas show? asked Yan Su.


    Im not sure, Luosang shook her head and replied. Then, she took out her phone and called Nian Junting, who left not long ago, to ask him, About Shui Chang Did you do it?


    Yeah. Although youre above doing the show, I cant ept the fact that someone bullied my woman and kicked her out of a show. Nian Junting chuckled and continued, I asked Lu Kang to do some convenient digging. I really didnt make much effort. That woman is nasty. I wonder where she got the confidence to go against you.


    Luosang was immediately shocked by Nian Juntings capability.


    Think of this as a lesson to all of your schoolmates. Dont envy the people they shouldnt envy, or, theyll end up like Shui Chang.


    When Luosang ended the call, Yan Su clicked her tongue and said, I really want a boyfriend like Mr. Nian.


    Luosang shook her head and said, Are you willing to give up on your current boyfriend?


    During the next two days, the news about Shui Chang spread wider and wider. Some people even said that Shui Chang was a mistress of a rich man, and some even put her face in adult videos.


    Luosang believed that those incidents had nothing to do with Nian Junting. After all, when you hit rock bottom, many people take pleasure out of your misfortune and even try to bring you greater misfortune.


    Some times, people would even point fingers at Shui Chang during sses.


    Luosang never paid attention to her again.


    At noon, Luosang came out of the canteen after lunch. As she was walking on an avenue in the school, a shrill scream was suddenly heard from behind her.


    Luosang, Im gonna kill you!


    As she turned back, Shui Chang rushed up from behind and pushed her to the middle of the road.


    A series of car horns could immediately be heard, as a car was driving over the speed limit of 25 miles an hour. As the car was about to hit Luosang, a man suddenly showed up, lunged toward her, and pressed her to the ground.


    Luosang could barely react during the whole process. She automatically closed her eyes, as she thought that her head was going to hit against the ground. However, when her body fell to the ground, she felt that her head was protected by something.


    Then, she heard a very familiar, deep gasp of a man. The feeling of being embraced by that man was also familiar to her.


    She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Yi Jingxi lying on the roadside beside with her. His arm was under her head.


    Get up. Yi Jingxi helped her up.


    Luosangs whole body ached, and her mind wasnt clear. She raised her head, saw his face clearly, then hurriedly pushed him away with dislike, saying, Mr. Yi, thank you for saving my life. But what are you doing here?


    If I wasnt here, you would have been killed by the car just now, Yi Jingxi replied, ncing at his own arm. He didnt even remember thest time he held her like he had just now.


    Luosang ignored him and turned to Shui Chang, who was on the roadside.


    She was probably shocked by what had happened just now as well. Now, as she realized what had happened, she turned and tried to run away.


    However, Yi Jingxi caught her, stopping her from running.


    Yi Jingxi grabbed her arm and said coldly, Do you know I can sue you for attempted murder? He gripped her so hard that he could have ripped her arm off.


    Luosang walked over. Her eyes lingered shortly on Yi Jingxis arm and saw his dusty suit and arge abrasion on the side of his hand.

 Chapter 349. Luo Sang, Leave Him

    Chapter 349. Luo Sang, Leave Him


    She recalled that he had used his hand to cushion her impact If he hadnt protected her head, she would have been injured quite badly. Why did he do that? No matter what, she couldnt erase her disgust for him.


    I only shoved her lightly. I didnt see the oing vehicle. You should argue with that driver back there, Shui Chang screamed in fear.


    Luo Sang turned to look at the car. It had pulled over for a short while but drove away quickly after that. The driver didnt even get out to apologize.


    You said that you were going to kill me just now.


    I was just trying to scare you. You ruined me, after all. Shui Chang was on the verge of tears. Not only did you spread those photos of me online, you even photoshopped my face onto adult videos. There are screenshots of those printed in the ssroom. How can I live with myself now? I hate you.


    I had nothing to do with those clips. Think about how many people youve offended. They are just having their shot at revenge, Luo Sang said coldly. Nobody ever forced you to do those things. You acted indecently of your own free will. Theres no one to me but yourself. Youre having a taste of your own medicine after spreading all those vile rumors about me. Ill let you off this time, but Im warning you to stay away from me. Dont me me if things get uglier. She picked up her books that had scattered on the ground and turned to leave.


    Yi Jingxi squinted at her. The woman in front of him looked extremely unfamiliar. She used to be innocent and lively. Now, she was harsh and cold.


    Thats all? Arent you afraid that shell seek you out again? Yi Jingxi caught up with her.


    Luo Sang ignored him and picked up her pace.


    Xu Luo Sang, dont forget that I saved you earlier. Yi Jingxi grabbed her wrist and hurt was reflected in his eyes.


    Luo Sang looked at his hand. It was covered in fresh blood. Yi Jingxi didnt seem bothered by his wounds at all. He was focused intently on her face.


    What are you ying at? Luo Sang looked at him with disgust. I cant bring myself to be grateful to you after all youve done to hurt me. I cant even bring myself to say thanks. She made a futile attempt to free her hand.


    She continued to warn him angrily, Let go of me. Nian Junting is my boyfriend. He wont go easy on you if he finds out about this.


    He wont, for sure. I was going to purchase the Yuxi corporation, but Nian Junting bought a majority of thepany shares. Yi Jingxi chuckled sarcastically. He made use of his connections with the Media and Communications Authority to bar my productions from public distribution. He has also been spreading negative rumors about me in the industry. Dont think Im so easy to take down.


    Luo Sang couldnt be bothered to entertain him and kept trying to free her hand. If you dont let go of me now, Im going to call Junting.


    Junting, Junting. Is he all you see now? Yi Jingxi pulled her close to him suddenly. His hand was bleeding more now, staining Luo Sangs hand as well.


    Wasnt it enough that day in Shanghai? Yi Jingxi looked down at her and said sorrowfully, Luo Sang, leave him. I wont ever bother you again. If you enjoy voice acting, go ahead, I wont stop you anymore. If you need anything, Ill provide it for you, just dont be with Nian Junting anymore.


    Luo Sang was stunned. She felt like she was hallucinating. Why should I listen to you? Are you crazy? Ill have nothing to do you with now.

 Chapter 350. Because of You, I Learned How Nice Nian Junting is

    Chapter 350. Because of You, I Learned How Nice Nian Junting is


    I said, I wont treat you like I used to. Yi Jingxi raised his voice, and his eyes turned darker.


    He was wrong. Before, he only wanted to keep her around him so that nobody could take her away from him.


    However, the harder he pushed her, the quicker she left.


    Earlier, when he saw her with Nian Junting in Shanghai and knowing that they had slept in the same room, he stayed up all night.


    He suffered, as if he died.


    He was now willing to give her anything as long as she gave up on Nian Junting and got back together with him. He would do anything for her, except forgiving Xu Zhengxuan.


    Yi Jingxi, I dont believe you. Luosang shook her head. You want me to leave him. Its just another trap you prepared for me. You want to keep controlling and torturing me to avenge your unknown hatred.


    I wont. Yi Jingxi clenched his fists and said, I promise.


    Dont you understand what you have done to me and how badly youve hurt me? asked Luosang coldly. Maybe something did happen between you and my father. But you used me to hurt my father; you took away Xu Group and everything that belonged to me. Because of you, I suffered endless humiliation; I was trampled upon and I lost my dignity. You know what? After knowing about the misery I had suffered in An City, Nian Junting didnt mind who I really was, but instead felt sorry for me. He really loves me, so when he saw me in pain, he felt pain as well. What about you? Have you ever felt pain? You watched me struggle. You knew what I wanted better than anyone else, yet you took away everything I had and gave it all to Zhong Yi, the woman I hated. And the harm you gave me right in front of so many people back in the hotel, and you sent me to Mr. Lin, you let him humiliate me


    Luosang pointed hard at her own chest and continued, I wont forgive that or excuse any kind of hatred I have toward you today, not even until after I die. You saved me today, but nothing will change. Even if you died right in front of me, Ill only cast a sideways nce at you, then walk away.


    I hate myself every time I recall the fact that I used to love you. Abruptly, Luosang lowered her head and rubbed the wound on Yi Jingxis hand abrasively.


    Yi Jingxi didnt show any expression. He just kept staring at her.


    The wound didnt hurt as much as his heart did.


    He loved her so, so much.


    Because he loved her, he had turned himself into a different person.


    But Because of you. Luosang raised her red eyes and continued, I learned how nice Nian Junting is, and I figured out whos worth my love. What other tricks do you want to y? Just do what you want. Because youve made me fearless. I now understand that, no matter what happens, hell keep me safe.


    Finally, she pulled his hands away from her, then turned, and left.


    Luosang, youll regret what you said today, Yi Jingxi said with an extra cold voice behind her.


    What I regret the most today is meeting you. After saying that, Luosang left without looking back.


    Yi Jingxi stood in the wind for a long wile, until Zeng Zhun drove the car to him.


    He got into the car.


    Zeng Zhun looked at his hand and said with a frown, Ill drive you to the hospital.


    No need. Yi Jingxis pale lips darkened. Stick with the n.


    Jingxi, dont do things youll regret, Zeng Zhun said. He wore a worried look.


    Ill bring her to hell.


    As the car drove away, no one saw Ye Chuen slowly walk out of a tree, lowering her head to look at the pictures in her phone while smiling.


    As the Christmas wasing in Shengting, thepany was filled with the festive air.


    Nian Junting and Xiao Si walked side by side out of the office. While walking, Nian Junting said, Weve sessfully purchased Yu Xi, and your contributions wont go unnoticed. From now on, you should pay more attention to Yu Xi and get familiar with all of their workings as soon as possible.

 Chapter 351. What Are Some Gift Ideas for a Man

    Chapter 351. What Are Some Gift Ideas for a Man


    No problem. Xiao Si looked out the window as he walked on and said sentimentally, Another year has passed by just like that. Youve found a girlfriend, while Im still single.


    Thats alright! Ask you mom to arrange a blind date for you. Nian Junting nced at him.


    No way. Xiao Si shook his head vehemently. Oh yeah, I heard Ji Chuan tell me that Shuangwei will be returning this year


    Nian Junting stopped in his tracks. Ji Chuan didnt tell me.


    He must have been worried that youd feel ufortable, especially with what went down between you and Shuangwei. She feels the same way, too. Shes hardly been back the past couple of years. Xiao Si sighed. I havent seen her in ages and hung out with everyone. None of them know about your new girlfriend yet.


    This is all history. Nian Junting frowned. I dont wish to talk about it again.


    Xiao Si sighed. He knew better than anyone that a happy family had been shattered because of what happened. The two of them parted ways at the elevator lobby. Nian Junting walked towards the CEOs office, and he overheard two secretaries talking on his way in.


    Its Christmas Eve in two days time. How are you spending it?


    With my boyfriend, of course. Well have to eat an apple for good blessings for the rest of the year.


    Shouldnt he get you something else?


    He probably will. Well see, she said as she caught Nian Junting standing in front of her and jumped.


    Mr. Nian, Im sorry. I dont mean to chit chat during office hours.


    Its alright. Who doesnt talk during work time? How boring would it be if you stayed quiet the whole day? Nian Junting continued, You have to gift something on Christmas Eve?


    Yeah.


    Nian Junting grinned and appeared to be excited. What are some gift ideas for a man?


    The two secretaries were shocked. For a man? Mr. Nian was going to gift another man something on Christmas Eve? So, the rumors about Mr. Nian and the vice president were true. They really did have something going on between the two of them. Oh god, what were the two of them thinking? They were both so handsome and perfect, why did they have to be gay?


    Things like gloves, belts, or wallets, I guess?


    Oh. Nian Junting nodded meaningfully and walked into his office.


    The two of them looked at each other and hugged each other tightly. So many girls in thepany would be devastated when they found out.


    In the office, Nian Junting pondered the subject by himself before calling Luo Sang.


    What? Im studying in the library, Luo Sang whispered.


    Have you gotten me a gift for Christmas Eve yet? Nian Junting cut to the chase.


    Not yet. What on earth? She should have been the one asking that question. Luo Sang was frustrated.


    Great, listen, dont get me gloves. Winters here arent that cold at all. I dont need them, neither do I need belts or a new wallet. Nian Junting chuckled. Give me something different.


    Why arent you speaking?


    Luo Sang inhaled a sharp breath and said, Can I ask you to give me something for Christmas Eve?


    Of course?


    Get me a whip. Luo Sang wanted to whip some sense into him. So much for being a man. Not only was he asking for a present from her, he was listing all sorts of requirements.


    A whip? Nian Junting was shocked. Are you into BDSM? I dont think thats a good idea. We havent even done it for real yet, what if you cant handle it? Im happy to try it out, but I just dont want you to be ufortable.


    Whos talking about that? Luo Sang was angry. Alright, dont get me anything then, goodbye.


    Dont be embarrassed. Whats so difficult about admitting to your fetishes? Nian Junting smiled.

 Chapter 352. She Didnt Answer His Call because She was Talking with A Boy

    Chapter 352. She Didn''t Answer His Call because She was Talking with A Boy


    He ended the call, nning to ask Lu Kang to order the gift online for him. But then, he had a second thought. Luosang was shy, so she might feel embarrassed if she found out that Lu Kang had known about all of this. Therefore, Nian Junting decided to order the gift himself.


    It was the first time he had ever shopped online, and he found the whole process a littleplicated.


    A whileter, when Lu Kang came in, he surprisingly found that his boss was learning how to shop online.


    Mr. Nian, some of the products that are sold online are not bad, but for someone like you, theyre still not good enough, Lu Kang reminded him kindly.


    Yeah? Nian Junting was puzzled at first, then he gave up on online shopping without hesitation.


    He decided to shop in stores instead.


    It would be a little awkward, but since his woman liked those things, he should be visiting those kinds of stores more frequently in the future. He believed that he needed to get used to it.


    Mr. Nian, your parcel. At that moment, his secretary knocked on the door and walked in, putting a parcel on his desk.


    Yes, he responded.


    After Lu Kang and the secretary left, he tore open the parcel. As he opened the paper bag, two photos fell from it.


    In the first photo, Yi Jingxi had his arm around Luosangs waist, face filled with concern, while Luosang lowered her head.


    In the second photo, Yi Jingxi was holding Luosangs hand, face showing deep love.


    Nian Junting suddenly stood up from the chair. As he gazed at the photos, his face was as dark as the sky before a thunderstorm.


    Outside his office, right after Lu Kang sat down, he heard a loud series of noises from the CEOs office, as Nian Junting had kicked a chair away. Then, Nian Junting stormed out of the office with a dark face and said to him, Give me the car key.


    Lu Kang hadnt seen him so angry in a long time. Without knowing what else to do, he handed Nian Junting the car key.


    Nian Junting took the key and left with big steps.


    He drove near the library of the university and called Luosang. However, the call wasnt answered.


    Why didnt she answer his call?


    He angrily walked into the library, searched for a while, and finally found Luosang, who was sitting beside a window, reading. A boy in a white shirt was sitting next to her, and they were talking.


    It turned out that she didnt answer his call because she was talking to a boy.


    At that moment, Nian Junting felt that the anger he had been trying very hard to control exploded again.


    He walked up withrge steps, grabbed the boys arm, and threw him to the ground.


    Hearing the noise he created, the other students in the library all turned to him.


    What are you doing? Whats wrong with you? The boy got up from the ground and angrily threw a punch at Nian Juntings face.


    Nian Junting grabbed his fist and stared at him furiously. On the left side of his body, his clenched fist was preparing for a fight.


    Luosang recovered from the shock, hurriedly rushed up, held Nian Juntings arm, and said, Calm down, we were just discussing our homework. She paused, then said to the male student, Zhou Nan, please forgive him.


    Do you have to sit so close to discuss homework? And, why didnt he discuss it with someone else? Why you? Nian Junting red at her with cold eyes and said through clenched teeth, As a woman, dont you know that you should keep a distance away from other men?


    Once he said that, some of the other students started pointing fingers at him and Luosang.


    Luosangs face blushed because of anger. She grabbed his hand and walked outside, saying, Come out with me. The others need to study.


    He was practically dragged out by Luosang.


    At the entrance of the library, Nian Junting refused to go anywhere further away. His face was tightened, and he seemed to be on the edge of exploding.


    That was awful. This is the library, a quiet ce. Do you know how embarrassed youve made me just now? asked Luosang with anger.

 Chapter 353. This Woman Was Such a Liar

    Chapter 353. This Woman Was Such a Liar


    Are you feeling awkward or guilty? Nian Junting looked at her sternly.


    Luo Sang was indignant. How could he think of her that way?


    I have the best grades in my faculty. Its reasonable for people to look to me for answers. Since when were we snuggling up against each other? You probably cant even stand me sitting close to another man.


    Of course not. I dont sit next to other women, Nian Junting said confidently.


    Luo Sang looked at him for a moment before storming off.


    Stay right there, Nian Junting shouted from behind her.


    Luo Sang ignored him. She felt that she had been spoiling him a little too much.


    Xu Luosang. Nian Junting marched forward and grabbed her wrist, holding it firmly. You are a really frivolous woman.


    Luo Sang chuckled with sarcasm. How am I being frivolous? I was merely sitting next to another boy. All the women in this world are frivolous, then. Can you be more reasonable?


    I am speaking with reason.


    Luo Sang was speechless, but her wrist was locked tightly in his grip, and she couldnt free herself no matter how hard she tried. She decided to bite down hard on his wrist. Nian Junting retracted his hand in shock. Luo Sang stared at his wrist. There were two bright red gashes. She had bitten as hard as she could without giving it much thought. His wrist was bleeding. Her heart sank, and she regretted her actions immediately.


    Nina Junting stared quietly at his wounds. He recalled how Yi Jingxi had grabbed onto her this way as well. She hadnt bitten him then, even after how he had trampled on her. How could she do this to him after all that he had done for her? A wave of anger overcame him, and his pupils were dted with emotion.


    Im sorry Luo Sang said awkwardly.


    Leave. Nian Juntings voice trembled as he sputtered out themand in anger.


    Come on, let me have a look at that, Luo Sang reached out to hold his hand.


    Nian Junting flung her hand away and red at her before turning on his feet.


    Luo Sang was in shock. She couldnt believe that he could get so angry about such a small matter. Was it really necessary? He could have chosen to be the bigger man. She didnt chase after him. She thought it would be a better idea to give him some space to cool down. He was in the wrong in the first ce. She was still in school, and there were so many male counterparts at her school. It would be ridiculous if no one could ask her school-rted questions.


    Nian Junting mmed his car door forcefully. He couldnt help but turn around, and then he couldnt believe that she didnt run after him. This woman was such a liar. When she reflected about that movie they watched earlier, Exes, she said that she could never bear to let him walk away. Why hadnt she held him back earlier on, then?


    It was all a lie.


    When he drove back to Shengting, he marched into his office and picked up the brown envelope from earlier on and yelled, Lu Kang,e here.


    Mr. Nian Lu Kang was scared. He hadnt seen his boss get so angry in a long time.


    Go find out, find out who sent this. Nian Junting threw the envelope at him. Look into what Yi Jingxi and Ye Chuen are up to.


    Oh. Lu Kang wondered if the two of them were up to no good again. Mr. Nian, your hand

 Chapter 354. Will You Spend Christmas Eve with Me?

    Chapter 354. Will You Spend Christmas Eve with Me?


    Dont mention my hand. Nian Junting seemed to suddenly get ignited by a fire sparkle.


    Lu Kang kept quiet out of fear and didnt dare to say anything to the elder.


    He believed that his boss was strong enough to heal himself.


    In the evening, Nian Junting got out of work on time. As he was taking the private elevator downstairs, Xiao Si walked into the elevator from the lower floor.


    Are you going on a date with Luosang? Thatd be nice, Xiao Si greeted him.


    After saying that, he sensed a weird atmosphere and the cold air around him.


    He turned his head to find Nian Junting staring at him with icy-cold eyes.


    Eh Are you having a fight? The corners of Xiao Sis mouth twitched.


    Who told you that?


    Its written on your face, Xiao Si pointed at him and said.


    Nian Junting stayed silent.


    Its alright. All couples fight each other. Xiao Si patted him on the shoulder and said, Not to mention your awful temper. Youve never fought until now; that means Luosang is well-tempered.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting, who had just turned his eyes away, turned back to Xiao Si expressionlessly and said, What about my temper? You wouldnt be able to find anyone else as easygoing as I am.


    Eh-hem,. Xiao Si coughed slightly and said, I guess you wont make up soon. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Spend the night with me. Im so bored and lonely.


    Ill think about it. After all, Luosang will certainlye to me before Christmas Eve to apologize and ask for forgiveness. If her apology isnt sincere enough, Ill spend the night with you, Nian Junting said, as he nced at Xiao Si ndly.


    Xiao Si felt hurt.


    Was he like a back burner?


    Dont you feel that you might be overthinking? You dont know for sure if shelle to apologize to you or not.


    As the elevator ringed, Nian Juntings phone ringed as well. He nced at the number on the screen, then showed it to Xiao Si.


    See? Shes calling to apologize right now, but I wont forgive her so easily.


    After saying that, he hung up on her, put the phone into his pocket, then proudly walked toward his car.


    Xiao Si speechlessly looked at his back, feeling that the world was truly unfair. Even someone like Nian Junting had a girlfriend, yet he was still single.


    In Luosangs apartment, in the living room, Luosang looked at her phone, feeling a little depressed.


    These days, she had called him at least ten times, and send him some messages.


    However, he never answered her calls or replied to her messages.


    Its really enough. Ive never seen a man who can be so mean when hes angry. I bit him, so he can maybe hang up on me once or twice, but after that, we should be good. Im not even mad at him for embarrassing me in the library.


    Eh? Why are you back so early today? Didnt you go on a date with Mr. Nian? Yan Su was back home. She opened the door wider and said, And youre not talking on the phone.


    Were kinda having a fight. Youre back early too. Didnt yourpany sign you up for lots of training courses recently? asked Luosang.


    Yeah. I have piano sster. I came back to change my clothes, said Yan Su. Why are you two in a fight?


    Luosang told her about what had happened yesterday.


    He got this mad because of that? Yan Su clicked her tongue and said, Mr. Nian is so possessive. You cant avoid talking to men without hurting their feelings.


    Hes just like that. I guess we just need to learn how to deal with these kinds of situations. No one is perfect. I have problems too. Luosang sighed and said, But hes really too bossy.


    No matter what, you guys should spend Christmas Eve together, said Yan Su while changing. Its your first Christmas Eve together.


    Luosang paused for a second, then asked, What about you?


    I dont have time for that. Ill be in thepany, rehearsing. Yan Su turned her face away and said, He said that Hell call me tomorrow, if he has time.


    Luosang looked at her, suddenly feeling lucky.


    Nian Junting was possessive, but at least he was with her.

 Chapter 355. Do You Want to Be Punished by Kneeling on the Keyboard?

    Chapter 355. Do You Want to Be Punished by Kneeling on the Keyboard?


    At the Tianhu Vi


    Nian Junting stormed into the house. Sister Lan was setting the dinner table when she saw him. She smiled and said, Master, youre back so early? Youre rarely at home for dinner now, ever since you started dating Sangsang.


    Nian Junting froze and plopped himself on the dining room chair. He stared at Sister Lan emotionlessly. Did she think that he wanted toe home to see her? He was only home because they had a fight. She was seeing Yi Jingxi and whatnot behind his back. He couldnt understand why she wasnt satisfied with a boyfriend like him. He was perfect in all aspects. Women are greedy creatures, he thought to himself.


    Um young master, did I say something wrong? Sister Lan hedged her words carefully.


    Lets eat. Nian Junting inhaled sharply and picked up his chopsticks. As he continued to have his dinner, he felt more and more awful about the entire situation. If Luo Sang was around, she would be piling food into his bowl. She would be sitting happily beside him.


    His mood had been so affected these past two days that even his appetite was poor. Im done. He put down his utensils and prepared to take his leave.


    Young master, you only had half of your portion. Is there something wrong with my cooking? Sister Lan asked out of concern.


    No, I had something to eat earlier.


    He continued his way upstairs. He couldnt stop checking his phone and going onto his social media page. He couldnt stop tossing and turning in bed. Eventually, he jolted out of bed, miserable, and called Xiao Si. Come out and have a drink with me.


    Hehe, youvee crawling back to me after getting into a fight. Im not going out, not after how you treated me this afternoon, Xiao Si said spitefully.


    Who said Im drinking because I had a fight? Luo Sang had a tight rein on me the whole time. I finally have some freedom now and want to have fun. Are youing or not? If you dont go out, Im going to arrange for you to go to the great north on a business trip.


    Xiao Si cursed him silently before reluctantly agreeing. Lets go to the bar.


    At 11:30pm, the two men met in the most luxurious bar in Xia City. The booming music was deafening. Xiao Si was getting dizzy sitting at the bar. Are you crazy? Why didnt you book a room? Youve always hated noise!


    Its quite refreshing to sit out here asionally. Nian Junting ordered four drinks from the bartender. When all the drinks had arrived, he fished out his phone and snapped a photo of the drinks and posted it online.


    Xiao Si watched him and smirked. Are you doing all of this to make Luo Sang jealous?


    Impossible. Im not some. Nian Junting red at him.


    Dont block me, then. Let me see what you posted. Xiao Si chuckled. Dont think I dont know. Nian Xi told me that youve blocked me on your social media ever since you started dating Luo Sang.


    You can block me, too. I dont mind. Nian Junting couldnt be bothered to talk to him. He continued to post more photos on his page. Dont tell Luo Sang that it was only the two of us if she ever asks about tonight.


    What on earth did you post? Xiao Si thought to himself.


    At midnight, Luo Sang refreshed her social media page and saw Nian Juntings new status update. Havent been out to a rave in a while. The night life is amazing! There were two photos attached to the post, a picture of four sses of alcoholic drinks and another photo of men and women rubbing against each other on the dance floor.


    Nian Ximented, Bro, are you sure you should be doing this? Does Sangsang know about this? Do you want to be punished by kneeling on the keyboard?

 Chapter 356. Do You Care About Young Master? Do You Love Him?

    Chapter 356. Do You Care About Young Master? Do You Love Him?


    CEO Nian  What can she do to me?


    Nian Xi  @Sangsang,e out and teach my brother some rules.


    Luosang spent a while staring at the phone before she finally tapped reply and typed a series of words, then thought for a moment and deleted them. Then, she unhappily turned off her phone and threw it away.


    She was really not happy, yet Nian Junting was enjoying himself all this time. She called him all day long, yet he never answered the call. Instead, he went to a bar to have fun.


    There are so many pretty girls, so it must be fun.


    Have as much fun as you want.


    Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and the day after that is Christmas. You can celebrate with someone else.


    Dont evere back to me the rest of your life if you can.


    In the bar, Nian Junting couldnt stop checking his phone, so much so that Xiao Si was even bored. Lets just go back, he suggested.


    Em, alright. Nian Junting stood up and walked a few steps. Then, he found that Xiao Si remained sitting in his seat, looking at him sullenly.


    Is there anything else to do? he asked.


    Xiao Si wanted to vomit blood. He just said that to express his discontent, but he didnt really want to go.


    Weve only spent half an hour here, he said.


    Ive already posted all of my WeChat moments, so why should I stay here? asked Nian Junting.


    Damn you. And you just refused to admit that you came here for a Wechat moment.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment and felt a little guilty, so he added, Dont look at me like that. In the future, when youre in the same situation, I wille here with you.


    I wont be like you though.


    Back in the vi, Nian Junting spent a while lying on the bed, then checked his phone and found noments from Luosang. He lied for a while longer, then checked his phone again. But still, nothing from Luosang.


    The whole night, he had his phone on his bedside table and barely slept.


    In the morning, after the breakfast was served, Sister Lan saw her Young Master sitting in a chair with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.


    Young Master. She paused slightly and said, You didnt sleep well. Maybe you shouldnt have coffee this morning.


    Em, responded Nian Junting with a deep voice.


    It wasnt like this before. Before, as soon as he posted a WeChat Moment, Luosang would leave ament and would always interact with him.


    She hadnt called him again.


    Is she angry?


    Why is she be angry? I should be angry.


    Does she want to get back together with Yi Jingxi? Has she gone blind again?


    Its so difficult. My woman can be blind sometimes.


    Sister Lan, give me your phone, he called Sister Lan.


    Sister Lan puzzled at first, but she handed her phone to Nian Junting with hesitation, saying, Young Master, what do you need it for? My phone only cost about a thousand yuan. Its not as good as your expensive one.


    I want to send Luosang a few WeChat messages with your phone. Dont tell her. While speaking, Nian Junting opened the WeChat app on Sister Lans phone. When seeing Sister Lans WeChat name, he was a little speechless.


    Sister Lans WeChat name wasA Pretty Orchid.


    Thats Nian Junting couldnt think of a thing to say about it.


    Sister Lan immediately figured out that her Young Master had had a quarrel with his girlfriend.


    Well, hes using me again.


    Nian Junting found Luosang on WeChat, then messaged herSangsang, are you in a fight with Young Master?


    Three minutester, Luosang respondedWhy?


    A Pretty OrchidNothing. Young Master seems in a bad mood. Thats why I asked.


    LousangWe had some disagreements.


    A Pretty OrchidYoung Master is really nice. He wouldnt lose temper for no reason. Did you do something wrong to him?


    LuosangSister Lan, dont you know what kind of a person I am? What could I possibly have done wrong to him?


    A Pretty OrchidYoung Masters hand is wounded. Someone bit him. He lost a lot of blood


    LuosangDid you dress his wound? I bit him, but thats because he made me angry.


    A Pretty OrchidSangsang, you care a lot about him, dont you? Do you love him?

 Chapter 357. Oh, I Thought Nian Junting Was Texting Me Using Your Phone

    Chapter 357. Oh, I Thought Nian Junting Was Texting Me Using Your Phone


    After he sent thest text, he didnt get any replies from Luo Sang. Nian Junting fiddled with the phone agitatedly. When he looked up, he saw Sister Lan staring at him. Young master, can I have my phone back?


    Whats the hurry? Go have some breakfast, Nian Junting said coldly.


    After another couple of minutes, he double texted Luo Sang. Why did you stop replying? You dont love young master as much now?


    After a while, the phone buzzed. Xu Luosang popped up on the screen, and Nian Junting swiped to hurriedly hang up. He replied, Young master is beside me right now, I cant pick up the phone.


    Oh, I thought Nian Junting was texting me using your phone.


    Nian Junting grunted and replied, How can that be? Young master would never do such a childish thing. He has beening homete every night. I think he has been out partying. Master Xiao told me that there were manydies chasing after him at the bar. Im just giving you a heads up because were good friends. Dont let such a good man go!


    Im not letting him go, its just that he has been having so much fun outside, I didnt want to disturb his adventures. Ill just let him do whatever he enjoys, Luo Sang replied.


    Im asking you, do you love him or not? If you do, go and look for him tonight. Its Christmas Eve, after all. If you really want to break up or reconcile with Yi Jingxi, then its fine. Whats so great about Yi Jingxi anyway? He cantpare to our young master.


    Um its difficult to exin over text, let me call you.


    Its a yes or no question, why cant you just answer me? Am I right about you?


    Dont be agitated. Lets talk over the phone. Go and hide from your young master. Youve been texting me for so long now, anyway.


    You jinxed it, he just called me. I have to go now. Its ok if you dont want to answer me now. Dont regret it when someone else steals young master away. After sending thest text, Nian Junting cleared the conversation history and returned the phone impatiently. She suspects that I was the one texting her. If she calls, you have to deny everything.


    Sister Lan was stressed. Young master, would you tell me what you were talking about then? Im worried that Ill slip up.


    Nian Junting blushed and said patronizingly, I just advised her to reconcile with me. With that, he marched off.


    Sister Lan looked at her phone and grinned. Ever since he had gotten into a rtionship, young master was bing more and more thick.


    At the CEOs office.


    Everyone in the office could tell that their boss was in a terrible mood that day. He scolded a secretary for eating an apple in the morning, and when Lu Kang brought one for him, he yelled at him and said, Youre only good at delivering apples now, are you? How are things with the mail that I asked you to find?


    Lu Kang replied innocently, I went to the dispatch office, and the delivery guy said that he received an order to deliver the package. When I chased down the sender, it was a blind guy who said that someone offered him 1,000 dors to send the package out, a male, he said.


    Nian Junting snorted in disbelief. What a scheme.

 Chapter 358. Its A Gift from My Woman. Its Filled with her Love

    Chapter 358. It''s A Gift from My Woman. It''s Filled with her Love


    Yeah, theyve racked their brains scheming, Lu Kang added.


    Nian Junting pondered for a while, then said, Find a way to send Ye Chuen abroad. Shes so annoying.


    Lu Kang wanted to cry. Ye Chuen was the niece of the chairwoman of Zhong Zhou, so as an assistant, what could he possibly do to her? Besides, Ye Chuen was now trying everything she could to build her career in the entertainment circle, and she wouldnt want to willingly go abroad.


    Mr. Nian, do you think Ye Chuen did this?


    Im not sure. Just send her abroad, then lets see if more things like this will happen. Well know, said Nian Junting ndly.


    Lu Kang didnt know what to say.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead and said, Get out, Im tired.


    Lu Kang wore a bitter face.


    He was tired too.


    Even sadder was that as Nian Juntings personal assistant, he found that the closer to the end of his work hours, the worse his bosss mood would be. No matter what his boss said, his words would be terribly cold.


    Under Nian Juntings frigid eyes, he gathered enough courage and asked him another question. Mr. Nian, its Christmas Eve tonight. Would you like tobook a table somewhere, and have a date with Ms. Xu?


    Date? Nian Junting turned his icy cold eyes to Lu Kang and responded with, Why would I go on a date with her? Im busy.


    Then Would you like to keep a few apples? Many girls want to receive apples as a gift at Christmas Eve, said Lu Kang kindly.


    Nian Junting red at him and said in a frosty tone, Do you love apples? How many times have you mentioned it? Finish all the apples in your hands before leaving work.


    Lu Kang wanted to cry.


    He brought six apples, and he couldnt possibly eat all of them.


    At half-past five, Lu Kang brought another apple into Nian Juntings office. The apple had a bowknot on it.


    Nian Junting, who was working, saw Lu Kang carefully put the apple on his desk.


    I told you not to bring me apples! Nian Junting angrily threw the apple at the wall.


    The woman hadnt contacted him yet, which meant he was going to spend Christmas Eve alone. Did anyone know how irritated he was?


    He now really wanted to tear every couple in the secretary room who were preparing to spend Christmas Even together apart.


    Lu Kang blinked and said, That apple is from Ms. Xu


    Nian Juntings dark face suddenly froze.


    He abruptly stood up and asked, What did you say? Is it Xu Luosang?


    Yeah, Lu Kang nodded. Do you know any other Ms. Xus?


    Why didnt you tell me earlier? Where is she? Nian Junting red at him and asked, Outside?


    Downstairs. I picked the apple at the bottom of the stairs. She doesnt want toe up, said Lu Kang.


    Nian Junting kicked the chair away and walked out quickly. After walking a few steps, he turned back and picked up the apple from the ground. Earlier, he threw the apple away too hard, so a quarter of the apple was now missing, and the rest of it was covered in wounds.


    He grabbed the apple, wiped it on his clothes, then took a bite of it.


    Lu Kang was shocked. He said, That Mr. Nian, its broken. Dont eat it.


    I have to eat it, so Ill be safe next year. If Im not safe next year, will you take the responsibility? Besides, its a gift from my woman. Its full of her love. Anyway, youve never been in love, so you wouldnt be able to understand. After saying this, Nian Junting walked out of the office inrge steps while eating the apple.


    Lu Kang couldnt think of a word to say.


    We both gave him apples, but why did he treat us so differently?


    Nian Junting quickly went downstairs. Seeing the eye-catching, prettydy standing by the gate who was wearing a vintage style, long dress and a id zer, looking tall and slim, young and fashionable, he immediately slowed down to make himself look proud.

 Chapter 359. What, Are You Trying to Seduce Me with Your Beauty?

    Chapter 359. What, Are You Trying to Seduce Me with Your Beauty?


    As he approached her, Luo Sang turned around. She was wearing light makeup and a cherry blossom pink lipstick that he loved. What are you doing here all dressed up? What, are you trying to seduce me with your beauty? Im not going to forgive you so easily. Im not a superficial man, Nian Junting said harshly.


    Luo Sang hadnt even said a word yet. She was both tickled and angered. She was tickled because he wasplimenting her in a way. Alright, she hadnt dressed up for nothing, then. He was still so spiteful with his words though, it was evident that he hadnt done any self-reflection on his part. If youre not going to speak nicely to me, Im going to take my leave. Luo Sang turned towards the staircase.


    Before she could walk away further, Nian Junting turned her around by her shoulder. Are you leaving because of the way Im talking to you, or is it because Yi Jingxi is back in your life again? Are you losing your patience with me? Look at how viciously you bit me! He waved his injured arm in front of her. It had only just scabbed up after two whole days. He was furious. How was Yi Jingxi better than he was? How could she be so blind? She should really get treated for her poor taste in men.


    Luo Sang looked at his hand. She felt guilty, too. She hadnt expected to bite him so hard, but the moment she thought about how he partied the night before, she felt less guilty about what she did. I bit you because you were being unreasonable. It has nothing to do with Yi Jingxi.


    You know it yourself. Nian Junting smiled coldly at her. Youre unloyal.


    Luo Sang was speechless. Do you still want to spend Christmas Eve together? If not, I can just leave right now.


    Yeah, I guess youd rather spend the night with Yi Jingxi, am I right? Nian Junting red at her and said in a low tone, Xu Luosang, Im telling you right now, if you leave today, dont evere and look for me again.


    Luo Sang felt a pang of pain in her chest. Her throat and nose were instantly all choked up. I dont understand what I have done so wrong.


    You and Yi Jingxi were hugging each other in school, Nian Junting said through gritted teeth. You let him put his arms around your waist. You let him hold your hands. I did the same, but you bit me so aggressively. Nian Junting pulled out the photos from his pocket and threw them at her. Look at it yourself. Youd better give me an exnation.


    Luo Sang looked down and she was shocked. Who gave these to you?


    How would I know? Someone sent them to me, Nian Junting said before Luo Sang picked up the photos and threw them at his face.


    Nian Junting, is my character so questionable in your opinion? How can you believe someone else over me? Luo Sang was furious. Let me tell you, a few days ago, Shui Chang pushed me onto the road, and Yi Jingxi pushed me aside before a car could hit me. This photo was taken when he helped me up. I was in a lot of pain then, so I didnt manage to push him away immediately. Thest photo was taken when he tried to stop me from leaving, and thats when I got into an argument with him.


    Really? Nian Junting was stunned. Youre not lying to me?


    One day, if another woman stumbles into you and appears to be hugging you, am I allowed to misinterpret the situation? Luo Sang asked him.

 Chapter 360. I Finally Know that You Love Me

    Chapter 360. I Finally Know that You Love Me


    You surely cant misunderstand me. I live in the silt but I am not imbrued, Nian Junting responded, making himself sound very reasonable.


    Luosangughed, saying, Are you saying that I live in the silt and am dirty?


    Thats not what I mean. Nian Junting coughed slightly. No matter how dense he could be, he now clearly understood that the woman in front of him was mad. The point is, that man is no one else but Yi Jingxi. You told me yourself that you loved him.


    Youd get angry, even if he wasnt Yi Jingxi. I was just doing homework with a male student, yet you lost your temper. Luosang frowned and raised her head to look at him. What happened in the library was fresh in her memory.


    Nian Junting didnt say anything, but stood there, wearing an indescribable look.


    You cant do that again, Luosang made a deep breath to calm herself down. This was a special day. He could be unreasonable sometimes, and she didnt allow herself to be like him.


    Think about it, Youre a CEO. Youre surrounded by female secretaries and other female employees every day. Off work, you need to engage in all sorts of social activities. Bases on the bad trends in your rich-people society, should I be worrying all day long? No to mention anyone else, An Lan, thewyer who works for yourpany, shes so pretty and she likes so. Should I be jealous of her? Luosang asked.


    An Lan? Nian Junting finally smiled, You have a very good memory. She only saw her once, but you remember her. You werent unhappy back then, werent you? You must have seen her as your biggest rival in love.


    Luosang was speechless.


    He could always misinterpret the meanings of her words.


    Luo, I was wrong, Nian Junting gently held her hands, looking at her with a pair of ocean-deep eyes while saying, I finally know that you love me.


    When did I not love you? Luosang sighed.


    When you bit me, Nian Junting sounded aggrieved, I wanted to control myself that day. But when seeing you sitting together with that boy intimately, I


    Stop, we werent intimate, alright? Dont add wrong words, Luosang raised her hand and said, We kept a distance.


    I dont know. In my eyes, you sitting side by side with a boy means intimacy. Think about it, we go out for dinner, you always sit in front of me. Why do you have to sit side by side to discuss homework? Asked Nian Junting.


    Luosang was again speechless. What I about I sit side by side with you when eating, and face to face with others when discussing homework? Thats the biggestpromise I can make.


    Nian Junting pictured her sitting face to face with a male student and discussing homework, still very unpleasant.


    However, he knew that if he didnt take a step back, tonight would end in an unhappy way.


    Forget it. Since she took the initiative to talk to me, Ill justpromise a little, he said to himself.


    Alright, he said.


    Luosang sighed with relief, raised his hand which was bitten by her, said, In fact, I didnt mean to bite you. You grabbed me too hard.


    Im sorry, Nian Junting finally apologized.


    He was strong indeed.


    Luosang smiled and continued, Have you read The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber? In that book, Zhao Min loved Zhang Wuji, so she bit him hard on his hand to make him remember her.


    Nian Junting puzzled at first, then said, I dont have the time to read it.


    No way, said Luosang.


    My parents were very strict when I was a kid. During my school time and army time, I never finished one TV series, Nian Junting sighed.

 Chapter 361. Youve Changed, Let Me Take a Look at You

    Chapter 361. You''ve Changed, Let Me Take a Look at You


    Luo Sang felt bad for him all of a sudden. Perhaps the greater your family empire, the greater the pressure you must shoulder. Her family had had great hopes for her since she was young, too. Her father was the principle. He would be made aughing stock if her results were bad.


    They didnt have to be so strict with me. Although I dont have a photographic memory, I could still easily breeze through the school years, Nian Junting added.


    She shouldnt have pitied him.


    But now I know that it can mean something else when someone bites me. Luoluo, feel free to bite me whenever you want. He extended his uninjured hand to her.


    Im not a dog, ok? Luo Sang pushed his arm away. Who is so malicious to send you these photos? They are purposely trying to get between us.


    I have two suspicions. Its either Ye Chuen or Yi Jingxi trying to make me jealous. Nian Junting looked solemn. I asked Lu Kang to look into the matter, but it was a dead end, and we didnt manage to find anything.


    Luo Sang nodded. It was a reasonable posttion.


    Oh, right. You said you were pushed by Shui Chang. Are you hurt? Nian Junting nced at her from head to toe. He was frustrated that Yi Jingxi was the one who had saved her, once again. Just like that time when she fell into the pool.


    Thank goodness, Yi Jingxi protected my head Luo Sang was mid-sentence when she noticed that his expression had turned dark again.


    He saved you twice in a row. Nian Junting looked at her indignantly. Are you moved by his actions?


    Impossible. He was the one who sent my father to prison. I feel nothing but repugnance for that man. I would never be thankful for him. Luo Sang shook her head vigorously.


    But I really should thank him this time, Nian Junting said hesitantly. If he hadnt saved you, I would have lost you forever. Its all Shui Changs fault. I went too easy on her previously.


    Lets not pursue this any further. She was driven to the edge when you posted those photos of her online. She received a lot of bacsh from our ssmates. Shes been staying away from me. I dont want any more trouble, Luo Sang pleaded.


    Alright. Nian Junting looked at her quietly. I havent seen you in two days. Youve changed. Let me take a proper look at you.


    How could I have changed within two days? Luo Sang was embarrassed that he was staring at her that way.


    Youre even more beautiful now.


    Luo Sang blushed and realized that it was already time for people to knock off from work. Many of the workers were looking at them curiously.


    Alright, lets not stand here anymore. Your workers are staring.


    So what? Theyre staring because youre so beautiful! Theres nothing to be scared of. Nian Junting chuckled. Im going to show you off to all the single men in this office. He would never forget how miserable he felt when he saw couples around over the past two days.


    I dont want to be stared at like an endangered animal. Luo Sang bit her lip and widened her eyes, signaling Nian Junting to cut it out.


    True. Come up with me, then. I have some documents that I need to settle first. We can go for dinner afterwards. Nian Junting wrapped his arms around her and dragged her towards the elevator. They were in the line of sight of all the workers on their way home. Luo Sang only rxed when they entered the elevator.


    Nian Junting noticed the paper bag that Luo Sang was carrying. What are you holding there? Let me help you.

 Chapter 362. This is My Girlfriend, the Future Mrs. Nian

    Chapter 362. This is My Girlfriend, the Future Mrs. Nian


    Luosang stayed silent and let Nian Junting take the bag.


    He opened the bag and found a grey scarf in it.


    Taking it out, he found that it was a long, mens scarf.


    Is this a gift for me? He smiled and sounded proud. Xia City isnt cold. Why would you give me a scarf?


    Did I say it was for you? Luosang nced at him.


    Its not for me? Who is it for then? Nian Juntings face darkened. Tell me. Ill break his neck so he wont be able to wear it.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    Tell me, Nian Junting said as he stared at her.


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said, I was going to give it to you, but you clearly dont want it.


    I knew it. Its for me. Nian Junting proudly snorted and said, I didnt say that I didnt want it. Its not cold, but since this is a gift from you, Ill wear it no matter how warm it is.


    Once he finished talking, he wrapped the scarf around his neck and looked at himself in the mirror in the elevator. After that, he turned to her and asked, Do I look handsome?


    Yes, very handsome. Luosang straightened the scarf for him. He was wearing a brick-hued, double-breasted suit today. Most people would look old-fashioned in a suit like this, yet he looked like someone who was attending Fashion Week.


    With the scarf that she gave him, he now looked like a tasteful Italian man.


    Its all because of your good taste. Nian Junting put his arm around her and said, Luo, the scarf you gave me is pretty.


    Yeah, I knitted it myself, Luosang smiled.


    Nian Junting paused slightly. He picked up the scarf, looked at it carefully, then he lifted her hands and stared at them while saying, Luo, youre amazing. My woman is really perfect. You can even do difficult work like knitting a scarf. And the scarf is so pretty. Is there any woman who is better than you?


    Hearing hispliments, Luosangs face grew hot. Dont exaggerate. How hard can it be? Many girls can knit scarves.


    None of the women I knew could do it. Youre the first one. Nian Junting wasnt trying to hide his admiration at all. Luo, you needed to study and went on dates with me everyday. You must have put lots of effort into this scarf.


    A little. I stayed up till midnight every night knitting it. Luosang rolled her eyes and said, I was knitting itst night. However, someone was enjoying his time in a bar. Your WeChat Moment was interesting. Maybe you shouldnt spend time with me, and instead hang out with yourself tonight. The night world is fascinating.


    Are you jealous? Nian Junting smiled and said, Dont worry. I didnt touch any women. Nothing is more fascinating than being with you.


    Luosang chuckled and responded with, Didnt you say that I couldnt rule you?


    Of course you cant, but Im willing to let you.


    The elevator had stopped for a while. Nian Junting held her hand, walked out, and said, Luo, I know youve worked hard for this scarf. Ill wear it every day this winter.


    Thinking that Luosang quietly knitted a scarf for him during the days they were in a fight made Nian Junting feel very guilty.


    He told himself that he must treat her better.


    You dont have to do that. The corner of Luosangs mouth twitched slightly. Ill make you a few more if you like.


    Nian Junting carressed the back of her head, then guided her to his office.


    Mr. Nian. The people in the secretary room all stood up hurriedly.


    Let me introduce someone to you, he said in a serious tone, This is my girlfriend, the future Mrs. Nian.

 Chapter 363. Mr. Nian and Mr. Xiao Were Happily in Love

    Chapter 363. Mr. Nian and Mr. Xiao Were Happily in Love


    Everyone in the secretarial area was startled. Secretary Zhao looked at Luo Sang and found her very familiar looking. The other female secretaries were grieving in their hearts, as they thought that Mr. Nian and Mr. Xiao were happily in love.


    How could he have had a change of heart so quickly?


    Nian Junting looked pleased with himself when he saw the look of surprise on the faces of his subordinates. He was proud to show off the fact that he wasnt single. Alright, lets all head home soon, everybody. Its Christmas Eve, after all. Go have an apple with your boyfriends.


    He paused before continuing, Those who are single, dont be too depressed. You will find your own happiness one day. Merry Christmas everyone! He finished his sentence as he wrapped his arms around Luo Sang and dragged her into his office. Nian Junting was wearing a silly grin on his face and looked as if he had just conquered the world.


    Lu Kang chuckled to himself. He wished he could capture this moment and rey it for his boss. Nian Junting had been nothing but unpleasant to work for during the past couple of days. Ive got to hand it to Miss Xu. How did you thaw that block of ice so quickly? Lu Kang thought to himself.


    When the door shut, Luo Sang looked around and noticed a ribbon on the floor of the office. It was the same ribbon she had used to wrap the apple that she had gifted him. She picked it up and asked, Why is this on the floor? Wheres the apple that I gave you?


    Probably the wind. Nian Junting lied conveniently. He didnt want her to know that he had thrown it to the ground earlier. I ate it immediately when I had the chance to. It was delicious. Was it some sort of special variety?


    It was one of those cheap apples she had bought from the roadside. The ttery Luo Sang pressed on. What about your present to me and your apple?


    Nian Junting froze and turned to yell for Lu Kang. Come in here, Lu Kang!


    Mr. Nian Lu Kang burst through the door at his beckoning.


    Wheres the apple? I told you to buy apples for Luoluo. Where did you leave them? Nian Junting gave him a hard stare. Lu Kang had bought so many. Surely, he could just give him one or two.


    Didnt you make me eat all of them? Lu Kang said in his mind. I was so busy today, and I forgot about it. Im sorry, Mr. Nian. Sorry, Miss Xu, Lu Kang said apologetically as he decided to take the fall for his boss.


    Thats no excuse. Never mind. Ive been too easy on you recently. Youve been slipping up quite a bit. Ill have to deduct it from your sry. Nian Junting held Luo Sangs hands and said, Dont be angry, Luoluo. Ill go get one on the streetter. I have your present, though. He pulled out a rectangr box from his drawer. I picked out a ne for you. Look, do you like it?


    Luo Sang opened the box which revealed a shimmering ne with a sapphire stone set in the middle. It was beautiful, but She looked up at him and said, Did you happen to just pick one when you had to buy a ne for Nian Xi on behalf of Ji Chuan?


    Ridiculous. Ive been meaning to buy you a ne for a long while now. Nian Junting looked slightly awkward. The truth was that he didnt know what to get her, but he chanced upon this ne when he was at the jewelry store the day before. Even though he was feeling spiteful and angry, he decided to get it anyway when he was paying the bill. Thank goodness he had decided to get it


    Luo Sang knew she was right when she saw his face. Forget it. Put it on for me, then.


    Sure. Nian Junting brushed his hands along her neck and put the ne on her. She looked graceful and elegant. The ne was made for her.


    Luoluo, look at how much chemistry we have with each other. You knitted me a scarf, and I bought you a ne, Nian Junting said happily. He noticed Lu Kang was still standing around. What are you still doing here?

 Chapter 364. Look Up at the Stars — So Romantic

    Chapter 364. Look Up at the Stars �� So Romantic


    Lu Kang was speechless.


    He didnt want to stay here, as he felt very sorry for himself when watching the two love birds, Nian Junting and Luosang.


    You asked him toe in without letting him out. Whatever. Just do your work then. When you are finished, well go out for dinner, Luosang exined to Nian Junting for Lu Kang. She started to feel sorry for him.


    Normally, Lu Kang would take the me for all sorts of things and as a result, have to fulfill all kinds of unreasonable requirements.


    Alright. As he was reminded by her, Nian Junting immediately said to Lu Kang, Find an expensive restaurant and book me a table.


    Sure, Lu Kang responded and left.


    Nian Junting started work. He only had a few files to sign, yet he clearly read every one of them.


    Before, Luosang often kept himpany when he was working. She was used to how serious he was at work. He was the big boss, yet he always worked sote. Sometimes, all of his employees had left by the time he got off work.


    At about six oclock, when it was dark, Nian Junting finally finished all his work.


    When leaving the office, Lu Kang said to him, Mr. Nian, today is a special day. So many people are eating outside. You told me to book a table, but it was toote. Many restaurants are full, and I only managed to book a table at an Italian restaurant.


    Nian Junting frowned and said, Italian food is no good. Are we going to eat Italian food on our first Christmas Eve together?


    Lu Kang didnt know what to say. Earlier, I asked you if I should book a table for you, and you said no.


    Lets go to that Italian restaurant. Luosang held his arm and said with a soft voice, Ill happily try their food. Lets go. Im hungry.


    Nian Junting drove to the restaurant.


    Not long after leaving thepany, he realized how crowded it was out there. It was almost seven oclock, yet the road was still jammed terribly.


    Why is the road so jammed? After waiting eight minutes, Nian Junting began honking the horn impatiently.


    Its normal. Its a festival after all. Tomorrow night will be worse, said Luosang. She was used to the traffic.


    Lets take another road. Nian Junting drove onto another road from the fork, but in about ten minutes, he found the road jammed again.


    He beganining endlessly. People are really boring nowadays. Its just Christmas Eve. Why did they alle out today? Lookthere are a bunch of women in the car next to us. Why did theye out? They dont even have boyfriends! Are they just here to worsen the traffic?


    Dont single people have the right toe out? Besides, havent you gone out during the festivals? asked Luosang.


    I havent. Nian Junting shook his head and said, Im a homebody.


    Homebody my ass. You wanted toe out all day, even when suffering from a spine injury. And you were hanging out in a barst night.


    We can only wait, Luosang sighed and continued.


    After about thirty minutes, the car had only moved forward about 300 feet. Nian Junting was getting more and more impatient. We finally get a chance to celebrate Christmas Eve, yet the traffic is so bad. Why are we so unlucky? Dinner time is almost over. The restaurant will stop epting guests after eight.


    We can eat somewhere else or go back. Ill cook for you. Luosang looked at the impatient Nian Junting and hurriedlyforted him.


    No. Tonight is special. How could we spend this special night eating at a random ce? I want to give you an impressive, romantic night, said Nian Junting restlessly.


    Luosang was starving at that moment. However, hearing Nian Juntings words, she was touched. She couldnt help but reach out her hands to hold his fist, and say to him with a soft and gentle voice, It is impressive. Spending time with you now, in a car, I mean. Its just the two of us, and nothing is bad. Look up at the stars above ushow romantic.

 Chapter 365. I Wont Be Like This Once I Marry Ji Chuan

    Chapter 365. I Won''t Be Like This Once I Marry Ji Chuan


    Her gentle words were like the summer breeze, calming the anxiety within him and bringing him peace. He looked up to where she was pointing. The night was adorned with glowing stars above them. He had never noticed how beautiful the night sky was where they were.


    Nian Junting looked down at the woman beside him. Her eyes were the reflection of the starry night sky, and she looked as gorgeous and as beautiful as the stars. His heartbeat quickened, and hisrge hand pressed against the back of her hand.


    Luo Sang felt his hot lips quickly overwhelm hers. Her lips were sweet and soft. He hadnt kissed her in three days, but it felt like it had been three years. His tongue navigated swiftly into her mouth, and they were absorbed in a moment of passion. They both let out soft moans, and the sounds escaping from Luo Sangs mouth set his body on fire.


    There was a honk from behind, and Nian Junting had to break the kiss to inch the car forward. Luo Sang pursed her moist lips in slight embarrassment. The car came to a halt yet again, and Nian Junting said to her, These stars arent that spectacr. Have you seen the night sky in Tibet? When I was at Rutog for duty, it felt like the stars were within reach.


    Where is Rutog?


    The most western side of Tibet.


    Thats too far. I wont be able to go there. My body wouldnt be able to take it. Luo Sang smiled.


    Lets go stargazing at sea, then. The night sky there is pretty spectacr, too. Nian Junting smiled.


    Why was he talking about the seaside? They were pretty far away from it.


    Lets go to the seaside during your winter break, after Chinese New Year. Nian Juntingughed lightly. Ill go ask Lu Kang where exactly we should go.


    The two of them were stuck in the traffic jam until eight oclock before the roads cleared up. However, by the time they arrived at the Italian restaurant, the manager informed them that they had had to give another customer their table because they were toote.


    Nian Junting wasnt willing topromise by going to another, possibly subpar, restaurant, so Luo Sang offered to cook for him at home instead. Before they went home, they stopped by the police station to drop off the gift for Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi was wearing her police uniform and holding a box of take-out when she came out to meet them. Nian Junting frowned at the sight of her and said, Why are you eating sote, and what on earth are you eating? I think Xiaosi has better food than you do. Its Christmas Eve, after all. Why do you have to work overtime anyway?


    Come on, how can youpare your dog to me? You dont understand, there will be more idents happening on Christmas Eve, especially in bars and supper ces. Nian Xi giggled. I wanted to rest, but someone else asked me to cover for them since they wanted to spend the asion with their loved ones. Ji Chuan isnt around to apany me anyway, so I took this shift willingly.


    Nian Junting looked a little torn and said, Dont work overtime too much. Youre not even married yet. Dont tire yourself out, or youll look like an old hag soon.


    Wow, look at you, caring for me. Youve grown to show concern for those around you after being in a rtionship, Nian Xi eximed. I know, I know. I wont be like this once I marry Ji Chuan.


    Dont always talk about Ji Chuan. Nian Junting reprimanded her.


    What are you saying? Come on, Ji Chuan is your brother, too. Nian Xi was baffled.


    Luo Sang interjected quickly, Hes just worried about you.


    Nian Xi was shocked for a moment before shuddering. Dont make me cringe, sister.


    Go on. Go on your date, guys. Dont let me get in your way. I have things to handle back in the station, too. Nian Xi waved goodbye to them.

 Chapter 366. Why would we be Apart? Where are You Going?

    Chapter 366. Why would we be Apart? Where are You Going?


    While the car was driving away, Luosang sighed as she watched Nian Xi turn and leave.


    Sometimes, falling love with someone could be scary to a girl, like Nian Xi and Yan Su.


    They were both in a long-distance rtionship. Yan Su was even more miserable than Nian Xi.


    Luosang admired them for being able to hold on to their rtionship.


    What are you thinking about? Nian Junting asked.


    Em Im thinking. If one day, were far away from each other, how long would we continue to stay in love with each other? Luosang sighed.


    Why would we be apart? Where are you going? Nian Junting immediately frowned.


    I was just wondering, said Luosang.


    There is no wondering. We wont ever be apart. Wherever I go, Ill bring you. If you want to go somewhere without me, Ill break your legs, Nian Junting snorted and said.


    Luosang touched her legs gingerly, then rolled her eyes. Her legs were constantly under a threat.


    Back in the vi, Sister Lan and Steward Wu werent there. It was Christmas Eve, so they both went back to their families.


    Luosang opened the fridge and found all sorts of fresh food. When she worked at the vi, she had heard from Sister Lan that every month, different types of fresh foods would be delivered here by air from the supermarkets in Japan and Europe.


    She picked beef steak, sashimi, and arge lobster, as they were easy to prepare.


    Nian Junting walked over and sighed with surprise. You can even cook lobster? Amazing! How are you gonna prepare it? Lobster sashimi? Fry? Grill? Or steam?


    Eh Facing his sparkling eyes, Luosang was a little unconfident. I havent tried cooking lobster. I n to boil it, then eat it with sauce.


    Yeah? It must be delicious. Nian Junting was really looking forward to it. He believed that eating the food she made would be way better than eating in a restaurant.


    She gave him a sense of belonging and made him feel at home. That was not a bad thing.


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched slightly. Hes really confident about my cooking skills.


    Um Were back at home. The heat is on. Just take off your coat and the scarf. Or youll feel hot.


    Its not hot. Your scarf isfortable. Nian Junting rolled up his sleeves and said, Let me fry the steak for you.


    You can do that? Luosang doubted him. Dont hurt your face again.


    I always fried steaks for myself when I was studying in America. Its easy, Nian Junting picked up the frying pan, then began cooking like a professional.


    Luosang didnt try stopping him as he was showing great interest.


    After the lobster was steamed, the two of them set the table and began eating.


    Luosang picked up the knife and fork. Seeing that Nian Junting was still wearing the scarf, she couldnt help but say with a frown. Were going to eat now. Just take that off. You sweated earlier when cooking.


    Yeah? Youre wrong, Nian Junting ignored her and instead started cutting the steak.


    Luosang sighed, and began eating the steak that Nian Junting fried as well. The steak looked good, but after trying it, she found that it was terribly overcooked.


    It was justs as she had thought; Nian Junting wasnt cut out for cooking.


    Nian Junting swallowed a piece of steak, then said excitedly, I havent fried steak in six or seven years. Im surprised that my steak-frying skills are as good as they were before.


    Six or seven years? Luosang nearly choked on the steak.


    Yeah, he replied.


    She didnt know what to say.


    Its good, isnt it? Have some more. Nian Junting cut off a piece of his steak, then handed it to Luosang, saying, Open your mouth; let me feed you.


    Luosang slowly opened her mouth, then chewed and swallowed the steak with some difficulty.


    Usually, Nian Juntings taste for food was normal. Luosang just couldnt understand why he was so confident about his steak.

 Chapter 367. Merry Christmas, I Love You

    Chapter 367. Merry Christmas, I Love You


    Have some lobster. Luo Sang divided the lobster into two portions and ced one half on his te. It was her first time making lobster, and she made sure to watch the fire when she steamed it. Thank goodness the meat was not overcooked, and she managed to keep it tender. The vor was decent, as well.


    Luoluo, this is delicious! Nian Junting was full ofpliments for the dish. He took a couple of bites before taking out his phone.


    What are you doing?


    Im going to post our dinner online.


    Luo Sang blinked and thought, My boyfriend is such a social media spammer She couldnt help but refresh her own social media page on her phone to look at his new status update.


    A special dinner by a special someone tonight, delicious Merry Christmas everybody, the caption read.


    She quickly hit reply on the post. Merry Christmas, I love you. She proceeded to say to him, Go check on your post.


    Nian Junting opened his page again, and this time, his ears turned bright red. His expression bloomed into a grin, and he picked up a piece of sashimi for himself. Suddenly, a drop of soy sauce dripped onto his scarf. His expression changed immediately as he frantically grabbed a napkin to clean the scarf. Unfortunately, he only managed to spread the stain.


    My scarf! he said in exasperation. Its dirty now. He looked like a child who had just broken his favorite toy.


    Thats alright, we just need to wash it, Luo Sang chimed in quickly.


    But you made this for me with your own hands. I cant believe I dirtied it less than three hours after I received it, Nian Junting said, frustrated.


    Didnt I tell you to remove it when you eat? Luo Sang was frustrated, too.


    You gifted this to me. I want to wear it even when Im eating, Nian Junting said matter-of-factly.


    Luo Sang was taken aback. She couldnt bear to see him get upset like this. It made her upset as well.


    When she had been in a rtionship before, Yi Jingxi never treasured her gifts as Nian Junting did. He was the only one who sincerelyplimented her for everything that she did. Although he had a bad temper, and he was bossy and easily jealous, he was also direct and passionate, warm and innocent.


    Hmm, I can make you another one over the Lunar New Year when Im free. Come on, dont be upset anymore. Luo Sang nted a kiss on his cheek.


    Nian Junting turned and kissed her on the lips. He was finally appeased.


    After their meal, Luo Sang watched as he took the scarf to the bathroom to clean. She followed behind him and saw him squeeze a drop of detergent onto the scarf and scrub the scarf in a gentle and clumsy manner.


    Her heart melted at that moment.


    After dinner, Luo Sang showered downstairs, and Nian Junting showered upstairs. When he came out of the shower, he threw the remote control onto herp. I want to watch Heavenly Sword and the Dragon ying Saber, especially the episode where Zhao Ming bites Zhang Wuji.


    Luo Sang was speechless. He was always so random. How can I remember which episode it was?


    Thenb through every episode. We have so much time to kill tonight, anyway. Nian Junting rested his hands on his waist.


    Luo Sang took forever to find that episode, since it was a short scene. After he watched it, Nian Junting was emotionally affected and held out his arm to her mouth. Bite me, bite me as hard as you love me.


    What do you do when your boyfriend is so retarded? she thought.


    If you dont bite me, Ill bite you, then. Nian Junting grabbed her arm and opened his mouth to bite her.


    Dont, Im scared of pain! Luo Sang yelled.

 Chapter 368. Theyre Trying to Save Him. I Need to be There

    Chapter 368. They''re Trying to Save Him. I Need to be There


    Nian Junting opened his mouth wide to bite her.


    Luosang closed her eyes, waited for a while, but then felt that he only bit her gently on the wrist.


    She opened her eyes to find him smiling at her, his eyes narrowed. His handsome face glowed under the light as he said, Your skin is so tender. I dont want to bite you, but I can kiss you.


    After saying that, he kissed her arm over her clothes. His lips went up to her neck.


    Its itchy. Luosang tried to dodge him, but instead fell onto the couch.


    Nian Junting struggled up, his hands by her ears. He dropped his head and said to her with a dry voice, Luo, Im feeling ufortable.


    Luosang nced at his lower body, then her earlobes turned scarlet.


    She hesitated for a little while


    Nian Junting was delighted. He lowered his head further and kissed her deeply.


    Earlier, they made out in the car, but he didnt get what he had wanted.


    Tonight, there was just two of them. They didnt need to worry that someone else might interrupt them.


    He kissed her over and over again.


    Some time had passed, but he didnt make any progress at all.


    She wanted to cry.


    Your woundHas it healed yet? Nian Junting looked at her in the eyes.


    Luosang blushed.


    I wont touch that area then, he chuckled as he pressed her onto the couch.


    About ten minutester, Luosang went into the bathroom to take another shower. Her face was as red as a steamed shrimp.


    Aftering out of the bathroom, she tiredly climbed into the bed. Nian Junting walked in with an apple, saying, I washed it for you. You have to eat an apple on Christmas Eve, so youll be safe the next year, like me.


    Thank you. Luosang was touched. She curled up on the bed and shared the apple with him.


    The next morning, she woke up to find that she was still on therge bed. She sat up and saw a pink box on the bedside table.


    She opened it and found a fishtail dress in it.


    Do you like it? Its your Christmas gift from me. Wearing this, youll be the center of attention today when hosting the Christmas Show at your school. Nian Juntings voice was abruptly heard from the changing room. He was smiling, wearing a trench coat and the scarf that she gave to him, looking like a gentleman, but also like a yuppy.


    I like it. Its beautiful. Luosang raised her face and said, Junting, youre so nice to me.


    Nian Junting proudly grinned and said, Ill hold your hand in front of everyone, so peoplell know that this beautiful host belongs to me only. I heard that Yi Jingxi will be there too, right? Ill make him so angry.


    Luosang paused slightly, thenughed. Havent you made him angry enough? Youre boring. Im going to wash.


    There was an important activity tonight, so she washed her hair. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Nian Junting standing by the window on the phone, his face showing an extremely serious look.


    Alright, I get it. Ill take the nearest flight there. I wont tell her.


    Luosang never saw him so anxious before. As he ended the call, she walked to him and asked, Is something wrong?


    Em, Ji Chuan got shot during a mission. Theyre trying to save them now. I need to be there, Nian Junting clenched his phone and said.

 Chapter 369. Even If Something Happens to Me, You Have to Be My Widow

    Chapter 369. Even If Something Happens to Me, You Have to Be My Widow


    Luo Sang was shocked. Is it serious? If Ji Chuan was in grave danger, what would Nian Xi do?


    They told me it was quite critical, Nian Junting said as he quickly packed his suitcase.


    Luo Sang began to help him pack as well. What about Nian Xi? Does she know about this?


    Im not nning on telling her now. I dont want her to worry. Ill head over with Xiao Si first.


    Nian Junting turned and looked at her with a frown. I said I was going to watch you at your school Christmas G. I dont think I can make it anymore. I cant be sure when I will return from this trip. I cant put my mind at ease knowing that Yi Jingxi is still around to bother you. Ill ask Lu Kang to stay behind and look out for you. Just give him a call if anything happens. You can call Nian Xi as well.


    Alright, Ill take care of myself. I think you should let Nian Xi know about what happened, though. Its her fianc, after all. If anything happens to Ji Chuan, shell never forgive you if she didnt get to see him for thest time, Luo Sang said gently.


    Ji Chuan will be fine. He is incredibly resilient. However, Nian Junting looked pale with worry. It seemed almost as if he was convincing himself. I wont feel at ease if Nian Xi goes to that ce. Were going to the border between China and India, at the edge of Tibet. Conditions and weather are poor over there. Its pretty chaotic, and its too unsafe for her to go.


    What about you, then? Its unsafe for you to go as well. Luo Sang was shocked.


    Whats so unsafe about me going? Nian Junting circled his arms around her. I always went to those ces back when I served in the army. Ill be careful and take care of myself, dont worry. There will be military soldiers there, too. Ji Chuan and I have been family friends since we were young. He is the only son of his family. His dad will be traveling there as well. He is already over fifty years old and might not be able to endure the harsh conditions. My grandpa insisted that I apany Uncle there.


    I know, but please be careful. Luo Sang squeezed his hands tightly. It was the first time she had to handle something like this. If anything happens to you, I will have to find another boyfriend.


    Say that again. Nian Junting red at her and gripped onto her shoulders tightly. Let me tell you, even if something happens to me, you have to be my widow. If you dont, Ill be sure to crawl out of the grave.


    Luo Sang shuddered. This guy was sick. Enough. Stop saying these inauspicious things. You will be fine.


    Of course. There will be military reinforcements wherever I go over there. I promise I wille back in one piece. Nian Junting released her and closed his suitcase. Ill get the chauffeur to drive you to schoolter. Im going to head out now.


    What about breakfast?


    I dont have an appetite. Ill have some food on the ne. If Nian Xi asks you about where I went, just tell her that I went on a business trip. Nian Junting was already climbing down the stairs with his luggage in hand.


    Luo Sang saw him all the way to his car. When he got in, he turned to kiss her. Wait for me at home, dont do anything that youll be sorry for. You have to recite that you love me at least once a day. Bye! He quickly sped off.


    Luo Sang stood in the same spot until the car disappeared from her sight. Then, she went back into the house after shuddering in the cold weather.


    Sangsang, have some breakfast before you go to school. You dont want bete, Sister Lan said.

 Chapter 370. Nian Junting sent Those Messages with Your Phone, Right?

    Chapter 370. Nian Junting sent Those Messages with Your Phone, Right?


    Luosang invited Sister Lan to sit with her by the dining table.


    Sister Lan was nervous the whole time, as she worried that Luosang might ask her about those WeChat messages.


    She quickly finished a bowl of porridge, then said, I need to do the cleaning.


    The house is clean. Besides, Nian Junting isnt here, so whats the rush? Sit, Luosang stopped her and said smilingly, Sister Lan, thanks to you, Nian Junting and I made finally made peace this time.


    Oh, yeah? Hehe, Sister Lan grinned embarrassedly.


    I was touched by what you said to me, Luosang said while stirring the porridge in her bowl. If you didnt tell me that he came back drunk from a bar the night beforest night calling my name, I wouldnt have known that he actually cared so much about me.


    Sister Lan sighed with relief and said, Yeah, yeah. Young Master was really drunk that night. He called your name for a long time. You just didnt see the awful dark circles under his eyes the next morning


    Before she finished, Sister Lan found that Luosang was staring at her with a weird, big smile.


    Sister Lan, you didnt tell me that on WeChat. I was tricking you. Luosang raised her eyebrows and continued, Be honest with me. Who sent those messages?


    Sister Lan immediately covered her mouth, then tried to exin, I forgot


    Alright, Sister Lan. Every time you lie, you roll your eyes very quickly. Luosang found Sister Lans reaction funny. In fact, Nian Junting sent those messages with your phone, am I right?


    Sangsang, how could you set up traps for me? Sister Lan gave her aining nce, saying, Alright, I admit. But, you cant tell Young Master. Hes concerned about saving his face. If he found out, hed deduct my wage.


    Was it really him who sent those messages? The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched, as she felt very speechless. He actually sent those messages himself. How shameless he was?


    Yeah, he took my phone, Sister Lan sighed. But that night, he really didnt get much sleep. And he barely ate anything those few days. He went to a bar that night, but he ws back in about an hour and a half. The bar is half an hours drive away, so he only stayed there for about half an hour.


    Luosang finally knew the truth.


    She guessed that he posted that WeChat Moment about him enjoying his time in the bar just to stimte her.


    He didnt go to the bar especially for a WeChat Moment, did he? He cant be that predictable.


    Hes really proud.


    But why I feel that hes so cute?


    The cute man had only left for a short while, yet she had already started to miss him.


    After breakfast, the chauffeur drove her to the school. At Christmas, the school looked busier than usual.


    Luosang was going to host the Christmas show tonight, so during the daytime, she needed to confirm the draft with the people from other departments for thest time.


    On her way to the music department, she ran into Ye Chuen. They hadnt seen each other for quite a long time.


    Not bad. You look vigorous under Juntings care, Ye Chuen gave a fake smile and said to her.


    It seems that you havent had enough bungee jumping. Ill mention it to Junting next time. Once Luosang said that, Ye Chuens face paled.


    Luosang, dont think that you can stay like this for long, Ye Chuen sneered and said, I heard that Yi Jingxi will be here tonight. Theres a great show to be watched.


    After she finished speaking, she chuckled and walked away.


    Looking at her back, Lousang felt depressed.


    Chi Shengxu came down from the stairs nearby, saw Luosang and said to her, Luosang, did Ye Chuen say something to you? Ignore her.

 Chapter 371. Sangsang, Im Giving You One Last Chance

    Chapter 371. Sangsang, I''m Giving You One Last Chance


    I heard from the principal that there is a spot avable at the Conservatory of Paris, and he wants to give the opportunity to Ye Chuen, Chi Shengxu said. She probably wont be staying in Ximei anymore.


    Luo Sang was shocked. She felt aggrieved. How does she deserve the spot, given her lousy results?


    Connections, I guess. Chi Shengxu was hesitant. Your ex-fianc will be here at the event tonight as well. Will you be ok?


    Ill be fine as long as he stays out of my way. Luo Sang gave him a light smile.


    Be careful, I heard that there is going to be a lot of press at the event tonight. Dont make any mistakes. Dont be too nervous, either. Ill help you out, Chi Shengxu said gently.


    Luo Sang was touched by his words. Her friendship with Chi Shengxu wasnt exactly the longest, but he never held himself back when it came to lending her a helping hand. If if my identity gets revealed tonight, donte to my aid.


    Why would you say that? Chi Shengxu asked seriously.


    Luo Sang recalled Yi Jingxis threat a few days ago and sighed. I have a bad feeling. You have a bright future ahead of you. Do yourself a favor and dont get into my messy business. Alright, I have to go do something. See youter tonight. She waved and turned to leave.


    Chi Shengxu continued to stare as she took her leave.


    Ximei at night was soaked in Christmas spirit. Luo Sang was changing into her gown and doing her makeup backstage. She didnt even have time for dinner. As the emcee of the event, she was the first to be on stage.


    As she stood before the full-length mirror, she carefully smoothed out thest crease in her dress. She was wearing the gown that Nian Junting had gifted her, a ck mermaid dress paired with high stilettos, and her figure was ttered in this tight-fitting ensemble. She looked mysterious and alluring.


    She inhaled sharply at her own reflection. If only Nian Junting was around tonight. She quickly fished out her phone and dialed his number, but the call didnt get through She sighed deeply. Just as she turned around, she saw Yi Jingxi walk backstage along with the principal.


    Come, Luo Sang, meet Mr. Yi. The principal waved at her.


    Luo Sang walked over and the principal continued, This is our emcee for tonight, Luo Sang.


    Very pretty. Yi Jingxi smiled in an enigmatic way. No wonder people always redited Ximei as the top academy for both brawn and brains. Even Chi Shengxu is attending school here, am I right? Its quite remarkable that your talents here are both so pretty and impressive.


    The students will be pleased to hear that from you, Mr. Yi. Principal He nodded. Ill bring you over to the other side. Principal He led the way, and Yi Jingxi followed behind him. When he brushed shoulders with Luo Sang, he whispered, Sangsang, Im giving you onest chance.


    Without even looking at him, she began to walk away. Yi Jingxi added in a hushed voice, Nian Junting isnt around tonight. I heard hes out of the country. You probably wont be seeing his assistant around tonight, either. When he finished, he briskly followed behind the principal.


    Luo Sang was unnerved as she watched him walk away. She quickly dialed Lu Kangs number. Assistant Lu, where are you now?


    Im at thepany, Lu Kang said desperately. I was making my way there when Mr. Nians grandma suddenly appeared. I cant just leave her here.

 Chapter 372. I Wont Let You Fly, Even if I need to Give up Everything I Have

    Chapter 372. I Won''t Let You Fly, Even if I need to Give up Everything I Have


    Luosangs heart sank to the bottom.


    All of this couldnt just be a coincidence. It seemed that Yi Jingxi had joined hands with Ye Family.


    Is anything wrong? asked Lu Kang.


    No. Luosang said. Lu Kang might not be able to make it to the school, even if he left thepany now. Besides, if Luosang insisted on asking Lu Kang to leave thepany, Yu Wen might be displeased. Lu Kang was just an assistant, and Luosang didnt want to put him in a difficult situation.


    Most importantly, she knew that she would have to face all of this sooner orter, so she had no fear.


    I just want to know if Junting has contacted you or not. His number is disconnected, she said to Lu Kang.


    Mr. Nian is going through somewhere remote at this time, so bad signal can be expected. Ms. Xu, dont worry about him, Lu Kangforted her.


    Alright then. Luosang hung up on the phone.


    Yao Yueyue walked over and said to her, Luosang, thats Yi Jingxi, right? If he offers to sign you, please dont ept. Hispany has an awful reputation. I heard that some actresses in hispany were asked to escort investors.


    I know that, Luosang nodded, knowing that Yao Yueyue had no evil intention.


    I really dont understand why the president brought that kind of a person backstage, Yao Yueyue sighed.


    I guess he had no choice. After all, the Yi Group owes a giant movie and television base. Luosang smiled and said, A school president has to be responsible for the futures of his students. Hows your show ?


    Eh, our show is ruined by Shui Chang. The substitution is a dabbler. Professor Li was going to cancel the show, but he didnt want to ruin the effort that the rest of us had made. Its all our fault. We shouldnt have listened to Shui Chang. While speaking, Yao Yueyue nced at Luosang apologetically.


    Its okay, just do your best. The audiences will not only pay attention to the ensemble, but will also notice your individual performances. Try to get yourself a chance to take the internship in a television station, Luosang encouraged her, then turned to wait toe on the stage.


    At half-past seven, the show started on time.


    Luosang came on the stage and saw Yi Jingxi sitting in the seventh seat in the first row. He was wearing a ck suit, looking outstandingly handsome among the crowd.


    Luosang gazed at him for two seconds, then turned her eyes away. She started introducing the guests and the show with clear artiction and a mellow and full tune.


    Yu Jingxi fixed his eyes on her. Tonight, she was glowing and surpassingly beautiful; she caught the eyes of everyone on the scene.


    Behind him, some TV station leaders were whispering to each other, This host has good stage manner. Theres no stage fright, and shes naturally beautiful. Her English is fluent as well.


    Indeed. She doesnt seem to have had any stic surgeries either. I heard that shes from the broadcasting apartment.


    Maybe we can sign her, then focus on training her.


    Yi Jingxi crossed his slender fingers, eyes showing affection and the desire to possess.


    That was the woman he liked. If he didnt dim her glow, she would be a star sooner orter.


    Sangsang, I wont let you fly into the sky, even if I need to give up all I have for that purpose.


    At the worst, he would return to the beginning, when he had nothing. He didnt care.


    Luosang managed to stay calm until ten oclock. The Christmas show wasing to an end, and she felt more and more stressed.


    Finally, thest performance finished. Luosang went back on the stage to give the ending speech. However, before she finished, a series of sobs was suddenly heard from the sound system.


    He pounced on me like a hungry wolf. I tried to dodge him, but he ignored that He said, as long as I did what he said, hed make me a star Yes, that man is Xu Zhengxuan, the president of the College of Art in An City. Hes an animal

 Chapter 373. How Dare You Hurl Things at a Woman

    Chapter 373. How Dare You Hurl Things at a Woman


    Luo Sang froze, and her face was as pale as a sheet. Her nightmare from two years ago had started with that voice as well. Her life had been swarming with police officers and reporters ever since.


    Before she could calm her nerves, a video of Xu Zhengxuan being taken away by the police in the courtroom appeared on the screen behind her. Let go of my father. He would never do that sort of thing. Dad She was bawling and chasing after her father in the clip. The police had forcefully pulled her away, and she was bombarded by the reporters soon after.


    Miss Xu, did you know about what your father did to the students? Have you always known?


    Ridiculous, you dont have proof.


    The event tonight was full of various notable figures and celebrities from the entertainment industry. Almost the entire cohort was there as well. Someone quickly shouted, The girl in the video looks exactly like the emcee!


    Oh god, she is the daughter of the principal that was charged with sexual misconduct two years ago. Why is she in our school?


    The auditorium was buzzing.


    Luo Sang looked at the screen behind her. In the original news clip, her face was blurred when they aired the interview. Two yearster, the original raw footage was shown to all her new ssmates and teachers.


    Sheughed.


    For two years, she had been living in fear and trepidation, worried that someday, someone might find out and reveal her identity to the world. She was worried that people around her would look at her with disgust again. She had been kept on her toes, and she never once imagined that she would be exposed in such a cruel manner.


    She looked at Yi Jingxi, who was still sitting in the front row. He had his legs crossed, and he watched her quietly. His face was cold and menacing, as if he was taunting her to beg him for mercy.


    The principal stood up and yelled angrily, Turn this off. Who is ying this?


    The operating staff ran over to switch the projector off. The audience was already enraged. The media was taking lots of photos as well.


    Someone shouted, How can someone like that take on the role of emcee tonight?


    Someone said that she had something going on with Professor Ma earlier on. Could it be true?


    Perhaps. Her dad was a criminal, so maybe she took after his genes.


    Luo Sang shut her eyes tightly and picked up the microphone. Stop the discussions. Yes, I am Xu Luosang. I hid my surname and took on a new identity so that I could attend school again. This has nothing to do with anyone. This concludes the Christmas Ball


    Get out of there. Someone hurled a bottle of mineral water at her and hit her arm.


    Luo Sang backed away pathetically when a strong figure appeared behind her and shielded her. He grabbed the microphone and yelled angrily, Try that again. How dare you hurl things at a woman? Touch your heart and ask yourselves, are you all just in jealous that you didnt get to be the one standing here emceeing tonight?


    It was Chi Shengxu, the handsome and famous Chi Shengxu. When he appeared, all the reporters rushed forward like a hungry pack of wolves ready to devour him.


    Shengxu, whats your rtionship with her. Why are you defending her?


    Shengxu, do you like her?

 Chapter 374. Youre Not Alone

    Chapter 374. You''re Not Alone


    Reporters surrounded Chi Shengxu, giving him a torrent of questions.


    Before he answered any questions, someone shouted out loud, I know, I know, Chi Shengxu has repeatedly and openly mentioned that he and Xu Luosang were friends since they were little.


    Hearing that, a reporter immediately asked a new question. So Xu Luosang is your schoolmate. Then whats your rtionship with Xu Zhengxuan?


    I dont know Xu Zhengxuan, but Luosang and I are friends, Chi Shengxu responded without hesitation.


    My God, youre friends with a molesters daughter, the reporter sounded surprised.


    Shes not her father. She did nothing wrong. Chi Shengxu shielded Luosang from the cameras while moving toward the backstage.


    The group of reporters intended to follow him. Thankfully, President He now realized what had happened. In order to protect Chi Shengxu, he immediately ordered the security people to stop the reporters.


    Luosang drew back to the backstage section. The students backstage had roughly figured out what had happened. They pointed at Luosang, whispered to each other, but no one walked to her.


    Sangsang, did Yi Jingxi do that? Yan Su came out of the crowd and held Luosangs hands. She found that Luosangs hands were cold.


    Yan Su, stay away. Didnt you hear what they were saying outside? A female student tried to warn Yan Su.


    Dont bother. She knew Luosangs true identity long ago, Ye Chuen walked up, gave a sneer, and said, Shengxu, are you crazy? How could you stand out and help her under that kind of a situation? You should better go out now and exin to those reporters, or your career will stop right here.


    Ye Chuen. Before, I thought you were okay, but now, you just seem to be more and more disgusting to me. Luosang, lets go, Chi Shengxu held Luosangs hand and prepared to leave.


    I said that for your own good! Ye Chuen stomped her foot against the ground and screamed angrily.


    Luosang frowned, stopped Chi Shengxu, and said, Im really touched that you stood up for me. But Ye Chuen is right. There are reporters out there. This isnt the same as before


    Luosang, I clearly know what kind of a person you are. Youre my friend. I cant let you face all of this alone. I dont care enough about what others think of me to do that, Chi Shengxu said as dragged her off and left in a rage.


    Yan Su followed behind them.


    They went to the back door, and the reporters chased in behind. Chi Shengxu held Luosangs hand, rushing all the way to his car, finally getting rid of the reporters.


    Luosang had been very quiet.


    Yan Su worried about her. Sangsang, dont worry. This time, we are with you. Youre not alone.


    Im not worrying. Luosang turned back to smile at her calmly, saying, I suddenly feel relieved. In fact, I was constantly fearful before. I feared that people might find out who I really am. Now, everybody knows, but I dont care anymore. Worst case scenario, what happened two years ago might happen once again. What is there to be afraid of? Does Yi Jingxi think Ill surrender after this? He really underestimated me. I just didnt think hed uncover all of this in such a cruel way.


    Hes a b*stard Yan Su said through clenched teeth.


    The Christmas show was thoroughly ruined. The school had spent more than a month preparing for it and invited so many directors and investors. But now, it was all ruined.


    Not to mention the fact that the whole school was on the scene tonight.


    Even spreading the story online would be better than what had happened tonight.


    Yi Jingxi first let the people hear the voice of the victim to arouse their empathy, then yed the video to make the whole school hate Luosang.


    Wheres Nian Junting? Chi Shengxu asked.


    Hes on a trip. I cant get in touch with him. Luosang gave a bitter smile.


    Damn, Chi Shengxu cursed with a low voice.

 Chapter 375. Please Allow Me to Send You Overseas for a While

    Chapter 375. Please Allow Me to Send You Overseas for a While


    The moment Chi Shengxu arrived at the apartment, he started receiving calls from his manager. Before he left, Luo Sang said to him, Shengxu, its not toote now. You should apologize and stay clear away from me. Yi Jingxi wont let you off so easily.


    Im not afraid of him. I have my own connections, too. I dont believe he can do whatever he wishes. Chi Shengxu left in a hurry.


    After Chi Shengxu left, Lu Kang hurried over after receiving Yan Sus call. Im so sorry, Miss Xu. Young master asked me to take care of you, but I let him down. Ive already made several phone calls to several mediapanies to snuff out what happened tonight, but three of thepanies are under the Yi Groups control. I dont think Ill be able to control the news coverage without Mr. Nian and Mr. Xiao around. Please allow me to send you overseas for a while for your own safety. Mr. Nian will surely take care of this once he returns.


    You can grab a hold of Mr. Nian? Yan Su asked anxiously.


    Lu Kang shook his head desperately. He is in a small town near the Himyas. Its freezing cold over there. The reception is at its worst. Theres no way of getting through to his cell phone. Were going to have to wait for a couple of days for them to reach their destination.


    Luo Sang was shocked. She couldnt believe her luck.


    How about Mr. Nians mother? Yan Su said, She has epted Luo Sang already, hasnt she? Will she be of any help?


    Lu Kang shrugged again. I checked on my way over. The Murongs are in Find for a vacation. Theyre on their flight right now.


    Yan Su was baffled. How can everything happen so coincidentally? Are they going overseas on purpose?


    Lu Kang was silent.


    Luo Sang said calmly, I guess whatever Junting said about his grandparents epting me into the family was a white lie. They must still have objections against me.


    Shameless, Yan Su said angrily. Never mind, theres no counting on them for sure. I think Lu Kang is right. You should head overseas to ride out this storm. You wont be able to continue going to ss anymore. Stay overseas for maybe half a year and wait for the worst to pass. Mr. Nian will be back by then as well.


    Susu is right. Lu Kang added, Mr. Nian will never let me off if anything happens to you. He told me that he didnt want to see youe to any harm.


    Ok, Ill leave. Luo Sang finally nodded in agreement.


    She tossed and turned the whole night. The next morning, she saw the news and was shocked. The headlines read, Daughter of sexual criminal childhood beau with Chi Shengxu. The photo below the headlines was snapped when the two of them were leaving the auditorium the night before.


    Many more students who once used her father of sexual misconduct stepped forward to recount their stories once more. It was a catastrophe.


    Luo Sang looked at her social media page and saw many negativements directed at Chi Shengxu. Even his own fan page was filled with enragedments, and many fans were threatening to unfollow him.

 Chapter 376. Xu Luosang cant get suspended from School. Maybe She Can Take A Vacation.

    Chapter 376. Xu Luosang can''t get suspended from School. Maybe She Can Take A Vacation.


    Of course, many of his fans believed that Luosang dragged Chi Shengxu into this trouble and cursed her whole family.


    Her photos were spreading online. Almost every detail of her past was dug out.


    Someone uploaded the pictures of her and Nian Junting holding hands. They said that she had hooked up with the CEO of Shengting. Even some stories about Shengting were uncovered.


    Luosang hurriedly called Chi Shengxu.


    Sangsang, why did you call me so early in the morning? Did you miss me? Chi Shengxu sounded rxed.


    How could you still make jokes right now? Luosang felt very sorry. Im afraid your manager is worried to death now. Things became like this after just one night. I think the Yi Group is pulling the strings behind this. Theyre trying to destroy you.


    I did nothing wrong. If you were me, youd do the same. Im telling you, dont go outside alone. Its not safe, Chi Shengxu warned her.


    Luosang couldnt have felt more guilty. Even now, he was still worried about her.


    At eight oclock in the morning, Lu Kang sent a flight ticket to Luosang. Mr. Nian owns an apartment in France, he said. Im sending you to that ce. You can stay there for a while. Not even the Murong Family people know about that apartment.


    No, I cant leave now. Luosang shook her head. Chi Shengxu is in trouble because he helped me. I cant just leave like this.


    You cant do anything, even if you do stay, said Lu Kang anxiously. The inte is highly developed now. Some extremists are already trying to find you.


    Ill stay for a few more days, said Luosang fretfully, Yi Jingxi wont try to kill me. He just wants to torture me, and take away everything I have.


    At that moment, President Hes assistant called her, asking her to go to the presidents office.


    There must be many reporters around your school right now. Ill go with you. Lu Kang worried about her.


    Luosang nodded. On their way, someone called Lu Kang and told him that a group of reporters were at the door of Shengting.


    Just drop me off at the school gate, then go back to thepany, Luosang hurriedly said to Lu Kang.


    If the president gives you a hard time


    Ill be fine. Even if he expels me from the school, Junting will figure out a way to fix it when hes back. Shengting is more important right now. Thepany doesnt belong to him alone. Its also about the other shareholders interests.


    With no other choice, Lu Kang drove Luosang to school, then left.


    Luosang disguised herself on her way to the school, so no one recognized her. As she walked into the office, the president looked at her. He was displeased, yet was trying to stay mild.


    Xu Luosang. Our whole school is troubled because of you. Also, because of you, Professor Ma has been suspended, said the president.


    What does Professor Ma have to do with this? Luosang didnt understand.


    He rmended you into the school. You visited him at his home many times. The other students are unhappy about that. He cant tell everyone that he helped you because of your father, can he? You know what kind of person your father is. If Professor Ma mentions your father, things will only be worse. The president continued ndly, Mr. Nians assistant has called me. But Mr. Nian has still not appeared. His assistant said that hes on a business trip. However, who knows about your real rtionship? Youll be suspended from school for now.


    Can I ask when I cane back? Luosang asked.


    The president stayed silent.


    Xu Luosang cant be suspended from school. Maybe she should, instead, take a vacation. The door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Chi Shengxu walked in. Following behind him was a middle-aged woman, around fifty years old, wearing a purplish red, knitted skirt suit.


    Ms. Feng. President He hurriedly stood up.

 Chapter 377. You Look Just Like Your Mother

    Chapter 377. You Look Just Like Your Mother


    Principal He, my apologies about my son. He has always been reckless like this, Feng Ge said as she shook the principals hand.


    Thats alright, Im used to it. The principal chuckled and beckoned for his assistant to bring over the tea. Director Feng must be here regarding what happened to Shengxust night. He was being quite rash, indeed.


    Feng Geughed and directed her gaze to Xu Luosang. After focusing on her face for a moment, she said, Shengxu woke me up in the morning to ask me to help this littledy. Principal He, you are a smart man. If not for someones ill intentions, the video would not have leaked outst night. Someone must have plotted meticulously for the series of unfortunate events to unfold so coincidentally.


    That may be true, but the fact is that her identity is known to everyone now. As the principal of the school, I must do my best to protect the schools reputation. Director Feng, I think you should stay out of this matter. Shengxu seems to be entangled in this mess, Principal He said helplessly.


    I enjoy being in this mess! Chi Shengxu yelled.


    Alright, shut up. Feng Ge red at him to put him in his ce and continued to address the principal. I support Shengxu for what he did. To be frank, I dont think this girl hasmitted any crime here. Someone is purposely trying to pick on her. She could have been seriously hurt if Shengxu hadnt stepped upst night.


    Luosang was shocked. She thought that Chi Shengxus mother would be like Kang Ying


    Feng Ge continued, Just by considering the fact that she is Nian Juntings girlfriend, you should think twice before making any hasty decisions. Nian Junting had to leave Xia City due to an emergency. He wont let matters off so easily once he returns. Just think about the Nian familys status. I am going to help this girl out as well. If you dont agree with me, Im going to have Shengxu transfer schools.


    Director Feng, that wont be necessary. Shes not even going to be your daughter-inw, the principal said helplessly.


    Too bad. My son insists that I help her out, so I am going to support him unconditionally. Director Fengughed lightly.


    The principal shook his head and sighed. Alright, I wont expel her from school then on your ount. Ill have to insist that she go on a short break though. She will only return to school after the matter dies down.


    Thank you, Principal He. Thank you, Aunty Feng. Luosang hadnt expected things to go so smoothly.


    Feng Geughed and looked at her with a strange gaze.


    When they emerged from the office, Luosang thanked her sincerely again. Thank you so much, Aunty Feng


    Alright, thats enough. Feng Ge turned to look at her and began to examine her before sputtering, Uncanny.


    Luosang was taken aback.


    You look just like your mother.


    Luosang was stunned. You knew my mother?


    We were ssmates. Your eyes are just like your moms. Your mother was of mixed blood. Feng Ge sighed. Your mother was the prettiest girl in school. I only stepped out to help you because I saw your photo online, and I saw that you are the spitting image of your mother.


    Luosang looked down, but she was still happy to meet her mothers ssmate.


    Ma, what are you saying? Chi Shengxu interjected.


    Im calling it like it is! Feng Ge grunted. Xu Zhenxuan is a bastard. Not only did he go after those youngdies, but he also let your mother down.


    Luosang was shocked. Impossible, my dad always loved my mother. He never sought another partner after she passed away.


    Passed away? Feng Ge was the one who was shocked this time. Ive never heard anything about Mo Jin passing away.

 Chapter 378. I May have a Brother or Sister?

    Chapter 378. I May have a Brother or Sister?


    Luosang was puzzled at first, then said, Ms. Feng, I assume you havent gotten in touch with my mother for a long time. She passed away due to sickness when I was two.


    Thats impossible. Your mother is very healthy. How could she have possibly passed away? Feng Ge shook her head and said, Think about it. You and Shengxu are the same age. When you were two, I met your mother once when bringing Shengxu to the hospital for an infusion. She came out from the antenatal care on the first floor. I asked her if she was pregnant, but she didnt answer my question.


    So I might have a brother or sister? Luosang was so excited that her entire body trembled. It was the first time she had heard so much about her mother. Why didnt my father tell me all of this?


    Feng Ge snorted and said, Your father is really not a decent man. I know the reason though. After all, your mother is an orphan.


    Luosang had heard from her father that her mother was an orphan. However, she didnt understand why Feng Ge kept criticizing her father. Did my father do something bad to my mother? she asked.


    I get it. How could your father be shameless enough to tell his daughter about what had happened? said Feng Ge. There are things that you dont know. When your father met your mother, he wasnt a school president. Instead, he was a professor from Changing University. Your mother was his student. Back then, your father was young and promising, graceful, gentle, and elegant. Seriously, many students had a crush on him. Mo Jin fell in love with Xu Zhengxuan at that time.


    All sorts of feelings well up in Feng Ges mind when she recalled the past. Mojin was ruled by nobody and had no fears. She pursued your father, and she seeded. Before graduating from university, she was pregnant with you. Ive thought about itter. I think thats the reason why Xu Zhengxuan transferred to An City not long after that. After all, itd be bad for his reputation if people found out that he was with his student. After graduation, I started my career in An City. I worked in a drama club. Maybe it was because we were in about the same circle, but I heard some news about your father It was said that your father had an affair with a student in his department. They often went to ces together as a couple. I even met that woman once. Herst name is Chu, but I cant remember her first name. She was pretty. At that time, everybody in the circle knew that.


    Luosang was too shocked to say anything.


    She always thought that her father was passionately devoted to her mother, and never knew that these unhappy stories had happened between them.


    Had her father been lying to her the whole time?


    So, I wasnt surprised at all when I heard about Xu Zhengxuans recent scandal, Feng Ge gave a cold smile, saying, Being infatuated with young girls is the deep-rooted bad habit of every man. But I didnt think that hed get that shameless.


    Mom,nguage. Chi Shengxu slightly pushed Feng Ge.


    Feng Ge coughed and continued, In fact, your mother was a girl with few friends. It might have had something to do with her environment in which she grew in. She dared to love and hate, and she was bad-tempered. As a girl, she would actually hit the people who offended her. She often worked in bars and Inte cafes. She never got along with the other girls, plus she was pretty, and many boys pursued her. So, the girls were jealous of her. They excluded her from the group. I wasnt like those girls because once, on my way back home from school, I was harassed by some boys, and your mother helped me. I was grateful to her. I knew that she was a very kind person. In my impression, she was very healthy. She rarely caught a cold. I dont believe that she died from a sickness.


    Ms. Feng, have you ever heard from my mother recently? Luosang asked.


    Feng Ge shook her head and responded with, Later on, I became a star. I traveled all over the world with my troupe to perform. I never saw her again. When I was back, I tried to reach her, but her number disconnected. None of our ssmates had ever seen her again.

 Chapter 379. Moving in with the Chi Family

    Chapter 379. Moving in with the Chi Family


    Luosang was disappointed. Was her father really a sexual predator? Was she suffering from karma in ce of her dad? Maybe I should go down to An Citys prison and talk to my dad.


    Dont go now, Chi Shengxu said hurriedly. Yi Jingxi has his eyes on you. Dont give him an opportunity to create more news.


    Yeah, Aunty Feng agreed. Do you want toe over and stay with us for a while? Its not safe for you to be out there alone. I saw some extremistments online.


    Dont worry, I wont be staying at home, Chi Shengxu joked. My familys vi is huge. You wont find yourself bored there. Its affinity that you bumped into my mom as well, your own mothers old ssmate.


    Its alright, Ill go back to my own apartment. Luosang refused. If the media catches me at your ce, your family will be implicated as well.


    Feng Ge shrugged, and the two of them decided to take her home instead. On the way back, Lu Kang called. Dont go back to the apartment. The bodyguards there told me that there were people sshing paint at your door.


    Luosang was shocked. What about Susu?


    I asked her to move to thepany suites temporarily. Lu Kang sounded agitated. You should move to Tianhu Vi for the time being.


    Its ok. Itll be awkward if Nian Juntings grandma visits. Luosang shook her head. Ill find somece else.


    Miss Xu, you dont have anywhere to go, am I right? How about you move into one of my apartments


    Before Lu Kang could finish, Feng Ge snatched the phone and said, Dont worry about Luosang, Ive got it settled.


    Lu Kang was stunned. Who are you?


    I am Chi Shengxus mother. She hung up immediately after that and instructed the chauffeur to change their course of travel. Lets go home.


    Aunty Luosang was at a loss of words. Aunty Feng was a bossy woman.


    Dont read too much into it. Our address is highly confidential, and we have security on the premises. The reporters wont be able to find you there. Feng Ge raised her brows at her. Since Ive already stepped forward, I will help you til the end. After all, it is rare to meet my ex-ssmates daughter. Im old now. I like to reminisce about the past. Dont worry about Shengxu, either. His father and I have our own connections.


    Yeah. Chi Shengxu wiggled his eyebrows at her. Just stay with us.


    Luosang opened her mouth, but she was at a loss of words. I guess I can learn more about my mother, too, Luosang thought.


    Feng Ges vi was located in the most high-end estate in Xia City. It was in a discreet location and was surrounded by security personnel. Chi Shengxu was hardly at home while Feng Ge stayed at the vi with his father. Uncle Chi was a gentle and kind man.


    After Luosang settled down, Nian Xi called and said angrily, Whats going on Luosang? Where is my brother? Where on earth did he go when you needed him the most?


    Your brother is on a business trip with Xiao Si.


    Nian Xi grunted. What a useless man. He talks big all the time, but he doesnt show up at crucial moments. My mother and grandpa are out in Find. What are the two elderlies doing at a ce so cold? Nothing is more important than my sister-inw.


    Luosang was baffled. Nian Xi didnt seem to know that his grandparents didnt like her very much.

 Chapter 380. You Finally Called Me

    Chapter 380. You Finally Called Me


    Luosang stayed in Chi Family for two days.


    During this time, she hadnt heard anything from Nian Junting. She always watched the news though. ording to the news, the whole scene was intense at the border of India. The Chinese people who lived near the China-India border had moved backward for thirty miles, to avoid being affected by the war. There were no reported casualties at the moment.


    Of course, she had also been paying attention to the entertainment news.


    Chi Family people managed to make Chi Shengxus name disappear from the top hot search list. After that, the rtionship between her and Nian Junting was wildly reported.


    Even some fake negative news about Nian Junting appeared online.


    Shengtings stock had been keeping falling for days. Within this short period, more than a billion dor that belonged to Shengting had disappeared from the market.


    Luosang called Lu Kang for a few times, but every time, thetter could only say a few words to her before ending the call, as he was too busy.


    After watching the news, Feng Ge shook her headband said, This time, Murong Family has really gotten their grandson into big trouble.


    Ms. Feng, why have Murong Family still not stand up for Shengting? Watching all the back things happen, Luosang was really anxious.


    Havent you heard people say that the people of high positions are liable to be attacked? Said Feng Ge ndly, Zhong Zhou Group has been thriving for tens of years. Lots of people envy them since long ago. Nian Junting is the future owner of Zhong Zhou, added with the fact that he founded Shengting at a very young age. He has manypetitors. I guess, Murong Family people just wanted to watch a show at first. A little bad news about their grandson would be harmless, as they could easily deal with those. For them, whats important was to destroy you. But unexpectedly, Yi Jingxi tried to bring him down. The market of capitalists is filled with wolves. Even if Murong Family people show up now, they wont be able to stop this. Murong Ze is getting more and more muddle-headed. He actually took his daughter to see the aurora. I think theyre rushing back now, as they should have received the news.


    Luosang never thought that her rtionship with Nian Junting would cause such a big trouble.


    I think Yi Jingxi is out of his mind, Chi Shengxu joined the conversation, After Murong Family solved the problem, hell be their first revenge target.


    Yeah, Feng Ge gave Luosang a meaningful nce, saying, How much he hates you? To destroy you, he might even lose Yi Group when facing Murong Familys revengeter.


    I dont know, Luosang smiled bitterly, Is there a way to help Shengting now?


    Yeah. Nian Junting is involved in this because hes your boyfriend. Thingsll change as long as they released a statement to tell everyone that Nian Junting has nothing to do with you, Feng Ge said, But Shenting have made no move so far. It seems that they dont dare to make the decisions without their CEOs permission.


    But if this situation continues, more and more malicious short-selling will happen, right? Chi Shengxu frowned and said.


    I guess so. We dont know much about the market, Feng Ge replied.


    At night, Luosang tossed and turned, couldnt sleep.


    Tomorrow is a new day. If Shengtings stock keeps falling, I dont know how much more money will disappear from the market. I cant let Nian Juntings career be ruined because of me, she said to herself.


    She lifted the nket and sat up. Found Yi Jiangxis number, she called him.


    You finally called me, Yi Jingxis dry voice was heard.


    What on earth do you want? Luosang was angry, Because of you, I cant go to school, and cant go back home. What else do you want? Do you want me to die?


    Break up with Nian Junting,e back with me, said Yi Jingxi coldly.


    Do you think thats possible? Luosang sneered, Yi Jingxi, its not toote for you to stop now. I think I know what kind of agreement youve made with Yu Wen before. But now, youve broken it. Neither Murong Family nor Nian Junting will let you get away with it.

 Chapter 381. I Declare that I Am No Longer Together with Mr. Nian Junting

    Chapter 381. I Dere that I Am No Longer Together with Mr. Nian Junting


    Its better than watching you stay together with Nian Junting, he said suddenly.


    Luosang was stunned. She thought she had misheard him. Yi Jing, you are the sole reason why we are like this today.


    Do you think that I wanted things to turn out this way? Falling in love with you wasnt part of the n. I just wanted to get revenge on your dad. Luosang, I dont want you to leave me. This is my way of keeping you by my side, Yi Jingxi said almost cruelly. I was wrong, Luosang. I shouldnt have used Zhong Yi to make you jealous. I know I cant undo what I did.


    Dont be ridiculous. I thought you were in love with Zhong Yi. Luosang was in disbelief.


    I never loved her. How could I love a woman like her? Yi Jingxi didnt bother to hide his disgust.


    I dont understand you. I dont understand you at all. You are sick in the head, Luosang said angrily. You pushed me to the edge just to tell me that you love me. Id rather not have anything to do with you if it means this sort of treatment. Luosang shuddered at the thought. She hung up the phone immediately.


    In the dark room, Yi Jingxi looked at his phone screen in a daze. The call hadsted for two minutes and 20 seconds. Everything she said was like a blow to his heart. He had finally admitted his love for her. She reacted to his affection as if it were something despicable. Why wasnt she going back to him?


    He downed the ss of wine in one gulp. Zeng Zhun walked into the room, snatched his ss, and threw it to the side. Kang Ying called. She said that you cheated her. Didnt you agree that you would only implicate Luosang in this matter? How can you drag Shengting into the picture as well? Yu Wen is extremely displeased with you.


    Tell them I didnt mean to. Yi Jingxi stood up and yelled, Who knows where on earth Nian Junting is? I expected him to have a contingency n by now, but hes nowhere to be seen. Its not my fault that his shareholders and board members are in a state of panic right now.


    Whose fault is it, then? You were the one who antagonized Shengting in the first ce.


    Zeng Zhun was frustrated, too. Shengting is in trouble now. Do you think the Yi Group will be able to stay clear of this mess? Do you think the Murong family will let you off so easily after you made use of them? Youre solely thinking about yourself right now, but what about the thousands of employees in thepany? What about our investors and our shareholders? Go online and look at how nasty thements are. Even I am cringing when I read them. I cant imagine what Luosang is going through. Go on, go drink yourself to death. I bet Luosang will be relieved when she hears that youre dead. He left after saying his piece, leaving Yi Jingxi in a stupor by the bar.


    Luosang tossed and turned in her bed that night. She opened her social media app in the morning and posted, I dere that I am no longer together with Mr. Nian Junting. We have broken up and gone our separate ways. I wish him all the best. He was a good man, and I lied to him.


    The moment her post went online, it was reposted by reporters and went onto the trending section very quickly.


    Lu Kang called her shortly after. Miss Xu, how can you post a deration like that? Why are you carrying all the responsibility by yourself? Mr. Nian will go mad if he sees you like this.


    Brother Lu, if yourpany wont clearly cut ties with me, I will have to do it. Luosangforted him, saying, Who says we cant get back together after breaking up?


    Who doesnt know about Mr. Nians horrendous temper? He will surely give us all a harsh scolding when he finds out about this. Lu Kang grimaced.

 Chapter 382. Im the Women who Broke up with You

    Chapter 382. I''m the Women who Broke up with You


    Lets wait till hes back. This is just an expedient, hell understand. After releasing the deration, Luosang felt relieved.


    What about you? Lu Kang started feeling sorry about her.


    Ill stay indoors for now. The vacation ising anyway. Ill just wait for things to cool off, she said.


    Lu Kang sighed. He hoped that he can get in touch with Nian Junting soon. However, he was also afraid that Nian Junting might want to beat him to death after finding out that Luosang had broken up with himself.


    At the foot of Himyas.


    Waves of gunfire could be heard from the border which was quite a distance away.


    Nian Junting kept walking around with his phone. Xiaosi was wearing a thick military coat, sitting on a pile of rock, looking at him.


    Theyve told us that theres no signal here. Why are you still walking around with your phone every day? Xiao Si asked.


    You single people know nothing, Nian Junting coldly nced at him and said, Luosang almost cried when I left. She choked back her tears. She must be missing me so much, as she cant get in touch with me these days.


    Keep bragging, Xiao Si chuckled, Perhaps shes enjoying her free time without you.


    Thats impossible, Nian Junting responded without hesitation. However his temples started throbbing.


    Yi Jingxi had been eyeing Luosang covetously and Chi Shengxu wanted to walk her back everyday. Also, all kinds of male students would ask her questions about homework. Therefore Nian Junting honestly couldnt stop worrying.


    Alright lets go to the county tomorrow. I heard from thepanymander that themunication equipment over there has been partially fixed, Xiao Si just couldnt bear watching Nian Juntings nervous face. Ji Chuan is out of danger now, and Uncle Feng will be with him.


    Alright, Nian Junting impatiently gazed afar. He wished that he can fly to the county right now.


    Next morning, at six oclock, Xiao Si was dragged out of his bed by Nian Junting to drive to the country.


    They made a circle in the country and then finally found a spot with rtively better signal.


    Nian Junting saw a pile of missed called, twenty or thirty of them were from Luosang.


    Nian Junting gave a big smile, showed his phone to Xiao Si and said, Look, the storage of my phone is nearly filled up by my girlfriends missed calls. I got at least hundreds of missed calls from her. I think she called me every hour.


    Xiao Si spent a while looking at his own phone. Abruptly, he showed his phone to Nian Junting, saying, thetest news, Luosang has made a public statement to break up with you. She said that youll be apart and have happy life respectively. So artistic.


    Nian Junting grabbed his phone, read the news clearly. Then, he popped his eyes with disbelief, and his breath became quick and deep. A whileter, he said, Who is this? She has the same name as my woman.


    Xiao Si just didnt know what to say.


    Ill call Luosang and ask her. I dont believe this, Nian Junting called Luosang immediately, but she didnt answer the call.


    He hung up the phone and called again.


    After four or five calls, he finally heard Luosangs dry voice.


    Hello


    Xu Luosang, you didnt answer my calls, Nian Juntings angry voice went into Luosangs ears through the phone, What are you doing? Theres another woman named Xu Luosang on the inte, iming that shes broken up with me. Thats ridiculous.


    Junting, Nian Junting, Luosang gave a start at first, then burst inughter, Please, I was sleeping. Its seven oclock in the morning. And, yes, that woman who imed to break up with you on the inte is me.

 Chapter 383. You Are Way More Important Than Our Stocks

    Chapter 383. You Are Way More Important Than Our Stocks


    Why did you break up with me? Nian Junting mumbled under his breath before yelling angrily, Was it because I didnt spend Christmas with you? Arent you being a little unreasonable? My friend nearly died. This isnt a small matter.


    Xiao Si watched as his face turned green, and his voice became breathless. Rx, take it easy. Were in the hignds here. Dont get too agitated. I wont be able to perform CPR if you go into shock here.


    Luosang could hear Xiao Si over the phone, and she quickly added, Its not because of that


    What is it, then? Did you get back together with Yi Jingxi? Nian Juntings angry voice rattled in the car. Or is it Chi Shengxu? You cant take the loneliness a few days without me?


    Can you just hear me out? Im doing it for Shengting. Luosang had originally nned to joke around with him, but she didnt have the heart to anymore seeing how agitated he was. Yi Jingxi revealed my identity on Christmas day, and everyone now knows about my rtionship with you, too. Shengtings stocks have been affected because of this, and I had to dere that I wasnt with you anymore.


    You shouldnt have done that, Nian Junting said grudgingly.


    Are you even listening to me? I said that yourpanys stocks are falling, Luosang said, frustrated.


    So what? Its normal for our stocks to fluctuate. You are way more important than our stocks, Nian Junting said grumpily.


    Luosang was speechless. Not by a little you just lost billions of US dors.


    I have so much money, that is peanuts to me. Nian Junting continued to reprimand her, How can you break up with me over such a small sum of money? Arent you asking for a scolding?


    Billions of dors are worth peanuts to him? Oh god, Luosang thought. Everyone else was panicking, whereas he was taking it so chill. Luosang was touched by what he said, however, about how she was worth much more than billions of dors.


    Alright. Luosang sighed. Hows your friend? Is he ok?


    Hes no longer in critical condition. Theres been heavy snow here thest couple of days. We were nning to take him out the moment the snow stops, but I didnt expect thepany to be in trouble. Im driving backter, Nian Junting said. Were you having a hard time by yourself?


    Luosang felt herself choke up. She hadnt shed a single tear the whole time since Christmas day. No matter how lost and helpless she felt, she willed herself to stay strong. At this moment, she couldnt help but let down her strong faade. Yourpany situation has been stabilized after I posted about breaking up with you. You dont need to rush back. Stay safe, since its snowing heavily over there, Luosang gently reminded him.


    Stop talking about breaking up with me. I hate those words. Dont worry about me, just take care of yourself and wait for my return. Nian Junting hung up and called Lu Kang.


    Lu Kang exined the entire situation in detail to him. Nian Juntings expression froze after listening to what he said. He hadnt expected Yi Jingxi to be so shameless.


    How had she managed all this time on her own?


    You are my personal assistant that I groomed myself. How could you allow her to be bullied like that? What did I say before I left? I told you to take care of her, didnt I? Dont let any harme to her. Now, she cant even leave her house without being harassed.

 Chapter 384. Shell Hold Him, Helplessly Kiss His Lips

    Chapter 384. She''ll Hold Him, Helplessly Kiss His Lips


    Sorry, Mr. Nian, its my fault.


    Lu Kang kept apologizing. Thankfully, he didnt tell Nian Junting that Luosang was living in Chi Shengxus ce, or Nian Juntings angry yell might blow his phone up.


    Nian Junting calmed down, and then said, Never mind. I didnt think that my grandparents would actually work with Yi Jingxi. The two old people are getting muddled. I wonder why didnt Zhong Zhou Group go bankrupt in their hands. Zhong Zhou is lucky. Wait for me. I wont let this end so easily. Ill make them pay, no matter who they are.


    He angrily ended the call.


    Xiao Si had learned the whole story from a manager in thepany. It has only been a few days, yet things changed drastically back there. Over a billion, oh my, its gone. My heart is aching he said.


    Its nothing but a billion. Well earn it back, Nian Junting turned back and said to him.


    Xiao Si rolled his eyes, saying, Thats easy for you to say.


    Of course, because I have a brain, Nian Junting pointed at his own head.


    Like I dont have one, Xiao Si thought.


    Alright, Ill go back to the vige with you to say goodbye to Uncle Feng. You stay here. In a few days, you and Uncle Feng will bring Ji Chuan back to Xia City for further treatment, Nian Junting patted Xiao Sis arm, then quickly started the car.


    Nian Junting spent two days driving to Lhasa, then got on a flight to Xia City.


    Lu Kang picked him up at the airport. He barely recognized his boss.


    It had only been about ten days, but Nian Junting had lost some weight, his skin was tanned, eyes were bloodshot, face wore a stubble of untrimmed beard. It seemed that he hadnt shaved for days.


    What made Lu Kang Jealous was that even like this, Nian Junting still looked handsome. His face was less delicate than before, yet seemed perfectly manly and mature. So much so that quite some people in the airport stopped to look at him.


    Mr. Nian, the car is ready on the outside, Seeing him, Lu Kang felt like seeing the solution of all problems.


    Em, Nian Junting responded shortly, kept walking forward, looked travel-worn.


    After getting into the car, Nian Junting gave his order, Go to Luosangs apartment. I want to see Luosang first. I cant imagine how frightened she is these days, without me.


    Eh In fact, Miss. Xu is doing alright Maybe you should go to thepany first, said Lu Kang.


    If he now told Nian Junting that Luosang was living in Chi Shengxus ce, his boss might murder him right on the spot.


    How can she possibly be doing alright? She must be pretending to be strong, as I wasnt here. How can you not understand that? No wonder you cant get a girlfriend, Nian Junting shook his head, gave Lu Kang a sour nce, saying, Drive. I cant wait to see her.


    He could imagine that when seeing him, the fragile Luosang would certainly hold him and helplessly kiss his lips, and her eyes would turn red.


    His face was covered in stubbles, so Luosang might find him prickly when kissing him.


    He touched his face, then asked Lu Kang, Do we have a shaver in the car? I lost mine on the road.


    Lu Kang shook his head, responding, We dont have a shaver in the car, Mr. Nian. You look handsome now. You can shave your face back in thepany.


    I know Im handsome. Im just dont want Luosang toin about my prickly faceter, when she kisses me, said Nian Junting coldly, Its a long separation, do you understand?


    Lu Kang really wanted to cry, Mr. Nian, I dont think its time for you to think about kissing. These ten days, we have really been anxious for you to return.

 Chapter 385. Luo Has Been Waiting for Me, Too

    Chapter 385. Luo Has Been Waiting for Me, Too


    Nian Junting knitted his brows and said in a deep voice, "Luo has been waiting for me, too."


    Lu Kang nearly copsed. You really can''t act like this, heined silently. Mr. Nian, you really don''t care about thepany anymore since you fell in love.


    "Besides," Nian Junting continued, "I only left for ten days. We''re arge publicpany, but those people I hired can''t deal with any problems. Instead, they have to wait for me toe back. What have I been paying those senior managers for, a bunch of useless things? Let them wait. Just tell them to wait."


    Lu Kang curved his lips downward. It''s yourpany, anyway, and the money that might be lost is yours, too.


    "Let''s go to the apartment," Nian Junting repeated impatiently.


    "Mr. Nian In fact, Miss Xu isn''t living at the apartment." Lu Kang clenched his teeth and stuttered, "Some people found out her address and poured paint on her door, so she''s living with her friend for now."


    "Let''s go to her friend''s, then." After saying that, Nian Junting started getting a strange feeling. "That''s not right. Except for Yan Su, what other friends does she have? Don''t tell me that you''re talking about a male friend of hers."


    Thest few words of his sentence sounded ice cold. Lu Kang automatically responded, "How could it be possible? It''s a female friend. I heard that their mothers used to be ssmates."


    Nian Junting nodded. "Her mother divorced her father and remarried another man, but still, she needs to pay some attention to her daughter. She can''t just leave her alone. Alright, let''s head to the ce of her mother''s friend."


    "But I don''t know where that vi is located," said Lu Kang carefully. "I''ll call Miss Xu and tell her to go back to Tianhu Vi, so she won''t need to travel around."


    "Don''t bother. I''ll go and pick her up myself." As Lu Kang didn''t make the phone call immediately, Nian Junting made the call himself.


    The call was answered. He immediately said to Luosang, "I just got off the ne. I heard from Lu Kang that you''re living with your mother''s ssmate recently. I''lle over to pick you up and also pay a visit to that nicedy, to thank her for taking care of you during these past few days."


    At first, Luosang was surprised to learn that he was back, but after hearing what he said next, she couldn''t stay calm. That jealous man would be so pissed off if he found out that she was actually living at Chi Shengxu''s ce.


    "You go back to Tianhu Vi, and I''ll be there as soon as possible. I''ll make you some good food. You must have been really tired in that remote ce."


    Hearing her words, Nian Junting felt even more guilty. She had suffered so much unfairness recently, but still she was thinking about making good food for him. Unlike her, he let her be bullied by the others and didn''t show up until now.


    "I''m fine. I don''t want you to cook for me. I just want you to get some good rest," Nian Junting said to her. "Tell me the address. I''ming right now."


    "You really don''t need to. I''ming to you."


    Finally, Nian Junting felt that something wasn''t right. Lu Kang acted weirdly, so did Luosang. "It seems that you really don''t want me to be there. Do you not want me to know where you''re living? Are you living in some man''s ce instead of your mother''s ssmate''s ce?"


    "That''s not true."


    "Give me the address, then."


    Luosang didn''t want him to have more crazy guesses, so she had no choice but to give him the address. Chi Shengxu wasn''t there, anyway, so she figured that she only needed to inform her godmother about hising. Yes, she had already be Feng Ge''s goddaughter.


    Feng Ge told Luosang stories about things that had happened back when she and Luosang''s mother were in school, and Luosang liked those stories.


    Nian Junting''s car drove straight to the vi district that Luosang had talked about. Before long, the car was parked in front of a three-story vi. Nian Junting spent a while observing it, then got out of the car, took out two boxes of gifts from the trunk, and rang the doorbell.


    Luosang answered the door.

 Chapter 386. Youve Grown Thinner and Wearier

    Chapter 386. You''ve Grown Thinner and Wearier


    She was wearing a new ginger turtleneck sweater paired with white pants. Her hair was coiled in a simple bun, and her skin was as fair as before. However, he noticed a rim of shadow beneath her eyes. She must not have slept well the past couple of nights.


    The two of them stood opposite each other, and Nian Junting looked deeply into her eyes. His heart was pumping fast. Luoluo, why does it feel like ten years when in fact, it has only been ten days without you? Youve grown thinner and wearier, he said in a low voice.


    Luosang immediately felt tears well up in her eyes. Damn, this guys sweet talk is on another level, she thought.


    Im ok, you are the one that looks like youve been through a lot Before she could finish, he pulled her into his arms and pressed her cheeks against his chest. She breathed in his scent and feltforted by his familiarity. Suddenly, she noticed a hint of a strange smell. She raised her head only to have him bury her face back into his chest.


    Dont move, let me enjoy this more.


    No, how many days has it been since youst showered? Luosang asked.


    Nian Junting froze as if he suddenly remembered something and let go of her promptly. He replied awkwardly, You know, its not convenient to shower over there. I only showered once when I arrived there. Ive had to be on the road ever since, especially since I was rushing back. I drove for two days straight, and I havent showered for about five to six days.


    Luosang didnt mind that he hadnt showered for a week or so, but the ce he went was too dusty and dirty. You drove for two days straight? Are you mad? Dont you remember what I told you? Luosang looked up to see blood in his eyes. Her heart ached. You didnt have to rush back. I told you to be safe.


    Its alright, I just needed coffee to replenish my energy on the road. I wanted to see you as soon as possible. Nian Juntings eyes were filled with guilt. I didnt protect you well.


    Luosang shook her head. It was bound to happen. It just happened sooner than I expected, thats all. This time


    Luosang, this must be Mr. Nian Junting. Why is he standing at the door? Feng Ge said.


    Luosang freed herself from his embrace, embarrassed. She turned to introduce the two. Junting, this is my new godma, and godma, this is my boyfriend.


    Oh, Mr. Nian looks handsome and capable, no wonder Feng Ge couldnt help butpliment him.


    After getting along with Luosang over thest couple of days, Feng Ge found that she was a good girl, both pretty and smart. It was a pity that she was already attached. Otherwise, she would have been a good match for her son.


    Nian Junting frowned. How had this girl ended up with a godma in a matter of a few days? Obviously, he had to show his gratitude despite being skeptical. She did take care of his woman while he was away, after all.


    He stepped forward and said, Hello, godma, thank you for taking care of Luosang. This is just a token of my appreciation.


    Hey you dont have to call me that. Feng Ge received the basket. Nian Junting left a good impression on her, but he was a little thick for addressing her that way since he wasnt even married to Luosang yet.


    No, I should, since marrying Luosang is only a matter of time, Nian Junting said.


    Alright, Ill go get my luggage since youre here already. Ill leave with you. Lets not forget about thepany matters, Luosang said hastily.


    Alright, Nian Junting thought about what she said and nodded. He had to rush back to deal withpany matters, so he reluctantly said goodbye and decided that he woulde back to visit another day.

 Chapter 387. You Cant Protect Her, yet You Dont want Others to Protect Her

    Chapter 387. You Can''t Protect Her, yet You Don''t want Others to Protect Her


    Luosang went into the vi to pack her things.


    She only brought a few clothes here.


    Feng Ge and Nian Junting were chatting by the door.


    Aunty, you ignored the public opinion, but kindly stood up for Luo. I guess you and her mother are good friends, right? I wonder where her mother is now. Please tell her that we want her to attend our wedding. And, Luo is her daughter after all, she needs to at least care a little about her. Shes Luosangs mother, so she needs to fulfill the mothers responsibility.


    Feng Ge responded confusedly, I dont know where her mother is. But, didnt Luosang say that her mother passed away?


    Didnt she say that her mother married another man and has a son? Nian Junting asked.


    Eh-hem. Feng Ge hurriedly exined, The story about her mother is a littleplicated. Its a long story. Luosang thought that her mother passed away, but I believe shes still alive.


    Nian Junting wondered if they were talking about Luosangs mother or someone in a TV series.


    Lets go, Luosang walked over with her bag. Seeing Nian Juntings tightened face, she hurriedly held his hand with concern and asked, What are you talking about?


    Your mother, Nian Junting nced at her expressionlessly.


    How many things she had been hiding from him? He decided to talk to her about thatter.


    Luosang felt a little guilty. She remembered that she had lied to him about her mother before.


    Get into the car, Nian Junting opened the car door.


    As Luosang prepared to get in, a white sports car abruptly drove over from a corner nearby.


    Luosangs expression changed slightly. She wanted to get into the car as soon as possible, but before that, a window of the sports car was dropped. Chi Shengxu stuck his head out of the window and said to her, Sangsang, are you leaving already?


    Luosang immediately nced at Nian Junting. His face was often dark when it was beardless, now, his unshaven face looked angry and sullen, like the face of a male lion in an African grasnd, which was preparing to eat a human being alive.


    He turned his eyes to Chi Shengxu with a frosty look.


    Luosang covered her forehead with a hand. She had particrly mentioned to Feng Ge about this, but unexpectedly, Chi Shengxu who hadnte back for two days suddenly showed up.


    Chi Shengxu sensed nothing wrong. He got out of the car, saying, Mom, why didnt you invite Sangsang to stay longer?


    Mom? The expressionless Nian Junting nced at Feng Ge, then at Luosang.


    Immediately he figured out everything.


    Luosang had actually be the goddaughter of Chi Shengxus mother.


    Why? She was getting closer and closer with Chi Shengxu.


    She knew that he disliked Chi Shengxu the most, but she just wouldnt listen to him.


    A raging fire began burning in Nian Juntings eyes.


    Yeah, hes my mother. Dont you know that, Mr. Nian? The handsome Chi Shengxu turned to Nian Junting provokingly.


    Lets go, Nian Junting pushed Luosang into the car.


    Watching that, Chi Shengxu was very unhappy. He grabbed Nian Juntings arm and said, Stop being mad at her. She lived in my home, so what? Shes been bullied by the others these days. She cant go back to her own home, and I helped her. I protected her when people threw bottles at her and got her off the stage. My mother helped her when she was going to be suspended from the school. Where were you? What did your family do? You cant protect her, yet you dont want the others to protect her.


    Stop Luosangs scalp was even numb. She worried that Nian Junting might attack Chi Shengxu.


    After all, what happened in the library remained fresh in her memories.


    Nian Junting stared at Chi Shengxu, with his temples throbbing.

 Chapter 388. Dont Go to Chi Shengxu

    Chapter 388. Don''t Go to Chi Shengxu


    Instead of stopping, Chi Shengxu continued, You can vent your anger on me if youre upset, but dont vent it on Luosang. If you have so much time to throw a tantrum, you might as well use your energy to deal with the people that put her in this position in the first ce. Her news has gone viral on the inte and mainstream media. She cant even leave the house without being harassed. Shes been cooped up at home this whole time.


    I dont need you to tell me that. Nian Junting shot him a re and climbed into the car. No matter what, he had helped his girlfriend this time around. If he decided to pick a fight with Chi Shengxu then, Luosang might think badly of him. It wasnt time to pick fights like this. He needed to take care of those people who bullied his girlfriend. Drive.


    Luosang breathed a sigh of relief and shot Chi Shengxu a look. He gave her a slight smile. Nian Junting clenched his fists tightly when he saw them smiling at each other.


    Drop by whenever youre free, Luosang! Feng Ge waved with a smiling face. You can treat our ce as your own!


    Thank you, godma. Luosang waved back to her.


    The car pulled away slowly. Luosang looked behind her with a tinge of sadness.


    Stop looking, that isnt your home. Your home is at Tianhu Vi. Nian Junting turned her cheek towards him. Will you miss that ce that much? Because of who?


    Godma treats me really well. Luosang said seriously, You dont know how bad it was for Chi Shengxu when he was implicated in my matters. He lost numerousmercial deals and many more fans. There were negativements about him all over the inte, but his family didnt me me at all. Godma praised him for doing the right thing and took me in as her goddaughter. She bought me shoes and clothes, and showed me the warmth of their family


    Enough, stop talking. Nian Junting couldnt bear to listen anymore. You feel like home when you live with Chi Shengxus parents? What about my family then, what are they to you?


    Luosang looked at him silently.


    Nian Junting looked down. He said sadly, You just wanted to say that my mother didnt buy you any shoes or clothes, and remind me of the fact that my grandparents were trying to put you down further.


    Luosang was silent. I wasnt thinking about that.


    My family isnt good to you, I know. Nian Junting was frustrated. Thest time they told me that they were going to ept you, it was all a lie. I cant believe I took their word for it. I promise that Ill make it up to you with my love. Ill give you whatever you want. Dont go to Chi Shengxu.


    Luosang was both touched and bewildered. When have I ever said anything about leaving you?


    Just in case, Im just telling you first. Nian Junting said with disappointment, I never get to be your knight in shining armor.


    Luosang thought for a second before holding his hand. She said, You did. You saved me when I was at Gu Feng that time. I could have been seriously hurt. And that time at the g when I was being teased by that pervert, you were so heroic


    Im talking about those impactful moments when your life is really on the line Nian Junting continued, Yi Jingxi saved you twice, Chi Shengxu rescued you this time.


    I think you should stop hoping for such things to happen to me. Luosang rolled her eyes. Its ridiculous how Im the oneforting you right now when I am the biggest victim in this whole situation. If youre still going to be bothered about this, Im not going back with you.

 Chapter 389. No Wonder Her Son was Attracted by Her

    Chapter 389. No Wonder Her Son was Attracted by Her


    Nian Junting stayed silent.


    This time, his families did cause some difficulties.


    He worried that she might think less of him now, and that he might be no better than Chi Shengxu in her eyes.


    He decided to make vigorous efforts to turn the situation, and to make it up for her.


    Didnt you say that your mother married another man and has a son? Why did I hear that your mother passed away just now? Chi Shengxus appearance nearly made him forget the question that he had at first.


    How many more secrets are you keeping from me? He asked.


    I lied to you, she said, My father told me that my mother passed away. But this time, I met my Godmother. She and my mother used to be ssmates. She said that


    So she was your mothers ssmate, said Nian Junting abruptly, I thought you made that up because you dont want me to know that youre living in Chi Shengxus home.


    Why would I lie to you about that? Luosang was a little speechless.


    Your mother and Chi Shengxus mother were ssmates, so you two kinda grew up together. They didnt arrange a marriage for you two before you were born, did they? Nian Junting asked with doubts.


    Where did you get that idea from? She responded.


    Most of the TV series that I watched with my grandma had that kind of plot, Nian Junting snorted coldly.


    No, we werent engaged, Luosang honestly didnt know how to continue this conversation, Can you please let me finish?


    Alright.


    Luosang told Nian Junting what she had heard from Feng Ge in full details. Do you think my father really cheated on my mother back then? And, is my mother still alive? Do I have a younger brother or sister?


    Hearing that, Nian Junting fell into silence, and his eyes became misty.


    Why didnt you see anything? Luosang seemed to feel how he felt.


    Maybe He did. There are no many good men nowadays. I am one, Nian Junting said coldly.


    As a man, Nian Junting said that himself. Hearing him, Luosang was a little disappointed. In a couple of days, I want to go to An City for a visit, she said, I want to ask my father face to face.


    Ill go with you, Nian Junting immediately added. He couldnt let her be away from him again.


    Back to Tianhu Vi, Sister Lan trotted over to carry Luosangs luggage. Sangsang, seeing that youre okay, I can finally stop worry. Recently, I read all those stuff online every day. I was really frightened. Thankfully, Lu Kang told me that you were hiding in somewhere safe. Now, Young Master is back, so everything will be just fine.


    Luosang was touched. Sister Lan, dont you mind? My father she said.


    I think youre a good person, and thats enough. What does that have to do with your father? I feel that youve really suffered too much, Sister Lan couldnt stop sighing.


    Nian Junting nced at Sister Lan with praise, saying, Take good care of her, let her feel more warmth of home.


    Luosang couldnt think of a word to say.


    She did nothing but blurted out apliment toward Feng Ge and her family.


    Mr. Nian, you should leave for thepany, Lu Kang couldnt help but remind him, Theyve called for at least ten times. Our stock is falling again since this morning.


    Alright, Nian Junting put his arm around Luosangs waist, abruptly lowered his head.


    As Luosang expected a kiss from him, he stopped at about an inch from her, raised his head and said, Ill kiss you next time. I havent brushed my teeth for two days.


    After saying that, he walked toward the car in big steps.


    He didnte back for lunch. Luosang called Lu Kang and heard from thetter that Nian Junting was still having a meeting. The meetingsted for five hours.


    Half-pass five, Nian Xi came to the vi.


    Seeing Luosang, she firstined about her brother, then said, Weve caught those people who tried to hunt you through the inte. The police have published their information online, theyll be punished publicly. And those people who threw bottles at you, insulted you, and the ones who yed the video at the Christmas show, theyre all caught. The police interrogated them, but they didnt admit their crimes. Weve checked their bank ounts, found no unexined ie. They all have criminal records.


    In that case, I guess Yi Jingxi has something on them, and he threatened them. He wont leave any clear evidence like that, Luosang wasnt surprised at all.


    Thats what I thought, Nian Xi clenched her teeth and said, Cant evil people be punished?


    He nevermitted a serious crime, but only small things, Luosang shook her head.


    Dont worry. This time, my brotherspany has got into such a big trouble. Both my Mom and my grandpa are pissed off. Theyve talked to the relevant people. So, from now on, any product of the Yi Group wont be able to pass the censorship, so their money cant reflow, and theyll slowly fall into a hopeless situation. And, the artists who work for them will also be suppressed as hard as possible, said Nian Xi resentfully.


    Luosang didnt say anything.


    Murong Family people were so angry because Yi Jingxi fooled them, not because of her.


    This time, Yi Jingxi was way too selfish and insane.


    Except for Zhong Yi, make artists in Yi Group were quite good.


    Anyway, you should be rxed. Everything will be alright, Nian Xi patted Luosangs hand, paused for a minute and said, Sangsang, do you know where had my brother been these days? Even Xiao Sis number was disconnected like his. The strange thing is Ji Chuan hasnt contacted me for quite long as well.


    He said that he had to deal with an important project abroad. I dont know much about it, Luosang smiled, Did you say that your fiance is a soldier, and that he cant always keep touch with you? Isnt that normal?


    Im just a little worried


    Hell be fine, Luosang seriously looked at Nian Xi in the eyes and said, Isnt heing back at New Year? I think youll see each other soon enough.


    Nian Xi left after dinner. Not long after that, Luosang heard the noise of a car from the outside. She thought that Nian Junting was bak, so she quickly put on a coat and went outside. But unexpectedly, she saw Murong Cheng, Murong Ze and Yu Wen.


    Sister Lan panicked, saying, Oh my, why they showed up together? Are they here for you?


    Luosang smiled. Sister Lan was even more flurried than she was.


    Calm down, Ill call Young Master, Steward Wu sneakily went back to his room.


    Luosang was touched. Both Sister Lan and Steward Wu treated her as a family member.


    She had been through worse, so she had no fear now.


    Withposure, she looked at the three people walking to her. Murong Cheng saw her standing under themplight from a distance away. Her long hair hung down loose over her shoulders, lips as pink as peach blossoms, eyes sparkled like stars. She was wearing simple clothes, yet was beautiful enough to impress people. Her appearance and manner were no worse than the rich family girls, or even the female stars that Murong Cheng had seen in all these years.


    Murong Cheng wouldnt be able to imagine that Luosang was the carer who worked here a year ago, if she didnt meet her before.


    No wonder her son was attracted by her.


    Murong Ze saw Luosang as well. She looks like a little vixen indeed. He murmured.


    Hearing that, Yu Wen elbowed him hard.

 Chapter 390. Unless You Give Her All of the Zhong Zhou Group

    Chapter 390. Unless You Give Her All of the Zhong Zhou Group


    Auntie, long time no see. Luo Sang wore a polite smile as she stepped forward to greet them. Grandpa, Grandma, its nice to meet you.


    Luo Sang, Ive always thought that you dressed well, but I never imagined that youd be this pretty. Murong Cheng chuckled.


    Luo Sang smiled abashedly. Junting went to a meeting at work, and he hasnt been back since. As she mentioned this, Murong Cheng and Murong Ze appeared ufortable.


    Murong Cheng nodded. Something cropped up at the Shengting Corporation today, and it may take a while to resolve the matter. Have you had dinner?


    Yes, I have.


    Murong Ze coughed lightly.


    Dont stand at the door,e in.


    After they were seated in the living room, Sister Lan brought them tea. When she got to Luo Sang, she whispered softly, Dont worry, master is on his way back. Hell be here in ten minutes.


    Luo Sang was actually not worried at all. In fact, the people around her should have been the ones worrying. Nian Junting had an unusual temperament. He was often unpredictable, especially with his temper. If things went wrong, he might even end up having a falling out with them.


    Luo Sang started to make small talk. Auntie, I heard that you recently went to Find to see the Northern Lights. How was it? Ive heard that seeing the Northern Lights is a must in this lifetime.


    The phrase Northern Lights seemed to make the three of them freeze. Murong Cheng was apologetic. Sorry, Luo Sang, we didnt know that this would happen. She stopped before looking at Yu Wen and Murong Ze. Mom, Dad, since were here, why dont you apologize? If not for Kang Ying and Ye Chuens influence, you might not have cooperated with Yi Jingxi. If not for your idleness, the Shengting Corporation might not have lost almost $2,000,000,000, causing Luo Sang to be embroiled in public opinion.


    Yu Wen could not help but say, Her embroilment in public opinion is no fault of ours. It was her father and her ex-fiancs fault.


    Mom Murong Cheng red at her. Do you still want to resolve the matter peacefully?


    Yu Wen stood up. You should not spoil Junting. Look at how things are. Junting found a girlfriend, and because of her, the Shengting Corporation lost so much money. If they get married in the future, itll be the talk of the town. Xu Luosang, if you truly love Nian Junting, then you should leave him. Ill admit that Nian Junting will hate me for this, but Im doing this for his own good.


    Luo Sang remained silent.


    Yu Wen continued, Your ex-fiance is like a madman. Youve seen how he acted this time. Hes giving it his all. Can you imagine what hell do next time? Hell ruin the Shengting Corporation and Nian Juntings reputations eventually.


    Murong Cheng and Murong Ze were startled. Luo Sang was frozen, too. She never realized before that Yi Jingxi had said that he loved her, and his actions were an effort to keep her by his side. However, it was evident that his love had be extreme, and Yu Wens words did make sense.


    Tell me, how much money would you ept to leave Nian Juntings side? Yu Wen said bluntly.


    Unless you give her all of the Zhong Zhou Group, shell not consider leaving, Nian Juntings loud, sarcastic voice bellowed across the room from the door.


    Everyone in the living room was startled, and Murong Cheng asked, Why didnt we hear the sound of your car outside? How are things at thepany?

 Chapter 391. How Youve been bullying My Woman?

    Chapter 391. How You''ve been bullying My Woman?


    Shengting is my ownpany. You dont need to worry about it, Nian Junting walked over in big steps, wearing a cold smile, I got off the car by the gate, because I want to hear how youve been bullying my women while Im not here.


    We didnt bully her just now. We were talking about reality. Were doing it for your own good, Yu Wen hurriedly exined.


    For my own good? Nian Junting sneered, walked up to Yu Wen and carefully looked at her. Gradually, his dark eyes showed disappointment. Grandma, you were an amiable olddy in my eyes, but why you look so tart and mean now? You cant even be honest with me. Right now, you still believe that you did nothing wrong.


    Hearing him, Yu Wen blushed. I did make a mistake, she said, I shouldnt believe Cang Ying and


    That night, Lu Kang was going to attend the Christmas Show at Luosangs school. But you suddenly showed up in Sheng Ting, kept Lu Kang busy. Because of you, shes bullies by others right on stage. If Chi Shengxu wasnt there, how was she supposed to leave without being harmed?


    Nian Junting asked with a deep voice, No matter what her father did, shes just a girl. You knew what was going to happen, yet instead of helping her, you helped the bad guys. You dont even have a little heart of mercy. You go to the temple and donate money at every New Years day and the Lantern Festival. Are you reallypassionate? Or, are you just pretending?


    You Yu Wen trembled with anger.


    Thats uneptable, Murong Ze scolded him, Your Grandma might have made a mistake, but she meant well.


    Enough about Grandma, Grandpa, did you and my mom went to Find to see aurora because you worried that Lu Kang might ask you for help? Nian Junting turned his sharp eyes to Murong Ze.


    Murong Ze avoided the eye-contact, responding, Dont me your mother. I didnt want her to help, so I invited her to Find. She didnt know.


    Yu Wen stood in front of her husband, saying, Dont me your grandpa either. He didnt want to do it at first. I made him. But, we wont let Yi Jingxi get away with it. He brought such a big trouble to yourpany. Well punish him for you.


    Do you want to punish him for me, or for yourself? He has fooled you, so I assume youre not pleased. Nian Juntings words went straight to the heart of the matter, If you didnt pull strings behind my back, if you didnt get my mother away, things might not be like this. Mypany has lost nearly two billion dors, and wholl be responsible for that? You kept on saying that Im the future owner of Zhong Zhou Group, but have I ever taken your money? All my money is earned by myself. I borrowed money from my Mom when I founded mypany, but Ive paid back every penny. Grandma, Grandpa, tell me, have I ever taken your money?


    Yu Wen and Morong Ze were both embarrassed. Why are you talking about that? Said Yu Wen in displeasure, Its all because you want her to be your girlfriend. If you insist, you might lose more than two billion next time.


    Ive talked so much, but it seems that you still dont think that youre wrong, Nian Junting looked very disappointed, Shes my girl. Not to mention two billion, Im willing to lose twenty billion for her. With my, Nian Juntings ability, cant I earn that money back? Youre just worrying that I might get Zhong Zhou Group into troubles, arent you? Alright, I wont take her Zhong Zhou Group.

 Chapter 392. Im Ashamed of You for Bullying a Girl Like This

    Chapter 392. I''m Ashamed of You for Bullying a Girl Like This


    Murong Zes face turned ashen gray.


    Nian Junting frowned. Im not joking. I mean what I say; from now on, I dont want you pestering me with this matter. Even if you y dirty tricks behind my back, youre my grandparents, and I understand the virtue of filial piety, so I have no choice. No matter how burdensome, useless, and nasty you are, you are family, but I can choose to distance myself from you.


    Junting, we may be in the wrong, but were still family. Murong Cheng was deeply troubled. Dont say these things. The Zhong Zhou Group will be yours one day.


    Nian Junting said inly, With such a hugepany, Im sure your nephews and nieces will be fighting for a piece of the pie. Otherwise, since you listen to Grandma so much, you can give it to her niece, Kang Ying, or Ye Chuen. I dont care. Just stop pestering me.


    You how dare you say these things. Murong Ze trembled in anger.


    Yu Wen was flustered. Kang Ying isnt even my own daughter. The only daughter I have is your mother.


    Sister Lan, see the guests out. Nian Junting hoisted Luo Sang to her feet and brought her towards the stairs. After taking a few steps up the stairs, he stopped and looked down at them. Dont me me for being too harsh. Its the two of you who are too noble. I really fear being a burden to you. In the future, please stop stirring trouble behind my back, ying dirty tricks, and not keeping your word. Im ashamed of you for bullying a girl like this. Also, rest assured, since you dont like Luo Sang so much, Ill spare you the displeasure and not invite you to our wedding. He turned to leave with Luo Sang.


    Cheng Cheng, what should we do? Could he just be threatening us? Yu Wen was flustered.


    Mom, didnt I tell you to keep your thoughts to yourself? Murong Cheng was infuriated. There are so many things going on at work, couldnt the two of you have saved me any trouble? Alright, its useless to talk about these things. I dont think Junting is joking. Maybe its time to look for another sessor.


    Murong Ze was also enraged. Am I to leave thispany into which I poured my lifes blood, sweat, and tears to your cousin?


    Dad, the two of you are already so old, can you just let things be? Just tour the world, go shopping, y around. Since you made a promise thest time, you should have fulfilled it. Now youve broken your promise. Dont you know your grandsons temper by now? I cant even grab a hold of him, not to mention the two of you, Murong Cheng ranted before walking off in frustration. Lets go, lets go. Ill take you home.


    Its all your fault, Murong Ze chided Yu Wen. Its your fault for being influenced by your niece. Two billion dors are gone just like that. Are theypensating us? Can theypensate us? Dont ever let me catch them in our household. Murong Ze went outside immediately.


    Seeing that her daughter, husband, and grandson were now seething with resentment towards her, Yu Wen wanted to break down.


    On the balcony on the second floor, Luo Sang watched as their car drove off. She could not help but say to Junting, Theyre your grandparents, after all. Werent you a little harsh? Furthermore, theyre already so old, shouldnt you treasure your time with them?


    Nian Junting snorted. I think I demonstrated plenty of restraint. Its exactly because theyre my family and theyre old that I cant hit or scold them. This time, if they dont patch things up with you, Ill never speak to them again.

 Chapter 393. I Almost Forgot that Im A Man

    Chapter 393. I Almost Forgot that I''m A Man


    Luosang fell into deep thoughts, murmuring, In fact Your Grandmas words made sense. You see, yourpany has suffered a huge loss this time


    Before she finished, her body was turned around by him violently.


    Nian Junting gripped her shoulders with hisrge hands, tightened his face and said, Dont listen to that olddy.


    No, you dont understand. Yi Jingxi is really sick, Luosang bit her lip. She didnt tell Nian Junting that Yi Jingxi said that he still loves her, as she was afraid that Nian Junting might be pissed off.


    I know. He loves you, but cant have you, so he wants to destroy you, said Nian Junting coldly.


    He understood Yi Jingxi. Perhaps, he would do the same crazy thing if he saw his beloved woman with some other man.


    You know he Luosang gave a start, saying.


    If he doesnt love you, why didnt he leave you alone? He hates your family, but your father is already in prison. Its meaningless for him to waste time on you, if he doesnt love you, Nian Junting continued with a frosty voice, Sadly, he doesnt understand that hell have no chance at all, as his enemy is the perfect me.


    Luosang curved her lips downward. Even if you didnt show up, he wont have a chance, she thought.


    Luosang, listen, Things became like this all because of Yi Jingxi. Hes making this happen with his media resources. If no one is hying this, youd bepletely safe. So this time, Ill do whatever I can to punish him.


    Nian Junting stared at Luosang in the eyes and continued, All his products wont pass the censorship. Once his money stoped reflowing, hell suffer severe loss. The shareholders of the film and television base will start to have doubts. Then, Ill take the opportunity to purchase their stock. I want him to have nothing.


    Luosang was shocked.


    I wont break up with you, unless we stop loving each other, he continued confidently, I dont care about money. Like what I said to my Grandma and the others, I can still rise again even after losing everything. No one in the world can defeat me.


    If someone else said such arrogant words, Luosang mightugh at him or her, but hearing these wordsing from Nian Juntings mouth, she couldntugh.


    His was confident for good reasons.


    Alright, stop having these random thoughts. Itll be silly for you to leave me because of money. After real, your man is priceless, Nian Junting let go of her shoulders, continued, Im taking a shower. Wait for me on the bed. We havent made out for a long time. I almost forgot that Im a man.


    Watching him turn and walk into the bathroom, Luosang blushed immediately.


    Theyre been parted for too long, so she nearly forgot how obsessed he was to that kind of kings.


    Unexpectedly, he spent quite a long while in the bathroom this time. About half an hourter, he came out. His face had been shaved, looked delicate again. However, his bloodshot eyes and the dark circles under them made Luosang worry.


    I think you should take some rest, Luosang couldnt help but say to him.


    No, I have a meeting tomorrow morning at eight oclock. I dont want to wake you up, so we have to make out tonight, Nian Junting began stripping himself, If we dont do it now, Im afraid that you might forget the taste of mine and jump into Chi Shengxus arms.


    Im not like the men who cheat on their girlfriends all the time, said Luosang.


    Who knows? I heard from someone at a dinner party that women have a strong sexual appetite, especially after the first time. Theyll easily be attracted by other men if they arent satisfied.

 Chapter 394. Luo Luo, I Know We Havent Done This in a While

    Chapter 394. Luo Luo, I Know We Haven''t Done This in a While


    Besides Nian Junting humphed. You and Chi Shengxu have been staying under the same roof. Im envious. I want to leave my mark all over your body.


    Luo Sang was embarrassed at the lewdness of his words. But I havent showered. If he kissed her in that ce before she showered, it would definitely be embarrassing.


    Without knowing how they got there, she found her hands on his waist. It was only then that she realized that he had indeed be skinnier. His waist used to be more muscr.


    Nian Junting suddenly withdrew his lips from hers and said, Luo Luo, I know we havent done this in a while, but you dont have to keep hinting at me by cing your hands on my waist. Lets take this slowly.


    Luo Sangs face turned red instantaneously. Im not hinting at anything, I just feel like your waist has be skinnier.


    Dont worry, although its skinnier, it has no effect on my powers in that area, so dont bother thinking about Chi Shengxu. Im still able to end him, Nian Junting said, before engaging her lips again in a passionate kiss.


    Luo Sang was lost for words. Since when had she ever thought about Chi Shengxu? There was no need for him to keep harping on it. She did not have much time to think about that, however, for the more passionately they kissed, the less she was able to think about other things. It had already been ten days, but there was not a hint of frigidity. Instead, their passion sparked to life, as they were already familiar with each others bodies.


    Oh slow down A soft moan escaped from amid their locked lips. They might have been kissing for too long, for Luo Sang noticed that not only was sound escaping from between their lips, but saliva was also drooling down their chins, a sign that they were deeply entwined with passion. Nian Junting ignored her and moved to kiss her ears aggressively.


    After a while, Luo Sang noticed that there was not a stir of movement. She only heard the deep breathing of the man next to her. She could not help but turn her head, only to find the man who had just proimed that he was capable of defeating Chi Shengxu sound asleep.


    Really If he could fall asleep like that, he must have been really sleepy. If he wanted to sleep, why did he insist on making out with her? She sighed, amused. She did not move, but only covered both of them with a nket, then tucked herself into his embrace and went to sleep.


    Unfortunately, she was soon awakened, for he had begun to snore. Usually, he did not snore. It must have been because he was too fatigued. It was, however, extremely disturbing.


    Luo Sang was a light sleeper. She would wake up at the faintest stirring. As this was the first time she had encountered this with him, she decided to quietly leave his embrace and sleep in the other bed. However, covering her ears with the nket was barely enough, and she ended up sneaking downstairs to sleep.


    As she opened the door, Sister Lan noticed her. She came over anxiously and asked, Sang Sang, why are you not sleeping in the same room as Master Nian? Shouldnt you both be busily engaged in passionate reunion? Is it because of what the old granny said? You must not be affected by what they said.


    Sister Lan, you might be middle-aged, but you sure have a youthful outlook. Luo Sangs lips curled. You are mistaken about why Im here. I came down because Junting was snoring too loudly.


    Dont lie to me. Youve never not slept with Master Nian because of his snoring. Sister Lan shook her head in disbelief.


    It might be because he hasnt slept in two days and is too tired. Do not worry, we are not having an argument, Luo Sang reassured Sister Lan. Only then did she let her go off into her own room.

 Chapter 395. In Fact, Im still A Boy

    Chapter 395. In Fact, I''m still A Boy


    Luosang didnt sleep well these days either. She had been having may problems on her mind. Now, as Nian Junting was back, she finally rxed.


    She sleptfortably. But early in the morning, someone suddenly lifted her nket.


    Waking up by the coldness, Luosang saw the angry Nian Junting standing by the bed.


    He was still wearing his pajamas. Clearly, he just got up.


    I just came back, but you slept in the guest room. Why? Because I fell asleep with making out with you? Nian Junting obviously felt upset.


    Luosang was confused. She hadntpletely waked yet, so she barely knew what he was talking about.


    You think I want to fall asleep? I havent slept for two days. I just closed my eyes when kissing you, but then I fell into unconsciousness, Nian Junting continued, face filled with fidget, But no matter how, you shouldnt sleep in the guest room.


    Luosang rubbed her eyes, finally understood his meaning. She felt a little speechless. No, I couldnt sleep because you were snoring. So I came down and slept here, she exined.


    Enough. How can I possibly snore? Nian Junting felt insulted, My sleeping manner has always been perfect. The women who have slept with me all wanted to sleep with me again. A rue word like snore can never be used on me.


    What did you say? Luosang rubbed her ears, Who slept with you and wanted to sleep with you again?


    Nian Junting paused, then hurriedly responded, I was making an example. I never slept with any woman but you.


    So youre a virgin, Luosang blinked her eyes, as if she had discovered a newnd.


    Nian Junting didnt manage to reply immediately.


    Luosang was so perceptive. He was nearly thirty years old, yet he was still a virgin. That was nothing to be spud of.


    As he remained silent, Luosang clicked her tongue and continued, I didnt think that youre still a virgin


    Im not, Nian Junting quickly interrupted her, said proudly, How can it be possible? Im such a popr man, hm.


    So youre not a virgin, Luosangs pretty face immediately wore a fake smile,  Who have you slept with? No wonder youre so good at taking off women clothes. It turned out that youve practiced. I didnt know that youre an experienced man.


    Nan Junting even wanted to bit off his tongue. Are you talking about you ndering me for snoring?


    Not anymore, I want to talk about whom youve slept with.


    nder you for snoring? So shameless, Luosang thought.


    Luosang was wide awake now. She was rather unhappy, saying, Youre not a virgin. Why you always want me to stay away from other men? I at least still have my virginity.


    Thats not the same. Im older than you, Nian Junting scratched his head.


    It was embarrassing for him to admit that he was a virgin, yet when he denied, she became envious.


    Thats not an excuse. Tell me, how many women have you slept with? Luosang crossed her arms before her chest, raised her chin and said, One, two, three


    Alright, stop, Nian Junting couldnt bear listening to her, and his voice turned lower and lower, In fact, Im still a boy


    Luosang looked at this tall and strong man in front of her, couldnt help but burst inughter.


    Still a boy? Youre a virgin, so say virgin. We arent living in the ancient time. Did youe specially to make meugh so early in the morning?

 Chapter 396. You Missed Out on a Night of Passion

    Chapter 396. You Missed Out on a Night of Passion


    What are youughing at? Nian Junting was flustered, and a slight blush appeared across his face. So what if Ive never had a woman before? I know, you must be so d.


    Luo Sangs stomach began to ache fromughter. Nian Junting really knew how to give himself excuses. No, Imughing at you virgin


    Nian Juntings blush had now spread to the tips of his ears. Fine. After all, he had blurted out that he was a virgin. He was not to me, though. Xiao Si had yed the historical martial arts drama in the car out of boredom a few days ago at the border, causing him to identally blurt it out.


    Enough, stopughing. Nian Junting looked down and forced her into a kiss.


    Luo Sang let him kiss her, but she was still chuckling. Even more flustered now, Nian Junting pressed himself more forcefully onto her lips until she ran out of breath and had to stopughing. Only then did he let her go. Now, why dont we talk about how youve been using me of snoring?


    I havent been lying. Luo Sang unlocked her smart phone and tapped on a recording. Ive even recorded it.


    On hearing the sound of the deep snores emanating from her phone, Nian Juntings face turned gray. Enough, switch it off.


    Luo Sang did.


    Nian Junting was embarrassed. I must have been too tired recently. Ive never snored before, you know that.


    Yes, I know, so you dont have to be so embarrassed. Luo Sang chuckled. I didnte to sleep in the guest room only because you fell asleep while kissing me.


    Nian Junting gritted his teeth. You missed out on a night of passion.


    It was now Luo Sangs turn to turn red. Its time for you to go to work. Didnt you say that you had a meeting this morning?


    Ill be busy for a few hours. Ill deal with you when I get home tonight. Nian Junting red at her.


    Are you sure that you wont just keel over and start snoring once youre done dealing with me? Luo Sang waved her smart phone in his face.


    Nian Junting froze. This was a serious problem, for his snoring would ruin the image of him in her eyes. Alright, you can deal with me then.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    Seeing her at a loss for words, Nian Juntingughed. That settles it, then. My little Junting cant wait to be dealt with by you. Finishing his sentence, he walked toward the door proudly, ignoring her flushed face.


    At the door, he turned and said, The police have already arrested the bosses of the three mediapanies that published those vile articles about you. No one else will dare to publish anything about you again. You can leave the house if you want. Ill send bodyguards along with you.


    Luo Sang was stunned. How did you do that?


    By collecting evidence. Nian Junting said inly, Most of what they published was untrue. Furthermore, it harmed your reputation and infringed on your privacy. Because of their untruthful reporting, any harm they brought to you was sufficient enough for me to report them to the police. Now that the three mediapanies have shut down, the Yi family will no longer be able to use the media to engender public discourse. Now its my turn to get the media to expose them instead.


    How are you going to do that?


    Youll find out soon.


    Alright, but in the meantime, I think its best if we dont go on dates, Luo Sang said. After all, I already announced publicly online that Ive broken up with you. We should give it some time before we appear together again.


    It doesnt matter. It ismon for lovers to break up and get back together. Dont think too much about it. Am I not dating you right now? Think about those celebrities who take drugs. A public apology is all it takes for them to regain their reputation. Nian Junting chuckled. As for your studies, dont be in a rush to return. Wait for your principal toe personally to ask you to return.

 Chapter 397. Our Love Started There

    Chapter 397. Our Love Started There


    Luosang gazed at him.


    He will if he still wants to be the president. He doesnt own the school, and Professor Ma can go back to work. I have already put the people in your school who insulted you the most in jail. I promise, no one in that school will dare to do anything to you. However, if your presidentes to see you, do not talk to him. Wait until Im back, Nian Junting said proudly.


    Why? Luosang could never fully understand him.


    Because Ill humiliate him. Or what? Let him beg you and then forgive him? Nian Junting snorted, then left.


    Luosang was dazed for a while, then slowlyid back down. Only at nine oclock did she get up.


    Sangsang, the president of your school came to visit you. But as Young Master instructed, I told him that youre not here, said Sister Lan.


    Luosang didnt think that the president woulde so soon. She didnt know what Nian Junting nned to do, but she decided to let him do whatever he wanted.


    Shengting.


    At one pm, Nian Junting made time to go back to his office for lunch. Once in, he saw Murong Cheng sitting on the couch.


    Whys she here? Lu Kang, show our guest out, Nian Junting ordered coldly.


    Murong Cheng tapped her watch while saying, Ive waited for two hours.


    Because of what your parents did, Im too busy to even have lunch, Nian Juntingined.


    Last night, my parents realized that they were wrong. They wont listen to Kang Ying and her family anymore, and they wont try to stop you from being together with Luosang. Murong Cheng sighed, Theyre old. Every year they have might be theirst.


    Can people do whatever they want because theyre old? Nian Junting asked without thinking.


    What do you want, then? Will you really not talk to them anymore? said Murong Cheng. You know what my fathers nephews are like. They will destroy the Zhong Zhou Group sooner orter.


    Let them destroy it, then. I didnt found it, so I feel nothing, Nian Junting said carelessly.


    Murong Cheng angrily grabbed an apple from the desk and threw it at Nian Junting, saying, I spent half of my life working for the Zhou Zhong Group. Now youre telling me that you feel nothing? You heartless thing.


    Dont throw that at me. Im unhappy with you, too. Nian Junting stared at her and said, As my mother, you failed to persuade my grandparents. What did I do when my father cheated on you? I beat him up without saying a word, and I broke up with Shuangwei. Ive been single all these years. Now, I finally have a girlfriend, but how did you treat my girlfriend?


    What did I do? Murong Cheng didnt understand. Im supporting you.


    Youre just saying that, but you didnt give us any actual support, Nian Juntingined. Look at the mother of my rival in love. Chi Shengxus mother bought shoes and clothes for Luosang, let her feel the warmth of home, even became her godmother. What about you? Youre not even as good as Sister Lan.


    Murong Cheng couldnt think of a word to say.


    You need to take all the responsibility for what has happened, said Nian Junting. Last year, when you found out that I was finally well, you sent Steward Wu away on purpose, to make Luosang take care of me alone. We slept in the same room, and our love started there.


    Alright, its all my fault, Murong Cheng surrendered. Im going to buy her shoes and clothes right now. Is that okay?


    Go, dont be unsupportive.


    Murong Cheng felt that even her stomach was twitching because of anger. What on earth had she done in her previous life that brought her such a son in this life?

 Chapter 398. Your Wives Cant Match My Girlfriends Looks

    Chapter 398. Your Wives Can''t Match My Girlfriend''s Looks


    It was 4pm when Luosang received a call from Murong Cheng while studying. Sangsang, when are you free? Lets go shopping soon. You can bring along Nian Xi.


    Luosang was ttered that the CEO of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation had personally given her a call. Auntie, this


    From Juntings tone yesterday, I can tell that hes certain about you. Given this, I think we should foster a closer rtionship, shouldnt we? Murong Cheng said cheerily. How about tomorrow? I heard that you are taking a break. Im not too busy at the moment, either. Let me know what you would like to buy. Having thought about it, I do feel sorry for you. You lost your family at a young age. Let me provide you with the warmth of a family.


    These words seemed familiar, somehow.


    That does it, then. See you tomorrow. Murong Cheng hung up. Luosang slowly regained her senses. She was beginning to understand where Nian Junting had inherited his dramatism from.


    In the evening, Luosang heard that Nian Junting had to work overtime and was unable to return home for dinner. She decided to bring food to his office for him. When she arrived, it was already dark. She spotted Nian Junting still engaged in a meeting with several other executives. She did not interrupt them. She sat outside and fiddled with her smartphone.


    After a while, she went to the bathroom. As she did, she heard a voice from outside. Was that Mr. Nians new girlfriend?


    Yes, looks like she brought him dinner, too.


    Luosang was suddenly alert. She became conscious of her own breathing. Usually, people bad-mouthed her while gossiping, especially since her reputation had taken a hit recently.


    She looks very pretty. I heard shes the reason why Shengting has been embroiled in a storm recently.


    Indeed, men will always like pretty girls. To think that I believed that Mr. Nian was together with Mr. Xiao previously


    Youre not alone. I heard about that, too, and was bothered for a while. Eventually, I heard that he had found a girlfriend again. Its really too much of Mr. Nian. How can he be interested in both men and women?


    No wonder Mr. Xiao must have been too heartbroken toe to work, even with such a critical incident befalling thepany.


    The stock prices have been dropping. I heard that Mr. Nian only showed up yesterday because he had followed Mr. Xiao overseas, but it must have been too hard to bear leaving his girlfriend here, and so he returned.


    Ah


    The voices slowly tapered off.


    Luosang emerged from the bathroom, speechless. She shuddered. What kind of misunderstanding must have urred for the employees to believe that Nian Junting and Xiao Si were in love? Their imaginations had indeed run wild. They should have known that if Nian Junting were to hear of these rumors, he would surely blow his top.


    As she returned, Nian Junting had just finished up his meeting with the executives. After seeing Luosang, he smiled and said, I wont be joining you for dinner. My girlfriend has brought food for me. Her culinary skills are impressive. She must have been afraid that Id be hungry, especially since Ive lost weight recently. Thats why she decided to cook for me personally.


    Luosang was speechless. He was boasting again.


    Mr. Nian, what a lucky man you are. You have us all in envy, one of the executives chuckled.


    Thats alright. Although your wives cant match my girlfriends looks, virtue is what matters when choosing a wife. There arent many who are both pretty and virtuous like she is. Nian Juntingughed.


    Mr. Nian, welle backter, then.


    Luosang had the feeling that the group of executives were holding themselves back from beating him up.


    Mr. Nian, sorry, but I didnt cook your dinner.

 Chapter 399. His Little Brother was very well-trained by her

    Chapter 399. His Little Brother was very well-trained by her


    She just really wanted to say that.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting was displeased. Since youre bringing food to me, you shouldve cooked by yourself, to show your sincerity.


    Ill leave if you dont want to eat, Luosang honest felt that Nian Junting was a little greedy. So, she turned and prepared to leave.


    Whyre you leaving? Never mind, since its the first time for you to send food to me, Ill forgive you, Nian Junting dragged her into the office.


    Conveniently, he also locked the door.


    Do you have to lock the door to eat? Luosang didnt understand.


    Nian Junting gave her a meaningful nce, saying, Except for eating, cant we do something else?


    Something else?


    Luosang immediately started imagining things, and that made her face blush.


    She hoped that she was wrong.


    Well kiss at least, said Nian Junting, If we want to go further while kissing, itd be unpleasant to lock the door then.


    Luosang felt that even the floor under her feet was burning. She regretted. She shouldnte here to deliver food. Did you say that youre so busy that you dont even have the time to eat? She asked.


    But, didnt you brought food to me? So now, I have a little spare time, Nian Junting opened the lunch box. The food was still warm, clearly Sister Lans work. He was a little disappointed, but anyhow, Luosang brought the food to him by herself.


    Thinking about what he said just now, Luosang felt a little unsettling. She never dared to even think about making out in his office.


    Eh Since the food is delivered, I should be leaving now, she said.


    Why? Nian Junting immediately swallowed the food in his mouth, saying, You came here because you miss me. What will the point be if youre leaving so soon? You can stay here, wait for me to get off work. I dont mind being disturbed by you.


    But I mind, Luosang said through clenched teeth.


    I allow you to not mind, Nian Junting raised his eyebrows.


    As she stayed silent, Nian Junting lowered his head to continue eating.


    Your mother called me today, invited me to go shopping with her, Luosang looked at Nian Junting, confusedly, She said that shell let me feel the warmth of home. Did you tell her anything?


    I said nothing. But, she has epted you since the beginning. All the bad things are done by my grandparents. I guess, she heard what I said yesterday and learned that youll definitely be her daughter-inw, so she decided to get along friendly with you.


    Nian Junting raised his head and continued, If she wants to go shopping with you, you can buy whatever you want. Dont think about saving money for her. She has plenty of money.


    Luosang silently curved her lips downwards.


    Murong Cheng wasnt her mother. How could she possibly ask Nian Juntings mother to buy her whatever she wanted?


    Believe me, Nian Junting added, In fact, my mother tried to bring us together back when you were working for me. At that time, she put Steward Wu away on purpose, so we can develop some feelings to each other, as I was a single man, while youre a single woman.


    No way, Luosang blinked, I was pretending to be thirty years old back then. I was old.


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a moment, then responded with, Maybe she liked your inner beauty.


    Luosang couldnt think of a word to say.


    What inner beauty did she have? Even she didnt know that about herself.


    Nian Junting dragged toward him, made her sit on his knees, then put his ears near her ears and whispered, I told my mother that youre especially good, that her sons little brother is very well-trained by you.


    Was that inner beauty? Luosang doubted that.


    The blushed Luosang rolled her eyes, saying, When did I train it? Youre so shameless.


    Dont you believe me? Nian Junting lowered his head and said with a low voice, See, you wanted it to stand up, and it did right away.

 Chapter 400. This Is Your Office, Your Secretary Is Right Outside

    Chapter 400. This Is Your Office, Your Secretary Is Right Outside


    Luosang looked down, and she felt something poking at her buttocks. Although it had been a while, she never forgot how it felt. She was almost impressed. How had he done that so easily?


    It needs you. Nian Junting nibbled at her earlobe. As her body trembled and shrank, he reached out silently and swiped away the dishes to the other side of the desk. Before she could react, he had ced her on his desk.


    Luosang was stunned. Realizing what was happening, she was fraught with anxiety. What are you doing?


    What do you think Im doing? Nian Junting quickly removed his coat and began unbuttoning his shirt.


    I thought you were joking. Luosang pushed against his chest, saying inly, Stop fooling around. This is your office. Your secretary is right outside.


    Dont worry, the soundproofing in this office is extraordinary. Moreover, no one will suspect anything. Everyone thinks that Im a serious man. Nian Junting began undoing his belt buckle while his voice became more and more gruff. I need you. God knows how Ive survived for the past ten days.


    Havent you survived fine for the 29 years before you met me? Luosang could barely bring him to a halt. She could only avert her eyes.


    I used to rely on my own hands, but now that I have a girlfriend, am I to do it myself? Stop joking. Nian Junting pulled her windbreaker from her shoulders and quickly undid the buttons on her shirt. Under the light, her marble-pale skin betrayed a shade of light-pink, her scent mesmerizingly sweet. All that remained was hercy pink lingerie. The sight of it made his temperature rise.


    Nian Junting stared nkly. He thought of the hardships he had experienced recently, and looking at such a beautiful sight, he finally understood why the heroes of old had bent over backwards for beauties. He buried his head, using his mouth to undo her lingerie piece by piece. His scalding hot breath could be felt against her skin, causing her to tremble.


    Luosang bit her lip. She tried but failed to push him away. With her mind in a fuzz, all she could do was to listen intently for sounds outside. As he had said, however, the soundproofing was indeed extraordinary. Even so, she could not rx. She bit her lip and kept silent.


    Eventually, as she was pressed against the desk, her hand identally brushed against hisputer. She froze, fearing that she had made too much noise. Stop really, stop She hade to his office many times before, but she never imagined that she would be lying with her clothes undone on his desk.


    Luoluo, your body is more honest than your heart. Nian Junting turned her body over, so her back faced him.


    She must have been too nervous, for her body was now more sensitive, and it trembled ever so easily. He turned her head to face him and kissed her lips between wild breaths. As their lips entangled, Luosang held onto the fountain pen by her side, her legs shaking like a sieve. She thought he would be fast, but he was not done when Lu Kang knocked on the door.


    Mr. Nian, Technical Manager Mr. Tu is looking for you, Lu Kang reminded him.


    Nian Junting took a few breaths and said calmly, Im not done eating. Hell have to wait outside.


    Alright.


    Luosang thought they were doomed. Seeing that the door was closed, was it not easy for anyone to guess what they were up to?


    How much longer? She whispered, Im starting to hurt.


    Nian Junting frowned. Maybe grinding isnt enough for me anymore.

 Chapter 401. I Want It to Be Romantic, Not Random…

    Chapter 401. I Want It to Be Romantic, Not Random��


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say. Could someone please tell me what to do?


    Luo, when are you gonna truly give yourself to me. Nian Junting gently embraced her from behind.


    Luo Sang paused for a second. She was clearly aware of the fact that herst line of defense was already meaningless now, based on what had already happened so far. In that regard, Nian Junting had kept his promise. He said that he wouldnt prate Luo Sang without her permission, and he never did.


    He really loved her dearly.


    If one day they had to separate, they would each marry a different person. But still, she now was willing to give him her virginity. In fact, she believed that giving her virginity to the man she truly loved would be more impressive than saving it for her future husband. Of course, it would be perfect if the man who had her virginity and her future husband were the same man. If things didnt end up in an ideal way, she would at least have the good memories and wouldnt regret her decision.


    When we travel together, okay? Somewhere romantic, Luo Sang murmured and blushed with aplicated look on her face. I want it to be romantic, not random


    Nian Juntings eyes glowed with wild joy. He hadnt expected her to agree when asking that question. Alright. He gently and excitedly put his arm around her. Suddenly, he felt that everything had been worthwhile.


    Atst, Luo Sang made some effort to solve Nian Juntings problem with her hands. She didnt realize how long they had spent in the office until she opened the door. She couldnt manage to raise her head while opening the door, as she felt that everyone was staring at her with a weird look. She swore that she wouldnt bring food for him ever again.


    Unlike her, Nian Junting was very calm. He even shamelessly said to Manager Tu from the technical department, In fact, I finished my lunch long ago. I specifically let you reflect on your actions. Do you know what you did wrong?


    Manager Tu was puzzled at first, then stuttered, Its my fault. Our website was attacked by hackers recently. I spent two hours fixing the problem.


    Yeah, Nian Junting nodded.


    Looking at the pitiful Manager Tu, Luo Sang suddenly felt sorry for him. He had done nothing wrong, other than interrupting his boss while she was doing that thing.


    At nine oclock in the evening, Nian Junting and Luo Sang went back to the vi after work. Once in, they saw President He waiting in the living room.


    Luo Sang nced at the teacups on the table. Clearly, President He had waited for a long time, as four teacups had already been emptied.


    Young Master, President He has been expecting you since six oclock, said Sister Lan.


    Mr. Nian, you two are finally back. President He smiled fawningly. Luo Sang, I came here to take you back to school. Those students who attacked you at the Christmas show have been suspended, and the ones who insulted you were given demerits. No one in the school will dare to bully you or say things about you ever again.


    Luo Sang stayed silent. She looked at Nian Junting, waiting to see how he would humiliate President He.


    You said that some of those students have been suspended. What about Ye Chuen? Nian Junting sat on the couch with Luo Sang, then raised his cold eyes to look at President He.


    President He was slightly puzzled and responded, Isnt Ye Chuen your rtive? What did she do?


    I dont sense your sincerity. Nian Junting smiled. Im telling you, Luo Sang will go back to school, only if Ye Chuen is not there.


    President He hurriedly gave a smile and replied, Please dont worry about that. Ye Chuen is going abroad soon, to study.


    Yeah, a famous music academy. President He, youre really nice to her. Nian Junting sneered.

 Chapter 402. If He Wanted It Again Tonight, She Would Not Reject Him

    Chapter 402. If He Wanted It Again Tonight, She Would Not Reject Him


    President He shifted ufortably in his sofa. What Mr. Nian is saying is


    If youre seeking not to offend both parties, Im afraid its not possible. Nian Junting casually raised his eyebrows. The Ye family may not be able to guarantee your job as President.


    I get it. President Hes faced turned a few shades paler. After working hard for so many years, he was not about to let his position go so easily. If you want me to expel her, I need to have some evidence. We dont have any right now. The way I see it, I will still have to let her go overseas to study, but maybe she can go to a different school.


    Nian Juntings eyebrows slowly lowered.


    President He quickly sat forward in his seat, lowering his voice to a whisper. She can go to a less reputable music school. From what I know, there are many in Paris with simr names. I can send her to one of them. Even if they realizeter on, Ill just say that they had simply misunderstood from the beginning. Apparently, Ye Chuen gave up her contract with thepany to study overseas. Shell be overseas for two to three years and will miss out on the prime time for her to debut. Moreover, these lousy schools simply have nothing for her to learn.


    Luosang looked on at President Hes scheming self. She thought about how vicious men could be as well. What President He would do could just derail Ye Chuens music career forever.


    But if the Ye family kicks up a fusster on, Mr. Nian, you might have to help me deal with that. President He chuckled nervously. The Ye family has been entrenched in the upper echelons of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation for decades now. Their clout is undeniable


    Dont worry about that. Even if they remain in Zhong Zhou in the future, they will not have too much power, Nian Junting said inly. No one will bat an eye at a notice of recruitment.


    President Hes eyes seemed to twinkle. That settles it, then. As for Luosang


    Who said you could say her name? Nian Junting red at him.


    President He hurriedly corrected himself, Ms. Xu


    Luosang was perspiring from embarrassment, but she looked at Nian Junting silently.


    Nian Junting tapped his fingers on his thigh. You tried to suspend my girlfriend, initially. If not for Ms. Fengs intervention Furthermore, my girlfriend was attacked during the Christmas ball. As a President, your first instinct was not to protect your student. It makes me ufortable.


    Mr. Nian, that was neglectful on my part. I promise that it will never happen again, President He hurriedly said. In the future, I will treat Luosang like a deity in our school. Even if I am wronged, I will never let her be wronged again.


    Thats more like it. One more thing Professor Ma must be treated well. She is Luoluos benefactor, Nian Junting added coldly, before allowing a much-relieved President He to leave.


    Luosang was touched. She was touched because not only did he try to help her, he had also tried to help Professor Ma. She thought to herself, if he wanted it again tonight, she would not reject him, even if she was exhausted.


    After she finished showering, however, she realized that he was sitting at his desk, looking at hisptop in full concentration. She thought that he was working, but upon walking over, she realized that his screen was filled with pictures of the seaside.


    What are you doing? If youre tired, you should quickly shower and go to bed, Luosang said.


    You can go to bed first. Nian Junting did not look up. Im looking at itineraries by the seaside. Didnt you say that you wanted a romantic night? Ill go do some research on where is best.

 Chapter 403. He Missed the Fascinating Sexy Sleepwear Last Night

    Chapter 403. He Missed the Fascinating Sexy Sleepwear Last Night


    Theres no need to rush, said Luo Sang. Didnt you say that you have so much work to do?


    Yeah, so I stayed up doing it at home. Nian Junting kept staring at the screen, saying, Of course its urgent. Its about my happiness. I really want to fly to the beach tonight, but we cant be too hasty.


    Luo Sang even regretted it a little. She shouldnt tell him that today, as she knew exactly how he would react. She nced helplessly at the sexy sleepwear that she wore especially for him. Since Nian Junting wasnt going to sleep, she decided to sleep without him.


    That night, she didnt know what time Nian Junting finally slept. When Nian Junting woke up in bed, Luo Sang woke up as well. It was still dark.


    So early? Luo Sang rubbed her eyes and sat up.


    Nan Junting turned and said, Yeah, I need to meet the owner of a securitiespany this morning. However, when he saw Luo Sang sexily dressed, he paused in shock, and his brain stopped working.


    Last night, he had stayed up to do research online until two oclock. After that, he was extremely tired, so heid down and fell asleep immediately. Therefore, he had no idea what she was wearing.


    Only now did he notice that she was wearing a sexy red negligee. The silk dress was short. The pair of thin straps didnt manage to cover her shoulders and chest. The red color made her skin look snow-white. In that dress, she was so sexy that his blood even boiled just seeing her. At the moment, he even wanted to tear that dress into pieces. However, what was the most tempting wasnt the dress, but was the fact that she was braless.


    He could imagine that under the nket, the dress must have been rolled up to her waist. He had seen that dress in the closet before. At that time, he asked her to wear it, but she refused. However,st night, she had put it on without saying anything.


    Why didnt you tell me that you were wearing thisst night? In the morning, the private part of his body was very sensitive. So now, Nian Junting even felt that to live was no better than to die.


    Luo Sang was puzzled at first, then she recognized the look in Nian Juntings eyes. She blushed immediately and pulled the nket slightly upward. ncing shyly at him, she said, I was going to surprise you, but you didnt even look at mest night.


    Nian Junting regretted that so much. Last night, he couldnt think of anything else other than a passionate night with Luo Sang by the ocean. How could he know that he had missed the fascinating sexy negligeest night?


    You should have told me. Nian Junting didnt get out of bed but instead, turned back to press Luo Sang down. Her shiny ck hair spread out on the pillow as her eyes wore a drowsy look. Immediately, Nian Junting suffered a pain from his private area. As he prepared to forget everything else and do what he wanted, his phone suddenly rang.


    He paused. Seeing the miserable look on his face, Luo Sang kindly reminded him, I think Lu Kang is here to pick you up. Just go. Dont bete.


    How am I supposed to go out like this? Nian Junting looked at his crotch.


    Luo Sang blushed, saying, Even if I help you, itll take at least ten minutes. I think you should just take a cold shower.


    Nian Junting stared at her for a while with a painful look, then turned and went into the bathroom. About five minutester, he came out, neatly dressed. You need to wear something sexier than that for our first time.


    Dont be greedy. Luo Sang blushed and covered her face with the nket as she red at Nian Junting.


    Or Ill do it seven times a night with you. Nian Junting snorted proudly and then left.


    Luo Sang felt extremely speechless. Seven times? She thought, God only knows if you can.

 Chapter 404. I Have to Make Him Swoon at the Sight of Me

    Chapter 404. I Have to Make Him Swoon at the Sight of Me


    Lu Kang had waited in the car for 15 minutes before he finally saw Nian Junting emerging from within the vi with a glum look on his face. His heart was thumping. Ever since Mr. Nian and Luosang had stayed together, he had left the house in a cheery mood every day. Was it because he had beente by three minutes?


    Only after Nian Junting got into the car did he ask in trepidation, Mr. Nian, is everything alright? Was it something I did?


    Nian Junting looked at him nkly and said in a monotone, I suffered heavy lossesst night.


    Lu Kang froze. Mr. Nian, did you buy any stocks against night? In any case, youve always seeded in trading stocks.


    Nian Junting chuckled. What stocks? Last night Luoluo put on the lingerie I got you to buy previously, but I was too busy and ended up not paying any attention.


    Lu Kangs lips curled slightly. He thought to himself, with so much capital in the stock market, how could he speak of stocks so lightly? However, he said, Mr. Nian, you should have had a proper rest after working sotest night. Thepanys stock prices have already stabilized. You dont have to worry about it anymore.


    I wasnt busy with work, I was busy with private matters. Nian Junting rubbed his eyes, annoyed. Im nning to take Luosang for a lovers vacation in the winter. I tried to search for a suitable location by the sea, but after a few hours of searching, I still havent found anywhere special.


    Lu Kang was speechless. He had overestimated his bosss enthusiasm for work. Mr. Nian had evidently fallen too deeply in love.


    At two in the afternoon, Nian Xi came over to take Luosang and Murong Cheng shopping. Luosang drove on the way there. Nian Xi sat in the front passengers seat, using her phone to search makeup brands. Luoluo, what do you think about this lipstick from Dior? Apparently, its great for use in the winter. Nian Xi showed her a picture.


    Luosang took a look at it and said, Not bad.


    How about this one from Estee Lauder?


    Not bad, either. Luosang saw that she was conflicted and said, If you like, you can just buy all of them, but you should try out the colors first.


    Thats true. I have so many things to buy today, youll have to spend the entire day shopping with me. Nian Xi could not contain her excitement. Ji Chuan ising back soon. I need to dress up nicely for him. After not seeing each other for a year, I have to make him swoon at the sight of me.


    Luosang chuckled. She could empathize with her. Who wouldnt want to disy her most beautiful side to the one they loved? However, from what Nian Junting had told her, Feng Ji Chuan would have to be hospitalized immediately after returning. Would Nian Xi still be in the mood to dress up then?


    The mall that the three of them were visiting was the one that had the most luxury goods shops in the entire Xia City. Murong Cheng appeared to have been waiting for a while. She wore a seasonal coat, looking mature and experienced.


    Greeting each other, Murong Cheng smiled warmly. We met so hastily the previous time and ended things on a sour note. Lets have a good day out today. Sangsang, tell me whatever you would like to buy, and Ill buy whatever you want for you. You can consider yourself half a daughter-inw today.


    Luosang was ttered. Although Nian Junting had told her to buy whatever she wanted wildly, she was still ill-at-ease. She could not let Murong Cheng think that she was materialistic. Thank you, Auntie. Junting has actually bought many new clothes for me. Ill just take a look around.


    Dont be shy, my moms loaded. My brother doesnt spend her money. If its just me spending her money, the pressure will be immense. Nian Xi took her hand and began walking towards the esctor. Come,e. Lets go check out the lipstick brands.


    Murong Cheng looked at her daughter helplessly. Am I buying things for you, or Sangsang?

 Chapter 405. At That Moment, Luo Sang Found that Murong Chengs Face Seemed to Be Covered in Ice

    Chapter 405. At That Moment, Luo Sang Found that Murong Cheng''s Face Seemed to Be Covered in Ice


    Luo Sang smiled and said, Its alright, I want to buy some lipstick, too.


    Nian Xu stuck her tongue out at Murong Cheng, then said, Sorry, my future sister-inw is closer to me than to you.


    Murong Cheng shook her head with a smile. Looking at the two girls walking in front of her, she suddenly felt warm in her heart. In fact, a family was more lively with more people.


    The second floor was upied by lipstick counters. Nian Xi quickly moved between them. Atst, she bought at least one lipstick from almost every counter.


    Luo Sangughed, saying, You bought at least 20 lipsticks. Didnt you buy any lipstick before?


    Murong Cheng rolled her eyes and responded, She was busy shopping every time before Ji Chuan came back. Once Ji Chuan left, her lipsticks would disappear. Ive bought her many pretty outfits, yet she never wore those. She only wears uniforms and doesnt look like a girl at all.


    I work in a police station every day, spending time with criminals. When do I have time to dress up? Besides, who would I dress up for? My colleagues? Those criminals? Nian Xi sighed. Forget it. They all look oily and gutless. Besides, the clothes you boughtst year arent pretty enough. Dont you know that girls are alwayscking clothes?


    Youre right. Lets go upstairs and look around, Luo Sang suggested.


    They went upstairs to the jewelry department. Nian Xi picked three sets of jewels. Luo Sang didnt want to spend too much of Murong Chengs money, so she only picked a ne and a bracelet. After that, they went up to the next floor to shop for womens wear. Nian Xi tried things on in every store. Every time she tried something on, she would be delighted with the result.


    What should I do? I look stunning in every dress. Well, in fact, being too pretty can be annoying sometimes.


    Hearing that, Luo Sang felt that Nian Xi was exactly the same as her brother. However, Murong Cheng didnt agree. How can you say that? She said to Nian Xi, This shirt makes your shoulders look so wide. You look like a tomboy in it, not pretty at all. Go take it off.


    You have poor taste, Nian Xi argued. This is called unisex beauty.


    Girls need to look gentle and demure. I think that dress is not bad. Murong Cheng still didnt agree.


    I dont like wearing dresses, said Nian Xi.


    Luo Sang stood aside, watching Nian Xi and her mother. She admired them slightly. She had seen many mothers and daughters who got along with each other like this. Sadly, she hadnt had a mother since she was little.


    Just buy it if you want. Murong Cheng was so annoyed that even her stomach ached. Turning back, she found Luo Sang standing aside quietly and politely, wearing a white dress that she liked and a coat, looking very pleasant. At that moment, she sincerely admitted that her son had good taste, even though he could be strange sometimes.


    Sangsang, this dress looks nice. Go try it on. Murong Cheng gave up on her daughter and pinned her hopes on Luo Sang. Lets go. Well try it together. Before Luo Sang could respond, Nian Xi dragged her into the fitting room.


    Luo Sang came out first. The elegant, brightly colored dress that she wore was perfect for attending all sorts of high-ss parties.


    Not bad. Put on a coat, then youll be perfect. After Murong Cheng had spoken, the shop assistants voice was heard from behind the door.


    Ms. Jiang, I havent seen you in a long time.


    Ive been abroad, a woman responded with a smile in her voice.


    At that very moment, Luo Sang found that Murong Chengs face seemed to be covered in ice. Ms. Murong, whats wrong? she asked.


    That woman seemed to have noticed Murong Cheng as well. She gave a start at first, then came over to greet them after hesitating briefly. Cheng, long time no see.

 Chapter 406. Shuangwei Is Coming Back in a Few Days

    Chapter 406. Shuangwei Is Coming Back in a Few Days


    Luosang turned her head and looked. The woman who spoke had walked over. With her long, ck, wavy hair, she appeared to be in her forties. Dressed in a white jacket and white skirt, she wore a pair of high heels. Although she was mature, she still had a slender figure and appeared elegant. If Murong Chengs appearance was described as being firm like iron, then this womans appearance could be described as being as gentle as water.


    Dear, could you do me a favor and bring her that coat over there? Murong Cheng ignored the woman and turned her head to talk to the sales assistant.


    Cheng Cheng, its been so many years. Are you still angry? The woman looked at Murong Cheng, appearing ever so slightly hurt.


    Jiang Qi Fei, I already told you, I never want to see you ever again in my life. My words wont change over time, Murong Cheng said coldly.


    Jiang Qi Fei appeared upset, biting her lip.


    Luosang was troubled. She wondered if she should find an excuse to leave. Just then, Nian Xi finished changing and emerged from the changing room. Sangsang, what do you think of this Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Jiang Qi Fei. Her expression instantly changed.


    Xi Xi, youre still as pretty as before. Jiang Qi Fei smiled at her. Shuangwei ising back in a few days, too. You guys can meet up then. I still remember when you both were the best of buddies.


    Jiang Qi Fei, my daughter and I never want to see you or your daughter ever again. Murong Cheng stared at her coldly. Nian Xi, Sangsang, go change your clothes. Well leave once we pay.


    Cheng Cheng, must we drag our children into our problems? Jiang Qi Fei frowned. They grew up together. Furthermore, Nian Xi is Ji Chuans fianc, and Ji Chuan is such good friends with Shuangwei. How can they avoid each other?


    What are you two waiting for? Murong Cheng shot Nian Xi an impatient look. Nian Xi pulled Luosang with her to the changing room. On the way, Luosang saw Nian Xis moody expression. She wondered about the history that Murong Cheng had with this woman and the girl called Shuangwei. To have made Murong Cheng so angry, did this woman have anything to do with Nian Qingyun? However, as this seemed to be a private family matter, Luosang decided not to ask about it.


    They finished changing. This time, Nian Xi took the same amount of time as she did. As they walked out, they realized that Jiang Qi Fei had not left. She said to Nian Xi, Xi Xi, how is Ji Chuans health? When Shuangwei and I are free, well pay him a visit.


    Nian Xi was confused. Murong Cheng said, enraged, Jiang Qi Fei, I asked you to scram. Why are you still here? Must I hit you?


    Luosang grabbed Nian Xis arm and said, Lets go somewhere else.


    Nian Xi did not budge. She stared right at Jiang Qi Fei. What happened to Ji Chuan? Why did you ask about his health? Did something happen?


    Jiang Qi Fei was startled. You didnt know? Shuangwei told us that hes been shot, but hes no longer in critical condition.


    What? Nian Xi stared at Murong Cheng. Ji Chuans injured, and you all knew?


    Murong Cheng said quietly, Your brother told us that he was injured at the China-India border.


    So my brother hasnt been busy with thepany, its because Ji Chuans in mortal danger? Nian Xi was infuriated. Youve all been hiding this from me. No wonder I havent been able to contact him. What if anything happened to him? I wouldnt even be able to see him.


    If you knew, youd definitely fly over. The ce is so dangerous. I can ept that you became a cop for him, but I will not let you go to such a dangerous ce.

 Chapter 407. Youll Marry My Brother Sooner or Later, So Youll Eventually Find Out Anyway

    Chapter 407. You''ll Marry My Brother Sooner or Later, So You''ll Eventually Find Out Anyway


    Murong Cheng was getting angry. Hes fine now, she said. Your brother told me that hes on his way back, and Xiao Si is with him. Hell arrive in about two days.


    What if something did happen to him? Would you still watch me shopping for clothes and makeup, without telling me anything? Nian Xi bit her lips with tears in her eyes. Im done. You continue. She threw the shirt in her hand away and left grumpily.


    Murong Chengs face grew pale with anger.


    Ms. Murong, Ill go with her, Luo Sang said hurriedly to Murong Cheng. Dont worry, shell be fine.


    Murong Cheng waved her hand and said, Sangsang, thank you. She really doesnt know how I feel. After Luo Sang left, she nced coldly at Jiang Qifei, saying, Youre great. You sowed discord between me and my daughter with just a few simple words.


    How could I know that you had kept it secret from Nian Xi? Jiang Qifei wore an apologetic expression and said, Cheng, Im really sorry for what happened before. Ive realized that I was deeply wrong.


    Why didnt you feel sorry when you were with Nian Qingyun? Murong Cheng said resentfully, then picked up her bag and quickly left.


    Downstairs, Luo Sang finally caught up with Nian Xi, who was walking as fast as a gust of wind. Xi, I understand that youre angry with your mother and brother, but they really care about you. Maybe you dont know it yet, but Ji Chuan was injured at the border of China and India. Its a war zone. You need to go through snowy mountains to get there. Youre a police officer, but you still wouldnt be able to get there. Youd know if you saw your brother. He has lost quite a bit of weight during this trip.


    Sangsang, you knew it all along, didnt you? Nian Xi turned around and looked at her.


    Luo Sang frowned. A momentter she replied, Xi, in fact, Im really jealous of you. You have a mother who cares about you and a brother. Your mother always talks straightforwardly to you. Sometimes her words are even mean, but you have no idea how jealous I am of you for having her and Junting. You may think that hes hateful sometimes, but once you suffer any injustice out there, hell be angrier than anyone else. They might be wrong, but they did what they did to keep you safe. And please dont worry, Ji Chuan is truly safe now.


    Hearing her, the look on Nian Xis face improved slightly. However, she still couldnt stop worrying. How did he get hurt? she asked.


    I heard that he got hurt during a mission. The details are confidential, so I dont know. Luo Sang shook her head.


    Nian Xi pressed her lips together. A whileter, she said to Luo Sang, Ill drive you back.


    Its alright, Ill take a taxi back, said Luo Sang.


    Lets go. Ji Chuan isnt back, anyway. I have nothing else to do but wait at home. Nian Xi sighed with concern.


    On their way back, the atmosphere was a little depressed. Luo Sang was thinking about the woman who showed up at the shopping mall. She wanted to ask Nian Xi about her but didnt know how.


    Atst, Nian Xi brought it up. Are you curious about that woman?


    Everyone has their own secrets, Luo Sang responded politely.


    Youll marry my brother sooner orter, so youll find out eventually. Nian Xi sighed and said, Its an ugly family story. Because of her, my parents left each other, and my family broke apart.


    As I thought, Luo Sang said to herself.


    You dont seem to be surprised at all. Nian Xi gave a bitter smile and continued, It was a disaster for two families. The woman you saw just now used to be my mothers best friend. During that time, my mother met my father. Not long after they got together, my mother found that my fathers good friend, Uncle Leng, was a very good man. Uncle Leng and my father had been friends since they were little. My mother introduced Uncle Leng and Aunty Jiang to each other. Atst, she and her best friend married my father and Uncle Leng, who were good friends as well. They even had their weddings together.

 Chapter 408. At that Moment… It Was as If Our World Had Fallen Apart

    Chapter 408. At that Moment�� It Was as If Our World Had Fallen Apart


    Luosang frowned. She thought of herself and Zhong Yi being betrayed simrly. She could empathize with Murong Chengs anger and sorrow. Perhaps Murong Cheng had it worse than she did. At least she did not marry and have children with Yi Jingxi.


    Nian Xi continued, When I was little, I felt that our family was blessed to be able to go on vacation at least once a year with Uncle Leng and his family. We were such good friends with their daughter. One day though, when we were older, they started fighting. We eventually found out that Auntie Jiang and my father had My mother refused to believe it at first. She had seen the shady text messages that my father had been receiving, but she decided to keep quiet about it and find out who it was. She never thought that shed catch my father and Auntie Jiang red-handed during one of our vacations. At that moment it was as if our world had fallen apart.


    Luosang was stunned. She could not fathom what it must have been like.


    In my mind, I always saw my mother as a dignified person. That was the first time I saw her hit someone and cry so uncontrobly. Nian Xis eyes had turned red. She was betrayed by both her best friend and her husband simultaneously. My mom could not understand. If my father had liked Auntie Jiang from the beginning, why did he marry her in the first ce? If they had truly fallen in love with each other, they could have let her know. She was not the type who would refuse a divorce. She even entertained the thought of going away overseas. Its just that she had found out in the worst possible way


    Ive seen your father. I never imagined him to be that kind of person. Luosang could barely hide her disgust.


    Yes, my father seems so stoic and solemn, but who knew Nian Xi chuckled bitterly. My father said that after marriage, my mom worked full time. Every time the four of them went out, he would be envious of how Auntie Jiang and Uncle Leng always seemed so well dressed and appeared so gentle and charming. The four of them met up so frequently. He knew that it was wrong, but I guess lust got the better of him. My mom said that she had seen them together on many asions, but she thought nothing of it as she trusted her own friend. It was only after that she discovered that they had been at it for at least an entire year.


    Luosang sighed. If Im not wrong, your parents did not get a divorce, right?


    Yes, my father refused to do so. Nian Xi shrugged. Men are like that. They want too many things. My father still loved my mother more. After all, they had been married for so many years. After the affair, he cut off all ties with Auntie Jiang. He was even beaten up by my brother and grandpa so badly that he couldnt walk for a month. What use was that, though? The damage had been done. Furthermore, they had been married in the military, and it wasnt easy to get a divorce. My mom had all the evidence on hand. She could have sued my father in court, but she decided not to for the sake of our futures. If my father had been ruined, our careers could never have been this sessful, and Zhong Zhou Group Corporation would never be where it is today.


    On hearing this, Luosang could not help but hold a degree of admiration and respect for Murong Chengs selfless maternal love. She was willing to bear the pain for the sake of her children. What about Uncle Leng? Luosang felt sorry for him, too.


    Nian Xi shook her head. Uncle Leng really loved his wife. She was so precious to him, but perhaps he was never as handsome as my father. After the affair, I saw him crying for the first time. He divorced Auntie Jiang soon after. Apparently, even after the divorce, he still gave her a significant sum of money. He must have loved her deeply.

 Chapter 409. She Isnt Your Brothers Ex-Girlfriend, Is She?

    Chapter 409. She Isn''t Your Brother''s Ex-Girlfriend, Is She?


    So, her husband is a really good man. She cheated on him, yet he still treated her so well. Luo Sang strongly disliked people who were lucky but never cherished what they had. That woman named Jiang Qifei seemed to be a greedy woman.


    Yeah, Uncle Leng is the best man Ive ever seen. Nian Xi nodded and said, Hes a little dull and doesnt understand the romantic stuff, but hes really nice to his wife and daughter. His family and mine were neighbors. They have moved away now, and Uncle Leng never talked to my father again.


    Luo Sang understood. Anyone would have done the same.


    I think my dad deserved it. He had such a great wife and friend, yet he didnt appreciate them. Nian Xi sneered and continued, Now, he wants so much to make up with my mother. He wants my brother and me to help, but we absolutely refuse. He didnt just trample upon years of marriage with my mother, but he also hurt my moms dignity. Seriously, if he wanted something new, he could have done it with some other woman. If he had done that, my mom would have been hurt, but not so badly. Why did he cheat on my mom with her best friend? That was like stabbing a dagger right into her heart.


    Your mother cant get back with a man like that. No matter how long it has been, some severe harm can never be forgotten. Luo Sang agreed.


    But hes our father, after all. Nian Xi smiled bitterly. Before, my brother and I barely talked to him. But over the past few years, for the sake of our grandparents, were trying to let it go. However, no matter what, I cant talk to him like I used to.


    Luo Sang patted the back of Nian Xis hand tofort her. Suddenly, she felt sorry for Nian Junting. No wonder he had a weird look on his face when he had said that there were few good men in this world.


    What about Leng Shuangwei? Luo Sang asked. Judging by what that woman just said, her daughter seems to still be in touch with you.


    Um, sort of. Nian Xi looked ahead, blinking. We grew up together. Were friends, and shes a nice person. However, we dont tell each other everything like we used to. Now, we only give each other good wishes during the holidays. My father and her mother had an affair, after all. Both of them need to take responsibility for that. We cant just me them, and theyre the same. Two perfect families were ruined, so we dont want to see each other, or bad memories will cross our minds.


    Luo Sang looked at her and stayed silent for a moment. A strange thought popped up in her mind. After a short silence, Luo Sang couldnt help but ask, Shes not your brothers ex-girlfriend, is she?


    Nian Xi mmed on her brake. The tires rubbed against the ground, causing a long, shrill noise.


    The driver of the car behind them cursed angrily, Can you even drive!? Psychopath!


    Nian Xi hurriedly restarted the car.


    Luo Sang blinked andughed, saying, You dont need to overreact like that, even if I guessed right.


    Nian Xi nced back at her and stuttered, I I was just, too surprised. Youre youre too good. How could you even guess that? Did my brother tell you something?


    No, just girls intuition. Luo Sang smiled but felt a little heavy-hearted. Somehow, she was a little ufortable. Also, I noticed that earlier, when mentioning her daughter, you had a strange look on your face, and you paused slightly.

 Chapter 410. It Could Be Annoying to Have an Overly Sensitive Sister-in-Law

    Chapter 410. It Could Be Annoying to Have an Overly Sensitive Sister-in-Law


    Nian Xi tried to recall what she had said earlier, but to no avail. She thought, my brother has found a detective, not a girlfriend.


    Sangsang, I think you shouldnt go into dubbing. You should juste with me to work at the police station after you graduate, Nian Xi said earnestly.


    Wait til Ji Chuan returns. I believe youll be just as sensitive as me one day. Luosang shrugged andughed. Actually it makes sense. After all, you all grew up together. It must have been easy to develop feelings for one another. Its the same with you and Ji Chuan. You got engaged so early on. Furthermore, your families already know each other. Its just like in the TV shows. After all, TV shows stem from reality.


    Nian Xi thought to herself, it could be annoying to have an overly sensitive sister-inw. Nian Xi suspected that if her brother found out that Sangsang knew about this, he would me her for being too big-mouthed.


    Keep guessing, she said inly.


    Your brother must have broken up with her because of what happened between your parents. Luosang fell silent momentarily, then continued, After such an incident, your mom and Uncle Leng would never want to see each other again. How could their children bear to continue their rtionship as if nothing had happened? Your mom would never approve of it, anyway.


    Hmm you guessed right. Nian Xi nodded. But rest assured, that happened so long ago. My brother only has eyes for you now.


    Hmph, I didnt say anything. Luosang shot her a look.


    Nian Xi was speechless. After saying so much, how could Luosang say that she hadnt said anything? Nian Xi was almost on edge.


    But Leng Shuangwei, Xiao Si, and your fianc are good friends. Ill probably meet them sooner orter, Luosang pondered aloud.


    Hmm, probably. Shell definitely be present for me and Ji Chuan. Nian Xi nodded. But theres nothing to worry about. Although she dated my brother, my brother has not lost his innocence.


    Luosang blinked. Are you sure you two are brother and sister? To have described him as a virgin so elegantly


    Of course. Although Impassionate and hes aloof, we barely have anything inmon.


    But how are you so sure that your brother never had sexual rtions with Leng Shuangwei? Luosang asked curiously.


    Nian Xi wanted to bite off her own tongue. She realized that she should have been careful while talking to a sensitive woman. She could not possibly reveal that her brother had once injured that body part, could she? Shuangwei told me before. Moreover, they both served in the army. They had very little time off.


    So, she served in the army. Luosang frowned. She recalled Nian Junting had mentioned that he used to discuss warfare tactics.


    Mm, her father was a soldier. Nian Xi saw that she was frowning. She felt her heart in her mouth. Whats the matter?


    I was thinking, if she has not forgotten about your brother, Ill never be able to defeat her, Luosang joked.


    Nian Xi chuckled. You can bring my mother along. I guarantee that she can match her inbat. Dont think so much, really. Itll be impossible for her toe between our family. After all, Im the one who should be upset right now, alright? My fianc has been shot. You have tofort me.


    Luosang burst outughing.


    After taking Luosang to her vi, Nian Xi drove herself home. On the way home, she received a call from Nian Junting. I heard you all met Jiang Qi Fei while shopping today. You already know about Ji Chuan?

 Chapter 411. Shes a Very Jealous Woman

    Chapter 411. She''s a Very Jealous Woman


    Yeah, and you wouldnt tell me. Nian Xi sneered. I was going to call you andin.


    Comin about what? He didnt die.


    Nian Xi was so angry. Hes like a brother to you. How can you say that about him?


    Because hes like a brother to me, I know that he wont die so easily. Take good care of yourself and prepare your request for leave. When Ji Chuanes back, youll be looking after him in the hospital, said Nian Junting. Wheres Luo?


    I drove her back. Nian Xi snorted. She knows who your ex-girlfriend is.


    You told her? Nian Juntings voice turned deep.


    Before Nian Xi could respond, Nian Junting unleashed his rebuke. I didnt tell you about what happened to Ji Chuan, and now youre already getting your revenge on me, right?


    Nian Xi was too angry to talk. Her brother actually thought of her as such an awful person.


    Dont try to fool me. How could she possibly just guess it? Shes not a fiction writer. You must have told her something. Nian Junting sounded anxious and annoyed.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Her brothers future wife was very sensitive, and that had nothing to do with her. What I said is the truth. Believe me or dont. Women can be like that when theyre sensitive.


    Yeah? Nian Junting stayed silent for a short while and then said, I think she cares too much about me. What should I do? Shes very jealous. She will overthink things and be angry.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but tell her brother, I dont think so. She looked calm to me. Shes very jealous? I doubt it, thought Nian Xi. Maybe you are.


    Havent you heard that some people are very good at hiding their feelings? I think Luo is one of them. Nian Junting rested his head on his palm and continued, What should I do? Shes such a jealous woman.


    The corner of Nian Xis mouth twitched slightly. She was going to be mad at her brother, but now, she felt that her heart was tired. Im done talking to you. Bye, she said, then ended the call.


    After that, Nian Junting couldnt stop feeling vexed.


    At Tianhu Vi at dusk, Luo Sang was helping Sister Lan in the kitchen. She wasnt in a good mood, probably because she had received quite a bit of information today.


    Sister Lans voice came from behind her. Sangsang, didnt I ask you to peel the ginger? Why are you peeling garlic?


    Luo Sang focused her eyes and found that the thing in her hands that was supposed to be a piece of ginger had now turned into garlic. Sorry, I was thinking, she said.


    Sister Lan asked while cutting vegetables, What were you thinking about that entranced you so much?


    Luo Sang remained silent for a while, then responded, Sister Lan, do you know Leng Shuangwei?


    Sister Lan was slightly puzzled and replied, No, whos that?


    No one. Luo Sang shook her head. It seemed that Leng Shuangwei was someone from a long time ago, or Sister Lan would have known her.


    At half-past six, before Luo Sang had finished eating dinner, Nian Junting came back.


    Didnt you say that you needed to attend some social engagement tonight? Why are you back so early? Luo Sang asked while eating.


    Um, I came back early. Nian Junting carefully observed the look on her face, then his heart sank a little. She hadnt even looked at him. He believed that she was so jealous right now but was still trying to act calm.


    What did you get with my mother and sister today?


    Two lipsticks, a dress, a ne, and a bracelet.


    Thats all? Nian Junting asked.


    I dont need much. Luo Sang raised her head and said, Besides Didnt Nian Xi call you?


    Nian Juntings heart missed a beat. Im dead. What is she implying? Is she going to question me?

 Chapter 412. Im Not a Man Who Messes Around. Im Loyal.

    Chapter 412. I''m Not a Man Who Messes Around. I''m Loyal.


    She said you all bumped into a woman. Nian Junting was not yet prepared and tried to be vague.


    Yes, Nian Xi was telling me some old stories. Luosang nodded as she ate. At this, Nian Juntings expression turned gloomy. Luosang looked up at him. There was a brewing feeling of unhappiness. She wondered if he felt more regretful for his mother or for his own abbreviated rtionship every time he reminisced about the past.


    I didnt imagine that youd figure it out. Nian Junting sat down beside her, frowning. Nian Xi talks too much.


    Shes treating me like her sister-inw. If we end up together, Ill eventuallye to know about some things. Luosangs voice quieted to a whisper. Unless youre fearful of me finding out.


    It wasnt anything to be proud of, Nian Junting said hurriedly.


    You sure it isnt because of Leng Shuangwei? Luosang raised her eyebrows quizzically.


    Nian Juntings heart skipped a beat. Now that they were talking about it, he knew he had to be careful. If Luosang ended up overly jealous, it would cast a shadow over their uing vacation. How could that be?


    Really? Luosang blinked. Youve never talked about her before. Isnt childhood love wonderful?


    Nian Junting frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, Luo Luo, stop beating around the bush. I can tell that youre jealous. Its not like I dont know your personality. Ask me whatever you want to.


    Since when was I jealous? Luosang wondered. She did have many questions, but she had already asked so many of them. Im not jealous, Luosang said. Im not like you. You get unreasonably jealous.


    Nian Juntings eyes widened in indignance. You cant simply put the crown of me on me in order to dispute your jealousy. I think we both know who the jealous one is here.


    How unashamed you are, Luosang thought. She looked down and inhaled deeply and returned to the original topic. Please answer my questions.


    Nian Junting stared nkly for a few seconds before recalling her earlier questions. These are things of the past. Theres nothing much to say. You didnt tell me about Yi Jingxi voluntarily, either. I had to find out from other people. Lets call it even.


    This was not the answer Luosang was looking for, but she could not dispute that. But do you still like her?


    Nian Junting put both his hands on the table. The corners of his lips curled into a smile. You still deny that youre jealous, but I sense so much jealousy behind this question.


    Luosang buried her face in her hands. Her desire to beat him up had returned after a long absence.


    Alright, stop imagining things. I have you now. Im not a man who messes around. Im loyal. Im loyal to the party, Im loyal to the country, and Im loyal to my family. Ill always take responsibility. Nian Junting chuckled.


    Luosang was speechless, who cared if he was loyal to his party or country? Suddenly, Luosang felt as if her whole body were ame. She should not have asked this pervert. Heh heh, yes, sheughed sarcastically. She was not nning on asking, but now he seemed too deserving of a beating.

 Chapter 413. You Finally Found a Perfect Excuse to Talk to Me

    Chapter 413. You Finally Found a Perfect Excuse to Talk to Me


    Before I answer your question, you need to answer mine. Nian Junting threw the question back at her. Has Yi Jingxi touched the private parts of your body?


    As Luo Sang stayed silent, Nian Junting felt extremely ufortable. He abruptly stood up. Luo Sangs face darkened as she said, Im asking you the questions now. Dont change the subject.


    I didnt. Please answer my question. Nian Junting stared at her sullenly.


    Luo Sang was so angry. She put down her chopsticks, turned, and walked into the study, as she really didnt want to talk to him. In the study, she began reviewing her lessons. Soon, Nian Junting walked in with his hands behind his back. He slowly paced before his bookshelf, seemingly trying to find a book.


    Luo Sang ignored him.


    He picked a book and went out. But before long, he came back in and kept looking for books. A whileter, he put the first book back onto the shelf, then took another one and left.


    Luo Sang studied for an hour, and during that hour, Nian Junting came in six times. He walked in almost every ten minutes to distract Luo Sang. Thest time he came in, Luo Sang was beyond tolerance. How many times are you gonna switch your book?


    There are so many books. Its never an easy thing to find a good one. Nian Junting turned and said with a proud face, But, you finally found the perfect excuse to talk to me.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    He had kepting in and out only to make her initiate the conversation. Luo Sang believed that Nian Junting was the most shameless man she had ever seen.


    Alright, forget it. Ill study in the guest room, Luo Sang stood up.


    Why go to the guest room? Arent you gonna sleep with me?


    Luo Sang didnt respond.


    He took the book, walked to her, and continued with a serious expression, I didnt sleep in the guest room when I was mad at you. Arent you going too far?


    Luo Sang raised her head and said, Are you pretending? Or do you really not know that Im angry?


    Why would I be pretending? I am a very frank, honest, and upright person, said Nian Junting. Youre angry because youre jealous, right? I dont think you need to be jealous. Im not in touch with her anymore. Im not jealous of Yi Jingxi. Cant you just learn from me?


    Luo Sang even wanted to vomit blood. Youre not jealous? she thought. I think youre super, super jealous. Im done talking with you. Stop bothering me. Luo Sang picked up her book and prepared to leave.


    Nian Junting sped her wrist, saying, I think you can be angry, but you have to sleep with me. Sleeping separately will affect our rtionship.


    Luo Sang thought for a moment, then replied, I can sleep with you, but I dont want to talk to you. Dont disturb me.


    Nian Junting blinked, then nodded and said, Alright.


    Back in the bedroom, they took showers separately, then Luo Sang turned on the TV with the remote control. Nian Junting sat by the desk, checking the stock prices and the news with an iPad. Only the sounds from the TV could be heard. Soon after, Yan Su called Luo Sang. When are you gonnae back to school?


    Tomorrow. Have you moved back into the apartment yet? Luo Sang felt guilty. Because of her, Yan Su wasnt able to live in the apartment she had rented.


    Yeah. I want to know if youll still live there or not, said Yan Su.


    I will. Ill go back tomorrow. Luo Sang smiled. Weve only been apart for ten days, but it feels like ten years. Wait for me. Well have a big meal together.


    Sure, Ill be expecting you, Yan Su said.


    Luo Sang ended the call, then looked up to find Nian Junting sitting beside her with a long face.

 Chapter 414. Start a Fight While in Bed but Make up Before Falling Asleep

    Chapter 414. Start a Fight While in Bed but Make up Before Falling Asleep


    Luosang ignored him. Seeing that she was so affectionate with another girl, Nian Junting was frustrated. He decided to vent his frustration over the phone to Nian Xi, What are you doing?


    Showering, why?


    This is all your fault, Nian Junting said. Why did you tell Luosang all that? Now shes so jealous that shes ignoring me.


    Luosang was speechless.


    He continued talking in front of Luosang. Shes treating me like I dont exist. What should I do? If you lose this sister-inw, I might find another who will rob us of our family fortune. Dont me me then


    Luosang could not take it anymore. She snatched his phone and hung up.


    I was talking to my sister. Why did you hang up? Nian Junting looked at her indignantly. You asked me not to disturb you, I didnt. You are the one who disturbed me first.


    Nian Junting, how old are you? Dont be childish. Luosang was almost speechless.


    Whos the childish one? Nian Junting frowned. I reserved my body for you for 29 years, but now you say that you want to move out to stay with a nobody. How dare you tell someone else that being apart from them for ten days feels like being apart for ten years in front of me?


    Luosang started perspiring. Dont speak of yourself so nobly. You did not even know me before. Moreover, why are you unhappy with what I say to another woman?


    You never said anything like that when I was gone for ten days, Nian Junting grumbled.


    Luosang felt helpless. They had started by talking about his childhood sweetheart. How had the topic changed so drastically that it was now her fault? She knew she could not beat him in an argument, so she decided to turn off the television and go to bed.


    Not after long, Nian Junting climbed into bed beside her. He was not peaceful, however. He tossed and turned, as if he was having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.


    Luosang was frustrated. Are you sleeping or not? I still have to go to school tomorrow.


    I cant sleep. Im having an argument with my girlfriend, and shes moving out to stay elsewhere. Nian Junting turned to face her, his dark eyes sparkling.


    Luosang was speechless.


    Nian Junting wriggled back under the sheets. Luosang watched as the wriggling mass moved closer to the foot of the bed. She did not know what he was doing, until she suddenly felt a gust of warm air against the soles of her feet and a wet kiss on the top of her foot.


    Realizing what it was, Luosang felt a warmth spreading across her entire body. She started wiggling her body away. Nian Junting, what are you doing? Get out.


    He ignored her. He continued kissing her feet and slowly moved upwards. It felt like electric shocks, drawing away all of Luosangs energy. When he finally emerged from the covers, his head of jet-ck hair was messy, his face was red as if he was struggling for air, and beads of sweat covered his nose. Yet, his handsome face had an air of charm.


    The sight of this made Luosangs mouth turn dry. She gritted her teeth and said, Were in the middle of an argument, ok?


    I know, so I came from the foot of the bed. Nian Juntings long eyshes fluttered. Isnt there an old saying that goes, start a fight while in bed but make up before falling asleep?


    She realized that she was rarely impressed by anyone, but now she was honestly impressed by him.


    Luoluo, stop being jealous. Im reluctant to bring up my first rtionship because it was associated with so many unhappy memories. After all, my family was torn apart, and my parents became strangers. Nian Junting sighed.

 Chapter 415. I Was Conquered by Your Old-School yet Excellent Hard-to-Get Game

    Chapter 415. I Was Conquered by Your Old-School yet Excellent Hard-to-Get Game


    Luo Sang really wanted to say loudly that she wasnt angry because of jealousy. However, no matter how hard she tried, Nian Junting wouldnt believe her. Besides, Nian Juntings pitiful look also made her give up.


    When I was 21, I was still a soldier. Nian Junting turned around andid down by her side. Under themplight, the dimness in his eyes couldnt be hidden.


    It was the most important period of my military life. We received the order from our superior. I needed to go to Xinjiang to carry out a secret mission. My superior said that as long as Ipleted the mission, hed apply for a transfer for me, and Id be promoted. However, the night before leaving, I received a message from my family. It was like thunder in a clear sky to me. Before that, I thought I was the luckiest person in the world. Nian Junting sighed, faced Luo Sang, and continued, I was born as a blessed child. My father is from a military family, while my motheres from business tycoons. People admired me for who I was, added with the fact that Im outstanding and handsome. I was so perfect.


    Listening to his story, Luo Sang was feeling a little sad at first, but now, the sadness had faded away. Alright, cut the unnecessary part. Talk about whats important, she said.


    Nian Junting gave her a sullen nce and replied, All of what I said is necessary. Then he lowered his eyes and carried on. But that day, my family fell apart. From the time I was little, my father taught me to protect my country, be loyal to my family, and be responsible like a man. Yet at that moment, the great father figure in my heart was suddenly shattered. In my soldier days, I saw my father as a goal to strive for, but in the end, I heard that he cheated on my mother with her best friend.


    He clenched his fists and said, How can such a nasty man even exist in this world? Back then, he knew that I was with Leng Shuangwei. Our parents had agreed to make an arrangement for our engagement when I came back for the New Year. However, he cheated on my mother with Leng Shuangweis mother behind our backs. That was so disgusting.


    Luo Sang had this sour feeling in her heart. It turned out that Nian Junting had nearly been engaged to Leng Shuangwei. At the same time, she felt sorry for Nian Junting. After all, what his father did was a humiliation for him.


    I was young. My endurance was limited. However, the mission was urgent. Because I was thinking about all those family things, I couldnt focus during the mission. As a result, I was hurt badly in battle and had to retire. Nian Junting couldnt hide the loneliness in his voice. Iid in bed for a month. Once I got back on my feet, I beat my dad and made himy down for a while as well. But of course, I also made my own wounds start bleeding again. I broke up with Leng Shuangwei. Her parents divorced because of what happened. Later, when we saw each other, we both felt embarrassed.


    Luo Sang couldnt think of a word to say. She now understood that he couldnt stay in the army because he had been affected by what happened to his family. She sighed, then rubbed his head. A whileter, she asked, Didnt you have other girlfriends after that?


    Well Nian Junting was embarrassed. Would he make himself sound less charming if he admitted that he had been single for seven or eight years? It had already been embarrassing enough for him to tell her that he was still a virgin.


    Tell the truth. Luo Sang rolled her eyes.


    No. Nian Junting lowered his head like a quail. But my charm is without doubt. At least 80 girls have tried to pursue me over the past few years, but atst, I was conquered by your old-school yet excellent hard-to-get game.

 Chapter 416. But Im Not Happy with You Tonight. Do You Have a Problem with That?

    Chapter 416. But I''m Not Happy with You Tonight. Do You Have a Problem with That?


    Luosang was speechless for a moment. She could not help but ask, Are you sure it was not because you were unable to forget Leng Shuangwei?


    Nian Junting was stunned. Why would you think so?


    Luosang stayed quiet. Was it such an absurd thought? For a man to not date for so many years, he must have either been hung up on his ex-girlfriend or abnormal.


    Let me ask you, do you still love Yi Jingxi? Nian Junting asked.


    I told you long ago, I dont.


    It hasnt been longer than two years since you broke up with him, and you say that you dont love him anymore. Its been seven or eight years since I was with Leng Shuangwei. Do you think I will still love her? Nian Junting frowned. He was starting to regret the consequences of Luosang being jealous.


    Luosang was again speechless. She then asked, Then why didnt you find another girlfriend?


    I felt that none of the girls who were interested in me were worthy of me. They all had problems and ws. The smart ones could not match up to my looks. Nian Junting was barely able to conceal his disdain.


    Luosang suddenly thought that she might have overestimated him. Why did you choose to be with me, then? I dont think I am worthy of you, apart from my looks.


    Havent I told you before? After meeting you, Ivee to understand and realize that imperfection is beauty in itself. Nian Junting looked deeply into her eyes.


    Luosang braced herself and continued to ask, What about Leng Shuangwei? Did you date her because she was perfect, or was she imperfect like me?


    The two of you arepletely different. Nian Junting gave it a thought. Shes the perfect type, thats why I dated her. I was the top student in every aspect back then, and so was she. We topped our academics, marksmanship, and our looks as well. Our families knew each other, and we understood each other well. I felt that our union would be beneficial for my future generations, so I agreed to date her after she confessed.


    Luosang was suddenly unsure of who she pitied more, Leng Shuangwei or herself. At the end of the day, Nian Junting had dated Leng Shuangwei only because she was perfect and would serve his future generations well gically. She also had to confess to him and wait for him to make a decision. To be deemed perfect by him, however, she must have been a really outstanding person.


    Alright, lets sleep. Nian Junting saw that she was silent and lowered his head to kiss her. His hands started to reach beneath her pajamas. After a while, he was not satisfied. Why are you wearing pajamas? Is there a need to? Theylle off eventually.


    Did I say we were going to do anything tonight? Luosang reached for a pillow and threw it at his belly. She kicked out with her legs, pushing him to the edge of the bed. Youre sleeping on the sofa tonight.


    Nian Junting was startled. Why? Wasnt I quite clear earlier?


    Yes, you were. But Im not happy with you tonight. Do you have a problem with that? Luosang stared at him.


    Youre being unreasonable. Nian Junting was beginning to feel a little upset.


    Yes, whos fault is it that Im imperfect? Imperfect women tend to be unreasonable. Luosang chuckled sarcastically.


    Nian Junting looked at her for a while before dragging himself over to the sofa glumly with a hmph. Unable to stretch his long legs out on the five-foot-long sofa, Nian Junting could only curl himself into a ball and drape the nket over his stomach.

 Chapter 417. What Should Men Do When Women Are on Their Period?

    Chapter 417. What Should Men Do When Women Are on Their Period?


    Luo Sang had no sympathy for him. She covered her head with the nket and stayed grumpy for quite a while before falling asleep. The next morning, she was awakened by an ufortable feeling in her belly. She sat up and found arge bloodstain on the bed. She was startled at first, but then she felt extremely embarrassed. She remembered that her period was supposed to start in a few days, but now it hade ahead of time. Was this because she had been so angryst night?


    Nian Junting wasnt awake yet. She sneakily took the sheet to the bathroom. She put on clean underwear and pants, then began washing the sheet. Before she had finished, Nian Junting suddenly came in.


    He had a sour look on his face, and his back hurt from sleeping on the couch. He was very unhappy, so he hadnt nned on talking to Luo Sang. However, as he turned his head to find that Luo Sang was washing a blood-stained sheet, he instantly became nervous.


    Did you bleed? Are you hurt? He hurriedly walked over and held her hand.


    Luo Sang blushed and turned to give him a threatening nce. He was puzzled for a while, then realized what had happened. I remember. Women bleed every month.


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say. Her period had started early because of this silly man. She didnt want to talk to him but continued washing the sheet.


    Let Sister Lan do it. Nian Junting decided to make peace with her. Women needed to be pardoned while they were on their period.


    No, how can I let anyone else do this for me? Luo Sang said in a muffled voice.


    Its just some blood. Why are you shy? Nian Junting didnt understand. Let me help you.


    No need, Im finishing, Luo Sang continued.


    Nian Junting watched her for a while, feeling very helpless. He had only had two rtionships so far. During the first one, he was in the army, focused on his military life, and rarely cared about woman stuff. So, as his second rtionship started, he still knew nothing about these things.


    He spent a while watching Luo Sang, then went downstairs.


    Seeing that he had left just like that, Luo Sang felt even more unhappy and more ufortable, as if she had a fire burning in her heart. She even got misty-eyed. She guessed that she was really sensitive and fragile during her period, as even this small thing made her want to cry.


    Sister Lan, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, saw Nian Juntinge in. Young Master, just wait for a few more minutes, she hurriedly said. Breakfast is almost ready.


    Um, no rush, take your time. I just want to ask you a few questions. Nian Junting thought for a moment, then said, What should men do when women are on their period?


    Sister Lan paused for a second. After she understood Nian Juntings meaning, her chubby face blushed slightly. Young Master is getting more and more thick-skinned, she thought. She was older than he was, but this kind of question could still make her shy. Madam is all about making money, so I guess she didnt manage to fulfill some of her responsibilities. I need to help Young Master.


    She coughed slightly, then responded stutteringly, Young Master, when a woman is on her period, her body will be in the most fragile state. During this time, sexual intercourse needs to be forbidden, because it might cause infection or extend the period. And that would cause more blood loss. The more blood she loses, the weaker her body will be. You need to understand. If you have to well, do it, you should just solve the problem yourself like you used to. After saying that, she nced at Nian Juntings hands.


    She had made it clear enough.


    Nian Junting was listening carefully at first, but soon, he sensed that something wasnt right. Atst, his face darkenedpletely. What kind of a person do you think I am? Of course I understand that. I mean, how should I treat her?


    Young Master, couldnt you have made your question clear sooner? Sister Lanined.

 Chapter 418. I Can Tolerate All of Your Unreasonable Fusses

    Chapter 418. I Can Tolerate All of Your Unreasonable Fusses


    Nian Junting was speechless. Had he not made himself clear? Although Sister Lan was not young, she certainly had a dirty mind.


    Sister Lan turned off the stove and continued, Is she experiencing cramps? Cramps are what women dread most. During a period, women need rest and must not be overworked. She should drink more warm water and take more red or brown sugar to soothe her womb, and avoid taking cold foods. She should also avoid alcohol and coffee, and stay away from strenuous activities. Im not only referring to activities in bed. This includes running, ball games, and more. She also shouldnt wear tight pants; itll be ufortable.


    Nian Juntingmitted this to memory and asked, Is there brown sugar?


    Yes, Ill prepare some. Sister Lan reached for the cab.


    Let me do it, teach me how. Since shes my woman, I should learn, Nian Junting said.


    Sister Lan nodded. Looks like Master Nian has the potential to be a decent man.


    As he finished preparing the brown sugar drink, Nian Junting spotted Luosanging down the stairs with her bag. He saw that she was wearing jeans with a red and white striped sweater. She looked great, but Nian Junting drew a concerned frown.


    Luosang ignored him. She walked over to the dining table and picked up a sandwich and an egg. She waved to Sister Lan. Sister Lan, Im going off to school now.


    Stop, Nian Juntingmanded. Youre on your period. You shouldnt go to school.


    Annoyed by hismanding tone, Luosang decided not to bother with him and started walking faster. Nian Junting could only catch up to her and grab her by the elbow. Youre on your period, so Im not going to argue with you. I can tolerate all of your unreasonable fusses, but you need to listen to me. Its for your own good.


    Im not that delicate. If Im not able to go to school when Im having my period, then how many days of school am I going to miss every month? Luosang tried to pry herself from his grasp.


    Nian Junting sat her down firmly and pressed his hands on her shoulders. You cant tire yourself out on your period. Look at how hot-tempered you are right now. It must be because of an especially heavy period, so you cant go to school. Stay home and rest today. Have this brown sugar and finish your breakfast, then go up and change into something morefortable. Stay at home. You can watch television and snack, just dont go anywhere.


    What has my temper got to do with my period? Luosang was stunned.


    Thats what I think. I havent got any other reasons. Nian Junting brought the brown sugar over. Have it.


    Luosang looked at the drink, but she was still frustrated. She felt annoyed by everything she was seeing. Perhaps it could be rted to her period.


    Sister Lan sensed that tension was rising and said hurriedly, Sangsang, Master Nian made this drink for you.


    Luosang felt slightly better, but she could not help but say, Men are all the same. When we have periods or fall sick, they only know to tell us to drink more warm water and brown sugar.


    Alright, I wont say it, Ill just make it for you. Nian Junting nodded.


    Luosang pondered for a moment before sumbing to the waves of her period cramps. Ill have the drink, but you cant stop me from leaving for school.


    No, you cant go. How could she go to school while bleeding? What if she suddenly lost consciousness?


    Already pale initially, Luosangs face suddenly looked even more unpleasant. Sister Lan started to panic and said, Master Nian, actually its ok to go to school while on a period, as long as she isnt having cramps. You dont have to make a mountain of a molehill.

 Chapter 419. Help, My Girlfriend Is in a Bad Mood Because Shes on Her Period. What Should I Do?

    Chapter 419. Help, My Girlfriend Is in a Bad Mood Because She''s on Her Period. What Should I Do?


    Nian Junting frowned and asked Luo Sang, Are you having dysmenorrhea?


    Luo Sang was feeling a little ufortable, indeed. However, she was worried that Nian Junting might not let her go to school, so she shook her head. She was irritated now, and she didnt want to see him.


    Alright, then Ill drive you to school after breakfast, Nian Junting said, then turned to Sister Lan.


    Have something warm and soft, said Sister Lan.


    Consequently, Nian Junting made her eat a bowl of warm porridge, a cup of warm milk, and a small bowl of wontons, and forbade her to touch any cold or spicy food. After eating all that, she felt a lot morefortable.


    Before leaving, Nian Junting ordered her to change out of her jeans into something else.


    Luo Sang refused to do what he said. I wont. I always wear jeans during my period. Why cant I wear them this time?


    Because you need to wear something loose. Nian Junting remembered every word Sister Lan had said and imagined some more details. Your pants are too tight. Theyre squeezing your stomach. What if it presses out more blood?


    Luo Sang nearly surrendered to his imagination. Even if my pants pressed out more blood, it would be static blood.


    I dont care. Tight pants arent good, he said.


    I dont care. I dont look pretty in loose pants. She didnt want to do what he said, even though he meant well.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and said, Why do you have to look pretty? You should only think about being pretty in front of me. Whom do you want to be pretty for when youre in school?


    Luo Sang gave up, as she was afraid that things might get worse. Alright, Ill change. Atst, she went upstairs and put on sports pants.


    Nian Junting drove her to school. On the way, she ignored himpletely and kept looking at her phone. Once they arrived at school, she immediately opened the door and got out of the car.


    Ill have the chauffeur pick you up this afternoon, Nian Junting said.


    Luo Sang shook her head and said, No need. Ill sleep at my apartment tonight. I stayed at your vi because I was on vacation. Now Im back in school. Living in my apartment is more convenient.


    But youre on your period, and Yan Su cant look after you. Youll need to cook for yourself if you live in the apartment. What if you get too tired? Nian Junting disagreed strongly.


    Luo Sang sighed. I survived without you before. Besides over time, itll grow boring if we stick together every single day. After saying that, she turned and left.


    Nian Junting spent a while looking at her back, then lowered his head to send a message. Before she had walked very far, Luo Sang received a message from Nian Junting. It wont be boring. I wont get tired of you, even if we stick together every single day.


    Luo Sang rubbed her belly. The pain had faded, but now it was back. Hes a pig, a low EQ pig, she thought. Staying away from him during her period seemed to be the right decision to make. Otherwise, he might cause her to bleed to death.


    Back in school, Luo Sang clearly realized that her ssmates wouldnt say bad things about her behind her back anymore. However, people seemed to be afraid of her and were unwilling to talk to her. That was enough for Luo Sang. She hadnte here to make friends.


    She finished her first ss in a state of concentration. During a break, the took out her phone to check her WeChat, then noticed Nian Juntings newest WeChat Moment: Help, my girlfriend is in a bad mood because shes on her period. What should I do?


    Xiao Si: Eh? Sangsang is on her period? Buy her more sanitary towels.


    Nian Xi: Ah, my future sister-inw is on her period? You should just shut up, try not to make her angry.


    Murong Cheng: Talk less, do more.

 Chapter 420. Luosang Must Have Turned Off Her Phone Because of Him

    Chapter 420. Luosang Must Have Turned Off Her Phone Because of Him


    In that instant, Luosang felt as red as a lobster. She felt flushed from her head to her toes, her cramps started to spread throughout her entire body, and she felt like she could copse at any moment. She recalled that Nian Junting used to block certain people while posting on social media, but now, with the exception of Nian Xi, he did not even bother. Did he want the whole world to know that she was having her period?


    She decided that she did not want to go to hispany anymore. She would be too embarrassed. She did not want to continue browsing through her social media anymore, so she switched off her smartphone.


    In the Shengting Office.


    At lunch, Nian Junting decided to call Luosang, but he was not able to get through. He was vexed. He remembered that Luosang had charged her phone fully the night before, so she could not have run out of battery. Left without a choice, he decided to call Yan Su. I havent been able to get through to Luosang. Did anything happen?


    No, I just had lunch with her. Yan Su was curious. Did you two have an argument?


    No, shes on her period and is a little moody. Help me keep an eye on her. If she starts feeling unwell, tell me immediately. After Nian Junting hung up, he noticed that Lu Kang had entered the room carrying two huge boxes.


    Mr. Nian, these are sanitary pads sent by Manager Shu and Manager Mao for your girlfriend. There are two boxes of them. Lu Kang ced the boxes to the side. There were already a few stacked up in the corner. Apparently, theyre imported from Japan. Theyre quite authentic.


    So many of them, when will Luosang finish using them? Nian Junting crossed his arms and frowned.


    Lu Kang did not know what to say. Who asked you to announce your girlfriends period on social media? Now all of thepany executives who follow you on WeChat know about this. Including these two boxes, there are already a total of ten, and Im sure there are more on the way.


    Everybody only knows how to bootlick nowadays. They dont do their jobs properly. Forget it, leave them there. Luosang will need them, anyway. Nian Junting shook his head and started to work at hisputer. After a while, he realized that Lu Kang had not budged. He looked as if he had something to say.


    Mr. Nian I identally overheard your call earlier. Did Miss Xu reject your calls?


    Nian Juntings face was downcast. Watch what you say. She did not reject my calls, she just turned off her phone.


    Lu Kang thought that Luosang must have turned off her phone because of him. However, as his subordinate, he decided not to speak too much. Mr. Nian, I think you might lose Miss Xu like this


    As he finished his sentence, he saw Nian Junting looking at him with a piercing gaze. Are you jealous of me because you dont have a girlfriend?


    Lu Kang felt helpless. Mr. Nian, I am jealous, but Im speaking the truth. You probably dont realize this, but to women, periods are extremely sensitive and private. Most women would get upset at you for posting about it all over your social media. I think Miss Xu turned off her phone out of anger at you.


    Really? Nian Junting suddenly became solemn. Isnt it just bleeding? What is so embarrassing about that?


    But its embarrassing where they bleed from Lu Kang whispered. You can ask Miss Nian if you dont believe me. He was genuinely worried about his bosss low emotional quotient. After dating for so long, he thought that he would have improved tremendously, but evidently not.


    Nian Junting considered his words for a while. Between his pride and losing his girlfriend, he decided to call Nian Xi. Tell me, if Ji Chuan told everyone about your period, what would you do?

 Chapter 421. Wish Yourself Luck

    Chapter 421. Wish Yourself Luck


    Nian Xi answered his question real quick. Id kill him. Or I wouldnt talk to him for a month, at least.


    Nian Junting couldnt think of a thing to say. As he remained silent, Nian Xi continued smartly, Dont tell me that you didnt block people when posting your WeChat Moment today.


    Still, Nian Junting said nothing.


    Nian Xi gasped and said, I thought you only showed it to a few people who are close with you. Mom and I are fine, but I think you should block Xiao Si. Hes a man, after all. I wanted to ask you that question this morning, but I was too busy, so I forgot.


    Nian Junting didnt want to say anything, as he already felt cold sweat oozing down his back.


    Brother, you said in the WeChat Moment that Sangsang was in a bad mood. What happened? Based on her brothers hopelessly low EQ and narcissistic personality, Nian Xi decided to ask the second question.


    Shes on her period. Didnt I mention that? Nian Junting replied impatiently. Nian Xi sighed and said, Brother, girls wont be unhappy for no reason, not even during their periods. There got to be a reason.


    Then Maybe it was because she bled on the sheet? Nian Junting guessed.


    Nian Xi rubbed her forehead. Cant be that. Didnt you call me to tell me that Sangsang was being grumpy because of Shuangweist night? Maybe thats the reason.


    Speaking of I exined that to her, and she touched my head. But in the end, she made me sleep on the couch. Nian Junting suddenly remembered something. But this morning I saw her wash the sheet. I thought that she was unreasonable because her period came.


    Nian Xi didnt understand how her brother was able to have a girlfriend with such a super low EQ. She felt sorry for Sangsang. Then it must because you didnt make it clear enough. Or, maybe you exined it the wrong way and that made her unhappy. Every girl is sensitive about their boyfriends ex-girlfriends. Tell me, how did you exin itst night?


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a while, then said, I dont feel like telling you. Thats our private business.


    Nian Xi was exasperated. You told everyone that shes on her period! How can you even talk about privacy? If you dont let me help you, Sangsang wont talk to you for a month.


    Nian Junting reluctantly told her sister about what had happened the previous night. After he finished, Nian Xi fell silent.


    He asked, Why arent you saying anything?


    Yeah, even I, your sister, dont want to talk to you anymore, let alone Sangsang. Nian Xi sighed and said, I just realized that Sangsang is such a great person. She sacrificed herself so that you wont go harm other women.


    Hearing that made Nian Junting unhappy. I exined it well. I really dont understand you women.


    Nian Xi sneered and said, I really dont know what to say to you. Right in front of your girlfriend, you said that your ex is perfect. Whats in your brain? Sangsang was being extra nice to let you sleep on the couch. I wouldnt have done the same if I were her.


    Nian Junting disagreed saying, But no matter how perfect my ex is, Im with her now, right? Like I said, being imperfect is also a type of beauty.


    Who cares about that!? All in all, what you were saying was that your ex is perfect, but Sangsang is not. Let me tell you something. Girls hate boysplimenting other girls in front of them. You shouldnt praise another girl in front of her, and you shouldnt say that shes not perfect. Youve made two mistakes in a row, and then you recklessly posted a WeChat Moment about her period. Oh my, wish yourself luck. You should consider yourself very lucky if she doesnt break up with you.


    Nian Junting stood up from his leather chair. Cold sweat was streaming down his forehead. At that moment, he seemed to finally realize how serious this whole thing was.


    What is done is done. Tell me, what should I do? he asked.

 Chapter 422. My dear Luo, Im sorry

    Chapter 422. My dear Luo, I''m sorry


    Nian Xi was going to ignore him but she felt sorry for him for being alone for so long, so she finally replied, You should send her a bouquet of her favorite flowers and add a card to apologise.


    Hmm what flowers does she like, do you know?


    Nian Xi raised her hand to her forehead, Dont tell me youve never bought her flowers before.


    Oh god, unbelievable. You should treasure Sang, she is such a great girlfriend, Nian Xi sighed, Men these days dont even buy flowers for their girls.


    Whats so great about flowers? They will wilt eventually.


    All those florists should pack up their business then.


    Nian Xi was frustrated, Flowers are pretty, even for someone like me who hangs around men all the time, I would appreciate flowers too. Im sure Luosang is someone who would enjoy them as well. Choctes too, never forget chocte and flowers during special asions like Valentines Day. You need to send her a red packet online on Childrens Day too, to tell her that you will spoil her like your own child.


    Nian Junting was dizzy from all that she was telling him.


    A woman feels the most vulnerable when they are having their period, you should send her some warm meals and all. Dessert and cakes would be good too, dont let her cook for you today


    I cant cook anything other than steak.


    Pardon me but you dont even cook steak well, Nian Xi said unceremoniously, Im not talking about your culinary skills now, its the thought that matters. If youre willing to put in effort, she will be moved by your actions. Anyway, you should listen to her and give in to all her requests during her period. Listen to Ma, talk less and do more, you really ought to shut your infuriating mouth.


    After they hung up, Nian Junting was in deep thought.


    He thought of himself as an expert at dating after so long, but after what Nian Xi had just told him, he realized that he was far from being perfect.


    At three oclock in the afternoon, Luosang finished her first ss and her cramps were killing her. She gave up on ns to study at the library and headed back to the apartment to rest.


    Yan Su was back home not before long, she asked, Whats wrong, Mr. Nian called me, did you turn off your phone?


    Dont talk about him, it makes my cramps worse, Luosang waved her away.


    Wasnt it going quite well? Yan Su was baffled.


    Luosang told her about what had happened grumpily, Yan Su was speechless.


    Im not going to bother with him for the next few days, Luosang stood up to go to her room.


    After napping for a while, Yan Su walked into her room with a bouquet of roses and a packed box of dessert, Lu Kang sent these over for you just now.


    Luosang nced up, she was a little shocked, Are you sure these are for me? Did Lu Kang buy these for you?


    Im just friends with him now, Ive exined things clearly, Yan Su grinned as she opened the card in the flowers, My dear Luo, Im sorry. I shouldnt have asked about those things online, I shouldnt haveplimented Leng Shuangwei, you are far more perfect than she is. No, Ill only love you even if youre imperfect.


    Luosang was blushing hard as she recited the card, she sat up and snatched the card away.


    She scrutinized the card and it was really his handwriting.


    Wow, what a disy of affection by Mr. Nian, I have to say that Im impressed, Yan Su teased her.


    Impossible, someone must have told him what to do exactly, Luosang was sure.


    You can slowly cultivate someones emotional quotient, Yan Suughed, Think about all those things that Mr. Nian had done for you, look at the state of Yi Group now. I heard Yi Jingxi has been running around looking for help in the industry.

 Chapter 423. Ill Pay for All the Sanitary Pad That You Need in Your Life

    Chapter 423. I''ll Pay for All the Sanitary Pad That You Need in Your Life


    Hearing her words, Luosang felt better. Apart from his low EQ, Nian Junting was nice to her in many ways.


    In especial, he punished Yi Jingxi for bullying her. Winter vacation wasing, so all the TV stations were falling over each other in eagerness to purchase the copyrights of the film and television works. However, she heard that the few films which Yi Group had invested a huge sum of money in, had all failed to pass the censorship. Even the TV series they made couldnt pass the censorship. This winter vacation was certainly going to be a hard time for Yi Group.


    Aside from that, Shengting lost nearly two billion because of her, but Nian Junting didnt even mention a word about it when he returned.


    In his heart, she was worth more than two billion dors. Luosang couldnt believe that she was actually worth so much money.


    Are you saying that I should just forgive him? Luosang asked for Yan Sus opinion.


    Yan Su paused briefly. She had just started her speech. She had many things to say to her, yet already, Luosang was thinking about forgiving him.


    She didnt even know what to say.


    At that time, Luosangs phone rang. It was a call from Nian Xi.


    What? Are you calling to persuade me to forgive your brother? she said.


    Sangsang, you misunderstood me, Nian Xi said. Im calling to tell you not to forgive my brother too easily.


    Shes a fake sister of his, isnt she? thought Luosang.


    I heard about it from my brother. My brothers EQ is really low! said Nian Xi angrily. Ive given him some suggestions about how to make you happy, but I was worried that you might get soft-hearted and forgive him too soon. You need to just ignore him, make him anxious. You better wait until your period is over. Im telling you, if you forgive him too soon, hell think that hes super charming and smart, and that you love him deeply.


    Luosang actually found Nian Xis words very reasonable.


    Shes really his sister. She knows him so well, she thought.


    Also, dont tell my brother that Ive told you this. I am a spy now, and I work only for you. Torture my brother as much you can. When they were finished talking, Nian Xi quickly ended the call.


    Luosang couldnt even tell if she found it annoying or funny. How much had Nian Junting made Nian Xi hate him, that she would be on her side.


    Your future sister-inw seems to be rather protective over you, Yan Su said jokingly.


    Yeah. After talking to Nian Xi, Luosang was in a much better mood.


    At dinner time, Yan Su was in the kitchen, preparing food, while Luosang was lying on the couch, watching TV.


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang.


    It must be Mr. Nian. Dont move, Ill get the door. Yan Su walked out and opened the door. She saw Nian Junting neatly dressed, standing by the door. Behind him, were over tenrge boxes. Near the elevator, Lu Kang was carrying more boxes.


    Mr. Nian, these are


    Sanitary pads.


    All of these Yan Su stuttered.


    Em. Nian Junting walked in and saw Luosang lying on the couch. He said with concern in his voice, Sangsang, are you feeling better?


    Luosang was getting curious when she heard what Yan Su had said. Then, she was stunned when she turned and saw those boxes.


    Seeing her look at him, Nian Junting smiled and said, Sangsang, these are all the best sanitary pads from all over the world. Some are from the United States, some are from Japan, Korea, and EU. Ill pay for all the sanitary pads that youll ever need in your whole life.


    Luosang nearly passed out.


    Yan Su opened her mouth wide. Mr. Nian, itll take her over ten years to use up all of these sanitary pads. I dont think they have a long shelf life.

 Chapter 424. My Sangsang Has Both Brawn and Brains

    Chapter 424. My Sangsang Has Both Brawn and Brains


    Then Ill grant you permission to use it with her, Nian Junting said authoritatively.


    Thanks. Yan Su thought that there was no way they could finish those, even if she chipped in, too. Mr. Nian, our apartment wont be able to hold so many boxes anyway, she added.


    Nian Junting looked around the room and nodded. I saw iting, I just brought it up for you to look at. Ill leave one or two boxes here and take the rest back to Tianhu Vi. You can call Lu Kang up to bring more for you whenever you need.


    Lu Kang nearly vomited blood when he heard what Mr. Nian said as he carried thest box into the apartment. He was supposed to carry them back down again. Yan Su looked at him sympathetically. Sangsang, you can stay here to talk to Mr. Nian, Ill go make us some food.


    Its alright, you stay and chat with her, Ill cook. Nian Junting remembered Nian Xis reminder to talk less and do more. He walked briskly into the kitchen.


    Luosang had a headache. She was d that he was willing to cook, but she was worried that he would burn the kitchen down at the same time. Yan Su saw the look of worry on her face and said, Let him go do his thing. Have you forgotten what Nian Xi said?


    Luosang agreed with her and started watching television while waiting for dinner to be ready. She could hear various sounds of chopping and slicinging from the kitchen. Luosang had never seen him use a knife. She was worried that he would cut himself, so she walked into the kitchen to see him chopping up a ck-bone chicken.


    She could tell that it was his first time, as he was in a lot more pain than the chicken on the chopping board. He was dripping with sweat while the chicken was still in one piece.


    Why did youe in here, Luoluo? Nian Junting looked at her. Have you forgiven me?


    Im just checking up on you. Im hungry. Luosang looked at him coldly. Go home and eat if you dont know how to cook. Dont make a mess over here. I dont have the energy right now to clean up after you as well.


    Are you still angry? Have you seen the little card that I sent you? How about the flowers? Nian Junting was relieved that she didnt seem like she wanted to break up with him.


    Dont mention the flowers. Luosang red at him. I dont like red roses. Its way too cheesy. I like champagne roses.


    There are champagne roses? Nian Junting asked in bewilderment. I thought there were only red and white roses in the world.


    He quickly added when she kept quiet, Ill give you whatever roses that you want. Dont be angry with me anymore. Dont waste your energy on me. You are on your period, and you should maintain a cheerful spirit. Im not familiar with such things. I didnt know that it was such an awkward thing to talk about for you girls. I wont ever post it on social media again. Ive already deleted it. I shouldnt have said that Leng Shuangwei was perfect, either. You are the only perfect one in my heart.


    Luosang looked at him and almost forgave him on the spot, but she remembered what Nian Xi said and decided against it. She was going to give him the cold shoulder for one week. Didnt your mother tell you to talk less and do more? Luosang said, You announced to the whole world that I was having my period, and your subordinates gave you so many sanitary pads. How can I forgive you so easily?


    Nian Juntings mouth twitched. How did you know that they got me the sanitary pads?


    I would have given them to you if I were you subordinate, too! Luosang was speechless.


    Nian Junting nodded. My Sangsang has both brawn and brains. No wonder youre the most perfectdy in my heart.

 Chapter 425. ave You Forgotten that Miss Nian Said You Should Talk Less?

    Chapter 425. ave You Forgotten that Miss Nian Said You Should Talk Less?


    Hokey. Luo Sang turned and walked out. She had goosebumps all over her body.


    Forty minutester, Nian Junting came out of the kitchen with a bowl of burned chicken soup and a potful of half-cooked rice.


    Even Yan Su couldnt bear watching this. Mr. Nian, youre not going to make us eat that, are you?


    Not you, all this is for my Luo. Nian Junting looked Luo Sang in the eyes lovingly and said, But this is all burned. I dont know what to do. However, Ive tried very hard. Look, my hands are burned. While speaking, he showed Luo Sang his red hands.


    Luo Sang was speechless. Nian Junting was trying to earn herpassion


    Lu Kang smiled and joined the conversation. Mr. Nian, dont worry. Miss Xu knew that you wouldnt be able to do it, so she asked me to order takeout.


    Good. I cant let my Luo be hungry. Nian Junting nodded.


    Before he continued talking, Lu Kang kicked him under the table and whispered, Mr. Nian, have you forgotten that Miss Nian said you should talk less?


    Nian Junting didnt understand. Why couldnt he talk? His voice sounded like a cello. However, he still decided to listen to Nian Xi for now.


    Soon after, the food was delivered. Nian Junting attentively put food onto Luo Sangs te without saying another word.


    After dinner, Luo Sang reviewed her lessons in her bedroom. Nian Junting continued working in the kitchen. Atst, he brought Luo Sang a bowl of lotus seed soup with white fungus. The lotus seeds werent fully cooked, but it was not uneptable. Luo Sang felt ttered.


    At ten oclock at night, Luo Sang went out to pour herself some water and saw that Nian Junting had quietly spread a nket out on the couch.


    Itste, go home. Dont sleep here. Luo Sang couldnt help but say to him, Su is here. Youre a man. Shell feel awkward if you sleep here.


    Youre bleeding. Its serious. Im worried about you. Nian Junting blinked and said, I know you wont let me in your room, so Ill sleep outside. I wont bother you.


    Was he trying to earnpassion again? Luo Sang felt very helpless. Its just my period, no big deal.


    Its a small thing for you, but its a big deal for me. Nian Juntingid down on the short couch.


    Alright, alright. You can go sleep in my room. Luo Sang couldnt bear watching this.


    Nian Junting curled his legs and said, No, I wont bother you.


    Whatever. Luo Sang poured herself a ss of water, then went back into her bedroom.


    Her period on the first day was extra heavy. When she got up the next morning, she found that her panties were stained with blood. She glumly put on a new pair. The dirty pair couldnt be washed immediately, so she soaked them in water. However, when she had finished breakfast, she found that Nian Junting was washing her dirty panties. Her brain was buzzing, as she felt that all her blood had gushed into her head.


    What are you doing!? She reached over the basin, her face scarlet. Who allowed you to wash this?


    Im helping you. Nian Junting didnt understand.


    Luo Sang was going to copse. Even though he had kissed her most private body area, she still couldnt let a man touch her underwear, especially her panties.


    Theyre dirty! she said.


    Yeah, thats why Im washing them, he replied.


    Its static blood. Luo Sang flushed with shame.


    Yeah, whats the difference between static blood and fresh blood? Nian Junting calmly leaned over the basin and continued washing the panties. Whats the big deal? When I was a soldier, I often got injured and bled. Its about the same.


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say. Watching Nian Junting washing her panties, she couldnt tell if she should feel more touched or embarrassed.

 Chapter 426. Are You Unable to Resist the Temptation of a Uniform?

    Chapter 426. Are You Unable to Resist the Temptation of a Uniform?


    After he was done, he hung the undergarment on the balcony to dry.


    When Luosang walked into themon area, Yan Su looked at her and said, I think I saw Mr. Nian washing your underwear and hanging it on the balcony?


    Luosang blushed and said, Dont mention it, Im embarrassed.


    Yan Sus half-chewed bread fell out of her mouth. Youre embarrassed by that? Gee.


    I stained it, Luosang said quietly.


    Enough, enough. Yan Su raised her hands in defeat. He doesnt even mind washing your dirty undergarments. Youre obviously just showing off your boyfriend.


    Luosang felt helpless.


    Yan Su said sadly, Why do I get the feeling that you guys are not having a fight but showing me a disy of your affection? Youve done it, I amparing my rtionship to yours now. My boyfriend has never washed my clothes for me before, dont even speak about dirtied undergarments. Sangsang, should I break up with my boyfriend?


    Luosang was shocked. She didnt expect Yan Su to be this affected. Dont. Youre in Xia City to chase after your dreams because of him, your dream of bing a singer.


    Yan Su sighed. Dont make things difficult for him any longer. I say just patch things up with him. So what if he has an ex-girlfriend? I dont think he ever washed her undergarments.


    Luosang was touched after thinking about what Yan Su said. She might not even wash his undergarments so willingly as he did. She didnt need to be so picky with him. As he said, his ex-girlfriend was a thing of the past.


    When Nian Junting emerged from the balcony, she looked at him gently. Eat some breakfast. You still need to get to work.


    Nian Junting was stunned. Luoluo, you arent mad at me anymore?


    Dont post random things on the inte anymore, Luosang said in a hushed voice. You have to filter what you want to say on social media.


    Youre forgiving me so easily? Nian Junting scratched his head in disbelief. Werent you going to take a drastic stance on this matter? I cant believe youre going to forgive me after one night, Nian Junting thought to himself. He had been prepared to fight long and hard to win her affection back.


    So, you think its too short? Luosang shot him a re.


    Nope, I know how much you love me. You cant bear to watch me suffer. Nian Junting gave her a wide smile. Nian Xi knows nothing, he thought.


    Luosang sighed. She could guess what he was thinking, but she couldnt be bothered to correct him. Oh right, I saw brother Xiaomenting on your post yesterday. He has reception there now?


    Yeah, he is on his way back. Hell probably arrive in another two to three days, Nian Junting replied as he ate his porridge. Ill go get him at the airport then and arrange for Ji Chuan to be admitted to the hospital. Ill be really busy then and might not be able toe to see you.


    Let me know when youre done, then Ill go visit him, too. Hes a good friend of yours after all, Luosang said. Im curious about him, too.


    What are you curious about? Nian Junting sounded displeased. I have everything that he has and much more. Are you unable to resist the temptation of a uniform? Ive worn the military uniform for you before, havent I?


    Pft, pft. Yan Su choked on the porridge she was eating. Im sorry, Im still sitting here, guys. Well, I guess I didnt expect you guys to be so wild in the bedroom. Role-ying, huh?


    Luosang felt knots in her stomach again. There was no way to get him to speak less.

 Chapter 427. Sangsang, How Can You Be So Softhearted?

    Chapter 427. Sangsang, How Can You Be So Softhearted?


    In the norming, Luo Sang got a call from Nian Xi. Sangsang, I heard that you forgave my brother? Nian Xi sounded a little unhappy.


    Eh Luo Sang felt guilty. Nian Xi was seriously on her side. She asked, Did your brother tell you?


    Yeah, and he was really proud. Nian Xi continued, He said that I was making a fuss, and that you didnt want him to suffer anything rough. He also said that all of my concern was for nothing.


    Luo Sang covered her stomach. She regretted forgiving him too soon. He had acted exactly as she thought he would.


    Nian Xi sighed and said, Sangsang, how can you be so softhearted? I told you to wait for a week. If you cant do that, you should at least make it three days. But you gave up after one single night. If my brother ever pisses you off again, Ill only say that you have no one to me but yourself.


    Luo Sang felt upset as well. A whileter, she said, Do you need sanitary napkins? Your brothers employees gave me so many of them, I think itll take more than ten years for me to use them all up. They are all the best from all over the world, so I dont want to waste them.


    Nian Xi stayed silent for a few seconds, then burst out inughter. Oh my, alright, you win. Forget it, as my future sister-inw, youre pretty miserable. I wont me you.


    Luo Sang gave a bitter smile and said, I heard from your brother that Ji Chuan ising back soon. Youre happy, arent you?


    I am! You need to meet my Ji Chuan when hes back. Youll see how handsome he is, and then youll understand that my brother is really not so good. Dont treat him like a treasure.


    Luo Sang didnt know how to respond.


    At noon, Luo Sang got an unexpected call while having lunch. It was from Ji Nuanyi, whom she had met briefly in Shanghai.


    Sangsang, are you in Xia City?


    Yeah. Luo Sang jokingly reminded her, Last time, you said that you wanted me to do voice acting for you. Ive been expecting you.


    Ive been working abroad the past few days and just got back. And, ourpany has been purchased by Shengting, so things have been shaken up recently. I finally have a new manager. Currently, my new team and I are learning how to get along well with each other. Everything is finally on the right track, so I contacted you the first time I had a chance. Ji Nuanyiughed and said, Your winter vacation will start in a week. By then, you should fly to ourpany to sign the contract.


    Are you sure? Luo Sang was both shocked and surprised. But soon, she became unsure, Is yourpany still in An City?


    Yeah, Ji Nuanyi understood her feelings. You need toe back sooner orter, dont you? I dont have a lot of time in An City. Its the end of the year, and Im rather busy. So, we should sign that contract, the sooner the better. Youll be just in time for the voice acting on my new TV series.


    Alright, Im going back to visit my father in prison, anyway, said Luo Sang.


    Ill see you then.


    Before bed that night, Luo Sang told Nian Junting about Ji Nuanyis call.


    Youre going to An City? Nian Junting asked with a frown, Cant you postpone it for a few days? Ji Chuan has juste back, and my work in thepany isnt finished yet. I might not have the time to go with you now.


    Its okay. Ill only stay there for two days. Luo Sang smiled and said, That ce I dont want to stay there for long, anyway.


    You shouldnt, Nian Junting agreed. That ce was full of her memories with Yi Jingxi. After saying that, Nian Junting turned around and rubbed Luo Sangs neck with his head while saying, Luo, your period When will it end? Ive been holding something back for days, and Im really suffering now.


    Luo Sang blushed. Didnt you say that I shouldnt get tired these days? It may take three or four days for it to endpletely.


    So long? Nian Junting asked. He then opened an app on his phone and started doing something with it.

 Chapter 428. Xiao Si Told Me that You Found a Girlfriend, I Guess Its True

    Chapter 428. Xiao Si Told Me that You Found a Girlfriend, I Guess It''s True


    Luosang peeped over curiously. She was shocked to see a menstrual counter application on his phone. What are you doing with that app? How do you even know about the app? Luosang asked in bewilderment.


    For you! I heard about it from my secretary. Nian Junting started recording her information in the application.


    Luosang was touched. She didnt expect him to be this meticulous. Before she could reach out to hug him from behind, he said, Technology is really advanced now. I can predict your next period urately with this application. Ill schedule our seaside vacation ordingly.


    Luosang froze.


    Nian Junting continued, Since were going to have a passionate night together, we should avoid those days, shouldnt we?


    Luosang lowered her arms quietly. She turned her back towards him. She had overestimated him.


    The next morning, Luosang was awakened by the sound of Nian Junting talking on the phone. Alright, no need to be anxious. Hes only arriving at eleven oclock There wont be traffic


    Nian Xi? Luosang asked as she rubbed her eyes.


    After he hung up, he turned to look and her. You want to go with me?


    Luosang was stunned. Sheughed. Arent you afraid that Ill be captivated by his uniform?


    Nope. Nian Junting shook his head. He cant even stand. Hell be looking ill in a wheelchair.


    Luosang was speechless. He was vicious with his words. Alright, Ill go with you. I only have one ss today, anyway.


    After ss, Nian Junting headed over to pick Nian Xi up before going to the airport. Nian Xi had put on some light makeup. She looked more alluring than usual, different from the severe impression that she usually gave.


    After five minutes, Xiao Si and Mr. Feng emerged from the immigration checkpoint with a man in a wheelchair. It was the first time Luosang had seen him in real life, and he looked even more handsome than in his photos. However, he also looked tired and weary, and hisplexion was pale. His eyes, however, were still lively and bright.


    Ji Chuan. Nian Xi rushed forward to hug him.


    Xiao Xi. Feng Ji Chuan gave her a light smile and patted her head wearily. Your hair has grown so long.


    Didnt you promise to marry me once my hair grew out? Nian Xi pouted and hugged him even tighter. She only released him when she felt him wince under her tight embrace.


    Alright, stop hugging him. Hes got wounds on his chest. Nian Junting led Luosang towards them and pulled Nian Xi away.


    This is Feng Ji Chuan was a little stunned when he saw Luosang. On our way back, Xiao Si told me that you had found a girlfriend, I guess its true.


    This is Xu Luosang, Luosang, this is Feng Ji Chuan. Ive told you before that Xiaosi was a gift from him. Nian Junting introduced the two.


    Hello. Luosang smiled at him.


    Feng Ji Chuan smiled politely at her as he tugged Nian Xis hand. Lets go to the hospital. Im tired after being on the road for so many days.


    Alright, lets go. Nian Xi pushed his wheelchair towards the exit.


    A few people followed them. They were split into two vehicles on their way to the hospital. Luosang was with Nian Junting. After about half an hour on the road, Luosang suddenly asked, Why do I get the feeling that your friend isnt really warming up to me?


    Nian Junting nced at her. Itd be troublesome if he liked you. You are my girlfriend, after all.


    Luosang choked. Im not referring to that!

 Chapter 429. Let Me Introduce Your Future Daughter-in-Law to You

    Chapter 429. Let Me Introduce Your Future Daughter-in-Law to You


    What kind of like were you talking about? The kind between friends? Nian Junting said ndly, Youre not friends, so he surely cant like you. Dont think too much. You only need to like me.


    Luo Sang found that she wasnt able tomunicate with Nian Junting about feelings. However, she thought carefully and felt that he was probably right. It was the first time Feng Ji Chuan had met her, and he knew nothing about her. So indeed, he didnt have a reason to like her. She didnt like him, either. She was just curious about him because of Nian Xi. Thinking this way, she stopped struggling over this question.


    As they arrived at the military region hospital, Mrs. Feng was there, too. She had a weird look on her face uopn seeing Luo Sang. Right at that moment, a doctor called Feng Ji Chuans family and said, The medical facilities where Ji Chuan came from arent good enough, and with the long travel time, his wounds are getting pretty serious. He had better stay in the hospital for a week.


    Aunty, Ill look after Ji Chuan. Ive already asked for time off, Nian Xi offered.


    Mrs. Feng smiled. However, before she could answer, Feng Ji Chuan said in a soft voice, My mother has hired a carer for me. You dont need to be here at night. You cane here in daytime.


    But Nian Xi pouted.


    You, Mrs. Feng nced at Ji Chaun and said discontentedly, Youre rarely back. Nian Xi just wants to seize the time to be with you. Shell keep youpany.


    The hospital is dirty, and she cant sleep well here. Feng Ji Chuan frowned helplessly.


    Alright, in that case, lets do what Ji Chuan said, Nian Junting said to Nian Xi, Youll sleep at home.


    Nian Xi gave him a threatening nce. At that moment, someone knocked on the door to the ward. Everyone turned to look at the door and saw Nian Qingyun and his chauffeur walking in, carrying a bunch of fruit and nutritional supplements.


    Ji Chuan, are you feeling better? asked Nian Qingyun. Im here to see you.


    Uncle, I just got here, and youre already showing up. Youre really efficient, Feng Ji Chuan said jokingly.


    Nian Qingyunughed and said, Haha, I have to. Youre my future son-inw. However, the grin on his face froze when he saw Luo Sang, who was standing beside Nian Junting.


    Mr. Nian. Luo Sang didnt like him, as she had heard his story. However, he was Nian Juntings father, after all, so she greeted him politely.


    Nian Qingyun didnt look at Luo Sang, but turned to his son with a dark face and said, Isnt this your gossip girlfriend that everyone talked about earlier? Didnt you break up?


    We broke up for a couple of days, now were back together. Nian Junting held Luo Sangs hand and said, Let me introduce your future daughter-inw to you.


    You Nian Qingyuns face twisted slightly. However, he controlled himself, as many people were on the scene. Remembering his important purpose, he didnt lose his temper but turned to Mr. Feng, smiled, and asked, Feng, at this age, hows your journey to the China-India border?


    It was too much to take. Mr. Feng waved his hands andughed. Thankfully, Junting and Si were with me. As were all here now, I want to talk about the wedding. Ji Chuan and Nian Xi have been engaged for years. As Ji Chuan is taking injury leave this time, I think they should hold a wedding at New Years. We dont want any further dy.


    Were thinking the same thing. Nian Qingyun looked delighted. There are quite a few lucky dates after New Years. I think Ji Chuan shouldnt always be a soldier away from home. Next year, Ill find a way to transfer him back to Xia City.


    Uncle Nian, Dad, I want to stay in the army, Feng Ji Chuan said abruptly. The ward fell into silence. Nian Xi stared at him, confused.

 Chapter 430. Dont You Love Me Anymore?

    Chapter 430. Don''t You Love Me Anymore?


    Id be honored to stay in my position, Feng Ji Chuan said with pride. Aunty Feng immediately smacked the back of his head.


    You may be honored, but have you considered your fathers and my feelings? Were constantly living in fear and worry. I nearly fainted when I heard that you were shot this time around. Have you thought about Nian Xi, to whom youre promised? Shes a policewoman now solely because of you. How can you tell us that you still want to stay in the troops? Ill have to teach you a lesson on her behalf.


    Uncle Feng was furious, too. Transfer, you have to transfer back. Youre not my son if you dont do the transfer.


    Dad, didnt you tell me from the time I was young that I must be prepared to sacrifice myself for our country when I entered the army? Feng Ji Chuan frowned.


    Before Uncle Feng could reply, Nian Xi croaked, You dont have to contribute to our country in his manner. I am a policewoman, and Im serving our citizens all the same. Even if you dont transfer back home, you can stay in the Xia City military camp and train other soldiers. Ji Chuan, dont you love me anymore?


    Feng Ji Chuan was shocked. He raised his head and saw her eyes turn red. His heart ached when he saw the sadness in her eyes. Of course not. Xiao Xi, dont read too much into this.


    You can tell me if you dont love me anymore, its ok. Im not the kind to pester you incessantly. Nian Xi shrugged. Ive done my best to respect your decisions and adhere to what we agreed upon at the beginning. Ive waited for you patiently for so many years only to have you tell me that you want to continue your stay there. How can you expect me to sacrifice each time? If you had told me right from the start that you never wanted toe back, I might not have spent my days waiting for your return with anticipation. I dont think you even want to marry me anymore after hearing all of this. She turned and left after speaking her mind.


    Nian Qingyun had calmed down. Feng, you should speak with your son. Nian Xi wasnt wrong in saying all that. Its ok if he doesnt want to go through with the marriage anymore. We can call off the engagement. I just dont want to waste any more of my daughters time. I admit that Ji Chuan is an outstanding young man, but there are plenty of other impressive suitors out there. Truthfully, I am very disappointed in you, Ji Chuan. Youre being very selfish here. He turned to leave when he finished but stopped at the door and looked at Nian Junting. Youe out here, too.


    Nian Junting frowned and led Luosang out of the room. Nian Qingyun looked at Luosang with a cold expression. Dont tell me youre really marrying this woman. Im ok with you dating her, but marriage is out of the question.


    Luosang frowned. She couldnt believe all the obstacles ced in front of her just to be with the man she loved.


    What position are you in to tell me this? Nian Junting asked calmly.


    Im telling you this as your father, of course. Nian Qingyun was outraged by his sons impudence.


    You dont have the right to tell me this. Dont forget what youve done. I cant believe youre telling me this without any sense of embarrassment. Nian Junting smirked. If I were to listen to you, I guess should also go sleep around with my best friends wife.


    You Nian Qingyun nced over at Luosang. His face was red with both anger and embarrassment.


    I might listen to my mother if she came over to talk to me, but Ill never pay any attention to what you say, Nian Junting said coolly. Im only acknowledging you because of grandpa and grandma, so dont tter yourself too much. Mother has already approved of Luosang, so did maternal grandma and grandpa. Dont stir up any more trouble.


    Isnt your mother being ridiculous?


    I think that she has always been ridiculous. After all, she did marry you in the first ce. The wisest thing she did in her life was give birth to me. Nian Junting smirked again and walked off with Luosang.

 Chapter 431. So Thats What, “Love Me, Love My Dog” Means

    Chapter 431. So That''s What, ��Love Me, Love My Dog�� Means


    Luo Sang turned around and found that Nian Qingyun was so angry, he even seemed to have had a heart attack. She felt that Nian Qingyun had been terribly weak in front of Nian Junting, and that thetter had defeated him effortlessly. However, she was still ufortable.


    Junting, what if your grandparents on your fathers side dont want us to be together, either? She felt that her heart was tired.


    We can act first and report afterward. Nian Junting thought for a moment and then said, Ill be 30 next year. Being a dad would be nice. If we start trying this year, will we have a chubby boy next fall? Ah, what year is next ording to the Chinese Zodiac[1]?


    The corners of Luo Sangs mouth twitched slightly, as she felt that Nian Junting was thinking too far ahead. I havent even finished college yet, she said. And I need to take an internship.


    Youre right. Nian Junting nced at her with regret and said, Then well wait for two more years. Thats not bad though, as we can have some passionate days. You see, youve been living an asexual life for over 20 years, and me for about 30 years. So once we start, we must do it frequently to nourish our bodies.


    Under his gaze, Luo Sang felt that her entire body was going to burst into mes. She hurriedly changed the topic. I think Nian Xi isnt feeling so good. I should go find her.


    Hearing her mention that, Nian Junting wore a sullen look. I didnt think that Ji Chuan would say it out loud just now. Im very disappointed in him. But, its almost one, so lets have some lunch.


    Luo Sang contacted Nian Xi while having lunch. Learning that thetter had gone home, she ordered some food for takeout.


    Nian Junting drove her to Nian Xis ce. Seeing Luo Sang carrying the takeout, he smiled and said, You, as her future sister-inw, are getting nicer and nicer. Luo, youve done so much for me, and Ill remember it all.


    Luo Sang blushed and said, Im not doing it for you. I do like Nian Xi.


    So thats what, love me, love my dog means. Nian Junting nodded.


    Luo Sang waved at him, then went upstairs, as she felt that she wasnt able tomunicate with Nian Junting at the moment.


    Nian Xi lived alone in a three-bedroom apartment. When Nian Xi opened the door, Luo Sang could see that her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were red. Obviously, she had been crying.


    Luo Sang walked in and said, Have some lunch. The apartment was a little messy and seemed to have not been cleaned in a long time. Bowls of instant noodles were thrown in the trash, and all sorts of snacks were scattered on the couch.


    I have no appetite. Nian Xi waved her hands, then threw herself onto the couch, picking up the snacks to ease her sadness.


    Luo Sang was a little speechless. You have no appetite, yet youre eating so many snacks, she thought.


    At that moment, Nian Xis phone rang. The screen showed Ji Chuans name. As Nian Xi was gazing at the phones screen, Luo Sang reached out and refused the call.


    Sangsang


    Dont answer it. Luo Sang sat beside her and said, If you ask me, Id say that you care too much about him. I dont know about your stories, but I think if he wants to stay in the army, he should have been frank with you and told you about it earlier. He should ask you if youre willing to ept a long-distance marriage with him. Many army wives are only able to see their husbands a few times a year, but their marriages work. However, he never had a conversation with you about it or asked for your opinion, even though youre his fiancee.


    Yeah, Ive gotten through all these years. In fact, as long as he still loves me, Ill ept a long-distance marriage. What made me sad is that he never really thinks about my position. Nian Xi gave a bitter smile and said, Do you think that he doesnt care so much about me anymore, because weve been parted for too long?


    Luo Sang didnt know how to respond.


    But, Nian Xi continued, How can he not care about me? Im excellent. Im so pretty, so smart, and my family is so rich.


    Luo Sang still didnt know what to say. Nian Xis words sounded so familiar to her.


    [1] The Chinese zodiac is a ssification system that assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a repeating 12-year cycle.

 Chapter 432. Sangsang, Come Down Quickly, My Brother Is Here

    Chapter 432. Sangsang, Come Down Quickly, My Brother Is Here


    Dont be sad anymore. He mighte to look for you. Luosang thought about it further and continued, Even if he doesnt, it might not be a bad thing. If hes waiting for you topromise, then I dont think hes the right one for you. To be honest, youve sacrificed so much for him. I dont think you should be the one sacrificing for the rest of your life.


    Nian Xi fell silent.


    Luosang stood up and said, Alright, lets not mope around at home, lets go out and grab something to eat and drink!


    Alright, Nian Xi agreed reluctantly.


    The two of them walked around the main streets the entire afternoon, and they entered a barbeque shop at around five oclock for dinner. Before they could start on their dinner, Nian Junting called Luosang. Where are you girls?


    Im having dinner at a barbeque restaurant with Nian Xi. Luosang was still fumbling with the grill with her free hand. It smells pretty good so far.


    Are you back at the same restaurant? You do know that they are only certified B for their hygiene, dont you? Nian Junting said with disgust.


    Mind your own business. Im not asking you to eat here with me, Im enjoying the food here without you, Luosang said grumpily.


    Head home early after this. Im out for a business gathering, but Ille over when Im done, Nian Junting said.


    Hmm, but I promised Nian Xi that wed go to the bar after this.


    Why are you going to the bar when you are on your period? Nian Junting chided her lightly.


    I wont be drinking. I just wanted to keep herpany since shes not in a great mood. Shell probably let her thoughts run wild if she stays at home by herself. You should empathize with her as her brother, Luosang whispered.


    Why is she making a big deal out of this breakup? Nian Junting asked coldly.


    Oh really? Do you want to try breaking up? Luosang threatened.


    Alright, you go ahead. Its quite heartbreaking when you get out of a rtionship, Nian Junting said.


    After dinner, Nian Xi and Luosang headed straight to the bar. Luosang wasnt nning on drinking, but Nian Xi pleaded for her to drink. She said that it wasnt any fun for her to drink by herself.


    Xixi, its not a good idea for both of us to be drunk at the bar.


    Dont worry, I know people around here. Im always on patrol in this district anyway, no one will dare to do anything to us. Nian Xi started pouring her a drink.


    After a couple of cocktails, Luosang felt dizzy, but because of Nian Xis reassurances, she decided to let herself go and picked up a couple more drinks. After half an hour, Nian Xi was shocked as she watched Luosang dance crazily in the center of the dance floor. Was this the same demure, proper girl that she knew?


    At that moment, Nian Junting called her. Which bar are you guys at? Why isnt Sangsang picking up? Iming to get you guys.


    Um well


    Speak, Nian Junting said harshly as he sensed her trepidation.


    Actually, Sangsang is drunk, Nian Xi said truthfully.


    How long have you guys been there? Drunk already? Isnt she on her period? Does she want to lose all of her blood? Nian Junting said, annoyed. He wanted to knock some sense into Luosang. Put her on the line.


    Shes drunk she wont be able to take the phone, Nian Xi stuttered over the phone.


    What? Iming over immediately.


    Nian Xi knew how easily her brother got jealous over things, so she rushed forward and grabbed Luosang by her arm. Sangsang,e down quickly. My brother is here.


    Your brother? Im not afraid of him! Luosang flung her arms about and yelled over the deafening music, Ive had enough of him. He doesnt even let mee into any contact with males. Im going to enjoy myself tonight!

 Chapter 433. It Was Really Easy for Sangsang to Lose Control after Getting Drunk

    Chapter 433. It Was Really Easy for Sangsang to Lose Control after Getting Drunk


    Nian Xi got nervous for her. If you donte down, my brother will punish me, she said.


    Dont be afraid. Ill protect you. Ill punish him for you. Tonight, Ill let him know whos the boss! Luo Sang pushed her away and continued dancing. She even took down her hair and undid the buttons near her cor bones, making herself look young and hot. The men around her all turned to her with glowing eyes.


    Nian Xi believed that her brother would even want to kill her if he came here and saw this, so she hurriedly took out her police ID and said, I am a police officer. If you get close to my sister-inw, Ill sue you for harassing her, and Ill arrest you!


    Psycho, the group of menined. However, the smart ones did keep a distance from Luo Sang.


    When Nian Junting arrived, he saw his girlfriend dancing excitedly on the stage like an evil fairy. A group of men was dancing around her. They werent touching her, but they had all cast their burning eyes on her.


    Nian Xi sat aside, upset, holding Luo Sangs coat. She saw her brother, and his cold face made her shiver. Brother


    Ill make you payter. Nian Junting raced onto the stage and grabbed Luo Sangs hand to drag her down.


    Luo Sang suddenly grabbed a man near her and screamed, Help! Hes harassing me!


    Im her boyfriend! Nian Junting was so angry that his eyes even turned red, as Luo Sang actually dared to grab another man in front of him. He pulled her hand away from the man, then carried her on his shoulder and quickly left.


    Nian Xi hurriedly followed behind him. She saw that Luo Sang was kicking and hitting Nian Junting, but he refused to let her go. She even started pulling his hair.


    Watching that, Nian Xi couldnt stop gasping. It was really easy for Sangsang to lose control after getting drunk. If she had known that, she wouldnt have brought her there.


    Nian Junting felt her pulling out his hair. With some solid effort, he finally put her into the car. However, she immediately struggled, stared at him, and yelled while burping, I I have a boyfriend! What do you want to do to me, you ugly man.


    Open your eyes and see who I am. Am I ugly? I have such a handsome face, yet you called it ugly. Youre really drunk. Nian Junting buckled her up, then turned back to ask Nian Xi angrily, How much did she drink to get so drunk?


    Five cocktails. Nian Xi blinked and said, I really didnt know that she could get drunk so easily.


    Get into the car and keep an eye on her, Nian Junting said to Nian Xi, then quickly started the car and drove toward Tianhu Vi.


    In the backseat, Luo Sang stuck her head between the front seats like a child, then began singing, Happy break-up, happy break-up, youll find a better one


    Shut up. Cant you sing a better song? Nian Juntings heart even twitched.


    Luo Sang curved her lips downward, then began singing, Freedom, when you wipe your tears and chose a new direction, the world is vast


    Stop singing, Nian Junting growled at her. He was fond of her singing but not these kinds of songs.


    The drunk Luo Sang threw a threatening nce at him, then turned around and continued singing, Break ups should be decent, but no one says sorry


    Nian Junting couldnt think of a word to say.


    Nian Xi nced at her brother and said, Brother, how much does my future sister-inw want to break up with you?


    Shut up. Nian Junting now even wanted to beat his girlfriend to death.


    The other girls would flirt with their boyfriends in all sorts of passionate and jazzy ways when they were drunk, but she was so different. She didnt even kiss him, and she had pulled his hair so hard.

 Chapter 434. I Didnt Know You Were So Liberal, Brother

    Chapter 434. I Didn''t Know You Were So Liberal, Brother


    They finally got back to Tianhu Vi. The moment Nian Xi opened the car door, Xiaosi came running towards them, barking happily. Nian Xi was going to pet him on his head when Luosang burst out and swept Xiaosi up.


    She said, Junting, arent you staying outte for a business dinner? What are you doing home so early?


    Sister Lan walked out and witnessed the scene in disbelief. Nian Xi was clutching her stomach as she burst outughing. She felt her day brighten up almost immediately.


    Nian Junting helped Luosang up grumpily. Look at it properly. I am Nian Junting, thats just the dog.


    Nonsense, you are the dog. Dont try to take advantage of me just because I had a couple of drinks. I am extremely sober. Luosang held onto Xiaosi tightly and pouted. Junting, why do you have so much hair? Its only been a couple of hours since Ist saw you, but you do have very soft fur, dont you?


    Haha! Nian Xi was almost rolling on the ground.


    Luosang was running her hands through the dogs fur and continued through half-shut eyelids, Oh right, did you tell me that your balls ached? Let me have a feel, my little Junting, I havent felt it in a while


    Oh my god, I cant Nian Xi was now wheezing. I didnt know you were so liberal, brother, blue balls and all.


    Nian Junting couldnt help but blush even with his thick skin. He couldnt let her bber on further. He reached forward and forcefully separated Xiaosi from Luosang.


    Let go of me, my Junting has sore balls! Luosang stomped her feet.


    Nian Junting was on the verge of strangling her. She was acting theplete opposite of her usual self. Everyone was watching themSister Lan, Butler Wu, and Nian Xi.


    After getting her upstairs, she was finally worn out. She copsed on the bed, fast asleep. Nian Junting hesitated before bending down and saying to her, Luoluo, you said you wanted to touch my little Junting just now. Its just us now, you can go ahead.


    Ugh Xiaosi, dont bother me. Luosang covered her head with the duvet.


    Xiaosi? Did she just call me Xiaosi? Nian Juntings face was dark, and he shook her arms violently. Can Xiaosi speak?


    Luosangs eyes were glued shut, and she wouldnt wake.


    Nian Junting finally gave up. He went on to remove her shoes defeatedly.


    The next morning, Luosang woke up with a throbbing headache. When she finally sat upright, she realized that she was sleeping in Tianhu Vi, and Nian Junting was lying beside her with his arms around her waist.


    She was stunned. She only remembered being at the bar with Nian Xi. She looked down to see herself in a fresh set of clothes. Even her underwear had been changed and she had a new sanitary pad on. She blushed. Had he changed herst night?


    Youre awake? Nian Juntings eyes fluttered open and watched her intently.


    Last night how did I get here? Luosang hedged her question. You bathed me?


    Of course I was the one who brought you back. Nian Junting looked at her with his poker face. Who else are you expecting to bathe you?


    Luosang was about to break down. She couldnt believe that he had bathed her while she was on her period. Sheid back down and covered her face with the duvet in embarrassment.


    Get up. Do you know what you didst night? Nian Junting pulled the sheets off of her. You were grinding with a bunch of strangers on the dance floor. You even sang the breakup song to me. What do you think youre doing?

 Chapter 435. Come On, Kiss Me

    Chapter 435. Come On, Kiss Me


    How can that be possible? I rarely go to bars. And why would I sing Happy Break Up? Luo Sang shook her head, confused.


    I am asking the questions now. Nian Juntings handsome face wore an unhappy expression as he red at her. You sang many songs about breaking up. I only know the name of one of them. Its, Happy Break Up. Dont deny it. Go and ask Nian Xi if you dont believe me.


    Luo Sang rubbed the back of her neck, wondering if she had really done all those things. She had never gotten so drunk before, so she didnt know what she would do after getting drunk. She couldnt remember what had happenedst night.


    Its said that people will speak out some of their real thoughts when theyre drunk. Are you tired of me? Do you want to break up with me? Nian Junting growled in a deep voice, displeased. Youd better give me a perfect reason.


    I I like singing breakup songs. Do you have a problem with it? Being yelled at by him so early in the morning, Luo Sang started feeling ufortable, so she yelled back at him, What if I cant give you a perfect reason? Are you gonna break up with me? Come on try


    Before she could finish, Nian Junting threw her onto the bed and pressed his thin lips violently against hers. Youre not allowed to break up with me, he said in a deep, dry voice. I dont want to hear any breakup songs ever again. His dark eyes sparkled with fear.


    Luo Sangs heart shivered slightly. She suddenly remembered thatst night, he had cleaned her when she was so drunk, despite the fact that she was pretty dirty. She guessed that the other men wouldnt be willing to do that for a girl, no matter how much they liked her. Thinking of that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.


    Nian Junting paused briefly, then held her and turned over, making hery on top of him. He opened his lips slightly, his eyes glowing brightly. Come on, kiss me, he said.


    Seeing the impatient man lying beneath her, Luo Sang felt that being with him was sometimes a bit like masochism. Why am I on top? she asked.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment and then replied, So youll seem to be very into me.


    With no other choice, Luo Sang slowly kissed him under his eager gaze. Then, Nian Junting immediately contained her lips in his mouth.


    Luo Sang tried to support her bodys weight at first, but as he kissed her, her limbs went soft, and she eventually threw her weightpletely onto him.


    The kisssted for quite a while, then Nian Junting abruptly grabbed Luo Sangs hand and put it downward. Luo Sang shivered as she blushed and bit his lip. She mumbled, What are you doing?


    Sangsang, you said that youd touch my little brotherst night, but you havent yet. You need to be responsible for your words, Nian Junting said seriously.


    Luo Sang felt extremely embarrassed. How could I possibly have said that?


    You actually did. Im not lying. Nian Junting stared at her, his eyes showing an honest look.


    As he stared at her, Luo Sang wanted to hide under the bed. How many more things did I dost night?


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a moment, then decided not to tell her that she had talked about his aching balls right in front of Nian Xi. He didnt want her to be too embarrassed to go downstairs today. Nothing more. Hurry up,fort my little brother.


    Half an hourter, a well-dressed, refreshed Nian Junting and a blushing Luo Sang went downstairs. Nian Xi was in the dining room, preparing to have breakfast. She threw a meaningful nce at the two of them and said, Brother, Sangsang, youre up so early.


    I have ss, Luo Sang said and sat down, feeling a little awkward. Xi,st night


    Sangsang, I wont take you to bars anymore. Its too easy for you to lose control after getting drunk. Receiving a threatening nce from her brother, Nian Xi hurriedly added, But youre good at singing.

 Chapter 436. I Bet the Eggs Hurt

    Chapter 436. I Bet the Eggs Hurt


    Dont talk about singing. Eat your breakfast. Nian Junting red at her.


    Nian Xi wiggled her brows and drank some milk. She suddenly picked up a te and said, There are eggs here.


    Luosang was baffled. She could tell that they were eggs. Nian Xi was looking at her suggestively. Nian Xi continued by cing an egg on the table and cracked it with her silver spoon. Look, the egg is broken.


    Yeah, broken, you can eat it now, Luosang said.


    Nian Junting had a bad feeling in his tummy.


    I bet the eggs hurt. Nian Xi picked up the egg and started peeling the eggshell slowly.


    Nian Junting mped his legs tightly together without realizing it. His face was dark. What was that little brat hinting at?


    Luosang was stunned. Suddenly, she remembered what had happened the night before, and she couldnt help but blush. However, she continued having her breakfast as if nothing had happened. She was eating when she felt like something was amiss. Nian Xi was definitely acting strange. She looked over at Nian Junting, and he had a funny expression, too. She asked, Did I do something elsest night?


    Nian Xi snickered. Sangsang was as sensitive as usual.


    Nothing. Nian Junting shot Nian Xi a re. Eat your d*mn egg. You look like youre high-spirited today. Have you heard anything from Ji Chuan?


    A real brother, indeed. Nian Xi grinned at him. I ignored him the whole ofst night, and he texted me this morning to tell me that we can start preparing for our wedding after the lunar new year. If I strongly object to him staying in the camp, he willpromise.


    Nian Juntings expression softened. He should have said so from the beginning. Well then, the two families should meet to talk about the wedding soon. It might be difficult to get a booking at the hotels at the beginning of the year.


    Nian Xi nodded. Sangsang, you shoulde along and pick my wedding essories and my wedding dress with me.


    Shes not free. Shes going to Australia with me on vacation.


    Luosang was stunned. I thought we were going after the Lunar New Year?


    Since shes marrying after the Lunar New Year, we should go before then. Thank goodness I havent booked anything yet.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Must you arrange a vacation then?


    Of course. Nian Junting looked at her coldly. How could he not be anxious about his first time?


    Luosang acted like she was clueless and asked him innocently, Which part of Australia are we going to? Why didnt you tell me about it earlier?


    I just decided on the location recently. Nian Junting grinned. Lets go to the Whitsundays Inds. I heard that the view there is superb, especially the aerial view. Its too clich to go to Bali or the Maldives nowadays. We can go diving, parasailing, surfing, and skydiving over there.


    Luosangs legs trembled when she heard him. Except for diving, she was terrified of the idea of doing everything else. She wasnt even thatfortable with water activities.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but interject, Brother, I dont think these activities are suitable for girls.


    I know, but Luosang is no ordinary girl, Nian Junting said proudly.


    Luosang was frustrated. Im sorry, but I am just an ordinary girl. Im not suited for these activities. I just want to sunbathe peacefully over there.


    Nian Junting looked at her with disgust, but he finally conceded. Fine, but you must wear bikinis then.

 Chapter 437. He Wont Lose His Temper If I Buy Another Man a Pair of Uggs, Will He?

    Chapter 437. He Won''t Lose His Temper If I Buy Another Man a Pair of Uggs, Will He?


    Pah! Nian Xi spit out the milk in her mouth. Good God, her brother was too straightforward.


    Luo Sang silently lowered her head, hid her eyes under her bangs, and pretended not to have heard it.


    But I really want to go with you. I havent had a vacation abroad for a long time. Nian Xi sighed, Why dont we go together after I marry Ji Chuan?


    Can he travel abroad? Nian Junting asked.


    Nian Xi immediately looked disappointed. He was right, though. It could be really, really difficult for a soldier to go abroad.


    If you want to travel with Ji Chuan, you can only travel within the country for the rest of your life. Dont even think about impossible things. Nian Junting suddenly felt extra lucky that he hadnt stayed in the army. He was really looking forward to the journey. The more he thought about it, the more excited he was. He even ate faster. Im done. Im leaving for thepany, he said.


    Luo Sang paused. So soon?


    Nian Junting raised his brows and said excitedly, Yeah, I want to finish my work as soon as possible. Hopefully, our vacation will start right after youre back from An City.


    Luo Sang didnt respond. Winter break wasing. All the students had started packing their bags, preparing to go home for New Years. When Luo Sang and Yan Su had left school the day before winter vacation, Chi Chengxu was there, too. Luo,e visit my family during winter vacation. My mom says that youre so ungrateful, you never visited her after leaving with Nian Junting.


    Luo Sang was a little embarrassed. Feng Ge had invited her a few times, but Nian Junting had been keeping her on a tight leash. Even though he needed to work every day, he kept track of her whereabouts 24/7 via phone. Ive been busy with ssestely. Please tell my godmother that Ill definitely visit her, but at the beginning of this year, Im going on vacation to Australia with Nian Junting.


    Alright. Chi Shengxu curved his lips downwards in slight disappointment and then said, Remember to bring me a gift, then.


    Sure, what kind of gift do you want?


    I heard that Uggs arent bad. Bring me a pair.


    You got it.


    And, Im going to sing a song at the CCTV New Years G this year, so dont forget to watch it. Chi Shengxu winked at Luo Sang, then got in the van that was there to pick him up.


    As the van drove away, Yan Su said, Are you sure that youll buy another man a pair of Uggs when youre on a vacation with Mr. Nian? Wont he lose his temper?


    Yan Sus question made Luo Sang realize how serious this was. How could she possibly forget about that? But Ive already promised him. How bout this, Ill tell him that its for your boyfriend, said Luo Sang.


    I think hes unreasonable enough to forbid you from buying any man anything, unless that man is your dad. Am I right? said Yan Su.


    Is that so bad? Luo Sang clicked her tongue.


    What do you think? Yan Su threw the question back to her.


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say. Having a jealous boyfriend could be troublesome.


    Xu Luo Sang, Yan Su At that moment, a Maserati stopped before the two of them. The cars backseat window dropped, exposing Ye Chuens sour face. Kang Ying was sitting next to her.


    Xu Luo Sang, dont be too proud. I failed to take you downst time because Junting is still interested in you. but Im telling you that youll soon be out of the game. Ye Chuen sneered.


    Luo Sang didnt want to talk to her at all, but Yan Su couldnt bear listening to her. What are you nning now? Stop bothering her like a crazy dog, said Yan Su.


    I think youre more like a dog. All you can do is follow behind Xu Luo Sang and bark. Lets see how long you can bark. Ye Chuen snorted, then turned to Luo Sang and said, Juntings childhood sweetheart ising back. Shes way better than you. Youll be crying.


    So thats what youre talking about. I knew about her long ago, Luo Sang responded ndly.

 Chapter 438. Ill Capture Both His Body and Heart

    Chapter 438. I''ll Capture Both His Body and Heart


    You probably dont know how much Junting loved her. Kang Ying smiled and said, If his mother hadnt pleaded with him so desperately, he would have never left that woman.


    Luosang hesitated for a moment and retorted, Aunty Kang, Ive always been baffled by your actions. Ive never had any designs on your money, and Ive never caused any harm to your family, but you always pit yourself against whatever I do. You guys started picking on me first, and youre always looking for trouble. I think you should take care of your own business, especially after what you did with Yi Jingxi. Youve caused such tremendous losses to the Murong family, do you think your rtionship with them is still intact? I dont need to tell you about your status in the Zhongzhou Group now, do I?


    Kang Ying and Ye Chuens faces turned green. In the drivers seat, Ye Dongwei looked glum as well.


    We are family, these are temporary situations. After we celebrate the new year together, things will be back to how they were. Every family has its own problems and feuds, but no matter what, we will still support and look out for each other, Kang Ying said sternly.


    Oh really? Im very much looking forward to how you are going to look out for each other. I forgot to mention that Aunty Murong has epted me already. Even if his ex-girlfriend reappears, I dont think Aunty Murong will approve of her. Dont worry, Ill let her know about what you guys told me as well. Ill make sure she knows about how excited and supportive you guys are of Nian Juntings ex-girlfriend, Luosang chuckled lightly and dragged Yan Su away.


    Kang Ying looked panicky. She knew about what had happened then and remembered how the entire Murong family was repelled by the incident. If Luosang really told them about what she said, they would surely take offense against her.


    You two should really stop. Isnt it bad enough that my position in Zhongzhou is so awkward now? Ye Dongwei red at the two of them in the passenger seat. He got out of the car to chase after Luosang. Luosang, Aunty and Chuen are unreasonable people. I apologize on their behalf. Theyve been too mean to you.


    Uncle, why didnt you stop them earlier, since youre so reasonable yourself? Luosang said sarcastically. She turned to leave without paying further attention to the man.


    Dad, why did you apologize to that woman? Ye Chuen asked grumpily as she got out of the car. Look at her arrogant demeanor. How dare she forget her ce?


    Shut up, this is all because of you! Ye Dongwei said angrily as he pointed to the bridge of her nose. All your mothers and my efforts at Zhongzhou have gone to waste. Our power in the corporation is slowly being taken away. Sooner orter, well be just relying on that bit of pathetic sry. You will have to say goodbye to that extravagant lifestyle soon. Get yourself to France right after the Lunar New Year.


    What are you doing scolding your own daughter?! Kang Ying hugged her daughter.


    Youve spoiled her! Ye Dongwei said with frustration.


    After they walked off campus, Yan Su remarked, Ye Chuen is really asking for trouble. She just wont learn her lesson, will she?


    Whatever, she will learn her lesson one day. Luosang said casually, She will be going to study in France next semester. I guess she will find out what a lousy academy it is when she gets there.


    Oh really? Mr. Nian is really mean. Yan Su chuckled, too. She looked at Luosang to see her disappointed expression. Whats wrong? Are you affected what they said?


    Do I look like I am such a fragile person? Luosang teased. Ill capture both his body and heart when we go on vacation, and well see if he can ever escape from my clutches.


    Alright, Ill get you more boxes of condoms. Yan Suughed heartily.

 Chapter 439. Youre So Pretty, Xiao Si Has Been Eyeing You Covetously…

    Chapter 439. You''re So Pretty, Xiao Si Has Been Eyeing You Covetously��


    Luo Sang was speechless. You look innocent, but why are you always thinking about condoms?


    Isnt that good? That means Im aware of self-protection, Yan Su answered her question withposure.


    Luo Sang sighed and continued, Seriously, how are you gonna spend this New Years? Youll at least meet your boyfriend once during winter vacation, right?


    I wont have time. Im busy recording my album, and then Ill shoot a music video. He will travel between China and Korea during the New Year. Were both busy. Perhaps next year will be better. When I be a star, hispany wont be against our rtionship anymore. Yan Su smiled confidently, then continued, I have a feeling that Ill definitely be a star next year.


    Luo Sang had no faith in long-distance rtionships like the one that Nian Xi and Ji Chuan had. They were doing better than Yan Su and her boyfriend, as they were able to talk over the phone asionally. But still, a problem had urred between them. Even though they were going to marry now, Luo Sang still wasnt optimistic about their marriage. She felt that Nian Xi was too passionate about their rtionship, and Ji Chuan was too calm.


    However, at least Feng Ji Chuan was a soldier and wasnt surrounded by all kinds of women. Unlike him, Yan Sus boyfriend lived in theplicated entertainment circle, which was like a huge dye vat. Perhaps he had been changed thoroughly already.


    Yan Su didnt know much about it. Luo Sangs father used to run a filmpany, so unlike Yan Su, she had seen lots of actors and actresses who had failed to hold onto their conscience. However, she didnt tell Yan Su about that, as she didnt want to upset her.


    At night, Luo Sang couldnt sleep. Tomorrow, she would go back to An City and meet Xu Zhengxuan. It would be her first journey home after what had happened two years ago. There were too many thoughts in her mind, and the feelings she had were veryplicated as well.


    In the morning, Nian Junting wasnt able to drive her to the airport, as he had a meeting to attend, so he arranged a chauffeur to drive her. When the chauffeur arrived, Luo Sang was surprised, as she saw Xiao Si sitting in the front seat.


    I cant go to An City with you this time, but Xiao Si will keep youpany, said Nian Junting. Hes been managing the stuff about Yu Xi after we purchased thatpany. He was supposed to go to Yu Xi long ago, but it got dyed because of Ji Chuans ident. I can put my mind at ease since hell be with you. Even though Yi Jingxi has no time to cause you any trouble at the moment, we should still be careful.


    Luo Sang nodded.


    But Nian Junting then changed his tone, I still dont trust you with Xiao Si. Youre so pretty, and hes been eyeing you covetously the whole time


    What!? Xiao Si disagreed so strongly that he even spoke in English, When did I eye her covetously?


    Earlier, didnt you want to hire her as your carer? But she didnt like you. Nian Junting frowned and said, And, didnt you say that youd find a girlfriend whos better than her? That girl doesnt exist in the world yet, so I worried that you might want to steal her from me.


    I was Xiao Si just didnt know what to say. I dont think that was because she didnt like me. She cant keep working as a carer, because she needs to study at college. Otherwise, you wouldnt have had a chance to be with her.


    Ah, never mind, Im tired of talking to him. The difference between him and me is way too big. Nian Junting kissed Luo Sangs forehead. She was already shocked at that moment when said to her, Just go ces with him, but dont talk to him too much.


    Alright, alright. Luo Sang worried that Xiao Si might vomit blood because of anger, so she hurriedly sat in the backseat and said, Ill be back the day after tomorrow.


    Once they had driven for a few minutes, Xiao Si sighed and said, Tingting is too much. He even warned you against me. I bet hell see other men around you as the worst enemies ever.


    Luo Sang sighed inwardly.


    Are you feeling free now? Xiao Si asked. Its alright. Do whatever you want and have fun in An City. I wont tell Tingting anything. I promise.

 Chapter 440. Have You Ever Imagined Yourself Back in An City?

    Chapter 440. Have You Ever Imagined Yourself Back in An City?


    Luosangughed bitterly. An City only brought her painful memories. There was no way she could enjoy herself there.


    They arrived at An City at eleven oclock. The current CEO of Yuxi picked them up himself, and Luosang had lunch with them before heading to Yuxi together. At the door, almost all the senior executives andpany artists were there to greet and wee Xiao Si.


    Ji Nuanyi was there as well. It was cold in An City, so she was wearing a big red puffer jacket, and it was easy to spot her. Luosang, Ive waited so long for you. Mr. Xiao, I should address you as Director Xiao now.


    Thanks to your help, of course. Miss Ji, I have to congratte you on bing one of Yuxis shareholders now, too. Xiao Si shook her hand.


    The same goes to you, Mr. Xiao. We can meet in the boardroomter. I have to sign the contract with Luosang first, Ji Nuanyi said.


    Xiao Si nodded.


    Ji Nuanyi and Luosang took the elevator up and arrived at her own floor. Ji Nuanyis manager fetched the contract.


    Luosang nced briefly at the contract. Usually, a voice actor didnt get much for their work, but Ji Nuanyi offered her extremely good benefits and did not restrict the scope of her work. Nuanyi, I really appreciate this. I promise I wont let you down.


    Have you ever imagined yourself back in An City? Ji Nuanyi smiled when she saw Luosang get emotional. Luosang, you dont always get repaid for being kind. Do you have anything going on tonight? Let me take you somece.


    Luosang asked, Where?


    Since youre in An City, we should go pay Zhong Yi a visit. Ji Nuanyi raised her brows suggestively. She is ourmon enemy. Now that the Yi Group is no longer the same, her poprity has gone down a lot as well. Mr. Nian has given word that he wants her to be boycotted in the industry. Shes in a bad state now. Its our time to return the favor.


    Of course Ill go. Luosangs eyes lit up. She would never forget how Zhong Yi treated her in the past.


    Are you going to visit your father in jail in the afternoon? Ji Nuanyi asked.


    Its a little out of the way from here. I was nning to head down tomorrow. Ill go back to my old vi in the afternoon, Luosang said sadly.


    Ji Nuanyi nodded. Remember to update Mr. Xiao about your ns.


    After leaving Yuxi, Luosang took the bus by herself to the old house. She used to take the same bus every day to school. It took her about an hour to reach her estate. The ce looked the same, but Luosang didnt feel like it was home anymore.


    After ten minutes, she was back at her ce. It was muscle memory for her. After what happened then, she had sold the vi at a low price. She didnt even know the owners now. She stood outside quietly staring at the building as the past shed before her eyes. Suddenly, her eyes welled up with tears.


    Someone opened the gates of the house, and she quickly turned to leave. The person called out to her, Luosang?


    She turned to see Zeng Zhun. Her face was aghast, and she quickened her pace.


    Luosang, wait up! Zeng Zhun caught up with her.


    Luosang turned and said coldly, What are you doing here? Is Yi Jingxi here as well?


    Hes not here. He doesnt have time toe back, especially with whats happening to thepany. Zeng Zhunughed bitterly. Im only back to fetch some things for him.


    My house was sold to Yi Jingxi? Luosang asked in disbelief.

 Chapter 441. In Her Room, Her Photos Were All Over the Wall

    Chapter 441. In Her Room, Her Photos Were All Over the Wall


    Zeng Zhun remained silent for a while and then said, Two years ago, you sold this house at a low price. The next day, Jingxi found the buyer and bought it back at a high price. He didnt tell you about that, because he didnt want you to know. Would you like toe in and take a look?


    Luo Sang looked at him alertly and said, Who knows if its an extremely dangerous ce now? Last time, at my school, you almost destroyed me.


    Dont worry. Im just an assistant. What can I possibly do to you? Besides, surveince cameras are all over this ce. If anything happens to you, Nian Junting would certainly find me. With his resources, would he ever let me go? Zeng Shun smiled bitterly and said, The furnishings in here didnt change. You cane in and look at your home. Luo Sang, I never wanted to hurt you. I did what I did, because Jingxi told me to. With some things I tried to persuade him, but hes too stubborn.


    Luo Sang hesitated for a while before nodding. Zeng Zhun sighed with relief, then opened the door and let her in. The front yard looked exactly the same as it had when she had left. Not even a tree was missing. It was winter now, so the leaves had fallen off the branches. Seeing the familiar scene, Luo Sangs eyes couldnt help but turn misty.


    She had lived here for over ten years. This ce was filled with her memories with her father. She walked into the house. The furnishings in the living room hadnt changed. Even the vases had never been moved. She stood there in a daze for a while, as if the disaster had never happened.


    At that time, Jingxi bought the house as quickly as possible, because he worried that the buyer might move things, said Zeng Zhun. While you were away these past two years, he lived here whenever he was in An City. He stayed in the guest room, because he didnt want to touch the other areas. He knew that this ce is where you grew up, and it is filled with your memories


    Luo Sang interrupted him. Its meaningless for you to say that. Ill never forget the harm that he has done to me. Her voice contained hatred.


    Zeng Zhun nced at her and said, Go to your room and have a look.


    Luo Sang would have gone, even if he hadnt said that. When she came upstairs and pushed open the door of her old bedroom, she was stunned. In that room, her photos were all over the wall. They were the photos of her and Yi Jingxi, some of her selfies, and some photos of herself that had been taken by Yi Jingxi.


    Every single one of these photos had been erged. Her brain even stopped working while she was looking at those photographs.


    Jingxi came here every time he missed you. He kept every one of your photos. He often stared at these photos all day, said Zeng Zhun. Sometimes, I even feel that hes out of his mind. He loves you so much that he doesnt even know how to actually love you. Hes been trying to get your attention by hurting you.


    Dont tell me that, Luo Sang interrupted him with a loud, trembling voice. Hes a devil in my eyes. I dont want his love. His love is horrible.


    Yes, hes getting more and more horrible. Zeng Zhun nodded and then said with a deep, dry voice, At Christmas, he clearly knew that what he was going to do would offend the Murong family and piss Nian Junting off, but he still did it. I tried to talk him out of it, but he didnt listen to me. He just wants you to leave Nian Junting. To serve that purpose, he even tried to destroy you.


    Why are you saying all this to me? Are you trying to make me feel touched because he still loves me? Luo Sang sneered and said, If it wasnt for Nian Junting, I might have been driven to death by him and Zhong Yi long ago. I hid from them for two years, but they found me, and they just wouldnt leave me alone. Ive told you that Ill hate him until I die.


    She turned and walked downstairs without looking back.

 Chapter 442. Did She Have a Brother?

    Chapter 442. Did She Have a Brother?


    When she was at the door, she turned and said, This house used to be home to many of my childhood memories, but now that it is upied by Yi Jingxi, it gives me the creeps. I will nevere back again.


    Zeng Zhun watched her disappear through the gates. He hadnt said all that hoping that she would forgive Yi Jingxi; he just wished that she would hate him a little less. Only that way would Yi Jingxi maybe have a shot at salvation.


    When Luosang walked out of the vi, she was in a daze. Her mind was nk, and she was confused and lost. While walking on the path, one of the security guards called out to her, Miss Xu I havent seen you in so long.


    Luosang was shocked. She recognized the guard. He was always at the guard post, and they often greeted each other.


    Hey, Luosang acknowledged him. I havent been in An City.


    Ah, I see. The security guard smiled, and before he was about to leave, he said, Oh right, someone came looking for you two years ago.


    Oh really? Luosangughed lightly. She wasnt surprised that people would look for her after all that happened two years ago. People were always looking for trouble.


    It was a boy, about eighteen to neen years old. He was a handsome chap and he he resembled you, Miss Xu, the security guard said.


    Luosang froze. He looks like me?


    Yeah, thats why I remembered him all this time.


    Luosang remembered what Feng Ge said to her and asked, Did he say why he was looking for me? Do you know where he came from and where he went?


    He only asked me if Xu Luosang lived here. I told him that you had moved out long ago and sold the vi, then he left. He couldnt speak fluent Chinese, and he kept inserting English phrases. He must have lived overseas for most of his life, the guard said.


    Thank you. Luosangs thoughts were in a flurry. Xu Zhengxuan was the only child of his family. After her grandpa and grandma passed away, none of their distant rtives kept in touch with them, especially after what had happened. She had never heard of someone who looked just like her.


    Was her mother still alive? Did she have a brother? The more she thought about it, the more overwhelmed she got. She wished that she could visit the prison at once, but it was toote now.


    At five oclock in the evening, Ji Nuanyi called her, and Luosang gave her an address. After about 30 minutes, a Bentley rolled around the corner and parked in front of her. Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi were both sitting in the passenger seats.


    Brother Xiao, why are you here, too? Luosang thought that the two would make a handsome couple.


    Tingting told me to keep an eye on you two. He was worried that something might happen to you if you acted on your own. He would never let me off if anything happened to you. Xiao Si shrugged. I dont want to be here, either. I would rather be off somewhere tasting the delicacies of An City.


    How about I bring you around after were done with this business? I havent had snacks around here in too long, Luosang said.


    Dont. Im not going out for supper with you. If Tingting found out, he would surely send me to the border for some wretched business. Xiao Si waved his arms around vehemently.


    I dont have anything going on tonight. I can go with you, Ji Nuanyi said suddenly. Ill buy you supper as thanks for making me a shareholder of Yuxi.


    Sure! Xiao Si agreed readily.

 Chapter 443. Zhong Yi, Do You Know Why I Invited You Here Today?

    Chapter 443. Zhong Yi, Do You Know Why I Invited You Here Today?


    At half past seven, the car was parked in front of a private club. Ji Nuanyi guided the others upstairs. The club was decorated with marble and was as luxurious as a pce.


    They walked into the VIP room at the end of the corridor and saw a few people sitting there. Zhong Yi was sitting in the middle of the group, holding a ss of wine and talking to a middle-aged man. Seeing them walk in, the look on her face changed slightly.


    Director Li, Mr. Sha, sorry Imte. Ji Nuanyi stepped forward, smiling.


    Nuanyi, this is the first time Ive seen you with a man. Is this your boyfriend? Hes pretty handsome. Director Li raised his head andughed.


    Ji Nuanyi was puzzled at first, then realized what Director Li was talking about. She grinned and responded, No, this is Mr. Xiao, the major shareholder of Yu Xi, the Vice President of Shengting.


    Once Ji Nuanyi had introduced Xiao Si, the others in the room immediately stood up to shake hands with him. Mr. Xiao, Ive heard a lot about you, someone said. Xiao Si gave a faint smile. Tonight wasnt about him, so he just wanted to be a quiet, good-looking boy.


    As someone introduced Zhong Yi to her, Ji Nuanyi raised her eyebrows and said, Im really familiar with Miss Zhong. Years ago, she was just an unknown voice actor. I even rmended her for a job. Well,ter on, I was surprised to hear that she had stolen her friends boyfriend. With Yi Jingxis help, she advanced rapidly in her career. Since then, shes in more important positions than I am in all kinds of activities.


    The conversation had started in a quite unfriendly way. Zhong Yi was a little embarrassed, yet it was inappropriate for her to show any discontent. With no other choice, she said to Director Li who sat beside her, I think Miss Ji has misunderstood me. I clearly remember how she helped me. You cant me me for the activities. The organizers put me in important positions on purpose, to fawn on the Yi Group.


    Director Li smiled and took a sip of wine. He said, Zhong Yi, do you know why I invited you here today? Its not about the casting of my new movie. Instead, its because Nuanyi wants to see you. Ive been friends with her for years. Years ago, when I was in a slump in my career, I wanted to make a movie, but people didnt even want to talk to me. Only Nuanyi helped me. She worked with me on that movie for free. Dont think that everyone is as heartless as you.


    Zhong Yis expression changed. She stood up, grabbed her purse, and prepared to leave. Ji Nuanyi rushed over, picked up a ss of wine, and threw it in Zhong Yis face.


    Ji Nuanyi, youre insane! As the group of men around her merely watched this happen, Zhong Yi couldnt help but burst out screaming, I am Yi Jingxis girlfriend! How dare you treat me like this!? Yi Jingxi wont let you get away with this!


    Yi Jingxi is just using you. Luo Sang walked over, looked at her coldly, and said, He has been using you to antagonize me, and thats all.


    What are you talking about? Zhong Yi sneered and said, Xu Luo Sang, youre still jealous of me. Its so ridiculous. Jingxi has given me all the things that you dont have.


    Luo Sang pressed her lips together without saying anything else, as she saw that Zhong Yi was slowly reaching a hand toward her pocket. She grabbed Zhong Yis hand and took her phone out of her pocket. As she had thought, Zhong Yi was recording.


    Give me my phone back! Zhong Yi screeched and tried to take back her phone.


    Ji Nuanyi immediately pushed her onto the couch, picked up a wine bottle, and pointed it at Zhong Yi while saying, Do you think that I dont know what youve done these past few years? Your fans never stopped insulting me and even my family online, because you have been telling them to! Ive seen countless evil women, and youre the worst of them all! Ji Nuanyis fierceness frightened Zhong Yi and made her curl up on the couch. Even the men around her were stunned.


    Xiao Sis mouth was agape as he grabbed Luo Sangs sleeve and whispered, This girl seems to weigh less than 100 pounds, but shes scarily strong!

 Chapter 444. Yi Jingxi Has Never Touched Me

    Chapter 444. Yi Jingxi Has Never Touched Me


    Luosang was shocked, too. Ji Nuanyi was always gentle and demure. She had never seen this vicious side of her before. To be fair, Ji Nuanyi didnte from an impressive background, so she might not have been able to rise to her status now if she wasnt vicious when necessary. Zhong Yi was asking for it, anyway.


    Ji Nuanyi, dont be ridiculous. Zhong Yi was shivering in fear. Although the Yi Group is facing some problems now, it doesnt mean that it will be permanent. I am still a public figure, after all. Ill go online and expose you if you dare to hit me.


    Dont worry, I know that. Im not going to hit your face. Ji Nuanyi turned and said, Do you have any good ideas, Luosang?


    Luosang looked around the table and settled her gaze on the two bottles of whiskey. Zhong Yi, do you remember what you did to me at Gu Feng? Ill give you two options tonight. Either you sleep with one of these guys, or you finish these two bottles of whiskey in one sitting.


    Are you crazy? Ill be sent to the hospital after this, Zhong Yi screamed.


    Luosangughed. So youre picking the option of sleeping with one of the men here?


    Ive arranged for someone, Ji Nuanyi added. She turned to address the men in the room. Who wants to do the honors?


    Me, me! One of the men stood up. He was big and fat. Ha, this woman acts so arrogantly and cockily just because she was with Yi Jingxi. Ive always found her to be an eyesore.


    Zhong Yi looked at the man and was about to break down. No, no, no, Im not going to sleep with him, I dont want to!


    You dont want this, and you dont what that. What do you want, then? Ji Nuanyi knocked the ss bottle against the table with annoyance, and then she propped one of her legs up on the sofa. Are you treating this like a game? Youre not picking a hair stylist, you know? If youre not going to choose, Ill make the decision for you. You shall sleep with this man. I thought you loved snatching men. He looks like the most energetic one out of this group, anyway. Hell surely give you one heck of a night to remember.


    I didnt snatch anyone. Yi Jingxi asked me to put on an act with him. Im innocent. Zhong Yi pleaded with Luosang. Yi Jingxi has never touched me, not once. Luosang, everything I did to you was because he told me to do it!


    Was he the one who arranged for me to sleep with Mr. Lin that night as well? Luosang snickered at her.


    Yes, it was him! You know how much he hates you! Zhong Yi grimaced. He arranged for you to be my assistant as well.


    Luosangughed. She might have believed her in the past, but now she had found out about Yi Jingxis obsession with her, so it was impossible that he would offer her to Mr. Lin. Zhong Yi, you said that you loved Yi Jingxi. How can you put all the responsibility on him now? Ive recorded everything. I will edit it and send the clip to Yi Jingxi and corroborate what youve said with him.


    Zhong Yi copsed onto the couch in defeat. After a long while, she sat upright and grabbed the bottle of whiskey from Luosangs hands. Ill drink, Ill drink. Luosang, please dont tell Yi Jingxi.


    Yi Jingxi would never let her off.


    Two bottles were enough at first, but since youre so full of lies, Ill have to add another, Ji Nuanyi said as she fetched another bottle.


    You said so yourself, youd better let me go after I drink all of this. You better not take advantage of me after Im drunk. Zhong Yi gritted her teeth.


    Were not as despicable as you. Luosang mocked her.

 Chapter 445. She Wont Let Zhong Yi Become a Star

    Chapter 445. She Won''t Let Zhong Yi Be a Star


    Zhong Yi clenched her teeth, grabbed the whiskey, and poured it into her mouth. The sharp taste nearly made her throw up, but she made herself keep drinking. After finishing half the bottle, she couldnt help but start barfing.


    Are you ying a game with me? You drank half a bottle, then threw it up. The half bottle doesnt count. You need to drink a half bottle more, said Ji Nuanyi darkly.


    Ji Nuanyi, I did nothing but tell my fans to speak against you online. Youve still be a star, havent you? Its not like you lost an arm. The strong liquor even made Zhong Yi shed tears.


    Yeah, I helped you, and you assaulted me. Why did you do that? Youre sick. Are you aware of that? Youre not grateful to the people who helped you. On the contrary, youre jealous of them, and you tried to hurt them. You didnt even show them the respect that they deserve. Ji Nuanyi couldnt stand looking at Zhong Yi. Look at Xu Luo Sang, look how miserable she was because of you.


    Luo Sang said, Zhong Yi, Ill ask you one more question. If your answer satisfies me, you can drink a bottle less. Did Yi Jingxi frame my father?


    How can I possibly know that? Yi Jingxi hid the truth so well. Hed never tell me about it. Zhong Yi looked pitiful. I could only see him a few times a year. Only after I met you in Xia City did he show up around me. If you hadnt shown up, meeting him would have been as difficult for me as meeting the prime minister.


    That gave Luo Sang a start.


    Seeing that, Xiao Si finally joined the conversation. Just drink. Dont waste our time.


    You said that I could drink half a bottle less, said Zhong Yi weakly.


    The dislike on Luo Sangs face was in to see. She didnt even want to say a word about Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi was so jealous and spineless. She loved Yi Jingxi and did all kinds of bad things with him, but now she had betrayed that man. Luo Sang felt that she had been so blind earlier to actually have made friends with someone like Zhong Yi. Alright, half a bottle less, but dont you waste even a drop, she said.


    After that, Zhong Yi tossed off two and a half bottles of whiskey. Before finishing, she couldnt even hold the bottle steadily. As she finally finished the liquor off, she directly kneeled on the ground and began vomiting. She waspletely without manners at that moment.


    She was awfully drunk. She took off her shoes,id on the couch, pointed at the ceiling, and cursed, Xu Luo Sang you b*tch! If your family wasnt rich, Id never be friends with you Youre an idiot! You thought everyone is like you? Only wanting to do voice acting? Pah I, I want to be a star! I want to be famous I want to live in the spotlight


    Can you please do me a favor? Luo Sang asked a fat man nearby. Can you hold her? I want to take some pictures.


    Of course. The man immediately walked up and put his arms around Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi was a female star after all, and it felt quite good to bully her.


    Luo Sang took a few pictures. In the pictures, Zhong Yis dress was halfway torn off. Sheid in the mans arms, grinning in a tempting way. If those pictures spread, Zhong Yis career would definitely be destroyed. She wanted to be a star, but Luo Sang wanted that to never happen.


    Walking out of the room, Xiao Si sighed and said, Why do you have to make it soplicated? Why dont you just let those men rape her? She deserves that, anyway.


    I only want to scare her at first. Ji Nuanyi shook her head. There are some things immoral people might do, but we cant. If we do that, wed be the same as Zhong Yi.


    Xiao Si nced at her in surprise, because just a couple of minutes ago, she was acting like a female robber. Youre really an actress, thought Xiao Si.


    Yeah, thats enough. Luo Sang smiled and said, Nuanyi, thank you for tonight. Ive been holding a strong hatred toward Zhong Yi all these years.

 Chapter 446. I Really Miss Your Cooking

    Chapter 446. I Really Miss Your Cooking


    I have so much hatred pent up in me. Ji Nuanyiughed. Remember to edit that clip and send it to Yi Jingxiter. Let him know exactly who he was with. I dont care if they were acting or pretending, he did raise her to her poprity today.


    Luosang nodded. It was a bummer to think about those things. Too bad she was such a terrible judge of character.


    The driver took her to the hotel. Have fun, you guys! Luosang waved goodbye to them before leaving. Back in her room, she called Nian Junting after her shower. What are you doing?


    Still working, he swiftly replied.


    It was already nine oclock. Youre still at the office?


    Yup, Nian Junting replied. He addressed someone else in the background, How many times must I tell you to review ourpany shares when the yearly audit rolls around?


    But I thought that this was already sufficient


    Am I the boss, or are you the boss?


    Luosang only spoke when it got quiet at the other end. Why do you make your workers work overtime, too?


    I am the boss, so of course I must have ackey around to perform the required tasks.


    So how many people are there at the office tonight? Luosang asked curiously.


    Not many, just the supervisors of each department, about ten of them.


    Luosang said a silent prayer for all of them trapped in the office that night. Whats the rush?


    Of course we need to rush. How can I go off on our vacation if I dont finish the work? There are a lot of things to take care of at the end of the year. Nian Junting continued, Im nning to stay over at the office since youre not around.


    Luosang thought that most of his colleagues must feel like breaking down after hearing what he was saying. You shouldnt be that way. You should be more considerate of others.


    I have to pay their sry and consider their feelings? Im not Saint Maria, you know, Nian Junting said coldly.


    Luosang sighed and changed the topic. She was excited to share some gossip. Xiao Si is out tonight having supper with Ji Nuanyi.


    Im kinda hungry right now as well. He sighed. I really miss your cooking. Nian Junting sounded frustrated over the phone.


    Luosang soon realized that it was no fun sharing gossip with this monotonous man. Come on, Xiao Si is your brother, after all. Do you really have zero interest in his affairs? I think they look good together. Maybe we can help bring them together.


    Uninterested.


    Well, thats enough, goodbye. Luosang was going to tell him about her brother, but he was killing the conversation every second it carried on.


    Ok.


    After she hung up, she regretted it a little bit. She wished that she had reminded him not to stay up toote.


    The next morning, the sun was bright and shining. Luosang called a taxi to go to the An City prison. The ride there took about an hour, and the guards werent on shift yet when she arrived. She had to wait for a while longer before she registered as a visitor.


    She waited another five minutes in the visiting area before Xu Zhengxuan emerged with his handcuffs and ankle cuffs. After two years, his hair had turned gray, and he looked thin and malnourished. He looked like he had aged ten years.


    Dad Tears rolled down her cheeks immediately, and she felt herself choke up with emotion before she could say anything more.


    Hey, my Sangsang is still as beautiful as ever. Youve grown up. Xu Zhengxuan smiled. His eyes were red, too.


    Im sorry, dad. It took me so long toe to see you, Luosang said guiltily. Ive been in Xia City these two years. Professor Ma used his connections to get me into the Ximei Academy.

 Chapter 447. Have You Done Something Bad Before?

    Chapter 447. Have You Done Something Bad Before?


    Xu Zhengxuan nodded and said, Professor Ma is a good man. Among all my friends, I only trust him. This is all Yi Jingxis fault. I dont know why he hates our family, but I have had a clear conscience all my life. And you, youre so young. You had a bright future, yet he destroyed it. Thankfully, Professor Ma helped you, and youre back in school now. Im relieved. You should work hard. Unlike you, I have nothing to hope for in this life. After saying that, his face showed despair.


    Luo Sang stared at him for a while, and then gathered her courage, gritted her teeth, and asked, Dad, have you done something bad before?


    Xu Zhengxuan was startled at first. A short whileter, he understood Luo Sangs meaning, and his face slowly darkened. Sangsang, even you dont believe me?


    Earlier I met one of my mothers ssmates. She told me that mom used to be your student, and that she had me before graduating from school. She also said that not long after you came back to An City, you were with another student of yours.


    Nonsense! Xu Zhengxuan was so angry that his face even turned red. I was never with a woman other than your mother!


    Is my mother really dead? Luo Sang looked him in the eyes and said, Look at me, can you swear? Moms friend said that thest time they met, she was in the hospital doing antenatal care. Mom was pregnant. Yesterday, I went back to where we lived. The security guys told me that two years ago, a boy around 18 years old came to find me. They said that he looked a lot like me. Is he my younger brother?


    Xu Zhengxuans eyes popped in shock, as if he had been suddenly drained of strength. Did she really give birth to that boy? he murmured.


    So what moms friend said is true. Luo Sang abruptly stood up and gripped the microphone. Mom didnt die! Why did you lie to me?


    Yes, I lied to you. Xu Zhengxuan nodded. He eyes were red as he continued, But its not like what you think. We were happy when we had you, but things changed after we came back to An City. Your mother is an orphan, and Im from a schrly family. Your grandma didnt like your mother. There was a lot of conflict when they lived together. Your mother was bad-tempered, so they fought a lot.


    Back then, I was newly transferred to An City. I worked a lot, and I was tired every day. Therefore, I used my work as an excuse. I hid in the school from all the family problems. At that time, I was immature. I didnt know to handle these things. That year, the school arranged for me to make a short film. I selected a few students from my department. Chu Lei was one of them. Your mother thought there was something between her and me. I exined it to her, but she wouldnt listen. Atst, she just left you at home and started spending time in all kinds of entertainment ces with all kinds of men. I was angry, so I brought Chu Lei to all sorts of ces on purpose to get back at her. Later on, your mom got pregnant. She wanted to abort the baby and divorce me, but I wouldnt agree to it. However, she was like a wild horse, and no one could change her mind. So, with no other choice, I locked her up.


    How could you do that? Luo Sang was shocked.


    Xu Zhengxuan pulled his hair bitterly while saying, I didnt want to do that to her, but I didnt want to divorce. I didnt even know why my marriage had be like that. I kept her locked up for two months. She lost more and more weight; she was even going to lose that child. When I took her to the hospital for a checkup, she ran away. I never saw her again after that. I thought she had aborted the baby, but ording to what you said, I think she gave birth to him.

 Chapter 448. Im the Only One Who Can Comfort You

    Chapter 448. I''m the Only One Who Can Comfort You


    Why did you lie to me and tell me that she was dead, then? Luosang asked loudly.


    Because I hate her, Xu Zhengxuan said finally. When I went looking for her, I realized that she had run away with another man. She had walked out just like that. She walked out on me and you.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She guessed that in rtionships, one could be afraid of both receiving and losing love and affection. If you had handled the rtionship between my mother and grandmother properly in a calm manner, she might not have left the two of us. If only you had dealt with it in a more mature way, maybe everything would be different today, Luosang said after a long pause.


    Yes, its my fault. Xu Zhengxuan covered his face. Ive thought about traveling back in time to put things back in their right ce countless times, but theres no such thing. She was so beautiful. I think she was about your age when she left me. I was sure that she would have many suitors afterward. It is likely that shes happily married somewhere. Sangsang, please dont make me reminisce about the past. My heart aches every time.


    Luosang closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Xu Zhengxuan said, Maybe she was somewhere mocking me when she saw the news about what happened to me. She probably thinks that I am gross and repugnant. She used to say that about me, too. I hope she never appears again. Look at me now. My hair is gray and my forehead wrinkled. I will kill myself in prison if I ever have to see her again


    How could I let you die in prison if youre innocent? Luosang stood up and looked at the clock. It was about time to leave. Dad, Ill find a way to get you out of here no matter what.


    She flew straight to the airport after visiting the prison. When she arrived, Nian Junting was waiting for her outside.


    What are you doing here? I thought you were swamped with work. Luosang walked towards him with a look of confusion on her face.


    Nian Junting looked hard at her for a second before pulling her into an embrace. He said in a quiet tone, You visited Papa in the afternoon. You must be feeling dejected. I came because I know Im the only one who canfort you.


    Luosang was taken aback by his gesture. She was touched, of course. But he imed that he was the only one that couldfort her Gee


    Wait, what did you call my dad just now? Luosang finally reacted to the situation.


    Papa. The man looked at her matter-of-factly.


    The corner of Luosangs mouth twitched ufortably. I dont think were married yet. What are you doing?


    Its only a matter of time. Its better that we get used to things now. Nian Junting didnt even bat an eye when he said it.


    Luosang found the whole situation hrious. He wasnt someone who needed time to ease into things. Being with him cleared her mind of all troubles. Look at your dark eye circles. Did you have a rough night?


    I only slept a wink. I couldnt fall asleep.


    Did you drink coffee or concentrated tea? Luosang frowned.


    Nope, I was thinking about you. Nian Junting looked at her seriously.


    Luosang blushed instantly.


    Enough, Im still standing here guys. Can you watch yourselves? Im about to throw up. Xiao Si rolled his eyes.


    Youre still jealous? Nian Junting wiggled his brows. I heard you found yourself a girlfriend.


    Who told you that? Xiao Si was shell-shocked. Whos my girlfriend?


    Ji Nuanyi. Nian Junting directed his gaze to Luosang. Didnt you tell me that yesterday?

 Chapter 449. You Look So Good in Pajamas, Its Difficult to Ensure That They Wont Fall for You

    Chapter 449. You Look So Good in Pajamas, It''s Difficult to Ensure That They Won''t Fall for You


    When did I say that? Luo Sang was confused.


    Last night. Nian Junting said with a frown, You said that he did something with Ji Nuanyi. I was working at that time, so I didnt hear you carefully, but I guess that was what you meant.


    Xiao Si turned to look at Luo Sang.


    Luo Sang was awfully embarrassed. How can you say thats what I meant if you didnt listen to me carefully? I was telling you that Si and Nuanyi went to have dinner together, and that there was a spark between them.


    Um Now I remember. Those were your words. Nian Junting rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment, and then nodded.


    Luo Sang felt that her heart was so tired. In addition to narcissism, Nian Junting had recently developed a super-rich imagination. He actually talked about what Luo Sang had said right in front of Xiao Si. Luo Sang would never dare to share gossip with him again.


    That Si I She didnt know how to exin.


    So you think theres a spark between us, too. Xiao Si happily raised his eyebrows and said, Do you think Ill have a chance if I try to pursue her?


    Luo Sang was surprised. Are you preparing to pursue Nuanyi?


    Yeah. Last night I became attracted to her when she raised that bottle with one hand. Xiao Si nodded with satisfaction.


    Luo Sang couldnt think of a word to say for a while. People said that, birds of a feather flock together, and people of one mind fall into the same group. That was true. Luo Sang now suspected that one part of Xiao Sis heart was also upied by masochism, just like Nian Juntings.


    Im not sure. I didnt have much time to interact with her, but I can tell for sure that shes a good person, said Luo Sang. But currently, shes known for her diligence. I heard that she works all year round and never rests.


    Xiao Si smiled and said, Its okay. Im her boss now. I can make her rest with one word.


    Luo Sang thought for a moment and then agreed.


    Alright, lets go. Nian Junting interrupted the conversation discontentedly, as he found that Luo Sang and Xiao Si actually had quite a few topics inmon. He put an arm round Luo Sangs shoulder and then walked toward the parking lot.


    After driving Xiao Si to thepany, Nian Junting turned back and said to Luo Sang, I n to sleep in my office for a few days, because I need to work overtime. You should stay there with me.


    Why?


    Because Im worried that I might miss you too much. I cant sleep without you. I didnt get any sleepst night.


    Luo Sang instantly blushed. No, she refused.


    Give me a reason. Nian Junting immediately looked displeased.


    Thats where you work. How can I live in that ce with you? If your employees were to find out, they might say that Im a fox, that I wont give you any time alone, even when you need to work overtime. Luo Sang sighed and said, I am finally on winter break. In a couple of days, were going on vacation. I just want to rest somewhere quiet and sleepte.


    You can sleepte in my office. I wont wake you up. Nian Junting knitted his brows and said, Besides, you are a fox. Youve enchanted me.


    When you work at night, the managers in yourpany wille in and out of your office. I dont think its appropriate for me to walk around in your office in my pajamas at night, said Luo Sang.


    Youre right. Nian Junting stayed silent for a short while and then said, You look so good in pajamas, its difficult to ensure that they wont fall for you. Forget it, you should stay at the vi.


    Luo Sang wanted to vomit blood. She had said so many words, but only the word pajamas got into his mind. However, she decided to let him think whatever he wanted.


    Dont forget toe here often to bring me food, and were going abroad next Monday, so theres some shopping for you to do. You should go to a mall and buy me a pair of swim trunks, and also get yourself some swimsuits. You need to buy both conservative and less conservative swimsuits. Youll be wearing the conservative ones when we go out together and the less conservative ones in front of me. After giving Luo Sang a series of instructions, Nian Junting went upstairs.

 Chapter 450. What Exactly Happened at Gu Feng…?

    Chapter 450. What Exactly Happened at Gu Feng��?


    Over the next few days, Luosang spent time at home packing her things. She also went shopping for things that shecked. She spent her free time reading about gossip at home.


    After she came back, Zhong Yis photo at the club was circted online and remained as one of the top searches for many days toe. Even Sister Lan, who didnt know about the entire situation, had something negative to say about her. Zhong Yi Ah, she looks like a nice and innocent girl on the television. I never would have thought that she was such a shameless person. I cant believe shes so popr. Something is seriously wrong with our entertainment industry.


    Luosang looked over at her. Sister Lan was on WeChat as she continued, Look, look! She is trending number one on WeChat. Its about her scandal. It says that she has been sleeping around with investors. Look at these photos! She looks absolutely wasted and indecently dressed leaning against this man. Look at the man. Even I wouldnt go for that. Celebrities nowadays will do anything to gain poprity.


    Luosang was giggling as she munched on sunflower seeds. Sister Lan would never have guessed that she was the one who had taken the photo.


    She should be blocked, blocked from any future jobs, Sister Lan protested. I heard she had a boyfriend, too. How could she two-time her boyfriend? I heard that her boyfriend is scum, as well. Hes the CEO of an entertainmentpany, and he always makes his artists sleep with his investors for his own profit. What a scumbag.


    How do you know so much, Sister Lan? Luosang teased her yfully.


    My friends have been reposting this story. There are so many articles, and its quite exciting, Sister Lan said. There are manyment threads on the posts as well, and I read them all.


    Youre really up to date, Sister Lan. Luosang gave her a thumbs up.


    Of course, I have to keep up with the times. Sister Lan turned to do her chores.


    After lunch, Luosang emerged from the washroom, and she overheard Sister Lan talking to her friend over the phone about the article again. She thought that Zhong Yi was really finished this time. The power of the inte was formidable in this day and age. There were many others like Sister Lan, so there was no redeeming herself now.


    She thought more about what had happened, and she went back to her room to edit the clip that she had recorded. When she was done, she quickly hit the send button and emailed it to Yi Jingxi.


    At the Yi Group.


    When Yi Jingxi saw Luosangs email in his inbox, his heart fluttered in excitement, but when he opened the file, he heard another familiar voice. Luosang, he instructed me to do all those things.


    He asked you to bring me to Gu Feng and apany Mr. Lin that night?


    Yes, it was all him. You know how much he detests you! He arranged for you to be my assistant as well.


    The clip ended.


    Yi Jingxi quickly dialed Luosangs number. He was pleasantly surprised when the call connected.


    Yi Jingxi


    What exactly happened at Gu Feng?


    Luosang chuckled. Zhong Yi purposely made me drunk along with Mr. Lin, and he proceeded to try to rape me. Nian Junting saved me that night. Otherwise, I would truly have be a wretched soul. Yi Jingxi, you really found a good actress to y the role in your show. I went to visit my dad as well, just to let you know. I know he was framed. One day, I will find out exactly what you did to him. She hung up after saying her piece.


    Yi Jingxi stood up and paced around his office. He kicked the leg of the coffee table several times until the table was smashed.


    Mr. Yi. Zeng Zhun rushed into his office. He was shocked to see the mess in the center of the room.


    Tell Zhong Yi toe back here at once! If she refuses, tie her up and bring her here to me.


    After three hours, Zhong Yi was dragged into the office. When she saw how dark and cold Yi Jingxis expression was, she shuddered in fear. His handsome features were contorted in a twisted manner.


    Jingxi

 Chapter 451. For Every Bad Thing Youve Done, My People Will Break One of Your Fingers

    Chapter 451. For Every Bad Thing You''ve Done, My People Will Break One of Your Fingers


    Yi Jingxi rushed up and kicked her chest. Zhong Yi screamed as she fell onto the floor, feeling like her internal organs had shattered under his foot.


    Yi Jingxi pointed at her. Let me ask you something. That night in Gu Feng, what did you do to Luo Sang? His voice was ice cold.


    Zhong Yis heart missed a beat. She guessed that Luo Sang must have sent the recording to Yi Jingxi. Jingxi, you misunderstood it. Did Luo Sang send you the recording? They made me say that. And those photos They forced me to drink. I


    Yeah, when people asked you, you told them that I made you do all the bad things. Yi Jingxi stepped on the back of Zhong Yis hand and said, When I told you to keep Luo Sang as your assistant, did I ask you to send her to another mans bed? Who the hell is that Mr. Lin? That man doesnt deserve to even touch a finger of hers! Im so stupid that I knew nothing about this. I even saved your *ss from the trouble you made for yourself. No wonder Luo Sang hates me so much. And even now, youre still lying.


    Some people believed that fingers were connected to the heart. Zhong Yis fingers were about to break, and that caused her immense pain and made tears stream down her cheeks. Jingxi, I was wrong, she cried. I felt sorry for you when I saw Luo Sang treat you like that. Thats why I wanted to get revenge on her. I did what I did because I love you!


    Love me? Yi Jingxi snorted and responded, Thats how you love me? By letting me take all the me? Tell me, what other things have you done behind my back?


    I Nothing. Thats the only thing I did without your permission. Zhong Yi quickly shook her head. She believed that Yi Jingxi would definitely kill her if he found out about everything she had done.


    Yi Jingxi slowly stood up, looked at the woman who was trembling on the floor, and said, Im offering you onest chance. Are you gonna tell me, or do you want me to find out myself? If I find out For every bad thing youve done, my people will break one of your fingers.


    Frightened, Zhong Yi hurriedly asked, No If I tell you the truth Will you forgive me?


    At least youll suffer less than what might happen after I find out myself. Yi Jingxi squinted at her and said, You know what kind of a person I am that I can even be so cruel to Luo Sang, not to mention you.


    Ill tell you, Ill tell you. Zhong Yi nodded and said, Two years ago, when Luo Sang was studying in An City, I knew that you were looking for people to spread Xu Zhengxuans story, so I made some students bully her. I told some girls to lock her in a bathroom or ssroom, and I asked some boys to harass her.


    Yi Jingxi clenched his fists and said, What else?


    And and, when she lived in the small apartment in An City, I hired some gangsters nearby to knock on her door in the middle of the night and smash things in her room But, she wasnt harmed


    Before Zhong Yi finished, Yi Jingxi gave her another kick that was even harder than the first one. She suffered so much pain that she couldnt talk for a long while.


    You think it was okay because she was unharmed? Shes a girl. Have you thought about how scared she was when something like that happened to her in the middle of the night? And have you ever thought that those people might want to do something to her? Or maybe you just didnt care and even wanted that to happen. Yi Jingxi bent over, pointed at her face, and said, Zhong Yi, I thought that you were just a vain, greedy person, but Im surprised to find that youre purely evil. Luo Sang was nice to you. How did you manage to do something like that to her?


    Zhong Yi shook her head while crying. Yi Jingxi stood up and continued kicking her.


    Finally, Zhong Yi was beyond endurance. Enough! What makes you think you can say that to me? She burst out yelling, Did you give her less humiliation than I did? You stirred up her fathers trouble, and you spread that story all over the world. You bore witness yourself to send her father to prison. In front of a bunch of men, you called her a slut. You ruined her career, destroyed her home. She finally started over in Xia City, but you revealed her identity as Xu Luosang in public, in the cruelest way. I didnt do all that.

 Chapter 452. Whats the Point of Going to the Beach If You Dont Wear Bikinis?

    Chapter 452. What''s the Point of Going to the Beach If You Don''t Wear Bikinis?


    Yi Jingxi felt his temples pulsate. Every word she said stabbed him in the heart like a knife. It was so painful, he could hardly breathe. His mind was nk. He just wanted her to shut up.


    Mr. Yi, there are people outside. I think that is enough. Zeng Zhun went forward and held him back when he saw that Yi Jingxi was a little out of control. Youre going to kill her at this rate. Shes a public figure, after all.


    Yi Jingxi finally stopped. He pointed a finger at her and said coldly, Get lost.


    Zhong Yi didnt dare to stay any longer. She quickly crawled out of the office.


    She is going to be banished from the entertainment industry. If I can bring her up to her status, I can push her down to hell, too, Yi Jingximanded in an icy voice. When he was done, he turned and felt his body go weak.


    No wonder Luosang had left An City so suddenly. No wonder Luosang had so much hatred for her whenever they met again in Xia City. It was this hatred that had forced him to do all sorts of things to hurt her further. He had nearly ruined her for good. If not for Zhong Yi, Luosang would not have been saved by Nian Junting at Gu Feng, and she would never have ended up together with him.


    Zeng Zhun, do you think Im a fool? Ive been made a fool of by Zhong Yi for so many years, and I listened to so many of her opinions. Yi Jingxiughed miserably. You were right, I shouldnt have used her to hurt Luosang in the first ce.


    Zeng Zhun sighed but didnt reply. He wanted to tell him that Zhong Yi wasnt all wrong. Although Zhong Yi hurt Luosang, she wouldnt have had the opportunity if Yi Jingxi hadnt provided it for her. If Zhong Yi was the perpetrator, Yi Jingxi was an aplice.


    Luosang spent an idyllic week at the vi. However, Nian Junting would work untilte every night. He often returned at eleven oclock. He didnt rest well for the entire week, and he didnt even have time to properly groom himself. His stubble had grown out, and dark eye circles decorated his face.


    When Luosang saw him, she questioned whether she should have promised to give herself away to him on their vacation. She didnt expect him to work so hard just for a romantic night together. He was working like a maniac. He had been a virgin for 29 years, after all. When he got home, he would shower and fall asleep right away.


    Luosang had expected him to sleep in the next day, but she was awakened by him early in the morning.


    Why didnt you pack any bikinis? Nian Junting was only wearing his pajama pants, so his sculpted upper body was exposed and naked. He was standing by the bed with his hair messy but his eyes focused.


    Luosang yawned and repliedzily, I didnt promise you that Id wear bikinis.


    Whats the point of going to the beach if you dont wear bikinis? Nian Junting looked at her and asked in frustration.


    Luosang was speechless. You are free to check out other hot babes.


    I only want to look at you. Nian Juntings eyes darkened.


    Look, if I wear a bikini, you wont allow me to go out in case other guys check me out. You only let me wear one-piece bathing suits when Im out. Im only bringing the bikini to wear in the room? Whats that for


    Come on, I booked a vi for our vacation. Theres a private pool there. You can swim there in your bikini, Nian Junting said meaningfully.


    Luosang closed her eyes and said angrily, Youre taking everything off in the vi anyway. I wont need to wear anything.


    Nian Junting was stunned, but he broke into augh. I didnt know you were considering that. I like taking clothes off of you and the pleasure of undressing you myself.

 Chapter 453. Your EQ Has Finally Improved a Little

    Chapter 453. Your EQ Has Finally Improved a Little


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say. Nian Junting continued, Or you can keep it on. Well still be able to do what we should be doing, and itll be more exciting.


    Luo Sang blushed crimson as she couldnt bear listening to that. Mr. Nian, what is in your brain?


    Something dirty and something violent, of course, Nian Junting responded withposure. Or what did I work day and night for?


    Luo Sang didnt want to continue the conversation. Instead, she pulled the nket up and covered herself. Nian Junting stood by the bed for a while and then left.


    At nine oclock, when they had finished breakfast and were preparing to head to the airport, Nian Xi came over. Nian Junting frowned slightly when he saw her. What are you doing here? Why arent you spending time with Ji Chuan? he asked.


    Nian Xi curved her lips slightly downward. Brother, that wasnt something nice to hear. I know that youre going on a trip. You will be gone for at least a week, so I came here specially to wish you bon voyage. She then smiled, took out the camera, and said, By the way, Im gonna take a photo of you. This might be thest time I see you as a virgin.


    Luo Sang burst out inughter.


    Nian Junting immediately looked sullen, as he even wanted to throw his little sister into outer space. Dont gossip if you dont know anything. Ive done it many times! The number is even higher than the number of your age.


    Did you hear that, my future sister-inw? Nian Xi winked at Luo Sang.


    Luo Sang had no idea how to go on with this awkward conversation. Alright, we should get going. Well bring you a gift.


    It was a long journey to the Whitsunday Inds. Luo Sang barely nned a thing. After arriving at the airport, she simply followed behind Nian Junting. As they passed through the security check, Nian Junting abruptly paused, looked at her, and said, Didnt you bring condoms? I didnt see any just now when we were passing the security check. Did you put them in your suitcase?


    I didnt bring any, Luo Sang responded. She surely wouldnt have brought condoms. Before she had left, Yan Su had strongly suggested that she bring some, but she had steadfastly refused.


    I thought you would bring some, so I didnt bring any myself, Nian Junting said with a frown. Dont you want to use condoms? Well, that would be ufortable indeed.


    Luo Sang wanted to die as Nian Junting was talking to her about using condoms in the busy airport. Like youve ever used condoms, she said.


    Nian Junting nced at her and said, I havent, but I can imagine.


    Luo Sang sighed. They hadnt left Xia City yet, but she was already feeling so tired. I think You shouldnt always think about that. Its our first vacation away together. There will be lots of things that we can enjoy slowly, like watching the sunset, having a candlelight dinner at the seaside, or walking on the beach, lots of things.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment, then nodded and said, Youre right. Theres a supermarket near the vi that I booked for us. We can shop for food together, and then youll cook for me. Mentioning cooking, he paused slightly, as he worried that Luo Sang might be unhappy to hear that, so he added, Or, I can cook for you.


    Luo Sang was delighted. They had been boyfriend and girlfriend for quite a while, and finally, his EQ has improved a little.


    In the next ten hours, the two of them flew to Melbourne, then changed nes for the flight to Hamilton Ind. After arriving at the airport on the ind and getting into the car the hotel had sent to pick them up, Luo Sang was so tired that she couldnt even keep her eyes open.


    Seeing her like that, Nian Junting felt a little guilty. Do you think I should consider buying a private jet so we wont be so tired when we travel again?


    Luo Sang hurriedly tried to make him give up the idea. I dont think you need to do that. You need to apply with the airlines if youre traveling by private jet. Flying abroad would be even moreplicated. Besides, youd need to hire reliable pilots. Youd be worrying whether or not the pilots were reliable enough.

 Chapter 454. We Just Arrived, Are You Going To…

    Chapter 454. We Just Arrived, Are You Going To��


    Nian Junting thought for a second and agreed with her. A whileter, he said, Then well talk about that when we have kids.


    Luosang was a little speechless, but also felt sweet.


    Wee to Hamilton Ind. The Chinese tour guide in the car smiled. Youre a new couple, here for a honeymoon, arent you? You seem to be deeply in love with each other. Ive never seen a Chinese couple who is such a perfect match and is as close as you are.


    Nian Junting smiled. He then opened his wallet, took out some cash, handed it to the tour guide, and said, Nice talk, heres your tip.


    Luosang nced at the thin stack of cash. Those were Australian 100 dor bills, at least 1,000 in total. She felt that her heart was even bleeding. What did he say? Why did you give him so much money? She didnt understand.


    The tour guide paused for a second, then hurriedly took the cash and thanked him repeatedly. After that, he spent about ten minutesplimenting Nian Junting and Luosang, even praising Luosangs clothes. At that, Luosang couldnt bear listening anymore, so she changed the topic and asked the tour guide about the scenic spots near the ind.


    Speaking of scenic spots, you have to visit Heart Reef. Youll be stunned when overlooking the sea view from the ne. ording to the legends, the lovers who see Heart Reef together will be happy forever, said the tour guide.


    Really? Then we have to see it. Nian Junting held Luosangs hand tightly and looked at her without blinking. Luosang felt shy under his gaze, so she hurriedly turned her face away to look outside the window.


    On the way to the hotel, the tour guide talked about the history of the ind and its previous owner. After hearing that, Nian Junting asked Luosang a question. Do you want me to buy you an ind?


    From buying a ne to buying an ind Luosang now worried that he might suggest buying Hamilton Ind if this topic continued. Are you here for shopping or vacation? she asked.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting finally stopped talking.


    When it was almost dark, they checked in at the hotel. They booked a vi with an infinity pool, a balcony, and a beach. Luosang liked the vi very much. The view from the balcony was already stunning. Without question, the views at the scenic spots would be even more beautiful.


    While she was enjoying the scenery, Nian Junting suddenly scooped her up. Luosang uttered a scream and hurriedly put her arms around his neck. Nian Junting walked into the bedroom with big steps, then put her on the bed. Luosang tightened her body and stuttered, We just arrived, are you going to I havent even had dinner yet


    What are you thinking about? Nian Junting pinched her nose and said, Didnt you say that youre tired? I carried you in so you can rest. Just get some sleep. Later Ill call room service. After filling your belly, well sleep. Tomorrow, well go out for diving.


    Luosang sighed in relief. Thankfully, he didnt ask to make love with her tonight. At the moment, she had no spare energy at all, so she guessed that she would act like a dead fish during lovemaking.


    He actually cared if she was tired, even though he was so looking forward to sex. Luosang was really touched. She reached out her arms to hold his arm, saying, Lets get some sleep together.


    Alright. Nian Junting was actually even more tired than she was. They bothid down and soon fell asleep. They nned to take only a nap, but when they woke up, it was already midnight.


    Nian Junting tried to wake Luosang up to have some food, but she refused to get up and even wrapped herself up with the nket to keep herself from being bothered by him.


    When she woke up again, it was already the next day. She didnt know when Nian Junting had gotten up, but she woke up to see him in shorts and a white T-shirt, looking quite energetic. It was the first time she had seen him in casual wear. He looked five or six years younger than before, and that made Luosang freeze for a moment with surprise.


    You see me every day, but why do you still look so infatuated with me? Nian Junting was very satisfied with the way she gazed at him.

 Chapter 455. Its the First Time Ive Seen You in a Summer Dress

    Chapter 455. It''s the First Time I''ve Seen You in a Summer Dress


    Thats not true. Luo Sang blushed and said, I just like the suit that youre wearing now.


    Nian Junting chuckled and responded, My perfect body shape made it look good.


    Im going to take a shower, Luo Sang said as she got up from the bed.


    Since they hade to the seaside where she could wear dresses, Luo Sang would surely make herself look stunning. She picked an ethnic-styled, long, red cotton dress. It was difficult for most of the other girls to look nice in that dress. However, Luo Sang was tall and slim, along with having snow-white skin, long, shiny hair, and a young, pretty face. She captured Nian Juntings heart as she came out of the dressing room.


    Nian Junting was going toin about Luo Sang not wearing a swimsuit, but after seeing her in that dress, he immediately shut his mouth. He sat quietly beside her, watching her do her skincare process and makeup.


    When Luo Sang started applying foundation under her eyes, he was still watching her, and she couldnt help but blush. Can you go to the balcony to eat your breakfast? she said.


    No, I want to look at you. Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her. Its the first time Ive seen you in a summer dress. How can you be so beautiful? Why didnt I meet you in the summer?


    Luo Sangs face turned so red that no foundation could hide it.


    Why are you wearing foundation? Nian Junting continued, Youre already so pretty.


    Because I didnt rest well on the nes on our way here, so I have these dark circles under my eyes, Luo Sang responded shyly, pretending to not hear thest part of what Nian Junting had said.


    Yeah? But youre so beautiful. Even the dark circles look good on your face. Stop doing your makeup. I like you natural. Nian Junting took away her foundation. But were going to diveter. Is it okay for you to wear this?


    I wore the swimsuit underneath. Because of what Nian Junting had said, Luo Sang didnt insist on finishing her makeup.


    Afterwards, they sat on the balcony to have breakfast together. The sea breeze was gentle, and the green seawater was crystal clear. Two parrotsnded on their table to peck at food. Breakfast was delicious, and Luo Sang hadnt been so rxed in a long time.


    However, thinking about divingter, she got a little nervous and uneasy. Later, can you dive alone? Ill wait for you on the beach. Ive only tried snorkeling before. Im afraid that I cant dive deep.


    Why didnt you tell me that earlier? Nian Junting asked.


    I didnt want to disappoint you, but I really have no courage to dive deep. Luo Sang sighed helplessly. Although I know that the underwater world is beautiful.


    Yeah, its beautiful, with the fish and coral. You should try. But if you really cant do it, well just forget about it. After saying that, Nian Junting ate a piece of pineapple with an unhappy face.


    And, theres another thing Luo Sang hesitated for a moment and then said, I know that youre rich, but you dont need to give the others such a big tip just because theyve said something that you like to hear. You shouldnt waste your money like that.


    I wont give my money to just anyone, unless they say that were a sweet couple, or that we love each other, said Nian Junting carelessly.


    If every staff member on the ind said that to you, would you pay them all? Maybe theyll figure out what you like and say the words on purpose. Ill bet thatter on our way to the diving spot, the tour guide will say those words endlessly, said Luo Sang.


    Nian Junting thought for a few seconds, and then pushed his wallet to her and said, Youll be responsible for all of it.


    I didnt mean that


    I dont care. From this day on, youll be responsible for the cost. After saying that, Nian Junting leisurely turned away to feed the parrots.


    Luo Sang found this both delightful and annoying. If she had known how he was going to react, she wouldnt have said it.

 Chapter 456. Marry Me

    Chapter 456. Marry Me


    After breakfast, they went diving. On the way, the Chinese tour guide continued topliment the two of them on how well suited they were to each other, just as Luosang said he would. This time, Luosang didnt tip him. The tour guide seemed to be disappointed and stoppedplimenting them endlessly. Nian Junting was disappointed as well.


    They went out to sea on a private yacht. Luosang took out her phone to take pictures of herself and Nian Junting, and then they started taking pictures of each other. Luosang was not quite satisfied with Nian Juntings photography skill, as she thought that she didnt look good enough in the photos he took.


    Unlike her, Nian Junting was very satisfied with the photos he took. He even set one of Luosangs photos as the wallpaper on his phone, and then made Luosang set one of his photos as her wallpaper. He also changed his WeChat profile picture to a photo of himself and Luosang. After that, he still felt like it was not enough. So, he posted nine pictures on his WeChat Moments. In less than five minutes, a series ofpliments was seen under those pictures.


    You two are so pretty


    Such a perfect match


    Mr. Nian, your girlfriend is gorgeous


    So happy


    Before long, dozens ofments were left for those pictures. Nian Junting was very pleased, so he kept checking his WeChat Moment from time to time.


    Luosang was quite speechless. She had never seen a man who enjoyed posting pictures on WeChat so much. She remembered that Nian Junting wasnt keen on WeChat Moments before, but after they became boyfriend and girlfriend, he changed drastically.


    She silently wondered if the people who had seen his WeChat Moments would think that she had their boss enchanted. Atst, she checked her WeChat Moment and saw CEO Nian had replied to all thements  Thank you for the good words.


    She didnt know what to say about it.


    As they arrived at the diving spots, quite a few yachts had berthed nearby. This ce was a popr diving spot. Many people had already begun diving. However, Luosangs legs went limp the moment she saw the boundless ocean.


    Nian Junting jumped into the water and taught her what to do. She gave it a try, but then gave up. Due to her poor physical conditioning, she felt quite stressed, so she refused to try diving again. However, she was willing to do some snorkeling. She didnt see the coral, but the seawater was limpid, so she was able to see all sorts of beautiful little fish swimming past her. She spent a while watching the fish, then raised her head to find Nian Junting looking at her painfully.


    Whats wrong? Just leave me here. Go dive and have fun. We donte here every day, said Luosang.


    Then you watch me go down, said Nian Junting. Ill bring you some fish. After saying that, he dove into the water. Luosang watched him diving toward the bottom of the sea until she couldnt see him anymore.


    A whileter, she suddenly saw himing up with two diving instructors, followed by a shoal of fish with white and yellow stripes. She was stunned by this breathtakingly beautiful scene that she had never seen before.


    Before touching the waters surface, Nian Junting suddenly paused and took out a champagne rose from God knew where. After that, the diving instructor beside him spread a banner. The words on the banner were Marry Me. The other instructor raised another bannerI am fond of you.


    That happened so suddenly, Luosang was astonished. She thought that her eyes were blurred, so she hurriedly raised her head from the water. Soon after, Nian Junting bobbed up, took off the oxygen mask, and looked at her while gasping. Why did you suddenly raise your head? We spent a great effort to drive those fishes between us. Talk. Seawater streamed down Nian Juntings handsome face.


    Why did you suddenly propose Luosang stuttered.


    Your virginity is so precious, so I surely need to purpose to you before having sex with you, or Id be acting like an indecent man. Nian Junting gazed at her seriously.

 Chapter 457. Youre Holding Me So Tightly, Like a Little Girl

    Chapter 457. You''re Holding Me So Tightly, Like a Little Girl


    Under the sunlight, the water drops on his face glistened brightly. They dazzled Luo Sangs eyes and made her feel dizzy. Her heart raced. When she had decided to give him her virginity, she had spent a long time preparing herself mentally. However, she didnt expect that he would actually think more of her, and that he didnt want her to experience any tiny loss.


    In fact, whether in terms of family background or ability, he was excellent. A man like Nian Junting could be with a woman who was way better than Luo Sang, but he was so nice to Luo Sang.


    Luo Sang had had many unhappy experiences, but now she believed that God had made her live through all the unluckiness just so she could meet Nian Junting, a better man.


    Can you not be so touched and look at me without tearful eyes? Agree first. The waiting made Nian Junting anxious. He had been through a lot of big asions, but he was still nervous, as this was the first time he had proposed to someone.


    Who has tearful eyes? Its because of the seawater. Luo Sang swam to his side, took the champagne and roses from his hands, gave him a beautiful grin, and said, Yes.


    The nearby divers who had had their eyes on them immediately apuded and even started chanting, Kiss, kiss, kiss


    Only after hearing that did Luo Sang realize that there were many people looking at her and Nian Junting. She instantly blushed.


    You see, they all want us to kiss. Nian Junting smiled, put an arm around her waist, and aggressively pressed his wet lips against hers. The waves carried them up and down. Before this, Nian Juntings kisses had always made Luo Sang feel like she was showering in ocean waves, and now, it was really happening. In fact, this kiss now was like a sea storm. She tasted the salty sea water from his lips and mouth.


    After that kiss, she felt terribly dizzy. With no other choice, she coiled her limbs around his body like an octopus. Nian Junting chuckled with satisfaction and said, Things are different now that youve said yes to my proposal. Youre holding me so tightly, like a little girl.


    Seeing his proud face, Luo Sang regretted epting his proposal so soon. Im tired, okay. Swimming in the sea is very energy consuming, and I also had to have such a crazy kiss with you.


    Dont worry, Ill be all yours from this moment on. You can hold me in whatever way you like. Nian Junting abruptly lifted her up and exposed her upper body in the air.


    This gave Luo Sang a start, and she hurriedly put her arms around his neck and said, Alright, stop. People are watching. You proposed to me, so wheres the ring?


    Dont worry, I have the ring. Ill put it on your finger. Nian Junting began rummaging through his diving suit with a very proud smile, but soon, the smile froze on his face.


    Luo Sang spent a while quietly watching him look all over for the ring, then said, You didnt lose it, did you?


    Nian Juntings face turned extremely dark. He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life. He had proposed to a girl, yet the ring was missing. It probably fell into the sea when I swam up earlier. Nian Junting nced downward and said, Ill go down and find it.


    Dont, its too dangerous, Luo Sang stopped him.


    Its okay, Im very strong, said Nian Junting. I almost touched the bottom of the sea just now.


    Diving to the bottom of the sea and trying to find something down there are two very different things. Luo Sang refused to let him go. There are many scary things at the bottom of the sea. What if they entangle your feet? Youre not a professional diver. I dont want an ident to happen to you right after weve gotten engaged. After all, itd be a little hard for me to find a man as good as you.

 Chapter 458. He Mustnt Let Her Get Drunk Tonight

    Chapter 458. He Mustn''t Let Her Get Drunk Tonight


    Ive just proposed to you, and now you want to find another man? Nian Junting instantly pulled a long face. Im not going.


    That was exactly what Luosang wanted. After nodding, she asked, What was it like? How many carats?


    Neen, Nian Junting responded, upset. It means longsting love, perfect love.


    Neen carats Luosang felt dizzy just hearing that number. Did she just miss a 19-carat diamond ring, which was worth over $100,000,000? God, what mistake have I made in my previous life that caused me to lose such a precious ring?


    A whileter, Luosang said, Maybe you should still go down there and try to find it


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say. Who just said that it would be dangerous?


    You see, it means longsting love and perfect love. Its really important for what it means, Lusoang mumbled.


    Are you sure you want me to find it because of its meaning, not because youve just learned about the 19 carats? Nian Junting sneered.


    Luosang coughed. Of course not. Am I that kind of person?


    Nian Junting looked at her coldly until she became unconfident. However, they both hadplicated feelings after all that had happened. Atst, Nian Junting asked the diving instructors to find the ring. They spent a while trying, but failed. In the end, they made a detour to visit Heart Reef both happily and sadly.


    The beautiful view from the airne slightly eased Luosangs regret, but Nian Junting still looked unhappy. That was the first proposal of his life, yet he lost the ring. Proposing in the sea was not a good idea. Only until they were heading back to the hotel did he be excited again. He had been waiting too long for tonight.


    Back at the hotel, he had a quick shower, then brought Luosang to the supermarket. He nned to prepare a candlelight dinner with Luosang by themselves, and then after dinnerThey would directly start doing the most important thing.


    Luosang supported his idea. However, she started backing out when seeing all the strange food at the supermarket.


    This fish looks nice. Nian Junting bent over and picked up an odd-looking fish.


    I dont know how to cook it, said Luosang.


    How bout this meat?


    Ive never seen it before.


    This crab


    I dont know what kind of crab it is


    Howe you dont know anything? Nian Junting frowned.


    Luosang was displeased. I only know how to make some homestyle dishes. Im not a chef from a five-star hotel.


    You should learn to cook when we get back, Nian Junting suggested.


    Do you not want to sleep in bed tonight? Luosang gave him a cold nce.


    Nian Junting immediately shut up. Atst, they went to the hotel with two steaks and a frozen pizza. This time, Luosang didnt let Nian Junting cook. She prepared the wine and steak herself, and then the two of them started dinner on the wooden table by the pool. The hotel had beautiful lights, so candles werent needed. Under the starlight, Luosang felt drunk even before tasting any wine.


    Cheers. Luosang raised the wine ss.


    You can only take one sip, Nian Junting reminded her again and again. He believed that he mustnt let her get drunk tonight, because he had experienced thatst time.


    You dont need to remind me. I wont get drunk. She was awfully embarrassed because of what happenedst time.


    She took a sip of the wine, then put down the ss and started enjoying the sea view and the steak. Soon after she started eating, she found that Nian Junting had already finished the whole steak.

 Chapter 459. Why Did You Put Me up Here?

    Chapter 459. Why Did You Put Me up Here?


    Luo Sang paused and said, Why did you eat so quickly?


    I finished it because its delicious. Nian Junting stared at her like she was a piece of meat on a chopping board. You should eat quickly as well. Itll taste bad when it gets cold.


    Luo Sang didnt believe him at all. She had never seen him eat so quickly before. She cut and chewed the steak very slowly and carefully. As the gaze from the man sitting in front of her was getting more and more passionate, she became even more nervous, and her face turned redder and redder under the dim light. Thankfully, the dim light perfectly hid the redness in her cheeks.


    After finishing the steak, she began drinking juice.The night breeze blew across her shiny hair, and the hair whisked around her snow-white neck in a naughty manner, making her look especially attractive. Looking at her, Nian Junting felt that his heart was tingling because of those few strands of hair. He had always felt that she was beautiful, but tonight, he found her even prettier than usual. He just wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her as hard as he could.


    After finishing the juice, Luo Sang stood up to tidy up the table. Nian Junting followed behind her. While she was washing the dishes, he put his arms around her from behind and slowly kissed her neck. He wouldnt forget that just now, her hair had been stroking this area to allure him.


    She had just taken a shower and had used the custom shampoo provided by the hotel. The floral fragrance in her hair was a little rich, but he liked it. He wanted to breathe deeply to inhale it, and he felt like he could never get enough of it.


    His kiss made Luo Sangs neck tingle, and that tingly feeling spread to her entire body. The dish in her hands even began shaking. Can you let me finish the dishes?


    You do the dishes, and Ill do the kisses. Whats wrong with that? Nian Junting continued in a husky voice, What is this shampoo fragrance? It smells so good. We should buy some of that shampoo from the hotel.


    Luo Sang blushed as she nced back at him and said, Thats my perfume.


    Nian Junting blinked and asked, Why havent you worn it before?


    Luo Sangs face became even redder. She turned her face away and didnt say anything.


    You wore it for me tonight, to heighten the atmosphere, right? Nian Juntings heart flipped. He immediately lifted Luo Sang up and put her on the kitchen counter in excitement.


    Why did you put me up here? Luo Sang was startled. She had heard that some people liked to have sex in the kitchen. Put me down. I havent finished the dishes.


    Youve seduced me. I cant wait anymore. Nian Junting shook his head.


    How did I seduce you? I was washing the dishes. Luo Sang felt a little embarrassed.


    Nian Junting smiled and said, Didnt you wear the perfume to seduce me?


    I remember that you used to hate women wearing perfume. Luo Sang curved her lips downward and said, When you were in the hospital for your rehabilitation therapy, youined about the doctors perfume. You said that the whole room was filled with that smell.


    It happened so long ago. Are you still jealous? Nian Junting lowered his head to look at her, wearing a big smile. Ive even forgotten what she looked like. I only remember your jealous face at the time.


    Luo Sang was a little speechless. She hadnt liked him back then, so how could she have had a jealous face? I was looking at my phone at the time. I didnt even look at you two.


    Because you didnt dare to? Nian Junting asked in an affectionate tone.


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say.


    Luo, shes doesnt even have hair as good as yours. After meeting you, I realized that I hated women wearing strong perfumes only because they werent you, said Nian Junting in a deep voice.


    Hearing that, Luo Sangs heart thumped.

 Chapter 460. Dont Turn On the Light. Im Shy…

    Chapter 460. Don''t Turn On the Light. I''m Shy��


    That wasso touching. Did he actually have honey for dinner instead of steak? Luosang felt that she really couldnt keep washing the dishes and pretending nothing had happened. Neither could Nian Junting let her go back to the dishes. He lowered his head to kiss her passionately.


    He held her firmly with one arm, while his other hand went to her back and unzipped her dress. When her dress quickly fell to the floor, he silently praised himself for making a good decision toe to the seaside for vacation. The weather was hot, so people wore less clothing. For that reason, he was able to strip her so conveniently and quickly. It was perfect for beginners like him.


    Um wait Luosang dodged his kiss and stuttered, Were on the kitchen counter Is this good?


    Cant we do it here? Nian Junting had fire in his eyes.


    Luosangs heart missed a beat. Having her first time on the kitchen counter? That was way too wild, and she didnt think she could ept it. Its our first time Cant we do it in a normal way? she said.


    Silly, I was kidding. Ill put you on the bedter. Trust yourself with me. Nian Junting smiled. His handsome face was filled with a pleased look.


    Luosang spent about ten seconds gazing into his eyes, then took a deep breath, nodded, and put her arms around his neck. He lost a super expensive ring today, and that made him seem to be unreliable, but she believed that he was normally a reliable person.


    Nian Junting lowered his head slightly and kissed her again. As their lips pressed on each other, the passionate love immediately set both Luosangs body and heart on fire, making her limbs go limp. Nian Junting seized the opportunity to kiss her exposed skin. She was still sitting on the kitchen counter, so he could kiss her entire body very easily.


    As he kissed her lower legs, Luosang felt as if her soul had escaped her body. They had lots of physical intimacy before, and thanks to that, he knew everything about the sensitive areas of her body.


    The lights above the kitchen counter shone on her jadelike skin. Nian Juntings eyes turned so dark. He couldnt hold back anymore, so he lifted her and headed toward the bedroom.


    The lights in the bedroom were off. The bright moonlight and the light from the backyard poured in, dimly illuminating the room. Nian Junting reached out a hand to turn on the light, but Luosang hurriedly stopped him and said shyly in a low voice, Dont, dont turn on the light, Im shy


    Whats to be shy about? Ive already seen every part of you, said Nian Junting without thinking.


    I am shy. Do you have a problem with that? Luosang pinched his waist crossly.


    The pain shut Nian Junting up. He decided to leave the lights off.


    After putting her on the bed, he kneeled by her side, slowly taking off his clothes.


    She had never been so shy. Luosang blushed and turned her face away, as if it was her first time seeing his body. She didnt look at him until he slowlyid upon her. Her heart thumped, and her entire body was trembling.


    He felt how nervous she was. With patience, heforted her and kissed her, and didnt make the final pration until she waspletely rxed. He had secretly read some guides beforeing here. However, as it was the first time for both of them, problems still urred.


    Wait, it hurts. Not there, Luosang moaned in a low voice.


    I cant see clearly, Nian Juntingined.


    After spending a while trying, Luosang suddenly found that Nian Juntings entire body had stiffened. She was puzzled for a second, then asked, Are youdone?

 Chapter 461. Im Hungry

    Chapter 461. I''m Hungry


    Nian Junting clenched his teeth and looked at her.


    Luo Sang burst outughing and said, Didnt you always brag about your sexual endurance? Didnt you say that you can seckill[1] the others in that area?


    I didnt lie. I was nervous because it was my first time. We should have kept the light on, Nian Junting said as he turned on the bedsidemp.


    Luo Sang covered her face as the light pierced her eyes. Her body was pink, and her voice was as slight as the voice of a mosquito. Maybe we should try it again some other time?


    No need. Im alive again. Nian Junting snorted coldly, fell on top of her, and began biting her lips.


    Luo Sang gaped. Its too soon. Not even lightning is as quick as you.


    As I said, I can seckill the others. Nian Junting snorted.


    This time, as the light was on, Nian Junting washed away all the shame. At first, it was very painful for Luo Sang. Nian Junting had done a lot of preparation, but still, Luo Sang bit his shoulder because of the pain.


    He bent over and lowered his head to find her lips with his, then he kissed her gently with extra patience. Only after she gradually rxed did he free his own body. After that, Luo Sang felt as though she were being thrown on top of a giant wave and then into the clouds.


    They had done intimate things before. However, after this really happened, they realized that what they had done before was nothing real. When the real thing happened, the pleasure was so strong that their minds were even blurred. Of course, Luo Sang felt like weeping, but she had no tears when the pleasure went beyond the limit.


    Her eyes stayed dry, especially when Nian Junting kept asking her a series of questions, probably because of the shame that he felt after the first try.


    Did I seckill Yi Jingxi?


    Did I seckill Chi Shengxu?


    Are they as good as I am?


    Are they better than I am?


    Luo Sang even wanted to kill this shameless guy. God knew if they were good or not. She had never slept with another man. He was so unreasonable. She did nothing butugh at him just now. She couldnt help it. Sheughed at him because he always bragged. The facts proved that no one should give a man verbal stimtion about his sexual capacity.


    When it was finally done, Luo Sang felt drained. She couldnt even lift her limbs. She had gone many ces today and had also tried diving, so she was already exhausted. Now, her whole body was sore. She wanted very much to sleep but didnt let herself, because she was hungry.


    As Nian Junting wiped her body with a warm towel, she raised her red face, looked at him with a pair of pitiful, watery eyes, and said to him in aining tone of voice, Im hungry.


    Nian Junting was a little stunned. I dont think you should make it so intense the first time. I dont want you to get hurt.


    Luo Sang blushed scarlet. What are you thinking about? I mean that empty-stomach kind of hungry, she said grumpily.


    I see. Nian Junting now understood her. He knew that she had a great appetite, but he hadnt expected it to be so great. Didnt you just have steak?


    That was an hour and a half ago, Luo Sangined. I was washing dishes and doing sports during the past hour. Of course Im hungry. Besides, the steak didnt fill me up.


    So its been that long. Im amazing. Nian Junting paused for a second, then had a proud look on his handsome face. In this case, its reasonable for you to be hungry.


    Luo Sang hated to admit it, but the sex didst a pretty long time. He was worthy of being a former special forces soldier and a freak who was able to easily dive 20 meters deep to the bottom of the sea.


    Ill call the restaurant and tell them to send us some food. Nian Junting got off the bed and called the restaurant in the hotel to order some midnight snacks.


    [1] The word seckill originated from the online game, Legends and is a gaming term meaning, to defeat your enemy within seconds.

 Chapter 462. Do You Think I Can Get a Full Mark?

    Chapter 462. Do You Think I Can Get a Full Mark?


    The midnight snacks served in foreign hotels werent as rich as those served in Chinese hotels. There were only some desserts, grilled meat, sausages, chips, and noodles. However, Luosang didnt care what those foods were, as she believed that she could eat everything at the moment.


    Nian Junting wasnt hungry. He watched Luosang finish a giant burger, then a souffl, and then some spaghetti. He always knew that she was a person with a great appetite, but he still was surprised. He guessed what he had done to her just now had cost her quite a lot of energy, and believed it also meant he was too good.


    Finished eating, Luosang went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. When changing the sheet, Nian Junting stared at the striking bloodstain on it, his eyes showing a gentle and sweet look.


    At ten oclock that night, Luosang tossed and turned on the bed. She thought that she would fall asleep very soon after lovemaking, yet she just couldnt sleep.


    Whats wrong? Are you okay? Nian Junting nervously put an arm around her body. He had heard that it was easy for women to get hurt during the first time they had sexual intercourse. He had tried to be gentle, but failed to control himself before finishing. Also, sheined about the pain the whole time.


    I cant sleep. Im thinking about the diamond ring. Luosang sighed. That ring was worth more than $100,000,000. How could she possibly fall asleep while thinking about that? She would never be able to afford it by herself, not even if she devoted her whole life to making money.


    Speaking of the ring, Nian Junting was quite unhappy as well. Rx, Ill buy you another one.


    Its not about you buying me another one. Luosang turned around to face him, then bit her lips and said, Its a painful story about me losing $100,000,000.


    Nian Junting pinched her nose with a grin and said, You have me. That means you have tens of billions. Whats to be upset about? Dont be so stingy. That wasnt a big sum of money. I can earn it back in one or two months.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She really didnt want to talk to him at that moment. Sometimes, people could be really upset whenparing themselves with others.


    Shouldnt you be thinking about our first time, and now youre too excited to sleep right now? Nian Junting narrowed his eyes. Or feeling lucky for having a man with such a great sexual ability? Also, you can still feel it, cant you? Earlier, you were so excited that you even cried.


    Enough, stop mentioning it. Luosang hurriedly covered his mouth. Her face blushed scarlet, and she refused to recall that. That was definitely not me, she thought.


    Why cant I mention it? I think we need tomunicate about it. Nian Junting pulled her hand away with a serious look, then said, How do you think I should improve?


    Luosang stayed silent. How could she possibly say that out loud? She blushed again.


    Youre not saying anything, so do you think I can get a full mark? Nian Juntings eyes glowed brightly.


    No said Luosang without thinking.


    Tell me then.


    As Nian Junting insisted on making her say something, Luosang had no choice but to respond, I, I think you did it too fast.


    Is anything wrong with doing it fast?


    Um I couldnt take it, Luosang stuttered.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment, then smiled. Thats not my problem. Thats your problem. Youre in poor physical condition. I told you to do some exercises, but you wouldnt listen. So earlier, you werent able to keep up with my pace for the important moment. Never mind, Ill do sports with you when I have the time. But of course, well only be doing sports in bed.


    Luosang gave up on the conversation. She turned around and buried her face in the nket, as she was too shy to talk to him. Nian Junting put his arms around her from behind and put his face near the back of her neck.


    He felt especially satisfied.

 Chapter 463. Now I Love to Watch You Eat

    Chapter 463. Now I Love to Watch You Eat


    The next day, Luo Sang woke up in Nian Juntings arms. She had awakened with his arms around her countless times before but had never felt so close to him. He was the first man that she had had sex with. Even thinking about it made her face blush and heart race. She was dazed slightly when she raised her head to look at his delicate face and straight nose.


    Years ago, she had been engaged to Yi Jingxi and had thought that she would spend the rest of her life with him. She had never thought that she would meet Nian Junting and willingly give him her virginity. She had no regrets. She believed everyone would be cherished by someone at some point in their lives. She also believed that he was the one.


    Suddenly, he moved slightly. Luo Sang hurriedly turned her face away and closed her eyes. A whileter, she heard his shallow breathing above her head, and then, a warm kissnded on her forehead. She felt him gently move his arms from around her and then get off the bed as quiet as a mouse. His careful moves made Luo Sang feel that he was slightly sweet, and that she hadnt suffered that awful painst night for nothing.


    As he left the room, Luo Sang opened her eyes. She stayed in bed for a few minutes before getting up. Once she got on her feet, her legs began shaking. It was so painful. She felt like she had just finished a marathon. She also still felt severe pain in her private area.


    She managed to walk out of the bedroom. In the living room, she heard Nian Junting talking on the phone. Send us breakfast early My wife will get hungry once she wakes up. Send us extra food. My wife eats like a horse Well take four servings


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    As Nian Junting ended the call, he raised his head to see Luo Sang standing by the door. Her hair was disheveled and slightly messy. However, because of her great skin and pretty face, she still looked beautiful with that messy hair. She was a little pale though, and he couldnt help wanting to show her tender care upon seeing her.


    Nian Junting stood up and walked over to her. While brushing her hair with his fingers, he said to her affectionately, Why dont you get some more sleep?


    Luo Sang looked up at him and said, What did you say to the hotel staff just now? What does, my wife eats like a horse mean? She had just woken up, and her eyes were still watery. Added to herining tone, she was almost grumbling in a flirtatious manner.


    Nian Junting, who had had sex for the first time yesterday, felt his lower stomach tighten. At that very moment, he had an impulse to throw her onto the bed again. Dont you eat like a horse?


    Luo Sang sighed. I do eat a lot, but you dont need to tell others about it.


    Nian Junting proudly put his arm around her slim waist and said, Whats wrong with that? Its lucky for girls to have great appetites. How much luck have I umted to meet a great eater like you?


    Luo Sangughed. I wonder who used to say that I know nothing but eating, like some kind of animal.


    Nian Junting blinked and hurriedly exined, In fact, I had a dream. I always wanted to have a happy little piglet and to give her all the best things I have. Now, that dream has been fulfilled.


    Luo Sang smiled and couldnt help but put her arms around his neck. What is going on with you? Why are your words so sweet now?


    Nian Junting lowered his head and put his nose against hers. As their breath mixed together, he said, Im not sure. I felt annoyed watching you eat before, but now, I just love it.


    Luo Sang burst out inughter, feeling sweet.


    We should stay around here today, just walk on the beach nearby and rest for a day. Well visit White Beach tomorrow, said Nian Junting.


    Luo Sang was surprised and very touched. How did you know that Im tired? Why are you suddenly so considerate?

 Chapter 464. I Cant Bear the Pain of Losing You

    Chapter 464. I Can''t Bear the Pain of Losing You


    I am a considerate person. Nian Junting didnt agree with the way Luosang asked that question.


    Luosang smiled without saying anything.


    A whileter, Nian Junting added, Nian Xi said that the first time having sexual intercourse can be difficult for almost all women, as it might cause the waist and back to be sore. Ive thought about that. Im much stronger than ordinary men, so you should be even more exhausted than women usually would be.


    Im sorry, I dont really know how strong ordinary men are. Luosang curved her lips downwards, as she didnt see a way of making thisparison.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment and then said, Roughly speaking, Im three times stronger.


    Luosang rubbed her nose, saying, Nian Xi knows so well about a womans first time having sexual intercourse. Does that mean that she has already done it with Ji Chuan


    No, said Nian Junting without thinking.


    Luosang responded, How do you know? Like youve been living under their bed.


    They havent even gotten married, so how can they have a shared bed? Nian Junting snorted coldly. If Ji Chuan attempted to touch my sister before marrying her, Id break his legs.


    Luosang wanted tough but also felt a little unhappy. But you touched me, and we arent married, either. I guess your sister is more precious to you than I am. Men are all selfish, she said.


    That is not true. I know myself. I am 100 percent sure that I will be responsible for you after having sex with you. However, Ji Chuan isnt me. Even though were good friends, I cant possibly know what exactly hes been thinking. Also, hes all about serving in the army now. If he refused toe back or sacrificed his life, Nian Xis virginity would be wasted. So, Ive threatened Ji Chuan that if he dares to touch Nian Xi before they get married, Ill no longer be his friend, said Nian Junting in a cold and deep voice.


    Luosang paused for a second. She even felt a little sorry for Feng Ji Chuan. That makes sense, but, its inappropriate to talk about your friend sacrificing his life, isnt it?


    Im telling the truth. Nian Junting knitted his eyebrows and wore aplicated expression. From the moment he became a special forces soldier, he should be ready to sacrifice his own life for the country. I was always ready. Butter on, an ident happened, and I lost the qualification to stay there.


    Luosang fell into silence for a short while, then picked up his hand and said, Now is good. I cant bear the pain of losing you.


    Nian Juntings eyes glowed. He abruptly dragged Luosang toward him and gave her a scorching hot kiss. Luosang hadnt brushed her teeth, so she didnt want to involve her tongue, yet he always knew how to break into her mouth. He didnt spare her from that kiss until her lips were red and swollen.


    What are you doing? We were talking. Why did you suddenly kiss me? Luosang red at him while rubbing her wet lips.


    You care so much about me. I was so touched, I couldnt control myself, Nian Junting responded with a smile.


    Luosangs face instantly started burning. Who cares about you? I dont even want to talk to you. As she turned around, Nian Junting followed closely behind her. What do you want? she asked.


    I want to see you, said Nian Junting in a bossy tone.


    You watched me the entire day yesterday. Luosang felt quite ufortable under his gaze.


    Yeah, what should I do? I just cant get tired of watching you. What exactly did you grow up on? Nian Junting said, confused.


    On rice, like you. Luosang found his question both funny and annoying. When she brushed her teeth, he washed his face beside her. While brushing her teeth, Luosang suddenly mumbled a question with toothpaste in her mouth, Thats not right. If Nian Xi hasnt had sexual intercourse for the first time, how could she know so clearly about all that?


    She said that she learned it from novels, said Nian Junting. She rmended a few segments about what CEOs and their girlfriends would do after they had sex, and Ive read those.

 Chapter 465. Are You Unhappy with My Current Breasts?

    Chapter 465. Are You Unhappy with My Current Breasts?


    Luo Sang spouted the water in her mouth.


    Nian Junting looked at her with a frown and asked, Why are you so exciting?


    Luo Sang coughed loudly and then replied, She made you read those kinds of things, and you did?


    Why not? You can learn from any books, even Jin Ping Mei[1] can teach you something valuable. Nian Junting nced at Luo Sang and said, I think those books are way better than the sweet-talk guides that Lu Kang bought me. You can even learn some sex positions from them. To be honest, I used to feel that they were boring, but now, I think those books have reflected some of the mindsets and desires of women.


    Luo Sang now understood why he had said so many pleasant words today. So after reading those books, have you discovered any differences between you and the CEOs in the books?


    Luo Sang was curious if Nian Junting had finally realized that CEOs were normally less talkative than he was and would never be so super-narcissistic.


    Nian Junting only thought for two seconds before answering the question. They arent as good as I am.


    Luo Sang couldnt think of a word to say.


    Nian Junting made his finalment. Theyre all shy on the outside but wild on the inside.


    Yeah, yeah, the others are wild on the inside, but youre wild on the outside, Luo Sang thought.


    But in fact, I didnt pay much attention to the characters. I mostly focused on the sex. Nian Junting continued, So it turns out that women like to do it from the back. I think you enjoyed itst night.


    Eh-hem-hem. Luo Sang was too shy to continue the topic. She should never have asked. I didnt enjoy it. You made me do itst night, Luo Sang said, blushing.


    You could have said no but didnt. On the contrary, you were quite cooperative, said Nian Junting.


    Luo Sang hurriedly washed her face with cold water to cool herself down. Take your time thinking about it alone. Im going for breakfast.


    Thankfully, breakfast was served quickly. At first, Luo Sang felt that Nian Junting had ordered too much food, but then, she discovered that she had eaten two and half servings


    Did I eat too much After breakfast, she was shocked by how much she had eaten.


    Dont you always eat like this? Nian Junting wasnt surprised. Fortunately, you dont gain weight easily.


    About that, Luo Sang shared the same opinion with him. If I get fat someday, will you dislike me? she asked.


    Ill be okay with it as long as your breasts get fat, too. Nian Junting abruptly gave a deep smirk.


    Luo Sang didnt understand why the conversation had suddenly turned a little dirty again. Are you unhappy with my current breasts?


    No, but Ill be cool with it if they be evenrger, Nian Junting said whilending his eyes on her chest.


    Luo Sang hurriedly stood up, saying, Lets go for a walk. Im stuffed.


    Shouldnt you be lying down, since youre too full? Nian Junting was a little confused.


    Im not a pig. Luo Sang was a little unhappy.


    No? There was a smile in Nian Juntings eyes.


    Hehe, dont you touch me today. Luo Sang pretended to be angry. She put on her sandals and walked toward the beach.


    Nian Junting closed the door, and then caught up with her and held her hands. Luo Sang threw off his hands and ran away. However, she only managed to get a few steps away before feeling like her legs were nearly disabled.


    Youre so silly. We had that intense sexst night, and now you just tried to run so fast. Nian Junting bent over in front of her and said, Here, Ill carry you.


    Luo Sang looked at his wide shoulders, hesitated for a few seconds, and then climbed onto his back. He had made her so tiredst night, so it was reasonable for him to carry her now.


    [1]Jin Ping Mei (Chinese:; pinyin:Jn Png Mi)  tranted into English as, The Plum in the Golden Vase or The Golden Lotus  is a Chinese naturalistic novelposed in vernacr Chinese during thete Ming Dynasty.

 Chapter 466. Xu Luosang Likes Pig

    Chapter 466. Xu Luosang Likes Pig


    Nian Junting carried her for a while. His slippers made walking difficult, so he threw them away and kept walking with bare feet. The sand on the beach was soft and fine, so he didnt feel any difort while walking.


    After a while, Luosang asked him to put her down. After that, they began frolicking on the beach. Luosang picked up a stick and wrote on the beach with itNian Junting is a pig.


    Nian Junting threw her a threatening nce. Luosang smiled and continued writingXu Luosang likes pig.


    Nian Junting gave a big smile. A whileter, he picked up a stick as well and wroteWere two piglets.


    Luosang smiled without letting him see. She turned around, put her arms around his waist, and buried her face deep in his arms. Nian Junting held her tight. The waves washed their legs.


    They had seafood for lunch at a Chinese restaurant that had many good reviews. They ordered the local specialty. The restaurant was located on a mountainside, so they enjoyed the jungle view during their lunch. However, they could still see the ocean if they looked far into the distance.


    While they were eating, Nian Junting got a call from Xiao Si. Ive seen your WeChat Moment. Youre having lunch on a mountain. The view is nice, said Xiao Si.


    Nian Junting nodded and responded, Yeah, this ce has a nice view.


    Xiao Siughed and asked, Hows the vacation? Are you having a good time?


    Nian Junting nced at Luosang, who was sitting in front of him and enjoying ice cream. He had never felt sofortable before. Sure. Its much more interesting than having a vacation with you, he said.


    Is it appropriate for you to say that? Xiao Si felt frustrated. If you think its interesting, just say that its interesting. Why do you have to bring me into it? I kindly went on vacation with you because you were bored being alone.


    I went on vacation with you, so Ive learned how boring it is to travel with guys. Nian Junting sighed. Honestly, its like hell and heaven.


    Xiao Si didnt know what to say. Hell That was such a hurtful metaphor.


    Dont be disappointed. When you go on a vacation with your future girlfriend, youll know what it feels like. Nian Junting chuckled. But sadly, your girlfriend is not likely to be as good as my Sangsang.


    Hm, I shouldnt have called to check on you. Bye. Before ending the call, Xiao Si added, Ugh, I almost forgot to tell you, Shuangwei ising back. Next Monday.


    Nian Juntings happy face instantly froze.


    Luosang noticed. Whats wrong? she asked.


    Nothing. Nian Junting dropped the phone and lowered his head to eat silently.


    Luosang spent a moment observing him, then felt that he had suddenly be weird. However, that weird mood he had didntst long. Soon enough, he turned back to normal.


    After lunch, they walked back to the hotel. Luosangid on the lounge chair on the balcony for a nap. The weather was hot, but the breeze was nice. Before long, Luosang fell asleep.


    While deeply asleep, she felt someone pinch her nose, which stopped her from breathing. She opened her eyes to see Nian Junting standing beside her. She hurriedly pushed him away andined, Why did you wake me up?


    Im going to swim, said Nian Junting.


    You can swim if you want to, but why did you wake me up? Luosang noticed that Nian Junting was wearing the swim trunks that she had bought for him from a shopping mall.


    He had taken off his shirt already. Yesterday, he had tanned a little. His bronzed skin had a healthy luster under the bright sunlight. Every single muscle of his was perfect. His hip was hugged tightly in the swim trunks, looking round and strong. His thighs were tight as well. His legs werent thickly haired. That perfect body shape of his could really make peoples faces blush and hearts thump, it also could lead people to imagine certain kinds of things. Luosangs face immediately started burning when her eyesnded on the bulging area in the middle of his swim trunks.

 Chapter 467. Am I Good?

    Chapter 467. Am I Good?


    What happenedst night reyed in Luo Sangs head, and she couldnt help it.


    Nian Junting sensitively grasped the look in her eyes. Do you need me to wear these swimming trunks or not? he asked with a proud smile.


    Luo Sang paused. He gave her a flirty wink and said, Theres just the two of us, so I can go naked.


    Luo Sang shivered, and her drowsiness was gone entirely. Why go naked? Are you crazy? she said.


    I thought you liked to see me naked, as you were staring at my crotch area just now. Nian Junting wore an innocent expression.


    I wasnt. Luo Sang blushed and immediately denied it.


    Your face sold you out. Nian Junting slowly pulled on the edge of his swim trunks to show her the beautiful curves inside.


    Dont you take that off. Luo Sang stood up from the chair, saying, If you take them off, Ill leave.


    I really dont understand women. Nian Junting shook his head and said, Would you like to join me?


    Luo Sang shook her head and replied, I dont have the strength for that. She didnt want to die in the pool.


    Then you can sit there and watch me. Dont go anywhere else, Nian Junting ordered.


    Why? Luo Sang wasnt happy about his bossy manner.


    Because you need to watch me. If youre not going to watch, why would I swim? He made himself sound very reasonable.


    Luo Sang covered her forehead with a hand and said, So, you didnt need to swim at all before you met me.


    Thats different. After I met you, I finally found the true meaning of swimming, Nian Junting responded proudly.


    What is it? Luo Sang felt ttered.


    To show you. After saying that, Nian Junting leaped into the water in a beautiful way and fleetingly swam to the end of the pool 20 meters away. He then thrust his feet against the wall, dived back in, and nimbly swam back. He was so fast that within a blink, he had returned to Luo Sangs side and bobbed his head up. As he flipped his hair, the glistening water drops sshed all over. His ck hair stuck to his face, but it didnt make him look less handsome.


    How was it? Am I good? Nian Junting wiped his face and proudly looked at Luo Sang. The words praise me were almost written on his face.


    Luo Sang was agape. A short whileter, she finally nodded and responded, Yes, youre amazing.


    Youre so easy. Ive just quickly shown you a slight part of what I can do. Hearing herpliment, Nian Junting smiled and then quickly swam to the other side of the pool with the backstroke and came back with the butterfly stroke. Then, he began doing freestyle swimming and the breaststroke. Luo Sang was stunned by how good he was at swimming.


    Every time he swam ap in the pool, he would stop to ask Luo Sang if he was good, so Luo Sang spent the next hour and a half watching him show off his swimming skills in the pool. She even felt like she was watching an Olympic swimmingpetition. Nian Junting was trying very hard and didnt seem to be tired at all, which made Luo Sang think that he was a total freak. Ordinary people would be tired after twops.


    As he came out of the pool, Luo Sang poured him a ss of juice, as she sincerely didnt want him to exhaust himself. You can stop now. Youre really amazing.


    Do you like to watch me swim, then? Nian Junting turned back to smile at her. His eyes were shining with a watery luster, making him look like an innocent boy.


    Luo Sangs heart was softened. I do. She nodded.


    Then Ill always swim for you to watch. Nian Junting grinned and showed his white teeth.

 Chapter 468. Your Husband Is Really Bossy

    Chapter 468. Your Husband Is Really Bossy


    After dinner, Nian Junting suggested that Luosang to do a water therapy spa treatment, as she was feeling truly unwell.


    No, said Luosang unhappily. Im covered in hickeys from you. Ill need to strip for the spa. Itd be embarrassing if other people saw those hickeys.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment and then agreed with her. He wouldnt let any other people see Luosangs body, not even women. Nian Junting thought for a moment, then said, In that case, go for a massage.


    Luosang spent a short while thinking and then agreed.


    At the massage ce, an attendant guided them to a room with sea view, then asked, Do you have specific requirements for your massage therapist?


    Hers has to be a female, and mine has to be a male. Both of them need to be straight. Nian Junting pointed at Luosang with his chin while speaking.


    The attendant was puzzled for a moment, but then he smiled.


    Did you have to add thatst sentence? Luosang felt quite embarrassed.


    Of course I did. There are many gays nowadays, Nian Junting responded in a bossy manner. Not to mention the fact that youre so pretty, while Im so strong. The probability of gays falling in love with me isnt lower than that of females falling for me. However, I asked for a masseur so you wont be jealous.


    Luosangughed and joked, You can get me a masseur, so I wont be jealous.


    Forget it. Nian Junting gave her a threatening nce.


    As the masseuse came in, Luosang heard Nian Junting say to her in English, Please do not massage her hips and thighs.


    The masseuse was a little speechless, but still, she nodded. While doing the massage, she said to Luosang jokingly, Your husband is quite bossy.


    Luosang grinned awkwardly.


    After the massage, Nian Junting asked Luosang to give the masseuse a great tip, and Luosang agreed. While leaving the ce, Luosang asked with curiosity, Why did you want me to give her a great tip?


    Because she said that Im your husband, Nian Junting responded proudly. She has great eyes, so we must give her a great tip.


    Luosang couldnt think of a word to say. Youre really good at wasting money, she thought.


    Back in the bedroom, Luosang threw herself straight onto the bed and fell asleep. Nian Junting didnt touch her, but let her sleep quietly.


    The next day, Luosang woke up to see Nian Juntings dark, sunken eyes.


    Are you still sore? he asked.


    Luosangs legs shivered. The look in Nian Juntings eyes reminded her what he had done the night beforest while she was sitting on the kitchen counter. Do you want to do it again? she asked.


    Nian Junting stayed silent, but the look in his eyes exined everything.


    You should at least give me a couple of days to recover. Im still feeling ufortable. Luosang curved her lips downward. She did feel extreme pleasure when having sex with him, but he was crazily energetic. One round of sexual intercourse with him made her feel likeying in bed for three days.


    Is it so bad? Do you need me to take a look? Nian Junting looked curiously between her legs, saying, Should I go and get some medicine for you?


    Thats very kind of you, but I dont want to get medicine for something like this. Luosang didnt even dare to stay any longer in the bed under his gaze.


    I need to take a cold shower, said Nian Junting with a pitiful look in his ck eyes.


    Suit yourself. Luosang blushed and turned her face away.


    They took a ne to White Beach. After arriving, Luosang found the beach more beautiful than any beach that she had seen before. Like all the other young girls, she took pictures everywhere.


    Nian Juntng carried her bags and quietly followed behind her. Looking at the young and energetic girl before him, he suddenly felt that in a journey, many things could be even better than sex, even simple things like strolling on a beach, watching the sunset, and eating together. All those things were meaningful, too.

 Chapter 469. Boundlessly Shameless

    Chapter 469. Boundlessly Shameless


    After taking some pictures on the beach, Luo Sang took off her outerwear, exposing her red swimsuit. It was a two-piece swimsuit with a miniskirt and a sling top that emphasized her slim waist and long legs.


    Nian Junting found that Luo Sang liked red. Some people looked cheesy in red, but not her. The red swimsuit made her skin look extra fair. Wearing her sunsses, she looked like a star. Many men on the beach sneakily gave her a second nce. Nian Junting was unhappy about that. He hurriedly took off his shirt and wrapped it around her waist.


    What are you doing? I havent gotten in the water yet. Luo Sang was displeased.


    Dont get in the water here, said Nian Junting. You can swim in our pool back at the vi.


    What did Ie to the beach for if I cant swim in the sea? Luo Sang said through clenched teeth.


    Well buy you a one-piece swimsuit tonight, then you can swim in the sea, he said.


    Luo Sang was so angry that she evenughed. If you keep acting like this, Ill nevere to a beach with you again.


    Who else do you want toe with? Im telling you, if you evere to a beach again, I have to be there. Youre not allowed to go to any beach with any of your friends. Nian Junting put his arms around Luo Sang, as if to dere his ownership of her.


    Luo Sang was very upset. She only wanted to swim on the most beautiful beach in the world, but he wouldnt let her do that. For this reason, she didnt talk much to him all day while they were at White Beach.


    Back in the hotel, Nian Junting took out an idental-style sexy bikini set and said, Dont say that I didnt let you swim. Here, put this on. Well swim togetherter.


    Luo Sangs stomach even twitched because of how angry she was. I dont remember bringing bikinis like these. Where do you get these?


    I asked the staff of the hotel to buy them for me.


    Luo Sang didnt know what to say but silently looked at the bikini set. They were made from very little cloth, and the tiny bikini bottoms had straps on both sides. She could imagine how easy it would be to take them off.


    Im sorry, from now on, I only wear one-piece swimsuits. Luo Sang smiled coldly and said, Because you wouldnt let me swim in the sea today.


    I did that for your own good. There were so many people on the beach. It was like a public bath. Some children even peed in it, and some people even have sexually transmitted diseases. Those people paid no attention to hygiene, Nian Junting said very seriously. Not everyone is as clean as I am.


    You didnt say that earlier today, she said.


    What did I say back then? I cant remember, he said.


    Luo Sang couldnt think of a word to say and only felt that Nian Junting was boundlessly shameless. She didnt want to talk to him and headed directly to the restaurant for dinner.


    Luo, do you really not want to wear these? Do you know how much they cost? Nian Junting followed behind her and kept talking. They cost me 2,000 Australian dors.


    Luo Sang reeled and nearly fell to the ground after hearing that. That was nearly 10,000 Chinese yuan. Those are just bikinis. Do you have to spend so much money on a bikini set? Those are made from three tiny pieces of cloth!


    I said I wanted the best, and the hotel staff got me the most expensive set. I guess when theres very little cloth, they be expensive Nian Junting looked at Luo Sang innocently.


    Dont I have your wallet? Didnt you say that Id be in charge of the cost during our time here? Luo Sang knew that he was rich, but her heart still ached because of the super expensive bikini set.


    You can pay with WeChat now and Alipay Nian Junting sighed. Just throw them away if you really dont want to wear them. I shouldnt have bought them.


    Luo Sang now felt that her liver was aching. Nian Junting was so good at wasting money. Luo Sang guessed that was because he didnt know what it felt like to be a poor person after being a rich one.


    Are you aware that youve just lost 100,000,000? Forget it, just put the bikini set in the room. Ill wear themter, alright?


    Alright Nian Junting nodded, and a cunning look shed in his eyes. He had now learned that when he wanted to buy her something again, he should choose the expensive one, so she would do what he wanted.

 Chapter 470. She Hasnt Even Come into the Pool, but He…

    Chapter 470. She Hasn''t Even Come into the Pool, but He��


    When they returned from dinner, Nian Junting ced the bikini neatly in front of Luosang. Luosang looked at him and felt as if she were looking at a big-tailed wolf that was almost wagging its tail.


    I need to get some rest before going to swim. Luosang understood that she would have to give him what he wanted tonight, as his intention was so obvious, so she stopped struggling.


    Alright. Nian Junting nodded.


    At eight oclock, Luosang put on the bikini then walked out of the bathroom. Even looking at herself in the mirror made her feel very shy. The bikini was way too revealing. It basically only covered the three important areas. On the sides of her thighs, nothing existed but two strings. She took a deep breath, then covered herself with a bath towel and walked out.


    Seeing her, Nian Juntings eyes glowed like the stars in the sky. He had seen her naked, but now he learned that she could also be very beautiful wearing very little. Her long, straight, snow-white legs and deep cleavage were exceedingly fascinating and charming. He thought it would be even better if she werent wrapped in a bath towel.


    What are you looking at? Luosang gave him a threatening nce, then walked straight toward the pool.


    Nian Junting followed closely behind her. He saw her walk to the poolside and slowly put down the bath towel. Her snow-white slim back and plump hips immediately fell into his sight, reminding him of that night when they had done it for the first time That night, she looked so pretty as well


    Nian Junting couldnt hold back anymore. He lunged forward and lifted her. Luosang hurriedly put her arms around his neck and asked, What are you doing?


    Im doing you. Nian Junting nodded. His straightforward words made Luosang blush. Thats not what I meant. What are you doing?


    I just told you. Nian Junting carried her to the cane bed by the poolside.


    Luosang felt very ufortable. She had guessed that he might be tempted by her when she put on the bikini, but she had expected it to happen at least after she went into the water. However, he started taking action before she had even gotten into the pool


    Isnt this awful? I havent even gotten into the water yet, Luosang said through clenched teeth while pping his arm. Put me down.


    You can go inter. Nian Junting held her tightly.


    Will I have the strength to swimter? If you dont put me down, Ill never swim with you again, Luosang threatened him angrily. Im wearing a bikini, not sexy lingerie.


    Whats the difference? Nian Junting thought. However, her threat did change his mind. He thought for a second, then turned around and carried her into the water. It was alright. He had been waiting for so long, but he could wait a little longer. She was weak, anyway. When she got exhausted in the pool, he would be able to do whatever he wanted to her. Nian Junting thought it through and hoped that it would happen soon.


    Luosang swam far away from him the moment she went into the water. However, she was really not good at swimming. Thankfully, the pool was shallow, and her feet could reach the bottom.


    Nian Junting stood beside her, watching her swim. Under his gaze, Luosang just couldnt rx, so she asked him awkwardly, Why dont you swim?


    Nian Junting crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, Weve been out for an entire day today. Im a little tired.


    You can get tired? Luosang gave him a weird look. You dove 20 meters deep the first day, but you didnt get tired then, did you?


    I didnt sleep wellst night, said Nian Junting, because I missed you too much.


    Luosangs face reddened. She refused to talk to him again but enjoyed swimming alone. However, she ran out of energy after swimming twops in the pool. Nian Junting grasped the opportunity, swam to her swiftly, and put his arms around her in the pool.


    Tired so soon?

 Chapter 471. See, Your Body Sold You Out

    Chapter 471. See, Your Body Sold You Out


    Noticing Nian Juntings big smile, Luo Sang said sourly, Youve been waiting for this moment, havent you?


    How can that be possible? Nian Junting responded while carrying her to the poolside.


    Luo Sang might have believed him if she was as silly as a pig. He put her on the cane bed, then said to her attentively, Youre tired. Let me give you a massage. After saying that, he began massaging Luo Sangs shoulders, which were still wet, without waiting for her response.


    Youre hurting me. I dont want your massage. Luo Sang frowned because of the pain and shrugged her shoulders to stop him from touching her.


    Alright, alright, Ill stop. Nian Junting took his hands away from her shoulders, then moved those hands downward.


    What are your hands doing? Luo Sang started blushing.


    Luo, I want it. This time, Nian Junting was finally honest. He directly made Luo Sang sit on hisp. Their wet and warm bodies pressed against each other.


    This has always been your true purpose, right? Luo Sang gave him a scornful nce.


    Luo, dont you want it? See, your body has sold you out again, Nian Junting put his head near hers and gently bit her lips again and again. Being kissed by him, Luo Sang turned as red as a boiled shrimp. After experiencing that kind of thing, some of her desires had been developed. Once he touched her, her body automatically had an honest reaction.


    She was a little vexed. Can you let me take a shower first? And, were outdoors.


    There are only the two of us in this vi. What are you afraid of? And itste at night. You can take a showerter. I cant wait. Nian Junting was unable to hold himself back anymore.


    Luo Sang wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. It would be their second time, and they were going to do it outside.That was way too wild. But there are people next door, she said.


    So you should keep your voice down. Nian Junting lowered his voice.


    Can you make it quicker? Luo Sang begged in a small voice.


    Nian Junting was delighted. He took Luo Sangs words as an obviouspliment, so how could he possibly agree to her request?


    Thatll depend on your performance. After saying that, Nian Junting pressed his lips against hers while taking out a condom and tearing open the wrapper.


    Luo Sang was speechless. She had no idea when he had sneakily make these preparations.


    The second time was far less painful than the first time. Luo Sang adapted quickly and felt much better than she had thest time. However, she was still shy and bit her lip the whole time. Nian Junting worried that she might injure her own lip, so he lowered his head to kiss her deeply.


    On the cane bed by the poolside, their bodies entangled together. Sadly, Luo Sang found that the second timested even longer than the first time. When it finally ended, she couldnt even lift her fingers. Nian Junting carried her to the bathroom to take a shower. Before carrying her out, his hands were all over her.


    While Luo Sang was falling asleep on the bed, a hotel attendant delivered some food. Refreshed, Nian Junting walked into the bedroom while stirring a bowl of beef noodles with chopsticks. He said, See how nice I am to you? I knew that youd be tired, so I ordered food ahead of time.


    Luo Sang gave him a threatening nce and responded, Ive served you. Now, its your turn to serve me. Feed me.


    When did you serve me? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. You sat on top of me the whole time while we were doing it. You barely even moved. I was carrying you in the shower. I even washed your body. You wont be able to find another man as good as I am.

 Chapter 472

    Chapter 472


    You Luosang blushed scarlet. Thinking about what had happened earlier, she felt as if her head was going to start smoking. She wanted to refute him, but after racking her brain, she actually failed to find a single word to say. He was right. She barely moved and simply sat on top of him. He was surprisingly strong, even when he was on the bottom. Luosang felt that she would die of shame if she kept thinking about all that.


    Alright, youre always right. I wont do it with you again. Luosang sneered. Since youre so good at it, you should fulfill your needs by yourself.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting instantly got anxious. I was wrong. Youre great and selfless. Youre even greater than Peoples Liberation Army.


    Luosang felt seriously speechless hearing himpare her to the Peoples Liberation Army. However, she was pretty happy to let him do all the hard work during sex.


    Over the next couple of days, Nian Junting made Luosang spend almost all night in bed, doing that thing. Ever since the first time, Nian Junting seemed never to be tired of sex. As a consequence, Luosang was tired and sluggish during the day, and her limbs were limp the whole time. What made her even unhappier was that Nian Junting seemed to be more and more energetic. Even though she had been increasing her physical strength somewhat as well, she still felt that the difference between him and her was getting bigger and bigger.


    The day they left Hamilton Ind, Luosang couldnt even remember what the views on the ind looked like, only the bed in the vi. Nian Junting was the opposite. While boarding, he felt quite refreshed and said, Spending vacation by the sea is indeed interesting. We shoulde to seaside more often. How about once a quarter?


    Luosangs legs shivered. She was frightened of the sea now. Six months from now or even an entire year from now, she still wouldnt want toe to the seaside again.


    Why dont you say something? Are you unhappy? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows while stroking the ends of her hair.


    Um We can talk about itter. I still need to study, Luosang murmured.


    Then welle in the summer. We can stay by the sea for a whole summer vacation. Nian Junting nodded, satisfied.


    Ill probably think about that if we only have sex once every two or three days. Luosangs legs even twiched.


    What do you mean? We only have sex once a day. Nian Junting frowned. Ive checked online. Eighty percent of people do it twice or three times a night.


    But your one time equals seven times for everyone else, Luosangined.


    Am I so good? Nian Junting was very proud and even felt a little shy.


    Luosang covered her forehead with her hand. She didnt want to continue the conversation with him. Last night, he was crazily excited during sex. For that reason, Luosangs legs were still trembling even now.


    But you enjoyed it as well. Nian Junting followed behind her. I dont think we should reduce the frequency.


    But I cant take it, Luosangined.


    Thats why you should practice, said Nian Junting.


    The flight attendant blushed and reminded them in a low voice, Eh hem, can you please not talk about that at the gate? There are passengers behind you.


    Luosangs face immediately reddened. She truly wanted to find a hole and crawl in. She couldnt have imagined that the Australian flight attendant actually understood Chinese. She lowered her head and quickly walked inside. Meanwhile, she silently swore that she would never take this flight again.


    An hour after the ne took off, Nian Junting went to the bathroom. Just now, I heard those flight attendants talking about us when I was in the bathroom, he said to Luosang when he came back.


    Luosang didnt want to ask any questions, because she could roughly guess what those flight attendants were talking about.


    As she was thinking, Nian Junting continued, They said that youre so lucky to have me, whose one time is as good as everyone elses seven times. They also said that Im tall and strong and handsome.

 Chapter 473. Maybe She Should Stop Complaining about Nian Junting

    Chapter 473. Maybe She Should Stop Comining about Nian Junting


    Luo Sang didnt want to ask, but she could guess. As she had thought, Nian Junting started talking in the next moment. They said that youre really lucky that youre with me, who can do it seven times a night, and that Im tall and handsome.


    Luo Sang didnt respond.


    See how lucky you are? Nian Juntings lips curved in a smile as he said proudly, The other girls are all jealous of you.


    Luo Sang opened her mouth, but realized that she actually didnt know what to say. Lately, she found that she was about to be brainwashed by Nian Juntings false reasoning. She fell into deep thought. Was she really so bad at sex?


    ording to the schedule, they would stay in Melbourne for thest night of the trip. Today and tomorrow, they would stroll around in Melbourne and then fly back to Xia City at five pm.


    It was eleven am when they arrived at Melbourne Airport. On the ride to the hotel, Luo Sang messaged Yan Su via WeChatIs it good or bad if a man is too good at sex?


    Yan SuHuh, you finally used condoms.


    Luo Sang blushed slightly as she lowered her head to replyAnswer my question.


    Yan SuIs Mr. Nian good? Ahyaya, he didnt do it seven times a night, did he?


    Luo SangNo, but his one timested almost as long as seven regr times.


    Yan SuOh my, oh my, so when an ordinary guy needs seven condoms, Mr. Nian only needs one. Thatll save you a fortune.


    Luo Sang didnt know how to respond, as Yan Sus way of thinking was way too weird. She seemed to be strangely interested in condoms. If Luo Sang hadnt been living with her, she would think that Yan Su was selling condoms for a living.


    Yan Su sent another message. Thats of course a good thing. Mr. Nian is rich and is nice to you, and hes so energetic. You are so lucky.


    Luo Sang was puzzled when reading the message. She couldnt help but ask, Do you like men with great sexual endurance? Do you like men who can disable you from getting out of bed every day?


    Luo Sang honestly couldnt imagine that Yan Su had a wild heart hiding under her innocent face.


    Yan SuAre you saying that Mr. Nian did it with you every day and disabled you from getting out of bed?


    Luo Sang was embarrassed. She didnt want to talk about it, but she was very curious about Yan Sus preference.


    Yan SuI dont know. I havent tried it yet. But I guess first of all, it has to befortable. If he made mefortable it could be eptable.


    Comfortable Luo Sangs face was burning. Thankfully, they were only messaging via WeChat. She was surprised by Yan Su again, maybe because they had hardly talked about this stuff before.


    Havent you asked Luo Sang.


    Yan Su replied, I wanted to, but Im unable to see my boyfriend all year round. Who am I supposed to do it with? Anyway, what happened to you is a good thing, so stop overthinking. You have to know that many women nowadays have an unhappy sex life.


    Luo Sang fell into silence. Even Yan Su said so. Maybe I should stopining about Nian Junting, she thought.


    Who are you texting? Why dont you want me to look? Nian Junting, who sat beside her, had been observing her expression the whole time.


    Luo Sang put away her phone and said, Its Yan Su. Were talking about our little secrets.


    You have secrets with her? Nian Junting unhappily held Luo Sangs hand and said, You dont even have secrets with me.


    I am yours, so do we need secrets? Luo Sang said helplessly.


    Nian Junting paused slightly, then agreed with her and let the discontent go. After arriving at the hotel, they had lunch in the hotel restaurant. Then, the tired Luo Sang went straight to bed. Nian Juntingid beside her to rest.


    Abruptly, her phone buzzed on the nightstand as a WeChat message was sent to her. At a nce, Nian Junting saw the WeChat ID Risingsun showing on the screen.

 Chapter 474. She Actually Wants to Give Uggs to Another Man as a Gift

    Chapter 474. She Actually Wants to Give Uggs to Another Man as a Gift


    That WeChat name clearly belonged to a man. Nian Junting took her phone without thinking, then opened her WeChat and saw Risingsuns messageSangsang, dont forget my Uggs. Im waiting for them, as Im going to Harbin to shoot a film next year.


    Shoot a film Nian Junting entered Risingsuns Wechat Moments and saw Chi Shengxus photos. He fixed his eyes on the screen, and his face suddenly darkened. She actually wants to give Uggs to another man as a gift. She has only given me a scarf. That is so unfair. Not to mention the fact that Im her boyfriend. How can she do that? he thought.


    He almost tried to wake her up and ask her why, but before doing that, he had a second thought and decided not to say anything. He wanted to see if she would really secretly buy Uggs for Chi Shengxu. He angrily deleted the message, then deleted Chi Shengxu from Luosangs WeChat contact list. After that, he put down the phone and felt wide awake.


    At three oclock, Luosang woke up to see the expressionless man beside her. Whats wrong? Didnt you take a nap? she asked.


    Nian Junting gave her a nce but didnt say anything.


    Luosang paid no attention to his attitude. She got up from the bed and said to him while tying up her hair, Lets go to the shopping mall. We need to get some presents for your mom and Nian Xi. We rarely leave home, after all.


    Except for them, who else do you want to buy presents for? Nian Junting got off of the bed and stared straight into her eyes. He didnt want to miss any expression on her face.


    Luosang blinked and thought of Chi Shengxus present. With a slightly guilty feeling, she said, Yan Su, Sister Lan, and Steward Wu. Yan Su also asked me to bring her boyfriend a gift.


    Yan Su and her boyfriend cant see each other even once a year. Why does she want you to bring him a gift? Nian Junting asked coldly.


    Luosang rubbed her nose and said, Many couples see each other at the end of the year, so will Yan Su and her boyfriend. Youre not familiar with them, so how can you know about them so well?


    Nian Junting spent a short while staring at her silently, then asked, What do you n to get him?


    Itd better not to be Uggs, he thought.


    Luosang walked toward the bathroom while speaking, Um Ill see. If I see anything suitable for him, Ill just buy it.


    They took the hotels shuttle to arge shopping mall in Melbourne. Famous brands from all over the world could be found there. Luosang decided to buy Nian Xi a nightgown for her wedding night, as she was going to get married soon. Luosang walked into a store for womens sleepwear and saw all sorts of styles that made her face blush and heart race.


    She thought that Nian Junting would pick a few dresses for her, and she was nervous for that reason. But to her surprise, he unprecedentedly remained silent the whole time and only watched her selecting the dresses.


    She picked a dress for Nian Xi, paid for it, and then started looking for a gift for Murong Cheng. She didnt know Murong Cheng well, so with no other choice, she asked Nian Junting, Do you know what your mom likes?


    How am I supposed to know? Nian Junting responded in an unfriendly tone.


    Luosang was speechless. Is she your mom or mine? she thought.


    As Nian Junting refused to give her any tips, Luosang decided to pick the gift by herself. After spending a while at the mall, she found a brand which had nice scarves. She remembered that Murong Cheng was wearing a scarf when she saw herst year. How about this scarf for your mom? she asked him.


    You gave me a scarf as a gift, and now youre getting my mom one. What do you think I am? Nian Junting said with strong discontent.


    Luosang was puzzled, feeling that Nian Junting was getting more and more weird-tempered. Cant I give other people scarves as presents after giving you one? That person were talking about is your mother.


    Didnt you give me a scarf because you want to tie me together with you for our whole lives? Or is giving people scarves one of your hobbies? Nian Junting felt annoyed. Shouldnt you be treating me specially?

 Chapter 475. Youve Really Racked Your Brains in Doing This

    Chapter 475. You''ve Really Racked Your Brains in Doing This


    Luo Sang felt that Nian Junting was being unreasonable again. Are you saying that I cant give other people scarves as gifts, because Ive given you one? Not even your mother? she asked.


    That is right. Nian Junting nodded and replied, And, you cant give gifts to other men, except your father.


    Since he had made it so clear, Luo Sang understood that she would be dead if she dared to buy that pair of Uggster.


    Alright. So tell me, what gift should I buy for your mother? Luo Sang took a deep breath to calm herself down, then continued, Dont say that you have no idea. Your mom was wearing a scarfst year with I saw her. Thats why I wanted to buy her a scarf. Im trying to please your mother, and I want to give her a satisfying gift. Can you show me some respect? Im doing this because I want to be part of your family.


    Nian Junting paused slightly, knowing why she bought the scarf. He med himself for having silly thoughts and feeling agitated when thinking about Chi Shengxus message. Im sorry. I thought giving people scarves as gifts was one of your hobbies. I wanted you to treat me differently. You know how much Ive been cherishing that scarf you gave me.


    Luo Sangs heart softened a little. She of all people knew best how precious that scarf was to him. Alright, you dont like me giving scarves to other people, so I wont buy it. Lets go and find something else.


    No. You said its good, so its good. Well take it, Nian Junting took off the scarf that Luo Sang liked and directly paid for it. Take a look around. Is there anything that you want for yourself? I think youd look nice with this silk scarf. Ill buy it for you as a gift.


    Alright. Luo Sang nodded, feeling delighted as Nian Junting actually tried to make it up to her.


    After paying for the scarves, the two of them continued shopping to buy gifts for Sister Lan, Yan Su, and the others. Recalling that she had promised Chi Shengxu she would buy him a pair of Uggs as a gift, Luo Sang had an idea when passing by an Ugg shop.


    She stopped walking and said, Maybe we should buy each of them a pair of Uggs.


    Nian Junting stopped as well, gazing into her eyes as he responded, Why Uggs?


    Because Its gonna be near winter in Xia City. Uggs can keep them warm. Luo Sang started dragging him into the store, saying, And look, all these great designs.


    I dont agree. Uggs will take up too much space. Itll be inconvenient for us to bring them back. Nian Junting refused to move.


    I think itll be alright. We have so many suitcases. Luo Sang tried to persuade him.


    I think perfumes or lipstick are better choices. We can get Sister Lan some skin care products. As for Steward Wu, hes a man, so we can get him a belt, said Nian Junting in a deep voice. He was offering her ast chance. If she dared to mention Uggs again, he would lose his temper.


    Alright then. As he refused so strongly, Luo Sang didnt insist in order to avoid his suspicion. But I want to buy a pair for Yan Sus boyfriend. She then said, After all, we donte here often. I want my gifts to be special.


    As she said that, Nian Junting fell into silence. His handsome face turned icy cold, making Luo Sang feel chilly.


    Yan Sus boyfriend is just an excuse. You want to buy them for Chi Shengxu, dont you? Nian Junting directly exposed her lie. Youve really racked your brains in buying him a pair of Uggs.


    Luo Sang was puzzled slightly, as she couldnt figure out how he had found out. However, she understood that she couldnt admit it right now, because if she did, he would explode with jealousy. I dont know what youre talking about, she said. I said I want to buy them for Yan Sus boyfriend. Why did you suddenly mention Chi Shengxu?


    Youre still lying to me. Nian Juntings chest heaved quickly. Chi Shengxu sent you a message when you were taking a nap. I saw it.

 Chapter 476. In Your Heart, Is He More Important Than I Am?

    Chapter 476. In Your Heart, Is He More Important Than I Am?


    You sneakily checked my WeChat messages? Luosang frowned, feeling a little unhappy as well.


    What do you mean by sneakily? Youre my woman, so I have good reason to check your WeChat messages, said Nian Junting coldly. You should let me do it, unless theres something in your WeChat that you cant let me know.


    Even married couples have the right of privacy, okay? I never checked your phone. Luosang was angry.


    Ill let you check my phone anytime you want to. Ive never chatted with any other woman, except for work, said Nian Junting adamantly. Not to mention buying shoes for other women. Ive given you chances, and Ive warned you not to give gifts to other men. However, you still tried to do it.


    Luosang closed her eyes to calm herself down, then said, Chi Shengxu asked me for a gift. I agreed to buy him a gift because he and his mother helped me during Christmas. I see him as a friend, and he sees me as that, too. Nothing inappropriate is ever going on between us. Thats why I agreed to buy him a gift.


    If nothing appropriate is going on, why did you keep it secret from me then? Ive been waiting for you to tell me the truth, but you didnt. You were guilty. Nian Junting stared at her with sharp eyes.


    Am I such a half-hearted woman in your mind? Luosang felt hurt and was enraged. Would you let me buy him shoes if I told you the truth?


    Of course not. Have you forgotten what I said before? Except for your dad, youre not allowed to buy gifts for any other man, especially shoes. Shoes will not only keep feet warm but also hearts. Do you know how many acupuncture points people have on their feet? Those acupuncture points are dominating human bodies, circting the blood and strength, connecting internal organs. Some people catch a cold easily, because the coldness has been entering their bodies from the bottoms of their feet. Thats why we should keep our feet warm. Feet are the second heart of a human being. Buying someone shoes means you care about that person, and you dont want him to catch cold. You see, you care about him so much. This is very meaningful, Nian Juntingined.


    Luosang was angry at first, but then she was utterly confused by all the feet, acupuncture points, coldness, and internal organs. How could a pair of shoes be rted with so many weird terms? What was wrong with him? He wasnt studying Chinese medicine.


    You see, Luosang felt especially helpless as she continued, this is why I didnt tell you about it. I didnt want you to misunderstand. Youve been overthinking.


    Im telling the truth. You are having an inappropriate rtionship with Chi Shengxu, Nian Junting said through clenched teeth.


    Luosang didnt argue with him but took out her phone to check Chi Shengxus message, as she wanted to know what he said that made Nian Junting have such a huge misunderstanding. However, she essed her WeChat and saw no message from Chi Shengxu. She couldnt even find Chi Shengxu in her contact list. Luosang raised her phone and asked, You deleted him?


    The look in her eyes suddenly intensified, as if a storm wasing. Nian Junting felt a little unconfident for some reason, but still, he nodded and responded, Yes, I deleted him.


    Luosang instantly burned up. She was furious. Actually, she had never been so angry. Youre such a bossy and unreasonable man! You didnt only delete the message but also deleted him from my contact list! This is my phone, and hes my friend. What made you think you could do that!?


    Because Im your boyfriend, your fiance, and Im about to be your husband. Nian Junting was angry as well, because Luosang described him with such awful words. You actually said that about me because of Chi Shengxu. In your heart, is he more important than I am? Is this because he helped you at Christmas while I didnt show up? In fact, that has been a heart knot of yours, hasnt it?

 Chapter 477. I Can Buy Gifts for Whomever I Want! What Can You Do About It?

    Chapter 477. I Can Buy Gifts for Whomever I Want! What Can You Do About It?


    Thats not my problem. Its you who cant forget it.


    As Nian Junting had deleted her WeChat friend without letting her know and showed no regret at all, Luo Sang was finally enraged. You are my boyfriend, but so what! Cant I have friends anymore? You dont want me to buy him shoes, but I will do it! Ill buy gifts for whomever I want! What can you do about it? Kill me if you can! Lock me up and never let me shop again if you can! Keep me away from all the shopping malls for the rest of my life if you can! She growled at Nian Junting, as she had gotten very emotional. It was the first time she had gotten so angry, and talked so much and so loudly in front of him.


    Hearing her words, Nian Junting paused and even forgot to talk.


    After shouting at him, Luo Sang walked directly into the shop without Nian Junting and picked up a pair of gray-cuffed Uggs. But then, she realized that she didnt know Chi Shengxus size. She found Chi Shengxus number and called him. Im buying you shoes. Tell me your size.


    Nian Junting walked over at that moment. Hearing her words, he felt that his heart was bleeding. He even wanted to burn the entire shop. Luo Sang was actually buying shoes for another man right in front of him and was calling to ask that man about his size.


    What was he to her then? Was he nothing? Was he a decoration? He stood in front of her, ring her with anger.


    Luo Sang ignored him but kept chatting with Chi Shengxu. You just called to ask me that? Arent you afraid that Nian Junting might explode with jealousy? There might be a fight, said Chi Shengxu.


    Youre my friend and my godmothers son. Youre like my brother. Cant I even buy you a pair of shoes? Luo Sang said that right in front of Nian Junting, then ended the call and asked the salesman for size 11.


    Xu Luo Sang, Ill give you onest chance. Youre not allowed to buy them, said Nian Junting in a deep voice.


    Luo Sang then turned to the salesman and said, Can I have every color of this style? Size 11, please. Ill give them to someone else as gifts.


    The salesman trembled as he looked at Nian Juntings angry face.


    Go, Luo Sang urged the salesman while preparing to pay. She first took out Nian Juntings wallet, then nced at it and put it back into Nian Juntings hand. Take your wallet, she said. I dont want your money.


    Nian Junting was so angry that he felt like his head had even started smoking. He wanted to fight her, but this was a public ce, and she wasnt showing any sign of yielding at all. Xu Luosang, dont go too far, he said.


    I am going too far. What can you do? Are you gonna eat me? Luo Sang looked up and said, Im not using your money, so why are you still talking? Are you gonna keep talking? If you are, well shop separately.


    He didnt respond.


    Get out of my way. Im going to buy shoes for myself as well, Luo Sang bumped hard against him.


    The tall and strong Nian Junting was forced to take a few steps backward, then looked at her in shock. She actually cared so little about him and had bumped himXu Luosang, youre too arrogant, he used her.


    Whats so wrong with that? Humble people get bullied these days. Luo Sang looked at him and said, Why are you looking at me? Im talking about you. Dont talk to me, and dont show up in my sight. Even seeing you makes me angry.


    Nian Junting paused again. You bought shoes for another man, and now youre acting as if you did the right thing. And, youre yelling at me.


    Yep. Im yelling at you. Ill kill you by yelling! Luo Sang snorted coldly, then started picking shoes for herself and trying them on. No matter how fiercely Nian Junting red at her, she ignored him and treated him like something nonexistent.

 Chapter 478. You Were Using Violence on Me

    Chapter 478. You Were Using Violence on Me


    Nian Junting felt very angry and sad. How could such a woman even exist in this world? She had done something wrong to him. She had bought so many shoes for Chi Shengxu and not a pair for him, but in the end, she got mad at him. Had he been spoiling her? What should he do now? Should he directly carry her away? He couldnt do that, as people were watching. Should he leave without her? They were in Australia, a strange country, a strange city. What if she got kidnapped? He failed toe up with a better idea, so he followed behind her while pulling a long face.


    Luosang didnt even look at him. She picked the shoes, paid for them, and left. She was carrying five pairs of shoes, and four of them were for Chi Shengxu. Nian Junting was really mad. He even wanted to throw those shoes away.


    Next, Luosang strolled about the mall as if Nian Junting didnt exist. She went to the watch stores and womens wear sections. She only bought a few things, probably because of the expensive prices.


    Nian Junting watched her coldly. As long as she stopped fighting him and apologized to him, he would buy her anything she liked. Silly girl. We had a fight, but you didnt need to give my wallet back to me. Now you dont have much money, do you? You deserve this, he thought.


    Luosang couldnt afford anything expensive, so she spent her money on food. She bought a small slice of cake at first and then tried some other dessert. She enjoyed the food. Nian Junting got angry again, as she hadnt even thought about buying a cake for him. He didnt like dessert, but he was standing right behind her.


    At half-past five, Luosang walked into a Korean restaurant, found a seat, and sat down.


    Why are we eating in a ce like this? The environment is awful, and its poorly ventted. Nian Junting red at her and said, Didnt we book a table at a better restaurant?


    Luosang ignored him, took the menu from the waiters hands, and began ordering food. After ordering her food, she handed the menu back to the waiter and said, Thatll be all.


    The waiter looked at Nian Junting, hesitated, and said, Arent you two together?


    Nian Junting was beyond tolerance. He kicked away the chair, stood up, and said, Xu Luosang, my patience is limited. Ive been tolerating you because we are traveling abroad now. Dont think that I have to! After saying that, he walked away with big steps.


    Luosang dropped her eyelids.


    The waiter felt extremely awkward. Should I ce your order? he asked.


    Yes, serve the food as quickly as you can. Im hungry, Luosang responded with a faint smile.


    As the waiter left, she hurriedly picked up the ss of water on the table and took a fewrge gulps so her tears wouldnt gush out. She really didnt want to fight with him abroad. What she didnt want even more was to fight with him during vacation. After all, that was supposed to be their best time together. However, she couldnt endure the fact that he had deleted a friend from her WeChat contact list. If she made a concession, he would do worse in the future.


    The waiter soon served her a fried rice cake. She lowered her head and prepared to eat, but suddenly, a shadow enveloped her. She raised her head to find Nian Junting standing beside her with dark eyes that looked a little sad, as if he were hurt.


    Luosang paused for a second and almost got soft-hearted, but still, she hardened her heart and said, Are you now willing to admit that you deleting my WeChat friend was disrespect to me?


    I admit that I shouldnt have done it, said Nian Junting, but you yelled at me, pushed me, bumped me, and ignored me because of Chi Shengxu. You were using violence on me.


    What violence? I only bumped you once.


    Cold violence.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.

 Chapter 479. Looking at Him, She Felt that the Word “Childish” Was Written on His Face

    Chapter 479. Looking at Him, She Felt that the Word ��Childish�� Was Written on His Face


    Youve bought four pairs of shoes for Chi Shengxu, but you never bought me a pair. Nian Junting suddenly felt extremely upset. Luo Sang, I wont forgive you easily, never.


    Luo Sang was speechless. Nian Junting hadnt even figured out what was going on yet. Now, it was her turn to be mad at him.


    After he finished talking, he sat in front of her, dragged over her te, and started eating the rice cake.


    I ordered that, said Luo Sang.


    I know. Didnt you hear what I just said? I wont forgive you, so Im gonna eat all the food you like. Dont you like eating the most? I want you to be punished. Nian Junting put the rice cake into his mouth while speaking. He couldnt hit her or curse at her, and yelling at her was useless. So, he had no other choice but to punish her in this way.


    Luo Sang was stunned. Looking at him, she felt that the word childish was written on his face. However, she did feel quite unhappy seeing him eating all the rice cakes that she liked. Then, a te of cheese-fried rice was served, followed by fried chicken. Nian Junting ate it all and only left a vegetable sd for Luo Sang.


    After finishing all the food, he wiped his mouth, nced at her proudly, and said, That tasted awful.


    Luo Sang honestly wanted to smack his face with a te. She picked up her bags angrily and left the restaurant. Nian Junting quickly followed behind her. On the way, she bought a burger, and he seized it.


    Luo Sang waited until he finished that burger, then bought another one. He took away the second burger and ate that, too, but then Luo Sang bought a third one. They were all over-sized burgers. Atst, Nian Junting even wanted to throw up when looking at the newest burger.


    Do you want to continue? Here, Ill just give it to you. Eat, go ahead and eat, Luo Sang put the burger to his mouth.


    Nian Junting never liked the strong smells of western food. He had already had too much at first, and after that, he had been forcing himself to eat more. Smelling the burger Luo Sang put to his mouth, he turned around, found a trash can, and began vomiting.


    Looking at him, Luo Sang didnt know what to say. As the owner of a publicpany, he always did childish things.


    If you dont want me to eat, you could just take them and throw them away. Why did you eat them all by yourself? she asked.


    Nian Junting finished vomiting, wiped his mouth, and responded, You think I havent thought about that? You see food as being as important as your life. If I threw it away, I was afraid that youd fight me with your life. His handsome face was pale.


    Luo Sang opened her mouth, as she wanted to say something to disagree. However, she then thought carefully, and felt that she might have really started a physical fight with him if he had thrown all the food away. She could tolerate anything, except the waste of food. Two years ago, she was so poor that she even needed to count grains of rice for every meal. She could never let him waste food like that.


    Im d that you know. She thought for a moment, took a bite of the burger, then proudly walked forward.


    Nian Juntings stomach twitched slightly, which made him want to throw up again. So, it turned out that she really would fight him over food. What kind of woman was she?


    Back at the hotel, the two of them refused to talk to each other. After taking a shower, Luo Sangid down on the edge of the bed with her back to Nian Junting. Seeing that, Nian Junting got on the bed andid down with a frown. It was the first time they had had an argument and not slept in each others arms since they had begun having sex. He was so not used to this. Also, the aroma from her aroused him and made him want to have sex very badly.


    While falling asleep, Luo Sang suddenly felt a hand reaching toward her chest. She quivered and woke up, grabbed Nian Juntings hand, and said coldly, What are you doing? Arent we having a fight? Who allowed you to touch me?

 Chapter 480. She Doesnt Think That She Did Anything Wrong, and She Made Me Sleep Alone

    Chapter 480. She Doesn''t Think That She Did Anything Wrong, and She Made Me Sleep Alone


    Who says that couples cant have sex while theyre fighting? Nian Juntings arm paused for a second, and then he threw a question back and made himself sound very reasonable.


    Luosang had met quite some shameless people, but none of them was as shameless as he was. He had yelled at her earlier, and now he wanted to have sex with her. In your dreams, she thought. All women in the world say that. Luosang picked up a pillow and a quilt and walked out of the bedroom.


    Where are you going? Nian Junting sat up and got off of the bed.


    Ill sleep on the couch. Luosangid on the couch and curled up.


    Nian Junting nced at the private part of his body which had been making him ufortable, then said grumpily, Luosang, if you keep doing this, I wont satisfy you with my little brother again.


    Like I want it, Luosang thought. She did sense pleasure during sex, but every time she felt half-dead afterward. She rolled her eyes, then turned around to face him with the back of her head.


    Nian Junting angrily walked back into the bedroom. There was no quilt left on the bed, so he took out a spare one from the closet. However, he was too lonely to fall asleep. He couldnt sleep alone, and his private part also needed somefort.


    Looking at those Uggs in the corner, he truly wanted to throw them all away. However, he was too polite to do that. He felt so irritated. Sitting up on the bed, he sent Xiao Si a message via WeChatCome online, chat with me. He waited for half a minute, but Xiao Si didnt reply, so he directly gave him a voice call.


    The call was answered. What do you want? Its midnight over here. I was asleep, said Xiao Si.


    Luosang betrayed me, said Nian Junting coldly.


    What? What? Xiao Si was wide awake in shock. You guys were doing fine just yesterday! You posted pictures on Wechat Moment every day.


    She lied to me. She wants to give Uggs to Chi Shengxu as a gift, but lied to me that those Uggs were for Yan Sus boyfriend.


    So thats what its about, thought Xiao Si.


    She doesnt think that she did anything wrong, and shes making me sleep alone. Nian Junting continued, What should I do? She never gave me shoes as gifts.


    Xiao Si coughed slightly, then said, Those are nothing but a pair of shoes. Chi Shengxu helped her at Christmas, so its reasonable for her to give him a gift. Dont overthink it.


    How can I not overthink? Giving someone shoes as a gift means that she wants to walk together with that person. The more Nian Junting talked about that, the more ufortable he felt.


    Ugh, youre wrong about that. Xiao Si hurriedly responded, Actually, giving people shoes as gifts doesnt have good meanings. Giving someone shoes means you want to see that person off. It means parted. It could also mean that the gift-giver wants the one who received the gift to put on those shoes and go as far away as possible. The word shoes is a homophone of evil in Chinese, so it has quite an ominous meaning, too. Thats why people say that couples shouldnt give each other shoes as gifts, especially sports shoes. Dont doubt this. Earlier, I heard from Zhou Yanfeng that he bought one of his ex-girlfriends a pair of sports shoes, and that girl left him in less than three days. Zhou Yanfeng is a yboy indeed, but hes good-looking and rich. That girl was the only one who unexpectedly left him.


    Nian Junting was stunned. He didnt know all that. It seems that I have misunderstood Luosang. I think Chi Shengxu likes her, but shes all about me. However, he asked her for a gift, and she couldnt refuse, because he had helped her. So, thats why she agreed to buy him shoes. Well, my woman is pretty and perfect, so its reasonable for her to have suitors.


    I get it. I have something that needs to be done, bye, he said to Xiao Si.


    Oi, can you at least let me finish The call was ended before Xiao Si could finish his speech.

 Chapter 481. Ive Thought about It. Yesterday, I Was Wrong

    Chapter 481. I''ve Thought about It. Yesterday, I Was Wrong


    D*mn, he cursed silently. Nian Junting woke him up in the middle of the night, then ended the call after such a quick talk. He had awful friends, but none of them was as awful as Nian Junting.


    Back in the hotel, Nian Junting got off of the bed after ending the call, then dressed and left the suite.


    Luo Sang was in a light sleep and was awakened by the sound of the door opening. She got up and walked to the living room, then found that Nian Junting had left. Where had he gone sote at night? Had he left her alone in the hotel only because she didnt satisfy his sexual desire?


    Lying on the couch, Luo Sang somehow started having a grievance in her heart and couldnt help but begin imagining things. No wonder people said that a man would stop cherishing a woman once she gave him her virginity. Was he a man like that? With all these thoughts, she fell asleep.


    She woke up the next day to find that she wasnt lying on the couch but on the bed. Yesterday, she had spent half the day shopping, so at night, she had slept so soundly that she didnt remember being carried into the bedroom.


    She walked out and saw Nian Junting sleeping on the couch. Because he was so tall, his legs were hanging in the air, and most of his nket had fallen to the ground. The look in Luo Sangs eyes softened when she saw him. She was angry because he had gone outst night, but was delighted because he had carried her to bed. She quietly walked over, picked up the nket, and gently covered him with it.


    Once she had done that, Nian Junting was awake. He sat up and gazed at her with drowsy eyes while saying, You do love me.


    Luo Sang didnt understand. When had she said that she didnt love him?


    Nian Junting pulled her into his arms and then said in a soft voice, Luo Sang, you love me. Chi Shengxu isnt even as good as a hair of mine in your heart, right?


    Luo Sang raised her head to look at him, waiting to see what trick he was going to y this time. She could never guess what he was thinking, anyway.


    Luo, Ive thought about it. Yesterday, I was wrong, said Nian Junting. Chi Shengxu helped you. Since he asked you to buy him a pair of shoes as a gift, its really quite inappropriate for you to say no. Also, its reasonable for you to buy him a pair of shoes to thank him for saving you from the trouble.


    Luo Sang was visibily shocked. Nian Junting had always been unreasonable and extremely stubborn, but how had he suddenly thought it through overnight? It was unbelievable!


    Im d you think of it that way. Luo Sang nodded with a weird look.


    But Nian Junting continued, Im notfortable with you giving him Uggs as gifts. I talked a lot to you about Uggs yesterday, and that really means something to me. I think its more appropriate for you to give him a pair of sneakers.


    While speaking, he stood up and picked up a box that was ced beside the couch. He continued, Last night, I went to a 24-hour shopping mall and bought a pair of sneakers. These are the newest arrivals, limited edition. They are incrediblyfortable and fashionable. I think this pair of shoes will make a better gift to him. After all, Chi Shengxu is a star, and his family is wealthy. You can find Uggs everywhere, but this kind of limited edition sneaker is hard to get. I believe every boy in his early 20s likes this kind of sneaker. He also believed that with this pair of sneakers, Chi Shengxu would leave Luo Sang even faster.


    Luo Sang was agape.


    Why arent you saying anything? Nian Junting frowned.


    Its nothing. Luo Sang shook her head. I just feel that youre like a salesman in a shoe store. After Yan Su, who was like a condom saleswoman, Luo Sang now had a shoe salesman around her.


    Nian Junting was a little speechless.


    Luo Sang took the box and opened it. The pair of shoes was indeed very stylish, looking very suitable for Chi Shengxu. She just couldnt understand why Nian Junting was suddenly being so nice about Chi Shengxu.

 Chapter 482. I Want to Kiss You for My Whole Life

    Chapter 482. I Want to Kiss You for My Whole Life


    How much did you pay for this pair of shoes?


    Not much, 40,000.


    Luossang touched her chest, as she felt an ache in her heart.


    Whats wrong? Are you feeling ufortable? Nian Junting asked with concern.


    My heart is aching. Luosang couldnt help but raise her head and bite his neck. She didnt bite him hard but still left teeth marks on his skin. Its just a gift. Who told you to spend so much money on it?


    Youre so stingy, Nian Juntingined but also gave a big smile. He thought she had a deep affection for Chi Shengxu, but it turned out that she wasnt even willing to spend 40,000 on him. If he had known this, he wouldnt have argued with her yesterday.


    You say that because youve never been poor. Do you know for ordinary people how huge a present that is worth 40,000 can be? Luosang sighed. Even though youre rich, you shouldnt spend money like that.


    You gave my wallet back to me, Nian Junting snorted.


    Luosang reached out a hand toward him and said, Give me your wallet. Ill be keeping it until were back in China.


    We havent gotten married yet, but youre already trying to control me. While speaking, Nian Junting obediently handed his wallet to Luosang. Will you still give him those Uggs?


    Luosang held the pair of sports shoes and said, Id rather give him the Uggs. You wear these sports shoes. They are too expensive, so I dont want to give him those.


    Nian Junting frowned. How could he wear possibly wear those sports shoes? What if he ran away in those shoes? What a silly woman. As I said, you cant give him Uggs. Ive already made a step backward, Nian Junting said with a frown. Luo, think about how Chi Shengxu and his family took care of you. You cant be so stingy.


    Luosang bit her lip and nodded. Sports shoes were shoes as well, so she guessed that Chi Shengxu would ept them. However, why was the situation a little weird? In the end, it was Nian Junting who persuaded her. But next time, you cant delete my WeChat friends, she said.


    Sure. Nian Junting lifted her to his chest and said, But you didnt have sex with mest night. You need to make it up to me this morning.


    Luosang was puzzled for a second, then realized what was happening. She kicked and struggled as hard as she could while saying, No, I wont be able to shop if we have sex this morning. Plus, we still need to head back home.


    Nian Junting hesitated for a moment and said, You owe me one, then. You have to do it twice with me when we get back.


    Luosang almost fainted. Doing it one time could make her half-dead, so if she did it twice in a row, she might really die. You cant do that


    That is really not good. So lets do it now. I havent tried doing it with you in the morning yet. Nian Junting carried her to the bedroom.


    Alright, alright, well do it twice tomorrow. Luosang blushed and hurriedly begged for mercy.


    Thats more like it. Nian Junting lowered his head and kissed her red cheek.


    Luosang put her arms around his neck, thought for a moment, and said, You dont want me to give Uggs to Chi Shengxu, but what should I do with the four pairs that Ive already bought?


    Ill wear them. Nian Junting gave his answer without thinking.


    Those might be a little small for your feet


    Ill just squeeze my feet into them.


    Luosang chuckled and said, Silly. In fact, I only bought one pair for Chi Shengxu yesterday. The other three pairs are all for you.


    Nian Junting paused for a few seconds, then gave a big grin with glowing eyes. Howe I didnt know anything about that?


    Luosang snorted and responded, I secretly asked the shop assistant to switch them.


    Luo, youre so nice. Nian Junting kissed her deeply and even wanted to eat her.


    Luosang pulled his hair andined, UmYoure hurting me with your kiss.


    I want to kiss you for my whole life. Nian Junting passionately intruded into her mouth.

 Chapter 483. Youre Such a Bad Girl

    Chapter 483. You''re Such a Bad Girl


    In the afternoon, Luo Sang and Nian Junting arrived in Xia City by ne. That night, when Murong Cheng and Nian Xi came to visit, Luo Sang gave them presents. After receiving her present, Murong Cheng couldnt stop praising Luo Sang for how thoughtful and tasteful the present was. When it was Nian Xis turn to unwrap her present, she opened the box to find a red nightdress with shoulder straps.


    She reddened and said, Sangsang, youre such a bad girl.


    Nian Junting walked over, nced at the dress, then frowned and asked Luo Sang, When did you buy it? Why didnt I know?


    I asked for your opinion. Luo Sang didnt know what else to say.


    You did? Nian Junting regretted paying no attention to that. At the time, all he could think about was Chi Shengxus message. If he had noticed that she was buying that for Nian Xi, he would have asked her to buy a few dresses like that for herself.


    Nian Xi looked at her brothers feet and asked, Brother, why are you wearing Uggs at home? Is Xia City really so cold?


    Sangsang bought me these. She bought me four pairs of these. I just have to wear them, Nian Junting nced at Luo Sang affectionately while answering the question.


    Luo Sang felt a little ashamed, but she was already used to how shameless Nian Junting was. She had only bought him three pairs, but he forcibly upied the fourth pair.


    Nian Xi was stunned and said, Sangsang, was it necessary to buy so many Uggs?


    Luo Sang gave an embarrassed smile, then quickly changed the topic and began talking about Ji Chuans injuries.


    He was discharged from the hospital several days ago. Recently, weve been busy decorating the new apartment. Brother, you should visit them and have dinner at their home tomorrow. You guys went on vacation not long after Ji Chuan got back. You should get together, as youre like brothers. Besides, his parents want to thank you and Xiao Si for going to the border, said Nian Xi.


    Sure. Nian Junting nodded and responded, I also have a gift for Ji Chuan.


    Also bring Sangsang, said Nian Xi.


    Luo Sang hesitated for a moment and then said, embarrassed, Your father wont be there, will he?


    Nian Xi was puzzled at first, then replied, I dont think he will.


    It wont be a big deal, even if he is there. Why are you afraid of him? Murong Cheng smiled coldly and said, If he doesnt want you two to be together, tell him toe and talk to me. Ill p his face and ask him what makes him think that he can teach his son about marriage.


    Ugh


    Looking at Murong Cheng, who was hardly as fierce as she was being right now, Luo Sang didnt know what to say. However, as the New Year wasing, and she had epted Nian Juntings proposal, she would need to meet Nian Qignyun sooner orter. Also, after what happened to her at Christmas, she had no fear now.


    You dont need to take him seriously. Nian Junting gently patted the back of her hand.


    Luo Sang sighed. How can I possibly not take him seriously? Hes your father, after all, she thought.


    After dinner, Murong Cheng and Nian Xi left together. Luo Sang hadnt rested well on the ne yesterday, so she took a shower and went to bed early. Seeing that, Nian Juntings eyes shined. He quickly took off his shoes, got onto the bed to kiss her, and then said, Luo, did youe to bed so early to wait for me because you know that you still owe me twice?


    Im really tired. Can we do it tomorrow? Luo Sang wasnt very happy as Nian Junting dragged up and unbuttoned her pajamas.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and asked, So are you going to owe me three times tomorrow?


    Luo Sang didnt know how to respond to that. Nian Junting chuckled, then smoothly took off her clothes. Luo Sang knew that she had no way to change his mind, so she just let him do whatever he wanted.


    A whileter, Nian Junting did not quite feel satisfied, as she hadnt responded to him passionately. Why didnt you kiss me back? he asked.


    I told you that Im exhausted, Luo Sang pouted.


    Nian Junting was already mad with lust. Seeing her pouting lips, he had even more difficulty controlling himself

    Luosang moaned in pain. The room temperature started rising. When Luosang woke up, Nian Junting wasnt there. He must have been at work at that time. She picked up her phone to look at the time and found that it was already ten oclock.


    She raised her legs and felt as if she were disabled. She struggled up and gave herself a hot bath while silently cursing Nian Junting 1,000 times. Fortunately, she was pursuing voice acting, which meant that she would need to travel a lot for work. She guessed that if she always stayed in Xia City, he would exhaust her in bed every single day.


    It was already around noon by the time she finally gathered some strength to go downstairs. Sister Lan looked at her weirdly and said, Sangsang, Ive never seen you get up sote. Young Master is quite intuitive. He told me not to wake you up.


    Luosangs face reddened slightly. She was already starving. Sister Lan, do you have anything to eat? she asked.


    The food has been ready for a long time. Sister Lan served her arge bowl of squab soup with red dates, codonopsis pilos[1], mers[2], and many other nourishing ingredients.


    Luosang was puzzled and asked, Why did you give me such a nourishing soup?


    Sister Lan chuckled and said, Young Master said that you need to nourish your blood.


    Nourish my blood? Luosang didnt understand.


    Yeah, women do need to nourish their blood after their first time. Sister Lan gave a very meaningful smile.


    Luosang even wanted to hide under the table. What a big-mouthed man, sheined silently.


    Dont be shy. Your mother left when you were little, so you dont know about these things. You have to nourish your body. Sister Lan grinned. And, dont forget about birth control, so you wont hurt yourself. Even though Young Master is a responsible man, I dont support premarital pregnancy.


    Luosang nodded, feeling warmed.


    In a meeting room in Shengting, the senior managers on the scene were all stunned a little when Nian Junting walked in. The winter in Xia City was never too cold, especially now. It was about ten degrees Celsius, but their CEO was wearing a scarf. Some said that it was a gift from his girlfriend. The scarf didnt surprise them, because they had seen him wearing it quite often. Instead, what made them speechless was the pair of Uggs on his feet.


    Mr. Nian, you dressed warmly today, said the general manager.


    Nian Junting responded with two words, Im cold.


    The general manager thought for a moment, then sneakily told another guy to set the temperature of the air conditioner higher. The room was heated to 28 degrees Celsius. During the one and a half hour meeting, Nian Junting sweat heavily. In the middle of the meeting, he couldnt help but take off the scarf. However, he felt as if his feet were burning.


    When the meeting was finally over, Xiao Si walked up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, Oi, do you have to wear these? Ive never seen a man in Uggs in this city, except during that ice disaster that happened four years ago. Youre the first one.


    Luosang bought me four pairs of these and made me wear them, Nian Junting responded ndly.


    Really? Xiao Si curved his lips downward. Are you sure that Luosang made you wear these?


    Of course. Would I ever want to dress so warmly? Nian Junting gave him a cold nce.


    Is there something that you wouldnt do? Xiao Siughed to himself.


    Then I need to talk to Sangsang. Youll feel too hot this way. Im going to the Feng familys home for dinner tonight as well. You can give me a ride, and Ill teach her a lesson for you, said Xiao Si.


    Nian Junting didnt reply.


    [1] A type of ginseng native to Asia.


    [2] A type of fruit avable fresh in winter.

 Chapter 485. Nian Junting Was Terribly Displeased

    Chapter 485. Nian Junting Was Terribly Displeased


    At two oclock in the afternoon, Luo Sang received a message from CEO Nian after she woke up from a napIlle pick you up this afternoon. If Xiao Si asks about the Uggs and scarf, you need to tell him that you wanted me to wear them.


    Luo Sang looked outside and found that it was a sunny day. So in this kind of weather, he went to work wearing Uggs and a scarf. What publicpany owner goes to work wearing Uggs? What a psycho, thought Luo Sang.


    She guessed that he must have shown off in front of Xiao Si, and that now he needed to solve the problem he had created for himself. Luo Sang was speechless. She didnt reply to his message.


    At three oclock, Nian Junting called her and asked, Have you seen my WeChat message? Why didnt you reply?


    Why would I lie for you? Luo Sangughed. You always like to make up things that never happened. Since youve already told him so, you shouldnt be worrying that he might discover your lie.


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a while and then said, Thats because since I founded thepany, I did not have a girlfriend until I met you. People always show off their girlfriends in front of me. Now, I finally have a girlfriend, so I will surely make them jealous.


    That sounds quite pitiful, thought Luo Sang.


    Alright, Ill help you once, she said. But next time, you really cant make me be responsible for it all. After ending the call, Luo Sang began thinking that maybe she should give Nian Junting a little punishment.


    At half-past five, Nian Junting drove a Mercedes-Benz to pick Luo Sang up after work. Xiao Si was in the backseat. Sangsang, isnt Tingting wearing too much? He said that you made him wear it all, said Xiao Si to Luo Sang when he saw her.


    Yeah, I bought him those. Of course he has to wear them, Luo Sang looked at Nian Junting with a smile and said, Husband, youre so nice to me. Im really touched.


    She hardly ever called him husband. Hearing her soft voice, Nian Junting almost floated up into the sky. He asked her to cooperate, but didnt think that she would actually be so cooperative. After hearing her words, he so wanted to take her in his arms and kiss her. Sure, he said. I have to live up to your kindness.


    I knew you would. Luo Sang nodded and then took out a pair of thick woolen socks from her bag and said, So youll wear these woolen socks that I bought for you, too, right?


    Nian Junting couldnt think of a word to say.


    Seeing that, Xiao Siughed his head off. Oh my, Luo Sang is amazing, he thought. Those Uggs have already made him feel so hot. Hell probably be cooked if he puts on those socks. Tingting, Sangsang is so nice to you. Just put them on, Xiao Si said while trying not to burst outughing.


    Are you gonna wear them or not? Luo Sang threatened him with a smile. If you refuse to wear them, Ill think you dont care enough about me.


    Ill wear them, since you want me to. Nian Junting clenched his teeth, took off his shoes, and put the socks on. Before, he had already felt like the bottoms of his feet were burning, and now, he felt like he was standing on an erupting volcano.


    Husband, I love you. Luo Sang turned and kissed his cheek, then said, After you told me so much about all those acupuncture points on the feet, I figured that I cant let your feet feel even the slightest coldness.


    Thank you Nian Junting was terribly displeased. His woman had learned to make fun of him. What a naughty girl. At this very moment, he loved and hated this naughty girl at the same time.


    He started the car and opened the window, as he wanted some wind to blow in and cool him down. However, Xiao Si shivered in the backseat and said, Ah, I feel so cold. Please close the window. Im freezing.


    Luo Sang looked at Nian Junting and said, I feel cold too.


    Nian Junting didnt say anything. Cold, my *ss, he thought. Its nice and cool out there, not cold at all. Now that these two have teamed up to y tricks on me, Ill punish her hard in bed when we get back.

 Chapter 486. Stay Calm, Dont Be Jealous

    Chapter 486. Stay Calm, Don''t Be Jealous


    The road that led to the Feng familys home was the same one that led to the Nian familys home, but the Feng family home was nearer than the Nian familys, about ten miles from the city. It was a traditional-style Chinese house with a courtyard and a small pond in it. A few ducks were swimming in the pond. When they arrived, it was already dark, but the yard was well-illuminated.


    Nian Xi arrived early. She and Ji Chuan stood side by side by the gate to wee the others. Seeing Nian Junting, they both made fun of they way he dressed.


    Feeling better? Nian Junting gave Ji Chuan a punch without mercy.


    Ji Chuan stayed as motionless as a statue and responded with a smile, Much better. Just got in. My mom prepared the food herself, because she knew that youd be here for dinner.


    Mrs. Feng was in the kitchen helping with the food, while Mr. Feng stayed in the living room. The male guests sat down together and began talking about Nian Xis wedding with Mr. Feng.


    Nian Xi said that she needed to go to the wedding dress store to pick out her wedding dress tomorrow and asked Luosang to go with her. Sangsang, why dont you be my maid of honor?


    Luosang paused briefly. Before she said anything, Nian Junting agreed. Thats a good idea. Sangsang is going to look stunning in a gown.


    Mr. Feng took a sip of the tea, then smiled. Miss Xu is definitely pretty. Even I, as an old man, can imagine how good shell look in a gown. However, will a too-pretty maid of honor make Nian Xi less eye-catching at the wedding?


    Uncle Feng, are you saying that Im not as pretty as Sangsang? Nian Xi pretended to be angry.


    Mr. Fengughed out loud and said, How can it be possible? Xi, youre beautiful, too.


    Nian Xi snorted and replied, Uncle, Im not gonna talk to you again.


    Ji Chuan also smiled and said, If the maid of honor is too pretty, she will certainly attract the attention of many male guests. There will definitely be many important guests who have fame and prestige at the wedding. Miss Xu is such a pretty girl, so I guess after the wedding, youll have many suitors.


    Then she wont be the maid of honor. Nian Junting immediately refused Nian Xis suggestion. He didnt want his girlfriend to have too many suitors.


    Luosang smiled silently, only giving Ji Chuan a nce. Maybe she was too sensitive, but she felt that the term, guests who have fame and prestige was especially meaningful.


    He actually means that there will be many important guests at the wedding, so if I were the maid of honor and those guests learned about my family background, people would talk, right? she thought.


    She understood. The Feng family wasnt incredibly wealthy, but it was prestigious in the military world in Xia City. If people knew that the maid of honor at their wedding was the daughter of a molester, they might feel disgraced.


    Nian Xian and Nian Junting didnt mind it, so they wouldnt think that much about it, but the Feng family and the others might not feel the same way, just like how Nian Qingyun couldnt ept her because of her family.


    Thats such a shame. Nian Xi felt regret.


    Its okay. I can still help you pick the wedding dress. Luosang smiled at her and said, I assume youre nning to buy one, right?


    Of course we are. Mom was going to hire a designer from abroad to design one specially for me, but we dont have enough time for that. Once Nian Xi said that, the sound of a car was heard from outside.


    Whos arriving? Its not my dad, is it? asked Nian Xi.


    Mr. Feng shook his head and said, I didnt invite your dad.


    Ji Chuan pressed his lips together, then said, I invited Shuangwei.


    The living room fell into a weird silence for a moment as everyone else automatically turned their eyes to Nian Junting and Luosang. Nian Junting frowned slightly. A short whileter, he said in a nd tone, Its alright. Were all friends, and the New Year ising. Wed see each other sooner orter.


    After saying that, he held Luosangs hand, put his mouth near her ear, and whispered to her, Stay calm. Dont be jealous.

 Chapter 487. Shuangwei, You and Junting Are Dressed…

    Chapter 487. Shuangwei, You and Junting Are Dressed��


    Luo Sang was havingplicated feelings today. However, after hearing what Nian Junting said, she felt that she had to clear her head. He almost made it sound like she was being jealous and unreasonable.


    Many people had ex-boyfriends and girlfriends. She wouldnt mind the fact that Nian Junting had an ex-girlfriend, as long as they werent still in love with each other and didnt remain in an unexinable rtionship.


    Five minutester, a tall and slim girl walked in. She had short hair and olive skin, profound facial features, and looked clean and neat. Her eyes were pretty and sharp, slightly upturned. She was wearing a ck leather coat, blue jeans, and a pair of brown boots that made her legs look long and slender. Also, she had full breasts and a slim waist. She was tall, about five-foot-nine.


    Luo Sang had seen many pretty girls at the Ximei College of Communication. Many of those girls looked simr, so she even had beauty fatigue toward pretty girls. But still, her eyes brightened when she saw Leng Shuangwei for the first time.


    Leng Shuangweis face wasnt extraordinarily beautiful, but she was pretty in a unique way. Unlike many girls who had oval faces with clear traces left by cosmetic surgeries, her beauty showed a heroic spirit. Nian Xi looked dashing as well, but didnt have that kind of sharpness that Leng Shuangwei did. Clearly, that kind of sharpness was honed on battlefields.


    However, all that wasnt important. The important thing was that Luo Sang noticed how simrly Leng Shuangwei and Nian Junting were dressed today. They looked almost like a couple. They were both wearing ck leather coats and blue jeans. The only difference was that one of them was wearing leather boots, while the other was in gray Uggs. That truly made Luo Sang ufortable.


    Shuangwei, you and Junting are dressed Mr. Feng wanted to say something but didnt finish his words.


    Leng Shuangwei looked at Nian Junting, her eyes revealing aplicated look. She quickly greeted him, Junting, long time no see. How have you been?


    Nian Junting nced at her, then nodded and responded, Good, you?


    I Leng Shuangweis eyes fell on Luo Sang who stood beside Nian Junting. Seeing them holding hands, she paused for a few seconds and then continued, Ive been in the army these past few years, just the same as before. Is this your girlfriend?


    Yeah, Xu Luosang. Nian Junting introduced them to each other with simple words, Luo, this is Leng Shuangwei.


    Nice to meet you, Miss Leng, Luo Sang greeted her as well.


    Leng Shuangwei nodded while looking her over from head to toe.


    As the atmosphere had be a little weird, Xiao Si quickly stood up, put a hand on Leng Shuangweis shoulder, andughed. Come on, have a seat. Shuangwei, after all these years, seeing you has been even harder than seeing the president of the United States.


    I hardly evere back for the New Year. Leng Shuangwei sat in Xiao Sis seat and said, This time, Im nning to get a transfer back.


    Youreing back? Xiao Si paused in surprise.


    Yeah, Im old enough to settle down. And being away from home makes my family worry. My father has pulled some strings to transfer me back to Xia City. I dont know what position theyll put me in yet, but I think Ill be working in the Armed Police Corps in Xia City, said Leng Shuangwei with a smile.


    Shuangwei, youre amazing, said Nian Xi. The Armed Police Corps! That job is definitely too hard for me.


    Dont say that. Being a police officer isnt an easy job, either. Leng Shuangwei smiled, then turned to Feng Ji Chuan and continued, Congrattions, youre finally getting married. Im so jealous of you guys. Ji Chuan, you have to treat Nian Xi well.


    Um Feng Ji Chuan nodded.


    Shuangwei, hows your father? asked Xiao Si.


    Good. He got married again, and hes quite happy now. Leng Shuangwei curved her lips in a faint and slightly sad smile, then changed the topic. Hmm, it smells wonderful. Aunty Fengs food still smells so delicious.


    Yeah. Aunty Fengs food used to be your favorite when you were little kids. And now, youve all grown up. Mr. Feng sighed.

 Chapter 488. She Was a Little Uncomfortable

    Chapter 488. She Was a Little Ufortable


    The dinner was rich and included a steaming hotpot. As Nian Junting took a seat, Leng Shuangwei smiled at him and said, Junting, arent you always underdressed? We havent seen each other in a few years. Why are you dressing so warmly now? I just noticed that youre wearing Uggs.


    Um, because Im afraid of the cold now, Nian Junting responded ndly.


    Luosang, who was sitting beside him and eating, paused for a second. Usually, Nian Junting would shamelessly tell everyone that she had made him wear those Uggs, but just now


    She was a little ufortable, but as she gave it some thought, she felt that she could understand. Leng Shuangwei had done nothing wrong that had caused her and Nian Junting to break up. She was a victim, same as Nian Junting. Therefore, it was understandable that Nian Junting did not brag about his new rtionship in front of her.


    Here, lets have some wine. Mr. Feng stood up and prepared to pour wine for everybody.


    Xiao Si hurriedly took the wine bottle and said, Please sit down. Let me do it. Before he poured wine for Luosang, Nian Xi and Nian Junting stopped him simultaneously and said in one voice, Dont give her wine.


    Why? Does Sangsang get drunk easily? Xiao Siughed.


    Luosang was a little embarrassed. She did get drunk very easily, and when she was drunk, she would do crazy things.


    Nian Junting shook his head and said, Ive had some wine already, so shell be drivingter. We cant do drunk driving.


    Leng Shuangwei waved her hands and said, I drove here as well, so Im not gonna drink, either.


    Alright, you two girls dont drink, but we will. Xiao Si poured wine for the rest of the people at the table. As the sses were emptied for the first time, Mrs. Feng smiled and asked Leng Shuangwei about the things that happened in the army. Leng Shuangwei started talking about her military life, from fighting a flood to a shooting contest in Israel.


    Except for Xiao Si, the others on the scene were all from military families, so they were all very interested in her stories, even Nian Junting. While eating, he listened to what Leng Shuangwei was saying.


    As she finished her stories, the others were full of praises. Xiao Si couldnt stop nodding while saying, Shuangwei, you have really won honor for women. Even I couldnt take what youve been through.


    Ji Chuan smiled and said, Yeah, I met her a few times in the army when I was on missions. I really admire her.


    Shuangwei, you have a boyfriend now, dont you? You must have a lot of suitors in the army, right? Mrs. Feng said jokingly.


    No. Leng Shuangwei shook her head.


    Hearing their conversations, Luosang felt like an outsider. She couldnt even think of one word to say to join in. With no other choice, she focused on the food. However, as there was quite a distance between her and the hotpot, it was inconvenient for her to pick food with her chopsticks. So, her only choices were the few dishes in front of her face. Thankfully, Nian Junting would get her some meat slices from the hot pot asionally.


    The dinnersted until half-past eight. The topic shifted from army life stories to the official circles in the army in Xia City. Nian Junting had drunk four or five sses of wine. He didnt get drunk easily, so he looked quite fine except for his slightly reddened cheeks.


    After dinner, the males remained sitting while Mr. Feng and the domestic worker tidied the table. Leng Shuangwei stood up to help. Luosang felt it was inappropriate for her just to sit there, so she started sorting the bowls and chopsticks in front of her.


    Mrs. Feng hurriedly said to her, Youre a guest. You dont need to do this, please sit down.


    Luosang felt awkward. Nian Junting was talking to Mr. Feng. As a low EQ person, he didnt know how to deal with this kind of situation, either. Fortunately, Nian Xi hurriedly said, Shuangwei, you sit down as well. Youre doing my job, making me, the future daughter-inw of this family, look awful. After saying that, she quickly took away the bowls and chopsticks in Leng Shuangweis hands.


    Youre the only conversation artist in this house. Mrs. Feng smiled and shook her head.


    Leng Shuangwei raised her hands andughed. Alright, I wont do your job. Future daughter-inw of the Feng family, make these clean.


    Nian Xi stuck her tongue out.


    After sitting there for another four or five minutes, Luosangs phone started ringing. It was a call from Ji Nuanyi.

 Chapter 489. Everybody Knows that She Still Loves Junting

    Chapter 489. Everybody Knows that She Still Loves Junting


    The call was probably about work. Luo Sang stood up and walked out to the backyard to answer the phone.


    Sangsang, have you had dinner yet?


    Just had it. Luo Sang sat on the stone stage beside the pool and said, Is this about voice acting


    Yeah, because of some schedule adjustment, Im afraid you need toe to Shanghai to start the voice acting work for the new series by the third day of this month. Ji Nuanyiughed and said, Can you do that?


    Its okay. I dont have many important things to do, anyway. You didnt need to call me yourself to tell me that. You could have let your assistant contact me.


    I heard from Mr. Xiao that youve been to the beach, so I decided to ask you if you had fun or not, said Ji Nuanyi.


    It wasnt bad. Luo Sang smiled. It seems that you and Mr. Xiao are getting along well.


    Haha, hes the major shareholder of mypany, so Im depending on him now, Ji Nuanyi replied. I cant be an actress my whole life. Besides, actresses will get fewer and fewer job opportunities after 30 if they dont strive to remain young-looking. Its a good thing for me to have a few investor friends, so that my life wont be too hard when Im no longer a star.


    Recalling what Xiao Si saidst time, Luo Sang gave her a tentative suggestion. You can think about other possibilities, too. Such as bing a couple with him.


    I heard that Mr. Xiao is from a wealthy family. I think therell be lots of trouble for girls who marry into wealthy families. I just want to make some money then shut my door and live my little happy life, said Ji Nuanyi.


    Thinking about her own situation, Luo Sang actually agreed with Ji Nuanyi. They chatted for seven or eight minutes, then ended the call. Luo Sang didnt want to go back in, so she strolled around the pool and looked at the ducks in it. While walking by a window, she suddenly heard Mrs. Fengs voice. Why are you in here?


    Get me a ss of that herb wine. The one we madest time, said Mr. Feng.


    Dont drink too much wine. Youre old, said Mrs. Feng.


    Mr. Fengughed and said, These kids dont visit us every day. This house hasnt been so lively in a long time.


    Thats true. Since Ji Chuan left home, they rarelye here. In the old days, our ce was always noisy with all those kids around. Mrs. Feng sighed. Shunagwei hasnt visited us in a long time, but today shes here, too. Ugh, speaking of that kid, I really feel sorry for her. Shes been working so hard out there all these years. She just wouldnte back and doesnt want a boyfriend. Everybody knows that she still loves Junting. Now, when she finally came back, she heard that Junting has a girlfriend. Im really sad looking at the two of them tonight. If that thing hadnt happened, they would have made such a perfect couple.


    Yeah, look at that Xu Luosang. She doesnt fit in. She didnt even say anything during dinner. I dont think she can handle any formal asions. Shes pretty indeed, but can people live on pretty faces? said Mr. Feng. Not to mention her family. Earlier, they made a scene about her. When Qingyun talked to me about this, he said hes so angry that his heart even ached.


    Speaking of Qingyun, I think he deserves what he got, said Mrs. Feng. Those two kids were torn apart because of what he did. Back then, when people found about his affair, the two kids were in such pain. If Murong Cheng hadnt threatened to kill herself, would those kids have broken up? These past few years, Shuangwei called me sometimes. She cried on the phone every time she mentioned that thing. She said that she didnt want toe back. Her mother isnt a decent person, and her father has been devastated by what happened. Those kids didnt know about that, though.


    You need to give Shuangwei a little more care. Her family has fallen apart, poor girl. Mr. Feng sighed and said, And theres another thing, if Nian Xi wants Xu Luosang to be her bridesmaid, you must say no. But dont be too straightforward. Nian Xi seems to have been brainwashed by Xu Luosang. After she and Ji Chuan get married, we need to make her spend less time with Xu Luosang.

 Chapter 490. We Need to Be Jealous Less Obviously

    Chapter 490. We Need to Be Jealous Less Obviously


    Dont worry. How could I possibly let her be the maid of honor at my sons wedding?


    Luosang slowly walked away and silently looked at the pond before her. The moonlight poured down, cold and dim. Her heart was just like that pond. It turned out that what Ye Chuen said was true. Nian Junting broke up with Leng Shuangwei because Murong Cheng threatened to kill herself. She could imagine how hard that must have been. They loved each other and were getting engaged, but suddenly, they had to break up.


    Leng Shuangwei loved Nian Junting deeply, so she never had another boyfriend. What about Nian Junting? Did he stay single all those years because he still loved her?


    Also, as she had thought, the Feng family really disliked her. Even though she had guessed some of these things, it made her feel a different way when she heard them from other people. What Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng said was like cold, sharp needles to her. To make matters worse, both of them were elders that Junting respected.


    She thought that she was already immune to these things, but it turned out that she was wrong. She cared about Nian Junting, so she cared about how those people thought of her.


    She didnt know how long she had been standing there when Nian Junting approached. Since youve finished your call, why dont you go inside? Its chilly out here, Nian Juntings voice came from behind her.


    She turned back. Before she could see his face clearly, he took off his scarf and draped it over her neck. She didnt say anything.


    This is good. You wont catch a cold no matter how cold it is. Nian Junting looked at his work and nodded, satisfied.


    Luosang raised her head, looked at his smiling face, and asked him, Are you sure that you did not put this around my neck because its too warm for you?


    Am I not allowed to y a trick on you, while you are on me? Nian Junting took off one of his shoes and said, Im still wearing cashmere socks.


    Normally, Luosang wouldugh, but now, she just couldnt.


    Whats wrong? Are you jealous? Didnt I tell you not to be jealous? Nian Junting put an arm around her waist and said, I was afraid that you might be jealous, so Ive been trying to avoid talking to Shuangwei


    Shuangwei, thats quite an intimate way to address her. Luosang curved her lips downward.


    Even that can make you jealous. Nian Junting gave a big smile and said, Alright, Ill be calling her Leng Shuangwei from this moment on. But you see, were at someone elses ce, so we should be jealous less obviously.


    Never mind, lets go in. I feel its impolite for me to keep standing out here. Luosang sighed. She really shouldnt pull a long face in this ce.


    Alright. The dinner has ended. Well just sit a little longer, then leave. Nian Junting smiled and put an arm around her shoulders as they headed back inside. As they walked in, the others all turned to look at them. Leng Shuangwei even stared straight at them.


    Its still early. Shall we go for karaoke? We havent done it for a long time.


    You go, Ill pass, said Nian Junting. I just came back from Australia yesterday and worked whole day today. Im exhausted.


    Luosang nced at him with a weird look. He had actually found an excuse. Usually, he would say something like, You single people with nobody to warm your beds have no idea. She never liked that he always loved to brag about their rtionship, but tonight, as he stopped bragging so much, she felt ufortable.


    You can get tired? Thats a rare thing, said Ji Chuan.


    You havent recoveredpletely from your injuries yet. Dont always go out, and make sure to sleep early, said Nian Junting to Ji Chuan. He then asked Xiao Si, Were leaving, are you going to leave with us?


    Xiao Si had drunk more than anyone else. Even his tongue was shaking at that moment.


    He isnt done drinking with me yet. Shuangwei will drive him hometer, said Mr. Feng.


    Dont worry, Ill drive Si back. I didnt have any wine. Leng Shuangwei raised her eyes to look at Nian Junting.

 Chapter 491. Youre a Little Different Today

    Chapter 491. You''re a Little Different Today


    After leaving the Feng family, Luosang felt that even the air outside made her feel free andfortable. She didnt like the atmosphere in the Feng family. However, if she married Nian Junting, and Nian Xi married Ji Chuan, she would certainly need to get together with Feng family people pretty often in the future.


    Dont drive too fast, Nian Junting reminded her. Today Luosang was driving. That huge off-road car made her feel like she was driving a tank. Luosang heard him but ignored him.


    Weve already left. Are you still jealous? Nian Junting turned to ask her. They invited me to karaoke, but I refused.


    Luosang hesitated for a while, then told him the truth. I feel that youre a little different today.


    Nian Junting was puzzled for a second and then said, Different how? Im the same as usual.


    You didnt act naturally in front of Leng Shuangwei, said Luosang. You love to show off our rtionship, but you didnt do it in front of her.


    Are you unhappy because I didnt show off our rtionship? Nian Junting stared straight at her with a pair of dark eyes. Do you want me to unt our rtionship in front of Leng Shuangwei?


    Luosang felt annoyed. She didnt understand it, either. You werent like this in front of Chi Shengxu and Yi Jingxi. I think you care about her feelings.


    Women always like to overthink things, and you really are sensitive. Nian Junting smiled. He nced at Luosang helplessly and said, But I wont mind, as you only think this way because you love me so much. Luosang, I hope you understand that I did what I did not because I still love her, but because its the most basic respect to a woman who used to be my girlfriend.


    He paused for a second, then continued with a slight frown, What happened years ago wasnt Leng Shuangweis fault. She was a victim, too, and her parents divorced. Now, I have a new rtionship. If I deliberately show off our rtionship in front of her, it may seem like Im proud because I found a better girl after we broke up. Youre not a toy to be shown off, and shes not a bad woman. What I can do is to keep a distance from her and try my best not to see her again.


    You said so much because you care about her feelings, am I not right? Luosang thought, You didnt have these worries in front of Nian Xi and Xiao Si. Is this because you used to love each other deeply?


    Nian Junting shook his head and said, And in front of her, I didnt act like you and I arent close. I clearly introduced you to her as my girlfriend. I didnt know that shed be there tonight. If I had known, I wouldnt have gone.


    Why? Didnt you just say that shes a victim, too? said Luosang.


    Yeah, thats why Im fine with her hanging out with the others. After all, there isnt a problem between her and them. There is a problem between her and me. Its not only about what happened between our parents, but also because Im with you now. Its not appropriate for me to be close to Leng Shuangwei. And of course, I just dont want you to be jealous. Nian Junting sniffed the air, then smiled and carried on, Have you smelled it? Since we left the Feng family, my car has been filled with jealousy. Someone has exploded with jealousy.


    Exploded with jealousy Luosang was a little speechless, but she was also a little relieved. She told herself not to think about the conversation between Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng, or how much Nian Junting used to care about Leng Shuangwei. She told herself to focus on the present.


    Luosang thought for a moment, then said, Next time, if the Feng family invites us again, you should go without me.


    Why? Nian Junting asked. Youre not mad at Ji Chuan, are you?

 Chapter 492. Didnt You See the Awkward Expression on Sangsangs Face?

    Chapter 492. Didn''t You See the Awkward Expression on Sangsang''s Face?


    You have such a low EQ. Didnt you feel that the Feng family doesnt like me at all? thought Luosang. However, she decided not to mention these things, as Nian Xi was getting married soon, and she didnt want anyone to be unhappy.


    No. He and Leng Shuangwei are close friends, after all. Its reasonable for him to invite her. Why would I be angry about that? I just felt a little ufortable in his ce. Besides, I dont really have any shared topics with you guys.


    Nian Junting pressed his thin lips together. But, Nian Xi is going to marry Ji Chuan and be a part of his family. We still need to get together at festivals and New Years.


    I understand that. If Im married to you, Ill certainly agree to hang out with them, but we arent married yet said Luosang.


    Nian Junting interrupted her and said, But youve epted my proposal already, unless you want to go back on your word.


    I dont, but we havent gotten married, after all. Your father doesnt want to ept me, and Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng are good friends with your father


    Nian Junitng understood her meaning. Are you worried that Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng might not like you? Youre right, though. I wont ask you toe next time. Youre my woman, so you have to befortable when we hang out. You dont need toe again if you dont want to.


    Hearing that, Luosang finally felt slightlyfortable. Thankfully, he wasnt unreasonable about those things.


    At ten oclock that night, Mr. Feng helped the awfully drunk Xiao Si into the front seat. After that, Feng Ji Chuan said to Leng Shuangwei, Dont drive too fast. Text me when youre home.


    Alright, I will certainly text you Xiao Si burped and waved his hand.


    I wasnt talking to you. Ji Chuan smiled.


    This kid gets drunk a lot more easily than before. Thats because he hasnt been drinking in years. Mr. Fengughed and said, Come and visit us again.


    Uncle Feng, see you. Leng Shuangwei started the car and drove Xiao Si away from the Feng family.


    Watching the car driving away, Mr. Feng patted his son on the back and said, Ill go back in. You drive Nian Xi home.


    The yard suddenly fell into silence. Feng Ji Chuan reached out a hand toward Nian Xi and said, Give me the car key, Ill drive you home.


    No need. You havent recoveredpletely yet. Youd better not drive for now, said Nian Xi. She lowered her eyelids in the darkness, opened her mouth slightly, and continued, Ji Chuan, why didnt you tell us that you invited Shuangwei tonight?


    If I had told you about it, would you have agreed to let here? Ji Chuan threw the question back at her. Shuangwei took the military academy examination with us that year. She rarelyes home. She doesnt have many friends here anymore. In fact, were her only friends now. I know youve been having issues with her because of what happened before, but shes also a victim. Her parents got divorced. For some certain things, one person alone cant make it happen. This may sound bad, but I think your father and her mother are both responsible for what happened. Xi, I hope that we can all still be friends, like we used to be.


    Nian Xi raised her head and said, I know that she did nothing wrong. My brother and I arent unreasonable people, so Ive chatted andughed with her just now, but tonight was different. I told you that Sangsang would be here, too. If she hadnte, everything would have been fine. Im happy to see Shuangwei again. Shes my friend, too. But, didnt you see the awkward expression on Sangsangs face?


    She felt awkward, so did Shuangwei. Ji Chuan frowned. Xi, in fact, I wanted to ask you this before. How long have you known Xu Luosang? Do you know her really well? Why do you always try to help her? Dont forget that Shuangwei grew up with us.

 Chapter 493. Sexual Dysfunction, You Know? He Was Sick for Years

    Chapter 493. Sexual Dysfunction, You Know? He Was Sick for Years


    Hearing his words, Nian Xi wasntfortable. Ji Chuan, I didnt know that you have a prejudice against Luosang, but now Ive suddenly realized that, she said.


    I dont have a prejudice against her. I just dont know her well enough. Ji Chuan shook his head and said, For that reason, Ill naturally take Shuangweis side.


    I dont take anyones side. I only know that sometimes its not about how long youve known a person. Ive liked Luosang since I first met her. Besides, shes my brothers girlfriend. You should believe my brother and stand in his shoes to think about this instead of putting everybody in an awkward situation.


    Ji Chuan asked abruptly, Do you think their rtionship canst?


    What do you mean? Nian Xi wasnt happy about it. Do you still want Shuangwei to be with my brother? Dont joke around. Id be fine with it, but my mom wouldnt agree. Besides, that would be unfair to Luosang.


    I was just saying. Calm down. Ji Chuan hurriedly held her hands. But theres one thing you need to understand. Were going to get married, so Junting and Shuangwei will see each other sooner orter.


    I know that Nian Xi said with a twist of her mouth, Enough talking. Im going home.


    Drive slowly, go to bed early, and dont be angry. Ji Chuan smiled and pinched her cheeks.


    Nian Xi pouted, threw a threatening nce at him, then got in the car and left.


    On the other side, a ck Audi drove into town.


    Xiao Si woke up from a nap, rubbed his eyes, and said, Where are we? Tingting, why am I not home yet?


    Leng Shuangwei nced at him and said, Youre really drunk. Im Shuangwei.


    Xiao Si shook his head and said, Ah, right, Tingting and Sangsang went home.


    Went home Hearing those words, a hidden sadness appeared in Leng Shuangweis eyes. Over the years, she had tried her best to harden herself and to forget about the past. However, she couldnt help thinking about that man every time she came back to this city. She had never seen him when she came back before, but every time, she heard about him. She knew that he had been single the whole time, but this year


    Leng Shuangwei gripped the steering wheel and asked bitterly, Si, why have you never mentioned Juntings girlfriend to me?


    Um havent I? Xiao Si leaned his head on the window, looking very drunk. Why bother? Youve broken up anyway, and you havent started a new rtionship. I dont want to aggravate you.


    Leng Shuangwei turned down the radio and asked in a serious tone, When did they meet each other? Can you tell me about it?


    It was the end ofst year, when Juntings spine was injured in a car ident. Sangsang came to take care of him, Xiao Si murmured in answer to her question.


    Junting had a car ident? Leng Shuangwei was shocked. I knew nothing about that.


    He told me to tell no one. Xiao Si raised a hand to point in a random direction.


    So Xu Luosang availed herself of the opportunity to get close to him at that time? Leng Shuangwei slowed the car down.


    I dont know. But back thenhehe, his body reacted to Luosang. Xiao Si smirked and said, Sexual dysfunction, you know? Junting was sick for years. The doctor tried everything but failed to cure him. But after Luosang touched him, he was miraculously healed. His body only responds to her.


    Leng Shuangweis eyes popped in shock. She hurriedly pulled over, then grabbed Xiao Sis arm and asked, When did Junting have sexual dysfunction? I didnt know about it.

 Chapter 494. How Could She Get Tired of Him? Hell Never Get Tired of Her

    Chapter 494. How Could She Get Tired of Him? He''ll Never Get Tired of Her


    Of course you dont know about that. Xiao Si covered his mouth for a second, then continued, Thats a secret. On hisst mission, he had an ident, because he suffered a huge hit from what happened between his parents. That part of his body was injured. It has been seven years, and he still hasnt recovered.


    So, is he with Xu Luosang only because his body responds to her? Leng Shuangwei held Xiao Sis shoulders and shook him violently.


    Um Dont shake me I feel so dizzy. Xiao Si slowly closed his eyes and didnt open them again.


    Leng Shuangwei looked at him, and her pretty face revealed all sorts of feelings, including delight as well as a trace of sadness.


    At half-past ten, as Luosang got into bed, Nian Junting quietly came to her and slowly put an arm around her waist.


    Luosang held his hand and said, I dont want to do it tonight.


    We didnt fight. Nian Junting blinked his ck eyes.


    I dont want to do it because Im not in a good mood. Besides, we did it for such a long timest night. Im tired. Cant I even have one day off? Luosang lowered her voice and gazed at him ndly. Ever since our first time, Ive only rested for one day, and that was the next day after our first time. We didnt do it that day because I wasnt feeling good. Except for that, weve done it every day.


    Nian Junting opened his mouth, but she didnt let him say anything. Yes, I feel pleasure during sex. She continued, But, it doesnt mean that Im not tired. Plus, I might get bored with this if we keep doing it.


    Bored Nian Junting felt hurt.


    Yes, like how youd get bored eating the same kind of delicacy every day. Youd want to throw up. Luosang nodded.


    Nian Junting let go of her and fell into silence. If she got bored with him, things would be really troublesome. But how could she get tired of him? He would never get tired of her. He enjoyed it so much every single day.


    AlsoYouve seen your ex-girlfriend today. Howe youre still in the mood to do something like this? Luosang asked grumpily.


    Why cant I be in the mood? Youve said that shes my ex-girlfriend. I have nothing to do with her. Nian Junting curled up in the nket, stuck his head out, and looked at Luosang with sad eyes.


    Luosang suddenly didnt know what to say, so she pulled the nket up and closed her eyes to sleep. However, she couldnt sleep, as she was thinking about what had happened in the Feng family.


    Unlike her, Nian Junting quickly fell asleep by her side.


    She gently turned around to look at his handsome face under the moonlight. All kinds of feelings welled up in her heart.


    The next day, she came downstairs with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. Nian Junting was having breakfast and gave her a nce, then he stopped eating and said, We just identally met my ex-girlfriend. Are you really so jealous that you couldnt even sleep well?


    Luosang threw a threatening nce at him. She wouldnt admit to that no matter what, so she responded, I was thinking about my father. After I visited him in prisonst time, Im even more sure that he was framed.


    As she mentioned that, Nian Junting put down his chopsticks and said, Earlier, I sent some people to dig into that case. Recently, I got a message that says the student who testified against your father left An City long ago. She and her whole family have moved to Australia.


    Luosang was stunned. I remember that I asked around about that girl back then. Her family wasnt rich, were they? Her whole family moved abroad? Family migration isnt an easy thing to do, is it?


    Its easy for us, but for ordinary families, its still a little difficult unless someone rich and powerful helped them, said Nian Junting. I think your father really was framed.


    I knew my father wouldnt do it! Ill definitely help him to overturn the verdict! Luosang was so excited.

 Chapter 495. If You Keep Giving Sister Lan a Hard Time, I Wont Go on a Date with You

    Chapter 495. If You Keep Giving Sister Lan a Hard Time, I Won''t Go on a Date with You


    Itll be a little hard to reverse the conviction. Nian Junting thought for a moment and then said, First of all, we need to impeach every witnesss testimony. But in my investigation, all the relevant people have either moved abroad or left An City. Besides, it has been two years, so many details cant be verified now. To re-investigate this case, we need to find all the people who were involved in it, and that will take at least half a year. Also, Yi Jingxi as the key witness is a big problem. As your ex-fiance, his testimony is very powerful. We need to find out what exactly happened between him and your family, so I n to start with him and dig up his real background.


    When I met him, he said that his parents were dead, and that he grew up with an uncle. I believed him, said Luosang, upset.


    Nian Junting shook his head and sighed. Your EQ is truly worrisome.


    Luosang was speechless. Maybe she did have some EQ problems, but his EQ problems were definitely worse than hers.


    Dont worry, Ill handle our fathers problem. Nian Junting dragged her over and made her sit on hisp.


    You said your father a minute ago, but now it has be our father, thought Luosang. She was used to his shamelessness, but after hearing what he said, the unhappiness that she hadst night faded a little. She really shouldnt always think about Leng Shuangwei. He was her man, and she had his virginity. Why would she worry about Leng Shuangwei?


    Lets have dinner outside tonight. Nian Junting put an arm around her waist and picked up a ss of soy milk with the other hand.


    Why? she asked.


    Im tired of eating Sister Lans food every day, he said.


    Sister Lan was serving carrot egg pancake, and her heart broke when she heard that. Young Master, you havent been eating my food every day, have you? You only came back from vacation the day before yesterday, yet youre already tired of my food. Youre not thinking about recing me after a while, are you?


    Nian Junting gave Sister Lan a threatening nce. Youre constantly gaining weight, but never growing smarter. Cant you tell that I was just trying to find an excuse to make a date? heined inwardly.


    Sister Lan, dont worry. If he fires you, Ill leave with you, Luosang hurriedlyforted Sister Lan.


    What do you mean? Am I not as important as Sister Lan in your heart? Nian Junting stared at her aggressively.


    Sister Lan is a special person in my heart, like my mother. Luosang spoke the truth.


    Shes like a mother to you, but she isnt your mother. Nian Junting snorted. But that is good, though. If you ever do something wrong to me or dare to leave me, Ill fire Sister Lan.


    No. Sister Lan was so sad.


    Why are you wearing that extremely worried look? Do you think shell leave me? Nian Junting turned to Sister Lan with a grim look.


    Eh Sister Lans voice trembled.


    If you keep giving Sister Lan a hard time, I wont go on a date with you tonight, Luosang warned him.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting stopped talking.


    Im going wedding dress shopping with Nian Xi today, said Luosang.


    When will you go?


    In the afternoon.


    Alright, Ill go pick you up when youre done, and then well have dinner together, Nian Junting said while quickly finishing his breakfast with one hand. Another thing, mypanys annual vacation will start the day after tomorrow. Therell be arge annual party for employees that night. Ill give a speech at the party and give awards to the outstanding employees. You should attend the party with me.


    I dont think its appropriate. Yourpany lost over a billion because of me this year. Im afraid that they might eat me alive, said Luosang.


    Silly. I want to bring you there and tell them that youre the future Mrs. Nian. Nian Junting smiled. Speaking of which, most of our top managers wives arent pretty. Theyre all as chubby as Sister Lan.

 Chapter 496. My Luo Ting Noodle Resturant Is Going to Open Soon

    Chapter 496. My Luo Ting Noodle Resturant Is Going to Open Soon


    Sister Lan was both angry and sad. She hadnt even left. Young Master, whats so wrong with being like me? The people who look like this are lucky, she said.


    Nian Junting nodded and responded, Youre right, though. Seven years ago when you first came here, you looked like Luo, and now, you look like this. You have clearly been living a good life in my ce.


    Sister Lan didnt know what to say.


    Luosang hurriedly looked at herself. She wouldnt be like Sister Lan in seven years, would she?


    Nian Junting smiled and said, Dont worry. Even if you be like Sister Lan, I still wont abandon you.


    Luosang snorted and said, What makes you think that you have the right to abandon me? Seven years from now, Ill only be 30, while youll be almost 40. Youll be a middle-aged man.


    Nian Juntings face darkened. Nonsense. Ill still be a stylish man when Im 40.


    Luosang almost burst out inughter. Stylish man. Arent you ashamed to say that? she thought.


    Im done talking. I need to go to work. Nian Junting let Luosang go and stood up and said, Ill see you this evening.


    Nian Junting drove to thepany. In the parking lot, he ran into an extremely hung over Xiao Si. Xiao Si was still yawning, and a few buttons of his shirt were left undone.


    When did you go homest night? Nian Junting asked casually.


    I dont remember. I was drunk. I only remember Shuangwei drove me back, nothing else. Xiao Si knocked on his own head and said, You werent a good friendst night. You left so early and let me handle Uncle Feng alone, like you dont know that he never gets drunk.


    Sangsang was jealous. I had no other choice, Nian Junting said expressionlessly.


    I get it. Last night, you and Shuangwei were dressed Xiao Si clicked his tongue and said, You two dressed like a couplest night. I might feel ufortable, too, if I were her. Heughed.


    So its about clothes. No wonder she was down the whole nightst night, said Nian Junting knowingly.


    Butst night, I noticed the look on Shuangweis face. I think she hasnt moved on Xiao Si didnt want to finish his sentence.


    I can understand. Nian Junting nodded and continued, Its indeed difficult for her to forget about being with a perfect man like me. However, she is a soldier. She should be steel-willed like all the other soldiers.


    The corners of Xiao Sis mouth twitched. Shes a woman, after all. Please dont talk about steel-will or something like that, he said.


    Wasnt that what I admired about her back then? said Nian Junting.


    Xiao Si asked, So, do you still admire it now?


    I do. Nian Junting nodded. If this country had more women like that, it might grow stronger. Even though our country is now much stronger than before, in some aspects, theres still some distance between the United States and us. You see, what theyve been doing in the Middle East recently


    D*mn, why are we suddenly talking about global politics? Xiao Si felt so tired. Arent we talking about your ex-girlfriend here? he asked.


    Thats pretty much what I want to say to her. I honestly hope that she can continue to contribute to our country, and I admire her. But now, I find that I like the weak and dramatic girls more, like Sangsang, said Nian Junting.


    Xiao Si sighed. When is Sangsang weak and dramatic?


    There a lot of things that you dont know yet. Youll learn when you get your own girlfriend. After saying that, Nian Junting turned and walked out of the elevator. He walked a few steps, then turned back and continued, Ah, my Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant is opening very soon. Dont forget toe and have some noodles. Ill give you a ten percent discount.


    Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant? Xiao Si was bewildered. He hurriedly pressed a button to reopen the closing elevator door and said, When did you switch to noodle restaurants? Why didnt I know anything about it?

 Chapter 497. Most Importantly, I Am No Longer Single

    Chapter 497. Most Importantly, I Am No Longer Single


    There are ten restaurants in Xia City, all ready for opening. Nian Junting smiled. Thats a surprise for Luo. She loves beef noodles the most. Im letting you know in advance, in case you decide to spread the news.


    The corner of Xiao Sis mouth twitched. Ugh I think Sangsang not only likes beef noodles but also everything else. He found out a little about that during their journey in Shanghai.


    Would she tell you what her favorite food is? You cant know her better than I do, Nian Junting said, then turned and left.


    Xiao Si paused for a moment, then remembered what Nian Junting had said just now Ten percent discount


    D*mn, we grew up together, even shared pants, but hes only going to give me a ten percent discount? What kind of person is he?


    In the office, Lu Kang came in with a file for Nian Junting to sign.


    Ill bring Luosang to Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant for dinner tonight. Let the restaurant manager know, said Nian Junting.


    Sure. Lu Kang nodded.


    Youve made a good business n for the Luo Ting chain restaurants. He nodded and continued approvingly, Time flies. Its the end of another year. I feel that many things happened this year. The most important one is that Im no longer single. Your proposal n wasme, and it made me lose a diamond ring that was worth over a hundred million. But overall, it wasnt bad. Youll get a pay raise.


    After hearing hisst sentence, Lu Kang finally straightened his quivering legs. He really wanted to say, The proposal n was fine. You lost the ring yourself, and that had nothing to do with me. Thank you, Mr. Nian.


    Nian Junting let out a long breath and said, The night after tomorrow, at the award party, everyones bonus will be doubled. After all, this year is special.


    On behalf of all employees, thank you, Mr. Nian. Lu Kang hurriedly nodded. Yes, yes, we know, we should all celebrate together, as this year is the year you finally have a girlfriend, he thought.


    Another thing. Make an hour for me this afternoon. Im going to buy a ring, said Nian Junting.


    Lu Kang almost cried. Mr. Nian, youve taken a rather long vacation. Its already amazing that you dont have to work overtime now. How can I possibly free up an hour in your schedule?


    You think I want this? I lost the ringst time, andst night, Sangsang got jealous. I have to buy a new ring to make her happy. But Xia City is a small city. Normal jewelry stores in this city dont have 19-karat diamond rings in stock. Nian Junting sighed.


    Lu Kang wanted to die. Watching Mr. Nian maintaining his rtionship made him feel hopelessly poor.


    In the afternoon, Luosang finished lunch and rested for a while. After that, Nian Xi drove over to pick her up. Nian Xi apologized once she saw Luosang. Sangsang, Im really sorry aboutst night. I honestly didnt know that Ji Chuan invited Shuangwei.


    Its okay. Luosang smiled, recalling what Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng had said. Nian Xi is close with me now, but after she and Ji Chuan get married, the Feng family will probably try to keep her away from me, she thought. Even if she refuses, she might still fall into a difficult situation.


    Sangsang, whats wrong? Youre being weird. Have you been having thoughts since you met Shuangwei? Nian Xi asked hesitantly. My brother is a freak, but he wont do things that he shouldnt be doing. Hes a very responsible person.


    I know. I was just surprised to see Leng Shuangwei yesterday. Luosang smiled.


    Me, too. Nian Xi sighed. Iined to Ji Chuan yesterday. I was really quite mad. I dont know why, but yesterday, I felt a gap between him and me for the very first time. Actually, I dont know him as well as I thought I did.


    Dont let me affect your rtionship. Luosang felt a little guilty. Its understandable. After all, Ji Chuan and I arent familiar with each other.

 Chapter 498. Luosang Felt As If She Had Been Brainwashed Recently

    Chapter 498. Luosang Felt As If She Had Been Brainwashed Recently


    Ugh, Sangsang, youre really considerate. Thinking about what Ji Chuan had saidst night, Nian Xi was getting a little disappointed again. Luosang didnt know Ji Chuan better than he knew her, but she had been putting herself in his position while he didnt do the same. Nian Xi didnt like that about Ji Chuan and felt strange about it. In her eyes, Ji Chuan should do what Luosang did.


    Alright, lets go. Didnt you make an appointment with the wedding dress store? Dont bete. Luosang got into the car and said, Ji Chuan will be there too, wont he?


    He needs to visit the director of the Xia City Military Region, so helleter, said Nian Xi.


    Is it for his transfer? asked Luosang.


    Nian Xi nodded. We hope that he can get a transfer back here early this year. Tonight, some people from the military region will go to my home for dinner. Ji Chuan and I both need to be there.


    Luosang nodded and said, Your father likes Ji Chuan.


    Yeah, he was hoping that my brother could take over his duties, but my brother had an ident and returned from the army. So now he has no other choice but to pin his hopes on Ji Chuan, said Nian Xi. My dad wanted Ji Chuan to make some solid contributions out there, so he can get promoted in the future. Thankfully, Ji Chuan did pretty well over the past few years.


    Time flew as they chatted in the car. Soon after, they arrived at the wedding dress store. It was the most luxurious wedding dress store in Xia City. They didnt provide rental service, so the customers could only purchase ready-to-wear pieces or custom wedding dresses. Every single suit or wedding dress in that store was a high-end foreign brand.


    Luosang walked in and saw the delicate wedding dresses ced in the disy window on both sides of the store. Some of them were cute, and some were sexy Every woman wanted to be like a star at her own wedding, and so did she. Sometimes, she couldnt help imagining her own wedding.


    Nian Xi smiled and said, Sangsang, would do like to try one on? Youve epted my brothers proposal, anyway. Ill take a photo and send it to him.


    No, Im not the one whos getting married. Im a few years younger than you, so I have lots of patience, Luosang said jokingly.


    Are youughing at me because Im older than you? Nian Xi crossed her arms and snorted.


    So you know? said Luosang.


    Nian Xi clenched her teeth.


    Luosang chuckled, nced at all the wedding dresses in the disy windows, and said, Ah, I think this one is beautiful. The embroidery is exquisite. Are those diamonds or pearls?


    Those are diamonds. Miss, you really have good eyes. The store manager smiled fawningly, saying, This is the most expensive wedding dress in our store. It is worth 68,000,000 yuan.


    Luosang gasped in shock. As she prepared to say the words so expensive, Nian Xi eximed, So cheap!


    Is 68,000,000 cheap? Youre really his little sister, Luosang thought. Luosang felt as if she had been brainwashedtely, because she no longer had a clear sense of money.


    The smile on the shop managers face froze for a second, then grew evenrger. Its indeed cheap for someone like Miss Nian, she said. Miss Nian, would you like to try it on? I believe youll look stunning in it, as you have the perfect body shape.


    Nian Xi shook her head and said, Ill just look for some other ones.


    Dont you like it? asked Luosang. Didnt you say that its cheap?


    It is cheap. Its not even as expensive as one of my mothers rings. However, its not cheap for the Feng family. They are military people, not as wealthy as business people like us. Take my dad as an example. His sry and my moms ie are like hell and heaven. Also, we have to keep things low-key, as were going to have a military wedding. Many army officers wille to our wedding, so if we dress luxuriously, people might say bad things about the Feng family.


    Luosang now understood. She had even forgotten that they were going to have a military wedding.

 Chapter 499. I Wont Let My Woman Get Married in Such a Cheap Wedding Dress

    Chapter 499. I Won''t Let My Woman Get Married in Such a Cheap Wedding Dress


    Suddenly, Luosang started to really admire Nian Xi. As a wealthy girl, she was actually willing to step into a military marriage for Ji Chuan. Ji Chuans future in the military world was boundless, though.


    You can wear this at your wedding, if you like it. Ill take a picture and send it to my brother. Nian Xi jumped into action so quickly that Luosang didnt manage to stop her.


    Not long after she sent the picture, CEO Nian repliedToo cheap. I wont let my woman get married in such a cheap wedding dress.


    Brother, have you thought about how Im feeling? Im going to be a bride who can only wear an even chapter wedding dress. Nian Xis feelings were hurt terribly.


    NopeCEO Nian.


    Nian Xi turned to Luosang and said, I was wrong. I shouldnt send the picture to my brother.


    Luosang chuckled and responded, Its alright. In fact, the price of the wedding dress isnt important. What is important, is the person that youre marrying.


    Thats right though. Nian Xi nodded.


    Atst, she picked a few wedding dresses to try on, each of which was worth about $100,000. Luosang waited outside the fitting room. As Nian Xi was trying the second dress on, Feng Ji Chuan arrived. He hadnte alone. He was with Leng Shuangwei.


    Luosang had no idea that she would see Leng Shuangwei again so soon, so she was stunned. When Feng Ji Chuan and Leng Shuangwei walked up to her, she was amazed by Leng Shuangweis height. Leng Shuangwei was really tall, much taller than Luosang. A sharp vibe had been radiating from her, as she was standing very straight.


    Miss Xu, good to see you again, Leng Shuangwei greeted Luosang.


    Luosang nodded.


    Wheres Xi? asked Ji Chuan.


    In the fitting room. Shes trying on a wedding dress. Luosang was a little embarrassed. Before she hade here, she thought that she might see Ji Chuan, so she had prepared herself for that, but to her surprise, Leng Shuangwei had shown up as well. It seemed that Nian Xi didnt know about this.


    Ah, Nian Xi has picked a few suits for you just now, she said.


    These. Once she said that, the shop assistant handed over the suits.


    Xi always has good taste. Leng Shuangwei smiled. I like that blue one.


    Ill try it on first, then. Ji Chuan took the blue suit.


    Sangsang, look at this Nian Xi came out in a handmade, sweetheart neck wedding dress. Before finishing her sentence, she was stunned at the sight of Ji Chuan and Leng Shuangwei. A short whileter, she murmured, Shuangwei, why are you here?


    I met Ji Chuan on my way to Director Zhao, Leng Shuangwei exined. He said that youre trying on wedding dresses and invited me here.


    Ji Chuan gave a smile and said, Didnt you say that you havent found your maid of honor? I think Shuangwei can do that. Shes a friend to both of us. Also, didnt you say that you want your brother to be my best man? Have you picked a suit for him yet?


    Luosang found it hard to maintain the smile on her face. She thought Feng Ji Chuan wasnt interested in her, but today, she realized that what he had toward her was way worse than mere disinterest.


    I was kidding. Nian Xi honestly wanted to curse Ji Chuan, but she couldnt be too straightforward, as both Luosang and Leng Shuangwei were on the scene. With no other choice, she forced a smile and said, I meant if Luosang is my maid of honor, my brother can be your best man. And Ill have to beg my brother for that. He might not agree. But now Shuangwei is my maid of honor, so how can you still want my brother to be your best man? Do you want my mom to scold me to death?


    Ji Chuan pressed his lips together and stayed silent. Leng Shuangwei had a faintly embarrassed look sh across her face.


    Nian Xi hurriedly added, Shuangwei, I didnt mean to hurt your feelings. My mom hasnt forgotten what happened years ago, and I think your dad wont want to see my dad, right?

 Chapter 500. Miss Leng, Youre Already in the Past Tense

    Chapter 500. Miss Leng, You''re Already in the Past Tense


    Leng Shuangwei nodded and said, Ask Si to be the best man. I think hes good.


    Its a deal then. Ji Chuan nodded and said, Shuangwei, go and pick a gown.


    Sure. Leng Shuangwei turned and followed a shop assistant to choose the gown.


    Ji Chuan finally turned his eyes to Nian Xi and said to her, Xi, this wedding dress looks nice.


    Because of what he had just done and said, Nian Xi was no longer in the mood to try on other wedding dresses. Since you said its good, well take it. Ill go get changed. At that moment, all she wanted to do was to get changed ande back out as quickly as possible, in case Luosang and Leng Shuangwei might have to face each other alone.


    Luosang guessed what Nian Xi was thinking, so she hurriedly said to her, Didnt we pick four dresses? Youve only tried on two of them. Just continue, try them all on once before making the decision. Your wedding day will be the most important day of your life. Make it perfect.


    But Nian Xi hesitated.


    Miss Xu is right. Ji Chuan nodded and said to Nian Xi affectionately, Maybe the other dresses are even prettier? I cant buy you the most expensive wedding dress, but you have to pick the most beautiful one.


    Nian Xi got a little soft-hearted. Under Luosangs gaze, she nodded, then went back into the changing room.


    After Nian Xi disappeared into the changing room, Luosang said to Ji Chuan, Mr. Feng, I know that you may not like me. But after all, you and Nian Xi are getting married very soon. I think anyhow, that we should put aside our prejudice and not do anything that might hurt your rtionship with Nian Xi.


    Like bringing Shuangwei here? Ji Chuan frowned slightly and said, Nian Xi and I grew up together. Our rtionship cant be unstable so easily. I have no bad intentions toward you, as the rtionship between you and Junting is firm enough not to be affected by me bringing over his ex-girlfriend. Also, dont think of Shuangwei as an indecent person.


    Luosang smiled and said, Im sorry. I dont know Leng Shuangwei well, so I wont make anyments about her. All I can say is that I admire her for what she does and admire her spirit. But Mr. Feng, you need to be clear that the girl in the changing room is your fiancee, while the one out here is your friend.


    What do you mean? Ji Chuans eyes turned slightly cold. You think something is going on between Shuangwei and me?


    I didnt say that. We can have opposite-sex friends, I understand that. But there are some things that we shouldnt overdo, so we dont upset our other halves. No matter how close you are as friends, she is still a girl, Luosang exined meaningfully.


    I dont need you to lecture me. Ji Chuan picked up a suit and walked into the changing room.


    In less than two seconds after he left, Leng Shuangwei walked over behind a shop assistant. She picked a long pink gown. It was a nice color for the maid of honor. You go in first, she said to the shop assistant.


    The shop assistant nodded.


    As only the two of them were left on the outside, Luosang started talking first. Miss Leng, is there something that you want to say to me?


    You are the girlfriend of the man whom Ive been deeply in love with, so I want to greet you, sincerely. Leng Shuangwei was tall enough to look down at Luosang.


    Luosang stopped smiling. Miss Leng, you are quite frank, she said.


    I got used to being straightforward in the army. Ive liked Junting ever since I was a child, Leng Shuangwei said honestly.


    Luosang paused for a second without knowing what to say. She felt that Leng Shuangwei had quite weird taste, as she liked Nian Junting, who had obviously been a weirdo since he was little. Luosang now liked Nian Junting very much too, but that only happened after she had spent a while getting to know him. And since she had started to like Nian Junting, she often felt that she was bing weird as well.


    I am very sorry, Miss Leng. Youre already in the past tense. He likes me now, said Luosang.

 Chapter 501. If You Really Understand Him, Youll Find the Good in Him

    Chapter 501. If You Really Understand Him, You''ll Find the Good in Him


    Yeah? You think you know him well? Leng Shuangwei fixed her sharp eyes on Luosang and looked a little aggressive. What do you know about him?


    I know that hes hard to get along with, but when you understand him, youll find the good in him. Luosang wore a nd look. But Miss Leng, I dont think I need to say this to you. You two broke up long ago.


    Do you know why Junting was single for such a long time, until he met you? Leng Shuangweis pretty face showed faint pity.


    Luosangs heart missed a beat. Leng Shuangweis words seemed to have some other meaning. She stayed silent but calmly looked Leng Shuangwei in the eyes.


    Eight years ago, he was injured during a mission in the army. Do you know which part of his body was injured? Leng Shuangwei asked.


    Luosang was puzzled for a second, then responded, I dont know. But he said that because of that injury, he couldnt stay in the army. Thats why he retired.


    Yeah, one part of his body was injured, and that is the most important part of a mans body. I think you know what I mean. Leng Shuangwei carefully observed every expression on Luosangs face.


    Luosang remained silent. Did Leng Shuangwei mean that part? How could Nian Junting have such arge sexual appetite if he had that kind of problem?


    In fact, the injury was healed years ago. However, because of some psychological problems, he couldnt recover until he met you. You unintentionally touched him when cleaning his body, and his body responded to you. Thats why he decided to be with you. Until now, only you could make his body respond. Do you understand? He wouldnt have chosen you, if not for physiological needs. I admit that youre pretty, and that youre good at studying. But there are countless pretty girls around Nian Junting, and almost every one of them has overseas education.


    Leng Shuangweis voice became pressing. We all know about this. Otherwise, why do you think his mother epted you so easily? Aunt Murong knows about his illness, and the Nian Family needs descendants. He doesnt love you. He never started any other rtionships after we broke up, and neither did I. All these years, I often missed him so badly. But as long as I knew that he was still single, Id still have hope.


    Luosangs head was buzzing. She never knew about that illness. She thought carefully, then recalled that when she gave Nian Junting a sponge bath for the first time, his body did react, and he seemed to be excited about it. Afterward, he hurriedly called Doctor Han and Xiao Si, and he didnt let her hear their conversation. After that, Murong Cheng suddenly showed up, sent Steward Wu away, and let her give Nian Junting close care.


    If you dont believe me, you can go back and try to find the medical records. I believe therell be many records, as he has been through years of treatments, said Leng Shuangwei. Miss Xu, I said all this to you for your own good. Juntings body is now reacting to you, but that doesnt mean he has recovered. He has psychological problems. Do you think hell still need you after he recovers? I believe that youre an independent woman, and that you dont exist just to fulfill someones needs.


    Luosang tightened her cheeks. She tried not to act inappropriately, but her hands, which were hiding in her sleeves, had already clenched into fists. Even her slow breathing was giving her pain. She felt that someone was violently pping her face.


    What was she? A tool to fulfill his sexual needs? Her heart shivered. A whileter, she raised her head and gave a smile, as she wasnt willing to admit defeat. So Miss Leng, would you like to try it with Nian Junting and see if his body reacts to you, too?


    As Luosang hadnt copsed as she expected, Leng Shuangwei was a little stunned. In the army, she admired women like that. However, she felt a little vexed now, as Luosang was her rival in love.


    Have you tried it with him? As far as I know, he was a virgin before we got together, said Luosang coldly. You just said that you had hope knowing he was single. What was to be hoped for? Did you think he had that disease because he couldnt forget you and loved you so deeply? Youre right. If I wasnt able to cure him, I wouldnt have had a chance to be with him. But if he was healthy, would you have had a chance? He would have had girlfriends long ago. And, I dont think he ever missed you as his first girlfriend.


    Leng Shuangweis sharp eyes showed an intense change of emotion. Luosangs words were like sharp swords.


    Do you think hed choose you if I left? Luosang smiled and continued, Would Ms. Murong ever ept you? Im afraid that the entire Nian Family wouldnt ept you. Miss Leng, Im going to give you a piece of advice. For some things, you need to think positively. It has been so long. If its not yours, dont be obsessive. I can tell you this. Last night, you and Junting saw each other again. Maybe you thought that he would be choked up with emotion and have all sorts ofplicated feelings, but you were wrong. When we got back, he only wanted to have sex with me. He has forgotten all about his puppy love. Even if Im only someone to fulfill his needs, Im still better than you. Luosang was not a pushover. Back when Yi Jingxi and Zhong Yi had humiliated her again and again, she had survived. The current situation was nothing to her, as Leng Shuangwei was alone.


    Miss Xu, you are a woman. Please respect yourself. You dont need to be so aggressive. I didnt mean to humiliate you. Leng Shuangweis face somehow sharpened. As for whether Junting will choose me in the future, thatll depend on what we can do. Ill go try the gown on. She walked straight into another fitting room.


    Luosang remained standing quietly. Her slim reflection could be seen on the wall in front of her. She had acted like a winner just now, but at this moment, she looked like a rooster that had just lost a fight. She had only won with words. What if what Leng Shuangwei said was true? That was so ridiculous. A man was with her because of his sexual needs? How could such an illness even exist in this world?


    Nian Xi came out from the changing room whileining, This dress has suchplicatesces. It took me forever to get them right. Seeing Luosang staring at the wall, she paused for a second, then asked, Sangsang, whats wrong? Shuangwei didnt say anything to you, did she? While speaking, she hurriedly looked around, rmed.


    No. Luosang forced a smile and said, You look nice in this dress, too.


    Yeah, I think every dress is pretty. Well, sometimes being too beautiful can bring you trouble, too. Nian Xi chuckled.


    Wait for Ji Chuan to see this. Hes the bridegroom. You should choose whichever he likes, Luosang suggested.


    Dont mention him to me. Im really mad at him right now, Nian Xiined.


    Right at that moment, Feng Ji Chuan walked out in a dark blue suit. He looked tall and strong in that suit. Even Luosang couldnt help but admit that he was very manly-looking. He looked handsome in military suits and no less charming in a business suit. No wonder Nian Xi loved him so deeply all the time.

    What was she? A tool to fulfill his sexual needs? Her heart shivered. A whileter, she raised her head and gave a smile, as she wasnt willing to admit defeat. So Miss Leng, would you like to try it with Nian Junting and see if his body reacts to you, too?

 Chapter 503. He Had Been Keeping This So Strictly Secret From He

    Chapter 503. He Had Been Keeping This So Strictly Secret From He


    No matter how handsome he was, she was now in no mood to appreciate his good looks.


    Xi, since Ji Chuan and Miss Leng are both here, Ill be leaving. Youve tried a few on, anyway. Later, theyll help you with the decision, said Luosang.


    Nian Xi wanted to ask Luosang to stay, but understood how awkward she was feeling. It wasnt appropriate to force her to stay.


    But, how will you get back Maybe you can grab a seat somewhere and have a cup of coffee. Ill drive you backter. Nian Xi honestly felt guilty.


    Its okay. Ill just take a taxi. You take your time, no rush. Luosang nced at Feng Ji Chuan.


    Miss Xu, thank you for help, said Ji Chuan politely.


    Youre wee. Luosang curved her lips in a faint smile, then turned and left.


    As Luosang disappeared from her sight, Nian Xi angrily red at Ji Chuan. Before she said anything, Leng Shuangwei came out of the fitting room in the dress that she had picked. Nian Xi had no choice but to choke back the words on her lips and force a smile.


    Luosang returned to the vi by taxi. Steward Wu had gone out to walk Xiaosi, and Sister Lan was sitting on the couch, having a video chat with her friends. Seeing Luosange back, she greeted her. Sangsang, werent you shopping for wedding dresses with Miss Nian? Why are you back so soon?


    Its done, Luosang said, then quickly went upstairs to the bedroom. She dropped her bag and searched through the room, but found no medical records at all, not even the records about Nian Juntings spine injury. Normally, people wouldnt throw medical records away, so she assumed that they were collected somewhere in this house.


    She searched in the study, but still found nothing. Atst, she went to the storage room on the top floor and rummaged around for a while. Before giving up, she found a stack of files from the innermost shelf, including medical certifications,boratory test reports, CT scans, X-rays, and all sorts of other records. The one on top was the record of his spine injury, which had happenedst year. Luosang read those files from front to back. Some of those records were from his military years, and some were his annual medical examination reports.


    When she had almost given up and believed that Leng Shuangwei made that story up, she suddenly found an X-ray of a male reproductive system that was taken half a month ago. They hadnt yet started having sex at that time.


    Her heart sank as she continued reading those files. Finally, she found a series of records regarding the male reproductive system. Some of them were from specialized hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai, and some were from New York, France, and many other ces. The oldest ones were dated eight years ago, and the newest one was from half a month ago. Luosang put down those files, feeling like she was sitting in an ice house. What Leng Shuangwei said was true.


    Until now, Nian Juntings body wasnt able to react to any other woman but her. He had such a strong sexual desire. He wanted it every single night, so of course, he needed someone to satisfy his needs. She was that woman to satisfy his needs. He proposed to her because his body only responded to her. He had no other choice.


    He said that he liked her, and that he wouldnt do the things that he shouldnt be doing, but those were lies. He had been keeping the truth so strictly secret from her. She couldnt describe the feelings that she had when putting those medical records back onto the shelf.


    Back in the bedroom, Luosang sat on the balcony. She didnt know how long she spent there until the ringing of her phone woke her up from her thoughts. She nced at the phone and saw Nian Juntings name on the screen. It was half-past five already.


    She didnt answer the call, but muted her phone and let it keep buzzing.

 Chapter 504. I Told Young Master that Youre on Your Period

    Chapter 504. I Told Young Master that You''re on Your Period


    Nian Junting called her repeatedly for a while, and then Nian Xi called her. Luosang didnt answer even one call. Five minutester, Sister Lan knocked on the door, came in, and said, Sangsang, I thought you were sleeping. Young Master has been calling you all this time. Why dont you answer his calls? He is really worried about you. He thought you had an ident.


    Luosang invigorated herself with an effort to look back at Sister Lan. Perhaps Sister Lan was the only one in this house who truly cared about her. Tell him that I wont go, she said.


    Why? Sister Lan was stunned. Arent you two going to have a candlelight dinner? Did Young Master make you unhappy? Or are you feeling unwell?


    No, I just dont want to go. Luosang turned her face away.


    Alright. Sister Lan felt it was inappropriate for her to ask any further questions, so she turned around and called Nian Junting. Sangsangs aunty came to visit her. She isnt feeling well.


    Aunty? Nian Junting was surprised. Sangsang doesnt even have a mother. Where did this aunty from? Did her aunty make her angry? Shes even feeling unwell.


    Sister Lan was speechless for a while. Young Master, by aunty, I mean shes on her period, not a real aunty, she exined.


    Just say period then. Why say aunty? Soplicated. Nian Junting sighed with relief. But why is she suddenly on her period? The app on my phone didnt remind me about that.


    Menstruation can be irregr sometimes. It may start earlier orter, said Sister Lan.


    Is that normal?


    Yes, yes.


    Alright, Ille home for dinner.


    Sister Lan ended the call, then turned and said to Luosang, Sangsang, you heard that. I told Young Master that youre on your period. I dont know why youre having a fight, but Young Master is certainly gonna be upset because you stood him up. Just dont tell him the truth, and dont tell him that I lied. If he knew that I lied to him, hed deduct it from my wages.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She was sad, but after hearing what Sister Lan said, she was very speechless.


    Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant


    Nian Junting ended the call, stood up from the chair, and said, Im not gonna eat here. Close up for today.


    The shop manager was a little confused. Mr. Nian, the restaurant has almost been turned into an ocean of flowers. The chef spent an entire day preparing the beef soup. Arent you gonna taste it


    Yeah, my woman is on her period. She cant be here, so welle some other day. Nian Junting frowned and said, Give these flowers and the beef soup to your wife.


    These are all imported flowers. Theyre very expensive. The shop manager felt pain over the wasted money. In fact, being on her period isnt a big deal. You can just send the chauffeur to pick her up.


    I can do nothing about it. She doesnt want toe, and I cant force her. Maybe my womans period is unique. It just made her especially fragile. Nian Junting sighed and slowly walked toward the door. By the door, he stopped and continued, Wait, she loves beef noodles the most. Just pack some for me, and dont put too much chili in it.


    Yes, sir. The shop manager nodded hurriedly.


    After getting into the car with the packed beef noodles, Nian Junting got a call from Nian Xi.


    Brother, have you found Sangsang yet?


    Shes at home. Shes on her period, not feeling well.


    Good, then. Nian Xi sighed with relief.


    Bye. As Nian Xi put her phone down, Ji Chuan said to her as he was driving, Now you can rx. Shes alright. Shes an adult. Shell be fine.


    Nian Xi turned to look at him silently. She had missed him countless times and thought fondly of the time that they spent together. But now, she found him bing more and more unfamiliar to her.


    Ji Chuan, did you know that Im really angry today? I said so much to youst night. You knew that I asked Sangsang toe help me choose a wedding dress, so why did you suddenly bring Shuangwei over?

 Chapter 505. Do You Think Our Wedding Will Be Too Happy?

    Chapter 505. Do You Think Our Wedding Will Be Too Happy?


    I brought her here because I wanted her to try on the maid of honors gown. Ji Chuan frowned. Didnt I exin that to you?


    Speaking of maid of honor, now lets talk about that. When did I ask her to be my maid of honor? Nian Xi felt irritable and angry.


    Before, when we got engaged. You said Shuangwei had to be your maid of honor, said Ji Chuan.


    As you said, that was before. How long has it been? Seven or eight years. My dad and her mom hadnt had an affair back at that time, said Nian Xi. She was driven beyond endurance.


    Ji Chuan detected the unhappiness from her words. But you said yesterday that she was a victim, too


    Yes, she was, but so were my brother and I. How many more times do you need me to say this? I dont hate her, and were still friends, but before you asked her to be my maid of honor, did you think about my mothers feelings? The more she talked, the angrier Nian Xi got. Ji Chuan, you werent a victim of what happened back then, so you dont understand how we feel.


    Ji Chuan exined, It has been so many years. Maybe your mother still hates Aunt Jiang, but she watched Shuangwei grow up


    You said that because you dont understand how women feel. Aunt Jiang used to be my moms best friend. But in the end, she got together with my dad. Now, you want the daughter of the woman who took away her husband to be her own daughters maid of honor? Thats like piercing a thorn into her heart.


    Nian Xi turned to look at Ji Chuan and continued, A mother should feel touched and happy at her daughters wedding, but because of what you did, she will only be reminded of that ugly history. If you dont believe me, you can call my mom and talk to her right now to see how shell react and what attitude shell have toward you.


    Ji Chuan fell into silence.


    Nian Xi carried on, Whats even more ridiculous is that you actually asked my brother to be your best man just now. Do you think our wedding will be too happy? Is that why you brought up such a ridiculous suggestion, to upset everyone?


    Xi, is that how you think about me? Ji Chuan tightened his voice. Weve been through so much, and we are finally getting married. Do you have to say those hurtful words?


    You felt that way, because youve never considered my feelings. Nian Xis face wore disappointment. First, you decided not toe back without considering my, your fiancees, feelings. Now, as were finally getting married, you refused to consider my mothers feelings, and my brothers, and neither are you aware of what a difficult position you have put me in.


    Is this because of Shuangwei? Ji Chuan knitted his eyebrows. Shes been our mutual friend since long ago. Dont you already know that? Havent I been considering your brothers feelings? Hes my best friend. Would I ever hurt him?


    You heard it just now. My brother has been calling me the whole time, saying that Sangsang wont answer his calls. Im just too ashamed to tell him that Sangsang met Shuangwei this afternoon when shopping for wedding dresses with me.


    Nian Xi gave a bitter smile. This morning, he called me specially to tell me that before the wedding, do not invite Sansang to any asions that Shuangwei will be at, in case she sees Shuangwei and gets unhappy. But that happened this afternoon, because you brought Shuangwei over. If I told my brother about what happened, hed have a problem with you. I didnt tell him, because I dont want to ruin your friendship that hassted for so many years.


    Ji Chuan rubbed his forehead and responded, What do you want me to do, then? Shuangwei has tried on her maid of honors gown already, and shes sincerely happy for us getting married. But now, you dont want her to be your maid of honor. How would she feel about that?

 Chapter 506. Why Wont You Even Look at Me?

    Chapter 506. Why Won''t You Even Look at Me?


    Yeah, you only care about her feelings. Nian Xi nodded, feeling indescribably sad. Youre ignoring my feelings. Is she your fiancee or am I?


    How can you say something like that? Shes our mutual friend. Ji Chuans face showed disappointment as well. Not to mention the fact that she was a victim, too. Didnt she avoiding home because of your brother? Shes been through many hardships out there over the years. You were a soldier too, so you know how hard being a female soldier can be. Why cant you just be more considerate to her?


    Be more considerate to her? Wholl be considerate to me, then? Nian Xi closed her eyes and said, Pull over.


    Stop being unreasonable, said Ji Chuan.


    I said, pull over, Nian Xi repeated loudly. Or Ill jump.


    Only after hearing that did Ji Chuan slowly stop the car by the roadside. Nian Xi quickly opened the door and got out of the car.


    Were getting married soon. Do you have to do this now? Ji Chuan grabbed her arm. Only for Xu Luosang?


    This isnt only for Sangsang. This is more for myself. Nian Xi raised her head. Her eyes had turned slightly red. Ji Chuan, do you love me?


    Why would I marry you if I didnt care about you


    Do you love me? Nian Xi interrupted him.


    Ji Chuan paused briefly, slightly opened his mouth, but stayed silent for a few seconds.


    Alright, I get it. Nian Xi threw off his hand, turned, and left.


    Xi, what do you know? Come back with me. Ji Chuan leaned forward and grasped her hand again.


    I know that you wouldnt hesitate at all if you loved me. Nian Xi freed her own hand from him once again and burst out screaming, If you asked me the same question, Id give you an answer immediately. What about you? You needed to hesitate, to think. What is your love to me? I think you should think carefully about why youre marrying me. Are you marrying me because of responsibility or because of guilt? After saying that, she called a taxi and left.


    Feng Ji Chuan stood there watching the taxi leave. His eyes contained a trace of confusion.

    Nian Junting walked in with the beef noodles. Seeing himing back, Sister Lan flinched with a guilty feeling and said, Young Master, Sangsang is upstairs.


    Nian Junting went upstairs. The light in the bedroom was on. Luosang was curled up on the couch, ying a game with her phone. She didnt raise her head when he came in.


    Im back. Why wont you even look at me? Nian Junting walked up to her and bent over to look at her face. Why didnt you answer my calls? I called you many times. We made a date this morning. I know that youre on your period, but you could have told me about that. I waited there for half an hour.


    Luosang ignored him but kept ying the game.


    Stop ying that. Nian Junting took away her phone, then took a deep breath and said, Never mind. Women are always in weird moods during their periods. I dont me you. Sister Lan says that you dont feel well. Whats wrong? Should I call Doctor Han?


    Luosang finally raised her head to look straight at his handsome face. She just couldnt understand why he had sexual dysfunction, and why that illness was so weird that his body only responded to her. Does he like me even a little bit? she wondered.


    Why are you looking at me like that? Nian Junting frowned. Are you feeling extremely unwell? Cant you even talk? Im calling Doctor Han right now.


    Im not. Luosang finally started talking in a tired voice, Dont call him. I just want a quiet moment.


    Eat some beef noodles then. Nian Junting put the packed beef noodles on the tea table.

 Chapter 507. From Now On, I Hate Beef Noodles the Most

    Chapter 507. From Now On, I Hate Beef Noodles the Most


    Instead of eating the beef noodles, Luosang wanted to pour them on Nian Juntings head. I dont want to eat them, she said.


    Why? Nian Junting said, stunned, These are your favorite beef noodles.


    When did I say that my favorite is beef noodles? Luosang got angry. Thats what youve been thinking the whole time. Youve never really tried to know about me.


    Howe you think I dont know about you? Nian Junting didnt like what she had said. I know you from head to toe. I even know your favorite sex position.


    Normally, Luosang would feel shy if she heard that, but today, that brought up an objection. Alright, tell me my favorite food, she said.


    Beef noodles.


    What I hate the most?


    Yi Jingxi.


    What I hate to do the most?


    Leave Nian Junting.


    Luosang was speechless.


    Did I get all correct answers? He looked at her confidently.


    All wrong. Luosang closed her eyes and said, We live together. Have you really not noticed what I eat the most or what I always order? My favorite food is shrimp, and what I hate the most are steam buns and cabbage. The thing I hate the most is people lying to me. The answers you just gave are only what you think.


    Nian Junting blinked and nodded. Ill keep those in mind, but dont always question me. Let me ask you the same questions, and please answer them.


    Okay, said Luosang. Your favorite food is fish, and the food you like the least are green vegetables. The thing you hate the most is people disobeying you.


    Youre wrong. I like all the food you make, and of course, what I like to eat the most is you. The kind of food that I hate the most is unclean food. The thing I dislike the most is you giving other men gifts. Nian Junting smiled and said, You see, you cant get all the answers right either, so dont always use me.


    Luosang rubbed her chest. Her heart was aching, and she was full of sadness already, but now, aside from that sadness, she also felt strong depression. Yeah, you like to eat me the most. You can just say that you like to have sex the most, she said.


    Yeah, I like to have sex. I like it the most. Nian Junting nodded.


    Luosang sneered. Im really sorry then. Im on my period, so I cant do it with you.


    Nian Junting knitted his eyebrows and responded, Yeah, Ill have to wait for a week.


    Get out! Luosang ran out of patience.


    Eat the beef noodles then?


    Im not going to eat them. From now on, I hate beef noodles the most. Luosang threw the beef noodles to the floor.


    Nian Junting stared at the beef noodles. That was the first bowl of beef noodles that the Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant had made for her, and he had put months of effort into that noodle restaurant. However, she had thrown it on the floor just like that. What she had wasted was not only a bowl of beef noodles but also his heart.


    Luosang calmed down after making the crazy move. She didnt know what had happened to her just now. She just suddenly lost control of herself. Hearing him mentioning sex, she felt especially annoyed. She really wanted to be frank with him and ask him some questions. However, she believed that he would never admit to having that illness.


    She had given so much for this rtionship, so she wanted to stay calm and to feel it with her heart carefully. However, the more she felt, the more she found that he was all about sex now.


    The two of them spent a short while staring at each other silently. Nian Junting took a few deep breaths in a row to prevent himself from losing his temper with a woman who was on her period. Does your period make you crazy? I wont fight with you. Nian Junting went downstairs and asked Sister Lan toe up to clean the floor.

 Chapter 508. He Said That Maybe Youre Having Endocrine Dysfunction

    Chapter 508. He Said That Maybe You''re Having Endocrine Dysfunction


    Downstairs, Nian Junting called Doctor Han. My girlfriend is on her period, and shes being unreasonably mad at me the whole time. What should I do?


    Doctor Han responded, Eh Im a doctor, not a womens studies specialist. Did you do something that made her angry?


    No.


    Is she having a stomachache? Is she in a bad mood? asked Doctor Han.


    I only know that shes feeling ufortable. Also, her period started earlier than normal.


    Maybe she has endocrine dysfunction. I heard that women with endocrine dysfunction can be short-tempered and moody.


    Thats possible. Nian Junting nodded. How do you fix that?


    Give her a light diet, make her exercise more, dont pressure her, and dont argue with her, just tolerate her. Also, a high-quality sex life is necessary. A part of the cause might be acking sex life. Doctor Han sighed. Ive made you an appointment with Doctor Liang, an expert in psychology. You should make time to see him.


    Why? I think Im very healthy. Nian Juntings face darkened.


    Yeah, youre healthy when youre with Miss Xu. Butst time, you didnt pass the examination that we did in the hospital. The doctor said that youre healthy in a physiological aspect, so it might be some psychological problem, said Doctor Han. I think it has something to do with what happened between your parents.


    So what? Ill marry only Luosang anyway. I wont do anything with any other woman. Itll be good as long as my body responds to her, said Nian Junting.


    Doctor Han sighed, Have you ever thought about why youre with her? Is it because shes the only one who can cure you, or because you really like her. Even if you do like her now, you might stop liking her someday. And when that happens, youll have to maintain your rtionship with her because of this illness youre having.


    Why would I stop liking her? Nian Junting was confused. I like her now, and Ill always like her. Han Ming, you wont cheat on your wife in the future, will you? Should I talk to your wife?


    Han Ming was nearly driven crazy. Thats not what I mean. Im just thinking from your perspective.


    Nian Junting sneered and said, Most men are awful nowadays. Bye. After saying that, he ended the call, then sat on the couch to think about what Han Ming said about endocrine dysfunction.


    Lack of sex life? Hadnt they been having enough sex? Wasnt one time per day enough? Nian Junting tried to figure something out.


    At dinner time, Sister Lan dragged Luosang downstairs for dinner. She didnt look at Nian Junting the entire time. Nian Junting quickly finished his food, then cleared his throat and said to Luosang, Luo, Ive talked to Doctor Han. He said that maybe you have endocrine dysfunction. You can think about doing some sports, such as running, also, I think we can increase the frequency of that thing, from one time per night to twice.


    Luosang gripped her chopsticks, wanting to smash her rice bowl on Nian Juntings head. Couldnt one-time-per-night satisfy him anymore? Did he need to do it twice per night now? She believed that Nian Junting knew how tired she was but refused to consider her feelings. She didnt understand how she had fallen for a man like that.


    As Nian Junting prepared to continue talking, his phone began ringing. It was a call from Nian Qingyun. What is it about? he said ndly.


    Something very important, said Nian Qingyun angrily. Your sister just told me that she wont get married to Ji Chuan. Im pissed off. It was all fine yesterday. Why has she suddenly decided to cancel the wedding? Did something happen? I asked her why, and she actually told me that she needs to think about it, because this will affect her whole life, and that she doesnt want to do this in haste, in case she might regret it in the future. How is this in haste? They have been engaged for such a long time, and shes been waiting for Ji Chuan all these years. Ive already told everyone about the wedding, and these days, Ive been introducing Ji Chuan to my subordinates as my future son-inw. What on earth is Nian Xi thinking?

 Chapter 509. I, Nian Xi, Will Only Get Married for Love

    Chapter 509. I, Nian Xi, Will Only Get Married for Love


    Nian Junting knitted his brows and frowned as well. He knew how much Nian Xi liked Ji Chuan better than anyone else did. So now, as Nian Xi suddenly became unwilling to get married, he understood that something must have happened. Ill ask Nian Xi about it, he said.


    She has to get married to Ji Chuan, unless he did something really wrong. This is marriage, not a game for children. How am I supposed to talk to the Feng family about this? Nian Qingyun added before ending the call.


    Nian Junting put down the phone, looked at Luosang seriously, and said, This afternoon, when you helped Nian Xi shop for her wedding dress, did you see anything wrong between her and Ji Chuan?


    As Nian Juntings question was about Nian Xi, Luosang was puzzled for a second and responded, even though she truly didnt want to talk to him, Not really. What happened to her?


    She said that she doesnt want to marry Ji Chuan anymore.


    Luosang was stunned. Everything was fine before they had arrived at the wedding dress store. However, she remembered that Nian Xi was mad at Ji Chuan after Leng Shuangwei showed up. Its not because of me, is it? she wondered.


    I believe that Nian Xi is a mature person. If she doesnt want to marry him anymore, she must have a reason for it. A whileter, Luosang said ndly, Perhaps she suddenly found that she and Ji Chuan arent a perfect match for each other. Thats possible. Although they got engaged a long time ago, Ji Chuan is always away from home. Maybe after spending some time together, she found that he just isnt the right fit.


    Anyhow, Ji Chuan is a good man, said Nian Junting. Last time, things got a little unhappy because of his transfer, but thats because he is eager to serve the country with all his heart. His concerns are reasonable.


    In terms of career, maybe he is good, but from a womans perspective, he might not be caring and considerate enough, said Luosang.


    What on earth are you talking about? Nian Junting stood up and said, Ill go ask Nian Xi and Ji Chuan. I maye homete tonight.


    Luosang stayed silent. He walked over, kissed her lips, then quickly left. Luosang touched her lips and paused for a short while without knowing what to do. After that, she went back upstairs and called Nian Xi. I hear a lot of noise. Where are you?


    Im at the police station, working, said Nian Xi.


    You still feel like working? Luosang sighed. Are you canceling the wedding?


    You got the message pretty fast. Nian Xiughed bitterly. Yes, that is right.


    Nian Xi, are you having a fight with Ji Chuan because of me? Dont act on impulse just because of a quarrel. You love him so much. Give him a chance to make it right


    Nian Xi interrupted her and said with a very bitter voice, Its not because of you. I just feel that he doesnt love me so much, or maybe he doesnt love me at all. For many things, he just wont put himself in my shoes and think of things from my perspective. Sangsang, I, Nian Xi, will only get married for love. I love him, and I demand that he love me enough, too. I am not willing to get married for other reasons. Marriage is about my whole life. Im afraid that I might regret it someday if I start this marriage just like this.


    You think Ji Chuan doesnt love you enough? Luosang was stunned.


    Im not sure. I found that I dont know him well anymore. Id rather get marriedter than marry the wrong person. Im not afraid of beingughed at. Itll be better than suffering pain in the wrong marriage, said Nian Xi.


    Luosang understood her. Instead of trying to make things work, marriage was about love. There should be no doubts in a marriage. Nian Xi had doubts, so she didnt want to marry Ji Chuan anymore. What about herself? She hadnt gotten married to Nian Junting, but they already lived together. Now, she had learned that he might be with her because of sex.

 Chapter 510. Young Master… Sangsang Moved Out

    Chapter 510. Young Master�� Sangsang Moved Out


    After thinking it through, Luosang called herself a taxi. Then, she packed her things and went downstairs with a suitcase. Sister Lan was in the kitchen, and Steward Wu was feeding Xiaosi in the backyard. Luosang hesitated briefly, then left with her suitcase. After getting into the car, she called Sister Lan.


    Sangsang, why are you calling me from upstairs? asked Sister Lan.


    Sister Lan, Im leaving. I moved out. Just wanted to let you know, she said.


    What? Moved out? Arent you upstairs?


    I want to have some quiet time alone. Sister Lan, thank you for taking care of me. Please tell Junting that I wont be here for New Years. Lusoang didnt say much else before ending the call.


    Back in the vi, Sister Lan freaked out. She hurriedly ran up to the bedroom, then found that Luosang was gone, along with many of her things. With no other choice, she called Nian Junting, but his phone was busy. She called again after about ten minutes, and this time, he answered the call.


    Sister Lan, whats this about? Nian Junting was trying to persuade Nian Xi not to cancel the wedding. He felt really annoyed, as he honestly didnt understand what women were thinking.


    Young young Master, um, Sangsang has moved out, Sister Lan stuttered.


    Today is not April Fools Day, and this is not funny, said Nian Junting seriously.


    Im not making a joke, said Sister Lan. I was washing the dishes, and she suddenly called me and thanked me for taking care of her. She said that she wont be here for the New Year. Also, she has taken many of her belongings with her.


    Shes on her period. Why is she still traveling? She moved out thest time she was on her period, too. These things happen every time when her periodes. I guess she really has a very bad endocrine imbnce, said Nian Junting anxiously. He hade out to solve other peoples problems, yet a trouble of his own urred.


    She really knows how to make things worse. She clearly understands that Nian Xi and Ji Chuan are having a fight, and that I already have enough to worry about. Now shes done this. Can people do whatever they want during their period? Nian Junting was angry.


    Hearing him yelling, Sister Lan even had an earache. She put the phone slightly away from her ear, then stuttered, Young Master, in fact, I lied to you. Sangsang isnt on her period. I found her in a bad mood this afternoon, and she wouldnt answer your calls I didnt want you to be mad and sad, so I lied


    So she doesnt have an endocrine imbnce at all? Nian Junting clenched his teeth. Why didnt you tell me that earlier?


    Im sorry, Im really sorry. I should have told you the truth. Sister Lan couldnt stop apologizing.


    Nian Junting ended the call with Sister Lan, then turned around, red at Nian Xi, and said, Youre like this, and so is she. What on earth has happened this afternoon? Are you hiding something from me?


    Nian Xi had also grasped some information from the conversation between her brother and Sister Lan. Sangsang left? She was shocked.


    Tell me, Nian Junting was running out of patience, Sister Lan said that she was in a bad mood this afternoon. She only went out with you.


    Nian Xis mouth quivered slightly. A short whileter, she said, When I was trying on wedding dresses, Ji Chuan brought Shuangwei there.


    Then?


    Then Ji Chuan asked Shuangwei to be the maid of honor. I was in the changing room. Shuangwei went to choose a gown. Im not sure what exactly happened, but when I came out, Sangsang told me that she wanted to leave, said Nian Xi, trembling. When you called to say that Sangsang wouldnt answer your call this afternoon, I thought she was mad at you.


    Why didnt you tell me this earlier? Nian Juntings eyes were grimly dark.


    You said that she was fine, so I didnt tell you. I didnt want this to affect the rtionship between you and Ji Chuan. Nian Xi shrugged.

 Chapter 511. f Im Unhappy, None of You Can Be Happy

    Chapter 511. f I''m Unhappy, None of You Can Be Happy


    What the hell is Feng Ji Chuan up to? Nian Juntings eyes popped in rage, as if he were going to fight someone. I forgive him forst night. But today, didnt he know that Luosang would go wedding dress shopping with you?


    Nian Xi pouted and said, He said He wants Shuangwei to be the maid of honor, so he brought her there to try on the maid of honors gown.


    Nian Junting immediately understood what had happened. So thats why youre fighting with him?


    Nian Xi stayed silent. In fact, she felt that Ji Chuan valued his friendship with Shuangwei more than he did his rtionship with her, and she wasnt happy about that.


    That was a thoughtless decision to make. If mom knew about this, shed feel like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. Youre not getting married to him. I wont allow it, Nian Junting said through clenched teeth.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. Earlier, she had said so many words to exin herself, but her brother still forbade her from canceling the wedding. And now, because Ji Chuan had made Shuangwei and Luosang see each other, her brother immediately forbade her from marrying Ji Chuan. Her brother was really bossy.


    Brother, isnt Ji Chuan like a brother to you? she asked.


    Would brothers bring trouble to each other like this? said Nian Junting in a deep voice. But, thats still not right. Luosang met with Shuangwei, but I dont think shed run away just because of that. Did anything else happen?


    I dont know, Nian Xi blinked. When I came out of the fitting room, Sangsang was standing there alone, and Shuangwei was in the fitting room.


    How long had you been in there?


    Um About ten minutes. The dress was veryplicated, so I spent quite a while putting it on, said Nian Xi.


    Nian Junting frowned. So maybe Shuangwei said something to her outside the fitting room.


    What could she possibly say? Nian Xi was puzzled. Shuangwei Shes not that kind of person who likes to sow discord among others, is she? Nian Xi didnt want to suspect Leng Shuangwei. After all, they had grown up together.


    What do you know? Love can turn people blind. For someone as excellent as your brother, many women will lose themselves to try to get me by fair means or foul. For example, Luosang had stic surgery for me. Do you know how painful stic surgery can be? Nian Junting dragged his cor agitatedly.


    The corners of Nian Xis mouth twitched slightly.


    If Im unhappy, none of you can be happy. Nian Junting turned to walk out. Near the door, he turned back and said, The wedding is canceled. If Ji Chuan makes you agree to marry again with some simple sweet words, Ill break your legs.


    Nian Xis legs shivered. Last time, you said that Im too old to be single


    Twenty-five years old isnt old at all. Are you kidding? Youre like a flower. Youre my, Nian Juntings, little sister. You can get married at 35, and that still wont be toote. After saying that, Nian Junting mmed the door and left.


    In the car, he called Luosang, but she wouldnt answer. He angrily threw his phone to the ground. After spending a moment being depressed, he drove to Luosangs apartment. Downstairs, he found that the lights in the apartment werent on. His heart sank. Hurriedly, he went up to knock on the door, but no one answered.


    With no other choice, he called Yan Su. Are you home? he asked.


    No. Im in another city, doing a music video. Yan Su didnt know why he had called. Mr. Nian, are you and Sangsang having a fight again?


    Again? Nian Junting was very displeased.


    She ran away from home. Did she talk to you?


    No, said Yan Su. Didnt she go back to the apartment?


    No.


    Then I guess she wants to get away from you for a while, Yan Su responded. If she went back to the apartment, youd be able to find her very quickly. Youre so clingy. Staying in the apartment is no different from staying in the vi to her.


    Clingy? Yan Su actually said that he was clingy. He ended the call without thinking.

 Chapter 512. Are You Psycho? We Have Broken Up

    Chapter 512. Are You Psycho? We Have Broken Up


    Nian Junting walked downstairs, looking at the shades of night. He was wracked with worry. The more he thought about what happened, the anger he was, so he quickly called Ji Chuan.


    What did you do to Luosang this afternoon? Shes missing now. Its alreadyte at night. If anything happens to her, will you take responsibility? Youre not a woman, so how can you be able to take responsibility for that? he said.


    What are you talking about? Feng Ji Chuan was confused by his yelling.


    Nian Xi said that you brought Shuangwei to the wedding dress store this afternoon and let her meet Luosang, Nian Junting said with anger. What on earth happened between the two of them? Luosang wasnt happy when she came back, and now she has left. I dont know where she went. Shes so pretty. There are always guys drooling over her. If she got robbed and raped on her way, Ill make you pay for the rest of your life.


    I dont know. I dont think anything happened, said Ji Chuan ndly. Maybe she was overthinking. Besides, you and Shuangwei were so close, how could you say that about her? She loves with you all her heart. Junting, ever since you broke up with her, she never had any other boyfriends. Also, she hates her mothers guts.


    Is she allowed to hurt Luosang because shes in love with me? asked Nian Junting.


    Why are you so sure that she has hurt Luosang? Can you prove it? Dont treat Shuangwei unjustly, said Ji Chuan. Luosang is an adult. Shell be fine. Maybe shes just venting her spleen at you. Those little girls are all like that. They always need people to say nice things to them.


    Enough. Luosang and I do fight a lot, but she is not an unreasonable person. The more Ji Chuan said, the angrier Nian Junting got. No wonder Nian Xi suddenly decided to cancel the wedding. Ji Chuan, your EQ is awfully low.


    Are you saying that Nian Xi doesnt want to marry me anymore? Ji Chuan was stunned.


    Yes. You should reflect upon your own situation. We are like brothers, and no brother would do what you did, said Nian Junting loudly. If you broke up with Nian Xi and had another fiance someday, I wouldnt always bring Nian Xi to see you and your fiancee. On the contrary, Id sincerely wish you happiness.


    Would you really wish me happiness, sincerely? Ji Chuan couldnt believe what he said.


    I would, as long as you were the one dumped by Nian Xi. If you abandoned her, Id make you pay, despite the fact that were as close as brothers, said Nian Junting. Now, I am telling you that your wedding with Nian Xi is temporarily canceled. He continued, Nian Xi is still young. I dont think she has to be in a rush to get married now.


    Junting, can you not act on impulse? Ji Chuan was getting mad as well.


    Give me Shuangweis phone number, said Nian Junting.


    You are not calm right now, so I wont give you her number. Ji Chuan ended the call.


    Nian Junting then asked Xiao Si for Leng Shuangweis phone number.


    Leng Shuangwei quickly answered the call with disbelief in her voice, Junting?


    Yeah, its me. Nian Junting came straight to the point. This afternoon, did you say anything to Luosang in the wedding dress store? Shes mad, and she has left.


    Come out and meet me, then Ill tell you, Leng Shuangweis tone was gentle and soft. I want to see you.


    Are you psycho? We have broken up. Nian Junting spoke the truth in a straightforward manner.


    We can still get back together. I never forgot about you. Leng Shuangweis voice was full of sadness. Junting, I still like you very much.


    I can do nothing about that. Nian Junting felt annoyed. Im not a charity. So many people fall in love with me at first sight. I cant possibly respond to them all. Just answer my question.

 Chapter 513. He Said That He Drove Miss Xu to the Airport

    Chapter 513. He Said That He Drove Miss Xu to the Airport


    Junting, it has been so many years, but youre still the same as before. Thats what I like about you. Leng Shuangwei missed the past. Her voice had never been so soft and gentle before. I met lots of men in the army, but none of them were like you. Youre more confident than all the others, and I know that you are really capable.


    Alright, Im not here to listen to yourpliments. No matter how you praise me, I wont change my mind. Nian Junting started to lose patience.


    I made you my boyfriend in the past. I can do it again, said Leng Shuangwei very confidently. Im back in Xia City now, so I can see you whenever I want to.


    As you said, that was in the past. Things are different now. What happened between your mother and my father is a gap between us, said Nian Junting.


    So our parents are the reason why you dont want to be with me. Lets put that aside. You were willing to marry to me back then, that means I did attract you, said Leng Shuangwei hurriedly. You said that you like strong and brave women in the army. I did all you said.


    Nian Junting took a long and deep breath, then said, Why cant my words make any sense to you? I am now asking you, what did you say to Luosang?


    As I said,e to see me, then Ill tell you. Lets meet at the yground of our old school


    Im done talking to you. Nian Junting was really angry. He had found Leng Shuangwei to be pretty thick back when she pursued him, and now she had be even more thick after tempering herself in the army.


    As he couldnt find Luosang, he had no choice but to drive back to Tianhu Vi. Once he came in, Sister Lan tremblingly lowered her head to look at the floor. Steward Wu walked over and said, Ive checked the surveince video from the camera at the gate. Miss Xu took a taxi to leave. Ive checked the te number with the taxipany and made contact with the driver. He said that he drove Miss Xu to the airport.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting felt like someone had just whipped his heart. Airport? Where did she go?


    I dont know.


    What about her mood? Nian asked Junting with a grim look, Was she in a bad mood? Does she want to kill herself?


    Why would she go to the airport if she wanted to kill herself? Steward Wu couldnt help but say in a low voice, The driver said that she was very quiet, and that she wasnt crying. Rx. Miss Xu has been through a lot. Shes stronger than most women. Shes probably going out to rx. Maybe shell be back in a while. Shes still studying in Ximei, so she wont leave forever.


    The New Year ising. Are you aware of that? Nian Junting said angrily, Shes always been alone during the New Year since her father went to prison. This year, she finally has me, but again shes running out to spend the New Year all alone, poor girl.


    Steward Wu was silent.


    Um I heard Sangsang say that shes starting a voice acting job right after the New Year, Sister Lan said abruptly in a weak voice.


    Why dont I know about that? Where is this job? Nian Junting immediately asked.


    She didnt tell me that.


    Nian Junting thought for a second, then hurriedly asked Xiao Si for Ji Nuanyis number and asked her about Luosangs voice acting job.


    Ive made an appointment with her. Shell be in Shanghai to do the voice acting. It starts on the third of next month. The job would start on the third of next month, so she needed to arrive in Shanghai by the second. There were still five days until the second. How was Nian Junting supposed to get through the next five days? Miss Ji, if Luo contacts you, please let me know, said Nian Junting.


    Sure. But you dont need to be too worried. Sangsang is a girl, but because of the work shes been doing, she has been traveling around the country since she was a little girl. Also, she has studied abroad alone. Shell be fine.

 Chapter 514. Sangsang Has Left Nian Junting. Just Go and Pursue Her!

    Chapter 514. Sangsang Has Left Nian Junting. Just Go and Pursue Her!


    Back upstairs, Nian Junting rummaged through the bedroom for Luosangs belongings. When she had lived there, he had bought her many things. She left those things behind, but took what she had brought there in the first ce. What did that mean? What on earth did Leng Shuangwei say to her?


    The next day, he went downstairs with a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes. Sister Lan was making breakfast. She also had dark circles under her eyes. When serving breakfast, she found Nian Junting sitting in a chair in a daze. His face was unshaven, and his hair was disheveled.


    Young Master, did you stay up all night? asked Sister Lan.


    Yeah. I thought about human traffickers, so I couldnt sleep, said a tired Nian Junting. When I was in the army, I once encountered some cross-border human traffickers. Is there a chance that Luosang might run into those people?


    Sister Lan took out her phone and said, Rx. Sangsang messaged me this morning. She asked me to tell you that shes on vacation. She wants to go out of the city, as she hasnt had any quiet time alone in a long while. Shelle backter to solve the problem of her rtionship with you.


    Nian Junting hurriedly took Sister Lans phone to read Luosangs messages. A whileter, he raised his head and asked, Solve the problem of her rtionship with me? What does that mean? Is she breaking up with me?


    Sister Lan didnt say anything. Could she say, I guess so? Would she be fired if she said that?


    Nian Junting asked another question, And, what did she mean by having some quiet time alone? Did I never give her quietness?


    When did you ever give anyone quietness? thought Sister Lan.


    As Nian Junting started typing on Sister Lans phone, Sister Lan hurriedly said to him, Sangsang has told me not to let you use my WeChat to message her.


    When did she say that? I didnt see it. Nian Junting scrolled the chat records.


    I deleted that message before showing you the record. I didnt want you to feel ashamed, said Sister Lan helplessly. I didnt know that you had really done that. Last time, when you messaged her with my Wechat ount, she knew all along.


    Nian Junting raised his head and asked, When did that happen? Why cant I remember any of it?


    No, it never happened, said Sister Lan.


    Nian Junting snorted, gave the phone back to Sister Lan, then stood up and left.


    When driving the off-road vehicle out of the vi, Nian Junting thought for a second, then turned around and headed to Feng Ges ce to ask about Luosangs whereabouts.


    When he arrived, Feng Ge was straightforward with him. I wouldnt tell you even if I knew. Luosang never visited me again after she left. You think I dont know that its because you wouldnt allow her toe here? You deserve this. Do you think that youre allowed to bully Sangsang because her father is in prison?


    I didnt bully her, and I didnt forbid her toe here. She doesnt want to visit you, Nian Junting argued.


    Forget it. Shengxu said that youre bossy, said Feng Ge.


    After making Nian Junting leave in anger, Feng Ge immediately informed her son about what had happened. Heres your chance. Sangsang has left Nian Junting. Just go and pursue her.


    Mom


    You think I have no idea that youre into her? said Feng Ge impatiently. You dont even know how to pursue a girl. Learn from Nian Junting. Hes shameless. Last time, Sangsang lived with us for so many days, but you never seized the opportunity.


    Mom, she doesnt feel that way about me. I was afraid that if I got too forward, she might not even want to be friends with me anymore, said Chi Shengxu helplessly.


    Youll never have her if you arent forward. You see, there is a problem between her and Nian Junting now. As her good friend, you should grasp this chance and be her new boyfriend, said Feng Ge.


    Mom, youre sly, said Chi Shengxu.


    You hold your happiness in your own hands,  Feng Ge replied. Anyway, I like Sangsang. When she lived with us, I found her so thoughtful. No other 23-year-old girls are as thoughtful as she is.

 Chapter 516. I Am a Lovelorn Man Now! Would You Like to Fight?

    Chapter 516. I Am a Lovelorn Man Now! Would You Like to Fight?


    Nian Junting quickly headed back home. Murong Chengs voice was heard once he drove into the backyard. Look at yourself in the mirror before judging anyone else, she said.


    Nian Qingyun responded in an angry tone, That was years ago. I know that I was wrong. Cant you just let it go? You think I dont know thatst month, you had dinner with a man at The Cup? You two looked quite close. Dont you forget that we havent divorced yet.


    Speaking of which, weve been separated for so many years. When will you sign that divorce agreement? Youd better sign it as quickly as possible, or dont me me for suing for divorce.


    Nian Junting walked in with big steps and said, Alright, dont fight here. Youre not young anymore. Arent you two ashamed?


    Do I want to fight her? said Nian Qingyun grumpily. I came here for Nian Xi. I asked you to talk to her, and what did you say to her? Why are you on her side now? Your uncle and aunt Feng called me. They were anxious. I asked Ji Chuan about it, and he said that there is a misunderstanding between him and Nian Xi.


    Murong Cheng looked at Nian Qingyun in confusion.


    Nian Junting made an easy guess. Nian Xi might not have told her parents all the details, as she was probably still trying to protect Ji Chuan. She didnt want Murong Cheng to have a bone to pick with him.


    Why rush? Plenty of guys want to marry your daughter, said Nian Junting ndly.


    That, I know. My daughter is surely an adorable girl. But, she has decided to cancel the wedding for no reason. How am I gonna exin that? The wedding is supposed to happen on the 8th of this month. We have booked the venue and ordered the wedding dress. Also, Ji Chuan is really a young and outstanding man. In the future, he will be in a higher position than I am


    For the venue and wedding dress, we can just consider the down payment wasted. If Nian Xi became unhappy after she married Ji Chuan, who would take responsibility for that? Nian Junting interrupted his father. Im not saying that Ji Chuan isnt good. They got engaged a long time ago, but after all, they never spent enough time together. Now, many problems have urred, so its reasonable for Nian Xi to reconsider.


    No couple is a perfect match. Every married couple needs to expend effort to make their marriage work. Nian Qingyun disagreed. We know Ji Chuan well


    I agree with Junting, Murong Cheng nodded. Why rush? To be honest, when he took the liberty to decide not toe back, I was already unhappy. I have only one precious little girl. She can do whatever she wants.


    You She has spent too much time with you. Thats why she has be like this. Nian Qignyun was so angry. What if shes still unmarried by the time shes 40?


    I dont care. Im rich enough to let her stay single and free her whole life, said Murong Cheng ndly. She then turned to Nian Junting and asked, Ah, what happened between you and Luosang? Lan said that you two had a fight.


    Im d to hear that. You should have broken up with her long ago, said Nian Qingyun.


    Whatever her father has done, hes a better man than you! Murong Cheng was enraged. I am telling you, Ive already epted that girl as my future daughter-inw.


    Did she enchant you? said Nian Qingyun.


    Shut up! Nian Junting suddenly kicked away the chair in front of him. You dont get to tell me who I want to marry. Im telling you that I am now a lovelorn man. Would you like to fight? Ive been angry for days and just dont know how to channel it. Also, Ill make the decision about Nian Xis wedding. After saying that, he rushed upstairs wrathfully and mmed the door thunderously.


    Im done talking to you. Im leaving. Murong Cheng picked up her bag and left.


    Nian Qingyun paused for a second, then hurriedly followed behind her, saying, Chengcheng, Im not young anymore. Why dont youe back? From now on, well live a peaceful life together. Ive only made that one mistake in my whole life. I promise that I wont do anything like that ever again.

 Chapter 517. You Left Without Saying Anything. Do You Know How Worried I Am?

    Chapter 517. You Left Without Saying Anything. Do You Know How Worried I Am?


    Come back? Murong Cheng said with a sneer, Every time I see you, I think of how I caught you and Jiang Qifei dating at midnight. Was your world suffering such ack of women that you had to hook up with Jiang Qifei? Nian Qingyun, I will never forgive you. After saying that, she stalked out in high heels.


    Looking at her back, Nian Qingyun regretted his mistake.


    Harbin.


    It waspletely dark when Luosang came out of the Ice and Snow World. There were fewer and fewer people on the street, and most of the people had gone home for New Years. Luosang stood there for a while, then headed toward a supermarket. She took a stroll in the supermarket, bought some food, and then went back to the hotel apartment. She made three dishes and a soup for herself in the provided kitchen, then started eating while watching the New Years G on TV.


    At 20 past eight, Chi Shengxu sent her a messageHappy New Year, Ill be on TV in ten minutes.


    Luosang smiled. As she prepared to reply to the message, she got a call from Yan Su. Happy New Years Eve. Where are you? Its no fun being alone at New Years. If I didnt have to sing two songs at the Xia City TV station for New Years, Id have gone to you and celebrated New Years with you.


    I didnt tell you where I am because I dont want you to tell Nian Junting about it. Luosangughed. Youre doing amazing. Youve started giving performances.


    Yeah, Im getting closer and closer to him, said Yan Su in a low voice. Enough about me. Lets talk about you. You didnt have to go so far just to avoid Mr. Nian, did you? Arent you lonely?


    Im used to this. Luosang let out a breath and said, If I stayed home for New Years, Id certainly be with the Nian Family during New Years Eve. His father doesnt like me, so itd be awkward for me to be there. I feel free now.


    Thats true.


    They chatted for about 40 minutes. After that, Luosang hesitated briefly, then checked blocked calls. She found 180 calls from Nian Junting. She gasped in shock.


    At half-past eleven, she put on a thick, cotton-padded jacket and prepared to go out. She had bought a ticket for the premiere of a film that would be released at midnight. As she walked to the door, her phone rang. She took out her phone and saw Sister Lans name on the screen. She hesitated for a long time but answered before her phone stopped ringing.


    Sister Lan Happy New Years Eve.


    After a second of silence, Nian Juntings loud voice was suddenly heard. Xu Luosang, you blocked my number! I am telling you, Im not happy! Not happy at all! Not Happy!


    Luosang hurriedly held the phone away from her ear, as she felt that her head was going to explode from Nian Juntings yelling. As he finished, Luosang asked in a hard voice, Why do you have Sister Lans phone? Is she with the Nian Family with you for New Years?


    I took her phone. Nian Junting was so excited. That was the first time he had heard her voice since she had left. It was like a patient who had been suffering a heart attack finally taking some medicine.


    Xu Luosang, you wouldnt answer my call, but you answered Sister Lans. Why? Am I not as important to you in your heart? You left without saying anything, but do you know how worried I am? Its so dangerous out there. I havent slept in days.


    Luosang immediately got choked up, and her eyes turned red. Had he been worrying about her because if anything happened to her, no one would be able to satisfy his sexual needs? She believed that he was really worried about her from the bottom of his heart.


    Im fine. Didnt I ask Sister Lan to tell you that Id be back to solve the problem between us? she said.


    The only problem to solve between us is that you need toe back right now. Ill buy you the ticket, and Ill pick you up at the airport. said Nian Junting anxiously, Its nothing but a few words that Leng Shuangwei said. What did she say? Tell me if anything is bothering you.

 Chapter 518. If You Are Healed, Will I Still Be the Only One in Your Heart?

    Chapter 518. If You Are Healed, Will I Still Be the Only One in Your Heart?


    Luosang was surprised. She hadnt expected him to figure out so soon that Leng Shuangwei had talked to her. She was nning to go back to Xia City and solve this problem after New Years, but since he had asked, she decided to tell him now. Do you really want me to say it out loud? Dont me me if you feel awkward about what Im going to say, she said.


    I am a decent man. What is there to be awkward about? Nian Junting said. He thought for a second and realized that as a man, there was only one thing that he never wanted to mention. However, that secret was well kept, so Leng Shuangwei couldnt possibly have found out about it.


    You had been having sexual dysfunction before you met me, right? Luosang asked in a gentle voice. When you were in the army, that part of your body was injured during a mission.


    Nian Junting was stunned. At this very moment, he felt exactly the same as when the doctor had told him that that part of his body had a problem after he had been sent to the hospital for a checkup after his injury. He was overwhelmed with aplicated feeling that included embarrassment and helplessness. He took a long while to calm himself down, then started feeling upset. Is that why you left me? You dislike and despise me for that reason?


    Luosang gave a bitter smile. How could she possibly dislike him for that? Even if he was really ill, she wouldnt care. What she cared about was if he truly loved her or not.


    As she stayed silent, Nian Junting panicked. He denied it automatically. Dont listen to Leng Shuangwei. I broke up with her seven or eight years ago, so how could she possibly know all that? Shes trying to tear us apart.


    Luosang was disappointed. Youre still ill, she continued.


    Nonsense. You know how good I am. Its you who said that my one time is as good as the others seven times. And you said that I always make you tired, Nian Junting refuted loudly, as if he were trying to persuade both her and himself.


    Thats because your body only responds to me. Luosangughed bitterly. You have a psychological problem.


    Ha, thats even more ridiculous. How can I have such a weird illness? Nian Junting forced himself tough.


    I found all the relevant medical records in storage. Thetest test was done before we went to Australia. You still had doubts about your condition then, and the test results from the hospital said that you havent healed. However, you can do it with me. Nian Junting, how long were you gonna keep this secret from me?


    Nian Junting felt as if he had been stripped naked and seen through. Even being physically stripped would be less embarrassing, at least for a man. As a proud man, he saw his illness as a w in his life. He hid those records in the deepest corner, yet she still found them. How had Leng Shuangwei known about all this? Only his parents, Xiao Si, and Doctor Han knew about his illness. Even Nian Xi and Steward Wu didnt know. His parents couldnt possibly have told Leng Shuangwei about it, and Doctor Han didnt even know Leng Shuangwei. So Xiao Si


    Junting, I think you should think about this carefully. Are you really in love with me? Or are you with me because your body responds only to me. Luosang stood in the snowfield. Snowkes fell on her face and made her heart feel cold.


    Am I such a shallow person? Nian Junting once again refuted loudly, Dont you see how I have been treating you?


    I admit that youre nice to me, but is it based on our love or sexual partnership? Ever since we had our first time, Ive been having a strong feeling that you are paying very great attention to sex. You even only care about your own feelings. You never consider my feelings. Seriously, you are a person with such strong needs. If you werent ill, would you have been single over the past seven years? If you were healthy, would I ever have had a chance to be with you? The more Luosang said, the more she wanted to cry. I just offered you a chance, yet you refused to admit it. Are you feeling guilty?


    Nian Junting didnt know how to exin. He didnt admit it because he was too ashamed to. He thought that she didnt have any proof, so if he denied it, his body reacting to her was the best proof to prove that he was healthy. He didnt know that she had secretly found out about everything.


    Alright, I admit it. What Leng Shuangwei said is true. Ive done many tests, and Im still ill. At first, the doctor said that I might have a psychological shadow, as I was single for so long because of the treatment, and that I was just unconfident. When you gave me a sponge bath and identally


    Nian Junting tried very hard to organize hisnguage. The secret had been uncovered so suddenly, that he even stuttered a little. If that was the reason why I started a rtionship with you, I would have asked you to stay back when you were taking care of me, instead of waiting until we met each other again


    Luosang interrupted him, When we met again, you thought I was pursuing you and ying hard-to-get. When I was taking care of you, you didnt get the time to do an overall checkup, did you? Because your spine was injured. At that time, you didnt know that your body only reacted to me. You thought you had recovered, didnt you?


    Nian Junting opened his mouth wide. He didnt know what to say, as he had thought that way back then.


    His silence made Luosangs heart sink. Junting, did you propose to me because your body only responds to me? Or was that the main reason? If you are healed someday, will I still be the only one in your heart?


    Nian Xi wanted to be the only one in Ji Chuans heart and to marry him for love. Luosang wanted the same thing. No matter how rich and capable and handsome Nian Junting was, she wouldnt want to be with him unless he loved her with all his heart. The more she loved him, the more she cared about whether he loved her back.


    Luosang, am I such an irresponsible man in your eyes? Nian Junting said through clenched teeth.


    I know that you are a very responsible man. You proposed to me, and you spent so much money on a ring. I made yourpany lose a giant sum of money, yet you didnt even frown over it. No one ever treated me as well as you did. But, Im afraid. Im afraid that one day, another woman will show up to heal your illness, and then I will no longer be the only person in your love life. Luosang closed her eyes to erase that sobbing tone from her voice, then continued, Maybe even you dont know how you really feel.


    Nian Junting hurriedly said, Yes, I know. I can tell the difference.


    Then let me ask you a question. If your body didnt respond to me but did to another woman, would you still marry me? asked Luosang.


    Nian Junting was puzzled for a second, then said, That question isnt logical.


    Lusoang gripped her phone and said, Answer my question.


    Nian Junting didnt know how to answer, maybe because he had never thought about it. He had lots of thoughts in his head now.

 Chapter 519. Ill Be Waiting for Your Answer, and I Believe That You Wont Lie to Me

    Chapter 519. I''ll Be Waiting for Your Answer, and I Believe That You Won''t Lie to Me


    See, you cant answer my question right away, said Luosang gloomily. So I wanted to leave, to let both of us calm down for a while. If I stay in my apartment in Xia City, youll move there, and youll make peace between us. Junting, we both need to think about our rtionship.


    Calm down? Will we break up? Nian Junting asked fearfully.


    Ill be waiting for your answer, and I believe that you wont lie to me, said Luosang in a gentle voice. Goodbye.


    Goodbye.


    At New Years Eve, they even forgot to say Happy New Year to each other.


    Luosang walked on the street with a heavy heart. Hearing the New Years countdown from someones TV, Luosang walked into the movie theater. Her phone rang again, and this time, it was Chi Shengxu.


    Sangsang, where are you? I just flew to Harbin. I think we can hang out together, said Chi Shengxu.


    Luosang paused for a while in surprise, then said, Why are you suddenly here? Werent you in Beijing just now?


    Yeah, I dont want to be alone at New Years Eve, but the day after tomorrow, I need to be in the Northeast for work. Have you forgotten about that? Flying back to Xia City will take too long, so I came to see you. What a coincidence, youre in the Northeast, too. Chi Shengxuughed. Are you going for a premiere at midnight? Lots of great films will be released on New Years Day. I want to watch one, too. Buy me a ticket. Ill be there soon.


    Luosang remembered that earlier this year, Chi Shengxu had asked her to bring him a pair of Uggs. She worried that Chi Shengxu was here specially for her, because if he was, she wouldnt know what to do.


    Alright, be quick then. But I wont wait for you. Im going in now, as the movie is starting, she said.


    Alright, Ill be there in half an hour.


    Also, cover your face, dont let people recognize you, Luosang reminded him. I dont want to be in photographs as your rumored girlfriend.


    Haha, I dont have the guts to be your rumored boyfriend.


    At half-past midnight, Chi Shengxu arrived at the theater. Luosang went to the entrance to pick him up and saw a man wearing a gauze mask, wool hat, down coat, and scarf. He had truly covered his entire body, only leaving his eyes exposed. He was holding a stuffed penguin, which looked charmingly naive. Luosang didnt recognize him until he waved at her.


    Here, your New Years gift. As Luosang came closer, Chi Shengxu threw the stuffed penguin to her and said, Some fans gave me a pile of stuffed toys on the ne. I picked a cute one.


    Hearing that, Luosang sighed with relief. She didnt want him to give her a stuffed toy specially as a gift. She believed him, because a star could indeed receive too many gifts.


    Youre giving your present to me. If your fans knew about this, their hearts would break.


    I have so many stuffed toys. Itd be a waste to throw them away. Chi Shengxu put his hands in his pockets and said, Lets go and watch the movie. Its so chilly out here.


    Luosang nodded, then walked into the theater with him.


    In Xia City, in the middle of the night, after watching the beautiful fireworks, Nian Xi walked out of her room with a teacup to get herself some water. When passing by the first floor, she gave a start when she saw Nian Junting sitting on a hassock on the balcony.


    Brother, its two oclock in the morning. Why arent you sleeping? Why are you sitting here? Tomorrow morning, well have to leave early for ancestor worship, said Nian Xi impatiently.


    Im thinking. Nian Junting nced at her, exhauted.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said, About what? Tell me.


    About my rtionship. As someone in a failed rtionship, are you able to give me answers? Nian Junting doubted it.

 Chapter 520. Tell Sangsang that You Love Her

    Chapter 520. Tell Sangsang that You Love Her


    Nian Xi wanted to vomit blood. She was having insomnia because of what had happened between her and Ji Chuan, and her brother mentioned it with no mercy. Lets talk about it. Maybe we can find an answer, she said.


    Yeah, Nian Junting turned to look outside the window and said, Im thinking about sexual rtions.


    Nian Xi blushed instantly. Im sorry, I dont know much about that. However, I heard from some people that most men put sex first, but women are different. Women put love first.


    Yeah? Nian Junting frowned.


    Yeah. Nian Xi stayed silent for a second, then continued, Think about our parents. They used to love each other, didnt they? Why do you think dad cheated on mom with aunty Jiang? Isnt it because he was with one woman for too long, so he got tired of her and lost the feeling of freshness? In fact, what a woman really cares about is if her man truly loves her or not. Women can be swayed by the considerations of gain and loss, andck of a sense of security. I guess men dont think so much.


    Nian Junting was stunned. So, what Luosang cared about was if he loved her or not?


    Why did you suddenly mention that? Youve recovered, havent you? said Nian Xi.


    Nian Junting felt embarrassed.


    Youre not ill again, are you? Nian Xi asked in surprise.


    No, I dont know why, but my body only responds to Sangsang. My body is healthy, but I failed the test. Nian Junting coughed slightly without continuing.


    Nian Xi opened her mouth wide in shock. Can that really happen?


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say.


    So, is that why Sangsang left? Nian Xi soon figured it out. Does she think that youre with her for sex?


    Nian Junting still didnt respond.


    Are you? Nian Xi asked.


    Why do you women always ask questions like that? said Nian Junting grumpily.


    Why wouldnt we? Id have the same concern if I were her, said Nian Xi.


    Nian Junting sighed. Sangsang said that I might not even know how I really feel. Im confused, indeed.


    Nian Xi thought for a moment and asked, Why are you with Sangsang? Dont tell me that she pursued you, or that shes pretty. If you told Sangsang that, shed be so pissed off.


    Nian Junting responded, Im not really sure. I just I felt happy when we were together. I think that shes nice, and that our kids will be outstanding


    Nian Xi finally understood why Sangsang had left.


    Brother, if you love someone, youll miss her when shes not with you. Your heart will ache when you are having a fight with her and when you watch her suffer. Youll want to give her all the best of the world. Nian Xi sighed. All in all, if you love her, shell constantly affect your feelings, and shell be the source of your happiness.


    Nian Junting blinked, nodded, and said, Thats how I feel. She left, and I feel like she has taken my heart away.


    Nian Xi looked at her brother and suddenly felt jealous of Luosang. If only Ji Chuan cared about her as much as her brother cared about Luosang. Tell Sangsang that you love her. Tell her that even when your illness is gone, youll still love her, and that youll never betray her, not with your heart, nor your body. I think she wille back to you, and I believe that that is also the answer shes been waiting for. Nian Xi patted her brother on the shoulder.


    Nian Junting shivered, feeling enlightened. Will Sangsang despise me if I cant heal myself? Nian Junting gave a bitter smile.


    Nian Xi now understood why her brother never wanted to do blind dates or start a rtionship with any girl in the past few years. It was all because of his sexual dysfunction. That was also the reason why his family never put pressure on him. For men, such things could really hurt their pride.

 Chapter 521. She Turned Around and Found the Tall and Sturdy Nian Junting Standing at the Door

    Chapter 521. She Turned Around and Found the Tall and Sturdy Nian Junting Standing at the Door


    I dont think so. If the person I love loves me as deeply, and his body only responds to me but to no other woman, Id be very happy. Nian Xiughed.


    Yeah? Nian Junting thought for a moment, then abruptly stood up.


    Nian Xi raised her head and asked, What are you doing?


    Ive gotten the answer. Im going to sleep now. Nian Junting smiled. Sangsang is having these thoughts because she loves me so much that shescking a sense of security. After saying that, he walked upstairs with confident strides.


    Looking at her brother, who had started to get arrogant again, Nian Xi really regrettedforting him and enlightening him. That idiot, who knew nothing about love, deserved to be puzzled. Now she was the one who was puzzled. Why wasnt Ji Chuan glum about the possibility of losing her?


    At seven in the morning, Nian Junting got up and drove straight to Xiao Sis ce. Mrs. Xiao opened the door for him. After that, he went directly upstairs and threw back Xiao Sis quilt.


    What? Xiao Si was still sleepy. What time is it? You came so early to wish me a happy New Year. I know you want me to be touched, but its too early. I havent even woken up yet.


    Nian Junting sneered, dragged him up from the bed, and said, Wish you a happy New Year? In your dreams. Let me ask you something. Did you tell Leng Shuangwei about my illness?


    Xiao Si rubbed his eyes and responded, I didnt.


    Except for you guys, who else know about it? Youre my closest friend, so you know about my illness better than anyone. Even Nian Xi didnt know what had happened to me after my physical injury was healed. But now, Leng Shuangwei knows. Except for you, I cant think of anyone who might have told her about it. Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and said, Or, did you tell Ji Chuan?


    I really didnt. Xiao Si raised three fingers to signal he was swearing it was the truth. Were brothers. Dont I know what privacy means? I didnt tell Ji Chuan, either. I know that hes close with Shuangwei. Im not an idiot.


    Who told her then? Nian Junting asked in a deep voice.


    Not me. After saying that, Xiao Si suddenly recalled that day when he had gotten really drunk. Instantly, he turned less confident. I didnt say anything that day when Shuangwei drove me home after I got drunk with the Feng family did I?


    Nian Junting recalled that as well and got extremely angry. Cant you control yourself when youre drunk? There are some things that you cannot tell just anybody.


    I was too drunk that day. I was nearly unconscious. Xiao Sis scalp grew numb under Nian Juntings gaze. Shuangwei really shouldnt have told Sangsang about that. How could she? Shes ruining your happiness, isnt she?


    You finally get it. I was supposed to have a girlfriend to warm my bed this New Years, but you ruined it. Nian Junting clenched his teeth. After New Years, youll be responsible for the case in the Northwest, and you wont be allowed toe back.


    No. Xiao Si shivered and said, That ce is all desert with only a few roads. Itll require two months to develop that area. Its so cold now, my handsome face will be destroyed by the gale over there. I dont have a girlfriend yet. Ah, my mom says that shell arrange blind dates for me during the New Year. I want a girlfriend.


    Go to the Northwest and find a girlfriend. Ill send lots of roujiamos[1] to you. By then, in the frenzied desert, you two will enjoy roujiamo together. How happy will that be? Nian Juntingughed coldly, then turned and stalked out.


    Xiao Si lowered his head to look at himself and shuddered, as he was only wearing a pair of shorts. Leng Shuangwei had put him in such a miserable ce. He swore that he would stay as far away from that woman as possible.


    In Harbin, at eleven oclock in the morning, Luosang woke up, checked her Weibo[2] on her phone, and was stunned. A picture titled, Chi Shengxu and his mysterious girlfriend went to a movie at midnight was on top of the hot search list. In the picture, both she and Chi Shengxu were wrapped in clothes. Honestly, she could barely recognize herself. But still, it got her a little worried, so she hurriedly knocked on Chi Shengxus door and said, You and I are on hot search. Check it and do something.


    Chi Shengxu rubbed his eyes and said, Dont worry, my manager called me this morning. I told her to release a Weibo post to rify that the person in the picture wasnt me. We even had our faces covered, so who could possibly recognize us?


    Great then, Luosang sighed in relief.


    What? Are you afraid that Nian Junting might misunderstand this? said Chi Shengxu jokingly.


    Luosang smiled awkwardly and said, We already have enough to argue about. I dont want new problems to crop up unexpectedly.


    Youre right. We had nned to go to Central Avenue together this afternoon, but since some reporters already have their eyes on me, wed better cancel that n, said Chi Shengxu with faint helplessness in his eyes. Lets just stay here in this apartment.


    Im thinking the same thing. I have to fly to Shanghai tomorrow morning for my voice acting job, said Luosang, feeling guilty.


    Ive heard about that. Ji Nuanyi wants you to be her exclusive voice actor. Some directors I know want to work with you as well. This time, Yi Jingxi is not going to stop you. Chi Shengxu was happy for her. I hope that well have a chance to work together.


    We will. Luosang was cheered up talking about voice acting.


    At night, Nian Junting went to Shanghai by air. Ji Nuanyi had told him where Lusoang would be staying. He had been down for days, but knowing that he would see Luosang tomorrow, he was now thrilled. He nned to tell her clearly that he loved her, and that he would only sleep with her, not any another woman.


    On the quiet ne, a conversation between two young girls was overheard. I heard that Chi Shengxu has a girlfriend. Yesterday, they went to a New Years premiere together. Nian Juntings attention was instantly attracted when he heard Chi Shengxus name.


    Thats fake news. Chi Shengxus studio has rified it, said another girl. Chi Shengxu was in Beijing for the New Years Gst night. How could he suddenly go to Harbin for New Years Eve?


    Harbin Nian Junting remembered that he had sent someone to the airport to check, and ording to them, Luosang had taken a ne to Harbin. He hurriedly switched on his phone and searched for the news about Chi Shengxu. There was a picture in which a man and a woman were walking out of a cinema with their whole bodies wrapped in clothes. Even their faces were covered.


    That wasnt Luosang. That was definitely not Luosang. How could Luosang ever dress so unattractively? There must be a mistake. Besides, Chi Shengxu had denied it.


    The day after New Years day, at eleven in the morning, Luosang arrived in Shanghai and took a taxi to the hotel. When checking in, the front desk manager checked her ID card, then gave her a weird nce.


    Luosang didnt think too much about it before she went upstairs and opened the door. She first saw a mans suit on the floor hanger by the door and a pair of mens shoes on the ground. There was water on the floor and the sounds of a hair driering from the bathroom.


    She nced at her room card to confirm the room number. That was her room, but why was a man already here? With discontent, she turned and prepared to leave, but suddenly, a familiar, deep voice stopped her. Dont go.


    She paused, turned around, and saw the tall and sturdy Nian Junting standing at the door. He was wearing a pair of trousers with his upper body bare, and his hair was still damp.

 Chapter 522. Xu Luosang, Youre Impressive

    Chapter 522. Xu Luosang, You''re Impressive


    You Why are you here? Luosang paused in shock for quite a while. It had only been a few days, but she somehow felt that he looked a little haggard.


    Nian Junting stayed silent, eyes fixed on the penguin doll that was on top of her suitcase. He quickly took out his phone, searched the entertainment news about Chi Shengxu that he had readst night, and thenpared the penguin doll in the photo with the one on Luosangs suitcase. The woman in the photo was holding the same doll. So, the ugly woman in the photo was really Luosang. What Chi Shengxu had told the public was a lie.


    Why dont you answer my question? Luosang felt ufortable under his gaze.


    What can I possibly say? Xu Luosang, youre impressive. Nian Junting raised his phone and pointed at the picture on it, saying, This is you, isnt it? Look, the same doll. I flew here on New Years Day to exin to you, yet you gave me such a great gift. You didnt spend New Years Eve with me but with another man. You even went to a premiere together. What am I to you?


    Luosang was just worrying that this might happen. She thought that her short meeting with Chi Shengxu was already in the past. She had wanted to throw the penguin doll away, but it was so cute, she couldnt bear doing it


    I was traveling to Harbin, and he happened to be there shooting a film. He went there after he finished his part in the New Years G in Beijing, so we got together. I went to the film premiere first, and he got there afterward. We are simply friends. Nothing inappropriate ever happened between us, she said.


    Yeah, what a coincidence. China is huge, and you could have traveled to many ces. Yet, you went to Harbin. I think you went there because you knew that he was there, Nian Junting said through clenched teeth. I called you and asked you where you were, and you refused to tell me. But when he asked you the same question, you told him right away. You always treat him so special.


    I didnt tell you where I was because youre my boyfriend. I wanted both of us to have some time alone to calm down. Hes my friend. Its different Luosang felt so tired. It wasnt the first time that they fought because of Chi Shengxu.


    But of course, she understood why Nian Junting had misunderstood and gotten angry. However, Chi Shengxu hadnte there to just to see her. Besides, she was Feng Ges goddaughter, and Chi Shengxu had helped her. They couldnt stop being friends, could they? Neither of them had done anything immoral, after all.


    Its different, indeed. You refused to spend New Years with me but spent your time with another man. He gave you a doll, and you brought it back to Shanghai from the Northeast. How much do you like his gift? The more he said, the more sullen he looked. Abruptly, he grabbed the doll, violently tore it apart, and threw it to the ground.


    You told me that you want to think carefully about our rtionship, and that youre afraid youre not the only one in my heart. Those are all lies. You want to two-time me! You know that I have this illness, so youre looking for a backup. Nian Juntings voice was as cold as ice. Xu Luosang, I bore with you and Chi Shengxu over and over again. But, dont think that youre my only choice.


    Luosang gazed at the broken doll on the floor. He was really crazy. And, he even said that she wanted to two-time him. He actually thought of her this way. She wasnt his only choice? Who else did he want? Did he say that because Leng Shuangwei was back? He loved Leng Shuangwei so much, that he wouldnt have broken up with her if Murong Cheng hadnt threatened to kill herself.


    He surely wont have that much patience with me, Luosang thought.


    Yeah, of course Im not your only choice. Youre so perfect, and so many women want you. Luosang sneered, her hands shaking. She tried to so hard to stop herself from crying, but was still afraid that she might burst into tears.

 Chapter 523. Did She Just Break Up with Nian Junting

    Chapter 523. Did She Just Break Up with Nian Junting


    Im d you know. Nian Junting looked down at her, his chest heaving because of anger. This time, I will not concede to you like I used to. If you never see or talk to him again, I may forgive you.


    He is my friend. Luosang raised her head and responded in a trembling voice, I cant do that.


    He is a friend that you spent New Years Eve with. Am I not even as good as your friend? You have already pushed me to my limit. Luosangs attitude drove Nian Junting so mad that he almost lost his mind. He couldnt help but yell, Im offering you onest chance to make a choice. Never talk to him again, or break up with me.


    Luosang trembled. She had thought about a lot these past few days, including breaking up. However, she hadnt dared to think too deeply about breaking up. Now, hearing him saying those words, she felt that her heart was suddenly icy cold. She had given him herself, yet he mentioned breaking up so easily.


    He never trusted her.


    As she stayed silent, Nian Junting grabbed her arm and shook it angrily. Give me an answer!


    I cant do what you ask said Luosang in a sad voice.


    You didnt hesitate. Nian Juntings eyes dimmed. Anger surged in his chest and even threatened to burn him up. He let go of her and said through clenched teeth, This time, I will notpromise. My tolerance of you is limited. After saying that, he turned, put on his shoes, picked up his shirt, and stormed out of the room.


    Luosang felt so tired, she didnt follow him. She stayed in a daze for a while, then slowly walked into the room. Seeing his clothes on the bed, she was stunned. The winter in Shanghai was so cold, but he ran out in only a shirt.


    She hurriedly picked up his clothes and went out to chase him. In the lobby, she saw him preparing to get into a taxi.


    Nian Junting she called his name.


    Nian Junting paused, quickly turning around. Watching her run up to him and gasp for air, he raised his chin slightly and said, What? Do you regret it? Have you realized that you were wrong? Are you sure that you wont see or talk to him again?


    Luosang took a deep breath, then handed him the clothes and said in a hollow voice, Im just bringing you your clothes.


    Taking the clothes, Nian Junting burst out inughter with the fire of anger burning in his eyes. Xu Luosang, do you think that I have to be with you? Youre wrong. Plenty of women like me. I can rece you any time I want to. Finished talking, he got into the taxi and mmed the door.


    The taxi drove away as Luosang stood by the entrance of the hotel like a statue. Had she and Nian Junting broken up just like that? She could scarcely believe it. They hadnt broken up because of his sexual dysfunction but because of Chi Shengxu.


    She had given him her entire self, yet he said something like that to her. Rece her any time he wanted? Was that because he didnt love her enough? He wasnt with her because of love, but because his body only responded to her. Was that why he had broken up with her so easily?


    She froze in the strong, cold wind. Only when the hotel staff by the entrance reminded her how cold it was outside did she stiffly go upstairs back to her room. The things which Nian Junting had used were scattered all over the room. His scent was everywhere.


    Luosang sat on the bed with her arms around her knees. She felt exhausted and awfully bitter. Once, she thought that she was the happiest woman in the world. Once, she thought that her homeless days had ended, as she had finally found a harbor. Once, she thought that she possessed Nian Juntings exclusive love, but now, she wasnt sure anymore.

 Chapter 524. I Havent Found Any Female Star Whos as Good Looking as Luosang

    Chapter 524. I Haven''t Found Any Female Star Who''s as Good Looking as Luosang


    She slowly buried her face between her knees, feeling like she was covered in wounds. However, no matter how much pain she was suffering, she still had to work. She needed to make money to study and to continue her life.


    During the next two weeks, Luosang spent every day in the recording studio. Sometimes, she didnt get back to the hotel until after midnight. The TV series had 50 episodes. Luosang stayed upte every night and finished the voice acting in only 15 days before flying back to Xia City for the opening ceremony of the new school term. She hadnt even rested one day the whole time.


    Xia City, Shengting.


    The start of the new year should have been bursting with happiness, but in thispany, the atmosphere was rather grim. Ever since Nian Junting started working, all the employees were forced to work overtime every single day. So now, the entirepany knew that their boss had broken up with his girlfriend.


    They wanted to ask vice CEO Xiao tofort their boss and try to cheer him up, but the vice CEO had been sent to the snowy Northwest to suffer the chilly gale after New Years. Thinking about him, those employees felt lucky.


    Outside the CEOs office, Lu Kang carefully knocked on the door, then said, Mr. Nian, Miss Xu finished her work in Shanghai and hase back.


    Ive broken up with her. Why are you still mentioning her? Nian Junting was looking at the stock tables. He red at Lu Kang when he mentioned Miss Xu.


    Lu Kang immediately fell into silence. However, Nian Junting got even more unhappy. Even though weve broken up, I can still care a little about my ex-girlfriend. Tell me how miserable she is now and how sorrowful her life is without me.


    For a while, Lu Kang couldnt think of a word to say. He coughed slightly, then responded, Her life is a little miserable, indeed. During the past two weeks, Miss Xu almost never left the recording studio. She only slept about five hours per day.


    Nian Junting crossed his arms and stayed silent.


    Lu Kang hurriedly added, Im sure that she worked hard to ease the pain of breaking up with you.


    She deserves it. She left me at home and spent New Years with another guy. What I cant stand more is that between Chi Shengxu and me, she actually chose him. Which part of that kid is better than me? Hes still a boy. Nian Junting stood up and sneered. I was too generous to her. This time, I broke up with her seriously.


    Lu Kang quickly nodded.


    This time, I need to let her know how popr I am. I must give her some sense of crisis. Nian Junting continued, Go and pick the prettiest female employees in ourpany. Ill choose one from them to pretend to be my girlfriend to make Luosang jealous.


    Lu Kang was speechless. Who had just said that he had broken up with his girlfriend seriously?


    Why are you still standing here? Arent you gonna do what I just said? Nian Junting gave him a threatening nce.


    An hourter, Lu Kang stood in the hall with thepanys ten prettiest female employees. Nian Junting nced at them and then furrowed his eyebrows as he frowned. Atst, he said to Lu Kang angrily, I want to find a girl to make Luosang jealous. Why arent any of them prettier than she is? They are all so ugly.


    The ten female employees wanted to vomit blood. Had Mr. Nian even thought about their feelings?


    Lu Kang wanted to cry. He couldnt understand why his boss thought the ten female employees werent pretty. He said, Mr. Nian, here are the top ten beautiful girls in ourpany. If youre not satisfied with them, Ill have no choice but to make an appointment with a female star.


    Nian Junting snorted. Are those female stars prettier than Luosang? To be honest, I havent found any female star whos as good looking as Luosang yet.


    Lu Kang honestly didnt know what to say. Mr. Nian, I dont know where to find your girl. Should I drag an angel down from heaven for you?


    Nian Junting stared at him. After a while, hepromised. Forget it. Just pick one of these girls. Tell her to cooperate with me.

 Chapter 525. Mr. Nian Only Said That Because He Was Angry. Dont You Know About His Awful Temper?

    Chapter 525. Mr. Nian Only Said That Because He Was Angry. Don''t You Know About His Awful Temper?


    Alright.


    Atst, Lu Kang picked a female staff member named Qiao Xue. The reason he picked her was because she was an honest girl.


    At school, Luosang was at her first ss after winter vacation. She was falling asleep, as she had been so tired recently and never got a good nights sleep. Atst, she couldnt keep her eyes open, so she decided to rest her head on the desk and take a tiny nap. As a result, she was awakened by Yan Su when the ss was over.


    Its a quarter past 12, yet youre still sleeping. Yan Si stood by her desk, holding some books.


    Im so tired. Luosang shivered, then stood up and said, I slept for such a long while?


    Yeah. You have no ss this afternoon, so you can finally stay in the apartment and rest. Look at you, you have such a huge pair of dark circles under your eyes. I wouldnt like the way you look now if I were your boyfriend. Yan Su sighed.


    Hearing the word boyfriend, Luosang felt as if her heart were aching. She would never forget the past winter vacation. It was like being on a roller coaster. At first, she couldnt be happier, and then, she fell from the top and was covered in bruises.


    Lets go and have some mtang[1]. I havent had mtang from the ce near our school in a long time. Ive missed it so much. While speaking, Yan Su picked up Luosangs bag.


    They walked to the mtang restaurant they frequented. The owner greeted them. I havent seen you girls in so long.


    Yeah. Luosang smiled. Ever since she started dating Nian Junting, she rarely went there because he would never eat in a ce like that. The ce probably hadnt even achieved a B grade from the health department. Most of the time, Lusoang would let Nian Junting choose the ces to eat.


    She thought carefully, then realized that she and Nian Junting ate at home for most of their dates. They rarely went out shopping, eating, or even for movies. She felt that they had started living together like a married couple not long after they built a rtionship.


    Suddenly, she felt more and more upset. With all those bad feelings, she asked the chef to make her food super hot.


    Did you really break up with Nian Junting? Yan Su asked with concern.


    He broke up with me. He said that he can rece me any time he wants. Luosang sneered. I gave him my first time, but he actually said that he can rece me. Im so angry! Su, dont ever have sex with any man before you marry him. He wont cherish you.


    Mr. Nian only said that because he was angry. Dont you know about his awful temper? Yan Suforted her. All couples are like this. People say all kinds of hurtful words when theyre fighting.


    No. Maybe, he just doesnt love me enough. Luosang shook her head. There are some things that you dont know yet. His ex-girlfriend is back, and I Maybe Im only a tool to fulfill his sexual needs, she thought.


    The more she thought about that, the sadder she became. She picked up a piece of ham with her chopsticks, dipped it into the spicy sauce, then put into her mouth. The spicy taste almost made her cry.


    Dont say that, said Yan Su. In fact, I think you did wrong, too. You see, my boyfriend and I cant see each other during the New Year. So every New Years, I always cared a lot about who he was with. I wondered if he was with a boy or a girl. If it was a girl, Id be so unhappy that Id even cry. Id be jealous. For other times, I can understand, but for New Years and Valentines Day, I always have strange thoughts. We all want to spend those special days with the people whom we love most.


    Luosang frowned. But Chi Shengxu and I are just good friends. If he wants something else from me, things could have happened when I lived at his ce. Why would he wait until now?


    Try to think it from another angle. If Mr. Nian spent New Years Eve with a good female friend of his, would you be very mad? Yan Su raised her brows and asked, Also, what if he kept a present from that female friend?


    Luosang paused briefly, then fell into silence.


    [1] Mtang (simplified Chinese:; pinyin:mltng) is amon type of Chinese street food.

 Chapter 526. Miss Xu, Long Time No See

    Chapter 526. Miss Xu, Long Time No See


    You see, anyone would feel ufortable about it. Mr. Nian is just easier to make jealous, said Yan Su.


    Luosang responded while poking the ham on her te with her fork, But, its really a coincidence. I didnt mean to spend New Years with Chi Shengxu at first. He was there shooting a movie, and I was there traveling. He said that he was alone. Also, hes my godmothers son. I cant stop being friends with him. Thats impossible. He helped me at the most critical moment of my life. I cant just forget about that. Not to mention the fact that the cause of Nian Juntings illness wasnt clear yet.


    Youre right though Yan Su nodded. She didnt know how to solve the problem, either.


    At that moment, a girl who sat near them eximed in a low voice, Wow, hes so handsome!


    Luosang didnt even bother to raise her head. Only after she saw Yan Sus eyes pop in shock did she turn to the door to see who was there. That man was none other than Nian Junting, whom she hadnt seen in half a month. He was wearing a long gray coat. His hair was short and neatly cut, and his face looked chiseled. A petite girl was following behind him, wearing a pink coat. She had a small and delicate face, and she looked gentle and warm. Nian Juntings hand was on her shoulder. They looked pretty close.


    That scene somehow hammered Luosangs heart violently, and even made her feel like she was suffocating. Where was that woman from? She wasnt even Leng Shuangwei.


    Calm down. Under the table, Yan Su gave Luosang a heavy kick, saying in a low voice, Hes clearly trying to make you jealous. When did you ever see Mr. Niane to this kind of restaurant?


    Luosang paused for a second. Yan Su was right. Nian Junting wouldnt even step into a restaurant with a hygiene grade of B, not to mention this kind of C-grade mtang ce. But perhaps that woman wants toe here, Luosang thought. He wouldnte to this kind of ce with her, but that didnt mean that he wouldnt do it for another woman. She turned her eyes away and lowered her head to drink her milk tea.


    Nian Junting nced around the ce and frowned slightly. When he finally spotted Luosang and Yan Su, he brought over the woman next to him and greeted Luosang, Miss Xu, long time no see.


    Luosang suddenly spit the milk tea onto Nian Juntings coat. Nian Junting was frozen. Im sorry, Mr. Nian. Luosang was so shocked when he called her Miss Xu, that she even spit out the milk tea in her mouth. Realizing what just happened, she hurriedly apologized.


    Nian Juntings veins throbbed in his temples. What had she just called him? Mr. Nian? Was she distancing herself from him so quickly? You spit all over me. Arent you gonna wipe me clean? He pointed at his own chest.


    Luosang pressed her pretty lips together, then pulled out a few tissues, put them into the hands of the woman by Nian Juntings side, and said, I dont dare to touch your boyfriends chest. You should wipe him.


    Qiao Xues hands trembled. How dare she wipe Mr. Nians chest? She might need to give up on her hands if she really did it.


    Im d that youre aware of this. I almost forgot to introduce her to you. She is my new girlfriend, Nian Junting said through clenched teeth, then turned to Qiao Xue and continued, This is my ex-girlfriend.


    Luosang sneered in her head. She knew that he was probably pretending, but she was still very unhappy. She wanted so badly to pour her mtang on his face.


    Yan Su coughed, then joined the conversation. Mr. Nian, I didnt know that youde to eat in this kind of ce.


    Nian Junting stayed silent and only turned to Qiao Xue. Thetter stuttered nervously, I-I want to eat, so, so we came here


    Nian Junting frowned again. This female employee wasnt good at pretending at all. Sit down. Nian Junting wiped a chair with tissues, then pressed Qiao Xue onto it.

 Chapter 528. Junting, How Are You Feeling

    Chapter 528. Junting, How Are You Feeling


    You only ate so little today? Is the food not good? The restaurant owner nced at her te. She habitually asked for her customersments.


    Luosang wanted to answer the question, but before she did, Nian Junting spoke. Thisdy said that your food is not clean. She said that you never wash vegetables, your ham is made from dead pigs, and your chopsticks are recycled. She also said that your food can make people infertile.


    Luosang was thoroughly speechless. Who on earth mentioned infertility? Youre such a shameless person! she thought. She immediately caught the restaurant owners angry gaze.


    Oi, youngdy, how could you tell my customers all these lies? My food is perfectly clean. Youe here often. I was even going to offer you a discount. Youre not wee here anymore. Dont let me see you again, said the restaurant owner angrily.


    Luosang hurriedly exined, You misunderstood. I was talking irresponsibly just now


    How could you talk like that? Just pay the bill and get out. The restaurant owner directly expelled her. Twenty-eight yuan in total.


    Nian Junting was shocked. I didnt know food could be so cheap!


    Luosang didnt want to say another word to him. She quickly took out her money, paid the bill, then dragged Yan Su out of the restaurant. Her appetite today hadnt been good to begin with. After she saw and talked to Nian Junting, it got even worse. Now, she only wanted to go back to her apartment.


    Less than three minutes after she left the mtang ce, a Benz quickly caught up with her and Yan Su. The car window opened. Nian Junting talked to Luosang from the front seat, Miss Xu, what a coincidence, we ran into each other again.


    Luosang and Yan Su were both rather speechless. The drivers seat was on the left side, and they were walking on the right side of the road, so in order to talk to Luosang more conveniently, Nian Junting let Qiao Xue drive the car. What an idiot.


    Luosang stopped walking and gritted her teeth. What do you want now? Arent you gonna finish your mtang?


    Nope. My girlfriend said that she wants to go for a drive. Nian Junting put one hand on the car window. His ck eyes glowed brightly.


    Luosang turned to him and said, Nian Junting, you broke up with me, and now you made this girl pretend to be your girlfriend. Is this fun?


    Nian Junting snorted. You really know how to tter yourself. Do I need to do this to make you jealous?


    Luosang sneered, abruptly walked to the window, and put her lips near his ear. Sensing the familiar but long-lost aroma of hers, Nian Junting was dazed for a second. He nearly lost control of himself and tried to drag her into his arms and kiss her wildly. But in the next moment, he heard Luosang say in a very low voice that could only be heard by the two of them, Youre sick. Can your body react to anyone else but me?


    Nian Juntings handsome face reddened slightly, and then he felt humiliated and angry. He responded through clenched teeth, I have fully recovered.


    Luosang spent a few seconds gazing straight at him, then sneered again. Congrattions. I hope your lovests a hundred years and that you have babies soon. I was only a tool to fulfill your sexual needs, anyway. After saying that, she turned and left.


    Xu Luosang, stop! Nian Junting opened the door to chase her, but suddenly, the car moved. He had one foot out of the car and the other one inside. As a result, he was dragged on the ground for a few seconds, then bumped against the car door and flew backward.


    Ah! Yan Su burst out screaming.


    Luosang, who was only a few steps away, turned back to find Nian Junting lying face-up on the roadside, his hands covering his right leg. Blood could be seen on his forehead. She was freaked out. She hurriedly ran over to help him up, asking, Junting, how are you feeling


    I think my ankle is sprained. Nian Junting gasped quickly in pain. He wanted to tear Qiao Xue into pieces now, but seeing the worried look on Luosangs face, he was suddenly less angry.

 Chapter 529. Mr. Nian Founded a Chain Noodle Restaurant for You

    Chapter 529. Mr. Nian Founded a Chain Noodle Restaurant for You


    Luosang hurriedly rolled up the leg of his trousers. Seeing therge wound on his leg, she gasped in shock.


    The off-road vehicle stopped moving. The pale-faced Qiao Xue got out, saying, Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry! Mr. Nian, I thought you were going to chase Miss Xu, so I started the car. You told me to drive the car and follow her closely.


    Nian Junting really wanted to kill her. He didnt understand why Lu Kang had picked such a silly woman to pretend to be his girlfriend. If you drove faster, Id be under the wheels and dead, he yelled. After yelling, he found that his leg hurt even worse, so he hurriedly grabbed Luosangs arm.


    Luosang used to work as a caregiver, so she quickly checked his legs, then found that he might have a sprain. Yan Su nced at the people who had started gathering around them to see what was happening and said, Lets just get him to the hospital.


    Yeah. Luosang nodded, then hurriedly helped him into the car with Yan Su. There was no time for her to think about anything else. This time, no one dared to let Qiao Xue drive. Yan Su didnt know how to drive, so Luosang had to drive the car.


    On their way to the hospital, Qiao Xue couldnt stop apologizing.


    Nian Junting was lying in the back seat, moaning. Luosang, it hurts Luosang, it hurts Luosang


    Luosang was already anxious. Hearing his repeatedints, she felt annoyed, so she said, I cant help you with the pain. Im not a doctor. Well get to the hospital soon. Just stop talking. While speaking, she automatically drove faster.


    Nian Junting pressed his pale lips together.


    At the hospital, the doctors and nurses put Nian Junting on a stretcher. He hurriedly held Luosangs hands and said, Dont go. If Im disabled, I wont be able to run to see you anymore.


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched, yet she also had this sad feeling when she heard what he said. Rx. I think maybe you only broke a bone. Just let the doctor dress your wound first.


    You cant go. Nian Junting refused to let her go.


    Luosang was about to nod, but suddenly, she saw Qiao Xue, who was standing beside her. So, she couldnt help but say, Mr. Nian, Im your ex-girlfriend. Your girlfriend is right here.


    Once she said that, the doctors and nurses looked at her with weird expressions. So, she was his ex-girlfriend.


    She almost killed me just now. From now on, shes my ex-girlfriend, said Nian Junting ndly.


    Luosang was speechless. Had she just be his ex-ex-girlfriend?


    I dont care which one of you is his girlfriend, but someone should cover his medical expenses, said one of the nurses. Meanwhile, Nian Junting was quickly wheeled into a treatment room.


    Luosang paced outside the treatment room. She had touched his ankle just now and felt that he had a sprain, but she wasnt sure, as she wasnt a doctor, after all. Maybe he had worse injuries, and those would require detailed exams to diagnose.


    A whileter, she turned her eyes to Qiao Xue. Qiao Xu hurriedly stood up and stuttered, Miss Xu, I am already fired.


    Fired?


    Yeah, I work in Mr. Nianspany. Im just here to pretend to be Mr. Nians girlfriend, said Qiao Xue weakly. Dont tell him I said that, or Ill really lose my job.


    Luosang had guessed that long ago, but now she felt different hearing her say that out loud. She couldnt tell if she was more happy or more sad.


    In fact, all the female staff members in ourpany are very jealous of you, said Qiao Xue. Everyone knows that Mr. Nian founded a chain noodle restaurant for you.


    Noodle restaurant? Yan Su was confused.


    Yeah, you dont know that?

 Chapter 530. Luo, Ting, Both Your Names Are In It

    Chapter 530. Luo, Ting, Both Your Names Are In It


    Qiao Xue said, When you and Mr. Nian first started dating, he asked Mr. Lu to create a business n for a worldwide chain noodle restaurant, because your favorite food is beef noodles. He wants the restaurant to exist in every corner of the world, and he wants the whole world to know about your love story.


    Whoa, thats so romantic! Yan Su was even stunned. But I dont think beef noodles are your favorite food. She then asked, Are they?


    Luosang didnt understand why Nian Junting so firmly believed that her favorite food was beef noodles, either. However, she was honestly surprised to find out about the noodle restaurant and the fact that Nian Junting had started nning it when they first started dating.


    What did that restaurant mean? It was a symbol of their love. It meant that he had loved her since the beginning. He wasnt with her because his body only responded to her. If that was the case, he would have no reason to found a chain noodle restaurant.


    She remembered that their first date happened in a beef noodle restaurant. He had probably brought her there because he thought she liked beef noodles, not because he didnt know what romance meant. Luosang suddenly suffered a sharp heartache. She remembered that night he had brought her a bowl of beef noodles, but she had thrown it to the floor. He was so upset, but he stayed silent without losing his temper.


    You should have seen them, the Luo Ting Noodle Restaurants. Four out of five of them have already opened in Xia City, said Qiao Xue.


    Luosang paused in surprise. Is one of them near our school?


    Yeah, yeah. Yan Su nodded. Its well decorated. I think it opened just recently. Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant, that is the name. Luo, Ting, both your names are in it. Its so sweet. Sangsang, Mr. Nian is so nice to you, yet you fought with him and doubted whether he loves you or not. Eh, even I want to criticize you. If this is not love, what is?


    I didnt know about the restaurant at all. Luosang shook her head confusedly. She had passed by that restaurant many times, but why hadnt she ever wondered if it was built for her? If she had known, she wouldnt have questioned her rtionship with Nian Junting.


    Ever since they started having sex, he never stopped asking for more and even neglected her feelings. That was why she had started to believe Leng Shuangwei.


    I think he wanted to surprise you. Qiao Xue begged, Miss Xu, please get back together with Mr. Nian. Its about all Shengting employees lifetime happiness and wellbeing.


    Luosang looked at her, confused.


    Qiao Xue continued pitifully, Before the New Year, Mr. Nian was going to double all our bonuses at the awards party because he was no longer single, and that made him so happy. The entirepany was thrilled when we heard that news. But in the end, you had a fight with him, and our extra bonus money was gone. It was like falling from clouds. It was really awful. Mr. Nian said that was exactly how he felt, so he wanted all of us to feel it, too.


    Luosang burst out inughter. That really sounded like something he would do. It was awful.


    Thank you, Qiao Xue. Luosang was seriously grateful. If you hadnt told me about all this, I might never have known the truth.


    Its okay. Please put some good words in for me. Dont let Mr. Nian fire me. Qiao Xue gave a bitter smile.


    Alright. Luosang nodded.


    Soon after, Nian Junting was wheeled out. Heid on the bed on his stomach. Half of his trouser leg was cut off, and his leg was wrapped in bandages. His shirt had been taken off as well, and there was arge amount of thick gauze on his back.


    His back Luosang bit her lip.

 Chapter 531. Leaving Her Turned Out to Be So Painful

    Chapter 531. Leaving Her Turned Out to Be So Painful


    She only noticed the wounds on his leg, but didnt think that his back was injured as well.


    Sangsang, it really hurts so much. Nian Junting raised his pale face weakly from the hospital bed.


    In fact, those injuries were nothing to someone like him who used to serve in the special forces. However, he just wanted to pretend to suffer when he saw the sorrowful look on Luosangs face. He had never pretended to be suffering great pain before, so he only came up with the words, it hurts, even though he had been trying to think of more. He had no relevant experience. However, it worked pretty well. Every time he said, It hurts, Luosang felt her heart twitch in pain.


    The wounds will scab up and heal gradually. The doctor couldnt help but roll his eyes at the man on the bed. He was tall and strong, but why was he so afraid of the pain? The wound on his back didnt need any bandage, yet he had asked for one and was willing to pay extra money for the bandage.


    Whos the patients family member? Go and pay the medical fees. He doesnt need to stay in the hospital, but he does need to have an intravenous drip for a week to diminish the inmmation.


    Nian Junting hurriedly pointed at Luosang and said, Her, shes my family.


    Lousing nodded and said, Ill pay and get the medicine.


    Come back quickly. It hurts so, so much. Nian Juntings dark eyes were filled with a pitiful look.


    Okay, Ill be back in a minute. Luosang ran toward the payment office.


    Yan Su was speechless. Mr. Nian was obviously pretending, but Luosang was too worried about him to tell.


    Why are you still looking at me? The irrelevant people should disappear now. The look in Nian Juntings eyes changed suddenly. He nced at the people around him with icy cold eyes, saying, Youre not my family.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say. She believed that she understood Luosangs feelings now. Sometimes, she wanted to beat Nian Junting up. Yan Su grabbed Qiao Xue and said, Mr. Nian, were leaving, then.


    Luosang made the payment, then picked up the medicine, sent it to the registry of the infusion room, and then came back to the ward. Many people were there for infusion treatments. Nian Juntings ward had three beds in it. He quietlyid on the bed in the middle with a kid on his left and an elderly man on his right. Five or six family members of the other two patients were crowding the ward as well.


    Luosang forced her way in. She worried that he might catch a cold, so she hurriedly spread the quilt out and gently put it on him.


    Nian Junting turned back to look at her and said with a frown, Luo, youre back. I thought you had left.


    Luosang wanted tough, but she was also very distressed by Nian Juntings situation. I was paying for the medicine, as I said. Wheres Su and the others?


    They left. I only want you here with me. Nian Junting looked at her quietly. His lips were pale, and that made him look like a pitiful little animal.


    Luosangs heart was awfully softened, but still, she teased, Wheres your ex-girlfriend? Dont you want her to be with you? Im your ex-ex-girlfriend now. Dont mix it up.


    Nian Junting blinked. He could not tell her that he had hired that woman to pretend to be his girlfriend, because doing that would make him lose face. A short whileter, he said, I dont want her. I want you.


    Luosang sat on the edge of the hospital bed and lowered her head to gaze at Nian Junting. Didnt you say that youve recovered already, and that you can rece me anytime you want to?


    Nian Juntings face grew increasingly stiff. He really wanted to go back in a time machine and strangle himself before he had said those words. During the past two weeks, every day seemed like a year to him. He actually counted the days and hoped that her new semester could begin sooner, so she woulde back from Shanghai. He waited day after day, and finally, she was back.


    It was the very first time he had waited for someone in that way. Leaving her had turned out to be so painful. He wanted to see her every moment.

 Chapter 532. Luo, I Love You

    Chapter 532. Luo, I Love You


    He never had the same feeling when he was with Leng Shuangwei. He wouldnt feel so terrible, as if his entire body had been bitten by ants, if they couldnt see each other for as long as half a month. Perhaps this was the love that Nian Xi talked about. He was in love with Xu Luosang, even deeper than he thought.


    Luo, I He opened his mouth with some difficulty. However, before he could finish his speech, Luosang suddenly bent over and put her lips against his. He froze, as if someone had just poked his acupoints. Shock was apparent in his eyes. In a moment, those eyes of his glowed brightly. His heart had never beat so fast. He gazed into herrge eyes, feeling that a strong force from her eyes was even going to suck him in.


    Nian Junting, listen to me. About what happened during New Years, I was wrong. I shouldnt have seen Chi Shengxu. But Ive always seen him as purely a friend. What Leng Shuangwei said to me about you made me worry. I was afraid that you didnt love me. I love you. The more I love you, the more I want from you, and the more Im afraid of losing you. Because I love you, I cant allow any impurities between us.


    Luosang gently covered Nian Juntings mouth with her fingers, then continued slowly and softly, I want to ask you one question. Do you love me? Not because of sex, nor because you think that I pursued you first.


    Nian Juntings eyes instantly widened. His body started shivering because he was so excited. Luosang just said that she loved him. It was the first time she had said so. He was wild with joy now. So this was what true love tasted like. It was even more impressive and beautiful than the moment their bodies had merged into one.


    At this time, he suddenly felt that Chi Chengxu and the past New Years Eve meant nothing at all.


    He pulled her hand away from his mouth, then nodded eagerly and said, Luo, I wanted to tell you that I love you when I was in Shanghai. You asked me a question at New Years Eve. I can tell you that if my body didnt react to you, I wouldnt be with you, because I dont want you to feel shame about your sex life because Im not healthy. I wouldnt be with any other woman either, because I only want to be with you.


    Luosang nodded and blinked her misty eyes. That was what she had wanted to hear the whole time. If they hadnt fought in Shanghai, and if that misunderstanding hadnt happened, they would have gotten back together long ago.


    I never wanted to rece you. I would rece myself before I reced you. The more he talked, the more excited he got. Atst, he turned over and pulled Luosang straight into his arms.


    Junting Luosang gazed at him.


    Luo, I love you, Nian Junting repeated with a deep and dry voice, then he raised his head and gave her a deep kiss. He pressed his lips so heavily against hers. He felt as if he hadnt kissed those lips in a century, and they were as sweet and soft as always. When he couldnt help but attempt to invade her mouth, a series of coughs was suddenly heard.


    A woman coughed loudly and reminded them awkwardly, Young people, will you mind your behavior? Youre not the only two people in this ward. There are old people and children here.


    Luosang paused for a second, then hurriedly pushed Nian Junting away. Her face blushed scarlet. She had lost herself in that kiss and even forgot about the fact that they were in a ward, surrounded by quite a few people.


    Nian Junting refused to let her go. They only had a shallow kiss. He was unhappy about being interrupted, so he red at the woman and said, All children mature at young ages nowadays. Whats the big deal? Besides, people kiss all the time on TV. Havent your kids seen people kissing yet?

 Chapter 533. Thats Over-Exaggerated. How Painful Can the Skin Puncture Possibly Be?

    Chapter 533. That''s Over-Exaggerated. How Painful Can the Skin Puncture Possibly Be?


    Oi, young man, how can you talk like that? The woman was angry. TV series are different. That was acting, but you were doing a live show. That was an offense against decency.


    Nian Junting stared at that women even more coldly. How dare she say that what they did was an offense against decency? They loved each other with true hearts. He believed that their love could even bepared with what the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd had[1].


    He also believed that nowadays, the rtionships many people had served purposes, but theirs was pure and clean. Madam, dont make it sound like youve never kissed someone. If thats true, where did your kide from? he argued unabashedly.


    The people in the ward burst out inughter. The womans face blushed scarlet. Her kid asked in a low voice, Mom, where dide I from? Did Ie out after you and daddy kissed each other?


    The people in the wardughed even more loudly. The woman wished there was a hole for her to crawl into. These young people are so extremely shameless, she thought.


    Alright, stop. Luosang felt awkward as well. She nced at Nian Junting and said, Just lie down. Isnt your back injured? Doesnt it hurt for you toy like that?


    No. Nian Junting shook his head. This slight pain is like tickle for me.


    Luosang was puzzled. Then why did you yell about the pain earlier?


    I was pretending, he said.


    And youre shameless enough to tell me, thought Luosang. You made it look real, and I was so worried about you that I almost cried.


    Make way, its time for the infusion treatment, a nurse said as she came in with a cart. Are you Nian Junting?


    Yes. Luosang nced at the IV fluids. There were four bottles in total, and two of them wererge. The treatment mightst until eleven or twelve oclock.


    Sit up a little bit. Luosang helped Nian Junting up and put a pillow behind his waist. His back was injured, after all, so she was very careful.


    Nian Junting reached out a hand, noticing a card hanging in front of the nurses chest that said, internship. The nurse started to put the needle into his skin. He didnt know how the nurse did it, but once the needle sank into his skin, he gasped in pain, Ou-ou-ouch He had honestly never seen such a poorly skilled nurse. The painsted for a long time, as if someone were cutting him with a knife.


    Thats over-exaggerated. How painful can the skin puncture possibly be? Luosang rolled her eyes.


    Nian Juntings face turned ghastly pale. He did not know how to exin.


    After the nurse left, the elderly patient said to him, That nurse is really unskilled. When she ced the needle in me the first time, I even cried over the pain. After that, I didnt dare let her ce my needle again.


    Luosang nodded and turned to Nian Junting. Its understandable for old people to be afraid of the pain, but you were a special forces soldier. That slight pain must be like an ant bite for you.


    Nian Junting couldnt think of a word to say. She really hadnt left him room to respond.


    Do you want me to get you some mtang? Luosang continued jokingly.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting felt utterly ufortable. Dont. I was there because of you, he said.


    Yeah? I dont believe you. Luosang raised her eyebrows and said, Ive tried to invite you to have mtang before, but you refused me every time, not to mention wiping my chair. You also put your arm around her. How did it feel to put your arm around some other girls shoulders? Was it good? Were you happy when she was feeding you?


    A faint redness emerged in Nian Juntings pale cheeks, as he felt quite awkward. I was just trying to make you angry, he exined.


    And I could tell at first sight. Luosang couldnt help but smile.


    [1] The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd is a Chinese folk tale. The general tale is about a love story between Zhin (; the weaver girl, symbolizing Vega) and Ning (; the cowherd, symbolizing Altair). Their love was not allowed, thus they were banished to opposite sides of the Silver River (symbolizing the Milky Way). Once a year, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, a flock of magpies would form a bridge to reunite the lovers for one day. There are many variations of the story. The earliest known reference to this famous myth dates back to over 2,600 years ago, which was told in a poem from the ssic of Poetry.

 Chapter 534. Ive Been Breaking Rules for You Since the Very Beginning

    Chapter 534. I''ve Been Breaking Rules for You Since the Very Beginning


    Thats what I want. Nian Junting nodded. If I made it look too real, you might think of me as a half-hearted man. If you got really jealous and left me, what would I do? I wanted you to discover that I was pretending at first sight, but at the same time, I wanted your heart to ache a little when you saw me with another woman.


    Luosang couldnt think of a word to say for a long while. He had low EQ, but he was evil. Alright, Ill get you some food. I cant get you any delicate cuisines from fancy restaurants, if thats what you want. Ill just go out and see what I can find nearby. Luosang sighed.


    Will I be poisoned? Nian Junting frowned. I dont think the foods that you can find around here are clean.


    Why are you making it soplicated? Luosang felt speechless. Dont the other patients eat those foods? None of them are poisoned. Speaking of which, you were a special forces soldier, after all. Were you allowed to be so picky during field training? Were you able to bring a Michelin starred chef when you were on missions?


    I was different before. I ate anything back then. Nian Junting suddenly knitted his brows, his eyes showing disgust. He frowned and said, I became like this because this thing happened. For the rest of my life, Ill feel sick anytime I recall it. It happened not long after I graduated from the US and came back. It was summer, Xiao Si and I and some other people went out for an investigation. We ordered a few dishes in a restaurant. I was starving, so I first started eating the cold dish in the sauce. When one of my friends reached his chopsticks toward that dish, he saw the food was covered in tiny maggots


    Picturing that scene, Luosang suddenly wanted to throw up, too.


    So you ate a lot of maggots? she asked.


    Nian Junting closed his eyes. A deeply pained look shed across his face as he responded, I was starving, so I didnt look at it carefully. Afterward, I took the dish and looked closely, then found so many tiny maggots in it. I guess every piece of vegetable in that bowl had over ten maggots on it. For a very long while after that, I didnt dare to eat away from home. Sometimes, I had to do that for social engagements, but I never ate anything from a restaurant that was graded lower than A.


    Luosang now understood why he was always so strict about food safety. Indeed, the food served in many restaurants wasnt clean. However, she doubted that any other person had eaten a mouthful of maggots like he had.


    Since that thing happened, I never eat in a restaurant graded lower than A. Last year, I broke my rule because I wanted to have beef noodles with you. Nian Junting nced at Luosang with an aggrieved look and continued, My stomach ached after I had those beef noodles.


    Really? Luosang replied, I ate in that ce over ten times when I was a caregiver. My stomach never ached.


    I didnt lie, Nian Junting said. His stomach ached the second day after he had the beef noodles, and both Steward Wu and Doctor Han confirmed that it was because he had the stomach flu. But still, he firmly believed that it was because of the beef noodles.


    You see, Ive been breaking my rules and sacrificing for you since the very beginning, he continued, looking Luosang in the eyes. Those eyes of his seemed to be askingarent you touched?


    Alright, I know it now. Ill certainly find a maggot-free restaurant for you near the hospital, Luosang joked. When the look on Nian Juntings face turned sullen again, she left whileughing.


    She worried that Nian Junting might need her help to use the bathroom, so she quickly returned with two bowls ofnzhou stretched noodles.


    Beef noodles again. Nian Junting nced at the noodles.


    No,mb noodles, Luosang replied.


    Nian Junting didnt say anything. My woman is so into all kinds of noodles, he thought.

 Chapter 535. Miss Xu, Did You Two… Make Up?

    Chapter 535. Miss Xu, Did You Two�� Make Up?


    I dont really feel like eating noodles, but Ill eat if you feed me. The word proud was almost written all over Nian Juntings face.


    Luosang blushed. People are watching us. Your hands arent injured, she said in a low voice.


    But theres a needle in my hand. Its inconvenient for me to feed myself. Besides, theyve seen us kissing. Why should they care about you feeding me? said Nian Junting carelessly.


    Luosang had no choice but sit at his bedside and feed him. She hadnt had much mtang earlier. After spending a while feeding him and watching him eat, she felt hungry, too, so she started eating while feeding him.


    It tastes even better after you added the seasoning, Nian Junting said when he finished a bowl of noodles.


    Luosang was puzzled. I didnt add any seasoning.


    You did. You added your saliva. Nian Junting gave her a meaningful nce.


    Luosangs face burned a little. Theres another bowl of noodles. Do you want me to spit in it?


    I dont mind. I have tasted your saliva, anyway. As long as you dont disgust yourself Nian Junting chuckled.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She had to admit that she was really disgusted by what she had said just now.


    At that moment, Lu Kang walked into the ward. Mr. Nian, I finally found you. I headed here right after I heard from Qiao Xue that you had a car ident. Seeing the noodles, his face paled. Oh my, Mr. Nian, youre injured. How can you eat unhealthy food like noodles? You need better food. Also, what is this ce? Its full of people. Ill move you into the VIP ward right now.


    Never mind. Im just here for a drip. I dont need to stay here, so theres no need for me to be in the VIP ward, said Nian Junting ndly. And whats wrong with noodles? Northern people all love noodles, and my woman likes noodles the most. Shes so pretty.


    Luosang felt a little awkward, maybe because he hadntplimented her in such a straightforward manner in quite a long time.


    Miss Xu did you two make up? Lu Kangs eyes glowed.


    It seemed that Qiao Xue had done well. She had sessfully helped Mr. Nian win back Miss Xus heart by hurting himself.


    Luosang smiled.


    Lu Kang sighed with relief. He even felt as if the sun had finallye out after half a month of rain.


    Its wonderful, so Qiao Xue he said.


    Do not mention that women to me. Hearing Qiao Xues name, Nian Junting instantly got angry. Lu Kang, why on earth did you pick her? And how has the HR department been hiring? Shes not only terrible at pretending, but she also nearly killed me.


    Lu Kang silently cursed Qiao Xue a hundred times. Mr. Nian, he said, I chose her because shes honest and simple-minded. She doesnt have all those unnecessary thoughts.


    Nian Junting knitted his brows into a frown. When he fell from the car, the pain wasnt the worst thing. What really bothered him was how humiliating it was.


    Besides Your ultimate purpose was to make up with Miss Xu Lu Kang continued in a weak voice.


    Are you saying that I should thank her? Nian Junting sneered.


    Alright. To be honest, if it wasnt for her, I would not have learned the truth and resolved the misunderstanding so soon, said Luosang in a soft voice. She told me that you founded a noodle restaurant for me. Thats how I know that you love me.


    She told you that? Nian Junting couldnt be more upset. I was going to give you a surprise. This is not what I wanted.


    You want me to be touched, dont you? I am touched, said Luosang. From this day on, beef noodles are my favorite food. Wherever I go, Ill see Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant and be reminded of our love. Junting, I want to thank you for doing all this for me, so dont me Qiao Xue. On the contrary, I want to thank her. If she hadnt caused your injury, we might eventually have left each other because of the deepening misunderstanding. I couldnt help but run back to you when I saw you get injured. I learned about what youve done for me, and thats how I gathered the courage to tell you my feelings.

 Chapter 536. Have You Been Keeping an Eye on Me During the Past Half Month?

    Chapter 536. Have You Been Keeping an Eye on Me During the Past Half Month?


    After hearing what she said, Nian Junting remained silent for a long time. He really wanted to kill Qiao Xue. However, based on Luosangs words, if Qiao Xue hadnt made all those mistakes, Luosang probably wouldnt have told him that she loved him, and the two of them might not have gotten back together so easily.


    Alright, since youve said so, Ill put her in the CEOs office and let her make tea. Its kind of a promotion, said Nian Junting ndly.


    The corner of Lu Kangs mouth twitched slightly. Mr. Nian, I remember that shes from the ounting Department. Youre sending an ountant to the CEOs office to make tea. Are you sure its a promotion?


    How is it not? The ounting Department is on the thirteenth floor. I sent her to the thirty-eighth floor from the thirteenth floor. What else does she want?


    Lu Kang didnt respond. Alright, it makes sense, he thought.


    Also, how did that careless woman enter the ounting Department? Did she pull strings? Nian Junting continued, Im afraid that shes gonna get some numbers wrong in the ounting Department.


    Under your strict rules, there are no strings to pull in ourpany, Lu Kang said.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes slightly, then abruptly said, Why are you trying so hard to help her? You dont fancy her, do you?


    I dont. Lu Kang started getting nervous.


    You chose her. You surely chose her based on your own preference. But, youre so half-hearted. You liked Yan Su not long ago. Nian Junting nced at Lu Kang with dislike, then said to Luosang, It has only been a few months, but he already likes someone else. Compared to what I have with you, what he had with Yan Su was just too shallow.


    Lu Kang wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. He wasnt fond of Qiao Xue. He really wasnt.


    In fact, Qiao Xue is an honest person. That kind of person is seen less frequently now. Luosangughed, then rubbed her eyes. She could barely keep her eyes open.


    Nian Junting noticed how tired she was. He stayed silent briefly, then said, Just go back and sleep. Lu Kang will stay here with me.


    Luosang was surprised. She thought that he would force her to go back to the vi with him tonight. Its alright, she said. Your drip will finish around eleven anyway.


    Cut the crap. Just do what I said. Do you think I dont know that you worked til midnight every single day during the past half month? You only had four or five hours of sleep per day. Youll break down, because youre not a robot. And you have ss tomorrow morning, Nian Junting said seriously. I dont need you here. Lu Kang, take her back.


    Have you been keeping an eye on me during the past half month? Luosang smiled at him.


    An awkward look shed across Nian Juntings face and disappeared in a moment.


    Lu Kangughed. Mr. Nian asked me to contact your voice acting director every single day. And every time he heard that you were staying up, he got angry andined that you had no idea how to treat yourself well. Miss Xu, just listen to Mr. Nian. If you break down, who will take care of our Mr. Nian?


    Junting, thank you. Luosang bent over and kissed Nian Juntings cheek.


    The sudden kiss even made the tips of Nian Juntings ears turn red. How can you kiss me in front of so many people? he asked.


    Luosang was speechless. Who had argued with thatdy about kissing in public just now? Ill head back, then. Dont forget to send me a WeChat message when you get home. Ill go to the vi to visit you tomorrow after ss. Tell me what you want to eat, and Ill cook for you. Luosang smiled, then left the hospital.


    Lu Kang followed her to the hospitals gate. She didnt let him drive her but took a taxi to her apartment. When she opened the door and walked in, she startled Yan Su, who was sitting on the couch doing a video chat on herptop. She hurriedly shut herptop and stuttered, Why why did you suddenlye back?

 Chapter 537. Brother, Its Late at Night. Why Are You Listening to Endless Love?

    Chapter 537. Brother, It''s Late at Night. Why Are You Listening to Endless Love?


    Luosang was puzzled for a short while, then asked, Isnt it normal for me toe back?


    Thats not what I meant. Mr. Nian is injured, and you guys finally made up. I thought youd be at Tianhu Vi tonight, Yan Su said awkwardly.


    Junting let mee back here, since I havent rested well in half a month. Lu Kang is there keep himpany. Luosang hesitated briefly, then said, I think I just saw Shi Xiang on your phone. Shi Xiang. She could scarcely believe that.


    Shi Xiang had gained Asia-wide poprity over the past few years. A couple of years ago, he started his career in South Korea. After bing popr in South Korea, he returned to China to continue his career. He was incredibly handsome with a stunning body shape, and he was also superb at singing. One of his songs was at the top of the list of the greatest songs in Asia. It was said that manypanies had invited him to star in movies and offered whopping sries. He could definitely be counted as an A-list male star in China.


    Luosang had heard Yan Su talking about her boyfriend before, but she never thought that it could actually be Shi Xiang. As a male singer, he was currently an idol of almost all young girls.


    Yan Su froze for quite a while, then said helplessly, You saw that?


    Oh my God. No wonder youve been waiting for him the whole time. Youre like Wang Bo-Chuen[1]. Luosang sighed. No woman would be willing to let go of a shining man like Shi Xiang.


    His manager isnt with him today, so he finally had the time to video chat with me. I didnt think that Yan Su gave her a sad nce.


    Sorry, I didnt know about it. Ill go to my room, and maybe you can carry on, said Luosang.


    Its okay. We were going to finish anyway. Yan Su said cautiously, But Sangsang, please keep this a secret. He hasnt terminated the contract with hispany. If other people find out about this, hell be in huge trouble.


    Im surely aware of that. Shi Xiang, right? If his fans knew that youre his girlfriend, theyde all the way here to tear you to pieces. Luosang shivered and said, I heard that his fans are terrifying. Earlier, there was a rumor about him and a female star, and that female star was cursed so violently by his fans.


    I know. Yan Su sighed.


    Luosang couldnt help but ask, Also, Im not throwing cold water on you, but even if you be a popr singer, are you sure that youre able to catch up with Shi Xiang?


    Yan Su knitted her brows, thought for a moment, and then responded, I know that hes very popr now, and that its very difficult for people to think that Im good enough to match him, but its okay. I believe in my abilities. Also, whats important is the resonance between two lovers, isnt it? We both want to be together.


    Alright, I wont say more about it. Just fight for it. Luosang encouraged her, then went to take a shower.


    She was probably exhausted. Even though many things had happened today, she fell asleep the moment she her head hit the pillow.


    The next day, she woke up and opened her WeChat. Last night at 20 past 12, Nian Junting had sent her a messageIm back in the vi. Good night. Dont forget to visit me tomorrow.


    She smiled sweetly, then checked the WeChat Moments. She saw CEO Nian had posted a song at 12:50st nightEndless Love by Aaron Kwok.


    Nian Xi replied to himBrother, itste at night. Why are you listening to Endless Love? Just sleep.


    CEO Nian responded I can do this every day, every month, every year, until forever.


    Nian XiPsycho.


    SiAw, aw, aw, Im in the Northwest, eating marinated meat in a baked bun. CEO Nian, you have endless love now, so when will you summon me back? I miss you endlessly.


    [1] Wang Bo-Chuen is a character in the Chinese ssic novel, A Dream in Red Mansions.

 Chapter 538. She Seriously Could Not Let Her Relationship Affect Her Studies

    Chapter 538. She Seriously Could Not Let Her Rtionship Affect Her Studies


    CEO Nian replied to Si  Arent you gonna fall in love with someone in the Northwest?


    Ji Nuanyi replied to CEO Nian  No wonder Si is missingtely. It turns out that hes in the Northwest and in love.


    Si replied to Ji Nuanyi  Im not in love with anyone. Im not! Nian Junting, stop talking nonsense


    Luosang found CEO Nians every WeChat Moment post amusing. She didnt remember when Ji Nuanyi had be Xiao Sis WeChat friend. She gave Nian Junting a like.


    Once she got dressed, she got a call from Nian Junting. Are you up? he asked.


    I should be asking you that question, she replied with a gentle voice. You were posting WeChat Moments sotest night, but you got up so early. You should get some more sleep.


    I didnt sleepst night, he said.


    Why? Did your wounds hurt too much? Luosang was so worried.


    No. I was just too excited, he responded.


    Really? Luosang didnt even know how to react. Weve been together for quite a long time.


    But I have this excitement, as if I have fallen in love with you again, Nian Junting said. When will youe here? I miss you.


    I have sses today. Ill be there after ss, and Ill cook for you. Luosang smiled sweetly.


    Ill be expecting you. Ah, I asked Steward Wu to bring you breakfast, he said.


    You shouldnt. I havent used up the money you put on my meal card yet. Ill just have breakfast in the schools canteen, she said.


    You have such a great appetite. When you finish the breakfast that I prepared for you, youll be able to eat more, anyway.


    Luosang didnt respond. As she freshened up, Steward Wu brought breakfast to her.


    Miss Xu, this is your breakfast. Young Master made it for you himself. Steward Wus wrinkled face was a little red when he handed the breakfast to Luosang.


    Luosang was surprised. Hes injured. Can he still make breakfast? And, does he know how?


    He made it with a crutch. Just take a look. Steward Wu smiled mysteriously, then left.


    Luosang opened the box and found three heart-shaped fried eggs. Each egg had a letter written on it  I Love You. Luosang blushed.


    Wow. Yan Su came over and said, You made me jealous at the start of the day. I didnt know that Mr. Nian had suddenly be such a romantic man. He even made you fried eggs with an injured leg.


    Luosang felt sweet, but still, she said ndly, Its easy. You only need to crack the eggs into the mold.


    True, but hes willing to do it for you. Also, he was injured pretty badly yesterday. You didnt see it. After he fell down, he was even dragged on the ground for a few seconds. Thankfully, hes strong.


    Luosang pressed her lips together. Her heart ached a little when she heard what Yan Su said, as if she were the one suffering the injuries.


    During sses, Luosang kept receiving Nian Juntings messages.


    I miss you.


    Ten minutester  I miss you again.


    Luosang was sitting in the second row, and Nian Juntings messages kept her from focusing on the ss. The professor called her name, Luosang, why are you smiling all the time?


    Her ssmates all turned to look at her. Her face turned really red.


    Youre in a ss. Dont be distracted. Focus, said the professor.


    Luosang hurriedly nodded. She didnt dare to look at her phone again. She seriously could not let her rtionship with Nian Junting affect her studies.


    When she had finished all her sses for the day, Lu Kang had already been waiting for a while in the car, which was parked by the school gate. Luosang got into the car, feeling guilty. Mr. Lu, sorry for the extra work again. You already have a lot to do.


    Please dont say so. My job is to do whatever Mr. Nian tells me to do. If he didnt give me any tasks, Id lose my job.

 Chapter 539. Mr. Nian Waited Alone in the Noodle Restaurant for a Long Time

    Chapter 539. Mr. Nian Waited Alone in the Noodle Restaurant for a Long Time


    Luosang got into the car, feeling very sorry. Mr. Lu, sorry for giving you extra work again. Youre so busy, she said.


    Please dont say that. My job is to do whatever Mr. Nian wants me to do. If he didnt give me tasks, Id lose my job, Lu Kang responded hurriedly. Besides, Mr. Nian is really paying me well. Last year, I got over two million as a bonus.


    Thats a lot of money! Luosang was a little jealous of him. Voice actors worked behind the scenes. Their careers seemed morous, yet their wages werent high.


    Yeah, not to mention the fact that as Mr. Nians special assistant, I can apply for all sorts of reimbursements. Lu Kangughed. Many people in thepany want my job.


    Luosang nodded. Of course, lots of people envied him.


    In fact, I could have earned more. But Miss Xu, my wages seriously shrank because you and Mr. Nian always fight, Lu Kang continued in a deep voice.


    Luosang was reminded of what Qiao Xue had said. She looked embarrassed.


    I was kidding. Lu Kang burst out inughter. After that, he said, Miss Xu, you really dont need to doubt what Mr. Nian feels about you. When you werent here, he couldnt eat or sleep. He sent Mr. Xiao to the Northwest in a fit of pique because Mr. Xiao got drunk that day and told Miss Leng about his condition.


    So Si was sent to the Northwest because of me. Luosang now understood what had happened.


    Yeah. Mr. Nian was so angry. He went to Mr. Xiaos home to question him on New Years Day. Also, the day before you left, didnt Mr. Nian invite you to dinner? He was going to have dinner with you at the Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant. That morning, he noticed that you were in a bad mood, so he bought you arge diamond ring. He said that he had lost the engagement ring the day he proposed and hadnt bought you a new one. He also wanted to tell you about Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant that day, to surprise you. He even spent tens of thousands on flowers to decorate the noodle restaurant, but you didnt show up, said Lu Kang regretfully.


    Luosang was stunned. She thought that they were only going to have a regr dinner that day. She hadnt expected Nian Junting to make so many arrangements in secret. Sadly, she had been absent minded because of Leng Shuangwei. She hadnt even answered his calls.


    That day, Mr. Nian waited alone in the restaurant for a long time. He couldnt get in touch with you, so he called many other people. He worried that you might have had an ident on your way there. When he heard that you were at home, he was relieved. He wasnt angry, only a little disappointed. He packed a bowl of beef noodles for you when he left. The chef had been preparing the broth for the beef noodles since that morning. Lu Kang nced back at Luosang, then continued, Mr. Nian is really nice to you.


    When he first started to pursue you, he talked to you about constetions. But in fact, he knew nothing about them. Before your date, he spent a whole day reading books about constetions, so you wouldnt find out that he was lying. He even read those books in his office.


    Back when you were his caregiver, he once saw you from his car on his way to the hospital. You were eating beef noodles. That day, he was going to the hospital for a checkup, and you said that you needed to go back home to pick up a few things. Thats why he took you to a beef noodle restaurant on your first date. He thought you liked beef noodles. The day you left, he took you to the same restaurant. Before, he would never step into a ce like that.


    Mr. Nian asked me to start working on Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant after your first date. He always says that you pursued him, but in fact, he took your rtionship really seriously. He thought about your future after only your first date. But you rejected him that night. After that, he asked me to buy him lots of books about how to sweet talk. He read those books in his office every single day.

 Chapter 540. Mr. Nian, Why Are You in a Wheelchair Again?

    Chapter 540. Mr. Nian, Why Are You in a Wheelchair Again?


    Lu Kangughed. Can you imagine a CEO reading those kinds of books in his office? The others didnt know, but as his assistant, I knew it clearly.


    Hearing what Lu Kang said, Luosang wanted tough, but somehow her eyes turned red. Nian Junting was the owner of a publicpany. Who could have imagined that he would do so many childish things when he started dating? Before, she didnt understand why he believed that her favorite food was beef noodles, but now she did. He happened to see her eating beef noodles and stubbornly thought that she loved them. He was too proud. He was never willing to tell others about his real feelings, so sometimes Luosang couldnt see the efforts that he had made for her.


    Also, when you left as his caregiver, he always called us by your name in his office. Lu Kang added, In fact, he was already very used to your presence back when you were taking care of him. I think if you hadnt lied about your age, you wouldnt have needed to wait until you ran into each other again. You had a chance then. The third day after you left, Mr. Nian went to where you lived to find you. He said that a girl living there alone was too unsafe. Sadly, you had moved away. He was pretty disappointed. When he met you again, he acted calmly, but in fact, he was really happy.


    Luosang really hadnt known that he had gone to look for her after she left. After all, she was not pretty back then, and he thought she was older than he was. At that time, he always proudly judged her by telling her that she was ugly and unfashionable. However, thinking about those days, Luosang found those memories sweet and beautiful.


    When she was taking care of him, she had nothing butints in her head. At the time, she was wondering what girl with poor taste would like him. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, she had already fallen in love with him.


    Lu Kang, thank you for telling me all this. She now understood that she was never a tool to fulfill his sexual needs. The good feelings they had about each other had been generated bit by bit as they knew more and more about each other.


    Please dont tell Mr. Nian that I told you all these things. Hes really proud. Hed skin me alive if he knew, Lu Kang hurriedly said to Luosang.


    Ill think about it, if you have more to tell me next time, Luosang replied jokingly.


    Sure. Youre my bosss future wife. Lu Kangughed.


    Luosang looked outside the window. All of a sudden, her mind was upied by the simple words in Nian Juntings WeChat messages  I miss you.


    The car drove into the vis yard. From a distance, she saw Nian Junting sitting in a wheelchair in the garden. As Luosang got out of the car, he wheeled himself to her. Suddenly, Luosang felt as if she had traveled back tost year, when she was still taking care of him. She gave a smile, slowly walked to him, and said, Mr. Nian, why are you in a wheelchair again?


    The smile on Nian Juntings face froze. Why are you calling me Mr. Nian? Call me Junting or husband.


    No. Im here to take care of you. How can I call you so intimately? Luosang joked.


    Nian Junting was puzzled for a second, then suddenly he wore a weird smile and said, I have an idea. When we have sex next time, you can pretend to be my caregiver, and you can take care of me. And somehow, we end up having sex. Its gonna be fun.


    Luosang couldnt continue the joke as her face blushed scarlet. Was that what people called role ying?


    Mr. Nian, I didnt know that you have that kind of weird interest. You started imagining things startingst year, when I was taking care of you, didnt you? Luosang said jokingly.

 Chapter 541. Young Master, Im Still Here

    Chapter 541. Young Master, I''m Still Here


    Nonsense, Nian Junting denied it quickly. Am I that kind of man?


    Luosang could not help butugh. Before, she might not have believed what he just said, but after hearing what Lu Kang said, she actually believed him a little. Nian Junting was never willing to tell people about how he really felt, so who knew?


    Are you feeling better today? Have you had an anti-inmmatory shot yet? asked Luosang.


    Doctor Han came over and gave me the shot. Nian Junting held her hand and said, Come here, sit on myp and let me hold you.


    No! Your legs are injured, and Sister Lan and Steward Wu are both here watching. Luosang was shy. Ill make you dinner.


    In the kitchen, Luosang prepared the food with Sister Lans help. Sister Lan was very happy to see her. You are finally back. I dont even know how I got through the days without you. Oh my, I really regret telling Young Master that you were on your period.


    Im sorry, Sister Lan. I put you in a difficult position. Luosang felt so guilty.


    Its okay, as long as you and Young Master are doing good. When you two get married, you can have a couple of chubby little boys, and Ill look after them. Sister Lan chuckled. Trust me, Im good at babysitting.


    Luosangs face turned red. Wasnt this conversation a little off-topic?


    She was in a good mood, so she made six dishes for dinner as well as a chicken porridge, which was Nian Juntings favorite.


    The meal was served. Seeing the dishes on the table, Nian Junting felt ttered. You havent treated me so well in a very long time.


    Just eat. Luosang handed him a bowl of mushroom soup.


    Nian Junting finished the soup, then took a deep breath and said, This is food for human beings. Its so delicious.


    Sister Lan wanted to cry. Young Master, Im still here. Does my food taste that awful?


    Nian Junting snorted, nced at her, and responded, Your food has no problem, but you do.


    Sister Lan didnt know what to say. What problem did she have? She was just a little fat and not as pretty as Sangsang.


    Sister Lan, ignore him, said Luosang. Meanwhile, she gave him a sweet smile. What surprised her was that the two of them had finished all six dishes. She had a great appetite, but tonight, Nian Junting had eaten most of the food.


    You might throw up if youve had too much. Luosang was really worried.


    That wont happen. Ever since you left, I was withering away. I need some nourishment. Nian Junting sighed.


    Luosang was immediately distressed. How much weight did you lose?


    Nian Junting blinked. A short whileter, he murmured, About half a kilogram.


    Luosang was speechless. How can you say that you withered away if you only lost half a kilogram? Any person could be half to one kilogram lighter at night than in the morning.


    I lost two kilograms, she said.


    Isnt that because you worked too much? Nian Junting asked.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    After dinner, Luosang wheeled Nian Junting around the vi, as the weather was nice. A seven or eight-year-old child passed by with his grandma. He pointed at Nian Junting and said, Grandma, that man is in a wheelchair. Hes been in a wheelchair sincest year.


    Nian Junting red at him, upset.


    His grandma hurriedly responded, Dont say that. You see, hes been in a wheelchair for two years, but thatdy never left him. That is true love.


    No, its like sticking a lovely flower in a dunghill, said the boy.


    Nian Junting was pissed off. Why on earth was he a dunghill? His leg was just injured temporarily. Luosangughed her head off. She hurriedly wheeled Nian Junting away.


    That child is not adorable at all, Nian Juntingined.

 Chapter 542. I Guess You Need to Give Me a Sponge Bath Again

    Chapter 542. I Guess You Need to Give Me a Sponge Bath Again


    Take no offense at a childs babbling. Luosang gently patted him on the shoulder.


    Nian Juntings eyelids dropped as he said, Just wheel me away.


    Luosang moved faster. When they were pretty far away from the kid, she looked at the pors and willows on both sides of theke and sighed. What that kid said reminded me of before. When I was your caregiver, I always wheeled you here for a walk. At that time, you were awful to me.


    Nian Junting snorted. When Luosang wheeled him under a streetlight, he abruptly asked her to stop. After that, he reached a hand into his trouser pocket and took out a floral shaped diamond ring.


    Luosang had heard Lu Kang mentioning that ring and had been expecting it. But still, when he suddenly took it out, she paused in surprise. Under the warm streetlight, the diamond ring glowed dazzlingly.


    Luo, I was going to give you this ring that night before New Years at dinner. I lost the ring when I proposed to you. I owe you a ring. Do you like this one? Nian Junting raised his head and looked Luosang in the eyes.


    The light poured down, emphasizing the perfect shape of his incredibly handsome face. Luosangs heart even missed a beat. She bent over, reached out her snow-white, slender fingers, and said, Put it on my finger.


    He had put a ring on her finger once before. Back then, she was still his girlfriend, and he put the ring on the wrong finger. This time was different. He put the ring directly on her ring finger. You only put a ring on that finger when you get married. Lusoangughed.


    Well get married sooner orter. Will I possibly let you run away? Nian Junting sped his fingers with hers, saying, Luo, if anything like this happens again, dont keep it to yourself. Just tell me about it. You have to understand that I am such an outstanding man. Too many women will want to sow discord between us.


    Luosang deeply agreed with him on the first half of his speech, but thest half She was used to it anyway, and he was not wrong.


    Leng Shuangwei is not just any woman. Shes your ex-girlfriend, and you said yourself that shes perfect. Luosang nced at him. It turns out the perfect woman in your heart is a woman like that.


    Im very disappointed in her, too. Nian Junting frowned. Jealousy can change a person thoroughly, even a woman like her. I really dont understand the world of you girls. But dont worry, Ji Chuan isnt marrying Nian Xi anymore, so I wont see her again.


    Speaking of which, how are Ji Chuan and Nian Xi now? They suddenly canceled the wedding. Didnt the Feng familys people talk to your parents? Luosang asked.


    They did. Earlier, Ji Chuans parents came to mypany every day, asking me to talk to Nian Xi. Back then, my heart was broken. I even wanted to peel Ji Chuans skin off. How could I ever be in the mood to talk to Nian Xi? said Nian Junting ndly. Besides, if they ended up happy, what about me? Could I watch them being happy? Sorry, Im not that generous.


    Luosang wanted tough. If his heart broke, everyone around him would seriously suffer.


    They took a walk around theke. It was already eight oclock when they got home. After getting upstairs, Nian Junting raised his brows and excitedly gave Lusoang a nce. He asked, What should I do? Im having difficulty moving. I guess you need to give me a sponge bath again.


    Yeah, but you used to hate me sponge-bathing you the most. Luosang smiled faintly.


    I dont care. I want you to give me that sponge bath now. I didnt shower yesterday. Wipe me clean, now. I feel really ufortable. Nian Junting was really excited. Hurry up, carry me onto the bed.

 Chapter 543. I Want It So Much You Havent Touched Me in 20 Days

    Chapter 543. I Want It So Much You Haven''t Touched Me in 20 Days


    Luosang was momentarily speechless. I remember that you hated me carrying you the most. You only have one injured leg, not two, she said.


    Yeah? Nian Junting blinked. I forgot about that.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. How badly do you want me to carry you? she thought.


    He propped his hands on the wheelchair to stand up, then hopped to the bed. After lying down, he said to Luosang, Hurry up, get some water.


    Luosang walked into the bathroom while shaking her head. Soon after, she came out with a bowl of warm water. She wrung out a washcloth, handed it to Nian Junting, and said, Mr. Nian, please let me remind you again, you only have a sprain, not a spine injury. Your hands are good. Do it yourself. Dont act like youre disabled.


    Nian Junting didnt respond. He suddenly felt so upset, as he wanted nothing else but for her to take care of him now. My hand is aching. A whileter, he raised his right hand and said, I had intravenous drips today and yesterday. My hand hurts so much. Its terribly sore.


    Luosang couldnt think of a word to say for a long time. How could he make up an excuse like that? He was so shameless. Did he think that she was silly enough to believe that?


    I dont feel good, so I dont want to move. Nian Juntingid on the bed, motionless, and said, You have to give me a sponge bath, or Ill never take a shower or wash my face or feet. The doctor said that it will take at least a week for me to heal.


    Luosang had no choice but to fulfill his ridiculous request and give him a sponge bath. After all, she was so touched by what Lu Kang had said earlier. As she used to look after him, she was pretty practiced at giving him a sponge bath. However, she felt even shier than before when seeing the private part of his body again.


    Nian Junting shamelessly covered his forehead with a hand and said, What should I do?


    Luosang rolled her eyes.


    Nian Junting quickly lifted his head and said, You cant do this. You have to deal with it, or Ill feel ufortable.


    Arent you asking for too much? Luosangs pretty face looked scarlet under themplight. You were able to get through it before, werent you?


    I was young. I was able to get through anything back then. But now, Im old. Nian Junting gritted his teeth and sighed with a bitter face.


    How old are you? That was only a year ago, Luosang replied.


    I was only 29st year, but this year, Im almost 30. Nian Junting gazed at her and said, Sangsang, I want it so much. You havent touched me in about 20 days. If you dontfort me as quickly as you can, I might start to lose it again. I am a man with a psychological issue. The doctor said that the old illness might rpse if I hold it back for too long.


    Which doctor said that? Luosang asked.


    Um A doctor whos called, Doctor Nian, he said.


    Luosang burst out inughter. She seriously admired him for being so good at making things up. However, she really didnt have the heart to watch him suffer. After all, sexual pleasure was one of the best things in life.


    Quite a whileter, Nian Junting gave a muffled moan. Luosangs face blushed crimson. Mr. Nian, are you satisfied with my service? she asked after finishing.


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say.

 Chapter 544. I Cant Satisfy You, but I Can Kiss You

    Chapter 544. I Can''t Satisfy You, but I Can Kiss You


    Nian Juntings face was filled with bitterness. It finally ended just now. Why are you luring me again?


    How did I lure you? Whats in your head? Luosang threw the question back to him. Do you want me to go out and find a real caregiver to help you? I think you have some dirty thoughts in your head, and I wonder if youll think about those things when youre served by another woman.


    I wont. Nian Junting was a little scared by Luosangs quick speech. I just thought about the way you were before. Sangsang, what should I do now?


    Sorry, my hand is limp. Lets give you a coldpress. Luosang put the cold towel onto Nian Juntings body. The coldness made him shiver.


    At that time, Luosang had already carried the basin away with a smile.


    At night, theyy side by side on the samerge bed. Nian Junting buried his face between Luosangs shoulders and neck, and slowly kissed her skin again and again. Luosang closed her eyes. Lying in his arms again, she had all kinds of feelings well up in her heart.


    Luo, will kissing you like this make you feel that Im with you because I want your body again? Nian Junting said abruptly in a low voice, You said that I never cared about your feelings when ites to sex. Ive thought about it carefully. I think youre right. I only cared about my own needs and didnt really think if you were tired or not. Thats why Leng Shuangweis words made you misunderstand me.


    Luosang felt warmed. He finally realized that problem. Before, she just couldnt talk it through with him. Um, a little, she said. And youd demand it a second time if we didnt do it the previous day. I really couldnt cope with it. Its not that I didnt want to do it with you, but sometimes, I was just too tired.


    Um, Ill respect you. Nian Junting asked, Then you can decide how many times per week?


    I dont think we need to fix a number, said Luosang shyly. I think we can do it when we both want it. I mean, both of us, not just you.


    I get it, said Nian Junting in a muffled voice. I want it right now, do you?


    Luosang thought that she was used to how thick he was, but still, his words would asionally make her want to crawl into a hole. How could he ask her that question? Did he expect her to say yes?


    A short whileter, Luosang responded quietly, Youre injured. You should rest. Well talk about it when you get better.


    So, you want it, too? Nian Junting said, surprised.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    I get it. Ill satisfy you when I recover. Nian Junting turned Luosangs body over. Thankfully, the light was off, or he would have seen her scarlet face.


    I cant satisfy you now, but I can kiss you. Nian Juntings adams apple squirmed slightly, then he leaned his head forward to search for her soft lips. He gently rubbed his lips against hers for a while, then carefully unclenched her teeth and intruded into her mouth.


    For a long time, they hadnt kissed each other as hard as they wanted to like they did now. Both of them were like fishes that craved water, kissing each other thirstily. Luosang closed her eyes, put her arms around his waist, and let his tongue sweep across her mouth. Their breaths grew heavier and heavier. Sometimes, they could even hear each other swallow, and that made their hearts thump. In fact, sometimes it didnt require actual sex for two people to feel each others love. Simple kisses like this could do magic.


    In the next week, Luosang had been traveling between her school and the vi. She studied at school during the daytime and went back to the vi to take care of Nian Junting at night.


    Wednesday, Nian Junting took off the gauze. Luosang came back to check the scabbing of his wounds. When she saw the wound on his back, she didnt even want to talk to him for quite a while.

 Chapter 545. Countless Women Would Be So Jealous of Her

    Chapter 545. Countless Women Would Be So Jealous of Her


    The injury on your back is not even as bad as what I hadst time when I fell over. Luosang had the impulse to bite him. Earlier, when seeing him being wheeled out of the treatment room, she was so distressed that she almost cried. But it turned out that there was nothing but a tiny scratch on his back, which was not even as big as half of her little finger. He was so shameless.


    Nian Junting calmly rubbed his own back and said withposure, Im surprised. The doctor did a good job. My skin is healing quickly, and even the scar has almost faded.


    Keep lying through your teeth. Luosang sneered, then turned and prepared to leave.


    Nian Junting grabbed her wrist, dragged her into his arms, and put his lips near her ears before saying in a deep and dry voice, I admit that I lied to you. I wanted you to worry about me. Under those circumstances, I had no other options than to pretend to be badly injured.


    And the doctor helped you? Luosang asked grumpily.


    Yeah. Nian Junting nodded. In the emergency room, I told the doctor that Ive been in love with you for ten years, and that you were going abroad. I said that I tried my best to catch up with you and to persuade you to stay. I ran three whole blocks, then had an ident. I told him that I wanted to make my injuries look bad, so that you might stay.


    Luosang was speechless for a while. It was a shame that he was not a scriptwriter.


    Nian Junting hurriedly continued, Alright, Ive finally recovered. Let me take you to Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant. Well have our dinner there.


    Hearing about Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant, Luosangs heart was nearly filled by a sweet feeling, so she forgave Nian Junting for lying.


    Nian Junting took her to thergest Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant in Xia City. It was Luosangs first time eating there. The restaurant was over 100 square meters and was quaintly decorated, looking very special. It was not especially exquisite, but it was clean and tidy enough to make people feelfortable.


    They arrived at the dinner hour, and there were about 40 customers in the restaurant. On a wall in the restaurant was calligraphy that readLuo Ting Noodle Restaurant was founded because of my wife. She likes noodles. We had our first date at a noodle restaurant. Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant is a monument to our love, and it means everything to me. The calligraphy work was inscribed with a nameTing.


    Luosang gazed straight at that name. At that very moment, she suddenly felt that she already had all she ever wanted. She felt as if she had eaten a lot of candy, and that sweetness was lingering in her heart. She would never say that Nian Junting had low EQ anymore, as he had secretly founded such arge chain noodle restaurant as a reminder of their love. Countless women would be so jealous of her.


    When did I be your wife? Luosang spent a while longer gazing at the wall, then held his hands and turned back to look at Nian Junting gently.


    Sooner orter, you will. Nian Junting smiled, put an arm around her, and said, Also, wife will make this more impressive.


    Did you write those words? Luosang asked.


    Yeah. Nian Junting nodded. I wrote them myself. The pieces in other stores are copies of this one.


    I didnt know you can do calligraphy. Luosang sighed. She admired him. Thats really beautiful calligraphy.


    My grandpa taught me calligraphy when I was eight years old. I can do lots of things. However, Ive been keeping a low profile. I dont like to show off. You can take your time to discover my other hidden skills. While speaking, Nian Junting guided Luosang to the innermost table in the restaurant.


    This restaurant is booming. Luosang looked around and said, The noodles here arent expensive. I remember that the noodles in the restaurant where you purchased themst time were very pricy.

 Chapter 546. Shes So Young, but Shes Already Living at a Mans Place

    Chapter 546. She''s So Young, but She''s Already Living at a Man''s ce


    Yeah. Nian Junting nodded. The noodle restaurant did start fast, but before that, Id hired a professional team to do a market survey. The foods in the restaurant we purchased earlier are too pricey. The high-end market isnt suitable for a noodle restaurant. Most of those rich people wouldnt eat in noodle restaurants. Therefore, Im targeting the customers with normal-level budgets. Ive also hired some quite experienced chefs to lower the costs but maintain the good vor as much as possible. As a result, weve been having lots of return customers since the restaurant opened.


    Luosang honestly admired him. He was indeed a business genius. An investor founded a noodle restaurant and made it so sessful. Was he born with that good business acumen? Some people say that rich people could get richer and richer, but the poor ones could only count on never-changing sries. She believed that she was thetter.


    Ive hired a team and made an overall n. If we can have three hundred restaurants all over the country next year, well be able to make three hundred million a year in profit. This is just a small business to me, as the money is so little, after all, Nian Junting added.


    Luosang stayed for a few seconds, then said, Can I have some beer?


    Why? I thought you dont drink, Nian Junting asked.


    I want to quench my sorrow with alcohol, said Luosang, upset. That business was able to make three hundred million a year, yet he actually called it a small business. God. Luosang would be so grateful if she could make three hundred thousand a year.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, Can you let me finish? For the three hundred restaurants, I was only talking about the ones in cities. Apart from them, we also n to open restaurants in airports. In airports, the price of food can be doubled. With my current ability, stationing in airports is easy. In about two years, the profit will reach five hundred million, even though some restaurants might lose money. Still, that money is too small, not even enough for me to buy my wife a few jewelry pieces. So, my ultimate goal is the global market. But still, the profit is not enough for me. To be honest, if it wasnt for you, Id never spend my time running unprofitable restaurants like this.


    Luosang honestly didnt know what to say. One bottle of beer just wasnt enough to quench her sorrow. After the meal, they went to see a movie. This time, Luosang wisely chose a Hollywood blockbuster. Nian Junting enjoyed it and even said that he would like toe again.


    Back at the vi, they saw a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado parked in the yard.


    We have guests. Luosang turned and found Nian Junting frowning.


    Its Ji Chuan, he said.


    Luosang immediately fell into silence. She didnt have a good impression of Feng Ji Chuan. However, he and Nian Junting had grown up together, and they fought side by side in the army. Nian Junting could never cut Ji Chuan out of his life for her, and she understood it.


    They were holding hands as they walked into the living room and saw Feng Ji Chuan sitting on the couch, smoking. Seeing them, he put out the cigarette, stood up, and looked at their hands with aplicated expression.


    Junting, Miss Xu, you got back together. Congrattions, he said.


    Thank you. Luosang had no idea how sincere Ji Chuan was. Junting, you guys talk. Ill go upstairs and take a shower, she said.


    Hearing the word shower, Nian Juntings eyes began to glow, unbeknownst to him. He then looked at Ji Chuan with dislike. Why on earth was he visiting at this time? They just had dinner and watched a movie, and they were nning to go straight back to bed and do something nice. He hadnt had sex in nearly a month. He had almost forgotten what that felt like.


    Seeing the look on his face, Ji Chuan couldnt help but frown. He didnt understand it before, but now, he believed that he had figured it out. His good friend, Nian Junting, was obsessed with that woman because of sex.


    The girls out here are nothing like the girls in the army. Shes so young, but shes already living at a mans ce. She really has no sense of shame, he thought.

 Chapter 547. Nian Xi Is Your Fiancee, Your Lover

    Chapter 547. Nian Xi Is Your Fiancee, Your Lover


    What are you doing here? Nian Junting sat in front of him.


    Ji Chuan frowned and said, Were like brothers. We grew up together. Are you never going to talk to me again? Junting, dont forget that we used to fight side by side on battlefields. We stayed close friends even after you retired. All these years, you always asked me when Id be back so we could get together. Every time I came back, we spent about 20 days together in a month. I had an ident, and you went to the border, no questions asked. I, Feng Ji Chuan, will never forget that you, Nian Junting, are my friend. But are you going to give up on our friendship because of a woman?


    Nian Junting rubbed the spot between his eyebrows while saying, Ji Chuan, Ive considered you as my brother the whole time, yet how have you treated me? I just think that you owe me a sincere apology.


    Alright, I apologize. But I also need to tell you honestly that I didnt know what Shuangwei had said to Luosang that day. I didnt even know about your illness. Ji Chuan crossed his fingers, nodded, and said, Today, I came here because of Nian Xi. Before New Years, I asked for both sick leave and marriage leave. As I didnt get married, the marriage leave has been canceled. I need to return to the army in just two weeks. Even though Im nning to get a transfer back to this city, its gonna take three months at least. I want to make up with Nian Xi. Now, Xu Luosang hase back to you, so can you please talk to Nian Xi?


    Cant you even work things out with a girl? Do you need my help with that? Nian Junting crossed his legs.


    Havent you been opposed to our marriage all this time? said Ji Chuan sourly. Nian Xi and I have been engaged for such a long time. Do you really want us to break up?


    Ji Chuan, youre right. Ive been opposed to your marriage, because I was upset. If Im not happy, none of you can be happy. However, you know Nian Xi. How many times has she actually listened to me since she was little?


    Nian Junting stood up, looked down at him, and continued, I cant help you. You need to go to find her. You need to let her know that you love her. You shouldnt have asked Leng Shuangwei to be her maid of honor. Back then, when that thing happened, didnt you see how hard it hit Nian Xi? She thought that she lived in a happy family, but in the end, that family fell apart. She loved our mother so much, yet you tried to stab our mom in her heart. Do you even care about Nian Xis feelings?


    Ji Chuan clenched his fists, lowered his head, and pressed his lips together. But I feel sorry for Shuangwei as well, he said.


    You feel sorry for Shuangwei, but shes only a friend of yours. Nian Xi is your fiancee, your lover. Nian Junting frowned and said, In the future, Shuangwei will also have a husband who loves her.


    She wont. Shes all about you. Ji Chuan shook his head.


    Nian Junting abruptly stared straight at him and continued, No wonder Nian Xi suddenly had a fight with you. You put your girlfriend and a female friend of yours in the same position. If I did the same, Luosang would directly break up with me without giving me any chance at all.


    I never put Nian Xi and Shuangwei in the same position. Ji Chuan stood up and said, Im clearly aware that Nian Xi will be my other half.


    Ji Chuan, Nian Xi respects you. No matter how embarrassed she felt, she never argued with you in front of Leng Shuangwei. She has shown you enough respect. So, if you really love her, please respect her, too. If you do not love her, please stay away from her. Nian Junting continued in a nd tone, Im not gonna say more about it. From now on, Ill leave you two to handle it alone.

 Chapter 548. He Had Really Lost Himself in His Obsession with Xu Luosang

    Chapter 548. He Had Really Lost Himself in His Obsession with Xu Luosang


    Ji Chuan opened his mouth slightly. However, he didnt even manage to think of one word to say. Atst, he only nodded. Lets get together sometime. Im about to leave. Weve only met once since Ive been back this time, he said.


    As long as you dont invite Leng Shuangwei, Nian Junting said.


    Do you have to be so cruel? Ji Chuan was a little unhappy. You cant be a couple, but cant you even be friends?


    Shed have to get rid of her inappropriate thoughts to be friends with me. Last time, after she and Luosang saw each other, Luosang left for twenty days, Nian Junting replied in a nd tone.


    Do you really have no feelings for her at all? Shes your first girlfriend, said Ji Chuan with discontent. If your father hadnt had an affair with her mother, you might have gotten married and had kids already.


    That is all in the past. I only want to have kids with Luosang now, Nian Junting responded without hesitation.


    Ji Chuan gazed into his eyes, feeling so angry. He believed that Nian Junting had really lost himself in his obsession with Xu Luosang. He heard that some young girls were really good in bed nowadays, and that seemed to be true.


    Ill take off, he said.


    Um, Nian Junting replied.


    After Feng Ji Chuan left, Nian Junting quickly went upstairs. The bedroom was empty. Luosangs coat was on the couch. The sound of running water was heard from the bathroom. He turned his dark eyes to the bathroom door.


    Luosang was standing under the showerhead. The water flowed across her snow-white skin. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. Nian Junting came in, naked. The steam didnt cover his muscr shape.


    Luosang screamed and hurriedly tried to cover her own body. However, two bare hands werent enough to cover all the sensitive parts of her body, so she covered her face with those hands without thinking.


    The fire of desire immediately burned ragingly in Nian Juntings dark eyes. He walked over in big steps, lifted Luosang, and pressed her against the wall. Luosang shivered slightly when her back touched the cold wall tiles.


    Her face turned charmingly red as she punched Nian Junting on the shoulder and said, Put me down.


    No. Luo, youre so beautiful this way, Nian Junting murmured, gazing into herrge, watery eyes. A stream of warmth gushed straight up from his lower abdomen. He couldnt help but lower his head to kiss her moist lips. His soft tongue broke into her mouth and swept inside it. It was like a spark suddenly expanded into raging mes.


    Being kissed by him, Luosang had to raise her head. The bathroom was already warm enough. As he came in, Luosang felt that her whole body was burning and shaking. Her body was pressed tightly against the wall, and her feet couldnt reach the floor, so with no other choice, she coiled her legs around his waist.


    Her long hair, which was tied into a bun, loosed, fell over her shoulders, and drew a series of soft arcs in the warm air. Luosang finally freed her lips and said a few words while gasping for air, Nian Junting, were in the bathroom.


    Yeah, we are. I want to do it with you in the bathroom. After saying that, Nian Junting lifted her even higher. His sudden movement made Luosang automatically hold his neck. He buried his face deeply between her neck and chest, kissing her.


    Luosangs heart started beating rapidly, too. All the misunderstandings were solved, and the passion came back. The shower could have ended in half an hour, but this time, the two of them spent an hour and a half in the shower. Afterward, Nian Junting carried Luosang out of the bathroom.

 Chapter 549. Is This A Surprise from Luosang?

    Chapter 549. Is This A Surprise from Luosang?


    Luosangid on the bedzily while Nian Junting was drying her hair. Nian Junting was heavy-handed, as it was the first time he had dried a womans hair. He hurt Luosang many times in the process.


    Cant you be gentler? Youre hurting my scalp. Luosang was already exhausted. Even when turning back to give Nian Junting a threatening nce, she still seemed to bezy and weak.


    You cant me me. Your hair is tangled, Nian Junting exined.


    Cant you untangle it gently? Luosangined in a sweet and soft voice.


    Alright Nian Junting lowered his head, upset. He suddenly missed their earlier encounter, when Luosang was moaning and crying with her limbs coiled around him like vines.


    She said that she was tired, yet her body never stopped following his movements. At that moment, he was even willing to die for that pleasure. But now, he needed to stop himself from reliving that, or his body would start to burn again. His woman was not strong enough to do it two times in a row.


    He silently dried her hair, then spent a moment appreciating his work. Im amazing. On the first try, I managed to create a lion-like hairstyle for her. Also, my woman looks stunning in any hairstyle, he thought.


    Luosang buried her face in a pillow while askingnguidly, What did Ji Chuan say to you earlier?


    Um, he asked me to talk to Nian Xi. He wants to make up with her. Nian Juntingid down by her side and said, But I think he needs to do that himself. Can any man have a wife without making any effort?


    Luosang nodded. In fact, she had guessed as much.


    But I feel that Ji Chuan cares about Shuangwei a little too much, Nian Junting murmured.


    Luosang quietly nced at him. Youre justing to realize that now? She thought, If I were Nian Xi, Id fight him, too. Seriously, its not like he cant have female friends, but how can he neglect his girlfriends feelings because of a female friend?


    The next day, Nian Junting returned to hispany after driving Luosang to school. When he stepped into his office, he saw a box on his desk. He opened it and found a blue tie with polka dotsying in it. There was a note under the tieI want to tie you up with me, forever.


    He paused for a second, then wore a sweet smile. Was this a surprise from Luosang? She always likes to tie me up. A scarf is apparently not enough, so now shes given me a tie, he thought. He rarely wore a tie, but for her, he was willing to wear one. He put on the tie, then looked at himself in the screen of his phone. He looked nice. His woman did have great taste.


    As he prepared to call Luosang, Lu Kang walked in and asked to talk to him.


    Whats it about? Nian Junting put down the phone.


    Its about Yi Group, Lu Kang smiled. Last year, the few films and TV series that they invested in didnt pass censorship. At the end ofst year, they fell into a cash flow dilemma. Yi Jingxis now less well-known than before. Currently, many people want to cut ties with them. Their artists have left them one after another, and some of their shareholders have started to sell stocks. He bought all those stocks back, though.


    Hes still struggling. Nian Junting sneered.


    Of course. He has such a huge movie and television base, after all. Lu Kang continued, However, as far as I know, those shareholders who invested in the movie and television base already want to sell their stocks.


    Talk to them. We have to get their stocks, Nian Junting ordered. Once he loses control of the movie and television base, destroying Yi Group will be easy. Besides, hes been running the movie and television base pretty well these past few years. Its gonna be a cash cow in the future.

 Chapter 550. Leng Shuangwei, I Think You Should See a Shrink

    Chapter 550. Leng Shuangwei, I Think You Should See a Shrink


    Lu Kang chucked. Last year, Yi Jingxi asked you to invest in that project, and you refused. But now, after all that has happened, it seems to have fallen back into your hands.


    Let him know what it feels like when someone takes things out of his hands. Doesnt he like taking things away from other people the most? Nian Juntings eyes showed an obvious dislike. He had met many people, but none of them was as disgusting as Yi Jingxi.


    Mr. Nian, Mr. Chen is here, someone called over thepanys inte.


    Nian Junting stood up and headed to the reception room to see Mr. Chen.


    At five oclock in the afternoon, Lu Kang came in and said, Mr. Nian, Miss Leng asked to see you downstairs.


    Nian Junting stopped typing, frowned for a second, and then said, Im not gonna see her. Tell her to go away.


    Lu Kang nodded.


    At half-past five, Nian Junitng left thepany. On his way to his car, he found Leng Shuangwei leaning against his car. Her tall, slim, and perfectly shaped body matched the off-road car perfectly, as if she were the owner of that car.


    Nian Juntings face darkened slightly. He walked over, saying, Why didnt you leave?


    I was waiting for you. Leng Shuangweis eyes fell on his tie. Junting, I know that you care about me. You talked to me coldly, but youre wearing the tie that I gave you.


    Nian Junting felt extremely ufortable. He pointed at the tie and asked, This is from you?


    Stop pretending. Its impossible that you didnt know. Leng Shuangwei looked at him in a gentle way.


    Nian Junting immediately took off the tie and threw it at her. Then, he walked to the drivers seat without taking a single nce at her. Leng Shuangwei immediately got into the front seat.


    Leng Shuangwei, get out of the car. Nian Junting pointed outside and said angrily, I didnt even me you for what you did to Luosangst time.


    Ive been waiting for you to me me, but you never came. Leng Shuangwei looked at him with aplicated expression, arms crossed before her chest.


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say. He knew her well enough, and that was why he hadnt gone to her to ask for exnations.


    From the time he was little, he had no idea how to deal with this thick woman. He took a deep breath. The look in his eyes turned cold again as he said, Shuangwei, I wont even want to see you again if you keep doing all this.


    So you want to see me now. Leng Shuangwei startedughing. Junting, I know that weve broken up. But from now on, Im going to start pursuing you again.


    I already have a girlfriend. Youre trying to get between my girlfriend and I. Shuangwei, how can you do something like that? Youre a soldier, said Nian Junting impatiently.


    Doesnt a soldier have the right to pursue the person she likes? Besides, Im pursuing you fairly, like I did before. Leng Shuangwei wore a slightly sad look.


    Back then, we were young, I didnt have a girlfriend, and our families were close. It was also because weve known each other since we were little. Nian Junitng frowned deeply.


    Alright, lets talk about your girlfriend. Leng Shuangwei paused for a second, then continued, Youre with her because of your illness. When I saw her the first time, I knew that shes not your type. Shes too weak. You said that you like steely strong women, like me. But after all, men have needs. Junting, havent you thought about seeing a good shrink? I know one in the army.


    I dont need you to find me a shrink. Cant I find one myself if I need one? Im perfectly healthy. Leng Shuangwei, I think you should see a shrink. Nian Junting pointed at his own head and said, Yes, I liked steely strong women before, and thats because I hadnt met Luosang. Now, I only like her. You stay away from me.

 Chapter 551. Because Usually, You Dont Get Presents from Women

    Chapter 551. Because Usually, You Don''t Get Presents from Women


    Leng Shuangwei shook her head and said, I dont believe it. From the year we broke up untilst year, you never had a girlfriend. But when you met Xu Luosang, you started a rtionship with her. Is she breathtakingly beautiful? Is she the prettiest woman in the world? There were prettier and more outstanding girls around you, but you didnt choose them. You chose her. How can I believe that its because you like her?


    I dont care if you believe it or not. Get out of the car. Nian Junting felt so annoyed. He walked directly to the door of the front seat to drag her out of the car. Meanwhile, he warned her, If you keep talking, I will give up this car.


    Leng Shuangwei didnt move but continued, I didnt n to follow you today. Im only here to tell you that Im going to pursue you like I did before. Ill let you know that the resonance between two hearts is more important than the physical harmony.


    Who has resonance with you? Why cant you understand a word I said? Im done talking to you. Nian Junting got into the car and drove away.


    While driving, he called Lu Kang. Which brainless man put that tie on my desk this morning?


    Lu Kang was puzzled. Wasnt that a gift from Miss Xu?


    Nian Junting sneered and responded, Which part of it looks like a gift from Luosang? There wasnt a name on it. Its from Leng Shuangwei.


    So its a gift from Miss Leng. Lu Kang hurriedly apologized. Im sorry, Mr. Nian. I thought it was a gift from Miss Xu, because usually, you dont get gifts from women. After all, you only started to receive gifts since you and Miss Xu started dating. Not to mention the fact that a note like that was ced under the tie.


    Nian Junting was so angry. What do you mean by usually I dont get gifts from women? Dont I get gifts from the women who are in secret love with me every single month? Havent those girls in the secretary room been keeping those gifts away from me?


    Lu Kang cleared his throat and said, There really are no gifts I guess, those women dont dare to send you any gifts, as theyre aware that youre too good for them.


    Anyway, from now on, you can only bring a gift to me after youve confirmed that its from Luosang. And about Leng Shuangwei, go and tell the security people in the parking lot not to let any strangers in. After saying that, Nian Junting ended the call grumpily.


    Thinking about what Leng Shuagnwei had said, he couldnt help but feel chilly in his heart. Before, that woman really had seized any opportunity when pursuing him. Back then, he was young and inexperienced, so he was easily touched. He was hoping that she would be less aggressive after all these years, but clearly, that hadnt happened.


    The next day, when he was having a meeting in the conference room, a series of giant pink balloons was sent into the sky. Hanging below the balloons was an enormous banner which read, Nian Junting, I Love You. Nian Junting was shocked so badly that he even spit out the water in his mouth as he was drinking.


    The day after that, the LED disy screen on the building in front of hispany was upied by the words, Ting, I Love You. In the following few days, all sorts of strange things happened.


    At night on the sixth day, in Luosangs apartment, therge bed was shaking quickly. Luosangs body was covered in a thinyer of sweat. She held the man underneath her tightly as he was making some intense movements. After finishing, he sat up to carry her and said, Let me get you a shower.


    No need, I have some strength left today. Luosang shyly wrapped herself up with a nket. Every time after sex, her cheeks were colored with this charming scarlet.


    Alright. Nian Junting nodded. But we still need to do it together. While speaking, he lifted Luosang and headed toward the bathroom.


    He didnt like this apartment, as it was too small. However, the vi was too far away from Luosangs school. He wanted to see her every day, so he came there that day, as Yan Su wasnting home that night.

 Chapter 552. He Didnt Know When She Arrived

    Chapter 552. He Didn''t Know When She Arrived


    When the hot water fell onto her body, Luosang asked him, What happened to you today? Are you tired?


    Nian Junting looked at her, confused.


    Luosang moved her lips slightly, but didnt say another word. A short whileter, she blushed and continued, Normally, youll take at least an hour to finish, but today, you did it in just about twenty minutes.


    Yeah? You think that was too quick? Lets do it again, then. Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and again put his arms around her body. In the flowing water, their bodies pressed tightly together.


    Im serious. Have you been working too hard these days? Luosang raised a hand and gently stroked his handsome eyebrows as she said, Ive only seen you a few times these past few days, and every time I felt that you had something on your mind.


    I guess its because theres lots of work to do in thepany recently, Nian Junting exined, avoiding eye contact. He didnt want Luosang to worry and be ufortable because of Leng Shuangwei again. If thetter kept doing what she had been doing, he would have no choice but to talk to her supervisor.


    Luosang gazed into his eyes with suspicion but didnt say anything.


    The next day, Nian Junting sat on his leather chair, resting his head on his palm. Qiao Xue carefully poured him a cup of coffee. She opened her mouth a few times but didnt say anything. Atst, she couldnt help but let out the words, Mr. Nian, everyone in thepany is talking about you being crazily pursued by a woman.


    Nian Juntings lips twitched slightly. He felt that he was being hunted by a female psychopath.


    Qiao Xue gathered her courage and suggested, I think you need to solve this problem as soon as possible. If Miss Xu knew about this, she would certainly be unhappy.


    Nian Junting nodded. Soon after that, he realized what he just heard. Youre only here to serve me coffee. Who gave you the guts toe to me and gossip? he said with a grim voice.


    Lu Kang heard him and walked into the office hurriedly. He said to Qiao Xue, Qiao Xue, get out.


    As Qiao Xue left, Lu Kang said, Mr. Nian, that girl is frank and outspoken. Dont me her.


    What on earth did she offer you to make you protect her like this? Nian Junting crossed his arms. Were you her backdoor into thispany?


    Lu Kang took fright. Mr. Nian, he said, I didnt even know her before. How could I possibly be her backdoor? Did she even have a backdoor?


    How am I supposed to know? I just guessed so, said Nian Junting expressionlessly.


    Lu Kang burst into roaringughter in his head. Please dont make judgements based on your guesses!


    Eh Mr. Nian, Miss Leng is on the square downstairs again.


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a few minutes. Ill go down there and talk to her. A couple of secondster, he stood up and went downstairs.


    Seeing hime out of the building, Leng Shuangwei quickly walked to him, saying, Junting, Im finally seeing you again. Youre touched, arent you?


    Shuangwei, this is not our school or the yard of the ce where we lived. What you did has already affected my work, do you understand? Nian Junting said with a serious look. I used to feel that youre a nice person. But howe youve be like this? You are terribly narcissistic. If you keep doing all these things, Ill have no choice but to talk to your supervisor. All those years youve spent in the army werent easy. Please dont destroy yourself.


    Are you worrying about me? Leng Shuangweiughed.


    Nian Junting was honestly speechless. How could such a narcissistic and weirdly imaginative person exist in the world?


    Junting, what are you two doing? All of a sudden, Luosangs voice was heard.


    Nian Juntings whole body tightened. He turned to find that Luosang was standing there. He didnt even know when she had arrived.

 Chapter 553. Then Ill Show You How Much We Love Each Other

    Chapter 553. Then I''ll Show You How Much We Love Each Other


    Today, Luosang was wearing a knitted midi with matching colors. A dress like that was a giant challenge for a womans body shape and vibe. It emphasized Luosangs slim waist and slender neck. The people who saw her were all shocked by how stunning she looked.


    Nian Junting looked at her, then couldnt help but give Leng Shuangwei a nce. He hadnt noticed it before, but now he felt that the vibe Leng Shuangwei was giving out was too sharp.


    Hello, Miss Xu, Im pursuing Junting, Leng Shuagnwei answered the question for Nian Junting.


    Luosangs eyes popped in shock. She saw the calm look on Leng Shuangweis pretty face. She had never met another woman who could make herself sound so reasonable when trying to steal someone elses boyfriend.


    Luo, dont misunderstand this. Im trying to exin to her and tell her not toe see me again. Nian Junting exined hurriedly, as Luosangs face was turning sour. He believed that his girlfriend was envious. Before, her jealousy would have made him happy, butst time, she ran away when she got jealous. He could still feel that lingering fear.


    Again? Luosang grasped the key word. So, she came here more than once?


    Nian Junting didnt know how to respond. He was surprised by how quickly his woman thought. As Nian Junting stayed silent, Leng Shuangwei took the opportunity to respond. Of course. You cant get someone you want with just one action. I surely need toe here every day.


    Shes insane. Ignore her, said Nian Junting with a deep voice. He believed that Luosang was a capable person, but doubted whether she was a match for a shameless woman like Leng Shuangwei.


    How can I ignore her? Shes trying to steal you from me. Luosang walked straight to Leng Shuangwei and stood in front of her. She was shorter than Leng Shuangwei but felt no pressure at all. She knew that Nian Junting loved her. Luosang started the conversation. Miss Leng, dont you need to go to work now?


    I asked for time off. Leng Shuangwei lowered her head to gaze at Luosangs delicate face. She admitted that Luosang was pretty but also believed that Nian Junting would not like a little girl like this. Miss Xu, do you remember what I said to youst time? she asked.


    Yeah, so I need to thank you. Because of you, the rtionship between Junting and me hase to a new level. Luosang smiled and put one arm around Nian Junting.


    Leng Shuangwei smiled as well. Miss Xu, it seems that youre still wrongheaded. Its alright though, letspete fairly.


    This isnt a fairpetition. Youre trying to steal my boyfriend, said Luosang straightforwardly. Also, do I need topete with you? Junting is my man. As his girlfriend, I hate that you always show up around him. Please do note here again. If you do, Ill have no choice but to ask Ms. Murong toe here.


    Finally, Leng Shuangweis expression changed a little. She stayed silent for a short while, then abruptlyughed. Does this bother you so badly? Is this because you know that in Juntings heart, Im different, and that Im a threat to you?


    I think you misunderstood me. Luosang smiled withposure. Before New Years, I was gone for nearly twenty days. During that time, you had opportunities to win him back every single day. However, did you seed? Youd have no chance even if I gave you two extra years. Im standing here talking to you, because I think youre disturbing Juntings work. Look, so many people are watching.


    Leng Shuangwei looked around to find that many Shengting employees hade out of their offices to see what was happening. Some people who were upstairs even opened the windows to look down.


    Arent you leaving? Then Ill show you how much we love each other. Nian Junting had been about to berate his employees when Luosang suddenly dragged him over and stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips.

 Chapter 554. Who the Hell is She?

    Chapter 554. Who the Hell is She?


    Nian Juntings eyes popped in shock. His woman used to be so extremely sensitive. She was even shy about kissing in public, but now she had actually kissed him in front of so many people. She even boldly stuck her tongue into his mouth to tantalize him.


    His Sangsang had be possessive. He liked it, though. The more possessive she was, the more it proved that she cared about him. Nian Junting couldnt resist the temptation and immediately kissed her back.


    Looking at the two of them kissing each other so hard, Leng Shuangwei even started shaking with anger. The man whom she loved the most was kissing another woman so deeply and passionately right in front of her. She couldnt help it; her eyes turned red.


    Finished kissing, Luosang put her arms around Nian Juntings neck, looked him in the eyes, and asked him, Do you love me?


    I do. Nian Junting pressed his lips together. He hadnt had enough kissing yet.


    What about her? Luosang nced defiantly at Leng Shuangwei.


    Nian Junting didnt even look at Leng Shuangwei but responded, Who the hell is she?


    Leng Shuangwei trembled with rage. Youre only luring him with your body.


    You can do the same to him if youre able to. Luosang sneered. Miss Leng, when two people are in love, they will instinctively want to touch and fulfill each other. Do you understand that feeling? I really cant talk it through with you. I guess I have no choice but to call my future mother-inw.


    After saying that, she took out her phone. Ms. Murong, this is Sangsang So, recently a woman named Leng Shuangwei has always beening to Juntingspany to see him. Shes ruining our rtionship Before she finished her speech, she saw Leng Shuangwei turn and leave helplessly.


    Thankfully, shes too ashamed to face your mom. Luosang put down her phone.


    Nian Junting noticed that her phones screen was ck. Didnt you actually call? he asked.


    No, I only wanted to scare her away. Luosang chuckled. Your mom would be so annoyed if she knew about this.


    Luo, youre so smart. Nian Junting hurriedly put an arm around her waist and praised her.


    Luosang pulled his hand away, gave him a threatening nce, and said, If I hadnte here today, I wouldnt know that your first girlfriend is pursuing you. Mr. Nian, youve been keeping this very secret from me.


    I was worried that you might be unhappy. Nian Junting looked sullen. And that woman is so dense and narcissistic. I just couldnt talk any sense into her. I honestly dont understand how such a person can exist in the world.


    Luosang blinked, looked at him, and replied, She sounds like you. They were both dense, weirdly narcissistic, and imaginative. People could barely talk sense into them. Luosang seemed to finally understand why Nian Junting and Leng Shuangwei had been together. They were exactly the same kind of people. If they had gotten married and had children, how horrible would their childrens influence be on society?


    Me? Nian Junting sneered. Please dontpare me to her. Im a reasonable person.


    Indeed, they also bothck self-knowledge, Luosang thought. Luosang sighed slightly and said, So the perfect woman in your heart turns out to be like that.


    Nian Junting didnt respond. Was Luosang angry? He should talk less when she got angry, shouldnt he? Nian Xi said sost time.


    Why dont you say something? Do you disagree with me? Luosang looked him in the eyes.


    I agree with you. Nian Junting nodded, then changed the topic. Why are you here today?

 Chapter 555. Are You Being Mean to Them Because You Feel Guilty?

    Chapter 555. Are You Being Mean to Them Because You Feel Guilty?


    Yesterday, you acted weird. You said that you have lots of work to do. I worried that you might be overloaded, so I came here to check on you. However, it turned out that you werent busy with work. Luosang pinched his arm grumpily.


    Nian Junting didntin about the pain. On the contrary, he smiled as he put his arms around her and said, Luo, you care about me so much. If I had known that you were so good at fighting your rival in love, Id have invited you here long ago.


    I remember that you didnt need me to deal with these kinds of problems before, said Luosang sourly. Back in Shanghai, Yi Jingxi was so pissed off because of what you said. Howe youre not willing to do the same to your first girlfriend? Where are your mean words? Normal people cant survive your talking, can they?


    Nian Junting paused for a second, then hurriedly exined, Its because Leng Shuangwei isnt a normal person. As you just saw, shes extremely thick


    Its not because shes thick. Its because youre softhearted. Luosang poked his chest hard and said, Shes in a high position now, but she came here to see you every day. You have every reason to sue her for harassment, but you didnt, because you didnt want to affect her career. Youre softhearted.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting stayed silent for a short while, then responded, Being a soldier is difficult. She earned her career by serving as a solider for ten years. If I sued her, her future career might be influenced. Ive been giving her chances over the past few days. Today is thest day. I came down here to talk to her today because I wanted to tell her that if she refuses to leave, Ill tell her superior about all this.


    Luosang understood. In fact, when she had first met him, she thought that he was a cold and bad-tempered person. As she spent some time with him, she found that he was actually softhearted, even though he always said mean words to his friends and family.


    Leng Shuangwei was not like Yi Jingxi. She was straightforward, not scheming, even though she could be quite clingy sometimes. Unlike her, Yi Jingxi would y all sorts of dirty tricks.


    Junting, I like the way you were before. You were mean to any woman who had inappropriate feelings towards you. Luosang put her arms around his neck. She admitted that she was getting more and more sensitive. She did not want Nian Junting to have anything to do with Leng Shuangwei.


    You are so possessive, but I like you being possessive, and I like the way you kissed me just now. Ill do whatever you say. Nian Junting held her hand and walked upstairs. As they walked through the door, his employees who had been watching the show all swiftly darted back into their offices.


    It seems that all your employees have now learned about you and Miss Leng, Luosang teased him.


    Yeah, and they saw you kiss me bossily. Nian Junting gave a faint smile.


    Luosang nced him shyly. She had been hot-headed just now. It was also because Leng Shuangwei made her so angryst time, and she still had not gotten over it.


    They took the elevator to the CEOs floor. As they came out of the elevator, they heard Qiao Xues voice from the pantry nearby. What do you think Miss Leng will do tomorrow? She has sent up giant balloons and announced her love on a huge screen. Will she take a helicopter and shout, I love you in the sky tomorrow? she said to the group of secretaries.


    Nian Junting immediately pulled a long face. Qiao Xue, is the CEOs office toofortable for you? Is that why youre gossiping during work hours? he yelled with a deep and cold voice.


    Qiao Xue and those secretaries all paled with fear. Mr. Nian, Im, Im sorry, Ill never do it again. Qiao Xue hurriedly covered her trembling lips.


    You dont have enough work to do. Youll surely gossip when you dont have any work to do, Nian Junting said.


    Whichpany has no gossips? Luosang turned to him and said, Are you being mean to them because you feel guilty?

 Chapter 556. He Had Fallen in Love with Her Earlier Than He Thought

    Chapter 556. He Had Fallen in Love with Her Earlier Than He Thought


    Thats a joke. Why would I be guilty? Ive done nothing wrong. Nian Junting puffed out his chest.


    Yeah, Miss Xu. Even though that Miss Leng pursued Mr. Nian in public, Mr. Nian never went out to see her. He was angry in his office every day, calling her psycho, Qiao Xue hurriedly agreed.


    Shes right. That Miss Leng has really made Mr. Nian feel annoyed, the other secretaries added. Mr. Nian even forbade her from setting foot in thepany and the parking lot.


    Hearing their words, Nian Junting finally gave them a satisfied nce. He now believed that he had hired those secretaries for good reason.


    You dont need to exin for him. Your boss is so perfect, its a normal thing for him to have suitors. Im just jealous of him. No one ever pursued me with balloons and big LED screens, Luosang teased.


    If you like balloons, Ill get you balloons tomorrow. Nian Junting hurriedly guided her into the office. He closed the door, held Luosang, and said to her, Luo, youre not angry again, are you?


    Im not. I even admire Leng Shuangwei a little. How on earth did she manage to make this boyfriend-stealing thing so shocking? Luosangughed. You said that she pursued you before. She didnt get you by doing all those things, did she?


    The symbolic proudness now froze on Nian Juntings face. Luosang was a little speechless as well. It seemed that she had guessed correctly. So this is what you like, she said.


    Not exactly. When we were in school, she pursued me with this passion. I was young and naive, so I was a little touched. Later on, we gradually got together. It has been so many years, but she thinks that were still like before. Nian Junting rubbed his forehead. Now I have you. Her behavior really annoyed me. Please stop mentioning her to me. Shes been torturing metely.


    Luosang chuckled. Nian Junting had always been a narcissistic person, and now he had met his opponent. Keep working. Ill stay here with you. Luosang pushed him.


    Nian Junting nodded. Only after solving the Leng Shuangwei crisis did he have the mood to concentrate on work. In the next couple of hours, he sat in his office reading files about investment ns. He also checked the stock market from time to time. Luosang sat beside him, eating fruit. asionally, she would put a peeled grape in his mouth.


    Nian Junting finished a page, then turned to look at Luosang. Sunlight poured in through the window onto the tips of her hair. She lowered her head, looking at her phone while biting the orange in her hand. Her nose was small and delicate, and her eyshes pped like a pair of mini hand fans.


    Nian Junting had never felt so peaceful. This was exactly like how she had apanied him before when she was his caregiver. Back then, she lied about her age and made herself not pretty. For those reasons, he failed to notice the sprouting feelings for her in his heart.


    At that very moment, Nian Junting realized that he had fallen in love with her earlier than he thought. Luo


    Hm? Luosang raised her head with a piece of orange in her mouth. Her face bumped into Nian Juntings lips.


    Their breath mixed together. Nian Junting said in a husky voice, Earlier, you told Leng Shuangwei that when two people are in love, they will instinctively want to touch and fulfill each other. Is that true?


    Eh-hem. Luosang choked on the orange, and her pretty face immediately turned red.


    So you have craved me as well. Nian Junting suddenly reached out his hands, lifted Luosang, and put her on his desk.


    Luosang bit her lip, then said, Im sitting on your files.


    Its alright. Nian Junting rubbed his lips against hers, smelling the scent of orange. Luo, I want to fulfill you right now.

 Chapter 557. I Heard a Mans Voice Just Now

    Chapter 557. I Heard a Man''s Voice Just Now


    St <em>o </em>p, were in your office. Luosang pushed his chest.


    Nian Junting ignored her. No matter what she said, he refused to stop kissing her lips. His hands were busy, too. They were quickly looking for a way into her clothes. However, those hands searched for a while but failed to find an entrance. Atst, he finally found an entrance around her lower legs, but then his hands got stuck near her thighs. He tried but couldnt move his hands further upward.


    Seeing the anxious look on his face, Luosang burst out inughter.


    Yeah,ugh. Nian Juntings eyes wore an upset look but were also filled with lust. As he prepared to tear her clothes to pieces, Luosangs phone rang on the chair.


    Let me answer this call, she attempted to get off the desk.


    Its just a call. Is it more important than me? Nian Junting didnt let her. At this time, the private part of his body had been giving him a very ufortable feeling. His entire body was ready for sex.


    Its really important. The voice-acting director that I worked with in Shanghai wants to do a new show with me. We were talking via WeChat just now. I guess hes calling me now as I didnt reply his messages. Luosang pushed Nian Junting away and answered the call.


    Luosang, I just talked to the producer. Well have dinner at Hung House tonight and talk about the script, said Feng Cheng, the voice-acting director.


    Sure, Luosang responded. Next, she ended the call and raised her head to find Nian Junting staring at her in discontent. Arent you gonna have dinner with me tonight? he asked.


    I had dinner with youst night. Luosang looked down and began tidying her clothes.


    No, Im going with you. I heard a mans voice just now, said Nian Junting expressionlessly. Youre only going to talk about a script, but why will you do it in a fancy ce like Hun House? I think that man is up to something else.


    Its because the director is paying for it. The crew is rich, and theyll pay for dinner. Luosang showed Feng Chengs WeChat Moments to Nian Junting. This is what the voice-acting director looks like. Are you sure that you want to be jealous of him?


    Nian Junting nced at her phone. The man on the screen was wearing a pair of sses and was neither handsome nor ugly. Nian Junting believed that that average-looking man was not even as good as one of his a legs and surely not as charismatic as Chi Shengxu. He was immediately relieved.


    Its not that I dont want you to go. Youre not an ordinary man, so Im afraid that you might make others feel stressed, said Luosang.


    Thats true. But I only want to know about my girlfriends work. That is not wrong, is it? asked Nian Junting with concern.


    Luosang hesitated for a short while, then nodded. It was reasonable for a couple to get to know about each others work.


    At half-past six, Nian Junting parked his car in Hun Houses parking lot. Luosang unfastened her seatbelt, saying, Later, whatever you hear, dont be surprised and dont say anything. Also, you cant tell anyone about the content of our conversation.


    Nian Junting was so confused. Do you have to make it sound like a centralmittee meeting?


    Every industry has its own secrets. You dont understand now, but you willter, said Luosang.


    They walked into a VIP room on the third floor. Feng Cheng was already there. He politely shook Nian Juntings hand and said, Mr. Nian, Id have booked a luxury room if I had known that youd be here. Feng Cheng had known about the rtionship between Luosang and Nian Junting. Earlier in Shanghai, Nian Juntings assistant had called him every day to ask about Luosang, but he never told Luosang about that.


    Its alright. Im here to keep my girlfriendpany today. You should ignore me and talk about whatever you want to. Also, you dont have to introduce me to the directorter. Just act natural.


    How dare we ignore you? Feng Cheng thought.

 Chapter 558. It Was Zhong Yi Who Had Disappeared for a While

    Chapter 558. It Was Zhong Yi Who Had Disappeared for a While


    To avoid unexpected problems, Feng Cheng hurriedly walked out and called Director Tang, who was on his way there. He told Director Tang about who Nian Junting was and asked him to be polite to him. After all, many directors didnt like irrelevant people to be around during the discussion about scripts.


    Six or seven minutester, Director Tang arrived, respectfully greeted Nian Junting, and shook hands with him.


    You guys do the talking. Ill be eating. Nian Junting waved a hand. Hire my girlfriend if shes qualified, but you dont need to hire her for me. Ever since he had found out who Luosang really was, he never worried about her ability.


    Director Tang took out his phone, handed it to Luosang, and said, This is some early footage. Take a look.


    Luosang yed the video. The story took ce in the Spring and Autumn period. On the screen, the leading actor and actress were sitting under the moonlight, surrounded by blossoms.


    Confucius said, h h, one, two three four five, said the leading actor with a clear and loud voice.


    The leading actress responded, Gongxu, four five, two, three, six two one, Ill always be waiting for you.


    Luosang had seen such things before. As Director Tang had cautiously invited both her and Feng Cheng here, she had guessed some of it.


    Unlike her, Nian Junting was stunned. So this is what TV series are originally like?


    Of course not. This is a special case. Director Tang hurriedly waved a hand and said awkwardly, I dont really like this leading actress, but shes popr. She brings audiences, and audiences mean everything now. For the audience rating, I had no choice. Shes paid by the day, and her schedule is always full. It would take longer if we asked her to memorize her lines, so with no other choice, we can only put more effort into the voice acting. As for the leading actor, ssic of Poetry was just too hard for him to memorize.


    Nian Junting frowned. He rarely paid attention to the film and television industry, so he had no idea that the atmosphere had be like that.


    Feng Cheng and Luosang nced at each other. After that, the former said, Director Tang, the leading actor and actress didnt memorize the most of their lines, which means we basically need to study all the lines all over again


    I understand, and the leading actress isnt good at acting, either. I hope you can rebuild her voice. He looked at Nian Junting and continued, Thats why I eventually decided to let Luosang do her voice. Shes a capable one, after all, and she doesnt charge much. How about this, we offer four hundred and eighty yuan per episode for the main female characters voice. She can also do other characters if she likes, but the price cant be as high. Its two hundred per episode for other characters.


    What? Four hundred and eighty yuan per episode? Nian Junting couldnt help but exim out loud. Under the table, Luosang hurriedly kicked his foot. Nian Junting pressed his lips together, but still, he murmured, Its really cheap.


    Director Tang wore an embarrassed look, saying, Mr. Nian, youre rich. Its surely small money for you, but in the voice acting circle, four hundred and eighty yuan per episode is already not bad. Miss Xu is not yet an especially popr voice actress, after all. Also, I really cant afford a higher price. Weve spent too much money on the early stage, so our funding for post-production is limited.


    Director Tang, Im good with the price. Luosangughed.


    Nian Juntings expression turned extremelyplicated.


    Next, Feng Cheng, Luosang, and Director Tang started talking about the emotions and tones and other features of the main characters in the TV series. The dinnersted until eight oclock. Nian Junting went to the bathroom twice.


    When dinner was finally over, the four of them came out of the VIP room together. At that time, two people came out of the room across the hall, a fat middle-aged man and a woman in his arms who was wearing heavy makeup. That woman was none other than Zhong Yi, who had previously disappeared for a while.

 Chapter 559. Yi Jingxi Tried to Bring Her Down Crazily

    Chapter 559. Yi Jingxi Tried to Bring Her Down Crazily


    Luosang paused briefly. Zhong Yi, who wasughing sweetly in that mans arms, turned her head slightly and saw Luosang. She hurriedly covered her face with her purse, and the look on her face changed.


    Ah, Mr. Nian, its been so long. Xia City is a huge city, yet weve stille across each other! The eyes of the man whose arms were around Zhong Yi glowed when he spotted Nian Junting. He shambled toward Nian Junting to shake his hand eagerly.


    Hi, Mr. Miao, Nian Junting responded ndly.


    Luosang turned to look at Zhong Yi. It had only been less than two months since they hadst seen each other back in An City, but she almost failed to recognize her. Now, Zhong Yis lips were terribly red, and her face looked sallow and thin. She blinked quickly without daring to look at Luosang.


    Why are you hiding your face? Get over here to greet Mr. Nian! Mr. Miao pped her head, as she wasnt looking at Nian Junting.


    Good to see you, Mr. Nian. Zhong Yi bit her lip and endured the embarrassment toe over and greet Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting looked at her and said, You look familiar.


    Shes Zhong Yi. She used to be a popr star. Mr. Miaoughed. Now shes mine.


    Hearing that, Zhong Yi lowered her head further and clenched her fists.


    Nian Junting was surprised. He had seen Zhong Yi before. She had stolen Yi Jingxi from Luosang and put Luosang in a miserable situation. Earlier on, Luosang punished Zhong Yi by herself. He hadnt really paid attention to Zhong Yis appearance at the time, so if Mr. Miao hadnt mentioned her name, he wouldnt have been able to recognize her. She had changed drastically. Before, she was rather pretty, but now, she looked like a meretricious prostitute.


    Mr. Nian, are you here to have dinner with your girlfriend? Your girlfriend is so pretty. Shes clearly a youngdy from a respectable family, said Mr. Miao.


    Shes Xu Luosang. There were rumors about her all over the city earlier, Zhong Yi couldnt help but say in a low voice.


    Nian Juntings expression changed slightly. Mr. Miao, your woman is quite talkative.


    Yes, she is. Ill give her a lesson for you. Mr. Miao turned back and pped Zhong Yi in the face. Zhong Yi fell directly to the ground, and a few drops of blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.


    Luosang frowned when looking at her. She hated Zhong Yis so much, but now she actually felt pity for her, so she couldnt help but take a step forward to help her up. However, Zhong Yi pped her arm away, saying, Go away! Stop pretending. Youre the reason why I became like this.


    How dare you yell at Mr. Nians girlfriend! Mr. Miao turned around and kicked Zhong Yi. At that moment, no other sounds but a womans cries could be heard in the hallways.


    Nian Junting wasntfortable with that. He knitted his brows and said, Enough. How can a man hit a woman?


    Alright, as Mr. Nian interceded for you, Ill let you get away with this easily, Mr. Miao straightened his suit while talking.


    Junting, lets go. Luosang couldnt bear watching that, so she held Nian Juntings hand and headed downstairs.


    Feng Cheng followed behind them, saying, Im surprised that Zhong Yi has be like this. Last year when we saw her, she didnt even bother to look at us. She used to be a voice actor, too. Ah, now shes be like this.


    Mr. Tang responded, I think she deserves it. She never respected us directors when she was popr, because she had Yi Jingxis support. She charged the most but worked the least. And she was alwayste. If the Yi Group hadnt been interfering, these things would have spread long ago. Last year, she parted ways with the Yi Group, and since then, Yi Jingxi has been trying to bring her down crazily. I heard that shes even using drugs now.

 Chapter 560. Youre So Cheap

    Chapter 560. You''re So Cheap


    Luosang stopped walking and asked, She uses drugs?


    Eh It hasnt been proved yet. I just heard about it but dont know if its true, said Director Tang. But I can tell that she has lost some serious weight.


    Luosang nodded. Zhong Yi looked awful, indeed. Back when they were in school, Zhong Yis appearance was considered better than average, even though she wasnt as pretty as Luosang.


    After her scandals were exposed, those advertisingpanies all came to her and asked for penalties. She paid out tens of millions. I guess she doesnt have much money left now. Ah, you can never guess the end of a story in the entertainment industry. Director Tang shook his head, then said goodbye to Nian Junting and left.


    On the way back to the vi, Luosang stayed silent the whole time. Nian Junting turned down the music and started a conversation. Are you thinking about Zhong Yi?


    Yeah. Luosang rested a hand on the window. The wind ruffled her hair. I used to be good friends with Zhong Yi. She is definitely not a decent person, but seeing her like that, I just dont know how to describe my feelings.


    If you ask me, Id say that she deserves what she got. Nian Junting said ndly, People can make serious money in the entertainment industry. But still, so many other people who are paid thousands per month are living peaceful lives. She worked in the entertainment industry for a couple of years. She should at least have some money left. However, she just refused to face reality. Instead, she hooked up with that Mr. Miao and tried to take a shortcut to sess. Some people are just like that. They climbed high, and theyll do whatever they can to stay there. Theyre just so afraid of falling back to the bottom.


    Luosang nodded, sighing. He was so right.


    Speaking of the entertainment industry, actors and actress do make big money. Compared to them, you dubbers are too cheap, arent you? Nian Junting recalled the price he had heard at dinner. Four hundred and eighty per episode? His face was filled with disbelief. You can only make twenty or thirty thousand after you do the whole series, and you must get all the emotions right. Its not easier than acting.


    Thats the normal price. Did you think my job could make a fortune? Luosang said.


    I thought you could at least earn hundreds of thousands from one TV series. Nian Junting gave her a nce and said, Youre so cheap.


    Hearing what he said, Luosang was upset. I dont only do the main female character. Ill also do other characters. Normally, Ill do three to five voices in a show. So in total, I can make sixty or seventy thousand in one show, and if I do ten shows a year, Ill make six or seven hundred thousand per year. In fact, thats already good enough for most people.


    Nian Junting shook his head and responded, Except for Nian Xi, you make the least amount of money among all the people I know.


    Luosang felt frustrated, so she responded impatiently, Im sorry for not making a lot of money.


    Its alright. Im rich, anyway. Im just wondering why you chose voice acting. In fact, youre capable enough to be a singer or an actress. Youd be making so much more than you are now.


    Im not doing it for money. I simply love voice acting. My grandma was a dubbing artist. Back in her time, a dubber could only make a hundred yuan from one movie. However, my grandma was proud of her job until the day she passed away. I am just like her. This industry needs voice acting. The film and television market is bing more and more international. Many people from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, even some foreignerse here to shoot movies and shows. Voice actors and actresses are needed. You dont understand. Every time a dubbed movie was on, I felt so proud when I heard the voices of the leading characters in it.


    Some actors can only do dozens of films in their lives, but we dubbers can do hundreds, even thousands of films. Our voices made countless characters more real. Im proud of what I do.


    Nian Junting listened to her speech. Her snow-white face was glowing, looking especially charming.

 Chapter 561. Im Going on Patrol Tonight. The Dinner is Simple…

    Chapter 561. I''m Going on Patrol Tonight. The Dinner is Simple��


    He suddenly felt that it had not been wrong toe here with her tonight. He had learned about her job and her dream. A woman should have her own dreams.


    Are you and Mr. Miao business partners? Luosang asked abruptly.


    No. Nian Junting shook his head. Hes my uncles partner. They are doing real estate together. Ive seen him a few times, but I dont know him well. I dont like him, and I dont think the real estate market has a future.


    Howe your uncle knows someone like that?


    They make use of each other, said Nian Junting. Hes the owner of the Bingyang Group.


    Luosang understood. The Bingyang Group had developed quite a few projects all over the country. No wonder Zhong Yi hadnt left him, even after suffering that kind of violence.


    Next, Luosang lowered her head to browse the WeChat Moments. Five minutes ago, Nian Xi had posted a new moment. It was a picture of a half-eaten boxed meal with a few simple wordsIm going on patrol tonight. The dinner is simple


    Did Nian Xi talk to you recently? Luosang was quite worried about her.


    She did yesterday. She asked if we have made up, Nian Junting replied.


    What about her and Ji Chuan?


    Not yet.


    Shes waiting for Ji Chuan, Luosang said. Youd know if you saw her newest WeChat Moment.


    As a red light was in front of him, Nian Junting took a nce at Nian Xis new post, then said, She said that shes on patrol. What does it have to do with her waiting for Ji Chuan?


    Did she ever post WeChat Moments about her simple meals before? But ever since she broke up with Ji Chuan, shes made simr posts every couple of days. Normally, a girl would only post something like this to get the attention of the person that she likes. A smart man, or a man who cares about his girl, should be sending her some scrumptious food as soon as he saw her post.


    Nian Junting was enlightened. I get it. I seemed to grow extra fond of posting WeChat Moments every time we had a fight. The EQ of my little sister is really as high as mine.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. Nian Xis EQ is way higher than yours, she thought. I guess she has all the EQ that you failed to grow back in your moms uterus.


    Lets send her some food, she suggested. Its still early anyway.


    Why? As you said, she clearly made the post for Ji Chuan. If he doesnt bring her any food, they should break up, Nian Junting responded.


    You understand it now because I just exined it to you. Feng Ji Chuan may not understand it, either. Luosang sighed. If he doesnt show up with some good food or doesnt even call her to ask her how shes been doing, Nian Xi will be really disappointed.


    Its not about if he understands or not. Nian Junting frowned. As your boyfriend, if I saw you eating poor food, Id be worried. I would send the best food to you as quickly as possible.


    Luosang immediately felt as sweet as honey. She smiled and said, Not every man cares about his girlfriend like our Mr. Nian does. Some people might say to their girlfriends that watching you eating this tiny portion of food makes me worry, but wouldnt take any actual action. The slightly better ones might send their girlfriends some money and tell them to buy some better food for themselves. The second kind of man is already considered nice.


    These men are so hypocritical, Nian Junting said disdainfully.


    Nian Xi liked barbecue, so Luosang and Nian Junting bought some. After that, they asked someone else about where she was patrolling and then drove that way. Nian Xi and two male police officers parked their vehicles in the busiest part of the city.


    Seeing Luosang and Nian Junting show up with food, Nian Xi was so touched that she was even about to cry. Sangsang, youre the best sister-inw in the world. Its been quite a while since I posted that, but only you brought food to me.

 Chapter 562. What He Had Been Holding in His Hands Seemed to Be Slipping Further and Further Away

    Chapter 562. What He Had Been Holding in His Hands Seemed to Be Slipping Further and Further Away


    Nian Junting reminded Nian Xi unhappily, I came here with her. Am I not a person?


    Youve never brought me any food. It must have been Sangsangs idea toe here, or maybe the sun rose in the west today, Nian Xi said while chewing barbecued mutton.


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say. He really hadnt nned to bring her any food. He thought of Ji Chuan. What about Ji Chuan? Isnt heing here?


    Nian Xi paused for a second, then lowered her eyes and responded, He sent me a message and a WeChat red packet, and told me to buy some food. I didnt reply to him.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and looked at Luosang. That had been one of Luosangs guesses. It was not bad, but as Nian Xis brother, he wasnt satisfied with it. He should have brought you some food himself, he said with discontent. Do you need that money? No. What you need is him bringing you food in person Before he finished, he felt someone kick him. He turned to Luosang and asked, Why did you kick me? My pants are dirty now.


    Luosang was speechless. Couldnt he tell that she was trying to stop him from saying that? Hearing those words would only make Nian Xi sadder.


    Nian Xi forced a smile and said, Alright. Its not important whether he came here or not. I didnt make the WeChat post just for him. I just wanted to express my feelings. Besides, I didnt even marry him. I think we have almost broken up.


    That is not true. The other day he came to my ce and asked me to talk to you. He wants to get back together with you. Nian Junting frowned even deeper. What on earth is Ji Chuan doing? He wants to win you back but is making no effort at all. Does he expect us to help him? I think maybe you should find someone else. You arent allowed to get back together with him.


    Well, its not like that, actually. Yesterday and the day before that, he came to pick me up after work and brought me flowers and choctes, Nian Xi hurriedly exined. Its just that I didnt forgive him. He might be busy today.


    Luosang put her arm around Nian Juntings and said, Alright, lets go home. We shouldnt disturb Nian Xis work. Shes on patrol.


    This is one important thing in your life. Think carefully about it, Nian Junting said to Nian Xi while Luosang dragged him away.


    Seeing their car drive away, Nian Xi gave a long sigh filled with disappointment. After she finished the barbecue, a male officer said to her, Wu Chang said that no one is on patrol near the bar street. Lets go over there and take a look.


    Alright, Nian Xi nodded. They drove the police car to a street that had bars on both sides. Nian Xi looked out the window and suddenly saw a very drunk Leng Shuangwei rush out of a bar and began vomiting to the side of a flower bed. Feng Ji Chuan was standing behind her, patting her back. Nian Xis eyes narrowed, and her heart twitched a little.


    When the car drove away, she hurriedly took out her phone and called Feng Ji Chuan.


    Xi


    Ji Chuan, where are you? she asked in a gentle voice.


    Feng Ji Chuan stood at the roadside and nced at Leng Shuangwei, who was still throwing up. He recalled that not long ago, Nian Xi had be unhappy because of Leng Shuangwei. He didnt want her to misunderstand, so after a short hesitation, he said, Im outside drinking with a few retired army friends.


    Im hungry. Can you bring me some food?


    Didnt I send you a WeChat red packet?


    I only want food that you buy for me.


    I cant do it now. How about tomorrow? Ill bring you breakfast tomorrow.


    Tomorrow Tomorrow Never mind.


    The call was ended.


    Seeing the words call ended on his phone, Ji Chuan somehow felt that what he had been holding in his hands was slipping further and further away.

 Chapter 563. He Squatted and Looked at Her Motionlessly

    Chapter 563. He Squatted and Looked at Her Motionlessly


    In the police car, Nian Xi leaned against the window. Her phone slowly dropped from next to her ear. Recently, Ji Chuan had gone to the police station to see her every single day. But today, he hadnt shown up because of Leng Shuangwei.


    Nian Xi wasnt an unreasonable person. Ji Chuan could have told her that Leng Shuangwei was drunk, and then he could have asked her toe to pick her up with him. After all, they were all friends. Why had he lied to her? She even offered him a chance to bring her some food, but he lied to her because of Leng Shuangwei.


    Friends in the army What friends in the army? She didnt consider herself an unreasonable person. She just could not stand the fact that in Feng Ji Chuans heart, she was never as important as a female friend of his. She wondered if her needs would always be the second most important thing to him in the future when Leng Shuangwei needed him.


    Even her brother who had terribly low EQ understood that what she needed was not money but to be cared about. There were many times he had been far away from her, so he could only tell her to drink some warm water when she caught a cold. And there were many times that she wanted to talk to him when she was sad and helpless, but the calls were unsessful. However, all that didnt bother her. She only needed him to love her wholeheartedly when he was with her. Nevertheless, he didnt even love her as much as he loved a friend of his.


    She remembered that Ji Chuan always praised Shuangwei when they were little. If Shuangwei hadnt liked her brother but had instead paid more attention to Ji Chuan, would she still have had a chance to be with him?


    Lets park right here. This ce has thergest flow of people, said the officer who was driving the car.


    Ill get out to breathe some fresh air. Nian Xi opened the door and got out of the car. She gazed at the stars in the sky. She could not cry. She could never cry in front of her colleagues. She could not cry in front of her family, either. However, the harder she tried to stop herself from crying out loud, the worse her heart ached, as if someone were hacking at it with a dull knife.


    Countless times, she imagined herself spending her whole life with Ji Chuan. She was a police officer, while he was a soldier. They would have so many kids, and they would love each other til the end of their lives.


    He robbed me! He took my money! Suddenly, a young girl who had juste out of a car burst out screaming.


    Nian Xi looked that way and saw a man in a ck jacket quickly dart into an alley nearby. He was holding a purse in his hands.


    She chased behind him swiftly. Freeze! She turned her sadness and anger into strength and used it to crazily chase that robber in the alley. She stepped into the puddles on the ground and made the water ssh everywhere. The robber was frightened. He clenched his teeth and ran as quickly as he could. As the distance between Nian Xi and the robber shortened to about ten meters, the robber suddenly turned onto the street at the front.


    Nian Xi followed and prepared to make the turn as well, but suddenly, a young man in a white coat walked into the alley from the other side. Nian Xi didnt manage to stop, and as a result, she and the young man bumped into each other.


    The young man staggered backward and fell to the ground. Nian Xi suffered even worse. Her nose and lips had bumped hard against that mans chest. A sharp pain immediately attacked her, invading her brain andsting for quite a while. As the pain finally started to fade, she struggled up, walked out of the alley, and took a look around. As she thought, the robber was long gone.


    She paused for a second, then squatted, buried her head between her knees, and gave way to tears. She couldnt hold it back anymore. No one that she knew was here. She could finally cry as loudly as she wanted, to give vent to the sadness that was overstocked in her heart. She had waited for him for such a long time. In the past moment, she decided to give up. It felt like cutting off a part of herself.


    It hurt; it hurt so much.


    The man she had knocked to the ground was momentarily dazed. He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and stood there for a short while. And then, he walked to her, squatted, and looked at her motionlessly. He didnt know what to do.


    Nian Xi didnt know how long she had cried. Only after she started feeling tired and her legs were even numb because of the squatting position did she wipe her tears with her sleeves and raise her head.

 Chapter 564. Have You Fallen in Love with Me?

    Chapter 564. Have You Fallen in Love with Me?


    Her face was suddenly inches away from another mans. She then fell on her rear end. What are you doing? She was shocked when she rubbed her eyes and saw the man clearly. Although the alley was dark, the moon above cast a dim glow on the mans face. His handsome features made the moon pale inparison. He was wearing a white Nike tracksuit, and his features looked like they were carefully carved, a gift from the gods. His eyes were pure and bright, his lips alluring and perfect. He was watching her quietly, his logshes framing unblinking eyes.


    Nian Xi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly picked herself up and asked, What do you want?


    The man looked up and blinked, his eyshes fluttering in the moonlight. Nian Xi noticed a dirty patch on his pants and remembered that she had knocked into someone. She quickly said, Did I bump into you? My apologies, I was chasing after a thief. Damn, that really hurt! I nearly broke my nose back there.


    The man stood up and towered over Nian Xi. He had a youthful charm.


    Um Ill get going, then. Goodbye. Nian Xi waved her hands and turned to leave. After walking along for a while, she noticed that the man was still following behind her. Although he was a handsome chap, it gave her goosebumps to know that someone was following her in such a dark alley.


    She stopped in her tracks and turned around. Are you hurt in any way? Do you want me topensate you? Youd better think twice if you want to exploit me. I am a policewoman on duty. I was just doing my job.


    The man blinked and continued to stare at her quietly. It must have been a minute before Nian Xi said sympathetically, You are a mute? What a shame that such a handsome man is mute, she thought to herself.


    God was fair, indeed. She was another example. She had such an envy-worthy background, and she was pretty, but her romantic rtionship was far from smooth sailing.


    The man stayed quiet and slowly looked down. He reminded her of the puppy her family had when she was a kid. He was cute, but he wasnt her type. Have you fallen in love with me? Nian Xi said softly, Go home, I like strong, manly guys. She turned to leave, but he was still following her.


    Youre harassing me now. Nian Xi put her hands on her waist. I told you I dont like you.


    The man looked down and fished out a writing pad and a pen. He wrote, Im lost in elegant handwriting.


    Nian Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. She had thought he was pestering her for no good reason. She hadnt knocked the sense out of him, after all. Where is your home? Nian Xi asked, Do you have your familys number? You can ask them toe pick you up.


    The man shook his head. He appeared lost and confused.


    How about your phone? Where is your phone? Nian Xi asked agitatedly.


    The man shook his head once more and wrote, I dont have one.


    Nian Xi was bbergasted. Who the hell is he? Who doesnt have a phone? she wondered. Alright, follow me back to the station, she finally said in exasperation.


    They emerged from the alley after walking for another ten minutes. The police car was still in the same spot, and her colleague smiled at her when he saw her. Xi, I cant believe how good you are at the job. You managed to catch the thief! Damn, he is a good-looking fellow, too good looking to be a thief.

 Chapter 565. Xi, Youve Touched Him. Shouldnt You Be Responsible for That?

    Chapter 565. Xi, You''ve Touched Him. Shouldn''t You Be Responsible for That?


    Hes not the thief. Earlier, I bumped into him while chasing the thief. Hes lost. After saying that, Nian Xi said to her colleagues in a low voice, Hes mute. He doesnt know where his home is, and he doesnt have a cellphone.


    Her colleagues now understood what had happened. A male police officer whispered to her, Xi, hes not faking it, is he? Everyone uses cell phones these days. I guess he wants to go after you, and thats a trick he ys.


    Nian Xi was puzzled for a second and then felt that was highly possible. She turned back, pulled a long face, and said to the man, Are you lying to me?


    The man was confused. Nian Xi lost her patience. She directly reached a hand into one of his trouser pockets. The man automatically turned his body to dodge. Nian Xi moved too fast, so as a result, she identally grabbed the area between the mans legs and then felt something soft in her palm.


    She was stunned. The man paused in shock for a few seconds, then quickly took a few steps backward. His eyes popped as he stared at Nian Xi. His ears turned red, and the streetlights could not conceal that redness. The group of male colleagues didnt know what to say. Nian Xi blushed as well. She really wanted a hole to crawl into.


    She had only seen the private parts of little boys, not that of grown men. And of course, she hadnt touched any. Isnt it a little too soft? she wondered.


    Why did you touch me? Jiang Yuning breathed quickly. His heart was thumping. The area between his legs was hurting, so was his lower belly.


    Youre not mute. Nian Xi recovered from the shock. Why did you pretend to be mute? Her entire face had turned red. His voice was clear and gentle and pleasant to hear.


    Jiang Yuning pressed his lips together, took out a sticky note, and wroteI dont like talking.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. Are you crazy? You dont like talking? Do you like writing then? She thought, What is your mouth for?


    I didnt mean to touch you. I was trying to find out if you have a cellphone in your pocket, Nian Xi murmured in exnation.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head, put his hands into his pockets, and then turned his pockets inside out. Nian Xi then understood that he really did not have a phone. With no other choice, she brought him back to the police station.


    On their way back to the city, a male colleague made a joke. Xi, youve touched him. Shouldnt you be responsible for that?


    Nian Xi immediately blushed. Her palms were burning. She even wanted to cut off her hand.


    Back at the police station, Nian Xi brought the man into her office. His outstanding appearance immediately caught peoples attention, including all the police officers and suspects. A female officer named Bai Ying sneaked over to Nian Xi and asked, Xi, where did you get him? He looks so young and juicy. Im so aroused.


    Nian Xi speechlessly nced at her female colleagues who were apparently inexperienced. She exined what happened again, then turned to ask that strange man, Mister, can you please tell me your name?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    Im asking your name. Can you tell me that? Nian Xi repeated the question impatiently.


    After being yelled at, the mans dark eyes showed a trace of grievance. A short whileter, he wroteI cant.


    Nian Xi almost vomited blood. You cant tell me your name? Are you famous or what? she thought.


    If you dont tell me your name, how am I supposed to contact your family and find out where your home is?


    Theyll find me, he continued writing.


    Nian Xi was relieved. Alright, keep your name secret if you want. As long as you dont worry that it might be quite difficult for your family to find you.


    It was about the time to get off work. Nian Xi stayed at the police station for a while, asionally turning back to look at that man. He was sitting there straight, looking both silly and cute. From time to time, he raised his head to watch the television that was hanging on the wall.

 Chapter 566. Theyre Staying Together Though. Do They Have to Do It Every Day?

    Chapter 566. They''re Staying Together Though. Do They Have to Do It Every Day?


    All the females in the station were staring at him. Nian Xi shook her head with a sigh. When it was time for her to knock off, she packed her things quickly and got ready to leave. When she walked to the door, the young man followed behind her. She turned to him and said, Dont follow me. Wait here at the police station for your family toe.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head. Nian Xi was annoyed. How unlucky could she get? She had just lost her rtionship, and now she had a stalker on her heels. Although he was a handsome fe, she was in no mood to look for another rtionship so quickly. Im going to have to arrest you for harassing me if you continue this.


    Jiang Yuning looked down and wrote, The station is dirty. I dont want to stay here.


    Nian Xi sighed. You dont have a choice. You dont even want to tell me your name. I cant look for your family, so you have to stay here for now.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head again.


    Go follow someone else, then. Why do you have to follow me? Look over there. My colleague has been staring at you for the longest time now. You can go follow her. Nian Xi waved him away.


    He wrote, Shes not as pretty as you.


    Nian Xi blushed. He was checking her out? She guessed that the world just functioned that way. It was a crime to be so pretty. She sighed and looked at him. She decided to help him out since he was so good looking. She didnt think it was appropriate for her to bring a stranger home at night, so she decided to drive him to Tianhu Vi instead.


    Only Sister Lan was in the living room. She was shocked to see Nian Xi bring another man there. Nian Xi had to exin everything to her before asking, Where are my brother and Luosang? Shouldnt theye down and wee their guests?


    Theyre upstairs.


    Ill go up, then. Nian Xi was quickly stopped by Sister Lan as she said, flustered, Dont go up. Theyre probably doing it at this hour.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She quickly burst out into a light chuckle. What a passionate pair. Theyre staying together though. Do they have to do it every day? Geesh.


    Sister Lan hid her grin. Theyre youthful and energetic. You will know what its like once you marry Mr. Feng.


    Nian Xis face turned dark at the mention of Ji Chuan. After tonight, she decided that she should call it quits with him. She couldntpromise for the rest of her life. It would only bring them both more pain in the future.


    Suddenly, someone tugged her arm. Jiang Yuning passed her a note that read, What are they doing?


    How was she supposed to respond to that? Does he have to pretend to be so innocent and pure? Does he really not know about these things? Nian Xi thought.


    Why should I tell you? Go figure it out yourself, Nian Xi said awkwardly.


    He wrote, I should consult others humbly whenever I am at a loss.


    Nian Xi was annoyed. She stomped her foot and said, Make love. Do you understand now? Between a man and a woman, in bed.


    Jiang Yuning froze for a second before his cheeks turned pink. He nodded and wrote, I understand now.


    F*cking hell, you understand now, Nian Xi cursed in her head. Where the hell did this entric mane from? Nian Xi sighed and plopped herself onto the couch.


    Sister Lan was munching on some sunflower seeds, and she would asionally remark to herself, So good looking, as she stared at the young man. She turned to tell Nian Xi, The more I look at him, the more good looking he gets.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Sister Lan, Im sure youve seen plenty of good looking men in your life. Youre working for my brother, and you see him day in day out, after all. Dont you have any bit of immunity to this guy?

 Chapter 567. She Must Have Known What We Were Doing Up Here

    Chapter 567. She Must Have Known What We Were Doing Up Here


    They are saying that youll get tired of rich food if you have it every day. Sister Lan whispered, Please dont tell Young Master that I said so.


    Sister Lan, are you saying that youve gotten tired of my brother? Nian Xi thought, If my brother knows, youll die.


    Half an hourter, Nian Xi looked upstairs again. Why is my brother still noting down? He didnt fall asleep, did he?


    Im not sure. Sister Lan shook her head. But they should have heard the noise of your car when you arrived, whether they were asleep or not, unless they were doing something that needs their full attention.


    Its taking too long. Ill go up there and take a look. Nian Xi ran upstairs. She slowed down as she got closer to the door of their bedroom. Then, she walked to the door, put an ear to the door, and heard Luosangs quavering voiceOh oh my husband slow down


    Hearing that, Nian Xis heart started thumping. Oh my, its my first time overhearing something like this. This is so shocking, Nian Xi thought. Sangsang is always so polite and gentle when I see her, but it turns out shes quite wild in bed. She even called him husband. No wonder my brother is obsessed with her. Like the old saying goes, never judge a book by its cover.


    Nian Xi turned and went back downstairs. On the stairs, she gave a loud shout, Brother, Sangsang, I came to visit you.


    In the bedroom, Nian Junting was startled by suddenly hearing Nian Xis voice. His tightened body shivered as he could not help but finish abruptly. Luosang fell onto therge bed, as if she were suddenly relieved. She was bathed in sweat. Then, she thought of Nian Xis voice and felt utterly embarrassed. Why is Nian Xi here? Oh my God, did she hear us


    She remembered that she wasnt controlling her volume, and that she just shouted many words which made her feel shameful now. She couldnt remember those exact words though. Her entire body turned red when she merely thought about what she said during sex. She really wished there was a hole for her to crawl into.


    She might have heard us, but whats the big deal? Shes gonna marry somebody sooner orter. Nian Junting knitted his brows, as he was quite unhappy. I could have made it longer. Its all her fault, he said.


    Luosang blushed scarlet. She even wanted to bite him. Her legs were nearly broken, yet he wanted it to be longer. She didnt know what to do now. Her legs were so limp, if she went downstairs like that, Nian Xi would certainly find out. I think Im not going down. You just tell her that Im sleeping.


    Will she believe that? Nian Junting raised his brows.


    Im tired. If she saw me like this, shed definitely figure out what we were doing up here. Id be so embarrassed. Luosang hid in the bed, only exposing her appealing, ruby-like cheeks. Nina Junting really wanted to pounce back on her and give her a couple of bites.


    She can know it. Whats so wrong about that? Youre my girlfriend, and our making love is a perfectly normal thing, Nian Junting said carelessly.


    Im not going downstairs. Luosang even covered her head with the nket.


    With no other choice, Nian Junting put on his pajamas and went downstairs alone. Seeing the strange man in the living room, his dark eyes immediately wore a grim and meaningful look. Whos he? Your new boyfriend? Bringing him home so soon? Isnt he too much of a sissy?


    Nian Xi was eating sunflower seeds. She was nning to tease her brother, but what he said almost made her choke on the sunflower seeds. Brother, what are you talking about? She quickly nced at Jiang Tuning. Thetter was sitting there dully, watching a cheesy TV series about mothers and daughters-inw together with Sister Lan, as if he didnt see Nian Junting at all.


    Isnt he yours? Is he Sister Lans boyfriend? The look in Nian Juntings eyes turnedplicated.

 Chapter 568. You Should Be Forthright If You Really Want to Woo My Sister

    Chapter 568. You Should Be Forthright If You Really Want to Woo My Sister


    Sister Lans hands trembled. Miss Nian brought him here. Where could I find such a handsome chap?


    Nian Junting nodded and looked at Jiang Yuning. Nian Xi, your boyfriend has forgotten his manners. Hes not even looking me in the eye.


    I told you, he isnt my boyfriend. Nian Xi was exasperated. Nobody was listening to what she was saying.


    Why did you bring your boyfriend to me anyway? Nian Junting appeared confused. Are you asking for my approval? Im cool with anything, but have you talked things out with Ji Chuan? Didnt he just give you flowers and choctes yesterday?


    Nian Xis heart ached at the mention of Ji Chuan. She felt suffocated. Sister Lan exined everything to Nian Junting.


    What kind of oddball is he? Is he trying to hit on you? Is that the reason why he followed you all the way here? People really resort to all sorts of tricks nowadays. Nian Junting walked towards Jiang Yuning with a stoic face and stared at him sternly. You should be forthright like a real man if you really want to woo my sister. You dont have to resort to such lowly methods. Drop the act that you dont have a phone or you dont talk much. You cant even tell us your name? I must say that your methods are refreshing, almost as interesting as the ones that my woman used.


    After he finished, Jiang Yuning stood up silently and sat himself down on the other end of the couch and continued watching the television.


    He just ignored me! Nian Junting said angrily and raised his brows. He wants to woo you, but hes disrespecting me.


    Hes not trying to woo me, Nian Xi said again with frustration.


    Im afraid the human mind is moreplicated than you think, Nian Junting continued.


    Nian Xi was exhausted. Anyway, he will be sleeping here tonight.


    I dont care, whatever. I wont approve of the two of you, anyway, Nian Junting said again.


    Nian Xi sighed. Although this man in front of her was an oddball, her brother was somewhat an oddball himself. Sometimes she wanted to put a stic bag over his head to stop him from talking. Only Sang could tolerate him. She couldnt believe Leng Shuangwei had trouble getting over him after so many years as well. These people had peculiar taste in men. If she had a boyfriend as strange as her brother, it would drive her crazy.


    Im only here to notify you. I didnt want you to be shocked when you see him tomorrow. She turned and tugged at Jiang Yunings sleeve. Come on, Ill take you to the guest room.


    Jiang Yuning followed her to the guest room on the ground floor. It was clean and neat. Nian Xi said, There isnt a toilet in this room. Its beneath the stairs outside. Do you need to shower? If so, Ill go get some clothes from my brother.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head. Nian Xi nodded in response. Im going to bed then. Ill be next door. Dont wander around by yourself and dont go to the second floor.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. Nian Xi walked towards the door and sighed before adding, If you see my brother and my sister-inw tomorrow, you should look them in the eye if they speak to you. Acknowledge them by nodding or shaking your head. It would be quite rude to ignore them as you did my brother just now.


    Jiang Yuning looked lost. He jotted down on his notepad, Did your brother speak to me just now?


    Nian Xi was speechless. He was speaking to you for a while. You didnt hear any of it?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head in confusion.

 Chapter 569. You Are Pretty and Your Voice is Pleasant

    Chapter 569. You Are Pretty and Your Voice is Pleasant


    Nian Xi couldnt help but ask, How can you hear me talking, then?


    Jiang Yuning pressed his lips together, then wroteYou are pretty, and your voice is pleasant. After showing the note to Nian Xi, he stared straight into her eyes.


    Nian Xi was reminded of the line which was famous on the inte recentlyOh my God, the teenage girl in my heart is awake! She scratched her own scalp awkwardly, then responded, Im going to sleep.


    Jiang Yuning followed her to the door. Nian Xi directly turned back and closed the door for him.


    Nian Junting went back upstairs sullenly. Luosang had just taken a shower. Seeing him pulling a long face, she asked, Who made you unhappy?


    A few cold words escaped Nian Juntings thin lips, Nian Xis boyfriend.


    Is Ji Chuan here?


    No, its a strange man. Ive never seen him before. Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and said, Hes so impolite. I talked to him, but he ignored me. He didnt even look at me.


    Luosang paused for a second, then said, Stop joking. We heard her talking about Ji Chuan just a couple of hours ago. It sounds that theyre about to get back together.


    Im serious. Nian Junting told her how Nian Xi had met Jiang Yuning that night. I bet he nned all this, because he likes Nian Xi. Hes pursuing her in this way. I know my sister very well. Sometimes, she can be so dumb that I dont even like her. But after all, she and I share the same blood. Shes surely much more outstanding than ordinary women, so its normal for her to have suitors.


    I doubt that. Luosang thought for a moment, then said, Maybe that guy is autistic or has some problem with interpersonalmunication. Ive read some psychology books about those kinds of issues.


    Yeah. Nian Junting frowned. Then Ill never let Nian Xi be with him.


    Luosang rolled her eyes. He didnt say that hes pursuing Nian Xi, did he?


    Nian Xi is so pretty. Of course hes pursuing her, said Nian Junting affirmatively.


    Im gonna sleep. Luosang decided not to argue with him. Instead, she pulled up the nket to cover herself.


    Nian Junting quickly got into bed, held her, and said, Im serious. Hes ugly, but more importantly, he has this awful presence.


    Mm, hm. Luosang nodded. She was so sleepy.


    The next day, they freshened up and went downstairs together. Nian Xi was already sitting behind the dinner table listlessly, her head resting on her palms. She had a pair of dark circles under her eyes.


    Isnt your guest up yet? Luosang asked.


    Hes here. Nian Xi continued, pointing behind Luosang with her chin, Hes up. Hes freshening up in the bathroom.


    Luosang turned back to see a tall, slim man. His face was as delicate as a piece of china, and his eyes were as clear as a pool of water. She was a little stunned. Ugly? Awful presence? Nian Juntings words are indeed not trustworthy, she thought.


    Why are you looking at him? Hes so ugly. Theres nothing to look at. Nian Junting turned her face back as she had stared at Jiang Yuning for more than three seconds.


    He is extremely handsome, okay? Luosang couldnt help but say so.


    Nian Junting covered his forehead with a hand. You think so because you have poor taste. After all, you even fell for Yi Jingxi.


    Luosang turned her head away and saw Jiang Yuning quietly sit beside Nian Xi. His thick and curling eyshes still had tiny water drops on them. Those water drops even made Luosangs eyes sparkle. He was so pretty.


    Nian Junting got angry. He red at Nian Xi and said, When are you gonna take him away?


    At least let me finish my breakfast. Nian Xi couldnt sleepst night, so she felt as if her brain was swelling now.

 Chapter 570. Luosangs Heart Nearly M

    Chapter 570. Luosang''s Heart Nearly M


    Leave after you eat, Nian Junting said mercilessly.


    Can you talk nicely to your own sister? Luosang red at him just as Sister Lan served them breakfast. She quickly added, Xi, ask your friend to have breakfast.


    Hes not my friend. Nian Xi grimaced, but she turned to Jiang Yuning and said, Go on. You can eat whatever you want.


    Jiang Yuning finally looked like he had heard someone and started digging in like an obedient child. Luosangs heart nearly melted at the sight of him. She picked up a cob of corn to put on his te. Suddenly, she heard chopsticks cracking and felt a wave a hostility emanating towards her. She froze and quickly turned to ce the corn in Nian Juntings bowl. Go on. I was just stretching my arms, she said quickly.


    Nian Junting grunted in satisfaction and began munching on the corn. Nian Xi couldnt stand the sight of her brother, so she covered her eyes as she continued eating. She turned to see Jiang Yuning eat a siewmai bun with his chopsticks. He looked prim and proper. The bun looked delicious as he sank his teeth into little bites. Luosang noticed it, too. He looked like he had been brought up in a good environment.


    After finishing one bun, he went on to the next, and the next. He was only eating siewmai buns. Luosang said, Dont just eat siewmai. You can try the rest as well. Sister Lan cooks everything well.


    Jiang Yuning continued eating as if he hadnt heard her. Nian Xi nudged him and said, My sister-inw is talking to you. Shes telling you to try other things.


    Jiang Yuning finally looked up and locked eyes with Luosang. He blinked a couple of times before writing on his notepad, Thank you, sister-inw.


    Luosang nearly choked on her soymilk. She thought that it made her sound old whenever Nian Xi called her that. It was worse when he addressed her as, sister-inw. She felt like a proper old auntie. It was ridiculous, as she was probably younger than all of them at the table. What was his rtionship to Nian Xi anyway, for him to address her that way, too?


    Nian Xi also noticed it, and her expression was grim. She is my sister-inw, not yours. Why did you call her that?


    Jiang Yuning was in a daze for a while before writing, I didnt call her that, I wrote it.


    This guy really had a problem. Either that, or he was really good at pretending.


    Youre not allowed to write it, either, Nian Xi said through gritted teeth.


    Jiang Yuning looked down and continued eating his siewmai. Nian Xi sighed exasperatedly. Luosang was chuckling loudly. She thought that the man was interesting. He would bring them a lot more joy if he became Nian Xis boyfriend in the future.


    There were eight siewmai buns on the te. When he cleared the entire te, Nian Xi asked incredulously, Cant you try something else? Do you only eat siewmai buns?


    Jiang Yuning wrote, I eat rice, too.


    Nian Xi was getting tired of talking to him. She was quite depressed after what had happened with Feng Ji Chuan. This man in front of her was driving her nuts, and she was properly emotionally exhausted. He looked weak and gentle. That was why she took pity on him.


    After breakfast, Luosang headed downstairs to wash her hands, and she noticed a mens watch by the sink. It was a ck leather strap watch with a constetion pattern in the center, very pretty. There were many different subdials within the main dial, and looking at it made her dizzy. There was a second hand dial, dials for different time zones, a timer, a moon phase dial, and many more that she couldnt recognize.

 Chapter 571. Ill Give It to You, If You Like It

    Chapter 571. I''ll Give It to You, If You Like It


    She honestly admired the person who had crafted that watch. She hadnt seen Nian Junting wearing a watch like that, so it should be Luosang brought the watch out of the bathroom, put it before Jiang Yunings face, and asked him, Is this yours?


    He silently nced at the watch, then took it and put it on. After that, he turned away and looked outside at the sky.


    You have a special watch, said Luosang.


    Jiang Yuning didnt look at her but kept gazing at the sky.


    My sister-inw is talking to you, said Nian Xi loudly. She said that your watch is special.


    Jiang Yuning abruptly gave a faint smile. His eyes curved like a pair of crescents and sparkled like stars that could light up the night sky. Nian Xi was even stunned by his smile. He normally looked adorkable, but his smile could even make thousands of young girls fall for him. Then, he took out the notepad and wroteIll give it to you, if you like it.


    Luosangs mouth popped open in surprise.


    Nian Xi hadnt seen thating. I didnt say that I liked it. I was talking about my sister-inw.


    Jiang Yuning nced at Luosang, then frowned, shook his head, and wrote, I wont give it to her.


    Luosang was a little speechless. Suddenly, she understood how Nian Xi must have felt when Nian Junting wasnt nice to her. Were they showing off how good their rtionship was?


    Nian Junting sneered. Its nothing but a watch. Whats the big deal? If you like it, Ill buy you one tonight.


    Thats not an ordinary watch, said Luosang. Its worth six million, at least.


    Nian Xi was shocked. She hadnt paid attention to that watch earlier. She wanted to look at it closely now, but she couldnt, as it was covered by Jiang Yunings sleeve.


    Sangsang, are you sure? she asked. She couldnt believe that a man in sportswear was actually wearing such an expensive watch.


    Six million is only a conservative number. Luosang smiled. Most importantly, you may not be able to buy a watch like that, no matter how rich you are. Its design is way tooplicated. Ive never seen a watch like that.


    She turned to Nian Junting, who had knitted his brows into a frown, then continued, I can say that you wont be able to find a watch like that in any store, even if you offer ten million for it.


    Ill offer a hundred million then, said Nian Junting carelessly.


    Luosang gave him a fake smile. Then, she said to Nian Xi, He didnt even look at me. It seems that youre quite special to him. Plus, he was going to give you such an expensive watch even without thinking.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes. We didnt know each other untilst night. How special can I possibly be to him? But he did say that Im pretty, and my voice is pleasant.


    Luosangughed. Am I not pretty? Is my voice unpleasant?


    He has problematic taste. Nian Junting snorted coldly while sipping his coffee. Youre way prettier than Nian Xi, and your voice is so beautiful that you could even try to be one of the best singers in China.


    Im sitting right here. How can you talk about me like that? Nian Xi suddenly felt that even the man whom she had metst night was way better than her brother.


    Steward Wu came in, looked at Jiang Yuning, and said, Young Master, there are two people at the door, asking to see a gentleman. They said that hes in here.


    My God, his family finally showed up. I was worried that I might need to bring him to work today. Nian Xi hurriedly patted her chest. Let them in.


    Five minutester, two tall, strong men walked in. One of them was even as muscr as Vin Diesel. The other one was wearing a brown coat and was around 40 years old. He looked gentle and polite. Seeing Jiang Yuning, both of them sighed in relief.


    Good to see you. The elegant-looking man stepped forward, smiled mildly, and said, We are here to pick up Mr. Jiang. Thank you all for taking care of him.

 Chapter 572. They Had Only Just Met, but He Made Their Relationship Sound So Flirtatious

    Chapter 572. They Had Only Just Met, but He Made Their Rtionship Sound So Flirtatious


    Hello. One of the more poised gentlemen stepped forward with a smile. I am here to pick up our young master. Thank you all for taking care of him.


    Are you his family? Nian Xi stood up quickly. What were you guys doing? It took you so long toe after he was missing for an entire night. He has such a poor sense of direction, and he gets lost so easily, you should get him a phone. Hes a grown up, after all.


    Im sorry. Our young master never uses a phone, the middle-aged man said apologetically.


    Cant you change that? Nian Xi frowned. Lucky for him, he bumped into mest night. If he had bumped into a bunch of blood-thirsty female lechers instead, he would have been locked up in someones basement by now. You wouldnt be able to find him then.


    We would be able to find him. The man smiled. Our young master has a tracking device in his watch. We would be able to find him no matter where he was. We didnt know that he had left the housest night. We only realized that he was gone in the morning.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Were they filming their own 007 Bond movie? Sang was right. That was no ordinary watch.


    Sorry to bother you all, anyway. The man stepped forward and patted Jiang Yunings back. He turned and nodded at the middle-aged man.


    We should return, young master, the middle-aged man said softly.


    Jiang Yunings delicate brows furrowed into a frown. He stood up and walked towards Nian Xi. When he walked past her, he gave her a note that read, Goodbye. I will miss you.


    Nian Xi blushed. They had only just met, but he made their rtionship sound so flirtatious. There sure are many crazy people out there, Nian Xi thought.


    Alright, I know, hurry along. Dont wander around by yourself again, Nian Xi said helplessly.


    Jiang Yuning nodded as he followed the men out the door. After taking a few steps, he turned to nce at Nian Xi again before walking on.


    Luosang giggled. Why do I get the feeling that he is in love with you? I guess its love at first sight. Hes going to miss you so much. What an innocent boy.


    Nian Junting frowned and said grumpily, He has to use notepads to express himself. Youre going to be so exhausted if you date him, you might be a mute yourself.


    Hes not actually mute, Luosang replied. Perhaps if you spend more time with him or if he meets a girl whom he is willing to change for, he might actually speak.


    Just stay away from him, Nian Junting said casually. I noticed a bulge in the pocket of the big burly man that came to get him. It was shaped like a gun. He must either be an agent or a cop.


    Come on, you are reading too much into this, Nian Xi said incredulously. She was a cop herself. She knew what kind of people were equipped with guns in China.


    I do hope that I read too much into it, but I noticed calluses on his index, middle, and ring fingers, too. Those are formed when you use a gun often. I used to have them, too, when I was in the special forces. Nian Junting paused and added, That young guy has a smell on him, too, if you noticed.


    He smells like disinfectant solution. Nian Xi suddenly remembered.


    Yeah, what does he do that requires frequent contact with disinfectant solutions? He either works in a hospital or works in ab. I dare say he works for the country since he is protected by agents carrying guns, Nian Junting concluded.

 Chapter 573. Lets Be Friends

    Chapter 573. Let''s Be Friends


    No way. Nian Xi didnt seem to believe it. I dont think that guys brain is working so well.


    Some strange people whose brains work in odd ways can be especially gifted in certain areas. Luosang had a quite deep understanding about that. She silently gave Nian Junting a nce. She was trying to tell Nian Xi that her brother was a strange man like that.


    Nian Xi was enlightened. That did make sense.


    Nian Xi arrived at the police station, changed into her uniform, then went out on patrol until eleven oclock. When she returned, her colleagues, who were leaving the station, said to her jokingly, Xi, your boyfriend is here to see you again.


    Nian Xi instantly got a lump in her throat. She took a few deep breaths, then walked into the station. Feng Ji Chuan was in her office, putting a bunch of white roses on her desk. As she came in, he raised his head and showed a smile on his chiseled face. Youre back. Lets have lunch togetherter.


    Im not going. Nian Xi lowered her head, sat on a chair, and said, You should go back.


    Ji Chuan grasped her wrist and said in a low voice, Xi, Im about to leave. I want to seize all the time we have now.


    Looking at Ji Chuans slim fingers on her wrist, Nian Xis heart was filled with sadness. Yeah, since you think that we should cherish all the time we have, why did you spend that night with Leng Shuangwei instead of me? she thought. Perhaps you do cherish being together, but its not as important as Shuangwei.


    Speaking of which Nian Xi clenched her teeth and raised her head to look straight at Ji Chuans handsome face. Ji Chuan, do you remember what I saidst time when I canceled our engagement? I said that we should both carefully think about if we should be together or not. Ive thought about it really carefully. I think were probably a not good match for each other. This is it. Lets be friends.


    Feng Ji Chuan paused briefly, then said, Didnt you say that because you were mad? Please stop this. Are you angry again because I didnte herest night when you asked me to? I was in the middle of something.


    Yeah, you were in the middle of something. You were with Shuangwei, werent you? I know that. Nian Xi nodded, trying very hard to stop her tears from streaming out of her eyes. Last night, I was watching you when I called you.


    Feng Ji Chuang froze for a moment. An embarrassed look shed across his face. Shuangwei has been pursuing Junting these past few days. Yesterday, Xu Luosang went to Juntingspany and said some really mean things to her. She was sad, so she got drunk. She hasnt been back in Xia City for long, so she doesnt have other friends, and her parents have divorced. I couldnt leave her alone. Its really dangerous for a girl to get drunk alone out there.


    Nian Xi stood up and asked, Did you have to lie to me about that?


    Last time, you were unhappy about Shuangwei because of that maid of honor thing. I didnt want you to be unhappy again, so I lied, Feng Ji Chuan exined in a low voice. Theres nothing going on between Shuangwei and me. She likes your brother.


    Yeah, she likes my brother. But what if she liked you, and what if she pursued you? Would you remain unmoved? Nian Xi couldnt help but ask.


    Xi, youre being unreasonable. Ji Chuan frowned. Shuangwei and I are just friends. How could she ever pursue me?


    You wouldnt be unmoved, because you always praised her when we were little. When you were injured, all the others knew about it, including Shuagnwei, but not me. Nian Xi was full of sadness. She was out there and drinking. You could have told me that. Shes my friend, and we grew up together. Dont I care about her safety? Would I ever be so mean to her? Ji Chuan, you never know me. There is a problem between us, a big problem.

 Chapter 574. Lets Break Up Officially

    Chapter 574. Let''s Break Up Officially


    Ji Chuan massaged his temples. Yes, I see our problems more clearly now, Xi. Can you please be more rational? I respected you, even when you called off our engagement so hastily, even when it brought shame to my family. What else do you want from me? For me to stop being friends with Shuangwei? Dont you think youre being a little unreasonable? We are all friends, after all. You werent like this before.


    Nian Xis eyes welled up in tears. She had wanted to break it off peacefully. Right now, everything he said cut deep like a razor. Alright, you can treat it as if Im the one being unreasonable. Lets break up officially. Since you cant stand me any longer, dont buy me these things in the future. Nian Xi sat down on the chair away from him.


    You can take some time to cool down, then. Ji Chuan looked at her back helplessly. Im going to make a move.


    Im not talking about taking a break. I want to break up with you. Nian Xi was shaking. Her limbs and her torso felt weak. Before Ji Chuan could say anything further, she continued, You should give your good friend Shuangwei a bit of advice, too. Tell her to stop bothering my brother. I heard from Sang that she did all sorts of antics from balloons to advertising screens to confess her feelings to him. The wholepany is talking about it. He already has a girlfriend.


    Feng Ji Chuan felt ufortable at the mention of Luosang. He thought that she was purely seducing Nian Junting with her body. Before he could voice his opinions on the matter, he stopped himself. Since the situation was as bad as it was between them, it would only make Nian Xi angrier. One thing was for certain; they had differing opinions when it came to Nian Junting.


    Lets talk about it after Im transferred back. He quickly marched off.


    Nian Xi felt like someone had torn her heart in half as his footsteps slowly faded away. If only she couldpromise on certain things, if only she could have a bigger heart, they might not have ended up this way. But the more she loved him, the more jealous she got, especially after observing how Nian Junting treated Luosang.


    She thought about a man who would put her first in all scenarios, someone who would spoil her and love her unconditionally. Feng Ji Chuan wasnt that man. Even when it came to breaking off their engagement and breaking up, he kept his cool. Maybe if she loved him a little less, they might be happy together.


    In the following days, Luosang went to school in the mornings and voice acted at thepany in the afternoons. She didnt knock off from work until midnight every day. If he wasnt busy, Nian Junting would appear at the recording studio at 11 oclock every night to wait for her. He would bring her lots of food every time he was there.


    Luosangs colleagues had the initial impression that he would distribute the food to the crew as supper. They soon realized that the food was meant for Luosang and Luosang only. He always handed it straight to her and had no intention of sharing it with the rest of the crew.


    Whenever Luosang tried to hand out the food, Nian Junting would stop her. I only bought enough for you, he would say.


    The other voice actors were shocked. He brought plenty of food with him, two whole bags to be exact. Feng Cheng said, I didnt know that you had such a big appetite. I couldnt tell from all the times we ate together.


    Luosang would blush when people made remarks like that, and she would re at Nian Junting. It was embarrassing to let others know how much she could eat. Its alright. Lets all share. He only thinks that I can eat so much, Luosang replied.


    Really? Didnt you finish all the foodst night? I had to buy more today, Nian Junting said.

 Chapter 575. I Get Tired When I Cant See You

    Chapter 575. I Get Tired When I Can''t See You


    Luosang was so embarrassed that she even wanted to kill herself.


    Its alright, its alright, you eat it, one of her colleagues hurriedly said. You worked the most, so youve consumed the most energy. You should eat more than we do.


    Nian Junting put his arm around her shoulders. Lets go. You can eat on our way back, and then go to sleep when we get home.


    They got into the car. There were only a few cars on the road, as it was already midnight. Luosang opened the boxes. There were steamed buns with custard and egg yolk filling, chicken feet, and a rice noodle roll. The dessert was chocte cake with apricot jam.


    Recently, as Nian Junting brought food to her almost every single day, she was quite touched, indeed. After all, he had been trying pretty hard to surprise her with all different types of food.


    Next time when you bring food to me, instead of bringing it upstairs, maybe you should just leave it in the car. Its quite embarrassing that we let my colleagues see the food without sharing it with them, Luosang said helplessly.


    Nian Junting paused for a second, as he didnt understand why. Why is that embarrassing? Ive never thought about sharing my food with others when I eat in my office. They can ask their boyfriends to bring them food too, if they want some.


    Are you the same as us? Youre the CEO. Its a normal thing for people to share food with their colleagues, Luosang said while eating the rice noodle roll. Its midnight. Actually, you dont need to stay up sote with me every day to pick me up, as you need to go to work early in the morning. This is too exhausting for you.


    Nian Junting gave her a sad nce and said, But I get even more tired when I cant see you.


    Luosang felt sweet. In fact, many other female voice actors were jealous of her for having such a great boyfriend. None of their boyfriends came to pick them after work every day. Some of their boyfriends only showed up a few times, and they werent as handsome and rich as Nian Junting was.


    You have sses every morning at about eight oclock. Can you cope with it? Nian Junting continued, You actually dont need to go to sses every single day, as some sses arent really important. Besides, you are already very good at voice acting, and you have officially started your career already, so you dont need to go to school every day. After all, hasnt Yan Su been asking for leave a lot recently?


    Were different. She needs to travel all over the country, but my job is located in Xia City. I wont miss a ss unless I have to. Its always good to learn more. Luosang took a sip of the juice and said, Weve been learning actingtely. I want to learn more about it. Although Im not going to be an actor, we can still use some acting skills when doing voice acting.


    Nian Junting frowned. He did want his girlfriend to be more knowledgeable, but it could also give him a headache when she worked too hard.


    When will you stop being busy? he asked.


    In about half a month, she answered.


    The third day of next month, can you ask for leave that night? Nian Junting said, That day is my grandmas birthday. I want to take you to see her.


    Luosang hurriedly swallowed the juice in her mouth. Her eyes popped open wide as she stared at Nian Junting. Nian Qingyun didnt like her. So now, she felt that going to the Nian family was no different from going to an extremely dangerous ce.


    I was going to take you home at New Years, but we were having a fight at that time. Nian Junting continued while driving, Anyhow, you need to meet the rest of my family sooner orter. Dont worry, my grandparents arent like my father.


    Luosang thought for a moment but still shook her head. Even though were going to get married, we need to wait at least until Ive graduated and found a stable job. We can do that next year or the year after that. I dont want to meet your other family so early. At least for now, your father is not going to ept me. We may as well wait for one or two years. Ill meet your family when my father is proved to be innocent. By then, Ill be able to face them with no shame. Didnt you say that itll only take half a year for us to find those people who made false statements and framed my father?

 Chapter 576. Luo, Tell Me the Truth. Are You Feeling It Tonight?

    Chapter 576. Luo, Tell Me the Truth. Are You Feeling It Tonight?


    Nian Junting pursed his lips in thought.


    Luosang added, Thest time I bumped into your dad at the hospital, he directly told me to leave you alone. I dont think he would be kind to me if I married into the family now.


    Alright. Nian Junting couldnt stand the thought of his woman being bullied. He wouldnt be able to be by her side all night during the wedding to protect her, either. If Xu Zhengxuans name was cleared, Nian Qingyun wouldnt be able to disagree anymore.


    I dont know what to get my grandma though. You have to go with me.


    No problem. Luosang smiled and held his hand.


    He was staying over at Luosangs apartment at night. When they entered the elevator, Luosang suddenly wriggled herself into his arms after he pressed the buttons. She wrapped her arms around his neck tenderly. He froze and looked down. The woman in front of him was coy and embarrassed.


    He was stunned and his eyes darkened. Are you seducing me in the elevator in the middle of the night? I might swallow you whole the moment we enter the apartment. He had been in agony recently. She came home so tired every night, he didnt want to bother her, especially after what happened thest time. So, he had to rely on cold showers and himself to quench his thirst.


    Luosang bit her lower lip and whispered shyly, Ill satisfy you tonight since youve been behaving so welltely.


    It was rare for her to offer herself. Nian Juntings chest felt like it had been lit on fire. His heartbeat was racing, and the air around him felt hot. He was already turned on just by hugging her.


    Luosang felt his member beneath, and she was a little speechless. She hadnt even kissed him yet. He was in such a rush. However, she was used to his quick pacing.


    The elevator dinged, and it was their stop. Nian Junting carried her out and shook his head. No, youre so tired tonight, and you have sses early in the morning tomorrow. Youve even lost some weight despite how much youre eating.


    What a considerate gentleman. Luosang was touched and clutched his arm tightly. Its alright just one time.


    Nian Junting looked down and locked eyes with her for a while before his lips curled into a grin. Luo, tell me the truth. Are you feeling it tonight?


    Only you are feeling it. You dont have to do it if you dont want to. Luosang was blushing from embarrassment. She pushed him away and opened the door with her keys. The moment the door opened, he swooped her up from behind.


    Nian Junting nted hot kisses on her earlobes, and she felt her legs go weak. He turned her body around and shut her mouth with feverish kisses. He closed the door with one hand and grabbed her neck with the other. They kicked off their shoes and their lips remained locked. He was greedy for the taste of her.


    The moment their bodies met, he felt the warmth spread within him. Between moans and gasps, he lifted Luosang, and she straddled his waist. She tightened her arms around his neck. Nian Junting hastily carried her to the dining table.


    You want to do it here? Luosang was shaking. Although Yan Su wasnt around tonight, she was embarrassed to make love in such a public area.


    Why not? Nian Junting plundered her mouth with his own and continued kissing her urgently.


    She was left with no strength to object. Nian Junting ravished Luosang on the dining table. He finished faster than usual, probably because they were in a new ce and because he had been deprived for a while now.

 Chapter 577. I Almost Forgot to Tell You That Your Roommate Was Home Last Night

    Chapter 577. I Almost Forgot to Tell You That Your Roommate Was Home Last Night


    After finishing, Luosang felt extremely ashamed when looking at the clothes on the table and floor. She believed that she would never be able to eat calmly on this table again.


    Nian Junting carried her into the bathroom, and then they had a quick shower together. When they came out of the bathroom, it was already one oclock in the morning. Luosang couldnt even keep her eyes open, but she still kicked Nian Junting and muttered, Go and pick up the clothes in the dining room.


    Ill do it tomorrow. Nian Junting was so sleepy that he didnt want to move at all. Your friend is not home, anyway.


    Go. Luosang pushed him. Su mighte home tomorrow morning. If she sees those clothes, I wont be able to face her ever again.


    Nian Junting gave in and went out with a sleepy face to pick up their clothes. Once he opened the bedroom door, he saw that the light in the bathroom was on. He walked over and saw Yan Sue out from the bathroom. Seeing Nian Junting, her face blushed scarlet. Um I just woke up. I needed to use the bathroom, but I dont know what happened here earlier. After saying that, she quickly went back into her own room.


    Nian Junting was a little speechless. He stood there for a short while, then turned, picked up the clothes under the dining table, and walked back to Luosangs room. By then, Luosang had already fallen asleep.


    The next day, the rm on Luosangs phone woke them up. As ss was going to start in 40 minutes, Luosang hurriedly got up from the bed and put on her clothes. Nian Junting slowly sat up, watched her get dressed, and said, I almost forgot to tell you thatst night, your friend was home.


    Luosang slowly turned around, blinked, and looked at the drowsy-looking man behind her. I must be dreaming, she said to herself. Im still asleep, so all this is not real.


    I saw her when you sent me out there to pick up our clothes, Nian Junting continued.


    Luosang couldnt think of a word to say. She only wished that she could fall unconscious and never wake up. They had made such loud noises in the dining roomst night, and she assumed that Yan Su had heard them all. She remembered that the wall between Yan Sus room and the dining room had been reced by a cab. A sound istion board was put on the cab, but the soundproofing effect was not ideal.


    Its okay. Nian Junting stroked Luosangs hair withposure as he said, Maybe she was in a deep sleep and didnt hear us.


    Its all your fault. Why did you have to do it in the dining room? Luosang angrily pped his hand away and said, We have a bed, but you wanted some excitement. Now, I cant face Yan Su. She clearly remembered that she hadnt tried to control her volumest night, and that she said many words that made her feel so ashamed now.


    I dont think its a big deal. Doesnt she have a boyfriend, too? Nian Junting said calmly.


    Luosang covered her face with a cloth. How could that be the same? Yan Su hadnt done it with her boyfriend yet. Luosang now wondered if Yan Su would give her a bunch of condomster when she came out of her bedroom. What made her a little relieved was that when she finally gathered the courage to go out of her bedroom, she found that Yan Su had already left.


    Yan Su was such a thoughtful roommate. Normally, she rarely left without Luosang. However, she seemed to clearly understand that Luosang would feel embarrassed.


    At lunchtime, Luosang ran into Yan Su after buying her meal. Su Why didnt you invite me to have lunch with you? Luosang started the conversation awkwardly.


    Um Yan Su carried her meal and responded unnaturally, I thought youd left for the recording studio.


    Lets eat together, Luosang said. The two of them sat down. Luosang stayed silent for a short while, then said, Were you homest night?<ul><li><i></i>


    Thats so embarrassing</li><li><i></i></li></ul>VIEW ALL COMMENTSRate this chapterVote with Power Stone


    Yan Su choked on the rice and coughed violently. When she finally recovered, she said, I was going to spend the night over there, but I ended early at around nine, so I took the earliest flight back.


    Luosang did some mental calctions. Yan Su must have gotten home just a bit earlier than they didst night. She must have heard everything then. She quickly buried her head back into her bowl.


    Yan Su decided to address the elephant in the room to ease the atmosphere. Dont worry, I was drifting in and out of sleep by then. I couldnt hear you guys clearly.


    How did she know that they were doing it if she hadnt heard them clearly? Luosang was blushing bright red. Im sorry, I wont bring him over again.


    Its fine, really! It was my fault for not texting you before I headed home. Yan Su covered her mouth to hide a giggle. Who knew you still had the energy to do it aftering home sotest night? You guys were so energetic and passionate.


    And she said she hadnt heard them clearly. Luosang was humiliated. Alright, lets stop talking about it.


    Yan Su could tell how awkward she felt and decided to end the discussion, but she couldnt help but say, But you guys were so urgentst night. Did you manage to put on the condom? Remember to always use protection. You dont want to get pregnant since youre still in school, after all.


    Luosang sighed. She had lost all her dignity already. I thought you said you didnt hear us clearly. How did you know that we were urgent


    I guessed it, just a guess. Yan Su dug into her meal quickly.


    Dont worry, it was a safe dayst night, Luosang looked at her and stuttered. Oh right, the new song that you released on New Years Eve is pretty good. Its already top ten on the Billboard chart. You are so good!


    They found a goodposer. Yan Su was happy at the mention of her song. All these resources originally belonged to Ye Chuen. I struck gold when Inded such a good deal, all thanks to you, of course.


    Speaking of her, do you know what shes up to after going to Paris? Luosang asked suddenly. I thought she would fly back immediately after seeing the academy in real life. I thought she woulde looking for trouble again, but I havent heard anything from her in a while.


    Do you think she still dares toe to you to look for trouble? Yan Su asked. I heard from my boss that Kang Ying and her family are receiving a pathetic sum for their sry in Zhongzhou now. They dont have any actual power now, and no one is willing to do business with them in the industry. When Ye Chuen came back for the New Year, Kang Yang wanted to help her debut as an artist here, but no one was willing to help them. They wont dare toe to you again. If they anger Nian Junting again, they will probably lose their jobs at Zhongzhou.


    Luosang was shocked. Nian Junting hadnt told her any of that.


    On the second of the month, Luosang took two hours off work to pick out a calligraphy piece for Nian Juntings grandma with him. On the third of the month, Luosang was in the recording studio at five oclock. One of the crew members carried a bag of bento boxes into the studio. Come eat, well continue after the break.


    Luosang walked over with the rest of the members. When they were all sitting around the table, they beganining about some of the actors poor acting. They cant even act properly, but they get higher pay than all of us, one of the voice actorsined. We work tirelessly as their voice actors but only get a fraction of their sry, only enough for them to wipe their ass with.

    Yan Su choked on the rice and coughed violently. When she finally recovered, she said, I was going to spend the night over there, but I ended early at around nine, so I took the earliest flight back.


    Luosang did some mental calctions. Yan Su must have gotten home just a bit earlier than they didst night. She must have heard everything then. She quickly buried her head back into her bowl.


    Yan Su decided to address the elephant in the room to ease the atmosphere. Dont worry, I was drifting in and out of sleep by then. I couldnt hear you guys clearly.


    How did she know that they were doing it if she hadnt heard them clearly? Luosang was blushing bright red. Im sorry, I wont bring him over again.


    Its fine, really! It was my fault for not texting you before I headed home. Yan Su covered her mouth to hide a giggle. Who knew you still had the energy to do it aftering home sotest night? You guys were so energetic and passionate.


    And she said she hadnt heard them clearly. Luosang was humiliated. Alright, lets stop talking about it.


    Yan Su could tell how awkward she felt and decided to end the discussion, but she couldnt help but say, But you guys were so urgentst night. Did you manage to put on the condom? Remember to always use protection. You dont want to get pregnant since youre still in school, after all.


    Luosang sighed. She had lost all her dignity already. I thought you said you didnt hear us clearly. How did you know that we were urgent


    I guessed it, just a guess. Yan Su dug into her meal quickly.


    Dont worry, it was a safe dayst night, Luosang looked at her and stuttered. Oh right, the new song that you released on New Years Eve is pretty good. Its already top ten on the Billboard chart. You are so good!

 Chapter 579. This Is Leng, Our New Instructor

    Chapter 579. This Is Leng, Our New Instructor


    Luosang listened silently, nodding from time to time. Zhou Xiaoye, the girl who did the voice of a supporting female character said, Honestly, we are all average-looking, but Luosang, youre so good at acting and so pretty. Why do you insist on working behind the screen? Its such a waste.


    I agree. You see, Zhong Yi isnt as pretty as you are, but still, she became a star, said Chang Xiao. Well, I think shes indecent. Was staying with Yi Jingxi not good enough? She cheated on him, and now shes miserable. Although the Yi Group now has problems, too, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.


    Being a star can make you rich, but many problems will ur when you be famous. We are much freer than those stars. Luosang smiled.


    That is true. You are basically carefree. All you need to do is to cherish your handsome and rich boyfriend. You dont need to strive so hard for a ce in the entertainment industry. Zhou Xiaoye sighed. The entertainment industry is all about money. Lets take Zhong Yi as an example. Shes used to her luxurious lifestyle, but now she cant get any jobs, so she became Mr. Miaos mistress.


    We know about that, said Feng Cheng. Last time, Director Tang saw them in a restaurant.


    Therere something you dont know yet. Here is the shocking news, said Zhou Xiaoye mysteriously. I heard from a friend of mine whos a journalist thatst week, Zhong Yi was taken to the hospital at night. Its said that there was arge wound in her private area, which even needed to be stitched. The Miao familys people managed to keep that secret.


    Luosang was so shocked that she even forgot to swallow the food in her mouth.


    That Mr. Miao is so sick. Feng Cheng was surprised. How much does Zhong Yi love money? Does she have to do that to herself?


    We dont understand, either. In the worst case, she could just leave the entertainment industry. I guess shes just unwilling to give up that glorious life, so she has no choice but to fall into hell. Zhou Xiaoye sighed again and said, Mr. Miao is rich indeed, but is also famous for being sick. His marriage with his wife exists in name only.


    Feng Cheng waved a hand and said with dislike, Alright, lets stop talking about these kinds of things. They are just too negative.


    After dinner, Luosang called Nian Junting. The call wasnt answered. Tonight was his grandmas birthday party, so she guessed that he should be busy greeting the guests at this time. She heard that this was his grandmas eightieth birthday, and that many guests would attend the dinner party.


    Tianxi Grand Hotel, Forth Floor.


    Nian Junting and his cousins were weing the guests at the entrance.


    Nian Juntings grandma had three children who worked in either the military world or the business world. Originally, they only nned to book a few tables and hold a small party with their families and friends to celebrate their mothers eightieth birthday, but the news somehow spread, and quite a few uninvited guests showed up to offer birthday felicitations.


    Nian Junting arranged a seat for a guest, then turned around and saw Captain Liu from the Armed Police Corps walk over with Leng Shuangwei. Junting, youre more and more handsome. Captain Liuughed. This is Leng, our new instructor.


    Uncle Liu, Miss Leng, pleasee in and have a seat. Nian Junting politely nodded at Leng Shuangwei and said, My father is over there.


    Im gonna go and say hi to your grandma first. Captain Liu walked in with Leng Shuangwei.


    Looking at Leng Shuangweis back, Nian Junting frowned slightly. One of his cousins patted him on the shoulder and said, Ah, the military world is small. We cant do a thing about it.


    Nian Junting nodded and replied, Ill leave this area to you. Im gonna go inside to offer seats to the guests.


    Go. His cousin waved a hand.


    At six oclock, Nian Junting sat down at the head table, ncing at all the guests. The look in his eyes suddenly changed when he saw Zhong Yi.

 Chapter 580. She Is the Reason I Am in This Sorry State Today. I Am Going to Ruin Her.

    Chapter 580. She Is the Reason I Am in This Sorry State Today. I Am Going to Ruin Her.


    Why did Miao Zheng bring that woman here? Nian Junting grabbed his cousin beside him agitatedly.


    His cousin looked over and said, I heard he brings her wherever he goes, to show off, I guess. She was the top actress just a few years back, after all. Now she is his woman. He acts impudently towards her, and hurls verbal abuse and physical abuse as and when he pleases.


    What about his wife? How can she stand him bringing his mistress to my grandmas birthday party? What kind of joke is this? Nian Junting was repulsed.


    Aiyo, their marriage is only valid on paper. They havent gotten a divorce, but they havent lived together for years. Mr. Miao hit her whenever he was drunk, so she moved out long ago. I heard this from my dad, his cousin remarked. If you want him toe with his wife, that wont be possible.


    Nian Junting was disgusted.


    When the dinner started, most of the guests came forward to greet the olddy. The olddy had had several sses of fruit juice and needed to use the washroom. His Second Aunt apanied her.


    Nian Junting was toasting several old employees of thepany when he suddenly heard a loud shriek. Murder, murder!


    The party was abruptly halted. The Nian family looked worried. They knew the voice. Its Second Aunt! Nian Xi shouted. She went to the washroom with Grandma!


    Nian Junting kicked the chair away and dashed towards the sound. He bumped straight into Second Aunt who was in a panic. Her hands were stained with fresh blood.


    She looked relieved when she saw Nian Junting and grabbed his hand frantically. In the washroom, theres a crazy woman. She has a knife. Someone is hurt. Ma is still inside.


    How can you leave Grandma inside? Nian Junting pushed her aside angrily and dashed into the bathroom.


    There was blood everywhere, and the olddy was struggling on the ground. Leng Shuangwei leaned against the sink feebly. There was a gaping wound on her abdomen that was bleeding profusely. She had multiple gashes across her arms as well. Ady in a red trench coat was still waving a knife dangerously at the olddy.


    Leng Shuangwei kicked thedys back, but she was injured and her strength limited. Thedy turned to plunge the knife into Leng Shuangwei.


    Nian Junting recognized her face instantly. Zhong Yi. The crazy woman was Zhong Yi. He acted quickly and rushed forward to pin her down onto the ground.


    Let me go. I am going to kill all of you. You caused me great misery. How can Xu Luosang have all the happiness in the world? She is the reason I am in this sorry state today. I am going to ruin her. I wont ever allow her to be happy. I am going to seek revenge. I am going to kill all of Nian Juntings family today, Zhong Yi shouted at the top of her lungs.


    Nian Junting knocked her out with the handle of the knife. In the meantime, Nian Xi and Nian Qingyun had rushed there, too.


    Shuangwei Nian Xi was shocked. She quickly stepped forward to support her.


    Leng Shuangwei clutched Nian Xis hands, slowly slid to the floor, and lost consciousness.


    Quick, save her! Grandma Nian said feebly. If she hadnt taken the knife for me, it would have been my death anniversary today.


    Nian Junting called the ambnce immediately and notified the police as well. There were doctors present among the guests, and they quickly stepped forward to stop the bleeding.


    When the ambnce came, Leng Shuangwei and Grandma Nian were quickly brought to the hospital. Grandma Nian only suffered mild injuries. She had sprained her ankle when she fell to the ground. However, Leng Shuangwei was in a critical state.


    At the hospital, Second Uncle was grabbing onto Second Aunt and shouting angrily, How could you leave Ma in there and run away to safety by yourself?

 Chapter 581. So, This Is Because of the Woman Youre With

    Chapter 581. So, This Is Because of the Woman You''re With


    His aunt was still frightened. Her legs kept shaking as she murmured, I was so scared. That woman is crazy. She stabbed Leng Shuangwei, then tried to kill Mom. I pushed her, and then she came at me crazily. My mind went nk, so I ran away.


    Alright, Uncle, calm down. Nian Junting pulled his uncle away, then asked his aunt with a cold look, Aunty, can you make it clearer? As far as I know, Zhong Yi never learned martial arts. Leng Shuangwei used to be a soldier. How could she be injured so easily?


    His aunt took a sip of water, then exined, trembling, I escorted Mom to the washroom. We bumped into Leng Shuangwei when we came out. We had a short conversation, and then Zhong Yi came over. She had a weird look at that time, but you know, shes a guest, after all. Suddenly, she reached out her hands toward your grandmas neck while saying that its because shes Nian Juntings grandma, and that Xu Luosang ruined her happiness, so shell ruin hers, too, and, and that shes going to kill everyone from the Nian family.


    Leng Shuangwei took her down, as the situation was not good, then started calling the police. However, that psychopath actually took out a knife from her purse and stabbed Leng Shuangwei in the stomach. Both your grandma and I were freaked out. We tried to run, but Zhong Yi pulled the knife out to attack us. Thankfully, Leng Shuangwei risked her own life to stop her, then I got a chance to run.


    Xu Luosang. So, this is because of the woman youre with. Nian Qignyun was infuriated. He grabbed Nian Juntings sleeve and kicked him, yelling, Ive told you that woman is no good. You refused to listen to me and insisted on being with her. Now this kind of crap happened on your grandmas eightieth birthday. If Leng Shuangwei wasnt there, today would be the day your grandma died!


    Nian Junting didnt fight back. Nian Xi stepped forward and said, Dad, I think we should me the one who brought Zhong Yi here. We dont know her at all. Uncle Miao shouldnt have brought that psychopath in here.


    Oh my, Miss Nian. How was I supposed to know that she hates Mr. Nians girlfriend? Mr. Miao hurriedly tried to exin himself. Now Ive figured it out. Shes been trying so hard to get close to me. Maybe thats because she wants to get revenge on Mr. Nian. Mr. Nians girlfriend is her enemy. Shes clearly trying to ruin her enemys happiness. Ah, also, I wasnt going to bring her here, but she begged me. He clicked his tongue, then continued, Mr. Nian, please be careful when you have a new girlfriend. Your girlfriend has put me in serious trouble this time.


    Nian Junting couldnt bear listening to him. Instead, he punched Miao in the face and said, D*mn you! Watch your mouth! What are you? Youve never treated women like people. I have witnessed you beat her like a dog in a public ce. Perhaps she did this on my grandmas birthday party because youve been torturing her.


    Suffering that punch, Miao Zheng bumped against the wall. He covered his face, moaned in pain, and said, That is not fair. If she wanted to get revenge on me, she could have directly gone to my family. Why would she do it to your family?


    Junting, we all heard her calling Xu Luosangs name when we got in there. Nian Juntings uncle joined the conversation with a frown.


    Nian Juntings sharp eyes glowed with a cold light. His chest heaved in anger. The police will surely find out the exact cause of this, he said.


    Yeah. Now, Shuangweis safety is the most important thing. Nian Xi hurriedly changed the topic. Ive already informed Uncle Leng about what happened.


    Nian Qingyun paused for a second, then said, embarrassed, D*mn. Your Uncle Leng will want me to die.

 Chapter 582. Leng Zhe, the Nian Family Owes You

    Chapter 582. Leng Zhe, the Nian Family Owes You


    The old man red at him and said, He should hate you. You broke their family up, and now Leng Shuangwei is like this. Youd better pray that she pulls through, or Leng Zhe will most definitely kill you.


    Nian Qingyun was aghast.


    Second Aunt said, Although Leng Shuangwei has broken up with Junting, she is still so loyal and kind. She was defending us, even when she was so badly injured. I dont think Ma and I would have survived tonight if not for her.


    Nian Junting frowned without speaking a word.


    After half an hour, a series of footsteps could be heard, and Leng Zhe appeared down the hallway. He looked angry and grim as he shouted, How is Shuangwei?


    Uncle Leng, Nian Junting was the first to stand and address him. Shes still under anesthesia.


    Leng Zhe clenched his fists and asked with a deep growl, How long has it been?


    Its already been 50 minutes.


    Leng Zhe yelled, How seriously injured is she?


    She was stabbed in the abdomen. Im not sure about the rest, Nian Junting answered in a low voice.


    Leng Zhe was silent for half a minute before he turned and pounced on Nian Qingyun. Nian Qingyun, I count myself unlucky to have a brother like you. How could you hurt my precious daughter as well? How could you do that to my only daughter?


    Old Leng, calm down, Nian Qingyun said as Leng Zhe continued throwing punches at him. He didnt dare to return his punches.


    Second Uncle stepped forward to pull the two of them apart. Leng Zhe, lets not make a scene in the hospital. Lets not affect the doctors who are still doing their best in there. There were doctors at the banquet who helped her just now, too. She will be fine.


    Leng Zhe gasped for air before copsing weakly on the bench by the wall. He covered his eyes with his hands. After a while, Jiang Qifei arrived as well. She sat in the chair and began sobbing. The atmosphere was heavy. The operation theater light went off only after another hour.


    Doctor, how is the patient? Jiang Qifei rushed forward and asked amid tears.


    We already closed the wounds. Her life is not in any danger at the moment, but she still needs to be in critical care. The next three days will be important to optimize her recovery, the doctor said.


    Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    But the doctor frowned. There were a total of four gashes on her body. Most of them were non-critical, but the one in her lower abdomen was a prating wound to her uterus. She might have trouble getting pregnant in the future.


    Everyone fell silent. They knew how important childbearing was, especially for an unwed youngdy. It would surely serve as a huge blow to herter.


    How? Jiang Qifei covered her mouth and copsed on the floor in a heap. What about in vitro fertilization?


    It would be difficult for the fetus to survive.


    Nian Qingyun Leng Zhe was shaking with anger, and he pounced on Nian Qingyun yet again. You bastard, what have I ever done to you to deserve this? My daughter is ruined because of your family. He channeled all his anger into his punches.


    Calm down, Leng Zhe Nian Qingyun was beaten to a pulp, and before he could finish, he was punched in the stomach and fell to the floor. Everyone else was busy holding Leng Zhe back. Leng Zhe looked like he had been driven mad, and he wouldnt stop throwing punches at the other man.


    Alright, stop! Grandpa Nian yelled. Out of respect for the old man, Leng Zhe stopped and started sobbing.


    Leng Zhe, the Nian family owes you, the old man inhaled sharply and said. Dont worry, we will take responsibility. I will make Junting will marry Shuangwei.

 Chapter 583. We Plan to Talk to Miss Xu

    Chapter 583. We n to Talk to Miss Xu


    No, Nian Junting refused with a cold voice. I already have a girlfriend.


    How dare you mention your girlfriend? Nian Qingyun, who had taken a beating, was just looking for a way to channel his anger. Things became like this because of her! He said, You have to be responsible for Shuangwei. That is the only solution.


    Brother, Junting is your only son, Nian Juntings uncle couldnt help but remind him in a low voice. Nian Junting would never have children if he married an infertile woman.


    He can adopt children. Nian Juntings father closed his eyes with bitterness that he could not express. Dont you have a son? Our Nian family will surely have an heir.


    Leng Zhe was beyond tolerance. Enough! he said. Do you think I want Shuangwei to be a part of your family? You people make me sick.


    Leng Zhe, calm down. Jiang Qifei sobbed. Shuangwei has really liked Junting this whole time.


    And youre the reason why theyre no longer together. Seeing Jiang Qifei, Leng Zhe felt nothing but rage. Youve ruined our daughters happiness.


    I dont like Shuangwei. I wont marry her, Nian Junting added.


    Nian Qingyun pointed at his nose and yelled, Youre thest person to say no to her.


    Whatever you say. Im going to the police station to see if theyve found out anything. Ille back to see herter. Nian Junting turned and left the hospital.


    Look at your sons attitude. Leng Zhe was ao angry.


    Leng Zhe, dont worry. We will persuade him. Nian Juntings father sighed.


    Seeing all this, Nian Xi couldnt help but knit her brows and frown.


    Nian Junting got into the car and opened the window to take a deep breath of fresh air. After that, he started the car and headed to the police station.


    Zhong Yi was already awake. Captain Xiao, who was in charge of this case, gave her a quick interrogation before he came out to see Nian Junting.


    Captain Xiao, does the suspect have mental problems? Nian Junting got straight to the point.


    We have tested her blood and found that shes using drugs, but that is not important. Captain Xiao showed Nian Junting the examination report. Shes covered in wounds. Even we were shocked. One of our female officers checked her body while she was asleep, and she found whip wounds, candle-burns, and tearing in her private area. I suppose she has suffered sexual abuse. Someone has violently put things like balls and bottles into her body.


    Nian Junting frowned deeper and deeper while hearing that. Miao Zheng was sicker than he thought. Miao Zheng did it. Hes her boyfriend, he said.


    Weve already sent our officers to him. However, if she was not coerced, Miao Zhengswyer will be able to get him out of his easily, Captain Xiao said. Also, weve got some information from Zhong Yis interrogation. She was Yi Jiangxis girlfriend. Yi Jingxi broke up with her because of Xu Luosang. Mr. Nian, I heard that Miss Xu is your girlfriend. Zhong Yi believes that Miss Xu did all this to her. As you are in a rtionship with Miss Xu, she believed that killing your family would stop you from marrying Miss Xu and make you hate her, and in that way, Miss Xu would live a miserable life. Your grandma, as an elderlydy who is defenseless, was her best target. She also did it to get revenge on Miao Zheng, whos been torturing her the whole time.


    The look in Nian Juntings eyes turned colder and colder. Zhong Yi was so evil. She had done all this to herself, yet she med Luosang. There is one strange thing, Nian Junting said after a short silence. Miao Zheng abused her so brutally. I dont think normal women could live with that, so why didnt she leave him?


    There are still some doubtful points about the case. Captain Xiao nodded and said, Also, we n to talk to Miss Xu.

 Chapter 584. But that Shouldnt Be the Reason Why He Should Marry Her

    Chapter 584. But that Shouldn''t Be the Reason Why He Should Marry Her


    Nian Junting looked grim. Why do you have to get her? She wasnt even present tonight. She knows nothing about what happened.


    Im sorry, Mr. Nian. ording to the suspect, her motive was to seek revenge on your girlfriend, so Captain Xiao shrugged. Its the olddys birthday today. There were important military personnel present as well as entrepreneurs and leaders of various fields. I was instructed by my superior to investigate the case thoroughly. Although Zhong Yi is no longer as popr as before, she is still a public figure. I am sure there will be many reporters and paparazzi at the door tomorrow.


    Nian Junting frowned. He understood that they had a protocol to follow, and he couldnt make thempromise. He walked to the door before he turned to say, As a public citizen, I think its necessary to provide some information. I saw Miao Zheng and Zhong Yi outside a few days ago. He was kicking and beating her in public. Coupled with the injuries on her body, I strongly suspect that he has abusive habits. If he hadnt pushed her to the edge, I dont think she would have gone to this extreme.


    Mr. Nian, if Miao Zheng insists that both parties were willing, and everything was done after consent, we cant do anything if Zhong Yi doesnt wish to press charges. We can only charge him with a minor offense, Captain Xiao said helplessly.


    Captain Xiao had mentioned this before. Nian Junting was out of ideas, too. He thought about how Miao Zheng shirked all responsibilities at the hospital and felt the rage boiling inside him again. He called Lu Kang. Let the media know that the CEO of Bingyang Group, Miao Zheng, has been abusing Zhong Yi. Im sure the reporters will be able to find concrete evidence sooner orter.


    Lu Kang said, Your Second Uncle is a shareholder of Bingyang Group. He will surely suffer financial losses if we leak this information.


    I am not only going to cause the stocks to drop, but I am also going to ruin the entirepany. Miao Zheng will never stand again, Nian Junting said angrily. He hung up and checked his phone. He had many missed calls. Some were from Nian Qingyun, and some were from Nian Xi and Luosang. Luosang had called him at around six oclock. It had been too noisy at the banquet then, and he hadnt heard it.


    He dialed her back, but there was no response. He figured she would be in the studio, and he knew she switched her phone to silent mode every time she went to work. He had no choice but to send her a message instead. Call me back once you see this. I have something important to talk to you about.


    He drove back to the hospital promptly. Grandma Nian was at the hospital, and Leng Shuangwei was there, too. After saving his grandma, he couldnt leave them there.


    Leng Shuangwei was admitted to the ICU ward, and Nian Junting wasnt allowed inside. He could only watch her from afar, through the ss window. She was hooked up to a venttor and multiple IVs, still unconscious.


    His heart was heavy. Although he no longer liked Leng Shuangwei, they were still childhood friends who had grown up together. If not for her, he would have lost his grandma this time.


    He felt sorry and guilty about the fact that she was in such a state now, and that she might not be able to have her own children in the future, but that shouldnt be the reason why he should marry her.


    Outside the ward, it was only Nian Xi and Jiang Qifei. They were sitting on opposite ends of the bench. Jiang Qifei was sobbing and muttering to herself, My poor daughter, what will she do if she cant get pregnant for the rest of her life?


    Brother, the police just came to take Miao Zheng away. Nian Xi stood up and whispered, Uncle Leng is at the police station, too.


    Nian Junting nodded. Where is everyone else? Why are you alone?

 Chapter 585. He Was Rarely So Serious, Unless There Was Something Important

    Chapter 585. He Was Rarely So Serious, Unless There Was Something Important


    Grandpa is old, so he went home. Its a little inconvenient for Dad to be in here, too. Nian Xi nced at Jiang Qifei, then continued, Uncle is downstairs, taking care of Grandma. Someone from the Nian family should stay here.


    Nian Junting understood. Anyhow, Leng Shuangwei waspletely innocent. She didnt even know Zhong Yi. As a member of the armed police corp, risking her own life to protect civilians was her duty. But this time, the person that she had risked her life to save was a member of the Nian family.


    Nian Xi sighed. This was supposed to be a great day. I cant believe all this has happened. I dont know how Shuangwei will react when she wakes up. She is strong, but I doubt she can ept the fact that shell never be able to bear a child. That is really a nightmare for women.


    Still, they cant make me marry her, Nian Junting said impatiently in a low voice.


    I guess Grandpa just felt that our family owes Uncle Leng, Nian Xi said. Uncle Leng got divorced because of what happened between our father and Aunty Jiang. Grandpa has been feeling sorry for Uncle Leng, as he thinks he has failed to educate his son well. And now, this happened. Shuangwei likes you the most, so he cant possibly make our cousin marry her. So, with no other choice, he wants you to Plus, Zhong Yi attacked Grandma tonight because of Sangsang. Now, the whole family thinks this happened because of you. Eh, you and Sangsang havent gotten married yet, but Grandpa already has an awful impression of her.


    Our uncle is responsible for this, too. Miao Zheng was his guest, and Zhong Yi was with Miao Zheng, said Nian Junting in a deep voice.


    The problem is, Zhong Yi called Sangsangs name in front of so many people. Nian Xi shook her head and said, Shes such an evil woman. She did all this to herself, but in the end, she mes Sangsang for everything. She lives a miserable life now, so shes tired of living, but still, she tried to drag Sangsang into her troubles and make the Nian family tear you two apart.


    This is not so simple. There should be some other reasons, said Nian Junting in aplicated tone. Zhong Yi is no longer a star. Why did she destroy herself by trying to hurt Luosang? Its not worthwhile for her to do so, unless her life is worse than nothing.


    Nian Xi paused briefly and said, The police said that shes been using drugs. Drug users tend to have drastic personality changes and mental problems.


    Why would she suddenly start using drugs? Nian Junting turned and asked, Does it have something to do with Yi Jingxi?


    Nian Xi paused with a shudder of horror.


    I think the police will talk to Luosangter. You go and find her at her apartment, Nian Junting said. Im a little worried about her.


    What about you? Nian Xi asked.


    Ill stay here for now. Everyone believes that this happened because of me. If Im absent on the first night, peoplell have even moreints about me, he said with a bitter smile.


    Dont worry. Even though Grandpa wants you to marry Shuangwei, Mom will never agree. You marrying Shuangwei means that Mom and Jiang Qifei would be inws. I dont even dare tell Mom about all this. Im afraid that shell be so pissed off when she knows. This will be a protracted war that cant possibly end in just a few days. Nian Xi sighed, then left the hospital.


    At midnight, Luosang finished work and came out of the recording studio.


    Its the first time that Mr. Nian hasnte to pick you up. Feng Chengughed.


    Luosang was a little surprised, too. Earlier, Nian Junting said that hed be free after the dinner party and that hede to pick her up. She guessed that something might have kept him.


    Tonight is his grandmas birthday party. While speaking, she took out her phone and saw Nian Juntings message, then looked confused. She had rarely seen Nian Junting use such serious words, unless there was something important.

 Chapter 586. Would He Leave Her?

    Chapter 586. Would He Leave Her?


    After getting in the taxi, Luosang called him back. Nian Juntings voice was low. Youre done?


    Yup. You said there was something important?


    Nian Junting was silent for a while before answering her. The police mighte looking for youter.


    Luosang was shocked. Her head was in a whirlwind. She didnt recall doing anything illegal.


    Tonight, at my grandmas birthday banquet, the CEO of Bingyang Group brought Zhong Yi along to the party. When my grandma went to the washroom, Zhong Yi attacked her with a knife. She has been arrested, and she ims that she did all of it because you are my girlfriend, and she wanted to get revenge on you. She didnt want you to be happy, and she wants my family to hate you.


    What? Luosang had goosebumps all over as she listened to him. She had been busy going about her own perfectly normal day. How is your grandma?


    Shes alright. She just sprained her foot. But Nian Junting paused before continuing, Leng Shuangwei was in the bathroom, too, and she was stabbed in the abdomen. Shes in the ICU now.


    Luosangs heart dropped. Is she in danger now?


    Her condition has stabilized. I asked Nian Xi to go overter when the policee looking for you, he exined. I have to stay here. My grandma is still here, and Leng Shuangwei is hurt from protecting my family.


    I understand. Luosangs mind was a mess now. She felt uneasy, and she had so many questions on her mind that she didnt know where to start. She finally spoke after a long while. Junting, why did this happen? Did she really go after your family because of me?


    Dont let your imagination run wild. The police said that she was on drugs. She had all sorts of wounds on her, too. She had probably been abused by Miao Zheng. Her heart is already twisted. Dont worry, we will find out the truth, Nian Juntingforted her. Ill see you tomorrow.


    Ok. She put down her phone, and her mind eased a little. Zhong Yis deed would probably make the Nian family detest her further. The entire family would also be grateful to Leng Shuangwei foring to Grandma Nians aid. They would be touched by her heroic act, and Nian Junting would be touched, too.


    Would he leave her because of Leng Shuangweis sacrifice? Luosang felt uneasy again as she thought about it. She thought that once she cleared her fathers name, the Nian family would be more epting of her. Would it be as simple as that now? She didnt understand why Zhong Yi had to do this to her.


    When she emerged from the condominiums elevator, the police had already been waiting for a while. Nian Xi was there, too, talking to them.


    Miss Xu, we are from the Criminal Investigation Department. Captain Xiao produced his identification. We have to talk to you regarding a case.


    Sang, dont worry. You didnt do anything wrong. You just have to answer his questions truthfully, Nian Xi assured her quickly.


    Junting already told me on my way back. Luosang looked at Captain Xiao. Can you take me to Zhong Yi? I have a few questions for her, too. I want to ask her why she just wouldnt let me off. She said that I caused her great misery. I want to ask her what great misery she is referring to.


    Alright, Captain Xiao nodded.

 Chapter 587. Junting and I Love Each Other Deeply, We Wont Break Up Easily

    Chapter 587. Junting and I Love Each Other Deeply, We Won''t Break Up Easily


    But your conversation will be recorded by the police, Captain Xiao added.


    Sure. Luosang had done nothing wrong, so she had nothing to fear.


    On their way to the police station, Captain Xiao quickly exined Zhong Yis current situation to Luosang again. It was already one oclock in the morning when she saw Zhong Yi. The pale light poured straight down onto Zhong Yis face. It made her scrawny face look fierce and grim. Her red coat was stained with blood.


    Was that Leng Shuangweis blood?


    Luosang couldnt imagine how dangerous the situation was.


    Zhong Yi looked at her with strong hatred. Luosang, I knew youde. Are you anxious and scared now? Hah, I tried to kill Nian Juntings grandma. Lets see if the Nian family will ept you now.


    Luosang knocked on the table while asking angrily, Zhong Yi, if youre really unhappy because of me, why didnt you juste to kill me? How can you attack an olddy? Do you still have humanity and conscience?


    Zhong Yi sneered. If I killed you, your troubles would end. Whats fun about that? I want you to live and suffer. Youve made your way back into the voice acting circle, youre capable enough to fight Yi Jingxi, and youre close with Ji Nuanyi. Youre living a better life, and thats because you have hooked up with Nian Junting. Once you lose him, youll turn back to your original self. Also, Miao Zheng brought me to that party. The Nian family is so powerful, they surely wont let Miao Zheng get away with it. I hurt Nian Juntings grandma, so the Nian family will hurt Miao Zheng. Only the Nian family can hurt him.


    Luosang understood. Zhong Yi was trying to kill two birds with one stone.


    You could have left Miao Zheng, if you cannot stand him. Why did you stay with him to suffer all the torment? Is it because of money? Luosang said coldly, Youve only spent a few years in the entertainment industry, but I assume you made a lot of money already. Even though you needed to pay the penalties for all the canceled advertisements, you should have millions left, at least. Thats enough for you to live a life. People should be content. Think about your family. Besides, many people have lived great lives after they left the entertainment business.


    You think I want to be like this? Its all because of you! Its because you sent the recording to Yi Jingxi! Zhong Yi suddenly pped the table and burst out screaming. She almost lost control of herself, so the nearby female officer hurriedly pressed her down.


    She lowered her head and started crying. I feel as if Im living like a ghost. My life is even worse than death. Im alive, but Im in so much pain that I wish I was dead. I followed Yi Jingxi for such a long time, but because of you, he showed me no mercy. You think he only terminated the contract and forced me out of the business after you gave him that recording? Youre wrong. That was only the beginning. His people gave me drugs. Ive spent all my money on drugs, and I cant control myself.


    Luosang was stunned. She didnt expect Zhong Yis drug addition to have something to do with Yi Jingxi.


    And he hired all kinds of nasty people to harass me endlessly. Zhong Yiughed bitterly. Wherever I was, those people found me. Even when I was at home, they knocked my door in the middle of the night. Some people sent me weird packages. I was locked in a bathroom when I was shopping. Every time I went out at night, those people found me and molested me. Me, a star, was stripped and bullied by a bunch of rowdies. Do you know how miserable I was? That was a nightmare.


    Luosang couldnt think of a word to say for a long time.


    The more Zhong Yi talked, the angrier she got. Theres negative news about me all over the inte. Everyone hates me. Every day, I could only stay at home. But, I cant control my drug addiction. I needed drugs, and I needed money. I had no choice but to be with Miao Zheng, who used to pursue me. Hes rich and powerful, so he saved me from Yi Jingxi. He gives me money, too. However, he turned out to be an even scarier monster than Yi Jingxi. He took nude photos of me. He forced me to be like a prostitute. In bed, he never treated me like a person. He liked to whip me, burn me with candles, and tie me and hang me up. I tried to run, but he threatened me with the nude photos. I cant quit taking drugs, either. Everyone in the business is afraid of him. So, I had no choice but to go back to him again and again.


    If I left him, Id have to face Yi Jingxi. I ran away from Yi Jingxi, but couldnt run away from Miao Zheng. I tried to endure all this, but he keeps making it worse and worse. He vented his anger on me every time he was in a bad mood. Zhong Yiughed in a cold and creepy voice. That time I saw you, Nian Junting, Director Tang, and the others in the restaurant Look at you, how pretty and morous. Nian Junting cares about you so much. What about me? I was with Miao Zheng, an ugly monster whos old enough to be my father. Its not fair. I hate you so much, so I came up with this perfect n. I knew that Miao Zheng was going to attend the olddys birthday party, so I begged him to bring me with him. I begged for a long time. If I killed the olddy, the Nian family would definitely make Miao Zheng suffer, and Nian Junting would feel awful every time he saw you. He would regret it, and he would wonder why he was with you, because if he wasnt, his grandma would still be alive. Such a perfect n. I could kill two birds with one stone. However, I missed. A bloody b*tch who came out of nowhere stopped me.


    Once she finished her speech, Zhong Yi lost her temper, raised her arms, and attempted to pounce on Luosang. The police officer beside her hurriedly pressed her back down.


    Zhong Yi, I, too, have been through what you just said, including being harassed and being locked in a bathroom. You did all those things to me, but I never became like you, said Luosang calmly.


    Yes. I hired people to do those things to you. Yi Jingxi found out, so he did the same to me, only a hundred times worse. I wouldnt have be like this if he hadnt gotten me into drugs, Zhong Yi said sadly.


    Wasnt it Yi Jingxi who did those things to me? Luosang was shocked.


    Xu Luosang, why are you always so happy? You had your father, then Yi Jingxi, and now you have Nian Junting. Zhong Yis cold face was filled with hatred. I curse you. I want you to never be happy again.


    Luosang felt that Zhong Yi waspletely unreasonable, so she slowly stood up and said, Zhong Yi, youre lucky that you didnt actually kill anyone this time. Just quit taking drugs. Youre still young, after all. Even if you have to stay in prison for over ten years, youll still have a chance to start a new life when you get out.


    Stop faking, said Zhong Yi through clenched teeth.


    I will be happy. Junting and I love each other deeply. We wont break up easily. Even if we do break up, Ill still be content with being in love with him once. Luosang stood up and slowly walked out.


    I curse you! I hope Nian Junting abandons you, and I hope your dad spends the rest of his life in prison! Zhong Yi screamed hysterically.


    As the door slowly shut, Luosang closed her eyes. Nian Xi walked over, gently patted her on the shoulder, and said, Its clear now. Miao Zheng and Yi Jingxi are the reason why Zhong Yi became like this.


    We will arrest Miao Zheng right now, said Captain Xiao. As for Yi Jingxi, we will start an investigation on him. Thank you, Miss Xu.

 Chapter 588. Luosang Was Shocked. She Looked at Nian Xi in a Daze.

    Chapter 588. Luosang Was Shocked. She Looked at Nian Xi in a Daze.


    After emerging from the police station, Nian Xi sighed. It wont be difficult to nab Miao Zheng. Her wounds and various photos of them in public are evidence of his misdoings. It might be difficult to collect evidence against Yi Jingxi, though It has been so long. In conclusion, neither of them will be charged with anything major. Things between the Nian family and the Leng family wont be so simple, of course.


    Luosang nodded. That was Zhong Yis intention. Everyone knew that clearly, but no one was willing to let things go. The world is so unfair, Luosang said bitterly. Why do I have to pay for the crimes that Yi Jingximitted? What have I done wrong?


    Zhong Yi is the problem here, Nian Xi said. Jealousy is a demon. She haspletely lost her senses because of it. She didnt care to consider the fact that she was in the wrong in the first ce. She was only receiving her due karma.


    Xi, thank goodness Leng Shuangwei was there this time. If anything happened to your grandma, I would surely have to end my rtionship with Junting, Luosang said with relief. I should thank her.


    Nian Xis lips twitched. She almost told her about the fact the Leng Shuangwei would never be able to get pregnant in the future, but she stopped herself. She couldnt bring herself to tell Luosang. Luosang was already vexed. She would only bring her more trouble if she told her that now. Besides, her brother might have found a solution already. Lets go. Ill take you back.


    Its alright, Ill take a taxi home myself. You must be tired, too Before Luosang could finish, someone called out to Nian Xi. When she turned, she saw Jiang Qifei walking towards them. Her eyes were red.


    Nian Xi froze before stuttering, Aunty Jiang, what are you doing here? Why arent you staying in the hospital with Shuangwei?


    I heard from the police that Xu Luosang was here, so I had toe take a look at that wretch. Shuangwei wont be awake anytime soon. Junting is there by her side, too. Jiang Qifei turned to look at Luosang. She found her extremely familiar looking.


    Oh. Nian Xi nodded. She grabbed Luosangs hand and hinted for her not to speak. Go on in, then.


    Jiang Qifei nodded. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned as if she had recalled something. Xi, I remember bumping into you two at the mallst time. What did you call her then? Sang? Is she Xu Luosang?


    Nian Xi licked her lips nervously, but Luosang didnt want to lie to her anymore. Yes, I am Xu Luosang.


    You, you! Jiang Qifeis expression changed, and she pointed her shaking finger at Luosang. You are the reason why my daughter is in the hospital. She lost control and started whacking Luosangs head with her handbag.


    Nian Xi grabbed Luosang and backed away. She went forward and pulled Jiang Qifei away and shouted to Luosang, Leave now.


    Luosangs heart sank. Didnt you say didnt you say that Miss Leng was no longer in danger?


    Aunty, can you please calm down? You can go to the police to find out more. Luosang is a victim, too, Nian Xi said quickly before Jiang Qifei could say anything else.


    Victim? Jiang Qifei shouted angrily. How is she a victim? Shes not hurt at all! Shuangwei is alive, but she lost her chance of ever bing a mother. Her uterus was injured. She will never be pregnant.


    Luosang was shocked. She looked at Nian Xi in a daze. Is that true?


    Nian Xi looked like she was caught in an ufortable position. Sang, I told you its not your fault. Its Miao Zheng and Yi Jingxis fault.

 Chapter 589. Does the Nian Family Think That Im Dead?

    Chapter 589. Does the Nian Family Think That I''m Dead?


    Nian Xi, how can you say something like that? No matter what, Shuangwei is your friend. You two grew up together. Jiang Qifei clenched her fist before her chest as her eyes filled with tears.


    Xu Luosang, she pointed at Luosang and continued, ask yourself this. If that psychopath didnt hate you, would she have attacked Nian Juntings grandmother at her birthday party? She did that because youre in a rtionship with Nian Junting. You started this, but innocent people got hurt.


    Luosang had so many thoughts in her mind that she didnt even know what to say. She was a woman, too. She put herself in Leng Shuangweis position and felt that if she had lost her ability to be a mother, half of the meaning of her life would be gone. These days, no man would want to marry an infertile woman, except those who had gotten divorced and already had children.


    If you still have a little bit of conscience, just break up with Junting. Nian Juntings grandfather has given his word. Junting will take responsibility for what happened and will marry Shuangwei, Jiang Qifei carried on.


    Her short speech shocked Luosang like thunder. Luosang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cer. She thought that Zhong Yi had only made the Nian family hate her, but the consequences turned out to be much more serious than that.


    Sangsang, dont worry. My brother didnt agree, Nian Xi hurriedly said to Luosang, as thetter seemed to even lose her soul.


    Aunty Jiang, I believe that Shuangwei wouldnt agree with your decision if she was awake, said Nian Xi with a serious look. She does like my brother, but she wouldnt marry him in such a way. She is an armed policewoman, and she used to be a soldier. Risking her own life to protect civilians under dangerous situations is a part of her duties.


    Nian Xi, what you said broke my heart. Jiang Qifeis entire body was shaking.


    Also, my mother will never agree. After what you and my dad did, you want to be inws with my mom? Are you kidding? As for Shuangwei, our Nian family will be responsible for the rest of her life but not in this way. After saying that, Nian Xi dragged Luosang out and left


    In the car, Lusoang buried her face between her thighs. Jiang Qifei had said one correct thing. Leng Shuangwei was innocent. She herself was indeed part of the reason why Zhong Yi had done that.


    Sangsang, dont worry. Nian Xi called Murong Cheng while talking to Luosang.


    You bad girl. Why are you calling me sote at night? I was sleeping. Murong Chengs sleepy voice was heard.


    Mom, its about something important. Grandpa wants my brother to marry Leng Shuangwei. Nian Xi hurriedly told her mother about what happened.


    After hearing what she said, Murong Cheng waspletely awake. Are you saying that the Nian family now wants Jiang Qifei and me to be inws?


    Um yes, said Nian Xi.


    Do they think that Im dead? Do they think that our Murong family is a bunch of pushovers? Murong Cheng sounded infuriated. I hate Jiang Qifei, and this hatred will continue after Im dead. Im going to the Nian family right now.


    Mom, its about three oclock in the morning. I think you should do it tomorrow morning. People are sleeping right now. Theres no need to rush, Nian Xi said.


    How can I possibly go back to sleep? Murong Cheng couldnt help but raise her voice. Im so pissed off now.


    Alright, alright, but even the guards at the Nian familys home are probably sleeping now. No one will answer the door when you get there, Nian Xi said.


    Okay then, Ill go tomorrow morning at dawn, and Ill bring my parents with me, said Murong Cheng. Tell Sangsang not to worry. If they want Junting to marry Leng Shuangwei, they will have to step over my dead body.

 Chapter 590. Nian Xi Said that Your Thoughts Might Run Wild

    Chapter 590. Nian Xi Said that Your Thoughts Might Run Wild


    See. Nian Xi waved her smartphone around and said with delight, Dont worry, my mother would never ept that. My mom will protect you.


    Luosang felt a littleforted. At least there were people on her side. But she couldnt bring herself to smile at the thought of Leng Shuangwei. What about Leng Shuangwei What about the rest of her life? Luosang stuttered, If I was not with your brother, perhaps all this wouldnt have happened, and she wouldnt have gotten injured.


    At the mention of Leng Shuangwei, Nian Xi felt bad, too. They had all grown up together, after all. Although she was jealous of her because of Ji Chuan, she knew that Shuangwei never fancied Ji Chuan that way. She did sacrifice herself to save her grandma, too.


    Sang, you must understand that my brother and Shuangwei are in the past now. If he was forced to marry her to express his gratitude, he would never be happy for the rest of his life. My brother has a problem there. Shuangwei will have to be alone for the rest of her life. Thats not fair to her, either, Nian Xi said.


    Luosang agreed with her, but she couldnt shake off the guilt. Back at the apartment, sheid in bed and tossed and turned. She just couldnt fall asleep. When it was finally light outside, she heard a knock at the door.


    She quickly opened the door, and Nian Junting was standing in the doorway. She could tell that he hadnt slept the entire night. His clothes were creased, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He was carrying a few bags of food.


    Why are you here so early, Junting? Luosang felt bad when she saw how tired he looked.


    Nian Xi said that your thoughts might run wild, so I came over early. Nian Junting walked into the apartment and closed the door. He put the breakfast down and looked down at her face. She didnt look like she had had a proper rest, either.


    You didnt sleep well? Nian Junting lifted her small face. Even though his woman looked beautiful even with dark eye circles, he couldnt bear the thought of her having insomnia.


    How could I sleep? Luosang grimaced. How are Leng Shuangwei and your grandma?


    My grandma will be dischargedter. Nian Junting reached out and hugged her. Shuangwei isnt awake yet, but she will be. She hasnt pulled through the critical phase.


    I thought she wasnt in danger anymore. Luosang lifted her chin off of his sturdy chest and looked at him.


    She took a stab to her abdomen, after all. Although she isnt in mortal danger now, it will take her a while to slowly recover. The doctors are monitoring her constantly. Nian Junting frowned.


    Luosang looked at him for a while. She could sense his annoyance that he was trying to hide from her. She finally asked, She really cant get pregnant in the future?


    Nian Junting grunted and confirmed it, saying, That has got nothing to do with you.


    How has it got nothing to do with me? Luosang pushed him away. Her eyes were filled with sorrow. Zhong Yi was out there to hurt me, but she hurt innocent people instead. She should have stabbed me instead.


    Its all Miao Zhengs fault. If he hadnt abused her, she wouldnt have been so extreme. Nian Junting grabbed her shoulders tightly. His face was ash-gray. If you really want to pinpoint the me, it should be Yi Jingxis fault. Its got nothing to do with you. Dont forget how deeply they hurt you in the past.


    Ever since I got together with Yi Jingxi, everyone around me kept getting hurt. My dad, me, Professor Ma. Atst, when I met you, I thought my life had taken a turn for the better. You shielded me from all sorts of things, but look at how things turned out now. I put you through this. Luosang buried her face in his chest and said, Its Zhong Yi this time, but it might be Yi Jingxi going berserk next time.

 Chapter 591. You Managed to Be on the Same Side with Your Future Mother-in-Law So Quickly

    Chapter 591. You Managed to Be on the Same Side with Your Future Mother-in-Law So Quickly


    How can I possibly let the same thing happen twice? Nian Junting didnt agree with her.


    Last night, I was thinking about what might have happened if Zhong Yi had hurt your grandma. Any carelessness may result in your grandmas death because of her age. If that had actually happened, we might really not be able to stay together. Luosang was very upset.


    Nian Junting never feared a thing in his life, but at that very moment, Luosangs words terrified him. To be honest, other women may not have been able to stop Zhong Yi like how Leng Shuangwei had. Also for that reason, he felt badly about what had happened to Leng Shuangwei.


    Junting, we are staying together, but what should Leng Shuangwei do? Luosang said in a hushed voice, I think I owe her.


    Do you want me to pay her back with myself? Nian Junting was a little unhappy about what she had just said. Do I need to make it up to her with my own happiness because she saved my grandma? If you have to put it that way, I think you should be with Leng Shuangwei. After all, you should take the main responsibility for what happened.


    Luosang was a little speechless. A whileter, she said, Im a girl. Do you want us to be lesbians?


    Well, lesbians can marry legally in some countries. Nian Junting raised his brows and said, You owe a debt. You cant make me pay your debt. Its unfair. In some ways, Im a victim, too.


    I Luosang moved her pink lips but actually failed to say one word to disagree. He was a victim, indeed.


    You see, even my grandma is hurt because of you. I didnt sleepst night, so you need to make it up to me. After saying that, Nian Junting kissed Luosangs lips and bit her gently, as if punishing her.


    Luosang was tired. Nian Juntings bite made her lips sting slightly, then he invaded her mouth with his tongue, starting a long and wet kiss. Luosangs body went limp. She put her arms around Nian Juntings muscr waist.


    When Nain Juntings phone rang, she pushed him, as if awakening from a dream. Get the call. It must be something important.


    Nian Junting gave her another gentle bite, as he was not satisfied, then answered the call.


    Murong Chengs voice was immediately heard. Im on my way to the Nian family. Im going to sort things out with your father. Get over here now. If your father and I pick a fight, you need to be here to help me. Your grandparents are too old to fight.


    Nian Junting nced at his watch, then responded, Its only around six. Do you have to go there so early?


    Ive been awake since midnight. Im too angry to sleep, because the Nian family actually wants me to be inws with Jiang Qifei, Murong Cheng said. I had you so you can fight for me when I need help. Otherwise, why would I give birth to you?


    Im so handsome and smart, but you had me only because you want someone to fight for you when you need help, Nian Junting thought. Talk peacefully. A physical fight is not necessary, he said.


    I will try peaceful means before resorting to force. Itll depend on their attitude. After saying that, Murong Cheng hung up.


    Just go. Luosang hastened Nian Junting. In case your mom might have some problems.


    You managed to be on the same side with your mother-inw so quickly. Thats impressive. Nian Junting touched her nose, then snorted coldly and left.


    When he arrived at the Nian familys house, Murong Cheng was already there. Murong Ze and Yu Wen were there, too. They didnt like Luosang so much, but they were infuriated when they heard that the Nian family wanted Nian Junting to marry Leng Shuangwei. They even skipped their morning jog and headed straight to the Nian family.

 Chapter 592. Have You Consulted Junting?

    Chapter 592. Have You Consulted Junting?


    Murong Ze said unceremoniously to the old man, Nian Changzhang, I think youve be sillier and sillier. Have you forgotten what indecent things your son has done? He betrayed my daughter, and now you want my grandson to marry Jiang Qifeis daughter? What a crappy idea. I am not dead yet. I wont allow it to happen.


    Calm down, Murong. The old man was embarrassed. I also hate Jiang Qifei, but her daughter is innocent. Dont forget, you liked her back then, too. She is Leng Zhes daughter, after all. My infuriating son caused Leng Zhe to divorce. Ive always felt bad towards him. Now that Leng Shuangwei can never be pregnant again because she saved my old wife, I owe it to them. The culprit also said that she did it out of revenge for Xu Luosang.


    Yeah, you owe it to the Leng family, but youre not going topensate them with my grandson. Murong Ze was furious. Did you ever consider my daughters position when you made such a decision? Have you consulted Junting?


    Murong Cheng stood up and said to Nian Qingyun, Youve gone to bed with your future inw. How could you agree to such a shameful arrangement? You are so shameless. Why dont you marry the mother-inw instead?


    Nian Qingyuns anger bubbled after hearing what she said. Cheng, dont be ridiculous. Do you think I wanted this to happen? Its all because your son is dating Xu Luosang! All the guests present heard it loud and clear. The culprit came after us because of her. You werent there to witness the viciousness of the crime.


    Murong Ze raised his hands. Alright, dont call us unreasonable folks. I called the police station earlier. The reason why the perpetrator actedst night was partly because of Miao Zheng. Miao Zheng is your second sons business partner. He was the one who brought the girl to the party yesterday. You are the unreasonable one for pushing all the me on Xu Luosang. The responsibility should be shouldered equally. How can you ask my grandson to marry her? Dont you have another grandson, Nian Junlei? You can ask him to marry her instead. That chap is good-looking and capable as well. He is the perfect match for the Leng family.


    Thats right. Yu Wen agreed. The son should pay for his fathers mistakes.


    Grandpa Murong, I have a girlfriend already. Cousin Nian Junlei was shocked. Dont joke around like that please.


    You have a girlfriend, so does our Junting! Murong Ze crossed his legs.


    How can Juntings girlfriendpare to Junleis? She is from a much more respectable family, Nian Qingyun interjected.


    Murong Ze mmed the table angrily. Xu Luosang is from a respectable family, too!


    How can it be the same? Xu Luosangs father is in jail. He is in the spotlight for a scandal, Nian Qingyun said. The culprit yesterday also said that she used to date Xu Luosangs ex-fianc. What a mess. I dont even want to talk about it.


    Murong Cheng grabbed a cup on the table and sshed it on him. You have the cheek to talk about someone else. What about the mess you made?


    You can just speak. You dont have to resort to violence, Nian Qingyun shouted angrily.


    Alright, alright, stop quarreling. Grandpa Nian banged his cane on the ground. Its not that I wont let Junlei marry Shuangwei, its that she wouldnt want that. She has always liked Junting.

 Chapter 593. His Grandson Was Really Sharp-Tongued

    Chapter 593. His Grandson Was Really Sharp-Tongued


    Yeah. Nian Juntings uncle hurriedly nodded. Im partially responsible for what happenedst night. So, as long as Shuangwei wants to marry Junting, Ill agree. I have to thank her for saving my mothers life.


    Bullsh*t! Murong Ze was so angry that he even cursed out loud. Nian Changzhang, years ago, you couldnt stop apologizing to me. You said that your Nian family owes our Murong family. All these years, youve always said that youll make peace between Nian Qingyun and Cheng, but the decision that youre making now shows no respect to us. I dont want to waste more time talking to you. Since Im here now, Im gonna tell you about two of my decisions. First, we wont let Junting marry Leng Shuangwei. Second, tell Nian Qingyun to get a divorce from my daughter. The divorce has been postponed for seven or eight years. We dont want to wait any longer.


    No. Nian Qingyuns expression changed. I wont get divorced.


    What do you want, then? Youre already so sure that you want to be inws with Jiang Qifei, Murong Cheng said sarcastically.


    Cheng, I made a mistake back then. I was wrong. But in the past eight years, Ive never done a thing to hurt you. I know that I was wrong, pleasee back. Nian Qingyun said, If you dont want Junting to marry Shuangwei, we can talk about it and find a solution.


    Are you threatening me now? Murong Cheng sneered with anger. Im telling you, Nian Qingyun, we dont get to decide who Junting and Nian Xi are gonna marry. As their parents, we can only give them our advice. They wont be spending the rest of their lives with us but with their partners. Therefore, they need to choose the people that they like and that theyre satisfied with. I dont want them to make that same mistake that I made. Youve ruined my life. Im over fifty now, and I dont want to waste any more time on you. I need to start looking for my own happiness. You should sign that divorce agreement. Dont make me sue you for divorce.


    Nian Qingyuns breath was ragged for a moment. He tried his best to calm down, then responded, Stop kidding. As you just said, youre over fifty. Why do you want to be with another man? We can spend the rest of our lives together, and well be happy, wont we? If you sued me, the news might spread, and my career might be affected. It wouldnt be good for Nian Xi and Junting, either.


    Junting, you talk. Murong Cheng pointed at Nian Junting, who was watching from the side.


    I dont care, he responded ndly. I was young when that thing happened. Now, Ive built my career already. As for Nian Xi, since she has chosen to be a police officer, she needs to make efforts for her future career. If she does a good job, she may get promotions or a transfer to a better department, and if she fails to do the job, she could simply spend the rest of her life having fun. Mom is rich enough to let her do anything she wants, anyway.


    How can you want your parents to get a divorce? Nian Qingyun clenched his teeth. How can you be such an awful son?


    You want me to marry Shuangwei without thinking about my feelings, so why would I think about your feelings? said Nian Junting carelessly. Besides, Mom is right. You cheated on her. Youve already wasted eight years of her life. How many years does she have left? Just forget it. You guys would have gotten back together long ago if you still could. Clearly, Mom doesnt want you anymore. In fact, I understand her. Who would want a man that has been used by her best friend?


    Murong Ze took a sip of tea, as the talking made him tired. But hearing what Nian Junting said, he spit out the tea. His grandson was really sharp-tongued.


    You! Nian Qingyun shivered with anger.


    And you can marry again, too. Murong Cheng gave a cold smile. Jiang Qifei is single now. I dont mind if you two get back together. Didnt you say that shes gentle and sweet, and that shes so good in many different ways? Your happiness is in your own hands. Just go and fight for it.

 Chapter 594. Dad, If You Feel Shortchanged, Just Marry Leng Shuangweis Mother.

    Chapter 594. Dad, If You Feel Shortchanged, Just Marry Leng Shuangwei''s Mother.


    You mean to make me angry. Nian Qingyun chuckled bitterly. Chengcheng, Im in the wrong. Lets not go back and forth on this. Come back to me. We can still be the family we once were.


    Yes, Grandpa Nian echoed. Even if you find another man, the two of you will still have to get through your differences. Many peoplee to regret their divorce only after remarrying.


    Indeed, Second Uncle Nian agreed hastily.


    Nian Junting said coolly, Arent you all here to discuss my wedding matters? Why are we talking about my mother?


    Were killing two birds with one stone, Murong Ze said. The financial scientist courting your mother seems like a good suitor. Hes talented, younger, more caring, and more dashing than your father. Importantly, he has been courting her for a few years. Your mother should not stay single forever.


    She isnt divorced. Nian Qingyun was furious. Murong Ze, youre betraying our marriage. Whats so good about a financial scientist? Hes probably sly and cunning. Dont be conned by him.


    Im a person of principle, unlike you. I dont want to waste my time arguing with you. Ill be sending over the documents for our divorce soon. You have two choices, either we go to court to settle this, or you can just sign your name on the documents. Lets not blow up this affair and draw the publics attention. Im sure itll do no good to your reputation. Im not joking this time. As soon as Murong Cheng finished her sentence, she got up and said, Dad, Mom, lets go.


    As the three of them reached the door, Murong Ze turned and said, Nian Changzhang, if you insist on my grandson marrying Leng Shuangwei, it has to go through me. Hes my grandson, too. Dont think for a moment that just because he has your surname, his future and happiness will be in your hands. Im not dead yet.


    Murong Ze started to leave. Nian Junting stood up to catch up to them. Suddenly, he heard Grandpa Nians deep rumbling voice say, Stop there.


    Grandpa. Nian Junting turned around.


    Grandpa Nian sighed. Junting, your father wont be able to let your mother go. They have been husband and wife for more than 20 years. As a son, why dont you try to talk to your mother?


    At first, I never had the intention of convincing them to reconcile, nor did I have the intention of convincing them to get a divorce. But now that youre forcing me to marry someone I dont want to marry and taking away my happiness, I guess I cant let the lot of you be happy, either. Nian Junting shrugged.


    How could I have fathered a child like you? Nian Qingyun was so incensed that he wanted to grab a broom and hit Nian Junting.


    You contributed a single sperm, thats how. Nian Junting chuckled. Dad, if you feel shortchanged, just marry Leng Shuangweis mother. That way, Leng Shuangwei will be your daughter, and our Nian family can repay Shuangweis life-saving grace. Ill take good care of her, too.


    Second Uncle Nian was actually stunned. That sounds like a feasible idea.


    Feasible, my ass. Scram! Nian Qingyun could not listen any longer. He picked up a teacup and sent it crashing in Nian Juntings direction.


    Im going, Im going. Nian Junting ducked before scrambling for the door.


    Dad, what do you think of this Nian Qingyun looked at Grandpa Nian and noticed that he was staring at him. You cant possibly be in agreement with that scoundrel


    Grandpa Nian coughed into his fist. How can that be possible? You might as well be beaten to death by Leng Zhe. Whats important now is to patch things up with the Leng family instead of worsening the animosity. Since the Murong family does not agree, then well have to wait. As for you and Murong Cheng, I think shes made up her mind this time. Now that your children are grown up, and her work is stable, she must have nothing left to lose. Just agree to her divorce. Nothing good came of dragging it out for the past eight years, anyway. I think its hopeless.

 Chapter 595. Im Afraid that You Might Be Unhappy If I Bring Luo with Me

    Chapter 595. I''m Afraid that You Might Be Unhappy If I Bring Luo with Me


    Father, I would have divorced a long time ago if thats what I wanted. A part of Nian Qingyuns heart was frozen, because even his father had said that. If he got a divorce, Murong Cheng would really have nothing to do with him anymore.


    How dare you even say that? Why didnt you think about the consequences back then when you made the mistake? Since you do love your wife, why on earth did you cheat on her? His father pointed at his nose and yelled, Murong Chen is knowledgeable and pretty, and shes from a great family. Shes a perfect wife, yet you cheated on her!


    Nian Qingyun gave a bitter smile. He honestly regretted having done that thing. If only he could live his life again.


    Brother, think positively, said his younger brother, Nian Qingshan. I can tell that Murong Cheng is serious. Since youve been separated for such a long time, youd definitely be sentenced to divorce if she sued you. Getting a divorce would not be the worst thing. You would feel really embarrassed if your old stories were dug up.


    This is all your fault. You shouldnt be friends with someone like Miao Zheng. If you hadnt brought him to the party, Mom wouldnt have been attacked, and Dad wouldnt try to make Junting marry Shuangwei, and the Murong family wouldnt havee here to ask me to get a divorce! Nian Qingyun yelled at Nian Qingshan angrily.


    Nian Qingshan snorted and said, Did I also make your body respond to Jiang Qifei? Youll get a divorce sooner orter. Dont you me me for that.


    Alright, stop fighting. Their father gave them an angry, threatening nce before saying, Back to the topic. Since the Murong family strongly disapproves of Junting marrying Shuangwei, we cant do anything about it. However, I wont ept Xu Luosang as my granddaughter-inw. Her background is way tooplicated.


    I feel the same way. What happened to Mom really scared me, said one of Nian Juntings aunties with lingering fear. We need to figure out a way to make them break up, but Junting doesnt listen to us at all.


    Eh, well see. Whats most important now is we need to give the Leng family an exnation, or they wont let us get away with it so easily. Nian Juntings grandpa sighed.


    Nian Qingyun wore a listless look, as he was only thinking about how to rescue his marriage.


    Outside the Nian familys house, two cars were parked side by side. Nian Junting opened the window andughed. Mom, are you here to get yourself a divorce today? I didnt hear you mention that before. I was so unprepared.


    You were so helpful even though you were unprepared. What would you have done if you had been prepared? Murong Cheng gave him a nce. She was in a good mood. Thinking that she was getting a divorce, she felt great. Finally, she could start looking for her new happiness. But, Im actually here about your marriage today. Your grandfather mentioned divorce first, she added.


    I wasnt going to mention that either, but I got too angry. Murong Ze snorted coldly. They have shown our Murong family no respect at all. Why would we postpone it any longer?


    Yu Wen hurriedly leaned her head toward the window and said with a fawning tone that rarely came out of her mouth, Junting, you see, both your grandfather and I were on your side today. We tried to help you and Xu Luosang. What do you think of our performance?


    Its okay. Watching his grandmother being so careful, Nian Junting was quite satisfied. He had been giving his grandparents on his mothers side the cold shouldertely, and that seemed to have worked pretty well.


    Hearing his response, Yu Wen smiled. When will youe to Feng Garden, then? You see, you havent visited us this year.


    I want to, but Im afraid that you might be unhappy if I bring Luo with me. You guys dont like her, Nian Junting replied with a deep voice. You two arent young anymore. I cant make you ufortable. Ive thought about that. If you really cant ept her, I think Ill have no other choice but to just marry Leng Shuangwei.

 Chapter 596. This Time, My Maternal Grandparents Have Stood Up for Us

    Chapter 596. This Time, My Maternal Grandparents Have Stood Up for Us


    Ay, dont, Yu Wen said hurriedly. As much as she did have opinions about Luosang, she was still a better choice than Leng Shuangwei. It was like a thorn in her heart. Leng Shuangwei reminded Yu Wen of the hurt her own daughter had suffered. Yu Wen had treated Jiang Qifei like her own daughter when the two of them were the best of friends.


    Bring Luosang over. I wont be like I was before. Yu Wen sighed.


    Grandma, dont forget what you said. Nian Junting started to smile. Alright, you should go home. I have to go to the hospital. Grandmother is still there.


    Go, go. Murong Cheng waved her hand.


    After sending the Murong family off, Nian Junting called Luosang. My mother has cleared things up already. I will not be marrying Leng Shuangwei, rest assured.


    That was quick. Luosang was surprised.


    Yeah, my grandfather had not considered my mothers feelings when he suggested it at first. Also, my parents have decided to get a divorce, Nian Junting said. Its a good thing. Its about time they went their separate ways in search of their own happiness. This time, my maternal grandparents have stood up for us.


    Luosang heaved a sigh of relief. It was surprising that his maternal grandparents had stood on her side. After all, they used to not like her. She could not feel happy just yet, however. Tell me when Leng Shuangweies to.


    I was just about to talk about that. If she doesnt wake up, Ill have to stay in the hospital for the next few days. Nian Junting whispered, Dont be jealous then.


    How long has it been for me to still be jealous? Its only right, Luosang said. If not for the fact that Jiang Qifei detested her, Luosang would have wanted to pay Leng Shuangwei a visit at the hospital herself. Unfortunately, she would definitely not have been wee there.


    Leng Shuangwei did not regain consciousness on the second day. The incident between Miao Zheng and Zhong Yi of the Bingyang Group had now been blown up publicly. The pictures and videos of Miao Zheng abusing Zhong Yi in public were all over the inte and had ignited an uproar from theizens.


    Miao Zheng was swiftly taken in for investigation by the police. This caused the Bingyang Groups stock prices to plummet like a rock. The Bingyang Group immediately held a stockholders meeting, making the decision to dismiss Miao Zheng as the CEO and remove him from the board of directors.


    Grandma Nian stayed in hospital for three days. Although she did not sustain severe injuries, she was 80 years old. Any slight knock she suffered could have unimaginable consequences. To be on the safe side, the Nian family requested that she stay in hospital for observation for a few days.


    On the day that she was discharged, Nian Junting was helping to pack her things when she sat up and said, I hope Leng Shuangweies around soon. This child, it must have been dyed by her mother.


    It should not be long. Nian Junting put her clothes into a bag. Oh yes, Grandma, that night when Shuangwei visited the washroom, did she have something to tell you, or was it purely a coincidence?


    Grandma Nian chuckled. She was asking me about my atherosclerotic disease. We talked for a bit. It must have been deliberate. After all, your father was there where I was seated. She must have felt awkwarding over directly to me, so she decided to talk to me secretly. After all, I watched her grow up. She must have felt it inappropriate not to speak to me at all.


    Nian Junting nodded.


    Its a pity that this has happened. Grandma Nian shook her head. Actually, she would not have sustained such serious injuries if she had not continued wrestling with the attacker, unlike your Second Aunt, who ran away so quickly. I understand, nheless. Who isnt afraid to die? Im already so old, why should I burden all you young people, anyway?


    I think youll live up to a hundred at the very least, Nian Junting mused.


    Grandma Nian chuckled. Although you wont be able to marry Shuangwei, you must not forget your gratitude to Grandma as a life-saver.

 Chapter 597. Your Dad and I Are Finally Divorced. Congratulate Me!

    Chapter 597. Your Dad and I Are Finally Divorced. Congratte Me!


    I wont. Am I such an ungrateful person? Nian Junting felt very sorry, too. The medical techniques are highly developed today. Ill ask my friends who live abroad. No matter how much that might cost, Ill try my best to help her have her own children.


    Youre right, though. His grandma nodded.


    Nian Junting raised his head to look her in the eyes and opened his mouth slightly.


    Youre gonna talk about Xu Luosang, arent you? His grandma smiled.


    Grandma, Im sorry. Nian Junting lowered his head. He always acted arrogantly, but he understood that he was also partially responsible for that ident. He shouldnt have let Zhong Yi enter the hotel. That was his mistake. You dont me Luosang, too, do you?


    His grandma shook her head and sighed. Didnt you say that she did nothing wrong? Why would I me her? If Im going to me someone, I will me that evil woman. However, you must tell Luosang that there are many people with extreme personalities these days, and that she should stay away from those people.


    Grandma, I finally know where I got my kindness and generosity from. I got those from you, Nian Junting said. Why isnt my father like you at all?


    You shameless kid. Im not thick as you. His grandma shook her head and said, Your father is just a normal man. How many men in this world never think about cheating on their wives? Im just sad that he ruined his opportunity with your mother. Shes such a perfect wife. Theyre going to get a divorce today, arent they?


    Yeah. Nian Junting looked at the time, then said, I think they should be arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau by now.


    His grandma sighed sadly and said, Your mother was such a great daughter-inw. Were just not meant to be family.


    My mother is not a great daughter-inw at all. Luosang is a truly wonderful daughter-inw. My Mom cantpare with her, Nian Junting said to himself.


    As he was thinking, Murong Cheng called him. Your Dad and I are finally divorced. Congratte me. She sounded rather rxed.


    Congrattions, said Nian Junting.


    Murong Cheng couldnt help but ask, As our son, why arent you upset at all?


    Why would I be? Its not me who has just gotten a divorce, Nian Junting replied carelessly. Besides, your marriage with Nian Qingyun has resulted in me, such a perfect man. Thats kind of a small achievement. Theres nothing to regret.


    Piss off. Murong Cheng directly ended the call, regretting calling him.


    Cheng In the Civil Affairs Bureau, Nian Qingyun hurriedly caught up with Murong Cheng. Where are you going? I didnt see your car just now.


    Do I need to tell you where Im heading? We are divorced. Murong Cheng waved the divorce certification, saying, We have nothing to do with each other anymore.


    Please dont say those angry words. The words Divorce Certification made Nian Qingyun ufortable. We still have two children. We cant just cut off all contact with each other. Even though we arent a couple anymore, we can still be friends.


    Speaking of our children, lets talk about Juntings marriage. Dont you ever try to make difficulties for Luosang again, Murong Cheng warned him. Let them follow their hearts.


    Do you like Xu Luosang so much? Nian Qingyun frowned.


    The important thing is that Junting likes her. Also, I found that she was a decent person back when she was Juntings caregiver. If shes one of those scheming girls, she would have tried everything to climb into Juntings bed. But that didnt happen. Instead, she even concealed her good appearance. That kind of girl is rare nowadays. My daughter-inw only needs to be a decent person. Thats all Im asking for.


    Once Murong Cheng finished talking, an Audi parked by the road. One of the car windows was open, exposing a polite and gentle face. Cheng, are you done with the paperwork? the man asked.


    Yes. Murong Cheng smiled, then prepared to walk away. However, Nian Qingyun held her arm and stopped her.

 Chapter 598. I Might Just Share About My Happy Moments

    Chapter 598. I Might Just Share About My Happy Moments


    Who is he? Nian Qingyun asked, his face ashen-gray. The way he called out with such affection made Nian Qingyuns blood boil.


    My friend. Murong Cheng turned and grinned.


    So, someone whos just a friend is picking you up right after settling your divorce? Nian Qingyun was incensed.


    Youre absolutely right. Actually, hes not just an ordinary friend. Were making progress towards something more. If youre free, you can stay posted on social media. I might just share about my happy moments. Murong Cheng shook his hand off.


    The man in the Audi got out of the car to open the door for her smoothly. Murong Cheng got in ever so gracefully.


    Youre that guy in finance. Nian Qingyun could not stop himself. He barged in front of the man and said, She was my wife. You were just waiting to pounce all along.


    Thats why we were only friends, previously. Now we can develop our rtionship further. Thanks for finally letting go of her. The man snickered before getting back in the car and driving off with a loud roar of the engine.


    Nian Qingyun looked on as the car disappeared into the distance before looking down at the divorce papers in his hands. Decades of marriage, all for a few pieces of paper. They would no longer be connected in any way. He was overwhelmed with regret. If only he could turn back the tide of time.


    After taking Grandma Nian back home, Nian Junting returned to the office. While waiting at a traffic light, he checked his smartphone out of boredom. He opened his social media tform and noticed that Nian Qingyun had a new post. Cherish what you have.


    Nian Xi hadmented, Dad, arent you a littlete?


    Nian Qingyun replied, Youre right. Im toote.


    Nian Juntingmented, No one needs to cherish you.


    After five minutes, Nian Qingyun replied, You unfilial scoundrel.


    Nian Juntings lips curled into a smile. If not for the fact that Leng Shuangwei had note around, he would have wanted to take Sangsang out to celebrate.


    6.30pm, at the hospital.


    Sprawled at the bedside and snoring in deep sleep, Jiang Qifei was suddenly awakened by Leng Zhes loud voice. Shuangwei, youre awake?


    She snapped awake and saw that Leng Shuangwei had opened her eyes weakly. Her face was pale, and she looked like she waspletelycking in energy.


    Shuangwei, youre finally awake. A tear rolled down Jiang Qifeis face andnded on the back of her hand. Ill get the doctor.


    After pressing the bell, the doctor came over to examine Leng Shuangwei. He smiled and said, Shes not in critical condition anymore. She needs rest to recuperate. If theres any difort, inform us right away.


    Alright. Thank you, doctor, Leng Zhe said as he saw the doctor out.


    Dad, has the attacker been caught? Is Grandma Nian alright? Is anyone else hurt? Leng Shuangwei croaked in a raspy voice.


    Dont worry about others, worry about yourself. Jiang Qifei was extremely distressed. I only have one daughter. What will I do if anything happens to you? Even if Grandma Nian is Nian Juntings grandmother, you shouldnt put your life in danger.


    Mom, even if it wasnt Grandma Nian, I would have done the same. After all, it is my duty as a policewoman, Leng Shuangwei said weakly.


    Yes, policewoman, you should pursue another career. Find a deskbound job instead. Jiang Qifei stood up, her heart aching. Do you not know you might never you might never


    Never what? Leng Shuangwei was unsettled by her tone of voice.


    Youll find out sooner orter, Leng Zhe said gravely. Your uterus has been injured. It might be difficult to get pregnant in the future, even with the aid of artificial insemination or in-vitro fertilization.


    Leng Shuangwei clutched at her nket tightly. It was as if a thunderbolt had struck from the clear skies. Children. What did children mean to her?

 Chapter 599. What Right Does She Have to Like Him?

    Chapter 599. What Right Does She Have to Like Him?


    She hadnt thought carefully about that. After all, she was always away from home and rarely had a chance to spend time with kids. The only child she knew was her little brother whom Leng Zhe had with his second wife. She found that little boy adorable, but she had never thought about having her own children. After all, she didnt even have a boyfriend. However, she did understand how much joy a woman would miss if she could never be a mother, and that without children, a family would never be whole.


    Dont be afraid. Seeing Shuangwei suddenly be upset, Jiang Qifei hurriedlyforted her. Dont worry, I will make Nian Junting be responsible for you. That woman attacked his grandma because of Xu Luosang, it also has something to do with her ex-boyfriend. She hates Xu Luosang. She attempted to kill Nian Juntings grandma, because if she had seeded, the Nian family would never ept Xu Luosang.


    Leng Shuanwei was shocked.


    Can you not add inmmatory details to this? Leng Zhe said, Didnt you hear the police say that Miao Zheng is also responsible for what happened? Hes been abusing that woman.


    Anyway, she was calling Xu Luosangs name when shemitted the crime, said Jiang Qifei loudly. The Nian family wanted Nian Junting to marry you at first, but he refused. It must be because of that Xu Luosang. However, you shouldnt worry. Youre infertile because of Nian Juntings grandma, so they have to give you an exnation for that.


    Enough. How dare you say that! Leng Zhe was beyond tolerance. If you hadnt done what you did years ago, Shuangwei might have married Nian Junting already. To be honest, I dont want to be inws with Nian Qingyun. The idea makes me sick. Its good that thats not gonna happen.


    I admit that I made a mistake, but now, Im only thinking about our daughters happiness. Jiang Qifei shed tears. All these years, Shuangwei barely talked to me. I regret so much, and Ive suffered the consequences. However, I dont care about myself, as Im not young anymore. I only care about Shuangwei. She cant have her own children. Do you want her to marry a divorced guy? She has to marry Nian Junting.


    Alright, stop. Leng Shuangwei joined the conversation. She talked so loudly that the wound on her lower abdomen even hurt a little. Yes, I like Junting, but Im not qualified to like him anymore. Am I really going to make him be responsible for me? Am I really going to take away his right to have children?


    You can adopt a child, said Jiang Qifei.


    But that wouldnt be his biological child. What man doesnt want to pass on his genes? Leng Shuangwei covered her wound with her hand. The wound was hurting, but not as much as her heart ached. She had been fond of Nian Junting since she was little, but now she had lost the qualification to be with him.


    And Mom, please dont talk about responsibility. Im a member of the armed police force, and I used to be a soldier. Saving people is my duty. Will I ask everyone that Im going to save in the future to be responsible for me? Leng Shuangwei closed her eyes, enduring the pain in her heart.


    Ever since I chose to be a soldier, Ive been preparing myself for any possible injuries, even for death. Im lucky that Im only infertile now. In the worst case, Ill never be a mother, but I can still serve our country with all my heart.


    How can you have those kinds of thoughts? Jiang Qifei patted her own chest to ease that heartache. Youre making me so angry.


    Im d that you think this way. Unlike Jiang Qifei, Leng Zhe nodded with a bitter smile. Jiang Qifei, will you stop talking? Shuangwei just woke up. Please stop talking to her about all your frustrations.


    Jiang Qifei gave him a threatening nce but finally stopped talking.


    Next to the door of the ward, Nian Junting leaned against the wall with aplicated look. He had heard the conversation that just happened in the ward. He wasnt surprised by what Leng Shuangwei had said. She was thick and narcissistic but was also stronger than ordinary women. She was really a steely woman.

 Chapter 600. I Thought You Missed Me So Much That Your Heart Ached

    Chapter 600. I Thought You Missed Me So Much That Your Heart Ached


    He stood at the door for about five minutes before finally knocking to enter. Uncle, Auntie, I heard that Shuangwei has woken up, Nian Junting said politely.


    Leng Zhe shot him a pained look, otherwise ignoring him. The sight of any Nian family member frustrated him.


    Yes,e. Jiang Qifei stood up hurriedly and said to Shuangwei, Shuangwei, Junting has been here daily ever since you were injured.


    Leng Shuangwei was slightly touched. He still had some feelings for her, it seemed. Unfortunately, fate had not been kind to them. It was impossible for them to ever be with each other.


    Shuangwei saved my grandma. It is only right that Ie, Nian Junting said, knowing that she could have been mistaken. Shuangwei, your


    Dad, Mom, could you leave us for a moment? Leng Shuangwei said suddenly.


    Mm, Leng Zhe mumbled before leaving. Jiang Qifei followed behind him.


    Shuangwei, rest assured, I have asked all my contacts from overseas regarding the most advanced obstetric treatment options. There must be a way. Think about it. Technology has advanced so rapidly, we didnt even have smartphones as children. Now, theyre all over the ce, Nian Junting assured her.


    Leng Shuangwei smiled weakly and mused, Are you encouraging me to not let you go and keep courting you instead?


    Nian Junting was speechless. If only he could retract what he had said.


    Leng Shuangwei shook her head. I knew it. You cant bear the thought of being without children. You have so much money, youd definitely want somebody to inherit thepany.


    Nian Junting thought, It has nothing to do with inheriting thepany, alright? He sighed. He only just realized how odd she was.


    But Junting, I hope that we can still be friends in the future. Dont avoid me like before. Leng Shuangwei looked at him with dreary eyes. Alright?


    Alright. Nian Junting nodded.


    Also, could you bring Xiao Si back? Hes not to me for the incident, anyway. He was drunk. He didnt know what he was talking about, Leng Shuangwei said softly.


    Okay, I never intended to keep him there for long, anyway. Nian Junting heaved a sigh of relief. Ill have him keep youpany here to stave off your boredom.


    Thanks, Leng Shuangweis eyebrows furrowed into a slight frown before she slowly closed her eyes. Im tired. Go back, then. Dont stay here anymore. You have work to do, too.


    Nian Junting knew that she had yet to recover from her injury and stepped forward to tuck in her nket. Only after she had fallen asleep did he leave.


    11pm, in the studio.


    Luosang was dubbing the soundtrack for the female lead when she suddenly spotted Nian Juntings familiar silhouette through the small window. She was surprised. Beside her, Feng Wei reminded her, Luosang, dont be distracted, even if Mr. Nian is here.


    Luosang blushed and nodded. It had been a few days since she hadst seen him. She had seen him at least once every two days before this. She did not realize how much she missed him. She felt like rushing up to him immediately. The more hurriedly she worked, however, the more mistakes she made. Finally, shepleted her work. It was now past midnight.


    Walking out of the studio, she barely had time to speak before Nian Junting stepped forward to fold her into his embrace.


    Aiyo! Her colleagues started cheering from behind her.


    Let go of me! What a scene! Luosang pried his arms away, her face as red as a tomato.


    You kept looking at me from inside. I thought you missed me so much that your heart ached. Nian Junting reached out to caress her face. Look at you. Youve be so emaciated from missing me.


    Ha ha, Mr. Nian, you havent brought her supper in a while. Thats why shes starving, her colleagues chuckled.

 Chapter 601. Last Time, I Was So Embarrassed

    Chapter 601. Last Time, I Was So Embarrassed


    Nian Junting nced at that person expressionlessly. Who was he? Sangsang had lost weight because of him. He felt chilly in the heart under Nian Juntings gaze. He hurriedly turned away and said, Um, Luosang, Ill take off.


    As he left, Luosang said to Nian Junting unhappily, He was just kidding.


    I dont know him well. Why was he kidding with me? That was boring. Nian Junting put an arm around Luosangs shoulder and walked toward the outside. Luosang leaned against his body and put an arm around his waist.


    Nian Junting nced at Luosang, who was clinging to him, gave her a big smile, and said, I knew that you missed me so much, so I came here as soon as I finished work.


    Is Leng Shuangwei awake? Luosang asked in surprise.


    Um. Nian Junting nodded. The doctor said that shell recoverpletely in three months, as long as she rests well.


    Great, then. Luosang patted her own chest in relief.


    And, she bravely saved my grandma this time. There were many senior military officials at grandmas birthday party. What she did caught the attention of those people. Added with the fact that Zhong Yi is a public figure, everyone knows about what happened. Leng Shuangwei has be a hero now. Shell certainly get a promotion when she returns to work.


    She deserves it. Luosang nodded. Unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be any blessing in disguise for her in this situation. After all, shes lost her ability to be a mother. She didnt me you, did she?


    No. Nian Juntings handsome face wore a guilty look. She said that what she did was a part of her duty, and that she would have saved anyone who was under that kind of attack. In fact, Im not surprised by what she said. Its typical of her.


    Luosang sighed in relief. She was worried that Leng Shuangwei might use what she did as an excuse to force Nian Junting to be responsible for her. Thankfully, that didnt happen. She was a weird person, but she didnt forget about her duty.


    I hope she gets well soon. Sadly, I cant visit her. Luosang had been worrying all this time, and now, she finally rxed. She automatically held Nian Junting even harder.


    Nian Junting lowered his head and asked in a low voice, What? Are you turned on?


    Why do you always connect everything with sex? Luosang felt embarrassed.


    What else can it possibly be? Nian Junting blinked.


    Luosang bit her lip and replied, Cant I simply miss you?


    Nian Juntings eyes glowed with a bright light. A whileter, he said in a meaningful tone, Yes, you can. Later, when we get back, Ill be all yours.


    Luosang blushed. I dont think we should do that. Yan Su is home tonight. Last time, I was so embarrassed. Im not bringing you home.


    But you got through that embarrassment, didnt you? Arent you doing fine now? Nian Junting didnt care. This kind of thing might be strange the first time, but itll be less awkward the second time. To be honest, I havent even met her boyfriend yet. All she has is his name. Whats fun about that? Shouldnt she be with someone that she can touch and sleep with? She shouldnt be wasting her good years.


    You dont understand. Her boyfriend is not ordinary. If I were her, I might do the same, said Luosang.


    Her boyfriend was Shi Xiang, the male singer who was popr all over Asia. Once Luosang finished talking, she sensed that Nian Juntings gaze was turning cold.


    Whom are you talking about? Id like to know who in the world is better than me. Nian Junting sneered.


    Of course there are people better than you. For example, my brother, Luosang hurriedly said.


    Its still doubtful if you have a brother or not, said Nian Junting.


    Yes, I do. Otherwise, why would those people say that theres a boy who looks so much like me? Luosang snorted. Helle find me. Ill just wait for him at home. Im gonna be so nice to him.

 Chapter 602. Promise Me Youll Spoil Me for the Rest of Your Life

    Chapter 602. Promise Me You''ll Spoil Me for the Rest of Your Life


    Hed better not show up, then, Nian Junting said coldly.


    What are you talking about? Do you wish that I didnt have a younger brother? Luosang pinched his waist. He did not know, but every time Luosang saw him with Nian Xi, she was envious that he had a younger sister.


    No, if your brother shows up and takes my ce in your heart, you wont spoil me anymore. Nian Junting had a distant look in his eyes. Promise me youll spoil me for the rest of your life.


    I never said such a thing. Luosang blushed. Moreover, werent these words to be said by women to men instead?


    You agreed to my proposal. Isnt this what that entails? Nian Junting asked.


    He must have gotten it the wrong way around.


    Lets be clear, if your brother shows up, he can only take up five percent of your heart. Nian Junting continued, The other 95 percent belongs to me.


    Luosang wanted tough. It had been a while since shest saw him behaving so unreasonably.


    After getting into the car, Nian Junting started the engine. Lets go back to your apartment. Yan Su is at home, but youve epted my viewpoint from earlier.


    Luosang was startled. She was preparing to open the box of food Nian Junting had prepared for her. When did I ever ept your viewpoint?


    You didnt refute my statement earlier. Doesnt that mean you agree? Nian Junting raised his eyebrow.


    That was regarding Yan Sus matters, alright? You really think Im like you? Your skin must be thicker than the Great Wall of China. Luosang was starting to get annoyed. She may have missed him dearly while he was away, but now she could barely stand the sight of him.


    Nian Juntingughed. I often tell my employees, one must be thick-skinned to be sessful.


    Sorry that I wont be sessful, then. I must be such a burden. Luosang gritted her teeth. Forget it, take me back to my apartment. I still have sses tomorrow morning. Your vi is too far away.


    Hearing this, Nian Junting was a little disappointed. So I came all the way in the middle of the night just to bring you food and take you home?


    Isnt that enough? Luosang red at him. Or did you do this just to get me between your sheets?


    Of course not. Im not that shallow. Nian Junting quickly averted his gaze, rectified his mood, and started the engine again.


    Oh, yes. What about Miao Zheng? Luosang asked. Hes all over the news. They say that he might have mental problems.


    Hes just trying to get through the legal loophole. Many wealthy people try to pull that trick. Rest assured, Ive decided to press charges. He has no mental problems, he just has violent tendencies, Nian Junting said. People like him, just because they are wealthy, they dont treat women with respect. If he is not punished, many other innocent women will be hurt in the future.


    How likely is it that youll win?


    His wife is willing to be a witness.


    Luosang was surprised. How did you manage to get his wifes support? Was she a victim of his violence as well?


    Very possibly, but mainly because I told her that if Miao Zheng goes behind bars, the remaining shares of the Bingyang Group will go to her daughter. Nian Junting chuckled. She agreed immediately.


    Luosang was speechless. People nowadaysWhat about Yi Jingxi?


    Yi Jingxi is a little different from Miao Zheng. Miao Zhengs misdoings have been witnessed by the public, and theres no doubt that hes guilty. For Yi Jingxi, however, there is nopelling evidence, save for Zhong Yis testimony. It has already been a few months. Moreover, the evidence is long gone. I hear that Yi Jingxi will be making a trip down to An City to record a statement. Only then can we be sure of the duration of Zhong Yis sentence.

 Chapter 603. You Young Girls Are Energetic

    Chapter 603. You Young Girls Are Energetic


    Speaking of Yi Jingxi, Luosang recalled what Zhong Yi had said. Zhong Yi had done so many bad things to her, but she thought Yi Jingxi had done them. Those things might be part of the reason why the misunderstanding between her and Yi Jingxi had gone deeper and deeper, and why her disappointment in him turned into hatred.


    Even though Zhong Yi deserved all the misery, Luosang felt it was meaningless for Yi Jingxi to get revenge on her. Zhong Yi wouldnt have used him if he hadnt gotten close to her in the first ce.


    Last time, you said that youd help me dig up Yi Jingxis past. Is there a result yet? she asked.


    You reminded me. I did find something. Ive been too busy these past few days, so I forgot to tell you. Yi Jingxis father is gone. He has a mother who lives in a great sanatorium in An City. Herst name is Chu.


    Chu? Luosangs eyes popped. My father told me that he once had a student named Chu Lei. My mother thought there was something going on between him and that student, so my dad took Chu Lei to all kinds of ces just to make my mom angry


    You didnt tell me about that. Nian Junting frowned. Maybe his mother is the reason why he hates your family. Is there some kind of misunderstanding? I dont think hed want to get revenge on you if your father did nothing but take his mother to some ces.


    I dont know. The day after tomorrow is the weekend. Im gonna ask for leave and make a trip to An City. Give me her address, said Luosang eagerly.


    Bad things happen every single time you meet Yi Jingxi. This time, youre going to see his mother. Its like going to an extremely dangerous ce. Ill go with you, said Nian Junting.


    But youve been absent from work because of Leng Shuangwei. If you leave again


    Xiao Si ising back, anyway. Hell be doing the work for now. He should do something as the vice CEO.


    Have you decided to let hime back? Luosang wanted tough but also felt sorry as she recalled Xiao Sis WeChat Moments. Heined about how cold and lonely it was in the Northwest in every post.


    Um, I called him earlier. He was happy. He said that hell pack his things ande back from Dun-Huang tonight, Nian Junting said. I think hell arrive tomorrow morning.


    Luosang really wanted tough. How miserable is his life in the Northwest? Is he so eager toe back?


    Nian Junting sneered. Thats probably the worst ce hes ever been in his life. He never spent a day in the army, and hes a spoiled child. Heszy. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he has never faced any difficulties.


    Luosang did feel that Xiao Si really had a lot of free time as a vice CEO. But he has lots of friends. People like him are needed everywhere. You bothplement one another.


    Who wants topliment him? Im much more easy-going and popr than him. Nian Junting gave a cold smile.


    Luosang didnt respond. She would not believe that.


    She finished eating, then closed her eyes and rested for a while. Abruptly, she felt that the car had stopped. She opened her eyes and found herself under a tree. It was midnight. Almost no cars came to this area, and there was no one around. Her heart missed a beat. Then, she turned to look at the man who was staring at her in a meaningful way, hands resting on the steering wheel.


    Are we really going back like this? Nian Junting looked at her with eyes glowing brightly.


    Or what? Luosang wished that things werent like what she thought.


    We can do something else. Ill finish quickly. Nian Juntings slender fingers slowly crawled toward her over the steering wheel and held Luosangs hand. You see, Im thirty, while youre only twenty-three. You little girls are so energetic. You people often stay up all night in inte cafes or bars, but the next day, youre still full of vigor.


    Youre not thinking about making love in the car, are you? Luosang couldnt believe how bold Nian Junting was.

 Chapter 604. Luo, You Arent Focusing

    Chapter 604. Luo, You Aren''t Focusing


    You look beautiful when youre asleep. Nian Junting blinked, looking at her. Luo, Ive missed you. Thest three days felt like 30 years.


    Luosang replied, Your persuasiveness has improved during the past 30 years.


    Good girl. Nian Junting grinned as he unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to press his lips to hers. Luosang caught a whiff of the smell of disinfectant. It must have been because he had spent thest few days at the hospital.


    In the dark, they fumbled about in the cramped space of the car. Luosangs palms were sweaty from anxiety, but she felt an unfamiliar sense of excitement. It was the first time they were doing this in public, in a car.


    She kept looking out of the window, but Nian Junting kept turning her head back towards him. Luo, you arent focusing.


    Im afraid the police wille, Luosang said, taking in a breath of warm air.


    Why would the policee to such a ce? Nian Junting mumbled as he pressed his lips onto her neck.


    Luosang looked at herself in the mirror. Her blouse had been half unbuttoned, and his hand was groping away at her skin beneath. Nian Junting suddenly moved over from the drivers seat and pulled her onto hisp.


    Luo, have you been worried the past few days? Nian Junting mumbled through their interlocked lips. Worried that Ill end up marrying Leng Shuangwei?


    Luosang was startled. She ced her arm around his neck, looked into his deep, dark eyes, and nodded. Yeah, a little.


    Stupid, am I that kind of person? Marrying someone just to repay a debt? Thats impossible. After I met you, I decided that Ill only marry someone whom I love. Nian Junting pinched her cheeks before gently biting them, as if he were biting a bun, chubby and irresistible. He could not help but confess again, Luo, I love you.


    What wrong have you done? Whats with all the sweet talk today? Luosangs lips curled into a smile as she caressed his face in her palms, his messy hair unable to hide his chiseled handsomeness in the dark.


    Nian Juntings eyshes quivered. After a moment, he said in apellingly attractive tone, This incident made me realize I am afraid of losing you.


    Luosang was stunned. It took a while for her to regain her senses. Why would someone as confident as he was have such insecurities? It certainly was surprising.


    Why?


    I was afraid that something would happen to my Grandma. I was afraid that we could not be together anymore, Nian Junting said, before raising his head to kiss her.


    Luosang suddenly felt a tug at her heartstrings. She understood. If something had happened to his Grandma, there was no way he could continue as if nothing had happened, no matter how strong he was at heart. If that had happened, they would really have had to split up. Fortunately, thankfully


    Holding his face in her palms, she looked down and kissed him passionately. Her slender, pale fingers traced his corbone to the buttons on his shirt, and then she slowly unbuttoned them. Where her fingers came into contact with his skin, it felt like sparks had been ignited.


    Nian Junting reached down to unbutton her jeans in a rough manner. They were in an unfamiliar environment, having an unfamiliar experience. Luosang buried her face into his neck. She could hear his shallow breaths close to her ear. Nian Junting was especially aroused.


    As they were nearly done, a sound was heard from outside the car. Luosang was the first to hear it. She turned her face away and grasped next Nian Juntings neck in fear.


    Does it hurt? Nian Junting raised his head and whispered.


    Outside Luosang looked as if she were about to cry.


    Nian Junting looked outside. Someone was holding a shlight and looking into the car. Moreover, the person looked a little familiar. Horrified, he shuddered and with that he was done.


    Open the door. The person knocked on the car window.


    Nian Junting finally recognized the person standing outside. His expression turned frosty.


    Luosang was so ashamed that she wanted to evaporate into thin air. Trembling, she put on her clothes and mouthed, What do we do? Hadnt he said that nobody woulde here in the middle of the night? Why was Nian Xi standing outside?


    Nian Junting took out his smartphone and dialed Nian Xis number. Her ringtone sounded from outside, but she only took a look at her phone before hanging up promptly. If you donte out, well be towing your car away. Dont me me if you end up all over the news, Nian Xi warned again.


    What a dumb sister. Nian Junting looked at Luosang and said, Go to the back. Luosang, utterly embarrassed, climbed into the rear hurriedly. Nian Junting opened his window. At the sight of the stony expression on his handsome face, Nian Xi was stunned. Brother, why are you


    Didnt you recognize my license te? Nian Junting gritted his teeth.


    Um the lighting here is bad at night. I didnt really take notice of the te. Nian Xi felt unbearably awkward under his ice-cold gaze. She craned her neck to look in the car. Wheres Sang? I saw that the car was shifting. You cant be alone, can you?


    Luosang buried her face deeper into the car seat. Why had she been so unluckytely? Previously, Yan Su had overheard them, now they had been caught by Nian Xi. Did she do something wrong? Or was she simply having a bad year?


    Stop talking. Nian Junting red at Nian Xi coldly. Didnt she know that Luosang was a shy person?


    Oh, but brother, I didnt know that the two of you were so fashionably unrestrained. Nian Xi coughed. But as a police officer, its my duty to remind you, this cannot be allowed. Its a disruption of public order. Go to a hotel next time. Its not like you dont have the money.


    Why would you show up in the middle of nowhere at this time of the night? Is there a criminal around? Theres no one around. Dont you normally patrol more crowded areas? Nian Junting was frustrated.


    Ive recently been reassigned to patrol this area. Nian Xi shot him a look. Dont judge this ce for being secluded. People like to get it on in their cars in this area. Its just that they arent wealthy. They dont seek the same thrill as the two of you.


    Seeing that you like toe in the middle of the night to catch couples in the act, you must have a fetish for these things, Nian Junting retorted rudely.


    Youre right, I am indeed stimted by it. Its not like you dont know about my separation with Ji Chuan. Im unhappy. Thats why I love catching couples messing around in their cars and teaching them a lesson. I might even take them to the police station where they might break up out of embarrassment. Nian Xi chuckled. Not to mention, Ive already broken up a few couples.


    Nian Junting found herughter especially chilling, given that they were in such a dark and secluded ce. Its not right to wish unto others the misfortune that has befallen you. No man will ever like you. Maybe you should consider that mute guy from before.


    I havent even met him, Nian Xi said as she heard the footsteps of her colleague approaching.


    Nian Xi, hows it going?


    Alright, too bad youre my brother. I cant bring you in. Go quickly, but dont do this again. The station is tightening their grip on these incidents, Nian Xi said and turned towards her colleague. Its nothing. Its just two men.


    Her colleague was surprised. Aiyo, are gay people getting it on here as well?


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes. Theyre only talking.

 Chapter 605. Yi Jingxi Is Your Son, Right?

    Chapter 605. Yi Jingxi Is Your Son, Right?


    After the police car left, Luosang sat up from the backseat. She was angry and ashamed at the same time, so she stuck her head out to the front seat and bit Nian Junting on the neck. Its all your fault! Youre bad!


    Nian Junting carried her to the front seat, put his arms around her, and chuckled. Dont be shy. You see, youve even gotten through that embarrassing time with Yan Su. She heard you and knew that we were doing it on the table. Nian Xi didnt see or hear anything, so why do you care? She came out here to look for prostitutes when she had nothing else to do. Its nothing strange. Forgive her. Youre experienced.


    Is that how you use the term experienced? Luosang felt speechless. She even wanted to bite him to death at that moment. However, as she gave it a second thought, she was actually less ashamed because of his ridiculous exnation. Indeed, the more she experienced, the stronger her mind would be.


    The next morning, she had breakfast with Yan Su. Seeing thetter spending time with her phone calmly, she was suddenly relieved. Any big matter would eventually be history and leave nothing but peace. In the worst case, Nian Xi mightugh at her the next time she saw her. What should she be afraid of? She had even been caught having sex on the table.


    Saturday, she asked the crew for a day off, then flew to An City with Nian Junting and Lu Kang. After they arrived at the airport, the people from a branch of Nian Juntingspany drove them to a sanatorium near the town that Yi Jiangxis mother lived in. That ce was near a spring spa hotel with great views. It was spring, the air was fresh, and blooming flowers were everywhere.


    On their way to the sanatorium, the driver introduced that ce to them. That sanatorium is far away, but it has the best dwelling environment in the city, and of course, its pricey.


    Luosang nodded. Yi Jingxi was surely able to have his mother live in a good sanatorium.


    Nian Junting and Luosang arrived at the sanatorium at 12:40pm. The elderly people who lived there had just finished lunch. At that moment, they were gathering at the pavilions and chatting.


    Lu Kang entered the ce, asked a nurse some questions, then came out and said to Luosang, I heard that thedy in the dark-red outfit whos sitting in that pavilion is Yi Jingxis mother. The nurse wouldnt tell me at first. Clearly, Yi Jingxi has asked them to keep his mothers identity secret. I gave her ten thousand to make her talk. The full name of Yi Jingxis mother is Chu Lei.


    Nian Junting raised his brows. Luosangs heart started beating rapidly. She hurriedly walked toward that middle-aged woman who was wearing the dark-red outfit.


    Chu Lei was only about 50 years old. Among a group of gray-haired elderly people, she looked outstanding. She had wrinkles on her face, but still, one could tell that she used to be a beautiful woman. She wasnt talking with anyone but only watching people chat with a sad smile on her face.


    Madam, Luosang walked to her and greeted her.


    Chu Lei was puzzled for a moment at first, then the look on her face turned a little weird. A whileter, she asked, Can I help you? Do I know you?


    Luosang threw out a series of questions. Do you really not know me? I was on the news earlier. My father is Xu Zhengxuan. You were his student, right? Im also your sons ex-fiancee. Yi Jingxi is your son, right?


    I dont know what youre talking about. Chu Lei stood up and walked out of the pavilion.


    However, she only made it a few steps before a tall man blocked her way. Nian Junting looked down at her. The look on his face was calm but aggressive. Youre trying to hide something. Normally, people tend to be shocked when they hear a strange girl say that shes their sons ex-fiancee, but your first response was to walk away.


    Thats because I dont know you. Chu Lei raised her head. My son never had a fiancee. At least, he never talked to me about that. I havent been minding his business for a long time. You shouldnt havee here to see me.

 Chapter 606. Sang, Is This Your Brother

    Chapter 606. Sang, Is This Your Brother


    Alright, lets not talk about Yi Jingxi, lets talk about my father. Luosang walked closer and softened her tone. Auntie, my dad mentioned that the two of you once produced a short film together.


    Im sorry, I dont want to talk about your father, either. Chu Lei shook her head before walking away.


    Luosang caught up to her. I did not want to find you, either, but my dad might be behind bars for the rest of his life because someone framed him for something he never did. Ive heard that Yi Jingxi bears a grudge against the Xu family. I know you were my dads ssmate once. Was there any conflict between the two of you? Did you instigate Yi Jingxi to frame my dad?


    I did not do anything. Chu Lei heaved a sigh and red at her. Why would I instigate Yi Jingxi to do such a thing?


    Luosang stared at her inly. Because of love and jealousy.


    Chu Lei chuckled. Stop spouting nonsense.


    My dad once said that to annoy my mom, he would take you out in public. Did you instigate Yi Jingxi to ruin him because you fell in love with him but could not be together with him? Luosang asked.


    Thats a hrious story you just spun. How much must I have loved your father for me to still be jealous, even when my son is already so old? Miss, youre looking for the wrong person. Stop bothering me. Theres a reason why I live so far from the city. It was so I could forget everything. Chu Lei frowned and continued walking.


    You can deny it. I dont know what happened between you and my dad, but because of you, he might be behind bars for the rest of his life. He worked so hard, only to end up in prison. Luosang raised her voice and said, I will get to the bottom of this. I will make Yi Jingxi bear witness to what he did and throw him behind bars for eternity.


    Chu Lei froze for a moment before continuing to walk off into the nursing home. Luosang stared in that direction until Nian Junting tapped her on the shoulder. That woman is strange.


    I see it, too. Luosang clenched her fists. Yi Jingxi is so wealthy, it is strange for a woman in her fifties to be staying in a nursing home with all the elderly. Its as if shes trying to hide from the outside world. Its certainly strange.


    Since were headed in the right direction, lets keep digging. Well uncover the truth eventually. Lets go. Nian Junting took her hand. Since were in An City, lets pay father-inw a visit.


    That was quite a huge leap. Luosang stared at him, stunned.


    Whats wrong? Dont you want to see our dad? Nian Junting asked.


    Our dad. Luosang felt like rolling her eyes. Dont be like that in front of my dad, youll scare him.


    I know. Youve found a partner more dashing and wealthier than Yi Jingxi, of course your father will be shocked. Ill keep a low profile. Nian Junting nodded.


    Luosang was speechless. That was not what she meant. If he called her father dad directly, Xu Zhengxuan would certainly receive a shock. But she had many questions to ask Xu Zhengxuan about Chu Lei, so she nodded.


    They grabbed a quick lunch and then headed for the prison. After about ten minutes of waiting, they met Xu Zhengxuan. At the sight of him, Luosang was frightened, for he looked even worse than thest time they met. An air of gloom hung over him. Dad


    Xu Zhengxuan immediately noticed the tall man standing next to Luosang. He had nearly strikingly perfect facial features, and his suit made him appear tall and sturdy.


    Dad Nian Junting nodded politely at him. Its good to finally have met you.


    Xu Zhengxuan stared at him nkly. Suddenly, his eyes welled up, and his lips trembled. Sang, is this your brother? Youve finally found him. Hes so tall and handsome, like, like your mother.

 Chapter 607. Youre Only My Daughters Boyfriend. How Can You Call Me Father?

    Chapter 607. You''re Only My Daughter''s Boyfriend. How Can You Call Me Father?


    The faint smile froze on Nian Juntings face. Younger brother? What the hell, he thought. I look like her mother? Does Sangsangs dad have eye problems? Do I look younger than her?


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched because of what her father had said.


    Xu Zhengxuan kept observing Nian Junting with aplicated look. You look older than you are. Have you and your mother been living a hard life these past few years?


    I look older than I am Nian Junting took a heavy hit. He believed that he looked mature and reliable. His future father-inw was not good at talking. Nian Junting wanted to burst out yelling, but he couldnt. Seeing him fighting himself, Luosangughed so hard that her stomach even ached. Dad, you misunderstood. This is my boyfriend, she said.


    Xu Zhengxuan paused in shock. Realizing that he had mistaken Nian Junting for his son, he was a little embarrassed and disappointed. He thought that his son hade back. Youre only my daughters boyfriend. How could you just call me father? You even made me misunderstand. He couldnt help butin.


    I think Ill be calling you father eventually. I dont care if it starts sooner orter. Changing how I address someone can be troublesome, Nian Junting said seriously. Father, good to meet you. Please let me introduce myself. My name is Nian Junting. Im thirty years old. I graduated from New York University, blood type B, and Im a Leo. I used to be a soldier, but I have retired and founded my ownpany. Currently, Im running a publicpany. My assets total thirty billion dors. I have never married. I dont smoke, or drink, or gamble. My parents divorced a couple of days ago. My mother is running our family business. Currently, shes getting to know her new boyfriend. My father works in the army. Hes not a good husband, but he has dedicated as much as he can to our country. I didnt get his shorings. Under my own supervision, I have be a great man. I also have a sister. Shes twenty-five years old, and shes a police officer in a low ce. She recently broke up with her ex-boyfriend, so I think shes gonna be one of those leftoverdies. Your daughter and I have dated for five months and twenty-two days. I have proposed to her, and she has said yes. Today, Im here to visit you, my father, officially.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She only wondered if Nian Xi would explode if she heard him call her a leftoverdy.


    Xu Zhengxuan was stunned by Nian Juntings long speech. When he was teaching, he had a rather great memory. However, he had barely used his brain ever since he was in prison, so his brain didnt work as well as it used to. He spent quite a while but only managed to process 40 percent of what he had just heard.


    It sounds good. A short whileter, he nodded and said, Its just, New York University is a little non-ideal, isnt it?


    Nian Junting didnt respond. New York University is non-ideal? It ranked thirty-second among all universities in the United States, he said to himself.


    I graduated from the University of Tokyo, and I finished my study two years early. Sangsang got an offer from the University of Toronto when she graduated from high school, but she refused to go so far away to study, because she wanted to stay with me. Xu Zhengxuan sighed.


    Nian Junting couldnt continue the conversation. The University of Tokyo was one of the top 30 universities in the world, so indeed, it was much better than his school. He med Lu Kang for not making it clear to him before he came in and for making him lose face. However, he was also delighted to find that both his girlfriend and future father-inw were good at studying. Nice. Our children will easily get into Haver, he thought.


    You didnt need to mention that. Ive been keeping a low profile. Luosang rolled her eyes, then said to Xu Zhengxuan, Dad, he used to be a soldier. He went back to school after retiring from the army and then got into NYU. Its already good enough.

 Chapter 608. His Father-in-Laws Taste Was Certainly Lacking

    Chapter 608. His Father-in-Law''s Taste Was Certainly Lacking


    Is that so? Thatll have to do, then. Xu Zhengxuan finally nodded. As my daughters boyfriend, you must not only be able to earn a decent living, you must also be academically proficient.


    Nian Junting was speechless. As talented and outstanding as he was, he had not managed to impress. His father-inws taste was certainlycking. Luosang must have inherited that from him for their whole family to have been ruined by Yi Jingxi.


    You must be wary, though. Xu Zhengxuan sighed and told Luosang, I dont really trust your taste in men. You were deceived by Yi Jingxi previously. Now youve agreed to marry a man youve only just known for five months. Isnt that a little too fast? Sang, youre still young, after all. You dont have to rush it.


    Dad, dont worry, Junting is a good man. Hes been by my side helping me ever since Yi Jingxi started bullying me. Luosang took Nian Juntings hand in her own.


    Nian Junting suddenly felt much better. It certainly felt good to be praised by his owndy in front of his father-inw. It was as if he had just swallowed a mouthful of honey. Dad, I will treat Luo well, Nian Junting said.


    Just dont get married too soon. Xu Zhengxuan was unsettled. Also, dont cohabitate before marriage.


    Luosangs face turned red. If Dad were to find out that they had cohabitated and done some things, he would probably be infuriated. Alright, Dad. After all Ive been through, Ive matured. I wont be like I was before. Luosang blurted, I came here today for a purpose. Ive realized that the woman you mentioned in the past, Chu Lei, is Yi Jingxis mother.


    No way. Xu Zhengxuan was stunned. While I was with her, I never heard that she had any children.


    Dad, you and Chu Lei never had any thing going on, right? Luosang continued, Its all too coincidental.


    No, I was just using her to make your mother jealous, Xu Zhengxuan said.


    Was Chu Lei ever fond of you when she was young? Luosang asked.


    Yes. Xu Zhengxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. After I found out that she was fond of me, I kept my distance from her. After your mom left us, she came to our house daily, but I rejected her advances. I dont really remember what happened after your mom left. Those few years are a blur to me. It was mainly your grandparents who took care of us.


    Looks like well have to investigate further. Luosang was disappointed.


    Thank you, but Ivee to ept my circumstances. Ive be more open-minded. Xu Zhengxuan sighed. Anyway, Im already so old, whats the use of living longer?


    Dad, dont say that. You havent even attended my wedding. If someone bullies me, who will stand up for me? Luosang was anxious. She could see that Xu Zhengxuan had been psychologically affected.


    Is he bullying you? Xu Zhengxuan shot Nian Junting a look. Look at how tall and strong he is. Hes also served in the army. Even if youre bullied, I cannot do anything from prison, just like how I was unable to do anything when Yi Jingxi bullied you. Im so useless that my wife got scared, and my son ran away.


    Luosang looked deste.


    After the visit, Luosang looked for the prison guards and inquired about Xu Zhengxuans circumstances. They said that he was not well physically and often appeared frail and listless. He also did not eat much, but because he did not have any illnesses, they were unable to call in a doctor.


    Afterwards, Luosang said, My dad cant remain in prison like this for much longer. He must be depressed. After being framed, it must have been hard to find peace. Finding out about my mom and brother must have been salt to his wounds. I think hes lost all hope in life.

 Chapter 609. Luosangs Teeth Never Left a Mark on His Neck

    Chapter 609. Luosang''s Teeth Never Left a Mark on His Neck


    I also feel that your father is not in a good state. He didnt even have the desire to help and protect his daughter. Nian Junting frowned.


    Have you found the people who were involved in my dads case yet? Luosang asked anxiously.


    I found two of them, but the most important one is still missing, Nian Junting said. But I think it wont take us too long to find that person.


    Even if we find all of them, making them change their testimonies wont be easy. Luosang gave a bitter smile.


    I have asked the new team ofwyers to dig into that case, said Nian Junting.


    Youre not talking about An Lan, thewyer that Ive seen before, are you? Luosang asked.


    Nian Junting nodded and said, Last time, it was mainly Huang Haoyuns mistake. An Lan is Cheng Tings chief counsel. Shes been doing a good job all this time. Dont worry, she and I are only work partners. I always keep my private and professional life separate.


    I didnt say anything. Luosang curved her lips downward.


    Last time, you said that she likes me, and you were jealous of her. Nian Junting tapped her nose, saying, So I exined it clearly to you.


    I get it. Lets invite her for dinner after the case is solved. Luosang put her arms around Nina Junting.


    As the two of them prepared to get into the car, they suddenly saw a Porche slowly park in front of them. A pair of feet in ck leather shoes first came out of the car, then Yi Jingxis incredibly handsome face was seen. Spring in An City was chilly. He walked toward Nian Junting and Luosang while buttoning his jacket. He was tall, with long legs and wide shoulders.


    Luosang hadnt seen him in a while. She found that his cheeks were sunken. Although he had lost some weight, he still looked gorgeous.


    Nian Junting slowly took off his scarf. Yi Jingxi got close and saw the eye-catching marks on his neck. Any smart man would be able to recognize those marks as a womans bite marks. When would a woman leave bite marks on a mans neck? Luosangs teeth had never left any marks on his neck.


    Yi Jingxi felt as if every step he took was upon steel needles that pierced straight into his heart from the bottoms of his feet. He had known that Luosang and Nian Junting had been together since long ago, but when he saw them together with his own eyes, he felt differently.


    He heard that Zhong Yi had attempted to murder Nian Juntings grandma and actually felt good about it. He believed that Nian Junting would definitely break up with Luosang since his grandma was nearly killed. However, after his grandma left the hospital, they were still together.


    He vented all his anger on Zhong Yi. Every time he thought about Zhong Yi, he wanted her to suffer more than just being in prison. She had created so many misunderstandings between Luosang and himself, and driven their rtionship into such a hopeless state.


    I heard that youve seen my mother in the sanatorium. Yi Jingxi turned his eyes from Nian Juntings neck to Luosang. Her eyes were red. Clearly, she had cried not long ago. At that moment, she was leaning on Nian Juntings arm like a little girl.


    You wouldnt tell me why you hate my family, so I had no choice but to find out the truth myself, Luosang said ndly. Your mother used to be my fathers student. I think theres a misunderstanding between your family and mine. I just asked my father about it. He said that he never dated your mother, neither did he ever trick her.


    Xu Zhengxuan is scum. Yi Jingxi sneered, then said viciously, You think Ill say something that might give you an opportunity to reverse the verdict?


    Luosang frowned with slight impatience. Since you dont want to talk, why are you here, then?

 Chapter 610. Just You Wait, Prison Awaits You

    Chapter 610. Just You Wait, Prison Awaits You


    Im here to tell you to stay away from my mother. The reason why she stays in such a secluded ce is to live her life in peace and quiet, Yi Jingxi warned sternly.


    Luosang frowned. Nian Junting could sense her wrath. He ced a hand on her shoulder and said, Mr. Yi, you have the time toe all the way here to give us a warning. Why dont you go back and have some meetings to decide what you should do with yourpany? That was something you toiled so hard to steal from the hands of others. You must treasure it well.


    Yi Jingxis nostrils red, and he clenched his fists. Nian Junting chuckled at the sight of him. Also, you worked so hard to build your film and televisionpany. Your shareholders have been quite disobedient as ofte.


    What did you do? Yi Jingxi frowned.


    You should ask the shareholders whom you arduously roped in previously. Now, Yu Xi owns 80 percent of the shares of yourpany. Although you have 20 percent, the Yi family has lost some footing. Furthermore, you and Zhongyi had that incident a while back. Everyone is quite displeased with your family. The shareholders are already contemting whether they should remove you as CEO.


    Nian Junting grinned gleefully. He bowed. I look forward to the shareholder meeting in May. Treasure the next two months. You might be nothing the next time we meet.


    Yi Jingxi stood rooted to the ground. His face turned sullen and even a little pale.


    Furthermore Nian Junting continued, Ive been gathering information regarding Xu Zhengxuans case in order to review the case against him. Once I prove that you were lying when you gave your testimony Yi Jingxi, just you wait, prison awaits you. Dont you use us of harassing your mother. Shes 50, living a carefree life in the nursing home. Without you around, I hope she can still continue to live sofortably. Nian Junting finished his sentence and opened the car door for Luosang.


    Xu Zhengxuan deserved it, Yi Jingxi turned and shouted.


    Luosang stopped. Although I dont know what you have against my dad, Id still very much like to ask, have you been brainwashed by someone? Maybe you shouldnt rely on what you hear all the time. Use your eyes to see and your heart to feel.


    A dazed expression spread across his dour face.


    Really, I dont know why you became such a horrible person. Luosang could not stop herself. I heard you went to Xia City to give a statement yesterday. Did you see how Zhong Yi looked? Shes awful, but you are undeniably responsible for the way she is.


    What responsibility? She did so many bad things to you behind my back. Im merely punishing her. Yi Jingxi said with a pained expression, Sang, I only realizedter that we had so many misunderstandings between us. I only wanted to keep you by my side. Id never let anyone hurt you. If not for her, I would never have done those increasingly wretched things to you.


    Nian Junting interjected, Your stupidity is to me, then. You were yed by a woman endlessly. Dont you think you deserve it? Moreover, when you first interacted with Zhong Yi, you should have known that she wasnt a good person. Did you think that you would feel secure around her? You should have suspected her involvement in Gu Fengs incident, instead of helping her cover it up. I seriously doubt that Zhong Yi never thought of you as an idiot. After delivering his piercingly scathing words, Nian Junting pushed Luosang into the car. The chauffeur started the engine and pulled away.


    Yi Jingxi struck down on the hood with his fist.

 Chapter 611. You Became So Ugly

    Chapter 611. You Became So Ugly


    He punched the car. A cold gust of wind blew across his bare neck. He suddenly thought of those kiss marks on Nian Juntings neck. He squatted, holding his head with both arms like a boy who had just lost his most precious toy.


    In the car, Luosang slowly buried her head in Nian Juntings chest. She had received too much negative information today. Did you really purchase 80 percent of the stocks of the film and televisionpany? I havent heard you talking about it, she said.


    I was going to surprise you in May, when we go to that ce. I wanted you to see Yi Jingxis extremely embarrassed face. However, I couldnt help but say it out loud just now when I saw him. Nian Junting crossed his legs and said proudly, To be honest, Yi Jingxi is evil indeed, but hes still too young and naive. Added to the fact that hes been keeping a high profile since he built the film and televisionpany, many of his peers dont like him. He has to understand that he is a man with no background. Sadly, its toote for him to understand that now.


    Luosang nodded. He was right. Yi Jingxi didnt have Nian Juntings family background, yet he insisted on being an enemy of the Murong family. He was out of his mind.


    That afternoon, they flew back to Xia City and had dinner at the Tianhu vi. After dinner, when Luosang was sitting on the couch making Nian Junting peel grapes for her, the sound of a car could be heard from the outside.


    Nian Junting put a grape in Luosangs mouth and said, I guess Xiao Si is here.


    Three minutester, Luosang saw Xiaoe in. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a gray jacket, looking pretty dashing. But when she saw his face, Luosang couldnt help but open her mouth wide in shock.


    When she had seen Xiao Si for the first time, she was shocked by his red lips and shiny white teeth. Back then, he looked so young and delicate and clean. After spending nearly two months in the Northeast, he had be like a totally different person. His ck hair had grown longer and was disheveled like a birds nest. His snow-white face seemed to have been dried and roughened by the wind. His lips were dry too, even chapped. He was carrying arge sack, which made him look like a scrounge from the Northwest.


    Tingting! My Tingting! Sangsang! I finally see you! Seeing Nian Junting and Luosang, Xiao Si almost burst into tears. He dropped the sack and jumped directly on Nian Junting, who was sitting on the couch, and pressed him down.


    Psychopath! Get off me! Nian Junting had to struggle really hard to free himself from the crazy hug. Sitting about a meter away from Xiao Xi, he couldnt help but look at thetters face and say, You became so ugly.


    Xiao Si snorted. Go and spend some time in a desert in this season and see if youll be like me. It was snowy or windy almost every single day there. When the sun finally came out, you had to shower in ultraviolet rays. Did I not suffer?


    You deserved it. Id like to see if you dare to tell people things that they shouldnt know next time when you get drunk, said Nian Junting coldly.


    He didnt mean it. I say things that I should not say when Im drunk as well. Seeing that Xiao Si had be like that, Luosang felt a little sorry for him. Si, sorry. If I hadnt narrow-mindedly fought with Junting, you wouldnt have been sent so far away.


    Its not your fault. It was me. I should have watched my mouth. Thankfully, youve made up, or Id feel really bad. Xiao Si opened the sack and said, As your good friend, Ive brought gifts to all of you. Here, raisins from Xinjiang, Gouqi berries from Ningxia, walnuts, red dates, baked buns with beef, baked buns withmb, baked buns with pork


    Luosang was a little speechless.

 Chapter 612. Xiao Si Would Be Devastated to Hear What She Had to Say About Him

    Chapter 612. Xiao Si Would Be Devastated to Hear What She Had to Say About Him


    Color drained from Nian Juntings face. Alright, take those back. I dont need them.


    These are from my heart, Xiao Siined. Keep them well.


    Nian Junting looked at him with distaste. In the past, he hadnt looked as good as Junting, but he looked even worse now.


    When did you arrive in Xia City, Brother Xiao? Luosang asked.


    This morning, I went to visit Shuangwei at the hospital, and then I dropped by to catch up with Nian Xi. Xiao Si stretched himself out on the couch. I didnt expect so many things to happen while I was gone.


    Yeah, most importantly, I didnt expect you to be uglier, Nian Junting said again.


    The corner of Xiao Sis mouth twitched. Will you please stop aggravating me? I was going to court Ji Nuanyi at the start of the year. You were the one that transferred me to the Great Northwest. So be it, but you posted on your WeChat that I was on a blind date. Shes probably uninterested in me now. You killed the shoots of our love while it was still a seedling. Now that Im back, Im too embarrassed to go look for her. Look at how ugly I look now. She would be shocked to see me this way.


    Luosang empathized with him. You just need a good moisturizer. You wouldnt look so bad if your skin wasnt so dry.


    What about my ruddyplexion? Xiao Si asked with exasperation. I heard from the Yuxi manager that one of the actors shes working with now is courting her. Is it true?


    Im not sure about that. Ive been busy with my work. I havent been keeping in touch with her. She probably wont share the details of her personal life with me, Luosang said apologetically. Dont think too much about it. Although you look tanner than before, you look a lot manlier as well.


    Really? Xiao Si asked skeptically.


    Do I look like someone who would lie to you? Luosang blinked her eyes innocently.


    Thats true. Xiao Si nodded. Luosang was a trustworthy person.


    When Xiao Si left, Nian Junting looked at her meaningfully. Are you sure you werent lying back there?


    That was a white lie. Luosang grinned and stuffed a mandarin orange into his mouth. Nian Junting bit her fingers, then he pounced on her.


    Two dayster, Luosang called Ji Nuanyi. She purposely mentioned Xiao Si in their conversation, and Ji Nuanyi fell silent over the line. Speaking of Mr. Xiao, I nearly couldnt recognize him at the Yuxi board of directors meeting yesterday. Gosh, has he changed. Ay, he was such a good-looking chap. He looks like a northwestern middle-aged man now. He gave me lots of red dates and dried raisins when he saw me, too. Said it was the local specialty. All I noticed was his ruddyplexion the whole time he was talking to me.


    Luosang nearly choked on the water she was sipping. Xiao Si would be devastated to hear what she had to say about him. Those are really the best local specialties. Ive been snacking on them every day. Theyre super sweet!


    Yeah, theyre sweet. Oh, right. Fanyu released a new game recently. I rmended you to them for voice dubbing. They pay their voice actors much better over there. Treasure the opportunity! The spokesperson for the game is a popr actor. You know that super-hot singer, Shi Xiang? Ji Nuanyi asked.


    Luosang nearly choked on her water again.


    Dont be overwhelmed. He is super popr. You can ask for his autograph. Sometime next month, though. Ji Nuanyiughed and hung up.


    Luosang was in shock. She was going to work with Yan Sus boyfriend.

 Chapter 613. Arent You Too… Heartless?

    Chapter 613. Aren''t You Too�� Heartless?


    At night, she went home and told Yan Su about that. Yan Su paused briefly with excitement, then said, Youre gonna work together with Shi Xiang? God, dont forget to take me with you. I havent seen him in a long time.


    Im not sure if theyll pick me, said Luosang shyly. Nuanyi did rmend me, but thepany will make the decision. Normally, many people willpete for a role in a game like this.


    Its okay. Ill talk to Shi Xiang. Hes the spokesperson, so he must have a say in this. After saying that, Yan Su happily texted Shi Xiang.


    It was already the next day at seven pm when she got Shi Xiangs reply. He said, The gamepany will pick the voice-actors and actresses, not me. Its inappropriate for me to talk to them on your friends behalf. The people in mypany might think that theres something between your friend and me.


    Reading the text, Yan Su felt very ufortable, so she called him. After quite a long while, he finally answered. Su, why did you call me at this time? Im having a meeting with my team about the concert, said Shi Xiang in a low voice.


    Shi Xiang, Ive been on my own out here for all these years without asking you for a single favor. Im fine with it, but this small thing about my friend will only cost you a few words. Youre not even willing to do this little thing for me. Arent you too heartless? Yan Sus voice sounded calm, but the people who knew her well all knew that the calmer she sounded, the angrier she was. I asked you to help my friend, because I want to go with her and see you, she continued.


    Su, Ive told you that Ill arrange some time for us to see each other in the first half of this year, Shi Xiang said. If you asked me to help a male friend of yours, Id do it without hesitation. Ive looked for this Xu Luosang online. Shes pretty, so mypany would definitely ask me why if I tried to help her. Im popr, but if I fall out with mypany now, they will hire an online water army to post fake negative news about me. If that happened, my career would definitely be affected.


    Your career is already good enough. Youre popr all over Asia now. Youre hiding your rtionship with your girlfriend, and you refuse to do her even a little favor. I dont believe that youve never helped anyone in the circle, Yan Su said. I watched that show you did earlier. Didnt you help that female cast member who was with you at that time? People are saying that you guys are a couple. Did yourpany find fault with you about that, too?


    Mypany arranged that. They want people to think that we might be a couple. In fact, I havent talked to her since a long time ago, said Shi Xiang in a soft voice. Please dont be mad. I promise you, Ill end the contract with mypany in a couple of years, when my career is stable. Then, Ill focus my career in the maind of China, and well go public. You see, youre a singer as well now, arent you? Youre so good at singing. Youll be a star, too, sooner orter. By then, well be the golden couple in the music circle. Su, you have to understand that Im only 23 years old now. Making our rtionship public is no good for either of us.


    Shi Xiang, I think youve changed. Yan Su smiled bitterly. I remember when you left me, you said that you only wanted to be a singer, and that you only wanted people to hear your songs. You said that you wouldnt care even if it was only a sh in the pan. But now, the more you achieve, the more you want. We only have one single call each week. To be honest, even if we do make our rtionship public one day, I wouldnt know if youre still the same person.


    Su, no matter what I have achieved, youre the only person in the world who knows all the goodness and badness of me, Shi Xiang said seriously. One day, Ill tell the world that youre the person that I love most.

 Chapter 614. Youre OK with That? She Is His Ex-Girlfriend, After All.

    Chapter 614. You''re OK with That? She Is His Ex-Girlfriend, After All.


    Yan Su knew that his words were always the most moving. For some time now, he was only good at saying those moving words. She remembered back when they were in school together, he would scale walls for her, fight for her. Now he was refusing her even a small favor.


    She told Luosang what Shi Xiang told her. Im sorry. I assured you so confidently, but I am of no help at all.


    Dont worry about it. He does make some sense. Luosang could tell that Yan Su was disappointed. I will do my best and shine through with my own abilities. Dont worry.


    Im sorry. Yan Su was full of disappointment.


    Dont think too much about it. We are good friends. Luosang patted her head.


    Mr. Nian would support my career on your ount, but my boyfriend Yan Su couldnt even bear to finish her sentence.


    Dont think of it that way. Shi Xiang is only 23 years old, Junting is already 30. Many people his age have barely made any mark on society. His achievements are remarkable for his age. I believe if he really loves you, by the time he reaches 30 like Junting, he will be incredibly aplished. Luosang smiled.


    Yan Su paused to think. Luosang made some sense, and she was less bothered. Oh right, I thought Leng Shuangwei has regained consciousness. Howe Mr. Nian hasnte around since you came back from An City?


    Luosang quickly blushed. I talked to him about it. Since you are staying here, too, I dont think its appropriate for him toe to our ce so often. I will go over to his ce if Im going to spend the night with him.


    Yan Su immediately understood where she wasing from, and she hid a chuckle. Are you embarrassed about what happened that night? I told you I didnt hear anything.


    Luosang rolled her eyes. Who would believe her? He has been quite busytely, as well. Leng Shuangwei is still in the hospital. He visits her every other day.


    Youre ok with that? She is his ex-girlfriend, after all, Yan Su asked curiously. You should watch out. Dont let her take advantage of the situation.


    I cant help it. She saved his grandma, after all. He cant leave her at the hospital without showing any care or concern. He visits her along with Xiao Si though, and he updates me all the time. Luosang shrugged. Shes going to be discharged in a week or so, then he wont be visiting her anymore.


    Im just saying you should still watch out, Yan Su reminded her.


    A weekter, Leng Shuangwei was finally about to be discharged. She was admitted to a military hospital. Nian Junting went along with Xiao Si. On their way there, Xiao Siined, Why do you have to drag me along every time you go? You make me do so many other things, too. I dont have time for this.


    If you go with me, Leng Shuangweis mom will not read too much into my visits. Luo will be more at ease, too. Even though she says she doesnt mind, shes extremely petty, Nian Junting exined. You wouldnt understand. Your EQ is too low. Youll find out when you get into a rtionship.


    Xiao Si was shocked. Ay, I see marked improvement. Youve be more sensitive.


    When they arrived at the hospital, only Jiang Qifei was in the ward. Where is Shuangwei, Aunty? Xiao Si asked.


    She went for an ultrasound scan. She will be discharged if the findings are clear. Jiang Qifei looked at Nian Junting. Junting, there are some things that I never told you. Im really sorry about what happened with your dad in the past. I did you both wrong, but Shuangwei is innocent. With her state now, are you not nning on taking any responsibility? Are you nning to patronize us by just visiting every day? She did trade her right to be a mother for your grandmas life.

 Chapter 615. I Wont Marry Her

    Chapter 615. I Won''t Marry Her


    Aunty, by responsibility, do you mean that I should marry her? Nian Junting frowned slightly. I remember that Ive made it very clear, and Ive made an agreement with Shuangwei.


    Shuangwei was being considerate of you. She worried that you might not have children to inherit your family business. Shes such a silly child. She never thought about herself, said Jiang Qifei bitterly.


    Aunty, Ive told you that from now on, we, the Nian family, will give Shuangwei as much help as we can, for anything. And about her fertility, Ill ask my friends abroad to look for the most advanced medical technologies. No matter how much money it might cost, my family will pay for it. Nian Junting said word by word, Please dont ask me to marry her again. You can say it a thousand times, but nothing will change. As I said, I wont marry her.


    Jiang Qifei opened her mouth, her eyes showing a trace of anger. Seeing that the atmosphere was turning weird, Xiao Si hurriedly changed the topic. Five minutester, Leng Shuangwei and Leng Zhe came back.


    The ultrasound result shows no problem. She can go home and rest, said Leng Zhe ndly. You dont need to drive us home. We have our own car.


    Ill go downstairs for the discharge procedure. My family should cover the medical expenses. Nian Junting nodded at Leng Shuangwei, then walked out of the ward. While he was gone, the Leng familys people had already packed Leng Shuangweis belongings.


    Xiao Si wheeled Leng Shuangwei toward the elevator while trying to ease the tension. Shuangwei, lets hang out together when youve recovered, he said.


    Sure, dont hide from me then. Leng Shuangwei gave a faint smile, then said to Nian Junting, Junting, dont forget toe with him.


    Um, Nian Junting responded in a low voice.


    In the parking lot, Leng Zhe carried Leng Shuangwei into the car, then turned and said to Jiang Qifei, You dont need toe with us. My wife and I will take care of Shuangwei.


    Leng Zhe, I know that you have a son. You cant mistreat Shuangwei, not even a little bit, Jiang Xi Fei reminded him again and again.


    Rx. Shes my daughter. Im not like you, Leng Zhe said coldly, then drove away.


    Xiao Si coughed slightly, then said, Aunty, where are you heading? Can I give you a ride?


    No need. Jiang Qifei nced at Nian Junting and said, I dont want to see some heartless person. After saying that, she turned and walked back into the elevator.


    Xiao Si clicked his tongue and said, When we were little, I felt that Shuangweis mom was gentle and nice. Why is she more and more


    Would a gentle and nicedy cheat on her husband with my old man? Nian Junting responded coldly.


    Uncle Leng is with someone else now. What about Aunty Jiang? Is she with someone?


    How am I supposed to know? Nian Junting turned and got into the car.


    Xia City, in an office building.


    Nian Qingyun had been in a bad mood ever since he got divorced. He texted Murong Cheng a few times, but she never replied, and that upset him. When his secretary, Xiao Xue, knocked on the door and came in, he was gazing at his phone.


    Director, about the task you gave me earlier, I found something. Xiao Xue handed him a thick stack of files.


    What are they? Nian Qingyun was browsing Murong Chengs WeChat posts. Last night, Murong Cheng made a post about the flowers that she received. Seeing that, Nian Qingyun felt very unhappy.


    About Xu Zhengxuan, said Xiao Xue.


    Nian Qingyun paused briefly, then dropped his phone, took the files, and gave them a look.


    Xiao Xue exined, These are the people who are involved in his case. Except for Yi Jingxi, these are all the key witnesses. There are five of them. Young Master Nian is investigating this now. He has found three of those witnesses. The other two of them, ording to the files, have moved abroad. But in fact, I found that they have changed their names and identities, and have secretlye back.

 Chapter 616. She Might Hate Me for the Rest of My Life…

    Chapter 616. She Might Hate Me for the Rest of My Life��


    Nian Qingyun nodded and nced over at Xiao Xue, beckoning him to go on. He continued, The one that I didnt manage to find was the female student who testified against him in court, Zeng Lijuan. I found out that she passed away in a car identst year.


    Nian Qingyun was shocked. Shes key to appealing the case. Without her, our chances are already halved. The other two witnesses are acting in a suspicious manner, too. With all that hiding and lying, perhaps Xu Zhengxuan was really wronged.


    Yeah, theres something else thats quite fishy. After Zeng Lijuan passed away, her boyfriend, who stayed with her, became quite rich over a short period of time. I printed a copy of his bank statements. The source of his moneyes from an overseas shellpany. He started receiving payments from them two months after his girlfriend died.


    Youre implying


    How can it be so coincidental? I suspect that her boyfriend found something after Zeng Lijuan passed away. He might be ckmailing someone and extorting money from them. That man might be the mastermind behind the whole case.


    Nian Qingyun looked up and put down the documents. Xiao Xue looked at him and said, Well should we pass this to Xu Luosang? If we offer her this information and the chance of appealing her fathers case, she might agree to leave Young Master.


    Nian Qingyun opened his mouth and hesitated. Finally, he sighed and said, Forget it. Murong Cheng decided to divorce me because of Xu Luosang and Junting. If I resorted to such methods, she might hate me for the rest of my life


    Before he finished, the phone rang, and when he picked up, it was from the security desk. Director, theres ady here with the surname of Jiang wishing to see you. She says if you refuse her, she will go to the Nian house.


    Nian Qingyun frowned. Alright, let her in.


    Xiao Xue said, Should I give the documents to Young Master?


    What nonsense. Although I wont try to break them up, I wont support their rtionship, either. The Xu family is a tangled mess. They spell trouble for me. That little bastard didnt put in a single good word for me when his mother divorced me, Nian Qingyun said angrily. He can look for the information himself.


    Xiao Xue smiled. True, Young Master will find the information sooner orter. He just might not be as fast.


    Director, the Commissioner is looking for you. Someone knocked at the door.


    Alright. Nian Qingyun stood up. You go down and fetch Jiang Qifei. Dont let her wander around and disturb the new recruits. He quickly walked out of the room. Xiao Xue went downstairs quickly as well. He bumped into Jiang Qifei at the staircase.


    He brought her to the office and poured tea for her. Please wait for a moment, the Director is attending to some matters.


    Alright, you go on. Dont mind me, Jiang Qifei said.


    Xiao Xue smiled politely and stood beside her. Suddenly, someone called and notified him that a new batch of logistics had arrived, and he had to be there to verify the details, finally leaving Jiang Qifei alone in the room.


    Jiang Qifei finished her tea, and Nian Qingyun was still nowhere in sight. She walked around the room, and when she walked towards the desk, she began flipping through the documents on the table out of boredom. She was stunned when she saw a picture of Xu Luosang.


    She flipped through the file and was stunned. She quickly fished out her phone and snapped a few photos of the document before sitting down on the sofa again.


    Nian Qingyun walked through the door at five oclock.


    Qingyun. Jiang Qifei stood up immediately.


    Sit, sit. Nian Qingyun gestured for her to take a seat and took the seat opposite her. Are you here to talk to me about Shuangwei?

 Chapter 617. Kick Down the Ladder

    Chapter 617. Kick Down the Ladder


    Jiang Qifeis face showed sadness. Qingyun, no matter what, we once she said.


    Dont mention the past. Nian Qingyun hurriedly raised a hand and said, We were young. We made mistakes, and we paid for it.


    Alright, lets talk about Shuangwei, then. Earlier, you promised that youd be responsible for her, but now youre eating your words. Jiang Qifei lowered her head, wiping her tears. Whos gonna be responsible for my daughter now? You lied to us. You promised us before. Now, Shuangwei is awake, and you didnt even breathe a word about what you said. Isnt that uneptable?


    Its not that I dont want to keep our word, Nian Qingyun replied awkwardly. First, Junting doesnt want to marry her. Second, the Murong family doesnt want him to marry her. You see, Murong Cheng and I got divorced because of this. What else can I possibly do? I cant put a knife to his neck and force him to register for marriage at the civil affairs bureau, can I? Besides, Junting never listens to me.


    Jiang Qifei was aware of that. How do you n to solve this, then? Are we supposed to just let it go? Whos gonna make it up to my daughter for the harm and loss that shes suffered? Jiang Qifei sobbed, covered her face, and continued, Do you want her to stay single her entire life? Or do you want her to marry a divorced guy? You and your family are really going too far in bullying us.


    Shuangwei saved my mother. My whole family is grateful to her. I will try my best to help her with her career, and Ill treat her like my own daughter. My family and I will do anything we can to help her. She cant get pregnant now, and Im really sad about it. Ive done all that I can, but my son refused to listen to me. I now can only promise you that Ill certainly find a good man for her in the future. After saying that, Nian Qingyun stood up and said, I still have work to do, so please leave.


    Qingyun, youre kicking down thedder, Jiang Qifei said in disbelief.


    Nian Qingyun frowned. Thats not what kicking down thedder means. Qifei, Shuangwei is a soldier. The government pays her, and saving people is her duty. This time, shes been awarded and promoted to a higher position for what she did. I believe that she wont demand that my family be responsible for her because of what she did. Leng Zhe didnt do it, either. Only you are insisting.


    She and her father care about their reputations and responsibilities, so of course, I need to do this. Jiang Qifei raised a hand to wipe her tears while saying, But I didnt expect you to turn me away so cruelly.


    If I had wanted to turn you away, I wouldnt have even let you in. You should know clearly what this ce is. Nian Qingyun rubbed his temples, then called one of his subordinates and asked him to show his guest out.


    Qingyun, I didnt think that one day wed be like this. Jiang Qifei gave a bitter smile, then picked up her bag and left.


    Nian Qingyun spent a short while sitting there, tired, then returned to his desk. Seeing the files on his desk, he frowned slightly. When Xiao Xue returned, he knocked on the desk and said, Why didnt you lock these files in a drawer?


    Xiao Xue was puzzled at first, then lowered his head guiltily and responded, Sorry, I forgot. I was too busy.


    You forgot? Nian Qingyun said coldly. What if these files are highly important and confidential? Have you thought about the consequences? This isnt the first time youve made such mistakes. Go and put these in the shredder. Xie will be responsible for my daily routine from now on, and youll be responsible for reception.


    Yes, sir. Xiao Xues face paled as he picked up those files and left.


    In a meeting room in Shengting.


    Since April began, the weather in Xia City had gradually grown hot. Nian Junting casually sat in a chair with Luosang by his side. An Lan and a few otherwyers were sitting in front of him.


    So I hired a group ofwyers, but thewsuit has been dismissed. After listening to the report, he knitted his eyebrows and frowned.

 Chapter 618. You Were Supposed to Have Your Period Today. Why Isnt It Here Yet?

    Chapter 618. You Were Supposed to Have Your Period Today. Why Isn''t It Here Yet?


    An Lan looked apologetic. Im sorry, Mr. Nian. There really wasnt enough evidence. Our team has been working endlessly over the past month looking for case studies and studying them, but the court has rejected all of our reasons for the appeal.


    Anotherwyer, Zhao An, said, The case was too well-known. If we dont have enough evidence, the court will never ept our request. If they do, it would invite the attention of the public again. The judges will face enormous pressure as well, and their reputation will be on the line. Its a huge risk for them.


    Yeah. An Lan nodded. The public has always paid extra attention to acts of indecency. Xu Zhengxuans case was huge back in the day. It would be helpful to find the victim, Zeng Lijuan, or his own secretary.


    Zeng Lijuan died in a car ident. The secretary changed his identity and returned to China, but he disappeared again recently, Nian Junting said coldly. I suspect Yi Jingxi has picked up on our moves and asked him to leave. His identity here was a fake, anyway. I have no idea where he has gone now.


    It would be helpful to have something concrete, An Lan said helplessly.


    Forget it. Luosang, who had been listening quietly to the discussion, said, Theres nothing much we can do if they wont process our request. We have to find other ways to go about it, then. Lawyer An has done her best.


    Nian Junting looked at her. He could tell she was trying to hide her disappointment. He frowned and said, Youre all dismissed.


    When everyone left, Nian Junting walked over to Luosang and stood behind her. He whispered softly, Im sorry. He had promised her with such confidence that they would appeal the case within six months, but four months had already passed them by. It would be a miracle for Xu Zhengxuan to be released by the end of the year, given how long the trial would drag on for sure.


    Its ok. Youve done your best. Luosang squeezed the hand on her shoulder. You hired so manywyers to handle this case for my dad, it must have cost you quite a bit.


    Its all worth it for you. The most important thing is to get our father out of there. Nian Junting bent down and pressed his cheek against hers.


    Our dad Luosang smiled. He shamelessly brought her warmth andfort. She stood up still holding onto his hand. Lets not talk about these unhappy things. Shall we go for dinner together? Its rare that were both free. We can go catch a movie.


    Ok. Nian Junting nodded.


    They went back to the vi after the movie, and Nian Junting carried her from the bathroom to the bed as he showered her with kisses. Afterward, they cuddled in bed together. Just as Luosang was about to fall asleep, he suddenly said, Oh, right. Luosang, my phone application showed that you were supposed to have your period today. Why isnt it here yet?


    Luosang buried her head in his chest and said through half-shut eyes, Sometimes its not so urate. It mighte earlier orter.


    Oh. Nian Junting was reassured. He looked down to kiss her lips and kissed her until she fell asleep.


    The next afternoon, on her way back to her dormitory after having lunch in her cafeteria, a ck sedan pulled up beside her. The windows rolled down, and Jiang Qifei was sitting inside. She removed her sunsses and said, Miss Xu, would it be convenient to talk in the car.


    Luosang was stunned. She stopped and frowned. If youre here to talk about your daughter or ask me to leave Junting, theres nothing much to say.


    Lets talk about your dad, then, Jiang Qifei said. Im sure youll be interested to know about Zeng Lijuan.

 Chapter 619. Choose Between Your Father and Nian Junting

    Chapter 619. Choose Between Your Father and Nian Junting


    Luosang was instantly on alert. What do you want? she asked.


    Get in, and youll find out. Dont worry, were in the middle of the road. If you went missing after getting in my car, Id hardly be able to absolve myself from the me. Jiang Qifei raised her eyebrows and showed a faint smile.


    Luosang hesitated for a short while, then opened the door and sat in the front seat.


    Lets find somewhere quiet and have a drink. Jiang Qifei started the car and merged into traffic.


    What do you want to say to me? Just say it now, said Luosang impatiently. She wasnt able to spend time with Nian Junting tonight, as he needed to attend a dinner party. But still, she didnt want to waste too much time on Jiang Qifei, as she really didnt like her.


    Jiang Qifei ignored her and said, Lets find a coffee house.


    Luosang took out her phone.


    I wouldnt tell Nian Junting about this, if I were you. Jiang Qifei gave her a sideways nce and said, Or you might regret it forever.


    Luosang recalled what she had said about Zeng Lijuan earlier. She believed that Jiang Qifei came to find her for a reason. So, she put down her phone. About ten minutester, the car was parked in front of a quiet coffee house. Jiang Qifei got out of the car first, and Luosang followed behind her.


    They found a table in the lobby. Jiang Qifei ordered herself a cup of coffee, then said, Im gonna make a long story short. I have evidence that can overturn the conviction of your fathers case. I can tell you clearly that once you have this evidence, youll have an 80 percent chance of reversing the verdict.


    Luosangs heart twitched, but she forced herself to calm down. Jiang Qifei would never give her something so important so easily. Luosang soon figured it out. Are you gonna try to make me leave Nian Junting for that evidence?


    Jiang Qifei poured Luosang a cup of water and said, A conversation with a smart girl can be efficient, indeed.


    Luosang clenched her fists under the table while saying, Even if I left Nian Junting, he still wouldnt marry Leng Shuangwei. Wake up. Because of that youve done, the Murong family will never let him marry her.


    I know that Shuangwei will have no chance, as long as youre with him. Jiang Qifei looked Luosang in the eyes. Besides, youre the reason why my daughter became like that. The world is so unfair. You nted the hatred, but why is Shuangwei paying for it? Years ago, she broke up with Junting because of me. Shes already miserable, but God took away her right to be a mother. And you, you get to marry the man you love and have children. Dont you feel even a little bit guilty when youre with Nian Junting? If Shuangwei hadnt saved Nian Juntings grandmother, could you two still be together?


    Luosang fell into silence. A whileter, she said, I do feel sorry for your daughter, so does Junting. However, giving away the man I love isnt a way to ease my guilt. Besides, if Junting liked Shuangwei, hed certainly leave me because of her.


    Nowadays, some little girls are really good in bed. Shuangwei is no match for girls like you. Jiang Qifei gave a cold smile. Shes silly. She thinks that she shouldnt be with Nian Junting because shes infertile. She didnt want to put him in a difficult situation. But I think differently. I think the Nian family owns her. Eight years ago, the two of them broke up because of me. As her mother, Im gonna redeem my daughters happiness, by fair means or foul.


    Does Leng Shuangwei know that you came to see me? Luosang asked.


    She doesnt need to know. She only needs her mother to contribute to her and silently pave her way, said Jiang Qifei. Ive said what I should say. Choose between your father and Nian Junting.

 Chapter 620. Luosang Had Chills All Over

    Chapter 620. Luosang Had Chills All Over


    One of the waiters served them coffee. Luosang picked up the cup, blew on the drink, and took a small sip. It was extremely bitter. She could finally understand the dilemma when one was caught between two things that they loved. Although you say you have evidence, how do I know if its real or fake? I have no way to judge what you are offering.


    Its a voice recording between Zeng Lijuan and Yi Jingxi. Jiang Qifei maintained a smug posture. She adjusted herself in her seat slightly and continued, I believe you know about the fact that she died in a car ident. After she died, the recording ended up in her boyfriends hands. He has been ckmailing Yi Jingxi with the recording ever since. Yi Jingxi has been wiring money into his ount under the name of a foreign shellpany. I obtained the recording a few days ago. I can safely tell you that your father was wronged. It was all a setup nned by Yi Jingxi. Zeng Lijuan was an orphan. Thats why Yi Jingxi paid her off. She had no background, no family, nothing to hold onto. Someone else raped her, but Yi Jingxi paid her to testify against your father. Do you remember back then when the police conducted an examination? They couldnt find a specimen with your fathers semen because she said that he used protection, but they found his skin scraping under her nails. It was her testimony along with his assistant, his son-inw, colleagues, and friends that influenced the verdict.


    Luosang had chills all over. Although she already knew Yi Jingxi had a part to y in the case, it was something else entirely to hear it from another person. Her own fianc was not only a witness, but he was also the perpetrator behind the entire incident. Why had he hurt her and her father so badly?


    You are very angry, arent you? Jiang Qifei looked at her expression with satisfaction. Yi Jingxi betrayed your feelings, put your father in jail, and took away everything that belonged to you. He turned you from a high society missy to a street rat overnight. Dont you want to punish him ordingly and reim what youve lost?


    I need to listen to the recording. Who knows if youre lying about this? Luosang said through gritted teeth.


    Im not dumb enough to bring my bargaining chip with me. Its the only thing I have over you. If we started fighting, youre probably much stronger than me. Jiang Qifei pursed her red lips. I have a short clip on my phone if you want to listen.


    She opened her phone and clicked the y button. Yi Jingxis raspy voice began streaming. If you dare to take the chance, Ill send you overseas after this The recording stopped abruptly.


    Jiang Qifei put away her phone. You should be familiar with your fiancs voice.


    Luosang closed her eyes. She was. She was familiar with his voice, indeed. She would remember that voice until the day she died. Even if Jiang Qifei didnt y her the clip, she would have believed her 80 percent.


    Nian Junting had found out about Zeng Lijuan and her boyfriend, but by the time they found her boyfriend, he told them that he had been robbed a couple of days before, and his phone was stolen. They thought it was Yi Jingxi. So, it was actually Jiang Qifei.


    Im bewildered. How did you find the evidence so much faster than Nian Junting? Luosang looked at her curiously.


    You dont need to know. Jiang Qifeiughed. She stood up and said, If you dont want it, its fine. I heard that your fathers health is in poor condition in prison. He probably wontst too much longer.

 Chapter 621. I Cant Do Such a Thing

    Chapter 621. I Can''t Do Such a Thing


    Also, dont think about telling Nian Junting about this. Jiang Qifei turned and said, I put the evidence in a very secret ce. Nian Junting cant find it, no matter how capable he is. As you said, I know much more than Nian Junting does. For example, I know why that assistant suddenly left


    You told him in advance? Luosang now understood why Nian Junting couldnt find that person. She was curious about the people who had been helping Jiang Qifei. Were they more powerful than Nian Junting?


    I only told him that Xu Luosang is looking for him. It was his own decision to leave. Jiang Qifei shrugged. But, even if you found him, he wouldnt tell you the truth. Because telling the truth is gonna put him in prison. Who would do that?


    Done talking, she turned and prepared to leave. Luosang stood up and said, Wait. I think were not done here.


    Ive said what I needed to say, and you didnt give me any promise, said Jiang Qifei. Besides, even if you promise me youll leave Nian Junting, I wouldnt believe you. You two might lie to me together, or you may leave now, but when your father gets out, you and he might get back together.


    What exactly do you want, then? If anything happens to my father, your so-called evidence will be useless. Luosang did have that kind of n. She nned to pretend to break up with Nian Junting, then get back together with him after she got that evidence.


    I dont care. Hes not my father, Jiang Qifei replied carelessly.


    You dont want me to persuade Nian Junting to marry your daughter, do you? I dont have that kind of ability, said Luosang coldly.


    Betray him. Jiang Qifei chuckled. As long as you betray him and make him hate your guts, Ill give the evidence to you. What a man cant stand the most is his woman cheating on him. Do you know what I mean? I want Nian Junting to catch you in bed with another man. You can make it real or not, but you have to make it look real.


    Youre so evil. Hearing her words, Luosangs face paled. Nian Junting couldnt even stand her being friends with Chi Shengxu. If anything happened between her and another man, he would never forgive her. He would hate her so much. More importantly, he was so nice to her. How could she hurt him like that?


    Dont think you can fake it with him. I have to see it with my own eyes. If I have any doubt, Ill destroy the evidence immediately. For me, the worst case would be that my daughter cant be together with him, but for you, your father might spend the rest of his life in prison. Jiang Qifei continued, Also, just in case, I wont give you the evidence once you break up with him. You have to wait at least three months. If you trust Nian Junting, let him keep investigating for three more months. But in that case, I wont keep the evidence. You have to know that your fathers case has all eyes on it. Theres no guarantee that you can reverse the verdict. Without sufficient evidence, the court wont overturn the conviction. If anything goes wrong, you might put yourself in trouble. Nian Junting is too inflexible and righteous. He wont take advantage of social status and pull strings.


    I can promise you Ill leave him, but I cant sleep with another man to hurt him. I cant do such a thing. Luosang finished the coffee in one gulp. The bitterness spread to the root of her tongue from her throat. Ill do it in my own way.


    You still need to satisfy me, or I wont give you the evidence. At least, you need to make himpletely give up on you. Also, you cant tell anyone about this. Otherwise, there might be consequences. Jiang Qifei sneered and left.

 Chapter 622. They Needed an Opportunity to Reconcile

    Chapter 622. They Needed an Opportunity to Reconcile


    Luosang sat by herself in the caf until nighttime. She finally made her way back to the apartment after a few rounds of patrons had left.


    When Yan Su came home, she saw Luosang sitting by herself on the couch, deep in thought. She hadnt bothered to turn on the lights. Yan Su was surprised when she switched on the lights, and she quickly asked, What are you doing? Why didnt you turn on the lights?


    Im thinking about some things, Luosang said softly.


    Are you thinking about breaking up with Mr. Nian again? Yan Su was examining her expression.


    No.


    Well, you guys are stuck together like glue. Yan Su began changing out of her shoes.


    Luosang looked at her, ready to speak, but she stopped herself. She wanted to confide in someone. She hoped that someone could think of a solution for her. Xu Zhengxuan taught respectably for most of his life. She really wanted to clear her fathers name and punish Yi Jingxi ordingly. But Nian Junting was so good to her.


    Even when he knew that her father hadmitted the act of indecency, he tolerated her unconditionally. No matter how much his family despised her, he never thought about giving up on her. Was she about to give up on him for Xu Zhengxuan? She didnt want him to hate her. They could separate for the time being, but they needed an opportunity to reconcile.


    Hey, Im beat after recording in the studio for the entire day. Yan Su stretched her back and sat down beside her. The room was very quiet. Luosang didnt respond. She sensed that something was wrong. Sang, do you have something bothering you?


    Am I being that obvious? Luosang grimaced.


    Tell me. Yan Su put her hands on Luosangs shoulders.


    Im worried that youll tell Junting. Dont think I dont know youve been tipping him off.


    Yan Su looked embarrassed. Dont worry, I wont tell him you dont want me to. I know what I should and shouldnt say as your friend.


    Luosang hesitated before finally speaking.


    Ive never met a more shameless woman than her! Yan Su was furious after listening to her. Nian Juntings father must be so blind to fancy someone like her.


    Luosang sighed.


    Yan Su looked at her and asked, Are you really going to hurt Nian Junting for this?


    Luosang said, I wanted to collude with him, but she said she wanted to watch it y out in real life. If she notices anything wrong, it would be catastrophic if she destroyed the evidence. Although I think that Nian Junting can be quite an actor, he does act quite dramatically.


    Thats true, his acting is really He can y a shameless man, but hes not good enough to portray agony and sadness. Yan Su shrugged. But if you find another man, I dont think he could ever ept that. What if he never agrees to reconcile with you?


    Luosang batted her eyes. So Im thinking, should I get pregnant first? When I get the evidence, I will go find him with my baby and tell him the truth. He cant refuse a baby!


    You are pretty shameless yourself, Yan Su said almost smiling. But are you sure you want to be pregnant while youre so young? You said you were going to wait two to three years. Childbearing is a seriousmitment. Youre going to invest the peak of your youth in raising a kid?


    I cant think of a better idea. I have to get that audio clip. Ever since I talked to my dad about my mother and my brother, he has been dejected and demoralized. He doesnt even care about my rtionship anymore. He has been admitted to the hospital before. I got certified as a caregiver for him. Im worried he cant hold out any longer in there. Junting cant seem to find any new breakthroughs with the case, either.


    Luosang was getting more anxious as she spoke about it.

 Chapter 623. Miss An, You Like Him Too, Dont You?

    Chapter 623. Miss An, You Like Him Too, Don''t You?


    Then again, Mr. Nian is such a capable and resourceful man, but he actually lost to that olddy Jiang Qifei. Whos behind that woman? asked Yan Su in disbelief.


    I want to know, too. Shes ahead of us in many ways. I guess that poor and pitiful face of hers is only a mask that she wears. Luosang nodded. There must be a strong force behind her. I wonder whom she has hooked up with. Today, she was driving a car that is worth over a million, and her outfits are worth tens of thousands. She was also wearing a Patek Philippe today.


    Her ex-husband works in the army. He cant have that much money to give her. Shes definitely with some other man, Yan Su agreed. She cheated on her husband when they were still married, so I doubt that shes ever been single since she got divorced.


    Lets stop talking about this. The more we talk, the uneasier I am. Luosang buried her head in her hands.


    Yan Su looked at her without knowing what to say. It was indeed a troublesome thing that had happened to Luosang. Sadly, she wasnt capable enough to help her.


    That night, Luosang could barely sleep. At eight oclock in the morning, she took a taxi to An Lansw firm. At ten to nine, An Lan came to work. Seeing Luosang sitting on the stairs in front of herw firm, she was surprised. Miss Xu, what brings you here?


    I want to ask some questions about my fathers case, said Luosang.


    Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, An Lan nodded, then opened the door and let her in. Mr. Nian didnt tell me that youd be here.


    I didnt let him know. I came here by myself.


    An Lan nced at her and asked, You looked finest time. Why do you seem so anxious today?


    There are some questions that I cant ask in front of Junting. I want you to tell me, as an experiencedwyer, do we have a chance of reversing my fathers verdict? Luosang looked her in the eyes. Seeing An Lan blink, her heart almost sank.


    An Lan didnt respond but walked into her office and poured Luosang a cup of warm tea. After that, she said, Miss Xu, to be honest, if I hadnt worked with Mr. Nian for so many years, I wouldnt have taken this case. I was engaged in many other cases, but none of them was under as much scrutiny as your fathers. Once the court session is opened, the media from the whole country will use me of taking a bribe, because I will be defending a molester. Once we start, Ill be going against the entire society. Only on the day I clear your fathers name can I regain my reputation. If I fail, Ill lose all my prestige as awyer.


    Luosang fell into silence.


    I get it. When my father first went to prison, I went to everyw firm that I could find to ask for thosewyers help. As a result, they kicked me out once I mentioned it, said Luosang.


    Ill try my best in your fathers case. However, I can be honest with you. Without solid evidence, we might not even have an opportunity for appeal. Earlier, Mr. Nian was there, so I couldnt just tell you this honestly. In fact, he knows about it clearly. Hes frustrated, too. I guess no one ever thought that Zeng Lijuan would die.


    I am really jealous of you. An Lan looked at Luosang and continued, Mr. Nian is so nice to you.


    Miss An, you like him too, dont you?


    Yeah, I do. But I know him. If he liked me back, hed have let me know long ago. If I go after him, I might even lose my chance to be partners with him. An Lan paused for a few seconds, then nodded frankly. Thankfully, the woman he likes isnt a bad person. Youre that caregiver, arent you? Last year, if you hadnt pointed out that mistake, I might have caused him to lose hundreds of millions.

 Chapter 624. You Wont Like Me Anymore When Youre Old

    Chapter 624. You Won''t Like Me Anymore When You''re Old


    She spoke with such honesty. Luosang wasnt put off by the fact that she liked Nian Junting, too. How was that your fault? Huang Haoyun and the trantor did you dirty. Its not your fault that you cant read Japanese.


    No, we are still Shengtings legal consultants, after all. Anything that goes wrong with the contracts is our fault. If word got out, our reputation would be badly affected, An Lan said.


    Lawyer An, if there is an audio recording of the conversation between Zeng Lijuan and Yi Jingxi when they struck up a deal, would it be a good enough piece of evidence? Luosang asked with hesitation.


    An Lan was stunned for a second, and then she nodded her head vigorously. If we have the recording and a witness, a witness who can testify against Yi Jingxis feud with your family, we might have a chance.


    We still need a witness?


    Yeah, we need a believable motive. I know Mr. Nian has been closing in on the Yi Group. When Yi Jingxi loses his footing, he wont be able to find a good defense counsel. That will be our best time to act.


    An Lan looked at her with excitement. Do you have any news of the recording? When Mr. Nian found out about Zeng Lijuans boyfriend, we suspected that he had incriminating evidence against Yi Jingxi. We were so frustrated when he got his hands on the boyfriend before we had a chance to talk to him.


    The recording is not with Yi Jingxi, its with Jiang Qifei, Luosang told An Lan simply. I wasnt sure how helpful that recording would be, so I had toe to consult you first.


    You trust me that much? An Lan was shocked. Youre not worried that I will tell Mr. Nian?


    Luosang smiled. You are awyer. You must want to win this case, since you took it on. If you can overturn the ruling on this case, you will be the talk of the town. You will be standing on the pinnacle of your career if we win, Lawyer An.


    Miss Xu, you are quite the sly one. An Lan turned and smiled. Youre telling me all this because youre worried that he wont continue to ask me to take on this case when you guys break up?


    That is one of the reasons. Another reason Im talking to you is that I hope that you will find an opportunity to tell him the truth once I break up with him. Jiang Qifei said that she would only give me the recording after three months. Im not sure who is supporting her, so I must fulfill her conditions. Three months apart is a long time for both me and him. When she lowers her guard, Nian Junting could investigate her and find out how she got hold of the evidence in the first ce. When she hands the recording over to me, thats when we wrap things up and make her pay the price of doing something so despicable.


    Why dont you ask Nian Xi or Xiao Si to do you the favor instead, since it matters so much to you? An Lan was confused. Were just working partners, after all, not even friends.


    Because they need to be conned as well to achieve the best effect. Youre different. We can work together because were not friends. When I get the evidence, you can win thewsuit and gain wealth, reputation, and honor. Its a good deal for you, too.


    Alright, what about the witness? An Lan nodded. Without a witness, it will be difficult to pin down a motive for Yi Jingxis actions.


    Zeng Zhun, Kashiwa. Luosangs lips were quivering. Zeng Zhun is Yi Jingxis personal assistant. What else can be more convincing than that? Kashiwa is his old ssmate and a close friend.


    An Lan shook her head. Maybe Kashiwa, but Zeng Zhun


    Ive encountered Zeng Zhun a few times. Hes not a bad person, and he doesnt agree with the things that Yi Jingxi does. Ive been seeing news of Yi Jingxitely. Zeng Zhun isnt following him around anymore.


    An Lan sputtered. Well, but that wont be enough, right?


    So, we need Junting to sow discord between them. It shouldnt be too difficult for him. Everyone in the Yi Group is switching jobs now. Yi Jingxi will be at his most paranoid.


    Are you sure Nian Junting will still help you? An Lan raised her brows.


    Im not sure. Luosang shrugged. But if he wont help me, Ill figure something out myself. Im talking about our partnership today.


    Sure, I wont lose anything, anyway. An Lan nodded and shook her hand.


    At the Tianhu Vi.


    The evening hues painted the sky, and Nian Junting came home from work. He walked in to see Sister Lan watching television in the living room. He frowned. Its sote. Why havent you made dinner yet?


    Sang is cooking in the kitchen. She wont let me chip in and chased me out, Sister Lan said indignantly as she pointed at the closed-off kitchen.


    Nian Junting was gleeful immediately. He walked over and pushed the door open to see Luosang making fish head tofu stew. The sweetness of the seafood filled the air with an enticing aroma. Yum, smells so good. Nian Junting hugged her from behind and buried his face in her neck.


    Yeah, I just showered and washed my hair. Luosang was about to touch his face when she realized that she hadnt washed her hands yet after touching the tofu.


    Im talking about the fish, not you. Nian Junting hummed lightly. Dont be so full of yourself.


    Luosang put down her hand slowly. She wanted to smack him with the spat.


    Nian Junting nced at the countertop. It was filled with his favorite dishes. Luo, why are you treating me so nice? Its not even my birthday yet. Are you going somece for your job?


    No, I just thought you must be tired after all youve done for my dad. I wanted to treat you to something special to thank you. Luosang looked at him coyly.


    I should be helping our dad. Its just that I havent been making much progress. Nian Junting hugged her and mumbled, Its so strange that the trail seemed to stop here. I just cant seem to find any further evidence. If we really cant figure things out, lets bail your father out on ount of medical treatment outside. We can diagnose him with a psychiatric problem, and he might feel better staying outside the prison.


    Wont that be against your principles? Luosang panicked and said, I asked before, my dads illness is because of his low morale. He wont qualify for bail.


    I cant help it. Im willing to bend my principles for my woman. Nian Juntings arms were still around her. He looked down at her youthful and beautiful face.


    Luosang looked up at him for a while and shook her head. No, I dont want that. You have your own principles. I dont want you to make an exception for me. Youve already done enough for me.


    But


    Junting, my father wants to clear his name, Luosang said. He is the most worried about my mothers opinion of him when she finds out about what happened to him. He cant bear the thought of her despising or mocking him.


    Nian Junting remarked, Your dad is still troubled about love matters even at such an old age.


    Luosang rolled her eyes at him. I know. You wont like me anymore when youre old. I guess you wont be troubled by rtionship matters, then.

 Chapter 625. My Wife Likes to Peel Shrimps for Me the Most

    Chapter 625. My Wife Likes to Peel Shrimps for Me the Most


    Nian Junting was immediately filled with deep esteem. Our dad is really a good dad. Hes not young anymore, but his passion for love never changed. He is really admirable. I must try to keep up with him.


    Luosang burst out inughter. Youre such an artist of talking. Stop bothering me and let me cook, she said.


    Just cook. Ill hold you, but I wont interrupt you, Nian Junting refused to let her go.


    It was inconvenient for Luosang to cook like that. However, she was reluctant to part with him, so she let him do what he wanted. Nian Junting tried to reach for a yard after taking an inch. During dinner, he asked Luosang to pick fish bones and peel shrimp for him. Watching them, Sister Lan felt extremely awkward. Nian Junting nearly asked Lousang to feed him.


    Dont go too far. Last time you said that youd peel shrimp for me all my life, said Luosang. How many times have you done that?


    Um, I remember what Nian Xi said about that female star called Big S. Thats how I know that youve been spoiling me the whole time. You spoiled me so much that Ive almost be a Big N, said Nian Junting happily.


    Big N? Luosang didnt understand.


    Shes called Big S because the first letter of her name is S, right? My first name is Nian, so Im Big N. Nian Junting chuckled.


    Her first name is Xu. Luosang found his speech both funny and ridiculous.


    Why is she called Big S then?


    I dont know. People just call her that, Mr. Big N. Luosang teased him, then threw a peeled shrimp into his mouth.


    After finishing the dishes, Luosang came out of the kitchen to find that Nian Junting had changed his WeChat name from CEO Nian to Big N, with a short introductionMy wife loves peeling shrimps for me the most.


    Luosang was speechless. You let a woman peel shrimp for you, and you shamelessly show off about it. I really dont know what to say, she thought.


    Atst, even Murong Cheng couldnt help but message Luosang. Sangsang, you cant spoil that boy. Dont peel shrimp for him. Let him do that for you.


    Nian Xi also messaged her. My future sister-inw, why are you so nice to my brother? Why are you such a nice person? Maybe I should have gender reassignment surgery and then be with you. Ill treat you better than my brother a hundred times over.


    Luosang was very delighted. Murong Cheng and Nian Xi were really good people. If she had a choice, she would never want them to misunderstand her. After dinner, she borrowed a needle from Sister Lan, then went upstairs. She found the condoms and then started piercing holes in them. She pierced every single one of them.


    For her career, she didnt want to get pregnant now. However,pared with her career, Nian Junting was more important. Her career could be restarted, but if she lost the person that she loved, she may not have a chance to get him back.


    The door was suddenly opened. Luosang took fright and hurriedly threw the needle and the condoms in the drawer. Nian Junting walked over, nced at the things in the drawer, then gave a wicked grin. Are you looking for condoms? Do you want to


    No. Luosang was so embarrassed. She stuttered, I was trying, trying to see how many we have left If were running out, Ill buy some new ones.


    Dont worry, there are two boxes of them in my trunk. Those canst us for a whole year, said Nian Junting with glowing eyes. Let the man worry about that kind of thing.


    Why did you buy so many of them The tips of Luosangs ears were even burning.


    I like to buy things in boxes. Nian Junting walked over, nced at those condoms in the drawer, then smiled and put his arms around Luosang, who was squatting on the ground. He breathed into her neck, and his voice somehow became dry. But you forgot that this couple of days are your safe period. We dont need these.

 Chapter 626. Dont You Like That Im Passionate?

    Chapter 626. Don''t You Like That I''m Passionate?


    Her embarrassment was suddenly gone, and she was frozen. She had nearly forgotten. Her period had nevere. It had been her safe period all along. It seemed like there was no hope of getting impregnated within the next few days. Even if her period came the next day, it would take her another week at least to be fertile. Gosh


    Why, you like to use this kind? Nian Junting picked up two with each hand, his raspy voice tickling her ears. Fine. Ill use these, then. I dont really like the feeling of wearing a covering.


    Luosang was still devastated. She casually remarked, You dont have to wear it if you dont want to. It doesnt really matter to me.


    Nian Juntings eyes lit up, and he carried her in his arms. Luosang clung onto his neck in shock. Werent you going to work from your home office?


    I can be a littlete. Nian Junting ced her on the bed and began kissing her fervently as he undressed. Luosang returned his kisses with equal passion. She couldnt bear to let him go. She couldnt bear to hurt him and leave him. It would be for three months only, and then she would make it up to him afterward.


    She had to clear Xu Zhengxuans name. Only then could she marry him properly without the Nian familys disapproval. Even though they had not objected to their rtionship, she knew that she wouldnt have their blessing if they were to get married.


    Junting, you must forgive me.


    On the second floor, Sister Lan was carrying a cup of coffee to the study. Before she walked into the study, she could hear moaninging from the bedroom as the door was half shut. She blushed and brought the coffee back down again.


    Butler Wuughed. Why did youe back down? Young Master didnt want it?


    Sister Lan said in embarrassment, Sang and Young Master are too much. They dont even shut the door now. Isnt it a tad early? Its only eight oclock. Its taxing on the health if they carry on like this. Ill have to make him some tonic tomorrow.


    Butler Wu was stunned, and he cleared his throat. The next time they are home, I think we should stay clear of the second floor.


    Ok.


    When they finished, it was still early. Nian Junting didnt rush to get out of bed as Luosangid quietly in his arms. She was tracing her finger on his chest, her cheeks pink and rosy. Her eyes were slightly damp.


    Nian Junting looked at her and pecked her on the cheeks. Luo, why are you so passionate today? Im not used to it. Youre usually passionate, too, of course, but even more so today. He felt uneasy all of a sudden, but he quickly dismissed his worries. It was unnecessary to overthink the matter, as he was such an outstanding man.


    Dont you like that Im passionate? Luosang opened her eyes and looked at him. She was even more seductive batting her bashful, doe-like eyes.


    Nian Junting was lost in her eyes. No, I am d. I think youve finally let go to fully enjoy yourself with me. I think we can start expanding the vocabry during our intimate moments.


    For example, you can say things like: you are so good, this feels amazing, harder, Junting, harder, I want more


    I think youd better get to work. Luosang pulled up the nket. She shattered his fantasies right away. He should be tormented for how shameless he was.


    Over the next few days, Nian Junting was giddy with joy. It was surreal. Luosang made him breakfast every morning. Some days she would even prepare his toothpaste for him. At night, she busied herself by preparing dinner for him. That morning, he felt her kiss him while he was still asleep.

 Chapter 627. He Wished Luosang Would Torture Him

    Chapter 627. He Wished Luosang Would Torture Him


    Being nourished by love, Nian Junting looked delighted every single day, even when he was in his office. Sometimes, happy people tended to bepassionate. Seeing Xiao Sis red cheeks, he couldnt help but ask, How are things going with you and Ji Nuanyi?


    Ive only seen her once in a meeting since I came back. You go home and spend a happy time with your girlfriend every day, but you force me to work my ass off in the office, Xiao Siined.


    Im doing it for your own good. Youre too ugly recently. Its better for you to stay in the office now. Nian Junting was sharp-tongued as always.


    Extreme joy begets sorrow. Be careful, said Xiao Si grumpily. Its not normal for a woman to suddenly be so nice to you.


    Really? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. Weve been together for a long time. Perhaps shes realized that shes obsessed with me, so shes decided to give me all her love recklessly. Youll know how I feel when you have my charm.


    Xiao Si stopped talking but silently wished Luosang would torture him.


    Luosang spent a week following Nian Junting around, then stoppeding to the vi. For the first couple of days, Nian Junting thought that she was busy working and studying. But since she refused toe to the vi with all sorts of excuses for a couple of days in a row, he started to be unhappy.


    He went to her apartment to find her, but she wasnt there. He called her and asked her where she was, but every time she didnt give him an answer. He couldnt understand. Having not seen her for a few days, Nian Junting felt very ufortable. With no other choice, he went to her school to look for her.


    He waited for a while near the teaching building, and then saw her and Chi Shengxu walk out together, talking andughing. Chi Shengxu was carrying her bag. Nian Junting didnt know what they were talking about, but he did see Luosang raise her head andugh happily. He held the desert that he had prepared for her and watched them. He was dizzy for a moment, and then jealousy and anger started flooding in his veins.


    Before losing control, he recalled that she hadined about him being too bossy, and she had said that she and Chi Shengxu were only friends. He stopped himself from losing temper, then walked over to her with big steps, held her arm, and said with a cold expression, Wheres your bag? Why do you need another man to carry your bag? Xu Luosang, are your arms broken? Are youme?


    Xu, give me my bag, said Luosang to Chi Shengxu.


    Alright. Make it clear with him as soon as you can. I dont want to keep waiting. Chi Shengxu handed her the bag, then nced at Nian Junting, turned, and left.


    What did he mean by he doesnt want to keep waiting? Why did he say that just now? Nian Junting stared at Luosang with icy-cold eyes. And you called him Xu. Xu Luosang, you promised me that youd keep a distance from him. Did you forget about that? Is this what you promised me?


    I dont want to fight you here, Lousang pulled his hand away, turned, and walked forward. Nian Junting was stunned for a second, then caught up with her withrge strides. Luosang stopped by the side of theke, then said to him, Nian Junting, I want to break up with you.


    Nian Junting suddenly choked on his angry words. He gazed at her, as if he didnt realize what had happened. He thought he misheard her. He hadnt even started arguing with her. Why did she suddenly want to break up? Xu Luosang, do you know what youre talking about?


    Im very clear. I want to break up with you. Luosang raised her head and looked him in the eyes. His eyes suddenly narrowed.


    Junting, forgive me. In the future, Ill do whatever you want me to do.

 Chapter 628. Ah Xun Will Buy Me Better Things

    Chapter 628. Ah Xun Will Buy Me Better Things


    Youre threatening me again, arent you? Nian Junting was angered. He couldnt believe how easily she spoke about breaking up. I wont back down on this. How can you ask another man to carry your school bag and chatter so happily with him?


    Luosang frowned. Im not threatening you, Im serious. I dont think werepatible.


    Nian Junting stared at her for a good while. She lookedpletely serious. He reached out to touch her forehead. Do you have a fever, or are you possessed?


    Im perfectly normal. Luosang pushed his hand away. She sounded firm. Donte to look for me again.


    Dont try to scare me, it wont work. Nian Junting tried hard to ignore his unease. They had stuck together like glue just a couple of days ago. She had been so sweet and patient with him, it just didnt make sense that she would want to break up so suddenly.


    Ipatible? In what way? He asked her again, Did you find me unsuitable previously? Did you think that when we were in bed together, when we dated, when I proposed? Where did thise from? Its a ridiculous excuse.


    Thats right, its an excuse. Cant you tell? Ive had a change of heart. No, not a change, Ive always had an ulterior motive. I wanted to save my dad, but now that you cant, you have no use to me. I am in love with Chi Shengxu. Hes the same age as me, and we have endless shared interests. We have the same dreams and aspirations. He is a popr idol. His parents like me, too, so Ive decided to be with him instead. When she was done, she looked like she was in pain.


    Nian Junting watched her mouth open and close as if she were a stranger. She said she only got together with him for her dad. He was useless to her now. How could it be? Didnt she love him very much? Hadnt she been the one who fell madly in love first? Werent they madly in love?


    His heart felt like it was being torn apart. He couldnt breathe. He was gasping for air. Impossible, you didnt have to give me your first time just to save your dad.


    How could I expect returns without any sacrifices? Too bad I wasted my first time, Luosang said coldly.


    Nian Junting unbuttoned his cored shirt. He felt suffocated. What about the past couple days? You were so sweet to me.


    I wanted to break up with you already, but I felt bad. That was to make it up to you. Luosang looked down. She tried hard not to look him in the eyes, as she was afraid that she would burst into tears. You can throw my things away in the vi, I dont want them anymore. Ah Xun will buy me better things.


    Youre possessed. Nian Junting rested his hands on his waist and looked at her furiously. I heard theres a voodoo craft in Thand that makes someone detest someone else out of the blue. It makes them fall in love with someonepletely different, too. Chi Shengxu must have resorted to such dirty tricks.


    Things were getting a little out of hand. Luosang tried hard not to smile. Was there such a thing in Thand?


    Theres Yunnan witchcraft, too. I dont know what spell youre under, Nian Junting looked gravely at her, but I will find a way to break the spell, so you can see your heart clearly again.


    Nope, thats alright. Im fine


    Anyone who is under a spell wouldnt know that they are under a spell. Nian Junting stepped back. I wont take what you said to heart. Ill find a solution to this.

 Chapter 629. Luo Is Enchanted

    Chapter 629. Luo Is Enchanted


    After saying that, he turned and strode off. Luosang opened her mouth wide, watching him leave. She wanted tough but felt sorry for him at the same time. He didnt want to believe her and had actually convinced himself that she was enchanted.


    You saw it. I broke up with him. As Nian Junting walked away, Luosang turned to look at the woman who had just walked out from behind a clump of flowers.


    Helle back for you. I want you to end it with him. I want him to hate you. Jiang Qifei smiled.


    I hope you wont swallow your words and refuse to give me the evidence when Ive done what you asked. Luosang stared at her coldly.


    You dont need to worry about that. That thing is useless to me, said Jiang Qifei ndly.


    Luosang sneered. Threaten me now. Three months from now, youll never be able to do it again, she thought.


    Nian Junting returned to Shengting and quickly summoned Xiao Si to his office.


    What is it? Didnt you go to find Luosang? Xiao Si yawned. Nian Junting was getting worse and worse. First, he called him ugly, and now he wouldnt let him take a nap.


    Luo is enchanted. Nian Junting paced before the window. I dont know what Chi Shengxu did to her, but she told me that shes going to be with him. She wants to break up with me, and she said that shes only using me to save her father. She said thats why shes with me. Isnt that ridiculous? Ive heard about such kinds of evil enchantment before, but usually only women use them. I didnt know that men could cast them, too.


    Xiao Si was stunned.


    You too think its impossible for her not to like me, right? Dont you have an uncle whos doing business in Thand? Ask him if he knows how to dispel the enchantment. It could also be some kind of gu poison. Nian Junting put both hands on the desk, looked at Xiao Si, and said, Tame Head is also possible.


    No way, did she really say that? Xiao Si recovered from the shock and took a deep breath.


    Yeah, that didnt sound like something she might say. The more Nian Junting thought about what happened, the more agitated he was. Atst, he punched the desk.


    Damn you, Chi Shengxu. Why did you do it in such a dirty way? He couldnt imagine what his life would turn into if Luosang didnt love him. It would be even more painful than having a dagger thrust into his chest.


    Xiao Si didnt say anything. Seeing the fear in the eyes of his good friend, he couldnt help but recall how proud he was days ago. Somehow, he took pleasure in Nian Juntings misfortune, even though he knew that it was awful. You shouldnt show off all day long, he thought. And you shouldnt say that Ill know how you feel when I have your charm. But, how could Luosang say something like that? That was so hurtful. Are we both wrong about her?


    Xiao Si couched his words and said with pity, Well In fact, enchantment is only hearsay. It might not be real, and, and probably What Luosang said is true.


    Impossible. Nian Juntings angry face froze for a second, showing a trace of panic. Dont I know if she likes me or not? he said.


    Then Maybe shes under threat, Xiao Si hurriedlyforted Nian Junting. He was afraid that thetter might try to kill him if he insisted.


    Yes, that must be so. Nian Juntings dim eyes glowed again. Whos able to threaten her? Ive got it. It must be Nian Qingyun, that b*stard.


    Xiao Si was speechless. Is it okay for you to call your father that?


    He threatened my woman. Calling him a b*stard is already nice, Nian Junting replied in a frosty tone.


    Why are you so sure? Can you prove it? Xiao Si asked curiously.

 Chapter 630. Now That Shes Dumped You, I think I Quite Like Her

    Chapter 630. Now That She''s Dumped You, I think I Quite Like Her


    Whatever I say is evidence enough. Nian Junting stood up and patted his shoulder. Not bad, youve reminded me. Youve shown great improvement in your EQ. You will seed in wooing Ji Nuanyi. He quickly took his car keys and left.


    Xiao Si facepalmed. He should have straight up told him that he was being dumped. Served him right, though. He ought to be dumped for being such a crappy brother. He had no idea why he was so d to see him get dumped. The next thing to do would be to find himself a girlfriend to further antagonize him. He was gleeful just thinking about his n.


    Nian Junting sped to Nian Qingyuns office building. After notifying the security guard, he barged into his fathers office without waiting for the secretary to go fetch him.


    Nian Qingyun was still at the door seeing his superiors out. When he saw Nian Junting walk towards him, his face was dark with anger. Who said you could barge in here without permission? You dont think I will ask the guards to arrest you?


    Old Nian, dont hold it against your own son, one of his old colleagues said with a light chuckle. Junting has done remarkably well since he left the army. Ive asked my grandsons to look up to him as their role model.


    What kind of role model is he? He doesnt obey rules Before he could finish, Nian Junting had already pulled him into the office and shut the door with a loud bang.


    Nian Junting, arent you being a little brazen? Nian Qingyun was furious with his sons impudent behavior.


    Nian Junting looked at him harshly. My manners and teachings all went out the window when you decided to threaten my girlfriend.


    Me? I threatened your girlfriend? Are you talking about Xu Luosang? Nian Qingyun was astounded by the sudden usation.


    Of course. Do I have another girlfriend? She wants to break up with me now. Nian Juntings face tightened. Who else could threaten her other than you? Maybe grandpa, but you are the biggest suspect! You are always up to no good.


    Nian Qingyun nearly vomited blood out of anger. He was up to no good? Was this man his son or his enemy from his past life? How can you me everything on me when she wants to break up with you? Have you never considered that the problem lies in you?


    What problem do I have? Im outstanding, capable, handsome, and perfect. No normal woman would ever want to break up with me. Nian Junting gave him a smirk. Youre looking for all sorts of ways to break us apart, to force me to marry Leng Shuangwei. You want to be inws with Jiang Qifei. You still have delusions for her!


    Nian Qingyun clutched his chest. His whole body was shaking. He would definitely die of a heart attack because of his son. When did I ever want to be inws with Jiang Qifei? After fighting with your mother since that time, I havent mentioned it at all. Even when Jiang Qifei came to talk to me, I didnt agree to her requests.


    Nian Qingyun sighed. Im telling you, youre narcissistic, foul-tempered, arrogant, and spoiled. I cant believe you make your woman peel prawns for you. I didnt want to reprimand you on WeChat because I didnt want to embarrass you and myself. No wonder you were dumped. I didnt like Xu Luosang at first, but now that shes dumped you, I think I quite like her.


    Whats wrong with peeling a prawn? She wanted to do it for me. My mother doesnt even want to look at you. Nian Junting mocked him in return. Sticks and stones wont break my bones. You are just jealous of me. Tell me the truth, what did you do to Xu Luosang? Did you threaten her that you would never let Xu Zhengxuan clear his name if she doesnt leave me?

 Chapter 631. Did You Read That File?

    Chapter 631. Did You Read That File?


    I didnt, I didnt, I didnt! Nian Qingyun was so angry that he repeated his words three times.


    I dont believe you, Nian Junting replied with four words.


    Believe it or not. Nian Qingyun didnt even want to continue this argument.


    Its either you or Grandpa. Nian Junting stared at Nian Qingyuns face to observe his expression. He doesnt look guilty at all. It made sense, though. Hes such a hypocritical man, he thought.


    If your grandpa did this, hed tell me about it. Nian Qingyun sighed. I admit that I did want to tell Xu Luosang that as long as she left you, Id clear her fathers name. However, I didnt do it, as I dont want your mother to be angry with me. Weve already divorced, after all. I let you handle it by yourselves. Now theres a problem between you, but you cant me me for everything. If I had done it, Id admit it.


    Who knows? You like doing things stealthily, said Nian Junting coldly.


    Nian Qingyun clenched his teeth and said, I swear to God, I didnt do it. If it was me, Id be struck to death by lightning.


    Nian Junting spent a moment staring straight at his father, then his heart sank deeper and deeper. If Nian Qingyun hadnt threatened her, why did she break up with him? Was what she said real? Youd better be telling the truth, or Ill no longer be your son, Nian Junting said in an icy-cold voice, then mmed the door and left.


    Nian Qingyun cursed in his head, then turned around. Suddenly, he recalled that Jiang Qifei had gone to his office a few days ago. His heart missed a beat. Jiang Qifei didnt read the file and threaten Luosang with it, did she? She couldnt be so contemptible. After all, she used to be gentle and nice. But, it was hard to tell that she


    He rubbed his temples, then took out his phone and called Jiang Qifei.


    Qingyun, why did you call me? Jiang Qifei said in surprise.


    Nian Qingyun cleared his throat and said, Qifei, let me ask you something. I want you to answer me honestly. Last time, when you were in my office, did you read that file?


    File? Jiang Qifei responded with confusion. What file? I dont know. Is some important army file leaked?


    You didnt read it? Good.


    Weve known each other for a long time, said Jiang Qifei with a gentle voice. Dont I know how important those things in your office can be? Im not so silly. Reading a file in your office may bring trouble to myself.


    Im d that you know, Nian Qingyun said. I gotta go.


    Qingyun, Jiang Qifei suddenly called his name.


    Eh?


    Nothing, bye. Take care. Youre not young anymore after all, she said.


    Thank you. Nian Qingyun ended the call.


    He sat on the chair and spent a short while thinking. Just in case, he summoned his new secretary, Xie, and asked him, Last time, I asked Xue to look into Xu Zhengxuans case. You go and follow it up. Also, find out what Jiang Qifei has been up to recently.


    Yes, sir. Xie nodded.


    Nian Junting came out of his office and drove alone for a while. He didnt know where to go. For the very first time in his life, he had a problem that he could not solve. He thought about it over and over again, then felt that Nian Qingyun might be right. Perhaps Luosang was mad because he always asked her to pick fish bones and peel shrimp for him.


    His eyes glowed slightly as he hurriedly turned the steering wheel and headed to the market. It was the first time he had set foot in a market. He bought some shrimp and a fish, then drove to Luosangs apartment

 Chapter 632. I Wont Let You Spoil Me Anymore, Ill Spoil You Instead.

    Chapter 632. I Won''t Let You Spoil Me Anymore, I''ll Spoil You Instead.


    It was still early. Luosang wasnt home yet. He decided to sit on the edge of the nter downstairs to wait for her. At five oclock, Yan Su and Luosang appeared hand in hand. Nian Junting stood up immediately. His tall and lean physique was always a sight to behold. Even with bags of prawns and fish in his hands, he still looked as handsome as ever. Luosang caught sight of him from far away. She quickly turned her face away and pretended she didnt see him as she pulled Yan Su along towards their gate.


    Nian Junting walked over to them with brisk steps and blocked her path. He said in a low voice, Are you upset about having to peel prawns for me? I bought many prawns. Ill peel as many as you want tonight. Dont be angry with me anymore. Im not going to be angry about what happened with Chi Shengxu earlier. I know you were using him to make me jealous. It was rare for him to be so docile and relenting. Luosangs heart nearly melted. She wanted to leap into his embrace. Why was he so silly? How could he think that she was angry with him because of the prawns?


    He had bought so many prawns and fish, too. He had probably never been to the wet market in his life. She bit her lip and willed herself to stay strong. Its not because of the prawns. Didnt I make myself clear enough in the afternoon? I dont like you. Luosang looked up. I wonte back, even if you peel prawns for me for the rest of your life. I like Chi Shengxu now. He will peel prawns for me if I want.


    Nian Junting blinked in disbelief. It was the first time he couldnt bear to look into her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was cold, and his heart ached every time he looked. Im telling you, Ill peel prawns for you for the rest of our lives. I wont ever make you peel them for me again, ok? His gaze was stubborn. Ill pick out fish bones for you, too, peel fruit and everything. I wont let you spoil me anymore. Ill spoil you instead starting from tonight, if you dont believe me. His soft tone was almost begging for her affection in return. He was trying so hard to win her back, even Yan Su felt bad for him. It wasnt easy for someone so high up like him to say those things.


    I dont want it. Youre not the right person for me. No matter how good you are, I dont want it. Luosang shook her head and dragged Yan Su along.


    Nian Junting was stunned before he chased after them. When Luosang pressed the elevator buttons, she turned to see that he was still behind them. She nearly burst into tears. What are you doing still following us? Havent I made myself clear enough?


    I want to peel prawns for you, Nian Junting said. Youre doing this on purpose to make me angry.


    Are we not speaking the samenguage? I dont want you to peel prawns for me. Luosang raised her voice. I admit that you are good at earning money, but I cant stand your awfully low EQ. Ive never met anyone as entric and strange as you. You are narcissistic, arrogant, bossy, and domineering, and you always expect me to hanker after you and cater to your needs. Youre like a master, and I am your servant. Youre so much older than me, too. Im sick of you and your family. If not for my dad, I would never have been together with you. Why are you so useless? You cant even save my dad. I dont wish to waste any more time on you. Im breaking up with you, whats so difficult to understand? Were not married. I havent taken any of your rings or clothes. Stop bothering me now.


    Nian Junting stared hard at her. It was the worst blow he had ever received. He was stunned, and his breathing was hard. She could tell he was very agitated.


    Stop bothering me. Ah Xun will be bothered if he finds out about this. Luosang walked into the elevator and pressed the close button. When the doors closed, Luosang could no longer hold back her tears.

 Chapter 633. Unknowingly, He Had Given Her His Heart

    Chapter 633. Unknowingly, He Had Given Her His Heart


    She felt as if a knife were piercing her heart. She had no strong feelings when he was with her every single day. But now, when they were parted, she realized that seeing him suffering any pain and noticing the slight sadness in his heart would even cost her life. She was best at acting, but she didnt expect it to be so difficult and painful.


    Yan Su sighed, handed her a piece of tissue, and said, Those words you said were too hurtful. Mr. Nian couldnt even react.


    Ill be better soon. When I get the evidence, hell know the truth. Luosang nodded with tearful eyes. I hope he wonte to see me. I dont want to hurt him deeper, and I dont want him to lose hope, either.


    Eh, you love each other so deeply. I dont think hell lose hope so easily. Yan Su sighed. She understood how Luosang felt. If he lost hope too easily, his love for her would be questionable. If he never lost hope, hurting him would be as bad as hurting herself.


    Outside the elevator, Nian Junting watched the number on the screen grow bigger. He didnt understand. Seriously, he was such a good man, but why had Luosang called him a freak and used him of being narcissistic and arrogant? She had never said such words before.


    Was he really so repulsive? Wasnt he a good man? Why had she changed suddenly? She said that he was annoying and told him not to bother her again. The more he thought, the more he felt that Luosangs words were like whipsshing him. Unwittingly, his skin was cut open, and his flesh was torn. The shrimp and fish fell to the ground from his hand. He turned and walked out.


    A middle-aged woman walked in, looked at the food on the ground, and said, Young man, your shrimp and fish fell on the ground.


    He didnt respond. He got into the car and started the engine. He didnt know where he should go. A whileter, his phone rang. It was Sister Lan. Young Master, are youing back for dinner tonight? Is Sangsanging?


    Sangsang Nian Junting murmured her name in his head.


    Young Master


    Im noting back, neither is she. Shell nevere back


    What?


    Shes noting. I said that shell nevere back again, Nian Junting yelled at the phone. After that, he found his eyes turning red. He was choked up.


    It wasnt the first time he had broken up with someone. When he broke up with Leng Shuangwei, he wasnt as panicked as he was now. Now, he didnt even dare to imagine his life without Luosang. Except for the fact that his parents were divorced and that he was forced to break up with Leng Shuangwei, his life had been perfect. He thought Luosang had a crush on him first. As they spent some time together, he grew fond of her, and naturally, they got together.


    After they became boyfriend and girlfriend, he never thought about breaking up with her. All he ever thought about was marrying her. He couldnt tell if the days he spent with her could be counted as a happy time, but he did feel happy. He always wanted to see her. When he couldnt see her, he missed her.


    He knew that he loved her but didnt think deeply about how much he loved her. She suddenly told him that shes in love with someone else, and that she never really liked him. He felt that his heart had been torn into pieces.


    It turned out that he cared about her so much. It turned out that he had unknowingly given her his heart. It turned out that he couldnt live without her, that she was like oxygen to him. His oxygen was gone now, and it felt hard to breathe.


    If he had known this earlier, he would have been nicer to her. If he had known, he would have peeled shrimp and fruit for her every single day. If he had known, he wouldnt have always fought with her because of Chi Shengxu.

 Chapter 634. Not Even Your Blood Type or Your Horoscope Is as Good as Hers

    Chapter 634. Not Even Your Blood Type or Your Horoscope Is as Good as Hers


    At one oclock in the morning.


    Nian Junting didnt return home. Sister Lan couldnt contact him. She was worried sick, so she decided to call Luosang. Sang, is Young Master staying over at your ce? Did you guys fight? He sounded weird over the phone this evening.


    Luosang couldnt fall asleep. She sat upright when she heard what Sister Lan had said. She nearly blurted out, Ill contact him, but she quickly stopped herself and said, We broke up. You should check with Nian Xi or Xiao Si.


    What? Broke up? Why did you break up? Sister Lan was shocked. Impossible, you youngsters shouldnt use it so casually in your petty fights. Its very hurtful.


    We really broke up, Sister Lan. Luosang tried hard to contain her heartbreak. She had to make Sister Lan believe her as well, even though she hated it. Ive made things clear with him already.


    Sang, dont joke around. Sister Lan sounded serious, too. Although Young Master can be annoying at times, he really does love you.


    Yeah, but I dont think were suitable for each other. As you said, he can be quite a piece of work. I cant take it anymore. Its normal for couples to separate and break up. Im still young. Hes an adult. He might be off somewhere drinking. You should ask Xiao Si to go look for him. Luosang hung up when she was done.


    Sister Lan recognized how serious this episode was. Although Young Master acted nonchntly, he was innocent and nave when it came to romantic rtionships. For someone as confident as he was, he had it harder than anyone else.


    Sister Lan called Xiao Si immediately. Xiao Si hadnt expected things to be serious, either. He climbed out of bed, and hebed bar after bar looking for Nian Junting. Finally, he went to a bar that they had gone to previously and found Nian Junting there as drunk as a skunk.


    He was sitting at the bar, and a sexy woman approached him. Handsome, its sote. Do you want toe home with me? The woman tried to rest her hands on his shoulders, but he grabbed her wrist immediately.


    Look at you. He red at her. He already had an Asian flush. Look at how much makeup youve got on. Your eyes arent as big as Luos, your nose is not as pretty, your hair not as smooth, your lips not as sexy. Youre nothingpared to my Luo, not even your blood type or your horoscope is as good as hers. Scram. Even though he was drunk, he was still very strong as he pushed thedy away.


    The woman was furious. She had had her eyes on him for a long while. He was extremely handsome, and he wore an expensive watch on his wrist. She thought he must be someone important and that maybe she could have a one night stand with him or something. Who knew he would treat her so nastily?


    Why are you here alone, so drunk and rotten, if your Luo is so good? I bet she dumped you.


    Nian Junting mmed a ss cup onto the counter, and it shattered into a million pieces, the shards cutting into his palm. He couldnt feel the pain at all. Say that again if you dare, he growled.


    Calm down, calm down. Xiao Si stepped forward to stop him, and he said to the woman coldly, Leave now.


    Lunatics, the woman cursed and left them. She didnt dare to stay any longer.


    Youre here, Xiaosi? Nian Junting patted his back.


    Im Xiao Si, he said unceremoniously. Xiaosi was the dog.

 Chapter 635. I Knew You Didnt Want to Leave Me

    Chapter 635. I Knew You Didn''t Want to Leave Me


    Xiaosi, I broke up. Nian Junting burped, pulling at his cor with one hand. This area hurts so much. Why does it hurt so much? Am I sick?


    Xiao Si sighed. Last time he saw Nian Junting so drunk was when his parents had separated. He didnt act like this, even when he broke up with Leng Shuangwei. It seemed that he was really hurt. After all, he was such a proud and arrogant man. What on earth happened between you and Luosang? Didnt your dad threaten her? Xiao Si asked.


    Nian Junting shook his head. He was so drunk, he looked as confused as a kid who had lost his way. No. She said that Im narcissistic, bossy, arrogant, and that Im a freak. Am I not perfect? Doesnt she love me so much? I didnt know I had so many problems. She doesnt like me, she doesnt like While speaking, he beganughing, and his eyes turned red. He turned his face away and waved a hand at the bartender. Alcohol, give me some alcohol.


    Stop drinking. Xiao Si stopped him. Itste. Lets go home.


    Im not going. I want to be drunk. Im sad. Ill stop being sad when Im drunk. Nian Junting refused to leave the bar. Xiao Si had no other choice but to stay with him. The bartender opened another bottle of whiskey. Nian Junting poured himself a full ss, then continued drinking. Xiao Si took a photo of him and sent it to Luosang. He sat there for a while, then called Luosang.


    Si, why are you calling sote?


    Dont call me that. I dont deserve it, said Xiao Si angrily. Look at the photo I just sent you on WeChat.


    Luosang opened her WeChat and saw Nian Junting drinking with red cheeks. His coat had been thrown into a corner. He was only wearing a shirt, sleeves rolled up, and the buttons before his chest were undone. She was stunned. Since she had known him, she had hardly seen him in such a miserable state, except for that time when he was back from the border of China and India. He never looked so decadent.


    Do you see that? Xiao Si said, I dont know what exactly happened between you, or why you broke up with him, but I can tell you that Ive never seen him suffer such pain. Luosang, I admit that he can be narcissistic and mean, and that even as his friend, I sometimes want to punch him in the face. But, hes been really nice to you. If theres a problem between you two, you dont need to break up unfeelingly. Just take some time to make things work. Its not like hes unwilling to make changes for you.


    Luosang, he continued, Think about it. Who stood by your side unconditionally when Yi Jingxi and Zhongyi tried to destroy you? You asked him to help your father, and he did it without hesitation. Yi Jingxi hurt you, so he made the Yi Group his enemy. You said that you want to be with Chi Shengxu. Did Chi Shengxu do these things for you?


    Take good care of him for me. I have made up my mind to break up with him. Bye, Luosang ended the call. She knew that her breaking up with Nian Junting would make Xiao Si angry. That was unavoidable. It was the only way to make Jiang Qifei believe her.


    Xiao Si looked at his phone in surprise. He couldnt believe it. Why had Luosang be like this? No wonder Nian Junting couldnt ept it. He couldnt ept it, either. Had he been wrong about her? Had she been hiding her real face too well? Stop drinking, Ill drive you home. Xiao Si took away the ss in Nian Juntings hand.


    Nian Junting was too drunk to even stand up, so Xiao Si had to help him walk out of the bar. Xiao Si woke him up. He grabbed Xiao Sis hand, kissed it, and said, Luo, youre here for me. I knew you didnt want to leave me.

 Chapter 636. Since When Was Sang Your Mistress?

    Chapter 636. Since When Was Sang Your Mistress?


    Let go of me, gross! Xiao Si screamed. He wanted to chop his hand off.


    Yeah, Im gross. Im only gross to you. Nian Junting pounced on him and looked at him lovingly with his dark eyes. He looked like he was about to force himself on him.


    Xiao Si was desperate. Even when he was drunk in the past, Nian Junting had never mistaken the appearance of other people. Wake up, I am Xiao Si.


    Nian Juntingughed softly. Xiaosi is a dog. Do you think I cant differentiate a man from a dog? Just as he finished, he nted a kiss on Xiao Si. Xiao Si covered his mouth frantically.


    Youre home, Young Master? Sister Lan came rushing and saw the scene before her and let out a yelp. She quickly covered her eyes. It was too scandalous to watch.


    Sister Lan,e help! Pull him off me! Xiao Si yelled.


    Sister Lan ran to his aid and pulled Nian Junting off of him. Xiao Si heaved a sigh of relief. That was terrifying. He was nearly turned gay. The two of them carried Nian Junting to the master bedroom and threw him onto the bed.


    Nian Junting turned and started kissing the pillow as he continued to chant, Luo under his breath.


    Sister Lan removed his shoes, and she turned to Xiao Si grumpily. Master Xiao, tell me the truth, did Young Master and Luosang break up because of you?


    Xiao Si was stunned. Me?


    You are in love with Young Master. Thats why youre breaking them up. Sister Lan continued, I saw everything just now. You tried to seduce Young Master while he was drunk. You are both men. You wont be happy together. Young Master loves Sang a lot. No wonder you havent found yourself a girlfriend. After so long, I finally understand.


    Xiao Si felt ill. He mistook me for Luosang, alright?


    Really? Sister Lan looked at him suspiciously. Although you two look aesthetically pleasing together, please dont take the wrong path. She was hoping to raise Sang and Young Masters children.


    Aesthetically pleasing? Even his nanny was an entricdy. Too bad the only normal one, Luosang, was gone. Xiao Si was exhausted, both mentally and physically.


    The next day, the sky was gloomy, and there was a light drizzle. Nian Junting opened his eyes. He wondered how he ended up in his own bedst night and why he was hugging a pillow. It was the first time he had drunk so much, and he had a throbbing headache.


    He remembered Luosanging overst night. He sat up suddenly and quickly walked downstairs. Sister Lan was preparing lunch when she saw him. Young Master, youre awake. Ive made some hangover soup for you.


    Wheres Mistress? Nian Junting looked around curiously.


    Mistress? Sister Lan was confused. Shes at work in Zhongzhou.


    Nian Juntings face fell. Im referring to Luosang.


    Sister Lan was speechless. Since when was Sang your Mistress?


    Now, from this moment forth, Nian Junting said icily.


    Hadnt they broken up yesterday? Sister Lans mouth twitched. Mistress isnt here. She didnte back. Young Mistress said she broke up with you.


    Nonsense, she brought me back herest night.


    That was Master Xiao.


    No, it was Young Mistress, Nian Junting said insistently.


    Young Master, you had too much to drink, and you couldnt recognize him. You mistook Master Xiao for Young Mistress, Sister Lan said helplessly.


    Nian Junting was shocked. He stood on the spot, and his vision turned gloomy. He recalled everything. She had dumped him mercilessly yesterday.

 Chapter 637. A Gentleman Is Going to Read a Love Poem for Luosang

    Chapter 637. A Gentleman Is Going to Read a Love Poem for Luosang


    Seeing her Young Master acting like a soulless man, Sister Lan felt heartburn. Young Master, if you cant forget her, just go after her. As the old saying goes, a good girl is afraid of the stubborn wolf, she said.


    Can I win her back? Nian Junting asked. He believed that she didnt like him, and that in her eyes, he was the problem.


    As the old saying goes, as long as the thief works hard enough, no girlfriend cant be stolen, Sister Lan encouraged him.


    You call me a thief? Nian Junting red at her with sharp eyes. She was my girlfriend a couple of days ago.


    I was just trying to make a metaphor. I didnt spend much time in school, said Sister Lan. Im gonna say something honest to you, but you have to promise that you wont fire me for that.


    Say it. Nian Junting raised a hand. I promise I wont fire you.


    You acted like a big boss at home. Sister Lan couldnt help but start using him. Youre unreasonable and arrogant. And, you always said that Sangsang pursued you first. If you ask me, Id say thats unfair. When she was your caregiver, she did nothing inappropriate, but you said that she tried to seduce you. And, after she became your girlfriend, you hardly bought her flowers or made romantic ns for her. The other boys always peel shrimp and crab for their girlfriends, but you always made her serve you. And you always found all sorts of excuses to make her cook for you. When you guys eat fruit, you sometimes order her to feed you. Also, you sometimes pretended that your legs were broken and asked her to carry you to bed. Apart from all that, you forbade her from talking to other men. You kept track of her whereabouts every single second, as if youre the FBI. Seriously, how could you do that? I never even did the same to my son. As Sister Lan finished talking, the entire room fell into silence. Only the noise of the rain could be heard from the outside.


    Nian Junting stood on the stairs and looked down at her ragingly, as if he were going to eat her. What did she just say? Was he unreasonable and arrogant? How could she use those awful words on him? He wanted to tear Sister Lan into pieces so much.


    Sister Lan flinched, saying, You said that you wouldnt fire me.


    I wont fire you, but Ill deduct your wages. Nian Junting sneered, turned, and walked upstairs. In the bedroom, he found traces of Luosang all over the room. They whispered to each other on the bed, fed each other on the couch. When he was working behind the desk, she put her arms around him from behind. Nian Junting felt a pain in his chest. It hurt so much that he even felt suffocated.


    He couldnt live without her. He was so sure about that. By any means, he needed to win her back.


    Luosang sat in the ssroom, feeling heavy-headed. She couldnt sleepst night, because she was worrying about Nian Junting. She guessed that he wouldnte back to find her, as she had said such cruel words to him yesterday. Please donte back. I might copse if I need to say worse things to you, she prayed silently.


    Are you okay? Chi Shengxu asked in concern.


    Im fine. Thank you for doing me this favor. Luosang gave a bitter smile.


    I guess Nian Junting wouldnt believe it if you did it with someone else. After all, hes been seeing me as his number one rival in love. Chi Shengxu gave her aplicated smile. You like him so much. Im surprised that Im qualified to be his rival in love. This is really unbelievable.


    She recalled how Nian Junting was jealous of Chi Shengxu. Back then, she felt that he was unreasonable, but now, she was suddenly full of sweetness.


    Dear students, here is a special notice. An announcers voice could suddenly be heard. A gentleman whose name is Nian Junting is going to read a love poem for Luo Sang from the Broadcasting Department.

 Chapter 638. Let Me Chase You Instead, Mr. Nian

    Chapter 638. Let Me Chase You Instead, Mr. Nian


    The ssroom was in chaos. Everyone was looking at Luosang with envy. The rumors about Nian Junting and her had been spread all over campus previously. Everyone knew that Nian Junting was a self-made CEO of a listedpany, and most importantly, that his family was rich, and he was extremely handsome. He was a stark contrast to those old bosses with beer bellies.


    He had oftene to pick Luosang up from school as well, and many of her ssmates had seen them together. No one on campus was as good looking as he was. Now, he was reciting a love poem in public. He was setting the bar too high.


    Luosang was stunned and speechless. How could he disrupt everyones learning and recite a love poem in ss? The most incredible thing was when Professor Li grinned and said, Be quiet everyone. Lets all pay attention to the poem. The boys should listen and learn from Mr. Nian, using a love poem to woo his girlfriend. Following that, the ss was silent and attentive.


    Nian Juntings maic and raspy voice was broadcast over the speakers. Luo, please allow me to call you that still. Although you asked for a breakup, I havent agreed to it yet, so its a one-sided request.


    The whole ss burst intoughter. Luosang covered her face with her hands. She wanted to crawl underneath the table. The shameless man had revealed himself to the entire school.


    Over the speakers, he continued, We havent been together for long. I have many things I have yet to say to you. I dont remember when exactly I fell in love with you, but I remember the night we met at the club. You had the most beautiful eyes. Your pink lips, your shiny hair, and your sweet smell left a deep impression. I could hear my heart thump the moment I saw you. It was a wonderful moment, unforgettable. Now that you want to break up with me, its probably because Im not good enough, not attentive enough, not gentle and considerate enough. I am willing to change all of that. Ill buy you flowers every day, dry your hair, cook for you. I will peel fruit, prawns, crab, anything you want for you. Ill hand over all my sry and savings, and I will love you forever. Luo, will you return to me, please?


    Im willing, Im willing! Let me chase you instead, Mr. Nian! a brazen girl from the ss shouted, and the other girls started shouting, too.


    Luosang was stunned. Soon, she realized that her hands were wet. They were wet from her tears. Nian Junting, you idiot. Didnt he always say she was the one who chased after him? What was he doing confessing his love so publicly? Why was he reciting the love poem out loud? Wasnt he always trying to keep up his cool and nonchnt image?


    How could she continue with the show? The more she thought about it, the more she could not resist suddenly breaking into a smile.


    The voice continued, If youre still unwilling, Ill be standing here waiting for you toe back.


    Ahhh, Mr. Nians voice is so moving. One of the girls fawned. Luosang, say yes to him. Get back together, dont hesitate any longer. If you hesitate, were all going to woo him instead.


    Professor Li, who was still standing on the tform, cleared his throat. Its very touching, Luosang. Why dont you agree with him?

 Chapter 639. Dont Share It with Yan Su

    Chapter 639. Don''t Share It with Yan Su


    Luosang didnt know if she shouldugh or cry. She just wanted to break up with him and get the evidence from Jiang Qifei. Now the whole school knew. She should have thought about this earlier. She underestimated how strange Nian Juntings way of thinking was. He never made judgements like a normal guy. In fact, he always took unusual paths.


    Sitting beside her, Chi Shengxu covered his face with a book and sighed. What should I do? I am touched by Mr. Nian, too. Seriously, he didnt understand why Luosang had chosen Nian Junting before, as he was six or seven years older than she was. He had been keeping his feelings to himself the whole time and thinking that what he had done for Luosang was pretty admirable. Now,pared to Nian Junting, he felt that he was childish.


    Luosang suddenly stood up, closed her book, and rushed out. She rushed straight into the presidents office. Luosang, why arent you in ss? President He smiled at her.


    Luosang pointed outside, gasped for air, then said, President He, its inappropriate for Mr. Nian to read a love poem like that during a ss, isnt it? Our ss was interrupted. Arent you gonna say anything about it?


    Youre such a heartless child, said Principle He. Mr. Nians poem was so touching. Ive allowed Mr. Nian to do whatever he wants in school, so that you love birds will finally be together. Dont forget to invite me to your wedding. The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched. She had forgotten that after taking a ss from Nian Juntingst time, President He had basically be his henchman.


    Go back to your ss. I still have work to do. President He waved a hand.


    When she walked out of the presidents office, the bell for the end of the ss was heard. Yan Su called Luosang. They agreed to meet at the entrance of the cafeteria and have lunch together.


    Seeing her, Yan Su raised her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes, and lowered her voice to mimic Nian Junting talking. Your bright and watery eyes, slightly curly long hair, and cherry-like lips, oh my, my heart missed a beat


    Luosang even wanted a hole to crawl into. Please dont. He didnt say, oh my, did he?


    He didnt, but my heart thumped and that made me want to say, oh my, Yan Su said, smiling. That was so sweet. Eh, Mr. Nian is seriously too good. Yesterday, you talked to him like that, but hes actually not mad at you. On the contrary, hes even trying to pursue you again. Before, you always said that hes mean. Yan Su clicked her tongue and said, I think youre mean.


    Are you willing to give up your Shi Xiang? asked Luosang.


    If Mr. Nian was going after me, Id give him up. After all, hes not as good as Mr. Nian. Yan Su curved her mouth into a smile.


    While chatting, they went to buy their meals. When they arrived at the food area, a middle-aged female cafeteria staff member took a few nces at Luosang, then suddenly handed her a dark-colored, delicate lunch box. She then said to her, Miss, this is your meal. Mr. Nian prepared it for you.


    Luosang paused for a second, then opened the lunch box. The rice in that box was decorated with a piglet pattern that was made from carrots. Besides the rice, there were chicken wings, peeled shrimp, pork ribs, and broli.


    Wow, so pretty! Yan Su eximed.


    Luosang recalled what Nian Junting had saidYoure a happy little piglet in my eyes.


    Why was his EQ suddenly boosted up? Luosang nearly copsed.


    Mr. Nian didnt make this himself, did he? asked Yan Su.


    I dont think so. Hes not good at cooking. Luosang guessed, I think Sister Lan made this.


    Sit, sit down. Let me try some of this. Yan Su pushed her to a seat.


    Luosang took out her chopsticks. Then suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper under the box. She took it out and found that it was a note with a few words written on it in a manly style of writingDo not share it with Yan Su.

 Chapter 640. Three Lifetimes and Three Eternities

    Chapter 640. Three Lifetimes and Three Eternities


    She handed the note to Yan Su. Yan Sus outstretched hand froze in midair, and her heart broke. She had been his loyal spy all the while and said good things about him all the time. All she got in exchange was his note that indicated she was not allowed to share Luosangs food.


    Ignore him, dig in. I cant finish everything, anyway, Luosang said.


    Wait, theres another note down there. Yan Su pulled out another slip of paper underneath. It said, If Yan Su eats this, she will bear the consequences of a ruined career. Yan Su put down her chopsticks begrudgingly. Forget it, Im not eating.


    Luosang was speechless. It was just lunch. Did he really have to threaten and scare her like that? She picked up a chicken wing and bit into the meat. It was delicious, but when she looked down, the chicken was still red in the middle, uncooked. She put down the wing and took a bite of the pork rib. Again, it was pink in the middle, uncooked. Alright, she could still eat the vegetables, she thought. She took a bite of the broli, and it was mushy, overcooked.


    Yan Su looked at her sympathetically, relieved that she had decided not to try the food. Im sure he cooked this himself.


    Luosang was convinced, too. The food looked good, but if she really ate it all, she would probably get an upset tummy. Luckily, the cocktail shrimp was cooked and edible. It was just that it didnt go well with rice.


    Yan Su couldnt bear to watch her and shared some of her food with her. Do you think he will deliver this awful bento box to you every day if you still refuse to get back together with him?


    Luosang shuddered in horror just thinking about it. She didnt care about what she wore or used, but she was particr about food. It was important to her that she ate well. After her unsatisfying lunch, she decided to buy some snacks at the school gate.


    The two girls walked towards their destination, and suddenly, a female student stuffed a pink rose into her hands and grinned at her. Luosang, please get back together with Mr. Nian.


    Luosang was stunned. She didnt walk for long before a male ssmate handed her another rose. Mr. Nian is waiting for you! And then someone else handed her yet another. Hey, Mr. Nian is amazing. If you dont want him, give him to me! By the time she reached the school gate, she had received 33 long-stemmed pink roses.


    Yan Su checked her phone quickly. Wow, 33 roses stand for three lifetimes and three eternities.


    Luosang bent to smell the roses. She was really impressed with the entire romantic gig. He was making such a big deal out of the entire thing, Jiang Qifei must know about this. Although she was pleased, it wasnt in line with her original ns.


    What are you going to do? Are you still holding out? Yan Su sighed as she nced over at Luosangs blissful expression. She was beaming from the inside. Yan Su, on the other hand, wanted to cry. It was discouraging topare her own rtionship to her good friends, all in the middle of a breakup! The whole school was envious of Luosang, of course, so she wasnt alone in this.


    I dont know. Luosang didnt know what to say. It was only the second day after she brought it up. She didnt know how she was going tost three months. If he continued down this path, there was no way she could stay away from him.


    Its the holidays tomorrow. Im noting to school. Im going to camp at home over the next two days. Ill really break down if I continue seeing this.


    Hang in there. Yan Su encouraged her as she patted her back. She pitied her.


    The next day when she woke up, the trending topic online was, Shengtings CEO broadcast a love poem to win back his ex-girlfriend. Luosang clicked on the hyperlink. The article was about what Nian Junting had done in school the day before. She had no idea who had posted about his romantic bento box and the flowers.

 Chapter 641. Put a Gift in His Hands

    Chapter 641. Put a Gift in His Hands


    Many peoplemented:


    I Am A Gorgeous LadyMr. Nian, if I go after you, will you give me a chance?


    A powerful fortune tellerPlease give me a dozen men like this.


    Call Me SisterIm flying to Xia City to pursue Mr. Nian.


    There were over 6,000ments under that post. Luosang learned that many people were jealous of her. However, she wasnt happy at all. Now so many people knew, Jiang Qifei must know about it, too.


    Once she started thinking about that, she got a call from Jiang Qifei. Xu Luosang, is this your way of breaking up with Nian Junting? Jiang Qifei said sarcastically. Its so interesting. I guess you just dont want the evidence.


    Ive been cruel enough to him. I didnt expect him to do this. Luosang smiled bitterly. What she had been worrying about had nowe true. Its never easy to end a rtionship between two people.


    The cruelest way is the way I told you, but you arent willing to do it. Are you breaking up now? Or are you falling in love again? Have you been fooling me? Are you buying time? said Jiang Qifei impatiently. Do you want the evidence or not? Maybe I should burn it.


    Luosang clenched her teeth and said coldly, If you burn it, your daughter will never have a chance to get back together with Nian Junting.


    Yeah, the worst thing that may happen to my daughter is that she might not be able to get back together with her ex-boyfriend, but your father might spend the rest of his life in prison. Jiang Qifei didnt take Luosangs threat seriously at all. Go and tell Nian Junting about this if you want. However, that evidence is just a small thing. No matter how powerful he is, he wont be able to find it.


    Luosang struggled for a while but yielded atst. Im hiding in my apartment now. Im not going to see him. Give me some more time, she said.


    Next Monday, you must make him give up on youpletely. After saying that, Jiang Qifei ended the call.


    Luosang dropped her phone, walked to the balcony, and looked down. Suddenly, she found a familiar off-road car parked by the building. Nian Junting was leaning on the car, looking up.


    She hurriedly stepped backward. Her heart raced. Had he spent the whole night there? Had he just arrived? It was raining out there. Why didnt he hold up an umbre?


    Luosang squatted on the balcony and buried her head in her arms. He was really driving her crazy.


    Nian Junting stayed there until three pm. Xiao Si called him. Where are you? You havente to work in two days. Juste over here. We need your signature. Its urgent.


    You sign it. Im not in the mood, said Nian Junting ndly. Im standing downstairs at Luosangs. She didnte out today.


    Xiao Si gasped. Sister Lan said that you didnte homest night. You didnt spend the whole night there, did you?


    I did.


    Youre such a psycho. Xiao Si could scarcely believe it. Its raining out there now, okay? Have you been standing outside the whole time?


    Yes, Im torturing myself to make her change her mind.


    You won. Juste back now. This finance project needs to be signed by you, the CEO of thepany. You can y Don Juan, but dont harm the interests of the entirepany. Xiao Si sighed.


    Alright. Hearing that, Nian Junting nced at Luosangs window helplessly, then turned and got into the car.


    The door of the CEOs private elevator in Shengting opened. Nian Junting walked out toward his office. Suddenly, he saw Lu Kang sitting behind his desk. Qiao Xue looked around, then quickly and stealthily put a square box that was clearly a gift in his hands.

 Chapter 642. How Could She Confess to Him in Front of Their Boss?

    Chapter 642. How Could She Confess to Him in Front of Their Boss?


    Lu Kang was stunned. He looked up to see Qiao Xues pink and pretty face.


    You


    I thought I made it clear that there are no rtionships allowed in the office, a cold voice suddenly said.


    Qiao Xue and Lu Kang turned to meet Nian Juntings cold and hard gaze. They both shuddered in fear. Mr. Nian


    Nian Junting took away Lu Kangs present and opened it. It was a small and cute mug. The two of them were getting involved with each other right under his nose. It was disrespectful of them. Didnt they know that he had just broken up?


    Mr. Nian, when have you ever said that we werent allowed to date in the office? Qiao Xue stuttered as she mustered up all her courage. She remembered Mr. Nian encouraging all of them to look for their one true love just a while back, and that was the reason she decided to woo Assistant Lu.


    Just he said mercilessly.


    Seems like youve got a problem with that. Nian Junting raised his brows. Over here, my words are like the Holy Bible. What does this cup mean, anyway? Youd rather have broken jade than a preserved pot?


    Qiao Xue was stunned. She blushed and looked over at Lu Kang and said after a long while, No it means, youre my cup of tea.


    Lu Kang cleared his throat awkwardly. What an idiot. Couldnt she tell that their boss had fallen out of love recently? The wholepany was on their toes around him. How could she confess to him in front of their boss?


    Cup of tea? Nian Junting chuckled as he looked at the mug. He used to say all sorts of sweet things to Luosang, too. They promised each other forever. Now, she had left him with those empty promises.


    He squeezed the cup tightly in his hands and suddenly broke into augh. Lu Kang, how can you change your mind so hastily? Werent you chasing after Yan Su just a while ago?


    Who is Yan Su? Qiao Xue looked at Lu Kang in a daze.


    Lu Kang was helpless. Boss, when did I ever do that?


    Didnt you? Nian Junting raised his brows. To chance upon her, you dragged me to the movie theater when you heard that she was going there to catch a movie. You asked me to put you guys next to each other. When it rainedst year, you went over with flu tablets. You have quite a frivolous heart.


    You already fancy someone else. Qiao Xue looked traumatized. Her face was pale. Assistant Lu, Im sorry, I shouldnt have tried to woo you. Oh, Im such a fool. Sorry for bothering you. She took the mug from Nian Junting and ran away quickly.


    Hey, Qiao Xue Lu Kang was about to break down. Why did you do me dirty, boss? You did all that when you chased after Miss Xu.


    Nian Junting looked on as Qiao Xue ran away. You really had a change of heart?


    How could you change so easily? Nian Junting found it difficult toprehend. I thought you liked Yan Su a lot. How could you fall in love with someone else over such a short period of time? Qiao Xue? The stupid woman who nearly crushed me?


    Lu Kang was helpless. He never loved Yan Su so deeply like Nian Junting said he did. His boss hadpletely misunderstood him. He was the one who was madly in love with Miss Xu. Mr. Nian, I did fancy Yan Su, but she didnt like me back, and she has a boyfriend. Shes now a sessful artiste, and shes going to be a superstar in the spotlight with her Billboard track. Im just an assistant, and I have to get married someday, too. Lu Kang grimaced.

 Chapter 643. Ill Know That Shes Really Close to Me

    Chapter 643. I''ll Know That She''s Really Close to Me


    So you turned your back on her and went with Qiao Xue? Nian Junting asked.


    I didnt. I just felt that that girl is quite innocent and adorable. I guess I am a little fond of her, Lu Kang stuttered.


    You grow fond of people too easily. Nian Junting gave a cold smile, then walked into his office.


    Hearing what Nian Juntng said, Lu Kangs face burned. Normal guys would all do the same. To him, Yan Su was like a flower growing on a high mountain that he could not pick, but a man had to be with someone and get married. Who was like his boss? His love was outstanding and shocking.


    Hearing that Nian Junting was back, Xiao Si came upstairs with a file in five minutes. These days, Nian Junting hadnte to work, so he was responsible for all sorts of things in thepany. He really regretteding back now. If he had known things would be like this, hed rather have stayed in the Northwest.


    Nian Junting uncapped the pen, sighed his name, then threw the contract back to Xiao Si and stood up.


    Are you going back to Luosangs? Xiao Si hurriedly stopped him and said seriously, Its raining out there. You shouldnt mistreat yourself like this, even if you want to y the battered-body trick. Youre an adult. If you want to numb yourself, stay in thepany and distract yourself with work.


    Hearing his words, Nian Junting nced at him and said, Its not about me distracting myself with work. Its actually because you want to stay here and work overtime. Am I right? He had been close friends with Xiao Si for many years, so he knew him well enough. Xiao Si never liked working and was all about having fun.


    Xiao Si winced slightly, saying, Am I such a man? Im worried about you. Of course, most importantly, he couldnt handle the high-intensity work.


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a moment, then responded, Im not going there to y the battered-body trick. Its because when I go back to the vi, Ill see traces of her everywhere. That makes me very ufortable. Its better for me to stay at her ce downstairs. Even though I cant see her, at least Ill know that shes really close to me.


    Listening to him, Xiao Si had a sour feeling. He had never loved someone so deeply, so he didnt understand. How about the two of us ask for leave? Lets go abroad and take a vacation. When youre far away from her, youll realize that its not a big deal. Xiao Siforted him.


    Nian Junting shook his head without hesitation. Looking at Xiao Si with dislike, he said, I went on vacation with Luosang not long ago. Traveling with you would only constantly remind me of the days with her. Id be even more frustrated.


    Xiao Si didnt know what to say. He really should not worry about Nian Junting.


    Nian Family House


    It was the weekend. On his phone, Nian Qingyun watched the news about Nian Junting on the hot-search list, then said angrily, This kid brought shame on our family. Hes not a teenager anymore. He actually went to her school to read her a love poem in public.


    Nian Qingshanughed. It seems that Junting really cares about her. Big Brother, I never thought that youd have such a single-hearted son, hah.


    What do you mean? Nian Qingyun nced at him coldly. He had been in a really bad mood recently. It sounded like his brother was making fun of him for being unfaithful in love.


    Eh nothing. I have an appointment with a friend. Well y basketball. Im leaving now, Nian Qingshan said and hurriedly left.


    Five minutes after he left, Xie came in and said, Director, about the case you told me to look into earlier, I found something.


    Nian Qingyun was puzzled at first but soon realized what he was talking about.


    Three days after Xue handed me those files, the apartment of Zeng Lijuans boyfriend was swept by a thief. Her boyfriend was also robbed in the middle of the night on his way home. The robber took the recording, said Xie.


    Nian Qingyun immediately frowned. If Nian Junting took the recording, he would certainly have made some progress in the case.

 Chapter 645. Miss Xu Chose to Leave You Because of Her Father

    Chapter 645. Miss Xu Chose to Leave You Because of Her Father


    Hearing that, Nian Qingyun was immediately unhappy. Xu Luosang is really stone-hearted. My son is so nice to her, yet she treated him so cruelly for nothing but some evidence.


    Xieughed. Thats not some ordinary evidence. That evidence can save her father. Anyone would fall into a dilemma for that. Director, Young Master is not an unreasonable person. If you tell him now, he might rebuke you, but if he were to find out by himself, there would be serious trouble.


    Nian Junting pulled a long face. As a director, how could he ever be afraid of a rebuke from his son? That would be seriously embarrassing. However, he had already lost his wife. If he lost his son and daughter, too, he would really be in trouble. He didnt like Nian Junting, but after all, he was his son.


    Atst, Xie added, Most importantly, Jiang Qifei was using you. Shes breaking the rtionship between you and your son. Are you gonna let her do that?


    Of course not. Mentioning Jiang Qifei, Nian Qingyun was so angry. Days ago, he called and asked her if she had read the file, and she said no. She faked it so well that he believed her. However, it turned out that she had been fooling him.


    Call Nian Junting right now. Ask him where he is and tell him toe here. If he refuses, tell him that you know why Xu Luosang broke up with him, Nian Qingyun ordered.


    Yes, sir. Xie turned and called Nian Junting. After ending the call, he said, Young Master said that hell be on his way once I told him that its about Xu Luosang. Hell be here in 40 minutes.


    Nian Qingyun nodded, then subconsciously touched his own face. He remembered how Nian Junting hit him eight years ago. That boys fists were as heavy as hammers. Not long ago, he was punched by Leng Zhe. His injuries had just healed Thinking about that pain, he started feeling ufortable. A whileter, he said to Xie, Go and bring me a helmet.


    Xie was a little speechless.


    Ill also wear a military padded coat. Nian Qingyun stood up. With the coat and the helmet, he wouldnt suffer too much pain even if his son hit him.


    Forty-five minutester, Nian Junting quickly walked over. At first sight, he saw Nian Qingyun pacing in the living room, wearing a helmet and a military padded coat. It was over 20 degrees Celsius. Seeing his father dressed like that, he was astounded. Why are you wearing that? Did you do something awful? Are you afraid that I might kick your ass?


    Standing beside Nian Qingyun, Xie nearly burst out inughter. Nian Junting really knew his father well.


    What are you talking about? I was reorganizing the storeroom just now. I found these and decided to try them on. Surprisingly, they still fit. Nian Qingyun gave him a threatening nce. Finding that Nian Juntings clothes were wet, he paused for a second and asked, Have you been standing in the rain at Xu Luosangs downstairs every day?


    Nian Junting got impatient. Just tell me why she broke up with me.


    Nian Qingyun cleared his throat, then gave Xie a signal with his eyes. Xie immediately started talking. Miss Xu broke up with you because Jiang Qifei threatened her. Jiang Qifei is holding some important evidence that can clear Xu Zhengxuans name. Miss Xu chose to leave you because of her father.


    Jiang Qifei? Nian Junting instantly tightened his body. He stared straight at Xie and asked, What important evidence?


    Zeng Lijuan had something. Xie nced at Nian Junting, then continued, I guess youve found out about that, too.


    Nian Junting nodded. Didnt Yi Jingxi take that thing? How did it fall into Jiang Qifeis hands? Isnt she just an ordinary woman? Has someone else been helping her? Who could be capable enough to find that evidence before me?


    Nian Qingyun snorted and said, Shes with Liao Qiulong, the CEO of Qifeng.

 Chapter 646. You Will Be Punished for Hitting Your Father

    Chapter 646. You Will Be Punished for Hitting Your Father


    Liao Qiulong is quite rich. Nian Junting nodded. But I started the investigation before the new year. Jiang Qifei didnt even know Luosang then. Its not possible that he found the evidence so quickly.


    Because Nian Qingyun closed his eyes and said, Ive been looking into Xu Zhengxuans case before the new year, too. Jiang Qifei was in my office previously, and I think she must have seen the documents.


    Nian Junting was silently ring at him. A wave of fury overcame him. The whole time, his own father was the cause of all this. He was the reason why Luosang broke up with him, and he was the reason behind his agony these past few days. He was the reason why Luosang said so many hurtful things to him. He was the reason why he stood in the rain like a fool. Fury made him throw punches like a madman.


    Nian Qingyun backed away instinctively, and he raised one hand. I didnt expect this to happen. I thought something wasnt right that day when you came to look for me. I asked Xie to look into the matter immediately. Jiang Qifei is too maniptive. Look, Im telling you the truth right after I found out about what happened. After all, youre still my son. I wont let anyone bully you


    How dare you?! Nian Juntings eyes widened in anger. I was still boggled as to how Jiang Qifei managed to obtain the evidence before me. It was you! Why did you look into Xu Zhengxuan? Were you nning to threaten her just like Jiang Qifei did?


    Nonsense. Nian Qingyun said awkwardly, Youre with a random girl. Isnt it normal for a father to find out more about his sons partner? I just found out about her dad coincidentally.


    Yeah, youvee a long way with your investigations. Nian Junting mocked him. You even found out about Zeng Lijuan. Youre even more thorough than me.


    Nian Qingyuns lower lip quivered, but he was at a loss for what to say. He was damned that his son knew him so well. Thats right, I was nning to do that in the beginning, but I didnt. I told Xiao Xue to destroy the documents. You can ask Xie if you dont believe me. Nian Qingyun looked over at Xie.


    I dont need to ask Xie. Nian Juntings expression was grim. You are really looking out for me, arent you? You should have given me the documents when you got them in the first ce. You knew Id be much slower than you. All this wouldnt have happened if you had given them to me.


    Dont be too impudent. You didnt put in a single good word for me when your mother divorced me, Nian Qingyun refuted.


    You deserved it! Nian Junting was shaking all over. I wanted to ask you anyway, if you really cared about my mother, why did you let Jiang Qifei into your office when she came to visit you? What are you doing? Did you take pity on her, or were you nning to rekindle your old love now that you have divorced my mother?


    Dont be ridiculous. It was all because of Leng Shuangweis injury. Do you know how guilty I feel about the fact that she can never be a mother? I wanted to talk to Jiang Qifei about the arranged marriage. Nian Qingyun supported his heavy head. You should me Jiang Qifei for what happened. Leave me alone.


    I wont leave you alone. Why are you allyered up and wearing a helmet? Nian Junting kicked the stool in front of him forcefully. You knew that you were going to get beat up?


    Nian Qingyun pointed at him, shaking his finger. You will be punished by the heavens for hitting your father!

 Chapter 647. Youve Already Caused Harm to Me. How Are You Gonna Make It Up?

    Chapter 647. You''ve Already Caused Harm to Me. How Are You Gonna Make It Up?


    Step by step, Nian Junting approached him with a cold face. Thest time he wanted to punch his father so much was when he had hurt Murong Cheng.


    Young Master Xie hurriedly stood before Nian Qingyun and said, Director had me inform you once he found out the truth. He really does not want you to get hurt.


    Im sorry. You have already caused harm to me. Tell me, how are you gonna make it up to me? Nian Junting turned to avoid Xie. His entire body still radiated anger.


    Make it up? Nian Qingyun paused for a second.


    Yes. Nian Junting pressed his fist and cracked his joints. We can do a little father-and-son battle. Didnt you like that the most when I was little? Or, you can give Luosang that jade pendant that was passed down from our ancestors. Then, I wont battle you.


    Nian Qingyuns face turned dark with anger. Your great-grandmother gave me that jade pendant. Its worth over ten million. You want me to give it to her? Are you out of your mind?


    Nian Junting snorted and said, Its so cheap. How dare you even mention it? If it was not from my great-grandmother, I wouldnt even bother to ask you for it.


    You you Nian Qingyun trembled. He could not make ten million, not even if he worked hard all his life.


    It seems that you dont want to give her the pendant. So were gonna do the battle. Let me see if you havegged behind during these past years. Since youre wearing a helmet and this thick coat, Ill have to attack you in the face, Nian Junting said, pushing Xie away.


    Xie was rather strong, yet Nian Junting had easily pushed him away. Nian Qingyun did not want to fight him. When he was around 20, he was trained well in the special forces. Later on, he retired but still kept working out every single day. Nian Qingyun was over 50 years old now and was going to retire soon. How could he possibly be a match for his son?


    Earlier, he had been beaten by Leng Zhe, and the painsted for a couple of days. Thinking about that, he shrank back a little, so he said, Alright, since you insist on marrying Xu Luosang and refuse to listen to anything Ive said, I have no other choice. As long as she bes my daughter-inw, Ill give her the jade pendant.


    Nian Junting stopped and said to him coldly, Dont forget what you just said.


    Nian Qingyun was so upset. I must have owed you a debt in the previous life, and in this life, you became my son to im it. Tell me, how are you gonna deal with Jiang Qifei? Its reasonable for you to teach her a lesson and give her some punishment, but still, think about Shuangweis feelings. Ive confirmed that Shuangwei does not know about this. Maybe you should talk to her, ask her to tell her mother to stop. Also, she should break up with that married man.


    Have you found out where she hid that evidence? Nian Junting asked with a frown.


    I was only trying to find out what was happening. I couldnt have looked under her bed in the beginning. She hid that evidence long ago. How am I supposed to know where it is? said Nian Qingyun impatiently.


    Stay out of this. I have my own n. Also, dont tell anyone about this, not even Luosang. After saying that, Nian Junting turned and left. By the door, he stopped, turned around, and said, If you can always be like this, I wont feel annoyed every time I see you. After saying that, he left with big strides.


    Nian Qingyun paused for a second, then pointed at the door and cursed, That little b*stard! How dare he say that Im annoying? I didnt even say that to him.


    Director, arent you feeling hot? Xie asked with a smile.


    Hearing that, Nian Qingyun realized that his hair and back were soaked with sweat.

 Chapter 648. Flamboyant? She Said His Acting Was Too Flamboyant?

    Chapter 648. mboyant? She Said His Acting Was Too mboyant?


    Nian Junting drove away from the house. He felt exhrated. She still liked him. She said all those hurtful things just to traumatize him. That stupid woman, that idiot, how could she allow Jiang Qifei to threaten her and leave him like that? Was he not trustworthy enough? Or was he someone that could be readily sacrificed to save Xu Zhengxuan? Didnt he take up 80 percent of her heart?


    The more he thought about it, the more upset he got. He was angry, grieving, and sorry for himself. She had hurt him. She would not be forgiven so easily. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. When he entered the city, he called Yan Su immediately.


    Mr. Nian, do you need anything? Im in a guitar lesson, Yan Su whispered over the phone.


    I need to see you now. Give me your address, Nian Junting said coldly. If you donte out to meet me, I will make it so that your guitar skills wont be of any use.


    Dont tell Luo about this, either, Nian Junting warned her.


    Yan Su had no choice but to tell him where her training center was. The ce was far from where he was, yet he arrived at the building within half an hour. Yan Su was waiting for him by the roadside. When she saw his car pull up, she was a little scared, but she still got into the passenger seat. Before she could sit down, Nian Junting hollered at her, Who said you could sit there? That seat is for my woman. Go sit in the back!


    Fine, you win, Yan Su thought. She shut the door and sat in the back. She wanted to run when she saw how cold Nian Juntings expression was. Even though he was a good catch, she was still impressed at how Luosang could stand all his antics. Mr. Nian, if you want me to convince Luosang to get back together with you, I cant help you there. Its your own rtionship problem. Serves you right for not allowing me to taste a single bite of your bento box, Yan Su thought to herself.


    No, Im here to ask you about some things. Nian Junting turned to look at her. You are best friends with Luo. You should know about Jiang Qifei threatening her.


    Yan Sus eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Mr. Nian, youve already found out?


    I knew it. Nian Junting chuckled and pounded his fist into the steering wheel. How dare you, Jiang Qifei, how dare you interfere with my rtionship? She thinks that she can do whatever she pleases after getting involved with a rich old man.


    Yan Su was shuddering in fear. It was best for her to keep quiet.


    Let me ask you, what else do you know? Nian Junting frowned. How did Jiang Qifei threaten her? Tell me the exact details.


    Yan Su decided to tell him everything, since he had figured it out, anyway. She threatened Luosang and said she had to leave you. She made it clear that she must hurt you deeply. She told Luosang to do things that would make you detest and hate her, things that you would never forgive her for. Then, she would give Luosang the evidence after three months. She wanted you to see her in bed with another man at first, but Luosang rejected her proposal. Herpromise was to use Chi Shengxu to antagonize you. We didnt expect you to continue chasing her so relentlessly. Luosang is in a difficult position now.


    That fool, why didnt she tell me this? Nian Junting gritted his teeth. Does she trust me at all? We could have solved this together!


    She said Yan Su looked at him helplessly. She said she wanted to tell you about it and put on an act in front of Jiang Qifei, but your acting was too mboyant and unbelievable.

 Chapter 649. You Might Give Up on Her, but Not on the Baby

    Chapter 649. You Might Give Up on Her, but Not on the Baby


    Exaggerate? How dare she say that? Why would he exaggerate? Nian Juntings chest heaved, he was so angry. He wasnt trained in acting, but there was nothing in the world that he couldnt do, as long as he seriously wanted to do it. It was nothing but acting. How could it be too hard for him? She not only didnt distrust him but also doubted his ability. I see. She has some big misunderstandings about me. Nian Junting abruptly sneered and said, Its time for me to show her my real abilities.


    Dont Yan Su gave a start. Your exaggerated way of acting is certainly gonna ruin the whole n, she thought.


    What do you mean? Do you think that Im exaggerating, too? Nian Junting questioned her with a grim face.


    No no Yan Su stuttered. Mr. Nian, I think the world owes you an Oscar Award


    Nian Junting snorted and continued, What else did she say? Is she gonna simply hurt me and trample upon my feelings like this? Does she think that my heart is made of iron? Did she think that when she got the evidence and came back to me, Id be moved and ept her again? Isnt she thinking too highly of herself? No matter what reason she has, she has already hurt me.


    Yan Su hurriedly nodded and said, Youre right. So Sangsang said that shed try her best to get pregnant before she broke up with you. And when she got the evidence, shed go back to you with a pregnant belly. You may give up on her, but not on the baby.


    Did she really say that? Nian Juntings eyes glowed.


    Yes. Yan Su prayed silently, Sangsang, please dont me me for telling Mr. Nian the whole truth. He already knew, so if I didnt make it clear, hed bear a grudge.


    Im surprised. Nian Junting raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. She even came up with such a shameless n. Shes trying really hard. Shes such a scheming girl. No wonder I fell into her trap, he thought. Now I see why she was so passionate in bed those few days. It turned out that she was trying to get pregnant.


    Is she pregnant now? he asked.


    Yan Su was speechless. This is only the third day since she broke up with you. How could it be so fast? I dont think so. Earlier, she told me that those few days were her safe period, so its not likely to happen.


    Nian Junting immediately fell into regret. He thought that he was going to be a father. He wanted so much to have a little girl who was as adorable and silly as Luosang. He had no such feelings before he had a girlfriend. Now he had a girlfriend, and he was going to be 30 soon. He was not a boy anymore. Many of his army friends had more than one child now.


    As he fell into silence, Yan Su gathered her courage and said, Mr. Nian, since you know the truth now, maybe you should tell Luosang. Shes been quite miserable these days. Jiang Qifei called her and threatened her again. She wanted to be crueler to you but couldnt bear doing it. Watching you showering in the rain every day downstairs, she couldnt even eat.


    She deserves it, said Nian Junting. Dont tell her about this for now. Since she likes acting, Ill cooperate.


    Please dont, Yan Su thought. Youre really not good at that.


    Dont worry. I wont go and see her again. She can focus on Jiang Qifei now, Nian Junting said. I dont know where she hid that evidence, indeed. Since she likes ying games, Ill y with her. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware the oriole is behind it. In three months, Ill let her know what it means.


    Mr. Nian, what are you gonna do? Yan Su was a little worried.


    I dont trust Sangsangs acting skills, so I can only cooperate with her and pretend not to know anything. Nian Junting gave her a proud nce.

 Chapter 650. She Sold Luosang to Be a Godmother

    Chapter 650. She Sold Luosang to Be a Godmother


    Was it really time to seek personal revenge? Yan Su sympathized with Luosang.


    If you tell her anything, I will put a halt on your career, Nian Junting threatening her.


    Yan Su couldnt help but say, Mr. Nian, do you think you can threaten me with my career whenever you please? Sang is my friend, after all. Between my career and my friend, I will always choose my friend.


    Oh really? Nian Junting chuckled. If you dont listen to me, I will sow discord between the two of you when we marry in the future. I will be her husband and live under the same roof as her, after all. Do you think your friendship will still be intact then? You can decide for yourself.


    Yan Su inhaled sharply. How could there be anyone like him? Absolutely shameless. Tell me then, Mr. Nian. What do you want me to do? Yan Su was afraid of what he could do.


    Nian Junting chuckled. Since she wanted to have my babies, Ill let her have them. I quite like the idea of that. He was the one who wanted to marry and have children in the first ce. Luosang thought she was still too young to be a mother. She was nning to wait for another three to four years before she considered it. Although he thought it was a littlete, he was going to be over 30 years old then. However, he was willing to respect her decision. She was so young, after all.


    Since she wanted to have his children out of guilt, he was happy to let her. The sooner he became a dad, the sooner they could get married as well. That would save him the worry of her running away. He was really taken aback this time. He was worried she would break up with him over something else. Perhaps Xu Zhengxuan might disapprove of him when he was released, or her brother might oppose their marriage, too. Things were unpredictable. It would be best for her to carry his child for now. It was a lesson for her, too, after treating him so cruelly.


    Mr. Nian, I think youre being a little immoral here. Yan Su held back herughter. She hadnt seen thising at all.


    Im not forcing her to have my child. Nian Junting said, She wanted to do so herself. Im just allowing her to do what she wants to. Rx, her career wont be affected. Ill definitely hire a nanny after she delivers.


    Dont you want to be a godmom? Nian Junting prodded her after she was silent for a while. If you cooperate with me, I will let you be the godmother of my child. My child will probably be a national political leader of some sort. Think about it. Its worth it for you.


    Yan Su rolled her eyes. He hadnt even donated his sperm yet, and he was already so sure that his child would be a national leader. Where did his confidencee from? She did love children, though. She had never been a godmother before, but it sounded like a lot of fun. Alright, you promise that youll make me the godmom, right?


    Yup. Get out, Nian Junting gestured towards the car door.


    Yan Su mbered out of the car in a daze. She only thought about what she just promised after the car pulled away. She sold Luosang to be a godmother. She looked at her apartment full of guilt. She was ufortable when she saw Luosang, but she had to pull her act together. Why didnt I see Mr. Nian just now?


    Luosang was bothered, too. Nian Junting had left after 12 oclock that day. She sighed. She felt uneasy and dejected. He probably gave up on her. It had been raining all day, and she hadnt shown him any affection or concern. He couldnt possibly wait for her for the rest of his life.

 Chapter 651. Fall into Mr. Nians Trap

    Chapter 651. Fall into Mr. Nian''s Trap


    Yesterday, he said in front of so many people at school that he would look at her and wait for her, whether she wanted it or not. It had only been two days since she had broken up with him. Wasnt he giving up too easily?


    What are you thinking? Seeing her upset expression, Yan Su asked with concern, Arent you supposed to be happy?


    I should be happy, but I also feel that he gave up on me too easily, Luosang said, disappointed. Am I a little self-contradictory?


    What on earth do you want? Yan Su felt speechless. You might fall into Mr. Nians trap like this. No matter what, this is the best result for now. Just get your dad out of prison first.


    Will I have lost him by the time Dad gets out? Luosang started to have some unpleasant thoughts. Hes a weird person indeed, but hes also rich and capable and handsome. Other people will fall in love with him. There are too many crazy girls these days.


    Thats possible, said Yan Su. The world of rich people is veryplicated. They can have new girlfriends every three months or even three days.


    Hearing that, Luosang was entirely shrouded by the frustrating atmosphere. Yan Su nced at her with pity, then went to the kitchen to make dinner. Luosang didnt eat much.


    The next day, no one gave her flowers on her way to school, and no broadcast interrupted ss. In the cafeteria, the staff gave her regr meals, the same as what all the other students had. There were no well-cooked pork ribs or chicken wings. Luosang had no appetite at all.


    The few girls sitting behind her were whispering to each other. Their voices were loud enough for Luosang to hear clearly.


    That is Xu Luosang, right?


    Yes, yes, thats her.


    Shes pretty indeed, but not so pretty that he has to marry her. Does she really need to act like that? She even turned down a nice man like Mr. Nian.


    Youre right. I heard that she dumped him. Mr. Nian wooed her in public, yet she barely responded. Maybe she thinks that hes in love too deeply with her. But now, he stoppeding to the school. She should have seized that rich and handsome guy, but now, she has ruined it.


    I heard that shes pretty close with Chi Shengxu. She broke up with Mr. Nian because of him.


    I have to say that even though Chi Shengxu is popr, hes not as mature and rich as Mr. Nian, after all. I cant believe that theres a woman in the world who would turn down a perfect man like Mr. Nian.


    The more she listened, the more anxious Luosang felt. No wonder Nian Junting was so narcissistic. He was turned narcissistic by those ignorant girls. She put down her chopsticks and asked Yan Su, who was eating her food, Do you think Jiang Qifei will believe me? I mean, we broke up quite easily.


    Yan Su raised her head, nced at her listless face, and responded, If you stay this way, I think she will believe you.


    What way?


    Like a soulless person. Youre distracted, your eyes are unfocused, and you dont even eat your favorite food. Yan Su picked a piece of potato from her te while speaking.


    Luosang touched her own face, wondering if she really looked that bad.


    Think whatever you want, because youll soon beughed at by the whole school, said Yan Su with no mercy.


    Luosang couldnt swallow even one grain of rice.

 Chapter 652. She Thought Nian Xi Would Try to Make Peace Between Them, But…

    Chapter 652. She Thought Nian Xi Would Try to Make Peace Between Them, But��


    In the next few days, Luosang found that she had really be like a punchline at school. Wherever she went, people pointed fingers at her. What made her feel sadder was that Nian Junting seemed to have disappeared from the world without leaving even a trace.


    Murong Cheng had called her and asked what happened. She felt pretty sorry for the fact that Luosang wasnt going to be her daughter-inw. However, she had been through the same and understood that two people going on and off was a normal thing. Even some married couples had to divorce in the end, not to mention the people in mere rtionships. After all, Luosang was still young.


    Nian Xi went to school to see Luosang in person and asked her, Sangsang, my brother said that you two have broken up. What happened? Didnt you ept his proposal?


    Did he say that? Luosang felt so bitter. Nian Junting seemed to have agreed to break up with her.


    Yeah, he said that no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt make you change your mind, so he gave up, said Nian Xi with discontent. How could he just give up? He should spend at least one year or even half a year to try to win you back.


    Luosang really wanted to nod to agree. She was touched by what he said that day through the broadcast in school, but in the end, he gave up so easily. However, she still said, We are really not perfect matches for each other.


    So why did you sleep together? asked Nian Xi grumpily. My brother has taken advantage of you, but thats not important. Whats important is, did my brother give you a good sum of money? He should make good arrangements for his ex-girlfriend. He should buy you an apartment or a house, and make arrangements for the rest of your life. Its good that you broke up with him. Youll get nothing good from him, anyway.


    Eh-hem Luosang winced awkwardly. She thought that Nian Xi would try to make peace between them, but to her surpriseWe were in a normal rtionship. It was a normal thing for us to sleep with each other. Its also normal for us to break up, because were not good matches for each other. No one suffered losses. If what you said just now was the rule, no guy would have the courage to start a rtionship. Luosangughed.


    Youre right. Nian Xi sighed, feeling very upset. I wanted you to be my sister-inw. But I know that my brother isnt a good guy, so I cant force you. Im really worried that my brother might be obsessed with someplicated woman someday, and that she might cast her greedy eyes on my money and property like those women in TV series.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. Her future sister-inw did have lots of money and property. How awful do you think your brother is? she wondered.


    Dont worry, Ill find you a good man. Nian Xi patted her on the shoulder.


    Luosang couldnt help but ask, Didnt your brother tell you why we broke up?


    Nian Xi paused for a second, then soon figured it out. You didnt fall in love with another guy, did you?


    Luosang stayed silent. Police officers do think faster than others, she thought.


    Nian Xi looked at her, staying silent as well.


    As Luosang was expecting her me, Nian Xi opened her mouth, sighed, and said, Thats reasonable. After spending time with someone like my brother, you really will find that there are so many good men out there.


    Luosang honestly didnt know how to respond.


    Rx, Im not an unreasonable person. I grew up with him and sometimes, I even wanted to kill him with a broom, said Nian Xi. Even dog poop is less annoying than he is.


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched. In fact hes not that bad.


    I dont know, but my mother doesnt like him, either. She always says that she might have done something awful in her previous life, so she had him as a punishment in this life. Nian Xi smiled bitterly. I can only say that he has a good heart, but he didnt treat me, his sister, as a precious princess and didnt treat my mom like a queen. Shouldnt guys do that?

 Chapter 653. You Have a Baby?

    Chapter 653. You Have a Baby?


    Luosang was stunned. Mother and daughter had high expectations.


    Nian Xi exined, Look, Im his only sister. If I marry the wrong guy, I have to rely on my brother to dote on me. My mother, too, after divorcing my dad, has to rely on her son to dote on her, but my brother is like a block of ice, no fun at all.


    Luosang couldnt help but ask, How are things between you and Ji Chuan?


    Nian Xis expression froze. We broke up a long time ago. He went back to the military. My dad told me that he will be transferred back in the summer this year, but Ive given up hope. He hasnt contacted me after so long. He would have called if he really cared. Sometimes rtionships are really worthless. Sometimes its all talk and no action You get it. Dont trust what men say. You have to assess their actions.


    Luosang sighed. She understood that although Nian Xi said that she had gotten over him, she still needed more time to heal and recover. Dont think too much about it. Youll find the one for you, Luosangforted her.


    Yeah, well both find our one. Nian Xi smiled. Although you broke up with my brother, it wont affect our friendship, right?


    Right. Luosang smiled and nodded.


    It was a good arrangement. She originally thought that Nian Xi would dislike her after this. She always found Nian Xi likable, and she didnt want to lose her as a friend.


    At the Shengting Corporation.


    Xiao Si was displeased with the fact that he had an overwhelming load of work to get done in the office. Previously, Nian Junting had been camping at Luosangs and not turning up to work at all. More recently, he was still passing on his responsibilities to Xiao Si, even though he had been showing up to work.


    Xiao Si had a headache after reading all the documents piled up on his desk. He stood up and took the elevator up to the CEOs office. Without knocking the door, he barged into Nian Juntings office.


    Nian Junting was idly reading a book on his cushy window couch when he walked in. He looked rxed with his legs crossed. Nian Junting said grumpily when he barged in unannounced, What are you doing up here? You should be doing work downstairs.


    How dare you?! The Economics Forum is about to happen, and you have deserted all your responsibilities and left me to handle all of the work. Im not the one who graduated with an economics degree. Xiao Si pulled on his hair. Ive lost so much hair the past couple of days, Im going to be bald at this rate.


    If you dont know economics, you can ask your subordinates, Nian Junting replied as he continued reading his book.


    Yeah, I should go on stage and read someone elses script, too, shouldnt I? It will make us look bad if word gets out. Anyway, Im not going to represent ourpany at the forum. You go, instead, Xiao Si said angrily as he snatched the book out of his hands. When he saw the title of the book, he was shocked. Baby Manual? You have a baby?


    Soon. Nian Junting snatched the book back and grinned at him.


    Xiao Si felt his forehead for any temperature. Are you ill? You just broke up with Luosang. Where is your baby going toe from?


    Cant I still have a baby? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows.


    Luosang is already pregnant?


    Stay out of this. Just know that Im about to be a dad soon. Dont tell anyone that, of course. Nian Junting looked up at him. Its probably going to happen within this year. Get your red packet ready.


    Xiao Si was still in shock. The world was changing too quickly in front of him. He couldnt keep up.


    Alright, you dont have to work on the forum anymore. I will go myself, Nian Junting said casually.


    You dont need a script?


    Nian Junting looked at him with disdain. Ive done the speech every single year, and Ive never needed a script. People believe anything sessful people tell them. I could say anything, and they would be impressed with me.

 Chapter 654. Will We Be on the Same Plane with Him?

    Chapter 654. Will We Be on the Same ne with Him?


    Okay, you won. Ill tell someone to book you the tickets. Itll take ce in Beijing this time, and you need to be there for three days, Xiao Si said. There are lots of young and talented people in the finance world now. Ourpany needs new blood. We need brave and creative people. Just look around.


    Alright. Nian Junting nodded, then lowered his head and continued reading.


    Seeing his serious face, Xiao Si sighed, then walked to the door. When passing by Lu Kangs desk, he couldnt help but ask, Has your boss been acting like this the whole time? Maybe you should take him to see a shrink. Is he out of his mind?


    I dont think so, Lu Kang felt speechless, too. His boss, who had been down for a few days, suddenly brought a thick stack of books about pregnancy and babysitting to thepany and spent all his spare time reading them. Lu Kang was extremely surprised when seeing those books, but he didnt dare ask any questions.


    I dont know what hes thinking. Xiao Si shook his head.


    At the end of April, Luosang got a call from Fanyu Game saying that after a series of discussions, thepany had decided to have her dub for four of the games characters, including the lead female role. Thepany asked her to fly to Beijing to start working in three days.


    Luosang wanted to share the great news with Nian Junting the moment she heard it. However, when she found his phone number on her phone, she realized that they had already broken up. She had no right to share her joy and sadness with him anymore.


    She put down her phone silently. When Yan Su came back, she told her the news. Would you like to go with me? Shi Xiang is the games spokesman. Ive asked some people from Fanyu, and they said that hes gonna dub for the lead male role, so well definitely see each other.


    Hearing that, Yan Su paused slightly, then showed a delightfully surprised look on her face. But soon, that look faded, and she said, Never mind, Im not going.


    Just go. Luosang tried to persuade her with a soft voice. Youre not still mad at him because he didnt help mest time, are you?


    Yan Su curved her lips downwards. That was one of the reasons. He didnt invite me. Why would I go there without an invitation?


    To surprise him, said Luosang. Seriously. Its not a good thing for you to be away from each other all year round. You need to remind him of your existence. If he really loves you, hell be thrilled to see you.


    Alright Yan Su thought for a moment, then nodded atst. She and Shi Xiang were in different situations. It was hard for them to see each other, so she guessed that he wouldnt mind. I heard that Mr. Nian is also going to Beijing. Hes going to attend the financial summit forum. What a coincidence.


    Luosang was a little stunned. Really? How do you know?


    Havent you been paying attention to the financial news? The economics forum that is going to take ce has attracted much attention from the industry leaders. Mr. Nian is also invited. I think hes going on stage to give a speech. I heard it from my ssmates. Yan Su smilingly pushed Luosangs shoulders. Will we be on the same ne with him?


    Luosang got a little excited. She hadnt seen him in half a month. She had never been parted from him for such a long time. She missed him so much that she felt ufortable every single day. She looked at those old photos they had taken together, but that only made her more upset.


    She missed him every single day. She wondered if he missed her, too. She turned, picked up a grape, and said while peeling it, There wont be such a coincidence.


    I doubt that. It might really happen if you want it to. Yan Su smiled. Youre not going to talk to him. You can just look at him from a distance.


    But I dont know which flight hell take. Lousang sighed.


    Its easy. Yan Su took out her phone. Forpany owners like him, they always take day flights. There are only a few suitable flights between Xie City and Beijing.

 Chapter 655. He Was Like a Body of Light, Catching the Attention of Everyone in His Presence

    Chapter 655. He Was Like a Body of Light, Catching the Attention of Everyone in His Presence


    Hes going to the forum tonight. Ive got it! Hes probably taking the two-thirty flight there, even though there are earlier flights at nine and ten oclock, Yan Su analyzed.


    Luosang agreed with her. He was most likely on that flight. She couldnt be sure, though. It depended on fate and luck as well. Well, he must be sitting in the first-ss cabin. Its so expensive Luosang was in a dilemma. The tickets will cost three thousand dors without any discounts.


    Yan Su rolled her eyes. Didnt thepany at Ye Chuens partypensate you three million dors


    I am saving that money for my fatherswsuit. I dont know how long the case will drag on, so I cant spend that money. Luosang shook her head.


    Alright, Ill buy it for you, since youre bringing me to see Shi Xiang. Yan Su was already ordering the tickets on her phone.


    Su, you are the best! Dont worry, I wont forget about you when I marry and have kids with Nian Junting. Luosang hugged her friend tightly.


    Yan Su was speechless. You just hurt him so cruelly, and youre already talking about marrying him and having his children? Where did your confidencee from?


    Luosang looked at her awkwardly. Dont tease me. I can still hope for my future.


    Forget it, Ill let it go. Im going to order the tickets. Yan Su burst outughing.


    Afterward, Yan Su texted Nian Junting discreetly while Luosang wasnt noticing.


    After three days, the two of them hurried back to the apartment to pack after having lunch in the school cafeteria. When they left the house, Luosang was wearing a denim jacket. However, she had second thoughts when she got to the door and went back in to change into a pair of jeans.


    Yan Su was anxiously looking at her watch. Wont you hurry up? Youre not a celebrity. You dont have to bother with airport fashion.


    Luosang blushed. We might bump into Nian Junting on the ne. He hasnt seen me in a while. I dont want him to think that Ive be uglier.


    I think you want him to be swept off his feet, Yan Su blurted out. Ive never seen this pair of jeans before. Did you buy them yesterday?


    Not only had she bought that pair of jeans, but she also bought a couple of other outfits.


    Arent you worried that Mr. Nian might think youre trying to seduce him when he sees how pretty you look? He mighte chasing after you again. Why would Jiang Qifei give you the evidence then? Yan Su added.


    Alright, should I change back? Luosang was flustered.


    Forget it, were running out of time. If we dont leave now, dont even talk about meeting him if we cant catch our flight. Yan Su was pulling her along and handed her a pair of shoes.


    They left the apartmentter than expected, and there was heavy traffic on their way to the airport. When they finally arrived, it was already thest boarding call. The two of them hurried to the boarding gate and entered the VIP lounge. All first-ss passengers enjoyed this privilege, and there were five or six people sitting in the lounge when they entered.


    The most eye-catching man among them was Nian Junting. He was wearing a gray vest and a matching suit, a blue shirt underneath, and a navy blue checkered tie. He was sitting on a chair in a rxed manner, and he looked regal andposed. His lean body and long legs were obvious and entuated.


    Luosang did a double take. She hadnt seen him in such a nice outfit in a while. He was like a body of light, catching the attention of everyone in his presence. He looked foreign to her, too. Thest time she had seen him was when he stood beneath her apartment, drenched like a sad puppy. Now, he was chatting with a woman with a cold expression.

 Chapter 656. Stop Peeping at Him Obsessively

    Chapter 656. Stop Peeping at Him Obsessively


    The woman sitting next to him was An Lan. She was wearing a id shirt matched with a high-waisted pair of white trousers and a pair of heels. She had a perfect body shape and a charming presence. Sitting together, she and Nian Junting somehow looked like the perfect couple. They were talking with low voices. Neither of them noticed Luosang.


    Watching them, Luosang had such a sour feeling in her heart. She felt as if she were chewing a super sour berry, which made her very ufortable. She knew An Lan as the legal adviser of Nian Juntingspany. Did he need to bring awyer to attend a high-end forum?


    Yan Su nced at her, then took the initiative to greet Nian Junting. Mr. Nian, what a small world. Are you going on a business trip, too?


    Hearing her, Nian Junting raised his head, nced coldly at her and Luosang, then turned back to keep talking to An Lan. Lu Kang, who sat beside him, said, Su, your friend has already broken up with Mr. Nian, so you two are strangers to him now. Please do not disturb him.Please visit on our


    Yan Su was a little speechless. Hes pretty good at acting, she thought.


    Luosang spent two seconds staring at Nian Junting, then turned, walked to thest row of the VIP departure room, and found herself a seat. Yan Su hurriedly followed behind her and asked, Are you okay?


    Sure. I saw thising the day we broke up. Luosang took out her phone, then lowered her head to y a game. However, Yan Su found that shepletely messed up the game.


    The departure room was quiet. Only Nian Junting and An Lans conversation, which included all sorts of terminology, could be heard. asionally, An Lan would burst out inughter.


    Luosang could see nothing but An Lan smiling sweetly at Nian Junting. She felt extremely ufortable. An Lan herself had admitted that she was fond of Nian Junting. Was she trying to grasp the chance and approach him now? She promised Luosang she would help her with her fathers case but did not promise that she wouldnt go after Nian Junting. There were many immoral people nowadays.


    While ying the game, Luosang couldnt help but recall thest time she and Nian Junting were at an airport together. Back then, they couldnt leave each others side. When she yed the game, he would sit by her side and criticize her poor skills and slow reactions. At that time, she felt annoyed by him, but now, anything was precious to her.


    Yan Su pushed her and whispered, Stop peeping at him obsessively. Youre making a fool of yourself.


    Im not, Luosang argued awkwardly. Yan Su snorted.


    After sitting there and waiting for about ten minutes, the airport staff reminded the first ss passengers to board early. There werent many first ss passengers, so when boarding, Luosang tried her best to fall behind. Her seat was located in the first row, and coincidentally, Nian Junting and An Lan sat behind her.


    Once the ne had taken off, she heard An Lan say to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, we dont have many chances to go to Beijing. Lets visit Yonghe Lama Temple to pray. I heard that the wishes made there alwayse true.


    I dont believe in those kinds of things, said Nian Junting ndly.


    But I want to pray for a good rtionship. Dont you want the same thing? said An Lan with a very gentle voice.


    Alright.


    An Lan smiled sweetly and said, Good, Ill wake you up tomorrow morning, and well go after breakfast.


    Mm.


    As the ne started flying stably, Luosang couldnt bear listening to their conversation, so she stood up and headed to the bathroom. Whening out, she saw An Lan walking over.


    Luosang, what a coincidence. An Lan greeted her, smiling. How are things going with Jiang Qifei?


    She said three months from now. Lusoang forced herself to smile.


    Good. I hope she wont break her promise. An Lan opened the bathroom door.


    Luosang turned back and said, Miss An, you and Junting

 Chapter 657. Luosang Felt Like Her Heart Had Been Smashed into Pieces

    Chapter 657. Luosang Felt Like Her Heart Had Been Smashed into Pieces


    An Lan smiled as she reminded her, You guys already broke up. You shouldnt call him Junting anymore.


    Luosang frowned. An Lan was still taking on her fathers case after this, so she shouldnt offend her. Lawyer An, Ive told you why I was breaking up with him


    No matter the reason, you have already broken up, An Lan interrupted her. You know that I like him. This is the lowest moment in his life. Its my chance to gain his affection. Dont worry, I will still take on your case like a professional.


    Luosang had nothing to say. Will you adhere to my request to tell him the truth after some time? Will you still cooperate with me?


    I will tell him, but I dont know about forgiveness. Its up to him whether he chooses to forgive you or not, but Ill be trying my hardest during this time, anyway. An Lan tossed her silky hair and walked towards the washroom.


    Luosang felt anger boil within her. When she walked back to her seat, she realized that Nian Junting was already sound asleep. With his eyes shut, his skin was radiant, and his nose was sharp. He looked extremely handsome. She could stare at him all day long.


    But


    She forced herself to look away.


    Yan Su whispered to her, Did you notice that the flight attendants have been walking around where Mr. Nian is sitting quite frequently?


    Luosang had noticed it, of course. There were only two flight attendants in the first-ss cabin. They were walking around a lot. He was charming everywhere he went. When their meal was served, Nian Junting got double the portion of fruit. He couldnt finish it all of it and gave the rest to An Lan.


    Luosang was frustrated. In the past, she would be the one finishing his extra food. The two-hour flight was torture for her. They all bumped into each other again at baggage im.


    Nian Junting bent over to help An Lan with her luggage. Since Luosang was staying in Beijing for over a week, she had arge suitcase with her. She collected her luggage by herself and hurled Yan Sus luggage with her other hand.


    An Lan was carrying a small handbag when she said, surprised, You are so strong, Luosang!


    Before Luosang could reply, Nian Junting said, She is quite strong. She practically doesnt need a man in her life.


    Lets go. Nian Junting didnt even look her way as he walked away gracefully with his hand in his pocket. Lu Kang was carrying An Lans small suitcase.


    Goodbye. An Lan waved as she quickly caught up with Nian Junting.


    Luosang felt like her heart had been smashed into pieces.


    Its alright, I need you in my life, Yan Suforted her.


    Luosang didnt reply. She didnt want to be needed by another woman.


    When they walked to the entrance of the airport, they bumped into Nian Junting yet again. A long Rolls Royce was parked in front of them, and the chauffeur was loading up the luggage. The party of three took their seats in the car, and the car pulled away. It was quite a sight to behold.


    Yan Su remarked, Damn, they have a luxury car to pick them up. Sang, where is our driver?


    Luosang said grumpily, Im not a superstar. There isnt a pick-up car. Lets go take the metro.


    After ten minutes, they were squeezed together on the metro, and Luosang was despondent.

 Chapter 658. She Slept with That Man

    Chapter 658. She Slept with That Man


    Yan Su keptforting her. Its alright. Its nothing but taking the metro. We always took the metro before. Im not famous now. When I be a star, Ill give you a private car and a full-time driver wherever you go.


    Thank you. Luosang held her arm. She was the only one who was able tofort her right now.


    But, will An Lan really steal Mr. Nian away? Yan Su said with concern.


    Luosang was already worrying about that. Hearing what Yan Su said, she felt even more uneasy. But still, she said, Weve only been broken up for a few days. If he fell in love with someone else so easily, I I think I can give up on him, too, because it means he didnt love me enough.


    Youre right, though. Yan Su nodded.


    Luosang opened her mouth. What do you mean by, Youre right? Cant you say something to make me feel better? she thought. Youre making me feel worse.Please visit our


    Fanyu had booked a hotel room for them. They spent one and a half hours traveling from the airport to the hotel via subway. When arriving at the hotel, both of them were starved. They didnt want to go out to eat, so they ordered food online.


    After filling their stomachs, they rested until eight oclock. Then, Yan Su dragged Luosang out of the hotel to search for delicious food. Luosang was in low spirits. From time to time, she looked around. Yan Su could tell what she was thinking. Bejing is a huge city. You cant run into him just that easily. Also, the economics forum is taking ce tonight.


    Luosang felt depressed. Yan Su was right. The forum that he was attending made her feel that there was arge distance between him and her now. That night, after a shower, Luosangid on her bed, searching for news about the economics forum on her phone.


    Thework was very advanced now. The forum had just ended, but relevant pictures could already be found online, especially the full video of Nian Juntings speech. He stood straight on that stage without even a draft. His ent was so perfect, and his speech was so smooth, without repeated content and words.


    The mediapared him to an illuminant, describing him as the youngest financier and investor in the industry, and as a brave, wise, and far-sighted man. Luosang knew nothing about finance, but she, too, found every single word he said so convincing.


    His speechsted for 15 minutes. She watched it all. Atst, he stood in a line with a group of financiers to take a picture, and still, he looked so outstanding. Many people say that men shimmered with charm when they were working. Nian Junting was not an exception. At that moment, Luosang almost forgot that he was a freak in private. On the contrary, she was a little proud, because she had slept with that charming man. That was really worth living.


    The next morning, Yan Su rested at the hotel while Luosang got up very early. She needed to go to Fanyu for a meeting. Does Shi Xiang know that youre here?


    I didnt tell him. Yan Su shook her head.


    I guess Ill see him at the meeting today. Ill see if I can find a chance to talk to him. Luosang got dressed, said goodbye to Yan Su, and then left. Fanyu Game was only about a ten-minute walk from the hotel. When she arrived, the other voice actors and actresses had arrived as well.


    Around the long conference table, a young woman in a white coat was sitting near the door. She had a pointed face. Luosang failed to recognize her. As she sat down next to her, that woman turned and said, Xu Luosang, Im surprised that you bounced back. I really have underestimated you.


    Luosang paused shortly, then finally recognized her. Zhou Wanke? Why are you here?


    Im dubbing for one of the supporting female roles. Zhou Wanke looked at her in an unfriendly way. The lead female role was mine. Its all Ji Nuanyis fault. She rmended you and let you get the job.

 Chapter 659. Was Yan Su Able to Take Control of This Man with Her Gentle Spirit?

    Chapter 659. Was Yan Su Able to Take Control of This Man with Her Gentle Spirit?


    Luosang smiled slightly. It only proves that youre not as likable as me, or perhaps, youre really not as good as me. Youve been voice acting for Ji Nuanyi for two years already, but she switched to me immediately when we met again. Shouldnt you reflect on yourself?


    Zhou Wanke had been herpetitor three years ago. Luosang was always in the lead, although Zhou Wan felt indignant. Zhong Yi was still close to her back then. After Luosang left the industry, Zhou Wanke took her position in the spotlight. When she bumped into Ji Nuanyi in Shanghai, she stole her resources yet again. Zhou Wanke probably hated her guts for that. Luosang had a headache when she thought about working together with her this time.


    I should reflect? Zhou Wanke thought it was ludicrous. You relied on your dad in the past, now you rely on your man. You are the reason why Zhong Yi ended up in this state, arent you?


    Luosang raised her voice to her. I nearly forgot, you were good friends with Zhong Yi.


    Everyone else in the conference room was looking at them now. Mr. Qian, Fanyus project director, said, Miss Zhou, are you good friends with Zhong Yi? She is a lunatic. You know that, right?


    No, Im not familiar with her, Zhou Wanke said awkwardly. We used to work together and met a couple of times. I cantpare to Luosangs rtionship with her.


    Yeah, she stole my fianc. I am quite familiar with her, Luosang said sarcastically.


    Everyone knew that the two had a feud because of Ji Nuanyi. The second male lead, Tang Cheng, quickly changed the topic. Why isnt Shi Xiang here yet? Mr. Qian, are you really going to let Shi Xiang dub for the main actor? He isnt even an actor, after all


    Although Im not an actor, I will do my best for this role. Azy, sexy voice was heard from outside the door.


    Luosang turned to see a tall, lean man walk into the room. His petite face was framed with ash-brown hair. He had thick brows and a sexy pair of lips. He had the bad boy look down. His entrance shushed all the men in the conference room.


    Luosang had seen him before online and on television. She thought his dreamy looks were only an effect of the camera filters. Looking at him as he stood before her, she realized that he didnt need any filters of any sort. He was born to be in the spotlight.


    No wonder Yan Su was so in love with him. He did look the part. He had a wild charm that was irresistible to women, a wildness that was hard to tame. Was Yan Su able to take control of this man with her gentle spirit? Luosang had serious doubts.


    You are here, Shi Xiang! Manager Qian quickly stood up to shake his hand. They dont know anything. Dont take it to heart. Your fans are thrilled to have you dub this project.


    Dont say that, Manager Qian. Shi Xiang smiled at him. They are the professionals when ites to voice acting, but I can learn. I hope to learn from all of you, seniors.


    Its our honor to work with Shi Xiang. Zhou Wanke quickly stood up. She looked like she was in love, too. I love listening to your songs, Shi Xiang. Ive been a huge fan for the longest time. Could I get an autograph?


    Of course! Shi Xiang smiled and looked around the room. He rested his gaze on the seat next to Luosang. He walked over, and his assistant quickly pulled the seat for him. He sat down and grinned at Luosang. You must be dubbing for the main actress. Hello.


    Hi. Luosang nodded. She wondered if he knew that she was good friends with Yan Su.

 Chapter 660. Your Shi Xiang Is So Incredibly Handsome and Charming

    Chapter 660. Your Shi Xiang Is So Incredibly Handsome and Charming


    Manager Qian smiled and said, Luosang is going to dub for quite a few characters in the game, so Im afraid the time that you two are going to work together will be the longest.


    Miss Xu, youre so young, but so surprisingly capable, Shi Xiangplimented her with a smile.


    Luosang had to admit that he was charming enough to soften any girls heart when he was smiling. Thankfully, she was immune to handsome guys, as she had spent a lot of time together with Nian Junting. However, the other girls in the conference room had already been captivated by him.


    The meeting was mainly about the roles in the game. Dubbing for games was actually moreplicated than dubbing for a TV series. If Fanyu had not been a superrge gamepany in the country, if every single one of their games was not super popr, and if they didnt have such great offers, there wouldnt be so many voice actors and actressespeting over their games.


    At about 11 oclock, Shi Xiangs assistant raised an arm, interrupted the meeting, and said, Im sorry. Shi Xiang has to attend an event at 12, so we have to go now.


    No problem. Manager Qian hurriedly stood up and said, Pleasee back at three this afternoon.


    Im sorry. Shi Xiang stood up, buttoned his coat with an apologetic look, then turned to Luosang and said, Miss, can I add you on WeChat, so I can ask you some questions about the work?


    Sure. He and Luosang added each other on WeChat. After Shi Xiang left, Luosang sat up straight. As she slightly turned her body, she saw jealousy in the eyes of many voice-actresses in the room.


    The dubbing worksted until 12 oclock. After that, some people went to have lunch in thepany. Luosang prepared to head back to the hotel to meet Yan Su. As she stood up, Zhou Wanke, who was sitting beside her, stood up as well and blocked her way with a jealous face.


    If youre jealous of me because Shi Xiang has added me on WeChat, I think youre really boring. Excuse me, Luosang said coldly.


    How could Zhou Wanke not be jealous of her? If she had the female leading role, Shi Xiang would have added her on WeChat. Shi Xiang was popr all over Asia. She would evenugh in her dreams if she had the chance to work with him. He was also Prince Charming in many girls eyes. He was so impably handsome. Through working together, they might even grow some special feelings for each other.


    Xu Luosang, youre just luckier than me. One day, Ill let people know that I, Zhou Wanke, am as good a voice-actress as you are. After saying that, she sneered and left.


    Luosang rubbed her forehead. Thankfully, she didnt need to work with Zhou Wanke, or she would never have any peace. On her way back to the hotel, Luosang got a message from Shi XiangHi, Miss Xu. This is my WeChat ount for work.


    Luosang immediately understood his meaning. Many artists had two WeChat ounts, one for work, one for private life. Their managers and assistants would read most of the messages on their working WeChat ount. It seemed that Shi Xiang was implying that she not say anything that she shouldnt say via WeChat.


    Back in the hotel, Yan Su ran to her with excitement, saying, Hows it going? Have you seen Shi Xiang?


    I have, I have. Your Shi Xiang is so incredibly handsome and charming. Smiling, Luosang showed her his WeChat. Ive added him on WeChat.


    Yan Su took her phone, nced at it, and said, So this is his work WeChat. After saying that, she opened his WeChat Moments and started browsing. Luosang sighed. She had seen his WeChat Moments on her way back. Almost all his posts were about the events that he attended. It was rather boring, but Yan Su seemed to be quite interested in it. It was really easy for someone to be too careful when he or she was in love with another person.


    After lunch, the two of them headed to Fanyu together. Luosang started working at two. Yan Su had no ess to thepany, so she waited outside in the lounge.

 Chapter 661. The Journey Was Getting Longer and Longer for Her

    Chapter 661. The Journey Was Getting Longer and Longer for Her


    After recording a segment, Luosang hit pause. She took a break and drank some water. It was already 3:20pm. She was surprised. She quickly walked over to the assistant director and asked, Where is Shi Xiang? Is he here yet?


    Not yet. The assistant was ying with his phone and answered her without looking up. Just do your job. Dont count on the superstars to arrive on time. Itll be good enough if they actually finish their part.


    Im going to the bathroom. Luosang walked towards the lounge. Yan Su was still sitting there looking around anxiously. She had already drunk several cups of tea.


    Yan Su looked at her. Youre finished?


    How could I be? Luosang felt bad for her. Shi Xiang said he woulde over at three, but


    Its normal. Yan Suughed. I was doing a program with a superstar previously, and he only arrived after being two hourste. The whole crew was waiting for him. Not all of them do it on purpose, though. Some of them really get caught up in matters. They do have a lot of events to attend.


    As long as youre fine with it. Luosang sighed.


    I am. Ive waited all these years, a few more hours dont matter to me. Yan Su sounded disappointed and down.


    Luosang was at a loss for what to say. She could wait for someone for years, but the worst part would be waiting for someone who wouldnt walk with you for the rest of your life.


    After Luosang returned to the studio, Yan Su waited until four oclock before a group of people emerged from the elevator. Shi Xiang was walking at the front. He was wearing a gray t-shirt and a white jacket with jeans. He looked clean and refreshed.


    They hadnt seen each other in so long. She couldnt even remember how long exactly at that moment. She remembered that his hair was different thest time she saw him. In the past year, he had changed his hairstyle many times. He looked even more fashionable and edgy now. The media had described him as a star who could just rely on his good looks, but who had proven himself talented and hardworking as well.


    Yan Su walked out quickly. She didnt dare to walk too close to him. She knew that she wasnt part of thepany. If she walked too close to him, she would be whisked away by his bodyguards, maybe even thrown out of the building. She didnt want to get Luosang into trouble, too.


    She stood a few feet away from him as she watched him quietly. Her eyes were getting wet, but she didnt want to make a scene. Shi Xiang caught sight of her as he looked around the room. He looked away casually and paused to bend down to roll up his pants. He paused for half a minute before walking into the studio with a pursed lip.


    Yan Su was stunned as she watched the door close shut. Instead of relieving her longing for him every time she saw him, she felt like she was drifting further from him. When could she ever walk up to him and hold his hand in public?


    The journey was getting longer and longer for her.


    At around ten oclock at night, Luosang finished up her work and prepared to leave. Suddenly, the assistant director stopped her. Luosang, could you give Shi Xiang a hand if youre done? He hasnt got a good feel for voice acting yet.


    Luosang looked over and nodded. She texted Yan Su and walked towards Shi Xiangs studio. There wasnt anyone else in the room, and it was very quiet. Air conditioning wasnt allowed, and beads of sweat were dripping from Shi Xiangs forehead.


    You dont have to do it yourself, Luosang said. Its no easy feat.


    Yeah, I thought it would be as easy as singing a song. I was too nave. Shi Xiang grimaced. But Su can only see me if I insist on voice acting myself.

 Chapter 662. The Invisible Troop (part One)

    Chapter 662. The Invisible Troop (part One)


    Luosang paused briefly. She didnt expect him to have such a n.


    I guess Sus waiting does mean something. Luosang smiled with relief.


    She has suffered too much bitterness because of me. She left her hometown and went to Xia City to fight for the future. An obvious gentleness could be seen in his eyes when he was talking. She mentioned you every time she called me. If it wasnt for you, she might not have been able to sign a contract with the musicpany. Thank you.


    Its alright. As long as you wont disappoint her. Luosang thought for a moment, then said, Can you see her tonight? Shes been waiting for you out there the whole time.


    Later, three or four in the morning. Ill sneak out when my assistant falls asleep. Shi Xiang thought briefly, then said, You see, that one out there is my assistant. Thepany made her work for me. A part of her job is to take care of me, and another part is to keep an eye on me. The Chinese artists who started their careers in Korea have been very strictly watched the whole time.


    Good, I think Yan Su will be happy to know all that. Yan Su hurriedly nodded.


    Lets start dubbing. My assistant will get suspicious if we talk too long. Shi Xiang moved his chair closer to the microphone.


    Luosang started to teach him dubbing line by line. Dubbing for games was easier than dubbing for TV series, but Shi Xiang was too poor at voice acting. Luosang worked overtime until one oclock in the morning. She was so tired that she couldnt keep her eyes open on her way back.


    Thank you, thank you for working sote with Shi Xiang. Yan Su fawningly offered her a massage.


    I didnt do it for him. I did it for you. Luosang pushed away her hands and said, Stop it. Youve waited for over ten hours. You must be tired, too. Just rest a little. Later, you need to go out to see him.


    Im going, then. Are you gonna be okay staying here alone? Yan Su was a little worried.


    What could possibly happen? Im exhausted. Ill go straight to bed and sleep. Luosang yawned.


    Despite what she just said, she didnt really go straight to sleep. She took a shower, thenid on the bed and checked WeChat moments before going to sleep. She found a new post of CEO Nian. He had changed his WeChat name from Big N back to CEO Nian.


    He posted a picture of Yonghe Lama Temple. Coincidentally, An Lan posted a few selfies that she took in Yonghe Lama Temple. Nian Juntings back could be seen in one of them. Seeing that picture, Luosang couldnt sleep. She was overwhelmed by all sorts of feelings.


    She understood that Nian Junting couldnt possibly fall in love with another woman so quickly, but she did not want to see him hanging out with another woman. She really wanted to call him and scold him right now. However, she had broken up with him, and she had said cruel words to him. If she called him now, he might think of her as an unreasonable woman. She felt so annoyed that she couldnt sleep.


    Yan Su left at three oclock. Luosang fell into a shallow sleep at around four. When she was half-sleep, she heard the doorbell. She thought that Yan Su hade back, so she struggled up to open the door. Opening the door, she saw Nian Junting standing by the door, wearing a pair of white casual pants and a ck sweater. The sweater was slightly loose-fitting but still couldnt hide the shape of his chest muscles.


    He looked down at her, eyes glowing dimly. Luosang was stunned. She thought she was in a dream. Just now, she had seen him in her dreams over and over again. At first, she saw him with Leng Shuangwei, and then, she saw him with An Lan on their honeymoon.


    Nian Junting started talking. He sounded very unhappy. So you dress like this when you see people? He observed the woman in front of him, who was much shorter than he was. She was wearing sky-blue cotton pajamas with the first two buttons undone, exposing the tops of her snow-white breasts.

 Chapter 663. Her Heart Was Racing

    Chapter 663. Her Heart Was Racing


    She was brazenly trying to seduce him. No man would be able to resist this temptation. Although her hair was a mess, it didnt dull her natural beauty or sexiness.


    Luosang was stunned. She looked down at herself and quickly buttoned her pajamas as her ears turned red. She covered herself with her arms in embarrassment. Afterward, she realized that she might still have eye goop in the corners of her eyes. How embarrassing!


    I I thought it was Yan Su. What are you doing here? How did you know that I was staying here? Her heart was beating fast, and she looked like a doe in the headlights. She should have acted coldly towards him, but she couldnt bear to do that after watching him interact with An Lan the day before.


    They werent in Xia City now, anyway. Jiang Qifei couldnt watch them around the clock. It shouldnt be a problem if I let my guard down just this once, sheforted herself.


    Nian Junting stepped forward into the apartment without saying a word, and she backed away instinctively. His handsome face looked serious, and they walked into the bedroom. He swiftly shut the bedroom door behind him. When the door shut, Luosang jumped a little. She suddenly realized that they were alone together again, in a bedroom.


    What are you doing? Luosangs heartbeat quickened. She was a little nervous, but she wasnt upset. She had been worried the night before that he would change his mind about her, perhaps find An Lan a better partner than she was. She didnt expect him toe to look for her tonight. Her heart was racing.


    No matter how much two people loved each other, no one could truly live without another. She was no exception. She hesitated. Should she just tell him the truth? They could get back together after two more months. Luosang was frustrated. If only she could have gotten pregnant before she broke up with him.


    Just yourself? Nian Junting nced at the empty bed next to hers.


    Yeah, Yan Su is off meeting her boyfriend He suddenly bent down as she spoke. Their faces were inches away. She backed away nervously again. This time, Nian Junting put his arms around her waist before she could withdraw. Luosang was thrust into his chest, and they were touching each other, eye to eye. Luosang nearly sank into his gaze, but she quickly asked, Does Lawyer An know about yourte night visit?


    Are you jealous? Nian Junting looked at her with a steely gaze. His gaze was growing deeper and deeper.


    Luosang was triggered. She smiled and said, As if. I was the one that initiated the breakup. She regretted her words immediately. She almost told him the truth, but she couldnt stop herself from saying spiteful things out of jealousy.


    You are right, so I thought hard about what happened. I, Nian Junting, wont allow you to do as you please and toy with my feelings. He said coolly, Look, to date you, mypany lost billions of dors, and I lost a very expensive ring in the ocean when I proposed to you. These are devastating losses.


    Luosang was baffled. Are you going to make me pay up?


    Its good that you know what you have to do. Nian Junting smiled.


    Luosang did some mental calctions. That was billions of dors they were talking about. She would never be able to pay him back. I dont think that is my responsibility. You were the one who chose to date me. Im sorry that you had to lose billions of dors, but it doesnt make sense for me topensate you. As for the ring, you dropped it yourself. I didnt even get to see it at all.

 Chapter 664. Give Me a Child

    Chapter 664. Give Me a Child


    Breaking up with you really allowed me to see your moral quality, Nian Junting said with a cold face. Mypany lost over a hundred million because there was an issue between you and Yi Jingxi. He hired an inte water army to attack me. As for that ring, we lost it, and I was going to dive down to find it for you. You didnt let me, so I asked the divers to look for it. Im way more capable than them. If I went down, I could certainly have found it. Dont you think you should be responsible for that?


    Luosang waspletely speechless. It was impressive that he could actually pass the buck to her like that. He was so unreasonable. Breaking up allowed him to see her moral quality? She saw his moral quality, too. Even if you take me to court, the judge will find you wrong, said Luosang impatiently.


    Nian Junting snorted. Im powerful and rich, so I get to decide if Im right or wrong. Now lets talk about what I did for your fathers case. I pulled many strings. I searched in the country, then abroad, then in the country again. I hired An Lans entirew firm and spent at least five million on that. Also, I punished Yi Jingxi for you. In order to do that, I spent over a hundred million. Ive also pulled strings to ban all the films that hispany made, and I purchased that crappy film and televisionpany.


    Luosang clenched her teeth and responded, In the long term, that film and televisionpany will do you no harm at all. Itll only bring you profit.


    It hasnt made me a penny so far. Ive been losing money on it, said Nian Junting ndly. If you think its so nice, how bout I sell it to you, and you pay me the money?


    Luosang didnt know what to say. How could she possibly afford that? She rolled her eyes and said to him, Tell me, what exactly do you want?


    Pay me back. Nian Junting took out a file from his trousers pocket and said, Give me a child, and then all your debts will be cleared.


    Luosang was dumbfounded. She had been thinking about having a baby just now. She intended to use the baby to keep him from leaving her. But now, he brought himself to her. What a coincidence.


    Ive dedicated so much to you. Its reasonable for me to ask for a child. Nian Junting nced at her coldly. Besides, you know about my illness. I want you to bear me a child just in case. That way, I wont end up childless, even if I cant recover. Also, I might get back together with Leng Shuagnwei. Shes infertile, isnt she? So I should make sufficient preparations.


    Even though Luosang figured that he probably said that only to make her angry, she still felt annoyed. Arent you with An Lan? Why are you getting back with Leng Shuangwei?


    Nian Junting gave her a nd nce and said, Peoples feelings change constantly. Like you and me. A second ago, you loved me so deeply, but in the next second, you told me that you never loved me. An Lan is not bad, but only Leng Shuangwei is like the pure moonlight in my heart.


    Luosang sneered with anger. She had no idea that Leng Shuangwei was the pure moonlight in his heart. What was she, then? The dark cloud which covered the moonlight? Im afraid your mom wont let you be with your pure moonlight, Luosang said through clenched teeth.


    Thats my future business. You dont need to worry about it, said Nian Junting carelessly. Ive also given you my first time. Ive suffered all the losses in this rtionship.


    Luosang felt both ashamed and angry. I gave you mine, too, didnt I?


    How much are you worth? And how much am I worth? Theres a difference between the level of the preciousness of my first time and yours. Not to mention the fact that you wont be able to find another 29-year-old, high-level virgin guy, Nian Junting snorted coldly.

 Chapter 665. His Baby Would Be the Prettiest and Cutest

    Chapter 665. His Baby Would Be the Prettiest and Cutest


    <strong>T</strong>rantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    He was the one who was embarrassed to admit that he was still a virgin. He waspletely shameless now. Luosang nearly vomited blood. She forgot to cover her breasts in her moment of rage. Yeah, you should thank me, then. A virgin at 29 years old, youd probably stay a virgin if not for me. Oh right, I forgot, you only get hard for me. Im the only who allowed you to experience what its like to be a man.


    Nian Junting was quiet for three seconds before he retorted, Youre right, but Ive made you very happy, too, havent I? Every time Ie, youe four or five times in return. I have the short end of the stick!


    You Luosang was ring at him in rage, her chest rising and falling with her breath. She wanted to bite him out of anger. How could she have trouble sleeping out of her longing for him? How silly of her.


    Nian Junting was admiring the sight in front of him. You agree that Im right, dont you? Now sign the papers.


    You are being despicable and shameless. Luosang bit the bottom of her lip. Her eyes were filled with rage, but it was sparkling and lively. It would tempt any man, especially with her thin clothes barely covering her body.


    Nian Junting, who had been deprived of pleasures, had the sudden urge to pin her down on her bed. Im trying to reason with you. I have evidence and reason on my side. If youre not willing, Ill have to see you in court, then. Nian Junting bent down and looked her in the eye. You know how much youll have to pay me then.


    Luosang looked up at him. Their gazes interlocked. She was suddenly calm, her anger appeased. Although he didnt say it, she knew that he hadnt truly let her go. He didnt need to do this with his status and wealth. She was angry that he would use this lowly method. But it was a chance for them to ease their rtionship. She always knew what kind of person he was. She wanted a child, anyway. They would surely get back together with a child in the picture.


    I can agree to your terms, but you have to promise me that youll still keep your distance. You cant use it as an excuse toe to look for me every day. We can meet for those days that I am fertile. Only you and I can know about this, no one else. Luosang thought that it worked well for her. She didnt need to tell him the truth, and she didnt need to worry about him running away. She had wanted to tell him the truth at the beginning, but he had to proim Leng Shuangwei as his moon. She would let him love his moon, then. When she got pregnant and gave him a cold shoulder, he would surelye running back to her.


    Of course, I only want the child, not you. We should make the boundaries clear. Nian Junting grinned. He knew exactly what she was nning. She didnt want Jiang Qifei to know that they still maintained contact. Although Jiang Qifei had arranged people to spy on them, he had bought all of them. He would tell her the truth when she became pregnant and when he became a dad. If she knew about it now, he would have to wait a long time before he could be a father. He just wanted a cute baby girl. He would bring her along and show her off to Xiao Si and make him jealous. His baby would be the prettiest and cutest. Of course, if it was a boy, they would keep trying.

 Chapter 666. Making a Baby

    Chapter 666. Making a Baby


    He didnt want boys. Why would he have a son? A son would only make him unhappy and angry. He believed that sons and fathers were previous-life enemies.


    Hm, I dont think that I really like you. Luosang was so frustrated that she even wanted to die. She finally could understand why Nian Qingyun and Murong Cheng disliked their son so much sometimes. At that very moment, she wanted to bite him to death. She would let him wait and let him beg for her toe back to him. Ive told you that the person I like is Chi Shengxu. I got close to you simply to make use of you, she said.


    Nian Junting responded wrathfully, I wouldnt have a baby with you if my body could react to another woman.


    I see. That makes the two of us, Luosang replied with no mercy.


    They stared at each other for a short while, then Nian Junting threw the file on the table and said, Since we have made an agreement, sign your name on it.


    How do I know if youll go back on your word or not? Add the subsidiary agreement that I mentioned before. Luosang pointed at an empty area on the paper and said, Ill only have sex with you during my ovtory period, not any other days.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting gave her a meaningful nce, then said, In fact, I can ept test tubes. But, if you insist on doing it through sexual intercourse, Im okay with it.


    The tips of Luosangs ears even turned red. You just said that you want to have a baby with me because your body only reacts to me. Didnt you mean that well get pregnant by having sex?


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said, Youre a woman. How can you say it so straightforwardly? You see, even I didnt use those straightforward words.


    Im sorry, I found that I dont need to avoid those words when Im talking to you. No matter how straightforward I am, I cant be as shameless as you are. Luosang took a deep breath. She felt that she could even watch porn together with him and stay perfectly calm now.


    Nian Junting didnt respond, but turned and found a pen from a cab, then added a term on the contract. Look, is this good enough? he asked.


    You didnt mention that well only have sex during my ovtory period, Luosang pointed out.


    In fact, having sex during the ovtory period will only raise the chance of getting pregnant. If you want to get pregnant, you may even get pregnant during your safe period, Nian Junting said. Google it if you dont believe me.


    Luosangughed, Do you want to have sex with me anytime you want? In your dreams. If youre not satisfied, dont have a baby with me. If you want me to give you the money, I can only tell you that I have nothing to give you but my own life. Actually, she would have considered his suggestion, if he hadnt said so many awful things to make her angry just now. However, he had made her really angry.


    Alright. Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her body for a few seconds with slight discontent, then lowered his head to sign the contract. Luosang took the contract, nced at it, then signed her own name as well. Nian Junting put the contract in his pocket, then took off his sweater, showing his perfect body shape.


    What are you doing? Luosang was confused.


    Making a baby. Nian Junting started to remove his belt.


    Luosang gave a start. I just put it down in ck and white. Im not in the ovtory period now.


    Nian Junting took out his phone, opened the app, pointed at it, and said, The app on my phone shows that you are.


    Im sorry. My app shows that Im in the safe period. Luosang opened her own app.


    Nian Junting frowned and said, What app is this? Its wrong. Just uninstall it.

 Chapter 667. He Didnt Miss Her at All?

    Chapter 667. He Didn''t Miss Her at All?


    Luosang frowned. This is the most popr period application among girls. Why would you know more about these applications than us? I am the one with the period anyway, not you. I am the one keying in the data. Weve been broken up for a while now. How would you know when I had myst period?


    Nian Junting pondered what she said. She made a fair point. Ill record your data again. Tell me, when was thest time your period came?


    It hasnte at all. Luosang was dejected when she mentioned it.


    All this while? Nian Junting was shocked.


    Your period is seriously dyed. You should run a check at the hospital. If her period wasnt regr, it would affect the effectiveness of their baby making.


    Its probably because I stayed up toote for a while. Luosang frowned. It happened before when I worked too hard and didnt get enough sleep.


    Nian Junting agreed with her. She slept an average of five hours every day when she was working. It must have been hard on her body. Are you going to be staying up every night in Beijing? I dont mean to nag you, but your job is too taxing. If your period doesnte regrly, itll be difficult to get pregnant. Ill get Doctor Han to feel your pulse and prescribe you some Chinese medicine to help your body recuperate when we get back. He had to get her pregnant within three months. If not, she might not adhere to their agreement afterward.


    Whats the hurry? Luosang was baffled.


    I have to treat it seriously. You know, at the rate youre abusing your body, you might end up infertile, Nian Junting said unceremoniously. You should look after your body while youre young.


    Luosang pouted. She wasnt someone who wasted her body because she was young. She did want to have children in the future. Fine, but it has to be done secretly. I dont want people to find out that Im trying to get pregnant.


    Dont worry. Nian Junting put on his cardigan begrudgingly. Ill get going since we cant do it today.


    He was only there to make babies with her? He didnt miss her at all? Luosang was miffed.


    What? You cant bear to see me go? Nian Junting looked back at her.


    Luosang said harshly, Scram.


    I wont go, then. He sat on her bed.


    Luosang bent down and looked at him. Mr. Nian, Im afraid you will have to sit somewhere else. Im not fertile right now. I cant make babies for you.


    Nian Junting grinned. Fine then, Ill leave now. I have to climb the Great Wall with An Lan.


    Luosangs smile disappeared instantly. I hope you fall off the Great Wall and break your legs, she thought to herself.


    Goodbye. Nian Junting waved and walked to the door before he added, Oh right, how long are you staying in Beijing for?


    One week.


    Alright, Ill ask Doctor Han toe over in the next few days.


    Luosang was speechless. Theres no rush.


    Your period has been dyed for over 20 days. Dont try to argue with me. Nian Junting wanted to nag her more, but he didnt want to show too much concern, so he held it in. Im only doing this for my baby. He shut the door and left after saying his piece.


    Luosangid in bed again after he left. She felt like she was in a dream. She couldnt believe that she just signed a contract to have Nian Juntings babies. She didnt know if she shouldugh or cry.

 Chapter 668. Did You Wait Outside the Whole Night?

    Chapter 668. Did You Wait Outside the Whole Night?


    It was good, though. She didnt need to worry that some other woman might steal him. She would have his child, so he would have to be responsible for her and listen to her. She had so many thoughts in her head. When she was falling asleep, the doorbell could be heard again. Once again, she struggled back up to answer the door. This time, it was Yan Su. Her ck, shiny hair hung loosely over her shoulders. She had stayed up the whole night, so now she looked tired and sallow.


    Youre back. Did you have fun with Shi Xiangst night? You havent seen each other in a long time, so I guess you have a lot to say to each other. Luosang was honestly happy for her.


    Yan Su pressed her slightly pale lips together and dropped her eyelids. Her eyshes shook slightly as she forced a faint smile and responded, He didnt show upst night.


    Luosang was astonished. So, you waited outside the whole night?


    Yeah. The smile on Yan Sus face was bitter, and her eyes were red and misty.


    Luosang felt both sad and angry. Yesterday, Shi Xiang said so many nice words, that she was even touched. She felt that it was such a miserable thing for them to love each other without being able to be together. Early in the morning, she watched Yan Su change her outfit a few times and dress herself up very carefully before leaving the hotel. She wanted to leave a good impression on the person that she loved, but that person let her wait outside for a couple of hours. It was April. People could wear summer clothes in Xia City starting a long while ago, but in Beijing, the temperature difference between the daytime and nighttime was still huge.


    Luosang held her hands and said, Why didnt youe back early? Youre wearing so little. Its cold out there. Her hands were always cold, and now, those hands were like blocks of ice.


    You have to work today. I worried that I might disturb your sleep if I came back earlier. Exhausted, Yan Su kicked off her shoes, crawled under the quilt, and buried her face in a pillow.


    Luosang sat by her side and looked at her slightly shaking shoulders. They had lived together for over a year. Yan Su was always gentle and mild. Luosang hadnt seen her crying, but she knew that she only cried on the inside. She had left her hometown for the man that she loved and chose the most difficult way to go. A girl like that would not let herself cry unless she was really, really sad.


    Still, she didnt let Luosang see her cry. She turned her back to her. Therefore, Luosang had no choice but to wait for her to stop crying and wipe away her tears. Perhaps she and Yan Su were the same kind of person. They didnt like others to see them crying.


    As her shoulders stopped shaking, Yan Su turned around. Her eyes were misty, and one corner of the pillow was slightly damp. I dont me him. Yan Su managed a smile and said, He said that hispany provisionally arranged for him to take part in a foreign show so he couldnte out. He told me to go back early.


    Why didnt he tell you that before you left the hotelst night? Luosang was angry. How could he do that? If Nian Junting did the same to her, she would be so pissed off that she would punish him so hard. Nian Junting could be evil and sharp-tongued sometimes, but he would never let her be starved and frozen.


    Yan Su sighed and responded, He said its an urgent arrangement. When he was preparing toe out, his manager suddenly showed up. Ive looked up that show online. He didnt lie.


    Luosang fell into silence. Perhaps that was the reason why many stars used their busy jobs as an excuse when they broke up with their partners. You can see him tonight. He wont leave right away, said Luosang.


    No. Tonight, after finishing the show, hell fly to Shanghai to take pictures for a magazine cover and then fly back tomorrow at noon. Big stars are always so busy. Yan Su shook her head. I n to go back to Xia City this afternoon.

 Chapter 669. Although No One Else Could Understand What They Were Saying, Luosang Did

    Chapter 669. Although No One Else Could Understand What They Were Saying, Luosang Did


    Its good for you to go back. She was either waiting for him at thepany or in front of the hotel. Luosang used to wait for Yi Jingxi beneath Yi Group as well. Waiting for someone was a long, tiresome affair. Luosang couldnt bear to watch Yan Su like this. She regretted asking her along on this trip.


    I think Ill focus on my album maybe if I dont make it, I wont even qualify to meet him again. Yan Su was worn out. She had never felt this exhausted in her life before as she slowly closed her eyes. Luosang pulled the duvet covers over her, looking worried.


    In the afternoon, after having lunch with Yan Su, she took her to the train station. At the train station, she said, Su, call me when you reach Xia City safely.


    Alright, dont take me further. Go back to Fanyu, dont bete! Yan Su said as she boarded the train.


    Luosang watched her disappear before heading back to thepany. When she entered the studio, she didnt leave until six oclock in the evening for dinner. A voice actors dinner is simple, three dishes and rice. That day she had boiled tofu, boiled pork ribs, and winter melon.


    After a while, Shi Xiangs Korean assistant walked in with arge Japanese bento box. When he walked out of the studio, his assistant uncovered the box to reveal foie gras, teriyaki unagi, butterfly prawns, tempura, and sashimi.


    Tang Cheng whispered to her on the side, F*ck, look at what hes eating. Superstars get treated so differently from us. Even his dinner is ten times better than ours.


    Are you sure its only ten times? Luosangughed and shook her head. Look at his bento. Its from the most famous Japanese restaurant in Beijing. The minimum spending there is three thousand dors.


    Tang Cheng nced at his own food and said through gritted teeth, Hes just good looking and has a couple of good songs. His voice acting is garbage. This industry is so unfair. Voice actors dont get much at all. Its so different in Japan. Voice actors over there are practically celebrities on their own.


    There are many things that could be improved in our countrys media industry. Forget about it. Luosang sighed.


    Tang Cheng pouted and continued, You havent heard, have you? Shi Xiang only walked into the studio at five oclock today. Youre going to have to stay til past midnight with him again. Dont say yes anymore. Hes going to earn millions for just a few hours of his time, but you will be teaching him the skills for nothing at all.


    Luosang didnt want to say anything. They had made an agreement that they would start at three. Forget yesterday, how could he bete again today?


    Shi Xiang walked out of the studio, and his assistant handed over the bento box. He walked over to Luosang and said, Lets eat together. Theres so much food, I cant finish it all.


    Its alright, Im nearly done, Luosang smiled and quickened her pace.


    Shi Xiang looked at her silently before picking out a few pieces of sushi and prawns and putting them into her bowl. He also proceeded to share his food with Tang Cheng. Tang Chengs expression softened. The Korean assistant walked over and spoke to Shi Xiang in Korean while maintaining a smile on her face. Shi Xiang replied to her in Korean.


    Although no one else could understand what they were saying, Luosang did. She always had an exceptional gift withnguages. The assistant was asking him why he bothered sharing his food with them when they were just ordinary voice actors. She was telling him that he didnt need to lower his own standards to befriend them. Shi Xiang told her that he needed Luosang to teach him voice acting that night.

 Chapter 670. Youre Going Too Far

    Chapter 670. You''re Going Too Far


    Luosang lowered her head, smiled, then pretended not to understand theirnguage and asked, Korean sounds really interesting, but I cant understand a word.


    Shi Xiang turned, smiled at her, and said, She said I should give you more.


    Hearing that, Tang Cheng said, Your Korean assistant is really nice.


    In fact, Korean people are all very friendly, said Shi Xiang with an honest face.


    Luosang kept eating quietly. Who said that singers arent good at acting? In this industry, everybody is good at acting, she thought.


    After dinner, people returned to their own studios. At 11 oclock at night, when Luosang prepared to leave, the assistant director asked her to stay and help Shi Xiang again. She didnt want to, but still, she walked into that studio, as she had something to say to him.


    Seeing here in, Shi Xiang asked her in a low voice, Wheres Su? Why didnt I see her today?


    She went back to Xia City. Luosang gave a fake smile and said sarcastically, She has no reason to stay here, as all she can do in this ce is wait.


    Im sorry. Shi Xiang lowered his beautiful eyes and responded, I really wanted to see her, but there was a situationst night.


    Luosang sighed quietly. This man could really break womens hearts when he apologized. However, she had never been a fan of any star, and added to the fact that she now had a bad impression of him, she honestly could not ept his apology.


    Yeah, because of your situation, Su stayed outside the hotel the whole night. She waited a couple of hours for you. It was only eight degreesst night, and shes afraid of cold weather the most. But still, she waited for you outside, wearing a thin coat. In order toe here to see you, she turned down all the events that herpany arranged for her and dropped all her sses in school. She came here without hesitation.


    Luosang sneered and continued, Shi Xiang, I know that youre a popr singer, that youre famous all over Asia. Youre so popr that all the other people want to kiss your feet. But I only see that you hurt my friend. Shes been making sacrifices for you. What have you ever sacrificed for her?


    An annoyed look shed across Shi Xiangs gorgeous face as he replied, I have promised her that Ill make our rtionship public in just a few years. Ill be responsible for her, and Ill marry her. Im only 23 years old now. If I told our rtionship to the public now, my career would be affected. It would be bad for her future career, too.


    No one asked you to do that, said Luosang aggressively. I can understand that you had an unexpected situation. But the one who waited outside for you was sad. You stood her up but expect this to end with a sorry from you. Havent you thought about ordering her some food online? In that way, she would at least feel a slight warmth. Pardon me for speaking frankly, but nowadays you can order food and flowers online any time you want. Those online stores take orders any time. If you wanted, all you needed to do was tap your phone screen for a few times. It wouldnt leak your personal information. Ive been friends with Su for quite a long time, but I havent seen you give her one single gift. Does your assistant have her eyes on your phone 24 hours a day?


    Miss Xu, youre going a little too far on this. Shi Xiang finally couldnt help but frown. His voice sounded slightly unhappy. Su and I have known each other since high school. Youve only known her for about a year. Im grateful that shes had a friend like you during the past year, but after all, this is our own business. We have our own way of maintaining this rtionship. Im a star, so I cant do whatever I want. In thest half year, my time for sleep was never more than six hours. I am doing high-intensity work. About our rtionship, I might owe Su everything, but you have no right to tell me what to do.

 Chapter 671. Nian Junting Paced in Front of Her Door

    Chapter 671. Nian Junting Paced in Front of Her Door


    Youre right, I am just a voice actor, and Im not qualified to talk to a superstar. I should be thankful and honored to be speaking to a star like you, but Im speaking to you today as Sus good friend, Luosang mocked him angrily.


    Shi Xiang looked up at her for a while and said suddenly, Miss Xu, the reason why you are so angry today is because I refused to help you when Su asked me to, right? Because I said no when Su asked me to help you secure the lead role?


    Luosang was stunned. She had had an alright impression of Shi Xiang before this. Now that impression waspletely tarnished.


    I hope Su exined to you that it wasnt appropriate for me to step in, Shi Xiang said matter-of-factly. Didnt yound the role anyway with your own capabilities?


    You are really unbelievable! Luosang couldnt stand being in the same room with him a minute longer. I cant teach you voice acting. You should look for someone else. Luosang turned to leave.


    Shi Xiangs Korean assistant approached her and said in broken Mandarin, Why did youe out?


    We have a gap in our understanding of his character. I wont be able to teach him, Luosang said and walked towards the exit.


    I think you were chased out because you had other motives talking to Shi Xiang, not because you cant teach him, the assistant suddenly said. I saw the two of you conversing the whole time behind the ss window. Although I couldnt make out what the two of you were saying, I could tell that he was getting upset. Ive seen many staff members like you. Are you trying to gain his attention? We wont be asking you for help anymore. Please stay away from him from now on.


    Luosangughed, incredulous. She had seen all sorts of people in the industry but never had she met anyone so obnoxious as this assistant. Rest assured, I dont want to interact with this crappy team anyway. You guys are alwayste for the sessions, and you expect me to stay til one or two in the morning. I dont need this in my life. She walked away after saying her piece.


    The assistant looked enraged. He turned around and said to the directors assistant, If we knew that you hired voice actors like her, we wouldnt have agreed to join the project. Who does she think she is? Shes just a voice actress. Shi Xiang is the Prince of Asia. This is only day two. Youd better swap her out, or we wont cooperate with the rest of the production.


    Dont be angry. The directors assistant chuckled and handed over a cigarette. If we find someone new, we would have wasted two days.


    How much does it cost to find someone new? The Korean assistant said unceremoniously, You do as you deem fit!


    David, dont make things hard for all of us. Shi Xiang suddenly appeared behind them and said, We n to concentrate on the market over here this year. I dont wish to have a bad reputation here.


    But


    Drop it. Shi Xiang turned and walked back into the studio. He wasnt trying to help Xu Luosang, but he was worried that she would say bad things about him to Yan Su if her role was stripped. He was seriously concerned as to whether she would sow discord between him and Yan Su.


    Luosang was infuriated after her encounter with Shi Xiang and his assistant. She decided to buy supper to vent her frustrations. She brought a bowl of ramen,mb and beef skewers, squid strips, and grilled squid back to her hotel.


    When she arrived at her floor, she looked down to search for her room key. When she looked up, she saw Nian Junting pacing around in front of her door.

 Chapter 672. Will He Leave After He Has Some Food?

    Chapter 672. Will He Leave After He Has Some Food?


    This morning, Nian Junting had made her angry. And at night, she was angry with Shi Xiang. She got angry when seeing any man now. She felt that men were the most annoying creatures in the world. All Nian Junting thought about was visiting Yonghe Lama Temple and the Great Wall with another woman, and he used work as an excuse.


    When she saw Nian Junting, he saw her, too. He also saw the food boxes she carried, about five of them. He remembered that Yan Su had gone home earlier today, so that food was probably for just Luosang. He knew that his woman had a greater appetite than other women.


    When she walked closer, Nian Junting saw the kebab that stuck out of the stic bags in her hand, then he couldnt help but knit his brows. Youre going to have a baby, and your period is over half a monthte. Yet still, you do know how to take care of yourself. All this is junk food, he said.


    Luosang felt so annoyed. Arent you climbing the Great Wall with An Lan? she asked.


    Its dark. How can we still be climbing the Great Wall? As the first thing she mentioned was what happened between him and An Lan, Nian Junting guessed that she was jealous. He wanted her to be jealous so she wouldnt dare to irritate him with Chi Shengxu again.


    What are you doing here? Luosang asked. Did you bring Doctor Han here?


    Im here to tell you that Doctor Han is in Chengdu for an exchange meeting. Hell be back in Xia City in a couple of days. I think hell be there when you go back home. While speaking, Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her pretty face. He surely wouldnt tell her that he came there because he missed her so much.


    Luosang felt speechless. Do you have toe here to tell me about that? Why didnt you call?


    Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, I deleted your number long ago. You think Id keep your number after what you did to me?


    You could have messaged me on WeChat then, Luosang replied.


    Ive dragged you into my cklist.


    Cant you drag me out?


    How? I dont know how. I never disliked a person so much that I had to drag him or her into the cklist. Youre the first one, said Nian Junting expressionlessly. I didnt want to ask Lu Kang and the others about it. After all, they all think that we have broken off our rtionship.


    His shameless words made Luosang so angry that she evenughed. You know how to drag people into the cklist but dont know how to drag people out. Who would believe that? she thought. She took out the card key, opened the door, and said, Alright, I already know that Doctor Han wonte here. You can leave now.


    Im hungry. Give me some of your food, Nian Junting pushed the door open and walked straight in. Luosang didnt know what to say. Will he leave after he has some food? she wondered. She admitted that she had been missing him a lottely. However, he had said that Leng Shuangwei was like the pure moonlight in his heart, and that made her very unhappy. For that reason, she wanted him to suffer more.


    Why are you standing at the door? Hurry up and take out the food. Nian Junting took a stic bag out of her hand, opened it, and took out a skewer of beef, finishing it in two bites. It tasted awful, he said with dislike. Then, he picked up another skewer and continued eating.


    Luosang had only bought five skewers of grilled beef, and he finished four of them in one breath. Why did you eat so much if its not good? She was beyond endurance.


    Im too hungry.


    Why? Didnt your An Lan have a good meal with you?


    Could she be like you? She eats in small bites, as she doesnt want to get fat. Unlike her, you eat as much as four adult males. Nian Junting opened her noodles while speaking.


    Luosang rubbed her forehead. She suddenly felt that Shi Xiang was actually quite nice. Even though he never ordered food for Yan Su, he never ate Yan Sus food, either. Unlike him, Nian Junting was

 Chapter 673. She Was Going to Bear That Bastard Nian Junting a Child as Soon as Possible

    Chapter 673. She Was Going to Bear That Bastard Nian Junting a Child as Soon as Possible


    She let him eat and went to shower. Halfway through her shower, Nian Junting called out from outside, Im leaving.


    Luosang was astonished. The bathroom door in the hotel had no lock, so she was originally worried that he would walk in uninvited. She was really sleepy. She wanted to go to bed after she showered, but she thought he would find an excuse to stay with her. She didnt expect him to leave so soon. Did he really not have any feelings for her anymore? He was acting so properly in front of her now. Luosang was vexed as she dried and dressed.


    She was already feeling down. When she saw that there were only squid strips left on the table, she nearly vomited blood. She was furious. She had bought so much food, and all he left her was some strips of squid. How inconsiderate.


    She was starving. Did hee over just to take revenge on her? She didnt know how long it would take for delivery services to reach her if she ordered food online now. Forget about it, she thought to herself. She was going to bear with her hunger and go to bed.


    After lying in bed for a while, the doorbell rang. She looked through the peephole to see a delivery man standing outside. When she opened her door, he said, Hello, this is your birds nest and mousse cake.


    Luosang was stunned. I didnt order this.


    Im not sure about that. This is the correct address, the delivery man said. You are Miss Xu?


    Luosang nodded.


    Its correct, then. You are so pretty, it might be from an admirer. The man handed the food to her and left promptly.


    Luosang shut the door behind her and opened the package. The birds nest was contained in an borate porcin bowl. The cake was a pink heart-shaped mousse cake that was 13 inches across. It was delicately made, and it made her happy. It would make anyone happy.


    After a while, she dialed Nian Juntings number. What? a cold and hard voice answered the phone.


    I should be asking you that. Did you send the cake? Luosang was nervous. She was also a little hopeful.


    Were you hoping it was Chi Shengxu? Of course it was me, Nian Junting said sarcastically.


    Luosang bit her lip, and she tried hard not to smile too widely. Do you know what cake you sent? Its heart-shaped.


    What? Nian Junting sounded surprised over the line. I was just worried that you would be too hungry to bear me a child. I told the shop to send any cake over. I didnt know they would send you a heart-shaped one. Thats ridiculous.


    She found the situation ridiculous.


    Since you already received it, I cant do anything about it. Ill give them feedback, not to be so careless in the future. Nian Junting hung up after that.


    Luosang looked at her phone and looked over at the cake again. She couldnt help but smile. She had misunderstood him, earlier. Now, she couldnt bear to dig into such an exquisite cake.


    After a long debate with herself, she finally decided to sumb to the cakes temptation, and she stuck her spoon into the cake. It was smooth and velvety. Shed had plenty of cake in the past, but it was nothingpared to this.


    Out of curiosity, she looked up the bakery on the cake box online, and she was shocked to find out that the cake cost 12,800 dors. That bastard, a random cake cost him over ten thousand dors. Luosang smiled to herself as she ate the cake.


    She was nning to eat half of the cake, but now she was determined to finish the entire thing. She didnt want to let his good-intentions go to waste. After she had her fill, sheid in bed, satisfied. She decided that she was going to bear that bastard Nian Junting a child as soon as possible.


    He treated her so well, even when they broke up. He was definitely a keeper.

 Chapter 674. You Tried to Seduce Him at Work

    Chapter 674. You Tried to Seduce Him at Work


    The next day, when Luosang was lying on her bed and looking at her phone, she got a call from the director of team Fanyu. Miss Xu, Im sorry, but I have to let you know that your work schedule has been moved to the middle of next month.


    Why? Luosang asked with surprise.


    The director replied impatiently, How can you be shameless enough to ask why? Dont you know who you have offended? Shi Xiang is a superstar, and you actually tried to seduce him at work. If we had known that the voice actress Ji Nuanyi had rmended was so unprofessional, we wouldnt have picked you. However, as youve already worked for two days, and youre pretty good, we only moved your schedule to the middle of next month, so you dont have to work together with Shi Xiang.


    Luosang understood why and got so angry. Yesterday, she did worry that she might offend Shi Xiang. However, she also felt that he wouldnt be so narrow-minded, because he was Yan Sus boyfriend, after all. But to her surpriseWhen did I seduce him? Director, I can even confront him about it. I didnt do it, I just didnt. Luosang felt humiliated.


    Youre nothing but a voice actress. How dare you demand to confront him? The director sounded very unfriendly. Shi Xiang is a superstar. Does he have a reason to frame you?


    I didnt do it. And, you cant act like this. You told me that Im working at the end of this month, so Ive asked my school for leave, and Ive flown here. Now youre telling me that I need toe back next month. Arent you jerking me around? Were in this business, so we need to follow the rules of this business. Youre right, we voice actresses are insignificant, but please respect us. Luosang made an utmost effort to fight for her rights.


    If you think its inappropriate, feel free to do whatever you want. But, you have already signed the contract, so if you quit, we wont cover your expenses, and youll need topensate for our losses. After all, if you quit, the past two days that weve spent on you would be wasted.


    Luosang was infuriated. Some otherpanies had deducted her wages before when she worked for them. However, she had never been used of seduction. The Fanyu people had taken the liberty of changing her schedule because theirpany was big and rich. She had to finish her work, because otherwise, she would need to pay them for their losses. That was so shameless.


    The most shameless one was Shi Xiang. She had had a good impression of him at first because he was incredibly handsome. However, he actually made up lies about her behind her back. The more she thought about that, the more ufortable she felt.


    She found Yan Sus number, as she wanted to call her, but still, she didnt do it. Yan Su had already been in a very bad mood yesterday. If sheined about Shi Xiang to her, she would feel embarrassed, and she might get even sadder. Besides, Yan Su and Shi Xiang had known each other since high school, while she only had known her for about a year. Perhaps Yan Su would tend to believe Shi Xiang more.


    Luosang dropped her phone.


    At three oclock in the afternoon, Luosang headed straight to the studio at Fanyu. When she arrived, she saw Tang Cheng and Zhou Wanke talking by the door. Seeing her, Tang Cheng gave her a nce with pity, then pushed the door open and walked into the studio. Zhou Wanke tuned back, smiled at her, and said, Xu Luosang, what are you doing here? As far as I know, your schedule has been changed, right?


    Luosang narrowed her eyes and said, They switched my schedule with yours?


    Didnt you know? said Zhou Wanke scornfully. Thats because you tried to seduce Shi Xiang. I dont like your kind of people the most. You always pretend to be so virtuous, but in private, you do things like that. From this day on, Ill be teaching Shi Xiang voice acting.

 Chapter 675. I Care about Her a Lot. I Dont Want to Lose Her.

    Chapter 675. I Care about Her a Lot. I Don''t Want to Lose Her.


    Do you really think I care about teaching him? Luosang said angrily. She finally understood what it meant by, never judge a book by its cover. She didnt understand why someone as handsome as he was would spread rumors like that about her.


    What are you doing here if you dont care? Zhou Wanke pointed to the door behind her. You should buy a ticket home as soon as possible. There isnt any use, even if you go look for the director. You shouldnt have messed around with Shi Xiang. Hes the biggest A-list star now. Although hes a singer, he has plenty of film and television projects on his te as well. Sheughed sarcastically and walked back into the recording studio.


    Luosang knew that her words would bear little weight, especially when pitted against Shi Xiangs, but she had to try to defend herself. She would hate for the rumors that she tried to seduce Shi Xiang to spread all over the industry. It would drastically affect her reputation and her career.


    She waited for 45 minutes before Shi Xiang appeared with his assistant and his bodyguard. Shi Xiang. Luosang walked over briskly towards him, but his bodyguard blocked her path immediately before she could draw close.


    When Shi Xiang saw her, he looked upset. He wondered what she had to say now. Whats the matter?


    You used me falsely of trying to seduce you and asked thepany to shift my schedule! What do you think the matter is? Luosangughed coldly. Ask yourself truthfully, did I or did I not try to seduce you?


    Shi Xiang frowned. He was taken aback by her confrontation. His assistant, David Han, looked upset. Whats the matter with Fanyu? How could they allow her to confront Shi Xiang like this? Im calling your director. This is outrageous.


    David. Shi Xiang stopped him and looked at him. What did you tell the crew?


    David Han said, I just told them that she was harassing you. I wanted them to rearrange her work time so that you wont have to bump into her while youre here. I didnt expect her to be so thick about it. What a shameless girl.


    Did I harass you? Luosang red at Shi Xiang.


    She didnt harass me, alright? Shi Xiang said to David, Go exin things to the crew, ask them to switch things back. Exin to them that it was a misunderstanding. We merely had a divergence of opinions while interpreting one of the characters in the game.


    I can tell them that, but I dont think the schedule can be changed further. David shrugged. Another voice actor is already in the studio. We shouldnt be so fickle and careless.


    Luosang was agitated. So you do know that you shouldnt be so careless? How could you spread those rumors without getting to the bottom of things? It may be a small matter to you, but have you considered the impact on my reputation?


    Miss Xu, can we please talk in private? Shi Xiang asked.


    Shi Xiang, I dont think that will be necessary. Lets leave her be. David Han looked indifferent.


    Shi Xiang looked at him with disapproval. He walked towards the window and lowered his voice. Miss Xu, my assistant may be a little out of it. Although I might not be able to change the schedule now, I will make sure that I exin the entire situation to the crew. I wont tarnish your reputation one bit. Im willing topensate you for your return tickets, amodation fees, and all other mary losses as well.


    Luosang pursed her lips in silence. Her face was clean and pretty.


    Please dont tell Su about this. I dont want her to misunderstand. Shi Xiang added, I dont care what you think of me, but I care about her a lot. I dont want to lose her.


    Luosang paused to think before saying, Im sorry, Ive already told Su.


    Shi Xiangs beautiful features were suddenly contorted in an ugly manner. Thats not nice of you toe between us like that.

 Chapter 676. Does He Have Another Girlfriend in Korea

    Chapter 676. Does He Have Another Girlfriend in Korea


    Luosang paused for a few seconds and then asked, When did I sow division between you?


    You talked to her before you even figured out the truth. Didnt you think that she might misunderstand me? Shi Xiang looked at her with discontent, saying, Sus old friends are all fine. I didnt think that shed be friends with someone like you


    Luosang gazed at him for a while, then smiled. Mr. Shi, in fact, I lied to you. I didnt tell Su what happened. I just wanted to know how you would react.


    Shi Xiang was a little stunned, and then he sighed in relief. However, now he was even unhappier. Whats the point of that?


    I wanted to know what kind of person you are. Luosang smiled and said, It turns out that you have no ss. Su has poor taste.


    Shi Xiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, I am warning you, dont talk nonsense in front of Su.


    Mr. Shi, youve sung a few songs and have be a big star, but dont think that everyone should be afraid of you, said Luosang.


    I can ruin your reputation with one word, Shi Xiang warned her, then turned and walked to his bodyguard and assistant.


    Luosang felt that she had no reason to keep talking to a man like that. She didnt want to dub for the game anymore, and she wasnt afraid of breaking the contract.


    Before she had met Shi Xiang in person, she thought he was perfect. But now, she really didnt like him. When she walked past Shi Xiang, David Han red at her with dislike, then turned to say to Shi Xiang in Korean, When you two talked alone in that corner, I thought you fancied her.


    Shi Xiang responded in Korean in azy tone, How could it be possible? That kind of woman can be seen everywhere.


    Dont say that. Shes pretty. But if Young Mistress knew, shed be unhappy, David Han replied, thenughed. Dont disappoint Young Mistress. Shes longing for you.


    Shi Xu smiled and stayed silent. Luosang, who had walked only a few steps away, was now shocked. What Young Mistress? Did Shi Xiang have another girlfriend in Korea? His assistant had said that, and he hadnt denied it.


    Luosang couldnt be sure if he was with that Young Mistress, but their rtionship was certainly not normal. They might be flirting with each other. His assistant called her Young Mistress, so that woman definitely had a remarkable family background. What was it between him and Yan Su, then? Was he with Yan Su while flirting with another woman? No wonder he always acted so secretively.


    Luosang had never been angrier. She felt like she was the one who had been betrayed. Yan Su had done so much for him. She came to Xia City alone, angering her parents. She strived to enter the entertainment industry because she believed that as long as she became a star, she could be with Shi Xiang.


    What now?


    Yan Sus love and her youth had been wasted on that man. How could such an awful man even exist? Luosang really wanted to go back and beat him up. But for her own career, she didnt let herself do that. Shi Xiang had so many fans, if she attacked him, his fans might find her and kill her.


    She waited for the elevator. The elevator door opened, and two men walked out. Luosang didnt pay attention to them. When she brushed past those two men, one of them suddenly turned back and saw her lowering her eyes. Her skin was snow white, and that made her look like she was of mixed blood. Her cheeks were slightly bulged because she was angry. As the elevator door slowly closed, her face disappeared from his sight.


    Whats wrong? his friend asked.

 Chapter 677. He Was Anxious to Finally Reunite with Xu Luosang

    Chapter 677. He Was Anxious to Finally Reunite with Xu Luosang


    She is? Mo Liuxis eyes narrowed, and he spat out the question with a thick foreign ent.


    His friend looked at the recording studio and said, Shes probably a voice actor.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed his arm and asked agitatedly, Do you know her name?


    How would I know that? Thepany belongs to my dad. Although I participated in the production of this game, Im not really involved in the post-production work. I can help you ask around, though. His friend was astonished to see him this way. He was usually aloof, and his gaze was always cold and steely, but it was overflowing with emotion and excitement now. He had known Mo Luixi for a while, and he always maintained a poker face. Do you know her? Or have you fallen in love with her at first sight?


    Mo Liuxi looked at him emotionlessly now. After a while, his lips quivered. Find her information, immediately.


    His friend looked at him with his mouth agape. He didnt seem like he wanted to answer his question. As son of Fanyus CEO, Chu Jiu, it was a piece of cake for him to find the information he needed. After a phone call, within 15 minutes, the CEOs secretary walked over to them while they were still touring the technical department. Master Chu, Master Mo, Ive found the girl you are looking for. Shes called Xu Luosang. She is one of the voice actresses that we recently signed.


    Xu Luosang Mo Liuxi was muttering her name softly, and his hard face was suddenly filled with emotion. He never thought that someone he had heard about since he was a child would appear in front of him so casually. At first, he thought the girl resembled his mother, but there were plenty of people in the world who looked like each other. He was just checking to be sure. He didnt expect to be right.


    After he entered adulthood, Mo Jin had told him that he had an older sister and a disappointing father. He never nned on reconciling with his dad, but he still yearned to meet his sister. He asked for the Xu familys address from Mo Jin, but when he got there, Xu Zhengxuan was already in jail for outrage of modesty.


    He was ashamed that his father was a criminal, and Xu Luosang was nowhere to be found then. At the same time, Mo Jin had met with an ident, and he had to rush back. It was years before he was back again afterpleting school overseas. He didnt expect to bump into his sister the moment hended in Beijing. Mo Jin would be ted if she found out.


    Mo Liuxi clenched his fist tightly. He was anxious to finally reunite with Xu Luosang. He had to hold himself back from doing anything impulsive, though. Xu Luosang didnt even know of his existence, after all.


    He drew in a long breath. Can you tell me more about her situation?


    The secretary looked at him in confusion. Although this guy was young, it was rare for his genius Young Master to respect anyone like this. He must be someone important. Master Mo, you might not be familiar with this since youve been abroad. Xu Luosang is infamous here. Her father is a criminal formitting acts of indecency. Theyve been in the spotlight for a while now.


    Mo Liuxi looked downcast. He detested all mentions of Xu Zhengxuan. He already had a stoney expression, and with his domineering aura, he instantly sent chills down the secretarys back.


    Go on. Chu Jiu gestured with his chin.


    The secretary nodded. Well, speaking of Xu Luosang, her life could be written into a novel. She is very gifted in the voice acting industry. It was a pity when her fathernded in jail. She broke up with her fianc then, Yi Jingxi, too. Oh, right. Yi Jingxi took over the Xu familys filmpany and renamed it the Yi Group afterward. Rumor has it that he went around making sure Xu Luosang would never get another gig in the industry again after that.

 Chapter 678. His Sisters Boyfriend Is an Old Man

    Chapter 678. His Sister''s Boyfriend Is an Old Man


    Why did he ban Xu Luosang? Mo Liuxi narrowed his ck eyes, which were glowing with a cold light. Wasnt she his fiancee?


    That man was probably aiming at her family business. The assistant chuckled. Thats what people said. After that, Xu Luosang dropped out of school and went to Xia City, since she had no other choice. Shes studying in Ximei now, and shes Nian Juntings girlfriend.


    Whos Nian Junting? Mo Liuxi interrupted him coldly, once again. Based on what Yi Jingxi had done, he had no good feelings for his sisters boyfriend at all.


    The president of Shengting Group. He founded Shengting single-handedly. His mother is the president of Zhongzhou, and his father is from a military family. Anyway, even our chairman doesnt dare to look down on him.


    I guess hes pretty old, then. Mo Liuxi felt even more annoyed. It seemed that his sister was living a poor life, indeed. Her boyfriend was actually an old man. Her taste was as poor as Mo Jins. A girl and her mother could be exactly alike.


    Um, actually, hes even younger than me, said the assistant shamefacedly. Hes only 30 and is considered the youngest financier in the country.


    Isnt he old? Mo Liuxi responded with a big frown. Xu Luosang hadnt even had her twenty-fourth birthday yet.


    Hes a little old for you, said the assistant, But I think for Xu Luosang, hes fine. Women like to be with men who are a couple of years older than they are. However, Nian Junting is very handsome, so its reasonable for girls to like him.


    Handsome men are fickle in love, Mo Liuximented.


    Youre more handsome than any man. Are you fickle in love, too? Chu Jiu said while trying to keep himself fromughing out loud.


    Do notpare me with that kind of old man. Mo Liuxi nced at him ndly.


    Chu Jiu didnt know how to respond. How did Nian Junting offend you? Did he steal your wife? he wondered.


    The assistant smiled and continued, All in all, Nian Junting is pretty nice. He unbanned Xu Luosang, allowing her to work as a voice actress again. Earlier, a video of Xu Zhengxuan threatening his students emerged online, and Xu Luosang was affected again. It even influenced Shengting. They lost over a billion. But still, Nian Junting solved the rumor problem for Xu Luosang and never left her. But I heard that they broke up a couple of days ago.


    Scum, said Mo Liuxi through clenched teeth. His sister was so silly that she was fooled by indecent men over and over again. However, since he had found her, he wouldnt let anyone bully her again. From now on, he would treat her like a princess. If anyone dared to hurt her, he would kill them.


    Chu Jiu couldnt help but add, Hes not exactly scum. He has lost over a billion, after all. Thats arge number.


    Is a billion a big sum of money? Mo Liuxi threw the question back ndly.


    Chu Jiu was speechless. He was as arrogant as always. The assistant gave a bitter smile. Nowadays, many young people were arrogant.


    Since shes working for yourpany, I guess shelle here every day, right? Mo Liuxi asked. In that case, he might be able to see her again today or tomorrow.


    Theres another thing, the assistant hurriedly replied. Ive asked around just now, and I heard that Xu Luosang tried to seduce Shi Xiang at work. Shi Xiangs assistant told the team director about that, so the director changed her schedule. She wonte back here until the middle of next month.


    Whos Shi Xiang? Mo Liuxi couldnt help but radiate coldness from his entire body.

 Chapter 679. Why Would Such a Pretty Girl Like Xu Luosang Be Attracted to You at All?

    Chapter 679. Why Would Such a Pretty Girl Like Xu Luosang Be Attracted to You at All?


    Hes a Chinese singer that debuted in Korea. Hes super popr now, Chu Jiu answered him. Hes quite good-looking and young, 23, I think.


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head and searched him up on his phone. The search page showed many photos of Shi Xiang and pulled up his information as well. He took two looks and chuckled. Why would anyone try to seduce a guy like him? He doesnt look manly at all, impossible.


    Chu Jiu blurted out, Why are you defending her? Who is she to you, exactly?


    Someone no one should bother, Mo Liuxi replied. Is Shi Xiang still here in the building?


    The assistant swallowed nervously and nodded. Hes in the recording studio.


    Mo Liuxi recalled the studio they had walked by. He lowered his face and walked towards the door of the technical department. Chu Jiu caught up with him quickly. Are you going to look for Shi Xiang? Hes the spokesperson that my fatherspany signed.


    Mo Liuxi ignored himpletely and walked briskly into the elevator and arrived at the door of the recording studio. He kicked the wooden door open swiftly. The directors assistant recognized Chu Jiu immediately and greeted him. Master Chu, what are you doing here?


    Mo Liuxi swept into the room and his gazended on Shi Xiang, who was wearing a headset. He walked over and David Han rushed forward to try to stop him. Stop right there. Who are you? How dare you barge in here like this?


    Mo Liuxi grabbed his cor and pulled him forward. He red at him menacingly.


    The directors assistant said, flustered, This is Shi Xiangs assistant.


    So, youre from Korea? No wonder you have a stic face, Mo Liuxi said with disgust and then shoved David Han aside angrily. Although he was tall and skinny, he had long arms and strong muscles, and his shove pushed David Han all the way to the wall.


    Mo Liuxi walked into the recording studio. Shi Xiang was already in a foul mood, as his voice recording wasnt going too well, and he was annoyed that he was being interrupted like that. He mmed his headset onto the table and yelled, Whats the matter with yourpany? Anyone can barge in here now? Arent you going to do something about it?


    You are Shi Xiang, right? I heard that Xu Luosang tried to seduce you. Mo Liuxi walked in front of him and red at him. Based on your looks, why would such a pretty girl like Xu Luosang be attracted to you at all? Arent you being a little too conceited?


    Xu Luosang again? Shi Xiang was getting annoyed. I already said that I was going to make things clear. Did she find someone to take revenge on me? I dont care who the hell you are, please get out right now, or else I dont know what I will do to you.


    Well, Im going to find out what you are going to do, then, Mo Liuxi said mockingly. He grinned smugly.


    Shi Xiang looked at the man in front of him. Although he looked menacing, based on his appearance and the way he was dressed, he could tell that he was young, perhaps even younger than he was. Young little brats nowadays dont know respect, audacious, Shi Xiang thought. Shi Xiang looked behind the man and yelled, Are you guys going to chase him away? If not, I think we should end our partnership.


    Dont be angry, Shi Xiang. The directors assistant rushed in. He had a headache trying to figure out how to deal with this intruder. He was a guest of his CEOs son, after all. Master Chu, what do you think


    Come on, Liuxi Chu Jiu chuckled helplessly.


    Mo Liuxi didnt look at him but looked around the studio instead, then he said coldly, Its a joke that a singer is doing voice recording. Chu Jiu, let your father know, you should change him out.

 Chapter 680. Slap Shi Xiangs Face

    Chapter 680. p Shi Xiang''s Face


    Chu Jiu didnt know what to do. It would be easier if thepany was his. However, his father owned thepany. Also, Shi Xiang was a super popr singer. The promotional film and style design had both been done, and his final makeup photo had been punished online. If they reced him now His father would not agree.


    Shi Xiang saw him as an impetuous young man. Heughed. Are you out of your mind? Do you know who I am? Do you know how much time and money Fanyu spent to get me here? Assistant Wu, Im not gonna do the voice acting today. Ill nevere back here, unless you give me a formal apology.


    Please dont. Frightened, Assistant Wu quickly gave Chu Jiu an eye signal.


    Mo Liuxi turned to Chu Jiu and said, Rece him. Ill introduce a Hollywood A-list male star to you.


    Assistant Wu paused in shock. Where was this crazy friend of Young Master Chus from? He was way too arrogant. However, Chu Jius eyes glowed. Are you sure?


    Im sure. Mo Liuxi nodded.


    Okay, well rece him. Chu Jiu immediately made the decision. Assistant Wu nearly knelt on the ground.


    Shi Xiang heard that as he was leaving, and his veins began throbbing in his temples. Since he had be famous, he had never been humiliated like that. A Hollywood A-list male star? I think youre talking idiotic nonsense. Good, since you broke the contract first, dont me us for being unfriendly. After saying that, he walked away angrily withrge strides.


    David Han picked up his bag, then turned back, pointed at Chu Jiu, and said, We wont let you get away with this. After giving the warning, he quickly followed Shi Xiang.


    Assistant Wu buried his head in his arms. He nearly copsed. Young Master Chu, youve created a huge problem this time. Shi Xiang has tens of millions of fans. If he says one bad word about Fangyu out there, well be overwhelmed by verbal abuse from his fans. Our new game hasnt even been released yet. This will bring us a great negative influence. Besides, Shi Xiang is such a superstar. Who can possibly rece him?


    Didnt my friend just tell you? An A-list male star from Hollywood. Chu Jiu pointed at Mo Liuxi.


    Rx. Ive given you my word. Ill do what I said, Mo Liuxi responded coldly.


    Assistant Wu paused briefly. He did not believe Mo Liuxi, but he was indeed shaken by his determined tone. Thats true, but its inappropriate for us to rece him for no reason, isnt it? Were the ones who did wrong, no matter how we exin it. We asked Shi Xiang to ept our offer repeatedly back in the beginning.


    Chu Jiu frowned, as he didnt know what to do. Mo Liuxi abruptly said, I remember I saw that man named Shi Xiang walk into the studio at four oclock. Was hete, or was that the right time?


    Assistant Wus eyes glowed. He was an hourte every day, so the dubbers that we hired to teach him always got off work at one or two in the morning.


    Mo Liuxis cold face showed a meaningful smile as he said, Isnt that the perfect reason for you to rece him? As a first-line star, heste for work, and he turned up his nose to the others. Even the most patientpany cant stand that. Dont just stand here. Go talk to your publicity department and tell them to release the news with the name of yourpany. You can also bring some great publicity to yourself by doing that. People will certainly talk about it and choose sides. However, when youve signed the contract with an A-list Hollywood male star, youll be able to p Shi Xiang in the face. An international star versus an Asian singer. People will know which one is worth more.


    Yes, yes, Im doing it right now. Assistant Wu hurriedly nodded and then started arranging everything in haste.

 Chapter 681. How Could His Woman End Up Taking a Hard-Seat Train?

    Chapter 681. How Could His Woman End Up Taking a Hard-Seat Train?


    Chu Jiu looked back at Mo Liuxi. Arent you a cunning friend? Anyway, you havent even told me who Xu Luosang is!


    You will find out eventually. Do take care of her when shes in the recording studio next time. Dont tell her about me yet. Mo Liuxi smiled. Ive decided to study at Ximei Academy next semester.


    Chu Jiu was stunned. Dont joke around with me. Ximei is trashpared to where youre studying now.


    Its fine. Ive already mastered all the knowledge my school has to offer, anyway. Mo Liuxi was still grinning. He was excited to see his sisters face when she saw him for the first time.


    After getting back to the hotel, Luosang started angrily packing her luggage. She was so angry, she didnt want to stay in Beijing a minute longer, and she took the first train back home. After the train departed, she posted a status update on her social media ount: There are too many unfriendly voice actors in this world.


    Nian Junting was waiting for his flight at the airport when he saw her status update. He frowned and dialed her number immediately. He was anxious, and he blurted out when the line connected, Who bullied you?


    I thought you said you deleted my phone number and blocked my social media ount? Why are you still showing me any concern? We already broke up, Luosang said unceremoniously.


    In his moment of haste, he had forgotten about their breakup. I asked An Lan for your number when I went backst night, and she taught me how to unblock you online. Seems like it worked. Nian Junting continued, Its rare for you to post a status update. Im just curious who bullied you. I might send him a gift.


    Luosang was annoyed. Stop talking to me.


    I saw your photo. Youre taking the train? Nian Junting asked.


    Yup.


    Nian Junting was frustrated. Youre not going to get back to Xia City until the wee hours. The train ride is over ten hours long. Youre sitting on a hard seat, right? Whats the matter with you? Why cant you just buy a high-speed rail or ne ticket?


    Luosang was helpless. Ast-minute ne ticket would cost me two thousand dors, and the high-speed rail ticket would cost over six hundred dors. I thought about it, and I didnt think it was worth it. Thats why Im taking the train. I only paid a hundred bucks for a hard seat. Im not in a rush, anyway. I dont have to spend the night on the train, either. Ill be back around midnight.


    Nian Junting was furious. How could his woman end up taking a hard-seat train? If youre taking the train, you should have at least bought a bunk. It would only cost a hundred more. I thought you had three million dors. Why do you have to be so stingy with yourself?


    No matter what, she had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth up until she was 20 years old. He had spoiled her previously for a period as well. She shouldnt have to endure such hardship anymore. She seemed to be addicted to suffering. Xu Luosang, this is the reason why your period is sote. You havent been taking care of yourself at all. You should pay attention to your own health more. Get off the train now and go take the high-speed rail. Ill wire you the money.


    Its fine, its too much trouble. I would need to go to the high-speed rail station, and the timing might not match, as well. Dont worry, Im young, and I am definitely going to be able to bear you a child. Luosang hung up after she said her piece.


    Before long, Yan Su called her. Whats going on? What happened? Didnt Shi Xiang take special care of you?


    Luosang sighed. Shi Xiang did take special care of her. Its difficult to exin. Ill tell you more about it when Im back. Dont ask Shi Xiang about it.

 Chapter 682. Whos Troubling You?

    Chapter 682. Who''s Troubling You?


    Alright. Thankfully, Yan Su didnt ask further questions. Luosang looked at her number and sighed. If it was only about Shi Xus assistant framing her, switching her schedule with Zhou Wankes, and harming her reputation, she might not tell Yan Su. However, it was actually that Shi Xu might be with another woman. She felt that she had to let Yan Su know.


    Yan Su knew nothing about it. If she really had wasted her best years on a man like that, it would be a real shame. To avoid long-term suffering, she had to be decisive. Besides, what Shi Xiang did was awful. She struggled for a short while. The more she thought about it, the more strongly she felt that Shi Xiang had a problem. So, she called Ji Nuanyi. I hope I didnt interrupt you, she said.


    No. I just finished a scene. Im resting now, Ji Nuanyi said. I was going to call you and ask you what happened. I saw your WeChat post. I rmended you for that job. Whos troubling you?


    Thats not important anymore. I want to ask you about something. Luosang lowered her voice and said, Youve worked for quite a long time in the entertainment circle. Do you know about Korean artists? Do their agents always watch them so strictly that they cant even call their boyfriends or girlfriends? Like, they only call their girlfriends or boyfriends every three or four days, and they cant see their girlfriends or boyfriends in a year or even half a year?


    Ji Nuanyi chuckled and replied with great interest, Howe I smell blockbuster gossip?


    Just answer my question. Luosang got anxious.


    Last year, I worked with a first-line Korean male star for three months, so I know something about them. Theirpanies do manage them strictly. After work, we can go have some dinner, but they can only return to the hotel with their assistants. They rarely actually eat dinner, though. Usually, they only have some fruit or sd, because they need to maintain the perfect body shape. But thats only if you gain weight easily. However, its not as bad as you just said. I often see that Korean male star call his friends in a corner,ughing into his phone. His assistant rarely said a word about that. When there was no work to do, he sometimes spent time with his phone on location, too.


    The more she heard, the deeper Luosangs heart sank. So, no matter how strict theirpanies are with them, they still have personal time for rtionships.


    Of course, Ji Nuanyi said. Maybe they dont have lots of personal time, but theirpanies wont watch them, even when theyre sleeping. Look at those popr boy bands. They are managed the most strictly. Theyre young, and most of their fans are female. Some of their fans may outgrow them when they have girlfriends, but still, some reporters can asionally snap photos of them being with some girls. That one you talked about just now, who cant see his girlfriend in a year, I guess hes just ying with that girl. Theres a good chance that he has cheated on her.


    Luosangs heart sank even deeper. That sounded exactly like Shi Xiang. In fact, she had been feeling a little strange since Yan Su first told her about her rtionship with Shi Xiang. Seriously, that was not how people maintained a rtionship. No matter how busy and tired he was, didnt he even have time to text his girlfriend goodnight and good morning? Then do you think some male stars will want to be with rich and powerful women for better careers?


    Your father used to run a filmpany, so I guess youve seen a lot of that. Women can do that, and so can men, said Ji Nuanyi.

 Chapter 683. Mr. Nian, You Really Go All Out for Miss Xu, Dont You?

    Chapter 683. Mr. Nian, You Really Go All Out for Miss Xu, Don''t You?


    Dont be fooled by the glitz and mor of some of the male celebrities. They may be worshipped as idols by the public, but a lot of them have sugar mamas. Some people dont have the luck or the grit, so they will do anything to be famous. There are many men who abandon their original partners after bing wealthy and important. They have all sorts of affairs with crew members Ji Nuanyi sounded agitated as she said these things.


    She continued, When I first debuted, there were many executives, investors, and directors who wanted to go to bed with me in exchange for poprity and opportunities. I refused all of them and relied on my own hard work to make it to where I am today. Ive been around in this industry for so many years, Ive seen all sorts of things, the good and the bad. There are many dirty things in this industry. Trust me, you cant even imagine the worst of them.


    Luosang sighed. Even in the voice acting industry, not to mention the screen acting industry, she had experienced many ounts of sexual harassment because she had a pretty face. Yan Su would be devastated if she found out about this. The high school sweetheart that she was in love with was nowhere to be found anymore.


    Thanks, Nuanyi. Luosang put down her phone and stared out the window in a daze. Not knowing how much time had passed, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. She was jolted from her daze, and a train attendant was staring at her. Are you Xu Luosang?


    She nodded. The attendant said, A gentleman purchased a bunk ticket for you on this train service. Please follow me.


    Luosang was stunned. The auntie in front of her suddenly said, Who is she? You guys are inviting her there yourself?


    The superiors ordered us to. The attendant gave an awkward smile. Miss Xu, this way, please. Let me help you with your luggage.


    Ok. Luosang was stunned. She figured that it was Nian Juntings arrangement. He had expressed his strong disapproval of her travel arrangements earlier over the phone. She really had to give it to this guy, he could find her even when she was on a train.


    She followed the attendant and entered a booth. It was a four-bunk carriage, but she was the only passenger there. There were oranges, bananas, and all sorts of fruitid on the table. Although it wasnt much, it felt like a world of difference to her.


    There wont be other passengers joining you on this ride. Please make yourselffortable. We will deliver lunch, dinner, and supper to youter, the attendant exined before she walked away.


    At the airport, Nian Junting received a call from the trainpany, and they informed him that they had made the due arrangements that he had requested. He breathed a sigh of relief, and he prepared to board the ne in peace.


    An Lan couldnt help butugh at him. Mr. Nian, you really go all out for Miss Xu, dont you? You asked me to put on an act with you and treated me to a trip to Beijing and all. You were so worried about her sitting on a hard seat, its not even that big of a deal. If I remember correctly, you used to take trains like that all the time when you were serving in the military.


    How could shepare to me? Nian Junting grunted. Im a man, I can take hardships.


    An Lan sighed. She was envious of Luosang. It was a blissful thing to be loved by a man like that. She was clear on the fact that she would not interfere with something that didnt belong to her.


    Mr. Nian, I got it. Lu Kang walked over with his phone. I heard that Miss Xu had some conflict with Shi Xiang. He is a very popr singer in Asia right now.


    Nian Junting frowned. How dare he have any conflict with my woman? Doesnt he know that she is my girlfriend?


    Lu Kang cleared his throat. The public knows that you two have broken up.

 Chapter 684. Luosangs Beauty Is the Strongest Proof

    Chapter 684. Luosang''s Beauty Is the Strongest Proof


    Nian Junting knitted his eyebrows tightly. He didnt know that people were spreading that kind of rumor. Did he harass her? Does he think that he can do things to her because Ive broken up with her? Shes gorgeous, after all, he said.


    Um not exactly. Shi Xiang imed that Luosang tried to seduce him. Hearing that, Nian Junting burst out inughter, as if he had just heard a joke. That was the most hrious joke that Ive heard this year! She was in a rtionship with me. How could she possibly take a liking to a crappy singer like that?


    Lu Kang really wanted to tell his boss that Shi Xiang was pretty handsome, but to prevent Nian Junting from losing his temper, he nodded and responded, Thats right. I guess theres some other reason.


    What reason could it be? I can tell for sure that Shi Xiang tried to seduce her but failed, and then with both anger and shame, he smeared her. Nian Junting ordered, Contact Fanyu right now. My ex-girlfriend was wronged. They must give me an exnation, or theyll be my, Nian Juntings, enemy. That Shi Xiang harassed my girlfriend. I wont let him get away with it so easily.


    Lu Lang felt a little speechless. Ex-girlfriend? He thought, As her ex-boyfriend, you really mind a lot of her business. Mr. Nian, I dont think you have actual evidence of Shi Xiang harassing Miss Xu, right? Lu Kang asked. All this is just your conjecture, he continued in his head.


    Luosangs beauty is the strongest proof, Nian Junting answered without hesitation.


    An Lan felt speechless. She finally understood what partiality really meant. Lu Kang smiled bitterly and said, Mr. Nian, were gonna bete if we dont board now. Ill make arrangements back in Xia City, alright? Its inconvenient for me to call them on the ne.


    Alright. Nian Junting heard the airport announcer call his name as well.


    Two hourster, the nended in Xia City. Lu Kang switched on his phone, and the news about Shi Xiang immediately popped out. He opened the news, spent a while reading it, and then said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, Im afraid you dont need to talk to Fanyu anymore. Not long after we got on the ne, Fanyu announced on Weibo that Shi Xiang is no longer the spokesman of their new game, and that theyll rescind the contract with him unterally. The reason is that he was arrogant andte every day during the dubbing work. Because of him, the other dubbers had to work for a longer time.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. What happened? Did the owner of Fanyu realize that I care about Luosang? Is that the reason why they terminated the contract immediately?


    Lu Kang felt a little awkward about how his boss gave himself the credit. An Lan joined the conversation. I dont think its possible. Mr. Nian, you have no idea how many fans Shi Xiang has. He has both female and male fans, and some of his female fans are rather crazy. Also, its the first time that he has endorsed a game. I guess Fanyu has put quite a lot of effort into it. They couldnt possibly terminate the contract with Shi Xiang without even giving you a phone call. Now, almost everyone in show business wants to work with him. I heard that someone even offered a hundred million for him to y a part in a film.


    Nian Junting sneered scornfully. They offered a hundred million to a singer to y a part in a film? Are they out of their minds? Dont they need any acting skills?


    Lu Kang sighed. Hes popr and handsome, and hes young. He has countless fans. Miss An is right. What Fanyu did was very risky. Now they have terminated their deal with Shi Xiang, so whos gonna be their new spokesperson? Currently, only a few stars canpete with him. Not to mention the fact that Shi Xiang has already finished the advertising and the final makeup photo. By recing him, Fanyu is going to take a serious loss. I thought that even if you called them yourself, wed have toe up with some ideas to make them terminate their cooperation with Shi Xiang.

 Chapter 685. How Did Fanyu Break Ties with Shi Xiang Before He Had Even Interfered?

    Chapter 685. How Did Fanyu Break Ties with Shi Xiang Before He Had Even Interfered?


    An Lan looked at the phone and said, Shi Xiang has released a statement as well. Hes saying that the Young Master of Fanyu Group and his friend walked in during one of his recording sessions and made a scene. Thepany has already found a Hollywood star to rece him, and thats why they decided to break the contract with him.


    Lu Kang remarked, The news has invited a high amount of public attention.


    An Lanughed. Doesnt look so simple.


    Find out what happened, exactly, Nian Junting ordered Lu Kang. Something was not right. How did Fanyu break ties with Shi Xiang before he had even interfered?


    Luosang saw the news on the train as well. She was stunned. She had been so angry in the morning, and she had almost blurted things online while cursing Shi Xiang in her head. She wished that people would see him for what he was. She didnt expect him to be involved in such a conflict momentster.


    She was shocked that Fanyu was the first one who published the defaming statement. They had treasured him like a gem while she was there. What exactly had happened when she was gone? Why did Fanyu terminate his contract like that? It was miraculous.


    She wasnt nave enough to believe that they did it for her. Seemed like the public had opinions about both parties now. Shi Xiangs fans and keyboard warriors werepletely on his side, and some parts of the public were on his side, too.


    Laowang on the intemented, They have already produced evidence that Shi Xiang was alwayste for his sessions. You could let things slide if he was onlyte once, but its preposterous that he goes into workte every day, more than an hour, too! He is a newbie at voice acting, and its reasonable that he would have to take things slowly at the beginning, but hes showing an improper attitude beingte and all. How can he implicate his other colleagues like that? How inconsiderate!


    Radish_eater said, Since thepany paid so much for him to be the spokesperson, he should have cooperated with them as best as he could. I liked some of Shi Xiangs new songs, but I guess hes just one of those sell-out artistes. I find him repulsive, to be honest. You should be humble and stay grounded, stop being so arrogant. There are plenty of other popr singers other than him. Look at how hardworking they are.


    The_frogprincemented, I support Shi Xiang unconditionally. Its obvious that thepany ditched him after finding a Hollywood star to rece him. Shameless.


    Luosang was reading all the threads on her way back. She was extremely curious and made a call to another voice actor, Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng said, Im not sure what happened, either. I saw the Young Master of Fanyu barge into the studio when I was recording. They made quite a scene, but I didnt leave my booth. I didnt want to invite trouble for myself. I heard they were switching him out after that.


    Luosang made sense of things now. She nned to thank the Young Master of Fanyu the next time she met him. No matter which side had the favor of the publics opinion, there was no doubt that Shi Xiang was in trouble now.


    Lu Kang heard about what had happened in the evening and reported back to Nian Junting immediately. I think this thing has got to do with that mysterious friend of the Young Master of Fanyu. I heard he bumped into Xu Luosang coincidentally at thepany, and he had a big reaction afterward. When he saw that she was bullied, he decided to take action. I heard he has quite a remarkable background, too. He pulled in a Hollywood A-lister to rece Shi Xiang.


    He wanted to punch Lu Kang after hearing about the chain of events. Are you sure you didnt make this up?


    Absolutely! Lu Kang swore. This was what I heard from the people inside. Im telling you everything they told me.

 Chapter 686. She Desperately Wanted to Lean on His Chest

    Chapter 686. She Desperately Wanted to Lean on His Chest


    Nian Junting crossed his arms. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his mouth was turned down in a big frown. He had never expected his woman to be targeted by some other man when she left the city to do a dubbing job. That mysterious man seemed to be rather powerful. He had easily found an A-list male Hollywood star to make the best of the situation, and Fanyu even offended Shi Xiang for him. Who on earth was he? It seemed that he was not at the same level as Yi Jingxi and Chi Shengxu. Do you know who that person is?


    Ive asked around, but no one from Fanyu knows. The people who have seen him all described him as a very cold, handsome man with sharp eyes Lu Kang received Nian Juntings poisonous arrow-like re before he could finish.


    Did I ask you to describe him? Nian Junting asked coldly.


    My bad. Lu Kang pped his own mouth.


    Nian Junting said in a deep voice, Contact Fanyu, ask them to rece Luosang. We cant let her go back to Beijing, in case she runs into that person.


    Miss Xu will get angry if she knows, wont she? said Lu Kang. Besides, didnt you say that you wouldnt intervene in her work?


    Nian Junting crossed his arms before his chest and said with a vignt look in his eyes, For my lifelong happiness, I have no choice but to do it. He had to destroy every man who might go after his woman before they made a move.


    Four oclock in the morning, in the train station.


    The train was behind schedule but had finally arrived at the station. The train was supposed to arrive at Xia City Station at one oclock, but it stopped on the way for all sorts of reasons and was a whole three hourste. Luosang sighed. Thankfully, Nian Junting had arranged a sleeping berth for her, or she would have been exhausted. She really underestimated how far behind schedule a train could be.


    When she dragged her suitcase out of the station, arge group of people surrounded her, holding boards with station names, yelling about the prices. Luosang didnt dare to take that kind of ride. She ignored those people, lowered her head, and walked straight forward.


    Some people followed her for a couple of meters and then gave up, but a man kept following closely behind her, saying, Pretty girl, where are you going? Ill give you a ride. Its cheap. Ill give you a discount.


    Ive told you that someone ising to pick me up. Luosang walked faster.


    Theres no one. Im telling you, you cant get a taxi in this ce. That man wouldnt give up.


    Luosang ignored him, but walked faster. Suddenly, she bumped into the person in front of her. She raised her head in pain. Under the light of the moon and stars, Nian Junting stood in front of her with a big frown. His body was straight and sturdy like a tree.


    She gave a start, and then her uneasy heart was suddenlyforted. That close to him, she sensed the familiar scent from his chest. Tiredness suddenly overwhelmed her. She so desperately wanted to lean on his chest.


    Nian Junting didnt look at her but coldly stared at the man and said, Are you gonna force her into your car? Or are you nning to do something else?


    The man was frightened by the strong, tall Nian Junting. He took a few steps backward, then hurriedly forced his face into a smile, saying, Brother, is she your girlfriend? Im sorry, I thought no one was here to pick her up. I just wanted to give her a ride and earn some money. After all, its pretty unsafe for a girl to be alone sote at night.


    Theyd be safer if there were fewer people like you, said Nian Junting in a cold voice. Go away, now.


    That man took a deep, angry breath. He wanted to fight Nian Junting, but sensing the vibe from him, he flinched, turned, and left grumpily.


    Luosang sighed in relief and said in a sincere voice, Thank you.


    Nian Juntings face was still tightened into a serious expression. I dont even know what to say to you. I told you to take the high-speed train or the ne, yet you insisted on saving that tiny sum of money. Do you know what kind of danger a single woman might have to face at the train station sote at night? And youre so gorgeously dressed. Do you know how to keep a low profile?

 Chapter 687. They Knew that a Kiss Wasnt Enough to Satisfy Them

    Chapter 687. They Knew that a Kiss Wasn''t Enough to Satisfy Them


    Luosang lowered her head without saying a word. Her train had been dyed, and bumping into that man had been a bummer, too. She was not in a great mood. Nian Junting lowered his gaze to look at her. Hershes were fluttering, and they tugged at his heartstrings. He was aplete fool in love. He wanted to hold her close in his arms and kiss her with passion.


    She was really asking for a scolding. She didnt know how to take care of herself at all, no sense of safety awareness. Come along. Nian Junting was as proud as a peacock, taking brisk strides forward.


    Luosang was stunned and dragged her suitcase to catch up. Arent you going to help me with my luggage?


    Nian Junting looked coldly at her. Arent you very strong? Do you still need help from me?


    Luosang followed behind him with annoyance. Before long, he stopped in front of a ck Volkswagen. The car model looked like a Passat. He had never driven such a cheap car before.


    This car


    No one must find out about our little arrangement. I had to sneak out with this cheap car by myself. Nian Junting took her luggage from her hands and threw it into the backseat. He quickly climbed into the driver seat afterwards.


    Luosang looked around them to make sure there was no one watching them before she got into the car. Something was not right. This isnt a Passat, is it?


    Who said that it was? This is a luxury ss Phaeton. Nian Junting continued, I switched out the namete to keep a low profile.


    Luosang was speechless. He called a luxury Phaeton a cheap car. Had he considered her feelings at all, someone who couldnt even afford a car?


    After we have a baby, you can have this car, Nian Junting grinned.


    Great, now he was gifting her the cheap car.


    If you dont want it, I can get you a Passat instead. Nian Junting chuckled in amusement.


    Luosang red at him. Her eyes were bright and clear. It seemed as if she was ying coy with him. Nian Junting suddenly had the urge to kiss her pink and juicy lips passionately. Without thinking much, he actually did it.


    He leaned over and Luosang noticed it. Her eyshes were fluttering now. What are you doing kissing me? Shouldnt you be kissing An Lan instead? Isnt she your moon and your stars?


    Nian Junting stopped midway as he leaned in, his eyes were dark and his voice hoarse, Ive asked Doctor Han, and he thinks that there might be a chance of conception even during your safe period. I think we should treasure every encounter. He nted his kiss domineeringly before she could say anything.


    The two of them kissed with fervor as if they hadnt kissed each other in ages. He was originally going in for a peck, but now, he hadpletely lost control. He couldnt help but ravish her lips with his own. Luosangs lips were sore from the kiss, but every time she tried to open her mouth to protest, his tongue would find its way into her mouth to silence her.


    She hadnt been kissed by him like this in so long. Luosangs mind was a blur. She had missed this, badly. She quickly forgot about Jiang Qifei and her reasons, as well. It was just the two of them now, and they both wanted it tost as long as possible. All it took was a spark to light this fire.


    Nian Juntings hands were roving her body now, and Luosang was panting urgently. They knew that a kiss wasnt enough to satisfy them.

 Chapter 688. What Happened Last Night Wasnt a Dream

    Chapter 688. What Happened Last Night Wasn''t a Dream


    You want it. Nian Junting touched her aroused secret garden and opened his mouth slightly. His voice had turned dry, and fire burned in his eyes. Seeing what was on the tips of his fingers, Luosangs face reddened immediately. The rosy color on her cheeks was so breathtakingly beautiful, even in the darkness. She opened and closed her mouth shyly, but could not say one word.


    Nian Junting violently pulled his own cor. He felt that if he kept holding it off like this, hed be sick again. However, he couldnt do it with her right there, as there were quite a few policemen on duty near the train station. Lets go to the hotel. I can tell you for sure that we might be able to make a baby tonight. Nian Junting started the car right away.


    Luosang opened her mouth. She wanted to say no, but her body longed for him as well. As he drove the car out of the station, the parking timer reminded Nian Junting that he had parked at the station for four hours. Luosang was shocked. You waited at the station for four hours? she asked.


    Nian Junting wanted to exin, but this time, he realized that he couldnt find any appropriate reason, so in anger, he said, Of course. I came here at twelve, because I dont want anything bad to happen to the woman whos gonna bear me a child. The train was supposed to arrive at one, yet I waited until four.


    Luosangs heart immediately turned soft. She had been hesitant, but now, she had made up her mind. Whether Jiang Qifei would find out or not, she wanted to be with him tonight.


    Nian Junting took ten minutes to find a five-star hotel nearby, booked a suite, and then brought Luosang upstairs. It waste at night. No one else was using the elevator. Nian Junting pressed Lusoang against the wall and started kissing her. Luosang was shy, but as no one else was there, she put her arms around his waist.


    When they walked out of the elevator, Nian Junting had his arm around her. On their way to their room, Nian Junting stopped a few times to kiss her. They could have quickly found the room, but in the end, they took a couple of minutes to find it.


    When the door opened, Luosang felt a shadow descending on her, and then her entire body was pressed into Nian Juntngs chest. She didnt even get a chance to see the room clearly. In the private room, neither of them tried to squelch their desire. They both wanted it so badly, they merged into one before even reaching the bed.


    Luosang put her arms around Nian Juntings neck and raised her head to wee his passionate kisses. Nian Junting was more aggressive than ever. Luosang was also more excited than usual. The first time soon ended, but before long, Nian Junting started the second time with her on the bed. This time, itsted a long time. The quilt was thrown to the floor, and half of the sheet slid off the bed.


    When it ended, Luosang was exhausted. However, when Nian Junting carried her into the bathroom to take a shower, they did it again in there. When he carried her out, the sky was already turning bright in the east. Luosangid on his chest, deeply satisfied. It was the first time that she had slept so well since they had broken up.


    Nian Junting felt the same. These days, he was trying to punish her, but surprisingly, he gained something else. Normally, his woman never had sex with him so excitedly. Also, they had done it three times. That was a new record. His woman seemed to have developed some strength after breaking up with him. Nian Junting held Luosang and fell asleep with satisfaction.


    He didnt know how long he slept, but when he woke up, he was alone on the bed. He sat up abruptly and looked around the room. Luosang had already left. The clothes that she had thrown on the floor were gone. He only found a few long hairs of hers in the bathroom to prove that what happenedst night wasnt a dream.

 Chapter 689. Arent You a Professional Surrogate Mother?

    Chapter 689. Aren''t You a Professional Surrogate Mother?


    So she ran after using him? Nian Junting looked at his phone. It was already noon. He quickly dialed Luosangs number.


    Is something the matter? Luosangs voice was calm and collected.


    Nian Junting was furious. She wasnt like this in the morning. She was hugging him, wrapped around him like a vine. Either that or she was sitting on hisp, moaning his name and kissing him back fervently. Damn, he felt a heat building in his pelvis just thinking about it.


    What do you think is the matter? Nian Junting said grumpily. Xu Luosang, are you ignoring me after our affairst night?


    Luosang sounded surprised over the phone. Im just a surrogate mother. What matters do we have with each other apart from our affair? Im not your wife, after all.


    You Nian Junting was speechless. He only managed to sputter after a long while, You didnt look like you were just a surrogatest night the way you acted. Arent you a professional surrogate mother?


    Luosang was enraged listening to him, but she said calmly, Well, my employer has good technique.


    Nian Junting was stunned. He didnt expect her to say that. His ego was suddenly boosted. She had neverplimented him in bed before. He was pleased with this sudden appreciation of his manhood.


    Thats right, seems like she got really thirsty after being deprived for so long. The more you deprive someone, the more they want it, Nian Junting thought. He had spoiled her in the past. He had always made himself so avable and essible. He had fed her too well. She didnt know thirst and hunger anymore.


    I have more toe. Do you want to try it? Nian Junting grinned. he sounded seductive over the phone.


    Luosang blushed before saying, Well, thanks. Why dont you go look for your moon lover instead?


    Nian Junting replied immediately, Dont you know, the moon is only good for admiring from down below? No one ravishes the moon. People enjoy the can flowers around them.


    So, she was the can flower. What the f*ck? She didnt know how to carry on the banter, so she said sarcastically, Alright since you can find can flowers all around, you can go look for other flowers instead. She hung up after that.


    Nian Junting was stunned as he stared at his phone, line disconnected. What a petty woman! What was wrong withparing her to a can flower? You could make can oil with them, and he ate it every day. He didnt like any other cooking oils at all.


    Luosang had just gotten home. She put down her phone and rushed into the shower. They really went hardst night. His seed was leaking out the whole cab ride home. She was abashed. It was still flowing in the shower. Although her chance of pregnancy was low during her safe period, she still hoped for the best.


    After she was done, she washed all the clothes. Later in the afternoon, Yan Su was back home, and she looked worried. Sang, didnt you say you wereing backst night? Why are you only back in the afternoon now?


    Luosang recalled her passionate night from before and blushed. She quickly started drying her hair to hide her embarrassment. The train was severely dyed. Why do you look so anxious? Are you going to ask about Shi Xiang?


    Yeah. Yan Su looked anxious. Fanyu suddenly released a statement that they were going to terminate their contract with Shi Xiang. They have been embroiled in the controversy for the whole day. A lot ofizens are using him of poor work ethic and attitude. Of course, there areizens on his side, too, but I just think the whole situation is odd. You were swapped out yesterday and now Shi Xiang

 Chapter 690. Are You Trying to Say that He Doesnt Care About Me Anymore?

    Chapter 690. Are You Trying to Say that He Doesn''t Care About Me Anymore?


    Luosang looked at Yan Su while stroking her hair.


    Does it have something to do with whatever happened between you two? asked Yan Su.


    Seeing the concerned and anxious look on Yan Sus face, Luosang felt pity for her, and also felt a little sad. Seriously, Yan Su had been so worried about Shi Xiang all this time. If anything happened to Shi Xiang, she would be more worried for him than she would ever be for herself.


    Abruptly, Luosang asked with aplicated look, Su, I want to ask you a question. Do you trust me?


    Yan Su paused briefly and had a bad feeling rising from her heart. But still, she nodded and said, Luo, I trust you. Weve only known each other for around a year, but we know each others pasts better than anyone else. I clearly know what kind of person you are.


    Luosang sighed and nodded.


    Then, Yan Su first spoke out with her guess, Was there a conflict between you and Shi Xiang? Was it because he was alwayste for work and made you workte with him


    Su, Ive met all sorts of unprofessional actors and actresses at work, Luosang interrupted her and continued, Su, I hope you can prepare yourself for what Im about to tell you.


    Yan Su licked her lips which werent really dry. She was a pretty calm person, but when it came to Shi Xiang, she became nervous even before anything started.


    Luosang dropped the towel, frowned, and said, Su, I dont know how deeply you and Shi Xiang loved each other back in high school. You even gave up on your own family for him and came to a strange ce to study and work alone, so I guess you must love him so, so deeply. Many couples in a long-distance rtionship break up in a year or two, but youve been maintaining your rtionship for nearly four years. Havent you wondered if theres something wrong during the past four years?


    Yan Su blinked. She tried to ignore the uneasy feeling in her heart while stuttering, What what is wrong?


    Ive asked Ji Nuanyi about it. Earlier, she worked with a Korean male star. They were in the crew together every day. She said that the agency was indeed very strict with him, but it wasnt so bad that he could only make a personal phone call every four or even five days, and that he always needed to be extra careful. Besides, no matter how busy he was, he always had a couple of hours of sleeping time a day, right? Did hispany even hire people to watch him while he was sleeping?


    Yan Sus delicate face started turning pale. Sangsang, are you trying to say that he doesnt care about me anymore? If he has fallen in love with someone else, if he doesnt love me anymore, he could have told me about it. Im not someone whod expose his scandals after breaking up.


    Su, perhaps he still loves you. After all, youve done so much for him, so he made you a promise. He told you that as long as you be a star, you two can be together openly. He told you that hes still young, but how can you be sure that he will really keep his word when he reaches the top and bes a real superstar? Luosang sounded a little emotional. She wasnt ming Yan Su for being silly. She had been silly once, too. She simply disliked Shi Xiang.


    Yan Su opened her mouth, paused briefly, and then asked in a dry voice, Sangsang, did something happen when you were in Beijing?


    Yes, Luosang nodded. Because he stood you up, I went to talk to him. I asked him to treat you well, but he got angry. He said that Im mad at him because he refused to help me when I waspeting against the other dubbers for roles in the game. He thought I was bearing grudges for that. I felt really annoyed. But still, it wasnt a big thing. He doesnt know me, after all. However, his assistant told the director that I tried to seduce him, so the director immediately switched my schedule with Zhou Wankes and scolded me.

 Chapter 691. You Mean to Say that Shi Xiang Found Himself a Rich Mans Daughter?

    Chapter 691. You Mean to Say that Shi Xiang Found Himself a Rich Man''s Daughter?


    Yan Sus heart sank. She was devastated and disappointed. She was embarrassed, too. He was her boyfriend. He was the one who questioned her good friends character. His assistant was the one who hurt her good friend. She would never believe that Luosang would try to seduce Shi Xiang. Luosang had Nian Junting, after all, a good man who loved her to no end. How could His assistant, did he consider your reputation in the industry at all?


    Yeah, his assistant was really cocky. He often conversed with Shi Xiang in Korean and told him not to bother with low-grade people like us. They thought I didnt understand Korean, of course. Luosang scoffed. They dont know that I know Korean, Japanese, English, and even French.


    Yan Su felt miserable listening to her. She knew that Luosang wasnt someone who would make a mountain out of a molehill. There must have been several unpleasant encounters for her to get so disgusted.


    Luosang sighed when she saw the upset look in Yan Sus eyes. These are small things. I wouldnt have told you if not for other things. I went to look for Shi Xiang after that, and he told me that he didnt know about what his assistant did. His assistant acted on his own ord, and he would help me clear things up. I lied to him, saying that I would tell you about what happened, and he said that I was trying to sow discord between the two of you. He threatened me, saying that he would ruin my career if I said a word.


    Yan Su wanted to dig a hole for herself. She oftenplimented Shi Xiang in front of her. She hadnt expected him to act so repulsively in front of her good friend. She stuttered after a long while, He didnt use to He wasnt like this. Maybe he got famous and is acting a little overboard.


    Well, it would have been fine if he was just acting a little arrogant. No one can really preserve the entirety of themselves after receiving such adoration and fame, after all, but it would be scary if he became unrecognizable.


    Luosang continued, When I left, I overheard his assistant talking to him in Korean again. He thought that Shi Xiang fancied me, and Shi Xiang told him that there are women like me all over the streets. He sounded very nasty, but that wasnt all. His assistant said that Young Mistress wouldnt be pleased if she knew about this and cautioned him to treasure Young Mistress. Shi Xiang only chuckled when he heard that, and he didnt deny anything.


    Young Mistress? Yan Sus mind was a nk. Her eyes were soulless. She looked like a little girl who had just lost her favorite doll.


    Yeah, Young Mistress. Luosang nodded. She hated seeing Yan Su hurt like this. Su, I understand your pain. I would imagine its the same kind as when Yi Jingxi brought Zhong Yi to me. I was like you, and I thought that my world had copsed. I only told you this because I didnt want you to be clueless in love. Think about it. Someone that his assistant calls Young Mistress, she shoulde from an important family. She might even be the daughter of someone important in hispany.


    Yan Su asked in a daze, You mean to say that Shi Xiang found himself a rich mans daughter?


    Luosang frowned. I cant be sure, but a normal man would deny things when someone says something like that. He should have rified and denied rtions with this Young Mistress, but he didnt say a word about it. He just smiled. That could either mean that he was just ying around with her or there was really something going on between them.


    Yan Su was taking in short gasps of air. It pained Luosang to see her pale small face. She knew these things, but she needed Luosang to break them down for her bit by bit before she could confront the reality of things.

 Chapter 692. Yan Su Felt Especially Sorry for Luosang

    Chapter 692. Yan Su Felt Especially Sorry for Luosang


    Sangsang Yan Su was stunned for a short while, then she felt as if someone was banging her heart against the floor. Sangsang, I dont understand Shi Xiang Why did he be like that? That is not the person I know. He was brave, honest, sunny. He told me that no matter what he turned into or how high he reached, hed always love me. He said that in the future, hed stand at the peak of his life and announce to the world that I am his girlfriend


    Su, it might not be exactly like what I said. Perhaps I misunderstood. Yan Su was panicking, so Luosang tried tofort her. There are some things I just wanted you to know. You have to understand that you shouldnt pin all your hopes on that person, and you shouldnt make him your sole goal. You have already spent your youth for him, so I dont want you to waste all your good years on him. Even if hes only flirting with another woman, to me itd be intolerable. If he flirts with other women before getting married, what will he do after he gets married? So, dont hold your breath waiting for him.


    But, I have already pinned all my hopes on him. Yan Su was now overwhelmed by the confused, helpless feeling. She wanted to cry. My parents didnt want me to be with him and be a singer. But for him, I came here without hesitation. When I left home, I swore to my parents that Id prove it to them. I said that Shi Xiang would marry me, and that I wouldnte home until that day. I thought about marrying him and what our marriage would be like Her eyes reddened and filled with tears as she was talking.


    Luosang held her hands. Her hands were even shaking. In fact, she wanted very much to say to Yan Su that from the time Shi Xiang went to Korea alone and started his career sessfully to the present, when his career was like the sun in broad daylight, he easily stood out from the fiercepetition. Was he really capable and lucky? Or, had someone powerful been supporting him? Yan Su was smart. She could have thought of that, but she wasnt willing to think about the ugly side of that person.


    Su, I can only tell you that you have the right to choose. Luosang sighed. You can turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing happened. After all, hes not breaking up with you. You can also break things off with him. That way, youll no longer live for him. Youll live a life for yourself. Theres another way, which is to let things stay where they are. No matter which way you choose, Ill respect you. Such a long rtionship cant end so easily, after all.


    In a rtionship, everyone had their own reasons to make choices. Luosang wanted Yan Su to make the decision by herself, even though she really didnt like Shi Xiang. To be honest, she felt that Shi Xiang wasnt even a decent person.


    Yan Su stayed silent for quite a while. Luosang was right. Such a long rtionship couldnt end so easily. She just didnt know where to start. She felt really sorry for Luosang. Earlier, she had asked Shi Xiang to help Luosang, but he refused. Later on, he used Luosang of bearing a grudge. Now, he had even caused a problem with Luosangs work. That had already sowed discord between her and Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang didnt respect her friend.


    Unlike him, Nian Junting introduced her to a musicpany and helped her with her career because she was Luosangs friend. Even though he did that to get revenge on Ye Chuen, he hadnt really needed to go that far. He did it simply because she was Luosangs friend.

 Chapter 693. Shi Xiang, When Did You Become Like This?

    Chapter 693. Shi Xiang, When Did You Be Like This?


    Not to mention there was a possibility that Shi Xiang had a fling with another woman The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt. Although Luosang hadnt said some things, she knew them deep down in her heart. Shi Xiang might not just be flirting with that Young Mistress; he might have even used her for his own purposes.


    Yeah, every time he called her, he acted so secretively. Was he really that scared of hispany? Maybe someone was with him. She had suspected it before, but she never allowed herself to project her suspicions further. She didnt think her high school sweetheart would do something so nasty.


    Luoasng went into the kitchen to cook, leaving Yan Su alone on the sofa. When she emerged from the kitchen with food, Yan Su was already gone. She sighed.


    Yan Su was calling Shi Xiang by the roadside. The user was unavable. She walked around for a long time, and she kept dialing his number. He didnt pick up her phone calls. Yan Sus heart was stone-cold by the end of it. That was her boyfriend, uncontactable when she needed to hear him the most.


    What was he doing then? Was he with another woman? Yan Su didnt know what to do with herself. She thought of ending things between them, but the thought cut deep in her heart, physically hurting her. She felt sick thinking about forgetting things and holding onto the rtionship as well.


    She got a call back from him three dayster at eleven oclock at night. When she saw her phone buzz with his caller ID, she was still in a daze. She had been waiting every minute of her life. She was always checking her phone, even in ss, always distracted. Every day she waited, the colder her heart became.


    She picked up the call, and Shi Xiang sounded apologetic over the line. Su, Im sorry. Things have been rough with Fanyu recently, and thepany has been scrambling to fix things. Ive been swamped. Sorry to return your call sote.


    Yan Su couldnt help but ask, Its quite a big issue, but are you really that busy that you cant even return a call? I waited for three days before I heard anything from you. You could have sent me a text, at least. Dont you have a minute to yourself?


    Su, why are you being so demanding today? Weve always managed thus far. Shi Xiang was put off.


    Yan Su bit her lip. She was trying to stop herself from crying. Yeah, weve always managed thus far. Ive never thought much about it.


    Shi Xiang was silent for a while before he suddenly asked, Did Xu Luosang say something to you?


    What could she say? Yan Su asked sarcastically.


    I dont know what she said to you, but I dont think she would have said anything good. Su, do you trust me or her?


    Yan Su fell silent and replied, Shi Xiang, Sang is my good friend. I know for a fact that she was around when I was lonely, not you. She was the one who encouraged me when things got hard


    You dont trust me, then. Shi Xiang sounded disappointed and angry. Did you know that my image has gone to ruins because of her? My image that I worked so hard on to be able toe back to China. I have all these controversies surrounding me now. People are criticizing me for having a poor work ethic.


    Yan Su was stunned. Shi Xiang, they had evidence that you werete to your recordings. I waited for you there before. You were more than an hourte


    I was runningte because of other events on my schedule. I didnt do it on purpose. Who isntte nowadays, anyway? Shi Xiang defended himself angrily.


    Yeah, you can afford to bete every day now that you are popr. How can you push the me to someone else without reflecting on yourself? Yan Su felt that he sounded unfamiliar. Shi Xiang, when did you be like this?

 Chapter 694. Lets Break Up

    Chapter 694. Let''s Break Up


    Im always like this, hearing her words, Shi Xiang was a little angry, because she actually chose to side with Xu Luosang. Besides, I cant do whatever I want sometimes. I waste because thepany didnt arrange the schedule well or because of some unexpected situations. How can that be my fault?


    No matter why you werete, you dont seem sorry at all. On the contrary, youre ming others. Yan Su felt a little ufortable. Shi Xiang, I sometimes attend events and work with stars, too. Last year, I took part in the New Years G at a TV station. I saw Bai Chengze there. Hes a very well respected singer who has won the Golden Melody Award a couple of times. He wasnt like you. He even got there an hour early to coordinate better with the TV station and everyone else.


    How can youpare me with him? Shi Xiang said without thinking, He used to be popr, but hes only a has-been star now. He doesnt have much work to do, so starting to work earlier orter makes no difference to him. Im not like him. Themercial value of every minute that I have is way higher than his.


    Yan Su couldnt believe it. Luosangs words made her have doubts, and Shi Xiangs words allowed her to see him as a whole new person. She didnt realize it before. Was it because the conversations that they had before were too short? It might also be because they never talked about these kinds of things. Her Shi Xiang had changed. Hed be so snobbish.


    Shi Xiang, have you forgotten about your original intention? You said that you only wanted others to hear you sing. Why do you think so much of money now? You already have a lot of money


    Su, I can only say that you dont know me well enough, or maybe you dont care about money because your family is rich. Your parents didnt want us to be together because my family wasnt as rich as yours, isnt that right? Shi Xu said in a deep voice, emphasizing thest three words.


    So for money and fame, you hooked up with that so-called Young Mistress? Yan Su asked.


    Shi Xu stayed silent for a couple of seconds and then responded in a deep and cold voice, What do you mean?


    Shi Xiang, Sangsang speaks manynguages. Im afraid you dont know that yet. She has passed Korean Test Band 6, so she might speak better Korean than you. About those words that your assistant said and those small tricks that you guys yed, she knew it all. She just didnt point it out. Yan Su chuckled with an extra soft and gentle voice. However, tears were gushing out of her eye sockets, and she couldnt stop it.


    For a moment, Shi Xiangs brain was nk. He was pretty shocked to learn that Luosang understood Korean, but soon, he calmed down and said, I didnt think that shed even make up ridiculous lies like that about me. Its because I caused thepany to change her schedule. That was my assistants mistake. I promised her that Id rify it for her, but she pulled strings, found an unknown boy, and had me reced. I was disgraced because of her. I didnt me her for that, but shes now trying to frame me.


    Yan Su couldnt even bear listening to him. Enough. Shi Xiang, that person youre talking about is my friend. Shes a friend whos been helping your girlfriend the whole time. I share an apartment with Sangsang. Dont I know what kind of person she is? I never told you that I signed the contract with the musicpany and got good resources for my career because Sangsang found someone to help me. Im not silly enough to doubt a person who has helped me. What have you ever done for me? Its been so many years, how have you ever helped me? I dont know if theres anything happening between you and another woman or not, but what you just said makes me feel like were no longer two people from the same world. Based on your current value, I think you might really hook up with another woman. Lets break up. If theres a misunderstanding, we can resolve it. But theres a problem with your moral quality. I think were no longer good matches for each other.

 Chapter 695. Nian Xi Doesnt Want to Go Out Drinking with Me Again

    Chapter 695. Nian Xi Doesn''t Want to Go Out Drinking with Me Again


    Shi Xiang was shaking from anger. You think my character is wed? Yan Su, have you been brainwashed by her? Weve been together for so many years, how can you break up with me over an outsider?


    Sang was never an outsider to me. Shes also not the only reason why Im breaking up with you. Yan Su was trying her best to hold back her tears. Shi Xiang, as your ex-girlfriend, I sincerely wish you the best on your career. I hope youll be able to rectify your mistakes and improve to be a better person. You never know what will happen. Itll be best for you if you stay down to earth and do the right things. I cant hold onto this rtionship anymore. I gave you the best years of my youth, but I dont want to give you my remaining years in the future. Goodbye.


    She hung up immediately after. She was the one who hung up first this time. He was always the one who had to go first. She craved hearing more of his voice, his breathing.


    She didnt need to work hard for anyone anymore. What was she going to do with herself now? Who was she working towards being a singer for? Who did she leave her family for? She had nothing to look towards. Yan Su sat on her bed like a fool.


    The next day, Luosang woke up to see Yan Su cooking noodles in the kitchen. She felt warmed by her gesture. Su, you are so great. I get free food when Im with you. When I stayed with Nian Junting, I had to cook for that man like a ve.


    Luosang suddenly noticed her red-rimmed eyes, and she was taken aback. What what happened? She had never seen Yan Su like that before.


    Yan Su lowered her head quickly and scooped the noodles into a bowl. I broke up with Shi Xiang.


    Luosang was shocked. She felt bad as she looked at Yan Su. Im sorry, if its because of what I said


    No, I just realized when I was talking to him that we dont share the same values anymore. Yan Su shook her head sadly. Her voice turned hoarse. He has changed.


    Luosang nodded. She trusted Yan Sus taste. Shi Xiang must have been a good person in the past. He was just not the same as before after entering the entertainment industry.


    I realized that we have different upbringings, and we wouldnt be happy, even if we forced ourselves to stay together. We havent really fought til now because we never lived together. Im sure we would have our fair share of conflict in the future if we married.


    Thats true. Luosang sighed. Just like how I almost broke up with Nian Junting on several asions.


    Yan Su sighed as well. Im too embarrassed to go back to my parents now, and the new semester is starting. I guess I have to see this to the end. Im going to get a job and earn money, see where life takes me, I guess.


    Yeah, thats the attitude. Dont let the opportunities go to waste. You might be even more popr than Shi Xiang in the future. He mighte crawling back to you. By then, you could just cast him a side nce and brush him off. How dare he try to pursue you when hes not that famous yet. Luosang burst out intoughter.


    Yan Su burst outughing as well, forgetting her sorrows momentarily. Im pretty excited now that youve painted such a beautiful picture.


    Wait til you be famous. Luosang patted her shoulders.


    Yeah, Im still far from him. Yan Su sighed and decided to pick herself up. Forget it. Lets eat now. I need the strength to fight, make him regret his decisions.


    Yeah, if you still have any grievances or you need someone to drink with you, Im always here. Be warned, Im not the good kind of drunk.


    Yan Su was stunned. How bad?


    I dont know. Ever since I drank that one time, Nian Xi doesnt want to go out drinking with me again. Luosang shrugged.


    She wouldnt be asking Luosang to apany her, then. Shed save them both the embarrassment.

 Chapter 696. Are You Pregnant?

    Chapter 696. Are You Pregnant?


    Yan Su put the noodles into the bowls and then gave therge bowl to Luosang. Luosang finished the noodles and even drank the broth. After that, she sighed. Why am I still not full?


    Yan Su even burped when hearing that. Half a bowl of noodles had already made her feel stuffed. Luosang had a full bowl of noodles but still felt like it was not enough. Yan Su really admired her for her great appetite. You can have some of mine. Im already very full, anyway.


    Thank you. Luosang pushed her bowl forward. Yan Su gave Luosang almost all the noodles in her bowl and then sat there, watching Luosang eating happily. She had known Luosang was a good eater since a long time ago. Luosang was always slim, added with the fact that she had a lot to do every day, she didnt gain weight easily. Yan Su was very jealous of her. Unlike Luosang, she could gain weight very easily.


    Um Have you realized that your recent appetite is better than usual? Yan Su couldnt help but ask.


    No. Luosang paused slightly.


    Before, such arge bowl of noodles that I made would be enough for you, said Yan Su. Andtely, I always find you eating snacks at night. Every time we ate in the cafeteria, you had more rice than thest time.


    Luosang blinked and picked up the bowl to drink the broth.


    Are you pregnant? Yan Su asked.


    Luosang spit out the broth in her mouth, saying, Dont scare me.


    Whats to be scared of? Havent you always wanted to have Mr. Nians baby? Yan Su sighed. If Sangsang got pregnant, she could finally stop being a spy. Being a spy felt pretty awful.


    Luosang was a little confused. She did want to get pregnant, but it could be scary when it happened suddenly. No way, she said.


    Why not? Youre so passionate. You can do it anywhere. I doubt you have condoms in your pockets at all times, said Yan Su mercilessly.


    Luosang raised the bowl to cover her face and coughed slightly. Yes, they had done it just a couple of days ago. She had skipped a period. Did that have something to do with pregnancy? Realizing that possibility, Luosang started to feel uneasy. She wanted to buy a pregnancy test right away and find out if she was pregnant or not.


    After breakfast, she passed by a hospital. She wanted to go in and buy a pregnancy test, but she noticed that someone was following her stealthily, so she didnt do it. She really admired Jiang Qifei now. To confirm if she had really broken up with Nian Junting or not, Jiang Qifei even hired people to stalk her. Jiang Qifei seemed to have way too much free time. Well, she didnt need to work, so Luosang assumed that she had lots of free time.


    She couldnt ask Yan Su to buy a pregnancy test for her, as it could still make Jiang Qifei suspect her. After a slight hesitation, she called Jiang Qifei and said, I want to remind you that Ive been broken up with Nian Junting for nearly a month. Prepare that evidence you mentioned. Dont swallow your words when the timees.


    Jiang Qifeis silvery chuckles could be heard. Xu Luosang, to be honest, I dont believe you. Nian Junting went to Beijing for a business trip a couple of days ago, and you were in Beijing, too. Thats kind of a coincidence, isnt it?


    I went to Beijing for work. Luosang was a little worried, as she didnt know if Jiang Qifei had hired people to stalk her in Beijing. We never saw each other. Didnt you see that hes always with thatwyer called An Lan? Hes falling in love with her. Are you satisfied now?


    Yeah, I tore you two apart and gave thatwyer an opportunity. Jiang Qifei sneered.


    Luosang worried that she might change her mind. I cant do anything about that. I dont have the power to control him. An Lan has been fond of him for a long time. I broke up with him, so she grasped the opportunity to get close to him. You can tell your daughter to do the same.

 Chapter 697. Life.”

    Chapter 697. Life.��


    Speaking of her daughter, Jiang Qifei was furious. No matter what she said to try to convince her, she wouldnt have any of it. She had said she didnt want to implicate Nian Junting, and now, she was sleeping in the Armed Forces dormitories.


    Are you going to go back on your word? Luosang asked nervously.


    I wouldnt be sure if I were to find out that youre still talking to him or lying to me, Jiang Qifei said angrily before she hung up.


    Luosang sighed. She wasnt sure if Jiang Qifei would give her the evidence now. She had to find another way.


    Wednesday at the Shengting Corporation.


    Lu Kang received a call from Yufan and frowned. He waited a while before reporting back to Nian Junting. Mr. Nian, Yufan said they wouldnt let Miss Xu go.


    Nian Junting mmed on the keyboard and raised his voice. Dont they know who I am?


    I did tell them. Lu Kang was helpless. They said that since Miss Xu had a beautiful voice and her technique and skills are top-notch, they wouldnt let such talent go easily because they wouldnt be able to find an appropriate recement.


    What was wrong with Yufan? Nian Junting rubbed his forehead.


    Lu Kang continued, I think the man who thinks that Miss Xu is extremely beautiful might have helped her out. I heard that hes good friends with the Young Master of Yufan, Chu Jiu. Speaking of Chu Jiu, hes a prodigy when ites to programming and software.


    Geniuses are often friends with geniuses. Do you think that the man who has a crush on Luosang is a genius as well? Nian Juntingughed mockingly. Geniuses are nothing but theory. Theyre all fools.


    Lu Kang was used to this. His boss was narrow-minded and petty. He wouldnt be himself if he didnt insult his love rivals.


    Nian Junting crossed his arms in frustration. He hadnt expected Yufan to ignore his request. It seemed like Luosang would have to go to Beijing in the middle of the month after all.


    Luosang would never agree if he asked her not to go. Just when he was in the middle of his dilemma, Han Ming called, Mr. Nian, Im back. You asked me to take a look at Miss Xus health before


    Youre back. Ill take you there immediately. Nian Junting closed hisptop.


    All right.


    Nian Junting put down his phone and started putting on his jacket. Deliver this document to Mr. Xiao.


    Lu Kang grimaced. Mr. Nian, Mr. Xiao has gone fishing.


    Nian Junting was stunned. With Ji Nuanyi? He had been listening to Xiao Si talk about courting Ji Nuanyi all day long.


    No, with his friends. Mr. Zhou and them if Im not wrong.


    Nian Junting frowned. Hes always fooling around with Zhou Yanfeng and that bunch of rascals. Hes not treating his job seriously. No wonder he cant get any girls. I should have let him stay in the Great Northwest as a bachelor for the rest of his life.


    Lu Kang rubbed his nose. These documents


    Call him and ask him toe back to handle these, Nian Junting ordered. Before he left his office, Nian Junting walked back to snap a picture of the thick stack of documents.


    Lu Kang didnt know what he was up to at first until he opened his social media application half an hourter while waiting beneath Dr. Hans building. Mr. Nian had posted the picture he had taken earlier with the caption, A certain vice president left a pile of work for me to do while he was out having fun at theke. With a nonsense work ethic and no sense of responsibility, I hope he stays single for the rest of his life.


    Ji Nuanyimented below, He might really stay single for the rest of his life.

 Chapter 698. Because Shes Already Pregnan

    Chapter 698. Because She''s Already Pregnan


    Poor Vice President Xiao hadnt seen the post yet. He would be sad if he saw it, as his good friend was saying bad things about him in the WeChat moments again.


    Luosang was sitting in the ssroom, waiting for ss to begin. She was a little bored, so she picked up her phone and checked thetest WeChat moments. Soon, she saw Nian Juntings post. Under that post, Xiao Si had already left hisment. Nian Junting, dont you try to discredit me. Its nearly Chinas Youth Day, so Im preparing to send a few carp to the leaders of ourpany, as a gift.


    Luosang chuckled. Sending people carp as gifts on Chinas Youth Day How did he even think of that?


    Luosang, the president wants you in his office. One of Luosangs ssmates abruptly patted her back. Luosang gave a start, then felt that Nian Junting had something to do with it.


    After about ten minutes of walking, she knocked on the door of the office and walked in. Nian Junting was sitting on the couch with Doctor Han, legs and arms crossed, looking like an elite businessman. As Luosang came in, he raised his eyebrows and said, President He, this student of yours doesnt seem to respect you at all. She made you wait twenty minutes.


    As he was clearly trying to stir up trouble, Luosang responded impatiently, The school is huge. Of course it took that long to walk over here.


    Sensing the tense atmosphere, the president hurriedly tried to make peace. It does require that span of time. Um Luosang, Mr. Nian brought a doctor here to check on you.


    Miss Xu, please sit down. Doctor Han smiled and took out the stethoscope. Once he put the stethoscope in his ears, Nian Junting grasped his hands and stared at him with dagger eyes.


    Where are you looking at?


    Doctor Han responded, Mr. Nian, didnt you ask me to give Miss Xu a check up? Im going to listen to her heartbeat.


    Her heart is perfectly healthy. I want you to find out why her period iste. Does she have kidney weakness? Nian Juntings handsome face wore a grim look. No other man would ever be allowed to touch his womans breasts.


    Luosang felt slightly awkward. President He was still there. It was embarrassing to mention her period. And kidney weakness? Wasnt that a mans problem?


    Its just auscultation. If Miss Xu has a cough problem, any doctor would have to do it. Doctor Han felt a little helpless. But still, he put away the stethoscope and asked Luosang to reach out her hand. Then, he put a hand on her wrist to feel her pulse. Thankfully, Nian Junting wasnt possessive enough to forbid him from touching her hand, or he would have no way to find out what problem Luosang had.


    Luosang was pretty nervous. Yesterday, she had started to wonder if she was pregnant. What should she do if she was pregnant? She would definitely make Nian Junting suffer.


    Doctor Han spent a while feeling her pause, knitting his eyebrows together into a deeper and deeper frown. Switch hands, he said. He spent another while holding Luosangs other wrist.


    Once he took away his hand, Nian Junting asked impatiently, Hows it going? Should she take some medicine to induce menstruation?


    Doctor Han smiled. She might lose the baby if she took that kind of medicine.


    Nian Junting froze in shock, as if someone had just poked his acupuncture point. Baby? What did the doctor just say? Luosang had a baby? Luosang was stunned as well. She had thought that she might be pregnant, but she wasnt sure. When Doctor Han confirmed it, she waspletely astonished.


    So was she going to be a mother at such a young age? She hadnt even finished college yet. She wasnt prepared for that. Even though she had signed that pregnancy contract with Nian Junting, she didnt think that she could get pregnant so easily.


    Han Ming, make it clear. Nian Junting excitedly grasped Doctor Hans arm.


    Mr. Nian, Miss Xu is pregnant. Thats why her period iste. Doctor Hanughed through clenched teeth, as he was suffering pain.

 Chapter 699. Luo, Youre So Amazing, Youve Given Me a Little Princess

    Chapter 699. Luo, You''re So Amazing, You''ve Given Me a Little Princess


    Nian Junting was staring with his eyes wide open.


    He released Dr. Han and paced around the office multiple times before stopping in front of Luosang. He bent forward and stared hard at her belly.


    It was so t. How could there be a baby in there? His baby. He was thrilled as he rubbed his cheek, all smiles, like a silly boy. I told you there was a chance even during your safe period. Im quite formidable. I can take down the safe period anytime. Look, its only been a few days and youre already pregnant. Damn, Han Ming, your skills have improved again. Impressive.


    Luosang was bbergasted. How could she have gotten pregnant in a few days? It wouldnt even be realistic in a television series.


    Dr. Han was fighting backughter. I dont think the sperm and the egg would have imnted itself within a few days. Nobody would be able to tell if she was pregnant or not yet. I think Miss Xu has been pregnant for about a month now judging from her pulse.


    Nian Junting was stunned and lowered his head while he paused to think. Suddenly, it all made sense, and he pounded his fist into his palm. I know, it must have been that time in the car! Either that or that time on the dinner table.


    Pft Principle He spat out a mouthful of tea.


    Dr. Han snuck a look at Luosang and nearly gave her a thumb up. The two of them were so liberal and passionate. No wonder Nian Junting was so smitten. No wonder.


    Luosang was embarrassed, she stared at Nian Junting viciously and begged him to shut up. She wanted to crawl into a hole and hide there. Did he have to let the whole world know that they did it in the car and on the dining table? Principle He was her principle, after all.


    All right, stop talking. She pinched Nian Juntings arm forcefully.


    Nian Junting ignored her and looked at Dr. Han gleefully. It must be a girl, right? Shell be so pretty, cute, and intelligent.


    Dr. Han sighed. Every man who learned that they would be a dad suddenly acted like a fool. Mr. Nian, well I


    That must be it. Nian Junting turned to grasp Luosangs hands in his own and looked properly proud. Luo, you are so amazing. Youve given me a little princess.


    Luosangs expression was dark. Their baby was probably just a small embryo and he could already tell that it was going to be a little princess, fat chance.


    Um Mr. Nian, could you hear me out? Dr. Han muttered awkwardly. This isnt the most urate form of confirmation. You should take Miss Xu to do an ultrasound at the hospital.


    Nian Juntings face froze, and he turned to re at him, What do you mean. After all of this, youre not even sure if Im going to have a little princess?


    Dr. Han was about to cry. Of course, he couldnt be sure if it was a little princess. It could be a little prince. Mr. Nian was so unreasonable.


    Finally, Luosang spoke up for her. Youll only know the gender of the baby after three months if Im not wrong. Theres no way Dr. Han could know.


    Principle He said enthusiastically, I think you can find out within a month if you go to Hong Kong.


    Luosang red at Nian Junting. What do you mean anyway? Youre not going to love the baby if its a boy? Dont you want a baby boy to continue your family name?


    Thats so dated, Nian Junting said unceremoniously. What age are we living in now? How can a little boypare to a cute little princess? Boys are like dog piss.


    Luosang stroked her own belly. That was it. She wished that it wouldnt be a boy so he wouldnt be despised by his own father.

 Chapter 700. What If You Slipped? Ill Carry You Downstairs.

    Chapter 700. What If You Slipped? I''ll Carry You Downstairs.


    Seeing the look on his face, Luosang couldnt help but remind him, Dont you forget that you were a boy, too.


    Nian Junting pondered seriously and then responded, Thats right. Two people with the same gender repel each other. Havent you heard about that?


    Luosang didnt reply. She would remember this. It seemed that Nian Junting and a lot of women were attracted to each other. Hearing what Nian Junting said, President He even wanted to cry. He really wanted a boy, but his wife gave him a bunch of girls.


    Since we need to confirm it, go to the hospital with me now. Nian Junting stood up eagerly.


    Luosang realized what had happened when Nian Junting dragged her to the door. No, I cant go to the hospital now, she said.


    Why? Nian Junting figured it out once he asked that question. Because of Jiang Qifei? he asked.


    Luosang was stunned. That was as shocking as the fact that she was pregnant. How do you know? she asked. So many thoughts popped up in her head at that moment. She couldnt figure out how Nian Junting knew about that. She had only told An Lan and Yan Su. Did An Lan tell you about it?


    Im so smart and capable. Do I need her to remind me of that? Nian Juntings chiseled face wore an unhappy look. He didnt tell her the truth because first, he wanted to punish her, and second, he wanted her to have his baby. Now, she was punished and was pregnant with his baby. She would never be able to run away from him, so there was no reason for him to keep pretending. However, he didnt want to talk to her about that now, as they were in the presidents office, and Doctor Han was there, too.


    He dragged her quickly to the stairs. But suddenly, he realized that she was pregnant. So he hurriedly stopped and lifted Luosang to his chest.


    What are you doing? Put me down! Luosang gave a start. They were in the schools office building, so school leaders could be seen everywhere. How could he do that?


    I cant. Nian Junting wore a serious frown. These are stairs.


    Whats wrong with the stairs?


    Youre pregnant. Its not safe for you to walk up and down stairs. What if you slipped? Ill just carry you down. After saying that, Nian Junting carried her quickly downstairs.


    Luosang put her arms tightly around his neck with fright. Please, this is even more dangerous, she thought.


    Downstairs, when Nian Junting put Luosang into the car, Doctor Han hurriedly caught up with him and said, Young Master Nian, wait. I didnt have my car. Give me a ride.


    Go and take a taxi. Im going to the hospital. Also, if I get to the hospital and find that Luosang is not pregnant, Ill destroy you, Nian Junting said and then shut the car door.


    Doctor Han was left speechless. How could Nian Junting just kick down thedder like that? He hade here especially for him, but after he did his job, Mr. Nian threw him away like a piece of rag and even threatened him. However, he did hope that he hadnt misdiagnosed Xu Luosang.


    In the car, Lu Kang turned and said to Nian Junting with surprise, Mr. Nian, is Miss Xu in a serious condition? Why are we going to the hospital?


    Its pretty serious, indeed. Shes pregnant. Nian Junting chuckled.


    Lu Kang opened his mouth wide in shock. A short whileter, he hurriedly smiled at Nian Junting and said, Mr. Nian, congrattions. Youre gonna be a father.


    The look on Nian Juntings handsome face was beyond excited. Dont be jealous of me. Even though youre a couple of years older than me, youll be a father, too. Qiao Xue seems to be a good girl. Shes a little clumsy, but at least she has a good heart.


    Mr. Lu and Qiao Xue Luosang was surprised. She felt great pity. She thought that Lu Kang would have a chance to be with Yan Su, as she had broken up with her boyfriend, but unexpectedly, Lu Kang was with Qiao Xue now.


    He was a nice guy, actually. Even though he was only an assistant, he had a greatwork of contacts, and he was capable and thoughtful. He would take good care of Yan Su.

 Chapter 701. When did you find out about Jiang Qifei?

    Chapter 701. When did you find out about Jiang Qifei?


    No. Lu Kang was frustrated.


    Mr. Nian, thats not very nice of you. You have been saying terrible things about Qiao Xue, and that girl has been avoiding me ever since then. Now that youre in a good mood again, youre saying that were apatible match.


    Nian Junting said casually, I was in a foul mood then. It was insensitive of you two to appear to happily in love in front of me.


    Lu Kang grimaced. When did I ever do that? She merely bought me a mug.


    Shes saying that you are her cup of tea. Isnt that obnoxious? Nian Junting grunted.


    Lu Kang didnt wish to defend himself further.


    Luosang smiled. I thought that Assistant Lu might stand a chance now that Su has broken up with her boyfriend. I guess not then.


    Lu Kang was stunned. His eyes looked hopeful. Su is single now?


    Yeah, they just broke up a few days ago.


    Nian Junting looked at his assistant and said coolly, Youre thinking of Qiao Xue on one end and Yan Su on the other. Youre so fickle-minded.


    Thats not true. Lu Kang felt wronged, and he continued, Yan Su is like a rare flower on the cliff. She might be a little out of my reach. She might not even like me that way. Qiao Xue is quite cute, like a girl next door. She could marry me, and we could spend the rest of our lives together. She might be more suitable for me.


    I dont know. Nian Junting frowned and quickly reached for Luosangs hands. I only know that you should go after whoever you like. Dont flirt around like that.


    Mr. Nian, not everyone can just get the girl like you, Lu Kang sighed.


    How could you think that youre not good enough for Yan Su as my assistant? Im quite disappointed that you would think that way, Nian Junting said. Youve been someone I value for so many years. I approve of your capabilities and potential. You earn quite a bit too, dont you? Your yearly sry is over a million dors, and you dabble in investments as well. You dont smoke or drink, you cook well, and you do chores. I would rate you seventy points as a man. Im a hundred points, of course.


    Lu Kang was shocked at his sudden outburst of affection. He had never heard his bosspliment him like this before.


    No wonder people said that men changed when they became dads. He had grown morepassionate.


    Mr. Nian, do you think I can court Yan Su then?


    Lu Kang snuck a look at Luosang, and she didnt look like she was going to oppose the idea. He heaved a sigh of relief. Miss Xu, do you think Yan Su will like someone like me?


    I dont know. It really depends on the individual when ites to feelings, Luosang said. I dont think women are always looking for material qualities in men or how they look. Were just looking for guys who will show us care and provide us with warmth.


    Nian Junting added, Anyway, theyre looking for men like me. You might not be me, but you can always learn from me.


    No way Im learning from you, Lu Kang thought to himself.


    After the conversation ended, Luosang turned to ask Nian Junting, You havent told mewhen did you find out about Jiang Qifei? Who told you about it?


    Nian Junting cast her a side nce and said smugly, I found out long ago. I thought that your acting was terrible, and I decided to y along with you.


    Luosang was stunned. She found his statement sounding familiar.


    How dare he talk about her acting when he acts in such a dramatic and unrealistic way? she thought to herself.


    Did you know when I used Chi Shengxu to hurt you? Luosang was puzzled. You were putting on an act when you stood below my block?

 Chapter 702. Did You Trick Me into Having a Baby?

    Chapter 702. Did You Trick Me into Having a Baby?


    Of course. Nian Junting nodded expressionlessly. I could tell what you were thinking at one nce.


    Lu Kang, who was driving the car, silently rolled his eyes, feeling that Nian Junting was so shameless that he even said something like that. He had been so miserable during those couple of days.


    Luosang was pretty unhappy as well. She couldnt understand how he had suddenly be so good at pretending.


    And you. Nian Junting snorted. You said that I might be exaggerating, but you actually should look at yourself. If I wasnt coordinating with you, Jiang Qifei would have found out long ago.


    You Luosang immediately figured it out. Su told you about it! She said angrily through clenched teeth, How could she do that? She promised me she wouldnt tell.


    Rx. I pressed her to find out that you didnt trust my acting skills. Nian Junting wore an aggrieved expression. He had been bearing a grudge about that. Fortunately, she told me the truth. Otherwise, I wouldnt have known your real purpose. If I hadnt known, to be honest, Id have been rather disappointed. You broke up with me only because someone threatened you. Whatever n you had, you did it because you didnt trust me.


    Hearing that, Luosang felt slightly guilty. However, that feeling quickly faded away. He had known about her n all along, so he was never really hurt. On the other hand, she thought that he was hurt for real, and because of that, she couldnt sleep nor eat. She cried secretly as she hid on her balcony and kept looking down at him. But in the end, it turned out that he was only pretending.


    What about you? You just said that youve paid off the people who have been watching me long ago. Why did you still pretend not to know the truth, then? You acted stealthily and signed that pregnancy contract with me. Why did you do that? Did you trick me into having a baby?


    The more she thought about that, the stranger she felt. I get it. You were with An Lan deliberately to make me jealous, werent you? When I was so jealous and so sad, you showed up with that contract. In order to keep you from leaving me, Id surely sign the contract. Youre so evil. If I hadnt gotten pregnant this time, youd have never told me the truth.


    Yeah, so what? At that moment, Nian Junting saw no reason to keep pretending. He proudly raised his chin like a winner and said, You were nning to have a baby to win me back in the beginning, werent you? I have only fulfilled your little wish.


    Looking at his face, Luosang wanted so badly to punch him. She even wanted to p him to death with a slipper. What a b*stard! He got what he wanted, and he was so smug. And why had Yan Su exposed all her little secrets? She should have made friends more carefully. Alright, I get it. Luosang took a deep breath. Ill have the baby. But, itll be mine. Mine alone. Itll have nothing to do with you.


    How can that be possible? Can you provide the egg and sperm at the same time? Nian Junting didnt care what she said. He saw her as a little girl who was venting her spleen.


    Its in my uterus, so I can choose to have it or not. Lusang gritted her teeth and red at him.


    Nian Junting frowned and suddenly turned very sulky. Our little princess is so adorable. How could you say something like that? Shed be so sad if she heard you in your belly. Her mother doesnt even want her. That was so hurtful.


    Luosang paused briefly after hearing what he said. However, what she felt more was aggrieved. He had entrapped her. She said those angry words because she wasnt happy about that.

 Chapter 703. You Have Underestimated Your Man

    Chapter 703. You Have Underestimated Your Man


    Luosang was speechless. The guy was acting as if her baby was going to be a girl for sure.


    A girl would be nice, a baby girl who would be as cute as Nian Xi. If she had a boy like Nian Junting, she would probably have a heart attack.


    Who said I didnt want the baby? I dont want you. Luosang said spitefully.


    Nian Junting ignored what she said. He knew that she was trying to tie him down with the baby. He knew how much she loved him, she just refused to admit to it.


    All right. I decided not to be angry with you anymore, so stop holding grudges, Nian Junting said. Luosang was miffed that he was acting as if he was the bigger man who was forgiving her wrongdoings.


    Luosang inhaled sharply and ignored him. But she was curious as to how he found out about the scheme.


    Nian Junting smiled cheekily when he saw her trying to ignore him. He started stroking her belly with a satisfied grin on his face.


    Luosang was annoyed after a while and tried to peel his hands away from her body, but to no avail.


    Dont touch me. Luosang pinched his hands forcefully, causing a bruise on the back of his hand.


    Nian Junting frowned. I wont tell you about how Jiang Qifei got a hold of the evidence if you pinch me again.


    Luosang was dying from curiosity, so she stopped tormenting him. She has someone backing her? Is she with a rich man?


    Liao Qiulong from Qifeng Holdings, Nian Junting said.


    Luosang was stunned. I didnt expect Liao Qiulong to be so formidable. How did he get a hold of the evidence, even before you did?


    Nian Juntings expression looked somber. Liao Qiulong isnt that formidable. Im way more influential than he is. Jiang Qifei knew about this because she came upon a document when she went to visit my dad at his office. She was snooping around and saw the information he had when he ran a background check on you. That was how she managed to grab a hold of the evidence before I could. Nian Qingyun felt that something was off and looked into the matter and told me about it. If not, I would have really been heartbroken by your sudden breakup.


    It all made sense now. The whole time, Jiang Qifei was only supported by Liao Qiulong. She had thought there was someone even more formidable supporting her.


    She was one step ahead of Nian Junting after all. It was just her evil scheme.


    So, your dad was the real mastermind behind this? Luosang said grumpily. Why was he checking up on me? Was he going to use the information against me?


    He had ns to, but he decided against it after he divorced my mother. Nian Junting decided to tell her the truth after some hesitation. He didnt hide the document well but I scolded him about it. Dont worry, he wont do such things again. He has epted you now.


    Luosang was in disbelief. Nian Qingyun epted her? Wasnt he going on about Nian Junting marrying Leng Shuangwei earlier on?


    Jiang Qifei was the main issue now though.


    Leave Jiang Qifei to me.


    Nian Junting chuckled coldly. How dare she threaten you and our rtionship. The nerve of her. Does she really think shes got it all now that she has Liao Qiulong? She thinks that she can manipte our feelings and our lives, but she didnt expect me to set up a trap around her. Now, Im just waiting for her to make a fool out of herself.


    Luosang looked at him in bewilderment. I just want to get hold of the evidence. Im worried that she would ruin it if she is antagonized.


    Dont worry. Ill make her hand it over willingly. If she enjoys threatening others, I will let her have a taste of her own medicine. Nian Junting sunk his body into the sofa and smiled eerily. Luo, I will let you know that you have underestimated your man.

 Chapter 704. Mr. Nian, Maybe Youre looking at the Wrong Area

    Chapter 704. Mr. Nian, Maybe You''re looking at the Wrong Area


    Hearing that, Nian Junting sighed with relief. Since Nian Junting was able to deal with the people who had been helping Jiang Qifei, she didnt need to worry. In fact, I was thinking that maybe I should tell you the truth. Last time, when I talked to Jiang Qifei on the phone, I felt that she might not give me the evidence unless you got together with Leng Shuangwei.


    You should have thought about that long ago. Nian Junting snorted. How could you believe what a sneaky person said? Should I call you innocent or naive?


    Hearing his sarcastic talk, Luosang felt frustrated. She responded grumpily, How dare you say that. If it wasnt for your father, would I possibly have fallen into her trap?


    Nian Junting crossed his arms and said, My father cant do anything right, and my woman is innocent and naive. The people around me really make me worry.


    Luosang was speechless. She decided not to say anything.


    In the hospital, Nian Junting found someone he knew who guided him and Luosang straight to the B-ultrasonic room. Luosangid on the small bed, and the doctor put the probe on her belly. Nian Junting stood beside her, gazing straight at theputer screen. Doctor, is my wife pregnant?


    Hm The doctor spent quite a while staring at the screen before nodding. The fetus is already in her uterus.


    As the doctor confirmed it personally, Nian Junting got excited again. I saw it, he said. The little princess is developing pretty well.


    The corners of the doctors mouth twitched slightly. However, as the president had told her to be extra nice to Nian Junting, she asked patiently, Mr. Nian, maybe youre looking at the wrong area.


    Im not. That ck sphere, isnt that my daughter? Nian Junting pointed at the screen.


    Thats not. Thats just a shadow, the doctor said. The baby is just a tiny embryo now. Most people cant see it, unless theyre professionally trained. Even when the baby is thirty weeks old, some parents may still not be able to recognize its eyes and nose from the b-ultrasonic image. Also, it might not be a girl. We cant tell yet. Why would the hospital have doctors for B-ultrasounds if everyone could read b-ultrasonic images?


    Luosangid on the bed and raised her head as much as possible. She wanted to see the image but couldnt. So atst, she gave up and said to the daughter, Doctor, just dont say that to him. He only wants a daughter.


    Really? The doctorughed. Your husband is pretty nice. Nowadays, many men want boys to carry on their family names. Some fathers ask for an abortion when they find out that their wives are pregnant with girls. Ive seen lots of that. Those women really suffered.


    Hearing the word husband, Luosangs cheeks burned slightly. She was too shy to exin that Nian Junting wasnt her husband. She didnt want people to know that she was pregnant before marriage.


    After hearing what the doctor said, Nian Junting wore a cold face and said, Every little girl is a baby angel. Why abort them? Those fathers should be in prison.


    The doctor smiled. Little girls arent the only angels. Little boys are, too.


    Boys are devils, Nian Junting said without thinking.


    Hearing that, the doctor nced at Luosang with a weird expression. She hoped that Luosang was having a girl, as her husband seemed to really not like boys.


    Also, Doctor, is there anything that my wife should pay extra attention to? Nian Junting asked in a low voice. He was now seeing Luosang as his wife for sure.


    Um I think you should consult your gynecologist about that, said the doctor. Theyre the specialist for that. Later, you also need to do a blood test.

 Chapter 705. How Can You Not Stay With Me When Youre Already Pregnant With My Child?

    Chapter 705. How Can You Not Stay With Me When You''re Already Pregnant With My Child?


    Nian Junting took Luosang to the gynecologist. After the doctor reviewed the ultrasound, she said in a reassuring voice, Dont worry, your child is developing fine and your wife is young. It should be a smooth pregnancy.


    Hmm, she eats and drinks well. Nian Junting nodded his head and agreed.


    The doctor smiled. Its good that she can eat.


    But she likes to stay upte at night because of her work. Most days she goes to bed around two to three oclock in the morning, Nian Junting said. Then suddenly, Doctor, would it affect our baby?


    Of course she should try to rest more and avoid staying upte at night, the doctor said.


    Did you hear that? I dont think you should go to Beijing this month for your work. Dont tire yourself out too much, Nian Junting said to Luosang. You have to think about our little princess.


    Although Luosang didnt look forward to going back to Yufan, she felt indignant about his bossy tone of voice. I already dubbed the film for two days and thepany would definitely make mepensate them for breaking the contract too, Luosang said.


    So what? I can pay for thepensation fees. I dont care how much it would be, Nian Junting said as he pulled a chair to sit next to the doctor. He fished out a notebook and a pen. What else should I pay attention to doctor? Ill write them down.


    There were two intern doctors standing next to them whispering to each other. Damn, her husband is so handsome and so doting on her and her baby. What an unfair world.


    Yeah, so many pregnant motherse for their doctors appointment by themselves. Im so envious of her!


    Shes so pretty after all.


    Well, there are many pretty girls married to scumbags. Not all handsome, rich men are responsible.


    Thats true, some men dont even care when their wives get pregnant. They still expect their wives to serve them even when they are carrying their child.


    Luosang could hear their conversation and she felt content. They were praising her man and her rtionship.


    She was still a little worried that the only reason why Nian Junting was so excited was because he was under the impression that she was carrying a baby girl. She wondered if he would show as much concern if she was carrying a baby boy instead.


    After conversing with Nian Junting for another ten minutes or so, the doctor reminded them, Remember to register at the family nning agency,e for regr checkups and apply for a birth certificate.


    Thank you. Nian Junting finally stood up and led Luosang toward the door.


    Before they left the building, Luosang had to do some blood tests on the ground floor. When it was done, Nian Junting called Sister Lan to get her to make some ck-bone chicken soup to replenish Luosangs energy.


    Luosang was warmed by his effort, although she was still angry with him for tricking her into signing the pregnancy contract. She hated and loved this man at the same time.


    Lets go. Well go get your stuff from your apartment first, Nian Junting said to her after he hung up. Youre pregnant now, so you have to live with me. Ill only be reassured if Sister Lan is around to take care of you.


    No way. Luosang shook her head. She wasnt going to let him get his way. You can deliver the soup that Sister Lan makes to my apartment. I dont have to stay with you. Im fine on my own.


    How can you not stay with me when youre already pregnant with my child? Nian Junting frowned.


    Luosang chuckled. Who said that you have to stay together after having a child together? I dont think there was such a use on the pregnancy contract.


    Nian Junting eyes narrowed. Ive already told you the truth. Are you still nning on being the surrogate mother to my child?


    Anyway Im not going, Luosang said as she walked briskly towards the door.


    Shocked, Nian Junting ran after her to catch up. He grabbed her arm and said, Luosang, what are you doing?

 Chapter 706. Baby, Your Mother Wants to Make You an Illegal Resident of this Country

    Chapter 706. Baby, Your Mother Wants to Make You an Illegal Resident of this Country


    Luosang failed to catch up. She hadnt even agreed to move in with him yet, but how did he suddenly mention getting a marriage license? That was impressive.


    Dont you agree? Nian Junting stared at her. We live in a society with rule ofw. Do you want our child to be an illegal resident of this country? After saying that, he touched Luosangs belly, then continued in a deep and gentle voice, Baby, your mother wants to make you an illegal resident of this country. Shes outrageous. How can she treat you that way?


    Luosang was a little speechless. The baby was still an embryo, yet he had already learned tell on her to it. What would happen when the baby was born?


    Even though the baby was only an embryo, Luosang still exined hurriedly, How can I be in the mood to get a marriage license before I get my father out of prison? Besides, its such an important thing, and my father doesnt know yet. If I got married without telling him, hed be so angry when he found out. Dont say those bad words to the baby again. It might misunderstand and think that its not wee.


    But, if our father got out of prison and found out that youre pregnant, but I havent married you, hed be even angrier. He might even think of me as an irresponsible man, Nian Junting immediately disagreed.


    Im not in the mood, anyway. Luosang lowered her head, looked at the time, and said, Im going back to ss. Even if Im pregnant, I dont want to miss ss.


    Get in. Ill drive you to school. Lu Kang drove the car over, and Nian Junting directly put Luosang into the car. He wasnt sure what exactly Luosang was thinking, but as she hadnt agreed, he understood that he couldnt force her. He had read in a book that women might tend to be more and more short-tempered after they got pregnant, so he had no intention of arguing with her.


    She wasnt willing to move in with him, and still, he couldnt force her. He decided to use this time to focus on Jiang Qifei, and to get his father-inw out of prison before his baby came into this world.


    In the backseat, Luosang sat on Nian Juntingsp. She wanted to move off, but he wouldnt let her. He put his ears on her belly to listen carefully.


    My head is almost bumping into the cars roof, Luosang told him through clenched teeth.


    Nian Junting abruptly raised his head and said, I heard noises!


    Thats the noise from my empty stomach. Luosang found it both annoying and funny.


    My daughter is hungry. Nian Junting immediately added, Lu Kang, find a bakery and pull over, then go and buy my daughter a piece of cake.


    Luosang was really speechless. She was hungry, not the baby. Nian Junting only cared about his daughter now. Lu Kang found the nearest bakery and quickly bought a lot of food. Luosang opened one box and starting eating the cake in it. No wonder she had been eating quite a lottely. It turned out that she had a little baby in her belly.


    She couldnt understand how she was going to be a mother soon. Mother was a strange term in her memory. She never had a mother. Could she be a good mother? She felt a little lost. However, she knew that she didnt resent the babysing.


    Nian Junting asked Lu Kang to drive her all the way to the school gate, then got out of the car himself to open the door for her. After that, he stared at her high heels and said, Youre not allowed to wear heels again. Im going to shop today for some supplies for you. Ill send them to you tonight. Tell me what you want to eat. Ill ask Sister Lan to make it for you.


    I got it. Luosang waved a hand. She only wanted to bring Yan Su some trouble now.


    Nian Junting watched her walk away, then looked at the B-ultrasound report in his hands over and over again. He felt like he was in a dream. Lu Kang, he said, Send those photos to Liao Qiulongs wife right now.


    Lu Kangughed. Mr. Nian, are you gonna make a move?

 Chapter 707. Fine, Youre The Boss Since You Just Fell Out Of Love

    Chapter 707. Fine, You''re The Boss Since You Just Fell Out Of Love


    Luo is pregnant now. I have to rescue our dad from there, Nian Junting said wiggling his brows.


    He would make Jiang Qifei pay for hurting his woman like that.


    After Luosang returned to school, she went straight to the music academy to look for Yan Su.


    sses had not ended yet, so after waiting for a while, the bell rang and students started streaming out from the lecture theatres. Yan Su was trailing behind when Luosang caught sight of her. She quickly pulled her aside.


    Whats the matter? Yan Su was puzzled by her somber expression.


    Su, you are such a traitor. I trusted you with all my heart. Luosang propped her hands on her waist. You were Nian Juntings spy all along, arent you? You told him my secret that I wanted to birth his child?


    Yeah


    Yan Su looked guilty. I was forced


    You could have at least given me a heads up. You didnt have to tell him everything. Luosang nodded her head, feeling like a fool. I know you were the one who told him about my flight details when we flew to Beijing, didnt you? Is that why we bumped into each other?


    You guys put on such a good act, Luosang said gritting her teeth. You two yed me like a fool.


    I didnt have a choice. Mr. Nian had figured everything out and came to interrogate me. Yan Su grimaced saying, He threatened my career if I said I wouldnt y along. I didnt tell him even then until he threatened to sow discord between the two of us once he married you. He is evil, that man.


    Luosangughed saying, How could our friendship be so fragile that he coulde between us?


    He also said that he would make me the godmother of your child, Yan Su mumbled and saw that Luosang was ring at her by now. She quickly raised both her hands in an act of surrender. Im out of love, are you still going to be mad at me? Arent you worried that I would have suicidal thoughts after losing both my boyfriend and my best friend?


    Luosang felt something stuck in her throat and she couldnt speak.


    She opened her mouth in silence and finally said, Fine, youre the boss since you just fell out of love.


    Yeah, you know how upset I have been recently. Ive had so many sleepless nights, Yan Su said pleadingly.


    Luosang knew how difficult things were for her.


    She saw her lights switched on when she got up in the middle of the night for water.


    She couldnt bear to scold her further.


    Yan Su quickly added, Mr. Nian was in quite a sorry state too. He had stood below our apartment for two days in the rain. Poor him


    He was pretending. He knew that I was threatened by Jiang Qifei long ago, Luosang said grumpily.


    Yan Su was stunned. No, he only came to look for me after. He didnt know about that before he came for me. He was quite angry at you after I told him the truth and he thought you were being inconsiderate of his feelings. He felt hurt you didnt trust him enough to let him in on your secret. He didnt feel so bad after he found out you wanted to tie him down with a baby.


    No, but he told me Luosang finally understood what was going on. He lied to her again.


    He boasted about his superior acting. What a load of lies.


    How did you find out in the end? Yan Su was puzzled. It doesnt make sense. Mr. Nian would never have told you the truth until you were pregnant. He really wants to be a father. Are you


    Her eyes widened in shock.

 Chapter 708. He Told Us to Call You Mrs. Nian Since You Broke Up with Him

    Chapter 708. He Told Us to Call You Mrs. Nian Since You Broke Up with Him


    Luosangs cheeks reddened slightly. A short whileter, she put a hand on her forehead and said with a very muffled voice, Im pregnant, about four weeks.


    Yan Su spent a few seconds gazing at her and thenughed. I knew you might be pregnant. Congrattions to you and Mr. Nian! You both got what you wanted. Its such a surprise, though. You were trying so hard to get pregnant back then, but you didnt know that you were already pregnant.


    Luosang sighed. Yeah, I thought you cant get pregnant during the safe period. Now I know theres no guarantee with that.


    Mr. Nian is especially good at that kind of thing. Yan Su raised her brows and narrowed her eyes. Hearing that, Luosangs entire body even started burning as she thought of something that she shouldnt have been thinking about at the moment.


    It seems that Im gonna be a godmother, but Yan Su suddenly dropped her eyes and continued, Youre pregnant, so I guess youre going to move out of the apartment soon.


    Luosang shook her head slightly and said, No. He tricked me into signing that pregnancy contract, so I wont forgive him easily. Besides, you just broke up with your boyfriend, so I dont trust you being in the apartment without me.


    Sangsang, youre so nice. Yan Su was so touched, she gave Luosang a hug.


    Of course. Friends are way more important than a boyfriend, Luosang said jokingly.


    Yan Su shivered and said, Dont say that. Please dont say that in front of Mr. Nian. Im afraid that he might destroy me.


    Luosang thought for a moment and felt that it was very likely to happen.


    At four pm, Luosang finished her ss, then went to the library and spent a while reading. After that, she nned to go to the cafeteria and have dinner there. Yan Su needed to work that night, and Luosang didnt want to cook alone.


    On her way to the cafeteria, she suddenly got a phone call from Nian Junting. Have you finished your sses yet? Ive bought some food to cook for you.


    Luosang gave a start. Her mind automatically recalled the undercooked pork ribs and chicken wings that Nian Junting made herst time, and it even made her stomach twitch. You dont have to, she hurriedly responded. I can eat in the cafeteria.


    The food there is not safe.


    The cafeteria in our school is pretty clean, Luosang argued.


    The food there cant be cleaner than our own food. You dont want to go to Tianhu Vi, so I brought Sister Lan here. Are you gonna say no to that, too? Nian Junting said in a cold and deep voice.


    Luosang sighed. So you brought Sister Lan here. I thought you were gonna cook for me.


    I was, Nian Junting replied. But Sister Lan insisted oning here and cooking for you after finding out that youre pregnant. Come back now. Dont make her wait too long. If she loses weight, whos gonna be responsible for her lost fat?


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She could imagine how unpleasant that sounded to Sister Lan.


    When she arrived at the apartment, Nian Junting and Sister Lan had already been waiting for a while by her door. A row of bags was lying around their feet. Seeing Luosang, Sister Lan immediately stepped forward, smiled, and said, Mrs. Nian, congrattions. Im so happy for you and Young Master!


    Luosang felt very awkward hearing that. Sister Lan, who are you talking to?


    You. Sister Lanughed. Ever since you broke up with Young Master, hes been making us call you Mrs. Nian.


    Luosang turned to Nian Junting, feeling very speechless. Nian Junting expressionlessly pointed at the closed door and said, Open it.


    Luosang had no choice but to open that door. After that, Nian Junting quickly carried all those bags into the apartment, saying, Ive asked my employees who have had children. They said that when you get pregnant, you have to switch many things to those designed for pregnant women only. Ive bought all of them for you. These are the towels, toothbrush, sleepers, pillow, skincare, shampoo, and body wash for pregnant women, and this is the radiation-proof cloth. Also, I got you this nutritional supplement. Itll give you all sorts of vitamins and DHA. All the nutrition that the baby needs is in there. With this, our baby will have snow-white skin and shiny ck hair. I got you a ten-month supply.

 Chapter 709. I Guess I Cant Leave Tonigh

    Chapter 709. I Guess I Can''t Leave Tonigh


    Luosang was shocked.


    Nian Junting looked like he was brainwashed by advertisements.


    Is this really good? Luosang stuttered as she picked up a box and examined it.


    Of course. I bought you walnuts too. Remember to eat more of those. It helps to supplement the brain, Nian Junting said with frustration, seeing how clueless she looked.


    He was the one who picked a girl so much younger than himself, he thought.


    She didnt know any better.


    It seemed like he had to do the work here.


    I only just got pregnant so you dont have to buy me so many things. Luosang thought that her body was fine, and he was overreacting.


    Sister Lan chimed in, Sang, this is only a small part of it. Young Master bought dozens of sets of baby clothes. He bought everything, from prams to cribs and mother products. He has already filled an entire room with things.


    Luosang was in shock.


    Nian Junting raised his chin, and he appeared pleased with himself. He was sparkling with excitement, I heard from my employees at work today and I couldnt resist shopping in the afternoon. I felt like you and the baby needed everything in the store when I went there. I didnt think I bought enough, so Im going shopping again tomorrow. Im also arranging for the renovationpany to remake one of the rooms in the vi into a baby nursery. We will use the most environmentally friendly materials. I dont want our baby inhaling any toxins or poisons. Otherwise, we can buy another vi. I think my ce might be a little too small. I also want to build an amusement park in our house for our child.


    Luosang was sweating from anxiety.


    She was worried that he would buy out the shops before they even had the baby. He would probably spend millions of dors, so she quickly said, Stop being such a spendthrift. Forget about it. I think you should hand me your wallet.


    Nian Junting grinned, Fine, Ill hand it over if you move in with me.


    Luosang fell silent immediately.


    Forget it. Go ahead and spend your money.


    It was money that she earned anyway. She didnt have to feel bad for him.


    Later, sister Lan cooked for them in the evening.


    Luosang sat on the sofa watching television while Nian Junting was peeling and cutting fruit for her.


    Luosang couldnt even tease him.


    Sister Lan only finished preparing dinner when Luosang started burping from all the fruit she had.


    Dinner looked amazing. The dishes thought out carefully and it was a nutritious and scrumptious meal.


    Luosang was feeling full but had an appetite to eat more once she saw the dishes, so she had another bowl of rice.


    After dinner, Sister Lan washed the dishes and cleaned up the house. Luosang continued watching television until she realized it had gotten quiet around her. She turned to see Nian Junting reading a book titled, How To Be a Good Dad and he appeared engrossed. Under the yellowmp, his features were entuated by the shadows casted on his face.


    She was stunned.


    She remembered what the intern doctors were talking about.


    As a man who was about to be a father, he was acting extremely well. He was taking the whole matter much more serious than she was.


    Suddenly, she began to look forward to the arrival of their child.


    Although she might not be able to work in theter stages of her pregnancy, she could still invest in her career after giving birth.


    Some women preferred to build their careers before starting a family, but she merely decided to do it the other way around.


    Nian Junting snuggled up to her and said, Luo, look, the book says here that a couple should sleep together when the mother is pregnant. It helps the baby feel safe and secure. Then our baby can feel both mummy and daddys love from inside.


    Luosang turned her face towards him, she was speechless. She caught sight of his sparkling eyes and he said, I guess I cant leave tonight.

 Chapter 710. Ill Love You Both so much

    Chapter 710. I''ll Love You Both so much


    Luosang nced at the book and said in an unfriendly tone, Im sorry, Im just a surrogate mother. Why are you talking about fatherly love and motherly love?


    Luo, those are some awful words. Our baby has life, even though shes only an embryo now. Nian Junting put down the book. He was slow-minded, but still, he could feel that Luosang was still mad at him about the pregnancy contract.


    He thought for a moment and then reached out his arms in a bossy manner. He made her sit on his knees, then looked her in the eyes and said, Luo, are you still angry because I made you sign that contract? Actually, I did it because I was afraid that I might lose you. Jiang Qifei threatened you, so you gave up on me immediately. That made me so sad. I was worried that this kind of thing might happen again. Thats why I wanted to have a baby with you. That way, youll never leave me again.


    Luosang was touched a little. In fact, before Nian Junting made her sign the contract, she had felt guilty, too. God knew how terrible she felt in those days seeing him suffer. She was angry because he didnt n to tell her the truth until he found out that she was pregnant.


    Why are you sad? Didnt you say that you knew it all since the beginning, and that you were only pretending? Luosang said sarcastically, You even faked it when you showered in the rain downstairs at my apartment. I guess the love poem that you read in my school was fake, too, wasnt it?


    Nian Junting didnt know how to respond. If he had known this, he wouldnt have lied to save his face earlier. If he denied it now, he would lose even more face. Seeing the look on his face, Luosang figured that he regretted it. He deserved it. He shouldnt have lied to her.


    As he showed no sign of admitting it, Luosang decided to tell the truth herself. Su told me that you talked to her after you were soaked in the rain. You werent pretending, were you?


    Nian Junting picked up a ss of water and took a sip awkwardly. His handsome face was stained with a suspicious redness. Luosang teased, Acting skill? If youre really that good at acting, you should have been awarded an Oscar.


    But I did pretty good afterward, at the airport, in Beijing, Nian Junting hurriedly added.


    Dont even mention what happened at the airport and in Beijing to me. I still remember how close you and An Lan were. You even visited Yonghe Lama temple together. Luosang was so unhappy that she even wanted to bite him.


    Looking at her angry face, Nian Juntingughed. He gently put an arm around her waist and said, An Lan and I were only pretending. You and Chi Shengxu did the same to fool me, so I needed to make you jealous as well. Only in that way would you sign that contract sooner, because you didnt want to lose me. In fact, there was nothing between An Lan and me. Youre the only person in my heart. Luo, youre the only person that I love.


    Hearing that, Luosang had a sweet feeling. What she had worried the most about was that he might never forgive her for what she had done and that he might leave her. Unexpectedly, it had ended this way.


    She was a little mad, indeed, because what he did to her was awful. So, she wanted him to suffer a bit. However, when he said that he loved her, most of Luosangs heart couldnt help but soften.


    Nian Junting continued, Also, Im thirty years old. An army friend of mine has two children. He often posts photos of his children on WeChat moments, and that made me quite jealous. You gave me an opportunity. I admit that I set a trap. But Luo, I want to be a father. I want to have a baby with you. Im gonna love you both so much.


    Luosangs heart was even melting. A short whileter, she responded shyly, What if its a boy? Dont tell me that it has to be a girl. You cant tell for sure.


    If its a boy, youll be nice to him, and Ill be nice to you only. Nian Junting gave her a kiss on the cheek.


    Luosangs face reddened a little.

 Chapter 711. Sister Lan… Shes Still In The Kitchen

    Chapter 711. Sister Lan�� She''s Still In The Kitchen


    Nian Junting raised her long and elegant hand and said, I understand, you are still studying. You said that you would only marry me and have children after another couple of years, but my Luo is so pretty and young, no matter how confident I am, I am still worried that you will be snatched away by someone else. For safety matters, we will have a baby now to bridge our gap. Even if we fight or argue in the future, we will never part again. For our baby, we are a family now. Luo, you will never be alone again.


    Luosang had been hiding from her past. The loneliness she had experienced made her fearful and anxious.


    Hisst sentences touched a soft spot in her heart.


    She was buried in his embrace and she couldnt say anything in response.


    Yeah, with the baby, he would never leave her in the future.


    Luosangid in his chest. She was soft and submissive.


    Nian Junting looked down at her pale and bright face. His woman was glowing, even when she was pregnant.


    It had been a long time since sheid in his chest so obediently like this.


    Thest time in the hotel, although they had a passionate night, the two of them fell asleep quickly since they were both exhausted. He didnt get a good look at her then.


    Recalling the night they spent together, Nian Junting stroked her belly and remarked, Luo, our baby is so awesome. They always say that couples should avoid getting intimate in the first three months of pregnancy. We were so passionate that night but our baby is still safe and sound.


    Luosang thought about all the things they did to each other that night.


    She blushed a bright pink.


    Nian Junting saw her pinkplexion and he felt a wave of heat overwhelm him; something was choking his Adams apple. He searched for her lips with his own and captured them quickly.


    Luosang shivered for a bit when he slid his tongue into her hot and wet mouth. He had his hands around her face and he was kissing her with an intensity, as if he wanted to devour her alive.


    Luosangs lips were starting to feel sore and she was panting, breathless from the kiss.


    The sound of running water could be heard from the kitchen. She mustered the bit of rationality left in her and stuttered, Sister Lan shes still in the kitchen.


    Its ok, cant you hear the water running? Shes still washing the dishes, Nian Junting said as he kissed her with even more force.


    Luosang was like a little kitten buried in his chest.


    She couldnt help but kiss him back with passion.


    In the kitchen, Sister Lans chubby face was hot with embarrassment.


    The apartment was so small, even with the water running, she could hear their conversation.


    Young Master was getting good at sweet talking, she thought to herself, her heart was thumping quickly as well.


    The two of them were probably entangled in a hot mess right now on the sofa.


    It would be awkward for all of them if she walked out now.


    She had finished the dishes long ago, and she had nothing else to do in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she had left her phone outside.


    She wiped down the kitchen one more time and emerged from there after ten minutes.


    Luosang was still buried in Nian Juntings chest and her cheeks were rosy pink. Her eyes were watery as well and her lips look like they were freshly bitten.


    She looked like she was tormented.


    Sister Lan was worried.


    The two youngsters were too energetic and she was worried they wouldnt be able to hold themselves back harming the baby identally.


    Murong Cheng didnt know about such things but she ought to remind them as an elder.


    Youre done? You can go back first, Nian Junting had his beauty in his arms now and he didnt want Sister Lan around.


    Especially in such a small apartment, it was inconvenient for the two of them to do whatever they pleased.

 Chapter 712. A Few Female Colleagues of Hers Were Gawking at a Corner

    Chapter 712. A Few Female Colleagues of Hers Were Gawking at a Corner


    In fact, Sister Lan doesnt need toe here. Its inconvenient for her to travel between here and the vi, Luosang said.


    Are you saying that youve decided to move back to the vi? Nian Juntings eyes glowed. Luo, you see, weve just made peace


    I really cant Im pregnant. Ill be exhausted if I need to travel between the school and the vi every day. The vi is forty to fifty minutes away from my school. Besides, Su broke up with her boyfriend recently. Im a little worried about her. Luosang shook her head and said, Rx, I can take good care of myself.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment and agreed with her. Tianhu Vi was indeed too far away from her school. Ill buy arge apartment nearby, then we can move there. Ill be there with you until you graduate.


    Didnt you hear me say that Su just broke up with her boyfriend? Luosang replied helplessly. Well talk about it in a while. Also, summer vacation ising soon. Its not necessary to buy an apartment.


    Yan Su breaking up with her boyfriend isnt a big deal, said Nian Junting carelessly. Is it so bad that she might even kill herself? I believe that shes not that fragile. You see, when you broke up with me, I got through it alone, didnt I? I didnt even ask Xiao Si forpany.


    Shes a girl, and youre a guy. Luosang stood up. Im going out for a walk.


    Nian Junting immediately stood up. Im going with you.


    They spent about ten minutes strolling in the neighborhood. While observing the neighborhood, Nian Junting said, The property managementpany in charge of this area isnt doing a good job. The streetlights arent bright enough. Some lights are broken. They havent even fixed them.


    Luosang sighed. Arent all property managementpanies like that? Theyre all about saving money.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment with.a frown, then called Lu Kang. Find a way to rece the property managementpany of Sangsangs neighborhood within three days. Arrange a newpany for this area. Thispany is not doing its job here.


    Luosang was so surprised that she even stuttered, You dont-dont need to do that


    Of course I do, Nian Junting responded. We pay a property management fee every month. Some light bulbs are broken, but they didnt change them in a timely manner. Pregnant women, old people, or children might stumble here at night.


    But, how are you gonna rece thatpany? Luosang asked. And where are you going to find a newpany?


    You dont need to worry about that. One of my friends owned a public property managementpany. Ill talk to him. Nian Junting answered the questions carelessly, and then his phone rang.


    This time, it was Nian Xi calling. Brother, where are you? Nian Xiined. Sister Lan isnt home. I was on duty in your neighborhood, so I came here for dinner.


    Im not at home. Just make yourself some noodles, Nian Junting responded ndly, then ended the call.


    In Tianhu Vi, Nian Xi was looking at her phone screen angrily. How awful, she thought.


    Steward Wu walked over and said to her, Miss Nian, let me fix you some food. However, please dont me me if my food doesnt taste good.


    Dont bother. Ill just buy some food. Upset, Nian Xi got onto her police car. Then, she started the car and left the vi. Her stomach was growling, and she didnt know what to eat. Ever since she broke up with Feng Ji Chuan, she always felt that her apartment was so empty and quiet and cold when she went back alone. Thankfully, her brother had had a breakup as well. Otherwise, she would feel so pained at being the only lovelorn person.


    Atst, she bought a pancake near the police station. Once she entered the station, she saw a few female colleagues of hers gawking at a corner.

 Chapter 713. You Can Call Me Ning

    Chapter 713. You Can Call Me Ning


    What are you looking at? She looked over as well.


    There was a row of ck benches in the corner of the police station. A young, lean man was sitting upright in the corner. He was watching the television above him, and his side profile entuated his sharp features. His jawline was perfect, and he was wearing a white tracksuit. His glow seemed out of ce in a dingy ce like the police station.


    Nian Xi was shocked. She swallowed the pancake in her mouth and her lips hung slightly apart. He


    Nian Xi, you are finally here, a policewoman, Chen Shunhua, said. Someone brought him here. Apparently, he asked one our colleagues to bring him here when he saw him on patrol duty. I think he is mute. He doesnt respond to any of us. I thought he might be deaf, too, but Brother Zhou said that he might be looking for you.


    Forfor me? Nian Xi had an uneasy feeling about this.


    Chen Shunhua chuckled. I heard from Brother Zhou that when you brought him here thest timeyou groped his balls. Hes probably here to hold you responsible for what happened.


    Nian Xi was coughing now. Her face and neck were red.


    Chen Shunhua patted her back. Dont worry. I can understand. He is a really good-looking fe. If I were younger, I might have done the same too.


    Nian Xi wanted to bury herself in a hole. That had been an ident. Brother Zhou was such a bbermouth.


    Just as she was hesitating about approaching him, Jiang Yuning suddenly turned to look at her. When they made eye contact, he blinked quickly.


    He stood up and walked briskly over to her with hisnky body. Stopping right in front of her, he suddenly bent down, drawing his face closer to hers. When they were inches away, Nian Xi was enraptured by longshes, fluttering like the wings of a butterfly.


    She was in a daze watching him, and she forgot to back away when his handnded on the corner of her mouth.


    His hands were chilly, and when he touched her skin, she shivered and stepped backwards. She red at him and asked, What are you doing?


    Jiang Yuning blinked innocently and put his hand out in front of her. There was a speck of green onion on his finger. It must have been on her face after she ate that pancake.


    She breathed a sigh of relief. She was really nervous because of what Chen Shunhua had said.


    Why are you here? Dont tell me youre lost again, Nian Xi said unceremoniously.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head.


    Nian Xi brought a hand to her forehead. If you have such a terrible sense of direction, you should bring your phone. Where are the people who take care of you? Cant they find you with the tracking device in your watch?


    Jiang Yuning fished out a notepad and wrote quickly, They dont know Im out. They will look for me in the day.


    Nian Xi wanted to break down. Why did he have to spend the night here again?


    Are you counting on me to take you in again? Im not running a shelter, alright? Why didnt you go to another police station?


    Jiang Yuning blinked quickly and wrote, Because you are here.


    What did that mean? Was she familiar with him? He was making things sound too scandalous between them. They had only met once before.


    I dont think we know each other that well. I dont even know your name.


    What was the matter with this guy? Why did he always have to appear when she was in the worst of moods?


    Jiang Yuning stared at her for a while before writing again. You can call me Ning.

 Chapter 714. I Didnt Bother You. You Bumped into Me.

    Chapter 714. I Didn''t Bother You. You Bumped into Me.


    I didnt ask your name, alright? Nian Xi found him both funny and annoying. And, why ask me to call you Ning? It sounds so intimate.


    Jiang Yuning pressed his thin lips together and fell into silence.


    I need to work. Nian Xi waved a hand and said, Dont bother me. After saying that, she turned and walked into her office.


    Jiang Yuning spent a short while gazing at her back, then he silently followed behind her. Hearing his footsteps, Nian Xi turned back and then bumped straight into his chest. Her nose hurt, and her eyes were immediately filled with tears.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head to look at her. Teardrops sparkled in her dark eyes. The tears wet her eyshes and glistened like the ocean in sunlight. They even dazzled his eyes.


    Why are you still following me? Nian Xi felt so annoyed. I told you not to bother me.


    A slight trace of grievance shed in Jiang Yunings eyes as he wrote, I didnt bother you. You bumped into me.


    Would I have bumped into you if you werent following me? asked Nian Xi impatiently.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head. He looked like someone who had been treated badly. Nian Xi rubbed her own forehead. Looking at him, she even suffered a headache. She wanted to be hard-hearted to him, yet still, her heart couldnt help but soften. You cante to me every time youre lost, can you?


    Jiang Yuning silently raised his head to give her a nce. Nian Xi didnt know what to do. With no better choice, she sat behind her desk and started typing while eating. She could always sense a gaze that was fixed on her. She raised her head and found Jiang Yuning sitting on the couch in her office, staring at her pancake. Noticing that Nian Xi was looking at him, he blinked and then stiffly turned his eyes away.


    Dont tell me that you didnt even have dinner, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.


    Nian Xi pointed at the outside and said, Turn right at the entrance of the police station. Youll find a pancake stall. I bought this from there. Go.


    Jiang Yuning stayed motionless.


    Dont tell me that you have no money. Nian Xi couldnt help but frown.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    Alright, Ill lend you money for the pancake, but youll have to pay me back ten times more.


    Jiang Yunings eyes glowed slightly as he nodded. Nian Xi took out ten yuan and handed it to him. Jiang Yuning walked out with the cash. Nian Xi watched him leave, then lowered her head to continue typing. After finishing, she raised her head and found that 15 minutes had passed.


    Jiang Yuning still hadnte back.


    How long would it take to buy a pancake? He wasnt lost again, was he? Her heart missed a beat. She remembered Nian Junting had said that his assistant seemed to carry a gun, so she guessed that he might be working for the government. As a police officer, she figured that she needed to protect him, more or less. She hurriedly stood up and headed out of the police station.


    After two minutes of walking, she saw Jiang Yuning walking over, holding arge pancake. He carried another pancake in his other hand. He was so pretty that he looked like a walking piece of art instead of a man who was carrying two pancakes.


    You As he walked closer, Nian Xi clearly saw the pancakes in his hands. There were eggs, ham, potato shreds, and lettuce with those pancakes. The ten yuan that she gave him shouldnt have been enough for even one of these luxurious pancakes.


    Seeing Nian Xi, Jiang Yunings eyes glowed as he handed her the extra pancake.


    Can you buy so much with ten yuan? Nian Xi was confused.


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    Nian Xi couldnt believe it. I just bought one, with only an egg. But the stall owner charged me twelve.

 Chapter 715. You Should Take Responsibility for What You Did

    Chapter 715. You Should Take Responsibility for What You Did


    It was a middle-aged auntie making the pancakes. Nian Xi went forward and asked, Aunty, why did the price of your pancakes change? You charged me 12 yuan when I bought an egg pancake from you earlier. Why is it so cheap for him? Only 10 yuan for two deluxe pancakes?


    The auntie nced at Jiang Yuning behind her and said cheerfully, How could it be the same? He is so adorable and handsome. I am even willing to give him pancakes every day for free.


    Nian Xis face twitched. She said indignantly, Im pretty too!


    The auntie chuckled. After all, you are a girl and I dont swing that way. I didnt expect you to find such a good-looking boyfriend though. Ill give you a discount if you tell me youre his girlfriend the next time.


    She could only get a discount with his help? Nian Xi turned to look at Jiang Yuning. He shed a bright smile at her. His innocence could melt someones heart. Nian Xi felt a little lost in his eyes. Well, if she was the auntie, she would have done the same too.


    Hes not my boyfriend, Nian Xi rified.


    Oh. the auntie nodded her head. No discounts for you then.


    What a vain society! No big deal. Too bad the store owner wasnt a man. Nian XI walked towards the police station angrily. When she sat down at her desk, Jiang Yuning put a pancake on her table in front of her. What a waste to throw away a deluxe pancake. She picked up the pancake and started eating it. It was luxurious with all the extra toppings and ingredients.


    Chen Shunhua knocked on the door and said chirpily, Nian Xi, Old Li and I are going on patrol now. You can stay here and watch the station since your boyfriend is here.


    Nian Xis face was dark. She looked over at Jiang Yuning. He was munching on his pancake silently and didnt seem to have taken notice of anyone at the door. She was relieved, as she would have been embarrassed if he did.


    She walked over and whispered to Chen Shunhua, I told you he is not my boyfriend, so dont be ridiculous.


    Chen Shunhua wriggled her brows and said quietly, Well, you should take responsibility for what you did.


    She turned to leave and paused to look at Jiang Yuning before exiting the station. She wished that she was younger so that she could hit on him too.


    Nian Xi sighed.


    She was on shift that night at the station. If there were no arrests, she had nothing much to do. She started ying on her phone and ignored Jiang Yuning. After finishing his food, he stared out of the window in a daze.


    After twenty minutes on her phone, Nian Xi looked up and caught him in the same position. She was amazed that he could daydream for such a long time. She stood up and looked over to where he was looking; he was staring at the moon.


    What are you looking at?


    He was pulled back from his trance and he wrote, The moon.


    Nian Xi looked at the moon again. It was crescent-shaped that night and it was pretty. She didnt expect him to be such a romantic. She sighed and said, I wonder how bored and lonely Changer is on the moon.


    Like her, empty and meaningless.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her curiously and he frowned. He picked up his notepad to write something but stopped himself midway. He put his pen down and suddenly said with his sweet voice, There cant be living creatures on the moon. There is no water, no air and no atmosphere on the moon. With no atmosphere, the ultraviolet rays on the moon could heat the surface to over a hundred degrees on the days and drop to negative hundred degrees at night. There are all sorts ofets and asteroids crashing onto the surface of the moon as well, creating the craters that characterize the appearance.


    Nian Xi was stunned. It was the second time she heard him speak so much. He had a really sweet voice. It was just a little inappropriate for him to reason with her like this after she said something so whimsical.


    She didnt need to know the facts.


    Before he could tell her more about the Chinese astronautsnding on the moon, she quickly interrupted him saying, Enough, Im telling you about Changer. Shouldnt you continue the conversation about the Jade Rabbit and Hou Yi?


    Jiang Yuning blinked and wrote, Who is the Jade Rabbit and Hou Yi?


    Nian Xi was shocked. This man didnt know about the folk tales?


    She said to him, Hou Yi is a legendary person in ancient myths, and Changer is his wife. She was the most beautiful woman in her time. Legend says that there were ten suns in the past and he shot down nine


    Before she could finish, Jiang Yuning interrupted her saying, Thats not scientific. That must be the prism effect. When a ray of light passes through a prism, there will be a rainbow refracted, showing seven rays of light. The degree of refraction


    Alright, enough. Im not interested in that. Nian Xi was about to faint if she had to listen anymore. I already told you these are myths and folk stories. I now know why you dont know these stories. I would be crazy if I told you them.


    Jiang Yuning frowned sadly and wrote, Im telling you about science.


    Nian Xi sighed. You dont need to write when you talk about science. You speak quite fluently about it.


    Jiang Yuning was silent again.


    Nian Xi said, I think your girlfriend has to be a science maniac too. You two can discuss hypotheses and theories together. A normal woman would be driven mad by you.


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips. He looked like he wanted to say something but he lowered his head again.


    His hair was dark and thick. It reminded Nian Xi of Xiaosi. He looked like a sad puppy, just how Xiaosi looked when Nian Junting bullied it.


    She sighed as someone called out to her, Nian Xi,e out for a moment. Someone called the police and its a couple. The wife is saying that her husband hits her.


    Nian Xi walked out to the lobby. A couple was standing there. The womans face was disfigured with bruises, and the man was sitting on a chair beside her, his face bright red. Before she drew close, she could smell the alcohol on him.


    Police, he hit me! He turned me into this! The woman burst into tears when she saw Nian Xi.


    The man pounded on the desk angrily when he heard her and said, So what if I hit you? Dont think I didnt see you. I saw a man sending you home!


    Nian Xi frowned and mmed the table too and scolded the man angrily as she pointed at him. What are you mming? This is the police station, not your home. You better watch yourself. No matter the reason behind you hitting someone, you are in the wrong for using violence in the first ce


    The man was intoxicated and agitated. He started scolding Nian Xi too. You b*tch! You think Im afraid of you because youre the police? Ive never been afraid of anyone!


    Nian Xi was furious. I think youre really drunk, so you will have to stay here at the station before you sober up.

 Chapter 716. I Dont Want to Show My Back to Him. I Only Want to Show It to You.

    Chapter 716. I Don''t Want to Show My Back to Him. I Only Want to Show It to You.


    After saying that, she picked up the handcuffs and put them on that man. As the handcuffs were being put on his wrists, he insanely grabbed a stool from nearby, raised it, and swung it at Nian Xi.


    How dare you put handcuffs on me! No one ever dared to do that in my life!


    Nian Xi was rather close to that man, and she didnt see the attacking. When the man swung the stool at her, she couldnt react at all and could only watch the stool falling toward her head. But suddenly, a white figure shielded her.


    Thud! The stoolnded on Jiang Yunings back. Nian Xi turned and saw a sight frown on his pretty face. However, his back remained perfectly straight.


    That man raised the stool again. Before the stool fell on Jiang Yunings back for the second time, Nian Xi pushed Jiang Yuning away and prepared to rush up to that man. However, that man suddenly began twitching, and soon fell to the ground and fainted.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Her colleagues, who hade over to help, were stunned as well. Does he have epilepsy? Or a myocardial infarction?


    Nian Xi had no answer. At the moment, she had no spare attention for that man as she hurriedly turned to look at Jiang Yuning. She found that he was holding a pen cap-sized thing. This is If she was right, Jiang Yuning had touched that man with this small thing just now.


    Seeing the confused look on her face, Jiang Yuning exined with simple worlds, Weapon. Hes tasered and fainted. Hell wake up in a while.


    Nian Xi was dumbfounded. She had served as a police officer for years but had never seen such a tiny taser. Where did you get this? Nian Xi stuttered. Its so powerful.


    Jiang Yuning nced at her, then abruptly handed her the tiny taser.


    Why? Nian Xi paused.


    He lowered his head and wrote, Im giving it to you, for your protection.


    Nian Xi didnt take it, as she felt that it was way too valuable. You keep it to protect yourself. I know how to fight. I just didnt think that man would be bold enough to attack me in the police station.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, then continued writing, Its alright. I have many self-defense weapons.


    The corners of Nian Xis mouth twitched as she wondered where on earth this weird guy was from.


    Oi, what happened to my husband? Hes not dead, is he? That mans wife was frightened at that point. She only wanted the police to keep her husband locked up for a while, but she didnt want him to die.


    One of Nian Xis colleagues asked with concern, Nian Xi, should we take him to a hospital?


    Just bring him inside and lock him up. Hes fine, only fainted. Hell wake up soon. Nian Xi waved a hand. He attacked a police officer, so hell be locked in here for at least ten days.


    Great, please just lock him up. That mans wife sighed with relief and then quickly left.


    After dealing with the case, Nian Xi recalled that Jiang Yuning had suffered a hit just now. She hurriedly said to him, Let me see your back.


    Before she touched him, he took two steps backward, looking at her with a slightly shy expression. Nian Xi had no choice but to ask her new male colleague, Li, toe over to help.


    Jiang Yuning nced at Li, then frowned and wrote a note to Nian Xi, I dont want to show my back to him. I only want to show it to you.


    Nian Xis cheeks burned for an unknown reason.


    Xi, I think you need to do it yourself, said Li in a meaningful tone.


    Nian Xi bit her lip, turned to Jiang Yuning, and said, Im a girl, and Li is a guy.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and wrote, Ill only show my back to you. After writing that note, he even looked at Li with vignce.


    Xi, should I disappear? Li walked away while tittering.


    Nian Xi felt so awkward, especially when Jiang Yuning unzipped his top in front of her. At that time, his ear tips even reddened, as if she were doing something inappropriate to him.

 Chapter 717. Electric Current, Connected, Physics Reaction

    Chapter 717. Electric Current, Connected, Physics Reaction


    He removed his jacket, revealing a white T-shirt underneath. Before he could lift the hem of his shirt to remove it, Nian Xi stopped him. You dont need to take off your shirt.


    Jiang Yuning nodded and lifted the shirt to reveal his back.


    His back was skinny and fair, like it belonged to someone who stayed indoors most of the time. It was weirdly pale, but now it was adorned with red patches tainting the nk canvas. She touched the red marks with her fingers, and he flinched.


    Painful? Nian Xi felt bad. If the chair hadnded on her, it could have seriously injured her. She was a girl, after all.


    Jiang Yuning turned to look at her, his eyes reflecting hurt and protest. After a while, he wrote, Ticklish.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Why would it be ticklish? Was he easily tickled?


    He wrote again, Tingling.


    She was silent.


    He flipped his notepad to write, Electric current, connected, physics reaction.


    She said nothing. She was blushing now.


    What on earth? What physics reaction was he talking about? This was more like a biological reaction.


    In conclusion, hed felt a surge of electricity course through his body. Wasnt that like a scene from a romance novel?


    She coughed lightly. Youre injured. Let me apply some ointment for you. I have some in the office.


    They often had minor scrapes and cuts at the station, so they were well equipped.


    Nian Xi retrieved the ointment and gestured towards Xiao Li. Come. Apply this for him.


    Instead of walking over, Xiao Li shouted from a distance, He doesnt even want me to look at him. Would he allow me to apply it for him?


    Everyone else in the rest area burst intoughter.


    Jiang Yuning raised a Post-It note to her face. Ill only let you touch me.


    She didnt reply. Touch? Who cared about touching him?


    She had no choice but to oblige, since hed gotten injured because of her. She brought him into her office and squeezed a dollop of ointment onto her palms. She proceeded to rub it on his wounds forcefully.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and didnt make a sound.


    As she continued to apply the ointment, her eyes couldnt help but rove over the rest of his body. His spine was delicate and elegant, unlike most men at the police station. Whenever her colleagues changed in front of her, she could see their fat bellies and their thick necks. It was not a good look.


    She had seen Feng Jichuans torso before, too. He was muscr and sturdy, and his copper skin and scars made him look like a real man. She used to think that made him look even stronger and manlier than he was, but it was the first time that shed appreciated an elegant body like this. Especially his waisthe was skinny, lean, without a single fold of fat.


    She allowed her eyes to roam further down. Although he was covered with his ck tracksuit, she could still make out his perky buttocks. She hadnt expected him to be so curvy.


    Nian Xi recalled the time shed touched him there. Damn It was so soft.


    Just as she was thinking about what had happened then, Jiang Yuning suddenly turned, and her handsnded on his chest unknowingly. His chest was oddly muscr, and she felt the contours beneath her palms.


    Nian Xis mouth hung open. She had never touched a mans chest before. Shed never even touched Feng Jichuans chest when they were still together. She was too shy to do that.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned as well. He looked down at her hands on his chest.


    Her hands were a little rough with bits of calluses, probably because she used guns. With her hands on his chest, he felt the surge of electricity course through his body again.


    There was that same bubbling heat in the pit of his stomach as when shed touched him thest time.

 Chapter 718. If Only She Could Let Her Hand Stay There

    Chapter 718. If Only She Could Let Her Hand Stay There


    He suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry and itchy. Nian Xi realized what happened, then felt the blood rush to her face. I was applying the medicine to your back. Why did you turn around? she yelled grumpily.


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly. He forgot why he had turned around just now, so he turned back. As Nian Xi started spreading the medicine on his back again, Jiang Yuning vaguely remembered that he had turned around to tell Nian Xi that she pressed his wounds too heavily and made it hurt too much. But now, he couldnt feel the pain anymore. All he could feel was the numbness and itchiness on his chest.


    He felt a little empty when she took her hand away from his chest. If only she could let her hand stay there. Thinking about that, he turned around again. Learning from thest time, Nian Xi immediately pulled her hands back. She was a little angry. Why dont you just stand there? Why are you moving around?


    Jiang Yuning nced at her hand and turned back around disappointedly, like a puppy that didnt get the bone that it wanted.


    It was finally done. While Jiang Yuning was putting his clothes back on, Nian Xi put away the medicine and clicked her tongue silently. His chest felt pretty nice, she thought.


    For the next few hours, Nian Xi was on duty. Nothing strange happened during that time. At 11pm, her shift was done. Nian Xi prepared to leave, but found that Jiang Yuning had fallen asleep in her chair. Even though he was asleep, his back was still straight. Only his head was a little tilted.


    She walked to him. A part of her wanted to sneak away. However, thinking that he had been injured because of her earlier, she sighed, then walked over and woke him up. She still didnt have the heart to leave him there alone.


    He opened his sleepy eyes. Seeing his brush-like, curling eyshes, Nian Xi had a bright light sh across her eyes. That guy looked so tasty when he just woke up. She calmed herself down, then said, Can you stay here for tonight? Theres a bed.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, then quickly stood up and followed closely behind Nian Xi. He was probably aware that she was about to get off work. Nian Xi even wanted to die. It was sote today. She really didnt want to drive him all the way to Tianhu Vi. The vi was too far away from the police station. However, it was a little inappropriate for her to bring him home, as he was a guy and she was a girl


    Youre a just a lost man. Arent you demanding too much? Also, why do you only speak when talking about science? Cant you talk a little at other times, too? Nian Xi felt so tired. What woman can possibly stand you? Is your mouth for eating only?


    Jiang Yuning frowned, thought for a moment, then lowered his head and wrote, Mouth is for eating.


    Nian Xi was so angry. She took away his pen and notebook, saying, Lets see how youre gonna write another word.


    Jiang Yuning stayed silent. Then, Nian Xi tore the notebook into pieces and walked out of the police station with her head held high. Jiang Yuning quietly followed her. She got into the car, and he did the same. Nian Xi had no other choice but to bring him back to her apartment.


    Her apartment had three bedrooms and was a great mess. Seven or eight pairs of shoes were thrown in a disordered pile near the door. The living room was filled with all kinds of snack packages and fruit peels. The floor hadnt been cleaned in many days. Jiang Yuning walked to the door, then knitted his delicate eyebrows together slightly.


    Nian Xi was exhausted. She pointed at one bedroom and said, Youll sleep in that room tonight. The quilts are in the closet. Take whichever you like. Im going to take a shower and then sleep. Dont disturb me. After saying that, she walked into her own bedroom and closed the door. She took a quick shower, then threw herself onto the bed and fell asleep.

 Chapter 719. When Had Her Place Ever Been This Clean?

    Chapter 719. When Had Her ce Ever Been This Clean?


    The next day, she was woken up by the doorbell at about eight in the morning. Who is it? She walked over to the door unhappily. Nian Qingyun was on her doorstep.


    What are you doing here, Dad? Nian Xi was stunned, since she had just woken up.


    I was around for some errands so I decided to drop by and visit you. Nian Qingyun stepped into the house, shocked to see the floors spick and span.


    Every time he had dropped by previously, her house had been a mess. It was always cluttered and there would be no space for him to even take his shoes off.


    It was starkly different today, so much so that he thought he was in the wrong house. Even the tables were tidy and neat, and bags of trash were lined up neatly against the wall.


    He had tried countless times to get his daughter to clean up her ce, but it was to no avail. He didnt me her. He could understand her routine given that she was a police officer.


    Im impressed. You know how to tidy up your house now. Nian Qingyun nodded his head meaningfully. Its very nice and clean, better than the professional cleaners at my workce. His son drove him up the wall, so thank goodness that he had a sweet, darling daughter.


    Nian Xi thought it was ridiculous. Her ce was clean? Was he getting old? Perhaps he couldnt see as well as before.


    She hadnt cleaned her ce in nearly half a month. She quickly noticed the bags of trash neatly lined against the wall and the polished floors.


    Was this really her house? When had her ce ever been this clean? She was a little confused.


    Nian Qingyun opened the shoe cab and said with relief, Not bad at all. Seems like youve tried to improve yourself after breaking up with Jichuan. Even the shoes were ced neatly in rows on their shelves.


    If you keep this up, you wont have to worry about being left single. Nian Qingyun retrieved a pair of slippers.


    Nian Xi watched him in confusion before she finally remembered the man she had brought home the night before.


    Had he done all this the night before? Impossible. Was he that good at cleaning up?


    Wait, he was still sleeping in the bedroom. Nian Qingyun could never find out about this. If he did


    At this juncture, the guest bedroom door flew open, and Jiang Yuning walked out. His hair was ck and messy, and he wasnt wearing a shirt. His eyes were squinted and he looked like he was still dreaming.


    Nian Qingyun was speechless. Was he just old and confused? Who was this topless man in his daughters home?


    Nian Xi was shocked. Did he really have to appear right then? She was surely going to be scolded by Nian Qingyun. Dad


    Nian Xi, Nian Qingyun shouted angrily. Who is he?


    Jiang Yuning was finally woken up by the angry shout, and his eyes fluttered wide open. He froze halfway to the bathroom and stared at Nian Qingyun with his innocent eyes.


    Nian Qingyun was a little stunned when he took a good look at him, but he continued shouting angrily as he walked towards Jiang Yuning. Who the hell are you


    Nian Xi was worried that her dad would be violent, so she quickly stopped him. Dad, dont be mistaken. Im not in that kind of rtionship with him


    Nian Qingyuns face was red with anger. How dare you lie to me that you dont have anything to do with this man?! Why would he be walking around your ce like this then? Do you think Im blind or just stupid?


    Jiang Yuning looked at the two of them innocently. He looked like a precious porcin doll as he stoodpletely still.

 Chapter 720. Whos Your Dad? Watch Your Mouth.

    Chapter 720. Who''s Your Dad? Watch Your Mouth.


    Nian Qingyun even wanted to kill him, but his daughter wouldnt let him. I get it. You broke up with Ji Chuan for him, didnt you? You two were doing fine. No wonder you suddenly refused to marry Ji Chaun. I should have known it. How could you do this? Is this fair to Ji Chuan? Look at him. He looks like a boy toy. A gust of wind could even blow him to the ground. Only a man like Ji Chuan is a real man. His body shape can tell you that. Nian Qingyun used to be a soldier, too. Even though he was middle-aged now, he still kept fit. He disliked those weak-looking men like Jiang Yuning the most.


    Dad, there really is nothing going on between him and me. Nian Xi felt ufortable when her father mentioned Feng Ji Chuan. Hes lost, and he went to our police station. I brought him back because he had nowhere to go.


    Nian Qingyun sneered. Couldnt you find a more real excuse? Your police station isrge. Couldnt you find a ce there for him to get through the night? Do you think Ive never been in a police station before? If what you said is true, youd have to bring every lost person back home, wouldnt you?


    Nian Xi opened her mouth wide. She admitted that no one would believe what she said, but what she said was the truth.


    Look at this silly boy. He hasnt even greeted me yet. The more Nian Qingyun looked at the goofy-looking Jiang Yuning, the angrier he got. Look at him. Hes not a man-whore, is he?


    Nian Xis face turned dark. Dad, am I that kind of person?


    The more Nian Qingyun thought about it, the more he tended to believe hed guessed correctly. So, he even wanted to eat Jiang Yuning alive. Nian Xi, you are a police officer. I couldnt have imagined that youd actually do something like this. What have I been telling you since you were little? You need to restrain yourself. Ive been giving you too much freedom, and your mother never restrained you. Move back home right now. Nian Qingyun grabbed Nian Xi angrily and headed toward the door.


    As he had gone merely a few steps, his wrist was suddenly grasped. Nian Qingyun turned back and saw Jiang Yuning staring at him coldly and alertly. Anger surged up to his head. He clenched his fist and prepared to make a move. The sharp-eyed Nian Xi saw Jiang Yuning take out that pen cap-like little thing from his trouser pocket. She hurriedly freed herself from Nian Qingyun, then grabbed Jiang Yunings arm and said, Calm down, calm down. Hes my father. Dont knock him out, too.


    Nian Qingyuns fist paused in the air. At first, he thought Nian Xi was talking to him, but then he realized that she was actually talking to that boy. He almost vomited blood. Him knock me out? How ridiculous. I can put him down with one single punch, Nian Qingyun yelled.


    Jiang Yuning ignored him as if he hadnt heard him talking and nodded at Nian Xi obediently, then put the little weapon back into his pocket. He wanted to write, but recalled that Nian Xi had taken away his notebook and pen, so he moved his lips, talking to her with the simplest words that he coulde up with. Dont hit dad. He wanted to say, your dad, but as he didnt want to talk too much, he omitted the word your.


    Hearing that, Nian Xi was stunned.


    Nian Qingyun was immediately infuriated. Whos your dad? Watch your mouth! Ill never let a man-whore be my son-inw. Ill never ept you, not even when I die! Stay away from Nian Xi! Dont let me see you again, or Ill beat you up every time I see you!


    Dad, dont misunderstand. He doesnt talk much. He just left out some words. Nian Xi didnt know him well enough, but she did know that he could bezy when talking.

 Chapter 721. Did You Know that Your Girl Has Found Herself a Gigolo?

    Chapter 721. Did You Know that Your Girl Has Found Herself a Gigolo?


    All right, enough of this. You have to end this in front of me right away. Nian Qingyuns eyes were bulging with anger.


    Jiang Yuning looked at him and said to Nian Xi, I dont like him.


    You think I care if you like me? Nian Qingyun was clutching his chest now. He felt a wave of pain hit him.


    What had he done in his previous life to deserve this? He had a son who drove him up the wall, and he would kill himself before would he allow someone like this to marry his daughter. He would have a heart attack because of the two.


    Im calling your mother. Ill let her talk some sense into you. Nian Qingyun thought it was a good opportunity to call Murong Chen, as it had been a while since hest talked to her, so he quickly dialed her number.


    The moment the call connected, he quickly said in an usatory tone, Murong Chen, look at how you raised your daughter


    Im sorry, Chen is changing. It was a mans voice over the line. Nian Qingyun was shocked, feeling faint once again. It was as if someone had run a knife through his body.


    Murong Chen was changing, and a man picked up the call while she was doing so. It was extremely early in the morningwhat had they been doing?


    Pass the phone to Murong Chen, now! Nian Qingyun bellowed in anger.


    Nian Xi was shocked. She could see that his face had turned pale now. He looked like he was about to have a stroke. Dad, are you okay?


    Nian Qingyun ignored her and walked to the edge of the room. After a while, he could hear Murong Chen in the background. Minghan, who is it?


    Your ex-husband.


    Nian Qingyun felt his temples throb, his heart aching. How had he turned into her ex-husband? They had been married for decades, but he still couldnte to terms with the fact that they had split up.


    Nian Qingyun, what do you want so early in the morning? Murong Chen said with irritation, finally on the line.


    You know how early it is? Nian Qingyun started berating her. What are you doing with a man so early in the morning? What a shameless woman! Youre past your fifties, you know?


    Murong Chen was annoyed. I already divorced you. You ought to stay out of my business. What do you think we were doing? We slept together, of course. Whats so shameless about that? Im single, unlike you, who was fooling around as a still married man!


    Nian Qingyun was huffing and puffing. It stung when she said that they had spent the night together. How could his wife sleep with someone else? Ive realized my mistake, and it was one time. I havent made any more mistakes.


    How could you ever forget eating sh*t? Youre sh*t to me now, you know that? Murong Chen said harshly. If youre calling to berate me, Im going to hang up. I cant be bothered to


    Wait, of course now, Nian Qingyun said hastily, Im calling about our daughter. Did you know that your girl has found herself a gigolo? Youre not educating her well, too busy on your own dates perhaps


    Nian Xi was about to break down. Dad, hes not a gigolo, okay? Dont listen to him, Mom!


    You hear that? Nian Qingyun continued. Shes really protective over that boy, too. I dropped by to visit her this morning just to see a naked man roaming around in her house. Its preposterous. It wouldnt be so bad if he was a decent man, but this guy is far from that. I have no idea where he came from. He wouldnt even look me in the eye, and hes extremely rude and disrespectful. Hes a good-for-nothing guy.


    Nian Xi covered her face. Dad, hes wearing pants, all right?

 Chapter 722. You Need to Step over My Dead Body Before You Get Together with Him

    Chapter 722. You Need to Step over My Dead Body Before You Get Together with Him


    Nian Qingyun ignored herpletely but said angrily, You get over here now and teach your daughter how to behave. What shes doing is awful. Im not against her finding a new boyfriend, but it cant be an indecent man. Also, your son has broken up with his girlfriend, too. Hes a thirty-year-old man but still not married. My army friends have all be grandpas long ago. Its all because you, as their mother, didnt do your duty. After saying that, he angrily ended the call. And then, he suddenly fell into silence and walked to the balcony. He lit a cigarette and looked at the sky with a sad face.


    Nian Xi was going to use him, but seeing him suddenly fall into depression, she couldnt bear to say awful words to him. He might not be a good man, but still, he was her father. To divert her fathers attention, Nian Xi had no choice but to say to him, Dad, werent you talking about me just now? Why did you suddenly stop?


    Nian Qingyun turned and looked at Nian Xi, who looked so much like Murong Cheng, feeling heartburn. He still remembered how happy his life was back when he and Murong Cheng just had the two children. However, he made that stupid mistake because of Jiang Qifei.


    Recently, he had learned what kind of person Jiang Qifei really was and regretted it so badly. He couldnt even believe how blind he was back then. If only he could turn the clock back. If that thing hadnt happened, his life would be so much better. But now, his son often made him angry, and his daughter did the same, and after all that suffering, his ex-wife tortured him. He felt that his life was really too harsh.


    Dont talk to me. Tell that boy to leave. Tell him not to show up in front of me again. Nian Qingyun was now full of grievances that he could not vent. You need to step over my dead body before you get together with him.


    Nian Xi felt a little speechless. Its not that serious she thought. As she was thinking, her phone rang in her room. She hurriedly answered the call. It was Murong Cheng calling. Nian Xi, who are you with? Murong Cheng sounded serious as well. Your dad said that youre with a man-whore


    Mom, Dad doesnt know. How can you believe him? Im not with anyone


    How can you let a man walk in your apartment nakedly then? Murong Cheng was a little worried as well. Xi, I know that you havent forgotten Ji Chuan and that you do love him. There must be some other reason that made you break up with him. But, you cant give up on yourself and be with just a random guy


    Mom, I swear, its just a male friend of mine staying at my ce for one night. We slept in two different rooms. He came out to use the bathroom with his upper body bare, and Dad just saw him


    Its still wrong. Youre a girl and hes a guy. How can you let a guy stay in your home


    My brother has met him. You can ask him about him. Please stop nagging me. I didnt do anything wrong, anyway. Nian Xi was nearly drowned by her mothers nagging, so she directly ended the call.


    When she walked out of her room, Jiang Yuning had already put his shirt on. Nian Qingyun was standing on the balcony, ring at him while smoking. Nian Xi suffered a headache, wondering why Jiang Yunings people hadnte to pick him up.


    Right when she was having that thought, a knock at the door was heard. Nian Xis eyes glowed, thinking that maybe God had heard her prayer. She hurriedly answered the door. As she expected, the two people who had picked Jiang Yuning up thest time were standing out there.


    You finally showed up. Please take him away, she said to them.


    Were sorry, the elegant man said apologetically.


    Jiang Yuning had seen them, too, and frowned slightly.


    Nian Xi gave a bitter smile and said, Why do you have to wait until the morning to find out that hes missing? Couldnt you just check on him in his room at night? You know that he has a poor sense of direction and that he gets lost very easily.

 Chapter 723. People Were Going to Misunderstand

    Chapter 723. People Were Going to Misunderstand


    Were really sorry. Well be more careful next time. The middle-aged man bowed to her and said to Jiang Yuning, We should get going now.


    Nian Qingyun mistook the man as Jiang Yunings father and stepped forward angrily. Is this your son? Im telling you, dont let him near my daughter again. I dont want a man like him as my son-inw.


    How could someone as weak as Jiang Yuning protect his daughter? How dare he sleep over at a girls ce without being engaged or meeting the parents yet? He was definitely not from a decent family.


    The man who had a build like Vin Diesel next to them looked grim, and he stepped forward and stared down at Nian Qingyun, then said in a threatening tone, Be careful with your words. I wont allow you to defame our Mister like that.


    Nian Qingyun was shocked. He figured that Jiang Yuning had to be of some importance. He still didnt like the boy, as his personality was too entric. Do you know who youre speaking to?


    He had seen all sorts of things before, so he wasnt afraid of a man who was bigger than him.


    Can I speak with you privately, Mr. Nian? the middle-aged man smiled ceremoniously.


    Nian Qingyun hesitated but walked out with the middle-aged man. Nian Xi couldnt hear what they were saying, but they had a short conversation before Nian Qingyun shook his hand and they both smiled at each other.


    Nian Xi thought it was ridiculous. What was going on?


    After a while, Nian Qingyun walked back to them and extended his hand towards Jiang Yuning. Nian Xi was scared that Jiang Yuning didnt see his gesture, so she quickly reminded him, My dad wants to shake your hand.


    Jiang Yuning paused, and his eyesnded on Nian Qingyun, who shook his hand lightly.


    After releasing his hand, Jiang Yuning walked over to Nian Xi and said softly, My back hurts, after your massage.


    What was he saying this early in the morning?! People were going misunderstand. Nian Xi could feel the heat of Nian Qingyuns stare.


    She quickly added, You were injured. Of course, I had to use some force on it.


    But I dont mind it, Jiang Yuning grinned, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the electrocution rod. He then handed it over to Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Youre giving it to me?


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head.


    You should hold on to it. Nian Xi shook her head. I know martial arts, but you cant defend yourself.


    I have many other gadgets like this, he whispered softly.


    Nian Xi epted his gift after he reassured her. She had born witness to the prowess of the small equipment. She was often involved in dangerous situations, so it wouldnt hurt to have something like this to protect herself.Read more chapters at


    Jiang Yuning smiled when she epted his gift, then took his leave with the group of escorts. When the elevator door closed, Nian Qingyun said through gritted teeth, Nian Xi, how could you lie to me that theres nothing going on between you two


    Dad, he took a hit for me when a drunkard made a scene at the stationst night. I just applied some balm on his wounds. Nian Xi had no more energy left to exin herself further.


    Fine, but what about that token of love? Nian Qingyun pointed at the item in her hands. They were exchanging flirtatious looks right in front of him. Did they forget that he was still around?


    Nian Xi frowned and waved the little rod, Dad, do you know what this is? The drunkardst night passed out when he touched this rod. I didnt want you to make a fool out of yourself. Forget about fighting him.

 Chapter 724. She Kicked Him Off of the Bed

    Chapter 724. She Kicked Him Off of the Bed


    Unexpectedly, Nian Qingyun didnt argue with her but nced at her with aplicated look, saying, I dont care what has happened between you, but you should keep a distance from him. Im saying this for your own good. You cant afford to mess around with that man.


    Nian Xi recalled that Nian Qingyun had given Nian Junting a simr warning once and got curious. Dad, where is he from? What did that man say to you just now? Why did your attitude suddenly be weird? You were polite to him. Does he work for the government?


    I cant tell you too much. Just listen to me. Besides, he seems to be entric. Hes not the right one for you, Nian Qingyun warned his daughter seriously and then left.


    Nian Xi was left confused, but then she pondered and felt that she had nothing to do with that man, anyway. She decided not to think so much. However, she felt guilty when seeing her perfectly clean apartment. That man was so good at cleaning. Even professional people couldnt do it as well as he did. If he ever got lost again, Nian Xi would still consider bringing him back.


    Luosangs apartment.


    Luosang had an optional course at ten that morning. She was in no rush to get up and sleptte. Since she didnt get up, Nian Junting didnt go to work, either. He stayed in bed and put his arm around her. For a very long time, he hadnt gotten to see her sleeping in bed when he opened his eyes in the morning. He propped his head up with an elbow on the pillow and looked at her. Sometimes, he fiddled with her hair, and other times, he kissed her cheeks. It was simple and nice at first, but after a couple of kisses, he started losing control of his body. For a man, sexual desire was always the strongest when he got up every morning.


    Luosangs eyes were closed, but she wasnt in a deep sleep. She could still feel things. She felt that Nian Junting was kissing her, but then, she felt something not so right. She opened her eyes, turned, and found her own hand heading south. She hadpletely underestimated how shameless he could be.


    She blinked and then abruptly threw herself into his arms. Husband She rarely called him that so sexily. Boiling blood gushed straight into Nian Juntings brain.


    Luo, call me that again. Nian Junting slightly tightened his arm that was around her waist. He didnt dare to press her too hard but only brought her slightly closer to him.


    Husband, I love you. Luosang turned and leaned on his chest.


    Nian Junting could never survive that. He lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers. Surprisingly, his woman suddenly became so passionate. It seemed that they had indeed been parted for too long. If she wasnt pregnant, he would merge into one with her immediately.


    Luosang kissed him back deeply and pulled out her hands to stroke his chest. Nian Junting kissed her harder and harder, more and more deeply. He even wanted to swallow her entirely. His body suffered a much greater pain than he had ever suffered. At that moment, Luosang suddenly covered her belly with both hands and let out a moan.


    Whats wrong? Nian Junting took fright as he thought that he had gotten too excited and hurt her.


    I dont know, it hurts. Luosang knitted her brows and wore a painful look on her face.


    Nian Junting immediately sat up and put on his pants in a hurry. Right at that moment, Luosang suddenly kicked his butt. She was too excited and failed to restrain her strength, so as a result, she kicked Nian Junting directly off of the bed. Hearing the loud thud, she guiltily and hurriedly sneaked into the bathroom.

 Chapter 725. He Should Have Held Himself Back More Now That She Was Pregnant

    Chapter 725. He Should Have Held Himself Back More Now That She Was Pregnant


    Xu Luosang, Nian Junting picked himself up as he moaned in pain. His handsome face was contorted in anger. He decided to chase after her as she slipped away.


    Luosang shut the bathroom door quickly and turned the lock. Nian Junting pounded on the door loudly. He wanted to skin her alive. His little Junting was torturing him.


    His desire had reached a peak after her performance.


    Xu Luosang, open the door now. I feel miserable. Nian Juntings knees and arms hurt, especially his lower abdomen.


    I cant help you, Im pregnant, Luosang was chuckling inside the bathroom. She could imagine his agony.


    Too bad for him. He should have held himself back more now that she was pregnant.


    Donte out for the rest of your life then, Nian Junting said grumpily.


    Hey back on the bed and tried to hold himself together.


    As he was enduring his pain, Murong Chen called him and said, You said you met one of your sisters male friends? Nian Qingyun went to your sisters ce in the morning, and he was going crazy when he found out that a man was staying over at her ce. I asked Nian Xi about it, and she told me that you knew the man.


    Nina Junting sat upright, his expression looked sour. Who? Except for Jichuan, I dont know any other man in her life. Is she crazy? How could she bring over a man at night? Thats preposterous.


    She said that you know him. Your dad called him a gigolo so he must be very good looking. Murong Chen had a headache.


    Her son broke up a while back and now her daughter seems like she was in a questionable rtionship. It was exhausting being a mother.


    I Oh wait, could it be that little brat? Nian Junting frowned.


    Who? Which family is he from? How is his character? His looks? I wont ept him if he isnt good-looking.


    Nian Junting frowned. Hes quite a peculiar boy, he doesnt care for me at all. He ignored me when I tried to speak to him. I think he is a mute, and I dont think I can ept him.


    Hes so unimpressive? Murong Chen was a little disappointed.


    Yeah, youll definitely have a headache if Nian Xi gets together with him.


    Seems like I have to quickly introduce someone to Nian Xi. Murong Chen was getting worried now. Im going to ask around for any eligible bachelors.


    Go ahead.


    He had a child now, and he wouldnt mind if Nian Xi started looking for her own romance too.


    After ten minutes, Luosang emerged from the bathroom. Nian Juntings active volcano had already erupted with his own help.


    He was still frustrated, and just as he moved, Luosang said quickly, I am carrying a child now, and you shouldnt be careless. Dont hurt our baby.


    Nian Junting gritted his teeth, Dont you think thats a little much? How could you kick me off the bed? That really hurt.


    It was a small lesson for you. You should watch yourself now that Im pregnant, Luosang grunted.


    Nian Junting was extremely frustrated.


    The doctor had told him that they shouldnt sleep together for the first three months of pregnancy. How was he going to bear the rest of the time?


    Although it was a good thing that she was pregnant, it was torture for him.


    At ten in the morning, Jiang Qifei dolled herself up and drove her red Ferrari to the shopping mall. As she parked, a ck car suddenly pulled up in front of her.


    Two big men and a fat old woman mored out.


    Jiang Qifei was horrified when she saw them.

 Chapter 726. Jiang Qifei Began Trembling with Fear

    Chapter 726. Jiang Qifei Began Trembling with Fear


    Jiang Qifei had never met her before but had seen photos of her two sons in Liao Qiulongs phone. Her photos had appeared in some magazines as well.


    Jiang Qifei clearly remembered that Liao Qiulongs wife, Wang Ping, was sixty-eight years old. Although her fatness made her look younger than her real age, she did not know how to make herself look good. With the clothes that she was wearing, her waist and legs looked huge, and her face looked like a giant pancake. Thankfully, her hair was not gray.


    Seeing the three people show up together, Jiang Qifei immediately had a bad feeling. She turned, tempted to run, but ended up being pressed up against her sports car by Liao Qiulongs two sons.


    Wang Ping walked over, spent some time looking at her from head to toe, then nced at the luxurious car. Afterwards, she said infuriatingly, What a little fox. When did your dad buy me such an expensive car? Its worth millions.


    Madam, do you have some kind of misunderstanding? I dont know you, said Jiang Qifei uneasily.


    You dont know us? Liao Qiulongs elder son sneered, Why didnt you tell my father that you didnt know us when you seduced him? Why didnt you say that when you slept with my father? Youre such a slut. Youre over fifty, yet you can still do something like that. Since you like to seduce people so much, Ill let you have enough of it today!


    After saying that, he pped Jiang Qifei on the face.


    He was tall and strong. The p made Jiang Qifei dizzy, making her head hit the car door.


    When she recovered from the dizziness, Liao Qiulongs younger son rushed over, grasped her hair, pping her several times.


    Watching, Wang Ping felt it wasnt enough. As her two sons were holding Jiang Qifei down, she came up and kicked her a few times.


    Jiang Qifei was no match for the three of them. In a short while, she became defenseless, and tasted blood from her own mouth. She murmured, begging for help, but there were only a few cars in the parking lot. asionally, a few cars drove past them, but no one had the courage to try to stop Wang Ping and her sons.


    Finally, they stopped pping her. She thought it was the end, but she was wrong. Liao Qiulongs two sons began punching and kicking her.


    Please, please stop, please, I wont do it ever again Jiang Qifei couldnt take any more of it.


    She had always lived a good life. When did she ever suffer something like this?


    Strip her. Since she loves to seduce men so much, let every man see her, Wang Ping ordered.


    Jiang Qifei began trembling with fear, hurriedly gripping her own clothes.


    She couldnt take that kind of humiliation.


    However, she was all alone. How could she ever win over these three people?


    Before long, the three ripped off all her clothes.


    Wang Ping was even recording it with her phone.


    No! Please, please give me my clothes back! Jiang Qifei had ever experienced something like this. She almost copsed.


    If her daughter and other families knew about this, she wouldnt be able to face them the rest of her life.


    A woman like you doesnt need clothes. Liao Qiulongs eldest son didnt give the clothes back to her, but grabbed the purse which she was holding in her hands.


    Jiang Qifei gripped the purse with all her strength. She just wouldnt let it go.


    Her car keys and phone were all in her purse. If she let them take that away too, she would really have nowhere to hide.


    Please dont take it. I promise Ill never see your father again. Her face was swelling, so she couldnt even pronounce clearly.


    Liao Qiulongs younger sonnded a kick into her lower abdomen.


    She screamed in pain, fell to the ground and curled up. She was unable to stand.


    Wang Ping spat at her, then said to her sons, Lets go.


    The three people got into their car and left.


    In the parking lot, Jiang Qifeiid on the ground for a while. Half of her body was disabled from moving.

 Chapter 727. I Should Send It Over To Nian Qingyun And Let Him Have A Look

    Chapter 727. I Should Send It Over To Nian Qingyun And Let Him Have A Look


    She was only sent to the hospital when the security guard arrived at the scene.


    Liao Qiulong received a telephone call from the police, and he hurried to the hospital. He was shocked to see Jiang Qifei lying on the hospital bed.


    Jiang Qifei maintained herself well. She was pretty even though she was over fifty years old. Now, lying in the hospital bed, her face was swollen like a pigs head.


    She was dressed in the hospital gown and her neck and arms were battered with injuries.


    Jiang Qifei covered her face and burst into tears the moment she saw him. Qiulong, dont look at me, I cant face you like this.


    Who did this? Which bastard beat you up like this? Liao Qiulong was heartbroken, and he quickly went forward to hug her. Dont cry anymore.


    It was your wife and your two lovely sons. Jiang Qifei buried herself in his chest and cried. They peeled off all my clothes too. I cant believe I had to experience that at this age. Ive already told you I dont want to be with you. You assured me you could take care of things with your wife. How did it turn out like this? Qiulong, I think we better break up. This is too much for me. I cant bear to live like this.


    Liao Qiulong looked guilty.


    He felt bad as he watched her sob. Those two little bastards. Dont cry. Well


    They even took nude photos of me. I dont want to live anymore, Jiang Qifei said as she started banging her head against the bedside cupboard.


    Liao Qiulong pulled her back andforted her. Dont worry, Ill retrieve the photos for you. That bitch has overdone it this time. I thought we could just maintain a cordial rtionship since we were married for over 20 years. Dont worry. Ill divorce her as soon as possible.


    Dont. I dont want to ruin your family, Jiang Qifei said as she swallowed her tears and shook her head. What will happen to your children if you divorce?


    Theyve had their own families long ago. If they still want to inherit my assets, they should know better than to go against me. Liao Qiulong hugged andforted her.


    Jiang Qifeiid in his arms as she steeled her gaze in determination and hatred. She wouldnt let this matter rest easily.


    Those three people. She would make them pay for what they did to her today.


    At Shengting.


    Nian Junting emerged from his meeting and Lu Kang approached him with a phone in his hand. Weve got Wang Pings phone.


    Nian Junting took the phone from him, expressionless.


    Lu Kang said awkwardly, Jiang Qifeis photos are all inside, I encrypted it with a password.


    Did you look at it? Nian Junting raised his brows.


    Lu Kang shivered nervously. I only saw one, just to confirm. That body, shes over fifty years old right? Im not into that.


    Nian Junting chuckled. Whats hard to stomach about it, is that she did charm Nian Qingyun and Liao Qiulong with her body. It should be quite something. I should send it over to Nian Qingyun and let him have a look.


    Lu Kang could imagine Nian Qingyuns reaction. He would probably feel as bad as eating shit.


    Are you going to threaten Jiang Qifei with the photos? Lu Kang asked. She has been sent to the hospital so if you threaten her with these photos, perhaps she would hand over the evidence that we want.


    You never know. Although most people care about their reputation, shes quite a shameless woman. She might not agree to my conditions. Nian Junting was ying with the phone. When I asked you to get the phone, the only thing holding me back from posting the photos online is Leng Shuangwei and Uncle Leng. She saved my grandma after all. She has nothing to do with this.

 Chapter 728. The Woman in His Arms Was Tender and Soft Like a Cat

    Chapter 728. The Woman in His Arms Was Tender and Soft Like a Cat


    Lu Kang nodded.


    Leng Shuangwei was so unlucky that she had such a mother.


    Jiang Qifei didnt call Miss. Feng after she got into the hospital. She only called Liao Qiulong, Lu Kang said.


    Im d that she still has some sense of shame. Shes afraid that her daughter might know about all these, Nian Junting showed disgust on his face when saying, Now, lets see what Liao Qiulong is going to do. If he turned out to be impervious to this situation, he shouldnt me me for being impolite.


    Lu Kang smiled, Ive bought those people whom Jiang Qifei hired to stalk Miss. Xu so he wont suspect her.


    Just in case, keep a close eye on him. Luo is pregnant after all. We need to be careful. I have to get our dad out of prison as soon as I can. Hopefully, we can get married this year. The more he thought about it, the more delighted he was. He told himself that he must watch those people closely, in case some other unexpected problems might ur.


    Five dayster.


    While having dinner in a riverside restaurant with Nian Junting, Luosang was checking Weibo on her phone, as she felt a little bored. There was news that Liao Qiulong, the shareholder of Qifeng, was going to divorce with his wife.


    Last time, you said that Jiang Qifei is Liao Qiulongs mistress. Is that right? Luosang showed the news to Nian Junting and said, Is she going to be Mrs. Liao?


    Nian Junting nced at her phone, then tasted the codfish. He then responded in a nd tone, The older he is, the more muddled he bes.


    All men like pretty women, Luosang gave him a sideways nce and said, You might be obsessed with some woman too when you got old.


    Nian Junting put down his chopsticks, curved his lips in a smile and replied, Im not sure if Ill be obsessed with some other woman, but I am sure that some woman will be obsessed with me. That, is inevitable.


    Luosang rolled her eyes. If you dare flirt with another woman, Ill find another man and make you so angry. Just like what your mother did to your father.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting couldnt help but think of Nian Qingyun.


    Yesterday, his grandfather called and told him that Nian Qingyun was having high blood pressuretely, and that he nned to retire early.


    That was probably because he was always angry.


    You said that you know how to deal with Jiang Qifei. What if she became Mrs. Liao? Luosang was getting worried.


    Liao Qiulong owns a publicpany, and I, am a financier. Do you think he can win me? Nian Juntingughed carelessly.


    Seeing the mysterious smile on his face, Luosang didnt know what to say.


    He did know how to y the business game. Liao Qiulong was an industrialist. He might not be a match for Nian Junting in business.


    The day after tomorrow, go to Yunnan with me. Nian Junting refilled Luosangs juice ss, Yi Group is holding a shareholders meeting in the holiday resort in the film and television base. I need to be there.


    I have sses, Luosang replied.


    Youre not going to Beijing in the middle of this month anymore, so you can ask for leave, Nian Junting reminded her, Didnt you say you wanted to convince Zeng Zhun?


    Luosangs eyes glowed. That was an opportunity.


    Take the opportunity, Nian Junting said as he put a shrimp on her te.


    At that moment, the waiter served a mushroom chicken soup. Smelling the soup, Luosang immediately felt sick.


    She hurriedly dragged over a bin and brought up what she had just eaten.


    Nian Junting quickly stood up and patted her on the back.


    After vomiting, Luosang barely had time to catch her breath before the second round started. She even vomited some bile, which made a strong bitterness linger in her mouth.


    When her stomach was finally emptied, she wiped her mouth, raised her head and weakly leaned against Nian Juntingsp and said, I cant smell mushrooms. It makes me sick.


    Take the chicken soup away, Nian Junting waved at the waiter. Seeing this woman in his arms who was tender and soft like a cat, his heart twitched from time to time.

 Chapter 729. Mr. Yi and Mr. Fang Have Already Checked In This Afternoon

    Chapter 729. Mr. Yi and Mr. Fang Have Already Checked In This Afternoon


    It was his first time being a father. He never realized how difficult pregnancy was.


    Its tough on you, Luo. He kissed her hair. I will treat you and our baby well.


    As long as you know. It was the first time she threw up today. She bit down on his thigh resentfully, then she propped herself up. She looked pale under the light. I thought I wouldnt have morning sickness. Who knew?


    Nian Junting frowned as well. You love eating so much that itll be problematic if you have morning sickness often.


    Yeah, if I go to the canteen, I will definitely throw up at the smell of food. People will find out about my pregnancy. Luosang was depressed. It wasnt an honorable thing to be pregnant in college.


    Thankfully it was Year 4 the next semester, so it was the time that students usually took up internships and stayed off campus.


    Nian Junting patted her head and considered what she had said. Dont eat at the canteen anymore then. Ill hire someone to cook at your apartment. She will just be around to cook, so she wont bother your revision. What do you think about that?


    Hmm sounds good. Luosangid happily in hisp.


    Afterward, she didnt feel the nausea anymore since there were no mushrooms; she ate her food happily.


    She thought that she was only sensitive to mushrooms but over the next few days, she developed a reaction to celery and broli as well.


    Three dayster, when she took the ne to Yunnam with Nian Junting, she looked pale and tired.


    The Film and Television Vi was far from Kunming and they took another long car ride after they arrived at the airport. It was a total of three hours in the car.


    When they finally arrived on the grounds, Luosang was exhausted.


    The Film and Television Vi was a huge ce with a bamboo forest, ake, a vige and all sorts of buildings modeled after ancient times. There were many crew members on set as well.


    Luosang was impressed by the scale of it all since it was her first time there.


    Yi Jingxi had built quite a remarkable ce. It wasnt much inferior to Hengdian in Hangzhou. No wonder he made such an impact on the industry in two years.


    Lu Kang chuckled. When we bought the stocks back then, we didnt even do our groundwork here. Mr. Nian, I didnt expect this ce to be so impressive. I heard that many period dramas and shows set in the 70s are filmed here. The environment is beautiful.


    Indeed. Nian Junting nodded his head. Yi Jingxi is a terrible person, but he is talented at doing business.


    Luosang couldnt help but say, Dont forget that he stole my fatherspany. He wouldnt be what he is today without my fathers help.


    Yeah, we will take back our fatherspany sooner orter. Nian Junting held her fingers to his mouth and nibbled at them.


    Luosang found it funny that he was so used to calling Xu Zhengxuan his father. She was d that he was so enthusiastic about it.


    In this age, people didnt usually help their fathers-inw and didnt about boyfriends who werent even family yet.


    You just need to rest and take care of your body. Nian Junting pulled her into his arms. Rest now and Ill wake you up when we arrive.


    When they arrived at the hotel, the CEO was there to wee them. Wee, Mr. Nian. We have arranged a room on level two for you.


    Nian Junting took the keys and the man continued saying, Mr. Yi and Mr. Fang have already checked in this afternoon.


    Send some food to our room. No mushrooms, celery, broli or garlic, Nian Junting ordered.

 Chapter 730. So, You Live Across the Hall

    Chapter 730. So, You Live Across the Hall


    The manager paused briefly, then nodded.


    The windows of the rooms on the second floor were facing theke, were all well illuminated with great views and the furniture was made from mahogany. After entering the room, Luosang went straight to the bed, falling asleep.


    Nian Junting walked to the bed, bent over and took off her shoes.


    Afterward, Luosang immediately rolled into the quilt.


    Dont roll, Nian Junting reminded her, Dont hurt my precious little princess.


    Your queen is hungry, Luosang stuck her head out of the quilt, I suddenly want something spicy.


    Spicy? Nian Junting said standing up, All right, Ill order some food for you.


    He then called the restaurant himself and told the chef to prepare something spicy. It wasnt mealtime, and Nian Junting wanted the food to be delivered fast. Therefore, the restaurant didnt have too many options. Atst, they made Yunnan rice noodles for Luosang.


    Ten minutester, someone knocked on the door.


    Nian Junting opened the door and saw a waiter standing with a cart. Mister, this is your Yunnan rice noodle. Weve also brought you some special Yunan snacks.


    Bring them in, Nian Junting said.


    At that moment, the door across the hall suddenly opened. Yi Jingxi walked out, wearing a ck suit. When he made eye-contact with Nian Junting, he tightened his handsome face and wore a cold and stiff expression.


    Mr. Yi, so you live across the hall, Nian Junting said with a faint smile, What a coincidence.


    Mr. Nian, you have be a shareholder of this film and television base. What can be more coincidental than that? Yi Jingxi closed the door behind him and couldnt help but look into Nian Juntings room.


    He could only see the waiter cing the snacks on the table, one after another. A bowl of steaming rice noodle was also on that table.


    Nian Junting nced back at the room, thenughed, Luo is hungry, so I ordered some food for her.


    Yi Jingxis heart sank. Earlier, he heard that Luosang had broken up with Nian Junting. Wasnt that real?


    At that time, he had a sh of hope.


    Why were they together again?


    Hearing Luosangs name. Yi Jingxi felt it hard to breathe.


    He wanted so desperately to see her.


    However, he was afraid that he might see her and Nian Junting together like a sweet couple.


    Doesnt she need to go to school?


    She asked for leave, Nian Junting responded with a gentle and helpless tone, Theres no other way. She needs to see me every day now, or shed feel insecure. Women. She cares too much about me, so she always wants to follow me everywhere. Shes afraid that she might lose me. I guess you dont know how that feels like.


    Yi Jingxis face instantly paled.


    He knew exactly how that felt like. Luosang used to follow him everywhere.


    Back then, he was using her. On one hand, he felt annoyed by her, but on the other hand, he was obsessed with it.


    The waiter served the food, then pushed the cart out of the room.


    Nian Junting smiled again and said, Mr. Yi, Ill talk to you at dinner. I need to spend some time with Luo now, or she might get unhappy again. Shes getting more and more short-temperedtely.


    Nian Junting then closed the door.


    Yi Jingxi gazed at the closed door.


    He even wanted to kick that door open.


    But, what should he do after that?


    He felt that his life was no better than death.


    In the room, once Nian Junting tuned around, Luosang sat up in bed, staring at him in a meaningful way, saying, When did I follow you everywhere? Why would I feel insecure if I cant see you every day?


    Nian Junting carried the rice noodles to her while responding calmly, You misheard me. I said that I want to follow you everywhere and that Ill feel insecure if I cant see you every day.


    Luosang felt speechless.


    He was making up obvious lies again. Did he think she was deaf?

 Chapter 731. Luosang Looked Like How She Was When She Was Eighteen, Perfect and Pure

    Chapter 731. Luosang Looked Like How She Was When She Was Eighteen, Perfect and Pure


    He was lying tantly again; did he think that she was deaf?


    Eat quickly. The food wont be as nice when it gets cold, Nian Junting fed her a spoonful.


    Luosang had a few bites before she felt ill.


    Have a bit more. Nian Junting was concerned that she was starving herself.


    I cant have anymore. Im worried that I will puke everything up. Luosang waved her hands, as sheid back down on the bed.


    When she woke up, it was already six in the evening.


    The sun was still up and Nian Junting was ying with his phone, sitting on the side of the bed. Luosang was shocked when she saw the time. Werent you going to have dinner with some of the board members? Why didnt you wake me up?


    Its fine. Im the VIP here so they can wait for a while. Nian Junting sat up and passed her a jacket.


    Should I sit out tonight? Luosang was hesitant. Its all going to be men, so theres no point in me going.


    No, how am I supposed to antagonize Yi Jingxi if you dont go? Nian Junting insisted.


    Luosang didnt think that was a valid reason for her to go, but she had no strength to protest. Youve angered him enough. How far must you go to be satisfied?


    You dont understand, Nian Junting said.


    After all, Yi Jingxi was her first love. He had stolen her first kiss. He would remember that fact forever.


    Luosang didnt care to dress up. Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, Nian Junting prohibited her from using any makeup. She was only allowed to use pregnancy-safe skincare products.


    She was young though, so she didnt need makeup to look pretty. Her skin was fair and wless; just a little tired looking. Even with her tired eyes, she looked like a precious beauty. Any mans heart would flutter at the sight of her.


    The two of them walked down to level one, where they were going to dine.


    When they opened the door to the private chamber, Nian Junting walked in with his arms around Luosangs waist.


    There were only two shareholders who were females, the rest were middle-aged men. When Luosang appeared, everyone stared.


    She was wearing a pair of white cargo pants and an army green jacket. Nian Junting held her close in his arms; she looked precious and young.


    The men were used to seeing sexy, made-up women and it was a fresh sight to see someone so innocent-looking and prudent. She looked beautiful and fresh.


    Yi Jingxi watched them as they walked across the room; his heart ached.


    Luosang looked as she did when she was eighteen, perfect and pure.


    Look, Mr. Nian, youre making all of us jealous. None of us brought our girlfriends along for this meeting. Only you did, and yours is so pretty. We should have all brought our wives. Mr. Fang joked around.


    Yeah. the men were agreeing with him.


    Im purposely making all of you jealous. Nian Junting looked around the room, and the only empty seats were next to Yi Jingxi.


    He pulled out the chair for Luosang before taking the seat next to Yi Jingxi.


    Mr. Nian, we just ordered a couple of dishes. You can order whatever you like. Another executive pushed the menu towards him.


    Something spicy. My girlfriend wants to eat something spicy. Nian Junting opened the menu and asked Luosang gently, What do you want to have?


    Luosang wanted something strongly vored, so she ordered beef and ox tripe in spicy sauce with poached beef in chili oil.


    Mr. Fangughed. Mr. Nian, your girlfriend takes her spice well, doesnt she?


    Only recently. Nian Junting replied with a smile.


    Yi Jingxi was puzzled after hearing him. He never remembered Luosang as someone who liked spicy food.


    After they ordered the dishes, Nian Junting said to Yi Jingxi, When I arrived, I saw many tourists roaming the ce but not many crews filming shows.

 Chapter 732. Ive Spoiled Her

    Chapter 732. I''ve Spoiled Her


    He directly pointed out what some shareholders had been feeling bad about.


    After all, the film and television base was huge. It would be very unprofitable if there were only tourists, but no film crews. Spending over ten billion on a huge holiday resort like this was not reasonable. Even though some tourists could be expected now, over time this ce would be less appealing if there were no stars.


    Everybody was clearly aware of that. It was also one of the main subjects under discussion in the shareholder meeting.


    Yi Jingxi wore a slightly sullen look.


    He knew that Nian Junting was the one who made the film and television be like this. However, the other shareholders had all been staying silent about it and taken Nian Juntings side. After all, Nian Junting had contacts in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Because of him, none of Yi Groups works could pass the censorship.


    The fund had stopped flowing, and Yi Group was now on the verge of copse.


    He had tried external financing, but under the current situation, no one was willing to take the risk.


    The other shareholders would only me Yi Jingxi for making Nian Junting an enemy, if they knew all the details.


    A shareholder called Mr. Lu started the meeting, saying, When we invested in the film and television base, Mr. Yi told us there is no risk in this project. But in the end All our money is stuck in this project.


    Yi Jingxi forced a smile on his pretty face, saying, Ive thought about it. If there is no way to attract more film crews, we can turn the base into a holiday resort to attract tourists


    How many tourists can you attract?


    Mr. Fang interrupted him, knocked on the table and said, We have plenty of great views and tourist destinations in Yunnan. This film and television base is well developed with good views, but it still cant bepared with those famous scenic spots. We can only attract tourists who live nearby. Who would travel a long way to this ce? Mr. Yi, the money that weve spent on this film and television base is not billions. Its over tens of billions. We invested in it for good profits, not for you to run a charity.


    Thats right, said some people, agreeing with him.


    Yi Jingxi tightened his face and said, Those kinds of problems only urred in the recent couple of months. No matter which industry you invested into, the profit is always fluctuating


    There is no profit this time. We are losing money, another shareholder said, not being able to help but join the conversation, We have so many staff members and security people in this ce, and we need to pay for the property management. Some ancient-style buildings need to be kept in good repair. All these give rise to the expenditure.


    All right, were only having dinner. The shareholder meeting isnt started yet. Everybody, calm down, Nian Junting raised his ss, saying with a nd, yet very influential voice, Stop giving Mr. Yi a hard time. Hes young after all. Therere too many responsibilities on his shoulders. Hes working hard and look at him. He has even lost weighttely.


    Yi Jingxi gripped his ss.


    If Nian Junting didnt push him harder and harder, how would he be so deeply troubled? He had even lost his appetite.


    The food was served slowly. While chatting with the other shareholders, Nian Junting didnt forget to pick fishbones or peel shrimps for Luosang.


    The others all noticed. A female shareholder said jokingly, Mr. Nian, youre so nice to your girlfriend. You even pick fishbones for her.


    Yeah, Ive spoiled her, Nian Junting looked at Luosang and gave a sweet grin.


    Your girlfriend is so lucky. Mr. Lu picked up his winess, stood up and said, Come on, little girl, let me propose a toast to you.

 Chapter 733. Mr. Nian, Are You Going to Be a Father?

    Chapter 733. Mr. Nian, Are You Going to Be a Father?


    Luosang was stunned. Nian Junting raised her cup and said, She cant drink. Ill toast you on her behalf.


    Why cant she drink just a little bit? Mr. Lu joked around.


    Nian Junting waved his hand. She really cant.


    At this moment, a te of coriander and ck fungus sd was served. Luosang couldnt stand the smell and rushed out. She felt sick.


    Excuse me, Nian Junting said as he calmly stood up, grabbed a packet of tissues, and followed her.


    It seemed like this happened often enough.


    The shareholders in the room exchanged knowing looks. Someone finally said, Is Mr. Nians girlfriend pregnant? This happened to my wife a lot too when she was pregnant.


    Yi Jingxi froze as he continued to look out the door. He was devastated. His mind went nk, and his body felt weak.


    Pregnant How could it be?


    Another female director agreed, It does seem that way. I was like this when I was carrying my daughter. Certain smells triggered my nausea. Mr. Nian didnt let her drink any alcohol, either. Maybe it wasnt because she couldnt hold her liquor well


    Before she could finish, Yi Jingxi downed a cup of white wine and mmed the empty ss on the table with a loud bang.


    The room went silent.


    Everyone had heard about the fact that Nian Juntings girlfriend was Yi Jingxis ex-fiance. They had also heard about him snatching her familyspany and having an affair with the post-fame celebrity, Zhong Yi. They even knew about his malicious attempts to ruin her career and studies.


    He had a terrible reputation, and many of the directors were not big fans of him.


    Most business men were capable people, including all the directors present in the room. They didnt want to work with someone so disloyal and heartless as Yi Jingxi. He was too ruthless and cruel. He seemed like he was willing to resort to anything for the sake of his own sess and wealth. They wouldnt trust him enough to invest their benefits in him.


    He was probably embarrassed now that hed heard about his ex-fiances pregnancy. It was a hit to his pride.


    They didnt sympathize with him. In fact, they gloated at his situation.


    After downing an entire cup of white wine, Yi Jingxi felt a prickly burn in his epigastrium.


    Although he had already heard about them getting back together, he was still madly jealous. He hadforted himself with the fact that Luosang was not married to him yet, but now that she was pregnant, there was no way that she would return to him again.


    He couldnt ept that.


    He found it difficult to breathe.


    His Sang was so young. How could she be pregnant? She must have caught a cold or something. Shed looked pale when hed seen her earlier.


    Nian Junting had returned to the room with Luosang. He moved the te of sd away from their seats and said, Im sorry. My girlfriend cant stand the smell now.


    She couldnt stand the smell now, but shed used to be able to stand it.


    Mr. Fangs eyes glistened, and he chirped, Mr. Nian, are you going to be a father?


    Luosang blushed. She wasnt married yet, after all, and she was still so young. She was embarrassed to be seen through by everyone present and lowered her head.


    Nian Junting chuckled brightly. He was in a terrific mood, but he didnt say a word. He neither confirmed nor denied the im.


    Everyone present got the message, and they all raised their sses. Congrattions, Mr. Nian. Heres a toast to you. Dont forget to invite us to your wedding banquet!


    Im toasting you too!


    Someone led the celebration cheers, and everyone proceeded to stand up. Only Yi Jingxi remained seated. He raised his cup, and his handsome face was as pale as a sheet. He looked like he was in a daze, as if his soul had left his body.

 Chapter 734. Mr. Yi, Arent You Gonna Congratulate Me?

    Chapter 734. Mr. Yi, Aren''t You Gonna Congratte Me?


    Nian Junting smiled at him and said, Mr. Yi, everybody has given their congrattions to me. Arent you gonna congratte me?


    Yi Jingxi raised his pretty but expressionless face and looked at Nian Junting. He was handsome and high-spirited. His ck, bright eyes seemed to contain a slight trace of defiance.


    Luosang, who sat beside Nian Junting, didnt even nce at Yi Jingxi. She had been quietly picking at vegetables. Yi Jingxi could only see her profile.


    Suddenly, he couldnt hear anything but the buzzing noise in his head.


    In a daze, he heard someone calling him. Jing, Jing, wait for me. That voice seemed toe from a long distance away.


    Mr. Yi, Mr. Nian is talking to you. Seeing his absent-minded look, the shareholder beside him spoke to him.


    Yi Jingxi was suddenly woken up.


    He abruptly stood up. His thigh bumped into the table, as hed stood up too quickly.


    He didnt sense any pain. He picked up a bottle of Baijiu, poured himself a full ss of it, and then emptied the ss without taking a nce at the people around him. After that, he threw the ss to the floor, stepped away from the table, and left, taking big steps.


    All that happened too suddenly, so the others on the scene were all a little stunned. After he left, Mr. Luined, What did he mean? We are congratting Mr. Nian, yet he smashed a ss to ruin our mood.


    Its okay. Mr. Yi wasnt in a good mood. Forgive him. Nian Junting smiled delightedly, as if nothing could mar his good spirits.


    Seeing that he wasnt angry, the others sighed with relief. Someone asked the waiter to clean the floor, and then people continued drinking.


    A dinner couldnt possibly end quickly when there were men drinking together.


    Finished eating, Luosang felt a little bored. The room was drenched in the smell of alcohol, which made her feel a little ufortable. So she turned and said to Nian Junting, Im going out to take a walk in the garden. I need some fresh air.


    Nian Junting nodded and said, Let Lu Kang go with you. Yi Jingxi is here, so Im a little worried.


    Luosang nodded.


    After leaving the VIP room, Luosang strolled in the hotel. The hotel wasrge, with a smallke and a pavilion surrounded by willows.


    Luosang walked around theke. The night breeze in May was very pleasant.


    She talked to Lu Kang asionally.


    About twenty minutester, when they were preparing to go back, they saw Yi Jingxiing over. His face was red, and so were his eyes. That was probably because the alcohol that hed had earlier in the VIP room had kicked in.


    Lu Kang calmly ced himself in front of Luosang.


    Yi Jingxi came closer, red at him with a pair of red eyes, and said, Move. I need to talk to her.


    Mr. Yi, youre drunk, said Lu Kang ndly. Theres nothing for you to say to her anymore. Leave her alone.


    Hearing that, Yi Jingxi sneered, Theres a lot for us to talk about, such as what happened between Xu Zhengxuan and my family. Luosang, dont you want to know?


    Lu Kang frowned. Before he said anything, Luosangs voice came from behind him. Lu Kang, its okay.


    Lu Kang dropped his arm. Yi Jingxi walked to Luosang step by step, fixing his greedy eyes on her face. I want to talk to you in private.


    Thats not gonna happen, Lu Kang replied immediately.


    Its okay. He has something to say. Just let him say it. There are cameras everywhere. I believe he wont do anything to me unless he really wants to go to jail or doesnt care about his mother, whos still living in a nursing home. Luosang smiled and said to Lu Kang, Just go and wait for me over there.

 Chapter 735. Planted His Lips Firmly on Hers

    Chapter 735. nted His Lips Firmly on Hers


    Lu Kang nodded and walked over to the other side of the lobby.


    Yi Jingxi looked down at Luosang and stared intensely into her eyes. Are you really pregnant?


    Yi Jingxi, Im not going to talk about these things with you. Luosang frowned and said with annoyance, I have no interest in talking to you anymore. Im only curious about the feud between my family and yours.


    Answer me, and I will tell you. Yi Jingxi was stubborn as he spoke with trembling lips.


    Yes, Im pregnant. Luosang nodded her head.


    Yi Jingxi looked at her in shock. It was as if someone had ground his heart into mush. Xu Luosang, you are such a slut.


    He finally said, seething in anger, When I was with you, you told me that you would only sleep with me once we were married. What about Nian Junting? You guys arent even engaged yet. Arent you embarrassed about what you have done? Does your father know how shameless you are?


    Luosang couldnt believe what he was saying. Shed never met anyone as unreasonable as him. If youre here to tell me this, Im not going to waste any more time talking to you.


    After shed heard about how Yi Jingxi had schemed against her father from Jiang Qifei, she had no intention of being civil or amicable with him anymore. The only reason why she wasnt confronting him then and there was because she didnt want to alert him to her ns.


    Dont you want to know about your mother? Yi Jingxi suddenly said behind her.


    Luosang stopped in her tracks and turned around. My mother?


    Yeah. Your mother isnt dead. Yi Jingxi smiled eerily. If you leave Nian Junting and abort the child, I will tell you about your mother and help you two reunite. You have a little brother, too.


    How do you know about that, Yi Jingxi? What else have you done? Luosang found it unbelievable. What else had this man done behind her back?


    I know many, many things. Yi Jingxi was sounding a little mad now.


    After learning that Nian Junting didnt mind her background and history, he knew that he had nothing against him now. Hed heard about Nian Junting going around collecting evidence to help Xu Zhengxuan appeal his case.


    Luosang, I cant let you go. Yi Jingxi let his hurt show in his eyes.


    Luosang was stunned. Before she could react, Yi Jingxi pulled her into his arms and nted his lips firmly on hers. Luosang instinctively pushed him away, but Yi Jingxi had his hand on the back of her head.


    What are you two doing? An angry shout came from behind them.


    Nian Junting marched forward and pulled Yi Jingxi away. He quickly swung a punch at his face.


    Hed been looking around for Luosang when he saw them together. He wanted to beat Yi Jingxi to death.


    Since hed had a couple of drinks, he lost rational control and started punching him. He was sprawled on top of Yi Jingxi now, waving his fists wildly.


    His woman had been kissed by another man. It was preposterous. He was a neat freak. He would always be reminded of Yi Jingxi kissing his woman now when he kissed her.


    He wanted to kill this scumbag.


    Yi Jingxi had also had a couple of drinks. He had been swallowing his anger. Nian Junting hated him, but Yi Jingxi hated Nian Junting too. Nian Junting was f*cking his ex-fianc.


    Although Yi Jingxi couldnt beat Nian Junting, he was putting up a valiant struggle.


    The two men were rolling in the grass, and Yi Jingxis fair and handsome face was bludgeoned and bloody. Nian Juntings clothes were also torn in several ces.

 Chapter 736. I Told You to Keep an Eye on Her. Is That How You Do Your Job?

    Chapter 736. I Told You to Keep an Eye on Her. Is That How You Do Your Job?


    Stop. Stop fighting. Luosang was anxious. She didnt dare to do anything herself because she was pregnant. With no other choice, she said to Lu Kang, Go and stop them.


    Lu Kang gave a bitter smile. Where was he supposed to find the courage to do that? He was standing right there, yet Yi Jingxi had managed to kiss Luosang. Now, he wondered if Nian Junting would kill him for real.


    Mr. Nian, stop. Zeng Zhun suddenly showed up and stopped Yi Jingxi.


    Nian Junting kicked Yi Jingxi in the chest.


    Only after that did Lu Kang walk over and try to stop Nian Junting. Mr. Nian, youve hit him hard enough. You still need to attend the shareholder meeting tomorrow. Well lose face if anyone else sees us now.


    Seeing Lu Kang, Nian Junting got even angrier. I told you to keep an eye on her. Is that how you do your job?


    Its not Lu Kangs fault. He suddenly kissed Luosang felt sorry and hurriedly exined for Lu Kang.


    And youre describing it to me. Nian Junting was infuriated. Hed been going to exasperate Yi Jingxi, but things had happened the other way around. You said that you wereing out to take a walk. Why were you chatting with him in this ce?


    It is, of course, because she still loves me. Yi Jingxi stood not far away from him, his mouth covered in blood. But still, he curved his lips in a wicked smile and said, After all, she used to be my fiance. Its reasonable for her to be familiar with my kiss. Im surprised that her lips are still so soft and sweet.


    Watch your mouth Nian Junting nearly exploded. His blood was surging inside him.


    Lu Kang caught his arm with all his strength to stop him from pouncing on Yi Jingxi, feeling like he was trying to stop a lion.


    The look on Luosangs face changed a little. Nian Junting was sickened, and so was she. Yi Jingxi, youre so disgusting, she said.


    She held Nian Juntings hand and said, Let it go. Its like I got bitten by a dog.


    Yi Jingxi, youre such a scum. Nian Junting was dragged toward the hotel by Luosang. All his muscles were still tense.


    He couldnt believe what Yi Jingxi had just said. When hed arrived, he had seen Luosang resisting him. But still, he felt disgusting.


    As Luosang and Nian Junting held each others hands and returned to the hotel, Zeng Zhun let go of Yi Jingxi. He didnt know what exactly had happened, but he could guess some of it based on what Yi Jingxi had just said. Mr. Yi, can you please stop offending Nian Junting? The shareholder meeting will start tomorrow. Our people are all busy figuring out what to do and say tomorrow, yet youre still making things worse


    Zeng Zhun, why didnt you try to stop Nian Junting just now? Why did you run over and grab me? Yi Jingxi abruptly turned back, red at him with a grim look and said, Because of you, he kicked me in the chest.


    Zeng Zhun froze briefly. He replied, Mr. Yi, you started this. Do you expect me to hold Nian Junting and let you hit him? We are supposed to make peace about this. If youd hurt Nian Junting, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    So you let him kick me? Who are you working for? Yi Jingxi had so much anger umted in his heart without an outlet. Now, that anger came out.


    Zeng Zhun was stunned a little. I did it for Yi Group.


    You didnt do it for Yi Group. You did it because you fear offending Nian Junting, right? Yi Jingxi wrathfully pushed him away and left, taking big steps.


    Looking at his back, Zeng Zhun felt extremely ufortable.


    He did everything for Yi Jingxis own good, yet thetter had offended Luosang again. Maybe he felt that Nian Junting didnt hate him enough.

 Chapter 737. Im a Fool Now That I Am Pregnant. Do You Have a Problem with That?

    Chapter 737. I''m a Fool Now That I Am Pregnant. Do You Have a Problem with That?


    Nian Junting went back into his room angrily.


    He was acting like he had just swallowed a fly. Since he couldntsh out at Luosang now that she was pregnant, he vented his frustrations on Lu Kang. You watched her well, didnt you? You let someone else kiss her lips. If I were anyter, would they have been French kissing?


    Although he directed his speech to Lu Kang, Luosang felt as if he were scolding her directly. I told you, he pounced on me suddenly. I wasnt expecting it. I was resisting him when I had the time to react.


    Nian Junting grunted. Anyway, you shouldnt have spent time alone with him. Lu Kang, why did you walk away? Didnt I tell you that you mustnt leave her alone at any time?


    Luosang said with frustration, I told him to walk away. Yi Jingxi was going to tell me about his feud with my family.


    How many times are you going to fall for this trick? Nian Junting looked even grumpier now. If he was going to tell you, he wouldnt have waited till now.


    I was checking, just in case. Luosang lowered her head and pouted. I thought that Lu Kang was close by, anyway. When he started bbering about other things, I was going to ignore him and


    You are hopelessly stupid. I didnt know that about you. Luosang red at him before he could finish his sentence.


    Im a fool now that I am pregnant. Do you have a problem with that? Havent you heard that a pregnant woman will stay silly for three years? Luosang asked indignantly. I was bitten by a dog. Im even more ufortable than you are.


    Nian Junting felt better, hearing herpare Yi Jingxi to a dog. He shouldnt scold his woman, so he turned to Lu Kang. She is silly because she is pregnant. Its a good excuse. You didnt do your job properly. How could you listen to a foolish woman? Do you realize what you have done?


    Lu Kang said nothing. He was being unreasonable.


    Luosang looked at him sympathetically.


    Im sorry, Mr. Nian. Its all my fault. Lu Kang had no choice but to take the fall for this incident.


    Im deducting half a month of your sry. Go back and reflect on it. Leave, Nian Junting ordered him coldly.


    Luosang opened her mouth to plead for Lu Kang, but Nian Junting turned to look at her angrily, and she had no choice but to swallow her words.


    After Lu Kang left, she went forward and tugged on his sleeves coyly. Im going to brush my teeth. Dont be mad anymore.


    Whats the use of that? If it works, why is he so smitten with your luscious lips? Nian Junting was pissed off, he reached forward to rub her lips forcefully. Only I can taste the goodness of your luscious lips.


    It hurts Luosangs lips were red and raw now. She frowned and looked hurt. Nian Junting couldnt bear to continue.


    But he was still angry. Go brush your teeth, shower, and wash your hair too. You have to finish a tube of toothpaste.


    Why must I shower? Luosang couldnt help but ask.


    Because he hugged you and touched your hand. Nian Junting rested his palm on his forehead and waved her along. Go. Go now. I cant even bear to think about it. My headache ising back at the thought of what happened.


    Luosang was speechless for a moment. Since when do you have headaches?


    When Im running a fever, Nian Junting said, looking at her coldly, do you have a problem with that?


    No. Luosang quickly turned to grab her clothes.


    Since she was scrubbing herself clean, she took a long time in the bathroom. After fifty minutes, she had dried her hair, and she emerged from the bathroom in a baby blue sleeping gown.

 Chapter 738. Make It Up for You

    Chapter 738. Make It Up for You


    Nian Junting was sitting on the couch, watching TV. As Luosang came out of the bathroom, he turned to look at her. Her ck, shiny hair hung loosely on both sides of her face; her nightdress was loose-fitting, with nothing underneath. He could see through it.


    Luosang had been dressing conservatively since she found out she was pregnant. She even wore bras at night, and only sneakily took them off before going to sleep. She tried very hard not to tempt him, as he was barely keeping his desire under control.


    But tonight, at the sight of her, Nian Junting felt his entire body burning.


    Little fox


    He cursed silently, then turned his eyes away from her, pretending to be calm.


    Dont be angry Junting. Luosang gently sat on hisp, raised her snow-white face, ogled at him and said, Look, Ive taken a shower, washed my hair, and brushed my teeth as you said. Smell it if you dont believe me.


    After saying that, she breathed into his face, letting him smell a mint aroma.


    Nian Junting watched her pink lipsing closer and closer, but suddenly, the picture of Yi Jingxi kissing her shed across his mind and made him turn his face away.


    Luosang missed his lips and only kissed his cheek. It was the first time he dodged a kiss of hers.


    Luosang was a little disappointed. Are you gonna stop kissing me because of what happened today? If thats the case, Id have to find another man.


    After saying that, she turned and prepared to leave. However, Nian Junting put an arm around her waist and stopped her.


    How dare you. He stared into her eyes. Youre carrying my baby.


    But you wont kiss me. You dont like me. Luosang put her arms around his neck, her eyes looking innocent.


    Im feeling ufortable. A short whileter, Nian Junting turned away and looked out of the window.


    Luosang spent a few seconds looking at him, then once again, she raised her face to kiss his cheek. Her lips swept across every corner of his cheek, then moved to his thin lips. At that moment, Nian Junting turned his face back and looked at her. She gazed straight at him as well.


    They looked at each other in the eyes. Her watery eyes were like a pair of mas, that deeply attracted him.


    Luosang kissed his lips over and over again. When her lips went numb, she finally broke into his mouth. Nian Junting immediately kissed her back deeply. He even wanted to eat her lips and breath. He aggressively washed off the traces that Yi Jingxi left on her lips; he wanted her to only remember his scent.


    Luosang held his neck tight.


    They hadnt kissed so passionately for a while, because Nian Junting worried that he might lose control of himself and end up hurting Luosang and the baby. Tonight was an ident.


    While kissing, Luosang sensed something hard against her thigh. Her cheeks reddened slightly. With a guilty feeling, she undid his buttons one after another. Noticing what he was doing, Nian Junting bite her lips gently, then murmured to her with a dry and deep voice, Why taking such initiative tonight?


    To make it up to you. Luosang closed her eyes. She was too shy to look at him. She hadnt done it for quite a while. Before they started having sex, she often did it for him. She was a little out of practice, but soon, she was good at it again. Nian Junting felt as if his brain was burning. While kissing her, he sensed her movements carefully.


    In seven or eight minutes, it finally ended. Afterward, the red-faced Luosang lowered her head and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Nian Junting closed his eyes and sat on the couch for a while. He wasnt angry anymore. The only thing that was lingering in his mind was the shy look on Luosangs face.


    The more he thought about it, the happier he was.


    He stood up and walked to Luosangs side. Looking at her rosy cheeks in the mirror, he put an arm around her.

 Chapter 739. Kissed Every Single One of My Wounds

    Chapter 739. Kissed Every Single One of My Wounds


    Luosang turned and asked weakly, Youre not mad anymore?


    I wasnt angry at you anyway. I was angry at Yi Jingxi, Nian Junting said quickly.


    Really? Luosang looked at him. She would really be a fool to believe him.


    Nian Junting coughed lightly. Im upset with our baby girl. She made you stupid.


    Luosang stomped her foot and left the bathroom.


    Nian Junting followed behind her quickly and swept her up into his arms in one swift action. He carried her to the balcony and put her gently onto the sofa. He was nibbling on her lips now. Luo, you must protect this. Wont you let me be the only one to kiss you?


    Luosang opened her eyes. Her mans eyes were twinkling like the stars above her. She nodded her head lightly. Im sorry that I was so stupid.


    Its okay. I love you no matter how stupid you are. He was still clinging onto her lips with his. That night, he was going to erase the taste of Yi Jingxipletely.


    Even when Luosang woke up the next morning, her lips were still touching Nian Juntings lips. Her lips were sore, and when she walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth, she could see that they were red and swollen.


    Oh no, what were people going to think of her? She quickly put a warm towel over her swollen lips.


    When Nian Junting woke up, he saw her warming her lips with a towel and asked, Whats the matter? Are you infected now after kissing Yi Jingxist night?


    Luosang red at him angrily. He was the one who had done this to her. How dare he push the me on someone else?


    That Yi Jingxi, what a viin. I dont think you should go near him anymore, Nian Junting grunted coldly as he took a towel to wash his face.


    Luosang remained silent.


    At 8:30 that morning, Lu Kang knocked on the door and walked in. Mr. Nian, would you prefer to have room service ordered in for breakfast or eat at the restaurant?


    Have it delivered. I dont want to see some people and taint my ears, Nian Junting said.


    They had breakfast on the balcony, and Nian Junting proceeded to attend the board of directors meeting. Yi Jingxi was going to be at the meeting as well, allowing him to put his mind at ease.


    He walked into the conference room at 9:20. Yi Jingxi noticed a chain of bruises on Nian Juntings handsome face and neck. The other directors were a little stunned, but none of them made anyments.


    Since the hotel wasnt that big, their little scufflest night in the garden had been made known to everyone present that day.


    Yi Jingxi was still at the head of the table, with Nian Junting right beside him.


    Nian Junting raised his head and said pridefully, Mr. Yi, were you seriously injuredst night? Did you get a doctor to check it out?


    Yi Jingxi looked up coldly, and his lips moved. My injuries dont matter. I got to kiss your girlfriendst night, after all.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes.


    There was an icy atmosphere in the room, and everyone could feel it. No one dared to make a sound, and they all cursed Yi Jingxi in their heads. What a lunatic! Why would he antagonize someone elses girlfriend like that? They were determined to vote him off the board of directors this time.


    I understand. My childs mother was your ex-fianc, after all. Its normal for you to feel resentment. Nian Junting was toying with the fountain pen in his hands. I think you should see a doctor. Youre not like me, and after seeing my injuries fromst night, Luo peeled off my clothes and kissed every single one of my wounds. After her nourishment, my wounds dont hurt at all anymore.


    Yi Jingxis temples throbbed.


    Mr. Fang broke into augh. Im so envious of you, Mr. Nian. Miss Xu is so sweet to you.

 Chapter 740. She Wouldnt Listen, But Insisted on Spoiling Me

    Chapter 740. She Wouldn''t Listen, But Insisted on Spoiling Me


    Thats true. Nian Junting sighed slightly. Sometimes, I really feel like shes spoiling me. Before she got pregnant, she always went all the way to my vi after ss to make my favorite dishes for me. She peeled shrimp and deboned fish for me. I told her that she shouldnt be doing that kind of work. You know, we should be nice to women, but she wouldnt listen to me. She said that shell spoil me until I cant ept any other woman. I had no way to change her mind. By now, Im really used to being spoiled by her.


    Mr. Fang blinked, suddenly looked behind Nian Junting, and said, Miss Xu


    Nian Junting froze briefly, then turned back. Luosang and Lu Kang were both standing behind him, and he had no idea when they had arrived. Lu Kang was trying very hard not to burst intoughter, while Luosang was blinking and looking at him with a faint smile.


    Eh-hem, Nian Junting coughed. Why are you here?


    Luosang curved the corners of her lips, abruptly stepped forward, bent over, and gave him a kiss on the lips. After that, she said in a soft and low voice, You left a file in the room. I was just bringing it to you.


    Nian Juntings legs turned limp even after that short kiss, and his ears reddened suspiciously. This woman is so bold, he thought. She actually kissed me on the lips in front of so many people.


    He considered himself a thick-skinned person, yet he rarely did anything like that. He was surprised that she had done it so calmly and naturally. He had liked it, though.


    Lu Kang could have brought it to me, he said.


    But I missed you. I havent seen you in like, ten minutes. Luosang conveniently and affectionately adjusted his tie, then continued, Finish the meeting quickly. Ill pick out the fish bones for you at lunch.


    Nian Junting didnt even know how to respond.


    Luosangs fingers lingered on his tie for a few seconds before she left. When walking past Yi Jingxi, she didnt even give him a nce.


    Yi Jingxi watched her in shock. He felt like his heart had suffered so much pain that it had turned numb. He had been with her for a long time, yet she had never been that nice to him.


    In front of Nian Junting, she was exquisitely dainty and ravishingly beautiful. Yesterday, he had tried to make her and Nian Junting ufortable, but unexpectedly, the two of them hadnt been affected at all.


    Mr. Fangughed. Mr. Nian, Im really impressed. Youre so good at this. How nice Miss Xu is to you!


    Nian Junting scornfully nced at Yi Jingxi, who seemed to be very upset at that moment. That anger that hed had the day before waspletely gone. Thats right. She always says that shell be nice to me for her entire life. I really have no other choice but to ept it.


    Luosang, who was walking out of the conference room, happened to hear that. She felt so speechless that the corners of her mouth even twitched a little. Usually, those words were used by women to show off, yet he had used them himself.


    Looking at his perky face, she wanted very much to tell everybody the truth. However, in order to make him happy, she had to try her best to coordinate with him.


    Miss Xu, Zeng Zhun is over there, Lu Kang said to her in a deep voice.


    Luosang nodded. She had already seen Zeng Zhun, who had been standing behind a window long before.


    The shareholder meeting was a closed one. Lu Kang didnt have ess to the meeting, nor did Zeng Zhun.


    The Yi Group wasnt doing very welltely. Yi Jingxi was growing more and more short-tempered. Many of the talented staff had left thepany, and artists had ended their contracts. All this made Yi Jingxi more and more paranoid. He always felt like the people around him were betraying him. For that reason, Zeng Zhun had to be extra careful.


    Luosang asked Lu Kang to wait for her a couple of feet away, then walked over to Zeng Zhun alone. In a bad mood? She hade up to bring the files to Nian Junting mainly because she wanted to talk to Zeng Zhun.


    Zeng Zhun nced at her with a bitter smile and replied, The Yi Group owes so much debt. Can I possibly be in a good mood?


    Luosang smiled at him and said, Youre really loyal to Yi Jingxi.


    Hes not only my boss; he also used to be my friend. Zeng Zhun took a drag on his cigarette.

 Chapter 741. You Asked About Your Mother

    Chapter 741. You Asked About Your Mother


    In the past?


    After bing my boss, our friendship isnt as pure as before, of course. Zeng Zhun smiled briefly.


    Luosang understood what he was saying. Friends could tell each other anything without any fear of judgment, but one had to be much more careful with what they said to their boss. Brother Zeng, I call you that because I dont think youre like Jingxi. I used to call you that all the time, too.


    Zeng Zhun nodded his head. Luosang, are you here to ask me about something?


    Brother Zeng is a brother, indeed. Luosang expression turned serious. I want to know why Yi Jingxi knows about my mother and the fact that I have a brother. Does he have any leads on him?


    Luosang carefully thought about what happened the night before. It had been a long time since her mother had disappeared. There was no way that Yi Jingxi could have found her mother easily, as it had happened nearly twenty years ago. Even Nian Junting might not have been able to find her mother so quickly, and Yi Jingxi had spoken about her younger brother, too.


    The only reasonable conclusion was that Yi Jingxi had a few clues.


    Zeng Zhun looked at her in shock. Luosang could tell that she was on the right track. Brother Zeng, are you nning to stick around Yi Jingxi forever? You should start thinking about a n B for yourself.


    Are you here to convince me to leave Mr. Yi? Zeng Zhun was a sensitive and intuitive man. There had been manypetitors who had approached him recently.


    Luosang smiled and said, With your capabilities, I believe that you would have left long ago if you really wanted to.


    Zeng Zhun bit down hard on his cigarette. No matter what, Yi Jingxi is my old ssmate. Wed been pals for so long that back when it was hard for me to find a job, Jingxi asked me to stick with him. Its been so many years since


    But hes grown distant from you. He doesnt trust you anymore, Luosang went straight to the point. Youve always been loyal to him, but hes be paranoid, vtile. I heard that Cheng Liuyun, a female artist under yourpany, jumped ships to yourpetitor after you groomed and trained her to be sessful. When Yi Jingxi found out about it, he had a terrible fight with you and thought that you shouldnt have allowed her to break the contract. The truth is that shes your girlfriend.


    Zeng Zhun was dumbfounded. He looked like he was considering something, Youve done your research.


    Luosang shrugged. Youre in the entertainment industry. Its no surprise that you would develop something with a celebrity in yourpany, but you have to think about her position as well. You can stick around since Yi Jingxi is your friend, but you cant hinder your girlfriends career, right?


    Zeng Zhun was silent, his cigarette burning to the end already.


    I need your help. Luosang finally revealed her intentions. Im nning to appeal my fathers case, and Im hoping that you can testify against what Yi Jingxi has done. Even if you cant expose yourself, I hope you can tell the truth in court when thewyer questions you.


    Zeng Zhun was shocked and chuckled. Do you think thats possible?


    Zeng Zhun, this is for your own consciences sake. Luosang appealed to him earnestly, I know youre not like Yi Jingxi. Thest time I bumped into you at the old vi, I knew, I knew that you didnt approve of what he had done. If youre really that close to him, then you should know that my father was wronged. I dont understand Yi Jingxis feud with him, but apart from that, my father was a good man, wasnt he? Those witnesses that testified against him in court had all migrated and left the country, while hes still trapped in prison. Hes already so old, and he has been there for three years already. How much longer can he survive in there? Im sure you wont feel good if he passed away in prison like that.


    Zeng Zhun was silent. His cigarette had burned to the filter. He was probably deep in thought as he lit another one.


    Im not going to lie to you; Ive already found a convincing piece of evidence of Yi Jingxis incriminating acts. It was left behind by the victim of that case, Zeng Lijuan. It proves that Yi Jingxi had given her money. Its too bad that she passed away so she cant be called to the witness stand now. I need your help. Luosang looked at him beseechingly.


    Zeng Zhun couldnt look into her eyes. Im sorry, but I cant help you with this He was about to walk away.


    Its because my fathers health is deteriorating in there. I need to get him out quickly. You understand that with the evidence, sooner orter, Ill win the appeal case. I just need your help to speed up the process, Luosang called out behind him.


    The longer my dad stays in there, or if my dad falls ill in jail, the worse the penalty will be for Yi Jingxi when the truth is finally revealed. You might be embroiled in thewsuit as his personal assistant then, as well.


    Zeng Zhun stopped in his tracks and turned around. Luosang, are you threatening me now?


    Im just telling you how it is. Luosang shook her head.


    Think about your family members. The Yi Groups demise is set in stone. Anyway, it belonged to me in the first ce. Yi Jingxi resorted to dirty acts to steal my assets away from me. You know that better than anyone. Theres a board of directors meeting today. He wont be keeping his position as the CEO. The Yi Group has done a couple of big filmsst year, and huge amounts of funds were thrown into the projects. Coupled with the construction of this resort, you guys are bleeding money. You know that better than anyone, too. The Yi Group is struggling, while there are manypanies eyeing thepany. How long can Yi Jingxist? When he runs out of money, how is he going to cover up the truth?


    Zeng Zhuns body tensed up, and his voice was hoarse. If I betray Yi Jingxi, what will happen to my reputation in this industry?


    Youre not betraying him, youre helping him. Luosang smiled and said gently, Do you agree with the things that he has done? If you do, you wouldnt be fighting with him all the time. Youre talented. Even if you cant stay in the Yi Group, you can go over to Yuxi. Nian Junting is nning to enter the entertainment industry, and he needs talents like you. Call Lu Kang once youve made up your mind. Luosang handed him a business card.


    Brother Zeng, think about whats right and whats wrong. Do you think its right for Yi Jingxi to do such things? If you agree with his values, then forget everything I said today. Your girlfriend is in the industry, too. One day when you leave the industry, or when you get involved in awsuit, will your girlfriend still stay with you? Its the real world out here. Youll only marry the one you love if you have stable footing, Luosang said meaningfully before taking her leave.


    Wait, Zeng Zhun suddenly said. You asked about your mother

 Chapter 742. Your Mother Is Not An Ordinary Person

    Chapter 742. Your Mother Is Not An Ordinary Person


    Luosang immediately turned around, trembling slightly. She didnt expect Zeng Zhun to tell her that.


    In fact, a couple of years ago, when you were still with Mr. Yi, your mother sent you gifts. She wanted to know if youre willing to go back to her. I think Mr. Yi has taken everything she sent you and answered her mail. He told her not to interrupt your life, youll never forgive her, and something like that, said Zeng Zhun in an embarrassed, deep voice.


    Luosang stared at him with shock. Her eyes reddened instantly. It turned out that her mother didnt abandon her, that she was not dead and that Yi Jingxi had done more than one bad thing.


    Why did he do that? Does he want me to end up all alone? Luosang shivered with fear.


    How could anyone in this world be so evil? She used to love that man. This was horrible.


    Because Your mother is not just an ordinary person, Zeng Zhun said. Only Yi Jingxi has seen those things she sent you. I had no idea about it and I didnt even know her address. Once, he mentioned it to me when he was drunk so dont bother to look for the source of the mail. He erased all the records.


    The hope which had risen in Luosangs heart died again. She thought that she could finally find her family, but Yi Jingxi had cut off all the connections between her and them. She never hated him so much.


    Does he think that once I got back to my mother, he wouldnt be able to control me and bully me again? Luosang asked.


    Zeng Zhun stayed silent.


    Luosang nodded and said, Thank you for telling me this. If you didnt tell me, I may have never known the truth.


    After Zeng Zhun left, Luosang shambled back to her room, as though she was sleepwalking. Lu Kang followed behind her carefully, worrying that she might fall.


    Looking at her sad face, Lu Kang nearly copsed. Last night, Nian Junting scolded him and deducted half of his monthly wage, and this morning, Luosang was suddenly upset. Would he lose the rest of his wage?


    Half-past twelve, the door of the conference room was opened. Nian Junting walked out first, high-spiritedly. Yi Jingxi followed behind him with a sullen look, watching him being surrounded by the other shareholders.


    Last year, those people surrounded him like that. A bunch of snobbish people.


    He had spent so much effort on that film and television base, but Nian Junting cut in and took it away from him. How could he possibly ept this?


    Mr. Nian, no, its Chairman Nian now. Lets have a meal together. Mr. Fangughed and invited Nian Junting for lunch.


    All right. Ill meet you guyster. The other shareholders coordinated well with him earlier, so Nian Junting would surely ept that invitation.


    How about we go fishing together this afternoon? Mr. Lu suggested.


    No. Nian Junting shook his head. I want to spend some time in the film and television base this afternoon. Tomorrow, Ill head back to Xia City since my girlfriend is still a student. Later this year, Ill invite all of you to my wedding.


    Mr. Nian, youre going to have a great harvest this year! The othersughed.


    Thank you, everyone, for trusting me, said Nian Junting. He then turned around to look at Yi Jingxi who was behind him, then said apologetically, Mr. Yi, Im sorry. Ill be taking over your position for now. Youre pretty busy, so maybe you should leave the work in this base for the others. Also, I heard that Yi Group isnt in good condition now. If you need cash, you can probably sell your stock to me. Of course, if you dont want to sell your stock of the film and television base, you can sell Yi Group. Im willing to buy it from you. After all, thats my girlfriendspany. It can be a perfect wedding gift for her.

 Chapter 743. Im About to Have a Powerful Mother-In-Law?

    Chapter 743. I''m About to Have a Powerful Mother-In-Law?


    Yi Jingxi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His handsome face appeared contorted. Even if Im going to sell it, I wont sell it to you. He took off after saying that.


    Nian Junting grinned as he watched his angry strides.


    Mr. Fang spat at Yi Jingxis shadow. Who does he think he is? How dare he say that after stealing Miss Xuspany. If I had known about this earlier, I would have never worked with him.


    Yeah, hes a disgrace to all the men out there. Nian Junting smiled. You all go ahead to the restaurant. Ill go get my girlfriend. Im buying!


    The keys opened to the suite, and when Nian Junting stepped in, he could see Luosang curled up on the window seat. She appeared to be deep in her thoughts. When she heard the door unlock, she didnt even turn to look. She was deeply focused on something else.


    Nian Junting frowned and red at Lu Kang. What happened now?


    Lu Kang grimaced. Miss Xu has been this way ever since she talked to Zeng Zhun. I was standing a few feet away


    What else did you do apart from standing a few feet away? Nian Junting questioned him harshly.


    Lu Kang was helpless. Miss Xu told me to walk away, since she said it would help build rapport with Zeng Zhun. I overheard some bits about her mother, and I think he said something about the fact that Miss Xus mother is an important person


    Nian Juntings gaze froze, his re even more piercing now. So before I take care of my father-inws business, Im about to have a powerful mother-inw? If his mother-inw was too powerful, he could appear small and useless.


    Um I think you better ask Miss Xu about this, Lu Kang said.


    Nian Junting paused in thought for a moment before walking over to Luosang. Luo, you can tell me whats on your mind. Is it about our mother? I heard that shes a powerful person


    Luosang, who was already feeling terrible, now began to sob. Our mother She wondered if Mo Jin would beat him to death if she heard him.


    My mother came looking for me before, Luosang told Nian Junting about what Yi Jingxi had done. The more she talked about it, the more she burrowed herself in his chest. Junting, I grew up without a mother, and I was always so envious of my peers who had mothers that apanied them throughout childhood. I often cried over this when I was young as I watched my friends go shopping with their mothers. Although my father treated me well, some things werent the same without my mother. But Yi Jingxi he snuffed out the opportunity for us to reunite.


    She couldnt help but sob. I want to see my mother. I miss her so much, and I want to tell her that I dont me her for what happened. She didnt do anything wrong back then.


    Dont cry anymore. Nian Junting wiped away her tears gently. He had hardly ever seen her cry like this before. Ill help you look for her, and I will definitely make sure that your reunion happens.


    But all the evidence was erased. How are you going to find her? Luosang said in defeat. She didnt evene looking for me back when the news of my father was all over the ce. Shes probably not in the country.


    There are bound to be clues left behind. Nian Junting hugged her tightly andforted her with a whisper. I promiseby the time we get married, Ill have found your mother for you.

 Chapter 744. I Am too Rich for You

    Chapter 744. I Am too Rich for You


    Really? Luosang raised her head, looking at Nian Junting with watery eyes. Junting, she said. You have helped me so much. Youre going to clear my fathers name, and youre going to find my mother for me, but I never did anything for you


    Youre going to have my baby, and youre here with me. These are important to me. Nian Junting gently kissed her on the forehead.


    Before, he never thought this much.


    Only until he fell in love with Luosang, did he learn that as a man, there was one thing he must never do, make his woman sad or cry.


    Luosang slightly moved her lips. Nian Junting then pressed his lips against hers until she stopped trying to talk. Nian Junting then said with a deep voice, Luo, dont thank me. As your husband, making you happy is my job. Even though we havent been married yet, Ive seen you as my wife since long ago. I was a soldier and a soldier can only be with one woman in his life.


    Junting, youre so nice, Luosang said as she held him tight.


    She was sad, but after hearing his short and simple speech, she felt happy.


    He used to be sharp-tongued, but sometimes, he could say kind words.


    You dont need to be anxious about it though. The most important thing for now is still saving my father. We can find my motherter. Luosang raised her head, looked at him and said, If she really loves me and misses me, I believe, shed still show up, even though Yi Jingxi said awful words to her using my name. After all, Im her daughter.


    Hm. Nian Puntig nodded.


    But I think my mom is pretty powerful, and rich. Otherwise, Yi Jingxi wouldnt keep her away from me. Luosang abruptly tilted her head and continued, I remember my mom being a strong-minded person. What if she doesnt like you?


    Nian Junting eyes widened. How can it be possible? Ill be a perfect son-inw! If she doesnt want me, who else would she like?


    Luosang clicked her tongue and said, Maybe shell think that your family isnt rich enough.


    Nian Junting didnt know how to respond.


    Was she serious? Could anyone in the world possibly think that his family wasnt rich enough?


    Hm, what should I do? Seeing the stunned look in Nian Juntings face, Luosang sighed and said, It would be troublesome if my mother thought that your family isnt rich enough and that Im too rich for you.


    Do you want me to spank you? Nian Junting said. He found her words both funny and annoying. He raised her hip and gently patted it twice. After that, he still unsatisfied, so he gave it two kisses.


    Bad boy! The red-faced Luosang pped him, while nervously ncing at the living room. Thankfully, Lu Kang had not seen.


    Luo, dont worry. Theres no reason for your mother to not like a perfect son-inw like me. Nian Junting lifted her, saying, Get rid of those unnecessary thoughts. Lets go and have some lunch. Dont starve our little princess.


    Hm, Luosang said as she put her arms around his neck as he carried her to the VIP room.


    Yi Jingxi didnt show up at lunch.


    After three rounds of drinking, Nian Junting and Luosang sat in the car and had a tour in the film and television base. When they came back, they learned that Yi Jingxi left that afternoon.


    Without Yi Jingxi, Luosang had so much fun at the base.


    The next day, the couple flew back to Xia City.


    After the two-day trip, Luosang was exhausted. She didnt go to school that afternoon but went straight to her apartment to sleep and didnt wake up until she heard someone knock on the door.


    Luosang opened the door, seeing Nian Xi standing outside.


    Nian Xi walked in, took off her police cap and said, Thankfully, youre at home. I came here to have some dinner.

 Chapter 745. Im So Happy for You and My Brother, Im Actually Crying Tears of Happiness

    Chapter 745. I''m So Happy for You and My Brother, I''m Actually Crying Tears of Happiness


    Luosang was stunned. What are you doing here?


    Im here for a blind date. Nian Xi lowered her head to change out of her shoes. I asked out one of the researchers at your school. Hes about thirty years old, and he was using jargon the entire time. I got bored really quickly. Eh, why do you have men shoes here?


    Luosang saw them too and was a little stunned. Nian Junting hadnt left yet?


    Is it your new boyfriend or your roommates new boyfriend? Nian Xi asked curiously.


    Um She didnt know what to say. She couldnt decide if she should tell her about her getting back together with her brother. They had made an agreement not to tell other people in case it alerted unnecessary people, as it would be problematic if Jiang Qifei heard about it.


    You have a boyfriend? Nian Xi was excited. Its okay. Dont be nervous. Although you didnt be my sister-inw, Im not as unreasonable as my brother. I wont object to you dating another man. Im so happy for you that I wish my brother could see your new boyfriend. It would drive him mad. Nian Xi picked up a pear and started munching on it.


    I didnt know that you enjoyed watching me suffer. Nian Junting walked out from the kitchen with a red apron around his waist. He was holding a garlic that he was mincing, and he looked grim.


    Nian Xi spat out a mouthful of fruit when she saw him and stuttered, My brother


    You know that Im your brother? Nian Juntingughed coldly, I thought you wanted to drive me mad?


    Im sorry, brother. Nian Xi nearly knelt on the floor. I felt really bad just now, and I was just trying to hide my disappointment


    She turned towards Luosang and started crying. Sister-inw, youre my sister-inw again! Im so happy for you and my brother that Im actually crying tears of happiness.


    Luosang didnt know what to say and turned to Nian Junting. Quit fooling around. I thought you had already left.


    The auntie cante tonight, so I thought I would stay and cook for you, Nian Junting grunted and walked back into the kitchen.


    Nian Xi was in awe and hurried to the kitchen door. She had never seen her brother in the kitchen cooking before.


    Well done, Sang. When did you guys get back together? Why didnt you tell me? Nian Xi felt ufortable suddenly, since she had thought that both of them were single now. Now, she was the only single one and she felt lonely and depressed.


    Luosang blushed, a little embarrassed. It has been a while.


    Liar! Nian Xi poked at her. I thought we were soulmates going through tough times together.


    Its difficult to exin everything, but we broke up due to certain circumstances, Luosang filled her in briefly.


    Nian Xi was furious after hearing this. How could Jiang Qifei do such a thing? How shameless of her!


    So you have to keep this a secret for the time being, Luosang said.


    Dont worry, my lips are sealed. Nian Xi was happy for them but sad for herself at the same time. She sighed and turned to her brother. Brother, since youre so happy now, you have to talk to mother for me. Shes been forcing me to go on blind dates every day recently. I have three dates in one day, and its driving me nuts!


    Luosang smiled. You can try to meet them. Who knows? You might meet someone suitable! The men that auntie arranged must be of a certain standard.


    Nian Xi continued munching on her pear. There are rich young masters, famouswyers, prosecutors, artists, the hospital directors son so many I cant even remember all of them.

 Chapter 746. Theyre Not as Pretty as the Young Man that You Brought Back Last Time

    Chapter 746. They''re Not as Pretty as the Young Man that You Brought Back Last Time


    All of them sound good. Luosang believed that as Nian Xis future sister-inw, she needed to show some concern. Do you have pictures? Show me.


    My mom sent me some photos via WeChat. Go ahead. Nian Xi threw her cellphone to Luosang.


    Luosang found the photos. Some of those boys looked sunny and handsome, some looked humble and reliable, and others looked gentle and elegant. Theyre all handsome.


    So many people would be jealous of Nian Xi for having such good resources.


    Actually, I think thiswyer and this prosecutor both seem to be good matches for you. Youre a police officer. If you get married to one, you two will have a lot to talk about.


    Nian Xi sighed. Im not interested in any of them.


    I understand. Luosang nodded. After all, none of them are as pretty as the young man that you brought backst time.


    Nian Xi choked a little.


    Im kidding. Luosang smiled, I know that you dont have the room for another person in your heart.


    Ji Chuan is transferring back in July, Nian Junting said while cutting vegetables. Nian Xi immediately fell silent.


    At seven oclock, Nian Junting came out of the kitchen with well-cooked food.


    Dont you have a roommate here? I heard that she broke up with her boyfriend, too. Isnt sheing back? Id like to have a few drinks with her, Nian Xi said.


    Shes shooting a music video. Luosang looked worried. Earlier, Yan Su locked herself in her room, writing songs. She seemed to have written a song about break-up, and herpany found it pretty good. Theyve already started recording it. I think itll be released in the summer.


    What a shame. I would very much like to meet her. Nian Xi poked at her rice with her chopsticks.


    Nian Junting ignored her, but served Luosang a bowl of chicken soup. Nian Xi wanted to eat some of that soup, but her brother hit her hand with his chopsticks and said, You cant eat this.


    Nian Xi suffered. Ill only have a little of it. Whats the big deal? You made so much.


    Its okay. You know I have a poor appetitetely. Luosang pushed the soup toward Nian Xi.


    No. Youre eating for two, said Nian Junting.


    What? Nian Xi rubbed her ears. What did you just say? Is Sangsang Luosangs face turned red, while Nian Junting proudly raised his eyebrows.


    Nian Xi sprung to her feet and covered her mouth. Oh my God! You guys are so efficient! Am I going to be an auntie?


    Luosang smiled and said, Six weeks.


    Nian Xi was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, Please give me a pretty and adorable little niece! I wont be able to stand a boy like my brother.


    Luosang stayed silent. She wouldnt be able to stand a boy like that either. Unusually, Nian Junting didnt argue with her. Its surely going to be a princess, he said.


    Yeah, yeah, Im going to buy so many gifts for my little niece. My mother gave me too much money. I just cant spend it all. While speaking, Nian Xi began eating quickly. I need to finish dinner soon and then go shop for clothes for my niece.


    Your brother has already bought a lot of clothes for the baby. Luosang was a little speechless.


    Yeah, but he has poor taste Nian Xi put a piece of pork rib into her mouth, then spat it right out and said, Brother, the pork rib is undercooked. How did you cook it? Can my sister-inw eat that?


    Nian Junting nced at the pork rib, then picked up a piece of it and tasted it for himself. As Nian Xi had said, it was undercooked. How did that happen? I guess this pork rib is especially hard to cook. Before, my pork rib was always well cooked.


    Yeah? Are you sure? Nian Xi doubted that.


    Of course. Nian Junting nodded.


    Luosang quietly sipped the chicken soup. His pork rib was never well-cooked. That day, Nian Xi hade to visit and she had needed to keep herpany. Otherwise, she would never have let Nian Junting cook.

    Chapter 747. Mo Liuxi Would be Devastated if He Found Out About This


    Um, brother, Im going to head off first then. Ill go shopping for my niece! Nian Xi put her chopsticks aside and left hastily. There was no way she was going to stomach that.


    In the end, Nian Junting realized that all of his dishes were uncooked, and he was demoralized. Sang, the fire in your kitchen is really lousy. You cant me my cooking skills. Even Butler Wu and Sister Lan have praised my culinary skills before.


    Luosang rested her hand on her forehead. Anyone could cook things through, but all his food was raw.


    That night, Nian Xi sent a couple of photos to her. After she saw them, she was almost speechless. She had bought everything in the baby store, even more than Nian Junting. She had even bought toy cars and Barbie dolls.


    Luosang was clutching her stomach andughing away. It seemed like the Nian family liked girls more.


    Oh dear, baby, you really have try your best then. Dont be a baby boy, Luosang thought to herself.


    The next day, Luosang received a call from Yufan when she was getting ready for ss.


    Hello, Miss Xu, this is Chu Jiu from Yufan. I heard that you arent nning to continue with the dubbing for our game?


    The man sounded very young over the phone, Luosang paused for a while before replying, I remember that the CEO of Yufan is also a Mr. Chu


    Yes, Im the CEOs son. Chu Jiuughed as he replied, I heard your voice when you were still at thepany. I think youre perfect for the role of our lead female antagonist in the game. I thought it was quite a pity when I heard that you werent going to continue with the job. Could it be because of the incidentst time? If it is, I sincerely apologize to you. I hope that you will reconsider your decision.


    Luosang was stunned. Her work was so good that the CEOs son would call her himself?


    Thank you for yourpliments, and Im very ttered, but I cant continue with the job due to personal reasons, Luosang said apologetically. We can proceed with thepensation procedures based on the contract.


    Is it because of time constraints? Chu Jiu asked again. If you have no time in the middle of the month, we can dy it until the end of the month


    Nian Junting emerged wearing a watch. After hearing the conversation, he stepped forward to take over the phone call. I believe that my secretary already contacted yourpany. Wellpensate you for whatever is necessary. Dont call us anymore. My girlfriends voice is so perfect. Its your loss that you decided to switch her around the previous time. Theres no changing our minds; our decision is final.


    Chu Jiu was shocked. Its eight in the morning, and youre already together. Did you two spend the night together?


    Oh dear, Mo Liuxi would be devastated if he found out about this. It was the first time he had cared so much for a girl.


    Nian Juntings expression turned sour. The man was brazen enough to ask him about that. He must have been eyeing his girlfriend. Duh, shes my girlfriend. We sleep together every night. He hung up with annoyance after that.


    Luosang was staring at him with her mouth agape. You can talk to him, but why did you have to mention anything about us sleeping together?


    He brought it up first. Nian Junting returned her phone and raised his eyebrows. He wouldnt allow any rivals to get closer to her.


    Since she wasnt going to Yufan anymore, Luosang spent most of her time studying in school quietly. She would watch the news asionally, where she saw that Liao Qiulong of Qifeng Holdings finally divorced his wife. Theizens were specting if hed had an affair and shortly after, someone posted a photo of him with another woman at the marriage registry.

 Chapter 748. Liao Qiulong Started Figuring out What Really Caused the Crisis of His Company

    Chapter 748. Liao Qiulong Started Figuring out What Really Caused the Crisis of His Company


    Upon seeing that, Luosang really admired Jiang Qifei. She was over fifty years old, yet still, she had managed to talk Liao Qiulong into marrying her. Liao Qiulong was probably enchanted by her.


    He was a sessful businessman, though. He was rich and capable, therefore, even though many people had been criticizing him, he wasnt affected. However, not long after he got married again, the price of Qifengs stock suddenly began falling, and the fallsted for a whole week.


    Right after that, an article popped up on the inte. The article said that Liao Qiulongs ex-wife, Wang Ping, could bring fortune to her husband and that the reason why his business had declined so rapidly was that his current wife brought bad luck to him.


    Luosang read the article with great interest. She had always disliked men who abandoned their wives when they werent young and pretty anymore. She wondered how Liao Qiulong would feel when he read that article.


    Some people said that rich people could do anything, but in fact, most of them were a little superstitious.


    In Qifeng, Liao Qiulong read the article through his thick sses, then threw his cellphone away. Ridiculous! Can a woman possibly control Liao Qiulongs luck? Someone is clearly behind this.


    His assistant couldnt help but remind him in a low voice, This kind of thing never happened before you got divorced.


    Liao Qiulong gave him a cold re and said, What? Even you believe in this kind of article?


    The assistant lowered his head and stayed silent.


    Liao Qiulong was very unhappy. Over all these years, he had been through a lot. Reasonably speaking, hispany should have been quite stable now, buttely, the price of his stocks was out of control. He was clearly aware that the stock market was veryplicated and that someone was targeting hispany.


    While he was thinking, the stock price dropped again. Looking at the changing number, Liao Qiulong felt as if all his blood had gushed into his brain. Go, go, and find out who has undersold the stock of ourpany, said Liao Quilong, trembling.


    Yes. His assistant hurriedly walked out.


    He paced in his office. Soon afterward, he received a video call from Jiang Qifei. Qiulong, look, which one do you like? Jiang Qifei showed him two bags.


    They look pretty much the same. Liao Qiulong was feeling annoyed. He was in no mood to pick bags for her.


    They arent the same. This one is brown, and this one is ck, said Jiang Qifei with a pouting smile. I like them both. Can I get them both?


    Whatever you like. Liao Qiulong looked at Jiang Qifei on his phone screen, suddenly thinking of that article. Ever since he had married her, his business had indeed been declining.


    The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, so he just ended the call. Before long, he received the bill on his phone. Fourteen thousand dors for two bags.


    He had never thought of fourteen thousand dors as an expensive price before. But these days, millions of dors that belonged to hispany had disappeared in the stock market, and that gave him a headache. However, as his wife, Jiang Qifei knew nothing about it. She was merely obsessed with shopping.


    His ex-wife would have been too anxious to eat already. His ex-wife, Wang Ping, had been ill-tempered but thrifty.


    His assistant walked in with haste. Mr. Liao, weve found it. Mr. Liu from Banglong undersold thirty million shares.


    Liao Qiulong was so shocked that his hands were even shaking. Thats impossible. Mr. Liu and I have been good friends for so many years


    Its true His assistant gave him a bitter smile.


    Liao Qiulong hurriedly picked up his phone, found Mr. Lius number, and called him. Liu Jing, what do you want? Ive known you for decades. In those years, you asked me to help you purchase the stocks. Now, our stocks have had a ten-fold rise, yet you sold your share just now. How could you do that to me? Are you trying to kill me?


    Mr. Liu exined helplessly, Mr. Liao, I had no choice. Youve made some enemies, do you know that? If I didnt sell my shares, Id die along with you. Id be doomed if the price went back to what it was ten years ago.


    What do you mean? The look on Liao Qiulongs face turned cold.


    Look how much the price of Qifengs stocks has drifted downtely. Fromst week to when I sold my shares today, I lost hundreds of millions. Mr. Liu said honestly, I should have sold my shares earlier.


    Upon hearing that, Liao Qiulong felt a coldness in his spine. Mr. Liu had undersold his shares today. For that reason, the price would certainly go further down, and quicker. By then, more people would undersell their shares. If the situation continued, Qifeng would really go back to what it had been ten years ago. The most rapid development of the countrys economy had happened in those ten years. What would happen if thepany went back? Liao Qiulong couldnt even imagine it. Not to mention the fact that there were plenty of people in the market who would be happy to hit a person when he was down.


    Liu, why didnt you tell me that earlier? Liao Qiulongs tone became slightly more pleasant. Whos doing this to me?


    All right, for the sake of our friendship, Ill make an appointment with that man for you, said Mr. Liu. But, you may as well try to solve all the problems with him in a peaceful way. Hes a master in finance. Youre not going to beat him in his game. Besides, hes not an ordinary man.


    Liao Qiulong dropped the phone and spent a long while thinking. He couldnt think of anyone whom he had possibly offended. The only bad thing he had done recently was divorce Wang Ping.


    Did this have something to do with her? Probably not. Wang Ping was born into an ordinary family and didnt know anyone who had that kind of power. He had even disliked her for her vulgarity.


    Was it because of Jiang Qifei?


    Liao Qiulong felt so stressed. Earlier that day, when the stock price reached the bottom limit again, his heart sank along with it.


    Thankfully, he soon heard from Mr. Liu again. Thetter told him that that mysterious person would meet him at the Zui Club.


    That club was a little far away. It was already six oclock when Liao Qiulong arrived there. He pushed open the door to the VIP room and saw a young man in a dark-red suit sitting in there. The light in the room was a little dim, pouring on one side of his face. He had an incredibly handsome, chiseled face and an outstanding presence. Sitting next to him was a prettydy wearing a sky-blue long dress, looking like she was eighteen years old. She was leaning on the mans chest, her hair hanging loosely over her shoulders.


    Liao Qiulong was slightly stunned. He didnt think that he would be meeting such young people. However, he also realized that the young mans face was very familiar. Half a minuteter, he recognized him as Nian Junting, the CEO of Shengting.


    He was only around thirty, yet at financing, he was scarily gifted. Many of his peers wished that he would suffer some bad luck. However, he was doing perfectly well. He had been investing in more and more fields, from the electronic industry to futuristic techniques to the film and television industry.


    Liao Qiulong had always looked down on young people like him. He believed all that Nian Junting had was given to him by his parents, so earlier, when Jiang Qifei had asked him for a favor, he had helped her without hesitation.


    Now, after seeing Nian Junting, he started to figure out what had really caused the crisis of hispany.


    Mr. Liao, please sit down. Upon seeing Liao Qiulong, Nian Junting pointed at a chair nearby with his chin. He didnt n to stand up and greet him.

 Chapter 749. Do You Think You Can Trample on Me, Nian Junting, Like This?

    Chapter 749. Do You Think You Can Trample on Me, Nian Junting, Like This?


    Liao Qiulong had never been treated so rudely by a junior before and sat back down grumpily. Mr. Nian, if you have anything to say, you can find some time to chat with me. You dont need to backstab mypany like this.


    Come on, Mr. Liao, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Xu Luosang. Nian Junting didnt answer his question but started introducing Luosang with a happy smile.


    Liao Qiulong nodded at her, and he understood everything at once. This woman was the one who Jiang Qifei was trying to pull apart from Nian Junting. She had gone to threaten her with evidence.


    He had asked Jiang Qifei multiple times, but she had reassured him that she kept a close eye on her. She had also told him that they had already broken up. It seemed like Jiang Qifeis spies had been bought by Nian Junting.


    Hello, Miss Xu. Liao Qiulong nodded at her and took a seat opposite them.


    Luosang raised her brows. Mr. Liao, I havent been well recently at all thanks to you.


    Liao Qiulong smiled. Miss Xu, Mr. Nian, again, as I said, we can discuss things in a civil manner.


    Discuss? Nian Junting was ying with Luosangs hand. Why didnt you discuss things with us beforehand? You took Zeng Lijuans evidence and threatened my girlfriend, asking her to leave me. What do you think about that? Asking her to betray me and get together with another man.


    Liao Qiulong looked pale all of a sudden.


    Didnt you know who I was before you did all of this? Nian Junting stood up. He was a lot taller than Liao Qiulong in the first ce, but he looked like he was towering over him now. Ive never thought much about Qifeng Holdings. Although I entered the financialpany muchter than you did, I know the rules, and I y the game much better. If youre going to go against me, you need to have enough capital to y the game. We havent even started properly yet and youre already here to see me?


    Liao Qiulongughed bitterly. Yeah, we havent really started ying, but you already managed to convince my old friend Mr. Liu to dump his shares. I have to give it to you, Mr. Nian.


    Luosang thought it was funny how Liao Qiulongs face was so grim.


    He had never been humiliated like this in his life before, especially at his current age. Considering all the money in the stock market, he swallowed his pride and said, Mr. Nian, you want that piece of evidence, dont you? I dont have it with me. Its with Jiang Qifei, and she hid it well. I dont even know where she kept it.


    You can make her give it to you though, Nian Junting said casually. Youre her husband now, and its only natural that a wife obeys her husband. If she doesnt hand it over, it means that shes inconsiderate of yourpany.


    Liao Qiulong could tell that there was a chance for salvation from his tone, and he quickly nodded. Ill get it back for you for sure, but Mr. Nian, you have to


    I have to what? Nian Junting narrowed his gaze, looking menacing. Mr. Liao, we have to be clear on one thing. I have never had any encounters with you before, nor any feuds. You were the one who interfered with my rtionship. You interfered with my father-inws business and forced my girlfriend to leave me. Do you know how much agony you put us through in the past month? We had our hearts broken while you were having the time of your life, marrying your second wife. Do you think you can trample on me, Nian Junting, like this? Or do you think Qifeng Holdings is so powerful that people fear you?

 Chapter 750. You Think Hell Let Jiang Qifei Get Away with It?

    Chapter 750. You Think He''ll Let Jiang Qifei Get Away with It?


    No, no, no, Liao Qiulong hurriedly said. Mr. Nian, you have no idea. I stupidly let her get into my head. Jiang Qifei said that her daughter and you were childhood sweethearts and that when you two broke up, her daughter would be your wife. I was thinking that if that really happened, Id be your rtive, right? But, but She fooled me


    Luosang felt speechless. Back then, Jiang Qifei had still been his mistress. Rtives? So disgusting.


    Nian Junting sat back down, lifted the lid off his teacup, then picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea.


    Liao Qiulong gave a bitter smile and said, Mr. Nian, I wont beg you for anything else, but please, stop doing this. Mypany has suffered a great loss. Ill get that thing for you, then well call it even. Were all businessmen, after all. Theres no need for us to make things ugly. We can work together in the future. We, Qifeng Holdings, are nning to expand our business to Southeast Asia


    Cut the crap. In three days, deliver that thing to me, by any means. If its destroyed, youll be taking all the consequences, said Nian Junting expressionlessly. Mr. Liao, I believe that you dont want to fall back to the bottom, since youve spent dozens of years climbing to the top. Even if you wanted to start over, you wouldnt have the strength to do it. As for your sons Even though youve given them fifty percent of your assets I mean, seriously, theyre failures. Theyve failed in the education and real estate industries. I dont think you can rely on them when youre older.


    Mr. Nian, youre right. To Liao Qiulongs surprise, Nian Junting had done a thorough background check on his sons, as well. Cold sweat began oozing out of his back.


    Nian Junting was indirectly warning him that if he didnt do what he asked, he would destroy his sons, too.


    Since weve made it clear enough, lets head back. Were not close enough to have dinner together. Nian Junting told Liao Qiulong to leave.


    Sure. Liao Qiulong didnt want to have dinner with him, either.


    When he walked to the door, Nian Junting suddenly added, Ah, I almost forgot to tell you thatst time, Jiang Qifei had an ident in that parking lot because I informed your ex-wife about her. Later, she was robbed on her way back. The robber worked for me too. I have those photos now.


    Liao Qiulong was stunned. He had suspected that before. However, after it had happened, Wang Ping had a big fight with him, and Jiang Qifei was injured, so he impatiently got a divorce. Mr. Nian, you


    What? Are you going to hit me because I hurt your woman? Nian Junting clenched his fists and cracked his fingers, then said, You can try, but youre old. How many punches can you take? I nearly forgot to tell you that I used to be a special-forces soldier.


    How dare I? Liao Qiulong had no choice but to restrain his anger forcibly.


    As long as youre aware of that. Nian Junting nodded. I said all this to you just to remind you that if you told Jiang Qifei that I already knew about this, she could figure out that I had something to do with the ident that happened in that parking lot. In that case, she might not give that thing to you, since she have a grudge against me.


    Mr. Nian, dont you worry about that. No matter what way, I will make her give that thing to me, Liao Qiulong promised again before he left.


    Are you sure that Liao Qiulong can get it? Luosang started talking when it was only her and Nian Junting left in the room.


    If he cant get it, do you think hell let Jiang Qifei get away with it? Nian Junting put an arm around her. The corners of his lip turned up in a cold smile.


    Luosang paused briefly, feeling that he was right.

 Chapter 751. But You Can Only Hit Me on My Buttocks

    Chapter 751. But You Can Only Hit Me on My Buttocks


    Luosang was surprised, but it wasnt unbelievable.


    Although Liao Qiulong doted on Jiang Qifei now, if she cost him his entire fortune, gone were the days of gentle loving care. He might even beat Jiang Qifei to death.


    Nian Junting continued, For a man like Liao Qiulong, a woman is just an embellishment. Do you think he really loves Jiang Qifei? You are wrong. He is old and under no financial stress. He is just looking for a gentle and sweet woman. He might be blinded by someone like her momentarily, but once he loses everything, he wont have the leisurely time to date.


    Luosang nodded her head in agreement. I dont understand something. Why did you wait until he married Jiang Qifei before confronting him? You could have dealt with him much earlier.


    BecauseI want Jiang Qifei to suffer for the rest of her life. Nian Junting looked cunning. Not every man is as forgiving as I am. I dont mind losing a million dors for you. Im not going to stop until Qifeng is only worth a couple of dors. Although Qifeng might not go bankrupt, it would be difficult for them to regain their footing, especially at Liao Qiulongs age. After falling from such a great height, he would vent his furstrations at Jiang Qifei, and she would be an eyesore for the rest of his life. The worst part would be that he had to see all of her now that they were tied together by marriage. Jiang Qifei would never be able to escape this.


    Luosang was stunned.


    Nian Junting patted her head. Ive looked up Liao Qiulong before. He beat his first wife whenever he got into an argument with her. He was quite harsh on her.


    Luosang inhaled sharply. Are you saying that he might beat Jiang Qifei when he is in a foul mood in the future?


    Nian Junting nodded his head. A leopard wont change its spots, he said. He already has a history of beating his wife. Hell continue doing so when things dont go well in the future. Thats the reason why I waited for them to get married. If they werent married, Jiang Qifei could just walk away when things turned ugly. That would have been too easy on her. I didnt force her to marry Liao Qiulong after all. They both did so willingly.


    Arent you afraid that Liao Qiulong will divorce Jiang Qifei?


    Even if he does, hell only do so after venting his frustrations. Do you think Jiang Qifei would really spend the rest of her life with him after he lost all his fortune?


    Nian Junting looked disgusted. Jiang Qifei spends a million dors every month, he said. Liao Qiulong wont have that kind of money for her to spend anymore. She would find another man before long. You must understand that Liao Qiulong is an old man. Do you think that he still has energy in that aspect? She is looking for money. Without money and sex, Jiang Qifei wont be staying with him for long. She could betray her own marriage once. She will continue doing so. I dont think Liao Qiulong is as nice as Uncle Leng though. I want them to be at each others throats.


    Luosang felt good after hearing that. Liao Qiulong deserved it anyway. He abandoned his own wife. He despised her clothes and looks after he struck gold. He even beat her. If I were his ex-wife, I would have divorced him long ago. I hate men who beat women.


    Dont worry, Luo. Only you are allowed to beat me in the future. I am not allowed to hit you. Nian Junting was grinning from ear to ear and kissed her on her cheeks. But you can only hit me on my buttocks.

 Chapter 752. Luo, in One Month, We Can…

    Chapter 752. Luo, in One Month, We Can��


    The sudden change of the topic made Luosang feel speechless. Whats the fun of spanking you? Can I burn your little brother with a candle?


    Nian Juntings legs trembled. He looked at her in the eyes and said, If you burned me, what would you do when feeling lonely? After all, you have a strong sexual appetite.


    I dont! Luosang blushed. You do!


    I didnt even want to mention it, butst time, when I picked you up at the train station, you took off my pants even before we got into the room. You were so satisfied


    Stop! Luosang couldnt bear listening, so she covered his mouth and interrupted him saying, You took off my clothes!


    Nian Junting held her hand and grasped the opportunity of kissing her palm. Luosang attempted to pull her hand back but failed. In the end, she was dragged to his side.


    Luo, in a month, we can Nian Junting gently and passionately bit her earlobe.


    Luosang shivered, as if an electric current had just run through her body. Her entire face turned red as she responded with, Arent we talking about Jiang Qifei? Will she easily give the evidence to Liao Qiulong?


    That depends on what method Liao Qiulong is going to use. Nian Junting wore a very meaningful expression and said, If he cant do this little thing, I wonder how he earned his current status. A person can do anything if they push hard enough. Thats why I let him do it. As a soft-hearted, nice and kind person, Im not able to do evil things.


    Luosang rolled her eyes.


    Youre the big bad wolf who nned this in the dark. How could you im that youre nice and kind? she thought.


    If Liao Qiulong got the evidence, she would have to spend the whole summer vacation helping Xu Xhengxuan on the case.


    On the ride back, Liao Qiulong was thinking, and feeling more and more ufortable.


    In the end, Jiang Qifei was the reason bad things were happening to him. If it wasnt for her, he wouldnt have offended Nian Junting, or lost so much money.


    He was born along with the Chinese economic reform. When he was little, his family was poor. He built up his business from nothing.


    Now, his money was gone and he felt a tremendous pain, as though his flesh was being cut. He strongly regretted listening to Jiang Qifeis fake, sweet words. Suddenly, he thought of the article, and somehow felt that Jiang Qifei was a jinx.


    Now, before anything else, he needed to get that thing.


    When he returned to his vi, Jiang Qifei was doing her skincare very carefully. As he walked in, she nced at him, then turned back to the mirror, continuing to massage the fine wrinkles around the corners of her eyes.


    Qiulong, she said. I heard from Mrs. Hu that Switzend has developed an anti-wrinkle device. Its said that there are no side effects. Id like to try it. What do you think?


    How much? Liao Qiulong asked without thinking, as he had a lot on his mind.


    Not much, just a million.


    A million


    Thinking about the 8 billion yuan that belonged to hispany had disappeared in the stock market today, Liao Qiulongs heart instantly twitched in pain.


    Under this very situation, she still knows nothing but how to spend money.


    Qiulong, why dont you say anything? Jiang Qifei turned and asked. Seeing the angry look in Liao Qiulongs eyes, she gave a start. Whats wrong?


    You tell me whats wrong, Liao Qiulong pointed at her and said. Because of what you did to Xu Luosang, Nian Junting has be my enemy. Now hes pulled strings to bring Qifeng down. Cant you see that recently mypany lost over a billion every single day? Earlier today, Mr. Liu undersold all his shares. If this goes on, mypany might go bankrupt.

 Chapter 753. In the End, Played Like a Fool by Xu Luosang

    Chapter 753. In the End, yed Like a Fool by Xu Luosang


    Jiang Qifei paled. How did Nian Junting know? It must have been Xu Luosang who told him. That stupid bitch. How dare she y me like a fool? But thats not right. My people have been watching her and she hasnt said anything to Nian Junting, unless she told him over the phone. Fine. At most Ill destroy the thing and let Xu Zhengxuan spend his life in jail.


    Shut up, Liao Qiulong scolded. To destroy the thingdid you think that mypany is not pathetic enough as it is? Give me the thing immediately. Ill give it to Nian Junting and this incident will pass.


    No.


    Jiang Qifei rejected the idea immediately. But when she saw that Liao Qiulong became more upset, she hurriedly added demurely, Nian Junting is just a young punkpared to you. Theres no reason for you to fear him. How embarrassing would it be if people knew.


    Normally, Liao Qiulongs ego would be inted after hearing this, but after the series of setbacks this week, her words only provoked him more. Thats right. Its because I listened to these words of yours that I underestimated Nian Junting. That punk is much stronger than what you and I thought. If I could, I would have settled this on the first day, but now its getting worse and worse. If you dont give it to me now, dont speak of doing facials in the future. You wont even be able to afford a bag.


    Jiang Qifei gritted her teeth. She couldnt tolerate this.


    She originally thought she could separate the two, but in the end, she was yed like a fool by Xu Luosang.


    Now, she had to take the thing out to save Xu Zhengxuan and let his family reunite?


    What about her grievances? Who would take responsibility for her daughter not being able to have children anymore?


    I remember now. That incident I had in the carpark. Was it Nian Junting who nned it? It must be him who told Wang Ping about us. Jiang Qifei pieced it together quickly. I thought it was weird and even questioned our man who tailed Xu Luosang. He said that there was no problem, and I believed him. Now that I think about it, he must have been rted to this. How pathetic he made me look. Beaten like that by others, and even stripped in front of so all those people. These days, recalling that incident gives me nightmares.


    She grew angrier as she spoke. I wont give it to him.


    Are you crazy? Liao Qiulong scolded.


    You should take revenge for me, Jiang Qifei said with tears in her eyes. You are my husband, and you said that no one would bully me again.


    That depends on who that person is. Liao Qiulong was growing impatient. Do you not spare any consideration for mypany? When I have nothing, what can you do? Dont forget, you are still my wife. As a woman, you should always put me as your priority.


    But I cant swallow this. Jiang Qifei refused to admit defeat.


    Do you think I can? This is a disaster for me. Back then, you lied to me about how close your daughter and Nian Junting used to be. As long as Xu Luosang broke up with him, your daughter would be able to marry him. In the end, the two of them are still happily together. Also, let me tell you that all those nude photos of yours are with Nian Junting. He said that if you dont give it to her, she would upload those onto the inte and let your daughter see what youve be. When that happens, you wont have the face to see anyone.


    When Liao Qiulong was done speaking, he saw that Jiang Haofeis face was stark white. He reined in his displeasure and said gently, Give me the thing. Ill exchange it for your photos. Qifei, dont make your daughter not even want to acknowledge you as her mother. Besides, if your photos are to get out, I wont have the face to see others either.

 Chapter 754. - You Can Go After Yan Su When Luosangs Father Is Out of Prison

    Chapter 754. - You Can Go After Yan Su When Luosang''s Father Is Out of Prison


    Its all your fault. Jiang Qifei burst in tears. If your ex-wife hadnt taken those kind of photos, how could I ever fall into such a situation?


    All right, dont cry. Liao Qiulong hurriedly patted her shoulder and said, Think about it. If you insist on holding onto that thing, mypany will be gone, and your photos will be exposed. Your daughter will disown you. Is Xu Luosang worth so much? Even if you dont care about losing face, your daughter does. Now is a critical time for her to get a promotion. Listen, give it to me. I know you want to revenge, but you got to be patient about it.


    His words swayed Jiang Qifei a little. Can you really get those photos? Are you sure that Nian Junting will stop doing damage to yourpany after you gave him it?


    At the very least, he wont destroy mypany if I give it to him. If I dont give it to him, mypany will be doomed. Liao Qiulong looked at her seriously.


    At that moment, Jiang Qifei wanted to eat Xu Luosang alive.


    If she refused to give the evidence, Liao Qiulong would certainly have a grudge against her. If she didnt marry him, the worst case would be that she would leave him.


    However, they had already gotten married. The two of them were in the same boat now and she wasnt young anymore. Finding another rich man like Liao Qiulong wouldnt be easy. Also, she couldnt let Shuangwei hate her even more.


    All right, Ill give it to you. Ill get it tomorrow, she said reluctantly.


    At 9:00 a.m., Nian Junting walked out of the elevator. Qiao Xue came over and said to him, Mr. Nian, Mr. Liao from Qifeng is waiting for you in the conference room.


    Em, Nian Junting responded. After making a few steps forward, he turned back and nced at Qiao Xue.


    Mr. Nian, what can I do for you? Qiao Xue asked with a muffled voice.


    Nothing. Nian Junting headed toward the conference room. Lu Kang followed closely behind him.


    That girl seems to have lost some serious weight. Nian Junting abruptly raised his eyebrows and said to Lu Kang, I guess you have really hurt her.


    Lu Kang felt embarrassed. I didnt hurt her. Mr. Nian, you did, he thought.


    Who on earth do you like? Nian Junting said. If you dont like her, I may as well transfer her to a department downstairs, in case you guys see each other and get distracted.


    Lu Kang lowered his head and said embarrassedly, Mr. Nian, I think what you said to mest time made sense. Before, I thought I had no chance with Yan Su. Now, since she has broken up with her ex-boyfriend, I want to give it a shot.


    Em. Nian Junting nodded, What I saidst time?


    Lu Kang was speechless.


    I dont remember what I said to you before, but I believe that it mustve been something inspiring. Nian Junting patted him on the shoulder and continued saying, You can go after Yan Su when Luosangs father is out of prison.


    Lu Kang almost staggered. Thatll be at least three monthster, he said.


    Yeah, I think youre right, Nian Junting pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.


    Looking at his back, Lu Kang wanted to die.


    Are you sure that no one will try to pursue Yan Su in the next three months? She might even have a new boyfriend in three months.


    He sighed and gave a bitter smile.


    In the conference room, Liao Qiulong saw Nian Juntinging in. He quickly stood up, and handed something to Nian Junting, saying, Mr. Nian, this is what you want.


    Nian Junting took it and gave it to Lu Kang.


    Lu Kang immediately plugged it into aputer. Soon, Yi Jingxis voice was heard from theputer.


    Mr. Nian, you see, Ive already given you what you wanted. Mypany


    Dont worry. The stock price will stop falling this week, said Nian Junting with a nd tone.


    Liao Quilongs expression changed. Mr. Nian, you cant do this. Ive already given you the

 Chapter 755. Back Then, Jiang Qifei Nearly Got Married To My Father

    Chapter 755. Back Then, Jiang Qifei Nearly Got Married To My Father


    Mr. Liao, Yesterday I didnt promise if you passed me the things, I would immediately reverse the plummeting value of yourpanys stocks, did I? Im not a god. The stock prices dont rise or fall at mymand. These things take time. You dont have to worry, the price will fall by at most, four to five dors. Youll still take home a few billion to enjoy your retirement.


    Nian Junting sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs.


    Liao Qiulongs face twitched in anger.


    His familys worth had been over twenty billion, but now it was only worth a few billion.


    This made no sense to him.


    You seem to have something to say. Am I being too charitable with you?


    Nian Junting rested his arms on the back of the sofa, and said coldly, Or are you thinking you should get away scot-free after trying to y games with me?


    No


    Thats good then.


    Nian Junting was satisfied, I dont have a superb memory but who knows, in two years, after marrying my girlfriend, and living life harmoniously, all these unpleasant memories will be forgotten. Its not like we will never work together again. After all, I quite admire the entrepreneurship of someone who has taken hispany through all the ups and downs.


    Liao Qiulong could not manage a smile.


    He was now sixty-years old. In a few years, would he still have the energy to do such things?


    But Nian Junting could have been insinuating that if his marriage turned out to be less than harmonious, he would find trouble with him again.


    The thought of this gave Liao Qiulong palpitations. He felt the urge to give Jiang Qifei a dressing down.


    He hurriedly said, Ms. Xu is young and beautiful. The two of you look like a match made in heaven. Your marriage will definitely be harmonious.


    Thank you for your blessings. Mr. Liao is married too and I wish the both of you many happy years ahead. Nian Junting looked down and fiddled with his engagement ring.


    Liao Qiulong noticed the ring upon Nian Juntings ring finger. From the looks of it, he would really marry Xu Luosang soon.


    He silently cursed at his rotten luck. He should have tried to understand the rtionship between the two of them before agreeing to Jiang Qifei, or at least look at Xu Luosangs photos. He had seen for himself yesterday, a young and tender beauty. He had seen many beautiful women in his life, but only a few with such allure. What man would not fall for her?


    Speaking of which


    Nian Junting suddenly spoke in a subtle tone, I have an affinity with Mr. Liao. Back then, Jiang Qifei nearly got married to my father, I never thought she would eventually marry you.


    Liao Qiulong was startled, he did not understand his words.


    Nian Junting saw from the nk expression on his face, that he was clueless, Mr. Liao, you dont know the reason your wife divorced her ex-husband? It was because it derailed her marriage when she got involved with my father.


    Liao Qiulongs facial expressionpletely changed.


    Since he had decided to marry Jiang Qifei, he had epted that she had been divorced, but she had always maintained that she divorced her ex-husband because of their shed personalities. She had never brought this up before.


    So, you see, I became child to a single parent too.


    Nian Junting spread his palms and said with a tinge of sadness and regret, But you can understand, looking at how handsome, tall and well-built I am, my father must have looked like me when he was younger. Any normal woman would have been attracted to him. Uncle Leng just fell short ever so slightly, so


    Liao Qiulong looked as if his face was solidified in ice.

 Chapter 756. Mr. Yi, This is From the Courthouse

    Chapter 756. Mr. Yi, This is From the Courthouse


    Nian Junting was trying to tell him that Jiang Qifei cheated on her husband because she was attracted by Nian Qingyuns good lookS and great body shape. What about Liao Qiulong himself? He was old, and wasnt good in bed. So, someone like Jiang Qifei would cheat on him sooner orter.


    Last night, he was thinking that as long as Jiang Qifei gave that thing to him, he would tolerate her and try to live a good life with her. Little did he think, she turned out to be a slutty bitch.


    And he was so fooled by her.


    Many men were like him. They allowed themselves to cheat on their wives, but demanded their wives to be one hundred percent loyal.


    I think she hates me so much because my father isnt willing to marry her even after he got divorced, Nian Junting clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, Years ago, she and my mother were good friends. But still, she did something like that. Earlier, she went to my fathers office to inquire after his health. For their old storys sake, that stupid father of mine wasnt on alert against her, but let her take that thing away.


    Every word Nian Junting said was like a knife sticking right into Liao Qiulongs heart, making him want to die.


    He just realized that he divorced his wife for a woman like that. Because of what he did, his children and grandchildren even stopped visiting him.


    Was he blind? Or was she really that good at faking?


    Mr. Liao, I didnt say these things to sow discord between you and your wife. After all, those things happened eight or nine years ago. If youd like to know the details, Im sure you can find some. But think about it: if she didnt do those awful things, why was her daughter estranged from her? Perhaps she has changed after all the lessons she learned.


    After saying that, Nian Junting sighed again, stood up, and continued, Mr. Liao, Im not going to show you out. I still got a lot of work to do.


    Sure, sure, Liao Qiulong felt as if a fire was burning inside his head. Within that fire, was Jiang Qifeis face.


    Because of her, he had fallen into such a miserable state.


    And he, he was so, so stupid. After bing his girlfriend, that woman continued to visit Nian Qingyun and flirt with him.


    He had never met Nian Qingyun. However, judging from Nian Juntings good looks, he could tell that Nian Qingyun was not ugly.


    The more he thought about that, the angrier he became. He wanted to tear Jiang Qifei to pieces.


    After he left, Lu Kang couldnt help but give Nian Junting a nce, thinking that his boss was so venomous. With only a short speech, he had made sure that Jiang Qifei would suffer for the rest of her life.


    Mr. Nian, just now, the look in Liao Qiulongs eyes was rather scary, said Lu Kang.


    Did I say anything wrong? Nian Junting raised his head slightly, and pulled an innocent-looking face.


    You didnt say anything wrong. You were only telling the truth. Lu Kang gave him a thumbs up. I finally understand why you waited until those two got married.


    In order to marry Jiang Qifei, he had divorced his ex-wife, and pushed away his sons. For that very reason, he would hate her even more after finding out the truth.


    He would probably torture Jiang Qifei hard until she wanted to give up on her life, before he agreed to get a divorce with her.


    Alright, call An Lan and her team now, Nian Junting turned the SD card in his hand, and said, Its time to review the case.


    In June, the hottest time of the year in An City began.


    In an office in the Yi Group building, Zeng Zhun pushed open the door and walked in, and immediately heard Yi Jingxi yelling into his phone. How did he nder Yi Group on Weibo earlier? There is no chance for private settlement! Well go through the legal proceedings! If he wants to cancel the contract, hes gonna pay the penalty, every penny of it!


    Finished talking, he ended the call. His face radiated ice.


    Mr. Yi, this is from the courthouse, said Zeng Zhun, and handed him the file.

 Chapter 757. Your Daughters The Only One Whos Precious, Im Just A Strand Of Weed

    Chapter 757. Your Daughter''s The Only One Who''s Precious, I''m Just A Strand Of Weed


    Another contract release? Yi Jingxi threw the documents onto the table, Who is it this time?


    Recently, tons of artists had sequentially requested releases from their contracts. Thus, it was a busy time at the court.


    Zeng Zhun looked solemnly at the documents on the table, before saying, Its not about a contract release. You should take a look. The court has received an appeal towards Xu Zhengxuans case and the first hearing begins at the end of June. These documents are the summons from court.


    Yi Jingxis pupils suddenly constricted. He opened the documents quickly and scanned through them, a crestfallen expression over his face.


    Because you were the relevant witness back then, Zeng Zhun reminded him.


    I wont attend. Get me Lawyer Cao right away, Yi Jingxi said.


    Zeng Zhun sighed, Sorry, when I came, I contacted Lawyer Cao and he said he has been very busy recently. Hes not free toe down.


    Yi Jingxi stood up aggressively and swept the items on his desk onto the floor, Have I not been generous with him in the past two years? Now were still afloat, and hes already trying to run, bastard.


    Zeng Zhun saw that he was infuriated and did not know whether to sympathize with him or not.


    Mr. Yi, if you dont mind me saying, this case was a sensation back then. Even when Nian Junting assembled his team ofwyers, their repeated appeals were rejected time and time again because the court knew that this case would be a sensation amongst the public. However, seeing the court epted the appeal, I believe Ms. Xu wields a key piece of evidence which may prove that Xu Zhengxuan is innocent.


    Yi Jingxis heart dropped.


    After a while, he looked shocked and fearful.


    Since Yi Jingxi had decided to frame Xu Zhengxuan, he had thought of the possibility that he might be brought to justice eventually, but being optimistic, he had gradually left these thoughts in the deep recesses of his mind.


    Tell the court that Im busy and wont be attending, he said after a while.


    What if the court sends a stronger summon letter? Zeng Zhun asked.


    If Lawyer Cao is noting, get Lawyer Jin, Yi Jingxi said hesitantly.


    At Xia City


    Because Xu Zhengxuans case would be reopened in court soon, Luosang left for Sheng Ting immediately after ss, taking the subway. As soon as she entered the CEOs office, Nian Junting saw that she was drenched in perspiration. Her face had been sunburnt, with strands of wet hair stered to her forehead.


    His expression fell. He could not help but chide her, Why didnt you tell me earlier that you wereing? I would have sent my chauffeur to pick you up. Look at you, pregnant and all. What if something happened to my little princess?


    Luosang was initially touched, but now she rolled her eyes, I was the one under the hot sun. You only care about your daughter.


    Nian Junting sighed loudly, If you want to be sunburnt, thats your choice, no one forced you to. However, my little princess is to be pampered. She would feel ufortable in the heat. Youve not spared a thought for her.


    Your daughters the only one whos precious, Im just a strand of weed, Luosang thought to herself.


    Luosang gritted her teeth, Dont you know the first trimesters the period in which you should be the most careful? You should show more consideration for me.


    Youre right, Nian Junting could not help but raise his eyebrows, Look at how much youre obsessed over yourself, instead of my darling princess.


    All right, I understand. Once our daughter is born, I wont mean anything to you. Luo Sang could not help but feel bitter.


    How old are you to be envious of a baby? Childish, Nian Junting patted the sofa beside him, Sit and Ill peel an apple for you.

 Chapter 758. Mr. Nian is So Proud

    Chapter 758. Mr. Nian is So Proud


    I dont want an apple, I want watermelon! Luosang fixed her eyes on the freshly-cut watermelon. The weather was excessively hot. She already felt drained.


    Before Nian Junting responded, she walked over and cut off arge piece of watermelon for herself. However, Nian Junting stopped her as she was going to start eating. Stop. This parental APP says that a pregnant woman shouldnt eat watermelon, because its too cold.


    Luosang was speechless. Dont make a big deal about it. Ive read it too. Itll be okay, as long as I dont eat too much.


    Im still worried, Nian Junting took the watermelon from her and ate it himself.


    Luosang wanted to bite him to death.


    That was why she didnt want to live with him. Ever since she had gotten pregnant, he had forbidden her from eating many things.


    An Lan, who had been sitting off to the side watching them,ughed. Mr. Nian, you dont actually need to be so careful. When my sister was pregnant, she ate anything. You only need to avoid those foods which might lead to abortion.


    Nian Junting finished the watermelon, wiped his mouth elegantly, then said, Can your sisters child bepared to mine? My child is going to be a princess, a precious little girl.


    An Lan couldnt keep the smile on her face.


    Thankfully, she had gotten used to his sharp-tongue long ago.


    Luosang gave Nian Junting a re, said, In parents eyes, their own child is always a precious gift. Then, she turned to An Lan and continued, Miss An, ignore him. Hows my fathers case going?


    Yi Jingxi used work as an excuse, and refused to appear in court at first. But the courthouse has served him with a summons.


    Speaking of that, An Lan smiled. ording to some internal sources, Yi Jingxis former legal adviser, Cao Guanglun wont be responsible for the case this time.


    Luosang knew pretty well about somewyers, as she had been trying to help her father with the case in the recent few years. Cao Guanglun is a top-rankedwyer. I heard that hes been practicing for thirty years, and rarely loses cases. If hes not going to take part, well have one less opponent.


    Man struggles upwards. Yi Group is going downhill. A snobbish man like Cao Guanglun wont waste time on Yi Jingxi, Nian Junting smiled faintly, and said, Besides, I sent my message to him long ago. I told him that if he helped Yi Jingxi, hed be my enemy.


    Luosang understood. It turned out that Nian Junting had pulled strings behind the scenes. Junting, youre amazing.


    Everybody knows that.


    Beingplimented by Luosang in front of someone else, Nian Juntings vanity was satisfied. He smiled broadly, and looked at her proudly.


    Seeing that, An Lan felt really speechless. Mr. Nian looked so proud. Anyway, I think Jin Chengpeng is going to be Yi Jingxiswyer this time. Ive met him a few times. He is capable, but not as good as Can Guanglun. Im absolutely sure that I can win against him. Not to mention the fact that Kashiwa has already agreed to testify. If Zeng Zhun can stand up for you too, and add to the evidence that weve collected, we will be sure of winning.


    Zeng Zhun hasnt called me yet, Luosang said, a little disappointed.


    Nian Junting pinched her pink cheeks and said, Be patient and wait. We only need him to show up in court. This case might need more than one court session.


    Em, Luosang replied with a low voice.


    Mr. Nian, I gotta go. Im going back to myw firm to study this case with my colleagues. Seeing the intimate act between Nian Junting and Luosang, An Lan stood up awkwardly, and decided to give them some space.

 Chapter 759. Were You Eavesdropping On Our Conversation?

    Chapter 759. Were You Eavesdropping On Our Conversation?


    Lawyer An, let me send you off, Luosang got up quickly.


    Nian Junting frowned, displeased. Since when was it the job of hisdy to send people off?


    Luosang ignored his expression and held An Lans elbow as she walked her out of the office.


    Are you going make any usations against me? An Lan grinned and asked suspiciously, Because of my trip to Yonghe Lama Temple with Mr. Nian when we were in Beijing?


    Luosang felt her face turn red with embarrassment, Do I look that petty? I just wanted to thank you. You evidently have feelings for Junting, but youve spared no effort in helping me. Moreover, you never tried anything funny with Junting in Beijing. Instead, you cooperated with him for the performance. An Lan, I do quite admire you.


    Stop it, Im not as noble as you say.


    An Lan raised her hand and smiled suddenly, I took up your case because Mr. Nian paid me a lot of money. Its bought me a good reputation too. Many would dly take up a case for Mr. Nian.


    Luosang shook her head, I dont think so, Lawyer An, youre a good person. If its possible, Id like to be friends with you.


    Ah, but I might not want to be friends with you, watching you and Mr. Nian being in love. Being old and single, its likely that Ill grow jealous, An Lan slowed down, You dont have to send me from here, go back in quickly. Youre pregnant and if anything happens to you, Mr. Nian will be wanting answers from me.


    Luosang stopped and watched as An Lan walked away gracefully in her high heels, before returning to Nian Juntings office.


    As soon as she entered, she caught Nian Junting darting from behind the door, back towards his desk. He was pretending to have been walking around the office. Ive sat for too long, Im just stretching my arms.


    Luosang tried to suppress herughter, Drop your act. Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?


    Whats there to eavesdrop on in a conversation between two women? Nian Junting said arrogantly, I was just picking up something from the floor.


    Let me see then, Luosang walked forward to pry his hand open.


    There was nothing in his palm.


    Nian Junting could not maintain his expression and finally confessed, I was afraid that youd begin a fight with her from being jealous of what happened in Beijing.


    Am I that kind of person? Luo Sang said, I quite like An Lan, Id like to be friends with her.


    Like


    This word made Nian Junting immediately avert his gaze to re at her, Whats there to like? Liking me will be enough for you.


    Shes a good woman.


    Ive never felt so, Nian Junting said inly, Apart from the fact that she looks like a woman, what else about her is womanly?


    Luo Sang thought to herself, How upset An Lan would be if she found out the person she liked did not even think of her as a woman?


    I think shes quite pretty and has a strong womanly character. Luo Sang could not help but praise her. She has a big heart and shes generous. I want to be like her.


    Nian Junting answered without skipping a beat, Stop whining. Look at how beautiful you are. How can you ever be like her? Unless you turn ugly yourself.


    Although Luo Sang was speechless, she felt quite blissful, having the person she loved praise her like this. Im talking about being a strong woman. I want to be like Lawyer An, making a name for herself in her industry. In this life, apart from love, one must dream too. Im pregnant now, though.


    I dont object to you bing a strong woman, but in front of me, you must be gentle. You must be gentle only for me.

 Chapter 760. You Have Remembered My Birthday Long Time Ago

    Chapter 760. You Have Remembered My Birthday Long Time Ago


    After saying that, he suddenly showed great interest. Pulling her into his arms, he said, Like a female police officer. Out there, you fight, but at home, in front of me, youre like a little girl. Thats so interesting.


    The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched slightly. She couldnt help but pinch his arm and say, Im sorry. I cant fight, and I cant be as strong as steel. But, I think Leng Shuangwei can. Shes still unmarried, so you guys have a chance. She can fulfill your morbid appetite.


    Dont mention Leng Shuangwei to me. My entire body will feel ufortable once I thought of her mother.


    Nian Junting kissed her on the cheek and then said, Luo, do you know what day the fifteenth next month is?


    Luosang was confused, and asked, What day?


    Im not telling, Nian Junting let go of her, spinning gracefully away to sit in hisrge armchair.


    Your birthday? Luosang frowned.


    You guessed it so easily, Nian Junting crossed his arms across his chest, responded with satisfaction, I guess you have remembered my birthday from a long time ago.


    I havent, said Losang.


    Stop pretending, Nian Junting shook one finger, If you didnt know, how could you guess it out so easily? You must have been thinking about what gift to give me for months, right? Prepare it seriously. I wont ept it, unless its a delightful surprise.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. He had named that date so specifically. Anyone would think that it might be his birthday. She seriously did not know that his birthday was near. She had never seen his ID.


    Youre gonna be thirty this year, right? She asked.


    Yeah, so I cant have a candlelight dinner with you, Nian Junting sighed helplessly. I need to have a meal with my family. During the meal, Ill also tell them the good news that youre pregnant. Jiang Qifei has given us the evidence, so we dont need to keep it secret anymore.


    Luosang didnt want to see Nian Juntings family. Things had not ended well thest time.


    Dont worry. Youre pregnant now. Youre like a national treasure. They all need to be extra friendly to you. Nian Junting snorted, I didnt want to celebrate my birthday with Nian family people. Im only doing it for my grandmothers sake. Shes not young anymore. Well only book two tables for family.


    Will that seems too humble for your 30th birthday? Luosang had seen many rich men who booked tens of tables for their 30th birthdays.


    Humble is good. I only want to spend more time with you on my birthday. I prefer to be with you. Being with the others is boring, Nian Junting pped his thighs, and said, Sit over here.


    Luosang curved her lips into a smile. She felt sweet toward him, but still she rejected his invitation. You should start working. Im going to study in the living room. An examination for the third-year students is near.


    She took her bag and headed to the living room.


    At five oclock in the evening, Nian Junting finished his work and headed back to Tianhu Vi with Luosang.


    On their way, while Nian Junting was driving, Luosang felt a little bored. So she turned on the radio and heard the presenters pleasant voice saying, Now, lets enjoy Yan Sustest single End in Smoke. This song soared to the top of the best seller chart as soon as it was released. It is very popr. I heard that Yan Su wrote the lyrics herself. Shes not only pretty, but also talented. This is a sad song, more suitable for broken-hearted times. It is really good. I like it very much. Hear it, and I bet youll agree.

 Chapter 761. Its Been Three Months

    Chapter 761. It''s Been Three Months


    Yan Sus mesmerizing voice soon resonated within the car.


    Luosang immediately increased the volume on the radio. This was Yan Sus newest song, and it was also the song she wrote following her break up with Shi Xiang. Unexpectedly, it had now be a chart-topper, and she often heard it ying wherever she went.


    Luosang felt happy for Yan Su and could not help but tell Nian Junting, Isnt this song nice? Its Susus new song.


    Is that so? Nian Junting said as he turned the steering wheel. Its all right, its average. Apart from the songs you sing and the songs in the army, I dont really enjoy anything else.


    Luosang was a little put off, but after thinking for a moment, she remembered that he did not listen to many songs.


    I think Yan Su will be really popr.


    Luosang said excitedly, Shes been busy recently, performing everywhere and taking part in variety shows. I havent seen her for a week.


    It was not impossible for Yan Su to catch up to Shi Xiang now, but who knew how Shi Xiang might feel if the both of them were to meet again in the social circle of entertainment.


    Isnt that good? She might have lost some in her love life, but gained much in her career, Nian Junting said inly.


    Luo Sang listened intently to the song and felt a tinge of envy. Susus career was taking off and as her friend, she would have to give birth to her child after graduation instead, would the two of them slowly drift apart in future?


    No way, she thought. She had to work hard too. Even if she was pregnant, she would not let ite in the way of her studies.


    After returning to the vi and having dinner, Luosang continued to work on her thesis. Nian Junting continued his work on the other end, the two of them engrossed in their own business.


    At past ten, as Luosang was researching on a passage of content, a strong force suddenly lifted her from her chair. Eximing, she raised her head to see Nian Juntings handsome face.


    He looked down, his eyes shining. Luo Luo, its been three months.


    Luosang froze. After regaining her senses, she blushed. Are you sure its been three months?


    Im sure and certain. Nian Junting nodded. Ive been keeping count of the days.


    Without waiting for her reply, he carried her out of the study.


    On the way, they bumped into Sister Lan holding onto a bowl of millet porridge. At the sight of them, she blushed and said hurriedly, Sangsang, Ive made some porridge for you. Youve been hungry frequently these few days.


    Oh, I am a little hungry. Thank you, Sister Lan. Luosang wanted to climb down from Nian Juntings arms, but he held on to her tightly. She said shyly, Sister Lan, could you help me bring it to the bedroom?


    Sure. Sister Lan nced at the two of them and went to set the bowl of porridge down in the bedroom. She watched as Nian Junting set Luosang down on the sofa.


    Its still hot. Sister Lan reminded her. Tell me when youre finished and Ille by to take the bowl.


    Therell be no need. Well just keep it until the morning, Nian Junting said inly. How long would eating a bowl take? Time was now precious at night.


    Luosang pretended not to understand anything and ate her porridge. As she ate, she twirled and yed with her hair. The tips of her ears showing a tinge of red.


    Sister Lan, being familiar with them, immediately could tell what was going on.


    She walked towards the door, but out of concern, she could not help but turn around to remind them, Master the doctor said you shouldnt for the first three months. The child might not be settled. Be careful.


    Mm, I know. Its been three months, Nian Junting said expressionlessly.


    Luosang coughed. She wanted to bury her entire face in the bowl. This scoundrel. The way he spoke, was akin to telling Sister Lan what they would to do tonight.


    He might be shameless, but not her.

 Chapter 762. Im Tasting You

    Chapter 762. I''m Tasting You


    Good, good, Sister Lan sighed with relief. She gently closed the door for those two, but before the door was locked, she added with concern, You cant make it too intense.


    Luosang spooned the millet congee into her mouth.


    Then, she wiped her mouth whileining, Sister Lan


    Ahyaya, Im only worried about you, Sister Lan tittered, hurriedly closing the door.


    The room instantly fell into silence. Luosang could feel Nian Juntings burning gaze on her body. She pretended not to feel anything, but quietly eating the congee.


    Recently, the smell of any food would make her sick. The millet congee tasted good, though.


    As she finished half of the bowl of congee, and feeling a little full, Nian Junting slowly approached her, and said with a low and gentle voice, Luo, let me taste it.


    Luosang turned, and saw his delicate face. The light poured across him, so bright and beautiful.


    She was dazed for a moment. Nian Junting pressed his lips against hers.


    He never liked millet congee, but now, tasting the refreshing aroma from her mouth, he couldnt even describe how good it was.


    Their lips rubbed harder against each other. Luosang shivered and flinched. Her entire body started burning. Dont you want some congee?


    When did I say that I want congee? I said that I want to taste it. I want to taste you, Nian Junting smiled, took the bowl from her hand, then leaned toward her. Luosang automatically leaned backward, slowly lying back on the couch.


    She raised a hand to push his chest awat, then bit her lip and said with a shy look in her eyes, I havent finished it yet.


    Dont I know you? You have a very small appetite. If you eat more of it, youll throw up, Nian Junting lowered his head, and slowly came close to her lips.


    Luosang moved further and further backward, but still ended up in his mouth.


    His scorching hot breath spread on her cheeks, and made her tremble and burn.


    Maybe because she was pregnant, or because they hadnt done it for quite a while, her body was more sensitive than usual.


    At first, she had the aroma of the millet congee lingering in her mouth. However, as he swept across her mouth over and over again, nothing but his scent was left there.


    It was a hot summer. The air conditioning was on, but still, Luosang found his muscr arm surprisingly hot. That warmth blurred her mind.


    She didnt even know how she hade to the bed.


    When she realized what had happened, her clothes had gone. She was so shy that she turned and climbed under the quilt. The thin silk quilt wrapped her beautiful body; her ck, shiny hair fanned across her jade-like skin. At a nce, Nian Junting felt his blood rushing right into his brain.


    He hurriedly crawled under the quilt as well, and enfolded her into his arms.


    Luosang raised her head, leaned against his chest, and looked at his handsome face. Her cheeks reddened.


    Nian Junting smiled, helped her to sit up on him.


    Luosang held his arms and said with a soft voice, Be gentle. Thest syble went up a little, instantly melting Nian Juntings heart.


    He hadnt had sex for months. At that moment, he really wanted to vent all his strength. But he didnt dare to make anyrge movements, as he was afraid that that might hurt the baby.


    He could only be painfully careful.


    Luosang found itfortable, though. He rarely acted so gently and carefully. She felt like she was under perfect protection, and she had a couple of orgasms.


    Around eleven pm, Nian Junting held the cat-like, softdy in his arms. He was in a very good mood, as he had just had sex. He stroked her lower belly with both hands, saying, Luo, I think your belly is a littlerger than before.

 Chapter 763. Court Session 1

    Chapter 763. Court Session 1


    Luosang had never been the slightest bit chubby. On hearing what he said, she pulled his hands away in a moment of vexation. Im already three months pregnant and my waist is definitely going to berger. If you dont want that, then stop touching me.


    How can that be? I like touching pigs. Nian Junting quickly grabbed her again.


    Luosang was quite offended. Are you going to keep speaking that way? Ive only gained three kilograms, and youre calling me a pig.


    Nian Junting blinked indignantly. What I mean is, youll turn into a pig sooner orter anyways, so Im just pre-empting you so that you wont let your mind run wild about a poor body imageter on.


    So, it would not take a few months for her to already be a pig, then.


    Afterall, Luosang was still a youngdy. Which youngdy would not want to be slim and pretty? His words made her want to vomit blood.


    Forget it, she thought. He had been more vicious with his words in the past so there was an improvement.


    Luosang turned to the opposite side, not wanting to entertain him any longer.


    The first session of Xu Zhengxuans court case was at An City on the 30th of July at 2:00 pm.


    Luosang was about to go on summer vacation. She had an examination that day and thought of applying for a leave of absence, but Nian Junting did not allow it. He said the fourth year of college was most stressful and now that she was pregnant, it would be much easier for her in the next semester if she could pass her examinations early.


    However, Luosang could not shake the thought of Xu Zhengxuans case off her mind.


    When her examination ended at noon, Lu Kang immediately picked her up and drove her to the airport, where she took a ne to An City.


    When she reached the courthouse, it was already 3:00 pm. There was a crowd of reporters outside the courthouse. When the news broke that Xu Zhengxuan would appeal, it ignited a flurry of public attention.


    The reporters had already arrived early in the morning before the court was in session.


    As Luosang stepped out of the car and walked towards the entrance, a crowd of reporters surrounded her. Ms Xu, Xu Zhengxuan was able to submit an appeal sessfully this time. Did Mr. Nian pull some strings?


    I heard that the victims from then have passed on. Is this how youre nning on gaining an advantage?


    Luosang heard the flurry of questions thrown at her by the reporters and could not help but stop in her tracks and re at them coldly. While youre asking all these questions, havent you investigated why our appeals have been rejected over three times? Weve assembled a team ofwyers and began work since March. Its been four whole months already. If we really had strings to pull, why would we need to waste so much time? These questions show no respect for our countrysws, and we can sue all of you for defaming Mr. Nians reputation.


    Ignoring the look on the reporters faces, she quickly walked in.


    The trial was open, and as Luosang walked into the room, she noticed An Lan standing up. She wore awyers dark robes, while Yi Jingxi wore a ck suit in the witness stand. It reminded her of the previous time, when he stood in the same position, hurling obscene usations at Xu Zhengxuan.


    Mr. Yi Jingxi. An Lan held a fountain pen in her hand, her voice clear and loud. ording to your testimony that year, you mentioned that you personally saw Zeng Lijuan emerge from Xu Zhengxuans office in untidy clothes.


    Yes, Yi Jingxi said as he nodded with a cold expression on his chiseled face.


    An Lan nodded as well. Out of the blue, she suddenly asked, Mr. Yi, after Xu Zhengxuan went to prison, did hispany Xu Pictures be yours? It has be Yi Pictures as of today.


    Yi Jingxi frowned. This question has nothing to do with the case. I am a witness, not a suspect.


    The judge frowned. An Lan quickly said, Your Honor, this question is relevant to the case, you will find out why soon enough.

 Chapter 764. Court Session 2

    Chapter 764. Court Session 2


    The judge nodded and said, Witness, please answer her question.


    Yes, without other choices, Yi Jingxi answered the question. I did it with proper means though


    As a witness, you only need to tell us yes or no, An Lan interrupted him, Mr. Yi, have your mother, Chu Lei, and Xu Zhengxuan known each other for a long time?


    Yi Jingxis face twitched slightly.


    He knew that Nian Junting must have done a background check, and that he would have evidence for this question. So, he responded with, Yes.


    Was there a personal issue or love-rted problem between your mother and Xu Zhengxuan?


    I refuse to answer this question. Let me repeat this again. Im not a suspect. I am a witness. You have no right to question me like that. Yi Jingxi said.


    An Lan smiled, and continued with an aggressive tone. Your mother was once Xu Zhengxuans student. She pursued Xu Zhengxuan. Back then, Mr. Xu was already married


    Enough! Yi Jingxis eyes shone fiercely. For what youve said, I can sue you for a personal attack and ndering my mother!


    Counselor, be aware of your questions, the judge warned An Lan.


    An Lan calmly picked up an SD card from the table, and said, Judge, I have a recording which is rted to the case.


    Yi Jingxi fixed his eyes on the SD card, and his pupils suddenly contracted.


    A clerk plugged the SD card into a stereo. Then, Zeng Lijuans voice could be heard in court. What if they found out? This is too risky. Besides, people will hate me if they know the truth.


    If you have the courage to take the risk, Ill send you out of the country when its done. Then, a mans cold, deep but very tempting voice was heard. You are an orphan, and youre poor. Even if you work hard enough to finish your studies in college, you may still not be able to live a good life. Ill give you five million, andplete the migration procedures for you. Youll be living afortable life abroad.


    But the judge wont believe that Principle Xu molested me so easily, right?


    That, you dont need to worry about. Ill arrange everything.


    The recording ended abruptly.


    The courtroom stayed silent for a few seconds, and then people started whispering to each other. The jury, the spectators, and the reporters all turned to Yi Jingxi in shock. He had just talked, so they all recognized his voice from the recording.


    Yi Jingxi closed his eyes.


    His handsome face was tight and otherwise expressionless.


    Xu Zhengxuan, who was despondent in the prisoners box, suddenly raised his head and stared at Yi Jingxi angrily. Yi Jingxi, you framed me! Why did you do that to me? Ive treated you like my own son ever since you got engaged to my daughter.


    Yi Jingxi opened his eyes. He didnt look at Xu Zhengxuan, but calmly looked at the judge and said, Judge, they are framing me. I intend to stay silent.


    An Lan smiled faintly, and said, The recording doesnt lie. The technicians can easily find out if its fake. Judge, on behalf of my client, I want to use Yi Jingxi of falsely using Mr. Xu of indecency and illegally upying the Xu Family property two years ago.


    The judge frowned and talked with the jurors for a while, saying, there is a change in the case. The trial will be postponed to a week from now. Mr. Yi, by then, you will be the defendant


    After the trial, reporters surrounded Yi Jingxi.


    Mr. Yi, do you hate Xu Zhengxuan because he abandoned your mother? Is that why you framed him?

 Chapter 765. This Presuming Son-in-law-to-be

    Chapter 765. This Presuming Son-inw-to-be


    Yi Jingxi was blinded by the shes of light. Shielding his eyes, he said coldly, Please watch your mouths, stop hazarding guesses and making baseless usations against my mother, or Ill not go easy on you all.


    With that, he shoved aside the reporters. His bodyguards followed close behind, keeping the reporters at bay as they walked briskly outwards.


    Luosang red at him from behind, before running after Xu Zhengxuan. Dad.


    Xu Zhengxuan was about to be taken away by the policemen. At the sight of her, his face broke into a smile. Sangsang, its been tough on you, youve been so busy because of my affairs.


    Luosang saw that Xu Zhengxuan no longer appeared as weak as before. Before she could say anything else, Nian Junting walked up briskly and rested his hand on her shoulder and said abruptly, Dad, dont say that, its only right for me to be busy over your matters.


    Luosang, .


    She was sure that Xu Zhengxuan was referring to her, and not Nian Junting.


    As for this presuming son-inw-to-be, Xu Zhengxuan was momentarily at a loss of words, but before he could react, the policemen took him away.


    Walking over in her high heels, An Lan wore a huge smile on her face. Mr. Nian, Ms. Xu, rest assured. The truth of the matter will surface soon enough, and your fathers grievances will be redressed.


    Lawyer An, youre really capable. Luo Sang stuck her thumbs up in admiration. You were reallypelling in court. How admirable.


    She had never seen awyer as young and capable as An Lan was. No wonder Nian Junting chose to work with her all these years.


    You must always be fearless and confident no matter what, then the judge will naturally believe you. An Lans lips curled into a smile. Of course, you have to thank Mr. Nian for coting all the evidence.


    Im helping my own woman. Whats there to thank? Its only right, Nian Junting said as he took Luosangs arm and walked out.


    Luosang held on to his waist tightly. With every step she took, she felt her heart tremble with emotion.


    At the exit, she turned back to look at the courthouse. Her eyes started to water uncontrobly.


    Whats the matter? Nian Junting looked at her concernedly.


    Its like Im in a dream.


    Luo Sang gave him a teary smile. Its not my first or second time here at An City courthouse. Ill never forget how helpless and deste I felt when I walked out of this courthouse three years ago, with everybody scolding and saying nasty things about my father. It was so crowded that I could not even leave the courthouse. The reporters were stuffing their microphones into my face. I heard the nastiest things ever. Afterward, when I kept returning to submit my appeals, the security guards here even started to recognize me and started denying me entry. I never imagined there would be a day when I could stand justified to appeal in my fathers case. Junting, I know Im so fortunate to have met you. You sheltered me from the rain. You helped me stand tall and proud. You helped me see the light.


    Silly. Nian Junting looked down and wiped the tears from her eyes.


    When Xiao Si first uncovered the hardships that Luosang had suffered in An City, Nian Junting swore that he would never let harme to her again. If Xu Zhengxuan was innocent, he would do all he could to prove it.


    He only wondered, why had he not met her earlier?


    Its all in the past. With me around, you will only be able to bully others.


    Luosang smiled, breaking intoughter as she nodded.

 Chapter 766. Yi Jingxi Has No Intention of Confessing

    Chapter 766. Yi Jingxi Has No Intention of Confessing


    Looking at them, An Lan felt gratified. She liked Nian Junting. But thetter did not share the same feelings. So she believed that bing work partners with him was a good enough choice.


    Yi Jingxi drove all the way back to the Yi Group building. As soon as he entered the office, he kicked the table gruffly and yelled with anger, Where the hell is Jin Chengpeng? Didnt I call him on my way?


    It takes about an hour for him to get here from hisw firm. Zeng Zhun followed him closely into the office. After answering his question, Zeng Zhun continued helplessly, Mr. Yi, I think the current situation isnt good for you. You should turn yourself in. Now, Luosang is going to charge you with two counts. If you take the initiative to confess, the judge might give you a lighter sentence. Even if youre not thinking of yourself, you need to think of your mother. Shes over fifty years old, and has been living in a nursing home. If you went to prison, who would take care of her? If that did happen, I think you may as well sell the shares of thepany. At the very least, you can ensure your mothers quality of life while youre in prison


    Before he finished his rambling thought, Yi Jingxi punched him in the face. Do you want me to go to prison? Yi Jingxu grasped his cor, raging, and shouted, Zeng Zhun, are you on my side or on Nian Juntings? Dont you forget that you got what you have now with my help. Why didnt you say so when I was going all good? Im surprised that youre that kind of man.


    Zeng Zhuns eyes showed disappointment, because Yi Jingxi continually doubted him.


    Mr. Yi, do you still not understand? To win this case, you need both strong manpower and financial power. Its the first time An Lan has engaged in awsuit like this, but youve seen how capable she is. She must have lots of evidence. Ive checked. Nian Junting has found some of your mothers ssmates and convinced them to testify. A lot of things are going against you. Lawyer Cao might have a chance to win this, but for Lawyer Jin, the chance is way too small. Unless you sell the Xu familys house for cash Except for that house, you have already mortgaged your other real properties and cars for thepany


    I will sell that house over my dead body. Yi Jinxis eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked, Thats all I have. Except for his memories in that house, he had nothing.


    Jingxi, just give up. Zeng Zhun tried to persuade him with a bitter smile. Youve already made too many mistakes. If you didnt send Xu Zhengxuan to prison and force Xu Luosang to stay around, things may not be as bad as they are today.


    Theres no way back for me. Yi Jingxi shambled a few steps backward and leaned against the table behind him. A whileter, he murmured, Im going to sell my shares of Yi Group and use the money on thewsuit. Contact buyers now. He abruptly raised his head and continued, Im going to hire Lawyer Cao.


    Zeng Zhun frowned, feeling extra helpless.


    The news that Yi Jingxi intended to sell the shares of Yi Group spread quickly. The next day, Nian Junting and Luosang, who stayed in An City, heard about it.


    It seems that Yi Jingxi has no intention of confessing. Xu Luosang was a little disappointed. She thought that Yi Jingxi would at least have some conscience left. If he confessed, she might not put him in a desperate situation. After all, he had a mother to take care of.

 Chapter 767. There Was a Strange Sense of Familiarity About This Woman

    Chapter 767. There Was a Strange Sense of Familiarity About This Woman


    If he hires Lawyer Cao again, it might not be easy. After all, he is one of the best. He takes on cases that are virtually unwinnable in otherwyers eyes.


    An Lan looked worried. But you can do anything with money and Lawyer Cao is someone who loves money.


    Nian Junting pondered shortly before telling Lu Kang, Try to find a way to buy the Yi Group equities. Itll be troublesome if it falls into the hands of others.


    No matter what, thispany was founded by Xu Zhengxuan. If they could repurchase the equities, Xu Zhengxuan and Luosang would be relieved.


    Luosang could guess what his thoughts were. She was touched, but also a little worried. Yi Jingxi might not sell them to you, Junting. I think you shouldnt purchase the equities. Actually


    Originally, I did not want to purchase them. I wanted to get them back through the legal process in court, but now, Yi Jingxi is taking action so quickly. Furthermore, although the Xu Group funds cant be transferred, its still sizeable and will draw a considerable amount of interest from people. Junting interrupted her and grabbed her hands, looking at her gently.


    Mr. Nian, you might not be able to buy them anymore.


    Lu Kang suddenly smiled bitterly. Ive just received news that a foreign buyer just made a sizeable offer to purchase Yi Jingxis shares. Theyve already arranged to sign the papers today.


    Foreign buyer? Nian Junting was confused. Frowning, he asked, Who?


    Im not sure either. Its quite a mystery, Lu Kang answered, It must be a foreign party interested in gaining a foothold in our Chinese film industry. I was thinking, if we were to make a better offer, we might actually increase the prices of Yi Jingxis equities instead.


    In that case, well reconsider it. Nian Junting nodded. No matter what, he could not let Yi Jingxi gain another fortune.


    3 pm, at the Yi Group conference room.


    Yi Jingxi sat at the head of the table. Suddenly, a group of people walked in. The first to enter was a woman who appeared to be in her forties. She was dressed in a sky-blue colored shirt with a white pencil skirt. Although she was middle-aged, she had managed to maintain her figure. She gave off the aura of a career-oriented woman.


    As she neared, it was evident that she had multi-ethnic features. She had a tall nose with deep dimples. The sight of her made most men swoon at the thought of how elegant and beautiful she must have been when she was younger.


    Yi Jingxi was momentarily dazed, too. The buyer had imed to be a foreignpany trying to gain a foothold in the local Chinese industry. Because the buyer had made a decent offer and considering that he was in urgent need of funds, he had not carefully investigated the identity of the buyer. He never imagined the buyer to be a woman. Moreover, there was a strange sense of familiarity about this woman.


    Hello. Yi Jingxi stood up and shook her hand.


    Mr. Yi, hello. The middle-aged woman shook his hand briefly and both of them sat down.


    Yi Jingxi was dazed. He smiled and asked, How should I address you?


    The woman smiled but did not reply. Instead, she reached for the documents that her young assistant brought. Weve agreed on a price and prepared our funds. Mr. Yi, sign your name here. Once its done, thispany will no longer be yours. As for your other queries, I think that there is no point in further conversation.


    Yi Jingxi felt slightly uneasy. He could sense that he was being belittled.


    However, he could only sell the equities. Although he had shares in the Film and Television Vi,paratively there would still be long-term benefits.


    All right. Yi Jingxi looked down and signed his name, as did the woman.

 Chapter 768. Mo Jin

    Chapter 768. Mo Jin


    The contract was signed. Each of them had a copy. Yi Jingxi casually nced at thedys nameBrenner Hayley.


    Mr. Yi, please make a trip to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau with me for the change registration. I heard that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is not far from here. Well meet at 4:30 at the entrance. The middle-aged woman elegantly stood up, then quickly left with her people.


    Looking at the contract, Yi Jingxi searched through his memory for that womans name.


    Seeing him staying motionless, Zeng Zhun asked, Mr. Yi, whats wrong?


    I feel strange about this, Yi Jingxi closed the files, thought for a moment and then said, Dont you feel that this Brenner Hayley purchased my shares a bit too quickly? She didnt even try to lower the price. You see, the otherpanies


    Mr. Yi, you only need the money to be wired into your ount as agreed, Zeng Zhun reminded him. No matter why she bought the shares from you, thats her own business. Besides, our country has a great poption. Every year, we top the box office rank. Itspletely reasonable for foreign businesspeople to target this cake.


    Yi Jingxi pondered for a short time, then adjusted his tie and stood up.


    On hourter, Yi Jingxi and Brenner Hayley did the change registration inside the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Everything was settled.


    As they walked to the bureau entrance, Yi Jingxi paused and said, Ms. Hayley, now that weve gone through all the procedures. About thepany


    Mr. Yi, you have been leading thepany for thest couple of years. I believe that of everyone, you know thepanys current situation best. Id like to invite you to dinner, so we can talk about the current state of thepany and the film and television industry in detail. Brenner Hayley invited him with a smile.


    Yi Jingxi paused briefly, then nodded.


    He guessed that Brenner Hayley must have a powerful background, as she paid billions of yuan without difficulty. Bing friends with someone like that would do no bad for him.


    At that point, Brenner Hayleys chauffeur drove her Mercedes-Benz up. She raised an arm, invited Yi Jingxi into the car, Mr. Yi, lets talk in the car. Ill tell one of my people to drive your car, so that well have enough room.


    Drive my car, follow us, Yi Jingxi said to Zeng Zhun, and then stepped into the Benz.


    He sat in the back seat, then found that the person who followed him into the back seat was Brenner Hayleys young assistant. Brenner Hayley herself took the front seat.


    Yi Jingxi was surprised. Brenner Hayley turned back and exined, Im sorry. I get carsick, so I usually take the front.


    Yi Jingxi understood. Indeed, many people who had car sickness found their symptoms lightened slightly when they sat in the front. Then I guess it was a hard trip for you to travel from abroad, he said.


    Ive taken the pills, of course, yet still, I threw up a few times.


    Yi Jingxi nodded, then said, Which restaurant do you prefer? I guess youre not familiar with An City. Why dont I


    I grew up here, Brenner Hayley interrupted him, and continued, But this ce has changed a lot.


    Yi Jingxi was stunned a little. May I ask how long since you left the city?


    About twenty years.


    Thats a very long time, Yi Jingxi sighed, This city is developing well now. There are many good restaurants. Why dont I rmend one


    No need. Ive already booked a table.


    Yi Jingxi knitted his brows, as he was interrupted yet again. He could understand though. He was not as rich and powerful as he had been before, and now involved in awsuit. Besides, many people who lived abroad had a superiorityplex.


    During the rest of the drive, he didnt say anything else. Brenner Hayley had been looking at her phone the whole time. Her assistant who was sitting next to Yi Jingxi was looking out of the window, motionless.

 Chapter 769. My Daughter and I Missed Each Other for So Many Years

    Chapter 769. My Daughter and I Missed Each Other for So Many Years


    Yi Jingxi grew increasingly uneasy, especially when the car reached the outskirts of An City.


    He tried to recall restaurants in the area, but there didnt seem to be anything good around here.


    May I ask where we are going for a meal? Yi Jingxi broke the silence in the car once again.


    What? Are you afraid that we will sell you? Brenner Hayley who was sitting in the front had finally said something but didnt turn around and continued to y with her phone. Or is it because Mr. Yi has done too many immoral things and is scared of retribution?


    The expression on Yi Jingxis handsome face changed slightly. He finally realized that his intuition was right. If you have an objection against my person, you can stop the car. I will still work with you on the handover of Yi Group.


    Only a few words and Mr. Yi is unhappy, the woman said as she gave a lowugh. Thats to be expected. Since snatching someone elsespany, youve grown used to getting everything you want. How can you tolerate an insult like this?


    Stop the car. Yi Jingxi ordered coldly.


    Not only did the chauffeur show no intention to stop, but he drove into a small road on the side.


    Yi Jingxi understood at this moment the other party had more in mind than a simple meal. He instinctively reached to open the door but the assistant who had been silent beside him suddenly grabbed his arm deftly.


    Let go! Yi Jingxi sent a punch in his direction.


    The assistant dodged it quickly and used his leg to kick Yi Jingxis stomach before quickly holding Yi Jingxi down on the chair.


    What do you want? Yi Jingxi roared in anger. From the exchange just now, he clearly understood this person beside him knew martial arts and was very good at it.


    This was a trap, which was why Brenner Hayley did not sit in the back. As for Zeng Zhun who was following behind and made no movements, he must be under the control of the people in his car. Who in the world are you people? I dont think I have offended you all.


    Looks like youve done too many immoral things. You dont even know whom you offended. Brenner Hayley took out adys cigarette from a golden cigarette box, lit it, and inhaled lightly before leisurely exhaling.


    Yi Jingxi stared at her side profile with wide eyes. From this angle, the womans features looked exotic and beautiful, and also slightly familiar, but he couldnt put his finger on it.


    You are Chu Leis son, arent you? A woman like your mother doesnt give birth to any decent person, Brenner Hayley said lightly.


    Shut up. You better watch what youre saying, Yi Jingxi warned fiercely. He struggled to get up, but his whole person was pushed down so firmly that he couldnt budge.


    Watch what Im saying, the woman snorted lightly. Suddenly, she said, Stop the car.


    The car stopped immediately. He didnt know where they were. It was a deserted piece ofnd surrounded by overgrown grass.


    The assistant dragged Yi Jingxi down from the car.


    Yi Jingxi got up and wanted to run, but the chauffeur and assistant pressed him down again. His face was pressed against the ground and all he could inhale was dust.


    He had never been more pathetic in his whole life. He was so angry that his veins were popping. Ill not let you off. This is An City and you outsiders wont get to do as you please.


    Who is the one doing as he pleases? Brenner Hayley walked to stand in front of him and looked down on him, her tone cold, Raise your head and look at me.


    Yi Jingxi struggled to raise his head and meet the womans sharp look.


    Brenner Hayley stared at him and smiled. You spent so much effort to intercept what Id sent to my daughter and forged letters to reply to me, causing my daughter and me to miss each other for many years. Now that Im standing in front of you, you really dont recognize me at all?


    Yi Jingxi jerked. The look in his eyes gradually turned into shock and disbelief. You are Mo Jin.


    His head buzzed. He remembered when gifts from Luosangs mother were received, he asked people to investigate. He only knew the other person was from Luxemburgs Morrison n, then he investigated Luosangs mothers name. It was Mo Jin. No thats wrong. Mo Jins name overseas is not Brenner Hayley.


    You should have investigated more thoroughly. Brenner Hayley is the name I use in North Europe. Mo Jins eyes gradually turned cold as ice. My daughter is indeed the same as me. We both have terrible taste when we were young. Look at you. Other than a passable face, you have no other merits.


    Yi Jingxi instinctively dug his fingers into the dirt on the ground.


    He lowered his head slowly. He knew that he did many things that hurt Luosang, but he still loved her.


    Maybe he was scared if she found her family, and her family looked down on him like this, he would not be able to have her anymore. That was why he made mistakes, one after another.


    You dare to do it, but you dont dare to raise your head and look at me?


    Mo Jin was full of sarcasm. Whatever feud you have with Xu Zhunxuan, I dont care. But you used such a despicable method to snatch away Luosangspany. She was still a youngdy, but you drove her to a wall and she couldnt even stay in An City anymore. She was just a girl. Imagine what kind of life she led after that. You have parents too. You knew that she didnt have a mum since she was a child, yet you created misunderstandings between mother and daughter. Ive met countless people in my lifetime, yet youre the worst scum Ive seen.


    Yi Jingxis eyes welled up suddenly, perhaps because of the dust, or some other reason.


    He didnt want to drive her so far, but he didnt expect Zhong Yi to do so many hurtful things to Luosang behind his back. But no matter what, it was his own foolishness that gave Zhong Yi the opening. He had nothing to defend himself with.


    Youre not going to try to exin yourself? Mo Jin asked coldly.


    Everything you said is right. Im scum. Yi Jingxi admitted, his tone self-deprecating. But all of this was because of Xu Zhengxuan.


    Dont look for excuses for your own selfishness. Xu Zhengxuan might not have been very good, but he is at least better than you. You dont have a baseline at all. Mo Jin got angrier and angrier because of his excuse. She came forward and stepped down on the back of his hand with her heel. The flesh sunk in and it was so painful that his body shook, but he didnt utter a word.


    No matter how painful it was, it hurt less than his heart.


    What did Luosang ever do wrong? You cheated her feelings, snatched away herpany, and even caused her to quit school. Did the Xu family kill your whole family, or did Xu Zhengxuan rape your mother?


    Shut up. Yi Jingxis eyes shot up suddenly like a lion who had his tail stepped on.


    Mo Jin was momentarily taken aback, then she smiled. I guess thats right, Chu Lei is shameless. She probably didnt need Xu Zhengxuan to rape her, she would be quite happy to oblige.


    I forbid you from insulting my mother, Yi Jingxi roared in rage, his whole body trembled with anger. He struggled to get up, but he couldnt move while being held down.


    How did I insult her? Mo Jinughed coldly. Thats not right, youre even older than Luosang. Are you Chu Leis biological son?


    Of course I am, Yi Jingxis said angrily.

 Chapter 770. Ill Give All the Pain that Luosang Has Suffered Back to You

    Chapter 770. I''ll Give All the Pain that Luosang Has Suffered Back to You


    Its okay that you dont want to tell me. But I can tell that youre a few years older than Luosang, meaning that Chu Lei already had a child when she was with Xu Zhengxuan. Am I right?


    Mo Jin gave a bigger, sarcastic smile, crossed her arms and continued. Xu Zhengxuan is so stupid. He liked Chu Lei so much. He treated her like a treasure. Yet, she was already a mother when he was with her. As I thought, Chu Lei is a slut.


    Watch your mouth! Yi Jingxi was beyond tolerance. You can abuse me, but not her. Shes suffered enough because of Xu Zhengxuan.


    I was wondering why Xu Zhengxuan didnt marry your mother after we divorced. Doesnt he like screwing around with his students?


    Mo Jin squatted, bent over to look at Yi Jingxi and continued, Did he abandon her because he found out about her illegitimate child? Is that why you hurt my daughter? Did you do that in revenge for your mother?


    I dont know what youre talking about.


    For a few seconds, Yi Jingxis dark eyes showed confusion. My mother doesnt like Xu Zhengxuan at all.


    Did she tell you that? Mo Jin snorted, That is the most hrious joke Ive heard in this century. Back then, Chu Lei pursued Xu Zhengxuan shamelessly, using all sorts of means. She sewed his clothes, stayed up to do research projects with him, took care of him attentively. Theyve spent many sleepless nights together. Xu Zhengxuan even took her on business trips. Chu Lei sent me intimate photos of her and Xu Zhengxuan. They often showed up together. At that time, everyone knew that they were having an affair. Do you know why I divorced Xu Zhengxuan? I was so disgusted by those two.


    Thats impossible Yi Jingxi shook his head and murmured.


    He couldnt stop shaking his head and mumbling to himself, as if his brain couldnt deal with this sudden and strong stimtion.


    Mo Jin spent a second staring at him, then slowly stood up and said, Yi Jingxi, I was going to take everything you have away from you. But you were in haste to sell thepany. I didnt want my daughterspany to fall into someone elses hands, so I had no other choice but to buy it from you. However, I will not let you get away with this. Ill y the game with you, slowly. Ill give all the pain that Luosang has suffered back to you.


    After saying that, she took a few steps backward, gave an eye signal to the two people by her side.


    Do it, she said.


    The chauffeur and the assistant kicked Yi Jingxi violently from both sides. Yi Jingxi didnt even try to fight back, but curled up, buried his head in his arms, and let the heavy kicksnd on his body like raindrops.


    A whileter, the two men got bored. They lifted Yi Jingxi up and punched him as if they were punching a sandbag.


    Soon, Yi Jingxis eyes ckened and his nose bled. His mouth was filled with blood.


    Atst, he fell to the ground without being able to struggle back up.


    Seeing him in this awful shape, Mo Jin showed disgust on her delicate face, Do you feel pain? Luosang suffered worse than this. This is only the beginning. I havente back for twenty years, so this time, Ill make both you and Chu Lei pay for what youve done. I heard that shes living in a nursing home now. How ridiculous. How can such a bitch live peacefully in a nursing home? Can she even manage to stay there? Why doesnt she live in a temple?


    Finished talking, she opened the car door, turned and prepared to get into the car. Yi Jingxi struggled to raise his upper body and stuttered, I did everything that hurt Luosang aloneIt has nothing to do with her If you want revenge, take it out on me

 Chapter 771. When Do You Intend to Claim My Sister

    Chapter 771. When Do You Intend to im My Sister


    Thats right. You hurt Luosang badly and your mother destroyed my family, although I dont me her. Men who can be stolen away are not good ones. I just feel that she takes me too lightly. If it wasnt that I needed to look after my kid and was also pregnant, I wouldnt have let her do as she pleased. Although I had neither power nor authority, no one dared to bully me either. She was the first. Ive not remembered this for twenty years, till now. Mo Jin closed the car door once she was done speaking.


    The chauffeur and assistant got into the car after her.


    The tires skidded against the ground and the car left quickly, leaving a cloud of dust behind.


    Yi Jingxiid on the floor with some liquid dripping down from inside his nose. He was in pain. His whole body was in pain. Even his internal organs were hurting.


    In his whole life, this was the first time he had been injured so bad. But the physical pain was still less than the pain in his heart.


    If this pain could make up for the hurt he had caused Luosang, he was willing to be injured even more.


    Mo Jin was Luosangs mother, so he would never retaliate against her. He only hated Xu Zhengxuan. But from Mo Jins speech, did his mother destroy their family once? Was his mother really someone like that? He didnt know what to think.


    Mo Jin and Xu Zhengxuan were divorced a long time ago; she wouldnt say this for no reason. Had he been fooled by Chu Wei all this time? No, that couldnt be. He couldnt ept that his own mother had lied to him.


    At this moment, a car suddenly pulled over. Zeng Zhun opened the car door and hurriedly came down to help him. How are you? I suspected something was wrong earlier, but I was held captive by the people in my car. It was only till they left just now that I could drive over. Are your injuries heavy? Ill call the police and the ambnce for you now.


    Dont dont call the police. Yi Jingxi hurriedly grabbed his hand.


    This gang of people arewless, tricking you here in the middle of the day to beat you up. Who is that woman? Zeng Zhun was also bemused; that person didnt seem to be sent by Nian Junting.


    She is Luosangs mother. Yi Jingxi smiled bitterly.


    Zeng Zhun was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. Cant cant be right, so wrong.


    Yi Jingxi nodded and said weakly, I only know that she belongs to the Morrison n, so I dont know much. Her having people to beat me up is what I deserve. She is right. This pain is nothingpared to what Luosang suffered.


    Zeng Zhun went silent for a moment. He wasnt sure what to say either. In the end, he could only help Yi Jingxi up. Ill send you to the hospital now.


    On the way to the city, Mo Jin received Mo Liuxis call.


    How badly did you beat up that bastard Yi Jingxi?


    He wont be able to get up for half a month, Mo Jin said nonchntly.


    Thats no fun, Mo Liuxi snorted coldly. If it were up to me, I would turn people like him into beggars. You are more useless the older you are.


    Mo Jins face turned ck. Who do you think you are talking to? Do you think this is what I want? If I had more time, I definitely would have made sure that Yi Jingxi was chased out like a dog. Only, he is selling away hispany shares hurriedly, so I cant do anything else to him. However, I n to deal with Chu Lei too.


    Arent you avenging yourself because she stole your man in the past? Mo Liuxi couldnt resist making a dig at her.


    Mo Jinughed. You better watch your mouth. Even mentioning that old fool Xu Zhengxuan makes me want to vomit.


    Then when do you intend to im my sister? Mo Liuxi asked suddenly.

 Chapter 772. She Wants to Find Her and Give Her All the Best in the World

    Chapter 772. She Wants to Find Her and Give Her All the Best in the World


    Mo Jin immediately fell silent, her face showing deep guilt. She did want to see Luosang. She hadnt seen her daughter in twenty years. However, she felt nervous and ashamed. She was afraid that her daughter might disown her, because she had failed in her duty as a mother.


    She also didnt know how many bad words about her that Xu Zhengxuan had said to her daughter during the past twenty years.


    Alright, wait for me toe back. My exams are ending soon. Ill fly back right afterward. Mo Liuxi ended the call.


    Mo Jin stayed in a daze for a while, then found Luosangs picture that she saved on her phone.


    She had found the photo online. In the photo, she lowered her head, standing on stage helplessly.


    Someone took the photo of her at thest Christmas when she was being bullied.


    Mo Jin regretted not paying attention to the domestic news. Her daughter had suffered so much bitterness, and she hadnt even known.


    Looking at that photo, she couldnt help but feel terrible. There were dark circles under her eyes.


    She had to find her and give her all the best in the world.


    Beichuan Hotel.


    That was the most expensive hotel in the city. The garden suite cost forty thousand yuan per night. Nian Junting believed that Luosang had to live in the best hotel and eat the best food, because she was pregnant. So, he booked a suite.


    Downstairs, Luosang was looking at her phone in the garden.


    The first trial of Xu Zhengxuans case had caused a sensation and lots of discussion.


    Currently, the media had taken Xu Zhengxuans side. People made posts to use, even abuse Yi Jingxi. Some media outlets even dug out all the properties that Yi Jingxi had owned in the past two years.


    Reading those articles, Luosang was really shocked.


    While she was reading an article with great interest, a stripe of shadow shrouded her.


    In the next second, her phone was whisked away.


    Nian Junting was standing in front of her. He stayed in An City these days. He dressed casually, a pair of grey cropped trousers with a green T-shirt. He looked so refreshing and handsome, that Luosang was even dazed slightly.


    I know that Im good-looking, but please dont stare at me, Nian Junting sat down in the cane chair near her, smiled, and crossed his legs. His exposed calves looked slim and delicate.


    No, I just felt that you look young, Luosang blinked and responded with an innocent tone.


    The smile froze on Nian Juntings face, as he didnt know how to reply.


    What did she mean by he looked young? Had he looked old before?


    Give me my phone, Luosang reached out a hand toward him.


    Dont always spend time on your phone. It emits radiation, Nian Juntingzily leaned against the back of the tall chair. My precious daughter will feel ufortable in your belly.


    Luosang rubbed her ears, feeling that Nian Junting was getting more and more preachytely. Im wearing the anti-radiation suit. You bought this from abroad. It cost over a hundred thousand. Its said that it can even protect against nuclear radiation.


    Still, you cant overly rely on it, Nian Junting lowered his head, trying to find out what she had been reading. However, the screen of her phone had gone ck.


    He tabbed the screen, found that it required a password to unlock her phone.


    He typed in his own birthday, but that turned out to be wrong. After that, he raised his head and said unhappily, Isnt your password my birthday?


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    That was perfectly reasonable. If he didnt mention his birthday to her before, she wouldnt even know his birth date.


    Even if she did know, she wouldnt use his birthday as her password, because she felt that was unnecessary.


    So, as he asked that question and made it sound so reasonable, Luosang felt speechless.


    Like your password is my birthday, she said, incredulous.

 Chapter 773. Change Your Passcode to My Birthday

    Chapter 773. Change Your Passcode to My Birthday


    Although it isnt your birthday, its the day we first met. Nian Junting was so happy with himself that he was grinning.


    Luosang paused. You still remember it?


    Of course. Nian Junting raised his chin proudly. The day that you finished nursing was the day that you signed a contract with Steward Wu. I asked Steward Wu to find that contract for me, so I know the day we met.


    Luosang was touched at first.


    She thought he could remember such little details, but in the end, he had needed to look for some contract.


    You cant me me. Nian Junting saw through her thoughts and added, Who asked you to be ugly and dowdy back then? You practically made people not want to take a second look after the first. Too much of a shock to the eyes.


    All right, give me the phone. Luosang didnt want to talk about those times.


    Come over and change your passcode to my birthday. Nian Junting hooked his finger.


    Luosang was finding him increasingly annoying recently. Cant you see that Im a pregnantdy? Yet, you still ask me toe over.


    I wanted to offer my leg for you to sit. Nian Junting ced one of his legs down.


    Recently Luosang noticed he frequently liked to pull her onto his thigh to sit; she wasnt very willing. The main reason was that sometimes when the two of them got too close, she could feel some activity from down below.


    I dont want to sit.


    Then do you want me to carry you? Nian Juntings eyes narrowed.


    Luosang pouted and walked over to sit on his thigh.


    Nian Junting circled his arms around her from below her arms. Change it.


    Luosang unlocked her phone using her fingerprint. Nian Junting saw at once what content she was looking at.


    Only after Luosang had changed her passcode to his birthday did he say, Youre looking at news about Yi Jingxi again?


    Yes. Luosang nodded. I realized the reporters are really good. They even dug up many things that I didnt know about.


    What do you know about him? Nian Junting couldnt help being sarcastic after hearing that. Im guessing that you probably only know that he is called Yi Jingxi and that he is a man, or else you wouldnt be cheated so badly.


    His words hit right on the mark so Luosang pinched his thighs.


    Nian Junting could only obediently behave. For example


    For example, his family used to be rather well-off, Luosang said. His father was in the medical equipment sector. However, his father passed away in an ident. The ce where he passed was An City. He was killed by a fire that started in a hotel.


    Nian Junting frowned. He hadnt much to say about this sort of thing.


    After all, this way was too painful to lose a loved one.


    No wonder Yi Jingxis personality is so twisted. Luosang sighed. But isnt it such a coincidence his family all came from An City, and his father died in An City? Could it have something to do with my family? The reason why he hates my father so much? I still believe my father, and I believe there must be a misunderstanding somewhere.


    Nian Junting tightened his hug. Stop overthinking. Everything wille to light one day. An Feng and her team have locked themselves in their rooms to study the court case, even against Lawyer Cao. They wont lose.


    Mm. Luosangid on the curve of his arm quietly.


    Excuse me for bothering the two of you again. Outside the wooden door, the sound of An Fengs softughter came suddenly.


    Nian Junting stood up to open the wooden door. I only just praised you. Why did youe over? Its already been four days in a blink of an eye and the court is opening again soon.


    I heard the news the court session has been temporarily suspended.


    Its because Yi Jingxi is injured and hospitalized, said An Feng.

 Chapter 774. Mr. Nian is Pretty Nice to Miss Xu

    Chapter 774. Mr. Nian is Pretty Nice to Miss Xu


    An Lan said, Its said that Yi Jingxi is injured, and is in the hospital.


    Luosang replied with surprise, Is he trying to buy time? The more time he has, the greater his chance of winning. Hiswyer might use this time to find a breakthrough.


    An Lan shook her head and said, I dont think so. Ive asked around. He seems to really have been injured pretty badly. His face is swollen, and his nose is broken. Some of his internal organs are injured as well. Strangely, he didnt call the police.


    Thats even weirder, Luosang sneered, I guess he injured himself. Otherwise, why didnt he call the police? Perhaps he did something bad and offended someone. But, I dont think hes that kind of person who will bear an insult like this.


    An Lan shrugged and said, Anyway, the courthouse has sent people to check on him as well. He cant appear in court like that indeed. Im afraid the trial is going to be postponed to the middle of this month.


    Luosang was visibly upset. The longer we wait, the worse the situation will be for us, right?


    Dont worry, there will be a solution, Nian Junting put an arm around her shoulders andforted her. If hes trying to buy time, it means hes not confident. He can use this time to search for a new breakthrough, and we can also try to collect more evidence.


    Em, Luosang nodded affirmatively.


    Since the trial will not begin for a bit, we should return to Xia City. Welle back before the trial starts, An Lan suggested.


    Nian Junting agreed with her. No matter how expensive the hotel suite could be and how expensive the food they provided was, it was not as clean as things at home.


    So that afternoon, they packed their bags and headed to the airport.


    The car parked at the entrance. Luosang got out of the car. Before entering the airport, she abruptly nced back.


    Whats wrong? Nian Junting asked, taking the luggage from the car.


    Nothing. I felt like someone was watching me. Luosang noticed a ck Benz which was parked a couple of yards away.


    Ah, youre right. I was watching you just now, Nian Junting grinned at her.


    Luosang snorted, and perched on hisrge suitcase.


    Nian Junting wheeled her into the airport.


    An Lan clicked her tongue, and said, After seeing how nice Mr. Nian is to Luosang, my requirements for my future boyfriend are going through the roof.


    Lu Kang smiled and shook his head. You havent seen how awful he can be, he thought. Even you would want to hit him.


    Inside the Benz, Mo Jin quietly watched Luosang disappear from sight. Her chest heaved slightly. She wanted so badly to rush out of the car to introduce herself to her daughter. But if it happened so suddenly, Luosang might get scared.


    Ms. Mo, Mr. Nian seems to be really nice to Miss Xu, Ivan the assistant smiled and added, Also, he looks very handsome and manly. Miss Xu has great taste.


    What do you know? Mo Jin gave him a sharp nce, and said, Its difficult to see the true face of a man. Before I married Xu Zhengxuan, he was so nice to me that he nearly gave me his heart. In the end, he fell in love with another woman not long after we got married. My daughter is just like me. She has a poor taste in men, so she may get fooled by men easily. Yi Jingxi is the perfect example. I was unlucky. Back when I was with Xu Zhengxuan, I was an orphan. The Xu family people hurt me, and I could do nothing. I cant let what happened to me happen to my daughter.


    But for now, we havent found any bad thing about Mr. Nian, said the assistant. You see, he didnt judge Miss. Xu because her father is in prison. On the contrary, he even helped Miss. Xu with thewsuit, to try to save her father.


    Thats what I dont like about him, Mo Jin snorted coldly, Xu Zhengxuan is a bastard. He hurts women. He should spend the rest of his life in prison. Why would they release him? To hurt more young girls?

 Chapter 775. Aunty Mo Said… You Once Destroyed Their Family When You Were Young

    Chapter 775. Aunty Mo Said�� You Once Destroyed Their Family When You Were Young


    But Mr. Xu could be wrongly used. The assistants voice got softer and softer.


    Wrongly used?


    Mo Jin said indifferently, Why would people use him out of nowhere? Its not as if they are crazy so there must have been a reason. My guess is, he got tired of ying around with Chu Lei and abandoned her. She was resentful and asked her son to take revenge on him. If Yi Jingxi isnt older than Luosang, I would suspect Yi Jingxi is his bastard.


    The assistant was dazed and thought that she made some sense.


    Drive to Xu Group so I can settle some old ounts and finish this early. I want to go to Xia City to meet that person, Nian Junting.


    An City Hospital.


    Yi Jingxi leaned on the bed silently like a statue. Beside him, Lawyer Cao talked for a while, but he remained silent. Lawyer Cao involuntary frowned. Mr. Yi, have you heard what I said? I said, since you are hospitalized, try to stay longer so that the court dys the court session.


    What are the odds of winning this case? Yi Jingxi asked as he finally regained his senses.


    The most troublesome thing is the recording, but rest assured, as long as you firmly deny it, Ille up with something.


    Just as Lawyer Cao finished, the door mmed open. Chu Lei panickily walked in. Jingxi, how are you? Youve been injured. Why didnt you tell me about such a big thing? My goodness, who beat you up like this?


    Leave us first. Yi Jingxi nced at Lawyer coolly.


    Chu Lei caressed his face. His originally handsome face was now bruised all over and his lips were pale. She was angry on his behalf and her heart ached for him; her tears fell involuntarily. Do you really want to worry me to death? Have you called the police? First that court case and now being hospitalized. Did Xu Luosang find someone to do this? I heard that she is with some rich man


    Mother, how did you know about me being injured? Yi Jingxi frowned, staring deeply at her wrinkled face.


    If possible, he didnt want to suspect her. His mother raised him alone and suffered too much.


    Chu Lei was taken aback. Someone sent me a message saying that you are hospitalized here, so I rushed over immediately.


    Yi Jingxis face changed slightly.


    What whats wrong? Chu Lei became unsettled looking at him.


    Mother, I met Luosangs mother, Mo Jin. Yi Jingxi saw that Chu Leis expression had entirely changed when he was finished.


    She wasnt she missing for a long time? Yi Jingxi blurted out.


    How did you know that she was missing for a long time? Yi Jingxi asked.


    Chu Lei blinked. No while Xu Zhengxuan was in jail, a reporter mentioned it. I didnt expect her to be back again. Thats thats good. Has she reunited with her daughter?


    Is that so? Yi Jingxi frowned, watching her closely. Mother, Aunty Mo said you once destroyed their family when you were young.


    What nonsense youre saying. Chu Lei became angry as if someone stepped on her tail. Im your mother! How can you believe Mo Jins words? Mo Jin is not a decent woman, frequently going in and out of nightclubs, not even caring for her own child.


    Mother, you seem to know her quite well, Yi Jingxi said astutely. You werent ssmates with her either, right?


    We werent ssmates, but back when I was doing research with Xu Zhengxuan, she was Xu Zhengxuans wife, so we naturally would meet often.

 Chapter 776. Xiao Si Almost Died from Anger

    Chapter 776. Xiao Si Almost Died from Anger


    Chu Lei lowered her head, held his hands and said, Stop talking about Mo Jin. Hearing about her and her family can really make me ufortable. Tell me about your injury. How many days do you have to stay in the hospital? Who did this to you? Have you called the police?


    I didnt call the police, Yi Jingxi turned his face away and spoke tly.


    Why not? Chu Lei said, choked with emotion, Look how badly youre injured.


    Yi Jingxi didnt want to say anything.


    He felt as if part of his heart was missing.


    Im calling the police now, Chu Lei said, as he stayed silent. Chu Lei turned and walked toward the door.


    Dont, Yi Jingxi reached out a hand to try to stop her, but as soon as he moved, his wounds hurt so much that he even felt as his internal organs were falling apart. He couldnt even remain sitting, but fell back on the bed.


    Youre injured so badly. You mustnt move, Chu Leis heart ached so much that she even shed tears. You know who did this to you, dont you? You just dont want to tell me about it.


    I did this to myself. Its exactly what I deserve, Yi Jingxi smiled bitterly. I beg you, dont call the police. Im still involved in awsuit now


    Hearing about thewsuit, Chu Leis face paled. Is there a chance that you might lose?


    I dont know, Yi Jingxi closed his eyes and said quietly, Last year I purchased some properties abroad under your name. If I lose thewsuit, you should sell those properties and use the money to live


    No! Chu Lei cried. Youre my only son. If you went to prison, my life would be meaningless. Years ago, I told you not to scheme against Xu Zhengxuan. Why didnt you listen to me? Now what


    Saying these things now wont change anything. A deeply pained look shed across Yi Jingxis fine features.


    If he had a second chance, he wouldnt do the same.


    But of course, there was no way back.


    Chu Lei let go of his hands, then bent over, covered her face and cried with a dry voice, This is wrong


    I cant let you go to prison. Thats yourwyer, right? Im going to talk to him, Chu Lei abruptly stood up and quickly walked out.


    Mom, Yi Jingxi cried, but he couldnt stop her.


    He struggled for a while, then finallyy back down. After spending a while gazing at the ceiling, he struggled to grab his phone from the nightstand, then dialed a number. Check on my mothers ssmates for me Theyre all Xu Zhengxuans students. Try to find out what the rtionship between him and my mother was like.


    Havent we already done that? The person on the other end of the line replied with confusion.


    I want more specific details. After ending the call, Yi Jingxi turned to the window, hoping that what Mo Jin said wasnt true.


    If all he knew was fake, he would


    He shook his head. He didnt dare to keep imagining.


    Lousang returned to Xia City. The summer vacation had already begun. Yan Su wasnt living in the apartment, so she moved to Tianhu Vi.


    Nian Junting left early in the morning for Shengting. He had stayed in An City for a couple of days, so lots of work had been waiting for him at thepany.


    In the morning, he attended a staff meaning. After he returned to his office, the senior managers visited him in the office, one after another. When Xiao Si got there it was already about noon.


    I havent had a meal with you for a long time. Shall we? He said.


    What? Did you miss me? Im sorry, ever since I got back together with Luosang, I nearly forgot about you when Im not at work.


    Xiao Si almost died with anger. Did he ever say that he missed him? He was only inviting him for lunch, and that was all.


    I need to talk to you about something, he said.

 Chapter 777. He Was Extremely Dissatisfied with the Morrison Clans People

    Chapter 777. He Was Extremely Dissatisfied with the Morrison n''s People


    Fine then. Only then did Nian Junting close his notebook and stand up.


    Its all right, you should stoping. Xiao Si rolled his eyes.


    Lets go. Nian Junting ignored his words and walked over therge strides.


    Xiao Si could only grudgingly follow him to the canteen.


    The two rarely went there. When the chefs saw theming, they immediately made a few good dishes to bring over.


    Yi Group has announced on its official website, Yi Jingxi is discharged from all duties in Yi Group, Xiao Si said while pouring tea.


    Nian Junting raised his brows but was unsurprised.


    Oh right. Soon, Yi Group will no longer be called Yi Group. Xiao Si put down the teapot. Didnt you ask me to oversee the film sector? Im now familiar with the ins and outs of the film industry. I heard the one who bought over Yi Group is the Morrison n of Luxemburg.


    Nian Junting bent down to drink his tea. Morrison?


    Yes, a steel manufacturing n that prefers to be low-profile, Xiao Si said. But at their peak, they allegedly had fifty ns and over two hundred thousand employees, but this year theyve been slowly shrinking, though it is still big.


    So, now those who make steel are also entering the film industry. Do they know how? Nian Junting mocked.


    Not everyone has my talent, Nian Junting said coolly.


    Xiao Si was out of energy to roast him. Please. The Morrison n is stronger than your Zhong Zhou.


    What an ignorant fool.


    Hopefully, this person would meet someone from the Morrison n and would be looked down to death.


    Anyways, now that the Morrison n has taken over Yi Group, theyve decided to rename it. I heard it is now called Luoxi Films.


    Luoxi?


    Nian Junting was dissatisfied. Originally, he intended to buy over Yi Group and establish Luoting Films. To think


    He was extremely dissatisfied with the Morrison ns people.


    Dont let them run into him.


    He finallymented, Sounds awful.


    I think its a nice name. Xiao Si saw his face change suddenly and hurried added, In any case, this filmpany is now no longer affiliated with Yi Group. I think we can tell those from the radio sector to stop harassing Yi Group. After all, we will all be in the same industry, so theres no need to make an enemy, and the Morrison n has a huge financial prowess


    Since their financial prowess is huge, then it wont matter if those movies and dramas from before cannot be screened. Anyways, they have lots of money, they can invest in new ones. Nian Junting casually picked up his chopsticks.


    You dont have to be so harsh.


    Its their fault for stealing thepany that I wanted to gift to Luo. Nian Junting answered unreasonably.


    Xiao Si saw how stubborn he was and stopped persuading him.


    In the vi, after Luosang returned to the city, the holidays started again. Having nothing else to do, she was contemting on Nian Juntings birthday gift.


    He was turning thirty, after all, so she should give him something special.


    But she didnt want to shop by herself and she didnt have many friends, so she called Yan Su. Big shot singer Yan, may I ask when you will return to Xia City and shop with me?


    Are you sure you want to shop with me? Yan Su smiled. Although Im not extremely popr, I do have some fame. If I am recognized, you will also be a focus.


    Its all right. Let me borrow some of your limelight, Luosang said jokingly. I feel as if we havent seen each other for a long time, I miss you.


    All right. Iming back tomorrow; we can go out the day after.


    Luosang smiled while putting down the phone. Turning around, her nose bumped straight into a hard chest.

 Chapter 778. Say It Again, That Im Yours

    Chapter 778. Say It Again, That I''m Yours


    She raised her head, and found Nian Junting looking down at her with a long face.


    Who did you miss?


    I was talking to Su on the phone, Luosang said and rubbed her nose in pain. Why did you sneak up behind me? Why didnt you call me before you came home?


    You two are really close, Nian Junting snorted coldly, You told her that you miss her, but youve never told me the same.


    You are mine. Why would I miss you? Luosang gave him a re, then turned and walked toward the couch.


    Xiaosi came to her, wagging his tail. Luosang opened a pack of dried fish to feed him.


    Nian Junting curved his lips into a smile, feeling so sweet, as if he had eaten some honey.


    He sat down next to her, and put his arms around her. Say it again, that Im yours.


    Em, youre mine, you are mine, Luosang kissed him on the cheek, then continued feeding Xiaosi.


    Youre pregnant. Dont be so close to the dog, Nian Junting led Xiaosi out of the living room, then closed the screen door to keep him outside.


    Xiaosi howled and scratched the screen door with his ws.


    Seeing that, Luosangs heart was softened.


    The backyard isrge enough for him to y, Nian Junting pulled Luosang onto hisp, held her face and kissed her.


    Under his passionate kiss, Luosangs toes curled. She kept ncing around, saying, Alright, alright, Steward Wu and Sister Lan are both at home. It would be embarrassing if they came in and saw us.


    Okay, were going to stop kissing, Nian Junting stopped kissing her, then held her in his arms. But his hands were all over her.


    Luosangs face reddened, Im pregnant. Its normal for my breasts to grow bigger.


    Yeah? Nian Junting was delighted. I like them bigger. They feel better than before.


    Its not good. I read in a book if the breasts became too big during pregnancy, they might sag after giving birth to the child. If that happened to me, would you stop loving me? asked Luosang with concern.


    She was still young. She didnt want something like that to happen to her.


    Nian Junting was delighted though, as he felt that his woman really cared about his feelings.


    What can I do, she loves me too much. Shes so afraid that I might stop loving her, he said to himself, What should I do?


    No, I love you, not your breasts, Nian Junting lowered his head and rubbed her face with his nose.


    Being rubbed by his nose, Luosangs whole body tingled. Its only about four. Why are you home so early?


    Working is boring.


    Whats not boring then? Luosang felt a little speechless.


    Nian Junting suddenly gazed at her in the eyes and said, Having sex with you.


    You dirty man, Luosang pinched his thigh shyly.


    She did that pretty hard, yet he responded with, Luo, this is sofortable.


    Luosang really admired how thick-skinned and shameless he was.


    The next day, around five in the evening, Yan Su tiredly dragged her suitcase out of a nanny van.


    Miss Yan, let me carry your luggage upstairs for you, Jiaojiao, the new assistant that herpany had arranged for her, said attentively.


    Its okay. Its not heavy. Ill get it myself. Youve been working hard for a few days. Just go home and rest. Yan Su waved at her, and then walked into the building. She took the elevator to her floor. As she came out of the elevator, she heard the noise of electric drills. She paused briefly, then turned to the left. A door was open, and a few decoration workers had been walking around in the t.

 Chapter 779. Where Did This Bewitching Man Come From

    Chapter 779. Where Did This Bewitching Man Come From


    Although Yan Su rarely spoke to her neighbors, she bumped into them several times whileing in and out of the building. The household seemed to have bought the t, and the three of them stayed there for many years. Now they were suddenly renovating. Could it be they sold the house and moved out?


    She held doubts while opening the door to her apartment. She hadnt been back in days and Luosang wasnt around either. The house was a bit empty.


    Since Yan Su sat on the ne and in the car for many hours, she was tired. She couldnt be bothered to even unpack her luggage before sprawling on the bed to sleep.


    She slept deeply for an unknown time, but she was woken up by a call from Luosang. Are you back?


    Yes.


    So, you were sleeping? Luosang could immediately tell from her voice. Shouldnt you be having dinner at this time?


    Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry, Yan Su said.


    She just didnt feel like cooking, living by herself.


    There is still some food in the refrigerator. You can make a few simple dishes, Luosang said. If it isnt for Junting watching over me, I would have been able toe over to apany you tonight.


    Dont. Its better that you apany Mr. Nian, else he might kill me, Yan Su said jokingly.


    All right, take good care of yourself. Luosang was mainly worried that her thoughts would be running wild when she was alone and bored.


    She wasnt sure about other people, but since Yan Su broke up, she turned into a workaholic. Especially since Yan Su didnt have her family near.


    All right. Yan Suid down again after hanging up the phone, but she couldnt help remembering Shi Xiangs face and her heart ached.


    She forced herself to stop thinking and sleep for a while longer. Next door, thumping sounds could be heard once more. She got up and looked at the time. It was already past 6:00 pm. Were they crazy? Renovating at such ate hour.


    Yan Su got up gloomily and made two simple dishes. The sound from next door got even louder.


    When she couldnt take the noise anymore, she opened the door to her neighbors ce. When she entered, she was approached by a tall figure d in pale blue ripped jeans, yellow and white striped shirt and white shoes.


    She looked at his face. The lines of his features were sharp and well-defined. Beneath long nted brows were a pair of eyes sharp like the stars in winter. His nose was tall, well-shaped and his thin, pale lips were very pretty.


    The light that shone from above his head enclosed his person. He was dazzling to the eyes.


    Where did this bewitching mane from?


    Yan Su always thought that Shi Xiang was very handsome, but the face of the boy in front of her was so perfect that she couldnt pick out a single w. In addition, he had a big stature and faultless charisma. The watch with a brown leather strap on his wrist also indicated a prominent family background.


    Yan Su felt this person looked familiar. There seemed to be some simrities with Luosang.


    While Yan Su stared at him in a daze, Mo Liuxi broke the silence first. Only, his intonation had a slight roll of the tongue, indicating an unfamiliarity to Mandarin.


    Is there an issue?


    Yan Su shifted her gaze and was shocked to see a hole in the wall beside him. How could you do this to someone elses house


    I bought the whole ce. Mo Liuxi assessed her. She had raven ck hair and a small pretty face. While digging up information on his sister, he remembered his sister was staying with a girl.


    Do you stay at 901?


    Yan Su nodded. I remember both of these units had residents. Did they move out at the same time?


    Mo Liuxi said nonchntly, Mm, this is the best residential area near Ximei University. I thought this house had a good position but the rooms are too small, so I spent some money to buy the adjacent t from thendlord too.

 Chapter 780. He Really Worries About His Sister

    Chapter 780. He Really Worries About His Sister


    Yan Su was speechless. She guessed that he was some rich mans son. It was really impressive that he purchased two connected ts in such an expensive area in Xia City, and made it sound like nothing. Some young people are indeed living a luxurious life nowadays, she thought.


    I never saw you in Ximei. Are you a new student? Yan Su asked. A pretty boy like this might drive all the girls in the school crazy. Perhaps, he would be even more popr than Chi Shengxu. Are you studying acting?


    Directing, Mo Liuxi didnt like talking to strange women. However, as she was his sisters friend, he thought for a moment and then added, Im a foreign exchange student.


    Yan Su finally understood why he had been using so many retroflex consonants when talking.


    Are you studying in Ximei too? Mo Liuxi pretended not to know.


    Yeah, Yan Su nodded. Its okay for you to decorate your t. But, itste at night now. The loud noise that youre creating is really disturbing your neighbors.


    But I need to finish the decorations as soon as possible, so I can move in, Mo Liuxi knitted his pretty brows.


    Still, you cant disturb me. I cant even hear my TV, because of the noises you are making. Yan Su was really helpless.


    She finally had a vacation toe home. All she wanted to do was to take a good rest. After all, she needed to leave in just a couple of days.


    Mo Liuxi knitted his brows even tighter. He had a chiseled face. With that frown, his entire body radiated a sort of coldness that made him seem very hard to get along with.


    When Yan Su thought there woulde a fight, he stayed silent for about ten seconds, then abruptly responded with, Okay. We wont be working tonight.


    Thank you, Yan Su sighed with relief. Fortunately, that rich boy wasnt an unreasonable person.


    She walked back to her door, then turned and said with a soft voice, Can you please start working after ten oclock tomorrow morning? I usually sleepte during vacations.


    Do you think thats possible? Mo Liuxi gave her a meaningful nce.


    Yan Su disappointedly turned around and went back into her t.


    The person next-door finally stopped making noise. She fixed herself a bowl of rice, and started eating.


    Eating alone was no fun. After just a couple of bites, she felt full.


    It would be a waste to dump the food, though.


    At that moment, she heard the doorbell.


    She went to the door, and looked through the peephole before answering the door.


    The boy next door stood out there, asking, Do you have scissors?


    Yeah Yan Su nodded after a short pause, Just wait a minute.


    After that, she turned to look for the scissors in the TV cab.


    Mo Liuxi nced around her apartment. It was smaller than his own t, but was clean. There were pastoral-style cushions on the chairs and couch. This tcked nothing. A dish of steamed spareribs with rice flour and a dish of stir-fried bitter gourd were ced on the dining table, which was near the door.


    His sister was surely not here.


    ording to the message from Chu Jiu, Xu Luosang had moved in with Nian Junting long ago.


    Nian Junting slept with his sister before marrying her. And Xu Luosang was easily lured into a thirty-year-old mans bed, and also let someone take away her family business.


    He was really worried about his sister.


    I found them, Yan Su turned around, saw the man standing by the door, staring at the food on her table with a cold face.


    However, that cold look only lingered on his face for a second. Soon, it was gone, reced by his usual nd face, as if what Yan Su just saw was only an illusion.

 Chapter 781. You Should Address Us As Your Sister

    Chapter 781. You Should Address Us As Your Sister


    You cook well and Im hungry. Can I eat here? Mo Liuxi was entering the apartment before she even answered.


    Yan Su was a little stunned and nodded her head after a long while. She couldnt finish the food anyway so he could have some. They would be ssmates in the future; they might as well build an amicable friendship now.


    Let me get you a bowl of rice. Yan Su emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of rice.


    The white rice was ced in front of Mo Liuxi and he looked down at it and up again. His harsh gaze expressed his disapproval. Ill let it go today, but you shouldnt let strangers into your ce in the future. Especially when youre alone at home. There are too many bad guys out there.


    He feltpelled to remind her since she was Luosangs roommate. It was for Luosangs sake.


    So, she shouldnt have let him in?


    Yan Su thought that she was an easy-going person, but she found it hard to like the man sitting in front of her. He was a good-looking fe though, she had to admit.


    As a stranger, why did you invite yourself into the home of a girl that you barely know? Yan Su calmly asked him.


    Do you realize how thick-skinned you are? Yan Su thought.


    Because I know I am a good person. Mo Liuxi picked up his chopsticks; the dishes looked tasty.


    Yan Su shook her head in exasperation. She lowered her head to concentrate on the food. She had lost her appetite by then so she put down her utensils after a few bites.


    She was originally worried that she couldnt finish all the food but the man opposite her had a voracious appetite. He even finished the entire bowl of steamed pork ribs.


    Yan Su was astonished to watch him eat like that. She noticed his longshes fluttering under the light. He resembled Luosang quite a bit.


    Even the way he ate, and his appetite.


    After a bowl of rice, Mo Liuxi looked up and said, Do you have more rice?


    No more.


    Can I finish the rest of the food? he asked again, his voice as clear as day.


    Knock yourself out.


    After finishing all the food, Mo Liuxi looked up again. Im not full yet. I think I have to grab some fried riceter.


    Yan Su held back herughter. You resemble my friend when you eat. Shes my roommate.


    Oh really? Mo Liuxis cold expression softened and he raised his eyebrows. He looked intrigued. How so?


    She eats as well as you do.


    Mo Liuxi thought about it. He did eat his food well. He must have taken after Mo Jin just as Luosang did.


    Why isnt your roommate back?


    Shes staying with her boyfriend. Yan Su stood up to clear the table.


    She then felt an eerie aura.


    Mo Liuxi grunted and said, Young girls nowadays really dont know how to love themselves.


    Yan Su was miffed but also amused. You look like youre younger than us. I dont think were young girls anymore. You should address us as your sister.


    Uninterested, he said coldly.


    All right. Go along then. You were here to borrow a pair of scissors and you scored a free meal too. Yan Su handed him a pair of scissors.


    Ill return itter. Mo Liuxi left with the scissors.


    Yan Su wiped the table and washed the dishes. When she came out, Mo Liuxi was there to return the scissors. Thank you, he said.

 Chapter 782. Do Not Get Into a Strange Mans Car

    Chapter 782. Do Not Get Into a Strange Man''s Car


    I just feel that you girls shouldnt move into some mans ce without any consideration. Mo Liuxis handsome face glowed with a serious expression.


    Yan Su didnt respond, but pushed him out the door and closed it.


    The next morning, she was awakened by loud banging. She covered her ears with the quilt, but the noise didnt fade. Not being able to fall asleep again, she got up and freshened up. After breakfast, she called Luosang to make an early appointment with her.


    Nian Junting answered the call and said, Luo is still sleeping. Please dont disturb her.


    Im sorry. Yan Su got very nervous when hearing Nian Juntings voice. Can you please ask her to call me back when she wakes up?


    No. Nian Junting ended the call.


    Yan Su wanted to cry. What on earth was wrong with those men? Atst, she had no choice but to wait. At ten oclock, Luosang finally called her. Sorry. I just woke up. Ive been really sleepy since I got pregnant.


    Alright, can youe out now? Yan Su sighed quietly.


    Sure.


    They made an appointment. Yan Su came out of her apartment, turned, and saw Mo Liuxi walking out of the apartment next door. He was wearing a pair of ck jeans and a white T-shirt tucked in. His legs seemed long and straight, and his body looked so well proportioned.


    Yan Su was angry, but her anger faded when she saw how good he looked.


    Morning, he greeted her.


    Yan Su nced at him and said, I treated you for dinnerst night. Couldnt you start workingter?


    No, Mo Liuxi responded ndly.


    Yan Su walked into the elevator grumpily. Before the door closed, a slim hand slipped in, and Mo Liuxi walked into the elevator. Yan Su turned slightly away from him. Mo Liuxi gave her a nce, but said nothing.


    Once the elevator stopped, he walked out first, and Yan Su followed behind him. They both headed toward the apartment gate. Near the gate, Mo Liuxi abruptly opened the door of a silver Porsche.


    Yan Su only nced at the car and kept walking toward the gate. Before she walked out of the gate, the Porsche pulled up to her slowly and stopped. Where are you going? Ill give you a ride, to thank you for treating mest night.


    If you really want to thank me, please start workingter tomorrow morning, Yan Su said, stopping.


    Mo Liuxi didnt respond, but got out of the car, dragged her to the passenger door and pushed her into the car. He did it so quickly and smoothly, that Yan Su didnt realize what was happening until she was already sitting in the car.


    By then, Mo Liuxi had gotten back into the car, buckled up, and started the car again. Today, its me, so itll be fine, he said, But next time, you need to be careful. Dont get into a strange mans car.


    This friend of my sisters is really careless. Its a miracle that she hasnt been kidnapped and sold, he thought.


    I think you forced me in, didnt you? Yan Su felt very unhappy. Where is this boy from? Why did his parents let him out? Cant they just lock him up at home? she thought.


    Couldnt you fight back? Mo Liuxi calmly threw the question back.


    Yan Su was really confused. If the car hadnt been moving, she would have liked very much to have gotten out.


    Where are you going? Mo Liuxi asked ndly.


    Yan Su told him the name of a shopping mall.


    Are you going shopping with your roommate?


    Yeah. How did you know? Yan Su asked.


    I took a guess. Mo Liuxi held the steering wheel with one hand, the other rested on the gearshift, looking pretty casual.

 Chapter 783. You Can Be Dressed Skimpily Laying There And He Will Be Thrilled

    Chapter 783. You Can Be Dressed Skimpily Laying There And He Will Be Thrilled


    Yan Su opened her mouth to protest but she held herself back.


    She wasnt familiar with him after all. He probably wouldnt listen to her.


    Is your friend on good terms with her boyfriend? Mo Liuxi asked as she was ying with her phone.


    Yeah, she is, Yan Su answered as she scrolled through her social media ount. Her boyfriend is nice and hes super good-looking too.


    Superficial, he said with mockery.


    Yan Su was stunned and annoyed. Yeah, I am superficial. What business is that of yours?


    Not my business.


    The conversation ended there.


    It was silence in the car for a long while after that. Yan Su prayed they would arrive at their destination soon. She didnt want to get a ride from the neighbor again.


    When they reached the mall, Yan Su said a curt thanks before climbing out of the vehicle.


    The whole way there, she was frustrated and grumpy. Her mood picked up slightly when she met up with Luosang. You know, we have a new neighbor on our floor. Hes doing renovations.


    Luosang was surprised. Oh really? Im not sure about that. I was in An City after the exams. Is it very noisy?


    They start early in the morning at eight. Yan Su grimaced. Probably a rich mans son. He bought both units on our floor and connected the two apartments. Oh yea, hes enrolled in our school as well, in the film production course. I heard hes an overseas exchange student.


    He must be pretty good. Luosang smiled.


    Yan Su sighed. I am not so sure about that but he is definitely an arrogant and cocky man. He was over for free food and drinksst night and he was so self-righteous to tell me not to invite a stranger over. I thought he might start his renovation workster today after our meal together but he didnt consider that at all. He acts so high and mighty, its quite annoying.


    Luosang was amused. Sounds like an annoying man to me too, since he made youin. You are one of the most well-tempered people I know. I was going to move back tonight but forget it. I dont think Ill go back.


    Youre pregnant. Donte over, its too noisy. Yan Suined. I dont think Chi Shengxu will be prince charming in school in the uing semester.


    Oh? Luosang raised her brows. Our neighbor is even better looking than Chi Shengxu?


    Why are you so clever? Yan Su smiled. He is really handsome, like a little vixen. Oh yeah, and he resembles you quite a bit. Especially the way you eat. Wow. I was amazed at his appetite.


    Enough. Stop teasing me. My appetite is not the same. I want to vomit every time I eat. Luosang felt sick thinking about how much she threw up from her previous meal.


    Hasnt it been three months already?


    Maybe I am just more sensitive. Luosang shrugged.


    You said you were going to buy Mr. Nian a birthday gift. What are you nning to get? Yan Su was walking around the mall with her.


    Not sure. Do you have any ideas? Luosang said, looking around.


    It was tacky to buy him shoes or clothes. Watches were too expensive and he wouldnt like the cheap ones.


    He will probably be the happiest if you are the present, Yan Su blurted out.


    Luosang was tickled. I am already his.


    Im talking about dressing up in a sexy way and presenting yourself to him as a present. Yan Su gestured suggestively. You can find arge box and put it in the room. You can hide in the box when he takes a shower. When he opens the box, you can be dressed skimpilyying there and he will be thrilled.

 Chapter 784. Su, You Really Know Everything

    Chapter 784. Su, You Really Know Everything


    Luosang found herself really admiring Yan Su. She was such an innocent-looking girl, but why did she have so many weird thoughts in her head?


    Seriously, Luosang was now a woman who regrly wanted to have sex with a man, but still, she wasnt as open-minded as Yan Su.


    Luosang carefully pictured that scene, and found it surprising enough.


    Nian Junting would be so, so happy.


    Her face reddened and her heart raced.


    I suddenly feel that your future boyfriend is a really lucky guy.


    Luosang coiled her arm into Yan Sus arm, saying, Youll give him all kinds of delightful surprises, and your life will always be fun.


    Yan Su couched shyly, responded with, I was trying so hard toe up with a solution for your problem. Is it appropriate for you to tease me for that? I broke up with my boyfriend not long ago.


    Its not appropriate at all. Luosang didnt want to remind her of those bad things, so she hurriedly changed the topic, That is a good idea, but Im pregnant


    You can have sex after the first three months, cant you? Yan Su interrupted her without thinking, As long as you dont do it too intensely.


    Luosang blushed, saying, Su, you really know everything. Still waters run deep. Thats how people describe people like you.


    Well Anyone who has read many romantic novels knows these things. Yan Su felt a little shy. Based on how horny Mr. Nian is, I dont believe that you guys havent


    Alright, lets stop here, Luosang couldnt bear continuing the conversation.


    Ever since that time when she and Nian Junting had sex on the dinner table, she never had the heart to talk to Yan Su about these things.


    The shopping mall was huge. They spent over an hour making just one circle around it.


    Luosang had her eyes on some clothes. She wanted to buy them, but realized that her belly would growrger andrger, and soon, she would be able to wear nothing but loose-fitting clothes and maternity pants.


    Just buy them if you like them. Mr. Nian is rich anyway, said Yan Su.


    Hes rich indeed, but still, we cant just waste money. Never mind, Ill just look for sportswear


    So, are you here to shop for clothes for yourself, or to buy gifts for Mr. Nian? Yan Su asked her.


    Luosang blinked and said, Ah, I almost forgot about that. I havente out to shop for such a long time. My eyes were dazzled when I saw those pretty clothes.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    Lets go and get some spicy food. I need some vor in my mouth, Luosang suggested.


    Theres an old saying in my old townSour boy and spicy girl. Im afraid that youre gonna have a daughter, said Yan Su.


    Luosang smiled and nced at her. She replied, Tell Nian Junting that. Hed be thrilled.


    While chatting, they stepped onto the esctor. Before reaching the top, a woman in ck suddenly raised a vacuum cup and through a cup of hot water at Luosang.


    Both Luosang and Yan Su were still on the esctor. The attack happened too quickly. They didnt dare to move forward or backward, but could only raise their bags to cover their faces. But still, boiling hot water sshed on their hands and bodies.


    Only a small amount of the water was poured on Yan Su, so she suffered less pain, and reacted quicker than Luosang.


    The esctor was sending them to the top, and that woman stayed before the esctor, seemed to push them down.


    Yan Su didnt worry about herself. However, Luosang was pregnant.


    Because of that urgent situation, she lunged forward and bumped into the woman.


    That woman gripped her hair. Yan Su pushed her slightly away from the esctor, and then they started fighting.


    Luosang came up and saw that womans face clearly. She was surprised, because that woman was none other than Jiang Qifei.

 Chapter 785. His Face Was Flawless, Where Did He Come From?

    Chapter 785. His Face Was wless, Where Did He Come From?


    Jiang Qifei was different from the way she usually was. She used to dress up in pretty clothes and borate makeup, carrying a brand name bag. Now, her hair was a mess and there were bruises on her cheek. Her neck had obvious strangtion marks and her arms were battered with injuries too.


    Luosang took a long while to recognize her.


    Yan Su was skinny and Jiang Qifei pushed her forcefully against the railing. Her hips hit the metal bar and she winced in pain.


    Jiang Qifei was starting to pounce on Luosang after Yan Su was out of the way. Xu Luosang you wretch, youve done this to me.


    Luosang was pregnant and she didnt want to fight her so she turned to run away. Jiang Qifei grabbed a hold of her hair and raised her hand to p her.


    Luosang grabbed her hands and refused to let go. Jiang Qifei used the other hand that was grabbing her hair to hit Luosangs head repeatedly.


    She yelled at her, Do you think Im afraid of you because youve got Nian Junting? I am going to kill you, you bitch! You stole my daughters man and now you turned me into this. See what I will do to you.


    She was getting more and more agitated so she started choking Luosangs neck.


    She pushed Luosang backward until Luosang was against the cupboard.


    Just as Yan Su was about to go forward and pull Jiang Qifei away, a man dressed in white stepped forward and pulled Jiang Qifei aside. She was thrown onto the floor.


    Luosang was gasping for air as she rubbed her neck. She was dizzy and her face was red.


    Jiang Qifei picked herself up and tried to charge towards Luosang again but the big man grabbed both her hands and tugged her forcefully until a loud crack was heard. Jiang Qifei was screaming in pain now.


    Sang, are you ok? Yan Su went forward to support Luosang. Her face was stricken with terror. Are you feeling well? Do you need to go to the hospital?


    Luosang waved her hands to tell her that she was fine. Jiang Qifei had hit her head and it was hurting a bit and buzzing.


    Ill call the hospital immediately. Yan Su felt for her phone and she realized that she had dropped it in the scuffle.


    Just as she was about to pick it up, the man in white bent over and picked her bag up and threw it towards her.


    Thanks Yan Su said as she looked up at the man. She paused when she saw his face clearly. Its you


    She didnt think that it would be the neighbor that gave her a ride. His expression was grim and dark now.


    Mo Liuxi ignored her and walked straight to Luosang. He quickly carried her in his arms.


    Luosang was shocked by his gesture and when she looked up and saw him, she was stunned.


    She used to think that Nian Junting was very handsome, but this man in front of her no, he was more like a boy. His visual aesthetic was shocking. He had the perfect nose bridge, pink and luscious lips and bright big eyes with a tinge of exotess. His face was wless. Where did hee from?


    Why did he look so familiar? Had she met him before? She couldnt pinpoint where she knew him from.


    Umyou


    Who fought here? Two security officers approached them and they were shocked to see Jiang Qifei wailing in pain on the floor.

 Chapter 786. Mo Liuxi Carried Luosang

    Chapter 786. Mo Liuxi Carried Luosang


    That crazy woman attacked us! Bring her to the police station! Yan Su hurriedly said.


    They broke my arm, Jiang Qifei struggled up from the ground and cried, You need to uphold justice! Im a VIP customer! I spend over ten million a year in your ce!


    You attacked them first. We saw it, another customer who witnessed the whole thing pointed at Jiang Qifei.


    Please call the police for us. We wont let her get away with it so easily, said Luosang. After she said that, Mo Luoxi carried her toward the esctor.


    Put me down, Luosang struggled.


    That man was super handsome, but still, she couldnt ept being carried by any man but Nian Junting.


    Were on the esctor. Dont move. Im taking you to the hospital, Mo Liuxi nced at her with cold warning, then stepped onto the esctor, walking down.


    Luosang was frightened. They were on an esctor, and she was pregnant. She didnt dare to move, but gripped his arms tight.


    Behind them, Yan Su hurriedly followed. Mo Liuxi moved too fast. She needed to make two steps to catch up with every step he made, so atst, she started running. Finally, she caught up with him, saw him carrying Luosang. His pretty face was nervous and serious, as if it was he himself who had been injured.


    Yan Su couldnt help but wonder how angry the extremely jealous Mr. Nian would be if he saw this.


    Sangsang is really charming though. She seized Mr. Nian whos older than her, and now, a young man fell for her as well, she thought.


    Mo Liuxi carried Luosang directly to his sports car. Yan Su hurriedly climbed into the back seat. Before she had even closed the car door, it started moving like a gust of wind.


    She grabbed the railing in the car, closed the door, and then couldnt help but scream, Cant you at least wait until I close the door?


    Mo Liuxi ndly nced at her and said, Im sorry. I forgot that someone was in the backseat.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say. She put a hand on her chest, feeling her heart pounding.


    She followed closely behind him, and created quite some noises. Yet, she was actually neglected.


    She had met him yesterday, and he even ate the food that she made. But now, he waspletely ignoring her.


    The world was really ruled by pretty people. But, she was not ugly, was she? She and Luosang were in twopletely different styles though. Wereely people out of date already? Was the world ruled by delicate and charming girls like Luosang now?


    No wonder Shi Xiang had been cold with her too.


    But now wasnt the time for her to recall the past. She came back to her senses, and asked Luosang who was in the front seat, Sangsang, youre not feeling ufortable, are you?


    No, but earlier, my belly bumped into something, Luosang put a hand on her belly with concern.


    Yan Su immediately wore a serious look. If the baby was hurt, Mr. Nian would eat her alive. After all, she and Luosang had been shopping together.


    Thinking of Mr. Nians scary-looking face, Yan Su gathered some courage and said, Ill call Mr. Nian.


    Luosang didnt try to stop her. Yan Su quickly dialed Nian Juntings number.


    I know what youre going to say. Im in the parking lot. Iming. A couple of minutes earlier, Nian Junting had got a call from the people who were responsible for Luosangs safety.


    He was so angry at those men. Since Luosang was attacked by Zhong Yi, he had hired people to follow Luosang and protect her secretly. However, those two stupid men were too far away from her to stop what had happened. That was how Jiang Qifei found the opportunity to attack her.

 Chapter 787. She wondered if he had fallen in love with Luosang at first sight

    Chapter 787. She wondered if he had fallen in love with Luosang at first sight


    Yan Su was surprised; how did he find out so quickly?


    I cant reach Luosang, is she alright?


    Luosang was hit a few times by Jiang Qifei, were on our way to the hospital


    Nian Junting sounded cold over the phone, Which hospital?


    Although he wasnt on the loudspeaker, Luosang could hear him shouting over the phone and she turned to ask Mo Liuxi, Which hospital are we going to?


    Im not sure, Im not familiar with the area, you can lead the way, Mo Liuxi replied coldly.


    Luosang was speechless.


    He didnt even know where the hospital was and he drove off blindly. Tell Junting that were headed to the Renhe Hospital.


    It was close by and they reached it within five minutes.


    Just as Luosang was about to climb out of the car, Mo Liuxi rushed to her door to carry her again.


    I can walk by myself, Luosang said awkwardly. She thought he was acting strange but she wasnt repelled by this boy. She felt a sense of familiarity around him, she might have been a little ufortable with other men hugging her like this even if they had just saved her life.


    No, what if you have a concussion? Dont move around, Mo Liuxi carried her straight to the emergency department.


    The hospital thought she was a critically ill patient so they wheeled over a bed.


    Mo Liuxi ced her gently on the bed and she felt a little guilty. She wasnt seriously injured and she felt bad for taking up precious hospital resources.


    The nurse on shift quickly came over and registered them on the logbook, What is the condition of the patient?


    She was beaten up by someone, Mo Liuxi answered coldly.


    The nurse was visibly taken aback and looked up at him. She paused when she saw his face but still replied professionally, Where was she hit?


    The head, she was strangled as well, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su quickly added, She is also three months pregnant, you should check on the fetus.


    Mo Liuxi turned to re at her immediately, he looked like he had just received a huge blow and he looked furious.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    She wondered if he had fallen in love with Luosang at first sight, was that why he was so upset when he found out that Luosang was already pregnant?


    That didnt take him long, did it?


    Young people these days.


    Luosang didnt notice Mo Liuxis reaction, she was more concerned about her baby.


    After the nurse heard that she was pregnant, she also got more anxious. She quickly ordered someone to push Luosang into the radiology room for an ultrasound scan and took her blood pressure and some blood tests.


    Mo Liuxi and Yan Su were waiting outside along the corridor, he was pacing up and down the hallway when he suddenly kicked the wall forcefully and let out a loud yell.


    Yan Su jumped and cleared her throat, Tell me the truth, are you Sangs secret admirer? Is that why you moved in next to us?


    It wasnt likely that he fell in love at first sight given his dramatic reaction now, this was the only other exnation Yan Su coulde up with.


    Dont talk to me, Im in a terrible mood, Mo Liuxis delicate face was bright red with anger.


    The corner of Yan Sus mouth twitched.


    She didnt want to talk to him anyway so she walked over to a corner to wait for Luosang quietly by herself.


    After five minutes, Luosang appeared with an ultrasound report. Mo Liuxi stood still against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest., Yan Su asked anxiously, Hows the baby?


    The doctor told me to follow up with the obstetrician with this report, Luosang fished out the report. Before Yan Su could have a look at it, Mo Liuxi had already snatched it away.


    He stared at the ultrasound report, all he could make out was the word pregnant and he couldnt understand anything else.

 Chapter 788. How Did You Manage to Make Both Older and Younger Men Fall for You?

    Chapter 788. How Did You Manage to Make Both Older and Younger Men Fall for You?


    His eyes popped.


    He wanted to kill Nian Junting.


    His sister was with a lousy man when he found her.


    And even worse, she was already pregnant with that mans child.


    He was so angry.


    Yan Su leaned toward Luosang and whispered to her, Thats our new neighbor. Im thinking that he might be in secret love with you, so he moved next door to us. Look at him. Hes so jealous.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    How did you manage to make both older and younger men fall for you? Yan Su continued.


    Older and younger


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched.


    Was Nian Junting the older man? Was the young man in front of her the younger one?


    Um Thank you for saving me and my baby, said Luosang sincerely, My boyfriend is on his way here. You can leave now. Thank you for your help.


    Hes only your boyfriend, and you are already pregnant? Mo Liuxi flicked the Ultrasonic B report in his hand, saying, Youre three months pregnant already. You havent even finished school yet. How old are you?


    Hearing his words, Luosangs cheeks burned.


    She would argue with him if he was someone else, but facing that young man, she somehow couldnt say a word.


    Yan Su red at him and said, Ive been feeling that youre way out of line sincest night. Whats your problem? What Luosang does has nothing to do with you.


    Before, she had nothing to do with me. It doesnt mean that shell never have anything to do with me in the future, Mo Liuxi sounded very t.


    Luosangs eyes were the size of saucers.


    Yan Su was also surprised by his tone.


    That sounded so inappropriate. Luosang was pregnant, yet he still wanted her.


    Yan Su regretted letting hime into her t for dinnerst night.


    Also, why had Luosang been so quiet today? What was wrong with her?


    Mo Liuxi made a few steps forward, then turned back and said, Lets go and see a gynecologist.


    Luosang knew what he was going to do. She automatically moved backward to dodge, but still ended up being lifted by Mo Liuxi.


    I can walk, she said. She felt very awkward.


    If the baby is already hurt, you walking will only hurt it even more badly, Mo Liuxi walked toward the gynecology department which was located in another building, with big strides.


    Nian Junting hurriedly drove to the hospital, and parked his car. He took out his phone, preparing to call Yan Su and ask her where they were. But before he could dial, he nced around and found Yan Su following behind a man. That man was carrying a woman, whom he could always recognize. She slept by his side every single night, and often sat on hisp.


    Why on earth was she in some boys arms?


    Nian Junting wanted very much to punch him, but then realized that Luosang was now pregnant with his child, so she might not cheat on him so openly. He guessed that she was injured pretty badly.


    He quickly walked over to the three, blocked the way and asked with a serious look, Luo, is something happening to the baby?


    Junting um no.


    As he suddenly showed up, Luosang was stunned, and then her heart sank. This is bad, she thought. She was in a mans arms. He was still a student, but Nian Junting always hated any male creature around her.


    And, that man was showing no sign of putting her down.


    Are your legs hurt? Nian Junting fixed his eyes on her legs.


    No


    Hearing that, Nian Junting exploded with jealousy. If the baby is fine and your legs are unharmed, why do you let a man carry you?


    She looked weak and vulnerable in that mans arms. She was never so quiet in his own arms. If he didnt know that she was injured by Jiang Qifie just now, he would have dragged her off and then killed that pretty boy.

 Chapter 789. Dont fight when Im gone

    Chapter 789. Don''t fight when I''m gone


    This chap was even better looking than Chi Shengxu, Nian Juntings hair stood on their ends. He walked forward and extended his hand towards Mo Liuxi, Thank you for saving my wife, you should return her to me now.


    Wife? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows, You two are not married yet, correct me if I am wrong.


    He didnt like Nian Junting from the get-go, the first thing he asked when he arrived was whether the baby was alright. He didnt ask about Luosangs injuries neither did he notice the patch of redness on her neck.


    Were going to get married sooner orter.


    They even had a baby together, wasnt marriage already set in stone?


    Mo Liuxi cleared his throat, As if her family had already given you their blessings.


    <i>1</i>Nian Junting wanted to murder him, This is between the both of us, isnt it? Who are you anyway? Do I need to exin myself to you? Hand her over to me now or put her down, dont me me if I lose my temper.


    Im notfortable with letting someone else hold her, Mo Liuxi replied him casually.


    Nian Junting was about to explode.


    Where did this lunatice from?


    Someone else? Was he just someone else?


    Luosang had no strength to protest, she couldnt bring herself to detest Mo Liuxi she took a certain liking to him. She knew that Nian Junting would probably fly into a rage if this went on though.


    <i>1</i>If it was him in the past, he would have hit Mo Liuxi already.


    Junting, you carry me, Luosang reached out for him.


    Nian Junting looked appeased, just as he was going to carry her over, Mo Liuxi walked towards the emergency department, going around Nian Junting.


    Yan Su saw that Nian Juntings face had turned ashen grey, just before he blew his top, she reminded him, Mr. Nian, the doctor warned us that Luosang might be unstable right now and her baby might be in danger, you need to calm down.


    Nian Junting calmed down immediately. He was extremely worried on the way there, he was scared that his little princess would be lost. It was an ordeal for him to finally get a baby girl at thirty years old.


    He nearly forgot about his worries when he saw Mo Liuxi.


    He turned and chased after Mo Liuxi.


    He wanted to beat Mo Liuxi up and snatch Luosang from him but he was worried that he might hurt Luosang and the baby in the process of doing so.


    He had to swallow his anger and tolerate him for now.


    It was never toote for revenge anyway.


    When Luosangpleted her examination, he would break the chaps arms.


    How dare he act so cockily in front of him, he must teach the guy a lesson.


    At the obstetrics clinic, men were not allowed to enter. Yan Su was the only one allowed to apany Luosang to see the doctor.


    When Luosang reached the door, she turned to say to Mo Liuxi, Thank you, you can head back now.


    After pausing for a while, she turned and said to Nian Junting, Dont fight when Im gone.


    He was annoyed.


    She was siding with this gigolo.


    I wont, he replied in a low voice.


    Luosang and Yan Su entered the doctors office. There was a patient before them and Yan Su whispered in Luosangs ear while waiting, Whats going on, are you soft-hearted because of how handsome that man is? I have to remind you that you are carrying Mr. Nians child, dont have a change of heart at this juncture.


    Luosang was speechless, Am I that kind of person?


    You never know, Yan Su shook her head, That man is awfully good looking. When he stood next to Mr. Nian just now, it entuated his wild and young charisma next to Mr. Nians mature and manly vibe. They each have their charms.

 Chapter 790. Her Business is My Business

    Chapter 790. Her Business is My Business


    Luosang wondered if Nian Junting would beat her to death if she said what she said in front of him.


    No, I just feel that hes rather friendly, Luosang told the truth, Its strange. No matter what he does, I wouldnt be mad. And, didnt you find him extra cute when he was trying to pull a long face?


    Yan Su shivered and replied with, Were you talking about Mr. Nian?


    No, Luosang shook her head, Ive often wanted to kill Junting with my slipper.


    Yan Su was speechless. How sad would Mr. Nian be if he heard that?


    Luo, is it because that boy looks a little simr to you? Yan Su said.


    Luosang paused briefly, saying, We do look a little simr. If only he was my brother.


    Thinking about her younger brother, she sighed.


    Please, Yan Su hurriedly responded with, Youre such a nice person. You wouldnt have such an annoying brother.


    Luosang smiled. At that moment, the doctor waved a hand toward her and asked, What is wrong?


    Luosang handed him the b-ultrasound scan report.


    The doctor spent a short while reading the report, then brought her into the consulting room and gave her a checkup.


    Soon after, the doctor walked out and said to her, Youre not bleeding, but there is a small risk for miscarriage. You should rest at home for a little while. Donte out. Also, sexual intercourse needs to be avoided for a while.


    Luosangs heart sank.


    She was nning to give herself to Nian Junting as a gift, as she truly didnt know what to get him. But now, that n could not be executed.


    Should I take some medicine?


    Better not. Almost all medicines have side effects, the doctor handed her the report back.


    As she and Yan Su walked out, Nian Junting immediately stood up from his chair. He quickly walked to Luosangs side, put an arm around her and asked, Luo, what did the doctor say? He was probably afraid that the thick-skinned Mo Liuxi would try to carry his woman again.


    Luosang told him what the doctor said.


    Nian Junting wanted to kill Jiang Qifei.


    Why were some women so crazy nowadays?


    He kindly spared them, yet they never stopped creating trouble.


    What was wrong with that woman? Mo Liuxi asked with a serious expression.


    Thats none of your business, Nian Junting coldly responded. This time, he carried Luosang.


    Luosang put her arms around his neck, feeling speechless.


    She felt as if she had be a toy, and those two men were taking turns to carry her. She wasnt injured so badly, was she?


    Her business is my business, Mo Liuxi fixed his eyes on Luosangs face. The coldness in his eyes melted slightly, like ice under the sunlight.


    Go and see a doctor if you have a problem, Nian Junting gave him a re, then carried Luosang away with big strides.


    There are so many psychos nowadays, he thought.


    Xu Luosang, well see each other again, Mo Liuxi didnt move, but simply smiled.


    Sensing his affirmative tone of speaking, Nian Junting wanted to kick him down the stairs.


    When hearing his voice, Luosang couldnt help but raise her head to look at him.


    Under the snow-white light, the boys face was glowing. His lip corners curved slightly in a wicked, charming and elegant smile.


    She was a little bit dazzled.


    In about three seconds, Nian Juntings sour eyes blocked her line of sight.


    Then, Luosang turned her eyes away guiltily.


    After they left, Yan Su walked up to Mo Liuxi.


    With a frown, she said straightforwardly, I dont care how much you like Luosang. She has a boyfriend, and they love each other. It was never easy for them to guard this happiness that they have. Just leave her alone.

 Chapter 791. Youre full of trouble even when youre pregnant

    Chapter 791. You''re full of trouble even when you''re pregnant


    Mo Liuxi was baffled, why did all these people think of him as a love rival?


    Especially Nian Junting, he looked like he wanted to skin him alive.


    He was pleased though. Since Luosang was pregnant, he couldnt convince her to leave that old man now. This was an outlet for him to vent his frustrations and spite that guy, he wasnt in a rush to rify the misunderstanding. They could think what they want about his intentions for now.


    He was going to keep Nian Junting on edge as well, to remind him that Luosang still had plenty of suitors even when she was pregnant.


    He was there to teach him a lesson.


    Mind your own business, he answered coldly after a while.


    Yan Su was about to faint, Who cares about your business? Im not even familiar with you, Im telling you this for the sake of Luosang.


    If you care about her, you should stay out of this, Mo Liuxi turned to leave after saying his piece.


    Leaving Yan Su standing there by herself, she was frustrated.


    Nian Junting strapped Luosang into the car seat grumpily.


    Luosang peeped to look at him but he was expressionless.


    When he got into the drivers seat, he received a call and he shouted into the receiver, Iming overter, let the police interrogate her properly. Dont even think of letting her off without a year in jail at least.


    He hung up after that.


    Luosang asked, Jiang Qifei is in the police station?


    Nian Junting ignored her and started the car.


    Luosang thought that he looked ridiculous and she reached out to pinch his cheeks.


    Nian Junting dodged her hands and he said spitefully, Dont touch me with those hands that you touched another man with.


    Luosang burst intoughter, When did I touch another man?


    You know it better than anyone else.


    He said grumpily.


    Im a pregnantdy who got into a scuffle, Luosang pouted, My head hurts, my neck hurts but you only care about your feelings. Youre so busy getting jealous that you havent even shown me any concern. All youre going now is saying nasty things about my life savior.


    Nian Juntings tense face softened immediately, he wasnt driving off yet so he turned and said to her, If I didnt show you any concern, why would I rush down here in such a hurry?


    I think youre more concerned about the baby than me, Luosang grunted at him.


    Are you jealous of the baby? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows, Arent you worried about our baby too?


    I am, but ever since youve arrived, all youve asked about is the babys condition, women are sensitive, and even more so when they are pregnant.


    The bodyguard I hired told me about your condition already, I know that you werent seriously injured. Thats why I was more concerned about the baby, Nian Junting looked at her, Turns out, youve found another love rival for me in such a short time. Youre full of trouble even when youre pregnant.


    Luosang was speechless so she rolled her eyes.


    Didnt you see that I was disheveled like a madwoman? How did I seduce him like this?


    I dont think so, Nian Junting grunted, Quit downying yourself in front of me. We both know that you look the best with your hair slightly messy and all. Every time after we have sex and when you wake up, your messy hair looks so irresistible to me.


    Luosang wanted to look at herself in the mirror right away, how irresistible could she look?


    Anyway, wasnt your bodyguard a little slow in ensuring my safety?


    Luosang rubbed the back of her head, she had been hit there by Jiang Qifei multiple times, Thank god for Yan Su and that boy today.


    She hadnt even asked for his name yet.

 Chapter 792. Mr. Nian isnt as Fresh and Juicy as Him

    Chapter 792. Mr. Nian isn''t as Fresh and Juicy as Him


    You dont like the bodyguards following you too closely, because thatll make you seem vain. Thats why I asked them to stay back a ways. When you were on the third floor, they were still on the ground floor. They couldnt see you when it happened. When they got there, Jiang Qifeis arm was already broken.


    Nian Junting frowned, That boy was really brutal.


    Jiang Qifei was an evil woman. But normally, when trying to save the victim of an attack, people would only hold the attacker down, or call the police, instead of neatly breaking the attackers arm as that boy did.


    I think it was pretty cool Before she could finish her speech, Luosang received a warning re from Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting gave a fake smile, and said, I think you treated that boy quite differently. He carried you, and you were so obedient. Didnt you feel awkward when a strange boy held you?


    While he was speaking, his eyes glowed with a dangerous light.


    He was an extremely confident man.


    However, ever since he met her, his confidence was destroyed by her by degrees.


    That boy was pretty indeed.


    He looked not yet mature. When he grew to Nian Juntings age, he would beparable to thetter.


    Hearing his question, Luosang paused briefly.


    When she was being held in that boys arms, her mind waspletely pure and innocent. She also had a strong feeling that he didnt do that to take advantage of her, or because he was in secret love with her.


    It was weird that she had such a feeling. No one would believe her even if she told people about it.


    I was attacked. I was dizzy, and my head was aching. How was I supposed to struggle? Besides, I need to think of the baby, Luosang rolled her eyes and pretended to be angry. Im pregnant with your baby. How can you doubt me like that? How could you say something like that? Im done talking to you.


    Finished talking, she turned away from him.


    Nian Junting pressed his lips together and started the car.


    Back in the vi.


    When they arrived, Luosang was leaning on the back of the seat, asleep.


    Nian Junting opened the car door, and gently carried her out of the car.


    Sister Lan came out. Before she said anything, Nian Junting gave her a nce.


    She hurriedly shut her mouth.


    Nian Junting put Luosang on the bed, then covered her belly with a nket. After that, he drove to the police station.


    As he walked into the police station, someone immediately greeted him, Mr. Nian, Nian Xi is in her office.


    Im not here for Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi is now responsible for your case, that man smiled, and then left for patrol.


    Nian Junting frowned, stood still for a few seconds, then walked toward Nian Xis office.


    Three female police officers gathered around her door, looking inside her office. They were also whispering to each other, and didnt realize that Nian Junting was standing behind them.


    Oh my, I regret it so much. If I knew that the witness is so handsome, I wouldnt have given the case to Nian Xi.


    Yeah, hes really handsome. I wouldnt be able to stay calm and record the statement. Look at Nian Xi. Shes soposed. Shes really a woman who has seen all sorts of pretty men.


    Youre right. That young man whom she brought herest time was handsome too.


    And her brother, Mr. Nian. Hes handsome as well.


    Mr. Nian isnt as fresh and juicy as he is.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, Do female police officers have so little work to do that they can only kill time with gossip?


    As his voice was suddenly heard, the three female police officers who were whispering to each other gave a start, turned, and saw him. They nearly prostrated themselves on the ground.


    Chen Shunhua, who had just said that Nian Junting wasnt fresh and juicy enough, wanted to die on the spot. MrMr. Nian Ah, Nian Xi, your brother is here. she stammered.

 Chapter 793. I Wont Mistreat Her, I Have Plenty of Money

    Chapter 793. I Won''t Mistreat Her, I Have Plenty of Money


    Nian Xi looked up while she was taking down a statement and pointed at a chair. Sit down here first, let me finish this up.


    As Nian Junting walked in, the man Nian Xi had been talking to suddenly turned to look at him. Nian Juntings face fell when he saw him.


    It was the same face that he had seen at the hospital not long ago.


    Madam, is this your Brother? Mo Liuxi askedzily.


    Yeah. Nian Xi looked over at her quiet brother and continued taking down the statement. Bro, this is the hero that saved my sister-inw, you shoulde over and thank him.


    He should be praised for being a public hero, but its another matter if he has ulterior motives. Nian Junting plopped himself into the chair andmanded Nian Xi, Alright, you can ask him to leave now after taking his statement. You dont need too many details; you can check the CCTV in the mall.


    Nian Xi chuckled, Cant, Jiang Qifeis arms are broken, apparently this guy did it. I need to ask more questions.


    Do I still need topensate her after saving someones life?


    Mo Liuxi hugged his chest, That woman was crazy, when I was trying to grab a hold on her, she was struggling frantically and she broke her own arms in the process, simple as that.


    Why were you there then? Nian Junting asked coldly. Your actions are making me think that you are a crazy stalker in love with my woman. Do you know Luosang from long ago? Was that why you were at the mall? Because you had a crush on her?


    Mo Liuxi grunted lightly, I do quite like her, so what?


    Nian Junting was enraged. B*stard, let me warn you, stay away from Luosang from now on. She is my woman and she is carrying my child, keep your feelings to yourself, do you hear me?


    Its ok, I can take care of your child too. I wont mistreat her; I have plenty of money. Mo Liuxi smiled brightly at him.


    Nian Junting red at him as his lips quivered in anger. Scram.


    Nian Xi tapped on the table with her pen and cleared her throat, Can you respect me as a police officer? Bro, Im questioning a witness here, if youre going to continue to interfere, dont me me for being harsh.


    Im just worried that silly you would miss out the fact that he is a crazy psychopath, Nian Junting said mockingly.


    Mo Liuxi stood up and put his hand in one of his pockets. Ive told you everything about it, if the womans family is going to sue me, they can contact me anytime. I wont give them a single cent. Im happy to bring the case to court if they want to.


    Wait, tell me your home address, Nian Xi said.


    Mo Liuxi started reciting his home address and Nian Xi found it more and more familiar as she jotted it down. By the time she realized it, Nian Junting kicked the chair away and stood up. You stay next door to Luosang?


    Yeah, Mo Liuxi grinned. I spent five million dors on the two apartments next to hers just to move in closer to her. Its under renovation now.


    Nian Xi was stunned.


    Damn, Luosang was amazing.


    How did she capture the heart of a strange man like her brother and how did she end up seducing another even while she was pregnant?


    He had spent five million dors just to stay next to her.


    He must be filthy rich then.


    Nian Junting was stunned too.


    He had seen other suitors chasing Luosang before and he secretly checked her phone too. There were always strange boys trying to slide into her inbox and he had deleted all of their requests. This was the craziest one yet, even crazier than Chi Shengxu.

 Chapter 794. Shell Like Me

    Chapter 794. She''ll Like Me


    You shouldnt buy that t, said Nian Junting coldly. Im afraid she wont live there again. Shell only live with me.


    She wille and live there, and shell like me, Mo Liuxi said, and then left with confidence.


    Nian Xi noticed that the veins in her brothers veins were throbbing, seeming to even jump out of his skin. So, she hurriedly pressed a hand on his shoulder and said, Brother, chill. He only said that to make you angry. My sister-inw is already pregnant. Can she possibly leave you?


    Nian Junting sat down unhappily.


    For many years, no one had dared to be so impolite to him.


    Nowadays, some young people are overconfident, as they have never suffered any bitterness. That is clearly one of them, Nian Xi smiled.


    Nian Junting picked up the note that Nian Xi had taken earlier, nced at it and said, Liu Xi, what an awful name.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    His name sounds awful, and hes ugly. Hes only twenty. Hes a little boy, Nian Juntingughed scornfully, then threw the notebook down.


    My notebook didnt offend you, did it? Nian Xi asked.


    How are you gonna deal with the case? Nian Junting asked coldly.


    Jiang Qifeis arm is injured. My colleagues have sent her to the hospital to treat her wound. Later, theyll bring her back here, Nian Xi stayed silent for a short while, then said, Ive contacted her husband. He isnt willing toe here. So, I called Shuangwei. I think shes on her way here already.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting immediately pulled a long face.


    Nian Xi spread her hands, and continued. We need to solve this problem for good. What Zhong Yi did is an example. Do you want something like that to happen again?


    Thats none of my business. Yi Jingxi caused all that trouble, Nian Junting was unhappy when he thought about it.


    Yet atst, you and Luosang suffered the consequence, Nian Xi frowned. The police will put Jiang Qifei in jail for a couple of months at the very most. It would be good if she realized how wrong she was in jail, but, what if she doesnt? She would hate you and Luosang even more. You cant kill her, can you? No matter how terrible she is, you need to follow thew. Its impossible for you to defend against someone like that effectively. Youll be fine, but what about Sangsang? Youre going to have a child. You cant have your people protect them every single moment.


    Then Ill send her to a mental institution. Shes incurable. Nian Junting responded tly.


    The problem is that she doesnt have a mental problem. Leng Shuangwei isnt silly. Nian Xi nced at him and said, Shuangwei is as blindly confident as you, but after all, she was a soldier. She wont be reasonable, and you cant fake evidence. Shes working in the Armed Police Force now. Do you understand me? Leng Family is no worse connected than our family.


    Nian Junting closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then looked at Nian Xi coldly. Who did you call blindly confident? he asked.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    She had said so many words, yet he remembered that part so clearly.


    Nian Xi, Jiang Qifei has returned from the hospital, one of Nian Xis colleagues knocked on the office door, then came in and added, Shes in the interrogation room.


    You go with us, said Nian Xi as she stood.


    As she and Nian Junting walked to the interrogation room, they heard Jiang Qifei cursing, My arm hurts like hell, and my throat is so dry. You better pour me a ss of water right now. Do you know who I am, Im Liao Qiulongs wife. My husband is the owner of Qifeng Holdings. Hes super rich. He can get me out of here at any time.


    Im sorry, Mrs. Liao. Weve informed your husband, but he said that hes out on a business trip, and that he has no time toe here, said Nian Xi as she pushed open the door and entered the room.


    Seeing Nian Junting who was standing behind Nian Xi, Jiang Qifei immediately fell silent. Her aggressive manner was reced by slight traces of both fear and hatred.

 Chapter 795. Nian Qingyun Would be so Furious That He Had to be Admitted to The Hospital

    Chapter 795. Nian Qingyun Would be so Furious That He Had to be Admitted to The Hospital


    Jiang Qifei muttered, How could it be? He was still at home today.


    Nian Junting sat opposite her, he was looking at Jiang Qifei.


    Since he could remember, he always thought that Jiang Qifei looked demure and stylish even though she wasnt the prettiest woman in the world. She would always put on borate makeup and dress in pretty clothes and essories. She looked old and sixty now, it was obvious that someone had punched her and she also had red marks on her arms.


    He thought to himself, Liao Qiulong is quite something.


    He had already tormented her to this state in a short period. He remembered what Nian Xi said to him though, he didnt want another lunatic like Zhong Yi to appear again.


    Dont you understand? He doesnt want to save you. Nian Junting crossed his legs. Liao Qiulong has seen plenty of beautiful women in his life. Young ones, fresh ones, but look at you now. No matter how hard you have tried to maintain yourself, youre an old woman now.


    Jiang Qifei looked panicky. No, it must be you. You must have said something to him. After he handed you the evidence, his attitude towards me took a nasty turn. He would use the whip on me often and hit me. He never gives me money to spend anymore and he fired the housekeeper at home. He expects me to cook and clean the house. He beats me when the food is unsatisfactory and he beats me when I dont do a good enough job cleaning. Look, it has only been a few days and Ive turned into this. I want to sue him; I want to sue him for domestic abuse.


    Nian Junting didnt say anything, he had expected the same.


    A man that would abandon his own family, did you think he would be a decent man? I only told him facts, you were having an affair when you were still married before, werent you? Am I wrong to say that?


    Jiang Qifei red at him and her voice was high pitched. Your dad seduced me. I was in a happy marriage; do you think I wanted to cheat? Its your dads fault for everything that happened today.


    Nian Xi covered her face. Nian Junting started dialing Nian Qingyuns number secretly beneath the table.


    He continued speaking to Jiang Qifei nonchntly, What are you going on about? My b*stard of a dad told us that you were the one who seduced him back then with your shyness. He didnt say anything about seducing you.


    He was the one who seduced me.


    Jiang Qifei seemed certain and started sobbing. I was so nave back then. Your Uncle Leng was like a block of wood, he wasnt sensitive to my feelings at all but your dad was offeringoffered warmth and told me that he would treat me well. He told me that his heart and mind was filled by me and that he would marry me. I was too attracted by his sweet-talking. Ive always recalled those moments with a lot of guilt but there is nothing I can do. The deed is done, my husband divorced me and my daughter has distanced herself from me. Yes, I did threaten Xu Luosang, but I just wanted to do something for Shuangwei as her mother. I just want her to be happy, youve never been a parent before, have you? Do you even know what Im talking about?


    Nian Xi thought that she might have been quite moved by what Jiang Qifei said if she hadnt talked about her dad so shamelessly.


    She nced over at Nian Juntings phone and she wondered if Nian Qingyun would be so furious that he had to be admitted to the hospital.


    Jiang Qifei was like his moonlight back then, kind and gentle. It was a rude awakening for him now to see what she was really like.

 Chapter 796. Jiang Qifei was Despairing

    Chapter 796. Jiang Qifei was Despairing


    Aunty Jiang, you cant say that, can you? It takes two to make a quarrel. You two both did it willingly.


    I only want you to understand that you cant me me for all the bad things that have happened. This is what Ive be, and Im living such an unhappy life. Im really already pathetic enough. Jiang Qifei wiped her tears and said, Im a poor person, I can ept that. But, my daughter has lost her right to be a mother. The Nian family has really hurt me and my daughter. If I had a second chance, I would never listen to Nian Qingyuns sweet words, nor would I let my daughter be with you.


    Nian Junting picked up his phone and said to it, Dad, you heard it. You lost your family over such a woman. You really have good taste.


    After saying that, he ended the call before Nian Qingyun could respond.


    Hearing Nian Juntings words, Jiang Qifei froze. She stared straight at his phone, lips trembling, without being able to say a word.


    You dont need to be nervous. What happened between you and my father is in the past, said Nian Junting, smiling coldly. Besides, youve already married. Youre not thinking about getting back together with my father, are you?


    Of course not. Jiang Qifeis face paled.


    She was so angry. Even though she had nothing to do with Nian Qingyun anymore, he was the most handsome and powerful one among all men that she had been with.


    She really wanted to marry him.


    Atst, she chose to marry Liao Qiulong, who was an old man. But she was reluctant. God knew how sick she felt every morning when she woke up to see his big, wrinkled belly. However, he was rich.


    But now, she had even lost a man like Liao Qiulong.


    She was really despairing.


    She couldnt ept the fact that she was living a worse life than what she had before.


    Aunty Jiang, think about it carefully. Dont think that you can fool us, Nian Xi nced at her watch and said, Shuangwei will be here soon.


    How can you tell Shuangwei about this?! Jiang Qifei panicked. She covered her face, lips quivering. I cant let her see me like this.


    Nian Xi frowned and said, If you really care about your daughter, you shouldnt do things like this. Last time, Shuangwei saved my grandma. She has just had a promotion. Have you ever thought that if what you did today caused a serious consequence, or if somebody leaked it to the media, you might ruin Shuangweis career? Youre over fifty. To be honest, as a mother, you are a failure. You imed that our family hurt you and your daughter, but in fact, we never hurt you. You hurt yourselves. You are too stubborn and reckless. Before you decide to do something, cant you think of your daughter?


    I did. I thought about it, and then I decided that I want Shuangwei to get back together with Junting, Jiang Qifei murmured.


    Nian Junting crossed his arms. He didnt even want to say a word to that woman.


    She was inexcusable.


    But still, Nian Xi wasnt willing to give up.


    Five minutester, Leng Shuangwei knocked on the door and came in. Her hair was short. She was wearing a ck t-shirt. Nian Xi and Nian Junting hadnt seen her in awhile. Her skin had turned darker than before, and a trace of heaviness or depression lined her sharp eyes.


    She was stunned when she saw Jiang Qifei.


    She couldnt believe her own eyes, as if it was the first time she had ever seen her mother.


    Jiang Qifei lowered her head. She wanted to bury her face in her hair.


    Nian Xi signaled for the other police officer in the room to leave, then told Leng Shuangwei what had happened with simple words.

 Chapter 797. The Man She Loved Was Going to be a Dad Soon

    Chapter 797. The Man She Loved Was Going to be a Dad Soon


    Shuangwei, do you remember Zhong Yi? I hope your mother doesnt be like her, she seems like shes going down the wrong path. Did you know, she pushed someone on the esctor today? Thankfully there was someone with Luosang. Imagine if a woman like her had fallen down, it could be devastating, she might even have lost her life. Luosang is pregnant as well, she could have lost the baby.


    Leng Shuangwei fell silent and continued to stare at Nian Junting. It was as if someone was cutting her heart up with a sharp knife. Hurt. The man she loved was going to be a dad soon. While she had just lost her chance of being a mother. Jiang Qifei waspletely stunned as well, she hadnt expected Luosang to be pregnant.


    When she regained herposure, she was angry and jealous. That b*tch, she has been scamming me this whole time. I should have pushed her with all my strength, Im going to make her infertile for the rest of her life.


    Nian Junting looked at her with a cold re. No one could curse his little princess.


    Mum, shut up, Leng Shuangwei spoke up first. Although she was jealous and envious, she never thought about causing harm to Luosang and her baby.


    Shuangwei, I am doing this for you. Jiang Qifei started sobbing again.


    Stop talking.


    Leng Shuangwei looked at Nian Junting, she knew his temperament well. Ma, this is your fault too. How could you threaten her to break up with the evidence that you got hold of? This concerns her fathers well-being, dont tell me that this is all for me. Do you think he will get together with me after you break them apart? Youre too nave.


    I could tell that you werent happy, Luosang doesnt deserve to be happy either. This is all because of he. Jiang Qifei started bawling sorrowfully. Shuangwei, look how beat up your mother looks. It hurts, it hurts everywhere.


    Leng Shuangwei closed her eyes. It was difficult for her even though she was strong. Since Jiang Qifei betrayed her father, she found her mothers actions despicable. But she was still her mother after all. No matter how lousy a person she was, she was still her mother. She couldnt ignore her cries for help.


    Ma, after you divorced dad, I told you to find a decent uncle to be with. Youve be someone elses secret lover without telling me anything. Only now, Im faced with the brutal fact that you are together with Uncle Liao. Hes someone who would betray even his wife and children, how decent a man do you think he is? How well do you know him? Be frank with me, youre only after his wealth, arent you? Youre nostalgic about what happened and thats why you went after Xu Luosang. Why cant you reflect on your greediness and your infidelity? You are the cause of your own state today.


    Jiang Qifeis cheeks were red and hot from embarrassment. She knew about shame and embarrassment; she didnt tell her daughter about it because she ashamed about herself.


    Shuangwei, you are my only daughter. Why cant you side with me? Look, my arm is broken, it hurts.


    Leng Shuangwei turned to Nian Xi with tears in her eyes, How long is my mom going to be in prison?


    Since nobody was seriously injured, she will just be charged with intent to injure. She will probably be locked up for two to three months to receive punitive education. Nian Xi turned to look at Nian Junting. Of course, if the victim wishes to pursue further legal action against her, such as suing her for intent to murder, she be penalized with a heavier sentence.


    Jiang Qifei was shocked, I didnt kill anyone, I dont want to go to jail.


    Nian Xi was bbergasted; why hadnt she thought about the consequences of her actions?

 Chapter 798. Junting, You Have to Help Me

    Chapter 798. Junting, You Have to Help Me


    Junting


    Leng Shuangwei looked at Nian Junting and said, Im not asking you to pretend it didnt happen. My mother did something wrong, and she will go to prison if she needs to. But, please dont sue her for murder. She is my mother. She is an awful person, but still, she is my mother. Please, dont do it. Just think of it as payback for me, for saving your grandma.


    She was too proud to mention that she had saved his grandma. After all, it was her duty to save people. Saying that out loud might seem like she was disgracing herself. But she had to mention it.


    Nian Junting raised his eyes coldly. He stared at Jiang Qifei for half a minute, then finally started talking.


    Alright, I wont sue her. But you have to promise me that from now on, your mother will stay as far away from us as possible, and that shell never show up and act like a crazy woman. To be honest, if my baby had died today, or if something bad had happened to Luosang, Id make her wish for death.


    He stood up, his face filled with anger and cruelty. Ill be honest with you. If you cant restrain your mother, disown her as soon as you can. Dont let her be your problem.


    Jiang Qifei looked at Leng Shuangwei with both fear and concern.


    Shuangwei, please dont abandon me. Youre all I have. If even you abandoned me, I think I would just die.


    She burst into tears again.


    I promise Ill never do anything like that again. It was a spur of the moment thing. I got angry when I saw Xu Luosang, but, I never wanted to hurt her.


    Leng Shuangwei smiled bitterly and said, I get it. Junting, Nian Xi, thank you both.


    Ill take off then, Nian Junting said and walked outside.


    Jiang Qifei made him sick.


    Shuangwei, I dont want to go to prison. Can I not go to prison? Jiang Qifei looked at Nian Xi and begged.


    Leng Shuangwei frowned and said, If youre afraid of going to prison, you shouldnt hurt people. Liao Qiulong hasnt shown up yet. I think you can give up on him now. Divorce him when youre released after serving your sentence, thene and live with me. Ill keep an eye on you, in case you hook up with some other guy.


    On his way back, Nian Junting got a call from Nian Qingyun, What was going on just now?


    Like what you heard? Nian Junting asked, sounding careless.


    On the other end of the phone, Nian Qingyun breathed heavily for a while, then said through clenched teeth, I was so blind.


    You finally realized that. Nian Junting snorted scornfully.


    Nian Qingyun was so angry that he nearly passed out. When he had heard what Jiang Qifei said through the phone, he trembled with anger.


    He regretted what he did so much that he couldnt even sleep sometimes.


    However, he had never med anyone but himself.


    But recently, Jiang Qifei renewed his thoughts over and over again.


    He didnt thoroughly realize how shameless that woman was until that day.


    I never seduced her, Nian Qingyun said, horrified. I never gave her any gift or promised to marry her.


    Alright, dont tell me about those shitty details. Nian Junting snapped.


    Nian Qingyun gave a long sigh, then said earnestly, Junting, you need to help me. I cant forget your mother. Dont you want us to be a happy family again like we used to be? I promise that Ill be so nice to her. I wont be like before.


    Like before? You cant be like before even if you want to, right? Youre so old. Can you still do that?

 Chapter 799. The Guy That Saved You Earlier Moved into the Apartment Next to Yours

    Chapter 799. The Guy That Saved You Earlier Moved into the Apartment Next to Yours


    The past? Im afraid its hard to go back to the past, youre so old now, are you able to? Nian Junting said casually, but it tore his fathers heart.


    Nian Qingyun was furious. Are you going to side with an outsider?


    Im sorry, I cant help you with this matter. Mother dragged out the divorce for the sake of Nian Xi and me. She finally freed herself from the shackles of your broken marriage, I cant bear to lock her down with chains again. What have you done for her to salvage that rtionship anyway? You havent been able to put aside your pride in all these years.


    Nian Junting said usingly, Also, do you take me for a fool? I know that you would have still thought that Mother was too absorbed in her work to show care and concern for the family if Jiang Qifeis true colors were not exposed. You always thought that she wasnt gentle, caring and docile enough as a wife. You werent even that sorry about what you had done, but now you finally regret your actions. You finally recognized the good in my mother so youre trying to win her back but youre not doing anything yourself.


    Nian Qingyuns face was red with embarrassment.


    She wouldnt talk to me every time I called her.


    If you are trying to win her back, you should try all sorts of methods. How much effort have you put into this? Not much, have you? Dont try to get me or Nian Xi to convince Mother. Anyway, Mother has found someone who treasures her, you shouldnt go bothering her anymore.


    Nian Junting hung up after saying his piece. On the other end of the line, Nian Qingyun was staring at his phone and all of a sudden he felt old.


    Back at the vi, Luosang was awake already. She hadnt gotten out of bed yet and was using her phone under the duvet. The doctor said that her baby might be affected and the back of her head was still sore. She didnt dare to climb out of bed yet.


    How is Jiang Qifei?


    She guessed that he must have gone to the hospital.


    Nian Junting sat by the bedside and talked as he watched her y her mobile game. Jiang Qifei has been sentenced to two weeks of reeducation. Leng Shuangwei said that she would keep an eye on her after she is released to make sure that she doesnt do anything foolish again. She shouldnt give us any more trouble from now on, she still cares a lot about her daughter.


    Luosang hummed to acknowledge him, Thats for the best then.


    Youre not upset? Nian Junting was relieved.


    He felt bad since he had eventually let her off easy on the ount of Leng Shuangwei.


    If you had put her in prison for a couple of years, it would be too harsh. Leng Shuangwei would feel ufortable as well, Luosang replied, her eyes still glued to the screen. Leng Shuangwei didnt have a choice over who her mother was. Back then when the whole country despised my father, I was also put on the spot. Too bad, its my father, he gave me the gift of life.


    Nian Junting stared at her for a while before snatching her phone away.


    Give that back! I havent finished this round yet; the team is waiting for me. Luosang reached out to grab her phone.


    Youre not well now, you should lie down and rest. Nian Junting threw the phone aside.


    He didnt get why girls nowadays were so absorbed with their mobile games.


    I just found out when I was at the police station earlier that the guy who saved you earlier moved into the apartment next to yours.


    Oh, Luosang answered casually.


    You knew about that? Nian Junting asked when she seemed unsurprised by the news.


    Su told me about it. Luosang shrugged, His ce was still under renovation.


    Nian Juntings face looked glum. You didnt tell me.


    Luosang bit her lip. I was afraid that you would be jealous.


    Are you worried that I wont let you stay at your apartment anymore? Nian Junting grinned, he could guess what she was thinking about.

 Chapter 800. His Welfare was Gone Again

    Chapter 800. His Welfare was Gone Again


    Yeah, youre treating me like a prisoner. Sometimes I really want to go out and get some fresh air, she thought.


    Of course not. Am I such a person? I need to stay in the apartment asionally. After all, I have a year left in school, she said.


    Nian Junting objected. How many sses will you have in the fourth year? Which fourth-year student wouldnt leave the school for an internship? Not to mention that youre in art school. Art school students will either find opportunities to start their careers, or focus on their art creation in the fourth year. Dont live in the apartment again. Just stay in the vi. If you need to go to school, the chauffeur will drive you there and then pick you up.


    Luosangs pretty face immediately wore a sad look.


    Be careful, Nian Junting warned her, In the police station, that boy told me that youll like him, and that youll move to his ce. He even said that hell take care of our child. He has a mental problem.


    Luosang was shocked.


    Luosang seemed not to take Nian Juntings words seriously, so after dinner, he invited her to watch a movie in the bedroom.


    Luosang was surprised, as he rarely offered to watch a movie with her.


    But soon, she found that she didnt like the movie he had chosen. In the movie, a man who was secretly in love with the main female character stalked her, even collected her underwear. That was so disgusting.


    Sitting beside her, Nian Junting added details, Its sick, twisted. But, I found it rather familiar. Why is this man so much like the boy that I saw earlier today?


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    She finally understood why he had invited her to watch that movie.


    Nian Junting shook his head and continued in a deep voice, Nowadays, there are too many unhealthy people. You need to be careful. Yan Su is rarely at home. If some man broke into your room in the middle of the night


    Stop it! Luosang started feeling very ufortable.


    She was pregnant, and she was supposed to maintain a good mood. Now, she was frightened by what he said.


    I dont want to watch this, she said and turned off the TV.


    Alright. This kind of movie is not good for the baby, Nian Juntingid down on his side, stroking her belly.


    Luosang rolled her eyes, saying, Why did you let me watch it then?


    I picked it at random, Nian Junting said innocently.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    While stroking her stomach, Nian Junting started feeling something else. However, the doctor said that they had to avoid sexual intercourse.


    He suddenly wanted to go back to the police station to hit Jiang Qifei.


    She didnt not only scare his little princess, but also took away his satisfaction.


    An City.


    Yi Jingxi spent four days in the hospital.


    His doctor discharged him on the fifth day. Chu Lei went downstairs for the discharge procedure. He received a phone call while folding his clothes.


    Seeing the number, he was a little surprised, because he hadnt contacted that person for a long time.


    Mr. Yi, about what you told me to look into. Theres a result, said the man on the other end of the phone. I managed to find some people who were Xu Zhengxuans students twenty years ago. They said that your mother was deeply favored by Xu Zhengxuan in the fourth year of university. Everywhere he went, he took her with him. They even showed up together in a few public projects.


    I have known all this for a long time. Is there anything else? Yi Jingxi said in a cold voice. That was not the information that he was looking for.


    Em, yes, that man paused briefly, then continued, Its said that during that period of time, Xu Zhengxuan was in a bad rtionship with Mo Jin. He often stayed out all night. Chu Lei brought supper to his office almost every single night.


    What else


    She never missed even one of his lessons. From the short films that she and Xu Zhengxuan shot together when they went out to do location scouts, I can tell that your mother liked Xu Zhengxuan.


    Ji Chuan, dont tell me that youve already transferred back to Xiao City.


    That is true, Feng Ji Chuan said with a deep voice. So many things happened in the past couple of months, while I wasnt around.


    Nian Junting was aware that he was talking about Leng Shuangwei, but didnt know how to respond.


    Lets have dinner together. Ive booked us a table, said Feng Ji Chuan, Lets celebrate that I finally got transferred back.


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a short while, then said, Ji Chuan, Im sorry. Luosang is in the risk of miscarriage these days


    Shes pregnant? Feng Ji Chuan was shocked, then started feeling ufortable. After all, Leng Shuangwei was unable to bear children, and not long after they had found that out, Luosang got pregnant.


    Yeah.


    Alright, its okay if you cante.


    Feng Ji Chuan ended the call.


    Nian Junting sighed slightly.


    He went upstairs. While walking out of the elevator, he saw Xiao Si chatting with his secretary. Seeing him, Xiao Si waved and said, Ji Chuan called me and invited me for dinner this morning. When will you be there? Ill


    Im not going, Nian Junting shook his head, interrupting.


    Why?


    Xiao Si was surprised, Its not because of Nian Xi, is it? Even though theyve broken up, you and him are still friends. Youve been friends for decades. You are army buddies too. Now, he finally got a transfer back. Its not right that you wont go to dinner.


    Nian Junting patted him on the shoulder, and signaled for him to talk in his office.


    They went into the office. Nian Junting swiftly shut the door, then said, Its not because of Nian Xi. Ji Chuan is certainly unhappy for what happened to Shuangwei. He might mention that at dinner. I guess hes not a fan of Luosang. I dont want him to feel ufortable.


    Were going to celebrate his return. If you didnt even show up for such an important thing, hed feel even more ufortable.


    Xiao Xi thought for a moment, then said, How about this. Youre not going for the dinner, but after dinner, well go for karaoke. You should at least show up for a little while then. Hes been out there in the army for over ten years. You need to be there, unless you dont want to be friends with him anymore. And seriously, if you dont show up, hed dislike Luosang even more deeply.

 Chapter 801. Jingxi, Come Save Me!

    Chapter 801. Jingxi, Come Save Me!


    Yi Jingxi gripped his phone and his fingers were trembling.


    The man asked over the line, Mr. Yi, are you still there?


    Why didnt you find out about this when I asked you to investigate back then? Yi Jingxis voice was low over the phone.


    Many of Xu Zhengxuans students from twenty years ago had left the country, either that or they have moved to other cities. The only people I managed to interview were the other professors that worked with Xu Zhengxuan then you had limited funds to investigate the matter too I flew over to Japan personally this time to talk to your mothers ssmate and the ssmate hooked me up with some other acquaintances as well


    Yi Jingxi hung up before he could finish. He walked around the ward like he was in a daze and suddenly smashed his phone against the wall. His phone cracked into pieces. One of the fragments hit one of Zeng Zhuns pant legs as he walked in.


    He was stunned but he was used to these scenes. It was normal for Yi Jingxi to lose his temper these days, his emotions were vtile and aggressive. He had already broken several handsets.


    Mr. Yi, you have yet to recover, you shouldnt get so agitated. Zeng Zhun picked up the phone pieces.


    Yi Jingxi was silent. He slowly stooped down and buried his handsome face into his knees and started pounding on his head. Zeng Zhun watched him as his shoulders trembled, he was shocked, he wasnt sure if he was seeing right. He had seen Yi Jingxi lose his temper countless times but this was different. Even his shadow reflected his desperation and agony.


    Wheres my mom? Where is Chu Lei? Yi Jingxi looked up abruptly, his eyes were bloodshot and his expression was contorted.


    Im not sure, I only just arrived. Zeng Zhun was taken aback by his gaze and backed away a little. She might be filling out the discharge forms just now.


    Yi Jingxi suddenly dashed out of the ward in a hurry.


    He ran to the registration counter but there was no one there so he had to run back to the ward. Only Zeng Zhun was there. Shes not back yet?


    Nope. Zeng Zhun shook his head.


    Yi Jingxi suddenly recalled Mo Jins warning that day and his heart sank. Ask around for Mo Jin the shareholders number.


    Zeng Zhun responded quickly and he called the office to obtain the number.


    Yi Jingxi dialed the number using Zeng Zhuns phone and Mo Jins light chuckle could be heard over the phone. You reacted pretty quickly, seems like you didnt be stupid after getting beaten up.


    Wheres my mother? Yi Jingxi asked in a low voice.


    Jingxi,e save me! Chu Leis screams could be heard over the phone.


    Be quiet, someone said menacingly.


    Auntie Mo, if you are looking to vent your anger somewhere, you cane after me. Yi Jingxi inhaled sharply, I dont care how many people you are going to hire to beat me up, Im willing to be beaten to death by you.


    So youre the one who beat my son up, Chu Lei screamed, You shoulde after me.


    Annoyed, Mo Jin said coldly, Shut up. She spoke into the phone again, Dont call me auntie, Im just chatting with your mother. I havent been back that long so were just catching up like old times. ying some tennis, your mother used to do that with Xu Zhengxuan a lot as well. Since hes in jail now, Ill apany her instead.


    Auntie, if you want to y tennis, tell me your address, allow me to apany you.


    Alright, your mother might be tired after a few games, I dont want to have to send her back. You shoulde alone; I dont like unnecessarypany.

 Chapter 802. He Never Loved Me

    Chapter 802. He Never Loved Me


    Okay.


    Getting the address, Yi Jingxi threw his phone to Zeng Zhun.


    Are you really going? Do you need me to call the police? Recalling how awfully he was injuredst time, Zeng Zhun said with concern, Maybe I should tell Luosang about this.


    Dont bother. Mo Jin hadnt talked to Luosang yet, meaning that he must have his own n, Yi Jingxi shook his head expressionlessly. Besides, she said that they were ying tennis, and she gave me the address. Shes either well prepared for something, or shes only trying to scare my mother. If shes going to attack me again, in the worst case, Ille back to the hospital.


    He paused briefly, thenughed bitterly. If that happens, the trial will be postponed again, and thatll be a good thing.


    Zeng Zhun replied with a serious look, Luosangs mother is really brutal. Luosang is nothing like her.


    Yi Jingxi stayed silent.


    He had asked around about Mo Jin before. She grew up in an orphanage, and she feared nothing.


    Her growth environment made her a tough person.


    In the sealed tennis court, Chu Lei was pushed to one side of the court.


    Mo Jin stood in front of her, holding a tennis racket with one hand, the other hand tossing a tennis ball. Her lips curved in a careless smile.


    Mo Jin, what do you want? Chu Lei was frightened.


    Mo Jin was only neen when she had Luosang. Now, she was only about forty. Her skin was well cared for. She and Chu Lei were about the same age, but Chu Lei looked much older. She was still the same as two years before, brave, as if she never feared anything.


    Unlike her, Chu Lei was scared. During the past twenty years, she was never happy.


    What do you think I want? What did you say to your son? Mo Jin tossed the tennis ball and swung the racket, sending the ball to Chu Lei.


    The swing was urate and fast, and the ball hit Chu Lei hard, making her scream in pain.


    Ms. Mo, your ball, her assistant quickly handed her another tennis ball.


    Seeing that, Chu Leis legs went limp. She hurriedly moved to leave, but before she crossed the line, someone pushed her back.


    Let me ask you something. Why did Yi Jingxi frame Xu Zhengxuan? Why did he hurt my daughter? Did you tell your son to do that?


    Mo Jin hit another ball at her.


    Chu Lei felt that those balls were as heavy as sandbags.


    Those balls hit her and bruised her skin.


    Mo Jin, youre not ying tennis. Youre attacking me. Ill call the police, Chu Lei couldnt help but cry in pain.


    Have you been living such a good life these years, that you cant even take this slight pain? Mo Jin sneered, Twenty years ago, because of you, I had no choice but to leave my hometown, leave China. Back then, I was pregnant. How much pain and bitterness have I suffered? I gave you an opportunity to be Mrs. Xu. You failed to take it, and then abetted your son to execute revenge on Luosang. Twenty years ago, you were scum. And today, youre even worse.


    The more she said, the angrier Mo Jin was. She picked up another ball and sent it to Chu Lei violently.


    This time, the ball hit Chu Lei in the forehead.


    A momentter, a corner of Chu Leis eye started bleeding.


    A sudden dizziness overpowered her, and made her sit on the ground.


    She put a hand to her face and touched sticky blood.


    Instantly, she burst into tears. You think I wanted all this? I never had one happy day all these years. You think Xu Zhengxuan ruined your life, but didnt he ruin mine too? You have no idea that he never loved me.

 Chapter 803. This Was the Lie That You Fed Your Son?

    Chapter 803. This Was the Lie That You Fed Your Son?


    Mo Jin was stunned but she was still smiling. Right, a beast like him loves himself the most. Why? He didnt want to take responsibility for you after ying with you? You have nothing toin about though, you had a child long before you were with him, Yi Jingxi is even older than Luosang.


    Xu Zhengxuan never touched me, never.


    Chu Lei turned tough. Half of her face was covered in blood, it was a gory sight. He always only loved you, Mo Jin.


    Mo Jins cold expression froze.


    Im serious. Chu Lei knew that Mo Jin might not believe her but she insisted, I was only a tool that he used to provoke you. Although he took me everywhere he went, he never once touched me. He wanted you to be jealous, he was calling out your name even when he was drunk.


    Impossible.


    Mo Jins mind was nk. She tried hard to recall the series of events in the past but it had been too long. Everything had blurred into one. All she remembered was that Xu Zhengxuan fell in love with someone else and betrayed her. It was so difficult to cope with the hurt back then.She wouldnt see her mother-inw and her husband. She had quit school at a young age to have a child. She would only go to bed at around three in the morning every day while her husband was flirting with a female student.


    What kind of life was she living then?


    Now Chu Lei was telling her that it might all have been a misunderstanding between the two of them?


    You dont have to lie to me just to get me to let you go, Im just ying tennis with you. Im not nning to do anything more, are you going to resort to lying?


    Im not. Chu Leis tears were mixed with her blood. Ever since you left, he was broken for a long while. He wouldnte to sses nor would he talk to me, he left me with another teacher for guidance


    Mum, are you telling the truth?


    The door to the tennis court flew open. Yi Jingxi walked in and his body was shaking, his eyes were bloodshot.


    Chu Lei was shocked to see him, a little scared as well. She fell on her bum when she tried to pick herself up. Jingxi, how did you arrive so quickly?


    Yeah, I was worried that something would happen to you. I sped all the way here.


    Yi Jingxi looked at her in disbelief, every step he took, he looked more lost and confused.


    Ma, didnt you tell me that Xu Zhuengxuan raped you? it was as if someone had gripped Yi Jingxi by his throat. He felt breathless and suffocated, he could only speak in a whisper as if someone was silencing him.


    Chu Leis face was as pale as a sheet. Her battered body was suddenly numb. She could only avoid his gaze.


    Didnt you tell me that Xu Zhengxuan forced you to do such things? You told me that that was the reason why you did those things, Yi Jingxi asked again. He was like a lost traveller on a lonely journey, he found it difficult to control his emotions.


    Chu Lei turned and looked down. Mo Jin looked at Yi Jingxi and looked at Chu Lei again, it made sense to her then.


    Mo Jin asked, Chu Lei, this was the lie that you fed your son?


    I dont know if you are telling me the truth or feeding me lies, but I know for a fact that you fancied Xu Zhengxuan back then. I only found out today that you already had a kid then, seems like you were married too.


    Chu Lei fell silent, her head on the ground.


    Her blood dripping to the ground.

 Chapter 804. He Lay on the Ground and Bawled

    Chapter 804. He Lay on the Ground and Bawled


    Blood ran down her face.


    She panicked, like someone who had done something wrong.


    Answer my question, Yi Jingxi yelled. She rushed over and dragged her up from the ground.


    Tears burst out of his eyes as he said, Have you been lying to me all this time?


    Im sorry, Jingxi, Chu Lei finally raised her head. She helplessly held his hands, organizing her words with difficulty. She started crying when the first word escaped her lips.


    Your father died. I was afraid that I might lose that, that you might hate me. So I lied to you.


    Chu Leis eyes showed panic, guilt and fear, Thats a lie. Back then, I only wanted to make up a small lie. I didnt know that youd care so much about your fathers death, that youd keep it in your mind, and that youd try everything you could to get revenge on Xu Zhengxuan. Ive talked to you. I tried to persuade you to give up, but you wouldnt listen to me. I have been so scared all these years. I didnt dare to see you. I lived in the nursing house alone. I was trying to atone for my crime. Jingxi, Im sorry, Im so sorry.


    So, Xu Zhengxuan never touched you, Yi Jingxi shook off her hands. He trembled, as if he had lost control of his own body. Thats only a small lie to you, but to me


    He pped his own chest, feeling waves of despair that drove him to the verge of copsing. You have destroyed me. My entire life is ruined by this so-called small lie of yours.


    He yelled.


    He made a step backward, then kneeled on the ground.


    He had spent his entire life seeking revenge.


    He framed Xu Zhengxuan, and got close to Luosang.


    She liked him, and he made use of that.


    He got close to her step by step, and also fell in love with her step by step. But still, he sent Xu Zhengxuan to prison, for the sake of revenge.


    They got engaged, and he buried the happiness he was holding in his hands.


    God knew how hard his heart ached when he had to hurt her. It was like piercing a knife into his own body.


    He hurt her, and also hurt himself.


    Once and once again, he hurt Luosang with lowly actions.


    He forced away the girl he loved over and over again.


    He sent her to another man.


    They fell in love, and they had a child.


    Hey on the ground and bawled.


    He lost the person that he loved the most. He was crippled with despair.


    Jingxi Chu Lei tried to touch his hand.


    Go away! Yi Jingxi pushed her away, stood up and said, I wont have a mother like you.


    Jingxi, dont leave me. Youre all I have, Chu Lei looked at him with despair.


    Yeah, Im all you have, but you watched me make more and more mistakes. How do you expect me to atone for it?


    Yi Jingxiughed and cried, If you had told me earlier, Id marry Sangsang, and wed have so many children. But now, I have nothing but my bad reputation. Im going to prison soon. Im going to prison. Now are you happy?


    After saying that, he turned, and shambled out.


    Chu Lei tried to follow him, but staggered after just a few steps, because she had lost so much blood.


    Mo Jin walked over, and said, Chu Lei, I dont know all the details, but I can guess some. You have really destroyed your son. He has no way back now. If you really want him to be good, just tell him to turn himself in. Dont let him repeat his mistake.


    This time, she didnt try to hurt Chu Lei.


    That woman was probably going to spend the rest of her life in regret.


    For that so-called small like, her daughter had suffered so much pain.


    Tianhu Vi.


    Nian Junting was having breakfast with Luosang. An Lan drove over, and said, Does Yi Jingxi have a problem? The courthouse learned that he has already been discharged from the hospital, so they tried to inform him to show up in court next week. But he didnt answer the calls.


    Nian Junting and Luosang nced at each other. Nian Junting said, The courthouse has summoned him, so he cant possibly run away. If he didnt show up for the trial, hed be considered admitting guilt.


    That would be the best. But he has spent tens of millions to hire Lawyer Can. He even sold his Yi Group shares for that. Thats really weird, An Lan frowned.


    The case was taking too much time. Although Nian Junting had paid An Lan a very high counsel fee, and she had be famous in thewyers world after the first trial, she still wanted the case to end as soon as possible.


    Is it possible that Lawyer Can failed toe up with a way to defend him, so he gave up? Luosang took a sip of milk. She really hoped that what she said could be true.


    An Lan shook his head and said, How can it be possible? Lawyer Cao will do anything to win. Allwyers know that.


    Hearing that, Luosang lost her appetite.


    Nian Junting turned, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and said, Look at you. The milk is all over your lips. Dont worry. Ill send my people to look for Yi Jingxi.


    In the parking lot of Shengting, Nian Junting unfastened his seatbelt. His phone suddenly rang.

 Chapter 805. The New Director of Luoxi Films

    Chapter 805. The New Director of Luoxi Films


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead, he pondered for a moment before nodding his head.


    Oh right, since youre not going for dinner tonight, you have to go for a film industry meeting in the afternoon. It willst until about six in the evening. I wasnt nning to go for dinner at first and was going to head straight to the KTV after the meeting with Jichuan. You can go for the meeting since you arent going to dinner, Xiao Si said.


    Nian Junting looked grumpy after hearing that. Are you pushing your work responsibilities onto me again? I remember that I put you in charge of matters rting to film and media.


    Isnt this for the sake of Sang entering the entertainment industry? You cant just wash your hands of this once she gets pregnant, Xiao Si smiled sheepishly. Look, I have been running around for the business thesest couple of days


    You only went to Shanghai and Beijing, Nian Junting looked at him with sarcasm, Because Ji Nuanyi was going to be there too.


    How is your progress with Ji Nuanyi? Nian Junting turned to sit on the sofa, Im about to be a father now. As someone who is about to be a dad, I feel sorry for you. I cant believe youre still single.


    Xiao Si red at him. Shes a workaholic, thepany did arrange for her to be at the meeting but she had projects that she was working on. She didnt turn up at all, too busy filming.


    She can do that?


    Xiao Si sighed. She told me that her goal was to win an Oscar within the next two years. Director Wen is filming an old society drama and she is participating in the project. Shes dressing as a viger and shees to the meetings in those set costumes as well. Frankly, she looks a little crazy, she said it was method acting and her breath smells of garlic.


    Nian Junting was turning on the leather chair, he looked sympathetically at him. I thought she was an idol, so the Oscars wouldnt notice her?


    I thought so too, I thought she was pretty decent amongst the younger actresses. I guess she wants to be known for her acting skills.


    All the best to you. Nian Junting could only offer his condolences.


    Before Xiao Si left, he said, Pay attention at the meeting today, the film and media industry is doing pretty well at the moment. There are many hot movies and television dramas. There are going to be a lot of directors, producers, and scriptwriters at the meeting today, they will be analyzing the data and presenting a projection of the industry growth. Most of the major filmpanies will be there as well.


    Ok.


    Around two in the afternoon, Nian Junting was on his way to Hu Zhuang. Hu Zhuang was an old town close to Xia City, its surroundings peaceful and serene. Several major film meetings were held there nowadays. Yuxi was only bought over by Nian Juntingst year, so it was his first time at such a meeting. There werent any celebrities or reporters at the event, Nian Junting signed on the guest list and walked into the venue.


    Mr. Nian, I didnt think you would make the trip down yourself today.


    The organizer, Mr. Chai, walked over to wee him.


    Mr. Xiao has some personal business to attend to, Nian Junting added.


    Please take a seat, youre in the first row. Mr. Chai showed him further in. There are quite a number of people here. The CEO of Chengxing, chairman of the Rongying Holdings board of directors and the new director of Luoxi films.


    Luoxi? Nian Junting looked over.


    Im referring to the Yi Group; they have just changed their name to Luoxi.


    Mr. Chai remarked, Yi Group was all the crazest year at this time, especially when the film resort and vi opened. There were over a dozen CEOs who went down to congratte their sess. Yi Jingxi has already lost hispetitive edge after only a short year, he cant even be considered top 10 anymore.


    Nian Junting listened to him nonchntly.

 Chapter 806. Why is This Boy Everywhere?

    Chapter 806. Why is This Boy Everywhere?


    Nian Junting listened disinterestedly.


    He walked to the first row and saw a woman in a ck dress talking to someone. She was wearing a pair of high heels and holding a wine ss. From the back, she looked very elegant.


    Ms. Morrison, excuse us, Mr. Nians seat is next to yours, Mr. Chai smiled and said to her.


    Hearing him, thedy turned around. She looked older than Nian Junting; her sunken eyes made her seem mixed-race. With a faint smile, she looked at Nian Junting from head to toe, Mr. Chai, this is


    Let me introduce Mr. Nian to you. He is the owner of Shengting. He has purchased Yuxi. Mr. Chai hurriedly introduced them to each other, This is Ms. Morrison, the chairwoman of Luoxi Films. Shes new in the film and television industry too.


    Mr. Nian, nice to meet you. Ive heard so much about you. Mo Jin reached out her hand and smiled faintly. I heard that Yi Jingxi sold hispany to me so urgently because youve thrown him into a desperate situation.


    But you didnt get it for a good price, did you? He had no good feelings about the woman in front of him. If it wasnt for her, he would have given Yi Group to Luosang as a gift, and thatpany wouldnt have be Luoxi Films.


    It was not cheap, indeed. But too many people want it. I could only raise the price a little, Mo Jin sighed.


    Nian Junting wasnt happy, so he didnt want to spend too much time chatting with her. tly, he said, Can you please step aside? I need to get in.


    Mo Jin raised her brows. Sensing the unhappiness that radiated from him, she said, The meeting hasnt started yet. Mr. Nian, you dont need to get to your seat in rush, do you? We can talk.


    Im sorry. Based on my knowledge about the film and movie industry, what youve been talking about is just superficial, said Nian Junting coldly.


    Mo Jin stayed silent.


    She was a little angry.


    Nian Junting was too arrogant.


    He was even more arrogant than her son.


    Yeah? Mo Jin swirled her wine ss and said, In this case, Mr. Nian, please share your knowledge with us. I just heard from Mr. Zheng that now was the time when the traditional film and movie works would collide with the inte-based works. Mr. Nian, how do you think we should look for new opportunities and new trends under the current circumstances?


    If I told you, Id be raising a strong enemy against our Yixi Films. I can understand it though. Ms. Morrison, as someone who sells iron and steel, you must feel a little confused as you havee to China to start your film business. Let me tell you something. Its not so easy to earn money in the film and television industry in China. Deadpanies are everywhere nowadays. After saying that, Nian Junting walked straight past Mo Jin. The path was too narrow, so their shoulders brushed against each other.


    Mo Jins wine ss shook slightly. She was so angry that her face paled.


    Mom, why did you argue with him? You can simply ask me about it. You dont need to ask him, Mo Liuxi walked over from the other side, wearing an army-green suit.


    Seeing him, Nian Juntings face turned green.


    Why was that boy everywhere?


    He really didnt expect him to be Morrisons son.


    But that annoying woman did have an annoying son.


    Her entire family was unpleasant.


    He tilted his head and asked Mr. Chai in an unfriendly tone, Can people bring their families to such a serious asion? As far as I know, that boy is still in college.


    Mr. Chai put his mouth near his ear and whispered, Mr. Nian, you might not know this. That was not just an ordinary boy. Earlier this year, a Hollywood film was released in China, called Medusa. That film earned over two-hundred billion on the first day. That boy was the scriptwriter of that film. Even though there were quite a few scriptwriters of that film. But ording to a reliable source, he created that blockbuster single-handedly. Hes young, so he used his tutors name. His tutor is master Wilson, recognized internationally.


    Hearing him, Nian Junting felt really confused.


    Medusa, Master Wilson, it was the first time he had heard about those.


    He never paid attention to the film industry.


    Before he started dating Luosang, he had never even entered a cinema.


    Mr. Chai carried on, He is young indeed, but the films that he has worked on have won big awards in France and the United States. Earlier, he was studying at La FEMIS college. This year, he came to Ximei as an exchange student. Normally, the students from La FEMIS college will go to Beijing Film Academy, especially good students like him. But this time, he came to Xia City. It might have something to do with the fact that his mother is working here. We made quite an effort to invite him here, to give a speech. About films, that boy has sharp eyes. He also has many creative ideas.


    Nian Junting pulled a sour face.


    He didnt expect that boy to have such a strong background.


    No wonder he was so arrogant.


    He actually wanted his woman too.


    However, he believed that no matter how good that boy was, he wouldnt possibly be able topare with a man like himself.


    Geniuses could be found everywhere, but only a very few of them were as perfect as he was.


    I dont know how has he been doing abroad, but currently, things are difficult in many ways in China, whether in terms of technology or environment, Nian Junting disagreed.


    Mr. Chai nodded and said, The film and movie industry abroad is more serious than in China. Theyll spend every penny for the right reason. Unlike us. Nowadays, were spending all the money on famous actors and actresses.


    Nian Junting pressed his lips together and fell silent.


    At that moment, Mo Liuxi walked to them and sat down next to Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting pulled a long face.


    Mo Liuxi even turned and gave him a proud smile, then said to Mr. Chai, It seems that Mr. Nian doesnt want me here. Should I leave?


    Hes not in charge here. Ignore him, Mo Jin had walked over as well. Just see him like a fly, which is flying across your face.


    I think youre right, Mo Liuxi nodded.


    Mr. Chai was almost crying. Liu Xi, Mr. Nian was joking. You are an important guest for the meeting. Were all anticipating your speech.


    Nian Junting stood up and said, Do we have other seats? This ce is so noisy.


    But you shouldnt sit back there


    Its okay.


    Mr. Chai didnt want the three of them to sit together either, so he hurriedly guided Nian Junting to the second row.


    Mo Liuxi and his mother stayed in the first row.


    Mo Liuxi turned and asked with a low voice, Mo, how do you like your future son-inw?


    Mo Jin frowned. She didnt want to smoke, but after hearing her sons question, she lowered her head and lit a cigarette with a frown. A whileter, she slowly gave a few words, He gave me an awful impression.


    He was proud, arrogant and impolite.


    I dont like him either, Mo Liuxi agreed.


    He wouldnt like any man who was with his sister.


    Mo Jin sighed and said, Dont me your sister though. She has poor taste in men, like me. That kind of thing runs in your blood.


    Mo Liuxi felt a little speechless.

 Chapter 807. Nian Xis Mind Was a Gutter

    Chapter 807. Nian Xi''s Mind Was a Gutter


    After ten minutes, the meeting began.


    The venue was filled with more than a hundred attendees. They were all people from the film and investment industry.


    Entrepreneurs of social media tforms and creators of video websites took to the stage to deliver their speeches, followed by a directors and producers from the film industry. The final speech was to be delivered by Mo Liuxi. Though young, his presence on stage ignited a flurry of discussion in the audience.


    Behind him, Nian Junting overheard a few seniordy CEOs talking about Mo Liuxi, Theds quite handsome. What a pity he didnt go into acting, he might have had quite a contract.


    Youre thinking too much. His mother owns a film studio, and theyre wealthy. Furthermore, hes a director. Why dont you bring him over to yourpany to write a film? Im sure itll sell well.


    Nian Junting started chuckling in amusement.


    A bunch of nave aunties, he thought to himself. When he was at that age, he was so good-looking that he made men and women salivate.


    Hello everyone. My name is Mo Liuxi.


    His polite and pleasant, yet alienated voice resonated from all four corners of the hall. His voice betrayed a hint of hoarseness which spoke of a boy who had just grown into a man. His attractiveness was almost maic.


    Nian Junting was stunned.


    The person sitting beside him asked, What did he say his name was?


    Mo.


    Nian Junting looked down at his phone and sent Nian Xi a text, Thisd on stage, he said his name was Liuxi?


    Nian Xi replied, Yes, why? Are you thinking of searching for him?


    Nian Junting replied, Shut up. Thisds surname isnt Liu, its Mo. Didnt you check his identity?


    Nian Xi replied, He said he didnt have it with him. He looked upright and dashing. Who was I to doubt him? I couldnt have made him return home to get it. But why would he hide his identity? Does he have a criminal past?


    Nian Junting mulled in deep thought. Yes, why hide his true identity? Mo was there something special about this surname?


    Yes, Luosangs mothers surname was Mo as well, and Luosang also had a younger brother; he should be as old as Mo Liuxi.


    Previously, Zeng Zhun had also mentioned something about his origins


    Could it be


    No, no, that was impossible. It must be a coincidence. Moreover, he had also offended Morrison earlier.


    Nian Junting scrutinized Mo Liuxis face carefully. He had not noticed earlier, but after some time, he seemed to recognize a few simrities between his features and Luosangs.


    Especially his eyes.


    It was a pity that he did not scrutinize Morrisons face earlier.


    To Nian Junting, apart from Luosang, all women could be categorized in three groups, the ugly, the average, and the beautiful. As for Morrison, he really could not recall her features. Now that he was sitting behind her, he could only see the back of her head.


    Nian Junting snapped a picture of Mo Liuxi and sent it to Nian Xi. Do you think he looks like your sister-inw?


    Nian Xi replied, Now that you mention it, he does indeed. My goodness. Brother, dont tell me youre feeling things after looking at his face.


    Nian Junting, .


    After all, Luosang cant satisfy you now. Thats why youre letting your mind wander


    Nian Juntings face momentarily looked as if he had just stepped in dog feces.


    Nian Xis mind was a gutter, he thought. He ignored her and turned his attention to Mo Liuxis speech.


    Mo Liuxi was daring indeed. All the other speakers had scripts, but he stood on stage with empty hands. Moreover, his speech was filled with snide criticism and condemnation of the countrys television, movies, ys, directors and artists.


    Nian Junting looked around at the faces of some of the directors in the audience. They looked extremely grouchy.


    However, Mo Liuxi had many valid viewpoints.

 Chapter 808. He Offended His Future Mother-in-Law and Brother-in-Law Before He Married Luosang…

    Chapter 808. He Offended His Future Mother-in-Law and Brother-in-Law Before He Married Luosang��


    The current film and movie market was unprofessional indeed. Anyone could be an actor.


    Mo Liuxi spent over twenty minutes on the stage criticizing the market, then ended his speech with, Ive said what I should say. Thats what Ive seen and heard and thought when I worked in the movie and film industry abroad. You can do what I suggest, or you can not. Thats your decision to make. Im not running a filmpany, and Im not investing in any film either.


    Finished, he walked off the stage in an elegant manner.


    Then, thunderous apuse was heard.


    The meeting was over.


    Nian Junting stood up. Once he moved a foot, he saw arge group of people move toward Mo Liuxi and his mother, and surrounded them immediately.


    He was nning to have a short conversation with Morrison, but now, he had to give up.


    He stood some distance away, watching them, carefully observing Morrisons face. The longer he watched, the quicker his heart beat.


    She looked quite simr to Luosang.


    With a heavy heart, he walked outside.


    Lu Kang drove the car over. Seeing the sour look on Nian Juntings face, he felt heavy-hearted too. Mr. Nian, hows the meeting? He said.


    Good, Nian Junting said woodenly.


    Why are you so unhappy then? Lu Kang wondered.


    Lu Kang, do a background check on two people for me, as soon as possible, said Nian Junting.


    Who?


    Morrison and Mo Liuxi from Luoxi Films.


    Lu Kang paused briefly.


    I think Morrison might be Luosangs mother, Nian Junting said, Mo Liuxi might be her brother.


    Lu Kangs mouth dropped open in shock.


    Mr. Nian, you cant think that shes Miss Xus mother only because herst name included Mo. Lu Kang said.


    Its too coincidental. Nian Junting responded with a few simple words.


    Morrison showed up suddenly, bought Yi Group, and Mo Liuxi lived next door to Luosang.


    And, Morrison looks a little simr to Luosang, Nian Junting said. She purchased Yi Group and changed the name of thatpany into Luoxi. Maybe thats abination of her son and daughters names. Luo, Xi.


    Lu Kang was enlightened. That sounds possible. It would be great news. If Morrison is really Miss. Xus mother, Miss. Xus family background will be considered so much better than before. Morrison family from Luxembourg is one of the top 100panies in the world. In this case, youll never need to worry that your grandpa might be opposed to your marriage. After all, he values family background the most.


    I hope shes not, Nian Junting said a whileter.


    Why? Lu Kang didnt understand. Dont you want Miss. Xu to reunite with her mother?


    Its not like that, Nian Junting rubbed his forehead. Just now, I identally offended Morrison.


    Lu Kang was speechless.


    Alright, Mr. Nian, you dont need to use identally. Its really normal for you to offend other people. But, if Morrison really is Luosangs mother In that case, you have already offended your future mother-inw and brother-inw


    Why do I feel so good about it? Lu Kang thought. You shouldnt be so sharp-tongued. You deserve it.


    Huzhuang was an hours drive from Xia City, an hour and a half away from the karaoke club that Ji Chuan had mentioned.


    Nian Junting and Lu Kang had a quick dinner at a restaurant on their way back.


    About eight in the evening, he got a phone call from Luosang. Have you arrived at Xia City safely? She asked.


    Yeah.


    He feltfortable, as she had started to call him when he didnte home, and worry about him while he was driving at night. Ill be home in an hour.


    Ah, its okay. You can y longer.


    Nian Junting had moved a leg. Hearing her words, he paused and asked, Leng Shuangwei might be here tonight. Arent you worried or jealous at all?

 Chapter 809. His Weakness Was His Little Tingting

    Chapter 809. His Weakness Was His Little Tingting


    Luosang snorted and said, Im already pregnant with your child. What am I to be jealous of?


    Nian Junting was displeased. I should be saying youre pregnant and cant satisfy my needs. Be careful. I might not want you anymore.


    Woah, what a thing to say.


    Luosangughed. Sure. Can your little Tingting even stand erected for anyone else?


    Probably not, right? Luosang answered her own question haughtily. If not, then stop being so cocky. Us women are unlike you. These things are irrelevant to us.


    Finishing her sentence, she hung up.


    Nian Junting stared at his phone, surprised. It usually took him a while to be frustrated, but his Luo had now be shameless and arrogant.


    His weakness was his little Tingting.


    When he reached the private dining room, Feng Ji Chuan and the others were already there.


    They were his former buddies in the army. The Feng family rtives were also there. Xiao Si, the extroverted person that he was, was engaging in a game of dice with the Feng family.


    As he walked in, Feng Ji Chuan waved at him while singing.


    You just came back. Nian Junting quickly brought over a table and two pints of beer. Come. Heres to you. Cheers to your return.


    And I thought that you wouldnt make it here. Feng Ji Chuan chuckled.


    Ji Chuan, like you said, many things have happened, and I dont really want to hear about Shuangwei from you. I understand that youre on good terms with her, Nian Junting said. But Luosang will soon be my wife.


    Feng Ji Chuan was frustrated, but he was not dumb. Nian Junting was unwilling toe before. Now that he was here, he was afraid that he would chase him away if he said anything more.


    Furthermore, Leng Shuangwei had not said much about this. Even if he wanted to speak for her, it would be pointless.


    He gulped the beer that Nian Junting brought over and asked, How has Nian Xi been?


    Still the same. Nian Junting ced his beer down. Where have you been transferred to? Near my father?


    No, Feng Ji Chuan shook his head. Ive been transferred to the public security bureau.


    Nian Junting was stunned. I thought you were busy with the military in the new year, and also with the Chief of Staff.


    I thought about it for a while. I still feel the public security bureau is a better ce for me, Feng Jichuan said. Im special forces. I still prefer leading the frontline. Dealing with troops andmanding forces is not really my thing. Furthermore, Nian Xi


    Nian Junting immediately understood.


    In the three of four months that Feng Ji Chuan had been away, Murong Cheng kept rmending suitors for Nian Xi to meet and date, but she was never interested in any of them.


    Everyone knew Nian Xi had not forgotten about Ji Chuan.


    Its fate.


    He did not have anything more to say about love. He patted him on the shoulder and sat down next to Xiao Si. Why didnt Shuangweie?


    Xiao Si, during his game, shot him a look. She left after dinner. Her mothers incarcerated; do you expect her to have the mood to y?


    Nian Junting did not ask anything further.


    Soon, his army buddies came over with bottles of wine and beer.


    Back in those days with the squad, there were very few who did not drink. They drank like old times and reminisced about the old days.


    Without Leng Shuangwei around, Nian Junting felt more rxed.


    He had nned to stay for only an hour, but he ended up staying till 10:00 pm. One of his buddies got off the phone with his daughter and said, I have to go. My daughters crying for me at home and wont go to bed till I get there.


    In the past, Nian Junting could only be envious, but now he quickly stood up and said, Me too. I have to go back since my wife is pregnant with our daughter. She keeps kicking and doing somersaults in my wifes stomach; shes relentless.


    Everyone was stunned. Army buddy A said, When did you get married? Why didnt you send us invitations? How unkind. You dont even see us as true brothers.


    We arent married yet. Were nning to do so in half a year. Nian Junting had drunk quite a bit and was easily excited. Ill invite you all when the timees.


    Well hold you to it.


    Army buddy B was only about thirty percent drunk and was able to think clearly. Then your wife must have been pregnant for at least six or seven months by now for your child to be able to do somersaults; how amazing.


    Nian Junting mumbled, It is quite amazing.


    By now, Xiao Si wasughing so hard that his stomach hurt.


    Nian Junting had quite an imagination. A baby doing somersaults at three months of pregnancy. It must be unprecedented indeed.


    Army buddy C stood up as well. I have to go too. My wife just called, and she sounds angry.


    Feng Ji Chuan pulled him back. Isnt your wife overseas?


    She can still call from overseas. You all arent married, you dont understand.


    Yeah, all you unmarried and single people wont understand. Nian Junting piped in from the side and patted Xiao Si on the shoulder mncholically. Lets go.


    Xiao Si rolled his eyes. Nian Juntings words were dripping with spite.


    After a while, almost two-thirds of the people in the room had left.


    Xiao Si and Feng Ji Chuan sat face to face.


    After a while, Xiao Si patted Feng Ji Chuan on the shoulder. You must be d that you didnt marry Nian Xi at the beginning of this year.


    Scram.


    Feng Ji Chuan shook off his hand coldly.


    Nian Junting was on his way home.


    The alcohol had just taken effect. After dozing in and out of sleep, he was awakened by Lu Kang.


    Opening his eyes, he realized that he was home. Lu Kang stood on the side and said, Mr. Nian, will you be alright? Do you want me to bring you in?


    If Im not alright, would my woman be pregnant? Nian Junting sat up, his eyes hazy but his consciousness mostly preserved. Still better than you. You didnt even have the chance to get anyone pregnant.


    Lu Kang,


    Had he offended him? Nian Junting got out of the car haughtily and entered the house.


    It was already past 11:00 p.m., and Luosang had just gotten into bed but had not fallen asleep. Hearing the sound of the door opening slowly, she knew that Nian Junting was back. He fumbled about in the dark, not daring to turn on the lights.


    In the dark, he tripped and fell to the wooden floor with a loud crash. Luosang sat up quickly. She switched on the light and saw him sprawled on the floor like a bear.


    Now that the lights were on, Nian Junting tried to get up, but he had one too many drinks and his legs felt weak. It took him a while to get to his feet. His face was flushed as he said, Its too dark. I couldnt see. Did I wake you up?


    How much did you drink? Luosang was quite amused at the situation. His disheveled look made her want tough.


    It must have been about ten bottles of beer, and a few bottles of whiskey. There were so many old friends today and we havent seen each other in a while. Nian Junting rubbed his face where he had fallen. It hurt.


    Luosang took in a deep breath; he reeked of alcohol.


    However, he rarely went out to drink, so it must have been really fun with his buddies tonight.


    Lie down and Ill fetch you a towel, Luosang said as she got up.

 Chapter 810. He Would Become a Useless Man to Her, Except for in Bed

    Chapter 810. He Would Be a Useless Man to Her, Except for in Bed


    Dont, dont move. Nian Junting hurriedly stopped her and said, The doctor said you need to rest. Ill do it myself.


    Dont fall again, Luosang reminded him.


    I wont. Ill turn the light on.


    Nian Junting took a cold shower in the bathroom. When he came out, he felt sober. He put an arm around Luosang and murmured, Before, every time I got together with my army friends, some of them would leave early, saying that they needed to go home to spend time with their wives and kids. Today, it was finally my turn to show off. Everybody was jealous of me.


    Luosang wanted tough. What was there to be jealous of? She turned her face and saw that Nian Junting had closed his eyes, his face filled with a satisfied smile. His hand lingered on her lower belly. She was content with what she had. But in a couple of minutes, that changed. Nian Junting snored every time he was drunk.


    As she moved slightly, Nian Junting murmured with a gentle voice, Good baby, dont move. You cant turn somersaults yet.


    Luosang was speechless. At first she thought he was calling her baby.


    Next morning, Nian Junting woke up to see Luosangs unhappy face.


    Mr. Nian, you snored loudlyst night.


    The smile which had just emerged on Nian Juntings face froze immediately.


    Before, Luosang hadined that he snored when he was drunk. He always denied that. This time, as she used him of it again, he couldnt keep pretending that it didnt happen.


    I get it. You dont like me drinking, do you? Youre trying to make me give up on drinking. Dont worry, I wont drink again, he said.


    A couple of secondster, he calmly sat up from the bed. Luosang felt speechless. It seemed that he wouldnt admit snoring, no matter what.


    Oh, have you watched the film Medusa? What do you think about it? Nian Junting abruptly asked.


    Luosang paused briefly. She thought that he was trying to distract her. I have. Its popr. I think its the film with the highest box office takings this year.


    Who did you watch that film with? Hearing that, Nian Junting immediately became a little unhappy.


    Yan Su. Why did you suddenly mention that film? Luosang was a little confused.


    Hmm, I heard people talking about it yesterday when I was at Huzhuang for the meeting.


    Luosang couldnt stop praising the film. Its worth watching indeed. It was about 140 minutes long, but the plot ispact. Its actually not slow at all.


    Nian Junting nced at her and pulled a long face.


    During breakfast, he asked casually, Sangsang, would you break up with me if your family didnt like me?


    Why suddenly ask that kind of question? Luosang didnt understand.


    Im just checking. Im a little bored.


    You didnt give up on me when your family didnt like me, so Id do the same for you, Luosang took a bite of the poached egg, then responded smilingly.


    Nian Juntings eyes instantly glowed.


    Since Luosang had given her word, he didnt need to worry that he might have offended his future mother-inw anymore.


    But Junting, are you really going to work with a face like that? Luosang couldnt help but remind him.


    Nian Junting paused in confusion. Luosang kindly opened the front-facing camera on her phone to let him see himself. There was a bruise on one side of his cheek. He must have fallen to the groundst night. That bruise would totally spoil his handsome image.


    A whileter, he raised his head and said to her helplessly, Give me some foundation.


    Luosangs foundation didnt have a very strong concealing function.


    After breakfast, Lu Kang drove to the vi to pick Nian Junting up. Seeing Nian Juntings face, he spotted the bruise. Mr. Nian, what happened to your face? Did you get drunk and fallst night?


    Do I look like someone who would do something so stupid? Its all Sangsangs fault. Last night, she was unhappy because I came home toote. She lost her temper and hurt my face with her head. Nian Junting nced at Lu Kang, then got into the car.


    Lu Kang stayed silent. He didnt really believe Nian Junting.


    Youre so thick-skinned and Miss. Xu is a pregnantdy. Did she really have the courage to bump her head against your face? said Lu Kang silently.


    After Nian Junting got into the car, Lu Kang handed him a stack of files and said, These are the files about Morrison that you asked for.


    So soon? Nian Junting raised his brows. Good, you have improved.


    Lu Kang gave a fake smile and replied, Earlier, you wanted to buy out Yi Group, but Morrison got it first. I figured that you might be unhappy about it and that youd probably tell me to dig out her background. So I did some research in advance.


    Nian Junting lowered his head and opened the file.


    The file wasnt thick.


    ording to the file, she had returned to the Morrison Family five years ago. Her father was Mr. Morrisons third son. She wasnt working in the iron and steel business of her family but often went to the pr regions to film documentaries. Three years ago, she had been caught in an avnche in Antarctica. The rescue team took two days to rescue her. But still, she was severely injured and had to stay in hospital for six months.


    Before that, no history of hers could be found. Mo Liuxi was the same as his mother. Nian Junting read the file carefully. Earlier, he was 20% sure that Morrison was Luosangs mother. And now, that number went up to 25. Three years ago, Luosangs brother went to An City to look for her. After that, nothing was heard about him. Perhaps it was because his mother had an ident at that time. Also, Mo Jin seemed to have been majorly involved in something rted to directing before.


    Theres another thing, said Lu Kang. Earlier, Yi Jingxi was injured, and it might have been something to do with Morrison too. I heard that on that day, they left the Industrial and Commercial Bureau together for dinner and after that, Yi Jingxi was sent to the hospital, seriously injured. Weirdly, he didnt call the police.


    Nian Junting closed the file.


    Lu Kang continued, I also heard that the day Yi Jingxi was discharged from the hospital, his mother went to the hospital to have wounds dressed. No one knew how she had been injured. She didnt call the police either. After that, Yi Jingxi went missing.


    Nian Junting stayed silent.


    Lu Kang quietly nced at him in the rear mirror, then continued, Mr. Nian, if she was really Miss Xus mother She seems to be very hard to deal with and pretty violent.


    Tell me about it.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead with a sulky face. She did all that I wanted to do.


    She punched Yi Jingxi and pped Chu Lei.


    He was nning to torture Yi Jingxi brutally after he got Xu Zhengxuan out of prison.


    But now, someone had done that already.


    In the future, when her mother found her, Luosang would be a rich girl. She would have everything she wanted and more money than she could ever need. She would be even richer than him.


    In that case, he would be a useless man to her, except for in bed.


    However, if shes really Miss. Xus mother, she should have talked to Miss. Xu long ago. Lu Kang didnt understand that. Also, why did Mo Liuxi move next door to Miss. Xu?


    Theyre trying to find out what kind of man I am That was the only exnation that Nian Junting coulde up with.


    Lu Kang didnt respond.


    Nian Junting put a hand on his forehead and continued, I dont even remember what I have said in front of them.


    Lu Kang stayed silent.


    It was definitely something mean, proud and impolite, he thought.


    Its okay, Mr. Nian. Youll be such a wonderful son-inw. Im sure that Morrison will like you, Lu Kangplimented Nian Junting despite his true feelings.

 Chapter 811. Only Then, Would Luo Continue to Admire Him

    Chapter 811. Only Then, Would Luo Continue to Admire Him


    Is that so? Nian Junting mulled over it for a moment. Youre absolutely right.


    He was only speaking casually. Mr. Nian, dont take me seriously. Lu Kang thought.


    Mr. Nian, what will you do next?


    Ill act innocent of course, then sneakily pretend to be humble, gentle and refined in front of my mother-inw-to-be. Nian Junting shot him a look. Quickly gather Mo Jins itinerary for me.


    What about Mo Liuxi?


    No need. How annoying.


    Lu Kang was speechless. Why?


    Luosang mentioned that if she found her brother, she would dote on him excessively. Wouldnt that put me in second ce? Nian Junting was troubled.


    He did not expect Luosangs brother to be this capable and talented. Why wasnt he ugly at least?


    Quickly return to the office. I must work hard to earn lots of money, then I can be worthy of Luosangs status and let my mother-inw know that Im a clever and intelligent man, unrivalled in society.


    Nian Junting let out a huge sigh.


    Lu Kang heaved a sigh. Ever since his boss had fallen in love, it had taken a while for him to behave normally again, but today, he seemed to not be in his right mind again.


    Xiao Si got up early and rushed to work.


    After returning home from singing with Feng Ji Chuan, he had initially intended to stay at home instead of going to work. However, recently Nian Junting had loosened his grip on things, so he had no choice but to discipline himself and get up early for work.


    After working for a while, his secretary came over and began shifting away all the documents on his desk.


    Whats going on?


    Mr. Nian says that he wants to handle all these cases himself, the secretary said nonchntly. Mr. Si, youve been emancipated. You can go fishing again.


    Who in his right mind goes fishing on such a hot day? Crazy.


    Xiao Si kicked open the door of Nian Juntings office and stormed in. Youre ying games with me. One moment youre giving me all the work, and the next youre taking it all away.


    Nian Juntings gaze lifted from hisputer screen and he crossed his arms. He spoke solemnly, Ive thought about it. If thepany is to earn money and be one of the top fifty in the world, its going to be on me. Half a year has passed; we can hustle and earn thirty billion before the end of the year.


    Xiao Si looked at him incredulously, as if he were looking at someone with a psychiatric problem.


    Top fifty. You must have a problem. Xiao Si looked at Lu Kang.


    Lu Kang smirked as he looked out of the window.


    If we rely on you, we will have a problem, but it wont be a problem with me, Nian Junting said inly. Go on out, and dont disturb my work.


    The Morrison familys estate was in the global top hundred. As their son-inw, he had to get to the top fifty.


    Only then, would Luo continue to admire him.


    And when they eventually got married, Mo Jin would ever so gratefully entrust Luosang to him and say, Sang is so fortunate to have found you in her lifetime, Junting. Youre so outstanding.


    Xu Zhengxuan would say, Son-inw, youre one in hundreds of millions. Youre perfect.


    Nian Juntings lips curled into a smile. He was confident.


    7:00 p.m.


    Nian Junting emerged from the Maybach in his suit. Lu Kang looked at him from inside the car. Mr. Nian, are you alright? Will Mo Jin really not suspect a thing?


    My acting is so good that even Luosang falls for it. Nian Junting shot him a look, before stepping onto the tform.


    Lu Kang looked at his haughty silhouette, secretly wishing that hed slip and fall.


    Entering the g, Nian Junting quickly noticed Mo Jin talking to the guests in the crowd. He only came after Lu Kang had found out his schedule.


    Tonight, he had to clear up all misunderstandings which Mo Jin had of himself.

 Chapter 812. She Was Mo Jin for Sure

    Chapter 812. She Was Mo Jin for Sure


    He intended to walk over to her, but someone stopped him on his way, mentioning all kinds of things about fundraising.


    The person was a respected man so Nian Junting responded to him absent-mindedly with his eyes fixed on Mo Jin. Seeing Mo Jin walking to the buffet table, he hurriedly said excuse me to the man and walked quickly over to her.


    Near the buffet table, he asked the waiter for two to-go boxes then put them on his dish. Next, he put his phone between his ear and shoulder, then walked to Mo Jin.


    Mo Jin was about to pick up a Canadian scallop but before she reached to it, food tongs reached over sideways and took away the scallop.


    She turned and found Nian Junting standing by her side holding a dish with one hand. On his dish were two to-go boxes, one for desserts, one for snacks. While getting food, he was also talking on the phone, Luo, I got you a scallop. What else do you want? Up to me? Alright, Ill get you a little of everything Wait for me. Ill be home soon.


    He put the tongs on the table, then put the phone back into his trouser pocket. After that, he turned, looked at Mo Jin and said, Ms. Morrison, what a small world.


    Mo Jin raised her eyebrows, looked at the food in his dish and stayed silent. Nian Junting carefully observed her eyes and face. He licked his tongue silently. He hadnt paid too much attention to her face yesterday but today, as he looked closely, he found that she looked a lot like Luosang. He should have noticed it earlier.


    Im sorry for taking your scallop. My girlfriend loves them too, he said.


    Are you guys living together? Mo Jin asked.


    Yeah. Nian Junting picked up the tongs and continued taking food. Meanwhile he said, She didnt have a mother and her father isnt with her. She was out there all alone. I was really worried about her. Last time, she was suddenly ill with a fever and her roommate wasnt in the city. No one was there to take care of her. So this summer vacation, I asked her to move in with me.


    Hearing him mention that Luosang was once ill, Mo Jin felt heartache. Without her, Luosang must have suffered a lot of pain and bitterness.


    Detecting the upset look which clearly showed in her eyes, Nian Junting now firmly believed that she was Luosangs mother. Taking too much might get her suspicious, so he started picking a dessert.


    I dont think were allowed to take the food away, Mo Jin reminded him.


    At a formal dinner party like this, most of the guests would follow the rules.


    All the people who were invited to this kind of ce were rich and high-status. They would rarely pack the food and take it away.


    I know, but my girlfriend really has a good appetite. Later, Ill tell the host of the party about this. Hes a friend of mine, Nian Junting said while packing food. She can finish four boxes of food like these easily.


    Mo Jin didnt respond. She had a good appetite herself, but she was still surprised by how much her daughter could eat.


    Previously, something bad happened in her family. For a whole year, she could only afford tofu and cabbages. So after that, her appetite got better and better.


    Nian Junting sighed, When I learned about her past, I swore that Id give her all the best food in the world.


    Tofu and cabbages


    Mo Jin felt sadder and sadder.


    Mr. Nian, since you care so much about your girlfriend, I guess youll get married very soon, right?


    Of course. We were going to marry earlier this year, but we had to postpone because of her father. I really want to marry her right now. Nian Junting sighed. In fact, Luoxi originally belonged to my girlfriends family. I was going to buy it out and then give it to her as our wedding gift. However, you got it first. For that reason, I had a bad attitude towards you. Ms. Morrison, I wonder if you would be willing to sell thepany to me? You can name the price.


    Would you even pay twenty billion for it? Mo Jin asked.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment with a frown, then nodded and said, Even though Luoxi isnt worth that price now, I can raise its market value to twenty billion in two years.


    Mr. Nian, you are very confident. Mo Jin gave a faint smile. Then said, But in a not-so-good way, youre arrogant.


    You can call people incapable, but for me Im just confident, Nian Junting wore a proud look.


    Mo Jin shook her head with a smile and said, Anyone with your family background will have the courage to be as reckless as you.


    You are wrong. I earned what I have all by myself, Nian Junting said carelessly. Besides, Im afraid that the Zhong Zhou group is going to have a big problem in five years unless they adjust their management mode.


    A gentle voice was heard from the side. Junting, its inappropriate for you to say bad things about your mothers management mode behind her back, isnt it?


    Nian Junting turned that way and saw Nian Qingshan walk over, wearing a good suit and holding a ss of wine. He was over fifty years old but he still always looked outstandingly handsome in a crowd.


    However, Nian Junting wasnt happy to see him in the current situation.


    Uncle, youre here too, he said.


    Yeah. How longs it been since youst returned to the Nian Family? Nian Qingshan used him. Your grandmother mentions your name every single day. What about you? You only visit them once a month. Your grandpa is very angry. He said that you do nothing but spend time with Xu Luosang. He likes her less and less. He even said that hell never allow her to be a member of the Nian Family.


    Nian Juntings face turned dark. He couldnt help but nce at Mo Jin and found her pulling a long face. Was his uncle here to ruin his n?


    Uncle, please tell Grandpa that I have already decided to marry Luosang. If he disagrees, Id choose Luosang over the Nian Family. I have plenty of properties anyway. Also, since he dislikes Luosang so much, Ill just celebrate my thirtieth birthday with my grandparents on my moms side. They like Luosang very much.


    How can you do that? Nan Qingshan red at him and said, Your grandma has prepared a gift for you. Are you going to break her heart?


    Uncle, Im really busy here. Im getting food for my Sangsang. Leave me alone, Nian Junting said, then turned and carefully picked more food.


    Nian Qingshan clicked his tongue and said, Whats so good about Xu Luosang? Look at you. You havent married her yet but youve already be like a ve to her.


    Nian Junting responded quickly, Everything about her is good. She has a great personality, a pretty face, a good body, shes good at cooking. Even her hair is perfect. I even like her blood type and star sign.


    The expression on Mo Jins face turned slightly better.


    Mr. Nian, excuse me. Have a good talk with your uncle. After saying that, she turned and left.


    Whos that? Nian Qingshan looked at her back and asked.


    Nian Junting was very unhappy. He had prepared a long speech to show Mo Jin his outstanding business knowledge, yet Nian Qingshan suddenly showed up and interrupted him.


    Uncle, didnt I tell you to leave me alone? He said in an unfriendly tone, then started ignoring Nian Qingshan.

 Chapter 813. How Had Her Daughter Attracted Such an Oddity?

    Chapter 813. How Had Her Daughter Attracted Such an Oddity?


    Nian Qingshan was vexed. No wonder Nian Qingyun had always wanted to find a way to stuff Nian Junting back into her womb. She had her reasons.


    At 9:00 p.m., Nian Junting left the g and got back into his Maybach.


    Lu Kang asked, Mr. Nian, how did tonight go?


    Initially my mother had already taken a liking to me, but Nian Qingyun got in the way of things. Nian Junting sighed deeply.


    Lu Kang, .


    Lu Kang scoffed to himself. Calling her your mother, Mo Jin might just p you if she heard.


    Ten minutester, Lu Kang said, Mr. Nian, were being followed by a car.


    Since the g?


    Yes. Lu Kang nodded. At the traffic light just now, I took a look in the rearview mirror. Its a ck Benz. It might be Mo Jins car.


    Nian Junting sighed to himself, Drive to the front. I think theres a fruit store ahead. Make a stop there.


    Youre buying fruit?


    Mm hm. I need to keep up the part of a good husband, Junting answered.


    Was he addicted to acting?


    After Lu Kang pulled up, Nian Junting got off the car and walked into the fruit store.


    Although he enjoyed fruit, he rarely bought them himself. Most of the time, it was Sister Lan or housekeeper Wus job to buy them. As for the times he went to Luosangs apartment, he would only apany her to purchase goods from the supermarket. He would leave her in charge of choosing the items, but would pay for the items and carry them.


    There was quite a variety of fruit in the store. He picked up a bag and began filling it with grapes, raisins, peaches, cherries etc.


    After about five minutes, Mo Jins silhouette appeared in the peripheries of his vision.


    What a coincidence. Are you here to buy fruit too? Nian Junting asked as he stood up.


    Mo Jin looked at the fruit in his hand and asked, Do you buy fruit often?


    Mm, I have no choice. The girlfriend loves fruit. Nian Junting said nonchntly, She especially loves grapes. I have to peel the skin off every time she has them.


    The corner of Mo Jins lips curled into a smile. He had a strange expression in his eyes.


    Nian Junting was afraid that he had said too much and might be suspicious, so he turned around to proceed to the cashier.


    After paying for his fruit, Nian Junting said, Take your time, Im going to go first.


    Hold on. Mo Jin followed him out.


    Is there anything else? Nian Junting came to a halt.


    You already know who I am, dont you? Mo Jins lips were curled in a vague smile.


    The midsummer breeze brushed past Nian Juntings handsome face, but his expression was frozen like stone.


    You must have done your research on me.


    Mo Jin said, Business is not my forte. My career lies in direction and photography. I oversee short films and programs of the pr region. Although my crew is small and we do not ce much emphasis on acting, I am still able to tell when someone is acting.


    Nian Junting,


    His outstanding performance had incurred suspicion.


    One more thing. Yesterday while Liuxi was on stage, he said that his surname was Mo. I think that if youve done your research on Luosangs mother, you might be suspicious.


    Mo Jin continued saying, And you appeared before me tonight. Yesterday you didnt even have the patience to speak, but tonight you talked endlessly to me about Luosang, saying how well you treat her, how much you pamper her, and now youre here to buy fruit. You must have known that I was following you from behind. I dont think you buy fruit at all. Those grapes you chose earlier, were all bad ones.


    Nian Junting looked down at his bag of fruit. Indeed, there were a few bad grapes. This fruit store was terrible.


    Youre right, although Ive been a little too deliberate. It was only because youre Luosangs mother. Nian Junting could no longer keep up his act. His gaze deepened. Why have you avoided Luosang? Dont you want to find out more about your son-inw to be?


    Mo Jin was speechless. What son-inw? Ive never given you my approval.


    Your approval isnt important to me. Whats important is Luosangs approval.


    Nian Junting straightened his back. I believe youve investigated my past with Luosang. I sympathize with the circumstances of your marriage, but no matter what, you only gave birth to Luosang without doing anything else for her. I was there for her in her darkest hours. Where were you when she scrimped and saved, when she didnt have enough for food and warmth, and when she was hurt by Yi Jingxi? I helped her through all that, so even if you dislike me, you have no right to keep us apart.


    Mo Jins heart felt as if it had beencerated, writhing in pain.


    She could feel her eyes getting warm.


    There are many things you dont understand, but youre right, I have not yed the role of a mother. Mo Jin nodded. But what mother does not feel for her children? She is my flesh and blood. Abandoning her is like abandoning the most precious thing to me.


    Pausing momentarily, Mo Jin sighed deeply, allowing her emotions to settle down. Look how I am. You must think that Im wealthy and should have reconciled with my daughter. Youre wrong. I was only epted by the Morrison family five years ago. For the past ten years and more, I have been bringing another child around in a foreign country, living day to day in poverty. Under these circumstances, how could I havee back for my daughter and make her suffer with me? If I hade back, I might not have been able to even keep my son with me.


    Nian Junting had heard about the misunderstandings between Xu Zhengxuan and Mo Jin from Luosang.


    In the past, he might not have understood this, but ever since Luosang had be pregnant, he suddenly understood the responsibility of being a parent.


    As a parent, who would not want the best for their children?


    Mum, rest assured. Luo and I will treat you well in the future.


    Sweet nothings were reserved for his woman. As for his mother-inw, all that was needed was action.


    Mo Jin, .


    Had she heard him wrongly? Who had asked him to call her Mum? Out of nowhere, a grown man calling her Mum. Mo Jin was shocked. How thick-skinned!


    Just a bit earlier, Mo Jin was still reeling from the hurt in her heart. She was even worried that she would shed tears. But now, she was determined not to do so in front of this scoundrel. If her daughter was too gentle, she would be strict.


    Whore you calling Mum, she snapped rudely.


    You.


    Nian Junting never averted his gaze from her.


    Mo Jin was now speechless. How did her daughter attract such an oddity?


    Stop trying to pretend to be close to me. I will not forget your attitude towards me yesterday. Mo Jinughed coldly. Your eyes must as well have been on the top of your head.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that Mo Jin must have remembered what happened yesterday.


    I didnt know you were Luosangs mother yesterday.

 Chapter 814. Im in a Very Low Place at Home

    Chapter 814. I''m in a Very Low ce at Home


    Nian Junting responded without hesitation, I really didnt know. Added to the fact that you showed up suddenly and bought out Luoxi, I had a bad attitude toward you. Maybe you dont know, but Im that kind of person. Im never friendly to women, except for my families and Luosang. I believe that a man should only be nice and gentle to his own woman. Im not like those who are warm and smiling to anyone they meet. I dont think thats right. My future-father-inw is like that. Thats why I dont appreciate him.


    Mo Jin paused briefly. She thought for a moment, then found those words made sense. Also, he criticized Xu Zhengxuan, and that made her extremelyfortable. Suddenly, she liked him much more than before.


    If you dont appreciate him, why are you trying everything you can to save him? The look on Mo Jins face turned slightly better.


    Because hes Luos father. Im in a very low ce at home. I only follow her words, Nian Junting sighed and said, Also, Ive dug into it, and found that Uncle Xu was indeed framed by Yi Jingxi. Yi Jingxi took away Luosangspany and almost made her miscarry. No matter how, Ill send him to prison.


    Mo Jin nodded. She had known how much Nian Junting had helped Luosang. That was why she wanted to find out what kind of a person he was by herself. She got close to him to get to know about his personality, while he didnt know who she really was.


    Many rich kids had all kinds of bad habits. No matter how much he had helped her daughter, she wouldnt trust him only because of that. A man would do anything for a woman when he was in love with her, but when he stopped loving her, he would kick her away.


    She had seen too many heartless men like that.


    Did you just call Xu Zhengxuan Uncle? Mo Jin raised her brows.


    He called Xu Zhengxuan Uncle but called her Mother.


    Of course. He has done something bad to you, so I dont appreciate him. And to be honest, he, as Luosangs father, should have seen Yi Jingxis true face earlier. She was young and silly, but he should be wiser. However, he failed to see through Yi Jingxi, but got him into Xu Group. As he was framed, Xu Group fell into Yi Jingxis hands. He even lost his family business to Yi Jingxi.


    Nian Junting shook his head with a frown.


    My dear future father-inw, Im deeply sorry. At this critical moment, I have no choice but to use you as a stepping-stone, he thought.


    Hearing his words, Mo Jin felt even morefortable. What she liked to hear the most was people saying bad things about Xu Zhengxuan.


    Youre right. Xu Zhengxuan is the real reason why Yi Jingxi fooled Luosang and took away her family business, said Mo Jin with anger. It was all his fault. He had an affair with Yi Jingxis mother. That woman lied to her son, coaxed him into getting revenge on Luosang. He put himself in a miserable state, but Luosang is innocent.


    Nian Junting wore a surprised look. It seemed that his future mother-inw knew more than he did.


    Do you know why Yi Jingxi hurt Luosangs family? He asked.


    I didnt at first. A couple of days ago, I saw Chi Lei and learned something about it. But I dont know all the details yet. All in all, she lied to Yi Jingxi. Yi Jingxi already knows the truth. If he still has some conscience, he should turn himself in, Mo Jin sighed.


    Mother, youre really good, Nian Junting praised. Ive been trying to figure out why, but Yi Jingxi refused to tell me. I only guessed that it had something to do with his mother.


    Mo Jin gave him a re and said, Youre a sweet-talker. Im telling you, whether youre nice to me isnt important. Whats important is that you have to be nice to my daughter. Be loyal to her. Dont think I dont know that you got her pregnant before even marrying her.


    Mentioning that, Mo Jin got angry again. When Mo Liuxi told her about that, she was so pissed off that she almost passed out. Her daughter was experiencing the same thing as she had. Before even finishing her school, she fell into a mans sweet trap and got pregnant. She had dropped out of school to give birth to the baby and then that man cheated on her.


    Even though Chi Lei imed that nothing really happened between her and Xu Zhengxuan, Mo Jin didnt believe her. Back then, Xu Zhengxuan was very protective of Chu Lei.


    He never took her, his wife, to any formal asions, but took Chu Lei everywhere. They showed up together at all kinds of lectures and forums. Perhaps Xu Zhengxuan thought that she was too low for those formal asions. After all, he was a professor while she was an orphan who dropped out of school.


    For that reason, she came back to find her daughter, to provide her with the best resources that she could find. She epted the fact that her daughter had a boyfriend, but didnt want her to get married too soon. It wouldnt be toote for her to get married when she had her own career. By then, she would be a more confident woman. Luosang especially needed that, because she would be a member of a rich family like the Nian Family.


    However, to her surprise, Luosang was already pregnant.


    Im sorry about that. Nian Junting had no other choice but to apologize sincerely. Im not young anymore. Im thirty years old already. Luosang is so much younger than me. I was afraid that I might lose her, so But, please dont worry. Shes already in the fourth year of her school. The fourth year is rtively easy. Many students spend that year doing internships. After she gives birth to the baby, Ill hire nannies to take care of the baby and shell be able to do whatever she wants. In fact, I want her to have her own career too. She said that she wants to be a voice actress and I support her hundred percent.


    Mo Jin snorted coldly, Xu Zhengxuan said the same thing to me, but look how that turned out


    He did? Nian Junting knitted his brows. I didnt know Uncle Xu was that kind of person. Mom, well only let you see our baby, not him.


    Mo Jin stayed silent. She just couldnt resist it when someone was saying bad things about Xu Zhengxuan.


    Nian Junting grasped the opportunity and said, Mom, do you want toe with me and meet Luosang right now? Actually, Luosang misses you all the time. She knows what happened before, so she doesnt me you. You might not know that Uncle Xu had been telling her that you died. Thats why she didnt know that youre still alive. Earlier, she ran into your ssmate, Feng Ge. Thats how she learned that youre not dead, and that you were pregnant.


    Mo Jin exploded with anger. When did I die! Xu Zhengxuan is such a shameless person! I risked my life to give birth to Luosang yet he kept her for himself. And then he actually tried to erase me from my daughters world! What a b*stard!


    Nian Junting felt a little helpless.


    Because of that, he disapproved of Xu Zhengxuan more.


    With some things, he couldnt exin too much, in case Mo Jin disliked him. He could tell that Mo Jin had many misunderstandings about Xu Zhengxun.


    After a short silence, Mo Jin asked worryingly, Do you think that Does Luosang really not hate me?


    Nian Junting nodded, She never hated you. She believes that you did what you did for a reason.


    Mo Jins eyes reddened with excitement. After a while, she calmed down and said, Its toote today. Im not going with you. Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, Ill be there with Liuxi.


    Okay, Nian Junting nodded. Ill tell Luo about it.


    Thank you. Mo Jins lips quivered. Then she continued awkwardly, Dont misunderstand me. I do not think that youre good enough already. My test for you willst a whole lifetime. Ill see if you can be nice to her for her entire life, not just a year or two.

 Chapter 815. It Was a Single Fetus. How Could There Be Twins?

    Chapter 815. It Was a Single Fetus. How Could There Be Twins?


    I will. I can neglect myself, but I will never treat Luo poorly.


    Nian Junting smiled. After seeing Mo Jin off in her car, he turned to return to his own.


    Lu Kang saw that he had been talking to Mo Jin and was concerned. Boss, did Mo Jin recognize you?


    How dare you call my mother-inw by her name? Nian Junting shot him a re.


    Lu Kang coughed and quickly corrected himself. Ms. Mo.


    Nian Junting let out a satisfied grunt.


    So, what did Ms. Mo say to you?


    Lu Kangs eyes betrayed a twinkle of hope. How he wished that someone would scold Mr. Nian. He might have been cruel to wish that, but ever since Luosang had gotten pregnant, Mr. Nian had gotten carried away on many asions, insulting the pride of someone a year older than him, without a rhyme or reason.


    What else could she say? Of course she praised me for how capable a son-inw I was. Nian Junting closed his eyes and smiled. Tomorrow youll go to their ce to bring them to our vi. Theyre going to meet with us.


    Mr. Nian, you are quite capable, Lu Kang said between gritted teeth.


    Its necessary.


    Back at the vi, Luosang had not fallen asleep. She was sitting by the television with Sister Lan eating birds nest soup.


    Hearing footsteps approach, she turned to see Nian Junting holding a takeaway box in his left hand, and a bag of fruit in his right.


    Sister Lan said, Master, why did you buy so much fruit? Theres still so many at home.


    I forgot. Nian Junting ced the takeaway box in front of Luosang. Have some. I packed these for you.


    Luosang opened the box to take a peek. There was a variety of delectable desserts and a few intricate dishes.


    Before, she might have finished the food in a matter of minutes, but now, the smell of the food made her feel ufortable.


    Im craving something spicy.


    She put the box down and sighed regrettably.


    Sister Lan said, Sour is for sons, spicy is for daughters, it must be a girl.


    Not bad. Nian Junting looked at her approvingly. Your performance has been stertely; Ill add a thousand to your monthly sry.


    Sister Lan could not stop herself from dancing with joy. Actually, I stand corrected. It must be a pair of twins.


    Nian Junting nodded. A thousand is too little. Ill add two thousand.


    Housekeeper Wu, who was passing by, could not help but feel envious. I think it must be triplets.


    Nian Junting looked at him with disapproval, Youre not being realistic; you dont mean it. How can Luos little stomach fit three babies?


    Housekeeper Wu, .


    Luosang, .


    Sister Lan was being phony as well. The doctor had already conducted an ultrasound and had informed them it was a single fetus. How could there be twins?


    She sighed. Sister Lan, have the food.


    Sister Lan shook her head. No, Ive been trying to lose weight.


    All right. Even Sister Lan wanted to lose weight at her age. On the other hand, Luosang was getting fatter.


    She turned and saw that Nian Juntings wore a pleased expression. You look like youre in a good mood today.


    Mm, Nian Junting wanted to tell her about Mo Jin, but he was afraid that she might get too emotional to sleep, which might be bad for the fetus.


    Stop watching TV and go to sleep.


    I cant sleep. Luosang rebelled as he picked her up. Ive slept too much today.


    Ill sleep with you.


    Luo Sang was speechless. She could not convince him otherwise.


    Mo Jin returned to the hotel.


    Mo Liuxi was sprawledzily on the sofa watching a movie. He muttered, What has the director been eating? His mind is full of rubbish. How does a shitty film like this get on the big screen? I am perplexed.


    Mo Jin walked over, grabbed the remote control and turned the television off.


    What? Mo Liuxi sat up, unhappy.


    Sleep early. Were going to Nian Juntings vi tomorrow to meet your sister, Mo Jin said inly.


    Mo Liuxi froze. So soon? I thought you wanted to get to know Nian Junting first.


    Ive had a brief understanding; hes passable. I give him a score of 60, Mo Jin said inly.


    Mo Liuxis pretty face fell momentarily. How quick of you to change your mind. You were still heavily criticizing him yesterday.


    Mo Jin red at him. You have your opinions. I met him again today, and he treats your sister very well. He also seems like someone with morals. After some thought, he has helped your sister out a lot.


    Mo Liuxi looked her over andmented, Could it be because he helped you to scold Xu Zhengxuan? So you feel that hes a better person?


    Mo Jin turned away and walked towards her room. She said, Dont spout rubbish. Is your mother someone to fall for such tricks?


    Mo Liuxi looked at her and chuckled. He knew that he had guessed right. A son knows his mother well.


    The next day, at 8.30 a.m., Luosang realized that Nian Junting was still lying in bed. You arent going to work today?


    Ive something to settle today, so Im not going. Nian Junting turned over on his side and cupped one side of his face in his hand, looking on at her.


    Oh. Luosang turned over and went back to sleep.


    Nian Junting turned her over and asked, Why didnt you ask me what I had to settle?


    Has it got to do with me? Luosangs eyes glittered. Is my fathering out?


    No, but this shouldnte second to your fathering out. Nian Junting smiled and tousled her hair. Stopping himself, he said, Why dont you make a guess?


    Luosang yawnedzily. Unless you found my mother.


    Nian Junting smiled but remained silent.


    Luosang looked on, and her eyes started to widen. She suddenly did not feel sleepy anymore. I I did not guess right, did I?


    Luosang was trembling with excitement, but soon she felt helpless. In her conscious mind, the word Mum remained strange yet familiar.


    If they met, what would it be like?


    Would it be like in the television shows, where mother and daughter would be as close as ever? Or would it be strange and would they feel like strangers?


    Whats the matter? Nian Junting noticed that she had gone solemn and pulled her into his embrace.


    Junting, youve met my mother? Luosang asked, unsettled. What kind of person is she? How did you find her? Didnt we say we would wait until my fatheres out?


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. Hm.


    You really found my mother! Luosang sat up suddenly. She could feel her entire body trembling with emotion.


    Calm down, dont hurt my baby. Nian Juntingid down on the bed. I asked Lu Kang to fetch them in the morning. Theyll be hereter; your brother as well.


    Luosang blinked a few times. Suddenly, she looked down and rudely pped Nian Juntings face. It hurt. Indignant, he asked, Why did you hit me?


    Im checking to see if I was dreaming, Luosang said innocently.


    Nian Junting gritted his teeth unhappily. Then hit yourself. Why hit me?


    Because Im afraid of pain. Luosang did not look guilty at all.

 Chapter 816. My Brother is So Handsome. Why is He So Handsome?

    Chapter 816. My Brother is So Handsome. Why is He So Handsome?


    He found that his woman was getting meaner and meaner.


    Youre not dreaming, he said grumpily.


    Luosang was so excited, but soon she panicked.


    Since the beginning of her memory, the word mother was both familiar and strange.


    What would happen when she finally met her mother?


    Would they naturally be close despite the fact that they had been separated for so many years, like the stories in some TV series?


    Would they be like strangers?


    Seeing her fall into silence, Nian Junting pulled her over and asked, Whats wrong?


    Junting, have you met my mother yet? Luosang asked uneasily. What kind of person is she? How did you find her? Didnt you say that youll start looking for her after you got my father out of the prison?


    In fact, I didnt look for her. She just showed up and I recognized her. Nian Junting stroked her arm and told her the truth, She cares a lot about you. She really loves you. She worried that I might mistreat you, so she got close to me as a stranger to see if Im a good person or not. And in fact, youve met your brother.


    Luosang paused briefly then hurriedly got up from him and asked, Who is it?


    Guess, Nian Junting said. You should be able to guess it now. Youve seen himtely.


    Luosang fell into confusion. Whom had she recently met? She stayed at home every single day.


    Suddenly, a thought popped up in her mind and some words escaped her lips, That boy who saved me in the shopping mall? My new neighbor?


    Nian Junting raised his brows and smiled silently. Seeing that look on his face, Luosang knew that she had guessed right.


    With excitement, she pped Nian Juntings chest and said, I cant believe that I didnt realize it until just now.


    That p caused Nian Junting real pain. Xu Luosang, Im not a table.


    Luosang ignored him, submerged in her own emotions. No wonder I felt so familiar with him that day. I felt no repulsion, not even when he carried me. I felt happy and sweet. It turned out that it was because hes my brother.


    Nian Junting was so angry that even his liver hurt.


    Happy and sweet? She never mentioned happy and sweet when he carried her.


    Xu Luosang, you didnt say so back then. He clenched his teeth and said, You told me that you only let him hold you because you were dizzy.


    Luosang buried her face in her hands, saying, My brother is so handsome. How can he be so handsome? Hes so, so handsome.


    Nian Junting stayed silent.


    With anger, he dragged her over and said, Is your brother more handsome or am I?


    Luosang waved her hands and said, Youre my boyfriend and hes my brother. Theres no point to thisparison.


    I care, very much. Nian Juntings dark eyes showed strong discontent. You never said that about me.


    He was jealous. He remembered that she said she would be really nice to her brother, if she had one. What would he do if that really happened?


    Alright. Youre handsome too. Youre the manly type and my brother is a pretty type.


    Thats not right. You once said that Im like a man inics. Nian Junting remembered that clearly.


    Youre my favorite type. Luosang wasnt in the mood for this kind of discussion so she gave a simple response.


    Nian Junting curved his lips in a smile as her answer satisfied him.


    It seems that my brother knows who I am for a long time. Luosang had finally figured it out. He moved next-door to me deliberately, didnt he? Why didnt he just tell me the truth?


    Nian Junting nced at her. Her families didnt tell her the truth because they wanted to find out what kind of man he was first. Mo Liuxi even pretended to be a suitor of Luosang. Back then, Nian Junting almost lost his temper because of jealousy. If he hadnt avoided picking a fight with him that day, Mo Jin would have seen him as a violent person.


    His future brother-inw was so evil. That boy was clearly not easy to deal with.


    I guess its because they dont want to scare you, He said. Besides, when your mother left, you didnt know that you had a brother. As for your mother, even though she hasnt talked to you, she has done a lot for you. Earlier I told you that a foreigner bought out the Yi Group. That person was your mother.


    Luosang was surprised. She had heard from Zeng Zhun that her mothers family background wasnt ordinary, but didnt expect her to be so rich. She even bought out the Yi Group easily.


    Why didnt shee back for me earlier? Luosang suddenly got upset.


    Previously she had thought that her mother might be living a poor life out there, and that was why she didnte back for her. But now she found that she was wrong.


    She had her own reasons. She only returned to the Morrison Family five years ago. Before that, she and your brother lived a hard life. So they couldnte back to find you. Besides, if your father found out about your brother, he would want him. As a woman who has no power or money, I guess your mother didnt dare to take that risk.


    Nian Junting gently put an arm around Luosang tofort her. Ive asked Lu Kang to do some background checking. Your mother often went to the pr regions to film documentaries. Three years ago, she had an ident and was injured pretty badly. Three years ago, your brother came back to look for you, but then left in haste. I guess that was because your mother had an ident.


    Luosang understood, and suddenly, she med her father a little bit. If he had dealt with the problems between him and her mother in a mature way, and not locked her mother up after she got pregnant, she might not have been away for so many years.


    Junting, my mother didnt get married again, did she?


    Em ording to what I know, no.


    Luosang sighed. In fact, my father still loves her. What happened twenty years ago was only a misunderstanding. I wish that they could get back together.


    Nian Junting moved his lips slightly then told the truth, Luo, even though I havent talked too much with your mother, I can tell that she hates your father. In fact, your parents are both adults. Just let them do what they findfortable. Its unnecessary for them to be together for their children if it is against their wills.


    He himself had experienced the same thing. He witnessed Murong Cheng sacrifice a lot for Nian Xi and himself.


    Luosang knew that he was thinking of his own parents. She nodded in silence, then said, Youre right. As long as theyre happy.


    After saying that, she got up from the bed and said, When will they be here?


    They live a little far away from here. Itll take them about an hour driving. So they might be here at half-past ten orter. You can get some more sleep, Nian Junting said as he held her hand.


    No. How can I possibly fall asleep? Luosang washed her hair, did some skincare, then changed her clothes over and over again.


    Nian Junting leaned against the door of the closet, watched her, and said unhappily, You never selected clothes so carefully when going out with me.


    Youve seen me in ugly shapes and in pretty clothes. Why do you mind? Luosang walked to him, stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips. She was in a very good mood.


    Nian Junting felt sweet in his heart. His woman rarely took such initiative to kiss him. How could he let her run away easily?


    His strong arm pped her waist and pulled her to his chest. Then Nian Juntings lips pressed against hers aggressively and invaded her sweet, freshly scented mouth.


    Luosang put both her arms around his neck.

 Chapter 817. Be Good, Call Me Brother-in-Law

    Chapter 817. Be Good, Call Me Brother-in-Law


    Nian Junting ced her on top of his feet and hugged her tightly. His dominant aura surrounded her.


    Luosang was trying on a chiffon dress and hadnt zipped up the back yet. The dress easily fell to their feet.


    Nian Junting bent down and kissed her belly over and over again.


    Her slim waist had be a little more rounded, but the roundness contained the product of their love, a little princess.


    Luosang looked down at him shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito, Get up quickly, the doctor said that we cant do that.


    I didnt say that I was going to do anything. Nian Junting gloomily lifted up her dress, zipped it up and blurted out two words, So sweet.


    Luosang blushed even more. He kissed many ces; she didnt know which part he referred to.


    Luo, in the future when you have a brother and mother, will my position in your heart be pushed back? Nian Junting asked. A trace of arrogance could be seen from his eyes.


    Of course not. You will always upy the most important position in my heart, Luosang said solemnly. Nian Junting was relieved.


    At 10:40 a.m., there was a sound of a car outside.


    Luosang eagerly walked out. From the Maybach, the first toe out was Mo Liuxi. d in ankle jeans and a white shirt, even the bright rays of sunshine appeared dull when shining on his features that were as elegant as ancient Chinese paintings.


    Right after him, a woman walked out from the other side of the car. She was in a deep blue dress with her hair half tied. Not everyone could pull off that color, but on her, she looked charming and alluring.


    Luosang had seen a photo of her mother from twenty years ago. Then, her face spoke of innocence of a young girl. The years in between did not leave many marks on her face, but she gained an air of maturity.


    Since she knew that Mo Jin was still alive, Luosang daydreamed about how her mother would look. Yet, when she met her mother in person, her mind went nk.


    Mo Jin didnt dare walk forward, but stood a few meters away and stared at Luosang dazedly; her eyes slowly turning red.


    Mo Liuxi sighed and took a few steps forward till he was in front of Luosang. He had a tall and slim build; Luosang barely reached his chest.


    He looked at her. Hi, Xu Luosang


    Before he could finish, he was hit on the back of his head by Mo Jin. Who said you could address her directly by her name? Call her big sister.


    Luosang:


    Mo Liuxi rubbed the back of his head and red angrily at Mo Jin before turning around. He gently patted Luosangs head and said, Hi, big sister


    This time, he didnt finish before Nian Junting hit his hand away. Nian Junting said with a cool gaze, You cant touch my girlfriends head either.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Was this world still fair?


    Luosang red at Nian Junting. You are not allowed to bully my younger brother.


    When she finished, she hugged Mo Liuxi. Beside her, Nian Juntings eyes rounded and filled with mes of jealousy.


    Even if it was her own brother, he didnt feelfortable that his woman was hugging another man. His heart felt like it was being scratched in a hundred ces.


    He tried very hard to hold it in for about three seconds before forcefully pulling Luosang away. Theres no need to hug your brother for so long. Hug your mother.


    Mo Liuxi hadnt hugged her for long, nor had he said much to her before she was pulled away. He was instantly annoyed andughed sarcastically. Why didnt I know that I gained an old big brother like you.


    Nian Juntings eyes darkened. Who are you calling old, rascal.


    Youre older than me by ten years. If youre not old big brother, what are you? Mo Liuxi said lightly.


    Be good and call me brother-inw. Nian Junting took out a fat red packet from his pocket. A gift for our first meeting.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Luosang:


    She had no idea when he prepared the gift; he never mentioned it to her.


    Mo Jin was satisfied. Although he was born to a rich family, he understood the correct manners for meeting people.


    Just ept it. She sent a look to her son in case the rascal made the situation difficult and caused her daughter to be unhappy.


    Mo Liuxi suppressed the urge to punch Nian Junting and took it grudgingly.


    Mo Jin finally came forward and smiled gently at Luosang; her tears almost spilling over. She forced herself to raise her head. Things like tears didnt suit her, but when she opened her mouth, her voice choked.


    Luosang didnt dare to speak either. She was afraid that when she did, she would start crying.


    Instead, she moved forward and hugged Mo Jin forcefully. She buried her face in Mo Jins chest and said, Mum.


    Mo Jin couldnt hold back her tears anymore. She silently cried while holding Luosang.


    Once she did, Luosang started crying too, but through smiles.


    Nian Junting and Mo Liuxi stood together on the side, but Mo Liuxis eyes were also a little red. Mo Liuxi took a deep breath and noticed that Nian Junting was watching him. He hurriedly raised his head andmented, To think that your vi has so much sand, the wind blew it into my eyes. The estate upkeep is not thorough.


    Nian Junting:


    The sun was so hot that it could burn off ayer of skin. How could there be wind? If he wanted to cry, just cry. The rascal should stop pretending.


    Luosang, let Mother go in and enjoy the air-conditioning; its hot outside. Nian Junting said.


    Luosang then wiped her tears and let go. She pulled Mo Jin into the house saying, Mum,e in quickly.


    All sorts of fruit and nuts wereid out on the coffee table in the living room.


    Just as Mo Jin sat down, Sister Lan brought over tea immediately. Even before the tea was served, Nian Junting took out another red packet from his pocket and extended it towards Mo Jin. Mum. A gift for the engagement with your daughter.


    Sister Lan was so shocked that her feet stumbled, almost spilling all the tea.


    Mo Liuxi was so speechless that his eyes were bulging out while Luosang forgot her tears.


    Mo Jin was also a little stunned. It was not until Nian Junting ced the red packet in her hands that she felt a card in the red packet. What are you


    Nian Juntings gaze was serious and sincere. I wanted to give an engagement gift to Luos family for a long time, but Uncle Xu has been in jail. I initially nned to give an engagement gift once Uncle Xu is released, but now that Ive met you today, Mum, I feel that I should give it to you. After all, you are calmer and more rational,pared to Uncle Xu.


    Uncle Xu


    Luosang was speechless.


    Damn it, this guy was shameless. This wasnt how he addressed fatherst time; he was calling him Dad in prison.


    Mo Jin felt embarrassed to ept the engagement gift. First off, she only just reconciled with Luosang and the two of them were not familiar with each other yet. In addition, she didnt do much for Luosang as a mother. Only, Nian Juntings words made her heart light, so she couldnt bear to turn it down.


    Nian Junting continued saying, Mum, its not much money, only a few billion. I know that Luo is priceless, but all of my money is with her now, so I cant give much.


    Mo Jin broke out in sweat.


    A few billion was not considered much? Before she entered the Morrisons, her and a few billion was as distant as the Milky Way Gxy.

 Chapter 818. She Looked at Mo Liuxi with A Silly Smile on Her Face

    Chapter 818. She Looked at Mo Liuxi with A Silly Smile on Her Face


    She was surprised that her daughter was actually so capable, that she was already managing Nian Juntings money. Perhaps she had learned a lesson from what Yi Jingxi did to her, and was no longer easily fooled.


    Sangsang, is what he said true? Mo Jin asked.


    Luosang awkwardly nodded, and responded, Yes, hesvish in spending money.


    However, even though she took away his bank cards, he had bound those cards with his Alipay ount and WeChat so he could still spend as much money as he wanted.


    Luosang just didnt have the heart to cut the ground from under Nian Juntings feet when she saw Mo Jin the first time.


    I am. Nian Junting hurriedly agreed with her. I could spend a lot of money every single day. Soter, we discussed it and decided to let Luo manage my money. She only needs to give me some gas money every month. I dont really need to spend much money actually, as I dont y games, nor smoke, nor drink, and I rarely engage in social intercourse.


    Mo Liuxi snorted. Nian Junting was trying to fawn on his mother, but in the end, he started to brag about himself. Unlike him, Ms. Mo who was sitting beside Mo Liuxi couldnt stop nodding.


    Silly, Mo Liuxi thought.


    Nian Junting held Mo Jins hands and said, Mom, just take it, or Ill feel sorry for Luo.


    In this case, I dont think I can reject you. But, I wont take your money. Ill give it to Sangsang. Mo Jin hurriedly held Luosangs hands and thrust the card in them. After that, she quickly took out a contract from her purse, handed to Luosang and said, This is Luoxis shares. Im giving it all to you.


    Luosang was surprised. Without even knowing how, she suddenly got rich.


    She didnt even know how to respond. Mom, what are you doing? I dont know how to run apany. I only want to be a normal voice actress.


    Just take the shares. Ive hired managers for you. You dont need to do anything but take the profit every year, Mo Jin looked at her with guilt. All these years, I havent done anything for you. So now, I can only get everything that belongs to you back for you. Sangsang, if you ever want anything, just tell me. Mommy will give you everything you want.


    Nian Junting held Luosangs hand and said, Mom, you only need to spend more time with Luo. If she wants anything, Ill get it for her. What you need to do is to be her mother. Thats all.


    Luosang looked at Mo Jin in the eyes and, said, Yeah, Mom, I have everything I need. One thing I didnt have in my life is a mother. Now I have one, I feel so happy. Oh, I heard from Aunty Feng that you were an orphan. What happened back then?


    Mo Jin snorted withughter and said, Well, I was really lucky. Your grandpa met your grandma in Xia City when he came to China for work. He was only ying her. He came from a rich family and was already married. He even had children. Later on, he finished his work in China and returned to Europe when your grandma found out that she was pregnant with me. She didnt want me, so she gave birth to me and left me in an orphanage. Unexpectedly, your grandpas only son identally died five years ago in a steelwork factory. He somehow found out that your grandma had me, so he found me and brought me back to the Morrison Family. I didnt want to go at first. My life was a failure but I could live with it. However, for my two children, I decided to return to the Morrison Family atst. I didnt take a part in their family business though, as that is a way tooplicated world. Ive been doing what I like, making films. If I hadnt had to buy out the Yi Group, I wouldnt have touched the Morrison Familys money.


    Hearing that, Luosang felt sad. Compared with Mo Jin, the pain that she had suffered was nothing.


    Mom, just stay in Xia City. Ill take care of you from now on.


    Sure. I dont want to leave the country again. Luo, I want to spend more time with you. Mo Jin shed tears while stroking Luosangs face.


    You have no idea how little you were when I left. I dreamed about you every single night and then cried when I woke up. I didnt want to leave you, I really didnt. But I didnt dare go back either. Your father locked me up in a small room, even sealed the window. I couldnt see the sky. It was so miserable. I felt like a breeding machine. I was afraid that he might give your brother to someone else and that he might not even let me see him. I told myself that I needed to leave, to fight, to grow strong, and that one day Ill be even stronger than your father so I can get you back. However, the outside world was such a difficult ce. I didnt finish college so wherever I went, people looked down on me.


    Mom, stop. Luosang held her tight.


    At that very moment, she hated Xu Zhengxuan. Before, she wished that her parents could get back together, but now she had changed her mind. Xu Zhengxuan had hurt Mo Jin too much. Perhaps Mo Jin wasnt a perfect person when she was young, but she dropped out of school for him, and bore him a child in her best years. She should have been cherished, yet she wasnt.


    Mom, from now on, we are your family, Nian Junting added.


    Mo Jin wiped her tears and nodded. Mo Jin and Mo Liuxi stayed for lunch. Sister Lan made some great dishes.


    They chatted while eating. Luosang mentioned that Mo Liuxi was studying in Ximei. Junting, didnt you say that you were worried about me living in the apartment alone with Yan Su? Now you can stop worrying. Liuxi lives next-door and were studying in the same school.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting hurriedly swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, Your brother is still young and he doesnt have a girlfriend. He doesnt know how to take care of people. Dont trouble him. You both need to focus on study and improving yourselves.


    Mo Liuxizily raised his head and responded, You are wrong. Im actually good at cooking. When I lived with my mom, I always cooked for her.


    He alwaysined about my food, Mo Jin added with embarrassment.


    What you did was not cooking, it was more like getting things cooked. Mo Liuxi sighed and shook his head.


    Luosangughed, Your future girlfriend is lucky.


    Mo Liuxi carelessly smiled and said, Having a girlfriend is no fun. It wont be as good as having meals and watching films together with my sister.


    Great. Luosang immediately agreed. But after that, she felt that someone stomped her foot under the table.


    Thats what husbands do, Nian Junting said.


    Is that so? Sister? Mo Liuxi looked at Luosang with his glistening, ck eyes.


    His pretty face wore a slightly harmed look. Luosang could not take that. She hurriedly nodded and replied, Dont listen to him. You can call me whenever you want to have a meal or watch a film.


    Mo Liuxi turned to Nian Junting and raised his eyebrows. Nian Juntings expression immediately looked troubled. His woman was looking at Mo Liuxi with a silly smile on her face and he was not happy about it.


    Sister, is that shrimp good? I want to try it but I dont want to bother to peel it. Mo Liuxis delicate face had a pitiful look.

 Chapter 819. Dont Talk to Me, Im Not As Handsome As Your Brother

    Chapter 819. Don''t Talk to Me, I''m Not As Handsome As Your Brother


    Luosang was fired up and blurted out without thinking, Ill peel for you.


    Nian Junting said in a low voice, Luo, he is already an adult, he can peel it himself. It will be troublesome if you spoil him and make his girlfriend peel for him in the future.


    Luosang gave him a look.


    Had she not peeled prawns for him many times before?


    Anyways, her brother was so good-looking, there was no need to worry that he couldnt find a woman to peel prawns for him.


    He is my younger brother. Its alright to spoil him a little. Luosang peeled the prawn happily.


    It was Mo Jin who said, Dont feed his habits. His hands are not crippled.


    Mo Liuxi sighed slowly. I just want to experience life being cared for by my sister. When we were overseas, I always envied those with older sisters and wanted to meet her. When I saw her in Beijing Yu Fan thest time, it was like a dream.


    Yu Fan?


    Luosang was stunned. Youve seen me?


    Mm hm. My friend Chu Jiu is the CEOs son. He was giving me a tour of Yu Fan and I saw you by chance. But you were walking too fast.


    Suddenly Luosang realized something. After that, Shi Xiang was suddenly swapped out. That wouldnt have anything to do with you, would it?


    Mo Liuxis face remained passive, but it was full of pride. No matter who bullies you, I wont let this person off.


    Luosangs heart went into a flurry. Liuxi, youre great. I was really upset with Shi Xiang. When I heard that he was swapped out, I felt avenged. But what I am most in awe of is how you could find a Hollywood star so quickly.


    Mo Liuxi said lightly, Mm. Ive worked with them before and we have a good rtionship.


    Youre still so young but youve already worked with people from Hollywood. Luosang admired him very much.


    Mo Jin smiled. This rascal has talent in directing and writing screenys. Three years ago, Master Wilson let him work on, The Last Disciple. He participated in all the movies that Wilson directed.


    Immediately, Luosang understood. Her gaze towards Mo Liuxi was full of passion.


    Although she was only a lowly voice actress, she still knew some things about the industry.


    Wilson was a big shot. Every single one of his movies broke the world record in box office sales.


    Liuxi, I dont believe that you are my younger brother. To think that I have such an outstanding brother. Luosang felt so proud of him and continued to peel prawns for him.


    Mo Liuxi picked up a prawn and covertly raised a handsome eyebrow towards Nian Junting while his eyes shined.


    Picking a fight; this guy was picking a fight.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes. He felt like a jar of vinegar had spilled over heart; everything he ate tasted sour.


    But Mo Jin was here as well and it was her first time at his ce. He couldnt show his jealousy.


    He didnt expect the friend Chu Jiu mentioned earlier would be Mo Liuxi; this rascal had some connections.


    Mum, will you be staying with Liuxi in the future? Nian Junting changed the topic.


    No, I wont. I have my own work to do as well. However, I n to buy a house in An City, Mo Jin said with a smile.


    There seems to be a vi right beside us. The environment is pretty good, and the house is already furnished. If mum doesnt mind, you can buy the house neighboring ours. Ill negotiate the price for you, Nian Junting said hurriedly. If we stay close, we can take care of each other too.


    When Luosang heard that, expectation filled her eyes.


    Although she had imed her mum back, she was still pregnant and couldnt stay with Mo Jin. It would be best if she could stay beside Mo Jin.


    Sure. Mo Jin was very satisfied.


    Rather than her son, she just wanted to spend more time with her daughter now.


    Mo Jin and her son stayed till after dinner.


    Luosang walked them to the door, but still couldnt bear to say goodbye. She was still very happy; so much that the whole day seemed like a dream.


    After she had showered, Luosang happily shared the good news with Yan Su. Yan Su was shocked. What? So that rascal is your younger brother? Its no wonder that I kept thinking he looks like you.


    Luosang smiled widely. Thats true. My brother indeed looks a lot like me. I told him that if you are at home, he should start workter, and he agreed.


    Yan Su said gloomily, The elder sisters charm is greater indeed. I even gave him food to try to persuade him to start workter, but he still ignored me.


    Luosangughed secretly. That is a given. It feels so good to have a younger brother out of nowhere. Susu, Liuxi stays right next to you. Can I trouble you to look after him?


    Yan Su:


    To be honest, she didnt want to take care of that guy.


    Both of you will be in the entertainment industry in the future. Luosang told her a summarized version of the story between her and Mo Liuxi but left out the part about Shi Xiang. After all, he was her ex-boyfriend; she could be ufortable.


    Are the people from your family born geniuses? Yan Su was incredibly envious. That sort of student would be a national treasure in Ximei.


    Im not sure, but Ive never been troubled by studying.


    It was a given that she never felt troubled. She effortlessly topped the cohort in every exam.


    Yan Su sighed. She suddenly understood why Ye Chuen was so full of jealousy and hatred.


    Luosang put the phone down. She turned around and found Nian Junting sitting on the bed with a cold look on his expressionless face.


    Junting Luosang inched towards him. Her hand touched his shoulder when it was pushed away.


    Dont touch me. The man coldly opened hisptop to look at the American stock market.


    Luosang blinked rapidly. She was in a good mood today and felt that even if he hit her, she wouldnt be angry. Whats wrong?


    Nian Junting snorted and gave her a look. Dont talk to me. Im not as handsome as your brother.


    Nian Junting continued saying, Dont date me either. Just go with your brother on lunch and movie dates in the future.


    Dont peel prawns for me either, just peel for your brother.


    If you are bullied in the future, dont look to me either. Look for your brother, since he is the almighty.


    Luosang stayed silent while watching him whine.


    It was only when he quieted that she asked, Are you done?


    Nian Junting turned his face away and continued looking at stocks with his chin high. He looked incredibly arrogant.


    Luosang looked at him for a while before she lowered her head andughed quietly. Are you alright? Youre getting jealous over my younger brother?


    Nian Junting smiled coldly. Im not jealous. I just find it unfair. Look. I treat Nian Xi like a de of grass; allowing her to grow on her own. You should be like me.


    Luosang was speechless.


    To proudly dere words like he treats his sister like a de of grass. Actually, I think you should show more concern towards Nian Xi.


    Ive given you all my concern, Nian Junting said lightly. Younger sisters are not important.


    Luosang was both charmed and speechless.


    I cant do anything about that. Youve been an older brother for over twenty years, but its my first time being an older sister. Luosang rubbed the back of her feet against him under the nket. Im just too happy. I cant help but spoil Liuxi a little. Anyways, dont you think that Liuxi looks super cute and handsome?


    Excuse me, but Im not gay. I dont feel anything towards guys, Nian Junting replied coldly.

 Chapter 820. Her Bride Price Was a Thousand?

    Chapter 820. Her Bride Price Was a Thousand?


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    Nian Junting grumpily spent a short while on theputer then raised his head again and couldnt help but say, I think my ce in your heart faces challenges. You never admired me, nor praised me, nor told me that Im good or anything like that.


    I have said that in my mind. Youre good at what youre doing too.


    Have you said that in your mind when we were having sex? Nian Junting asked calmly.


    Luosang had no choice but to respond awkwardly, I have. Youre good at having sex as well.


    So you like having sex with me, dont you? Nian Junting abruptly raised his eyebrows.


    That was a little off-topic, wasnt it? Luosang thought.


    Im going to sleep. Luosangy down and turned around.


    Nian Junting put down theptop and pressed his body against hers, put his arms around her, and said, Luo, I want you to be nice to me in a unique way.


    Junting, I can only tell you what I have with you is unique indeed. Luosang turned, looked him in the eyes and said, Youre the one Im going to share my life with while Liuxi is my family. In the future, hell marry a girl that he loves, while I will grow old together with you. Well be two grey-haired old people, holding hands, walking under the setting sun.


    Nian Junting pictured that scene and found it very beautiful. Suddenly he felt much better.


    Thats right, but I dont like you peeling shrimps for him, and I dont like you watching films with him even more.


    Alright, I wont go, Luosangughed.


    Liuxi was so young and handsome, so he must have a lot of suitors. In fact, Luosang doubted that he would ever have time to watch a film with his sister. After all, many girls would want to date him.


    Luosang said, Also, you were really shameless today. You called my mother Mom so many times, and called my father uncle. You used to call him Dad. Arent you afraid that my father might found out about that?


    Nian Junting showed no sign of shame. On the contrary, he even raised an eyebrow when responding to her. Your father wont care. I guess he only cares about your mother now. You see, when your fatheres out of prison and finds that your mother is still so young and pretty, will he have any spare energy to think about you and me?


    Luosang paused briefly. She thought about it and found that he was right.


    She asked, What do you mean? Are you saying that my father looks much older than my mother?


    What do you think? He threw the question back.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. Before, Xu Zhengxuan looked not bad, but after he went to prison, his hair had be grey.


    And your father is mild, while your mother is strong. So basically, as long as your mother likes me, your father will have no problem with me, Nian Junting added.


    He had no other choice but to sacrifice his dear future father-inw. Luosang stayed silent.


    Youre so sneaky, she thought.


    No wonder you even brought the bride price today. How much money did you put in it? Luosang suddenly recalled. She hurriedly found the red envelope from the drawer and took the card out of it. It was actually a normal debit card and looked new.


    Em, its new. I put a thousand yuan on it.


    A thousand?


    Did she mishear? Her bride price was just a thousand?


    Yeah, Nian Junting repliednguidly, You have all my other cards and money. I knew that your mother wouldnt take it. Even if she did, shed immediately give it to you.


    Luosang honestly didnt know what to say. She thought that he had put hundreds of millions on that card but it turned out that she was overthinking.


    Give it back to me. Nian Junting took the card back from her hand.


    Thats my bride price, Luosang found it both funny and annoying.


    We share everything now. Nian Junting made himself sound very reasonable.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond.


    Next morning, before going to work, Nian Junting turned and said to Luosang, dont go out these days.


    My mom willeter to see the house nearby. I want to go with her, Luosang responded with a sleepy voice. Well be right in the neighborhood. Well be fine.


    Alright, just dont leave the neighborhood. Nian Junting thought for a moment and then said, I heard your mother mention Yi Jingxi yesterday. He went missing, but I feel that he mighte to find you.


    Luosang stayed silent at first. A short whileter, she said, Why? Theres nothing left to say between us.


    Nian Junting silently gave her a nce. Sometimes, she couldnt tell what a man might think.


    At10am, Mo Jin arrived. She and Luosang walked to the house that Nian Junting talked about together. That house was only 100 meters away from Nian Juntings. It was a three-story vi, brand-new and finished in traditional Chinese style. The nts in the garden were thriving.


    The realtor said, This house was just finished a year ago. The owner needs to move out of the country. Thats why he put the house on sale at a low price. You live in the neighborhood too so I believe I dont need to mention how good the environment and the management are. To be honest, this ce cant be considered as the best vi in Xia City, but it is the mostfortable one.


    Mom, what do you think? Luosang asked.


    Anywhere near you is good, Mo Jin smiled.


    Luosang and her mother shared the same idea, so they soon reached an agreement.


    They didnt put in an offer immediately, because Nian Junting told Luosang to let him talk to the realtor about the price. After all, she and her mother did not really know about the house prices in the neighborhood, so some people might take advantage of them. Therefore, after deciding to buy the house, they left the realtor.


    They returned to the vi and had lunch. Sister Lan received a phone call after lunch. Then she started to say something to Luosang a few times, but didnt finish.


    At first, Luosang didnt notice it. Butter, she saw her whisper to Steward Wu a few times. Sister Lan, whats wrong?


    Sister Lan hesitated for a while then said, the security people said that a young man is at the front entrance asking to see you. Earlier, Young Master warned the security people, so they have been rigorously guarding the entrance. They didnt allow him in and told him to leave. He refused to leave and stood outside in the sun. Steward Wu just went out and took a look at the guy, and then found a picture of Yi Jingxi online andpared it to him. We think its him out there.


    Luosang frowned. Nian Junting had guessed right.


    Have you told Junting about it?


    Yes. Young Master told you to ignore him. Just let him stand there, said Steward Wu.


    Luosang nced at the sunlight out there. It was in the middle of the day and the sun was scorching the earth. Standing in the sun for a long time might really give someone heat exhaustion.


    I think you can let hime in. Itll be okay for you to see him, said Mo Jin. There are bodyguards in the vi so you have nothing to be afraid of. And I think he might be here to end things with you this time if he still has some conscience.


    Luosang sneered, Does he have any conscience? Earlier in court, I presented the evidence. Anyone who has any sense of shame would have admitted the crime. Mom, some people who have climbed to high ces tend to cling onto the money and power in their hands forever, and by any means. He did what he did not only for revenge, but also to keep the wealth and power that he had.


    Mo Jin took a sip of the iced coffee and said, I told you to see him, not because I pity him, I dont pity him at all. Honestly, his life has been ruined by Chu Lei. Chu Lei lied to him. I dont know what exactly that lie was, but what Im trying to say is that if your father hadnt messed around with Chu Lei, he wouldnt have hurt you for no reason.

 Chapter 821. It Cant Be That… Your Mum Had a Baby With My Dad

    Chapter 821. It Can''t Be That�� Your Mum Had a Baby With My Dad


    Luosang frowned. Mum, I understand that you really hate dad, but I asked him about it. He didnt


    I dont really want to know how far he went with Chu Lei. Mo Jin cut her off saying. But back then, all the neighbors, even other teachers and students, saw how he and Chu Lei went everywhere together; everyone knew. If he was using Chu Lei to provoke me, then he was just using her feelings. Its no wonder that Chu Lei hates him. You should understand the truth.


    Honestly, if she hadnt seen the despair in Yi Jingxis eyes that day, she might not have said these words.


    Luosang grew silent.


    All right, I should leave. Mo Jin put her cup down and stood up.


    Mum. Are you not curious at all about what happened back then? Luosang couldnt hold back and blurted out, In these twenty years, dad didnt look for any other woman, nor did he remarry. Thats why I believe what he said. There must be a misunderstanding between the two of them. When you were young, you did things that hurt each other because you cared so much.


    I dont care what reasons he had. What I remember about my life, is that after I gave birth to you, after 9 long months of pregnancy, I was at the receiving end of your grandmothers eye rolls and disdain. Your father hid away at school while you cried every night and refused to sleep.


    While I was tired to my bones, your father brought another woman in and out of public events. While I was pregnant with Liuxi, another woman sent me an intimate photo of herself with your father to provoke me. I was upset and said that I didnt want the child anymore, then your father locked me upstairs. He didnt understand me. As a woman, how could I bear to abort my own child? Luosang, I hate him. Ive never hated a man so much. In your eyes, he may be a good father, but when I look at him, I want to kill him along with myself.


    Mo Jin left after she finished.


    Luosang sat alone for a long time before asking Steward Wu to call Yi Jingxi over.


    Five minutester, she received a call from Nian Junting. You better protect your lips. Dont get kissed by him again.


    You should also ask your bodyguard to aplish something. Dont spend the money and end up not being able to do anything, Luosang retaliated.


    Nian Junting felt depressed. Dont worry. Ill definitely ask my bodyguards to make sure Yi Jingxi is unable to be within a three-meter radius of you.


    Luosang bent her head and smiled.


    When Yi Jingxi walked in, he saw the girl he loved, wearing loosely fitted, pure-white pajamas while sitting on a dark green leather sofa imported from Italy. She looked like she was being well taken care of. Her ivory white skin was so soft that it looked like dew could drip out from it. Her cheeks gained a bit more baby fat since thest time he saw her, but that didnt affect her beauty. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to emit light.


    His footsteps halted. He gazed at her from a distance.


    When she discovered his presence, her smile disappeared, and her gaze became guarded and cold.


    A wave of pain that was almost suffocating overcame his heart. With difficulty, he moved his long legs to walk over.


    Only, he was stopped by bodyguards before he could reach her.


    Luosang hung up the phone and was a little surprised when she saw him. He must not have slept for days. His eyes were bloodshot, his chin was full of stubble, and his eyes were gloomy; his whole person was dispirited. There was a world of difference from back at the vacation resort.


    Only, she had no sympathy for him.


    Luosang spoke first saying, Have you heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf? Youve lied to me many times. This is thest chance Im giving you. I hope that you will note to see me in the future.


    Yi Jingxi moved his cracked lips with difficultly saying, Sangsang, I want to talk to you in private for a while.


    His eyes were full of sincerity.


    Do you think thats possible? Luosang asked. Im currently pregnant. Who knows if you would give me a sudden push.


    Yi Jingxis gazended on her belly. Although he had already heard about her pregnancy, he still felt needles piercing his heart.


    He had no one to me for this, except himself.


    If we hadnt got divorced, we might also have children by now, he said distractedly with red-rimmed eyes.


    Luosangs gaze spoke of impatience. Why did youe today? If it is to reminisce, Im not interested in listening.


    Yi Jingxi felt dejected. I I want to give myself up. I came to see you. There are some things that I want to tell you.


    Luosang was visibly surprised. You are willing to confess? You are willing to give up the riches you have now?


    Yi Jingxis face got hot; he wanted to hide in a hole. He took out a card from his pocket and ced it on the coffee table. This is the money your mum spent to buy Xu Groups shares. All of it is in here. Thepany belonged to your family in the first ce. It was me who used despicable methods to snatch your shares. Im returning it to you now, back to its rightful owner.


    Luosang stared at the card without moving. She couldnt believe it.


    About the resort. I n to sell it and give the money to my mum. After all, she is getting old and she doesnt have useful skills. Yi Jingxi appeared sad.


    Luosang hesitated for a moment before asking, Can you tell me why you hated my family so much?


    Yi Jingxis faced paled and his fingers dug into his palms.


    Momentster, he smiled, but with a smile even uglier than crying. That is a joke.


    Instantly, his eyes turned red and tears blurred his vision. It took a while before he calmed down.


    In the past, my mum and dad were together since high school, and my mum became pregnant with me before she even graduated. She didnt have a choice and gave birth to me while she stopped schooling for a year before taking the college entrance examination again. As for my father, because his familys financial situation was not very good, he quit school and started his own business. My parents didnt have a certificate of marriage, but in the eyes of their parents, they were practically married. Their families wanted them to get the certificate after my mum graduated. Then, my mum got into a university in An City. There, she met your dad, and you should also know what happened then.


    Luosang nodded while her heart was in shock. She didnt expect that Chu Lei would still seduce Xu Zhengxuan when she already had a partner and son.


    As for me, I was raised by my grandmother. My dad often came to visit me, so we had a very good rtionship. After, my father was doing well in medical equipment and even started a very good medical equipmentpany. He always loved my mum very much and waited for her graduation. Yet, she said that after she finished year four, she wanted to continue to study for her masters. My dad respected her decision and waited for her. When my mum finished her education and returned to our city, she married my dad. However, when I was ten years old, my father came to An City on a business trip and found out my mum had lost a baby when she was in year four.


    Luosang was stunned and stammered, It cant be that your mum had a baby with my dad.


    It wasnt that she didnt believe Xu Zhengxuan, but Mo Jin said that Chu Lei once sent a photo of her being intimate with Xu Zhengxuan.

 Chapter 822. Sangsang, Im Leaving

    Chapter 822. Sangsang, I''m Leaving


    Yi Jingxi shook his head and said, Thats what I thought at first. Earlier, my mother mentioned to your mother that your father never touched her. I dont know whose child that was.


    Luosang was speechless. Chu Lei was really reckless in her personal life when she was young.


    I guess your father was very angry when he found out, she said.


    Yes, very angry. Yi Jingxi clenched his teeth and said, He loved my mother so much. He gave her all the money he made and listened to every word she said. He never drank or smoke because that was what she asked. After knowing that, his heart was broken. He forced my mother to tell him how she got pregnant. She told him that your father raped her, and that your father threatened to not let her graduate unless she did what your father said.


    Luosang sneered, And your father believed her.


    Yes, he did. He went to question Xu Zhengxuan and my mother didnt know. He stayed in a hotel near the school, but that night the hotel caught fire and he died. Yi Jingxis tears gushed out as he finished talking.


    Luosang was choked with sobs. Thats why you hate my father. You thought if my father didnt hurt your mother, your father would still be alive.


    Yi Jingxi nodded then raised his head and wiped his tears with the back of his hand. Yes. My father loved me so much. He was a very good father yet he died such a miserable death. Ever since he died, I told myself that Id make your father pay. Thats why I showed up in your life, made you fall in love with me. I just didnt know that Id fall for you too. I hesitated, struggled, but still I couldnt forget about my fathers death. So, I had no choice but to sacrifice you.


    I often thought that even though I framed your father, he is guilty indeed, that he did something bad but no one caught him. But now I learned that my mother lied to me. With a lie she pushed me into a hopeless state and ruined my life. Your father had good principles. When we were together, he was very nice to me. He let me work in Xu Group, but when I got familiar with the business, I stole your shares together with the other shareholders. Im sorry, Sangsang. I owe your family too much. Ill turn myself in.


    Hearing that, Luosang stayed silent for a long while. She felt that the whole thing was so ridiculous.


    This was actually something very simple. Clearly, Chu Lei tried to seduce her father but failed. Meanwhile, she was with some other man and was afraid that her husband might find out about it. So she made up a lie. And that lie cost her husbands life and made her son live in hatred.


    She had countless chances to exin but she never did. Maybe she was too much of a coward to do that. How could a woman be so selfish and terrible? She was even worse than Jiang Qifei.


    Didnt you do any background checks before you started carrying out your n? Luosang used him. You firmly believed in your mothers lie.


    Yi Jingxi lowered his head guiltily and said, I hired some people to ask around. They asked your neighbors and some other professors in your fathers school. Those people said that your father was indeed close with Chu Lei. I didnt dig any deeper after that.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Sangsang, Im sorry. Im really sorry. Ive done you too much harm. Yi Jingxi lowered his head in regret. His tears fell on his shoes. And I made your father spend so many years in prison. Ill go to prison to atone for my crime. You take care.


    After saying that, he gazed straight at her, seemed to imprint her face in his mind.


    Luosang felt heartache as well. She really didnt know what to say. She pitied him, but didnt think that he was forgivable.


    Luosang said honestly, I hope you can reflect on yourself in prison. Youre still young after all. If you turn yourself in, the judge will give you a lesser punishment. Dont be like before. Be a big-hearted man. Dont always think that you need to ruin everyone elses happiness because you have lost your own. Dont think that youd rather destroy the things that you cant have. That was just extreme.


    He nned to turn himself in, meaning that he was not entirely bad.


    Can you forgive me then? Yi Jingxis eyes showed a gleam of hope.


    I cant. Luosang shook her head. Think about what have you done to me, how many awful words youve said to me. And you really should apologize to my father. He spent four years in prison for nothing. Hes not young anymore. How many years does he have left?


    I get it, Yi Jingxi replied disappointedly.


    He had hoped for too much. He had made so many mistakes that he could barely count them.


    Sangsang, Im leaving. Take care. Yi Jingxi turned, his tears running off his cheeks.


    Perhaps when he got out of prison, her child would be old enough to go to school.


    She would be the respected Mrs. Nian while he would have nothing. All he could do was to wish her happiness. Wishing happiness to other people was the first thing that he was learning.


    Luosang walked to the door and watched him go away.


    Somehow she suddenly recalled everything that had happened between Yi Jingxi and herself, from how they knew each other, to her falling in love with him, to the breaking up. She was young but felt that she had experienced a lot.


    One hourter, she calmed down and called Mo Jin.


    After hearing what she said, Mo Jin stayed silent for a long while then responded with, If nothing happened between your father and Chu Lei at all, he would not have been framed.


    She ended the call after saying that. Lusoang sighed. She couldnt tell if her father was unlucky, or if he deserved what he was suffering now.


    Back then, he had only tried to make Mo Jin angry, but unexpectedly, what he did caused a lot of trouble that came back to haunt him many yearster.


    At half-past five, Nian Junting came quickly home from work.


    Junting. Luosang put her arms around his neck and said, Im in a bad mood.


    Nian Junting hadnt been there but the security people watched the whole process and had reported to him long ago.


    He felt rather speechless at the reasons that Yi Jingxi gave. He could only say that Yi Jingxi was so unlucky that he had such an awful mother. He never liked his own father, but at the very least his father didnt put him in prison. With that thought, he suddenly felt that Nian Qingyun was rather nice.


    Think about something happy. Your father ising out of prison. Nian Junting put an arm around her andforted her.


    Em Luosang was still upset.


    Nian Junting lowered his head, looked at her, and said, Youre not feeling sorry for the failed rtionship between you and Yi Jingxi, are you?


    No, Im not. Luosang shook her head and said, I just feel that some people are so evil.


    Nian Junting thought for a second then said, Sometimes, making a mistake isnt a bad thing. The really bad thing is that some peopleck the courage to admit the mistakes that they made so they make more and more mistakes. Chu Lei thought that she could run away from the mistakes that she made when she was young by hiding in a nursing home for the rest of her life. Yi Jingxi tried to punish someone else but found out that he targeted the wrong person. He was wrong too. If everyone tried to solve their issues with other people in their own ways, society would be chaotic. What are the police and thew for?

 Chapter 823. Twelve OClock, Its My Birthday

    Chapter 823. Twelve O''Clock, It''s My Birthday


    He deserved the punishment he was getting. ording to criminalw, cases like his would be sentenced to a minimum of three years and a maximum of seven years in jail. If he gave himself up and performed well in jail, he would be released after five years at the most.


    Luosang nodded. Only, its a shame that people like Chu Lei cannot go to jail.


    We cant do anything about that. She did not break thew, only said some words. Those kinds of people are the worst. But she is probably going to lose her son forever, so she wont be very happy in this lifetime.


    Stop overthinking. Lets just peacefully wait for Yi Jingxi to give himself up and hope there wont be another curveball.


    Its no use, even if he changes his mind. I voice recorded our entire conversation today, Luosang said.


    Nian Junting was slightly surprised. He was impressed and gave her cheeks a pinch. Not bad. Youve grown smarter.


    Luosang red at him unhappily. All right. She admitted that she had been stupid on some asions. But everything was about to be over.


    Tell me. My birthday is the day after tomorrow. Have you prepared my present? Nian Junting wound his arms around her shoulder.


    Instantly, Luosangs expression turned awkward. The previous time I went to the mall to prepare something, I bumped into Jiang Qifei there and she got me so upset it affected the baby. Didnt the doctor say I cannot leave the house


    You mean that you dont intend to give me a birthday present? Nian Juntings eyes narrowed. Luo, this is the first birthday we are spending together, and its my thirtieth birthday. You must give me a present.


    Luosang rubbed her belly. Doesnt this count as a present?


    Nian Junting lightly retorted saying, Youve been pregnant for three months now and Ive known about it for ages, and you still bring it up?


    Luosang lowered her head dejectedly.


    You have to give me a present, but it doesnt have to be big, Nian Junting reiterated. You can also send someone else to buy it. I dont have any requirement. Ill like anything that you give me. Also, you cannot give me things you already have before, such as scarves, snow boots, etc.


    You cant give me clothes either, I have a lot.


    Who was it that said he had no requirement?


    Just before he was about to fall asleep, Nian Junting received a call. Luosang was also drifting off to sleep when she heard him talking solemnly on the phone. Ill go ask her shes being ridiculous.


    Who provoked you? Luosang woke up and asked nonchntly.


    Nian Xi. Nian Juntings expression was dark. She applied for a transfer to the police detective task force without telling me. My mum just called me about it.


    Luosang was stunned.


    No matter how little she knew about police, she understood the difference between civil police and police detectives. In essence, civil police maintained public safety and order. They were sent to wherever they were called to. On the other hand, police detectives had to conduct investigative work on crimes, and even solve big cases like drugs, terrorism, and the mafia. It was rtively more dangerous.


    I previously told her to change her career to a prosecutor orwyer, but she wouldnt listen. Now, she is even going to the police detective team. She really doesnt let me have a moment of peace.


    Nian Junting was upset. Actually, she has been performing well recently. However, Ive instructed the people at the station not to let the higher-ups transfer her towards criminal justice. She also promised me that she will quietly stay at the police station handling small cases. Now, shes going back on her word. What angers me most is that my father actually agreed this time. He must be crazy. He only has one daughter. What if an ident happens?


    Luosang was silent for a while before saying, Could it be because Feng Ji Chuan entered the police force, and if she enters the police detective team, she will have more opportunities to meet Ji Chuan in the future?


    At her words, Nian Juntings face became clouded and he grew silent.


    The next morning, Nian Junting drove to the police station without even eating breakfast.


    Nian Xi had only just put on her uniform and sat down when her office door was kicked open. Nian Junting marched in, his expression tight. Why didnt you tell me about you applying to the police detective team? If you find your current job too mundane, your chief has already told me that you will be promoted at the end of this year. When you make this kind of decision, have you considered mums feelings? She was so anxious; she was going crazyst night.


    Mum looked for mest night. Ive made up my mind. Nian Xi calmly put on her police beret. Im not bored of these mundane tasks; I just really want to be a police detective


    Dont talk to me about this nonsense, Nian Junting said coldly.


    Is it because Ji Chuan entered the police force and is in charge of the police detectives, that you want to transfer over?


    Nian Junting was stunned. No. Ive had this thought for a while; Ive even exined it to dad.


    Dad probably agreed because he wants you to have more opportunities toe into contact with Ji Chuan, Nian Junting said, Ji Chuan still holds you closely in his heart. Give him any sort of hint, and you guys have a chance of reconciling any time


    Ive already said that I want to go over to the police detective team a long time ago, but all of you wont listen to me. Now that Ive polished my skills in the police station for many years, I now have some experience and capital. I believe that I can take on this job.


    Nian Xi stood up. I admit that I initially did this job because of Ji Chuan, but Ive grown to like being a cop. Ill protect myself properly, not for myself, but for my family. I have to go on patrol now. After this month, Ill be going to the police detective team. You should stop bothering me.


    Nian Xi


    Nian Junting grabbed her arm.


    Nian Xi suddenly blinked at him and said, What? Didnt you always just see me as a de of grass? You wont suddenly tell me that you love me very much, would you?


    Im sorry. I cant say those kinds of mushy and disgusting words while looking at your face, Nian Junting said.


    Whats wrong with my face? Nian Xi was incredibly frustrated.


    Remember toe for my birthday tomorrow, Nian Junting said.


    Mm.


    Ji Chuan will being too. Nian Junting added.


    Nian Xi turned away. What present do you want?


    It doesnt matter. Its not a present from Luo anyways. Im not very concerned about anything else.


    Nian Xi didnt want to see him for even a moment longer. However, the thought of seeing Ji Chuan the next day made her feel troubled.


    After she left, Nian Junting helplessly sank into deep thought. Since he couldnt persuade her, he could only contact the people of her team to let her do some analysis and research in the office.


    It was a silent night.


    Since bing pregnant, for the sake of the babys health, Luosang had maintained a regr sleep schedule. Tonight, she was in a deep sleep when she was suddenly woken up.


    She groggily opened her eyes. Nian Juntings handsome face was right in front of her. Luo Luo


    Mm whats wrong?


    The clock just turned twelve. Its my birthday, Nian Junting said, reminding her grudgingly.


    Mm, happy birthday.


    Luosang was incredibly sleepy. She turned around and closed her eyes again.

 Chapter 824. My Dear Tingting, I Wish You Happy Birthday, and Become Uglier and Uglier

    Chapter 824. My Dear Tingting, I Wish You Happy Birthday, and Be Uglier and Uglier


    After a short sleep, she realized that Nian Junting woke her up only to hear her say happy birthday.


    She turned, gave Nian Junting a re, then said, I know that today is your birthday, but do you have to wake me up for that? Im a pregnant woman.


    Nian Junting was looking at his phone. Hearing her words, he gave her a nce and said to her, How can you say that? Other people have wished me happy birthday, only you havent.


    Im sleeping in the same bed with you. Do you have to push me so hard for that? Sheined silently.


    She wasnt as sleepy as before. Noticing that Nian Juntings phone was buzzing all the time, she got up from the bed and moved to him to see who was sending him messages. She found that many people were messaging him, including Xiao Si, Feng Ji Chuan, An Lan, and Nian Xi. Perhaps she really should have wished him a happy birthday earlier. However, as a pregnantdy, she was always tired and sleepy.


    You are not staying up only to hear me wish you happy birthday, are you? She asked.


    Is that even possible? Nian Junting gave her a proud nce and said, Every year, there was always a bunch of people wishing me happy birthday on WeChat. Those messages would wake me up anyway, so I didnt go to sleep earlier. Well, sometimes, being too popr can really bring you some small problems. You wouldnt understand. After all, you only have one good friend, Yan Su.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    Damn you. I know its your birthday and that youre proud, but you dont need to touch someone elses sore spot just to brag about yourself, she thought.


    Chi Shengxu was my good friend. You are too strict on me so I lost many male friends, said Luosang unhappily.


    Youre not popr. Dont me others for that.


    Luosang gave up arguing with him. She opened Xiaosis message on Nian Juntings phone My dear Tingting, I wish you happy birthday, and that you get uglier and uglier, and be abandoned by Sangsang every single day, and lose every game you y.


    Alright, that is the worst friend in the world, she thought.


    CEO Nian replied to himThank you, I wish you are single forever.


    Luosang didnt say anything but pulled up her nket and went to sleep.


    Next morning, when Nian Junting got up, Luosangzily took out her phone from her drawer to check her friends WeChat moments.


    00:05, CEO Nian made a postLuo woke me up at twelve and whispered in my ear, Happy birthday, my dear husband. I want to celebrate your every birthday together with you.I feel so happy. This birthday is meant to be different.


    A series ofments were left under that post.


    Xiao SiWhy dont I believe you?


    Nian XiAre you sure it wasnt you waking my sister-inw up?


    Murong ChengAre you sure you didnt wake up Sangsang instead?


    Mo LiuxiWho allowed you to sleep in the same bed with Xu Luosang?


    Mo Jin Mo Liuxi, call her sister. Dont make me hit you.


    Ji NuanyiHappy birthday, Mr. Nian.


    Yan SuHappy Birthday, Mr. Nian. Please dont forget that Sangsang should avoid all kinds of intense exercise just now.


    Sister LanYoung Master, happy birthday. Please let Sangsang sleep.


    CEP Nian replied everyoneThank you all for your good wishes. Some people are mean to me because they are jealous of me. I wont mention their names.


    Luosang dropped her phone. She felt speechless.


    She went downstairs and unexpectedly found that Nian Junting wasnt there.


    She asked Sister Lan where he was and she told her that he went to work.


    She called him and said, Working on your birthday?


    I have to. You have identally be the daughter of an heir of the Morrison Family. I need to work hard, to earn more money so I can match you, Nian Juntingughed. Ill pick you up at eleven. Well have lunch at Yuzhen Restaurant. Ive invited your mother and Liuxi so theyll be there.


    Oh, alright. Luosang paused briefly, then said, Your WeChat post


    I have lots of work to do, see you.


    Nian Junting ended the call.


    Standing beside him, Lu Kang said, Mr. Nian, no work is so urgent. You still have the time to talk to Miss. Xu.


    I am a man who can clearly distinguish between working time and personal time, Nian Junting responded bluntly, then turned on hisputer, showing his cold side to Lu Kang.


    Lu Kang didnt know how to respond.


    Who reads astrology books and sweet-talking strategies at work? Lu Kang thought. You can never be too shameless.


    At eleven oclock, Luosang got into the Maybach. She was wearing a pleated dress and her hair was coiled into a bun. She looked adorable and also sexy. No one could tell that she was over three months pregnant.


    Recently she always wore pajamas and T-shirts at home. Nian Junting hadnt seen her so well dressed in quite a while, so seeing her, his eyes glowed.


    Luo, is this my birthday surprise? he said.


    Yeah, you see, I changed my clothes a couple of times before leaving home. Can I not give you a present? Luosang joked.


    In your dreams, said Nian Junting.


    Luosang snorted, Your WeChat post


    Before she finished, Nian Junting pulled her closer and whispered to her, Lu Kang is driving. Dont embarrass me.


    Luosang was speechless. You dont want embarrassed, huh? Why didnt you think about that when you made up that lie? She thought.


    However, she decided to turn a blind eye as it was his birthday.


    Are you sure that the lunch will be peaceful? Luosang sighed. Nian Family, Murong Family, Mo Jin and Mo Liuxi would be together. That sounded veryplicated.


    It has to be. Ill talk about our wedding. Nian Junting held her hand and said, You are pregnant. We cant postpone the wedding any longer or your family might be unhappy.


    Luosang nodded. She was still nervous though.


    In the VIP room in the restaurant, Murong Cheng, Murong Ze and his wife arrived first. Sitting beside Murong Cheng was a gentle-looking man wearing sses. He was a middle-aged man but looked very healthy and energetic. Sitting together, Murong Cheng and him looked like a perfect couple.


    Luosang was surprised to see him.


    Murong Cheng introduced him to Nian Junting and Luosang, This is Jiang Yi. Junting, I think you know him.


    Ive heard so much about you. Nian Junting shook hands with him and said, Uncle Jiang, Ive read a lot of your books about finance when I first entered the financial industry. You have very unique viewpoints.


    I was being an armchair strategist, while you are doing a really good job in the business world. Jiang Yi gave a smile.


    Yu Wen said, I wouldnt sit together with Nian Family people if its not your thirtieth birthday.


    Alright, the guests will be arriving soon, Murong Ze reminded her.


    Before long, Xiao Si arrived. After him, came Mo Jin and Mo Liuxi.


    Nian Junting introduced them to the others. Looking at Mo Liuxi, Murong Cheng couldnt stop smiling. Sangsang, your brother is so pretty. When I was pregnant with Junting, I wanted a pretty boy too. But in the end, I had a naughty son.


    My son was naughty too. Mo Jin gave an awkward smile.

 Chapter 825. Do You Want Me to Find a Scientist for You Somewhere

    Chapter 825. Do You Want Me to Find a Scientist for You Somewhere


    Yu Wen assessed Mo Liuxi. Lad, you dont have a girlfriend yet, do you? Granny can introduce one to you.


    Luosang:


    Mo Liuxi: Granny, Im only twenty.


    Its alright, you can date first. Yu Wen hadnt seen such a good-lookingd in a long time, and even rarer was his limitless potential at such a young age. Many of her old friends granddaughters were still single.


    Xiao Si involuntarily blurted out, Granny, why have you not suggested introducing someone to me?


    This world is one that judges the face, Yu Wen retorted.


    Even if people judged by the face, so what? He was pretty good-looking too.


    Back in the day, he was even praised by Ji Nuanyi on how his dimples looked good when he smiled.


    Lad, what type of girls do you like? Yu Wen continued asking Mo Liuxi.


    Ive never thought about it. Mo Liuxis gaze was disinterested. Dating wastes too much time. I might as well watch a movie at home.


    Luosang made a profound realization that her brother was a hermit.


    Right after, the Nian family also arrived. They had more people including the grandfather, grandmother, Nian Qingshan and his family, Nian Qingyun and also Nian Xi.


    The first thing Nian Qingyun saw when he walked in was Jiang Yi beside Murong Cheng; he instantly started spitting mes of jealousy.


    Murong Cheng, how could you bring a random guy to your sons birthday party? Utterly ridiculous.


    Murong Cheng gave him a cool nce. He isnt a random guy; he is my boyfriend.


    You arent embarrassed saying boyfriend at your age? Nian Qingyun was so angry that his body became unbnced.


    He was originally looking forward to finally seeing her. Who knew that the moment he came, he would be provoked till he felt as if a hole had been pierced through his chest?


    Yu Wen got angry. Youve hindered my daughters prospects and she hasnt had a significant other for so many years. Now that she is finally divorced, remarrying is only a matter of time. You cant expect her to spend the rest of her life alone.


    Who said that she is alone? I arent I a person too? Nian Qingyun mustered his courage and rmended himself.


    Nian Junting was right to scold him before. He was too stupid in the past. He should have tried to fight for her a long time ago, instead of just thinking that she would eventually return to him.


    You? Yu Wenughed coldly. Ill never let my daughter reconcile with you.


    Aunty dont be mad. The doctor said that your blood pressure was a little high. You cant get too agitated. Zeng Tie demurely filled her teacup.


    Ah, Jiang, you really are very considerate. Yu Wen hurriedly drank a sip of tea with a joyous expression.


    When he saw the way her expression changed, Nian Qingyun felt as if he received a heavy blow. He then noticed that Murong Cheng was no longer looking at him, but talking to a woman beside her, and he was instantly ovee by jealousy. His whole person became uneasy.


    Dad, this is Luosangs mother, Nian Junting said.


    Nian Qingyun nodded distractedly and said, Hello Mrs. Xu.


    Mo Jins face turned ck. Excuse me, Mr. Nian. Ive divorced Xu Zhengxuan a long time ago.


    Nian Qingyun was momentarily stunned.


    He could vaguely recall such an incident, but he was too agitated to deal with other issues, so he only nonchntly nodded his head before he sat down and watched Jiang Yi closely with a cold expression.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes, then moved forward with a big smile to warmly grab Mo Jins hands. You must be my sister-inws mother. You are really pretty, and you look a lot like her; no wonder she is so pretty. Aunty, thank you for giving me such a brilliant sister-inw.


    Mo Jin had heard from Luosang that Nian Junting had a sister. This must be her. The girl was dressed in a police uniform and also possessed an undisguisable handsomeness that she quite liked.


    I heard that youve taken care of our Luosang on many asions. I want to thank you for that. Mo Jin returned a smile.


    Sangsang is not only my sister-inw, but also my friend. Thats a given.


    Once again, Nian Xi smiled and patted Mo Liuxis shoulder. Hi handsome, do you still remember me?


    Hello. Mo Liuxi nodded slightly.


    Call her big sister, said Mo Jin.


    Big sister, said Mo Liuxi.


    Luosang was amused as she discovered that her younger brother really disliked saying, big sister.


    Youre so cute. That was incredibly charming. Nian Xi moved forward to squish his cheeks. Its been a long time since Ive met such a prettyd.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Feng Ji Chuan walked in to witness what was happening. His eyebrows unconsciously knitted together.


    The old grandpa red at Nian Xi. Watch your behavior. You cannot touch a boys face so casually.


    Whats wrong with that? I treat him like my younger brother, Nian Xi said, pouting.


    Luosang smiled. Liuxi is pretty, but thed they brought home thest time is not bad either.


    Which youngd? Grandma Nians interest was perked.


    Incredibly graceful Luosang said.


    Ji Chuan, Xiao Si called suddenly.


    The words died on Luosangs tongue. She turned around and realized that at some time, Feng Ji Chuan came to stand behind her; his expression was serene.


    Feng Ji Chuan extended the gift in his hands towards Nian Junting. Birthday present. I wasnt sure of what would be a good gift, but I just bought something anyhow.


    Thank you. Have a seat. Nian Junting pointed to the empty chair next to Xiao Si.


    Feng Ji Chuan greeted everyone before taking his seat. Nian Qingyun nced at him before abashedly taking up the topic Luosang was on previously. Thed you mentioned, Ive met him, and Ive also made some inquiries. Nianxi and him are just friends, isnt that right Nianxi?


    Nianxi was bending her head down to pick up a piece of pickled radish from the table. Hearing that someone was talking to her, she raised her head as if waking up from a dream, and casually replied, I cant be sure of that since the future is full of possibilities, isnt it?


    Nian Qingyun had originally intended to smooth things over.


    After all, she was his daughter. He knew that she wasnt over Feng Ji Chuan and he wanted to give her a way out, but in the end, he backed her into a further corner.


    When all chances of reconciliation were killed, she would have a lot to cry over.


    Feng Ji Chuan also sat silently and didntment.


    However, Murong Cheng felt ufortable watching and added, Didnt I introduce many potential partners to you recently? Each one of them is an elite; they are also handsome and charming. They are quite taken by you. Who do you prefer?


    None of them are good enough for me, Nian Xi said after swallowing a pickled radish.


    Murong Cheng was speechless. She wanted to say that her daughtercked a brain sometimes. Nian Xi should have yed along to provoke Feng Ji Chuan and make him regret.


    Not good enough for you? What more do you want then? Do you want me to find a scientist for you somewhere? Murong Cheng thoughtlessly retorted out of anger.


    Ahem. Nian Qingyun choked on his tea.

 Chapter 826. Her Families Defended Her

    Chapter 826. Her Families Defended Her


    I only mentioned scientists. Why did you get so emotional? Nian Junting nced at his father.


    No, nothing. Nian Qingyun waved his hand with a weird look. I respect scientists, but I dont like those men who always stay inbs doing scientific research. I can never keep sitting for that long.


    Nian Xi curved her lips downward and said, Isnt today my brothers birthday? Why do you keep talking about me? Just let my brother get married first.


    Hmm, Murong Cheng nodded then said to Mo Jin, Ms. Mo, I like Sangsang. Their rtionship has been stable. I think they should get married this year.


    Mo Jin smiled silently. She hadnt sat here for long but she could already tell that Morong Cheng had no issue with Luosang. However, the Nian Family people might not be the same.


    At that moment, staying silent was her best choice. If she agreed with Murong Cheng, the others might think that she was eager to marry her daughter to Nian Justing and that would make her daughter seem cheap. The people from the Nian Family were definitely proud.


    Whats the rush? As she expected, Nian Juntings grandpas voice was immediately heard. She hasnt even finished school yet. Besides, theyve only been together for a couple of months.


    Nian Qingshan agreed. My father is right. Besides, Miss. Xu, you are still working on your fathers case, arent you? Your father is still in prison so I dont think now is the right time for you to get married.


    His wife added, Thats right. Last time, that crazy woman named Zhong Yi attacked us. I think Yi Jingxi is a crazy person too. Hes been targeting Miss. Xu all the time. We are not afraid of him, its just that we dont know what that psycho is thinking.


    The smile on Mo Jins face faded.


    Nian Junting had expected that. He stayedposed and replied with, No matter what you say, I will get married for sure. Im nning to get married at the beginning of October. Sangsang will have a vacation at that time. Besides, her belly is getting bigger and bigger. At the end of this year she wouldnt fit in a wedding dress.


    You are His grandpa paused briefly, then continued, What did you say? Her belly is getting bigger?


    Murong Cheng was surprised as well. She hurriedly dragged her son aside and asked, Is Sangsang pregnant?


    Nian Junting proudly raised his eyebrows then showed four fingers and said, About four months.


    Really?


    Murong Cheng was so surprised and happy. Why didnt you tell us earlier?


    I was waiting for you to all get together so I dont need to inform you one by one. Nian Junting faced the Nian Family people coldly, Grandpa, since I was a kid, youve been telling me that a man should be responsible for society and his family. I will be responsible for my child and my woman. You will support me, wont you?


    His grandpa didnt even know what to say.


    He had never liked Luosang, especially after she almost got his wife killed. But now she was pregnant. A child of the Nian Family could not be a homeless child. That child had to be a part of the family.


    Marry her. Nian Juntings grandma abruptly joined the conversation.


    Dear Nian Juntings grandpa gave her a re and said, Have you forgotten what happenedst time?


    Mo Jin dropped her chopsticks and said coldly, Your family is respected in Xia City, but dont make it sound like my daughter has to marry into your family. To be honest, my daughter is young but now she owns a filmpany. My property will belong to her in the future. Plenty of outstanding men would want to marry her. As for the child, we can afford to raise the child by ourselves. But in that case, you people wouldnt be able to see the child.


    Nian Juntings grandpas expression changed slightly. What do you mean? Can she have the child all by herself? The child doesnt belong to her alone.


    Mo Liuxi snorted coldly then said, Your family only gave a sperm and now you dont want Nian Justing to marry her. Do you want to have the child without paying any price? What do you think Xu Luosang is? A breeding machine to carry on your family line? Do you think you can bully her because she had no family to speak for her?


    Luosang felt heartened.


    Before, she was always alone when facing Nian Family people. Nian Junting was standing by her side but she was still afraid. She worried that he might choose his family over her. After all, it was his family.


    But now her own family was guarding her. That felt so good.


    Nian Juntings grandpa was so angry.


    Normally everyone he met would be extra polite to him. But today, Luosangs families argued with him over and over again and made him lose face.


    I will surely marry your sister. Nian Justing nced at Mo Liuxi then said, If they dont want toe to the wedding, they wont be invited.


    Thats right, Yu Wen hurriedly agreed. Knowing that Luosang was pregnant, she was so happy. I have spare time to help you with babysitting. You can all move into Feng Garden. We have plenty of rooms.


    Nian Juntings grandma smiled and said, Youre very healthy and energetic, even though youre already over seventy. We will also take care of the child. Like I just said, Junting will marry Luosang. Every child is a treasure of the parents. Junting will marry her and we will give her a perfect wedding.


    Nian Junting looked at Murong Cheng and nodded. My father was unhappy about what happened to my motherst time. Its not because he doesnt like Luosang. Since our son is getting married, you should be in charge of the wedding. Youre his mother after all. Ill help too. Ill be your assistant. Hes our only son, right? We must give him a perfect wedding. The wedding has to be good enough to match the Nian Familys reputation. The Murong Family will have many guests as well, so itll be important to you too.


    The other people were all surprised. Jiang Yi frowned slightly and moved his lips.


    You dont want to help with my sons wedding too, do you? Nian Qingyun said to him, Thatll be inappropriate. Hes not your son after all.


    Jiang Yis face twitched slightly.


    Nian Juntings grandpa gave Nian Qingyun a re. He knew exactly what his son was nning.


    To win back his wife, he was even making use of his own sons wedding.


    Nian Junting knew that clearly too, but he was toozy to mention it.


    It didnt matter to him whether his parents would help to manage his wedding or not. However, they had to pay the bill for his wedding. He was able to afford the wedding by himself, but that wouldnt be the same thing for Luosang.


    Murong Cheng also understood what Nian Qingyun was trying to do. She said bluntly, You only need to show up at our sons wedding and prepare the money. As for the other tasks, you dont need to worry about them.


    Nian Qingyun responded, That cannot happen. Junting is my only precious son. I need to ensure every detail of his wedding is right. We can gain experience from nning his wedding and next time, when Nian Xi gets married, well be able to n her wedding better.


    Hearing that, Nian Xi wanted to throw up. Precious son? How could he even say that? Sometimes, he treated his son like dog poop. In order to create an excuse to get close to Murong Cheng, he waspletely shameless.


    Murong Cheng opened her mouth to show her discontent.


    Before she said anything, Nian Qingyun continued, You are going to do something for your sons wedding, arent you? Luosangs mother is sitting right here. We need to be responsible for the wedding.

 Chapter 827. He Only Prepared a Thousand Dollars, He Was So Thick-Skinned to Lie About It

    Chapter 827. He Only Prepared a Thousand Dors, He Was So Thick-Skinned to Lie About It


    Murong Cheng red at him. Of course I will be involved. In fact, Im going to make sure that it will be done properly andvishly.


    Good then. Nian Qingyun looked satisfied.


    Murong Cheng was frustrated. Jiang Yi who was sitting beside her, stroked her hands. Nian Qingyun was overwhelmed with jealousy and stood up abruptly.


    Everyone turned to look at him.


    Im going to the loo. Nian Qingyun promptly left his seat.


    Grandma Nian nudged her grumpy partner and smiled at Mo Jin. Ill look for a good dateter, but Im afraid the wedding will have to be held here since Juntings father is a military man. We wont scrimp on Luosang; the mary gift will be prepared properly.


    Although Mo Jin was not a fan of the old mans attitude, she had to reciprocate the olddys amicable gesture so she replied graciously, Junting already prepared the mary gift.


    Oh really? Grandma Nian turned to look at Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting nodded his head.


    Nian Xi was curious, Wow, brother, how much did you prepare? My sister-inw is worth millions at least.


    Nian Junting looked at her casually, Of course, you didnt need to say that.


    Brother, you are so generous. Nian Xi gave him a thumbs up.


    Luosang rolled her eyes silently in the corner. He only prepared a thousand dors, he was so thick-skinned to lie about it.


    Second Aunt Nian said sourly, You are so amazing, Miss Xu. You wont have to worry about anything for the rest of your life once youre married. Although you have your fathers filmpany back now, you still must worry about whether thepany can support itself. I heard that yourpany isnt doing so well either, a lot of the investment funds pumped into the corporation were lost when Yi Jingxi was managing thepany. Many of the artistes in yourpany are breaking their contracts as well. It would be quite a feat to reorganize thepany, wouldnt it?


    Grandpa Nian was upset again. He seriously doubted Xu Luosang intentions in marrying his grandson, he was certain that she was in it for the money.


    Are you nning to use the mary gift to bnce the ounts?


    He would never allow his grandsons money to be used like that. Luosang could sense what Grandpa Nian was trying to get at and she was displeased.


    Before she could speak, Mo Liuxi answered coldly, So what if she did? Since Xu Luosang is marrying Nian Junting, she is his wife. Isnt it natural for the husband to provide money for the wife to spend? Grandpa Nian, have you never given money to Grandma Nian? Have you never extended your generosity to her rtives in all these years?


    She paused before continuing, Furthermore, we dont care for your money. Im afraid you have not kept up to date with the news, my mother has already transferred ten billion dors to Luoxi Films. We dont need your help.


    Grandpa Nian and Second Aunt Nian looked glum. Although they werent sure what her mother did, they knew that she had money. Little did they know she had so much of it.


    Luosang looked at Mo Liuxi warmly and smiled gently. Call me sister.


    Call me brother, Nian Junting chirped along.


    He couldnt stand the couple.


    Luosang wanted to pinch her brothers cheeks as she watched him twitch with annoyance. She didnt expect him to speak so eloquently at such a young age.


    Grandma Nian looked at Grandpa Nian grumpily and said, No wonder you werent willing to lend me money when my sister was in trouble all those years ago.


    How long ago was that? Grandpa Nian hurried to exin things, Dont you know what kind of person your sister is? We can lend your family money, but wed be really causing her harm if we lent her money.


    Grandma Nian grunted, You patronized me with that then as well. I believed what you said but now I seriously question whether you were just being stingy towards my family.


    Mo Liuxi took a sip of his hot tea and added, Women are always easy to lie to, men are good at crafting lies but one day, the truth is always revealed.


    Watch what youre saying, little brat. Grandpa Nian was furious now. I was only asking, I didnt say anything else, did I?


    Mo Liuxi looked up. Are you saying that my sister can use Nian Juntings money in whichever way she deems fit? Nian Junting is doing the right thing, isnt he?


    Of course not, how could his grandsons money be Xu Luosangs?


    Grandpa Nian looked at him disapprovingly.


    Grandma Nian, seems like your husbands money isnt yours, Mo Liuxi said casually, You must be very obedient to him at home.


    Grandma Nian was stunned, she recalled all the times she gave in to him. He never approved of her purchases and was always stingy, she was getting more and more upset.


    So your wealth was never mine, the olddy said coldly.


    Nian Qingyun watched as the conversation grew and he quickly intervened. Ma, dont fall for their tricks.


    Mo Liuxi chuckled and looked at the Second Aunt. Auntie, may I ask, do you hold the financial power in your household?


    Second Aunt looked ufortable all of a sudden. Of course she didnt, but she wished she did. Nian Qingshan and Nian Qingyun were different, he had his own business and he had plenty of money. He had so much money that even as his wife, she didnt know how much his assets were worth exactly, it always bothered her.


    Ill take that as a no then.


    Mo Liuxi shook his head and looked at Luosang. Sister, you have to grab hold of the financial power in the future. I am a man; I understand how men think. Most of them who dont want to hand over their power are trying to hide their assets. Once they meet a younger, prettier woman, they will abandon their original wife. If they were really in it for life, they wouldnt need to hide their wealth and their bank ounts. There are so many examples out there, women abandoned by their husbands once they are old and yellow.


    Second Aunt started patting her face. She was an old and yellow woman. She red at Nian Qingshan warily.


    Dont listen to his nonsense, Nian Qingshan said angrily, He isnt even married yet, he knows nothing.


    Mo Liuxi lifted his cup nonchntly. I know that when Im married in the future, I would definitely help her family if anything happens. I would hand over my sry and my bank details and include her name on all of our assets.

 Chapter 828. Mo Liuxi is Good at Sowing Discord between People

    Chapter 828. Mo Liuxi is Good at Sowing Discord between People


    I wont argue with her. Ill always put her first. None of the others is as important as she is. Even if she did something wrong, Id say that shes right. If you cant do what Im doing, you dont love her enough.


    Nian Juntings grandmother, Murong Cheng, Nian Xi, and Yu Wen couldnt help but nod. Even Nian Qingshans wife nodded, and then wore an upset face. Every woman wanted a man to protect her like that.


    Among them all, Mo Jin was the only one who put a hand on her forehead silently. She even doubted if Mo Liuxi was really her son. He had no interest in women at all, yet he made a speech like that.


    Liuxi, I cant agree more. Nian Xis eyes glowed. Youre young but youre really the best boy that Ive ever seen. I wish I was a couple of years younger. Id certainly go after you.


    Feng Ji Chuan didnt put her first. Why? Because he didnt love her enough.


    Thank you. Mo Liuxi raised his wine ss. Before he put the ss to his lips, Yu Wen pped him on his shoulder and said, Kid, the daughter of a friend of mine is really a good girl. I have to introduce you two to each other. I havent seen a nice young man like you for many years.


    Murong Cheng smilingly said to him, Why dont you be my godson? I really like you. What do you think, Ms. Mo?


    Mo Jin didnt know what to do. Her son had almost brainwashed these people.


    Nian Junting felt lucky. Thankfully, he had given his bank cards to Luosang long ago. Otherwise Luosang would certainly think that he didnt love her enough.


    Normally Mo Luoxi looked cold and proud. However, he turned out to be an artist at talking, and very good at sowing discord between people. He was also too good at winning the favor ofdies. Within a short while, the whole group of women had grown fond of him. Even his mother wanted him to be her godson.


    Arent we talking about my wedding? He couldnt help but remind those women.


    Yeah, I almost forgot about that. Morong Cheng nodded, then continued talking about the wedding.


    A couple of minutester, Nian Qingyun returned with a sullen face. After a short conversation with the others, he suddenly detected a strange atmosphere among the families. His mother had been ignoring his father, Nian Qingshans wife was focusing on the food silently, like a defeated rooster, without saying a word to Nian Qingshan.


    Facing their wives grievances, Nian Juntings grandfather and Nian Qingshan didnt dare to say anything else. The lunchsted until half-past one.


    Nian Justing escorted the two olddies to their rides.


    Nian Xi needed to work in the afternoon. While heading towards her car, she heard some noises behind her, then turned to find Feng Ji Chuan following her.


    He was wearing a grey polo, looking calm and cold. She hadnt seen him for four months. He was as tall and strong as always. His wide shoulders gave off a manly vibe. Maybe because of the summer sun, his skin was darker than before. Her brain went nk for a second, then she walked quicker.


    Xi, wait. Feng Ji Chuan called her name.


    Nian Xi had no choice but to slow down. She turned, looked at him ndly and asked, How can I help you?


    My car is over there too. Lets walk together. Feng Ji Chuan quickly walked to her and looked at her gently.


    Nian Xi looked at the ground quietly and kept moving forward. She wished that she could see her car soon. However, there werent too many parking spaces earlier so she had parked her car far away.


    Before she reached her car, Feng Ji Chuan grabbed her arm and said, You just had lunch. Dont walk so fast. Its not good for your stomach.


    Nian Xi nced at the hand which grasped her arm then freed herself from it and said, Im not running. Besides, I have work to do at the police station.


    Feng Ji Chuan nced at the watch on his wrist and said, Its still early and not working time yet. You can be a little bitte. Ill be fine. I heard that theyve approved your application for a transfer to the criminal police team.


    Em, Nian Xi nodded.


    Feng Ji Chuan didnt show a trace of happiness but said with a serious face, You shouldnt go to the criminal police team. Being amunity police officer is exhausting enough and being a criminal police officer will only be worse. Its a dangerous job too. Youre a girl.


    Whats wrong with girls? Nian Xi wasnt happy to hear that. Cant women be in the criminal police team?


    Feng Ji Chuan shook his head and said, Thats not what I meant. Im only thinking about your safety. The criminal police team handles somerge cases. Members of that team get injured and die every year. Nian Xi, I want you to be safe. In fact, being amunity police officer is good.


    If thats what you wanted to say, Im sorry, I have already decided to join the criminal police team. Nian Xi interrupted him.


    Feng Ji Chuan responded, Why are you so stubborn? Nian Xi, I want to get back together with you. If we get married in the future and we are both in the criminal police team, wed both be busy at work. Wholl be taking care of our children then?


    Nian Xiughed with anger. Havent you figured out the current situation yet? We have already broken up. Can we get back together just because you want to? Can we have children just because you want some? You have just given me a very useful suggestion though. Youre right. Im already a police officer so I cant marry another police officer. Thank you for the heads up.


    Feng Ji Chuan frowned. That was not what he wanted to hear.


    If you dont want to marry me, who do you want to marry? Xu Luosang said that you brought a man back to your ce earlier. In a muffled voice, Feng Ji Chuan said the words which had been lingering in his mind the whole time, Do you want to marry him?


    I dont know. But Im single now. Anything is possible. Nian Xi finally found her car. She unlocked the car and opened the door.


    Feng Ji Chuan grasped the car door, looked at her with a bitter smile, and said, Nian Xi, I dont understand. You love me. Otherwise, you wouldnt have failed on so many blind dates. I love you too. Are we really breaking up because I was with Shuangwei without telling you when she got drunk? If something was really going on between us, Id have been with her for a long time. She and I are friends. Cant I even have a female friend? I promise you that Ill never lie to you again.


    Nian Xis heart missed a beat. For a moment she was shaken and almost epted his promise. She had been on a lot of blind dates but never felt a thing. Late at night, she always thought of him. In fact, she believed that he likes her. However, that was not the kind of like that she wanted.


    They had broken up for a couple of months. During that time, he never even called her. At festivals, he texted her. Could he possibly be too busy in the army to even make a call? Seriously, how could someone remain so calm when he or she was in love with another person?


    Ji Chuan, you may not know that previously, my brother and Luosang broke up, Nian Xi said.


    Luosang broke up with my brother. She was threatened by Jiang Qifei. At first, my brother didnt know about it. He didnt ept the break-up or he couldnt ept the fact that she wanted to break up with him. In order to win her back, that proud man put himself in a very, very low ce.

 Chapter 829. You still havent grown up after all, you need someone to take care of you

    Chapter 829. You still haven''t grown up after all, you need someone to take care of you


    Nian Xi paused and said, He chased her all the way to the school and confessed to her during ss. He cooked and recited poems for her, then stood below her apartment in the rain hoping for her to change her mind. Even when she ignored him, he persisted.


    Feng Jichuan looked shocked. He didnt expect Nian Junting to do such things.


    You want me to do that for you?


    You wont, because you are too rational. You wont love me like my brother loves Luosang. You will be fine without me and you can go about your day as normal. You will not sink into despair if I leave you, you will not give up your pride to win me back, Im just envious of a love like theirs, Nian Xi said truthfully.


    Feng Jichuan pursed his lips before responding, Everyone handles things differently. Im not like your brother. You know how I am, Im more rational, Im used to this sort of thinking even at work. When you said that you wanted to break up, I thought we were going to take time off to cool down. After the break, we woulde to realize how important we are to one another and grow to treasure this rtionship more.


    Yeah, in your world we can take time to cool down no matter what the issue was. After four months apart, you are still the same as before, not fatter or skinnier, the same cheerful man. I lost nearly five kilograms. Nian Xi shrugged sarcastically and shut the door.


    Feng Jichuan pounded on the window. She hesitated before lowering the window. Nian Xi, I cant give you such a passionate love if thats what youre looking for. Im past that age now, but I can tell you with certainty that I will treat you well if you marry me. I will dote on you and I will love my family. I will be responsible and I will never do anything to let you down. Youre not a child anymore, weve all grown up.


    Most men in this world are rational. Even if you find another guy that showers you with grand gestures, they wille along with aplicated past and a history of many previous rtionships. They could break up today and find someone else. Tomorrow, they might even be after your familys wealth. Or you could find someone younger, immature, and you would have to take care of them for the rest of your life. Nian Xi, you still havent grown up after all, you need someone to take care of you.


    Nian Xiughed. This is how you think of me? I think youve forgotten that you enlisted when you were eighteen when we were already together. You werent around all this time. If I hadnt grown up, how did I manage by myself all these years? Even though I lead a disorganized life, Ive been independent for a long time now. I thought I was going to marry you, be a military wife, I was preparing myself to be much more resilient than others. I only act in a childish manner in front of you because you are my lover.


    You said that you would dote on me and treat me well but have you ever done that each time you were back from camp? How can I count on the fact that you would change once we marry? Perhaps you have forgotten the trigger of our break up; I hadnt had dinner and I wanted you to deliver some food to me. You said no and you insisted on staying with Leng Shuangwei, you even lied to me about it, is that what you call treating me well?


    Feng Jichuan was stunned.


    You dont know me, Jichuan. Nian Xi shook her head and started the car.


    Feng Jichuan was still standing in the same spot, he was in a daze. Perhaps he really didnt know her well. He spent too much of his energy on his work. Would it be toote to know her better now?


    After sending Grandma Nian to the car, Nian Junting went back for Yu Wen and Murong Ze.


    They were taking Jiang Yis car and Murong Cheng was in the passengers seat.


    Youre really noting to Feng Forest for dinner tonight? Murong Cheng asked.


    Nope, Im staying at home for a candlelit dinner with Sang tonight, Nian Junting said chirpily.


    Murong Cheng said quickly, Shes pregnant, theres a lot of things to look out for in her diet, be careful.


    I know.


    Bring Luosang over more frequently and Ill make some tonic for her. She needs a lot of nutrients now that shes pregnant. Yu Wen reminded him again, she was excited for her baby grandchild to arrive.


    Ok.


    When the car left, Nian Junting turned to see Nian Qingyun standing gloomily behind him.


    Why havent you left? Nian Junting ignored the look on his face.


    That man why didnt you tell me? Nian Qingyun pointed angrily at the car that was pulling away. You should have stopped him froming.


    How would I know that Ma would bring him along, I didnt know about her new boyfriend either, it was my first time meeting him, Nian Junting said coolly. He was very blissful now and he didnt want to try to understand his fathers feelings.


    Do you really want a step-dad?


    I told you, Im ok with whatever makes Mother happy. You should head back, If you really cant figure it out, you can go find me a step-mom too. Nian Junting was walking towards the hotel lobby where Sang was still waiting for him.


    If I wanted to find a woman I would have done so long ago; I cant forget your mother. Nian Qingyuns tone of voice reflected his frustration. He was heartbroken watching another man stroke Murong Chengs hands.


    Have you ever considered that you two were really unsuitable for each other? Nian Junting turned around. She is a strong career woman and you are chauvinistic. Neither of you are willing to bend for the other. You should find yourself a gentle, submissive woman to spend the rest of your life with.


    Chauvinistic? If I can get my wife back, I will do whatever it takes to change myself. You mustnt let that mane to your wedding, Nian Qingyun warned him. Oh right, what happened in the time that I went to the toilet? Why did your grandma and grandpa start fighting? Your second aunt and uncle seemed to be upset too.


    Old couples, its normal for them to have some conflict. Nian Junting didnt sympathize with them at all, especially his grandfather. It was about time that grandma taught him a lesson.


    Nian Junting found Luosang at the lobby, she was ying with her mobile phone. Wheres your mother and Liuxi?


    Theyve left. Luosang kept her phone.


    You should have asked them to wait for me toe back, Nian Junting said, My grandfathers attitude wasnt too great.


    Its alright, I dont think your grandma will go easy on him this time. Your second aunt and uncle will be having a difficult time at home too. Luosang was smiling, she was a little d about how things had turned out.


    Nian Junting nced over at her. Your brother shouldnt be a director, hes so good at acting, hes probably still a virgin.


    So what if hes a virgin? Werent you one until you were twenty-nine? My brother is only twenty.


    Thats because something was wrong with my body.


    Luosang raised her brows. Are you telling me that you would have lost your virginity much earlier if there was nothing wrong with your body? Who were you nning to lose it to? Leng Shuangwei?


    Nian Junting shut his mouth.

 Chapter 830. Its Your Birthday. Youre the Boss

    Chapter 830. It''s Your Birthday. You''re the Boss


    Luosang snorted and said, My brother is the best. His future wife will live a happy life.


    Nian Junting responded speechlessly, Do you really believe him?


    I believe him. Luosang nodded. Because Im a good woman. My brother is like me, so hes a good man. Sadly, hes a little too young. Otherwise, Id set him up with Su.


    Lu Kang likes Yan Su, Nian Junting reminded her bluntly.


    Oh, yeah. Luosang nodded. Im just saying. I know its impossible.


    Back in the car, Luosang buckled up and said, Your father seemed to be quite frustrated. Is he okay?


    Em, Nian Junting responded while driving, Hes still alive.


    Luosang sighed.


    Thats obvious, isnt it? She thought.


    What do you think about Uncle Jiang, the man your mom brought to the lunch?


    He got married ten years ago and then divorced. Hes been pursuing my mother for three or four years. He waited all this time for her to get a divorce.


    Luosang understood. So hes passionately in love with her. Just now, during the lunch, he took really good care of your mom. Hes good actually. A woman might want to be with someone she loves when shes young, but when she grows older and older, she might change her mind and feel that she needs someone who loves her, to protect her and take care of her.


    Em, I wish that theres someone to take care of her too. Nian Junting had aplicated look in his eyes. Oh, Luo, wheres my birthday gift?


    Didnt you change the topic a little too fast? Luosang thought.


    She couldnt react immediately.


    You did prepare a gift for me, didnt you? Nian Juntings face darkened slightly.


    I did. Ill give it to you tonight, Luosang replied vaguely and turned her face away.


    Only after hearing that did Nian Juntings face turn happy from sulky. It was his birthday. They went home pretty early so Nian Junting bought two movie tickets. It was the summer vacation, so many movies were on.


    When picking the movie, Nian Junting asked for Luosangs opinion, What do you want to watch?


    Luosang had read some reviews online. She thought for a moment then said, Detective Chinatown.


    Nian Junting nodded then turned to tell the ticket seller. Two tickets for Operation Red Sea, please. We want seats in the middle.


    For a moment, Luosang didnt know what to say.


    She patted him on the shoulder and said, I said Detective Chinatown.


    I know. I only asked you what you want to watch but didnt n to let you choose the movie, said Nian Junting.


    She wanted to hit him.


    The ticket seller was speechless too. But he still said smilingly, A lot of peoplee to watch Operation Red Sea these days. The story is good. The box office receipts for that movie have gotten really high.


    After getting the tickets, Nian Junting asked, Do you want anything to eat?


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said, Youve made me so angry that Ive already lost my appetite.


    Its my birthday today. Nian Junting reminded her.


    Alright, its your birthday, so youre the boss today, Luosang thought, keeping herself from losing her temper.


    In the screening room, they found a lot of people in there. Nian Junting had his eyes fixed on the screen the entire time.


    While leaving, he sighed, That movie is a little exaggerated, but it made my blood boil. I even want to rejoin the army after watching that.


    You can go. I wont try to stop you, Luosang thought.


    Our country is so powerful, Nian Junting carried on.


    Yeah, youre right, Luosang agreed absent-mindedly.


    After getting into the car, Luosang heard Nian Junting calling Lu Kang. Book the whole movie theater. Tell all the departments to watch Operation Red Sea. We need to build some patriotism in ourpany.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She guessed every woman who has married a retired soldier would share her feelings.


    Why are you looking at me like that? Nian Junting ended the call, then suddenly looked at her and said, You do not seem to approve.


    Thats not true. Luosang hurriedly shook her head.


    Nian Junting snorted and said, Dont I know that? You little girls never love the country enough. Your patriotism needs some cultivation. Ill introduce you to a few good war-themed films tonight.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    Please dont. I dont like war-themed films, Luosang cried in her heart.


    It was about half-past five when they got back to the vi. Day time ended early and the sun was setting. At seven, Sister Lan prepared dinner, lit two candles, then went to into the room behind the kitchen with Steward Wu. While drinking the ck-boned chicken soup, Luosang looked at the two red candles and felt strange.


    Was this a candle light dinner? Shouldnt they be having western-style food?


    Dont you feel weird having these home-cooked dishes with two candles? Luosang asked in a low voice. She would rather turn the light on.


    I dont. Nian Junting picked a piece of sashimi with his chopsticks, dipped it into the wasabi sauce, then put it into his mouth and enjoyed it.


    Luosang wanted some of that too.


    I want some, she said.


    No, you cant eat raw food. Nian Junting refused without mercy.


    Luosang clenched her teeth. Then you shouldnt eat it in front of me. You knew Id want some. Thats not fair. From now on, you can only eat what I can eat.


    Thats not fair. You should get used to it. Nian Junting refused again, then picked a piece of fresh crabmeat, dipped it into the sauce. I cant give up such delicious food for you, can I?


    Luosang put her hand on her forehead. She couldnt tell why but she really wanted to kill him at that moment. She regretted carrying his baby.


    The shameless Nian Junting finished the food then spread his hands and asked her, Wheres my gift?


    Luosang was grumpy. Theres no gift for you, she said.


    Hearing that, Nian Junting immediately wore a grievance on his face.


    He had started looking forward to her birthday gift a long time ago.


    Alright, I got your gift. Luosang helplessly stood up, opened a door of the wine cab, took out a wrapped gift box and then handed it to him.


    Nian Juntings eyes instantly shone. Holding the box, he was very happy. I havent received a birthday gift from a girlfriend for nearly ten years.


    You dont need to mention the fact that you have an ex-girlfriend. Luosang gave him a cold nce.


    Nian Junting still couldnt help but feel thrilled. What did you get me? Im so smart, but I dont have a clue what it is. Its really a surprise.


    Just open it. Youll know. After saying that, Luosang lowered her head.


    Nian Junting unwrapped the box. It was a brown paper box. He opened it and found another paper box in it. He opened the second box and found a third box.


    He opened six boxes in a row. His face became longer and longer. Atst he asked her, What on earth did you hide in here?


    Its so small. It cant be a ring, can it? he thought.


    Luosang stuck her tongue out. Nian Junting had no choice but to keep unwrapping the gift. He was even desperate when he saw thest, finger-sized box. He opened it and found a note in it.


    This is your gift for me? Its just a crappy note. Why did you hide it so deep? Nian Junting was so disappointed.


    Just read it, Luosang reminded him.


    He spread the note, saw a line written on itI will grant you a wish.

 Chapter 831. Come Torture Me

    Chapter 831. Come Torture Me


    Nian Junting was stunned and his eyes lit up. Any conditions?


    Luosang felt chills down her back. She regretted her words instantly. She should have given him something else.


    Well


    Alright, you cant go back on your word now. Im going to think hard about what to ask of you. Nian Junting kept the note and his expression was bright.


    After dinner, Sister Lan came back to clear the table.


    Nian Junting took Luosang upstairs and pulled her onto the sofa, they were watching the television together. The television was huge and he picked an anti-Japanese upation series.


    I highly rmend this war drama, its one of the ssics and its very realistic.


    Luosang was about to break down. She didnt want to watch a war show. Why could other couples spend their birthdays having a romantic time but they had to watch a wartime drama.


    Luosang was dozing off as they continued watching the show. Halfway through, Xiao Si called Nian Junting to ask him about something at work then afterwards, he suddenly added, Howe there is the sound of cannons and machine guns, what are you two doing?


    Yeah, Im watching a World War II show, Nian Junting said casually.


    Xiao Si thought he had heard wrongly.


    What, are you ok? Its your birthday today and youre not spending time with Luosang but youre watching a war drama?


    Im watching it with Luosang.


    It was so unfair that someone like Junting could find such a sweet and pretty girlfriend like Luosang but he was still single.


    You should treasure Luosang, a normal person wouldnt be able to tolerate you. Xiao Si hung up after that.


    Nian Junting put down his phone and turned to peck Luosang on her cheek. How am I unbearable? Xiao Si is just jealous, whats wrong with the show? Isnt the show exciting?


    He pulled Luosang closer to his chest and continued to watch the show.


    Luosang barely managed to stay awake for half an hour before she felt groggy again. She said, Im sleepy, Im going to shower first, you go ahead and watch your show.


    I wont watch it anymore too; its too boring to watch by myself. Lets continue tomorrow, Nian Junting shut off the television.


    Luosang was about to cry. She didnt want to watch the show again the next day, she was bearing through it since it was his birthday today.


    After showering, Nian Junting was lying on the back with his hands behind his head. He looked like he was in serious thought.


    Luosangy down next to him and asked, What are you thinking about?


    Im thinking about what I should ask from you, Nian Junting answered seriously.


    Keep thinking then. Luosang began to pull the nket over herself.


    Suddenly, Nian Junting scooted close to her ear and whispered something.


    Luosangs cheeks flushed pink and she stared at him in disbelief before covering her face with the nket. No, I could never do that.


    You said any request. Nian Junting peeled the nket out from her grasp so she had nowhere to hide.


    Luosang pursed her lips in silence.


    So you were nning to patronize me with a lie. Nian Junting folded his arms. I thought you were going to do something special for me for my 30th birthday.


    Luosang felt bad. She had thought about other gift ideas but they were too ordinary. If her body allowed, she would have taken up Yan Sus suggestion, she wanted him to have an unforgettable birthday. Too bad she was pregnant now.


    Its alright if you dont want to, I know you dont love me enough. Nian Junting turned his back against her, leaving her to stare at his sad silhouette.


    He curled up into a ball and he looked extremely depressed. Luosang felt guilty.


    It was his 30th birthday after all and he was excited for her gift.


    After hesitating for a minute, she wrapped her arms around his waist and said, Alright, Ill do it.


    Nian Junting turned around in a second and his eyes were twinkling as if he had just won the lottery. Shall we begin now?


    Luosang covered her blushing face with the nket and said, Well I said I would do it, but not today. I watched the movie and had a meal with you and Im really tired. The baby wont be able to handle it either.


    When will you do it then? Nian Junting didnt want to force her to do anything she didnt want to, but his eyes reflected his disappointment.


    Um when my pregnancy is more stable. Luosang stuck out her tongue, she was going to drag it out for as long as possible.


    Alright, but I want some welfare tonight, Nian Junting said, crawling swiftly beneath the nket.


    Luosang was clutching the nket and although the air-conditioning was on in this sweltering heat, her face was still turning red. The shape beneath the nket stopped when he reached the end of the bed. Luosang was biting on her finger. She wanted to hold it in but she still let out a deep raspy gasp at the end.


    When it ended, Nian Junting emerged from the nket with a pink face too. Luosangs eyes were sparkling and it was extremely seductive, she was like a blossomed flower.


    Nian Junting couldnt hold himself back and he started kissing her lips and mumbled under his breath, You little thing, you arent willing to please me so I have to please you. I will treat you well even if you dont.


    Luosang was soft like cotton now and her body was trembling. After his sweet talk, she said impulsively, Lets do it today then


    Nian Junting stopped kissing her and said excitedly, Really?


    She felt like she was being eyed by a wolf. Would he allow her to take her words back?


    Luo, Ill wait for you. Nian Junting calmlyid himself down and his silhouette was beckoning her,e torture me, he was trying to say.


    At midnight.


    Xiao Si was refreshing his social media and Mr. Nian had just posted a status update, Thank you my wife for your birthday present. I was very surprised and very happy, thank you. My birthday is sweeter than ever with you around. followed by lots of heart emojis after.


    He attached a photo of a gift box in the post.


    Nian Ximented, I want to vomit.


    Ji Nuanyimented as well, What is it? Im so curious.


    Murong Chengmented, Son, what happened to your cool and aloof image, youre so disgusting now.


    Xiao Si found him disgusting too.


    Ever since Nian Junting started dating, his dashboard had be more and more mushy.


    He added to Nian Xisment, Same here.


    Then he replied to Ji Nuanyi, If you like, I could buy it for you too.


    Ji Nuanyu replied quickly, Ok.


    Xiao Si was overwhelmed, his goddess had finally replied.


    The next morning, Luosang was still fast asleep when she was woken up by Nian Juntings phone.


    He picked up the call after seeing the caller ID and said grumpily, What are you going on about so early in the morning?

 Chapter 832. I Got the Best Birthday Gift

    Chapter 832. I Got the Best Birthday Gift


    Its eight in the morning. Get up work, Xiao Si urged him.


    Thank you. I dont need you to remind me. Nian Junting held Luosang with one arm and said, A single man like you has no idea what it feels like when you have a woman in your arms and feel so reluctant to get out of bed.


    Im single and free, Xiao Si sneered. Tell me what Luosang got youst night. You liked it so much. Im going to get Ji Nuanyi the same thing.


    Nian Junting stayed silent.


    Just tell me, Xiao Si repeated.


    I dont think you can give her that


    Xiao Si paused briefly, then said, Damn, it wasnt sex, was it? Isnt Luosang at risk of miscarriage? Can you have sex? You need to be careful.


    <i>1</i>Nian Junting snorted. You are so inexperienced. Do you think that having sex is the best thing in the world? You are wrong. Therere some things more exciting than that,he thought.


    <i>1</i>However, he couldnt tell Xiao Si what it was or Luosang would be unhappy.


    These kinds of private stories didnt need to be shared.


    As he stayed silent, Xiao Si thought he had admitted it. I really cant give her that then. We arent even together yet. If I asked her to have sex with me, shed think of me as an indecent man.


    You can only give her a gift like that after you became boyfriend and girlfriend. Bye, leave me alone.


    Nian Junting dropped the phone, saw Luosang opening her eyes and looking at him drowsily. She hadnt fully woken up yet. Her star-like eyes were watery and her lips were red as cherries. It was early in the morning and she looked like azy cat. She was so beautiful that even looking at her made his heart miss a beat.


    Thinking of the gift that he hadst night, Nian Junting held Luosang and kissed her deeply, saying, Luo, good morning. I had my best birthdayst night, and got the best birthday gift ever. It was wonderful.


    Luosangs cheeks turned red. Recalling what happenedst night, her face blushed, and her heart raced. Of course, it was because Nian Junting was way too shameless.


    Youre not allowed to mention it again. Luosang gave him a warning re.


    Are you shy? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows. Whats wrong? Didnt I serve you like that often?


    Luosang curved her lips downward and said proudly, You insisted. Did I ever beg you? When you experienced something too many times, it can just be normal to you. Do you understand that?


    Nian Junting paused slightly in confusion then abruptly gave a smile and said, Yeah? Just normal? Id like to see how normal it is to you.


    After saying that, he kicked away the quilt, then quickly leaned his upper body down andnded a series of kisses on her body.


    As Luosang shed tears because of the pleasure, he proudly got up, put on his clothes and said, Isnt it normal for you? Who was moaning and holding me, refusing to let go just now?


    Luosang gave him a kick and responded shyly, Im pregnant. Cant you restrain yourself?


    I did. You were lying there. I didnt even ask you to move an inch. I was the one doing all the work and suffering the bad consequences. Cant you see how ufortable I am feeling now? I can only take a cold shower. Women are really hard to satisfy. Nian Junting snorted, then went into the bathroom.


    Hearing him, Luosang blushed. He seemed to be right. She was indeed taking advantage of him. Although she was pregnant, he never let her suffer any difort in terms of sex. On the contrary, he suffered a lot. Luosang spent a short while feeling happy, then picked up her phone to check her friends WeChat moments. Seeing that everybody was asking what that gift was, she felt so shy.


    Then, when reading the conversation between Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi, she started to have some dirty thoughts in her mind. That didnt seem to be an appropriate gift for Xiao Si to give Ji Nuanyi.


    In the morning, after breakfast, a young man in a military uniform walked in.


    Miss Xu, good to see you. I am Director Xus secretary. You can call me Xie. The director asked me to deliver this. He said that it is a gift for you. Xie handed her a little brown box.


    <i>1</i>Luosang was ttered as Nian Qingyun had never liked her. She opened the box and saw a jade pendant.


    This is? she asked.


    Xie smiled. This is a jade pendant, passed down from the ancestors of Nian Family since the Qing Dynasty.


    Luosang stuttered, This is not the Nian Familys family treasure is it?


    <i>1</i>Xie found her reaction funny.


    You could say that, he said.


    Luosang instantly felt as if the pendant weighted over 1000 kilograms.


    I have delivered the gift so Ill be leaving. Finished talking, Xiao Xie said goodbye and left.


    Luosang spent a long while staring at the jade pendant then quickly called Nian Junting to tell him about that.


    Oh, since he has sent it to you, you should keep it, said Nian Junting carelessly. As if that pendant wasnt his family treasure but was just a piece of pork.


    This is expensive, right?


    Well, not really. Its worth about ten-million.


    Ten million


    Oh, that was not really expensive. Ever since Nian Junting lost a diamond ring which was worth about a hundred million, Luosang found that she had lost her sense of money. Even though she only spent tens of yuan every day.


    That is the most important thing to my father, and that was everything he had, Nian Junting added.


    He shouldnt give it to me then. He should give it to Nian Xi. Luosang felt under pressure. Why is he suddenly so nice to me?


    I guess he wants me to help him to win my mother back, said Nian Junting bluntly.


    Hes trying really hard, Luosang murmured, Will you help him or not?


    No. I wont help any of them. Nian Junting gave his answer without hesitation.


    Then I think I should give the jade back to him


    No. That thing passes down from generation to generation. It was going to be yours anyway.


    Luosang suddenly started feeling sorry for Nian Qingyun. He even gave her the family treasure, yet his son still firmly refused to help him.


    Three dayster, Luosang received a phone call from the police in An City. At nine in the morning, Yi Jingxi had turned himself in. After ending the phone call, she was dazed for a long time. As she came back to her senses, her hands were shaking slightly.


    Yi Jingxi had told her that he would turn himself in. However, nothing had been heard in so many days. She was worried. Yi Jingxi had lied to her far too many times after all. Only at that very moment, was she sure that she was not in a dream.


    Xu Zhengxuan is finallying out of prison.


    However, he couldnt be released immediately. Even though Yi Jingxi had turned himself in, the case hadsted for a couple of years and the police still needed to go through all the procedures.


    That day, Nian Junting decided to stop work and go to An City with Luosang. As Xu Zhengxuanswyer, An Lan would go with them. Luosang also informed Mo Liuxi about it. Mo Jin hated Xu Zhengxuan, but after all, Mo Liuxi was his son.


    After hearing Luosangs words, Mo Liuxi stayed silent for a time, then refused to go. Im not going. Im furnishing my t.

 Chapter 833. When Yan Su Came to Her Senses Again, She Was Livid

    Chapter 833. When Yan Su Came to Her Senses Again, She Was Livid


    Luosang knew that renovations were only an excuse, Liuxi, I know you hate dad. He hasnt taken care of you for one day of your life, not even a minute. But when he found out that Mother was pregnant, he wanted to keep you. Now we know that he hasnt done anything to let Mother down as well.


    Mo Liuxi chuckled lightly. He didnt, but he had already caused enough hurt for being so close to another woman. He was never responsible towards his family when he was young, I detest men like him.


    Luosang felt helpless. Yes, you can resent him, its really up to you. Its your choice if you want to acknowledge him but arent you the least bit curious what your father looks like? I want you to go so he can see your face. Hes old now and in prison. His health is not like the old days. When he found out that he still had a son, he had many sleepless nights in the prison, he nearly suffered a major depressive disorder!


    Mo Liuxi fell silent for a long time before nodding his head. Ok, Ill go with you, but Im not nning to call him father. I dont need a father in my life anymore.


    Alright, Ill see you at the airport at three in the afternoon then.


    After he ended the call, Mo Liuxi stood in the house for a moment before walking out.


    He pressed the down button on the elevator. After about a minute, Yan Su emerged from the lift dragging her suitcase. Yan Su wasnt nning on greeting him at first but since he was Luosangs younger brother, she decided to say hi anyway.


    Hi, how are the renovations going


    Before she could finish, Mo Liuxi had already boarded the elevator and the door had shut.


    When Yan Su came to her senses again, she was livid. That little brat was so ill-mannered; she had already taken the first steps to greet him but he still ignored her. How could someone so sweet like Luosang have a young brother like him? He treated her like air. She would p herself if she ever bothered to say hi to him in the future. She was still angry when she returned to the apartment so she called Luosang toin.


    Luo, I think you should really discipline your brother. I cant take care of him when school starts like you asked, Ive decided that I wont interfere with his business at all. Im not going to invite him over for meals either.


    Luosang found the entire situation funny, it was rare to see Yan Su so worked up.


    Liuxi couldnt have meant it, I just called him earlier and he is in a foul mood, Luosang paused, Yi Jingxi turned himself in so were nning to go to An City in the afternoon and I asked Liuxi along. He still hates my dad so I understand if he isnt feeling too great, he must be very torn.


    I see Yan Su stoppedining.


    She was still hurt over the incident but she reminded herself that he was just a young and immature guy. He had a bad temper but there was no need for her, someone three years older than him, to hold a grudge against him. She decided to keep her distance from him after all. He still had a hot temper.


    If your dad is released, you can finally heave a sigh of relief.


    Yeah.


    At three in the afternoon, Luosang and the party arrived at the airport. Mo Liuxi was already there wearing a denim shirt and matching denim jeans paired with a white pair of sneakers. His charisma was unaffected by the flurrying and the humdrum busy city life. The sunlight cast a warm shadow on him and he caught the eyes of many passengers going about their business. Luosang saw ady watching him in awe and banging into a pole with her luggage.


    An Lan chuckled and remarked, After seeing your brother, I think many of the celebrities are underwhelming now.


    <i>1</i>Nian Juntingughed and turned to Luosang, Ive experienced these things all the time since I was young, there are always people asking me for signatures at the airport.


    Luosang pinched the back of his hand. She couldnt stand how he had to turn this into apetition as well.


    Liuxi Luosang waved at him and said, This is mywyer, An Lan.


    Mo Liuxi nodded his head casually before turning to check-in with his passport.


    Your brother is really cold and aloofpared to Mr. Nian, An Lan whispered to her.


    Luosang was helpless, Maybe most outstanding people are like this, they have a cold and aloof personality.


    Dontpare me to him, Nian Junting turned and said, Dont you understand, how can anyonepare him to a wise man like me?


    Luosang rolled her eyes at him, Are you eavesdropping?


    They had been whispering at such a low volume.


    I dont want to miss anything you say, Nian Junting curled his lips into a smile and he was looking at her lovingly.


    Luosang blushed. An Lan brought her palm to her forehead. They were so cheesy every time they were out together.


    Luosang, your brother is single, right? Shall I introduce my sister to him? An Lan smiled and put her arm around Luosangs shoulders. My sister is entering Ximei this year as a freshman as well.


    <i>1</i>Luosang was sweating, there were so many people trying to set Liuxi up with someone they knew. She had received so many calls recently to ask her for the favour and she didnt know how to refuse them politely. Her brother was only twenty.


    It was a problem to have such a handsome and capable brother. Once he grew older, she would surely receive more requests like this and she would have to then offend many people. She hoped that he would get attached sooner to put a stop to these requests.


    Theyre so young, Luosang smiled, You dont have to be in such a hurry.


    Haha, Im just joking, An Lanughed. But your brother is so handsome, so many young girls will fall for him once he enters university.


    Luosang had a headache just thinking about it.


    After they boarded the ne, Luosang sat with Nian Junting while An Lan sat with Mo Liuxi. Luosang wanted to swap seats with An Lan at first but Nian Juntings expression was glum.


    Why do you want to sit in the back, are you treating me like garbage now that you have Mo Liuxi?


    I told you I have things to tell Liuxi, Luosang frowned.


    No can do, Nian Junting denied her. How can you allow another woman to sit with me, arent you worried that she might harbor inappropriate feelings for me?


    An Lans mouth twitched, Um Mr. Nian, Im standing right here, that wasnt so appropriate.


    Nian Junting looked at her coldly, Am I wrong? Sometimes jealousy can really change a woman, no matter how outstanding she is.


    An Lan was bbergasted. She realized she did not know him at all. She knew that he was a narcissist, but she didnt expect him to be this extreme. She looked at Luosang and she looked back at her apologetically.

 Chapter 834. Yan Su Greeted You Today, But You Ignored Her

    Chapter 834. Yan Su Greeted You Today, But You Ignored Her


    She suddenly felt sorry for Luosang. As a woman who was loved by Mr. Nian, her life could be not easy.


    Sister, your boyfriend is a freak. Mo Liuxi said.


    Luosang gave him a nce and said, Like youre not a freak.


    Whats wrong with me? Mo Liuxi crossed his arms across his chest.


    Luosang sighed and said, Earlier today, Yan Su greeted you but you ignored her.


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows, said, Did I see her today?


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She wondered how unhappy Yan Su would be if she had heard that.


    When you left home, she came out of the elevator. She said hi to you but you didnt respond, said Luosang.


    Mo Liuxi thought for a moment then said, I remember. Someone did say hi to me when I went into the elevator. I didnt pay any attention to her though.


    He was thinking about Xu Zhengxuan and was in a bad mood at the time.


    Luosang sighed. Su is a pretty girl. She has officially be a singer and has gained some fame. Do you have to treat her that way?


    She had even asked Yan Su to look after her brother.


    Im sorry, I dont listen to music. Mo Liuxi shrugged ndly and said, Ever since high school, all kinds of women greet me when I am walking on the road, or try to strike up a conversation with me with all sorts of excuses. Ive been ignoring them and that has be a habit. Im sorry.


    Nian Junting snorted, shook his head, and said, The young people nowadays are too arrogant.


    Luosang gave him a nce.


    Like youre not arrogant, she thought, when ites to arrogance, Liuxi is not as good as you.


    But, Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and continued, Did your friendin to you about a small thing like that?


    Luosang really wanted to pinch his cheeks. It was a small thing to you, but to Su, it was embarrassing.


    Alright, since shes your friend, Ill respond to her when she greets me again. But I wont respond to the other girls in school. Im too busy to deal with women, said Mo Liuxi ndly.


    Dont worry, she wont greet you again, said Luosang. You dont have sses now. What are you busy with?


    Just staying at home.


    Luosang was speechless. She honestly didnt know what to say. Fortunately, her brother was handsome. If he was an ugly boy who always stayed at home, hed never have a girlfriend.


    An Lan grabbed her then whispered in her ear, I dont think Ill introduce your brother to my sister.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. She could totally understand. Such an arrogant boy wasnt so appealing indeed.


    Nian Junting nced at Luosang ndly then said, You need to teach your brother some lessons.


    Luosang was speechless.


    How can you say that about him? Arent you two supposed to be best friends? She thought.


    Abruptly, she recalled the young man that Nian Xi brought homest time.


    If they got together, there would be drama between the three men in the family.


    However, Luosang figured that would be impossible.


    The ne arrived at An City. The four of them took a taxi to the police station.


    Lu Kang had already been sent to the police station by Nian Junting in the morning. As Yi Jingxi had turned himself in, the entrance of the police station was jammed with reporters from all over the country.


    When the four entered the police station, some sharp-eyed reporters spotted Luosang and immediately surrounded her.


    Miss. Xu, Yi Jingxi suddenly turned himself in. Is it because you have strong evidence against him? Based on what we know, Yi Jingxi and the current principal of An City Film College gave false testimony and framed your father together. Is that true?


    Luosang was a little confused. She had no idea if it had anything to do with the current principal of the school. Yi Jingxi didnt mention thatst time.


    Yi Jingxi turned himself in because hes stung by his conscience.


    Nian Junting said to the reporters on behalf of Luosang, However, he has made too many mistakes. He has realized that he was wrong now but we will still let him get the punishment that he deserves. I think you, as reporters, should reflect upon your own. Your articles once put my girlfriend in a hopeless situation. She had no choice but to conceal her true identity for a new life. What did she do wrong? She was innocent the whole time. Next time, think before you start writing. Do not hurt innocent people. Your job is telling the truth to the public, not targeting innocent people. Without any proof, you wrote hurtful words about her and made her a victim. If you cant do your job right, just quit.


    Hearing his words, the reporters didnt know how to respond.


    After a while, a female reporter broke the silence. Miss. Xu, Im sorry. I published an article about the case. I apologize to you.


    Me too. More and more reporters apologized to Luosang.


    Luosang was relieved. I ept your apologies, but I also want to tell you that back then, many articles were targeting me. On the inte, in my real life, I could hear awful words from everywhere. If I hadnt wanted to help my father, I might have killed myself under that kind of pressure. Now you know that my father is innocent. How would you feel if I had killed myself at that time?


    The people fell into silence again. Nian Junting put a hand on her shoulder.


    Behind him, Mo Liuxi nced at Nian Junting with aplicated expression, eyes showing a trace of admiration which was rarely seen on his face.


    As they entered the police station, Lu Kang greeted them from upstairs. They walked up.


    Hows it going? Nian Justing asked.


    The police have questioned Principal Cheng from An City Film College, Lu Kang said. If its true, Im afraid the case cant be ended in just a couple of days.


    Luosang murmured, My fathers former assistant helped Yi Jingxi, so did Principal Cheng


    Lu Kang said, Back then, he wasnt the principal yet. He was one of your fathers subordinates. After your father went to prison, he became the principal. I can understand it. He did it for himself. Yi Jingxi knew what they wanted.


    Principal Cheng will definitely hire awyer to pass the buck to Yi Jingxi and to get himself a lower sentence, An Lan said.


    Nian Junting said with a cold face, By any means, make sure he gets the worst punishment. He should have worked hard to get a promotion instead of taking this kind of foul path.


    Twenty minutester, Captain Wu who was in charge of the case came over to shake Nian Juntings hands. Mr. Nian, he said, Actually, you dont need to wait here. Ill inform you if theres any news.


    Id like to know when my father-inw can be released, said Nian Junting.


    Principal Cheng refused to admit his crime. I guess hes going to talk to hiswyer about it. Yi Jingxi has pleaded. However, the case involves a lot of people. Principal Cheng is well-connected in An City. To investigate this case will certainly cause a sensation. Well do our best. Captain Wu spoke honestly, Well try to end it within a week.

 Chapter 835. You Dont Like Me, Brother-In-Law?

    Chapter 835. You Don''t Like Me, Brother-In-Law?


    Luosang looked up but her voice was low. I trust you all and I understand your difficulties, but I hope you can understand mine as well. My father was thrown into prison for no good reason and has been there for three years already. If you had processed the case with greater stringency, he might not have had to suffer. I dont want anything else, I just want him to be released as soon as possible. Hes old and hes not in the best of health now.


    Captain Wu was remorseful even though he hadnt been in charge of the case years ago. Miss Xu, I will close the case as soon as possible even if it means working overtime and overnight.


    At night, the group stayed in the Beichuan Hotel. Nian Junting had booked two vis. Lu Kang, An Lan and Mo Liuxi were staying together while Nian Junting and Luosang were staying in another vi. When they checked in, Nian Junting had a bit of conflict with Mo Liuxi.


    I have to stay with my sister, Mo Liuxi carried his luggage and walked over to the vi that Nian Junting and Luosang were staying in. Nian Junting frowned and blocked his path.


    I want to spend some time alone with your sister.


    You already have a child together; what time alone do you need? Mo Liuxi looked over at Luosangs pretty face casually. Are you two still nning on doing things? Didnt the doctor say that the pregnancy isnt stable yet?


    Luosangs cheeks were fiery hot. What are you thinking about, you little kid, you can stay wherever you please.


    Luo Nian Juntings voice was low.


    You dont like me, brother-inw? Mo Liuxi said suddenly.


    Nian Junting was shocked when he called him that, he had never addressed him that way before, he must have an ulterior motive.


    He turned to look at Luosang and she was frowning.


    Of course not


    Im staying with the two of you then, I dont want to stay there because of Lawyer An, she is ady after all and were not familiar with each other. I dont want to cause any inconvenience to her, Mo Liuxi paused and said, Sister, although we have acknowledged each other, we have never spent time living together. I think this is a good opportunity for us to interact with one another and let me have a taste of what its like to have an older sister.


    Luosangs heart ached when he said that and she quickly nodded her head. Youre right, lets stay together then, let me take care of you.


    Thank you. Mo Liuxi grinned and looked at Nian Junting before walking briskly into the house and picking a room for himself on the ground floor.


    Nian Junting was ring at him from behind.


    Someone tugged on his shirt. He looked down to see Luoang staring at him worryingly, Junting, you dont like Liuxi?


    No, nothing of the sort, Nian Junting denied it immediately, Im very happy to have a younger brother like Liuxi.


    Luosang looked at him for a moment before bursting intoughter, Fake.


    Nian Junting was frustrated so he decided to tell her the truth, Luo, its not that I dont like him, I love anyone who is your family. Its just that I want to spend time alone with you, especially since our baby princess ising soon.


    Luosang sighed, Junting, we both have our own family. We cant possibly spend every single minute together. Liuxi was right, although we have acknowledged each other, we havent really spent time together. I hope I can this opportunity to get to know him better.


    Alright, I understand, Nian Junting rubbed her head, Just like how I have no interest in Nian Xi at all usually.


    Poor Nian Xi.


    Luosang really wanted to know Mo Liuxi better. After dinner, her brother was sitting on the sofa watching an indie film. Luosang walked over to find him taking notes on his notepad.


    What are you doing?


    This movie was nominated at the Cannes Film Festival this year, I wanted to figure out the essence of the film so I can study it in greater detail, Mo Liuxi said.


    Luosang was heartened to see her brother so passionate about learning, he was just like her. Liuxi, why do you want to be a director?


    I always ran around with Lady Mo when I was young, I have been interested in the industry since then, Mo Liuxi smiled.


    Um Lady Mo


    Your mother.


    My mother? Shes your mother too, Luosang thought.


    Luosang sighed, no wonder Liuxi didnt like to call her sister. Why would you call her that?


    Shes too stupid. Ive called her Lady Mo since I was young and she was ok with it, Mo Liuxi sighed, Her dishes are horrible tasting and she always loses her things and doesnt tidy up her room. She gets tricked very easily and shes very obstinate about things.


    Luosang was stunned, I didnt know Mother was like that.


    Mo Liuxi grunted casually.


    You must have had to deal with a lot as a child, Luosang reached out to tousle his hair. His hair was soft and fine and it was smooth to the touch.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned at her gesture. He nced over at her and her pretty face was glowing. He lowered his head like an obedient puppy.


    What are the two of you doing? an angry voice shouted, breaking the serene silence between them.


    The two of them turned to see Nian Junting marching towards them, he squeezed in between them to keep them apart. Mo Liuxi had no choice but to move to the side. He spoke in a low voice.


    Shes pregnant, can you be gentler, dont crush her.


    She is my woman; you dont have to tell me that. Nian Junting picked up Luosangs hand and put it on his head. If you want to touch someones head, touch mine, my head is itchy.


    He was getting more and more childish.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. She is my sister; she cant even touch my head?


    Brat, if you want someone to stroke your head, you should go find yourself a girlfriend. Nian Junting closed his eyes happily. You will know once you get attached.


    Dont encourage him to get into a rtionship so early, Luosang red at him.


    Nian Junting continued, Its normal to date in university, maybe he will find someone once school starts. He might even give you a nephew before he graduates.


    Lame, Mo Liuxi threw the insult at him.


    Luosang was frowning too. If she had a nephew before he even graduated, she would truly have a headache. She was already a bad example; her brother shouldnt follow her footsteps.


    Stop talking and watch the movie, Luosang reminded him.


    The three of them watched the movie together. Luosang enjoyed the film as she thought that it had a good twist and an interesting plot. Nian Junting was thoroughly bored on the other hand, almost falling asleep on the couch.


    Not nice, lets change the channel. Nian Junting picked up the remote control and said, Lets continue watching the anti-Japanese upation film we were watchingst time.


    Luosang was about to cry.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. No, war dramas are too fake.


    The one I watched was not too bad, Nian Junting said, Brat, I know you grew up overseas but you should cultivate your patriotism. Let me show you how China was liberated in the past.

 Chapter 836. Call Me Uncle

    Chapter 836. Call Me Uncle


    Mo Liuxi was a little shocked. Nian Junting sounded like an old man. He was an old man indeed.


    Thank you, I know how China was liberated. I dont need you to tell me that. Uncle, maybe you two can go upstairs to watch it? Mo Liuxi suggested.


    I am Wait, what did you just call me? Nian Juntings face instantly darkened.COMMENT


    I feel that youre like my uncle, Mo Liuxi blinked.


    Luosangughed so hard.


    Why are youughing? Nian Junting said through clenched teeth.


    He had never seen such an unpleasant boy. Compared with him, Nian Xi was much more adorable.


    Luosang tried very hard to stopughing then said, Uncle, why dont you go upstairs and watch the y alone? I want to stay here and finish watching this movie.


    Are you taking his side? Nian Junting got angry.


    That was outrageous. As his woman, she should have taken his side unconditionally.


    Its not like that. I dont like watching anti-Japanese ys about war either, said Luosang. I love my country. I just simply have no interests in wars.


    You enjoyed that drama with me on my birthday night.


    Do you really think that I enjoyed it? Luosang responded embarrassedly.


    Nian Junting thought for a moment then said, I dont remember. Anyway, you should like everything I like. The films I watch are all high-quality ones. Dont always watch those pointless things.


    Alright, Im a pointless person. Just go upstairs. Luosang pushed him.


    Nian Junting was pushed slightly forward then angrily went upstairs. She had asked him to leave because Mo Liuxi was keeping herpany. Nian Junting was angry and felt that he had lost face.


    After Nian Junting closed the door of his room, Mo Liuxi turned to say to Luosang, Where did you find that freak?


    Luosangughed. Hes a freak indeed. But youll be happy to spend time with him when you really know him. You dont understand. Youve never fallen in love with someone. Youll know when that happens.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent. He believed that the woman who could be attractive to him hadnt even appeared in the world.


    Luosang finished the movie with Mo Liuxi then went upstairs at ten pm.


    She heard the noise of machine guns as soon as she entered the room. Nian Junting was lying on the bed. As she came in, he gave her a nce then proudly turned around. He only wore a pair of pajama pants with his upper body bared. Leaning against the cushion, his waist looked slim and muscr, his butt looked firm and round. Even his back was attractive.


    Luosang smiled, got onto the bed, and put her left hand on his waist, saying, Junting, why are you so angry? I didnt watch the anti-Japanese war y with you, thats all.


    Since she got pregnant, her body temperature was higher than usual. As she put a hand on Nian Juntings skin, Nian Junting immediately felt the warmness from her.


    He turned around, looked at her coldly, and said, Call me uncle.


    Luosang burst intoughter. She held his face with both hands, kissed him on the cheeks, then said, Uncle, Im still young. I love romantic films, and I dont like war-themed ys. I watched it with you that day because it was your birthday and I didnt want you to be unhappy.


    Nian Junting was so unhappy. Anti-Japanese war ys were so tasteful. He couldnt understand why she didnt like them.


    Never mind, I understand. Not everyone can be as tasteful as I am, Nian Junting nodded grumpily. But you took Mo Liuxis side. Can that film he watched be called a film at all? It was too dull.


    Its dull but interesting. You need to think really hard when watching it, Luosang said. And it has been shortlisted for Cannes.


    Nian Junting stayed silent. He did not approve of her words. Some foreigners thought highly of their own evaluation criteria for art works, as if they knew art better than anyone else. And some young, shallow Chinese people liked to blindly follow foreigners.


    <i>1</i>Junting, there is a gap in our preferences of films and TV ys. Maybe we shouldnt watch TV together again. Luosang kissed him again then went to take a shower.


    When she came out, Nian Junting abruptly said to her, Luo, even if Im an uncle, Id be a very handsome uncle.


    Luosang was falling asleep, but hearing his words, she was woken up by her ownughter.


    Nian Junting turned, looked at her in the eyes and said, Even though your taste is not as good as mine, I have decided to tolerate you since I have already chosen to be with you. From this day on, I will try to lower my taste for you and watch those brainless romantic films together with you.


    Luosang stayed silent. Those were some touching words, but somehow she wanted to hit him when hearing them.


    Em, alright, Junting, just sleep, Im tired. Luosang buried her face in his arms and stroked his back to signal him to stop talking.


    Next morning, half-past eight.


    The breakfast was served at nine. When Nian Junting and Luosang were ready for it, Mo Liuxi hadnt woken up yet.


    Im going to wake him up. Nian Junting stood up and said, How can a young man sleepte? When I was younger, I always got up at five to jog.


    The school is hard for him. Its summer vacation. Just let him sleep a little longer. Luosang dragged Nian Junting back into the chair.


    Luo, you are spoiling him, said Nian Junting. Brothers should be tortured, not spoiled.


    Just eat. Luosang put a shrimp dumpling into his mouth to stop him from keeping talking.


    Nian Junting finished the dumpling then turned to look at her. She had just taken a sip of milk. Some milk foam was still left around her lips.


    He lowered his head and kissed her; his tongue nimbly invaded her mouth.


    Her mouth was filled with the aromas of milk and toothpaste. She tasted so good that he didnt ever want to let her go. She was shy. After all, Mo Liuxi was in the house too.


    Dont


    Itll be alright. That boy wont wake up until lunchtime. Nian Junting focused on kissing her, as if she was a delicious dish.


    It was a quiet morning. Sunlight poured in through the window. In the yard, birds were singing in the trees. A handsome man was gently kissing her. Luosang closed her eyes, feeling a little hypnotized.


    Didnt you have enough kissingst night? A cold voice was suddenly heard.


    The two people were so concentrated on the kiss that they both gave a start. Luosang hurriedly pushed Nian Junting away. She pushed him so hard and he wasnt prepared for it. As a result, he fell off the chair.


    Mo Liuxi blinked and looked at Nian Junting, who was sitting on the ground.


    Luosang covered her eyes with her hand. She wished that there was a hole for her to crawl in.


    Her brother caught her kissing a man. It was so embarrassing.


    And after that, she pushed a tall and strong man to the ground.


    Howe I didnt hear youing out? Nian Junting felt extremely awkward. He stood up from the ground and pulled a long face.


    That was exactly why he didnt want to live together with Mo Liuxi.


    However, he was surprised that Luosangs strength didnt grow weak after she got pregnant. On the contrary, she was even stronger than before. It seemed that she had been well-fed recently.


    Thats because you were so involved in that kiss. Its not my problem. Mo Liuxi pulled out a chair, sat down, spread some peanut butter on his toast with a table-knife, then said, Also, as a man, arent you too weak?

 Chapter 837. Oh Well, You Rely on Your Body to Win Over a Lady, You Should Eat More.

    Chapter 837. Oh Well, You Rely on Your Body to Win Over a Lady, You Should Eat More.


    Nian Juntingughed cruelly. Look at your build, if your sister pushed you, you would fly out into the street.COMMENT


    Dont me others for your weak physique, Mo Liuxi teased him.


    You tell him. Nian Junting was ring at Luosang expressionlessly.


    Luosang rubbed her nose. To save her boyfriend from embarrassment, she had to tell the truth. I am pretty strong, I think I could carry your brother-inw around for about ten metres.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. I dont think I need to worry about you bullying my sister then.


    Luosang lowered her head awkwardly.


    Nian Junting patted her hand and smiled. I like that you are as strong as a bull.


    As strong as a bull? Couldnt he phrase it in a more ttering way?


    Mo Liuxi was holding back hisughter as he chewed his toast.


    Nian Junting was peeling an egg for Luosang and Luosang was about to take it from his hands when he insisted on feeding her. Mo Liuxi had a headache watching them exchange sweet gestures like this in front of him. Arent you two adults sick of this?


    Luosang blushed but Nian Junting was aloof. Boy, you will know when you get into a rtionship, you will wish for no one to be around except for your partner. No one else matters.


    Are you hinting at me to leave? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and turned to Luosang. Sister, he doesnt like me.


    Dont listen to him, let me peel an egg for you. Luosang smiled and peeled a hard-boiled egg. Nian Junting quickly intercepted it as she handed the egg over to Mo Liuxi.


    Luos eggs are the best, Nian Juntings expression was bright.


    They were both speechless. This brother-inw was like a fool in love and very childish.


    The police had no news and Nian Junting took leave from work. They didnt have any ns in the afternoon so they stayed in the vi together. Luosang was keen on getting to know her brother better so she was following Mo Liuxi earnestly.


    Liuxi, what are you ying, lets y together.


    Rules of Survivor.


    Great, I downloaded that game too, which server are you on?


    Nian Junting looked at the two of them in the shade of the tree and he felt neglected. Ill y with you guys too.


    I thought you didnt y games, Luosang said.


    Nian Junting looked at her lovingly, You want to get to know Mo Liuxi better and I want to know him better too.


    Luosang was touched and invited him along. She regretted it after five minutes.


    Nian Junting was throwing a tantrum. Where on earth am I? Ive been running for a long time now where is everyone? This game is so boring, Ive found a supply bag again but its practically useless. Forget it Im out, its too boring. Luo, shall we go and take a walk in the garden?


    He switched off the game and pulled Luosang up.


    She wanted to hit him, she was still in the middle of the game and he had interrupted her.


    Mo Liuxi rubbed his ear and looked at them coldly. Please take him away.


    His brother-inw was too noisy.


    After about an hour, Mo Liuxi was tired of ying the game. He changed into swimming trunks to take a swim. Five minutester, Luosang walked over to the poolside. Although the boy was not as agile as Nian Junting in the water, it was still rather peaceful watching him.


    Liuxi, do you want some fruit? Luosang asked.


    Mo Liuxi stopped in the water and looked up at her, his short hair was stuck to the sides of his face and he looked even prettier than a woman.


    What about him?


    Hes doing some work upstairs. Luosang smiled gently.


    Mo Liuxis expression softened and he nodded his head. Luosang wanted to take care of him well so she cut up all sorts of fruit like honeydew and watermelon.


    When she brought the fruit out, she waved happily at Mo Liuxi. Mo Liuxi started swimming towards her. She was neatly cing toothpicks on the cut fruit when a hand reached out from behind.


    Luo, youre so sweet, you cut fruit for me when you know I had to work hard.


    Nian Junting picked up a piece of watermelon, he was purposely picking out the big slices.


    Luosang was stunned. This is for Liuxi.


    What do you mean? Have you forgotten about me now that you have a brother? Nian Junting looked at her grumpily.


    Luosang shut her eyes. Fine, you can have some too.


    She hadpletely underestimated the mans appetite. By the time Liuxi sat down, there was less than half of the bowl left. There was only one sad piece of watermelon in the bowl.


    Dont say that I mistreat you, I left a piece for you. Nian Junting picked up another piece of honeydew. Its so hot today, feels good to have some fruit.


    Mo Liuxi frowned before snatching the bowl away.


    Nian Junting frowned but Luosang red at him. Youve already had so much, leave some for him.


    Alright, Nian Junting put his toothpick down, Are you swimming? I havent swum in so long, lets have a friendlypetition.


    He undressed himself quickly and revealed his strong body. He looked at Mo Liuxi and said, If you want to win over a woman, you need to get bigger, your body looks too weak and frail.


    Mo Liuxi had a few bites of the honeydew and handed the rest over to Luosang. Have some too, its difficult to cut up so much fruit.


    Luo was pleased and she stroked his hair. Liuxi, you are so nice.


    She turned to re at the man beside her. Not like someone else, who only cares about himself.


    NIan Junting cleared his throat awkwardly, Mo Liuxi made him look like a thoughtless man.


    Luo, I was nning to save some for you too, but he snatched the bowl away, Nian Junting tried to defend himself.


    Mo Liuxi said coldly, You had half a bowl to yourself. If I hade anyter, you would have finished the entire bowl. Oh well, you rely on your body to win over ady, you should eat more.


    Nian Junting jumped into the water and said coolly, Lets do twops before I go cut up some fruit for your sister.


    Why should Ipete with you? Mo Liuxis expression was proud.


    Are you scared? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows.


    Fine. Mo Liuxi jumped into the water.


    Luosang had a headache. Be careful boys.


    Dont worry, I just want to get to know your brother better through swimming, Nian Junting smiled at her.


    When thepetition started, the two of themunched from the end of the pool like arrows.


    Luosang knew that Nian Junting was a good swimmer, but Mo Liuxi wasnt half-bad too. His stamina got the better of him at the end as he slowed down and the distance between the two of them lengthened.


    Nian Junting jumped out of the water using his hands as support. He climbed onto the ledge agilely.

 Chapter 838. Im Too Old for Her

    Chapter 838. I''m Too Old for Her


    Mo Liuxi reached the edge of the pool then raised his head to find Nian Junting standing on the ground showing two fingers, his face filled with pride.


    Mo Liuxi wiped his face with a hand, feeling unhappy. He wanted very much to hit him.


    Luosang saw that too. She sneakily walked behind Nian Junting and pushed him into the water without mercy.


    Mo Liuxi smiled.


    The water sshed everywhere. Nian Junting raised his head from the water and red at Luosang, Luo


    Liuxi never served in the army and hes much younger than you. You can surely beat him. Thats nothing to show off about. After saying that, Luosang turned and left.


    Luo, wait for me, Ill cut fruit for you. Nian Junting quickly got out of the water, put on his flip-flops and followed Luosang.


    Mo Liuxi sighed. Those two could really make a lot of noise. He was nning to be the third wheel between them, but now, he started feeling annoyed. Before, he worried that Nian Junting might mistreat Luosang. However, he turned out to be like Luosangs shadow.


    In the vi, Nian Junting cut open a Hami melon.


    Luosang nced at the swimming pool and said helplessly, I was going to do some brother-sister bonding with Liuxi. Why do I see you everywhere?


    I want to be with you whenever I have time. That has be an old habit, Nian Junting said while cutting the melon., You can do the bonding. I wasnt interrupting you.


    You werent? Luosang thought. Wed only started bonding for like three minutes and then you dragged me away.


    Luosang sighed and put a hand on her forehead.


    She told herself that it was alright. She had plenty of time to spend with Mo Liuxi in the future.


    During lunchtime, Lu Kang and An Lan came over for lunch.


    Mo Liuxi said to Lu Kang, Im moving to your ce this afternoon.


    Luosang gave a start. As his sister, she instantly started worrying.


    Whats wrong? Lu Kang asked smilingly.


    This ce is very noisy, Mo Liuxi exined in a vague way, then went back to his room to pack his belongings.


    Nian Junting turned to Luosang and said, I told you not to disturb him. Young boys like quiet.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. How could he even say that? Any smart person would be able to figure out that he was the true reason.


    In the afternoon, news came from the police station. Captain Wu summoned Xu Zhengxuan from prison for trial.


    Hearing that, Luosang and the others immediately went to the police station. When they arrived, Xu Zhengxuan wasing out of the interrogation room.


    Maybe because of some questions that the police asked him, he was red with anger. Seeing Luosang, he finally showed a trace of a relieved smile. Sangsang


    He froze when his eyes saw Mo Liuxi, who was by Luosangs side.


    Last time, he made a mistake and thought that Nian Junting was his son. So this time he was more cautious. His hands were shaking as he asked Luosang uneasily, Sangsang, is this


    Mo Liuxi turned his face away. He was overwhelmed by all sorts of emotions at that moment yet still retained a cold look on his face.


    He is Liuxi. He ismy brother, Luosang sighed slightly.


    Liuxi Xi Zhengxuan was dazed for a while. Suddenly, his eyes turned red. He made two steps forward, attempted to take Mo Liuxis hands.


    Mo Liuxi quickly took two steps backward to avoid him. The cold look in his eyes seemed to keep him a thousand miles away. Dont misunderstand me. Im not here to be your son. Im just here to see what you look like. After all, you gave sperm to my mother, and then she had me.


    Xu Zhengxuan shivered, feeling frustrated. Son, I know you hate me. I didnt abandon you. I thought your mother had aborted you.


    So what? Am I supposed to call you Dad and let you have a son without paying any price? Mo Liuxi said sarcastically. I have no interests to know the stories between you and Mo Jin. We are rted but I will not call you Father because of that. I have no interest in being your son at all.


    After saying that, he turned and walked away coldly.


    My son Xu Zhengxuan tried to follow him but the police officers wouldnt let him.


    The case isnt over yet. The courthouse hasnt made a decision. You cant leave yet, said Captain Wu.


    Xu Zhengxuan murmured Mo Liuxis name with tearful eyes, as if he didnt hear Captain Wu.


    Dad, youll have chances to bond with him when you get out, Luosang hurriedly held his arms.


    I am too ashamed to see him. He was right. I did nothing for him except for giving a sperm. Xu Zhengxuan gave a bitter smile and said, Sangsang, I deserve it. Ive heard about the real reason why Yi Jingxi sought revenge on us. I was stupid. I ruined my family and put you through so much misery. I sent myself to prison. I never thought that Chue Lei waa that kind of woman. I was wrong. I shouldnt have tried to use her to make your mother react. I only wanted your mother to care about me. I wanted her to be jealous.


    Luosang sighed. What could she say? He was her father.


    Oh Sangsang, youve found your brother but what about your mother? Xu Zhengxuan looked around nervously. Meanwhile, he brushed his hair with his fingers.


    Mom is in Xia City. She didnte. Luosang endured the heartache.


    Xu Zhengxuan was disappointed. She hates me. I understand. Is she good? Is she married? Xu Zhengxuan finished his question uneasily.


    No.


    Xu Zhengxuan finally felt relieved. Mo Jin had stayed unmarried for so many years. Did she still love him? Xu Zhengxuan was nervous. He wasnt sure, but he could still see a glimmer of hope.


    What does she look like now? Shes ten years younger than me so I guess she still looks young, Xu Zhengxuan said with a bitter voice.


    I have photos. Ill show you. Luosang showed him Mo Jins photo.


    Xu Zhengxuan gazed at the photo and his eyes turned red again.


    He gently stroked the phone screen and said, She looks so young. Shes still so pretty. Im old. Im no longer good enough for her.


    He turned his face away sadly. Twenty years ago, he was a college teacher who had a bright future. He was handsome and charming while she was an orphan. Twenty years had passed. He became a prisoner while she stayed stunningly beautiful.


    Was that his punishment?


    You need to stop talking, Captain Wu reminded them. Just be patient. Hell be released very soon.


    Xu Zhengxuan was taken away by the police officers. Luosang was upset and buried her face in Nian Juntings arms.


    Nian Junting sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and said, Luo, buy me some skincare products when we get back.


    The sad Luosang was awfully confused by his words.


    Nian Junting carried on, You see, your father is ten years older than your mother. Nothing was wrong when they were young, but as they grew older and older, the difference between them has turned more and more obvious. I need some skincare.


    Luosang was speechless. Was he trying to say that Xu Zhengxuan now looked much older than Mo Jin? That would have broken Xu Zhengxuans heart.

 Chapter 839. Liuxi… Im sorry

    Chapter 839. Liuxi�� I''m sorry


    Dont say these things to my dad in the future when he gets released, Luosang reminded him.


    Of course, Nian Junting nodded his head.


    Luosang noticed Mo Liuxi standing outside the police station when they walked out. He had a cigarette in his hands. He looked handsome even when he was smoking.


    Junting, you go ahead back to the car. I want to talk to Liuxi about something, Luosang said to Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting frowned a little but went ahead anyway.


    Dont smoke, Luosang walked over and plucked the cigarette from his hand. Look at Junting, he never smokes, its bad for your health.


    Im just annoyed, Mo Liuxi said casually.


    Youre annoyed because you care about that man, Luosang smiled gently. If not, you would have treated this matter a lot more indifferently.


    Mo Liuxi was silent.


    She was right, he had thought that he could maintain his indifference when he met Xu Zhengxuan but in the end, he found it hard to control his emotions.


    Liuxi, when I found out that Mother wasnt dead, I was thrilled. But I cant deny that I was resentful too. How could she give birth to me but choose to walk away from me?


    Luosang said dejectedly, I understand now that she didnt have it easy overseas. It must have been hard to bring up a child alone in a foreignnd. Even if she did want toe back for me, Father would have denied her. I know all this but its still difficult to let go of all my resentment. I would have been content to know if she came back to look at me from afar. Although I can understand her difficulties, the truth is that she missed out on a huge part of my growing up. Its regrettable but Id rather keep the hurt to myself and spend the rest of my life treasuring the time I have with her now. She is twenty years older than me so she will have to depart from this world earlier. Time is precious and I dont want to waste any more time dwelling on the past.


    Mo Liuxi shook his head. Im different from you. You led afortable life and Xu Zhengxuan dedicated most of his resources to care for you and bring you up. Since I could remember, life hasnt been easy for me. When I was in kindergarten, my mother had to pick me up every day because we didnt have enough money. Some days, she came sote after work that I was always left waiting alone in the cold. It would be snowing in winter and my hands and feet would be frozen, my bones ached when I walked. I started doing chores when I was four years old, reheating food from the day before on a little stove. There was one time when I almost burnt the kitchen down, I nearly died back then. Thendlord chased us out afterwards and the two of us roamed the streets in the cold. Mother gave me all the clothes on her and she nearly froze to death. We had so many encounters like that and met far too few good Samaritans. She thought about sending me back; I was a Xu familys son after all. I could lead afortable life back here. She even booked me a flight but if I hade back, she would have been left all alone back there.


    Luosang was stunned.


    Mo Jin only told her that they were extremely poor then, she had spared her the details.


    Liuxi she leaned on his shoulder gently, Im sorry.


    Its not your fault, Lady Mo had a difficult time raising me. She would rather she starved herself than let me go without a meal. She would rather she froze herself than let me catch a cold. Although she had no power or authority, she never let anyone bully me. She was the one who spent nights with me when I fell ill.


    What about that man in jail? What has he done for me, has he fed me one meal, bought me one piece of clothing? Although he wasnt absent from my life intentionally, although he didnt even know that I existed, he is a stranger to me. Not just that, he ruined a womans life. Why do you think Mother didnt marry again after so many years? She had poured out all her love in her first marriage and she was traumatized about how it had ended. She couldnt trust love again so she never found another man. Because she was locked up in the room in the past, she developed ustrophobia. She cant be in a closed space by herself now.


    Xu Zhengxuan might have been a good father to you, but to me he is just a loser who let my mother down.


    Luosang was quiet. She had wondered why Mo Jin never remarried. She thought that Mo Jin couldnt forget Xu Zhengxuan. She had thought wrongly.


    Mo Liuxi inhaled slowly, Im going back to Xia City. Ive seen him now, I think he will be released in a couple of days. Although he is my father, Im not keen on having much interaction with him.


    Ok.


    When they were back at the vi, Mo Liuxi packed his bags and left promptly. He didnt ask Nian Junting to arrange anyone to drive him.


    Luosang sat by herself on the balcony after he left.


    Luo, what did you guys talk about? I thought you wanted to build your rtionship with him? Nian Junting pressed his palms onto her shoulder.


    I cant go back and talk to him, theres no point in forcing him to stay if he doesnt want to. Luosang was still looking at the dusky skies outside. Ive realized that I was much more privilegedpared to Liuxi. I should treat him nicer in the future.


    Ok.


    They spent three days in An City. An Lan brought them good news from the police station; the trial of Yi Jingxi and Xu Zhengxuan would be brought forward to the supreme court. The trial would start on Friday. No matter how heavily Yi Jingxi and Principal Cheng would be sentenced this time, Xu Zhengxuan would be let out for sure.


    On Thursday afternoon, Nian Junting was in a video conference in the study when there was a ring on the doorbell. Luosang opened the door expecting An Lan, but instead she saw Chu Lei through the screen. On the surveince camera, she was looking around the porch.


    Luosang had only seen Chu Lei once and she had been dressed cleanly but she looked frazzled and disheveled today. Luosang hesitated about whether she should let her in.


    The doorbell kept ringing until Nian Junting came down from the staircase. Why arent you opening the door?


    Its Chu Lei, Luosang said hesitantly, Shes probably here about Yi Jingxi.


    Nian Junting could sense her hesitance but he opened the gates. Let her in. She ruined your family after all so lets take a closer look at her.


    They walked out together and Chu Lei approached them timidly. When she caught sight of Luosang, she suddenly fell to the ground and started bowing to her. Luosang was pregnant and didnt dare to go any closer to her. Nian Junting watched her coldly.


    After a while, she shuffled to Luosang still on her knees and grabbed her pants. Miss Xu, I beg you, please let Yi Jingxi off. He is innocent, I ruined his life. Its all my fault, I shouldnt have lied to him, me me for everything. If you want revenge, take it out on me, I dont care if you send me to prison.


    Luosang was angry. She thought that Chu Lei was even more incorrigible than Jiang Qifei.


    Youre pleading for mercy now. Have you forgotten the time when Yi Jingxi sent my dad to prison and stole everything from me? Did you grant me mercy then?

 Chapter 840. Yi Jingxi Was Sentenced

    Chapter 840. Yi Jingxi Was Sentenced


    Luosang was full of anger too. Now your son is going to prison and you came to us begging for mercy. Whats that called? You have only yourself to thank. Thats called karma.


    I didnt dare to tell the truth back at that time. I made up a lie, I shouldnt have. Jingxi believed that lie. I really didnt have the courage to tell him the truth as our rtionship finally turned better. I have talked to him. I told him not to hurt your family. I didnt know it when he got close to you. I only found out about that after your father went to prison.


    Chu Lei sobbed and pressed a hand to her chest. I was even more afraid to tell the truth back then. I could only escape. I hid in a nursing home. When you came to find me, I wanted to tell you the truth. But I was really afraid that I might lose him. Once I told you the truth, hed go to jail. Because he had broken thew.


    Thew will not spare any criminal. Do you think that as long as you didnt tell, wed never know the truth? The longer my father has spent in prison, the longer hell be in there. It wont be too long, only about four to seven years. You should know that. Finished talking, Luosang turned and left.


    Miss. Xu, you loved him after all. He loves you too Chu Lei was pushed away by Nian Junting before she could even finish.


    She fell to the ground and saw Nian Junting staring at her coldly and fiercely. She couldnt help but shiver.


    Luosangughed with anger. I was so unlucky that I met him and let him fall in love with me. Hes not even thirty yet. Is a couple of years too long for him? Because of you and your son, my father was nearly going to spend the rest of his life in prison. Dont let me see you again. The more I see you, the angrier and more disgusted Ill be. I even want him to be in prison until he dies.


    Chu Lei trembled with fear. She kowtowed to Luosang endlessly.


    Cast her out, Nian Junting said to Lu Kang.


    Lu Kang immediately dragged Chu Lei up from the ground and headed toward the exit.


    Wait Luosang abruptly asked a question, Whos the father of that baby? What exactly happened between you and my father? I hope you can tell me the truth. At this point, you have no reason to make up more lies.


    Chu Lei raised her head and responded with a bitter look. I wanted to be with your father but he didnt like me. Later on, I became a producers mistress in order to be a star. I thought Id be a star but it turned out that he was only ying with me. I got pregnant. I was so downhearted. I decided to abort that child and go home to live with Jingxis father. I was happy in those years. I decided to forget about the past and start a new life.


    I never thought that his father would find out about the child. I didnt want him to think of me as a shameless woman so I lied to him. I thought he wouldnt do anything to your father. After all, it was a long way between my hometown and your fathers school. However He had an ident in a hotel near the school he was burned to death.


    An indescribable dislike toward Chu Lei rose in Luosangs heart.


    My father will always regret having a student like you. Dont evere to me again. If you make me angry, I might sue Yi Jingxi for taking away my filmpany through illegal means. Hed spend even longer in prison. Luosang turned and walked into the room without looking at Chu Lei.


    After she closed the door, Luosang buried her face in Nian Juntings arms.


    Junting, Im so upset.


    Nian Junting patted her shoulder. He honestly didnt know how tofort her. So he said, Stop overthinking. Its your father who should really be upset.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    Friday, nine am.


    Xu Zhengxuans case came before the court again.


    Luosang went to the courthouse with Nian Junting and the others early in the morning.


    In the court, Xu Zhengxuan looked around then dropped his head disappointedly.


    The trial was mainly about the prosecutor using Principal Cheng. Yi Jingxi was both a suspect and a victim. He had also provided evidence. No matter how Principal Chengswyer defended him, he couldnt possibly get away with it because the prosecutor was holding strong evidence.


    Atst, Xu Zhengquan was acquitted and released. He would also receive reasonablepensation from the government.


    Luosang stood up with excitement. The judge continued, Yi Jingxi and Cheng Fang will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of five years for deliberately falsifying evidence.


    Jingxi Chu Lei burst into tears.


    Yi Jingxi gave a bitter smile. From the beginning to the end, he didnt even nce at Chu Lei, but fixed his eyes on Luosang who was hugging Xu Zhengxuan.


    His eyes turned misty. The police officers came to take him away.


    While walking past Xu Zhengxuan and Luosang, he said with a low voice, Uncle Xu, Im sorry.


    You shouldnt say sorry to me. You should say that to Luosang and your own conscience, Xu Zhengxuan responded with a deep frown.


    He had liked that young man before, but unexpectedly


    He was stupid. He couldnt believe that he actually tried to use Chu Lei to make Mo Jin jealous. He felt no pity for himself. He believed he deserves all that he had suffered.


    Sangsang I wish you a happy life with Nian Junting, Yi Jingxi gave a sad smile. Seeing Nian Junting walk over, he said to him, Nian Junting, if you mistreat Luosang, Ill make you suffer in five years when I get out of prison.


    When you get out, I might have three kids already, Nian Junting snorted then turned away.


    The police officers took Yi Jingxi away. Chu Lei followed them out while crying. Out there, a group of reporters were taking photos.


    Luosang held Xu Zhengxuans hands and said, Dad, lets go home.


    I dont have a home anymore, Xu Zhengxuan smiled bitterly.


    His name had been cleared, but what he had lost would nevere back. The government wouldpensate him ording to the average daily ie in recent years, with an added sum for mental sufferingpensation.


    Yi Jingxi bought our house. He went to prison now and the government has given it back to us. Luosang put her arm around his and said, You may enjoy your retirement from now on.


    If you really have nothing to do, you cane to help with babysitting, said Nian Justing abruptly.


    Ba-baby? Xu Zhengxuan was confused. He turned to his daughter, saw her lower her head awkwardly. You are not


    Father, Luo is already pregnant for over three months. We n to get married in October, Nian Junting said smilingly.


    Xu Zhengxuans eyes popped out with anger. They had only been together for a short time, yet she already got pregnant. Hadnt he been telling his daughter to protect herself since she was a little girl? Didnt he tell her that she should not have sex before getting married?


    You


    He red at Nian Junting. Nian Junting looked at him, seeming to be honest and frank. Xu Zhengxuan suddenly didnt know what to say. He had been in prison after all. His daughter became someone hated by everyone. However, Nian Junting was helping her all the time. He worked on his case, found evidence, made a lot of effort. How many men could do what he had done? Even though that son-inw of his was a little thick-skinned, as long as he loved his daughter and was nice to her


    Youre pregnant. You should get married, he mumbled. Treat my daughter well

 Chapter 841. Im helping Luosang to Scratch an Itch

    Chapter 841. I''m helping Luosang to Scratch an Itch


    Absolutely, Nian Junting said happily. Come on dad, lets get out of here, were nevering back to this ce again.


    When they walked out, there was a bunch of reporters eager to snap photos of them.


    Lu Kang drove over and they got in the car.


    Xu Zhengxuan looked around and finally asked, Where is your brother?


    Luosang could not bear to tell him the truth.


    Tears were welling up in Xu Zhengxuans eyes. He hates me and he doesnt want to see me, right?


    Dad, Mother had a difficult time raising him on her own, especially when he was little. Luosang stopped herself from speaking further.


    Xu Zhengxuan nodded his head. I understand, I was a fool back then, I let them both down. Where are they now?


    In Xia City.


    Can we go there now? Xu Zhengxuan said agitatedly. I want to see them, even if they hate me. I want to apologize to your mother until she forgives me.


    Luosang was in a difficult spot. Dad, its over between the two of you, you should move on too. Mother wont be too happy to talk about the past.


    Xu Zhengxuan sighed. When we were young, we were very much in love. We hid our feelings from each other because of our pride. It has been years and I must exin myself to her. Even if she doesnt love me anymore, Im ok with that.


    Luosang could only nod her head. Even so, youre not in a rush to do it now. Lets go home first.


    When they arrived at their old home, they realized that the dcor had stayed pretty much the same.


    When Nian Junting entered Luosangs bedroom, he was triggered by many of the photos ced all over her room. Is Yi Jingxi sick in the mind?


    Lets remove them. Luosang couldnt stand seeing the old photos as well.


    Nian Junting tore a photo from the wall. It was a picture of Luosang kissing Yi Jingxi and she looked happy and contented. He red at the woman beside him.


    Luosang didnt say anything and took his lips to hers as she proceeded to tear the photo into two.


    Nian Juntings expression lightened. When they were almost done with the photos, Luosang turned to see Nian Junting sniffing the bed in her bedroom like a dog.


    What are you doing? she asked.


    Yi Jingxi must havein in your bed before, I can smell a disgusting stench.


    Your nose is like an animals.


    Nian Junting threw out the bedsheet as well. Lu Kang brought a new bed cover and they changed to the new set.


    When they were done tidying up, Nian Junting carried Luosang over to the bed.


    Junting, this is most rxing day I have had in three years, Luosang said introspectively. Ive always wanted to redress my fathers grievances but I didnt expect this day toe so quickly, thank you.


    Nian Junting patted her head. Only a simple thank you?


    What else do you want? Im even carrying your child now, Luosang said coyly.


    Nian Junting nted a kiss on her lips. Luosang yfully bit his lips.


    Naughty, Nian Junting spanked her behind yfully with one hand and his other hand quickly disappeared inside her pants.


    Luosang shivered and she felt a tension in her lower abdomen, she was blushing now.


    Sang is your mother staying with Junting in An City? Xu Zhengxuan suddenly walked in.


    The door wasnt locked, he was shocked when he saw them and then a little angry. The two reacted quickly and sprung up. Nian Junting was thick-skinned so his expression stayed the same. But Luosang was embarrassed and her fair cheeks were bright pink. Since she was young, Xu Zhengxuan had taught her that she should not engage in any pre-marital sex. He had made sure she followed his teaching when she was with Yi Jingxi.


    You brat! Xu Zhengxuan was enraged.


    Although he already knew that Luosang was pregnant, he was still upset to see his daughter being taken advantage of. It was like someone had stolen his beloved little girl.


    Nian Junting stood up immediately and said in all seriousness, Dad, Im helping Luosang to scratch an itch, she said that her belly was itchy.


    How could he spout such nonsensical lies?


    Xu Zhengxuan was angry. Did he take him for an idiot? His son-inw was so shameless.


    Luosang just wanted to move on from this embarrassing topic and she asked quickly, Dad, what were you asking me earlier on?


    I was asking you where your mother was staying at now. Is she staying with Junting? Xu Zhengxuan was a little embarrassed about his eagerness to find out about Mo Jin.


    Nope, Nian Junting smiled. She stays next to us, she bought a vi in our estate.


    Xu Zhengxuan was stunned, he could tell how rich Nian Junting was, his estate property must cost a fortune.


    Your mother what does she do now for a living? Xu Zhengxuan stuttered with embarrassment.


    Luosang told him the truth. She makes short films and does photography as a side job but she owns a couple of well-established estates. She is the illegitimate daughter of the Morrison family. They reunited five years ago and she inherited their assets.


    Nian Junting added, The Morrisons owns the world-renowned steelpany.


    Xu Zhengxuan was silent. He looked happy but tears were welling up in his eyes.


    Thats good. Your mother was an orphan and she always wanted to reunite with her family. Im d she has found her own n now; her status has changed dramatically as well.


    Now he was an ex-convict and jobless. Hed lost hispany too. Mo Jin was in a good ce but she was out of his league now. Like how he used to look at her from above. It was retribution on him, fate was ying a cruel joke on him.


    Luosang was a woman, she didnt understand why her father fell silent suddenly, but Nian Junting could understand his feelings. Dad, you were framed back then. Principal Cheng will be investigated now. I will find a way for you to regain your position again.


    Xu Zhengxuan was stunned and a tear escaped his eyes. Junting, well


    The court made a mistake back then and wasted three years of your life and ruined your reputation. They cant just patronize you with three years worth of sry, you should regain what belonged to you. Nian Junting patted his shoulder. You are still young.


    Am I still young? Xu Zhengxuan grimaced.


    Of course, dad. Although your hair has turned white, your skin has retained its sticity. Luosang and I will bring you to the hair salon tomorrow to dye your hair ck and you will look forty again. I can tell that you must have been extremely dashing when you were young; look at how beautiful and perfect Luosang turned out. Although youre older now, you are the most charismatic elder I have ever met.


    Really? Xu Zhengxuan was glowing now.

 Chapter 842. As Your Punishment, You Need to Kneel on a Keyboard by the Bedside

    Chapter 842. As Your Punishment, You Need to Kneel on a Keyboard by the Bedside


    Father, you are my father inw. I wont lie to you. Nian Junting smiled.


    Xu Zhengxuan patted him on the shoulder and said, Junting, thank you. Sangsang is lucky to have you. You two carry on. Ill leave you two alone.


    Father, thank you for educating Luo so well, Nian Junting said honestly. You were strict with her, so she was perfect when I met her, in both physical terms and mental terms. I will treat her well. I will take care of her, and you too.


    Hearing him mentioning the word physical, Luosangs face reddened immediately. She gave him a re.


    Im d that you know. Xu Zhengxuan gave a relieved smile. He was happy to know that Nian Junting was in awe of that. I was strict on her indeed, yet still, you stole her away. If you mistreat my daughter or break her heart, Ill kill you, even though you just saved me.


    Shes the bully between the two of us. I dont dare to disobey her, Nian Junting said with honesty.


    Good boy. Ill leave you two alone. Xu Zhengxuan patted his shoulder again. Dont forget to close the door.


    Luosang felt speechless.


    Who angrily called him little b*stard earlier? She thought.


    By the door, Xu Zhengxuan turned and said to Nian Junting, I need to dye my hair tomorrow. Dont forget about that.


    I wont, Nian Junting shook his head.


    Xu Zhengxuan closed the door while leaving. Nian Junting once again put his arms around Luosang and put her onto the bed. His hands were all over her.


    Luosang caught his hands and said, I just found that youre better and better at bootlicking.


    I learned that recently.


    Nian Junting buried his head in her neck. His hot breathing made Luosangs neck numb and itchy. Before, everyone I met tried to fawn on me. But now, in order to turn you into my wife, I have to put down my self-esteem and lick the boots of my mother and father inw.


    Luo, I said nicer words today than Ive ever said in the past twenty years. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Luosang helplessly.


    Luosang couldnt help but recall what he was like before. He was cold and proud like a peacock, as if no one in the world was good enough for him. She sighed. She could not believe that this man was going to be her husband.


    Junting


    Luosang held his handsome face with both her hands and said, Even if yourpany closed down one day, youd still be able to make money by being a salesman.


    Nian Junting was expecting herpliment. However, when hearing what she said, he pulled a long face. He was such a smart and wise man. Would hispany ever close down? Was that even possible?


    Luo, Im not like you. I wont let mypany close down, he said in a vague and gentle way. I wont let anyone take away my shares. Thats the difference between you and me. Thats the difference between a genius and a


    Luosang red at him and warned him through clenched teeth, Carry on. If he continued, shed bite him to death.


    Nian Junting pinched her cheeks which had bulged in anger, feeling that she was so adorable.


    Dont touch me. Luosang pped away his hands and said, Go to the bedside and kneel on a keyboard. Thats your punishment.


    Nian Junting paused briefly and smiled. Luo, a man doesnt kneel easily. Ill only kneel before the gravestones of my ancestors.


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said, Who just told my father that he doesnt dare to disobey me? Now Im only asking you to kneel yet you refuse.


    Nian Junting respondedposedly, I was coaxing your father. How can you believe that? Youre so silly and naive. No wonder you lost your family business to someone else.


    Deep and charmingughter uttered from his throat as he also scratched the top of her nose. Luosang stared at him in anger. She really wanted to bite him to death. He always mentioned her sore spot.


    So shameless.


    Good girl, lets make out. Im so tiredtely. Nian Justing smilingly and gently put her down on therge bed.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    You are tired, but you want to make out? She thought. If she wasnt pregnant, shed have kicked him off the bed.


    Next day, after breakfast, Xu Zhengxuan left hastily to get his hair dyed.


    Last night, Nian Junting had asked Lu Kang to find the best hair salon in An City for him. The stylist cut his hair short in a proper style then dyed his hair ck. Luosang sat on the couch, waiting for him. She was a little bored, so she started browsing the thick book of hair color samples. As a young girl she had found every color in that book pretty.


    Junting, after I give birth to the baby, I want to dye my hair to this amber color. What do you think? Luosang showed the color to Nian Junting.


    Are you worried that I might stop liking you after you give birth? Is that why you want to make yourself prettier? Nian Junting happily raised his eyebrows. He put an arm around her then kissed her on the cheek and, said, Dont worry. Ill always like you, no matter what you look like.


    Luosang found that it was difficult to continue many conversations with him recently.


    Im asking you if this color suits me or not. She said.


    Every color suits you, Nian Junting responded while inhaling the faint and refreshing aroma from her, My girl is the prettiest girl in the world.


    Only after hearing that did Luosang felt slightly better. From the mirror, Xu Zhengxuan nced at the inseparable pair, feelingplicated. He remembered that Luosang was never so close with Yi Jingxi when she was with him. It seemed that not everything that happened while he was in prison was bad. At the very least, his daughter met a man who truly loved her, in the most difficult situation. It was easy for a girl to meet a nice man when she was doing good at everything, but only under a difficult situation, would she see the true quality of that man.


    Mr. Xu, your daughter and son-inw really are a perfect couple, said the stylist with a smile.


    Hearing that, Xu Zhengxuan gave a grin. After getting his hair dyed, Nian Junting and Luosang took Xu Zhengxuan shopping and bought a few suits for him.


    Next day, they flew to Xia City.


    Once the car had driven into the neighborhood, Xu Zhengxuan started adjusting his hair and clothes, and also asked his daughter from time to time, Sangsang, do I look good? Is anything wrong?


    Nothing is wrong, Luosang said. However, she was worried.


    Clearly, Xu Zhengxuan wanted to get back together with Mo Jin. However, they had separated for decades and Mo Jin did not have that same n.


    Sangsang, bring me to where your mother and Liuxi live, said Xu Zhengxuan.


    Luosangs head hurt. Dad, to be honest, Mom hates you. She even gets unhappy when hearing your name. I think maybe you should just live a separate life. Didnt you get through all those years without her?


    Xu Zhengxuan smiled bitterly. He did get through all those years. He never thought about marrying another woman and wasnt able to develop any interest in any other woman. He told his daughter that she was dead, but deep down, he always wished that she woulde back.


    Just take me there. Even if she yells at me, Ill listen to her. Ive thought about it. Ill be happy even if she scolds me. Itll be better than losing her. She left me and I had no one to even argue with, Xu Zhengxuan sighed.


    Once he said that, Luosang and Nian Junting had no choice but to take him to Mo Jins house and press the doorbell.

 Chapter 843. Nian Xi commented, “Wow, the Washing Board Really Suits my Brother.”

    Chapter 843. Nian Ximented, ��Wow, the Washing Board Really Suits my Brother.��


    Five minutester, Mo Jin came to the door. She smiled when she saw Luosang. Sang, I was just going to call you to ask when you wereing back


    Xiao Jin, I havent seen you in so long. Xu Zhengxuan suddenly emerged from the back, his eyes were red with tears.


    Mo Jins expression froze and her heart sank.


    She wished to burn the man in front of her alive.


    But her daughter was around so she had to control her emotions. It disgusts me when you call me that, I wish I could change my name.


    Her personality was as ruthless as before.


    Xu Zhengxuan was heartened that she was still the familiar person he knew. I was in the wrong in the past, I was such a fool. I didnt know how to love someone properly, you can scold me all you want, you can even make me kneel on the washing board. I always kept the board that you prepared when we got married. Look, I brought it with me.


    With that, he opened a big bag and took out an old piece of washing board.


    Nian Junting was in shock. Xu Zhengxuan had even brought the board along with him, he was in awe of his father-inw.


    Mo Jin only felt angrier. How many times have you knelt on the board? Not even once! Dont put on an act in front of me, you were always good at ying the victim since we were young. I was tricked by you; you are a wolf in sheeps clothing.


    Xu Zhengxuan lowered his head.


    Mo Jin continued angrily, Look at you now, look how old you look. Dont think I cant tell that you dyed your hair, I can smell that pungent smell of chemical on you. Your wrinkles are deeper than the canal, you look like youre sixty years old now. Youre an ex-convict now, your assets cantpare to a smidgen of my wealth. Why should I take you back? Your family despised me for my family background back then so now that Im rich and happy, why should I be with an old bag like you?


    She mmed the door in their face after that. Xu Zhengxuans face was pale.


    He felt shaky after her outburst.


    Luosang held onto him anxiously. Dad, I thought you said you were ok to be scolded by Mother however she liked?


    Xu Zhengxuan chuckled pitifully. I could take however she scolds me but she said that I looked old and called me out for dyeing my hair. Look at how well she has maintained herself. She was right. Im so pathetic now, why should she be with someone like me?


    Luosang sighed. Her mothers tongue wasparable to Nian Junting. If her child inherited Nian Junting and her mothers personality, she would have an aggressive disposition. Many kids took after their grandma nowadays.


    Junting, I probably wont need to use this board anymore, you can have it. Xu ZHengxuan handed the board to him. If you do something wrong in the future, you have to kneel and beg for your wifes forgiveness. I didnt do a proper job when I was young, now I dont even have the chance to redeem myself.


    Nian Junting took the board hesitantly.


    Do you hear him? Luosang tried to hold back herughter as she helped Xu Zhengxuan back to the vi along with Nian Junting.


    After being away for days, she found that she had missed the city. For a while now, Xia City had be her home. At night, Luosang posted a picture of the washing board on her social media.


    The caption read, Grandfathers family treasure is a jade pendant but my fathers family treasure is a washing board.


    Nian Ximented, Wow, the washing board really suits my brother.


    Murong Cheng said, Wow, it really suits my son.


    Nian Qingyun replied to her, It actually suits me too.


    Murong Cheng, Get away from me.


    Mo Liuxi, Haha.


    Yan Su, The washing board pales inparison.


    Ji Nuanyi, A good washing bard.


    Xiao Si replied to Ji Nuanyi, I can give you one too.


    Ji Nuanyi replied, Ok.


    Nian Junting replied to Xiao Si, A pitiful man who can only flirt on social media.


    Xiao Si replied to him, Scram.


    Luosangy in bed giggling at thements on her post.


    Nian Junting came up after his shower. Maybe your dad will take the washing board back.


    Luosang disagreed with him. I think my dad is pretty traumatized, I think hes going to give up now.


    You never know, Nian Junting chuckled, A man usually doesnt give up so easily.


    Luosang was surprised.


    Nian Junting pulled her into his arms. Dont think too much about it, let the adults settle their own affairs. I dont think your mother has lost all feelings for your dad. If not, she would not have held onto the hatred for so long. There cant be hate without any love. Why would she be so cruel if she doesnt care about him at all?


    Luosang frowned. Junting, if my dad wants to win back my mother and brother, he would have to stay here a while longer


    Thats no problem, we have so many rooms here. I dont care if your dad wants to stay with us in the future as well, Nian Junting said lovingly.


    Thank you, Junting. Luosang heaved a sigh of relief.


    Truthfully, she couldnt put her mind at ease leaving Xu Zhengxuan home alone after he had just been released from prison.


    The next morning, Luosang went around looking for him but he was nowhere to be found.


    She asked Sister Lan and she said, I saw him standing at your mothers vi when I went out to get groceries.


    Luosang was surprised, Nian Junting was right.


    She was worried and went over looking for him to see him standing at Mo Jins gates. She had the keys but she was worried that Mo Jin would be upset if she just let themselves in.


    Dad, I thought you were going to give up? Luosang asked him.


    Yeah, but I thought about the possibility of your mother with another man and I was devastated. It would turn me crazy. Ive decided that I must try my best even if she finds me old and ugly now. Xu Zhengxuan waved her away, Leave me be, go back home. I believe that I can impress her with my sincerity and determination.


    Luosang had no choice but she asked Sister Lan to deliver an umbre and a stool for her father. She was worried that he would have a heatstroke in this weather.


    At the beginning, she thought he would onlyst a few days but two weeks passed and he showed no signs of giving up. When Nian Qingyun came over to discuss the guest list for their wedding, he was shocked at his determination too when he saw Xu Zhengxuan standing outside the gates.


    Isnt he afraid that he might get heatstroke in this weather?


    Sister Lan smiled. He did a few days ago. The security guard told me and I rushed over with Butler Wu. When I got there however, we found out that Sangs mother had already brought him inside. Mr. Xu was even more motivated after that, he is acting like a young man in love.


    Nian Qingyun was stunned and he thought about his own situation. He had an in-depth discussion with Xu Zhengxuan at dinner.


    Xu Zhengxuans expression changed when he found out that Nian Qingyun cheated on his wife when he was young and he said seriously, Since you already betrayed her, you should pay for the consequences of your infidelity. You should leave your ex-wife be.

 Chapter 844. Please Dont Mind, He Hardly Ever Listened to Music

    Chapter 844. Please Don''t Mind, He Hardly Ever Listened to Music


    Hearing that, Nian Qingyun instantly got angry. What makes you think that you can say that about me? Didnt you betray your wife and flirt with another woman when you were young? At least I managed to make my ex-wife and my parents get along well.


    I didnt really cheat on her. Besides, I did that because I wasnt mature enough. I used the wrong method to make her care about me. However, you betrayed your wife both physically and mentally at that time, Xu Zhengxuan said straightforwardly. I never loved another woman, not even for a second.


    Nian Qingyun sneered. At the very least, I didnt lose my family business to someone and put my daughter in a miserable situation, and I didnt force my ex-wife to leave the country.


    That is a personal attack. Xu Zhengxuan got angry as well.


    I think youre doing the same.


    Dad, stop. Luosang even lost her appetite. You two should sympathize with each other as youre in simr situations. Why are you fighting?


    Whos in a simr situation to him? Dontpare me to him, said Xu Zhengxuan.


    Nian Qingyun stood up angrily. Im not stupid enough to try to flirt with another woman to try to make my wife jealous.


    Junting, say something, Luosang pushed Nian Junting who was eating.


    No. I dont want to offend either of them. Nian Junting leisurely picked a piece of sashimi, put it into his mouth, then said, So delicious. It melted in my mouth.


    Luosang wanted it too.


    Im leaving. Nian Qingyun left in anger.


    A couple of dayster, Murong Cheng came to visit Luosang. Sheined to Nian Junting, Is your father sick? Thest weekend, he went to mypany and waited for me downstairs. He stood there for two whole days, even got sunstroke.


    And then? Nian Junting asked curiously.


    Then I called the ambnce.


    Luosang stayed silent. Suddenly, she felt that her father was way luckier than Nian Qingyun.


    August was ending, the new school term was going to begin.


    A new batch of students entered Ximei.


    However, as a fourth year student, Luosang had nothing to do with it. Some students were preparing for the entrance exam for postgraduate school, and some were applying for jobs. However, the school was pretty strict, and the fourth year students still had to attend some required courses.


    Before the school term began, Luosang moved back into her apartment so she could attend sses more conveniently. Nian Junting and Xu Zhengxuan escorted her to the apartment. Recently, Yan Su frequently went to other cities for all kinds of events andmercial performances and rarely came home. So the apartment seemed to be a little empty. However, as Luosang moved back, the fridge was filled with all kinds of food.


    About five oclock, Xu Zhengxuan took some food out of the fridge then said to Luosang, Luo, go and invite your mother and brother here for dinner.


    Luosang and Mo Liuxi had upied the whole floor, so the door was open.


    Luosang went over and saw that Mo Jin was sweeping the floor.


    Seeing her daughter, Mo Jin gave a guilty look. Sangsang, I was here to see what you need, but your father I dont want to see him, so I


    Mom, its alright. I have everything I need. Luosang nced at the kitchen, saw that they werent cooking. Junting bought a lot of food. Lets have dinner together.


    Mo Jin frowned. Before she said anything, Luosang held her hands and said, Mom, ever since Dad came here, youve never had a meal with us in the vi. The people who dont know what happened may think that you dont like my father and me. You guys have divorced but you have children after all. You still need to talk to each other at some point. At my wedding, you and my father will need to stand side by side on the stage and sit together around the same table. In the future, when my baby is born, you guys still need to have meals together. You need to get used to this. Youve been acting so weirdly; it almost makes me feel that you still like him.


    Nonsense! Mo Jin immediately denied it. Ill lose my appetite as soon as I see him.


    Luosang smiled. You need to get used to it, whether you have an appetite or not.


    Mo Jin didnt know what to say, but gave an annoyed look. Alright. Ill be there at dinner time.


    As Mo Jin had agreed toe, Xu Zhengxuan was thrilled. He decided to make over ten dishes for dinner. Nian Junting was sent into the kitchen to help his father-inw. However, in just ten minutes, Xu Zhengxuan kicked him out of the kitchen.


    About six, Yan Su came back from work carrying a lot of luggage. Luosang hurriedly went up to her, saying, Wow, my big star is back!


    Not a big star, Yan Su smiled, Im just starting to get popr.


    Dont be too humble. On the radio, on the streets, your songs are on loop wherever I go.


    Luosang sincerely felt happy for her. Your title track has won the Best Song Award, and youve gotten into the list of popr female singers at . Countlesspanies want you to endorse their products. Arent you a big star? Su, youll catch everyones eyes tomorrow at school. Some of your fans left you messages on the inte saying that theylle to see you tomorrow at the school. Im not going to school with you tomorrow. It wont be safe for a pregnant woman like me as we might get crowded.


    Alright. Yan Su didnt try to change her mind.


    She had received the message too. Some of her fans woulde to the school.


    Before the dinner started, Mo Jin and Mo Liuxi came over. Looking at all those dishes on the table, Nian Junting even started to admire his father-inw. He was so good at cooking. However, those dishes werent Luosangs favorite, nor were they his.


    ncing at Mo Jin, Nian Junting figured it out.


    Here, try some of this, Xu Zhengxuan attentively picked some food for Mo Jin. There are all your favorites.


    Ill do it myself. Mo Jin took away her bowl and said, Dont tell me what is my favorite. It has been decades. My preferences changed long ago.


    Xu Zhengxuan was disappointed for a second but then he immediately replied with, Its okay. Whatever you like, Ill learn to cook for you.


    Just eat. Why do you have so much to say? There are so many people here. Arent you ashamed?


    Mo Jins cheeks reddened slightly as she gave Xu Zhengxuan a re. Xu Zhengxuan was smiling the whole time.


    Mo Jin ignored him but turned and talked to Yan Su smilingly. Ive listened to your songs. Your songs are beautiful. Im surprised that my daughter has made friends with a popr singer. Everybody knows your name.


    Thank you. Hearing thepliment, Yan Su was a little shy.


    Mo Liuxi who was eating quietly abruptly joined the conversation. I didnt know her name.


    Yan Su didnt respond. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.


    Mo Jin kicked Mo Liuxi under the table then apologized to Yan Su. Please dont mind him. He hardly ever listens to music. Besides, he grew up abroad, so he had only heard some foreign singers songs.


    Its alright, Yan Su smiled faintly.


    After dinner, Mo Liuxi and Mo Jin returned next-door.

 Chapter 845. Sorry, Im Gay

    Chapter 845. Sorry, I''m Gay


    Yan Su emerged from the kitchen with a trash bag. When she was at the door, she caught sight of a trash bag at her neighbors door. Just as she was about to pick it up, she heard a voiceing from the apartment.


    Little brat, can you be more mindful about what you say? Dont make Yan Su feel ufortable.


    Did I say anything wrong? I really had no idea, Mo Liuxi sounded cold. Anyone can be a singer now, especially females. As long as they look decent, all they need is some PR packaging and a makeover


    Yan Su frowned, she looked into the house and Mo Liuxi made eye contact with her.


    She quickly picked up the bag of trash and left.


    Mo Liuxi was frozen in the spot for a moment before he walked to his door just as Yan Su boarded the lift. He noticed that his trash at the door was cleared.


    What are you doing? Is Xu Zhengxuan here? Mo Jin asked.


    Nope.


    Eight oclock at night.


    Nian Junting was watching television with a te of honeydew when Xu Zhengxuan nced over at Yan Sus room. Lets go, Junting, its already sote.


    Nian Junting frowned. Dad, you can drive home in my car. I want to stay here tonight.


    Luosang stopped eating immediately and put down the toothpick. No you cant, Ive already told you, Yan Su is staying with me. Youre only going to cause us inconvenience if you stay here so go home now. Ill be back home the day after tomorrow when I have no sses.


    Nian Junting pouted unhappily. Im worried that you would miss me at night, youre ustomed to hugging me when you sleep now. What if you get insomnia without me? Forget it, you bettere back to the vi with me. Ill send you back tomorrow morning.


    Luosang couldnt be bothered to talk to him anymore so she stood up and handed his phone to him. Come on, hurry along, Ill video call you if I miss you. But I doubt I will as Ive already been staring at your face for two months now so Im a little tired of it.


    Nian Junting looked at her angrily.


    Xu Zhengxuan said quickly, Dont be ridiculous.


    Luosang stuck out her tongue and pecked Nian Juntings cheeks. Junting, distance makes the heart grow fonder. You know me, Im just trying to y hard to get so things are more exciting when we meet.


    Nian Juntings face lit up immediately. I understand. Well then, Luo, Ill get going. Im going to miss you, good night.


    He left promptly with Xu Zhengxuan after that.


    Yan Su walked out from her room, she was grinning from ear to ear. Mr. Nian has finally taken his leave?


    Yeah. Luosang was thrilled. Im finally free, lets go get supper. Ive been craving the hot and spicy soup from the stall in front of our school. You know Ive been living under close supervision for the past two months, he hasnt allowed me to eat anything outside. He considers all food from outside trash. I havent had a single cup of bubble tea or ducks neck to snack on. I miss the food from school every day. Every time I ask him to buy me food he gives me a lecture about it.


    Luosang was feeling sorry for herself. She was looking forward to school reopening and the day had finallye.


    Yan Su found her predicament amusing. You need to watch your diet when youre pregnant, dont you?


    I dont need to watch it that strictly, I wont have too much. Come on, lets go. Luosang was pulling her along. I didnt eat much for dinner to save some space for the hot and spicy soup.


    When they left the apartment, Yan Su let her hair down and put on a face mask.


    She was a public figure now so she had to be careful about her public image.


    Ill call Liuxi along, introduce him to Ximeis delicacies. Luosang went ahead to knock on his door.


    That wont be necessary, right? Yan Su was unwilling as she didnt like Mo Liuxi now.


    Its ok, we can get to know each other better. You are going to be neighbors with him after all. Itll be good to know him, Luosang whispered to her before Mo Liuxi opened his door.


    Liuxi, I want to bring you to a spicy soup ce near our school, its much better than the stuff we get from delivery, Luosang said.


    Alright, Ille along then.


    On the way there, it was mostly Luosang who was talking. She found her twopanions oddly silent. Mo Liuxi was always quite quiet but even Yan Su was quiet tonight. She didnt know how to ease the atmosphere as well.


    When they arrived at the stall, there were many freshmen there already. The freshmen had entered university a month ago for orientation.


    The three of them walked in and the noisy stall fell silent immediately. The crowd was looking at Mo Liuxi and Luosang. Luosang was pretty and attracted the eyes of all the boys while Mo Liuxi was handsome and dashing, attracting the attention of all the girls there.


    They had stolen all the attention from Yan Su who was wearing a face mask. The three of them found an empty table and sat down. Yan Su sat with her back to the public, so people wouldnt see her face. Mo Liuxi was sittingzily on the old and battered chair. With the orange gas light shining on his face, he looked dreamy like a cloud.


    Luosang noticed that there were many girls secretly snapping photos of him. Although she had already anticipated such a response, she didnt expect him to be so eye-catching even at a soup store. Of course, there were boys taking photos of Luosang as well but someone recognised her quickly.


    Stop taking photos, she is Xu Luosang from the broadcasting faculty, she already has a boyfriend and her boyfriend is the CEO of Shengting Corporation. Hes quite something, he went around telling the students here not to harbor any thoughts for his girlfriend.


    So, she is Xu Luosang, she is so pretty.


    Look at the boy sitting next to her, they look quite alike, he must be her brother.


    When the boys were whispering to one another, a brave girl walked up to Mo Liuxi. ssmate, can I have your WeChat ount? I think you are really rather handsome.


    Mo Liuxi looked up coldly and said, Sorry, Im gay.


    Pfft. Yan Su nearly choked on the spicy tofu she was eating.


    This chap, what ad. The little girls face paled. Why were all the good-looking men gay nowadays.


    He had told her so crudely and straightforwardly.


    Perhaps you could try, women are much more interesting than men, the girl was persistent.


    Ive tried before, no theyre not, Mo Liuxi said with a straight face.

 Chapter 846. Are You Sure Hes Your Brother, not Nian Juntings?

    Chapter 846. Are You Sure He''s Your Brother, not Nian Junting''s?


    The girl returned to her seat. She was nearly in tears. No one else dared toe over again.


    Luosang and Yan Su sighed with relief and returned to enjoying the Mtang. Initially, Mo Liuxi only tasted a little bit of it. Once he found it tasted pretty good, he started eating faster than the two girls.


    While he was enjoying the food, a boy shyly walked over to him and said, Hi, actually, Im gay, too.


    Luosang and Yan Su were both stunned.


    The boy sheepishly continued, I can either be on top or at the bottom. Its up to you.


    Yan Su even choked on the food in her mouth. Luosang wasnt doing much better as she stared at the boy in shock. The two girls had no idea so many weirdos existed among their schoolmates.


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyes. He gave the boy a nd nce and replied, Youre not pretty enough.


    The boy touched his own face and said, I can have stic surgery.


    I like the naturally pretty ones, Mo Liuxi coldly replied.


    The boy walked away disappointed.


    Luosang sighed and patted her brother on the shoulder. She asked, Do such things happen to you often? Youre so calm.


    Yeah, Mo Liuxi said.


    Luosang suddenly got a little worried. May I, your sister, take the liberty to ask you one question? Do you like boys or girls? She hadnt thought about it before. She now realized that her brother had never seemed to be interested in girls.


    Im not sure yet. After answering the question, Mo Liuxi elegantly ate a fish ball.


    Luosang was speechless. She thought, Hes not sure yet? Shouldnt that be very clear? I guess I need to keep a close eye on him from now on.


    Personally, she wasnt really able to ept things like homosexuality.


    Yan Su ate some more Mtang and began to feel full. She nced at Luosang and her brother. Luosang was having her second bowl of sweet potato noodles. Mo Liuxi had finished his sweet potato noodles and ordered some needle mushroom.


    As she quietly waited for them and took a drink she thought, They really are brother and sister.


    After about 10 minutes, Luosang was finally full. With satisfaction, she said, It was really good. If only I could eat like this every day. Compared with this, I was living the life of a prisoner back in the vi.


    Yan Su rolled her eyes and thought, Shes really been spoiled by Nian Junting.


    Luosang led an easy life. Everything was provided for her in the vi. Many people were jealous of her for that, yet she called it a life of a prisoner.


    Mo Liuxi elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth. Coldly and gracefully he said, I never thought that this kind of Mtang could taste so good.


    Once he finished talking, the restaurant owner of the shop took a picture of him with her phone.


    Delete that, Mo Liuxi said with a frown.


    The restaurant owner fawningly said, Young man, I want to use your photo as an advertisement. How about this, you are wee to eat here for free from now on. I wont charge you this time either.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent for a few seconds before finally agreeing. Alright.


    Luosang sighed. Her brother was easily swayed by food.


    All three of them had overeaten, so they moved slowly whening out of the restaurant.


    Walking past the entrance of the school, they saw An Lane out the door. She was arm in arm with a young girl who was in a camouge suit. The girl looked a little like An Lan but not as dashing or sexy. The girl had snow-white skin, an oval face, and arched eyebrows. She looked gentle, young, and innocent.


    Luosang, Liuxi, what a small world. Long time no see, An Lan greeted them with a smile. They hadnt seen each other since they returned from An City.


    Is this your sister? Luosang asked. She remembered An Lan mentioning that her sister woulde to Ximei as a first-year student.


    Yeah, this is my sister, An Lan replied. Her name is An Ning. Tomorrow will be the official opening of the semester. I came here to bring her some clothes. Now, were going to the supermarket over there to shop for some food.


    After responding, she began to introduce her sister to the others. This is Xu Luosang, shes Mr. Nians girlfriend. Mr. Nian is the owner of Shengting. This is her brother, Mo Liuxi, and this is


    Shes my friend. Luosang didnt give more details.


    Good to meet you all. An Ning fixed her eyes on Mo Liuxi. Her cheeks reddened, and her eyes glowed with surprise and shyness. She asked, Which department are you in?


    Mo Liuxi ndly nced at her. For the sake of An Lan, he answered the question. Directing.


    What a coincidence, An Ning said. Im studying acting. Can I ask you to direct my show in the future?


    She seemed infatuated with Mo Liuxi. Luosang could understand the girls feelings. She was once a little girl, too. It was like her falling in love with Yi Jingxi at first sight. However, she wasnt as brave as An Ning.


    Im sorry. You guys cant afford to hire me, Mo Liuxi coldly replied.


    An Ning stayed silent. Her eyes suddenly became lusterless. It was as if a bowl of cold water had quenched her burning hope.


    Mo Liuxi probably felt that he wasnt being mean enough so he added, Besides, entering the Acting Department doesnt mean that you can be an actress. Some people never get a chance to y a part in even one film.


    An Ning nearly cried.


    Yan Su quietly sighed. She suddenly felt that Mo Liuxi had actually been pretty polite to her. Luosang, on the other hand, pinched his hand. He was as sharp-tongued as Mo Jin.


    Im sorry. My brother doesnt know how to be polite yet, she said.


    Its OK. Im already used to his sharp tongue, An Lan said with a wave of her hand. Also, hes right. In show business, thepetition is severe. Im not optimistic about it either. However, An Ning insisted oning to Ximei, and I couldnt change her mind.


    Thankfully, she had learned what kind of person Mo Liuxi was long ago. He had no evil meanings. He was just straightforward like Mr. Nian.


    Dont say that, Luosang said with a smile. An Ning is pretty. We have a lot of pretty girls in our school, but I think she can still impress people. Well, we should get going.


    See you. An Lan waved and left with An Ning, who turned to look at Mo Liuxi from time to time.


    Luosang red at Mo Liuxi. Cant you be nice? Shes just a little girl. Plus, An Lan has helped us.


    Mo Liuxis ck eyes showed a trace of confusion. Was I wrong? So many filmpanies want me to direct their films and TV shows, which are invested with billions and filled with first-line stars. Ive turned them all down. Would I direct a show for a little girl? Thats so naive.


    Why did you never mention it? Luosang awkwardly asked.


    Its nothing to brag about, Mo Liuxi said as hezily walked forward.


    Yan Su whispered in Luosangs ear, Are you sure that hes your brother and not Nian Juntings?


    Luosang was speechless. She shared the same feeling as Yan Su.

    Chapter 847. You Little Vixen. So Cunning Even When You''re Pregnant


    An Ning walked shoulder to shoulder with An Lan but her mind was somewhere else. She was thinking about Mo Liuxi.


    What was love at first sight? Was this it? Her heart was still pounding.


    Look where youre going. Theres a tree ahead. An Lan pulled her aside.


    Sister, you oversaw Miss Xus fathers case, right? An Ning grabbed her sisters sleeve; she looked focused now.


    An Lan looked at her. She knew what her sister was thinking about. Although I took on the case, we moved along quickly because Yi Jingxi turned himself in.


    Thats not how the news reported it. They said you did a splendid job


    At the beginning I did. If Yi Jingxi really hired Cao Guanglun, that unscrupulous fe, I might not have won the case.


    An Ning pouted saying, Sister, do you believe in love at first sight? I didnt before, but I just experienced it for myself. When I bumped into that senior just now, my mind was in a fog. I like him and I want to be with him.


    An Lan burst intoughter. When you fall in love at first sight, youre falling in love with someones appearance. An Ning, you dont know what true love is yet. You only like him because of his looks. You dont even know what hes like as a person.


    I like him anyway. Sister, you know I dont give my heart away easily. An Ning tugged on her sleeves. Can you interact with Miss Xu more, to create more chances for me?


    I think you have more chances to talk to Mo Liuxi than I do. Youre going to be in the same school. An Lan raised her hands. Ive talked to Mo Liuxi before and I dont think you two arepatible. You are too spoiled and Mo Liuxi is too cold. He needs someone with a gentle disposition.


    An Ning scoffed. You can only tell if a pair ispatible after they get together. You werent willing to work towards your love, and thats how he was stolen away by Miss Xu.


    An Lans eyes widened. Youre too young and you dont understand.


    Its ok if you dont want to help me. I will handle it by myself, An Ning said pouting.


    Back in the apartment, Yan Su removed her face mask andughed. Your brother is quite the honey for the flies. School hasnt even started yet. I think that junior has fallen for your brother.


    Luosang sighed. I can tell. You cant force feelings and love after all. What about you? You didnt say a word to Liuxi.


    Your brother has quite a sharp tongue. I can handle it. Yan Suughed lightly.


    Too bad. Wait until you spend a day with Nian Junting. You wontst a day.


    Great. Were not family, so I dont have to spend time with him, ever. Yan Suughed and went back to her room.


    After Luosang came out from her shower, she realized that Nian Junting had video called her several times.


    She called him back quickly, and his handsome face appeared on her screen. The application had a filter on the picture, so he looked even more dashing than usual.


    Luosang couldnt help but admire the image. He was handsome all around, even though his face was magnified on the screen.


    You just showered? Nian Junting asked as he looked at her pink cheeks flushed from the hot water. He was turned on. Luo, I want to see you naked.


    Crazy.


    Come on. I can strip for you too. Nian Junting quickly removed his t-shirt, revealing his strong upper torso.


    Luosang blushed. You look great, but Im going to bed.


    Wait. I miss you. Nian Junting was looking at her seductively. Im not used to sleeping without you. Its be a habit now.


    Luosangs heart was pounding excitedly. She felt bad. He missed her so much while she was wholeheartedly enjoying her freedom. Iming back in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Just stay focused at work. She blew him a kiss then hung up with embarrassment.


    Nian Junting was stunned and ted. His little member was also excited. He hadpletely underestimated this womans attraction.


    Now he had to take another cold shower.


    That night he tossed and turned in bed. He really wasnt used to being alone.


    The next day, Luosang woke up and saw Nian Juntings social media update. He posted at 2 a.m., My wife is in school and Im having trouble sleeping at night. Luo, I miss you, I miss you.


    Luosang blushed.


    After washing her face, there was a knock on the door. Yan Su opened it to see Nian Junting standing outside. He was wearing a sapphire blue suit and looked dashing as he briskly walked into the apartment, carrying breakfast in his hands.


    I thought I told you that we are going to eat in the canteen today? Luosang looked at the time. It was about 7 a.m. He must have woken up at 6 a.m.


    Yan Su was packing her bag as she teased Luosang. Of course he misses you.


    Nian Junting looked at Yan Su coldly. Your fans miss you too. I saw them waiting for you outside on the way up. You should head over quickly. Dont make them wait for too long.


    He was obviously chasing her away.


    Yan Su wasnt nning on leaving with Luosang anyway. She was worried her fans might bump into her and hurt Luosangs baby.


    Su, ignore him and have some breakfast first.


    Mr. Nian is right. I have to go sign their albums. Ill just take some and eat along the way. Yan Su grabbed her bag and some food as she walked out the door.


    Nian Junting quickly pulled Luosang onto hisp. He started kissing her fervently, stuttering between kisses saying, Luo, you are really good at ying games. You have my whole heart, you little vixen. So cunning even when youre pregnant.


    Luosang was getting dizzy from his kisses.


    How was she cunning? She didnt do anything.


    The door opened abruptly, and Luosang quickly pushed his head away. With her cheeks red, she turned to look at Yan Su who was blushing as well.


    Well Im sorry. I left my pen. Yan Su picked up a pen on the coffee table and quickly slipped away again.


    When the door closed, Nian Junting lowered his head and said, Lets continue


    Continue?


    Yan Su was walking to the lift with her heart beating quickly and her face red.


    The lift was taking a while. Mornings were always busy for everyone, especially in a thirty-story building.


    Suddenly, the neighboring door opened, and Mo Liuxi emerged, carrying a ck Nike bag. He was wearing cargo pants and a white button-down shirt. His every move looked graceful. He would make an excellent anime character.


    Yan Su averted her gaze quickly and concentrated on the LED disy above the lift.


    Wheres my sister? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Yan Su ignored him.


    Im talking to you. Mo Liuxis tone was still neutral.


    Yan Su continued to ignore him.

 Chapter 848. Yan Su Was Pushed Into Mo Liuxis Arms Again

    Chapter 848. Yan Su Was Pushed Into Mo Liuxi''s Arms Again


    As she stayed silent, Mo Liuxi turned and headed toward her door.


    Yan Su thought of the two who were making out in the t. She had no idea what they were doing now. With no other choice, she said, Mr. Nian came over this morning. Dont disturb them.


    Mo Liuxi paused slightly, then dropped his eyes and said, Didnt they see each otherst night?


    Do they have to be so inseparable? He thought.


    Thats how people are when they are in love. They want to be together every moment. You dont understand it. Yan Su sighed.


    They both fell into silence.


    Two minutester, the elevator came down. There were a lot of people crammed in.


    Yan Su didnt want to wait any longer, so she forced her way in. Seeing Mo Liuxi standing outside motionless, she couldnt help but say to him, Itll take you ten minutes to wait for the next ride. Its the morning rush.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxi walked into the elevator without any other choice. The elevator then stopped at a lower floor, letting a fat man in. The man moved toward Mo Liuxi, making his body press tightly against Yan Sus.


    Yan Su was shorter than Mo Liuxi, so as he moved over, their bodies were squeezed tightly together. Her face was against his chest. Yan Su didnt smell the scent of a mature man but did smell an aroma ofundry detergent. Through his shirt, she felt the warmth of his skin.


    Mo Liuxi felt a little awkward as well.


    Yan Sus chest was pressing against his body. He was surprised the slim-looking girl actually had full breasts. She leaned against his chest, looking like a little girl.


    Girls are just girls. No matter how many years older than me, shes still a little girl, he thought proudly.


    <i>1</i>Since they lived on a rtively high floor, the elevator moved slowly down, stopping from time to time. The weather was hot and the heat from both their bodies blended together. Soon, Mo Liuxis shirt was moistened by sweat.


    With difficulty, Yan Su turned her back to Mo Liuxi in the elevator.


    Following her movement, Mo Liuxi made a gasp.


    This woman turns her butt to me. Doesnt she know howrge her butt is? Itspletely pressing on my lower belly, he thought.


    Behind him, someone was shoving him, making him sway. He was sweating again. As Yan Su turned around, he felt hot on the outside and inside.


    Soon, Yan Su felt it too. At first, she thought that Mo Liuxi had keys or something in his pocket, but she soon started to feel awkward.


    She had never had sex with anyone, but she still knew about it.


    With surprise, she turned and red at him.


    Shameless guy, she thought, He seems to be too proud to talk to anyone, but it turns out that hes such a dirty man.


    This is outrageous!


    Yan Su violently stomped on his foot.


    Mo Liuxi gasped again.


    At that point, the two only wished the elevator to hit the ground floor. However, the elevator paused again.


    Yan Su couldnt stand it, so she made an effort to move.


    The others in the elevator were annoyed as well. A person pushed her with their elbow, saying, Dont you see how crowded this elevator is? Why are you still moving?


    Once again, Yan Su was pushed into Mo Liuxis arms.


    The others all turned to her. She was wearing a face mask, but Mo Liuxi still noticed that her ears had reddened.


    Shes so shy, he thought.


    Coldly, he turned to the middle-aged woman who just pushed Yan Su, and said, We all live in this building. Do you have to yell? We are all ufortable in this crowded elevator.


    The woman nced at Yan Su who was still in his arms, and said, You are studying in Ximei, right? Nowadays, young people live together before even finishing school. In our days, boyfriends and girlfriends didnt even dare to touch each others hands in their twenties.


    What are you talking about? Yan Sus cheeks burned even hotter. We just live on the same floor.


    Who would believe that? The middle-aged woman snorted andughed.


    Mo Liuxi frowned, saying, In your days, most of the people got married in their twenties. Onlydies that were left over didnt dare to hold hands with men at that age.


    Oi, you The woman moved her chubby body toward Yan Su, saying, So impolite.


    Yan Sus entire body was pressing toward Mo Liuxi. She could do nothing butin silently.


    Do you really have to yell in the elevator? Mo Liuxi repeated. One part of his body was making him feel more and more ufortable. So much that he seemed to even have fire burning in his eyes. The woman was a little frightened.


    <i>1</i>Fortunately, the elevator finally arrived at the ground floor, and the people near the door all walked out.


    Mo Liuxi abruptly put an arm around Yan Sus waist, and walked out as well.


    Yan Su gave a start. She heard the middle-aged woman say to her neighbor, They said that theyre not a couple, yet theyre holding each other so tightly.


    Yan Su felt she wanted a hole to crawl in. She lived in this building, and now, her reputation was ruined for good.


    Mo Liuxi, whats wrong with you? Let go of me! She twisted her body.


    However, Mo Liuxi refused to let her go. He dragged her to the other side of the elevator, then finally stopped near the wall. He then dropped his arm and said to her, You can leave. I just wanted you to cover it for me.


    Yan Su paused briefly, then nced at his crotch area. Next, she was stunned. Realizing what she had just seen, she felt as if her brain was on fire. She didnt dare take another nce, but said to him, You dirty man.


    Mo Liuxi took a deep breath. Something like this never happened to him before. It was so embarrassing.


    I am a healthy man.


    That elevator was crowded. Yan Su red at him with both shame and anger.


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head, pressed one hand on the wall and said, Alright, just leave. I need some time to chill.


    Hearing that, Yan Su couldnt help but nce at his crotch area again, then turned and left.


    She swore that she would stay away from him.


    Hes so young, yet so sick, she thought, Luosang was even worried that he might be gay. She really shouldnt worry. However, even though he doesnt look strong, his


    <i>1</i>Yan Su hurriedly shook her head to get rid of the crazy picture in her mind.


    Mo Liuxi stood there until he felt better. Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.


    What are you doing here?


    Luosang was standing behind him, holding a cup of soymilk; she wasnt wearing any makeup.


    Nian Junting stood beside her, carrying her bag on one shoulder.


    Your face is so red. Are you feeling ufortable? Luosang asked with concern.


    Youre not in heat, are you? Nian Junting said ndly.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent.


    Luosang red at him. Not everybody is like you, she said in her head.


    She might be delighted if her brother could be in heat sometimes.


    Ignore him, said Luosang, lets go to school together.

 Chapter 849. This Is for What Happened in the Lift Earlier. Were Even Now

    Chapter 849. This Is for What Happened in the Lift Earlier. We''re Even Now


    It was nice to go to school with her brother, but Luosang regretted it once they were on their way. The man next to her was too eye-catching. Everyone turned to look at them on the street and many girls looked at her with envy.


    At the school gates, many fans and reporters were waiting. Most of the fans were there for Chi Shengxu, but there were some of Yan Sus fans as well.


    Luosang was used to it. It happened every new semester, but this year was slightly different. The fans were there for her good friend, Yan Su, and she was proud of her.


    From far away, she could already see Yan Su giving out autographs with her assistant Jiao standing beside her, maintaining order.


    There were always reasonable and unreasonable fans.


    Suddenly, a man leaped towards Yan Su with a bouquet. Yan Su, I love your voice. Will you marry me?


    Jiao was shocked and she quickly stepped forward to block the man. The man pushed her away and pulled Yan Su into an embrace.


    The reporters surrounding them werent helping the situation by snapping photos.


    Some of the fans were taken aback, and a few of them started screaming. The scene turned chaotic as everyone jostled each other.


    It was an interesting story: Up anding artist taken advantage of by her fan.


    Thats too much.


    Luosang was about to rush forward but Nian Junting held her back.


    There are so many people there. What happens if you get injured?


    Before Luosang could reply, another figure dashed forward.


    Mo Liuxi sprinted towards the crowd and pushed the fans out of his way. He forcefully separated the male fan from Yan Su and threw a punch at his face. The man fell to the ground.


    <i>1</i>


    Yan Su was stunned when Mo Liuxi handed her his school bag.


    <i>1</i>


    Hold on to my bag, Mo Liuxi told her coldly and threw a couple more punches at the man who was climbing to his feet. He started kicking the man and only stopped when the manid still on the ground.


    The security officers had arrived at the scene and soon took the man away.


    Yan Su, who was hiding behind Jiao, now heaved a sigh of relief, saying to Mo Liuxi, Thank you.


    Mo Liuxi took his bag from her hands and quietly said, This is for what happened in the lift earlier on. Were even now.


    He swung his bag across his body and briskly walked away.


    Yan Su was stunned.


    Before she could react, a group of girls started gasping and saying, Damn, so cool!


    He was so good-looking!


    Theres someone even more good-looking than Chi Shengxu in Ximei!


    The reporters were in a discussion as well. Ximei has again enrolled an extraordinary talent this year.


    Quick! Lets snap more photos. This man is bound to be famous in the future.


    Su, lets go. Jiao held onto Yan Su and started running into the school.


    The fans wouldnt be able to follow them once they were in the school gates.


    Back in school, Luosang quickly reunited with Yan Su. Su, that was too careless of you. How could you not bring a bodyguard with you?


    I dont like being followed, Yan Su said sheepishly, Jiao hadmunicated with the fansst night. She said the fans who wereing today were all part of the fan club. I didnt expect anyone this extreme.


    You should be more careful next time. Thank God Liuxi was around today. See. I told you he is a good guy even though he is a little unfriendly, Luosang said.


    Jiaoughed saying, Right. That tall man. He looks like a Korean idol. Hes so handsome.


    Yan Su was a little ufortable thinking about what happened in the morning.


    She wasnt exactly grateful to him. If he didnt mess up in front of her earlier, he might not have intervened at the school gates.


    When they were at the entrance of the hill, Luosang was about to enter with Yan Su when Nian Junting suddenly grabbed her wrist.


    Youre leaving so soon? Arent you going to kiss me? Nian Junting looked at her cheekily.


    Su, you go ahead first. Luosang waved to her friend.


    Nian Juntingughed. He had been waiting all morning for a kiss. Little did he know that Luosang was about to berate him.


    A morning kiss? Dream on after what happened earlier. If you werent going to help out, dont stop me from helping my friend. Luosang was somewhat angry. Yan Su is a good friend of mine.


    Nian Junting frowned; he felt indignant. Shes not my friend. If I had stepped in earlier on, the reporters would have snapped photos of me and they mightve even concocted a scandal about me.


    What if I didnt go and you didnt either?


    The fans were blindly chasing after stars. None of them were going to help Yan Su while she was in trouble and the reporters were too busy collecting material for their next big scoop, Luosang said heatedly.


    The school will maintainw and order. Nian Junting was annoyed. He couldnt have done anything extreme in public.


    Youre too much. Luosang red at him angrily and turned to walk into the auditorium.


    When the ceremony ended, Yan Su had already be the hot topic online as the star who was taken advantage of by her fan.


    Some of the reporters had recorded videos of what happened and Luosang was angry. People nowadays were so low, turning a blind eye to those in need and even mocking Yan Su for what happened.


    When the two of them went to the canteen for lunch in the afternoon, Yan Su was pretty down.


    Dont read thements online, Luosang saidforting her.


    Yan Su said suddenly, I wonder what Shi Xiang would think about this. I must have looked quite silly. I was so flustered and taken aback. He mightugh at me.


    Luosang was surprised and sighed for her friend.


    She knew that Yan Su was working so hard to show Shi Xiang her spark and make him regret his decision. They were all women after all; strong-headed women.


    Luosang caught sight of Mo Liuxi in the canteen and waved to him.


    Mo Liuxi was carrying his food on a tray and walked over. Luosang smiled and said, Thank you for today, Liuxi. You were really cool. Even your sister is charmed.


    Hmm, Mo Liuxi said casually as he ate his food with his head lowered. She seemed to beplimenting herself more.


    The atmosphere was a little low, so Luosang added again, Those reporters are really too much. How can they post videos online?


    Mo Liuxi swallowed his food and looked at Yan Su who looked tired. If you cant handle this bit of drama, you should just leave the entertainment industry.


    Immediately, Yan Sus small face turned pale.


    Im just telling you the facts, Mo Liuxi added.


    Yan Su tightened her grip around her chopsticks.


    Whats wrong? Are you upset over what happened this morning? Chi Shengxu waked over with his food. He had dyed his hair an ash-grey over the holidays and he still looked rather handsome.


    I didnt expect Chi Shengxu superstar toe to the canteen, Luosang said, quickly changing the topic.


    She was going to break down if she spent any more time with the two of them.


    I knew my old friends would be here somewhere. Chi Shengxu looked a little hurt. Unlike someone who didnt bother to contact me at all.

 Chapter 850. Afterall, He Was So Annoying

    Chapter 850. Afterall, He Was So Annoying


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. Nian Junting sneakily put his number on the cklist.


    All right. I know its because your boyfriend is very strict on you. Chi Shengxus smile didnt look real. However, he sincerely felt happy for her. Earlier, your mom visited my mom; she was happy.


    My mom told me about it. Luosang sighed. Ten years ago, Mo Jin and Feng Ge werent really close. Unexpectedly, they became good friends now. Ah, let me introduce you. This is my brother


    I know. Chi Shengxu smiled. Your brothers photos have spread all over the school forum. Many people saw him fighting this morning. Now, hes even more popr than me. Actually, he has topped me and has be the most handsome boy in school.


    Re-really? Luosang was surprised. She didnt know that at all. Liuxi, have you heard that?


    Eh. Mo Liuxi focused on the food. The stir-fried beef is good.


    Your brother is really not like you. Chi Shengxu smiled. As Yan Su fell silent again, he brought the original topic back up. Su, what happened this morning is only a small thing. To be honest, you are famous now, and you have great resources. Many people will be jealous of you. At this point, if there is a little bit of scandal about you, those people would hire a water army to attack you, but your real fans will never go against you. Theyll only listen to your songs. Just forget about this morning.


    Hearing that, Yan Su finally gave a smile. Thank you, she said.


    Its all right. You might be the top singer in the country, so I really need to build a good rtionship with you. In the future, I might ask you to sing the theme song of my film. Please dont turn me down. Chi Shengxu said jokingly. The tense atmosphere was immediately eased.


    Finally, Mo Liuxi raised his head and gave Chi Shengxus a nce. Then, he made a frown.


    He didnt like Chi Shengxu.


    <i>3</i>Xu, Yan, Chi At that point, someone ran over to them.


    Luosang and the others raised their heads and saw An Ning whom they had metst night. The young girl was smiling sweetly.


    And Mo An Ning shyly fixed her eyes on Mo Liuxi.


    Mo, youre impressive. Ive watched the video of you fighting that guy and you were super handsome. How have you learned to fight? I guess you can do martial arts? Im surprised that youre an exchange student from France. Youre really good


    Im full. Mo Liuxi quickly finished his food and left.


    An Ning showed a disappointed look. But soonter, she turned to Luosang with a sweet grin and asked, What kind of girl does Mo like? The gentle ones? The hot ones? The sexy ones? Or the ones with a lot of skills?


    Eh I dont know for sure, Luosang responded awkwardly.


    An Lans sister was really straightforward.


    What does he like to eat or drink then? I can cook for him. I can make him lunch every day.


    Well he likes meat. I think he eats all kinds of meat, as long as theyre cooked well. Also, he seems to like the mtang near our school too.


    Thank you, Xu. An Ning then started asking many questions about Mo Liuxi.


    About ten minutester, Luosang, Yan Su and Chi Shengxu left the canteen together.


    That little girl really has a lot to talk about, said Chi Shengxu. Is it okay for you to tell her so much about your brother?


    Those arent secrets. I think itll be fine. Also, she is adorable. Luosang sighed. My brother is never interested in women. Im worried that he might like men. If someone made sure that hes straight, Id be relieved.


    Dont worry, Im sure that your brother likes women. Yan Su suddenly joined the conversation.


    How did you know? Luosang was surprised.


    Eh-hem. Yan Su coughed with embarrassment, then made up a story. Once, I saw him looking at a naked woman on his phone.


    Luosang was shocked.


    Somehow, she felt her brother was sick.


    Chi Shengxu patted her on the shoulder and said, I think you should help that little girl. Hes a man, and he might have needs. It wouldnt be good if he attempted to fulfill those needs through the wrong means.


    <i>1</i>Yan Su looked at the sky, pretending not to hear.


    She didnt mean to defame Mo Liuxi. She just said it without thinking. Afterall, he was so annoying. Besides, she wasnt wrong. He was straight indeed, very straight.


    That night, Luosangzilyy on the couch, watching TV while enjoying barbecue. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.


    Yan Su walked to the door, looked into the peephole, then said to Luosang, Mr. Nian is here.


    Dont open it. Luosang immediately frowned.


    Are you having a fight again?


    He didnt help you this morning, said Luosang unhappily.


    I thought it was something serious. Yan Su smiled. Mr. Nian only cares about you. Other women mean nothing in his eyes. Itspletely normal he didnt help me.


    But


    Women tend to fall in love with men who help them under critical situations. What if I fell for Mr. Nian?


    You wont. Youre my good friend, and you like Shi Xiang.


    <i>1</i>Sangsang, never ask your boyfriend to be too nice to your female friends. We cant control our feelings, Yan Su said seriously.


    Yan Su then prepared to open the door.


    Wait. Luosang gave a start, then hurriedly got up from the couch, put the barbecue into the cab, then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.


    She moved so quickly that she didnt look like a pregnant woman at all.


    As the door opened, Nian Junting walked in, holding some desserts. Lu Kang followed behind him. What took you so long to open the door?


    Sangsang is brushing her teeth, said Yan Su.


    Nian Junting abruptly stopped walking, turned to Yan Su and said in a serious tone, Im sorry about this morning.


    <i>1</i>Its okay. Actually, that man only hugged me. The security guys came quickly. Yan Su shook her head.


    At that time, did you feel that as a woman, you needed a man? Nian Junting suddenly raised his brows and continued, Lu Kang is good.


    Yan Su was a little confused.


    Lu Kang smiled so awkwardly, that his smiling face looked worse than his crying face. Boss, you cant do a hard sell like that, he thought.


    Um I watched the video. I figured that you might be frightened this morning, so I came here to see how you are doing, Lu Kang said coyly. I brought you fruit and dessert.


    I didnt pay for those, Nian Junting added. Except for my family and girlfriend, I wont spend a penny on anyone else.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    Why do I smell barbecue? Nian Junting said. There is an obvious scent of cumin.


    Really? I dont smell it, Yan Su responded without confidence.


    Nian Junting sneered, then walked toward the bathroom.


    Luosang had just brushed her teeth. Seeing hime over, she gave him a re.


    Why did you brush your teeth? Did you just have barbecue? Were you trying to brush off the evidence? Nian Junting expressionlessly took away her toothbrush.

 Chapter 851. What Did Yan Su Tell You Today?

    Chapter 851. What Did Yan Su Tell You Today?


    Luosangs eyes widened as she gargled. Dont be ridiculous.


    Without talking, Nian Junting walked around the living room and opened the TV cab. A bunch of barbecued snacks fell out. There were roasted eggnt, barbecuedmb skewers, and chicken wings


    Are you nning to feed my baby these? Nian Junting questioned her. I dont think pregnant mothers can eat these. Barbecued foods from the outside are extremely dirty. Havent I told you before? They use recycled sewage oil. The fish are not fresh and the chickens are injected with steroids. You are harming our little princess.


    <i>1</i>Luosang lowered her head in guilt. I only had a bit of roasted eggnt. The rest are for Su


    Yeah, theyre all mine. Yan Su nodded her head quickly.


    I dont buy it. These are too little for just you. Nian Junting threw all the food into a trash bag. Im seriously thinking you went out for supperst night behind my back.


    No, I didnt.


    Anyway, I cant let you live alone anymore, Nian Junting said coldly. Since you dont think its convenient for me to stay with you two, Ill stay next door with your brother. We can go back to the vi when you dont have sses.


    Dont. Luosang was about to break down. She was looking forward to her freedom. The apartment is too small and theres not enough space for your precious body. My brother wouldnt enjoy staying with you.


    Ill have to live with you then, Nian Junting said insistently.


    Go stay with Liuxi then, Luosang said softy.


    Nian Junting grunted then walked over next door.


    What do you want? Mo Liuxi was obviously unweing towards him.


    Next time your sister goes to ss, Im going to be tagging along. It inconvenient for the girls if I stayed with them so Im nning to stay with you, Nian Junting said casually. Dont you have three rooms?


    Im sorry. I prefer to live on my own and were not that familiar with each other, Mo Liuxi said, rejecting his proposal.


    I guess I have to call mother then. Nian Junting fished out his phone. Do you think I want to live with you? Your sister doesnt listen to me and she keeps feeding herself junk food


    All right, you can stay with me. Mo Liuxi had a headache. Mo Jin would definitely say yes to his request since it was for the benefit of her daughter.


    Dont worry. Your sister doesnt have many modules. Ill only be staying for three days every week, up to November at the most.


    Ok. Mo Liuxi was annoyed.


    Luosang already had some of Nian Juntings clothes at her apartment, so they didnt have to go shopping for more things. He quickly moved over in about ten minutes.


    You should rest early. Im going back, Luosang said. Nian Junting grabbed her wrist before she could leave.


    Sleep here tonight.


    The man was looking at her seductively and sounded bossy.


    Luosang was speechless. It would be as if I moved over too. Liuxi enjoys his peace and quiet. If I move over, we would be imposing on him.


    I guess I should move over to your ce then


    <i>1</i>Why are you so troublesome? Luosang was ring at him. If you dont want to stay here, go back to the vi, but dont bother the three of us, especially when were still in school.


    Nian Junting frowned. Then stay here a little longer. Lu Kang is over there. Give him some time to talk to Yan Su.


    Mo Liuxis hand quivered as he held his coffee mug.


    Ok. Luosang gave it some thought. It would be good to give Lu Kang some time to talk to Yan Su. Liuxi, do you mind me sitting here for a while more?


    Whatever. Im going to the study. Mo Liuxi was carrying his coffee and walking into the study.


    Luosang looked at his back and recalled what Yan Su said to her today; she began to worry.


    If her brothers sexual orientation was normal, it wouldnt be healthy for him to be looking at these photos all the time.


    Something would go wrong if this continued.


    She thought about it, then went back to her apartment to retrieve a few books before she walked into the study.


    Where are you going? Cant you keep mepany for a little while longer? Nian Junting grabbed her grumpily.


    Im going to talk to Liuxi for a bit. Luosang knocked on the study room.


    Come in.


    When Luosang walked in, Mo Liuxi close the lid of hisptop.


    Was he watching those things again?


    Luosang began to worry again. Xiao Si enjoyed those photos too; he was still single until now.


    Whats the matter? Mo Liuxi looked over at her.


    Oh, what are you busy with? Luosang tried her best to ask casually.


    Just reading some ss material.


    Mo Liuxi looked away. He was reading about things rting to men and women. He was taken aback by what happened in the morning, and he wanted to find a way to control himself. If it happened again, he would feel like an animal.


    Luosang was staring at her brother; he looked a tad unnatural. She was even more certain of her assumption.


    Liuxi, I have some books that I find quite good. You can read these if you have time.


    Dont watch those things.


    Ok. Mo Liuxi took the books from her and ced it on the side of the table.


    After a while, he noticed that Luosang hadnt left yet. He frowned and asked, Anything else?


    Um well, since you are in university now, you should enjoy yourself while you have the chance to. You should go around and make some friends


    I think Yan Su is your only friend. Am I right? Mo Liuxi interrupted her.


    That stung.


    She wanted to make friends, but she always invited jealousy and envy from her peers.


    I dont want you to be like me, Luosang said sincerely. It would nice to have some friends at the university. Its still possible to make true friends here, unlike out there in the working world in the future. Rtionships in the future will be a lot moreplicated and the girls will be more realistic. If you could meet someone true to and you have feelings for, you can try getting into a rtionship. Although you are an exchange student, I hope you will stay in the country in the future. Besides you should do more aerobic exercises, its good for your body and mind.


    Ok. Mo Liuxi nodded his head.


    Also Luosang was about to break down but she still forcefully sputtered. If you have those desires you can talk to your brother-inw about it. He was a virgin for over thirty years and he still managed fine. Hes more experienced in that aspect.


    Mo Liuxis expression suddenly froze.


    He stood up abruptly and his gaze was piercing.


    What did Yan Su tell you today?


    Yan Su must have told Luosang about what happened in the lift in the morning. How could she go around telling people about something so private?


    He thought they were even after what happened at the school gate.


    Luosang was shocked that Liuxi reacted so strongly to what she said. She thought whatever Yan Su had told her must have been true.


    She couldnt admit to it. She didnt want to strain Yan Sus rtionship with her brother anymore.

 Chapter 852. You Defamed Me Out There, and Now Youre Saying Good Morning to Me

    Chapter 852. You Defamed Me Out There, and Now You''re Saying Good Morning to Me


    Wait. Luosang hurriedly ran up to stop him.


    Su really didnt say anything, she said.


    Mo Liuxi sneered and said, How did you know then? I dont want to be like this. I cant control myself.


    Luosang gently stroked his back, saying, I know. You cant help it you want to see those kinds of pictures because you are curious about women. But we should do it in the right way. You cant get addicted


    What did you say? Mo Liuxi interrupted her. What pictures?


    Luosang paused briefly, then responded with, She said you like to look at pictures of naked women. Isnt that true?


    Mo Liuxi wanted to strangle Yan Su. She actually defamed him. That was outrageous. She was the most vindictive woman he knew.


    If there wasnt a guest next-door, he would rush over right now to teach her a lesson.


    All right, I get it. Just go. Mo Liuxi pushed Luosang out, then locked the door.


    Luosang was upset.


    Suddenly, a sour voice was heard from behind her. I didnt know that I was an experienced virgin in your eyes.


    Luosang slightly froze, then replied awkwardly, You were eavesdropping on our conversation.


    Im telling you; I was an experienced virgin because I didnt meet you. Nian Junting snorted, then dragged her directly into the bedroom and taught her a lesson.


    At ten oclock at night, Luosang returned to her own apartment. Her lips were red and burning after several long kisses. Lu Kang had already left.


    Su, Im sorry. Luosang walked into Yan Sus bedroom, apologizing. I identally told Liuxi that you told me that he was looking at naked women pictures.


    Yan Su who was on her phone, shivered. Sangsang, I cant believe you did that to me she said.


    She hardly made up stories about other people, and when she did it this time, he found out about it within twenty-four hours.


    I was trying to tell him to quit, but he easily guessed it was you who told me about it. He was angry. I think you should just stay away from him the next few days, said Luosang with embarrassment.


    Yan Su stayed silent. What else could she possibly do?


    The next morning, Yan Su left home half an hour earlier than usual, as she didnt want to be in the crowded elevator with him again.


    However, he saw her once she walked out of the elevator.


    She turned, intending to go back, but Mo Liuxi quickly made two steps forward, grasped her cor and then dragged her under a tree.


    The sunlight poured onto his shoulders through the leaves, failing to cover the anger in his eyes.


    Hi. Good morning Yan Sus lips twitched slightly as she greeted him.


    You defamed me out there, and now youre wishing me a good morning. Mo Liuxi stared at her with daggers in his eyes. As he finished talking, he pressed his thin lips together wrathfully.


    Like I said, I saved you yesterday, and were even.


    Yan Sus cheeks burned. She felt guilty but didnt think it was entirely her fault. About some things, its not that easy to make it even. If I took advantage of you and then helped you without risking my own life, would you count it even?


    Women drop their benefactors as soon as their help isnt required. Thats why I dont like women. Mo Liuxi wore a grim look and said, Do I have to let you take advantage of me to make it even? But you dont have what men have, do you?


    You are shameless! Yan Sus face reddened. Im not asking you to like me. Besides, even though what I told your sister was a lie, its still better than telling her that her brother is an indecent man. Right? Havent you heard about all those perverts who harass women on the subway? I could have called the police! You elevator pervert!


    Mo Liuxi red at her. He felt deeply humiliated.


    She actuallypared him to those disgusting people.


    Would a pervert save you? The guy who attacked you yesterday was a pervert.


    Mo Liuxi felt annoyed as well. About what happened yesterday in the elevator; he had done deep research online but didnt find a detailed exnation. I didnt have that kind of intention toward you. Yesterday was an ident. I am a healthy man. I believe that any healthy man wouldnt be able to control himself under that kind of situation. So please, do not defame me in front of my sister. If you insist, Id have no choice but to tell her that you were probably trying to seduce me.


    What did you say? Yan Su couldnt believe it.


    Am I wrong? Yesterday, we were good at first, yet you suddenly turned around and pressed your hip against me, Mo Liuxi said coldly. It was exactly your movement that caused my problem.


    I did that because I didnt want to lean on your chest. You are the most shameless person Ive ever met. Yan Su never felt so annoyed and was never ndered like that. Her eyes turned slightly red as she continued saying, Youre even more disgusting than the man who attacked me yesterday.


    As she turned and left, Mo Liuxi looked at her back and frowned. He rarely said mean words to women. She was the first one.


    He was surprised by how vulnerable she was. Her eyes even turned red.


    Forget it. Ill just stay away from her, he told himself. I cant afford to offend women.


    Eight oclock.


    A small figure blocked Mo Liuxis way once he entered the school.


    Hi. I bought you breakfast from Xus restaurant. An Ning stood before him with a sweet smile. That ce has the best breakfast in Xia City. Try it.


    Im not interested. Mo Liuxi turned to avoid her and kept walking forward.


    Just try it. An Ning hurriedly followed behind him. Im sure youll want more once you try it. I got up at six in the morning, then traveled across half the city and waited in line to get this for you.


    Are you trying to tell me how much youve done for me to make me feel touched, so that Ill be with you? Mo Liuxi abruptly stopped walking and looked at her straight in the eyes. The look in his eyes was ice cold.


    An Nings smile froze on her face. Im not. I just bought some delicious food for you. I want you to try it. Ill be happy if you ate it.


    Im not happy. In this world, no food is for free. If I ate your food today, youd want me to give you something in return tomorrow


    Its not like that


    Hypocritical. Mo Liuxi continued ndly saying, If you want to be with me, you need to know if youre good enough for me. In terms of appearance and personal achievement, I am way better than you. Learn from your sister. Shes a famouswyer at least. What are you? You are nothing.


    As he finished talking, he turned and left,pletely ignoring An Ning who was about to burst in tears.


    Even if Im not good enough for you, I like you with my whole heart, An Ning yelled behind him.


    Mo Liuxi was toozy to respond.


    His ssmate, Zhang Hongchuan, smilingly walked over to him and said, You are cruel. An Ning is a pretty one among the new students in the Acting Department. Many boys like her.


    Am I so low that I can only match with someone like that? Mo Liuxi looked at him expressionlessly.

 Chapter 853. Its a Baby Boy

    Chapter 853. It''s a Baby Boy


    Fine. Not every woman waspatible with a face like this.


    The two of them walked into the canteen and Mo Liuxi saw Yan Su again. She was sitting by the window having breakfast with two other female ssmates.


    He looked away, collected his breakfast and found a seat by the window with Zhang Hongchuan.


    Do you see that girl? Its Yan Su from the music faculty, Zhang Hongchuan said softly. Shes famous now. Shes all-natural, no stic surgery at all. She is the prettiest girl of the faculty.


    Mo Liuxi thought to himself while he was eating. She looked natural but she was just too much of a gossip monger, a petty woman, and not to mention someone who liked to rat on others.


    I tried to court herst year. Zhang Hongchuanughed with embarrassment. She rejected me though. She said that she had a boyfriend. I heard shes single now, but I dont think Ill try again. With her talent, she could easily be the next pop queen.


    Mo Liuxi looked at him incredulously. Dont lower the standards of a pop queen. Okay?


    Really! Zhang Hongchuan was serious. You havent heard her sing before, have you? She has a broad range. She handles her high notes really well and she switches between octaves seamlessly. Oh, and she writes her own songs. You know that super popr song, When the Smoke Clears? She wrote that herself. I heard it was an ode to her first love.


    Mo Liuxi asked, Was she together with her first love for a long time?


    I heard she had a boyfriend even before she came to Ximei. No one knows who he was though. We all thought she made it up to dissuade her pursuers. Zhang Hongchuan sighed. I can tell from her sorrowful lyrics that she once loved someone very deeply though.


    Im full now. Mo Liuxi stood up.


    Hey, wait for me


    Over the next few days, Mo Liuxi and Yan Su avoided one another. They didnt even greet each other when they bumped into one another.


    Luosang felt bad things turned out this way because of her. Luckily, Yan Su was out of the house a lot because of her busy schedule.


    Luosang didnt have any sses that day, so Nian Junting apanied her to the maternity check-up.


    You stay with Liuxi now, so do you think you can patch things up between him and Yan Su?


    Why do I feel like youre acting like a matchmaker now? Nian Junting was unhappy that Luosang was talking about Mo Liuxi all the time.


    Who are you calling a matchmaker? Luosang red at him. Yan Su and Liuxi would never have that kind of rtionship.


    Since they wont develop any romantic feelings for each other, what are you so worried about? Nian Junting asked in annoyance. They werent friends or family to begin with; they are just neighbors. Yan Sus career is really taking off now, so Im guessing that she will be moving away after graduating this semester. She will be flying all over, so she might not even have time to meet you, not to mention your little brother.


    Luosang was shocked. He made sense.


    All right. If you have so much spare energy, why dont you spend some time thinking about our wedding? Were getting married in half a month, Nian Junting said. Do you still remember that?


    Oh how time flies by. Luosang was nervous just thinking about it. She felt like she was getting cold feet before the wedding.


    You havent been thinking about it, Im guessing, Nian Junting said unhappily.


    At the hospital, Luosang was lying on the examination bed ready for her ultrasound. She was already five months pregnant but it was hard to make out her baby bump with her clothes covering it.


    Nian Junting had made special arrangements for the hospital director to be present.


    They were doing a 4D scan today, as he wanted to see the babys face.


    However, the baby wasnt cooperating. Its arms and feet were obscuring the image of its face.


    The doctor told Luosang to eat more chocte and climb some stairs. After about an hour, the babys face was still covered. Luosang went on to climb more stairs until the afternoon, when they finally saw half of the babys face. By then, Luosang was panting with exhaustion.


    Nian Junting was frustrated. Our little princess isnt cooperating at all.


    Princess? The doctor was surprised at what Nian Junting said.


    Nian Junting saw the doctor frown and Luosang said timidly, Dont tell me its a baby boy.


    The ultrasound doctorughed. The hospital director had told her they were important patients. She thought they were the hospital directors rtives and most people wanted a baby boy, so she nodded her head happily.


    Nian Junting stood up abruptly and pulled her to stand as well. Impossible! Are you seeing it wrong? Did you mistake the umbilical cord as a little penis?


    The doctors face was dark. I wouldnt be qualified as a doctor if I cant even differentiate that. Its a baby boy.


    Nonsense. Blood was rushing to Nian Juntings head. Wheres the penis? I cant see anything.


    Youre not a professional. The doctor frowned. Anyway, let me get a colored scan report for you, although the picture might not be so clear.


    Nian Junting couldnt believe his ears. He was still standing, frozen in his spot.


    I dont understand. It was supposed to be a baby girl. How did it turn into a baby boy?


    He was deeply affected. The pink and healthy baby girl was no longer. He had a naughty little boy now instead.


    Someone had rained on his parade.


    Who said it was a girl? The doctor was confused.


    Nian Junting said, I thought it was a girl.


    Luosang took the news much better than Nian Junting. It was still her child after all. Although a girl would be nice, boys were cute in their own ways too. It would only be problematic if her boy turned out like Nian Junting.


    This is your babys photo. The doctor handed them the photo.


    Nian Junting snatched it and took a closer look. He didnt know how to interpret the photograph.


    You need to orientate yourself; these are the eyes and this is the nose, the doctor said. One side is covered by his hand.


    So ugly, Nian Juntingmented and handed the photo over to Luosang.


    Luosang rolled her eyes at him and looked at the photograph. She felt warm and content. I think our baby is rather cute. Thank you, doctor.


    After the doctor continued to run a series of checks, Nian Juntings mood turned rotten.


    He was in a foul mood on the way home as well.


    Back at the vi, Nian Xi was present. When she saw her brothers face, she asked worriedly, Whats wrong? You went to the doctor, right? Is anything wrong with the baby?


    Nope. Luosang shook her head helplessly. The doctor just told us that it was a baby boy.


    Oh, God. Nian Xi inhaled sharply. I dont want a nephew that is as annoying as my brother.

 Chapter 854. Jiang Yuning, 29 Years Old

    Chapter 854. Jiang Yuning, 29 Years Old


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She suddenly started feeling sorry for her baby. She rubbed her belly, sat on the couch, and said, That wont happen. Our baby will surely be as smart and adorable as me.


    He can be as adorable as you, as for smart Nian Junting gave her a look that implied he didnt agree.


    Xu Zhengxuan nodded to agree with him. In terms of intelligence, I hope the baby wont be like Sangsang.


    Luosang found their words hurtful. Am I not smart? I can memorize pretty much anything I read, and Im good at acting


    Youre easily fooled by men, Nian Junting said before she could finish speaking.


    Luosang didnt respond. That was the dark history from which she could never escape.


    Sangsang, ignore them. Nian Xi patted her shoulder with pity and said, I have only one wish. I wish the baby wont be like my brother.


    No, he wont, Luosang said, trying tofort herself. Nian Xi, howe you have time toe here today?


    I have a lot of time. I just sit in the office every single day. Nian Xi unhappily red at Nian Junting. Did you talk to my superiors? Ive worked there for over a month. They sometimes give me cases that are over 10 years old, and sometimes make me search for documents. Those documents almost blinded me. Any case that requires field world has nothing to do with me.


    Isnt that good? Nian Junting aske with indifference. Do you have to go undercover to work with thoserge cases or catch drug dealers? How many people can you really catch? Im afraid that youd be hindering the rest of the team in the field.


    <i>1</i>Nian Xi stood up in anger. Do not underestimate me. I solved cases back at my old police station.


    Those were only small cases, Nian Junting replied. Your superior arranged them for you for a reason. Alright, lets stop here. Dont argue with me. Im in a bad mood now.


    Nian Junting went upstairs with a cold face.


    Nian Xi was irritated. She picked up her bag and headed out.


    Xi, stay for dinner, Luosang hurriedly said.


    Im not in the mood to eat, Nian Xi said as she angrily left.


    Luosang sighed. It was inappropriate for her to talk to Nian Junting about Nian Xis work. Besides, she didnt want Nian Xi to work with those dangerous cases.


    Nian Xi unhappily returned to the police station. She didnt even have the mood to eat anything.


    While she was browsing some files about an old case, her colleague, Cheng Jing, came over and said, Stop reading that. Director has important work for us.


    Itll have nothing to do with me anyway, Nian Xi replied. She was clearly agitated. I never get to go out to carry a mission.


    Dont say that, Cheng Ying said. Do you think thats a good thing? We are doing a dangerous job. Every year, some of our colleagues are sacrificed. Youngdy, you just dont understand. He poked her head and said, Lets go.


    The two of them walked to the door of the conference room. Feng Ji Chuan came over with a few of his colleagues. He was wearing a ck suit, which couldnt hide his perfect body shape.


    Nian Xi nced at him. She turned and walked into the conference room. After looking around, she found herself a seat in the corner.


    Cheng Jing sat beside her and whispered, Oi, I heard that Feng Ji Chuan is your ex-fiance. Why did you break up with such a manly and handsome man? Ever since he came to our station, all the unmarried women here got so excited. Ive heard that quite a few girls are interested in him. Thats reasonable though. Hes tall and handsome and has a good family background. Besides, he was a special-forces soldier. Now, hes under Captain Luosmand. I heard that he yed an important role in that cross-border fraud they solved.


    Nian Xi was not happy to hear that news but remained calm. In a nd tone, she said, No matter how capable he is, we were not a good match. After all, marriage is not like a job.


    Youre right, though


    While they were talking, Feng Ji Chuan walked over and sat in the empty seat next to Nian Xi. She lowered her head, pretending to look at her phone.


    Feng Ji Chuan nced at her phone and said, I saw Juntings WeChat post. Xu Luosangs baby is a boy.


    Dont mention Nian Juntings name to me, Nian Xi replied while opening her WeChat moments. He had made a post 30 minutes prior.


    [Nian Junting]: I thought Id have an adorable little princess, but it turns out to be a little devil.


    There were already severalments.


    [Murong Cheng]: He wont be a little devil as long as hes not like you.


    [Nian Qingyun]: I need to calm myself.


    [Xiao Si]: Whoa! Haha! Congrattions!


    [Luosang]: I am warning you, do not say bad things about my cute little baby.


    A faint smile unwittingly appeared on Nian Xis face.


    Do you like boys or girls? Feng Ji Chuan asked.


    Why would I talk to you about that? Nian Xi retorted.


    Xi, even if we cant be lovers, we can still be friends, Feng Ji Chuan seriously said. We grew up together after all. Do we have to be enemies? There is no deep hatred between us.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. There was no deep hatred, however, she couldnt pretend that nothing had happened and be friends with him. Perhaps it was because she used to care so much about him.


    Besides, we are colleagues now, he said. Although we are on different teams, we might still need to work together. It might be bad for work if we treat each other like enemies.


    Nian Xi sourly said, Im sorry. I dont think Ill ever have a chance to work with you since Im someone who often sits in the office reading old cases.


    Feng Ji Chuan didnt know how to respond.


    While they were chatting, more people arrived. Soon, almost all the seats in the conference room were taken.


    Director Wang went to the front of the room. Is everybody here? I summoned you all to announce something important. Next week, an International Conference on quantum physics will take ce in Paris. All the best physicists in will be there. Last year, a scientist came to Xia City to work on a project. He will attend the conference. The authorities want us to send a few people to go to Paris with him to protect him.


    Once the director had finished talking, the people in the conference room started talking. Special cases like this rarely happened in Xia City. People didnt even know when that important scientist came to the city.


    Director Wang continued, I know that you all want to go. After all, Paris is a famous romantic spot. However, I need to make it clear to you all. This is a very important mission. Its even rted to the process of the sciatic development in certain spheres. Simply speaking, no idents are allowed to happen to that man.


    Director, can I ask who the person is? a police officer asked.


    Director Wang nodded. He ordered a police officer to open the files about the scientist. Soon, the file were disyed on therge screen.


    Jiang Yuning, 29 years old, Director Wang said. This man has shown great talents in physics since he was a child. You may not know about him, since he has been working on some secret projects. Hes been very low-key. You might have heard about his parents though. They are Shi Qingtong, the famous astronomer, and Jiang Fei, the biologist.

 Chapter 855. Nian Xi, Do You Know Jiang Yuning?

    Chapter 855. Nian Xi, Do You Know Jiang Yuning?


    Oh, Ive heard of them.


    Someone added, Arent they a family of scientists? Damn. Gics do matter after all. The whole family is in the field of science. Hes so amazing, and hes so young.


    Director Wang smiled. Yes, they are a family of scientists. Their grandfather studied overseas back then as well. He did research with the Americans and he came back home when our country was liberated to join in the revolutionary movement. He was the first batch of scientists to build our country. Jiang Yuning is not only just a physicist; he is an astrophysicist. I cant divulge too many secrets, but I can tell you he had some breakthroughs with his research and nothing must happen to him.


    I understand, Director. Im willing to step forward to protect him. Hong Li from Team One stood up immediately.


    Yup. Hong Li is the most agile and capable officer in the police force. Director Wang nodded with satisfaction.


    I want to go too. Nian Xi raised her hand quickly. I can do this.


    Director Wang looked at her and said, Nian Xi, you are too young, and your body physique is a little


    Nian Xi said stubbornly, Jiang Yuning is a man. I think there should be a female officer there who is more attentive to the details. Communication would be easier as well. After all, a man and woman are a heavenly match.


    The crowd burst intoughter.


    Director Wangughed as well. Dont treat me like a fool. Men and women as partners, spells trouble.


    Nian Xi scratched her head. Anyway, a woman is better at coordinating.


    Director Wang nodded his head. Thats true


    Director, I want to go too. Feng Jichuan suddenly stood up. I think I am the most agile here.


    Although you are the best, we are teaming up with the police force from another state to crack down on a case of drug trafficking. You are in charge of the case, so I dont think you should leave your position now. This is a crucial moment. The Director then picked four people other than Feng Jichuan.


    Director Wang. Why didnt you mention my name? Nian Xi protested again saying, You seemed to approve of me earlier


    Yup. So Im sending Fan Yi. Shes much more experienced than you. All right. Well end this meeting here. The Director pped his hands.


    Nian Xi was going to faint from frustration.


    Feng Jichuan said to her, Its good that youre not going. Its too dangerous.


    Dangerous? If Im going to stay away from danger, why am I a policewoman? Nian Xi was annoyed.


    Feng Jichuan frowned and said strictly, Nian Xi, I think you need to correct your mindset at the moment. Although your job seems dry and mundane, you should do it with a hundred percent of your effort. Every job has its own meaning and purpose. If youre constantly thinking about putting yourself in the forefront, I have to be honest with you. Your mindset is not suited for fieldwork.


    Nian Xis chest was heaving with anger.


    She knew these things but she couldnt stand taking a lecture from Feng Jichuan.


    Think about it yourself. Feng Jichuan looked at her helplessly and walked away.


    Nian Xi, dont think too much about it. Feng Jichuan has a point. This is no ordinary person were protecting, Chen Jing said.


    Ok. Nian Xi nodded her head. She wasnt an unreasonable person. She was just passionate when she volunteered herself and she admired the scientists.


    Back in the office, Nian Xi couldnt resist satisfying her curiosity; she looked up Jiang Yuning on the inte, but there was barely any information about him.


    In the afternoon, she found out that Captain Luo, Zhan Hong and the rest of the officers had already gone over to Jiang Yunings.


    She didnt hear about anything else, and went home at around six oclock.


    The next morning, her colleagues were huddled up in a discussion. Fan Yi who was about to leave for Paris was there as well; she looked dejected.


    When Nian Xi walked over, her teammate Zhao Fan said, Fan Yi didnt pass the test yesterday. Jiang Yuning insisted on swapping for someone else.


    Why? Nian Xi was surprised.


    Fan Yi sighed. He said that my name was too tacky.


    Was he choosing his bodyguards or choosing names?


    I met him yesterday, from a distance away. He was really so handsome, Fan Yi said. He even made me, a thirty-year-old womans heart, flutter. Its a good thing Im not going. Im worried that I might fall in love with him if I go to Paris. It would jeopardize my marriage.


    Everyone was silent.


    I wonder who can fill in though.


    Nian Xi muttered. It wasnt going to be her anyway.


    She sat down on her desk but not for long; the Director had asked for her at his office.


    Director Wang, do you need me to do anything? Nian Xi walked in to see Zhan Hong, Huo Lizhi and Fang Qi seated in the office.


    Director Wang looked at her strangely. Nian Xi, do you know Jiang Yuning?


    Nope. Nian Xi was puzzled. I would have went around showing off if I knew someone so amazing. Why do you ask?


    Director Wang replied, Jiang Yuning said that he wanted to swap you for Fan Yi. Since he requested it himself, I said yes.


    Nian Xi was stunned. For what reason?


    He said your name sounds a lot nicer.


    Did she have to thank Nian Qingyun, who named her, for this?


    Aiya, he had finally done something right for her in his lifetime.


    Forget it. You can go since he wants you to be there. There might not be any danger there anyway. Director Wang stood up. Go fetch your passport and send it as soon as possible to the administration department for processing.


    Oh, okay. Nian Xi quickly saluted the Director.


    Within an hour, news that Nian Xi reced Fan Yi had spread around the station.


    Feng Jichuan had heard about it as well and he appeared in Nian Xis office in the afternoon. His expression was grim.


    If you are here to persuade me not to go, or if you think Im not qualified enough to go, I can tell you that he had picked me himself, Nian Xi said.


    Feng Jichuan was quiet. He only said, Im just here to remind you to be careful.


    Nian Xi was surprised and she didnt say anything in return.


    The silence between the two of them was broken by Nian Juntings phone call.


    Who said you could go?


    Brother, dont worry about me. Im an adult now, and I will be careful over there. Nian Xi hung up the phone promptly. Nian Junting was frustrated and called Nian Qingyun. Did you hear about Jiang Yuning? Howe I never heard about this man before?


    Nian Qingyun replied, Forget it. Let her go. It shouldnt be too much danger. His research is not well-known to the public. We cant take care of her for the rest of her life. If she really wants to fly there, we will have to let her go, just as long as were around to protect her.

 Chapter 856. Hes a Scientist?

    Chapter 856. He''s a Scientist?


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead and stopped talking.


    The next day, Nian Xi, Zhan Hong, and two other police officers headed to Jiang Yunings research institute.


    Before leaving, they needed to learn about the detailed schedule and the security arrangement from Jiang Yunings people.


    The research institution was an hour away. Nian Xi found the institution belonged to the area which was under the administration of her old police station. It was a very old physics research institution in Xia City.


    Nian Xi had never been there before. After entering the ce, she found the institution was fully equipped even though it looked very old and worn-out on the outside. However, she felt a little chilly while walking in.


    Over there is the research area. Officers, please wait here, said the person who guided them in.


    The four of them waited there, feeling a little bored. Nian Xi couldnt help but look around. She walked to the wall and noticed a group photo on it. While closely looking at the photo, she found a young man in the photo, looking very outstanding among the middle-aged and elderly researchers.


    Seeing the clean and pretty face, Nian Xi was stunned.


    The young man looked so much like the one that she once brought back to her ce, but she didnt remember his name.


    Hes a scientist? Nian Xi thought. I wouldnt know. Hes so young and gawky. He really doesnt look like a scientist. Also, he looks younger than twenty-nine.


    <i>1</i>However, ording to Fan Yi, he was handsome. Among all in the photo, he was the only handsome one.


    We are sorry for making you wait. Abruptly, two men walked out. One of them looked polite and elegant, and the other one looked super strong.


    Seeing them, Nian Xis eyes widened in shock.


    Werent they the people who showed up every time to pick up the young man?


    Good to meet you. My family name is Han. I have been taking care of Mr. Jiang since he was a child. This time, we will go to Paris with you. This is Xu Gang, from the special force. He started to work for Mr. Jiang since the project achieved major progress. Uncle Han introduced himself and his partner.


    Nian Xi walked to him with surprise and said, Mr. Jiang is not


    Yes, he is. Uncle Han smiled and nodded.


    Nian Xi was so shocked that she didnt know what to say.


    Do you know each other? Zhan Hong asked.


    Uncle Han smiled and answered the question. Miss Nian used to work in the police station in this area. She found Mr. Jiang a couple of times when he was lost. Mr. Jiang is terrible with directions.


    So this time Mr. Jiang asked for


    No, I did, said Uncle Han. Mr. Jiang is a lonely person. He doesnt like to talk either. This time you need to guard him closely for a week. I think itll be better for him to stay with someone that hes familiar with. I cant make it clear with you now, but I believe Miss Nian understands it deeply.


    The other three police officers all turned to Nian Xi. Nian Xi nodded with a bitter smile.


    Fang Qi nodded and said, I understand. Scientists stay indoors and work on science every day. They can have a strange character sometimes.


    Mr. Jiang is working. Now, lets talk about the schedule, said Uncle Han.


    The others nodded.


    After hearing about the schedule, the four police officers were relieved. Except for some necessary events, Jiang Yuning would mostly stay in the hotel.


    The schedule made people less worried. The most terrible thing would be that the people who were clearly aware they were in danger would still like to run about.

 Chapter 857. His Innocent Eyes Light Up With Joy

    Chapter 857. His Innocent Eyes Light Up With Joy


    Among the four of you, I want Miss Nian to be by Mr. Jiangs side at all times, Uncle Han said.


    Everyone was stunned. They were all peculiarly looking at Nian Xi.


    Zhan Hong, being the most experienced among them, grimaced. Mr. Han, I know that Nian Xi is pretty, but this is concerning his safety


    You wont understand even if I exin it to you. I think you will understand this arrangement once you meet Mr. Jiang. Except for Miss Xu, Mr. Jiang will be apanied by Xu Gang. I dont believe there is a cause for concern, Uncle Han said.


    Zhan Hong frowned but he didnt protest any further.


    You can all head back. Come along with me, Miss Xu. I will bring you to Mr. Jiang now, and Ill arrange for a car to send you backter, Uncle Han said as he walked further in.


    Go along. Zhan Hong nodded his head.


    After Nian Xi left them, Huo Lizhi whispered, Who said Mr. Jiang was an anti-social man? Hes trying to get close to Nian Xi because of how pretty she is. Hes probably a pervert.


    <i>1</i>


    Enough, thats enough.


    Huo Lizhi didnt expect the reverberation in the room to be so strong. Nian Xi could hear every word he said.


    She frowned. She said to Uncle Han when her colleagues were out of sight, Cant you swap me out? Its more convenient for a policeman to stay by his side, and I was added to the teamst minute as well. This might create some misunderstanding.


    I can swap Huo Lizhi if you like. It might be better for the team dynamic. Uncle Han heard their conversation as well.


    There were dark lines on Nian Xis forehead. I would be his enemy for the rest of my life. He is in the top five at our station in terms of his capabilities. If you swap him out, there isnt anyone who could rece him. Besides, Mr. Jiangs safety is the priority here.


    Seems like we made the right choice picking you, Miss Nian. Uncle Hanughed as he opened a door.


    Nian Xi walked into the room and saw variousplex machines; she had no idea what she was looking at. The ceiling of the room was a painted mural of the gxy.


    Standing before an intimidating machine, a man was dressed in a whiteboratory coat. He was wearing a thick pair of sses and he was bending over, looking into the lens of the machine. You could only see his thick ck hair and his sculptured physique from the side. There was a ray of light shining on him and it seemed he was emitting an aura. He looked clean, pure and wonderful.


    Nian Xi was stunned.


    As if it was the first time meeting him, she was unfamiliar. He was different from the man who sat in a daze at her police station.


    She had originally thought that he was younger than her, but he was twenty-nine. Nheless, he looked youthful.


    Mister, look whos here! Uncle Han reminded him gently.


    The man was standing still; he looked like someone had froze him in his spot. He waspletely submerged in his own universe.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    A scientist was a scientist. Even the way he was in a trance was attractive.


    She waited for ten minutes before he finally made a move. He turned to look at her and was a little stunned when he saw the two of them in theb. Through the thick sses, Nian Xi could see his innocent eyes light up with joy.

 Chapter 858. I Like You

    Chapter 858. I Like You


    Nian Xi felt that he was looking at her in the exact same way Xiaosi had always looked at her.


    He was so adorable, like a puppy. But today, he was a puppy with sses.


    The puppy walked to her, his eyes glowing brightly. He started to take out a sticky note from his pocket, which was always with him. He wrote Im not lost today.


    Nian Xi smiled. How can you be lost today? You didnt even go out.


    Jiang Yuning paused. His eyes showed a very confused look. A short whileter, he finally remembered where he was.


    He lowered his head, and started to write Are you here for me?


    Nian Xi speechlessly turned to Uncle Han.


    On her way here, she was thinking that it was probably Jiang Yuning who asked for her toe and that Uncle Han was covering for him. Now, she realized that she was overthinking.


    After all, she believed she was so pretty and outstanding, people might think of her as special.


    She is one of the police officers who will be protecting you in Paris when you attend the meeting, Uncle Han said. There are three other officers. She will be your bodyguard


    Before he finished, Jiang Yuning nodded deeply. His snow-white, delicate face wore an innocent smile that could melt peoples hearts.


    Nian Xi asked, Are you sure that you dont want to meet the other police officers? They are all better than me.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, writing You are good.


    Nian Xi was delighted. She was hardly ever praised like that.


    Jiang Yuning continued writing I like you.


    <i>1</i>Nian Xi didnt know how to respond. She considered herself a thick-skinned person, yet, her face reddened immediately.


    She understood that Jiang Yuning was expressing a pure fondness, which had nothing to do with a rtionship between a man and a woman.


    Thank you. Ill see you then. Im going to leave now, Nian Xi said to Uncle Han. She felt that it was about time to leave.


    Before Uncle Han responded, a note was put before her eyes Eat lunch.


    Uncle Han saw it too and said, Its about lunchtime, so stay for lunch. You and Mr. Jiang havent seen each other for long.


    Nian Xi looked at the time, then nodded.


    Jiang Yuning took off the white coat, then went to wash his hands. He washed every finger very carefully with hand soap.


    Nian Xi nced at hisrge table; a celestial map was on it.


    Uncle Han exined, Mr. Jiang likes astronomy very much. He always says there are aliens in the universe.


    Nian Xi gave a bitter smile. In her eyes, Jiang Yuning was an alien himself. Why didnt he be an astronomer then? He might have a chance to go to the universe and take a look.


    He didnt meet the physical requirements. Uncle Han shook his head.


    At that moment, Jiang Yuning walked over with his hands washed. He seemed to be in a very good mood. He waved at Nian Xi, then led the way.


    Nian Xi followed behind him. After about two minutes of walking, they arrived at dinner. The ce was all white, looking like aboratory.


    Seeing her frown, Uncle Han said, Mr. Jiang grew up in ces like this. Both his parents are scientists. Except for the New Year, he was inbs all year long. His parents worked on their projects, and I took care of him.


    Nian Xi understood. Somehow, she felt some sympathy for Jiang Yuning.


    <i>1</i>Before, she always felt that he was uneptably weird, and even wondered what kind of environment could foster a person like him. Now, she understood it all.


    What was she doing when she was a child? She was happily monkeying around with Xiao Si and the others.

 Chapter 859. It Tastes Better When You Feed Me

    Chapter 859. It Tastes Better When You Feed Me


    Jiang Yuning looked ted. He pulled aside a chair by the dining table and looked at Nian Xi expectantly.


    Nian Xi was ttered. He knew how to be polite.


    After she took her seat, Jiang Yuning sat down beside her.


    They barely had to wait before the kitchen staff served their food. It was a te of vegetables and green beans. The chef then brought them two bowls of rice.


    Jiang Yuning handed her a pair of chopsticks. Nian Xi was a little surprised as he quickly dug into the food.


    She waited a while for the chef to leave them, wondering if he was going back to the kitchen to get more food.


    Nian Xi was still stunned when she asked Uncle Han, Thats all he eats?


    Our mister doesnt like meat, Uncle Han said helplessly. Madam Jiang is vegetarian as well. Hes been used to this diet since he was young.


    Damn. He didnt even eat meat. Why didnt he feel bad about inviting guests?


    When Jiang Yuning realized that she wasnt eating, he wrote on his notepad, Its good.


    As if! How could she enjoy a meal with just vegetables?


    If you dont like the food, I can ask the kitchen to prepare some meat. Xu Gang and I still enjoy our fair share of meat, Uncle Han said.


    Okay, okay. Nian Xi nodded her head.


    She waited for her food quietly.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her for a while before continuing to eat. He wasnt too pleased though. It was the first time he invited a guest and she wasnt enjoying his food.


    Greens and peas were delicious.


    After he had a bowl of rice, the chef brought over a small te of stir-fried pork; it smelled heavenly.


    Nian Xi finally looked satisfied.


    Jiang Yuning was staring at her silently. He didnt understand why she would like something as unptable as pork.


    Nian Xi thought he wanted to try some, so she picked up a piece of pork and put it in his bowl.


    Jiang Yuning frowned.


    Nian Xi thought he was a clean freak and didnt like anyone putting food on his te, so she quickly went back to eating.


    He moved his lips and she heard his raspy voice saying, Pork is high in fat content as well as cholesterol


    Nian Xi knew that he was going to go on about his lectures on academic matters, so she quickly stuffed his mouth with another piece of pork to silence him.


    Jiang Yunings eyes widened and he appeared to be in shock.


    Nian Xi thought he was about to vomit, so she quickly covered his mouth. Its not good to overeat meat, but our bodies still need meat for a source of protein and calcium. Otherwise, we would be malnourished, and have osteoporosis, anemia


    Jiang Yuning could only see her lips move but he couldnt hear anything she was saying. He felt her hands on his lips. It was soft, warm and it smelt good.


    He couldnt help but chew on the meat and swallow it.


    Uncle Hans jaw dropped.


    It was extremely difficult to try to get Jiang Yuning to eat meat in the past; it was as if it would kill him and he thought he was going to get angry. Who knew?


    The taste is good, isnt it? Nian Xi finally removed her hand after he swallowed the piece of pork.


    Jiang Yuning paused to think for a moment before nodding his head. Nian Xi put another piece of meat in his bowl.


    Jiang Yuning hesitated before picking it up and putting it in his mouth. He frowned again and quickly spat it out.


    Whats the matter? Nian Xi was also eating. The meat tasted delicious, although it was still missing Sister Lans signature vor.


    Jiang Yuning was quiet for a while before he wrote, It tastes better when you feed me.


    COMMENT


    Wasnt it the same dish?

 Chapter 860. Ill Be Nice to You. Ill Give You My Credit Card

    Chapter 860. I''ll Be Nice to You. I''ll Give You My Credit Card


    Jiang Yuning pushed the bowl of meat to her, then moved his chair closer. He looked exactly like Xiaosi, waiting for her to feed him.


    Nian Xi tried the meat herself, then put another piece of meat into his mouth.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head, ate the meat, then ate some rice. After that, he looked at her with a smile of satisfaction.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    Is he ying dumb? She thought.


    Eat by yourself. First, Im not your servant. Second, youre not my dog. Third, youre not my boyfriend, Nian Xi said straightforwardly.


    Jiang Yuning paused, thought for a few seconds, then wrote Ill be your boyfriend.


    He felt the first two werent likely to happen, so the third one was his only choice.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    Really? He wants to devote himself so he can eat meat?


    Beside Jiang Yuning, Uncle Han quietly put a hand on his forehead. For the very first time, he found that Jiang Yuning was rather shameless.


    Im sorry. I have no interest in you, Nian Xi said through clenched teeth.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning dropped his head, as if he had suffered severe harm.


    Nian Xi stopped talking to him, and quickly finished her lunch.


    Once again, a note was handed to her Ill be nice to you. Ill give you my credit card.


    Nian Xi nearly spit out the rice in her mouth.


    Normally speaking, she should be proud, as a famous scientist was pursuing her. At the very least, it would be a good story to tell her grandchildren. However, the reason why he pursued her was because the food tasted better when she fed him? That sounded pathetic.


    However, Nian Xi was surprised that Jiang Yuning offered to give her his credit card.


    Only people in love can be together. Weve only seen each other for a few times, and now youre telling me that you want to be my boyfriend. Stop joking. A rtionship is a serious thing. Its not like two people just simply live together, said Nian Xi seriously.


    She couldnt stand being with a man who wouldmunicate with sticky notes every day. She would go mad.


    Listen, she said. I like talking, I like noisy ces, and I like meat. I like delicious food from all over the world; were not from the same world. After saying that, Nian Xi ignored his reaction, and quickly finished the food on her te.


    She then dropped her chopsticks, stood up and said, Thank you for the lunch. Im going back to the police station. Uncle Han, can you please find me a ride?


    Yeah, sure.


    Jiang Yuning immediately stood up, with his eyebrows knitted.


    He wanted her to stay but didnt know how to ask her. With no other choice, he tugged her sleeve.


    I need to work. Well leave the next Monday for Paris, and Ill be here a day before that, with my colleagues. See you then. Looking at Jiang Yunings pitiful face, Nian Xi nearly reached out a hand to rub his hair.


    However, she couldnt do that, as he was actually older than him.


    After she was finished talking, Nian Xi headed toward the exit. Jiang Yuning followed closely behind her.


    While walking, Uncle Han called the chauffeur.


    By the door, the chauffeur drove the car over. Before Nian Xi got in the car, a note was put in her hand.


    Nian Xi read the note Come early. Ill buy you meat.


    Jiang Yunings ck and innocent eyes were filled with expectation. Nian Xi smiled and felt a warmness in her heart.


    I like beef. Get some beef for me. She got into the car smiling.


    Jiang Yuning fixed his eyes on the car as it left until Uncle Han patted him on the shoulder and asked him, Mr. Jiang, do you like Miss. Nian?


    Jiang Yuning nodded with a smile, then abruptly said with a deep voice, Go and buy some beef. She likes beef.


    Alright. Uncle Han nodded and responded smilingly, Paris has a lot of beef. Mr. Jiang, you can take Miss. Nian to a steak ce in Paris. Shell like it.

 Chapter 861. She Knew Better Than Anyone That He Was a Clean Slate When It Came to Relationships

    Chapter 861. She Knew Better Than Anyone That He Was a Clean te When It Came to Rtionships


    Jiang Yunings eyes lit up.


    He quickly wrote, How many days to Monday?


    Three days.


    Jiang Yuning wrote, Its so far away.


    He was someone who could spend an entire week in theb without leaving, but now he wasining that three days was too long a wait.


    Back at the police station, Nian Xi found that everyone was looking at her oddly.


    She was confused and decided to go to Team Bs office. It was their afternoon break and several of her colleagues stayed back to talk to each other. When she approached them, Chen Jing who was the closest to her teased, Our flower has finally returned. I thought you were going to stay at the great scientist, Mr. Jiangs, ce a while longer.


    Nian Xi was astonished. I came back after greeting him.


    Hmm. Everyone was nodding.


    Fan Yi was smiling. I was still wondering why he swapped me out and came up with a ridiculous excuse that my name sounded tacky. I guess he already had someone in mind and he wanted to get closer to that person. Mr. Jiang has great taste; he picked the prettiest one at our station.


    Nian Xi frowned. Jiang Yuning didnt even know about me; his assistant was the one who made the call. He thinks it would be better for me to protect him since I know him.


    All right. No need to get so defensive. Fan Yi was still smiling. Im not a petty person. You could have just told me that you already knew Mr. Jiang.


    Zhao Fan nodded as well. Were all from the same team; we would have supported you. In fact, I think youre awesome. How do you know someone so incredible? Youre so low key about it as well, but dont be preupied with dating when youre in Paris. We cant afford to shoulder the responsibility if something happens to Mr. Jiang there.


    Hmm. Director Wang values this mission a lot.


    Nian Xi was ufortable hearing them; they made it sound like she made special arrangements with Jiang Yuning to rece Fan Yi.


    It would tarnish his reputation as a serious scientist; it wasnt good to be gossiped about like this.


    Although he said several suggestive things today, she knew better than anyone that he was a clean te when it came to rtionships.


    Where did you hear all this from? Nian Xi looked at them coldly.


    After exchanging looks with one another, Fan Yi said, Huo Lizhi told us this. Theres no need to be upset. Like weve told you, were not ming you for anything.


    She quickly turned and walked to Team As office.


    When she got there, Huo Lizhi was still telling his fellow colleagues the same thing. I finally understand why our captain posted her to stay in the office. Can she crack a case based on her looks?


    His colleagues spotted Nian Xi first and their expressions changed. They quickly reminded him, Alright, thats enough. Nian Xi was promoted here from a neighborhood police post.


    Everyone knows how she was transferred here, Huo Lizhi said coldly. Look at how many years I spent toiling. How could she have made it here at such a young age? She must use her family connections to get to where she wants


    I was promoted at such a young age because I had already spent three years at the police station; Ive worked hard for this ce. I do everything from the investigation to the filing and paperwork by myself, Nian Xi said suddenly.


    Huo Lizhi turned to look at her, and his expression froze.


    Nian Xiughed coldly saying, Brother Huo. I used to respect you because youve managed to crack several cases along with Captain Luo. I thought you did your job well, but I guess I might have been wrong. Since you think Im only here because of my looks, lets duel. Ill show you my capabilities.

 Chapter 862. Nian Xis Contest

    Chapter 862. Nian Xi''s Contest


    As she finished talking, everyone in the office gasped in shock.


    Huo Lizhi looked at her as if she had just told a joke. Little girl, Im not your brother, and I dont care about your family background. Youre no match for me. Just leave.


    His arrogance made Nian Xi so angry, that she was trembling. As police officers, we should be humble and cautious. Dont you know that? If you dont know about me, why do you think you can look down on me? As a man, you started a rumor behind my back. How shameless are you? I wont argue anymore with you. Lets do shooting, thenbat. Ill let you see if Im qualified for the job or not. If it turns out that Im not good enough, Ill give up Jiang Yunings case; if I win, youll apologize to me in front of our colleagues.


    Nian Xi, stop joking. Zhan Hong frowned. Huo Lizhisbat skills are at least in the top three in our station. His shooting results ranked number twost year. You cant win.


    I dont have to win. I may not be a match for him, but I only want him to know that I didnt pull strings to get this job. Nian Xi looked at Huo Lizhi and said, You think that Im not good enough, dont you? You think I got this job by pulling strings, right? Beat me with your abilities then.


    Huo Lizhi nodded and said, All right. Since you insist on bringing disgrace on yourself, dont me me. But you have promised me that if I win, you wont take revenge on me in the name of public interest. Everyone in this office is our witness.


    Sure. If I take revenge on you, Ill be struck by lightning, Nian Xi swore.


    Soon, the entire police station heard about the contest between Nian Xi and Huo Lizhi.


    In half an hour, police officers had gathered outside the shooting practice room.


    Zhan Hong was the judge. Ten meters, three bullets. Whoever has the highest score wins. Huo Lizhi, you go first.


    Huo Lizhi stepped forward and shot three bullets. The first shot scored 9.7, the second, 9.6, and the third, 9.9.


    The police officers who were watching outside started whispering to each other.


    Nian Xi praised him silently. However, Huo Lizhis scores had given her great pressure.


    Zhan Hong turned to Nian Xi and asked her, Do you want to give up?


    Nian Xi shook her head and smiled. As Ive said, I dont n to win him. Im not eager to win. I just want to prove that women arent worse than men.


    Nian Xi put on the shooting spectacles and shot three bullets in a row. The first shot scored 9.8, the second, 9.7, and the third, 9.9.


    As her score was read, the other police officers fell into silence.


    Huo Lizhis eyes popped while looking at her.


    With regrets, Nian Xi shook her head and said, I worked in the station house for too long and havent shot for a long time. Im totally out of practice.


    Zhan Hong didnt know what to say.


    The scores were impressively high, yet she was not satisfied.


    How great was she before?


    Huo Lizhi sneered and said, I admit that youre good at shooting. However, police officers cant shoot people unless its necessary. Combat skills are more important.


    All right. Nian Xi gave a faint smile.


    Next, the two of them went downstairs to the gym.


    The space was broad. Nian Xiunched the first strike. Huo Lizhi dodged it easily and made a counterstrike.


    The result of the shooting contest frustrated him. To win back his dignity, he attacked swiftly and urately, with no mercy at all.


    Nian Xi was deeply aware that she was no match for him on the terms of strength. So, she stepped further and further backward, stably and carefully, never letting him hit her.


    Cant you do anything else but dodging? Huo Lizhiughed coldly. Youre never gonna catch a suspect like this.


    Nian Xi wasnt infuriated by his words, so she grasped an opportunity while he was talking, andnded a kick on his chest.


    Huo Lizhi was enraged andunched a series of fierce moves. Nian Xi realized that she was not able to block his sidekick, so she hurriedly raised her arms to protect her face. As a result, she was sent flying back by the kick.

 Chapter 863. Im Outstanding and Pretty. Am I Not Good Enough to Be Fancied by a Scientist?

    Chapter 863. I''m Outstanding and Pretty. Am I Not Good Enough to Be Fancied by a Scientist?


    Huo Lizhi, what are you doing?


    A shout cried out.


    Feng Jichuan rushed over angrily and helped Nian Xi to her feet. I can take you on if youre looking for a fight. What kind of man are you to bully a woman?


    Fear appeared in Huo Lizhis eyes.


    He knew how strong Feng Jichuan was. He was a soldier from the special forces who spent most of his years overseas, carrying out dangerous ssified missions. He could probably beat even the best fighter in the entire station.


    She was the one who wanted to fight. Its a fair fight between the two of us. Huo Lizhi looked at Nian Xi. Tell him. Tell him what you swore? Are you going to deny it now that youve lost? Are you going to ask someone else to fight me? Its ok. I know you have a special rtionship with Feng Jichuan.


    When did I lose? Nian Xi chuckled as she freed herself from Feng Jichuans grasp.


    Huo Lizhi frowned. Youre going to be a punk about it?


    Lizhi, shes right, she hasnt lost. Zhan Hong walked over and said expressionlessly, She won at shooting, and now youve won at head-to-headbat. You two are even. Besides, how you hit her just now, she defended herself with her arms. Naturally, you are stronger than her since you are a man. Thats the only reason why she fell to the floor. If we graded her fighting technique, I think it would be a close match.


    He turned and gave Nian Xi a thumbs up. To be honest with you, I might have underestimated your capabilities at the beginning. I hereby apologize to you.


    Its okay. Nian Xi looked at Huo Lizhi. I told you, you are older than me. You have ten more years of experience than I do. I was never nning on beating you. I just wanted to prove to myself. Too bad you only managed to get even with me after giving it your all.


    You Huo Lizhis face was green now, he took a step forward.


    Zhan Hong quickly stepped before him and looked at him sternly. She is right. This was supposed to be a friendly match between colleagues, but you were vicious when you attacked her. If she didnt shield herself, she would have been seriously injured. She is our colleague who is going to Paris with us. Im really disappointed in you. If not for the fact that we have a shortage of manpower, I would have asked for you to be transferred away immediately. You dont have a shred of team spirit.


    Zhan Hong Huo Lizhi shouted with widened eyes.


    You were trying to beat a woman. Theres nothing to be proud of. You should go back and adjust your mindset. Zhan Hong turned and left.


    Nian Xi walked away as well.


    Her entire body ached as she mmed into the hard, wooden floor earlier on.


    Nian Xi Feng Jichuan chased after her. Are you ok? Do you want me to bring you to the med bay?


    Im fine. Im used to this since I was at the police academy. I have calluses and scrapes everywhere now, Nian Xi said as she walked on.


    Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning Feng Jichuan sounded hesitant. I heard that you two already knew each other before this. Does he fancy you?


    So what if he did? Nian Xi blurted out. Im outstanding and pretty. Am I not good enough to be fancied by a scientist?


    Feng Jichuan was stunned. I dont mean it like that. I just think you should be careful when you go to Paris. You should keep a distance from him. Truthfully, Im worried that he might take advantage of you when you follow him around.


    So what if he takes advantage of me? If he likes me and pursues me, its natural for me to allow it to happen. Its better than not knowing what its like to have sex after being with you for so long, Nian Xi said without feeling embarrassed.

    Chapter 864. At the Sight of Yan Su, Nian Xi Rushed Up to Her and Gave Her a Huge Hug


    Feng Ji Chuans face wore a veryplicated expression.


    He was extremely embarrassed.


    Nian Xi, youre a girl. How can you say something like that? Dont you know why I never had sex with you? Your father and brother warned me about it. They dont allow pre-marital sex.


    Yeah. Fortunately, I didnt have sex with you. Id be so angry if you were my first and I wouldve ended up being in the same ce as another woman. As she finished talking, Nian Xi quickly left.


    In the bathroom in her office, she took off her clothes, and saw arge bruise on her back. She gasped in pain.


    That afternoon, Nian Junting heard about what she did, and gave her apliment. Not bad. Youre just like your father. Next time when youe back, Ill teach you a few moves. Youll beat that boy.


    Forget it. Youre out of practice. Id rather go to my brother to learn moves. Nian Xi thought for a moment, then asked, Dad, do you know Jiang Yuning from long ago?


    Yes. His people told me about itst time, Nian Qingyun said. I also heard from some other people that he came to the cityst year to do a secret project. His project is approved by the government.


    Nian Xi had guessed some of it.


    Nian Xi, you cannot tell anyone else about this. Once the secret about his project is leaked, his life will be in danger. Since you have epted this mission, you need to keep him safe.


    Dad


    Between the country and your personal safety, I have to choose the country. This is why I didnt want you to be a police officer in the first ce. I wanted my daughter to be safe. Nian Qingyun gave a long sigh.


    Suddenly, Nian Xi felt bitterly warm.


    The next day, Luosang went to try on her wedding dress with Nian Xi.


    Luosang asked her and Yan Su to be the bridesmaids, and Xiao Si and Mo Liuxi to be the groomsmen.


    When she arrived at the wedding dress store, Nian Sang was already there. Standing beside her, was a pretty girl who had long, straight hair. She was wearing a simple ck t-shirt and a pair of jeans.


    Yan Su, Yan Su, I finally get to meet you in person! At the sight of Yan Su, Nian Xi rushed up to her and gave her a huge hug. Luosang rmended your songs to me. I love them! But of course, that is not important. What important is, Ive been wanting to see you for a very long time. I heard that you were also in a long rtionship like I was, and that man also hurt you ruthlessly. Ive been feeling that you and I have the same misfortune.


    Under Nian Xis passionate hug, Yan Su took a few steps backward. She didnt even know how to react.


    I often hear Sangsang talk about you, said Yan Su. In fact, I couldnt make up my mind at first. Later on, she told me about how decisive you were. Thats how I finally made the decision. I really admire you.


    No, I admire you. You see, to prove yourself to your ex-boyfriend, you have now be a famous singer. I believe that if your ex-boyfriend saw your achievement, hed be so regretful.


    Hearing themplimenting each other, Luosang felt a little speechless. She couldnt help but join the conversation. There is a difference between you two though. Youre twenty-five, and shes twenty-three.


    Nian Xi turned and nced at her. She even wanted to give Luosang a kick, but for the sake of the baby, she didnt. Sangsang, youre as sharp-tongued as my brother now.


    She kisses me every day, so she has my venom. Nian Juntings voice was heard from behind her.


    Luosangs face reddened. She turned around, prepared to scold him. Behind her, Nian Junting was in ck trousers, a white jacket, and a ck bowtie. He was tall and strong, and his body shape was as perfect as a statue.


    Coupled with his handsome face and his dashing smile, he was emitting a royal aura. He looked like what Prince Charming would look like in real life.


    Although Luosang saw him every day, she had rarely seen him in a white suit.


    Her heart fluttered.


    Am I handsome? Nian Junting was looking at her seductively.


    He wanted to hear it from her even though he already knew the answer.


    She was too embarrassed to say it out loud with everyone there.


    You are, you are. You are the most handsome one of them all, Nian Xi said quickly. She had goosebumps all over watching her brother fish forpliments like that.


    I dont want to hear your answer. Nian Junting was still staring at Luosang passionately.


    Luosang lowered her head and cleared her throat. You look handsome. Lets order this for our wedding.


    Sang, what about us? Xiao Si pushed the smug-looking Nian Junting aside. He stepped forward, pulling Mo Liuxi along with him.


    Xiao Sis lips were pink and he looked clean and carefree, resembling an aloof schr in a ck suit.


    Mo Liuxi was the youngest amongst them. He was wearing a ck suit too. He emitted a different aura from the other two men. Less mature but more youthful. He looked like a fairy who walked out from an anime book, with two hands in his pockets looking distracted and uninterested. The three women were stunned.


    The two other men were jealous when the women paused to look at Mo Liuxi.


    Nian Junting jumped in front of him, blocking him from their view. Whats there to ogle at? Hes just a pre-pubescent boy.


    Luosang didnt say anything but Nian Xi rolled her eyes. Hes younger than the both of you.


    Xiao Si looked dismayed. Thats not pleasant to hear. I have a dimple all right. I look much younger than Ting at least.


    All right. I think I dont need groomsmen at my wedding after all. You both can head back, Nian Junting said coldly.


    He thoroughly regretted asking the two men to be his groomsmen, especially Mo Liuxi.


    Dont joke around. Lets order the suits. Its our turn to pick a gown now. Luosang was pulling her friends along.


    Nian Junting stood up immediately.


    Xiao Si said, Dont follow them. Lets sit and talk for a bit. Nian Xi and Yan Su will pick out something nice for her.


    No. I cant miss out on any details that have to do with the wedding and my woman. Nian Junting quickly followed the girls.


    Nian Xi nudged Luosang enviously. Look at how well my brother treats you. I cant help but remember the time I tried on bridal gownsst year. Feng Jichuan waste, and you were with me then as well. Now, Im your bridesmaid, in a blink of an eye.


    Dont think about those unhappy memories. Luosangforted her.


    Yan Su nodded her head. At least youve tried on wedding gowns before. Ive never tried one on in my life.


    Was it apetition of the biggest victim?


    The gowns made Luosang look so blissful and happy. When they were choosing one, the staff members were rmending all types to Luosang. What do you think about this one? Its made with the most delicate and expensive fabric. It is embroidered with fifty crystals on it.


    How much is it? Nian Junting asked.


    Two million dors.


    Its so cheap? Nian Junting was unsatisfied. How can my woman wear something so cheap?


    Actually, we have a prized grown at our boutique. Suddenly, the staff member lit up. Its just a little expensive, it costs twenty million dors.


    All right. Lets try that one. Nian Junting nodded his head.

 Chapter 866. Liu Xi, Which One Do You Think Is Prettier?

    Chapter 866. Liu Xi, Which One Do You Think Is Prettier?


    Luosang sighed. I need a wedding dress that suits me, not the most expensive one. Besides, my belly is huge now. I cant fit in many of these dresses.


    Nian Junting raised his brows and responded with, You are priceless to me. In my eyes, only the most expensive dress matches you.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. She felt so sweet, as if someone just poured a jar of honey into her heart.


    Nian Xi and Yan Su nced at each other. As two people who just came out of failed rtionships, they were very jealous of Luosang.


    Atst, Luosang picked a dress that she liked. It was not expensive and matched her perfectly.


    When the bridesmaids picked their dresses, the shop assistant asked about their budget. Nian Junting replied with, Whatever. Theyre not my wife anyway. The cheaper the better. I dont like spending money on other women.


    Nian Xi and Yan Su both silently swore they would never be bridesmaids again.


    They worked hard for the wedding, but no one took them seriously.


    The three girls tried on the dresses together. From time to time, their voices were heardughing and chatting.


    Xiao Si went out to take a phone call.


    Nian Junting and Mo Liu sat on the chairs outside the fitting room.


    The store was quiet. Only Lisa Onos music and the three girls could be heard.


    Wow, Sangsang. You have huge cups now! Yourerger than me many times over! I am shocked.


    Dont just talk about me. Look at Su. I could never tell that Wow, look at herrge booty


    All right. Keep your voices down.


    Nian Juntings body suddenly started burning, as he was thinking he couldnt even cover Luosangs breasts with both hands right then.


    The girls little talks could be really dirty sometimes.


    Mo Liuxi suddenly recalled how Yan Su pressed her hip against his lower abdomen in the elevator. A stream of warmth started gushing to his lower belly.


    He stood up and went out to smoke a cigarette.


    About ten minutester, the three girls came out.


    Luosang was in an off-the-shoulder white wedding dress. The dress covered her bulging belly perfectly. In that dress, she didnt look like a pregnantdy at all.


    Luo, youre so pretty. Youre much prettier now than before. Nian Junting praised her sincerely.


    Brother, look at us. Nian Xi stood before Luosang. She and Yan Su were both in pink dresses. Do we look good?


    Im looking at your sister-inw. Nian Junting mercilessly pushed her away.


    Nian Xi felt she wanted to disown her brother.


    Xi, ignore him. Your skin is slightly dark, but you still look good in pink, even though youre not as pretty as Yan Su in that dress. Xiao Siughed andforted her.


    Nian Xi did not want to talk to that man.


    She had done a lot of fieldwork when she was working at the station house. How could her skin not be dark?


    Yan Su smiled, blinked, then nced at Mo Liuxi who was spending time with his phone.


    Xiao Si had no idea the two of them had stopped talking to each other. He tugged Mo Liuxis arm and asked him, Liu Xi, which one you think is prettier?


    Mo Liuxi raised his head, ndly nced at the two girls and then answered the question, Nian Xi is prettier.


    Yan Su was not surprised.


    However, she was somehow ufortable.


    Xiao Si made a joke earlier because he was close with Nian Xi.


    Mo Liuxi was close with neither of them. His straightforward answer made her feel embarrassed.


    Yan Su, dont mind him. People have different tastes. Xiao Si didnt want Yan Su to feel awkward, so he hurriedly said, For example, I dont like dark-skinned girls like Nian Xi.

 Chapter 867. Sweet Quibble between Lovebirds

    Chapter 867. Sweet Quibble between Lovebirds


    Nian Xi was cursing Xiao Si in her mind.


    He didnt need to drag her down just to mediate the situation.


    But she smiled and added, Su does look nicer than me. I might look nicer in the dress if I was less tan. Thanks for thepliment Liuxi. I know you didnt want me to feel ufortable.


    Mo Liuxi replied, No, I was telling the truth.


    Nian Xi,


    Xiao Si,


    They both didnt know what to say.


    They wondered what grievances Yan Su and Mo Liuxi had with each other.


    Yan Su smiled gently. Its okay. Everyone has a different standard of beauty.


    She was insinuating that Mo Liuxi didnt have a high standard for beauty.


    Mo Liuxi read in between the lines. He could have ignored herment but instead added, Some people can only takepliments. Its not a desirable trait to have.


    Yan Su blushed and red at him.


    Xiao Si quickly added before things escted, Liuxi, youre a grown man. You shouldnt fight with a woman like that. You should have a broader mind.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and walked away.


    Yan Su turned to walk in the opposite direction; she wanted to get away from him.


    Nian Xi tugged on Luosangs sleeves and whispered, What happened between your brother and Yan Su? They look like a couple when they fight.


    Luosang was speechless. Like a couple? A couple of enemies you mean? Its a long story; its my fault anyway. You will walk with Liuxi and Su will walk with Xiao Si for the wedding.


    After they left the boutique, Lu Kang sent Yan Su back to the apartment and Xiao Si went back to thepany. Mo Liuxi left on his own.


    Nian Xi went back to the Nian Vi with Nian Junting for a meal.


    At 5:30 p.m., Murong Cheng told Nian Xi, Dont fall in love with that scientist when youre in Paris. I dont approve of the two of you. Not that I dont like him; I respect people who devote themselves to science. But the truth is, I just want you to be happy and he is someone who needs to be protected at all times. He is doing dangerous and important work. I just want you to be safe.


    Nian Xi frowned. Since when was I going to date him? He isnt courting me.


    Your dad told me.


    Nian Xi brought her hand to her forehead. Her dad was surely trying to find an opportunity to talk to her mother. He dragged her down for his own intentions. He would lose his own daughter sooner orter.


    Ma, Im going on a work trip. Im not going on a date, Nian Xi said.


    Nian Junting looked at her casually. I think youre going there on a romantic trip. That guy is good at hiding his intentions.


    Luosang added, Hes so fresh and handsome. Its a treat to look at him all day.


    Nian Xi was furious. They had all underestimated her.


    On Sunday, Nian Xi woke up early in the morning to pack her luggage.


    Zhan Hong was downstairs waiting for her at ten oclock.


    As Nian Xi carried her luggage down, Zhan Hong and Huo Lizhi were sitting in the front of the car. Fang Qi helped her load her luggage and sat in the back with her.


    Why are we leaving so early? Nian Xi asked. The original n was to leave in the afternoon. Zhan Hong had called her early in the morning at six to notify her regarding the change of ns.


    Zhan Hong said, Mr. Han said that Mr. Jiang was going to theb in the afternoon and he wouldnt be able to meet us, hence were going now to catch him.


    Nian Xi nodded.


    Outside the physicsboratory.


    Jiang Yuning was staring at the door while eating his siew mai. If his mouth wasnt moving, one might think that he was a sculpture.

 Chapter 868. Their Hands Are Rough, Yours Are Smooth

    Chapter 868. Their Hands Are Rough, Yours Are Smooth


    Uncle Han stood by his side and said, Mr. Jiang, when Officer Nian and the other officers arrive, please do not only stare at Officer Nian. You need to greet the other officers too. Otherwise, they will misunderstand Officer Nian.


    Jiang Yunings eyes showed a confused look. He lowered his head to find a pen, but he was still holding a shumai. Atst, he put the Shumai in Uncle Hans hands, and wroteMisunderstand what?


    Uncle Han gave a bitter smile. He wondered when Mr. Jiang would like to start talking.


    They might think that you are fond of her, or, you like her.


    Jiang Yuning nodded, and wroteI do like her.


    Uncle Han smiled bitterly again, and then exined, But, itll be inappropriate for her colleagues to know about it. Officer Nian wasnt selected for the mission at first. I asked the police station to rece another officer with her. The others might think she pulled strings to get the job. Last time when they came here, her colleagues misunderstood her.


    Jiang Yuning looked at Mr. Han confused, without fully understanding his words.


    Uncle Han sighed. For Jiang Yuning, science projects were never difficult, but interpersonal rtionships were mission impossible. Anyway, you need to listen to me. If you dont want to bring her trouble, dont stare at her.


    Jiang Yuning frowned with his pretty eyebrows.


    He wasnt happy about that, but still, he nodded. He didnt want to bring her trouble.


    About ten minutester, an off-road-car was driven into the institution. Nian Xi and three men came out of the car together.


    It was the first time Zhan Hong and the other two police officers saw Jiang Yuning so closely. ording to his personal files, he was twenty-nine years old. However, he looked only about twenty-two.


    His face was delicate, and his skin was snow-white. Inparison, they all looked very rough.


    However, none of them dared to make light of him. Instead, they all looked at him with deep admiration.


    Mr. Jiang, good to see you. My name is Zhan Hong. I am the squad leader, responsible for your safety. Zhan Hong walked up to shake Jiang Yunings hand.


    Jiang Yuning was a little distracted. Recalling what Uncle Han just said to him, he tried to focus and to talk to Zhan Hong. But still, he only heard Zhan Hongs name, but nothing else.


    Only when Uncle Han pushed him slightly did he shake Zhan Hongs hand, as if he just woke up from a dream.


    Nian Xi was surprised.


    Jiang Yuning actually listened to someone else talking!


    After shaking the hands of the other police officers, he turned to Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi said to him, Weve met each other before. So I guess we dont need to shake hands.


    Jiang Yuning didnt listen to her, reaching out his hand. Nian Xi had no choice but to shake it.


    After a few seconds of handshaking, Nian Xi tried to pull away. However, she found that she couldnt.


    She was a little embarrassed, as her colleagues were right beside her.


    Let go of me she warned him with a low voice that only the two of them could hear.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head, looking at his hand and hers. He was distracted again.


    Nian Xi had no choice but to forcibly pull away her hand.


    She then nced at her colleagues. Zhan Hong and Fang Qi had turned their eyes away. Only Huo Lizhi was looking at her sarcastically. That made Nian Xi feel ufortable and repulsed.


    Jiang Yuning spent a short while staring at his empty hand, then wrote a note for Nian XiTheir hands are rough. Yours is smooth.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    Fang Qi said jokingly, Nian Xi, are you having a secret conversation with Mr. Jiang?


    Nian Xi felt embarrassed. At that very moment, she felt lucky that he did not like talking. If he said that out loud, the three male officers would be offended. It would also sound like that he was trying to flirt with her.


    Uncle Han exined with a smile, Its not a secret conversation. Mr. Jiang doesnt like talking. Talking is very exhausting for him, so he normallymunicates with people by writing.

 Chapter 869. What Did He Look at Her For? She Wasnt Planning on Being Jiang Yunings Wife

    Chapter 869. What Did He Look at Her For? She Wasn''t nning on Being Jiang Yuning''s Wife


    Fang Qi was stunned.


    Writing was more tiring, wasnt it? He couldnt fathom the mind of this man.


    Nian Xi felt embarrassed. She was worried that Jiang Yuning would write something else even more inappropriate. She quickly said, Lets all head in, its too sunny out here.


    She was mocked and ridiculedst night; she wouldnt allow it to happen again. Jiang Yuning nced up at the sky before walking indoors. After taking a few steps, he turned to look at Nian Xi. He stopped and turned a couple more times.


    Everyone,


    Nian Xi had a headache; he was being too obvious. She might as well lead the way. Jiang Yuning followed her quickly, like her little sidekick; he wasnt turning anymore.


    There were various fruits and nuts ced on the coffee table in the main living room. It was obvious that it wasnt prepared by Jiang Yuning. Uncle Han beckoned them to sit. Help yourselves, no need to hold back. Im grateful to all of you for protecting our mister. Thank you, officers.


    Mr. Jiang is devoting himself to the work of science. Its our duty to protect him, Zhan Hong said politely as he took his seat. Nian Xi sat down as well.


    Just as Fang Qi was about to sit down next to Nian Xi, a figure rushed forward and grabbed the seat next to her. Jiang Yuning handed over a slice of watermelon to Nian Xi and looked at her expectantly.


    Thank you. Nian Xi took the watermelon. She was feeling extremely self-conscious in front of the rest of them. Um you should give a slice to the others as well.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and wrote something, then handed the note to Zhan Hong, Fang Qi, and Huo Lizhi. Get one yourselves, it read.


    The difference in treatment was obvious.


    Huo Lizhi was looking at Nian Xi with mockery in his eyes.


    Nian Xi started eating the watermelon since the situation was going to be ufortable anyway. After she took a bite, she eximed, This is delicious. Ive never tasted watermelon this juicy and refreshing before!


    Are you exaggerating? Fang Qi took a bite of the watermelon and he was also stunned. Its really delicious.


    Uncle Han smiled, This is a special breed of watermelon that Mr. Jiangs father cultivated; its a gically modified version.


    They remembered that Mr. Jiangs father was a biologist.


    Zhan Hong said, This watermelon would be a huge hit if it was released to the masses.


    The cost would be too high, Uncle Han said. The seedling would cost about two hundred dors. Not to mention that each vine can only produce one fruit. The watermelon will have to be sold at a thousand dors for it to be profitable. No one would pay for that.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Why did he spend so much time to develop this technology then? What a waste of brain cells.


    Uncle Han smiled. Because Professor Han loves watermelons.


    The crowd was silent again. The whole family was a bunch of weirdos, but it was one delicious watermelon. They quickly gobbled it up. Afterward, they had strawberries, oranges, and cherries; they were all delicious.


    Nian Xi asked, Dont tell me these are special breeds grown by Mr. Jiangs father as well?


    Before Uncle Han spoke, Jiang Yuning was already nodding his head. Nian Xi stopped herself. She was going to say that whoever bes the daughter-inw of the Jiang family would be a lucky girl to be able to ess such amazing fruit and produce.


    She was scared that Jiang Yuning would write, You can be my wife, and embarrass her further. However, Fang Qi said her thoughts aloud, Mr. Jiang, your wife would be a lucky woman.


    Jiang Yuning looked at Nian Xi.


    Why did he look at her? She wasnt nning on being Jiang Yunings wife.

 Chapter 870. You Have to Control Yourself. Dont Throw Him Into Your Bed

    Chapter 870. You Have to Control Yourself. Don''t Throw Him Into Your Bed


    Thankfully, Jiang Yuning never listened to other people talking.


    He failed to understand the hidden meaning of Fang Qis words and kept serving fruit to Nian Xi.


    Im good, Nian Xi said. Mr. Jiang, for your safety, we need to put a few surveince cameras and covert listening devices on your personal belongings that youll bring to Paris.


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    Please let us know if we caused you any inconvenience, Nian Xi reminded him.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    You can go and rest now. Well do the rest. Nian Xi stood up.


    Jiang Yunings mood was up as well.


    At first, Nian Xi thought that he would go to work. However, he followed behind them when Uncle Han guided them to his bedroom.


    Zhan Hong and the others didnt say anything about it. After all, Jiang Yujing had the right to know where the devices would be.


    As the devices were installed, Zhan Hong talked to Jiang Yuning about the security n. However, after a long speech, he found that Jiang Yuning wasnt listening at all. With no other choice, he asked Nian Xi to repeat it to him.


    At lunchtime, the chef served Chinese dishes, including spicy boiled pork slices, sliced beef and potato, and pork stew.


    Nian Xi was surprised by the rich lunch.


    Jiang Yuning seemed to have memorized what she saidst time.


    While she was thinking, Jiang Yuning handed her a noteDo you like the food?


    Nian Xi nodded.


    Jiang Yuning grinned. His eyes even glowed.


    Just eat. Nian Xi picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She had too much fruit in the morning, so she only ate a little for lunch. The three male officers had quite a lot too.


    Jiang Yuning didnt touch the meat, but sat quietly beside her, eating the beans and cabbage.


    Looking at him, Zhan Hong felt very sorry. He couldnt help but say, Nian Xi, pick some meat for Mr. Jiang.


    He doesnt eat meat. Once Nian Xi exined, Jiang Yuning turned to her and opened his delicate pink lips, waiting for her to feed him.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to do.


    Just feed him, said Zhan Hong.


    Nian Xi wanted to stomp her foot on Jiang Yunings. He always made her feel embarrassed. With anger, she picked a spicy pork slice and put it into Jiang Yunings mouth.


    Wait, Mr. Jiang cant eat spicy food, Uncle Han said, but it was already toote.


    Jiang Yuning closed his mouth and chewed the pork. In the next second, his entire face turned red, and his eyes became watery, as if raindrops hade from his eyes. Soon, his lips became red as well. This made him look even prettier than a girl. Looking at him, the others were stunned.


    Just spit it out. Nian Xi was a little stunned too. Looking at the pitiful Jiang Yuning, she really wanted to pet him.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head. He wanted to find his pen, but the hot vor in his mouth was torturing him. While gasping for air, he said, You fed it to me. I dont want to spit it out.


    He swallowed the meat, then quickly stood up and walked to the bathroom.


    He had no idea that what he said to Nian Xi made her want to look for a hole to crawl in.


    Huo Lizhi snorted and said, And you said that he doesnt like you. Isnt that obvious enough?


    Nian Xi couldnt stand his gaze any longer, so she argued with him, When did I say that he doesnt like me? Youve been saying that to yourself the whole time. I just didnt like your disdainful attitude. Besides, whats so wrong about the fact that he likes me? Im pretty and capable. Isnt that normal for guys to like me?


    You


    All right. Stop. Zhan Hong red at Huo Lizhi, then said to him, Nian Xi is right. Shes single, so is Mr. Jiang. No rule says they cant be together. After a short pause, he said to Nian Xi in earnest, You need to control yourself. Dont throw him into your bed.

 Chapter 871. She Said That She Doesnt Like Me Following Her Around and Staring at Her

    Chapter 871. She Said That She Doesn''t Like Me Following Her Around and Staring at Her


    Did she look like such a horny person?


    Fang Qi nodded his head meaningfully. I nearly turned gay when I saw him just now.


    No, her colleagues were too dirty.


    Im done. You guys go ahead. Nian Xi quickly stood up to leave.


    She decided to check on Jiang Yuning in the bathroom. He was still gargling his mouth and sshing his face with cold water.


    Nian Xi walked over and he looked up at her. His lips were even redder from before, as if he was wearing lipstick, and his eyes were watery. He said weakly, Its really spicy, but I ate it since you fed it to me. I didnt spit it out.


    Nian Xis heart softened at his innocent face.


    Im sorry. I shouldnt have fed you that. Nian Xi felt bad.


    Jiang Yuning grinned. Feed me something non-spicy next time then.


    Nian Xis face darkened. Im not going to feed you anymore. Feed yourself.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head sadly.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. In the future, dont flirt with me in front of my colleagues. They might get the wrong idea about us; I dont want that. Im still looking for a boyfriend, so just treat me like another one of your bodyguards.


    Flirt? Jiang Yuning was stunned. He didnt understand what she meant.


    Yeah, flirtatious. Thats when you treat a girl extremely nice. You were flirting with me when you followed behind me and when you kept staring at me. Nian Xi thought that she sounded a little harsh but she had to make herself clear.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her without blinking; he looked lost.


    Just watch it. Nian Xi reminded him before walking away.


    She turned to see Jiang Yuning staring into the basin. His fringe was wet, his lips were downturned and his eyes looked forlorn; he looked like a sad puppy.


    Nian Xi quickly looked away. Her heart would melt into goo if she looked any longer.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her sadly as she walked away. When Uncle Han saw him, he started walking towards him but watched him sadly walk to his own room.


    He looked hurt. Uncle Han chased after him saying, Mr. Jiang


    Jiang Yuningid down on his bed sadly and turned away from Uncle Han.


    Whats the matter, Mr. Jiang?


    She said that she doesnt like me following her around and staring at her, Jiang Yuning said pitifully. He sounded like he was hurt by her words.


    Then you have to control yourself, Uncle Han said.


    Jiang Yuning paused to think before replying, No, I cant control myself.


    In the afternoon, Jiang Yuning didnt emerge from his bedroom.


    Nian Xi was bored and wandered around theboratory by herself when she entered the back garden on ident. There were all sorts of trees and nts growing.


    These are nted by Mr. Jiang himself. Uncle Han suddenly appeared behind her.


    Nian Xi was surprised and nodded her head. Impressive. I cant nt anything.


    Mr. Jiangs favorite pastime is watching and tending to these nts when hes not researching. Uncle Han smiled. He doesnt have many friends, and his family is devoted to research as well. His life is dry and boring other than his work.


    Nian Xi felt bad when she heard that.


    The psychiatrist said the reason he doesnt enjoy talking is because of theck ofpany since he was young. Uncle Han sighed. He said that writing is not tiring and is a coping mechanism he uses to escape his loneliness. Officer Nian, I know his way of life disturbs you, but he just wants a friend.

 Chapter 872. Are You Having a Problem With Mr. Jiang?

    Chapter 872. Are You Having a Problem With Mr. Jiang?


    Nian Xi bit her lip and said, I know that he only wants a friend. But it could be seen as flirty in others eyes


    Officer Nian, It turns out that you care a lot about how other people think of you. Uncle Han smiled and said, I get it. Ill make it clear with Mr. Jiang and tell him not to bother you again. See you.


    After he was finished talking, Uncle Han turned and walked away.


    Eh, thats not what I meant. Nian Xi scratched her scalp and said, I just


    She was always a smart talker, but at that moment, she stuttered.


    Its all right. Everyone has the right to choose friends. Perhaps, you dont want to be friends with Mr. Jiang because he is too weird. That is very reasonable. Many people are like that. They admire him for his work but stay away from him because of his character. I can understand. I just feel a little sorry for Mr. Jiang, as he got up at six in the morning and waited out there to see you. Uncle Han gave a faint smile and then left.


    Nian Xi was depressed.


    Uncle Hans words made her feel guilty. It wasnt like that she didnt want to be friends with him.


    He sometimes held her hand and refused to let go, and sometimes asked her to feed him. Was that how people treated their friends?


    However, she understood that she couldnt judge him with the standard of normal people, as he had a character w.


    At six in the evening, Jiang Yuning was lying on the bed and his stomach was rumbling. As he stood up and opened the door, Uncle Han came in with a serving cart.


    Jiang Yuning put on his shoes and shook his head. Uncle Han understood that he wanted to go out and have a meal with Nian Xi.


    Have you forgotten that you had a fight with Officer Nian earlier? You need to eat in your room tonight, Uncle Han said to him.


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then shook his head again. He worried that Uncle Han might not get his meaning, so he picked up the notebook and pen on the nightstand and wrote I woke up, forgot about that.


    Uncle Han smiled and said, But Ive talked to Officer Nian this afternoon. She said she doesnt want to have a meal with you and she doesnt want to be your friend.


    Hearing his words, Jiang Yuning was in a daze for a while, and then his eyes suddenly became lusterless.


    Uncle Han felt sorry for him. He knew that it was cruel, but he also knew that Mr. Jiang was a very frank person. Sometimes, to achieve a better result, he had to tell him the truth.


    If you keep talking to her, looking at her and following behind her, shell dislike you more and more. So, to avoid bringing her trouble, dont look at her, talk or have meals with her anymore, okay?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly.


    He couldnt do that.


    That was too painful, even more painful than losing his shumai.


    Do what you want then. But Officer Nian will dislike you more and more. She might even refuse to go to Paris with you, said Uncle Han helplessly.


    Jiang Yuning paused for a short while, and then lowered his head.


    Uncle Han pretended not to notice his sad face and served the food.


    Jiang Yuning had no appetite. He had a few bites, thenid back down.


    Uncle Han returned to the dining room and said to Nian Xi and the others, You dont need to wait for Mr. Jiang. He already had a meal in his room.


    Zhan Hong felt a little sorry. Have we been bothering Mr. Jiang? We can eat in another room actually


    Its not like that. Mr. Jiang is in a bad mood. He has no appetite. While speaking, Uncle Han nced at Nian Xi. After that, he left to do his work.


    Zhan Hong immediately looked at Nian Xi seriously and said, Are you having a problem with Mr. Jiang?


    Eh no Nian Xi picked up her chopsticks, responding without confidence.

 Chapter 873. Nian Xis Heart Skipped a Beat When She Saw Him

    Chapter 873. Nian Xi''s Heart Skipped a Beat When She Saw Him


    Why didnt Mr. Jiange out then?


    Fang Qi said indignantly, How could you fight with such a cute, innocent and handsome big boy? You are too cruel. If I were you, I would be showing him my tender loving care. Of course, like how I would treat a younger brother. Dont get me wrong guys.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    Big boy? He was more like an old man pretending to be young.


    Zhan Hong nodded his head as well. Dont hurt Mr. Jiang.


    Nian Xi said, You only had one meal with him. Do you really need to be so protective over him?


    Fang Qi furrowed his brows. I dont know. I only know that my heart melted when I saw him. If we get into any danger in Paris, I am willing to sacrifice myself to keep him safe.


    Yup. Zhan Hong agreed. He is so cute.


    Nian Xi felt awkward listening to these grown men. She had to agree though, that guy was adorable. Nian Xi looked over at Huo Lizhi, who was silent.


    He took a bite and looked up at her and said coldly, Its good that youre maintaining a distance from him. Youre nowhere good enough for him.


    Nian Xi hadpletely lost her appetite. She took a couple of bites but she was restless. She felt like she had done something terrible, especially now that Jiang Yuning wasnting out of his room.


    She couldnt fall asleep at night so she called Luosang. Do you think I was being too harsh?


    Yeah you were. Extremely harsh. Luosang was disapproving. How could you say something so hurtful? Does it really matter what others think? Or are you afraid that Feng Ji Chuan will hear about this? Are you still nning on getting back with him?


    No, of course not. Nian Xi was shocked. I didnt want to have a special rtionship with Jiang Yuning. Im afraid that my colleagues might get the wrong idea. I dont want them to think that I treat rtionships lightly. It would make it difficult for me to find a real rtionship in the future.


    What are you afraid of? Youre single now anyway. You dont need to worry about anything since youre single. Youre free to mingle with anyone you like. You can flirt with whoever you want. I dont have a single friend of the opposite gender since I got together with your brother. You should make use of this opportunity


    Luosang was getting excited when Nian Junting suddenly said, You sound like you regret settling down with me so quickly. Do you want to have more fun and flirt around more?


    No ah be gentle. Im pregnant.


    Nian Xi could hear Luosang groaning and moaning over the phone. Immediately she blushed. She couldnt stand the two of them; they should have hung up first.


    She hung up and reflected over what Luosang said.


    Yeah, she was single. Why should she care about what others thought of her? Couldnt she have her own friends of the opposite gender?


    They set off at 7:30 a.m. and Nian Xi was thest one to wake up. She packed up hastily before she met up with the others.


    Everyone was ready and waiting in the living room. Jiang Yuning was wearing a pair of ck cropped pants and a white button-down. He was also wearing a pair of ck oxford shoes, revealing his fair ankles.


    Nian Xis heart skipped a beat when she saw him.


    Jiang Yuning was always wearing something casual like track pants and sweats. She had never seen him in anything this formal before. He had a different aura and she was swept away.

 Chapter 874. Nian Xi Wanted to Pinch It

    Chapter 874. Nian Xi Wanted to Pinch It


    She used to read The Book of Songs. She still remembered one line from that book Look at those recesses in the banks of the Qi, with their green bamboos, so fresh and luxuriant! There is our elegant and aplished prince, as from the knife and the file, as from the chisel and the polisher!


    Her teacher had exined the line for her, but back then, she couldnt imagine the face of the man in the poem.


    Now, as she saw Jiang Yuning, that line popped up in her mind.


    She had seen many guys in white shirts, including Nian Junting, Mo Liuxi, Feng Ji Chuan.


    However, inparison with Jiang Yuning, they allcked the innocence that he had. That innocence wasing from his bones, deep inside.


    Ahem. Seeing Nian Xi fix her eyes on Jiang Yuning, Zhan Hong put a fist on his mouth and coughed. Then, he reminded her saying, Nian Xi, the breakfast is on the table. Pick some and then well go. Otherwise, well miss the ne.


    Oh, all right. Nian Xi came back to her senses and automatically picked up a cup of soymilk and a sandwich.


    Fang Qi kindly grabbed her suitcase.


    Nian Xi nced at Jiang Yuning. Thetter didnt look at her but followed behind Xu Gang.


    She was a little unhappy. She couldnt help but recall how he turned back over and over to look at her yesterday, when he left.


    Somehow, she felt as if she had raised a puppy, and it was suddenly not clinging to her anymore.


    They walked out of the institution and saw two cars were parked outside.


    Zhan Hong arranged Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning and Uncle Han to be in the same car, and the rest in the other car.


    Nian Xi needed to guard Jiang Yuning closely, so she sat in the backseat with him.


    When the car started, Jiang Yuning stood straight, hands on his knees. He then fastened his seatbelt, looking outside the left window.


    As a police officer, Nian Xi needed to look around to pay attention to the surrounding environment.


    She noticed sometimes that Jiang Yuning would look at her sneakily. Every time she turned to look at him, he would immediately turn his eyes away like a timid little rabbit.


    Nian Xi found that funny. Suddenly, she felt much better. As he looked at her again, she abruptly turned to catch him with her eyes. She caught him a few times, then noticed that Jiang Yunings earlobes had turned red.


    His earlobes were fleshy. Looking at his red earlobe, Nian Xi wanted to pinch it.


    When they arrived at the airport, Jiang Yuning opened the door and got off the car first.


    Nian Xi immediately got off the car and said to him, You have to wait until I get off the car and observe the surrounding area.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, then looked at the front without responding to her.


    Have you heard what I said? Nian Xi repeated herself. We are still in China, so youre safe now. When we go abroad, you need to cooperate with us.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head, looking at his own tiptoes. He kept ignoring her.


    Why dont you talk to me? Nian Xi felt annoyed.


    You dont want to be friends with me. You dislike me. So, its better I dont talk to you, Jiang Yuning said with a low voice, and then quickly walked to Uncle Han.


    Nian Xi was very angry.


    When did she say that she disliked him?


    They entered the airport and started to go through security. The security process for international passengers was ratherplicated. Even though they had a special pass, it still took them around fifty minutes.


    As Uncle Han was falling behind alone, Nian Xi hurriedly went to him and asked, Uncle Han, what have you told Mr. Jiang? He refused to talk to me and said that I dislike him.


    I told him that you dont like him, and that you dont want to be friends with him. I also told him not to bother you again. Uncle Han smiled and said, Was I wrong?


    Nian Xi felt remorseful. She slightly opened her mouth and prepared to say something. Uncle Han interrupted her, You meant that yesterday when you talked to me. I dont know how to speak in an indirect way, so I told Mr. Jiang the truth. He isnt bothering you anymore Miss. Nian, so you can stop worrying.


    After he finished talking, Uncle Han went after Jiang Yuning.

 Chapter 875. Please Dont Hate Me, I Like You

    Chapter 875. Please Don''t Hate Me, I Like You


    Nian Xi felt like the bad guy.


    She regretted it. She shouldnt have said what she said the day before. Uncle Han was right. She was being too hurtful. Just because she cared about what others thought of her, she selfishly pushed away someone so pure and kind.


    At the VIP waiting lounge.


    They were standing around and chatting here and there. Only Jiang Yuning was sitting down in a daze. Perhaps he was deep in thought, but Nian Xi thought he looked bored and a little sad.


    Like what Uncle Han said: He had no friends and he wasnt good at socializing. He extended his kindness to her, but she shunned it because it bothered her. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She wanted to walk over to him but the lounge was quiet; she didnt know how to exin herself if she walked over to him.


    When they finally boarded the ne, Uncle Han and Jiang Yuning sat together. Nian Xi walked over and asked to change seats with Uncle Han.


    Uncle Han refused her. Officer Nian. Havent I made myself clear? Have you stopped caring about what others think about you?


    Nian Xi was blushing from embarrassment. Uncle Han, I can protect him if I sit next to him. Im here to apologize to you and Mr. Jiang. I was being selfish yesterday.


    Have you really thought this through? Uncle Han raised his brows. Please dont do anything else to hurt Mr. Jiang anymore. The longer you spend time together, the more hurtful your words will be.


    I promise, I wont. Nian Xi swore.


    Please take care of Mr. Jiang during the flight then. Uncle Han stood up to make way.


    Jiang Yuning looked at Uncle Han and he seemed troubled. He then looked at Nian Xi and quickly looked away, staring outside the window.


    Isnt it ufortable to sit that way? Nian Xi teased him. He still wasnt looking at her. She could only see his side profile; his pink ear facing her.


    Suddenly, she leaned in and blew in his ear.


    Jiang Yuning felt a wave of electricity pass through him and he turned around violently. Nian Xis face was inches away from him.


    After staring into each others eyes for a while, Jiang Yuning was blushing to the tips of his ears.


    Nian Xi was feeling a little awkward, but she found it amusing when she saw his face turn red.


    All right. Dont be angry anymore. Ill apologize to you, and its not that I dont want to be your friend, neither do I dislike you, Nian Xi said. Im sorry. Will you still talk to me?


    Jiang Yuning was still looking at her in a daze. Nian Xi was looking at him as well. He looked like a sweet, cute and innocent boy.


    After nearly half a minute, he quickly wrote on his notepad, Can I still follow you around and talk to you? Do you like me?


    Nian Xi nodded her head. Of course we can be good friends.


    Jiang Yunings eyes lit up, and he nodded his head and wrote again, Please dont hate me. I like you.


    Nian Xis heart melted when she read what he wrote. How could there be anyone as pure and innocent as him? He was like a nk te.


    I like you as a friend too. Nian Xi smiled.


    Jiang Yuning was grinning like a child.


    Put on your seat belt, Nian Xi said, reminding him.


    He obediently fastened his seatbelt and continued to stare at her.


    Look to the front, dont always stare at me. Nian Xi adjusted his face to the front.


    Jiang Yuning grinned as he wrote, You are pretty.

 Chapter 876. I Missed You. I Was Upset, and I Couldnt Sleep

    Chapter 876. I Missed You. I Was Upset, and I Couldn''t Sleep


    I know that Im pretty. You dont need to always mention that, or itll be boring, Nian Xi fastened her seatbelt as well.


    Jiang Yuning was in a much better mood now. He wrote her another note Well have steak in Paris.


    Nian Xiughed. You dont eat meat, do you?


    Jiang Yuning wrote You eat steak, I eat vegetable sd.


    Nian Xi watched him writing word by word, and that made her feel very annoyed. She took away his notepad and said, Do you know how to make me like you more? Talk to me, instead of writing.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her with a deep frown, as if he had fallen into some kind of difficulty.


    Our mouths are for talking, right? Nian Xi tried to persuade him. If talking is exhausting, will kissing be exhausting too? Youll have a girlfriend someday, and youll kiss her. Kissing requires you to move your mouth too. Or, are you gonna simply press your lips against her without moving your lips and tongue?


    Jiang Yuning eyes popped with a confused look, as if he had just walked into a new world.


    He attempted to grab the notepad but failed. With no other choice, he said, Why move my tongue when kissing?


    Nian Xi silently clicked her tongue. Hes so innocent, she thought.


    Of course you need to move your tongue, or you wont have any feelings. Do you understand? Nian Xi exined patiently.


    Jiang Yuning was even more confused. What feelings? He asked.


    Nian Xi opened her mouth and said, Well I cant describe it withnguage. You can try it with a woman someday, and then youll know.


    Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, nodded and said, Are you a woman?


    Sure


    Can I try it with you? Jiang Yuning blinked, then looked at her with an innocent curious face.


    Nian Xi really didnt know how to respond.


    Hah! Fang Qi who sat ahead of him couldnt help but burst inughter.


    He stood up, turned to Nian Xi andughed. Nian Xi, can you not talk about dirty topics like that with him? Youre really an open-minded girl.


    Do not eavesdrop on our conversation. Nian Xi gave him a re, her face slightly reddened.


    Fang Qi ignored her and turned to Jiang Yuning saying, Im telling you. You need to try it. Really. Youll be overwhelmed with joy. Itll be fantastic


    Nian Xi shivered and said, Youre making a romantic thing sound disgusting. Sit down. The ne is taking off.


    Try it, Fang Qi repeated it again, and then sat back into his seat.


    Nian Yuning turned back to Nian Xi with a confused look.


    Nian Xi worried that he might say something shocking, so she hurriedly told him, You can only kiss your girlfriend. I am only your friend.


    Jiang Yuning stayed silent, lowered his head, then fell into deep thought.


    Not long after the ne took off, Jiang Yuning became so sleepy that he couldnt keep his eyes open.


    Didnt you sleepst night? Nian Xi asked.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, staring at the notepad in her hand.


    He didnt want to talk. He wanted to write.


    Answer my question by talking, or dont answer it at all. Nian Xi refused to give him the note pad.


    He gave her a nce with discontent, but then said with a low voice, I missed you. I was upset. I couldnt sleep.


    Nian Xi was delighted, as he finally talked. Get some sleep then. I wont bother you.


    Jiang Yuning nodded and closed his eyes. Soon, he fell asleep.


    Nian Xi asked a flight attendant for a nket, and then covered Jiang Yuning with it.


    The sunlight poured onto his face through the window. His skin was tender and snow-white; his eyshes were thick and long, like a pair of tiny hand fans.


    Nian Xi wanted so badly to pinch his cheeks. He looked so adorable and peaceful in sleep.

 Chapter 877. He Was Such an Adorable Man

    Chapter 877. He Was Such an Adorable Man


    After an hour on the ne, the air stewardess came over with the food trolley. The in-flight meal in the first-ss cabin was scrumptious.


    Nian Xi tried to wake Jiang Yuning up. He was still groggy, and when he rubbed his eyes open, he looked so cute that Nian Xi wanted to reach over to touch his head.


    But she resisted.


    The air stewardess couldnt hold it in. She was staring nkly at Jiang Yuning and had forgotten to serve Nian Xi her food.


    Can I have the steak please? Nian Xi reached out.


    Ok. The stewardess nodded her head and handed over the steak to Jiang Yuning. Nian Xis hands froze in midair. What a superficial world they lived in.


    Im sorry, he doesnt like beef. Nian Xi said through gritted teeth. Hell just have some in white rice.


    Ill have the beef, Jiang Yuning said.


    I thought you didnt like meat? Nian Xi was confused.


    Jiang Yuning took the meal and ced it in front of Nian Xi.


    For me? Nian Xi was touched.


    Although the stewardess ignored her, her travelpanion didnt.


    The air stewardess looked at her enviously and took another set of the beef and gave it to Jiang Yuning. He ced it in front of Nian Xi again.


    She smiled and said, One is enough for me. You can have it.


    You can have mine too you like it, right? Jiang Yuning answered seriously.


    Thank you. Nian Xis heart melted; he was such an adorable man. She was a fool for thinking that he was bothersome.


    She handed the steak back to the air stewardess anyway. Can I have a portion of rice?


    The air stewardess watched their interaction enviously and quickly served a portion of rice.


    Nian Xi ced it in front of Jiang Yuning and said, I cant stuff myself with steak. Im still looking forward to your treat in Paris.


    Jiang Yuning happily nodded. The air stewardess quickly set down the rest of their meal. There was a fruit sd, cake, wine, and salmon.


    Jiang Yuning only ate the fruit sd and the rice. Nian Xi had to eat both of their portions; she was stuffed with food. Nian Xi wished that Luosang was around. It would be an easy feat for her.


    After lunch, Jiang Yuning quickly fell asleep again. Nian Xi couldnt sleep, so she started watching 007 on the in-flight screen. Before long, James Bond was rolling in the sheets with another female actress. It was a hot scene; Bond was charismatic and the Bond girl had a sexy body.


    Just as Nian Xi was absorbed in the movie drinking her wine, she felt Jiang Yuning move beside her. She turned and saw him staring at her screen as well.


    Nian Xi nearly spat out her wine, When did you wake up?


    When he removed her dress, Jiang Yuning said. So they moved their tongues when they kissed.


    I understand now. Kissing induces a biological response in people. Jiang Yuning lowered his head thoughtfully. I get that kind of reaction sometimes when Im not kissing.


    Why was he telling her that?


    She wasnt a man.


    Um if you dont mind me asking, how do you usually solve your problem? Nian Xi couldnt help but ask.


    Jiang Yuning blinked and said, I hold it in.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    Um, Im going to sleep for a while. Im feeling really sleepy now. Nian Xi quickly turned off her screen and pretended to close her eyes. After a while, she turned to face Jiang Yuning and peeped at him and said, Actually, you can use your hand to take care of it. Its not good to hold it in.

 Chapter 878. I Want to Be in the Same Room with You

    Chapter 878. I Want to Be in the Same Room with You


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, lowered his head and asked, My own hands?


    Nian Xi didnt respond but thought, Can it possibly be anyone elses hands?


    She pictured that scene, and then found it extremely uneptable. Even her cheeks turned red. Yeah, your own hands. No one else should touch that part of your body.


    But you touched it, said Jiang Yuning with a grievance. You even grabbed it.


    Nian Xi really wanted to bite off her tongue. That was an ident. Just write. I found that youre good at writing.


    He could really be troublesome if he got used to talking. She didnt dare talk to him again.


    The flightsted for over ten hours and Nian Xi slept for about five. The ne finallynded at Charles De Gaulle Airport in the afternoon. The organizer of the conference picked them up and drove them to the hotel.


    For Jiang Yunings safety, they would all live in arge suite, which had two stories.


    Zhan Hong and the others would live on the first floor, while Nian Xi, Xu Gang and Jiang Yuning on the second floor. Xu Gang would sleep in the same room with Jiang Yuning, in case of an emergency at night.


    However, when he followed Jiang Yuning into his room, thetter stopped him, then pointed at Nian Xi who was walking into the room across the hall.


    Xu Gang smiled and said, Mr. Jiang, Miss Nian is a girl after all. Its not appropriate for her to share a room with you. Also, have you forgotten that its always me who sleeps in the same room as you?


    You cant forget about me once you meet a pretty girl, he thought.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, then walked out, dragging Nian Xi by her arm. He then pushed her suitcase into his room.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    Xu Gang found it both annoying and funny. Mr. Jiang, has Miss. Nian agreed yet?


    Nian Xi nodded. Finally, someone asked about her feelings. Yeah, youre a guy and Im a girl. Besides, Mr. Xu is a better fighter than I am, and he has worked with you for a long time.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head, took out his notepad again and wrote He snores. Hes noisy.


    Xu Gangs heart broke.


    Jiang Yuning kept writing, Like a motorcycle, rumbling


    Enough, stop writing. I know that youre a good writer. Ill be in next door. Officer Nian, Ill leave him to you. Xu Gang turned and left with his suitcase.


    Nian Xi didnt know how to handle the situation. Uh, I snore too. Like thunder, she said.


    Jiang Yuning paused, and then wrote You should sleep in my room then. Dont disturb the others.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. Sometimes she suspected that he was just ying dumb. But, Ill be disturbing you. Youre attending the International Physics Conference soon. You need to rest well and be focused.


    Jiang Yuning abruptly pressed his lips together and gave a naughty smile, then wrote In fact, I can sleep when people are snoring. I just want to be in the same room with you.


    Nian Xi found herself having dirty thoughts. She wanted to stay pure-minded, yet she couldnt.


    Why? She asked.


    Because youre my friend, Jiang Yuning wrote.


    Nian Xi sighed with relief, then said, But Xu Gang is your friend too.


    Jiang Yuning knitted his brows and started thinking. Atst, he wrote Youre prettier than him.


    Alright. That could be the answer to all questions.


    The world was ruled by pretty people.


    Zhan Hong walked over, patted Nian Xi on the shoulder and said, Just listen to Mr. Jiang. Dont sleep too deep at night. Also, unpack your things as quickly as possible, then check this entire ce. See if theres any hidden cameras or anything like that. Were in someone elses ce after all.


    Nian Xi nodded. There was only one bed in the room, so she made herself a bed on the floor.

 Chapter 879. Lets Sleep on the Floor Together Then

    Chapter 879. Let''s Sleep on the Floor Together Then


    After she arranged the mattress on the floor, Jiang Yuning walked over and sat on it with his pillow in hand.


    What are you doing? Nian Xi was perplexed.


    Jiang Yuning wrote, I cant let a girl sleep on the floor.


    Nian Xi feltforted. He was finally acting like a man. Thanks but Im supposed to protect you. I cant sleep on your bed. You can have it.


    Jiang Yuning blinked and wrote, Lets sleep on the floor together then.


    He quickly stood up to roll up the bedsheets on the bed.


    Nian Xi blocked his way. Why would you sleep on the floor if theres a bed around? Sleep on it. Im leaving the room if you dont listen to me.


    She had to give it to the guy. It was just like sleeping together if they both slept on the floor.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her grumpily, and then finally stopped when she looked at him firmly. Nian Xi quickly inspected the room and found a small microphone installed behind the television.


    Zhan Hong reported the matter to the manager of the hotel and the management insisted they had nothing to do with it. They imed it might have been put there by a previous guest and they wouldpensate them for their hotel stay over the next few days to express their apology. If they were unsatisfied with the arrangement, the manager said they could find another amodation.


    When the manager left the room, Fang Qi said angrily, Those bunch of westerners are just patronizing us. We can spill this news and expose them on mainstream media!


    No. Zhan Hong shook his head. We cant afford this to go public and expose Mr. Jiangs identity. His research may be in danger. Just forget it. Lets justpromise with this. If we switch hotels, we would have to re-strategize again. Lizhi has already checked in at the opposite hotel as our undercover agent; we cant change our ns now.


    All right. Good thing the microphone is removed now. We should still be careful about talking in the hotel. Fang Qi nodded his head.


    No matter what, this shows that someone has shown interest in Mr. Jiang; we need to be careful now. Zhan Hong frowned. Lets hope that everything goes smoothly as nned.


    No way. Our country isnt the same as it was fifty years ago. They wont act impudently, Nian Xi said.


    It was about 8 oclock in Paris, and the wee hours in the morning in China.


    Everyone was asleep when Nian Xi climbed upstairs to rest early. When she reached the staircasending, Fang Qi smirked. Hey, Nian. Hold it in tonight. Dont talk about kissing with a grown man. Its dangerous.


    Nian Xi nearly tripped over her own foot.


    Zhan Hong added saying, I dont oppose to you dating while working, but you shouldnt tire Mr. Jiang out. He will be giving a speech at the grand conference. Dont affect his mental state tomorrow.


    What do you take me for? Nian Xi said through gritted teeth.


    Zhan Hong looked at her with confusion. You even told him not to hold it in. What can I say?


    Nian Xi,


    Im going up first. Nian Xi slipped up the stairs quickly.


    She didnt expect them to hear her conversation so clearly. She should have known better since they were police officers. Of course they had sharp senses.


    The door to the master bedroom wasnt locked and it was empty. There was the sound of water running in the bathroom. Through the frosted ss, she could see a figure in there. Nian Xi looked at the figure; he seemed to be scrubbing his body


    She quickly looked away and jumped into bed before the man came out.

 Chapter 880. Did She Just Fall on Jiang Yunings Hip?

    Chapter 880. Did She Just Fall on Jiang Yuning''s Hip?


    As she was falling asleep, someone opened the door and walked in.


    She could barely open her eyes until she heard footsteps by her side. She felt someone gently lift her nket.


    As a police officer, she was always vignt. Her vignce made her open her eyes to look at who was near.


    Jiang Yuning was squatting beside her, in a sky-blue pajama set. He had just taken a shower. His skin was slightly pink, and his moist hair was sticking to his cheeks. His nose was shaped perfectly, looking like an art piece made from jade.


    He raised both hands. One hand was holding a corner of her nket; his face wore a careful look.


    When she opened her eyes to look at him, he didnt know what to do. He was like a panicked child.


    What are you doing? Nian Xi immediately sat up. She was fully awake.


    She didnt think about anything else at the moment, so as a result, her bra that was under the nket, fell out.


    The light green bra fell on the white sheet. It was very eye-catching.


    Jiang Yuning picked it up and stared at it with confusion.


    Nian Xi paused briefly, then realized what happened. Despite the fact that she was a thick-skinned person, her cheeks burned. She took the bra away from his hands, then red at him and said, Why are you touching my things!


    Jiang Yuning stayed silent but fixed his eyes on her chest.


    The summer pajamas were sky blue and thin. She had nothing else on underneath. Her pink nipples were indistinctly visible.


    Jiang Yuning suddenly felt thirsty. He recalled when he was little, his mother once bought him a cup of double skim milk before he went to school. The milk had some delicious red beans in it that tasted sweet.


    As he suddenly fell into silence, Nian Xi followed his eyes and lowered her head.


    She figured out what he was looking at, and then nearly exploded.


    You rascal! Im not staying in the same room with you! With both shame and anger, Nian Xi covered her chest with the nket, prepared to get up and leave.


    Jiang Yuning automatically grasped her nket. Nian Xi used quite a bit of strength to get up from the ground. At that moment, she lost her bnce and fell toward the wooden floor.


    Be careful!


    Jiang Yuning was sitting on the ground, so it was impossible for him to stand up and catch her. He instinctivelyid down on the floor.


    Nian Xi saw his hip before falling to the ground.


    She couldnt control herself; her face smashed straight on his body.


    Eh Jiang Yuning couldnt help but moan in pain.


    His hip hurt so much.


    One of her arms fell on his waist, which gave him a pain in his waist too.


    The room turned upside down in Nian Xis eyes. Thank god, my face doesnt hurt, she thought. This thing under me is soft.


    She raised her head with difficulty, then saw Jiang Yunings hip.


    She didnt say anything. Did she just fall on Jiang Yunings hip?


    Xu Gang who was staying in the room across the hall passed by their room after a shower. The scene in the room shocked him so much that he even dropped the toothbrush cup in his hand.


    Damn, this is hot! And this is only the first day! No wonder Jiang Yuning the freak likes her so much, he said to himself.


    Nian Xis brain wasnt working at that moment.


    Eh she tried to say something.


    I didnt see anything. My eyes are hurting. Im going to sleep. Xu Gang quickly shut his door.


    What he just saw was way too shocking. He couldnt seem to be able to process it, even though he was a very tough man.


    Nian Xi wanted to cry. She was never so embarrassed in her whole life.


    She sat up. Her mind waspletely nk. She couldnt help but p Jiang Yunings hip twice saying, Did you do that on purpose? I thought youre innocent, but it turns out that youre a wolf in sheeps clothing! Ive never met a dirty man like you.


    Jiang Yunings body twitched slightly because of the pain. He felt wronged and unhappy. I didnt. I didnt want you to get hurt, so Iy underneath you. You fell on me. It hurts.

 Chapter 881. You Have a Big Face

    Chapter 881. You Have a Big Face


    Nian Xi felt embarrassed.


    There was no way she was going to admit to anything.


    You cant me me. You were going to take advantage of me while I was asleep. Nian Xi was frustrated. I only agreed to stay because I trust your character. But I didnt think you would what were you doing pulling open my nket? Were you nning to sneak into the same bed, or were you trying to sneak a peek of my body?


    No


    Jiang Yuning looked hurt. I thought you were asleep. I was going to carry you to the bed.


    Nian Xi was silent. She might have misunderstood him.


    Thats a perfect excuse.


    She would never admit that she misjudged him. She had to find a way to exin herself. Dont you know that you are not supposed to lift adys nket. Its considered an outrage of modesty.


    Jiang Yuning opened his mouth. He looked like he didnt know what to say.


    Forget it. I wont me it on you for what happened tonight. Go to bed. Nian Xi quickly covered herself andid down. She realized that he was still lying there, not moving at all, taking up a lot of space. When are you going to move? Get up quickly.


    It hurts, Jiang Yuning said softly.


    Where does it hurt? Nian Xi was a little nervous. He was of a different importance after all. He was going to represent the country at the International Physics Conference. If he was hurt, she would be the sinner of the country.


    My ass hurts, Jiang Yuning said. You have a big face.


    Nothing hurt more than being called a big face.


    Nian Xi chuckled. Im not evenining about your smelly ass.


    Its not. Jiang Yuning was nervous. I just showered.


    Smelly, extremely smelly. Nian Xi pretended she was about to throw up.


    Immediately, Jiang Yuning blushed a bright red.


    He quickly climbed to his feet and walked into the bathroom quietly. The sound of running water could be heard from the room.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Was he taking another shower just because she said that he was smelly?


    She couldnt be bothered to engage him. Sheid back down, but after ten minutes, he was still in the bathroom. She started to worry and walked over to knock on the door. Youve been there a long while. Come out now.


    No. You said I was smelly.


    His muffled voice echoed across the door.


    Its not smelly. I was lying to you. Nian Xi found it funny.


    I dont believe you.


    Im a pig if I lie to you. Nian Xi said, swearing.


    The shower head was turned off. Nian Xi walked back to her bed and Jiang Yuning quickly walked out. He walked over to her bed, his face damp. Do you want to smell


    Smell your ass? Nian Xi frowned.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head.


    Nian Xi couldnt take it anymore and she extended her leg to kick him. Stop bothering me and go to bed. Im exhausted.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her dainty foot and then looked at his own. He quickly removed his slipper and stered his foot against hers.


    After the shower, his foot was warm and when they made contact, it was fiery hot. The warmth spread through her entire body.


    What do you want? Nian Xi quickly retracted her foot.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head andughed. He then quickly stood up and walked to his own bed. He shifted to the edge of the bed, getting closer to Nian Xi and turned to look at her from above.


    Dont step on me during the night. Go to sleep and turn off the light, Nian Xi said. She wasnt leaving her nket anymore.


    Jiang Yuning turned off the lights and Nian Xi quickly fell asleep.

 Chapter 882. Nian Xi Had a Man by Her Side When Shes Sleeping

    Chapter 882. Nian Xi Had a Man by Her Side When She''s Sleeping


    He couldnt sleep. Looking at the girl on the ground, he felt magical. A girl was in his room, and the room was suffused with a nice aroma.


    It was smelled so good, even better than the best sandalwood.


    The ce was new, so he didnt sleep well. He also kept waking up; it was a long night for him.


    Finally, dawn came.


    Nian Xis phone which was beside her feet started to buzz.


    Jiang Yuning didnt want the phone call to wake her up, so he hurriedly got up from the bed. To stop the phone buzzing, he quickly pressed the green button on the screen.


    He didnt put it on speaker, but still heard a voice from the phone.


    He walked to the balcony with the phone.


    Hello, can you hear me? Why dont you speak? Is the signal bad


    Jiang Yuning nced at the name on the screen, The brother found on the street.


    It turns out that her brother was found on the street, he thought.


    Jiang Yuning put the phone near his ear, and said an awkward, Hello.


    Sitting in his office, Nian Junting nced at the screen of his phone. It was Nian Xis number.


    Who are you? Why do you have Nian Xis phone? Nian Junting sounded very angry.


    Shes sleeping. Jiang Yuning lowered his voice and said, Please do not disturb her.


    Why on earth was she with a man when she was sleeping?


    Nian Junting quickly stood up. He instantly felt as if someone had damaged the cabbage that he had nted. He burst into a rage and wanted to smash the mans face. Wheres Nian Xi? Tell her to get up. I need to talk to her.


    Shes sleeping. Dont disturb her, Jiang Yuning repeated.


    This guy is so annoying. Does he have a problem with his brain? Didnt I make it clear enough? Nian Junting thought. This is why I dont like talking to people.


    Who are you? He asked through clenched teeth.


    Its a secret.


    Nian Junting buried his forehead in his hand. He felt that he was talking to a crazy guy.


    Youre not Jiang Yuning, are you?


    Yeah.


    I knew it was you! Nian Junting said with anger. I could tell that you werent a good person thest time I saw you. Arent you mute?


    Im not, Jiang Yuning responded with discontent.


    This guy is so impolite. How could he say that Im mute? No wonder Nian Xi said that hes from the street. He thought.


    Im done talking to you. If you want to talk to me, text me, Jiang Yuning said reluctantly. That guy was Nian Xis family. For Nian Xis sake, he respected her family. Otherwise, he wouldnt say a word to Nian Junting.


    Im not gonna text you. Nian Junting was so angry that he evenughed.


    Youre not my wife, he thought. What a sick boy.


    Um, bye. Jiang Yuning ended the call.


    Oi, hello? Nian Junting yelled into the phone. He then realized that Jiang Yuning had hung up on him.


    Good boy. He hung up on me before he married my sister. It would be a disaster if he got married to her. Thats not gonna happen. I will not let him be a part of this family, he said to himself.


    Jiang Yuning sneakily returned to the room with the phone. Once he gently put down the phone, Nian Xi made a turn, raised a leg and put it upon the nket.


    Jiang Yuning was a little stunned. He looked at her leg. Her pajama pants were rolled up to her thighs. Her leg wasnt fat, but was long, straight, slim, and was milky white.


    He wanted to touch her leg.


    Hurriedly, he got rid of the idea and turned his eyes away, but soonter, he couldnt help but turn back to her.


    Nian Xi drowsily opened her eyes and saw a person squatting before her, staring.


    What time is it? She sat up, rubbing her eyes.

 Chapter 883. Your Legs Are Fairer Than Your Face

    Chapter 883. Your Legs Are Fairer Than Your Face


    I dont know. Jiang Yunings eyes were shimmering.


    Nian Xi followed his gaze, and when she finally saw what he was looking at, she quickly retracted her legs back into the nket.


    She red at Jiang Yuning. Youre peeking at me again.


    Im sorry. Jiang Yuning lowered his head earnestly. I think your legs are fairer than your face.


    What a thing to hear first thing in the morning?


    She knew that she wasnt fair. Was there a problem with that? Did he have to point it out? He was teasing her now.


    Yes. All police officers have to be under the sun most of the time. Of course, Im tan. My legs are fairer because Im wearing the uniform. Nian Xi was frustrated, Stop looking at my legs. Its an ungentlemanly to do so.


    Jiang Yuning paused to think for a moment before lifting the hem of his pants. He looked at Nian Xi seductively.


    Nian Xi blinked.


    Jiang Yuning exined. You can look at mine.


    Nian Xi looked at his fair legs and she felt self-conscious, but she wouldnt admit it. Whats so nice about your legs? Theyre so hairy it makes me ufortable.


    Nian Xi grunted and red at him. Turn away. Im going to put on my bra.


    Jiang Yuning turned and walked out of the room. By the time Nian Xi washed up and got dressed, Zhan Hong and the rest were awake too.


    The hotel had sent breakfast over.


    After breakfast, Jiang Yuning handed over a note to the men. It read, Please roll up your pants.


    Zhan Hong and the rest thought that it was part of his research so they quickly did as they were told.


    Jiang Yuning smiled when he saw their legs and pulled Nian Xi over. When Nian Xi frowned, he handed her another note. They have more hair than me. You shouldnt say that my legs arent nice.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    Whats the matter? Zhan Hong walked over and saw the note, then he felt a little offended. Mr. Jiang, thats not a nice thing to say.


    Jiang Yuning grinned before writing, Too bad you have so much leg hair.


    How was he so good at insulting others?


    The International Physics Conference was happening on Thursday.


    On the first day in Paris, the research academy had invited all researchers to the Paris Science and Technology Fair.


    They rode in an RV van to the fair. Uncle Han said, There will be lots of inventions designed by the young talents in Europe at the fair. Most of the gadgets will not be avable to the market yet. Its an opportunity for them to showcase their most advanced technological inventions.


    Whats the big deal about that? I think Mr. Jiang trumps them in many areas, Fang Qi said indignantly while looking at Jiang Yuning. What do you say, Mr. Jiang?


    Jiang Yuning didnt answer. He was staring out of the car window in a daze.


    Mr. Jiang, did you hear me? Fang Qi prodded him again.


    Jiang Yuning was still in a trance. Nian Xi had to grab a hold of his attention and she repeated Fang Qis question.


    Oh, I dont know. There are always more capable and intelligent people out there, Jiang Yuning said distractedly.


    You cant say that, Nian Xi said agitatedly. We need to show them how impressive Chinas scientists are.


    Hmm, lets maintain a low profile. Jiang Yuning nodded his head.

 Chapter 884. Hold Hands

    Chapter 884. Hold Hands


    Lay low? Cant you understand a word I said? Nian Xi took a deep breath, then said, Wey low whenever we should, but in terms of great honor, we need to show them the strength of our powerful country.


    Jiang Yuning blinked and nodded.


    Looking at his calm face, Nian Xi suddenly felt frustrated. She had talked so much, yet Jiang Yunings passion wasnt aroused at all.


    At half-past ten, they arrived at the Science & Technology Museum. The museum had a long history and many tourists were there when they arrived.


    Zhan Hong said to Nian Xi, Its inappropriate for us to follow behind Mr. Jiang. I noticed the other scientists arent open with bodyguards. Later, you stay with Mr. Jiang. Tell the others that youre his girlfriend. The rest of us will enter the museum as tourists. I know this ce has strict security measures. It should be fine, just be careful. Well be right by you.


    Okay. Nian Xi nodded.


    Jiang Yuning, Uncle Han and Nian Xi passed the security and entered the museum without the others.


    Uncle Han abruptly stopped and said to her, Miss. Nian, since youre pretending to be Mr. Jiangs girlfriend, maybe you should hold hands. No offense, but you dont look like a couple at all.


    Nian Xi paused, while Jiang Yuning seemed to be confused. He had no idea how to pretend to be someones boyfriend.


    With no other choice, he looked at Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi worked in a police station before. Back in school, she had practiced how to pretend to be a couple with someone, but she never did it for a real mission.


    However, she was in a rtionship before, and she knew how to pretend.


    She reached out and held Jiang Yunings hand.


    Normally, she seemed to be a care-free girl. However, she rarely held hands with guys. She held Feng Ji Chuans hands before, but that didnt happen often. After all, Feng Ji Chan was always away from home, in the army. She had broken up with him for about half a month and had forgotten about how holding hands felt.


    Jiang Yunings hands werent as rough and warm as Feng Ji Chuans hands.


    His hands were slightly cold, and her fingers were slim. Jiang Yunings fingertips were slightly calloused.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but rubbed his calloused fingers with hers.


    Jiang Yunings entire hand went numb. He froze, and a stream of warmth spread all over his body and to his earlobes.


    He wanted to write, but she was holding his hand. Her hand was hot and soft.


    When she rubbed his fingers, he felt as if his body was on fire. Even walking became difficult for him.


    Dont touch me, he said in a low voice and looked at her shyly.


    Behind them, Uncle Han was very surprised.


    Nian Xi suddenly realized what she was doing. It was so embarrassing. However, she could not let anyone else know about her sneaky movements.


    In a serious voice, she said to him, I didnt touch you. I am just holding your hand. Boyfriends and girlfriends have to hold hands. You need to get used to this.


    Ah Jiang Yuning lowered his head.


    Seeing him, Nian Xi was a little frustrated. It was like she was taking advantage of him.


    Lets go. Nian Xi guided him into the museum.


    Walking into the museum, she sensed the beauty of history.


    Scientists from all over the world were in the lobby. Most of them were over forty years old, so Jiang Yuning caught peoples eye once he went in.


    Are you Mr. Jiang? I am Burnie. I am an attendant from the Paris Institute of Physics. A blonde middle-aged man walked over, smiling and speaking in English.

 Chapter 885. Yuning Is Very Innocent, He Is Very Adorable

    Chapter 885. Yuning Is Very Innocent, He Is Very Adorable


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head and shook his hand.


    Bonny waited a while but Jiang Yuning never said anything in reply.


    Uncle Han quickly exined in English saying, Mr. Jiang doesnt like to speak.


    Bonny was stunned for a while but decided that he had to interact with Mr. Jiang as if he was a mute.


    However, he wasnt surprised. Many of his fellow scientists liked to stay in theirboratories without much contact with the outside world. They slowly developed an anti-social personality.


    Of course, other physicists werent that good at science, but superb at socializing, rising in the ranks. He was one of those scientists.


    He wasnt displeased at the fact that Jiang Yuning was a mute; he would find an opportunityter on to humiliate him.


    This is Mr. Jiangs girlfriend, I presume? Bonny looked over at Nian Xi, his eyes lighting up. Nian Xi wasnt the typical girl-next-door Chinese girl. She almost looked handsome and appealed to the Westerners beauty standards.


    Before Nian Xi spoke, Jiang Yuning frowned and pulled her to stand behind him. Bonny was stunned andughed. Mr. Jiang. You are really protective over your girlfriend I see.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head.


    A few more researchers were entering the event hall and Bonny walked over to greet them. Jiang Yuning wasnt good at socializing. He was young and hardly been to these sorts of events before. Most of the other attendees were standing around in circles talking to each other but he was the only one standing alone.


    After about five minutes, a Chinese physicist approached him. He looked like he was over sixty years old and his hair was white. Yuning. I didnt expect you to be the one attending this time.


    Jiang Yuning bowed to the man respectfully. Professor Wang


    Professor Wang was stunned and he burst out into a light chuckle. Youre different now that you have a girlfriend. It was so difficult for you to speak a word in the past. You were always holding onto a notepad and a pen. Aiyo, that really gave me a headache. It made me afraid to talk to you.


    Nian Xi couldnt help butugh. She could imagine how he spoke before. Professor Wang, hello, I


    Miss Nian really changed Mr. Jiang in many ways. Uncle Han interrupted her saying, Only she could confiscate Mr. Jiangs little notepad and force him to talk.


    Impressive. Professor Wang gave her a thumbs up. I always thought this chap was going to stay single for the rest of his life. I didnt expect anyone to fall in love with him. Treasure him. Although Yuning doesnt talk much and is a little entric, he is a goodd.


    Nian Xi reacted quickly to Uncle Hans cue saying, I will. Yuning is very innocent and adorable.


    You know him well. Professor Wang smiled. Oh right, Yuning. I havent heard from you for two years. What have you been up to?


    Uncle Han said apologetically, Mr. Jiang was really burnt out from an experiment he was doing. He went back to his hometown to recuperate for about a year. He has been working at Xia City this year and he will be a visiting professor at the Xia Citys Technological Institute Department of Physics next year.


    Professor Wang was shocked. How can you be a lecturing professor if you dont enjoy talking?


    Jiang Yuning wrote on his notepad, Things will work out eventually.


    Nian Xi held herself back fromughing; this guy had goodnguage skills.


    All right then. Ille down to support you when the timees, Professor Wang said enthusiastically. He looked over at the group of Westerners gathered in a circle. These bunch of European bastards. They only know how to suck up to Christian from America. To be honest, our technology isnt far from the U.S now. Yuning, with your talent and gift in physics, you might even be better than Christian.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head and wrote, Christian is older than me by forty years. We should respect the elderly and dote on the young.

 Chapter 886. Ill Ask Her to Be My Girlfriend When We Get Back

    Chapter 886. I''ll Ask Her to Be My Girlfriend When We Get Back


    Nian Xi stayed silent.


    This guy can really say some shocking words, she thought.


    Professor Wang paused briefly, then hurriedly smiled and nodded. Youre right. Hes even older than me. Lets forgive him.


    Ladies and gentlemen, I see our guests have all arrived. Lets go in, Bernie said as he pped his hands.


    People walked further into the museum.


    Nian Xi was holding Jiang Yunings hand the whole time. She found that his cool hand was bing hotter and hotter, and his palm was moist.


    She raised their hands, wiped his palm with a tissue, thenined with a low voice, Why are you sweating so heavily?


    Im nervous, Jiang Yuning responded with an innocent voice.


    Whats to be nervous about? Nian Xiughed. I get it. Its your first time attending an international conference like this right? Its all right. You should learn from my brother. He shamelessly believes hes the best in the world.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, nced at her shyly, then lowered his head and said with an innocent face, This is my first time holding a girls hand.


    Nian Xi almost choked on her own saliva. But suddenly, she felt sorry for him.


    He was twenty-nine years old, yet he never held a girls hand before. She felt that he was even more miserable than her brother, who used to be an old virgin guy.


    Its all right. You can try to find yourself a girlfriend when you get back, Nian Xi whispered to him.


    Jiang Yuning nodded and fell into thought.


    Ill ask her to be my girlfriend when we get back, he thought.


    At that moment, Bernie who was walking before them said in a proud tone, Let me introduce to you Alic Number One, a robot created by Elvis, a Frenchpany; its for extreme environment testing. This robot is in the shape of a fish. It can not only do tests in underground sewage but is also able to undertake detecting the depth of ten thousand meters under the sea. It is made from the muscle tissue of deep-sea fishes, that allows it to withstand up to 1,000 atmospheres of pressure. Also, it can work underwater for twelve hours. It is even more durable than a tank.


    Some scientists nodded and praised the robot.


    Nian Xi didnt understand what Bernie said, as thetter was using French.


    She didnt speak French, so she looked around, and found that many scientists from Africa and Asia were with trantors.


    Professor Wangined with a low voice, These bastards are using French on purpose, arent they? They know that we only speak Chinese and English. They want us to be embarrassed.


    Mr. Jiang, what do you think about this robot? Bernie abruptly asked. Inparison with the ones that China created.


    Nian Xi got nervous. Uncle Han hadnt tranted all the French words yet, so she worried that Jiang Yuning might not be able to answer the question immediately.


    He was good at physics, but she assumed English was his limit ofnguage learning.


    What? Mr. Jiang, cant you even answer a simple question? Bernie said in French with a smile on his face.


    Jiang Yuning nced at the robot with a frown, then responded in French, Earlier this year, some Chinese scientists developed a robot type like this, but we didnt use the muscle tissues from deep-sea fishes. Instead, we made the robot with a new type ofposite material, which included Nano border theory and quantum technology. Our robot type costs less than yours. To make the robot with fish muscle tissues, we would need biologists on the team, and that would be a waste of money and human resources.


    Thats impossible. We never heard about that project in China. Bernie didnt believe him.

 Chapter 887. She Could Never Look at This Man the Same Way Again

    Chapter 887. She Could Never Look at This Man the Same Way Again


    Right. Weve managed to increase the density of the material to ten thousand below atmospheric pressure. Were nning to implement the fruits of our research by the end of the year. Feel free to contact us if you need the material in your country. Jiang Yuning had switched to English at the end of the speech and spoke to the entire group of physicists.


    Everyone was looking at him in disbelief. Suddenly, Christian from America walked over with a smile. Im curious to know, how did you guys manage to do it? We have nanotechnology and nuclear technology as well. Its not as simple as what you have described.


    I dont think your America has ever shared theirtest technology with us before, Jiang Yuning replied gently.


    He had replied to Christian in English and Nian Xi understood what he had just said. She gave him a thumbs up.


    Christians expression changed. Yes, we havent shared our breakthroughs, but have you forgotten the hundreds of thousands of Chinese students studying in the U.S.? Are they not learning from us?


    Are you not using the talent of our students to stimte the growth of your industries and your enterprises? Besides, you have hired many of our famous researchers. There are many Chinese scientists, directors, and investors in America, arent there? Most importantly, the foundation of America is formed based on immigration. America was once a British colony. Your peoplee from Ennd, Germany, and everywhere around the world.


    Jiang Yuning hadnt spoken so much in a long time that he took a deep breath after saying his piece.


    He took the cup Uncle Han was holding and uncapped it to take a big gulp. He was exhausted, but to prevent Christian from engaging him further, he decided to give him a lecture.


    As for scientific progress, we have built all of our own rockets and space shuttles. What has America ever done for us?


    Christians eyes widened, but he had nothing more to say.


    Good. Well said. Professor Wang was the first to apud.


    Although Nian Xi didnt understand what he had said before, she understood thest bit. She was thrilled and excited, and she started pping as well.


    She could never look at this man the same way again.


    Bernie could see that Christians expression was dark, and he quickly said, Lets go look at the next exhibit.


    Professor Wang smiled. Mr. Bernie, please dont use French here. Although we are in France, we are at an international conference. If youre going to switch between English and French, you might give the impression that youre not well-spoken in English. If youre not familiar with thenguage, the research center should rece you with someone else.


    Bernies face immediately had turned red. He replied saying, I will take note of what youve said, Professor Wang. I speak English well, its just that Im used to speaking in my nativenguage, and I often mix the two together.


    Dont make this kind of mistake during the World Physics Conference tomorrow, Professor Wang said seriously.


    Bernie had to swallow his anger. He wanted the exhibition to end and for the crowd to disperse as soon as possible.


    At noon, the exhibition ended.


    There were many African and Russian physicists surrounding Jiang Yuning. They were in a heated academic discussion about their fields of research.


    Nian Xi was standing in a corner and listening to their discussion. They were using jargon that she didnt understand. Jiang Yuning was like a different man standing in the center of the room; he wasnt like a pitiful puppy anymore. He was a respected professional. A man who was exuding a humble, charismatic glow.

 Chapter 888. Brother, How Can You Say that About Him?

    Chapter 888. Brother, How Can You Say that About Him?


    She couldnt even believe that she was friends with someone like that.


    Suddenly, she felt as if her puppy finally grew into a beautiful dog. She was so proud and delighted.


    Uncle Han quietly walked over to her and said smilingly, What do you think about Mr. Jiang?


    Impressive. Nian Xi had to admit that she used to doubt Jiang Yuning because of his weird character. But now, those doubts had gone.


    Uncle Han sighed. Sadly, Mr. Jiang does not have a girlfriend who understands him.


    Thats all right. Ill find him a good one when we get back, said Nian Xi honestly. Ill ask my mom. Shes very resourceful.


    Uncle Han sighed.


    No wonder Miss Nian has been single. Its understandable, he thought.


    As the conversations between scientistssted until half-past one, Nian Xis legs went limp.


    Arent these crazy people hungry at all? She wondered.


    She nced at Uncle Han. He hurriedly reminded the people, We havent had lunch yet. Its about time. Well be here for a few days and we will have plenty of time to talk.


    Thats right. I cant believe we have already spent over an hour chatting. Professor Wang said looking at the time.


    Finally, people started leaving.


    The chauffeur drove the car over and Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi got in. You guys had a really long chat, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning smilingly nodded. Talking about physics seemed to make him happy.


    He then lowered his head and wrote Nian Xi a note. Im so tired. I cant talk anymore.


    Nian Xi stayed silent. Really? I thought you couldnt be tired, she thought.


    Rolling her eyes, she said, Get some sleep. I wont talk to you.


    As they returned to the hotel, lunch was served. Jiang Yuning had a little food, then went back to his room to rest.


    Nian Xi, Zhan Hong, and the others talked about what happened that morning; they were all full of passion.


    Fang Qi said to Nian Xi with excitement, Make some efforts and get Mr. Jiang. Youll bring glory on your ancestors by making a scientist like him a member of your family.


    Zhan Hong frowned and said, I think that wont be right. Mr. Jiangs parents are both scientists, so he is a genius. Genes are very important. I think we should let their good genes continue, instead of letting Nian Xi ruin the hope of that.


    Captain Zhan Nian Xi red at him, and responded through clenched teeth, Whats wrong about my genes? My father serves in the army, and my mother is good at business


    Inparison with the gene of scientists, I think your business gene is just too worldly, said Zhan Hong.


    Nian Xi stayed silent, wondering how on earth did she have colleagues like him.


    Bye. Nian Xi turned around grumpily.


    As she prepared to go and take a nap, she received a phone call from Nian Junting.


    What? she said.


    What do you think? Nian Junting sneered. If I didnt call you this morning, I wouldnt know that you are sleeping together with that guy.


    What are you talking about? Nian Xi was confused. Did you call me this morning?


    Jiang Yuning answered the call. He even told me not to disturb you, said Nian Junting with a cold voice. That boy is not good


    Brother, how can you say that about him?


    Before, Nian Xi wouldnt feel ufortable when she heard that, but after seeing how Jiang Yuning won honor for the country, she had a much better impression of him. He is a scientist, she said. Hes nothing like you and other shallow businessmen.

 Chapter 889. Burying His Head Into the Duvet

    Chapter 889. Burying His Head Into the Duvet


    Nian Junting thought that he had heard her wrong.


    How could you call me uncultured? He was in disbelief. When we listed thepany, who was the one who called me a wise? Who was the one whoplimented me on my sharp acumen?


    I hadnt seen the world back then, Nian Xi said unceremoniously. When you leave your country and really see the world, your horizon will broaden. I find that businessmen like you are too boring. All you talk about is money and interests.


    Nian Junting was furious and he chuckled sarcastically. All right. You should go look for Jiang Yuning then, if he is interesting enough for you. But Im warning you, the whole family disapproves and I will never ept him. Im also warning you; dont you dare sleep in the same room as him again


    I was working and I was sleeping on the floor. Nothing was going on between us.


    There were other guys with you, werent there? Why couldnt they protect him at night? Nian Junting was skeptical. I was seduced by your sister-inw back when we were sleeping in the same room. She really captured my heart and soul back then.


    All right. Im going to take an afternoon nap. Goodbye.


    Nian Junting was frustrated when Nian Xi hung up on him.


    He quickly said to Luosang, who was reading a book beside him, I think I underestimated that little mute, Jiang Yuning. Hepletely brainwashed Nian Xi after just a day over there. She called me an uncultured businessman! Ridiculous.


    Luosang looked up from her book and pondered for a moment. Hmm. Now that you mention it, you are a little uncultured. After all, money is a material good. Let it go, wont you?


    Women these days. They treat money like treasure when they dont have it, but they despise it once theyve had enough of it.


    Nian Xi snuck into the master bedroom quietly.


    Jiang Yuning was already asleep; he was probably tired out from the day. He was in a deep slumber and she could see his chest rise and fall with each breath.


    Nian Xi snuck into the duvet and fell asleep within minutes. She never had a problem taking afternoon naps and Zhan Hong was still downstairs with the rest. This gave her the peace of mind to rest properly. She slept until it was dark outside.


    She turned groggily in her bed, then suddenly came into contact with a soft and warm body. She put her leg over and hugged it close to herself. She only realized that something was not quite right after a while. She opened her eyes and saw a pair of pink lips and a sculptured nose in front of her. She could also make out his long eyshes.


    His eyes were closed and he appeared to be in deep sleep. He wasnt awakened by her movement and he drew in closer to her with a contented expression on his face.


    Nian Xi was in a daze for a few seconds before she shouted abruptly and jolted up. Jiang Yuning was finally awakened by her exmation and he sat up quickly. He rubbed his eyes groggily and asked, Whats wrong?


    I should be asking you that! Why are you sleeping beside me? Nian Xi didnt want to recall how she wrapped her legs around him earlier.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her with confusion beforeing to his senses and whispered, I wanted to wake you up for some steak but I couldnt bear to do so when you looked sofortable. I wanted to wait for you to wake up but I fell asleep while waiting. Lets go have steak, since youre up now.


    No. Nian Xi was too concerned to get angry. If youre not going out to events, you shouldnt go out at all. Its too messy out there. We cant afford for you to get hurt. Well all be sacked if something happens to you.


    Jiang Yuning was anxious. He promised to take her out for steak.


    Lets eat it in the suite then. We can all have steak tonight, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning frowned but he nodded his head as Nian Xi got up to order them dinner.


    Jiang Yuning nced at the indentation she left in the mattress. He could almost smell a waft of sweet scent, her scent. He drew in closer to where she had been lying and sniffed the linen before burying his head into the duvet.

 Chapter 890. He Wants to See Her Smile Every Single Day

    Chapter 890. He Wants to See Her Smile Every Single Day


    That night, Nian Xi ordered five steaks, different vors. When the steaks were served, Jiang Yuning came downstairs.


    The table was long, yet he sat right beside Nian Xi.


    I worried that you may not like steak, so I ordered spaghetti for you. Nian Xi gave him the only spaghetti on the table.


    Jiang Yuning looked at it and frowned.


    Dont you like it? Uncle Han said that you like it. Nian Xi was a little worried.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and wrote her a note. I was going to offer you my steak.


    Nian Xi read the note and smiled. For some reason, she felt warm.


    You gave me yours on the ne. As Ive said before, what I had was enough and Ive received your kindness.


    The steak wasnt well-done, so Nian Xi spent some effort cutting off a piece. Jiang Yuning spent a short while looking at her te, then quietly dragged her te to him.


    Oi, whatre you doing? Before Nian Xi finished talking, he took her knife and fork. He lowered his head and cut the steak into small pieces, quickly and neatly. He did it easily.


    Impressive, Nian Xi said praising him. Youre good at that.


    Jiang Yuning nodded, gave her a shy smile and said, I used to dissect animals for my father.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. Somehow, she lost her appetite.


    After he was finished cutting the steak, Jiang Yujing pushed the te back to Nian Xi. Nian Xi looked at Zhan Hong and Fang Qi who were still struggling with their steaks and said, Ah, its so nice having someone cut my steak for me. He made it so easy. Hmm, yummy.


    While chewing, she closed her eyes to focus on the food in her mouth. Her face made her colleagues jealous.


    Fang Qi snorted and said to Zhan Hong, Zhan, I guess its her first time having a man cut her steak. Its a bit pathetic though. Shes about twenty-six and unmarried. She doesnt even have a boyfriend.


    Nian Xis smile froze on her face. That was hurtful. Feng Ji Chuan never cut steak for her.


    When he came home for vacation, they mostly had meals together with their families. Sometimes, they went out to have special Chinese food in Xia City.


    Jiang Yuning wasnt looking at Nian Xis face. However, he believed every word Fang Qi said.


    He wrote her a note. Ill cut steaks for you every single day.


    Nian Xis hurt heart was slightly healed at that moment but she still felt a little sour, and bitter.


    Sitting in front of them, Fang Qi yelled, Mr. Jiang, I dont know how to cut my steak either. Can you please help me too?


    Jiang Yuning nced at him, shook his head and wrote, I dont know you well.


    Fang Qi didnt know what to say. Nian Xiughed happily and even made a face at him.


    You deserve this, she thought.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her confusedly. He didnt understand why she suddenly had burst into a smile. He paused briefly, feeling delighted, even though he didnt really know what was going on.


    He wanted to see her smile every day. She looked like a little fox when she smiled.


    At 9:00 p.m., Nian Xis phone rang before she went to sleep.


    Seeing the number on the screen, she paused. Her heart ached a little. Jiang Yuning walked over and pointed at her phone to remind her.


    Im not answering that. Nian Xi rejected the call.


    Jiang Yuning spent a while gazing at her with confusion, then went to bed.


    Two minutester, Nian Xi received a WeChat message from Feng Ji Chuan I just want to know how your trip is going in Paris.


    Nian Xi dropped the phone. Shey down for a while, then sat up again and picked up her phone.


    She wanted to reply to his message, but her sanity was telling her not to.


    She couldnt fall asleep; she tossed and turned. Abruptly, Jiang Yuning asked her in a deep voice, Whats wrong?

 Chapter 891. His Chest Felt Tighter and Tighter

    Chapter 891. His Chest Felt Tighter and Tighter


    Did I wake you up? Nian Xi felt apologetic.


    Jiang Yuning sat up from his bed and walked over to her and said, There is acute insomnia and there is chronic insomnia. Acute insomnia is further divided into psychobiological insomnia and episodic insomnia. There is maintenance insomnia


    All right, enough. Nian Xi knew when he was going to head into a lecture and interrupted him impatiently. Im having psychological insomnia; Im troubled over my rtionship.


    Jiang Yuning frowned, extended his graceful fingers and started counting. Rtionships can be ssified into family, friendship, romantic


    Romantic, Nian Xi said, interrupting him again.


    Jiang Yuning was silent.


    Nian Xi inhaled sharply. My ex-boyfriend just called and text me. Im feeling a little bothered.


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips and clutched his chest. His chest felt a little stuffy, like a heavy rock was crushing his heart. He felt breathless.


    He couldnt exin why.


    You wont understand love even if I tell you. Nian Xi thought he didnt know how to respond to her.


    Youve been in a rtionship before? Jiang Yuning whispered.


    She was troubled over her ex-boyfriend. His chest felt tighter and tighter.


    Yeah. Nian Xi nodded her head. The lights were off, so she couldnt see his difort. We were supposed to get marriedst year but it didnt happen. We broke up, but now were working at the same station; its bothersome.


    Jiang Yuning was very ufortable now. Will you get married?


    I dont think so. How can we just move past all that happened between us? Nian Xiid back down. She realized that Jiang Yuning was still sitting on the edge of the bed and she kicked him yfully. Go to bed now.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her tiny foot. She didnt use much force when she kicked him. His heart yearned for more contact. Instead of dodging, he scooted closer to her.


    What are you doing?


    He whispered, Its nice when you kick me.


    Was there something wrong with him?


    She recalled that she saw Luosang kick Nian Juntings ass or thighs tomand him to do something when she was at the Tianhu Vi.


    It was kind of awkward thinking about that. It seemed that she wasnt supposed to kick any man, because it was only for romantic couples.


    Um go to bed early. You have to attend the International Physics Conference tomorrow. You were terrific today. Keep up the good work tomorrow, Nian Xi said in a serious tone.


    Jiang Yuning was thrilled to hear herpliments. It was like the joy he felt when he scored his first hundred points.


    Heid back down but it was his turn to have insomnia.


    After Nian Xi confided in him, she was relieved, and quickly fell asleep.


    He was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he kept as still as possible. He used a few physics theories to try to put himself to sleep, but to no avail.


    His chest felt stuffy.


    At 6:30 a.m., Uncle Han was the first one to wake up. He was the oldest and had trouble getting over the jeg. In the bathroom, as he squeezed the toothpaste, he looked up and saw Jiang Yuning staring back at him in the mirror.


    His hands trembled in shock. Mister, what are you doing up so early?


    Jiang Yuning took out a post-it and wrote, I had insomnia.


    Uncle Han adjusted his spectacles. Except for when he was doing his research, it was rare for him to have insomnia.


    It must have been something serious.

 Chapter 892. I Want to Have A Baby with Her

    Chapter 892. I Want to Have A Baby with Her


    Mr. Jiang, are you feeling all right? Uncle Han was very nervous. Jiang Yuning still needed to attend the international conference, and there couldnt be an ident.


    No. Jiang Yuning lowered his head, put a hand on his chest and said, Here, notfortable. I feel annoyance.


    Uncle Han gave a start. I never heard about that before. Its not your heart, is it?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    Does it hurt? Uncle Han asked. Are you having difficulty breathing?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head again.


    Uncle Han felt troubled. Did you experience anything special before this condition started? Or, did it happen suddenly?


    Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, then wrote, I talked to Nian Xi.


    About what?


    Ex-boyfriend.


    Uncle Han stayed silent for a short while.


    He put a fist before his lips, coughed slightly, and then said with a bitter smile, Mr. Jiang, you are not ill. Youre jealous.


    Jiang Yuning blinked and wrote, Im not.


    Well you are jealous of Miss Nians ex-boyfriend, Uncle Han said helplessly. Serving a young man who had a terribly low EQ was not an easy thing to do. Imagine Miss Nian with her future boyfriend. She walks past you, holding a mans hand


    Jiang Yuning carefully pictured that and felt even more heavy-hearted than yesterday.


    He breathed deeply, then said with a dry voice, I cant even breathe.


    Uncle Han nodded saying, Yes, thats it. You like Miss Nian.


    Jiang Yuning wrote I know.


    You know nothing, thought Uncle Han.


    By like, he patiently exined to Jiang Yuning, I meant that you want to be with her, to kiss her, hug her, and sleep with her


    Jiang Yunings white face reddened, and his hand started shaking. He nodded quickly and then wrote tremblingly, Yes, I wanted to sleep on the ground with her when I saw her sleeping on the ground.


    Thats not what I meant. Uncle Han nced outside the bathroom, then lowered his voice and said, I meant two people when they em make children. You should know that.


    Jiang Yuning eyes popped.


    He surely knew about that. His father was a biologist. He clearly knew how every type of animal made babies.


    But, humans


    He pictured Nian Xi naked, then his cheeks turned even redder than before. Shyly but expectantly, he said, Yes, I want to have a baby with her.


    He was so excited that he wasnt even using his pen.


    Uncle Han was shocked, as Jiang Yuning was already thinking about having a baby.


    Mr. Nian, you cant have a baby with Miss Nian until you two are legally married.


    Then well get married. Jiang Yuning nodded. Soon afterward, he lowered his head and said, But, she hasnt forgotten about her ex-boyfriend. They work in the same police station. Will they be together every day?


    No. Uncle Hanforted him. They have broken up, meaning that there was a conflict between them, or, they werent the perfect match for each other, or, he didnt care about Miss Nian enough. So, you should take the opportunity to be nice to her in the uing couple of days. You need to let her know how good you are. Show her your personality and charm, you know? Today, at the international conference of physics, show her the best you can do. She will think that youre the most outstanding one. And, of course, you need to seduce her. Use your personality, charm and pretty face. Do you understand me?


    Seduce? Jiang Yuning pulled his cor together and felt shy.


    Uncle Han looked at him with satisfaction. Not even a man could resist a face like that, let alone a girl like Miss Nian, who was obviously still a virgin.

 Chapter 893. Im Shy, Could You Grab Them for Me?

    Chapter 893. I''m Shy, Could You Grab Them for Me?


    Go. Theres no need to worry over this. Uncle Hanforted him. The better you perform, the more unattractive Officer Nians ex-boyfriend will be.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head with hesitance as Uncle Han hurried him out of the bathroom. He walked to the master bedroom in a daze.


    Nian Xi was still sleeping.


    As he tiptoed his way back to the bed, Uncle Hans words were still on his mind. He couldnt fall asleep as an idea came to him. He quietly removed his pajamas, leaving only his underwear on.


    He looked at himself and felt embarrassed, but he uncovered himself and pretended to fall asleep.


    After about ten minutes, Nian Xi woke up andid in her bed for a moment before sitting up. When she turned to look at the bed, all her sleepiness was gone in a second.


    Jiang Yuning was naked with his back against her. From her angle, she could see his slender spine and perky buttocks.


    She didnt expect him to be so voluptuous; she had the urge to pinch him. His pale and smooth skin was even more delicate than her own. He was like a treasure, and she felt she should be ashamed of herself as a woman.


    Although his body wasnt buff and muscr, he was elegant and graceful. He induced the urge in her to protect him.


    Nian Xi was still examining him secretly; she had seen Feng Ji Chuan and Nian Juntings bodies before. Their bodies were battered with scars but his skin was a wless canvas.


    Suddenly, Jiang Yuning stirred from his stillness.


    Nian Xi quicklyid back down and pretended that she was still asleep. After a while, she opened her eyes and he turned to face her.


    Nian Xis heart was fluttering when she saw him again. The scene was too seductive. She had seen his back and now his front. She looked at his sexy chest and the area covered by his underwear. Her heart was beating faster. She remembered when she touched him previously; she remembered how it felt.


    Hmm. He was substantial in the front as well. He was like a sleeping beauty. At that moment, his longshes fluttered opened.


    Nian Xi quicklyid back down.


    Jiang Yuning rubbed his eyes and sat up before Nian Xi did. Nian Xi feigned surprise saying, Where are your clothes? Why did you strip naked? How shameless of you.


    She quickly covered her eyes and turned away.


    Jiang Yuning was scratching his head, confused. Impossible! He was sure that she had been awake earlier. Did she not see his body? He got up, walked to her and squatted down. Im not shameless, he said pitifully.


    Nian Xi opened her eyes, and when she saw the delicate creature before her, her heart was beating even faster. When he squatted down, it made his particr area even more sexy and prominent.


    She turned and threw her nket over him. You are shameless. Youre walking around naked in front of me. You should be careful and have clear boundaries with women, you know? This is very rude of you.


    I Im not. Jiang Yuning was traumatized that she called him rude. I dont know why my clothes are off. I must have thought it was too warmst night.


    Was it? Nian Xi frowned. I didnt think so. The air-conditioning is on. In fact, I felt it was a little too cold.


    She reached out and touched his exposed arm. It was very smooth.


    Your arm is so chilly.


    Jiang Yuning blinked quickly. He was flustered and he didnt want to be exposed. Now that you mention it I do feel a little cold now.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Go put on some clothes.


    He was curled up in a nket and blinked innocently; his cheeks were blushing. Im shy, could you grab them for me?

 Chapter 894. The Puppy Wants a Girlfriend

    Chapter 894. The Puppy Wants a Girlfriend


    Nian Xi paused briefly.


    If another man said that to her, she would want to punch him in the face.


    However, as those words escaped his lips, her heart skipped a beat.


    She took the clothes and handed them to him. He immediately turned around and put them on.


    After getting dressed, he turned back and asked her with a low voice, What do you think about my body? I want a girlfriend, and Im worried that she may not like my body.


    Nian Xi was stunned, then felt slightly sad. Even the puppy wanted a girlfriend.


    She was still single. She felt as if her puppy was going to abandon her.


    Youre too skinny. You have no muscles, Nian Xi snorted and said. Women like strong men. Strong men make them feel safe.


    Jiang Yuning looked at his own body and argued, The sense of security cannot be given by a good body. Believe it or not, I am able to defeat five muscr men with my technology within two seconds.


    Nian Xi nodded and said, I believe it. I know that you have many great inventions. But think about why there are so many stars who have perfect bodies. Thats the current aesthetical standard.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head silently. He was so disappointed and frustrated.


    Nian Xi instantly felt a little guilty. He only wanted a girlfriend. She shouldnt have busted his confidence.


    Well, in fact, your body isnt so bad Ill give you a seventy out of a hundred, Nian Qi mumbled.


    Only seven Jiang Yuning wasnt happy. I usually get a hundred out of a hundred.


    Nian Xi didnt know how to respond. Even her shameless brother gave himself ny-nine out of a hundred.


    Whatever, hes a scientist, she thought.


    At breakfast, Jiang Yuning surprisingly had a sandwich, a croissant, some oat milk, an omelette, and a muffin.


    People were shocked. Usually, he ate like a bird, and rarely touched meat. But today, he even had a few slices of ham.


    Uncle Han was a little worried. Mr. Jiang, are you he asked.


    Jiang Yuning swallowed the muffin with effort, then burped and wrote, I want to be strong.


    Uncle Han was delighted. You really should. You are too skinny.


    Nian Xis mouth corners twitched slightly. Hes trying very hard to get a girlfriend, she said to herself.


    After breakfast, they headed toward the auditorium in the exhibition center, where the conference would take ce.


    On their way, Jiang Yuning was reading his speech draft, which was in English.


    Nian Xi nced at the draft then felt dizzy.


    About ten minutester, she found that Jiang Yuning was in the exact same posture. She admired him for how focused he was.


    Another ten minutester, she felt slightly strange. She bent over to look at his face and found that he had fallen asleep.


    He was about to give a speech in front of physicists from all around the world, yet he fell asleep.


    Nian Xi poked him on the shoulder.


    He swayed slightly, slowly leaning on her shoulder. He even moved his hip to make himself morefortable.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    She wanted to wake him up, but Uncle Han stopped her and whispered, Dont. Mr. Jiang didnt get much sleepst night. He was nervous. He only slept for about an hour this morning.


    Nian Xi was surprised. No wonder he has big dark circles under his eyes. But he doesnt seem nervous.


    Mr. Jiang looks silly all the time. How can you possibly tell if hes nervous or not? Uncle Han smiled. He told me about it this morning. Just let him get some sleep. You need to understand that he is carrying many responsibilities.


    All right


    Nian Xi agreed but didnt feel right.


    Am I supposed to let him sleep on my shoulder like this? she thought.

 Chapter 895. It Was Really Like She Was Taking Care of Xiaosi

    Chapter 895. It Was Really Like She Was Taking Care of Xiaosi


    Nian Xi looked at him.


    She could make out his tall and sculpted silhouette now; his long eyshes cast a light shadow on his cheeks as the sunlight streamed through the window. He looked ethereal, and she felt a sense of calmness looking at him.


    Nian Xi could feel his shallow breathing on her neck; it was ticklish and it made her numb all over, but she held it in.


    Suddenly, the car in front of them mmed on their brakes. Jiang Yuning slid down from her shoulder and she caught his head with her hands. He readjusted himself and continued sleeping in the nook of her arm.


    Nian Xi looked down at him. She had the urge to reach out and ruffle his hair. She felt as if she had a new pet.


    After a while of holding his head, she gentlyid him down on herp.


    Nian Xi woke him up when they arrived at the convention hall. Jiang Yuning got up, his ck eyes still in a daze. She had the urge to reach out and pinch his cheeks again.


    Wake up, were at the event hall, Nian Xi said, reminding him.


    So fast? Jiang Yuning rubbed his eyes and his fringe fell onto his forehead. His hair looked messy.


    Your fringe, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning tried to fix his hair, but he only made it messier. Nian Xi reached out and smoothed it. He looked down at her, his eyes watery. Nian Xi swallowed nervously when she caught his gaze. It was like she was taking care of Xiaosi.


    Her hand was patting his head. Jiang Yuning looked down, nuzzling his head into her palms. His soft hair brushed against her hands and it was electrifying. She quickly withdrew.


    Jiang Yuning was disappointed. He wished that she would continue to pat his head forever.


    Uncle Han feigned ignorance and said, We should head out.


    The security checks were more stringent this time. Every invitation could only admit two persons. Nian Xi went in with Jiang Yuning, who was still pretending to be his girlfriend. She had her arm wrapped around his arm.


    There were a lot more people at the event today than the exhibition the day before.


    When they walked in, they realized that Jiang Yunings seat was fifth from thest row. He was seated with other researchers from third-world or developing countries. Professor Wang and other Chinese scientists were also seated in that row.


    Professor Wang was shocked to see Jiang Yuning there. Yuning, why are you seated so far back when youre going to be speakingter?


    Jiang Yuning sat down with Nian Xi without saying a word.


    Professor Wang was angry. This is too much. They are discriminating against us. They look down on us, those bunch of arrogant fools. You are a scientist that proposed the nano quantum theory. You are far better than most of them sitting up front.


    Nian Xi was angry as well. Forget it, they are too conceited. Why dont we just take our leave?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head. We cant go. We need to show them our technology.


    Nian Xi was stunned. In that moment, she felt proud and in awe of him. Although he was usually a little dazed, he never tripped up during crucial moments.


    When the conference started, various scientists and physicists stepped up and spoke in English, using a lot of technical jargon. Nian Xi couldnt follow the talk until a Japanese man took the stage.


    Professor Wang said in shock, Yuning, isnt this what you were supposed to talk aboutter?


    Nian Xi was shocked and turned to look at Jiang Yuning. He was nodding his head.


    Youre up after another two speakers, arent you? Nian Xi swallowed hard. If he went up to repeat what the previous speaker had just borated, he would be deemed as a joke of the conference. It would have a disastrous effect on their countrys image.

 Chapter 896. She Looked at His Back and Suddenly Felt That He Was Standing High and Tall

    Chapter 896. She Looked at His Back and Suddenly Felt That He Was Standing High and Tall


    Jiang Yuning nodded, looking serious. That look wasnt often seen on his face.


    What are you gonna do? Nian Xi panicked. Do you have other drafts? Can you repeat one of those speeches that youve made back in China?


    No, said Professor Wang. That wouldnt be a problem if were at a domestic conference. However, this is an international meeting. If we dont have a new and creative project, people might think the technological development of our country is falling behind. It might affect our international reputation. These people cant possibly make up their speeches in a couple of days. They might have spent years, or even over a decade on their projects. The ones who have attended this conference are all elites, from all over the world. Every speaker was strictly selected.


    Professor Wang paused briefly, then took out a speech draft of his own from his bag and said, I prepared this for the physics conference thatll take ce in Qinghua University next month. Take a look at it. Its not as good as yours, but youll at least have something to talk about.


    Jiang Yuning nced at the draft, then shook his head and said, Youve been working on this project for years. I cant take it.


    Are you aware of our situation now Professor Wang got anxious.


    Be quiet. Ille up with another draft, Jiang Yuning said, then closed his eyes.


    Professor Wang wanted to say something else, but Nian Xi stopped him and whispered, Never mind. I think hes confident, or he wouldnt say that. I believe he knows what he can and cannot do.


    Professor Wang paused briefly, then gave Nian Xi a nce with a weird expression and said, Yeah. Ive known him for a long time. He is young and very talented. Girl, Im surprised that you trust him so much. No wonder he chose you to be his girlfriend. He never had a girlfriend before, and now he has you.


    Nian Xi blushed awkwardly.


    He turned to see Jiang Yuning from time to time but found him as quiet as an eminent monk who was immersed in meditation.


    After the Japanese scientist, a physicist from Singapore was about to finish his speech as well.


    Nian Xi was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Jiang Yuning stayed motionless. She couldnt tell if he could do it or not.


    It wasnt like yesterday.


    Losing that argument yesterday would be no big deal, yet if he failed the speech today, he would bring shame on his country.


    As the Singapore scientist finished his speech, the host said in English, Next, lets wee Jiang Yuning, a physicist from China. Coincidentally, he is going to talk about the Nano border theory too. As Mr. Jiang made his way here, I believe the result of his study is not the same as what Mr. Oda has, or, he might have made a new breakthrough.


    Nian Xi was angry. Those shameless people stole the work of someone else, and made it sound so reasonable.


    There was an apuse.


    Jiang Yuning opened his eyes, and slowly stood up. He walked past Nian Xi, and down the stairs, step by step.


    The light poured on his back. He was wearing a suit, looking slim, butposed and humble. He seemed far away from the mortal world.


    Nian Xi clenched her fists and looked at his back. He did not have a muscr body, yet at that moment, she felt that he was standing high and tall.


    Jiang Yuning walked onto the stage and stood behind the microphone. With a deep voice, he began speaking. Yes, I was going to talk about the Nano border theory, which I have spent three years working on. However, Mr. Oda has made a speech about that already.


    Once his voice faded, the people on the scene started whispering to each other.


    He was clearly trying to say that Mr. Oda stole his work.

 Chapter 897. I Dont Want to Be Your Idol, I Want to Be Your Boyfriend

    Chapter 897. I Don''t Want to Be Your Idol, I Want to Be Your Boyfriend


    Mr. Oda chuckled coldly. Mr. Jiang, are you going to me me for yourck of preparedness and content? Its okay if you havent prepared well enough. You can always choose to give up the talk today. Theres no need to defame others like this.


    There was a wave ofughter in the audience. Nian Xi was furious.


    It was the first time she had met anyone as despicable and shameless as Mr. Oda. Not only did he copy someone elses idea, he was the pot calling the kettle ck.


    Jiang Yuning looked calm and collected. He replied to Mr. Oda saying, Thank goodness I didnt devote all my time in the past three years to a single research project. To prove myself, I will be sharing my research on the space ck hole theory. I havent written a script for this presentation as I didnt expect to be talking about it today. If I dont speak as well as I would like to, I hope you understand.


    Jiang Yuning bowed to the audience before he started talking about space wormholes.


    Nian Xi was sitting in the audience listening to his exhrating talk. Everyone grew silent and listened intently.


    Professor Wang remarked, This guy is even better than his parents. He managed toplete two remarkable projects in three years. Hes speaking so eloquently on stage without a proper script; he will win the Nobel prize sooner orter. After all, hes still so young.


    Nian Xi nodded her head in agreement. If she was in awe of Jiang Yuning before, he was her idol now.


    She had grown up in a military family and she was deeply patriotic by nature. She admired the people who contributed to the progress of her home country and had never felt as much respect for anyone until this moment.


    You are a lucky girl. Professor Wang looked at her enviously. Four years ago, I wanted to introduce my granddaughter to him but he didnt fancy her. You should treasure him. Although he isnt the most romantic man, and might be a little dull, he is loyal and sincere. You should be proud of him and his aplishments, not to mention his looks. I dare say he is more handsome than a lot of celebrities out there.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed. Professor Wang didnt know that she was just putting on an act with Jiang Yuning, but he was telling her his sincere sentiments.


    She looked over at Jiang Yuning who was still on stage. The halo around him glowed even brighter than some of the celebrities she had met. He didnt even lose to Feng Ji Chuan. Although he wasnt as hunky as him, he was much more intelligent and knowledgeable.


    After twenty minutes, Jiang Yuning concluded his talk. The audience was silent for a minute before they erupted into a loud round of apuse.


    Jiang Yuning nced over at Mr. Oda. Do you still think I need to find an excuse for myself?


    Mr. Oda was ring at him awkwardly. I admit that you did a good job, but you shouldnt use me of stealing your work. This is the result of my own hard work.


    Ive never said that you copied my work, but I will be publishing my nanotechnology report on the China Physics Research website tomorrow. Everyone can see for themselves then. Jiang Yuning walked off the stage after that.


    Everyone was looking at him, the young oriental man.


    When he walked over, Nian Xi turned to look at him. Before she could say anything, he bent over and nted a peck on her cheek. She caught a waft of ginger, the smell of his shampoo. His lips were warm and tender, like a feather caressing her cheeks. Nian Xi was stunned. When she came to her senses, she realized that many people were looking their way. Her cheeks turned bright pink.


    It was the first time anyone kissed her other than Feng Ji Chuan. Although it was just a simple way of greeting overseas, she was still an innocent Chinese girl.


    What are you doing?


    Jiang Yuning sat down and Nian Xi red at him.


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and said innocently, I saw everyone else kiss their wives after they were done with their talk. Although were only putting on an act, we should try our best not to blow your cover.


    Nian Xi was speechless. He made a good point.


    Jiang Yuning turned to grin at himself when Nian Xi didnt say anything in reply. He looked a child who had just snuck a candy. If he had known that she was so easily convinced, he would have kissed her lips instead.


    Jiang Yuning was staring at her lips now, Nian Xi was looking at him too.


    Do you think I was charismatic on stage? he asked.


    Nian Xi was suddenly flustered. She couldnt bring herself to say all thepliments she had thought earlier. She stuttered as she nodded her head, Yeah, you were. You were super charismatic. From now on, you are my idol.


    Jiang Yunings eyes lit up as he shyly lowered his head. He started to fish out his pen and notepad with a bit of hesitance. I dont want to be your idol; I want to be your boyfriend.


    It was too sudden. She felt a little faint. An internationally renowned scientist was asking her to be his girlfriend at such an important event.


    It felt unreal.


    She could brag about this for the rest of her life. Although he had brought this up before, she had always considered him a child before she witnessed his capabilities. Why did he suddenly bring it up again? Oh yeah. She remembered he had just spoken about finding himself a girlfriend that morning. Was he going through puberty? He seemed eager to get into a rtionship.


    Jiang Yunings proposal was interrupted by Professor Wan. He nodded his head with disappointment.


    Brat, you were awesome, Professor Wang said and punched Jiang Yunings chest yfully. In the three years that you fell ill, you managed to develop two amazing research projects. Youre going to drive all of us old guys mad!.


    Nian Xi heaved a sigh of relief.


    She respected Jiang Yuning but getting into a rtionship was another matter. When Professor Wang had finished, Jiang Yuning turned to look at her again, prepared to show her the same note.


    Pay attention to the presentation. Nian Xi snatched the note out of his hands.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and continued writing, I already know everything theyre talking about.


    Nian Xi was speechless. She pitied these old researchers who had devoted their lives to their work.


    I dont know about their research, she said.


    Jiang Yuning frowned and wrote, Ill wait for your reply then. Ill treat you well if you are willing to be my girlfriend.


    Nian Xis ears were hot. It was the first time someones written words were more impactful than what they said in real life. She focused on what the scientists were presenting on stage, but she noticed that Jiang Yuning wasnt listening to the talk at all. He was still scribbling away on his notepad.


    Nian Xi asked curiously, Are you taking notes? I thought you said you already knew all these things. Arent you being a little too serious?


    Jiang Yuning looked a little lost, before he whispered, Im writing a love letter.

 Chapter 898. A Scientist Who Was Addicted to Writing Love Letters

    Chapter 898. A Scientist Who Was Addicted to Writing Love Letters


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    He was so serious, and she felt so nervous and stressed.


    Writing a love letter is even more difficult than writing scientific reports. Jiang Yuning sounded annoyed and upset. Ive spent a long time on it but failed toe up with even a few lines.


    Nian Xi was touched and also amused.


    Back in school, she had received some love letters, but at that time, she was all about Feng Ji Chuan.


    Later on, she started working. The world was busy, and not many people had the ability and time to write love letters.


    Perhaps, its because you dont like me enough, she said.


    No. I like you. Jiang Yuning strongly disagreed. He shook his head.


    Do you like me for who I am? Or because you want a girlfriend? After all, Im the only female friend you have. You may want to think it through, Nian Xi said. Alright, lets not talk about that. Currently, you need to figure out why those Japanese people know about your report.


    Jiang Yuning ignored thest part of her speech but continued focusing on the love letter.


    Nian Xi didnt believe him, so he had to give her the perfect love letter to make her change her mind.


    Nian Xi found his reaction annoying and funny. He had be a scientist who was addicted to writing love letters.


    The conference was over. Jiang Yuning prepared to leave, but people started to surround him.


    The speech he gave tonight might not have been the best speech, but his on-spot performance and what Mr. Oda did, impressed people the most.


    Cristine from the United States came over, along with Mr. Oda, and said to Jiang Yuning, smilingly, Mr. Jiang, do you fancy afternoon tea in Mr. Wilsons Manor? We are all devoted to physics and will be talking about the subject. To be frank, we are working for the benefit of mankind. Perhaps, youll find that what happened between you and Mr. Oda is a total misunderstanding when we sit down and talk. Dont Chinese people always say that we should make friends instead of enemies?


    Nian Xi couldnt dislike the two of them more. They stole someone elses work and shamelessly called it a misunderstanding.


    She turned to Jiang Yuning and found him as absentminded as ever. She couldnt help but respond on behalf of him. Im afraid Chinese people see tea differently as you do. In our culture, tea is rted to the state of mind. The people who know tea well are decent people. Tea is refreshing, elegant, longsting, like the fog from the highest mountain. So I think its inappropriate for us to have tea with you guys.


    Cristine and Odas expressions changed.


    Are all Chinese women so impolite and undereducated? said Mr. Oda coldly.


    Nian Xi was infuriated. Before she argued back, Jiang Yuning held her hand and said, Lets go. Dont talk to incapable people.


    His words pissed off Mr. Oda. Boy, dont be arrogant. You were still a baby when I became famous.


    Yeah. I was better than you when I was a baby, Jiang Yuning said. Jian Yuning left holding Nian Xis hand.


    Mr. Oda looked at him angrily and said, I didnt know that he had the other draft.


    I think we both underestimated him. Cristine narrowed her eyes and said, Hes very likely to win the next Nobel Prize in physics.


    He is not qualified, said Mr. Oda through clenched teeth.


    Cristine nced at him, then continued, Ive received a message saying that someone has been working on the dark energy and has made progress.


    You think its him? Mr. Oda was stunned.

 Chapter 899. He Wouldnt Be Able to Sleep in the Same Room As Nian Xi Anymore

    Chapter 899. He Wouldn''t Be Able to Sleep in the Same Room As Nian Xi Anymore


    Cristine shook her head. Im not sure, but we have to be careful. This guy is so talented even at such a young age. Did you listen to his talk just now? Given his understanding of ck-holes, I wouldnt be surprised if he went on to study the subject of dark-matter energy.


    Mr. Oda looked shocked. If he has a breakthrough in that area, it could be utilized in every aspect


    Cristine squinted her eyes. Itll be best if we could keep him in Paris, just in case


    They exchanged a knowing look.


    Jiang Yuning emerged from the hall along with Nian Xi before he said unhappily, He bullied you.


    Nian Xi cursed saying, Now I know there are shameless people in every field.


    Yeah, lets not talk to him in the future. Jiang Yuning nodded his head. He would remember Mr. Oda from now on.


    Nian Xi found it funny. I wont be encountering him anymore. You on the other hand


    Mr. Jiang, lets get in the car. Zhan Hong drove over.


    In the car, Nian Xi angrily recounted what had happened in the hall to the rest of the group. Uncle Han frowned and said, Mr. Jiangs research on nanotechnology is highly ssified information. How could it be leaked out? Is there a spy amongst us?


    At that moment, the atmosphere was tense.


    Fang Qi quickly raised his hands and said, Not me. I didnt even know what kind of research Mr. Jiang was doing until now.


    Uncle Han nced over at Nian Xi.


    Not her, Jiang Yuning said as he scooted closer to Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi was touched by his gesture but understood Uncle Hans suspicions. She was the one who stayed in the same room as Jiang Yuning. She was the most likely candidate who wouldve see him rehearse his script.


    Uncle Han, my father works in the military and my grandfather was in the army too. I would never do such a thing, Nian Xi said. I think if were going to look into this, we might want to focus on theboratory assistants at the research center.


    Right, Zhan Hong said quickly. Were all transferred from the police station. We dont know anything about research.


    Uncle Han sighed. So you spoke about ck holes?


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head, then paused for a long while before saying, It was an urgent predicament. I had no choice


    You must have stood out. Im just worried Uncle Han said. The original n was for you to return three dayster. I think we should move the date forward. Well leave tomorrow.


    Why? Nian Xi was puzzled. Are you worried those people would hurt Mr. Jiang? Shouldnt they be used to this? There are always going to be people more knowledgeable than others. They cant possibly hurt whoevers better than them.


    Does it have to do with your secret research project? Zhan Hong asked.


    Uncle Han was silent.


    Zhan Hong and Nian Xi looked at each other before he started the car. Lets return tomorrow then, but we would need a reasonable excuse. He is supposed to attend the French Research Centre Dinner G. Now that were leaving early, we might look even more suspicious


    Lets just im that we caught the person who leaked the information and we have to go back to deal with the matter, Nian Xi said.


    Thats a good idea. Uncle Han nodded his head and looked at Jiang Yuning. What do you think?


    Jiang Yuning was frustrated. If they went back, it would mean that he wouldnt be able to sleep in the same room as Nian Xi anymore, and she would also have to work in the same ce as her ex-boyfriend.


    Mr. Jiang, what are you thinking about?


    Nothing. Jiang Yuning shook his head; he appeared dejected.


    He felt troubled, so he decided to continue working on his love letter.

 Chapter 900. Put Mr. Jiang in an Important Place

    Chapter 900. Put Mr. Jiang in an Important ce


    Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? Seeing him writing leisurely under such a critical situation, Uncle Han questioned him.


    Writing a love letter. Jiang Yuning poked his ears with his pen and said, Im not good at it. You guys have any suggestions?


    Nian Xi nearly passed out. The situation wasnt good, yet he was still thinking about writing love letters.


    Fang Qi nced at Nian Xi in a meaningful way, thenughed and asked him, Who is the love letter for?


    Im not telling you. Jiang Yuning lowered his head, then sneakily nced at Nian Xi, with a faint smile.


    Nian Xi wanted to crawl into a deep hole.


    Please, you are making it so obvious, she thought.


    Zhan Hongughed and said, You are amazing. We are all over forty. We forgot about how to write love letters long ago. But I do know that a love letter is for expressing your true heart. Just write down whatever crosses your mind. Thatll be enough.


    Jiang Yuning closed his eyes and fell into subtle thoughts.


    Not long after they returned to the hotel, Uncle Han rebooked the ne tickets.


    That night, Zhan Hong, Nian Xi and Fang Qi held a small meeting in a room.


    Ive received a phone call from Lizhi. ording to him, two suspicious people showed up near the hotel earlier today, after we came back. Zhan Hong showed the others the picture from Huo Lizhi. Two ck people, tall and strong.


    Fang Qi nced at the picture, then clicked his tongue and said, Very strong. I think theyre both good fighters.


    Zhan Hong continued with a serious look. Our Director sent us here to make sure everything will be alright. Before we left, he told us this may or may not be a safe trip. I guess our worst guess is very likely to be real. Now, I only wish we could leave this ce safely tomorrow.


    Who are they? Who do they work for? Nian Xi frowned and asked.


    We dont know much about science, said Zhan Hong in a low voice. But we do watch TV. We know that some scientific technologies deliver major improvements in terms of economy, even military


    Are you saying that Fang Qi was surprised.


    Thats nothing that we should know about. Zhan Hong raised a hand and interrupted him. Our job is to protect him. If If we need to face severe danger, we need to put Mr. Jiang in the safest ce


    Fang Qi and Nian Xi nodded together.


    Nian Xi had served as a police officer for years but it was the first time she carried out such an important mission; she was heavyhearted.


    And, there is one other thing. Zhan Hong abruptly turned to Nian Xi. If you decided to be with Mr. Jiang, you need to be strong and be prepared. Things like this may happen again.


    Nian Xi opened her mouth but the situation feltplicated.


    Zhan Hong didnt let her talk, but continued, Im not sure which stage you are at now. Im only reminding you. Being with him might bring you glory. You will be proud of him, but at the same time, you will need to take risks for him too.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    As the meeting was over, she came out of that room and went upstairs. Hearing the noises she made, Jiang Yuning quickly came out of his room, holding a note with a shy face Do you have an answer yet, about what I said to you before?


    Nian Xi paused, managing not to react immediately.


    Jiang Yuning took out the second note Girlfriend


    Youre still thinking about getting a girlfriend? Now? Nian Xi didnt even know how to react. Sometimes, she honestly admired him for being so innocent.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. Whatever was happening at the time, making Nian Xi his girlfriend was the most important thing to him.


    Nian Xi looked at him, the adult; he was grown, yet he was so pure and innocent. She was proud of knowing him and didnt mind spending more time with him. However, Zhan Hong was right. To be with him, she needed to take risks.

 Chapter 901. The Person I Like Doesnt Want Me Anymore

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


    The bundle of nkets shook its head.


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


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


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

 Chapter 902

    Chapter 902


    Nian Xi bit her lip and said, If you dont mind, we can still be friends.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his eyes.


    He didnt want to be friends with her. He wanted to be her boyfriend, to hold her hands, to kiss her and to hold her.


    As he stayed silent, Nian Xi forced herself to stand up and said, Im going downstairs.


    The breakfast was served, yet Jiang Yuning was still upstairs.


    Uncle Han went up to find him.


    He was silently sitting on the bed. As Uncle Han went into the room, he said frustratedly, I know you want me to have the breakfast, but I have no appetite. Nian Xi said that she doesnt like me, and that she wants to marry her ex-boyfriend. Her ex-boyfriend is tall and muscr. I dont have muscles. Im not as good as him.


    Uncle Han gave a bitter smile and said, Mr. Jiang, its not the time to think about that. We should leave. Well be in trouble if they find out about your dark energy study.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head with disappointment and said, Im not in the mood to keep working on the dark energy.


    Uncle Han didnt know what to say. He was desperate.


    If we stay here, Miss Nian might be in danger. Uncle Han felt he had to say that.


    Jiang Yuning finally raised his head and looked at Uncle Han.


    Get changed. Uncle Han handed him his clothes and then started packing his suitcase.


    Jiang Yuning got dressed and went downstairs. By that time, Nian Xi and the others were ready to go.


    Huo Lizhi returned to the team, and they headed to the airport.


    As they arrived at the airport and prepared to check-in, a group of police officers came over. The leader of the group was a French policeman. He said, Mr. Jiang, Langyi Oda from Japan has reported a case. You are suspected of giarizing his work. Pleasee with us. Well make things clear.


    Everyone was shocked. Nian Xi said with anger, Langyi Oda stole his work. Didnt you see the report that Mr. Jiang published on the website this morning?


    The group of French policemen nced at each other, then responded with, Sorry, we didnt see it.


    Nian Xi turned to Jiang Yuning and asked him, Didnt you say that youd publish it this morning?


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then murmured, I forgot. I fell in love.


    Nian Xi couldnt say a word.


    Pleasee with us, A policeman moved forward, attempting to put handcuffs on Jiang Yunings wrists.


    Fang Qi hurriedly stood before Jiang Yuning and said, We are from China. We are invited to the International Conference of Physics. You have no right to arrest any of us.


    This is supported by the international publicw. We cannot let him leave. If you resist, there might be bad consequences. The group of French policemen immediately drew out their pistols.


    Seeing the scene enfold, the other passengers hurriedly ran away, then turned back to watch and take pictures.


    Jiang Yuning stayed silent, then made a step forward and said, Ill go with you.


    You are crazy! Nian Xi pulled his arm and said loudly, They said theyll make things clear, but itll be hard for you toe out.


    I cant let you and the others get hurt. Jiang Yuning pushed her away and let the policeman put handcuffs on him.


    Mr. Jiang, dont worry. Ill talk to yourwyer right now, said Uncle Han.


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    He was then taken away by the group of policemen. Before getting into the police car, he gave Nian Xi a deep nce.


    Those people are so shameless. Nian Xi clenched her fists and said, I wonder if theyll torture him illegally in the police station.


    Thinking about Jiang Yunings thin and weak body, Nian Xi doubted if he could take any violence at all.

 Chapter 903

    Chapter 903


    I dont think so. Zhan Hong shook his head. They wouldnt dare to be so brazen. They might just be trying to retain Mr. Jiang here, to prevent him from returning home.


    Uncle Han nodded his head. Itll be better if they try to do something in the dark. In that case, we could just take care of it quietly and return home. Itll be disastrous if they tried to file awsuit; the proceedings are long and tiresome. Many cases drag on for years before its concluded. Its fine for an ordinary person but our Mister has many pressing projects on his hands. If he doesnt go back, all these projects wille to a standstill.


    Nian Xi shuddered at the thought of it. She was a police officer; she understood his point. Although some people are released after a few months, they would have to stay in Paris under close police surveince, and they wouldnt be allowed to leave.


    Uncle Han, about the report on nanotechnology. Mr. Jiang should have a detailed report on it. We just have to produce a copy for reference to the police


    What if Cristine has already struck a deal with the police here? Zhan Hong interrupted her saying, Langyi Oda doesnt have the guts to do this. The Americans must be behind him, and of course, the French will listen to them.


    No matter what, can we try to bail out Mr. Jiang first? Uncle Han sighed.


    Uncle Han quickly found a Chinesewyer, Mr. Mao to represent them. Lawyer Mao brought them to the Paris Police Station but the officers denied them the right to see Jiang Yuning, due to the severity of the matter. They were denying him bail as well.


    Nian Xi said hurriedly, Cant wepare the nano-technology report? Any reasonable person would be able to tell who was the one who copied the report.


    Lawyer Mao looked at her coldly. Mr. Oda has managed to reproduce aplete report on the matter as well. Mr. Jiang had used him of giarism in public; he is now suing Mr. Jiang for defamation. Either Mr. Jiang admits to defaming him, or Mr. Oda admits to giarism.


    Uncle Han shook his head. Either one of the choices could ruin our Misters reputation. He wouldnt be able to gain a good standing in the world of physicists in the future. This is a matter of personal integrity.


    Nian Xi was shocked. All the information was stolen? Who did this?


    I already found out. Its someone from our research center. Uncle Han grimaced. He has already fled to the United States.


    Son of a bitch. Nian Xi hated people like that.


    Over the next few days, news of Jiang Yuning getting arrested at the airport had spread to China.


    Nian Junting called Nian Xi that night. Buy tickets toe home tomorrow and bring your colleagues.


    Brother, how could you suggest that? Havent you seen the news? Nian Xi was angry and indignant. He is being framed. Theyre trying to oppress his talent by using dirty tricks. You didnt see how wonderful he performed at the Physics Conference


    I didnt say that he did anything wrong, I believe him, Nian Junting said, interrupting her.


    Its just that the case has be soplicated that its not something that you nor your colleagues can handle. The Physics Society will try their best to get him out, but it will take time. This is a long-drawn battle, and youre not of any use over there. Nian Junting reminded her saying, Dont forget that Im getting married in a few days time.


    Im not in the mood to attend your wedding now. Nian Xi felt like she had to hide her frustrations over the past two days.


    Even if I didnt ask you toe home, your director will be rying the order very soon, Nian Junting said helplessly.

 Chapter 904

    Chapter 904


    I cant leave now. Nian Xi ended the call.


    How could she leave Jiang Yuning there and go home alone?


    She was supposed to protect him.


    She walked out of the room. Lawyer Mao, Uncle Han, and the others were still talking about the case in the living room. Seeing her, Uncle Han said, Mr. Jiangs parents are on their way here. Theyll probably arrive this afternoon. Thank you for taking care of us, thest couple of days. I have booked tickets for you, so you can leave this afternoon.


    Nian Xi was going to say something, but Zhan Hong interrupted her and said, Mr. Han, we are so sorry that we couldnt help.


    Captain, did you agree to leave too? Nian Xi couldnt believe that.


    The Director called me, said Zhan Hong with aplicated feeling. He told us to go back. We are not helpful here, and there are other cases to be solved.


    But Nian Xi didnt want to go.


    This case is out of our reach. Our job is to keep him safe in Paris, and we did that, Zhan Hong knew what she was thinking. He interrupted her again and said, Trust me, Mr. Jiang wille home.


    I know he will; he is wronged. But, how long? Nian Xi looked at Uncle Han, wishing to hear a positive answer from him.


    Well try to get him out in a couple of months. Uncle Han sighed helplessly. Those people are buying time, and these French people are trying to make things worse. You have your own work to do. Its unnecessary for you to waste your time here. Dont worry. Mr. Jiang works for the government, and the government wont give up on him.


    Nian Xi fell silent.


    Even Uncle Han told her to go. What could she possibly say?


    If it happened in Xia City, she would be able to help, as her parents were both powerful. But away from home, she couldnt do anything to help him.


    Thinking about Jiang Yunings pitiful eyes, she felt very ufortable. She wondered if he would get bullied in the detention house.


    He was so innocent and vulnerable. He had some high-tech weapons, but the police officers would certainly take those away.


    At 2:00 p.m., Nian Xi packed her luggage, but didnte out of her room.


    Uncle Han knocked on her door and said, Miss Nian, its time to leave. Mr. Zhan and the other officers are waiting for you downstairs. Mr. Jiang and I will visit you to thank you for your care when we get back to Xia City.


    Dont say that. We didnt do much. Uncle Hans words made Nian Xi feel bad.


    If she left, would Jiang Yuning be disappointed when he came out of the detention house?


    Seeing her struggle, Uncle Han smiled and said, You have already turned Mr. Jiang down. Do not change your mind. Dont give him hope, and then tell him again that you still love your ex-boyfriend. Thatll be hurtful, wont it?


    Im sorry Nian Xi lowered her head. Her cheeks burned.


    Its okay. I understand. Mr. Jiang is a scientist, and his work scares a lot of people. If other people knew about his work, theyd see him as a pain in the ass. Even the people who are close to him might be affected. Uncle Han picked up her suitcase and said, Ill walk you downstairs.


    Uncle Han walked Nian Xi and her colleagues to their ride. Not long after the car started driving, Nian Xi saw another car parked before Uncle Han.


    Uncle Han politely greeted a man and a woman, who mightve been Jiang Yunings parents.


    Fang Qi saw it too. Seeing that Nian Xi was upset, he said to her, Weve gained some new experiences the past few days. I admire Mr. Jiang, but after all, we arent from the same world.

 Chapter 905

    Chapter 905


    Nian Xi looked at him confusedly.


    Fang Qi sighed andforted her. Think about it. His IQ is probably over 200 and yours is probably around 80. The gap between your intelligence is too stark; it will affect your offspring. When he talks to you about protons and nano, you can only talk to him about spicy soup and barbeque, its tragic.


    She was already feeling frustrated, but now, she felt like strangling him.


    Zhan Hong tried to hold back hisughter. Are you really trying tofort her?


    Fang Qi felt wronged. Im just stating the facts. Two people have to bepatible to be together. Besides, Nian Xi is active and extroverted, and Mr. Jiang is theplete opposite. He enjoys staying in the quietb by himself, sitting in a daze and thinking about things. You have to be ready to face these differences if you want to be together.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. He was actually making sense.


    Jiang Yuning didnt like to talk but her brother spoke incessantly. If her parents had a son-inw like Jiang Yuning, they would probably go mad.


    After a ten-hour long flight, the nended in Xia City at night.


    Nian Junting was with Nian Qingyun and Murong Cheng at the airport waiting.


    Nian Xi was touched when she saw the three of them waiting for her. No matter how big the world was, her small family and her small home was her warm cove for respite.


    What a miracle that the three of you are here together. Nian Xi walked up to them and gave Murong Cheng a big hug.


    You think I want to see your father? I was just worried about you. Murong Cheng tousled Nian Xis hair. If you werenting back today, I would have flown to look for you.


    Dont be dramatic. Nian Xi looked at Nian Junting. He stepped backward and said, I dont want to hug you.


    As if she wanted to hug him.


    Nian Xi was speechless but asked, Wheres Sang?


    Shes at home, Nian Junting replied coldly. She wanted toe see you but I didnt let her out of the house.


    Nian Xi, since your family is here, were going to take our leave first. The Director told us to take a few days off to rest before going back to report for duty. You can take your time to adjust your mood at home. Zhan Hong waved goodbye to her.


    After she got in the car, she quickly asked Nian Qingyun, Dad, did they manage to capture that guy who leaked the information from theb?


    The United States is refusing to hand over the man. Nian Qingyun turned to look at her. Of course, this is temporary. They will have to hand him over eventually. If they dont take a stand, it would encourage everyone to steal intellectual property.


    How shameless. How could he betray his own country like this? Nian Xi said angrily.


    The man came back after studying overseas. He was probably bought out by then. Nian Qingyun sighed and shook his head. Dont worry about Jiang Yuning. I received news that someone will be rescuing him soon. His parents are renowned scientists and have plenty of connections. The standing of our country is different now, so they wouldnt dare to be too brazen. They dont have the guts to do anything too drastic.


    Nian Qi felt reassured when she heard that.


    Xi, do you fancy Jiang Yuning? You seem very concerned about him, Murong Cheng said.


    No, hes just a friend. Its natural for me to show concern about my friends. Not to mention hes someone that I respect a lot. Nian Xi lowered her head and said, But what do you guys think about me getting into a rtionship with him?

 Chapter 906

    Chapter 906


    When Nian Junting suddenly pressed on the break, Nian Xi almost fell out of her seat. Brother, what are you doing?


    You want to be with that dumb boy? Nian Junting red at her and said, Are you serious?


    Nian Xi sighed and replied with, He is not dumb. He just doesnt like talking. I didnt say that I want to be with him. I just feel that I can give it a try. Im not with anyone now, am I? Besides, my heart got softened every time I saw him. Hes like a puppy of mine.


    Nian Junting paused briefly, then nodded and said, I get it. You need a dog. You can have Xiaosi for a while.


    Nian Xi didnt respond.


    Nian Qingyun said, I think its because shes old enough to be a mother. Her motherly love is affecting her.


    Murong Cheng felt speechless.


    Nian Junting and his father had a weird way of thinking.


    Mom Nian Xi turned to Murong Cheng.


    I get it. I used to feel the same way. Murong Cheng nodded. Maybe you can get a real puppy? Ill buy you one tomorrow.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. It turned out that her mother didnt understand her feelings.


    Murong Cheng gave a bitter smile and said, Your awful brother has already given me headaches. If I had a weird, mute son-inw, I might just die with a headache.


    Nian Junting added coldly, Whether he likes to talk or not isnt important. I dont like talking either. Im just angry that he could ignore me.


    Its because of his growth environment. Both his parents are scientists. He spent his entire childhood in thebs. Thats why hes autistic. I believe I can change him, Nian Xi said. He only smiles at me and talks to me; thats not bad. When you have a pet, you wouldnt want your pet to y up to everyone. Youd be angry about it.


    Do you want a pet or a boyfriend? Nian Qingyun interrupted her and said, Do you even know what you want?


    Or do you just like him because he looks good, said Nian Junting.


    He could not forget that Luosang always mentioned how pretty Jiang Yuning was. Ever since he was arrested, Luosangined at every meal, and said she would never go to Japan or France again.


    Nian Xi lowered her head.


    She admitted to herself that Jiang Yuning was very good-looking. Sometimes she wanted to pinch his cheeks and rub his hair. Last time, she even wanted to grab his little butt.


    She, of course, would never tell anyone about that, or people might see her as ascivious girl.


    Nian Junting shook his head regrettably and said, I am surprised that your taste hasnt improved at all, even though you grew up with handsome people like me, Xiao Si, and Feng Ji Chuan. You still like those kinds of pretty boys.


    Nian Xi responded ndly saying, I looked at you guys every day. Maybe thats the reason why I found Jiang Yuning delicate and refreshing. After all, you dont look young.


    Nian Junting was unhappy. What do you mean that I dont look young? Luo always praises me for my good looks. She said that I look around twenty-five.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes. She didnt believe him at all.


    Eh-hem, Nian Qingyun said. Alright, lets not talk about that. Since we have achieved an agreement, we will get Nian Xi a puppy tomorrow. If after that, she still feels like having a puppy-like boy, well discuss it further.

 Chapter 907

    Chapter 907


    Nian Xi was speechless. Just what had she done to cause them to misunderstand and think that she was raising a dog?


    However, they werent wrong either. She might have the same feelings if she were to keep a puppy.


    Nian Xi went back to the Nian family mansion with Nian Qingyun. She hadnt been back in a long while, so grandmother was very happy to see her. After chatting with grandmother for a while, Nian Xi returned to her room.


    Lying on her big bed, she suddenly felt that whatever happened in Paris was so far away. However, Paris time was behind. It must still be morning there.


    Nian Xi sat up and opened her suitcase. A white piece of paper fell out.


    She wondered why her suitcase would have such a thing in it and thought it was a piece of trash. She absently opened it to take a look before throwing it away, only to see Xi written at the top.


    She took a closer look and realized that it was a love letter. The handwriting was very familiar as she frequently saw Jiang Yuning write like this.


    She held her breath and read it line by line:


    Xi, please allow me to call you as such. Ive always wanted to call you this way, but I was afraid that you would not like it.


    I like you; I like you very much.


    If you ask me how I describe this like, I wont know how to. I have never fallen for anyone before, but I once liked a cat when I was eight. After it passed away from illness, I was sad for a long time. I even cried. I imagine that I like you just like how I liked that cat. Uncle Han said that since you broke up with your ex-boyfriend, he must have not treated you well. I imagine, if you are with me, I will never mistreat you. I like to follow you, I like to watch you smile, I like to watch you, I like you patting my head, I like you caressing my cheeks


    It ended abruptly, but Nian Xi had a feeling that it wasntpleted.


    Was this the love letter he wrote? The love letter that had been on his mind?


    Nian Xi felt likeughing. Hepared her to a cat he had in the past. He really couldnt write love letters. Luckily, she knew what kind of person he was; she was rather touched. Perhaps there wouldnt be anyone silly enough to write her a love letter again.


    Nian Xi folded the letter and contemted for a while before she finally called Uncle Han.


    Uncle Han, are you the one who put that love letter in my suitcase?


    Yes, but Mr. Jiang wrote it, although it is not finished. I found it in his suitcase after he was taken away.


    Uncle Han smiled. Although I know that it is probably impossible between the two of you, that is Mr. Jiangs first love letter. I still wanted to deliver it to the intended recipient.


    Thank you Nian Xi said with a heavy heart. What do you intend to do today?


    The priority is to get Mr. Jiang out. The Chinese authorities are already putting pressure on this side. We will never admit to giarizing, let alone defaming Mr. Oda. We will file a counterwsuit against him, although the case will drag on for even longer, Uncle Han said.


    That is good to hear. Nian Xi breathed a sigh of relief. if you meet Mr. Jiang, pass him my regards.


    I will.


    After hanging up the phone, Nian Xi walked to the window. She couldnt do anything now. She should just focus on being a good bridesmaid.


    Nian Junting returned to Tianhu Vi.


    The soulful sound of a piano tune reverberated in the bedroom. Luosang was holding her belly with one hand. Youre back at just the right time. Your son gets extremely excited once he hears music.


    Since knowing that the baby was a boy, Nian Junting lost his excitement. He walked over and touched her belly. Right at that moment, the baby kicked. This kid likes music just like me.

 Chapter 908

    Chapter 908


    Nian Junting argued saying, I listened to music back in my mothers womb.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    And you still remember that? she thought. Amazing.


    At that moment, Nian Juntings phone rang. He nced at the number, then answered the call. Um, its up to you. Get an adorable one Corgi? Okay. That boy looks a little like a corgi.


    As he ended the call, Luosang asked him, Are you getting a corgi?


    No. Its for Nian Xi. Nian Junting leaned on the back of the couch, rubbing Luosangs belly with one hand.


    Why are you getting Nian Xi a dog? Whos that boy? Luosang was very curious.


    Jiang Yuning. Nian Junting sighed helplessly. Nian Xi said that Jiang Yuning is like a puppy. She intended to keep Jiang Yuning, but to change her mind, I decided to get her a corgi. Dont you think that Jiang Yuning looks like a corgi?


    I think you look more like a corgi, Luosang said in her head. A corgi is lovely. Can you get me one after I give birth to the baby? Luosang blinked, looking at Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting nced at her and said, Only lonely single women have dogs. You have a husband and a child. Why do you want a dog?


    Have you thought about how Nian Xi might feel when you say that? Luosang responded silently again.


    She wants to keep Jiang Yuning, meaning that he is adorable in her eyes. Maybe she just wants to rub him and pet him, Luosang tried to persuade Nian Junting.


    You dont have the same feelings toward him, do you? Nian Junting turned to her in an alert manner.


    I dont. Luosang hurriedly shook her head and said, I just think that Nian Xi likes him. I talk to her via WeChat sometimes. She always praises Jiang Yuning for how great he is at science. She hardly ever praises people like that, except for Feng Ji Chuan.


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a short while, then said, About that. I think she is right. To be honest, I admire him myself. But there are somethings that you dont understand. Have you ever thought that if hes only doing regr science projects, why would the government send police officers to protect him? Why did he get arrested in Paris? Im afraid that Nian Xi might get hurt if she decides to be with him.


    Luosang was stunned; she didnt say anything. A person like her couldnt possibly understand things like that.


    All right. Nian Xi will eventually make the decision herself. Now, the most important thing for you is that we will get married in just a few days. Nian Junting lowered his head, scratched her nose, and then held her in his arms and said, Well get the marriage certificate tomorrow.


    The wedding was in three days.


    Tomorrow? Luosang struggled a bit. So Ill be a married woman after tonight. I havent had any good fun yet.


    Good fun? Nian Junting gave a wicked smile, then abruptly scooped her up, heading toward the bed. Youre right. We should have some good fun. The baby is in a stable condition, so we can


    Luosang didnt see thating. She hurriedly dodged his kiss, then said with red cheeks, This is not what Im talking about. Dont guys have bachelor parties?


    I have no interest in a party with a bunch of guys. Id rather stay at home with you. Nian Juntingy down by her side and continued saying, Except for being jealous of me, what else can they possibly do?

 Chapter 909

    Chapter 909


    Luosang was touched. The two of them spent every day together, yet he wasnt sick of it at all.


    But Junting, if you always spend time with me, you will lose friends.


    If I lose them then so be it. I dont have many friends to begin with, Nian Junting said indifferently and kissed her.


    Luosang didnt know whether tough or cry. She had no idea what to say.


    Things like friends are all transient. I only need you, Nian Juntings hands were already peeling away Luosangs clothes, making her tingle all over. She could not hold a proper conversation with him anymore.


    Luosang was six months pregnant, so he didnt dare be too rough. Unlike the past, he could only embrace her while they were lying on their sides. Their bodies moved rhythmically while their faces rubbed against each other.


    However, his stamina was too much for her. Luosang was already exhausted and drenched in sweat, but it wasnt enough. In the end, he could only take a cold shower by himself. After, he buried his face into her neck and grumbled, me it all on that little rascal. Im turning into a monk because of him.


    Luosang didnt hold back and rolled her eyes. Arent you taking advantage of me every day? Monks dont have it as good as you.


    I only tasted the appetizer, Nian Junting said slowly. While you got the main course and are satisfiedpletely.


    Luosang was awkward. Since bing pregnant, she had be more sensitive. He could do anything, and she would still be satisfied.


    Lets sleep. Arent we getting our marriage certificate tomorrow?


    You are agreeing? Nian Juntings eyes lit up.


    When have I not? Luosang pulled the nket up higher to hide her reddened cheeks.


    Perhaps because she was thinking about registering their marriage tomorrow, her heart was a mix of emotions and she lost sleep.


    Nian Junting lost sleep too.


    The next day, he woke up and dressed at 6:00 a.m. He bumped into Xu Zhengxuan on his way out.


    You got up early today. Xu Zhengxuan was surprised.


    Yes, I am going to register my marriage with Luo today. I was too excited and couldnt sleep, Nian Junting couldnt hold back the smile on his face.


    Xu Zhengxuan was momentarily stunned. He was partly happy for them, but also sad. The woman he had raised was about to be handed over to someone else. However, this was going to happen sooner orter.


    When I was getting my marriage certificate with your mother, I was also so excited that I didnt sleep the whole night. Xu Zhengxuan smiled bitterly. All right Ill stop bothering you. Im going to get breakfast for Mo Jin.


    Dad, you can asionally ck off a little. Nian Junting thought it wasnt easy for Xu Zhengxuan to do that every day. Since arriving, he had been going to Mo Jin from morning till night.


    No, this kind of thing cannot be put off for even a day. Xu Zhengxuan waved his hand.


    Although Mo Jin hasnt forgiven me despite me doing this every day, she keeps this in her heart. If I ck off for a few days, then everything that Ive done would be for naught. Anyways, when you really like someone, you feel that doing something for them is also a type of happiness. Oh right! The household register is in the drawer in my room. You guys can take it yourself.


    Xu Zhengxuan left.


    Nian Junting started to admire Xu Zhengxuan. From his perspective, Xu Zhengxuan and Mo Jin would reconcile sooner orter. The two of them still had feelings for each other, unlike his own parents.


    Nian Junting woke Luosang up at 7:00 a.m. By then, Nian Junting had already prepared both of their household registers.


    Hurry up and eat breakfast. After that we can go register our marriage.


    Its all right if we dont hurry. Its not as if the Civil Affairs Bureau would move away. Luosang was upset. She didnt sleep wellst night, so she wanted to sleep in today.


    But I want you to be my wife sooner, Nian Junting said without hesitating.


    Luosangs heart was immediately melted with happiness.

 Chapter 910

    Chapter 910


    After breakfast, Nian Junting drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau


    At the sight of the bureau, Luosang sighed. So its here. Its not far away from my school. I never thought that Id marry someone in this city, so I never paid attention to this ce.


    Did you want to marry someone back in An City? Nian Junting wasnt happy thinking about that. Shouldnt you have started paying attention to the Civil and Affair Bureau the first time you met me?


    Luosang rolled her eyes and said, Dont even mention that to me. Recalling how awful you treated me before, I dont want to go into the bureau with you anymore.


    Luo, Im sorry. I was injured, and I was in a bad mood. You need to understand me. Nian Junting worried that she might change her mind, so he hurriedly carried her out of the car.


    They prepared the photo that was required for the marriage certificate and the process seemed simple. As the certificate was stamped, Luosang was overwhelmed with aplicated feeling. From that day on, she and Nian Junting were a legal couple.


    She must be determined to tolerate his narcissism for the rest of her life.


    Junting, we


    Good girl. Call me husband. Nian Junting put the marriage certificate before her eyes.


    Luosang paused briefly, then continued, Husband, we


    Call me that again. Nian Junting enjoyed it so much. It felt even better than being ttered.


    Can you at least let me finish? Its not like I never called you that before.


    That was totally different. We werent a legal couple before. Nian Junting disagreed.


    Yet, you were still very happy to hear that, thought Luosang.


    I just saw people downstairs selling a kind of little box for the marriage certificate. Those are pretty cute. Should we get one? Luosangughed.


    No need. I brought one, Nian Junting said, and took out a box from his trousers pocket. The box was made from pure gold, embossed with the words Luo, and Ting, with a huge happily married in the middle.


    Luosang was shocked.


    The middle-aged female staff member who just helped them with the certificate was stunned as well. She had helped many couples be married, but never saw a gold box like that. Young man, how much did that cost? she asked.


    Not much. Less than a hundred thousand. Nian Junting smiled. Gold is cheap these days. You can customize a big gold box like this with so little money.


    The female staff member didnt even know what to say.


    Was gold cheap? Was it? As an ordinary office worker, she honestly couldnt understand.


    Luosang buried her forehead in her palms and said, Did you have to spend so much money on a box for the marriage certificate? Am I not in charge of your money? Where did you get the money?


    Dumbo, how can you control my money? Nian Junting gave her an extremely proud nce and said, I felt that it was a little too cheap. This marriage certificate is priceless, seriously. Its more precious than anything. So I want to keep it in the best box ever. I was going to customize a rosewood box, but then I thought you value money very much, so you might prefer the lowlier stuff like gold.


    At first, Luosang was touched.


    He said their marriage certificate was priceless. How touching was that?


    But soon, she clenched her teeth and said, Im sorry you had to marry a lowly person like me.


    Are you angry? So pettish. Nian Junting gave her an affectionate nce, then carefully put the marriage certificate into the box and said, Ill be keeping this in case you may want to leave me. After all, you always attract a lot of suitors.

 Chapter 911

    Chapter 911


    When had she ever seduced a guy?


    Luosang pouted and asked, Shouldnt you let me have a good look at our marriage certificate?


    Nian Junting could only take it out again and pass it to her. Luosang opened it. It was quite simple. There was one photo and a few lines of words. Just like that, two people were forever bound together.


    What a beautiful couple, Nian Junting said.


    Luosang noticed the registration woman giving them strange looks. She quickly pulled Nian Junting out.


    After getting onto the car, Nian Junting took a photo of the marriage certificate with his phone and posted onto his WeChat Moments with the caption, We are married.


    Luosang looked at the post. They soon received many peoples well wishes. She felt rather blessed.


    After she liked Nian Juntings post, she quickly reposted the two photos with the caption, My Mr. Nian and I have finally tied the knot.


    Nian Junting curved his lips. He turned around and kissed her cheeks. Next, he took out a small gift box from the storagepartment and said, For you.


    You got me a present? Luosang raised her brows. She was surprised. Her Mr. Nian was bing more romantic.


    Yes, I must give my wife a present the day we get married. Nian Junting nudged his chin, indicating for her to open it.


    Luosang lowered her head to open the box. Inside was a retro bracelet. It was a tribal style and beautifully crafted. There was a small locket and red agate on the chain. It looked exceptionally elegant.


    He used to always give her diamonds. It was rare that this time he gave her an agate bracelet. Luosang thought he was rather creative.


    I like this very much, but isnt it a little big? she asked as she doubtfully extended her wrist.


    Its not too big. Nian Juntings thin lips curved slightly as he said, Ive felt your ankle. Its just right for your foot.


    Luosang lowered her head to look at the chain. Her face was full of questions. This is an anklet?


    Now that were married, I must use an anklet to chain your feet. You cant run away from me anymore. Nian Junting took grabbed the chain andmanded, Give me your foot.


    Luosang was speechless. She finally understood that he had ulterior motives in giving her a gift. This was only the first day of marriage, yet he was already chaining her feet. He was ruthless.


    What are you in a daze for? Nian Junting asked. Hurry,


    Luosang could only reluctantly raise her foot and extend it toward him. It was still summer, so she was wearing a pair of white canvas shoes and ankle length trousers. With the anklet on, the red agate contrasted against the fairness of her skin, giving her the air of an exotic beauty.


    Nian Junting seemed very happy. He kissed the agate on her ankle.


    Luosang felt embarrassed. Its very dirty.


    It was usually alright for him to kiss after she had showered at home, but now they were outside and had walked. There could be dust.


    Its not dirty. I like it. Nian Junting gently put her feet down. Ill treat you to steak for lunch.


    The two of them spent the day, which would eventually be their anniversary, together. They finally returned to the vite that night.


    Nian Xi waszily lying on their sofa eating snacks. On her chest was a Corgi puppy. With its ears pointed up high, it looked extremely adorable.


    Its so cute. Luosangs heart softened immensely while looking at it. She stretched her hands out to hug it.


    Dont touch it. Nian Junting pulled her back. Youre pregnant.


    But it is so cute. Luosangs heart was melting.


    It is quite cute, Nian Xi said as she patted the puppy, showering it with love.

 Chapter 912

    Chapter 912


    Nian Junting looked at her face with satisfaction.


    He sat by her side, crossed his legs and said, You have already forgotten Jiang Yuning, havent you? You are all about this dog now.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes, and responded with, Can a dog do science projects? Do you really think the dog can rece the person?


    Nian Junting didnt look at her but lowered his head to pet the little corgi. Good puppy, you look like Jiang Yuning.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say, but felt she wanted to kick him in his face.


    Luosang had gotten used to Nian Juntings awful attitude long ago.


    Xi, have you named the little corgi yet? She asked.


    Yeah, Ning-ning. Nian Xi smilingly pinched the dogs ear.


    Luosang stayed silent. You feel that Jiang Yuning looks like a corgi too, right? Otherwise, why would you name the dog after him? she thought.


    I dont think thats good. Luosang shared her opinion. If you two really got together, youd be calling both him and the dog Ning-ning. Thatd beplicated.


    How can a grown man be called Ning-ning? Ew, Nian Junting said coldly.


    Xiao Si called you Ting-ting. I thought that means tall and pretty, Luosang said, arguing without mercy.


    Immediately, Nian Junting wore a sour face.


    Nian Xi blinked, nodded and said, Youre probably right. Im gonna call the dog Jiang-jiang.


    Luosang nced at her feeling confused. Did the dog have to be named after Jiang Yuning? It seemed that he was pretty important to Nian Xi.


    Before dinner, Nian Junting received a phone call, then went to his study room.


    Luosang watched him leave, then lowered her voice and asked Nian Xi, How exactly do you feel about Jiang Yuning?


    Nian Xi shook her head, then responded with, Sangsang, did you ever feel that my brother is adorable? Did you ever want to rub his hair and pinch his cheeks?


    Luosang stayed silent for a few seconds, then said, Sometimes I wanted to pull out his hair, squeeze his ears and whip him.


    Just like my mother, Nian Xi said.


    Luosang sighed. Theyre different. So we feel differently about them. After all, Mr. Jiang is so quiet and adorable. If your brother was one percent as adorable as him, Id hold him in my arms and take care of him with all my heart.


    Nian Xi thought for a moment, then agreed with Luosang.


    During the next couple of days, Nian Xi paid attention to the news about Jiang Yuning. She heard that his family had asked for bail again. Jiang Yuning denied he giarized Langyi Odas work, and that he ndered him. A few foreign physicists had stated that Jiang Yunings performance at the conference was better than Langyi Odas and he had no reason to steal Odas work. Also, the Jiang Family had provided new evidence.


    The case had caused widespread concern, and people grew strong repulsion toward Japan and France.


    Nian Xi didnt go to the police station for days.


    Since Nian Junting was going to get married, she took a few days off.


    Soon, it was October 2nd. That night, Luosang slept at Mo Jins house. ording to tradition, she was expected to spend the night before her wedding, at her parents.


    Nian Junting walked her to her mothers house, and said, Good girl. Sleep early. Ille pick you up tomorrow morning.


    You dont need to be in a rush, said Mo Jin. We live in the same neighborhood. Theres only one house between us. Itll only take you about ten minutes to walk here.


    Hearing that, the corners of Luosangs mouth twitched slightly.


    Mo Jin was right. Her house and Nian Juntings were close to each other.


    Nian Junting suggested she spend the night in her apartment, but she refused because the apartment was too far away. She needed to get up early the next morning to do her makeup and she wanted to get more sleep.

 Chapter 913

    Chapter 913


    Although Mo Jin had been living closer to Luosang for a while now, she rarely spent the night because Nian Junting was always close by.


    Mo Jin renovated Luosangs room very nicely and even bought her new clothes. As a mother, she was trying her best to make it up to Luosang.


    Luosang and Xu Zhengxuan arrived together. Jin, Ill just sleep in the guest room downstairs.


    Mo Jin rolled her eyes at him. Did anyone say you could sleep here?


    Xu Zhengxuan pretended to be put on the spot. Our daughter is getting married tomorrow, and I cant possibly stay in Juntings house. When the timees for him to fetch the bride, it will be more convenient if both of her parents are here. Liuxi, what do you think?


    I dont know, its up to you. Mo Liuxi didnt even look up from his phone.


    Xu Zhengxuan:


    Mum, lets just have Dad sleep in the guest room. Luosang persuaded. There isnt a hotel around here either, so its too inconvenient for Dad to stay elsewhere. He might not be able to make it back here on time tomorrow.


    Yes, thats right. Xu Zhengxuan hurriedly nodded his head. Before Mo Jin could say anything, he quickly rolled up his sleeves. Ill make dinner for all of you today. Your mum is a sessful career woman now. She earns more than me and is younger than me, so I cant win against her in anything. I can only mooch off your mum by being hardworking.


    Luosang snorted. After spending some time with Nian Junting, her Dad had be more and more shameless.


    Luosang stole a nce at Mo Jin and saw a glint of amusement from her eyes before she suppressed it. Her heart warmed slightly. It looked like there were still high hopes for her parents to reconcile.


    Xu Zhengxuan had always been good at cooking. Now, he was getting better every day.


    The four of them rarely ate dinner as a family, so Luosang felt very blessed. She never imagined she could have aplete family.


    After dinner, Mo Liuxi holed himself up in the kitchen doing the dishes. When Luosang walked over and saw his expressionless handsome face, she coughed lightly. Susu is my bridesmaid. She wont be able toe over and apany me in time if she sets off tomorrow morning, so I invited her to stay over at our house tonight. Can you change your attitude towards her? I know that you still mind what happened thest time. I guarantee that she didnt tell me intentionally. It was me who suspected that you were gay, and to prove that you werent, she


    All right, you can stop talking. Ill stay in my roomter and note out. Mo Liuxi ced the bowl into the disinfection cab and turned around to leave.


    Luosangs head started to ache.


    At 9:00 p.m., Xu Zhengxuan went to the door to fetch Yan Su. She had just finished filming for a television show and rushed over with her suitcase, looking travel-worn. Luosang invited her to sleep in her room. The two of them hadnt chatted while lying in a bed for a long time.


    After showering, Yan Xu stared at the sophisticated and elegant wedding dress that Luosang hung in the dressing room until she was in a trance. Once upon a time, she had also thought of marrying Shi Xiang in a white dress.


    Whats wrong? You seem to have something on your mind today. Luosang joked. Can it be because Im marrying, and you cant bear me leaving?


    I definitely cant bear you leaving. Ill be alone in the apartment in the future. Yan Su sighed. After this year Ill move to a ce thepany arranges.


    Keep working hard and youll be the friend that Im the proudest of. Luosang patted her shoulder.


    Yan Su grew silent. Thepany arranged for me to participate in arge concert in Shanghai next week. At that time Shi Xiang will be going too.


    Luosang was stunned. So youre in a bad mood because of this?


    Yan Su nodded. After breaking up, Ive imagined countless scenarios of us meeting, but I never expected it to be so soon.

 Chapter 914

    Chapter 914


    You both work in music, and hes currently focusing on his career in China. Youll see each other sooner orter. Luosang sighed. Did he contact you after breaking up?


    asionally. Yan Su was upset. I became a singer because of him, but in the end, we went our separate ways. I feel sad when I see him.


    Dont you like singing at all? Luosang asked her. Dont you feel happy when your songs are heard from every street and alley?


    Yan Su paused. Luosang was right.


    She liked singing, but never thought shed be living on singing alone. It didnt feel bad though.


    They chatted until midnight.


    The next morning, the makeup artist arrived at seven for Luosang and Yan Su.


    Yan Sus makeup wasnt asplicated as the brides, so she was done quickly. As she came out of the room, Mo Jin turned to the kitchen and said, Liuxi, Si is up too. Get her some noodles.


    Aunty Mo, theres no need to Yan Su gave a start. She didnt want the noodles that Mo Liuxi made.


    Your Uncle Xu was going to make breakfast, but we found that we dont have enough red envelopes, so he went shopping for some, said Mo Jin. Liuxis noodles are great. I am sure that once you tasted them, youll want more.


    Yan Su was afraid Mo Liuxi might put poison in her food.


    Ten minutester, Mo Liuxi came out of the kitchen with four bowls of noodles.


    Mo Jin fervidly pushed one bowl of noodles to Yan Su and said, Su,e and try Liuxis noodles.


    Under Mo Liuxis cold re, Yan Su took over the noodles, stirred them and then tried some. It tasted good. It was dressed with minced meat; as good as any restaurant.


    Its good, isnt it? Mo Jin looked at her smilingly. Liuxi could heat food by himself by four-years-old and learned how to cook at six. He also washed my clothes


    Mom, can you please focus on the food? Mo Liuxi interrupted coldly.


    Mo Jin rolled her eyes, then moved closer to Yan Su and said, Su, maybe you can introduce him to some young girls from your department; if you know any. He always stays at home, and it makes me worry


    Yan Su was eating the noodles. Seeing Mo Liuxis face turn darker and darker, sheughed. Aunty Mo. You dont need to worry. Liuxi is the most popr boy in our school now. Even Chi Shengxu isnt as popr as he is. Besides, an adorable girl from the acting department is going after him. She is so nice to him that she often brings him food.


    Yan Su, stop making up stories.


    Before Mo Liuxi finished his warning, Mo Jin knocked his head with chopsticks and said, So rude. Call her sister.


    Shes not my sister, Mo Liuxi said through clenched teeth.


    She is. She is three years older than you, and she is your biological sisters best friend, Mo Jin said to him. Have you heard what I said?


    Im done. Mo Liuxi stood up and left. He would never call her sister.


    He is short-tempered, Mo Jin said to Yan Su smilingly. Su, please dont mind. Oh. How does that girl look? How old is she?


    Aunty Mo, I think shell be here today. Shes An Lans sister, Yan Su said.


    After finishing the noodles, Yan Su brought her bowl into the kitchen. Suddenly, a frosty voice was heard from behind her, Who told you to gossip with my Mom?


    Hearing his voice, Yan Su hurriedly turned around. He was moving forward at that moment, and as a result, her bowl bumped into his waist. The soup spilled all over him.

 Chapter 915

    Chapter 915


    He was the groomsman today, in grey pants and a white shirt. When the soup spilled all over him, arge part was stained. What made Mo Liuxis expression turn even darker, was that the soup dripped down along his waist and towards the middle of his legs.


    Yan Su was at a loss of what to do. She bit her lip and hurriedly backed away while holding the bowl. Im sorry, I didnt mean to.


    Do you think I should believe you? Mo Liuxi spit out each word forcefully.


    If it wasnt on purpose, why did it just spill on his waist, and make the area wet? Luckily the noodles were already finished. If the soup had been hot, he mightve been burned.


    He stared at Yan Su till her head moved back. She said innocently, Who asked you to pop up behind me out of nowhere, and so close to me too. You surprised me, thats why


    Excuse me, I dont believe you at all. Mo Liuxis handsome but cold face was taut with tension.


    This was my groomsmen outfit for today, and youve ruined it. What should I do now? There is one more hour before the groom ising over to fetch the bride.


    Yan Su felt awkward. She was also there when they tried on the groomsmen outfits and she knew that this suit was extremely expensive.


    However, that was not the priority here. The two groomsmen were decided since before and Nian Junting was extremely particr about every detail in the wedding. If he were to be missing one groomsman, he would be extremely unhappy.


    Her gazended on his waist as the white shirt was stered against it. He had such toned lines. She couldnt tell before.


    Below, the grey color pants also exposed the ridges of his groin after being sshed.


    What are you looking at? Mo Liuxi red at her warningly while hiding his vital body part with his hand.


    Yan Su:


    She wanted to say: Youve stood erect in front of me before, whats there to hide?


    Such a hypocrite. He looked cool from the outside but was a pervert on the inside.


    All right, go take your pants off. Ill wash them for you and blow-dry them using a hairdryer, Yan Su said.


    Mo Liuxis eyes narrowed. Are you sure you wont be making other moves?


    Are you paranoid? Yan Su gritted her teeth. I wont.


    Mo Liuxi hesitated for a few seconds before he started to unbutton his shirt. Although he was still young, he was toned in all the right ces. Yan Su awkwardly looked away.


    Mo Liuxi threw his shirt on her and walked out topless.


    Mo Jin walked over and was surprised. Why did you take off your shirt? Junting ising soon.


    Ask her. Mo Liuxi nced at Yan Su coldly.


    Yan Su felt very apologetic. His words made it seem as though she was a troublemaker.


    I identally spilled soup on him which dirtied his clothes. I told him Id wash and dry them for him.


    Mo Jin red at her son. Its not anything big. Just let him wash them himself. He has hands and feet. She then directed herments at Mo Liuxi saying, You must be amicable when interacting with an elder sister, do you understand?


    No, I dont, Mo Liuxi said the words coldly. I only know that people must always pay for their actions. Come to my room to get the pants in two minutes.


    He walked straight into the bedroom when he was done talking. Mo Jin felt embarrassed for her son. What girl would be able to stand him in the future?


    Susu, dont mind him. He didnt use to be this annoying. Maybe its because Sangsang is getting married today and he feels as if someone is stealing away his sister, so he is in a bad mood. Mo Jin apologized.


    Why dont you pass it to me, Ill do it.


    No its all right, youre busy too. Ill be fine. Yan Su waved her hands.

 Chapter 916

    Chapter 916


    Mo Jin was busy, so she let them do what they wanted.


    Two minutester, Yan Su walked to Mo Liuxis door. Before she knocked on the door, it opened, and Mo Liuxis trousers were thrown into her hands.


    Mo Liuxi was in pajama pants, with his upper body bare. Standing by the door, he said to her, Go and wash them. The hairdryer is in the bathroom cab. Dry them and thene to my room to get them steamed.


    Yan Su felt lucky she didnt have brothers. Nowadays, brothers could be arrogant.


    Yan Su considered herself unlucky. She brought his clothes to the bathroom to wash them. It was a little tricky to wash the oil off the fabric; she had to use a little dishwashing liquid on them.


    After drying the clothes with the hairdryer, she brought them to Mo Liuxis room.


    He was leaning on the headboard, looking at hisptop. He didnt even raise his head to look at Yan Su when she came in.


    Everybody was busy, yet he still had the time and energy to spend time with hisputer.


    Yan Suined silently.


    That was the first time she went into his room. Boys rooms were always different from girls rooms. His room was finished in simple colors. His bookcase contained a lot of CD and trophies; near the window, was a phonograph.


    Yan Su put his shirt on the garment steamer, and carefully steamed it bit by bit, up and down.


    Mo Liuxi raised his head and saw her bend over to steam the lower edge of his shirt.


    She was wearing a long, pink dress. As she bent down, the pink fabric wrapped around her hip tightly.


    Seeing this, he sensed his blood rush straight to his brain, so he hurriedly turned his eyes away.


    As she finished steaming the clothes, Yan Su put them on his bed neatly and said, Its done. Get changed.


    Alright. Mo Liuxi nced at her. She had delicious makeup on today, and her dark eyes glistened like juicy grapes. Her neck looked as tender as porcin, pretty and elegant.


    Im leaving, Yan Su quickly walked out of his room.


    She closed the door, then sighed with relief.


    After she left, Mo Liuxi picked up the shirt. It was so perfect steamed; not one wrinkle could be found.


    Back in Luosangs room, Luosangs makeup was almost done.


    What took you so long? Luosang asked Yan Su.


    There was a little event, Yan Su answered the question vaguely.


    Oh, Su. Later, you and Liuxi need to block the door. Make it hard for Nian Junting, said Luosang.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    Whats wrong?


    Yan Su gave a bitter smile and said, I just have a bad feeling.


    Luosangforted her. You dont need to do anything. Just leave it to Liuxi.


    About forty minutester, Nian Junting arrived with his friends.


    Nian Xi was a bridesmaid too, but she was also Nian Juntings sister. Therefore, she didnt take part in the door-blocking mission.


    Hearing the noises that Nian Junting and his friends made, Yan Sus brain was nk. She automatically rushed to the door to close it. Before the door was closed, Mo Liuxi squeezed in, red at her and said, I havente in yet. Why did you close the door so early?


    Why were you sote? Yan Su argued back. Mr. Nian would have stormed in if I didnt close the door.


    I was busy. Mo Liuxi locked the door, and then said to Yan Su, All you have to do is pick up the red envelopester.


    Luosang was a little worried. Mo Liuxi and Nian Junting never liked each other at all. Liuxi, dont make it too hard for your brother-inw, or we might miss the perfect timing.


    Dont worry. Im only gonna ask him to eat this te of mustard peanuts while doing one-hand pushups, Mo Liuxi took out a te from behind his back. On the te, were some green peanuts, which were covered in green mustard sauce.


    Yan Su and Luosang felt sorry for Nian Junting.

 Chapter 917

    Chapter 917


    A few minutester, Nian Junting came over to knock on the door. Yan Su,e open the door. Ive already prepared a red packet for you. If you dont open the door, youll have to live with the consequences.


    Yan Su was stressed out.


    She had already guessed that Chairman Nian would make her the target of his threats. She wasnt scared for anyone, except Chairman Nian. She looked at Mo Liuxi meekly, who gave her a warning look. At this moment, various red packets were slipped in from under the door.


    Nian Junting reminded her saying, In every red packet, I ced a hundred euros.


    Yan Sus eyes shined as she stared at the red packets. My goodness, euros.


    Luosang also stared at the red packets. This lunatic was wasting money again. Luckily, Yan Su was her best friend or else her heart would ache.


    So what if it is euros? Money is like dirt to me, Mo Liuxi said coldly.


    Yan Su coughed softly. I like dirt.


    Luosang added, I rather like it too.


    Mo Liuxi:


    These two women had no restraints. No wonder they became good friends. Nian Junting slid another stack of red packets into the room.


    Yan Su picked up the red packets and opened one of them to take a look. It was all euros, and there were at least a few dozen red packets.


    Erm how about we open the door? Look how tiring it is for Chairman Nian to be slipping red packets in from the floor.


    Mo Liuxi red at her fiercely. Do you think he may be the one slipping the red packets in? It is his assistant doing it.


    His assistant must also be having a difficult time sliding the red packets in. Yan Su felt embarrassed stopping him after receiving so much.


    Mo Liuxi couldnt be bothered to reply.


    At that moment, the sound of a loudmotion came in from outside and the door suddenly opened.


    Luosang and the rest were stunned while Mio Liuxi asked with a dark expression, How did you open the door?


    Nian Junting threw a passive nce at him. You are so underhanded; I obviously brought a locksmith.


    Everyone was speechless.


    Luosang didnt know if she shouldugh or cry. He never acted ording to what was expected.


    Nian Juntings gaze went straight to her. d in a snow-white wedding gown with her hair up in a sophisticated bun, she looked soul-wrenchingly beautiful.


    His chest warmed as he walked over. Mo Liuxi stood in his way. You cant possibly want to take my sister away so easily. If you truly love her and think that she is precious, you will do push-ups with one hand and finish this te of wasabi peanuts. I will respect you, and I believe she will be touched when she recalls this wedding day in the future.


    Nian Junting quietly looked towards Luosang. Do you think so too?


    Luosang felt awkward. On one hand was her husband, on the other was her brother. She couldnt pick either of them.


    Alright, Ill do it. Nian Junting saw her keeping silent and nodded his head.


    Doing push-ups with only one hand was a piece of cake to him but eating so many peanuts one by one would be difficult. He would rather eat a whole mouthful of peanuts every time he went down while doing the push-ups.


    Everyone was shocked.


    Mo Liuxis eyes glinted with a small bit of admiration. He had covered the peanuts with a lot of wasabi. It was so spicy the moment Nian Junting bit down, his head felt like exploding.


    However, he had been a soldier, so his endurance was first-rate. He forced himself to keep his cool and finished eating all the peanuts. When he stood up, his handsome face waspletely red from the spiciness, and tears wereing out of his eyes.


    However, he still took the bouquet from Xiao Si and kneeled on one knee in front of Luosang. Luo, will you marry me? This lifetime, Ill take care of all your fruit peels and beef noodles.


    Luosangs eyes stung slightly. She didnt say anything, but only got off from the bed, bent over at her waist and lightly kissed his lips.

 Chapter 918

    Chapter 918


    He could be so annoying sometimes, but she didnt want him to suffer any pain.


    Seeing him being tortured by the mustard made her nervous.


    Nian Junting paused briefly, then put his arms around her, gave her a deep kiss, and then put her wedding shoes on her.


    He took a few pictures with her in the room, then carried her, walking out in big steps.


    Yan Su picked up her party dress and followed behind them. Mo Liuxi blocked her way and said to her, Wheres my red envelopes?


    Yan Su was surprised. Doesnt money mean anything to you?


    Yes, but Ill take every penny that I deserve, Mo Liuxi responded ndly and reasonably.


    Yan Su didnt want to argue with him, so she opened her purse and said, Just take them.


    Mo Liuxi nced at her purse, then reached out a hand and took away a thick wad of red envelopes, only leaving one in Yan Sus purse.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    Mo Liuxi put all the red envelopes in his trousers pockets, then turned and left.


    Yan Su couldnt believe it. Her face reddened with anger. She followed him and asked, Why do I only get one?


    Yeah. Mo Liuxi nodded and responded calmly, You didnt do anything but pick up the envelopes. So I left you one, to thank you for getting them.


    Yan Su took a deep breath. She was unhappy, yet she still wanted to seem polite. After all, she was three years older than him. Like you have contributed a lot. You only made him eat a te of mustard peanuts.


    Yeah. Do you know how hard it was to put the mustard sauce on every peanut? Mo Liuxi nced at her, then left with a smile.


    Looking at his back, Yan Su breathed deeply, and told herself to be calm. She had lost thousands of euros, as much as tens of thousands of Chinese yuan.


    Tens of thousands


    She was extremely upset


    As the two houses were close to each other, Nian Junting carried Luosang and made a circle in the neighborhood. Following behind them were Rolls-Royces. It was a rare and grand scene.


    Back at Tianhu Vi, Luosang found that it was decorated withnterns and streamers.


    Their bedroom was tastefully decorated as well. Luosang didnt even recognize it at first.


    ording to the tradition, they left for the hotel at ten. The wedding car was a limo and the bride, bridesmaids, groom, and groomsmen were all in the same car.


    Nian Xi said to Mo Liuxi and Yan Su, You two received so many red envelopes, and I didnt get anything. Shouldnt you share with me?


    Yan Su turned to Mo Liuxi.


    Mo Liuxi took some out from his trousers pocket and handed them to Nian Xi.


    Wow. Twenty. Liuxi, thank you, Nian Xi said delightfully. I have a fortune.


    Yan Su stayed silent. She was very unhappy, as Mo Liuxi treated her and Nian Xi so differently.


    Mo Liuxi then handed ten to Xiao Su.


    Thank you! Xiao Su patted him on the shoulder.


    No one was short of money. Everyone wanted the red envelopes because they represented good luck.


    Yan Su silently turned her eyes away from Mo Liuxi. She didnt want to look at him anymore, as she didnt want to be angrier.


    She decided she wouldpletely ignore him when she saw him again.


    Nian Junting gave Yan Su a meaningful nce, then looked at Mo Liuxi.


    He clearly remembered the number of red envelopes he prepared.


    As Mo Liuxis trousers pocket was still bulging, Nian Junting assumed he still had a lot of red envelopes, even though he had just given some to Nian Xi and Xiao Si. Maybe Yan Su got one or two, if any.


    This young man is even more shameless than I am. He bullies women, Nian Junting thought.

 Chapter 919

    Chapter 919


    After reaching the hotel, Nian Junting brought Mo Liuxi and Xiao Si with him to receive guest downstairs. Luosang went upstairs to fix her makeup.


    After the women went upstairs, Nian Junting walked until he was in front of Mo Liuxi and thoughtfully said, Lad, as someone who is experienced, let me tell you that you shouldnt be too shameless sometimes. You might not be able to find a girlfriend.


    Mo Liuxi looked at him from head to toe a few times and replied, If even you could find one, surely I can.


    He turned and walked to the door to receive guests.


    Nian Junting stared at his back with a hateful re.


    Xiao Si walked over and ced one arm over his shoulder. He isnt wrong.


    Nian Junting coldly shrugged Xiao Sis hand off. Im not close to you.


    Not close, yet he still asked Xiao Si to be his groomsman. Xiao Si grated his teeth.


    He saw Ji Nuanyi walk over in a snow-white and green chiffon skirt. Her appearance immediately caused amotion in the hotel. In addition to the guests, the hotel staff also started taking photos of her.


    Ill settle the score with you on another day, Xiao Si said as he red at Nian Junting.


    His expression instantly changed into a handsome smile as he walked toward Ji Nuanyi. Just as a guest was about to ask Ji Nuanyi for her number, Xiao Si walked over and blocked him. Excuse me, please dont disturb mypanys artiste.


    As if he was her knight, he immediately started guarding her. Why did youe over by yourself? Wheres your assistant?


    I thought that since its Chairman Nian getting married, the security measures would be very good, so I didnt ask her toe. Plus, arent you here too? Ji Nuanyi smiled as she looked at him and said, Your suit is very nice.


    Herpliments made Xiao Sis face grow hot. He replied, Your dress looks good too. Today, I will be your knight. Lets go, Ill take you to Luosang and the rest.


    Xiao Si escorted her as they walked forward. Ji Nuanyi gave a red packet and went to congratte Nian Junting before preparing to go upstairs with Xiao Si to see the bride.


    They had only walked a few steps when Xiao Si was dragged back by his clothes by Nian Junting. His eyebrows were raised as he stared at Xiao Si and asked, Arent you my groomsman who apanies me to receive guests over here?


    Nuanyi is a guest, too, Xiao Si lightly said.


    Im not asking you to receive only her, Nian Junting gritted his teeth. If Xiao Si wanted to flirt, he could do itter.


    When Ji Nuanyi saw the situation, she said, I can go upstairs by myself. Anyways Ille down once Ive given my greetings.


    Alright, Ill sit with youter, save me a ce, Xiao Si reluctantly said as he returned to Nian Juntings side.


    He looked at Nian Junting and said, Ive finally managed to meet her. Can you not disturb me chasing women?


    Ive finally managed to get married. Can you chase womenter? Nian Junting replied with a poker face.


    Xiao Si thought, You win this round.


    Mo Liuxi stood at the door for 10 minutes. An Lan came with An Ning, who happily ran over once she saw him. Liuxi, you look so handsome today.


    He could see her boy-crazy gaze and was troubled. Why did youe?


    I happened to have an off-day today, so I came with my sister to attend the wedding, An Ning said with a smile. Plus, I havent seen you for quite a few days


    An Lan suddenly walked over from the back and grabbed An Ning with one hand. She apologetically said, Excuse us, this brat came to disturb you again.

 Chapter 920. Nian Xi, I Never Changed My Heart. You?

    Chapter 920. Nian Xi, I Never Changed My Heart. You?


    Mo Liuxi frowned, and stayed silent.


    An Lan brought An Ning to congratte Nian Junting.


    As the two of them left, Nian Junting said to Xiao Si, An Lans sister is going to suffer.


    Xiao Si had known An Lan for a long time. He thought for a moment, then said, An Ning is pretty adorable.


    Mo Liuxi nced at him and said, Maybe you should be with her.


    Xiao Si didnt know how to respond.


    He considered himself unlucky, as he had to greet the guests with the two men.


    They are so alike, and now theyve be family, he thought.


    Soon, Feng Ji Chuan arrived. He brought two envelopes. Shuangwei isnt here. She asked me to bring you a red envelope.


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a few seconds, then nodded.


    He still felt guilty for the fact that Leng Shuangwei lost her chance of being a mother because of him.


    Wheres Nian Xi? Feng Ji Chuan asked.


    Upstairs.


    Feng Ji Chuan nodded, then went upstairs for Nian Xi.


    The girls were taking pictures. As Ji Nuanyi came in, they surrounded her and took even more photos.


    Feng Ji Chuan walked over. Immediately, Nian Xi saw him and frowned.


    Congrattions. Feng Ji Chuan nodded at Luosang, then turned to Nian Xi. The look in his eyes changed slightly as he said, Nian Xi, you look perfect in that dress.


    He felt a little bitter. If they hadnt canceled their wedding, theyd be married long ago. She wouldnt have be someone elses bridesmaid.


    Thank you, Nian Xi replied with a confused feeling.


    Jiang Yuning Feng Ji Chuan said.


    Hell get out, Nian Xi interrupted him.


    Em. Feng Ji Chuan nodded. The Director had told me about that. I think hell get out in a couple of days.


    Really? Nian Xis eyes glowed.


    Feng Ji Chuan was a little ufortable. She rarely cared about other guys. The Director told me a lot. Come out and Ill tell you.


    Nian Xi followed him out of the room. After all, Jiang Yunings case was confidential. It was reasonable for Feng Ji Chuan to be careful about who heard about it.


    The two of them walked out of the room together. In the hallway, Feng Ji Chuan stopped, looked at Nian Xi with a confused expression and asked, Nian Xi, I heard from Huo Lizhi that you two shared a room in Paris?


    Werent you telling me about Jiang Yuning? Nian Xi spent a few seconds looking at him with a frown, then said, You lied to me.


    Do you care so much about him? Feng Ji Chuan wasnt happy. Nian Xi, I never changed my heart. You?


    Jiang Yuning is my friend. I think he is a nice person, and I might fall in love with him. Nian Xi felt annoyed. Maybe you never changed your heart, but we have broken up. I clearly remember why we broke up. Dont tell me that youve forgotten about it.


    The project that Jiang Yuning is working on, is very dangerous. I think you should stay away from him. Im saying this for your own good, Feng Ji Chuan said word by word. He is going to get bailed out, but he cante back for a few months, at least. Nian Xi, whatever is happening between you two, you should end it. I say these words to you, not only because youre my ex-girlfriend, but also because I want you to be safe. After all, we grew up together.


    I get it. Nian Xi lowered her head, turned and walked back into the room.


    Feng Ji Chuan looked at her walking away, thinking about what Huo Lizhi said. He said that Jiang Yuning liked to spend time with Nian Xi, he brought her everywhere he went, and they pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend. They even held hands and shared a room.


    Feng Ji Chuan felt he was being tortured, even though he knew that nothing happened between Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning.


    He decided he wanted to win her back.


    At midnight, the wedding officially started. Xu Zhengxuan held Luosangs hands and slowly walked onto the stage.


    Nian Junting stood on the other end of the stage. Seeing Luosang walk to him, he felt happier than ever.

 Chapter 921. Wedding

    Chapter 921. Wedding


    Xu Zhengyuan ced Luosangs dainty hand into Nian Juntings hands.


    Thank you, Dad. Nian Junting held on to Luosangs hand. He turned around and began to leave.


    The officiant hurriedly said, Wait, Mr. Nian, Im not done reciting the script. Please take it slower. Anyway, you already have the bride, so she wont run away.


    The audience burst outughing. Luosang blushed.


    Nian Junting was unhappy. He thought, Where in the world is this officiant from? So much bbering. For wedding ceremonies, couldnt the crucial momente sooner?


    The officiant nagged for a long time before finally reaching the part where rings were exchanged. After Nian Junting slid the ring onto Luosangs finger, he immediately pulled her into his embrace and bent down to kiss her lips, roughly savoring her sweetness.


    Luosang was just getting married, yet she was already being kissed as if she were going through a storm.


    Originally, the kiss ceremony was only one minute. Nian Junting forcefully dragged it on for three minutes. When it was over, his handsome face stared lovingly at Luosang as he said, My wife, I love you.


    Luosangs heart started thumping.


    Thest part of the ceremony was tossing the bouquet. Luosang had discussed it earlier with her two bridesmaids, Yan Su was the youngest. Since she didnt have ns to marry just yet, the bouquet would be given to Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi agreed. At the time when the bouquet would be tossed, she would stand at the ce closest to the stage.


    When Luosang threw the bouquet toward her, just as it was about tond in Nian Xis hands, someone suddenly came out from behind and jumped up to snatch it. However, no one got the bouquet. Someone pped it away.


    Itnded on thep of Yan Su, who was sitting at the banquet table resting. She picked up the bouquet, a little stunned.


    Nian Xi was also stunned. She wanted to weep but was too frustrated for tears toe out. She thought, Why am Iso unlucky? Forget that Im already getting older, but I couldnt even catch the bouqueting straight at me.


    it looked like she would be getting married eventer than Yan Su.


    Luosang was also taken aback for a moment and helplessly looked at Nian Xi.


    After the ceremony had ended, Luosang went backstage to change into a cocktail dress. With an exceedingly pretty face, she told Nian Junting, The ceremony that we rehearsed yesterday ispletely different. You messed up the rhythm.


    Nian Junting was in a good mood. He hugged her while he carelesslymented, When I saw you standing in front of me looking so pretty, I forgot everything.


    Alright, you win this round, Luosang said.


    As she spoke, Nian Xi said, Sangsang, youre the greatest. Youve trained even my sharp-tongued brother to be able to say sweet words.


    Luosang pursed her lips and smiled. If he is still as mean to me as before even after getting married, he will think twice.


    Nian Junting wanted to say that everything he had said was the truth, but he was afraid that his new wife would be unhappy. He forced himself to stay quiet.


    Nian Xi watched on enviously and sighed.


    Luosang patted her shoulder and said, Its alright. Its just a bouquet.


    Yan Su also felt guilty. Why dont I give you the flowers?


    Nian Xi shook her head. You didnt even try to catch the flowers and it stillnded in yourp. That means youre destined to have it. Hold on to it well. It looks like your fated partner will being soon.


    Yan Su smiled bitterly and said, Thats impossible, right now, I dont have the mood to date at all.


    This kind of thing is not up to you, Nian Xi said. When destiny arrives you cant block it even if you want it. It looks like I have a long time before getting married. Ill wait.


    Dont overthink this, Yan Su said. I have decided to get married only when Im 30. Itll definitely beter than you.


    Dont be too sure, Nian Xi said with a smile. I have a friend who said the same thing. In the end, she got married right after graduation. She said that when you meet the person that you really want to marry, all principles and ns are broken.

 Chapter 922. I Have Dimples, Ill Always Smile For You

    Chapter 922. I Have Dimples, I''ll Always Smile For You


    Yan Su didnt take her words seriously. She had wasted years on her rtionship. She hadnt gotten over it yet, and she didnt believe in love anymore.


    Nian Junting and Luosang changed into formal wear, then started to make toasts with all the guests, table by table. Since Luosang was pregnant, she was drinking water. A lot of Nian Juntings army friends hade to the wedding. They were all good at drinking and even dragged over Nian Junting, pouring liquor into his mouth, ss by ss. They only released him when he was drunk. Luosang couldnt stop them.


    As Nian Juntings groomsman and best friend, Xiao Si sat by Ji Nuanyis side, refusing to drink any alcohol. He was soon dragged off his seat by a group of friends and got very drunk.


    After the meal, Ji Nuanyi went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, preparing to leave.


    Xiao Si nced at her back, then abruptly stood up, stuttering, I have made up my mind. Today, I will make her my girlfriend.


    Luosang gave a start. Eh Calm down


    Before she finished, Xiao Si pped the table, stood up and then shambled toward the bathroom.


    Luosang attempted to stop him, but Nian Junting didnt let her. Let him go while hes drunk, or hell never have the guts to tell her about his feelings. Hes such a coward. All he can do is stay at home, looking at dirty magazines.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    In fact, she was worried that Xiao Si might follow Ji Nuanyi into thedies room.


    In thedies room, Ji Nuanyi took out her foundation powder, and carefully observed herself in the mirror to see which part of her makeup needed to be fixed.


    It wasnt easy being a star. People might take pictures of her at any moment. She always needed to be gorgeous.


    An Lan came over to wash her hands. Seeing Ji Nuanyi, she smiled and said, Miss. Ji, you are prettier than your photos.


    Ji Nuanyi knew her as the legal adviser of Shengting. Currently, she was in charge of many cases that were rted to Yuxi. Ji Nuanyi had met An Lan a few times in Yuxi.


    Miss Lan, you are pretty too, she said. Ive heard about the case of Sangsangs father. You were amazing.


    Thank you. Can I have your signature? My mom is a fan of yours. An Lan took out her notebook.


    Once Ji Nuanyi signed her name, the door was opened violently.


    Xiao Si bumped into the wall, along with the door.


    A few otherdies who were washing their hands were frightened, and hurriedly ran out.


    Ji Nuanyi frowned slightly. An Lan put the notebook back into her pause, then walked to Xiao Si and reminded him kindly saying, Mr. Xiao, youre in the wrong ce. This is thedies room


    I am where I need to be. I want to be here. Xiao Si leaned against the door. His legs were trembling. Hearing An Lans voice, he suddenly grasped her hands and said, Nuanyi, Im here for you.


    An Lan was surprised. She nced at Ji Nuanyi, then gave a faint smile and said, I


    Dont, dont say anything. Xiao Si raised his head. The world in his eyes was spinning, and the people he saw were blurred. His brain was even burning. Nuanyi, he said. I am your boss. Now, I order you, to be my girlfriend. I know you love money. Its okay. Youll make a lot of money. You want the Oscar award? Fine. Ill invest in films for you. You see? You cant always focus on your work. You need to fall in love, or, your beauty would be wasted.


    An Lan didnt know how to react. Mr. Xiao she said.


    I havent finished yet, Xiao Si interrupted her and said, I think we are a good match for each other. You like food, so do I. You are pretty, and Im handsome; I have dimples. Ill always smile for you.

 Chapter 923. She Lowered Her Head and Pressed Her Lips Lightly to Xiao Sis Mouth

    Chapter 923. She Lowered Her Head and Pressed Her Lips Lightly to Xiao Si''s Mouth


    When he finished, he squeezed out a smile. Two dimples came into view. Looking at his silly face, An Lanughed until her tummy hurt.


    She turned around to look at Ji Nuanyi, whose face was flushed red, and said, Ms. Ji, that person confessed to you. You shouldnt be just standing there.


    Ji Nuanyi coughed awkwardly and walked over.


    Chairman Xiao, youre mistaken, Im An Lan, An Lan good-naturedly said. Your Nuanyi is over here.


    She ced Xiao Sis hand into Ji Nuanyis hand.


    Xiao Si was taken aback for a moment. He couldnt see the person clearly. He could only bend down to feel her hands.


    Yes, this does indeed feel like Nianyis hands, he said. They are not so coarse.


    She should have ced his hand into the toilet bowl.


    Im leaving, you guys can continue, An Lan said as she closed the door for the two of them.


    As she was walking out, she thought for a while and ced a Maintenance Work in Progress sign outside the toilet door in case anyone disturbed them.


    Nuanyi, Im sorry, Im drunk Very drunk. Xiao Si raised his head. His lips parted as heughed in a silly manner. You see, can we give us a shot? When I saw you for the first time in Shanghai, I thought you were very special. In the past six months, I went to An City frequently because I wanted to see you, but you were too busy. I always missed you. I heard that your familys situation is not very good, so you work very hard to earn money. My heart aches for you, but I still want us to date.


    Ji Nuanyis heart was a little touched. She looked down toward him. She could still vividly remember the first time she saw him. Back then, he was sitting next to Luosang. She mistakenly thought he was her boyfriend.


    After, Nian Junting came along. Although he was also very handsome, between the two, she still liked Xiao Sis clean vibe better. When he smiled, his lips were red against his white teeth. He even had dimples. He looked approachable.


    Although they didnt spend much time together, she had heard that he was a very self-regted man who didnt partake in gambling or prostitutes. That was already very rare in this circle.


    Perhaps she had reached a time when she should date. If she had to try dating, Xiao Si was not a bad candidate.


    Alright. She lowered her head and pressed her lips lightly to Xiao Sis mouth.


    She had shot many kissing scenes, but this was her first kiss with her own boyfriend.


    At 3 p.m., Nian Junting was sent back to the vi by Mo Liuxi. He was already so drunk that he couldnt walk straight.


    Luosang had never seen him that drunk.


    When he woke up, it was 3 a.m. Nian Junting opened his eyes and nced at the woman in his arms underneath the auspicious red duvet.


    It took him a long time to sober up and look at the time. It was already the next day. He was speechless. He wanted to be sweet and tender on his wedding night, but he had slept like a log.


    He thought, That bunch of good-for-nothing friends.


    His wife was drunk, and he couldnt wake her up.


    When she finally awoke, her nightdress waspletely pulled down. She looked at Nian Junting with both love and frustration.


    My wife, good morning, youre awake. Nian Junting smiled widely at her.


    This was the first day of their marriage. Luosang decided to let him do what he wanted.


    At 8 a.m., Xiao Si came over. He was hungover and wanted to mooch off some breakfast, Just how much did I drink yesterday? I was so drunk that I only woke up at six this morning.


    Nian Junting ate a mouthful of hot porridge and said, Congrattions.


    I drank so much that my stomach hurts, yet you congratte me. Xiao Si unabashedly took a piece of pastry and ate it.

 Chapter 924. I Heard That I Asked You to Be My Girlfriend Yesterday

    Chapter 924. I Heard That I Asked You to Be My Girlfriend Yesterday


    Nian Junting made eye contact with Luosang, then dropped his spoon. He carefully looked at Xiao Si for a few seconds, and said, Stop pretending. You should be happy now.


    Xiao Si was very confused. Why should I be happy?


    Luosang reminded him with a faint smile saying, Did you forget that you were drunk and broke into thedies room to ask Nuanyi to be your girlfriend yesterday?


    Xiao Si was so shocked that he had to make an effort to swallow the food in his mouth. I really went into thedies room?


    Luosang nodded and said, Yes. You scared the girls in thedies room. You asked An Lan to be your girlfriend because you thought she was Nuanyi. Nuanyi was there, so An Lan put your hand into Nuanyis hand, and then kindly closed the door for you two before leaving.


    Xiao Si put both hands on his forehead in shock and said, Stop lying to me. How could I possibly do something like that?


    Nian Junting nced at him and said, Isnt that good? You always flirted with her but never made a step forward. Youd never get her.


    Xiao Si put his forehead on the table. The good impression that he left with Ji Nuanyi was ruined. So did I seed or not? How did I end up at home?


    Nian Junting shrugged andughed saying, Ji Nuanyi helped you out of thedies room, and then asked Feng Ji Chuan to send her boyfriend back home.


    Xiao Xi immediately raised his head and looked at him with disbelief.


    It was like the lotterypany called him and told him that he had won a hundred million dors.


    Congrattions. Luosang smilingly raised her cup of milk.


    Are you guys fooling me? Xiao Si still didnt believe them.


    Believe it or not, said Nian Junting ndly. Anyway, dont hide in your room and watch dirty films or magazines anymore.


    Shut up. You are not allowed to tell anyone about that. Xiao Si hurriedly stood up, then called Ji Nuanyi.


    Mr. Xiao Ji Nuanyis sleepy voice was heard from the phone. Why did you call me so early?


    Hearing her call him Mr. Xiao, Xiao Si was a little disappointed. I heard that I have a girlfriend now. Is that true?


    Ji Nuanyi stayed silent.


    Xiao Si coughed slightly, then continued, I heard that I asked you to be my girlfriend yesterday, and you said yes.


    Yes you did, but I didnt say yes. You are still a single man. Ji Nuanyi then ended the call.


    Xiao Si stared at the phone in a daze, until Luosang reminded him saying, Just go to the hotel to apologize to her. You asked her to be your girlfriend, and you forgot about it. I wouldnt even say a word to you if I was her.


    Xiao Si finally came back to his senses. He sprung up from the chair and rushed out, without saying a word.


    I cant believe he got himself a girlfriend. After all, he has terrible EQ. Lucky man, said Nian Junting.


    Luosang rolled her eyes. In her opinion, Xiao Sis EQ was much higher than Nian Juntings. That was why Xiao Si was in charge of all the social connections of Shengting. And Xiao Si wasnt as shameless as Nian Junting.


    That afternoon, Xiao Si posted a photo of two hands holding on WeChat moment  Its so nice. I am now a man who has a girlfriend.


    Nian Xi Who? What did I miss?


    Nian Junting Congrattions. Finally! You dont need to hide in your room and read bikini magazines anymore.


    Ji Nuanyi Bikini magazines?


    Xiao Si replied to Nian Junting Do not defame me.


    Nian Junting When will youe here to pick up that pile of limited-edition trash that you gave me? I hate them


    Luosang read his message, then looked at Nian Junting and said, Do you have to do that to your friend?


    Nian Junting crossed his legs and said, For some reason, I always wanted to watch him suffer with love.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Maybe you guys should be together, Luosang thought. Ji Nuanyi and I will quit the game.

 Chapter 925. It Hurts

    Chapter 925. It Hurts


    In the afternoon, Yan Su finished Professor Xies sses and was about to stand up when Gao Hang, the student council president from the same course, walked over.


    Susu, its my birthday in two days, he said. Why donte with us for dinner and karaoke? Im already in my fourth year. Since youre normally so busy, there arent many opportunities to meet.


    Two days? Yan Su considered it.


    She and Gao Hang had been through four years of university together. As the president of the student council, he had looked after her. Although she was famous now, she couldnt reject all invitations.


    Im attending an event in the afternoon that day, she replied. It might already be 6 or 7p.m. by the time I return to Xia City. I probably wont be able to make it for dinner.


    Alright, lets just sing karaoke together, Gao Hang said with a smile. Just show up. Ill wait for you to cut the cake. Dont worry, its all people you know from the course.


    Yan Su nodded. When she walked out of the ssroom, her car was already waiting for her.


    After she got onto the car, her assistant, Jiaojiao, passed the program schedule to her and said, This is the lineup for tomorrow nights g. Take a look. You are No. 17. It will probably be around 10 p.m. when youre up.


    Yan So saw that were 20 singers performing. The first to perform was a well-established, diva-level singer from Hong Kong. The one ending the show was Shi Xiag.


    When she saw the words Shi Xiang, her heart instantly felt like it was being squeezed by someone.


    It cant be helped, Jiaojiao said. Although Shi Xiang had that negative scandal about throwing his weight around, his fans are too obsessed. His poprity is still very high. It also happens to be K-pop style this time, so the organizers let him end the show. That way the audience has something to look forward to. This is in case the viewership at night is affected.


    Yan Su stayed silent. She understood. Since Shi Xiang had be famous, every time he participated in an event, he was always either the opener or closer.


    Youre not bad either, Jiaojiao said with a smile. Your performance time is closer to the back. Youre very popr now. Among those performing tomorrow youre probably in the top 10.


    Top 10


    A wave of bitterness rose as she asked, Say, how much difference is there between me and Shi Xiang?


    Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before truthfully saying, Susu, youre treading the path of a singer with real ability. Although Shi Xiang sings, he is packaged by those people in Korea. He cannot be counted as a singer that purely depends on ability. He can only be called an idol singer. There are more die-hard female fans now, so in that aspect, male celebrities have the upper hand. He is very popr in Asia.


    I understand. Yan Su lowered her head.


    Dont think too much, Jiaojiao said. Youre an ability-based singer, so whats there topare with an idol singer like him? I heard that Shi Xiang is even preparing to take up acting. Im guessing he will probably be developing in other areas in the future. Youre different. Ourpany wants to develop you into a real diva-level singer.


    Yan Su looked out of the window. She recalled that Shi Xiang had said he wanted to be a singer. Now, he was not only a singer, he even nned to be an actor. What happened to his dream of being a pure singer?


    Susu, could it be that you dont like thepanys ns? Jiaojiao saw that she didnt seem to be happy.


    No Yan Su shook her head. I prefer to only sing.


    Singing is good. Compared to acting, the circle is at least not asplicated, but singing doesnt earn nearly as much as acting, Jiaojiao said. Perhaps that is why Shi Xiang is going to act. Acting in one show would earn him more than what he would by singing for two years.


    Yes, money, Yan Su shook her head with disappointment.


    Perhaps money was the real reason why a person would change.

 Chapter 926. Shi Xu Is Here

    Chapter 926. Shi Xu Is Here


    After two hours on the ne, they arrived in Beijing.


    The next morning, at 9:00 a.m., the television stations car came to pick up Yan Su. They headed to the gymnasium for the rehearsal.


    Many artists had already arrived. Some of them were singers, and some were actors and actresses, who were good at singing too.


    Yan Su browsed the list of names. Many famous artists hadnt arrived yet. The artists who were currently there werent that well-known.


    She was the third one to rehearse.


    Jiaojiao said to her, You are popr now, but youre new in this circle. Lets be polite and cooperative. Lets be good team yers and do what the crew wants. Hopefully, well earn a good reputation through this show. Those big stars havent arrived because they are too busy, and also because they want people to wait.


    Yan Su understood.


    She didntpare herself to the big stars just because she was getting popr. She was different and had a good mindset.


    She never felt that being popr would give her the right to act like a diva. Yan Su was born with a beautiful voice, and she was young.


    She sang three songs in a row, with no problem. She then had a short conversation with the band about the rhythm, but other than that, there was no problem at all.


    Soon, she returned to the hotel to rest. That afternoon, Yan Su came back at 3:00 p.m.


    By then, many big stars had arrived.


    Ji Nuanyi was sitting among a group of people, reading lyrics while drinking coffee.


    Yan Su walked over to her and greeted her with a smile. Miss. Ji, nice to see you again.


    Ji Nuanyi raised her head and responded with, Good to see you too. I heard from Director Cheng what you have done with the rehearsal. You, as a professional singer, are seriously amazing. I have rehearsed five times, and Im always singing off-key. Mypany has made a very wrong decision. Im already busy as an actress, yet they insist on making me sing.


    Yan Su gave her a suggestion. You can record the song in the recording studio, then get it adjusted. During the show, you only need to pretend to be singing. Many actors and actresses do that.


    Are you saying that I should fake it? Ji Nuanyi frowned and shook her head. No. I have to sing it for real. I need to let them know how awful I am at singing, so theyll never ask me to sing again.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    As she fell into silence, Ji Nuanyiughed. I was kidding.


    Nuanyi, its your turn, her manager called out.


    Ill talk to youter. Ji Nuanyi quickly ran onto the stage.


    As a professional singer, Yan Su listened to Ji Nuanyi singing, and then had only one thought left in her mind That is seriously off-key.


    Jiaojiao sighed. Fortunately, for a big star like Ji Nuanyi, her fans wont care how terrible she is at singing. Seeing her will make many people crazy as it is.


    Suddenly, a staff members voice was heard from the outside. Shi Xiang is here.


    Yan Sus heart twitched slightly. She turned back and saw Shi Xiang in white casual pants, a ck t-shirt, and a white baseball hat. His hair was dyed brown. Glowing, he walked over, followed by two assistants.


    His assistant had a short conversation with Wang Ke, the chief director. Afterward, Director Wang said, Whos next? Zhao Tian? You cane hereter. Let Shi Xiang rehearse first.


    Zhao Tian wasnt happy. Director Wang, Ive been waiting long.


    Just let him do it first. Shi Xiang must have dinner with the emceeter, said Wang Ke with an unfriendly tone. Besides, why didnt youe here this morning? Look at Yan Su. She finished rehearsal this morning.


    Zhao Tian sneered with anger, then turned and walked away.


    Yan Su frowned slightly. Shi Xiang looked around and saw her but turned his eyes away. Soon many other artists walked over to him and greeted him. They seemed to know each other.

 Chapter 927. No Wonder People Called Ji Nuanyi a Workaholic

    Chapter 927. No Wonder People Called Ji Nuanyi a Workaholic


    Do you want to go up and say hello? Jiaojiao asked.


    Yan Su shook her head. What for? Will he be able to help me gain poprity or earn more money? Star Music has given me sufficient resources to go further.


    Jiaojiao gave her a thumbs up. Su, you are so cool.


    Yan Su grimaced. She just didnt want to face Shi Xiang.


    After rehearsing for about 30 minutes, Shi Xiang headed out for dinner with the main emcee of the show. The other artists were all having the deluxe bento boxes prepared for them by the broadcastingpany.


    Yan Su was sitting at the same table as Ji Nuanyi.


    Miss Ji, why didnt you go out and have lunch with them? Yan Su asked.


    I want to read the script, Ji Nuanyi retrieved a thick manuscript from her bag. Besides, I dont enjoy superficial small talk over meals as much as they do.


    Yan Su really admired her. It was no wonder people called Ji Nuanyi a workaholic. She really lived up to her reputation.


    At 8 p.m., the grand ceremony began. It was chaos backstage.


    Ji Nuanyi was fourth in the lineup. After she sang her song, she promptly left the event.


    Yan Su was resting in a corner when she heard a few singers ramble on beside her.


    Why isnt Shi Xiang here yet? Zhao Tian asked.


    Hes probably here, said another singer, Wei Man. He might just be chatting with corporate upstairs.


    Isnt he just an idol that debuted in Korea? Why do they pay so much attention to him anyway? someone enviously asked.


    I think they are more interested in his supporters, Zhao Tian said with a chuckle.


    Yan Su was stunned.


    I heard he managed tond his CEOs daughter, Zhao Tian softly whispered.


    Impossible! Wei Han was shocked. Are you only saying that because youre still upset that Shi Xiang stole your rehearsal slot?


    Why would I lie to you for? Zhao Tian asked. I was in Korea for training when I met a junior from hispany. He was extremely upset when he was talking about him because he felt that it was unfair that thepany had channeled all their resources to Shi Xiang. Anyway, many people in thepany noticed that the CEOs daughter would go look for him whenever he was back in Korea. They looked really close. Pany people in thepany know about this.


    No wonder he rose to his fame so quickly over these years, another singer remarked. He even has his own studio here in China.


    Alright, stop gossiping about him since he has a powerful supporter, Wei Han said. Were still too insignificant. Someone could easily sabotage our careers.


    None of them said a word after that.


    Yan Sus hands were trembling when she took another sip of her coffee. She couldnt even taste the bitterness of the drink anymore. She believed what they had said. Luosang had mentioned that Young Missy before.


    Her point was proven. She used to think that it might have been a misunderstanding. Now, she was just a fool who was yed.


    She sat there in a daze for a while before Jiaojiao came up to her when it was nearing her turn. She stood up and sang three songs.


    When she got off the stage to leave, she saw Shi Xiang sitting at the dressing table. They made eye contact through the reflection in the mirror.


    Yan Su took her phone from her assistant. There was a message from a familiar but foreign number: Wait for me. We havent seen each other in 315 days. Wait for me in front of the bathroom.


    She put down her phone and left the station with her assistant. Late that night, she lowered the car window. The wind tousled her long, ck hair.

    Chapter 928. She Saw the Outstanding Mo Liuxi in the Crowd


    Su, are you feeling unwell? asked Jiaojiao. Even though you didnt sing off-key, you could do better.


    Emm, Im just in a bad mood, said Yan Su with a deep voice.


    Jiaojiao didnt ask anything further. Every artist had their own secrets.


    Back at the hotel, Yan Su spent the whole night sitting behind the French window.


    Shi Xiang called her, but she didnt answer her phone.


    The next day, the dark circles under Yan Sus eyes gave Jiaojiao a shock. Didnt you sleepst night?


    I couldnt sleep well in a strange ce. Yan Su asked the makeup artist to give her thick undereye makeup.


    That afternoon, after attending the event, she flew back to Xia City.


    Gao Hang called to invite her somewhere, but she didnt want to go. However, her schedule was known by a lot of people, and she had promised to go, so she asked the chauffeur to drive her there.


    The ce that Gao Hang booked was called Club No.5, a fancy ce in Xia City.


    Jiaojiao, dont wait up for me. Just take a taxi home. Some of my ssmates are here, so I can ask them to drive me, Yan Su said when getting out of the car.


    All right. Be careful. Call me immediately if you need any help. You didnt sleep wellst night, so go home early, Jiaojiao said to her, then left.


    Yan Su went to Gao Hangs VIP room.


    Gao Hangs family was rich, so he booked a luxurious room. Yan Su pushed the door open and walked in. About twenty people were in the room, chatting andughing. Yan Su wasnt surprised. Gao Hang was the student president and very social. He had a lot of friends. However, Yan Su started feeling ufortable when she saw the outstanding Mo Liuxi in the crowd.


    Ever since Luosangs wedding, she had been trying her best to stay away from that little devil.


    Su, youre here! Once she showed up, many of her schoolmates greeted her. Before, she was not popr among her peers, especially when she had an issue with Ye Chuen. She was even isted once. However, now that she was a popr singer, those people tried to get closer to her.


    Yan Su was clearly aware who were fake friends and who were real.


    Su, I heard that you attended the grand ceremony in Beijing yesterday. Youre amazing. Many stars were there, including Shi Xiang and Ji Nuanyi, said one of her ssmates.


    It was okay. Most of the stars sang a few songs and then left. Yan Su quickly answered a few questions to satisfy their curiosity.


    Gao Hang came over. Yan Su handed him a gift. Happy birthday. Im surprised you invited some younger schoolmates.


    Thank you. I thought this would be a small party at first, but these young boys and girls are just passionate, said Gao Hang apologetically. Its alright, though. Well be working in the same circle in the future. You see, that boy is Mo Liuxi. Hes still a student, but in fact, hes already famous throughout the world as a director.


    You know him? Yan Su asked.


    Gao Hangughed. Im the president of the student union. I know everyone. Mo Liuxi and I yed video games together a few times. We were well-matched adversaries and we even formed a team once. Thats how we became friends. All right, dont just stand here. You are a famous singer now, so you have to sing a few songs for us.


    Many people were surrounding the Karaoke machine, choosing the songs they would be singingter. Gao Hang pushed Yan Su to that area.


    One of Yan Sus ssmate saw her and instantly made space. Su,e on! Come here!


    Yan Su was pushed toward the machine. Mo Liuxi was sitting right beside it, holding a bottle of beer. Yan Su sat down, huddling together with him.

 Chapter 9294

    Chapter 9294


    He turned and looked at her expressionless.


    Yan Su hesitated about greeting him. Before she could open her mouth, he had already turned away. She gritted her teeth. She was too soft-hearted.


    Su, why dont you pick your own songs and allow us to enjoy the full concert experience, Meng Yunfei suggested.


    Yan Su didnt mind. Singing was just singing to her. She casually picked two songs. Her ssmates queued her songs up in front.


    It was her turn to sing soon. She sang Gone with the Wind, the song she wrote to conclude her rtionship with Shi Xiang. As she sang her own lyrics, her mind drifted to all the happy memories that she shared with him, as well as what she heard at the television station the night before.


    Her Shi Xiang, her down to earth boy When did he be like this? When did he start seeing his bosss daughter and lie to her so cruelly?


    It was no wonder he was so cautious whenever he called her. Was he afraid that the Young Missy might find out about her? She would rather he broke up with her sooner than lie to her.


    Mo Liuxi nced over at her. He recalled how Zhang Hongchuanplimented her singing, but he didnt believe him then. Now that he heard her voice for himself, he had to agree with Zhang Hongchuan. She sang well, and the emotions ran thick.


    Zhang Hongchuan mentioned that this song was rted to her past rtionship. Was she singing so sorrowfully because she was reminded of her ex-boyfriend?


    The two of them were sitting close to each other. He could make out tears in her eyes. It was as if the sadness was seeping out from there.


    He took a swig of beer.


    An Ning ran over with beer and said, Senior, let me toast you.


    Why are you everywhere I go? Mo Liuxi asked as he rubbed his head.


    An Ning was grinning. It proves that we have affinity.


    Yan Su had finished the song. She received a loud round of apuse from her ssmates. She quickly recollected herself and shook her head. Im not singing anymore. This was supposed to be a fun party, I made it so sorrowful.


    Haha, thats fine,e on, lets y some games. Gao Hang pushed her toward a group of girls.


    Someone suggested ying dice where Mo Liuxi was sitting.


    After one round of dice, they started ying a game of werewolf. Although Yan Su was sitting with the girls, they were having a good time on their own. Everyone had loosened up a little after having a couple of drinks.


    Yan Su rarely drank, but she was in a bad mood that day. She was drinking regardless of whether she lost the games.


    Soon, most of the girls were flushed from the alcohol.


    After 11 p.m., Gao Hang cut the cake and ordered a few more cartons of beer when the party didnt seem like it was about to end soon. She told everyone to drink to their hearts content since she had booked a room upstairs.


    Yan Su had to frequently use the bathroom. Thest time she went, she identally walked out of the private cabin.


    She walked around for a long time. She had to ask around for directions before she finally found the bathroom. When she was done, she bumped into a man on her way out. She could smell the scent of freshundry on him. It was pleasant.


    Yan Su looked up to see who she had bumped into, but she couldnt make out who it was. She could only tell that he was tall and handsome.


    She suddenly felt a wave of emotions as tears welled up in her eyes. The man had reminded her of Shi Xiang.


    Yan Su thought, Why did he have to change? How could he sleep with another woman behind my back? What about me?


    She was guarding her body and heart like a fool. She would never be so foolish again. She wanted to indulge in the spontaneity of the night.


    Well Handsome Do you want to spend the night together? Yan Su asked as she copsed in the mans arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.

 Chapter 930. She Opened Her Eyes and Found Mo Liuxi Lying by Her Side

    Chapter 930. She Opened Her Eyes and Found Mo Liuxi Lying by Her Side


    Mo Liuxi didnt remember how many bottles of beer he had drunk.


    He felt that he couldnt drink anymore and wanted to go upstairs to his room to rest.


    Earlier, while he was drinking, he booked himself a room. He couldnt go home drunk.


    As he came out of the VIP room, he didnt remember if he was supposed to take the elevator or the stairs.


    He stumbled forward. Suddenly, a girl bumped into his arms. She was soft and nicely scented.


    Before he could react, her hands went into his shirt.


    He had drunk a lot. His young and energetic body was burning. At that moment, he felt as if he was on fire.


    Feeling muddled, he lowered his head. Before he could see her face clearly, she pressed her lips against his.


    The girls moist tongue invaded his mouth bit by bit, entangled with his, unskillfully. He tasted strawberry cream.


    She held him tight, and he lost his mind.


    Instantly, he became the aggressive one. He put his arms around her and pressed her against the wall. He then pressed his lips against hers, until they both trembled. A simple kiss could no longer satisfy them.


    Mo Liuxi brought her upstairs.


    He fumbled to his room, then started looking for the key card in his trousers pockets. However, he was impatient and couldnt find it


    The girl reached a hand into his pocket.


    As her soft little hand touched his sensitive body, he felt as if his brain exploded.


    He carried her into the room once the door was opened, pressed her against the door, then kissed her, almost violently.


    Her dress was ripped off.


    The girl looked slim but not tall. Her body which was hiding under her dress made his blood boil.


    Yan Su ripped open his shirt with both hands. The buttons fell to the carpet.


    She raised her head and saw his bare upper body. Under the light, the delicate shape of his body gave a sexual charm. She looked down and saw his v-line abs.


    She put her hand on his muscles.


    Mo Liuxi pressed her onto the bed and kissed her again. His breathing was heavy.


    Everything happened so fast. There was a piercing pain, then Yan Su held him and cried out loud. However, the pain faded quickly, reced by pleasure. After all, they were both drunk.


    The warm breeze blew in through the window. For the two in the room, the night had just started.


    They were both immersed in the night.


    In the morning, Yan Su was woken up by her cell phone. She reached out her hand to fumble for her phone, but instead, she seemed to touch a face.


    Her heart missed a beat, as she had a very bad feeling. She raised her head and saw a perfectly handsome face, beautifully shaped lips, and straight nose.


    That face looked so familiar. Normally, she would clench her teeth when she saw that face. Now, seeing him lying beside her, she wanted to die.


    She could not believe that Mo Liuxi was lying right by her side. She moved her body slightly. Her limbs were sore, as if a truck ran over her. A burning pain came from between her legs.


    She lowered her head to check her own body, and found kiss marks everywhere, with some bruises.


    How intense was itst night?


    Some blurred memories shed across her mind, making her want to crawl into a hole to hide.


    Why on earth did she do thatst night? Was she crazy?


    Her phone was buzzing the whole time. She didnt want to wake Mo Liuxi up, so she hurriedly put on clothes and went to pick up her phone, which was dropped by the door. Seeing Luosangs name on the screen, she wanted to bash herself with the phone.


    She wondered how Luosang would feel if she knew that her best friend had taken her younger brothers virginity.


    She unwittingly rejected the call.

 Chapter 931. She Could Roughly Remember Initiating the Intimacy

    Chapter 931. She Could Roughly Remember Initiating the Intimacy


    The smell of lust lingered in the room. Yan Su was desperate.


    Although she had been fairly intoxicated the night before, she could roughly remember initiating the intimacy.


    She wondered if Mo Liuxi would reprimand her when he woke up. After all, he hated her so much. She thought it was best to leave before he woke up.


    Once she made up her mind, she began to get dressed. She quickly scanned the room for anything of hers onest time before she made her exit.


    The moment she stepped out of the room, An Ning appeared around the corner of the corridor. She was rubbing her eyes. She had drank too much the night before as well. All she saw was a figure suspiciously dashing out of the room.


    She thought it could be a thief and walked toward the room that the figure emerged from. The door was not shut tight. It was slightly ajar. She gently pushed the door open.


    There was a golden button on the carpet. An Nings heart jumped. She remembered where she had seen the button before. It was the same one on the shirt that Mo Liuxi had worn the night before. She had seen the shirt on a magazine before. It was a limited edition shirt.


    She tiptoed into the room. Mo Liuxi was still sleeping on the bed. His eyes were shut. He fidgeted under the nkets. He was still deep asleep.


    An Ning looked at him. Her mind was buzzing. She immediately knew what had happened from the smell of the room. Her crush had slept with another woman.


    Why didnt she know about itst night? Who was the woman?


    An Ning tried hard to ce the figure she had seen in the corridor but to no avail. It was too dark in the lounge. She couldnt make out what everyone was wearing. It might have just been a stranger. They had all been so drunk, including Mo Liuxi.


    The woman left quickly. An Ning deduced that she had tried to slip away before Mo Liuxi woke up. She probably didnt want anyone to find out about it.


    In a moment of rashness, An Ning had an idea. She quickly undressed andid naked beside Mo Liuxi. She wrapped her arms around him from behind.


    Mo Liuxi opened his eyes slowly when he sensed that someone was touching him. He turned to see An Ning lying beside him. His eyes widened in shock. He bolted upright. His face was pale.


    How can it be you? he asked.


    An Ning was nervous but she lowered her head shyly and replied, Why cant it be me? You were the one who brought me into the roomst night. Senior, I didnt expect you to be this passionate in bed.


    Mo Liuxi felt as if he had just tasted something bad. He was in a foul mood. He didnt like An Ning at all. He knew that for sure. How could he have slept with her?


    He tried hard to recall the chain of events from the night before, but he had trouble reconstructing the womans face in his head. All he could remember was that the woman was straddling his hips, and he had wished to melt into her.


    How could he have these impulses for An Ning? But there she was, lying next to him.


    Senior It was my first timest night. An Ning tugged at the white sheets in a moment of fluster. The sheets were stained with a red spot.


    Mo Liuxi tugged his hair in exasperation. He wished that he was dreaming. It had to be a bad dream. He quickly realized he wasnt dreaming.

 Chapter 932. Do You Not Want to Take Responsibility for This?

    Chapter 932. Do You Not Want to Take Responsibility for This?


    He spent some time pulling his hair, then found that it was real.


    As he didnt say anything, An Ning became worried.


    She was afraid that he might remember something fromst night. However, judging by his look, he was seriously drunkst night. He would believe her, as long as she clung to her statement.


    Mo Liuxi dragged over his trousers, put them on, then silently walked into the bathroom.


    Hot water poured down on his head.


    He never felt so awful. He honestly didnt want to think back. He couldnt believe the woman who brought him that wonderful feelingst night was An Ning.


    But, if it wasnt her, why was she lying by his side? How did shee in?


    After spending half an hour under the shower, he came out of the bathroom with wet hair, and with his trousers on.


    Water drops fell from his cheeks, onto his chest. He looked so sexy that An Ning almost had a nosebleed. She wished she was the girl who spent the night with him. She would be so happy.


    Liuxi, I was happyst night. An Ning looked at him. She gathered her courage and walked to hug him.


    Mo Liuxi made a step backward to dodge the hug.


    An Ning looked at him. Suddenly, her eye sockets turned red. Do you not want to take responsibility for this?


    Mo Liuxi pressed his lips together. He felt so troubled.


    Its fine if you dont want to. An Ning forced a smile and said, Its already great enough to be able to spend a night with you. At least Ive given my first-time to the man that I like the most in my life.


    The more she said, the colder Mo Liuxis face became.


    It was his first time too. He had saved it for over twenty years, yet, it was suddenly gone. He didnt even know how. He swore he would never touch alcohol again.


    Just like him, the girl lost her first time as well. Could he just put his trousers on and pretend nothing happened?


    Liuxi, Im leaving. An Ning limped to the door.


    Whats wrong with your legs? Mo Liuxi asked a question that he probably shouldnt ask.


    My legs are sore. Probably because it was my first time. You wouldnt stop. I told you it was hurtful, but you ignored me, An Ning said with tearful eyes.


    Mo Liuxi felt more and more annoyed. He seemed to remember thatst night, there was a girl, holding him andining about the pain.


    He didnt stop when he heard she was in pain but got even more excited.


    Those memory fragments fromst night made his body burn again.


    All right. Wait. Ill drive you home. Mo Liuxi put on his shirt.


    He found his car in the parking lot and they drove silently. On the way, An Ning said to him, Liuxi, you didnt use protectionst night. Should I take some pills?


    Mo Liuxi paused, shivering a little.


    He hurriedly found the nearest pharmacy, bought some contraceptive pills and a bottle of water. Only after An Ning swallowed the pills in front of him, did he sigh with relief. He felt a little guilty though. The contraceptive pills had some side effects.


    He drove her downstairs, then started talking reluctantly. Last night Im sorry, I was drunk, I


    I like you. Liuxi, can you be my boyfriend? An Ning interrupted him. You see, we had so much fun togetherst night. Perhaps, if you give it a try, youll find that were actually a perfect match for each other.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned.


    He was never interested in sex. He really lost controlst night.


    Perhaps, he didnt dislike An Ning as much as he thought he did.


    He stayed silent for a while, then responded with a cold and deep voice, Ill think about it.

 Chapter 933. She Failed to Do So Herself

    Chapter 933. She Failed to Do So Herself


    An Ning looked surprised. All right. Ill wait for you, senior.


    Mo Liuxi started the car after she headed up. Midway, he decided to call Chu Jiu to vent his frustrations.


    What?


    Do you think well, will you sleep with a woman that you dont fancy when youre drunk? Mo Liuxi sounded cold.


    You slept with someone? Chu Jiu was excited. Have you finally lost your virginity?


    Scram. Mo Liuxi was impatient. Answer the question.


    Um I guess I would, Chu Jiu mumbled. Why do men always cheat when theyre drunk? Sometimes, your body is separated from your mind. Besides, youve never experienced it before. Your hormones mightve been running wild, making you extra thirsty for some action.


    Thirsty


    Mo Liuxis expression was grim. Recently, he had been a little horny, especially after what happened with Yan Su in the elevator. It was as if a door had been opened and sometimes he would wake up with difort.


    Was that the reason why he lost controlst night?


    I touched a womanst night, Mo Liuxi sounded down. It was her first time as well. Shes our junior in school.


    Oh my god! Chu Jiu was shocked. Im terrified of sleeping with virgins. You cant y around with them. Usually, you have to take responsibility for your actions. I wish you all the best, my friend.


    Chu Jiu suggested, If you dont like her, you can me it on the alcohol. You can just tell her that you had too much to drink and you didnt know what you did and refuse to take responsibility.


    Im not that kind of person. Mo Liuxi frowned. He was taught that men should be loyal and should take responsibility if he slept with a woman. He was very careful. He wouldnt date a girl if he wasnt sure about his feelings for her.


    Then date her. You might just enjoy herpany. If not, you can always break up with her. You cant force yourself to be happy, Chu Jiu said.


    Mo Liuxi hung up.


    After An Ning watched his car pull away, she immediately took a cab back to the hotel.


    She bribed the security guard to let her see the CCTV footage after telling him that she was looking for evidence of her boyfriend cheating.


    At around midnightst night, Mo Liuxi walked out of the elevator with a woman in his arms.


    An Ning had wanted to identify the woman because she had a hunch that it was someone from their school. Her lie would be exposed once she met with Mo Liuxi in real life.


    However, she couldnt make out the woman in the video.


    The two of them were kissing the whole time. Mo Liuxi had his arms around her entire body and it was hard to identify her.


    She was jealous and upset watching the video.


    If she didnt see the clip for herself, she would never have believed that someone as cold as Mo Liuxi could be so passionate.


    The CCTV footage of the next morning was also not helpful. The woman emerged from the room with a cap that covered her face.


    An Ning gave the security guard a sum of money to delete the clip before leaving the hotel.


    After returning to her apartment in a cab, Yan Su took a hot shower. Suddenly, she felt a hot stream trickle down her thighs. She suddenly remembered that they didnt use protection the night before.


    She wanted to cry.


    She reminded Luosang countless times in the past to use protection but she failed to do so herself.

 Chapter 934. Why Is Your Face so Red?

    Chapter 934. Why Is Your Face so Red?


    She had to get some pillster.


    But she was famous now. What if someone recognized her? She felt extremely troubled.


    If she asked her assistant to get the pills for her, she would certainly be scolded.


    She could order them online! Yes! She would order the pills online and have them delivered to her apartment.


    As she found her phone and prepared to ce the order, Jiaojiao called her. Su, are you ready? Well fly to Sanya to shoot the MV at noon.


    MV? Yan Su gave a start. She had forgotten about that.


    The chauffeur and I will arrive in ten. Come down as soon as you can. Jiaojiao finished talking, and then hung up.


    Ten minutes was not enough time for the pills to be delivered. Yan Su had no choice but to quickly pack her bag and run downstairs.


    She ran into the cold-faced Mo Liuxi when she came out of the elevator.


    She automatically turned and ran back toward the elevator.


    Stop Mo Liuxi called her.


    Yan Su pretended not to hear him, until Mo Liuxi caught up with her and pulled her bag. Wait


    Wha-whats wrong? Yan Sus heart was jumping out of her throat. She was so afraid that he might remember what happenedst night.


    He was such a short-tempered person. If he knew, he might eat her alive.


    She also found that she was unable to look at his face now. Once she saw him, she started to relive the moment in the morning, when she woke up in his arms.


    The thought would make her cheeks redden and heart race.


    Why is your face so red? Mo Liuxi looked down at her.


    Its hot Im sweating. Yan Su touched her own face and stuttered, What can I help you with?


    Why did you run back when you saw me? Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes.


    Yan Su was nervous. She couldnt tell if he rememberedst night or not. You and I dont get along. You took away my red envelopes at Sangsangs wedding. Of course Id run away from you.


    Mo Liuxiughed. Youre such a narrow-minded girl. That was a week ago, and you still remember it.


    What he said made Yan Su unhappy. She argued back, Didnt you hear that all girls are narrow-minded? Besides, you were generous to Nian Xi and Mr. Xiao. You were only stingy with me. You always bully me!


    She had anger and grievance in her eyes, like a little girl.


    Looking at her, Mo Liuxi suddenly found that she was rather adorable. She was three years older than him, yet she was like a little girl.


    For some reason, she looked especially pretty today; her face looked like a perfectly nourished flower.


    Why did he start to bully her in the first ce? He couldnt remember. He probably just wanted to see her mad.


    Currently, he had so much to worry about, so he decided not to think about that right now. All right. I wont bully you. Let me ask you something. When did you leavest night? I remember that you were also drunk.


    Yan Su immediately felt awkward.


    Hes not looking for the person who slept with himst night, is he? She wondered.


    I dont remember. I was so drunkst night. She lowered her head and stuttered to answer the question, My assistant picked me up.


    Was I still there when you left? Mo Liuxi asked. Was I with anyone?


    How am I supposed to know? Yan Su shook her head. Im not interested in you.


    Mo Liuxi suddenly didnt know what to say. He was unhappy too.


    Alright. Go. He pointed his chin coldly.


    Yan Su made a few steps toward the exit. She was a hundred percent sure he knew he had slept with someone.


    She felt a little guilty, as she had ruined the virginity that he cherished.

 Chapter 935. Im Going to Take Responsibility of Him Only if He is Good- looking

    Chapter 935. I''m Going to Take Responsibility of Him Only if He is Good- looking


    After she got into her car, she sat glumly in the backseat.


    Jiaojiao smiled. When did you restst night? You dont look well.


    She was busy the whole night. Of course she didnt have a good rest.


    Yan Su sunk further into her seat. She couldnt tell her assistant about what exactly had happened.


    She decided to post a question on an anonymous forum. If you get drunk and you identally sleep with a man younger than you, what would you do? The context is that the guy hates you. Should you be honest or should you run?


    After she posted it, there were many replies.


    @doudoudou, It will depend if hes handsome or ugly. If hes handsome, Im going to make him take responsibility. I would run if he is ugly.


    @ihaveadream, Sis, you are so blessed. I want to sleep with a younger guy too.


    @peachy, I think you should let him know the truth. Imagine waking up not knowing who you had slept with; that would be incredibly frustrating. If it was his first time, he would probably want to know the truth.


    @momoda, Whats there to consider? You should just tell him the truth. Either he takes responsibility or not.


    @legendarycouple, If hes good looking, tell him. You can be friends with benefits.


    There were all sorts of replies.


    Yan Su was speechless reading everyones input. She had finally witnessed how wildizens could be.


    Most of thements stated that their choice would be determined by how good-looking the man was.


    What was the point of good looks if he had such a lousy personality?


    She had no interest in Mo Liuxi. She had made a mistake when she was feeling vulnerable and utterly drunkst night.


    She sighed lightly.


    Should she go and rify things when she was done with her errands? Would he make her take responsibility?


    Probably not.


    He might just berate her. He couldnt possibly punch her or might make her pay with her body?


    Yan Su shuddered in fear. The more she thought about it, the more her legs shook.


    She sighed again.


    After reaching Hainan, she did a shoot for two consecutive days. The shoot was for her new music video, so she had no time to buy medication at all.


    On Monday evening, she went back to her apartment and dragged her suitcase out from the elevator. After fishing for her apartment keys, she looked at Mo Liuxis door and hesitated about heading over and telling him the truth.


    After debating for a long time, his door suddenly opened and An Ning walked out.


    Yan Su was stunned. You


    Senior, you stay here? An Ning was even more shocked than she was.


    Yan Su nodded her head. I used to stay with Luosang but she moved out after she got married. Im staying here alone now, but Ill be moving out next year as well. Please dont tell anyone about this.


    An Ning nodded her head. Mo Liuxi probably wanted to stay near Luosang when he decided to stay here.


    She envied Yan Su but thank goodness she was three years older than Mo Liuxi. Yan Su was always away for events as well, so she wasnt too worried, Dont worry, I wont, she told Yan Su.


    Yan Su opened the door to her own apartment and looked over at An Ning curiously. You two


    An Ning looked shy. Were dating each other.


    Yan Su blinked a few times before she could react, Oh She was a little stunned, as she never heard about the two of them before.


    She recalled how An Ning was circling Mo Liuxi during the party. Did she be a third party? Did she sleep with someone elses boyfriend?


    Yan Sus heart was pounding, Um how long have you been together for?


    An Ning thought that she didnt mind sharing since Yan Su was Luosangs good friend. Not long. Senior, do you know how to cook porridge? Liuxi isnt feeling well today and he wants to have some porridge. I wasnt able to cook any for him, so I was just nning to go downstairs to buy some. But I still want to cook something.


    Oh I do know how to Yan Su took some time to respond to her. Give me a moment to drop off my things.


    Thanks Senior. An Ning bowed to her gratefully.


    Back in her room, Yan Su tried to make sense of the situation. She had slept with someone elses boyfriend and she nearly went over to tell them the truth.


    She would be beaten up if she did.


    Suddenly, Yan Su was overwhelmed with guilt and felt especially bad towards An Ning. She decided to keep it as a secret forever, just in case it affected their rtionship.


    After all, she was three years older than Mo Liuxi. She could never get into a rtionship with a younger man. An Ning was much more suitable for him in terms of looks and age.


    Of course, Mo Liuxi liked her as well.


    After she concluded to herself, she decided not to dwell on what had happened that night. She changed into something morefortable and walked over next door.


    She could tell that An Ning really wasnt good at cooking. The kitchen was in a mess and the pots were burnt.


    Wheres Mo Liuxi? Yan Su asked. Has he taken his medications?


    Yeah, he did. Hes resting in his room. Hes running a fever and his limbs are weak, An Ning said.


    Yan Su nodded her head. It was no trouble for her to cook some porridge.


    There werent any other ingredients at home so she made some minced meat porridge. When An Ning passed her the salt, Yan Su was shocked to see wounds on her hands, Your hands


    I cut them when I was trying to chop the meat, An Ning said.


    Yan Su looked at her slender fingers. She looked like she never had to do household chores in her life. She had an older sister, so she was probably doted on by everyone back at home.


    I have sters at home. Ill get you er, Yan Su said.


    Ten minutester, Yan Su had made a bowl of porridge. You can bring this to him. Im going to leave now.


    After Yan Su left, An Ning carried the porridge to the bedroom. Mo Liuxi was groggy as she woke him up gently. Senior, the porridge is ready.


    Mo Liuxi opened his eyes. He didnt have an appetite but he forced himself to take a few bites when he saw the tter in her hands. Unexpectedly, the porridge was delicious.


    There were slices of ginger in it and his stomach feltfortable.


    Hows the taste? An Ning asked tentatively.


    Hmm, Mo Liuxi answered coldly as he finished the entire bowl.


    An Ning was relieved. Although he didnt tell her, she could tell it suited his taste.


    Im ok now, so you can go home. Mo Liuxiid back down in his bed.


    He was overly anxious and frustrated over these past few days. He had also caught a cold from that night in the hotel, but only started running a fever today.


    Senior, Im worried about you. Why dont I


    An Ning, thank you for making me porridge, but Im notfortable with letting a girl sleep over. Mo Liuxi rejected her quickly. He wasnt feeling well and he was not in the mood to handle her.


    All right, I wont disturb you then. Ill bring you breakfast tomorrow morning at school. An Ning tucked him in before leaving.

 Chapter 936. Is Your Fever Down Yet?

    Chapter 936. Is Your Fever Down Yet?


    After she left, Mo Liuxi spent a moment focusing on the aftertaste of the congee, finding it was not that bad.


    He learned to cook back when he was a little boy. Mo Jin could hardly cook any tasteful congee for him.


    One time when he was in primary school, he had a fever. Back then, Mo Jin made him some congee. It tasted so awful that he never forgot it all his life.


    Before today, no other woman had ever made congee for him.


    The taste of the congee made him feel at home.


    He was pretty annoyed by An Ning, as she insisted on following him to his apartment. But now, he was thinking that maybe he should try to know more about her.


    The next day, he woke up, feeling much better.


    He went out of his room, into the kitchen. The kitchen was perfectly tidy. Even the kitchen waste had been taken away.


    He was a little satisfied. He didnt like it when women made a mess in the kitchen without cleaning it afterward. Mo Jin always did that.


    He refreshed himself, finding that half of the congee from yesterday was still left in the pot. He went downstairs, jogged, and bought two steamed stuffed buns near the entrance of the neighborhood. On his way back, he saw a woman in a white pajama suit. Her face was covered in a face mask. She was taking a stic bag from a deliveryman.


    At the sight of her backside, Mo Liuxi recognized her as Yan Su. She was sneakily looking around.


    Yan Sus eyes popped with surprise when she saw him.


    Then, she quickly turned and walked away, as if she was a mouse, and he was a cat.


    Mo Liuxi felt a little speechless. Her behavior made him want to bully her.


    He caught up with her, sped her hat from behind and said, Arent you tired? Why do you run away every time you see me?


    Arent you proud? Cant you pretend not to see me? Yan Su pushed his hand away. She was, of course, nervous. She was there to pick up emergency contraception pills.


    Mo Liuxi nced at the stic bag in her hand and saw the name of a nearby pharmacy on it. Are you having a cold too? he asked.


    No. Yan Su automatically held the stic bag tighter, in case he saw what was inside.


    However, Mo Liuxis eyes were keen enough to see Durexs logo, which was by the edge of the bag. Did you buy some condoms?


    Stop talking nonsense! Yan Sus cheeks reddened. I didnt.


    I saw them, Mo Liuxi said. Do you have a boyfriend?


    Somehow, he felt a little ufortable.


    Yan Su paused briefly, then sneakily opened the stic bag and looked inside. Two condoms were lying beside the pillbox. Those were probably a free gift.


    What was wrong with that pharmacy?


    These are free gifts.


    What kind of medicine did you buy? Why did they give you condoms as free gifts? Mo Liuxi suspected she bought arge box of condoms.


    Yan Su didnt know how to exin. She felt that she could never exin it.


    Its none of your business, she said.


    Her words made Mo Liuxi believe his guess. You didnt get back together with your ex-boyfriend, did you?


    No, Yan Su responded. I collect these things. Its my hobby.


    This time, Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say.


    Have you ever seen me bringing a guy back home? Besides, Im so busy. Yan Su said. Ask your sister if you dont believe me. She knows about my hobby.


    Luosang always felt that she weirdly was into condoms.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent.


    He didnt believe that a girl could have such a strange hobby.


    As he didnt say anything, Yan Su turned and left.


    They entered the building one after another and ran into each other again before the elevator.


    No one else was there, and no one spoke. Yan Su felt a little awkward. After standing there for a while, she asked him, Is your fever down yet?

 Chapter 937. You Made the Porridge Last Night by Yourself, Didnt You?

    Chapter 937. You Made the Porridge Last Night by Yourself, Didn''t You?


    How did you know about that? Mo Liuxi looked over.


    I bumped into An Ning on my way homest night. Yan Su looked over at him. Youre dating her now? So fast?


    Mo Liuxi frowned. Since when was he dating An Ning?


    He didnt deny it after recalling that she made him porridge the night before. He could try to get to know her better.


    He identally took her virginity, so as a man, he should take responsibility.


    Yan Su thought that he was agreeing with her after her question was met with silence. An Ning is nice. She cut her handsst night while trying to make you porridge, then she even asked me to teach her how to make it


    You made the porridgest night? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Yeah. I taught her how to make it. Yan Su was worried that she might say something wrong and affect their rtionship.


    Of course, she wouldnt tell him how she was teaching her and making the porridge at the same time, or the fact that she cleaned up the kitchen afterward.


    Although An Ning was a little clumsy in the kitchen, she was still willing to try and put in an effort for Mo Liuxi.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. An Ning didnt tell him that Yan Su had helped herst night.


    Do you want some buns? Mo Liuxi offered the buns in his hands.


    No thanks, I made some porridge and eggs at home. Yan Su shook her head.


    She didnt dare eat his buns.


    Mo Liuxi frowned even deeper. He thought about the porridge he hadst night. He was nning on heating up the remaining bit, but since she made a fresh batch


    Dont you think the porridge will taste a lot better with the buns? Mo Liuxi wriggled his brows suddenly. I can bring some buns over if you would share your porridge with me.


    What a shameless man.


    Yan Su was speechless. I think Ill just have it with some eggs. I dont need to eat too much for breakfast.


    Nah, youre my sisters friend. If my sister found out that I didnt share my buns, she would reprimand me. Buns are so expensive now. Its two dors for one.


    The lift doors opened. Mo Liuxi walked in and turned to her saying, Well,e along now.


    Yan Sus expression was sour. Two dors for one; that was one expensive bun.


    His mood was suddenly lifted.


    Yan Su walked in and said, Wont your sister reprimand you for snatching my red packet?


    I think I told you already. I took what was mine, Mo Liuxi answered her coolly.


    Yan Su shut her eyes, feeling speechless.


    When the elevator reached their floor, she opened her door with her keys and Mo Liuxi followed closely behind. She wanted to shut the door behind her but he stopped it and walked into the apartment in a proud manner. Sorry to disturb you.


    He had the nerve to say that. He was trespassing, wasnt he?


    Mo Liuxi removed his shoes and retrieved a couple of tes from the kitchen, cing the buns on them.


    Yan Su didnt think it was necessary to grab tes for the buns, but since he was already in her apartment, she had no choice. She still felt bad for sleeping with him so she told herself to be more tolerant.


    She scooped two bowls of porridge and sprinkled strips of ginger on top. She had only cooked one egg, so she decided to cook one more.


    When she handed over the porridge, Mo Liuxi could tell that it was the exact same one he had the night before.


    You made the porridgest night by yourself, didnt you? An Ning only watched you? Mo Liuxi said suddenly.


    Whats the difference? Yan Su thought his question was irrelevant.

 Chapter 938. Thank You for Your Hospitality

    Chapter 938. Thank You for Your Hospitality


    Mo Liuxi paused for a few seconds, then frowned and responded with, Of course there is a difference. An Nings congee wont taste the same.


    Yan Su blinked. He seemed to be right.


    She thought for a moment, then replied saying, It will eventually.


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say, but lowered his head, and ate the congee silently.


    He found that she was pretty good at cooking, the first time he ate her food.


    Your sister makes good congee as well. Yan Su thought he was simply into congee. But she rarely cooks since she became pregnant.


    Em. Mo Liuxi responded absent-mindedly. Nian Junting wont let her cook for me.


    One time she peeled his shrimp for him, but after that, Nian Junting started to see him as a pain in the ass.


    Yan Su agreed with him. Its alright, she said. You can ask An Ning to make it for you.


    Mo Liuxi felt annoyed again. He focused on the congee.


    After finishing the first bowl of congee, he asked for the second. When he started his third bowl, Yan Su couldnt help but remind him, Maybe you should save some for me?


    I thought one bowl of congee would be enough for a girl, Mo Liuxi replied confusedly. Besides, you never seem to have a good appetite.


    Yan Su sighed silently.


    Yes,pared to you and your sister, I do have a poor appetite, she thought.


    She didnt need thest bowl of congee. She was just unhappy that Mo Liuxi always acted like a close friend when he was eating her food, despite the bad attitude that he had been giving her.


    Have a steamed bun if youre still hungry. Mo Liuxi pushed the steamed buns toward her.


    Yan Su stayed silent. She didnt want his steamed bun.


    Atst, she let him have as much congee as he wanted.


    After breakfast, Mo Liuxi conveniently washed the dishes. Before leaving, he said in a nd tone, Thank you for your hospitality. To apologize to you, Ill bring deep-fried dough sticks, shrimp dumplings, and carrot cakes tomorrow morning. You can make another congee. How about beef congee?


    Yan Su didnt see thating. Thank you, she said. I didnt show you any hospitality. And you dont need to apologize to me. You can have your breakfast alone tomorrow.


    Mo Liuxi knitted his brows and said, Ill buy you so much food. You wont suffer any loss.


    You were mean to me, Yan Suined. Youll only be nice to me when you want some congee, and youll be mean as ever when you dont want congee. What do you think I am?


    Mo Liuxi stared at her angry face, then abruptly burst intoughter. I get it. Youre still angry because I said Nian Xi is prettier than you when you tried on the bridesmaids dress, and because I took your red envelopes at the wedding, right?


    Yan Sus face reddened.


    If she admitted it, he might think that she likes to beplimented and that she loves money.


    If she denied it, she might seem dishonest.


    Mo Liuxi thought for a moment, then said. Those are just some little things. How about this; Ill take you to dinner someday, and then well be even?


    Yan Su responded helplessly saying, Its just some congee. Do you have to do that? Is the congee even good?


    Mo Liuxi spent a few minutes thinking, then told the truth. Actually, its not so good. It just it tastes like my imaginary mothers congee.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say. She was not his mother.


    You didnt need to be so honest, she thought, You couldve just told me that it was delicious. I mightve said yes.


    Go and ask Aunty Mo to cook for you then, she said.


    Didnt you hear what I said? I said imaginary moms food. My real mother cooks awful food. Mo Liuxi frowned, as he recalled his mothers food.


    I dont make congee every day. Today was an ident. Your sister gave me her meal card. She still has over ten-thousand yuan on it. It would be a waste if I cant spend it all. Yan Su said.

 Chapter 939. Like How You Claimed Credit for the Porridge That You Didnt Make?

    Chapter 939. Like How You imed Credit for the Porridge That You Didn''t Make?


    Oh really?


    Nian Junting topped up the card, didnt he? Let me call him to let him know. I cant believe my sister gave you everything, said Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su was about to break down.


    Nian Junting would definitely teach her a lesson if he heard about this. She knew what kind of person he was. He wouldnt even allow anyone to keep Luosangs hair.


    All right, thats enough. Beef porridge, right? Ill make some for you. Yan Su forced a weak smile.


    All right, use fresh beef please. Mo Liuxi nodded his head and walked back to his room.


    Yan Su heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she chose to run away that morning. If he managed to get a grip on her, he would exploit her and torture her to no end. She admired An Ning for having the courage to date someone like him.


    Mo Liuxi went to ss in a good mood. The moment he sat down, Zhang Hongchuan walked over with some breakfast. A junior from the performing arts faculty delivered breakfast for you. Whats your rtionship with her? She told me to take care of you since you werent feeling well these past few days.


    Mo Liuxi looked at the breakfast; there was porridge as well. You can have it. I already had breakfast.


    Thats not nice. Zhang Hongchuan hesitated. Its her gesture towards you.


    Mo Liuxi rubbed his temples. Im too full. Ill throw it away if you wont have it.


    All right. Zhang Hongchuan secretly finished the food during ss.


    At around noon, Mo Liuxi went to the canteen after ss. An Ning saw him and walked over with two packets of food. Liuxi, I got lunch for you.


    Im so envious of you. Zhang Hongchuan gave him a look and then went to get in line for his own food.


    Mo Liuxi hesitated before sitting down with An Ning.


    He was the most good-looking guy in school and they attracted a lot of attention when they took their seats.


    An Ning handed over a piece of meat from her own te. Liuxi, are you feeling better now? Do you still have a headache? Did you eat the breakfast that I bought for you this morning?


    Mo Liuxis ears hurt; he didnt like nagging women. I didnt eat your breakfast. I already ate at home today; the porridge you cookedst night.


    An Ning was joyful. You liked it? Ill cook more for you tonight then.


    Yeah, I like your porridge, Mo Liuxi said suddenly. I didnt expect you to cook so well. I need to re-evaluate you now.


    I have many other things Im good at. We have plenty of time to discover all of them, said An Ning.


    Mo Liuxi said sarcastically, Like how you imed the credit for the porridge that you didnt make?


    An Nings expression froze.


    Liuxi


    Im full. Mo Liuxi stood up.


    Liuxi. An Ning stood up quickly. Right. I asked a senior to teach me how to make itst night, but I chopped the meat myself. I tried to make you some but I failed. I learned from her and took notes. I can prove it tonight!


    You dont even know how to cook porridge. Did you really make the bento set that you gave me? Mo Liuxi said with mockery. I remember you told me that you made it yourself.


    An Ning blushed. Actually, my mum made that. But Ive been watching her make it and Im trying hard to learn it myself. Really!


    Right. You said that you made it yourself when your mother made it, and you tried to get credit for what Yan Su did too. Learning and watching are very different from making. Dont you know that after twelve years ofpulsory education? Mo Liuxi turned to leave.

 Chapter 940. The Blame Falls on Her

    Chapter 940. The me Falls on Her


    An Ning cried in an injured voice.


    Mo Liuxi had said mean words to her before, but this time, it was different.


    Suddenly, she saw Yan Su and Chi Shengxu walk over together,ughing and chatting.


    She wiped her tears, walked up to Yan Su, blocked her way and said to her, Yan Su, do you like Liuxi?


    What?


    Yan Su was so shocked that her mouth was open wide.


    Looking at the angry little girl, she was a little worried. This girl didnt find out that Ive slept with Mo Liuxi, did she?


    I dont, she said.


    An Ning observed her face, then said unhappily, Why did you tell him that it was you who made the congee? He thinks that I lied to him. Thats not what I meant. Last night he had a fever. I just wanted him to have some of my congee, so I didnt mention you to him. Plus, I was helping, wasnt I? Now he thinks Im a liar.


    She started to cry. What did I do wrong? I dont know how to make congee, but Im trying my best to learn. Ill do anything for him.


    Yan Su sighed with relief. It was only because of the congee.


    She still felt wronged, though.


    All right. Stop crying. She handed An Ning some tissue and said, I didnt tell him anything. I even spoke for you this morning. He figured it out himself.


    How could he possibly figure it out? An Ning took the tissue, raised her head, and looked at Yan Su with a pair of watery eyes. Her eyes were filled with distrust.


    Yan Su felt the me fall upon her. I met him this morning, and I told him that youre great. I told him that you even hurt your hand to make congee for him. I told him to cherish you. How am I supposed to know that you lied to him?


    An Ning argued saying, I have told you that I didnt lie on purpose. He was ill. I couldnt tell him all the details, could I?


    Yan Su felt annoyed. All right. Its my fault, okay? I shouldnt talk to him at all. From now on, I wont say a single word about whatever is going on between you and him. Im older than both of you. How can I be fond of my best friends younger brother, whos also a junior schoolmate of mine? Can you please stop making assumptions?


    She then walked away from An Ning to order food.


    Chi Shengxu nced at An Ning andughed. That girl is young but fierce.


    Yan Su shrugged. How can a girl not be fierce if she wants to be with Mo Liuxi? The other few girls from your department are as innocent as a piece of unwritten paper.


    Chi Shengxu shrugged and responded with, Youre right though. I think you should better stay away from her. You are a public figure now. Dont bring trouble to yourself because of them.


    Em, Im aware of that. Yan Su nodded.


    Mo Liuxi sat under a tree in the yground, thinking about An Ning. He found that she was dishonest and she always lied.


    Yan Su was different. She told his sister that he liked to look at dirty photos, but that didnt make him dislike her as much as he disliked An Ning.


    Also, Yan Su felt guilty after doing bad things.


    An Ning wouldnt. On the contrary, she always made herself sound very reasonable, meaning that she was born that way.


    No matter how much time he spent with her, he wouldnt like her.


    Besides she probably lied about that night too. The idea shed across Mo Liuxis mind.


    He immediately stood up, and drove to the club, as if he just saw a gleam of hope.


    In the club, he talked to the manager and told him that he lost his wallet in the club that night and asked to see the surveince video.


    Arge club wouldnt normally show the surveince videos to the guests.

 Chapter 941. I Dont Want to Be Involved in Your Relationship Anymore

    Chapter 941. I Don''t Want to Be Involved in Your Rtionship Anymore


    The manager brought him to the control center. The security guard searched but couldnt find the footage.


    How could it be gone? The manager frowned.


    The footage is gone from that day. The security guard scratched his head. Oh, I remember now. Lee said that the system was faulty that day and he notified someone toe fix it. Its fixed now but the videos from that day are gone. Its noted on the records.


    The manager flipped through the records and showed it to Mo Liuxi. Im sorry theres no recording. Itll be difficult to find your wallet. Im extremely sorry.


    Mo Liuxi looked at the screen and nced at the security guard again. He didnt seem like he was lying so he took his leave.


    He thought that the whole incident was peculiar. What were the odds? The footage from that day was gone; was it really a coincidence?


    In the evening when the security guards changed shift, the guard told Lee that someone had asked for the footage from that day.


    Lee heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he heeded the advice of that pretty girl that day to file a system malfunction report. If the hotel management found out that he epted bribes and deleted the footage, he would be fired for sure.


    In the afternoon, Mo Liuxi went straight home after his ss.


    On his way home, he saw Yan Su emerge from a small shop with a cup of bubble tea wearing a baseball cap. She was walking and enjoying her drink. The gentle rays of sunlight shone on her. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt, a tight pair of cropped jeans, and white canvas shoes. She looked slim and carefree.


    Why are you going home so early? Mo Liuxi walked over with his hand in his pocket.


    Yan Sus expression changed when she saw him and she quickened her pace.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and blocked her path. Why do you always act this way when you see me? Arent you tired of this?


    Do you think I enjoy this? Yan Su shrugged. Nothing good ever happens when I bump into you. I dont want your girlfriend to see us and misunderstand my intentions.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned and frowned deeper. What did An Ning say to you?


    Yan Su opened her mouth but hesitated. If she told him the truth, she would be ratting An Ning out again. She might argue with her and cause her a headache.


    Nothing, she just came to exin things to me, Yan Su said casually.


    Mo Liuxi chuckled coldly. Did she think that you were sowing discord?


    Yan Su didnt know what else to say. Stop asking me questions. I dont want to be involved in your rtionship.


    Whos in a rtionship here? Mo Liuxi was irritated. Shes not my girlfriend.


    Yan Su was speechless. What was she doing at your ce and taking care of you when you were ill if shes not your girlfriend? You didnt deny it this morning. Theres no point saying all this anyway. Boys nowadays are so irresponsible, toying with other peoples feelings so carelessly.


    Mo Liuxi was frustrated. It was all for that bowl of porridge in the morning. He could figure out An Nings character in just about half a day. Frankly, he had his doubts about that night in the hotel as well. He should have lifted the nket to see if there were any marks on her body that morning.


    I didnt ask her toe to my ce. I wasnt feeling well and she has been following me around. Mo Liuxi was extremely annoyed. I will rify things with her anyway.


    Yan Su covered her ears. I cant hear you well, so dont tell me. It doesnt have anything to do with me.

 Chapter 942. Are You Asking Me to Go with You?

    Chapter 942. Are You Asking Me to Go with You?


    Mo Liuxi was not happy either. Why did he try so hard to exin to her?


    She thought that he was a yboy, so let it be. She was nobody to him.


    He spent a while thinking, then finally concluded.


    You think I want to tell you all this? I just worried that you might gossip about me with my sister. She wants me to have a girlfriend even more than my mom does.


    Yan Su wasnt delighted to hear that. How much did he think she liked to gossip?


    Dont worry. I wont say one word about you to your sister, Yan Su said.


    Mo Liuxi pressed his lips together, putting on a long face.


    Yan Su hurriedly turned and walked away.


    Mo Liuxi followed behind her. They lived in the same building, so they shared the same destination.


    Yan Su felt extremely awkward, as he was following behind her. She turned and walked into a supermarket.


    Where are you going? Mo Liuxi asked casually.


    To buy some beef, Yan Su said without thinking.


    She nned to buy some beef on her way back home. However, she regretted telling him that, because he said he wanted beef congee for breakfast. It sounded like she was buying the beef for him.


    As she thought, Mo Liuxi smiled and said, Thank you. Get me some tenderloin please. Thats the most tender part.


    As he finished talking, he kept walking forward. Yan Su had never seen such an impolite man. She couldnt help but stomp her foot and say, You want the beef congee yourself, dont you? Why do you make it sound like its a job of mine?


    Mo Liuxi stopped moving and turned around. His impably handsome face showed surprise as he said, Are you asking me to go with you?


    Yan Su paused as she didnt know how to respond. Thats not what I meant she tried to exin.


    Im going with you. I want the congee. Its inappropriate for you to go alone. Mo Liuxi spent a few seconds thinking, then walked into the supermarket.


    Yan Su patted her forehead. She even wanted to tear her mouth out. Why on earth did she say that to him? Shopping with him was no better than shopping alone. Besides, it would be troublesome if anyone recognized her.


    However, she had no choice but to walk into the supermarket along with him.


    Mo Liuxi took a cart. He was only there to buy beef tenderloin, but he started shopping. He picked fresh fruit, vegetables, yogurt, ice-cream, noodles, and dumplings. He spent a long time standing before the freezer, trying to select the beef. He carefully looked at every box of beef.


    Yan Su followed behind him, watching him shop with surprise. She rarely saw a man who was so patient and careful when shopping. Most girls were like that.


    Mo Liuxi looked so cold and proud, not like someone who would shop with precision.


    Do you know how to cook chicken wings? Yan Su asked, as he was spending quite some time looking at a few boxes of chicken wings.


    Mo Liuxi nodded and said, These were packed yesterday. Im wondering if I should buy them or not, and if I should buy three or five. I cant eat five alone.


    He paused briefly, then turned his eyes to her and asked, Do you eat chicken wings?


    Yan Su felt ttered. Are you gonna cook for me?


    Youre overthinking. You can have some if I cant finish them, said Mo Liuxi ndly.


    Yan Su curved her lips downward. She decided to ept his chicken wings, as she had to make him congee tomorrow morning. All right. Ill eat them.


    Mo Liuxi picked the box which contained five chicken wings.


    Seeing Mo Liuxi shop, Yan Su started selecting food for herself as well. She was rarely at home, but she could at least buy some fruit and yogurt.


    This kind of yogurt isnt good. This new cheese vor is not bad. The tall and slim Mo Liuxi walked up behind her, reached out a hand over her shoulder, and picked up a box of yogurt.

    Chapter 943. It Was the First Time That a Man Bought Her Haagen Dazs


    His low voice was like a cello teasing her ears. He smelt like freshundry and she could feel the warmth of his body.


    Yan Su turned to look behind her. His body was long and slender and she seemed petite standing beside him, like a small woman. Except for Shi Xiang, she had never been this close to a man before. She shifted ufortably to the side.


    Mo Liuxi didnt notice it. Focused on the yogurt, he asked, You should try this.


    Are you sure its good? Yan Su was skeptical.


    I can have it if you dont like it, Mo Liuxi said coolly.


    She would rather force herself to eat it than give it to him.


    After they picked out their groceries, they went to the check-out counter. They divided their items into two piles and Mo Liuxi said casually, You can pay first? Although its only a bit of money, I only spend money on women I like apart from my sister and mother.


    Thanks, I didnt expect you to pay for me. Yan Su didnt want to owe anyone anything, especially from a guy.


    After she got the bill, it was Mo Liuxis turn to pay for his items. A couple was standing behind them, when the man said, Look at the man that you said was good-looking. Look at how petty he is. He wouldnt even pay thirty dors of groceries for his girlfriend. Hes a miser, all right?


    Yeah, I didnt expect that either. The girl looked at Mo Liuxi with disappointment.


    Mo Liuxi heard them but he walked off with his groceries, his expression unchanged.


    Yan Su almost admired him. Any normal man would be embarrassed. Perhaps he really wasnt interested in her. When they walked out of the supermarket, Mo Liuxi fished out a cup of Haagen Dazs and passed it to her.


    Yan Su was stunned. Do you want me to open this for you?


    What was this woman thinking?


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. This is for you.


    Yan Su was pleasantly surprised. You dont have to give me ice cream because of what they said back there.


    She already knew how lousy his personality was. There was no need to put on a show.


    Do you think Im someone who cares forments like that? Mo Liuxi sighed. Can you tell how good a man is from his spending? Some people who are willing to spend loads of money on you might never marry you. I admire men who only spend on their one true love for their entire lives.


    Yan Sus heart fluttered. He made some sense.


    There were a lot of men who knew what to do to make a woman happy. Money was an important tool for them and many of them only wanted to sleep with women.


    Well thanks. Yan Su took the ice cream but hesitated again. I thought you said you are only willing to spend money on your girlfriend?


    It was out of convenience. I was nning to have some myself. I should always offer ady some food. Mo Liuxi started eating his ice cream happily.


    Yan Su sighed. She was touched by his gesture but she gave him too much credit.


    He bought the rum vor. It had been a long time since she had Haagen Dazs. As she started eating the ice cream, she sadly realized that it was the first time that a man bought her Haagen Dazs.


    There was a saying that went, If you love her, buy her Haagen Dazs.


    She nced over at Mo Liuxi andmented to herself, My nemesis.

 Chapter 944. Why Is Your Face so Red?

    Chapter 944. Why Is Your Face so Red?


    She finished one box of Haagen-Dazs by the time they arrived home, but she was still unsatisfied.


    They each went back to their own apartments. Yan Su took out the yogurt and tasted the type Mo Liuxi had rmended. Surprisingly, it tasted OK. She found that the boy-next-door was honestly a gourmet.


    After dinner, Yan Suid on the couch, watching TV. She had been working a lottely, so hadnt rxed much. As she was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on her door.


    She opened the door and saw Mo Liuxi standing there. He was carrying a te that had two gold, crispy chicken wings on it.


    These are for you. Mo Liuxi handed her the food, turned, and left.


    Yan Su picked up one chicken wing and took a bite. It was garlicky and delicious. She quickly finished the two chicken wings and wanted more, but she wasnt shameless enough to ask him to make more for her.


    To thank Mo Liuxi for the chicken wings, she made him some beef congee the next morning.


    A little before 8 a.m., Mo Liuxi showed up at her door wearing a sport suit. His forehead was covered in sweat. His cheeks were red, and his lips were moist. His body radiated young and energetic hormones.


    Looking at him, Yan Su suddenly recalled how she woke up in his arms that morning. She remembered his slim and muscr waist. Suddenly, her cheeks slightly reddened.


    Why is your face so red? Mo Liuxi lowered his head to look at her.


    Its hot, Yan Su awkwardly replied. Your face is even redder than mine.


    I just finished jogging. Mo Liuxi smelled the congee. He walked into her apartment and said, I also got us some breakfast from Wus Store.


    Wus Store is two or three miles away from here. Yan Su was surprised.


    I jogged there. Its not that far, Mo Liuxi said as he brought the breakfast into the kitchen and got himself a bowl of congee.


    The breakfast he brought was rich. Yan Su felt a little bad since she only made some congee.


    Do you jog every day? Yan Su asked.


    Mo Liuxi nodded. Yeah. I eat a lot. Id get fat if I didnt jog.


    Luosang cant get fat no matter how much she eats, Yan Su said.


    Mo Liuxi thought for a moment and replied, I eat a lot of snacks.


    Most boys dont like snacks, Yan Su said with augh.


    Mo Liuxi paused before saying, When I was little, I couldnt afford most of the candies that I wanted. I know how to cook, yet I couldnt afford some good ingredients. Since my financial situation has gotten better, I tend to let myself eat whatever I want and as much as I want.


    Yan Su felt slight pity for him. She had heard from Luosang that Mo Jin and Mo Liuxi used to live a very hard life, but she never thought that it was that hard. It was reasonable that he grew up into such a weird person.


    Emm, youre right, Yan Su said. Eat whatever you want. Dont mistreat yourself.


    Tomorrow, can you make me minced pork congee with preserved eggs? Mo Liuxi asked without thinking. I have preserved eggs.


    Yan Su didnt respond. She thought, Is he going to have breakfast at my ce every day?


    Eh Why didnt you make it by yourself in your own kitchen? Yan Su helplessly asked. I think youre pretty good at cooking.


    I cant eat that much alone, and my congee isnt as good as yours. Mo Liuxi dropped his eyelids and said, How about this, I make you after-dinner snacks while you make me congee.


    Yan Su couldnt resist but nod and say, I want the chicken wings that you madest night.


    Deal. Mo Liuxi smiled and took out his phone. Give me your WeChat number.


    Mo Liuxi left her ce after they had be WeChat friends.

 Chapter 945. I Wanted to Try and Kiss You

    Chapter 945. I Wanted to Try and Kiss You


    At around 9 a.m., An Ning walked over with breakfast in hand the moment Mo Liuxi entered the school gates. Her eyes were still red and puffy.


    Liuxi, I made this myself today, she said. You can try it.


    Ive had breakfast already, Mo Liuxi replied.


    He found her irritating. He didnt feel that way at all when he had breakfast with Yan Su. They were both women, so why was it so different?


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head and stared at An Ning. Her features were cute, and she looked bright and youthful. It was apletely different look from Yan Su, who appeared quiet and demure.


    Whats wrong? An Ning was blushing as he continued to stare at her.


    Mo Liuxi suddenly bent his head and pushed her against the wall. He slowly lowered his lips.


    An Nings heart was beating quickly. She shyly closed her eyes.


    Mo Liuxi stopped when he was inches away from her lips and backed away.


    An Ning waited for him to kiss her for a long time before opening her eyes. He appeared to be deep in thought. Liuxi


    I wanted to try to kiss you, Mo Liuxi casually said, but I found it hard to actually do it. That makes me question if I could even desire you when I was drunk.


    An Nings face went pale. What What do you mean? I like you, and I gave you my first time willingly. How could you say something like that?


    Mo Liuxi rubbed his eyebrows and said, You saw for yourself, I really tried to kiss you, but I lost all desire to do that once I saw you. I tried to ept you but I failed. If I date you, I wouldnt be able to kiss you, nor will I ever be able to erect for you. You are so young. How could you stand a life like that? I dont think I should put you in misery. Goodbye, donte and look for me anymore.


    He turned to leave.


    An Ning was speechless. She quickly grabbed him. She was on the brink of tears as she pleaded, Liuxi, you cant do this to me, I


    Dont tell me about how it was your first time. It was my first time too, Mo Liuxi was increasingly frustrated. Even if I were drunk, I can remember that you were the one who initiated it.


    An Ning opened her mouth but could not say a word.


    You can just dismiss my first time just because I am a man, right? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Well I can take responsibility for you, An Ning stuttered.


    I will never have a desire for you in my life, and I dont n on being a monk. Mo Liuxi said before walking straight into the ssroom.


    He finally felt the burden released from his chest. Although he felt like he was being irresponsible and shameless, neither of them would be happy if he forced things to work.


    Besides, who knew if it was really An Ning that night? She did have a track record for lying.


    When sses ended, Zhang Hongchuan called out to him, Liuxi, how about a game of basketball?


    No thanks, Im going to buy chicken wings from the supermarket today, Mo Liuxi said as he threw his backpack casually over his shoulder.


    Zhang Hongchuan was speechless. What is a good-looking man like you doing cooped up at home? Go back a littleter. Come on, lets go.


    He dragged Mo Liuxi to the basketball court. There were a few sophomore boys from there who were tall and hunky. They had attracted quite a crowd of girls who were cheering them on.

 Chapter 946. Lu Kang Was Standing by Her Door, Wearing a Black Suit

    Chapter 946. Lu Kang Was Standing by Her Door, Wearing a ck Suit


    During the game, all the boys suddenly became excited; they were trying their best to pitch.


    Zhao Min who was on Mo Liuxis team, grabbed the ball, rushed straight forward, but ended up letting an opposing yer steal the ball. The opposing yer sessfully hit a three-pointer.


    Mo Liuxiined. Do you even know how to y? Why didnt you pass the ball to me just now?


    Zhang Hongchuan ran over, patted him on the shoulder and said, You have to understand him. Everybody wants to make a good performance in front of the goddess.


    Mo Liuxi turned to look outside the yground. A group of girls were gathering there. Aely girl was standing under a tree, in a ck and white striped t-shirt, ck trousers and a pair of white shoes. Her hair was long and ck. She was so pretty and special, like the most beautiful scenery.


    Mo Liuxi had seen the scenery this morning. This morning she was in a pajama suit, and her long hair was coiled in a bun.


    Dont you know about it? Yan Su has been recognized as the prettiest girl in our school this month, said Zhao Min regrettably. Seriously, shes getting more and more beautiful since she became famous. Damn it. I didnt y well just now. She must have seen it.


    Mo Liuxi was never interested in those kinds of things, but at that very moment, he looked at Yan Su and suddenly sensed a strange peacefulness from his heart.


    Yet still, he responded to his friends in a nd tone, That is the prettiest girl at our school?


    Zhang Hongchuan rolled his eyes and said, She is known as the prettiest girl in the Music Department, while your sister was the prettiest one in the Broadcasting Department. But your sister is pregnant now. People voted on the prettiest girl in the school, and Yan Su won. Shes so elegant and pure.


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows.


    Yeah, the elegant and pure girl likes chicken wings, he thought.


    He turned and said, All right. Stop looking at her. Just continue the game.


    The game started again. He dribbled with beautiful movements, and then hit a three-pointer, winning an apuse from the entire yground.


    He turned back, nced at the girl, and slightly curved his lips into a faint smile.


    At 9:20 p.m., Mo Liuxi brought the chicken wings to Yan Sus ce. Yan Su had just taken a shower. She was wearing a dark-green pajama suit, which emphasized her snow-white skin and beautiful corbones. The dark-green color looked so fascinating on her.


    Thank you. Yan Su took over the chicken wings. Her eyes glowed slightly.


    Mo Liuxi gave her a nd nce, then he scanned her table with his eyes and said, Are you having the yogurt that I rmended?


    Yan Su felt a little embarrassed. Her snow-white skin turned slightly pink. Someone had caught her eating snacks.


    Mo Liuxi nced at the yogurt again and said, Do you believe me now?


    Yes, yes. Yan Su nodded, hoping for him to leave.


    Right at that moment, someone knocked on the door. Lu Kang stood by the opened door, in a ck suit. Under the warm light, he seemed gentle and mature. He was holding a vacuum cup and was a little stunned when he saw the scene inside the t.


    Mr. Lu, what brings you here? Yan Su was surprised.


    I didnt have too much work to do at thepany today, so I came here to see you. You guy Lu Kang confusedly looked at the te in Mo Liuxis hand. These two cant get along, can they? He wondered.


    I have some extra chicken wings. I cant finish them alone, so I brought them here for her, Mo Liuxi said coldly.


    Hearing that, Lu Kang smiled and said, Good then. The chicken wings might make you thirsty. Su, I brought you some hot milk.


    Yan Sus face wore a slightly awkward look. She was aware that Lu Kang had feelings for her. She rejected him once, but


    Why did you bring milk? Doesnt she have milk? Mo Liuxi abruptly turned to Yan Su, and continued, Dont you have a fresh box of milk in your cab?

 Chapter 947. He Would Be Leaving the Pair Alone

    Chapter 947. He Would Be Leaving the Pair Alone


    Lu Kang felt ufortable because Mo Liuxi reminded him of his boss.


    There was only one Luosang in the entire world, but it would be a miracle for him to even find a girlfriend.


    You wont understand it now. You will get it when you meet a girl who makes you want to make her a hot cup of milk in the middle of the night. Lu Kang handed the thermos sk to Yan Su. He was holding onto a dessert. I made this cake myself. Its a little ugly, but I think it tastes fine. You can try it if you dont mind.


    Yan Su was stunned. She didnt want to embarrass Lu Kang so she epted the cake. Thank you, I didnt know you made cakes as well.


    Lu Kang smiled. Before he could tell her that he only learned how to make it for her, Mo Liuxi interjected, I know how to make cakes. Its pretty easy. Assistant Lus cake looks like it can be improved upon. Can I taste it?


    Since he asked, Lu Kang could only force a smile and say, You will have to ask Su. Ive already given it to her.


    We can all eat it together. Yan Su tried to ease the situation. The chicken wings as well.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. He didnt like other people eating his chicken wings. He only gave them to Yan Su out of politeness.


    Since she already offered, he wasnt going to make a big fuss over it. He would tell herter that it was uneptable.


    Lu Kang was d. It was wonderful to eat with Yan Su. He was just a little worried about Mo Liuxi.


    After Mo Liuxi tasted the cake, he said, Is this a cheesecake? The taste isnt sharp enough, and the cake isnt moist enough. You probably didnt whisk the egg whites for long enough, or you didnt smooth out the aluminum foil at the bottom.


    Oh, alright, Ill take note. Lu Kang nodded his head politely.


    Mo Liuxi proceeded to eat three-quarters of the cake before stopping and saying to Yan Su, Im done. Assistant Lu specially made this for you, so I shouldnt finish the whole thing.


    Yan Su looked over at Lu Kang sympathetically. She thought, How could he leave just a bit for me when he knew that it wasnt nice to do so?


    Well Liuxi, arent you going back to bed? Lu Kang asked.


    He was hoping Mo Liuxi would make way for him and Yan Su to hang out. After all, it wasnt easy for him to find time to date.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. He thought about how he would be leaving the pair alone in the middle of the night if he left. Lu Kang was so desperate and thirsty, so how could he leave? Especially since Yan Su was dressed sexily, he might lose control and force himself on her.


    Although he had no feelings for her, he thought he should look out for her as a good neighbor. Since she was his sisters friend as well, he would need to take responsibility if anything happened to her. Men should be righteous like that.


    Instead of leaving, Mo Liuxi found a topic to talk about. He asked, Hows Xu Luosang? Why hasnt she been to ss recently?


    Shes heavily pregnant, Yan Su said. Mr. Nian wont let her out of the house unless it is an important ss.


    How about Nian Junting? Mo Liuxi asked. Is he treating her well? He hasnt found a woman outside just because he is married now, has he?


    Lu Kang was about to have a breakdown. He thought, What kind of conversation is this?


    Before they knew it, they carried on the awkward conversation until around 11 p.m. Yan Su was getting tired.


    She was yawned and said, Its gettingte. You two should head back soon. You guys can add each other on WeChat if you really want to continue talking.


    Mo Liuxi thought, Does he really want to be friends with me?


    He wasnt interested in talking to that little brat, but he nodded his head since he didnt want to impose on Yan Su.

 Chapter 948. He Might Be Fond of Yan Su too

    Chapter 948. He Might Be Fond of Yan Su too


    As the door was closed, Lu Kang couldnt help but say to Mo Liuxi, Mr. Mo, your brother-inw finally let me get off work early to make some efforts to please the girl I like. Do you have to get between us?


    You came to please the girl sote Mo Liuxi nced at him ndly and said, Were you gonna stay at her ce for the night?


    Lu Kangs face reddened. Nonsense. I got off work at six, went back home to make the cake, and then came here. I normally work until eight or nine.


    I cant tell for sure what you are really thinking about. After all, I dont know you well. Mo Liuxi turned, then entered the password to unlock his door.


    Looking at his back, Lu Kang clenched his teeth and asked, You dont fancy her, do you?


    Mo Liuxi paused for a second, then replied with, I dont like women. I like men.


    After saying that, he turned and stared at Lu Kang straight in the eyes.


    Under his gaze, Lu Kang had goosebumps. Eh I gotta go.


    As he finished talking, he hurriedly walked into the elevator, then sighed with relief.


    As he left, Mo Liuxi rxed his tightened face.


    How could he possibly be fond of Yan Su? He only liked her congee.


    The next morning, he went to Yan Sus ce for the congee. After finishing a small half bowl of congee, he said, Earlier, I said that youre not vignt enough. It turns out that Im right. How could you let Lu Kang into your apartment sote at night? You know how he feels about you.


    Yan Su knitted her delicate brows and said, Mr. Lu is fine. Hes a decent man.


    I dont think so. The more a man is experienced, the smarter hell be. He may just hold and kiss you once you ept his milk. Be careful. You better not open the door next time, unless Im here with you. As he finished talking, Mo Liuxi lowered his head to eat the croissant.


    Yan Su was a little confused by his words. Are you a decent man? Dont forget what happened in the elevator


    Her cheeks turned red, and she couldnt manage to finish her statement. Of course, what happened in the elevator wasnt the whole story.


    She enjoyed that night, and he was so wild.


    I was inexperienced back then. Mo Liuxi said carelessly.


    So, are you experienced now? Yan Su said in her head.


    Thinking about what they had both experienced that night, she fell into silence, focusing on the congee.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. They both had secrets.


    Shengting.


    At about 9:10 a.m., Lu Kang listlessly brought some files into the small conference room. Nian Junting came in withrge steps, sat down, and crossed his legs. He nced at Lu Kang a few times, then said, Whats wrong? Didnt I let you leave early to pursue the girl yesterday?


    Lu Kang was speechless. Could 6:00 p.m. be called early at all?


    Mr. Nian, he said. Can I ask, do you have a younger brother that you dont know about yet?


    Who?


    Nian Junting wore a serious face. Do you think my father had illegitimate children with other women?


    That would be a serious misunderstanding. Lu Kang hurriedly exined. No. I went to Yan Sus ce yesterday, and Mo Liuxi was there. He refused to leave but kept talking to me about you.


    Nian Junting raised his brows. What did he say? Is he worried that I might mistreat Luosang? Thatll never happen.


    I feel that hes fond of Yan Su too, Lu Kang said frowning. He was a little worried. Mo Liuxi was young, handsome and was Nian Juntings brother-inw. He could never win against that boy.


    Stop talking nonsense. Nian Junting leaned against the back of the chair and said ndly, Yan Su might be frightened if she heard what you just said. How unlucky she would be to get that boy?

 Chapter 949. Mr. Nian, I Think Its Your Fault Miss Xu Is Pregnan

    Chapter 949. Mr. Nian, I Think It''s Your Fault Miss Xu Is Pregnan


    How could he speak of his own brother-inw this way? Besides, their personalities resembled one another.


    Dont worry, be brave and chase after her, Nian Junting said. Yan Su would never like anyone like him. He is too childish. Women these days like men who are mature, like us. Take me for example, Luosang couldnt wait to tie me down at such a young age.


    So, you think Im tying you down? a womans voice was heard from the door.


    Nian Junting froze. When he saw her, he quickly said, I havent finished my sentence. Its a happy problem to have.


    Didnt you say that I couldnt wait to tie you down? Luosang asked.


    I am the one who couldnt wait to tie you down, Nian Junting said as he held her hand. If I hadnt met you, I would have probably died alone. Thats why I think it is difficult for Lu Kang to find a girlfriend. Hes getting quite old after all.


    This conversation wasnt helping Lu Kang at all.


    Alright, dont drag Lu Kang down along with you, Luosang said as she rolled her eyes.


    Luo, why are you here? Nian Junting asked with a smile. We havent even been apart for more than an hour. Do you miss me already?


    Luosang blushed and handed over a stack of documents. You forgot to bring these. Ive been cooped up at home thanks to you these days. I have nothing better to do. I just wanted to take a walk and get some fresh air, so I delivered these to you myself.


    Nian Junting frowned, but he still pulled her into hisp. After she sat down, he said, Luo, youre lucky youre sitting on myp. An ordinary man wouldnt be able to handle the weight.


    Luosang was annoyed. She angrily stood up and pushed him away. Of course Im heavy given how pregnant I am. For whom did I gain the weight?


    Nian Junting was still holding her hands. He innocently looked at her tummy and said, Little brat, did you hear that? Your mother is gaining weight because of you.


    Lu Kang pped his palm into his face. His boss was about to shoot his own foot again.


    Just as he predicted, Luosang flung his hand away and said, Dont put this on your son. I cant be bothered to talk to you. Dont talk to me anymore. You dont have to worry about this sweet dilemma of yours any longer.


    She angrily walked off.


    Nian Junting was about to go to a meeting, so he didnt run after her.


    Lu Kang couldnt help but say, Mr. Nian, I think its your fault Miss Xu is pregnant.


    Hmm, I was just joking. Nian Junting seemed frustrated. I didnt expect Luosang not to appreciate my humor.


    Lu Kang shuddered as he thought, He was telling a joke? Its creepy and weird that he would do that. Doesnt he know that he had an extremely cold disposition in the past?


    He was suddenly sympathetic toward Luosang.


    The managers from the investing department had all arrived except for Xiao Si. The meeting was dyed since not everyone was present, so everyone was ying with their phones.


    Hey look, Jiang Yuning was detained in Paris and denied bail, Manager Zhong said. The tables have turned. Yng Oda has publicly apologized, and hes free to go home now.


    Nian Junting looked up at Manager Chen and smiled. Our government must have pressured them. So many of our scientists would be disheartened to know that an outstanding physicist was left in the lurch.


    Its too bad we couldnt persecute Yng Oda, Manager Zhong angrily said. We should sue him in return.


    They must have reached an agreement of some sort, Nian Junting said. Let me look into that.

 Chapter 950. This is From Mr. Han. He is Mr. Jiangs Assistant

    Chapter 950. This is From Mr. Han. He is Mr. Jiang''s Assistant


    Manager Zhong handed the phone to Nian Junting. Nian Junting saw Jiang Yunings delicate face in the news photo. He spent a short while reading the news with a frown, then gave the phone back to Manager Zhong.


    At the police station, Nian Xi read the news as well.


    She was excited. She thought Jiang Yuning would stay in France for a while, but to her surprise, he came back quickly.


    Youre reading the news about Jiang Yuning again. Cheng Jing showed up behind her and looked at the photo on her phone.


    Sure I am, said Nian Xi, filled with indignation. The Japanese and Americans did such a shameless thing. Now theyve released him. Whos gonna punish the giarist then?


    Stop asking for more. Theyve run out of their countries long ago. Theyll never admit so easily, said Cheng Jing.


    Im going to ask Director Wang about it. Nian Xi stood up, then ran toward the directors office. Director Wang had a guest, so she waited.


    Before she started talking, Director Wang said to her, I know youre going to ask me questions about Jiang Yuning. I can only tell you that each side has taken a step backward. No one earned benefits. Now Langyi Oda has a very bad reputation in the world of physics. As for why we didnt sue him, that was Jiang Yunings decision.


    Why did he make that decision? Nian Xi was surprised.


    Director Wang shrugged and said, Perhaps, he was worried about his own safety. The longer he stayed abroad, the more danger he might need to face. Anyway, he has the right to make his own decision.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. She was still angry.


    Jiang Yunings case has ended. I heard that you have a lot of videos to check, dont you? Why are you so free that you are always thinking about his case? Director Wang crossed his fingers and said, I admit that Jiang Yuning is good-looking. You dont fancy him, do you?


    No, Nian Xi awkwardly straightened her body and said, I admire Mr. Jiang. When will hee back to Xia City?


    I dont know. He might not evene back to Xia City at all. After all, Xia City isnt his hometown, Director Wang waved a hand. Go. Stop disturbing me. Cases are waiting for you to solve. Dont always think about the unimportant things.


    Nian Xi left the office with disappointment.


    Back in her office, she thought about it carefully, then found the current situation was actually rather good. Jiang Yuning had returned, and his case was officially over. She had made it clear with him, they couldnt start a rtionship.


    They would both go back to their regr lives, and that would be good.


    After thinking it through, Nian Xi started checking the surveince videos together with Cheng Jing. Recently, she and her colleagues were dealing with a theft case. The thief had sessfully stolen from twenty different ces in a row. The case had aroused public attention.


    About 7:00 p.m., they were still watching the videos while eating out of takeout boxes. Abruptly, Captain Zhaos voice was heard, We got some nice food here. Come on.


    Nian Xi immediately stood up and ran out of the office. What is it?


    A few beautifully packed bags were lying on the table. She opened one and found some chocte cookies and desserts.


    Wow, who bought these? So generous. Nian Xi hurriedly unpacked a chocte cookie for herself.


    Fan Yiyi weirdly nced at her and said, Theyre from Mr. Han. He is Mr. Jiangs assistant. He said this is a little gift from Mr. Jiang, to thank you guys for taking care of him in France. The other squad got some too.


    Nian Xi paused briefly, then asked, Theyre back in the city?

 Chapter 951. She Looks Pretty Even When Shes a Mess

    Chapter 951. She Looks Pretty Even When She''s a Mess


    That should be the case, Captain Zhao said. I heard that Mr. Jiang is the guest physics lecturer at Xia City University.


    Nian Xi nodded her head. She had heard about this before, so she wasnt surprised. She still wondered if he was able to lecture given his personality. She shook her head and thought, Forget it. Im not going to think about it.


    Since he asked Uncle Han toe over, he was making things clear. She also made herself clear that day. They wouldnt have anything to do with each other anymore.


    After snacking, Nian Xi went back to her office to monitor the surveince footage. This sort of detective work was the mostbor-intensive and dry. It required her to be attentive and focused. She worked until around 11 p.m.


    I found it, Chen Jing happily said. This should be the suspect. Look, his figure and his features are almost identical.


    Hmm, great. Nian Xi nodded her head. Her eyes were sore from watching the screen. Hand it over to Captain. Were done here.


    Around midnight, Nian Xi left the station. When she got in her car, she looked around warily. She could sense someone watching her. After looking around for a long while, she couldnt spot anything amiss so she drove off.


    After her car pulled away, the car window of a ck sedan parked nearby lowered.


    Mister, you gave up your right to sue Yng Oda and waited here for eight hours just to catch a glimpse of her? Is it worth it? Uncle Han asked with a sigh.


    Jiang Yuning looked out the window in a daze. After nearly a minute, he wrote on his notepad, She looks pretty even when shes a mess.


    Uncle Han was surprised that was all he was thinking about after everything he had said. Miss Nian looked tired and unkempt.


    I heard from the people working at the station that Miss Nian is doing video detective work now, he said. Its an extremely dry and tiresome job. She has to work overtime often. I think Miss Nian is quite exhausted.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head and wrote, I cant bear to watch her suffer.


    Uncle Han sighed. He didnt know what else to say. If you cant let her go, you should court her bravely.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head sadly and wrote, I cant, she told me that she hasnt forgotten her ex-boyfriend. What if shes unhappy when shes with me?


    Uncle Han was stunned. How could there be anyone so silly? He said, Its normal to go after someone that you like.


    Jiang Yuning wrote, If she doesnt like me, I will only burden her with my feelings.


    Uncle Han was silent.


    Jiang Yuning continued writing. Ill wait. If she gets back together with her ex-boyfriend and theyre happy, Ill give her my blessings. If they dont end up together, I will go look for her. I wont let her be lonely.


    Uncle Hans heart ached. If Miss Nian knew his thoughts, she would be very touched.


    How could you bear to withstand the hurt by yourself? he asked.


    Jiang Yuning thought for a moment and wrote, Its OK if Im hurt. I just dont want her to be unhappy.


    Uncle Han had only one word in his mind: silly.


    When Nian Xi got home and opened the door, a small shadow ran toward her and happily barked.


    Jiang-jiang! Nian Xi patted the puppys head.


    Jiang-jiang raised its head and looked at her pitifully. Its tail was wagging.


    Nian Xi picked the puppy up. She felt mncholic. Someone like Jiang Yuning was destined to by a passer-by in her life.


    A weekter, the nanny van was downstairs. Yan Su got into the vehicle.


    Jiaojiao looked at her and said, Youve gained some weight.


    Yan Su blushed.

 Chapter 952. She Gained Weight Because of Mo Liuxi

    Chapter 952. She Gained Weight Because of Mo Liuxi


    How could she not gain weight?


    Her meals used to be simple when she was alone. Recently, not only did she have all sorts of congee for breakfast, but she also had some nice steamed rice rolls, stuffed steam buns and other snacks that Mo Liuxi brought to her.


    Apart from that, Mo Liuxi always brought her some after-dinner snacks around 9:00 p.m.


    She had chicken wings a few times, but then Mo Liuxi told her that eating too many chicken wings wouldnt be good for her health.


    The crab season hade, so he made her spicy crab twice.


    Yan Su was always a slim girl, but she surprisingly gained a few kilograms.


    It waspletely Mo Liuxis fault.


    You seem to have rested well recently. Jiaojiao smiled. This is good. You look sexier than before. Shen always says that youre pretty, but too thin.


    Emm, Yan Su responded.


    At herpany, Star Music and Culture, her manager, Xiang Wan, threw her a file and said, This is director Li Mings new movie. They intend to invite you to sing the theme song for the movie.


    No way. Yan Sus eyes bulged. She could scarcely believe it.


    Li Ming was an international renowned director. His works werent always the box office champion but were all ssic. His production team wasposed of real elites.


    Why not? I spoke to him for you myself. Xiang Wan sat on a chair nearby and crossed her legs. She wasnt thirty yet and was very capable. Currently, she was already the top-one manager in thepany. Many other singers were jealous of Yan Su for having her as a manager.


    Miss Xiang, thank you. Yan Su couldnt imagine how much effort Xiang Wan had made to get that offer.


    She had heard about Li Mings new movie before. Many musicians wanted to work with him. She was new in the circle, so she didnt dare to even try.


    Dont mention it. Its for both of us. The more popr you are, the more Ill earn. Xiang Wan shook a finger and said, They like you, but its not final yet. They made more than one offer. Yourpetitors include Ye Yunyang and Pei Wei, who are both popr singers.


    Yan Su instantly felt stressed-out.


    Ye Yunyang was from Hong Kong. He had been famous for over a decade and the tickets to his concerts always sold out. Pei Wei started her career from a talent show. Currently, she was a very popr Chinese singer. She even held personal concerts abroad.


    Dont be nervous. Your voice is better than theirs. You are not as famous as they are, but you have your own advantages. Youre cheap. Xiang Wan made a joke tofort Yan Su.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    That is a huge advantage, she thought.


    With a bitter smile, she said, Miss. Xiang, its Director Li that were talking about. Is he ever short of money? So many people want to invest in his work.


    But he never likes to waste money. Xiang Wan shook her head and said, Once, he invited a beginning singer to sing the theme song for his film. Later on, that film became popr, and so did the song. The singer also became an instant hit. They have sent us a brief introduction to the new film. They want you to write the lyrics for the song, and if your lyrics touch Director Li, youll be singing the theme song for the new movie.


    Yan Su picked up the introduction and said, But the introduction is really simple


    Go and watch Director Lis old works. Feel his style before you started writing. And of course, our team will be helping you. Xiang Wan stood up, patted her on the shoulder and said, Work hard. I have some other projects to do, so I better take off now. After lunch, youll fly to New York to shoot the magazine cover.

 Chapter 953. Day 1 without Yan Su. Mo Liuxi didnt have any porridge.

    Chapter 953. Day 1 without Yan Su. Mo Liuxi didn''t have any porridge.


    It was a long weekend, so he bought a few hairy crabs for himself. He was making his own porridge with the crabs. No matter how hard he tried, he couldnt get the taste of Yan Sus porridge.


    He was frustrated. He opened his social media application and saw the pictures of scenery that Yan Su had just posted. In one of the photos, she was wearing a nice dress standing on a bridge. She was smiling brightly and radiantly.


    Mo Liuxi stared at the phone andmented, Not pretty.


    Yan Su ignored him, but Luosangmented below him, Dont be ridiculous! You look beautiful.


    Mo Liuxi threw his phone to the side.


    Luosang called him soon after. Isnt it your holiday? Why didnt youe to Mas ce?


    I dont want to, Mo Liuxi coldly answered.


    Where are you? Luosang asked.


    In my apartment, Mo Liuxi replied.


    Luosang was worried. Her handsome brother was spending his holiday cooped up at home.


    Come over, Im at Mas ce, she said. Lets have a meal together as a family. I havent seen you since the wedding. I miss you.


    Mo Liuxi lightlyughed His voice was full of skepticism as he replied, You miss me? Will Nian Junting allow you to miss me?


    What would I lie to you for? Luosang asked. Of course, I miss my good-looking brother. Its too bad Im pregnant. Otherwise, I would visit you every day.


    Mo Liuxi was silent because he finally agreed. Xu Zhengxuans cooking was not half bad.


    It took him an hour to drive over. When he entered the door, he saw Mo Jin talking to Luosang on the couch. Xu Zhengxuan was mopping the floor, which made him frown.


    We need a cleaner at home, Mo Jinzily said. He volunteered.


    Liuxi, hows school? You can ask me if you need help with anything. Xu Zhengxuan stood up. Your dad used to be the principle of An City University. I know some things about directing.


    Thanks, but its fine. I know everything, Mo Liuxi said with a frown.. I thought you were going back to An City to be a principle? How do you have time to be a cleaner here?


    Xu Zhengxuanughed and replied, Im not going back anymore. I asked Professor Ma to rmend me to be a professor at Ximei. Ill be teaching Film Studies there next semester. The Ximei principle was very weing. Liuxi, I will be your professor next year.


    The corner of Mo Liuxis mouth twitched.


    Luosang smiled and said, Although Dad went to prison, he still retained his knowledge. He used to be a principle and is well experienced in the field. Ximei was very happy to wee Dad to their faculty.


    Mo Liuxi couldnt help but say, Its a big difference in terms of sry being a principle in An City and being a professor here.


    Its fine as long as I can still cook and clean for your Mother. Xu Zhengxuan grinned and looked over at Mo Jin. Ill cook up a feast for you tonight.


    Mo Liuxi sat on the sofa and looked at Mo Jin, who took a graceful sip of her tea.


    He volunteered, she said with a shrug.


    The little brat kicked me again, Luosang suddenly said.


    Mo Liuxi looked over. Luosang was wearing a thin dress. There was an obvious dent in her tummy.


    Hes going to be a little devil, he said.


    Luosang sighed and said, I just want to give birth quickly and get back to work. Im so envious of Su, who is flying everywhere.


    She looked over at Mo Liuxi at the mention of Yan Su and asked, You have Yan Sus WeChat ount? Have you eased your rtionship with her? I heard from Lu Kang that you made chicken wings for her, are you two


    I made chicken wings for her? Mo Liuxi burst into a chuckle. How can that be?

 Chapter 954. Luo, I Was Trying to Say Some Tasteless Love Words

    Chapter 954. Luo, I Was Trying to Say Some Tasteless Love Words


    I dont think its possible either, Luosang said as she rubbed her belly. Last time, Chi Shengxu called me and told me that youre with An Ning.


    Hearing An Nings name, Mo Liuxis expression slightly changed. Youre married, but youre still in contact with Chi Shengxu? Does Nian Junting know about this? Do you need me to tell him?


    Luosang gave him a re and replied, How dare you. We are just friends. We talk asionally. Whats the deal with you and An Ning? Shes An Lans sister after all.


    Are you talking about the little girl who came to your wedding with An Lan? Mo Jin asked. He eyes were glowing. She looks adorable and lively.


    I have no interest in adorable and lively girls, Mo Liuxi ndly said. Isnt Chi Shengxu an actor? Hes supposed to be busy. Why does he have so much time?


    He cares for you, Luosang said. What kind of girl do you like?


    The ones as quiet as a dead fish, Mo Liuxi replied.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond to that. She took a sip of hot water and said, Keep a distance from her if you dont like her. Dont flirt with her.


    I got it, Mo Liuxi said.


    At lunchtime, Nian Junting got off work and came home. He held Luosang in his arms and asked, My dear wife, did you miss me?


    Luosang was still angry at him since earlier he had said that she was fat. Shezily gave him a re. Didnt I see you this morning?


    Well, I missed you, so I thought youd miss me too. Nian Junting lowered his head to look into her eyes.


    Luosang snorted, I dont dare miss you. Im like a ball now.


    Nian Junting smiled at her and said, Even if youre like a ball, I wouldnt dare roll you. Id hold you in my hands carefully.


    Luosang squeezed his thigh. Those were not pleasant words.


    Nian Junting dodged in pain and said, Luo, I was just trying to say some tasteless love words.


    Mo Jin spouted the water in her mouth. Her son-inw honestly had terrible etiquette.


    Luosang found him both funny and annoying. Is that how you say tasteless love words? Where did you even hear the term tasteless love words from?


    Xiao Si is learning about thattely. He exined it to me roughly, and I think I got it. Nian Junting answered the question honestly.


    You got it? Luosangughed. Forget it. Please stop learning that.


    If she had to hear those kind of tasteless love words every day, she might give birth to the baby ahead of the schedule.


    Nian Junting frowned. He hardly spent time learning how to say love words before, but she actually turned him down once he tried. Without knowing what else to say to her, he turned to Mo Liuxi. Can you please not be the third wheel while Lu Kang goes after Yan Su?


    Mo Liuxizily picked up a piece of watermelon and said, They needed me.


    Nian Junting didnt know how to respond. Sometimes, he felt that Mo Liuxi was a master of conversations.


    Can you not eat the cake that he made at least? he asked.


    Dont worry, I wont eat it. Its not good. Mo Liuxi shook his head.


    Nian Junting fell into silence again.


    Ignore him, Mo Jin said. Hes just a sharp-tongued boy.


    Its alright, Nian Junting said. Thankfully, Lu Kang isnt here.


    He figured he needed to remind Lu Kang to make better cake.


    Mo Liuxi stayed in the house for the night and left Sunday evening. Mo Jin went to Luosangs ce for dinner.


    That boy finally left, she said with a sigh. Hes so difficult to serve.


    Mom, you barely did anything for him, Luosang honestly said. You didnt even cook for him.


    Mo Jin coughed slightly and said, I had to put up with his sour face.

 Chapter 955. Yan Sus Name Appeared on the Shortlist

    Chapter 955. Yan Su''s Name Appeared on the Shortlist


    Luosang was speechless. How could it be? Her brother was so cute and handsome. She could look at him all day.


    Murong Cheng, who was having dinner with them, nodded and said, I understand your feeling. When Junting joined the army, I was so happy that I went to the KTW three days in a row and sang Freedom.''


    On his way home, Mo Liuxi received a call. He made a detour to a caf.


    In the caf, Li Ming had already finished half a cup of coffee. Mo Liuxi sat opposite him. After having a sip of coffee, he ordered an affogato, espresso paired with vani ice cream topped with ayer of ground nuts and a cookie.


    You like these kinds of sweet things? Lin Ming asked with augh.


    You dont understand, Mo Liuxi casually replied.


    Alright, I dont understand, Li Ming said. Hows the editing of the script going? Im going to start shooting next month.


    Ill get it done in time, Mo Liuxi said.


    I trust you enough, Li Ming said. I want you to join me as the executive director for team two. I gave your mentor a heads up already.


    Mo Liuxi paused to think before saying, I want to focus on my studies for now.


    Youll learn more in the field than in school. Dont worry, you cane back after youre done with your scenes, Li Ming said. Im getting old. I get tired easily when I shoot outdoor scenes in difficult terrains. I cant handle it. I might not even make movies anymore. I want to do everything right from now on. Although youre young, you have a sharp sense of the ssical cinematography. If you want to make a mark in the industry, this is a good opportunity to do so. Although youre well-known overseas, the maindndscape is slightly different. Dont worry, you have full authority over which direction you want to take. Although I am the main director, I wont interfere with your work.


    Mo Liuxi paused for a while before agreeing. Hows the castinging along?


    You can take a look at the list. Li Ming handed over a document,


    Mo Liuxi scanned through the names quickly. The male lead was fine. He was someone of caliber and skill, but the female lead


    Why did you cast Ji Nuanyi? he asked. Shes too young, and her acting


    She had potential, Li Ming said. She is the most hardworking amongst young actresses nowadays. Shes got a good work ethic, and shes popr. She has a strong fan base. Apart from her, we would be looking at older, more well-established actresses. I was hoping to attract a younger crowd if we cast her. She came to look for me herself and expressed her sincerity to work on this project. I have a good impression of her.


    Mo Liuxi didnt say anything else. He was a little stunned when he saw the list of singers. The final artist was unconfirmed, but Yan Sus name appeared on the shortlist.


    Singers


    We havent decided yet. They all have their own strengths, Li Ming said. I asked them to write a song. I will choose the winner based on the lyrics they submit. It has to be something that fits the theme of the film.


    Yan Su just got popr, and shes very young, Mo Liuxi said. He didnt expect himself toment on the matter.


    Ive listened to her songs before. Shes got talent. We can give it a shot, and shes cheap. Li Ming wasughing like a cunning fox.

 Chapter 956. Why Did You Delete Me?

    Chapter 956. Why Did You Delete Me?


    Mo Liuxi nced at him and said, Im surprised you care about such a small amount of money. They wont charge a lot to sing the theme song for your new movie, will they?


    No, they wont. Theyrepeting. Li Ming finished his coffee.


    The conversationsted until 9:00 p.m.


    Back at home, Mo Liuxi opened the fridge and saw the chicken wings. His eyes lingered on them for a few seconds, then he took a bottle of soda and closed the fridge door.


    Having after-dinner snacks alone was a little boring. He couldnt even finish the chicken wings.


    He made spicy chicken wings tonight. After thinking for a moment, he took a picture of the wings, then sent it to Yan Su.


    It was morning in New York time. As Yan Su got up from bed, she saw the picture; instantly she felt hungry.


    A short whileter, she received a message from Mo Liuxi I cant eat them alone, so I dumped them.


    He sent her another picture of the chicken wings in the trash can.


    Such a waste, Yan Su responded regretfully.


    After a shower, Mo Liuxiy on his bed, his lips curved in a smile. It was a waste indeed.


    Youre not here. What else could I do? he thought.


    He replied to Yan Su Do you see that trash can? Youre that trash can.


    Yan Su was so angry she wanted to vomit blood. She seriously didnt understand why Mo Liuxi sent her that message. She assumed that he wanted to make her angry.


    Mo Liuxi waited for four minutes, but never received another message from her. He decided to send her a new message Bring me a bagel.


    The message wasnt delivered because Yan Su had deleted him from her WeChat friends.


    He paused briefly, then angrily threw his phone.


    How dare she delete me? That is so awful.


    On Tuesday, Mo Liuxi was lying on the couch, reading a film script. Suddenly, he heard people talking outside.


    He instantly put on his slippers and walked out and said, Yan Su, you deleted me.


    He opened the door to see Yan Su and Jiaojiao. Yan Su was holding a key. She was stunned when she saw him, while Jiaojiao had her eyes dazzled by Mo Liuxis pretty face.


    Yan Sus neighbor was so handsome.


    Su, this is


    My neighbor, and schoolmate, Yan Su flipped her hair and exined awkwardly.


    Oh, Jiaojiao responded to her, then hurriedly said to Mo Liuxi, Hi, are you working with apany already? Do you want to be a star? I can rmend you to mypany


    Im not interested. Mo Liuxi interrupted Jiaojiao, then walked to Yan Su, looking down at her coldly and asked, Why did you delete me?


    Seeing the dangerous look on his face, Jiaojiao hurriedly stood before Yan Su and said, Oi, clearly she deleted you because she might not like you. A forced rtionship can never bring happiness. Besides, Yan Sus career is going uphill. Its not the right time for her to start a rtionship.


    Why are you so mad? Jiaojiao blinked and continued saying, She deleted you, but thats not a big deal.


    Mo Liuxi paused for a moment, as he didnt know how to respond. A short whileter, he said with a cold voice, That was impolite. Of course, I am mad.


    Yan Su raised her head. Her face was snow-white, and her hair was hanging loosely over her shoulders. You said that Im a trash can, she said, her eyes containing anger.


    Thats the reason? Mo Liuxi frowned.


    Yan Su turned her face away. She was really angry at that moment, but it soon faded. After all, she knew about his weird personality.


    Add me, Mo Liuxi gave an order.


    Yan Su turned her face further away. She didnt want to add him.


    Why would I add him? To hear him call me a trash can again? She thought.


    Are you gonna add me or not? Mo Liuxi slightly narrowed his eyes. His eyes gave a dangerous light.


    Yan Su red at him. The silent eye contactsted for a short while, but after, Yan Su quietly took out her phone and added Mo Liuxi back.


    Jiaojiao was shocked. She submitted too easily. She decided to see Yan Su in a whole new way from that day on.

 Chapter 957. Are You Guys Flirting with One Another…

    Chapter 957. Are You Guys Flirting with One Another��


    Yan Su looked away. She didnt want to add him. Was she going to stand by being called a rubbish bin?


    Are you going to add me or not? Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes. His gaze looked menacing.


    Yan Su continued staring at him before she quietly fished out her phone and added him again.


    Jiaojiao was stunned. She thought she caved too easily. She was looking at Yan Su in a different light now.


    After she added him, Mo Liuxi raised his brows happily and said, Dont delete me next time. Oh right, did you bring any food back from New York?


    He changed the topic so quickly that she took a while to react. I went there for an event, not for fun, I didnt have any time to go shopping.


    Even if she did buy any snacks from there, she wouldnt have offered them to him. She thought, How dare he threaten me like that!


    She didnt know him well before. Now that she did, she knew that he was aplete glutton.


    Mo Liuxi frowned before unhappily walking back to his apartment.


    When the door shut, Jiaojiao sighed and said, Su, are you guys flirting with one another


    Yan Sus features were squashed together. How could that be?


    I can understand, hes so handsome after all, Jiaojiao said. Although we dont have any rules to forbid you from dating, we should still be careful. You should prioritize your career at the moment. Love cer. If he really likes you, he wont mind waiting for you.


    Yan Su was amused. Im not interested, I swear. Hes my nemesis.


    Jiaojiao giggled and said, Theres a saying. Isnt it, Foes be lovers?''


    Yan Su opened the door. Jiaojiao carried her suitcase into the apartment.


    Well, Su, if you really do it, remember to use a condom, Jiajiao said.


    Yan Su blushed thinking, She is really jumping to conclusions.


    Unfortunately, the reminder came a little toote. She didnt use the condom, but she took the pill. Hopefully it worked, even though she took it a littlete.


    I wont, she insisted. I made ns with thepany. Ill be moving to another ce after the New Year. Im not interested in rtionships right now.


    Im just worried that you would be lonely at night. You two stay alone next to each other after all. You never know after spending so much time together, Jiaojiao said with augh. You can think about the lyrics for Director Li. I wont disturb you.


    After Jiaojiao left, Yan Su went to take a hot shower. Soon after she got out of the bathroom, her doorbell rang.


    She opened her door grudgingly knowing who it likely was. As expected, Mo Liuxi was standing there with two hairy crabs on a te. They werent cooked, but they looked fat and delicious.


    She looked at it and frowned. Im not eating it. Im not your rubbish bin.


    Mo Liuxi blinked and grinned. Dont overthink, these are the ingredients for the seafood porridge tomorrow morning.


    Yan Su finally understood why Luosang felt like punching someone in the past. She flung the door shut.


    Mo Liuxi stopped the door with his foot and asked, What are you doing?


    What do you think Im doing? Yan Su red at him. Cant you tell that Im upset? How could you call me a rubbish bin and then ask me to make you porridge? You No woman will be able to stand you in the future.


    Oh. Mo Liuxi nodded his head. Thats fine, Im not interested in women anyway.


    I dont believe you, Yan Su said. How could he say that when they had such a passionate night together? I dont believe I dont believe you dont have any needs.


    I do. Mo Liuxi nodded his head. But would I find a woman just to take care of those needs? I dont think so.


    Yan Su was stunned. His words made sense.

 Chapter 958. His Throat Suddenly Became a Little Dry

    Chapter 958. His Throat Suddenly Became a Little Dry


    I have hands, he said. If I have needs, I can solve it myself.


    Yan Su had no idea how to respond to that. She thought, Alright, that is very reasonable. If all men in this world were like him, the world would be a safer ce for women.


    Mo Liuxi walked in, put the crabs on the table, and said, Keep them. These are genuine Yangcheng Lakerge crabs. The harvest is no good this year. I asked a friend of mine to get me these. Most of those that you find on markets are fake. Its hard to find genuine ones.


    Yan Su curved her lips downward. It sounded like she needed to thank him for the genuine Yangcheng Lakerge crabs.


    Mo Liuxi looked around. He saw the introduction of the new film on the table and picked it up.


    Dont touch it, Yan Su hurriedly said.


    Is this Li Mings new film? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and opened the file. Its a simple introduction. Why do you have this?


    Since he was already holding the file, Yan Su had no choice but to exin. Everyone wants to sing the theme song for Director Lis new movie. Werepeting. The singer who writes the best lyrics gets to do the theme song. If it goes well, that singer can also do the interlude songs.


    Do you have any inspiration? Mo Liuxi asked while turning the page.


    No Yan Su sighed. The introduction is too simple. I can tell what exactly Director Li wants. I n to watch his old films tonight.


    Watch his No Return,'' Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su was a little confused at first. She then recalled that Mo Liuxi was a director. She heard that he was pretty good.


    Li Mings works often involved love stories, but, in fact, he himself is not interested in love stories. He values the affection between families more. Mo Liuxi turned and said, If you wrote a song about love, he wouldnt be touched.


    Yan Sus brain worked really fast at that moment. If this new film isnt about love, it wont be about family affection and friendship either. Hes trying to talk about human nature and betrayal.


    Yeah, human nature. Mo Liuxi nodded. You can start from that.


    There are rarely lyrics like that nowadays, Yan Su said.


    It depends on how you will show the theme vividly. Im not a singer, Mo Liuxi said.


    He put his hands in his pockets and left.


    Yan Su spent a long time thinking. She finally found No Return online and watched it until 1 a.m. The movie even made her cry.


    Before going to bed, she grasped some faint inspiration. She started writing that night. Around 4 a.m., she huddled on the couch and fell asleep.


    She was awoken by the sound of knocking on the door. She drowsily answered the door and saw Mo Liuxi standing there.


    Seeing her, Mo Liuxi was stunned a little. It was the first time he saw her in such awful shape. Her hair was messy, and there were sofa marks on her face. Her eyes were half-closed, and her white pajama top nearly fell off her left shoulder, exposing her pretty shoulder bones and smooth skin.


    Looking at her, he felt that his throat suddenly became a little dry. He blinked and asked in a deep voice, Wheres my congee?


    Congee? Yan Su paused for a few seconds and suddenly woke up. Oh my, I overslept. What time is it?


    Ten to eight. Noticing the dark circles under her eyes, Mo Liuxi frowned and asked, When did you go to bed?


    I dont remember. About 4 a.m. Yan Su rubbed her eyes and said, I forgot to make the congee. Its toote now.

 Chapter 959. Beg Me

    Chapter 959. Beg Me


    Mo Liuxi was disappointed. He hadnt had it for days. He had been looking forward to it since the night before.


    Why did you sleep sotest night? he asked.


    I was writing lyrics for Director Lis new film, Yan Su said with a yawn.


    Let me have a look. Mo Liuxi stepped into the house.


    Yan Su recalled his advice from the night before, so she willingly showed him what she wrote. She went to wash up and brush her teeth while he read her work.


    Mo Liuxi briefly scanned through the lyrics. There were markings and annotations all over the paper, but he could tell that she was a sensitive artist. She grasped the crucial points he had mentioned and wrote the lyrics poetically.


    What do you think? Yan Su poked her head out of her toilet as she was brushing her teeth. Her eyes were hopeful.


    Its stillcking if you want topete against Ye Yunyang and Pei Wei. Mo Liuxi stood up to pour himself some milk.


    Yan Su spat out her toothpaste and asked, How did you know that they were mypetitors?


    Mo Liuxi paused with the cup in his hand and calmly replied, I chatted with some of my friends in the industry and heard about it.


    Yan Su didnt doubt him. She asked, Which part iscking?


    Beg me. Mo Liuxi looked over at her.


    Yan Su inhaled sharply and said, I think youre drinking my milk.


    She thought, How can he ask her to beg him when he was at my ce drinking my milk? What kind of person is he?


    Hmm, I was pouring you some milk, so I poured myself a cup as well, Mo Liuxi matter-of-factly said.


    Well, I really have to thank you then, Yan Su said as she gritted her teeth.


    If not for the fact that he gave her some advice the night before, she really wanted to chase him out of her house with a broom.


    Youre wee. Mo Liuxiughed as he watched her cheeks angrily puff up. Forget it, on the ount that were good neighbors, Ill tell you. Your lyrics are too artistic and abstract. People might not rte to it.


    Director Li has quite a simr sense of artistic direction, Yan Su said. Ive listened to the theme songs of his films in the past


    He used to be like that, but his tastes have changed over the years, Mo Liuxi said. He watched as Yan Sus eyes lit up.


    You know Director Li? Yan Su looked at him with newfound respect.


    Is that strange? The circle is only this big after all. I wont help you with my connections though. You should earn the gig by your own virtue. Mo Liuxi turned and took a sip of milk.


    I didnt ask you to help me, Yan Su said with a pout. Will you put me down?


    Mo Liuxi was upset. Why would I do that for? Think what you want of me.


    He ignored her after that and sat down to eat his breakfast.


    When Yan Su changed and walked into the living room, he was already gone. There was a cup of milk for her on the table, but it had gone cold.


    Over the next few days, Yan Su was focused on writing the song. Sometimes when Mo Liuxi walked past the music ssroom, he would see her ying the guitar alone in the studio.


    Once when he walked by, Yan Su stopped him and asked, Do you want to hear the song?


    Do you want me to give you advice? Mo Liuxi asked. He proudly walked and pulled a chair to sit opposite her. He sat with his legs crossed. y then.


    Yan Su closed her eyes and ignored how arrogant he looked. She started ying the guitar.


    A ray of sunlight fell on her ck hair as she peacefully sang the song. Her head was lowered, and her face was pale and pretty. Hershes turned golden as they caught the suns rays. Her lips were moving gracefully as she sang the song with her beautiful voice.

 Chapter 960. He Looked Straight into Her Black, Shining Eyes

    Chapter 960. He Looked Straight into Her ck, Shining Eyes


    The autumn breeze was refreshing.


    A fallen leaf drifted into the window and fell onto her hair.


    Her fingers were slender, snow-white. She wasnt wearing any essories, yet those hands were still pretty.


    Mo Liuxi gazed at her; his eyes sparkled.


    On such an afternoon, hearing her singing, while sunlight poured on the floor, Mo Liuxi felt that his serene heart was plucked along with the strings.


    It was peaceful and beautiful.


    Sadly, the second half of the song was iplete. Yan Su couldnt finish the music, but raised her head and said to him, I haventposed the rest of the song yet. Her cheeks were slightly red.


    Do you need topose the music too? Mo Liuxi knocked hisp with his slender fingers while asking the question.


    He didnt hear Li Ming mention that. Li Ming shouldnt be so hard on the singers.


    No. I tried topose the music, since I have written the lyrics, said Yan Su with a soft voice. Even if Director Li doesnt pick me, I can make some small changes and make it a new song of mine.


    Youposed the music all alone? Mo Liuxi was surprised. He had no experience in the music industry yet, but he knew thatposing a song was not easy. Many young singers didnt know how topose these days. Most of them had teams doing it for them.


    She created such a beautiful song all by herself, meaning that she was talented indeed. It also meant that as a singer, she was outstanding in many ways.


    Yeah. Yan Su nodded. My team makes good music, but I prefer to do it myself. Do you think Li Ming will like it?


    How am I supposed to know? Im not him, Mo Liuxi said. Then, he noticed the disappointment in her eyes.


    But he slightly moved his delicate thin lips, and continued, I think some parts in this song are a little too high-pitched. In fact, you dont need to emphasize the treble. Its not what touches people. Whats more important is that you want your music to resonate among other people, dont you? Ive listened to your songs. Its a little hard for some other people to sing those songs. If you made them a little easier to sing, more people will want to sing your songs in karaoke clubs, when the movie bes popr. That will be a new source of ie, and itll also help to build your fame.


    Yan Su paused briefly, pondering over his words. He seemed to be right. Earlier, her team had talked to her about that too. Which part do you think needs to be lower?


    Mo Liuxi walked to her side and bent over to look at her notebook. He pointed at one line of the lyrics and said, Here.


    You have such good memory. You only listened to it one time, yet you have already memorized it. Yan Su responded with surprise.


    Mo Liuxi was happy to beplimented by her. People alwaysplimented him, and he normally ignored thepliments. However, it felt nice when those nice words came out of her mouth.


    Im a director. I surely have a good memory.


    Check the lower-pitched version then. Yan Su picked up the guitar.


    Mo Liuxi closed his eyes to feel the music carefully. It doesnt need to go that low.


    Yan Su adjusted the music again.


    He was listening, while she was trying to perfect the music.


    More and more ssmates walked past the room, as the ss was about to begin.


    Its about time for ss. Yan Su put down the guitar and stood up.


    Eh. Mo Liuxi nced at the leaf which was lying on her hair the whole time. Abruptly, he reached a hand toward her hair.


    Whats wrong?


    Yan Su raised her head and saw the boys velvet-like, soft hair and eyshes in the sunlight. His dark eyes sparkled like stars. She could even see her reflection in his eyes.


    Mo Liuxi slightly turned and looked straight into her ck, shining eyes.

 Chapter 961. His Heart Fluttered

    Chapter 961. His Heart Fluttered


    His heart fluttered. Mo Liuxis mind nked for a split second. Yan Su was distracted as well until voices of their ssmates could be heard in the corridor.


    I have to go to ss, Mo Liuxi said as he regained his senses.


    He kept the leaf in his pocket as he turned to leave the room. When he opened the door, An Ning was standing there with a nk face. She looked over at Yan Su, who was putting her guitar away.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and walked around her without stopping.


    Senior! An Ning ran after him. Do you like Yan Su senior?


    Im just talking to her regarding music. Mo Liuxi stopped in his tracks and turned to coldly look at her. Its not your business who I like anyway. I already made things clear to you.


    Ive never seen you so patient with any other girl, An Ning said, recalling what she saw through the window just now. Is it really because she is Luosangs friend?


    Why are you so bothersome? Mo Liuxis temples were throbbing.


    Luckily, he didnt ept her feelings. She was so controlling even though they werent a couple.


    I I An Ning was on the brink of tears. I just care too much about you.


    There are many women who care about me, Mo Liuxi angrily said. Do I have to concern myself with everyones feelings whenever I interact with someone? Cant I have a friend of the opposite gender? Its none of your business who I date anyway. You should really learn from your sister. How could you be so different even though you are siblings? Dont go spouting nonsense in front of Yan Su.


    An Ning bit her lip hard as she watched him stalk away. She only turned to leave when Mo Liuxi was out of her sight. She bumped into Yan Su, who was just leaving the music room.


    An Ning Yan Su felt ufortable when she saw An Ning ring at her with hatred.


    Was there another misunderstanding?


    Senior Yan, I dare to admit that I like Liuxi, but what about you? Is it so difficult to admit to it? An Ning asked through gritted teeth, You are already so popr, so why do you have toe after my Liuxi?


    Yan Su was good-tempered, but she was annoyed at An Ning. If you are going to have this kind of attitude, I dont think you will ever win his heart. In fact, you are going to push him further away. Dont me others for your own failure.


    She turned to leave. She wrongly assumed that An Ning was dating Mo Liuxi, and she had felt bad for that. But she had never misspoke about her ever. An Ning on the other hand was always quick to attack her and jump to conclusions. She now sympathized with Mo Liuxi. She thought that they could at least get to know one another, but this girl was just in petty and jealous.


    At 4 p.m., there was a seminar discussion for the performance faculty. They were divided into four groups for discussion.


    Mo Liuxi waszily leaning on his chair. His feet were on the table, and his eyes closed. He wasnt participating in the discussion. He didnt look interested one bit.


    Zhang Hongchuan nudged him and said, Hey, you should at least show that youre participating. We have to write a report on thister.


    This is a piece of cake for me, Mo Liuxi said and turned away.


    Zhang Hongchuan was momentarily speechless. He finally said, Give me your phone. I want to show everyone the clip that you showed mest time.


    Take it yourself, Mo Liuxi said.


    Zhang Hongchuan reached into his pocket. A dried leaf fell out of his pocket.


    F*ck, what are you doing with a leaf in your pocket? he asked.

 Chapter 962. I Learned That From My Brother-in-Law

    Chapter 962. I Learned That From My Brother-in-Law


    Mo Liuxi turned and gave the leaf a careless nce. Yeah, why was there a leaf in his trousers pocket?


    He spent a few seconds thinking, then recalled that he took the leaf from Yan Sus hair, back in the music studio.


    He didnt want to throw it on the floor then, so he put it into his pocket.


    Just throw it away, Zhang Hongchuan threw it to the floor.


    Mo Liuxi automatically sprung up and swiftly caught the leaf in the air.


    His agile movement shocked Zhang Hongchuan. What are you doing? Its only a leaf. Its not a gift from a pretty girl, is it?


    Is it from Yan Su? Zhu Hao, another ssmate,ughed and said jokingly, I heard that you were with Yan Su in the music studio at noontime. Many people saw you guys.


    Youre overthinking. I just dont want to throw it on the floor. Its going to the trash can. Mo Liuxi sat back down, and said with a nd face, Nothing is going on between me and Yan Su. Dont gossip around. After all, shes a public figure. If the rumor spread, it would be bad for her.


    No way. Shes so pretty. Are you saying that you have no feelings for her at all? Zhang Hongchuan tittered. If I can spend some time alone with her, Id be so excited that I might stay up the whole night.


    Is she so pretty? I dont think so, said Mo Liuxi. My sister is pretty, and so is my Mom. I look at them every day, so Im immune to prettydies.


    Thats true. Youll be insensitive to pretty people if your family are all pretty, said Zhang Hongchuan with jealousy. So, whats going on between you and Yan Su?


    She asked me for help, Mo Liuxi answered the question. Because I have great musical talents.


    Ew. Zhang Hongchuan pretended to throw up, then said, That is enough. When have you be so disgustingly narcissistic?


    Mo Liuxi thought for a moment, then replied, I learned it from my brother-inw.


    He would have never said something like that before. He was probably influenced by Nian Junting. After all, they had a meal togetherst weekend.


    Arent you gonna do the discussion yet? Mo Liuxi said, reminding the others. The ss will end in ten minutes.


    Hearing that, the boys instantly started the discussion, without saying another word to him.


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head and looked at the camphor leaf in his hand. It was yellowing. He put it under his nose and sensed a nice aroma from it. His heart flipped a little. Atst, he put the leaf in his book.


    During the next few days, Yan Su adjusted the song a few times. On Tuesday night, she finalized it.


    On Wednesday morning, after breakfast, she put the music papers into her bag, put on some light makeup, and prepared to leave. As she opened the door, she saw the door next to hers was opened as well. Mo Liuxi walked out in a deep blue suit, matched with a white shirt. He looked like someone who was going to a fashion show.


    Dont you have ss today? Yan Su paused briefly. He was casual most of the time, so today, she felt a little strange seeing him so formal. His cold face gave out a strong vibe.


    Em. For the next couple of weeks, Im going to do some practice on the film site. Mo Liuxi nodded and said, The crew needs me today. Are you going to see Li Ming?


    Yeah. Yan Su was a little worried. Do you think I can make it?


    Mo Liuxi said four simple words, Leave it to fate.


    Yan Sus mouth twitched slightly. No one would encourage people with those words. Thank you for your help anyway, she said.


    Since you want to thank me, buy me an expensive meal if he picks you. Mo Liuxi smiled.


    Sure. Yan Su nodded. Anything that could be solved with food would not be a problem.


    They took the elevator together. Mo Liuxi went straight to the parking lot to get his sports car, while Yan Su got into her nanny van, heading to the audition site.


    Apart from the singers, some actors and actresses would also be there for the audition.

 Chapter 963. Yan Su Is Quite Interesting

    Chapter 963. Yan Su Is Quite Interesting


    When they arrived at the auditioningpany, Yan Su was stunned when she saw all the artists in line waiting with their manager.


    She knew that Li Mings work was gaining a lot of attention, but she didnt expect such a huge turnout for the audition. There were plenty of famous actors and actresses there, young and uing faces and familiar stars.


    Yan Su didnt know them well, so she picked a corner to sit by herself.


    Except for the female lead, the male and female supporting role, the rest of the cast is still undecided, Jiaojiao said. There are many people here for the auditions. They are happy to even get the small roles in this film because Director Li is famous for showcasing every characters trait. Some of the younger stars are trying to use this as a steppingstone to go into acting properly.


    They are willing to do that? Yan Su asked.


    When everyone is willing to lower their expectations, it no longer poses as a problem, Jiaojiao replied.


    Yan Su was quiet. There were fewerpetitors vying for the theme song of the film. There were only three of them, so they entered the lounge to wait their turn.


    She was the first to go in. She sat down to adjust her guitar. There was the sound of footsteps from outside. When she looked up, a red-haired woman about 30 years old walked in. She was wearing leather pants and had a cigarette in her hand.


    Pei Wei sister. Yan Su stood up.


    This was herpetitor, Pei Wei. She was a good singer who had an established career.


    I think you should leave while you can. Pei Wei was wearing 15-inch stilettos. She looked a lot taller than Yan Su and didnt look friendly at all. Did Xiang Wan sleep with someone powerful to help you get here today? Youre so young and new. Do you have the right topete with me and Ye Yunyang?


    Yan Su frowned. Although Nian Junting helped her a great deal in her career, she mostly owed her sess to Xiang Wan.


    If you were to bepared to Senior Ye, you are stillcking as well, she said. Can I assume that your manager slept with someone powerful to get you here today as well?


    Pei Weis expression changed. She said, You are really just like your manager, ying dirty tricks. We all know that Xiang Wan is supported by someone rich and powerful. How else could she afford to provide such resources to her artists?


    Yan Su nodded her head and said, Your manager must have someone like that as well. Or, maybe you do. You are almost the same age as Xiang Wan.


    You Pei Wei raised her hand.


    Yan Su lifted her cheeks. You can hit me, but you have to remember that this isnt yourpany. This is Director Lis turf. He hates people who bully others with their authority and power. Of course, I hope you do hit me, then you will be chased out of here and be eliminated as apetitor.


    Pei Wei, calm down, her assistant said as she tugged her sleeves.


    Well wait and see. Pei Wei angrily grunted. She walked to the front and sat down.


    Outside, there were two figures watching them. Li Ming took a puff of his cigarette and chuckled.


    Yan Su is quite interesting, he said.


    Mo Liuxis smiled. He had never seen this aggressive side of Yan Su before. She was always so easy to bully and easily flustered in front of him. He was worried that she might be bullied by Pei Wei and Ye Yunyang because of herck of experience. It looked like he didnt have to worry about her.

 Chapter 964. Mo Liuxi Was Sitting There

    Chapter 964. Mo Liuxi Was Sitting There


    At 10:00 a.m., the audition started.


    Yan Su went into the studio together with Ye Yunyang and Pei Wei.


    Near the French window, was a long table. A group of people were sitting behind the table. Li Ming was sitting in the middle, and the producer and assistant directors were on the sides.


    Usually, the three singers would look on the name board on the table when they arrived, but today their eyes were attracted by a young man beside Li Ming.


    That young man in a white shirt had deep sunken eyes and a perfect nose. His delicate lips were pressed together, into a beautiful arch; his hands were on the table, spinning a pen. Tall buildings and the blue sky were seen through the window behind him, making him look like an elegant, nobleman, who came from an oil painting.


    Yan Sus eyes widened in surprise.


    She couldnt believe the man who was in the elevator with her earlier, was now sitting in front of her with Li Ming and so many other famous people in the film circle.


    Earlier, he mentioned that he was working on a new film. Was that Li Mings film? Why didnt he say a word about it before?


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyes and gave Yan Su a nd nce, as if he didnt know her at all.


    She was a little unhappy.


    However, as she gave it some thought, she realized that it was inappropriate for him to let the others know that he knew her. If he did that, the others might think she pulled strings to get the audition.


    Li Mingughed. I knew the people wouldnt look at me today, especially the little girls. Its because Liuxi is sitting here. They will stare at him.


    Totally. He Jian, the producer, smiled and replied, We middle-aged people are here to make him look even better.


    Mo Liuxi raised his head and said, Shall we start? A lot of people are waiting out there.


    Youre right. Li Ming nodded, then looked at Yan Su and the other two singers. Afterward, he said to Ye Yunyang, Yunyang, Im sorry that I made youe here andpete with the others for this chance


    I understand. You are always serious about your films. Ye Yunyang smiled generously.


    Li Ming nodded and continued, I hope all of you understand that if I dont pick you, its not because you are poor at singing, but because your voice doesnt match our theme song perfectly. You are all good singers. I was going to invite you one by one, but as there are only three of you, I asked you toe in together, so thispetition can be fair. You will be able to learn about each others work. So now, please hand in the lyrics that you wrote.


    Yan Su and the other two singers handed in copies of their work.


    When she handed her copy to Mo Liuxi, he took it without looking at her.


    The director and the producer had a short discussion. Afterward, Ye Yunyang said, I haveposed music for the song. I hope that you can hear me sing it.


    Oh. Li Ming raised his eyebrows and said, Sure.


    Ye Yunyang sang a part of the unapanied song. Yan Su was highly impressed. Ye Yunyang was an experienced singer. His voice was deep, and the melody was beautiful. As he finished, Yan Su saw many people nod and praise him.


    Li Ming started the apuse. Good. Your lyrics areposed of simple words. Im surprised they sound beautiful when bing a song.


    Em. Mo Liuxi nodded, then quickly nced at Yan Su. He said, Miss Yan, I see that you brought your guitar. Are you gonna perform for us as well?


    Being reminded by him, Yan Su hurriedly nodded and said, Yes, Iveposed music as well.


    Li Ming was surprised, while Pei Wei got anxious. She was the only one who didntpose music. Director Li. I wasnt required topose music before. You only asked me to write the lyrics

 Chapter 965. There Is Something to Be Gained by Knowing Him

    Chapter 965. There Is Something to Be Gained by Knowing Him


    Mo Liuxi coldly twitched his lips and said, Miss. Pei, do you often get bad grades in school?


    Pei Wei didnt get his meaning.


    I guess you were one of those students who only read the materials that the teacher told them to read, Mo Liuxi said. When you failed an exam, youd only me the teacher for not giving you enough reading materials.


    The others immediately understood his sarcastic metaphor. The other directors and producers couldnt help but titter.


    Pei Weis cheeks turned red.


    The task I gave the three of you is the same, Li Ming said with a smile. The others made more effort than you did. I gave you an opportunity for fairpetition, but the most hard-working ones always win.


    Pei Wei didnt dare argue. She was very upset and aware that she was going to lose. She would have nothing to say if she lost to Ye Yunyang, but she couldnt ept losing to Yan Su.


    Miss. Yan, please start, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su nced at him gratefully. Finally, she felt that knowing him was a good thing.


    Yan Sus voice waspletely different from Ye Yunyangs. When she crooned, her voice was deep. Added with her guitar, her singing had a sense of rhythm that Ye Yunyangs didnt have.


    As she finished, the people apuded.


    Director Li liked her singing. He said, I have heard your songs before. Your voice is clean and bright, so I was worried that my theme would not suit you. After hearing you sing, I now know that my worries were unnecessary. I like your lyrics too. Im surprised that you expressed the emotions so well.


    Ye Yunyangs work is good too, He Jian, the producer, reminded Director Li, You cant forget about him after listening to Miss Yans voice.


    I know. Director Li rubbed his temples and said, How about this. Lets vote. The one who gets the most votes will be singing our theme song.


    Thats a good idea, the others agreed.


    Six people made votes. Ye Yunyang and Yan Su each got three votes, Pei Wei got zero. She felt so ashamed that her face turned scarlet.


    This is difficult, Director Li said.


    Yan Su was so nervous that her palms were sweating.


    I think we should choose Ye Yunyang, He Jian said. He is a highly skilled and experienced singer. His voice is familiar with most people over 30 years old.


    I think Yan Su is skilled too, and shes popr, said Yan Meng, the supervising producer.


    Mo Liuxi turned his pen. He finally joined the conversation and said with a cold voice, In fact, their voices can be impressive together.


    Director Lis eyes glowed. Are you saying that


    Mo Liuxi nodded and asked, Why cant they sing the song together? There is an age gap between them, but one of them has a touching, strong voice, and the other could sing with a floating, gentle voice. Shouldnt that be interesting? Besides, isnt Yan Sus voice perfect to be heard during the film when the female lead is put into a miserable situation? She can sing the ending song too, sad and deep. Ive heard her songs. Her love songs are great.


    Yes, you reminded me, Director Li patted the table excitedly and said, Lets do that. Yan Su and Ye Yunyang will sing the theme song together. I believe you two can create marvelous work together. As for the interlude song and the ending song, Yan Su will work on them.


    The rest of the crew nodded in agreement.

 Chapter 966. Buy Me Dinner

    Chapter 966. Buy Me Dinner


    Ye Yunyang turned and reached a hand toward Yan Su and said to her, Little girl, I hope well work happily together.


    Yeah, me too. Yan Su was so excited that her face reddened.


    After hearing Ye Yunyang sing, she didnt care if Director Li would pick her or not. After all, Ye Yunyang was excellent at singing. She sincerely admired him.


    The songs they wrote were about the same level. However, Ye Yunyang was much more experienced than her, so he was very likely to win. If Mo Liuxi didnt speak for her, she would certainly lose.


    In the end, she unexpectedly got both the theme and the ending song.


    She couldnt believe it.


    You both created good lyrics and music. So, I hope that you two can work together well, Li Ming said smilingly. Next, my assistant will help you sign the contract. I would like to have your support on all sorts of promotional events during the production of the film.


    No problem. Yan Su nodded. She sneakily nced at Mo Liuxi, and found him looking at his phone, as if he had nothing to do with what was happening.


    She smiled faintly. She understood he was not as cold as he looked. He was just like his sister.


    Pei Wei walked out of the studio with Yan Su and Ye Yunyang. Before leaving, she red at Yan Su.


    Jiaojiao covered her mouth and whispered, Why did she look at you like that? She lost to you already.


    Shh Yan Su put a finger against her lips and said in a deep voice, She is arrogant, but capable. Otherwise, Director Li wouldnt have invited her here. She lost this time because shes too self-righteous.


    She felt lucky that she wasparatively more hard-working.


    After signing the contract, Yan Su and Ye Yunyang exchanged phone numbers and WeChat numbers. As they prepared to leave, Yan Su got a message from Mo Liuxi Buy me dinner tonight.


    She smiled and snorted silently. He acted so coldly and pretended not to know her a few minutes ago, but now, he was asking her to buy him dinner.


    He had done her a big favor, so of course, she would buy him dinner.


    She replied with Sure. What do you prefer for dinner? How about I cook for you at home? I dont want the reporters taking pictures of us.


    Mo Liuxi We eat at home every day. Im bored. How about we go for an outing and do a barbecue this weekend? Youll do the barbecue, and Ill eat.


    Yan Su didnt see thating. She didnt know how to barbecue, but she assumed it wouldnt be hard.


    Going for an outing was a good idea. Ever since she started her career, she rarely went out.


    Yan Su liked the idea. Okay. Should we invite your sister and Mr. Nian? The two of us alone might be boring.


    Mo Liuxi replied  No. My sister is pregnant. Nian Junting wont let her touch barbecue. Besides, he would sit beside us and talk about how barbecue will bring cancer to people.


    Yan Su found him very right. Mr. Nian only ate in A-grade ces and would never let Luosange out alone. Currently, Luosang was like a first-ss national protected animal to Nian Junting.


    Soon, Mo Liuxi sent her another message. I wont be bored. With delicious food, Ill have fun, even if Im with a doll.


    Yan Su didnt know how to respond to that.


    Why dont you go with a doll then? she thought unhappily.


    So, she would be there only to make barbecue for him?


    Its a deal then, Mo Liuxi added.


    In front of the French window, Mo Liuxi was reading the messages on his WeChat. He was obviously in a good mood, as a big smile had emerged on his face.


    Li Ming nced at him, then kicked him under the table, saying in a low voice, Who are you texting? Why are you smiling that way? Do you have a girlfriend?

 Chapter 967. Was He Smiling Just Now?

    Chapter 967. Was He Smiling Just Now?


    The corners of Mo Liuxis mouth slightly twitched.


    Was he smiling just now? He didnt think so.


    Focus. Lets see their acting, he said to Li Ming.


    Damn. Whos the not-focusing one? Li Ming thought.


    More than 30 actors and actresses came for the audition. Some of them flew all the way there. Mo Liuxi tended to work with experienced artists since they were good at acting. The producer liked the popr ones more.


    Around noon, they had a simple lunch. They sat together and talked about one of the male supporting characters. During the meeting, He Jian received a phone call.


    After ending the call, he came back and said to the others, Here is an urgent message from the investor. She Xiang will be ying that supporting character.


    The others were surprised.


    Director Li pulled a long face and said, We were about to give that role to Pan Qingfeng. He is popr and a good actor. He is looking for a chance to expand his career, so he even lowered his price.


    Thats right. The assistant director nodded. Earlier, I read news saying that Shi Xiang acts like a diva. I hate it when my artists are like that.


    This is not for me to decide. He Jian was a little embarrassed and said, The investor strongly demanded we give him that role. We are talking about the biggest investor of this film. I couldnt say no to what they asked. Also, I have to remind you that we hired a Koreanpany for post-production. If we dont do what they say, the post-production team might leave.


    Director Lis face was sour. Mo Liuxi frowned. Shi Xiangs name wasnt strange for him. Earlier, he made Chu Jiu switch the spokesperson of his new game. Shi Xiang was the one who got reced.


    What exactly is Shi Xiangs background? Mo Liuxi was expecting to see Shi Xiang again. Doesnt the inte say that he was born in an ordinary family, built his career single-handedly in Korea, and then came back to China?


    Yan Meng burst intoughter and said, Can we believe everything the inte says? Who can possibly be a superstar so easily without a solid background?


    Its just a supporting role, He Jian helplessly said. Director Li,st time, they rmended an actor for another male supporting role in the film, but you refused to give him that role. There was already disagreement between them and us then. The character were talking about here is less important than that one. Hell only be in the film for about 10 minutes. It wont make any big difference. The audiences wont care that much. Besides, Shi Xiang called me personally. He told me that he would never snub anything and that what people said about his attitude was not true. He said that hell do whatever you say during filming. To be honest, no one ever dared to act like a diva in front of you, right?


    Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile and said, Im sorry. I have seen him act like a diva with my own eyes.


    Director Li nced at him.


    The father of one of my friends owns the gamepany, which recently fired Shi Xiang as the spokesman of their new game, Mo Liuxi said.


    Even if he used to do that before, I mean, no one ever dared work with Director Li with that kind of attitude, right? He Jian hurriedlymented. We really dont have to openly offend the investor right now. Now, everything is ready. The more time we waste, the more money it will cost. Even if switch our investor, the other investors would make the same request.


    Director Li gave a long sigh and said, The atmosphere of the film industry is getting worse. Thats why theres so many trashy movies nowadays. Alright, let him y that role. Well try to cut his part as much as possible.


    Mo Liuxi pressed his lips together. His unhappiness was evident.


    Shi Xiang wille here for the auditionter, He Jian said. We still have to go through the motions, but dont give him a hard time.


    At 1:30 p.m., Shi Xu auditioned. He had slightly changed his appearance. His hair was short, exposing his eyebrows, and his face was unshaven. He was wearing a denim jacket, which made him look like a ruffian. His new look was a little closer to the male role that he was going to y in the film.

 Chapter 968. Liuxi, Mind Your Language

    Chapter 968. Liuxi, Mind Your Language


    Recognizing Mo Liuxi who was sitting in front of him, his dark eyes wore a faint awkward look. But soon, that look faded. Heposedly bowed to Li Ming, then started his performance.


    Li Ming was delighted after watching his performance. It was not as bad as he thought it would be.


    He Jian pped and said, Shi Xiang, I never thought you were good at acting.


    Mo Liuxizily raised his eyes and said, Yes. His acting skills are okay,pared to those who know nothing about acting.


    Shi Xiangs expression froze on his handsome face. Awkwardly, he said in a low voice, I know that I still need to improve myself in many ways. Director Li, please tell me anything that is on your mind about my performance.


    Li Ming rubbed the spot between his eyebrows, then nodded.


    Sitting beside Li Ming, Mo Liuxi took a sip of water, then continued, I have a question. Mr. Shi, arent you a singer? You were doing good as a singer. Why did you suddenly decide to be an actor? To be honest, the doorsill for acting is getting lower and lower. Currently, Im seeing singers, hosts, andedy performers do cross-border acting work.


    Shi Xiang wore an embarrassed look. He raised his head, looking at Mo Liuxi in the eyes.


    He Jian frowned slightly and said, Liuxi, mind yournguage. Cross-border work is normal. Many of our actors and actresses are working as singers.


    The problem is, I dont think he has great music work. Mo Liuxi turned the water bottle in his hands, maintaining his cold tone of speaking.


    Director Mo, I guess youre still mad at me because of what happened in Shanghai. Shi Xiang smiled and said, It was not my choice that Miss Xu got reced. That was thepanys business.


    All right. Now is not the time to talk about personal issues. Li Ming interrupted him, then nced at Mo Liuxi and said to him with a low voice, Theres no reason to argue.


    Mo Liuxi undid the button below his corbone, then stood up and saidzily, Since we have chosen the supporting actor, I think I have no reason to stay here. You guys take your time to select the rest of them.


    After saying that, he turned and left.


    He Jian was a little unhappy. In front of the others, he said to Li Ming, Why is he so arrogant? His work is well-received internationally, but this is China. Who knows if his work will still do good here?


    Li Ming smiled at him, then exined saying, You may not know, but he has every right to be arrogant. He is the major shareholder of Luoxi Films; his mother is an heir of the Morrison Family from Luxembourg; his brother-inw is Nian Junting, the owner of Shengting. Do I need to exin to you who Nian Junting is? Currently, his sister is pregnant. She is like the national treasure in the Nian Family. Would she ever let her little brother suffer any unfairness?


    He Jiang didnt know what to say.


    Shi Xiang frowned. He didnt know that Mo Liuxi was Xu Luosangs brother.


    No wonder


    Xu Luosang was Yan Sus good friend, and Yan Su was selected to do the theme song. Did it have anything to do with Mo Liuxi?


    Yan Su stayed at thepany to work on the song with her team until 6:00 p.m. As she arrived downstairs at her apartment, she saw that Mo Liuxis light was on.


    She went upstairs, hesitated briefly, then walked to his door and knocked on it.


    Before long, Mo Liuxi opened the door. He was wearing knee-length pajama pants, with his upper body bare. His muscr chest was covered in water droplets. His hair was newly washed as well. While opening the door, he was drying his wet hair with a white towel. His fingers were clean and slender.

 Chapter 969. Did She Blush at the Sight of Him

    Chapter 969. Did She Blush at the Sight of Him


    Looking at him, Yan Su felt that her heart was burning. She had seen his body that morning but not so closely. She was in quite a hurry that morning. Now, his young and sexy body was right in front of her, making her cheeks turn red.


    Mo Liuxi noticed her red cheeks. He remembered her blush once before when he went to find her.


    Did she blush at the sight of him?


    He lowered his head and nced at his own body. The corners of his mouth turned up. He ripped off the towel, exposing his shoulders.


    Are you here to thank me? he asked.


    I didnt know you were in a shower. Ille backter. Yan Su turned, intending to leave.


    Its OK, Im done. Come in. Mo Liuxi held her arm. For the first time, he found her arm soft and tender.


    Yan Su nced at his hand. Mo Liuxi paused for a few seconds and quickly let go of her arm. He felt a bit awkward.


    Previously, every time a girl discovered where he lived and came to find him, he would want to drive them away with a broom. Seeing Yan Su, he didnt want to do that at all. It was strange.


    You havent dried your hair yet, Yan Su said.


    I never dry my hair, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su walked in. She changed into slippers and looked around the living room, purposefully avoiding looking at his chest.


    Just put on something, she said.


    She awkwardly put her hair behind her ear, identally exposing her red ears.


    Mo Liuxi wanted tough. It was nothing but his bare chest, so why did it make her so shy? She was like an innocent little girl. He even wanted to capture her and bully her.


    As he picked up a white T-shirt from the couch and put it on, Yan Su finally sighed with relief. Being close to a man who had a bare upper body at night made her feel ufortable, especially since she had slept with that man.


    Um Thank you, for today, she said with a low voice. Why didnt you tell me about your rtionship with Director Li before? Were you worried that I might ask you for help? You dont need to worry about that. I think youd never do that kind of favor for anyone, not even your sister.


    How did you know? Mo Liuxi took out a cup of yogurt from the freezer and handed it to her.


    The yogurt from that brand was delicious, so Yan Su took it. She said, Because most people who are difficult to get along with are like that.


    Once her voice faded, Mo Liuxis cold eyesnded on her.


    She immediately felt cold. Shivering, she added, Am Am I wrong?


    Give me that yogurt back, Mo Liuxi said as he reached out his hand.


    Yan Su blinked. For some reason, she pulled the yogurt close to her and said, No.


    Mo Liuxi looked at the yogurt but ended up being distracted by her breasts, which were upon the yogurt. She was wearing a thin, light-brown cardigan, that emphasized her full breasts.


    His Adams apple squirmed slightly as he hurriedly moved his eyes away.


    I was joking. Yan Suughed. She didnt notice the look in Mo Liuxis eyes. I know you helped me. I knew nothing about Director Li. You gave me hints and spent time to work on my music with me. If it werent for you, I might not even have a chance topete with Ye Yunyang. No to mention the fact that I won this opportunity. When do you have time? Well go out for a barbecue. Im not free at the weekend, but I have time Friday morning.

 Chapter 970. Do You Know Shi Xiang?

    Chapter 970. Do You Know Shi Xiang?


    What a coincidence! Im free on Friday morning too.


    He only had a technical demonstration ss that morning, but he would try to escape it.


    Im going to get us food. Mo Liuxi nodded.


    Thats not okay. Yan Su felt a little guilty about it. Weve agreed that Ill buy the food.


    You can give me the money afterward, said Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su didnt know how to respond.


    She was a little touched. It turned out that she was wrong.


    Noticing the change of her expression, Mo Liuxi thought for a moment and said, You dont have to give me the money. It wont be a lot anyway.


    No. That wont be all right. Didnt you say that except for your family and girlfriend, you wont spend money on anyone else? I understand. Yan Su said.


    You said that just now. How can I not give you the money? she thought.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. She was right, but


    At that time, Li Ming called him.


    Just get the call. Im leaving. Yan Su gave him a hand gesture to let him know that she was taking off.


    Mo Liuxi nodded, then answered the call. If youre gonna talk to me about Shi Xiang, forget it. I wont change my attitude.


    Yan Su who had just walked to the door, froze. She felt as if someone suddenly gripped her heart.


    She had broken up with him but could not forget him. Her heart ached every time she heard his name.


    She turned and watched Mo Liuxi talk on the phone.


    Li Ming said on the other side of the phone, Dont overthink. He will spend ten days with the crew at most. He has a strong background, and we were given no other choice. Dont let everyone know that you have issues with him. His fans are crazy and youre not famous yet in China. Dont bring trouble to yourself.


    Anyway, I wont direct his part. He is some. I would just scold him. Mo Liuxi finished talking, then ended the call. Afterward, he turned and found that Yan Su was still near the door, looking at him, as if she wanted to say something.


    Arent you leaving? Mo Liuxi thought she had left.


    I I just heard you mention Shi Xiangs name. Yan Su was guessing but didnt want to believe it. He isnt taking part in the new film, is he?


    Um. Mo Liuxi responded.


    Yan Su paused for a few seconds, then said, I didnt hear about it before. I didnt see him during the audition either.


    If she knew that he would be there, she would give up on the opportunity. She didnt want to see him during work. She could not face him withposure. Even looking at him would be like tearing open old wounds in her heart.


    Mo Liuxi snorted and said, I wouldnt have agreed to work on this film if I knew that Id have to work with him. Pan Qingfeng was supposed to be the supporting actor. For some reason, the investor reced Pan Qingfeng with him. He is just a singer. I wonder about his background. Judging by what the producer said, I think the producer cant afford to offend him.


    Yan Su felt bitter.


    What she heard from the TV station seemed to be true. She knew all about Shi Xiangs family background. His parents were ordinary workers, and his entire family lived together in an old t.


    How could he possibly be so powerful, if he was not with a rich and powerful girl?


    Whats wrong? The sensitive Mo Liuxi frowned, as he noticed that Yan Su suddenly became absent-minded. Do you know Shi Xiang? he asked.


    No. Yan Su hurriedly shook her head. I just think hes pretty famous. After all, were both singers.


    Can someone like that really be called a singer? Mo Liuxi snorted coldly. A singer needs to be like you, at least.

 Chapter 971. Were Her Husband and Brother Both Experts of Logic?

    Chapter 971. Were Her Husband and Brother Both Experts of Logic?


    Like me? What am I like? Yan Su wasnt expecting him to say that.


    She thought, Didnt he always say that my singing was merely average?


    Just average, Mo Liuxi said. He felt a little awkward. Arent you leaving?


    I am leaving, Yan Su said.


    She had a lot on her mind. She needed to go home and calm down.


    Back in her room, she browsed the contract. She wasnt an actress, but she still needed to participate in promotional events, including the opening ceremony that would take ce in a month. After the filming was done, she needed to attend more than 10 advertising events that would be held all over the country. Clearly, she would see Shi Xiang at all those events.


    Knowing that, she felt numb all over. She called Xiang Wan and asked, What do you think will happen if I chose to quit Director Lis new film?


    Xiang Wan was silent for a while. He suddenly yelled, Is your brain damaged? Are you asleep? Should I take you to the hospital to find out what is wrong with you?


    Yan Su didnt say anything else. She had no one else to talk to but Luosang. Only Luosang knew her story. She called Luosang and told her what had happened.


    I know you dont want to face him, but youre in the same circle now, Luosang said. Youll see each other sooner orter. Its even normal for you two to work together. Dont you see how many couples in the entertainment circle frequently run into each other at all kinds of events after they break up? Su, you cant give up your opportunities for a man like that. Its not worth it.


    Yan Su smiled bitterly and said, Sangsang, I think I have a very poor taste in men.


    Me too, Luosang said. Its alright. The people with good taste will discover us and fall for us, sooner orter.


    The two soon ended their call. Luosang turned and found Nian Junting leaning against the guardrail on the balcony, looking at her with a smile.


    Have you finally realized that I have great taste? He asked as he proudly raised his eyebrows.


    Have you been eavesdropping on our conversation? Luosang frowned.


    She recalled her conversation with Yan Su very carefully. She wasnt sure if she had mentioned Shi Xiangs name or not.


    Not eavesdropping. I was just listening to what you said. Nian Junting shrugged, Based on the information you provided, I figure that Yan Sus ex-boyfriend is a star and that theyre gonna work together in the new film. Yan Su is going to sing the theme song for that movie. Her ex-boyfriend is a toyboy, and he betrayed Yan Su. Hes probably with another woman now. Poor Yan Su.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    No wonder you two are good friends. Nian Junting clicked his tongue and said, You were in the same miserable situation.


    Can you please keep this secret? Luosang asked.


    She looked for information about that new film on her phone. The press had been paying attention to the film. Surprisingly, she found that Mo Liuxi was part of the crew.


    She hurriedly called him and said, I just read that both you and Su are working with Director Li on his new film. You must take good care of Su. If any man troubles her, you need to kick him away.


    What does her business have anything to do with me? Mo Liuxi coldly asked.


    As your sister, I demand you to do so. For the first time, Luosang used her sister privilege. Also, if you found that Su is getting unusually emotional, you should let me know immediately. Shes working so hard out there, and shes always alone.


    Is she an orphan? Mo Liuxi suddenly realized that he had never seen Yan Sus familye to her t.


    No, Luosang said. She had an issue with her family because of her ex-boyfriend.


    I get it, Mo Liuxi said. I bet her ex-boyfriend is from a poor family, so her parents didnt want them to be together. She chose him over her family.


    Luosang was speechless. Were her husband and brother both experts of logic? The guesses they made were all so right.

 Chapter 972. Hold Her, Comfort Her

    Chapter 972. Hold Her, Comfort Her


    How do you know? Luosang buried her forehead in her palm.


    Many TV shows tell a simr story. Based on Luosangs tone of speaking, Mo Liuxi figured that he was right. Somehow, he felt a little ufortable.


    He knew Yan Su had an ex-boyfriend, but never thought that she had sacrificed so much for him.


    What kind of man, made her so obsessed?


    Luosang felt speechless. She almost forgot that her husband was good at acting, and her brother was a director.


    Maybe you should talk to Su about it. Its her business after all, she said.


    All right. Clich. Mo Liuxi snorted coldly.


    Mo Liuxi threw his phone, still feeling very ufortable.


    The next morning, he knocked on her door. Yan Su answered the door, again with two huge dark circles under her eyes. Seeing him, she said, Im sorry. I didnt make congee. I n to have breakfast at schoolter.


    Why didnt you make congee? Mo Liuxi noticed how listless she was. She must have had poor sleepst night, and that was not because of work.


    Because Im in a bad mood, she said.


    The weather is great. Why are you in a bad mood? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Yan Su stayed silent. Could the good weather guarantee a good mood?


    Through gritted teeth, she responded with, Sometimes, women can be in a bad mood for no reason. I think you should have breakfast elsewhere the next couple of days.


    She quickly closed the door.


    The m of the door made Mo Liuxi take two steps backward. He was a little unhappy. He helped her yesterday, yet today she acted so unfriendlily to him. It was awful.


    In the canteen, Mo Liuxi looked around, but didnt see the familiar figure. He lowered his head to focus on the food, but after a few bites, he felt the food was tasteless. With nothing better to do, he started poking the pork rib in his bowl with his chopsticks.


    If you dont want the rib, Ill take it. Zhang Hongchuan picked a pork rib piece from his bowl.


    Mo Liuxi made no reaction. Instead, he held his chopsticks with both hands, and rested his pretty chin on them, without noticing the girls in the canteen whispering to each other because of his movements.


    Zhang Hongchuan sighed. A handsome boy could be charming with any movement he made.


    What do you think we should do when a woman is in a bad mood? Mo Liuxi asked abruptly.


    Zhang Hongchuan coughed out some rice.


    What are you doing! Mo Liuxi red at him, then hurriedly wiped his face and clothes.


    Im sorry. I think I misheard you. Zhang Hongchuan picked his ears with his finger and then asked, What did you say just now?


    I said, Mo Liuxi repeated his question through clenched teeth, What should we do when a woman is in a bad mood.


    Are you talking about your mother?


    Mo Liuxi stared at him and then said word by word, I dont care if my mother is in a bad mood or not.


    Zhang Hongchuan clicked his tongue and said, Who are you talking about then? Youre not in love with a girl, are you?


    How can it be possible? Mo Liuxi red at him.


    In love with Yan Su? That was highly impossible.


    She was pretty and good at singing and cooking. She was adorable when her cheeks turned red; her arms were soft, and her breasts were full. Apart from that, what else did she have to impress people?


    What Mo Liuxi couldnt ept, was the fact that she let herself be fooled by a man.


    Why is it impossible? You are a healthy man. That part of you is straight and healthy. Zhang Hongchuan tittered.


    Speak humannguage, said Mo Liuxi coldly.


    Eh-hem. Zhang Hongchuan cleared his throat and continued saying, Its simple. When a woman is in a bad mood, you should hold her,fort her.


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say.


    Hold Yan Su? That wouldnt be all right, would it?

 Chapter 973. I Think Im in Love with a Woman

    Chapter 973. I Think I''m in Love with a Woman


    He pictured holding Yan Su in his arms. She blushed all the time. He believed that she would shyly bury her face in his chest. Her skin was so soft and tender, so holding her had to feel nice.


    Suddenly, he recalled what happened that night in the hotel room. His mind wasnt clear at that time, but he remembered feeling that that woman was beautiful. His bones even felt soft when it happened. He guessed holding Yan Su would feel like that.


    Picturing An Nings face with that womans body, Mo Liuxi was suddenly disgusted. It was as if he had just eaten a fly. After recing that face with Yan Sus, he started feeling nice.


    What are you thinking about? Why are you having this dirty smile on your face? Zhang Hongchuan abruptly asked.


    Shut up, Mo Liuxi coldly said, slightly changing his expression.


    Zhang Hongchuan eyed him with a weird look and said, Liuxi, youve been acting strangetely. You smile for no reason, and you suddenly started to care if a woman was in a good mood or not. I bet youve fallen in love with someone. If youre not, Id chop my head off and let you sit on it.


    Me? Falling in love? Mo Liuxi smiled coldly. With whom?


    How am I supposed to know? Zhang Hongchuan rolled his eyes and said, You only talk to Yan Su in school, and you always leave once the sses are over. I dont know who you hang out with after school.


    Mo Liuxis heart leaped. Yan Su seemed to be the only woman he had been having contact with. That didnt make sense. He didnt even know when he started to like her.


    He rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and asked, What do you mean by falling in love? Tell me about it.


    Zhang Hongchuan sighed. Before knowing Mo Liuxi, he felt that thetter was a genius. After bing friends with him, he learned that the genius had no clue about interpersonal rtionships.


    First, you always want to see her, he said. Second, you always think about her. Third, you are upset when shes with another male. Fourth, you might suddenly find some part of her especially pretty. Fifth, sometimes, you want to send her WeChat messages even if theres nothing to say, and you like to run over her WeChat moments. Sixth, you care about if shes happy or not. Seventh, you cant stand letting other people hurt her. Eighth, you imagine holding her and kissing her. Ninth, you buy her food


    Alright, stop! The more Mo Liuxi listened, the more shocked he was.


    For the first few things, he could exin it with the fact that he wanted to have Yan Sus congee, but he had no idea why all that Zhang Hongchuan mentioned had already happened to him. He felt annoyed every time Lu Kang visited Yan Su, and he checked her WeChat moments in the middle of the night. Just now, he imagined what holding her felt like.


    Zhang Hongchuanughed and said, Bases on those nine things, if you got two, you have feelings for her. If you got four, you like her. Seven means you like her very much. If you got them all, youre beyond remedy.


    Im going out to get some milk and tea. You can have my ribs, Mo Liuxi said as he stood up.


    Oi, who on earth is that girl? Zhang Hongchuanughed.


    You are annoying me, Mo Liuxi said.


    He put his hands into his pockets and quickened his pace. When he was far away from the canteen, he found a stone bench to sit down and called Chu Jiu.


    I think Im in love with a woman, he worriedly said as he undid a few buttons on his shirt.


    Really? Chu Jiu was surprised. Isnt that good? It turns out that you like women not men.


    Mo Liuxi felt speechless. He thought, Hes totally missing the point.


    Im in love with a woman that I didnt like before, he said.


    Are you talking about the one that you slept with? Chu Jian asked.


    No, Mo Liuxi replied.


    How many women have been disliked by you? Chu Jiu was confused.

 Chapter 974. Why Didnt You Invite Me?

    Chapter 974. Why Didn''t You Invite Me?


    Mo Liuxi suddenly felt that he shouldnt have turned to him. He might as well keep talking to Zhang Hongchuan. I really dont like that one. Before, I didnt like this one either, but recently, I somehow started to like her.


    Chu Jiu was a little confused. Should I congratte you then? You finally like a girl.


    But she is three years older than me, Mo Liuxi said with a frown. Shes like a little girl though.


    Chu Jiu wanted tough. You think shes like a little girl because you like her. Anyway, this isnt easy. Since you like her, be nice to her.


    Emm. Ill try to marry her as soon as possible. Mo Liuxi nodded.


    Chu Jiu nearly choked on his saliva. You just started to recently like her, and youre already thinking about marrying her? Isnt that too fast? Besides, does she even like you?


    Shell like me sooner orter, Mo Liuxi responded with a nd tone. I like her, and Im serious about it.


    Chu Jiu didnt know what to say.


    Alright. I am impressed, he thought.


    After figuring out what was on his mind, Mo Liuxi felt rather strange about the result. He wanted to marry Yan Su, so that she would always make congee for him.


    At nightfall, he passed by a milk tea shop. He hesitated briefly, went in, and bought two cups of milk tea. One for himself, and one to go.


    Back home, he knocked on Yan Sus door, but no one answered.


    He sent her a WeChat message Arent you at home?


    She didnt reply. With disappointment, he recalled that she didnt answer his call earlier.


    An hourter, Yan Su replied to his message Im watching a movie.


    Mo Liuxi immediately opened the movie app on his phone. There wasnt any good movies showing. Who was she watching the movie with? Shes wasnt with Lu Kang, was she?


    He immediately asked her What is the movie?


    Yan Su replied Ready yer One.


    Mo Liuxi smiled. What a trashy movie.


    Yet, he replied to her Thats a nice one. Why didnt you invite me?


    Yan Su Do you like it? I didnt know. I think its just average.


    Mo Liuxi Who are you with? How much is the ticket? Is it expensive? Is there any discount?


    Yan Su Eh You are a director. Can a movie ticket possibly be expensive for you?


    Mo Liuxi Sure. I have to give every penny I have to my future wife.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say. She told herself she must pay him for the barbecue.


    Sitting beside her, Lu Kang noticed that she was sending WeChat messages the whole time. He couldnt help but ask her, Is the movie bad?


    Its not like that. Yan Su felt a little awkward. How much is the ticket? My friend wants to know.


    Lu Kang paused briefly, then responded with a smile, Eighty yuan.


    Thank you. Yan Su sighed with relief, then messaged Mo Liuxi Eighty yuan.


    Expensive, Mo Liuxi replied.


    Yan Su I think its okay. Not really expensive. Thats what a movie ticket usually costs.


    Since you found its not expensive, you can buy me a ticket next time. Thank you, Mo Liuxi replied.


    Yan Su felt speechless. What kind of person are you? she thought.


    Clenching her teeth, she replied to him Im sorry. Its expensive for me too. Bye.


    Reading her message, Mo Liuxi frowned.


    What a silly girl. He had obviously shown his intentions, yet she failed to get it.


    Would he ever care about eighty yuan? Was he that kind of a man?


    He finally stopped messaging her. Yan Su put her phone back into her purse. Thankfully, she ran away after sleeping with him. Otherwise, that stingy man might ask her to pay for the sex.

 Chapter 975. Yan Su Is Mr. Lus Girlfriend

    Chapter 975. Yan Su Is Mr. Lu''s Girlfriend


    Once the film was over, Yan Su zipped her jacket to cover her chin and put on her mask. It was crowded when they left the screen room. Lu Kang guarded her with one arm, in case someone bumped into her.


    Mr. Lu, someone called from behind.


    Lu Kang turned and saw Qiao Xue and Secretary Yuan, who also worked in hispany. Qiao Xue looked at Yan Su. Her face was a little pale.


    As a girl, Yan Su easily figured out how Qiao Xue might be feeling. She dropped her eyes and pulled her mask slightly upward. She regretteding out. Lu Kang was already by her school gate when she finished her sses. He told her that he had gotten the tickets. She didnt have the heart to say no.


    Secretary Yuan nced at Yan Su and said with a smile, Mr. Lu, we didnt know that you had a girlfriend. No wonder you rarely worktetely. This is


    Shes not my girlfriend, Lu Kang hurriedly said. Shes just a friend.


    He nced at Qiao Xue, who had remained silent, and asked, Are you here for the movie?


    Yeah, it just got over, Secretary Yuan said. I guess we just watched the same movie. Sadly, we didnt see each other until it was over.


    Lu Kang gave a polite smile and said, We have to go. I still need to drive her home.


    Qiao Xue abruptly joined the conversation and said, Mr. Lu, we live in the same area. Do you mind giving me a ride?


    It wouldnt be a problem, but Lu Kang worried that Qiao Xue might find out Yan Sus identity in the car. With no other choice, he shook his head and said, I have something to do after that, so Ill be going home veryte. Ask Miss Yuan to give you a ride.


    After saying that, he quickly left with Yan Su.


    Qiao Xue looked at his back with disappointment. She always knew Lu Kang had someone in his heart. She thought that she still had a chance since he didnt have a girlfriend. After seeing Yan Su, she guessed that she had no chance at all.


    Dont give up, Secretary Yuan said. You two work in the samepany every day. Youll always have a chance.


    Qiao Xue shook her head and said, Thats impossible. Didnt you see how pretty his girlfriends eyes were? I bet shed look stunning without that mask. And her body, and her bag. I think shes younger than me.


    Secretary Yuan burst intoughter and said, Come on, youre one of the pretty girls in ourpany. Mr. Nian even asked you to pretend to be his girlfriend once!


    Please dont mention that, Qiao Xue waved her hand and said, I almost killed him. It pains me to think about it. Why do I feel that Mr. Lus girlfriend looks so familiar? Oh, I know, Ive met her before. I had mtang with her when I was pretending to be Mr. Nians girlfriend. Shes good friends with Mrs. Nian. She became a star recently. Shes Yan Su. I know her.


    Yan Su is Mr. Lus girlfriend? Secretary Yuan was shocked.


    Qiao Xue dropped her head. Her eyes turned red. Forget it. Yan Su is 10 times better than I am. I finally understand why Mr. Lu doesnt like me. I give up.


    Secretary Yuan sighed and said, Just fight for it.


    How? I cant possibly win.


    Lu Kang drove Yan Su home. Yan Su unfastened her safety belt but didnt immediately get out of the car.


    Whats wrong? Lu Kang was a little excited, wondering if Yan Su was reluctant to leave him.


    Mr. Lu um Thank you for the movie, Yan Su hesitantly said. Youve always been a nice and thoughtful person in my heart. You took care of me and helped me. I appreciate all that youve done, but I want you to know that youre like a brother to me.

 Chapter 976. He Saw Mo Liuxis Glamorous Face

    Chapter 976. He Saw Mo Liuxi''s morous Face


    Lu Kang immediately felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water onto his head.


    Su, he said. You dont need to jump to conclusions. We can try to know more about each other. I know that you broke up with your ex recently, and that youre not yet over him. Youve given so much to that rtionship. I understand


    Yan Su shook her head and said, I dont know how long itll take me to get over myst rtionship. Maybe one year, or two, or even five. I dont want you to wait for me. Besides, youre like a brother to me. I dont have those kinds of feelings for you. I dont want to waste your time. I just dont feel that way for you.


    She understood that she was being a little too straightforward, but she really didnt want to waste Lu Kangs time.


    Lu Kang was frustrated.


    He had some hope after learning that she broke up with her ex-boyfriend.


    He was only Nian Juntings assistant, but he was not one of those people who lived on fixed sries. He had learned a lot about business from Nian Junting and had some savings too.


    He thought Yan Su would give him a chance.


    He didnt care if he was only a tool for her to get over herst rtionship.


    That girl we met earlier at the cinema is nice. I think her name is Qiao Xue. She seems to be fond of you Yan Su said.


    Do you know her? Lu Kang was surprised.


    Some time ago, she was asked to pretend to be Mr. Nians girlfriend. I met her back then. Shes pure-minded. If it wasnt for her, Sangsang and Mr. Nian wouldnt have gotten back together so easily. Yan Su thought about it. Cherish what you have.


    Su Lu Kang gave a bitter smile.


    I hope you find a girl and are happy. You are a great, mature, big brother to me Before Yan Su could finish, someone knocked on the car window on Lu Kangs side.


    Lu Kang felt a little annoyed. He opened the window and saw Mo Liuxis morous face.


    Mr. Lu! Its your car! No wonder I found the te number so familiar. I guessed that it was you driving Yan Su back from the cinema, said Mo Liuxi.


    How do you know we were watching a movie? Lu Kang couldnt force a smile at the moment, as he was just given the good brother card.


    She told me. Mo Liuxi nced at Yan Su who was in the front seat, then at her hand.


    Good. She wasnt holding hands with Lu Kang, and her lips werent red and swollen.


    You two are getting closer and closer. Im so jealous of you living so close with Su. Lu Kang felt a little weird. He honestly felt jealous of him though.


    Whats to be jealous of? Youd be tired of her if you had to see her every day, Mo Liuxi responded ndly.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    Lu Kang instantly felt delighted. He told himself that he was overthinking. Even his boss wasnt as sharp-tongued as Mo Liuxi. He assumed that Yan Su would never like him.


    Im leaving. Mo Liuxi stood straight, seemingly prepared to leave, but abruptly, he bent over and said to Yan Su, Arent you leaving? I need to talk to you about the movie.


    Yan Su paused briefly, then hurriedly nodded, sighing in relief. Mr. Lu, Ill see you then.


    Lu Kang was terribly frustrated. Are you guys working together on a movie?


    Yeah. Yan Su got off the car and walked into the apartment building together with Mo Liuxi.


    Lu Kang looked at them walking away. Mo Liuxi was about a foot taller than Yan Su. He was in a white shirt, carrying a few bags. Walking side by side, they looked like a young couple. At that moment, he realized that he looked much older than Yan Su.

 Chapter 977. Why Are You so Nice to Me?

    Chapter 977. Why Are You so Nice to Me?


    While waiting for the elevator, Yan Su nced at Mo Liuxi and asked, Why are you out sote at night?


    She remembered that he barely had any nightlife.


    I was hungry, so I went out to get some milk tea and after-dinner snacks, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su saw him carrying two cups of milk tea from the ce she liked.


    Do you want one? Mo Liuxi handed her a cup.


    No, thank you. Yan Su shook her head.


    She thought, What if he asks for money if I ept it?


    Take it. I got an extra cup anyway, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su didnt feel right to say no again. She took it and asked, How much? Ill pay you via WeChat.


    Just $10, Mo Liuxi ndly responded.


    Alright. Yan Su nodded.


    She sent him the money once she got into the elevator. The signal was bad in the elevator, so Mo Liuxi received the money when he exited it.


    He instantly pulled a long face and asked Yan Su, Why did you send me money?


    Its for the milk tea. Yan Su didnt understand why he suddenly got so unhappy, Do you charge extra for


    Mo Liuxi let out a breath, wondering why in the world he had fallen for such a silly woman. Life was full of surprises.


    Didnt I tell you that it only cost $10? Why did you still pay me for it? he asked through clenched teeth.


    Yan Su blinked and said, You said $10 but didnt say that I didnt need to pay you. I thought you were telling me the exact price.


    Do I look like such a stingy person? Mo Liuxi coldly asked with a re.


    Yan Su nodded and said, Yeah.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. She seemed to have some deep misunderstandings about him. He understood that, though. He had never thought about building a rtionship with her before. Now, he had decided to make her his girlfriend. That would be something different.


    He couldnt say that out loud. He needed to do it step by step, or she might get frightened.


    Alright, Im not gonna take your money, Mo Liuxi ndly said. I can afford to buy you a cup of milk tea. Do you want some after-dinner snacks? I got plenty.


    Yan Su did want some spicy crawfish. She had dinner with Lu Kang earlier, but that dinner wasnt satisfying since she had so much on her mind.


    Why are you suddenly so nice to me? she asked.


    She felt a little strange about Mo Liuxis behaviors, which made her worry.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent briefly before saying, For some reason, I recently feel that having after-dinner snacks alone is boring. I prefer eating with someone else. Thats more interesting.


    Yan Su nodded. She understood how he felt. She felt the same.


    But, why? Dont you always eat alone? she asked.


    Mo Liuxi was annoyed by her questions. I guess Im just old enough to feel lonely sometimes, he said.


    Eh I think youre only 20, right? The corners of Yan Sus mouth slightly twitched. She was 23. If 20 could be called old, what was she?


    Yeah, I recently turned 20. Dont you think thats a big step in my life? Mo Liuxi walked to his t and said, Come on.


    Let me drop my bag off first, Yan Su said.


    Three minutester, Yan Su went to Mo Liuxis ce. He had already put the food on the table. When she got there, he was sitting on the carpet with his legs crossed. The room was full of the scent of the delicious crawfish.


    This carpet is clean. Come and sit here, Mo Liuxi said as he waved her over.


    He took a cup of milk tea out of the stic bag, put a straw into the cup, and ced the cup in front of her.


    Thank you. Yan Su took off her shoes and moved to the carpet. Holding the milk tea, she felt a little uneasy.


    Why are you so nice to me tonight? she asked.

 Chapter 978. That Silly Girl Would Believe Anything He Said

    Chapter 978. That Silly Girl Would Believe Anything He Said


    He even put a drinking straw in her tea. That never happened before.


    Im always nice. Mo Liuxi lowered his head and started peeling a crawfish. Youll find that Im nicer than you think I am, he thought.


    Yan Su pretended not to hear what he said. She put on gloves and picked up a crawfish. Why is the crawfish cold? she asked after she touched it.


    Yeah, its cold, Mo Liuxi nodded.


    He bought the crawfish three hours ago.


    He, of course, could not tell her the truth. With a frown, he said, I guess the restaurant owner didnt give me freshly cooked crawfish. Ill never go to that restaurant again.


    Yan Su nodded, then lowered her head to nce at the name of the restaurant, which was written on the stic bag. She told herself that she would never go to that restaurant either.


    Seeing her reaction, Mo Liuxi slightly turned. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile.


    This silly girl believes anything I say, he thought.


    What were you and Lu Kang talking about in the car just now? I happen to notice that his car was parked there for a while. Was he telling you that he likes you? Mo Liuxi asked while eating the crawfish. He pretended to be casual. He seems to fancy you, and you went to watch a movie with him. Do you like him too?


    Yan Su shook her head and responded with, No. I just wanted to make it clear with him. We cant be together.


    Youre right. Mo Liuxi nodded. He is nice, but too old for you. I think you better be with someone from school, or from your circle, so there wont be a generation gap between you and your partner. Of course, by circle, I didnt mean the circle of singers. I meant the whole entertainment circle, like the circle of the show business.


    He was talking about himself. He was from her school and was a part of the entertainment circle.


    As a director, he had set a foot in that circle.


    He would be an internationally famous director sooner orter. A director and a singer could make a perfect match.


    The entertainment circle? I never thought about that. Thinking about Shi Xiang, Yan Su had a trace of sadness emerging from her eyes. That circle is way tooplicated, and messy. Many people in that circle cant resist temptation. Many of them cheat on their partners and betray their friends. Ill never be with someone from that circle.


    Mo Liuxi dropped the crawfish in his hand.


    That would be a big problem. He was meant to be a director and couldnt possibly be anything else.


    Not everyone is like that. Look at me. Am I not keeping my nose clean? And you. You have been resisting the lures too, havent you?


    He was trying to say that in the entire entertainment circle, they were the perfect match for each other.


    Me? Yan Su gave a bitter smile and said, I am like this now, but Ill probably change in the future. Who knows what I might turn into? As for you. Youre so talented, and you own a filmpany. Youll be the one pursued by the others. I guess money doesnt mean that much to you. Youll probably meet a pretty girl in the future


    I wont. Mo Liuxi suddenly interrupted her.


    He spoke so loudly that Yan Su gave a start. The crawfish in her hand was squeezed, and the juice sshed onto her face, seeping into her eyes.


    She hurriedly took off her gloves and wiped her eyes with the backs of her hands.


    The harder she wiped, the worse it hurt.


    Dont move. You have oil on the back of your hands too. Mo Liuxi held her hands. Her hands were so small and soft that he didnt want to let them go.


    After spending a few seconds in a daze, Mo Liuxi finally came back to his senses. He stood up and said, Sit here. Ill get you a wet towel.


    Yan Su nodded. Her eye sockets were red, making her look very vulnerable.


    Mo Liuxi gave her another nce, then quickly brought over a wet towel, gently wiping her right eye with it.

 Chapter 979. His Eyes Were Burning, Making Her Face Feel on Fire

    Chapter 979. His Eyes Were Burning, Making Her Face Feel on Fire


    This was his first time looking at her face so closely. Her skin was clean and tender, like jelly, without any freckles or e. He even wanted to take a bite of that skin.


    Mo Liuxi stopped himself from doing anything that he should not be doing. He put his other hand on her face.


    Yan Su was a bit startled when his warm hand suddenly touched her cheek.


    What are you doing? she asked as her cheeks reddened.


    You were moving, so I couldnt wipe the oil off your face, Mo Liuxi said as he moved closer to her.


    His handsome face was only about 5 inches away from hers. Yan Su was so nervous that she didnt even dare breathe loudly.


    I wasnt moving, she said.


    You were. You just didnt realize it. Mo Liuxi wanted so much to pinch her cheeks, but he couldnt.


    Yan Su doubted what he said. Due to their current positions, her brain wasnt working well. asionally, the towel brushed across her nose, allowing her to smell the scent that belonged to him.


    It was his towel. Normally, people didnt share towels with others. Even some couples wouldnt share towels.


    The spicy oil burned her cheeks. As Mo Liuxis towel left her eyes, she tried to open them. She moved backward and said, Im OK.


    Be careful, Mo Liuxi said. Youre just having some crawfish. I cant believe you let that happen. You dumb little girl.


    He lowered his voice when saying thest few words. Listening carefully, one might sense an affectionate tone from them.


    Yan Su didnt sense it. On the contrary, she felt humiliated.


    What did you say? she asked. Im three years older than you. Can you please show me some respect?


    I dont think so. Mo Liuxi dropped the towel and turned up the corners of his mouth.


    She was older than him, but she needed his caring.


    Yan Su clenched her teeth and asked, Would I squeeze crawfish juice into my eyes if you didnt scare me just now?


    I did nothing but raise my voice a little bit, Mo Liuxi said. He looked at her without blinking. You shouldnt have mentioned pretty girls or something like that. Im telling you, if I ever fell for a girl, Id love her my whole life.


    Yan Su paused briefly. She couldnt tell if that was real, but his eyes were burning, making her face feel on fire.


    Alright, I believe you, but I dont need to know what kind of girl you like, she said.


    I dont want the others to misunderstand me, Mo Liuxi said.


    He turned his face away. He decided to end that topic since he didnt want to scare her.


    Oh. Yan Su nodded and continued removing the crawfish shell. She had about 10 crawfish. Im full. Im going home.


    After saying that, she stood up.


    Mo Liuxi turned and said, You said that you were in a bad mood earlier. Are you feeling better now?


    Yan Su paused and turned back. She saw the back of Mo Liuxis head. He was focusing on the food as if it was only a casual question to ask.


    Im better, she responded with a dry voice.


    Running away was not a solution. Shi Xiang was a barrier to her, and she had to cross it.


    Good. I dont want your bad mood to affect our barbecue trip on Friday, Mo Liuxi said.


    After Yan Su left, Mo Liuxi looked at the rest of the crawfish in his bowl. Suddenly, he felt that he had lost his appetite.


    That was exactly why he didnt want to start a rtionship. That could really affect his appetite. For the first time in his life, he lost his appetite for after-dinner snacks because of a woman. That was terrible.


    The next day, Yan Su was awoken by knocking on her door. She put on a coat and unhappily answered the door. As she thought, Mo Liuxi was standing there.


    Before she started toin, he threw his phone into her hand and said to her, Look, youre in the headlines.

 Chapter 980. So You Took Pictures and Leaked Them to the Press, Trying to Ruin Her Reputation?

    Chapter 980. So You Took Pictures and Leaked Them to the Press, Trying to Ruin Her Reputation?


    Yan Su picked up the phone and looked at the headline news. It was a picture of her and Lu Kanging out of the cinema. Lu Kangs face was covered up. She was wearing a mask, but people could still recognize her by her eyes.


    The headline was  Yan Su and Her Boyfriend Watched a Movie in the Evening, Then Went Back to the Apartment to Spend the Night Together.


    How did this happen? Yan Su was shocked and angry. The press is making up stories! When did we go back to the apartment together? Is there a picture of using back here?


    You shouldnt have gone to the cinema together with him. Dont you know that it cost them nothing to make up lies? Mo Liuxi felt ufortable when he saw the picture of Yan Su and Lu Kang together. What now? You are still a new artist, yet youre already involved in a scandal. Your manager will be angry.


    Being reminded by him, Yan Su immediately thought of her manager. She hurriedly shut her door.


    The m of the door made Mo Liuxi take two steps backward. He frowned, but then smiled.


    I doubt youll ever go out on a date with anyone else again, he thought.


    Yan Su found her phone and saw over ten missed calls from Xiang Wan and Jiaojiao.


    She hurriedly called Xiang Wan. Xiang Wan answered and asked through clenched teeth, Why didnt you tell me that you have a boyfriend? Whos that man?


    I dont have a boyfriend. I just watched a movie with a guyst night. Yan Su exined with a bitter smile. I made it clear to himst night. Hes Lu Kang, the assistant of Mr. Nian from Shengting.


    Oh, him. Xiang Wan responded knowingly. Ill make a Weibo post on behalf of youter. Is it okay to deny the rumor?


    Its okay.


    You need to be careful. Dont go out with any boy alone, or the press might take more pictures of you and use you of being a ygirl. Thats gonna be bad for your reputation. As for this mediapany, well sue them for defamation.


    Okay. Suddenly, Yan Su was reminded that she was going to barbecue with Mo Liuxi in a couple of days; it made her worry.


    Lu Kang arrived at the office early in the morning. Someone from the CEOs office showed him the headline news on the phone.


    After reading the news, his expression instantly changed. He would be fine, but he worried it might affect Yan Sus career and reputation.


    Yan Su had her face coveredst night. How did people recognize her?


    Right at that moment, Qiao Xue came over in haste to punch her card.


    Lu Kang frowned. He walked up to Qiao Xue and said to her, You recognized Yan Sust night, didnt you?


    Qiao Xue nodded and said, Yeah, Ive met her.


    So you took pictures and leaked them to the press, trying to ruin her reputation? Lu Kang showed her the headline news on his phone.


    I didnt do that. Qiao Xue looked at him with disbelief.


    She dressed like this. How could the others possibly recognize her? Lu Kang tightened his face. Because of this incident, Yan Su would never go out with him again.


    How am I supposed to know? Am I such a sneaky person in your eyes? Qiao Xue burst into tears with anger. Nothing could be worse than being wronged.


    Why are you two arguing in the middle of the hallway? The tall and sturdy Nian Junting showed up by their side, ncing at each of them.


    Qiao Xue didnt look at him, but stared straight at Lu Kang and said, If you think Im that kind of person, I have nothing more to say.


    She then turned and ran away.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead. Qiao Xue was probably the only one in thepany who would dare ignore him.


    Lu Kang, get into my office.

 Chapter 981

    Chapter 981


    Nian Junting sat into his ck leather chair and said, You must have wronged Qiao Xue. Shes not that kind of person.


    Lu Kang was in a bad mood. Yan Su put him into the friend zonest night. He was so upset that he didnt even sleep. He questioned Qiao Xue without thinking after he read the news.


    But She was therest night, and shes been


    Nian Junting interrupted him, You guided Qiao Xue on work. Dont you know what kind of person she is? Besides, is she smart enough to do that?


    Lu Kang stayed silent and thought, Boss, that sounds mean.


    I let her pretend to be my girlfriend, and she nearly killed me in the end, Nian Junting said. I let her work in the CEOs office, but she failed almost every task I gave her. Think about it. If shes really as capable as you said, Id make her my secretary right now.


    Im sorry. Lu Kang dropped his head.


    Apologizing to me wont help you. Nian Junting nced at him and asked, Are you and Yan Su together?


    No, Lu Kang replied with a bitter smile. No. She made it clear to me. I have no chance.


    Its no big deal. Looking at his sad face, Nian Junting stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, There are other fish in the sea. Not everyone has a great taste as my Luo does. You need to understand that.


    I do. Lu Kang almost cried. Mr. Nian, Miss. Xu rejected you once, didnt she? How did you gather your courage to try again?


    Did she do that? Nian Junting red and asked, Wasnt she ying the hard-to-get game?


    You are right. Lu Kang dropped his head again.


    He thought about how his boss asked him to buy books about do sweet-talks in the middle of the night. He didnt mention that, though. If he did, he might not be able to leave the office unharmed.


    After Lu Kang left the office, he received a call from Yan Su.


    Su, Im so sorry, he said. I didnt know this would happen.


    Its OK, Yan Su said. I was careless enough to let them take pictures of us. The paparazzi are following me closely these days.


    Paparazzi? They took the picture? Lu Kangs heart leaped.


    Yea, my manager has decided to sue that presspany, Yan Su said.


    Good. Ill find a way to take you off the top search list, Lu Kang said.


    He ended the call and started feeling bad about what he said to Qiao Xue. Suddenly, he received a call from thepanys inside line. It was the HR manager.


    Mr. Lu, Qiao Xue from the CEOs office submitted her resignation just now


    The next day, Mo Liuxi came to Yan Sus ce for breakfast. Surprisingly, he found the breakfast extra rich. Along with seafood congee, they had dumplings and eggs.


    Are these good? Isnt this a rich breakfast? Yan Su looked at him without blinking.


    Not bad. Mo Liuxi nodded, enjoying the food.


    Great, Yan Su said. Can you take this as how I thank you for your help so we dont have to go for barbecue?


    Mo Liuxis face immediately turned cold. He dropped the spoon, raised his head and knitted his brows. Under his gaze, Yan Su felt a little guilty.


    After the incident with me and Mr. Lu, mypany warned me to be careful, she said. I shouldnt go out with any male alone again.


    Mo Liuxi folded his arms. His eyes were filled with discontent. So, you made trouble with another guy, yet I have to pay the price. Is that right?


    How about we eat at home? Yan Su did feel guilty.


    No, Mo Liuxi said. How about this. Well find a quiet suburban area. I promise you that I wont let anyone take any pictures of you. I own a filmpany. Who would dare take pictures of you and me? No one would do that, trust me.

 Chapter 982

    Chapter 982


    Yan Su couldnt argue with him. He seemed to be right.


    She felt that he was acting a little weird though. Why do you want to go out for barbecue so much?


    Because the weather is nice and its getting cold soon. Who would go out then? Besides, Im about to start working with the film crew. Mo Liuxi made himself sound very reasonable. Dont you wanna rx a little? Can youe up with any good lyrics staying home every day?


    Yan Su thought for a moment, then agreed. You have to make sure there wont be any scandal about us.


    Im not silly. My film is gonna start shooting soon. Creating a scandal now will ruin my own reputation too. Dont forget that I helped you before. I dont want the others to know that we know each other either.


    Hearing that, Yan Su finally stopped worrying and went back to her t.


    On Friday, Yan Su was sitting in Mo Liuxis sports car. They were going out for barbecue. She had no idea where they were heading and fell asleep as soon as she got into the car. When she woke up, she found herself in a suburb area, next to a clear river.


    Isnt this North Mountain? You drove all the way here? Yan Su clicked her tongue. North Mountain was at least an hour and a half from her apartment.


    Emm. Mo Liuxi nodded. What did you dost night? You slept all the way.


    I was talking to brother Yunyang about the theme song. Yan Su rubbed her eyes and said, Hes amazing. We have a lot to talk about, and I learned a lot from him.


    As she just woke up, her voice was as soft as water. The words brother Yunyang escaped her lips with a sweet, intimate tone.


    Mo Liuxi wasnt happy to hear that. How long have you guys known each other? How can you call him brother already? Besides, hes twenty years older than you. You should call him uncle, shouldnt you?


    Yan Su sighed. Who likes to be called that nowadays? That would be offensive.


    People should ept their real age, said Mo Liuxi ndly. You need to be careful when youre working with him. I heard the more serious a man looks, the morescivious and twisted he could be.


    Yan Sus eyes widened and she stared at him.


    Mo Liuxi looked straight ahead and continued while driving. Didnt you say the entertainment circle isplicated?


    I am aware of that. You dont need to remind me of it. Yan Su lowered her head to look at her phone.


    The roads in that area involved a lot of bends. After spending a while looking at her phone, Yan Su felt a little dizzy and wanted to throw up.


    When they arrived at the destination, she almost crawled out of the car. Her face was ghastly pale. She felt sick but couldnt vomit.


    You shouldnt look at your phone while the car is moving. Mo Liuxi found a bag of ginger from the car and handed it to Yan Su. He then took out a folding chair from the trunk and opened it for her to sit on. Just sit here and have some fruit.


    Yan Su felt guilty. Let me rest a little. Ill start the fire once I feel better.


    No need. Youll do the barbecueter, and Ill do the preparation work. Mo Liuxi took out the grill and started a charcoal fire.


    He had done that type of work since he was little, so it didnt take him long to set the charcoal on fire. As he had his back to Yan Su, he deliberately wiped his face with his hands which were stained by charcoal. As he turned back, Yan Su who was eating a mango hurriedly dropped the mango and said to him, Your face is dirty.


    Yeah? Mo Liuxi lowered his head and wiped his left cheek with his sleeve.


    The other side. Yan Su reminded him.


    Mo Liuxi started wiping the other side of his face, but never really touched the dirty area.


    Come here and let me help you. Yan Su couldnt bear to watch.


    Alright. Mo Liuxi walked over to her and squatted before her. His eyes contained a faint smile. The sunlight poured onto his fair skin. His pretty face was morous as ever, and those stains added adorableness to it.

 Chapter 983

    Chapter 983


    She suddenly felt a little shy, so she stayed motionless for a short while.


    Mo Liuxi pretended not to notice the look on her face. He raised his eyebrows and said, Come on, do it.


    Yan Su pressed her lips together. She took out a wet tissue from her pocket to wipe his face. Once she reached out, Mo Liuxi tilted his head to dodge.


    How am I supposed to wipe your face while youre moving your head like that? Yan Su asked.


    Do you now know why I put my hands on your face that night? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Yan Su recalled having crawfishes together with Mo Liuxi that night. It was no wonder it felt familiar when she tried to wipe Mo Liuxis face. It turned out that the same thing had happened to them before. They had just switched ces.


    She was a girl. She couldnt possibly hold his face, could she?


    Just, dont move. Yan Su became serious and said, I cant wipe your face like this.


    Youre too strong. Youre hurting me, Mo Liuxi blinked and said.


    Im not your sister. Yan Su felt a little speechless. It was the first time someone called her too strong. I was careful, she said.


    Maybe its because Im too weak. Mo Liuxi thought for a moment and said. My sister took away all my strength while we were still in our mothers womb,


    Yan Su burst intoughter. Failing the argument, she pressed a palm on one side of his face and wiped his cheek hard.


    Mo Liuxi closed his eyes. His eyshes were thick and long. They looked like a pair of brushes. Yan Su was stunned by how pretty eyshes were. Her palms started burning, but she didnt notice that.


    A car suddenly drove onto thewn. A woman, who was about 30 years old, came out from the front seat and said, Wow, this ce is beautiful. Lets do the barbecue here.


    It was a family. Two parents and one kid.


    Yan Su hurriedly dropped her hand from Mo Liuxis face in a panic.


    Mo Liuxi gripped her wrist and dragged her toward his chest.


    Yan Su was sitting on a small stool. Without preparation, she ended up falling into his arms.


    His warm and muscr chest pressed against her face. She could even sense his chest heaving and smell the familiar scent of hisundry detergent.


    Her heart thumped. As she came back to her senses, Yan Su hurriedly tried to push him again.


    Mo Liuxi didnt let her go. He put an arm around her waist. In a deep voice, he whispered in her ear, Dont move. Do you want those people to recognize you?


    Yan Su stayed still. She didnt dare make any other move because she wasnt wearing a mask. There had been no one else around before.


    She thought, I could always turn around. I dont have to hold him, do I?


    Yan Su raised her head to re at him. She started to suspect that he was taking advantage of her on purpose. He had done that before, so she regretteding out with him alone.


    However, if she pushed him away now, the family would notice.


    Cooperate with me. Lets disgust them and make them leave, Mo Liuxi said in a low voice. He abruptly raised a hand and stroked her hair. After that, he loudly said, Baby, do you feel better now?


    Yan Su stayed silent. She felt really awkward and ashamed.


    Baby, why dont you say anything? Are you shy? Is it because some other people are around? Mo Liuxi coldly nced at the family while speaking. He put his lips near Yan Sus as if no one was watching. Baby, youll feel better when I kiss you.


    Mo Liuxi moved closer to Yan Su while disabling her head from moving by pressing a hand against the back of her head. He didnt really put his lips hers. Instead, he stopped less than an inch from her and gently breathed into her face.


    Yan Su tried so hard to shrink back, but he had pressed her head so tightly that she couldnt move. Thankfully, he didnt really kiss her. Her face was already scarlet.

 Chapter 984

    Chapter 984


    Dont move. Lets make this look real so theyll feel too disgusted to stay, Mo Liuxi said to her with a gentle voice.


    He breathed into her face. His breath had no peculiar smell but gave out a refreshing orange aroma.


    Yan Su spent less than one second looking into his bright eyes before she turned her eyes away awkwardly. The harder she tried to avoid him, the worse her face burned.


    From the angle of the parents and the kid, they looked like a young couple who were indulged in a long kiss.


    The kid started talking first. Mommy, theyre kissing.


    Dont look at them. The mother hurriedly covered her daughters eyes, then said to her husband embarrassedly, Lets go.


    Why do we have to? The man raised his voice on purpose and said, Some young people are shameless nowadays. How can they make intimate moves in public? Why dont they stay at home if they want to kiss each other so much?


    Yan Su had never been through something like this. She pinched Mo Liuxis thigh as hard as she could. The people didnt see her face, but she was too shy to continue what she was doing.


    Do you think you still have a way out? Do you want them to stay and see your face? Mo Liuxi said. Yan Su couldnt argue with that.


    Baby, your lips are so soft, Mo Liuxi said while making some noises that sounded like two entangled tongues, with his mouth.


    Mommy, what is that noise? The kid asked.


    All right, lets go. The mothers entire body was burning once she heard that question. She dragged her daughter into the car, then said to her husband, You can stay if you want, but were leaving.


    So shameless. The man cursed with a deep voice, then got into the car as well. He really didnt have a choice.


    Once the family drove away, Yan Su pushed Mo Liuxi to the grass, then stood up and said, Youre such a rogue! Her face blushed a scarlet color.


    Mo Liuxi didnt rush to stand up, but sat on the grass, raised his eyebrows, and looked at her with a faint smile and said, Why am I a rogue? I didnt really kiss you just now.


    You didnt, but you suddenly hugged me and Yan Su couldnt even say the words. She stared at him with red cheeks and continued saying, You put your arms around me. I now suspect you were thinking about some indecent activity when you invited me for the barbecue.


    If I didnt do that, theyd stay here. Thiswn is small, so theyd easily see your face. And, if we left abruptly, they would get suspicious, right? Under the sunlight, Mo Liuxi found Yan Sus red cheeks especially cute.


    Why didnt he feel so before?


    He did nothing but put his arms around her, yet, that made her so shy.


    Yan Su didnt know how to respond.


    As a girl, she had a feeling that Mo Liuxi was acting a little strange today. He used to be cold and mean to her, but today, he was so different.


    Anyway, you made that disgusting noise Yan Su buried her head in her hands. She didnt want to think back about that moaning that he let out from his nose just now, because that would make her feel extremely ufortable. I suddenly found theres another profession that suits you.


    Mo Liuxi frowned, knowing that she wasnt going to say anything nice.


    As he thought, she rolled her eyes and continued with, Emm, you can be a star in those kind of movies


    What kind of movie? Mo Liuxi failed to understand her at first.


    That Yan Su put her two forefingers together, and said with a low voice, Porn movies.


    Mo Liuxis handsome face immediately darkened.


    As he suddenly stood up from the ground, Yan Su took a fright, and turned and ran toward the river. Mo Liuxi caught up with her and carried her in his arms.


    What are you doing? At that moment, Yan Su forgot about how shy she felt, and clutched his clothes. She was afraid that he might throw her to the ground and break her bones.

 Chapter 985

    Chapter 985


    He was always mean to her after all.


    What do you think Im gonna do? Mo Liuxi carried her to the riverside. He reached out both arms while looking down at her and saying, Im gonna throw you into the water to feed fishes.


    The water was right below her. In fear, Yan Su hurriedly put her arms around his neck, worrying that he might really throw her into the river. Meanwhile, she begged him for mercy. Im sorry, Im sorry! I was kidding!


    She did not want to fall into the water. She didnt bring any clothes for a change.


    Mo Liuxi liked it when she was holding him tightly. He wished that she would do that more often.


    I dont think its a joke, Mo Liuxi said with a wicked smile. He raised his arms as if he was going to throw her.


    Yan Su closed her eyes and burst in screams. She thought that she would fall straight into the water. She quickly discovered that wasnt in the water. Instead, she was being held close to his chest.


    She raised her head. Mo Liuxi was looking at her with smiling eyes. It was as if he had just watched a good show.


    You lied! Yan Su realized what had happened.


    She raised her arms to hit him. Mo Liuxi didnt dodge. He let her fistsnd on him.


    Her fists could barely hurt him. He thoroughly enjoyed the moment. Looking at the girls angry face, he felt as if a cube of sugar was melting inside his heart. He wanted so badly to bury her in his arms and kiss her lips hard.


    Mo Liuxi finally understood why there were so many sweet couples in school. He used to think those people were boring. Now, he had tasted that kind of sweetness himself.


    Yan Su spent a short while punching his chest before suddenly realizing what she was doing. She stopped and raised her head to see the man looking straight at her. His eyes were like the summer sky, warm and bright. Looking into those eyes, her brain was nk. Her heart was mildly fluttering.


    No matter how slow-minded she was, she realized that whatever they had been doing should not happen between them. She hurriedly dropped her hands. Her face was burning.


    She bit her lower lips and asked, When are you gonna let me go? Just put me down.


    Mo Liuxi put her down. She turned away, walked to the side, and squatted behind the grill. She started taking out the meat and vegetables they had brought for the barbecue. She had no clue what she was doing.


    Yan Su wanted to smack herself to death. She thought, Why on earth did I put my arms around Mo Liuxis neck just now?


    What she did made them look like a couple. They were only neighbors, even though they had slept together.


    I want some grilled eggnt, Mo Liuxi said as he squatted beside her.


    Yan Su opened her mouth to say something. When she saw his handsome face, she remained silent and put some eggnt on the grill.


    She only wanted to finish the barbecue and go home as soon as possible. Being with him made her feel weird. She couldnt exin the feeling. She didnt dare think too deeply about it.


    Yan Su focused on the barbecue. From time to time, she turned back and saw Mo Liuxi in the river with his trouser legs rolled up. The sunlight poured on his back and the glistening river surface. The scene looked like a peaceful painting.


    She hadnt had that kind of feeling for a very long time. Her hometown had mountains and rivers. She and her family used to go for an outing together on the weekends.


    As she was submerged in memories, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. She turned and saw a crab in front of her face wielding its ws. She flinched.


    Mo Liuxi heartilyughed. She rarely saw himughing so happily.


    Is bullying me fun? Yan Su asked.

 Chapter 986

    Chapter 986


    I didnt bully you. Mo Liuxi squatted by her side, handed her the crab and said, This is for you. I just caught it.


    Yan Su felt speechless. Why on earth did he give her a crab? She reached out a hand and pinched the crabs shell.


    Arent you afraid? Mo Liuxi was surprised.


    Whats to be afraid of? Ive seen plenty of these when I was little, Yan Su said, then threw the crab at him.


    The crab swiftly climbed up to Mo Liuxis chest. He shivered while pping the crab off him, gave a moan, and put a hand on his belly and said, The crab nipped me! It hurts!


    Really? Yan Su blinked, feeling a little guilty. Where?


    My belly. Mo Liuxi lifted his shirt.


    Yan Su bent over to check his stomach. She spent a while looking at his stomach but failed to find any wound. Instead, she saw his beautiful abs, not exaggerated, but sexy enough to make her want to touch them.


    Do you see it? Mo Liuxi bent his body.


    No. She raised her head, and unexpectedly looked into his shiny eyes. Did you lie to me? Her heart flipped.


    Emm. I wanted to show you my abs. Mo Liuxi moved closer to her, and said with a deep and sexy voice, Do you like them?


    The refreshing scent from him filled her nose.


    Suddenly, Yan Sus heart raced and she was overwhelmed by all kinds of thoughts.


    At first, she wondered if he had found out about what happened that night. Then, she started thinking if he had figured out that she touched his abs and chest that night.


    She told herself to stay calm.


    You What are you talking about? Why are you acting weird today? Yan Su avoided his eyes. Herely face burned again as she continued saying, Im going home if you keep doing this.


    This time, Mo Liuxi didnt try to exin, but turned her face back and made her look at him.


    Yan Su closed her eyes awkwardly. She didnt dare look straight at him.


    How are you supposed to go home? I have the car keys. Mo Liuxi curved his lips into a smile.


    Yan Su felt she was going crazy. It wasnt the first time she spent time with a boy, but she never felt so embarrassed.


    Mo Liuxi, whats wrong with you?


    What do you think? Mo Liuxi threw the question back to her.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    God, what could she possibly say? Was she supposed to tell him that she felt he might want to do something inappropriate with her?


    He was so sharp-tongued. He would certainly argue and throw her into an embarrassing situation.


    If you and I got together, you can have my abs, and you can have me, Mo Liuxi said to her with a deep voice.


    Yan Su was stunned. What did she hear?


    She put a hand on his forehead to see if he had a fever.


    Are you sick? she said.


    Seriously. Was this boy the Mo Liuxi she knew?


    How could Mo Liuxi ever say something like that to her? It was unbelievable.


    Mo Liuxi knitted his brows and responded with, Im fine. Youre acting like it was something weird for me to say.


    Yan Su nodded quickly and said, I am your sisters friend. Im like an older sister to you.


    Yeah? Mo Liuxi stared at her without blinking.


    Yan Su became a little unconfident under his gaze. It wasnt going well, was it? She had sex with her friends little brother.


    Sure I am, she said. I see you as a little brother.


    Mo Liuxi burst inughter. Im sorry. You are three years older than me but other than that, you dont seem like an older sister to me at all. In fact


    His tone of speaking suddenly turned serious. He moved closer to her, and the manly vibe from him grew stronger.


    Yan Su sat on the grass, turning her blushed face away. He whispered in her ear, I think youre the girl that needs to be taken care of by me. Youre the silly little girl who needs my protection.

 Chapter 987

    Chapter 987


    Yan Sus tender skin suddenly turned so red that it seemed like it would explode.


    In both surprise and shyness, her brain buzzed, and her heart raced. She felt as if she didnt own her heart anymore.


    Oh my, what on earth is he talking about? Is he out of his mind? she asked herself.


    How how can you say that to me? Yan Su stuttered.


    For the very first time, she was being pressed down on awn by a super handsome guy, and hed told her that he liked her. She had been in a rtionship before, but she could not stay calm in such a situation.


    In fact, even though herst rtionship hadsted for years, she was still new to this kind of thing.


    Shi Xiang was the aggressive one in that rtionship, but not as aggressive as Mo Liuxi was.


    Are you my real sister? Mo Liuxi especially liked to see her panic.


    Yan Su shook her head.


    Are you my teacher? He asked another question.


    Yan Su shook her head again.


    So why cant I say something like that to you? Mo Liuxi turned his lips away from her ear a little and started rubbing her earlobe with his fingers.


    Yan Sus entire body had softened. She trembled and curled up, her hands pressing hard against his chest as if she was afraid that he might eat her.


    Seeing that the girl looked like a scared little bird, Mo Liuxi smiled and said honestly, I didnt know that Id fall for you, either. But recently, I always find myself attracted to you. Tell me, what have you done to me?


    Hearing that, Yan Su hurriedly raised her eyebrows in a panic. Looking into his bright eyes, she felt that he was telling the truth.


    It seemed he didnt yet know about that night.


    I didnt do anything to you, Yan Su exined. Maybe youre confused because you like my congee too much.


    Mo Liuxi paused, then burst intoughter. Shed turned out to be even more adorable than hed thought.


    It was indeed the first time hed ever fallen in love with someone, but he could already tell the difference between love and other kinds of feelings.


    Youre right, I do like your congee, Mo Liuxi said. But I also want to kiss your lips, touch your face, and hold you. Tell me, why is that? Ive never been in a rtionship before. Why dont you teach me about it, my sister?


    Yan Su really wanted to run away.


    His words were getting more and more unbearably flirting.


    She really didnt want to be his sister at that moment. She even wanted to beg him to stop.


    If there were ten grades for blushing, she had already reached grade-nine. At grade-ten, her facial blood vessels would explode.


    Eh it, it might be because of hormones You are young, and you might have strong physical needs Yan Su hurriedly said.


    If you know about it so well, Mo Liuxi said with a small smile, your hormones should be affecting you too, right? Why dont we fulfill each others needs?


    Yan Su didnt manage to respond to that.


    If that situation continued, she would copse.


    She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then she said, Alright, I dont know which part of me has attracted you, but I never thought about the two of us


    Im aware of it. So, Im not asking you to ept me right now, Mo Liuxi said, interrupting her. Im saying all these to you because I want you to know that you can start thinking about the two of us getting together. We are good matches for each other. As I said to youst time, in the entertainment circle, a man like me whos immune to all kinds of temptations is very rare. In school, people say that Im the most handsome boy and that youre the prettiest girl. See, were perfect for each other.

 Chapter 988

    Chapter 988


    Yan Su was shocked.


    She finally understood why he said those strange words to herst time. Was he already fond of her back then? He hid his feelings so deep, or maybe she was too slow-minded.


    Sometimes, two people who are a perfect match for each other, dont have to like each other or be together. Yan Su spent quite an effort to find her voice.


    Mo Liuxi shook his head and said, I think the first thing two people need to have, is the flutter for each other. Am I right?


    Yan Su paused briefly, then nodded. She agreed.


    Dont you have a flutter for me? Mo Liuxi stared at her without blinking. He didnt want to miss any expression that might escape her eyes. Let me exin to you what flutter means. It means you be nervous, and your heart races. Do you feel that?


    I Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    You do, Mo Liuxi said. Just now you were so nervous that you even stuttered. You blushed too. People say your face will redden and your heart will race when you get nervous. Thats like a whole package. So, Im sure that your heart is beating fast as well. Ask yourself if you would be so nervous if it was another boy whos telling you that he likes you?


    Yan Su was going mad. Normally, Mo Liuxi was so proud, cold and silent, but now, he acted as an expert in psychology.


    Thats because Im surprised, she exined. I wasnt expecting you to say that to me so suddenly


    When a boy whos three years younger than you, tells you that he likes you, as a mature woman, shouldnt you react calmly? But you panicked like a little girl. Mo Liuxi pinched her cheeks gently, then sat straight and moved away from her.


    Yan Su instantly found that her breath became smoother. She felt a little annoyed. After all, he pinched her cheeks, and that was so humiliating to her.


    He was somehow right.


    As a friend of his elder sister, she should have refused him calmly and reasonably. Why on earth did she panic?


    She gave it a thought and concluded that it was because she had sex with him.


    So, Mo Liuxi was somehow special in her heart.


    Whatever you say. Yan Su lowered her head, dropped her eyes and said, I really dont want to start a rtionship right now. I just ended thest one. I can tell you that I am not over it yet.


    The so-called ex-boyfriend of yours is from the entertainment circle, right? Mo Liuxi asked.


    What did Sangsang say to you? Yan Su gave a start.


    I am right. Mo Liuxi smiled. She didnt tell me anything. I figured it out. That day, when we talked about being with someone from the entertainment circle, you were a little emotional, not like your usual self at all.


    Yan Sus back started sweating.


    He was so keen-eyed.


    She told herself that she must be extra careful from now on, to prevent him from finding out what happened that night.


    Let me guess. Your ex-boyfriend must have built a sessful career in the entertainment business, so he abandoned you, right? Or, hes with another woman


    All right, stop. Yan Sus face turned pale. It had been so long, but opening that old wound still hurt her so much.


    Mo Liuxi squatted before her, put a hand on her cheeks, then continued with a deep voice, I wont do that. No matter how famous I will be, I wont betray you. If you want to sing, Ill help you, and if you wanna retire, Ill support you forever.


    Yan Sus heart missed a beat.


    She raised her head and looked at his morous pretty face; her eyes were a little unfocused.

 Chapter 989

    Chapter 989


    After being stared at by the silly girl for a short while, Mo Liuxi couldnt help but bend over, lower his head, and press his lips gently against hers.


    She had just eaten an orange. Her lips were still scented by the refreshing orange aroma.


    Yan Su shivered. When she realized what was happening, she saw Mo Liuxis eyshes right before her eyes. He had his eyes closed. He looked like a beautiful doll.


    She hurriedly moved backward, stood up, and ran toward the car.


    Seeing her run away in a flurry, Mo Liuxi wanted tough. He had done nothing but kiss her lips, yet she was scared so badly.


    What an innocent, silly girl.


    Yan Su ran up to the car in a panic, then turned back and found that Mo Liuxi wasnt chasing after her. She sighed with relief, then blushed when she heard Mo Liuxiughing.


    She was aware that, as someone three years older than him, her reaction was not appropriate.


    First of all, howe shed forgotten to dodge when he kissed her?


    Second, she was far too flurried when shed run away.


    She buried her face in her palms, wanting to bury herself.


    Stop running or people might see you. Come here, lets have some barbecue. Mo Liuxi waved at her. Kissing her was like kissing honey. Mo Liuxi felt that not only were his lips sweetened, but also his heart.


    He was more certain about his feelings toward her than ever before.


    Hed only nned to tell her about his feelings today, not to kiss her. However, shed looked so attractive just now that he couldnt help it.


    Yan Su shook her head and asked, Do you think I can still barbecue with you?


    She worried that he might eat her alive before she had any barbecue.


    What can I possibly do to you in broad daylight? Mo Liuxi added some charcoal to the grill and said, Come on. Well focus on the barbecue. Ill stop talking about those things. I only told you about my true feelings. Why are you so frightened? Unless youre worried that you might fall for me if you stay


    Yan Su grit her teeth.


    With no other choice, she walked back to him.


    Dont forget to cut the eggnt for me. Add more garlic. After saying that, Mo Liuxi stretched out on thewn to eat some fruits.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    How could he be like that? Didnt he just tell her that he liked her and that he would start pursuing her from that moment on?


    Was that how he pursued a girl?


    Why are you looking at me? Mo Liuxi crossed his legs and said, I just told you that I like you, but dont forget that were out here having a barbecue because you wanted to thank me for my help.


    I didnt say anything Yan Su turned and continued grilling the eggnt.


    It was good, actually. She felt less stressed than she had before.


    It was about twelve when they were finally sated by the food.


    They spent a short while resting, then headed back.


    Yan Su needed to fly to another city in the afternoon for an event.


    When will you be back? Mo Liuxi asked her.


    In a couple of days, Yan Su murmured.


    Give me your phone. Mo Liuxi reached for her.


    Yan Su shook her head and asked, What do you want? Youre already my WeChat friend. I cant just give you my phone


    Mo Liuxi refused to listen but grabbed her phone, unlocked it with her thumb, then dialed his own number.


    Soon, his phone started ringing.


    He saved his own number on her phone, then threw her phone back to her.


    You are so rude, Yan Suined. You cant just take my phone

 Chapter 990

    Chapter 990


    Because I found you have your heart sealed so tight, I wouldnt be able to get into your heart if I wasnt aggressive. Mo Liuxi nced back at her.


    Yan Su was stunned.


    She never thought he could see through her so easily.


    But I really dont want to be in a rtionship right now


    Thats an excuse. Mo Liuxi shook his head carelessly, I used to tell myself that Ill wait at least until I finished college to start a rtionship. Well, of course, if I didnt meet a girl that I liked, I could stay single my whole life. But now, as Ive seriously fallen for someone, it doesnt count anymore.


    Mo Liuxi got off the car and opened the door for Yan Su. She got out slowly.


    You have to answer all my calls and reply to all my messages, Mo Liuxi said with a warning tone.


    Back home, Yan Su took out her phone, and found a new contact  Liuxi.


    A simple name.


    She put the phone against her forehead, feeling a headache.


    She clearly remembered every detail that happened by the riverside earlier. Mo Liuxis words, his lips; everything came to her like a storm.


    After Yan Su left, Mo Liuxi spent almost every weekend together with Li Ming, working on the new film. He even went to two potential shooting locations.


    Aftering back, he made a trip to the training base that belonged to Li Mings studio.


    Near the entrance, he ran into Xiao Si, who was the groomsman at Luosangs wedding. At that time, Xiao Si was holding a vacuum cup, looking into the training site.


    Hearing footsteps, he turned and saw Mo Liuxi. With a delightful surprised tone, he said, Liuxi, long time no see. Why are you here?


    Im a director of this film, Mo Liuxi responded with confusion. You being here is the weird thing, isnt it? Have you invested in this film?


    Li Ming smiled and said, His girlfriend and the artists from hispany are all in this film. Recently, Mr. Xiaoes here almost every day.


    Mo Liuxi was surprised. He looked inside and saw five or six artists. He noticed an actress among them, dressed like a girl from the eighties.


    Are you talking about Ji Nuanyi? he asked, with his mouth corner twitching slightly.


    Xiao Si tittered, then put on a serious face. You cant call her name directly. You need to call her Sister Nuanyi. Well, you can also call her sister-inw. After all, your brother-inw and I are like brothers, so Im like an older brother of yours.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent.


    So, were close. Xiao Si put a hand on his arm and continued saying, We were groomsmen together. Ah, I guess fate brought us together. So, youll be nice to my girlfriend during the shoot, right?


    Thest part of his speech was the point of the conversation.


    Li Mingughed. Telling him that wont be helpful. Liuxi is known for how cold-hearted he could be during work.


    I wont direct a big part of the film, Mo Liuxi said in a nd tone. My work will be finished in twenty days, at most.


    I see. Its okay. Take care of Nuanyi anyway, said Xiao Si smilingly. Nuanyi is a good girl. Shes professional, willing to do hard work, shes pretty and generous, never dramatic


    Im sorry. I only care about her acting skills. Mo Liuxi interrupted him. Shes not my girlfriend.


    Xiao Sis grin froze on his face.


    This boy is as annoying and unpleasing as Nian Junting. Why cant he be as adorable as his sister? He thought.


    Maybe you dont know that when your sister was in a difficult situation in An City, Nuanyi was the only one who helped her. Later on, she asked your sister to be her exclusive voice-actress. They are good friends, Xiao Si hurriedly said.

 Chapter 991

    Chapter 991


    Yeah? Mo Liuxi nodded. Ill look after her if I ever have a chance to work with her.


    Xiao Sis eyes glow.


    This kid is really a fan of his sister, he thought.


    Dont worry. Mo Liuxi continued, I will require her to deliver the perfect performance so she can improve her skills. If she fails to cope, I will spur her on and try to stimte all of her hidden potential for acting.


    Xiao Si paused with surprise, then hurriedly exined, No thats not what I meant


    Great, please dont hesitate to give me any advice. Ji Nuanyi walked over and said happily, Im looking forward to turning myself into a famous and skillful actress through this film.


    I get it. Mo Liuxi nodded.


    After saying that, he walked past Ji Nuanyi toward the training site. Li Ming quickly followed behind him.


    That kid is cruel, Xiao Si said through gritted teeth. You shouldnt have said that. He might torture you during filming. Dontin to me when he makes you suffer.


    Am I that kind of actress? Ji Nuanyi was excited. She held his arm and said to him, Youve waited for so long, havent you?


    Xiao Si turned to look at her. She was wearing makeup that made her look like a middle-aged woman.


    You look so ugly this way, Xiao Si said, the corners of his lips twitching slightly.


    Say it again. Ji Nuanyi narrowed her eyes slightly, erasing the smile from her face.


    Eh-hem. Xiao Si hurriedly changed his words. You are gorgeous, even though youre actually trying to make yourself ugly. Your beauty dazzles my eyes.


    Good boy. Ji Nuanyi put an arm around his neck and pulled his head down so she could give him a kiss.


    Xiao Si was a little shy, but also happy.


    After bing her boyfriend, hed learned that she was a fiercedy. That sweet look of hers was just a mask that she wore. It was great though. He liked that she was fierce.


    Mo Liuxi walked into the training site and saw that almost every actor was working hard, especially Shi Xiang. He had cut his hair short and was practicing martial arts with a coach.


    The coach wasnt showing any mercy. He threw Shi Xiang to the ground, but thetter soon got back up.


    Li Ming put his mouth near Mo Liuxis ear and whispered to him, Shi Xiang works really hard. I heard from the directors assistant say that hes always covered in injuries these days, but he neverins.


    Mo Liuxi gave Li Ming a nce. Thetter hurriedly added, Im not trying to speak for him. What I said is true.


    Mo Liuxi fixed his eyes on Shi Xiang and said with a slight frown, Hes trying very hard to make changes.


    Do you feel it too? Li Ming put his fingers on his chin and said, Hes a singer. Why has he suddenly started working so hard?


    Its simple. He wants to bring his career back to the country, said Mo Liuxi ndly. He may be popr in Korea, but as a foreign artist, he cant possibly make very much money. If he manages toe back to China and turn himself into a sessful actor, he will make a fortune. You dont need to worry about this film. I think hell do whatever you want.


    Li Ming clicked this tongue, nodded, and said, I heard that when his Korean manager came here, they got into a couple of fights. Its said that he gave up on quite a few events to do this training here.


    Sure, Mo Liuxi said. The Koreanpany only wants money. Who cares about his acting skills? I guess hell soon end the contract with thatpany.


    Director Li, Director Mo. Shi Xiang walked over at that moment.


    Hows the practice going? Li Ming asked.


    Its going well. Ive learned dancing before, so learning these movements isnt very difficult for me. Shi Xi wiped his red and swollen face with his hand, then asked, When will my acting lessons begin?

 Chapter 992

    Chapter 992


    Next week. Li Mingughed. Be patient and take it slow. But Im telling you, acting isnt like practicing martial arts.


    I know. Im only saying that Ill try my best to do better. I cant let the others think that a singer cant be an actor. What I cant stand more is to ruin your reputation, Director Li. Shi Xiang gave a smile.


    Li Ming nodded. Hearing Shi Xiangs words, he didnt dislike him as much as before.


    Coming out of the training site, Mo Liuxi saw Ji Nuanyi and Xiao Si sitting together by the window. Ji Nuanyi was eating out of a lunchbox, while Xiao Si was watching her.


    That scene was peaceful and sweet.


    Suddenly, he was a little jealous of them, and started to miss a girl.


    What? Do you want a girlfriend too? Li Ming patted him on the shoulder.


    Mo Liuxi didnt answer his question.


    Lets go for lunch, Li Ming said.


    Mo Liuxi didnt move. Li Ming looked at him confusedly, then heard him respondingzily, Youre right. I just saw those sweet love birds, and now I need to have lunch with an old man like you. Thats boring.


    Li Ming didnt know what to say.


    I think Im gonna go home and have some noodles, Mo Liuxi said upsettingly.


    Get the hell out of my sight, Li Ming said through clenched teeth.


    On Monday morning, a nanny van sent Yan Su to the entrance of her school.


    Yan Su shrank in her seat, not wanting to move.


    Jiaojiao thought she was in a daze. This is your school, she said, reminding Yan Su. You can leave now. If you move quickly, you can still make it to ss at ten.


    Yan Su suddenly sighed and said, What events do we have recently? ept all invitations for me, like going to small cities to sing, or for fashion shows.


    Jiaojiao looked at her with surprise and said, Didnt you ask me to reduce your workload as much as possible? Didnt you say that you needed to focus on studying? Why the sudden change?


    Yan Su didnt respond.


    She had no choice. If she had too much free time, she might run into Mo Liuxi.


    I want to make more money, she said.


    Jiaojiao didnt seem to believe that. Didnt you say you dont need much money as youre living alone? You said that you used to be short of money, but now you make so much that you dont even know how to spend it?


    Yan Su didnt know how to exin. She spent some time to try and gather words. The others are all working hard. I want to work hard while Im still young too.


    Dont worry. Miss. Xiang will arrange your schedule for you. Currently, you should build a solid foundation. As for the other things, you should stay patient. Jiaojiaoforted her.


    Yan Su slowly got off the van, put on a mask, then walked into the school.


    In the middle of ss, she received a message from Luosang, Are you in school? Im in school too. Lets have lunch together.


    Yan Su was delighted. She hadnt seen Luosang for a long time. Sure, she replied to the message.


    Luosang Lets go and have roast fish. Oh dear. I havent had roast fish for a long time. Im going crazy.


    Yan Su agreed.


    Once the ss was over, Yan Su went to the broadcasting department for Luosang. Luosang was wearing a loose-fitting hoodie, looking like a pregnantdy. No one would say anything about it though. Many people knew that she had married Nian Junting.


    People were jealous of her. After all, Nian Junting was so rich and powerful.


    Luosang excitedly gave Yan Su a big hug. You never visit me! Im so bored staying at the vi every day.


    How can you be bored if youre with Mr. Nian every day? Yan Su said jokingly.


    Please dont mention him. Luosang waved a hand with a bitter smile. He is handsome indeed, but if you see him every day, he starts to look like nothing more than a chubbyedy star.

 Chapter 993

    Chapter 993


    Yan Su felt a little speechless.


    Is it really okay for you to say that about Mr. Nian? She thought.


    At that moment, Luosangs phone started ringing. She spent a short while staring at the phone screen, then answered the call with a warm voice, Darling, I just left ss. Im going to the canteen for lunch with Su No, of course not. The food served in our canteen is delicious. I havent been here for a while. I missed the food here Dont worry, I wont eat outside. Ever since we got together, you taught me that the food out there isnt safe every single day Youreing here to see me? I dont think thats necessary Sure, sure, Ill take a picture of our lunch for youter when we get to the canteen.


    After ending the call, Luosang sighed, He called to check on me every time I left home. Do you now know how miserable my life is? Im telling you, do not get married at a young age. I buried myself in the grave of marriage at such a beautiful age, and I got pregnant.


    Well Yan Su didnt even know what to say. She put an arm around Luosangs shoulders andforted her, Its alright. I know sometimes Mr. Nian tries to control your life even harder than your mom ever did, but thats because he cares for you, right?


    Lets go to the canteen to take a picture for him, and then have that roast fish, said Luosang.


    Um If Mr. Nian happens to find out that we had roast fish together, would he kill me? Yan Su was a little worried.


    If you dont tell and I dont tell, whod ever know? Luosang dragged her toward the canteen.


    When they were waiting in a line for the food, many people came to say hi to them. Luosang bought a lunch box, then quickly took a picture of it and sent it to Nian JuntingDarling, the lunch is pretty rich today. We have pork and fish.


    Nian Junting replied with a frown emojiIt looks awful. I bet it tastes awful too.


    Luosang did not want to continue that conversation.


    She put away that lunch box and quickly walked out of the canteen with Yan Su, then saw Mo Liuxiing toward them.


    Before Yan Su could say anything, Luosang waved at Mo Liuxi already.


    Mo Liuxi blinked, then walked up to the two of them. His eyes quickly scanned across Yan Su, thennded on Luosangs face.


    Why are you here? Why didnt you tell me? He asked.


    A famous host is giving a lecture in our department today. I think its important. I spent a long time to convince Nian Junting to let mee here, Luosang felt a little guilty. She wanted to invite him for lunch too, but he always seemed to have issues with Yan Su.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and said, I am disappointed. I am your brother who was parted with you for twenty years, yet you went to Yan Su instead of me when you came to school. Is she more important to you than I am?


    Luosang gave a start. She wasnt expecting to hear that from her brother. It sounded like she had hurt his feelings so badly.


    Its not like that. Weve seen each otherst week, right? I havent seen Yan Su since the wedding. Besides, youre my brother, so well always have chances to see each other, Luosang hurriedly exined, Why dont you have lunch together with us? How do feel about roast fish?


    Sure, Mo Liuxi nodded, upturned his mouth corners.


    Luosang sighed with relief. What she didnt want the most was for her brother to be unhappy.


    Yan Su silently dropped her head.


    What a liar! She thought. She would not believe that he was sad because Luosang didnt tell him about hering to school.


    The roast fish restaurant was about eight minutes of walking away from the school. The three of them headed toward that ce by foot. On their way, Mo Liuxi suddenly fixed his eyes on a milk tea ce and said, Do you girls want some milk tea?


    Luosang was touched, because her brother never made such warm suggestions.

 Chapter 994

    Chapter 994


    As she expected, her brother had be more thoughtful than before, as he had gotten familiar with her and her friends.


    Sure. Su loves milk tea the most. Luosang pushed Yan Su on the shoulder. Yan Su felt a little awkward. Before, she might consider that as an ident, but now


    She sneakily nced at Mo Liuxi and found him looking at her as well. Yeah? I didnt know, he said with a faint smile.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    Hes so good at pretending. He used to see her drink milk tea.


    The three of them walked into the shop. Luosang ordered a cookie milk tea, while Yan Su ordered a in milk tea. When it was Mo Liuxis turn, he hesitated a little, then said, Milk tea, in, please.


    Luosang curved her lips slightly and said, Ah, you and Su like the same kind of milk tea.


    Yan Su became nervous. She was afraid that Luosang might find out what was going on between her and Mo Liuxi.


    Before she said anything, Mo Liuxi had said coldly, Theres a special offer today.


    Luosang turned to the small ckboard on the counter. The ckboard indicated that in milk tea was half-off.


    Eh Liuxi. If you need money, you can tell me


    He didnt need to save money like that. The milk tea cost no more than twenty.


    Its not like that. Im saving money so I can give it to my future wife. Mo Liuxi turned around, with his back to the two girls.


    Hearing his words, Yan Su lowered her head to look at the tips of her toes, with her mouth corners twitching. She pretended not to hear it.


    Luosang blinked and wondered if she misheard him. Her brother had actually talked about giving his money to his future wife. He was never interested in having a girlfriend at all.


    She grabbed Mo Liuxi over and said to him, Liuxi, do you have your eyes on some girl already?


    No. I saw Xiao Si and his girlfriend a few days ago. I feel that having a girlfriend would be nice, Mo Liuxi answered her while watching the shop staff make the milk tea.


    Oh. Si and Nuanyi. Luosang nodded. I hadnt seen Si ever since he and Nuanyi got together. He used to follow Nian Junting everywhere. Since he disappeared, Junting started following me everywhere Eh, lets not talk about that trouble of mine.


    Mo Liuxi and Yan Su were speechless.


    Is that really a trouble of yours? Does your husband know how you feel?


    The two of them had the same questions.


    Youre right. Luosang patted her brother on the shoulder. If you found a girl that you like, you have to let me know. I have only one requirement for your future girlfriend; its being kind.


    Emm, Mo Liuxi responded.


    The milk tea was ready. Mo Liuxi handed the cups to the two girls.


    When taking the milk tea, Yan Su somehow felt his fingers stroking the back of her hand; it made her feel itchy and numb, as if an electric current was running through her hand.


    She abruptly drew her hand back, and the milk tea fell toward the floor.


    Mo Liuxi swiftly bent over and caught the teacup, saving it from falling and sshing all over the floor.


    Whats wrong? Lusoang asked.


    Yan Su blushed. She couldnt tell Luosang the truth. There was electricity on the cup. It hit me she stuttered.


    Emm. Mo Liuxi nodded. It was static, very strong. My fingers are even numb. Thankfully, I reacted fast enough, so the milk tea wasnt wasted.


    Autumn is dry and statics can happen a lot, Luosang said knowingly.


    Yan Su sighed with relief. Fortunately, Luosang didnt find out the truth.


    Mo Liuxi was too reckless. They werent even in the restaurant yet. What would he do when they got to the restaurant?


    She wanted to run away. But, could she still do that?

 Chapter 995

    Chapter 995


    When they arrived at the grilled fish shop, Yan Su fished out her phone and saw the text message that Mo Liuxi sent, Your electric current passed all the way through my heart.


    Yan Su nearly chocked on the milk tea that she was sipping on.


    She was blushing after reading the text message.


    Mo Liuxi looked up from the menu, he looked at her and said, Senior Yan, what are you reading? Why are you blushing so red?


    Luosang turned to look at her and Yan Su quickly kept her phone. She looked so guilty that Luosang was suspicious and grabbed her, Do you have a new boyfriend?


    No, Yan Su shook her head.


    Luosang was concerned and whispered to her, Are you back together with Shi Xiang?


    Nope, Yan Su shook her head but Luosang didnt believe her and kept staring at her.


    Im really not lying to you, Yan Su swore.


    Luosang whispered again, Im not saying that you cant get back together with him, its your affair anyway. Im just concerned as your good friend, I dont want you to get hurt again. But if you really cant move past him and if you still love him, Ill support whatever decision you make. I want you to be happy.


    Hmm, I know, we wont get back together, Yan Su shook her head firmly.


    What are you two talking about, Mo Liuxi interrupted them, Lets order a grilled fish, less spicy version. You are pregnant, you shouldnt eat anything too spicy.


    Alright, youre my brother, your call.


    The service was a little slow and the voices of the two women filled the room. Mo Liuxi didnt talk much, he was concentrating on peeling the sunflower seeds.


    He was peeling the seeds without eating them and Luosang asked, Why are you saving the flesh?


    I want to save it and eat it all in one go, Mo Liuxi replied casually.


    Luosang thought that her brother might be bored so she started stalking to him, You said you saw Xiao Si a few days ago


    Yeah, Ji Nuanyi and Shi Xiang are in boot camp for the new project, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Sus eyes flickered, Luosang asked, Shi Xiang is in Xia City now as well?


    Mo Liuxi nodded his head, he thought that Luosang was still bothered about that time when his assistant bullied her and said, Dont worry, Ill give him a difficult time on setter, I wont make things easy for him.


    Forget it, I wont have anything to do with him anymore, Luosang was worried that Yan Su might be hurt and ufortable and quickly changed the subject.


    When the fish was served, Yan Su and Luosang had a good time enjoying the food. Luosang was pregnant and she needed to pee often, she went to the washroom every now and then and Yan Su followed her along. After a while, Luosang asked curiously, Youre not pregnant, why are you using the loo with me so often?


    Yan Suughed, Your brother looks too cold, Im too intimidated to spend time alone with him.


    He doesnt bite, I thought you said your rtionship with him now is less tense than before? Luosang asked.


    Yan Su continued to lie, I just think we dont have much to talk about.


    Luosang didnt push her further.


    When they were about done, Luosang suddenly recalled something and asked Yan Su, I thought you said you were moving at the start of next year, its already November now, has thepany mentioned anything to you yet?


    Mo Liuxi tightened his grip on his chopsticks. Yan Su replied, Yeah, they found a ce close to thepany. Im not nning to stay there for long either, Im going to buy an apartment here in Xia City and settle in.


    Sounds good, Xia City is pretty nice. Let me and Junting know when youre nning to purchase a house, he has many friends, maybe we can get a friendship discount or something.


    Thanks in advance then, Yan Su smiled gently.

 Chapter 996

    Chapter 996


    After lunch, Mo Liuxi paid the bill, and then the three of them headed back to school.


    Arriving at the school gate, they saw Nian Junting standing under a tree, wearing a perfectly tailored khaki suit, looking cold, proud and inessible.


    Luosang froze when she saw him, like a little girl who failed an exam and identally let her parents find out about it.


    Yan Su was nervous too. What should we do? Will your husband think I let you eat unhealthy food?


    Luosangs scalp turned numb. She blinked, then turned to Mo Liuxi and said, Liuxi, if your brother-inw asks us where we had lunch, can you please tell him that you made me eat roast fish? You are not afraid of him anyway.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    He found that his sister was growing more and more shameless after she got married.


    Luosang tried harder to persuade him, You taking the me will save a happy family.


    All right, Mo Liuxi said and rubbed the spot between his brows. At that moment, Nian Junting saw the three of them, and walked over with a sour face.


    Darling, why are you here? Luosang said to him smilingly.


    Im doing a spot check. Nian Junting sneered. Didnt you tell me that youd have lunch in the canteen? I went to the canteen at your school at half-past twelve but didnt see a trace of you.


    Luosang nced at her watch, and found that it was almost 2:00 p.m. So, have you been waiting here? she asked. You could have called me.


    I prefer to catch you red-handed. Suddenly, Nian Junting dragged her over, sniffed her lips, and then continued saying, You smell spicy. Xu Luosang, you lied to me. You are full of lies.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. He made it sound like she had hurt him deeply.


    I invited her. Mo Liuxi joined the conversation easily. We havent seen each other for over a week. I wanted to have roast fish, so I asked her to go with me. I guess she didnt have the heart to say no.


    Yeah. I didnt want to go. I tried to tell him the food out there isnt clean. I was already in the canteen, yet he dragged me to the roast fish ce, Luosang said.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. He found that his sister was full of lies.


    Do you expect me to believe that? Nian Juntings lip corners twitched slightly. Come home with me. Youre not taking the afternoon sses.


    No. Im already here. Ill finish all the sses. Luosang shook her head.


    Its just some roast fish. Many pregnant women eat like that. Rx. She doesnt eat roast fish every day, said Mo Liuxi.


    I am doing this for her own good. Im a healthy man. If I can live to a hundred years old while she can only live to eighty, how am I supposed to get through thest twenty years? Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, You unmarried people dont understand that.


    Mo Liuxi paused briefly.


    Luosang was touched. Dear, is that what youre worried about? Rx. I will take good care of myself. But I have to take the sses this afternoon. Im in my fourth year. There arent too many sses left. My belly will soon be huge and I cant possiblye to school then.


    No, Nian Junting responded mercilessly. Those sses are unnecessary for you. Why waste time?


    Im not leaving. Luosang shook her head.


    Nian Junting put on a long face. Both of them fell into silence.


    You guys can leave, Luosang said to Mo Liuxi and Yan Su.


    Mo Liuxi frowned slightly. Yan Su pulled his arm slightly and said, Lets go. Theyll solve the problem by themselves.


    Mo Liuxi nced at her hand which was on his arm and raised his eyebrows. Without hesitation, he followed her and left.

 Chapter 997

    Chapter 997


    Nian Junting thought that she understood and turned around to leave. She realized after trying to take a few steps that she stayed in the same spot.


    One handsome brow lifted. Not leaving?


    Who said I was? Luosang cooly made eye contact with him.


    Nian Juntings face darkened. You want to fight?


    Luosangughed, her expression nonchnt. So what if I do? Must I listen to you about everything after marrying you? You control if I go to school, what I eat, and when I go out. I married a husband, but you control me like a father.


    Xu Luosang, say that one more time if you dare. Nian Junting gritted his teeth in anger.


    And whatll you do? Luosang stuck her belly out and walked towards him aggressively.


    Nian Junting took a step back, afraid to bump into her.


    Since Ive been with you, I havent had an ounce of freedom. Im only 24, not 34. You said at first that I could go back to work after giving birth, but Im seriously suspecting that you were lying to lure me into your trap. Im also suspecting that all those sweet words you said to me before our marriage were also just to trick me into marrying you. I always let you have your way before because you are my first husband and we were newly-wed. But please remember that youre my first, Im still young, and Im rich now. I can exchange you whenever I want.


    Nian Juntings body tremored with anger as he listened to her. You dare?


    She actually said that she wanted to exchange him unbelievable.


    Why wouldnt I dare? Let me tell you, I was the one who suggested eating barbeque fish today. Do you have any objections? Can you beat me up? The most you can do is divorce me. Luosang continued to advance forward as Nian Junting backed away.


    Luosang continued, Let me tell you, Im an adult. I make my own judgments. I know what I should and should not eat, what I should cut down on, and what I should eat more of. I realize that Ive been letting you have things your way too much recently. Ive decided that Im going to move to my brothers ce. You can think all of this over at home. After taking a wife, should you listen to her, or must she listen to you? If you cant understand, then donte and get me. I sleep alone just fine; I dont actually need you.


    She turned to leave after she finished speaking. Nian Junting was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly grabbed her arm.


    What, you want to forcefully drag me back? Fine. I have a baby in my tummy, though. As long as you arent afraid that I will struggle too much and hurt the baby, you can do whatever you want to me, Luosang said coldly before shrugging away from Nian Juntings big hands and leaving.


    Nian Junting looked at his palm, then looked at Luosangs silhouette. He was so angry that he could feel his heart pounding.


    But after thinking about it carefully, his heart just felt tired.


    Had his wife eaten too much barbequed-fish today and gone crazy?


    Such a bad temper.


    If she had gone to stay with Yan Su, he would have been able to squeeze in. He would only need to scare Yan Su a little and she wouldnt be able to do anything to him. But Mo Liuxi would be trouble if he couldnt be fazed.


    Yan Su regretted it the moment she entered the school with Mo Liuxi.


    If she had known earlier, she would have left by herself. But now circumstances had forced her to be alone with Mo Liuxi.


    As they approached a slip in the path, she said, Erm I have to look for a friend in the operations room. You can go ahead without me.


    What a coincidence, Im also looking for a friend there. Lets go together, Mo Liuxi said coolly, sticking his hands in his pockets.


    Yan Su gritted her teeth. She looked left and right and said softly, There are a lot of outsiders in the school, can you maintain some distance from me?

 Chapter 998

    Chapter 998


    Am I not keeping a distance? Mo Liuxi nced at the space between them and said, Im about thirty centimeters away from you.


    The perfect distance will be when you walk here and I walk on the other side of the road. Yan Su pulled her mask upward while speaking. She worried the others might recognize her.


    Mo Liuxi nced at her and said, I havent seen you in three days. Do you think what you said is possible?


    As Mo Liuxi fixed his eyes on her, Yan Sus cheeks started burning again.


    She really shouldnt talk to him here.


    She turned and kept moving forward. Mo Liuxi leisurely followed behind her and said, Hold out your hand.


    Yan Su kept her head lowered and ignored him.


    Im gonna hold your hand if you dont do what I say, Mo Liuxi threatened her.


    Yan Su was almost losing her mind. What on earth do you want? I was in the headlinesst time. There cant be another rumor about me. People will see me as a ygirl. Cant you think about my reputation?


    What do you think Im going to do? Hold your hand? Mo Liuxi wore a meaningful expression. His pupils shrank slightly while he responded with, Do you think Im that kind of person?


    I have no idea what kind of person you are. You are more and more mysterious to me, Yan Su said,ining.


    Mo Liuxi chuckled and said, Come on. I wont hurt you. Hold out your hand.


    His intimate tone of speaking made Yan Sus cheeks turn red. There was no close rtionship between the two of them. Why did he talk to her like that?


    To end the conversation sooner, Yan Su had no choice but to hold out her hand.


    Mo Liuxi took out a wrap of tissue from his trousers pocket, spread it, then poured a handful of sunflower seeds on her palm.


    Yan Su was surprised.


    She knew about sunflower seeds. Earlier, during lunch, Mo Liuxi was peeling them the whole time. He said that he would eat them all at one time. She didnt see the sunflower seeds again after she and Luosang returned from the bathroom. She thought he had eaten them, but unexpectedly, he was keeping them.


    Do you want me to make you a sunflower seed pancake? Yan Su asked.


    Mo Liuxi burst intoughter. Sometimes, he wanted to open up her skull and see her brain.


    I dont know how to make sunflower seed pancakes Yan Su said, her eyes turning away from him.


    All right. They are for you. I think you know that, said Mo Liuxi coldly.


    Yan Su felt a lot of pressure. She wished that a sunflower seed pancake was what he really wanted. But I dont like sunflower seeds, she said.


    I like them. Im giving what I like to you. Mo Liuxi looked down at her. The look in his eyes suddenly turned gentle and warm.


    Yan Sus heart raced. For a moment, she was distracted.


    And Mo Liuxi continued saying, Where are you moving to next year?


    Yan Su pressed her lips together and stayed silent.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her for a few seconds, then smiled again. Its okay. Ill go wherever you go.


    Mo Liuxi Yan Su honestly didnt know how to respond to him. Dont do this


    Call me Liuxi. He gave her an order.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    How could she possibly call him that? Even thinking about calling his name like that, made her feel ashamed.


    Why would I listen to you? Would you call me sister if I told you to? said Yan Su unhappily.


    Mo Liuxi smiled and then said, Baby.


    Yan Su gave a start. She hurriedly looked around. Thankfully, no one was looking at her.


    Are you crazy? she said. I just told you to call me sister.


    Mo Liuxi nodded and said, Silly little girl.


    Yan Su was speechless. She honestly didnt know how tomunicate with him in a normal way. She buried her face in her hands; her face blushed scarlet.


    Eh, I got to go. she said as she trotted away.

 Chapter 999

    Chapter 999


    When school was about to end, Mo Liuxi received a text from Luosang: I fought with your brother-inw, so Ill stay with you for a while. Mums ce is too close and Susu is afraid of him.


    Mo Liuxi frowned unconsciously. If Luosang moved in, wouldnt that hinder him in chasing Yan Su?


    On the other hand, if Luosang moved in, it might increase his interactions with Yan Su, especially since she had been avoiding him recently.


    Considering this, he immediately replied: Okay.


    Luosang: If your brother-inw looks for you, you must be fearless and stand up for me.


    Mo Liuxi: Dont worry. Youre my sister and he is that freebie you get from topping up your pre-paid mobile sim card. I understand this very well.


    Luosang:


    Mo Liuxi: What do you want to eat tonight? Ill cook.


    Luosang was touched and felt very warm. She had thought that going to her brothers house would inconvenience him, but look at how understanding he was.


    Luosang: Just make whatever youre good at. Im OK with anything.


    Mo Liuxi: Ill give the keys to youter. You can go home first with Yan Su and Ill go to the supermarket to buy groceries.


    Mo Liuxis mouth curved upwards. This was exactly what he wanted.


    After ss, Yan Su stayed in the library for a little while with Luosang before getting dragged back to the condominium. She had wanted to avoid walking with Luosang in case she bumped into Mo Liuxi again. However, Luosang was pregnant and she had to worry about her.


    Luckily, Mo Liuxi was not back yet when they arrived. Luosang prepared to cook.


    She was already eight-months pregnant, how could Yan Su let her wash the rice? Yan Su immediately helped her cook the rice.


    A little after 6 PM, Mo Liuxi came back carrying quite a few bags of groceries.


    Luosang ran over to take a look and was pleasantly surprised. Not only were there mantis shrimps, but there were also sea cucumbers, fish, yogurt, ice-cream, and fruit.


    Go watch television and leave the kitchen for me. Mo Liuxi rolled up his sleeves, removed his watch, put on an apron, and said to Yan Su, Please help me wash the fruit.


    Alright. Yan Su nodded. If she didnt wash them, Sangsang would definitelye to do it, so she couldnt refuse.


    I thank the both of you. Its such a privilege to be pregnant. Luosang smiled as she sat on the sofa and ate the yogurt.


    Although the space in the open kitchen was big, there was only one tap, so the two of them would inevitably bump into each other while washing things.


    When Yan Su was washing strawberries at the tap, Mo Liuxi came over with the sea cucumbers. He purposely grazed her fingers with his.


    Yan Su blushed and looked towards Luosang who was in the living room, only to see her concentrating on her phone and not looking at the kitchen. It was too far away anyway, and she wouldnt have been able to see anything, even if shed been looking.


    Yan Su could only give Mo Liuxi a frustrated re and say softly, Behave yourself, or else I will tell your sister.


    Sure. Mo Liuxi nodded immediately, lowered his head, and smiled gently. Ill also tell her that I like you.


    Yan Su immediately shut up.


    If you be my girlfriend, Ill buy good food and cook for you every day. You just have to make seafood porridge for me, thats all. Mo Liuxi noticed her soft ear. He had just touched it a few days ago. It was soft that he really wanted to kiss it.


    He realized that the desire in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.


    He wished he could carry her to his bed right then and treat her well.


    Faced with his advances, Yan Su didnt dare stay for too long and hurriedly washed the fruits. There was only a honeydew melon left to cut. Mo Liuxi took the fruit knife immediately and said, Ill cut it. If you cut your fingers, my heart will ache.

 Chapter 1000

    Chapter 1000


    Yan Su honestly felt that she might die of suffocation if she spent too much time with him.


    She red at him and said, Why didnt you worry about that before when you were at my ce?


    I didnt realize that I liked you back then. When I like someone, I tend to be really nice to her. While speaking, Mo Liuxi smoothly peeled the hami melon, getting rid of the seeds. He did it quietly and concentratedly, with his eyes dropped. His neat and elegant movements made him look like an artist.


    Looking at him, Yan Sus heart somehow thumped. She hurriedly picked up the washed fruit and left.


    In the living room, Luosang rested her chin on a palm. She heard Mo Liuxis voice, and sighed. Im suddenly jealous of Liuxis future girlfriend. Hes so good at cooking. Unlike him, Junting can be a disaster in the kitchen. Apart from that, he is so blindly confident. He always believes his food is extremely delicious and makes me eat all of it. So painful.


    Picturing it, Yan Su felt sorry for Luosang.


    As a twenty-year-old man, Mo Liuxi was indeed outstanding.


    He was young but was already a director who had a bright future, and he was perfectly handsome. He lived in arge apartment alone, without any housekeepers. However, the apartment was always clean.


    It must have something to do with the way he was raised.


    As for Shi Xiang


    Yan Su didnt even know if Shi Xiang knew how to cook or not.


    Their rtionship started in high school. It was pure, campus romance. They didnt have much to do together. Most of the time, they merely had short dates after school.


    Sometimes, only through the little things in life, could one fully understand another person.


    She hadnt known Mo Liuxi for long, but at that moment, she suddenly felt thatpared with Shi Xiang, she knew Mo Liuxi more.


    One hourter, Mo Liuxi was finished cooking the food. He made spicy mantis shrimp, boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili, steamed eggs with sea cucumber, and some stir-fried vegetables.


    Luosang hurriedly took a picture of the food, then posted it on WeChat moment My brother made me a rich dinner with love.


    After the post, she started to remove the shell of a mantis shrimp with satisfaction.


    The mantis shrimp had thorns and were harder to peel than small shrimp. Luosang hadnt peeled shrimp herself for a long time, so she was stung a few times. Instantly, she started missing the guy who always peeled her shrimp.


    She shook her head quickly and told herself that she was not allowed to miss him.


    Let me help you. Yan Su looked at her andughed, I think youre spoiled by Mr. Nian. You werent so clumsy before.


    Im fine. Luosang hurriedly waved her hand and said, Ignore me. Ill soon get into the swing of it.


    Ill do it, Mo Liuxi said. He picked up a mantis shrimp, removing the shell within three seconds.


    Yan Su and Luosang were both stunned by how fast he did it. You are really good at this, Yan Su murmured.


    Luosang nodded and said, Liuxi, when you have a girlfriend, you have to peel her shrimp. My heart leapt when your brother-inw said that hed peel all my shrimp for the rest of my life. You know, women are easily touched by details.


    Yeah? Mo Liuxi quickly nced at Yan Su.


    Yan Su worried that he might offer to peel a shrimp for her, so she hurriedly picked up a shrimp and directly bit it with her teeth.


    Seeing her awkward reaction, Mo Liuxi showed a smiling look in his eyes.


    During the whole dinner, Mo Liuxi removed mantis shrimp shells for Luosang. Yan Su peeled her shrimp alone, ending up with aching fingers and lips; she did it way more slowly than the other two.


    All of a sudden, she was a little jealous of Luosang.


    Why dont I have a good husband and a good brother? she asked herself.

 Chapter 1001

    Chapter 1001


    After dinner, Yan Su washed her hands at the sink.


    A lot of oil had gotten in-between her fingers, so she washed seriously.


    Suddenly, a warm body pressed against hers from behind.


    Her body trembled and she looked up. In the mirror, she saw that Mo Liuxi had appeared behind her without making a sound. His arms reached around her waist and gently grabbed her hands that were still rinsing off under the running water.


    What you are doing? She couldnt believe this. He waspletely hugging her from behind.


    Mo Liuxis head bent down to rest beside her ear, his lips close to her as heughed quietly. Youre my guest. I have to help to wash my guests hand thoroughly.


    Thank you, but no thanks. Let go of me now. Yan Su unsessfully tried to pull her hand away. The closeness of his lips to her ear made her toes tingle.


    Her small hands were enveloped inside his big ones. The water was falling onto both their hands. She waspletely wrapped up in his chest. Her nostrils were filled with his scent. Yan Su was so nervous that her breathing became uneven.


    See, your hand was scratched by the mantis prawns in so many spots. Mo Liuxis fingers gently grazed her tiny injuries, his tone indulgent and captivating. If you be my girlfriend, Ill do all this sort of work for you. Next time, my sister will be the one envious of you.


    I wasnt envious of her, Yan Su quickly denied.


    But when she raised her eyes, her gaze collided with his ck eyes. His eyes seemed as if they could look straight through a persons heart.


    Her heart was thumping.


    Mo Liuxis mouth curved as he washed each of her fingers carefully.


    In his embrace, Yan Sus brain became fuzzy. Her body felt hot all over as he washed her fingers for who knew how long.


    When he finally let her go, he said softly, After my sister goes to sleep for the night, Ill bring supper for you. He turned away to do the dishes.


    Both of Yan Sus legs felt soft as she walked away from the sink.


    Luosang nced at her. Susu, why is your face so red?


    Is it? Yan Sus heart skipped a beat. Maybe its because Im too hot. Ill go back to shower first.


    Alright.


    After she left, Luosang opened her WeChat moments. Many people had replied to her post.


    A Pretty Orchid: Sangsang, I can make all of these, too, but you never posted it on WeChat moments. Are you unhappy with my cooking?


    Nianxi: Ahhh, sister-inw, why didnt you invite me over? Please God, give me a younger brother like this, I dont want an elder brother like that.


    Xiao Si: Liuxi is amazing.


    Mo Jin: Now I miss my sons cooking a little.


    Xu Zhengxuan replied to Mo Jin: Ill cook for you.


    Nian Junting: Come back immediately.


    Luosang snorted and replied to everyone except Nian Junting.


    After she was done, she posted on WeChat moments: My brother peeled so many mantis prawns for me. I feel so blessed.


    After seeing the post, Nian Junting threw his phone away.


    He hurriedly called Sister Lan over and threw a tantrum. Look at what others have made. Why have you never thought of cooking mantis prawns?


    Sister Lan felt wronged. I did suggest it, but you were the one who said that if I buy mantis prawns, you would definitely be made to peel them again. It is too much of a hassle, so you told me not to.


    Nian Junting was stunned for a moment. Nonsense, am I that sort of person?


    Sister Lan looked at him quietly without saying anything.


    Nian Junting coughed lightly under her stare. I might have said it, but it must have been because work was too tiring at the time. Call Luosang now and tell her that you would make mantis prawns for her so she wille back quickly. Mo Liuxi is only a kid, how would he know how to take care of a pregnantdy?

 Chapter 1002

    Chapter 1002


    Oh, you dont need to worry about that, said Sister Lan. Liuxi is young, but he knows a lot, especially when ites to food. Last time when he had a meal with us, we talked about what pregnant women should eat and what they shouldnt. Oh my, he is very


    Before Sister Lan could finish, Nian Juntings eyesnded on her, making her feel chilly.


    She hurriedly changed her words, and continued with, He really made me worry. Seriously, hes only twenty, right? Im calling Sangsang now.


    She put the call on speaker. Once the call was answered, Luosangs voice was heard. Sister Lan, I know that your Young Master is sitting right beside you. Im telling you that this wont work. I really had enough of him this time. Im doing good at my brothers ce now. Tell him to leave me alone.


    Nian Junting grasped the phone and said, Xu Luosang, dont push this too far. Im doing this for your own good, am I not? Im worried about you. I dont want you to have an ident, and I dont want you to eat too much unhealthy food; it might cause a health problem. You need toe home before tomorrow. Ill forgive you for eating outside without telling me today.


    Are you ordering me? Luosang sneered. You have be really arrogant since we got married. Ive told you that you need to think about it. Should you listen to your wife, or should your wife listen to you?


    Luosang ended the call directly.


    Nian Junting was so angry that he intended to throw the phone to the floor. Sister Lan hurriedly stopped him and said, Young master, thats my phone.


    Nian Junting grumpily threw the phone back to her.


    He made a few circles in the living room, then called Nian Xi. Your sister-inw ran away. Tell her toe home.


    Nian Xi stayed silent for a few seconds, thenughed. Really? Has Sangsang finally failed to tolerate you? She thought it through atst.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead and said, Nian Xi, are you having too much free timetely? Im going to tell Mom to arrange a few blind dates for you. What do you think about that?


    Eh-hem. Nian Xi coughed and then responded with, Youre right. How could Sangsang run away from home? No matter what happened, she should sit down and talk to you about it peacefully, right? Youre a couple after all.


    I spoiled her. Nian Juntingined.


    Hearing that, Nian Xi couldnt bear continuing the lie. Brother, honestly, Sangsang has her own lifestyle. You are forcing to change her lifestyle to yours. Its reasonable that she cant stand it. Take war films as an example. She doesnt like those films, but you made her watch them


    What are you talking about? Why do I feel that she likes those films? Nian Junting replied carelessly. You dont live with us. You dont know.


    Nian Xi felt speechless.


    You deserve to fight with your wife, she thought.


    Okay, its you who doesnt understand. Sangsang onceined to me about it. You like those films, so you think that she likes them too? Ask yourself, how long havent you observed her and paid attention to her feelings? Nian Xi snorted, then continued saying, Most girls dont like war films. We like romantic films. Sangsang is a nice person. If I were her, I wouldnt be able to stand you for a single minute.


    Nian Xi, mind yournguage. Im asking you to talk to her, not to give me a lecture. Nian Junting warned her.


    Nian Xi sighed. Brother, Im saying this for your own good. I always feel that you are too dominating. You were better after you and Sangsang got together, but since you guys got married, you became dominating again. You are treating her like a prisoner. She is a person, not a machine. Not to mention the fact that shes a pregnant woman. Pregnant women can have doubts very easily. You are only having a small fight now, but over time, youll have a marriage crisis. Do you want to get a divorce?

 Chapter 1003

    Chapter 1003


    Nian Junting recalled Luosangs words.


    He was her first husband, but he could be her ex at any moment.


    His heart skipped a beat. Thats impossible. For a man as perfect as me to be divorced by my wife would be ludicrous. She is younger than me, so she doesnt know any better. Its normal for me to control her a little.


    No, forget that. So much has happened in Sangsangs family. She studied abroad in Japan all by herself when she was just ten, and after that, she became a caretaker before she finished her studies. She is even more mature than me and is a very independent person. If you continue to be like this, when she doesnt want you anymore, dont me me for not warning you. Nian Xi hung up once she was finished talking.


    Nian Junting sat there in stunned silence for a while, his heart extremely troubled.


    Without Luosang at home, everything felt ufortable.


    Especially after Sister Lan and Steward Wu saw that he was in a bad mood and quickly returned to their rooms after dinner. It was as if he was alone in thisrge house.


    He was so lonely that he called Xiao Si. Come out for a drink.


    Haha forget it. I go out with you to get my photos taken and then go home? Xiao Si snorted. Im not that dumb. Plus, I have a girlfriend now, so why would I apany you instead?


    Nian Junting:


    Xiao Si continued, You suddenly invite me out did you fight with Sangsang? Objectively speaking, with your rotten temper, you should treasure Sangsang. If you get divorced, no one else would want you.


    Shut up. Nian Junting gritted his teeth and decided to ignore Xiao Si.


    At eight oclock in the evening, Luosang loungedzily on Mo Liuxis sofa. She felt that life was so calm now. She really hadnt been this rxed in a long time.


    She could y a game with her brother or watch the drama she liked on T.V. for a while.


    At ten oclock sharp, she went to sleep.


    After another ten minutes or so, Liuxi, who was about to make supper, received a text from Yan Su: Im going to sleep, dont make supper for me.


    Mo Liuxi smiled and bent his head down to reply: Your wish is mymand.


    Next door, Yan Su stared at these five words as her cheeks med hot.


    At six the next morning, Mo Liuxi prepared to go for a run and get groceries. Right when he opened the door, he saw Nian Junting leaning against the wall. He had been standing there for god knew how long, his eyes bloodshot. In his left arm was a bouquet of roses, in his right was a three-tiered lunchbox.


    When he heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately turned around and walked over with his back straight.


    Mo Liuxi was a little surprised. When did you get here? Why didnt you knock on the door?


    I didnt want to disturb Sangsangs rest. Nian Juntings brows were furrowed. I can imagine thatst night, your sister must have tossed and turned for a long time without me there.


    After all, he had been like thatst night.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Who in the world gave him that confidence?


    Let me in, I made breakfast for your sister. Nian Junting nced at Mo Liuxi. But there isnt any for you. Go buy your own outside.


    Mo Liuxi crossed his arms. I really dont understand how you ever courted my sister. Your EQ is so low that its scary.


    Wouldnt most people try to butter him up as the younger brother so hed put in a few good words for them?


    Watch your mouth, is this how you speak to your brother-inw? Nian Junting walked straight past him into the house.


    Mo Liuxi didnt try to stop him but only said, She is still sleeping, dont disturb her.


    I dont need you to tell me.


    After going in, Nian Junting ced the breakfast down. He secretly went to open the door to the spare bedroom, only to find that it was locked from the inside.


    In the end, he could only return to the sofa and sit there. After about an hour, Luosang finally came out, stretching her arms. I havent had such a good nights rest in a long time, how blissful. Why would anyone want to get married as early as I did?

 Chapter 1004

    Chapter 1004


    Mo Liuxi looked at the man who quickly stood up from the couch. As he expected, the man had a very sour face.


    He gave a small smile.


    Who said that his sister wouldnt be able to sleep at night?


    Luosang walked out and saw Nian Junting in the living room. Her stretched arms froze in the air.


    With a cold and tired face, Nian Junting walked toward Luosang. He didnt sleepst night, yet, she slept so well. She wondered why she got married.


    Mo Liuxi worried they might have a fight, so he hurriedly stood before Luosang.


    Move. Nian Junting coldly stared at Luosang, who was standing behind her brother. Do you regret marrying me now?


    Luosang paused briefly, then stayed silent.


    If she said no, she would be losing the fight, and he would be happy. If she said yes, her marriage would be facing a real problem, and the rtionship between the two of them would be affected in a bad way.


    Nian Junting regretted asking the question. What should he do if she said yes? He never thought about ending his marriage.


    Standing between them, Mo Liuxi frowned and said, I think you two need to sit down and talk. After all, you havent been married long.


    Hes right. Nian Junting sighed with relief. For the first time, he felt that Mo Liuxi wasnt annoying. So you can go out, and your sister and I will talk.


    You guys can talk in her room. This is my apartment, so why would I leave? Mo Liuxi said, then turned and walked into the kitchen.


    He was actually worried the fight might be intense. If that happened, he couldnt leave Luosang there alone with Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting knitted his eyebrows, then dragged Luosang into her room.


    Once in, he put a flower into Luosangs hands and said, I admit that Ive been too strict with you. I just wanted you and the baby to be healthy. Youre pregnant. I worry that you might have an ident, and that unhealthy food might give you cancer. I heard that during the past few years, a couple of my employees died from cancer. Our lives can be short when were together, but if youre not with me, my life would be too long to live. I just cant stand the possibility that you might die before me.


    Luosangs eye sockets warmed slightly. She wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she didnt let that happen. I understand what you mean, she said. I didnt care so much about my health when I was alone, but now, for you and the baby, I will take good care of myself. I can reduce the number of times I eat out, but you cant forbid me from doing it. You cant decide what I do and think. Also, when we were at home, you always made me do things that I dont want to do. Junting, sometimes, I felt tired. You are so bossy that you dont listen to my advice. Im really tired. I have no space for myself, and I dont like a life like that.


    Nian Junting was stunned.


    He didnt know his happy life was actually like that in Luosangs eyes.


    Junting, can you please listen to me? I wont eat out every day, but we can do it once a week. I dont like anti-Japanese war dramas, so please dont make me watch those. I want to take as many sses as possible, while I can still walk. There are many things that we can negotiate. If you dont want to do that, I think we need some time apart to calm down and figure out what we really want, Luosang said.


    Nian Juntings heart instantly sank.


    They were parted once, and that was already unbearable for him. If that happened again, he would suffer even more.


    Its no big deal. You just want me to listen to you, right? Okay, lets do that. In fact, thats why I came here. Nian Junting hurriedly said to her, We are men, you know. Men are supposed to listen to their wives.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    The change in his attitude happened so suddenly, she was caught off guard.

 Chapter 1005

    Chapter 1005


    Seeing her staying silent, Nian Junting asked sheepishly, Do you have a problem with what I said? Didnt you tell me to think about who to listen to at home yesterday?


    Luosang was speechless. Dont take back your words again after I go home.


    Am I that sort of person? As a man, a promise is a promise. See, I got up at 5 A.M. this morning to make breakfast for you. Mo Liuxi is not the only one who can cook. I even brought breakfast over. Nian Junting took advantage of her surprise and hurriedly walked forward to hug her and kiss her twice. Then he said in an indulgent voice, While I wasnt here yesterday, did that little rascal disturb you?


    No. Luosang shook her head. He was very obedient. Maybe he is so noisy because he is usually annoyed at you.


    Annoyed at me? Nian Juntingughed coldly. I read morals and philosophy to him every day, whats there to be annoyed at?


    The antenatal training you gave him was on morals and philosophy. Thats exactly what made it annoying, alright?


    Never mind, go out and eat the breakfast I made for you. Nian Junting hugged her waist as they walked out.


    Mo Liuxi looked at the two of them speechlessly.


    It had only taken a few minutes for them to reconcile.


    Nian Junting passed over the lunchbox he brought. Luosang opened the firstyer to find a hard-boiled egg inside.


    She was stunned for a moment until Nian Junting said hurriedly, Pregnant women must eat an egg every day.


    Alright.


    Luosang could only open the secondyer. A heart-shaped sunny-side-up egg was inside.


    Nian Junting said, This egg represents my love.


    Luosang hadpletely given up on this breakfast before shed even opened the thirdyer. In it was milk powder that hadnt been dissolved in hot water on top of walnuts, dried fruits, and almonds.


    Luosang waspletely speechless. So after all that, her breakfast was just two eggs and a cup of milk.


    Nian Junting exined immediately, I wanted to cook beef noodles and wanton, but those cannot be left out for too long. Im not good at cooking porridge either, so I could only bring the milk powder over.


    Mo Liuxi walked over to take a look and waspletely stunned.


    Compared to this, he felt that he really had spoiled Yan Su. She shoulde and take a look.


    He hurriedly took out his phone and took a photo.


    What are you doing? Nian Junting frowned.


    Nothing. If I have a girlfriend in the future and she quarrels with me, Ill take this out and she will know how well I treat her byparison. Mo Liuxi returned to the kitchen again.


    Nian Junting:


    He coughed once and curled his fists up. What I made might be a little shabby, but it is nutritious. Even if what other people make is delicious, is it as nutritious as mine?


    Thats right. Luosang squeezed out a smile.


    She told herself that it was alright. If he had tried to make a sumptuous breakfast for her, it would probably have been extremely disgusting.


    Mo Liuxi cooked four bowls of noodles.


    When Luosang came over, she was taken aback for a moment. There are only three of us.


    I thought that you would ask Yan Su over. Mo Liuxi raised his head nonchntly. The two of you became inseparable the moment you met.


    Susu said that shes skipping the first period to sleep in. Luosang shrugged. She sent me a textst night. You and Junting should just eat more.


    Mo Liuxis head lowered and a dark gloom fleetingly glinted in his eyes.


    Nian Juntingmented after finishing his noodles, It does taste not bad, but its not as vorful as what Sister Lan makes. Sangsang, lets return to the vi.


    Luosang looked at him with irritation.


    Not as good as Sister Lans cooking, yet you ate two bowls in one sitting.


    Luckily, Mo Liuxi suddenly seemed distracted and didnt pursue the matter.


    Thinking about how her husband was usually unpopr with people, Luosang decided to move back to the vi out of consideration for other people.

 Chapter 1006

    Chapter 1006


    Yan Su received a message from Mo Liuxi when she was lying in the bed.


    It was a picture of breakfast, including a boiled egg, a fried egg, and a bagful of milk powder.


    The text message was This is the breakfast that Nian Junting prepared for my sister. Now do you think that Im nice to you? Cherish what you have.


    Looking at the picture, Mo Liuxis chicken wings, yogurt and all kinds of desserts popped into her mind. Of course she felt that Mo Liuxi was much better than Nian Junting.


    Then she shook her head quickly.


    No. Im not so into food, she told herself.


    Luosang had moved back to the vi. Afterwards, Yan Su tried very hard to avoid Mo Liuxi. She was even extra careful when she went out of the apartment to throw away the trash. However, he caught her outside her door when she came home the next day.


    He put one hand on the wall behind her, keeping some distance between them, while disabling her from running away.


    Yan Su groaned inwardly. Her heart was nearly in her mouth. Have you installed a surveince camera at my door? she asked.


    She was so careful, yet, he still caught her.


    No, but Ive been sitting here and reading a book the whole time. Mo Liuxi scratched his ear and said, I dont talk to you at school, but at home, I have to see you.


    Yan Su paused with surprise. It was 9:00 p.m. already. Had he been sitting by her door all this time?


    That would not befortable.


    Yan Su, you are avoiding me. Mo Liuxi frowned slightly. Do you think you can always hide from me? Next week, Director Lis new film will beunched. You need to be there too. Well see each other by then.


    Yan Su didnt say anything.


    She would not only see Mo Liuxi by then, but also Shi Xiang.


    She didnt want to go at all. However, she had signed a contract, and ording to it, she needed to take part in all of the advertising events about the new film. Also, Xiang Wan wanted her to go, as that might allow more people to notice her.


    I dont want to attend an event like that. As Yan Su stayed silent, Mo Liuxi continued in a demagogic tone, But I worry you might get bullied if Im not with you.


    Yan Su raised her head and looked into his dark eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. I never made any enemies. Who would bully me?


    Silly. Mo Liuxi pinched her nose and said, There will be a party after theunch. At the party, people wille to you and make toasts. As a pretty girl, you can easily be a target.


    It wont be the first time Ive attended a party like that. I know how to protect myself. Besides, I think youll probably be the most dangerous man to me at the party. Yan Su poked his strong chest and said, Can you stay away from me?


    She was going crazy by what he was doing and saying.


    His chest was nearly pressed against hers.


    Mo Liuxi grinned, then abruptly took out a cup of yogurt with a straw in it from the pocket of his sports coat. Drink this, and Ill let you in to your apartment.


    Ive had some yogurt earlier tonight. Yan Su lied.


    Come on. This is a new vor. I promise that youll like it. Mo Liuxi coaxed her with an intimate tone.


    Hearing those wordse from a boy who was three years younger than herself, Yan Su wanted a hole to crawl into. Her face started burning.


    She only wanted the conversation to end soon. As she reached toward the yogurt, Mo Liuxi dodged her hand, then put the straw near her lips and said, Let me feed you.


    No. Yan Su felt that she was going to lose her mind.


    Do you want this to continue? Mo Liuxi moved closer to her and lowered his head further.


    Yan Su hurriedly held the straw in her mouth. It was ice-cream vored yogurt. She didnt know where he found such delicious yogurt, but she finished the cup in one breath.

 Chapter 1007

    Chapter 1007


    Only then did Mo Liuxis eyes light up with happiness again. Actually, you are very young and also pretty. Its normal for you to be chased by guys. Theres no need to avoid it so much unless you dont want to experience what its like to be courted until youre in your thirties or forties. Not that that age is no good, but as the saying goes, youre in your prime now.


    Yan Su was stunned for a little while.


    She had never thought about dating again.


    Mo Liuxi went on, I know that youve been through a rtionship that failed, and perhaps, for the sake of that rtionship, you wasted a few years, but you cant possibly use the remaining years of your prime to memorialize that, too.


    I met this foreign old granny once. She said that what she regrets most in life is having never loved without a care in the world at least once while she was young. Yan Su, you once left home for the person you loved, youve been crazy in love once before, why have you be so scared of it now?


    When Mo Liuxi finished, he took a step back, turned around, and returned to his room.


    Yan Su looked at his closed door, dazed.


    Another week passed.


    The country was gradually transitioning into winter, but the weather in Xia City was still warm.


    Thursday was the day of the press release for Director Ans new movie.


    It had been five years since hisst movie, so the release immediately attracted the attention of countless media outlets from all over Xia City.


    As the singer, Yan Su also had to go on stage. Early in the morning, she was personally fetched by the nanny van to pick out her clothes. Because it was for an important event, Xiang Wan personally apanied her as her agent.


    Ms. Xiang, what do you think about this dress in a refreshing blue? the stylist asked. This is thetest design by Bottega Va.


    Xiang Wan threw a magazine towards her. Did water get into your brain? Yan Su is just a singer, not the lead actress. If she wears something that eye-catching itll look as if she wants to steal Ji Nuanyis thunder. Lets take that ck one, its low-key but sophisticated.


    When she finished talking, she looked at Yan Su. What do you think?


    Hm? Yan Su bemusedly looked up.


    Xiang Wans head started to ache. You have been preupied for a while, how can you take part in todays press release in this state? Have you memorized your responses? Youd better not forget anything when those reporters are interviewing you.


    I wont I was just thinking about some things just now, Yan Su said with a forced smile.


    After the press release ends, there is an interview. The reporters will definitely ask you about the scandalous photo of you when you were caught with Lu Kang. Be careful not to say too much.


    Xiang Wan reminded her of this repeatedly until she sent Yan Su to the hotel where the press release was being held.


    Yan Su was led into the building by the staff. The holding room was arge suite on the top floor. When she entered, there were already more than ten people standing inside. Some of them looked familiar and were already chatting together.


    Ye Yunyang walked over to her carrying two sses of juice. Have something to drink. Itll be a while before the press release begins.


    Thank you, is the main cast all here yet? Yan Su pretended to be nonchnt while asking the question.


    Yes, they are all upstairs for their individual interviews. Ye Yunyang smiled.


    Including Shi Yu? Yan Su was confused. Isnt he the third lead?


    His production team has been promoting this as the keystone project in his transformation, so the media is paying him a lot of attention. Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders. It must be good to be good-looking and young. You can change your style whenever you want. In my time, everything depended on whether or not you had acting skills.


    Yan Su heard the unhappiness in his words and smiled, saying nothing.


    After about ten minutes, Shi Yu, Ji Nuanyi, and Cheng Sheng came down from upstairs.

 Chapter 1008

    Chapter 1008


    She hadnt seen Shi Xiang for a while. He had a brush haircut and his face was unshaven. His pretty face looked both manly and mature.


    Yan Su was no longer familiar with that face of his.


    If she hadnt heard about him and the rich girl, she might find him charming.


    But now


    She turned her face away. As a singer, she didnt need to work with the crew, so no one came to talk to her.


    Ye Yunyang, as a senior in the circle, knew a lot of people in the crew. Therefore, he was happily chatting with others at the moment. Yan Su was left alone, drinking some juice. No one even came to her to say hello.


    Hi. Ji Nuanyi walked to her, along with Cheng Sheng.


    This is Yan Su. She is a talented new singer. Ji Nuanyi introduced Yan Su to Cheng Sheng.


    Mr. Cheng, Ive heard so much about you. Yan Su hurriedly shook hands with Cheng Sheng.


    Cheng Sheng was a superstar, who had won a lot of awards. Many people on the scene wanted to meet him.


    Yan Su was ttered when Ji Nuanyi introduced her to him.


    You are popr this year. Cheng Sheng smiled and said, Im surprised that Director Li picked you, but that proved your capability. Work hard.


    Thank you, Mr. Cheng. Yan Su thanked him sincerely.


    Mr. Cheng, Nuanyi, what are you talking about? Isnt this Miss Yan? Shi Xiang walked over, and looked at Yan Su in a meaningful way, saying, Miss Yan, Im surprised to see you again so soon.


    Yan Sus heart was instantly tightened.


    So many times, she fantasied about working together with him. But now, he was right in front of her, yet all the good feelings were gone. It was so ironic.


    Have you guys met? Cheng Sheng asked.


    Yeah, at a concert in Beijing. We met backstage but didnt have a chance to talk. Miss Yan, I admire you for how good you are at singing. Ive been hoping that I can learn from you. Can I have your number?


    Yan Su had changed her phone number, to make Shi Xiang disappear from her heartpletely.


    Now, as he asked for her number in front of so many people, she couldnt say no.


    Shi Xiang dialed the number, and her phone rang. We are both singers. I guess well have a chance to work together, he said and smiled.


    Yan Su gave a faint smile, and responded with, Mr. Shi, you are an actor now, maybe I wont be lucky enough to work with you.


    I wont give up on singing. Im nning to release a new album this year. Mypany is looking for a suitable female singer to work with me


    I dont think Im qualified to sing together with you, Mr. Shi. Yan Su forced a smile.


    That is wrong. Shi Xiang shrugged and said, I think you have the best voice among all the new singers.


    Miss Yan, dont be too humble. Ji Nuanyi tried tofort Yan Su. Director Li said you will be a superstar, sooner orter.


    Yan Su paused with surprise. She was delighted that Director Li had actually given her that kind ofpliment.


    Mo Liuxi saw Yan Su standing together with a few leading stars once he came in with Li Ming.


    She was wearing a ck dress, with her delicate shoulders and beautiful neck exposed. Her hair was coiled into a pretty bun, making her look elegant.


    She was standing together with Shi Xiang, who was in a ck suit. They looked like a perfect couple. Mo Liuxi couldnt see Shi Xiangs face, but could tell that he was looking at Yan Su with a smile.


    Mo Liuxi slightly narrowed his eyes, as he felt ufortable.

 Chapter 1009

    Chapter 1009


    Mo Liuxi moved his long legs and walked over, looking so darkly handsome. Sister Nuanyi


    Liuxi. Ji Nuanyi was surprised by the sudden affection. It wasnt as if she had never met Mo Liuxi, but he had always been as cold as Nian Junting.


    To think that you took the initiative to call me sister, it really surprised me.


    Mo Liuxi replied, You have helped me before, Sister.


    It was just a few simple words, but Ji Nuanyi understood.


    What are you guys talking about? Mo Liuxi spoke again. His gaze leisurelynded on Yan Su, causing her heart to start thumping faster. It was a good thing that his gaze only stopped there for a second.


    Ji Nuanyi smiled. Just now, Shi Yu was asking Yan Su for her number. He is going to release a new album this year. Maybe hell ask Ms. Yan to coborate with him.


    Is that so? Mo Liu nced at Shi Yu, his tone light but cold. If I were Mr. Shi, I might not find Ms. Yan to do a coboration.


    Shi Yu felt that there wouldnt be any good wordsing from his mouth in a minute. After all, the two of them didnt see eye to eye. Unfortunately, Cheng Sheng had already curiously asked, Why?


    Mo Liuxiughed and answered, Isnt it obvious? One is an ability-based singer, the other is an idol singer. There are bound to be problems if Mr. Shi and Ms. Yan coborate. For example, what happens if Mr. Shi cannot keep up with Ms. Xus pitch when singing?


    When he was done talking, all four people fell silent.


    Even Cheng Sheng, the senior, felt awkward that he had asked. Although everyone agreed with Mo Liuxis words, no one would have dared to say it directly like that.


    Ji Nuanyi was also frowning. Luosangs younger brother really had a vicious tongue. If she had known, she wouldnt have said anything just then.


    Yan Su was used to his sharp tongue.


    As the target of his sarcasm, Shi Yus handsome face had an extremely ugly expression.


    After all, it was obvious that Mo Liuxi was talking about him when hed said idol-singer, since he couldnt possibly force that title on Yan Su. After all, Shi Yu had debuted in Korea. Although hed received many awards, the world still considered him as just an idol singer.


    It was Yan Su who, seeing that the mood had be awkward, said softly, Theres no line between idol singers and ability-based singers. Mr. Shi has received so many awards. He has also regrly been in the top three on the top charts in thest two years. He is, without a doubt, an ability-based singer.


    Yes, that is true indeed. Cheng Sheng quickly nodded his head and yawned. Just in time, Li Ming walked over to them. He hurriedly went over to hug Li Ming. Director Li, please arrange how we are going to walk on stageter.


    Li Ming was sharp and could tell that the atmosphere was off. When he saw that both Shi Yu and Mo Liuxi were present, he instantly guessed half of what had happened and said hurriedly, Of course, you will be with Nuanyi. Look at how high her heels are! You must support her.


    Of course.


    How about me? Shi Yu asked. I dont have a partner to go on stage with yet. How about me and Ms. Yan? She is also in ck, and we are about the same age


    Before Li Ming could say anything, Mo Liuxi interjectedzily, Shouldnt singers walk together?


    Li Ming nodded. Yes, Shi Yu, walk with Yan Ziqian.


    Alright, Ill talk to Yan Ziqian about this. Shi Yu turned around to say to Yan Su, Please add me on WeChat.


    When he finished speaking, he turned around and left.


    You should follow me, too. Li Ming looked at Mo Liuxi.


    As Mo Liuxi followed him out, Li Ming looked at him as if he was about to cry. Little brat, can you please fight less with Shi Yu? There were so many people watching just now and you made things so difficult for him.

 Chapter 1010

    Chapter 1010


    Yeah, why? Mo Liuxi nodded and said, Before I came here, I told myself that hes actually not so bad. But I couldnt help but dislike him every time I saw him. I guess hes just too unpleasing.


    Li Mings mouth corner twitched slightly. Youll be taking an interviewter, he said. The reporter will ask you about what you think of the actors and actresses. You need to pretend to like every one of them in front of the press.


    Dont worry about that. I will. Mo Liuxi nodded.


    Li Ming, of course, was still worried. He sighed and continued with, Im saying this for your own good. If you criticize Shi Xiang in public, his fans will curse you to death. I guess among the whole crew, he has the most fans, and his fans are the craziest.


    I know. Mo Liuxi responded unhappily.


    Before theunching, when she was preparing to go on the stage, Yan Su received a WeChat message and a text,


    Mo Liuxi Do not make Shi Xiang your WeChat friend. Keep a distance from him. He is not a decent man. Dont forget how he hurt my sister.


    Shi Xiang Wait for me. I have a lot to say to you.


    Yan Su felt so troubled.


    At the beginning of theunching, she walked onto the stage, arm in arm with Ye Yunyang. The main target of the press was the leading stars of the movie, but Yan Su and the others still needed to say something.


    A reporter abruptly asked her a question, Su, you are the newest artist among the crew, right? Are you under pressure?


    Yan Su nodded and responded with, Of course. I do feel pressure to work with so many experienced artists. Thankfully, Im a singer, so I dont need to do the acting. Mr. Ye is the only source of my pressure. Im coping with it. Im excited to see so many idols that I could only see on TV before.


    The reporters asked everyone questions who came on stage. When Mo Liuxi came up, a reporter asked him, Director Mo, you are as handsome as many superstars. Have you thought about being an actor?


    Not interested. Mo Liuxi answered the question calmly and ndly.


    Hearing his simple answer, the reporter felt a little embarrassed. However, he reacted quickly and asked, Director Mo, you are a big shareholder of Loxi Films. Have you thought about making a film for your ownpany? Also, does Loxi Films have any ns for the next year?


    Mo Liuxi frowned slightly, then responded with, Im not sure. Loxi Films has hired a CEO. I might direct a film for thepany, if they need me.


    To enliven the atmosphere, the emcee started a series of games. Shi Xiang picked his game out of a hat, and that was squeezing balloons with a female artist.


    As the emcee named his game out loud, the audiences were stirred.


    I wonder which girl Shi Xiang will pick, said the emcee jokingly. Wow, they are all beautifuldies.


    Shi Xiang gave a bitter smile and said, Yeah, its a hard choice to make. You guys are being too nice to me.


    The emceeughed. Pick carefully.


    Shi Xiang nced at the group of actresses, then said, Ill choose Yan Su.


    Yan Su didnt see thating. Before she could even react, she sensed countless eyes hadnded on her.


    She turned and saw Mo Liuxi narrow his eyes with a frosty look on his face.


    May I ask why? Do you think shes the prettiest among all? The emcee asked withughter.


    No. You are trying to make me offend all the other prettydies on the stage. Shi Xiang hurriedly exined saying, I just feel that Yan Su and I are the same age. The otherdies are like elder sisters to me. I was worried they might be afraid of balloon explosions.

 Chapter 1011

    Chapter 1011


    The emceeughed. Then, you arent worried that Yan Su is scared of popping the balloon?


    Shi Yu smiled. She is young and she needs to be braver.


    The emcee joked. This isnt very gentlemanly of you. Be careful or you wont be able to find a girlfriend.


    Shi Yus female fans beneath the stage instantly started screaming wildly: We are willing to be his girlfriend!


    Everyone on stageughed. The emcee said, Shi Yus fans are indeed supportive. Then, Yan Su, Shi Yu invited you, are you willing to ept?


    Yan Su had already recovered from the shock and said jokingly, Of course I am willing to ept. After all, it is Shi Yu, the husband in every girls heart right now. I have the heart, but Im not brave enough. Im afraid of his fans envy and jealousy.


    Indeed. The emcee nodded with a smile that wasnt quite genuine. If youre sure


    Shi Yu immediately took the microphone and said, If you dont do this with me, then I really dont know who else to ask.


    Please dont pick any middle-aged women like us. On the side, the third female lead, Yang Ziqian, jokingly said, Im terrified of balloons.


    Yan Suughed tiredly. Alright, actually, to be frank, Ive been too afraid to even step on a balloon since I was a kid.


    Shi Yus gaze glinted with somethingplicated as he looked at her.


    At that moment, Mo Liuxi, who had been standing off to the side, suddenly stepped forward. Since everyone is afraid, Ill squeeze it with you.


    The emcee was stunned for a moment. Erm the requirement is a female artist


    I know, but isnt it more exciting to have two handsome young men hug each other to pop the balloon? Would you guys like to see that? Mo Liuxisplicated, bad boy smile broke out on his devilishly handsome face, causing the fans below the stage to scream wildly. Although not everyone knew his name, as soon as he stood next to Shi Yu, that aura of cool haughtiness he projected started being discussed by many fans.


    Yes, we want to see! The girls started screaming. The excitement in the ce had reached its highest point.


    The emcee smile. Everyone here is a fujoshi. Shi Yu, look at how everyone is looking forward to seeing you and Liuxi.


    Shi Yus gaze met Mo Liuxis, his mouth suddenly curving in a sinister smile. With all your screams, even Im getting excited.


    In his heart, he was rather confused as to why Mo Liuxi would volunteer himself for this. After all, the two of them never saw eye to eye.


    Unless Mo Liuxi wanted to do something to him? But then he thought that, no matter how strong his backing was, Mo Liuxi wouldnt dare pull some trick on stage. After all, Shi Yus fan army was strong, and Li Ming wouldnt allow Mo Liuxi to act rashly, either.


    With that thought, he rxed.


    He only regretted that he couldnt be up-close to Yan Su and hug her.


    The two of them had to burst ten balloons.


    Mo Liuxi took two balloons and ced them between the two of them. With tworge men hugging each other, bang, the balloons popped, causing the audience to scream wildly.


    After all, both of them were iparably good-looking. One was handsome while the other had a cool charisma. In the fujoshis world, that was full of a forbidden charm.


    Yan Su stood silently off to the side. Looking at the two of them, she suddenly felt very extra.


    However, she was still rather grateful that Mo Liuxi had volunteered himself in her ce this time. After all, she knew how much he disliked Shi Yu.


    After the ten balloons were popped, the emcee interviewed Mo Liuxi. How does it feel to hug our Shi Yu?


    Mo Liuxi faintly smiled. I still prefer to hug women.


    Liuxi, youre so good-looking, female fans screamed.


    The emcee asked Shi Yu, How about you?


    Shi Yu also smiled. I also prefer the feeling of hugging women.

 Chapter 1012

    Chapter 1012


    The emceeughed. The otherdies still have a chance then.


    After the balloon game, a few other games were yed. Almost everyone on the stage participated. Yan Su was lucky enough to avoid any more awkward situations.


    After theunching, some artists needed to ept individual interviews upstairs.


    The artists who had interviews, went upstairs together. Yan Su moved slowly behind the others. As she arrived at the elevator, both Shi Xiang and Cheng Sheng were already in the elevator with many others. Shi Xiang stood by the door, waved at her and said, Come on.


    Ill wait for the next ride. I dont want to squeeze you guys.


    Its all right, said Shi Xiang with a gentle voice.


    As he said that, she noticed there were many senior artists in the elevator. Yan Su had no choice but to get into the elevator with Jiaojiao.


    Shi Xiang pressed the close button.


    Wait! A guy in a bluish-gray suit came over.


    Before the elevator door closed, Mo Liuxi darted in, and squeezed himself together with Yan Su.


    Yan Su was facing the outside. When Mo Liuxi came in, her chest was suddenly pressed against his.


    It wasnt the first time something like that happened. She immediately felt awkward, as she worried that Mo Liuxi might have the same reaction as he had thest time.


    At that point, Shi Xiang moved slightly backward, then said to Yan Su, Come over here.


    Yan Su hurriedly moved slightly toward him.


    Mo Liuxi nced at Shi Xiang and found that he was looking down at Yan Su. He was probably looking at her face, or corbone. Yan Su wore a low-cut dress. A tall man could easily see her cleavage.


    He narrowed his eyes slightly, then he made some effort to move between Shi Xu and Yan Su. He said to Ji Nuanyi who was in a corner, Nuanyi, when will your interview end?


    In about half an hour, Ji Nuanyi said, answering the question. Why?


    Hmm. Id like to talk to you about your role, Mo Liuxi said ndly.


    Do I need to be there? Cheng Sheng hurriedly joined the conversation. He was the male lead in the film after all. He had always been very serious about his work.


    No need, Mo Liuxi replied quickly. A couple of secondster, he sensed that Cheng Sheng might be feeling embarrassed because of what he said, so he added, I only like to talk to prettydies.


    People could tell that he was making a joke, so they allughed.


    Yan Su nced at him with surprise. Mo Liuxi rarely cared about other peoples feelings when he spoke to them. But he seemed to care about Cheng Shengs feelings. It was reasonable though. Cheng Sheng was an award-winning actor. Both his acting skills and moral quality were impable.


    As the elevator arrived, people walked out, returning to their rooms.


    The reporters werent there yet. Yan Sus feet were killing her. She hurriedly took off her high heels while the make-up artist was giving her a touchup. Soon, the reporter would be there to give her an interview. She had to wear delicate makeup.


    You shouldnt have refused to y the balloon game with Shi Xiang, said Jiaojiao regrettably. That was your chance to get into the headlines. You need that kind of exposure.


    I was worried that Shi Xiangs fans might attack me. Yan Sus eyes dropped.


    That might happen. Jiaojiao didnt continue the topic.


    In another room, David looked at Shi Xiang and said, You are nice to Yan Su.


    Shi Xiang was looking at his phone. Carelessly, he responded to David, So what? Are you gonna question me again for getting too close with some woman?


    David knitted his brows and said, No. I think this time, its a little different. You are treating her special. I think everybody can tell.

 Chapter 1013

    Chapter 1013


    Only then did Shi Yu raise his head and sayzily, Todays the press release for the new movie. There should be something for the news outlets to write about. How else would it make it to the headlines tomorrow?


    Is that really so? But just now in the lift


    Shi Yu suddenly put down his phone and stood up, his gaze dark. If I waited for someone from the production team, then must that mean that I like her? She was walking over, and if I insisted on closing the door, what would other people think? They would assume that I was looking down on a newly-debuted singer.


    David Han was a little unhappy about being stared at. She is a newly-debuted singer, she cantpare to you at all. There is no need for you to lower yourself.


    If you continue to be like this, I can rece you.


    Shi Yu said impatiently, Its because of you that I had a conflict with Xu Luosang in Shanghai. Everyone thinks that I throw my weight around and that its difficult to be with. Even Mo Liuxi sees me as an eyesore. Did you know that Mo Liuxi is a shareholder of Luoxi Films and that his brother-inw is Nian Junting? Because of that incident, Ive had to apologize over and over again since entering the production team. I am popr now, but Im also just an idol who only knows how to throw my weight around. Is it wrong that Im trying to change for the better?


    David Hans face turned ugly. Isnt the main reason you want to change me that you want to break the contract with thepany? You are unhappy with thepanys arrangements and came over to shoot Director Lis movie. You insisted on bing some ability-based artist and set up a workshop in the maind. You even took on some private events behind my back. Did you think that I didnt know?


    What if I break the contract? After all these years, how much have I earned for yourpany? And how much have they given me in return? Shi Yu asked coldly.


    David Han was incredibly mad. Back then, when you signed the contract in ck and white, why didnt you say anything? When you managed to hook onto our young mistress, why didnt you say anything?


    Shi Yu stood up and looked at him, his gaze cold. Thats right. When your young mistress came to find me, she told me that I could either be with her, or she would never let me make it. Did I even have another choice?


    Alright, youve finally said what you really think. David Han nodded. Shi Yu, dont think that youre in a stable ce now. Its not easy to dissolve a contract. You have to prepare a huge sum ofpensation. Also consider, if people find out about how you got here, do you really think that you will be as well-received as you are now?


    Then dont me me for publishing the naked photos of your young mistress in bed. A cruel chill settled onto Shi Yus handsome face.


    David Han stared at him intensely.


    Go. Shi Yu narrowed his eyes. I dont need you anymore.


    You have guts. David Han nodded and turned around to leave.


    The sound of the door being mmed reverberated in his ears.


    Shi Yu balled up his fists tightly. Only God knew how long he had waited for this day.


    He had intended to bear with it for a bit longer, but he couldnt take it anymore.


    By the time Yan Su finished all the interviews, it was already two oclock in the afternoon. She changed into another outfit and rested for a while. She still had dinner with the production team to go to that night.


    She only had her eyes closed for ten minutes when the doorbell rang.


    Jiaojiao went to open the door. When she saw the man standing there, she was stunned. Mr. Shi


    Yan Su was in bed but had notpletely fallen asleep. When she heard those two words, her heart skipped a beat.


    She never thought that Shi Yu woulde over so tantly. He had always been very careful in the past.

 Chapter 1014

    Chapter 1014


    Is Miss Yan in the room? I need to talk to her, said Shi Xiang straightforwardly.


    Is this about your MV? I heard that youre nning to release a new album this year Jiaojiao reacted quickly.


    No. Shi Xiang interrupted her.


    Yan Su worried that he might tell Jiaojiao about their rtionship, so she hurriedly walked out and said, Let him in. She didnt even have time to put on shoes.


    Oh, okay. Jiaojiao was confused. She wondered if they knew each other, but she never heard about it.


    I want to talk to Miss Yan in private. Shi Xu made another request.


    Jiaojiao didnt know what to do.


    Yan Su put a hand on her forehead and said, Jiaojiao, please wait for me outside.


    All right. Jiaojiao walked out of the room with confusion. She didnt dare go far but stayed by the door. Yan Su was in the room alone with Shi Xiang, and that made her a little worried.


    The door mmed shut.


    Yan Sus heart raced. She was never so nervous to face Shi Xiang. But still, she forced herself to calm down, and said to him, Shi Xiang, I think Ive made it clear to you. Let bygones be bygones. Donte to me again.


    Shi Xiang slowly walked to her. His pretty face wore deep bitterness. Who have I been working so hard for? How can our rtionship end just because you said so? Su, we are not like the others. I understand that you have been through a lot of difficult situations and lonely times these years, but none of that will happen again. I have decided to end my contract with the Koreanpany. We can openly be together after I finish this film.


    Yan Su paused briefly, then soon figured it out. Why wait until you finish the film? Youre gonna make our rtionship a topic, so you can win attention for the film, right?


    This film already has enough attention. I dont need to do that. I just need to fight a legal battle with the Koreanpany. I dont want you to get involved. Shi Xiang walked up to her, and looked at her affectionately and said, Su, do you know how excited I was to see you in this circle? Ive been waiting for this day, for too long. I love you. That never changed. I never had another woman in my heart. If you dont believe me, we can get married tomorrow, then you can bring me home to your parents. Let them know that you didnt choose wrong.


    Yan Su raised her head to look at the pretty man in front of her. She was in a daze for a moment. Many times, I fantasized you saying those words to me. But Shi Xiang, I wanted you as a clean, decent man. You are no longer the boy I knew.


    Is this because of what Xu Luosang said to you? Do you believe her? Shi Xiang said with disbelief.


    Do I have to say it out loud? Yan Sus nails sank into her palms when she started talking. People are talking about you, Shi Xiang. You are with the rich girl who owns yourpany. Thats why thepany puts so many resources on you. Thats why you achieved whatever you have today.


    She looked at him sadly and continued, I really wished that our rtionship ended in that phone call, and that youd nevere to me, so I wouldnt be saying this to you, face to face. All these years youve been having the best resources. You even managed to get into this film crew so easily. Shi Xiang, I didnt know as much as I do now before I became a part of this circle. But now, I hear a lot of things.


    Shi Xus expression changed slightly. Many people are ndering me. They are jealous of me. They are making up lies. Is the trust between us so fragile?


    Yeah. Even my friend nders you. The whole world is ndering you. Hearing him try to exin, Yan Su was more and more disappointed. Why did you be like this? You did it, yet you dont even dare to admit what youve done.

 Chapter 1015

    Chapter 1015


    Shi Yus temple throbbed.


    Yan Sus throat was also choked up. Shi Yu, if you tell me honestly, I might look at you with less disgust. Im not stupid. During the long time that we were dating, you were careful to the extreme. Which celebrity is as careful as you are? I am also a celebrity now, but Im not like you. This is because you got together with their young mistress and the people around you are watching you, right?


    Dont say anymore. Shi Yu suddenly interrupted him, his face pale and tired.


    Yan Su looked at him quietly.


    Shi Yu tightened his fist. After what seemed like countless internal struggles, he lowered his head like a child whod made a mistake. Im sorry, Susu, I thought that you would never find out.


    Yan Sus eyes instantly rimmed red.


    She turned around and hugged herself. Despite the heater running in the room, it suddenly felt extremely cold. Is bing famous really that important to you? You can even give up on your baseline.


    Shi Yu looked at her and was extremely anguished. I dont want that, but I want to be with you. Susu, you came from such a good family, and when I wanted to be with you, your parents objected to it. Your dad even came to see me personally. He said that my familys condition was too poor, that our statuses dont match, he wouldnt ept me. He also said that he looked down on musicians like me the most. He said that were good-for-nothings. He told me to leave you sooner and not hinder your future.


    Shi Yu paused for a moment, then said, But you gave up everything and left to follow me. You even stopped talking to your parents. I feel very guilty in my heart, so I swore to make something out of myself to bring you back. I want to tell your parents that I am good enough for you, that I am capable of taking care of you.


    Yan Su was surprised. My dad went to see you?


    Shi Yu nodded. After the university entrance exams, your dad came to see me. I got into a top-ranked university, but your dad didnt care. Your entire family is highly educated, your parents are artists. My parents are just small business owners. They work themselves to the bone all year and still earn less than what your parents do in a day. He made me realize the true difference between the rich and the poor. Thats why, Susu, I can only be good enough for you if I am popr. Only then can I make your family agree to let us be together.


    Yan Su was stunned. She really hadnt known that all these things had happened.


    Shi Yu had his pride, she knew that. She could imagine how heavy a blow her fathers words had been to him.


    Shi Yu continued to say in a low voice, When I went to Korea, I had no prominent background or social standing. No matter how hard I worked, even if I practiced dancing until my joints gave out, until I pulled my all muscles, until my voice was gone, and worked harder than everyone else by ten times, by a hundred times, people still didnt spare a nce for me. Every time you called me, I always said that Id been well, that Id beenplimented, that thepany was giving me a lot of attention. Those were all lies. I even had times when I was so broke that I ate only one meal every three days. I was broke, Susu


    Yan Su cried. Her ckshes were wet from her tears.


    She still remembered some of those things. Back then, she had felt relieved.


    Shi Yus voice also became hoarse. He choked up a little and said, Only then mypanys young mistress took a liking to me. She told me that either I could leave quietly or get together with her. You had so many expectations for me back home and you were working so hard, how could Ie back empty-handed? So


    So, you slept with her. Yan Su finished his sentence with regret and sadness.


    But I never thought about a future with her. She cant affect me anymore. Shi Yu ced his hands on Yan Sus shoulders. Susu, please forgive me. It wasnt easy for us to reach where we are today.

 Chapter 1016

    Chapter 1016


    Forgive? Yan Su felt lost.


    She raised her head, and with misty eyes, she tried to see that familiar face of his more clearly. She tried to touch him, but once her fingers moved, her mind pictured him rolling on a bed with another woman.


    She had lost her virginity too.


    Once, they were both young. They carefully promised each other the best of themselves, yet that was long gone.


    A whileter, she nodded. Okay, Shi Xiang, I forgive you.


    Shi Xiang smiled excitedly. However, what she said next, froze his smile.


    But we cant be together anymore. Yan Su pulled his hands off her shoulders and said, Imagine, if one day I slept with another man to obtain a better life, would you tolerate it?


    Shi Xiangs pupils shrank. He hurriedly shook his head and said, You wouldnt do that. Su, your family is rich, and youre proud. Youd never do something like that.


    Yeah, my family is never short of money, but in order to be with you, I gave up everything. In my earlier college years, I sang in a bar for money, but I was happy. Some people offered me things to sleep with them, but I rejected them without hesitation. Id rather exhaust myself with work every day. I wouldnt be able to start my career as a singer if I wasnt so lucky. I wouldnt give up on my bottom line, even if I couldnt be a singer. I dont care if Im popr or not, because I can always do another job. The entertainment industry was never my only choice.


    Yan Su said sadly, Im sorry, Shi Xiang. We have chosen two different paths long ago. We are not meant to be together. Im d that you told me the truth eventually. It helped me realize Im not entirely a failure. You can leave now. I wish you a bright future and Im sure youll find a better girl than me.


    No! Shi Xiang panicked. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tight.


    Su, dont be so sure. Give me a chance.


    After saying that, he lowered his head to kiss her.


    Thinking about him and another woman, Yan Su couldnt help but dodge his kiss. Shi Xiang, Im gonna scream if you dont stop. My assistant is outside, and therere reporters downstairs. Letting people know about this will do you no good.


    Shi Xiang froze.


    Yan Su pushed him away and said, Leave.


    Shi Xiang didnt move but stared at her with red eyes.


    Behind the door, Jiaojiao was getting anxious. Shi Xiang had been in the room for quite a while. She didnt know what the two of them were talking about.


    Her brain was working nonstop at that moment. She recalled Yan Sus strange reaction that urred every time she heard Shi Xiangs name. She figured they might know each other.


    They werent together, were they? The idea made Jiaojiao excited. If it became news, the entire entertainment circle would be stirred. It would be shocking.


    At that moment, Mo Liuxi walked over from the other side of the hall, with one hand resting in his trousers. He made the hallway look like a fashion runway.


    Looking at him, Jiaojiao was dazed.


    Why are you standing here? Mo Liuxi asked as he walked up to her.


    Oh, Im waiting for someone. Some reporters areing to interview Su, and I think they might not know her room number. While speaking, Jiaojiao looked around. She mustnt let Mo Liuxi know that Shi Xiang was in Yan Sus room.


    Mo Liuxi crossed his arms before his chest and said with a nd tone, Just tell them the room number. You dont have to wait here, do you?

 Chapter 1017

    Chapter 1017


    Thats true. Jiaojiao stretched outzily. Since were out here anyway, lets wait a little longer.


    Mo Liuxi was silent now. He was staring at her.


    As a director, he thought that her acting was terrible.


    Jiaojiao wanted to cry. She didnt know what else to do.


    Suddenly, the door opened and Shi Xiang walked out. His handsome face was stained by a smudge of pink on his cheek. Mo Liuxi was stunned when he saw him.


    Mo Liuxi could clearly see the stain for himself.


    He remembered Yan Su wearing the same shade of lipstick earlier that day.


    What were they doing? How did her lipstick end up on his cheek?


    It was apparent to him.


    His hands were twisted into fists within his pockets.


    Jiaojiao could see it and she shuddered. She wanted to say something to him, but she didnt know what to say since Mo Liuxi was right beside her.


    Shi Xiang was not in the mood to make small talk either. He gave Mo Liuxi a polite nod before walking off.


    Jiaojiao was thinking about the lipstick smudge when Mo Liuxi whispered in her ear, You should go wipe it off. There are so many reporters around, it would be catastrophic if they took of a picture of him like that.


    Jiaojiao sprinted after Shi Xiang immediately.


    Mo Liuxi looked at the door. It was left ajar.


    He pushed it open and walked in before closing the door behind him.


    Yan Su thought that Jiaojiao had returned already, so she quickly turned away and rubbed her eyes. Dont ask me anything, I just want to cool down by myself.


    What do you need to calm down for? a man said with a cold voice.


    Yan Su was shocked. When she turned, it was Mo Liuxi standing behind her. His handsome face looked sickly and his expression was stern.


    Why didnt you knock? She was having a headache. She had just sent away the previous man, after all. She just wanted some time alone to calm down.


    She wondered if he bumped into Shi Xiang when hed left the room earlier.


    Mo Liuxi didnt reply to her. He was busy inspecting her from head to toe. Her eyes were teary and streaks of tears could be seen on her face.


    Her lips were painted the same shade as the stain on Shi Xiangs face.


    Shed had intimate contact with Shi Xiang.


    Mo Liuxi felt a fire burning inside him when he thought about that. He felt hurt and his heart ached.


    At the press event, hed caught Shi Xiang staring at Yan Su several times. Hed obviously been paying her special attention when hed asked her to join the game. He had also been taking care of her in the elevator.


    He thought that Shi Xiang might have a crush on Yan Su. Either that or he was just making use of her for media attention.


    It seemed like he waspletely wrong.


    He hadnt been in a rush to court her in the beginning.


    Slow and steady wins the race. He was prepared to chase her slowly.


    But he might have been too slow.


    What if she ended up with another man?


    Mo Liuxi couldnt imagine the consequences. He might lose his reasoning and do something unimaginable.


    What is your rtionship with Shi Xiang? Mo Liuxi was drawing closer to her now, his eyes clouded with rage. Yan Su was scared. He had seen Shi Xiang walk out of the room then.


    Although he was younger than her, he was tall and exuded a menacing vibe.


    He and I we dont have anything to do with one another. He was just here to talk to me about the MV. Yan Su averted her gaze.

 Chapter 1018

    Chapter 1018


    Youre lying. Mo Liuxi gripped her wrist, pulled her to himself, and looked at her aggressively. Your face is covered in tears. You cried, for another man.


    His tight grip caused Yan Su pain. She felt annoyed. Even if I did cry for another man, it has nothing to do with you.


    Her words pierced into Mo Liuxis heart like a sharp sword. He never felt so angry and restless in his whole life. He made her snacks every night, yet she said it had nothing to do with him. Did she think that Shi Xiang was better than him? Or, was he never as important as Shi Xiang to her?


    Okay, since you said it has nothing to do with me, today, Im gonna make your business mine, Mo Liuxi said with a frosty voice. He lifted her and threw her onto the bed. Before Yan Su could react, Mo Liuxiid his tall and strong body upon her.


    Mo Liuxi, dont make me hate you. Yan Su pressed both hands against her chest.


    She was already very upset as she had made everything clear with Shi Xiang, and she had learned the true reason why she had to break up with him. Now, Mo Liuxi was bullying her again. Somehow, that sadness exploded in her heart, and the tears gushed out of her eyes uncontrobly.


    Why are you crying? I havent done anything yet. Mo Liuxi had seen many women cry in front of him. 90 percent of the women that he turned down had cried. Therefore, womens tears could barely affect him.


    But this time, seeing Yan Su cry made him feel panic and helpless; it was the first time.


    You are bullying me! You all bully me! Yan Su cried louder and louder, not only for her lost love, but also for herself.


    Mo Liuxi paused for a few seconds, then his pretty face grew cold again.


    Did Shi Xiang try to hurt you just now? What did he do? That bastard! Im gonna kill him!


    He quickly got up from the bed.


    Yan Su hurriedly pulled his coat and said, He didnt.


    He didnt? I saw your lipstick on his face. Did he try to kiss you? said Mo Liuxi angrily. Im telling you, only I can kiss your lips.


    Yan Su never thought hed notice the lipstick on Shi Xiangs face. She hadnt even noticed it. She was too sad.


    Hearing Mo Liuxis bossy tone, her pale face reddened, and her heart leaped a little.


    He he didnt kiss me. I fought back. My lips brushed across his face. Its not what you think. Yan Su dropped her head and murmured.


    So he did try to kiss you. Mo Liuxi nodded. He sounded calm, yet a tsunami seemed to be breeding underneath his voice. What a monster. I like you, but I never thought about kissing you against your will. Does he think that he can do whatever he wants because hes a superstar now? Does he believe that no one in the world can bring him down?


    Its not like that. Yan Su worried that Mo Liuxi might make it big news, so she tried to exin. We


    You are not allowed to say that about you and him. Nothing is going on between you two, said Mo Liuxi bossily and determinedly. You have nothing to do with each other anymore, not even if hes your ex-boyfriend.


    You guessed that? Yan Su was surprised. I had hoped no one would have guessed. Her tone of speaking let Mo Liuxi knew that he was right. A stream of bitterness burst in his heart. He was in your room, while Jiaojiao was guarding the door, and you cried. There was definitely a story between you two.

 Chapter 1019

    Chapter 1019


    Yan Su frowned.


    She looked a little sad.


    She should have expected him to find out, given how smart he was. He could have easily figured it out but just piecing together the information he already knew. Hed probably already guessed that her ex-boyfriend was from the entertainment industry.


    Liuxi, dont tell other people, she said after a long while.


    Why? Are you still trying to protect him? Mo Liuxi could tell that she was upset.


    He felt extremely ufortable.


    And jealous of Shi Xiang.


    He had never been jealous of anyone before, but he was jealous that Shi Xiang had once had all of Yan Sus love and attention.


    Yan Su, Shi Xiang has someone supporting him. He probably found a sugar mummy


    Stop. Yan Su interrupted him, agitated. She sounded harsh and emotional.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. He was indignant and disappointed. Youre raising your voice at me over a man that cheated on you.


    No Yan Su bit her lips. She knew she was being too harsh. I just didnt want to hear all those things. Liuxi, this is my past rtionship. I devoted myself to it once. Besides, Ive already made things clear to him. We dont owe each other anything anymore. Its all in the past.


    Is it really over? Mo Liuxi suddenly pushed her onto the bed. He brushed his fingers lightly across her cheek. She had makeup on and her tear streaks were visible. Why are you crying then? Cant you bear to let him go?


    Am I not allowed to grieve the loss of my rtionship? Forget it, you wont understand anyway, youve never been in love. Yan Su was a little flustered when he touched her face.


    Being crushed underneath him on the bed, she was in a precarious position.


    Yan Su tried to get up but he pushed her down again. She was annoyed. Mo Liuxi, what are you doing?


    Ive never been in love before, but I love you now. Im jealous of Shi Xiang. Im jealous that youre crying over him.


    Mo Liuxi didnt try to conceal his emotions at all. I like you, Yan Su. I dont want you to cry over anyone else in the future. You shouldnt be in a room alone with Shi Xiang. I wasnt a part of your past, but I want to be part of your future. Your tears belong to me now. Everything belongs to me.


    He was being bossy and forceful, his eyebrows crossed in determination.


    Yan Sus head was buzzing. When she regained her senses, she was blushing. What crazy talk is this? Get up.


    Mo Liuxi sighed and lowered his handsome face to press his lips against hers.


    It was so different from that time in the grass field.


    His kiss was full of purpose and intensity.


    Yan Sus brain went nk.


    So much had happened that day.


    Shed managed to dodge Shi Xiangs kiss but she couldnt dodge Mo Liuxi.


    Especially in this position.


    She was on the bed and he was on top of her, restraining her. She had nowhere to hide.


    His kisses were like a storm. He was kissing her hard and a little clumsily. Soon, he found his bearing and he entered her mouth, his tongue dancing with hers. He was like a bandit in the middle of the night, robbing her of her senses.


    Yan Su was out of breath. She felt like a small boat barely trying to keep its bnce on the rocky waves. As her mind drifted to the night theyd spent in the hotel, her breathing quickened and her heart thumped.

 Chapter 1020

    Chapter 1020


    Her body became softer and softer. Mo Liuxi couldnt help but kiss her harder until someone knocked on the door.


    Yan Su gave a start. She turned her face with an effort to avoid his kiss. Jiaojiao It must be Jiaojiao Her lips trembled intensely, as she couldnt control it.


    Let her stay out there quietly. Mo Liuxi turned on the bed, making Yan Su lie on him. Yan Su automatically raised her head, but before she could say anything, Mo Liuxis hand pressed on the back of her head, bringing her lips to his.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and her face blushed scarlet.


    Mo Liuxi looked straight at her. His dark, bright eyes shone with a dazzling light; his thick and beautiful eyshes gently pped before her eyes. Yan Su fell into a daze. Before she came back to her senses, his tongue entangled with hers.


    Yan Su felt like her head was swelling and that his scent invaded her body through her every single pore, devouring and upying her crazily. Unwittingly, her body became softer. Shey on his chest, pressing her body against his.


    She had changed into a dress for the press conference and after-party. It was a thin dress, exposing a small part of her back, making her look very sexy. Mo Liuxis handnded on her back. Her milk-smooth skin made him feel thirsty, as if his entire body was on fire. He wanted to tear her dress into pieces.


    But it wasnt the time yet.


    He suddenly pushed her away, then sat up, gasping for air. Yan Su was stunned. Her pretty eyes were unfocused for a few seconds before she came back to herself. Realizing what had just happened, she bit her burning lip. Her lip seemed not to belong to her anymore. It was numb, full of the scent from his mouth.


    Immediately, her face turned red.


    She couldnt believe he had just seduced her, and she hadnt even been able to resist. She looked at Mo Liuxis face. His lips were toned from her red lipstick. It should have looked ridiculous, yet his red lips only made his pretty face more attractive.


    She took a light breath.


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head and wiped his lips with his fingers. Seeing the lipstick on his fingers, he tittered with a deep voice and said, Ive told you that I want your lipstick all over my mouth. It smells nice.


    Yan Su blushed again.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her and smiled. And its so sweet.


    I mean your lips, not your lipstick, he added.


    Yan Su wanted a ce to hide at that moment. She felt so embarrassed. Just leave. She was worried that she might go crazy if he stayed in her room.


    Mo Liuxi didnt leave but moved closer to her. Yan Su was afraid that he might try to kiss her again, so she stood up to run away. Mo Liuxi grabbed her wrist and pulled her slightly backward. As a result, she fell onto hisp. He immediately put his arms around her body.


    Did you throw yourself on me so I can kiss you again? Seeing her snow-white earlobe shaking before his eyes, Mo Liuxi bit it gently, without thinking.


    Yan Sus body instantly went numb. His tempting voice made her feel as if her heart was trembling.


    Who said a man couldnt be flirtatious? She was with a flirtatious man now.

 Chapter 1021

    Chapter 1021


    About intimacies.


    Yan Su had never been a sexual person. She usually maintained a clear and innocent mind.


    She hadnt expected to meet a male vixen in herst year of university.


    She felt like the express train that she was on had suddenly steered onto tracks unknown to her.


    She was worried that her train might derail.


    She tried hard to keep herself sober. She didnt want to lose her senses.


    You grabbed me first. Yan Su tried hard to stand up but he was too strong. She turned away sourly so that he couldnt kiss her ears anymore. Her nose was now right beneath his lips.


    Be good. Mo Liuxi kissed her nose and bent down to kiss her lips again. Remember, this is only for me. No one else is allowed to kiss you.


    She should have found it repulsive since they werent in a special rtionship, but his words were pleasing to her ears. They resonated in her heart.


    His gaze was seductive and his kiss was gentle and tender now. He didnt smell like a grown, manly-man, he smelled fresh.


    Yan Su couldnt help but falter despite steeling her own heart just moments before. Her body was warming up again.


    Perhaps it was because she had given him her first time that her body had natural reactions to him.


    It didnt listen to her.


    After another long, tender kiss, Mo Liuxi let her go reluctantly and said with a raspy voice, Dont you dare hide from me again, Yan Su. Listen up, from today on, I am entering your world by force. I want to dote on you, love you, and give you the best in the world. I will soothe all the hurt that Shi Xiang had inflicted on you. If you cant forget him, Im Im willing to be a substitute. One day, you will find out how great I am.


    Mo Liuxi Yan Su was stunned. She would never have expected someone as proud and arrogant as him to say something like that.


    How could he be someone elses substitute?


    He waspletely different from Shi Xiang.


    Promise me that you wont let him into your room again. And please dont cry for him again. Mo Liuxi nted a soft kiss on the corner of her eye and slowly released her from his embrace.


    She was trembling and she avoided eye contact with him.


    They werent in a rtionship but he had just kissed her senseless.


    She was incredibly confused.


    Shed been sad about Shi Xiang until Mo Liuxi had barged into her room, making her blood boil with passion.


    Im going. See you tonight. Dont forget what I told you Mo Liuxi whispered in her ear seductively, You look gorgeous in that little ck dress.


    Hisst sentence sent her mind running wild, tugging at her heart.


    Yan Su looked up at him, their eyes meeting. He grinned cheekily. Even his eyes were smiling at her.


    Her heart skipped a beat.


    Mo Liuxi took a piece of tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth forcefully before opening the door.


    Jiaojiao was stunned to see him.


    When she came back, Mo Liuxi was already gone. She had thought that hed left and Yan Su would still be feeling miserable by herself in the room.


    She was just about to call someone from the hotel to open the door when Mo Liuxi walked out. She was about to have another headache.

 Chapter 1022

    Chapter 1022


    Jiaojiao took some time to find her voice. You youre here. Why didnt you guys answer the door


    Oh, we were kissing. We didnt want to be interrupted, said Mo Liuxi in a rxed tone, as if he was talking about the weather.


    Jiaojiao was shocked. Who on earth would say that?


    She buried her head in her arms. She was only an assistant who didnt need that kind of information in her work-life. Shi Xiang had left the room with a lipstick mark on his face. Once Yan Su dealt with that, another pretty boy emerged from her room, and this one told her they were kissing.


    She looked carefully and found a hint of Yan Sus lipstick on his lips. He had wiped them, yet some traces could still be seen


    Did Yan Su have a group of boyfriends?


    Mr. Mo, when did you Jiaojiao managed to calm herself down, then asked, Arent you guys just neighbors?


    Of course not. Dont you know that neighbors can easily fall in love with each other? Mo Liuxi smiled, making himself sound very reasonable.


    Then Shi Xiang Mo Liuxis face became cold even before Jiaojiao could finish her words.


    He made a step toward Jiaojiao and said, Keep an eye on him. Dont let him get anywhere near her.


    Jiaojiao didnt know what to say. Why would she do that for him? She didnt work for him. Who on earth did he think he was? How ridiculous.


    Mr. Mo Su just started her career. Its not a good time for her to start a rtionship. Mypany has told her so


    Yourpany didnt forbid her to do that, did they? Besides, who am I? said Mo Liuxi ndly. I own a filmpany, and Im a young director who has a bright future. Ill always support her. Will yourpany fire her for being with me? It would be fine if that happened because Ill help her. I have money and resources. As for you, as an assistant, following her everywhere will not do you any harm.


    Jiaojiao was deeply convinced.


    The most resourceful people in the entertainment industry were directors and filmpany owners. He was both. He grew up in Europe, so he had great international resources too.


    And Shi Xiang Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile, and said, He is going to end his contract with his Koreanpany soon. He has a lot of fans in the country, but is his background as good as mine? Is he as handsome, tall and young as I am? Does he have my capabilities?


    Jiaojiaos lips twitched slightly. She didnt know what to say. She wasnt sure about theparison but was pretty sure that Shi Xiang would be not as thick-skinned as he was. As for age, he was even younger than Yan Su, so that didnt count.


    However, some of Mo Liuxis words did make sense. Jiaojiao had heard that Yan Su had the best resources because Nian Junting had talked to the owner of thepany. Nian Junting was Mo Liuxis brother-inw, so Jiaojiao did not dare to displease Mo Liuxi.


    So give me your WeChat number. Mo Liuxi took out his phone and said, Ill contact you if I cant reach Su. Also, let me know if anyone mistreats her, or if shes in a bad mood.


    Why would I give you my number? Jiaojiao didnt think it was necessary.


    Because I like her. I need the numbers of the people surrounding her, so Ill know where to find her if she disappears someday, Mo Liuxi said seriously.

 Chapter 1023

    Chapter 1023


    Jiaojiao was stunned.


    She had expected him to be bossy and rude but then he suddenly burst out with such sincerity and sweetness.


    She was touched by his words.


    She fished out her handphone and added Mo Liuxi on WeChat.


    Thanks. Mo Liuxi kept his phone and walked off, pleased with himself.


    After Jiaojiao returned from her daze, she shut the door forcefully. If word got out about what happened today, it would make headlines.


    She walked in and saw Yan Su was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, her head in herp.


    Su, youre not he didnt do anything overboard to you right? she asked with trepidation.


    She sniffed the air in the room. Thank goodness there wasnt a weird smell.


    Yan Su was shocked as she looked up. Her lipstick was gone but her lips were still plump and raw. Her hair was messy and her eyes were red and watery.


    She looked like she had been through a lot.


    Su were you kissed by Shi Xiang or Mo Liuxi? Jiaojiao was feeling very anxious and a little envious. She didnt know if Yan Su was lucky or unlucky to be kissed by two handsome men, one after another.


    Yan Su felt awkward, only managing to say, You gave Mo Liuxi your WeChat ount?


    I couldnt refuse him. Jiaojiao shrugged. I have no idea what your rtionship is with him. Are you two dating?


    Nope, Yan Su said, denying it quickly.


    What about Shi Xiang? Jiaojiao asked carefully. Are you two-timing them? I can understand that. They are both so handsome, each in their own way. Well, I still think its a risky move.


    Did she have the balls to two time them? Even if she did, she didnt have the heart to do that.


    Su, lets talk about Shi Xiang first. As your assistant, you need to tell me the truth. Jiaojiao squatted down in front of her. If anything happens one day, I need to be mentally prepared. Mr. Mo analyzed things just now. I am your girl. Compared to Sister Xiang, I should listen to you more.


    Yan Su found it amusing. Are you telling me that youre going to stage a mutiny after talking to Mo Liuxi?


    Comparing Shi Xiang to Mr. Mo, I think Mr. Mo is more suitable for you/ Jiaojiao went on saying, First of all, he is good-looking. Secondly, hees from a good family background. If you marry him in the future, you can look for Miss Xu for help whenever youre bullied. With him by your side, your future will be limitless. You would be a big shot in this industry. Most importantly, I think he is serious about you. He added me on WeChat because he was worried about you. Shi Xiang didnt. When I chased after him, he couldnt even be bothered to talk to me.


    Yan Su looked perplexed. She could tell that Mo Liuxi treated her well. It was obvious that he did much more for her than Shi Xiang.


    When Yan Su went quiet, Jiaojiao said, I didnt mean to call you out for two-timing them.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say. Who said I was two-timing them? Shi Xiang was my first love. Weve dated since high school but we broke up a long time ago. I didnt expect to bump into him again. Dont tell thepany about this. I made things clear with him just now, so we wont have anything to do with each other from now on.

 Chapter 1024

    Chapter 1024


    My God! I never thought that Shi Xiang was your first love. I am so shocked. Jiaojiao covered her mouth excitedly. You rejected him, didnt you?


    Yan Su was startled by her suddenly raised voice. Not exactly. Besides, theres no future between him and me.


    Jiaojiao nodded and said, Its good that you wont be with him. Hes the perfect man in the eyes of his fans, but if you truly were with him, youd be facing a lot of pressure. Being with Mr. Mo, you wont be going through all that. Because hes behind the screen. Youll just be spoiled by him.


    Eh Why do I feel like you have been brainwashed by him? What did he say to you just now at the door? Yan Su asked. Jiaojiao had said a lot of good things about Mo Liuxi in just a short span of time.


    Jiaojiao chuckled and said, Are you gonna tell that you dont like him at all? If thats true, why would you let him kiss you so hard in the room? Your lips are swollen. Clearly, you must have enjoyed it when he kissed you


    Alright, stop Yan Su felt so embarrassed.


    She never knew that her assistant could be so talkative.


    I understand. Mr. Mo is very handsome. Jiaojiao sighed. He was standing right in front of me just now. His skin is so tender and smooth.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    That was true.


    Anyway, dont tell Miss. Xiang about what happened today. Yan Su sighed.


    Dont worry. Jiaojiao nodded. Just get some rest. Im gonna leave you alone. Also, give your lips a hotpress. Theyre still swollen.


    Yan Su hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. Howe her lips were swollen? She hadnt even realized that.


    How could she possibly fall asleep? She closed her eyes and thought about what Shi Xiang had said. Then, thoughts of Mo Liuxi upied her mind. She relived how Mo Liuxi had pressed her onto the bed and kissed her, and how shed gotten on top of him and continue that kiss. It reyed in her mind over and over again.


    Her earlobe was still burning.


    She covered her face with the quilt.


    She used to be an innocent girl. Howe her mind was so full of dirty thoughts now?


    Shed never had anything like that with Shi Xiang. They were still in high school when they were together. Her family had been strict with her when she was young. She had always been a good girl who observed the rules. The craziest thing shed ever done with Shi Xiang was sneaking some kisses with each other after school.


    Their deepest kiss had happened after shed left her family for him. Theyd stayed in the same room and shared a double bed. Theyd kissed at night, but not as passionately as Mo Liuxi had kissed her.


    Mo Liuxi looked as cold as ice, yet on the inside, he was fiery. Being with him could easily set her on fire.


    I was really innocent back then, she said to herself.


    At half-past five, the makeup artist came in to refine Yan Sus makeup. Her lips were still swollen, so the makeup artist put a vividly red color on them, making them look full and juicy.


    She met Ji Nuanyi in the elevator.


    Yan Su didnt know Ji Nuanyi well, but shed heard from Luosang that she was a nice person. Therefore, she took the initiative to talk to her.


    Miss. Ji, how was your conversation with Director Mo about your character?


    Ji Nuanyi responded through clenched teeth, I dont even want to mention it. That boy came to my room and stayed for about ten minutes. I thought it would be a deep conversation, so I even canceled my ns for this afternoon.


    Yan Su showed a surprised look.


    Ji Nuanyi exined, I was going to attend an opening ceremony for a luxury brand this afternoon.

 Chapter 1025

    Chapter 1025


    Miss Ji is already very rich. Why do you still have to work so hard? Yan Su smiled. They only had a short amount of time that afternoon and most of the group was resting in their own rooms.


    Ji Nuanyi smiled. Theres never too much money to be had. I love watching my fortune grow in my bank ount. I like to count my money from time to time.


    Alright, she hadnt expected a gorgeous superstar like her to be so obsessed with money. She also hadnt expected her to be so forthright about it, yet she didnt find it off-putting. She thought that she was very straightforward and cute.


    I was quite poor when I was a kid. Now, I have a habit of making money, Ji Nuanyi exined.


    Yan Su nodded her head. Its a good habit.


    I think so.


    To be frank, Yan Su didnt understand that kind of feeling. She had always been privileged while growing up. That was the reason she didnt understand Shi Xiang.


    But is money really that important? Yan Su couldnt help but ask. There are many people out there who act unscrupulously to earn money


    I think that money is very important, but I dont agree with people who go to extreme extents to get it. I dont approve of people who break thew, sell their friends out, or sell themselves out for money. I like earning money through my own hard work; every hard-earned cent gives me satisfaction. Im also happy spending my own money, Ji Nuanyi said, smiling.


    Yan Su was stunned. She remembered Luosang calling Ji Nuanyi a workaholic.


    It wasnt so much of ack of affinity. They had been brought up under different circumstances which led to them having different perspectives.


    Ji Nuanyi was someone who had been poor and chose to stand by their values.


    Shi Xiang was someone who had been poor but chose to give up his values.


    She felt liberated in an instance.


    Miss Ji, thank you so much. It has been gratifying having this conversation with you. Yan Su smiled at her.


    Ji Nuanyi was lost. Um you shouldnt be a money-grubber like me.


    They walked into the banquet hall together as Mo Liuxi walked over to meet them. What are you two chatting about?


    Ji Nuanyi gave him a side nce and grunted before walking away without saying a word. She looked upset with him.


    What did I do to her? Mo Liuxi looked over to Yan Su.


    Yan Su didnt know if she was imagining things, but she felt like Mo Liuxi was looking at her intently. She suddenly didnt know what to do with herself and blushed. She stammered, You have some cheek to ask. You asked her toe discuss her role but you wasted ten whole minutes of her time. She had other things to attend to as well, and you messed up her schedule.


    Oh really?


    Mo Liuxi nodded before continuing. My bad, I just thought that Shi Xiang was standing too close to you in the lift. I needed an excuse to squeeze in so I started that conversation with her. I wouldnt be interested in talking to women otherwise. You know how Im like Im quite the jealous type.


    She didnt know how he was like. She didnt know at all.


    She was already blushing. She just wanted him to quit staring at her so intently.


    Jiaojiao, who was standing beside her, wished that she could disappear.


    She was still standing there. Did they have to be so cheesy in front of her? They were in the banquet hall, after all, surrounded by people.


    Mr. Mo, cant you just hold yourself back and quit staring?


    Arent you embarrassed by saying all that stuff about being jealous? Do you want an honorary award for that? Jiaojiao thought to herself.

 Chapter 1026

    Chapter 1026


    After spending a few seconds under his gaze, Yan Su decided to find an excuse to leave. However, right at that moment, Shi Xiang walked over.


    Su, do you two know each other? he asked.


    Yan Su felt that she might go crazy.


    Still, she needed to act politely. Yeah, we are She nodded, trying to exin.


    Yeah, were neighbors, Mo Liuxi interrupted her.


    Shi Xu paused. He almost failed to maintain the mild smile he wore on his face.


    He turned to Mo Liuxi with a meaningful look in his eyes. Thetter looked back at him. Their eye-contact alone created an unfriendly atmosphere.


    Shi Xiang recalled that hed seen Mo Liuxi at Yan Sus door that afternoon when hed left. At the time, hed thought that Mo Liuxi was only passing by. Now he realized that thetter had probably been there to see her.


    Yan Su might be slow-minded sometimes, but at that very moment, she clearly sensed the weird atmosphere between the two of them.


    Its because Luosang used to live near me. Liuxi lives in my next-door now. He wanted to live close to his sister, she hurriedly said.


    The look on Shi Xiangs face turned slightly for the better, yet Mo Liuxi pulled a long face.


    Sensing the tense atmosphere, Jiaojiao joined the conversation, Su, lets sit over there. Mr. Ye is there too.


    Okay. Lets go, Yan Su hurriedly left, even though the two men might start a war.


    Looking at her back, Shi Xiang folded his arms and said to Mo Liuxi, Director Mo, I didnt know that you were so close with your sister.


    Sure. If Im not even able to handle my rtionship with my sister, what makes me different from an animal. I surely wont do anything like cheating on my girlfriend. After saying that, Mo Liuxi turned and prepared to leave.


    What did Su tell you? Shi Xiang had his expression changed slightly.


    Mo Liuxi raised his brows, turned, gave him a smile, and responded with, Su and I share everything. Let me be honest with you, a pretty and nice girl like her will always be surrounded by suitors.


    Do you like her? Shi Xiang didnt expect to hear Mo Liuxi say that out loud. He felt jealous. Mo Liuxi held much better cards than he did.


    He never doubted Yan Sus charm. After all, a lot of boys pursued her back in high school.


    I heard that youre only twenty years old. Is that true, Director Mo? Youre younger than Su. You can be her little brother, Shi Xiang smiled and said, I know that many boys have motherplex. Su is a nice and gentle person, but please, you cant mix that with what were talking about here.


    Youre right. I like her because shes older than me, and she can take care of me. For example, she makes congee for me every day, Mo Liuxi curved his lips in a delightful smile, said, She made all kinds of congee for me. Pork congee for today, seafood congee for tomorrow, fish congee for the day after that. Have you, her ex-boyfriend, tasted her congee?


    Shi Xiang stared at him, fist clenched under the table.


    He, of course, never tasted her congee. He didnt even know that she can cook.


    Su is a kind person. She made congee for you, but I guess its because you are her friends brother. Dont misunderstand her kindness, and dont be foolishly sentimental, Shi Xiang said, agitatedly.


    Perhaps. But her lips are so tasty, Mo Liuxi tittered.


    Shi Xiang shivered; the fire of anger burned in his eyes.


    His assistant hurriedly held his arm.


    Li Ming had been paying attention to him and Mo Liuxi since long ago, as he had felt the strange atmosphere too. At that moment, he hurriedly came over and said to Mo Liuxi, Liuxi, why are you still standing here? All the directors are supposed to sit over there.


    See you, Mr. Shi. I hope that well work well together, Mo Liuxi waved at Shi Xiang with a grin.

 Chapter 1027

    Chapter 1027


    Li Ming looked at his grinning face. He looked like he had just won the battle. He was nearly speechless. You just caused him some trouble this afternoon. Do you really have to seek trouble whenever you meet him?


    Yup. Mo Liuxi nodded his head. I feel like Ive finally met my nemesis.


    Dont worry. After today, I wont go looking for trouble as long as he stays out of my way. Mo Liuxi patted him on his shoulders.


    Yan Su returned to her seat, keeping her eyes on the two men. She heaved a sigh of relief when Mo Liuxi returned to his own seat. However, Shi Xiangs face looked aghast, and she had a bad feeling about it.


    Jiaojiao remarked, Do you get the feeling that your boys have caused some trouble? Youre having a headache right now, arent you?


    Yan Su rubbed her temples. She did have a headache. She just wanted to finish the meal and leave the ce as soon as possible.


    As the banquet started, Li Ming began speaking. Shooting would begin the following month on the 26th of December.


    Li Ming went around the banquet hall, toasting everyone. As a prominent and experienced director, he was humble and friendly.


    After hed toasted everyone, everyone at Yan Sus table began toasting each other. Soon, people walked over to Li Mings table to toast him.


    Since everyone else had walked over, Yan Su had to walk over with them, her fruit juice in hand. After what had happenedst time, shed decided toy off the alcohol.


    As ady, surrounded by all these big-shots, she was a little nervous. It was an entire table of investors and producers. She had to learn to socialize with them in order to make it big in this trade.


    Director Li, Producer He, and all the seniors, allow me to toast all of you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take part in this project, Yan Su said.


    Just as Yan Su was about to drink, a bright-faced, middle-aged man suddenly interjected. Hed clearly had a few too many drinks already. He covered her ss and said, Little girl, were all toasting with alcohol here, what are you drinking? I believe its fruit juice.


    Yan Su wasnt familiar with this man; she had never met him before. Since he was sitting at such an important table, he was likely an investor.


    He must have had too much to drink. He was staring her at slyly.


    Mo Liuxi was also sitting at the same table. He gripped his ss tightly, ring at the man.


    Yan Su was feeling awkward now. She quickly exined, Its not that Im not willing to drink, I just dont hold my alcohol well. I can get drunk on one drink and I dont want to embarrass myself.


    Its alright, I can send you home if you get too tipsy. The middle-aged man leaned over to her. He had been sitting there for an hour already and there were many stars who had alreadye forward to toast him. Everyone else in the cast was someone famous or someone more senior than Yan Su. It was rare to see someone so fresh and young. She looked pretty and cute, kind of like a university student, and he had the urge to bully her.


    In a moment of rashness, he grabbed Yan Sus wrist. Come on, have three drinks before you leave.


    Li Ming frowned. Mr. Jia, what are you doing, forcing a little girl to drink? This is not just anybody, this is Star Music and Cultures singer, Yan Su.


    Old Li, dont be a drag. Im not asking for much, Im just asking her to have some drinks with us. She came over voluntarily, I didnt force her to do anything. Dont be such a Debbie-downer, Mr. Jia saidzily.


    Li Ming didnt know what else to say.


    The other people seated at the table were looking in their direction. Nobody looked like they were going to stop him. He looked anxious and frustrated.

 Chapter 1028

    Chapter 1028


    Yan Su struggled but failed to free herself from his grip.


    Mr. Jia, I can drink a ss for you and everyone else here, please let go of me.


    Mr. Jia didnt rx his grip, but said with a fake smile, So you can drink a ss now? Didnt you say that one ss will make you drunk? Which of your words is true and which is not? I heard that some people who are very good at drinking always pretend that they get drunk easily. Youre not one of those, are you? Dont go back to your table. Stay here and drink with us.


    After he said that, many peopleughed as if they were watching a show.


    Yan Sus pretty face paled a little, also showed an embarrassed look.


    She was trying her best to smooth things out, but Mr. Jia was clearly bringing her trouble.


    She could avoid displeasing him by staying at that table, but if she did that, the others would see her as a joke.


    The people who didnt know about the whole story would think that she got her job through indecent means.


    Mr. Jia, please respect yourself. Yan Su believed that she had shown him enough respect.


    Mo Liuxi who was sitting on the other side was going to stand up and do something. He paused as he noticed the coldness in Yan Sus eyes.


    Am I not respecting myself? The smile on Mr. Jias face faded gradually, being reced by a threatening look, I invited you to drink with us. That should be an honor of yours.


    Why dont I feel the same? I think you just want a woman. Yan Su looked at him coldly, Please, pay some attention to the asion. This ce is not a brothel. This is Director Lis party.


    Director Li, are you going to let Mr. Jia do whatever he wants? If this spread, Im afraid your reputation would be harmed, right? I guess no decent actresses would dare to y parts in your movies again.


    Li Ming wore an embarrassed look.


    She was right. As a famous director who had a good reputation, he didnt expect his new film to be so messy.


    Before he said anything, Mr. Jia had pped the table and stood up angrily. Dont you think that youre better than the others because youre a musician! He yelled, I want to f*ck you, so what? You should be ttered. How dare you threaten us? Will I be afraid of a lousy musicpany? Im telling you, no one will dare to spread a word about this. And your career will end now, unless you empty this bottle.


    What he did immediately caught the eyes of the others.


    The experienced game yers figured out what was happening at first nce, then pretended not to see anything.


    In the entertainment industry, pretending not to know was a necessary skill.


    Not far away, Shi Xiang stood up with anger in his eyes.


    His assistant dragged him back onto his chair, said, Are you crazy? Do you know who that is? Thats Mr. Jia, the owner of Haiguang Films. Hes in charge of the post-production of this film, and hes also the second-big investor. Didnt you see that even Director Li is staying silent? If you displeased him, youd be kicked out of the crew. Dont forget that yourwsuit with the Koreanpany will start officially. This movie is highly important for your transformation. Dont waste the efforts that youve made all these years.


    But Shi Xiang clenched his fists.


    A mature man can wait a decade to revenge. For the worst case, Miss. Yan leaves the entertainment circle. As long as you are not affected by this, you can still be nice to her. She can stay at home, but will never be short of money, said his assistant with a low voice.


    Shi Xiang froze. While struggling, he saw Ji Nuanyi stood up from her seat and walked toward Yan Su.

 Chapter 1029

    Chapter 1029


    When she walked closer, she heard Yan Su say, Its fine if I cant stay on. Its not only the entertainment industry I can make a living in.


    Shed entered the scene because of Shi Xiang. Shed worked hard because Shi Xiang had betrayed her and she wanted to be on par with him. Shed wanted him to see how good she was and to regret what hed done.


    Now that shed finally found out about everything, she had to let bygones be bygones.


    It would be great if she could sing. But if she couldnt, she could still maintain a healthy mindset.


    She had other skills. There was no way she would starve to death.


    Mr. Jia scoffed angrily. He was more used to women trying to suck up to him. It was the first time hed met anyone like Yan Su.


    He would rather quit the entertainment industry than allow her to walk away after saying something so disrespectful. He was going to make her beg for forgiveness.


    Mr. Jia, shes a singer who just debuted, theres no need to get upset with her. Ji Nuanyi walked over with her ss of wine. Look, there are so many people watching. Come, allow me to toast you. Lets forget all about this. Today is a good day.


    Li Ming nodded. Thats right, we just announced the singer for our theme song. It would be strange to switch to someone else now.


    Dont plead for mercy on her behalf, Mr. Jia said viciously. Look at how arrogant she is. I am going to teach her a lesson today.


    He quickly pulled Yan Su into his arms.


    Someone quickly grabbed Yan Sus arm and pulled her back before kicking Mr. Jia in the chest.


    Mr. Jia was already weak from the alcohol, and the kick sent him flying into the table behind him. All the drinks and food spilled on the floor and soup drenched his back. He looked like he was in a sorry state.


    Everyone at the table was shocked, quickly standing up. The producer shouted angrily, Mo Liuxi, what are you doing?


    I thought he wanted to drink. Im just obliging. Mo Liuxi pulled on Mr. Jias cor and starting pouring a bottle of rice wine down Mr. Jias throat.


    Mr. Jias eyes went wide as he struggled against Mo Liuxi.


    Everyone else in the hall was crowding around them now, but no one dared to step forward to break them apart.


    They couldntprehend how this young man could be so harsh and vicious.


    He Jiang and another shareholder ran forward to ask Mo Liuxi to stop.


    Mr. Jia climbed to his feet slowly, his eyes red. He swung a ss bottle at Mo Liuxis head.


    Be careful! Yan Su was shocked. Mo Liuxi was being restrained by two other men. He was trapped.


    She quickly stepped forward to push him out of the way, stepping into the bottles path.


    Mo Liuxi freed his arm and pushed He Jian away, holding out his arm to shield her.


    The bottlended on his arm and shattered into pieces. Alcohol dripped everywhere. There were shards of ss in his flesh and he was bleeding freely.


    The investor holding onto his other arm was shocked.


    Yan Su covered her mouth in surprise.


    He freed himself forcefully and removed the ss from his arm. He walked over to Mr. Jia with a determined look on his face.


    His eyes were full of malicious intent and Mr. Jia was terrified, His opponent was young and tall. He was drunk and there was no way he could win against him. He shouted, Someone, block him!


    No one dared to step forward. He Jian could only manage to shout, Liuxi, you should go to the hospital right away. Let this matter go, you already beat up Mr. Jia.

 Chapter 1030

    Chapter 1030


    Let it go? Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile and said, Im bleeding. Is he bleeding? Im telling you, I have fought countless battles but never been injured. Im famous for how vengeful I am.


    After saying that, he suddenly lifted a chair and threw it at Mr. Jia and He Jian. He Jian had no choice but to shield Mr. Jia with his own body. The chairnded on his head, making him dizzy.


    Mr. Jia attempted to run, but Mo Liuxi raised another chair and bashed his back with it.


    Mr. Jia fell to the ground.


    Mo Liuxi gave him another strike, then threw away the chair, and stomped a foot on his face. He said, Arent you a big boss? Arent you strong enough to beat me? Dont you want women? Youre the kind that I despise the most. You think youre so rich that you can do anything you want. Arent you aware that you should probably call prostitutes at home when you want a woman so badly? You should find a mirror and look at yourself. Do you really think that all women in the world are your toys?


    Mo Liuxi, youll pay for this. Mr. Jia had never been humiliated like that. At that moment, he was pressed to the ground, disabled from moving.


    Alright. Would I ever be afraid of you? You own a filmpany. So do I. Mo Liuxi stomped on him again, then bent over and pulled him up from the ground. He looked like a dead dog.


    Mr. Fei, Mr. Jia yelled at the biggest investor of the film. Get him away. Im gonna rece him. Mo Liuxi, youre not in the crew anymore. Get the hell out of here, now.


    Do you think I want to be here? Director Li invited me, not you. I wouldnt even talk to you. But, since you have just fired me, I dont need to show mercy anymore, do I? Mo Liuxi gripped his cor with both hands.


    Looking at his smiling face, Mr. Jia shivered.


    Before he could say anything, Mo Liuxi picked up a bowl poured what was in it into his mouth.


    It was fish filets boiled in hot chili oil. The red chili oil poured down his throat, making him want to die. He couldnt eat spicy food.


    By the time the bowl was empty, Mr. Jia lying on the ground, vomiting, looking like a dead fish.


    The others looked at him. Nobody dared to step up to help him. Mo Liuxi was wearing a white shirt. Half of his sleeve was red. The blood on his shirt and the cold expression on his pretty face gave him a fierce vibe.


    Yan Sus legs were shaking. She had never seen Mo Liuxi like that. Hed put a famous film investor into such a miserable state in front of so many people.


    She was touched, though, knowing that she was the cause of his anger.


    Mo Liuxi, said Mr. Fei with a deep voice. Youve beaten him now. Mr. Jia is right, you wont be in the crew anymore. We cant afford to have you.


    I agree. I dont need you guys. Im rich and I can direct my own movie. Do I need to care what you people think? Mo Liuxi smiled coldly, then took out his phone. Im injured today, but this isnt over.


    What do you want? Mr. Fei frowned. You hurt Mr. Jia so badly. We didnt even ask you to pay for this. How dare you call the police?


    Why dont I dare to call the police? Someone from your crew tried to force a girl to have sex with him. I helped the poor girl and ended up being injured by you people. Why shouldnt I call the police? Do you expect me to just forget about this? Oh, I forgot, you guys are big bosses in the film industry, right? Its alright, Im a big boss, too. Luoxi Films is doing good. Five presspanies are working for us. Ill let them write some good articles about this. Theres not much big newstely. Mo Liuxi gave them a wicked smile.

 Chapter 1031

    Chapter 1031


    Mr. Jias expression was grim and his facial muscles were twitching.


    If the altercation had been between him and someone else, he could have easily used his connections to shut the whole issue down.


    But Mo Liuxi was in the industry as well. He owned his own mediapany.


    He was the most annoying kind of guy.


    There was no way he could shut this down.


    The people around them had been through all sorts of things. They werent drunk yet. Someone said, Were all friends here. Fights are a small matter, theres no need to blow things up. This was Mr. Jias fault, but he had a bit too much to drink. Hes intoxicated. Allow me to apologize to Miss Yan on his behalf, alright? Director Li, say something. You were the one who invited him, werent you?


    Li Ming pursed his lips before saying, Director Fei, Ive decided to quit this production. You can go find someone else.


    Li Ming. Director Feis expression changed. Dont joke around, weve already had a press conference and set a date for the shoot. We even built a town to film this show. Millions of dors have been pumped into this project already. You cant just quit on us. Whos going to take responsibility for the losses? And what about these actors?


    Yeah! Everyone was in a state of panic. If Li Ming quit the show, no other director could fill his shoes. No one else had his reputation and influence. Many of the actors were only there on the ount of Li Ming.


    Director Li, Im here for you. If youre not going to take on this project, theres no point in me staying, Cheng Sheng said.


    He Jian tried to persuade him as well. I know you are on good terms with Mo Liuxi, but he did beat someone up today and he was the first one to use force.


    Bullsh*t. Li Ming was furious. Look at his injuries, look at how hurt he is. Ive been friends with his mentor for over a decade now, what am I going to say to him now that his disciple is in such a state? So what if he beat someone up? It was supposed to be a nice event, but someone had to turn it into such a slimy exchange. He was right, is this a filming crew? This was supposed to be a joyous celebration, but here you are bullying a girl, a girl that I picked from the auditions to be our singer. If you really like women so much, you should go to a whorehouse, not here!


    He mmed the table angrily.


    He must have been tolerating it for a long while. He felt embarrassed about the situation.


    These actors are here on my ount. How could you stand by and watch someone bully a girl like this? If you think you are so great, you can go hire someone else. You have no right to use my script.


    Director Fei gritted his teeth. Director Li, weve signed a contract already. If you quit, you will be breaching the contract. You would have topensate me with millions of dors.


    Li Ming chuckled. I remember a use in our contract that stated that I am entitled to breach the contract if you threaten my reputation and interest. Arent you ruining my reputation today? To be frank, if you really seeded at bullying Yan Su today, would there be any newbies willing to work with me in the future? If you really still want to film the project, I can see you in court. No one will win if this goes to court.


    He said to Mo Liuxi, Come on, Ill take you to the hospital.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and looked at Yan Su. Come with me, its too unsafe for you here.


    Yan Su was pale when she looked at his arm. She nodded her head and followed them out.

 Chapter 1032

    Chapter 1032


    Im here because of Director Li. If he quits, itll be pointless for me to stay. Ji Nuanyi smiled, then followed Li Ming out.


    Many others also left the party.


    Seeing that, Shi Xiang felt troubled.


    He really hadnt expected things to turn out this way.


    Mo Liuxi was certainly a psychopath. Hed beaten a filmpany owner very brutally in front of so many people.


    If Director Li quit, it would be very hard for him to enter the film and television industry through this film.


    Director Li had to stay.


    He frowned, walking toward Mr. Fei and the others.


    Mr. Fei red at Mr. Jia angrily. Once Mr. Jia struggled up from the ground, Mr. Fei gave him a p across the face and yelled, Idiot! Youve ruined a great party! Cant you find a woman somewhere else? Now what? I dont even know how to wrap this up.


    Mr. Fei, we have to convince Director Li toe back, said another investor. We cant waste our money.


    In fact, the best solution, for now, would be to let people know what Mr. Jia did, then apologize in public, said Shi Xiang, abruptly joining the conversation. And well kick Mr. Jia out of the team.


    Mr. Jia stared at Shi Xiang wrathfully. However, every corner of his body was aching, so he couldnt say a word at that moment.


    He started this, so hell have to take all the consequences, said Shi Xiang ndly. Mr. Fei, people will think you as a reasonable man, and Director Li might change his mind. And, to be honest, bing enemies with you will affect him strongly. If he really quits this movie, the other investors will all begin to question his creditability. Who knows if hell quit a job when the film is half-finished? After all, making a film costs a fortune. I believe helle back if we apologize sincerely. Hes a smart man.


    Youre right. Mr. Fei nodded at him.


    And Shi Xiang continued. We also need to rece all those people who helped Mr. Jia just now. Mo Liuxi and Director Li both watched the whole thing. Without punishing those people fairly, I dont think Director Lis anger will be calmed.


    Shi Xiang, who are you talking about? He Jian asked angrily. Mo Liuxi was never nice to you. But Ive been helping you the whole time.


    Mr. He, Im not talking about you. Im saying all this because I want our work to continue, said Shi Xiang helplessly. Would Mo Liuxi have been injured if you hadnt pulled his arm just now? He is wounded. Thats the true reason Director Li is mad. He brought Mo Liuxi onto the crew. What you did is like a p to his face.


    You sneaky


    Hes right. Mr. Fei narrowed his eyes and said, He Jian, I think I have no choice but to ask you to leave.


    Mr. Fei


    Lets do that. Release the news right now. Finished speaking, Mr. Fei turned and left.


    He Jian hurriedly caught up with him to beg for mercy. Shi Xiang looked at his back with cold eyes.


    You shouldnt have helped Mr. Jia to bully Yan Su, he thought.


    He couldnt afford to punch people in public like Mo Liuxi could, but was able to y some tricks under the table.


    In the parking lot.


    After watching Mo Liuxi and the others get into the car, she said, Your brother fought an investor at a party just now. His arm was cut by a broken wine bottle. Hes heading to the hospital.


    What? Luosang gave a start. How bad is it?

 Chapter 1033

    Chapter 1033


    Im not sure how bad it is, but the ss was in his flesh. I hope his neurovascr structures arent damaged, Ji Nuanyi said. Your brother was so aggressive when he got into the fight. He really sent my heart racing. Too bad I already have a boyfriend. If not


    If not what? said a cold and harsh voice over the phone.


    Ji Nuanyi choked. Youre there too?


    Im eating over at Tingtings tonight. Xiao Si was seething with anger. I didnt expect to hear what I just heard.


    Alright, Im just joking, Ji Nuanyi said.


    Xiao Si grunted.


    Luosang was in no mood to listen to their banter. She quickly asked, Why did he get into a fight? Liuxi always has a good temper.


    Xiao Si mouthed at Nian Junting, Is she for real?


    Nian Junting looked at him and shook his head.


    Ji Nuanyi continued, When Yan Su went over to make a toast, one of the investors got a little touchy with her and forced her to drink with him. I went over to sort things out but he wasnt having any of it. Your brother went ahead and kicked him.


    Luosang mmed the table angrily. Thats too much! How could he bully my brother and my best friend? Which investor was this? Give me his name. Im not Xu Luosang if I dont ruin him.


    Nian Junting was shocked at her promation.


    Mr. Jia from Haiguang Films


    Alright, I got it, thank you. Ill go find Liuxi now. Luosang hung up and turned to Nian Junting. Did you catch that?


    I heard you. Nian Junting nodded his head. But youre far into your pregnancy now, stay at home. Ill go to the hospital with your parents.


    Im not referring to that. Luosang rested her hands on her waist. She looked furious. Im talking about ruining the CEO of Haiguang Films. My brother and my best friend were bullied tonight, I cant just let that go.


    You are right, Nian Junting nodded his head and phoned Lu Kang immediately. Look up Mr. Jia from Haiguang Films. I want to know everything about him and hispany. I want thepany gone from the industry as soon as possible Why? Because he bullied my brother-inw. Let the word out that Mo Liuxi is my brother-inw. Anyone who offends him would be offending me.


    After he hung up, he said to Luosang, Look, are you satisfied?


    My hubby is the best. Luosang gave him a peck on his cheek. Lets go to the hospital. I cant feel at ease if I dont see him in person.


    Okay.


    Xiao Si looked at Luosang and then back at Nian Junting. He felt that Tingting had been acting like ackey recently.


    On the way to the hospital.


    Li Mings chauffeur drove. Li Ming sat in the front while Yan Su and Mo Liuxi sat in the back. The light in the car was on and his white shirt was dripping with blood. His handsome face was pale under the bright light.


    He pursed his pale lips and didntin about the pain one bit.


    She was shocked to see his wound. She asked tentatively, Arent you bleeding too much? Should we apply pressure to stop the bleeding for a bit?


    She was seriously concerned that Mo Liuxi would lose too much blood at this rate.


    No, Li Ming said immediately, There are surely ss shards in the wounds. We might push the fragments deeper into my arm and make things worse.

 Chapter 1034

    Chapter 1034


    Im sorry. Its all my fault. Yan Su felt so guilty.


    If she had known what would happen, she wouldnt have made that toast.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her and said, If I dont even have the courage the protect the woman I like, what makes me a man?


    Yan Su paused briefly.


    Recalling how hed trounced Mr. Jia in front of everyone else, she was deeply touched.


    She was away from home. Shed been alone for four years. Every time shed been bullied, shed coped with it herself.


    It was the first time a man had protected her at any risk.


    He was young and reckless, but he was also brave.


    She raised her head to look at him. He was also looking at her. His eyes were as bright as stars. She could see her own reflection in those eyes.


    Her heart leaped heavily.


    Suddenly, she thought of Shi Xiang.


    He told her that he liked her. Just a couple of hours ago, hed asked her to go back to him.


    However, when shed been in a difficult situation, even Ji Nuanyi, someone she had only seen a few times, had stood up to help her. But he was missing.


    Before, Shi Xiang couldnt help her. Hed always been busy at all sorts of events for his career. He was never there for her before. But this time, hed only been a few tables away from her. He must have seen what happened to her.


    She gave herself a bitter smile.


    Was that the man that she used to love?


    Thankfully, she hadnt epted him that afternoon.


    Mo Liuxi didnt miss any of the micro-expressions on her face. He was delighted. Hed said what he said on purpose. Making her feel touched wasnt his first goal. What he wanted the most was for her to clearly see that Shi Xiang was nothing but a coward.


    He pretended not to know what she was thinking. He said, Nuanyi surprised me. She actually stood out for you, even at the risk of displeasing Mr. Jia. She helped my sister too, many times. Shes really a great person.


    He didnt even need to mention Shi Xiangs name.


    Yeah, Yan Su murmured.


    She guessed that Shi Xiang hadnt wanted to displease Mr. Jia.


    That afternoon, hed told her that hed worked hard to earn money, to be a superstar, only because he wanted to be respected by her family.


    Hed said that everything he did, he did it for her.


    She believed him before, but now, she med herself for being too simple-minded.


    Between her and Mr. Jia, hed chosen thetter.


    Clearly, wealth and fame were more important than her in his eyes.


    She was only an excuse for him to try to climb to a higher ce.


    She suddenly thought it through.


    There was nothing to regret about that failed rtionship.


    No matter if her father had talked to Shi Xiang or not, the result would probably have been the same.


    You two Director Li turned around from the front seat, staring at the two of them. He said, Good boy. So you two knew each other from long ago. No wonder you helped her during the audition


    Yan Su became nervous when she heard that. She worried that Director Li thought that shed earned her opportunity in an unfair way.


    Before she could exin, Mo Liuxi said, What did I say during the audition? Didnt I choose Ye Yunyang too? Do you think Su isnt as good as him? If you feel that way, I can only tell you that you have a poor sense of music.


    Director Li didnt even know how to respond. I havent even said anything yet. Do you have to be so mean to me? he asked.


    I have to protect her, said Mo Liuxi ndly. Do you think that Im one of those people who turns incapable people into stars?

 Chapter 1035

    Chapter 1035


    Director Li was quiet.


    He knew Mo Liuxi well. He hated those who pulled strings to seed.


    I understand now, now I know why you red your temper. Li Ming sighed. Kid, youre good. Yan Su, you should just be his girlfriend. I regret not having a daughter myself. I would really want him to be my son-inw.


    I only want to be Yan Su parents son-inw. Mo Liuxi grinned and looked at Yan Su.


    Yan Su was still feeling anxious and worried about him. She blushed and quickly changed the topic. Youre hurt, stop talking so much.


    Yeah, I nearly forgot. Im really in a lot of pain. I think I lost too much blood. I dont have energy now. Mo Liuxi slumped weakly on her shoulder.


    His soft hair brushed against her cheeks. Yan Su turned to look at his pale face. She didnt even dare to breathe heavily, worried that she might hurt him.


    Li Ming looked at the two of them and thought to himself, How thick, trying to take advantage of her, even now.


    He felt more assured since he still had the mood to fool around. His arm must not be unviable.


    Mo Liuxi leaned against her shoulder. If not for the fact that he was bleeding, he would have wanted this tost forever, for the rest of his life.


    At that moment, his phone rang. It was Luosang. He picked up and Luosang said over the phone, I heard about the fight from Ji Nuanyi. Which hospital are you going to? Were on our way.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. He hadnt wanted them to find out about this yet. Im okay, theres no need toe over. Its sote and youre pregnant.


    I cant sleep in peace if I dont see you in person, Luosang said in a fluster. It wasnt easy for her to reunite with her younger brother after twenty-odd years.


    At the hospital, Yan Su put on a face mask and apanied Mo Liuxi into the emergency room.


    His injuries were pretty serious. He was sent off for all sorts of investigations and checkups to make sure that his neurovascr structures were spared. Thankfully, he hadnt had a major bleed on the way to the hospital.


    It was difficult to manage the wounds and remove all the remaining shards of ss.


    When the doctor brought him into the room, Li Ming and Yan Su stood outside. Li Ming looked over at her and sighed. I hope his nerves were not injured. It would pose a huge problem for his career as a director in the future if his nerves are involved.


    Yan Su was worried. I dont think so.


    Tough to say. Li Ming shook his head. He didnt hesitate one bit when he shielded you from the ss bottle. Thank god he did. If not, your face would have been ruined.


    Yan Su touched her face self consciously.


    She was even more worried about Mo Liuxi then.


    When he finally came out of the room, she rushed forward and asked, Doctor, is he alright?


    The doctor said, Thankfully, his blood vessels and nerves are unharmed. He lost quite a bit of blood so we will have to transfuse him. He should rest his armpletely while the wound heals, which means he shouldy off all chores. You are his girlfriend, arent you? You should help his with washing up and bathing.


    Yan Su was stunned, she was flustered.


    Bathe him, what the heck?

 Chapter 1036

    Chapter 1036


    Doctor Im not his girlfriend.


    The doctor paused with surprise.


    Mo Liuxi smiled. His pretty but pale face was touched with slight disappointment.


    Yeah, he said. I dont have a girlfriend yet. My parents got a divorce, but theyre getting back together. My sister just got married. Sheste in her pregnancy. I live alone. My family is too busy to take care of me. But Ill be fine. I still have one good hand. I can do housework, wash my face, and even take a shower with one hand.


    The doctor didnt even know what to say to him. He took a while to finally put some words together. You are a strong young man.


    That sounded sad to Yan Su.


    Hed been injured trying to save her, yet she seemed to not want to take care of him afterward. It sounded like she was an ungrateful, cold-hearted person.


    Its okay. Im his neighbor. Ill look after him, she hurriedly said.


    Su, thank you. Mo Liuxi raised his head, looking at her with a sincere smile.


    Go and deal with the wound. Yan Sus scalp went numb under that gaze from his.


    That is not real, Li Ming said to himself.


    It took the doctor a long while to patch Mo Liuxis arm up. Yan Su stood by his side, clearly seeing how badly his arm was injured. His skin was split open, his flesh was broken, and the arm was swollen.


    The doctor needed to pick out all the tiny ss pieces with tweezers. Every time the tweezers brought out a piece of ss from his arm, the arm trembled slightly.


    She could imagine how painful it was.


    A whileter, Luosang called to ask about the location of the hospital. About ten minutes after that, she arrived with Nian Junting, Mo Jin, and Xu Zhengxuan.


    Luosang had already heard from Yan Su about Mo Liuxis injury earlier through the phone, but she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.


    Did they give him any anesthesia? she asked.


    The patient said he doesnt need it, the doctor exined.


    Mo Jin gave Mo Liuxi a thumb up. Not bad, son. Strong boy.


    The others were speechless.


    Normally, a mother would burst into tears from seeing her son suffer such a bad injury.


    Did you win the fight? Mo Jin continued asked. Id despise you if you didnt.


    Yan Su sighed. Finally, she learned where Mo Liuxi got his unique personality.


    Of course I won, said Mo Liuxizily. I beat him down.


    Nian Junting gave him a nce full of praise. Before, hed thought that Mo Liuxi was too skinny and weak. He wouldnt have expected him to be able to fight fiercely. Apart from that, hed also turned out to be a loyal friend.


    Ive told my people to bring Haiguang Films down. Dont worry, itll be gone in three days.


    Junting, thank you, said Xu Zhengxuan hurriedly. When I was running a filmpany, I heard about Mr. Jia. I didnt know that he was still like that these days. Hes an animal.


    Aunty, Uncle, in fact, Im the reason why Liuxi is hurt Yan Su apologized to Mo Liuxis family.


    Dont say that. Mo Jin held her hands up and said, Youre so pretty, and youre Sangsangs friend. Its his duty to protect you. If he didnt do that, Id kill him.


    Yan Su sighed with relief. Thankfully, all his family members were nice and thoughtful.


    But The look on Mo Jins face suddenly became a little weird. I never heard him fighting for any girl before. Youre the first one.


    All the others instantly turned their eyes to Yan Su.


    Hes Luosangs eyes widened.


    Yan Sus heart leaped, then she started feeling extremely awkward.


    Mo Liuxi snorted and said, Id do what I did today for any girl. That man was disgusting. You didnt see it. Ive never seen such scum in my life.

 Chapter 1037

    Chapter 1037


    Luosang was in the industry as well. She had heard of incidents like this before and she could imagine the circumstances.


    She understood where Mo Liuxi wasing from.


    She might have done the same.


    Yeah, some people really cross the line, but we shouldnt throw away our own conscience. Xu Zhengxuan was full of praises. Ah Jin, you really educated our son well.


    Better than you would have. Mo Jin rolled her eyes.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless, this ttery was truly


    Yan Su heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like nobody was going to question them further.


    To be frank, it was awkward to be involved with her best friends brother like this.


    Since youre hurt, you should take leave ande home with us, Mo Jin said. You cant even take care of yourself like this.


    No, Mo Liuxi rejected her immediately. Were approaching the end of the semester, there are many important modules left and I cant afford tog behind.


    Mo Jin was frustrated. Since when are you so passionate about leaning? I remember youining about how stupid the curriculum is at your school. You told me that you know everything that theyre teaching you and that going to school was a waste of your life.


    Luosang was stunned. She didnt know that her brother was so arrogant.


    That was overseas. I just came back here and I dont know Chinas culture well. Now that Ive learned a bit about it, I really think that theres so much more to discover, I really like it. As a Chinese man, I should pay attention to my roots, Mo Liuxi said quickly.


    What a joke! If he moved back, Yan Su wouldnt be around to take care of him anymore.


    Yan Sus expression was stern.


    She wouldnt buy it.


    She had never seen him study before.


    Well said. Nian Junting nodded his head approvingly. As an ex-serviceman, hepletely agreed with his patriotic sentiments. Although the values of our ancestors might not be entirely right, we should learn them well and learn them right. I have a few books of Zhou Yi and Sun Tzi at home, plus twenty odds books about Chinese history. Ill get someone to send them over to you tomorrow. You will surely gain lots of wisdom from them. We can talk about the books together when youre done with them. It has been a long time since I talked to anyone about these things. There are really so few people who know as much about history as I do.


    He was just kidding. Did he have to take him so seriously?


    Luosang was surprised. Hubby, those are your treasured books, arent they?


    Nian Junting touched his hair. Of course. But hes your brother, right? I see him as my own brother. Anyway, I like young people like him who are interested in our Chinese culture. There are too many youngsters who idolize western values nowadays.


    Hubby, you have a really glib tongue nowadays. Luosang tried hard not tough.


    Mo Liuxi was about to roll his eyes. Since theyre books you treasure so much, you should keep them.


    Your brother-inw is just trying to be gracious. ept his gesture, wont you? Luosang said sternly. Return them when youre done. Dont spoil his books.


    If he had to finish them, he might not return the books forever.


    Yan Su was about to burst intoughter watching his face turn pale. She tried hard to hold it back.


    Mo Jin shrugged. Well then, Ill move over to take care of you


    No need! Mo Liuxi rejected her. Please let me off, I dont want to end up taking care of you.


    Xu Zhengxuan nodded his head. You make some sense, Liuxi. Why dont I


    No, dont forget, I havent epted you yet. We dont have things to talk about. Itll be awkward to live together, Mo Liuxi interrupted him.

 Chapter 1038

    Chapter 1038


    Xu Zhengxuan was hurt.


    Yan Su said with a gentle voice, How about this Ill cook for him when Im at home. We can also eat in the canteen at our school sometimes.


    I dont really like your food, but since youve said so, I think Ill ept your kindness. After all, Im injured because of you, said Mo Liuxi in a nd tone.


    You are so shameless, Li Ming whispered silently.


    Mo Jin twisted his ear and said, What are you talking about? Dont act like a big boss only because you saved her.


    Stop. Im gonna get stitches, said Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su understood that Mo Liuxi had said that deliberately so his family wouldnt overthink things.


    Aunty Mo, its okay, she said hurriedly. Hes always like that. Ive known it since long ago.


    Mo Liuxi got twelve stitches in his arm. After that, he still needed to take four bottles of intravenous drip for anti-inmmation. Nian Junting told Mo Jin, Luosang, and the others to head back while he himself stayed in the hospital with Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su didnt know what to do. She didnt have the heart to leave. Staying there seemed to be a little inappropriate too.


    While she was hesitating, she received a call from Xiang Wan. Are you in the hospital with Mo Liuxi now?


    Yeah.


    Leave now. The production team has published what happened tonight on Weibo and apologized. They terminated their partnership with Mr. Jia. Hes no longer a producer on the film. He Jian was kicked out of the team because he helped Mr. Jia, Xiang Wan said. They didnt mention your name, but people have mostly guessed it correctly since youre the newest artist on the whole crew, and because youre young and pretty. Many media reporters have contacted me. Im having an emergency meeting with my team.


    Yan Su was stunned. She hadnt expected things to end like that.


    No wonder Li Ming had left to take phone calls earlier.


    Be ready. I think the press will try everything to interview you, Xiang Wan reminded her. Mind yournguage. You cant go against the production team. I think theyre trying to make things right. They still need the film to be done.


    But Director Li has quit the job. Yan Su was a little angry, but also found it hrious.


    He will go back if he still wants to direct other films in the future, said Xiang Wan firmly. Because the production team has published the whole story ahead of the others, and kicked both Mr. Jia and He Jian as the supervisor out of the team. They have shown Director Li enough respect and have punished the bad guys for you and Mo Liuxi. If he refused to return to the crew but insisted on bringing this to court, he might not win. If he did win and made those producers suffer a heavy loss, no other investors would dare to invest in his films again. Hes a smart man.


    Check their Weibo posts. Theyplimented Mo Liuxi and said that he saved you bravely. A lot of people are praising him online now.


    Yan Su sighed. She figured that Mr. Fei was the one whod done all that.


    She was impressed. When the conflict happened, hed been sitting aside and watching.


    Not long after she ended the call, Li Ming came back and told Mo Liuxi the news.


    After hearing the whole story, Nian Junting frowned and said, I think you should go back. Even though Mr. Fei is not a good person, he has thrown you adder and left you no choice but to climb.


    Director Li sighed. Thats what Im thinking. I have no choice. Liuxi, you They said that you can still be in the crew if you want to. But if you dont want to do that, they wont make you.


    Ill do it, Mo Liuxi said with a faint smile.


    How was he supposed to keep torturing Shi Xiang without going back to the crew?

 Chapter 1039

    Chapter 1039


    Yan Su was a little stunned. Shed thought that there was no way Mo Liuxi would participate. He wasnt someone who could swallow a tough pill.


    Why are you still participating in the project? Mo Jin asked. Just tell them that you havent recovered yet.


    No way. Mo Liuxi frowned. Its a rare opportunity to work with Director Li, I really hope that we can create a masterpiece together with our superb skills.


    Director Li snickered secretly.


    It was obvious that he wasnt leaving the project when Yan Su was still on board.


    Luosang nodded her head. Thats true, Director Li is a really famous director here in China. Its rare toe across someone so talented. You should try to learn more things from him. Dont be so dramatic about your own talents, he is your senior after all.


    She was feeling speechless. Her husband was already egoistic enough, she hadnt expected her brother to be the same.


    Luosang and the family left along with Yan Su. Yan Sus van was already in the carpark waiting for her.


    On the way to the carpark, Mo Jin held onto Yan Sus hands. Su, please take care of Liuxi for me. Although he is mean, he has a warm and gentle spirit. Hes kind and he sticks up for what he thinks is right. Look at how he tried to protect you today. Although hes mean to you usually, hes still pretty reliable when it counts. Based on his personality, his future wife will never be bullied in the future.


    Xu Zhengxuan added, But shes likely to be bullied by him


    Nonsense. Mo Jin red at him and continued smiling at Yan Su. Even if he does, it will be small fights between a married couple. The more you fight, the closer you be. Im his mother, I know him the best. Hes handsome and he has a good body as well


    Yan Su was getting confused. Even Luosang could tell that she was hinting at something else. She wasnt trying to get her to help out, she was trying to set up her son.


    Ma, Yan Su will do her best. She is kind. Liuxi is my brother, Im sure she will treat him like her own brother.


    Yan Su was so guilty that she wished that she could dig a hole and hide in it.


    Luosang thought so well of her when she had taken her brothers virginity.


    Dont worry auntie, Im good friends with Luosang. Liuxi saved me this time, I will take care of him. My van is over there, theres no need to send me any further. Go home, Im taking my leave too. Yan Su quickly slipped into her van.


    The conversation was driving her crazy.


    When Yan Sus vehicle pulled away, Luosang said grumpily, Ma, what were you trying to do? Were you trying to get them together?


    Why not? Mo Jin blinked. This is the first time your brother fought for a girl in twenty years of his life. Its not a simple feat. I have to create a good impression of him in front of Yan Su. Your brother might finally find someone who would take him.


    Xu Zhengxuan said, Liuxi is a good chap, he is just immature right now. Look at how Juntings grandmother is trying to find him a suitable partner. You dont have to worry about him not finding a wife.


    Exactly, Luosang said.


    Mo Jin chuckled. You havent tried living together with him yet. Really, no girl would be able to stand his personality.


    Luosang said carefully, Ma, you are the one that is difficult to live with


    Somehow, she was already starting to have difficulties living with this daughter of hers.

 Chapter 1040

    Chapter 1040


    Xu Zhengxuan red at Luosang as he said, How is that possible? It must be your brothers problem. Your mother is very nice. She isnt short-tempered at all.


    Luosang looked at the sky speechlessly. Her father had always fawned on her mother without any principles.


    Su, be with Mr. Mo! Jiaojiao said to Yan Su excitedly on their ride back. Her eyes were glowing.


    Yan Su gave a start.


    Seriously. He is so handsome! Im a fan of him after tonight, said Jiaojiao. If you miss out on a man who is willing to protect you, even shield you from a wine bottle, youll regret for the rest of your life.


    Recalling what happened, Yan Sus heart skipped a beat.


    She didnt notice when it started to happen, but Mo Liuxis face was already so clear in her mind.


    She only needed one second to picture his face and his expression in her head.


    Jiaojiao clenched her fists. She said, I observed Shi Xiang when you got bullied. He stood up, but soon sat back down. He didnt n to stand up for you at all. I cant believe it. He should have at least tried. I liked him before because he was handsome. I was stupid


    After saying that, she found that Yan Su was wearing a sad face.


    Im sorry she hurriedly apologized.


    Dont be. Yan Su shook her head.


    Su, stay away from him, said Jiaojiao. He said that he likes you, but if you affect his interests, hell certainly give up on you. As a woman, I believe you should choose a man who can protect you. You dont always need his protection, but what can a man possibly do for you if he cant even protect you while you are in danger?


    Yeah, I know. Yan Su nodded.


    Perhaps, she should find some time to go home to visit her parents and apologize to them.


    When she was younger, shed thought her parents were unreasonable. She thought that they despised the poor and curried favor with the rich. But now, she realized that it was because they were more mature and more experienced than her. Theyd been able to see that the rtionship between her and Shi Xiang would lead to no good result.


    Eleven at night.


    Mo Liuxi was still in the hospital for the IV drip. With a frown, he raised his head to look at the bottle from time to time.


    Are you in a rush? asked Nian Juntingzily. You have no wife waiting for you at home. Itll be okay no matter how long this takes you. Isnt that right?


    Mo Liuxi nced at him ndly and said, You seem to be in a rush to go home.


    I am. Nian Junting nodded. You may not understand how a married man like me feels.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    He had a wife, and he always bragged about that.


    Thank you, really, for staying here with me sote at night. Mo Liuxi turned the corners of his lips down.


    I have to. You are Sangsangs brother. Im doing what I should do. After saying that, Nian Junting took out his phone and started looking at a picture of his wife. He missed her so much.


    Please peel an orange for me. Im thirsty, said Mo Liuxi.


    Nian Junting opened a bottle of spring water, handed it to him, and said, Your other hand is not disabled. Drink it yourself.


    Mo Liuxi repeated, I said that I want an orange.


    No. I only peel oranges for your sister. Nian Junting shook his head. You can have water, or die with thirst.


    Also, he continued. Next time you pick a fight with someone, try not to get hurt. If you get hurt again, only I, your brother-inw would keep youpany in the hospital. No one else would.


    Luo Liuxi stayed silent. He took a sip of the water and closed his eyes. Fortunately, he didnt need to stay in the hospital for the night, or he might die of anger.

 Chapter 1041. Although… I Miss You

    Chapter 1041. Although�� I Miss You


    At 1:00 in the morning, the saline drip was finished.


    Nian Junting asked Mo Liuxi if he wanted to go back to the vi with them and rest for a day before returning to school.


    Mo Liuxi refused him.


    The doctor said, Itll be good for you to take two days off and rest. Studying is important, but theres no need to put your health on the line.


    I like to study when I have nothing to do at home. Mo Liuxi shook his head. He was really impressing the doctor and Nian Junting with his hardworking demeanor.


    When they sent him to his apartment, Nian Junting said, If you find it inconvenient, just move over to your mothers ce and take a few days off. Dont keep it to yourself.


    Its fine, Ill be fine. Mo Liuxi got out of the car.


    Nian Junting thought that his silhouette looked strange.


    Although Mo Liuxi was an independent man, it was strange for him to be so insistent on his independence, even after getting injured.


    Forget it, every kid has their own private issues.


    When Mo Liuxi emerged from the elevator, he walked over to Yan Sus door and wanted to knock on it.


    After thinking for a moment, he decided against it. She must be asleep by now.


    He lowered his hand slowly and opened the door to his own ce.


    Before he walked in, Yan Sus door suddenly flew open. She was wearing a set of yellow pajamas and her hair was up in a bun. She was holding her phone and her eyes were bright as day.


    Mo Liuxi was a little stunned until she said to him, I thought I texted you to let me know when you get home.


    He turned and walked over to her. His handsome face looked pale and tired under the dim glow. He didnt look as bossy as he usually did, but a lot more vulnerable. He looked like a porcin doll, asking to be looked after.


    I wanted to tell you, but when I walked to your door and I thought that you might be asleep by now. Its been a long day. I didnt want to disturb your rest.


    He was a domineering person. Yan Su found it hard to adjust to his sweet and gentle disposition now.


    Although I miss you. Mo Liuxi continued after a long pause with something so sweet and overwhelming.


    Yan Sus heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the handsome face in front of her and her heart ached. Under his stare, she started to blush.


    Are you are you feeling better? Is there anything I can help you with..?


    Im hungry, Mo Liuxi said. I couldnt do much at the hospital with one hand. I only had sips of water. I didnt eat much and my stomach felt ufortable when they put me on the drip.


    Yan Su was stunned. Wasnt Mr. Nian there with you?


    Yeah, I asked him to peel a mandarin orange for me but he told me that he will only peel them for my sister. I could only have water, Mo Liuxi said. He isnt my blood brother, after all, hes just my brother-inw. And Im notfortable giving him orders given his status.


    True. Yan Su nodded her head. Itll take me at least half an hour to make some porridge though. How about this I have some wanton at home, Ill bring it over and cook that for you.


    I love everything you make. Come quick, Ill wait for you. Mo Liuxi smiled as he stared at her.


    Yan Su was flustered and didnt know what to say. Especially the way hed said, Ill wait for you, made her legs tremble.


    After she got the wantons, she went into his kitchen.


    Mo Liuxi went into his own room instead of hovering around her.


    After she finished cooking, Yan Su went into his room to call him.

 Chapter 1042. I Want to Hold Your Hand All My Life

    Chapter 1042. I Want to Hold Your Hand All My Life


    The door wasnt open. Mo Liuxi was trying to take off his shirt. His back was to the door. One of his sleeves was cut off. His injured arm was wrapped in a thickyer of gauze and wasnt able to bend. He tried pretty hard but failed to take off the shirt, gasping for air by the end.


    Dont move. Let me do it. Yan Su hurriedly went over to him.


    Shed watched his arm be stitched back together and could imagine how painful that had been.


    Mo Liuxi turned. His bare chest was right in front of her face.


    Yan Su was shorter than him, so all she saw was his nipples.


    The faint scent of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant and the manly scent from his body. It went straight into her nose.


    Her brain was nk for a few seconds.


    His chest wasnt strange to her at all.


    That morning, shed woke up on that chest.


    However, she hadnt expected to be so close to his chest that day. Her cheeks blushed instantly. Somehow, she felt thirsty.


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head, looking at her red cheeks. He smiled, pretending not to see anything.


    Yan Su took a few deep breaths, then raised her head. She held his shirt and gently took it off for him.


    He turned around to cooperate with her. This time, she saw his wide shoulders, beautiful back, and waist. The perfect line of his waist disappeared into his pants, giving out a vague, abstinent vibe.


    Are you gonna wear this pajama top? Yan Su spotted a pajama top on the bed and walked over to pick it up.


    He held her hand and stopped her.


    Im not wearing it now. I want to take a sponge bath first. I spent a whole night in the hospital. I feel so dirty now, said Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su paused briefly, then turned and found her hand holding his.


    Mo Liuxi not to have realized that until that moment. He didnt let her go but pulled her closer to him. He looked down at her face with a warm smile. I want to hold your hand all my life.


    Yan Su wasnt prepared for that. She dropped her eyes, not daring to look at his face. Her heart was pounding.


    Rx, I saved you, but I wont use that as an excuse to force you to be my girlfriend. Mo Liuxi let go of her hand and tucked the lock of flyaway hair near her temple behind her ear.


    His fingertips brushed her skin. It was burning hot.


    He pretended not to feel it and continued talking. I helped you because I was angry when I saw that man treat you like that. I was also surprised when I heard you argue with Mr. Jia. I learned something new about you. You are tough when you need to be, and you have principles you stick to. Youll never give up on your bottom line. Su, I cant believe that I fell for you, such a wonderful girl.


    Hearing hispliments, Yan Su dropped her head lower and lower. Her head was nearly against his chest.


    If a girls body temperature could go high enough to cook herself, she would already be cooked.


    She told herself that she could not stay in his room or she might not have the strength to resist what he would probably do next.


    However, before she could say a word, Mo Liuxi carried on. I really regret being too cold to you before. I was too proud. If Id fallen in love with you earlier, Id be able to be nicer to you. Not like now. I want to pursue you, to be nice to you, but my hand is disabled


    He sighed regrettably.


    Dont say that Yan Su calmed herself down, then raised her head to look at him in the eyes.


    Dont say that? What should I say then? Did you just give me permission to be nice to you? Mo Liuxi chuckled.

 Chapter 1043. You Are in My Bed Now

    Chapter 1043. You Are in My Bed Now


    Yan Su nearly bit her own tongue.


    I havent finished Her ears were bright red.


    Alright, speak. Mo Liuxi was staring at her expectantly.


    Yan Su opened her mouth but she had forgotten what she wanted to say already.


    Silence. Does that mean that I was right? I will dote on you Mo Liuxi approached her and she felt the heat of his chest.


    Yan Su took a couple of steps backward in a fluster, not realizing that the bed was behind her. She fell backward,nding on his sheets.


    His clothes were on the bed. She was in a hurry to get up, but Mo Liuxi already had her pinned down beneath him.


    Tell me, I ended up in your bed, and now you in mine within 24 hours Is this some kind of affinity? Mo Liuxi was grinning, his eyes were mischievous.


    Yan Su bit her lip, she was embarrassed.


    It had been midday then. Now it was midnight.


    Get up. She pushed him.


    It was reflex, but she realized that her hands were on his chest.


    Mo Liuxi looked down at her hands.


    Yan Su felt self-conscious and retracted her hands quickly as she crawled out from beneath his arms. She looked shy. I thought you said you were going to clean up. Go do that ande out to eat some wanton. It wont be good if its left out for too long.


    Alright, but you have to wring the towel for me and wipe my back. I can manage the rest. Mo Liuxi smiled.


    Yan Su nodded her head and heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he hadnt asked her to wipe his entire body.


    When she was done, she washed the towel and handed it to him.


    He used his non-injured hand to wipe his chest and arms.


    Under the white light, Yan Su watched this devilishly handsome man clean himself. She felt a little ufortable and embarrassed to watch.


    She looked away until Mo Liuxi said, Wash the towel.


    She took the towel and Mo Liuxi started undoing his belt and his denim jeans.


    What are you doing? Yan Su was shocked.


    I need to wipe down there as well. Mo Liuxi looked up matter-of-factly.


    Yan Su saw a bit of his blue underwear and she blushed. Wait a moment, Im leaving your towel here and Im going to go out.


    Right, I dont want you to see it now. Well lose the sense of mystery then. Mo Liuxi raised his brows.


    Mo Liuxi added, My unknown length.


    She wanted to tell him that she already knew about his length. He wasnt that mysterious to her anymore.


    She decided to slip away with a strawberry-red face.


    Mo Liuxiughed at the sight of her escape.


    When he came out again, Yan Su had already left. There was only a bowl of wanton on the table.


    He looked at his phone to see his text messages. Im really sleepy, Im going back first. Go to sleep early after eating. Text me when you wake up tomorrow, Ille over to make some porridge.


    Mo Liuxi replied, Goodnight.


    The rest of the night, Yan Su had trouble sleeping.


    It had been an eventful day. Her brain was in hyper-drive.


    She didnt know when Mo Liuxi was going to wake up for breakfast, so she didnt dare to fall into a deep sleep.

 Chapter 1044. I Am Awake, I Miss You

    Chapter 1044. I Am Awake, I Miss You


    At 10:00 in the morning, Xiang Wan put out a statement on Weibo on behalf of Yan Su. The statement rified that Yan Su was the victim the previous night. With the help of Mo Liuxi, Li Ming, and Ji Nuanyi, she hadnt suffered any harm. She thanked the film crew for being on her side, for understanding her, and for punishing Mr. Jia. Next, she would continue working on the theme song of the new film together with Ye Yunyang.


    Xiang Wan talked to Yan Su about the content of the statement.


    As an artist in the entertainment industry, she needed to know how to end on a good note when something like that happened.


    Less than half an hour after the statement was posted, Yan Su, Ji Nuanyi, Mo Liuxi, and Li Ming were all on the hot search list.


    A lot of Li Nuanyis fans messaged Yan Su to thank her forplimenting Ji Nuanyi in public.


    As they rose on the hot searching list with praises, so did some other people who had done nothing. Specifically, the list included some other stars from the film crew who had also attended the party.


    The opening ceremony of the new film had taken ce earlier the day before. Therefore, people clearly knew whod attended the party. Among them, Shi Xiang suffered the worst criticism.


    No matter how crazily his fans tried to protect him, many people said that he was even worse than Mo Liuxi. Other than Yan Su and Mo Liuxi, he was the youngest one among the crew, yet he had not stood up for Yan Su.


    Yan Su sighed as she read thements under that statement.


    The inte gave people power.


    At about 11:00, Shi Xiang called her.


    Yan Su refused him, just as she had the other night. Soon after, Shi Xiang texted herSu, dont misunderstand me like the others. I almost rushed out to defend youst night, but my assistant stopped me. Mo Liuxi did what he did when I was fighting my assistant. After you left, I suggested Mr. Fei kick Mr. Jia and He Jian off of the team.


    For the first time, Yan Su felt that Shi Xiang was a hypocritical person.


    She might have believed him if Jiaojiao hadnt told her what he was really doing that night.


    A whileter, Shi Xiang sent her another textI love you. Ill make everyone who has mistreated you pay.


    That text made Yan Su ufortable. Shi Xiang was killing the good impression that she had of him bit by bit.


    She dropped the phone and got up to refresh herself.


    When she got out of the bathroom and checked her phone again, shed received a message from Mo LiuxiIm awake. I miss you.


    Those simple words made her feel real and sweet.


    She got changed, then went out to knock on his door. Soon, the door opened. Mo Liuxi stood at the door with slightly messy hair and a pair of bright eyes.


    Youre here so soon. Did you miss me too?


    Yan Su coughed slightly, then responded in an awkward tone, I thought youd be hungry.


    Nonsense. I said I miss you, Mo Liuxi continued yfully.


    Cant you be serious? The blushing Yan Su red at him. She said, Its about eleven. Im here to make you lunch.


    Get in. We have plenty of food here. Mo Liuxi turned to let her in.


    Yan Su found all kinds of fruits and vegetables, pork ribs, pigeons, ck-bone chicken, and some other food in his kitchen.


    These are


    My mom had someone send them to me this morning. Mo Liuxi silently walked up behind her.


    Yan Su turned, nearly bumping into his chest.


    Can you please not get so close to me? I might hit you identally, she said.


    I couldnt sleepst night, said Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su paused with surprise. She hadnt slept either.


    Was the wound hurting? she asked.


    Yes. Mo Liuxi nodded.

 Chapter 1045. Tell Me, Why Do I Like You So Much?

    Chapter 1045. Tell Me, Why Do I Like You So Much?


    Yan Su was even more guilty now.


    He was always prideful. It must really hurt for him to admit it.


    Shed gotten a bad graze while climbing a tree when she was young. It had hurt when shed gotten a few stitches, even with the local anesthesia. It must have hurt even more for him since he had a dozen stitches.


    Actually dont you think it would be better for you to go live with your parents for now? Yan Su said, Take some time off and recuperate by yourself. Youre alone now, to be honest


    Dont you know why I refused? Mo Liuxi interrupted her, his gaze was serious.


    Yan Sus heart fluttered.


    She did hazard a guess but she didnt want to entertain the thought too much.


    He was staring at her and she had nowhere to hide.


    Mo Liuxi reached out. She was trapped between him and the kitchen counter, His breath was hot as he said, I wouldnt be able to see you if I went back. Im going to miss you and I dont want that.


    Yan Sus eyes flickered. She stuttered nervously, I I


    Even if I stay here, I know that you cant possiblye over all the time and that you will have to go about your own affairs. But the thought that we are just one wall apartforts me. Mo Liuxi rested his head in the curve of her shoulder. Tell me, why do I like you so much? Ill feel ufortable if I dont hear from you every day.


    Liuxi Yan Sus eyes were faltering.


    He was a big man, but when he leaned his weight into her, he felt like a vulnerable child all of a sudden. She couldnt bear to push him away.


    Her nose was brushing against his shirt. She could feel his warmth and she was gradually blushing. He smelled good. She felt her knees tremble and go weak.


    Su, you smell so good, he said into her neck.


    Yan Su suddenly came to her senses and she pushed him away. Dont bother me, Im making your lunch.


    Okay. Mo Liuxi was grinning.


    While she was cooking, he was hovering around her. He couldnt help but ask as he watched her, You learned how to cook when you were young?


    I know a little. My mother always encouraged me to cook fried rice and noodles by myself when I was young. Yan Su smiled. She told me that I should learn to be independent as a girl.


    Mo Liuxi nodded his head. Your parents raised you well.


    Yan Su looked sad all of a sudden. Its a pity that


    I can go back to see your parents over the new year, Mo Liuxi said suddenly. Well always have to go back. Everyone finds it hard to understand their parents during puberty. You might have had issues with them when they opposed your rtionship with Shi Xiang. But as your parents, they just wanted you to find a better man. They didnt want you to enter a rtionship too young and they had their reasons for believing that.


    Yan Su was stunned and looked up. How did you know?


    Mo Liuxi blinked. Hed identally let the cat out of the bag.


    Sang told you? Yan Su frowned.


    She didnt, but you know how sensitive I am. She identally let slip a little and I guessed it. You have quite a story to tell anyway


    Yan Su threw a bunch of garlic at him before he could finish.


    Mo Liuxi dodged her attack andughed when he saw how adorable she looked when she was angry. But I really didnt expect someone as obedient as you to be so rebellious when you were in high school.


    Stop. Yan Su looked down and continued cutting the vegetables.


    Mo Liuxi was stared at her silently for a while before saying, Su, I think your parents miss you dearly.

 Chapter 1046. So Take Me Back Home and Let Me Meet Your Parents This Year

    Chapter 1046. So Take Me Back Home and Let Me Meet Your Parents This Year


    Yan Su dropped her eyes. Her eyshes shook slightly. They must hate me, she said with a bitter smile. They raised me, yet I abandoned them and left with Shi Xiang. Im famous now, but they never tried to find me


    I wouldnte to find you either if I were them, said Mo Liuxi. You know that your parents did hard work to raise you. They did not only gave birth to you, but raised you. Yet, you left them because of a man. They might be angry, but more importantly, they must be heartbroken.


    Hearing him, Yan Su felt so ashamed. I dont know why did that Her eyes turned red when she said that.


    If I were that boy. Mo Liuxi stood on the other side of the kitchen range. He looked her in the eyes and said, When your parents didnt want us to be together, I would have promised you that I would be sessful ande back to you, instead of letting you betray your family.


    Yan Su paused briefly, looking at him with surprise.


    He was only about twenty years old. He still seemed like a young boy. However, the look in his eyes was so mature.


    Mo Liuxi, how old are you exactly?


    Twenty. Mo Liuxi turned his face away and said, But, Im not like you. Your family is wealthy. Your parents never allowed you to suffer any bitterness. Unlike me, you dont understand how it feels when your mother coaxes you to eat thest half bowl of rice while she herself is starving.


    Youre talking about Aunty Mo


    Yeah. Mo Liuxi nodded. Most parents will never betray and abandon their children. Youre a girl. When you recklessly left home with that boy, did you think about who might help you if he mistreated you?


    Youre right. Yan Su nodded, smiled, and said, If only I was as smart as you back then.


    Why dont you say if only you liked a boy as smart as you?'' Mo Liuxi walked up behind her, pressing his chest to her back.


    Yan Su turned and looked into his passionate eyes.


    Her cheeks reddened. She red at him and said, Can you please not get so close to me? Youre taking advantage of me. Are you aware of that?


    Mo Liuxi didnt answer her question. Su, Im just jealous of Shi Xiang. You loved him so much that you even betrayed the world for him.


    Yan Sus hand that was holding the knife shook slightly.


    Whats there to be jealous of she murmured. Mo Liuxi wasnt a part of her past, but hadnt he said that he would be a part of her future?


    I am jealous. Mo Liuxi turned her body around and said, So this year, take me home and let me meet your parents.


    That change of topic happened a little too fast.


    Why would I bring you home? Yan Su didnt understand.


    Ill be so nice to them, like a good son, because you werent a good daughter, Mo Liuxi said with a faint smile.


    Yan Su was speechless for a moment.


    Youre only twenty, right? She couldnt help but remind him of that. Youre still in college. If I bring home a boy from my college whos younger than me, my parents wouldnt forgive me. Instead, they would kill me. Theyd think that Im not doing anything right, but that I keep falling in love with the wrong people. I first fell in love at an early age and left home, and now Ive seduced a boy whos younger than me. Thats what theyll think about it.


    Youre right. Mo Liuxi frowned. Lets wait for a couple of years then.


    Eh Yan Su hadnt expected to hear that. I dont think were in a rtionship yet

 Chapter 1047. Liuxi, Dont Over Do It! It is Mealtime.

    Chapter 1047. Liuxi, Don''t Over Do It! It is Mealtime.


    Mo Liuxi smiled. Doesnt mean Im not allowed to help you show your filial piety to your parents if were not in a rtionship.


    Yan Su was sweating. She didnt know what to say.


    Was he going to insist on getting his way on this?


    You give me some space, wont you? Im not finished cooking yet. Sit in the living room and stop hovering around me. I cant concentrate this way. Yan Su was waving the kitchen knife around.


    Okay Mo Liuxi looked at her with his eyes full of love before heading into the living room.


    At 12:20, Yan Su went out with a bowl of pigeon soup, steamed fish, and stir-fried melon.


    After she set the table, Mo Liuxi struggled to pick up his food with the chopsticks.


    After Yan Su stared at him for a while, she picked a piece of melon to put it in his bowl. Just as she was about to do that, Mo Liuxi opened his mouth, gesturing for her to feed him.


    I cant pick it up from my bowl either way. Mo Liuxi blinked his eyes. Why dont you just feed me?


    Yan Su said, I thought you told the doctor at the hospital that you can manage by yourself. You cant even eat by yourself


    I was putting on a strong front. Mo Liuxi grinned.


    Yan Su frowned. Why arent you putting it on now?


    I cant keep up the act.


    Alright, hed won.


    Yan Su didnt know how to rebut that statement so she fed him.


    Mo Liuxi opened his mouth and he paused as he sucked on her chopsticks.


    Yan Su blushed. Dont be disgusting, thats gross.


    Its not, your chopsticks smell good. Mo Liuxi grinned.


    I meant that your mouth is gross. Yan Su was frustrated.


    Youll know, you just tasted it yesterday, Mo Liuxi reminded her.


    Yan Su was blushing beet-red now. Can you please just eat your meal?


    I want to have some fish.


    Yan Su didnt know if she should put down her chopsticks or not.


    If she switched chopsticks, it would be as if she really minded him. If not, they would be sharing a pair of chopsticks.


    After hesitating for a moment, she picked up his own chopsticks to feed him.


    She continued eating with her own chopsticks and Mo Liuxi was smiling at her. Theres no need for that, right? Ive already used your chopsticks.


    Yan Su put down her chopsticks guiltily and stood up to walk to the kitchen to get some fresh ones.


    Just as she stood up, Mo Liuxi pulled her into hisp.


    She struggled to get up but Mo Liuxi had her pinned down. Dont protest, you might tear my wounds.


    Liuxi, dont be too much. Were having lunch now. Yan Su was ufortable.


    Su I just wanted to ask you, when are you nning to get together with me? Mo Liuxis arms encircled around her. Yan Su was nervous.


    After the day before, shed seriously considered getting together with him.


    But she didnt n on doing it so soon.


    The doorbell rang.


    Yan Su grabbed the opportunity to wriggle free and she stuttered nervously, It might be your family. Im going to take a look.


    She scuttled to the door. When she looked through the peephole, she was stunned.


    What is it? Mo Liuxi had walked over as well. Whos here?

 Chapter 1048. I Dont Need Her Caring. I Have Yours

    Chapter 1048. I Don''t Need Her Caring. I Have Yours


    The gentle smile froze on Mo Liuxis face. It was reced by disgust and coldness.


    At that very moment, he didnt even want his own family to interrupt his alone time with Yan Su, not to mention An Ning.


    He still felt ufortable about the fact that An Ning had woken up in his bed that morning.


    Dont open it. He held Yan Sus hand and said, Ignore it. Lets eat.


    But


    Shell think that Im not home if I dont open the door, said Mo Liuxi coldly. But if I open that door, shell never leave.


    Yan Su thought for a moment, then felt that he was right. Finding out that she was in Mo Liuxis t might make An Ning super jealous again. That girl already disliked her. If An Ning saw her again this time, she might really try to do something bad to her behind her back.


    An Ning kept ringing the doorbell, destroying the great atmosphere.


    A whileter, Mo Liuxis doorbell stopping ringing, but Yan Sus started ringing.


    Yan Sus scalp went numb a little. An Ning was a clingy girl. Yan Su told herself that if she ever got together with Mo Liuxi, An Ning might explode with jealousy.


    After finishing the lunch and doing theundry, Yan Su found that An Ning was still out there, waiting for Mo Liuxi.


    At 2:00, Yan Su prepared to go out for school, but An Ning was still there.


    Go into the room. Ill cast her out. Mo Liuxi noticed Yan Sus anxiety. He didnt want her to think that he had a crazy fan and reject him for that reason.


    Dont cast her out, just made it clear to her, said Yan Su helplessly. I guess shes just here to see if youre okay. She might have heard that you were injured. You see, shes carryings a few bags. Those might be for you.


    I dont need her caring. Yours will be enough, Mo Liuxi said, looking straight at her.


    Im going to your study room. Yan Su dropped her head. Her ears were burning.


    After saying that, she headed to the room.


    After watching her walk into the room, Mo Liuxis handsome face immediately grew as ck as a thunder.


    He opened the door and walked out.


    An Ning immediately walked over with a happy smile and said, Liuxi, I thought you werent at home


    I didnt open the door because I dont want to have anything to do with you? Mo Liuxi closed the door.


    I didnt want to disturb you said An Ning disappointedly. But I read from the news that you got injured. Im really worried about you. Liuxi, are you okay?


    She touched his right hand and asked, Are you living alone? Maybe I should stay here and take care of you. Dont worry, Ill just cook for you and do yourundry and some other housework.


    Thank you, but no. Im rich. I can hire people to do those things. Mo Liuxi had never felt so annoyed.


    He felt that An Ning was just like a fly that kept buzzing around his head. Youve seen me now. Im not dead and my hand isnt disabled. You can leave now.


    Liuxi, does or rtionship have to end this way? Youre my first


    Shut up. Mo Liuxi pulled a long face, then grabbed her arm and dragged her toward the elevator.


    He pushed the button of the elevator. The elevator wasnt on his floor, so he had to wait. An Ning held his good arm and sobbed. Liuxi, dont do this to me. I love you


    Mo Liuxi was so angry that he felt as if his head was blowing up. At that moment, the elevator door opened. He pushed An Ning directly into the elevator, then threw her fruits back to her. After that, he stood right before the elevator to stop her froming out until the door closed. Finally, he made her leave.


    He still didnt rx. Once the elevator left his floor, he called the property managementpany andined. How have you guys been doing your job? I pay you such a high price every month, but you let anyonee to my door. Building twelve, get the woman in a yellow dress away!

 Chapter 1049. Her Lips Were No Longer Foreign to Him

    Chapter 1049. Her Lips Were No Longer Foreign to Him


    And dont ever let this woman in the estate again Who is she? Shes harassing me because Im good looking


    Mo Liuxi hung up and walked into the study.


    Yan Su was standing in front of the desk and staring at a book on the table. She was in a daze, deep in thought.


    What are you thinking about? Mo Liuxi walked over to her.


    Yan Su came to her senses and turned to look at him. An Nings gone?


    Yeah. He wore a glum expression at the mention of her.


    How?


    I chased her away.


    Yan Su looked helpless. She was there when An Ning had first met Mo Liuxi. She hadnt expected things to turn out this way.


    Liuxi, I think An Ning is quite crazy about you. I think you should ask Luosang to talk to An Lan about it. Ask her to talk to her own sister, Yan Su said. She wouldnt let this go so easily.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. He seriously wondered if An Ning was crazy. He wondered if she would tell An Lan about what had happened that night and it would be troublesome if Luosang found out about it.


    To be frank, he didnt believe that hed had anything to do with An Ning that night. That woman was too thick-skinned and scary.


    Ill watch and see. Mo Liuxi looked at her with aplicated expression. Su


    Hmm? Yan Su blinked.


    The two of them were standing so close to each other that he could see his own reflection in her eyes. She looked extra mesmerizing.


    Lower down, her lips were pink and full.


    Su, you are the first woman that I ever liked


    I know. Yan Su was more prepared this time. She had been a little confused when An Ning arrived at the apartment and she still felt a little odd. Im going to ss now, she said.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. Even with only one good hand, he could hold her tightly against his chest and kiss her lips domineeringly.


    After some experience, his lips were no longer foreign to hers.


    Yan Su was stunned for a bit. His tongue was already in her mouth by the time she pushed him away. She felt like he was acting strangely. Liuxi, what are you doing?


    In a fluster, she bumped into his right hand. Mo Liuxi yelped in pain as his lips were removed from hers.


    Yan Su was shocked and she didnt dare to breathe. She looked guilty and said, Look at how seriously youre injured, stop fooling around.


    I was just afraid that you would distance yourself from me because of An Ning, Mo Liuxi said softly. I wanted to tell you that I wont give up by kissing you. This is going to happen, no matter how hard you try to hide from me, I will find you.


    Yan Sus heart fluttered. Whenever he said such obnoxious things, she felt like a little woman in front of him. You can just tell me, you dont have to force yourself on me


    She bit her hot lips. They tasted like him.


    I wanted to kiss you, Mo Liuxi said matter-of-factly.


    Yan Su blushed.


    Only he could justify his actions like that.


    I cant be bothered to reason with you. Im going to sses.


    Yan Su turned to leave and Mo Liuxi followed behind her. Wait for me, Im going too.

 Chapter 1050. Are You Jealous?

    Chapter 1050. Are You Jealous?


    You should stay at home and rest. Yan Su was startled at first, then knitted her brows into a deep frown and said, Dont let An Ning bother you again.


    Are you jealous? Mo Liuxi raised his brows.


    Yan Su blushed scarlet. She was also surprised by what shed said. What are you talking about? Im just worried about you, she said.


    Are you worried that An Ning might rape me while I cant use both arms to fight back? Mo Liuxi smiled faintly.


    Yan Su couldnt even bear listening to that. She hurriedly put on her shoes and prepared to leave.


    Ill protect myself for you. Mo Liuxi walked up to her, whispering.


    He would never get drunk and let some women take advantage of him again, not likest time.


    He only needed to learn that kind of lesson once in his life.


    He said that so seriously. Yan Su paused shortly, then replied with a weird look, You are strong


    Youre wrong, Mo Liuxi shook his head.


    Who would possibly hurt you? Yan Su asked without thinking.


    You, Mo Liuxi looked at her in the eyes and said, You could hurt me anytime you wanted, effortlessly.


    Yan Su felt so embarrassed that she even wanted to tear her own mouth up. She should have seen thating.


    Before leaving, Yan Su paused briefly to think, then asked curiously, You said that Im like a snail, so, why dont you break my shell instead of luring me out?


    Silly girl. I cant break your shell. Its what you protect yourself with. Can a snail survive without its shell? I like you, but your safety is more important to me, Mo Liuxi answered her question without thinking.


    Yan Su throat grew a little tight. She didnt say anything back. She kept her head lowered and left.


    In school, many people asked her about what had happened the previous night. Before the ss started, Yan Su saw arge group of girls swarming out of their ssrooms.


    Mo Liuxi, hes here. They saw him, said Fan Jing, who was sitting beside Yan Su, I guess you dont know that all the girls in our school now see him as the perfect man since they heard how he saved youst night. Before, he was just the most handsome boy in our school, but now, hes a lot more than that.


    Yan Su was stunned a little. Fan Jing moved closer to her, chuckled, and whispered, Be honest with me, did your heart leapst night when he saved you?


    Dont overthink it. Hes younger than me, Yan Su hurriedly denied, then opened her textbook. Her cheeks were burning. Thankfully, her hair was hanging loosely to cover her face.


    So what? A lot of girls in our school are with younger boys, Fan Jing shrugged. Seriously, I might fall in love with him if I were you. Mo Liuxi doesnt just have fans in the school. He has fans all over the country. Hes the new dream husband in many girls hearts. I think no matter which girl he ends up with, that girl will be under great pressure, unless youre that girl.


    Me? Yan Su was not confident about that.


    Yeah. Youre the prettiest girl in the school, while hes the most handsome boy. You can win over the other girls convincingly.


    Yan Su subconsciously thought of An Ning. She hoped that girl wouldnt try to pour boiling water onto her face.


    During ss, Yan Su was a little bored, so she started checking Weibo. Ji Nuanyi was on top of the hot search list, but now it was Shi Xiangs statement.


    After ss, Yan Su got a call from Jiaojiao.


    Su, Im so pissed off. Ive never seen such a shameless person in my life. You see, Shi Xiangs team has posted a statement saying that he didnt help you in timest night because his assistant didnt let him. They said that when he tried to help, Mo Liuxi had already rushed to your table. They also said that it was he who suggested the production team cast Mr. Jia and He Jian out. Even if thats real, how can that kind of bted action possibly help you?

 Chapter 1051. There Are So Many Girls Giving you Gifts, You Dont Need Mine

    Chapter 1051. There Are So Many Girls Giving you Gifts, You Don''t Need Mine


    Yan Su was stunned.


    Didnt Shi Xiang just exin this to her over text?


    She didnt think much about it. She hadnt expected his fans to post it online.


    She didnt know how she felt about the matter.


    She felt a little repulsed. She felt as if shed been enjoying some salmon before someone told her that it was contaminated with parasites.


    Jiaojiao said agitatedly, I saw it clearly for myself, his assistant didnt even hold him back. He had countless opportunities to step forward but he didnt. Is there a point in him speaking up about this only when Director Li and Ji Nuanyi quit the project?


    Forget it. Yan Su was calm. she was surprised by her own reaction. He can say whatever he wants.


    Jiaojiao said, You have a soft heart.


    If not, what will I do? Argue with him online? He would hire an entire online army to drown me. Yan Su sighed. I think we should stay the same as before and stay out of gossip. Look, there were so many celebrities therest night, yet nobody said anything about him.


    Jiaojiao sighed. Thats true.


    After school, the bodyguard was waiting for her. He was there to escort her home because of the media attention she was receiving due to the events from the night before.


    When she walked past the sheltered walkway, she saw Mo Liuxi sitting on the steps, surrounded by a bunch of girls who were there to confess to him.


    She frowned. There were so many girls. Thank goodness Zhang Hongchuan was there to block them in case Mo Liuxis arm got hurt.


    When she was back at the apartment, Yan Su waited about ten minutes before Mo Liuxi emerged from the elevator.


    Yan Su looked at his hands. He wasnt carrying anything. There was just a simple ck backpack on his back.


    What are you looking at? Mo Liuxi raised his brows when he caught her stare.


    Nothing. I saw a lot of girls gifting you with cards and things on my way back. Why didnt you ept any of them? Yan Su looked away quickly.


    Yeah, there were a lot of them. What are you nning to give me? Mo Liuxi walked over to her slowly.


    Yan Su was stunned.


    It seemed like she wasnt being nice. Hed saved her and she hadnt even bought him any fruit.


    You are really too much, Mo Liuxiined. All those people who have nothing to do with me are gifting me things. You havent gotten me anything.


    Yan Su pouted. There are so many girls giving you gifts, you dont need mine.


    Who says? Mo Liuxi whispered in her ear, I need it. I dont care for all of their gifts, I only want yours.


    Yan Su ears were red and hot and she scuttled further away. She felt warmed by his words and she asked, What do you want then?


    I want Mo Liuxi looked at her and smiled. You.


    Yan Su blushed. You hooligan.


    She pushed him away and tried to walk off but Mo Liuxi grabbed onto her. Im just joking. I want a belt.


    Yan Su wasnt foolish, she knew that gifting ties and belts meant that the girl was trying to tie down the guy forever.


    Must it be a belt? Yan Su frowned.


    It can be a tie as well. Mo Liuxi grinned.


    Could he be more obvious?


    Alright, she finally said as she tucked her hair behind her ear. Open the door. Ill cook for you. Im going to Hong Kong to record a show at seven.


    Hmm, Hong Kong is good, they have many belts there. Mo Liuxi nodded his head.

 Chapter 1052. Ill Be Waiting For You

    Chapter 1052. I''ll Be Waiting For You


    After dinner, as Yan Su prepared to leave, Mo Liuxi gave her a key.


    This is she murmured.


    The key of my apartment, Mo Liuxi said. With this key, you can open my door ande into my apartment to cook for me when Im not at home, so you dont need to wait outside like earlier today.


    This is inappropriate. I can just call you before Ie over. Yan Su looked at the key, feeling pressed.


    Take it. Itll be yours sooner orter. Mo Liuxi put the key into her pocket.


    Yan Su blushed when she heard that. Its not like that. I havent epted you, remember?


    Whether you ept me or not, I have decided that I want you, Mo Liuxi responded, bossy and determined.


    Yan Sus heart thumped. She quickly returned to her apartment and packed her things.


    Mo Liuxi walked her downstairs. Before she left, Mo Liuxi stood under the streetlight and looked at her, feeling so reluctant to part with her.


    It was the first time hed felt that way about someone leaving.


    Liuxi, go and stay with your Mom for the weekend. Ill try toe home by Sunday night.


    Alright. Ill be waiting for you. Mo Liuxi didnt say much.


    Those simple words hed said lingered in Yan Sus mind on her ride to the airport.


    Shed once said the same thing to Shi Xiang.


    Shed spent so many years waiting for him. Had she now finally met a boy who was willing to wait for her?


    Perhaps, she shouldnt be so afraid of that.


    Mo Liuxi was right. Was she going to let constantly waiting for Shi Xiang be the only thing that she had done in her best years?


    She looked out the window. The car was driving on a street through the college town. Young couples held hands, walked together on the street, or sat together in the milk tea shops.


    The girls were smilingly sweetly at their boyfriends.


    Jiaojiao sighed. I miss my college years. These boys and girls remind me of my college boyfriends.


    Yan Su looked at her and asked, Youre single, right? Why did you break up with your ex?


    We graduated from college and chose different lives. Jiaojiao smiled. I had three rtionships during college, all great. We got together because we liked each other.


    Yan Suughed. I didnt know about that side of you. Youve been working with me for over a year, but never had a new boyfriend. Is this job keeping you too busy?


    Thats part of the reason. Once you graduate from school, rtionships beplicated. Liking each other is no longer the only reason why two people get together. You have to think about if he has a good career, if his financial condition is good enough, if his family background is healthy, and his personality. Also, your parents will urge you to get married. All in all, its not as pure as before. Jiaojiao shook her head and sighed. Plus, most of the men want to get you into bed at the very beginning of your rtionship. While youre thinking about your rtionship, hes all about sex. Thats sad.


    Yan Su chuckled.


    Sometimes, I really envy you. Jiaojiao nced at her and continued. Youth. Thats something you can never have twice.


    Yan Su looked outside the window and fell into silence.


    At 11:00 that night, the nended at the Hong Kong airport.


    Yan Su switched on her phone and saw Mo Liuxis messageText me when yound to let me know that youre safe.


    Yan Su felt warm-hearted. She put the phone back into her purse. After a short walk, she took the phone back out and sent him a few wordsIve arrived at HK.


    Mo Liuxi immediately called her and said, Give me your address.


    Why? Yan Su gave a start. You arenting to visit me, are you?


    No, I didnt even get my pass to Hong Kong yet. Besides, Im a wounded man. Mo Liuxi tittered and said, I understand how you feel. After all, boys always travel far away across the sea to see their girls in many TV dramas.

 Chapter 1053. So, This Was How Being Surprised Felt Like, How Being Taken Care Of Felt Like

    Chapter 1053. So, This Was How Being Surprised Felt Like, How Being Taken Care Of Felt Like


    Yan Su was a little awkward. It sounded as if it was her wishful thinking.


    It was a ridiculous thought though.


    Im not sure yet, Ill only find out when I check in.


    Alright, let me know then. Dont make me call you to ask.


    After she checked in, Yan Su texted Mo Liuxi before heading into the bathroom for a shower.


    As she was putting on a mask, the doorbell rang.


    When she opened the door, it was a member of the hotel staff.


    He handed over a bag of packed goods. Hello, someone had just ordered doggie noodles, fried fish skin, and milk tea for you.


    Thank you. Yan Su took the bag and shut the door. She quickly called Mo Liuxi. You ordered supper for me?


    Why, did someone send you supper? Mo Liuxi sounded upset over the phone.


    It wasnt you? Yan Su sounded disappointed. It might have been Jiaojiao then.


    So you assumed it was me immediately? Mo Liuxiughed. Are you missing me a lot?


    Yan Su blushed. She regretted calling him instantly. Dont read too much into this, I just thought no one would be as bothersome as you. I wonder who sent it though, it smells good


    Hmm, Im sure it smells good, I ordered it from the best store in Mongkok, Mo Liuxi said suddenly.


    Yan Su was stunned. She could hear her heartbeat. Stop lying to me, you already said it wasnt you. Who knows if youre telling the truth now?


    Look at the bill then, its one hundred and two dors. Mo Liuxiughed.


    Yan Su rummaged through the stic bag and found the receipt. She was shocked. How did you do it?


    I have friends in Hong Kong. I contacted someone and he knew where the best supper is. Dont eat too much, theres more toe, Mo Liuxi reminded her.


    I cant finish so much food, this is already more than enough, Yan Su said quickly.


    Its not enough, Mo Liuxi said. I must let you taste all the best delicacies in Hong Kong.


    Yan Su was touched and she found it funny. Do you think Im like you, such a glutton?


    Yeah. You dont go out to look for food, but you will finish everything that is delivered to you, Mo Liuxi teased her.


    Yan Su cleared her throat. Im going to eat now, bye.


    Okay, it wouldnt be as nice if it went cold. Mo Liuxi didnt insist on continuing the call.


    Yan Su tasted everything. She had never tried these foods before. The taste was authentic, especially the milk tea. It was nicer than anything she had tried before.


    Before long, another staff member delivered braised pork, beef brisket, souffl, and fried durian.


    They were all expensive dishes that tasted delicious.


    She couldnt finish all of it and she called Jiaojiao over.


    Jiaojiao was shocked when she walked in. There were about twenty dished or so. These are all from Mr. Mo?


    Yan Su nodded her head.


    Oh god, Mr. Mo is so sweet, Jiaojiao said agitatedly as she slurped on the beef brisket noodles. Look, this is from the shop that Xie Tingfeng frequents. This is the one Eason Chen goes to. He delivered all of these to you! I really want a Mr. Mo for myself. Even though they dont cost much, it shows his affection.


    Yan Su smiled. She was pleased as she ate the souffl.


    It was the first time a man had treated her so well.


    So, this was what being surprised felt like, what being taken care of felt like.

 Chapter 1054. Belt

    Chapter 1054. Belt


    Jiaojiao, we dont have events to attend tomorrow night. Lets go shopping, Yan Su said.


    Jiaojiao nodded but was surprised to hear that. Yan Su rarely suggested going shopping.


    The next day, Yan Su took part in the recording of a local Hong Kong Show. It was about 8 p.m. when she finished.


    The nightlife in Hong Kong was rich. Yan Su put on a mask before walking to arge shopping mall with Jiaojiao. Once inside, they found some paparazzi following them. Getting rid of them was impossible, but she had no time to shop the next day.


    Since Mo Liuxi helped me, he wanted me to buy him a belt, but therere paparazzi following us, Yan Su said. Lets pretend that its you who are shopping for a mans belt and Im only keeping youpany.


    Alright. Jiaojiaoughed and said, His purpose is pretty clear.


    Yan Sus cheeks turned red cheeks. She said, He insisted. I just couldnt say no.


    Thats probably a lie, Jiaojiao thought, but she still agreed to Yan Sus n.


    They walked into Herms. Yan Su pretended to follow behind Jiaojiao and look around. They finally chose a brown belt.


    The next day, there was still news about Yan Su shopping for a mens belt. The article was titled, Yan Su Carefully Chose a Belt, probably for Her Boyfriend.


    People started guessing who her boyfriend was. Any male star with whom she had worked was mentioned. Some said that Mo Liuxi won Yan Sus heart by helping her during a critical situation, so she was buying the belt for him.


    Yan Sus team quickly published a statement to exin that she was only giving suggestions for her assistant, who had been shopping her boyfriend.


    The news was soon forgotten by most people but not Mo Liuxi. In his mothers vi, he read the news and smiled.


    Mo Jin passed by and happened to see his smile. She was surprised and asked,. My son, what are you reading? Why are you smiling so happily? Are you OK?


    Mo Liuxi immediately dropped his phone, stood up, and ndly said, Nothing. Lets have lunch. Ill head back to my apartment afterward.


    Would it kill you to stay here for the night? Mo Jin asked. You cant even make dinner by yourself.


    Ill order take-out, Mo Liuxi said as he headed upstairs.


    Mo Jin frowned as she watched him walk upstairs before heading into the kitchen. Xu Zhengxuan was cutting vegetables.


    Seeing here in, he grinned and asked, What were you and Liuxi talking about?


    Do you think hes being a little weird? Mo Jin asked. Hes talking about getting back to his apartment all the time as if he had left his heart there.


    Xu Zhengxuan paused briefly and said, I think its normal. A 20-year-old boy can be rebellious. They dont like spending time with their parents. You know, the kid is going to get married someday. Were getting old. We should keep each otherpany. Isnt that right? When do you think we can get married?


    Piss off! Mo Jin rolled her eyes. She knew she shouldnt talk to him about it.


    It was 1 a.m. when Yan Su got out of the van outside her apartment. She was exhausted. As she made her way up to her building, she saw someone sitting on a stone stool. The man was wearing a brown wind coat. His legs were stretched, and his head was dropped. It seemed like he was falling asleep.


    Yan Su recognized him at first nce. She unwittingly slowed down and walked up to him.


    She gently said, Liuxi


    Mo Liuxi sprung up once he heard her voice.


    You came back, he said with a drowsy voice.

 Chapter 1055. I Want to Make You My Sugar Mommy

    Chapter 1055. I Want to Make You My Sugar Mommy


    It was a simple greeting.


    Yan Su was shocked to see his tired expression. She was touched.


    Were you waiting for me? she asked


    Of course, I thought you said that you were going to get back at 11? Its sote now. Mo Liuxi yawned and walked forward to fetch her luggage.


    It was a simple gesture, but Yan Su noticed it. Her heart fluttered. He had caused ripples in her still heart. It wasforting to be taken care by someone.


    She recalled her rtionship with Shi Xiang. They had hardly seen each other in three years. They were only calling or video chatting one another. It was different from this.


    She now feltforted, like a lost traveler who had finally found a resting ce. She started reflecting and wondered if this was a real rtionship. Her rtionship with Shi Xiang ended when he went to Korea.


    The flight was dyed, Yan Su finally answered. I thought I told you not to wait up. You should focus on recovering. Its getting colder, especially at night


    Mo Liuxi interrupted her and said, But I missed you,


    Yan Su was stunned. It was a chilly night, but her heart was warm.


    Where is my belt? Mo Liuxi suddenly asked with a smile.


    Who said I was going to buy you a belt? Yan Su red at him.


    Some paparazzi caught you going into a mens boutique. I know whats going on here. Mo Liuxi stepped closer to her. If you werent buying it for me, then youll really need to exin yourself. How could you not buy a belt for me even after walking into a mens store? I would have to spank you.


    He reached out for her. Yan Su blushed as she stepped backward and said, I bought it, I bought it. Its in the luggage.


    Good. Mo Liuxi ced his hand on her hand.


    Yan Su felt as if she was a pet and she said, I havent washed my hair in three days.


    Its OK, I didnt wash my hands after I relieved myself just now, he said.


    After they entered the apartment, Yan Su opened her luggage, retrieved a paper box, and passed it to him.


    Mo Liuxi opened it. It was a brown belt from Herms that was suitable for someone his age.


    What do you think? Yan Su tentatively asked.


    Hmm, its nice and expensive. Mo Liuxi nodded his head and said, I want to make you my sugar mommy.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say. This guy had no shame


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head to undo his belt.


    Can you try it on at home? Yan Su asked.


    She was embarrassed that a man was undoing his belt in front of her. It was a tempting sight. She quickly turned to walk to the kitchen to pour herself some water.


    Mo Liuxi followed behind her and said, I only have one good hand, so I cant try it on myself. Can you help me?


    He stood behind her. Yan Su hesitated before putting down her ss. His belt was already undone, so she only needed to pull it out. It was the first time she had seen a mans belt undone. She was flustered as if his fly was unzipped.


    Her head was buzzing as she pulled the old belt off and threaded the new belt. She walked around him since she didnt want to encircle her arms around him. When she ended up in front of him again to secure the belt, she lowered her head in embarrassment. Her head almost touching his chest.

 Chapter 1056. You Cant Kiss Me and Run Away

    Chapter 1056. You Can''t Kiss Me and Run Away


    Yan Su spent a while working on the belt but failed. She almost wanted to cry. She only paid attention to the style when she bought. She didnt really know how to use the buckle on it.


    Atst, she raised her head and embarrassedly asked, Do you know how this works?


    Silly, this is the easiest kind, Mo Liuxi replied with a gentle voice. How can you not know how to use this?


    I have never taken off any mans pants, so how am I supposed to know? Yan Su argued.


    Mo Liuxi faintly smiled. He lowered his head and gently held one of her hands with his left hand.


    Yan Su shivered slightly and said, Do it yourself. Why are you holding my hand?


    Dont move, Mo Liuxi whispered in her ear. See, the belt goes through here. You put it under the buckle, so you couldnt get it right. Do you now understand?


    Eh? Yan Su was a little confused. She hadnt been listening to him carefully. She couldnt focus when he whispered in her ear.


    Im teaching you how to do this, yet you are distracted. What were you thinking about? Mo Liuxi pretended not to see her red ear.


    Yan Su bit her lip and stayed silent.


    Im going to teach you one more time, Mo Liuxi said.


    He repeated the instructions. This time, Yan Su finally focused and learned how to do it.


    I got it, Yan Su said as she buckled it. It suits you.


    Em, unbuckle it, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su paused briefly. Some thoughts popped up in her mind, but she believed that she was overthinking. Perhaps, he just wanted to switch to his old belt.


    She lowered her head and unbuckled the belt. Before she pulled the belt out, Mo Liuxi abruptly held her hands and asked in a deep voice, Do you know how to unbuckle the belt now? Youll be buckling all my belts in the future.


    Yan Su felt as if her hands and brain were suddenly set on fire. She raised her head but didnt notice that Mo Liuxis head was very close to hers. She identally pressed her lips against his lower lip.


    They looked each other in the eyes. Yan Su didnt know what kind of look she had on her face, but his eyes were as deep as the starry night. She started breathing quickly as Mo Liuxi deeply kissed her.


    She flinched, but Mo Liuxi put an arm around her waist and whispered, You cant kiss me and run away.


    No, th-that was an ident, Yan Su stuttered.


    I dont care. Youll make it up to me by letting me kiss you back. Mo Liuxi moved closer to her.


    Youve already kissed me a couple of times, Yan Suined in a low voice.


    She had shrunk to the edge of the kitchen range. There was no more space behind her.


    Alright, Ill let you kiss me back, Mo Liuxi said.


    He had a wicked smile as he leaned forward and kissed her. Yan Su gave a muffled moan. Before she could react, Mo Liuxi lifted her up and put her on the kitchen range with one hand. His lips were pressed tightly against hers the whole time.


    Sitting on the kitchen range, she only needed to raise her head slightly so he didnt have to bend so deep. They were both able to enjoy the kisspletely.


    It wasnt Mo Liuxis first kiss. He was getting better and better at kissing. That long and deep kiss even made Yan Su curl her toes.


    Mo Liuxi put her soft arms around his neck. He slowly parted his lips from hers and began to kiss her neck. He inched his way to her earlobe.


    Yan Su shivered intensely. It waste at night. She felt as if she was enchanted by him.

 Chapter 1057. She Actually Started Dating Again

    Chapter 1057. She Actually Started Dating Again


    She wanted to resist and push him away. When his lips touched hers again, she couldnt help but to respond. When she started to respond, the kiss became a little different.


    Mo Liuxis body violently stiffened. He kissed her even harder. He kissed her until she ran out of breath. He finally stopped and pulled her into his embrace.


    Yan Su leaned against his shoulders. Her head was buzzing, but she was fully aware of what had just happened. She wanted to push him away. If she did, she would meet his gaze and wouldnt know what to do.


    She always thought herself to be calm and collected. For some reason, every time she met him, she was pulled into his rhythm.


    Mo Liuxi turned around and kissed her hair. He softly said, Susu, lets date.


    Yan Sus body shook. She hurriedly left his shoulder. Looking at her blushing face, he didnt quite know what to do.


    Ive already decided. Mo Liuxis gaze was firm as he said, Dont deny your heart anymore. I cant say how much you like me, but you do feel something for me, dont you? If not, why didnt you push me away just now? You also responded.


    Stop talking, Yan Su said as she blocked his mouth with her hand.


    After she did, she realized how intimate the gesture was and wanted to leave. Mo Liuxi tugged her back into his embrace. He hugged her tightly and lowered his eyes to look eat her.


    I like you, I like you very much, he said.


    Yan Su was stunned. She held his gaze for a while before slightly nodding, allowing her blush to spread across her face.


    I agree to try dating you, but our rtionship must be kept secret, she said. Lets not tell anyone, alright? First, youre Luosangs younger brother, so I feel a little embarrassed. Also, our rtionship isnt stable yet. If other peoplee into the equation so early on, Im afraid that the people involved might feel awkward in the future.


    We wont separate. Mo Liuxi immediately frowned and objected. I know very clearly that Im a devoted man. Youre also easy to get along with, even if you are not, I can tolerate your temper.


    Yan Su opened her mouth, but she didnt know what to say. Perhaps it was because she had been hurt once that her heartcked a sense of security. Rtionships started as a hopeful new journey. Whether they could pass the test of time was always unknown.


    She didnt want to overthink it now. She just wanted to quietly enjoy the present.


    Alright, itste, so you should get to bed. Mo Liuxi lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead. Ill buy breakfast for you tomorrow morning. You can sleep in.


    With your injuries, dont go out to buy breakfast anymore. Yan Su paused for a moment and said, Ill make breakfast for you instead.


    I dont want to tire you out, Mo Liuxi replied.


    Yan Su pouted and said In the past, I used toe home at midnight too, and you still forced me to cook porridge for you. Why didnt you show concern then?


    Mo Liuxis lips curved up as he replied, I didnt know that I had fallen for you back then. Whether you were tired or not didnt concern me.


    Yan Su thought, Why would this kind of person exist? He is too extreme.


    Alright, just leave. She unhappily started to chase him out.


    Although she had been exhausted all day, after lying down in bed, Yan Su found that she had no inclination to sleep.


    She was dating. She actually started dating again. She thought that she would at least be 30 years old before she would have the courage to date. Who would have thought that she would be dating her nemesis, Mo Liuxi?

 Chapter 1058. It Felt Nice

    Chapter 1058. It Felt Nice


    She never thought this would happen, but it felt nice to be with him. She decided to enjoy the happy time she was having now. No one was able to predict the future.


    She knew what kind of a person Shi Xiang was. She shouldnt shut herself off for a person like that.


    She couldnt sleep, so she got up from bed to write lyrics until 5 a.m. Around 8:30 a.m., she was awoken by the sound of knocking.


    Yan Su hurriedly put on a coat and answered the door. Mo Liuxi was standing at the door with breakfast. Seeing her with messy clothing and hair, he paused slightly in surprise and smiled.


    I overslept, she said while rubbing her eyes. She felt a little embarrassed.


    Mo Liuxi walked in and put the breakfast on the table. He reached out a hand to pull her coat and said, You wore it inside out.


    Yan Su nced at the coat and found that he was right. Ill get changed in the room.


    Hurry up. Your ss starts at 9, Mo Liuxi said. Itll take you more than 10 minutes to walk to school.


    Yan Su quickly changed and washed her face. When she came out of the room, Mo Liuxi had already poured the warm milk into a to-go cup.


    Take it and drink it on your way, he said as he handed her the cup.


    Yan Su nced at his injured arm and felt a little guilty. He was injured, yet he still prepared breakfast for her.


    What about you? she asked.


    I have time, he said. My ss starts at 11.


    I envy you, Yan Su said before rushing to the TV cab to look for her books.


    Mo Liuxi held up her bag and handed it to her. All the books youll need are in here, along with your phone and keys.


    Yan Su looked at the bag with surprise and asked, How do you know which ss I have?


    Your book schedule is on your shoe cab. I prepared your books while you were changing clothes. Mo Liuxi turned his lips corners slightly up, which emitted a suffocating charm.


    Yan Su was in a daze until he put the bag into her hands. When she walked out of the elevator with warm milk and delicious Hong Kong style breakfast, she still felt like she was in a dream.


    Shi Xu used to bring her breakfast back in high school, but that was always simple soy milk and fried bread sticks. Now, her school bag was prepared, the milk was warm, and the breakfast was rich and nice. All she had to do by herself was to walk to school.


    It felt nice.


    By the time she arrived at school, half of her breakfast was still untouched. She shared the food with Fan Jing.


    Fan Jing couldnt stop sighing while eating it. Su, did your assistant buy you breakfast? This is so good.


    No. Yan Su shook her head.


    Stop joking. You couldnt possibly have bought this yourself, Fan Jing said with surprise. I bet you dont know that people have to wait in line at 5 a.m. for breakfast from Yiji. That ce is super popr.


    Thats impossible. Yan Su didnt believe it. Its just breakfast.


    Its real. Fan Jing waved a hand and said, I heard that the owner of Yiji gets up at 3 a.m. to prepare the food. His food is so popr that its always sold out once he opens up in the morning. So, they dont serve food during other times of the day. No wonder its so popr. This is really good. Dont you think so?


    Yan Su remained silent. She had been in a rush to get to school, so she didnt pay attention to the food. She suddenly regretted sharing it with someone else.


    Plus, Yiji is about five miles away from us, Fan Jing said. You would need to leave home before 4 a.m. to buy this.

 Chapter 1059. Why Dont I Believe This Is Your First Relationship?

    Chapter 1059. Why Don''t I Believe This Is Your First Rtionship?


    Yan Su hurriedly took out her phone to text Mo Liuxi.


    [Yan Su]: I heard that the breakfast you bought for me is from Yiji Or did you use Yijis bag to package it?


    [Mo Liuxi]:


    [Yan Su]: So is it or not?


    [Mo Liuxi]: Silly, cant you tell from the taste? Its so delicious.


    This meant that he admitted it.


    [Yan Su]: I heard that to buy Yijis breakfast, you would have to be in line at 5 a.m.


    [Mo Liuxi]: Yeah, I didnt sleep muchst night and left home at 4 a.m. to buy breakfast for you.


    Yan Su was extremely touched. It was the first time that someone had sacrificed sleep to buy breakfast for her, and the one who did it was even injured. She felt a little guilty.


    [Yan Su]: You didnt have to do this. Im not particr about breakfast. Im happy to eat anything.


    [Mo Liuxi]: Its alright. Anyway, I was so excited about my first rtionship that I couldnt sleep. It thought I might as well do something.


    Yan Su read the message. A warmth blossomed in her heart. So, he was like her and lost sleep too.


    [Yan Su]: Why dont I believe this is your first rtionship? Who is as romantic as you are in his first rtionship?


    [Mo Liuxi]: Do you mean that when Im being romantic, your heart pounds like crazy


    Yan Su was so embarrassed that she couldnt continue the conversation. After resting for a bit, she continued to text him.


    [Yan Su]: Look at the cheesy lines you speak, even your kissing


    She wanted to say, Your kissing technique was so good too. Even me, who has a boyfriend before, is not as good.


    [Mo Liuxi]: Im not lying to you. After I met you, everything just came naturally. For these kind of things, if you want to treat a woman well, you naturally know what to do. Plus, Im not an idiot.


    [Yan Su]: Its just your words anyway. Who knows if you had a girlfriend overseas?


    [Mo Liuxi]: Youre checking on me so early on. Be good. I only love you.


    Yan Su put her phone down. Her face was burning.


    At noon, Yan Su was eating at the canteen with a few friends. Mo Liuxi walked in from behind. Their gazes met and quickly parted.


    Zhang Hongchuan nudged Mo Liuxi. Hey, want to eat with Yan Su? You just saved her.


    No, Mo Liuxi calmly said.


    Dont be like that, Zhang Hongchuan cheekily said. Even if you dont like her, you can set me up with her.


    Mo Liuxi scanned him from head to toe. Disgust could be seen in his eyes.


    What kind of look is that? Zhang Hongchuan frowned. Although I look like this, the teacher praised me too. Im not as handsome as you are, but Im alright. Otherwise, you wouldnt be friends with me.


    Mo Liuxis lips twitched slightly as he said, Only yourst sentence has a bit of truth in it.


    Fine, dont take me over then. Look, Chi Shengxu walked over too. He is too good-looking. If I go over, Ill just make him look good. Zhang Hongchuan shook his head and sighed.


    That wont do, Mo Liuxi said. Since you asked, I must help you no matter what. Lets go over.


    He tugged Zhang Hongchuans shoulder, who was surprised by the sudden affection, and walked over.


    Yan, Chi, hi there, is it alright if we eat together? Zhang Hongchuan steeled his nerves and greeted them while Mo Liuxi stood expressionlessly beside him.


    Yan Su felt a little nervous, but it was Chi Shengxu who patted the seat beside him and said, Have a seat.


    Mo Liuxi was annoyed. He thought, We arent close, so dont make it look as if I want to sit with you.

 Chapter 1060. Nian Junting Was Really Unkind

    Chapter 1060. Nian Junting Was Really Unkind


    Once he sat down, Chi Shengxu put an arm around his shoulder and said, Kid, not bad. Youre my idol now.


    Mo Liuxi took Chi Shengxus hand off and replied, Thank you, but we barely know each other.


    Chi Shengxu blinked with disappointment. Except for Nian Junting, Mo Liuxi was the only one who was so unfriendly to him.


    Nian Junting was his rival in love, but he didnt remember doing anything to displease Mo Liuxi.


    Its alright, your sister and I are good friends, Chi Shengxu said with a smile. Your mother and my mother used to be ssmates. We should be friends. Come and visit my family at New Year.


    Im not interested, Mo Liuxi said as he lowered his head and ate his food with a spoon using his left hand.


    Zhang Hongchuan regretteding over. Chi, Yan, please forgive him. He doesnt mean it.


    I understand. Chi Shengxu nodded, Hes cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He punched Mr. Jia right in the face. Thats how I know hes a righteous person. Isnt that right, Su?


    Yeah, yeah, I really appreciate him, Yan Su said.


    She nced at Mo Liuxi while he clumsily ate with the spoon. Zhang Hongchuan also noticed it and hurriedly picked some food for Mo Liuxi.


    Chi Shengxu turned and continued talking to Yan Su. What do you think about my idea? I think its going to be interesting.


    I need to talk to my manager about it, Yan Su nodded and said. But I think itll be good.


    Mo Liuxi frowned slightly and shoved Zhang Hongchuan under the table.


    What are you guys talking about? Zhang Hongchuan hurriedly asked.


    Shengxu invited me to perform at Xia City TV station on Christmas Eve. He wants me to sing with him, Yan Su said.


    Im not very good at singing, so I asked her for a favor. Shes the only singer I know, Chi Shengxu said with augh.


    Mo Liuxi nodded and said, Since you know that youre not good at singing, you shouldnt perform. Spare the audience and dont ruin their Christmas.


    Liuxi Zhang Hongchuan noticed Chi Shengxus face darken so he gave Mo Liuxi an eye signal.


    Mo Liuxi blinked and continued. Im I wrong? Isnt it inappropriate for an amateur to sing with a professional singer? If she hit the high notes, you wouldnt be able to follow. High notes are what shes good at.


    Yan Su frowned.


    Chi Shengxu carefully asked, Liuxi, did I offend you somehow?


    Mo Liuxi nced at him coldly. He wanted to say, Of course. You shouldnt have been so close to Yan Su. Instead of speaking, he remained silent.


    I get it, Chi Shengxu said. Your brother-inw sent you here, didnt he? Nian Junting is really unkind. Sangsang is pregnant already, yet hes still targeting me. Is this necessary?


    Yes, it is. Mo Liuxi nodded. I admire my brother-inw. Ill do whatever he says.


    Yan Su was speechless. He was talking barefaced nonsense.


    The corner of Chi Shengxus mouth slightly twitched. He hurriedly finished the rice in his bowl and said, Su, Fan Jing, lets go. Dont you want some milk tea?


    Noticing that Mo Liuxis face immediately turned sour, Yan Su hurriedly smiled and said, No, theres no space for milk tea anymore. Its still early, so I n to go to the library. I have an unfinished book.


    Alright, were going in the same direction. Lets walk together, Chi Shengxu said.


    Ge waited for a little while before leaving with Yan Su and Fan Jing.

 Chapter 1061. Dont Drink Chi Shengxus Milk Tea, Drink Mine

    Chapter 1061. Don''t Drink Chi Shengxu''s Milk Tea, Drink Mine


    Zhang Hongchuan watched the silhouette of the three of them and eximed, Chi and Yan are such a beautiful couple! We shouldnt havee over at all. We look like extras.


    After speaking, it felt as if his whole body was plunged into an icehouse. The atmosphere was unspeakably chilly. He looked to the side. Mo Liuxis head was bent down as he silently ate.


    Zhang Hongchuan breathed a sigh of relief and told himself that it was just his imagination.


    Since the next ss would start at 2:30 p.m., Yan Su was toozy to go home. Instead, she just camped at the library. Fan Jing only sat there for a short while before she got bored and went out to shop with some other friends.


    Yan Su became sleepy after reading for a short while. Her eyes started closing, so she decided toy down on the desk and cover her head with her book. Since she hadnt really slept the night before, once sheid down, she fell into a deep slumber.


    After she had been asleep for a while, someone suddenly started to knock incessantly on the other end of the long table with a book. It was so noisy that it annoyed her. She opened her eyes in a daze to look toward the other end.


    The guy on the other side wore a blue denim windbreaker. Sunlight shone in from the window behind him. His skin was smooth like jade, and his hair was soft.


    Yan Su was momentarily stunned. When that face came into focus and her thoughts slowly gathered, she jerked and immediately looked around at her surroundings. Luckily, there werent many people around.


    Mo Liuxi was staring at her. His dark stare was like fire sparks thrown onto dry logs.


    She had been drooling in her sleep. The slight sheen at the corner of her lips made his mouth dry as a wave of heat rose in his stomach.


    Only after he had crossed his right leg over his left did he take out a pack of tissues. He took one out and passed it to Yan Su, gesturing toward the corner of his mouth.


    Yan Su didnt immediately understand. When she saw a pool of liquid on the table, she was so embarrassed that her entire face went red. She hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with the tissue.


    She felt incredibly embarrassed. She had really lost face in front of him. There wasnt a shred of dignity as a senior left.


    Mo Liuxi could tell that she was embarrassed. With her face red like strawberry, he wanted to go forward and kiss her.


    When did youe? Didnt I say that we should keep our distance at school? Yan Su asked in a whisper.


    Ive only been her 10 minutes, Mo Liuxi said with a frown. When youre with me, you only think about keeping a distance. How about when youre with Chi Shengxu? With the two of you going everywhere together, arent you worried that others will think the two of you are dating?


    Chi Shengxu and I? Yan Su was surprised.


    She had never even thought about it. Chi Shengxu probably hadnt either.


    Doesnt Chi Shengxu like your sister? Yan Su asked.


    My sister is already pregnant and married, he cant possibly like her for his lifetime. Who knows, the one he likes now might be you. Mo Liuxi quietly looked at her.


    Chi Shengxu and I are friends, but you and I Yan Su lowered her voice. She was a little embarrassed to say what was on her mind. Everyone thinks that the two of us look more like a couple, so a lot of people are looking for gossip about us.


    Thats true. Mo Liuxis thin lips curved up. Reach your hand over from underneath the table. I want to pass you something.


    Yan Su bit her lip and tentatively stretched her arm out below. A warm cup was suddenly in her hand. She quickly realized what it was. Her eyes widened. She looked at him with happiness in her eyes.


    Be good. Dont drink Chi Shengxus milk tea, drink mine. Mo Liuxi stood up after he finished speaking and coolly walked away with his hand in his pocket.


    So, he came just to give me a cup of milk tea?


    After watching him leave, Yan Su opened the milk tea out of habit and took a sip. Why did she feel that it tasted better every time she drank it?

 Chapter 1062. Yan Su Felt a Hint of Danger

    Chapter 1062. Yan Su Felt a Hint of Danger


    After hisst ss, Mo Liuxi sent Yan Su a WeChat message, saying that he was on his way to the hospital so didnt need to wait for him.


    Yan Su remembered that the doctor had told Mo Liuxi to go back to the hospital for a check-up to see if the stitches could be taken out. She went back to Mo Liuxis t and began preparing for dinner.


    She soon got a call from Xiang Wan, so she conveniently mentioned Chi Shengxus invitation.


    How do you feel about it? Xiang Wan asked her. Are you fond of Chi Shengxu?


    Yan Su was a little surprised and said, No, of course not. Were schoolmates and friends. Neither of us has that kind of feeling for each other. Im just thinking that Ill be working at Christmas anyway. It would be good if the work could be done in Xia City. Flying all over the world is a little exhausting.


    You two can work together, Xiang Wan said. If working together is just an excuse for you two to maintain a secret rtionship, Id say no. If you work together with him, people might think that youre friendly with your schoolmates. Besides, Chi Shengxu is your age. You two working together can bring up many topics.


    Before the call ended, Mo Liuxi returned.


    Are we going to talk to his manager? Yan Su hurriedly asked.


    Leave it to me, Xiang Wan said.


    As Yan Su ended the call, Mo Liuxi looked at her suspiciously and asked, That wasnt about you working with Chi Shengxu, was it?


    Yan Su sighed. Did he have to be so sensitive?


    Liuxi, I dont want you to interfere with my work, she said.


    Im not going to. I just think that you should probably keep a distance from Chi Shengxu, Mo Liuxi coldly said. He did not understand why he met a rival in love on the day he became her boyfriend. Also, are you going to be with him at Christmas? What does that mean? Arent you going to celebrate Christmas with me?


    Yan Su bit her lips. This conversation sounded familiar to her. She thought carefully and recalled that Luosang had encountered the same problemst year.


    Men are all the same, she thought.


    Im a singer, and all TV stations run Christmas shows, Yan Su said. Even if I dont sing in Xia City, Id be singing somewhere else. In Xia City, Ill be able toe back to you right after the performance. If I work somewhere else at Christmas, I wouldnt be able to make it back that day. Which one would you choose?


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say. After staying silent for a while, he finally managed to say, Why do you have to work with Chi Shengxu? Cant you sing alone? If you cant sing alone, Ill sing with you. You havent heard me sing yet. Im actually good at singing. I can sing for you now.


    Thank you, but you dont have to do that, Yan Su said. You have a beautiful voice, so I bet you can


    Before she finished, he started singing her signature song.


    Yan Su was shocked when she heard it. She wanted to take back her words. She made him listen to the song that she created for Director Lis new film every single day, and he had a lot to talk about music. She thought that he had great musical talents, but his singing was


    Stop! As a professional singer, Yan Su couldnt bear hearing it. Every single word you sang was off key.


    Arent you being too strict? Mo Liuxi asked. Im not a professional singer after all.


    Youre even worse than amateurs, Yan Su straightforwardly said.


    Mo Liuxi frowned slightly and walked over to her.


    Yan Su felt a hint of danger. She hurriedly added, We all have specialties. You see, youre not good at singing, but you know so much more about films than I do.

 Chapter 1063. Are You Celebrating Your Birthday Today?

    Chapter 1063. Are You Celebrating Your Birthday Today?


    Mo Liuxis footsteps didnt stop, and the darkness on his handsome face didnt lessen.


    Yan Su tried to block his advance with a spat. You cant possibly forbid me from speaking the truth. Dont you dare touch me! Weve only been dating for one day, and youre already disregarding me.


    I dont dare,  Mo Liuxis said.


    He suddenly reached out to grab her hand that was holding the spat. He maneuvered himself behind her and pulled her into his embrace. He anxiously kissed her ear.


    Youre my girlfriend, so I wont object to anything you say, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su tingled from his kiss and shyly retracted her head. Is this called no objection? Youre obviously taking revenge on me.


    I dont dare. Mo Liuxi leaned over and kissed her mouth, which couldnt stop talking.


    Yan Sus legs immediately went soft. He kept holding on to her and toying with her. The spat in her hands was thrown aside.


    Mo Liuxi turned her body around, bent down, and became even more wild and demanding. Yan Su was kissed until her heart skipped a beat.


    She really didnt understand. They had just kissed this morning, so why was he kissing her as if he couldnt get sick of it?


    The pot next to them kept making sizzling sounds. The smell of something burning quickly spread.


    She pushed him away and said, Dont disturb me. The food is about to burn.


    Mo Liuxi hugged her from behind and said, Susu, Ive been wanting to kiss you all day, especially considering how sweet and moving you looked when you just woke up this afternoon in the library.


    Yan Su was stunned for a while. She recalled his heated gaze back then. At the time, she hadnt thought much of it. She was a little embarrassed.


    I looked very ugly, she said, remembering how she had been drooling.


    You dont understand that men and women have different tastes. Mo Liuxi kissed her on the cheek and said, Focus on cooking first.


    Yan Su nodded and asked, Did you get the stitches out when you went to the hospital?


    The doctor said that the flesh had not finished healing, Mo Liuxi replied. Ill go again in two days. He did change the bandages for me.


    Yan Su nodded. She hoped he recovered quickly.


    She continued to cook while Mo Liuxi went to the balcony. He kepting in and out. He even took the dishes she cooked to the balcony.


    Are we eating on the balcony tonight? Yan Su asked.


    Yes but dont worry, Mo Liuxi said with a smile. Ive closed the curtains. Even if there is paparazzi outside, no one can get a shot.


    Yan Su was bewildered. Wasnt it just a meal? Was there a need to go to the balcony? Although, his balcony was very big.


    When she finished making thest dish, she brought it over. When she looked at the scenery on the balcony, she waspletely stunned.


    Yan Su had been to his balcony before. Though there were many flowers and nts on it, it was well-ordered and not messy. Now, the lights were off. Beside every nt pot was a small candle, and the nts had fluorescent lights on them. On a square table were the dishes and a cake, which had fresh flowers arranged into the letters L-O-V-E on it. There was even a retro candle holder beside it.


    Mo Liuxi stood beside the table. His face was illuminated by the candlelight. He looked incredibly handsome.


    Yan Sus eyes opened wide. She strongly suspected that she was in the wrong ce.


    Are you celebrating your birthday today? She was so nervous that she didnt know what to do. Why didnt you tell me earlier? I didnt prepare a gift.


    The soft smile on Mo Liuxis face deepened. Can you only do these things on birthday? Today is the anniversary of our rtionship.

 Chapter 1064. Liuxi, Thank You

    Chapter 1064. Liuxi, Thank You


    A memorable day? Yan Su was confused. Isnt this our first day together?


    Yeah, the first day, so its special, Mo Liuxi said.


    He took the food from her hands and set it on the table. He pulled out a chair and signaled for her to sit down.


    Yan Su sat down and looked at the cake. She felt as if she was in a dream. Everything that was happening at the moment seemed too good to be true. It was the first time a man had tried to surprise her. It was an old trick, but girls liked it.


    Did you do this while I was cooking? Yan Su looked around. She couldnt imagine how difficult it was for him to do all of this work with one hand.


    Yeah. Mo Liuxi raised his left hand. I burned my hand a few times.


    Yan Su looked at his hand and saw some red wax on his fingers. It must have hurt when the wax dripped on his skin.


    She held his hand andined in a gentle voice, Youre still injured. Why did you do all this?


    It was a surprise, Mo Liuxi replied. His words were simple but touching.


    Do I even get a surprise on our first day together? Yan Su asked.


    Mo Liuxi nodded and said, We were supposed to go out for our first date and maybe have a candlelight dinner, but youre a star and Im injured. The balcony was my second-best choice. Come on, try the cake. I ordered it from a ce far away. Its exclusively for you.


    So, you didnt go to the hospital this afternoon did you? Yan Su asked.


    No. Ill go tomorrow. Mo Liuxi smiled. Are you surprised now?


    I am. Yan Su was really touched.


    She was a little worried earlier in the day when she agreed to be with him, especially since he was younger than her. However, she now believed that she had made the right choice. No matter what might happen in the future, they were together and happy now.


    Liuxi, thank you, Yan Su said in a soft voice. No one has ever done all this for me.


    Mo Liuxi was a bit surprised. Werent you with Shi Xiang a long time?


    We were young, and we didnt have money. It was not like now. Yan Su sighed and said, We hardly had chances to see each other after he started his career.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her and felt a little pity for her. She was silly. She wasted four years of her life for a rtionship like that. Shi Xiang was such a scum. He lied to her and made her believe that he loved her yet didnt even see her. Good girls easily got hurt, including his sister and Yan Su.


    Try the cake, he said in a deep voice.


    Yan Su didnt know where the cake came from, but it tasted awesome. She didnt dare eat too much of it since she needed to save some room for dinner.


    As they were about to eat dinner, Mo Liuxi put a spoon before her and said, Feed me.


    Yan Sus mouth slightly twitched. You ate with your left hand at lunch in the canteen.


    Thats because I didnt want others to know about our rtionship. I had no choice but to do it myself. Now, were alone. I dont need to push myself that hard anymore. Mo Liuxi made himself sound very reasonable.


    Considering the thoughtful surprise he created for her, Yan Su had no other choice but to feed him.


    After dinner, Yan Su did the dishes. Mo Liuxi stood by her side and said, Ill never let you wash dishes again when my hand heals.


    Really? Yan Su doubted his words. Guys hate washing dishes. My Dad hates it. He fought with my Mom every time she asked him to do the dishes.


    Washing dishes can turn your hands from soft and smooth to rough, Mo Liuxi gently said.


    For that very reason, he told himself that washing dishes would be his job.

 Chapter 1065. Would You Let Some Other Woman Bathe Me?

    Chapter 1065. Would You Let Some Other Woman Bathe Me?


    Yan Sus heart was moved, but she knew that some things could only be believed after a man had taken actions to live up to his words. Who knew if he were just sweet-talking her?


    Around 7:30 p.m., Mo Liuxi went into the bathroom to start filling the bathtub.


    Yan Su only knew that he intended to take a bath after going to find him. She was surprised and asked, You want to take a bath in this state?


    The wound will get wet if I shower, so I intend to soak in water and leave this arm outside. Mo Liuxi looked back at her and smiled. Since youre here, wont you help me scrub my back?


    Yan Su began to imagine that scenario. She would be scrubbing his back while he bathed. What would happen after that? The image was too shocking. It made her start to feel warm.


    That isnt very appropriate, is it? she asked.


    Dont worry, Ill put a lot of bubbles on top. You wont be able to below them. Mo Liuxi teased.


    His brazen words made Yan Su furiously blush. She red at him and said, Pervert.


    Mo Liuxi smiled and asked, Why are you scolding me? Unless, maybe you dont want me to put the bubbles and want to see everything clearly? I have no objections. Im just worried that you


    Yan Su couldnt listen anymore and said, You used to be rather cold, so why are you speaking such shameless words now?


    If Im not cold toward women with whom I dont intend to develop anything with, should I be friendly and passionate instead? Now that youre my girlfriend, I will show my cutest side to you. A glint of humor passed across Mo Liuxis eyes.


    Yan Su thought, There is no rtionship between you and cute, you devil.


    Ill go turn off the water, Mo Liuxi said as he stood up. Dont run away. Youre the one who promised my sister to take care of me.


    Yan Su gritted her teeth. Did I promise your sister to bathe you?


    Would you let some other woman bathe me? Mo Liuxi raised his brows. You would agree?


    Yan Su nodded. Sure, I agree.


    Mo Liuxi turned around. He bent down close to her and forced her to look into his eyes as he said, I dont agree.


    Yan Su thought, What does you not agreeing have to do with me?


    My body can only be shown to you. Mo Liuxis long fingers gently grazed her chin before he stood straight up. Come in after Ive entered the bathtub. If you dont help me and my wound gets wet and bes infected, dont me me for it.


    He arrogantly made his way to the bathroom. The way he looked extremely annoyed Yan Su. His body wasnt hers. If his wound got infected, the pain wouldnt be hers either. Why was he being so proud? However, she did wish for him to recover quickly. She had to take care of him now. She always felt as if she was carrying a burden wherever she went. She sighed and thought it was best to not overthink things.


    About three minutester, Mo Liuxi called out from inside the bathroom. Yan Su steeled her nerves and walked in. The white bathtub was against the corner of the wall. Mo Liuxi was inside while an arm was left outside.


    See, I didnt lie to you, he said as he raised his brows at her.


    Yan Su ignored him. No matter what, taking care of a man during his bath was an awkward affair. Even more, he wasnt clothed. she didnt feel safe.


    Mo Liuxi found a towel from inside the water and passed it to her. Yan Su quickly helped him scrub his back. It wasnt the first time she had felt his back, although thest time it wasnt during a bath. She found she did have some resistance toward his back now.


    She had just started scrubbing when Mo Liuxi suddenly raised his right leg from inside the water. She was so surprised that she dropped the towel into the water.

 Chapter 1066. Do You Like It?

    Chapter 1066. Do You Like It?


    Without thinking, Yan Su rolled up her sleeve and put her hand into the water to find the towel. While fumbling for the towel, she seemed to have squeezed something that she should not touch.


    Mo Liuxi moaned in pain. He straightened his body and moved to the other side. His cheeks reddened in the steam. He red and said, You are supposed to wipe my back. Why did you touch my butt?


    Yan Su even wanted to kill herself. She had indeed touched his butt. She blushed and quickly gave an exnation. I was wiping your back, and you raised your leg sexily. I was scared by that sudden move of yours, so I dropped the towel. I identally touched your butt when I was getting the towel.


    That was not sexy, this is sexy! Mo Liuxi raised his leg again to show her and said, I just wanted to put my legs up. Curling in the water isntfortable.


    Yan Sus cheeks burned. She was not ascivious person, but seeing such a handsome man raise his long, slim leg made her have some dirty thoughts. He jogged every day, so his legs were perfectly shaped and muscr. He also had smooth olive skin.


    Alright, it was my fault. Do you want my help or not? Ill leave if you need me here, Yan Su dropped her head. She had to stop doing that. Otherwise, her nose might start to bleed.


    Youre not allowed to touch me again. If you drop the towel, Ill get it for you, Mo Liuxi said as he moved his body back to her side.


    Yan Su was speechless. He made it sound like she was trying to take advantage of him. She really wanted to tell him that she had already touched every corner of his body, so she had no interest to take small advantages of him now.


    Mo Liuxi found the towel for her and asked her, How is it? Do you like it?


    Yan Su remained silent. She hoped that he didnt mean what she thought he meant.


    I mean my Mo Liuxi nced at the water.


    No. Its too skinny, Yan Su said through clenched teeth as she violently wiped his back.


    After that, she put the towel on his head and ran away.


    Mo Liuxi dragged off the towel and smiled at the door.


    Skinny?


    How could that be possible? He was pretty confident about his body shape.


    As he came out of the bathroom, Yan Su had already left.


    Mo Liuxi knocked on her door. After a while, Yan Su answered the door. She had changed into pajamas and put her hair into a ponytail. Her snow-white skin was still toned with redness. She had an awkward expression.


    Mo Liuxizily leaned on the doorframe. His hair was moist, which made him look sexy. Are you still up?


    A trace of embarrassment shed across Yan Sus face. She seriously said, Liuxi, Im a girl, after all. We are together now, but for some things, I cant let them happen too fast. So, I think we need to take it slow.


    Su, how can you misunderstand me like that? Mo Liuxi moved closer to her and smiled. I didnt do anything to you except for kiss. What about you? You grabbed my butt and med me for making things happen too fast. Youre the one who took advantage andined about it.


    Yan Su felt embarrassed. She was not confident about what she said. If he knew that she took his first time, would he demand her to make it up for him right away? Would he think that she was faking all the time?


    She was going to tell him the truth soon, but with those thoughts, she suddenly lost her courage.

 Chapter 1067. The Gift Was Full of Surprise

    Chapter 1067. The Gift Was Full of Surprise


    In summary, you shouldnt have made me scrub your back while you were bathing, Yan Su raised her hands in surrender. Alright, lets stop discussing it. I need to do some revisions now.


    I need to do the same. Mo Liuxi nodded and said, There are some questions that I dont understand. Luckily, I can ask my dear Senior.


    Yan Su was amused by his serious demeanor and replied, Forget it, for a top-student like you who doesnt have any regard for the professors, my kind of grades would be despised by you. I cant teach you, and we arent even in the same department.


    Some of our courses are the same. Mo Liuxi didnt give up.


    Those courses arent important at all, Yan Su said. You just need to memorize the content when exam timees around.


    I dont agree. Mo Liuxi shook his head. I feel that every course has a reason for its existence, and I have to thoroughly understand it.


    His face was solemn and serious. Yan Su couldnt win this discussion so she relented.


    Five minutester, Mo Liuxi brought his academic textbooks and books over, along with quite a bit of snacks, including ice cream, yogurt, beef jerky, cookies, strawberries, and watermelon.


    The two of them were studying at the table in the living room. When Yan Su saw the table full of snacks, she didnt know what to say. She knew he liked to eat, but she didnt think that he liked to eat so much. She was surprised he hadnt be obese.


    As she thought, like Luosang, he had the same kind of body that wouldnt be fat no matter how much he ate.


    A present for you. Like performing a magic trick, Mo Liuxi produced an borately wrapped box from inside his clothes.


    Yan Su was incredibly nervous. He wouldnt give her a ne or a ring so early on, would he?


    What would she do if it were too expensive? They had only just started dating, so she wouldnt feelfortable epting something expensive.


    What is this? Yan Su tentatively asked.


    You will know when you open it. Mo Liuxi opened a bag of beef jerky and raised one eyebrow with a big smile.


    If its too expensive, I cant ept it, Yan Su said as she shook her head.


    While its not expensive, it is a bit difficult to find, Mo Liuxi said after thinking for a moment.


    Yan Su was curious. It seemed that was quite a bit of sincerity in this gift.


    She took it and peeled it openyer byyer. She realized that there was another gift box inside. When she opened the lid, there were some ck, yellow, and white pouches in it.


    Yan Su picked up one of them that had English words on it. The tranted Chinese words written on top read, Safe,fortable, smooth, and zero-friction.


    She felt that something was wrong. She felt the package. The smile on her face froze. Dont tell me that these are all condoms?


    Mo Liuxi hugged his chest and nodded. Arent you very surprised? Didnt you say that you like to collect these things? These are the most popr and ssic ones from Europe, America, Japan, and Korea, basically everywhere in the world.


    Yan Su waspletely stunned. She finally had a boyfriend and received a gift. She thought that it was a ring or ne or something, but it was full of condoms. It made her feel extremely awkward and embarrassed.


    Whats wrong? Mo Liuxi could see her stiffness and was bemused. Do you not like the individually packed ones? If I didnt take them out of their boxes, there would be a few dozen boxes. It would look too big and not sophisticated at all.


    Yan Su wanted to cry. You gifted this kind of thing and still have the cheek to talk about sophistication?

 Chapter 1068. Well Go Straight for Children

    Chapter 1068. We''ll Go Straight for Children


    You said yourself that you like to collect condoms. Mo Liuxi said with a frown seeing she was still not smiling. Did you lie to me before?


    No No I like them. Yan Su nodded. She wanted to cry, but smiling was her only choice at the moment. I never saw these foreign brands before. I was just surprised.


    Im d you like them, Mo Liuxi said. Ill try my best to find more brands that you dont know.


    Eh You dont need to If there was a river flowing hear Yan Su, she would instantly jump in.


    I dont think you can find any good ones yourself. The choices of condoms that we have in this country are limited. Mo Liuxi opened his book while speaking. He raised his head and said, Oh, I gave you these, so youre not allowed to give them to anyone else. I heard that you often give condoms to my sister.


    Yan Su remained silent. How much did Luosang tell him?


    Shes married. Dont worry about her. Mo Liuxi snorted and said, Besides, even though you have given her many condoms, she got pregnant anyway. Youre ruining the condompanys reputation.


    He sounded like a professional condom salesman.


    Yan Su felt speechless. She thought, Your sister and her husband are so passionate that they even did it on the dining table. They probably didnt even have the time to use condoms. How could I possibly stop her from getting pregnant?


    Also, you are only allowed to use these with me, Mo Liuxi added with a wicked smile.


    Yan Su kicked him under the table.


    Mo Liuxis eyes widened to the sudden pain. He said, Alright, we wont use your collection. Ill bring some myself, OK?


    Yan Su closed the box. It was settled. She was a condom collector, and there was nothing to say to change that fact. She was too tired to exin.


    That wont happen anytime soon. If you misbehave, you may never have a chance to use them, she said.


    Its OK. Well go straight for children. Mo Liuxis smile grew bigger.


    Yan Su blushed. This conversation had to end. She would never win anyway.


    She stood up, put her gift away, and came back to study with Mo Liuxi.


    She was concentrating on her studies. Mo Liuxi started eating cookies after a short while of reading. He also put dried beef and cookie into Yan Sus mouth from time to time. She didnt know where he got snacks that tasted so different from the supermarket ones.


    At 9 p.m., he finished the snacks. He went toy on the couch and yed a game on his phone.


    Yan Su didnt sleep the previous night, so she was very tired. She pulled him up and said, Go back to your own ce. Im going to sleep.


    Alright. Mo Liuxi turned and reached out a hand to her while looking at the phone screen. Give me your key. You might oversleep. Ill get in and prepare your things in the morning.


    Yan Su paused briefly and patted his palm. Just knock on my door. Im going to sleep early tonight, so Ill get up early in the morning. I dont need you to prepare my breakfast. If I give you the key now, you might sneak in while Im asleep.


    But I gave you my key, Mo Liuxi said with a grievance.


    I have your key so I can cook for you anytime you need, she replied.


    Same here. Mo Liuxi nodded and said, I want to make sure that your fridge is always full. I want you to always have something to eat when you return from a work trip. I dont want you to be hungry. I want to keep your t nice and clean, so youll alwayse back to a tidy home.

 Chapter 1069. Have You Considered When You Want to Get Married?

    Chapter 1069. Have You Considered When You Want to Get Married?


    When he was finished, Yan Su was extremely touched. She almost gave him the spare key to her house.


    When she put her hand into her pocket, she snapped back to reality. How could she be moved so easily by a few words? This was only the first day of their rtionship.


    Its alright. Anyway, I live close to you. If you stock your fridge to the brim, I can go over and take it at any time. As for cleaning, the doctor said that you need at least a month to fully recover. What are you in a hurry for? Yan Su quickly closed the door in his face.


    Mo Liuxi watched the tightly shut door and blinked. His speech had been moving, yet she still didnt relent. He thought, This cold and stone-hearted woman.


    He immediately knocked on the door.


    What else do you want? Yan Su opened the door. She exasperatedly looked at him with her hand on her waist


    Forgot a goodnight kiss. Mo Liuxi stepped forward and took the initiative to kiss her deeply. After their lips parted, he reluctantly closed her door for her and said, Goodnight.


    After the door was closed, Yan Su touched her lips with her hand. It was full of the smell of beef jerky, but the night had been pretty sweet.


    The next day, when Yan Su got up to wash-up, she discovered that hertest tube of toothpaste had run out. She quickly opened the bathroom closet to look for the new toothpaste she had bought. The moment she did, she saw the sanitary pad inside. Her heart jerked.


    Her period hadnte for about one and a half months now. Her period was rarelyte. She wasnt pregnant was she?


    Just thinking about it made Yan Su feel as if she was dunked in a cold bucket of water. Although she and Mo Liuxi were dating, she didnt want to be pregnant now, especially since she had work booked until next year.


    Furthermore, she was not prepared to be pregnant. She always felt that she would be at least 30 years old before she got pregnant. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she got. She even felt a sense of despair.


    Yan Su really didnt have the mood to be a mother. If she brought a child to see her parents without even finishing school, her parents would kill her. She began to feel fearful and regretful. She shouldnt have let herself go because of the heartbreak from breaking up with Shi Xiang.


    Luckily, her one-night stand was with Mo Liuxi. If it were some other man, she couldnt imagine how she would feel.


    With something so heavy weighing on her heart, she didnt have much of an appetite for breakfast. Mo Liuxi talked to her for a long time, yet she remained pale. Her eyes had zed look as she kept munching on the same piece of bread.


    Why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell? Mo Liuxi frowned and put his hand on her forehead.


    No. Yan Su looked up toward him.


    If she were pregnant, she was afraid that they could only get married. After all, an abortion was something she had never thought about. Her parents had taught her to love her body and take care of her chastity to never cause a situation like this before marriage. It also sounded scary.


    But to marry Mo Liuxi, she really didnt have that thought before either. He was only 20. Even though he liked her now, what about the future?


    Liuxi, have you considered when you want to get married? Yan Su vaguely asked.


    Mo Liuxi choked on the bun and coughed. With such a sudden question, how was he supposed to answer?


    He thought, Is she testing me?


    Mo Liuxi quickly put down his spoon. How about you? When do you want to get married? Ill get married too, as long as the other party is you. If it isnt you, I will consider bing a monk.

 Chapter 1070. Maybe Youll Look Like Tang Sanzang

    Chapter 1070. Maybe You''ll Look Like Tang Sanzang


    Congee spewed out of Yan Sus mouth.Realizing that was very impolite, she hurriedly wiped the table with a tissue and said, Im sorry, its just so funny.


    Funny? Mo Liuxi lowered his voice with discontent. Do you think Im joking?


    No. I was just picturing you with a bald head. Yan Su tried very hard to keep herself fromughing out loud. Maybe youll look like Tang Sanzang.


    Mo Liuxis mouth corners twitched slightly. Was that even the point?


    So, are you saying that youre not going to marry me? he asked as he stood up. He walked to her side. He put one hand on the back of her hair and the other on the table. He narrowed his eyes and moved closer to her. Who do you want to marry? Shi Xiang?


    He breathed into her face. His face was handsome it made her heart race. However, he also looked dangerous. She felt it a little hard to breathe.


    Eh Isnt it too early for us to talk about marriage? she asked. Liuxi, youre only 20. You havent even reached the legal age of marriage.


    You brought up this topic, didnt you? Mo Liuxi knocked on the table. Is it because Im younger than you? Its alright. Well get married when I get to the legal age of marriage. Thatll be the year after next. If you cant wait that long, well get married abroad. I can marry legally in some countries.


    I was just casually talking. Sit down, Yan Su said.


    She dragged him into the chair next to her and put some bread into his mouth to stop him from talking. She shouldnt have asked. She needed to take a pregnancy test first.


    For a female star, buying a pregnancy test could be a difficult thing. Thankfully, many ces provided home delivery services. They would wrap the products up so people couldnt see what had been purchased.


    Thursday, the tests were delivered to Yan Sus t. She quickly went into the bathroom to take a test. Seeing that single bar on the stick, she sighed with relief. Thankfully, she was not pregnant. She was probably just overworked, which was why her period waste.


    She suddenly got a call from Xiang Wan. Youre going to Xia City TV Station at Christmas.


    Yan Su replied, Have you talked to Chi Shengxus manager?


    Let me finish. Youre not performing with Chi Shengxu. Youll be doing the show with Director Lis crew, Xiang Wan said.


    Yan Su was momentarily speechless. Arent they going to start shooting the film the 26th? Why are they still going on TV? Besides, its pointless for them to do the advertising before the film is done, isnt it?


    Xiang Wan sighed and said, I know. The film crew talked to me this morning. I couldnt say no. Director Li said the other actors and actresses all have full schedules, so he invited you and the few who had time. Ive thought about it. Itll be fine. Youll be on the show anyway. Whom youre doing it with doesnt really matter. You need to help those people with singing, though. I heard that none of them are good at singing.


    Yan Su remained silent. She hoped that the one who lived next door wouldnt be on the show. To be honest, she was not capable of bettering his terrible singing.


    Mo Liuxi returned from the hospital at 6 p.m. Yan Su quickly went over to talk to him.


    Did you tell Director Li to bring his crew to the Christmas show? she asked.


    Mo Liuxi was watering the nts on his balcony. He raised his eyebrows andzily said, Yeah, I told Director Li that advertising-in-advance is necessary.


    You pulled strings. Yan Su clenched her teeth and put a hand on her forehead. He had won. Arent you aware of how badly you sing? Who gave you the courage to sing on TV and torture the audience? Cant the Christmas Show bring them some real fun?

 Chapter 1071. Give Me Some Face, I am Your Boyfriend

    Chapter 1071. Give Me Some Face, I am Your Boyfriend


    Mo Liuxis hand that was watering the flower slightly shook.


    Why were these words so familiar? He thought for a bit. Were they not what he said to Chi Shengxu a few days ago?


    You are saying the exact words I said to Chi Shengxu to me. Mo Liuxi ced the watering can down and straightened his handsome face. Your memory is indeed very good.


    Yan Su felt a hint of danger in his displeasure. She felt that her words might have been too hurtful. After all, it wasnt his fault that he couldnt sing well. Sometimes it was innate.


    While I dont sing well, its not like Chi Shengxu does either, Mo Liuxi indignantly said.


    He sings alright. Yan Su couldnt help herself and nodded her head once.


    What could he reply now?


    He angrily pulled her toward him and forcefully bit her lip once. Its better if I apany your singing.


    Yan Su was amazed by how domineering and shameless he was. She looked up at his face, which was holding back annoyance, and suddenly found it funny.


    Thank you, but I dont need your apaniment, she said.


    Yan Su. Mo Liuxis tone suddenly turned sharp.


    Yan Su thought that he was going to be angry. Instead, he cupped her small face and said with a cool expression but soft voice, Give me some face, I am your boyfriend. You shouldnt praise other men like that.


    Yan Su finally couldnt hold it in anymore andughed softly. Liuxi, there really isnt a need to do this. Youre just making things difficult for Director Li.


    It isnt difficult for him.. He feels that he owes me something for getting injured in his production, so he readily agreed. Mo Liuxis lips slightly nted as he said, Of course, I didnt let him call Shi Xiang.


    Yan Su breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Honestly, she wanted as little contact with Shi Xiang as much as possible.


    Speaking of which, do you really intend to sing on stage when you sing so awfully? she asked.


    Why not? Isnt there a saying that this is a world that judges people by their looks? Mo Liuxis expression was full of nonchnce. I have the looks and talent, so the audience wouldnt mind. Also, to be frank, most people will be out on dates on Christmas. Only a small minority will stay at home to watch television, and they are all elderly.


    Yan Su waspletely speechless. It was a long while before she pushed his hand away and said, Just do what you want. Ill go and cook.


    Dont go. Lets go out and eat. Mo Liuxi pulled her hand back. Staying at home every day, we are like an old couple before we are even married. In some time, you will lose interest.


    I wont, I quite like staying at home, she said.


    It isnt that you like to stay home. Arent you just scared that we would get photographed if you go out with me? Mo Liuxi directly exposed her true thoughts.


    Yan Su opened her mouth but had nothing to say. Perhaps this was the sadness of being a public figure. Especially when looking for a partner, one had to be extremely careful.


    Silly, Mo Liuxi pinched her nose, those celebrities caught in scandals were all ones who spent a few days and nights in some hotels. Do you think they never went out when they go on dates? They just werent photographed. Even if they were, they would immediately find someone to delete the photos. I can do that, so you dont need to worry at all. Lets go. Ive already bought two tickets to a y. It is based on a suspense drama edited by Keigo Higashino. Dont you like his books?


    How did you know that I like to read Keigo Higashino? Yan Su was a little stunned.


    Mo Liuxi patted her small head and said, When youre free, you always like to go to the library. I cante close to you either, so I could only look at you from far away. Every time I see you returning a book, I go over to take a look. I can understand what you like from your books.

 Chapter 1072. Sis, Arent You Here to Visit Me?

    Chapter 1072. Sis, Aren''t You Here to Visit Me?


    Yan Sus eyshes shook slightly. She looked at him with surprise. They rarely talked to each other at school, so she really didnt know about those things. Perhaps that was what people would do when they really like someone.


    She hadnt been spending time to learn about what his hobbies and interests. In their rtionship, she was always the taker.


    Liuxi She started talking. Complicated feelings surged up.


    Mo Liuxi put his slender fingers against her lips and said, Su, you see, I wouldnt even touch some of those books before. The ones you like, I now want to read them from the first word to thest. I like what you like. Reading the book that youve read is an enjoyment for me.


    Yan Su nearly melted hearing those sweet words. She didnt say anything. She put her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest. She may have only had good feelings for him before, but now she was so sure that she liked him.


    She rarely took such initiative to interact with him so intimately. Mo Liuxi lowered his head and quietly held her.


    A short whileter, Yan Su raised her head and said, Lets go to the musical.


    Mo Liuxi returned to his room and changed. As they prepared to leave, the doorbell rang.


    Yan Sus heart skipped a beat. Currently, the scariest person that could show up in Mo Liuxis ce was An Ning. However, the guards had been strictly forbidding her from entering the building. Therefore, who rang the doorbell could only be Mo Liuxis family.


    Yan Su looked outside through the peephole. She saw Luosang and Nian Junting. Why did those twoe at dinner time? She hurriedly pulled her hand out of Mo Liuxis hand, ran to the kitchen, picked up a knife, and pretended to be making dinner.


    Mo Liuxi nced at her and opened the door.


    What took you so long to answer the door? I thought you werent here. Luosang quickly noticed Yan Sus shoes at the door. Is Su here?


    Yeah, shes serving me. Mo Liuxi threw out two slippers.


    Luosang was wearing a pair of ankle boots. Her belly was so huge that she couldnt take off her shoes by herself. Nian Junting quickly bent over to do it for her.


    Mo Liuxi noticed Nian Juntings smooth movements and figured that he had done it many times.


    Why are you here? he asked.


    Seriously, why were they there?


    Didnt you say that youd take out the stitches today? Luosang asked? We were out shopping earlier. We decided to drop by and visit you, and also get some dinner.


    She put on the slippers and headed toward the kitchen.


    Su, thank you for taking care of Liuxi these days. I got you a present this afternoon. Luosang handed her a paper bag. Dont you always like the clothes from this brand? You never bought them because you wanted to save money. I saw this. I think it suits you perfectly, so I got it for you. I know you can afford this yourself now, but I thought of you the moment I saw it.


    Yan Su opened the bag. It was an embroidered, orange jacket. It was beautiful. She and Luosang used to visit that shop often. She was touched and hugged Luosang.


    Sangsang, thank you, she said. I cant believe you still remember that.


    I sure do, Luosang said.


    Both of the mens faces darkened when they saw the two women hug each other.


    Mo Liuxi rubbed the point between his eyebrows. He couldnt help but remind Luosang, Arent you here to visit me? Did you bring me anything?


    Luosang remained silent.

 Chapter 1073. Nian Juntings Face Was Extremely Dark

    Chapter 1073. Nian Junting''s Face Was Extremely Dark


    After stiffening up for a moment, Luosang turned around. Junting, wheres Liuxis present?


    Nian Junting was confused. He didnt remember her buying a present for her brother.


    Did you leave it in the car even though I told you to carry it? Luosang quickly thought of something, Its that Burberry checkered suit.


    Nian Junting became angry and thought, Wasnt that for me?


    Hubby up and go get it. Luosang pushed him towards the door. She softly said beside his ear, Liuxi rarely asks for gifts from me. Besides, it wont fit. I willpensate you with three sets.


    Nian Junting reluctantly went downstairs.


    Luosang nced toward the kitchen and felt that something was a little off. Arent you cooking dinner? Why isnt the rice cooking?


    I just got here, so I forgot. Yan Su hurriedly started scooping out rice.


    Eight minutester, Nian Junting brought a dark green checkered zer upstairs. It went with a pair of ck pants.


    Mo Liuxi guessed what was going on after seeing the size. He wanted to return it. When he saw Nian Juntings expression, he couldnt help himself and smilingly went to his room to change into the new suit.


    He wasnt built like Nian Junting, but since he had grown taller recently, he unexpectedly filled out the suit. Additionally, these clothes werent overly stiff or strict. The ankle-length pants showed sophisticated and nice-looking ankles. Along with his handsome face, he looked like a young master, both elegant and youthful.


    Yan Su and Luosang both stared. Nian Juntings face was extremely dark. He pulled Luosang toward him.


    She hurriedly snapped back to reality and stammered, These clothes


    This suits me very well, Mo Liuxi said with a smile. Thank you, sister and brother-inw.


    Nian Juntings expression was cold. He decided not to look anymore and turned around. He saw the two theatre tickets on the living room table. He walked over and picked them up to take a look. His eyebrows slightly raised.


    Which woman are you intending to watch this y with? he asked.


    Luosangs eyes lit up when she heard him. Nian Junting had already said that Mo Liuxi could have anyone he liked. The condition for hering over was to not tell Mo Liuxi beforehand so perhaps there would be some girl at his home. In the end, there was a girl, but she was Yan Su.


    That wasnt anything to be surprised about. Since she frequently contacted Yan Su, she knew that when her friend didnt have work she would normally be helping to take care of Mo Liuxi.


    A hint of awkwardness shed in Yan Sus eyes, but it was Mo Liuxi who unhurriedly answered, A friend of mine who works at the theatre gave them to me.


    These are first row seats to tonights show, Nian Junting said as he raised his handsome brows. There is only 30 minutes before it starts. Are you going on a date with someone?


    A girl? Luosang was curious.


    No. Mo Liuxi bent down to smooth out the suit.


    Nian Junting smiled. He pulled Luosang to him and said, Since you havent asked anyone out, why dont you give these tickets to Luosang and I? We havent seen a y in a long time. Luosang, what do you think?


    Sure. Luosang nodded. Anyway it will be boring if we just go home.


    Yan Su silently looked toward Mo Liuxi and saw that the lines on his face were violently twitching. Since he had already said that he never asked anyone out, there were no grounds for him to object.


    Lets not have dinner here. We wont make it in time, Nian Junting said as he looked at his watch.

 Chapter 1074. Dont Be Afraid, Im Here

    Chapter 1074. Don''t Be Afraid, I''m Here


    All right, just leave. Mo Liuxi worried that he might die of anger if his sister and brother-inw stayed longer.


    Liuxi, you dont seem happy to see me. Why? Luosang was a little sad.


    Its not true


    How could he possibly be happy to see her? She and her husband ruined his date and took his tickets.


    Sangsang, lets go. You see, he got changed by himself, so I guess his wound is almost healed. You dont need to worry anymore. Nian Junting put an arm around Luosangs shoulder and brought her to the door.


    Luosang felt guilty for giving Nian Juntings suit to Mo Liuxi, so she quickly followed him. After closing the door, Mo Liuxis pretty face turned frosty cold.


    The tickets were gone. How was the date supposed to happen? He might be able to buy two new tickets, but what if they ran into his sister and her husband?


    Eh Yan Su stood behind him, holding a turner. She understood how he felt. He learned about her hobby, but now the tickets were gone.


    We can watch it next time. Itll be on for a while. Lets watch TV at home tonight. Theres a new series and Ive been wanting to watch it, she said.


    All right. Mo Liuxis eyes glowed. He made a few steps toward her, giving a naughty smile. Do I look good in this suit? You were staring at me.


    Was I? Yan Su felt embarrassed. Sangsang was staring at you too.


    Shes my sister. I dont care what she thinks. What you think is more important. Mo Liuxi put his lips near her face, eyeing her expectantly.


    You look gorgeous. Sangsang really has great taste. Yan Su said, then ran away with the turner.


    Mo Liuxi smilingly looked at her, feeling that a date at home was also nice.


    After dinner, Mo Liuxi turned on the TV, and found the series that Yan Su had talked about. It was a thriller.


    The first twenty minutes were fine. Later on, Mo Liuxi noticed that every time a scary scene came on, Yan Su would silently turn her eyes away, and her body would automatically go stiff.


    Mo Liuxi quietly went into his bedroom, then returned and sat by her side.


    Even that scares you?


    Yan Su blushed. Afterall, she suggested watching the series. She was aware that some horror movies and TV dramas could really scare her. When she was little, she watched a Kindaichi film and didnt dare sleep alone for a few days afterward.


    Dont be afraid, Im here. Mo Liuxi dragged her into his arms and said, Its just a zombie. Its not scary at all. Its nothing but a few pieces of wrinkled artificial skin stuck on their faces.


    Hearing that, Yan Su carefully turned to the TV and saw a zombie jump out of a coffin, along with horrifying music. She trembled with fright, and hurriedly buried her face into his chest.


    You dont need to be afraid of that. Mo Liuxi really liked being held tight by her. He whispered in her ear, What should I do? Youre older than me, yet youre so easy to scare. Youre a little girl who needs to be taken care of.


    Dont you know that all girls are easy to scare? Yan Su raised her head from his chest,ining but saw Mo Liuxi wearing a zombie skin on his face, looking even scarier than the zombies on TV.


    She burst into a scream, sprung up and jumped to the side.


    What is that! She nearly lost her mind.

 Chapter 1075. Be Good Su, Youre Pretty

    Chapter 1075. Be Good Su, You''re Pretty


    That is a mask from America for a zombie shoot. Mo Liuxi took the mask off. When I was in the production team, they gave me a few.


    Crazy guy. Yan Su was incredibly angry and stood up to leave.


    It looked like she was angry. Mo Liuxi hurriedly grabbed her to prevent her from leaving. Are you really angry? I just wanted to test your courage.


    Who tests like this? You know that Im timid, and yet you still scare me. Yan Su couldnt get out of his hold, but she was really angry, so she could only pound on his chest.


    Go on and hit me, as long as it makes you less angry. You can hit me as much as you want, Mo Liuxi grabbed her hands to hit his face.


    Things like hitting another persons face, Yan Su really couldnt do it. She red at him but stopped hitting him.


    Mo Liuxi took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace and tried to cate her. I was wrong and I was being bad. I wont scare you again.


    If there is a next time, I would change boyfriends, Yan Su said.


    You dare? After saying that, Mo Liuxi bent over to kiss her small mouth.


    Yan Su was still angry and frustratedly bit his lips.


    Mo Liuxi smiled and decided to let her be. He continued to kiss her while ignoring everything else. Their lips and teeth shed; it was both forceful and gentle. Yan Su was kissed until she no longer had the strength to resist.


    She slowly let go of her bite, and he was even more like a fish that swam into the sea. The two of them both sat on the sofa. In this moment, they were leaning entirely on the cushions behind them.


    Mo Liuxis left hand hugged her as they leaned against the sofa. His other arm could also move a little after the stitches had been removed. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yan Su under the light. Her eyes were gently closed. Each of her eyshes trembled underneath the light, while her lips and teeth tangled with his shyly. His heart burned violently.


    Full of libido, he couldnt hold back anymore as his right hand went up her waist.


    Yan Su felt it immediately and trembled.


    Be good Su, youre pretty, Mo Liuxi said hoarsely before kissing her even harder, like a hunter that attacked while setting-up a trap. His overly arrogant aura and assault made Yan Su unable to regain her bearings.


    After who knows how long, the hand holding her waist suddenly pulled and her body spun. She quicklynded on his thigh with her legs opened suggestively.


    Mo Liuxi pressed her head down to continue kissing her. Yan Su discovered that he especially liked this position. Actually, she rather liked it too. She couldnt help but hold his handsome face with both her hands.


    As they kissed, she suddenly felt the change in his body. She wasnt much better either, as her body tingled all over. It was like she was back to that night in the club.


    Mo Liuxi felt that this feeling was so familiar, as if


    But, didnt she say that she left very early that night? Was it her that night?


    The more he thought about it, the more he lost control, making it slightly painful for Su, who moaned in pain. The two of them then slowly regained their senses.


    Their four eyes met; ones eyes were passionate, and the others were dreamy while her cheeks blushed red. Yan Su bent down to look at herself, then hurriedly covered her mouth and went to the bathroom without saying a word.

 Chapter 1076. He Was Sure It Was Love

    Chapter 1076. He Was Sure It Was Love


    She looked so innocent and pretty; Mo Liuxi felt itchy in the heart.


    He made a step forward, pressed her head into his chest, and said with a deep voice which was full of guiltiness, Im sorry that I hurt you


    Yan Sus chest was still burning. Hearing his words, she felt as if someone had poured a cup of boiling water on her head. Dont do that again she stuttered, with a very low voice.


    Em, Ill be gentle next time. Mo Liuxi sounded very obedient.


    Next time


    Yan Sus head nearly smoked. She pushed him away, ring at him.


    Am I wrong? said Mo Liuxi. Were a normal couple. Im a healthy man, and youre a healthy woman. Well eventually make it to thest step. Its only a matter of time. Or are you one of those old-school girls who prefer to save it for marriage? Ill respect you if thats the case. We can wait until we get married.


    Yan Su paused briefly. She hadnt thought about that. She was surprised and touched to hear him say that. After all, men always cared a lot about sex. Are you sure you can do that? she asked, Many men say the same thing, but only a few of them manage to do it.


    We just need to get used to it. Besides, we also need to control ourselves when our wives are pregnant. To be honest, I despise men who cheat on their wives while theyre pregnant, said Mo Liuxi with scornfulness.


    Yan Su blinked, turned her eyes away and said, Im not saying that we have to wait until we get married. Im not that old-school. I just think that we should take things slow, and let it happen naturally.


    I understand, Mo Liuxi smiled. Dont worry. All I care is if youre willing to do it with me.


    Thank you. Yan Su felt sweet.


    Earlier in the bathroom, she was a little confused and helpless. But now, that feeling was gone. That kind of thing could happen between a normal couple.


    Su, even though youre three years older than me, and have been in a rtionship, I feel as if youve never done that, said Mo Liuxi, Youre not familiar with those things.


    Yan Su felt slightly embarrassed. He was right.


    She red at him and said, What about you? You said that this is your first rtionship, but you seem to know everything. You undid my button in no time.


    Men are born with that skill. Mo Liuxu held her and put his forehead against hers. He missed her all the time now, even though there was just one wall between them.


    He needed to spend the summer holiday working with the film crew. What would he do without her?


    The next couple of weekends, Yan Su flew to other cities to attend to the events that herpany arranged for her. Sometimes it was TV shows, and some other times, it was amercial shooting.


    At night, the two of them stayed at home, watching TV, or studying together.


    In school, they pretended not to know each other. Every time Yan Su studied in the library, Mo Liuxi would sit near her, reading, spending time with his phone, or sleeping. When she was ying badminton on the yground, he would also sit in a corner and watch her.


    Once, Mo Liuxi identally fell asleep. When he woke up, he found his coat over his shoulders.


    He nced at Yan Sus seat. She had already left. He immediately messaged her on WeChatDid you put the coat on me?


    Yan SuDont take off your coat in this season. You could catch a cold.


    Mo Liuxi paused a few seconds, then replied with I love you.


    He had never loved any girl, so didnt even know what love was. However, at that very moment, he was sure that what he was feeling, was love.


    It wasnt spectacr but was constantly warm.

 Chapter 1077. Do You Like Yan Su, or Are You Dating Her?

    Chapter 1077. Do You Like Yan Su, or Are You Dating Her?


    Here again.


    Someone tapped on his shoulder. Zhang Hongchuan appeared behind him with an odd smile. I heard that youve beening to the library every day.


    My arm is still injured. Where would I go if not the library? Mo Liuxi held his phone and stood upzily.


    Zhang Honchuan snorted and picked up the book that he left on the table. This is a Yasunari Kawabata book. Since when do you read his books?


    Why cant I? Im both a director and a scriptwriter. Of course, I need to read and write more. Mo Liuxi took the book back and returned it to the bookshelf.


    Zhang Hongchuan looked left and right, then suddenly went close to his ear, Do you like Yan Su, or are you dating her?


    Mo Liuxis legs paused. He turned around to look at Zhang Hongchuan with narrowed eyes. Be careful with what you say.


    Zhang Hongchuan rolled his eyes at Mo Liuxi. Let me tell you that there are already people from school asking me about this, because Im the closest to you. You go to the library every day and Yan Su is always there too. Some people notice that every time she is there, you are too. Someone even came to ask me. Luckily, I was quick and denied it immediately. I said that youre writing a script, so youre researching in the library every day.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. He really didnt notice anything.


    Also, I realized that youve been buying milk tea and keeping it in your coat pocket. I might not know about other people, but I definitely know that you dont drink milk tea. Zhang Hongchuan lowered his voice saying, Also, anyone who has observed Yan Su knows that she loves the milk tea in front of our school. That shop even advertised on its front-door that it is Yan Sus favorite milk tea, making their business boom. Dont deny it to me. Ive already guessed that you liked someone, but youve always denied that it isnt Yan Su. Im not stupid.


    Mo Liuxi pursed his lips, kept a poker face and didnt say a word.


    Are you guys really dating? Zhang Hongchuan became even more convinced after seeing his expression.


    Dont you already know? Mo Liuxi was expressionless, You are not to let this spread. I intend to announce it publicly after Yan Su has graduated. I dont want to cause her trouble in school.


    Zhang Hongchuan widened his eyes and looked at Mo Liuxi for a while. He silently cursed in his heart and said through gritted teeth, You are really cunning. You were already dating her and yet you still said you would introduce her to me. You are just jealous of Chi Shengxu, arent you?


    Mo Liuxi put the book onto the bookshelf and stayed silent, making it seem he was admitting it.


    Never mind. I dont have your looks and Im not as good as saving damsels like you are, Zhang Hongchuan said. But its quite good that you guys are not public yet. Once you do, every inch of your life will be scrutinized by paparazzi, which makes it easier for you two to break up, especially since you guys are still too young


    He didnt even finish before he saw Mo Liuxis unhappy look.


    Zhang Hongchuan coughed lightly. Although my words may not be nice, this is todays society.


    We wont break up. Mo Liuxi turned around and left.


    Then you better be more careful in the future. Zhang Hongchuan reminded him saying, Especially since there are people who are observing the two of you now.


    Mo Liuxi was frustrated, but he still agreed.


    On Thursday, Yan Su flew to Singapore in the afternoon.


    Christmas was almost here, so there were more and more events all over the country and overseas. That afternoon, Yan Su ran downstairs the moment herst ss ended.


    Halfway there, she bumped into An Ninging down from the stairs. Yan Su didnt intend to greet her.


    Although the two of them had never talked much, she disliked An Ning more and more.

 Chapter 1078. I Thought Hes Like a Little Brother to You

    Chapter 1078. I Thought He''s Like a Little Brother to You


    Yan Su nned to walk past her, yet An Ning abruptly blocked her way, stared straight at her and said, Yan, no offense, but are you pursuing Liuxi?


    Yan Su was stunned and nervous. She didnt talk to Mo Liuxi in school recently, but he often showed up around her. To be honest, anyone who paid attention could tell that something was going on between them.


    I dont know what youre talking about. Move away, Im in a rush.


    An Ning didnt step away, but continued aggressively saying, I heard people say that you always sneak to the library when Liuxi is there. I should have thought about what you two did in the music studio, and about my congee; you did all that on purpose. I thought Liuxi was like a little brother to you, but you were scheming against me. We were together before, but because of you, he broke up with me. Yan, I didnt know that you were so sneaky.


    Yan Suughed with anger. It was the very first time someone had said something like that about her.


    She was a star now. Ever since she built her fame, her schoolmates had been extra polite to her, especially the younger students. An Ning was such a freak.


    An Ning, watch yournguage. Yan Su controlled her temper, as they were still on the stairs. Learn that from your sister.


    Learn what? How to give other people what they want? An Ning snorted coldly and said, Im sorry. Im not her. I dont like her way of doing things. If I met someone I like, Ill make an effort to win his heart. Why is it so hard for you to admit that you like Liuxi? At least I have the courage to say that I like him.


    Thats my business, and I dont need to tell you. Yan Su had very limited time, so she impatiently pushed An Ning away. An Ning staggered a few steps and then fell on the stairs. There were only two steps, but still, it caught many peoples attention.


    Yan Su paused briefly with surprise. Before she could react, An Ning had already burst into tears on the ground.


    Yan, I didnt do anything but ask if you like Liuxi. Why did you get so mad at me? It really hurts My ankle is twisted.


    Hearing her, some people quickly came downstairs, pointed at Yan Su and whispered to each other. She was a public figure, so people looked at her in shock.


    An Ning, you fell off the stairs yourself. Yan Su hadnt been through anything like that before. She rarely argued with people. Even after she became popr, she kept a low profile. For a moment, she wondered if she had pushed An Ning too hard, but soon she told herself that she did not.


    An Ning looked at her with a shocked face and tearful eyes. Why would I frame you? You were my idol the whole time. Are you jealous of me because Ive been in Liuxis t taking care of him?


    Yan Su prepared to say something else, but her phone rang. She hurriedly answered the call. It was Jiaojiao telling her to move faster.


    Guys, help me. I cant get up, An Ning asked for the others for help.


    Whats going on? Yan Su pushed her downstairs, but wouldnt even help her up, someone whispered.


    Exactly. I heard that Yan Su likes Mo Liuxi, and so does this girl. This girl has been to Mo Liuxis t. It soundsplicated.

 Chapter 1079. Two Women Were Two Fighting Over You

    Chapter 1079. Two Women Were Two Fighting Over You


    Whats going on? Jiaojiao heard loud arguing voices from the side.


    Seeing that more and more people wereing out from both upstairs and downstairs, and there were some people taking photos, Yan Su felt a headache. Come up, I have a problem.


    From the looks of it, An Ning was nning to besmirch her character. As a public figure, Yan Su was not in a position to start arguing with her. Although she was popr, there were a good number of people from school who were jealous of her.


    In addition, she would be too embarrassed to discuss her rtionship in a public setting. She was not in a good position to defend herself, and An Ning waspletely shameless.


    Yan Su stayed on her phone. An Ning had already been helped up by somebody.


    I think you should be sent for a check-up at the infirmary. No matter if she had fallen on purpose or by ident, Yan Su still tried to be diplomatic.


    Who knew that An Ning would look at her with red-rimmed eyes and continue to say in a choking voice, Yan, I just want to ask you, why did you push me, was it because of Liuxi?


    The crowd around them got noisy.


    What? Yan Su likes Mo Liuxi? My goodness.


    Speaking of which, I saw this girl delivering food to Mo Liuxi every day. Did Yan Su do this because she was feeling unhappy about it?


    You really cant tell from her looks.


    Another wave of discussion sounded. Yan Su couldnt take it anymore. An Ning, if you try to besmirch my character again, I can hire awyer.


    Go ahead. Anyways, you are a public figure, a hot-shot celebrity, while I am just an ordinary student. An Ning gave a pitiful smile.


    Yan Su had seen her fair share of unique people in her lifetime, but she had never seen someone like An Ning.


    She couldnt straighten this out herself, so she decided to call Luosang. Give me An Lans number.


    Whats wrong? Luosang was surprised. Did something troublesome happen?


    After all, thatwyer An Lan


    Its nothing much, but give me her number, Yan Su replied vaguely.


    Luosang found An Lans number and sent it over. Yan Su immediately dialed An Lans number. Lawyer An, Im Yan Su. Your sister and I have had some conflict in school. Pleasee over.


    Oh, all right. An Lan was bemused, but she still agreed.


    An Ning watched her make the call. When she was done, An Lan said with a sad smile, Its no use. Even if you call my sister over, you still pushed me, so you have to apologize to me. Dont think that I am easy to bully because youre a hotshot celebrity.


    Su, whats going on? Right at that moment, Jiaojiao squeezed to the front with a security guard.


    Yan Su roughly exined the situation to her in a low voice. Jiaojiaos expression was heavy. Get into the car and go to the airport first. Ill follow you after settling the business here.


    Yan Su nodded and said to An Ning: Im not going to change my statement, I didnt push you. You chased Mo Liuxi with all your might but in the end, you still couldnt get him. Dont push that me on me. Also, dont view anyone close to Mo Liuxi as a hindrance. My junior, youre still so young and yet you are already so cunning. You really make people feel that youre frightening.


    When she finished, Yan Su left without turning back.


    Jiaojiao sent An Ning to the infirmary.


    Not long after, An Lan came over as well. When An Ning saw her, An Ning immediatelyunched into her embrace in tears. Sister, youre awyer. You have to uphold justice for me. She really did push me, or else I wouldnt have lost my bnce. If you dont believe me, you can look at the surveince tapes.


    Jiaojiao said coldly, Yan Su said that she had needed to leave urgently, but you were blocking her way. She wanted to push you aside, but you fell down by yourself. She didnt use any strength at all.


    She knows the truth in her heart, An Ning retaliated.


    Thats enough. An Lan cut her off with a cold expression. An Ning, havent I told you that you cant force things like feelings? Your usual antics in school, chasing him and causing small annoyances, can be forgiven since you have the right to chase him. But you even went over to his house. If any woman gets close to him, or has a scandal with him, you would go and find the woman. ording to thew, your behavior can constitute harassment.


    After being stunned for a moment, An Ning started crying angry tears. Sister, how can you say this about me? Youre my biological sister, and yet you dont help me but side with the outsider. Is it because she is Xu Luosangs good friend and youre afraid of offending Nian Junting?


    An Lan was so angry that she was at a loss for words. If An Ning wasnt her sister, she really didnt want to bother.


    An Ning, am I that kind of person? Im saying this because you are in the wrong!


    I didnt do anything wrong; she pushed me. An Ning insisted and said pitifully, But Im all right if she refuses to apologize. However, I must tell you that she isnt simple. Back then, I had almost got Mo Liuxi to go out with me, but she said bad things about me to Mo Liuxi behind my back. I know all of that.


    Jiaojiao was so incredulous that sheughed. Our Yan Su is famous for her good temper. An Ning, if this matter blows up, ourpany will sue you for nder. If nothing gets out, on the ount of your sister, we can let this matter go.


    When she was done, she took out a thousand dors and ced them on the desk. This is for the medical fees. After all, your acting was so good, and you made such a desperate attempt, its reprehensible if we dont give you this.


    When she finished, Jiaojiao left.


    Sister, look at how arrogant they are An Ning tagged An Lan.


    An Lans head hurt. She didnt feel it earlier, but since An Ning fell for Mo Liuxi, she really wanted to throw her own sister into a river to wake her up.


    Wasnt it just some rtionship problem? She courted him and he didnt like her back. She should just let it be. Why drag it out?


    Mo Liuxi only found out about this when school was about to end. A schoolmate came to talk to him. My goodness Liuxi! You are the talk of the school now. Two women were two fighting over you, and one of them is even the belle of our school.


    The silhouette that originally nned to pack-up and leave paused immediately. He turned around to looks at his schoolmate. Who are you talking about?


    Yan Su and An Ning. The girl that used toe and find you here all the time, the schoolmate said. I heard that Yan Su pushed her down the stairs.


    Was she handicapped?


    The schoolmate was stunned for a moment. That didnt happen.


    Why not? Mo Liuxi asked coldly.


    Because the stairs arent very high? said the schoolmate.


    Mo Liuxiughed coolly. That might be because she fell down on purpose.


    The schoolmate suddenly didnt know what to say. Im not not too sure. Anyways, the whole school is talking about this now. Everyone says that Yan Su likes you, and then she did this out of jealousy. They say that Yan Su uses her poprity to bully her juniors.


    Mo Liuxis handsome face clouded over. He didnt say anything but quickly turned around and walked out. After finding out where An Ning was headed to, he sped walked to the infirmary.


    Just then, he bumped into An Lan supporting An Ning.


    Liuxi you came. A smile immediately appeared on An Nings face when she saw him. Did you hear about the matter between me and Yan.

 Chapter 1080. Look At Your Ugly Face

    Chapter 1080. Look At Your Ugly Face


    Before she could finish, Mo Liuxi grabbed her arm and dragged her toward a nearby building.


    Liuxi, what are you doing? Let me go! It hurts. An Ning who had an injured ankle couldnt take it. She screamed in pain, Sister, help me!


    An Lan was stunned. She quickly caught up with Mo Liuxi and said, Liuxi


    This is between us. Donte, and dont worry. I wont kill her, Mo Liuxi said, then walked upstairs inrge steps.


    An Lan hesitated, then decided to let him do what he wanted.


    She had spent some time with Mo Liuxi and learned that he was a mature boy. She was also aware that her sister was spoiled by her parents.


    It seemed that Mo Liuxi was going to teach her a lesson. It was a good thing. An Ning would get scared and finally stop bothering him.


    Mo Liuxi dragged her upstairs, pointed at the long stairs and said coldly, Dont you like pretending to fall off stairs? If Yan Su pushed you, the stairs you fell off were definitely not long enough. How about these stairs? Ill pay for the medical cost if you end up disabled.


    He pushed An Ning after he finished talking.


    An Ning didnt dare to fall off such long stairs. She held Mo Liuxisp tight, screaming, Liuxi, stop joking! I didnt pretend! Yan Su really pushed me.


    Mo Liuxi bent over, lowered his head, patted her face with a frosty look and said, An Ning, every time I see you, I detest you more. Who do you think you are? How can youpare yourself with Yan Su? Im telling you. Im pursuing Yan Su but havent managed to win her heart. Why would she be jealous of you? Look at your ugly face. What the hell did I do in my previous life to deserve your fondness in this life?


    His icy cold look and words made An Ning shiver.


    She didnt expect Mo Liuxi to like Yan Su.


    Liuxi, Im already yours


    Before she finished, Mo Liuxi held her hair and dragged her up from the ground and said, I might have believed you before, but youve been hovering around my head like a fly. Ive been suspecting that it wasnt you that night. Who knows if you didnt sneak in and lie by my side afterward? If you really want to make this big and call me ungrateful, fine, youll get mywyers letter. People will know how you took advantage of me while I was drunk. Everybody knows that youve been stalking me. I wont call for an end until you paid me a huge sum of money aspensation. Im not joking. You better give it a try. Your future will be ruined for good, and youll be too ashamed to face anyone.


    An Nings scalp was numb. She didnt dare argue with him but screamed her sisters name with pain.


    An Lan heard her shrill screams and ran up. Mo Liuxi let her go. An Ning sat on the stairs.


    I spared you for the sake of your sister. Next time, Ill throw you downstairs, Mo Liuxi whispered in her ear coldly. He then straightened up and threw the lock of hair that he pulled off her head onto her face. After that, he rested his hands in his trousers pockets and left.


    An Ning was frozen with fear. Mo Liuxi had really scared her. She felt that her scalp didnt belong to her anymore.


    An Ning, I think you should stay away from him


    Before An Lan could finish, An Ning yelled at her saying, Why didnt youe up earlier? You should have stopped him!


    Dont you like him? I thought he wanted to talk to you alone. It was inappropriate for me toe. An Lan shrugged innocently.


    You didnt help me! Youre not my sister

 Chapter 1081. I Like It When Youre Bad Too

    Chapter 1081. I Like It When You''re Bad Too


    Singapore.


    During the evening, the nended, and Yan Su received a call from Mo Liuxi. Su, why didnt you tell me earlier about how An Ning was making trouble for you? I had to hear it from our schoolmates.


    Looks like it has already spread. Yan Su sighed. I was in a rush to catch my flight, so I asked Jiaojiao to stay behind to handle it. You really believe that I didnt push her?


    Between the two of us, do we still need to talk about trust? I know very well what kind of person you are. Anyways, so what if you did push her? Mo Liuxi said nonchntly. I like you, not your kindheartedness, I like it when youre bad too.


    Augh burst out from Yan Su. Im not bad at all, but your admirer is. Although she is still so young, she is already very cunning. Imagine what will happen when she enters the entertainment industry; thats too scary. I just wanted to push her away, but she fell down by herself, and now she has besmirched my reputation at school.


    Su, Im sorry Mo Liuxi was also frustrated. I dont know what kind of grudge exists between me and her, for her to decide to like me. Dont worry. When youre back, this matter will definitely be resolved.


    Handle it appropriately. Yan Su had no other choice. I cant talk right now. The person whos fetching me is here.


    Not long after Mo Liuxi hung up, he received a call from Luosang. I heard from the schools group chat that you and Yan Su are dating?


    Mo Liuxi frowned, but before he could speak, Luosang added, Theyre too ridiculous. Do people nowadays not take responsibility when spreading rumors?


    Mo Liuxi:


    Did Yan Su and him really look that ipatible to other people?


    I can understand, Luosang said. When I was in school and got a little close to any guy and exchanged a few words, others would say that I was dating that person. It is really annoying. Even more, you and Yan Su are the schools most popr guy and girl, so the two of you get even more attention.


    Yes, Mo Liuxi agreed in a low voice. It was An Ning who purposely maligned Yan Su.


    I know what kind of person Yan Su is. She never quarrels with anyone, and she keeps a low profile, Luosang said angrily. An Lan is quite a nice person. Why would she have this kind of sister? Luckily, you are not dating her, else that would be a disaster. She would be scarier than your brother-inw


    Xu Luosang, who are you talking about? Nian Juntings cold voice sounded suddenly from her end of the line.


    Luosang wasnt done talking when her handphone was snatched away.


    Nian Junting bent down to gently squeeze her cheeks. How am I scary?


    Im talking about the desire to monopolize. Luosang smile sheepishly. In the past, I was only exchanging homework with a guy and you immediately fought him. Do you remember?


    Dont speak rubbish. I have always been a gentle person who doesnt fight for no good reason. Nian Junting nced at her mildly.


    Luosang:


    There didnt seem to be any rtion between you and gentle, all right?


    Never mind. Bringing up old grudges with this kind of person would do nothing but make herself angrier.


    Speaking of which, havent you known An Lan for a long time? Have you met An Ning? Luosang asked curiously.


    Im not too sure. An Lan and I are only working partners. Nian Junting sat beside her proudly. Other than you, when ites to my personal life, women are just air.


    Luosang had no doubt it wasnt just ttery, as that could really be the case.

 Chapter 1082. Luo, Talk Nicely, Even Though Ive Been Spoiling You Recently

    Chapter 1082. Luo, Talk Nicely, Even Though I''ve Been Spoiling You Recently


    Luosang couldnt help but talk to Nian Junting about what happened at school. She looked like a sweet little girl. I didnt think shed be like this. How would people think if this got exaggerated by the media?


    Nian Junting stayed silent for a while, then responded with, Where did that rumore from? Is your brother dating Yan Su?


    Thats impossible, said Luosang without hesitation. Su hasnt gotten over herst rtionship yet. She wouldnt open herself up that easily. Besides, Liuxi isnt her type. I think she likes the romantic type, the ones who say sweet words.


    Are you talking about me? Nian Junting gave a big smile.


    Luosang blinked, turned and nced at him.


    There arent many of our kind left in the world. Nian Junting gently pulled her into his arms and let her leanfortably against his chest. Tell Yan Su, dont be too picky, or she might stay single her whole life. She even turned down my assistant. She really has poor taste of men.


    Luosangs mouth corners twitched slightly. In Nian Juntings eyes, no one but himself had good taste.


    Su is younger than me, she said. Whats the rush? She just started her career. Liuxi is handsome, but hes too proud and cold, not gentle and romantic enough.


    Youre probably wrong. Nian Junting couldnt help but say, Didnt you always say that I have low EQ? After we got together, my EQ became super high. Its not about EQ. Its about if you like that person enough. If he does like her, he will naturally be gentle and romantic. Your brother is not as handsome and mature as me, though.


    Can you notpliment yourself while depreciating the others? said Luosang through clenched teeth.


    I didnt. I was telling the truth. Nian Junting abruptly narrowed his eyes and continued with, What do you mean? Do you think that your brother is more mature and more handsome than me? Luo, talk nicely. Ive been spoiling you recently. Therere lines that we dont cross.


    You are the most handsome man in my world. Luosang hurriedly poked his forehead with a finger.


    Sometimes, men neededpliments, especially her Mr. Nian. She had be a fat and ugly pregnantdy, yet he never left her side. She was happy about that.


    You have good eyes. Nian Junting held her face and gave her a deep kiss. He didnt stop until her tongue was numb. Then again, what if your brother and Yan Su really got together?


    Luosang paused briefly, then replied with, Thatll be great. If those two got married, Ill be able to see Su all the time even after we graduate. Well be celebrating New Year together, and all the other festivals


    Forget it. Nian Junting held her tight. If she married Liuxi, youd be spending all the time with her instead of me.


    Luosangughed. How could he be jealous of Yan Su? Silly man.


    Singapore.


    Yan Su was heading to attend an award ceremony. At the ceremony, she needed to dance and sing. Apart from that, she would present an award to a Taiwanese singer.


    On Friday, the organizer drove her to the venue for rehearsal. It was a music event, so many of her friends were there. After rehearsal, they had dinner and went to karaoke.


    It was already 11:00 p.m. when she returned to the hotel.

 Chapter 1083. What Did I Come All This Way?

    Chapter 1083. What Did I Come All This Way?


    Near her room, a tall figure was walking back and forth. d in a light brown windbreaker, the cor that was turned up made him look especially tall and imposing. His arms were ced behind his back; a bunch of flowers could barely be seen.


    The more she looked, the more Yan Su felt that this man looked familiar, but she couldnt believe her eyes.


    It was until that point that her breath became lighter.


    Jiaojiao saw him as well and said, Isnt that


    Yan Su raised a finger to her lips, indicating to Jiaojiao not to finish the sentence.


    For the award ceremony, many singers who came to attend were arranged to stay in the hotel. It would be bad if they were to be seen.


    Jiaojiao immediately understood and opened the door to the room while pretending that she didnt see anything. Yan Su walked in, as did the tall figure, revealing a good-looking face.


    Why did youe? Yan Su was both surprised and shocked.


    When she texted him this afternoon, he was still at school.


    I missed you, so I came. Mo Liuxi looked at her intently, his voice so gentle as if it was dripping water.


    Yan Su blushed, as her heart picked up pace.


    Jiaojiao, who was listening beside them, had goosebumps all over. No wonder that Yan Su fell for this guy. This person, who was usually cold as ice to other people, was so warm to Yan Su that he could practically melt a person; he was not like himself anymore.


    Ill leave first. I wont disturb you guys anymore Jiaojiao walked to the door, and turned around again to ask, Mr. Mo, do you need me to reserve a room for you


    Theres no need, Mo Liuxi immediately replied. The impact of it shocked the other two people in the room until their hearts were thumping.


    Yan Sus eyes widened, and she stammered, I only have one bed


    Although the bed was very big, who knows what would happen.


    Its all right. Isnt there a sofa here? Mo Liuxi said. Lets not waste money. I want to keep my money for my future wife to spend.


    Jiaojiao:


    So shameless at such a young age. He would be unthinkable in the future.


    Yan Su coughed embarrassedly. Thats not very appropriate, is it? The sofa is too short, and your future wife wont miss the fees of a hotel room.


    That wont do. I dont like to use a womans money. Mo Liuxi ced the flowers down and started to take off his jacket. Im going to shower. After being on the ne all day, Im dead tired.


    Susu, Im going to leave now. The rest of the night might not have been appropriate for her to view, so Jiaojiao left quickly.


    After the door closed, there was only the two of them left. Yan Su felt that the temperature in the room was quite high, really high.


    Although the two of them often spent time alone at home, they always returned to their own house at night. It was totally different now.


    So, the two of them would be spending the night in the same room?


    Liuxi, I think you should


    Which one is your towel? I dont like to use the hotels towels. Its not very clean. Mo Liuxi said.


    Youre really going to sleep here tonight?


    Else? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows. Youre working all day tomorrow, and you cant spend time with me. I cant possiblye all the way here just to see you for this short while, then stay in a room by myself. I miss you Susu. Why do I miss you so much?


    He took a step forward and forcefully pulled her into his embrace. Only after kissing her soft lips hardly and thoroughly, did he start to undo his shirt.


    Watching him, Yan Sus heart skipped a beat. Her tongue, that was kissed until it was numb, also quivered. What are you doing?


    I want to Mo Liuxis lips curved at the corners sinisterly as he walked towards her. What do you think Im going to do? Why did Ie all this way?

 Chapter 1084. For My Dearest Su

    Chapter 1084. For My Dearest Su


    Yan Sus scalp went numb.


    When his chest was exposed bit by bit, her face turned as red as ripe strawberries. She didnt remember everything that happened that night but she did have some vague memories.


    She remembered how strong he was.


    Mo Liuxi took off his shirt and exposed his wide shoulders. Yan Su had seen his shoulders before when she sponge-bathed him, but that wasnt as near as stimting as this.


    Calm calm down Yan Su stuttered.


    She was drunk that night, but now, her mind was very clear and unprepared. She didnt even have any condoms.


    How can I stay calm? I cant. Mo Liuxi lowered his head and started unbuckling his belt. She had given him that belt. Against the brown belt, his slender and pretty fingers looked like the fingers of an artist.


    Yan Su couldnt help but stare at his fingers.


    The belt was unbuckled. His pants fell to the ground and exposed his long, straight and muscr legs. Yan Sus brain stopped working like a brokenputer.


    Noticing the look on her face, Mo Liuxi gave a wicked smile and said, Girl, I feet so hot right now. Im on fire.


    She didnt know what to say. Her body shivered slightly, growing hotter and hotter; she even started feeling thirsty.


    What was he doing next? He wouldnt take off all his clothes, would he?


    So Mo Liuxi slowly hooked the edge of his underwear with a finger and said, I have to take a shower.


    Yan Su didnt respond as she was a little confused. It was not like what she imagined.


    She raised her head and gawked at him.


    Dont you want me to take a shower? Are you disappointed? Mo Liuxi raised his brows. Or, were you thinking about something just now?


    What was she thinking about just now? Yan Su felt as if her brain was swelling.


    Mo Liuxi chuckled. He bent over and slowly put his face near hers and said, Do you think Ill ask you for sex tonight?


    Stop talking nonsense. Yan Su red at him with a burning face. I dont


    Good then. I was afraid that you might rape me. Mo Liuxi clicked his tongue, then started pulling his underwear down.


    Yan Su hurriedly closed her eyes. Next, she felt his warm lips against hers.


    Thinking that he might be naked, Yan Su was so nervous that even her teeth were shaking; her entire body was soft.


    Good girl, wait for me. Mo Liuxi smiled, then turned and headed toward the bathroom.


    Yan Su stood there and touched the corners of her lips. Both her heart and body had never been so hot.


    Bad boy.


    She touched her mouth again, recalling what had just happened. Somehow, she felt a little pity.


    She couldnt believe how dirty-minded she was. Hurriedly, she shook her head. Then, she bent over and picked up his shirt and pants. A little box from Bulgari dropped out of his pocket. She looked at it and easily recognized it as a ring box.


    She picked it up and opened it. It was a diamond ring, with the letter S on it. The letter was iid with tiny diamonds, looking exquisite and special.


    S was the first letter of her initials. Yan Su was slightly touched.


    There was a note in the boxFor my dearest Su. I hope to see you wearing it when Ie out of the shower.

 Chapter 1085. Youre So Naughty

    Chapter 1085. You''re So Naughty


    So, he did it on purpose.


    He purposely left his pants here for her to pick up, so that she would see the ring.


    Yan Sus heart felt unexinably warm. It was as if she drank a cup of honey; her whole body was ridiculously warm.


    When she first met him, she felt he was very annoying. It was after they had started dating that she knew; he was the type who would treat whoever he was with, extremely well. So, there could actually be so many surprises being with him.


    Even while overseas, each of these surprises were more impactful than the previous one; they moved her heart.


    She never even knew that dating could bring out so many different emotions. She carefully put the ring onto her middle finger. The fit was just right.


    She suddenly remembered that a few days ago, he grabbed her hand and was measuring it.


    The water sound from the bathroom stopped, and her heart started beating wildly. She looked at the ring on her hand and was a little nervous, also a little embarrassed.


    Mo Liuxi walked out with a towel around his waist as water dripped down his body. He wasnt especially muscr, but he didnt have an ounce of fat either. He had the lean build of a young man.


    Yan Sus face burned as she watched, and she hurriedly passed him a shirt and pants. Go put them on quickly.


    Mo Liuxi didnt move but looked at the sparkling diamond ring on her hand. Her hand was already very fair, and with the ring, it looked so pretty, as if it came straight out of a magazines front-page.


    He reached out his hand and held her wrist, pulling her with the clothes into his chest. His hand lightly caressed the ring on her hand. His lips curved up sexily. Youre wearing it?


    Yan Su red at him embarrassedly. You prepared this especially for me. How can I not wear it?


    Pretty. Mo Liuxi raised her fingers and lightly kissed the ring. As pretty as you are.


    Thank you. Yan Su lowered her head shyly and buried her face into his naked chest.


    His chest was hot, and she could still smell a faint scent of soap. it was so good that she became heady.


    Mo Liuxi was young and full of libido. How could he stand her gentle demeanor? Without another word, he lowered his head and deeply kissed the lips that he had kissed not long ago.


    It was as if he had tasted a delicious meal that he couldnt get enough of.


    The fiery kiss had Yan Sus whole body tingling, and with him only wearing a towel, she didnt know where else to put her hands but on his waist. Every inch of skin her hand touched made her heart race.


    In a daze, Mo Liuxi carried her onto therge bed, and her cheeks blushed. While they were entangled, his towel fell.


    Yan Su touched what she shouldnt have, and her heart raced. Your towel


    You took mine off. Mo Liuxi nipped her lips gently. Youre so naughty.


    I didnt. Yan Su was breathless from his kiss. Those were obviously her words; he was stealing her lines.


    Then, why did it fall? Naughty girl.


    He stole her line again.


    But now, she didnt dare open her eyes. She didnt want to believe that a beautiful man was lying on top of her. It was too enticing.


    But the beautiful man didnt seem to have ns to let her go. Youve seen all of me. Shouldnt you let me enjoy the same treatment?


    Mo Liuxi, youre being unsporting. Yan Sus face blushed as sheined.


    Im not. The proof is that I have no clothes on. Mo Liuxis lips quirked up after he said that and he kissed her until she had no strength left.

 Chapter 1086. Give It to Me, or Im Gonna Be Mad

    Chapter 1086. Give It to Me, or I''m Gonna Be Mad


    That night, that scenery, that air.


    Yan Su was immersed in the sweetness the ring brought her. Mo Liuxi came to her aggressively, and without preparing, she let him win.


    Their bodies pressed tightly against each other, like two peeled eggs. Before thest step, Mo Liuxi finally let her go.


    She quickly dragged over the sheet to wrap herself up, then ran into the bathroom.


    Mo Liuxi watched her run away, giving a cute and evil smile.


    In the bathroom, Yan Su looked at herself in the mirror.


    Her hair was messy, cheeks red, and lips swollen. Some kiss marks could be seen on her body.


    She couldnt believe the girl in the mirror was herself. If Mo Liuxi hadnt let her go at thest second, they might have crossed thest boundary. She didnt think they would go that far.


    When she decided to tell him the truth about the night they officially slept together, she had second thoughts. If she told him now, he might be angry and press her onto the bed.


    Yan Su was too shy to even re-live what happened just now. After the shower, she realized a problem.


    Earlier, she ran into the bathroom in a flurry, without bringing any clothes. Should she wrap herself up with the sheet again and go out?


    She could imagine Mo Liuxis gloating face.


    At that moment, Mo Liuxi knocked on the door.


    What? Yan Su was nervous.


    Your clothes. Dont you want them? said Mo Liuxi in a teasing tone.


    Yan Su felt embarrassed. It turned out that he had noticed it too. He didnt look through her suitcase, did he? Thinking of the clothes in her suitcase, Yan Sus cheeks burned.


    Still, she opened the door slightly and said to him, Give me my clothes.


    She looked outside the door. Mo Liuxi had already put on his pants. Her clothes were in his arms. Hearing her words, he gave a wicked smile and handed her a pair of ck panties.


    Yan Su was going crazy. Cant you give them all to me at once?


    No. Mo Liuxi handed her a ck bra with a finger and said, You look sexy in ck.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    She was wrong. She shouldnt have opened the door. She should just go out in the sheet.


    She attempted to close the door, but Mo Liuxi swiftly put a knee against the door. He smilingly dangled the bra in his hand and said, Dont you want it?


    Mo Liuxi, is this fun? Yan Su red at him, biting her lip. Her pink cheeks looked so lovely and not intimidating.


    All right, Ill stop. Mo Liuxi handed over her nightdress.


    Where is my bra? Yan Su said through clenched teeth with a low voice.


    I dont think you need it to sleep. Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows.


    The thin pink nightdress barely covered her body.


    Yan Su was almost losing her mind. She had no idea that he woulde here, so she only packed simple clothes to make the journey easier.


    If she knew that he would be there, she would have never packed the nightdress with the shoulder straps.


    Will it kill you to give it to me? Yan Su never found him so annoying.


    It might, said Mo Liuxi with an evil smile.


    Give it to me, or Im gonna be mad. Yan Su stomped her foot.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxi handed her the bra. Yan Su red at him, then mmed the door shut.

 Chapter 1087. That Was the Sweetest Thing She Ever Heard

    Chapter 1087. That Was the Sweetest Thing She Ever Heard


    Mo Liuxi looked at the door delightedly.


    He never noticed it before, but he now found her look adorable, even when she was angry.


    Five minutester, Yan Su came out of the bathroom. She didnt look at him, but took out her skin products from her suitcase, and started her skincare process.


    Mo Liuxi quietly sat by her side.


    He carefully looked at every product she used, and also checked all her lipsticks and foundations.


    What are you doing? Yan Su wasnt going to talk to him but couldnt help it; his behavior aroused her curiosity.


    Im memorizing these brands. I want to buy you the beauty products you like, Mo Liuxi responded, sounding very reasonable.


    Yan Su was slightly mad at him, but now, she couldnt pretend to be angry anymore.


    What should she do?


    He could be so annoying some times, but so sweet other times.


    This face cream is running out. Ill get some for you tomorrow. I have nothing to do anyway, Mo Liuxi said with a smile. Maybe I can get you something better. Something that can allow you to have a twenty-year-old face when you turn thirty.


    Yan Sus hands trembled slightly. She found his sweet words irresistible.


    Will you like me less when Im older? Im three years older than you, so Ill definitely age faster than you. Guys age slowly.


    After saying that out loud, Yan Su really started to worry.


    Almost every woman worried about this, not to mention the fact that Mo Liuxi was younger than her.


    No. Mo Liuxi gently put his head against her shoulder and said, I think youll be even more charming when youre older. Youll be smart, wise and sexy in your thirties, elegant in your forties, mature in your fifties, super-attractive in your sixties, and my favorite in your seventies.


    Yan Su blushed, as her eyes popped and her mouth opened in shock.


    That was the sweetest thing she ever heard.


    She hurriedly turned to look at him and touched his forehead. Are you still the sharp-tongued Mo Liuxi? Or are you possessed by some kind of spirit?


    Mo Liuxi raised his brows, took her hand off his head and said, My mom told me that. I guess thats what she wants for herself. She finds herself elegant now, but I dont think so.


    Aunty Mo is elegant, Yan Su said.


    Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile and responded with, What did the word elegant ever do to you?


    Yan Su felt a little speechless. Thats not a nice thing to say about your mother she thought.


    But I think what she said is what every girl wants. Mo Liuxi put his arms around Yan Sus waist and continued with an intimate tone saying, In fact, I didnt want to answer your question with words. I prefer to answer it with my whole life. I wanted to give you an answer when Im old.


    After saying that, he looked at her affectionately.


    Yan Su couldnt stay calm and continued her skincare process. Her heart was thumping and she didnt know what to say.


    After all, she wasnt as good at sweet-talking as he was. When his kissnded on her lips, she closed her eyes to respond to him. Soon, she felt that her body was being lifted. Her ck shiny hair drooped loosely like a beautiful waterfall. Mo Liuxi carried her to the bed and said, Its gettingte. Lets sleep.


    Yan Su was dumbfounded.

 Chapter 1088. Whats the Point of Me Sleeping on the Couch?

    Chapter 1088. What''s the Point of Me Sleeping on the Couch?


    She wanted very much to ask him if he meant the normal kind of sleep, or the kind that required people to get naked.


    She didnt have the answer until Mo Liuxi put her on the bed and settled her head on the pillow. It turned out to be the first kind of sleep. But why did he put his own head on the other pillow?


    Arent you sleeping on the couch? Yan Su asked.


    Mo Liuxizily closed his eyes, turned and showed her his delicate face. Ive kissed and touched and seen almost every corner of your body. Whats the point of me sleeping on the couch?


    So were sleeping together tonight, Yan Su thought. Her cheeks had turned red.


    If she knew that, she would fight harder to guard herself, and not let him kiss and touch and see her body.


    How was she supposed to fall asleep under such a sudden situation?


    Mo Liuxi turned off the light, then turned to her and held her in his arms. Under the quilt, he coiled his legs around hers. Yan Su felt their legs entangled together. In less than one minute, his hand suddenly went down from her neck.


    Yan Su froze. She said with a trembling voice, What are you doing? I need to dance and sing tomorrow. Can you please stop?


    If she had sex tonight, she would wake up with limp and sore limbs tomorrow. She wouldnt be able to dance and she was already not good at dancing.


    I know. Do I look like such an unthoughtful guy? In the darkness, Mo Liuxi blinked his bright eyes and stared at her.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    What is your hand doing then, she thought.


    Su, you really have a dirty mind. Im surprised, Mo Liuxi said evilly.


    Yan Su wanted to kick him off the bed.


    He sped her even tighter with his legs.


    She was in her nightdress. Now, the dress had rolled up, and their bare skin were pressed tightly against each other. Yan Su sensed the change of his body and didnt dare to make any other movements.


    Good girl. In the darkness, Mo Liuxis voice sounded very deep, gentle and attractive. Its unhealthy to sleep in your bra. You might get breast hypersia, or even breast cancer.


    You are so knowledgeable, Yan Su said through gritted teeth.


    Sure. I read it in a book. In order to take off your bra tonight, Ive googled why women should not one. Finally, I found a fair reason. Mo Liuxi chuckled.


    Yan Sus cheeks burned.


    Do you have to be so honest? she thought.


    Mo Liuxi didnt kiss her, but after taking off her bra, his hands never rested for a second. About seven minutester, he dove under the quilt.


    Yan Su bit her fingers to keep herself quiet. Two minutester, her nightdress fell onto the carpet from the bed. She couldnt help but let weak moans escape her throat.


    Smiling, Mo Liuxi crawled out of the quilt and stared at her with scorching hot eyes. Su, do you want it?


    Yan Su wanted to cry.


    Mo Liuxi kissed her lips quickly and said, Good girl. Live with it, like what I always do.


    Yan Su felt speechless. Would a normal man ever say something like that? What a freak.


    Yan Su used to sleep well, but that night, her sleep was taken away. Being held made her feel strange. She couldnt help but twist her body a little bit. Maintaining the same posture was ufortable.


    Mo Liuxi guessed how she felt. He let go of her, but she still turned very carefully on the bed.

 Chapter 1089. I Forgot to Give You a Good Morning Kiss

    Chapter 1089. I Forgot to Give You a Good Morning Kiss


    Cant you sleep? he asked her.


    Em, Yan Su responded with a muffled voice.


    After all, she never slept with a man except for that time when she was super drunk. The man on her bed was nearly naked, and that made her nervous.


    Is this your first time sharing a bed with a man? Mo Liuxi chuckled.


    Yan Su felt embarrassed.


    Good girl. Youll get used to this. Mo Liuxi rubbed her hair.


    Yan Su stayed silent. Hes not going to sleep with her every night, is he? She had too many thoughts in her head, so she didnt fall asleep until 3:00 a.m.


    The next day, she was woken up from a deep sleep by Mo Liuxi. Good girl, Jiaojiao called.


    Yan Su opened her drowsy eyes. She saw a pretty boy whose hair was slightly messy, and his upper body was bare. He was sitting on her bed, looking at her, stroking her forehead.


    Her brain wasnt working at all. She thought she was in a dream. It took her a while to recall what happenedst night.


    She sprung up from the bed and blushed, even though the night had passed. What time is it?


    Nine.


    Mo Liuxi prepared her dress, then squeezed toothpaste on her toothbrush. Yan Su washed up and put on the dress. She even asked Mo Liuxi to zip her up.


    At half-past nine, Jiaojiao arrived. She nced at the messy bed and the two pillows which were both clearly used. Yan Su noticed where her eyes went but pretended nothing had happened. Still, she felt very awkward.


    Jiaojiao ordered breakfast for two from the hotel. Yan Su had breakfast together with Mo Liuxi, then prepared to leave with Jiaojiao. Before she left, Mo Liuxi went back into the bedroom and said to her, Ill go shopping this afternoon, then fly back to China. Im not flying to Guangzhou tomorrow with you because youre going home tomorrow night anyway.


    He was also a public figure now, so following her around was a little inconvenient.


    After leaving the room, Jiaojiao sighed. He took a five-hour flight here only to spend a night with you. Im impressed. What a passionate boy in love.


    Yan Su was touched as well. Before, she always flew for hours to see Shi Xiang in another city. Many times, she didnt get to see him because he said that he was busy, and she had to fly all the way back home.


    Thinking back, she realized how silly she was before. It turned out that being loved felt so great. Of course, she cherished all that Mo Liuxi had given her. She was once in his ce. What he did, touched her more deeply than it could ever touch other girls.


    Jiaojiao, wait here for a second. I forgot something in the room, she said.


    Jiaojiao paused briefly, trying to figure Yan Su out. Be quick, she said.


    Yan Su took out the card key and returned to the room. Mo Liuxi heard the noise from the door, so he lifted a corner of the quilt and said, Did you forget something?


    Yeah. Yan Su walked to the bed, bent over, lowered her head, kissed him on the lips, then said, I forgot to give you a good morning kiss.


    Mo Liuxis eyes popped. That was only a small kiss, but she rarely made that kind of romantic move. He was stunned for a few seconds.


    A few secondster, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, kissed her lipstick off her lips, then put his forehead against hers, breathing heavily. Good girl. If you dont leave now, I might lose control of myself.


    Yan Su blushed a scarlet color. She said in a low voice, Liuxi, thank you for flying all the way here to keep mepany.

 Chapter 1090. Why Didnt You Come to Me?

    Chapter 1090. Why Didn''t You Come to Me?


    I thought something serious happened, Mo Liuxi tittered. Youre my girlfriend. Isnt this what I should do?


    Youre right. Yan Sus heart leaped slightly. Im leaving. Be careful on your way home.


    Em. Mo Liuxiy on the bed and hooked her fingers with his.


    For a moment, Yan Su wanted to abandon the rest of the world and stay in the hotel with him.


    As she left the room again, Jiaojiao looked at her with a mysterious smile and said, You left your heart in there, didnt you?


    While speaking, she handed Yan Su a mirror, then pointed at her lips and said, You lost your lipstick.


    Yan Su blushed.


    Jiaojiao smiled and said, I understand. Id be touched too if my boyfriend flew all the way here to spend a night with me and brought me a ring as a gift.


    Yan Su clenched her finger which the ring was on and said, You noticed?


    Of course. Im your assistant. Dont I know whats been added to you? Jiaojiao said. But, if the media and Miss Xiang ask about it, you should tell them that you bought it for yourself.


    Yan Su nodded.


    And, did you use protectionst night? Jiaojiao whispered. You cant get pregnant now. Youre going to have a solo concert next year. No idents are allowed.


    We didnt do itst night, Yan Su responded awkwardly.


    No way. Jiaojiao didnt believe her. You are young and energetic. Can you possibly lie together on a bed without?


    We are young and innocent, said Yan Su with her red cheeks.


    Jiaojiao sighed. Young people in pure love are rare nowadays


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    Somehow, she suddenly felt ack of confidence about it.,


    She had a busy day. In the afternoon, she received some messages from Mo Liuxi. He bought her a bag, the brand of face cream she used, and two lipsticks that he thought would be nice on her.


    Yan Su felt sweet and warm. She checked his messages from time to time, her face wearing a happy smile.


    Jiaojiao had to remind her to manage her expression and avoid silly smiles.


    After the ceremony, she flew to Guangzhou and her ne arrived in the middle of the night. She attended a fashion show, then immediately flew back to Xia City.


    Its gonna be Christmas in a few days. This is the list of people who will be performing together with you. Jiaojiao handed over her phone.


    The list was from Director Li. Li Ming, Ye Yunyang, and Cheng Cheng would all be in the show. Ji Nuanyi and Shi Xiang werent on the list.


    Youlle on the stage in three groups. You and Mo Liuxi together. Jiaojiao smiled mysteriously. The TV station made this arrangement. You two look like a sweet couple so this will be good for your poprity. Think about your selection of songs. You have to sing for real, or its gonna affect your reputation. Mr. Mo should be good at singing anyway since he has a beautiful voice.


    Yan Su didnt respond.


    It turned out that she wasnt the only one who had that kind of misunderstanding about Mo Liuxi.


    She returned to her t, dropped her luggage, and nned to take a shower. Before she had a chance, her doorbell rang. Mo Liuxi stood at her door with some shopping bags at his feet. With discontent, he folded his arms, looked at Yan Su and said, Why didnt youe to me when you came back?


    I wanted to take a shower first, Yan Su said. How did you know that I was back? I just got in. Have you installed a surveince camera at my door?

 Chapter 1091. She Never Received Such Expensive Gifts From a Man

    Chapter 1091. She Never Received Such Expensive Gifts From a Man


    Mo Liuxi nced at her and said, I can see your bathroom from my guest room. You turned on your bathroom light once you got back.


    No wonder he rang her doorbell once she turned on the light. He was really fast. You havent been staying in the guest room the whole time just to wait for me, have you?


    Yeah, I was reading the script in that room, said Mo Liuxi.


    Hearing that, Yan Su felt warm in her heart. Dont wait for me in the guest room again. Next time Ill text you when Im downstairs.


    All right. Mo Liuxi threw the shopping bags on her couch and said, I got these for you in Singapore.


    Yan Su opened the bags and saw purses, clothes, makeup, and shoes, all from luxurious brands. The gifts must have cost him over a hundred thousand yuan.


    Liuxi, you didnt need to buy me so many things. They are too expensive. After all, youre still a student, Yan Su said. Ive never received such expensive gifts from a man.


    Mo Liuxi opened his mouth wide and looked at her with a shocked face. Yan Su, was yourst rtionship even real? Shi Xiang is a popr singer. Lets not talk about his other ies. He can earn at least ten-million by endorsing one brand. Didnt he buy you any gifts like these?


    He spent a long time shopping for gifts for her in Singapore. He thought that Shi Xiang must have bought her some nice things, and he wanted to give her something even better. What she told him was unexpected.


    Yan Su exined embarrassedly saying, We were both young when we first got together. We didnt have jobs or money, so we didnt buy each other many gifts. Later on, Shi Xiang got rich. He sent me WeChat red envelopes sometimes. I took the small ones and rejected the ones over one-thousand yuan. As for gifts we didnt have much chance to see each other, so we didnt send each other any big gifts. He bought me some small gifts, like nes, but not many.


    Before, Shi Xiang told her that he didnt want hispany to find out about their rtionship. Now, she knew that he just didnt want that so-called Young Mistress to find out.


    Mo Liuxi frowned slightly. He couldnt help but rub her hair and say to her, Yan Su, you were so silly. What did you like about him? I cant believe he treated you like that. Cant you be a little more materialistic? Do you know what good men are like? A poor man whos willing to give you thest five yuan is good; a rich man whos willing to spend all his money on you is also good. But of course, the former wont be a good choice. Money isnt the most important thing, but why would a man be with a woman if he has no money? To drag her into a hole? To ask her to live a poor life with him? I wouldnt have pursued you if I had no money.


    It was the first time Yan Su heard those kind of words from a man. She was surprised. Liuxi, youre so special, she said. Normally, guys will say to the girl they like that theyd work hard to earn money. Isnt that right?


    Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile and said, Thats easy to say, but hard to do. Some people work hard their whole lives but still make no money. Look at your soft hands and smooth skin. You can now use the skincare products that are worth thousands, but if you married a poor man, you might be only able to afford the cheapest kind. You can wear pretty clothes now, but with a poor man, youd be stuck with cheap things. Youd be an unattractive middle-ageddy. If I love a girl, I wouldnt make her live a poor life with me. But of course, thats just my way.

 Chapter 1092. Warm My Bed, or I Might Get Cold

    Chapter 1092. Warm My Bed, or I Might Get Cold


    Yan Su was stunned. The two of them rarely spoke about that kind of topic. Only after hearing what he said, did she learn a little about what kind of person he really was.


    But Liuxi, the way you think doesnt provide me with a sense of security, Yan Su said with a low voice. You are rich and capable now, but life isnt always as right as rain. If you fell into a difficult situation, would you abandon me? Have you ever thought that even if you had nothing, Id still be with you willingly? I dont care if Im going to turn into an unattractive middle-aged woman or wear cheap clothes. I wont leave you for that reason, because thats not who I am. I always envy the kind of couples who share all the best of their lives and face all the hardness together too.


    Mo Liuxis breath turned shallow. He pressed his lips together, looking at her quietly. A short whileter, he nodded and said, Su, youre a nice person. Shi Xiang is such a fool that he missed you. Try on the clothes I got you.


    Yan Su tried on everything he bought. She understood that if she refused to try them on, he might be disappointed.


    After that, Yan Su went for a shower.


    After the shower, she was stunned to see Mo Liuxi lying on her bed in his pajamas.


    What are you


    Its not like we never slept together before. You should have gotten used to this. Mo Liuxizilyid under her quilt and said, Su, your bed smells nice.


    Yan Su opened her mouth in shock. She couldnt believe that he had invaded her bedroom, only because they had slept together once.


    Are we living together now? Yan Su stuttered to ask.


    But Su, I think we should sleep in my bedroom, said Mo Liuxi. Your bed is only like a meter and half wide, right? Its so small, and so is your room. Why dont you move into my sisters room? Shes gonna have a baby next month so I think she wonte back.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    He not only asked to move in with her but was also picky about the room. She had no ns to start living with a man by the end of the year.


    Eh Liuxi, I think Im used to having my own independent space. I think the way we were is good.


    Su, will you get married? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Yan Su nodded.


    Since you are getting married, youll live with someone sooner orter. You might as well get used to that in advance. Mo Liuxi turned around, blinked his charming eyes and continued with, You see, the winter hase. The weather is getting cold. We dont have central heat in Xia City. Sleeping alone is too cold. Ill warm your bed every single day. Its not that I have to sleep with you, Im just worried that you may catch a cold.


    Yan Su started wondering why Mo Liuxi was turning more and more shameless from a nice boy.


    Thank you, she said. But I got through all the winters in my life by sleeping alone. The winters in my hometown are much colder than the winters here. I never caught a cold, so Im pretty healthy.


    In this case, please warm my bed. I might catch a cold, Mo Liuxi said. Im weak.


    Yan Su was speechless. He was a strong boy and he ate tons of snacks every day. He was not weak.


    It turned out that sleeping together was something that would never stop after they slept together the first time.


    Su, you have three choices, Mo Liuxi said. One, sleep in my bedroom with me, two, sleep here with me, or three, sleep on both sides with me.

 Chapter 1093. Yan Su Tried Very Hard to Keep Herself From Kicking Him off the Bed

    Chapter 1093. Yan Su Tried Very Hard to Keep Herself From Kicking Him off the Bed


    His bossy tone made Yan Su roll her eyes.


    She clenched her teeth and said helplessly, All right, well sleep at your ce. You go first. Ill be there after I shower. My bed is too small for two people.


    She nned to lock her door up and not open it after he left.


    All right. Mo Liuxi got up from the bed and said, Since we have agreed on us living together, I should have a key for this ce, or its gonna be inconvenient for me.


    Yan Su didnt respond.


    If she gave him a key, how would she shut him out?


    In fact, thendlord only gave us two keys. I have one, and your sister has the other one.


    All right, give me yours then. Ill make a copy tomorrow. Mo Liuxi reached out a hand toward her. Ill give it back to you tomorrow morning, before youe home.


    Yan Su stayed silent again.


    As she didnt respond, Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes and said, Youre not trying to trick me, are you?


    How can that be possible? Yan Su turned and said, Forget it. Stay if you want. Im going to shower.


    Make yourself clean. Ill be waiting on the bed. Mo Liuxiid back down, and also pulled his pajama pants down to make himself look extra sexy and attractive.


    Yan Su staggered slightly. She felt as if she had a pretty boy hidden in her t now. Thinking that a beautiful man was lying on her bed, Yan Su sighed during the shower.


    His lips would be all over her body again. What should she do? She was so tired. She barely got any rest on the nest night.


    Forty minutester, Yan Su dried her hair and came out of the bathroom in a dark-brown pajama suit. Hearing the noises she made, Mo Liuxi raised his head expectantly, but then said with disappointment, This one is not as pretty as the one you wore yesterday. Why are you dressing like an olddy? Go and get changed.


    Yan Su didnt say anything. She picked the most old-style pajamas from her closet on purpose. Why should she dress sexy? She had no ns to seduce him anyway.


    And he talked to her in that bossy tone again. She wasnt wearing the pajamas for him.


    Yan Su ignored him and picked up her phone; she sat down on the other side of the bed. Mo Liuxi moved to her, pulled her pajama top, blinked and said, Just get changed.


    Yan Su tried very hard to keep herself from kicking him off the bed. Were not in the hotel, she said. The hotel room has central air-conditioning but we dont. Plus, it was warm in Singapore. How can I wear so little here? Do you want me to catch a cold?


    Youre right. Thats why I said we should sleep at my ce. I have central air-conditioning, Mo Liuxi said. We wont get cold if we decided to do something else.


    Yan Su kicked him and said, Go back there if your ce is so nice. Id be happy to have some peace and quiet.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxi finally stopped talking. Yan Su sat on the bed, reading the news on her phone.


    Lately, the legal fight between Shi Xiang and his Koreanpany had made big news in the entertainment circle. Shi Xiang appealed directly to Seoul Court, citing thepanys unreasonable ie distribution and using it of forbidding him to expand his career in China.


    Shi Xiang had a lot of fans in China. All his fans had been speaking for him and criticizing thepany online.


    Mo Liuxi nced at the screen of Yan Sus phone, snorted and said, Theyre all like this. At first, theyd do anything thepany wants as long as thepany promises to make them stars. When they be stars, they have all kinds ofints. No matter how much thepany might promise him about ie distribution, he wont stay. Many TV shows and advertising agencies in the country have offered him big money. The Korean market hasnt been attractive to him for a while.


    It seems like you know everything. Yan Su looked at him questioningly.

 Chapter 1094. Yan Su Was Slightly Upset

    Chapter 1094. Yan Su Was Slightly Upset


    Mo Liuxi smiled and said, I heard from some friends that apany offered him five hundred million. Theyre also willing to pay the penalty for him to the Koreanpany.


    Yan Su was shocked. She sighed. Hes worth so much more money than I am.


    Also, the years best male singer award thatll be presented in Hong Kong at the end of this year will probably be his. I heard that his team in China has been working on it already. Mo Liuxi added, The winners of this award are all decided internally. I guess Shi Xiang intended to terminate his contract with the Koreanpany since long ago. His team is very capable, which indicates that he has been secretly preparing for a long time.


    Yan Su was a little disappointed. People no longer won prizes with their abilities. What about me? she said. What award do I have?


    Mo Liuxi turned, grinned at her and said, What award do you want? Ill give you anything you want.


    Yan Su paused briefly, then smiled. Whatever. I only want to win the awards that I truly deserve. If not, Id rather not have it.


    Su, you are an honest person. Mo Liuxi took away her phone, threw it to the side and said, Come on. Stop reading news about that person. Come and be with me.


    After saying that, he dragged her into the warm bed.


    Su, you see, sleeping together is nice, isnt it? Youre warm now. Mo Liuxi looked at her smilingly.


    Yan Su wasnt acting silly. She tried to pop her head out of the quilt, yet Mo Liuxi dragged her back in and kissed her passionately.


    There wasnt much air under the quilt. She felt it was hard to breathe. Yan Su finally made her way out, yet Mo Liuxi stayed under.


    He enjoyed making out with her under the covers and he didnt want her to be cold. But this time, he did something new.


    Yan Su couldnt stand it. Unwittingly, she put her fingers through his hair and grasped the sheet with the other hand.


    Many times, she thought Mo Liuxi was going to prate her. However, he didnt. Her mind was muddled when it stopped; her skin was covered in sweat.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her red cheeks and grinned. Look at you. We didnt even do it. I wonder whatll happen when we do.


    Yan Su wanted to cry. She honestly admired Mo Liuxi for his self-control. Normally, it would be the man who struggled to control himself under that kind of situation. Why was she having such a hard time now?


    If she hadnt had sex with him before, she would think that he might have some problems.


    Ah, so tired. Lets sleep Mo Liuxi let out a shallow breath, thenid by her side.


    Yan Su sighed. She was the one who was exhausted and felt slightly upset, in an indescribable way.


    As she closed her eyes, Mo Liuxi opened his eyes with a cunning smile. He did what he did on purpose. He wouldnt have sex with her until she couldnt help but ask for it. Based on her reaction, that day woulde soon.


    Once again, Yan Su didnt sleep well. The bed was too small. She usually rolled all over the bed at night. Now, Mo Liuxi had taken up half of the bed, so she couldnt even turn her body.


    Mo Liuxi slept hard. The next day, he got up and sighed. I suddenly realized that small beds are better for couples because they can stay close to each other. Sleeping in your room is the right choice.


    No, please no, Yan Su cried in her heart.


    Eh Lets sleep in your ce tonight. Yan Su gave up on fighting. Id like more space, so I can roll on the bed.

 Chapter 1095. Liuxi, Dont You Think That Youre More and More Like Your Brother-in-Law?

    Chapter 1095. Liuxi, Don''t You Think That You''re More and More Like Your Brother-in-Law?


    After breakfast, Yan Su prepared to leave for school. Mo Liuxi said to her, Ive dealt with An Ning. It wont affect you negatively.


    Yan Su paused briefly and asked, Have you found evidence?


    I watched a surveince video. Your hands did touch her, but that cant prove anything, Mo Liuxi said with a smile. Sometimes, you dont need solid evidence to solve a problem. Youll know when you go to school. I have taught her a lesson.


    What did you do? Yan Su was curious.


    I pulled off a lock of her hair, and threatened to push her off the stairs, said Mo Liuxi with pity. I really wanted to push her, but I cant break thew. I told her that I like you but didnt tell her that were already together.


    Yan Su was impressed. An Ning was indeed evil, but she looked sweet and adorable. Other guys might not have the heart to hurt her. However, Mo Liuxi pulled off a piece of her hair.


    Yan Su had long hair too. She could imagine how that hurt.


    Oh, in a couple of days, youll be performing together with me. Can you please work on your singing at home? Dont drag me down, Yan Su said straightforwardly.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxi wore a sour face. He felt that he was being despised.


    Ive decided that I wont be singing. Ill dance.


    Do you know how to dance? Yan Su was stunned.


    No.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    Then who gave you the confidence to even say that? she thought.


    Ive seen other people dancing. I think itll be simple. Mo Liuxi curved his lips downward and said, I saw some pretty boys twitching their limbs on the stage. People liked it.


    Do you have some misunderstandings about dancing? Yan Su couldnt help but ask in a low voice. Those boys you talked about. Most of them have danced for years. They all work hard. Theyve learned all kinds of dancing, including breaking, street dancing, etc.


    Mo Liuxi blinked his eyes, then responded with, Its okay. Im more handsome than they are.


    Liuxi, dont you think that youre more and more like your brother-inw? said Yan Su. Youre as shameless as he is, she added in her head.


    Mo Liuxi paused briefly to think. Actually, she was right.


    He had seen how arrogant Nian Junting could be in front of Luosang. He was younger than Nian Junting, and as good-looking as him. So, if Nian Junting had the right to be so shamelessly confident, he believed that he deserved to be even more confident than him.


    I guess what he has is contagious, said Mo Liuxi ndly.


    Cant you learn something good from him instead? said Yan Su.


    Like what? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows.


    Yan Su didnt know how to answer the question. She didnt know about Nian Juntings good qualities, but one thing was for sure, the man was super nice to his wife. In his eyes, all women but his wife were nothing.


    Mo Liuxi was the same. He wouldnt even buy a cup of milk tea for any other woman but Yan Su, plus he was super nice to her.


    Im going to school. Yan Su left.


    In school, some people from her department came to talk to her about An Ning.


    She didnt know them well, so she barely listened to what they said. However, she did hear what Fan Jing said.


    Someone exposed what An Ning did to Mo Liuxi in the school forum. Shes like a stalker! You arent the first girl whos been warned by her. A couple of girls from the directing department were warned before you. I heard they were warned by An Ning only because they had a chat with Mo Liuxi, sat next to him in sses, or because Mo Liuxi epted the bottled water they offered while he was ying basketball.

 Chapter 1096. Su, Did You Block My Number?

    Chapter 1096. Su, Did You Block My Number?


    Yan Su was surprised. She didnt know about those. Those were probably made up by Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su didnt know if it was true, but based on An Nings behavior, it sounded like something that she would do.


    Fan Jing continued with a low voice saying, So people all believe that you were framed by An Ning. Shes terrible. Who knows what she might do? Poor Mo Liuxi. He has a creepy suitor like that.


    Fan Jing, dont say that. The meal student who sat before her turned around and said, Maybe theres a reason why An Ning has been pursuing him so hard.


    What reason can it be? Its only her own wishful thinking, said Fan Jing. This kind of thing involves two people. And to be honest, shes not pretty enough for Mo Liuxi.


    Guys and girls have different tastes. The boyughed, Shes not as pretty as Yan Su, but shes in the top-ten list of pretty girls in the acting department. The girls in their department are all pretty. Shes in top-ten, meaning that shes already very good-looking. Earlier, I heard people say that Mo Liuxi drove An Ning home in his sports car. If nothing is going on between them, why would he drive her home?


    Thats impossible, Fan Jing said.


    Why would I lie to you? I heard it from a friend of mine who lived in An Nings neighborhood. Hes not from our school. He said that it was a silver Porsche. He recognized Mo Liuxi because Mo Liuxi is so handsome that some people from other schools have heard about him. Many girls from other schools came here to see him.


    Yan Su frowned slightly as she listened.


    I dont believe it. Fan Jing curved her lips downward and said, Mo Liuxi is cold and proud. He rarely talks to any girls. Perhaps, An Ning pretended to fall to the ground in front of him and made him drive her home. Its not like that he drives her home every day.


    Thats probably not true. Many young boys like to pretend to be cold nowadays. They think the girls like it. You dont know what theyll do in private. The boy snorted withughter. Take the most handsome guy from Xia City University as an example. He looked too high to reach, but in fact, he has slept with a bunch of girls in secret. No one knew about it until one of those girls got pregnant. She has had three abortions for him. Some girls are just too easy. A good-looking guy can get them in bed by simply saying some nice words.


    Shut up, Fan Jing said. Theyre not easy girls. Theyre just innocent. Some guys are monsters.


    The boy snorted and continued with, I told you all this for the sake of my friend. I was trying to tell you to be careful. Dont think that all pretty boys are nice people. You dont know what they think.


    The ss has begun. Be quiet, Yan Su reminded them in low voice.


    After lunch, Yan Su yed guitar in the music studio alone when her phone rang abruptly. It was an unknown local number. She hesitated briefly, then answered the call.


    Who is this?


    Su, did you block my number? Shi Xiangs voice was heard. I need to talk to you.


    Theres nothing left to say between us. Dont call me again.


    I just want you to know


    Yan Su ended the call before he finished.


    That night, Mo Liuxi had dinner with Director Li in thetterspany and talked about work. It was 10:00 p.m. when he got home.

 Chapter 1097. My Brother, the Winter in Xia City Isnt So Cold

    Chapter 1097. My Brother, the Winter in Xia City Isn''t So Cold


    He first returned to his own t but found it empty. He then went to Yan Sus.


    He spent a while knocking on her door, but no one answered it. Atst, he received a WeChat message from Yan Su Stop knocking. Im so tired. Im already in bed.


    Mo Liuxi felt speechless.


    He thought he woulde home to see a woman lying on his bed, but it turned out that he was wrong. There was no woman on his bed, and the woman next-door refused to open her door for him.


    This is awful, heined silently.


    With no other choice, he slept in his own bedroom. Lying on the empty,rge bed, he tossed and turned, feeling so cold and lonely.


    It suddenly popped in his mind that Nian Junting always posted WeChat moments, so he quickly stood up and posted a selfie in his pajamas on his WeChat moment, along with the words The winter in Xia City, cold.


    Yan Su saw the post the next morning. Luosang left herment under the selfie Brother, the winter in Xia City isnt so cold.


    Nian Xi The winter here is all right. I think its your heart that feels cold. You need a girlfriend. Let me introduce to you, the prettiest girl from our police station


    Yan Suughed. Somehow, she felt that Mo Liuxis WeChat moment was not as simple as it looked. He rarely posted WeChat moments.


    After Yan Su washed up, Mo Liuxi knocked on her door. His face was full of coldness and unhappiness.


    I didnt sleep the night beforest, so I slept earlyst night, Yan Su exined with a low voice. She didnt tell him that it was because she felt a little ufortable after hearing her ssmate say that Mo Liuxi drove An Ning home.


    Did you sleep well? Mo Liuxis face finally warmed a little.


    Fine. Yan Su turned and headed toward the kitchen. I didnt make congee. I boiled two eggs. Just drink some milk.


    But I didnt sleep well. Mo Liuxi followed behind her. Did you see my WeChat post?


    Yan Su turned off the heat, looked at him helplessly and said, Get a thick quilt if youre cold.


    I dont need a quilt, I need a woman. Mo Liuxi put his arms around her waist and whispered with a soft, low voice, I need you. Ever since we slept together, I found my bed too big and too empty. I finally understand why you got such a small bed.


    Hearing that so early in the morning made Yan Su blush. I didnt get the bed myself, she said. Your brother-inw bought me that bed when he bought Luosangs bed. He said that therge beds are too expensive. He doesnt want to spend too much money on me, so he bought me a simple wooden bed. It cost him two thousand yuan. Did you see your sisters luxurious bed made from Italian leather? That one cost sixty thousand.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. Nian Junting was such a stingy person.


    No wonder that bed squeaked the other night. Thankfully, nothing really happened, or the bed mightve fallen apart.


    Yan Su couldnt bear listening to that. A two-thousand-yuan bed wouldnt be that fragile.


    Its all right. Ill buy you a bed thats even better than my sisters, said Mo Liuxi.


    Forget it. My room is too small for a bed like that anyway. Yan Su shook her head. Can we stop talking about beds? Lets have breakfast.


    All right. Mo Liuxi took over the egg. Why didnt you make congee? I want congee.


    On hearing that, Yan Su felt uneasy. Do you like me or my congee? If An Nings congee was as good as mine, would you be with her?

 Chapter 1098. Su, Are You Jealous?

    Chapter 1098. Su, Are You Jealous?


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. He didnt understand why Yan Su asked that question.


    She asked the question, meaning that she cared about it. Mo Liuxi believed that he should answer it frankly.


    I admit that I was surprised when I tasted her congee for the first time. I wasnt expecting it to be so tasty. I was touched at that moment, and I thought about learning more about her. However, she lied to me that she made the congee alone. I found out the truthter on. Also, she brought you trouble. She didnt leave a good impression. I felt that she was too petty and that she lies a lot. It turned out that I was right.


    Yan Su didnt like that answer. So, if I didnt tell you the truth on ident, you might have gotten together with her already, right? After all, Ive taught her how to make the congee you like.


    Mo Liuxi nced at her questioningly and said, Why do you think that way? Would I be with her only because I like the congee she made? I needed to know about her before that. The more time I spent with her, the clearer her true face became. I didnt like her. Before, she always brought me lunch in boxes and told me that she made it herself. But the truth was, she didnt make it, her mother did. I never ate it.


    Yan Su frowned. She didnt know that. No wonder you dislike her so much.


    I really dont like her, Mo Liuxi nodded and said. You see, after I learned that it was you who made the congee, I didnt pursue you immediately. I only came here for food. I fell in love with you while having breakfast and midnight snacks with you. I slowly grew fond of you.


    He dragged her into his arms and tittered in her ear, Or, probably earlier, in the elevator.


    Recalling that, Yan Su felt utterly embarrassed. Stop lying. That was a pure physical reaction.


    That was not. Mo Liuxi shook his head. Am I an animal? Its not like Ive never been in a crowded elevator or bus or subway before. But what happened that day was a first. I had feelings for you. I never liked anyone else in that way, so I didnt realize it back then. I guess youve been special to me ever since we met.


    He held Yan Su in his arms.


    Thinking about all that had happened before and hearing his exnation, she couldnt help but let her heart leap.


    Perhaps, she shouldnt care so much about what happened before, as she had already decided to be with him.


    After all, the future was more important than the past.


    Su, are you jealous? Abruptly, Mo Liuxis voice was heard from above her head.


    Yan Su paused briefly, dropped her head, pushed him away and then headed toward the kitchen. Her cheeks reddened.


    Mo Liuxi felt as if a fire was burning in his chest. He made a few steps upward and suddenly carried her in his arms.


    Liuxi, what are you doing? Yan Su gave a start, then raised her head to find his pretty face filled with excitement and happiness.


    Su, you are jealous because of me. I used to be the one whos always jealous for you. Mo Liuxi put her on the couch,id on her, held her face with both hands, looked at her and said, You love me. His eyes contained the pure joy that only children would have.


    Yan Su was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly turned her red face away.


    Hear heart was thumping. Did she love him?


    If she didnt love him, why would she feel so ufortable because of An Ning? Why did she start to haggle over every little thing?

 Chapter 1099. She Understood How Nian Xi Felt When Nian Junting Was Cold to Her

    Chapter 1099. She Understood How Nian Xi Felt When Nian Junting Was Cold to Her


    Did she fall in love with him at the beginning of their rtionship?


    Yan Su was scared.


    She guarded her heart firmly from Shi Xiang before. But now, as she had met Mo Liuxi, her feelings were like a flood.


    You love me, Mo Liuxi repeated. He made her sit on his knees, then separated his legs and pressed her head down to kiss her deeply. He could still kiss her aggressively, even though he was at the bottom.


    Yan Su couldnt even breathe. She tried but failed to free herself from his grip. On the contrary, he managed to undo a few buttons of her shirt.


    When Mo Liuxis phone rang, she thought that he would let her go, but she was wrong. Mo Liuxi answered the call while kissing her neck.


    Xu Luosang, what do you want?


    Mo Liuxi, Im your sister, Luosang said sourly. She called her brother in the morning because she cared for him, yet he talked to her so impatiently. She finally understood how Nian Xi felt when Nian Junting treated her coldly.


    Em, what do you want? Mo Liuxi kissed Yan Sus lips again while thetter was pushing him.


    Yan Sus eyes popped, but she didnt dare to breathe.


    Why is your voice strange? Are you eating something? Luosang asked.


    Mo Liuxi nearly burst intoughter. Yeah, Im having breakfast. Todays breakfast is super delicious.


    After saying that, he bit Yan Sus lips with a wicked grin. Yan Su blushed. She wanted so much to punch him.


    What is it? Ill tell Junting to get it for me, said Luosang with great interest.


    Why would I tell you?


    Luosang stayed silent for a short while. She found her brother growing more and more annoying, and herself less and less important to him.


    What is this about? Tell me, or Im gonna hang up on you, Mo Liuxi sounded impatient.


    Luosang told herself to forgive him. After all, he was her brother. She had no choice but to tolerate him, like Nian Xi tolerated Nian Junting.


    I saw your WeChat postst night. Didnt youin about the cold? You didnt catch a cold, did you? Should I ask Junting to send you a thick quilt?


    Thank you, Ive got a thick quilt already. Mo Liuxi looked at Yan Su who was lying underneath him, then lowered his voice and continued, I got it this morning.


    Are there stores that open so early? Luosang was surprised.


    Em.


    New Years Day ising. Dont forget toe home for dinner. Bring Su with you. Celebrating New Years Day alone is boring, said Luosang. Well have a hotpot.


    Go and tell her yourself. Im busy. Mo Luixi ended the call, then threw the phone. After that, he pinched Yan Sus nose and said, Go home with me for hotpot on New Years Day.


    Yan Su raised her brows and said, Didnt you tell Sangsang that Im busy? What do you mean?


    I am busy, kissing you. Mo Liuxi kissed her ear.


    Stop it! I have ss! Yan Su tried very hard to dodge him. Im gonna bete!


    Mo Liuxi finally stopped. However, he didnt let her go, but said, Su, seriously,e home with me on New Years Day. I want to tell my family about us.


    Yan Su wasnt prepared for that. Didnt you say that you dont want to tell your family so soon? she stuttered.


    God, she couldnt even imagine standing in front of Luosang, hand in hand with Mo Liuxi. How would Luosang react?


    She could never allow herself to make intimate moves with Mo Liuxi right in front of Luosang. That would be so awkward.


    I said that before, because back then, I didnt know that Id like you so much, said Mo Liuxi seriously. Su, we love each other. My family will know sooner orter. I think they should know sooner. I know that you might feel embarrassed because you and my sister are good friends. But shell know eventually, wont she?

 Chapter 1100. Its Probably Yan Su Who Had Slept With Him

    Chapter 1100. It''s Probably Yan Su Who Had Slept With Him


    Yan Su didnt know how to respond to him.


    He was right.


    Unless Mo Liuxi abruptly lowered his voice and continued with slight disappointment, Unless you never thought about our future.


    Its not like that. Yan Su shook her head and said, Liuxi, let me think about it.


    She loved him, and she did want to have a future with him.


    But Liuxi, she thought. Youre so young that I dont even dare to think about our marriage.


    She was even a little worried. When he graduated from school and started his career, he would meet a lot of beautiful and outstanding girls. Would he fall for another girl?


    Life was long. Time could change many things. Yan Su was once hurt and betrayed. She learned howplicated people could be and had lost the courage that she used to have.


    All right, Ill wait. Mo Liuxi nodded. Have some breakfast. Ill pack your things.


    After saying that, he stood up and packed her bag as usual.


    Downstairs, Yan Su took her face mask out from her bag and prepared to put it on. Before doing so, she found a white baseball hat. She hadnt worn that hat for a long time.


    She remembered that hat. That morning, after she identally slept with Mo Liuxi, she was wearing that hat.


    She never wore it again, because she worried the hat might remind Mo Liuxi of what happened. She didnt know where Mo Liuxi found it.


    Some people walked over, so she hurriedly put on the hat and mask.


    At the entrance of the school, she saw An Ninge over together with An Lan. An Ning had her head dropped, while An Lan was saying something to her with a serious face.


    Yan Su suffered a headache at the sight of An Ning. She walked into the school and pretended not to see An Ning and her sister.


    She didnt know that An Ning was staring at her back, with her eyes popped out.


    An Ning, have you heard me? As An Ning stopped walking, An Lan took a deep breath and continued with a deep voice, Some college students do part-time jobs. You dont have to do it. Youve never been through any difficulties, but youre spending too much money. You spent tens of thousands a month. How can you do that? Besides, where did that money go?


    The hat An Ning stared at Yan Su.


    From the surveince video, she saw a person leave Mo Liuxis hotel room wearing that hat. She never suspected Yan Su before, but now, thetters body shape and hat looked ny percent simr to the person she saw in the video.


    So, it was probably Yan Su who slept with Mo Liuxi that night.


    But she had mentioned that night to Mo Liuxi many times, and he didnt seem to know the truth.


    Thinking about it, An Ning started sweating. Thankfully, Mo Liuxi didnt expose her lie, or she would be screwed.


    Why didnt Yan Su tell the truth?


    I know. Its because shes a public figure, and she doesnt want to disgrace herself. What a shameless woman, An Ning thought. She has slept with Mo Liuxi, but she always pretends to be innocent and nice.


    Hypocrite.


    What hat? An Lan followed An Nings eyes and saw a girl wearing a hat. Whom? What hat?


    Nothing. An Ning lowered her head and quickly walked into the school.


    An Ning. An Lan grabbed her and said, Dont you think about ying tricks again.

 Chapter 1101. Yan Sus Head was Spinning

    Chapter 1101. Yan Su''s Head was Spinning


    Sister, are you my sister? An Ning shook off An Lans hand and said, Am I such a bad person in your eyes? You rattled all the way. I spent some of our parents money, but so what? Ill pay them back when I be a star!


    An Lan replied angrily, Is bing a star that easy? I have dealt with quite a few cases for film and televisionpanies. The entertainment circle isnt as simple as you think. Our family isnt rich. Do you have to be so wasteful?


    You earn millions from every case you do, dont you? Im your sister. Why are you so stingy? An Ning said and then left grumpily.


    An Lan was so angry that her heart ached.


    What did she do wrong in her previous life that she deserved this awful sister?


    Yan Su walked into the ssroom and took off her face mask. Hai Yin, her ssmate, walked over and said to her, Su, do you have time this afternoon?


    Can I help you? Yan Su had a good impression on Hai Yin. She always kept a low profile and spent her time with the orchestra without causing any problem.


    Our orchestra is going to perform at the Xia City Music Theater for Christmas. Youre good at music, so we want your advice. Maybe we can add a harp or a celesta. Of course, you dont have to go, if you dont have time.


    Sure. The ss will end at four anyway. Yan Su didnt hesitate.


    Spending more time with the orchestra wouldnt do her any harm. She was a star indeed, but still, she had a lot to learn about music. The more she learned, the more unique her music could be.


    After ss, Yan Su texted Mo Liuxi, saying that she would be homete. Mo Liuxi was busy recently preparing for Director Lis new film.


    Yan Su stayed at the school with the orchestra until half-past five, then walked home.


    It got dark very early in Xia City this time of the year.


    Near her neighborhood, a thirty-year-old man in a jacket walked to her and asked in non-fluent Chinese, Hi, can you please tell me how far Xia City University is from here? Which way to go?


    The man didnt look Chinese. Yan Su guessed that he was from Japan or Korea. Many foreigners lived near the college town. Most of them were there to study or work.


    Right there. Go this way Yan Su pointed backward. A man suddenly showed up behind her and breathed some smoke into her face.


    Her head instantly spun.


    Damn that one word popped into her mind before she fell into unconsciousness.


    Another man quickly put her into a ck car nearby, then drove away.


    Yan Su woke up to find herself lying on arge bed.


    Her mind was still unclear, and her body was powerless. She couldnt even sit up. Also, she felt that her limbs were all tied up.


    She was muddleheaded for a short while before she suddenly recalled that someone made her unconscious on her way home.


    She had read about such things from the news, but never thought that it would happen to her.


    What did these people want? Did they kidnap her for money? Or, were they going to sell her?


    She shuddered to think of it.


    Youre awake. A womans voice was heard from the end of the bed. Her Chinese was not fluent.

 Chapter 1102. Kidnap

    Chapter 1102. Kidnap


    Yan Su struggled to look at the end of the bed and saw a short-haired woman sitting on the couch that was ced against the wall. She was wearing a long, striped dress; her lips were red, and her face was delicate. She looked pretty at first nce, but with a closer look, one could see that she had stic surgery.


    She had the same ent as Mo Liuxi when he came back to the country.


    Standing beside the woman, were four men in ck suits, including the one who asked Yan Su for directions.


    Youre not Chinese. Yan Su was alert.


    Youre smart. The woman slowly stood up, walked to the bed, and looked at her carefully. Youre pretty and young.


    Jealousy could be detected in her eyes.


    Yan Sus face looked perfectly natural, full of cogen, not like hers. The aging marks on her face could only be covered by the most expensive skincare products and the most advanced techniques.


    Yan Su was frightened.


    She wouldnt be surprised if she was kidnapped by a man. After all, during work, she had displeased some men that wanted to do something bad to her. But it was a woman who kidnapped her. What did the woman want?


    She believed that she never offended any woman before. An Ning hated her, but that one was almost a psychopath.


    You are pretty too. Yan Su was being honest. You have a good presence.


    I do? The woman slowly touched her own face and said, Do you know how many surgeries Ive taken to maintain this face? Every time I woke up after surgery, I knew that I had to cover my face for a while. Im not like you. Youre born with your pretty face, and dont have to do anything to get it. Im so jealous of young girls like you.


    After saying that, she gently stroked Yan Sus face.


    Yan Su got goosebumps. She wondered if she was facing a crazy woman who was jealous of her beauty.


    But a lot of girls were even younger and prettier than herself. Why did that woman choose her as a target?


    In fact you dont need to think this way. Ill be old someday. Ill also need to inject cogen or hyaluronic acid into my skin Yan Su stuttered.


    What do you mean? Do you think that Im old? The woman suddenly squeezed her chin and stared at her fiercely. You think Ive used cogen and hyaluronic acid? You can tell?


    Yan Su wanted to die. Didnt you just say that youve put a lot of effort into your face? Every beauty house provides such services to slow down aging.


    Aging? The woman sneered. Do you think that Im aging?


    Yan Su was so frustrated. She had met a lot of crazy women this year.


    No. I think youre young. If you didnt tell me that Im younger than you, I wouldve thought you were only twenty. You seem to be at the same age as I am. To save herself, Yan Su lied.


    Youre such a sweet talker. No wonder he likes you so much. the woman smiled with jealousy.


    Do you like Mo Liuxi too? The first thing that popped up in Yan Sus mind was Mo Liuxis beautiful face.


    Whos Mo Liuxi? The woman raised her eyebrows. I didnt know that youre a skittish girl who has more than one boyfriend.


    Are you talking about Shi Xiang? Yan Sus slow-working mind finally generated a name. Are you that Young Mistress from the Koreanpany?


    So you know about me. The woman smiled, stood up and said, Im Jin Yon.


    Miss Jin, I broke up with Shi Xiang long ago. You shouldnte after me, Yan Su said while struggling.

 Chapter 1103. Were Both Women. A Woman Shouldnt Hurt Another Woman

    Chapter 1103. We''re Both Women. A Woman Shouldn''t Hurt Another Woman


    But he never forgot you, said Jin Yon with a faint smile. For you, he came to me. Also for you, he abandoned me. Hes even trying to end his contract with mypany. Do you know that he even took my pictures after we had sex, and threatened to publish them if I didnt let him end the contract?


    Yan Sus eyes widened in shock. Somehow, she felt disgusted.


    She knew that Shi Xiang had slept with Jin Yon long ago but taking those kinds of pictures was awful.


    Anyhow, she helped him.


    Hurting someone mercilessly after making use of her was indeed something indecent to do.


    Youre wrong. He didnt do it for me. Yan Su raised her head and said, He did it for himself. Since you know about me, you should know that I barely saw him all these years. We didnt even get a chance to speak on the phone. Im a victim too. We got together in high school. I left my family for him, but he cheated on me. Do I feel good about that?


    He slept with me because he wanted to use me to earn a better life for you. Now, hes grown some strength, so he immediately abandoned me and came home to you. Im your steppingstone.


    What life did he ever give me? Yan Su asked. Have I eaten his food or worn his clothes? He gave me nothing. I earned my life all by myself. Earlier, we attended an event together. An investor tried to take advantage of me, and he was there watching. He didnt want to offend the investor. Is that how he loves me?


    Jin Yon was stunned.


    Yan Su continued with, Im only an excuse of his. What he really wants is to be rich and sessful. Im only a piece of decoration in his eyes. He can live with me, or without me. Im not the one that you want to pay revenge on. Besides, when you slept with him, didnt you foresee today? This is the world we live in. You slept with him, and he climbed higher on your shoulders. Is there any true love?


    Shut up. Jin Yons expression changed. Ive seen all kinds of men in my life, but Ive never been fooled like this!


    Yan Su didnt shut up, but gave a bitter smile and said, Miss. Jin, its my first time being betrayed too. I know that youre so rich and powerful that you can get anything you want, but when you stole someone elses boyfriend, havent you ever thought that his girlfriend might get hurt because of you? Well, of course, I dont me you. I me the man. He made the choice himself. He decided to cheat on me, and I couldnt possibly stop him. Your case is the same. Even if I, Yan Su, dont exist in this world, the story between you and him would still end in the same way. Youre right, youre just his steppingstone. Now, hes climbed high. Would he stoop to pick up his steppingstone?


    Youre sharp-tongued. Jin Yon pinched Yan Sus chin and gave a smile.


    I just think that were both women. A woman shouldnt hurt another woman, said Yan Su helplessly.


    Youre right. I was almost convinced and let you go. Jin Yon took out her phone and said, However, what you said is only your guess. You dont know if he really cares about you or not. He knows.

 Chapter 1104. Shi Xiang Seems to Care About You More Than You Think

    Chapter 1104. Shi Xiang Seems to Care About You More Than You Think


    She dialed Shi Xiangs number and put him on speaker.


    Jin Yon, what do you want now? Shi Xiangs impatient voice was immediately heard on the phone. Theres nothing left to say between us.


    Yeah, theres nothing left to say between you and me, but what about her? Jin Yon put the phone near Yan Sus face and said to her smilingly, Talk to him now, or you may never have a chance to talk to him again.


    Before Yan Su said anything, Shi Xiang burst into a rage. Jin Yon, why is Yan Su with you? What did you do to her?


    Nothing yet, but I might do somethingter. Jin Yonughed. Didnt you take my pictures? Good. Ill strip her and take some pictures of her, and then publish them. I believe in your country. Not many girls can stand something like that. Also, Im telling you that we have quite a few men in this room. If they have to make some moves, I dont think Ill be able to stop them. After all, your girl has such a pretty face and body.


    Hearing that, Yan Su panicked. Shi Xiang, tell her that I have nothing to do with you. She shouldnte after me.


    Jin Yon, this is China, not Korea. Shi Xiang warned Jin Yon with a cold voice saying, You kidnapped a girl. If you get caught, your father wouldnt be able to save you. Dont ruin your life.


    If I ruined my life, your girl wouldnt live a good life either. Jin Yon smiled coldly and said, Do you have the guts to make this news? Do you want people to know that you abandoned your first love and spent a few years in my bed to get what you have today? Think about your career. Think about your fans.


    What do you want? Shi Xiang said through clenched teeth.


    I want you to deliver my pictures and photographic films alone. Jin Yonughed. You wont call the police, will you? If you want your career to continue, and if you want the woman you like to keep living in this world with dignity, do what I say. You have two hours. I know you have help. But Ive put my people on the mountain. If they see you bringing anyone else, Ill give your girl a drug, the kind I gave you every time.


    Bitch. Shi Xiang cursed, Dont hurt her, or well both die.


    Ill text you the address. Its a bit far, but hurry. Jin Yon ended the call withughter.


    Looking at the grin on her face, Yan Su shivered in fear.


    Back when she just started talking to her, she had a feeling that Jin Yon was a little twisted, in a different way from An Nings twistedness.


    I guess Shi Xiang cares about you more than you think, Jin Yon waved her phone and said.


    Youre wrong. Hes only worried that you might tell his secret, Yan Su said with a low voice, then pressed her lips together. Still, she couldnt help but ask, You said you gave him a drug. What is the drug? Why did you give him it?


    Jin Yon looked at her with a small smile and said, Every time we had sex, he didnt seem to be in the mood. I gave him a drug so he couldnt control himself.


    Yan Sus eyes widened and she stared at Jin Yon. She was pretty but disgusting.


    You dont love him, do you? You just want to have him. If you really cared about him, why would you make him take that kind of harmful drug?


    I dont love him. I just like him. Jin Yon rubbed her own nails while replying, Like how I like my dog.

 Chapter 1105. Please, Let Me Go

    Chapter 1105. Please, Let Me Go


    Yan Su shuddered.


    No wonder Shi Xiang left you. Any man would have done the same, she said.


    Do you care? Jin Yon raised her eyebrows.


    Its not about if I care. Its about morality. Yan Su was a little angry. I think you need to see a shrink. Youre twisted.


    Shut up! Jin Yon pped her face. What are you? You dont get to tell me what to do.


    The drug that Yan Su inhaled earlier made her feel weak, so the heavy p made her head buzz. It took her a while toe back to her senses. She looked outside and found it was dark. She could also sense that it was strangely quiet.


    Were not in town.


    Were pretty far away from the town. Jin Yon sat back onto the couch.


    This is pointless. I have a boyfriend, Yan Su said. Hes a director. His brother-inw is the owner of Shengting Group and he is from the Morrison Family. Hell find that Im missing and he wont let you get away with this.


    Jin Yon paused briefly with surprise. Youre pretty capable. You found someone better than Shi Xiang so soon, but Ive already kidnapped you, and I think letting you go now wont help.


    Yan Su was frustrated.


    She hoped that Mo Liuxi would find her phone disconnected, then call the police. However, he seemed to have an appointment with Director Li tonight


    At 9:00 p.m. someone knocked on the door.


    Someone opened the door, then Shi Xiang walked in.


    His handsome face was immediately upied by anger once he saw Yan Su tied up on the bed. He rushed to the bed, but someone stopped him.


    The photos, and the films. Jin Yon stood up and reached out a hand.


    Let her go first, said Shi Xiang coldly. This is between us. It has nothing to do with her.


    If it has nothing to do with her, why are you here? Jin Yon smiled. Without those photos, I might tell everybody that youve slept with me. Arent you worried?


    Shi Xiang clenched his fist and said impatiently, Cut the crap. Ill give you what you want after I bring her out of this ce. I came here alone. If I gave it to you now, who knows if well leave here unharmed?


    When did I say that Ill let her go once you gave me what I want? Jin Yon lighted a cigarette.


    Are you ying me? Shi Xiang narrowed his eyes.


    Yes, I am. Shi Xiang, how am I gonna let this go? You want to leave me, and you dont want me to y you. Okay, so Ill let a man y you. Jin Yon grinned coldly, pointing at a muscr man in the room. Let him y you, then Ill let both of you go, and Ill let you end the contract.


    Shi Xiangs pretty face nearly twisted.


    Are you crazy? Yan Su who was limp as a noodle was shocked as well.


    Jin Yon ignored her and continued with, If you dont want that, hell y the girl you like. Your choice.


    Yan Su panicked. Based on what she knew about Shi Xiang, she thought he might give up on her. After all, he only loved himself.


    Jin Yon Shi Xiang said tremblingly. He wanted to kill Jin Yon.


    Jin Yon gave the muscr man an eye signal and the man instantly walked toward Yan Su. Yan Su tried her best to shrink back, but the man pulled her over like pulling a little bird; he easily tore off her shirt.


    Please let me go. Yan Su curled up and begged.

 Chapter 1106. Dont Look

    Chapter 1106. Don''t Look


    She never thought that such a thing would happen to her.


    If it really happened, she would be too ashamed to face anyone for the rest of her life. She regretted falling in love with Shi Xiang.


    If she could turn the clock back


    A tear fell from the corner of her eye.


    Stop. Shi Xiang stepped toward her. Watching the man rip off her clothes piece by piece and seeing the hatred that she had in her eyes, he felt useless.


    Enough. Dont touch her. Touch me. he clenched his teeth.


    He had let her down so many times. If she really suffered any harm today, he would never forgive himself.


    Yan Su would hate him. They had that beautiful puppy love, but she might hate him and hate herself for knowing him.


    Yan Su looked at him in shock.


    Take off your clothes, Jin Yon said coldly.


    Not here. Shi Xiang looked at her painfully.


    You, here, or she, here. Jin Yon smiled.


    Shi Xiang closed his eyes, tore off his own clothes and threw them on the floor.


    Shi Xiang Yan Su gripped the quilt and shook her head.


    She would hate Shi Xiang if he didnt save her, but she couldnt bear watching him being tortured like that. He was such a clean and innocent boy in her eyes. How did he be like that?


    After all, he was with you. She looked at Jin Yon and begged.


    He betrayed me, so now, I dont see him as a human, Jin Yonughed. Look, hes like a king in the eyes of his fans, but now, hes yed by someone like a toy.


    Shut up. Shi Xiang took off thest piece of his clothes, turned to Yan Su and begged her, I only ask you for one thing, dont look.


    Yan Sus tears gushed out of her eyes.


    She admitted that she wouldnt do the same for Shi Xiang. She couldnt do it. She was the victim since the beginning.


    She slowly turned her face away and buried her head in the quilt. Before long, she heard Shi Xiangs muffled moaning. She clenched the quilt, but someone turned her head to Shi Xiang and made her see what she didnt even want to believe.


    Have you seen this? How dirty he is? Jin Yon chuckled while recording it with her phone.


    Yan Su, close your eyes. Shi Xiang looked at her with pain.


    She didnt dare to look. She closed her eyes tightly, but her tears streamed out. She had fantasied being with Shi Xiang so many times, but she never thought that things would be like this,


    He was probably not an entirely decent man, but he was proud. Yet tonight, his pride was grounded bit by bit. All Yan Su could do was not to look, so she could save hisst bit of dignity.


    The tormentsted a while.


    She opened her eyes and saw Shi Xiang lying on the carpet like a rag, covered in bruises. The muscr man spat at him, then turned and said to Jin Yon, Mistress, we should be going. They just received a message saying that some people are sneaking up the mountain. Those should be Xiangs people.


    I knew youd bring other people. Jin Yon nced at Shi Xiang, then threw a knife onto Yan Sus bed. Youve seen it. Ive recorded this. If a word gets out, dont me me for leaking the video.

 Chapter 1107. Miss Yan, Please

    Chapter 1107. Miss Yan, Please


    You are a devil. Yan Su red at her. She had never seen such an evil woman.


    I wouldnt daree here without any preparations. Dont worry, as long as Im fine, youll be fine too. After all, this video also proves that Ive broken thew.


    After she finished talking, she quickly turned and left.


    Yan Su immediately struggled from the bed, cut off the rope, and then picked up a cloth from the carpet; she gently covered Shi Xiangs body with it.


    Seeing the wound on his back, her tears gushed out of her eyes. Maybe she didnt love him anymore, but she used to.


    About the past: She didnt want to think about if it was he or she who made more mistakes. He had changed and she didnt like him anymore, but she never thought about punishing him for that.


    Dont, dont look at me, Su. Shi Xiang covered his face, curled up, and tried very hard to keep himself from crying.


    When he was younger, he imagined bing her hero. Atst, he didnt be a hero. Instead, he broke his own bottom line over and over again, until he lost thest bit of his dignity.


    Before tonight, he still hoped for a future of him and Yan Su together, but after tonight, he would be too ashamed to even think about it.


    Perhaps, he would stay morous in the eyes of the others, but she had seen the most disgusting side of him.


    Su, just leave. he held his head with pain.


    Shi Xiang, dont be like this. Yan Su said with a dry voice. She didnt know what to say.


    She was aware that the humiliation he suffered was bad enough to kill him.


    At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Shi Xiang, are you in there? We saw Jin Yon and her people leaving.


    Shi Xiang shivered and hurriedly said to Yan Su, Those are my people. Dont let them in. Tell them to go after Jin Yon.


    Okay. Yan Su nodded, then ran to the door and opened it slightly. Chen Chen, Shi Xiangs new assistant, and another few men were standing outside, with mud on their shoes.


    Shi Xiang is fine. You guys dont need toe in. Just wait outside. Yan Su forced a smile and said, Did you go after Jin Yon? She left ten minutes ago.


    We sent a few people after her. Chen Chen frowned. Is Shi Xiang hurt?


    Yeah, he fought those people and got injured. He doesnt want to be seen. Just wait outside. Yan Su closed the door while speaking. However, Chen Chen nimbly burst in and closed the door.


    What are you doing? Yan Su was angry. Chen Chen had already seen everything in the room.


    Who told you toe in? The half-dressed Shi Xiang yelled at him.


    Chen Chen stayed motionless for a short while, then said with a deep voice, Whatever happened, no one will hear a word about tonight.


    Miss, Yan, please. He turned to Yan Su.


    I wont tell anyone. Yan Su nodded. Even though the whole thing was started by Shi Xiang, she knew that he still had a conscience, or he wouldnt have protected her.


    Ill go and get some medicine. Please take care of him, Chen Chen said and then left.


    After he left, Shi Xiang went into the bathroom for a shower.


    Yan Su was in a daze for a while, then suddenly thought of Mo Liuxi. She was missing for such a long time. Would he try to find her?

 Chapter 1108. How Am I Supposed to Sleep While Youre Not Here?

    Chapter 1108. How Am I Supposed to Sleep While You''re Not Here?


    She found her phone and she hurriedly called Mo Liuxi.


    Whos this? Mo Liuxi sounded impatient.


    Its me, Yan Su said with a low voice.


    Su? Mo Liuxi gasped and said, Where have you been? You didnt answer my call, and youre not home. I called Jiaojiao, but she couldnt reach you either. Im was so worried. Im at the school looking for you. I was going to call the police.


    Yan Su was touched. It was the first time someone worried so much about her safety.


    Im Im fine. Im at a hot spring hotel with my friends, so Ill be back tomorrow. I lost my phone.


    Why are you so careless? said Mo Liuxi with a low voice. Anyway, as long as youre okay.


    Yan Su bit her lip to keep herself from crying.


    She wanted very much to tell him about what happened tonight, but if she did and if Jin Yon got caught, people would know what happened to Shi Xiang.


    Ill buy you a new phone when you get back, said Mo Liuxi, When will youe back? Do you need me to pick you up?


    No, Ille back tomorrow, said Yan Su with a gentle voice. Just go home. Go to sleep early.


    How am I gonna sleep while youre not there? Mo Liuxi snorted. Well go to a hot spring hotel together next time.


    Hm. Yan Su responded. I gotta go.


    Arent we gonna talk a little longer?


    Im busy.


    All right, bye. Dont miss me at night.


    After ending the call, Yan Su spent a while sitting on the bed. Then she looked at the time and found that Shi Xiang had been in the bathroom for an hour.


    Shi Xiang,e out. She hurriedly knocked on the bathroom door and tried to persuade Shi Xiang toe out.


    At midnight, Shi Xiang had a fever.


    Chen Chen went out again for medicine. Yan Su spent the whole night taking care of him, giving him coldpresses, and wiping his body. At dawn, his fever finally broke.


    At 10:00 a.m. he slowly woke up.


    Shi Xiangid on the bed as Yan Su sat beside him. Looking at him in the eyes, Yan Su suddenly felt things had be different. After a while, she gathered the courage to start talking. Shi Xiang, its over. I dont even remember what happenedst night


    How can you possibly forget something like that? Shi Xiang clenched his fists under the quilt. I brought you into this. Jin Yon has always been sick. I underestimated how sick she could be.


    He swore to himself that he would do whatever he could to make Jin Yon pay for that she did.


    Forget about it, Yan Su said. She dare not to leak the video unless she admitted that she has broken thew.


    Shi Xiang covered his head with the quilt and said, Su, Im not good enough for you. I wish you the best.


    Yan Su understood that he liked her. No matter how awful a man might be, he would always want to have his dignity and pride in front of the girl he cared about.


    She had witnessed the worst of Shi Xiang. Seeing her would remind him of the most painful experience in his life.


    They couldnt be together.


    She couldnt tell how she felt. They were once a boy and a girl leaving home together with a vision for the future, but their story didnt end well.


    You take care too. Her voice was very low.


    At 11:00 a.m. they took a ride down the mountain.

 Chapter 1109. Liuxi, I Missed You Too

    Chapter 1109. Liuxi, I Missed You Too


    Yan Su found thatst night, they stayed in a small scale, newly built resort on top of a mountain. No wonder Shi Xiang couldnt bring his people straight to the hotel. They couldnt even drive to the mountaintop.


    Jin Yons people were scattered on the mountain and they could easily spot the car lights.


    That woman was really sneaky.


    Did you catch Jin Yonst night? Yan Su asked Chen Chen.


    We almost did, said Chen Chen through clenched teeth. We were a couple of minuteste. They got to the airport, so we couldnt do anything to them in public. Atst, we watched them leave. If they didnt have the video, we could have called the police.


    Yan Su understood. What happenedst night had to be kept secret.


    But was that woman getting away with it just like that? Yan Su couldnt ept that.


    Jin Yon had everything nned before she made a move, including how they got to the airport and left. Every minute was counted.


    Ill kill her sooner orter, Shi Xiang said with a cold voice.


    Yan Su turned to look at him. He was shorted by the hatred. She had never seen him so cold and dark.


    The old Shi Xiang might have diedst night. Two hourster, the car pulled up and parked before Yan Sus apartment.


    She put on the face mask and before getting out of the car, she nced at Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang looked at her and said with a cold and sad voice, Su, I was hoping that I could be your hero when I got back. I wanted to give you the best life, and protection. But then, I found that I couldnt do anything for you. Last time, at Director Lis party, I watched Mo Liuxi punch that guy for you, while I was too cowardly to even get close to you. I was so jealous of him. All I could do was y some dirty trick under the table. Now, youve even learned about the dirtiest part of my life. Ive be a different person, but you never changed. I never stopped loving you, but Im no longer good enough for you. Youre so perfect.


    Your father told me the difference between you and me isnt just the difference between our families. I was too young to understand back then, but now, I get him.


    Stop. Yan Sus eyes turned red.


    If I had another chance, Ide back to you, even if I couldnt be famous. Because I know that no matter how I may change on the outside, as long as Im still that person you know, youd never leave me. Shi Xiang smiled, but was choked with sobs.


    Yan Su didnt know how she got out of the car. Her tears streamed down her face while she was walking.


    She vaguely remembered how she and Shi Xiang held hands, sat on a green train, and left home.


    Back then, they felt they owned the whole world. Once she walked into the building, a tall figure blocked her way. She raised her head and saw Mo Liuxis face filled with concern.


    Why are you crying? What happened? Mo Liuxi wiped her tears. Did anyone hurt you?


    No. Seeing him, Yan Su gave a start. What time is it? Why arent you in school?


    Youre not here and Im not in the mood for school. Mo Liuxi looked at her deeply in the eyes and said, I dont know why, but I worried about you the whole night.


    Yan Su felt warm in her heart. She hugged him and buried her head in his arms.


    She almost got rapedst night.


    If that really happened, she wouldnt be with him anymore. She would be too unclean to him.


    Liuxi, I missed you too.

 Chapter 1110. Dont Move, Let Me Hold You

    Chapter 1110. Don''t Move, Let Me Hold You


    Su, why are you crying? Mo Liuxi held her and asked.


    Im just thinking about my family. You know that I havent been home for quite a while. Yan Su lied.


    Why are you suddenly thinking of your family? Mo Liuxi understood that her family had been like a wound in Yan Sus heart.


    I saw a happy family on my way. Yan Su held his hand and walked into the elevator.


    Once Yan Su walked into her t, Mo Liuxi suddenly held her from the behind and said, Dont move, let me hold you. I was worried to deathst night when I couldnt reach you.


    Yan Sus heart leaped.


    She turned back and Mo Liuxi kissed her. She hurriedly responded to him, to conceal the fear in her heart with the kiss.


    When Mo Liuxi undid her buttons, she shuddered and recalled what she sawst night. An indescribable difort attacked her. She pushed him away, rushed into the bathroom and threw up.


    Whats wrong? Did you catch a cold? Mo Liuxi nervously followed her in.


    Yan Su shook her head.


    She didnt dare tell what happened to Shi Xiang, but what went onst night had really caused her psychological trauma. She had never seen anything like that. It had be a psychological shadow for her.


    I dont feel well, she said.


    Mo Liuxi touched her forehead and said, Im going to get you some medicine for a cold.


    Yan Su nodded.


    After Mo Liuxi left, Yan Su immediately took a bath.


    She spent over half an hour in the water. Only until she heard the noise of the door, did she put on some clean clothes, dry her hair and walked out.


    Mo Liuxi sat on the couch, looking at his phone. The medicine was on the tea table.


    You came back so soon. Yan Su walked to him.


    Mo Liuxi suddenly raised his head and stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes and aplicated look.


    Su, what were you really doingst night? he asked.


    Seeing the sullen look on Mo Liuxis face, her heart skipped a beat. What happened to Shi Xiangst night didnt spread, did it?


    Once that thought popped up in her mind, her face paled. Didnt I tell you that I was in a hot spring hotel with friends?


    Su, Im gonna ask you one more time. Mo Liuxi stood up and looked at her deeply in the eyes. What on earth were you doingst night? Dont lie to me.


    Yan Sus lips trembled.


    Mo Liuxi believed what she had said before. Howe he suddenly changed his attitude?


    Liuxi, what happened to you?


    Is that question so difficult to answer? Mo Liuxi suddenly pulled a long face and clenched her fists.


    What do you want me to say? Yan Su might be slow-minded, but at that very moment, she realized that he had caught her telling a lie.


    I should be asking you that. Mo Liuxi stared at her with anger and disappointment. You were with Shi Xiangst night. Why did you lie to me?


    Yan Sus eyes widened as she looked at him and her face became ghastly pale.


    Are you curious about how I found out about it? With a sneer, Mo Liuxi threw the phone at her and said, See for yourself. Some reporters took a picture of you and Shi Xianging out of the hotel and getting into the same car. Do I need to check the surveince video at the gate? Shi Xiang drove you here. Hot spring hotel? I cant believe you came up with that kind of excuse, and more ridiculously, I actually bought it. I guess if you still have your phone, youd be receiving so many calls from yourpany right now.


    Yan Su picked up his phone. The news about her and Shi Xiang was on top of the hot searching list.


    The headline wasYan Su and Shi Xiang Spent A Night Together.

 Chapter 1112. Liuxi, I Hate You

    Chapter 1112. Liuxi, I Hate You


    No matter how well I treated you, you never forgot about that guy. The more he thought about it, the harder it was for Mo Liuxi to control his anger. He didnt want to hurt her, so he kicked the tea table away.


    The loud noise gave Yan Su a start and made her take a few steps backward.


    It was the first time she saw him like that. She felt as if she didnt know him anymore, and it made her sad. She had known him for a while. He was always proud, but now, he looked like a trapped beast.


    I didnt get sick because of you. I really dont feel well. Yan Su gave a bitter smile. Youve touched me many times. If it was because of you, Id have thrown up before.


    Yan Su, you lied to me. Now, I dont know what part of your words is true and what isnt. Mo Liuxi red at her.


    She imed that nothing happened between her and Shi Xiang but refused to exin. How was he supposed to believe that? How could he not overthink it? Even if what she said was true, Shi Xiang was more important in her heart than him, wasnt he?


    At that very moment, Mo Liuxi was overwhelmed by sadness. In her eyes, he would never be as good as Shi Xiang, no matter how hard he tried, right? He was a confident person, but at that moment, he lost his confidence.


    Yan Su, are you aware that youve checked all the boxes of a cheater? You took a shower once you got back. I get it. You were afraid that I might find something on your body, right?


    The more he thought about it, the less he could control himself. Yan Su was stunned. He was going further and further away from the truth.


    Take off your clothes. Mo Liuxi suddenly gave her a cold order. Ill check your body myself.


    Yan Sus eyes widened in shock.


    Did she mishear? How could he say that? It almost sounded as if he was seeing her as a lifeless creature. He had seen her body before, but still, she couldnt do that. That would be so embarrassing.


    If youre innocent. Mo Liuxi slowly walked toward her, looking at her in the eyes.


    What if I say no? For the first time, Yan Su felt helpless.


    Then youre guilty. Mo Liuxi sounded agitated, and his eyes were filled with ferocity. Dont make me do it.


    Yan Su raised her head, made an eye-contact with him and sensed a dangerous vibe from him.


    With shame, she made a step backward and slowly took off her pajamas that she put on not long ago.


    The moment she took off her clothes, tears gushed from her eyes. She told herself not to me him. If she was Mo Liuxi, she would also overthink about what happenedst night.


    They hadnt been together for long and they bothcked a sense of security about their rtionship. She was once unhappy because of what happened between Mo Liuxi and An Ning.


    However, standing in front of him and being checked like a lifeless creature made her feel extremely sad and embarrassed. He stared at her for a few seconds. Indeed, there were no traces on her skin.


    He took a step forward and reached out his hands.


    Sensing where his hands were going, Yan Su shivered and said in shock, What else do you want?


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and said, How do I know if he entered you or not? I need to check the inside too.


    Asshole! Yan Su couldnt stand it. She picked up her clothes and attempted to put them back on.


    Mo Liuxi moved closer, aggressively stopped her and continued touching her. Yan Sus tears streamed down her cheeks. She bit his arm and cried, Liuxi, I hate you!


    Mo Liuxis face wore deep pain. He lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply. Her lips were stained by his blood, and his throat suffered a piercing pain.


    Su, I forgive you this time. If it ever happens again, Ill make sure you get punished

 Chapter 1113. Go Public

    Chapter 1113. Go Public


    Mo Liuxi finished talking and left since they both needed to calm down. Yan Su didnt even remember how she put on her clothes; she sat down on the couch.


    So many things happenedst night. First Shi Xiang, then her rtionship with Mo Liuxi had a problem. She never thought that she was so untrustworthy in Mo Liuxis eyes. What Mo Liuxi did to her was even more unexpected. It was so hurtful.


    Who was she in his eyes? A thing that had no feelings? She felt humiliated and frightened. She sat there, submerged in her thinking until she heard a knock at her door.


    Yan Su, are you home? Xiang Wans voice was heard from the outside.


    Xiang Wans voice reminded her of herpany. She hurriedly answered the door and saw Xiang Wan and Jiaojiao standing outside, both looking serious.


    What on earth is wrong with you? Youre a star. How can you lose your phone? Xiang Wan hurriedly walked in. Have you read the news? Whats happening between you and Shi Xiang? Are you guys together?


    I just saw it. Yan Su felt guilty. Xiang Wan had told her not to create a scandal, but now something like that had happened. Were not together.


    Then why is there news about you and him spending a night together in a hotel? Xiang Wan was angry. Now ourpanys phone is being blown up. Shi Xiang hasnt responded to this. His female fans are attacking you online, using you of seducing him. Youre a new artist so I was trying to help you to build a solid foundation, yet you make such a huge scandal with him. You better tell me whats going on between you two. Are you together? Or, are you just sexual partners?


    Yan Su blushed. She wasnt expecting Xiang Wan to think that too. She frowned, hesitated briefly, then told the truth. We were high school ssmates, and we were together for a while. We broke up earlier, but yesterday, nothing happened. I was just trying to make it clear with him. Theres no chance for us to get back together.


    God. Xiang Wan gasped in shock. And you never told me that.


    Im sorry. Yan Su dropped her head. I thought its over.


    All right, Ill talk to Shi Xiangs people about this. I hope we can rify your rtionship in public, so people will believe you. I cant tell the reporters that you were ying mahjong or studying music together the whole night, said Xiang Wan seriously. Even if you dont tell, sooner orter people will still find out that you used to be ssmates. After all, you have other school mates.


    I get it. Yan Su was touched. Xiang, dont you me me?


    Why would I? If you slept with him, Id know. I helped you start your career. Dont I know what kind of person you are? Xiang Wan nced at her ndly and said, Youre honest. Not every artist follows all of my arrangements like you do.


    Yan Su was stunned, then gave a bitter smile. Xiang Wan was only her manager, yet she believed what she said. Mo Liuxi was her boyfriend. They lived together, went to school together, had meals together, but he didnt trust her.


    That afternoon, Chen Chen visited Star Music under Xiang Wans arrangement.


    Shi Xiang didnt show up but Chen Chen and Xiang Wan both agreed to go public with Shi Xiangs past.


    Before leaving, Chen Chen said to Yan Su in private, I think Jin Yon called the reporters with an anonymous phone and gave them your location.

 Chapter 1114. The More He Cares, The Angrier He Gets

    Chapter 1114. The More He Cares, The Angrier He Gets


    Yan Su was shocked. She was wondering how the reporters found them, and she even suspected that Shi Xiang hired them.


    Ive asked around. Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and said, She probably did that to distract us. She wants to keep our hands full, so we cant give her trouble.


    Yan Su understood. What a sneaky woman. Indeed, what happened between her and Shi Xiang was big news now.


    Thank you for keeping it secret. Dont worry, we wont let this affect your reputation. Shi Xiang told me about it before I came here. Chen Chen finished talking and left.


    Yan Su gazed at Chen Chens back.


    Jiaojiao walked up to her, handed her a new phone and said, Ive reissued your phone card. Dont lose your phone again.


    Thank you. Yan Su took it over.


    Jiaojiao hesitated then said, How are things going with you and Mr. Mo? Was he angry when he read the news?


    Yan Su dropped her head and didnt know what to say.


    Jiaojiao sighed and said continued with, You two were in such a good rtionship. I dont know why you met Shi Xiang. To be honest, if I were him, Id feel deeply betrayed.


    Yan Su stayed silent for a while, then couldnt help but argue saying, But a rtionship can be built upon trust. You see, you and Miss. Xiang believe what I said


    Thats because were not your boyfriend, Jiaojiao interrupted her. If my boyfriend went out for a whole night with another girl, Id feel being betrayed too. I might even break up with him. The more he cares about you, the angrier he gets.


    Yan Su dropped her eyes.


    She thought about how Mo Liuxi might feel, but she wouldnt have asked him to strip and check his body if she were in his ce.


    Jiaojiao, do you really think that he and I are suitable for each other? Yan Su said. That rtionship started too suddenly anyway. Hes so much younger than I am.


    Youre not thinking about getting back together with Shi Xiang, are you? Jiaojiao was surprised.


    How can that be possible? Yan Su hurriedly shook her head and said, Liuxi is good, but sometimes he scares me.


    Jiaojiao looked at her with a weird expression, then responded with, Be careful with your rtionship. Couples break up and get back together, thats a normal thing. Before you get married, youll never know who youre marrying.


    Yan Su was confused.


    On her way back home, Luosang called her and asked about Shi Xiang.


    She didnt say much.


    After learning that nothing was going on between her and Shi Xiang, Luosang didnt ask more questions.


    At 4:00 p.m., Shi Xiang released an announcement on WeiboYan Su and I knew each other since high school. We were each others first love. Later, we broke up. Some reporters took a picture of us in a hotelst night. We were in the hotel together, but things werent like what some people might think. We were trying to make it clear to each other about our past rtionship and give each other closure. Also, my assistant was in the room with us. I wasnt able to drop the rtionship before, but after a long conversationst night, both Yan Su and I realized that we are not able to go back. We wish each other the best.


    Yan Su re-posted it and added I wish Shi Xiang a good life.


    Within one hour, over thirty-thousandments were left under that post.


    Some said that was something to celebrate, some felt pity. Some of their old ssmates showed up online and said that they were a sweet couple, and that people used to believe they would be together forever, and never leave each other

 Chapter 1115. Hes Drinking With Me

    Chapter 1115. He''s Drinking With Me


    Reading thements, Yan Su didnt feel good. She knew that Mo Liuxi would be angry if he saw them. She wanted to call him but was afraid to do so. It looked as if he wasnt home tonight. The light in his room was off.


    Thinking about how angry he was in the morning, Yan Su was a little worried. She hesitated for a while but then finally called him.


    The call wasnt answered. What was he doing? Would he be angry when he saw the Weibo post? That was her only choice.


    Feeling troubled, she sat on the couch with her arms around her knees. She waited until twelve, but Mo Liuxi still hadnte home. She was getting more and more worried. Mo Liuxi liked to stay at home, so she didnt know what he was doing out sote.


    He didnt have many friends. Zhang Hongchuan was his only friend in school.


    She spent some time trying to find Zhang Hongchuans WeChat number from a talking group from her school. Thankfully, Zhang Hongchuan epted her friend request right away.


    She asked for his phone number, then called him.


    Did Liuxi go to school earlier today?


    After a short silence, Zhang Hongchuan replied with, Hes here drinking with me.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    Zhang Hongchuan sighed. He drank a lot and hes in a bad mood. I rarely see him like this. Before he got drunk, he told me that I should keep a close eye on him in case some other women try to steal him from you.


    Yan Su wanted to cry. She couldnt imagine how Mo Liuxi got himself drunk. Where are you now? Ill Ille find you.


    Dont. Youre a star. They took a picture of you and Shi Xiang at the hotel yesterday. If they took a picture of you and Mo Liuxi together, people would scold you to death. Zhang Hongchuan hurriedly said, Just get some rest. Ill bring him to my ceter.


    Thank you.


    After ending the call, Yan Su couldnt focus. Shey on the bed, without getting any sleep.


    The next day, she went to school early in the morning.


    The whole world had heard about the story between her and Shi Xiang. Her schoolmates strangely looked at her.


    During the lunch break, Yan Su saw Zhang Hongchuan and learned that Mo Liuxi was at thewn near theke. She went there, and finally found him under a tree. He was lying on the ground, sleeping. It was a sunny day, but still, the weather was cold in the winter.


    Yan Su walked over and looked at him. He was wearing the same clothes that he wore yesterday. His eyes were closed, but the dark circles under his eyes were obvious.


    She looked at him and recalled what he did to her yesterday. She was still a little afraid of him.


    Thinking that he got himself drunkst night, she also felt sad. Atst, she called his name with a dry voice, Liuxi


    Mo Liuxi heard her footsteps long ago but didnt open his eyes before she called him. He gave a sneer and said, We are in the school. You always kept a distance from me in school. Why are you talking to me now? Arent you afraid that people might see us?


    If I didnt rify it, people would soon dig it out. Yan Su exined with a low voice, Thats the discussion made by both ourpanies.


    So you ended your rtionship in that room. Mo Liuxi smiled coldly and said, Youre my girlfriend. What was there to end between you and him? Was is so hard to break up with him? Did you need the whole night to do that? Only idiots would believe you.


    Yan Su didnt want to face that sarcastic look in his eyes. She turned to theke and said, Liuxi, you can choose not to believe me. But yesterday didnt you check my body from the inside to the outside? Did it look like that Ive cheated on you? You can leave marks on me merely by making out with me, but I had nothing on my skin yesterday.

 Chapter 1116. Because of You, I Started to Feel Music

    Chapter 1116. Because of You, I Started to Feel Music


    Mo Liuxi clenched his fist. She was right. He found nothing on her yesterday.


    Nothing happened between her and Shi Xiang, but he was still angry at her because she was in a hotel room with another man for a whole night without telling him. She lied to him, and she threw up when he tried to kiss her.


    Yan Su sat down beside him and continued saying, I admit that I was wrong to lie to you. I should tell you what exactly happenedst night, but I cant. I really cant. I promised not to tell. Its not because I care about Shi Xiang its just that I have to keep my word. If its my own secret, Id tell you everything, but its not.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent.


    To be honest, Mo Liuxi didnt have a good impression of Shi Xiang. The first time he met him, Shi Xiang acted arrogant and bullied Xu Luosang. He imed that he loved Yan Su, but when someone tried to take advantage of her, he was too much of a coward to protect her.


    He despised people like that.


    However, a man like that made Yan Su leave her home, made her spend years waiting for him like an idiot, and now, he made her keep his secret.


    Youre afraid that telling me the secret might hurt Shi Xiang, right? Mo Liuxi suddenly figured it out.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say. She sensed his teasing tone. He felt that she was trying to protect Shi Xiang.


    In fact, she would have no reason to protect Shi Xiang, if thetter didnt sacrifice himself for herst night.


    Liuxi, what I had with him is already gone.


    Yan Su thought briefly and said, The announcement has made it very clear, and he had thought through it. I never told you this before, but I tried so hard to be a star because I couldnt let myself be abandoned and harmed by him like that. I swore to myself that Id climb as high as he had, and Id make him regret. But I dont know when it started; hes growing less and less important in my heart. Maybe it started that day you waited for me toe home, or that day we officially got together, or that day you flew to Singapore for me


    Mo Liuxis heart leaped. He turned and looked at her sallow face under the sunlight.


    Because of you, I started to feel music for what it really is. Its no longer my tool for revenge.


    Yan Su looked at him in the eyes and said with honesty, I learned to work hard for my dream, because of you. I dont know if youll believe me. Maybe its because we havent been together for long, or because were both young. Neither of us can trust each other a hundred percent. I understand how you feel. After all, I was once betrayed. I am now a person with a very low sense of security. I dont know how long our rtionship willst, but I want to make it clear with you that, I never cheated on you.


    After saying that, she stood up, then continued with, Its cold now. Lying here might give you a cold. And dont drink so much. Its not healthy. If its really hard for you, we can give each other some time and space. Time will prove to you that nothing is going on between me and Shi Xiang. Not the way you think.how you made me strip in front of you for you to check


    After she finished talking, she bit her lip and turned to leave


    Mo Liuxi looked at her back and had a veryplicated feeling as if someone was squeezing his heart.

 Chapter 1117. Ill Tell Luo That You Dont Want to Eat Because You Just Broke Up With Your Girlfriend

    Chapter 1117. I''ll Tell Luo That You Don''t Want to Eat Because You Just Broke Up With Your Girlfriend


    He didnt know why he used that extreme method yesterday. Perhaps, jealousy disabled him from thinking. He had always been a calm person, but yesterday, he lost control. However, he never thought about breaking up with her. He wouldnt break up with her, unless she had really slept with Shi Xiang. Perhaps, that was how it felt when someone liked another person. The words break up were too heavy to be mentioned.


    Yan Su might be right.


    He was too sensitive now. Every time he saw her, hed recall everything that happened yesterday, and that would make him feel like he was being eaten by a million ants from the inside.


    That night, he went back to Mo Jins ce. It was dark in the house when he arrived at dusk. He called Mo Jin but she was somewhere noisy.


    Where are you? Im back in the vi. Why arent you here?


    Mo Jin was surprised. Youre back there? Why? I thought youve forgotten about your old mother.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    Im in Switzend, filming a short video. Your father insisted oning along to assist me, said Mo Jin. Go and have dinner at your sisters.


    No need, Ill get something to eat myself. Mo Liuxi hung up the phone in a low spirit. He went into his room,id on the bed and fell asleep. He was so drunkst night that he was still hungover. He slept until someone lifted his quilt.


    He angrily opened his eyes and saw a dark figure standing by his bed. The light was off so the dim light from the outside shone on the figure. He recognized Nian Juntings face. He looked creepy that way.


    What? Mo Liuxi unhappily turned on themp.


    Your sister sent me to invite you to dinner. Nian Junting threw a pair of pants at Mo Liuxi.


    I have no appetite, said Mo Liuxi impatiently. You guys can eat without me.


    Nian Junting turned around and looked at him from head to toe, then said, Did you just end a failed rtionship?


    How can that be possible? Mo Liuxi red at him.


    It might be. Nian Junting nodded. You look lovelorn.


    I dont. Mo Liuxi clenched his teeth.


    All right, Ill tell Luo that youre too upset to eat because you just broke up with someone. Nian Junting nodded and turned.


    Mo Liuxi had no choice but to put on the pants and follow behind him. I didnt break up with anyone. Dont say anything to my sister.


    Nian Junting gave him a sideways nce, then said, Do you know why I attracted your sister?


    Why? Mo Liuxi took the question seriously.


    Because Im not only perfectly handsome but also mature and strong, said Nian Junting proudly. When you grow as mature as I am, you wont have any rivals in love, because youll be stronger than all of them.


    Mo Liuxi felt speechless. He shouldnt have asked him why.


    In the living room, Nian Junting said to Luosang while changing shoes, Your brother is here. He doesnt seem to be in a good mood. He didnt have any dinner but was hiding in bed. I guess he just broke up with someone.


    Mo Liuxi who was also changing his shoes shambled slightly. He couldnt help butin to Luosang, who was confused at that moment. As a CEO, why is he so talkative?


    Why cant a CEO be talkative? Nian Junting looked at him bewilderedly. A CEO needs to attend all sorts of meetings every day. How can a non-talkative person be a good CEO?


    Luosang rolled her eyes, then said to Mo Liuxi, He is a talkative CEO. Just get used to that.

 Chapter 1118. Mr. Nians Tasteless Love Words

    Chapter 1118. Mr. Nian''s Tasteless Love Words


    Nian Junting nodded and said, Dont you like me being talkative? Only a talkative person can say different sweet love words to you every single day. The cold and proud people wont even tell you that they love you. Whats fun about that?


    Luosangughed. Mr. Nian, what love words did you say to me? Why dont I recall any?


    Nian Junting tilted his head, thought for a moment, then said, Do you know that were both awful?


    Why? Luosang was confused.


    Nian Junting curved his lips into a faint smile and said, Youre awfully beautiful, and Im awfully handsome. Were the perfect match for each other.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    He didnt forget topliment himself when saying love words to his wife. But recently, he was indeed getting better and better at saying tasteless love words. At least he was not as sharp-tongued as before.


    Hearing what he said, Mo Liuxi sighed. Have you ever thought about my feelings? I feel sick, he thought.


    However, the interaction between his sister and her husband made him jealous.


    Sister Lan served the food.


    During dinner, Luosang asked Mo Liuxi, Did you really break up with someone?


    How can you believe him? Mo Liuxi responded ndly.


    Youre right. Luosang paused briefly, then nodded.


    On hearing that, Nian Junting put on a long face. Luo, what do you mean? Dont you believe me?


    Its not like that. I just feel that youre not a love expert. Luosang tried her best to make it sound less offensive. After all, she couldnt straightforwardly tell him that he had low EQ.


    Nian Junting knitted his eyebrows andughed with anger. How ridiculous. If Im not a love expert, how did I turn you into my wife? Twenty yuan I bet he broke up with someone.


    Mo Liuxi buried his forehead in his palm and said, Cant you make a more generous bet?


    How could a CEO bet with twenty yuan?


    Nian Junting rolled his eyes and said, I only have twenty yuan in my WeChat ount. Your sister took all my money.


    Mo Liuxi looked at his sister in shock. What a cruel woman.


    Eh-hem. Luosang exined saying, I had to. He spent a lot of money behind my back. Last time we went to an auto show I said that a Lamborghini was pretty, and he bought it. Do you know how much that car cost? Eight million. Do you think its necessary to buy such an expensive car?


    Mo Liuxi nodded, then turned to Nian Junting and said, Thats really not necessary. Dont you have a Bugatti Veyron limited edition in your garage? You shouldnt spend your money like that, even though youre rich.


    That was a gift for your sister. Nian Junting wore an innocent face.


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say. He was a man, but he was jealous of his sister.


    Eh-hem. He turned back to Luosang and said, If he spent the money on you, I dont think you should take away all his money.


    Of course I should. Luosang nodded and continued exining, Last time he went to an auction he ended up spending a hundred million to buy me a bracelet from thest century. Do you know how badly my heart burned? What if he bought every super expensive thing that I casually said is nice?


    Whats the big deal? Nian Junting said ndly. Just buy them. Luo, seriously, youre being too stingy to yourself. You can be stingy to me, but I forbid you to treat yourself like that.


    Mo Liuxi regretteding back.


    What was he doing there? To learn how happy those two were? It was terrible.

 Chapter 1119. Every Single Day With You Is Like the First Day of Our Marriage

    Chapter 1119. Every Single Day With You Is Like the First Day of Our Marriage


    He was a guy, but he could be jealous of a girl who had met a nice guy.


    Before, he thought that Nian Junting was an old, freaky guy, but now, he learned how nice he could be.


    Luosang was touched. If Mo Liuxi wasnt there, she would have kissed her husband.


    If those words came from another man, it might only be sweet-talking, but it came from Nian Junting, and she knew that he meant it.


    Junting, I know that youre generous to me, but youve already provided me with a very good life. I have no need for such a luxurious life. You earned your money with hard work, said Luosang gently.


    Thats not hard. Nian Junting shook his head and said, For me, making money is very easy. I dont understand why is it so hard for some people. Isnt that super easy? You just need a smart brain.


    Luosang didnt know how to respond. She wanted to twist Nian Juntings ears.


    She was one of those who had to work really hard for money. How could he say that in front of her?


    Yeah, making money is easy. Mo Liuxi agreed with Nian Junting.


    Luosang had no words to say to both of them. She, as the only one who found making money hard, could only focus on the food.


    A short whileter, she thought of the original topic, and hurriedly brought it up again. Liuxi, did something happen to you? Have you really met a girl that you like? Mom said that youre being strangetely. Today is not a weekend, but youre back here. We invited you for dinner, yet you prefer to stay in bed.


    Yeah, I came here to visit Mom because Im about to join the film crew, Mo Liuxi responded ndly while eating. I didnt want toe here for dinner because I didnt want to be a gooseberry between you two.


    Theres no such thing. Were like an old couple. Luosangughed.


    Nian Junting wasnt happy to hear that. What old couple? Every day with you is like the first day of our marriage.


    Mo Liuxis hands shivered when he heard that. He considered himself as someone good at saying love words, but inparison with Nian Junting, he was far from being shameless enough.


    If he married Yan Su, he might feel the same as how Nian Junting felt now. He was so jealous of him.


    Liuxi, what are you thinking about? Luosang sensed that he was distracted.


    Hes probably jealous of us. Nian Junting peeled her a shrimp.


    Mo Liuxi honestly didnt know what to say.


    Im jealous of him. Hes only twenty. How great is that? He has a lot of time to waste. Luosang smiled.


    Stop talking about me, said Mo Liuxi, If you have so much time to worry about me, you might as well talk to your best friend.


    Luosang thought that he was just trying to change the topic. However, the new topic brought up her interest.


    Yan Su? Do you mean that thing between her and Shi Xiang? Ive read the news too.


    You should have talked to her then. Mo Liuxi pretended to focus on his shrimp. Didnt you tell me that Shi Xiang is no good? He bullied you in Shanghai. Ive met him a couple of times; hes a hypocrite and just average. Yan Su is so blind. Well, I noticed that since I met her.


    Nian Junting nodded and said, Yeah, the fact that she and your sister are friends proves your point. But of course your sister brightened her eyes and found me atst. Yan Su submerged in her mistake and never found a way out.


    Strangely, Mo Liuxi found Nian Juntings words quite reasonable. Yan Su was blind indeed.


    He couldnt help but nod.

 Chapter 1120. You Should Talk to Her and Convince Her to Learn More About Lu Kang

    Chapter 1120. You Should Talk to Her and Convince Her to Learn More About Lu Kang


    Seeing them take the same side, Luosang was speechless. How awful was the taste in men of her and Yan Su?


    Its only one scandal. Yan Su and Shi Xiang have rified it, Luosang said. Ive read thements under the post. People think theyre a good match.


    Mo Liuxi couldnt help but snort. Luosang and Nian Junting turned to him.


    He nodded coldly and said, Yeah. A hypocrite and a blind girl, what a sweet couple.


    Can you let me finish? Luosang rolled her eyes and said, In fact, if they are together openly, most of their fans will support them. After all, theyre each others first love. But in fact, Shi Xiang is a scum. However, they announced that theyll never get back together, meaning that they have reached some kind of agreement and they really wont get back together.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and said, But the reporter took a picture of theming out of a hotel together. They were in a hotel room together the whole night. What could they possibly do in there?


    Em. Nian Junting nodded to agree, They must have had sex.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxi immediately wore a sour face.


    Luosang red at Nian Junting, then said, Ive asked Su about it. She said no, and the answer is no. Besides, shes a careful person. Shes never


    Mo Liuxis heart leaped. But still, he pretended not to care. He asked casually, Never what?


    She wont have random sex anyway, Luosang said. I lived together with her before. No one knows her better than I do. Back then, Shi Xiang bullied me in Shanghai, I came back and told Su that he was being with another woman in Korea. She chose to believe me and broke up with him with no hesitation. It means that she couldnt stand being cheated, and she would never do that herself. She wants her rtionship to be pure. Once, she attended a TV show and met Shi Xiang. That time, she came back and told me that Shi Xiang has changed a lot. He became arrogant, and she doesnt like it. They would never get back together unless Shi Xiang didnt sleep with another woman, or, he turned back into the person she knew. The problem is, can that superstar possibly turn back into a humble boy like he used to be? If Su can give up her own bottom line for him, she wouldnt have broken up with him in the first ce. Since theyve already broken up, they wont possibly get back together, not to mention having sex after they broke up. Why? Cant she have sex with a clean man?


    Luosang finished her speech in one breath. As the two men stayed silent, she waved her hand and said, Whatever. Why would I say so much to you two? Thats Yan Sus own business.


    Not exactly. Mo Liuxi picked some vegetables for himself and said, After all, shes your good friend. If she was fooled and ended up being pregnant and losing everything she has


    If that happened, what else could I say? Thats her own choice, and she should suffer the consequences. Luosang interrupted him saying, Also, if that really happened, I wouldnt feel pity for her, even if she came to me and cried about it. Some girls fall for the men who treat them badly and cant stop loving them with all their hearts. I dont like those girls. They deserve all the bitterness they suffer. I believe Su isnt one of those girls. Shes my friend, so she should be like me.


    If you ask me, Id say that you should talk to her and convince her to learn more about Lu Kang, said Nian Junting with a low voice. Lu Kang is nice.

 Chapter 1121. Ive Calmed Myself

    Chapter 1121. I''ve Calmed Myself


    Mo Liuxi couldnt bear listening to that. Why did he mention Lu Kang? Which part of Lu Kang was good enough for Yan Su?


    After dinner, Sister Lan served fruit. Nian Junting sat on the couch, peeling grapefruits for Luosang.


    Watching that, Mo Liuxi suddenly felt that maybe he wasnt nice enough to Yan Su. He thought for a moment and asked Nian Junting, You two are in such a good rtionship now. What if my sister cheated on you someday?


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and asked Luosang coldly, Are you gonna cheat on me?


    Luosang nearly choked on the grapefruit. She gave Mo Liuxi a re andined asking, How can you make that hypothesis?


    Mo Liuxi shrugged and said, I was just asking.


    Nian Junting smiled. Of course, Ill break her legs.


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say.


    He quickly finished dinner and left. He didnt stay there for long, but he did listen to what Luosang said. Perhaps he should calm down. There might be a special reason for Yan Su to do what she did.


    Also, based on what Luosang said, Yan Su probably never slept with Shi Xiang. They were together for years. If they didnt do it before, why would they do it after they broke up?


    I feel that Liuxi is being a little strange. Luosang gave a sigh after Mo Liuxi left.


    I told you that hes in love. You wouldnt listen. Did you hear what he asked me just now? Im sure that his girlfriend cheated on him. Nian Junting gave her a proud nce and said, But, you should keep your nose out of it. Youre going to give birth soon. Hes a grown man, and hell be fine. He wont kill himself for a girl.


    Luosang nodded. Mo Liuxi was a mature person indeed. She wasnt worried about that.


    Mo Liuxi slept in his mothers house for the night, got up at 6:00 a.m. and drove back to his apartment.


    Yan Su didnt sleep well before, sost night she came home and fell into a deep sleep until someone banged on the door to wake her up.


    She opened the door and saw Mo Liuxi standing there. You you didnte backst night, did you? She was stunned.


    Yet you slept well. Its half-past seven already and youre still in bed. Mo Liuxi walked in and changed his shoes. We had a fight. Didnt you lose your sleep because of that? I barely sleptst night.


    Yan Su scratched her scalp. He was ignoring her yesterday, but today, he came to talk to her so early in the morning and he talked so much. What did he mean?


    She thought briefly, then said with a bitter smile, Are you here to have another fight with me because you couldnt sleep?


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. Was he that kind of a boring person?


    Last night, he spent the entire night telling himself to forget about that day, and to trust her. He almost brainwashed himself, but still, he couldnt pretend nothing happened.


    Didnt you say that we both needed to calm down yesterday? I have calmed myself.


    After saying that, he threw himself onto her couch, wearing a cold face.


    Yan Su was a little confused. She didnt know how to react. Did he calm himself over one night? That usually took a while, right?


    After a short silence, Mo Liuxi gave her three words saying, Im hungry.


    Yan Su stayed quiet for a while, then turned and went to the kitchen to make pork congee, and boiled eggs. After that, she washed up and changed.


    Half an hourter, the two of them sat at the dining table, with the steaming congee before them.

 Chapter 1122. I Shouldnt Have Lied to You

    Chapter 1122. I Shouldn''t Have Lied to You


    Mo Liuxi ate a little. The vor was the same, but he still felt annoyed. Atst, he dropped the spoon and said, Yan Su, one day, if you found that you dont like me anymore, or that youve fallen in love with another guy, you can just tell me. Dont cheat on me, nor end our rtionship in the worst way. I know the difference between pursuing someone you like and bothering someone and hoping that shell ept you.


    To be honest, this is my first rtionship. Its not the same for you. I want my first love to be beautiful, and of course, I want the best result.. that we keep loving each other, and get married like my sister and her husband.


    Yesterday, he didnt spend too much time in Luosangs ce. However, the way Luosang and Nian Junting lived their lives together made him think a lot.


    Like being married to you for ten years, thirty years, but still feeling like its the first day of our marriage, every day.


    That was the life and love he wanted.


    Yan Sus hands shivered. She, of course, wanted the same thing.


    Liuxi, if you believe me, I can tell you that as long as you dont cheat on me or hurt me, I wont leave you. Yan Su thought for a moment and said with aplicated feeling, The day before yesterday, we were both not cool enough. I hope that you wont check me in that way again. You scared me and disrespected me. Im a person. Of course, you may not think of me as a person at that moment. You probably thought of me as a sluttish woman, so you felt that checking me like that meant nothing to me. But for me it was humiliating because I believe Im innocent.


    Im sorry.


    Mo Liuxis heart burned instantly. He dropped his head and apologized.


    He didnt know why he did that. It was as if jealousy messed up his mind and disabled him from controlling himself.


    He clearly remembered her saying that she hated him.


    At that very moment, he hated her too.


    I let you do that because I felt sorry for lying to you and being unable to exin it. Yan Su told the truth. That doesnt mean that I dont mind taking off my clothes to let you check if Im a used thing.


    Stop. Mo Liuxi couldnt bear listening to that. His veins throbbed in his temples. I never saw you as a thing.


    Yan Su dropped her eyes and continued with, I was wrong too. I shouldnt have lied to you. In the future, I dont think Ill ever see Shi Xiang in private. I may meet him at work, but Ill tell you about it honestly.


    Em. Mo Liuxi responded with a low voice, Just have the breakfast.


    The dining room fell into silence again. They had the breakfast, both feeling awkward.


    At 8:40 a.m., Yan Su picked up her bag and left for school. Mo Liuxi followed behind her, keeping a distance of about ten meters.


    After lunch, Mo Liuxi sat in a depressed mood by the rest area near the yground, watching some other boys ying basketball.


    Zhang Hongchuan came to him with a bottle of water and said, Havent you guys made up yet?


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent for a while, then nced at him, saying with a low voice, We have, but I feel weird as if theres suddenly a gap between us. I dont know how to get back to the way we used to be.

 Chapter 1123. Sing a Love Song Together

    Chapter 1123. Sing a Love Song Together


    Yeah, a small fight can bring you closer to each other, but a big fight might hurt your rtionship. Zhang Hongchuan sighed. If you cant fix that gap, you are not the right person for each other. Think positively. Youre both young. Couples break up, so thats a normal thing. Besides, Yan Su is going to graduate soon. She barely has sses in the next school term. Many college couples break up when they graduate


    Before he could finish, he was shrouded in coldness. Mo Liuxi stood up and said, Do you know how to talk or not? Why arent we the right person for each other? Those couples broke up because they had to. Some of them left school and returned to their hometowns for work. Both Yan Su and I have jobs already. We dont need to worry about that


    Zhang Hongchuan blinked and said, Except for that many college couples broke up because they couldnt give each other a sense of security. Liuxi, I dont care how much you two have been through together, youre both not yet mature enough. Some people get married at twenty-eight, but still need to carefully find a way to maintain their rtionship and face the risk of getting a divorce. We are still college students after all.


    Mo Liuxi fell into silence. He stared at the boys on the yground for a while, then turned and left.


    Two dayster, Xia City TV station invited Director Lis crew for rehearsal. Mo Liuxi went there with Director Li and the others. Yan Su arrivedter with her manager.


    They would be on the stage for ten minutes; each group had about three minutes. They rehearsed group by group and when Director Li and Ye Yunyang were rehearsing, Yan Su and Mo Liuxi talked about the song they were going to sing. They were going to sing a love song together.


    If you cant find the right tone, you can record it in advance, have it adjusted, and then pretend to sing at the show. They sat together in silence for a while, then Yan Su started the conversation.


    No, Mo Liuxi rejected the idea without thinking. Its just singing. How difficult is it?


    If Shi Xiang was able to do it, so could he.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    When they got on stage, things started going out of control. Mo Liuxi waspletely out of tune, so Yan Su needed to try very hard to stay with the right tune.


    After a few rounds of rehearsal, the directors face twitched more and more.


    He called a halt, then said, Liuxi, I think you should sing together with Yan Siqian in the studio and get your voices adjusted, then do lip-synching at the show. Yan Su should sing with Ye Yunyang. They can sing a high-pitched love song together. Theyll definitely create a beautiful atmosphere. Theyre both professionals.


    Mo Liuxi made no expression after hearing that. Do you think that I sing as badly as Yan Ziqian does?


    Yan Ziqian couldnt help but argue saying, My singing is fine. I sing better than you do. At least Im not off tune. I just cant do the high notes.


    Ziqian, dont be so straightforward, Director Li said.


    Mo Liuxi nced at Director Li. Anyhow, he wouldnt switch ces with Ye Yunyang.


    Director Li sighed and said, I dont think thatll be good. Dont you people say that Liuxi and Yan Su make a lovely couple?


    The show directorughed. Not anymore. The best couple would be Shi Xiang and Yan Su. Theyd be the perfect couple. Anyway, why didnt you bring Shi Xiang this time? What a shame.


    Yan Su frowned. Mo Liuxi couldnt help but say coldly, Theyve made big news. Are you looking forward to a hype? Were here to advertise our film, not generate news. If thats that you want, Im sorry, were the wrong people.

 Chapter 1124. Arent You Coaxing Me?

    Chapter 1124. Aren''t You Coaxing Me?


    The show director didnt respond. Director Li said with an unhappy tone, I think we should stick with the n. Dont always make changes. Our Liuxi is a handsome boy so the audience wont care if hes good at singing or not. Seeing his face will be enough. If you really think hes singing is not good enough, just let him dance.


    On hearing that, Yan Su wanted tough. Director Li was turning more and more like Mo Liuxi.


    The director thought for a moment and said, Let him dance then. Yan Su will sing alone. Ill find him a dancing teacher. It might be a little difficult, though.


    Mo Liuxi frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded. Soonter, Mo Liuxi was guided to another room to learn how to dance.


    Yan Su went to see him after the rehearsal. He was learning to dance with clumsy moves. His body was stiff and robotic, and that made the dancing teacher shake his head.


    You guys go home. Director Li sighed. I think itll at least take him a day. I dont get it. Why wouldnt he sing together with Yang Ziqian? And why did he refuse to do the lip-synching? Hes not a professional singer. Even if people found out about it, they wouldnt say anything.


    Cheng Sheng and Yang Zixian both raised their eyebrows and nced at Yan Su knowingly.


    Eh-hem. Director Li coughed. Theres no need to wait.


    The others had work to do, including Yan Su. She said goodbye to Mo Liuxi and left. When she got home at 10:00 p.m., Mo Liuxi was still not there.


    She called him and heard music through the phone. Are you still practicing?


    Yeah. Mo Liuxi gasped. Dont wait up. I wont be back until about midnight.


    How could Yan Su possibly sleep? After all, Mo Liuxi worked so hard because he wanted to perform together with her.


    At midnight, she sat on the couch and heard a noise from next door. He didnte to her side.


    She waited for a while, yet, he didnte.


    She couldnt describe how she felt. She was not a slow-minded person. Girls were always more sensitive than guys. Recently, she and Mo Liuxi made peace, but still, they didnt feel right. They werent as close to each other as they used to be. Before, Mo Liuxi woulde straight to her ce and try everything to stay in her room for the night.


    She hesitated briefly, then stood up to knock on his door.


    The door wasnt answered immediately. Before she turned and left, it was opened. Mo Liuxis hair was moist, and his upper body was bare. He was wearing thin pajama pants. Obviously, he put the pants on in haste, because they were worn inside out.


    Why are you still up? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows with surprise.


    Yan Su lowered her head awkwardly and said, Hows the dancing going?


    Fine. Mo Liuxi murmured. He was a little frustrated.


    He was a proud person, but recently he also got frustrated. He couldnt sing well and couldnt dance well either. The dancing teacher criticized him for his robotic moves.


    Yan Su noticed the look on his face. She could tell how he felt because she used to learn dancing when she was little. For people who never learned how to dance, it could be very hard. For the gifted dancers, learning a new movement might only take a few hours. However, he spent a whole afternoon and a whole evening. It proved one thinghe was not good at dancing.


    Liuxi, the director is right. Youre not a star, so you dont need to be a professional dancer or singer said Yan Su with hesitation. You dont need topare yourself with Shi Xiang. In my eyes, youre better than him.


    There was something that he didnt speak out loud, but that didnt mean she doesnt understand how he felt.


    Mo Liuxi blinked, then pulled her straight into his arms and said, Arent you coaxing me?

 Chapter 1125. Sleep in My Room

    Chapter 1125. Sleep in My Room


    The two of them hadnt been so close for a while. Yan Su was dazed when her nose touched his chest. She nodded and said, Im not lying. Theres nothing topare between you and him. Youre a director, and hes a singer. Isnt directing more difficult for a singer than singing is for a director? Take my rival in love, An Ning as an example. If you asked me to be as crazy as she is, I wouldnt be able to do it.


    Hearing An Nings name, Mo Liuxis entire face twitched.


    Shes not your rival in love. Shes not even good enough to carry shoes for you. Shes lower than my level.


    Yan Su smiled silently.


    Tonight sleep at my ce. Mo Liuxi rxed his embrace a little and dropped his head to look at her face.


    Under his gaze, Yan Su wore a slightly embarrassed look. They had shared a bed before, but recently, there seemed to be an invisible wall between them. Now, his sudden invitation made her cheeks redden, but still, she nodded.


    His bed wasrge and both of them could lie on the bedfortably. It waste, and they both had a long day. They were both tired so Yan Suy in his arms and soon fell asleep.


    The next day, Mo Liuxi woke up first. He was exhaustedst night, but after having a good sleep, he couldnt help but feel aroused when he opened his eyes to see the woman who was lying upon his chest. Recently, as the two of them were fighting, he didnt even make out with her.


    She was still asleep but was extremely beautiful. Mo Liuxi lowered his head and kissed her lips.


    Yan Su opened her eyes with difort, as she felt that half of her body was cold and the other half was hot.


    Seeing the sweating Mo Liuxi, she was surprised. As she opened her mouth to try to say something, he raised his head and kissed her deeply, and didnt stop until she felt thirsty and dizzy.


    His kissesnded on other areas of her body. That numb and itchy feeling was sensed from every corner of her body.


    In haste, Mo Liuxi got up and opened the drawer of his nightstand. Yan Su opened her misty eyes and saw him take out a brand-new box of condoms.


    Her heart skipped a beat. She knew he would stop before anything really happened like he always did.


    You


    What? Am I not allowed to collect these things like you do? Mo Liuxi turned and looked at her straight in the eyes and said, As a man who has a girlfriend, shouldnt I prepare some of these? I cant go all the way to your ce to take them when theyre needed, can I?


    Yan Su was wildly awake at that moment. What what time it is? ss is starting soon, right?


    Silly. We have no ss today. Its Christmas Eve tonight. Mo Liuxi put his hands on both sides of her head, seductively smiled at her and said, Su, I want to use these today. Were still students, so I wont get you pregnant yet.


    He made it sound very reasonable. Yan Su had epted him as her boyfriend and having sex with him would be no big deal. After all, they had done it once before. It started so suddenly and she was so unprepared.


    Arent you willing to do it with me? Noticing the look on her face, Mo Liuxi raised his brows.


    I am


    Then theres no problem, Mo Liuxi opened the box. He was nning on making her ask for it herself, but after all that had happened, he found that he couldnt wait anymore.


    He wanted her now.

 Chapter 1126. Dont Misunderstand. Its Not Like What You Think

    Chapter 1126. Don''t Misunderstand. It''s Not Like What You Think


    Only after that could he stop worrying.


    At present, he felt that all he had with her was air that he couldnt touch.


    Yan Su saw the determined look in his eyes. She liked him, but after what happened that night, she felt a repulsion toward sex.


    She told herself not to think about it. However, before it started, she couldnt help but feel sick.


    Hurriedly, she pushed him away andid by the bedside vomiting. She hadnt eaten anything yet, so her gastric juice wasing up. She tasted a strong bitterness.


    Looking at her back, Mo Liuxis face turned frosty.


    The first time, she said that she wasnt feeling well, but the same thing happened again. It could not be an ident.


    Yan Su stopped vomiting and found the room strangely quietly. She hurriedly turned back and looked into Mo Liuxis cold eyes.


    Liuxi, its not what you think. Dont misunderstand, she hurriedly exined.


    Why then? Mo Liuxi clenched his fists and told himself to calm down. Dont tell me that youre sick again. Youre having such a long cold.


    Yan Su couldnt exin. What happened in the hotel affected her strongly. She didnt feel as great as she did before about sex. She didnt realize it at first, but now, she knew the problem.


    As she stayed silent, Mo Liuxi put on his pants and got up from the bed.


    Liuxi Yan Su held his hand.


    Mo Liuxi turned to her with aplicated look. You werent like this before. Ever since that night, I touched you twice and you reacted like this both times. Yan Su, do you hate me touching you now? You dont like me anymore? Youre just forcing yourself to ept me. Is it like that?


    No. If I didnt like you, why would I force myself to ept you? Yan Su gave a bitter smile. Believe it or not, I can tell you that I may have an issue with that thing. Give me some time.


    Why do you have an issue with it? Mo Liuxi furrowed his eyebrows into a deep frown. Did Shi Xiang do something to you that night?


    No Yan Su turned her face away.


    You better tell me, or Ill go and ask him, Mo Liuxi stood up.


    Yan Su gave a start. Shi Xiang might be suffering severe pain every single day. Asking him about why she felt sick during sex would be like stabbing him in the heart.


    Liuxi, dont. Yan Su hurriedly held his waist and said, He doesnt know. It has nothing to do with him.


    Tell me why you were sick then. Mo Liuxi turned and questioned her.


    Yan Su opened her mouth, paused briefly, then mumbled, Earlier, during an event, I witnessed a girl being raped. I was scared.


    Why didnt you tell me about it? Mo Liuxi observed her expression, thenughed. Yan Su, you were lying. Every time you told a lie, you didnt dare to look at me in the eyes.


    Yan Su bit her lip and said, Sometimes, you thought I was telling a lie when I wasnt. Liuxi, theres something not good that I dont want to tell.


    Mo Liuxi didnt know how to respond.


    The two of them spent a short while looking at each other. Atst, Mo Liuxi turned and left the room.


    Yan Su put her head on her knees, feeling deeply troubled.


    Because of what happened that morning, neither of them talked to each other. Mo Liuxi left after breakfast, and Yan Su waited until Jiaojiao came to pick her up.

 Chapter 1127. My Son Came to the World

    Chapter 1127. My Son Came to the World


    Jiaojiao found her face ghastly pale. Su, are you okay? she asked.


    Jiaojiao, do you know of any shrinks? Yan Su said with a bitter look.


    Whats wrong? Jiaojiao gave a start. Artists these days were facing a lot of pressure, so many of them had mental problems. Their assistants were the ones who worried about it the most.


    I think I need to see a shrink, Yan Su said with a low voice. She had to solve the problem, or no man would be able to ept her. No matter how much he loved her, her condition would eventually affect their rtionship.


    Can you tell me what its about? Jiaojiao asked.


    Yan Su stayed silent. How was she supposed to exin? She couldnt tell Jiaojiao that she always felt sick during sex, could she?


    All right, Ill find a reliable shrink. But, if its a private issue, we need to be careful when choosing the shrink.


    In the nanny van, Jiaojiao handed Yan Su an apple and said, Happy Christmas Eve in advance.


    Yan Su paused briefly, took it over and said, Thank you.


    You dont have to eat that. Jiaojiaoughed. Im sure Mr. Mo will prepare a lot of apples for you tonight.


    Yan Su silently looked at the apple in her hands.


    She felt so bitter in her heart. They had a fight in the morning and she wasnt sure if he would prepare apples for her or not.


    She prepared one for him though. However, when she came home, she found that Mo Liuxi wasnt at home. She waited awhile, but he still didnte back.


    She received a message from Shi Xiang wishing her a happy Christmas Eve. At midnight, Yan Su stood on the balcony, looking at the starry sky.


    This Christmas Eve seemed to be the same as every Christmas Eve she had these past years. She had a boyfriend this time, but she felt as if she didnt.


    The rtionship between Mo Liuxi was like the tea in her hands. At first, it was hot, but suddenly, it got cold.


    In the morning, Yan Su checked her friends WeChat moment and saw a post from Nian Junting  My son just came into the world. Ill spank him when he gets older. My baby suffered a lot of pain because of him. Bad boy.


    He also posted a picture of an adorable little baby.


    Yan Su hurriedly sat up and called Luosang. The call wasnt answered. She hesitated briefly, then called Mo Liuxi.


    Sangsang had the baby?


    Yeah,st night. Mo Liuxi sounded tired. Im at the hospital.


    Which one?


    The Second Hospital in Xia City. Mo Liuxi stayed silent for a few seconds, then said, Last night


    Ill be there in a minute. Yan Su ended the call.


    She arrived at the hospital. Once in, she sensed a strong smell of disinfectant, and that nearly made her throw up.


    She pressed a hand on her chest and felt a little suffocated. She didnt know what was wrong with her.


    As she walked into the crowded elevator, a pregnant woman stood beside her. Sheined to her husband. I think Im gonna throw up.


    Youre five months pregnant. Why is your pregnancy reaction still so strong?


    Once the elevator door opened, the woman rushed out. Yan Su felt as if a bomb just went off in her head. She recently wanted to throw up all the time. She wasnt pregnant, was she?


    She did the testst time, and ording to the pregnancy test, she wasnt pregnant. Also, her belly seemed to have grown a littlerger than before. It was not obvious, but her old pants were a little tight and her period waste two months.


    Yan Su didnt know how she walked out of the elevator. She didnt even remember why she came to the hospital.


    Abruptly, someone pulled her from behind. She turned and saw Mo Liuxi standing behind her with a frown.

 Chapter 1128. Our Son and I Will Protect You Together

    Chapter 1128. Our Son and I Will Protect You Together


    Where are you going? The ward is that way. Mo Liuxi looked at her. You seem so absentminded.


    I was thinking about something. Yan Su saw his bloodshot eyes and asked, Were you here the whole night?


    Em. Mo Liuxi moved his thin lips. He wanted to say something but didnt.


    Nian Xi came out of the ward and waved at Yan Su happily. Yan Su, youre here. Come and see my lovely nephew.


    Yan Su walked into the VIP ward. It wasrge, including a guest room and a kitchen. Luosang was lying on the bed, her face ghastly pale. However, she was awake.


    Nian Junting was sitting by her side. Next to them, was a cradle.


    Yan Su walked over to look at the baby. He was in a deep sleep. His little lips were curved, looking adorable. The baby looked a lot like his father. He had a straight nose and delicate lips. He would certainly be a handsome boy.


    Looking at the baby, Yan Sus heart nearly melted. She almost freaked out thinking she might be pregnant but looked at the baby again and her fear was gone.


    Having a baby seemed to be nice.


    Seeing her staring at the baby, Nian Junting said ndly, Stop looking at him. Hes like a wrinkled little mouse. I thought that I, Nian Junting, would have a perfect little baby, but in the end


    Before he could finish, Luosang pinched his thigh.


    Dont you say that about my little apple. Luosang red at him.


    Nian Junting was upset. His wife never looked at him like that before. Now, his ce in her heart had gone straight down to the bottom.


    Luo, are you aware that this little thing made you suffer so much pain. You got six stitches down there. It was all his fault. Hes too fat, so you went through hardbor. The contractions started at 6:00 p.m. yesterday, and you gave birth to him at 11:59 p.m. This little b*stard. I was in despair out there waiting for you. If your father and mine didnt stop me, Id have torn that door into pieces. If anything had happened to you, Id definitely make him suffer too.


    Junting Luosang held his hands, feeling touched. If the room wasnt full of people, she would have kissed him.


    Yesterday, she was in the delivery room, suffering severe pain. Still, she heard Nian Junting yelling out in the hall. His yellingsted as long as her pain. The hospital even had to send a doctor tofort him in.


    Nian Junting looked at her in the eyes affectionately, expecting her to say something tofort him. However, he heard her saying, After all, little apple is your son. Be nice to him.


    No. Ill be nice to you, and thatll be enough. Nian Junting nced at his son with dislike and said, You dont be nice to boys. You make them strong. When he learns how to walk, Ill teach him martial arts. In the future, our son and I will protect you.


    Nian Xi covered her eyes in pain andined, Can you two please think about how other people may feel? Therere a lot of single people in this room.


    She was so jealous of Luosang. She wanted to get married and have a baby.


    Yan Suughed. Luosang was indeed lucky enough to make people jealous. Even though she married a little too early, her man who cared only about her was worth it.


    He was born at 11:59 p.m.?

 Chapter 1129. Isnt Tingting Cheap Enough?

    Chapter 1129. Isn''t Tingting Cheap Enough?


    Yeah. Nian Xiughed. We thought he wouldnte out before Christmas. My brother was gonna name him Little Egg, but he tried so hard toe to this world on Christmas Eve.


    Yan Su felt speechless.


    Perhaps the baby knew what his father thought, so he came out at thest minute before Christmas. Impressive.


    Eh that would be a unique nickname, she smiled and said. If the baby was named Little Egg, he would hate that name when he grew up.


    Luosang gave Nian Junting a re and said, I told you I dont like that name. When I was in the delivery room, he took the opportunity and picked the nicknames. He said if the baby was born at Christmas Eve, hell be called Little Apple, and if it was Christmas, hell be called Little Egg. Thankfully, my son came out before Christmas.


    Nian Junting responded carelessly, Hes a boy. A boy doesnt need a nice nickname. In ancient times, people named their children with the words that sounded cheap, so the kids could grow up good and healthy.


    Why dont you have a cheap nickname then? Luosang couldnt help but ask.


    Nian Junting gave her a cold nce and replied with, Isnt Tingting cheap enough?


    How could Tingting bepared with Little Egg?


    Luosang gave a sigh. Yes, it is, she thought. Youre a cheap father.


    Yan Suughed. I thought your due date was in January.


    Yeah, but the little one couldnt wait. Luosang sighed. Everything was fine yesterday afternoon, but at night, my water suddenly broke. It was normal though. I was already ten months pregnant anyway.


    Did it hurt? Yan Su asked.


    Luosang nodded. I thought Id pass out, but at the time, you have no time to think. All I wanted was for him toe out sooner. Its mostly because Little Apple is a big baby. He weighed nearly four kilograms. Su, if you ever got pregnant, dont let the baby grow toorge, or the birth process might be hard.


    Yan Su nodded.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but ask, Yan Su, why are you listening to that so carefully? Youre young. You have plenty of time to get ready for that.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxi raised his brows and looked at Yan Su. Yan Su blushed a little and said, Well, Ill have a baby sooner orter. Learning a little about it wont do any harm. Oh, where are your other families?


    They were all here until three or four in the morning. I told them to get some rest ande backter, said Nian Junting ndly.


    Yan Su gave Little Apple a red envelope, then had a little chat with Luosang until Little Apple woke up.


    Go and see if he pooed, said Luosang.


    I dont want to. He stinks. Nian Junting didnt move.


    Luosang stared at him angrily.


    Mo Liuxi walked over, carefully lifted the baby and unwrapped the diaper. The baby had really pooed. He wiped the baby with a wet paper towel, then put a clean diaper on him. His movements were a little rusty, but he didnt seem to be disgusted at all.


    Watching him do that, Yan Sus heart leaped. She wasnt expecting him to be more patient to the baby than Nian Junting. He would certainly be a good father in the future.


    With that thought, she felt delighted.


    Nian Xiplimented Mo Liuxi too. Liuxi, youre one of the few good men Ive ever met. If I was five years younger, Id pursue you. My brother is a father now, but still awful. What father doesnt change his sons diapers? Whats worse is that hes afraid of the babys poo. Didnt he poo like that too when he was a baby?


    All right. You do it if youre not afraid of it, said Nian Junting.

 Chapter 1130. Hes Stealing My Rice Bowl

    Chapter 1130. He''s Stealing My Rice Bowl


    Nian Xi shook her head firmly. I cant, its too smelly.


    Luosang and Yan Su were speechless. They were siblings for sure.


    Nian Juntingughed coldly. Youre mindful of it yourself. How could you criticize me?


    You are the biological dad right? Nian Xi rolled her eyes. When I find a partner in the future, I must find someone who doesnt mind changing my babys nappies. Sang, you really have to educate my brother.


    Luosang nodded her head and said to Nian Junting, No matter how smelly it is, you have to learn to change it. Are you telling me that if our baby needs a change in the middle of the night, Id have to get up and do it myself? Why do I need you then? I could just sleep with Sister Lan. At least Id get a good nights rest that way.


    No. Nian Junting looked glum. Sister Lan is so fat. What if she crushes you or our baby apple in the middle of the night?


    Sister Lan wanted to cry when she heard him in the kitchen. She wasnt that fat.


    Luosang frowned. Anyway, Ill sleep with whoever changes the babys diapers.


    Nian Junting was silent now. He took over the diaper and studied it in silence. He finally could be intimate with his wife after the birth of his child, so he didnt want to sleep in separate rooms.


    Afterward, Yan Su chatted with Luosang a bit more before the baby started protesting, crying for milk. Mo Liuxi immediately walked out, but Yan Su and Nian Xi stayed since they were both girls. Nian Junting frowned and said to them, Luosang is about to breastfeed, you should excuse yourselves.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Its fine, isnt it? Were all girls here.


    Of course its not fine, Nian Junting said. No one could see his woman like that, not even other girls.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes. What if your son sees her then?


    Dont remind me. Nian Junting turned and said to Luosang, Why dont we feed him cows milk? Its quite nutritious as well and they have all sorts of form nowadays.


    Luosang was bbergasted. Could this man get any more jealous? How could it be as good as his mothers own milk? If you speak one more word about this.


    Lets go out then. Yan Su smiled and tugged on Nian Xi.


    When the two of them left, Luosang removed her top and started breastfeeding. She had just given birth so she wasnt producing much yet, but the baby was enjoying himself.


    Luosangs maternity instincts kicked in as she looked down at her baby; she didnt want to look away for a second.


    Nian Juntings face leaned in closer. All right Luo, I think hes full enough, heined.


    Luosang was grumpy. Cant you tell hes still eating.


    Hes stealing my rice bowl. Nian Junting was grumpy as well.


    After a while, the nurse came to check on Luosangs wound. Luosang felt embarrassed and asked Nian Junting to leave the room, but he refused as he wanted to check on her as well.


    Luosang was frustrated; she didnt want him to see her at her most vulnerable and unattractive state. Nian Junting, on the other hand, was grabbing onto her hands andforting her. Luo, its been hard on you. I will treat you well in the future topensate you. Lets go to the beach when our baby reaches a month.


    Luosang was stunned, What about our little apple?


    Sister Lan and mother can take care of him, Nian Junting said nonchntly.

 Chapter 1131. You Are a Piece of My Heart

    Chapter 1131. You Are a Piece of My Heart


    Luosang stroked her son. She started to think that she could only count on herself to dote on her baby from now on. You can go by yourself. Ill be at home with our son.


    Nian Junting said grumpily, Whats the point of going alone if youre noting with me?


    Im sorry, my heart is with our son right now. Luosang was staring at her little apple. How could he be so cute drinking milk? How could you ask me to abandon him to go have fun by myself? I cant do that. I cant even be apart from him for a day.


    Nian Juntings face looked ghastly. Luo, youve never even said those kind of words to me before. Howe you can be apart from me then? Tell me, is he more important than me now?


    Luosang was speechless. She didnt understand why he had to be jealous of his own son. Think about it. He is literally a piece of my flesh. What are you?


    Nian Junting red at her. I dont know. You are a piece of my heart.


    This sweet talk


    She blushed before replying, You are a piece of my heart as well.


    Nian Junting grinned before walking over and nting a kiss on her forehead.


    After breastfeeding, Xiao Si arrived and was holding a thick red packet. Luo, this is from Nuanyi and I. Shes too busy today and told me to convey her congrattions.


    Thank you. Luosang was d that he was finally with Ji Nuanyi. When are you two nning on getting married?


    I dont know, itll depend on Nuanyi. Im ready whenever. Xiao Si looked at little apple. Wow, its a boy. Hopefully he doesnt grow up to be as annoying as Tingting.


    Nian Junting mocked him in return. At least he wont be collecting all those inappropriate magazines like you.


    They were attacking each other so Luosang decided to change the subject. Su, I heard that youll be performing with Liuxi tonight for the Christmas event at the Xia City television station.


    Yeah. Yan Su nodded her head. Im singing and I think he will be dancing.


    Hope it goes good! Luosang encouraged her. Ill be tuning in tonight!


    Thank you! Yan Su looked at the clock. Ill drop by when you move back to the vi.


    Sure, remember toe over on New Years Eve! Luosang invited her.


    Yan Su was stunned when she recalled what Mo Liuxi had said to her. She was at a loss of what to say so she mumbled, Ill drop by if Im free.


    After Yan Su left, Mo Liuxi excused himself and said that he wanted to go home to rest.


    When Yan Su got to the entrance of the hospital, someone called out to her. She turned and Mo Liuxi tossed an apple into her hands. Christmas Eve gift.


    Yan Su was stunned. She felt as if her dried-up heart was nourished again. Thank you I prepared one for you too but you never came homest night.


    My sister was inborst night, so I couldnt leave. I had to send my mother home afterward. Mo Liuxi looked away. Im going to the television stationter, so well go separately.


    Hmm, see you in the afternoon and Merry Christmas, Yan Su said softly as she fiddled with the apple in her hands. Liuxi, youre going to the set to film the project tomorrow, arent you?


    Yeah, Im leaving tomorrow afternoon. Mo Liuxi was annoyed when he was reminded of it, but it wasnt bad for the two of them to be apart for the time being.


    After were done today I need to talk to you, Yan Su said seriously.

 Chapter 1132. She Was Pregnant, Pregnant With Mo Liuxis Child

    Chapter 1132. She Was Pregnant, Pregnant With Mo Liuxi''s Child


    He had never seen her this serious before and his heart dropped. Is it something important?


    Yan Su looked at the crowd around them. Yeah, its quite important. Ill tell you soon.


    She was worried that he wouldnt be able to concentrate tonight if she told him now. She had to verify something herself too.


    Mo Liuxi watched as she left. He was annoyed and he felt uneasy. Was she going to break up with him? He thought about what had happened between them and how she threw up again when he touched her the morning before. They didnt even contact each other on Christmas Eve; they were barely a couple. It was usible that she wanted a breakup.


    He had never thought about breaking up before. When they got together, he had thought they were going to stay together forever.


    If they broke up


    Mo Liuxi couldnt stand the hurt he was feeling in his chest.


    When Yan Su returned to her apartment, the pregnancy test kit she ordered from the online pharmacy had arrived. It was in the parcel box of her building. When she opened her letterbox, there was a letter addressed to her as well.


    She went upstairs and went into the bathroom; her mind went nk when the two red lines appeared on the stick. She nkly stared at it for a while before retrieving another one. She tested herself 3 times and they were all positive.


    She was pregnant; pregnant with Mo Liuxis child.


    Why was it negative before?


    If herpany found out that she was pregnant, they would be outraged. They were nning for her to go on tour next year; it would be a huge blow to her career for sure.


    If she aborted the child


    She had never thought about abortion before, it was too cruel and too harsh on her body.


    She didnt know what Mo Liuxi would make of the situation. He was going to be a dad even before he graduated. His kid would be in school by the time he finished his own education.


    It was a hrious thought. He wasnt even old enough to marry anyone yet. Yan Su grimaced at that thought. Many youngsters had children without officiating their marriage, but they usually ended up on separate paths.


    Yan Su thought about things for a long time and didnt even realize when she walked out to her living room. She only came to her senses when Jiaojiao called her toe downstairs for a Christmas event at the shopping mall.


    When she changed into her shoes, she saw the letter that was addressed to her. When she opened it, two photographs dropped from the envelope.


    In the photo, Mo Liuxi had his eyes closed and An Ning wasying in his arms. Both of them were not dressed and the two photos were taken from different angles. Yan Su squatted down and inspected the photo for a long time, she couldnt spot any signs of Photoshop.


    So, Mo Liuxi had slept with An Ning long ago?


    He was lying to her when he told her that he wasnt interested in An Ning at all? Yan Sus head throbbed and she wanted to vomit looking at the photo.


    She searched An Lans contact number from the inte and called her. Miss An, can I please have your sisters contact number?


    An Lan was shocked and asked nervously, Miss Yan, is An Ning causing you trouble again?

 Chapter 1133. You Better Stay Out of My Way From Now On

    Chapter 1133. You Better Stay Out of My Way From Now On


    I just have some questions for her, Yan Su said.


    An Lan felt uneasy but she gave her An Nings number anyway. She said, Miss Yan, feel free to let me know if An Ning is causing you any trouble.


    Ok. Yan Su didnt think that it was appropriate for her to say anything now since she hadnt rified anything. Word could even spread to Luosang if she said anything careless.


    Yan Su was calling An Ning as she went downstairs, when the line connected. She immediately asked, Did you send the photos?


    Senior Yan? An Ning could recognize her voice and startedughing peculiarly. So, youve received it? Its a Christmas gift from me and thanks for calling. I would have gone to look for you in school tomorrow anyway.


    Yan Su frowned. I dont understand why there is anyone as disgusting as you in this world.


    How am I disgusting? I didnt Photoshop the picture, An Ning said. Mo Liuxi slept with me once, then he dumped me and got together with you. He has humiliated me; does he think Im so easy to bully? Im telling you, I wont let you two have a good time while I suffer alone!


    Why are you so full of vengeance and lies? I cant take your words seriously, even if Mo Liuxi didnt treat you right, you shouldnt be messing with me. If youre going to send me these sort of things in the future, Im going to post them online. Dont think about entering the entertainment industry again. Youll be famous for your nudes before youre famous for your talents. No decent man would want you either. If you have any bit of shame left in you, you should know where to stop. Dont ruin yourself at such a young age. Its not easy for your parents to raise you, so dont embarrass your family. Yan Su scolded her angrily.


    An Ning was stunned. She said through gritted teeth, Dont you dare. Mo Liuxi is in the photo too


    Hes a director. He can afford to change girlfriends as and when he likes. Ive recorded what you said as well. I will y it to him and you better stay out of my way from now on. Yan Su hung up after that. She thought that her recent luck was rotten; all her foes were crazier than the other.


    Jiaojiao waited for fifteen minutes before Yan Su got in the car. Su, didnt I tell you


    Jiaojiao, I know Imte, dont nag at me anymore. Im feeling crappy. Yan Su put on her sunsses and cap. She didnt want her to see the uneasiness in her eyes.


    Oh Jiaojiao was silent after that.


    Yan Su closed her eyes. She was recalling all the moments she spent with Mo Liuxi. She couldnt believe that he was that kind of man. Did she have a problem judging other peoples character? She was wrong about Shi Xiang until Luosang reminded her.


    She wouldnt be surprised if she was wrong about a man again. She buried her face in her knees in despair as she was pregnant now. She would ask himter that night; she had to give him a chance to exin himself.


    At 6:00 p.m., Yan Su walked into the television station and started changing and putting on makeup. Mo Liuxi walked in halfway; he was wearing a ck leather jacket and ripped jeans. He had styled his hair and he looked charming and cool.


    When he entered the dressing room, everyone paused to stare at him.

 Chapter 1134. Yan Su Looked Like She Choked Up

    Chapter 1134. Yan Su Looked Like She Choked Up


    He ignored them and sat down beside Yan Su. Im here to run through the program forter.


    Yan Su stared at him nkly.


    He was a good-looking boy, he wasnt a bad guy at all. She couldnt believe he was a bad person. She would never forget all that he had done for her, his bossiness, his gentleness, the bravery when he stepped up for her; it was so real to her.


    That photo, could it be a misunderstanding? Perhaps he was drunk. Maybe An Ning drugged him or something.


    Her heart ached when she thought about the possibility of him sleeping with An Ning.


    Mo Liuxi cleared his throat when he saw that she was in a daze before continuing, Ive already spoken to the director. He said that you will be holding my hand when youre singing these two lines. Well be looking into each others eyes when we reach the chorus.


    Yan Su looked down at where he was pointing at and nodded. Ok.


    There were other people in the dressing room, so they had to keep the conversation strictly professional.


    It was already 7:30 p.m. when Yan Su was done with her makeup. She took the opportunity to use the bathroom and when she came out, Mo Liuxi was standing outside.


    Many people were passing by in the corridor and there were many celebrities around them. No one seemed to be paying attention to them.


    Mo Liuxi looked down at her perplexed. Yan Su, its Christmas tonight


    Yeah. Yan Su looked up and she was a little disappointed when his hands were empty. She only received an apple form him that day.


    Although she didnt care for gifts, she was still a girl after all and she had her fantasies. It was their first Christmas together as well.


    Lets go back togetherter. Mo Liuxi was disappointed as well. It didnt seem like she had gotten him a present.


    Ill be der. The station wants me to draw the prizes for the telephone-event at 11:00 P.M., Yan Su whispered. You head back first and Ille look for youter.


    Give me the keys to your apartment. Mo Liuxi reached out his hands.


    Yan Su was stunned but she handed the keys over. Later remember to return them to me.


    I wont steal them. Mo Liuxi frowned and took the keys.


    At 8.20 p.m., the two of them got on stage and Yan Su sang while Mo Liuxi jazz danced. He had put hard work into this; every move was clean and sexy. As he was dancing around Yan Su, she would tense up every time he drew closer. The crowd was going wild over the performance.


    After three minutes, the audience was still craving more. Yan Su got off the stage and Jiaojiao said, Su, howe you werent performing well tonight? Every time Mr. Mo got closer to you, you wouldg behind the beat. Was he too handsome? Causing too much of a distraction?


    Yan Su felt awkward. She looked over at Mo Liuxi and he was grinning before he left with Director Li.


    When she ended the showter that night, she found out that she had be the number one hot search along with Mo Liuxi. The trending topic was, Yan Su nervous and the audience picked up the parts where she was off tune.


    User A: Mo Liuxi is so handsome that even Yan Su who dated Shi Xiang went off tune.


    User B: Yan Su wasnt singing properly at all tonight. She was captivated by Mo Liuxi.


    User C: When Mo Liuxi revealed his abs, Yan Su looked like she choked up and I had no idea what she was singing.

 Chapter 1135. Liuxi, Why Did You Lie to Me?

    Chapter 1135. Liuxi, Why Did You Lie to Me?


    Yan Su switched off her phone. She couldnt bear to read further and she felt terrible.


    Was she that obvious? She thought she did an all right job.


    At the same time, Mo Liuxi was hiding his Christmas gift in her apartment.


    He had ordered the present before the Shi Xiang incident. He knew that Beyonc was her favorite American singer and he asked a friend to record a short clip of Beyonc as a gift for Yan Su.


    After he hid it, he went to the bathroom and washed his hands. Hearing his phone ring, he quickly went to the living room to pick it up. On his way out, he tripped over the dustbin and the contents spilled all over the floor. It was a bunch of empty boxes and pregnancy kits.


    He bent down and picked one up. There were two red lines on it and he had never seen a test kit before. He checked the results against the instructions on the box and he realized that the kits were reflecting positive results.


    Why did Yan Su have positive kits in her bathroom?


    She never had friends over, so who would test themselves at her apartment? These must be hers.


    Mo Liuxi copsed on the floor; he was in a trance. He never really slept with Yan Su, so they couldnt have a child. She was carrying someone elses child.


    He thought that Luosang said that she was still a virgin. Even if she lied, she didnte across as a frisky woman.


    How could she be pregnant? No wonder she looked so ill and was always puking. She was vomiting because she was pregnant. Who was the father? Shi Xiang? When did this happen? Before they started dating? Or after?


    Mo Liuxis mind was a mess. He didnt want to think badly of Yan Su but how could she be pregnant?


    He didnt mind if she wasnt a virgin but why did things have to turn out like this? He bent the pregnancy kit into two. He had never felt so broken.


    What was she going to say to him that night? Was she really looking for a breakup, now that she was pregnant? He would never ept someone elses child.


    At 11:40 p.m., someone knocked on the door. Mo Liuxi dragged his weary body to the door and Yan Su was standing there. They looked at each other and they both had troubling thoughts on their minds.


    Why did you take so long toe to the door? Yan Su stuttered.


    Mo Liuxi looked up at her. After the incident that happened a couple days ago, she had said that she felt as if she was being treated like an object. He had to control himself this time. He didnt want to taint their rtionship with hatred and ugliness. He didnt say anything and Yan Su felt a wave of uneasiness.


    She changed into her slippers and walked into the apartment.


    The apartment was the same as she had left it. There werent any surprises in store for her this Christmas. She clutched the ne in her pocket. It was a present she had picked out for him a few days ago.


    There was still so much to rify first.


    She inhaled sharply and said, Liuxi, let me ask you something. Did you sleep with An Ning?


    Mo Liuxis pupils constricted. He never wanted Yan Su to find out about this. He was worried that she would mistake him as an insincere person, but he didnt expect her to find out on her own. An Ning told you?


    She sent over nude pictures of you two. Yan Su ced the photos on the table. I asked you about An Ning before. When she came over to take care of you when you fell ill, you said you were groggy and she followed you in. You told me nothing was going on between the two of you. Liuxi, why did you lie to me?

 Chapter 1136. Please Leave

    Chapter 1136. Please Leave


    Her words ignited the pain and anger that Mo Liuxi had been trying to restrain. Why did he lie to her? Did she think he wanted to lie to her?


    If he could do it all over again, he never would have drunk so much alcohol that night. He wouldnt have let that happen.


    He could exin. After all, he wasnt sure if it was An Ning. He found a pregnancy test kit in the bathroom just now and heard her tone of voice. It sounded as if she had never cheated on him at all.


    She was pregnant with another mans child. What gave her the right to use him like that?


    With that thought, he burst outughing. That happened before we got together, he said, I am with you whole-heartedly, at least. Im clean when Im with you. What about you?


    His stony tone turned Yan Sus heart cold. He was lying, yet he sounded so confident and convincing. I I am, really, not much better than you. I had an ex-boyfriend, but at least, I didnt do anything with him. I asked you about your rtionship with An Ning. You lied to me. Youre a liar. Thats why Im so unhappy. No wonder she hates me so much now. If If Id known about this, I never would havee between you and her.


    You didnt do anything with him? Mo Liuxi stared at her pretty, clean face. He suddenly felt as if he didnt know that girl anymore, Yan Su, youre such a liar.


    She even had a baby, yet she still pretended to be so innocent.


    Mo Liuxi wouldnt care how many ex-boyfriends she had, as long as she loved him with a true heart. What he did care about was that she wasnt being totally honest with him. She was lying.


    Yan Sus eyes widened with surprise as she looked at his beautiful, thin lips. She didnt understand how those awful, hurtful wordse out of that mouth, which was once full of sweet and loving words.


    Liuxi, is that what you think of me? You promised not to talk about what happened between Shi Xiang and me that night. You dont really believe me, do you?


    Youre right. I dont believe you at all, Mo Liuxi sneered. He felt as if he had a thousand bleeding wounds in his heart. It was the first time he got hurt so deeply. You were with him a long time ago. Having sex is like having lunch for you guys.


    Shut up.


    His words pierced Yan Sus heart like a poisonous thorn. She liked him so much before, but now she was full of wrath.


    Earlier, on her way back from the hospital, she was nning on telling him about what happened that night. She was pregnant with his child. Maybe they would be parents.


    But at that moment, she felt she didnt need to tell him the truth.


    She and he were ugly in each others eyes now. Even if they stayed together for the child, they wouldnt be happy.


    Mo Liuxi, please leave. Theres nothing left for us to say to each other, Yan Su bit her lower lip really hard so that she wouldnt cry.


    Is that what you were going to say to me tonight? Are you here to break up with me? Mo Liuxi twitched his lips in a scornful smile, said, Alright, lets break up. Were not right for each other.


    Liking each other and having good feelings toward each other were two important things that two people needed to be together. With those two things, he wouldnt care if the girl was ugly,zy, not smart, or short-tempered.


    If a rtionship was only about lies and betrayals, people would get hurt over and over again even if they managed to stay together.


    If she was being honest with him tonight, told him how she got pregnant and agreed to get an abortion, he might still forgive her. But she didnt do that. What she did and said made Mo Liuxi so disappointed.


    He was in love with the wrong person.

 Chapter 1137. Stranger

    Chapter 1137. Stranger


    Were not reallypatible I guess


    Yan Su felt distraught and heartbroken after hearing him say that.


    She remembered how he talked about howpatible they were not too long ago. He was a director and she was a singer. Now he was telling her they werentpatible after all.


    Perhaps they really werentpatible. They would only be able to tell after giving it a shot.


    She didnt expect them to break up this way, leaving such a terrible impression on each other.


    Maybe he even regretted dating her in the first ce.


    Alright, lets break up, Yan Su said softly after a long while. Her words were heavy.


    Mo Liuxi widened his eyes and turned to look at her again.


    Even breathing hurt at that moment.


    After a while, he bit his lip and smirked to himself ironically. He wanted her to chicken out and regret her decision. He wanted her to think about her actions.


    He expected too much from her, too many fantasies. She must be dying to break up with him.


    Alright, please return my house keys, he said coldly through gritted teeth.


    Yan Sus face grew pale. Did he remember when he first handed her the keys to his apartment?


    She lowered her head, retrieved the keys from her bag and removed the key from her keychain. She hesitated when she saw the ring on her finger, but then she slipped it off and handed it back to him before he could ask her for it.


    Mo Liuxis expression was grim when he saw the ring in her palm.


    Except for the keys, I wont ask for what Ive already given away. Im not a petty man, he took the keys and brushed the ring aside. it fell to the ground and rolled on the floor before disappearing under the couch.


    Yan Su froze on the spot.


    She didnt expect that ring to end up this way, the ring he had once put on her finger so meticulously.


    Yan Su, you take care of yourself, Mo Liuxis head throbbed when he said that while changing into his shoes. then he turned on his heel and walked out of the apartment briskly.


    The house was now silent as Yan Su burst into tears. Tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrobly.


    She touched her belly, at a loss of what to do.


    She wanted to tell him about her pregnancy so badly, but what about An Ning? He med her for everything. She didnt know who he was anymore. And she now knew he only thought of her as a casual, loose woman.


    She couldnt imagine what it would be like if they forced themselves to stay in this rtionship.


    Outside her apartment, Mo Liuxi slumped against the wall as tears flooded his eyes as well.


    As a child, he never cried when he fell or hurt himself. Now he was cryingover her.


    He gave his all to this rtionshipand what did he get in return? Heartache!


    Did he fall in love with the wrong person? Did he even know who she was?


    Yan Su, Yan Su.


    It was a name he never wanted to hear again.


    Christmas. He would hate this festival for the rest of his life.


    After a sleepless night, Yan Su got up and started getting ready for school. She was terrified she would bump into Mo Liuxi at the door. She was afraid to see his warm and tender gaze change to something much colder and harsher.


    She waited until she heard his footsteps disappear outside before leaving the house.


    When she went out, she bumped into Mo Liuxi, who turned back to look at her.


    Their meetup made her flustered, but her heart calmed when he pretended that he didnt see her. He walked by her nonchntly.


    They were strangers now.

 Chapter 1138. Xu Luosang, How Could You Stain My Perfectly Handsome Face with Something so Filthy

    Chapter 1138. Xu Luosang, How Could You Stain My Perfectly Handsome Face with Something so Filthy


    They barely talked to each other before.


    Even though they were never really close, they wouldnt have acted as if they hated each other.


    The most awkward thing for lovers was that once they broke up, they could never be friends again, the way they used to be.


    That was why Yan Su didnt dare start a rtionship with her friends little brother at first. Thankfully, Luosang didnt know about that yet.


    On her way to school, Yan Su called Jiaojiao, Did thepany get me an apartment yet? I want to move out in a couple of days.


    Didnt you say you wouldnt be moving until after you got together with Mr. Mo? Jiaojiao was surprised.


    We broke up, said Yan Su in a low voice, Itll be awkward seeing him again.


    Jiaojiao was stunned. A short whileter she murmured, Why did you suddenly break up? Did he already forget what happenedst time?


    Were not suitable for each other, said Yan Su frustratedly, Were young. Its normal for a young couple like us to break up. Please dont talk to him about this. Weve made up our minds. We made this decision together.


    Alright, said Jiaojiao regrettably, You can move tomorrow. Pack up your things today. Ill send people to help you tomorrow.


    After talking to Jiaojiao, Yan Su called Luosang, Im moving tomorrow. You still have things in your room. Come get them when you have time.


    Why are you suddenly moving? Luosang was having breakfast. Last time, I heard you say that the apartment yourpany got you is a little far from school, she said, surprised. Why dont you wait until the end of this semester? Its more convenient for you to get to school. And anyway, its almost winter vacation.


    Em Ive already seen the new ce. I like the dcor better, so I want to move as soon as I can, Yan Su forced a smile and added, Besides, I have a lot of events to attend at the end of the year. I dont think Ill have much time for school.


    Thats true. Do you have a lot of luggage? Should I ask Liuxi to help you moveNo need. My assistant will send me help, Yan Su hurriedly interrupted her and said, Dont bother Liuxi. I think hes studying for exams.


    Luosang dropped the phone, then said to Nian Junting, who was clumsily changing his sons diaper, Go to my apartment and bring my things here this afternoon. I think I left some books there, and some clothes.


    Why do you still want those crappy clothes? Nian Junting suffered a cold re from Luosang before he could even finish.


    What do you mean crappy clothes? Didnt you say I looked good in them? Were you lying?


    Im d you finally found out, Nian Junting looked at her proudly. Luosang was speechless.


    At that moment, Little Appel peed on Nian Juntings shirt. He immediately shouted, You little b*stard! You cant just pee on anything you want!


    Hearing his yelling, Little Apple twitched his little lips and burst out crying. Luosangs heart ached when she heard her son wailing. She angrily picked up the dirty diaper and flung it at Nian Junting, Dont you yell at my son.


    The diaper smacked against Nian Juntings cheek. His perfect face contorted with anger. Xu Luosang, how could you stain my husbands beautiful face with something so filthy? Thats outrageous!


    I did stain your face, so what? Luosang raised her head and said, Im telling you, dont you bully my son! Hes a part of my heart!


    Nian Junting furrowed his brow and said, Didnt you say yesterday that I was part of your heart? How many parts does your heart have? Oh, I get it; hes a polyp on your heart, the unnecessary part.


    A polyp needed to be removed, because it was unwanted.

 Chapter 1139. The Landlord Is Sitting Right in front of You

    Chapter 1139. The Landlord Is Sitting Right in front of You


    Luosang,


    Polyp your head.


    How could he talk that way about his own son?


    The baby was only two days old, but Nian Junting had already had several jealous outbursts.


    Youre wrong. Youre the polyp, Luosang said unceremoniously.


    Good for you, Xu Luosang, Nian Junting said angrily as he finished changing the babys diaper and plopped the infant in his crib. Then he stomped angrily into the bathroom and changed into his pants.


    When he was out of the room, he ignored everyone.


    Luosang decided to let out a loud yelp. He sprinted to her side and asked anxiously, Whats wrong, the wound hurting again?


    Yeah, Luosang nodded her head sulkily, Help me lie down in bed, sitting up hurts so much.


    Nian Junting carefullyid her down t on the bed.


    Luosang took this opportunity to grab his wrist, Remember to go to the apartment and get some stuff for me; Yan Su is returning the keys to the ce soon.


    Thats no big deal, thendlord is sitting right in front of you, Nian Junting said casually.


    Luosang was stunned, You are thendlord?


    Nian Junting gave her a side nce, You girls arent very observant. Didnt you notice anything strange when you went to pay the electricity and water bills? Youre my wife. How could I let you rent your own ce? I bought the apartment the moment you guys moved in.


    Why didnt you tell me? Luosang asked.


    Nian Junting exined after seeing her puzzled expression, You didnt even let me pay your rent, forget about buying a ce for you. I decided that the best way to go about it was to find an apartment for you guys and to secretly buy the house.


    Junting, youre the best! Luosang grabbed him and nted a kiss on his hands, Youve done so much for me. Why didnt you tell me about this after we got married? Yan Su has been paying you rent, hasnt she?


    I forgot about itter on, Nian Junting sighed, I have so many houses. Why would I remember this tiny one thats smaller than the bathroom of my own house? As for Yan Su, of course, Id still be charging her rent. Shes not my girlfriend. Id never let any woman other than my wife, my mother or Nian Xi live in my house free. Its a matter of principle.


    And he would never have an extramarital affair, either.


    Anyway, how many properties do you have? Luosang asked suddenly with narrowed eyes, How many private assets did you hide from me?


    Nian Junting froze, Oh no! I just let the cat out of the bag, he thought to himself.


    Luosang grumbled, I know you have a lot of properties. Ill give you a day to think about all of your estates. I want to register them.


    Nian Junting was full of regret: He should have been more careful about what he said. Forget ithis money was meant for his wife anyway.


    Mo Liuxi went straight to the performing arts faculty after school looking for An Ning.


    He found out she wasnt there.


    An Ning? She asked for a leave of absence yesterday. She said she was going to Hengdian to film a show, her professor said. Im not sure about the project, I think it is just a small role. Shell be there over New Years. I think shesing back next semester.


    Oh really? Mo Liuxiughed coldly to himself. What a coincidence.


    It sounded as if she was feeling guilty about something and decided to escape for a while.


    She didnt heed his warningst time; he wasnt about to let her off the hook so easily now.


    He fished out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, Help me check if theres a Ximei student in Hengdian named An Ning whos filming a project there. Let me know which project it is, Ill make sure shes removed from it. Also, find ways to get her expelled from school. Ill make sure she never works in this industry in her entire life.

 Chapter 1140. The Big Mouthed Nian Junting Was Right

    Chapter 1140. The Big Mouthed Nian Junting Was Right


    At noon, his man called and told him, An Ning isnt in Hengdian. She doesnt have any work there either. I checked her flight information. She flew to Singapore. Mo Liuxiughed when he heard that, She found an excuse to leave her sses and travel. Great. Since she doesnt want to go to school, Ill make sure she can never return to Ximei for the rest of her life.


    Later that afternoon, he returned to his apartment, packed his bag and left for the film crew. His days with them were busy. Sometimes he needed to work until three or four oclock in the morning. Only on New Years Day, today, did he take a break and drive to Tianhu Vi.


    Mo Jin and Xu Zhengxuan had arrived before him. It was Little Appels first New Years Day, so a lot of people from the Nian Family and the Murong Family hade to celebrate together. The house was noisy and warm.


    Wow, my son. Howe youve lost so much weight? How many days have you been wearing those clothes? Whens thest time you shaved? Mo Jin was startled when she saw the dispirited expression on Mo Liuxis face. After all, he had always been very well-groomed in the past.


    I was busy working with the film crew and had no time to put myself together, Mo Liuxi walked in the living room, sat down and looked at his phone.


    Mo Jin frowned, then turned and said to Luosang, He used to work on film crews for a couple of months in a row, but he never looked like this. I guess what Junting said is true. Hes probably had a failed rtionship. I cant believe he actually fell in love. I guess she dumped him and he took it hard.


    Luosang was a little stunned as well. Was the big-mouthed Nian Junting right? Perhaps he didnt like foreign girls. I wonder, who is this girl hes so crazy about? Never mind. Mom, dont ask him about it. Its normal to have your heart broken when youre young and in love!Everybody goes through it when theyre his age, Mo Jin sighed, Getting hurt is how you finally grow up on your way to a sessful rtionship. Luosang nodded in agreement.


    Nian Junting looked at Mo Liuxi and raised his eyebrows. Five minutester, he handed his son to Murong Cheng, then walked to Mo Liuxi and said, You got An Ning expelled from school for improper behavior. Everybody knows. No other school will ever take her in. Thats a bit cruel. Shes only neen, after all.


    Mo Liuxi raised his head, nced at Nian Junting and said ndly, What did her sister say to you?


    An Ning cried to her sister and said you slept with her and then hooked up with Yan Su, said Nian Junting with a weird look on his face. He was astonished when he heard about that from An Lan. Mo Liuxi had fallen in love with his sisters best friend. And Yan Su wasnt so picky. Mo Liuxi was so hard to get along with. What did she see in him? Lu Kangs heart would break in a thousand pieces if he ever found out about that.


    Bitch, Mo Liuxi said meanly. Nian Junting sighed. He probably hated An Nings guts; hed never say something like that to a girl. What on earths going on? I also heard that you told your friends in the entertainment circle to never work with An Ning and that whoever did would be your enemy.


    Yeah, Mo Liuxi nodded and said, She wants to be an actress, doesnt she? She wants to be a star. Thats why she got into the acting department. I got her kicked out of school and ruined her chance of entering the business. She wont even get her diploma.


    This kid is a little like me, Nian Junting thought. He did the same thing to Ye Chuen. But at least Ye Chuen was able to finish her studies in college. What on earth did she do to you? Did she rape you or disgust you?


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say.


    He was, indeed, disgusted though.

 Chapter 1141. She Moved Out?

    Chapter 1141. She Moved Out?


    Not only that, Mo Liuxi said with disgust, Shes got an evil heart and mind. You should tell An Lan to educate her baby sister. If she cant handle her, she should be admitted to a mental institution; shes psychotic. A total nut job. Dont let her out and harm others. If I dont teach her a lesson today, someone else will kill her in the future. Im doing her a favor, her family should thank me.


    Nian Juntings mouth twitched,


    Thank youWhy would her family thank you? They were so worried they were going around trying to pull strings to get things sorted out. No university was willing to ept a morally corrupt student. They had no choice when An Lan approached Nian Junting for help.


    If youre my real brother-inw, youll drop the subject right now, Mo Liuxi looked at him threateningly, If you dont, Ill make a big scene between you and my sister and my parents.


    Nian Junting chuckled coldly, Are you threatening me? Stop acting like a fool!


    Im a fool?! Mo Liuxi rebutted.


    Nian Juntings breathing quickened. After all, this wasnt his sister they were arguing about; he couldnt beat him up!


    Dont worry, Im not a lunatic. Im not doing this for no reason, and Im not gonna drive her up the wall. I already gave her a warning but she keeps crossing the line. She lost her principles at a young age, Mo Liuxi was silent for a while, As for me and Yan Su, its over. You dont have to tell my sister about it. I dont want her to feel stuck in the middle.


    Alright, Nian Junting nodded in agreement. He was about to leave the room when he saw how dejected Mo Liuxi looked. He patted him reassuringly on the shoulder and said, Its okay. Its just a rtionship. You win some, you lose some. Its rare to seed on your first try. Someone better wille along, youll see. Now that Yan Sus moved out, you wont have to worry about bumping into each other anymore. Things will slowly fade away


    Mo Liuxi turned abruptly, She moved out?


    Yeah. You didnt know? Nian Junting raised his brows, Two days ago.


    Mo Liuxis temples throbbed visibly.


    She wanted to make a clean break.


    Has she decided to be with the childs father? He wondered if she would abort the child. If she gave birth and got together with another man, hed never ever forgive her.


    You should go. I need some time alone, he said softly. He didnt want anyone to see him on the verge of being driven to insanity by his jealousy.


    Nian Junting sighed.


    Young people today were so fragile. They couldnt deal with heartache, romantic setbacks or anything!


    At Hengxing Music Holdings.


    Xiang Wan heard what Yan Su had said and nearly toppled the bowl of fruit in front of her. What did you say? Youre pregnant?


    Yeah, Yan Su nodded her head; she didnt dare look into the eyes of disappointment in front of her.


    Shi Xiangs? Xiang Wan asked.


    No, Yan Su bit her lip, Its mine alone.


    The fathers not nning to take any responsibility? Xiang Wan nodded her head, Get an abortion, Ill make the arrangements for you.


    Sister Xiang, Im already in my second month. I just need another ten months, Yan Su said sheepishly.


    Yan Su, are you crazy? Xiang Wan mmed her fist on the table, Youre so young and pretty and you have a bright future ahead of you. Even if you have the kid and raise it on your own, what will others think of you as a single mother? Have you thought about the consequences?

 Chapter 1142. She Wont have Another Boyfriend

    Chapter 1142. She Won''t have Another Boyfriend


    Yan Su, you can keep it secret now, but you cant keep it secret forever. The press is too intrusive, Xiang Wan said earnestly. If you have a child on your own before youve graduated from college, people will talk. They might see you as a slut.


    But, Im a singer, not an actress, Yan Su gathered the courage and said, Watching TV and listening to songs are different. All I need to do is to focus on my music. People can say whatever they want about me, but as long as my music is good, theyll still listen to it. I know I can make this work.


    You are too naive, Xiang Wan said frustratedly, To be honest, I dont think you know what youre doing. Why are you having the child on your own? Where is the father? You think youre giving it a life? Youre wrong. When the child is old enough to learn that it doesnt have a father, that it was born out of wedlockdo you think itll be happy? And do you want to get married? Will the man you love ept the fact that youve already had a baby? Wont he mind? Well, he might be okay with it, but what about his family? Will they ept you?


    Yan Su, on hearing those words turned pale. Tremblingly, she said, I dont n to get married. I might never get married. Thats why I want this baby. No, I cant give my baby a father. But, it was destiny that brought the baby to me. My friend just had a baby. Hes so little and so adorable. I cant kill my baby. I cant.


    She had given up on love. Her first rtionship turned out to be a nightmare, and her second one ended really badly, too.


    She didnt know if she was the one with the problemor if she had awful taste in men. Maybe she wasnt meant to be a good girlfriend. She wouldnt have another boyfriend, she believed.


    Seriously, it all started beautifully and sweetly but ended in such a harmful way. You say that, because youre young, Xiang Wan shook her head. Shepletely disagreed with that. Im not much older than you are, but Ive been through more than you have. When I was a student, I too felt that love could be my whole world. Well, when you graduate and take your ce in society, youll realize how silly you were to have those thoughts because of just one rtionship. When you turn 30, youll feel lonely at night. Youll want a family.


    Thats why Ive decided to have this baby, Yan Su raised her head and said, Miss. Xiang, I might be childish in your eyes. But people always make mistakes when theyre young. If this turns out to be a mistake, Ill suffer the consequences. Ive thought about it. Im two months pregnant now, and I can work until the fourth or even fifth month. Im thin, so I think it wont be so obvious. If you cant ept it, Ill have no choice but to end our contract. Im willing to pay the penalty.


    Xiao Wan knitted her brows into a deep frown and spent a long while looking at Yan Su in the eyes, then said, Thepany is going to have a concert tour for you this year. This is your best time. Your poprity will decline if you disappeared now. We dont know how many people will still be willing to buy tickets to your concerts when you came back. If you have to have this baby, I dont want your money. I want you to give me two new songs in the next two months, no matter how busy you are. Thepany will release the songs while youre having the baby. Well tell people youve gone abroad to study music. But you need toe back after youve recovered from childbirth.


    Thank you, Yan Su stood up, bowed deeply.


    Also, where do you n to have the baby? Xiang Wan asked.


    Yan Su hesitated a moment before saying, I want to go back to my parents. It would be really awkward for a pregnant woman to go abroad alone.

 Chapter 1143. Please Dont Fall in Love with Me

    Chapter 1143. Please Don''t Fall in Love with Me


    Xiang Wan was stunned, I thought you told me you ran away from home when you were a teenager. Will your parents take you back now that you pregnant? Wouldnt they force you to get an abortion?


    Yan Su bit her lips, she knew she was a stubborn child.


    She felt like a failure.


    Theyre going to find out sooner orter. If I go back in four or five months, itll be toote to have an abortion. Yan Su lowered her head, My parents always doted on me when I was a kid. My cousin told me they missed me a lot but couldnt bring themselves to reach out to me first. Ive thought this through. Im going back, and they can scold me or beat me all they want. I am going to be a devoted daughter to them. We have an old mansion in the countryside. I can deliver my baby there. With my parents at my side, I am confident I can ovee anything.


    Xiang Wan sighed, They probably want to vomit blood with a daughter like you.


    I know Ive let them down, Yan Su looked out the window, If I could start over, I would never hurt them again.


    She was a rebellious teenager, and now she was a stubborn young woman. Her decisions would break her beloved parents hearts. After venturing out in the real world, she realized it was her parents who loved her most.


    The year was ending. Final exams hade and gone.


    Mo Liuxi took Mo Jins call and took onest look at the apartment.


    He had always enjoyed a spacious environment, but now the room looked empty and forlorn.


    He never felt that way in the past, but the emptiness of the apartment was driving him insane after that woman moved away.


    She packed up and left, leaving him all alone here.


    He was packing up to spend New Years at the vi. He didnt have much with him. When he walked to the door, he saw that the door next to him was ajar. It had been shut for a long time. The lights were on as well.


    His heart skipped a beat.he heard footsteps approaching.


    He averted his eyes quickly and pressed the elevator button. A familiar voice called out to him, Youve decided to spend New Years at home? He was stunned as he turned around and saw Nian Junting walking out with a thick stack of books.


    He frowned instinctively.


    Disappointed to see me? Nian Junting raised his brows.


    Mo Liuxi said coldly, If I was d to see you, I might be in love with you.


    Nian Junting suddenly found his handsome face nauseating, You have to steady your heart. Please dont fall in love with me; theres a long line ahead of you.


    Mo Liuxi,


    When the elevator door opened, he stepped inside.


    Nian Junting followed behind. He was holding a book with one hand and kept the keys in his pocket with the other.


    Mo Liuxi pursed his lips, This house


    It belongs to me, Nian Junting exined, I bought it for your sister.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. Luosang never mentioned that before. He thought that Nian Junting treated her really well then, Are you nning to rent it out?


    Not anymore, Nian Junting shook his head, I dont need the money. Anyway, I have many memories here with Luosang. Im keeping it as a keepsake.


    Mo Liuxi was in a daze.


    You have plenty of memories here too, dont you? Nian Junting smirked, You used the guest bedroom while I used the master bedroom. Your room might be a little smaller.


    Mo Liuxi,


    Why are you staring at me? Nian Junting looked at him and continued, Dont tell me youve never slept in her bed before. I wont believe you. Were all guys here. We know each other well.

 Chapter 1144. Mo Liuxi Attacked Her Right In Front of Her Parents

    Chapter 1144. Mo Liuxi Attacked Her Right In Front of Her Parents


    Stop talking, snapped Mo Liuxi frostily.


    Nian Junting stared at him a few seconds before saying, Youre right though. Those are all unbearable memories now.


    Can you please stop talking? Mo Liuxiined, Youre making me feel worse. Are you enjoying this?


    Yeah, Nian Junting nodded. He loved seeing that cocky young dude suffer. Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say.


    They walked out of the building together and saw An Ning standing outside with a middle-aged couple. Seeing the two of them, the middle-aged man swiftly stepped up and said, Mr. Nian, good to see you. I am An Lans father. Is this your brother-inw? Mo Liuxi nced at An Ning. He hadnt seen her in a while. His eyes glowed icily but he didnt say one word, restraining his anger.


    Mr. and Mrs. An, what are you doing here? Nian Junting had known An Lan for many years and had met her parents before. He feigned ignorance about why they were here.


    Junting, I know this is hard. We have no choice but toe here to find your brother-inw, Mr. An handed Mo Liuxi a cigarette and said, Young man, lets talk. My daughter is young. Shes naive. We spoiled her. I apologize for what she has done. She did what she did because she really likes you. I assure you that she wont bother you again. Can you please give her another chance? Shes so young. If she cant finish university, her life will be ruined.


    Please, Mrs. An also begged Mo Liuxi, You see, An Lan, our other daughter, worked on your fathers case. Were all friends, actually.


    Mo Liuxi remained silent but stared at An Ning, who was hiding behind her parents. He twitched his thin lips in a cold smile, then pointed at her and said, You,e here. An Lan didnt budge. She shook her head and cried, Liuxi, you took my virginity but refused to take responsibility. Thats the only reason I did what I did. I couldnt help it.


    Mo Liuxi smiled unsympathetically before stepping forward to catch An Ning. Then the girl turned and ran. He picked up his bag and threw it at her. The bag, which was full of books,nded on her back and nearly knocked her to the ground.


    Her parents ran over to protect their daughter. How can you attack her right in front of us?


    Mrs. An got angry, You dont like my daughter, I get it. But you slept with her without taking any responsibility for your actions. I did a lot of hard work to raise my daughter. How can you do this to her? You slept with her, then meet another woman and got our daughter thrown out of school.


    Youre rich and powerful, so you get to call the shots, huh? Mr. Nian, you are a reasonable adult. Please, say something. The kid might not know whats right, but can you honestly stand there and let this ridiculous thing happen?


    Nian Junting rubbed the area between his eyebrows. He wasnt expecting Mo Liuxi to attack An Ning like that in front of her parents. Not even he would do such a thing.


    Mrs. An, you cant say that. Your daughter was a virgin, and so was the boy. Your daughter took the opportunity to get him into bed while he was drunk because she liked him. What was that all about? That was against his will. Legally speaking, she raped him. We can even sue her for that.


    Mrs. An was stunned. She said, How can youmake it sound so awful after you took advantage of my daughter?


    Thats the truth, Nian Junting waved his hand dismissively and said, Ive talked to An Lan. As herwyer, she agreed with me. She wanted this to end, so she didnte to me again.


    Its illegal to force someone to have sex without their consent. Your daughter took away his virginity and refused to let him go. He finally had a girlfriend, but your daughter sent her a picture of her and him on the bed, and that caused his girlfriend to break up with him. She also harassed him many times in school. By doing those two things, she broke twows.

 Chapter 1145. Mr. Nian, I thought you said that he was going to rescue her?

    Chapter 1145. Mr. Nian, I thought you said that he was going to rescue her?


    There are there are two charges? Aunty An was in disbelief.


    Nian Junting raised two fingers, Number one, rape; number two, you never sought consent from the person before taking indecent photos of him. These are all criminal charges. The whole school knows that An Ning is harassing Mo Liuxi. If you wont admit to it and want to take it to court, by all means. Even if An Lan is the one defending her, we have credible evidence. Dont ruin your daughters reputation as awyer.


    Aunty An had nothing to say in response.


    Ma, dont listen to him An Ning shook her mothers arms forcefully, Mo Liuxi, dont me everything on me. Youre being vindictive now because Yan Su two-timed you


    Shut up, Mo Liuxi wasshing out at An Ning violently.


    Uncle An was trying to block him and now Aunty An was restraining him.


    Mo Liuxi was so frustrated he kicked An Ning and she burst into tears.


    Ning! Uncle and Aunty An were horrified and stepped forward to catch their daughter.


    Mo Liuxi was faster than they were. He lunged and threw An Ning over his shoulder and ran toward the central area of the estate.


    Ma, Pa, help me! An Ning was shrieking in terror.


    Mo Liuxi, let go of her immediately! Dont make us call the police, the couple shouted at him.


    Mo Liuxi just ignored them and pushed An Ning into the pond in the middle of the estate.


    Although the water was shallow, it was freezing cold in the dead of winter. When An Ning fell into the pond, she nearly fainted from the frigid temperature.


    Uncle An was about to waddle into the water to save his daughter when Nian Junting stopped him, Uncle, youll end up in the hospital if you go into the water at this temperature.


    What should I do then? Uncle An was panicking.


    The water isnt that deep, she can climb out by herself, Nian Junting said with utmost concern, Shes screaming so loudly, she can obviously tolerate the cold.


    Uncle An was stunned while Aunty An shouted angrily, Mr. Nian, stop speaking so calmly about other peoples business. She isnt your daughter, you dont care about her.


    Nian Junting nodded his head, I dont indeed.


    Aunty Ans throat hurt. Suddenly, Mo Liuxi rolled up the cuffs of his pants and stepped into the water.


    Nian Junting said, Look, even though he was venting his anger, he knows where to draw the line. Hes going down to rescue her now.


    Uncle and Aunty An heaved a sigh of relief. Just when they thought he was about to pull their daughter out, he kicked An Ning farther from the edge of the pond just as she was about to climb out.


    Mr. Nian, I thought you said he was going to rescue her? Aunty An was hopping mad.


    Nian Junting stroked his chin and said, Yeah, this guy has quite a temper. He doesnt respect me either.


    Mo Liuxi was still trying to subdue An Ning in the pond when he shouted over to Nian Junting, Brother-inw, just chill out, man. Im not gonna drown her. I know where to draw the line.


    B*stard, take your hands off her! the couple was about to rush into the pond.


    Nian Junting had a hard time holding them back, Aunty, Uncle, you cant go in there. He already said he knows where to draw the line.


    Bullsh*t, Uncle An cursed as Aunty An burst into tears, Call the police, call the police now.


    Nian Junting nodded his head, Alright, I guess all we can do now is call the police. Let them know what An Ning is exactly, lets follow the court proceedings. Shell probably have a hard time getting married once people find out about how she raped a young boy.

 Chapter 1146. Luo, I Think I Need to be Really Nice to You

    Chapter 1146. Luo, I Think I Need to be Really Nice to You


    Mr. and Mrs. An instantly hesitated.


    He was right. It would be hard for her to get married if the situation really got out of hand. More importantly, if it became big news, their daughters reputation would be ruined for good.


    Nian Juntig pointed at the water and said calmly, Look, he only dunked her head underwater a few seconds, then he pulled her out and let her breathe. Hes doing it again. Shes not going to die.


    In the water, An Ning was too weak to scream. She was cold and scared. She felt as if she was going to drown any second. She had regrets. Why did she ever start this whole thing?


    She didnt dare tell him the truth, because she worried he might beat her even harder if she did.


    The sound of Mo Liuxis bone-piercing cold voice was in her ear, like the voice of the devil. I warned youst time, but you wouldnt listen. You offended me again. You ran away after doing something bad. You shouldnt havee back. But you showed up in front of me with your parents. Why? Did you think I wouldnt do anything to you in front of them?


    He dunked her again, only this time he didnt pull her out until An Ning nearly passed out.


    He took a deep breath, then dragged her out of the water, threw her into Mr. Ans arms. Dad Dad An Ning murmured.


    Mr. An, see? I told you he knows what hes doing. Shes alive, right? said Nian Junting with a gentle voice.


    You Nian Junting Mr. An was so angry that he almost cried.


    Dont evere near me again, Mo Liuxi interrupted him coldly, Dont ever let me see this woman, or Ill put her into the water again. Also, youd better hope she didnt do anything crazy that I dont know about yet. If she did, Ill make her wish she was dead. And


    He took out two photos from his pocket, threw them at Mr. An, then continued, Your daughter took these. As a woman, shes shameless enough to show them around. If I get pissed off, I might post these photos online. I have copies. Teach your daughter how to be a good person. At least, you should let her know what the word shame means.


    Mo Liuxi finished his speech with a frosty voice, then picked up his bag and left.


    Mr. An, he is young and reckless, so I strongly urge you not to go near him again. Luckily, Im here today. Otherwise, he might have hurt you and your wife too. That would be troublesome, said Nian Junting apologetically, If you still arent willing to let this go, dont hesitate to take legal action. If you dont know how ask An Lan. After saying that, he turned and left.


    After he returned to the vi with Luosangs books, Luosang red at him. Holding her son, she said, What time is it? What took you so long? All you needed to do was get my books. Did youe homete on purpose? Is it because you dont want to take care of our son?


    Am I that kind of man? Nian Junting snorted. Then he said, I ran into your brother on my way home. I found out thatYour brothers even bolder than I am.


    What happened? Luosang was confused.


    Luo, I think I need to be really nice to you, or your brother might want to kill me, Nian Junting stroked her hair gently and said, Im stronger than he is, but Id definitely lose if he ever decided to have it out with me.


    Luosang was still confused.


    I admire him, though, Nian Junting said, then went upstairs. Luosang spent a short while trying to figure out what happened, then suddenly realized that he still hadnt helped her hold her son. He escaped again. How awful!

 Chapter 1147. Where is my Jiangjiang?

    Chapter 1147. Where is my Jiangjiang?


    Another Chinese New Year.


    On Lunar New Year Eve, Nian Junting and Luosang brought Little Apple to the Nian vi in the afternoon. They would only return to Tianhu vi at night. Mo Jin, Xu Zhengxuan and Mo Liuxi were there as well, along with Nian Qingyun and Nian Xi.


    After looking around and not finding Murong Cheng, Nian Qingyun frowned and asked, Junting, where is your mother?


    Didnt Nian Xi tell you? Ma and Uncle Jiang brought grandma and grandpa overseas to spend the New Year, Nian Junting said casually as he rocked the bass gently. He didnt catch Nian Xi shooting him looks.


    Nian Qingyun felt as if someone had just poured a bucket of cold water over his head. He turned to look at his daughter.


    Pa, look at the bright side, Nian Xi was soft-hearted andforted him right away, Theres really no hope of you getting back together with Ma.


    Nian Qingyuns expression was ghastly. As he turned and saw Xu Zhengxuan pouring water for Mo Jin in the living room, a wave of jealousy came over him. Howe they can get back together, but not me and your mother? If I didnt have a job, I could dote on your mother twenty-four hours a day too. I just dont have the option.


    Nian Junting added casually, They had a misunderstanding; they didnt cheat on each other physically or mentally. They both have each other in their hearts. If they didnt, they wouldnt have stayed single for over twenty years.


    Exactly, Nian Xi nodded her head, You and Ma were together for more than twenty years but you betrayed her. Your marriage isnt as strong as their short two or three years together. You should really move on, were all so old now. Besides, I think Ma really feels at peace now. Uncle Jiang is very good to grandma and grandpa, too.


    You should just concentrate on giving back to our country then. When you retire, you can help take care of my brothers child.


    Yeah, Ill take care of my grandson while your mother ys and has fun with that b*stard outside, Nian Qingyun was getting angry just thinking about it, And its a little brat that looks just like your brother. I can already tell he inherited all those annoying traits.


    Um Im going to get some fruit, Nian Xi slipped away quickly.


    Nian Qingyun grabbed her arm gently and said, When are you going to get married anyway? Youre going to be an old maid soon. Im telling you, even though youre rxed about it, the Feng family is extremely anxious about this marriage. Jichuan is turning thirty this year. If you dont patch things up with him by then, theyre going to make a match with someone else. Over New Years, there will be so many people introducing girls to him. If he gets married and has children, you will be watching his family blossom all alone from the police station. Thats when youll start feeling stressed; everyone will be looking at you in mockery.


    Nian Xi pictured what her father had just described. She felt as if she might actually throw up blood. Although they already broke up, she still had her pride. Instead of giving in to her father, she said stubbornly, We shouldntpare our happiness with other peoples. I cant possibly marry a random guy just because I want to get married before he does. Marriage is no small feat. Two people have to truly love each other want to spend the rest of their lives together. I dont care what other people think of me. Im rich and Im pretty. Anyone whoughs at me is probably jealous.


    Well said, Nian Junting nodded his head in agreement.


    Bullsh*t, I cant be bothered to talk to you. You can spend the rest of your life with Jiangjiang, the dog, Nian Qingyun was furious, Stubborn rocks.


    Nian Xi was reminded of her dog, Oh right, where is my Jiangjiang?


    She went around looking for him and finally found him in the backyard. When she found Jiangjiang, Xiaosi was pouncing on him and the two dogs were embroiled in an intense fight.

 Chapter 1148. Luo, Im Clean

    Chapter 1148. Luo, I''m Clean


    Nian Xis heart was broken.


    Even her Jiang-jiang had abandoned her on New Years Eve?


    Xiaosi must have forced her.


    She angrily went to Nian Junting and said, Why did you guys buy me a female dog? Did you want me to raise her to be Xiaosis wife? Did you do it on purpose?


    Sure, said Nian Juntingzily, Dogs have estrous cycles. I want her to mate with our own dog. I dont want him to be with a dog from the outside. I need to keep him in the family.


    Sneaky, Nian Xi was so unhappy.


    Dont worry. If your dog gets pregnant, my Xiaosi will be responsible for that, said Nian Junting carelessly.


    After dinner, the family sat together to watch New Years G on TV.


    Mo Jin said to Luosang while munching some pistachios, Oh, Sangsang, I wonder if your friend, Yan Su, will be on the New Years G. Shes popr this year, right?


    No. Shes abroad, shooting MV, said Luosang.


    She works really hard, Mo Jin was a little surprised.


    Didnt she just release a new song not long ago? Nian Xi asked.


    Luosang sighed, She said that she needs to prepare for the new songs thatll be released next year. Shes going abroad to study this spring.


    Impressive, Nian Xi gave a sigh as well.


    Yeah. Luosang was really jealous of Yan Su. Shes younger than I am, but shes building her career. But what am I doing? Staying at home, taking care of my son. How pathetic.


    Mo Liuxi abruptly snorted withughter, then kicked away the bin in front of him and said, Im going home to sleep.


    Its not even nine, Mo Jin hurriedly said to him, Why are you going to bed so early? Our family finally got together this year. You can wait until midnight?


    This is no fun. Its like watching the clock tick to midnight. Id rather sleep in my own bed, Mo Liuxi said, then left.


    Going abroad to study? He didnt believe that. She was, most likely, going to abroad to have a baby.


    He didnt expect Yan Su to have the baby. She was so young, after all. It seemed that she really loved the babys father though.


    He hated her so much.


    He didnt want to see her ever again.


    Its been many days, Xu Zhengxuan sighed, Hasnt he gotten over that bad rtionship yet? Ah, this kid is proud and lonely but can be as passionate as I used to be.


    No one wants to hear you talking. Dont even mention what happened back then, Mo Jin said mercilessly, If my son is as immature at 30 as you were, Ill break his legs.


    Xu Zhengxuan shut his mouth.


    Midnight. Fireworks were forbidden in the city, but still, the booms of fireworks were heard at that time.


    Nian Junting went into the bathroom, and Little Apple fell asleep. Luosangs phone buzzed a few times. She picked up the phone, saw a WeChat message from CEO Nian.


    My dear wife, I wish you and your husband a happy year. My wish is for you and your husband to love each other a little more every day. Thank you for giving Mr. Nian Little Apple. Thank you for all your hard work. I will be expecting you tonight.


    He also sent her a red envelope, containing a 1,314 yuan.


    Luosang couldnt help butugh. The bathroom door suddenly opened. Nian Junting walked out in a loose-fitting bathrobe. The belt was loose, and his chest and muscr, long legs were exposed.


    Luosang blushed and her heart raced when she saw his body.


    Luo, I cleaned myself, Nian Junting walked straight to her, curved his sexy lips in a smile, said, Have you received my message? I havent had sex in a long time. I desperately need you.


    Luosang almost burst outughing.


    Where did you get this money? You shouldnt have so much money in your WeChat ount.

 Chapter 1149. I Dont Have a Gift, But Ill Give Myself to You

    Chapter 1149. I Don''t Have a Gift, But I''ll Give Myself to You


    Nian Juntings expression froze, Luoluo, You got me so hot for you right now, why are you thinking about that?


    Shouldnt she go weak between his long and slender legs?


    Shouldnt she be seduced by his charm?


    Im just curious, I dont remember leaving you so much money, Luosang was trying to hold back her giggles as she blinked her big eyes.


    I grabbed all the red packets on WeChat, Nian Junting said grumpily with his handsome face.


    Luosang,


    She remembered how nonchnt he used to be about grabbing red packets on WeChat. He even said it made her look petty. He never participated, even when the amount in the red packet was significant.


    She didnt expect him to have to do that now.


    Luosang felt bad and said, Give me your phone.


    Luoluo, I dont have a secret bank ount. You dont have to check on me, Nian Junting said sadly.


    Give me your phone, Luosang insisted.


    Nian Junting had no choice but to hand it over; Luosang opened his WeChat and saw that he only had about a dor left.


    You gave me all the money you grabbed on WeChat? What does that leave you with? Luosang looked up at him.


    Nian Junting nced at her and said, I only need you.


    Alright, in the wee hours of New Years day, she was moved by his words.


    She gave him back his phone and sent him a red packet, 1,314 dors.


    Luoluo, youre doubling the amount, Nian Junting was stunned.


    Luosang pulled him to sit next to her, Not only am I giving you the red packet, but Im also going to reward you.


    She leaned forward and kissed his lips, Happy New Years, hubby. I dont have a gift but Im going to give myself to you.


    Nian Junting was stunned and his Adams apple moved as he felt her tongue in his mouth. He quickly undid his bathrobe with his free hand.


    Luosang pushed him onto the big, spacious bed.


    On the other side of the bed, their son was sleeping peacefully.


    His heart jumped, Luoluo, your gift is perfect, but shouldnt we go somewhere else? Im worried I might lose control


    Luosang smiled and said, Ok, but you have to carry me to the sofa.


    Nian Junting was in a hurry as he quickly leaped to his feet and scooped her into his arms. He walked to the sofa quickly.


    He immediately climbed over her; Luosangs hands were wrapped around his neck. She ran her fingers through his ck hair as she crooked her neck to kiss his eyelids, Junting, thank you for treating me so well.


    Youre my wife. Of course, I should be good to you. You are wee to say thank you as well. We can have a few more rounds tonight, Nian Junting grinned.


    Hmm, Im getting the feeling that Im pretty good to you too. Theres no need for me to say my thanks after all, Luosang was about to slip away.


    Nian Junting grabbed her tightly into an embrace, and grinned mischievously at her, Luoluo, you just said you were giving yourself to me. I ept your gift.


    He nted a firm kiss on her lips right after that.


    They hadnt made love in a long time. Nian Junting was like a wild animal let loose as he tore Luosangs pajamas off her.


    He was even stronger than before! Luosang went from the clouds back down several times.


    After a few repeated euphoric moments, the sofa fabric was soaked with her fluids.


    Look at you. You like to cry up there and down there too, Nian Junting hugged her tightly after they were done. You nearly woke our son up with your cries.

 Chapter 1150. You Are Weak

    Chapter 1150. You Are Weak


    Luosang raised her hand to scratch him.


    Its all your fault. I told you to be gentle, but you wouldnt listen


    Good girl, then you still have some energy left, Nian Junting looked at her with a knowing smile, raising his eyebrows as if he were looking at a piece of meat on the chopping board. Why did you tell me were exhausted just now? You lied to me.


    I didnt Luosang stuttered, I really am


    Liar. I think we can continue doing it, Nian Junting said, then pushed her down on the bed again.


    Atst, Luosang was exhausted for real. She had no energy left at all. She couldnt even raise her arm.


    In the morning, she didnt even have the strength to pick up her son.


    Nian Junting handed Apple to Nian Xi and said, Take care of your nephew. Your sister-inw is exhausted fromst night. Mom isnt here, and Sister Lan went home. So, youre the only one to look after the baby.


    Nian Xi was stunned at first. Then she looked at Luosangs tired face that was also wearing a happy look, which was hard to conceal. She started to feel frustrated.


    You said shes exhausted. She didnt exhaust herself from taking care of the baby, did she, said Nian Xi.


    Luosang was so embarrassed. She didnt expect Nian Junting to hand over the baby to someone else. Your brother was joking, let me do it, she said.


    No, youre too tired. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? You gasped for air this morning when you fed the baby, Nian Junting stopped her and said affectionately to her, Let her do it. Shell get married someday. She can practice with our son.


    Nian Xi said through clenched teeth, Why dont you do it? This is your son.Im tired too, said Nian Junting ndly, You dont understand it now, but you will after you get married.


    Youre weak, Nian Xi gave him two words.


    Nian Junting instantly felt humiliated. Ask your sister-inw if Im weak. Dont make stupid statements if you dont know what youre talking about. After saying that, he turned and left.


    Luosang felt like crawling into a hole and dying! On the very first day of the year, she wanted to poison her husband to keep him from talking.


    Eh Nian Xi


    Its okay, Nian Xi forced a smile that looked even worse than a crying face. Give the baby to me if youre too tired to hold him. You dont want to identally drop him, do you?


    It was all because she was single. She was so unlucky.


    She spent the whole New Year looking after her nephew. Every guest who visited the family would say to her, Nian Xi, youre a mother now!


    No, this is my brothers son, she exined.


    Oh, you really love children. You should have one of your own.


    Nian Xi didnt know how to respond to that.


    She wasnt crazy about kids. Her brother drained his wife of energy every single night and made her look after their son.


    The world looked down on single people and treated them differently.


    Finally, she went back to work on the seventh day of the New Year. Fang Qi gave her a pile of files once she walked into the police station. Her hands were trembling and the files all fell to the ground.


    What happened to your hands during the vacation? Fan Qi asked with a surprised look on his face.


    Oh, I was taking care of my nephew. I held the baby every day. My hands are sore. I cant even hold my gun now. I couldnt wait to get back to work. Im now Im here. For the first time, I feel that the precinct is a wonderful ce.


    Fang Qi patted her on the shoulder with a look of pity.


    Stop chatting. The staff meeting is about to start. The directorsing to make a speech, Fan Yi reminded them.


    Nain Xi and Fang Xi quickly headed upstairs to the conference room.


    The director gave a standard New Year speech. During the meeting, hemended a few police officers, including Feng Ji Chuan. Before New Year, he had solved a fewrge cases with Captain Luo and caught a drug dealer. Now he was being promoted to squadron leader.

 Chapter 1151. Mr Jiang, you dont recognise us?

    Chapter 1151. Mr Jiang, you don''t recognise us?


    When the meeting ended, Fan Yi remarked, Feng Jichuan is so amazing, he only got herest year but hes already promoted to a squadmander. Hes one the fastest Ive seen moving up thedder.


    Hes a capable man, Fang Qi sighed, Hes climbing up the ranks by his own merits though. I heard that when that druggie tried to escape on the boat, nobody dared to chase after him except for Feng Jichuan, he even managed to defend against three of his guys. Who else is capable of that?


    Everyone was silent then.


    Nian Xi was feeling frustrated, she had be a police officer way before Jichuan. Now that he was back, he was getting promoted way faster than her.


    Of course, there were plenty of other people who were rising up the ranks faster than her, but Feng Jichuan was different, she wanted to fight for her pride.


    Back at the office, Captain Cheng held a meeting again.


    He reviewed some of the major cases fromst year and when he ended, he called out Nian Xis name.


    Captain, Nian Xi, looked up quickly.


    Captain Cheng thew a file at her, Ill leave this case to you and Fang Qi.


    Nian Xi was stunned when Captain Cheng started turning on the projector, Deceased name is Duan Yang, he is a post-graduate doctorate student at Xia City University faculty of physics. After winter breakst year, Duan Yang disappeared and the school had thought that he had already gone home. But his family never saw him again and they reported the case to the police. Two days ago, someone discovered a corpse in the countryside. We have already identified the body as Duan Yang and the time of death is over ten days ago.


    Nian Xi frowned as the Captain smiled, Theres always a motive behind every murder, but this is quite a difficult case. I hope you will be able to work well with Fang Qi, Ill leave it up to the two of you. I have a feeling that you will have to investigate this case up until when school reopens, the suspect may be from the victims school circle.


    Thank you captain, Nian Xi was pleased, it was the first time she was formally investigating a case ever since she was transferred to the Interpol Brigade.


    After the meeting ended, Nian Xi and Fang Qi spent the afternoon discussing the case.


    The two of them went to the site where the body was discovered and met Duan Yangs parents. They also looked at the video footage of Duan Yangsst day in school.


    After thentern festival, Nian Xi and Fang Qi went to the University.


    It was the second day of school reopening and the two of them arrived at the campus at around ten oclock. They spoke to Duan Yangs mentor and went to the ssrooms to look for some ssmates that he was close to.


    At the ssroom. Nian Xi saw that therge lecture theatre waspletely filled with students. There were about three hundred students or so, it was a full house.


    She was in awe, Students nowadays are so serious, Duan Yangs ssmates are all doctorates, arent they? What are they doing in ss and not in their researchbs?


    Yeah, Fang Qi nodded his head, But did you realize, there are far more female students here.


    Nian Xi noticed it when he reminded her, they saw two female students rushing through the doors as she looked around, one of them was saying, Hurry, we cant get any seats if werete. Its rare for Professor Jiang to hold a lecture.


    Nian Xi was stunned, the ss bell rang and a long and tall figure appeared at the stairway on her right. He was wearing a simple gray coat and a ck sweater underneath. Itplimented hisplexion well, he looked clean and handsome. His hair was ck and shiny while the sunlight was streaming in from window behind him. He was as fresh as the eucalyptus tree behind him.


    Fang Qi and Nian Xi were a little stunned, the man was approaching them holding two books in his arms. He appeared deep in thought, his pupils were out of focus when Fang Qi called out to him, Mr. Jiang, dont you remember us?

 Chapter 1152. Mr. Jiang, Long Time No See

    Chapter 1152. Mr. Jiang, Long Time No See


    Jiang Yuning didnt seem to hear that but kept walking.


    Fang Qi recalled that he had always been absent-minded. No one ever knew what he was thinking. He rarely heard people talking, unless that person was Nian Xi.


    So, he hurriedly pushed Nian Xi and said to her, Call him, now.


    Nian Xi didnt expect to meet Jiang Yuning here. She was stunned. She hadplicated feelings toward him.


    He was the most simple-minded man she had ever met, and he liked her. She had even refused him once.


    He might have felt weird about that, though, so he never contacted her again after he got back from France.


    As Nian Xi stayed silent, Fang Qi walked up to Jiang Yuning and said, Mr. Jiang, Nian Xi is here.


    Hearing her name, Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then his eyes glowed brightly.


    He didnt look around immediately but quickly looked at himself.


    Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? Fang Qi was confused.


    Jiang Yuning got nervous. He breathed quickly, and his ears turned bright red. He wanted to take out his pen, but he didnt think he had enough time for that. With no other choice, he said to Fang Qi, Mister, please tell me how am I looking?


    Fang Qi felt as if was damaged on the inside. You look nice. You are very handsome. But, dont you know me? I protected you for a week in France. We lived together. Im Nian Xis colleague.


    You look familiar, Jiang Yuning nodded. He remembered Nian Xi told him to be nice to her colleagues.


    Fang Qi wanted to cry.


    Nian Xi walked in at that moment, greeted Jiang Yuning, Mr. Jiang, long time no see. Jiang Yuning held his breath. She wasnt in uniform. She was wearing street clothes, looking sexy and fresh and clean. She was as pretty as ever.


    Seeing him stare at her as he always did made Nian Xi want tough.


    What? Was your mind traveling through the universe when I was talking?


    Jiang Yuning spent a short while staring at her, then abruptly lowered his head and took out a pen and paper, wroteNot long.


    Nian Xi was confused at first, then realized he was responding to what she had said earlier. Not long? She said, Its been nearly half a year.


    I went to the police station to see you a lot. You just dont know, Jiang Yuning thought.


    As he stopped talking and writing, Nian Xi felt a little bored. So, she waved a hand and said to him, Go and teach your ss. Im going to work.


    She finished talking, then turned and walked away. But she only took one step before someone grabbed her shirt from behind.


    She turned and saw Jiang Yuning holding a corner of her shirt.


    He seemed to be a little panicked, trying to find a piece of paper to write something. Nian Xi took his pen away and said, Stop writing. Just talk to me. Didnt you hear the ss bell? So many students are waiting for you. I dont understand why are you here teaching sses while you hate talking. Do youmunicate with your students through your will power?


    Jiang Yuning pressed his lips together, then said to her with a clear and warm voice, Come to my ss.


    Why? I have no interest in physics, said Nian Xi.


    Ill teach astronomy, then.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    Could a professor teach anything he wanted?


    Im here to investigate a crime, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head disappointedly, then said, Where are you going for the investigation? Im going with you.


    What a strong-willed professor.


    Professor Jiang, this isnt appropriate. Those students are all here for you.


    I cant see them, Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, I only see you.


    Nian Xi blushed.

 Chapter 1153. Lets Keep the Volume Down, I Dont Want to Wake Her up

    Chapter 1153. Let''s Keep the Volume Down, I Don''t Want to Wake Her up


    After so long, this guy was exactly the same.


    If someone didnt know his personality, they might really think he always had ttering things to say.


    Fang Qi chuckled and smiled, Come on,e on, lets listen to Professor Jiangs lecture.


    Nian Xi frowned, I think thats appropriate.


    This is a physics ss. Were looking for Yang Wen, arent we? He might be around here, the counselor also said he even might be in this ss. We can get Professor Jiang to call out during sster, Fang Qi suggested, Hes probably in ss. Anyway, we cant ask him toe out right now.


    Nian Xi thought about it and agreed, as she turned and exined the situation to Jiang Yuning. Jiang Yuning agreed to her request immediately.


    The three of them walked into the ssroom, and all the female students in the lecture theatre were riled. Many of them rose from their seats and shouted, Professor Jiang, I like you!


    Someone followed up with, Professor Jiang, I like you too! You look so handsome today!


    Nian Xi and Fang Qi were shocked! Were all university students so brazen and outspoken nowadays?


    Jiang Yuning acted as if he hadnt heard any of them. Looking around the ss, he spotted two empty seats in the corner of thest row.


    Nian Xi saw the seats too and said to Fang Qi, Come on, lets sit in the back.


    No, you wont be able to see me clearly from so far away, Jiang Yuning shook his head immediately.


    Nian Xi was breaking out in a sweat. Why would she need to see him clearly? She had seen him plenty of times already, and she was never going to pay attention to his lecture.


    Before she could protest, Jiang Yuning already had his assistant arrange two chairs at the front of the theatre.


    His teaching assistant gestured for everyone to settle down before Jiang Yuning flipped open his book and started the ss, Last time, we talked about ten-dimensional string theory. This theory exins the restructuring conundrum that quantum physics is unable to exin


    Nian Xi was about to faint. The content of his speech was purely academic, and there wasnt a single irrelevant word. It was the most boring ss she had ever attended, and it didnt help that she didnt understand anything he was talking about.


    She turned to look at Fang Qi, who was also in a daze.


    After five minutes, Fang Qi remarked, Professor Jiang is so knowledgeable. I graduated from university and I cant understand a single thing he is talking about.


    She found his remark extremely rtable.


    After ten minutes, Nian Xi was so bored she fell asleep. She had stayed overtime at work the previous night and was exhausted; there was no way she was going to hold out until the end of the lecture.


    Jiang Yuning scribbled an equation on the board and turned to see Nian Xi sleeping with her head on the desk.


    He frowned as he dusted off his hands and walked over to her.


    Everyone thought that he was going to wake her up angrily, Fang Qi included. Before Fang Qi could shake Nian Xi awake, Jiang Yuning took off his coat and gently ced it over Nian Xis body.


    Fang Qi was stunned.


    The whole ss was shocked.


    Only Nian Xi was oblivious.


    Another female ssmate couldnt handle what she just witnessed. She rubbed her temples, Professor Jiang, I feel really sleepy, too.


    Shush, Jiang Yuning put his finger over his lips, Dont disturb her.


    The girl was devastated. They were all females and they were sleepy too. So why the different treatment?


    But she was also so excited that Professor Jiang finally talked about something other than physics.


    When he walked onto the podium again, he whispered to the ss, Lets keep the volume down, I dont want to wake her up.

 Chapter 1154. Professor Jiang Put that on You Himself

    Chapter 1154. Professor Jiang Put that on You Himself


    The students felt like crying.


    They were in a ss: So many students were in the ssroom. How quiet did he want people to be?


    The female students wanted to cry even more. Didnt people say that Professor Jiang loves science only? Who was that woman? They were all so jealous of her.


    How could the silly Professor Jiang be so warm and caring?


    The students didnt want to displease Professor Jiang, so they even breathed carefully during the rest of the ss.


    At the end of the ss, Professor Jiang said, Yang Wenzhi, please stay after ss. I need to talk to you.


    The other students turned to Yang Wenzhi with jealousy. He was the first one asked to stay after ss by Professor Jiang.


    As the ssroom suddenly became noisy, Nian Xi woke up to find that students were leaving. The ss had ended, and she hadnt even known.


    She stretched herself slightly. A grey coat slid off her shoulders.


    It looked familiar. It belonged to Jiang Yuning. She raised her head to look at him. He was still on the tform, wearing only a ck turtleneck sweater. It was the first time she saw a man look so good in a turtleneck sweater.


    How did his coat end up on her while he was teaching the ss?


    Her heart missed a beat. This coat she turned to Fang Qi and said.


    Professor Jiang put it on you himself, not long after you fell asleep, said Fang Qi jealously. He worried that you might catch a cold. He also told his students to be quiet, and not to wake you up.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    She pictured that scene, felt a little embarrassed, and a little touched.


    He made her a pain in the ass to his students, didnt he? No wonder some students looked at her with unfriendly eyes before leaving.


    Fang Qi sighed, rested his head on his palms and said sarcastically, Maybe Ill be trans and marry Professor Jiang. Hes so warm.


    Nian Xi pretended to vomit. But honestly, she didnt know that Jiang Yuning could be so caring and warm either.


    At that time, Jiang Yuning brought a boy with sses to Nian Xi and said to her, This is Yang Wenzhi. You were looking for him.


    Nian Xi immediately showed the boy her police badge, said, We are police officers. Wed like to ask you some questions about Duan Yang. I heard that you two are good friends.


    Yeah, Yan Wenzhi nodded and said, Did something happen to him? I couldnt reach him during the New Year.


    Hes dead, said Nian Xi, A couple of days ago, his body was found near a river near the countryside. Wed like to ask you a few questions.


    Yang Wenzhi was stunned. Soon, tears gushed out of his eyes.


    Who killed him?


    We dont know yet. Thats why we want to talk to you. Did he have any enemies that you know of? Nian Xi took out her pen and notebook.


    She spent about twenty minutes talking to Yang Wenzhi. After that, she found Jiang Yuning next to her, his head resting on one palm, his eyes fixed right on her without blinking. It seemed as if he was afraid she might suddenly vanish into thin air.


    Youre still here? Nian Xi was a little surprised.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, then wrote, Its lunchtime. Ill buy you guys lunch. The food in the canteen is delicious.


    Fang Qi was speechless.


    So, that was why he didnt leave? He had finally seen the girl he liked. How could he take her to the canteen?


    However, seeing the pitiful look on Mr. Jiangs face, Fang Qi nodded and responded with, Alright, I like the food in the canteen too. Thank you.


    Whats so good about it? Nian Xi said.


    Fang Qi threw a disdainful nce at her. Couldnt she tell that he was trying to create an opportunity for Mr. Jiang and her? No wonder she was nearly the oldest single girl in the police station. Her EQ was so low.

 Chapter 1155. Because... You Lost Some Weight

    Chapter 1155. Because... You Lost Some Weight


    Jiang Yuning was nervous after hearing her.


    It was a rare opportunity to buy her a meal, but she didnt sound excited about canteen food.


    He felt dejected, Where are you going then? Ill just follow along.


    It didnt matter where they went, he just wanted to have a meal with her.


    Nian Xi grinned. It seemed as if he was following them for lunch for sure, Well, were going back to the police station. Are you going toe along as well?


    Jiang Yuning blinked his innocent eyes. Would he run into her ex-boyfriend at the station? He wondered if they had gotten back together; it had been a long while, after all. They were probably back together by now, he thought to himself. Would they act all intimate and lovey-dovey in front of him?


    He was in a dilemma.


    He didnt know if he could handle watching her hug and kiss another man; it was a difficult problem.


    Fang Qi watched Jiang Yuning contort into an awkward expression and finally said to Nian Xi, Come on, stop teasing Professor Jiang. He did give us a hand, after all, so lets join him in the canteen. Its nearly lunchtime, and I heard they have a great variety of dishes in this school. The environment and ambiance are nice too.


    Really? Nian Xi said in disbelief.


    Why would I lie to you? I used to be in charge of the area around here. Im always here when a student gets into a fight with another ssmate, Fang Qi said.


    Nian Xi finally agreed. Jiang Yuning was grinning now. He offered to lead the way to the new canteen.


    There were plenty of students who recognized Jiang Yuning on the way there. Most of them greeted him politely. He acted as if he didnt hear them as he was too busy exining things to Nian Xi while walking next to her, Thats the basketball court; everyone is ying basketball now. Thats the ser field over there; everyone is kicking the football. Thats the library; everyone is studying


    It was the most boring tour she had even been on! Why did he have to exin all those things? She could see what people were doing with her own eyes.


    But she didnt interrupt him since it was rare for him to talk so much voluntarily.


    When they walked by a snack bar, Jiang Yuning asked shyly, Would you like some water?


    Nian Xi shook her head.


    Im going to have some. I havent talked so much in a long time. My mouth is really dry, Jiang Yuning walked to the snack bar and bought a bottle of water. He finished the entire contents in one gulp.


    Fang Qi was staring at him in disbelief and then turned to say to Nian Xi, Professor Jiang really talked a lot. He gave us a tour of everything, even the benches by the pedestrian walkway.


    Nian Xi thought about how challenging it must have been for him.


    She looked as if she was deep in thoughtI was so unlike him. Hed never spoken so much in the past.


    When they arrived at the canteen, Nian Xi was impressed with the interior design. The lights were warm-toned and the floors were lined with wooden nks. It was like a quaint little cafe.


    Indeed, there was a huge variety of dishes, from all over the world.


    Jiang Yuning escorted the two of them to the staff counter, where the canteendy seemed to know him well, Professor Jiang, what are you having today? The usual?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and handed her a slip of paper he had already prepared, I have friends with me. Id like the tastiest foods. Ill have one of everything.


    The canteendy turned to look at Nian Xi and grinned as if she had justprehended something. She followed Jiang Yunings instructions and served them a little of every signature dish on the menu.


    Nian Xi said, Theres no need to order so much food.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and stared at her, Its not too much, because you lost a bit of weight.


    His voice was soft and gentle, Nian Xi blushed quickly.


    Sometimes, she wished he would stay mute.

 Chapter 1156. Do You… Have A Baby?

    Chapter 1156. Do You�� Have A Baby?


    Yeah. I look after the baby every day. How can I not lose weight? Said Nian Xi dryly.


    On hearing those words, Jiang Yuning was dumbfounded. His gentle, lovely face grew pale.


    Do you have a baby? He asked.


    When did she get married? When did she get pregnant? Why didnt he know about this?


    He put a hand on the wall. He felt dizzy.


    He felt as if he was having a heart attack, that he was passing out.


    Its my brothers baby, Nian Xi exined. Besides, it takes ten months to make a baby. You and I saw each other not so long ago. How could I possibly have a baby so soon?


    Once she said that Jiang Yuning instantly sighed with relief. She was right. He had gone to the police station to see her a few times. She never looked like a pregnant woman.


    He realized how much he didnt want her to get married and have a baby.


    When do you n to have your own baby? He stammered. He didnt know how to ask that question, and after saying it out loud, he regretted it.


    He saw Nian Xi move her lips slightly, so he hurriedly covered his ear and said, I dont want to hear it, I dont want to hear it. I dont want to know.


    He believed he wouldnt be able to handle her answer.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    Whatever youre having, its getting serious, she thought, You asked that question.


    Because of the baby topic, Jiang Yuning was a little uneasy the whole time. At the table, he introduced the different dishes to Nian Xi, I think this is beef, this is pork and this Im not sure what it is


    Nian Xi sighed, Thank you. You dont need to introduce these dishes to me. I know what they are. By the way, do you know Duan Yang?


    Jiang Yuning knew that Duan Yang was the victims name. He tried very to concentrate, but that name didnt ring any bells. He never paid attention to other people, after all.


    He shook his head.


    I guess itll take us some time to solve this case, said Nian Xi disappointedly.


    Im sorry, Jiang Yuning apologized.


    Why are you sorry? You didnt kill him, Nian Xi said, then turned to Fang Qi, Weve spent the whole morning asking around about the victim. I feel that Duan Yang was a proud person. I guess a lot of people didnt like him. Now Im hoping we can get some useful information from the forensics report. I have a feeling the murderer is probably from school.


    Fang Qi agreed with her. I heard that he spent most of his time in the physicalb and hardly ever left the campus. I dont think he had any enemies on the outside. I have a feeling well be visiting Xia City University a lot.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning, who was focusing on his lunch, felt his eyes glowing. He hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, then said to Nian Xi, I Ill also be here too.


    Arent you just a guest professor? Nian Xi was surprised, I thought you only came here once in a while.


    Jiang Yuning nced at her shyly. He couldnt tell her that he wanted toe to the university only because of her, could he?


    He wracked his brain and finally looked at the food on his te and said, Because the food is so good.


    Fang Qi found thatme excuse of his hrious. You only eat vegetables, he said, The vegetables in all canteens taste the same. Its because of Nian Xi, isnt it


    Before he could finish, Nian Xi stomped his foot to signal him to stop talking.


    Fang Qi curved his lips downward, saw Jiang Yuning nce at Nian Xi with a very shy and panicked look, then lowered his head to send some rice into his mouth with his chopsticks. In the meantime, he murmured, Dont talk nonsense.


    Nian Xi looked at his red ears. He looked so helpless and adorable. She even wanted to squeeze his cheeks with her fingers.


    When youre here, can you tell me? We can have lunch together. A couple of minutester, the shy boy, Jiang Yuning, finally extended the invitation.


    After lunch, Jiang Yuning dropped his chopsticks and said, Its so nice to have had lunch together with you. Can you please let me know when youre here again? My treat.


    Then, he abruptly smiled like a little boy.


    Nian Xi paused briefly. She didnt understand why he was suddenly so happy.


    Oh, in France, when you were in jail, were you okay? I was gonna wait for you, but our director told us toe back.


    Her words made Jiang Yuning even happier.


    It turned out that she was not a cold and unfeeling person.


    It was good. I just felt ufortable in my heart, because I couldnt see you.


    After saying that, he dropped his head again.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but want to rub his hair.


    Then, I thought about it and realized it was a good thing. If I saw you, It would mean that you were in there with me, Jiang Yuning continued with a low voice.


    Nian Xis heart softened. Just eat. The food is getting cold, she hurriedly said to him.


    Jiang Yuning finished the food he ordered, then stopped eating.


    Nian Xi was the only one who was still eating.


    Watching her eat a lot of crayfish, he couldnt help furrowing his brows. Atst, he reached out a hand and dragged the te of crayfish to himself.


    Nian Xi paused briefly with surprise. She recalled having crayfish together with Nian Junting and Luosang. Back then, her brother was still pursuing Luosang. He attentively removed crayfish shells for Luosang. She was so jealous of Luosang at that time.


    Hes not gonna peel any crayfish for me, is he? She thought, Does he know that Id like that? Is he smart enough to do that?


    Her eyes glowed. She started to look forward to it. But still, she pretended not to know what he was going to do.


    Why did you take away the te? Im still eating.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, Crayfish arent good for your health. They live in dirty water. My father often did experiments with them. They have heavy metal and parasites inside their bodies. I guess you never saw those parasites under microscopes. Crayfish are dirtier than the dirtiest trashcan in the world


    Enough. Stop! Nian Xis face even turned green when she heard what he said, I was expecting you to remove their shells for me, but instead, you told me not to eat them.


    Im doing this for your own good, seeing her serious face, Jiang Yuning was a little sad. They are really filthy. Those restaurants out there dont even wash them properly. My father showed me the news. They wash those crayfish with a kind of detergent, oxalic acid that is often used in factories. Theyre highly harmful to human bodies. For the worst case


    Alright, alright, Nian Xi waved her hand. Eating together with a scientist could be annoying. Her brother had the same problem.


    First of all, these crayfish are bred, not wild. These are cleaner than wild crayfish. Second, I dont eat them every day. This is the first time I had crayfish this month. They wont make me sick if I only eat them once in a while, will they? Also, if you dont want me to eat them in those restaurants, will you cook crayfish for me?


    Jiang Yuning widened his eyes, looked at her. I dont know how, he said with a muffled voice.


    Nian Xi dragged the crayfish te back to herself and said, So dont stop me. If you say one more word about this, I wont eat with you again.


    Again? Jiang Yunings eyes glowed. Will we have lunch together again?


    When did I say that this is thest time we would be eating together? Nian Xi felt a little awkward.


    Jiang blinked, then responded shyly, You didnt.

 Chapter 1157. That Pig, He Didnt Know What Was WeChat

    Chapter 1157. That Pig, He Didn''t Know What Was WeChat


    Fang Qi sighed internally.


    Was there nothing else apart from eating?


    Nian Xi wasnt a glutton after all.


    No wonder he was single.


    Nian Xi raised her brows and said, How do I contact you? You dont even have a phone.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. That was a good reason. He never realized it in the past, but now he understood how not having a phone could be a huge inconvenience. I have I have a house telephone, he said.


    Nian Xi was bemused. Do you think its the office? Whatndline? This isnt the eighties or nies. Everyone has WeChat, mobile wallet services, and video chat functions on their phones. Im not nagging you, but you really ought to get yourself a phone. You have a poor sense of direction anyway. People could contact you more easily if you had a phone.


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips. He never bought a phone because he hated to be disturbed by other people, and he hated talking to other people. Then will you contact me?


    Nian Xi choked immediately.


    If you contact me Ill get one. Jiang Yuning shrugged. If you wont, then I wont buy a phone.


    He was practically saying that she was the only reason why he would buy a phone.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Did he have to be so straightforward? After all, someone else was present.


    And why did he want her to contact him anyway? Couldnt he be the one who contacted her?


    Fang Qi was trying hard to hold back hisughter and said, Youll find out if you buy a phone. If you dont, you really wont stand a chance with her.


    Jiang Yuning thought hard about it before concluding that Fang Qi was right.


    He was going to get a phone.


    And wait for her to contact him.


    Give me your phone number. Jiang Yuning pushed his notebook to her and gestured for Nian Xi to write.


    She looked at him and shook her head helplessly. She wrote down her handphone number and her WeChat handle for him.


    Jiang Yuning took the notepad from her and stared at the username she had just jotted down. Whats this? What kind of telephone number is this? There are alphabets in it.


    Nian Xi was about to vomit blood. She couldnt be bothered to exin it to him and said, Go figure it out yourself.


    Oh Jiang Yuning kept his notepad carefully.


    Fang Qi looked at him sympathetically. He was still a long way from getting a girlfriend. He couldnt even figure out a WeChat username. He had a lot of learning and catching up to do!


    After lunch, Nian Xi left along with Fang Qi. They had received the report from the forensic medical department and were about to discuss the case.


    As the car pulled away, Fang Qi remarked after Jiang Yuning disappeared from sight, Jiang Yuning is a pure and innocent good man. He still has it for you.


    Nian Xi looked down at their notes, pretending as if she didnt hear him.


    When the car stopped at the traffic light, Fang Qi snatched her notebook away from her and said, Nian Xi, Im serious. Youre not so young anymore, and you broke up with Feng Jichuan about a year ago. You should get out there and get into a new rtionship. Stop spending all your time at work. Youre such a young girl but youre acting like an old hulk.


    Whos a hulk? Nian Xi red at him.


    Im not pushing you to get married. I just dont want you to miss out on a good man who has just appeared in front of you. Fang Qi started the car again and said, Fine. Its up to you. You gave him your WeChat ount anyway.


    Nian Xi blushed. What was she thinking when she gave him her WeChat ount?!


    He didnt even know what it was. Troubling.


    At one-thirty in the afternoon, Uncle Han came to pick Jiang Yuning up when he saw him carrying his little notebook and daydreaming.


    Uncle Han was worried and asked, Did you have a nice lunch with Miss Nian?

 Chapter 1158. Become WeChat Friends

    Chapter 1158. Be WeChat Friends


    Jiang Yuning nodded and showed him the series of numbers Nian Xi had written down.


    These are Miss Nians phone number and WeChat number? Uncle Han spent a few seconds reading them, then asked.


    Jiang Yuning blinked. Suddenly, a splendid light shone out of his eyes. He immediately lowered his head and wroteImpressive. I didnt even know its a WeChat number.


    Uncle Han didnt know what to say.


    Be WeChat friends with Jiang Yuning seemed a little hard.


    Im going to buy a phone, Jiang Yuning wrote.


    Uncle Han was d at first but then started to worry. He wanted a cell phone because he wanted to be with Miss Nian. But what if he got hurt in this rtionship? What if he was getting in over his head?


    Sir, havent you decided not to bother Miss Nian?


    Jiang Yuning was feeling heartsick. He didnt want to bother her, but their lives suddenly intersected. Fate brought her to him. He couldnt help it.


    He dropped his head.


    Uncle Han couldnt bear seeing that look on his face and thought, Never mind, just get him a phone. Hes so adorable. Ill get him an older peoples phone so he wont be able to bother her easily, Uncle Han thought.


    One hourter, Uncle Han and Jiang Yuning showed up in a cell phone store.


    We need a simple cellphone. The kind older people use, thanks.


    For you? The salesman said to Uncle Han smilingly.


    Eh-hem, Uncle Han coughed, then pointed at Jiang Yuning and said, No, for him.


    The salesman gave an awkward smile, then hurriedly took out a simple cell phone and handed it to Jiang Yuning.


    Jiang Yuning took the phone, pressed a few buttons, then asked the salesman, Wheres WeChat?


    Im sorry, theres no WeChat on this phone, said the salesman.


    Jiang Yuning dropped the phone, shook his head and wrote with discontent, I want a phone that has WeChat on it.


    Im sorry, all our mobile phones are designed for older people. Most of them dont use WeChat, said the salesman embarrassedly.


    Jiang Yuning turned to Uncle Han unhappily, then wrote, Why are you buying an old persons phone for me? Im not old.


    Uncle Han didnt know how to respond.


    It seemed that he was determined to be WeChat friends with Miss Nian.


    Never mind. Just let him do what he wants, Uncle Han thought, Its exhausting for him to secretly wait for her near the police station once or twice a week anyway.


    He brought a faddish phone for Jiang Yuning, and a SIM card, and asked the salesperson to save Nian Xis number on that phone.


    Looking at Nian Xis number on his phone, Jiang Yuning felt very satisfied. He spent the whole afternoon on that phone. It was the first time hed ever used a smartphone, but as a scientist, he learned fast.


    He soon figured out how the phone worked. He registered on WeChat then sent a friend request to Nian Xi.


    After that, he checked his phone every few minutes. He checked his phone countless times that night. Every time, he sadly wrote a note for Uncle HanMaybe she doesnt want to be my WeChat friend.


    Uncle Nian nearly suffered a mental copse, as he had read the same question from Jiang Yuning for too many times.


    Miss Nian is a policewoman. Shes very busy. She doesnt have so much time to spend on her phone. Dont worry. She will ept your friend request, or she wouldnt have given you her WeChat number.


    Only after hearing that was Jiang Yuning relieved a little.


    Nian Xi was really busybusy solving Duan Yangs case.


    She went home at ten pm, fed Jiang-jiang, took a shower, theny on her bed. Only then did she notice Jiang Yunings friend request.


    His WeChat name was Jiang Yuning, simple and real.


    It was typical Jiang Yuning. He used his real name for his WeChat username.


    He really bought a phone. Nian Xi didnt expect him to do that. She epted his friend request without hesitating.


    Jiang Yuning soon found Nianxi in his contact list. He was thrilled. He wanted to send her a message but worried that he might disturb her. So, he started browsing her WeChat moment posts instead.


    She liked to make WeChat moment posts. She made one post every two days on average.

 Chapter 1159. Pretty

    Chapter 1159. Pretty


    At midnight, Uncle Han saw that Jiang Yuning still wasnt asleep when he walked past his room.


    Mister, you should get some rest now, he couldnt help but remind him. If Jiang Yuning wasnt doing his research work, he normally would be sleeping by nine oclock.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, he was still ying with his phone.


    Uncle Han sighed, no wonder young people liked to upy themselves with their phone.


    The next day, Nian Xi woke up and when she opened her WeChat, she was shocked. Someone had left more than a thousand likes andments on her WeChat.


    She scrolled through her notifications and they all belonged to Jiang Yuning.


    If she posted a selfie, he wouldment, So pretty.


    If she posted a picture of the scenery, he would alsoment, So beautiful.


    If she wasnt in a good mood, he would onlyment, Cheer up.


    If she was in a good mood, he wouldment, Im d youre happy.


    Anyway, hemented on all of her random posts online.


    Nian Xi didnt have any words to describe her emotions. She had hundreds of posts over the years; he actually read every single one of them. Alright, she had had plenty of suitors before and some of them would scroll through her page and leave somements. But no one had been as crazy and obsessed as he was, he was a professional stalker!


    She only added himtest night. What time did he go to sleep?


    He left so manyments, she didnt know which one to reply to. It wouldnt be nice if she ignored all of them.


    Nian Xi chose the most recent couple and replied, Thank you.


    After she washed up, Jiang Yuning had already replied to her, Youre wee.


    Why did he have to reply to that? Why was he up so early anyway after sleeping sote?


    She thought about it before replying again, Why are you up so early?


    Jiang Yuning replied, Im using the toilet while using my phone; this is my new number, 15******.


    Nian Xi replied, Ok.


    Jiang Yuning replied, Remember to save it to your contact, remember to contact me.


    Nian Xi replied, Ok.


    Jiang Yuning replied, When are youing to school?


    Looking at her phone and the crowdedment section, Nian Xi was a little baffled and shemented, If you have so many questions, why dont you just text me?


    Jiang Yuning replied, I dont want to disturb you.


    Commenting on her posts wasnt disturbing her?


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say before opening a chatroom with him and she sent him a smiley face.


    At the breakfast table, Jiang Yuning was grinning at his phone and said to Uncle Han, unprecedently, Xixi sent a smiley face to me this morning.


    Uncle Han was shuddering from shock when Jiang Yuning suddenly spoke, Thats great, and then?


    Jiang Yuning looked down in embarrassment, I sent her a smiley face as well.


    Uncle Han coughed violently, You didnt send anything else?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, a little stunned.


    Uncle Han forced himself to swallow the porridge and said, If someone sends you a smiley face voluntarily, youre killing the conversation if you only send them a smiley face back.


    Jiang Yuning was surprised and Uncle Han said, You can ask about breakfast or something. Or ask her what she would be doing today.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head, appearing enlightened.


    After Uncle Han gave him a lesson, Jiang Yuning wrote, You can tell the university that I want to go over for lessons.


    Uncle Han sighed, love was powerful indeed. He knew how much Jiang Yuning hated going over to give lessons at the university.


    On Thursday, when Nian Xi walked into the station, Cheng Jing walked over while yawning, Ive been watching the camera footage at the university, he never left the campus.

 Chapter 1160. She Doesnt Have A Boyfriend… She Doesnt Have A Boyfriend…

    Chapter 1160. She Doesn''t Have A Boyfriend�� She Doesn''t Have A Boyfriend��


    Nian Xi wrinkled her eyebrows and said, I think he died on campus and his body was moved to the riverside. No wonder his legs were a little curled. It was like the medical examiner said. The suspect put him in a suitcase and brought him off-campus. Identifying the suspect is going to be tough. Normally, vehicles go in and out of school all the time. The murder took ce right before the winter vacation when a lot of students were leaving with their suitcases. How do we know which suitcase Duan Yang was in or how the suspect left?


    I guess you guys need to spend more time at the university, said Cheng Jing, We need to locate the first crime scene. Didnt forensics find carbon dust under his nails? That could mean that he put up a struggle.


    Carbon dust is also found near printers, said Nian Xi.


    Go to the university and check out the printers, Cheng Jing patted her on the shoulder, then left.


    That morning, Fang Qi and Nian Xi talked about the case and decided to pay another visit to the university in the afternoon.


    I wonder if Professor Jiang will be teaching a ss today, Fang Qi saidughing.


    Do you want to go? Nian Xi raised her eyebrows and said, You didnt understand one word he saidst time.


    And you did? Fang Qi rolled his eyes and said, Ah, I wonder if hell buy you dinner.


    Officer Fang, be serious. Were just starting the investigation. The victims family is counting on us to solve this case, said Nian Xi.


    They nned to head to the university together after lunch, but before they were ready to leave, Nian Xi got a phone call from her family saying that her grandma wasnt feeling well.


    Nian Xi asked if she could leave early to visit her grandma in the hospital.


    Fang Qi went to the university alone. The campus wasrge. He spent a long time looking for printers and asking around but still couldnt locate the first crime scene.


    However, he did run into Jiang Yuning.


    Jiang Yuning looked around when he saw Fang Qi, then handed him a noteWhere is she?


    Fang Qi was ttered. It was the first time Jiang Yuning took the initiative tomunicate with him.


    Nian Xis grandma isnt feeling well. Shes in the hospital. He said.


    Jiang Yunings eyes showed a trace of concern.


    Which hospital? He hurriedly wrote.


    Professor Jiang, youre not going to visit her grandma, are you? Fang Qi said, I dont think you should. Youre only Nian Xis friend. Her family might not understand if you showed up unexpectedly at the hospital.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning dropped his head frustratedly. Fang Qi was right.


    Also, if he went to the hospital, what would her boyfriend think?


    Fang Qi sighed, if you really like her, you can just pursue her. Didnt she give you her phone number and WeChat number? Message her, if you dont like to talk.


    Jiang Yuning gave him a nce with a grievance, then wrote. How am I supposed to pursue her? She has a boyfriend. I cant ruin their rtionship.


    She doesnt have a boyfriend, Fang Qi was confused, I work with her every day. Ive never seen her go on a date. Shes still single.


    Jiang Yuning paused in shock. He popped his eyes, stared at Fang Qi as if he didnt believe what hed just heard. His hand even started trembling. He couldnt write anymore, so he stuttered to ask, But didnt she say shes getting back together with her ex-boyfriend?


    No, Fang Qi shook his head and said, They work in the same precinct. If she wanted to get back together with him, shed have done that long ago. She always goes out of her way to avoid him. I heard shes been single for more than a year now.


    So she lied to me, Jiang Yuning murmured, Why did she lie to me?


    Beats me! Oh, Professor Jiang: Do you know how carbon dust is usually used in school? Fang Qi asked.


    She doesnt have a boyfriend? she doesnt have a boyfriend!, Jiang Yuning couldnt hear his own words but fell into his own world.

 Chapter 1161. He Doesnt Need to Sneak Around Anymore

    Chapter 1161. He Doesn''t Need to Sneak Around Anymore


    Fang Qi decided to leave, as Jiang Yuning showed no interest in talking further with him.


    He just stood there, expressionless. Earlier, he thought Nian Xi had a boyfriend, so he didnt intrude on her privacy but just admired her from afar.


    Now he learned she was single. What should he do?


    He had no idea why she didnt get back together with her ex-boyfriend. He clearly understood she was single now and that it was perfectly eptable for him to be nice to her in public. He wouldnt be ruining her happiness by doing that. And he didnt need to sneak around anymore.


    That was great!


    At three pm, Grandma Nian underwent several diagnostic tests and examinations while Nian Xi kept herpany. It turned out that Grandma Nian had no severe illnesses but a lot of small problems.


    Earlier today, she passed out while working in her vegetable garden.


    ording to the test results, the doctor exined that it was because of insufficient blood flow to the brain.


    Grandma, youre almost eighty years old. Why are you still working in the vegetable garden? Do you really need to grow vegetables yourself? Nian Xiined.


    I dont, but thats an old habit, said Grandma Nian. Thats my only hobby. If I didnt take care of those vegetables, they might die. It would be such a pity.


    Nian Junting furrowed his eyebrows and said, If the steward hadnt found you lying in the garden, you might have died in this cold weather. Youre not allowed to work in the garden anymore. My father will take care of the vegetables from now on.


    I Nian Qingyun wore a sour face, I dont know how to do that. Also, why are you giving me an order? Which one of us heres the father?


    Whatever, Nian Junting saidckadaisically.


    Nian Qingyun didnt know what to say.


    How could that conversation be ended with whatever? He thought. Youre taking advantage of me.


    This kids getting more and more arrogant.


    Grandma Nian exhaled and said, Forget it. Im old. Ill die sooner orter. I wonder if Ill live long enough to see Nian Xi get married.


    While speaking, Grandma Nian looked at Nian Xi with a grievance.


    She felt a bad headacheing on. Howe it was about her again? Ever since the New Year, her family was pushing her harder and harder to get married.


    Grandma Nian held her hand and said, Xi, I like you the most among all my grandchildren. Im worried youll end up alone after I leave. I am not an old-school grandma. Even if one day you found out that you no longer liked men, Id ept you being with a woman. I just dont want you to be alone.


    Nian Xi felt the corners of her mouth twitching.


    Nian Qingyun rubbed his forehead, said, I wont ept that.


    Grandma, dont worry. Im straight, Nian Xi patted her grandma on the shoulder.


    Nian Xi kept her grandmapany until four oclock, then left the hospital. She got into the car, turned on her phone and saw the smiley-face emoji Jiang Yuning sent her.


    She shook her head, Is the emoji the only thing you can send? She replied to him. She was in a bad mood.


    Jiang Yuning immediately replied to her with a crying face emoji.


    Nian Xi honestly didnt know what to say.


    She didnt reply to his message again.


    Back at the station, she carefully read through Duan Yangs file again and again until her stomach started to grumble. She raised her head and saw that it was already dark. Everyone had already gone home; she was there alone.


    She packed up her things and left in a hurry. At the door, she saw someone sitting on the chair in the hallway. He was wearing a camel coat, a pair of jeans. On the chair next to him were kidney treatments, donkey-hide gtin solution, and all sorts of dietary supplements.


    She paused with a look of surprise and even doubted her own eyes. Only until she walked up to him did she confirm that it was him indeed.


    Mr. Jiang! What are you doing here?

 Chapter 1162. How Could She Be so Straightforward?

    Chapter 1162. How Could She Be so Straightforward?


    Jiang Yuning raised his head andnded his eyes on her. A few secondster, he suddenly stood up. After spending another a few seconds looking at her, he raised a post-it note that saidIm waiting for you.


    How long have you been waiting here? Why didnt you juste in? Nian Xi was bemused. She had suchplicated feelings about him. Jiang Yuning was an outstanding scientist. She had seen him glowing in front of countless people, and she admired him.


    He shouldnt have put himself in such a low ce for her.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head to write another note. Nian Xi grabbed his pen away from him and said, Stop writing. Didnt you talk to me when I saw youst time? You need to get rid of this bad habit.


    Jiang Yuning pressed his thin lips together, then finally started talking, I went there, saw you busy, so I didnt interrupt you.


    Nian Xi didnt know about that.


    Sometimes, she was so focused on her work she even forgot all about the time.


    She looked at him, feeling her heart melt.


    She turned her eyes to the medicines on the chair, Why did you buy so many drugs? Are you having a kidney problem? Why are you having kidney problems at such a young age?


    Her heart skipped a beat when she heard herself saying that. She heard that the people who had kidney problems werent getting enough sex.


    So, she couldnt help but look at him from head to toe, and her eyes lingered between his legs for a couple of seconds.


    Is he having that kind of problem? She wondered. She remembered identally touching him once.


    Is it because he spent all his time in theb doing science projects?


    Im telling you, these cant cure you, Nian Xi picked up a box of medicine and said, You should get some exercise. Look at you. Youre skinny. If exercise doesnt work, you need to go to the hospital and see a doctor. Dont take these pills. You dont even know whats in them.


    Jiang Yuning heard what she said, couldnt help but drop his head to look at himself. He suddenly recalled seeing her ex-boyfriends picture. I get it. You like strong ones, he said, frustratedly.


    The grievance could be detected from his words.


    It had been so long, but she still liked strong boys.


    He thought she had gotten back together with her ex-boyfriend, so he quit exercising. If he had known she was still single, he would have developed some muscles.


    He could start today, though.


    Realizing she had probably hurt his feelings, Nian Xi wanted to p herself on the mouth. What did she say? He might be a lonely person, but he still had his pride.


    Eh I mean Its not such a big deal. Nowadays, people are all under heavy pressure. Many guys have the same problem.


    Jiang Yuning was confused.


    Nian Xi coughed slightly. Did she have to say it out loud straightforwardly?


    Just That kind of problem.


    What problem? Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes. Did he really not understand? Or was he just pretending not to?


    Forget it, she said.


    No, you have to make it clear, Jiang Yuning refused to drop the subject. If she thought he wasnt good enough in something, hed need to improve. He couldnt let himself be not-good-enough in her eyes.


    Nian Xi lost her patience, so she said, I meant bad in bed, bed. Ya know? Making love? The thing people do to make babies? If you dont have that kind of problem, why did you get so many kidney reinforcements?


    Jiang Yuning popped his eyes with surprise. After realizing what she was talking about, his entire body turned red.


    It turned out that she thought he was having that kind of problem.


    How could she be so straightforward? How uneptable.

 Chapter 1163. Are You Asking Me Out?

    Chapter 1163. Are You Asking Me Out?


    A whileter, he stuttered, I bought these for your grandma. I heard shes in the hospital.


    Nian Xi was stunned, feeling slightly regretful.


    She shouldnt have assumed he had sexual disfunction when she saw him carrying those supplements.


    I dont have sexual dysfunction. As she stayed silent, Jiang Yuning added with a weak voice. His ears had even turned red.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    Jiang Yuning turned, and said shyly, Even though I never tried it.


    Eh-hem, Nian Xi looked outside the window and said, The moon is so round tonight.


    The moon? Where? Jiang Yuning followed her eyes and asked with confusion.


    Nian Xi looked carefully, didnt see the moon.


    At that very moment, she wished he could be mute again. She was so embarrassed.


    In my heart, she struggled and said with difficulty.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, slightly moved his lips. Before he said another word, Nian Xi interrupted him and said, Why have you bought these for my grandma? She doesnt have kidney problems.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning dropped his head with disappointment. I bought these in the pharmacy, he said, I asked for the good and expensive medicine for elderly people, so they rmended these for me. I bought them all. But your grandma doesnt need them. What should I do? I bought the wrong medicines.


    Nian Xi knew he meant well. It was already impressive that a man like him bought supplements for her grandma. So, she hurriedly said to him, This donkey-hide solution and protein powder are suitable for my grandma, though. As for the kidney solutions, I think you can save them for yourself.


    I dont need them, Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then hurriedly shook his head and said, Im well. Im good.


    Seeing his serious and anxious face, Nian Xi couldnt help butugh, Eh maybe youll be even better after youve had these.


    Why do I need to be better? Jiang Yuning gave her a sad nce, I dont have anyone to sleep with.


    Nian Xi honestly didnt know how to respond to that.


    She was always a thick-skinned person, but at that moment she felt herself blushing.


    Also, why was he looking at her like that? Did he want her to sleep with him?


    She thought for a moment, then said awkwardly, Ill give them to my grandpa. Next time, dont waste money buying these. I have received your kindness.


    Oh, Jiang Yuning nodded, quickly lifted the shopping bags and said, Put them in your car.


    Nian Xi opened the trunk of her car, Jiang Yuning put the bags in. Under the streetlight, he looked at her with his bright eyes, said, Um Your apartment is a mess. How about I clean it for you?


    Nian Xi stayed silent.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, continued with, Its really a mess


    Alright, stop, Nian Xi even wanted to cry when she heard a man call her apartment a mess. She was notzy. She workedte all the time and never had the energy to clean her apartment. That was why the ce was messy.


    Before, Murong Cheng hired cleaningdies for her every week. However, ever since she started rejecting blind dates, Murong Cheng stopped hiring cleaningdies for her and also cut her allowance.


    She wanted to bring a man home to clean her apartment for free, but she also understood that she should not use him like that.


    Dont bother. Its gettingte. Ill buy you dinner, she looked at the time and said.


    Jiang Yuning swallowed his saliva, said tremblingly, Are you asking me out?


    No I Nian Xi wasnt expecting that.


    Okay, Jiang Yuning dropped his head shyly, said, I have time.

 Chapter 1164. I Dont Want to Come Here Alone

    Chapter 1164. I Don''t Want to Come Here Alone


    Nian Xi was shocked.


    She very much wanted to say out loud that she had not done that. He came to her and brought her gifts, so she should take him out for dinner to thank him.


    But seeing him act like a happy little boy, she gave up exining.


    It was just dinner. It didnt matter who invited whom.


    What are we gonna eat? Nian Xi asked.


    Jiang Yuning only ate vegetables but knew she liked meat. He also remembered that she seemed to enjoy steak back in France. So, he hurriedly said, Steak.


    Great, were going for barbecue, Nian Xi stretched herself and said, Its getting warm. A barbecue is our best bet. Come on, get in the car.


    Once she turned around, Jiang Yuning grasped a corner of her shirt.


    I said steak, Jiang Yuning murmured.


    I know. I didnt say wed follow your advice. I just wanted to know what was on your mind. Dont take what a girl says too seriously. Nian Xi couldnt help but rub his hair. He looked like a fluffy little animal.


    It felt different from rubbing her Jiang-jiangs fur.


    After she got into the car, Jiang Yuning touched his own head. He sensed sweetness from his heart.


    Why did he feel sofortable when she touched him?


    What are you waiting for? Get in, Nian Xi hastened him. Jiang Yuning opened the door of the backseat.


    Im not your chauffeur. Sit in the front, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning paused for a few seconds, then hopped in the front and buckled himself up.


    The spring in Xia City was always warm. At night, many young people came out to drink and hang out.


    The snack street was especially busy. Most of the seats were taken.


    Jiang Yuning frowned when he saw all those people.


    He had never been to a ce like that before.


    Nian Xi walked straight into a restaurant, ordered fried rice, barbecue, roast fish, crayfish, then handed the menu to Jiang Yuning.


    You can order some grilled vegetables. If you dont like spicy food, tell the chef not to put chili sauce in yours.


    He took his time reading the menu, then ordered grilled potatoes, eggnt, sweetcorn, and swamp cabbage.


    The vegetables were served first. He tried a small piece of grilled eggnt, then nodded approvingly with glowing eyes.


    Its good, isnt it? Nian Xiughed, Eating vegetables at home every day must be so boring. You shoulde out and rx once in a while.


    Jiang Yuning swallowed the food, then wiped his mouth and said with a frown, I dont want toe here alone.


    You can invite Uncle Han, said Nian Xi.


    Jiang Yuning imagined sitting in front of Uncle Han in that restaurant, then shook his head and said, No.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    Can I invite you? He asked in a low voice.


    Nian Xis cheeks reddened a little. Jiang Yuning wasnt trying to hide his feelings. She could surely sense it.


    They hadnt seen each other for half a year, but he was still nice to her as always.


    She was scared once because her father told her the projects that he was working on were not the same as normal scientific projects.


    She could feel it. She and her colleagues had to protect him in Europe. In addition to them, he had a bodyguard like Xu Gang protecting him.


    She didnt understand why he was now teaching sses at a university, but she guessed that was only temporary. He was such an outstanding scientist, after all.


    When she didnt respond, Jiang Yuning said in a muffled voice, You dont have a boyfriend. You lied to me.

 Chapter 1165. I Dont Feel Well When I Cant See You

    Chapter 1165. I Don''t Feel Well When I Can''t See You


    A trace of guilt appeared on Nian Xis face.


    She did lie when she rejected him.


    She wanted him to stop pursuing her.


    When she saw him being taken away by the police at the airport, however, she regretted it.


    Im sorry


    Its okay. Standing in front of her, he grinned happily like a little boy.


    Nian Xi was amazed. She had no idea why he was so happy. Back in France You were put in jail Were you okay? I was going to wait for you toe out, but my director made mee back together with my colleagues.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning felt even happier.


    It turned out that she wasnt cold and heartless.


    It was good. I just felt unwell when I couldnt see you


    After saying that, he dropped his head again.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but want to reach out again to rub his head.


    Then I thought about it and realized that not seeing you was actually a good thing. If I did see you, youd be in there too, said Jiang Yuning in a low voice.


    Her heart melted. She hurriedly said, Just eat. Food doesnt taste as good when it gets cold.


    Jiang Yuning soon finished the food he ordered, leaving Nian Xi to finish up alone.


    He watched her eat the crawfishone after another. He couldnt help but furrow his eyebrows. Atst, he reached out his hand and dragged the serving te toward himself.


    Nian Xi paused with surprise. She recalled how Nian Junting attentively removed the crawfish shells for Luosang back when he was still pursuing her. As Nian Juntings little sister, she was honestly jealous of Luosang.


    Hes not going to remove the crawfish shells for me, is he? She wondered.


    Is he so smart?


    Her eyes glowed as she started anticipating what would happen next.


    She pretended not to know anything but asked him, Why did you take away the te? I havent finished yet.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, Crawfish arent healthy. They live in extremely dirty water. My father used to run experiments on them. Their bodies contain heavy metals and parasites. I assume youve never seen those parasites under a microscope. Crawfishes are as dirty as the dirtiest trash bin in the world


    Enough. Stop On hearing that, Nian Xi even had her face turn blue. I thought youd remove the shell for me, but instead, you told me not to eat it. This is awful.


    Im saying this for your good. Looking at her serious face, Jiang Yuning exined with a grievance, Theyre really dirty. The restaurants hardly clean them. My father has shown me the news. They clean the crawfish with some kind of powder, which is actually a type of oxalic acid often used in factories. That is highly harmful to human beings. For the worst case


    Alright, alright, Nian Xi waved a hand to stop him. Having a meal together with a scientist could be troublesome. In terms of food safety, Jiang Yuning was a little simr to Nian Junting. First of all, these crawfish are farmed, not as dirty as the wild ones. Second, I dont eat them every single day. This is the first time this month. Eating them asionally wont make me ill, will it? Also, if I cant eat them in restaurants, where else would I be eating them? Will you cook crawfish for me?


    Jiang Yuning popped his eyes, looked at her and said with a muffled voice, I dont know how.


    Nian Xi stayed silent, then pulled the te of crawfish back in front of her, and said, Dont stop me from eating here then. If you say one more unnecessary word, I wonte out and eat with you again.


    Again? Jiang Yunings eyes glowed. Will we do this again?


    Nian Xi felt a little embarrassed. Did I say that this will be the only time?


    No, you didnt, Jing Yuning blinked and said shyly.

 Chapter 1166. I Like You, Even if You Like Sucking Fingers

    Chapter 1166. I Like You, Even if You Like Sucking Fingers


    Nian Xi honestly didnt know what to say.


    Why was he so shy? She wanted very much to pinch his ears.


    Can you give it to me now? Said Nian Xi helplessly.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and nced at the crawfish, but still didnt give it to her. Ill remove the shell for you, he said, Your way of eating is too unhygienic. You even licked the oil on your fingers


    Nian Xi felt like crying. She was happy that finally, a guy was willing to remove a crawfish shell for her. What he said made her feel so embarrassed.


    Im unhygienic, so what? I love sucking my fingers. Do you have a problem with that? She asked aggressively.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned to hear that. It was the first time he saw her being so aggressive. She was like a tigress, cute, though. I Im fine with it. I like you, even if you like sucking your fingers


    After saying that, his ears turned red. He dropped his head, and quietly started removing the shell of the crawfish.


    His sudden confession made Nian Xi blush.


    She hurriedly took a sip of water to calm herself down.


    Jiang Yuning removed the crawfish shell for her very carefully. He even picked every slight piece of shell on the head of the crawfish. He wished he could wipe the crawfish flesh with a tissue.


    Just give it to me. Its getting cold, Nian Xi lost her patience and took the crawfish away from his hands with her chopsticks.


    Jiang Yuning blinked. Shes so gluttonous, he thought.


    Do you think Im a greedy eater? Nian Xi figured out what he was thinking, Im telling you, Im not. Compared with my sister-inw, I am nothing in the world of eaters. Im just hungry. I didnt have lunch or dinner.


    You cant keep skipping meals, Jing Yuning, on hearing that, wore a serious look, Skipping meals isnt healthy.


    Nian Xi almost burst outughing. You sound like my father, really.


    He sounded like a retired official.


    What young guy would talk like that?


    Jiang Yuning was so anxious that his face even reddened. I dont want to be your father. I want to be your your never mind. Im not telling you yet.


    He couldnt put pressure on her. He needed to be nice to her, so she would fall in love with him slowly.


    Uncle Han told him that before he came to see her.


    Nian Xi thought he would say boyfriend only he didnt. Instead, he ended the conversation just like that. She wanted tough so much.


    Did he think she wouldnt know about his feelings as long as he didnt tell her? It was so obvious.


    Never mind. Its a good thing he didnt bring it up. She liked him, but after all, they hadnt seen each other for a long time.


    It felt nice to have somebody remove the shells of her crawfish. He was slow but willing to do that for her. Finally, she didnt need to always be jealous of other girls.


    She would have felt better if she had had a nice and gentle brother to care for her.


    But her brother was a master of making her feel worse.


    Every time her brother hurt her, she wanted a man to care for her.


    Jiang Yuning removed the shall of all crawfish, then looked at the oil on his fingers. Thinking that Nian Xi liked sucking fingers, he had an itch in his heart. Without thinking much, he said to her, Look, I have so much oil on my fingers. Dont you like sucking fingers? Would you like to suck mine?


    Nian Xi was drinking the water. Hearing his words, she sprayed the water in her mouth and had her entire face turn red.


    What did he say?


    She dropped the ss, red at him and said through clenched teeth, Good for you, Jiang Yuning. Youve learned to take advantage of me, havent you?

 Chapter 1167. Xi, You Really Are A Thrifty Girl Who Knows How to Live A Life

    Chapter 1167. Xi, You Really Are A Thrifty Girl Who Knows How to Live A Life


    I didnt, said Jiang Yuning with an innocent expression.


    You didnt? Are you serious? Nian Xiined, Who are you to me? How can I suck your fingers? We shouldnt suck other peoples fingers, should we?


    Jiang Yuning blinked, thought for a moment, then said, No, not really, but I dont mind sucking yours. Youre not like the others to me.


    He immediately regretted saying that. Once again, he identally revealed his thoughts.


    Nian Xi rubbed her forehead speechlessly. She almost pped the table. Im not asking if you mind or not. I mind, okay? Im not ascivious girl.


    I dont mind you beingscivious, Jiang Yuning smiled shyly.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. She felt as if he was from another world.


    She let out a breath. Hed piss my brother off badly if the two of them had to spend any time with each other, she thought.


    She spent a moment picturing that scene, found it not so bad.


    Thank you, I dont want to bescivious, she took a deep breath and said.


    Okay, Jiang Yuning dropped his head disappointedly, then wiped his fingers one by one with tissues.


    After finishing her meal, Nian Xi asked the waiter for the bill.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly took out his wallet.


    Ill get the bill, Nian Xi said. She ordered more food than he did and it was her idea to go out to dinner.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly. He had never gone on a date before, but he understood that a guy shouldnt let a girl pay for dinner. Uncle Han had also warned him that having the girl pay the bill on a date would be a huge mistake.


    He worried that Nian Xi might pay the bill before he did, so he quickly took a wad of bills out of his wallet.


    We dont have ten yuan for change, said the waiter apologetically, Can you use Alipay or WeChat?


    Jiang Yuning was so confused. He was new to WeChat, and he didnt even have an Alipay amount.


    Nian Xi figured that he had no money in his WeChat ount, so she hurriedly said, Ill pay the bill. You can buy me dinner the next time.


    Jiang Yuning instantly shook his head. No, that would not happen.


    Keep the change. He finally came up with an idea.


    Thank you, thank you, said the waiter happily.


    No, Nian Xi didnt agree with that, then said to the waiter, You can send me the ten yuan via WeChat.


    The waiter pulled a long face. While turning around, he murmured, What a stingy woman.


    Nian Xi was infuriated to hear that. Jiang Yuning turned and said to her, Youre not stingy.


    Nian Xi nodded. Thankfully, he knew her well enough.


    Ten yuan meant nothing to her, but, the restaurant didnt offer her any discount, so why should she pay more? Her money was earned through effort.


    You are trying to save money for me, Jiang Yuning continued.


    Nian Xi stayed silent.


    Why was the conversation getting a little strange?


    Jiang Yuning looked at her deeply in the eyes, said, Xi, you really are a thrifty girl who knows how to live life.


    Nian Xi wanted to bury her head in her arms.


    What did she just hear? Someone just called her thrifty. God.


    He was having some huge misconceptions about her.


    Since she was a little girl, her family had alwaysined about how extravagantly she spent money and how hard it was for her to save anything.


    For the first time, someone told her she was thrifty. She nodded without thinking, said, You are right. My parents always taught me to work hard and save money since I was a little girl. Every penny should be spent wisely.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. Nian Xis parents were so good at educating their daughter.


    But Nian Xi continued with, I never managed to do that.


    Jiang Yuning didnt know how to respond to that.

 Chapter 1168. I Like It When You Take Advantages of Me

    Chapter 1168. I Like It When You Take Advantages of Me


    The stillnesssted for a few seconds.


    Jiang Yuning had never been through something like that. After a short daze, he hurriedly said, Its okay. I have money, and I dont spend much. Ill give you my money.


    This guy seems to be so innocent normally, and turns out to be pretty smart, Nian Xi thought.


    To be honest, if he tried to convince her to save money, she might stop giving him any chance.


    She didnt like the guys who would tell girls to save money. You dont have money? Its fine. I have money. You can spend my moneyThat was what she wanted to hear from a guy.


    His money might not be enough for her, but it would be fine. As long as he had that willingness to spend money for her.


    For a guy like that, she would even be willing to live a poor life together with him, if necessary.


    He was happy to provide for her. That was already good enough.


    She wasnt thinking of the ones who would try to tell her to save money as bad people. She just felt that if a boy really liked her, he would be happy to spend money for her, instead of trying to stop her from spending too much money. Also, her family environment made her hate being restrained.


    Why would I spend your money? I can make my own money, Nian Xi raised her eyebrows.


    She liked him, but still, she couldnt spend his money just like that.


    Jiang Yuning pouted slightly, said, But, if you dont spend my money, how am I supposed to spend my money?


    Nian Xi was touched, and also jealous of him. Oh, I cant believe you have that kind of worry.


    She herself owned a lot of properties and had a super-rich family. However, the money she earned by being a policewoman was never enough for her.


    Dont you? Jiang Yuning blinked his eyes.


    Once again, Nian Xi felt as if she was stabbed in the heart.


    Lets head home. Ill drive you, she sighed.


    In the car, she asked him where he lived.


    Niang Yuning looked at the time. It was already nine pm, a littlete indeed. Normally, hed be in bed at that time. So, he assumed that she needed to sleep soon as well. He told her his address.


    On the way home, Jiang Yuning was looking at his phone. He spent quite a while but still failed to figure it out.


    How do you put money in your WeChat ount? He asked Nian Xi.


    You need to connect it with your bank ount, Nian Xi parked at his downstairs then picked up her phone, sent him ten yuan, Here, the change that the restaurant owner gave me just now.


    Dont give it to me, Jiang Yuning wasnt happy to receive the money. He liked it when she spent his money.


    I know ten yuan means nothing to you. But, were friends now. I dont like taking advantage of friends, Nian Xi exined.


    Jiang Yuning was still unhappy.


    I like it when you take advantage of me, he said.


    Nian Xi, again, didnt know what to say. Jiang Yuning talked way too straightforward. Sometimes, she felt really awkward when talking to him.


    Just go home. Im going home to rest too, said Nian Xi.


    Hmm, Jiang Yuning opened the door, put a foot out of the car, then asked her another question, When can I clean your apartment?


    He didnt forget about that. Nian Xi found it both funny and annoying. She looked at his serious face, said to him, I dont want you to clean my apartment. She knew clearly that he was trying to create a chance to get close to her.


    Im good at cleaning, Jiang Yuning said disappointedly.


    But, I could use somepany for shopping, eating, and movies, Nian Xi continued with, Do you have time?


    What? Jiang Yuning blinked. It took him a while to react, Yeah-yeah.


    But Im working on the case recently. Well do those things when I have time, said Nian Xi, Oh, can you ask your colleagues about how carbon powders are normal used in colleges, except for making copies?


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head.


    Nian Xi exined to him, Duan Yang had carbon powder in his nails.

 Chapter 1169. Nian Xi Made My Hair Look so Good

    Chapter 1169. Nian Xi Made My Hair Look so Good


    Carbon Dust? Jiang Yuning furrowed his brows into a deep frown, said, I think someone talked to me about carbon dust a couple of days ago.


    Nian Xis eyes glowed. She walked to him, grabbed his cor and pulled him toward herself, saying, Think carefully. Who talked to you about it? Is it Duan Yang?


    Jiang Yuning gazed at her face. It was the first time he looked at her so closely. The light streetlight short into the car, brightened her face, left shadows under her long eyshes. Her glowing eyes were fixed on his face, so tempting, seemed to even swallow him.


    Looking at her in the eyes, Jiang Yunings brain went nk for a moment. His brain buzzed as he murmured, Your eyes are so beautiful.


    Only after hearing that did Nian Xi notice how close they were to each other. She blushed slightly, hurriedly pushed him away and said, Im asking you about carbon dust, but youre talking about something else. I know that I have pretty eyes. I dont need yourpliment.


    Jiang Yuning was a little disappointed, as the distance between him and her suddenly grewrger. I dont know if it was Duan Yang or not. A few days ago, someone asked me about the jet mill after ss. Thats a type of machine thats able to produce carbon dust. He said that the current size distribution isnt enough, so he asked me if he can use airpressor for further differentiation andpression.


    Jet mill, thats it, said Nian Xi excitedly, I heard that he was working on that project when I investigated into him. It must be him who asked you about that. Great! Jiang Yuning, you are amazing!


    She happily rumpled his hair, turned it into a mess, then said, I got to go. Bye.


    Em, Jiang Yuning got off the car confusedly, with messy hair.


    It was the first time he saw herughing so happily. He couldnt help but gently touch his own hair.


    Howe he liked her rumpling his hair so much?


    He curved his lips in a smile.


    When he got upstairs, Uncle Han saw his messy hair and got surprised. What happened to your hair?


    Jiang Yuning gave him a proud nce, then wroteNian Xi did it.


    Uncle Hans mouth corners twitched slightly when he read the note. Go take a shower and blow it out.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, then walked to the mirror, looked himself in it, smiled sweetly and said, Nian Xi made my hair look so good.


    Uncle Han felt very speechless.


    His hair did not look good, at all.


    Nian Xi might even be able to make you feelfortable by pping you on the face, thought Uncle Han.


    Before bed, Jiang Yuning asked Uncle Han for the charger of his phone.


    Is it running out of battery already? Uncle Han asked. His phone was fully charged earlier today before he left home.


    Jiang Yuning nced at the phone and said, Ny-five percent left. I want it fully charged, in case it died when Nian Xi invited me for dinner or a movie or something else.


    Uncle Han rested his forehead on a palm said, Dont worry. Your phone certainly wont turn off until tomorrow morning.


    That phone would stay on probably until the day after tomorrow. Besides, she wouldnt contact her during the night. She needed to sleep.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head determinedly, said, No. What if it does turn itself off?


    Uncle Han sighed. He had no choice but to let the boy do whatever he wanted. Jiang Yuning was willing to talk now. It was a good thing anyway.


    Nian Xi went home, checked her phone and found a WeChat message from Jiang YuningAre you home yet? Let me know when you got home.


    Nian Xi was a little surprised. She wasnt expecting him to be so caring.


    Im home, she replied.


    Jiang Yuning sent her another message within one secondGood. I had a great time having dinner together with you.

 Chapter 1170. Why Was His Hair Messy?

    Chapter 1170. Why Was His Hair Messy?


    Nian Xi thought for a moment, feeling that the atmosphere tonight was actually nice.


    She decided to reply to him withThank you for dinner.


    Jiang YuningYoure wee.


    The next day was Saturday. Nian Xi and Fang Qi went to walk, as always. In the morning, Nian Xi told Fang Qi about the carbon powder.


    I met Professor Jiang yesterday and asked him about it. He didnt say one word to me. Howe he told you? Fang Qiined.


    Is that the same thing? Youre a guy, Im a girl. Also, are you as pretty as I am? Said Nian Xi coldly.


    Fang Qi didnt know how to respond to that, so he said, Duan Yang had carbon powder under his nails. Its highly possible he was killed in theb, where he spent most of his time in. But Ive already done a search of theb. No carbon dust was found at all.


    It means the ce has been cleaned, Nian Xi made eye contact with him and then added, I think we need to visit theb again without colleagues from the technology department. Anyway, I think were now sure he was killed on campus. The murderer was probably working on the same project with Duan Yang.


    Fang Qi agreed. Atst, the two of them found four suspects. They were Yang Wenzhi, Zhao Yi, Wu Siyan, and Han Zheng, who was Duan Yangs tutor.


    The first three were all Han Zhengs students. Zhao Yi was the only one who was actually working with Duan Yang, but the other two had spent a lot of time in theb as well.


    Later that morning, they brought the people from the technology department to theb where Duan Yang had been working.


    Nian Xi carefully looked into every corner of theb, then found that the floor near the experiment table was especially clean.


    She immediately asked the technology department people to examine the area carefully. Soon, traces of blood were found in the area.


    Further tests were needed to determine the identity of the suspects.


    After that, Nian Xi found the murder weapon in theb. She focused on work, until the voice of Fan Chen, who came from the technology department, was heard, Im sorry, police officers are working here. You cante in. Did youe here to deliver food? To whom? Nian Xi?


    Hearing her name, Nian Xi crawled out from under the table and saw Jiang Yuning standing at the door. He was wearing a long, white coat with a blue shirt and a tie. He was well dressed but his hair was such a mess Why?


    His hair looked exactly like it wasst night when she said goodbye to him.


    Hes here for me, Nian Xi walked over.


    Fan Chen looked at Jiang Yuning with a weird expression, then turned to Nian Xi and whispered to her, Nian Xi, I didnt know you have a boyfriend. And I think he cant talk.


    He honestly felt sorry for Nian Xi. Nian Xi was known as the prettiest girl in the police station, and a lot of her colleagues liked her.


    Nian Xi was a little unhappy about that remark. Fan Chen was trying to say that Jiang Yuning was mute.


    He can talk, but he only talks to me, Nian Xi said to him, then walked up to Jiang Yuning and asked him, What are you doing here?


    Yesterday, you said you were too busy to have lunch. I dont want you to get hungry, Jiang Yuning blinked his innocent eyes and said.


    Nian Xi was stunned. That was just a casual remark; she didnt expect him to remember it.


    She recalled breaking up with Feng Ji Chuan because he sent her money via WeChat while she expected him to bring food to her.


    She paused briefly until she sensed warmth from her palms. Jiang Yuning put the lunchbox in her hands.


    Fang Qi came over and said jokingly, Professor Jiang, did you bring anything for me?


    Jiang Yuning gave him a nce, and said with confusion, You are so strange. Were not friends. Why would I bring you anything?

 Chapter 1171. It Was the First Time Someone Treasured Her Whole-heartedly

    Chapter 1171. It Was the First Time Someone Treasured Her Whole-heartedly


    Fang Qi honestly didnt know what to say.


    He didnt know him well?


    He was the one who encouraged Jiang Yuning to pursue her yesterday, and he was the one who told him that she didnt have a boyfriend. But now, he didnt know him well. That was so hurtful.


    Professor Jiang, this is not good. You didnt say that you dont know me well yesterday when you asked me questions about Nian Xi. Im Nian Xis colleague. If you want to pursue her, you might be able to learn a lot about her from me.


    Havent you heard that if you want to win a girls heart, you need to start from the people around her? he thought.


    Jiang Yuning, on hearing that, had his cheeks reddened. He quickly nced at Nian Xi, then stuttered, When when did I say that I want to pursue her?


    His voice grew lower and lower, as he felt so embarrassed.


    Nian Xi looked at him. He probably has the best skin among all men that Ive seen. Its always so obvious when he blushes, she thought.


    Fang Qi raised his eyebrows and said, Oh, so youre not pursuing her. Why did you bring food to her then?


    Because shes my friend, said Jiang Yuning awkwardly.


    Fang Qi nodded and said, Nian Xi, he said that hes only your friend.


    No Jiang Yuning became anxious. That was not good. What if Nian Xi thinks that he only wants to be her friend?


    Alright, dont you have work to do? Nian Xi couldnt bear watching that, Have you found the murder weapon yet?


    Fang Qi tittered, You dont want me to bully him, do you? Alright, Im going to look for the weapon.


    Finished talking, he turned and left.


    Thank you for the food, Nian Xi took over the food and said, Fang Xi likes to make jokes. Dont mind him.


    Jiang Yuning felt a little frustrated, as he felt that he had said something wrong.


    Xi


    Why is your hair so messy? Nian Xi interrupted him and said, Didnt you brush your hair this morning?


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then replied with, Messy? You styled my hairst night. I think its good.


    Nian Xi widened her mouth in shock, You didnt brush your hair again because I turned it into this yesterday?


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head, dragged a lock of his hair embarrassedly said, I like what you did with it. I didnt want to change it. I even slept carefullyst night.


    Nian Xi had such aplicated feeling when she heard that. She didnt know what to say.


    She was in a good moodst night, and she rubbed his hair on purpose. He didnt me her for that but kept that messy hair instead.


    How silly. Nian Xi honestly didnt know what to say about it. She even felt a hint of heartache.


    Before, she always treasured Feng Ji Chuan like he was the most important person in the world. It was the very first time someone treasured her whole-heartedly.


    Didnt he think about what other people might think when they saw him walking on the street with such messy hair?


    Nian Xi took out a hairbrush from her bag, said to him, Lower your head, let me brush your hair.


    Em, Jiang Yuning obediently bent over. Nian Xi could do whatever she likes to his hair.


    Nian Xi brushed his flyaway hair straight lock by lock. Jiang Yuning closed his eyes, feeling her gentle and soothing moves.


    If only she could always brush his hair for him.


    Nian Xi looked at his beautiful lips and long and thick eyshes. He seemed to be enjoying the hair-brushing, as much as how Jiang-jiang enjoyed her petting.


    He was much more handsome than Jiang-jiang, though.


    A person was certainly different from a dog.


    Having a dog could not save her from the loneliness of being single, after all.

 Chapter 1172. You Are Getting Sneakier and Sneakier Now. You Even Lied to Me

    Chapter 1172. You Are Getting Sneakier and Sneakier Now. You Even Lied to Me


    Its done. Feeling that more and more people were looking for her, Nian Xi finished brushing his hair and quickly put the hairbrush back into her purse.


    Already? Jiang Yuning said disappointedly. He wanted more of that.


    Or? Your hair is short, not like the hair of us girls. It wont take much time to brush your hair, Nian Xi sighed. Sometimes, she was jealous of boys for their short hair.


    Jiang Yuningnded his eyes on her face. Recalling how she brushed his hair, he said without thinking, You brushed my hair, so now Im gonna brush yours.


    While speaking, he reached toward her purse to take the hairbrush. Nian Xi hurriedly stopped him and said, Thank you, but not now. My hair is good.


    I think its not, Jiang Yuning blinked his watery eyes and said, Its a mess.


    Nian Xi took out her phone and used it as a mirror, looked at her own hair. Her hair was fine.


    With a smile, she gave Jiang Yuning a re and said to him, Its not. You are getting sneakier and sneakier now. You even lied to me.


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head embarrassedly. It was his first time lying, and she saw right through him.


    Alright, my colleagues are all working. I cant keep talking to you. I need to work. Thank you for lunch. I gotta go, Nian Xi waved at him.


    Will youe here tomorrow? Jiang Yuning asked anxiously.


    I dont know yet, said Nian Xi seriously, Dont alwayse here on ount of me. Do what you need to do. I have to solve this case as soon as possible. The murderer is hiding among you guys. He might havemitted murder for revenge, or because he has mental problems. If he has mental problems, he might hurt other people. You should be careful.


    Was she worried about him?


    Jiang Yuning was happy. Without thinking, he said, Coming here to see you, thats what I need to do.


    Nian Xi was stunned a little.


    He dropped his head, kicked the floor with the tip of his shoe, while continuing shyly in a low voice, Im not a child anymore. I need to find someone to share my life with.


    Nian Xi almost burst outughing. Could he be cuter? Am I that person? But, didnt you say that you arent pursuing me? She joked with him.


    I I Jiang Yuning immediately grew anxious.


    Seeing that he was almost sweating, Nian Xiughed, Alright, alright, I get it. I was joking. I have to go. Talk to me on WeChat if you have anything to say to me.


    After saying that, she turned and went back into theb.


    Jiang Yuning spent a short while watching her, then slowly left.


    While eating, Nian Xi began searching through theb for more weapons. Fang Xi came to her andughed, Oh, beef, chicken wings, yams, cherries, Professor Jiang is such a caring person.


    Would you like a chicken wing? Nian Xi handed him one.


    Fang Qi hurriedly shook his head and said, Professor Jiang prepared this exclusively for you. Based on what I know about you, I think youve decided to give him a chance, havent you? After all, you epted the food.


    He hadnt known Nian Xi for long, but he knew that she would not take advantage of others, especially guys. epting kindness from someone without thorough consideration would always make thingsplicated.


    Nian Xi thought for a moment and said, Hes crazy about me. Why wouldnt I give him a chance?


    You didnt want to be with him back when we were in Europe, did you? Fang Qi reminded her, I think hes a nice guy, but you have to be clear about your own feelings. Is it because youre lonely? It is because your families want you to get married? Do you just want a marriage partner? Or, do you like him because of who he is? You have to make it clear, or, it might be unfair for both of you.

 Chapter 1173. She Met Him again and Felt that He Was Still so Nice

    Chapter 1173. She Met Him again and Felt that He Was Still so Nice


    Im I that kind of person? Nian Xi rolled her eyes, said, I am rich, and I have a perfect body. Im one of those pretty rich girls who have snow-white skin, and always keep low profiles. Will someone like me get married merely for marriage?


    She wouldnt have broken up with Feng Ji Chuan if she was that kind of person.


    She admitted that she refused Jiang Yuning in France. First, it was because she was not yet over her failed rtionship with Feng Ji Chuan yet, and second, her families didnt want her to be with Jiang Yuning. She didnt want to make them worry. Besides, Jiang Yuning was in aplicated condition at that time.


    She regretted it slightly when she returned from Dance and saw the love letter in her suitcase.


    She regretted not giving him any chance, and not having the courage to give it a try.


    Later on, he disappeared, and she gradually forgot about those thoughts.


    Now, she met him again and felt that he was still so nice.


    It was not impossible for her to give it a shot.


    After all, they needed to spend some time together to find out if they were the perfect match for each other.


    Youre right, though, Fang Qi teased her, But, you dont have snow-white skin. You can be a ck pearl.


    Go away, Nian Xi even wanted to kick him.


    So annoying, she thought, Im not a ck pearl. I just got over-tanned in the summer. Ill turn white again.


    The next day, the report from the forensic department proved that the blood found in the floor tile seam did belong to Duan Yang.


    Nian Xi instantly summoned all four suspects and interrogated them.


    The day after that, while she and her teammates were having lunch in the canteen, Zhan Hongs voice was suddenly heard from behind Nian Xi, Can we sit here?


    Nian Xi turned to see Zhan Hong and Feng Ji Chuan stand behind her, both in uniforms, tall and strong, especially Feng Ji Chuan. He was a muscr man with dashing eyebrows.


    She stayed silent. Fan Yi, who was sitting beside her quickly nodded and responded with, Zhan, what are you talking about? Of course, you can sit here. Its not like we own the canteen.


    Zhan Hong nodded, sat down together with Feng Ji Chuan, thenughed and asked, What are you guys talking about?


    Fang Qi said, About the case that Director Chen gave Nian Xi and me. Its a murder happened in a university.


    I heard that its a quite difficult one, Feng Ji Chuan abruptly turned to Nian Xi and said, Do you need help?


    Thank you, but no, Nian Xi paused briefly with surprise, then said no ndly, Weve already found the suspects. I think well be able to solve it within this week.


    Oh, Zhan Hong raised his eyebrows and asked with curiosity, Whore the suspects?


    Fang Qi filled them in with the information about the case. both Nian Xi and I think that Zhao Yi is the most probable suspect. Duan Yang and Zhao Yi were working on the jet mill project together. I heard that Duan Yang nned to sell the project to apany, but Zhao Yi disagreed. They had a fight about that. Many other students from the school can prove that. Weve watched the surveince video. Zhao Yi walked into theb not long after Duan Yang went in. He had the time tomit the crime, and he doesnt have an alibi.


    Feng Jichuan thought for a second, then said, For some case, you cant be overconfident. Before the suspect pled guilty, everything can still be upturned.


    His tone of speaking made Nian Xi felt a little ufortable. She said, I admit that youre a capable man because youve solved some big cases, like the child abduction case and the drug-dealing case. However, weve handled more murder cases like this than you have.


    The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment. Feng Ji Chuan responded with a frown, Nian Xi, you are, indeed, a more experienced police officer than I am, but all the cases you solved before were small. Also, I heard that you guys havent even found that weapon yet.

 Chapter 1174. I Dont Want to Interrupt You and Professor Jiang

    Chapter 1174. I Don''t Want to Interrupt You and Professor Jiang


    How do you know we havent found the murder weapon? Nian Xi felt a little annoyed. Did you ask around about it? Its our case, isnt it? Were not even on the same team.


    I care about you, said Feng Ji Chuan, with aplicated tone of speaking. The victim is a Ph.D. student, a talented student from the department of physics. Only the smart ones are allowed in theb. I think you should be more cautious about the case.


    Thank you for your advice. I will. Nian Xi dropped her chopsticks, stood up and left.


    Cheng Jing hurriedly caught up with her and said, He was just saying. Why are you so angry?


    Nian Xi responded with, Im not angry. Im annoyed. I work on the case day and night. I spent so much time watching the surveince videos that my eyeballs are sore. Yet he lectured me like that, and he questioned my judgment. Does he really think hes the best at our station? Does he know about the case? Did he ever take part in our work?


    I think youre in a wrong mindset.


    Cheng Jing raised her brows and said honestly, Captain has said the same to you, and you ept it humbly. Howe you felt so ufortable hearing those words from Feng Ji Chuan? Nian Xi, to be honest, even though you guys broke up peacefully a long time ago, I still feel that youve been extra unfriendly to him. You two are colleagues. If his team and ours ever need to work together, your attitude is going to make things troublesome.


    Nian Xi was stunned.


    She realized Cheng Jing was right.


    Maybe Youre not over him yet. Is that right? Cheng Jing asked, You still care about him and what he said because you cant get over him.


    Nian Xi gave a start, said, Thats thats nonsense Maybe Im just feeling a little ufortable. Ive been a policewoman for years, but I feel that Im worse than him on everything. Behind my back, some always say that Im so picky that I even gave up on someone as outstanding as him. They say that I set my sights too high and that Im hard to get along with, or something like that. I just want to prove that I am outstanding too.


    Youre right.


    Cheng Jing nodded, said, After all, you and he were together. Its understandable that you might feel yourself under pressure. But if you stop thinking about that and start to think about what he said in a positive way, see him as a senior colleague, you might feel better. Hes a few years older than you and has served on the special force. He solved cases that others failed to solve and caught suspects others couldnt capture. Shouldnt we all learn from him? Dontpare yourself with him. Solving a case is easy, but capturing the suspects is not.


    Hearing that, Nian Xi fell into a long silence.


    There was truth in those words. Being unable to solve the case was better than arresting the wrong person while trying to prove her capabilities and get a promotion.


    Cheng Jing, thank you. Youre right. Im going back to go over the case again, Nian Xi said. Then she quickly walked back into her office.


    Workaholic. Cheng Jing shook her head and said, Hows she ever gonna get married?


    Nian Xi spent two days working on the case. She finally found a love letter in a textbook that belonged to Duan Yang.


    Fang Qi saw Nian Xi staring at the love letter every single time he walked past her office.


    Its just a love letter, he said. Duan Yang was a handsome guy. Its a normal thing for a pretty boy like him to have suitors. Zhao Yi is held in custody. You should spend more time interrogating him.


    I think whoever wrote this love letter has a problem. Nian Xi stood up and said, I think Im gonna make another trip to the school.


    Im not going with you. I dont want to interrupt you and Professor Jiang. Fang Qi curved his lips downward and said, Go. And say hi to him when you get there. Seriously, this job is driving you crazy. He might be expecting your call.

 Chapter 1175. Just Tell Me That Im Pretty

    Chapter 1175. Just Tell Me That I''m Pretty


    Nian Xi paused briefly with surprise, then felt that what he said might really happen.


    Last time, they talked about going for dinner and a movie together. That silly guy might look at his phone all day without the courage to actually message her.


    But before you go Fang Qi looked at her from head to toe discontentedly and said, Try to make yourself look better. You look really scruffy.


    Whats so wrong about my look? Scruffiness can be a different kind of beauty, Nian Xi snorted. Then she packed up her things and went downstairs.


    In the car, she looked at herself in the mirror. She had been working many extra hourstely and did look a little sallow.


    She hurriedly picked up her foundation, refined her makeup, and put on some lipstick.


    On her way, she texted Jiang Yuning to let him know that she would be at school soon.


    Im going to the school gate right nowHe replied right away.


    Nian Xi saw him standing before the gate in a white trench coat like a statue when she arrived. Under his white coat were a ck shirt and a dark blue tie. That normal outfit looked gorgeous on him. His snow-white, wless skin looked like colored ss, especially pleasing to the eye.


    He had no idea how appealing he looked and how many girls were standing around him. He seemed to bepletely absent-minded as if nothing in surroundings had anything to do with him.


    Nian Xi drove straight toward him. Jiang Yuning seemed to recognize her car. His eyes instantly lit up as he walked toward the car.


    Get in. Nian Xi waved at him. She liked it when he could see nobody but her.


    Jiang Yuning sat in the front seat. Nian Xi showed her police badge, then the guard let her in. Have you been here every daytely? she asked him.


    Im working on a project with Professor Han. Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and responded shyly, Also, Im waiting for you.


    His voice grew lower and lower. However, the music wasnt on, so Nian Xi heard him clearly.


    Im sorry. Ive been working a lottely. She felt a little guilty about this.


    Emm, I know Jiang Yuningnded his eyes on her face and said, You look pallid Not even the foundation on your face can cover that


    Nian Xi felt a little embarrassed. The extra foundation she put on did not escape his notice.


    And you have heavy, dark circles under your eyes Jiang Yuning continued with concern.


    Alright, stop. Nian Xi pulled over the car and said to him seriously and embarrassedly, Didnt you see that Im wearing makeup?


    Jiang Yuning blinked, didnt say anything, but abruptly leaned toward her.


    What are you doing? Nian Xi felt awkward under his gaze, so she hurriedly moved backward.


    Looking at your makeup. Jiang Yuning responded honestly, Youre wearing lipstick.


    Nian Xi even wanted to cry. It turned out that her foundation was wasted.


    Well, maybe, the foundation was too good. It was too natural to be seen.


    The color of your lipstick is nice. Jiang Yuning continued with somethingplimentary, I want to kiss those lipsHe didnt manage to finish thest part of thatpliment.


    Thank you. Nian Xi nodded. Just save those unnecessary words and tell me Im pretty.


    Alright. Jiang Yuning nodded without fully understanding her. She was the prettiest girl in his eyes anyway, even though she looked a little wan at the moment.


    But You need to get some rest. Isnt the case solved already?

 Chapter 1176. Officer Nian, Your Boyfriend is Pretty Bossy

    Chapter 1176. Officer Nian, Your Boyfriend is Pretty Bossy


    Says who? Nian Xi frowned slightly.


    I heard from someone at school. Rumor has it youve arrested a suspect.


    Jiang Yuning didnt remember the name of that person.


    Ah. Youre talking about Zhao Yi. Nian Xi figured it out.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and responded honestly, Im not sure. I only remember your name.


    Nian Xi smiled and said, He is suspicious indeed but hasnt confessed yet. If we cant find solid evidence, his family is gonna hire awyer and the case will go to court. He might be acquitted of a charge. Thats why I came here today to see Duan Yangs dorm.


    Im going with you. Jiang Yuning immediately raised his chin and puffed his chest out and said, I know where it is. Ill take you there.


    Nian Xi knew how easily he could get lost, but she didnt say no.


    They drove straight to the mens residence hall.


    Duan Yang lived in room 402 with three other students.


    Nian Xi walked to the room and knocked on the door. A whileter, a bare-chested guy opened the door and gasped.


    Hi Before Nian Xi could finish, Jiang Yuning abruptly stepped in front of her and blocked her sight with his body. He was frowning.


    What are you doing? Nian Xi was confused.


    Hes not wearing a shirt. Jiang Yuning furrowed his brows and said a little unhappily, You cant look at him.


    Nian Xi paused briefly. It was the first time he was being so bossy. Seeing the look on his face, she had an impulse tough.


    So old-school. She thought. Its just a young guy without a shirt on. Were not ancient people.


    The guy smiled and said, Officer Nian. Your boyfriends quite bossy.


    Hearing the young guy refer to him as Nian Xis boyfriend, Jiang Yuning sneakily gave a smile.


    Nian Xi didnt feel awkward. She had asked this student some questions earlier. He was Hu Hao, from the department of chemistry. Jiang Yuning was a guest professor from the department of physics, so it was normal that Hu Hao didnt know him.


    Its cold out. You should put on some clothes, or you might catch a cold.


    I was taking a shower. Hu Hao quickly got dressed. After that, Jiang Yuning stepped away from the door. But he still kept his eyes in the dorm in case another half-naked guy suddenly appeared.


    Are you here alone? Nian Xi walked in while looking around. Duan Yans bed had been stripped and all his personal belongings had been removed. The room was messy, though. The other beds were covered with dirty socks and underwear.


    Looking at the messy room, she frowned slightly. As a policewoman, she had seen a lot worse.


    Jiang Yuning frowned deeper than she did. He silently walked to the nearest bed and lifted the nket covering a pile of underwear on the bed.


    Were all single. Yeah. Our ce is a mess, Hu Hao exined embarrassedly.


    Nian Yuning turned to Nian Xi and whispered, Im single too, but Im clean and tidy.


    His voice was warm and nice. While speaking, he breathed on Nian Xis ear. That didnt make her feel itchy but did bring numbness to her entire body.


    She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then red at Jiang Yuning. How could he say something like that to her while she was working?


    Receiving that re from her, Jiang Yuning sadly turned around to look at a desk.


    Nian Xi saw his lips curving downward, looking so adorable.


    She adjusted herself before turning to Hu Hao and saying, Has Duan Yans family collected all his belongings?


    Yeah, said Hu Hao nodding. Its really sad. Howe hes suddenly gone? He and Zhao Yi never liked each other. They often argued about their studies.

 Chapter 1177. Why Was the Atmosphere so Weird at the Crime Scene?

    Chapter 1177. Why Was the Atmosphere so Weird at the Crime Scene?


    Nian Xi took out the love letter, unfolded it and then asked Hu Hao, Do you know who wrote Duan Yang this love letter? Did he receive any other letters like this?


    Hu Hao read the love letter carefully, then shook his head and said, Guys like us stay in theb every single day. Were nerds. We dont have romance on our mind, so not many people like us.


    Nian Xi was a little disappointed. Hu Hao scratched his cheek, said, This handwriting looks a little familiar. I think Ive seen it somewhere before.


    Think carefully.


    I dont remember. Hu Hao spent a short while thinking, then shrugged his shoulders and asked, Do you think the person who wrote this is the killer?


    No. I just dont want to overlook anything.


    Nian Xi left the dorm and headed toward theb.


    Jiang Yuning followed behind her.


    The two of them spent a while walking in the school. It was getting dark.


    Itste, Jiang Yuning said. Shall we have some dinner first?


    Nian Xi looked at the time. It was six pm already. But theb was right in front of them.


    I think Ill take a look at theb first. You can start thinking about what to have for dinner.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning immediately started to think carefully about it.


    For him, taking Nian Xi to dinner was a very big deal. He wanted to guarantee a happy meal for her.


    Soon they walked into Duan Yangsb. Nian Xi checked every corner of theb. Jiang Yuning silently watched her climb onto the chairs and crawl under the tables. He felt a little sorry for her. She was a girl, yet she had to work so hard.


    Mr. Jiang, you are also a physicist who spends a lot of time in theb. Can you tell me whats missing in thisb? Nian Xi checked theb, then sat down on the desk before Jiang Yuning and conveniently took out a banana from her bag and started peeling it.


    Why do you have a banana in your bag? Jiang Yuning looked at her with a weird expression.


    Sometimes I work veryte. I put it in my bag in case I get hungry. Nian Xi teasingly put the banana before his face and said, Are you hungry?


    Jiang Yuning looked at the tempting banana. He was hungry indeed. He ate a lot of vegetables at every meal. Normally he would have had dinner long ago.


    That wasnt important. The important thing is that the banana was held in Nian Xis hand.


    Are you going to feed me? he asked, blushing.


    Nian Xiughed. Im luring you. Never mind. Youve kept mepany for such a long time, so I decided to share the banana with you. But you should think carefully about the question I just asked you.


    Jiang Yuning took half the banana from her hand, frowned and said, Xi


    Is anything amiss? Seeing the weird look on his face, Nian Xi immediately popped her eyes.


    Can you please stop calling me Mr. Jiang? Jiang Yuning said with a muffled voice. You can call me Ning.


    Nian Xi found his words both funny and annoying. Im talking to you about the case. Ning? Thats too intimate.


    I like it. Jiang Yuning dropped his eyelids, curved his delicate lips in a faint smile.


    Eh-hem. Nian Xi coughed and wondered why the atmosphere at the crime scene was so weird. Answer my question first, she said.


    I didnt discover


    Nian Xi buried her face in her palm. She really shouldnt have asked that silly man about it.


    Jiang Yuning exined in a low voice, This is a physicsb indeed, but I havent been in such a simple and low-levelb for years after college.


    Nian Xi felt her mouth corners twitching. She was impressed.


    But I didnt see the registration book, said Jiang Yuning. When I was in college, I shared ab with my ssmates. There was always a registration book in theb.


    What registration book? Nian Xi instantly asked.

 Chapter 1178. I Can Be Your Little Wolfdog to Protect You

    Chapter 1178. I Can Be Your Little Wolfdog to Protect You


    Its a form. We needed to fill in the time we came to theb, the names of the projects we worked on and the materials wed be using. Jiang Yuning tilted his head to think. I didnt see the registration book in thisb.


    Are you sure theres always a registration book in eachb? Nian Xi was surprised. She had never seen one before and was sure none of her colleagues had taken a book like that from theb.


    The police checked the surveince videos and queried the people from theb to find out who had been there on the day of the murder.


    Jiang Yuning nodded affirmatively and said, Even I need to register my name when entering thebs in this school, not to mention the students. There was a registration book in the dorm we visited just now. Thisboratory building is much more strictly managed than the dorm.


    It was the first time Nian Xi had heard him speak so many words in one breath. Every word he said reminded her of what she missed, like a bomb.


    Youre right. But theres a surveince camera at the door. From the surveince videos, we can learn who came into theb and when they came. Why was the registration book removed? Did the murderer take it? Is it just missing? Lets go. I have some questions for the person responsible for thisb.


    Xi, did I just help you? Jiang Yuning asked.


    Of course. You helped me twice. Every time you showed me a new way when there was a dead end. Youre awesome. After saying that, Nian Xi found him bent over, his head lowered.


    What are you doing? she asked.


    Waiting for you to rub my hair, Jiang Yuning said expectantly and shyly, raising his eyes.


    Youre not a dog. Nian Xi paused briefly with a surprised look on her face, then burst outughing.


    Jiang Yuning pressed his lips together, then thought for a moment and said, I can be your little wolfdog to protect you.


    You? Little wolfdog? Nian Xiughed. Youre more like a puppy.


    Jiang Yuning furrowed his eyebrows. He didnt know what kind of dog a puppy was. Whatever. As long as you like it.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. He used to feel shy, but now he had be thick-skinned.


    Jiang Yuning, do you have self-esteem?


    I mean it. Jiang Yuning disappointedly dropped his head and finished the rest of his banana. While chewing, he looked at her with a grievance.


    Nian Xis heart melted.


    Oh my. Hes so much cuter than my Jiang-jiang. She thought to herself.


    After finishing the banana, he said, Xi, your banana was delicious.


    His voice was so soft and sweet. Hearing that voice, Nian Xi even wanted to rush straight to the market to buy him more bananas.


    How can he be so cute!


    She had always considered herself a strong, cold-hearted girl, but now she was all softened by him.


    She didnt dare to spend more time talking to him. Instead, she immediately asked theb manager about the registration book.


    Oh. The registration book. Yeah. There is one, said the manager. Isnt it in theb? We never took it out. Maybe you should ask the others from theb about it.


    Is this the registration book for the building? Can I look at it? Nian Xi saw a book on the managers desk. She had an idea.


    Sure. The manager handed her the book.


    Nian Xi, what are you looking for? Jiang Yuning was confused.


    Handwriting, said Nian Xi. Earlier, Hu Hao said that the handwriting of the love letter was a little familiar to him, but he didnt know about the love letter. It could mean that the person who wrote the love letter was close to Duan Yang. If Im right, I might be able to find the same handwriting in this registration book.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned slightly. He looked at her profile and found her so charming while concentrating on the work.


    She wasnt like the female scientists he met in thebs. She was brave, persistent, fearless. He remembered her squatting on the ground and crying out loud when he first met her. Back then, he felt so helpless.

 Chapter 1179. This Was Only Her First Case, But She Was Going to Die Already

    Chapter 1179. This Was Only Her First Case, But She Was Going to Die Already


    She was the most dashing girl hed ever seen.


    And she was so pretty and charming, too.


    Officer Nian and Professor Jiang, what are you doing here? Yang Wenzhi walked into the building and said, Are you still working on the case? Isnt Zhao Yi the murderer?


    Before Nian Xi could answer, theb manager responded to him with, Theyre looking for the registration book in yourb. Arent you from the sameb as Duan Yang? Wheres your registration book?


    The registration book? Oh, said Yan Wenzhi with a weird look in his eyes. Yeah, its in our currentb.


    Why didnt you mention it to me before? Nian Xu knitted her eyebrows, unwittingly showing a serious look in her eyes.


    Im not a policeman. I didnt know you needed it. Yan Wenzhi gave a bitter smile and said, Also, weve forgotten about it. Ever since Duan Yang died, youve visited theb almost every day. We arent allowed to use theb anymore, so the school arranged for the three of us to work in anotherb. We brought the registration book there. We have to keep a daily record.


    Alright, take us to get it. Nian Xi handed the book in her hand to theb manager.


    Its on the top floor. Yang Wenzhi guided Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning toward the elevator.


    The building was almost empty at night. Their footsteps echoed through the hallway.


    While walking, Nian Xi was thinking about the handwriting she had just noticed in the registration book. A few characters looked just like the characters in the love letter.


    Officer Nian, this is theb. Yang Wenzhi opened the door with a key.


    Theb was small, but a fewrge devices were set in there. The curtains were drawn. Nian Xi walked in and took a quick look around the room.


    Here. Yang Wenzhi strode to a table and took out a notebook from a drawer.


    Nian Xi hurriedly took the book and opened it. The first thing she saw was the entry Duan Yang made on the day he died. ording to that entry, Duan Yang did an experiment after Zhao Yi left, meaning he was still alive at that time.


    The next person who signed in was Yang Wenzhi.


    But why did Yang Wenzhis handwriting look so simr to the handwriting of the love letter?


    Did Yang Wenzhi write Duan Yang the love letter?


    Why hadnt she heard about this before?


    Crap


    As soon as that word popped into Nian Xis mind, the lights went off.


    The curtains were still drawn, so theb was in total darkness.


    Move! Nian Xi automatically grabbed Jiang Yuning and rushed to the door.


    Be careful!


    She only managed to take a few steps before someone pounced on her and pressed her down. She felt as if she had fallen on a chair together with that person and that her head had hit something. The person underneath her seemed to have suffered more. He let out a muffled moan. All at once a loud noise was heard from where she and Jiang Yuning had been standing. Arge device seemed to have crashed to the floor.


    Then a stream of fire broke out. Within seconds, the tables were in mes and the door was sealed. Through the mes, Nian Xi saw Yang Wenzhi close the door swiftly. He had a perky smile on his face.


    Da*n you! Nian Xi clenched her teeth.


    All she could do at that moment was drag Jiang Yuning to the window.


    Oh no! It was sealed from the outside by an anti-burr screen.


    Looking at the fireing quickly at her and Jiang Yuning, Nian Xi felt despair.


    This was only her first case. Was she about to die?

 Chapter 1180. Nian Xi Jumped onto His Back

    Chapter 1180. Nian Xi Jumped onto His Back


    Even if there was no anti-burr screen, they still wouldnt be able to jump out the window. Theb was on the ninth floor. They would die for sure if they jumped.


    Sadly, she turned to Jiang Yuning, who was next to her. The fire added a red glow to his beautiful face. He was such an outstanding guyand one of the top scientists in the country. And he about to die in that smallb, because of her.


    Had she known this would happen, she would never have be friends with him.


    Im so sorry for dragging you into this, Nian Xi said with a trembling voice, holding his hands tightly.


    Move! Jiang Yuning pushed her away with a serious look, then took out a lighter-like thing from his pocket. With that small tool, he cut open the anti-burr screen in a few seconds.


    Then he unstrapped his belt, tied one end of it on the anti-burr window and pulled out a very thin thread from the belt. He tied the thread on his waist, then turned and said to Nian Xi, Lie on my back. Well go down slowly.


    Nian Xi was astounded. With, with this thread?


    This is nanometer wire. Jiang Yuning wrapped the wire around himself and then said to her, Button up your shirt.


    Under that circumstance, Nian Xi had no choice but to follow every word the scientist said.


    She found it interesting. Normally, he always followed her instructions, but when he gave his orders, she automatically listened to him.


    While she was buttoning up her shirt, Jiang Yuning took out a bottle of liquid and sprayed it on his back. Then, he said to her anxiously, Come on, get on my back.


    Nian Xi had no time to think. She jumped onto his back and found herself sticking to him.


    What did you put on your back?


    The superglue I invented. Not even a truck can separate us now, Jiang Yuning said while crawling out the window.


    Suddenly the curtain caught fire. Nian Xi was hanging outside the window. She had received all kinds of training when she was in school, but at the moment, there was no safety gear on her at all. She was even shaking with fear.


    Hurry hurry up, your spider thread is on fire.


    Its nanometer wire, not spider thread.  Jiang Yuning corrected her seriously.


    Nian Xi almost copsed. This isnt the time to argue over that. Just get me down.


    Jiang Yuning held the wire, stepped on the wall, moved slowly downward.


    The fire cant break it. Its fireproof and waterproof.


    Im impressed. If I survive this, youve got to get me some of that thread. Nian Xi held his neck tightly.


    Jiang Yunings face had reddened entirely. The wire wrapped on one of his hands. It was super thin and his hand started bleeding once he moved a slight distance downward.


    Your hand Nian Xi saw his blood. She clearly understood that the wire would certainly break his skin, as it needed to hold the weight of two adults.


    His waist must be in severe pain too.


    Suddenly, she figured out why he tied the wire on himself but used the superglue on her. He didnt want her to get hurt.


    She felt soplicated at that moment. She realized how shallow she was before. She always wanted a tall and strong boyfriend, and never liked the slim ones like Jiang Yuning. She admired him but didnt want a boyfriend like him.


    But now, she discovered that he was so much stronger than she thought.


    He didnt have strong muscles, yet he once defeated a sturdy guy in the police station very easily. And now he had saved her from the fire on the ninth floor.

 Chapter 1181. Your Waist Will be Exposed

    Chapter 1181. Your Waist Will be Exposed


    He was more outstanding than most.


    Nian Xi med herself for not realizing that earlier. She looked at his face that was red under the fires glow and for the first time understood that he had always been her most stalwart supporter.


    Finally, theynded on the ground. Jiao Yuning stumbled to steady himself. Sweat was streaming down his forehead; his hands were covered in blood.


    Let me see your hands, said Nian Xi. Then she immediately cradled them in hers.


    Jiang Yuning pulled his hands away, then took off his coat to separate himself from Nian Xi.


    Go, go and catch him, he said, gasping for breath.


    Be careful! Nian Xi was worried sick about him. But letting Yang Wenzhi escape would be worse. Call the police! Call the fire department! she shouted.


    Then she darted to the gate of the building.


    It would take Yang Wenzhi a while to get from the ninth floor. She and Jiang Yuning had made a quick escape though so she might still be able to catch him.


    While running, she threw off her coat, which was sticking to Jiang Yunings coat. By the time she got to the gate, Yang Wenzhi was running out of the building shouting, Fire! Help!


    Seeing Nian Xi from the other side, his eyes popped out of his head in disbelief, as if he had just seen a ghost.


    Freeze! You b*stard! Nian Xi ran to him and flung him to the ground with a quick kick, then swiftly put handcuffs on him.


    At that moment, the fire had caught the attention of numerous students and teachers in the school.


    Theb manager ran out of the building. Seeing what was happening, he stammered, O-officer Nian, why are you didnt he say that you and Professor Jiang were trapped in the building? I just called the fire department to rescue you guys.


    Nian Xi pped Yang Wenzhis head and said, This b*stard wants to kill us. He killed Duan Yang!


    I didnt! Yang Wenzhi screamed, Officer Nian, the fire in theb was an ident! What does it have to do with me? I tried to save you! But I couldnt!


    You think youre so smart? Then Nian Xi said through clenched teeth, Tell that to the judge. You not only murdered someone but also attempted to murder a police officer. Youll be spending the rest of your life in jail.


    While speaking, she called Fang Qi, Take your guy! I just caught the real murderer.


    Shortly after ending the call, Jiang Yuning came over to her, wearing only a shirt. His gorgeous face was ghastly pale. Both his hands were covered in blood. With each step he took, a few drops of blood dripped to the ground. It was scary. But his eyes were still clear, reflecting the light beautifully.


    Nian Xis breath became shallow and uneven. She cuffed Yang Wenzhi on the guardrail nearby, then quickly strode toward Jiang Yuning.


    Xi, he said.


    What are you doing? Why dont you wrap up your hands? said Nian Xi. While speaking, she tore off a piece of her shirt. She had taken off her coat earlier, so at the moment she was wearing only a shirt too.


    She ripped through the cloth to make a makeshift bandage, exposing her slim waist.


    No. Jiang Yuning quickly stopped her. His face was flushed.


    Nian Xi didnt understand. He stuttered to exin, Your, your waist will be exposed.


    After saying that, he shot a quick look at her waist.


    Nian Xi didnt know if she shouldugh or cry. Your injury is more urgent, she said.


    No. Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, Tear off a piece of my shirt.


    Nian Xi had no choice but to tear off the lower part of his shirt to wrap his hands to stop the bleeding.

 Chapter 1182. Did Nian Xi Hug Him?

    Chapter 1182. Did Nian Xi Hug Him?


    She hadnt checked his wounds carefully earlier. Now that she took a closer look at his hands, she saw that thosecerations were bone-deep.


    Her heart twitched slightly. She didnt know how he managed to do that.


    Though he seemed weak, it turned out he had great tolerance.


    His hands were badly injured. What about his body?


    With that thought, Nian Xi lifted his shirt without thinking.


    Xi, what are you doing? Jiang Yuning was startled.


    Dont move. Nian Xi bent over to check his upper body. His white skin was covered with thin, bleeding wounds. He was wearing clothes when he wrapped the wire around himself, so his body wasnt injured as badly as his bare hands were. But still, the wire caused some wounds on his back. Apart from that, some bruises andcerations were seen.


    You got these injuries when you pushed me away from the falling device and let me fall on you, right? she asked. Nian Xi reyed the scene in her mind. In the darkness, he pushed her away. She felt a sharp pain. He was underneath her, so he must have suffered more. Nian Xi almost forgot about that when the fire broke out.


    Emm, I think so, murmured Jiang Yuning, scratching his head.


    Nian Xi looked at him, choking on her words. You were hurt, but you still carried me. Dont you feel any pain?


    While making their way to the ground, she was clinging to shoulders so tightly she was afraid she might fall.


    She had no idea that every movement she made probably made his wounds hurt even more.


    I forgot. Jiang Yuning looked into her eyes and said sincerely in a low voice, All I thought about was getting you out of the building. I couldnt let anything happen to you.


    Jiang Yuning, youre an idiot. Nian Xi suddenly hugged him, then said sincerely, Thank you.


    Youre my hero, she thought to herself.


    When she was a little girl, she loved watching superhero movies like Iron Man and Spider-Man together with Nian Junting. Now she felt as if she had met her own superhero.


    Jiang Yuning was taken by surprise by her remark. He gasped quickly, his cheeks burning.


    It felt like a dream.


    Nian Xis chest was so soft.


    Xi A short whileter, he murmured, How much longer are you going to keep your hands on my chest?


    Being reminded by him, Nian Xi realized that her hands were still on his chest.


    She raised her head, saw his pale face turn slightly red. She found him so cute, so she gently pinched his nipples and said, As long as I want.


    Jiang Yuning trembled slightly. He felt as if electric currents were running through his body, gathering in his lower abdomen.


    Xi, I feel ufortable, he said.


    Alright. I know you do. The ambnce is on its way. Youll soon be in the hospital, Nian Xi said pulling down his shirt.


    Jiang Yuning pressed his lips together. He wanted to tell her that it wasnt his wounds that were making him feel ufortable. It was the area she identally touched when she first met him. The firetruck finally arrived, so he didnt mention that to Nian Xi.


    Then the ambnce arrived. No one was trapped in the building, making Jiang Yuning the only injured person so far. Nian Xi told him to go to the hospital without her because she had to stay at the crime scene with the suspect and wait for her colleagues to arrive.


    I dont want to go. I want to stay here with you. Jiang Yuning stood his ground.


    No. You have to go, Nian Xi said to him seriously. If your hands get disabled, Ill have no one to clean my apartment in the future.

 Chapter 1183. Are You Okay? Are You Still the Nian Xi I Know?

    Chapter 1183. Are You Okay? Are You Still the Nian Xi I Know?


    Jiang Yunings eyes were glowing. He was so excited his lips were shaking. Did you just agree to let me clean your apartment? he asked.


    Nian Xi was amused and annoyed by his question. Is this the right time to be talking about that?


    Yes, said Jiang Yuning, nodding emphatically.


    Nian Xi didnt answer. But she was deeply moved. No one had ever cared about her so much. Even with his injuries, he was more worried about her than himself. You can clean my apartment when your injuries are healed. Ille to see you at the hospital.


    I Ill be waiting for you. Jiang Yuning finally got into the ambnce.


    Whaat? The medical workers had seen many injured or ill people before and had even witnessed people saying their final goodbyes. But this was the very first time they heard people making cleaning arrangements before getting into the ambnce. Also, theyd never seen such a gorgeous guy talk so eagerly about cleaning someone elses apartment. Now that was a head-scratcher!


    About ten minutes after the ambnce left, Fang Qi and his colleagues showed up. Looking at the burning building, Fang Qi asked Nian Xi, What the hells going on here? You told me you found the real murderer. Isnt Zhao Yi the murderer?


    Officer Fang, help! wailed Yang Wenzhi, who was still cuffed near the building. Then he yelled nervously, Theb caught fire. Officer Nian thought I was trying to kill her. Thats crazy!


    Shut up.


    He was still lying. Nian Xu rushed over and gave him a few heavy ps right on the face. Then she said, Scum! You think I didnt see your wicked little smile before you locked me in theb? If Professor Jiang hadnt been there, Id have died in the fire. Youre so young but so evil. You nned to kill me and make it look like an ident, huh? Im telling you, I still have the registration book.


    Yang Wenzhis expression froze.


    Nian Xi threw the registration book at Fang Qi and said, Zhao Yis innocent. Its written clearly that after he left, Duan Yang did an experiment and used a bottle of liquid medicine in theb. Look. This is Duan Yangs handwriting. After that, Yang Wenzhi went into theb. Hes the one who wrote Yang Wenzhi that love letter. Hes gay.


    Yang Wenzhi smiled coldly and said, Ill never confess. You have nothing on me! Theres not enough evidence from that registration book to prove Im the murderer or wrote that love letter. The fire was an ident. We were doing experiments about the quantum engine. Electricity was everywhere in theb. You guys identally hit the device when you were in there. Thats what caused the fire. Not me. You may be the police. But you cant frame me.


    Nian Xi was so angry she wanted to kill him. She had seen many shameless criminals, but none as shameless as he was. Thats ridiculous, she said.


    Ignoring Yang Wenzhi, she walked over to Fang Qi and said, I dont think well get a confession out of him. Take him back to the station and start the interrogation.


    Sighing, Fang Qi said, Feng Ji Chuan was right about one thing. The murderers smart. This is gonna be a problem. Youing?


    She shook her head no and said, Jiang Yuning got hurt saving me. I need to go to the hospital to how hes doing.


    Nian Xi then added, I cant believe Im still alive. Jiang Yunings amazing. You dont know that Eh, you wouldnt understand. We ordinary people just cant fathom the world of geniuses. Tonight I feel like Detective Conan in Case Closed, the Japanese Manga series.


    Fang Qi extended his hand, touched her forehead and said ironically, Um, are you feeling okay? Do you have a fever? Are you still the same Nian Xi Ive always known?

 Chapter 1184. Brother, I Miss You

    Chapter 1184. Brother, I Miss You


    Nian Xi pped away his hand and said, You have no idea what Ive been through. I thought I was going to die. And the weird thing is that at that moment, I suddenly felt that my mean brother was pretty nice. Im gonna call him and see how hes doing.


    Fang Qi was a little puzzled but wisely kept his mouth shut.


    Nian Xi walked to the side to call Nian Junting.


    What? Nian Juntings icy voice heard from the other side of the phone ruined the warm atmosphere Nian Xi just created. She spent a short while organizing hernguage before saying, Brother, I miss you. I suddenly realized that I like you, as my brother.


    Nian Junting was silent for a few seconds before responding in an even icier voice, Are you ill? Iming to get you. Ill take you to the hospital.


    How Nian Xi regretted making that call!


    Sorry, wrong number. Bye. She ended the call.


    On the other end of the phone, Luosang looked at a stunned Nian Junting and asked, What did Nian Xi say to? Whats going on? Why do you look so surprised?


    Nothing. Nian Junting put some rice into his mouth. Soon after that, he added, I think her brain isnt working well. I cant believe she said that she misses me, that Im a good brother and that she likes me.


    Luosang was stunned to hear that. Whats up with her? Are you sure thats what she said? What did you say back?


    Nian Junting gave her a look and said, Do I need to? Those were her exact words.


    He did add something, though, that she had emphasized certain words during their brief conversation.


    Luosang furrowed her brows slightly, then rolled her eyes and said, She said such touching things to you, yet your response was to offer to drive her to the hospital? Think about it. A girl suddenly realizes that someone like you is nice and that she misses you. Why? Shes probably very upset, or she might have just gone through something life-threatening or dangerous that made her feel everything in the world is beautiful. She might feel that pigs are pretty and poop smells nice


    At first, Nian Junting was quite nervous, but atst, he couldnt bear listening to her. He made a long face, dropped his chopsticks, and said, Run that by me again.


    Not now. I have to change Apple. Call Nian Xi back and ask her whats going on. Luosang quickly finished her soup and sneaked away.


    Nian Junting carefully pondered his wifes words. He felt she was probably right.


    Strange things always happen for a reason. Earlier he heard from Feng Ji Chuan that Nian xi was working on a campus murder case. Maybe something did happen to her.


    With a heavy heart, he called his sister back.


    What?


    Ive been thinking about you said, and I shouldnt have responded the way I did. He took a deep breath and continued, You are never smart. Ive often wondered if you were my sister. But after all, you are my little sister. I miss you too. I wish you a happy life.


    Wish you a happy life? Why didnt he say, I hope you stay safe?


    Hearing that, Nian Xi felt her eye corners twitch. What he said at first made her want to kill him, but then


    Brother, stop. I feel sick,


    Nian Junting fell silent.


    He realized hed just done something wacky. He was right.: He shouldnt be nice to his little sister at all.


    Bye. Nian Xi ended the call.


    Nian Justing rubbed his temples. He would never say something so nice to Nian Xi again. Ever.

 Chapter 1185. Youre Here

    Chapter 1185. You''re Here


    Nian Xi stayed at the crime scene until the fire was extinguished.


    The fire burned fivebs, a severe loss to the school.


    The president came over and announced bitterly, It cost us a lot to purchase the devices and materials in thosebs. Weve lost at least a million.


    The fire chief exined, Many of those materials were mmable, as well as some electrical wires in thebs. The electric current was strong. ording to our preliminary investigation, a device fell on the ground and caused a strong electric current that caused the mmable materials to go up in mes. The current was at least ten-thousand volts. Normal fire extinguishers couldnt possibly put out that fire. Whoever was trapped in theb would have died unless he got out within three minutes.


    When Nian Xi heard that, she broke out in a cold sweat. Once again, she thanked her lucky stars for deciding to bring Jiang Yuning with her.


    The president nodded and said, Yes, there were indeed some electric wires in thosebs. But for safety reasons, we required our students to cut the power before leaving. Nothing like this ever happened


    While speaking, he nced at Nian Xi in aplicated way.


    What? Dont you believe what I told you? Nian Xi was annoyed. I know nothing about the things in thatb. How could someone with no relevant knowledge cause a big fire like that? Besides, Professor Jiang was with me. Cant he tell what theb was for? I cant believe that you bought Yang Wenzhis story.


    The president sighed. The fire chief said, I think an arsonist set the fire. When our people got in the building, the device shelf was lying on the floor, exactly as what Officer Nian described. I hope you can find more evidence to prove what the murderer has done.


    Thank you.


    Nian Xi finished her work, then headed straight to the hospital.


    When she got in the car, she realized she was wearing just a shirt, no coat. She was too pumped up to realize that earlier, but now she was shivering.


    She sneezed, then recalled that Jiang Yuning had lost his coat too.


    So, she bought two coats on her way to the hospital.


    There she called Jiang Yuning and learned he was having a transfusion.


    When she entered his room she saw a couple of beds. He was lying on the one near the window with half his sleeve rolled up, his arms wrapped in gauze. A white quilt covered him. White light poured on his head, making him look so weak but oh so beautiful.


    He looked like the fragile china doll she used to y with when she was little. All it took was a bit of carelessness and the doll would shatter.


    His eyes were closed. Hearing her footsteps, he abruptly opened those eyes. Seeing Nian Xi standing by the side of the bed made him break out in a happy smile.


    Youre here.


    How did you know it was me? Nian Xi was surprised.


    Your footsteps. Jiang Yuning upturned his lip corners in a proud smile. He smiled like a child. You always walk fast.


    Nian Xi was enlightened. She nced at the nightstand and found nothing on it. Not even a bottle of water. She felt slightly sorry for him. Had he been lying here all alone for the past hour?


    Why are you here alone? Isnt Uncle Han always with you?


    Jiang Yuning slightly moved his lips. He hesitated briefly, then told her the truth, I called him and told him what happened. Uncle Han said that hes noting here because you are. If he came here to look after me, you wouldnt be responsible for me.


    Nian Xi didnt know how to respond to that. She seriously admired Uncle Hans thoughtfulness. At the same time, she wondered how he could be so heartless to his delicate and adorable Mr. Jiang.

 Chapter 1186. Are You Going to Pursue Me?

    Chapter 1186. Are You Going to Pursue Me?


    Arent you afraid I might leave after you told me the truth? Nian Xi struggled not tough while asking him, Anyway, Uncle Han will be here once I leave.


    Jiang Yuning raised his head and said, You wouldnt be so cruel. His ck eyes focused on her face.


    After saying that, he intentionally, or not, blinked his watery eyes. He looked so pure and kind, like an innocent boy.


    Nian Xi gave a long sigh. He was so good at using his pitiful face. She always became defenseless.


    Also I got injured because of you, Jiang Yuning added in a weak voice.


    Raising her brows, Nian Xi said, Youre being sneaky now. Are you gonna ask me to be responsible for you next?


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then murmured, Im not that kind of person. Two people need to like each other to be together. I want you to like me. If you dont like me, it would be meaningless to force you to be with me by using what Ive done for you. You wont be happy. If youre not happy, Im not happy. I want you to be happy. Im happy if youre happy.


    Nian Xi was a little confused. Well, what a scientist, she thought. Hes either silent or saying confusing things.


    What he said did touch her soul, though.


    Some people wanted to be with someone they liked selfishly, without caring if they would be happy or not.


    If.I fell in love with someone else, would you set me free to make me happy? she asked him.


    Jiang Yuning frowned slightly. His eyes showed slight sadness. Didnt I do that already? he said.


    Nian Xi suddenly recalled what happened in France. She was stunned.


    I thought I thought you got back together with your ex-boyfriend, Jiang Yuning said honestly in a sad voice. You said you couldnt forget him, so I gave up. But then I learned that you were lying to me. Since youre single, I want to stay with you. Im good. Im quiet. If you met someone you like, I Id leave


    Stop it. Nian Xis heart even ached. If she pretended as if nothing happened when hearing someone say something like that to her, she would be heartless.


    Jiang Yuning, listen to me. Nian Xi breathed deeply and said, You dont need to put yourself in such a low ce. You are an outstanding scientist. You are wonderful. You are capable, and you have brought honor to your country. You easily got me out of the building when the fire broke out on the ninth floor. You are so much better than the others. You should be pursued by women. Do you know that?


    Jiang Yuning was astounded to hear that. Was he such a great guy in her eyes? After a long silence, he finally got his voice back.


    It wasnt easy to bring you down from the ninth floor. It was exhausting.


    Nian Xi honestly didnt know what to say.


    Was that the only thing that popped into his mind after she said so much to him?


    And Are you going to pursue me? Jiang Yuning asked expectantly.


    Nian Xi stuttered, Eh thats not what I meant


    How was she supposed to pursue him? She had never done that before.


    If you pursued me, Id say yes right away. Jiang Yuning dropped his head, smiling shyly.


    Nian Xi considered herself a thick-skinned person, yet at the moment her face was bright red.


    She was cold earlier, but why was she feeling so hot now?


    She coughed slightly and hurriedly changed the topic. Let me see your wounds.

 Chapter 1187. Dont You Think Every Part of Me Is Pretty?

    Chapter 1187. Don''t You Think Every Part of Me Is Pretty?


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head to look at himself. Slowly, he undid his shirt buttons. His ears were turning red.


    It was supposed to be a simple movement, yet he made it quite seductive, especially when he pulled his shirt off his shoulder bit by bit as if he was forced to strip.


    There were other people in the room. Nian Xi felt as if her cheeks were burning. She couldnt help but say to him, Do it quickly. Dont be so shy. Its not as if Ive never seen your body.


    Jiang Yuning curved his lips downward and said, I wasnt injured when you saw my body. I was good-looking back then. Now Im injured and ugly.


    Nian Xis mouth corners twitched slightly. She didnt respond to him but ripped open his shirt.


    The other people in the room immediately started whispering to each other. A middle-aged woman on the bed next to Jiang Yuning said to her daughter in a low voice, Some young girls are bold nowadays. Look at her. She took off that boys cloth.


    As a police officer, Nian Xi had very good hearing. She heard the woman, turned and retorted, Lady, when we met a beautiful guy, we should, of course, take off his clothes directly. It might take ages for him to do it himself.


    The middle-aged woman and her daughter had never seen such an outspoken girl. They were both stunned to hear what Nian Xi said.


    Nian Xi turned around. Jiang Yuning seemed to be dumbfounded too.


    Nian Xi knew what he was thinking. She whispered to him, Dont say anything. I said that to them on purpose.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning was disappointed. I thought you felt that way. I was going to tell you that if you want to see my body, you dont have to use violence. You can take off my clothes if you want. I wont resist.


    I know, Nian Xi snorted. But asionally, proper struggling can make the atmosphere better.


    Jiang Yuning was confused. He didnt understand it.


    Nian Xi didnt continue the topic but lowered her head to check his wounds, which were stitched and dressed.


    It hurt getting stitches, didnt it? Nian Xis heart twitched slightly. He seemed so weak. Those wounds must have brought him severe pain.


    Its alright, Jiang Yuning said honestly. I had anesthesia.


    Nian Xi stayed silent. She remembered her brother pretending to suffer a huge pain in front of Luosang after he identally fell off his car. Unlike her brother, Jiang Yuning was too honest.


    Itll hurt when the anesthesia wears off.


    Ill get used to it. Jiang Yuning frowned slightly.


    Silly boy. Dont you know how to pretend to be pitiful? Nian Xi thought.


    She sighed, pulled up his shirt, then buttoned it up for him.


    The two of them were close to each other. As she lowered her head, Jiang Yuning saw the white and tender skin on the back of her neck. Her facial skin was a little darker than the other areas of her body. It turned out that her original skin color was pretty light. Her face was probably tanned.


    She was wearing a small ne that perfectly matched her skin.


    Xi, he called her, gasping for air.


    Hmm? Nian Xi raised her head. She was so close to him that her bright eyes even looked right into his heart.


    Your your neck is pretty, Jiang Yuningplimented her shyly in a low voice.


    Nian Xi raised her brows and curved her lips in a smile, feeling slightly sweet in her heart. Are you peeping my neck?


    Jiang Yuning slightly opened his mouth, feeling a little unhappy. Wasnt he even allowed to look at her neck?


    Since he didnt say anything, Nian Xi kept teasing him. Is my neck the only pretty part of me? What about the rest of me? Dont you think that every part of me is pretty?

 Chapter 1188. ts Like Indirectly Kissing

    Chapter 1188. t''s Like Indirectly Kissing


    Ill kill him if he says no, Nian Xi thought.


    Jiang Yuning stopped breathing for a second.


    Staring into each others eyes, they were just a few inches apart. He found her extra attractive while being thick-skinned. Youyou are pretty. Every part of you is pretty, even your hair.


    Good boy. Nian Xi smiled and opened the shopping bag she brought. She took out a ck jacket and said, Your coat is ruined. Its cold out, so I bought you a new jacket on my way here. Its not a good brand. I just grabbed one. I dont even know if its the right size or not. I just described your body type, and the salesperson rmended this one.


    Jiang Yuning took the jacket from, examined it and then said happily, Xi, you have such a good taste. This jacket is gorgeous. Ive never seen such a good-looking ck jacket.


    Nian Xi didnt feel so confident hearing thatpliment. That jacket was very ordinary. The shop she visited catered to middle-aged men.


    Eh Just wear it tonight. Ill buy you a better er, aspensation.


    I dont need yourpensation. Jiang Yuning shook his head and said softly, Just stay with me.


    Nian Xi was a little confused.


    I want you to keep mepany. Jiang Yuning nced at her.


    Nian Xi found his reaction interesting. He was getting smart.


    Are you hungry or thirsty? Can I get you something?


    She remembered him mentioning dinner before going to theb.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and rubbed his belly. He was hungry indeed. Just get me a steamed bun and a bottle of water.


    Thats all? Nian Xi asked.


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    Nian Xi left the room. About ten minutester, she returned and handed him a bag. Jiang Yuning looked inside but found no steam buns. There were some takeaway containers in there though.


    Wheres the steamed bun? he asked.


    When did I agree to buy you a steamed bun? Nian Xi nced at him.


    Jiang Yuning gave a start. Indeed, she did not agree to do that. But she did nod her head.


    There are no steamed buns. Here, have some rice. Nian Xi opened the containers. Inside were vegetables and meat. Mmm, smelled so good.


    His hands were bandaged, so Nian Xi volunteered to feed him. She put arge piece of meat into his mouth and said, Youre injured so badly. Can you heal well if you only eat steamed buns and vegetables? You have to eat some meat. You are not allowed to be picky about your food in front of me.


    Hearing her words, Jiang Yuning obediently swallowed the food in his mouth. He hated eating meat, but whatever Nian Xi put in his mouth tasted great. Xi, Ill eat whatever you feed me, he said.


    Nian Xi burst outughing. I want a boyfriend, not a son. Are you sure you want me to feed you? Do you want to be my son? Well, you can start by calling me mommy then.


    Eh-hem. Jiang Yuning nearly chocked on the meat. He finally coughed it up and looked at her with tearful eyes and said, Stop feeding me. I can do it myself.


    Smiling, Nian Xi said, Now is a special time. You can feed yourself when you get better.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning sighed and said, You should eat too. You must be hungry.


    Nian Xi was starving! She started eating while feeding Jiang Yuning. Soon she forgot to switch chopsticks and started using his.


    A few minutester, Jiang Yunings white cheeks became red. He looked at her sheepishly and said, Xi, why is the food getting more and more delicious?


    Nian Xi paused and stopped chewing. Jiang Yuning continued murmuring, Because your saliva is on the chopsticks.


    It was like kissing indirectly. He felt so shy.

 Chapter 1189. Looking at the Silly Boy, Nian Xi Laughed so Hard that Her Stomach even Ached

    Chapter 1189. Looking at the Silly Boy, Nian Xi Laughed so Hard that Her Stomach even Ached


    Eh-hem. This time it was Nian Xi who nearly choked.


    Looking at the chopsticks in her hand, she realized shed forgotten to switch chopsticks when she was feeding Jiang Yuning.


    Sharing chopsticks with her made him feel shy. She couldnt imagine how shy he might be if they kissed or even slept with each other.


    Somehow, Nian Xi started to expect that.


    That would be very interesting.


    You just reminded me that I should be switching chopsticks. Nian Xi calmly put down her chopsticks, picked up Jiang Yunings and continued feeding him.


    Jiang Yunings beautiful face was tinged with disappointment. He obediently ate the food she put in his mouth, then said sadly, Its not so good anymore.


    Nian Xi almostughed out loud. She didnt let that happen, though. Instead, she pretended not to know why and say to him, Really? Isnt it the same food?


    Jiang Yuning moved his lips slightly. He wanted to exin, but didnt.


    He didnt understand why Nian Xi pretended not to know the reason when she clearly did.


    After the meal, Nian Xi dumped the trash, then sat by the bedside, peeling fruit for Jiang Yuning. Meanwhile, she said to him, You surprised me tonight. How many things do you always carry? You even had nanometer wires in your belt. Do you have some things in your shoes too? I remember watching spy movies. They had knives in their shoes.


    Ive watched some of those movies too. Jiang Yuning nodded and continued, Those spies are good at fighting. Im not like them. Why would I hide knives in my shoes? But I crafted my shoes myself. Theyre special.


    Yeah? How? Nian Xis curiosity was instantly aroused. Were those shoes some high-tech products too?


    Jiang Yuning nced at his shoes, which were lying on the floor. He then exined, Theyre especiallyfortable. I made them with a special kind of high-density sponge that has perfect softness and resilience. Theyre also weightless. Apart from that, the materials I used will never wear out.


    Nian Xi wasnt expecting to hear about afortable and unbreakable pair of shoes.


    As she stayed silent, Jiang Yuning took this as an indication of interest in his work. He hurriedly said to her, Ill make you a pair if you like them.


    Eh thank you, but I dont need them. She had a lot of shoes like that.


    Theyrefortable. Jiang Yuning thought she didnt believe what he said, so he emphasized it very seriously and said, You can try mine on if you want.


    Nian Xi said seriously,Women are books that you can never read! Women always feel that their shoes are not enough, so they keep buying and recing them. It is even quite normal that a woman owns several pairs of shoes in same style. Shoes are no need to be durable for women since they will get tired of them soon.


    Jiang Yuning nkly bit a bite of apple peeled by Nian Xi. He swallowed it and said, If you want to change shoes frequently, Ill try to make new shoes for you. Is it enough for you to change one pair per week? I cant do them very quickly since I still have to do research.


    Looking at his silly appearance, Nian Xiughed so hard that her stomach even ached


    It is so funny to let a researcher make shoes!


    But she was quite touched.


    After all, The men who could make shoes were already going extinct.


    Why are youughing, Jiang Yuning was puzzled, Dont you believe me.


    Of course I do, Nian Xi managed to choke with theugh, But I like all kinds of shoes, sneakers, high heels, sandals and they all have to be fashionable and shapeable, Could you do that?

 Chapter 1190. You Can Even Have Me… If You Want

    Chapter 1190. You Can Even Have Me�� If You Want


    Jiang Yuning paused for half a minute, then shook his head and said, Thats tooplicated. I cant make those shoes.


    Nian Xiughed. It turned out that Jiang Yuning the scientist couldnt make everything.


    No worries. I dont need someone to make my shoes, Nian Xi said with a faint smile. I only want a boyfriend who pays for every pair of shoes I have my eyes on.


    Jiang Yunings eyes perked up. He clumsily dug out his wallet with his thickly bandaged hand and said to her, I have a lot of money in my bank ounts.


    That silly boys sincerity made her heart melt. But, youre not my boyfriend, she retorted.


    Jiang Yuning fell silent.


    She was right. He was disappointed again.


    It was fine. He still had a chance to be her boyfriend. After all, she had agreed to let him clean her apartment.


    Jiang Yuning was thrilled about that. He was so confident in his cleaning skills.


    Nian Xi noticed all the micro-expressions on his face. She was amused and told him so. She added the fact that he had risked his life to save hers earlier tonight. He could easily win her heart at the moment if only he would just ask her to be his girlfriend. She would have never said no. Oh, what a dummy.


    Never mind, we have time, Nian Xi thought to himself.


    What special gears do you have, apart from your shoes? Im not talking about thefortable kind, Nian Xi said. I mean the kind you used earlier tonight.


    Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, then raised his left hand, revealing an ordinary-looking sandalwood bracelet. Every bead in this bracelet is empty. Anesthetic needles and signal transmitters are hidden in these beads. My pen can be used as a stun gun, my sses have night vision, and my watch can detect tiny airstreams that human bodies cant detect.


    Nian Xi got closer and raised his hand to get a better look at his watch. This isnt the same watch you were wearingst time, is it? she asked.


    No, it isnt. This is a better version, much more functional than the one you saw.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    She still hadnt fully figured out the functions of hisst watch, yet his new one was far more functional.


    She wanted to ask him for his old watch.


    That wassuch a waste.


    It was pitch dark in theb, but you pushed me away from the falling object. You knew something would fall. Was it because of this watch?


    Kind of. When the light was off, my watch buzzed quickly. I instantly felt that something was wrong. But I was mainly depending on my sses. While speaking, Jiang Yuning pulled out a ne from his shirt. The pendant on the ne was a pair of sses. These are night vision sses


    Nian Xi was amazed.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, then said, This is standard equipment for many international spies nowadays. Well, your job is too um, you dont need them.


    What do you mean? Nian Xi folded her arms indignantly and asked, Are you trying to say my job isnt high-level enough?


    No Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly. Being a police officer is honorable.


    Im d you realize that, Nian Xi snorted. Without the police, the world would be a mess. So for the sake of my honorable job, shouldnt you give me a couple of your high-tech tools?


    Jiang Yuning gave a cryptic smile. A short whileter, he responded to her with, You can have anything you want You can even have me if you want

 Chapter 1191. Ill Clean Your Apartment Forever

    Chapter 1191. I''ll Clean Your Apartment Forever


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    She considered herself a thick-skinned person but didnt expect that he was thick-skinned too.


    He had already learned to promote himself.


    Under his innocent gaze, Nian Xi coughed slightly, said, Didnt I agree to let you clean my apartment?


    I mean, I want to clean your apartment forever, Jiang Yuning curved his lips corners downward with a grievance.


    Arent you going too far tonight? Nian Xi said seriously, You havent cleaned my apartment even once, but you already asked to clean it forever. How am I supposed to know that youll do exactly what you said? Who knows if youll give up on me because my apartment is too messy?


    I wont, Jiang Yuming shook his head determinedly, Persistence is the most important quality of scientists.


    I dont believe words. Actions are more important, Nian Xi folded her arms and said, Try to clean my apartment once when you recovered. Besides, if you want to be with me, you cant be picky about food anymore. Youre weak because you only eat vegetables. You have to eat a lot of meat and fishes together with me.


    Jiang Yuning furrowed his brows, opened his mouth.


    Do you have a problem with that? Nian Xi said to him.


    Under her gaze, Jiang Yuning weakly shook his head.


    Nian Xi looked at the poor boy. She was a policewoman. Would she ever let go of such a talented scientist who was able to develop high-tech weapons?


    She would not. She had to keep him by her side, to make her all kinds of high-tech safety tools.


    With those tools, she would be able to do her job so easily. She would be able to put her captain down within just a second. She might even be a director someday.


    That would, certainly, take a long time, though. She shouldnt be with him for that purpose. A rtionship could not be forced. They had to be into each other to be together.


    The transfusion wasnt finished until midnight. While leaving the hospital, Jiang Yuning nced at Nian Xis hoody, said, why didnt you buy yourself a coat too? Its cold. You can wear mine.


    I forgot, Nian Xi shook her head and said, No. You havent healed yet. Just put it on. Wait here. Ill go and get the car.


    Jiang Yuning watched her run away in the darkness, suddenly realized something.


    Five minutester, Nian Xi brought over the car. Jiang Yuning got into the car, said, Im going to buy a car.


    Oh, Nian Xi said, You should buy a car. Every guy has a car nowadays. But do you have a driving license?


    Jiang Yuning stayed silent for a few seconds, then shook his head with a bitter face, Maybe I should try to develop a driverless car.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    I heard its hard to get the driving license, said Jiang Yuning bitterly.


    The driving license was hard to get, so he wanted to develop a driverless car. The world of geniuses was really hard to understand.


    Even if you developed a driverless car sessfully, youd still need a license to get your car onto the roads. There are already driverless cars now. The technique isnt stable yet, though. Ive heard about quite a few driverless car idents.


    Alright, Jiang Yuning said, Ill get the license when I recovered. Then Ill be able to pick you up.


    He never noticed that earlier. But now, seeing the girl driving herself in the middle of the night, he even had his heart twitch. That kind of thing should be done by a man.


    Alright, Nian Xi smiled.


    Im going to buy a car exactly like yours, Jiang Yuning added, What is the brand called?


    Just see for yourself, Nian Xi tapped the steering wheel. There was a logo on it.


    Four rings.


    Its called Audi, Nian Xi said.


    Oh, I thought its called Four Rings.

 Chapter 1192. If I Can Ever Go into Space, Ill Take You with Me

    Chapter 1192. If I Can Ever Go into Space, I''ll Take You with Me


    Nian Xi wondered what kind of life he was living before.


    Arent all guys into cars?


    She was a girl, but still, she always wanted to buy a new car. Nian Qingyun never let her do that. He said that a police officer should not drive an expensive car, because that might create an unhealthy atmosphere. Therefore, she had been driving her Audi Q5 for years.


    She was rich but wasnt allowed to spend her money the way she wanted.


    Im not into cars. Im into studying and astronomy.


    Astronomy Ah, Nian Xi stuttered, The stars are beautiful indeed


    Yes, but space is even more beautiful. Speaking of that, Jiang Yuning became excited. I really want to go into space and see how things look in there.


    Nian Xi only wanted to go abroad to see what other countries were like, yet he wanted to go into space. Was he even strong enough to do that?


    Nian Xi was surprised.


    If I can ever go into space, Ill take you with me, Jiang Yuning turned, looked at her and said.


    Eh, thank you, but no. I think Ill stay on earth, Nian Xi said. She had seen some great movies about outer space when she was little. It was beautiful, but also scary.


    Alright, Jiang Yuning said regrettably, Ill take you to see ck holes and fixed stars with an astronomical telescope next time.


    Nian Xi blinked, and couldnt help but scratch the back of her head and said, Isnt a ck hole a hole in the color ck? Is a fixed star a type of star?


    Jiang Yuning knitted his brows slightly, said, Xi, you are so ignorant.


    Im not an astronomer, Nian Xi said, I dont remember everything I learned in high school. I had to memorize all kinds ofws in college. Tell me about criminalw if you can. I can recite it from the first line to thest.


    I cant do that, Jiang Yuning dropped his head.


    So, dont call me ignorant, Nian Xi smiled.


    Im sorry, said Jiang Yuning honestly, But, since you know absolutely nothing about ck holes, I decided to tell you something about them.


    During the next forty minutes, Nian Xi was listening to him talking about ck holes the whole time.


    Looking at the endlessly talking boy, she even started wondering what she had found in him to dislike before. He didnt even need to take a break when he talked about science.


    Finally, she parked the car downstairs. Regrettably, Jiang Yuning said, Time is too limited today. I havent finished yet. Ill continue next time.


    Thank you, but I dont understand a word about neutron stars and the theory of rtivity that you just talked about, Nian Xi said, You have to understand that Im not one of your students. What you said was too profound for me.


    Jiang Yuning blinked. He had made it as easy to understand as he could, so why did she still not understand?


    Nian Xi continued, I did understand one thing you said, that we might be able to travel back in time through a ck hole. Maybe you can take me to the Tang Dynasty someday. Id choose that over a trip in the space.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned for a second, then said, I I cant do that. Thats only a hypothesis. I can try to make the space trip happen for real, though.


    Seeing him try so hard to think, Nian Xi couldnt help but rest her arms on the steering wheel and burst outughing. Sheughed so hard that tears began streaming down her cheeks.


    She hadnt known any scientist before. After knowing Jiang Yuning, who was both a physicist and an astronomer, she felt as if she lived in a fantasy movie.


    Why are youughing again? Im serious, Jiang Yuning was utterly confused.


    Nothing. I just feel that you are so capable, Nian Xi stoppedughing, said to him honestly, Ive never met anyone like you before.

 Chapter 1193. I Will

    Chapter 1193. I Will


    Seriously, almost every ordinary person felt troubled for money, for small family affairs, and for work. Unlike them, he was pursuing his dream so who-heartedly and persistently. His life was as pure as an empty sheet of paper.


    Jiang Yuning blushed slightly. Was that apliment or a sarcasm?


    Of course it was apliment. Its just The look in Nian Xis eyes suddenly becameplicated, Have you ever thought that the two of us have very different jobs. Perhaps, well have problems fitting into each others social circle.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning knitted his brows into a deep frown, as if he was facing a very dangerous enemy. Why did that kind of thought ur to her after he talked to her about ck holes?


    My social circle is very simple, he said, Its myb. As for yours I dont know how to catch suspects but but, I can give you the tools that I made.


    Thats not what Im talking about. Im talking about shared hobbies, Nian Xi felt troubled as well. She never thought about that at first. However, on her way back, she listened to him talking about science but barely understood a thing.


    Do you not like what I said? Jiang Yuning realized what might be wrong, I wont talk to you about it anymore.


    Its not like that either. Well, I think you can try to make it easier to understand, Nian Xi gave her suggestion, Im willing to learn something new, but Do your parents want you to be with someone whos also a scientist? In that case, youd have a lot to talk about, and a shared dream.


    Jiang Yuning scratched his head, said, My parents never talked to me about that. We only saw each other in the New Year. Theyre both very busy. They have no time for me. Sometimes, they even need to work at New Year.


    Nian Xi had her lip corners twitched slightly. He was thirty years old, yet his parents didnt even mention his marriage. Unlike them, her own parents talked about it every time they saw her. However, even though her parents could a little too talkative sometimes, she still felt happy to spend time together with her family.


    Arent your parents worried that you might be single forever, and that your great gene might not continue? Said Nian Xi seriously.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, said, My father only cares about ancient creatures. Every time a new fossil or some new species were found, hed be there with his team. He always spent months in the mountain areas, or in hisb. My mother travels all over the world all year round, observing the space. She took pictures of different stars andpare them with each other. She often stayed in the areas more than three-thousand kilometers above the sea level. She lived in Mount Kash for half a year when I was little.


    Nian Xi was shocked to hear that. What a crazy family of scientists.


    Um you seem to like astronomy a lot too. You wont be living on a mountain that is thousands of meters above the sea level for half a year after we got married, will you? Nian Xi hesitated slightly and then asked.


    After we got married? Jiang Yuning paused in shock. After realizing what he had just heard, he responded to her with red cheeks, I will marry you.


    Nian Xi felt a little embarrassed.


    That was only a hypothetical question. Im not proposing to you.


    Jiang Yuning curved his lips downward with disappointment, said, Ill go if you let me, or I wont go.


    Dont say that. Youre a man whos going to see the space after all, Nian Xi made a joke.


    Space isnt as important as getting married and having kids, Jiang Yuning blinked his dark eyes, looked at Nian Xi, in the way looking at a piece of meat on the chopping board.


    Eh-hem, Nian Xi coughed slightly, then said to him, Its gettingte. Just go home. Im tired too.


    Oh, Jiang Yuning got off the car. Nian Xi thought for a moment and then said to him, Stay home and get some good rest. Ille to visit you tomorrow if I have time. I need to interrogate Yang Wenzhi in these couple of days. Hes not nning on pleading guilty. I will certainly put him in prison.

 Chapter 1194. I Freaked Out When I Heard About it This Morning

    Chapter 1194. I Freaked Out When I Heard About it This Morning


    You have to. Jiang Yuning nodded.


    Nian Xi hesitated slightly, then said to him, You might need to appear in court to testify. You were at the crime scene with me. Youre a credible witness.


    Ill go, if you want me to, Jiang Yuning said obediently.


    As he walked upstairs, Uncle Han immediately came to him with his concerns. Seeing his wounds, Uncle Hans heart ached. Mr. Jiang, Ive worked for you for years, but Ive never seen you get injured so badly. I dont think you should follow Ms. Nian again when shes working on her case.


    Jiang Yuning, on hearing that, shook his head and wrote, I didnt know being a police officer could be so dangerous. Ill make her some weapons for her to be safe.


    Uncle Han nodded. That was a good idea. Are you stillmunicating with Ms. Nian with your pen and notebook?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and pointed to his mouth.


    Uncle Han asked, Why cant you talk to me too?


    Jiang Yuning nced at him, then shook his head and wrote, I dont want to.


    Uncle Han couldnt understand why.


    The next day, Nian Xi woke up to receive some calls from her family. Both Nian Qingyun and Murong Cheng told her they were worried sick about her when they heard about what happened.


    She went to the police station to work. As she parked her car and walked to the gate of the police station, she saw Feng Ji Chaun standing there with a serious face. He walked toward her and said solemnly with a trace of concern, I heard you were trapped in ab in the universityst night and almost died. Is that true?


    Im fine now. Thank you for asking. Nian Xi recalled what Cheng Jing said to herst time. She needed to adjust her mindset when she was facing Feng Ji Chuan. She shouldnt always be so mean to him.


    Hearing her words, Feng Ji Chuan paused with a surprised look, then furrowed his brows deeply and said, I tried to warn you. A murderer is a smart person. You should have listened to me. But instead, you acted alone without Fang Qi. Have you ever thought about what could have happenedst night? You were lucky, or you might not be standing here now. I want you to be more cautious with your future cases. Before you identify the suspect, remember that everyone rted to the case might be the murderer.


    You are right. I was luckyst night. Nian Xi nodded, then walked past him.


    What happenedst night taught her an important lesson. She didnt mind what he said.


    Xi. Feng Ji Chuan hurriedly held her wrist, took a deep breath and said, I know I shouldnt be talking to you like that. Im worried about you. We grew up together. I dont want anything bad to happen to you. I freaked out this morning when I heard about it.


    Nian Xi was puzzled.


    That didnt sound like something Feng Ji Chuan would say.


    I get it. We grew up together. Nian Xi nodded knowingly.


    No I found that I care about you more than I thought I would, Feng Ji Chuan said, with a bitter look in his eyes. I will protect you. I wont let anyone hurt you. Xi, I was in the army before. I always considered myself the center of the world. I should have thought more about your feelings. I admit I was selfish. I promise you it wont happen again. Ill go anywhere you go, and Ill get you any food you want immediately.


    Nian Xi had aplicated feeling. Feng Ji Chuan had talked to her many times about getting back together again. This time, he said the most touching words the ever said. Those words might have seeded in bringing her back to himst year after they broke up, but sadly she now had someone else in her life, someone decent and good. She wanted to know more about that boy and to think about being together with him.

 Chapter 1195. Jiang Yuning? He Would Really Like to Meet that Guy

    Chapter 1195. Jiang Yuning? He Would Really Like to Meet that Guy


    Nian Xi stayed silent for a short while, then responded to him honestly, Ji Chuan, we broke up over a year ago. I admit I liked you a lot before. You care about too many things. I could never be the center of your life. But I get it. Youre a guy. Its reasonable that you care about your country and your family. The country is your top priority, and your family is second. I thought Id be the third most important thing in your life, but no. When I realized that, I loved you the deepest. After we broke up, my passion for you cooled. You realized how good I am after you lost me. Unlike you, I became more rxed and happier after we split. Im not tired anymore. Also, I met a great guy whos good to me. I hope you move on too. You should spend some time getting to know the girls around you. A lot of young girls in our station like you.


    Feng Ji Chuans heart ached intensely.


    This morning, he heard from his colleagues that Jiang Yuning was with Nian Xi at the crime scene and that he saved her.


    Theyplimented Jiang Yuning for how capable he was. He managed to bring her out of the fire scene on the ninth floor.


    Feng Ji Chuan asked himself, could he do the same?


    Probably not.


    He wasnt jealous of Jiang Yuning. On the contrary, he was grateful to him for saving Nian Xi.


    Are you talking about Jiang Yuning? he asked.


    Nian Xi didnt answer his question but responded to him with, Ji Chuan, I admit Ive been mean to you since we broke up. I shouldnt have been so unfriendly to you. Im sorry. As you said, we grew up together, and now were colleagues. We arent on the same team, but we might still need to work together in the future. Ill forget about what happened between us in the past. You will always be a good colleague of mine. Youre like a big brother to me.


    Feng Ji Chuan smiled bitterly and said, Nian Xi, Id rather you keep being mean to me.


    She had been mean to him, a sure sign that she still cared for him.


    If he became nothing but a good colleague and a big brother to her, he would have no chance at all of winning her back.


    Weve already missed each other, Nian Xi said.


    Feng Ji Chuan said with a bitter smile, Nian Xi, I dont know much about Jiang Yuning. I admit hes very capable. But are you two a perfect match for each other? I heard from Zhan Hong that hes highly introverted. Hes a scientist. Scientists always stay in theb. You are an outgoing, energetic person. You might be alone if you get together with him. Will you be able to cope with that? Even if thats no problem, what about your shared interests? Are you gonna talk to him about your police life while he talks to you about his science? Does he even understand your life? Do you understand his?


    Nian Xi knitted her brows.


    I dont think your parents will like him, Feng Ji Chuan said. What if you get together with him and then find out you two are ipatible? If you break up with him, will he be okay with it? For two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together, liking each other isnt enough. They also need shared interests and whatnot.


    Alright, stop. What he said was exactly what Nian Xi was worried about at the moment. His words pierced her heart.


    Thank you for your advice. Ill think about it. But I take full responsibility for my own life. We arent together yet. Its premature to conclude that were not a good match based merely on our different upations. After saying that, Nian Xi turned and walked into the police station.


    Feng Ji Chuan looked at her back and rubbed his forehead.


    Jiang Yuning? Hed like to meet that guy.

 Chapter 1196. Luo, Is She Dreaming?

    Chapter 1196. Luo, Is She Dreaming?


    Nian Xi went into her office, threw herself in the chair.


    It was early in the morning, but Feng Ji Chuan had already ruined her mood.


    Fang Qi came over, with two dark circles under his eyes. I was interrogating Yang Wenzhi until midnightst night. He refused to plead guilty. Hes not saying anything. Hes thought fun, sneaky and scheming. His family hired him awyer. Today, hiswyer will certainly ask for bail. We cant let him go.


    Nian Xi pped on the table, said with a cold smile, He actually attempted to murder a police officer. If I failed to put him in prison, Id change my family name. Oh, what did the fire department say?


    The cause of the fire was the falling of the device shelf. The shelf was full of electric wires. When it fell, the electric wire embalmed the table and the devices, Fang Qi patted her on the shoulder, said, Dont worry. Itll be solid, as long as Professor Jiang and you show up on the court as witnesses. Youre not important, Professor Jiang is. He is a physicist, and the crime scene was a physicsb. His words are going to be very powerful.


    What do you mean by Im not important? Nian Xiined, I am a police officer and a victim.


    Fang Qi gave a faint smile.


    Eleven am, while Nian Xi was scolding Yang Wenzhi in the interrogation room, her colleague went in and said to her, Nian Xi, your brother and sister-inw are here to see you.


    Nian Xi hurriedly went out. Nian Junting was sitting on her chair, holding Apple, screaming, Luo, hes poopinp! Come here1 Come here and wipe him!


    The tissue is right beside you. Wipe him yourself, Luosang said ndly.


    Its disgusting, Nian Justing screamed.


    Eat it, then, Luosang showed no mercy at all.


    Nian Junting didnt know what to say.


    Nian Xi walked in,ughed, Brother, its been months. Are you still afraid of Apples poop?


    With a cold face, Nian Junting threw the dirty diaper at her. Nian Xi hurriedly caught it with the bin, thenined, I almost diedst night. How can you treat your little sister like this?


    You are always a trouble maker, Nian Junting said while wiping Apples butt.


    Luosang gave him a re, then said to Nian Xi, Dont listen to him. He was worried about you when he heard from Ji Chuan about what happenedst night in the morning. So we decided toe here to check on you together. I guessed it out yesterday. If nothing happened, you wouldnt have made that call.


    Sangsang, you know me the best, Nian Xi gave her a hug, pretended to cry, I thought Id never see you again.


    Nian Junting said to her coldly, I told you to stay in the office, but you wouldnt listen. You wanted to do the fieldwork, to solve cases. This simple murder case almost cost your life. What would happen if it was arge case?


    You dont know, Nian Xi curved her lips downward, said, I might be Director Nian someday. By then. Ill be sitting in my office, giving instructions.


    Director? Nian Juntingughed, Luo, is she in a dream?


    Luosang gave an awkward smile, said, Dont say that. Young people need to have dreams, even though the chance of achieving their dreams is very small.


    Nian Xi sighed. Why did no one believe her?


    Oh, I heard that Jiang Yuning saved your life yesterday, Luosang smiled meaningfully, said, You guys ran into each other again. I guess you two meant to be together. When will you bring him home for dinner? Your brother will pay for the food. We need to thank him for saving you.


    Will my brother ever invite him for dinner? Nian Xi was surprised.


    Yeah. I dont like him, but he did save your life. I should, indeed, thank him for that, said Nian Junting, I will thank him for you, so you wont need to offer yourself to him in return for his favor.

 Chapter 1197. Stop It. Im Trying to Tell Xi About How A Couple Should Get Along with Each Other

    Chapter 1197. Stop It. I''m Trying to Tell Xi About How A Couple Should Get Along with Each Other


    Nian Xi appeared at a loss for words.


    So, he was thinking that way.


    Well, I think hes nice. Why dont you like him? Nian Xi exhaled.


    Nian Justing pressed his lips together silently.


    How could he possibly like him? That boy had pissed him off so many times.


    Luosang patted Nian Xi on the shoulder and whispered, Ignore him. That boy is so outstanding even someone like your brother can be jealous of him at times.


    I get it. Nian Xi was enlightened.


    Pulling a long face, Nian Junting said, Xu Luosang, what are you talking about? Im jealous of Jiang Yuning? Thats absurd. Is he as good-looking as I am? Is he as good at making money as I am? Is his EQ as high as mine


    Luosang interrupted him impatiently and said, Can you get a girl out of a sealed room on the ninth floor thats on fire?


    Nian Junting clenched his fists, coughed slightly, then changed the topic. Since youre okay, I think Im gonna go, he said to Nian Xi. Next week is Apples hundred-day-old party. Dont forget.


    Brother dear, you still havent answered your wifes question. Nian Xi didnt n to let him off the hook so easily.


    Nian Junting felt humiliated. He red at her and answered truthfully, I cant do that.


    Well, when choosing a boyfriend, I think the most important thing is that the boy can protect you, said Luosang ndly. Jiang Yuning saved your life. He did it. So, I think you can seriously think about the thing between you and that boy.


    Nian Xi hesitated with a surprised expression and couldnt help but ask, What about shared interests and all that other stuff?


    Do you really think your brother and I have any shared interests? Luosang threw the question right back at her.


    Youre right, said Nian Xi. My brother can end a conversation with three words. How did you manage to get along with him? I was shocked at first.


    What do you mean? Nian Junting wasnt happy hearing that. Im still here, holding our son, alright?


    The two girls ignored him. Luosang said to Nian Xi, Sometimes, you dont need shared interests and goals. I think tolerance is more important. Your brother likes movies and TV shows about the Anti-Japanese War, but I never watch them. Every time he talks to me about how great the Chinese armies are or how marvelous amander was, I listen to him while doing other things and then forget about it immediately.


    Ahem. Looking at her brothers sourpuss, Nian Xi couldnt help clearing her throat to remind Luosang. Sangsang, my brothers still here.


    Smiling indifferently, Nian Junting added, I didnt know you never listened to what I was saying.


    Luosang rolled her eyes and answered, Stop it. Im just trying to tell Xi about how a couple should get along with each other.


    What you said isnt right, Nian Junting said angrily.


    Okaay. So then let me ask you something: What shared interest do you think we have? asked Luosang.


    Hmm. Nian Junting spent some time pondering this question but failed toe up with one thing.


    Sex?


    Nian Xi, who was taking a swig of water, did a spit take at her brothers answer.


    Luosangs cheeks turned bright red. She regretted asking that question.


    That doesnt count


    No, it doesnt. Nian Junting suddenly got interested in that topic. Every time we quarrel, we make up by having fantastic sex. Besides, having sex has brought us closer to each other. So I would say that harmony between a couple is very important.


    Luosang went silent.


    He was right.


    As the conversation became racier, Nian Xi felt like crying. Brother, Sangsang. If your only shared interest is sex, whats been keeping you guys together all this time?

 Chapter 1198. Ill be Leaving… The Day After Tomorrow

    Chapter 1198. I''ll be Leaving�� The Day After Tomorrow


    Neither Nian Junting nor Luosang knew how to answer that question.


    The two of them nced at each other with a confused expression.


    My charm, I think, quipped Nian Junting haughtily.


    Rolling her eyes, Luosang said, I think its because I have poor taste in men. Also, I got pregnant, so I had to marry him.


    If the conversation continued, the two of them might start quarreling. So Nian Xi hastily said to them, Thank you foring here to check on me. I still have work to do, so you guys should leave now. Ill see you next week at Apples party, with a big red envelope.


    She walked them to the gate. Nian Junting went to get the car; Luosang stayed behind with Nian Xi, holding the baby. Atst, she said to Nian Xi, Your brother and I dont have any shared interests. Sometimes I wish I could kick his ass. But he does love me, and his love for me has never changed in spite of my past and my family. Hes given me a sense of security that I need. When Im tired, I have someone to lean on. In his eyes, other women are like sculptures. I think this is how a couple should be. To him, I can be a princess or a queen.


    Nian Xi was bbergasted to hear that. She was still in shock after Luosang left.


    She could be a princess or a queen.


    That sounded like a marriage any girl would want.


    In the car, Nian Junting nced at the rearview mirror. Before leaving, he noticed a weird look in Nian Xis eyes.


    What did you say to her? he asked Luosang.


    I told her what a happy marriage is like.


    Like you have a husband whos good in bed? Nian Junting smiled and raised his brows. Then he said, Jiang Yuning looks so weak. I dont think hes good in the sack.


    Why dont you ever listen to me? Luosangs temples were even throbbing. Dont always say that about other guys. How do you know? Like youve tried it with him?


    Nian Junting kept his mouth shut.


    Hes probably weak, but so what? He was strong enough to carry Nian Xi from the ninth floor from a burning building, wasnt he? Luosang snorted. How on earth did he do that? That is so heroic and romantic.


    Enough. Nian Juntings handsome face turned dark. It was only nine floors. Ive climbed cliffs before. Ive climbed Mount Zhumngma. If you like climbing buildings so much, how about I take you to climb that mountain now?


    Eh No, thank you. Luosang dropped her head and took out her phone. Im calling Su and asking her if she has time toe to Apples party.


    Do it. Shes Apples godmother after all. Nian Junting agreed once he thought of Mo Liuxis frosty face.


    Luosang quickly called Yan Su. After a few rings, she finally picked up, sounding a little tired. Sangsang, howe you have time to call me today?


    You never called me. What can I do? Lusoangughed. Then she said, Do you remember whats happening next week?


    Apples turning a hundred days old, right? Yan Su hurriedly said, Ive been keeping that in mind. ButIm leaving the day after tomorrow.


    Oh, cant you leaveter? Youre Apples godmother. Luosang was disappointed.


    She didnt have many friends. Yan Su was her best friend.


    Im so sorry. Yan Sus apology sounded sincere. She wanted very much to attend the party, but she didnt want to see Mo Liuxi. Ille to see you before I leave. I wont be back until the end of the year.


    Okay. Luosang didnt try to persuade her to stay. Call me before youe.

 Chapter 1199. He Was so Good at Pretending

    Chapter 1199. He Was so Good at Pretending


    As Luosang ended the call, Nian Junting raised his brows and asked, Isnt sheing?


    No. She said shes leaving in a few days. Luosang sighed. But she also said shell stop by to see me before she leaves.


    Nian Junting nodded.


    Why are you suddenly so interested in her? asked Luosang.


    Nonsense, said Nian Junting. Its because shes your only friend.


    Shes not my only friend, but shes my best friend. Luosang said sentimentally, I guess this is what happens after graduation. People drift apart.


    Nian Junting nced at her. At the red light, he sent Mo Liuxi a WeChat messageI heard Yan Su wille to visit Luo soon


    Before long, Mo Liuxi repliedNone of my business.


    Nian Junting was not happy to read that message. He decided not to help him ever again.


    Three dayster, at around dinnertime, Yan Su paid Luosang and Apple a visit. Once inside, she put arge red envelope and a gold bracelet in Apples arms and said, Luo, I cant stay for Apples party but as his godmother, I prepared him a hundred-day-old present.


    Yeah, you are his godmother. We ept the gift. Luosang looked at her up and down. She was wearing a loose-fitting jacket, t shoes, and no makeup, not even wear lipstick. She had great facial features, though, so she looked good even without makeup. But


    Su, have you really been working recently? You look sallow. Dont work so hard.


    Em. Yan Su smiled bitterly on the inside. She had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently and had vomited almost everything she ate. The pressure at work was another stressor. No wonder she looked sallow.


    Have you had dinner yet? I asked Sister Lan to put something aside for you, said Luosang.


    I already ate, thanks. Yan Su put Apple on her knees. The three-month-old little boy was such a sweetie. His skin was white and tender; looking at him made Yan Sus heart melt.


    She had never found babies cute before. Ever since she got pregnant, her heart turned to mush whenever she saw any baby. So, she determinedly decided to keep her baby, no matter how hard it might be.


    Su, why are you staring at Apple like that? Come on, have some strawberries. Luosang brought some washed strawberries.


    Yan Su ate two, then lost her appetite.


    At that moment, Steward Wus voice was heard from the outside.


    Mr. Mo, what a surprise to see you back on a weekday.


    Hm. Dad made some a durian cake and asked me to bring some here. Mo Liuxi changed his shoes and walked inside.


    He was wearing a stylish ck jacket and a pair of jeans that emphasized his well-chiseled face and long legs. Standing next to Steward Wu, he looked like a hipster out of aic book.


    Hearing his voice, Yan Su immediately tightened her body.


    She came here on Monday night because she didnt want to run into Mo Liuxi. But he showed up anyway.


    Why did youe back today? Luosang was surprised too.


    I had dinner with some friends nearby and drank a little alcohol, so I decided to spend the night here. Mo Liuxi put the cake on the table, then plunked himself down on the couch with a nd face and without returning Yan Sus nce.


    Seeing that, Nian Junting snorted.


    He was so good at pretending.


    Dads getting better and better at baking. Luosang cut Yan Su a slice and said, Su, try my fathers cake.


    Thank you, Yan Su took the te. One whiff of that durian cake made her retch. Sang, Im going to the bathroom.


    Seeing the look on her face filled Mo Liuxis heart with coldness and sadness.


    Soshes decided to keep the baby.

 Chapter 1200. Arent You Worried that You Might Lose the Baby?

    Chapter 1200. Aren''t You Worried that You Might Lose the Baby?


    Luosang blinked, turned and said to Nian Junting, I think Sus acting weird.


    Nian Junting was switching channels with the remote control. A lot of people dont like durian, he said.


    But she liked it before, Luosang said. Oh, Liuxi, why didnt you say hi to Su? You guys havent seen each other in a long time, right?


    We rarely talk to each now that she moved away. Mo Liuxi lowered his head and shoved a huge piece of cake in his mouth.


    I understand. Luosang nodded. You need to keep in touch with people to maintain your friendship with them. But you cant just ignore her. You should be polite.


    She didnt say hi to me either, did she? said Mo Liuxi indifferently.


    Luosang wasnt sure what to make of that.


    Seven or eight minutester, Yan Su came out of the bathroom. Luosang thought her face looked paler than ever.


    Before she said another word, Yan Su apologized, Sangsang, Im sorry. I was going to stay longer, but mypany called me just now. They want me there. I think theres a problem with the music arrangements we made this morning. They want to talk to me about it.


    So soon? Luosang said with disappointment. I was going to invite you to stay here for the night.


    Thanks, but no. I cant. Yan Su hugged her and said, Ill see you when I get back.


    Bye, call me. Luosang stood up. Your van should be by the door, right? Ill walk you out.


    Nian Junting abruptly stopped her and said, What if Apple gets hungry while youre gone? What if I miss you? Let Liuxi walk her out.


    Luosang shot him a weird look.


    So dramatic! Im only going to walk her to the door. Why didnt you say that your son might die without me?


    You dont need to walk me out. Hearing Nian Juntings words, Yan Su quickly walked toward the door.


    Go. Nian Junting nced at Mo Liuxi coldly. Youre only here to deliver the cake. I think youre leaving soon. Yan Su is your sisters best friend. From here to the courtyard entrance is very dangerous. Your sister would eat me alive if anything bad happened to her.


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows. He was liking his brother-inw more recently. You think I want to stay? he said.


    After saying that, he coldly stood up and walked toward Yan Su.


    Luosang looked at Nian Junting angrily and said, Liuxi is my brother. Why did you make it sound like hes not wee here? Arent you ashamed? From here to the courtyard entrance is dangerous? Whats so dangerous in our yard? Tell me.


    Nian Junting looked at her with a grievance. His wife didnt understand him at all.


    Xiaosi is the biggest danger. Im worried he might attack strangers. He might scare Yan Su.


    Nonsense. Luosang refused to talk to him again.


    Nian Junting sighed.


    It felt awful trying to do something good while nobody appreciated him.


    Yan Su walked in the yard, which was paved with cobblestones. The night was quiet. She heard footstepsing toward her from behind.


    She wanted to move faster so she wouldnt have to face him.


    Yan Su, stop, Mo Liuxi called her coldly. Dont walk so fast. Arent you afraid you might trip and lose your baby?


    Yan Su was trembling. She felt as if her brain had exploded at that very moment. Quite a whileter, she stopped walking and slowly turned to him and said, How how did you know?


    Mo Liuxi smiled frostily and said, You spent a whole night with Shi Xiang. Getting pregnant is a normal thing for you. You lied to my sister about going to the United States to study, but I know youre going somewhere to have the baby. You even lied to your best friend. Youre too ashamed to tell her the truth, arent you? You dont want her to know that youre that kind of woman. Am I right?

 Chapter 1201. Thank You. Actually, Youre Not a very Shallow Person

    Chapter 1201. Thank You. Actually, You''re Not a very Shallow Person


    Yan Sus sallow face instantly turned ghastly pale. She raised her head, looked at the man who was standing under the bright light, looking like a ghost.


    That was exactly why she didnt want to see him.


    She was afraid of his harsh words.


    Youre right. Im that kind of woman. She smiled bitterly and said if she was careful, what was happening now would never happen. There. Are you happy?


    Mo Liuxi was so angry his heart ached.


    He suddenly regretteding here today. Their rtionship was over, but he still came all the way here to be mean to her.


    Im telling you, Shi Xiang isnt the babys father. Its someone else. Ive slept with many guys but you. What can you do for me? Yan Su was infuriated by his words.


    You Mo Liuxi was shocked. You are so filthy.


    Youre right. I am filthy. I am hypocritical. Dont try to tell me youre clean. You slept with An Ning, didnt you? Were the same. We should stay away from each other. Yan Su nodded, picked up her bag, turned and quickly went straight into the van by the courtyard gate.


    Mo Liuxi was left standing alone in the yard with a lump in his throat.


    He stood there like a statue until he heard Nian Juntings voice. If you want to cry, go cry on the outside. Dont make your sister worry.


    Whos crying? Mo Liuxi tried so hard to keep the tears from welling up in his eyes. The wind made my eyes sore. I think there is sand in my eyes. Your yard isnt clean.


    Nian Junting nodded slightly and said, The yard isnt clean. Youre right. After all, Steward Wu only cleans it every day.


    Mo Liuxi didnt respond.


    So? Nian Junting raised his brows and said, How mean were you guys to each other?


    How did you know? Mo Liuxi gave him a dirty look.


    I know because Ive been there, said Nian Junting ndly. People say all kinds of awful things to each other when they break up. You shouldnt take those words too seriously. Many of them might not be true. Well, guys usually say mean words to attract girls intention. You want her to care about you, even if she might hate you.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent.


    For the very first time, he was hearing some convincing arguments from Nian Junting.


    Thank you. Youre not such a shallow person.


    After saying that, he left.


    Nian Junting looked at his back with discontent.


    How dare that kid use the word shallow about me? He deserves to be dumped.


    Wednesday, eight in the morning.


    Nian Xi drove to Jiang Yunings. She saw him from a distance.


    They were going to court today. Jiang Yuning was wearing a ck id double-breasted suit. His shirt and tie were neatly ironed. The ck suit looked beautiful against his fair skin, making him look like an energetic, outstanding young man, even more morous than the morning sunshine.


    Nian Xi had seen him wearing a suit back in France, but today he took her breath away when she saw his long legs and gorgeous face.


    She drove up to him. Jiang Yuning got into the car with a big, sweet smile. Xi, morning.


    Morning. Nian Xi was affected by his beautiful smile. You look good today.


    Blushing, Jiang Yuning said, Didnt you say that we need to appear in court as witnesses? We need to dress formally for that kind of asion.


    I found that you have a great taste, Nian Xi said honestly. Ive met quite a few scientists and most of them havent got any fashion sense. They dress sort of old fashioned.


    Uncle Han picked out the suit for me. Jiang Yuming felt shy hearing thepliment.

 Chapter 1202. Xi, Your Face Is so Soft

    Chapter 1202. Xi, Your Face Is so Soft


    No wonder Nian Xi thought.


    Uncle Han has a great taste, said Nian Xi.


    Jiang Yuning was slightly unhappy. She first said he had a great taste, but then gave the credit to Uncle Han.


    Uncle Han has a great taste indeed, but I look good in this suit mainly because Im tall, he argued with a low voice.


    He didnt mention his body shape. After all, her ex-boyfriend was a muscr guy.


    Nian Xi saw him pouting, wanted tough. She did nothing but giving Uncle Han apliment. Was he jealous of Uncle Han?


    Youre right. Youre tall, she said. Tall guys could easily make a suit look great.


    Only after hearing thatpliment from her did Jiang Yuning smile.


    Is your hands getting better? Nian Xi asked.


    The doctor will take out the stitches today, Jiang Yuning looked at her expectantly, said, Do you have time to go with me? How about we go together after the trial?


    Nian Xi shook her head with a frown, said, I cant go with you. Today is my nephews hundred-day-old party.


    Jiang Yuning was disappointed. Should he go to her nephews party too?


    Nian Xi liked polite boys. Would it be impolite for him not to go?


    What about I I go with you?


    Eh? Nian Xi wasnt expecting that.


    Dont you want me to go? Jiang Yuning wore a slightly sad look on his face.


    I do, Nian xi suffered a headache. If she turned him down, his feelings would certainly be hurt.


    However, if she brought him to the party, her parents and other families would probably go crazy. They would ask him tons of questions.

 Chapter 1203. As Your Punishment, Let Me Be Your Queen

    Chapter 1203. As Your Punishment, Let Me Be Your Queen


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    She suspected if the boy was pretending to be silly so he could take advantage of her.


    No? Seeing the look on her face, Jiang Yuning reached out a hand and said, Then you can pinch my hand.


    Nian Xi nced at his slender fingers. He did a lot of experiments, so he had callused on his palm. However, his fingers were all perfectly shaped.


    In your dream, Nian Xi pped on his palm, then said, As your punishment, let me be your queen.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. A short whileter, he repeated the word with a dry voice, Queen.


    Nian Xi coughed slightly, said, You only need to see me as your queen, dont need to actually call me that.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, said, You are already my queen.


    If she wasnt his queen, why would he listen to every word she says and always think of her as his top priority?


    Hearing that, Nian Xi felt sweet. She couldnt help but reached out both hands to rub the boys face. His skin was almost as soft as tofu. She even wondered what he always ate to make his skin so great.


    Jiang Yunings face was even twisted by Nian Xis hands. He didnt know what kind of hand cream she wore, but her hands smelt so nice.


    Queen eh, I mean, Xi, can I go to your nephews party? Jiang Yuning brought up the original topic.


    Nian Xi thought for a moment, then responded to him seriously, If its my birthday, Ill certainly invite you. But now, youre not my boyfriend yet. If I brought you home, my family would think that youre already my boyfriend, and theyd ask you all kinds of questions, such as what is your job and how old are you. You dont like talking, so it would be hard for you. Besides, I think were not there yet. We shouldnt give each other pressure. You have no idea how scary my families can be.


    Oh, Jiang Yuning was a little disappointed. I was going to give your nephew a little gift.


    What is it? Nian Xi was curious. Normally, a gift from a scientist would be special.


    This, Jiang Yuning took out a tiny blue watch from his pocket, This is a watch I recently developed for children. This watch has GPS, can make phone calls, remotely monitor, y music, take photos and videos. Of course, those arent important.


    Nian Xi clicked her tongue with surprise. Those functions werent even important.


    Some watches for children like that could be found in the market, but none of those had so many functions.


    Its most important function is to monitor childrens body condition twenty-four hours a day, said Jiang Yuning with a serious face, There is a sensor on the back of the watch. It senses the maic field of the human body through the skin. The watch can detect any change in the babys body in no time. It also contained the data of all known human diseases. When the baby isnt feeling well, the watch can urately find out the cause, such as fever, stomachache, inmmation of the throat. It can read over a hundred symptoms.


    So so powerful? Nian Xi was dumbfounded.


    She didnt have children, but she heard from some parents that before the babies learned to talk, all they could do when feeling unwell was to cry. The parents could feel so troubled sometimes because they didnt know what was wrong with their babies.


    Things would be so much easier with that watch.


    Em, Jiang Yuning nodded, I think this watch wille into the market next year. Many new parents could neglect their babies conditions because theyreck experience. Every year, a lot of babies died for that kind of reason. Thats why I developed this watch. You can try it on if you dont believe me.


    Can I? Nian Xi was surprised.


    Of course.

 Chapter 1204. You Havent Made Love This Month

    Chapter 1204. You Haven''t Made Love This Month


    Nian Xi put it on. About ten secondster, the watch reportedafter corpus luteum atrophic, estrogen and progesterone secrete drop subsequently, the endometrium cannot get the support of the sex hormone, necrosed and fell off, started the menstruation


    Nian Xi was nonplussed by the message.


    Jiang Yuning sat there gape-mouthed.


    The weird silencested a few seconds. Jiang Yuning worried that Nian Xi might not understand what the watch reported, so he offered an exnation, It means you havent made love this month. You are not pregnant, so youre on your period


    Shut up. A red-faced Nian Xi glowered at him. What do you mean by making love? Where did you learn that?


    Did that silly boy intend to embarrass her to death?


    He might not feel ashamed, but she did!


    I learned it from the inte. Being yelled at made Jiang Yuning feel uneasy. Scientifically, its called sexual intercourse. But I think that word shouldnt be used between a boy and a girl. So I said make love.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to think or say. Was make love an indirect term? She didnt utter another word.


    The watch continued reportingThe menstrual flow is less than thirty millimeters, less than the normal amount. Irregr work and rest might cause endocrine dyscrasia. An unhealthy diet could hurt the spleen


    Thats wrong. Nian Xi took off the watch and said, Im not on my period.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her straight in the eye and said, Its telling you whats happening inside your body. Even though youre not on your period, you soon will be. Xi, girls should take good care of their bodies. You rarely eat on time and you always workte. If you dont get enough rest, youll be unhealthy.


    Okay, okay. I get it. Nian Xi dug her ear. She couldnt bear listening to him, so she started the engine.


    But Jiang Yuning was still worried. Shyly, he asked her, Xi, do you have pads?


    Nian Xi was boiling. She ignored him.


    If you dont, youd better buy some. Jiang Yuning continued, Otherwise, it might be problematic if your menstruation suddenly starts.


    Stop talking. I need to concentrate when I drive. Nian Xi refused to admit the watch was right.


    How could it magically predict her menstruation? That was impossible.


    After driving a while, Nian Xi stopped the car and bought some breakfast, sharing it with Jiang Yuning.


    After arriving at the courthouse, Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning, the prosecutor, and Fang Qi sat together, talking about the case.


    The prosecutor said, The defendant might admit that he liked Duan Yang but will deny that he murdered him and attempted to murder Officer Nian and Professor Jiang. But you dont need to worry. The fire department has provided us with relevant evidence. Im eighty percent confident about the case.


    Great. We cant let the murderer get away, said Nian Xi through clenched teeth.


    The hearing will start in twenty minutes. Lets all take a break and gather our thoughts. Later, the defendantswyer will question the two of you. Professor Jiang, I understand this is the first time youve appeared in court The prosecutor looked at him with a concerned expression. I heard from Nian Xi that you dont like talking. You will be expected to answer the questions.


    Ill listen to Nian Xi. Jiang Yuning nodded.


    The prosecutor gave the two an encouraging look.


    I want to go to the supermarket outside. I need to buy something, said Jiang Yuning.


    Go.


    Watching him leave, a thought popped into Nain Xis head: She buried her forehead in her palms, hoping she was wrong.

 Chapter 1205. Meet His Rival in Love

    Chapter 1205. Meet His Rival in Love


    Jiang Yuning walked into the supermarket, awkwardly lingered before the goods shelf for a while.


    Finally, he found pads. There were so many kinds of pads, and he didnt know which one to choose. It was his first time buying pads for a girl. Merely looking at those pads made him blush.


    Atst, he gathered his courage and bought the most expensive one.


    As he went to the checkout counter, a tall and young man walked in. The young man was wearing a ck leather jacket, a pair of jeans. He had eagle eyes and dashing eyebrows.


    Jiang Yuning rarely paid attention to other people. However, he froze when his wandering eyes swept across the young man.


    Nian Xi had shown him a photo of her ex-boyfriend back when they were in France. Jiang Yuning had a great memory, and he paid great attention to the guy in the photo. Therefore, he instantly recognized him in the supermarket.


    The guy in the photo had a brush cut. His hair had grown slightly longer.


    He was really strong. Jiang Yuning looked at himself, found himself skinny indeed.


    Please give me a pack of cigarettes, Feng Ji Chuan took his wallet. He noticed that the guy beside him was staring at him.


    He nced at that person. The guy was as stall as himself, good-looking wearing a neat suit, seeming like a polite intellectual.


    Sure The cashier was ady. Seeing the two gorgeous men before the counter, she felt a little dizzy.


    She had worked in the supermarket for long, but it was her first time seeing such two handsome guys at one time. One of them was muscr, and the other was as pretty as a prince.


    It was like a dream.


    She wondered which lucky girl could be with one of them. Those two guys were both so handsome.


    What kind of cigarette do you want?


    Paektu Mountain.


    The cashier took out the cigarette. As Feng Ji Chuan was taking cash from his wallet, the cashier said to Jiang Yuning, Can you please give me what you want to buy?


    Jiang Yuning embarrassedly took out the pack of pads from behind his body.


    Is this for your girlfriend? The cashier smiled, Youre such a nice boyfriend.


    Emm, Jiang Yuning murmured to respond. Hecked confidence in front of Feng Ji Chuan, but somehow, he didnt deny.


    Feng Ji Chuan took another nce at him, then picked up the cigarette and left.


    Jiang Yuning let out a breath. After paying for the pads, he slowly walked toward the court.


    Feng Ji Chuan was about ten meters before him. He was walking fast, seemingly going for the hearing.


    So, Ill be seeing him again? Jiang Yuning thought.


    Am I gonna meet my rival in love face to face?


    Jiang Yuning instantly grew nervous, felt very stressed.


    He had no experience facing rivals in love at all. The guy seemed not easy to deal with.


    He felt so bothered, so he hurriedly called Uncle Han for help, I met my rival in love. Xis ex-boyfriend.


    Sooner orter, Uncle Han encouraged him, Hes her ex. Why are you so nervous? Hes not his boyfriend. You need to remember that youre the one who saved her from the fire scene.


    The ex is handsome indeed, Jiang Yuning was still unhappy.


    Hehe, isnt Officer Nians brother handsome too? A girl like her should be immune to handsome guys since long ago. Havent you heard that the people who eat pork every day could get tired of pork easily?


    Really?


    Mr. Jiang, just go. If you spent more time talking to me, the ex might have a chance talking to Officer Nian, said Uncle Han.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yuning instantly panicked. He hurriedly quickened his pace and headed upstairs.


    Nian Xi was standing at the door of the courtroom, looking at her watch. The hearing was going to start soon. Where had Jiang Yuning been? Why hadnt hee back yet?

 Chapter 1206. He Didnt Know He Was Professor Jiang

    Chapter 1206. He Didn''t Know He Was Professor Jiang


    At that time, Feng Ji Chuan came downstairs.


    Fang Qi greeted him and said, What brought you here? Arent you busy today?


    I came here to take a look. Feng Ji Chuan looked at Nian Xi ndly. Afterall, this is your first official case.


    Nian Xi nodded peacefully.


    Fang Qi gave them a meaningful nce. He then thought of Jiang Yuning and became a little nervous. It seemed that not only the trial was going to be intense today; there would be a great show out of the court too.


    He was a little worried about Professor Jiang. Professor Jiang was such a fragile person. He wondered if he would be crushed by Feng Ji Chuan.


    Why are you two alone here? Where are the other witnesses? said Feng Ji Chuan. He was curious about Jiang Yuning.


    The school manager has arrived. The professor left to buy something. As Nian Xi spoke, Jiang Yuning showed up. She hurriedly waved at him.


    Jiang Yuning had seen Feng Ji Chuan. His heart missed a beat. He was right.


    Unhappily, he walked to Nian Xi.


    Feng Ji Chuan turned to look at him, then paused briefly with surprise. You.


    He recalled what Jiang Yuning bought from the shop earlier. He felt pain as if his heart was cut by something.


    Hi. Jiang Yuning nodded at him, then moved to Nian Xis side.


    Nian Xi nced at the two guys, then furrowed her eyebrows. She did not want the two of them to see each other because she didnt want trouble. Jiang Yuning seemed to be quite fragile. She didnt want anything to happen to affect the trial.


    Do you guys know each other?


    We met downstairs in the shop, said Feng Ji Chuan ndly. I didnt know he was Professor Jiang.


    Nian Xi felt embarrassed and wondered if Feng Ji Chuan saw Jiang Yuning buying pads.


    What a nerd. She had told him that she was not on her period, yet he insisted on believing it.


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head, with his hand holding the pads in his pocket. He felt so annoyed. He admitted that he was buying the pads for his girlfriend back in the shop. Hopefully, Feng Ji Chuan wouldnt ask Nian Xi about it. If Nian Xi denied it, he would be so embarrassed.


    As the atmosphere was turning weird, Fang Qi hurriedly started talking whileughing saying, Are you surprised to know that Professor Jiang is not one of those old-school scientists, but turns out to be so pretty and polite?


    Hm, Feng Ji Chuan responded, then turned and said to Nian Xi, When will you go to the party? I didnt drive my car, so I dont know where the ce is. How about you give me a ride?


    Jiang Yuning was stunned at first, then he figured it out. He felt as if his heart was like an erupting volcano. The scorching hotva burned his internal organs.


    She refused to take him to the party. She was going to attend her nephews party with Feng Ji Chuan.


    He was not important to her at all.


    Nian Xi nced at him, noticing the sullen look on his face. She had a headache. Feng Ji Chuans words could easily cause misunderstandings. I need to drive Yuning to his ceter, so Ill probably bete. You can take a taxi; the driver will know where the ce is.


    She called him Yuning. Hearing that, Jiang Yuning started to feel sweet in his heart again.


    So lets drive Professor Jiang home together, said Feng Ji Chuan. Im in no rush. Its gonna be boring if I get there too early.


    My brother and Si will both be there. Nian Xi felt troubled. What on earth was happening to Feng Ji Chuan? He was being weird.


    Junting needs to keep his wife and sonpany, while Xiao Si is spending every day following behind Ji Nuanyi now, Feng Ji Chuan exined.


    Seeing the situation getting harder and harder for Nian Xi, Fang Qi hurriedly said, The trial is starting. Lets go in.

 Chapter 1207. Nian Xi Is Giving Me A Compliment. Did You Seen That?

    Chapter 1207. Nian Xi Is Giving Me A Compliment. Did You Seen That?


    Nian Xi felt relieved as she hurriedly brought Jiang Yuning in.


    The two of them were both victims and witnesses. They were supposed to sit separately. However, as Jiang Yuning had mild autism, the judge let them sit together so they could look after each other.


    Feng Ji Chuan wasnt allowed to sit with them. He could only sit in the back.


    After sitting down, Jiang Yuning nced at Feng Ji Chuan, then said to Nian Xi with a muffled voice, Youre going to your nephews party with him.


    Strong jealousy could be sensed in the air. Nian Xi smiled and said, Hes a good friend of my brother. They grew up together, so its normal hes invited.


    I see. Jiang Yuning understood. However, it made him feel even worse than before. He grew up with your brother, so, he grew up with you too. You two were childhood lovers.


    Nian Xi was surprised that he even knew the term, childhood lover.


    What am I? Jiang Yuning was sad. I am only your cleaning guy.


    Eh-hem. Nian Xi coughed slightly. You are my cleaning guy, and my hero who saved me from a fire scene.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. He spent a short while thinking, then asked her, Is the hero more important or the childhood lover?


    Guess. Nian Xi nced at him.


    How silly are you? Havent you watched the movie, A Chinese Odyssey? she thought.


    I dont know. Im stupid, Jiang Yuning said painfully.


    Nian Xiughed.


    Im d youre aware of that, she thought. But, youre a scientist. Arent you ashamed to call yourself stupid?


    Ask Uncle Han about it, Nian Xi said. She then followed the judge into the trial room.


    The room fell into silence. Nian Yuning seemed to want to say something else, but Nian Xi hurriedly stopped him.


    Be quiet. The trial is going to start. Focus.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning didnt care about the trial, but he understood how important it was for Nian Xi.


    The prosecutor first stated Yang Wenzhis crimes, then asked Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning about the process of the crime.


    When it was Jiang Yunings turn to answer questions, the prosecutor asked him, ording to Officer Nian, you pushed her away in time because you had night vision sses and a watch that can monitor the changes of the maic field on the scene. So back then, you witnessed how the shelf fell. Am I right?


    Jiang Yuning nodded and said, Im doing relevant studies. When I walked into thatb, I already figured out theb was for quantum electric shock experiments. Normally, the students need to shut down the power before leaving. When I went in, I noticed that the devices in theb were powered off. Based on how fast theb was set on fire, the massive fire was produced within two to four seconds. In less than one minute, the entireb was burning. To do that, the devices in theb had to be turned on to umte power five minutes in advance. It means that Yang Wenzhi sneakily turned the power on not long after we got in.


    The prosecutor said to the judge, That means Yang Wenzhi nned to burn the two of them to death since they went into theb. That is premeditated murder. Theb had a burr-resistant window, and the door was locked. Except for fully equipped firemen, no ordinary person could escape from that sealed room.


    As Jiang Yuning sat down, Nian Xi quietly gave him a thumbs-up.


    Jiang Yuning instantly felt sweet in his heart, as if he had just eaten a full jar of honey. He couldnt help but take another nce at Feng Ji Chuan.


    Nian Xi isplimenting me. Did you see that?

 Chapter 1208. I Like Her

    Chapter 1208. I Like Her


    Chen Kaiwen, Yang Wenzhiswyer stood up and said, Professor Jiang, I have a few questions for you.


    Jiang Yuning stood up again.


    Chen Kaiwen said, I want to know why you went into theb with Officer Nian. After all, you are not a police officer.


    Jiang Yuning responded with, I am a guest professor at Xia City University. I have known Officer Nian for a long time. Yang Wenzhi is a student in the physics department. Officer Nian wanted to consult me about someb-rted questions, such as the registration book that was mentioned earlier. I know aboutbs.


    Thewyer nodded and said, Professor Jiang, do you fancy Officer Nian?


    That question made some people in the trial room start to whisper to each other.


    In the back, Feng Ji Chuan clenched his fists.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. Hearing that question being asked under the witness of so many people, his cheeks turned red.


    The prosecutor stood up and said, That has nothing to do with the case. That is about Professor Jiangs private life.


    I think its rted to the case. Lawyer Chen smiled and said, If Professor Jiang is into Officer Nian, he would do whatever she said. So, his testimony can be unreliable. Your Honor, I hope you can ask Professor Jiang to answer the question.


    The judge furrowed his brows slightly. But still, he nodded and said to Jiang Yuning, Please answer the question honestly.


    Nian Xi knitted her brows. Being stared at by all the people on the scene, Jiang Yunings breath turned shallower and shallower. After about ten seconds of silence, he answered the question with a low voice, I am fond of her. His cheeks blushed scarlet.


    After saying that, he quickly dropped his head.


    Nian Xi blushed as well.


    She knew that Jiang Yuning liked her since long ago. However, she did feel shy to hear him admit that in front of so many people.


    She felt a little embarrassed under the situation, not to mention Jiang Yuning himself.


    Lawyer Chen smiled. Did you see Yang Wenzhi close the door by himself?


    No, Jiang Yuning said.


    Lawyer Chen said to the judge, Officer Nian nor Professor Chen saw Mr. Yang close the door, meaning that what Professor Jiang said was only a guess. He is not reliable as a witness. After all, he was a victim too. Professor Jiang and Officer Nian might think of Mr. Yang as the murderer who killed Duan Yang, because they believe he guided them into theb and caused them to suffer the fire. As for the registration book, it proves that Duan Yang was alive when Yang Wenzhi entered theb, but it doesnt prove that Yang Wenzhi murdered Duan Yang. It could be someone else who entered theb after Yang Wenzhi left.


    I saw Yang Wenzhi give me a perky smile. I am a police officer. I would never lie, Nian Xi said angrily.


    Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, then said with a deep voice, I admit that I like Officer Nian. However, Ive been devoted to my science career since I graduated from school. I have taken part in countless science projects. I have also attended international academic activities. I can tell the difference between personal feelings and professional things. That is the basic quality that a scientist should have. Xia City University was founded twenty years ago. Their fire protection has always been great. No serious fire like the one I witnessed had ever happened in the university before. I dont think any ident like that could ever happen in the university unless It was caused by someone on purpose. Mr. Chen, if you think what I said isnt right, I suggest you consult other physics professors about it. I believe they will all agree with me.


    The prosecutor quickly handed up some material. I have consulted some physics professors about it. They have analyzed the case, and this is the result. They all agreed with Professor Jiang. And these are the contributions that Professor Jiang has made for science during the past decade. Lawyer Chen, what you said just now was disrespect to a scientist, who has been bringing honor to his country.

 Chapter 1209. My… My Relationship With Nian Xi Is Special

    Chapter 1209. My�� My Rtionship With Nian Xi Is Special


    The look on Lawyer Chens face turned slightly sour.


    Atst, the prosecutor stated the process of the crime in detail and proposed a heavy punishment for the defendant. Yang Wenzhi was attracted to Duan Yang. He was gay, and nothing is wrong with that. However, he killed Duan Yang because of his extreme obsession with him. He has some psychological problems. When the police found evidence against him, he stayed calm, made a n and attempted to murder Officer Nian and professor Jiang, meaning that he is a cold-blooded murderer. If we set someone like that free today, the people around him might be facing danger.


    Atst, the court found Yang Wenzhi guilty and sentenced him to life in prison and deprival of political right for life.


    As the case was over, Nian Xi excitedly stood up. She prepared to give Jiang Yuning a greatpliment. However, before that, she suddenly felt a warm stream gush out of the lower part of her body.


    She froze.


    Jiang Yuning turned to look at her. He was expecting her topliment him again. However, she was only sitting there quietly. He was slightly disappointed.


    Xi, what do you think of my performance? he indirectly asked her.


    Great. You did a very good job. When he was giving thest part of his speech, Nian Xi found him super handsome, like how she felt back in Paris, when he outshone the scientists from the other countries.


    She wanted very much to give him a huge hug.


    But at that moment


    She wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. His bloody watch was right.


    Her period was not supposed to start that day, but it started ahead of schedule. Was her body having problems?


    Just that? Jiang Yuning was very disappointed. No extrapliment?


    At that time, Fang Qi walked over, hugged him tightly and patted him hard on the back, saying, Professor Jiang, thank you! You are amazing! You are marvelous! I seriously admire you.


    Jiang Yuning could hardly breathe.


    He was so disappointed and so sad. If only Nian Xi hugged him like that.


    When Fang Qi let go of him, he gave him a nce with dislike.


    Fang Qiughed. Professor Jiang, I know that Im not Nian Xi. You dont need to make it so obvious.


    Jiang Yuning ignored him, but turned to Nian Xi and said, Ill like it if you can hug me that way.


    Nian Xi stayed silent.


    Fang Qi winked at her and then signaled for her to hug Jiang Yuning.


    Nian Xi almost burst in tears. At that very moment, Feng Ji Chuan walked over and said, Professor Jiang, thank you very much. If it wasnt for you, Nian Xi wouldnt be able to solve the case so soon.


    You dont need to thank me. My my rtionship with Nian Xi is special. He refused to show any sign of weakness in front of Feng Ji Chuan.


    After saying that, he felt slightly embarrassed. If Nian Xi asked him about his rtionship with her, he would tell her that he was her cleaning guy.


    Feng Ji Chuan raised his brows and said, I know. You said it during the trial. Im not surprised though. Its normal for a pretty girl like Nian Xi to have suitors. Ive been fond of her too. Sadly, I was too stupid to not cherish her back then. Now, I have realized how important she is to me. I will not give up.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. Was Feng Ji Chuan challenging him? He wasnt prepared for that at all.


    I wont give up either, he hurriedly said. I know how to cherish someone. I wont make your mistake.


    The two men looked at each other in the eyes.


    Nian Xi buried her forehead in her palms. Was it time for a war to start? She was on her period, so all she wanted to do at the moment was to storm into the bathroom.

 Chapter 1210. Has He Defeated His Rival in Love, Just Like That?

    Chapter 1210. Has He Defeated His Rival in Love, Just Like That?


    Nian Xi, lets go. Its gettingte. Feng Ji Chuan turned his eyes to Nian Xi, who had been sitting on the chair the whole time.


    Hmm, you go first. I still have something to do. Nian Xi hurriedly packed her stuff on the table, then quickly pulled on Jiang Yunings hand and ran out of the trial room.


    Looking at their backs, Feng Ji Chuans face instantly turned blue.


    Fang Qi sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, Ji Chuan. Let bygones be bygones. Put it down. You are a great man and you have a bright future. Dont let yourself sink for just one rtionship.


    Feng Ji Chuan gave a bitter smile and responded with, Before, my rtionship wasnt my priority. However, when I lost her, I realized how important she was to me. I was not thoughtful enough. I was never nice to her enough. Now, I just want another chance. Seeing her with another guy doesnt feel good. If I failed, I guess its because we werent meant to be together.


    Um, Im d youre thinking that way.


    Out of the trial room, the surprised Jiang Yuning let himself be dragged forward by Nian Xi.


    He looked at her hand that was holding his; he felt like he was in a dream.


    Nian Xi held his hand in front of her ex-boyfriend. She chose him over her ex-boyfriend, didnt she?


    Did he win? Had he defeated his rival in love, just like that?


    He smiled all the way, gazing at the back of Nian Xis head. When Nian Xi stopped running, he sensed an unpleasant odor. He raised his head and found himself standing in front of the toilet.


    Give me a pad. Nian Xi reached out a hand toward him eagerly.


    Are you on your period? Jiang Yuning blinked.


    Shut up. Nian Xis cheeks were red.


    So you held my hand because you want the pads. Jiang Yuning felt as someone had just poured a bucket of ice water onto his head. He was so frustrated. You didnt hold my hand because you chose me.


    Nian Xi clenched her teeth and said, Is now the time to talk about that? Give me the pads.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning clumsily took out a bag of pads from his pocket, put it in her hand and said, How do you know that I have pads?


    You went out earlier. I knew what you were doing. Nian Xi picked up the pads and went into thedys room.


    Jiang Yuning stood by the door for a few minutes. He was disappointed, but also satisfied.


    Nian Xi used the pads that he bought. It was so nice.


    Her pants werent stained, were they? Jiang Yuning was worried. He hurriedly took off his coat.


    In the bathroom, Nian Xi checked her pants. Thankfully, she dealt with it in time and her pants werent stained yet.


    Soon, she came out of the bathroom and found Jiang Yuning wearing only a shirt. His coat was on his arm.


    Looking at him, she felt so confused. Earlier, she said his invention wasnt good, but unexpectedly, it was amazing.


    That watch could be so helpful for girls, and also for her nephew.


    The air conditioner isnt on. Why did you take off your coat? Be careful, you might catch a cold, Nian Xi said reminding him.


    Jiang Yuning shyly nced at her crotch area.


    What? Seeing the look in his eyes, Nian Xi blushed.


    I worried that your pants might be stained. I took off my coat so you can wrap it around your waist to cover the stain, Jiang Yuning said.


    My pants are fine. Nian Xi felt touched. Fortunately, you got me some pads. Im sorry forining about your invention.


    Its okay. As long as Im sure my invention is working well. Jiang Yuning smiled shyly.

 Chapter 1211. I Have Something Even Better. Would You like to Try?

    Chapter 1211. I Have Something Even Better. Would You like to Try?


    You are amazing. Nian Xi sighed.


    I have something even better. Would you like to try? Jiang Yuning said smiling.


    Nian Xi thought his words sounded a bit weird. Oh no, this could lead to some misunderstandings.


    She couldnt help but nce at his lower body.


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head to follow her eyes, then said to her, I said I have something even better. Why are you looking at my feet?


    Nian Xi cleared her throat, realizing she might have misunderstood him.


    Eh That watch of yours is great. Can you give it to my nephew? Nian Xi, being thick-skinned, looked at him and blinked her watery eyes.


    It was the first time she made such a tempting face in front of him. Jiang Yuning stopped breathing. He almost said yes.


    The mere thought of Nian Xi attending the party with Feng Ji Chuan made Jiang Yuning shake his head quickly. No way, he said.


    Nian Xi pulled a long face. She didnt expect him to say no to the charming and adorable side of her. Then how about you give it to me?


    No. Jiang Yuning turned around and gave her an annoyed look. Not unless I can give it to your nephew myself.


    He has even learned to threaten me. Im impressed, Nian Xi thought.


    Are you gonna turn me down?


    Im not turning you down. Jiang Yuning bit his lip and said, Ill give it to your nephew if I can attend his party myself.


    You are threatening me, Nian Xi said through clenched teeth.


    Its not like I have to go to the party, Jiang Yuning murmured in a low voice.


    He didnt mean to threaten her. But the thought of Nian Xi having dinnerter with Feng Ji Chuan made him uneasy.


    Alright, Ill take you to the party. Nian Xi gave up struggling for the sake of her nephew. But can you give me a watch like that too after the party?


    Hearing her words, Jiang Yuning turned around and responded with a happy smile, Ill give you anything you want.


    Rolling her eyes, Nian Xi said, Youre just saying that. I asked you for the watch just now and you said no to me twice.


    Its because Feng Ji Chuan will be at the party. I dont like that. Jiang Yuning told her the truth.


    Why? I held your hand and ran out of the room just now, right in front of him. Nian Xiughed.


    You wouldnt have held my hand if I didnt have pads, said Jiang Yuning, dropping his head disappointedly.


    Nian Xi was surprised. She didnt expect him to grasp things so clearly sometimes.


    She stayed silent for a while, then said, But, you bought me what I needed the most. You may not believe it, but it was the first time a boy ever bought pads for me. Youre very thoughtful.


    Didnt you have a boyfriend before? Jiang Yuning was confused.


    He was in the army, away from home. If he could havee back once a year, Id have been so happy. After he was discharged, he came home and we broke up. I think we had been together way too long because we rarely saw each other. Normally, we only talked on the phone. What we showed each other were our best sides. When we finally had a chance to spend every day together, we realized we werentpatible. So please dont be jealous of him. If he and I could get back together, we would have done that long ago.


    Jiang Yunings eyes sparkled. It was the first time she talked to him about Feng Ji Chuan.


    Before that, he always worried that he might not measure up to him and that they might get back together again.


    Now he felt reassured.


    Also, you were awesome during the trial. Nian Xi stepped forward and hugged him. Thank you for giving the criminal the punishment he deserves.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned.


    Howe Nian Xi suddenly hugged him near the toilet?


    He wasnt prepared for that at all.


    Just now, when Fang Qi hugged him, he felt as if a mountain wasid upon him. However, when Nian Xi hugged him, he felt as if a great burden was lifted and he was floating high above the clouds.

 Chapter 1212. I Need to Start Saving Money for Marriage

    Chapter 1212. I Need to Start Saving Money for Marriage


    Also, Nian Xis chest was so soft. It was as soft as thest time.


    He hesitated to raise his arms to hold her tight. While he was struggling, Nian Xis phone suddenly rang.


    She let go of him and answered the call.


    Jiang Yuning silentlyined about the call. Why did that person have to call her at that very moment? So annoying. He had almost held her in his arms.


    Its my mom. She told me to hurry. After ending the call, Nian Xi said to him, Lets go.


    Jiang Yuning nodded quickly. After walking a while, he looked at the files in Nian Xis hands and said, Let me carry your things.


    Nian Xi turned back, saw the expectant look in his eyes. She hesitated for a few seconds, then handed him everything in her hands.


    She had a free bag carrier. There was no reason for her not to use him.


    In the car, Nian Xi said to him, Later, youll meet my parents and other elders in my family. Be sure to greet them. Dont act likest time when you were at my brothers ce. My mom is fine, but my father and grandparents take courtesy seriously.


    Alright. Jiang Yuning nodded and said, Ive already met your father.


    Recalling that ridiculous meeting, Nian Xi felt a headacheing on.


    I think your father is a nice person. Jiang Yuning continued with, We had a great time together.


    Nian Xis mouth corners twitched. Did he have some misunderstandings about the terms great time? Her father was furious back then.


    Are you sure?


    Yeah. Jiang Yuning nodded and blinked his eyes.


    Alright. Nian Xi wasnt sure how to respond to that, so she asked him another question, What about my brother?


    Also nice. Jiang Yuning nodded. He treated me to shumai. The shumai was delicious. He is a good person.


    Who do you consider not good?


    The bad guys. Jiang Yuning thought for a moment before answering her question.


    Nian Xi kept driving in silence. At first, she worried that he might have his feelings hurt when he met her family. Now, it turned out she didnt need to worry about that at all.


    On their way there, Nian Xi realized that she didnt have enough cash. She needed to prepare her nephew a big red envelope full of cash.


    She pulled over and said to Jiang Yuning, Wait here. Im going to get some cash.


    I have cash. Jiang Yuning immediately took out his cash.


    Nian Xi looked at his wallet, which was filled with a stack of bills. Only rich old people carried so much cash nowadays.


    I need cash because I have to prepare my nephew a red envelope, she said.


    Okay. Jiang Yuning nodded and put his wallet in her hand and said, I have money.


    Nian Xi looked at the persistent boy and chuckled. I cant use your money just yet. If its only a small amount of money, I wouldnt mind. But I need over ten-thousand yuan this time.


    Jiang Yuning furrowed his eyebrows. He wanted so much for Nian Xi to spend his money. Her refusal made him feel not so good.


    I want to give you all my money, he said without thinking when Nian Xi opened the door and got out of the car.


    Nian Xi was dazed. She turned around and saw the serious look on Jiang Yunings face. She almost jumped on him and kissed him on the lips.


    How could he be so adorable! However, she told herself that as a girl, she needed to restrain herself.


    Be patient. Save your money. One day, youll be giving me a huge sum of money at one time. she winked at him, then left.


    Jiang Yuning pressed a hand on his heart. Did Nian Xi just wink at him? He felt as if he was hit by an electric current.


    Or was it a thunderbolt?


    By the time Nian Xi returned with her cash, Jiang Yuning was counting his money. After that, he turned to Nian Xi and said to her, From this day on, I wont spend more than one yuan on myself every day. Ill save the rest of my money for you.


    The sincere look on his face turned her heart to mush. Um you dont need to save money that hard. You can always earn more.


    Say nothing. I have already made my decision. Jiang Yuning seriously shook his head and said, I need to start saving money for marriage

 Chapter 1213. His First Kiss Was Taken Without Warning

    Chapter 1213. His First Kiss Was Taken Without Warning


    When did I say that Ill marry you? Nian Xi said to him jokingly.


    Jiang Yuning felt embarrassed under her gaze. I didnt say Ill be saving my money for you, he murmured.


    What? Nian Xi had very sharp ears. She was not happy to hear that. She leaned toward him aggressively, said, Youre not saving your money for me? Whom are you saving your money for then?


    Under that threatening look in her eyes, Jiang Yuning shrank toward the window, curled up his body. He sniffed at her, then said, Xi, you smell so nice.


    Are you trying to distract me? Nian Xi lowered her head further and further, attempted to burn him with her sharp eyes.


    Jiang Yuning stopped trying to avoid her, but stared at her straight in the eyes. She wasing closer and closer to him, and his heart was thumping.


    Abruptly, Nian Xi realized that she couldnt go anywhere closer to him, or her lips wouldnd on his cheek. Instantly, she felt a little awkward.


    As she prepared to move away, Jiang Yuning suddenly held her arms and said with a weak voice, I want that person to be you, if its possible.


    The two of them were so close to each other. His eyes were sparkling before hers. His skin was so tender, and his pretty lips looked pink and soft.


    How could a boys lips look so beautiful, even without lipsticks?


    Nian Xi was awfully tempted by his good-look. She fixed her eyes on his lips, then leaned forward and gave him a kiss.


    Jiang Yuning popped his eyes. He heard thunders from inside his head.


    That was just a shallow kiss, but he felt so overwhelmed.


    She kissed him.


    His first kiss was taken without warning.


    That was


    He instantly blushed scarlet, pressed his lips together.


    Her lips tasted great. However, the kiss happened so fast that he couldnt even react.


    Nian Xi realized what she had done. She even wanted to crawl under the car.


    What did she do!


    She kissed a man on his lips!


    His lips were so soft, though. Those lips were like jelly.


    That was probably because he spent most of his time in theb, without exposing his lips in the sunlight and the wind.


    Seeing the boy widely opened his eyes, looked like a baby deer, Nian Xi coughed awkwardly, then said with a dry voice, Im probably too thirsty.


    You are thirsty, so you kissed me?


    You have already kissed me once, so why dont you kiss me again?


    Jiang Yuning sounded not so happy.


    Nian Xi had her face reddened. In for a penny, in for a pond. She decided to be thick-skinned. I kissed you, so what. Whats the big deal?


    You have to be responsible for me, Jiang Yuning gathered his courage, said, That was my first kiss.


    Didnt you give your first kiss to your parents? Nian Xi snorted.


    That was my first time being kissed by a girl, Jiang Yuning touched his own lips, said, Im yours now.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    She didnt foresee that result.


    I didnt force you just now. You kissed me yourself. As Nian Xi stayed silent, Jiang Yuning said with a grievance.


    Youre right.


    Nian Xi spent a short while in silence. She felt as if her head was aching. She nned to take it slowly. Why on earth did she kiss him without thinking?


    He was good-looking indeed, but she should not kiss him just like that.


    She has a handsome brother. Her sister-inws brother was handsome too. She should be immune to good-looking boys.


    If Nian Junting knew about that, he would definitelyugh at her.


    Okay, Ill be responsible for you, but, dont tell anyone else about it, Yan Su said to him with a very serious look.


    About what? Jiang Yuning was confused, About us? No. I dont want to be your secret lover.

 Chapter 1214. So… Are We Getting Married?

    Chapter 1214. So�� Are We Getting Married?


    He shook his head quickly. He could ept her other requests but not that one.


    Nian Xi didnt answer. She wanted to know what that boy was thinking.


    Im talking about the kiss, she said weakly.


    Oh, I get it. You should have made it clear, Jiang Yuning said in a low voice, ncing at her. His delicate lip corners curved slightly in a smile. His eyes radiated pleasantness.


    Seeing that look of his, Nian Xi didnt have the heart to say another a word.


    She started the car again. Jiang Yuning nced at the area where the car was parked.


    That ce was so nice. They only parked the car there so Nian Xi could withdraw some cash, but in that ce, he was kissed by her and she was willing to take responsibility for that.


    He was feeling happy.


    On the way, something else crossed Jiang Yunings mind. Earlier, I felt I didnt have a good reason to attend the party, but now I suddenly feel confident, he said with augh.


    Why did you insist on going to the party with me then? The corners of Nian Xis mouth twitched slightly.


    Because Im jealous, said Jiang Yuning in a weak voice. I was afraid Feng Ji Chuan might steal you away from me.


    He seemed to genuinely care a lot about her. Hearing his words gave Nian Xi a warm feeling inside.


    It turned out he was not some silly boy who knew nothing else but stepping back and giving up. He knew how to fight for what he wanted.


    She liked being a queen, but sometimes she liked being a princess.


    After arriving at the parking lot of the restaurant, Nian Xi prepared the red envelope, then got out of the car. Jiang Yuning followed along next to her.


    Xi, are we together now? he asked.


    Nian Xi turned and peered into his confused eyes, unsure what to say.


    Didnt I just say Id be responsible for you now?


    Does he want me to ask him to be with me?


    Enough! She would feel even more embarrassed if this discussion continued.


    Being responsible can have many different meanings. Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and said, For example, in TV dramas when a man says that to a woman, it means he probably wants to marry her. So what about us? Are we together, or are we getting married?


    What kind of TV dramas are you watching?


    The kind where the main male character gets drunk and sleeps with a female and in the morning says to her, Ill be responsible for you.'' Jiang Yuning answered the question honestly.


    I didnt know you watched such cliched TV dramas. Nian Xi was surprised. She recalled him fixing his eyes on the TV all the time when he was waiting for her at the police station. Was he watching TV?


    asionally, said Jiang Yuning. So Are we? Getting married?


    No! Nian Xi almostughed.


    He was pretending to be weak and innocent, wasnt he?


    I only kissed you. How can we get married because of a kiss? Its not as if Ive done something else with you. Nian Xi poked his chest with her finger and said, What youre doing now is like bargaining for stolen goods.


    Alright. So were not getting married. But why are you yelling at me? Jiang Yuningined, I didnt take the initiative to kiss you. I wanted to do that countless times, but I never let myself.


    Alright. Ick self-control, okay? Nian Xi felt like crying. Also, dont you hate talking? Youre talking a lot now. Isnt your jaw tired?


    Talking to other people is exhausting, but talking to you is like a sweet burden, said Jiang Yuning smiling.


    Nian Xi let that one go. Does he not like talking? Hes pretty good at it.


    Lets go upstairs. Dinners almost ready, she said. Sigh.

 Chapter 1215. Brother, This Is Jiang Yuning, You Two Have Met

    Chapter 1215. Brother, This Is Jiang Yuning, You Two Have Met


    Nian Junting booked thergest banquet hall for his son.


    Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning took the elevator to that floor.


    When they got off, they saw Nian Junting standing by the door, holding his son in his arms.


    After guiding some guests into the hall, Nian Junting turned and saw Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning walking toward him.


    His handsome face instantly started twitching, revealing all kinds of expressions. Finally, he managed to look at the two of them.


    Brother, let me see my lovely little nephew. Nian Xi pretended not to notice the look on her brothers face but walked straight to her nephew and reached out her arms.


    The baby knew her. He gave her a big grin and almost melted her heart. She made an effort to calm herself down, kiss the baby and say to Nian Junting, Big brother, this is Niang Junting. You guys have met.


    Big brother. Jiang Yuning had been keeping Nian Xis words in mind. He quickly nodded and greeted Nian Junting.


    I am not your big brother Nian Junting thought. Then he asked him, How old are you?


    Thirty.


    So Im not your big brother. Nian Junting wore a cold face. Im only thirty, too.


    Yeah? Jiang Yuning blinked. A weird look shed across his eyes.


    What s that look in your eyes? Nian Junting grasped it and sneered. Do you think you look younger than me?


    No. Jiang Yuning hurriedly shook his head. Of course, he didnt dare admit that he did.


    Nian Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he didnt share his real feelings. But she decided to do it for him. Brother, you do look older than he does, she said.


    Run that by me again. Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly stepped before Nian Xi. He racked his brain toe up with someforting words. Dont mind me. I heard that people do tend to look older than before they had kids. Taking care of children can be quite exhausting. I might even look older than you when I have kids with Xi.


    Whos going to have kids with you?


    Who said you can have kids with Nian Xi? said brother and sister said in unison.


    Jiang Yuning rubbed his ears and added, I know Im not qualified to have kids with her yet, but Ill do my best.


    Okay, time to go inside. Nian Xi quickly put the red envelope into Apples pocket, then dragged Jiang Yuning into the hall.


    Oh no. What happened next was even worse than facing Nian Junting at the door.


    In less than a minute, all members of the Nian and Murong families rose to their feet as if they had just seen a first-ss protected animal.


    Ahead of the others, Nian Qingshan walked over with a smile and said, Xi, you have a boyfriend! A handsome one. Cool.


    Then his wife came over after him and said, He looks so gentle and polite. I can tell hes from a family of academics. Xi, I didnt know that you already had a boyfriend.


    As if that wasnt enough, Nian Junlei, a cousin of Nian Junting, chimed in, Xi, not bad. Youre all about strength, and hes gentle. You two are a perfect match for each other.


    This boy is so pretty, said Grandma Nian. He looks like a superstar, no worse than Junting. You two will have beautiful children.


    The boy is pretty, said Yu Wen. He looks so nice. I like him. Xi, I thought you were focused solely on work, but I see I was wrong. You are focusing on both your job and your romantic rtionship.


    I dont think Nian Xi is good enough for you, said Murong Ze.


    What a beautiful boy. He looks so tender. Hes young, isnt he? Murong Cheng said.

 Chapter 1216. Im so Surprised That Our Xi Is with a Scientist

    Chapter 1216. I''m so Surprised That Our Xi Is with a Scientist


    Hearing all that made Nian Xis ears numb.


    She knew that would happen.


    Ever since she broke up with Feng Ji Chuan and Nian Junting got married and had a kid, the whole family had their eyes on her.


    But why was everyoneplimenting Jiang Yuning? They made it sound as if she wasnt good enough for him.


    Those were her families, not his.


    She turned to Jiang Yuning. Surprisingly, under the gaze of so many people, he was not nervous at all.


    She couldnt tell if hisposure was due to insensitivity or to being used to asions like this.


    I know you. Nian Qingyun who had met Jiang Yuning came out of the crowd, looked at Jiang Yuning in aplicated way and said, Why are you two together again?


    Have you two already met? Hearing his words, Murong Cheng immediately looked at him with great interest. Why didnt I know that Nian Xi has such a good-looking guy in her life? No wonder she called the boys I introduced her to ugly.


    He is Jiang Yuning, a physicist, said Nian Qingyun unhappily. The one who caused a scene in Francest year.


    Oh, him. Murong Cheng figured it out. She remembered trying to talk her daughter into giving up on being with the boy. She even bought Nian Xi a dog for that purpose. The dogs name was Jiang-jiang.


    A scientist, said Grandma Nian, nodding delightedly. Im surprised our Xi is with a scientist. Good, good. Our ancestors must have been blessing the Nian Family. Weve never raised a scientist yet.


    Nian Junlei clucked his tongue and said, He doesnt look like a scientist. Xi, I thought all scientists spend their lives inbs without knowing about the outside world.


    Nian Xi kept her thoughts to herself. Why is my family acting this way?


    What are you talking about? Nian Qingyun wasnt so happy. Why do you make it sound like Xi is worse than a scientist? She is an ordinary police officer, yes. But she works so hard to serve the people. Her job is full of difficulties. From small things like finding lost cats to big things like solving tough murder cases. Everything shes done is good. Not to mention her good looks and great body. I can tell you, you wont find a better rich girl in this city.


    Nian Xi nodded.


    She deeply agreed with her father.


    Mind yournguage. Grandpa Nian furrowed his brows and reminded the others. The Feng Family is here. Theyre looking at us.


    Oh, yeah, yeah. His words reminded Grandma Nian. After all, the Nian and Feng families have been friends for many years. Xi, said Grandma Nian. Introduce us to Jiang. He looks confused.


    Hes always like this, said Nian Qingyun ndly.


    How can you say that? Grandma Nian said to him. Show some respect to the scientist. This is the first time that I, your mother, am seeing a living scientist.


    Like youve seen a dead scientist? Nian Qingyung quipped.


    Yeah. Ive seen them in textbooks.


    The others didnt know how to respond to that.


    Nian Xi nced at the confused Jiang Yuning, then started introducing him to her family.


    This is my grandmother.


    Grandma, nice to meet you. Jiang Yuning hurriedly greeted Grandma Nian with a gentle voice.


    This is my grandfather.


    Grandpa, nice to meet you.


    Nian Xi introduced every member of her family, from the oldest to the youngest.


    Nian Qingyun remembered what happened when he saw Jiang Yuningst time, so when Nian Xi introduced him, he hurriedly said to Jiang Yuning, Dont call me father. Im not your father.


    Jiang Yuning blinked his eyes and said, You are surely not my father now. Xi and I havent gotten married yet. Uncle Nian, good to see you.


    The others burst outughing. Uncle, Im so surprised you want him to call you father already, said Nian Junlei.

 Chapter 1217. I Just Called Him Father, so It Seems Impolite Not to Call You Mother

    Chapter 1217. I Just Called Him Father, so It Seems Impolite Not to Call You Mother


    Nian Qingyun was so angry his face turned crimson. Nonsense. I said that because he called me fatherst time. If you dont believe me, ask him about it.


    Everyone turned to look at Jiang Yuning. He spent a moment thinking, then shook his head and said, I dont remember. Its been so long.


    How can you not admit it? You had the guts to call me father, but howe you dont have the guts to admit it? said Nian Qingyun.


    Father. Jiang Yuning suddenly called him father.


    I said dont call me father. Nian Qingyun almost lost his temper.


    Jiang Yuning blinked his eyes innocently and said, I called you father to prove that I have guts.


    Nian Qingyun spun around and pressed a hand on his liver.


    He already had a son who was good at making him angry. If he had a son-inw like that, he would die from apoplexy sooner orter.


    Uncle, calm down. Nian Junlei patted him on the shoulder. I understand how happy you are.


    Nian Qingshan clicked his tongue and said, Brother, Im jealous of you.


    Go away. Nian Qingyun red at him and walked away sullenly.


    He would have felt like punching someone if he stayed there any longer.


    After introducing her father, Nian Xi introduced her mother to Jiang Yuning.


    Mother. Jiang Yuning called her mother directly.


    Murong Cheng buried her forehead in her hand and said, Um Well, its the first time were meeting, so you can just call me aunty.


    Jiang Yuning nodded and said, I get it. But I just called him father. It seems a little impolite not to call you mother.


    Murong Cheng didnt know how to respond.


    Nian Xis mouth corners twitched slightly. For the very first time, she found Jiang Yuning pretty sly. Secretly, she patted him and reminded him, Be good. Dont say anything that you shouldnt say.


    Jiang Yuning showed a trace of protest in his eyes, but he just nodded and said, Ill do what you say.


    People witnessed that. They couldnt bear watching the pitiful look on the boys face.


    Xi, you are a girl. A girl should be gentle, said Yu Wen. Dont be too bossy. Jiang is right. It was inappropriate for him not to call her mother.


    Yeah, Grandma Nian agreed. You should learn from Jiang. The scientist has a good brain.


    Nian Xi raised her head and gave a long sigh. What on earth did Jiang Yuning do? He had only been in the hall for a few minutes but had already managed to get all the olderdies on his side with his good looks and upation.


    After Nian Xi introduced every family member to him, people started asking him how old he was.


    Im thirty years old, Jiang Yuning said.


    You dont look thirty, said Murong Cheng with a surprised look. I thought youre only twenty-three or twenty-four. My son is thirty, but you two look so different.


    Nian Junting, who was walking into the hall with his son in his arms, heard what she said. His face instantly turned frosty cold. Mom, he said. Who are you talking about? How different do we look? Tell me.


    Murong Cheng froze, then turned around and looked at her sons cold face and said, Eh-hem, its because he looks so young. You look thirty. You run apany after all. You have this time-sharpened quality. Thats how you rule the business world, right?


    As the angry look on his face eased, Nian Junting said to Jiang Yuning, A man needs to be strong, so he can protect his girl.


    Jiang Yuning looked at Nian Xi tenderly and said, My Nian Xi is strong. Ill follow her lead. She is my queen.


    Nian Xi blushed slightly.


    How could he say that in front of everyone?


    Oh my, did you hear him? Grandma Nian couldnt have liked him more. Xi, you are so lucky.

 Chapter 1218. He Suddenly Got Angry and Refused to Talk to Me

    Chapter 1218. He Suddenly Got Angry and Refused to Talk to Me


    Yu Wen envied her granddaughter. Cherish him, she said.


    Professor Jiang, youre here, too? Luosang who had greeted her own family came over.


    Sangsang, do you two know each other?


    Yeah. Im telling you, Professor Jiang is amazing. A few days ago, he brought Nian Xi out of a burning building on the ninth floor. Look at his hands. His hands are covered in wounds. He got injured saving Nian Xi. Luosang passionately shared what she knew with the others without noticing her husbands face bing darker.


    Really? Grandma Nian eyed the bandages on Jiang Yunings hands. No wonder. You are so brave. Thank you for saving Nian Xis life. She must have saved the gxy in her previous life, so she met you in her current life. How did you do that? Come sit with us and talk to Grandma.


    Soon, Jiang Yuning was surrounded by the elders from Nian Family like a superstar. Even Nian Xi ended up in a corner.


    With a sulky face, Nian Junting dragged Luosang to the side, watching her silently.


    What are you doing? Youre not jealous of Professor Jiang, are you? Luosangughed.


    With pressed lips, Nian Junting stayed cold and silent.


    Are you upset because I told everyone that Professor Jiang saved Nian Xi? Luosang folded her arms and said, I was telling the truth, wasnt I? Why are you so petty?


    Nian Junting sniffed, I dont understand why you women like him so much.


    Girls can be attracted to boys, but boys might be repulsed by the other boys, said Luosang with a smile.


    Nian Junting didnt say anything.


    Seeing her husband bing gloomier, Luosang quickly held his arm and said, Because hes handsome.


    Alright, stop. Nian Junting turned and left.


    Dear, dont go. Luosang held him. But you, of course, are the most handsome guy in my world.


    On hearing that, Nian Junting stopped moving, curved his lips downward, nced at her and asked, Which one of us do you think looks younger? Answer honestly. If you lie to me, youll be punished so hard in bed.


    Lusoang scratched the back of her head and said, You dont need topare yourself with him. Hes much younger than you.


    Nian Junting went silent.


    He forgot that Luosang wasnt there when Jiang Yuning told everyone his age.


    He gave a cold smile, then turned, and carried the baby away. No matter how loudly Luosang called his name, he did not respond to her.


    He didnt care what the others thought, but she was his wifeGeez!


    That was so humiliating.


    Luosang was bewildered. She saw Xiao Si arrive together with Ji Nuanyi, so she went to greet them. Hey, you two. Hows it going? Its not often that I see you together.


    Ji Nuanyi smiled and said, I wasnt there when you had your baby, so I had to be here at his hundred-day-old party. Where is he?


    Junting has him.


    Tell him to bring him here, said Xiao Si, smiling.


    He just left in a huff. I dont know why. Hes not talking to me, Luosang said.


    Maybe hes on his period, said Xiao Si.


    MaybeSo, when are you guys getting married? asked Luosang.


    Xiao Si froze, then nced at Ji Nuanyi and said, Its up to her. Im willing to do it any time.


    My schedules too full this year. Ji Nuanyi changed the subject and asked Luosang, When are you going back to work? Youre my exclusive voice actor. In the middle of this year, the post-production of mytest film will be starting. Youll be doing the voice-overs by then. The film was directed by your little brother.


    Great. I was going to talk to you about that. Being home every day looking after the baby is starting to get to me, Luosang gave a bitter smile.

 Chapter 1219. Ji Chuan and Nian Xi Have Gone Separate Ways in the End

    Chapter 1219. Ji Chuan and Nian Xi Have Gone Separate Ways in the End


    I look forward to having you back, Ji Nuanyi smiled.


    Eh? Whos surrounded by your family over there? Xiao Si saw Jiang Yuning and asked the question.


    Jiang Yuning. I think hes Nian Xis boyfriend now, Luosang exined.


    Hearing that, Xiao Si immediately nced at Feng Ji Chuan and his family. They seemed to feel quite embarrassed. They were chatting with the other guests, awkwardly, though.


    Her boyfriend ran into her ex. This is gonna be troublesome, Xiao Si sighed, Ji Chuan and Nian Xi have gone separate ways in the end. We grew up together. I always felt that the two of them would get married sooner orter. Well, from now on, its gonna be awkward for Feng Family and Nian Family to gather together.


    Luosang smiled but didnt say a word.


    Ill go say hi to Ji Chuan, in case he feels bad, Xiao Si said, then walked toward Feng Familys table together with Ji Nuanyi.


    Feng Ji Chuan had seen. He stood up to greet him, and the two of them punched each other in the chest.


    I am finally seeing you in person. Youre with your girlfriend all day now, said Feng Ji Cuan.


    Xiao Siughed, then said to Ji Nuanyi, Let me introduce you two to each other. This is Feng Ji Chuan. Hes like a brother of mine. Him, Junting, and me, we grew up together.


    Nice to meet you, Mr. Feng, Ji Nuanyi and Feng Ji Chuan shook each others hands.


    Miss. Ji, you look so much prettier in person than on the screen. Xiao Si is lucky to have you. Seeing the two standing side by side, Feng Ji Chuan honestly envied them. Before, Nian Junting and Xiao Si were always single. Now, both of them had lovers, and he himself no longer had Nian Xi.


    Feeling his sadness, Xiao Siforted him, Dont think too much about whats gone. People always need to look ahead. Nian Xi has moved on, so should you.


    Feng Ji Chuan gave a bitter smile.


    Xiao Si was the second person to tell him to move on today.


    Beside them, Mrs. Feng said unhappily, Ive been telling him to go for blind dates since long ago. Last time, I introduced a great girl to him, but he refused to meet her. He insisted on waiting for Nian Xi toe back to him. What now? She has a boyfriend. Seriously, earlier, Nian Xi demanded Ji Chuan to leave the army ande back here. He did what she asked, but she broke up with him to be with someone else. It was her family who wanted her and Ji Chuan to get married, but before the wedding, she canceled it. We had handed out the invitations already. I am really disappointed in her.


    Mr. Feng was wearing a sullen face too. Now she brought her new boyfriend here. Many on the scene know that she is Ji Chuans ex-fiance. But now Eh, I feel so ashamed.


    Xiao Si furrowed his eyebrows. Feng Ji Chuan interrupted them, said, Mom, Dad, stop. Ive told you that I didnt get married to Nian Xi because I did something wrong. It wasnt her fault. I really didnt care for her enough. Im the reason why she broke up with me. She has really done a lot for me.


    Now youre speaking for her, Mrs. Feng shook her head, said, When you left the army, you had so many choices, yet you chose to be a police officer. Wasnt that because of Nian Xi? I thought youd get back together. After all, you work together. But in the end, things became like this. Forget it. Your father and I shouldnt havee here at all.


    Uncle, Aunty, dont say that, Xiao Si was aware that some elderly people tended to be narrow-minded sometimes, but still, he felt a little ufortable. Feng Family and Nian Family have been friends for decades, after all, he said, Besides, Nian Xi spent years waiting for Ji Chuan. There must be a reason why they broke up in the end.

 Chapter 1220. Nian Xi Said That Shell Be Responsible for Me

    Chapter 1220. Nian Xi Said That She''ll Be Responsible for Me


    Theres nothing more to say. Anyway, theyre not getting back together. Mr. Feng waved a hand, indicating that he didnt want to continue talking.


    Ah, lets go see Appel. Phew! Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi made a quick exit.


    They found Nian Junting putting a red envelope in Apples pocket. Whats going on between you and Sangsang? said Xiao Si. How can you be pissed off at her at your sons hundred-day-old party? Arent you ashamed?


    Nian Junting grinned coldly and said, She hurt me deeply.


    Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi looked at each other in disbelief. Then Xiao Si said, I dont think so. She doesnt even know what she did to upset you.


    Nian Juntingughed with a frosty voice, Thats even worse.


    Ji Nuanyi wisely kept her mouth shut. She had never known this childish side of Mr. Nian.


    Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Nian Xi rted the story of how Jiang Yuning had rescued her from the burning building. Grandma Nian sighed and sighed, held Jiang Yunings hands and said, Dont worry. I will always remember that you saved the life of my dear granddaughter. From now on, you are the savior of our family. If Xi ever treats you unfairly, you cane to us. Well bring you justice.


    Yu Wen couldnt stop nodding. The more she looked at Jiang Yuning, the more she liked him. Xi, treasure him. Its not easy to find such a great boy. Youre not a child anymore. Its time for you to get married.


    Yeah. Grandma Nian nodded. When are you two getting married? Jiang, you can choose a date. But before that, we need to meet your parents.


    Jiang Yuning was astonished on hearing that. Why were people suddenly talking about marriage? He was fine with it, though.


    Okay, he said.


    Not okay! Nian Xi interrupted him. She was nearly driven crazy. She had foreseen this scene. Please, this is only the time weve gotten together. Were still getting to know each other.


    Emm. Jiang Yuning nodded. Yes, Nian Xi said shell be responsible for me.


    Be responsible for you? Grandma Nians eyes widened.


    Mr. Jiang, Nian Junlei said, surprised. My cousin didnt lose control of herself and do something bad to you, did she?


    On hearing that, Jiang Yuning turned beet red. N-no he stuttered.


    After saying that, he shyly dropped his head. Even the roots of his ears had turned red.


    That look of his indicated that Nian Xis remark had affected him.


    People turned their sharp eyes to Nian Xi. Xi, I didnt know. Nian Junlei chuckled.


    Shut up. Nian Xi red at him. She felt like crawling into a hole.


    Why on earth did I agree to take Jiang Yuning to the party?


    Grandma understands, said Grandma Nian, patting the back of Xis head.


    After all, a pretty boy like Jiang Yuning was a raritya gem. It was understandable that her granddaughter would want to be with him.


    Her granddaughter was outstandingly beautiful and capable. She could afford to eat the boy alive.


    Grandma, you dont understand. Nian Xi felt as if she was on the verge of a breakdown. All she could do was to seek help from Grandpa Nian.


    Enough, already! Let the young people handle their own lives, said Grandpa Nian. Let them make their own decisions. Lets not add to their stress. Besides, Nian Xi said this was their first time out together.


    Im worried Xi might take advantage of Jiang Yuning. Grandma Nian took out her phone and said to him, Do you use WeChat? Add me to your contact list.


    Grandma, since when you did you start using WeChat? asked Nian Xi.


    Sangsang got me a WeChat ount earlier so I can video chat with little Apple and send voice messages to him, said Grandma Nian smiling.


    Jiang Yuning immediately nodded and said, Yeah. Me too. I got a cellphone and WeChat ount not long ago.


    Really? What a coincidence. Grandma Nians eyes were glowing. Im still learning. There are some functions I dont understand yet.


    I feel the same. Jiang Yuning moved closer to Grandma Nian. I dont know how to put money into my WeChat ount.


    Silently, Nian Xi watched her boyfriend and her grandmother talking to each other happily. She wanted to cry but could not shed one tear. Had the two of them be friends already?

 Chapter 1221. Just Go and Comfort My Brother

    Chapter 1221. Just Go and Comfort My Brother


    Nian Xis aunty came over and whispered to her, Your boyfriend is trying so hard to earn your grandmas favor. Hes even pretending that he doesnt know how WeChat works.


    Nian Xi looked at her helplessly and said, He doesnt know how it works. He didnt even have a cellphone when I first met him.


    No way! Her aunt was surprised. Who doesnt use a cellphone these days? You found yourself a treasure. Nowadays, many guys spend their waking hours staring at their phones, chatting or ying games. Look at Junlei. His girlfriend broke up with him because he spent too much time on his phone.


    Mom, please. The people who dont know the truth might think I was chatting with some girls online. I was watching international news.


    Hehe, yeah. You are concerned about a lot of things. You are even interested in international news.


    At this point, the wait staff started serving the meal.


    Murong Cheng told Luosang and Nian Junting toe over and take a seat. Luosang came first. Nian Junting put Apple in her arms, then picked up a ss of wine to propose a toast.


    Nian Xi asked Luosang, What happened between you and my brother just now? You guys werent even talking to each other.


    I dont know. Luosang was confused too. He asked me a question. He wanted me to tell him if he or Jiang Yuning looked younger. I answered the question and then he got angry.


    Nian Xi blinked. What did you say?


    I said that Jiang Yuning is so much younger than he is, so he doesnt need topare himself to him. Thats the truth. I dont know whats in his mind.


    Nian Xi sat in silence.


    Those were the most hurtful words her brother had heard today.


    She cleared her throat, then patted Luosang on the shoulder and said, Actually, Jiang Yuning is thirty years old too, just like my brother.


    Luosangs eye popped out in shock. Then she stammered, He he doesnt look thirty.


    Just go andfort my brother. Ill hold Apple for you. Nian Xi took the baby from her.


    Oh, okay, thank you. Luosang hurriedly walked toward Nian Junting.


    Seeing Nian Xi holding the baby, Jiang Yuning moved next to her and carefully looked at the babys face. Normally, he had no feelings for children at all. However, he liked that baby, probably because he looked a little like Nian Xi.


    Apple stared back at him with hisrge, ck, sparkling eyes.


    Jiang Yuning looked back at the boy. The two of them stared at each others eyes without making a sound.


    After spending a short time eating, Nian Xi found the two of them still staring at each other.


    What are you two doing? Communicating with each other through your eyes? she said.


    I think he wants to talk to me. Jiang Yuning reached out his arms and said, Give him to me. You can focus on your food.


    Do you know how to hold him? Nian Xi didnt trust him with the baby.


    I will be holding a baby sooner orter. I can practice. Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, then answered her question.


    Yes, you should let him practice. Nian Junlei instantly agreed with Jiang Yuning. Xi is never gonna be a great mother. Shes heavy-handed.


    Shut up. Nian Xi felt like shoving a big chunk of meat in his mouth to stop him from talking.


    Why on earth were her brother and cousin both so sharp-tongued? It was not easy for her to grow into a mentally healthy person around those two.


    Its okay. Ill be looking after our children, said Jiang Yuning. All Xi has to do is to be happy.


    Aw, did you all hear him? How sweet. Grandma Nian was so happy.


    Young man, acting is more important than saying. Who cant say sweet words? said Nian Qingyun coldly.

 Chapter 1222. Sangsang, Youre Spoiling My Brother

    Chapter 1222. Sangsang, You''re Spoiling My Brother


    Jiang Yuning nodded and said, Youre right, Father.


    Looking at his innocent face, Nian Qingyun wanted to vomit blood. Ive told you not to call me father.


    Sure, Uncle Nian. Jiang Yuning nodded again.


    The mild-mannered and obedient Jiang Yuning even gave Grandma Nian heartburn. She turned and scolded her son, Qingyun, be nice to my future grandson-inw. Look at him. He is so polite. He is tender and honest, but that doesnt mean you can bully him. You are taking advantage of your seniority.


    Look whos talking, Nian Qingyun muttered under his breath.


    Who are you talking about? said Grandma Nian, looking daggers at him.


    No one. Mom, try this. Its delicious. Nian Qingyun offered his mom some prawns.


    On the other side of the room, Nian Junting was dragged into the hallway after making a toast celebrating his sons 100 days.


    What? he said coolly. Make it quick. Im busy.


    Look at your petty face. Luosang held his arm, shaking him. Im sorry. I didnt know Jiang Yunings age. I thought he was younger than you. It that such a big deal?


    Its because he looks so much younger than I do, right? said Nian Junting sourly. You all think that way. I dont care what other people think. After all, I am a generous person. But you Luo, I am disappointed in you.


    Junting. You misunderstood. Jiang Yuning does look like a twenty-year-old boy, but hes also very immature. To be honest, I dont like the boys who look like him. Theyre not as tall and strong as you, and they dont have the manly vibe you have. Normally, men in their thirties are at the peak of their maturity and charm, said Luosang with a poker face. You are a perfect guy. As for Jiang Yuning, he still needs to be sharpened by time. Only when he grows into a mature man like you can he be considered as a real man.


    I get it. I get it. Nian Junting curved his lips in a smile, You think hes too immature, right?


    I do. Luosang lied. But Junting, this is only between you and me. Dont say anything like that in front of him. Hes Nian Xis boyfriend after all.


    I understand. Nian Junting yfully put a lock of her hair behind her ear and said happily and sheepishly, I wouldnt have been angry if youd told me this earlier.


    Well, how could I have? You stormed off in a huff.  Luosang pouted, I couldnt even stop you.


    YeahI lost my cool. Nian Junting took her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her.


    There were some other people in the hallway, so Luosang felt a little embarrassed. She pushed him back inside the banquet hall and said enthusiastically, Lets eat! Im starving.


    Back at the table, Nian Xi was still holding Apple while Jiang Yuning deftly picked conch meat for her. The prawns were served, so he promptly started to focus on removing the shells for her. He even removed some fish bones, too.


    Observing him, Luosang sighed. Nian Junting did that for her too, but he wasnt as careful as Jiang Yuning was.


    Xi, Ill take Apple now. Thanks for watching him.. Luosang took the cooing baby into her arms.


    Did you make peace? asked Nian Xi with a conspiratorial wink.


    Yep, I did. Luosang nodded.


    Nian Xi nced at her brother who had a big grin on his face. She clicked her tongue and said, Sangsang, youre spoiling my brother.


    Isnt this nice? Luosang chuckled. No other woman can stand him now.


    Nian Xi paused briefly with surprise. That made sense.


    Oh, what is this? Nian Junting found his son wearing a tiny watch.

 Chapter 1223. Brother, Be Careful, This Is Really Amazing

    Chapter 1223. Brother, Be Careful, This Is Really Amazing


    Jiang Yuning invented this, Nian Xi tittered. Ive tried it. Its amazing.


    She introduced the functions of the watch; whoever heard her was stunned.


    Seriously? Nian Junting couldnt believe it. Let me try


    Brother, be careful. This thing is really amazing. It can even detect sexual dysfunction and deficiency of the kidneys, said Nian Xi seriously.


    Nian Juntings handsome face instantly grew dark. What do you mean? he said. Do you think I have sexual dysfunction and deficiency of the kidneys? If I have those, where did Applee from? Why did your sister-inw get married to


    Before he could finish, a piece of meat was thrust into his mouth that made him stop talking.


    The oily meat made him want to vomit. He red at Luosang.


    We wouldnt think of you as a mute if you stayed quiet, Luosang said to him.


    Nian Junting had no choice but to swallow the meat.


    Its all right. I just want you to know that people who have those conditions, who dont want others to know, shouldnt try the watch, because they might be embarrassed. It can even detect menstruation.


    Hearing her words, some people at the table fell silent.


    Atst, Nian Qingyun reached out his arm and said, I dont believe it. Let me try. I am perfectly healthy.


    Nian Junting handed him the watch. Nian Qingyun put it on, and after about ten seconds, the watch reported Gastrointestinal secretion of digestive fluid decreased, intestinal tension and peripheries weakened, abdominal and pelvic floor muscle weakness, anal and internal sphincter weakened, gastrocolic reflex weakened, rectal sensitivity decreased, food stays in the intestine too long, excessive absorption of water cause constipation.


    People didnt quite understand the first part of the report, but after hearing thest few words, they burst intoughter.


    Nian Qingyuns entire face reddened. Its wrong, he said.


    Brother, its not wrong. Nian Qingshanughed. Havent you beenining about that a lottely?


    Nian Qingyun red at him.


    Dad, its okay, Luosang hurriedly said. Its nothing. Its just constipation. We can all have that some times. Im having that problem now.


    The sulky look on Nian Qingyuns face eased slightly when he heard Luosangs words. Then, the watch continued reporting It is rmended that the elderly eat more grains containing crude fiber, vegetables, fruits, and beans, drink more water, at least 1,500ml of water every day, especially a cup of warm water every morning or before meals, which can effectively prevent constipation.


    Whos elderly? Im not even turning sixty yet. I can even fight in a war now! Nian Qingyun angrily stood up, quickly took off the watch and handed it back to Nian Junting. This watch is talkingplete nonsense.


    Its not saying that youre sixty, said Jiang Yuning. After all, the watch cant tell your exact age. Its saying that your digestion system is almost like that of a sixty-year-old person. It means you need to adjust your diet to better the condition of your digestion system.


    It rarely happened, but Grandpa Nian nodded to agree this time. Qingyun, you do need to be careful with your diet. You like oily food too much, and you have meals outside all the time. Also, you drink a lot. This watch is good indeed.


    Nian Qingyun put on a long face and fell into silence.


    If he knew that the watch could diagnose constipation, he would never put it on.


    Does anyone else want to try? Nian Xi raised her brows.


    Nian Qingshan hurriedly waved his hands and said, No, no.


    Nian Xi said smilingly, So everyone seems to have some secret little health problems. Brother, arent you gonna try it? Didnt you say that you want to try?


    Nian Junting hurriedly put a hand on his forehead and said, Your sister-inw made me eat a piece of fat meat just now. I feel so sick. I need to rest, or I might throw up.

 Chapter 1224. Because We Are Both Good at Study

    Chapter 1224. Because We Are Both Good at Study


    Nian Xi almostughed out loud. She didnt often have the chance to see her brother frightened.


    Luosang nced at Nian Junting, then said to Jiang Yuning, Mr. Jiang, thank you for giving our Apple such a precious gift. This watch is helpful for us indeed. We dont know how to thank you. Are you free this afternoon? Come to our house if you are.


    Ill go if Nian Xi goes. Jiang Yuning turned and looked at Nian Xi without blinking.


    You dont need to work this afternoon, do you? Come on. Luosang smiled. Well have dinner at home. Everybody will be there.


    All right. Nian Xi had decided to spend the afternoon in Tianhu Vi. She just didnt know that she would be bringing Jiang Yuning there too.


    After lunch, Nian Junting and Luosang stood up, escorting the guests out of the restaurant.


    He walked the Feng Family out first. Before leaving, Mr. Feng smiled at him sourly, then said, Junting, congrattions. Nian Xi is so lucky to be with a scientist. Ive heard about it. Look at how happy your families are.


    Nian Junting furrowed his eyebrows slightly, then responded with, I dont know much about Xis boyfriend, but she has broken up with Ji Chuan already. She couldnt always be single, could she? The people in our family all wanted her to find someone.


    Mrs. Feng wanted to say something, but Feng Ji Chuan red at her and stopped her. Apologetically, he said to Nian Junting, Junting, Im not going to your house in the afternoon. I need to go to the police station.


    Watching the Feng Family people leave, Nian Junting sighed. Uncle Feng and Aunty Feng are feeling ufortable.


    Luosang thought for a moment and said, They wouldnt feel so ufortable if their son had a girlfriend. They just feel embarrassed. They believe that their son is the best, yet before he found a new girlfriend, Nian Xi is already with someone. They feel its unfair. Look at your father. Your father urged Nian Xi to find someone earlier. Wasnt he thinking the same as them?


    Nian Junting didnt say anything. She was right.


    Junting! Congrattions! You are a father. I should leave now. A tall young man walked over, wearing a perfectly tailored ck suit. His chiseled face made him look polite and serious. One would find his eyes as deep as an abyss when looking into them. Those eyes could even make people feel fear.


    Bohan, thank you foring. Nian Junting shook his hand and said, I was too busy to wee you properly. I am sorry.


    Its all right. Lets get together when you have time, said Xu Bohan. After saying that, he nodded at Luosang, then turned and left.


    Luosang had known Nian Junting for long, but it was the first time she met Xu Bohan.


    Who is this Mr. Xu? Why have I never seen him?


    I have many friends in Xia City. Have you met them all? Nian Junting smiled.


    No. This Mr. Xu is especially Under Nian Juntings gaze, Luosang changed the word good-looking to nice.


    Nice? Nian Junting gave a small smile and said, How do you know that hes nice? You dont even know him.


    Youre right. Luosang immediately nodded. He looks quite good, not ugly, at least. Did you meet him recently? I dont think he showed up at our wedding.


    Hes my high school ssmate. Before you became my girlfriend, I hung out with him asionally. Hes the only one among my ssmates that Im still in contact with. We are both good at studying, so we have some shared topics. Three years ago, he was transferred to another town for work. He only got transferred back this year, Nian Junting said ndly.

 Chapter 1225. I Can Be in a Daze

    Chapter 1225. I Can Be in a Daze


    So who was better at studying? Luosang said as she curved her lips downward.


    I joined the army, so he became the top student of our year. I gave him that chance, said Nian Junting proudly.


    Luosang tried hard not tough. You said that he was transferred to another town. Does he work for the government?


    Hes a judge, said Nian Junting with a serious face.


    Luosang was stunned for a moment, then admiration grew in her heart. Impressive. I didnt know a judge could be so young and handsome.


    Handsome? Nian Junting raised his brows. Didnt you say that he looks ugly? Howe hes handsome now?


    Luosang coughed slightly and said, He cant bepared to you of course. I never heard about your judge friend before. I am impressed. I guess he was really a top-scored student, just like you.


    Nian Junting proudly raised his chin. He liked to hear that. Theres nothing to talk about. I know a judge, no big deal. Could I ask the judge for help if I broke thew? Besides, he only became a judgest year. Im a businessman, while hes working in politics. Sometimes, what we know can be quite sensitive. Xu Bohan is especially cautious. As his name states, he is cold and heartless. Dont you doubt me. Before, when he was doing judicial work, he once met his uncle in court. He put his uncle in prison for ten years. Only afterward did people find out that the convict was rted to him. Not long after that, his parents got a divorce.


    Luosangs eyes widened in surprise. She really did admire people like that. Not everyone could be so impartial and incorruptible. Eh she said. Admirable. I wouldnt be able to do that if I were him.


    Thats why you can only be my wife. Nian Junting smiled and put an arm around her waist.


    Oh. Luosang raised her head and said, Have you been having some health problemstely? Why wouldnt you try on that watch?


    Jiang Juntings handsome face froze for a moment. Eh-hem. He responded with, Im fine. But there might be some unknown problems. It was better I didnt try it on, so I wouldnt be embarrassed.


    Really? Luosang didnt believe him.


    Believe it or not, said Nian Junting. Lets go and get Apple. Nian Xi is probably getting tired of holding him.


    After saying that, he quickly walked away.


    Luosang looked at his back and narrowed her eyes.


    Everyone headed to Tianhu Vi; all the guests had brought their cars. Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi were still in the same car.


    On the way, Nian Xi said to him, You shouldnt have epted my sister-inws invitation. The guys are going to y cards and you dont know how to y.


    Jiang Yuning fell into deep thought. A short whileter, he said, I dont know how to y cards. I hate ying cards.


    Me too. Nian xi sighed. But thats how you spend time with your elders. We used to go to clubs and bars, y sports, or fishing together. Now, everybody is too busy. We dont hang out together as often as before.


    Its okay. I can be in a daze. You can y cards with them and ignore me, said Jiang Yuning honestly.


    Nian Xi did not know what to say.


    She had heard about killing time by watching TV or ying on a cellphone. Being in a daze? That was new.


    After arriving at the vi, Xiao Si insisted on inviting Jiang Yuning for the card game. Youre a man. You have to learn to y cards, or there will be no fun. After you and Nian Xi get married, youll certainly need to join our games on New Year and other festivals. Come on, Ill teach you. Dont worry, were all young people. Ill let you win.


    Nian Xi looked at Jiang Yuning who seemed to be reluctant. She didnt have the heart to make him y cards against his own will.


    He doesnt like ying cards. Why are you forcing him?

 Chapter 1226. I Have Money. I Dont Care

    Chapter 1226. I Have Money. I Don''t Care


    Hey, you guys havent gotten married yet, but youre protecting him already, Xiao Si said jokingly. How about this? Were not gonna bully the beginner. If he loses, he need not give us money. But well give him money if we lose.


    Thats very nice of you Nian Xi hesitated.


    Im sorry, I disagree. Mo Liuxi who was also dragged into the game, joined the conversation in a nd tone. What if he had help?


    Hm. Nian Puntig nodded. I cant give my money to other people for no good reason, not even to my sister. My money belongs to my wife.


    His wife kindly gave him some allowance for the card game. How could he possibly lose it all? He needed to use that money to earn more and to rebuild his fortune.


    Nian Xi speechlessly nced at her brother, who now looked like a ve to his wife. Ive seen no ones brother as stingy as you are. I believe that Sangsang will never agree with what you said.


    After she said that, Jiang Yuning carefully put his wallet into her hand and said, I have money. You can y the game with my money.


    It was the third time he said how important money was.


    Nian Xi raised her head, sighed, then said seriously, I have no chance to win those foxes. They are all so good at calcting.


    She was especially talking about her brother and Mo Liuxi. She yed cards with Mo Liuxi on New Years. He was young and cunning. No matter how she tried, she could never beat her brother or Mo Liuxi. Sometimes, she wondered if Nian Junting was really her brother. He probably was. Nian Junting had taken all the good genes of their parents.


    Its okay. I have money. Jiang Yuning grinned and said innocently, I dont care.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    Rich people could do whatever they wanted nowadays.


    Xiao Si couldnt stopplimenting Jiang Yuning. Xi, your boyfriend is so generous. Since he said that, you should just y the game on behalf of him. I will not make you lose.


    Si, you are the only nice one, Nian Xi said to him, then nced at her brother. Like people said, you could learn about someones real face in a card game.


    Since the invitation had been made, Nian Xi didnt have the heart to reject her friends.


    However, she regretted her decision after five minutes into the game.


    Nian Junting was honestly too good at calcting, and so were Mo Liuxi and Xiao Si. She was still confused, and the three had already started an intense battle.


    Facing the card masters, she had no other choice but to use her bombs, over and over again.


    I really dont want to take your bomb, but this is the second time. Nian Junting slowly spread his cards and said, This is boring. I was going to win a bigger one.


    Do not take it then. Nian Xi clenched her teeth.


    Youve used two bombs. I wouldnt have had a good chance to win more, even if I didnt take your bomb, said Nian Justing ndly.


    Nian Xi took a deep breath and nced at Jiang Yuning, who was sitting beside her. He was looking outside through the window. What are you thinking? she asked him.


    Hearing her voice, Jiang Yuning turned back and said, Im looking at the birds out there. Global warming is growing more and more serious, and so is air pollution. I wonder if the children of our children will still be able to see birds.


    He was thinking about that while she was losing at the game. She felt she wanted to vomit blood.


    Ji Nuanyi, who was sitting beside Xiao Si, smiled and said, Mr. Jiang is sentimental. Your girlfriend is losing the game. Arent you going to help her? You may not know how to y the game, but you can always learn.


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then said to Nian Xi, Its okay. This card game is only a way of entertainment. Some battles you win, some you lose. Think positively.


    Xiao Si almost burst inughter. Even Mo Liuxi couldnt help but curve his lips into a small smile. Unlike them, Nian Junting stayed expressionless. He was used to Jiang Yunings weird behavior.

 Chapter 1227. I Wont Lose

    Chapter 1227. I Won''t Lose


    Nian Xi almost cried. Im sorry, I cant think as positively as you do, she said.


    Jiang Yuning furrowed his eyebrows, moved his lips slightly, but didnt say anything. In the end, he took out his phone and started to spend time on it.


    Nian Xi was so unhappy. It was not his fault that he did not know how to y cards. However, he shouldnt be spending time on his phone and thinking about global warming when she was losing money.


    Nian Xi lost a few other rounds. In the end, she gave up. It was not her money that she was losing anyway. The real owner of the money didnt care, so why should she be so anxious?


    However, losing the game, made her feel ufortable.


    An Lan walked over and said, Its inappropriate for you guys to bully a girl, isnt it?


    Were not bullying her. She lost. Besides, I didnt take her bombs unless I had to, said Mo Liuxi ndly. Sometimes, people just won. When someone won big, all the others in the game had to pay. So far, the three guys had each won a few rounds, so none of them suffered a heavy loss. Nian Xi was the only one who hadnt gotten a chance to win yet.


    Nian Xi. An Lan sighed. How about I y for you? Im better than you at this.


    Right when Nian Xi was thinking about if she should run away, Jiang Yuning said, Ill do it.


    You dont know how the game works, do you? Nian Xi looked at him helplessly. I know you have money and you dont mind losing it, but Im a girl, so theyve shown me some mercy. If you join the game, they wont be showing you any mercy at all.


    Its okay. Ive been watching you guys y, and Ive learned about the game on the inte just now. I think I know how it works, Jiang Yuning said with a deep voice. Its simple.


    Simple? Simple my ass, Nian Xi said in her head.


    Eh it may seem simple, but it can be hard when your opponents are really good at it. Nian Xi tried to talk him out of it in an indirect way.


    But its really simple, Jiang Yuning said. You only have one-hundred and thirty-six cards in total. There are just a few ways to y them. You can easily calcte it using math.


    Hearing his confident tone, Nian Junting said, He has no idea what the game is really like. Nian Xi, let him y.


    Nian Xi had no choice but to give Jiang Yuning her seat, praying that Jiang Yuning wouldnt lose too much money.


    As the game began, Jiang Yuning picked the cards clumsily.


    Seeing that, Xiao Si clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, Its all right. If you lose, dont feel ashamed. Youre new to this, so we all understand. Its just that were all young people here, so you might want to be humble.


    I wont lose, said Jiang Yuning with a low voice.


    Nian Junting and Mo Liuxi both shook their heads.


    Five minutester, Jiang Yuning spread his cards and said, I won.


    Xiao Si nced at his cards and said, What? You can win with those cards?


    Yeah. Earlier, I watched you guys y and noticed that you dont like to keep this card, Jiang Yuning responded.


    Yuning, you are amazing! I thought you were looking at your phone or having an inner journey just now! said Nian Xi excitedly.


    Jiang Yuning gave a small smile and said, Dont you like to win? I cant say for sure that Ill always win, but I can guarantee that Ill never lose.


    Boy, dont be arrogant. Nian Junting gave a cold smile. He heard what Jiang Yuning said. The boy didnt take him and the others in the game seriously. He considered himself a very smart man, but still, he shouldnt dare to say something like that. Today, Ill teach you how to be humble.


    Xiao Si paused briefly with confusion and said to him, Tingting, I understand that some others might be able to teach people how to be humble, but does that word really exist in your life?


    No. But other people have to be humble in front of me, said Nian Junting coldly.

 Chapter 1228. Will He Forbid Me From Marrying You if I Displeased Him?

    Chapter 1228. Will He Forbid Me From Marrying You if I Displeased Him?


    After he was finished talking, Nian Junting gave Jiang Yuning a glimpse. Thetter was carefully looking at his cards.


    He hurriedly took a deep breath and told himself to calm down.


    The boy was only a scientist. How could a scientist possibly be better than him, except at science?


    Nian Xi snorted, patted Jiang Yuning on the back and said, I dont need your guarantee. I only want you to win my money back.


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then wore a bitter face and said, But hes your brother. Will he forbid me from marrying you if I displease him?


    His voice wasnt loud, but everyone else heard what he said.


    Nian Xi blushed.


    Xiao Si burst intoughter and said, Oh, youre thinking long term, arent you? Dont worry, our Junting has always been a generous guy.


    Youre lying, said Jiang Yuning.


    Nian Xi red at Xiao Si, then said to Jiang Yuning, Ignore my brother. If I decided to marry you, no one will be able to stop me.


    Hearing that, Jiang Yunings eyes glowed. Good. I have your word now. Ill do what you want.


    After saying that, he leaned toward Nian Xi and said to her, Its gonna be easy. Your brother is terrible at this game.


    Nian Xi nced at Nian Juntings proud face and wondered if he would die of anger hearing what Jiang Yuning said.


    Nian Junting narrowed his eyes. The boy had infuriated him.


    However, he could not maintain the proud look on his face when he lost to Jiang Yuning over and over again. He had no idea what the boy was thinking. He won seven rounds out of ten, and sometimes he won double in one round. For the other three rounds, he didnt win because he took someone elses bomb, meaning that he didnt need to pay.


    Mo Liuxi and Xiao Si werent doing any better than Nian Junting. They had both lost a lot of money.


    It had only been an hour since the game started, but they had already lost what they won from Nian Xi.


    Ouch Ive been sitting here too long. I think my arms are sore. Junlei, Im d that youre here. Come over and take my ce. Xiao Si stretched his arms, attempting to stand up.


    Your arms are sore? Nan Xi smilingly walked over, clenched her fists and said, Would you like me to give you a few punches? I assure you the soreness will immediately go away.


    Xi Xiao Si wanted to cry.


    Si, you invited us to the game. You cant shrink back after losing money. I didnt run away when I lost. Where is your card-yers quality? Nuanyi is still sitting here. Is it appropriate for you to act like this in front of her? Nian Xi said.


    Ji Nuanyi patted Xiao Si on the back and said, Just y the game. Ill give you my money if you lose all yours.


    No. How can I let a girl pay for me? Xiao Si instantly straightened his back. He could not run away, no matter what.


    ndly, Mo Liuxi said, You can win my money. I dont have a girlfriend anyway. No one is spending my money.


    Poor boy. Nian Xi felt sorry for him. Yuning, dont make him lose too much.


    Sure. Nian Xi had never talked so gently to him. He was so excited.


    It turned out that winning the game could make Nian Xi happy. He had to win.


    At half-past five in the afternoon, cries and howls echoed through every corner of the room. Nian Junting looked very pale at the moment. He had asked Luosang for money three times, going to the bathroom as an excuse.


    Luosang looked at him and said, You have lost over a hundred thousand today. I hate to say this, but youre terrible at card-ying, yet you insisted on doing it.


    What do you mean that Im terrible at it? Nian Junting argued with her.


    Luosang snorted and said, Youve been losing since the first time I saw you y at your familys house when I was helping you picking your cards. Am I right?

 Chapter 1229. It Was the First Time He Saw Her Smile so Brightly Because of Him

    Chapter 1229. It Was the First Time He Saw Her Smile so Brightly Because of Him


    Its because of bad luck. Nian Junting felt humiliated, Do you think I want to y the game now? I dont. But if I quit the game, Id look like a coward. I cannot let that happen. I have already lost my face, so I cannot lose my reputation too.


    Luosang sighed. While transferring money to his ount, sheined saying, I dont know what you guys are thinking. He is a physicist and an astronomer. When you guys were still trying to solve Olympiad math problems, he was already calcting universe data. Youre disying your slight skills before an expert. What gave you confidence? Your history of being a good student?


    Nian Junting stayed silent. He recalled telling her that morning, that that he was good at studying.


    Luo, Im good to go. Dont worry. Ill try my best to earn my money back.


    Once the money arrived in his ount, he left as quickly as possible.


    The game wasnt over until Sister Lan told everybody that dinner was ready.


    Nian Junting, Xiao Si, and Mo Liuxi seemed to be relieved. Mo Liuxi usually didnt care about losing money, but he had lost too much today.


    Junting, dont ever invite me to y cards with this guy again, thank you, said Xiao Si. He was even shambling when leaving. He had lost a lot.


    Nian Juntings face was as cold as ice. He gave Jiang Yuning a frosty nce, then walked away.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, then turned to Nian Xi and said, I think people dont like me.


    Its okay. I like you. Nian Xi really liked him at that moment.


    How could such a smart person exist in this world? She was so lucky.


    Jiang Yuning blushed. He hurriedly pushed the thick stack of money on the table toward her and said, I won this money and I still have some in my WeChat ount. Ill transfer the money to youter.


    No. Nian Xi quickly shook her head and said, You won the money yourself. You should keep it.


    But I won it for you, said Jiang Yuning. What can I do with all this money? Maybe I should give it back to the others.


    After saying that, he stood up. Nian Xi hurriedly stopped him and said, Why? They never gave me a refund when they won money from me. Forget it, Ill take the money. Wow. I havent held so much money since my Mom cut my allowance. Im going shopping!


    Seeing her happy face, Jiang Yuning felt sweet in his heart.


    It was the first time he saw her smile so brightly because of him. He felt as if he finally figured out what he could do for her.


    Thank you. After spending a few seconds feeling thrilled, Nian Xi raised her head and said to him, Ive never won so much money. I always lose in card games, and my brother has always bullied me.


    Why did he bully you? Jiang Yuning didnt understand. Arent you his little sister?


    Some brothers bully their little sisters for pleasure. Nian Xi sighed.


    Its okay. If he ever bullies you again, you cane to me, said Jiang Yuning with a smile. I wont let anyone bully you.


    If those words came out of someone elses mouth, Nian Xi wouldnt believe them. However, when Jiang Yuning said those words, Nian Xi felt touched and safe. He wasnt exaggerating at all. She felt that she finally had someone to rely on. After all, Jiang Yuning was much smarter than her brother.


    Facing Jiang Yuning, her brother had nothing to show off.


    Before dinner, Jiang Yuning was still helping Nian Xi count the money instead of going to the dining room.


    The other guests had sat down at the table. They all learned about what happened in the afternoon and felt deep pity for Nian Junting and the other two.


    Its all right. Mo Jinforted the three of them. You are all rich. You shouldnt care about losing money.

 Chapter 1230. I Feel an Ning Might Have Done Something Else

    Chapter 1230. I Feel an Ning Might Have Done Something Else


    Do we care about the money? What we care about is that we were losing for three and a half hours, without winning even once. Do you guys understand how that feels? Xiao Si sighed.


    No, we dont. An Lan smiled gleefully.


    My future grandson-inw is so smart, Grandma Nian said with a happy smile. He haspletely outsmarted you guys.


    Grandma, what are you talking about? said Nian Junting sulkily. What does that have to do with being smart or not? Hes just good at math.


    Grandpa Nian ignored him and agreed with Grandma Nian. Youre right. I havent seen such a smart young man for a long time. I think Xis boyfriend is a great person. They should spend more time together and learn about each other. We should let them develop a rtionship freely.


    I agree. Nian Xis uncle nodded. Xi is a short-tempered girl, while Mr. Jiang seems quite tender. He listens to everything she says. Feng Ji Chuan was a good person too, but both of them have strong personalities. Nian Xi is the little princess of our family. I hope her future husband will treat her like a little princess too.


    That is right. Grandma Nian couldnt agree more.


    At that time, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning came into the dining room together, so the topic ended.


    After dinner, considering that there was a baby in Nian Juntings house, the guests started leaving.


    Liuxi, wait, An Lan called after Mo Liuxi when thetter was leaving.


    If youre going to speak for An Ning, Im sorry Mo Liuxi turned and looked at her coldly.


    If I wanted to talk to you for her, Id have visited you long ago, said An Lan. An Ning is full of lies now. I dont believe what she says either. Earlier, I arranged for her to study in a technical school, but she ran away. I wanted to ask if she went to you.


    Do you think she still has the guts toe to me? Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile. Im telling you, that sister of yours will only grow worse and worse. One day, she might do something irredeemable.


    Hearing that, An Lan felt helpless. Have you really broken up with Yan Su? You should think very carefully about that if you cant get over her. I feel that An Ning has done something that we dont know about yet. Last time, you threw her into the water and then she got a bad fever. The feversted a few days, and she nearly lost consciousness. Back then, I heard her saying something like, I dont want to lie to you.


    Did she say that about me? Mo Liuxis pupils shrunk.


    Im not sure, but she woke upter. She seems to hate me now, so theres no chance that shell talk to me. She has always kept secrets from me. I almost forgot about that, but today, I recalled it when I saw you. An Lan gave a bitter smile.


    Mo Liuxi pressed his thin lips together. A lot was going on in his mind. Was he the one whom An Ning didnt want to lie to? Was it someone else? Was it about what happened that night?


    I got to go. As he stayed silent, An Lan left in her car.


    With all kinds of thoughts, Mo Liuxi walked slowly outside. What did An Ning lie about? Was it about that night? Did he really sleep with her that night?


    He had such doubts since long ago.


    However, no evidence from that night could be found. What would be different even if he found out that he didnt sleep with An Ning, but with another woman that night?


    It would be meaningless if he didnt like the girl. Finding out the truth would only make him unhappier.


    But if he didnt sleep with An Ning that night, why did he wake up in the morning to see her lying by his side? Did An Ning sneak into his room afterward?


    The more he thought, the more he hated An Ning. He felt that he mightve been too nicest time.

 Chapter 1231. In My Heart, You Are the Best

    Chapter 1231. In My Heart, You Are the Best


    After the guests left, Luosang came out of the shower and found Nian Junting sitting unhappily on the bed.


    Thinking that her husband had lost a lot that day, she sighed and walked up tofort him. Dont be unhappy. Apple turned a hundred-days old today. This should be a happy day,


    But this is the worst day of my life, Nian Junting saidining. I have always been the one to win, but today


    Luosang felt that her husband was really upset. She hurriedly hugged him and said, In my heart, you are the best. Its not important if youre good at ying cards or not. Whats important is that you are handsome and capable, and you are amercial genius.


    Nian Junting was instantly cheered up by the encouragement from his wife. He held her tightly and smiled. I am not only amercial genius but also a genius in bed.


    Luosang hurriedly attempted to push him away, as she worried that he might press her straight down to the bed. However, she failed to make him move even an inch. Dear, lets talk about something serious, she said.


    Havent we been doing that this whole time? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows.


    What kind of serious talk is this? said Luosang. Im preparing to go back to work. I trust Sister Lan with Apple.


    Nian Junting was stunned at first, then fell into sullenness. But Apple needs breastfeeding and hes so young. How can you not feed him breast milk? The World Health Organization said breastfeeding shouldst until the baby turns two


    You stole Apples milk every day, said Luosang. Would you agree to let me breastfeed him until hes two?


    I agree, Nian Junting said. He was already used to seeing Luosang every day after work and her being with him and his son. If she started to work again, she would be spending a lot of time traveling, and sometimes she would work until midnight.


    Junting, have you forgotten what you promised me before? You said youd let me go back to work once I had the baby. Its not like we have no one else at home to look after him, said Luosang. I know that Apple is still a baby, so for now, I will only ept job offers from here, Xia City. Even if I need to go to another city for work, I wont stay there for the night. Nuanyi has talked to me today. I really want to do the voice-acting for Director Lis new film. Director Li is strict with his work, so I need to practice. I havent been doing voice-acting for half a year. I need to get my skills back.


    Are you sure you wont take the job offers from other cities? Nian Junting asked.


    Luosang nodded, held his waist and said, Junting, Im young, and I have a dream. Didnt you say that you wanted your wife to have her own career?


    Nian Junting knitted his brows slightly, then gave a bitter smile and said, Luo, Ive always supported you, but you are not allowed to neglect me when you start working again. You still need to spend time with me.


    I will. I will be keeping you and Applepany. As he agreed to let her work, Luosang nodded delightedly.


    Especially me. Apple is secondary, said Nian Junting bossily.


    Childish. Luosang pinched his cheek, then kissed him on the lips. After that, she sighed. I even envied Professor Jiang a little today. Before you and I got married, your entire family except for your Mom and Nian Xi were against us. Unlike me, he was epted by nearly the whole family, including your Grandpa.


    Dont worry. I havent epted him, said Nian Junting holding her face.


    Whether you ept him isnt important at all, Luosang thought.


    Dont be over-thinking, Nian Junting said, rubbing her hair. Hes a scientist. Normally, people who have little experience tend to have a stereotyped impression of scientists. They always feel that scientists are mysterious and sacred.

 Chapter 1232. We Are Such a Good Match

    Chapter 1232. We Are Such a Good Match


    What about you? Luosang asked.


    Me?


    Nian Junting thought for a moment and said, I dont care what he does. Hes a scientist, so what? If hes not a good person, Ill still say no. Whats important is if he can be nice to Nian Xi. I think hes better than before. He wouldnt even look at me nor talk to me before. That was annoying.


    As he finished, he found Luosang looking at him smilingly.


    He blushed lightly, clenched his fists and gave a cough. Eh-hem. Shes my little sister after all.


    Hm. Luosang nodded. She is your little sister, but she can barely feel any warmth from you, her big brother. I hope she can find a man who will treat her like a princess.


    Stop. Time to sleep. Nian Junting held her andid down.


    Isnt it too early to sleep now? said Luosang. Its barely eight oclock.


    Silly. Nian Junting pinched her nose and said, Im not saying that were really going to sleep.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    The Audi drove into town. Once again, Jiang Yuning, as a man, felt it was inappropriate to always make the girl drive him home. Besides, Nian Xi had been busy all day. She was already tired, and she needed to drive him home. He didnt want that.


    Xi, how about you dont drive me home? Jiang Yuning hesitated briefly, then said, Just go straight home. Ill clean your apartment, then ask Uncle Han to send a car to pick me up.


    He persistently wanted to clean her apartment. Nian Xi found that both funny and annoying. Your hands are injured. How are you going to clean my apartment?


    But I dont want you to drive. You must be tired, said Jiang Yuning with guilt.


    Nian Xi was warmed by his words. Im not tired. When I worked in a local police station, I always drove all over the city. Ive gotten used to it.


    Im not used to seeing you being tired, Jiang Yuning said honestly. You are my queen. You have to feelfortable when you are with me.


    Nian Xi paused briefly when she heard him that. She remembered when she first became a policewoman. She got up so early and went home sote. She was exhausted every single day. Except for her family, no one ever worried about her.


    Her family always wanted her to get married, so that she would have a nice man to look after her. She didnt understand that before, but now, she started to get it.


    Even a super strong person would want someone to rely on someday.


    Would Jiang Yuning be that person for her? She remembered hearing people say that he was working on a very mysterious project. Nian Qingyun didnt want her to be with Jiang Yuning because he didnt want her daughter to get involved in something like that.


    Yujing, what is the project that youre working on? she said to him. I heard that youve been working on a mysterious project. Is that true?


    N-no Im not. Jiang Yujings expression changed.


    Nian Xi didnt say anything else but looked straight ahead.


    After a long while, Jiang Yuning stuttered saying, Xi, its not that I dont want to tell you. Some projects are secret, especially now. Now is an era of high-tech development. Thepetition in the science world is very strong. Im not on that project anymore. Im only doing some small projects that will help people with their lives.


    I get it. Im not mad at you. I am a policewoman, so I can understand, said Nian Xi. You are doing the right thing not telling me.


    I understand. She stopped the car before a red light and continued by saying, Because we are the same. Our jobs require us to contribute to our country. She looked at him in the eyes.


    Her ck eyes glowed in the darkness, like the eyes of a cat. Jiang Yuning was nearly lost in those eyes. A short whileter, he smiled shyly and said, So, were such a good match.

 Chapter 1233. I Was Talking About Good-Goodnight Kiss… Can I Have One?

    Chapter 1233. I Was Talking About Good-Goodnight Kiss�� Can I Have One?


    Nian Xi felt a little speechless. How could that serious topic end there?


    However, he seemed to be right. They were a good match indeed. In the future, their children would feel honored to hear about their glorious stories.


    No Im thinking a bit too far Nian Xi told herself.


    The light turned green, so Nian Xi hurriedly started driving.


    After arriving at Jiang Yunings ce, Nian Xi said to him, I was going to take you to the hospital to change the fresh dressing on your wounds, but we didnt have time for that. Dont forget to let Uncle Han take you to the hospital tomorrow. I have to work tomorrow, so I cant go with you.


    Okay.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. It felt nice to have someone worried about him.


    He unfastened the safe belt and opened the car door. He abruptly turned back, looked at Nian Xi sheepishly and said, Xi


    Em? Looking at his ck, shining eyes, Nian Xis heart skipped a beat. Whats wrong?


    Nian Yuning scratched the back of his head and said with a slight disappointment, Are you gonna let me go, just like that?


    Nian Xi blinked her eyes, thought hard, then raised an arm and said, Oh, I forgot to say goodnight. Goodnight, rest early.


    Disappointedly, Jiang Yuning kept scratching his scalp and said, I was talking about good-goodnight kiss Can I have one?


    After saying that, he nced at her and then quickly dropped his head. He felt so shy.


    Nian Xi felt a little awkward. Wasnt that something boys should be doing? Did he want her to kiss him again? She couldnt do that.


    Eh this is only our first day, right? Nian Xi mumbled.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning was disappointed. How many days do we need to be together before we can give each other goodnight kisses?


    How am I supposed to know? Im not a rtionship expert. Nian Xi grew a little impatient.


    All right. I thought you were more experienced than I was. Jiang Yuning gave up. He got out of the car and said to her, Let me know when you get home.


    Okay.


    After Nian Xi left, Jiang Yuning went upstairs with sweetness in his heart. Uncle Han noticed him chuckling even when he was changing his shoes.


    You were out the whole day. Did something happen? Uncle Han couldnt help but ask.


    Jiang Yuning nodded and wrote, She kissed me. She said shell be responsible for me. Ive also met all her elderships. They like me.


    Uncle Han was stunned. So-so soon? Youve met her elderships already?


    Emm. Jiang Yuning smiled happily. They all support me.


    Uncle Han didnt know what to say. He knew that some people could fall into a rtionship very fast, but never heard anyone actually doing it.


    Then? he asked. Did her parents say anything else?


    Jiang Yuning tilted his head, thought for a moment, then wrote, I dont remember. But her grandma said we can arrange for our parents to meet each other.


    Uncle Han wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, Are you two getting married already?


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly to think. He hadnt prepared her a sweet home yet.


    Since Nian Xi lived in Xia City, the home should certainly be located there too. The apartment that he now lived in was a little too humble. He needed to buy a bigger apartment.


    You dont need to be in such a rush, Uncle Han hurriedly said to him. Youve just gotten together. Allow yourself some time. A kiss means nothing, so you should at least wait until you sleep together.


    S-sleep together? Jiang Yuning blushed a scarlet color.


    Dont tell me youve never thought about that. Uncle Han patted him on the shoulder, You need to start thinking about that.


    No. Jiang Yuning quickly shook his head. You need to get married first and then do that. I cant sleep with her before we get married. Thatll be bad for her.


    We are not ancient people, said Uncle Han. Since you two have be boyfriend and girlfriend, you should buy Miss. Nian some gifts when you have time. Send her something tomorrow. Flowers. It has to be flowers.


    Oh.


    The flowers for Nian Xi could not be just ordinary.

 Chapter 1234. Xi, Do You Miss Me?

    Chapter 1234. Xi, Do You Miss Me?


    Before bed, Nian Xi received Jiang Yunings WeChat message.


    Are we really together? Am I dreaming? What should I do? Im too happy to sleep. I miss you.


    After receiving countless messages from him, the sweetness in Nian Xis heart faded, and her patience ran out. She called him.


    Xi, do you miss me? Jiang Yunings happy voice was heard from the other side of the phone.


    Do you know what time it is? Nian Xi said reminding him.


    2:20 I didnt know it was sote.


    Now you know, so its time to sleep. Nian Xi almost wanted to cry. I need to work tomorrow morning.


    Im sorry. I thought you were already asleep. I meant for you to read my messages in the morning, said Jiang Yuning in a weak voice.


    Im a police officer. An emergency might happen at any time, so I normally dont turn off my phone. As for WeChat usually, no one would message me in the middle of the night. Nian Xi felt slightly sad to mention that. Most of the people her age had someone to worry about them at night.


    What a coincidence. No one messages me at night either, Jiang Yuning said.


    You didnt even have a phone before. Nian Xi found it funny.


    No one would message me even if I had a phone. Im going to let you sleep. Goodnight. After saying that, Jiang Yuning fell into silence.


    The call hadnt ended yet. Why dont you hang up? Nian Xi asked.


    I dont think hanging up on girls is polite. You hang up first.


    Nian Xi smiled and ended the call. After that, she found that she couldnt sleep. After all, it was her second rtionship. A lot of thoughts were going on in her mind.


    She had no regrets though. She couldnt stay single forever.


    In the morning, not long after she woke up, she received another message from Jiang Yuning.


    Have you had breakfast yet? Ill bring you some.


    Nian Xi told him not to do that. It wasnt necessary for him, an injured person, to deliver breakfast to her.


    After she arrived at the police station, Duan Yangs parents came over to thank her and Fang Qi.


    Officer Nian, Officer Fang, the real murderer who took our sons life might have gotten away if it wasnt for you two. Thank you, thank you so much. We dont have much to give, so this is only a small gift from us.


    Mr. and Mrs. Duan, please. Nian Xi hurriedly offered them seats. The gray-haired couple made her sigh. We did what we should have done. We cannot ept your gift. If we did, wed be failing our job. You two should head home.


    Weve lost our only son. Whats the point of our life now?


    Mr. and Mrs. Duan spent quite a while expressing their gratitude toward Nian Xi and her colleagues, then left in sadness.


    Looking at them leave, Nian Xi felt a little sad too. Why are there bad people in this world? I used to feel that being a police officer was exhausting and dangerous, but now, I seem to have found the meaning of it. Investigating, finding evidence. It doesnt matter what you do. Every step is critical for solving a case.


    Captain Chen patted her on the shoulder and said, Its good that you are thinking this way. You and Fang Qi worked well together this time. As this is your first case. I can say that you solved it rather speedily. You exerted yourself with no rest. Come to my officeter for your new case.


    We have a new case? Nian Xi curved her lips downward. There was a new case, meaning that something bad had happened.


    I too hope the world can be peaceful without any harm done. Captain Chen sighed.


    At 4:00 p.m., when Nian Xi and Fang Qi were discussing the new case, Uncle Han surprisingly showed up.

 Chapter 1235. Miss. Nian, This Flower Is From Mr. Jiang

    Chapter 1235. Miss. Nian, This Flower Is From Mr. Jiang


    Nian Xi wasnt expecting to see Uncle Han. She thought Jiang Yuning was with him, but as she looked behind Uncle Han, she saw no one. Instead, she noticed Uncle Han holding a potted nt.


    The nt wasnt big but was full of blossoms. White, green, pink, red, yellow, purple, all kinds of colors.


    Wow, so pretty. Are these daisies? Fan Yi was the first to be attracted by the flowers.


    Yes. Uncle Han nodded.


    Nian Xi spent a few seconds looking at the flowers, then asked, How can daisies have so many colors? And so many colors on only one nt?


    Yeah. Fang Qi came over and said, Ive never seen such colorful daisies.


    Uncle Han smiled and said, This is a new kind of daisy. Mr. Jiangs father spent five years cultivating it. You cant find them on the market.


    Oh. His words reminded Fang Qi. I almost forgot that Professor Jiangs father is a biologist. I still remember the watermelon that we hadst time.


    You can have some watermelons next summer when Mr. Jiang gives them to Miss Nian, said Uncle Han politely.


    Thank you very much. Fang Qi wanted to cry. He once protected Jiang Yuning, yet, he could only have some of Nian Xis watermelons.


    Miss Nian, Mr. Jiang asked me to bring the flowers to you. Uncle Han handed the daisies to Nian Xi and said, His butler from Beijing delivered this overnight.


    Nian Xi felt ttered. She carefully took over the daisies and murmured, Isnt this a little too precious? Has Yunings father cultivated a lot of these? Will he be unhappy these were given to me if these kinds of daisies are rare?


    An awkward look shed across Uncle Hans eyes, but still, he said, No. Dont worry. Just take it, cherish it, and dont let it die. I heard that a floriculture lover once offered three million for this type of daisy, but Mr. Jiangs father refused to sell it.


    Three million? Fang Qi looked at Nian Xi with jealousy. Xi, Professor Jiang is so generous.


    Holding the potted nt, Nian Xis hands were shaking. She felt so touched but also wanted to cry. But uncle Han, she said. I dont know how to look after nts. This nt is so precious. Im worried that I might fail to take good care of it. Cant you tell your Mr. Jiang to just give me some normal nts? The kind that costs only about a hundred yuan?


    Mr. Jiang said that he has to give you special flowers, Uncle Han said helplessly. I cant change his mind. Actually, its easy to take care of. All you need is light, water, fertilizer, and to keep it from diseases and injurious insects.


    That soundedplicated.


    If you really dont know how to do it, ask Mr. Jiang to look after it. Hell do whatever you say anyway. Uncle Han said atst, I have delivered the flowers, so I am now leaving. Call Mr. Jiang if there are any questions.


    After Uncle Han left, people who shared the office with Nian Xi came over to take pictures of the potted flower. They called it a miracle.


    Half an hourter, the director came over, looked at the nt, and clicked his tongue with surprise.


    As his subordinate, Nian Xi felt under pressure.


    After the director left, Nian Xi finally had a chance to call Jiang Yuning.


    Why did you send me such a precious nt?


    Do you like it? Jiang Yuning sounded happy. Flowers for you cant be ordinary.


    Nian Xi was touched. It was the first time someone put so much thought into her. Its pretty, she said. But if your father knew you gave me the daisies that he cultivated, would he want to kill you?


    No. Jiang Yuning didnt seem to care. He has a lily of the valley nt, with blossoms of seven or eight colors. Its pretty too, but sadly, its nted in the earth. Otherwise, Id have given you that.

 Chapter 1236. You Are Such a Black Sheep in Our Family! Why Do You Need a Girlfriend?

    Chapter 1236. You Are Such a ck Sheep in Our Family! Why Do You Need a Girlfriend?


    Nian Xi sighed with relief.


    Thankfully, the lily of the valley was growing in the earth. She wouldnt have known how to take care of it if Jiang Yuning gave it to her.


    I get what youre trying to say to me. Dont send me any more of your fathers flowers. Let your father keep them, Nian Xi hurriedly said to him. Its already hard for me to take care of myself and my dog. Its gonna be too tricky for me to look after precious nts. I never tried growing flowers. Even a cactus could die in my apartment.


    Really? How could any woman in the world not know how to grow a cactus?


    Its okay. Ill go to your ce from time to time to look after the flowers for you, said Jiang Yuning. Im going to clean your apartment anyway. You dont need to do anything but feel its beauty.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say.


    She suddenly doubted if she ever had a life before. Had she ever appreciated pretty flowers? She didnt think so.


    However, from this day on, she would be carefully appreciating the three-million yuan daisies.


    Oh, Xi, Im going to sign up for a drivers license test today, said Jiang Yuning happily. Ill invite you to go for a drive with me when I get my license.


    All right Nian Xi tried to encourage him. But wait until your hands recover. Also, dont give yourself too much pressure to drive.


    Sure. Are you busy today? Jiang Yuning said.


    A bit. We have a new case today.


    Did it happen at my university? Jiang Yuning asked.


    No. It happened in the countryside, near here.


    Why isnt it near my university? Jiang Yuning was disappointed.


    You want bad things to always happen near your university? Wherever we police officers go, we wont be going for good things, Nian Xi said.


    All right. Oh, theres arge-scale science fair in Xia City, the day after tomorrow. Would you like to go with me on a date? Jiang Yuning asked with a low, shy voice.


    I dont have time during the day. How about we go in the evening?


    The ce closes in the evening, said Jiang Yuning with disappointment.


    Then we can go for a movie together, said Nian Xi. You can book the tickets now. Remember, I want to watch the most popr and exciting movie.


    After ending the call, Jiang Yuning spent a short while thinking, then turned and asked Uncle Han, Whats the most exciting movie? Xi wants to watch that.


    Uncle Han stopped, then gave him a mysterious smile and said, I didnt know that Miss Nian is interested in excitement. All right, you let me worry about that.


    On hearing what Uncle Han said, Jiang Yuning felt relieved.


    At night, Jiang Yuning got a call from his father, Jiang Fei.


    I heard that you let someone take away my little daisyst night. Where did you take it? Send it back to me now.


    I gave it to someone, said Jiang Yuning with a deep voice.


    What? Jiang Feis voice almost blew up the phone. At that moment, he felt as if his blood had gone straight into his brain. You gave my treasure to someone? Do you know how many years I spent cultivating it? I have only managed to grow that single one so far. Are you trying to kill me? Who did you give it to? Bring it back now!


    No. Jiang Yuning shook his head without thinking. I gave it to my girlfriend. She loves it.


    Jiang Fei was so angry that he almost vomited blood. I cant believe you gave away my treasure to fawn on some woman. You are a ck sheep in our family. Why do you need a girlfriend? You should stay single forever.


    Stingy, Jiang Yuning mumbled. Im not giving it back to you anyway.


    You little b*stard wait


    Before he could finish, Jiang Yuning ended the call and then went back into hisb.

 Chapter 1237. Dont! How Can You Do This to Professor Jiang?

    Chapter 1237. Don''t! How Can You Do This to Professor Jiang?


    Mr. Jiang, maybe you shouldnt take your fathers treasures again. He really loves those daisies, said Uncle Han to Jiang Yuning with a bitter face.


    I will get Nian Xi anything she likes. Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    Uncle Han wiped the sweat off his forehead. Thankfully, Jiang Yuning was only a scientist. If he was a king, he might give away his kingdom.


    On Friday, before Nian Xi got off work, Cheng Jing suddenly pulled on her shoulder and said to her, Look at that handsome man! Oh my, hes so handsome!


    You are a married woman. Is it all right for you to be so excited when seeing a pretty guy? Nian Xi raised her head. She was surprised to see the boy who was standing before the police station, looking around.


    Lately, the air temperature had reached twenty. Jiang Yuning was wearing a pair of jeans, a denim jacket, and a white T-shirt underneath; he looked as clean as a college student.


    He was handsome indeed.


    Nian Xi nodded in agreement and said, I decided to hit on him.


    Cheng Jing stopped short, then said to her, No. You already have Professor Jiang. Leave that pretty boy alone.


    I cannot resist the temptation from that pretty boy. Watch me. Ill be holding his hand in five minutes. With a smile, Nian Xi walked away.


    On the outside, Fan Yi went up to Jiang Yuning and said, Professor Jiang, do you remember me? Ive been in yourb.


    Jiang Yuning turned his eyes to her. He didnt know she was at his side. Miss, do you know where Nian Xi is? Im her Im her boyfriend.


    He blushed when he said thest words. After all, it was the first time he said that to one of Nian Xis colleagues. He was so nervous.


    Are you and Nian Xi together? Fan Yi was so disappointed. She remembered Jiang Yuning sent Nian Xi flowers but didnt know that they were already together.


    Yeah, hes my boyfriend. Nian Xi showed up behind Jiang Yuning with a smile and said, Are we a good match?


    Yes. You two made a lovely couple. Fan Yi had no other choices but to walk away. Professor Jiang was so handsome. Why wasnt he, her boyfriend? Sigh.


    Nian Xi nced at Fan Yis back, then gave Jiang Yuning a meaningful smile and said, I didnt know that you were so popr. Did you have any suitors before?


    I dont know, said Jiang Yuning with confusion.


    What do you mean you dont know? Dont you know if any girl has pursued you? Nian Xi folded her arms.


    I really dont know. I only know that some girls used to talk to me about science, Jiang Yuning answered honestly.


    Nian Xi understood how absent-minded he could be sometimes. He rarely listened to other people. Indeed, he might not be aware that some girls were probably trying pretty hard to pursue him. It provided her, his girlfriend, a sense of security.


    Give me your hand, Nian Xi said to him smilingly.


    Jiang Yuning did what she said. She suddenly held his hand and stroked the back of it with her thumb.


    Xi, you Jiang Yunings cheeks reddened.


    What? You are mine now. Am I not allowed to hold your hand? Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and said in a low voice, You are. You are allowed to touch any part of my body.


    After saying that, he walked closer to her and looked at her in the eyes. His eyes were sparkling.


    Here, let me introduce you to one of my colleagues. Nian Xi held his hand and walked toward Cheng Jing, who at the moment, was dumbfounded.


    Cheng Jing hurriedly pulled Nian Xi to the side and whispered to her, Nian Xi, dont do this! How can you do this to Professor Jiang?

 Chapter 1238. Nian Xi Is Mine

    Chapter 1238. Nian Xi Is Mine


    The serious look on Cheng Jings face made Nian Xiugh. Can you please wait until Ive introduced him to you? This is Jiang Yuning, Professor Jiang, my boyfriend.


    With surprise, Cheng Jing turned around, looked at Jiang Yuning from head to toe, then drew Nian Xi to one side and said, How can Professor Jiang be so young and pretty? I heard from Fang Qi that hes handsome, but I thought he was an old-schooled scientist.


    Hearing someoneplimenting her boyfriend, Nian Xi was proud.


    He does look young, she said.


    Cheng Jing was almost full of jealousy. Nian Xi, Professor Jiang is so handsome. You should have been with him since long ago. If I were you, I would have jumped on him and kissed him when he told me that he liked me.


    How could you do that to your husband? Nian Xiughed.


    Forget about my husband. Im tempted by Professor Jiangs good-looks. Cheng Jiang smilingly reached out her hand toward Jiang Yuning and said to him, Professor Jiang, nice to meet you.


    She seemed to be Nian Xis close friend, so Jiang Yuning politely reached out to shake her hand. However, before he touched Cheng Jings hand, Nian Xi pulled his arm away.


    You are not allowed to touch any womans hand but mine. Even for shaking hands, you need to consider thoroughly before doing it, said Nian Xi bossily.


    You are so possessive Xi, Jiang Yuning murmured.


    You are right. I am very possessive, Nian Xi raised her brows.


    Xi, Ill do whatever you say, Jiang Yuning found the possessive Nian Xi so charming.


    Cheng Jing rolled her eyes, then said through clenched teeth, I am your friend. Im only going to shake his hand. Is this really necessary?


    Yes. Nian Xi chuckled. Not even my friend can take advantage of my boyfriend.


    Clearly your boyfriend is more important to you than your friend, Cheng Jing snorted, then left to work.


    Just sit here for a while. Im going to deliver something to the identification department. After that we can leave, Nian Xi said to Jiang Yuning, then left.


    Jiang Yuning sat quietly in Nian Xis chair. No important files were on her desk, only some snacks and teacups.


    He spent five minutes staring at the desk, then heard something at the door. He thought it was Nian Xiing back, but as he turned to the door, he saw Feng Ji Chuan carrying a stack of files.


    His rival of love was there.


    Jiang Yuning stopped short, then hurriedly put his arms on Nian Xis desk, looking at Feng Ji Chuan vigntly.


    Feng Ji Chuan slightly knitted his brows, but soon adjusted his expression and said, Hi, Professor Jiang. Wheres Nian Xi?


    My girlfriend headed to the identification department. Jiang Yuning kept resting his upper body on Nian Xis desk. It was his girlfriends desk. Only lying upon it made him feel that he possessed it. He must let his rival in love know that he and Nian Xi were already so close that he was allowed to put arms on her desk.


    Feng Ji Chuan paused briefly, pretending not to hear him say the word girlfriend. These files are for Nian Xi. Shes working on Li Viges case. Shes not making any progress, so I sorted some files for her. Dont forget to tell her.


    After saying that, he put the files on the desk.


    Looking at the files, Jiang Yuning felt upset. As Nian Xis boyfriend, he wasnt able to help her with her case at all. She still needed her ex-boyfriends help.


    That didnt feel good. He felt so useless.


    Nian Xi is mine, he thought for a moment, then gathered his courage and said it out loud.


    Feng Ji Chuan who was turning around paused. He turned back and said, Nian Xi belongs to nobody. Shes a tough girl. She wont let herself belong to anyone.


    I am hers then. You are not. Jiang Yuning felt upset hearing what Feng Ji Chuan had said.

 Chapter 1239. Isnt This a Little Too Soon?

    Chapter 1239. Isn''t This a Little Too Soon?


    Feng Ji Chuan stayed silent for a few seconds, then said, If you think this way, what if she abandoned you someday? She will always have the power of making decisions.


    Why would she abandon me? Jiang Yuning didnt understand.


    Professor Jiang, you are young and innocent. You will only understand how a rtionship works when you throw yourself into it. Youll learn that its not as easy as you think it is. Conflict can be easily generated when you spend time together. Its not easy for two people withpletely different personalities to be together. When he was finished talking, Feng Ji Chuan walked away, leaving Jiang Yuning in deep thought.


    Nian Xi returned to find Jiang Yuningying his upper body on her desk. His cheeks were squeezed against his arms, but still, he looked pretty.


    He was staring into the air, probably thinking about some profound scientific theory. She wouldnt know.


    Im done. Lets go. As Nian Xi grabbed her bag, she saw the files on her desk. Who brought these here?


    She picked up the files and browsed them. Isnt this Li Viges case? Eh? These look quite thorough. I could really use these. Did Fang Qi bring them here?


    My rival in love did, said Jiang Yuning with a muffled voice.


    Feng Ji Chuan? Nian Xi was surprised.


    So you also think hes my rival in love? Jiang Yuning was even more unhappy.


    You two made it so obvious in the courthouse. Im not stupid, said Nian Xi.


    Hes so nice to you, said Jiang Yuning. He found useful materials for you, while I cant help at all. All I can do is send you some earthy gifts such as flowers.


    He called a three-million yuan flower an earthy gift


    Nian Xis mouth twitched slightly. Jiang Yunings sad face reminded her of Jiang-jiang. Every time she refused to hug the dog, the dog would put on a sad face like that. She suddenly started to miss Jiang-jiang. She wasnt a good owner. She always left him at home.


    Youre distracted. Jiang Yunings face paled. Are you thinking about your ex-boyfriend?


    Would he be abandoned in just a few days after he just got together with her?


    No, Im thinking about Jiang-jiang, said Nian Xi.


    Whos Jiang-jiang? Jiang Yuning stood up in a panic. Do I have other rivals in love?


    Jiang-jiang is my dog. Nian Xiughed.


    Im talking to you about Feng Ji Chuan. Why are you thinking about your dog? Jiang Yuning was confused. When did you get a dog? Why is the dog named Jiang-jiang? Your dog and I have the same family name.


    Eh I didnt name the dog. My brother did, said Nian Xi. She couldnt tell him that he was the reason why the dog was named Jiang-jiang.


    Oh, Jiang Yuning said. Thankfully your dog is not named Ning-ning, or you wouldnt be able to call me that.


    The dog was almost named Ning-ning


    Nian Xi put the files that Feng Ji Chuan gave her, into the cab and locked them up. No matter why Feng Ji Chuan sorted those files for her, she had to ept them. After all, they were really important.


    Xi, this is for you. Jiang Yuning suddenly took out a small ring and handed it to Nian Xi. The ring looked like a water drop, sparkling.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Was he giving her a diamond ring already?


    Eh isnt this a little too soon?


    Soon? Jiang Yuning didnt understand. I dont think so.


    Youre giving me a ring. The diamond looks big, Nian Xi said in a low voice. This cost you a fortune, didnt it?


    It didnt cost any money. I made it. Jiang Yuning smiled. The diamond is big but is hollow.

 Chapter 1240. How Could You Kiss Me in Public?

    Chapter 1240. How Could You Kiss Me in Public?


    Nian Xi stayed silent. All right, she was overthinking. She thought the ring was worth millions. If it was, it would be the most expensive ring that she had received from a boy.


    She felt both pressure and happiness when she thought about it.


    Its hollow because its a weapon, Jiang Yuning said. After what happenedst time, I feel that you might often need to face danger. Here is a tiny button on the ring. When youre fighting someone, you only need to press this button for ten seconds. The needle in the ring will pop out when you press the button and its covered in an anesthetic. A tiny bit can paralyze your enemy for three hours.


    Nian Xi was almost overjoyed to receive that gift. So I can easily put down anyone stronger than I am?


    Jiang Yuning nodded, then said to her, When my hands recover, Ill make you a couple of more weapons for your protection. Xi, I cant be like Feng Ji Chuan I cant find materials for you and crack your case, but I can make you many things to help guarantee your safety.


    Nian Xi was touched. So in the end, he was still upset about what happened earlier.


    You dont need topare yourself with Feng Ji Chuan, said Nian Xi. What I want is the same as what most girls want. I only want my other-half to care for me, and to always love me, me solely.


    But Jiang Yuning remembered what Feng Ji Chuan said before leaving. He was worried, but he didnt mention it, as he was afraid that Nian Xi might dislike him for talking too much. Its okay. Never mind. Lets go to dinner. Ive booked a table and told the restaurant that well be there at half-past seven. We might bete if we dont leave now.


    All right. Nian Xi nodded. The two of them went outside.


    The dinner was hotpot. Nian Xi had the spicy hotpot while Jiang Yuning had the light-vored.


    After spending quite some time eating the spicy food alone, Nian Xi felt a little bored. She turned to Jiang Yuning and said to him, Good boy, open your mouth.


    Its too spicy. Jiang Yuning looked at themb roll which was covered in spicy oil.


    It only looks spicy. Do you want me to feed you? Nian Xi blinked and said, Its delicious.


    Under her threat, Jiang Yuning reluctantly opened his mouth.


    She put themb into his mouth. Before long, Jiang Yunings lips, cheeks, and eyes all turned red. He looked even prettier than some girls.


    Its so hot. He drank a couple of sses of water in a row, then finally felt better. With a grievance, he nced at Nian Xi and said, You lied to me.


    Nian Xi stared at his red, tempting lips. How could she not kiss those lips?


    She grasped his cor, pulled him close to her, then kissed him on the lips.


    Jiang Yuning was so shocked that he forgot about the burning feeling in his mouth.


    It took a while for him toe back to his senses. Even his ears had turned red. He hurriedly looked around. Thankfully, no one was paying attention to him and Nian Xi. He still felt shy.


    How could you kiss me in public?


    In ancient times, what she did just now would be called a breach of morality. But somehow, he liked it so much.


    I dont need to exin. Nian Xi grinned, then dropped her head and continued eating.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned.


    At that very moment, he stared at Nian Xi who was showered under the light, feeling that she was so charming.


    Xi, feed me, he thought then finally said to her.


    Sure, Nian Xi gave a faint smile. asionally, she put the spicy food into his mouth.


    Jiang Yuning was disappointed because Nian Xi didnt kiss him again after he ate the spicy food.

 Chapter 1242. What Do You Think… About My Kissing Skills?

    Chapter 1242. What Do You Think�� About My Kissing Skills?


    She spent quite a while waiting, but he wasnt moving at all. His body wasnt as tense as it was at first though.


    Only until her neck started growing stiff, did he slowly move his lips away from hers and whispered, It was such a long kiss.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. Was that even a kiss? It was just lips pressing against each other.


    Jiang Yuning seemed to have enjoyed it so much. Seeing the look of satisfaction on his face, Nian Xi wasnt sure if she shouldugh or be mad. He was such an innocent, old-school boy.


    Xi, you do not look happy. Why? Was I too rude? Jiang Yuning grew nervous.


    No Nian Xi worried that he might not have the courage to kiss her ever again, so she hurriedly shook her head.


    Jiang Yuning sighed with relief; he had a joyful look in his eyes.


    Nian Xi wasnt unhappy, meaning that he could always kiss her. He was thrilled to realize that.


    Then what do you think about my kissing skills?


    Nian Xi honestly didnt know what to say.


    Did he use any skill at all? Any person could do what he did. It wasnt skillful at all.


    However, as the boy was looking at her with his sparkling eyes, she didnt have the heart to say anything bad to him.


    Good, she said.


    Im d you liked it. Jiang Yuning coyly scratched his head.


    When the two of them got out of the car, Nian Xi was still feeling a little confused, while Jiang Yuning was happy.


    They went upstairs, into the private theater. There were some people already there. The ce looked really fancy as it had a game room, a coffee house, some crane machines, and there were also snacks for the customers.


    They arrived a little too early. It wasnt time for them to enter the theater room, so Nian Xi yed a few rounds of the game outside, and then spent some money on the crane machines. She didnt win any prizes from the machines though.


    Dont y this. It seems easy, but its actually a trick. Jiang Yuning hurriedly pointed at an unnoticeable doll in a corner.


    Nian Xi sighed. Its hard to win a doll. Last year, I spent over a hundred to catch a tiny key chain.


    Let me. Jiang Yuning smilingly put two coins into a machine. Before long, he caught a small, brown teddy bear. Nian Xi was so surprised that she even hopped a little. She took over the teddy bear and kissed him on the cheek. Youre amazing! How did you do it? Tell me about the trick! she said.


    Seeing the girl acting so passionate, Jiang Yuning felt like drowning from the sweetness in his heart. He had seen people ying crane machines on the street. He found that childish back then, but now, as he was ying it with the girl he liked, he understood why so many boys liked to y crane machines with girls.


    However, those boys were so dumb. The game was so easy, but they barely won anything for the girls.


    Its easy. Earlier, when you did it, I calcted its speed and strength, so I could tell which one could be caught and which could not, Jiang Yuning said, carefully exining it to her. Do I need to tell you about the equation that I used?


    Eh dont bother, Nian Xi said. He called it simple. No ordinary person could possibly do that. How about you stand behind me, hold my hand and help me do it.


    With that idea, Nian Xi hurriedly put herself in his arms and put her hand on the joystick.


    Jiang Yunings chest was pressed tightly against her back. His pretty face was so pink. He nced at her delicate hand on the joystick, then took a deep breath,id his hand upon hers, and then helped her catch a pink piglet from the machine.


    About ten minutester, the two of them won over ten stuffed toys from the machine. The other girls all started to look at them with jealousy.


    One of them evenined to her boyfriend saying, Youre so clumsy. You cant even catch one of these for me. Look at her boyfriend. He caught one in every minute, and every single one he caught is cuter than the previous one.

 Chapter 1243. Are We Going to Lie on the Same Bed?

    Chapter 1243. Are We Going to Lie on the Same Bed?


    Hes just lucky, the boy murmured.


    Can luck get him that many toys? Its called capability, the girl said grumpily.


    The boy wasnt happy to hear that.


    As Jiang Yunings girlfriend, Nian Xi enjoyed being stared at by so many girls with jealousy.


    She raised her head to nce at Jiang Yuning. He didnt have a pointed chin. His chin was perfectly shaped, and the light pouring down from above, made him look even more handsome than before.


    Her man was amazing.


    With that thought, she turned back, stood on her tiptoes and kissed him hard on the lips.


    This is your reward, she said.


    Thank you The sudden kiss thrilled Jiang Yuning. Xi, Ill empty this machine for you.


    The manager who wasing towards them heard what he said. The mans legs trembled a little. Miss, Sir, youve gotten quite a lot of toys from the machine already. Were still trying to do business here. Can you please stop? How about I treat you for coffee on the house?


    Nian Xi understood the managers meaning. She already had quite a lot of stuffed toys anyway. She nodded and said, Keep these toys for us. Ille and get them after the movie.


    At half-past seven, as the two of them were walking toward the theater room, Nian Xi was still holding a stuffed toy in her hands.


    Xi, I didnt know you liked stuffed toys. Jiang Yuning was surprised.


    Why cant I like stuffed toys? Nian Xi gave him a cold nce and said, Do you think that Im like a boy and I shouldnt like things like this?


    No Jiang Yuning turned his eyes away, blinking. That was exactly what he thought.


    Two minutester, the waiter pushed open the door of a room. The room was tastefully decorated. The ceiling looked like a starry night sky. On the table were fruits, snacks and a bottle of wine. However, there were no chairs in the room, only a round bed.


    Jiang Yuning was a little confused. Where are we sitting? He stuttered to ask the waiter.


    On the bed. The waiter looked at them in a meaningful way.


    Jiang Yuning felt as if the bottom of his feet were on fire. Nian Xi wasnt doing any better than he was. She knew that Uncle Han wasnt up to something good, but she did not expect to see only a bed in the room. How could Uncle Han do that?


    Can we switch rooms?


    You need to book the room in advance. We dont have a spare room for you now. Besides, this room is booked for the whole night. You can watch any movie youd like, the waiter said, then put on a movie for them. Earlier when you booked this room, you asked for this movie. Ive prepared it for you. You can sit down and start watching. If you want to switch the movie, use the remote control.


    After he was finished talking, the waiter closed the door and left.


    The sound of the movie echoed through the small room. Jiang Yuning stood there with confusion. When Nian Xi looked at him with a faint smile, he hurriedly raised his right hand and said, I swear I didnt tell Uncle Han to book the room for the whole night.


    Nian Xi red at him and said, Ill book the tickets next time.


    She really shouldnt have given him such a task.


    Im sorry, I didnt know Uncle Han would do this. Jiang Yuning was so upset. What should we do now? Are we going to lie on the same bed?


    Forget it. This isnt a bed anyway. Its a sofa bed. Well head home after finishing one film. Nian Xi sat down and leaned on the bed. There were a lot of cushions on the bed, so it wasfortable.


    She wasnt worried. He was so conservative that he wouldnt do anything to her, not even if Uncle Han had drugged him.

 Chapter 1244. I Feel Hot

    Chapter 1244. I Feel Hot


    Seeing her lying on the bed, Jiang Yuning slowlyid down too. It was the first time heid on a bed with a girl. He felt so nervous and shy.


    Xi, do you want anything to eat?


    He turned to look at Nian Xi. Feeling that she was too far away from him, he moved slightly closer to her without thinking. In the end, he identally touched her hand.


    He wasnt prepared for that. He flinched, worrying that Nian Xi might think he was trying to do something to her on the bed. As she made no reaction, he sighed with relief.


    At that moment, he heard a man and a woman gasping. He turned to the screen and saw a man a woman kissing passionately. The mans hands were all over the womans body. It was nothing like the way he kissed Nian Xi.


    His face and ears turned red, but he didnt turn his eyes away from the screen.


    Nian Xi was feeling awkward too. She knew that Uncle Han wouldnt pick a normal film.


    She turned to re at Jiang Yuning, but found him staring at the screen without blinking.


    Jiang Yuning Nian Xi kicked his leg and said, Did you take me here to watch this kind of film on purpose?


    No. Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly.


    But you seem to be enjoying it. Nian Xi snorted.


    As her voice faded, the man and the woman on the screen had started some further interactions. Not much flesh was seen, but the arousing postures and the breathing sound all pointed out the theme.


    Jiang Yuning suddenly felt hot. He hurriedly sat up and took off his coat.


    What are you doing Nian Xi gave a start, looking at him vigntly.


    Im feeling hot. I think the air isnt flowing in this room, said Jiang Yuning with a dry voice.


    Hearing that, Nian Xi started feeling hot too.


    However, the theater was a public ce. Nian Xi figured the film wouldnt go too far.


    Thankfully, the man and the woman stopped making out. However, they started to have sex.


    Nian Xi couldnt bear watching it. She sat up, picked up the remote control and stopped ying the film.


    Jiang Yuning sighed with relief. He felt bad about his mistake. Xi, you pick a film, he said.


    Atst, Nian Xi picked a Hollywood movie that was released not long ago. Jiang Yuning rarely watched movies like that, but he was willing to watch anything that Nian Xi liked.


    Xi, would you like some fruit?


    Yeah, bring me some. Nian Xi found watching a movie on the bed, enjoyable. Being a police officer was a demanding job. She always felt tired. But now, she rxed like azy cat.


    Jiang Yuning fawningly served fruit to her. Which one would you like?


    Seeing the grapefruit on the te, Nian Xi recalled how Nian Junting always asked Luosang to peel grapefruit for him. With that thought, she said to Jiang Yuning, Peel me some grapefruit.


    Sure. Jiang Yuning carefully peeled it, but he wasnt good at it. As he finally finished peeling the fruit and handed it to Nian Xi, she opened her mouth and said, Feed me.


    Jiang Yuning paused for a few seconds, then hurriedly said, Sure, you are my queen. I should be feeding you. You didnt need to remind me that.


    Good boy. Nian Xi loved it.


    She thought for a moment, took a picture, then sent it to Nian Junting, along with a messageBrother, my boyfriend is peeling grapefruit for me. All I need to do is open my mouth.


    Xi, eating grapefruit must have made you tired. Here, have some lemonade, said Jiang Yuning.


    Nian Xi took a sip of the drink and tasted the sweetness of honey.


    Why lemonade? she said.

 Chapter 1245. Jiang Yuning Felt Sweet

    Chapter 1245. Jiang Yuning Felt Sweet


    Nian Xi smilingly raised her head and said, What do you mean? Do you and Uncle Han both think I need to whiten my skin?


    Realizing that he might have said something wrong, Jiang Yuning hurriedly shook his head and said, No I said Uncle Han might think so. I like you, whether you are white or not.


    Nian Xi snorted, then gave him a kick on the leg.


    Jiang Yuning dodged the kick, then crawled slightly closer to her and said fawningly, Xi, I was wrong. Dont be mad.


    Be quiet. Im watching the movie. Nian Xi red at him.


    Jiang Yuning immediately shut his mouth. He didnt dare say another word, but quietly put food into her mouth.


    After her stomach was full, Jiang Yuningid down by her side and held her hand.


    She had calluses on her palms. Jiang Yuning picked up her hand and spent a short while looking at it. Seeing that she was focused on the movie, he sneakily kissed the back of her hand.


    After kissing her, he looked at her face. She didnt seem to have felt the kiss at all, so he kissed her again.


    The back of Nian Xis hand was itchy. She was looking at the screen, but through the corner of her eye, she was also paying attention to Jiang Yuning. Her eyes grasped every small movement of his.


    Seeing the boy kiss her stealthily, she didnt have the heart to tell him that she knew what he was doing.


    Because of her connivance, Jiang Yunings small feeling of courage grewrger andrger. He also moved closer and closer to her.


    As he moved his chest toward her, Nian Xi put her head on his chest.


    Jiang Yuning felt ttered. Before, they had just hugged. But now, she was leaning into his arms.


    He lowered his head and carefully looked at the girl who was leaning on his chest. It was the first time he found her so much like a little bird, resting upon a man. He really wished the movie could be longer than it was. He wanted so much to hold her tight.


    As that thought popped into his head, he tried to put a hand on her waist. He had identally touched her waist earlier when they were ying a game, but back then, the two of them werent alone.


    With an arm around her, he felt so sweet.


    But still, it wasnt enough.


    Hended his eyes on her full lips. Earlier, she didnt stop him from kissing her, so he figured that he could do it again.


    He clenched his fists and struggled for about five minutes. He then took a very deep breath and whispered to her, Xi, I


    What? He had leaned his head toward her a few times and then moved back. Nian Xi had noticed and found it amusing. He only wanted to kiss her. Why was he so timid?


    You are you are amazing. The movie you picked is fabulous. Jiang Yuning recalled Nian Xi kissing him after he won her a toy from the crane machine. He thought for a moment, then quicklyplimented her and then kissed her on the lips.


    Nian Xi was stunned by his silly excuse. Before she could react, he tempted to put his tongue into her mouth.


    She trembled slightly and opened her eyes. Her eyshes were like long feathers. She saw the boy close his eyes tight. His eyshes were shaking, probably because he was nervous.


    Her heart was softened, upied by sweetness. She reached out and put her arms around his waist.


    Jiang Yuning held his breath. Her aroma filled up his nostrils, and her soft body was lying underneath him. He seemed to have finally figured out why most men wanted to get married.


    The scenes from the film that he watched earlier shed through his mind. Once again, he tried to open her mouth with his tongue.


    When their tongues tangled together, he felt sweetness, as if he was tasting a fresh fruit, which was sweet and juicy.


    He seemed to have understood that was a real kiss. What happened before was nothing inparison with a real kiss.


    It was like the two of them had grown closer to each other.

 Chapter 1246. He Wanted to Hold Her. He Hated to Part With Her

    Chapter 1246. He Wanted to Hold Her. He Hated to Part With Her


    He didnt know how long the kisssted.


    The longer itsted, the more he liked it, and the more he didnt want to stop.


    He even wished he could kiss her until the morning. Sadly, Nian Xi turned her face away before long.


    Xi, dont you want to kiss me again?


    Maybe the kiss hadsted too long. His voice was deep and dry, sounding indescribably temping in the darkness. Nian Xis thumping heart skipped a beat. She felt as if a tiny hand was scratching her heart, making her feel itchy and numb.


    Weve kissed for a long time. I need to watch the movie. Fortunately, the room was dark and he couldnt see how red her cheeks were.


    Jiang Yuning kissed a little rusty at first, butter, he kissed her harder and harder. It was probably an instinct for men.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning felt disappointed. After the intimate interaction, he hadpletely lost his interest in the movie.


    He had just kissed her for the first time, and he wanted to do it again.


    He worried that Nian Xi might be unhappy, so he had no other choice but to restrain his desire.


    Finally, the movie ended. It was already about 10:00 p.m. Nian Xi picked up her coat and prepared to get up. However, he abruptly held her hand and stopped her.


    She turned back and found Jiang Yuning looking at her with sparkling eyes, just like how Jiang-jiang looked at meat.


    W-what? She grew nervous under his gaze.


    I want another kiss, Jiang Yuning said, then quickly leaned toward her and put an arm around her waist.


    Nian Xis breath stopped short. Now he had tasted her kiss and would never stop wanting more.


    She trusted him, but the two of them were on a bed. She didnt dare to take the risk.


    The boy was clearly waiting for a kiss.


    Nian Xi dropped her head, kissed him on the lips, then said, Lets go.


    Thats not what I was talking about. Jiang Yuning pressed his lips together and said, I want what we did just now.


    Nian Xi blushed scarlet.


    Dont push it, she said. We kissed for so long today.


    Im sorry. Nian Xi seemed to be a little unhappy, so Jiang Yuning hurriedly got up from the bed, feeling upset. He was probably too rude. After all, it was only their first official date. They had alreadyid on the same bed and had kissed for a long time. He really shouldnt want more.


    But he couldnt help. He tried it for the first time, and he couldnt help wanting more.


    When leaving the room, he even felt that holding her hand wasnt enough. He wanted to hold her. He hated to part with her.


    After leaving the theater, Jiang Yuning put a few stuffed toys into the trunk, then said to Nian Xi, Dont drive me home, just go straight to your house. Ill ask the chauffeur to pick me up and Ill carry these things upstairs for you since there are too many.


    Do you want to go to my apartment? Nian Xi turned, looking at him in the eyes.


    Its not like that. Im just worried that you might not be able to carry all these upstairs by yourself. Jiang Yuning blushed. Also, I dont want you to always drive me home and the daisy needs fertilizer.


    So youre prepared. Nian Xi snorted, raised her eyebrows and said, You wont refuse to leave once you go inside my ce, will you?


    Of course I wont. Jiang Yuning blushed scarlet. What kind of person do you think I am?


    Like youve never done that before. Nian Xi poked his chest and said, You followed me every time you got lost. Youve even slept in my brothers ce, and mine.


    At that time I found you so warm. Jiang Yuning felt ashamed to hear her mention that. He didnt realize that before, but after he got together with her, he learned that boys and girls could really be different sometimes.


    I guess I fell for you at first sight, he said.

 Chapter 1247. You Are Not Jealous of Jiang-Jiang, Are You?

    Chapter 1247. You Are Not Jealous of Jiang-Jiang, Are You?


    You are saying sweet words now. I never heard you say anything like that before. All you did was follow me everywhere. How could you fall for me at first sight? I cried like hell in front of you when we first met.


    You looked pretty when you were crying, Jiang Yuning whispered.


    Nian Xi smiled, feeling sweetness in her heart. After all, every girl liked to hearpliments, but she still wasnt sure if he was telling the truth or not.


    Then you touched me. Jiang Yuning felt very shy to mention it. No one has ever touched me


    Speaking of that, Nian Xi really wished there was a hole for her to crawl into. That was an ident, she said. I get it. I touched you, so I left a deep impression. Is that true? What if I didnt touch you? What if it was someone else?


    Jiang Yuning stopped short, carefully thought about it, then furrowed his brows and let out one word saying, Disgusting.


    Nian Xi liked that answer. After getting into the car, she thought for a moment, then turned, stared at him and said with a bossy tone, Remember, you are not allowed to let anyone touch that area of your body, men or women.


    I know. My mom told me that when I was little. Jiang Yuning nodded and said, What about you? Can you touch it?


    Eh-hem. Nian Xi wondered if he asked that question on purpose. Me? Im, of course, an exception, she said.


    Oh, I get it. So youre the only one in the world who can touch that part of me. Jiang Yuning looked at her and smiled.


    The conversation got dirtier and dirtier. Nian Xi felt a little awkward.


    Dont tell Uncle Han about what I said to you, she said.


    I understand, he responded.


    No, you dont, Nian Xi thought.


    After the car was parked in the parking lot of Nian Xis apartment, Jiang Yuning carried the pile of stuffed toys into the elevator.


    Once the door was opened, a short-legged dog swiftly rushed at Nian Xi, jumped on her thighs, and barked loudly, looking pitiful.


    All right, all right, Im sorry that I came homete. I know that youre so lonely. Nian Xi hurriedly held Jiang-jiang in her arms and petted him.


    Jiang-jiang enjoyed the petting very much. He rubbed against Nian Xis chest with his head, staring at Jiang Yuning with one eye, in an unfriendly way. He seemed to not like the strange guest.


    Jiang Yuning envied Jiang-jiang. He and the dog shared the same family name, but why were they treated so differently? He also wanted Nian Xi to stroke his neck.


    Xi, dont hold it. Dogs have parasites. Its dirty.


    Nian Xi knitted her brows and said, No. I take him to the pet salon for a shower every week. He has all his vines. Hes clean.


    I dont think so, said Jiang Yuning with a muffled voice. This type of dog sheds a lot. Living in such an environment might easily cause respiratory diseases, not to mention the fact that you dont like cleaning your ce.


    Do you not like dogs? Nian Xu was suffering from a headache. If that was the case, things would be troublesome. Didnt you say that you like me? If you like me, cant you ept my pet? Jiang-jiang is my family. Ever since the day I decided to have him, Ive been telling myself that I will never abandon him.


    As Nian Xis tone of speaking grew serious, Jiang Yuning panicked. He hurriedly exined saying, Thats not what I meant. I just felt that you should be close to me, not with a dog.


    So youre not jealous of Jiang-Jiang, are you? Nian Xi slightly raised her brows and gave a faint smile.


    Jiang Yuning embarrassedly dropped and scratched the back of his head.


    Im thirsty. I want some water, he said. He walked toward the kitchen with his head held low.

 Chapter 1248. This Man Is Mine. You Are Not Allowed to Kiss Him Again

    Chapter 1248. This Man Is Mine. You Are Not Allowed to Kiss Him Again


    Nian Xi watched him flee into the kitchen; she found him so cute.


    She wanted so much to press him down onto the bed.


    It was the first time he used Nian Xis water cooler. He spent quite a while trying to figure it out but still didnt know which button to press. He couldnt find the sses either.


    From behind him, Nian Xi handed him a disposable cup and said, This button is warm water.


    Jiang Yuning poured himself a cup of water and then took a gulp. He then saw Nian Xis smiling, pretty face.


    Arent you going to let me have some? she asked him.


    Jiang Yuning stopped short and handed her the cup of water without thinking.


    Nian Xi shook her head, then leaned her head slowly toward him. Her full, moist lips curved into a foxy smile.


    I want to drink from your mouth, she said.


    Jiang Yuning gawked at her. His brain was buzzing.


    Before long, his fair skin turned red, like boiled prawns. Even his breath became shallow and uneven.


    He slightly moved his lips. Before he could do anything else, Nian Xi had thrown herself on him and pressed her lips against his.


    Jiang Yuning automatically opened his mouth to wee her.


    After the kiss, Jiang Yuning finally realized what was happening. He mumbled, Im sorry. Ive swallowed the water. Maybe I should put some more in my mouth.


    Silly boy. I was joking with you, Nian Xi found the nervous boy so adorable and innocent. She really enjoyed making him nervous without knowing what to do. She liked to see him feeling shy.


    After she was finished talking, she closed her eyes and kissed him again.


    Jiang Yuning spent a few seconds in a daze, then kissed her deeply. He didnt have enough of her back in the theater room.


    To his surprise, he was allowed to kiss her again in her apartment. Jiang Yuning was thrilled. Howe his Xi was so good at tempting him?


    Time and time again, he tried to stop but could not.


    Jiang-jiang raised his head and looked at the two people. He couldnt bear being ignored, so he barked and scratched their trousers with his ws.


    The dog was so noisy, the two people couldnt concentrate on kissing.


    After kissing, Jiang Yuning angrily squatted, stared at Jiang-jiang and said to him, You are very noisy.


    Jiang-jiang blinked, looked at him for a while, then suddenly put its forelimbs on his knees and gave him a lick on the lips.


    Nian Xi was stunned, as was Jiang Yuning. When he realized what had just happened, he immediately stood up and wiped his mouth as hard as possible. He then rushed to the tap to wash his mouth out, as if his lips were tainted by venom.


    He had just kissed Nian Xi. His mouth was full of her aroma, so he was reluctant to wipe it away. However, his lips were polluted by a dog.


    After spending a while cleaning himself, he looked at Nian Xi with a grievance and said, Xi, why is your dog such a rascal? Come on, kiss me again to remove its scent. Or I might suffer psychological effects.


    Nian Xi gave him a nce with pity, then shook her head and said, Im sorry. I dont think I can kiss you now.


    Jiang Yuning felt upset. He dropped his head and saw Jiang-jiang circling his feet.


    Jiang-jiang seems to like you. Oh, I forgot to tell you that shes a girl. Nian Xi tried not tough out loud.


    Jiang Yunings face instantly twisted, as if he had eaten poop.


    Nian Xi bent over, rubbed Jiang-jiangs head and said to the dog, Jiang-jiang, you cant be so half-hearted. Isnt your boyfriend Xiaosi? How can you abandon him? Im telling you, this man is mine. You are not allowed to kiss him again. Do you understand?


    After saying that, she poked Jiang-jiangs head.


    Jiang Yuning felt much better.


    As Nian Xi stood up, he put his arms around her from behind, buried his head in her neck and said to her with a soft voice, Im yours.

 Chapter 1249. Its Your Brother

    Chapter 1249. It''s Your Brother


    That soft voice of his even melted Nian Xis heart.


    Jiang-jiang was nothing. Jiang-jiang was far less cute than he was, and could never be as coquettish as him.


    Nian Xi had never seen such a coquettish man before.


    When she was with Feng Ji Chuan, Feng Ji Chuan was always the one leading their rtionship. Added with the fact that he was always serious, Nian Xi never had the courage to do what she did to Jiang Yuning to him.


    She drooled at his body, but never dared to make any move but watch.


    Now


    Nian Xi turned around, looked at Jiang Yuning straight in the eyes, whispered, Yes, you are mine. From now on, you are not allowed to look at other women, or be kissed by any dog, not even mine dog


    Oh, okay, Jiang Yuning nodded shyly.


    Silly boy, Nian Xi couldnt hold it anymore. She put her arms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, kissed him again.


    She liked him more and more.


    Jiang Yuning felt so sweet in the heart.


    At that moment, door knocks could be heard.


    Whos that? Nian Xi knitted her brows.


    Its sote. It cant be anyone good. You wait here. Ill get the door, Jiang Yuning held her, didnt let her go to the door.


    Nian Xi looked at the nervous boys back, wanted tough. She was a policewoman. How could she be afraid of the bad guys? However, him being at home with her did provide her with a sense of security, even though she was a policewoman.


    Jiang Yuning looked outside through the peephole, then turned and said to her, Its your brother.


    Nian Xi was stunned.


    Why did Nian Junting go all the way to her apartment sote at night? Was he jealous of her because she had peeled grapefruits?


    My brother has the key. Just open the door, Nian Xi waved her hand.


    Jiang Yuning opened the door. Nian Juntings cold face grew even colder when he saw him.


    What are you doing here sote at night? He said.


    I Jiang Yuning blushed when hearing that question. What happened when he first came in shed through his mind, made him feel shy. Im here to


    Why are you so mean to my boyfriend? Nian Xi walked over, pulled Jiang Yuning behind herself, then said to her brother, We were out on a date tonight. We watched a movie together. He got me a lot of stuff toys from the crane machine. I couldnt carry them all up here, so I asked him to carry those toys for me.


    Yeah? Why is his face so red then? Nian Junting narrowed his eyes, observed the two. The two people were still neatly dressed. However, based on his experiments, he could tell for sure that something happened between them just now. Thankfully, he arrived on time. If he came a little bitter, something worse might have happened between that young, horny couple.


    He would never let the boy take advantage of his sister before he even proposed to her.


    I feel not, Jiang Yuning stuttered to answer the question.


    You should feel hot. After all, you are a boy, shes a girl, and you two were here alone, Nian Junting gave a fake smile.


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head. Nian Junting had pointed out exactly what he was thinking.


    Nian Xi gave her brother a re, said, Do you know what time is it now? What are you doing here? Why arent you home with your wife and kid?


    I came here to give you a surprise check, Nian Junting changed his shoes, walked in, said, Sangsang wille home at twelve. Apple is sleeping. I have time.


    Nian Xis mouth corners twitched slightly. She understood.


    Sangsang wasnt home, so he came to discipline his sister.


    Oh, the picture you sent me earlier, Nian Junting took out his phone with a smile, said, Why the background looks like a bed? Didnt you guys go for a movie?


    Nian Xi fell into silence.


    She was so eager to show off to her brother, that she didnt pay attention to the background in the photo at all.

 Chapter 1250. From This Day On, Im Going to Live A Free, Passionate Life

    Chapter 1250. From This Day On, I''m Going to Live A Free, Passionate Life


    Jiang Yuning who was standing beside Nian Xi almost froze.


    If Nian Xis brother found out that he and Nian Xi hadin on the same bed on their first date, her brother might think of him as an indecent man.


    Nian Junting looked around, then gave a cold smile, said, You didnt go to that kind of private theater which had a bed in each room, did you?


    Jiang Yuning hardly dared to breathe.


    We did. So what? I booked the tickets, said Nian Xizily, Were together now. Why do you care so much about our date? Just mind your own business.


    You failed yourst rtionship, and wasted so many years. How can I not care about you? Nian Juntings face was ck as thunder, Dont you take the credit. I bet it was him who booked the tickets. You might be bold sometimes, but not this bold.


    After saying that, he turned, stared at Jiang Yuning, sneered, I thought you are a good one. Youve only been together for a few days, but already, you took her to a theater room which had a bed in it. You are quite intentioned. Tell me, what did you want to do to my sister


    I-Im sorry Jiang Yuning felt so ashamed that he even wanted a hole to crawl into.


    Why are you apologizing? Nian Xi shielded him, said, Dont make it sound like youve neverin on the same bed with Sangsang before you two got married. Dont tell me that you never had premarital sex. I wont believe it.


    Yes, we did lie on the same bed before we got married. But we did no more than simply lying under the cover, said Nian Junting, Besides, who am I? Since the moment I chose her, Id never abandon her. Id be responsible for her until the end of the day. You are too young. You have no idea that not every man is like your brother. Ji Chuan is like a brother of mine, but still, I kept a close eye on him when you were with him, not to mention this guy.


    Before, I agreed with you. But now, things are different, Nian Xi said with regret, I can be with anyone I want to be with, and I can sleep with anyone I want to sleep with. I need to free myself before I turned old.


    You Nian Junting was so angry that he even started shaking. That is wrong! What if the guy is lying to you? You would end up with a broken heart and lost virginity. Thats be the worst result you could ever expect. Im telling you, the reason you managed to break up with Ji Chuan is because


    Before he could finish, he suddenly realized that Jiang Yuning was on the scene. So, he paused, turned and red at Jiang Yuning, again.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly said to him, Brother, Im definitely in love with Nian Xi with sincerity. Im not just ying around. I really want to marry her. I can swear to you that I will never have intercourse with Nian Xi before we got married. If I vited my swear, Ill


    You what? Nian Xi interrupted him, said, You dont need to swear on something like that. Arent you gonna fertilize the flower? Go.


    Okay Receiving Nian Xis eye single, Jiang Yuning obediently went to the balcony to take care of the daisy.


    After watching him leave, Nian Xi said to Nian Junting with a low voice, Brother, hes really a good one. Ive seen so many guys but none of them is as innocent as he is. Whats happening between us isnt like what you think. On the contrary, its me whos been taking the initiative. You believe that we cant have sex until we got married. But I dont think thats necessary. I think we can do it as long as we like each other. No matter if well get married in the end or not, we wont have regrets. I was too old-school before. From this day on, I will live a free, passionate life. I will do whatever I want.

 Chapter 1251. Brother, Dont Give Him a Hard Time on Your Way Back

    Chapter 1251. Brother, Don''t Give Him a Hard Time on Your Way Back


    Seeing the serious look on his sisters face, Nian Juntings heart flipped.


    What did Jiang Yuning do that made Nian Xi so obsessed with him?


    Are you out of your mind? Youre a girl and myNian Juntingssister. You havent been getting much of an allowance from the familytely, but you still own several properties. Your assets are worth at least hundreds of millions. Why arent you taking the initiative more? You should be the kind of girl boys will walk to the ends of the earth for. Are you behaving this way because youre lonely after being single a whole year? You seem vulnerable to this guys looks and charms. You should be immune to those things. After all, you grew up with me, such a good-looking guy.


    I grew up under your constant torment. Thats exactly why I realized I need a man to take care of me, said Nian Xi coldly. Jiang Yuning can beat you in a card game in a minute, and hes mastered all sorts of high-tech stuff. If you ever dare to bully me again, hell take revenge on you for me.


    You You are brainwashed! Nian Junting was so angry his chest was heaving. He spun around and plopped himself down on the couch.


    Just go home. Nian Xi said.


    Im not leaving. Nian Junting crossed his legs and said, I will not let him stay here.


    Nian Xi wasnt sure how to respond to that.


    On the other hand, she wasnt nning on letting Jiang Yuning spend the night with her either.


    With no other choice, she sneakily texted Luosang.


    A few secondsterBzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt. It was Nian Juntings phone. He quickly picked up.


    Dear, chirped Lusang. Im on my way home. I miss you. Im hungry. Can you please ask Sister Lan to make some noodles for me?


    Sure Nian Junting instantly sat up straight. Seeing the light on the balcony, he hesitated. Im at Nian Xis ce. He thought for a moment and said, Ill call Sister Lan and tell her to prepare the noodles for you. Ill be hometer.


    What are you doing in Nian Xis ce? Shes a girl and youre a guy. Juste home.


    I am performing my duty as her brother. Dont worry. Ill be home soon, said Nian Junting seriously.


    Hearing that made Nian Xis mouth corners twitch.


    She had enough of her brother!


    What in the world had happened to him tonight?


    Thankfully, Jiang Yuning returned from the balcony.


    Xi, I just gave some fertilizer to the daisy. Its gettingte. I should be going.


    It iste indeed. Ill go with you. Nian Junting stood up.


    Brother, dont give him a hard time on your way out, said Nian Xi, knitting her brows.


    Hes full of high-tech. How could I give him a hard time? said Nian Junting ndly. Besides, if he wants to marry you, hell need to face me alone sooner orter. Im not a monster.


    Xi, its okay. Uncle Han is downstairs, Jiang Yuning said in a soft voice.


    Nian Xi nodded and walked the two of them to the elevator.


    As soon as the elevator door closed, Nian Junting looked Jiang Yuning in the eye and said, Nian Xi likes to go against me sometimes. I cant discipline her. But Im warning you, youre not allowed to have sex with her until you two get married. No intercourse. Of course, Im not an unfeeling person. You are allowed to kiss her. But only kissing.


    Oh, okay. Jiang Yuning nodded quickly.


    You have to understand how important the first time can be for a girl. Nian Junting continued with, I dont want her to get hurt again. Of course, if you two end up getting married, Ill be very happy for you. But since you just got together, you need to control yourself. To be honest, Im saying this to you because I dont know you well. As her brother, Im worried about her.


    I understand. Jiang Yunings cheeks were burning.

 Chapter 1252. His Name Is Nian Yixu，Dont You Give Him Those Weird Names

    Chapter 1252. His Name Is Nian Yixu��Don''t You Give Him Those Weird Names


    Indeed, he shouldnt be in the same bed with her before marriage. It might damage her reputation.


    Brother, Ill keep what you said in mind, said Jiang Yuning.


    Dont call me brother. Nian Junting furrowed his brows.


    You are Nian Xis brother, so you are my brother too. Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    Okay, then listen to your brother. Nian Junting thought for a moment and then nodded.


    Sure.


    On the ground floor, the two of them walked out of the elevator. Uncle Han was waiting for Jiang Yuning.


    Mr. Jiang, the car is parked outside.


    Remember what I told you, Nian Junting said to Jiang Yuning. Then he left looking very proud of himself.


    Observing this parting gesture, Uncle Han frowned and asked Jian Yuning, What did Mr. Nian just say to you?


    Jiang Yuning nced at him with a serious look and said, Uncle Han, please dont book a room for me in that kind of theater room again without my permission. Im not an indecent man.


    Mr. Jiang. I wasnt trying to make you two do something in that room, Uncle Han exined. I just wanted you two to feelfortable when watching the movie. Dont misunderstand me. Young people like it.


    What What about that movie? Jiang Yuning blushed. He wasnt satisfied with Uncle Hans exnation.


    I was trying to help you and Ms. Nian. Uncle Han smiled and said, Based on the frequency of your dates, and how busy Ms. Nian is, it might take months for you two to start holding hands. You have to push your rtionship forward when you both feel good about each other. Your low speed can easily wear out the passion and ruin the rtionship.


    Jiang Yuning paused with surprise.


    If Uncle Han hadnt mentioned that, he wouldnt have realized it. He thought love grew bit by bit.


    You have kissed each other tonight, havent you? Uncle Han abruptly asked a question.


    Jiang Yuning blushed scarlet. He bit his lip but didnt say a word.


    Uncle Han smiled, Ms. Nian didnt turn you down, did she?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, his cheeks crimson.


    Tonight, in the kitchen, Nian Xi was so seductive. She even kissed him aggressively and made his heart pound.


    Thats what Im trying to say, said Uncle Han. Ms. Nian is a brave girl. I think she should be frank and straightforward. About some things, you shouldnt be too restrained. If you always need her to take the initiative, she might get bored over time.


    That point was not lost on Jiang Yuning.


    But earlier tonight, Nian Junting told him he was only allowed to kiss Nian Xi.


    Meanwhile, Nian Junting drove back to the vi.


    Luosang was already home, eating beef noodles in the living room.


    Wheres Big Baby Nian? Nian Junting asked. Is he sleeping?


    Youre a big baby. Luosang put down her chopsticks, and her pretty face became serious. Let me tell you this again. His name is Nian Yixu. Dont youe up with weird names for him.


    I know. That name means Nian Junting likes Xu Luosang. Nian Junting had a big smile on his face as he walked to Luosang, bent over and put his arms around her.


    Shush. Let me finish my noodles. Luosang pushed him away and said, Have you been to Nian Xis ce?


    Yeah. Nian Junting instantly put on a sullen look and said, Those two went to the theater that had a bed in the room. Theyve only been together for a few days, but theyre already lying in the same bed. How ridiculous. I talked to Nian Xi. Shes been brainwashed. She refused to listen to me. I could only warn Jiang Yuning. I told him not to touch my sister before marrying her.


    Why? Luosang asked, blinking.


    They cant have premarital sex, of course. Nian Junting made himself sound very reasonable. To achieve thest step, they have to get married. Otherwise, I will never forgive him.

 Chapter 1253. Luosang Will Suddenly Give Him Trouble

    Chapter 1253. Luosang Will Suddenly Give Him Trouble


    I see. Luosang nodded. Her pretty face looked like a peach blossom. May I ask you a question? Why did you touch me before we got married?


    I proposed to you, Nian Junting responded quickly.


    You took advantage of me before proposing, didnt you? Luosangs face grew colder. Who shamelessly got into my bed over and over again and lied to me that I carried you to my bed? When we shared a bed, didnt you do more than kiss me? Your hands were all over me. Am I not right? You did everything but pration.


    Nian Junting blinked. She was right.


    The more she thought about it, the more ufortable she felt. You forced someone to do the thing you failed to do. Why? Was it because Im not your little sister? Did you think that I could be touched before marriage? Or did you think you could do anything you wanted to me because I had no family back then?


    Nian Junting was at a loss for words. He wasnt expecting Luosang to suddenly give him trouble. She looked pretty mad. Of course not, he said. It was because the guy was me. Im the best man in the world. Since the first day we got together, I already decided to marry you. If all men in the world were like me, I wouldnt have to worry. But nowadays, therere too many selfish guys out there who are just pretending to be nice.


    Luosang was so angry she evenughed. Stop ttering yourself. You are simplyscivious.


    Luo, how can you say that? he said, outraged. You know how nice I am to you since we got together. You cant forget it. I think of you as the most important person in my life. Even our son isnt as important as you are.


    Lousang smiled coldly and said, If we had had a girl, you would have forgotten about me long ago. You just dont like boys.


    Thats not true. Nian Junting wasnt backing down from their argument.


    All men are selfish. Luosang even lost her appetite for the noodles. She angrily stood up and said, Stay out of my room tonight.


    Why? Nian Junting didnt agree, nor did he understand. Are we fighting because of Jiang Yuning?


    Im feeling ufortable. As Ive said before, look in the mirror before criticizing others. I can tell you for sure that Jiang Yuning is much more innocent than you are. At least, he didnt have an ex-girlfriend. What about you? Your ex-girlfriend was your moonlight.


    We were fighting back then. I said that on purpose, to make you mad, Nian Junting said. Youre my only moonlight. Weve married. Are we gonna get into a fight over that? Compared to you, Nian Xi is a thorn in my side.


    Saying all these things now isnt gonna help. What you said earlier tonight made my very ufortable, Luosang said. Then she went upstairs, mmed the door and locked it from the inside.


    Nian Junting cursed Jiang Yuning so hard in his head.


    After arriving home, Jiang Yuning sneezed a few times. He rubbed his nose, wondering who was cursing him.


    After showering, Nian Xi called him. Did my brother warn you not to touch me before we got married when you two left my apartment together?


    How did you know? Jiang Yuning said, surprised.


    I knew it,  Nian Xi snorted coldly.


    Jiang Yuning said to her in a low voice, Xi your brother is right. He cares about you. I already promised him I wouldnt do that. I wont have intercourse with you before we get married. Except for kissing you, I wont do anything

 Chapter 1254. Goodnight. You Are Such A Sweet-talking Baby Tonight

    Chapter 1254. Goodnight. You Are Such A Sweet-talking Baby Tonight


    Nian Xi was floored.


    Only kissing before they got married?


    God, how could she possibly live like that?


    Earlier tonight, she was already thinking about how should she take off his clothes and activate his animal nature.


    Eh You dont need to take my brothers words so seriously. Dont take them to heart. Hes never done that himself. Nian Xi tried to talk him out of it. He slept with sis-inw every night before he proposed to her.


    Really? Jiang Yuning frowned, thought for a moment and said, No. I cant give up because he failed. I made my promise, and I intend to keep it.


    Alright, whatever you want. Since he was so determined, Nian Xi decided not to push the issue. But Im gonna make this clear. I never promised not to touch you before we got married.


    Jiang Yuning stopped short. When he figured out what she meant, his cheeks started burning. Xi, what do you mean?


    What do I mean? Youre so smart. Cant you figure it out? Nian Xi couldnt imagine the boys bashful look. You can stop yourself from touching me, but I will touch you.


    You you Jiang Yuning stuttered. He had never seen such an open-minded girl before.


    Good boy. Night-night. Youre such a sweet-talking baby tonight, Nian Xi tittered. Then she ended the call.


    Jiang Yuning held the phone in a daze. Only after that did he climb into bed, shyly.


    Nian Xi was such a wild girl.


    Howe he liked her so much?


    In Jiangxi Province, in a small town in Jingdezhen.


    The white walls and ck tiles,posing a beautiful scene, looked like a tasteful ink wash painting. The beautiful building was located near a flowing stream and a small bridge.


    Yan Su was wearing a mask. She had spent a long time walking among people on the road that was paved with bluestones. She hadnt been here in years. The town had be more bustling than before. The stores on both sides of the road were selling all kinds of blue and white porcin objects.


    After walking for a long while, Yan Su stopped and knocked on arge wooden door, the light of the sinking sun bathing her shoulders in warmth.


    Coming. Before long, a womans voice was heard. Soon a woman in a gray cotton-padded coat opened the door.


    Who are you? she asked.


    Aunty Wu, its me. Yan Su slowly took off her mask, revealing her fair face. She wasnt wearing any makeup.


    Aunty Wu kept staring at Yan Su as if she couldnt believe her eyes. She was shocked. Su, youre back! You finally came home.


    Are my parents here? Ive been downtown looking for them. They werent there, answered Yan Su softly.


    Youre home. Your parents are going to represent our country at an event, so theyve been spending all their time at the kiln and drawing. Aunty Wu hurriedly let her in. You left home so many years ago, just for a boy. Was he worth it?


    Yan Su blushed with shame.


    Aunty Wu guided her through an arched doorway and said, Ever since you became a star, your mother often listens to your songs at home and watches you on TV and her phone. Her eyes always turn red every time she sees you


    Before Aunty Wu could finish, Yan Sus tears had already gushed from her eyes.


    Aunty Wu, are my parents okay? she asked.


    Yeah, theyre good. Two years ago, they made you a little brother, said Aunty Wu.


    Yan Su was surprised.


    Her cousin never mentioned that to her.


    I Im a sister now?


    You are. As Aunty Wus voice faded, a little boy in a pair of jeans toddled over from the archway, talking to Aunty Wu in a baby voice.


    Aunty Wu, I found a dragonfly! The little boy paused when he saw Yan Su. He tilted his head, looked at Yan Su for quite a while, then abruptly ran up to her, put his arms around her legs and said to her, Sister. You are my sister, arent you?

 Chapter 1255. Does He Think of Our Family as a Pushover?

    Chapter 1255. Does He Think of Our Family as a Pushover?


    Yan Su was shocked.


    A minute ago, she learned she had a little brother. A few seconds ago, she met him.


    She lowered her head to look at the little boy. He took after his mother. She looked more like her father.


    God. She was expecting to meet her son, but now she learned she had such a young brother. Her parents were quite vigorous.


    Sister the little boy called her again. Ive seen you. Mom always looks at you on her phone. She said youre my sister.


    Yes, I am your sister. Yan Su squatted, unsure whether tough or cry. Anyway, her little brother was a real cutie-pie.


    so much cuter than Luosangs little brother.


    Tell me, little man, whats your name?


    Yan Jin, he answered. My name means cautious. Daddy said I have to be cautious, not like my sister. She was lured away by a man.


    Jin, where are you? A middle-aged couple walked over from the courtyard.


    Mom, my sister came home. Yan Jin held Yan Sus hand and ran toward his parents.


    Jiang Peiying and Yan Lv stopped short when they saw Yan Su. After a brief pause, Yan Lv said harshly to his daughter, What are you doing here? You grew up and learned to run away from home. You already left. You shouldnt havee back.


    Mom, Dad, Im sorry. Hearing a familiar scolding from her father, Yan Su couldnt help but let the tears flow. She took a step forward, knelt on the ground and said, I made a mistake. I didnt know what was right.


    Im surprised you are aware of that. Yan Lv was so angry his face reddened. I told you not to be with She Xiang, but you wouldnt listen. You thought I was trying to tear you two apart, so you left us and ran off to be with him. How on earth did our family raise a daughter like you? How could you do that to us, he yelled.


    Yan Jin heard his father raising his voice and gave a start. He clutched Yan Lvs hand tightly and said, Daddy, please dont be mad at my sister. Dont you ask yourself why isnt my sistering home yet?


    Shush up. Go away. Yan Lv felt embarrassed.


    No, Im not going away. Yan Jin shook his little butt.


    Seeing that, Yan Su was flooded by emotions. Her little brother whom she had never met before was trying to help her. Such was the power of blood.


    Dad, I wanted toe home not long after I left. I was always homesick. But I was too young to persuade myself toe home. You didnt like Shi Xiang, so I told myself Ide home with him after he became a star. I wanted to prove it to you that I was right about him


    But, Shi Xiang became a star long ago, didnt he? So why isnt he with you now? Yan Lv asked. You worked so hard in bars to pay for your education, because of him. Isnt it about time he married you?


    Dad, how did you know Yan Su paused with a surprised look on her face. Have you been watching me all this time?


    Yan Lv shot her a sympathetic nce. Jiang Peiying, her mother, said helplessly, You are a girl, out there alone. How could your father not worry about you? Fortunately, you were able to build some fame. Now youve finallye home. Youve done for much for Shi Xiang. Its time for you two to get married, right?


    We broke up, Yan Su dropped her head and said.


    What? Yan Lv was livid. Didnt the paparazzi find you two spending a night together out there alone? B*stard. He wasted so many years of yours and then abandoned you? Does he think that our family is a pushover?

 Chapter 1256. Im Pregnant

    Chapter 1256. I''m Pregnant


    Before, Yan Su hated Shi Xiang the most. However, after that night, she didnt hate him anymore.


    Ive broken up with him for a while. When the reporters saw us, I was only trying to make things clear with him. Nothing happened. Besides, the media nowadays like to speak on hearsay, in order to create news, said Yan Su with a low voice.


    So what? Yan Si gave a cold smile, How he promised to me before? How hes a superstar, so he broke up with you. Why didnt he break up with you when he was still a poor boy? Now hes different, and he treated you like this. Is he with another woman? Alright, Ill find a reporter to expose his real face.


    Dad, dont. Didnt I make a Weibo postst time? We broke up in peace


    I dont believe it. Your Mom and I thought you were trying to keep your rtionship secret, Yan Lv said.


    Dad, Im a singer too. Making a scene is going to be bad for me too, Yan Su smiled bitterly, Besides, I don like him anymore. I chose my own path, so I me myself only. My only regret is that I was too young back then. I thought what my parents said wasnt right. Now, Ive realized that you have experienced more than I did and learned more than I did. Im sorry. I always wanted toe home, but I was worried that you may not forgive me.


    Alright, alright, as long as you understand, Jiang Peiying sighed, held her, Some young people will never understand that their parents were trying to help them until they suffered bitterness. Of course, we were wrong too. You didnt want to inherit the family business, and we shouldnt make you. Now, we have your brother. He will inherit our family business


    You said that you shouldnt make me, but now youre making my brother inherit the family business Yan Su thought.


    With pity, she nced at her brother who was only two. Hopefully, he would grow interests in chinaware.


    Mom and Dad, thank you. But, I cant get up yet, Yan Su felt so unsettled that she didnt even dare to look at her parents in the eyes.


    Whats wrong? Yan Lv lowered his head, looked at his daughter, You didnt do anything else out there, did you?


    Yan Su closed her eyes, said with a low voice, Im pregnant.


    Jiang Peiying shivered slightly, and Yan Lv even forgot to hold her. He pointed at his daughter and said to her tremblingly, Whos the father? Shi Xiang? Hes not gonna take the responsibly, is he?


    No, no, its not him, Yan Su hurriedly exined, After I broke up with Shi Xiang, I was in a very bad mood. I got drunk and identally slept with someone else. I ran away the next morning. He doesnt even know about this.


    How could you do that! You are a girl! Yan Lv shouted. Yan Jin even cried out in frightening.


    Daddy, dont yell at my sister! Yan Jin hurriedly thrown himself to Yan Su, held her and cried.


    Jin, I did something wrong, Yan Su held the little boy. Yan Jin was so young but still, he tried to protect his sister. Seeing the little boy, Yan Su was surer than before that she wanted to keep her baby.


    Jing Peiying sighed, What have we been trying to tell you since you were a little girl? A girl should discipline herself. You are raised in a family of culture. I cant believe we raised a daughter like you. Its my fault. I failed to cultivate you into a decent person.


    Mom, its not your fault. Its my problem. Seeing the bitter look on her mothers face, Yan Su cried out of guilt.


    Go and get an abortion right now, Yan Lv dragged her up from the ground, said, Ill make arrangements in the hospital for you.


    Dad, I dont want to get an abortion. Im already pregnant for four months, Yan Su held her fathers legs, cried, Some of my friends have already be mothers. Their babies are so adorable. I dont have the heart to kill mine. I want to give birth to my baby.

 Chapter 1257. Jiang Yuning Took the Driving License Test

    Chapter 1257. Jiang Yuning Took the Driving License Test


    Is your brain not working? Yan Lv almost had a heart attack. Youre so young. How can you have a kid without knowing who the father is? Do you even know this guy


    He doesnt know about the baby, and I dont want him to. Thest thing I want to worry about is a custody battle, said Yan Su in a low voice. Dad, Im already four months pregnant. I cant get an abortion now.


    You decided toe here now so we couldnt force you into an abortion. You did that on purpose, right? Jiang Peiying was so disappointed. You are beyond bold. You ran away from home with a boy when you were eighteen and came back at twenty-two four months pregnant. Do you us to drop dead of a heart attack right here?


    Yan Su bit her lip, her face pale.


    I knew I shouldnt havee back here. But if I waited a few years and showed up on your doorstep with my son or daughter, you might have found it harder to ept us. After the babys born, Ill focus on my career. I dont care if I ever get married.


    Jiang Peiying sighed, squatted and said, Su, youve been through a lot. You dont know whats right. But youve made up your mind and theres no going back. If you want to keep your baby, keep your baby. Having it here with us is better than going off and having it in secret. That would be hard. And who would look after you?


    Yan Sus face was covered with tears.


    Dear Yan Lv red at her harshly.


    Forget it. Jiang Peiying waved her hand dismissively and said, She will grow up step by step. Shes only twenty-two, still in her rebellious stage. You cant expect her to be as mature as a thirty-year-old.


    Yan Lv stomped off angrily, muttering to himself.


    Get up. Kneeling isnt good for the baby. Jiang Peiying helped Yan Su up from the ground.


    Mom, Im sorry. I always make you and Dad worry. Yan Su held her and cried.


    Dont cry, said Jiang Peiying. Its not your fault. We didnt raise you right. Youre having this baby. So, what about your work?


    Ive already made arrangements with my manager. Ill go back a month after I gave birth, said Yan Su. Im an adult now. I need to support myself.


    Jiang Peiying nodded. At that moment, Yan Jin started tugging at his moms and sisters pant legs saying, Mom, Im gonna be an uncle?


    Jiang Peiying bent over, scooped up the little boy and said, Yes, youre going to be an uncle. Soon you have to help take good care of the baby.


    Yay! Im gonna have a friend, said Yan Jin happily.


    Jiang Peiying smiled wryly and said to Yan Su, Your brother has been very precocious from the day he was born.


    Yan Su nodded. She could tell he was super smart. She was far less clever as a kid.


    I didnt think Id ever be an elder sister


    Blushing, Jiang Peiying said awkwardly, After you left, your father and I were so upset. Our home was empty, so we decided to try to make another baby and to our surprise, we did it.


    Yan Su owed her parents a lot. Ill make it up to them by being a good daughter. They will be so proud of me!


    Xia City.


    May. The peonies were in full bloom. All was well.


    Jiang Yunings hands had nearly recovered.


    Nine in the morning, he was at the Driving Test Center waiting to take his road test.


    What are you doing? I have the day off, Nian Xi called him.


    Im taking my driving test, said Jiang Yuning. Todays the road test.


    When did you pass the written test? Nian Xi was a little confused.


    Two weeks ago.

 Chapter 1258. He Could Finally Try Xis Cooking

    Chapter 1258. He Could Finally Try Xi''s Cooking


    Nian Xi was surprised. She had no idea hed already taken the written test.


    The written examination is easy. Its on theputer, after all. But your hands didnt recover until a couple of days, right? Dont you need to practice driving before taking the test?


    I already practiced, said Jiang Yuning. I spent the whole day practicing the day before yesterday, and I ran a simtion test yesterday. I passed the first test, so I asked the coach to sign me up for the second one.


    Taking the test after a day of practice? Not even an experienced driver could be as confident as he was.


    You cant do this, said Nian Xi solemnly. Driving is no joke. When youre behind the steering wheel, youre not only responsible for your life but the lives of the other people in your car. You cant rush to get your license. You have to drive safely. You have to practice.


    I understand. I do drive safely, said Jiang Yuning. Many people are taking the test this morning. Ill probably finish after lunch. so how about if I stop by when Im done.


    Nian Xi sighed. Did he misunderstand the term driving safely that she said? Be patient, she said. Dont be frustrated if you fail. Im in no rush to let you take me for a ride. I can always take you for a ride.


    No. I cant always make a girl drive me around, said Jiang Yuning seriously. Im ny-nine point ny-nine percent confident Ill pass the examination.


    What about the rest zero point zero one? Nian Xi was curious.


    idents happen, Nian Yuning murmured.


    He meant he would certainly pass the test unless there was an ident.


    Were all scientists so confident?


    After ending the call, Nian Xi spent the whole morning sleeping in. At lunchtime, she got out of bed and boiled some dumplings for herself. Before she finished lunch, she epted a call from Jiang Yuning.


    Xi, I passed the road test.


    Nian Xi nearly choked on a dumpling.


    Did he pass the test after spending one day practicing? Nian Xi was bbergasted. The road test was hard. It was easy for the examinees to feel stressed.


    Xi, whats wrong? Do you have a cold? Jiang Yuning nervously asked.


    No Nian Xi made an effort to swallow the dumpling before saying, Congrattions. I think you might be able to get your license by the middle of the month.


    Hmm, I already asked the coach to sign me up for the third test, said Jiang Yuning cheerfully. Lets go car shopping this afternoon.


    Sounds good Nian Xi envied him. Hey, have you had lunch yet?


    No, said Jiang Yuning weakly. Xi, can Ie to your ce for lunch?


    Sure.


    Jiang Yuning was thrilled. He could finally try Xis cooking.


    An hourter, Nian Xi received another call from Jiang Yuning. Xi, Im lost in your neighborhood, he said pitifully.


    That boy has no sense of direction.


    Nian Xi went downstairs to look for him. Finally, she found him near the swimming pool. He was sitting under a tree, wearing a clean T-shirt.


    I live over there. Remember? Nian Xi pointed to a building and said, You have to remember where my apartment is. What if you decided toe to my ce for the night but couldnt find it?


    For-for the night? Jiang Yuning gave a start. Thats not appropriate, right? Your brother would have a fit.


    Nian Xi loved joking around with him. Im not saying were going to do something inappropriate. Ill sleep in my bedroom while youll be in the guest room. What else do you think well do?


    Nothing, Jiang Yuning awkwardly turned away, then handed her a box. Xi, I bought you some avocados. Theyre so nutritious.

 Chapter 1259. Xi… Dont… Dont Do This…

    Chapter 1259. Xi�� Don''t�� Don''t Do This��


    Thank you.


    It was not an expensive gift, but the goodwill was delivered.


    It was arge box of avocados.


    Nian Xi took the box, opened it, and found the avocados were ck. She touched them and could tell they had gone bad.


    These went bad. Where did you buy them?


    Right in your neighborhood. An olddy was selling them. Are these bad? She told me the ripe ones are all like this.


    Nian Xi peeled an avocado. The pulp was ck. She peeled a few more in a row and they were all the same.


    How much did these cost?


    Fifteen each, said Jiang Yuning unhappily.


    Thats ridiculous. Nian Xi sighed. How can avocados be so expensive?


    I dont know. Jiang Yuning dropped his head and poked the stone stool with his tiptoe.


    Next time, dont spend money on anything without me there. Nian Xi finally started to understand how Luosang felt, and why she always managed Nian Juntings money.


    Some guys were really bad at managing money.


    Upstairs, Jiang Yuning changed his shoes, then walked into Nian Xis apartment. A bowl of dumplings with a clear soup was on the dining table.


    This is


    Lunch. Nian Xi sat down behind the table. Noticing the surprised look in Jiang Yunings face, she said to him, What? Are you unhappy with the lunch that I made?


    No. Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly. Your dumplings are so pretty. They look exactly like the ones sold in the supermarket.


    Because I bought them from the supermarket, said Nian Xi smilingly. I dont know how to make dumplings.


    Jiang Yuning spent a long while staring at the dumpling, then stuttered, I heard that the swine fever is spreading in Africa and that many dead pigs were turned into dumplings Xi, if you want dumplings, you should make them yourself.


    Im toozy to do that. Nian Xi stretched her body. Jiang Yuning was looking at her silently. She raised her brows and continued by saying, Do you think that Im toozy? Yes, I am veryzy. Do you have a problem with that?


    No Jiang Yuning shook his head and then murmured, Ill do the things that you dont want to do. If you dont want to make dumplings, Ill do it for you.


    Sensing the slight grievance in his tone, Nian Xi found him funny; she also felt sweet in her heart.


    Perhaps, he was the only one in the world who could cope with her bossiness. Another man would have started to give her a lecture.


    Are you sure youll make dumplings for me? Nian Xi raised her brows. Youre a vegetarian.


    I will. Jiang Yuning nodded. Ill learn how.


    Youre so nice. Nian Xi was lying on the couch. She was toozy to get up, so she rubbed his thigh with the back of her foot.


    Her movement made Jiang Yuning blush scarlet. He twisted his legs and said to her, Xi dont dont do this


    His muffled voice was quite seductive.


    Nian Xis nose almost bled.


    Do what? She blinked her eyes and looked at him with an innocent face. I didnt do anything?


    Jiang Yunings fair, handsome face had reddened. He froze for a few seconds, then carried his bowl to the other side.


    Nian Xi felt speechless. She had never seen a man who restrained himself so much


    After lunch, Jiang Yuning said to Nian Xi, Xi, the dumplings were delicious, but you should still have rice and vegetables for each meal. If you dont feel like cooking, you can always call me. Ille here and cook for you.


    Do you know how to cook? Nian Xi raised her eyebrows.


    I can learn. At least the dumplings I boiled tasted better than yours, Jiang Yuning said, being honest.


    What do you mean? Youve had my dumplings, and now youreining that theyre not good enough?


    Im not saying that your dumplings tasted bad. Im only trying to say that mine would be better. Jiang Yuning shook his head.

 Chapter 1260. Isnt It Too Little of Fabric...

    Chapter 1260. Isn''t It Too Little of Fabric...


    That made no difference, Nian Xi thought. Never mind. He found the dumplings that I made were not good enough. So be it. Ill have a perfect reason not to cook in the future.


    Lets go and get you a car. I love shopping for cars. Nian Xi quickly got up from the couch. Wait here. Ill get changed.


    In the bedroom, she took out the clothes that she prepared and put them on.


    As she came out, Jiang Yuning who was quietly sitting in the living room, raised his head to look at her; he was stunned.


    Before, Nian Xi had always dressed casually when she went on a date with Jiang Yuning. But today, she wore an off-the-shoulder blouse that emphasized her beautiful neck and delicate corbones. She didnt have fair skin, but her olive skin gave out a look of beauty and wildness. Below the blouse was a white pair of shorts, disying her long and sexy legs, which had no extra fat on them.


    Jiang Yuning turned his face away after taking only one nce at her. His cheeks were burning.


    Xi, are you going on the street like that? I dont think this is appropriate.


    Why? Nian Xi walked up to him, pinned up her beautiful long hair and said, Am I not pretty?


    You are pretty Jiang Yuning fixed his eyes on the tempting skin on her neck and said, Dont you think there isnt enough fabric?


    I dont think so. All the areas that need to be covered are covered. Nian Xi looked at herself up and down, then said, I dress conservatively every day for work. My pretty clothes are going to mold in my closet.


    After saying that, she picked up her little purse and walked toward the door.


    Jiang Yuning followed closely behind her, pulled the edge of her blouse and said, Xi, put on a coat, and trousers.


    Why are you acting like my Dad? Nian Xi put on a long face, rested her hands on her waist and said, Im young now. If I dont dress sexy now, I might not be able to dress sexy ever. Ill grow old.


    Jiang Yuning opened his mouth.


    Stop. No other words. Nian Xi put a finger against his lips.


    Jiang Yuning had no choice but to drop his eyelids and shut his mouth.


    Nian Xi also brought Jiang-jiang with her.


    Why are we taking the dog? Jiang Yuning didnt like Jiang-jiang. The dog was always clinging to him.


    I finally have a day off. I surely need to take her out. Shes been staying at home alone every day. See, she likes you so much, Nian Xi said with a smile. Youre so handsome. Not only me but my dog is also obsessed with you.


    She smiled so beautifully. Jiang Yuning felt shy hearing herpliment, and also felt a sweetness in his heart. He moved closer to her and held her hand.


    An auto show was going on in the gymnasium. Therefore, Nian Xi brought Jiang Yuning straight there.


    Over ten brands were included in the show. Jiang Yuning wanted the same brand as Nian Xis, so he headed straight toward the Audi disy area. On the way, Nian Xi was attracted by a Mercedes-Benz.


    Whoa! This new model is so gorgeous. Look at the smooth lines and the exquisite interior. This looks so much better than my Audi.


    Ill get this one if you like it. Jiang Yuning was happy to buy any car that his girlfriend liked. It would be her sitting in the car most of the time anyway


    No, I want to buy it myself. Nian Xi turned and called Murong Cheng. Mom, Im at an auto show. Theres a Mercedes-Benz that I really like I want it


    Ill buy you one when you get married, said Murong Cheng carelessly.


    Mom, this is unfair. Nian Xi stomped her foot against the ground and said, You bought my brother a sports car thats worth tens of millions for hisst birthday. All I got is a crappy car thats only worth hundreds of thousands. Ive been driving that car for five years.


    Your director has an Audi. How would he feel if I bought you a car thats worth tens of millions? Have you thought about that?

 Chapter 1261. Do You… Like It?

    Chapter 1261. Do You�� Like It?


    Everybody knows that my mother and brother are rich, Nian Xi said.


    Get rid of that idea. Im going to a meeting. Murong Cheng hung up on her.


    Nian Xi pouted grumpily. Jiang Yuning hooked her little finger with his and said, Ill buy you this car if you like it.


    No. Nian Xi shook her head determinedly. Were not married. How can I let you buy me something so expensive?


    Lets get married then, Jiang Yuning quickly responded.


    Nian Xi nced at him with a smile and said, Do I look like someone wholl get married for a car? Never mind. Lets go look for a car for you.


    Soon, Nian Xi was tempted by a Maserati car. She called her grandma with a soft and sweet voice saying, Grandma, I have my eyes on a car. Didnt you say that I can ask you for anything I want?


    You want me to buy you a car? No problem. Ill buy you a car when you get married, said Yu Wen smilingly.


    Why do you all want me to get married? Nian Xiined.


    When you get married, Ill not only buy you a car, but also a beach house.


    Thank you, but when I get married, you wont be the only one to buy me a beach house. I wont be amazed by a gift like that because Ill have too many. Nian Xi ended the call unhappily.


    She noticed Jiang Yuning looking at her with a grievance.


    Xi, are we here to buy you a car or me? he said.


    Eh well were here to buy you a car, but in the meantime, I might also find a car that I like for myself. Nian Xi rubbed her nose.


    But I havent even seen the car that I want to buy, Jiang Yuning saidining in a low voice.


    All right, Im sorry. My bad. Nian Xi hurriedly held his hand and said, Its just that l like cars so much.


    Whats so interesting about cars? Jiang Yuning didnt understand. Xi, I think any drivable car is good. All cars look the same to me. They all have four wheels.


    You sound like my father. Nian Xiughed. Its all right. When we get married, youll be driving a cheap car, while I drive one thats worth millions. How about that?


    Sure, Jiang Yuning responded to her without thinking.


    Nian Xi nced at him. She was satisfied with his answer.


    After getting married, she would be living an extravagant life, while he would be diligent and thrifty. They could make a perfect couple. They wereplementary.


    In Audis disy area, Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi grew fond of a coup. While talking to the male shopping guide, Jiang Yuning abruptly picked up Nian Xis hand and walked straight away, seemingly displeased.


    Whats wrong? Isnt that car okay? Nian Xi was confused. It was the first time she saw him so unhappy.


    Were not getting an Audi. Jiang Yuning pulled her closer to him with a frown and said, I dont like that shopping guide. He looked at your legs the whole time.


    Nian Xi stopped short. She didnt notice that.


    The bulged cheeks of the angry Jiang Yuning made him look ridiculously adorable. She was surprised to know that he was quite possessive.


    Yeah? I didnt know he was such a nasty man. Nian Xi pretended to be enlightened.


    Em. Jiang Yuning nodded heavily and said, Xi, you have beautiful legs. But you shouldnt wear shorts again. You can wear knee-length pants. As for shorts only I can see you in shorts.


    After finishing what he had to say, he blushed scarlet. However, the look in his eyes was rather determined.


    Nian Xi looked at him straight in the eyes and said, Im wearing it for you today. Im wearing it because we are out on a date. I want you to know how pretty my legs are.


    Her eyes were as seductive as peach blossoms. Looking into those eyes, Jiang Yunings heart thumped and his mouth went dry.


    I I get it now.


    Nian Xi put her mouth near his ear, whispering, and breathing saying, Then do you like it?

 Chapter 1262. Its Up to My Girlfriend

    Chapter 1262. It''s Up to My Girlfriend


    Her breath brushed across his heart like a feather.


    Jiang Yuning felt as if his entire body had gone numb.


    I li-like it.


    Good. I love to wear what you want me to wear in front of you, Nian Xi said to him, thennded a gentle kiss on his ear. Only after that did she walk forward with a smile.


    Jiang Yuning rubbed his ear. Her kiss seemed to have sent a strong electric current through his body. He even sensed a faint diforting from his lower abdomen.


    After standing alone in a daze for quite a while, he finally caught up with Nian Xi. His eyes swept across Nian Xis thighs.


    She was wearing the shorts exclusively for him and she would doll herself up because she liked him.


    Jiang Yuning felt as if he was soaking in a jar of honey.


    They checked all the brands, and atst, Nian Xi took Jiang Yuning to the Mercedes-Benz car, the one she liked at first sight.


    Jiang Yuning was happy to buy any car she liked.


    The salesman asked Jiang Yuning, Mister, which version would you like? The version with a higher engine horsepower is rtively high-priced.


    Its up to my girlfriend, said Jiang Yuning.


    Mister, what color would you like? What about the interior? We can ce the order for you in advance, said the salesman.


    Whatever my girlfriend likes, said Jiang Yuning.


    What do you think about the price of our products the salesman added.


    The price doesnt matter, as long as my girlfriend likes it, Jiang Yuning said, interrupting him.


    Nian Xi and the salesman were speechless.


    The salesman had been selling cars for years, but it was the first time he met a customer like Jiang Yuning. His girlfriend was such a lucky girl.


    Nian Xi smiled and said, I dont care about the price either, but I want it to be cheap.


    The salesman didnt know what to say.


    Are you two really here to buy a car? He thought.


    Atst, after Nian Xi put her bargaining skills to use, Jiang Yuning ordered the car a the price of six-hundred-thousand.


    Coming out of the exhibition hall, Nian Xi had her mind cooled down by a breeze. She found herself a little like the legendary sly fox. On one date, she made the honest boy spend a fortune on her. Unlike her own family, the Jiang Family wasnt into business. Every penny they earned, they earned with hard work.


    Yuning, dont you need to talk to your parents about the car that you just bought? Nian Xi was a little worried. Will your parents think that Im too careless with money?


    Why should I tell them? Jiang Yuning wasnt happy to hear that. I wanted to put the car under your name, but you insisted on putting it under mine.


    It has to be under your name, said Nian Xi seriously. If you registered the car under my name, your parents might think that Im only with you for your money. I dont really know about your financial situation. I think you should make ns about how to spend your money based on your finances. You cant spend all your money before we get married. Getting married will cost you a fortune because youll need to pay for the wedding, the diamond ring, the honeymoon, and some other things. All that can be rather expensive.


    Jiang tuning stopped short and said, Xi, youre so knowledgeable.


    Nian Xi suddenly felt a little guilty. She knew about all that because she once went through the process together with Feng Ji Chuan. Jiang Yuning would certainly be unhappy about that if he knew.


    Yeah, I was born smart. I know how to live a good life, I know how to run a family, I wont spend money wastefully, Im kind and Im mild. I dont have any of the problems that other rich kids have.


    I know. Jiang tuning nodded. Xi, youre a wonderful girl. You are the most perfect girl that Ive ever met.


    Thank you. Thepliment made Nian Xi blush.


    He was such a great guy. In his eyes, she was great.

 Chapter 1263. Leng Shuangwei Walked to Her With a Smile

    Chapter 1263. Leng Shuangwei Walked to Her With a Smile


    Xi, I want to go to the bathroom, Jiang Yuning said to Nian Xi.


    Go, Ill wait here.


    After Jiang Yuning left, Nian Xi paced from side to side, then looked at more cars at the auto show. She couldnt afford any of the cars now, but when she got married, she could ask people for the cars she liked as gifts.


    She had a boyfriend now. How far away could marriage be?


    At the show, she saw some familiar faces. Leng Shuangwei and Leng Zhe were also shopping for a car. Leng Zhe wasnt a fan of the Nian Family people, so he greeted Nian Xi with a quick nod, then turned to look at the car that he was interested in.


    Xi, happy to see you here. Leng Shuangwei walked to her with a smile. Are you getting a new car?


    No. Nian Xi shook her head with a bitter smile. Im just a police officer. How can I afford a new car? My mom said shell only buy me a new car when I get married.


    Hearing her talking about getting married, Leng Shuangwei weirdly paused for a second, then said, Im really sorry that you and Ji Chuan didnt get married. At first, I didnt know why you guys suddenly broke up. Later on, Ji Chuan got drunk and told me the reason. Xi, Im really sorry. Im the reason why things between you two ended up like this. Nothing was going on between Ji Chuan and me. We are good friends, and we both served in the army, so we had a lot to talk about. That night, I was so upset because of your brother. I had no other friends in Xia City, thats why I asked Ji Chuan to keep mepany. I think he lied to you because he felt sorry for me.


    That was not the only problem between me and him. That wasnt even the main reason why we broke up. Nian Xi smiled. Let bygones be bygones.


    You and Ji Chuan have been through so much together. You had even booked a wedding venue and picked your wedding dress. We were all waiting to attend your wedding. Leng Shuangwei knitted her brows slightly and said, I was too selfish. I shouldnt have asked to be your bridesmaid. Hows your brother now? I heard that hes a father. Im so jealous of him.


    Her mouth corners curved into a bitter smile.


    Nian Xi knew that Leng Shuangwei would never have a child, so she felt sorry for her. Hes as mean as ever. I want to punch him in the face all the time. Shuangwei, I heard that you got promoted again. Congrattions.


    All I have is my career now. Leng Shuangwei smiled, then she looked behind Nian Xi and asked, Xi, do you know this man here? Hes been looking at you the whole time.


    Nian Xi stopped short, then turned back and saw Jiang Yuning standing behind her.


    Shuangwei, let me introduce him to you. This is Jiang Yuning, my boyfriend. She hurriedly held Jiang Yunings hand.


    Leng Shuanwei paused briefly with surprise. A trace of disappointment was seen in her eyes. So you already have a boyfriend. Does Ji Chuan


    He knows about it. Nian Xi interrupted her and said, Shuangwei, I think Uncle Leng is waiting for you. Well talk some other time.


    Okay. See you. Leng Shuangwei nodded at Jiang Yuning, then turned and went back to Leng Zhe.


    We should leave too. Nian Xi held Jiang Yunings hand, turned and left.


    Jiang Yuning pulled his hand out of hers as they walked out of the gymnasium. The light of the setting sun poured on the tips of his brows, making him look sad. You know so much about getting married because youve done all those things together with Feng Yu Chuan. You booked the venue and picked the wedding dress. You only needed a ceremony to be a married couple.


    Nian Xi wasnt expecting him to find out about it so soon.


    How much did you hear just now?


    Im not telling you. Jiang Yuning gave her a nce with a grievance. He would never tell her what he knew.


    There are some things that I didnt tell you. I didnt mention them to you because I feel they arent important to me anymore, Nian Xi said. Feng Ji Chuan and I broke up right before the wedding. Many of our rtives received the invitation to our wedding. Canceling the wedding so suddenly was embarrassing. My family considered it highly shameful.

 Chapter 1264. I Like You. I Really Do

    Chapter 1264. I Like You. I Really Do


    Jiang Yuning nodded and asked her, Why did you suddenly cancel the wedding?


    It wasplicated. Nian Xi sighed. The trigger was that I was once on night shift without dinner. I wanted him to bring me some food, but he didnt. Instead, he lied to me. He told me that he was with his army friends, but I saw himing out of a bar holding Shuangwei in his arms when I was on patrol


    He cheated on you. Jiang Yuning nodded again. He believed that he had it figured out.


    Feng Ji Chuan turned out to be a dishonest guy. He couldnt believe he actually saw a guy like that as his number one rival in love. Feng Ji Chuan didnt deserve it at all.


    Nian Xi was such a wonderful girl, but Feng Ji Chuan was too stupid to cherish her.


    He didnt cheat on me. Nian Xi exined awkwardly. They were just a little too close. I couldnt stand the fact that some other woman was more important to him than I was. I wish the person I love to love me back, and I want him to love me solely.


    I will, said Jiang Yuning determinedly and seriously.


    If you cant do that Ill break up with you too. Nian Xi shrugged. Are you still unhappy?


    A little. But I also feel lucky. Jiang Yuning gave an innocent smile. You almost became someone elses wife.


    Well, thats true Before Nian Xi could finish, Jiang Yuning suddenly reached out and held her.


    Xi, I like you. I really do.


    Nian Xi wasnt prepared for that. She gave a start, feeling how much he cared for her.


    Lets go. Im going to the market to buy pork. Im going to make dumplings for you. Jiang Yuning let go of her and grinned. Ill provide you with as much food as you want. I wont be like Feng Ji Chuan.


    Feeling his passion, Nian Xi didnt even have the heart to tell him that she didnt like dumplings that much. She had dumplings for lunch because she was toozy to make anything else.


    She had no n to ruin his passion though.


    Next, the two of them drove to the supermarket.


    Nian Xi had no interest in grocery shopping. She picked some fruit, then went to the shelf of instant noodles.


    Nian Xi picked tworge packs of instant noodles, eachrge pack contained five small packs. Seeing that, Jiang Yuning furrowed his delicate brows.


    He put the instant noodles back on the shelf.


    What are you doing? Nian Xiined.


    Thats junk food. You shouldnt eat so many instant noodles. Jiang Yuning was acting like it was the first day he met her. Do you always eat these?


    Nian Xi felt embarrassed to admit that she was toozy to cook. That might shock him.


    No, she said. Sometimes I work veryte. I only eat instant noodles when Im too tired to cook or order take-out. I know its junk food, so I never use the seasoning provided with the noodles. I only use my own


    Instant noodles are fried. Theyll make you unhealthy if you have too much of them. Jiang Yuning shook his head stubbornly.


    What else can I eat when Im hungry? Nian Xi curved her lips downward. You dont live with me. Id starve to death waiting for you toe to my apartment to cook for me. Will you order take-out for me?


    Jiang Yuning felt troubled. Im working on a project with Professor Han. I can be busy sometimes too. How about this. One of my friends invented a robot chef. Ill ask her to give you one.


    That was amazing. Nian Xi was stunned.


    Having a boyfriend who was a scientist made her feel like being with an almighty god some times.


    Do-does that kind of robot really exist?


    Ever since she got together with Jiang Yuning, she often found herself ignorant. He renewed the way she saw the world over and over again.


    Does the robot do a good job? My floor mopping robot did a very lousy job. Im not using that anymore. I didnt feel good about it.

 Chapter 1265. The Robot Is Not Going to Kiss Me

    Chapter 1265. The Robot Is Not Going to Kiss Me


    It does a good job. Jiang Yuning nodded and said, It makes great food, but it doesnt provide many food choices. Making simple dishes is not a problem for the robot. Itll be better than eating instant noodles. You found your floor mopping robot not good enough because you dont know about machines. Nowadays, advertisements exaggerate the merits of some machines. Also, the floor mopping robot you bought is cheap.


    She was a girl from a rich family, yet a scientist was telling her that the floor mopping robot she had was too cheap. Her mom bought that robot from abroad, and it was actually rather expensive. Nian Xi wondered how her mother would feel if she heard what Jiang Yuning said.


    Since youre so capable, why dont you make me a floor-mopping robot? Nian Xi chuckled. It should be easy for you.


    Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then quickly shook his head.


    Oh. Its okay. After all,


    youre not omnipotent. Nian Xi thought Jiang Yuning didnt know how to make robots.


    Its not like that, Jiang Yuning murmured. Im better at cleaning than a robot.


    If she had a robot to clean her apartment, what would he do? He wouldnt have a chance to disy his skill of cleaning.


    Nian Xiughed. So thats what he was thinking about.


    He was growing more sly.


    Youre right. I have you. What do I need a robot for? Nian Xi hurriedly held his arm and said with a smile, The robot is not going to kiss me, or warm my bed, or do that thing with me.


    The conversation suddenly went dirty.


    Jiang Yunings pretty face reddened.


    What? Am I not right? As he stayed silent, Nian Xi raised her brows with a wicked smile. Should I say have sex?


    Yo-you are right. You are always right. It is like what you said. Jiang Yuning started sweating.


    Seeing the helpless look on the boys face, Nian Xi spared him. Science is developing fast these days. We have intelligent machines everywhere. A lot of people might lose their jobs in the future because machines will take their ce.


    Thats why my friends technology isnt dered yet. Jiang Yuning hurriedly nodded and said, Theres a high cost though. Even if some other people developed the same type of robot, the chance of poprizing the technique would still be very low.


    I didnt know scientists needed to think about that kind of thing. Nian Xi was surprised.


    Sometimes scientists shouldnt keep their eyes on the profits. Science is supposed to help people and provide them with convenience, said Jiang Yuning seriously. Thats what my parents have been telling me since I was little. Some scientists go to extremes for money.


    Nian Xi nodded to agree. Jiang Yuning was an innocent boy, but about science, he had solid beliefs.


    The two of them unwittingly walked to the vegetable zone. Nian Xi wasnt interested in vegetables, so she spent time on her phone and let Jiang Yuning do the shopping alone.


    About ten minutester, she found a lot of fresh vegetables, meat, and shrimp, ced neatly in her cart.


    Youre good at picking food. Im surprised, she said.


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and said, Actually, I dont know how to select food. I picked the most expensive ones. Uncle Han said that the expensive ones are always good.


    Uncle Han is such a spender, Nian Xi thought.


    She picked up a box of pork and found it scarily expensive. Having expensive food like this every day is toovish for us, she said to Jiang Yuning in a serious tone. We can have some normal food next time. I know you have money, but you shouldnt waste it.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning nodded. Abruptly, he gave her a grin and said, Xi, you are such a nice girl. Uncle Han told me that your family is so rich, so everything you have must be the best of its kind. But I feel that you are actually living a poor life.

 Chapter 1266. Xi… We… We Cant Do This Yet…

    Chapter 1266. Xi�� We�� We Can''t Do This Yet��


    Nian Xi did not know how to respond to what he said.


    She thought about it carefully and found that he was right. She was poor indeed.


    She had all sorts of stocks, funds, and properties under her name, but she couldnt spend any of it. Her allowance was cut offpletely because she rejected the blind dates that her mother arranged for her. Currently, she lived on the pathetic sry that she earned by serving as a policewoman, and the asional pity money from her grandparents.


    That was sad.


    Youre right, Nian Xi nodded and said. I came from a rich family, but Im not spoiled. Do you understand? So when we get married, you can feel free to let me keep all your money. Every penny I spend, Ill make it worth it.


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    Nian Xi was already thinking about their married life. That was not going to happen any time soon, but still, he was happy.


    You dont need to save money. All the money I make is for you to spend. I dont need to spend any for myself. All I need is you.


    Thank you. Nian Xi threw him a kiss, making him feel shy.


    Around dinner time, they returned to Nian Xis apartment.


    Nian Xi threw herself onto the couch to watch a Korean TV drama. It was so nice to have a boyfriend. She could be aszy as she liked, and she would still have something to eat.


    She didnt have high hopes for Jiang Yunings cooking though. After all, he only ate vegetables. What kind of cuisine could he possibly make?


    As the female lead in the drama was going to cheat on her boyfriend, Nian Xi heard a moan from the kitchen.


    Whats wrong? Nian Xi hurriedly walked into the kitchen and saw Jiang Yuning quickly hide his hand behind his back.


    Nian Xi then saw blood on the floor. She pulled out his hand from behind his back and found a deep, bleeding cut on his forefinger.


    Im sorry. I was too clumsy. Jiang Yuning found it shameful. It was the first time he cooked for his girlfriend, and he ended up cutting himself.


    You are clumsy indeed. Nian Xi brought him out of the kitchen and tried to stop the bleeding with a tissue. After a failed attempt, she put his finger directly into her mouth.


    Xi Jiang Yunings eyes widened and his face reddened.


    His finger was in her mouth. He felt the itchiness and numbness he felt before; he felt as if his heart was on fire.


    There was a distance between them, but Nian Xi clearly heard him gasping for air. Wickedly, she rounded her tongue on the tip of his finger.


    Jiang Yuning gave a muffled moan. He pushed her away in a flurry, then turned and fled into the bathroom.


    The door mmed shut.


    On the outside, Nian Xiughed so hard that she bent over. She wasnt expecting him to be so sensitive.


    She was still a little worried though. After all, he cut his finger.


    Come out. She hurriedly knocked on the bathroom door and said, Ill put a bandage on your wound.


    No. Ille outter. My finger isnt bleeding any more. Jiang Yunings muffled voice was heard from the bathroom.


    Why are you staying in the bathroom? Nian Xi pretended she didnt know why.


    I Im having a stomachache.


    Stomachache?


    Nian Xi didnt believe it.


    All right. Just finish ande out. Nian Xi tried not tough out loud.


    About ten minutester, Jiang Yuning came out of the bathroom. His cheeks were still pink.


    Nian Xi nced at his trousers and said, You spent quite a while in there. Youre not constipated, are you?


    N-no


    Nian Xi pulled Jiang Yuning onto the couch before he could finish stuttering.


    Sheid herself upon him; he didnt even know how to react.


    Xi, we we cant do this yet.

 Chapter 1267. I Thought You Were Unsophisticated, but I Was Wrong

    Chapter 1267. I Thought You Were Unsophisticated, but I Was Wrong


    At first, Nian Xi paused. Knowing that he had misunderstood what she had said, she scratched his chin with her fingers and said, Why not?


    We-we Were not married yet. Jiang Yuning was sweaty. Just now, he had spent a great effort to calm himself down in the bathroom, but now, that desire was instantly aroused again.


    Were not married. I know that. Im not doing anything wrong. I just want to put a bandage on your wound. After saying that, Nian Xi picked up his wounded finger with a smile.


    Speechless, the dumbfounded Jiang Yuning stared at his own hand.


    What do you think I was going to do? Nian Xi smiled. Did you get the wrong idea? I thought you were unsophisticated, but I was wrong.


    I Im not Jiang Yuning opened his mouth but did not know how to exin. His face turned red. You just


    I just what? Nian Xi raised her eyebrows. Did I kiss you against your will or take advantage of you?


    You scratched my chin. Jiang Yuningined. That was very seductive.


    Nian Xi burst inughter. I do that to Jiang-jiang all the time. Would I seduce a dog?


    She put the bandage on Jiang Yunings hand, then turned and crooked her finger toward Jiang-jiang, who was lying on the floor.


    Jiang-jiang quickly went over, sticking out her tongue.


    Nian Xi scratched Jiang-jiangs chin. The dog felt sofortable that she closed her eyes.


    Watching, Jiang Yuning was a little jealous of the dog, even though Jiang-jiang was a girl.


    He reached out, pulled Nian Xis hand away from Jiang-jiang, then said to her with a deep voice, My hand hurts.


    Thats because youre too clumsy, Nian Xi said. Didnt you always cut my steak well? You told me that you used to dissect dead animals together with your father. How could you cut your own finger? What would your father think about this?


    I cut myself when trying to chop the bones, Jiang Yuning murmured. Fortunately, I wasnt chopping hard.


    Hearing that, Nian Xi was filled with the willies. Thankfully, it was only one gentle chop. Otherwise, his finger might have been chopped offpletely.


    Forget about cooking. You need your fingers for your scientific experiments. I dont want you to disable your hands. Lets order take-out. I suddenly want pizza.


    She picked up her phone and started ordering food once she finished talking.


    Jiang Yuning was disappointed. It was the first time he tried to cook for her, and he failed.


    When the dinner was delivered to the apartment, he was still unhappy.


    Cheer up. It was nothing but cooking. I fail all the time. Try this pizza. Nian Xi put a slice of pizza in his mouth.


    Jiang Yuning took a bite, swallowed it, then said, Please dont give me a negative score. Ill learn how to cook when I got home. I will master cooking for you.


    Just send me the robot chef as soon as you can, Nian Xi said. Thats a more pragmatic way.


    You dont believe me. Jiang Yuning sadly dropped his head to bite the pizza. Ill prove it to you. You cant abandon me.


    I didnt say that Ill abandon you.


    His voice sounded so soft. Nian Xi turned to look at the gloomy boy. At that moment, he looked so much like Jiang-jiang who was eating a chicken leg on the ground.


    She moved close to him and bit on the other half of the slice of pizza in his mouth.


    Jiang Yunings eyes widened, gawking at her.


    Nian Xi gave him a wicked smile, then started eating the half slice. Soon, she ate the pizza that was outside his mouth and atst, her lips touched his.


    Jiang Yuning fixed his eyes on her long and shaking eyshes, feeling as if his heart was going to be sucked into her dark eyes.


    He didnt even know if he should swallow the pizza in his mouth. He froze until her tongue invaded his mouth.

 Chapter 1268. You Promised My Brother

    Chapter 1268. You Promised My Brother


    His breath became uneven. He didnt know where to put his hands.


    He tried to hold her, but as she was lying upon him, his hands identallynded on her thighs.


    He felt her silky skin against his fingers; he couldnt take away his hands.


    What are your hands doing? After kissing him, Nian Xi looked at him with a faint smile.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly retracted his hands, feeling embarrassed.


    Animal. Nian Xi smiled a big smile.


    I didnt mean to Jiang Yuning felt blood rush up to his face. He never thought he would never be called the word animal.


    I dont believe you. You have one choice. You have to make it up to me with your own body, Nian Xi put her hands by his ears and smiled at him. You touched my body, so Ill touch your body too.


    Following her voice, her slender fingers brushed across his Adams apple andnded on a button of his shirt.


    Jiang Yunings entire body tightened. He misunderstood her once, so this time, he didnt dare to say anything. He only watched her undo his buttons one after another.


    Xi, what are you doing? he finally said in a dry voice.


    I want to see your chest. Nian Xi found herself getting better and better at putting the moves on him.


    Before, she would never believe that she would be so cheeky. Every time she saw the innocent-looking boy, she wanted to bully and seduce him.


    She never forgot what she saw that morning in France when the two of them shared a room.


    Since then, she had been wanting to feel his skin with her hands. He didnt have strong chest muscles, but his skin was fair and his body was nicely shaped.


    Nian Xi moved her hands from one area to another. She was full of curiosity, like a child with a new toy.


    In the end, Jiang Yuning couldnt stand the pain in his heart and pressed her down on the couch.


    What are you doing? Looking into his unfocused eyes, Nian Xi started to worry a little. Maybe she had gone too far.


    Xi, I Jiang Yuning was really in pain.


    You promised my brother. Nian Xi blinked, then put her arms around his neck. Lets end this with a kiss, okay?


    Okay Jiang Yuning responded with a grievance. That seemed to be the only way.


    Nian Xi raised her head to kiss him. He pressed her deep into the couch.


    After their passionate kiss, he regretted it so much. The kiss worsened his difort. He had no choice but to go into the bathroom again.


    Aftering out of the bathroom, he didnt sit on the couch with Nian Xi, but picked up the broom and started to clean the apartment.


    Nian Xi kept watching TV. A short whileter, she found Jiang Yuning spraying something onto her floor with a sprinkling can.


    Whats that? I dont think thats mine. Nian Xi walked to him curiously.


    I brought it here. Jiang Yuning smiled. It can make things really clean. With this, you can remove stubborn stains with a gentle wipe.


    You look like a professional cleaner. Nian Xi blinked.


    Oh, said Jiang Yuning shyly. Its all right. The cleaner I make your apartment, the less you can tolerate other guys. Youll think of me once your apartment turns messy.


    Nian Xi silently watched him clean the floor from behind, feeling indescribably sweet and touched.


    Over time, he might be the only person that she could live with.


    Two hourster, Nian Xi barely recognized her own apartment.

 Chapter 1269. Jiang Yuning Hurriedly Pressed His Hands on His Shirt

    Chapter 1269. Jiang Yuning Hurriedly Pressed His Hands on His Shirt


    Was that still her apartment?


    It was as clean as a five-star hotel room. She could even make food on the ground if she wanted.


    Youre amazing. Nian Xi gave Jiang Yuning a sincerepliment. His hand was injured, but still, he made her apartment so clean.


    If he kept cleaning her apartment like that, she would get used to it. If she ended up breaking up with him and being with a guy who wouldnt clean her apartment, she would not be happy.


    Hell spoil me sooner orter, she thought.


    At 10:00 p.m., Nian Xi walked Jiang Yuning down the stairs.


    Uncle Han wille to get you soon. Dont tell him about what we did earlier tonight.


    Cleaning the apartment? Jiang Yuning asked.


    A breeze blew across Nian Xis burning cheeks. When I touched your chest, she said.


    Oh Jiang Yunings cheeks burned as well. I wont tell him. Xi, are you shy?


    Nian Xi coughed slightly, then red at him.


    Jiang Yuning grinned. Xi, you were so brave when you touched me. Why are you feeling shy now?


    Thats none of your business. Nian Xi felt embarrassed. One more word and Ill drag you upstairs and rip off all your clothes.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly pressed his hands on his shirt. The girl was growing bolder and bolder.


    Soon, he regretted it. Why did he press his shirt so tightly? Being taken advantage by her felt nice.


    After saying goodbye to Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning got into the car. Uncle Han was driving.


    Mr. Jiang, why is your hand injured again? Uncle Han asked him.


    I identally cut myself when trying to cut food, Jiang Yuning said frustratedly. Uncle Han, teach me how to cook.


    Do you have time for that? Uncle Han said with surprise. You need to get your drivers license, and you need to do your science projects


    Ill learn at night. Ill learn it soon, Jiang Yuning said determinedly. Oh, Ive already decided to give Xi a robot chef.


    You dont know how to make that. Youre not going to ask Miss. He for help, are you? said Uncle Han.


    Em. Jiang Yuning nodded. She showed me the finished productst time. Its sessful. She said that she wants one of my watches, so I can trade with her.


    Uncle Han blinked and said, Sir, you let me worry about that. Just focus on your project.


    All right. Jiang Yuning agreed without thinking. He trusted Uncle Han with his ability.


    Three dayster, Jiang Yuning received Shi Qingtongs call in hisb.


    Mom, why are you calling me? Jiang Yuning was disappointed. Ever since he bought a phone, everybody knew his number. He didnt like answering phone calls from anyone who was not Nian Xi.


    Like you wish it wasnt me who called you, Shi Qingtong said ndly. Were you expecting a call from your girlfriend?


    Jiang Yuning stayed silent.


    Never mind. Its already impressive that you got a phone. Shi Qingtong sighed. I heard from Xinxin that you want her to make you a robot chef.


    Yeah. Its for my girlfriend. Jiang Yuning added saying, Dont misunderstand this. Shes not a gold digger. On the contrary, her family is very rich. Shes diligent and thrifty though. She always wants to save money for me. I wanted to buy her a car as a gift, but she refused. Shes a really nice girl.


    After a short silence, Shi Qingtong said, Youve never spoken to me this much, other than about astronomy. You dont find talking exhausting anymore?


    I think so. Jiang Yuning stopped short, then smiled and responded with, Especially when Im with Xi. With her, I learned that talking can be such a sweet thing to do.

 Chapter 1270. Her Sons Low EQ Was Inherited. She Had No Way to Change That

    Chapter 1270. Her Son''s Low EQ Was Inherited. She Had No Way to Change That


    Shi Qingtong was surprised to know that the son whom she didnt spend too much time and energy on, suddenly cared about a girl so much.


    She couldnt tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing for her autistic boy.


    The good thing was that he was finally willing to open himself up, and the bad thing was that he might rely on the girl too much and eventually get hurt.


    Buying a car is nothing. I wanted you to have a car. I know you want your girlfriend to be happy, but remember, dont be too free-handed. After all, were not business people. You should keep a low profile. Shi Qingtong reminded him saying, Also, do not tell her about the project that youre working on. Its for her own good. The less she knows about the project, the safer she will be.


    I know, Jiang Yuning responded.


    Also, say thank you to Xinxin. Shi Qingtong sighed. Shes working day and night to make that robot chef for you.


    Em, Xinxin is very nice, said Jiang Yuning. Ill make her a watch as soon as I can.


    You never mind. Shi Qingtong felt helpless. Her sons low EQ was inherited. She had no way to change it.


    After ending the call, Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, then texted He XinThank you.


    He Xin replied, You dont need to thank me. We are good friends who grew up in the sameb. When will youe back to Beijing?


    Jiang YuningI dont have the time right now.


    He XinI understand. I heard that youre researching the new thermal-maizing material in Xia City University with Professor Han.


    Jiang YuningThats not the only reason. I also need to keep my girlfriendpany.


    After he sent that message, his phone stayed quiet for a while. He dropped the phone and continued his experiment until his phone started ringing.


    You have a girlfriend? He Xins deep voice was heard.


    Hmm. Jiang Yuning nodded.


    He Xin stayed silent for quite a while. Gradually, her voice grew bitter. Why didnt you ever mention it to me?


    Why would I talk to you about that? Jiang Yuning didnt understand. And you know I dont like talking.


    He Xin gave a bitter smile. Yeah, they only talked about science. He had no interest in starting a rtionship at all, so she could only talk to him about science. She thought nothing but science could ever exist in his world, but to her surprise, he changed after he went to Xia City.


    What kind of a girl she is?


    A policewoman, said Jiang Yuning sweetly.


    Is the robot chef for her? He Xin figured it out.


    Yes.


    He Xin didnt say a word for a long while.


    As she stayed silent, Jiang Yuning thought she was done talking, so he said, I gotta go if theres nothing else you want to say. I still need to experiment.


    All right.


    He Xin dropped her phone, buried her head in her arms and burst in tears.


    She liked him since they were little. Howe he suddenly fell for another girl? Why didnt anyone tell her about it?


    Jiang Yuning liked the girl, but his family might not ept her.


    She hurriedly called Shi Qingtong. Aunty Shi, I heard that Yuning has a girlfriend now. Is that true?


    Shi Qingtong felt guilty. Earlier, she was worried that her autistic son may never marry a girl on his own, so she talked to He Xins family about arranging him and He Xin to marry each other. She knew that He Xin liked her son and she believed that He Xin would tolerate her son, but


    Xinxin, I didnt know about it until his father told me recently.


    He Xin was stunned for a short while, then said, Aunty, havent you talked to my father about letting Yuning and I marry each other?


    I talked to Yuning about it. Shi Qingtong smiled bitterly. But you know how autistic he was before. He barely listened to me when I was talking to him. When I said ten words to him, it would be amazing if he could hear two.

 Chapter 1271. Shes Been Perky Every Day

    Chapter 1271. She''s Been Perky Every Day


    Does Yuning talk to that girl? Hearing Shi Qingtongs words, He Xins heart sank.


    Shi Qingtong sighed. Uncle Han said that Yuning is willing to talk now. Its all because of the girl. Ive talked to Yuning. I can tell that he cares a lot about her and that he relies on her. You know, he had a bad experience when he was little, so I dont have the heart to say anything bad to him, or give him a hard time


    I get it. He Xin realized that Shi Qingtong intended to let her son do whatever he liked, instead of helping her.


    Xinxin, Im sorry. Shi Qingtong gave a bitter smile. You probably wouldnt be happy if you and Yuning got together. Hes too introverted.


    Aunty, I know. I gotta go. He Xin hurriedly ended the call.


    Holding the phone, Shi Qingtong didnt feel good. After all, she knew He Xin since she was a little girl. She turned and said to her husband, I feel sorry for Xinxin.


    Jiang Fei nodded and said, Lets make a trip to Xia City to meet Yunings girlfriend and to get my daisy back.


    Shi Qingtong red at him and said, I think getting your daisy back is your main purpose.


    You know how much effort I spent on that daisy, said Jiang Fei sulkily. Now its taken from me and I cant eat or sleep. All I can do now is to numb myself by studying the turtle shell. Ill ept her as my daughter-inw if she gives my daisy back.


    Shi Qingtong didnt even want to talk to him. She walked away, but by the door, she reminded him, Keep a close eye on your lily of the valley. Donte to me and cry if that one is gone too.


    The lily of the valley is nted in the earth. He wont dig it out, will he? Jiang Fei said.


    I dont know.


    Jiang Fei hurriedly went to the backyard to transnt his nts.


    Xia City.


    Nian Xi got a call, then happily sprung up from her seat. Fang Qi nced at her and asked her, What are you doing?


    Im getting off work early today. Youll be handling the rest of the work. Nian Xi patted him on the shoulder and said smilingly.


    Do you have a date? Fang Qi raised his eyebrows.


    No. Yuning got me a robot chef. Im going home to wee it. Nian Xi was so excited.


    Fang Qi opened his mouth wide. Damn! Gifts from that scientist are special indeed! Xi, ask Professor Jiang if he has some scientist friends who are still single. Introduce them to me. Im single.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said, I dont think he has any friends. Besides, all the people he works with are men.


    Its okay, I cane out of the closet, Fang Qi said hurriedly.


    Nian Xi felt speechless. Was the robot chef so attractive?


    Eh Ill ask him someday, Nian Xi said, then left.


    Not long after she left, Feng Ji Chuan came in with a stack of files. Fang Qi looked at him and sighed. Ji Chuan, she has a boyfriend already? Why are you still helping her with her case every day like this? Stop wasting your energy. You still have so many cases of your own. Look at those dark circles under your eyes.


    Feng Ji Chuan smiled bitterly and said, I never did enough for her and I dont know what else I can do for her. She might be unhappy if I tried too hard. I have no idea how to pursue a girl.


    I honestly dont think you have a chance. Your opponent is a scientist, said Fang Qi. Professor Jiang got her a robot chef. How many people can do that? Also, Nian Xi has shown some of those secret weapons she has during the fieldwork. Those are seriously amazing. Shes been perky every day.

 Chapter 1272. Liar

    Chapter 1272. Liar


    Feng Ji Chuan paused for a few seconds. The bitterness on his face was beyond description.


    Before, he thought Jiang Yuning was dull, but it turned out that he was the dull one.


    I wish her happiness, he murmured. After all, a forced rtionship will not end well. He understands. He had lost her, and that could not be changed.


    By the time Nian Xi got home, Jiang Yuning was already standing at her door with the white robot.


    Xi The two of them hadnt seen each other for a few days. Seeing her running happily, Jiang Yuning hurriedly spread his arms.


    Its so cute! Nian Xi brushed across him and hugged the robot.


    Jiang Yunings arms froze in the air for a short while. He silently dropped his arms, then looked at Nian Xi. Seeing how much she liked the robot, he felt a little jealous, but also a little sweet.


    From now on, Nian Xi had not only Jiang-jiang but also a robot to enjoy.


    This robot is so exquisite, and its so cute. Nian Xi fondled the robot admiringly. Ive never seen such a beautiful robot. Can it really make food?


    Lets try it out. Jiang Yuning smiled, then pressed a button on the robots chest. The robot walked toward Nian Xi.


    Jiang-jiang came over, barked, then wanted to jump on the robot, butcked the courage to do it.


    Your name will be Big Jiang-jiang, Nian Xi said to the robot with a grin. Yuning, what do you think?


    What Jiang-jiang am I then? Jiang Yuning said with a muffled voice.


    Youre my Ning-ning. Nian Xi held his face and gave him a big kiss. Youre amazing.


    Jiang Yuning smiled. He carefully taught Nian Xi how to use the robot. All she needed to do was to download an app and then control the robot on her phone.


    Nian Xi browsed the introduction, then gasped in surprise. He can even pour me tea, and make desserts? This says he can cook all kinds of food, and that I only need to prepare the materials. Is it really so capable?


    I didnt know it was so functional. Jiang Yuning paused briefly, then said, I guess my friend has improved it. Impressive.


    I want to meet this friend of yours. Nian Xi recalled what Fang Qi asked her to do. Is this friend of yours a boy or a girl?


    A girl, Jiang Yuning said.


    That answer was unexpected to Nian Xi, as she thought his friend was a boy. She didnt know Jiang Yuning had any female friends. For some reason, she instantly felt a little ufortable. Didnt you say that Im your only female friend? It turns out you have other female friends. Liar.


    Jiang Yuning was confused. He had no idea why she was suddenly unhappy. I didnt lie to you. Shes my science friend. I call her my friend because we often talk about science projects. We dont talk about anything else. Youre my only female friend whom I dont talk about science with. Now youre my girlfriend. And I guess I never wanted to be friends with you.


    I know. You wanted to be my boyfriend, right? Nian Xi poked his chest and said, You little wicked boy.


    Im not wicked. Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    Tell me about this girl scientist. Nian Xi smiled. How old is she? Is she married? Does she have a boyfriend? What does she look like? Is she nice? Hows her body shape?


    Why do you want to know so much about her? Jiang Yuning didnt understand.


    Fang Qi is single, said Nian Xi. He wants me to introduce him to a girl.

 Chapter 1273. Xi, Are You Jealous?

    Chapter 1273. Xi, Are You Jealous?


    Jiang Yuning blinked. A few secondster, he shook his head.


    Why?


    Nian Xi was unhappy. It was her first time being rejected by him.


    I dont like being a matchmaker. Jiang Yuning shook his head. I dont want to stick my nose in other peoples business.


    But Fang Qi is really nice. Think about it. He put in a good word for you in front of me, Nian Xi said. If shes single too, I think we can introduce them to each other. They can always be friends. The social circle of scientists can be rather narrow. You dont meet a lot of people, so maybe she needs us to introduce her to new friends.


    Jiang Yuning furrowed his delicate brows. Atst, he dropped his head and said, Let me ask her.


    He spent a short while on his phone. A couple of minutester, he said, Xinxin said no.


    Xinxin? Nian Xi raised her brows.


    Hm. Jiang Yuning didnt detect the weird look in Nian Xis eyes.


    Do you guys know each other well? You called her in such an intimate way. Nian Xi curved her lips downward. Are you really just work pals?


    Ive called her that since we were little. Jiang Yunings innocent eyes were filled with confusion. Is something wrong with that?


    So you have a childhood sweetheart too? The longer the conversationsted, the more information Nian Xi got out of him. She wasnt happy to know about it.


    Youve never mentioned that to me, she said.


    Thats not important. Shes not my ex-girlfriend. Jiang Yuning started to set up the robot.


    Nian Xi med herself. She should have guessed it. Whoever made such a cute and exquisite robot must be a girl. Jiang Yunings friend was so capable. What on earth did that girl have in her head? Nian Xi believed the girl must be much, much smarter than herself.


    Does she like you?


    Why would she like me? Jiang Yuning was more and more confused. Xi, are you jealous?


    Of course, she wouldnt admit it.


    Eh-hem. How is that possible? she said with a serious face. I have male friends, like Fang Qi and Xiao Si. Ive known them for many years, so I understand.


    Hm. Jiang Yuning nodded. Xi, what do you want for dinner?


    How about eggnt stew and garlic pork ribs? Thats all we got. Nian Xi nced at the robots introduction on her phone.


    Okay. Jiang Yuning nodded.


    At dinner time, the robot was cooking in the kitchen, while Nian Xi was watching. The robot really cooked like a chef, and the food didnt look bad. Atst, the robot cleaned the top of the kitchen range.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but take a picture of the food and show it off in her WeChat momentNingning gave me a robot chef as a gift. The food is amazing.


    The robot chef was so special and impressive that she got hundreds of likes in a short time.


    Luosang left hermentI am so, so jealous of you.


    Xiao SiDamn! Seriously? Can I have one?


    Murong ChengAmazing.


    Even Mommy is jealous of you.


    Grandma NianMy future grandson-inw is wonderful. Grandma wants to try the food.


    Yan SuIts so nice to be the girlfriend of a scientist.


    Nian QingyunI dont think the food tastes good.


    Nian Junting replied to LuosangDo you have a problem with Sister Lans food? Sister Lan wants you toe home. She needs to talk to you.


    Mo LiuxiMy food is way better than this.


    Many people left theirments under the post. Feeling the attention and jealousy that came to her wave by wave, Nian Xi was really happy. She invited everybody toe to her ce for a meal.

 Chapter 1274. Im His Future Brother-In-Law. Shouldnt He Be Listening to Me?

    Chapter 1274. I''m His Future Brother-In-Law. Shouldn''t He Be Listening to Me?


    As Nian Xi was looking at her phone, Jiang Yuning opened WeChat and saw her post. He clicked like silently, but in his heart, he felt so sweet.


    Nian Xi made a lot of posts on WeChat. It was the first time Jiang Yuning showed up in a post of hers. Did she publish her rtionship with him already?


    Xi, the dinner is ready, he said, reminding her.


    Oh. Nian Xi saw the like that Jiang Yuning left under her post. She smilingly put her arms about him and said, Arent you gonna leave me ament?


    I dont know what to say. Jiang Yuning responded to her shyly and said, But Im so happy that you like it.


    Nian Xi smiled and snorted. She would be more delighted if the robot was not made by Jiang Yunings childhood sweetheart. However, Nian Xi figured that the girl might only see Jiang Yuning as a friend, like how he saw her, because the two of them had known each other for so many years, but still werent together. After all, most girls wouldnt be able to ept such an autistic boy.


    Luosang had been watching Nian Xi show off her robot chef on WeChat every day.


    On May 13, Nian Xis postI was exhausted when I got home. Big Jiang-jiang has fed Jiang-jiang for me. I threw myself onto the touch, and Big Jiang-jiang brought me a cup of ck tea. I am so happy.


    Nian Junting left hismentBe careful. ck tea might keep you awake until veryte at night.


    Nian Xi replied to him withPiss off.


    On May 15Big Jiang-jiang prepared food when I got home. I came home a bit toote, so the food was cold. Big Jiang-jiang heated it for me. Im the happiest person in the world.


    Nian JuntingI think you might be even happier if you married the robot.


    Nian XiYou again?


    Luosang got a call from Nian Junting when she finished work. Im downstairs.


    Why did youe here today? Luosang was surprised.


    Nian Xi asked me to take you to her ce to try the robots food. Nian Junting snorted. Shes just showing off.


    Nian Junting and his little sister always acted like they were enemies. Luosang sighed. If you dont want to go, just say no to her.


    I just dont believe a robot can be so capable. If its really so good, Ill ask Jiang Yuning to give me one, so you wont be jealous of her every day, Nian Junting mumbled.


    Whos jealous of her every day? Me or you? Luosang thought.


    Nian Junting hardly acted like that. Luosang looked at him, wanting tough. Are you sure hell agree to give you one? she said. I dont think you two are getting along well.


    Im his future brother-inw. Shouldnt he be listening to me? Nian Junting said.


    Luosang snorted scornfully in her head. I doubt that she thought. But of course, she wouldnt say that out loud to her husband.


    They arrived at Nian Xis ce to find that Murong Cheng was there too. The robot was pouring her a cup of tea. She liked it so much that she could barely stop smiling.


    Murong Cheng furrowed her brows when she turned to see Nian Junting and Luosang. Why are you two alone? Wheres Apple?


    We didnt bring him, said Nian Junting. I got off work, picked up Luosang, and came straight here. We didnt go home. Wheres Jiang Yuning? Why isnt he here?


    Hes been working on a project with Xia City University. Now is the crucial moment for the project. Nian Xi sat on the couch and exinedzily saying, I invited you guys here to meet my Big Jiang-jiang, so you dont have to always envy me on WeChat.


    She pointed at the desserts and juice on the table and continued with, Try these. Big Jiang-jiang made these.


    These are not worse than what Sister Lan can do, Luosang eximed.

 Chapter 1275. Darling, Are You Okay?

    Chapter 1275. Darling, Are You Okay?


    Yeah, Nian Xi said excitedly. My Big Jiang-jiang is very capable, but Yuning is more capable than the robot. I told you that you shouldnt have arranged all those blind dates for me before. The best will alwayse.


    Em, you are just lucky, Murong responded to her.


    Luosang sighed. Recently, she found that Nian Xi and Nian Junting had one thing inmon. They both liked to show off.


    At 6:00 p.m., Big Jiang-jiang was preparing dinner in the kitchen as Luosang watched. As a girl, she was jealous of Nian Xi.


    Nian Xis boyfriend was not only handsome, but he was also able to develop all sorts of high-tech products. He was like Doraemon, who could give her anything she wanted.


    Well, unlike him, my husband is Luosang nced at Nian Junting who was sitting on the couch. She sighed.


    As she sat back on the couch, Nian Junting abruptly pulled her close and asked her coldly, What was that look in your eyes?


    The look of admiration. Luosang lied.


    Good. Nian Junting rubbed her hair, then whispered to her, I know that youre jealous of her for having the robot. But that kind of thing is lifeless. Is it as adorable as our Sister Lan? Is it as good at taking care of the baby as Sister Lan is? Besides, all Jiang Yuning can do is satisfy her with things like robots. A guy needs to spend time keeping his girlpany, to warm her bed and to fulfill her physical needs. Am I right?


    Luosang thought for a moment, then felt that he was actually right.


    Before she responded to him, Murong Cheng said to Nian Xi, Did you clean your apartment on purpose to wee us? This ce is perfectly tidy.


    No. Yuning came over yesterday and cleaned it, said Nian Xi.


    He cleans your apartment? Murong Cheng was surprised.


    Yes. He does better work than the cleaningdy that you hired before. He even washed my sheetsst weekend. Nian Xi sighed. I think hes spoiling me.


    Luosang swallowed the words that she was going to say to her husband.


    I washed your panties, Nian Junting hurriedly whispered to her.


    That was true. Luosang stayed silent.


    At that moment, a loud bang was suddenly heard from the kitchen, followed by a few seconds of silence, then a series of noises. Everyone was startled.


    Nian Xi attempted to rush into the kitchen to stop the robot, but Nian Junting stopped her. What are you doing? Its not a living being and it might hurt you! I think its pretty strong and is out of control.


    Are we gonna let it trash my kitchen? Nian Xi stomped her foot anxiously.


    The kitchen is not important but keeping you safe is. Nian Junting pushed thedies backward.


    Big Jiang-jiang destroyed half of the kitchen and still didnt show signs of stopping. Nian Junting worried that it mighte to the living room, so he fetched a bowl of water and poured it onto the screen on the robots chest.


    It worked. The robot made a few stiff movements, then fell on the ground and stopped moving.


    Nian Junting walked up to the robot to see what was wrong with it. Once he approached, Big Jiang-jiang suddenly raised an arm and punched him in the chest, pushing him away.


    Darling, are you okay? Luosang gave a start, then hurriedly held him up from the ground.


    Nian Junting cursed in a deep voice. It was the first time in his life that he was embarrassed in front of the woman he loved. As he tried to move, his chest gave him severe pain. Thankfully, Big Jiang-jiang didnt move again.


    The kitchen was destroyed.

 Chapter 1276. Xi, Are You Trying to Make an Excuse for Jiang Yuning?

    Chapter 1276. Xi, Are You Trying to Make an Excuse for Jiang Yuning?


    Looking at her kitchen, Nian Xi almost cried.


    She rarely cooked in her kitchen, but her kitchen had been pretty. Now, the fridge, the water cooler, the microwave, and everything else were mostly destroyed. Jiang Yuning didnt give her a robot chef, he gave her a robot destroyer.


    More embarrassedly, it happened right in front of her brother and sister-inw, who had been watching her show off the robot on WeChat. She wasnt expecting things to be like that at all. It was so awkward.


    Brother, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital? Nian Xi managed to talk to Nian Junting, who was pressing a hand on his chest; his face was turning blue.


    What the hell is this! Nian Junting was infuriated. What kind of a semi-manufactured product did he give you! Youre lucky that Im here today. If I wasnt here, that thing would have trashed the whole apartment! What on earth is Jiang Yuning doing? Does he not consider safety when trying to make you happy?


    Yeah. Murong Cheng knitted her brows. She was deeply worried after watching what had happened. That was terrible. Look at your kitchen. You have to get a new one now.


    Jiang Yuning didnt make the robot, said Nian Xi with a weak voice. His friend made it.


    So he didnt even make it? Nian Junting was even angrier. What unskilled person made this? Didnt he even check it before giving it to you?


    Hes not capable of anything. He cant even make this kind of robot. Nian Xi flinched when being yelled at, and her cheeks were burning. He didnt mean that to happen. It worked well at first


    Thats why I called it a semi-manufactured product. Tell Jiang Yuning toe here right now, Nian Junting shouted so loudly that he suffered a muffled pain in his chest.


    Junting, I think we should take you to the hospital to get a check-up, said Luosang with concern. Im worried that you might have gotten injured on the inside.


    Ill wait for him. Nian Junting clenched his teeth.


    All right, cut the crap. Were going to the hospital. Mom will handle the rest. Luosang gave Morong Cheng an eye signal.


    Murong Cheng knew how short-tempered her son could be. He might start a fight against Jiang Yuning when thetter showed up. If that happened, Nian Xi would be put in a difficult situation, and Jiang Yuning wouldnt be happy either.


    Just go, she hurriedly said to her son. The robot hit you in the chest so it might be serious. You might have some internal injuries. You two just got married and I dont want you to get sick because of this. If you got sick, Sangsang would have to take care of you again. It wouldnt be easy for her. She took care of you twice when your leg was broken, so be careful. She might leave you if you be weak and ill.


    Luosang felt speechless. Was it really appropriate for her mother-inw to say that right in front of her?


    How dare she? Nian Junting tightened his handsome face, nervously red at Luosang and said, Im healthy. I wouldnt be injured if that thing didnt give me a surprise attack.


    I get it. Darling,


    youre the best, but Im really worried about you. Lets go. Luosang held his arm and pulled him away.


    Nian Xi called Jiang Yuning and told him about what happened. Jiang Yuning hurriedly stopped working and headed to her apartment with Uncle Han.


    At home, Nian Xi calmed down and said to Murong Cheng, Mom, I think it was Yunings friend who did this to me. Yuning said the person who made this robot was a friend of his. He and that girl grew up together, so I think she might be fond of him. She might have done something to the robot to make it hurt me.


    Murong Cheng looked at her with a frown and said, Xi, are you trying to make an excuse for Jiang Yuning?


    Mom, Im serious. Im a policewoman so I can tell, Nian Xi said anxiously. I was too careless.

 Chapter 1277. Go and Talk to Your Friend Xinxin

    Chapter 1277. Go and Talk to Your Friend Xinxin


    All right. Murong Cheng waved her hand and said, I wont let you ept any other robot that he tries to give you. Id rather hire someone to cook for you. Sometimes people need to learn to take care of themselves. Dont always rely on electronic products. If he doesnt want to cook for you, he doesnt have to do it. He doesnt need to ask his friend to make a robot chef for you. You see, your brother doesnt know how to cook either. Arent he and Sangsang living a good life together? Its not a problem. Our family can afford to hire someone to cook for you two when you get married.


    Mom, its not like that


    Let me ask you something. He doesnt know how to cook, right? Murong Cheng interrupted her.


    No, he doesnt, but hes learning Nian Xi felt that her mother was misunderstanding Jiang Yuning.


    Murong Cheng interrupted her again saying, When I first got together with your father, he also said that hed learn how to cook for me. Now were divorced and he still doesnt know how to cook. Sometimes saying youll learn is just an excuse. Before he learns it for you, anything he says is meaningless. Besides, husband and wife need to take care of each other. You cant always rely on him, so you need to learn how to cook too. I guess he got you this robot chef because he knows you dont like cooking.


    Mom, hes not like that. Nian Xi felt extremely frustrated and embarrassed. She was nning on using the robot to make her family know how capable Jiang Yuning was.


    Murong Cheng shook her head and sighed. She didnt even want to say anything else.


    At 7:30 p.m., the doorbell rang. Nian Xi answered it. Jiang Yuning came in, held her hands, and asked her nervously, Are you okay?


    Im good, but my brother suffered a punch, and my kitchen is destroyed. Go and take a look. Nian Xi wasnt happy to see him.


    Some of the words that her family said had gone to her heart. Noticing the sullen look on Nian Xis face, Jiang Yunings fair face grew pale.


    Mr. Jiang, Miss Nians mother is here too, Uncle Han said reminding him.


    Jiang Yuning raised his head, nodded at Murong Cheng and said, Aunty, Im sorry.


    Murong Cheng was really angry, however, looking at the pretty face of Jiang Yuning, she didnt have the heart to say anything too harsh to him.


    Take back your robot. Dont ever give her anything like that again, she said.


    A trace of sadness shed across Jiang Yunings ck eyes. He walked to the kitchen and looked inside. Big Jiang-jiang was lying on the floor, broken. The devastated kitchen shocked him.


    This is Uncle Han was stunned as well.


    Big Jiang-jiang was water damaged and couldnt be turned on.


    Ill fix your kitchen and buy you some better kitchen appliances, he said to Nian Xi with a deep voice. Im really sorry.


    A gleam of light poured in through the window, onto his beautiful face. Nian Xi understood thatining at that moment might hurt him very deeply.


    She wasnt feelingfortable though.


    I just want to know why it did this, she said.


    Jiang Yuning blinked and said, I need to take it back for a check-up to find out.


    I think you need to talk to your friend Xinxin, Nian Xi said honestly.


    Jiang Yuning paused for a second, then nodded. I certainly do. There is a severe problem with her technique

 Chapter 1278. Jiang Yuning Looked at Her Angry Face, Stopped Short With Fright

    Chapter 1278. Jiang Yuning Looked at Her Angry Face, Stopped Short With Fright


    Nian Xi knitted her brows, feeling speechless. Did he not understand what she really meant?


    Im trying to say that your friend might have done this on purpose.


    I dont understand, Jiang Yuning said confusedly.


    The frown on Nian Xis face grew deeper and deeper. All right, Jiang Yuning did have low EQ. Did she have to make it more straightforward?


    Uncle Han understood her. Miss Nian meant that Miss He might have given her a faulty robot on purpose.


    Yes. Nian Xi nodded. Im sure that she likes you. She knew that you are with me now, and that made her hate me. She wants to hurt me.


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and said with a weird look on his face, She doesnt like me that way.


    Nian Xi felt as if she was trying to talk to a cow. Why did she give me a robot like this if she doesnt like you that way? Look at my kitchen.


    Something is wrong with it, said Jiang Yuning blinking his eyes.


    Nian Xi was so angry that sheughed. I dont believe it. I think she did this on purpose.


    Ill get you a new kitchen. Jiang Yuning didnt know how to respond to her, so he stubbornly repeated what he said earlier.


    Are you listening to me? Nian Xi was frustrated. The failedmunication with Jiang Yuning made her feel even more annoyed. Why are you protecting that woman?


    Looking at her angry face, Jiang Yuning stopped short with fright.


    A whileter, he dropped his head and murmured with a very soft, pitiful voice, Im sorry. I shouldnt have given you the robot. Its my fault.


    He just wanted her to be happy. He never thought things would be like this. Even her family started to dislike him.


    The way he put himself down made Nian Xis heart twitch. She was also upset because he couldnt understand her point.


    He didnt seem to suspect that woman at all. Was that woman so trustworthy in his eyes?


    Feeling the tense atmosphere, Uncle Han said, Miss Nian, Mr. Jiang will certainly find out what happened. No matter what caused this, we will be responsible for your damage. If He Xin really did this on purpose, Mr. Jiang will never forgive her.


    Nian Xi snorted angrily and said, Your Mr. Jiang isnt going to suspect his dear friend.


    She has no reason to hurt you, said Jiang Yuning with a grievance. You said that she likes me, but I dont think so.


    Nian Xi didnt even know what to say.


    Hearing his conversation with Nian Xi, Murong Cheng felt that the boy either had a low EQ or was too unsophisticated. However, what Nian Xi said was only a guess of hers. After all, she couldnt prove it.


    There is no evidence to prove that, she said to her daughter, then turned to the boy and continued with, You guys just take the robot back, then find some people to clean the mess in the kitchen. Have you had dinner yet?


    Yes, said Jiang Yuning.


    Hearing that, Nian Xi was even angrier than before. She was starving, while he had had dinner already. Ill leave the mess to you. We havent had dinner yet, so were going out to eat. I hope my apartment wont look so messy when I came back.


    After saying that, she walked into her bedroom, put on a coat and then left with Murong Cheng.


    Uncle Han worked efficiently. On his way to Nian Xis apartment, he had already hired three hourly workers to toss the damaged things in the kitchen. After that, he ordered a series of kitchen appliances online. All the goods he ordered were the best ones.


    Mr. Jiang, Ive talked to the shop. Well pay them more for them to deliver everything tomorrow, Uncle Han said to Jiang Yuning, who was holding the robot in silence.

 Chapter 1279. Miss. He Has Been Especially Nice to You. Maybe She Does like You

    Chapter 1279. Miss. He Has Been Especially Nice to You. Maybe She Does like You


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head, not saying anything.


    His brain was filled with Nian Xis angry face.


    Uncle Han, will Xixi leave me? He had known her for a long time, but it was the first time she had ever got angry at him. He couldnt ept that.


    Dont be over-thinking. Uncle Han sighed. Before, he didnt want Jiang Yuning to fall into a rtionship, because he knew the boy could get hurt very easily. He was way too fragile and sensitive. Its normal for couples to fight, said Uncle Han.


    But many couples fought and then broke up. Jiang Yuning couldnt imagine breaking up with Nian Xi.


    He liked kissing her, feeling her fingers against his chest, holding her. He also wanted her to take advantage of him. And, oh that naughty, wicked smile on her face. It was delicious!


    Ms. Nian isnt angry because the robot ruined her kitchen. Shes angry because she believes Ms. He wants to hurt her, but you chose to stand on Ms. Hes side. Uncle Han bent over, exining carefully, Now, you need to figure out why the robot went out of control instead of staying here being worried.


    I wasnt helping her, said Jiang Yuning in a muffled voice. Thats crazy. How can Xinxin possibly be fond of me?


    How do you know shes not fond of you? Uncle Han asked him gently, I think Ms. He has been especially nice to you. Maybe she does like you.


    You think she did this on purpose too? Jiang Yuning paused briefly with surprise.


    I dont know. Uncle Han understood how difficult Jiang Yunings situation was. He would feel the same. I wont me anyone until Ive found the evidence. Maybe shes innocent, or maybe shes guilty.


    Jiang Yuning carefully pondered Uncle Hans words, then finally figured something out. He nodded and said, Lets clean the apartment and go home.


    Arent we waiting for Ms. Nian? asked Uncle Han.


    I need to find out whats wrong with the robot. Before that, shed only get angrier if she saw me here. Jiang Yuning sighed.


    After dinner, Nian Xi and Murong Cheng spent some time in a shopping mall.


    Murong Cheng received a call from Luosang.


    Junting is fine. He only has a slight contusion on his chest. He needs to rest for a few days, Luosang said.


    Its all my fault. Jiang Xi was still upset. Her phone buzzed at that moment. She took it out and saw Jiang Yunings message that the apartment was clean and that he had taken the robot back for a check-up.


    For some reason, Nian Xi felt even unhappier.


    What did he mean? She got scared but wasnt staying to keep herpany. Instead, he went back to examine the robot first. She also knew that she wouldnt be happy to go back to hear him exin for that Xinxin.


    Its done, isnt it? Lets head back then. Murong Cheng guessed it was Jiang Yuning who sent the message.


    I dont want to go back home, Nian Xi murmured. Ill go to your ce for the night.


    Im fine with it. Murong Cheng looked at the upset daughter of hers, sighed, and said, Dont overthink that. As an outsider, I think you might be wrong. You said that the girl wants to hurt you. Can you prove it? You said she likes Jiang Yuning, but what makes you think so? Have you ever met her?


    Nian Xi didnt know how to answer those questions. But still, she wasnt willing to admit that her mother was right. She pouted slightly and said, Im a policewoman. I can make a judgment based on my keen hunch.


    Bullsh*t, Murong Cheng snorted. Police solve cases with evidence. Thatsmon sense. How shameless are you to call yourself a policewoman without even knowing about that?


    Call it womans intuition, then. Nian Xi turned down the corners of her mouth.

 Chapter 1280. You Are Jealous

    Chapter 1280. You Are Jealous


    Its not intuition. Murong Cheng tittered. Youre just jealous. You know that he and the girl grew up together, so once the ident happened, you thought of her in the worst way. You dont even know if she likes Jiang Yuning or not.


    I dont think pure friendship can exist between a boy and a girl, Nian Xi mumbled. Its easy for a boy and a girl who grew up together to fall for each other. You see, my brother and Shuangwei, Ji Chuan and me. Besides, Jiang Yuning is so good-looking and so smart. Its normal for girls to like him.


    I doubt that, said Murong Cheng. All in all, you need to think about it rationally. Dont be unreasonable. Thats not what a policewoman should do.


    Nian Xi didnt know how to respond to that.


    But she knew her mother was right.


    She shouldnt use Jiang Yuning of trusting Xinxin unconditionally. He said that Xinxin had no reason to hurt her. Maybe he didnt think that He Xin was fond of him.


    Nian Xi wanted to meet her.


    Jiang Yuning brought the robot back to hisb and spent the whole night studying it without eating or drinking.


    In the morning, he took out his phone and called He Xin.


    Yuning, why did you suddenly call me today? He Xin sounded surprised. This is so unusual.


    There is a problem with the robot you gave me. Jiang Yuning stayed up the whole night. His voice was a little dry. It trashed my girlfriends kitchen and hurt her brother.


    How is that possible? He Xin gasped with surprise. Ill fly to you right now. I need to examine it. Im truly sorry. Ill pay for the damage.


    I dissembled the robotst night, Jiang Yuning said after a short silence. I found the program coding disordered. It cant be fixed.


    He Xin spent a few seconds thinking, then responded to him with, Maybe its because I added two new functions. The new codes might have conflicted with the old ones. Thats only a guess. I need to examine it myself to find out the exact cause. I never thought itd be like this. I guess your girlfriend was scared. Im sorry.


    Are the new functions making tea and coffee?Jiang Yuning asked.


    Yes, said He Xin. The one I showed youst year couldnt do those things. I added those functions this year. You said its for your girlfriend, so I figured you wanted to make her happy. Thats why I tried my best to expand the robots functions. Ive tested it in myb. It worked well back then. Maybe the program has broken down.


    Jiang Yuning couldnt think of any words to argue with her.


    Both Nian Xi and Uncle Han said that she liked him. Perhaps, they were both over-thinking.


    He always believed he was unattractive to girls. If he had been attractive, Nian Xi would have fallen for him long ago.


    I hope youll be more cautious about your future projects, said Jiang Yuning seriously. What if the products you developed put peoples lives in danger? We can create things, but with slight carelessness, we can also destroy things. We are scientists. We have to be responsible.


    You are right. Ill keep that in mind.


    After ending the call, Jiang Yuning felt a little troubled. How should he exin it to Nian Xi to make her believe him?


    Uncle Han brought food into his room at lunchtime. He ignored Uncle Han, but gazed at the robot silently.


    The store called Uncle Han, saying that the kitchen appliances for Nian Xis apartment had all been delivered.


    Uncle Han hurriedly drove to Nian Xis ce. She was on noon break. When she answered the door, she saw Uncle Han.


    Where is Mr. Jiang? She was a little disappointed not to see Jiang Yuning.

 Chapter 1281. No One Can Get Close to Her, but You

    Chapter 1281. No One Can Get Close to Her, but You


    Ms. Nian, I hope you can go and visit Mr. Jiang, Uncle Han said. Hes been in theb sincest night. He didnt have any breakfast or lunch and said hed find out what was wrong with the robot.


    Nian Xi furrowed her brows. Why was he so silly? Theres something wrong with that robot, but he doesnt need to be so eager to figure it out. Does he just want to clear that womans name?


    Uncle Han waved his hands and said, Ms. Nian, about that: You are over-thinking things. He wants so much to find out the problem with the robot because you were angry yesterday. He doesnt know how to make you happy, so he wants to figure out the cause and give you an explication. He does feel sorry. You said he was trying to protect Ms. He, but I think you were wrong about that. His world is quite simple, you see. In his world, there are no good or bad people. He doesnt understand things between boys and girls at all. He likes you, and he doesnt care if other people like him or not. As you know, he often automatically filters out what other people say to him.


    Nian Xi nodded. Last night, after hearing what Murong Cheng said to her, she calmed down and thought a lot.


    Jiang Yuning was like a nk sheet of paper.


    Uncle Han, youre with him every day. Tell me, does Ms. He like Mr. Jiang? asked Nian Xi straightforwardly.


    Uncle Han smiled and said, Ms. Nian, I didnt know that youre possessive. Shes just a girl Mr. Jiang knows, but youre jealous already.


    Nian Xi blushed slightly. Im not jealous. Im just trying to learn more about him.


    Uncle Han thought for a moment, then said, Ms. Nian, Ms. He isnt the only female Mr. Jiang knows. He knows all kinds of women. He works with them. Some are much older than he is. The girls his age who can work with him or talk to him about science are mostly geniuses. I think you should trust him. Hes the kind of person who lives in his own world. No one can get close to him, except you.


    Nian Xi felt both sweet and annoyed.


    So, if she ever had a rival in love, that girl would be a genius.


    She had no chance to outsmart girls like that, so if that day came, she would have to solve the problem with violence.


    Also, Mr. Jiang didnt quit cookery after giving you that robot chef. Uncle Han continued, These days, he spent an hour learning how to cook every day after he came out of theb. He stayed up until one in the morning. He said that one day, hed let you know that hes even better at cookery than the robot.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Why didnt he ever tell me about that?


    Hes never been an expressive person. Uncle Han lowered his head, nced at his watch, then gave a sigh and continued with, Its three pm already. He hasnt eaten anything today. I wonder if hes okay. Hes already skinny.


    On hearing that, Nian Xi felt an ache in her heart. He has to eat something. Who would cook for me if he starved himself to death? Uncle Han, Ill leave this ce to you. Im going to see him.


    Sure, sure. Uncle Han hurriedly nodded. Thank you, Ms. Nian. Maybe you can pick up some food for him on your way. Oh, Ill give you the key. He cant hear the doorbell when hes in theb.


    I know that. Nian Xi took the key and left.


    On her way, she bought some shrimp porridge, chicken feet, and double skim milk.


    Arriving at the apartment, Nian Xi opened the door with the key and went in. She had been in his apartment once.


    Once inside, she saw a pair of heels ced neatly by the door.

 Chapter 1282. Something Was Slowly Going out of Her Control

    Chapter 1282. Something Was Slowly Going out of Her Control


    A woman was in his apartment.


    That thought was the first thing that popped into Nian Xis head.


    She bent over to take a closer look at those shoes: white, slim heels, not too high. Those heels definitely did not belong to an older woman.


    So, a young woman was in Jiang Yunings apartment.


    Anger welled up inside her. What was going on? Did Jiang Yuning bring a girl home behind her back? Didnt Uncle Han say he had been working on the robot nonstop without eating or drinking? She wouldnt have known about this woman had she note here today with the key.


    Calm down. Jiang Yunings not a yer. If someone like him cheats on his girlfriend, Ill never believe in love again.


    Nian Xi walked inside on tiptoe.


    The rooms on the outside seemed to be empty. Jiang Yuningsb was in the center of the apartment. Nian Xi noticed that the door was unlocked. As she got closer, she heard some muffled voices.


    She bent down to look through the door slit and saw Jiang Yuning sitting on the floor with a girl who was wearing a long cardigan with the sleeves rolled up.


    The two of them were eating and chatting. The girl had long, shiny hair and, from behind, looked quite petite.


    That scene created a ck hole in Nian Xis heart.


    All along, apart from science, she thought she was Jiang Yunings whole world. She never worried about another woman stealing him away or that he might have someone on the side.


    But at that very moment, she felt as if her life was spinning out of control.


    It turned out that any man would have girls in his life.


    She couldnt hear what those two were talking about, but she saw the girl put a piece of vegetable in his bowl. He didnt seem to notice her movement and just put the food into his mouth.


    Nian Xi almost exploded.


    She kicked the door open and stormed in.


    Xi, what are you doing here? Jiang Yuning turned and saw her, his eyes glowed brightly.


    The woman turned around too. She was young. From her appearance, she looked as if she had grown up in a family of academics.


    Nian Xi considered herself prettier than the girl, though.


    Why cant I be here? I need to know why the robot trashed my kitchen. Nian Xi restrained her anger, looked at the girl, and said with a smile, Who is this? I havent seen her before. Shes pretty.


    Before Jiang Yuning said anything, the girl introduced herself, My name is He Xin. Youre Yunings girlfriend, arent you? I heard that the robot I made had a problem, so I came here as soon as I could. Im so sorry. As for the damage, you can give me a number. Ill pay you double.


    Nian Xis heart skipped a beat.


    What she was worried about really did happen.


    Beforeing into the room, she wondered if the girl was He Xin. It turned out she had guessed right.


    Seeking how the girl put the vegetable in Jiang Yunings bowl, she was sure she liked him.


    Double? All right. I lost five or six hundred thousand in total. You can give me a million, Nian Xi said with a smile. Thats not arge sum of money.


    He Xin furrowed her brows and said, From what I heard, only some kitchen appliances were damaged. A million is a little too much, even includingpensation for your pain and suffering. Furnishing an entire apartment would only cost about 400,000, and what were talking about is just a kitchen. Yuning, what do you think?


    Eh? Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and said, Ive never bought any kitchen appliances yet. But I think Its a little too much indeed.

 Chapter 1283. Thank You, Miss. He, for Caring so Much About My Boyfriend

    Chapter 1283. Thank You, Miss. He, for Caring so Much About My Boyfriend


    Nian Xi was so angry she felt like twisting Jiang Yunings ears.


    He not only ate the food that the woman put in his bowl but also helped her. That was outrageous.


    I think Ms. Nian was probably joking, He Xin said, smiling. Ms. Nian, I meant what I said.


    Nian Xi wasnt happy to hear that. Did she not mean what she said?


    Go and talk to Uncle Han, said Nian Xi coldly. Hes the one responsible for cleaning my damaged kitchen. Ms. He, Im d youre here. I heard from Yuning that yourepetent. I admire you. But, why was the robot suddenly out of control? Please give me an exnation.


    Yuning and I have been trying to figure that out, said He Xin. I knew Yuning wanted to make you happy with this robot, so I added two new functions to it. The new program conflicted with the old ones. As for which program it conflicted with, were still trying to find out. I just got here.


    Ms. He, said Nian Xi displeasedly. Im not your robot tester. I dont know what you do, but I know that without multiple tests, a high-tech product shouldnt be added with new programs. This robot is not a motorcycle to which you can easily add a new wheel. As far as I know, many robots undergo thorough testing before they are put into the market because once an ident happened, it might endanger peoples lives.


    I understand, He Xin nodded. I didnt just add a random new program to it. I stayed up for two entire nights to work on the new program because I was worried it might not work well. However, Im not omnipotent. I cant guarantee a hundred percent safety. Even the robots you can find on the market now might have some problems and be recalled. The same thing happens to food and electrical appliances, too.


    Ms. He, you are very glib, Nian Xi sneered.


    M. Nian, you are prejudiced against me. He Xin gave a smile.


    Stop fighting. The unfriendly conversation between the two girls made was making Jiang Tuning dizzy. Xi, whats in your hand? he said. It looks like food.


    Nian Xi almost forgot about the food that she brought there. She was going to feed Jiang Yuning, but unexpectedly he was enjoying a meal with another girl.


    Nian Xi smiled, said, Yeah. This food is my lunch. I havent had lunch yet.


    After saying that, she sat down on a chair and opened the food box. A pleasant aroma filled theb.


    Looking at her food, Jiang Yunings stomach grumbled. With no other choices, he picked up his rice and vegetables and continued eating.


    Nian Xi wouldnt share her food with him, so he could only eat his own.


    Nian Xi even wanted to vomit blood. What a silly boy. Couldnt he ask her to share her lunch?


    He Xin looked at Nian Xi, smiling. Ms. Nian is having such a rich lunch. I thought you brought it for Yuning. Thankfully, I already bought him lunch on my way here.


    So, was he eating He Xins food?


    How dare he eat another womans food right in front of his girlfriend?


    Nian Xi felt like strangling him.


    Why on earth did she fall for a man with such a low EQ?


    Was she destined to be with a man like that?


    Despite her anger, she put on a happy face and said, Thank you, Mi. He, for caring about my boyfriend so much. You are the best friend he has. If it werent for the robot, I wouldnt have even known he has such a good friend.


    The smile on He Xins face froze slightly. Understandable, she said. Yuning isnt big on talking.

 Chapter 1284. Nian Xi Scooped Some Porridge and Put it Into His Mouth

    Chapter 1284. Nian Xi Scooped Some Porridge and Put it Into His Mouth


    Oh? Nian Xi smiled and answered, Then howe hes so talkative with me?


    Thats why youre his girlfriend. He Xins mouth corners twitched slightly.


    Nian Xi was at a loss to say anything.


    She couldnt figure out what was going through He Xins mind.


    Were all smart girls this difficult?


    Nian Xi didnt want to spend time conspiring against her. Instead, she crooked her finger toward Jiang Yuning and said to him, Come here.


    Xi, what do you want me to do? Jiang Yuning shuffled toward her.


    Cant I call you for no reason? Nian Xi pushed her porridge toward him and said, Here, have some.


    No, Jiang Yuning shook his head. You havent had lunch yet. I dont want you to be hungry.


    Ive had enough. Just take some, please. Nian Xi scooped up some porridge and put it into his mouth.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly swallowed it. He dropped the rice, took over her porridge, then said to her carefully, Xi, are you still mad at me?


    Ask my brother. Nian Xi couldnt help saying that to him.


    I will visit him after I figure out what caused the ident, said Jiang Yuning stubbornly. Or I wouldnt be able to give him an exnation.


    For the first time, Nian Xi found him pretty stubborn.


    Xi, you should have some of this too. I dont want you to be hungry, Jiang Yuning brought some porridge to her lips.


    Nian Xi had no appetite. However, as He Xi was sitting there and watching her, she shared the porridge with Jiang Yuning and asionally put some egg tart and chicken feet into his mouth.


    Watching that, He Xin was shocked. Before, Jiang Yuning never agreed to eat any meat, no matter how hard she tried to persuade him. Now, he even ate chicken feet.


    Nian Xi was satisfied to see the fake smile stered on He Xins face.


    At that point, she was almost sure He Xin liked Jiang Yuning.


    She didnt know if the robot ident was intentional, but she knew that she needed to stay vignt against He Xin.


    As Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi finished eating, He Xin said to Jiang Yuning, Yuning, if youre finished, lets get back to programming.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. Before he stood up, Nian Xi said to He Xin, Ms. He, you created the robot single-handedly, so Im sure you can figure out the problem by yourself. The cause was simply a program. Even if you found out and told me about it, I wouldnt understand. I think you should bring the robot home with you. After all, I dont want it anymore, whether you can repair it or not.


    Her tone was so frosty that He Xin could barely keep the smile on her face.


    Ms. Nian, it seems that you dont like me. Of course, I understand. There might be a misunderstanding between us, but you dont need to be so brusk, because Yuning and I will still have to see each other a lot even after you marry him.


    Nian Xi furrowed her brows.


    He Xin continued with, Yunings father and my father are both biologists. They spend more time together than my mom ever spent with my father. My project is simr to Yunings. The social circle of scientists in the country is small. We often attend academic conferences together.


    Nian Xi was silent and looked at Jiang Yuning.


    Nodding, Jiang Yuning nced at He Xin. Atst, he pulled Nian Xis sleeve and said, Lets talk outside.


    Nian Xi turned and walked out. Her head was even pounding at the moment.


    She had no idea that He Xins family and Jiang Yunings family were friends.


    Did that mean that He Xin would often show up in Jiang Yuningsb?


    The two of them walked straight into Jiang Yunings bedroom.


    Behind the closed door, Nian Xi folded her arms and stared at Jiang Yuning expressionlessly.

 Chapter 1285. In My Eyes, Only You and My Mother Are Women

    Chapter 1285. In My Eyes, Only You and My Mother Are Women


    Under her gaze, Jiang Yuning felt a little uneasy. Sincest night she had be distant and aloof. He sensed she was backing away.


    What should he say to her? He had no idea because hed never experienced something like this before.


    After spending a while struggling, he said quietly, Xi, are you so unhappy because you dont like me spending time with Xinxin?


    Xinxin? Xinxin! Nian Xi couldnt help interrupting him. You two seem so chummy. You even ate the food she put in your bowl. You have so much to talk about. Youre a perfect match! What am I? Im someone who stole you away from her!


    Aargh! Back in theb, she was trying her best to restrain her anger. She didnt want to yell at him in front of He Xin.


    She admitted she was possessive. She couldnt allow any impurity in her rtionship. Otherwise, she wouldnt have broken up with Feng Ji Chuan.


    Jiang Yuning froze.


    He blinked, not knowing what to do next. After taking a deep breath, he stammered, We are not close I-I call her that since I was little. My mom told me to.


    Nian Xi was so angry she almost burst into tears. She looked away so she wouldnt see him. Looking at him made her feel even sadder.


    Xi, please dont be mad at me. I wont call her that anymore if you dont like it. Jiang Yuning teasingly pulled her sleeve. I didnt eat the food she put in my bowl.


    I saw it with my own eyes! Nian Xi said. Dont you have any feeling that she likes you? I only spent a few minutes in thatb, and its obvious to me that she does. I could feel it.


    Confused, Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, I cant tell if she likes me or not. But I can tell that you dont like her.


    Nian Xi didnt even want to say another word.


    But she responded to him with, No, I dont like your childhood sweetheart. Do you have a problem with that? Go and be with her if you do.


    No, no. I have no problem with it. Jiang Yuning shook his head quickly. You dont need to like anyone but me. Ill tell her to go home. Ill never use anything from her again.


    On hearing that, Nian Xi felt slightly better. It turned out Jiang Yuning was not beyond redemption.


    But I might still need to talk about work with her at times. Jiang Yuning continued, Thats inevitable. Its the same with you. You have male friends and colleagues. You said so yourself. I didnt forbid you from spending time with them.


    Thats different, Nian Xi said. Most of my male colleagues are married. Fang Qi is single, but hes not fond of me. Were like brother and sister.


    What about Feng Ji Chuan? Jiang Yuning mumbled. He brought materials to your office all the time, and you went to your nephews party with him.


    That was because I wanted to solve my case as soon as possible. As for the party, I had no choice. Our families used to be friends. He and I have a lot of mutual acquaintances. I might inevitably run into him at some parties.


    Its the same for me, Jiang Yuning nodded. She and I have to attend some training together, the domestic ones, the international ones.


    Uh-huh. Nian Xi didnt know what else to say.


    Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuning had learned to use her words against her. Clever boy.


    Xi, I think you need to trust me, said Jiang Yuning seriously. I only like you. In my eyes, you and my mother are the only two women in the world. You said that He Xin likes me. I dont know about that, because its none of my business. I dont care if she likes me or not. Not in the past, not now, not ever.

 Chapter 1286. You Bit Me?

    Chapter 1286. You Bit Me?


    His words finally cheered Nian Xi up a little bit.


    If he chose to stand on the side of that friend of his and speak for her without hesitation, like what Feng Ji Chuan did, Nian Xi believed she needed to reconsider her rtionship with him.


    She was his girlfriend. Why on earth would he always help someone else?


    Thinking about that, she suddenly started to admire her brother, of all people.


    Indeed, Nian Junting seemed like a perfect husband.


    I know Ive been mean to your friend, Nian Xi said. Im not nice to her. Im petty. But thats because I feel that shes fond of you. It might also have something to do with the fact that I was hurt once. I want to be the only one in my boyfriends heart. Im not saying you cant have female friends. Its just that you have to mind your behavior. You can talk about work but in private. Dont be so close to her. Dont eat the food that she put in your bowl. Also, I want you always to be on my side. You see, you call me Xi and her Xinxin. Its as if youre as close to her as you are to me. You have to think about it carefully. Is your girlfriend or your friend more important? If you think Ive been bossy and possessive, yes, youre right. I am bossy and possessive.


    Im sorry. I get it, Jiang Yuning nodded. I wont call her that again. Xi, please dont be mad at me.


    He held her hand and said in a soft voice, Ive been worried sincest night. Im worried you might leave me or hate me. Its the first time something like this has happened to me. I dont know what to do.


    I was angryst night, but I wont leave you over a robot. Thats not some problem that touches my bottom line. Nian Xi pouted slightly before continuing in a low voice, I wont break up with you unless we have huge disagreements, or you are in an inappropriately close rtionship with another woman, or you choose another woman over me.


    After spending a short while in a daze, Jiang Yuning understood her meaning: So, as long as I avoid what Nian Xi listed, she wont leave me.


    Xi, dont worry. I will certainly keep a distance from He Xin from now on. I think you were right. Ill tell her to take the robot home, Jiang Yuning said. Then he prepared to leave the room. But before he left, Nian Xi held his hand.


    Xi and Before he could finish, Nian Xi grasped his cor, dragged his head downward, and pressed her soft lips against his.


    His legs went limp. As he prepared to hold her, a sudden sting came from his lips, making him moan.


    Nian Xi let go of him and turned up her mouth corners in a smile of satisfaction.


    Jiang Yuning touched his lips and found blood on his fingers. He could still sense the burning pain from his lips.


    Xi, you bit me?


    Yes, I bit you. Nian Xi adjusted his cor and said. You can leave now.


    In theb, He Xin was stunned when she saw the fresh wound on Jiang Yunings thin, red lips.


    The wound wasnt there when he left theb. It was a bite wound.


    She nced at Nian Xi, who was wearing a wicked smile, and felt as if someone had cut her heart with a knife, giving her the pain and bleeding.


    Recalling what Nian Xi did to him just now, Jiang Yuning felt a little shy.


    Xin He Xin, he said to He Xin with flushed cheeks.


    Yuning, why did you suddenly call my full name? He Xin looked at Nian Xi. Did Ms. Nian ask you to do this?


    Ms. Nian, you dont need to see me as an enemy, she said to Nian Xi. Cant Yuning even have friends?

 Chapter 1287. Yuning and I Will Sleep in the Master Bedroom

    Chapter 1287. Yuning and I Will Sleep in the Master Bedroom


    When did I say you cant be his friend? asked Nian Xi innocently. She gave Jiang Yuning a nudge and said, Please exin to her.


    Huh? He was a bit confused.


    Xi is capable of change, he thought.


    Just now, in the room, she acted all mean and petty


    Of course, she used those words to describe herself, too.


    It has nothing to do with her, Jiang Yuning said to He Xin after a short hesitation. I found your name sounds a little like hers. Also, calling you Xinxin sounds a little too intimate. So I decided to call you by your full name. If you dont like it, Ill call you Ms. He.


    He Xin was at a loss for words.


    Seeing the sad expression on He Xins face gave Nian Xi a jolt of joy. The education she gave Jiang Yuning just now was working wonders. The boy was a quick learner!


    He Xin is fine. Forcing a smile, she said, Ive been thinking about what Ms. Nian said earlier. Youre right. I should bring this robot home and take my time to find out whats wrong with it. Ill leave tomorrow morning. Let me stay here for the night. Its already four oclock. The airport is far away. If I leave now, I wont get home until midnight. Bringing this robot with me can be inconvenient, too. Besides, weve already dissembled it. Itll take me a couple of hours to put all these parts back together.


    Jiang Yunings heart was thumping. Oh, this is bad! He Xin spending the night? Nian Xi will be even angrier at me.


    What He Xin said wasnt wrong, though. He couldnt possibly make her leave right now.


    He looked at Nian Xi. His lips were even shaking.


    To his surprise, Nian Xi nodded with a smile and said, Of course. Youre Yunings friend. You can stay in the guest room. Yuning and I will sleep in the master bedroom. Let us know if you need anything.


    Now Jiang Yunings legs started to tremble.


    What? Would they sleep in the master bedroom?


    Would he sleep together with Nian Xi tonight?


    He couldnt stay calm.


    He Xin was stunned. She tried to stayposed, but her face grew pale.


    Are you living together already? she asked.


    Oh, no, Nian Xi said smilingly. Weve slept together asionally. Were a modern couple. Were not married yet, but that doesnt mean we cant sleep with each other. Well, if youre asking when we started doing that, I think it was in France.


    Jiang Yuning felt as if his brain wasnt working anymore.


    He Xins mouth corners twitched. France? That wasst year.


    Yeah. I was responsible for his safety back then. Nian Xi continued with, We knew each other way before that, though. He often got lost. Every time he couldnt find his way home, he came to the police station to find me. He refused to go with anyone but me. Soter on, I brought him to my ce. Eh, enough of our stories. Ms. He, you can stay here and clean theb. Yuning and I are going out to do some shopping. We wont back for dinner. Welle back before bedtime.


    After saying that, she dragged Jiang Yuning toward the door without waiting for He Xins response.


    By the door, she turned and said, Oh, forget about thepensation. I dont need that little money. Besides, Yuning has already bought me new kitchen appliances.


    After they left, the smile on He Xins face gradually faded.


    This girl isnt easy to deal with at all, she said to herself.


    After getting into Nian Xis car, Jiang Yuning finally realized what was happening. With red cheeks, he stuttered, Xi, if you if you dont want me to stay here with her for the night, I can go to your ce tonight. You dont have to share a room with me. Thats not good.


    No. I have to sleep at your ce tonight. Nian Xi started the car and said with determination, And we will share a room.

 Chapter 1288. Sleep on the Ground? in Your Dream

    Chapter 1288. Sleep on the Ground? in Your Dream


    Hearing Nian Xis firm tone made Jiang Yunings heart pound.


    Earlier, she almost drove him crazy by kissing and touching him on the couch. Tonight, they would be sleeping in the same room. He couldnt imagine what Nian Xi had in mind.


    Because of the robot, he had already upset Nian Junting. If, in addition to that, he was about to break the promise he made to him, Nian Junting would eat him alive.


    He had no idea why Nian Xi suddenly decided to spend the night with him in his room. The girls thoughts were hard to fathom.


    Okay. Ill sleep on the floor, you on the bed, as we did in France, Jiang Yuning murmured.


    Nian Xi turned, nced at him, and smiled silently.


    Sleep on the floor? In your dreams, she thought.


    A serious car theft had recently taken ce in Xia City. Nian Xi and Fang Qi were working on the case, and the two of them met in the food market.


    Fang Qi was surprised to see Jiang Yuning in Nian Xis car.


    Why did you bring him? Doesnt Professor Jiang need to do his science project?


    Today is special. Nian Xi told Jiang Yuning to get out of the car.


    I can help you with the case, Jiang Yuning hurriedly said.


    Fang Qi smiled. Professor Jiang, Im afraid you cant help us with this case. Recently, some people have been involved in a car theft ring. They have been driving the stolen cars to the outskirts of the suburbs, dismantling them, and taking away the valuable parts. Its generated an industry chain for stealing and selling car parts. The amount of money involved in the case cant be small.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned to hear about the case. Quite a whileter, he finally let out a few words, There are so many bad guys.


    Nian Xi nced at him. You didnt know? She thought to herself, that friend of yours is probably one of the bad guys. Shes just pretending to be innocent.


    The three of them went home after dinner.


    On the way back to Jiang Yunings apartment, Nian Xi bought herself some clothes to change into.


    Uncle Han was already home. Earlier, Jiang Yuning had texted him about what was happening. Seeing Nian Xi and Jiang Yuninge back, Uncle Han gave them a mysterious smile, then said, Ms. Nian, I have prepared a towel and pajamas for you. Theyre all in Mr. Jiangs room already.


    Thank you. Uncle Hans thoughtfulness made Nian Xi feel satisfied. Wheres Ms.He? she asked.


    Still in theb, said Uncle Han.


    Shes so professional, Nian Xi nodded. Then she held Jiang Yunings hand and said, Lets go back to our room.


    Watching Mr. Jiang let himself be dragged away by Nian Xi without resisting made Uncle Han click his tongue. Ms. He has no chance to win at all, he thought.


    Who in the world could be more possessive and more passionate to control of the situation than Ms. Nian?


    On the way to the bedroom, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning bumped into He Xin as she wasing out of theb. Seeing the two, He Xin had a confused look in her eyes.


    You guys came home. Yuning, can you do me a favor? There are a few chips that I dont know where you dismantled them from.


    No way, Nian Xi smiled. Ms. He, you created that robot. Dont you know where those chips belong?


    Because all the chips look simr. The robot was water damaged, some information in the chips is gone He Xin forced a smile.


    Go, Nian Xi nodded at Jiang Yuning. Then she put her mouth near his ear and whispered, Come back to me as soon as you can. I bought new underwear. You need to wash them for me.


    Jiang Yunings cheeks immediately reddened.


    Seriously? Nian Xi wanted him to wash her underwear?


    He nervously gasped for air. Deep down, he was slightly happy and excited.


    Em, he said.


    He followed He Xin back to theb and picked up the chips but was distracted the whole time.


    Yuning, Ms. Nian is your girlfriend, but you and I grew up together. You cant forget about your friend just because you have a girlfriend now, He Xin said with a bitter smile.

 Chapter 1289. Vixen...

    Chapter 1289. Vixen...


    Jiang Yuning looked at her with his wide eyes and innocent gaze. You wont understand even if I tell you. You will understand when you have a boyfriend.


    He lowered his head and focused on searching for theputer chip again; what he really wanted to do though was get back to his room to help do Nian Xisundry.


    I know. He Xin looked at his defined features and gorgeous profile; she wished time would stand still forever.


    She thought that if she had stayed beside him quietly and supportively, the two of them would eventually end up together. They had so many things going for them: encouragement from their families, simr professions, endlessmon interests.


    Even if you have a girlfriend, you still need friends


    I can, Jiang Yuning replied without ncing up. I never had friends before anyway; I think Im quite all right with this arrangement.


    And Im not your friend? He Xin was crestfallen.


    I dont know. Jiang Yuning paused to consider her question before he answered frankly, Apart from research topics and academic-rted things, I dont wish to talk about other things with you. He Xin, I dont know why youre so hung up over this issue. Weve talked about this several times. Im swamped. I have to do my research every day, eat, sleep, daydream, and spend time with my girlfriend. If you are so free, you should think about how you canplete the experiment trial you are involved in. I finally understand why your robot project failed; youve just got too much free time on your hands.


    Im not He Xin was stumped for words after hearing him say that.


    She never dared to confess her feelings for him because she knew how inept he was at social interactions.


    I put things back in their original positions for you. Jiang Yuning stood up, Now, I have to go back and do Xixisundry for her.


    He Xin said, We havent seen each other in so long. I have many other questions to ask you; I need some advice. Can you go back a littleter


    No can do. Jiang Yuning shook his head firmly. It was the first time Nian Xi hade over to spend the night. He wanted to spend more time with her. How could he waste precious time with He Xin? It wasnt even something he wanted to figure out anyway.


    He Xin was enraged as her chest rose and fell, Youre letting your romantic rtionship take precedence over your friendship.


    Isnt that normal? Jiang Yuning turned to walk away without even looking back. He Xin was furious. How on earth did she fall in love with someone so thick?


    Jiang Yuning knocked on the door of the bedroom before going in nervously.


    Nian Xis knitted cardigan was thrown aside; she was wearing a strappy camisole and ying with her phone on his bed. Perhaps it was because she was a cop. She had curves, and the ck camisole and jeans looked ttering on her. Her neck, her hips to her toes, her lines were sexy, and she was exuding a wild charm.


    It was as if someone had sucked out the air from the big room; Jiang Yuning found it challenging to breathe regrly.


    Youre back? Nian Xi sat up when she heard him walk in, the corners of her mouth upturned. That was pretty fast. I thought she was going to make you stay for a while more and ask you a few more research questions.


    Jiang Yuning was shocked, How did you know?


    Nian Xi had a knowing look on her face, I know plenty of things.


    You are good, no wonder youre a cop. Jiang Yuning looked around the room nervously. He didnt dare to stare at her exposed corbones and her bare shoulders.


    Im better at other things, do you want to try? Nian Xi climbed out of bed, barefoot. She walked over to him on the wooden floor, her right hand gently caressing his cheeks. Her voice was raspy, and she was suggestive.


    Vixen.


    Jiang Yuning thought about that as she stroked his face, his cheeks were bright red and hot now, I Ill do yourundry. Where did you leave your things?

    Chapter 1290. Nian Xi was Secretly so Wild and Saucy?


    Nian Xis lips curled into a smile; she raised her chin a little. I left them in the bag. Remember to dry them with the hairdryer. Do the underwear first; you can dry my bra tomorrow morning. I wont be wearing it when Im sleeping with you tonight anyway.


    She purposely emphasized the words sleeping with you. Flustered and embarrassed, Jiang Yuning grabbed the bag and bolted to the bathroom.


    Nian Xi chuckled with amusement as she stared at Jiang Yuning from behind. She enjoyed teasing him like this.


    In the bathroom, Jiang Yuning inhaled a big gulp of air before taking the underwear out of the bag. He was puzzled by the curious looking articles he saw: a ckcy bra with thin, almost translucent padding and a matching ckce thong with minimal fabric. It was translucent as well.


    When he apanied Nian Xi to the shop earlier, he was too shy to step inside, so he waited for her for near the exit. He had no idea she picked out such designs.


    Now he understood why the shopkeeper gave him such a mysterious smile when he and Nain Xi left together.


    Oh god, if he hadnt seen it for himself, he would never have imagined that Nian Xi wore these things. Did she wear this sort of lingerie all the time?


    Was Nian Xi secretly so wild and saucy?


    When he looked at the items in his hands, Jiang Yuning couldnt help but picture Nian Xi in those skimpy, sexy underthings. Suddenly, his nose was hot, and a warm liquid flowed from his nostrils.


    He quickly wiped his nose and stopped himself from thinking about such things.


    While washing the underwear, his hands were trembling, and he was still blushing. Since the fabric was minimal, he finished in no time.


    About ten minutester, he walked out with the warmed intimates. Nian Xi looked up while lying on the bed. Youre done? she asked with raised brows.


    Yeah. Jiang Yuning handed them to her. Xixi, why did you youre wearing too little, especially the panties They dont look toofortable.


    Hmm, I thought itd be easier for you to wash them if there was less fabric. Nian Xi climbed over toward him and blew some hot air into his ear. Do you like them?


    Jiang Yuning shuddered uncontrobly when she did that. He was blushing red hot again. He flinched, I it doesnt matter whether I like it a not. I want you to befortable when you wear them.


    No, I think its not important whether I find themfortable; its more important if you like them. Nian Xi shook her head thoughtfully.


    Jiang Yuning was touched, his Xixi was so yful, I like them.


    He lowered his head, embarrassed.


    Good. As long as you like them, Ill go put them on then. Nian Xi kissed his forehead happily and tiptoed to the bathroom.


    Jiang Yuning touched his forehead, where she had just kissed him.


    His heart was blissful, and it was a sweet feeling.


    He heard the sound of the running water and could barely make out her silhouette through the frosted ss of the shower door.


    Is Nian Xi undressing?


    Is Nian Xi showering?


    Is Nian Xi washing her hair?


    He couldnt help wondering about these things: The more he thought about it, the racier the scenes in his mind. Finally, he couldnt stand it any longer. He walked out of the room and grabbed a bottle of ice-cold water from the fridge and gulped it down in one go.


    Mister, do you want a bottle of ice-cold beer? Uncle Han appeared out of nowhere from behind.


    Jiang Yuning jumped. He nearly choked on his water and coughed violently as he red at Uncle Han, I dont drink alcohol


    I know that alcohol will make you braver. Uncle Han smiled mysteriously. Im worried that Ms. Nian will pounce on you tonight and that you might not have the courage to push her away.

 Chapter 1291. Xixi, Dont Force Me

    Chapter 1291. Xixi, Don''t Force Me


    Oh, really? Is that how it works? Jiang Yuning looked at the beer; he was in a daze.


    Yes. Uncle Han nodded his head. Ms. Nian is quite strong; shes a cop. Plus, you hardly ever have the courage to say no to her anyway; the alcohol will help you with that.


    Jiang Yuning was wavering. Uncle Han made beer sound like a wonder drug. But I wont lose my reason and get ahead of myself


    Of course not. This beer has a very low alcohol content. Uncle Han stuffed the bottle in his hands. Just have a sip whenever your heart rate quickens.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning thought what Uncle Han said made sense. He was just a little embarrassed that Uncle Han knew about these things.


    Right. And this. Uncle Han shoved a small item into his hand.


    Jiang Yuning looked down at it and was shocked, so shocked he flung it across the room as if he was holding onto something scalding hot. He was flustered and embarrassed. Uncle Han, who do you take me for? I wont ever do that before marriage.


    This is just in case. Uncle Han spoke slowly and said, If Ms. Nian pounces on you, it doesnt matter how much alcohol youve had, you have no choice but to use this. You wouldnt want to get her pregnant, would you? This is just a safety precaution, of course. I know that theres a 99 percent chance you wont have to use this.


    Uncle Han picked up the condom and stuffed it into Jiang Yunings pocket.


    Jiang Yuning didnt refuse this time.


    Yes, just in case.


    In case Nian Xi pounces on me. What if I have no chance of refusing her?


    Jiang Yuning returned to the room with a bottle of beer and a condom; he walked in bravely.


    Nian Xi was still in the shower. Jiang Yuning was sitting on the edge of the bed obediently, changing the duvet cover.


    Suddenly, the bathroom door slid open, and Nian Xi reached out with her naked arms, beckoning him, I forgot to grab a towel; can you get one for me?


    Jiang Yuning looked at her slender arm; it seemed to be beckoning him.


    He inhaled deeply before grabbing a towel and walking over to her tentatively.


    For some reason, every step he took made him feel as if he was Tang Sanzang walking into the trap of a vixen.


    When he handed the towel over to Nian Xi, she reached out and grabbed his wrist instead of the cloth.


    Before Jiang Yuning could react, she had already pulled him into the bathroom with her.


    He was caught by surprise, his head buzzing.


    Nian Xi wasnt dressed, she wasnt wearing anything.


    And Im about to see her naked body?


    He had never seen adys naked body before.


    He shut his eyes tightly in terror, his body trembling nervously with both hands in the air; he didnt want to touch anything identally. He was mumbling nervously, I didnt see anything, I didnt see anything, I wont see or touch anything. Xixi, donte near me.


    Nian Xi wasughing hysterically as she watched him panic before him.


    One day, she would die ofughter watching him. How could anyone be so pure and innocent?


    No, I want toe close to you. Nian Xi quickly dived into his embrace, circling her arms around his neck.


    Jiang Yuning was panting now; he was about to break down.


    Nian Xi is hugging me without any clothes on.


    How can I handle that?


    Ningning, touch me, Nian Xi blew some hot air into his ears and grabbed his hands to ce them on her body.


    Xixi, dont force me. I should have had some beer beforeing in. Uncle Han was right. I need alcohol to have the courage to push her away.


    Im going to force you. Quick, touch me, Nian Xi pressed his hands on her body forcefully.


    Jiang Yunings mind went nk. But wait. Something was wrong: It felt like clothes under his touch, not flesh.

 Chapter 1292. He really wanted to see it...

    Chapter 1292. He really wanted to see it...


    His fingertips were gently caressing her clothing. Huh? Clothing?


    Yes. Clothing.


    He opened his eyes and saw Nian Xi in front of him, dressed in a strapped nightdress. This cunning little fox was lying on his chest, smiling slyly.


    Ha! This little fox had fooled him!


    He was angry and embarrassedand not just a little disappointed. You lied to me.


    When did I lie to you? Nian Xi was smiling now. Did I tell you I was wearing clothes or not wearing any clothes?


    Jiang Yuning was stumped: She never said anything of the sort. You asked me for a towel. I thought you needed it to dry your body.


    He added begrudgingly, Anyone would have thought the same, that you were teasing me on purpose.


    No, I wasnt. I needed a towel to dry my hair. Who knew Nian Xi wrapped her arms around her neck, and she was grinning. I didnt know you had such indecent thoughts. Or did you want to catch me naked? You say you dont want to, but you secretly desire my body.


    Im not Jiang Yuning turned crimson from embarrassment and shook his head vigorously as if someone had caught him in a lie.


    All right. I guess youre not at all curious about my amazing body then, Nian Xi grunted. She released him as she took the towel and began drying her hair. I know youre curious to see He Xins.


    No. Jiang Yuning said anxiously.


    Who are you excited to see then? Nian Xi was getting carried away with her teasing; she circled her fingers around his cor yfully as she asked him the question. Let me tell you something. I have on my body the lingerie you washed just now.


    A gush of blood rushed to Jiang Yunings head as he thought about the image in his head.


    It was so seductive.


    He wanted to see it.


    Xixi, dont fool around. Jiang Yunings body was driving him crazy. He caught a glimpse of Nian XIs dirty clothes on the bench and abruptly pushed her aside. Ill help you wash your clothes.


    No need. Nian Xi was the flustered one this time. She quickly blocked him and said, Ill take care of these myself.


    Why? Jiang Yuning was puzzled. I washed them for you before; its okay. Ill do a good job of cleaning them.


    Thats different. Nian Xi was desperate. Ive worn these clothes.


    Thats okay; I dont mind.


    Well, I do mind. Nian Xi pushed him out of the bathroom.


    Xixi, I dont mind it; dont worry about it. Jiang Yuning was begging her now.


    You can dry them for meter, said Nian Xi as she mmed the door shut.


    After eight minutes, Nian Xi handed him the wet clothes. She didnt change her outside garments; it was mainly her intimates.


    These were proper underthings that had better coverage. Jiang Yuning carried them outside and bumped into He Xin on the way.


    He Xins face froze when she saw what Jiang Yuning had in his hands. Yuning, why do you have to hang up such intimate clothing?


    Mind your own business. I enjoy it. Jiang Yuning shielded the pieces protectively; no one was allowed to look at Nian Xis intimates, only him.


    You cant spoil your woman too much. Im worried about you, He Xin said through clenched teeth.


    This is a small pleasure. You wouldnt understand. I dont want to talk to you. It was the first time Jiang Yuning felt as if he didnt belong in the same world as He Xin.


    He quickened his footsteps to the balcony to hang up the pieces. He was cheerful when he returned.


    He Xin was still standing there. He thought for a moment before saying, He Xin, you shouldnt be so dull and boring. It will be hard for you to find a boyfriend this way. Dont just toil in theboratory all day. You should get out there and date. Its nice.


    He returned to his room happily afterward without saying anything more.

 Chapter 1293. She Felt As If She Was A Tycoons Mistress

    Chapter 1293. She Felt As If She Was A Tycoon''s Mistress


    He Xins heart cried out as she watched him walk away.


    Who enjoyed spending their days in theboratory? She just wanted to spend time with him, to wait for him.


    In the bedroom, Nian Xi was wearing a moss green satin nightdress. She was stretched out gracefully on the bed. Her long ck tresses were flowing down her neck, the dress entuating her curves. Her cleavage was just slightly visible, as well.


    Jiang Yuning touched his nose and said softly, The dress that Uncle Han bought looks nice.


    Oh? Nian Xi frowned. I thought it looked a bit matronly; Uncle Han is on the older side of life. Im a pretty young girl. I should wear brighter colors like red and orange, something with zest and passion.


    Yes, yes. Jiang Yuning nodded his head quickly again. Uncle Han doesnt have good taste.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes, You justplimented the dress that he bought.


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips, My girlfriend is always right.


    Nian Xi was growingly pleased with him that night. He had shown remarkable progress after her teachings.


    Xixi, Im going to take a shower now.


    When Jiang Yuning finished, Nian Xi had changed her position. Now she was lying on her belly ying with her phone. Her legs were crossing each other, and her butt was perky. Jiang Yuning didnt even dare to take a second look.


    Xixi, do you want to eat something? asked Jiang Yuning, trying to please her.


    No, thanks. Im trying to lose weight tonight. Nian Xi shook her head.


    Youre not fat, Jiang Yuning said immediately. Id like you even if you were though.


    Nian Xi turned to him as she smiled, revealing her perfect white teeth. A womans body and figure are not just for men to admire. Its important to herself, too. I take pleasure in my body. You wouldnt understand.


    He didnt understand her. But Xixi was always right, and she had a good reason for believing what she believed in.


    Jiang Yuning stared at her phone; she was looking at clothes. Xixi, are your shopping online?


    Yeah, Im always too busy at work; the seasons are changing. I always feel as I have no pants or shoes. Its so annoying, Nian Xi sighed.


    Jiang Yuning turned and quietly retrieved his credit card from his wallet and handed it over to her. You can spend my money if you want to buy anything. You can save the card on your phone.


    Nian Xi looked at the card. She was stunned. No one had ever given her a credit card before other than her family.


    His thoughtfulness touched her.


    The surprise came so suddenly.


    Her boyfriend was so good to her.


    I dont think that would be nice, Nian Xi feigned disinterest and rejected his offer.


    Hmm, you can use this card instead. This one has more money on it. Jiang Yuning handed her a tinum card. Im always so busy at work. We hardly go on a few dates every month; I spend too little money on you. You can buy whatever you want from now on, food, entertainment, shopping.


    Nian Xi was happy; she felt as if she had struck gold.


    Okay, if you insist. Nian Xi promptly opened her e-wallet on her phone and saved his card.


    She was beginning to feel like a tycoons mistress.


    How much money do you have in there? Nian Xi asked. She wanted to pace herself.


    Im not sure. Jiang Yuning shook his head.


    Nian Xi was surprised. Didnt all rich people keep track of their savings in their bank ounts? Dont you have notification alerts?


    Have you forgotten? I never had a phone before? Jiang Yuning reminded her.


    How about your ie. Do you have a rough idea of your ie?


    Not sure, Jiang Yuning was still shaking his head. I dont use much money, usually. I save all the money I earn from my work on this card. My cousin is the one in charge of investing my money and managing my wealth.

 Chapter 1294. Brother, I Have Ten Thousand Dollars of Savings

    Chapter 1294. Brother, I Have Ten Thousand Dors of Savings


    Nian Xi frowned. You should manage your money yourself. How could you leave all your money to someone without ever checking in or asking about it?


    She had seen many people get into disputes about moneybrothers, even parents. No one was immune to money problems.


    Of course, she couldnt be as direct as she would have preferred. After all, they had only just started dating.


    Oh, okay. Jiang Yuning nodded his head obediently. Ill leave the money to you then.


    Ill call and ask how much money you have in here then. Nian Xi called the bank and keyed in the password.


    After waiting for a while, she was thunderstruck when she heard the number. Wo! She put her phone down and sat there in total shock, trying to gather her thoughts.


    Whats the matter? Is there no money left? Jiang Yuning was anxious as he watched her. Would he still be able to buy a house without any money?


    Nian Xi tapped him on the shoulder; she was quiet for a while before saying, There are billions in there. Tell me how on earth do you have so much money? Do you earn it from patents or research?


    They were both serving their country but in different ways. It was infuriating when shepared herself to him.


    Theres so much money? Jiang Yuning was surprised too. I didnt think Id earned so much.


    Nian Xi felt like crying. She was holding a precious card in her hands. She had never held anything so valuable in her life.


    I think you should call your cousin and check, Nian Xi suggested.


    Okay. Jiang Yuning nodded his head and turned to call Yuang. Brother, this is Yuning I have a lot of money on my card Oh I understand thank you.


    After he hung up, Jiang Yuning turned and said, My cousin said he invested my money in an overseaspany a few years ago. Thepany was listed publicly, and its stock rocketed. He told me that a portion of the money hadnt transferred over yet. Hes putting it into a bio-eco project. The profits will be high, but he says its going to take a while, at least a year.


    Nian Xi put her hand on her forehead, trying to steady herself. I didnt know you had such a capable cousin. I think you should continue leaving your money with him. Blood ties would never be broken, not even by money.


    I think so too. Jiang Yuning nodded his head.


    Oh, right. Whats your cousins name? I should be able to search for him online. Nian Xi was bursting with curiosity.


    Xuan Yuang.


    Nian Xi quickly searched him up on her phone; it was crazy.


    Although he was a young guy, he was already like Warren Buffett. The most shocking thing she read was that he earned his first pot of gold when he was still in university, and hes been a legend ever since. He was a superb financial investor.


    Your cousin is very impressive, Nian Xi stammered.


    Oh? I didnt know. Jiang Yuning turned to get the duvet from the closet.


    Nian Xi wiped her sweat. Why did you leave your money with him then if you didnt know that?


    My mother told me that my money is just sitting around doing nothing and that I should hand it over to him, Jiang Yuning said casually.


    Nian Xi sighed as she looked up at the ceiling. Shey there, fretful. Finally, she decided to call her brother. Brother, I have 10,000 dors in savings. Youre so good with investment banking, do you think you can turn my savings into a million dors?


    I cant. Nian Junting refused her without hesitation. Our family is wealthy. Do you need a million dors?


    I do, I do, I do. Nian Xi inhaled deeply several times.

 Chapter 1295. Youre feeling shy?

    Chapter 1295. You''re feeling shy?


    Youre getting on fine even if you do need the money. Keep your money. If it ends up with me, I might pocket everything when I turn it into a million dors, Nian Junting said coldly. Also, arent you embarrassed talking about 10,000 dors? You bring shame to the Nian family, so pathetic.


    Nian Xi,


    Her blood brother wasnt even half as good as someone elses cousin.


    She was frustrated. Whats the big deal? If you refuse to manage my money, I can ask someone else. Let me tell you, do you know who Xuan Yuang is? Im going to be his sister-inw.


    Silence. Nian Junting finally spoke after a while, Are you retarded?


    Haha! Why would I lie to you? Goodbye, this is thest time Ill ask you to manage my finances. I wont entertain the idea even if you beg me. Nian Xi abruptly hung up after her spitefulments.


    When she turned around, she found Jiang Yuning smiling as he stood beside the bed. Xixi, youve decided to marry me?


    Dont get ahead of yourself. I was trying to get back at my brother. Nian Xi covered her face with the duvet out of frustration.


    Jiang Yuning was disappointed. Xixi, you only have 10,000 dors in savings? Thats very little; you are so poor.


    Nian Xi was wholly torn down. She sat up angrily and huffed, So what? Im ambitious! I may be poor, but Im pretty!


    True. Jiang Yuning winced when she shouted at him.


    Nian Xi grunted andy back down on the bed. Things were quiet when she realized that Jiang Yuning hadin down on the floor beside her with the duvet. He was getting ready to sleep there.


    She quickly beckoned him and said, Come sleep with me. I came here not for you to sleep separately from me.


    Jiang Yuning patted the condom in his pocket subconsciously; he had nned to go to bed this way that night.


    He was a little nervous for some reason when she called out this way, but he was still quite happy and super excited.


    If youre not going toe up to sleep with me, Im going down there, Nian Xi giggled cheekily.


    Dont! Its cold down here. Jiang Yuning got on his feet immediately and said, Hold on, I have to use the bathroom.


    He lowered his head and walked over to the bathroom and retrieved the bottle of beer he hid in the cupboard earlier. He opened it and gulped the whole thing down. He hardly ever drank, and the beer tasted bitter and vile on his tongue.


    He instantly felt a surge of warmth, overwhelming his chest. Then he brushed his teeth and left the room.


    Come lie here. Nian Xi patted the bed and beckoned him.


    Jiang Yuningy down and felt the alcohol hit him. He was getting dizzy.


    Nian Xi didnt notice any of this; she started circling his body with her arms like an octopus. She rested her head on his chest and said, You dont want to sleep with me?


    No Jiang Yuning was feeling ufortable once she stered her body against his.


    Your face is so red. Nian Xi touched his cheeks. Youre feeling shy?


    Jiang Yuning tried to hide his face in the duvet.


    I think this is the first time were lying in the same bed together. Nian Xi enjoyed bullying him like this; she was grinning when she started unbuttoning his shirt one by one as she leaned forward and kissed him on his kips.


    Jiang Yuning was panting as she kissed him. His brain was getting hazy, Xixi, dont dont do this


    Dont do what? Nian Xi felt as if she was bing a female hooligan; it was exhrating for her as well.


    Jiang Yuning grunted; he was extremely ufortable. He couldnt take it anymore as he flipped her around and pressed down on her.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She stared into his eyes, his gaze burning with passion.

 Chapter 1296. Transformed From A Sweet Puppy Into A Wild Wolf?

    Chapter 1296. Transformed From A Sweet Puppy Into A Wild Wolf?


    Nian Xi was only going to tease him initially. It seemed like innocent fun.


    Now she was ying with fire. Things were heating up fast, and she had no desire to hit the pause button.


    This guy was getting more ballsy; he turned her over and gently pinned her down.


    Why did she feel as if he had just transformed from a docile puppy to a wild wolf?


    But, oh, what a wolf! She didnt dislike this transformation. On the contrary, she found it exhrating.


    She didnt believe he would do anything to her.


    What do you think youre doing? Nian Xi fluttered her long and thickshes and wrapped her arms around Jiang Yunings neck.


    Jiang Yuning nced at her slender and smooth arms. She was wearing a bejeweled bracelet thatplemented her bronzed skin very nicely. Her bracelet made her look even more dazzling than usual.


    She had just showered, and her body gave off the familiar scent of his shower gel. It was as fireworks were going off in his brain.


    He forced himself to look away, but his eyes rested on her half-exposed chest.


    Uncle Hans choice of a nightdress was incredibly sexy. Man, she was smokin hot in it!


    He could barely see thecy lingerie peeking from the neckline of the dress, her skin showing through the translucentce.


    He swallowed his saliva, and his eyes burned with passion.


    Nian Xi followed his gaze down to her chest as well and was suddenly aware that she was very exposed right now. Although her behavior was bold, she was still self-conscious of how her body looked.


    What are you looking at, you hooligan? She yfully red at him and quickly covered his eyes. Youre not allowed to look


    Suddenly, Jiang Yuning pulled her hands away, lowered his head, and nted a fervent kiss on her lips.


    She was taken by surprise. The man who was kissing her seemed like another person, not the same gentle, innocent, and mild-mannered guy she knew. His kisses were bold and audacious, provocative and very urgent as if he wanted to devour her.


    Was this still Jiang Yuning?


    She pushed him away with both hands, but his body was stiff and tense. His skin was scalding hot, too. Only then did she realize that something was wrong.


    Yuning, what are you Before Nian Xi could finish, he was already tearing her thin nightdress in two.


    Until now, Jiang Yuning had only fantasized about what she looked like in the sexy lingerie. Now, as he was taking in the sight of her, he felt almost suffocated by her beauty.


    How could anyone look this beautiful?


    If he had any bit of rationality left in him, it waspletely gone now.


    Nian Xi was about to go crazy too; it was the first time any man had seen her in such apromising state.


    Jiang Yuning, how dare you? Do you know who I am? I am your queen. Nian Xi was embarrassed and flustered.


    She knew she hade too close to the fires tantalizing mes. There was no going back. Now, she was frantically trying to dive into the duvet to cover herself, but Jiang Yuning was watching her like a predator eyeing a tasty morsel, and he was hungry all right. He pounced on her and kissed her all over, every spot that was exposed.


    His kisses left Nian Xi panting for air as her body turned to mush, and it felt soooo good. She wanted more.


    No wonder so many couples were into these sorts of things nowadays.


    So why didnt they do it?


    She thought to herself.


    Nian Xis thoughts were also racing by now. Times were different. She wasnt like her dad and brother, old fuddy-duddies. Who said she couldnt do anything before marriage?


    She wasnt getting any younger, either; she was curious about those things. Her body was ready.


    And Jiang Yuning was so hothis body, his face.


    Especially right now, with his forehead dripping sweat. The droplets were trickling down the sides of his red cheeks, and he looked like a male vixen.


    But as ready as she was for love, she couldnt entirely silence the voice in her head that said: dont. Despite all her teasing and bravado, she was ill-prepared. She never thought they would progress to this stage. She didnt even have a condom. What if she got pregnant?

 Chapter 1297. Did You... Take Something By Mistake?

    Chapter 1297. Did You... Take Something By Mistake?


    No, we cant, we cant. We dont have a condom. Nian Xi grabbed his hands forcefully.


    It was as if Jiang Yuning couldnt hear her; he buried his head even deeper. Nian Xi felt as if a million ants were crawling on her skin, it was extremely ticklish.


    She moaned from deep in her throat; she had to bite her lips to stop herself.


    Just as he was about to prate her defenses, she suddenly came to her senses. Jolted awake, she grabbed his arm and twisted it forcefully. In an instant, she was on top, and he was on the bottom, pinned down like a suspect.


    Xixi Jiang Yuning was still struggling beneath her, but he was no match since he didnt know any martial arts. After his futile attempts, he was dripping with sweat, and his throat was dry. I want it


    Nian Xi felt terrible for him as she watched him struggle beneath her. She looked over at the pair of handcuffs by the bedside dresser and rashly decided to handcuff him to the metal frame of the European-style bed.


    Xixi, let go of me. I cant handle this. Jiang Yuning was still struggling with all his might, causing the bulky bed to squeak and the headboard to bang against the wall.


    Nian Xi didnt expect to handcuff him, but she was feeling helpless. He was tied to the bed frame now, with his shirt half unbuttonedwhat a sight to behold. She could see his fair and wless skin. She had to admit it was a seductive sight. She couldnt help but swallow her saliva.


    Did you take something by mistake? NIan Xi was about to grab her robe to cover herself when she realized that her clothes, nightdress, and intimates were all torn to pieces.


    She blinked in disbelief; she had no choice but to wrap herself with the duvet. Are you the Jiang Yuning I know? Youre acting like a wolf now, do you know that? Have you forgotten the promise you made to my brother? Were you pretending to be a timid sheep this whole time?


    Red-faced and in obvious difort, Jiang Yuning couldnt take in her words. He was probably feeling so bad he was biting down on his lips and muttering under his breath, Yeah, I know I promised your brother, but I wanted you. I dont know what got into me.


    Nian Xi was blushing. She knew he was feeling the urge, and holding it back made him ufortable. She could see his body transform clearly in front of her.


    Although he looked weak and skinny, he had a remarkable package down there.


    It wasnt like this thest time she identally touched it.


    Nian Xi cleared her throat and stuttered, Its not that I dont want to its just that we dont have a condom. What if I get pregnant? As I told you before, I dont want to be pregnant before marriage.


    Jiang Yuning blinked. His foggy brain was trying to recall something. I have one in the pocket of my trousers.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She turned and started rummaging through his trousers immediately. There was indeed a condom there. She was beet red and ring at him. I would have never known. You said you were going to sleep on the floor, didnt you? But you already had this prepared. I know you were trying to y hard to get, but I didnt know that you were so cunning.


    No Jiang Yuning shook his head immediately. Uncle Han gave it to me


    Uncle Han is a sly one, said Nian Xi. She recalled the strange looks he gave her earlier that night. What else did Uncle Han do for you? Did he give you anything to take?


    No, no. Jiang Yuning shook his head vigorously. His body was so tense he had to lean against the headboard for support, and he was panting. I just drank a bottle of beer


    No wonder.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Where did you drink it? Howe I didnt see you?

    In the bathroom. Jiang Yuning was wriggling his body and begged, Xixi, let go of me; Im ufortable.


    Nian Xi finally understood everything now. No wonder he went to the bathroom earlier before he climbed into bed with her. Why did you take the alcohol? I cant believe you got like this after one bottle of beer. How bad is your alcohol tolerance exactly?


    Ive never drunk any before. Jiang Yuning sat up and panted after struggling for a good while.


    Nian Xi didnt know if she shouldugh or get angry as she watched him.


    She could tell he was feeling miserable, and she felt terrible for him too.


    It was so tempting to watch him like this.


    She finally understood why men got the urge to do something when they watched beautiful or hot girls.


    Nian Xi squatted in front of him with the duvet wrapped around her. She stared at him andughed, Do you want to?


    Xixi, stop tempting me. My head is spinning. Jiang Yuning looked up and stared at the ceiling above them.


    Nian Xi stared at his sexy Adams apple, clean lines, and fair skin; her brain was turning mushy too.


    She wasnt against the idea. Back when she was with Feng Jichuan, she had always wanted to save it for after marriage. Thats why she still never experienced it. Shed be lying if she said she wasnt curious.


    She wasnt getting any younger either, and there was no need to stick by the old traditions of a conservative society.


    Besides, living habits and dietary habits were soplicated nowadays that it made sense to experiment before marriage. It would be more troublesome if people found out they were ipatible afterward.


    Jiang Yuning was sincere and serious about her too. He looked so delicious and appealing: It wasnt a bad deal for her either. It was both their first time.


    Nowadays, it was so rare to find a virgin man.


    Nian Xi felt she had nothing to regret even if they didnt end up marrying each other.


    What was that expression? Youth is wasted on the young?


    She didnt want that to be the case. She wanted to have fun while she was still young. It the past, Feng Jichuan and Nian Junting had tried to hold her back.


    All right, Ill stop torturing you. We can give it a go. NIan Xi took a couple of deep breaths and put the condom on for him with her face burning hot.


    When she sat on top of him, it hurt her so badly. When she tried again, it was so painful she groaned in misery.


    Jiang Yuning was grumbling, too. He said in an unsatisfactory manner, Xixi, it hurts.


    Im the one in pain all right? NIan Xi was frustrated. Her face was pale now. Youre a man, whats so painful?


    Youre too rough, Jiang Yuning used her.


    It was the first time Nian Xi felt so discouraged; she felt like a failure.


    Thinking about the pain, she had no courage to try again. She covered her face with the duvet. Forget it. I have to stop; its too painful.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. He couldnt believe she would give up so easily. Nudging her with his foot, he said, Xixi, you cant be so irresponsible. Why dont you let me go? Let me run a cold shower.


    Nian Xi looked up in a daze for a while; his face was still flushed. She felt awful for him. After a while, she sat up and decided to finish him in another way.


    Ten minutester, Nian Xi was standing under the showerhead, and there was still a burning pain in her body.


    What a sticky situation it was when they were both so inexperienced.


    She didnt understand how people did it; she wished she could consult Sangsang.


    When she got out of the shower, Jiang Yuning was already fast asleep on the bed. His arms were exposed, and the handcuffs left marks on his fair skin. When she saw them, she felt guilty and quicklyy down beside him and hugged him from behind, drifting into sleep.


    Jiang Yuning turned around in the middle of the night and hugged her gently. He was smiling just slightly, and his expression was peaceful.

 Chapter 1299. Nian Xi Is Such a Wild Girl

    Chapter 1299. Nian Xi Is Such a Wild Girl


    Jiang Yuning always woke up on time.


    At 7:00 a.m., he opened his eyes to see a girl curled on his chest. He lowered his head, saw her fluffy hair, and half of her exposed shoulder.


    His brain froze for a second, then he sprung up from the bed.


    Nian Xi who hadnt yet woke up, slid off his body and moaned discontentedly. She then raised her head, red at him andined saying, What are you doing?


    I I Jiang Yuning didnt know what to say or do because he found himself without any clothes on. Why-why am I naked? Did you take off my clothes?


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said, Did that bottle of wine make you ckout? Did you forget that you got drunk and went crazyst night? You tore off my clothes and took off your own too.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned to hear that. After spending quite a while trying to calm down, he finally recalled some pieces fromst night. He blushed scarlet and buried his head in his arm with disbelief. He could not believe he did something like that. Uncle Han was such a liar.


    The beer did give him courage. It gave him the courage to have reckless sex.


    We we didnt do that, did we? he stuttered.


    Nian Xis cheeks instantly started burning. No! Its all your fault. Yours is toorge.


    Jiang Yuning felt so shy that he wished there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into. It wasnt up to me. I cant control that. Xi, it was my faultst night. I will never drink alcohol again.


    Nian Xi snorted and wrapped herself up with the quilt.


    Jiang Yuning spent a short while looking at her affectionately, moved toward her, then bent over and gave her a shallow kiss on the cheek. Xi, thank you. I feel so satisfied. Your hands must be tired


    Shut up. Nian Xi hurriedly covered his mouth.


    Jiang Yuning tittered shyly, then reached out, holding her like a little boy.


    The two of them held each other, staying quiet for a while. Abruptly, Nian Xi recalled her n fromst night. She almost forgot about it.


    She hurriedly got up, banged the headboard against the wall as hard as she could, then pinched her nose and yelled softly, Ning ning, oh, oh, youre so good Ning I cant take it anymore Ahhh


    Jiang Yuning gawked at her in shock. When he realized what she was doing, he hurriedly pulled her down and whispered to her, Xi, are you crazy? He Xin is next-door! Shell hear you!


    Maybe he was overthinking, but Nian Xi sounded like such a wild girl.


    I want her to hear it. Be quiet! We slept togetherst night. Now you have to listen to your girlfriend, Nian Xi said warning him.


    Jiang Yuning shut his mouth and helplessly watched Nian Xi make all sorts of sounds that made his cheeks burn and heart thump.


    Atst, he couldnt bear listening to her and hid in the bathroom.


    About 8:00 a.m., the two of them walked out of the room. Nian Xi had her head held high and chest puffed out, while Jiang Yuning followed behind her like a shy, newly married girl.


    In the living room, were tworge suitcases. He Xin was sitting at the dining table with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, looking pretty sallow. Uncle Han had made breakfast.


    As Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning came out of the bedroom, Uncle Hans eyes glowed. He Xin gripped her chopsticks; the tips of her fingers paled.


    Mr. Jiang, Miss Nian, you two are already up, said Uncle Han smilingly. I thought youd sleepte.


    Detecting the hidden meaning in Uncle Hans words, Jiang Yuning red at him.

 Chapter 1300. Please Call Me Baby Xi

    Chapter 1300. Please Call Me Baby Xi


    How dare he mention that. Ill never believe him again. Jiang Yuning looked at Uncle Han and thought he was a liar.


    Miss He, did you sleep wellst night? Nian Xi sat down beside He Xi and stretched.


    He Xins face looked so stiff that she seemed to have just had a failed hyaluronic acid injection.


    How could she possibly sleep well? She stayed in the room next to Jiang Yunings bedroomst night. The wall was pretty soundproof, but she still heard the headboard banging against the wall, and Jiang Yuning moaning from time to time.


    Last night she felt as if her heart was torn into two, and her blood was gushing out of her broken heart.


    She barely slept. At dawn, she finally started to fall asleep, but then she heard Nian Xis scream.


    She had never seen such a shameless woman in her life. How could she scream so loudly? It seemed like she wanted everybody to hear her.


    He Xin didnt have the heart to keep listening to the sounds that Nian Xi made, so she hurriedly came out of her room.


    Miss He, why dont you say anything? Nian Xi said with a smile. Are you feeling unwell? Is it because of the weather in Xia City? I noticed that youve already packed your suitcases. Arent you staying for a few more days?


    Jiang Yuning looked at Nian Xi bewildered. Yesterday, she seemed to want He Xin to leave immediately, but today, she asked her to stay. Why?


    Standing aside, Uncle Han gave a silent sigh. Miss Nian is so good at this, and shes so thick-skinned. Miss He is sly, but a thick-skinned girl like Miss Nian can crush her within a second.


    No, thank you. I need to go home to find out whats wrong with the robot. He Xin managed to squeeze a few words out of her throat.


    All right then. What a shame. When youe next time, Ill show you around. Dont bother to book a hotel room. You can just stay in our ce. While speaking, Nian Xi started peeling a boiled egg. Baby, open your mouth, let me feed you She put the peeled egg toward Jiang Yunings mouth.


    Uncle Han closed his eyes and took a sip of water. He couldnt bear to watch.


    Xi Jiang Yuning blushed hearing her call him baby.


    Please call me Baby Xi. Nian Xi corrected him with a soft and sweet voice. You are not allowed to reject any food that I put into your mouth.


    O-okay, Baby Xi. Jiang Yuning obediently opened his mouth. He was a little confused at the moment. From yesterday to this morning, Nian Xi had been changing constantly. He didnt know why, but he actually liked it.


    She wanted him to call her Baby Xi. That was so sweet.


    Baby, is it delicious? Nian Xi asked him smilingly.


    Yes, Baby Xi. Here, try this. Jiang Yuning hurriedly put a potato pie into her bowl.


    Watching the two of them feed each other, He Xin could not bear staying there for one more minute. She stood up and said, Its getting quitete. Im heading to the airport. Yuning, see you next time.


    All right, travel safely. Jiang Yuning nodded without even turning his eyes away from Nian Xi.


    He Xin almost copsed. She was leaving, yet he didnt even look at her.


    Uncle Han hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth and said, Ill drive you.


    Thank you. He Xin gave Jiang Yuning a long nce, then turned, dragging her two big suitcases toward the door.


    Uncle Han stepped up to help her.


    After the door closed, Nian Xi finished the milk and said, I gotta go too.


    You barely ate anything. Jiang Yuning didnt want her to leave. Eat more.


    Im good Yuning. Good boy, I need to work. I still have a case to solve. Nian Xi quickly stood up.


    Jiang Yuning paused with disappointment. Baby Xi, why did you call me by my name?


    She had called him baby before. It made him blush, but it sounded so intimate.


    Nian Xi blinked and asked him, Dont you know why I called you baby?


    Isnt it because I became your babyst night? Jiang Yuning said.

 Chapter 1301. After All, Youre Fond of My Man

    Chapter 1301. After All, You''re Fond of My Man


    Nian Xi was speechless for a moment.


    Yes,st night he had be her silly baby. Why was his EQ so low? Suddenly, she felt slightly sorry for He Xin.


    Youre right. Youre always right. Ill see you around baby, Nian Xi said to him, quickly walking toward the door. She might not be able to catch up with He Xin and give her thest strike if she wasted another minute.


    After she left, Jiang Yuning leaned against the door frame and tittered.


    Last night, his life changed thoroughly.


    He told himself that he would certainly take the responsibility for what happenedst night and that he would treat Nian Xi well.


    In the parking lot, Uncle Han put He Xins suitcases into the trunk.


    He Xin was standing by the car door in silence. She hadnt recovered from the shock caused by all that had happened. She never thought that so many things could happen in less than 24 hours.


    It was nothing she had expected.


    Miss He, were ready to leave, said Uncle Han. You know about Mr. Jiang. He hardly says goodbye to anyone.


    He was trying to let He Xin know that Jiang Yuning wouldnte to say goodbye to her.


    He Xin had known about that long ago, but she felt that Nian Xi was the reason why things had be even worse than before.


    At that moment, Nian Xi suddenly walked out of the elevator, which was not far away.


    Miss He, youre still here. Weve seen each other again. What a coincidence!


    Are you leaving already Miss Nian? He Xin looked behind Nian Xi. Jiang Yuning wasnt there.


    I need to work. Nian Xi turned toward Uncle Han and said with a smile, Uncle Han, get into the car. I want a minute alone with Miss He.


    Sure, Uncle Han said to Nian Xi. The look in his eyes was very weird. He would never believe it was a coincidence.


    It turned out that he hadpletely underestimated Miss Nians capability. She came down to the parking lot on purpose.


    After Uncle Han got into the car, He Xin turned to Nian X and said, Miss Nian, judging by how strongly you dont like me, I dont think theres anything for us to talk about. She could barely smile at the moment.


    Youre wrong. After all, youre fond of my man. Nian Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled.


    He Xins mouth corners twitched slightly. What are you talking about? Yuning and I are


    Dont tell me that you two are friends. I dont believe that. Nian Xi interrupted her. You dont even dare to admit that you like him, so all you can do is y some dirty tricks behind his back. To be honest, I despise people like you. Compete with me face to face if you can. Yuning is unsophisticated. He has no idea how you always yed little tricks to make him spend time with you, but Im not like him.


    He Xin was so angry that her face turned red. No one had ever talked to her like that. She had met some other girls who fancied Jiang Yuning before, but none of them was like Nian Xi. Stop this nonsense. Thats not true. The robot had a problem, so you think I nned that, right?


    I didnt say that. Nian Xi took out her handcuffs, fiddling with them saying, If I can prove it, Id have you arrested already. I dont care who you are. For some tricks, you can only y them once. If you ever try them again, you might regret it. Also, since you are a scientist, I think you should focus on your project. Learn from Yuning and be serious about your job. Youre so young. You dont want to ruin your future.


    Im not threatening you. Nian Xi continued with a frown saying, Im just trying to give you some advice. To be honest, I admire people like you. I admit that Im not as smart as you are, so please, cherish your smart brain. Ive caught many, many criminals, who are smart people. These days, a lot of people use their smart brains tomit crimes, but none of them get away with it.

 Chapter 1302. My Chest Has Been Aching These Days. Whos Gonna Be Responsible for My Body?

    Chapter 1302. My Chest Has Been Aching These Days. Who''s Gonna Be Responsible for My Body?


    He Xin clenched her teeth. Her cheeks burned when she heard what Nian Xi said.


    I hope you know whats the right thing to do. I, Nian Xi, am not a weak girl whom you think you can fool. Nian Xi finished talking, put the handcuffs back into the pocket of her trousers, turned and left, without looking back.


    She believed that He Xin wouldnt have the courage toe up with another dirty trick to try to win Jiang Yuning.


    He Xin stood there, frozen. A short whileter, Uncle Han showed up behind her and said, Miss He, let it go. Come on, lets go home.


    Uncle Han He Xin raised her head and looked at Uncle Han with red eyes. You know?


    Mr. Jiang is a simple-minded boy. Unlike him, I clearly know about your feelings for him. Uncle Han said, Mr. Jiang doesnt have the same feelings for you. Nothing would change even if you managed to make Miss Nian leave him. Besides, Miss Nian is a tough cookie. You dont want to hurt yourself in the end.


    He Xin sighed with a big smile.


    Perhaps, she was wrong. When facing a girl like Nian Xi, she honestly had no chance to win.


    Nian Xi arrived at the police station. Cheng Jing looked at her from head to toe, then whispered to her, You didnt go homest night. You didnt even change your clothes. Did you stay in Professor Jiangs ce for the night?


    Nian Xi wasnt really into fashion, but normally she changed her clothes every day. After she got together with Jiang Yuning, she even put on light makeup some times.


    No, I was at my brothers cest night. Nian Xi turned to drink some water, feeling slightly awkward.


    Oh, said Cheng Jing with disappointment. I thought you slept with Professor Jiang already.


    Nian Xi coughed, swallowed the water in her mouth with an effort, then red at her and said with a serious face, You married women are nasty.


    Its nothing. Were all adults. You guys will have sex sooner orter, right? Besides, you dont seem like an inexperienced person at all. Cheng Jingughed.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. It seemed that people had some big misunderstandings about her.


    Ive been so busy. How can I possibly be so experienced about that kind of thing? Nian Xi sighed. She was going to consult Cheng Jing about why the pration failedst night, but now, she couldnt ask her.


    Cheng Jing tittered. Professor Jiang seems innocent though. I guess youll be the one initiating the whole thing when that dayes.


    Nian Xi dropped her head, quietly drinking the water. Her mouth corners twitched.


    In the afternoon, she received a call from Jiang Yuning. Baby Xi, are you free tonight? I think I need to apologize to your brother in person.


    Are you sure? Nian Xi furrowed her brows. My brother has been pretty upset. He might be really mean to you.


    Hed hate me even more if I dont apologize to him, said Jiang Yuning with a low voice. I got my drivers license this morning.


    All right.


    Nian Xi wasnt surprised about how soon he had gotten his drivers license.


    After ending the call, Nian Xi called Nian Junting. Yuning wants to apologize to you tonight. Dont be too harsh to him. After all, he didnt mean it to happen.


    Hehe, he didnt mean it, so I have to forgive him? Not even thew says that. Nian Juntingughed coldly. My chest has been aching thest few days. Whos gonna be responsible for my body?


    What do you want? Nian Xi was suffering from a headache. After all, hes my boyfriend. Do you want us to break up? Do you want me to be single forever?


    Is he so good? Nian Juntingined. He gave you a crappy robot as a gift.


    He didnt make that robot. He was a victim too, said Nian Xi. His own work is rather reliable. Isnt Apples watch the best proof? Besides, if he didnt have that capability, would he be invited to an international conference of physics? How many people in our country can be invited to a grand conference like that?

 Chapter 1303. My Brother Might Really Like This

    Chapter 1303. My Brother Might Really Like This


    Nian Junting was agitated but didnt know how to argue with his little sister.


    He had no idea how Jiang Yuning enchanted Nian Xi so much to make her put in a good word for him even after he ruined her kitchen.


    Did his sister not remember who injured him?


    Once she married Jiang Yuning, his sister may not be on his side ever again. His wife was more reliable than she was.


    Whatever. He hung up angrily.


    At 6:00 p.m., Nian Xi got into Jiang Yunings Mercedes-Benz.


    It was the first time Nian Xi sat in his car. She had to admit that sitting in her boyfriends car felt amazing.


    The front seat was sofortable and exclusively belonged to her.


    Baby Xi, this is for you. With red cheeks, Jiang Yuning took a few paper bags from the backseat and handed them to Nian Xi. I went to the mall earlier this afternoon. I felt sorry for ripping your clothesst night, so I bought you a few new ones.


    Nian Xi was surprised. She never thought that hed buy her sleepwear. Afterst night, he seemed more mature than before.


    She hurriedly opened the bags, took the clothes out, and found them all a normal style. These are all a hundred percent cotton. Arent these too prudish?


    Shouldnt a boy buy his girlfriend sexy clothes like the ones she worest night?


    Eh-hem. Jiang Yuning slightly coughed and said, Xi, the ones you worest night were sexy indeed, but Im afraid those werentfortable enough. These cotton ones arefortable.


    Nian Xi felt speechless.


    She doubted any other boy would care so much about herfort as he did.


    Youre right. Nian Xi nodded, gave a wicked smile and said, But the ones I worest night were meant to be torn by you. Can you tear open these cotton ones?


    Once again, Jiang Yuning felt utterly awkward by her wildnguage. Xi,st night was an ident. I wont do it again, he said.


    But you looked sexy when you ripped off my clothes. Nian Xiughed. I was so attracted to you.


    Jiang Yuning started sweating. He wiped his forehead and changed the topic. Um Xi, I bought a small gift for your brother, because visiting him empty-handed seems inappropriate.


    Is it in that small box over there? Nian Xi raised her brows. She noticed the gift box long ago. What is it?


    I dont know. Uncle Han told me to give it to him. He said your brother will certainly like it, said Jiang Yuning.


    Uncle Han is such an old fox. Do you still trust him? Let me take a look. Nian Xi took the gift box over and opened it. She was stunned. In the box was a translucent, pink bathrobe, decorated with exquisite cherry blossoms.


    Wow! My brother might really like this.


    What is it? Jiang Yuning was curious.


    Nian Xi hurriedly closed the box and said, You dont need to know. Just give it straight to my brotherter.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning nodded obediently. His curiosity was instantly gone.


    Fifty minutester, the car was parked outside Tianhu Vi.


    Xiaosi excitedly ran over, barked, and made a circle around the car. As the car doors closed again, the dog dropped his tail and left with disappointment.


    Nian Xi clicked her tongue and said, I know Jiang-jiang isnt here, but how can he be so cold with me? Ive been nice to him.


    Whats wrong? Jiang Yuning didnt understand.


    Oh, you dont know yet, said Nian Xi. He and Jiang-jiang are sexual partners.


    Jiang Yuning did not know what to say.


    Luosang, who wasing out of the house, was stunned to hear what she said. She hadnt seen Nian Xi for a while. It turned out that the Nian Xis style of talking had grown wilder and wilder.

 Chapter 1304. Your Brother Is So Magnanimous

    Chapter 1304. Your Brother Is So Magnanimous


    Didnt she have fun ying with other dogsst time when we took her out for a walk? Jiang Yuning said with confusion.


    Nian Xi nodded andughed. Shes a ygirl. Thats why she kissed youst time. I wonder if Xiaosi will be jealous.


    Baby Xi Jiang Yuning felt embarrassed, so he gave her a soft re.


    Luosang clicked her tongue silently. He was calling her baby already. Their rtionship seemed to have gone to a new level.


    Wheres my brother? Nian Xi asked.


    In the babys room, ying with Apple. Luosang shrugged helplessly.


    Nian Xi understood that her brother was still upset.


    As Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning went into the house, Nian Junting still didnte out of the babys room. With no other choice, Nian Xi took Jiang Yuning to the babys room to see her brother.


    Apple was lying on the mattress. The little boy struggled hard but still couldnt turn over by himself. Nian Junting poked his little butt and said, Youre not Little Apple. Youre Little Dumbo. Youre so big already, but you still cant crawl. Why didnt you inherit any of my wisdom?


    Luosang red at him and said, Hes barely six-months-old. It would be amazing if he can roll over by himself. How can you make him crawl now? I dont think you were able to crawl when you were a six-month-old baby.


    I was certainly able to crawl when I was six-months-old. Nian Junting argued with her saying, My Grandma said that since I was a little baby, Ive been smarter and stronger than ny-nine percent of my peers.


    I dont believe your Grandma said that. Luosang gave a cold smile.


    Nian Xi snorted coldly and said, Im sure my Grandma didnt say that.


    Nian Juntings cold eyesnded on Nian Xi. All you can do is be mean to your big brother. If I didnt put down your robot that day, you might be lying in the hospital by now. Your apartment might have been gone.


    Brother, Im sorry. Jiang Yuning hurriedly made a step forward and apologized sincerely. This is a small gift as my apology.


    Its not another high-tech piece of yours, is it? I wont ept it, said Nian Junting coldly.


    Its not It was the first time Jiang Yuning experience something like this. After all, he had never offered anyone a gift before. He turned to Nian Xi, looking for help.


    Nian Xi took over the box, thrust it into Nian Juntings arms and said, He didnt invent this. Take a look at it and then decide if you want it or not. Ill bring it home with me if you dont want it.


    Nian Junting knitted his brows, opened the box and nced into it. He stared at what was in the box for more than ten seconds.


    What is it? Luosang moved to him, curious to see what was inside the box.


    Nian Junting immediately shut the box, proudly raised his chin and said, It is an ordinary gift indeed, but I feel your sincerity. Besides, my little sister really likes you. So, I think Im gonna take it.


    Nian Xi stayed silent.


    Hes as shameless as ever, she thought.


    Thank you, brother. Jiang Yuning was happy. Dont worry. About what happened earlier, I wont let it happen again.


    Nian Junting nodded, scooped Apple up, stood up and said to him seriously, Sometimes we cant rely too much on machines. After all, machines are cold and lifeless. They cant give your girl the care that she needs. What shell like more is you cooking for her with your own hands. It doesnt matter if your food tastes good or not, thats a way to express your love.


    Emm. Jiang Yuning nodded.


    If that kind of thing ever happened again, I would never let my sister be with you. Nian Junting continued ndly saying, But this time, I forgive you. Lets get out for dinner.


    At the dining table, Jiang Yuning said to Nian Xi, Your brother is so magnanimous. I caused him to get injured, but he forgave me after epting only a small gift from me. Xi, you alwaysined about your brother, but I think youre wrong.

 Chapter 1305. Am I Not Your Baby?

    Chapter 1305. Am I Not Your Baby?


    Nian Xi felt speechless; he was so gullible.


    Did he know what kind of gift he just gave to Nian Junting? Any man would like that gift, especially a man like Nian Xis brother.


    Luosang brought food out of the kitchen and saw Nian Juntinge downstairs after putting the gift in the bedroom.


    He seemed to be taking the gift quite seriously. She started to get curious about it.


    What did Jiang Yuning give you? You seem to be treasuring it so much, she asked Nian Junting once he came downstairs.


    Whos treasuring it? Nian Junting instantly denied it. Im just being polite. No matter what the gift is, Ive already epted it. I should not put it just randomly somewhere in front of the person who gave it to me, he said in a serious tone.


    Luosang blinked. If she remembered right, about half an hour ago, Nian Junting told her that he would never say a word to Jiang Yuning, nor ept any apology gift from him.


    Luosang knew her husband quite well. Jiang Yuning must have given him a gift that he actually liked.


    Its not a deer penis, is it?


    Nian Junting shambled, stared at her with red cheeks and said, Sangsang, why is your mind so dirty? Are you not satisfied with my sexual ability anymore? Do you want to do it every three hours?


    Luosang gave a start, then hurriedly shook her head and said, No, no, our current sex life is just perfect.


    Seriously, a little less might even be better.


    You can tell me any time if youre unsatisfied. Nian Junting gave her aplicated nce, then said, Lets go to dinner.


    Luosang looked at his back and sighed with relief.


    During dinner, Jiang Yuning attentively removed the shells of sea whelks, then put the whelk near Nian Xis mouth and said, Try this, Baby Xi.


    Em, you try it too, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning was a little disappointed. He put his mouth near her ear and said, I like the way you called me that this morning.


    Eh-hem. Nian Xi gave a cough, put some food in his mouth and said, Try this, baby.


    Pah! Nian Junting spit out his soup.


    Luosang also had trouble and had to spend a solid effort to swallow the food in her mouth. They couldnt bear listening to the conversation between Nian Xi and her boyfriend.


    Brother, dont spit out food while youre eating. Jiang Yuning handed Nian Junting a clean piece of tissue.


    Nian Junting took it awkwardly and wiped his mouth with it. After a short silence, he said with a deep voice, You two are adults. Why are you calling each other baby? Dont you find that disgusting?


    Jiang Yuning blinked and said, No. Because she is my baby, and Im hers.


    After saying that, he dropped his head and continued removing sea whelk shells for Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi red at Nian Junting and said, Luosang calls you Tingting. Dont you find that disgusting?


    Nian Junting opened his mouth, but Luosang didnt give him the chance to speak. All right, she said. Many young couples who really love each other call each other baby these days. Thats just normal. Dont make it a big deal.


    Nian Junting didnt agree with her.


    After dinner, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning sat together in the living room, eating fruit and watching TV. Luosang stayed in the dining room, feeding Apple a puree.


    Nian Junting sat down beside her and said, We really love each other. Why did you never call me baby? Am I not your baby?


    Luosang scornfully snorted in her head. He said that it was disgusting, but he was jealous of Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning.


    Luosang raised her head, looked at him and said, Baby Ting.


    Nian Junting put a hand on his forehead and said, Stop it. I feel sick. I want to throw up.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. He was such a drama queen.


    A man like me just cant live with that. Nian Junting sighed. I now know that Im your baby. You dont need to call me that.


    Luosang stayed silent.


    Damn. He wanted her to call him that, didnt he?

 Chapter 1306. Baby Xi, I Suddenly Want to Be a Daddy Too

    Chapter 1306. Baby Xi, I Suddenly Want to Be a Daddy Too


    Luosang hurriedly fed Apple, then brought the baby to y with Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi held the baby for a while, then Jiang Yuning took him over. He put the baby boy on his knees. The baby babbled to him, and he quickly nodded, as if he could understand the baby.


    Mr. Jiang is going to be a good father. Hes patient, Luosang said with a smile.


    He is probably the most patient person in the world. Nian Xi sighed.


    At that moment, Jiang Yuning abruptly turned to look at Nian Xi with his ck and shiny eyes, and said to her, Baby Xi, I suddenly want to be a daddy too.


    Luosang nced at Nian Xi with a faint smile. Nian Xi felt a little awkward. Before she said anything, Nian Juntings voice was heard from behind, Are you having some inappropriate thoughts about my sister? What do you want to do to Nian Xi? Forget about it. Dont forget what you promised me.


    Thats not what I mean. I just found that babies are so cute. I want one too, Jiang Yuning said innocently. However, recalling what happenedst night, he did feel slightly guilty. He nearly broke his promise.


    Have you forgotten what youve done to me? Luosang said with a frosty voice. Did I forgive you too soon?


    There was a cold war between Nian Junting and Luosang earlier because he had sex with Luosang before marrying her.


    Nian Junting didnt have the guts to continue the conversation. He hurriedly turned and walked outside saying, Im going to the backyard to feed Xiaosi.


    Nian Xiughed and said to Luosang, Youre amazing. My brother has yielded to you.


    Luosang looked at her helplessly. She was wrong.


    As Jiang Yuning was having fun ying with Apple, Nian Xi looked around, then quietly moved close to Luosang and whispered to her, Sangsang, I have a question. How did you and my brotherplete your first time? My brother was inexperienced, wasnt he?


    Eh-hem-hem. Luosang who was having some fruit and almost choked. As she managed to breathe again, her cheeks reddened.


    Dont be shy. Youre a married woman already. Nian Xi was a little shy as well.


    Luosang took a sip of the tea. She felt as if her brain was burning. She could never think that one day she would have to teach her sister-inw that kind of thing. Her sister-inw was actually older than her. Eh your brother wasnt unexperienced when we did it. He was quite experienced, she said.


    No way, Nian Xi whispered with surprise. Does he have other ex-girlfriends? As far as I know, he and Shuangwei never did it.


    Thats not what I mean said Luosang with a dry voice. For a very long time, we often slept together. We were familiar with each others bodies. Do you understand?


    Her sister-inw was pretty smart, so Luosang assumed that she would understand. She didnt need to make it more straightforward, did she? After all, she wasnt as thick-skinned as Nian Xi and her brother.


    Nian Xi blinked. A short whileter, she nodded and tittered. Oh, I get it. So we should sleep together more to make ourselves fully prepared, right?


    Yes Luosang nodded. She nced at Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning, then thought of Nian Xis character, so she added, For the first time, its better to let the man lead. You shouldnt be too wild.


    Dont worry. Im not that kind of girl. Even the thick-skinned Nian Xi blushed.


    Luosang stayed silent. She honestly didnt believe it.


    Isnt your brother forbidding you to do it before getting married? Luosang couldnt help but say to Nian Xi, Hed be so angry if he knew.

 Chapter 1307. Come to My Place for the Night

    Chapter 1307. Come to My ce for the Night


    I kinda want to do it with him, so please, dont tell my brother about it, said Nian Xi seriously.


    Luosang didnt know what to say. Again, she was shocked.


    Nian Junting would probably die of anger if he knew his little sister was thinking about sleeping with Jiang Yuning.


    Sangsang, you may not understand. Seeing the struggling look on Luosangs face, Nian Xi smiled and said, You see, its like Im looking at a juicy and delicious flower every single day. Its like a snowdrop from a snowy mountain. I want to touch it so much. Didnt you find my brother super-hot before? His body has that perfect shape, doesnt it? Didnt you ever have those kinds of thoughts about him?


    I dont remember. Luosang shook her head.


    She did understand Nian Xi though. Jiang Yuning was such a pure and innocent boy. His eyes were like the eyes of a newborn deer. A wild girl like Nian Xi would certainly be tempted by him.


    Nian Xi used another metaphor. Hmm its also like how sometimes my brother makes you so angry that you want to punch him in the face. Do you understand?


    This time, Luosang stopped short, nodded and said, Anyway, as a girl, you shouldnt forget about birth control. Besides, you havent been together for long. I suggest that you first enjoy being in the rtionship. You can get married next year. It wont be toote. After all, you wont be so free after you get married.


    Nian Xi chuckled. I guess your freedom has been highly limited since you married my brother.


    There is a good side though. Luosang gave a bitter smile.


    Anyway, dont tell my brother about what I said to you tonight, Nian Xi said.


    Luosang nodded. After a short hesitation, she added, Just explore with him. Thats a mans instinct. You guys will learn it slowly and naturally.


    Thank you teache. Nian Xi was truly grateful.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning stayed at Nian Juntings ce until 8:30 p.m. On their way back, Nian Xi said to Jiang Yuning, Come to my ce for the night. You can go home tomorrow morning.


    Jiang Yuning was at a red light. He was going to stop the car, but hearing Nian Xis words, he forgot to rx the elerator and drove straight through.


    You went through a red light, Nian Xi said to him.


    Jiang Yuning gave a start, then hurriedly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car in the middle of the road. The cars that came from the other side were all forced to stop as well.


    He panicked.


    Why did you stop right in the middle of the road? Youve already gone through the red light. Just move. Nian Xi was nearly going crazy.


    Jiang Yuning started to sweat. In a flurry, he finally drove the car to the roadside and pulled over. What should I do? I went through a red light on my first day holding a drivers license. Will they revoke my license? His face was pale.


    No. Worst case scenario, theyll take a few points off your license. Seeing how frustrated the boy was, Nian Xi regretted bringing up the conversation while he was driving.


    Jiang Yuning dropped his head, feeling upset. A short whileter, he said, Xi, I dont want what happenedst night to happen again.


    Im just worried that you might get lost driving home alone. Nian Xi shrugged and said, Never mind. Just forget it if you dont want to spend the night.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. For some reason, he was suddenly so disappointed. Why didnt Nian Xi say something more to try to change his mind? Couldnt she tell that he was struggling?


    Why are you looking at me? Nian Xi asked him.


    N-nothing. With disappointment, Jiang Yuning re-started the car.


    A short whileter, he parked the car in front of Nian Xis apartment. Nian Xi unfastened her seatbelt and said, Ive already set up the GPS navigation for you. Just follow it. Youll get home safely.

 Chapter 1308. Thats Probably the Power of Love

    Chapter 1308. That''s Probably the Power of Love


    Jiang Yuning sat in the darkness, stayed silent.


    Nian Xi leaned toward him to kiss him. He hurriedly, tremblingly put his arms around her.


    Her body was as soft as it wasst night. They kissed each other so deeply. When Jiang Yuning almost lost himself in that kiss, Nian Xi pushed him away, gasped and said, Im going home, Baby. Be careful. Text me when you got home.


    Xi Jiang Yuning fixed his eyes on her. He hated to part with her.


    Goodnight, Nian Xi picked up her bag, got off the car and left.


    Watching her disappear from his sight, Jiang Yuning felt extremely perturbed.


    He sat in the car alone, until Uncle Han called him, Mr. Jiang, when will youe back? Are you lost? Do you need me to pick you up?


    I dont want to go home, said Jiang Yuning with a low voice, I dont want to.


    Whats wrong? Uncle Han immediately asked him, Youre not having another fight with Miss. Nian, are you?


    No I want to stay at Nian Xis ce for the night, Jiang Yuning sounded frustrated.


    Stay there then, said Uncle Han.


    Jiang Yuning paused for a few seconds, then had his eyes glow.


    He ended the call with Uncle Han and called Nian Xi right away.


    Are you home already? Nian Xi chuckled.


    No, Xi, I got lost. GPS cant help me to find my home, so I came back to your apartment, said Jiang Yuning, sounding upset, Can I stay at your ce tonight?


    But, didnt you say that you dont want what happenedst night to happen again? Nian Xiughed.


    I can sleep in your guest room, Jiang Yuning said hurriedly.


    Alright. Ill take you in. Do you need me toe downstairs to get you? Nian Xi asked.


    No, no, Ill go up myself, Jiang Yuning hurriedly got off the car.


    Nian Xi opened the door before he knocked. She just had a shower. Leaning against the doorframe, she said to him with a faint smile, Didnt I set up GPS for you? Why were you lost anyway? Where did you get lost?


    I dont remember, Jiang Yuning wasnt expecting her to ask that question. As someone who had never told a lie before, he panicked.


    You were lost, so, how did you find my apartment? Nian Xi tittered.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, scratched the back of his head, stuttered, It-it might be the power of love.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but burst inughter.


    That was a perfect excuse.


    Xi Jiang Yuning felt utterly embarrassed.


    Alright,e in, Nian Xi spared the boy.


    Jiang Yuning sighed with relief.


    Ten pm, Jiang Yuning tossed and turned on the bed, couldnt fall asleep.


    Afterst night, he found himself unable to sleep without holding Nian Xi in his arms.


    It was just one night, but he seemed to be addicted already.


    What could he do? He asked to sleep in the guest room.


    He struggled for an hour, then couldnt help but get up and knocked on Nian Xis bedroom door.


    Come in, Nian Xis voice was heard.


    He opened the door and went in. Nian Xi was still up, sitting on the bed, spending time with her tabletputer. Why arent you sleeping? she said to him.


    I cant sleep, Jiang Yuning murmured, Its so dark in your guest room. Im scared.


    Nian Xi didnt know what to say. Couldnt hee up with a better excuse?


    You slept in that room before, didnt you? She tried not tough out loud, said, Why werent you scared back then?


    I I am cowardly now, Jiang Yuning dropped his head so deep that his chin almost touched his chest.


    Nian Xi stepped on the carpet, walked up to him with bare feet, said to him straightforwardly, I think it would be better if you were honest with me and told me that you wanted toe here because you couldnt sleep without me.

 Chapter 1309. Me too, Ive Been Waiting For You All Along

    Chapter 1309. Me too, I''ve Been Waiting For You All Along


    Jiang Yuning blushed after she called him out so directly.


    He was like a kindergartener who got caught in a lie. He just had to fess up, Xixi, I was tossing and turning in bed just now. Im not used to sleeping without you by my side. I want to hug you to sleep.


    Me too. Ive been waiting for you. Nian Xi gave him a smile that melted Jiang Yunings heart.


    buurrr. buurrr. Nian Xi was in the middle of a dream when her phone rang. It was dusk.


    She turned and covered her ears with the nket in annoyance.


    Jiang Yuning quickly climbed out of bed to take the call, worried it might disturb her. He heard Luosangs hoarse voice on the other end. Nian Xi, how could you do this to me? What were you thinking, giving your brother a gift like that? Im being tortured to death over here.


    What did she give you? Jiang Yuning asked her a hushed tone.


    Howe its you? Luosang had trouble stuttering out thest words. She was inplete shock. She had to give it up to Nian Xi. She had only just given her advice yesterday, and she already managed to seduce the guy into bed with her that night. She was remarkable.


    Xixi is still sleeping. Jiang Yuning whispered. I dont want to disturb her.


    Luosang took a moment as she took in his gentle, sweet voice. She was at a loss for words. Never mind. Goodbye.


    Goodbye.


    Luosang put her phone down when suddenly Nian Junting appeared from behind, freshly showered. He hugged her tightly. Werent you going to make a fuss? Howe you ended the call with Nian Xi so quickly?


    Luosang was holding back a knowing smile. She wanted to tell him about Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning sleeping together. Seeing his smug demeanor at the moment, she was curious to see his reaction when he found out his sister had been sleeping with Jiang Yuning. Hed go ballistic.


    Forget it she said softly andy down again.


    Nian Junting affectionately kissed her cheeks. I knew you liked it, too; you just didnt want to admit it.


    Luosang covered her head with her nket right away.


    She decided to give Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning the same thing when they got married.


    Four monthster.


    Germany, Berlin.


    Yan Su awoke to the sound of sobbing. She opened her eyes feebly and saw Jiang Peiying walking toward her with an infant. Shes awake, dont move. Yan Yan is fine. She weighs 3.2kg.


    Yan Yan? Yan Su was stunned.


    Yeah, I named her. Jiang Peiying smiled. Your father wanted to name her Yan Li, but I didnt think it would be a good name for a baby girl.


    Yan Su was a little surprised.


    Mo Liuxis surname was Mo. If he were to acknowledge the baby in the future and ask for her to be named after him, she would be called Mo Yan.


    She shuddered in fear. She would NEVER bring the baby to him.


    This was her baby, HER baby. She had carried her for ten long months.


    She never knew how difficult and harrowing it was until she gave birth herself.


    Whats wrong? Why the expression? Jiang Peiying frowned. You dont like the name your mother picked? Yan Yan is such a pretty name.


    Its nice, its nice. Yan Su quickly nodded her head. Her mother was always right. Ma, can I see the baby?


    Sure. Jiang Peiying quickly brought Yan Yan out.


    Yan Jin walked over, all excited, too. Ma, I want to see my baby niece.


    Yan Su looked at the little boy at the other end of the bed and wanted tough. He was a very enthusiastic little uncle.

 Chapter 1310. What Ill-Fate Did She Have With These Two Men?

    Chapter 1310. What Ill-Fate Did She Have With These Two Men?


    Jiang Peiying was amused, too. Havent you been looking at her all this time?


    Not enough. Yan Jin pouted.


    Let your sister have a look first. Jiang Peiying ced the delicate infant in Yan Sus arms.


    It was the first time she had held a baby, and her hands were shaking. When peering into the infants delicate face, which was the size of her palm, she felt as if she was in a dream.


    She was a mother now.


    She never imagined she would be a mother at this age.


    The baby had rosy cheeks and delicate, exquisite features, but Yan Su saw no resemnce to herself.


    Jiang Peiying remarked, They say that little girls look like their dad, thank goodness The man you were with that drunken night isnt too bad looking. Look at how pretty Yan Yan is, am I right?


    She looked over at Yan Su meaningfully.


    Yan Su felt a little awkward.


    You are my daughter. I know you would never be with an ugly man no matter how drunk you were, Jiang Peiying said casually. Shi Xiang was quite good looking too.


    Ma, Im not so superficial, Yan Su insisted. I think a mans character is far more important than his appearance.


    As long as you know that. Jiang Peiying nodded her head. Thank goodness we moved our trip to Germany ahead by a few weeks. I didnt expect you to go intobor at 38 weeks, which is still considered full term.


    Yan Su was warmed andforted. She was grateful her parents were around when her water burst. If she had been all alone in a foreign country, she wasnt sure if she would have made it to the hospital on her own.


    I dont think anyone saw me giving birth here, right? Yan Su asked tentatively.


    Dont worry. This is a private hospital. There arent many Chinese nationals here, and your dad put in a special request with the hospital director that we should be able to keep things under wraps, Jiang Peiying said.


    After three days in the hospital, Yan Su returned to where her parents were staying in Germany.


    Xiang Wan took a flight over on the fourth day. After stuffing a red packet to Yan Su, she looked at her and said, Thank goodness you only put on a little bit of weight on your face. We can easily say that you were fed well while you were doing your apprenticeship in the US.


    Yan Su smiled. Thank you, Sister Xiang. Things must have been tough on you recently. You can arrange work for me once I finish my confinement.


    What about your baby? asked Xiang Wan gently.


    Yan Su looked sad all of a sudden. Her baby was the most important thing in the world to her now, of course. I cant bear to be away from her, but I have to earn money to support her. I want to provide the best care for her, and I dont want to rely on my parents.


    Thats good then, a good goal to strive toward, Xiang Wan sighed. Its not a bad thing to have a baby this early. Director Lis movie wrapped about half a year ago; theyre nning to release the movie around Christmastime and are doing their publicity in the next couple of months. The crew has already contacted me a few times. Theyre generating a lot of buzz. You can use this as an opportunity for aeback.


    Director Lis movie? Yan Su was stunned. Her expression was a little awkward.


    Mo Liuxi and Shi Xiang were involved in Directors Li movie? Did this mean she would be running into them again?


    What ill-fate did she have with these two men? It would be awkward seeing other each. Can I skip this?


    Shi Xiang still bothers you? Frowning, Xiang Wan asked, Frankly, theres still a lot of rumors about you and Shi Xiang. I wasnt keen on you sharing the stage with him again, but theres no choice. When you signed the contract to take on Director Lis movie, it included yourmitment to their publicity efforts. Youre a neer. It wouldnt look good if you went against the uses in the contract. Who would ask you to sing their main soundtrack in the future if you did?

 Chapter 1311. The Return

    Chapter 1311. The Return


    Yan Su sighed.


    Shi Xiang was less bothersome. It was Mo Liuxi she couldnt bear to see or be around.


    If she bumped into him now, it would be like adding salt on her fresh wounds.


    Another thing Xiang Wan said. Director Li said the movie had been nominated for an award at the Venice Film Festival, so youll be going to Venice as well. Its a great opportunity. Many would kill to be in your shoes. I dont know how you got so lucky to have thisnd in yourp so soon after giving birth.


    Oh? Yan Su was shocked. Howe I havent seen anything about this in the news?


    Insider information. The reporters havent heard about it yet. Xiang Wan smiled and continued, But I have to say youre one lucky girl. The red carpet at these sorts of events is always highly recognized, and there will be lots of reporters there. I have to give it to Director Li, and Mo Liuxi that young man is only 21 years old.


    Yan Su was awash withplicated feelings at the mere mention of his name.


    She was bitter, yes. But she was helpless, too. She pouted and said, I dont think Mo Liuxi yed a big part in being nominated at the film festival. Hes not even the co-director


    Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. Director Lis team isposed of elites. Do you think he could have wrapped up a film within months and end up getting nominated at such a prestigious event? It just proves he has a team of highly efficient workers who produce quality work. He couldnt have done it on his own. Besides, Mo Liuxi won numerous awards for his work previously; the public isnt easily fooled. There are a lot of producers waiting to work with him. Its only a matter of time before he gains traction and more recognition.


    Yan Su sighed.


    What a remarkable guy. She would have been very happy for his sess if they were still together.


    Too bad


    The two of them hated each other now.


    Xiang Wan patted her on the shoulder. Take your time to recuperate during your confinement. Ill be waiting eagerly for your triumphant return.


    Yan Su tried to hold back her chuckles.


    Was that how you would describe a triumphant return?


    Late that night, Yan Su managed to get Yan Yan to sleep.


    She was sitting on the edge of her bed, watching her baby with concentration. She was like a porcin doll, with wless skin and beautiful little features.


    She even had dimples and looked especially sweet whenever she gurgled.


    Tears welled up in Yan Sus eyes at the thought of having to go back to work.


    Yan Yan is asleep? Jiang Peiying tiptoed into the room.


    Yeah. Yan Su quickly lowered her head and wiped away her tears.


    Jiang Peiying sighed and sat down beside her and said, You cant bear to be away from Yan Yan?


    Yan Su was silent.


    Susu, your father and I have been talking this for thest few days. How would you feel about walking away from the entertainment industry? Jiang Peiying lowered her voice. I know you want to earn money, but were doing all right. We can afford to raise this child and provide good enough conditions


    Ma, I have to stay strong, Yan Su looked up at her. Ive already gotten my university degree. I want to make good use of it. Besides, I have no skills other than singing. It wouldnt be easy to pick up something new. I dont want to live off of your guys, either. Ive brought too much shame to both of you. I want to be your pride and joy.


    Jiang Peiying finally nodded her head after thinking a long while. All right. Well bring Yan Yan back to our old ce. Ill take care of her, along with Aunty Wu. Jin loves her as well. When shes a little older, Ill ask Aunty Wu to bring her to you to stay together.


    Yan Su couldnt say a word. She hugged her mother tightly.


    It was October, and the air in Xia City was still hot and humid.


    Yan Su took a flight back to Xia City, and Jiaojiao picked her up in her car. Susu, wee back.


    Its been a long time. Yan Su stepped forward and gave her a big hug. Are you still willing toe back as my assistant? she asked.

 Chapter 1312. Senior Yan is Going to Have A Comeback

    Chapter 1312. Senior Yan is Going to Have A Comeback


    Smiling, Jiaojiao said, Sister Xiang arranged for me to do random tasks for Chu Qianqian while you were gone. Did you know about her hot fiery temper? Youre the best, the easiest to get along with.


    Yan Su felt guilty. Chu Qianqian had always been jealous of the resources provided to me while I was still around. Naturally, she wouldnt treat you well. Youve worked for me before, after all. Shes a petty person. Tell me the truth, what else did she make you do?


    Tears were welling in Jiaojiaos eyes now. She nodded her head and said, She took out her temper on me and alwaysshed out when she was in a foul mood as if I were a lump of dirt. Thank goodness I knew you wereing back. Shes not half as good as you anyway. Sister Xiang knows that too.


    I wont leave again. Yan Su patted her on her shoulders.


    Jiaojiao looked at her and smiled, You look more mature now.


    Yan Su was stunned. She thought about how ironic the situation was. No doubt, she was more mature now after all that had happened.


    Jiaojiao drove her straight to Waterbay.


    Speaking of Waterbay, it was where Yan Su had bought a house before she left Xia City. Although she hadnt been working long, she had made a decent amount of money for her to afford an apartment here.


    She never thought much about being a homeowner, but now that she was a mother, she had to consider such things.


    The penthouse apartment had four rooms and two living rooms. Xiang Wan had arranged for the renovations to be done long ago. There was also a recording studio and a nursery.


    Take the day off. You can start working officially tomorrow, Jiaojiao handed her the schedule.


    Yan Su nced at it. It was going to be a busy year. She would participate in a singingpetition in November and head over to Venice for the film festival at the end of October.


    Jiaojiao looked at her as she stared at the October section and said, I asked around. Both Shi Xiang and Mo Liuxi will be here this time. You have to hang in there.


    Its all past tense. I can handle it just fine, Yan Su said casually as she stared at the piece of paper.


    Jiaojiao sincerely hoped Yan Su had moved on.


    At Xia City University.


    A basketball match was about to start; Mo Liuxi was warming up at the benches.


    Outside the court, a bunch of girls was screaming and cheering him on fanatically.


    Zhang Hongchuan grumbled, Why do they treat the rest of us like chopped liver? These girls only cheer for you.


    Mo Liuxi ignored his remark and picked up a bottle of water and gulped it down.


    Zhang Hongchuan continued, There are many cute juniors this year, but none of them are outstanding or special. After your sister and Senior Yan graduated, we dont have such girls in our school anymore, sigh


    Before he could finish sighing, Mo Liuxi shot him an icy look. He had to swallow his words. Oh right, have you seen the news? Senior Yan is going to have aeback. She was in the States for six months to further her studies. She looks even more beautiful now


    Mo Liuxi tossed his bottle into the recycling bin without saying a word. He stared at the container for a while before mumbling indifferently, I think she looks uglier than before.


    Was this what they meant by love bears hate?


    You dont have to be so mean, Zhang Hongchuan said. Its normal to break up and all in university. Youll bump into one another for sure at the Venice Film Festival. Hey, you might even get back together


    Mo Liuxis expression was glum. We will never get back together. Ive long forgotten about this woman.


    He walked straight onto the court after saying that.


    Zhang Hongchuan scoffed, if he had genuinely forgotten about her, why did he get all prickly when I mentioned her name?


    September came and went. Now it was the end of October.


    It was evening, and Mo Jin was lying on the couch while Xu Zhengxuan gave her a massage.


    After a while, Mo Jin could sense something was up. She grabbed Xu Zhengxuans wrist and said, What do you think youre doing with your hands?

 Chapter 1313. He was Doing Fine, and Looking More Handsome

    Chapter 1313. He was Doing Fine, and Looking More Handsome


    My hands slipped by ident. Xu Zhengxuan was moaning in pain when she grabbed his wrist.


    Mo Jin threw a pillow in his face; guys were shameless, whatever their age.


    At that very moment, Mo Liuxi came in carrying several shopping bags.


    Mo Jin finally let go of Xu Zhengxuan and walked over to him. Whats in the bags? Clothes?


    Yeah. Mo Liuxi was changing out of his shoes. Im flying to Italy for Mn Fashion Week.


    Why dont you just shop in Mn? Mo Jin asked. Mens fashions are a lot nicer there. Youre going to the film festival, arent you? You should wear thetest designs. Thepany isnt sponsoring anything?


    The sponsored clothes were sent to Italy. I need an airport outfit for tomorrow, said Mo Liuxi casually.


    Xu Zhengxuan gave him a look and said, You bought so much just for tomorrow? Is that really necessary?


    Yes. Mo Liuxi brought his purchases upstairs.


    After a while, he asked for Mo Jins opinion, What do you think about this suit?


    Its okay. Mo Jins expression was a bit weird now too.


    After trying on a dozen outfits or so, he asked again, Which ones do you think look best on me?


    Mo Jin was trying to suppress a giggle. It was the first time shed seen him so preupied with his appearance. Hed never been particrly concerned about his style or clothes before. Are you meeting someone important tomorrow?


    No.


    Someone who abandoned you


    Mo Liuxi was tight-lipped. Grimacing, he said, Dont spout nonsense. I just heard there are going to be a lot of reporters at the airport.


    Go for the army green one then, Mo Jin said casually. She couldnt be bothered to expose him. Her son was a grown man. It was normal for him to act this way in front of someone he liked.


    Mo Liuxi picked up the army green set and looked at himself in the mirror, nodding approvingly. Yeah. The outfits bangin.


    He knew he would probably be seeing Yan Su again the next day. Although he had no ns of reconciling with her, not ever, he had to let her know he was doing fine without her. And he was even better looking now, too.


    He was going to let her know shed made a grave mistake, the stupidest decision of her life.


    As for Shi Xiang, he had to outshine him in every way and at every moment.


    Mo Jin stared at her son from the side. She noticed his expression turning darker and felt a little intimidated by this.


    Ten oclock at the airport.


    Mo Liuxi met up with Li Ming after crossing the checkpoint.


    The VIP lounge was filled with people from the production team. A bunch of them had worked hard for four months shooting the film. Naturally, they had all gotten a lot closer after spending so much time together.


    Everyone was thrilled to be going to Venice for five days.


    When Mo Liuxi sauntered into the lounge, everyone was eager to greet him. The co-director, Lu Tao, said teasingly, Great outfit. I get it that you want to look good. We dont mind but give some consideration to the male actors. Youre stealing their thunder.


    I thought you said to dress formally? Mo Liuxi looked around the table and asked casually, Not everyone is here yet, right? Wheres Ji Nuanyi and Shi Xiang? Theyre the A-list celebrities. Im sure they have a busy schedule, Lu Tao said. Well be heading over first. Theyll meet us in Venice tomorrow.


    Mo Liuxi scowled.


    Lu Tao felt a chill run down his spine. He couldnt help but recall the various unpleasant incidents between Mo Liuxi and Shi Xiang during filming.


    Lu,e on. Lets get ready to board. Li Ming walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

 Chapter 1314. It Was So Familiar to Her It Made Her Heart Pound

    Chapter 1314. It Was So Familiar to Her It Made Her Heart Pound


    Lu Tao turned to his luggage.


    Li Ming raised his brows and said, Youre dressed so well. Is this all for Yan Su?


    Mo Liuxi turned and looked at him aloofly. Dont talk nonsense. I look okay in anything. It has nothing to do with Yan Su. She and I are through.


    Thats good, Li Ming nodded his head. By the way, shell be at the hotel tonight. Shes currently attending an event in Xiamen.


    Why are you telling me this? Im not in the least bit interested in what shes doing. Mo Liuxi turned on his heel and huffed off. After a couple of steps, he looked back and reminded Li Ming, Dont tell me about Yan Su anymore.


    Li Ming just snickered. Sure thing.


    Fine. No more updates. But he knew Mo Liuxi was still curious about her.


    Nine oclock at night, the nended at Marco Polo International Airport.


    Yan Su left the airport in a shawl. Many staff members and fans had already gathered because of the International Film Festival, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone famous.


    Yan Su was practically a nobody on the international stage, not a well-known singer. She was waiting for the car to arrive outside the airport.


    Many batches of celebrities arrived before her. She had to wait half an hour before her ride showed up. When she climbed in the car, Jiaojiao remarked, If we had flown over with the rest of the production crew, we wouldnt have had to wait here. Nobody knows; we might have even been hassled if we hadnt followed the team.


    Yan Su smiled and looked at her. We only waited for half an hour. Look, even the British star, Bezier, had to wait with us. Shes a lot more famous than I am. Its also a good opportunity to see some superstars in real life. I think its worth it.


    Youre the best at consoling yourself, Jiaojiao giggled.


    After they got out of the car, they had to take a thirty-minute ferry ride to get to the hotel, a very grand medieval building with a magnificent lobby, overhanging crystal chandeliers, and well-lit the corridors.


    Yan Sus room was on the second floor. When she opened the windows, she saw a courtyard that reminded her of a royal mansion.


    This hotel is the most splendid ce Ive ever stayed in, she thought to herself, taking in the fresh air and exquisite beauty around her.


    Susu, Ah Yu said he wants to take some photos along the corridor and in the courtyard as publicity material, Jiaojiao called out to her from behind. Go put on that sponsored retro mini dress.


    Yan Su rubbed her forehead, Its sote. Cant it wait until tomorrow?


    Nope, Jiaojiao rejected her proposal immediately. These are Sister Xiangs orders. Check the inte. A lot of celebrities who arrived today have already posted their photos. Some people are here for the red carpet and publicity, not the awards ceremony. By tomorrow, most of the fans will already be tired of looking at these photos. Besides, you have to pull your weight for the brand that sponsored your clothes.


    Yan Su was quiet. She quietly put on some makeup and changed into the dress.


    It wasnt easy getting through a photoshoot. Even though she was already demonstrably pretty, her photographer had higher standards.


    Especially in the courtyard downstairs, she got some strange looks from passers-by.


    When she was finally done with the photos in the courtyard, she had to take some more shots in the corridors. She wanted the whole thing to be over with as quickly as possible.


    Susu, can you raise your chin a little bit and lean against the wall? Just a little bit, tousle your, yeah, like that. Just a bit, Ah Yu was giving her directions, as always.


    And Yan Su did as she was asked, as always.


    At this moment, footsteps and the sound of conversation could be heard on the staircase.


    The mans voice was clear and slow. It sounded alluring and sexy. It was so familiar to her; it made her heart pound.

 Chapter 1315. Mr. Mo, Its Been A Long While

    Chapter 1315. Mr. Mo, It''s Been A Long While


    Her instincts were right. It was Mo Liuxi.


    He couldnt be staying on the same floor as her.


    Yan Su froze without daring to look back. She didnt want to run into him like this after they hadnt seen each other for so long. It would be extremely awkward for him to see her in such pretentious poses.


    The footsteps were drawing closer now, but her photographer was used to people watching him work. He prompted her again, Susu, dont move around. Yes, maintain that pose.


    Yan Su was going crazy in her mind. She had to maintain this pose with her hair all tousled and messy.


    Liuxi,e here a sec. Someones taking photos. It was the gentle voice of a woman.


    Okay, the man answered softly. It was an alluring voice even though he didnt say much.


    Jiaojiao saw him immediately but acted as if everything was peachy keen. Hello, Mr. Mo. Its been a while, she chirped.


    Yes, it has. Mo Liuxi looked at her indifferently before averting his gaze. He wasnt exactly rude, but it was obvious he had no interest in continuing the conversation or exchanging pleasantries.


    Jiaojiao felt a little awkward.


    At the same time, Yan Su had to hold her pose while pretending not to know him. She only saw him walking past her with a girl with light brown hair.


    When the girl turned around and looked back, Yan Su recognized her right away. She was of mixed heritage with exquisite features, and she was young, around the same age as Mo Liuxi.


    He was never short of femalepanionship, that one.


    There was An Ning in the past. Now there was this brown-haired beauty.


    Yan Su quickly looked in the opposite direction.


    Thank goodness the couple didnt linger and that Mo Liuxi paid no attention to her. But the hotel was quiet, and from a distance, Yan Su heard the girl say, Liuxi, what are they doing? Whats there to shoot in the hotel?


    Theyre trying to take some good photos abroad and do some publicity, he answered breezily.


    Oh, I see, the girl said. This is the first time Im seeing someone take photos in the corridors. Whats so special about that? Did you see how messy the girls hair was? I bet its her first time attending a film festival like this. Her assistant greeted you just now. Is she part of your production team?


    Yeah, shes a singer.


    Oh.


    The voices grew fainter, and Yan Su was blushing now.


    Ah, Yu said, annoyed. Dont mind them, Susu. Im going for a wild, sexy, and vintage look. They dont know what theyre talking about. Whats wrong with shooting in the corridors? A lot of other celebrities do it, too.


    Yan Sus cheeks were bright red.


    She never wanted to bump into her ex in such awkward circumstances.


    He had been so condescending toward her. This time, she wanted to make a statement.


    When the photo shoot ended, she went back to her room.


    Jiaojiao could tell she was in a bad mood and tried to console her, Dont worry about it. That girls not Chinese and doesnt understand our culture. Shes just an ignorant girl. When Ji Nuanyi arrives tomorrow, shell be taking photos like this too. Shes an A-lister. Even though your hair was messy just now, it was messy in an attractive way.


    Yan Su found this amusing and began to chuckle. Forget it. She can say whatever she wants. You guys should edit the photos. Im going to bed now.


    Okay, Ill wake you up tomorrow.


    At dawn the next day, Yan Su woke up and video-called Yan Yan first thing in the morning.


    The only thing the baby seemed to do was eat and sleep.


    Yan Su watched her for a little while before paying a visit to Li Ming.


    She had nned on popping by to say hist night, but by the time she arrived, Li Ming was already asleep.


    The door to his room was ajar and plenty of people were already in his room.

 Chapter 1316. Mo Liuxi Walked into The Room

    Chapter 1316. Mo Liuxi Walked into The Room


    Yan Su stood outside the room for a while before she finally knocked on the door and walked in. Hello Director Li, Brother Cheng. Its been a long time, she said.


    She didnt know anyone else in the room, so she didnt want to call anyone by mistake.


    Cheng Sheng smiled at her politely while talking to someone else. Li Ming waved his hand at her while checking out her outfit.


    Because she wasnt going onto the red carpet that day, she was dressed casually in a denim skirt and a red long-sleeved jacket. Her hair was colored ash brown and curled. It wasnt an everyday style, but she could pull it off. Yan Su had big eyes, a sharp nose, and well-proportioned lips. After putting on a little weight, her cheeks had filled out, giving her a more mature, sexier appearancepared to her demure and innocent look of the past.


    Although her outfit was simple, her legs were long and fair, and she was altogether elegant and pleasing to the eye while exuding a young womans charm.


    Over the years, Li Ming had seen plenty of female stars in the entertainment industry, but he was still impressed by Yan Sus publicity team.


    He found her even more radiant and beautifulpared to six months ago when hest saw her.


    Nowadays, it was rare toe across such a young, pretty, and talented singerno wonder herpany was dedicating so many resources to pushing her along.


    He was curious to know if Mo Liuxi would be frustrated if he saw her again. It was apparent he had gone to some lengths to spruce himself up on this trip, perhaps to impress her should the two of them run into each other. But, of course, hed never admit that in a million years.


    You got here tootest night. I was already asleep. Sorry I missed you. Li Mingughed with ease, How were your studies in the States?


    It was fine. Thank you. Yan Su felt a little sheepish. Ive been inactive for a while and didnt expect the production crew to invite me along. I thought Brother Ye


    She sang the main soundtrack with Ye Yunchang after all.


    You sang the theme song at the end of the movie and in the middle, too. You totally deserve to be here, said Li Ming. I know you guys have a packed schedule these next few days, but lets grab a biteter and go to the small conference room on level three afterward to get familiar with the format tomorrow. We can hit up one of the bars in Venice another day and have a good time. We all havent seen each other in a while, so lets catch up. How does that sound?


    Sounds like a n, she said, smiling graciously. The truth was Yan Su wasnt big on socializing at all. She would have much preferred to explore the canals and meandering streets of Venice on her own, but since most of the production crew were here, they might think her anti-social or even snobbish if she excused herself from the festivities. Plus, she hadnt been around for most of the shoot, so it was appropriate for her to join the others.


    I dont think youre part of our group chat yet, are you? Let me add you now. Check the group for updates. Li Ming added her to the group chat.


    At that moment, Mo Liuxi walked through the door wearing gray trousers and a ck shirt with the first two buttons strategically undone, giving him a rakish air. He looked wild and elegant at the same time.


    In contrast to Yan Sus inconspicuous entrance, his entrance drew a crowd immediately from all genders, including Cheng Sheng.


    Yan Su was surprised. Mo Liuxi had a reserved disposition and could be downright unfriendly at times. He hadnt many friends in the past. She was surprised he was so well-liked by the production team.


    Seeing her changed expression, Li Ming exined, Mo Liuxi was very impressive during the shoot. He has some quirks, but he won everyone over with his skills and talent.


    Yan Su nodded her head.


    Just then another Hollywood actor came in looking for Li Ming.


    Lets have breakfast togetherter, Li Ming said to Yan Su before running off to talk to this popr leading man.


    Suddenly, Yan Su found herself standing in a corner all by herself.


    Mo Liuxi shot her an inconspicuous nce, captivated by a ray of light shining on her face that took his breath away. She was even more beautiful than the view outside the window.

 Chapter 1317. Dont Make Things Difficult For Our Pretty Girl

    Chapter 1317. Don''t Make Things Difficult For Our Pretty Girl


    If he hadnt known she was pregnant, he never would have guessed she was already a mother.


    After all, she didnt look at all like someone who had a child.


    Damn it, why did she have to look so good after giving birth? She was more alluring now than ever before.


    He wondered who the man was for her to be so loyal and all.


    He wouldnt believe her if she said it wasnt Shi Xiang.


    Liuxi, what are you daydreaming about? Lu Tao asked. Come on, lets get some breakfast.


    Okay. Mo Liuxi turned to leave with a bunch of people.


    Cheng Sheng waved at her as a senior and said, Come on, Yan Su. Lets go together, shall we?


    No, thanks. Im going to pass. Ive already eaten. Yan Su thought it would be only more awkward if she tagged along, so she decided to beg off and excuse herself from the group.


    Thats too bad. Cheng Sheng seemed disappointed.


    When he heard her voice, Mo Liuxi looked at her sarcastically and quipped, I distinctly remember Director Li inviting you to breakfast earlier, and you didnt refuse him. Howe youre giving the excuse that youve already eaten now? Whats the matter? You dont want to eat with us?


    Everyone frowned when he said that.


    Yan Su felt as if shed been put on the spot. She had already been shunned. Now she was being scrutinized. No, Im more than honored to be at the film festival with all my seniors. Its just that Director Li had to talk to someone before I could decline his invitation.


    Director Li turned and looked at them at the mention of his name. He could sense that the atmosphere was getting tense and stared at Mo Liuxi before saying, She says shes already eaten. Whats the big deal? Dont make things difficult for our lovely singer.


    With a surly expression, Mo Liuxi retorted, Im not trying to make things difficult. Im just saying what came into my mind.


    Yan Su managed to force a smile and say, Listen, you guys go ahead. I have work to do.


    Well then, remember toe for dinnerter. No excuses. Li Mingughed before he quietly whispered into Yan Sus ear, Dont be too unfriendly here.


    Yan Su shot him a grateful look.


    Mo Liuxi stalked off with the rest of the ground with his hands in his pocket.


    When Yan Su got back to her room, Jiaojiao asked curiously, Why didnt you have breakfast with the rest of the crew? I saw all of them eating downstairs. They looked like they were having a good time with each other. The spread looked so yummy, too, with tons of choices.


    Yan Su sighed despondently, Im a singer. I dont have much to talk about with directors and actors. It would be too awkward to eat with them, so I excused myself.


    Is it Mr. Mo did he single you out? Jiaojiao was defensive, Hes a guy. Whys he so being so petty after breaking up? What a piece of work he is, so crass and tasteless.


    Its got nothing to do with him. Come on, forget it. Lets go out and eat. We can walk around the canals too, said Yan Su.


    The sun cast a warm morning glow as gonds floated by in the canal next to them.


    Yan Su ordered a coffee and almond jam brioche at a cafe bathed in sunlight on the canal side.


    She wasnt used to the Italian breakfast.


    Yan Su was engrossed in her surroundings and sipping her espresso when she suddenly spotted Yang Ziqian, Cheng Sheng, and Mo Liuxi walking toward her.


    It was toote to try to hide now. Cheng Sheng caught her eye and greeted her, Yan Su, I thought you said youd already eaten? Why why are you eating breakfast again?


    Yang Ziqian looked amused and said, Probably because Liuxi was right; she didnt want to have breakfast with us.


    Mo Liuxi turned his back to her and started feeding the pigeons bits of bread.


    Yan Sus face was red hot, and she quickly exined, I saw that the sun was shining and wanted to enjoy it a little bit by the canal. It feels quite nice out here.

 Chapter 1318. Susu, How Have You Been?

    Chapter 1318. Susu, How Have You Been?


    Suddenly, Mo Liuxi turned his attention away from the pigeons. Ms. Yan, you sure have a lot of excuses. You said you had work to do before, but now you have time to sunbathe by the canal.


    He was purposefully picking on her. Yan Su could feel her blood boil, but she was the one who had lied to them in the first ce, and now she had no choice but to try to cover her tracks. I do have work to doter. If you dont believe me, Mr. Mo, you can follow me. I dont want you to think Im a liar.


    I dont care if youre lying or not. Mo Liuxi propped his hands in his pockets and walked away.


    Yang Ziqian and Cheng Sheng quickly followed after him.


    Jiaojiaoughed and said, Why do I get the feeling Mr. Mo is giving you a hard time just to get your attention? Dont be silly, Yan Su said bitterly. He hates me.


    I thought all young girls and guys were like this. Jiaojiao giggled.


    Yan Su shook her head in protest, refusing to acknowledge she was just a young girl. Geez. She was a mother.


    At night, the production crew gathered in a restaurant close to the hotel. They were dining in the outdoor alfresco area.


    Yan Su was worried people might think poorly of her, so she purposely arrived a little early.


    She was the first one there. After a little while, she could hear the sound of footsteps on the wooden nks growing closer.


    When she looked up, a tall and lean man walked over. He was wearing a pair of light-wash denim jeans and a crisp white shirt and had a bit of stubble on his handsome face.


    Yan Su was stunned. It was Shi Xiang, but he looked so different.


    He used to be a clean-shaven, handsome young guy, but now his skin was darker, his hair was shorter, and his gaze was harsher.


    The two of them locked eyes.


    Shi Xiang looked surprised to see her, and his expression hardened before it softened again. Susu, how have you been?


    Ive been well, Yan Su answered. She was a little flustered as she stood up. Bumping into Shi Xiang still made her feel extremely confused. No matter how hard she tried to forget what happened that day, she could not do so.


    She knew Shi Xiang must have felt even worse.


    To help preserve his pride, she had to feign nonchnce. How about you?


    Me? Shi Xiang smirked and said, The same old, I guess.


    Whats the same old? Yan Su asked with a smile. I saw the news. Youre about to do a few more blockbuster films, am I right? It sounds as if everythings going well for you.


    Only in the eyes of others. Shi Xiang looked into her eyes and said, No one knows how rotten I am inside. Only you do.


    Yan Su winced, Shi Xiang


    Please, can the two of you stand aside? Dont stand in the middle of the space if you want to chat, Mo Liuxi interrupted them abruptly.


    Shi Xiang turned and scowled at him. He reached out for Yan Sus arm and tried to pull her aside.


    Mo Liuxi squeezed in between them and bumped his hand away as he pulled a chair and sat down beside them.


    Yan Su and Shi Xiang stared at each other for a while before Shi Xiang broke the silence and said, Susu, lets go sit over there. I havent seen you in a while and have a lot to tell you.


    Yan Su wasnt close to the crew anyway, so she nodded her head.


    Shi Xiang, how am I going to toast you if you sit so far away? Mo Liuxi asked suddenly.


    Shi Xiang turned and frowned, Director Mo, I dont think were close enough to be drinking shoulder to shoulder tonight.


    Mo Liuxi looked up and said, Perhaps you misunderstood my intention. This festival has generated a lot of buzz and press attention. There are reporters and paparazzi everywhere. Your scandal with Yan Su is highly scrutinized. I dont want you two to create another hot topic that would overshadow talk about our film.

 Chapter 1319. Youre Just Jealous Because We Can Sit Together

    Chapter 1319. You''re Just Jealous Because We Can Sit Together


    Shi Xiang wasnt happy to hear that.


    Yan Su knew Mo Liuxi was hassling her again, so she said to Shi Xiang, Its okay. Lets sit here.


    I dont care where you two sit, but if the reporters take any pictures of you two sitting together, youll both suffer the consequences, said Mo Liuxi. I advise you to sit separately.


    Shi Xiang raised his eyes and smiled. Youre just jealous we can sit together, he said tly.


    You can try to sit together, said Mo Liuxi raising his chin. I assure you youll be in the headlines tomorrow.


    Yan Su had juste back to work. She wanted people to see her ability, not the scandals; thats thest thing she needed. No worries, she muttered meekly. Ill be sitting over there. Were gonna stay in Venice for a few days anyway, so well have plenty of time to catch up then.


    Sure thing, said Shi Xiang, suddenly feeling better.


    Being around Yan Su was humbling for Shi Xiang. He had desperately wanted to see her again but was afraid she might be too disgusted with him to agree.


    Hearing Yan Su making an appointment with Shi Xiang right in front of him made Mo Liuxi angry. It was more than his ego could bear.


    He would not believe that Shi Xiang wasnt the father of her child.


    Thankfully, the others from the crew started to arrive and not a moment too soon. Phew! The atmosphere was getting tense.


    Not many people were invited at this time. Except for the leading actors and actresses, the others were the behind-the-scenes staff.


    Ji Nuanyi was thest to arrive. She was wearing a long ck dress and light makeup, her hair falling gracefully over one shoulder. On such a beautiful night, she and Yan Su were like two elegant scenery lines.


    So, Ms. Yan. We meet again. Ji Nuanyi sat next to her and greeted her with a smile.


    Yan Su took note of the ring on her finger and recalled some media postings of her and Xiao Si in a hotel together. Congrattions, said Yan Su.


    Ji Nuanyi noticed Yan Su looking at the ring on her finger and chuckled. Sometimes, it just happens unexpectedly. You thought he wasnt the right guy, but it turned out you two are a perfect match.


    Yan Su wasnt expecting to hear that from her. She stopped short, then nodded and said, Mr. Xiao looks like a very nice guy. Hes Mr. Nians good friend. Like attracts like. Theyre both great guys.


    If you say so Yuxi is Mr. Nians brother-inw, Ji Nuanyi turned up her mouth corners.


    Yan Su paused again.


    I said nothing. Oh, try some of this risotto. Its out of this world. Ji Nuanyi tasted some and nodded in agreement. Mmm. Absolutely!


    Yan Su felt a little embarrassed. Ji Nuanyi seemed to know about what happened between her and Mo Liuxi.


    During the meal, all the male guests had drunk some alcohol. Yan Su had a few drinks, too.


    The meal ended at eight, but people wanted the fun to continue and happily agreed when someone suggested ying a game called Werewolves of Millers Hollow.


    In the first round, Yan Su was a viger. She was killed after she opened her eyes.


    She spent 20 minutes watching the others continue the game. Then in the second round, she was killed at the beginning again.


    Twice in a row? Whats up with that? People were giving her a confused look.


    In the third round, she was, finally, not a viger again. She was the police. But in the end, Mo Liuxi made people believe he was the werewolf and he killed her.


    Yan Su angrily downed two sses of beer. Shi Xiang noticed she was upset, so he stood up and said, Hey, everybody. Its gettingte. Some of us are tired. Lets all go back to our rooms. Dont we need to talk about our positions on the red carpet tomorrow?


    Thats right. There will be a lot of reporters there tomorrow. Lets get some shut-eye. Ji Nuanyi stretched and agreed.


    Since the two of them wanted to leave, the party ended and everyone left.


    Venice at half-past nine in the evening was bustling with activity.


    Since arge number of stars hade to Venice, many fans followed them there. The streets were all so crowded.

 Chapter 1320. Her Body Was Dragged into the Familiar Arms

    Chapter 1320. Her Body Was Dragged into the Familiar Arms


    Yan Su strolled along the pathway near one of the canals, trying to clear her mind. Shed had one too many, and although she wasnt drunk, she was feeling lightheaded. Suddenly, seemingly from out of nowhere, a Hollywood star rushed behind her, followed by a gaggle of adoring fans who started charging toward that young star in a frenzy.


    Yan Su wasnt prepared for that and tried to move out of the way. In the din, someone identally brushed against her and sent her flying toward the water.


    Be careful A deep voice was heard, sounding nervous and full of concern.


    Before Yan Su could react, someone pulled her body into his arms, which felt vaguely familiar.


    The hot, muggy night intensified the mans musky scent and the yeasty aroma of beer on his breath. Her head started spinning.


    Yan Su felt as if her brain was burning. With her cheek against his pecs, she turned her head and looked up. Under the bright streetlights of Venice, Mo Liuxis face looked morously gorgeous. The two of them stood there staring at each other, his dark eyes reflecting the colorful lights.


    All of a sudden, another crowd of crazed fans dashed in their direction. Mo Liuxi and Yan Su quickly turned around and switched ces. This time it was Mo Liuxi who was falling toward the canal. The whole thing happened so fast.


    Looking at him, Yan Su recalled how he killed her over and over again during the game earlier that night. As anger rose from her heart, she gently pushed him forward without thinking. In the next second, Mo Liuxi fell into the water with a ssh.


    Someone fell in the water!


    A person on the pathway screamed out loud.


    The other crew members came running over.


    Mo Liuxi was thrashing about and finally grabbed onto the shore. He popped his head out of the water, red at Yan Su, and yelled, Yan Su, I saved you, but you pushed me into the water! His hair was dripping wet.


    Yan Su came to her senses, realizing what she had just done.


    Um I didnt mean it, she stammered. She guiltily extended a hand to help pull him out.


    You think I believe you? Mo Liuxi clenched his teeth. Then he felt her push him on the chest.


    He angrily held Yan Sus hand and dragged her into the water.


    She panicked: she didnt know how to swim. Mo Liuxi yanked her hair and pulled her head up. Then he put the other hand around her waist and reached for the shore.


    Lets see if you can push me now, he snapped.


    You Yan Su was furious. She was soaking wet, and her body was pressed tightly against his. She was wearing a short skirt, and her legs had to cling against his. It was cold in the water, but she felt hot.


    At that very moment, some reporters came out and started taking pictures of the two of them.


    Yan Su wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She was wet. Her hair was messy. And It was so embarrassing! And aside from that, she and Mo Liuxi were holding each other. It would be shocking news.


    Su,e up. Shi Xiang reached out his hands to help her up.


    Yan Su reached toward him.


    Mo Liuxi unexpectedly whispered in her ear, Dont forget, youre wearing a short dress. Dont me me if people saw your underpants.


    Yan Su froze. She wanted to eat him alive at that moment. Aargh!


    Hold here, dont fall. Mo Liuxi pushed her onto the shore and tore off his shirt and wrapped her legs with it.


    Yan Su was stunned a little, and still dizzy. Before she realized what happened, he started pushing her upward.


    Li Ming and Shi Xiang quickly pulled her out of the water.


    After that, Mo Liuxi put both hands on the shore, propped himself up, and nimbly leaped out of the water. His shirt was gone. His upper body was bare. His hair was wet. The water streamed down his perfectly toned body. The masculine hormone radiated from him, causing the hearts of the people around him to thump and their cheeks to turn red.

 Chapter 1321. Dont Worry, a Mean Guy like You Wont Drown

    Chapter 1321. Don''t Worry, a Mean Guy like You Won''t Drown


    Yan Su nced at him and felt her heart melt. Then she remembered that he wasnt always so hot.


    He seemed to have been working out these past six months.


    He wasnt an entirely awful person, though. After all, he wrapped her legs with his shirt before pulling her out of the water to protect her modesty.


    Woww! Ji Nuanyi blurted out, her eyes aglow seeing upon Mo Liuxis great body. Director Mo, youre as hot as some top models. Your future girlfriend is one lucky girl.


    But Mr. Xiao has a great body, too, doesnt he? Cheng Sheng said with a smile.


    Not as good as this, Ji Nuanyi gestured with her hand.


    Shi Xiang furrowed his brows. He unwrapped Mo Liuxis wet and ck shirt from Yan Sus legs, then quickly started to take off his own shirt.


    Seeing that, Mo Liuxi saidzily, Dont bother. If you take off your shirt, the three of us will be tabloid fodder by tomorrow.


    What if she catches a cold? asked Shi Xiang.


    All right, stop it. You guys dont even have coats, Li Ming took off his coat and tossed it to Yan Su.


    Thank you, Director Li. Yan Su quickly draped the coat over her shoulders.


    The weather was humid but not super hot. After falling into the water, she even felt a bit chilly.


    Go back to the hotel. You dont want to catch a cold, said Li Ming.


    After what happened, the other crew members had mostly figured out the story among the three of them. Nobody dared to talk about it. Instead, they acted as if. Silence was golden.


    Mo Liuxi didnt put his wet shirt back on but returned to the hotel in his wet pants and waterlogged shoes that squished with every step he took. On the way back, his gorgeous face turned sulky.


    Yan Su wasnt a happy camper either.


    In the lobby, Li Ming said to them, You two, go and get changed. Well meet in the conference room on the third floor. Dont make us wait too long.


    Li Ming and the others went straight to the conference room, while Yan Su and Mo Liuxi returned to their rooms to freshen up. The two of them were moving in the same direction.


    Realizing this, Yan Su quickened her steps.


    Yan Su, stop. Mo Liuxis frosty voice was heard from behind. I saved you just now, but why did you push me into the water?


    Yan Su stopped, turned, and bumped into the chest of Mo Liuxi, who walking toward her in big strides.


    In pain, she limped and nearly fell.


    She didnt fall, though, because a strong arm held her waist.


    Yan Su raised her head and saw his sexy Adams apple. She felt a little annoyed, but before she could say another word, he let her go. Raising his eyebrows, he said, You bumped into me.


    Would I have bumped into you if you hadnte so close to me? Yan Su snapped.


    Dont change the subject, Mo Liuxi retorted. Do you know what that ce was? Its not ake. That canals more than 10 meters deep and full of gunk. If I didnt know how to swim, I might have drowned. You are such an evil woman.


    Yan Su sneered with anger and said, Dont worry, a mean guy like you wont drown.


    Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes. A fire was raging inside.


    Yan Su was a little scared and a little guilty. So with a dry voice, she said, I admit I shouldnt have done that. I drank some beer earlier and wasnt thinking straight. You were giving me a hard time tonight, and I was angry. I wasnt trying to kill you. I just wanted revenge. We were close to the waters edge. A lot of people were there. You know how to swim. Nothing would have happened to you, so dont exaggerate.


    You say I gave you a hard time tonight? Mo Liuxi wiped the water on his face. Then he continued, In the game? Im sorry, then. It was because you look like a bad person now.

 Chapter 1322. Im Not Married. Are You Happy?

    Chapter 1322. I''m Not Married. Are You Happy?


    Yan Su was so furious she couldnt stop shaking.


    After seeing Mo Liuxi again, she almost forgot how mean he was and how much they disliked each other. Now that they had broken things off, it was even harder for them to be in the same room together, much less behave civilly toward each other.


    At first, she slightly regretted pushing him into the water.


    But now, she didnt regret it at all.


    Mo Liuxi, weve broken up. Why have you been giving me such me a hard time? Whats the point in this?


    When did I give you a hard time? Mo Liuxi asked ndly. Did I trip you? Did I say bad things about you behind your back? This morning, you told everybody youd already had breakfast so you could avoid meeting the others from the crew, but you didnt have breakfast. Am I wrong? Tell me, is any of that untrue?


    Yan Su pressed her lips together and said, Yes, youre right. Its my fault. I shouldnt have lied to. Is that okay?


    Now you admit you were lying. Mo Liuxi bent over, narrowed his eyes and said, You and Shi Xiang even had a child together. Is it necessary for you two to act as if you havent seen each other for a long time? Or doesnt he know you were pregnant?


    Seeing his aggressiveness, Yan Su raised her head, looked at him straight in the eye, and said, I told you a long time ago. Shi Xiang isnt the father.


    And you expect me to believe that? Look how close you two were. You still love each other. Mo Liuxi wore a grim look. Im just curious. Are you married?


    Yan Sus chest heaved quickly. She felt really ufortable. Thats none of your business, okay!?


    Mo Liuxi chuckled and curved his gorgeous lips in a faint smile and said, If people found out you werent studying in the United States but were hiding somewhere having a baby, what would they think? What would the media say?


    Are you threatening me? Yan Su felt so sad. How did things between her and Mo Liuxi ever reach this point?


    Answer my question, Mo Liuxi demanded. Are you married?


    No, Im not married. There! You happy? Yan Su was incensed. You want tough at me, dont you? Yes, I had a baby, but the father doesnt want to marry me.


    Youre right. Yan Su, Im happy to see you like this. You see, you care so much about Shi Xiang, but he still doesnt want to marry you. Mo Liuxi burst intoughter and sounded like a hyena. You deserve this, he sputtered.


    After saying that, he walked away supremely satisfied with himself.


    Yan Su looked at his back, wanting to kick him.


    She took a few deep breaths and told herself that she probably owed it to him in her previous life.


    Back in her room, she poured her heart out to Jiaojiao about what happened.


    Jiaojiao nearly cried. There are at least a hundred Chinese reporters in Venice now. I cant possibly stop this from bing news. Ms. Xiang will kill me. The sponsor didnt give you that pretty dress so you could go swimming in a canal.


    Ill tell her about it first, so shes prepared, said Yan Su with embarrassment.


    Oh, no! No one saw your underpants when you were in the water, right? Jiaojiao looked at her legs nervously.


    N-no. Mo Liuxi took off his shirt and covered me with it, Yan Su said shaking her head.


    Phew! Jiaojiao sighed with relief. Then she added, Hes reliable in a crunch. Ill say that for him.


    Im getting changed. Yan Su turned and went to her closet.


    While putting on another outfit, she was lost in thought and distracted for a while. When she went back into the room, Jiaojiao had to remind her that she had her shirt buttoned up wrong.

 Chapter 1323. I Look like His Elder Sister from Any Angle

    Chapter 1323. I Look like His Elder Sister from Any Angle


    By the time Yan Su arrived at the conference room, everyone was already seated.


    Mo Liuxi, wearing clean pants and a hoody, was leaning back on the couch with one leg flung out in front of him,zily staring at the phone in his hand.


    Hearing her enter, he raised his eyes and said, Ms. Yan, what took you so long? I fell into the canal too but got here five minutes before you.


    Yan Su wisely kept her mouth shut, refusing to take to the bait. She had nothing to say to him.


    She now realized he was never going to stop giving her a hard time. And he loved nothing more than a spectacle.


    Oh, Come on. Youre a guy, and shes a girl. Shi Xiang displeasedly spoke for Yan Su. She has longer hair than you and had to spend a few more minutes drying it.


    Thats true, Ji Nuanyi nodded in agreement. Su, sit down, please.


    Yan Su nodded. She and Mo Liuxi were thest two to arrive. There were only two couches in the conference room, and Mo Liuxi was sitting on one side of one of them. No, no, no: She couldnt possibly sit next to him, so she had no choice but to sit in front of him.


    You already know the schedule, said Li Ming. Quite some red carpets are expecting us this time. The opening and closing ceremonies of the film festival, the screening of our film, the dinner party too many.


    Yan Sus head was aching. She had to see Mo Liuxi every single time she walked a red carpet. She had no idea how many times he would try to make her life miserable.


    For the opening ceremony, not too many people will be on the red carpet, said Lu Tao. If were going to walk together, you, Director Li, should certainly be in the middle. On your sides should be Cheng Sheng and Nuanyi, as our leading actor and actress, then Shi Xiang and Yang Ziqian. Wed better arrange for the boys and girls to walk together because itll be more eye-catching. As for me, I think Ill just be on the side. Im an old guy, after all. Liuxi and Yan Su, you two can be on the other side. Youre about the same age and look like a sweet couple


    Who looks like a couple with her? Mo Liuxi crossed his long, trim legs and interrupted Lu Tao, Uncle Lu, how can you say that? Shes about 12 years older than I am.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    Why was he being such a d*ck? How could he say that? Why didnt he say that when he was pursuing her?


    He said the two of them were the perfect match, at least visually if not temperamentally.


    Men are such liars.


    Yes, hes younger than I am, Yan Su added. I look like his elder sister from any angle.


    Any angle? Mo Liuxiughed mockingly. Which angle exactly?


    Li Ming rubbed his temples. He was losing his patience with those two and wanted so to kick them out of the room. Do you two have a problem with that arrangement? If you do, dont walk with us.


    Mo Liuxi rested his chin on his right palm and said, Im fine with it. I just dont like the way Uncle Lu described us.


    There is an issue between Director Mo and me, Yan Su said meekly. Perhaps it would be better if I stood next to Director Lu.


    If she walked all the red carpets together with Mo Liuxi, she was sure her hair would turn gray because of how angry she would be.


    Why do you want to stand with an old man? Lu Taoughed.


    Nodding, Li Ming said, Yeah. Youre too young to stand with him. Dont worry, Liuxi knows how to behave himself on important asions. So this is it. There are a few red carpets that we need to walk separately. Well be walking in groups. Cheng Sheng with Ji Nuanyi, Shi Xiang with Ziqian, Liuxi Youll walk with Yan Su since you two are the youngest.


    Yan Su wanted to die.


    Mo Liuxi also wore a sullen face and also seemed unhappy with the situation.


    Since weve made the arrangements, now lets rehearse a little. Li Ming pped his hands and said, Find your positions, be close with the ones on your sides.


    Yan Su stood up and helplessly walked to Mo Liuxis side. After struggling for quite a bit, she put her hand on his arm.

 Chapter 1324. Do I Have Any Moral Quality? Why Dont I Know?

    Chapter 1324. Do I Have Any Moral Quality? Why Don''t I Know?


    Mo Liuxi put his hand on Yan Sus waist perfunctorily.


    He hadnt held her this way in such a long time. She felt so awkward her body grew stiff.


    About ten secondster, he bent slightly and whispered in her ear, Your waist has grown thick since you had the baby.


    Yan Su turned to look at his super handsome face. She couldnt help but stomp her heel on his foot.


    Ouch! he shouted. Yan Su, why did you step on my foot It was apparent he was exaggerating things to get attention and make her look bad.


    The others immediately turned to the two of them. Yan Sus cheeks reddened with shame. She wanted to tear his mouth open.


    Mo Liuxi, are you bothering again? Shi Xiang furrowed his brows and said to Ling Ming, Director Li, maybe I should switch ces with Director Mo. I dont mind standing on the side.


    Youre the leading actor. You have a lot of fans. How can you stand on the side? Li Ming shook his head impatiently, his jaw firmly set. Hed had it! Then he gave Mo Liuxi and Yan Su a harsh re and said, You two, enough! If you cant behave yourselves, youll be on the next flight home.


    Yan Su fell silent. Standing beside her, Mo Liuxi curved his lips in a perky smile.


    The rehearsalsted about 20 minutes. Li Ming went over all the details again and promptly ended the meeting.


    Yan Su walked out of the room, and Shi Xiang ran ahead to catch up with her. In a low voice, he said, Whats going on between you and Mo Liuxi? Why is he giving you such a hard time? Werent you guys


    He didnt finish his words. He was once so jealous of Mo Liuxi.


    However, after realizing that he couldnt make Yan Su happy, he sincerely wished her to have a good life with Mo Liuxi.


    But now, her rtionship with Mo Lixi seemed to have ended badly.


    Yan Su rubbed her temples and said, We were together, but we werent a good match, and  it didnt work out.


    Was it because That time? Some reporters took photographs of you and me together? asked Shi Xiang after a long pause. With a pained expression, he continued, I didnt know my manager told you not to tell. You didnt tell Mo Liuxi, though, did you? Thats why he misunderstood you


    Its not like that, Yan Su didnt want him to think that way. She shook her head and said, It was because of our personalities. We were both immature.


    Thats true. Shi Xiangs deep voice was full of pity. If that thing hadnt happened, he would have undoubtedly gathered his courage and pursued her again. I still think that, if it was because of me, I could exin to him what happened that night


    Dont reopen your wound again, said Yan Su with a sigh.


    Su Shi Xiang said to her with hesitation. When we were at the restaurant, you choose not to sit with me. Apart from not wanting the reporters to take any photos of us, was it because you felt feel that Im disgusting?


    Yan Su was shocked. Then with a frown, she said to him, Thats absurd. Dont say that. I just came back to work. I want people to see my abilities, not my scandals.


    Oh, okay. Shi Xiang was relieved. Looking at her, he finally broke into a beautiful smile.


    Watching the two of them, Mo Liuxi felt as if his eyes were aching.


    Seeing this and sensing trouble, Li Ming dragged him away and discreetly reminded him in a low voice, Dont! As people say, breaking up with someone might reveal ones true moral quality.


    Do I have any moral qualities? Why dont I know about that? Moral quality is bullsh*t, Mo Liuxi sneered.


    As he prepared to rush to Yan Su, Ji Nuanyi suddenly called out, Su, do you have any facial masks? I left home in a hurry and forgot to bring mine.


    The two girls left. Mo Liuxi stopped walking, turned, and said to Li Ming, Youre right. I cant be too awful.


    Li Ming didnt know what to say. He stood there, scratching the back of his head in bewilderment.

 Chapter 1325. Yan Su and Mo Liuxi Flirt in the Sea

    Chapter 1325. Yan Su and Mo Liuxi Flirt in the Sea


    The next day, Yan Su woke up to find herself on the headline of the entertainment news in China. Such shocking news rarely happened during a film festival. People were expecting to read a story about her and Shi Xiang, but unexpectedly, what happened between her and Mo Liuxi were dugout. So in no time, she was in the headlines.


    Yan Su was prepared for that, but she wasnt expecting herself to make such shocking news once she came back to work.


    She read the news on her phone. The reporters had taken a lot of pictures of her and Mo Liuxi in the water, close with each other.


    The more pictures she saw, the more embarrassed she felt.


    In one picture, Mo Liuxi was holding her tightly. Back then, he was pulling her out of the water.


    What made her ufortable were the headlines of those articlesYan Su and Mo Liuxi Bath Together in the Venice Sea, Yan Su Held Mo Liuxi Wet, Ji Nuanyi Called Mo Liuxi Super Hot


    Yan Su didnt want to read the articles about herself, so she read the ones bout Mo Liuxi and Ji Nuanyi. Last night, some reporters were close enough to hear Ji Nuanyi say that Mo Liuxi was hotter than Xiao Si. That was reported as well.


    She could imagine how unhappy Xiao Si might be to read that news.


    These headlines are so disgusting, Jiaojiaoined while looking at her phone. Ms. Xiang spent half an hour scolding me.


    What did she say? Yan Su asked.


    Jiaojiao sighed and said, She said youre so attractive and that if she had known about this, shed have asked the spender for a swimsuit.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    Stop thinking about it. Its already on the news. You couldnt stop them anyway, Jiaojiaoforted her. Thankfully, the reporters made these pictures look like wedding pictures.


    Yan Su honestly didnt know what to say.


    All right. Go for breakfast, thene back for makeup.


    She needed to wear a full dress for the red carpet in the afternoon, so she didnt eat too much. After all,st night, Mo Liuxi told her that her waist had grown thick. She needed to watch her weight.


    The whole world was paying attention to that ceremony. The makeup artist did a very careful job and spent four entire hours.


    By 2 pm, the ferries arranged by the organizers had already arrived at the hotel entrance. Yan Su got a call from Jiang Peiying when she came out of the hotel in a long, ck, V-neck dress.


    Su, whats going on? I woke up to find you and a strange man in the headlines. Who is that? Why did you fall into the water? Your father was so upset reading about it.


    Mom. It was too crowdedst night. Some crazy fans identally pushed me into the water.


    Why the news said he pulled you into the water? Jiang Peiying said with a frown, Is there a personal issue between you two?


    No, dont believe the news, Yan Su denied.


    Good then. But youre a girl. Letting a man hold you in the water is not appropriate, Jiang Peiying warned her, Hes handsome, but you need to restrain yourself still.


    Mom Yan Su felt a little embarrassed. At that very moment, she saw from the corner of her eyes, Mo Liuxi came out of the hotel in a dark-red velvet suit, wearing a ck bowtie.


    You always let yourself fooled by handsome boys. Im worried about you, Jiang Peiyingined.


    Thats not true. I now think that the inner quality of men is more important than appearance.


    When Yan Su said that, Mo Liuxi walked up to her.

 Chapter 1326. Dont You Need to Take Responsibility for That?

    Chapter 1326. Don''t You Need to Take Responsibility for That?


    On hearing what she said, Mo Liuxi stopped walking, looked at her and said in a deep, slightly dry voice, Are you sure you have good taste now?


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    Whos talking to you? Is it Shi Xiang? Jiang Peiying asked her.


    Mom, Ill talk to youter. Yan Su hurriedly ended the call.


    So youve already made peace with your family. Mo Liuxi figured it out. She told the world that she went to the United States to study, but in fact, she probably went home to have the baby. With a sarcastic smile, he said to her, Do your parents know that youve had a baby? Werent they super angry seeing youe home with a pregnant belly?


    Yan Su bit her lip, red at him and said, How many times do I have to tell you that Ive broken up with him? This is really none of your business.


    Im just feeling sorry for your parents. After all, girls like you, who make their parents so worried, are rarely seen in the world. Mo Liuxi snorted coldly, then hopped onto the boat.


    Yan Su took a deep breath, then with Jiaojiaos help, she got onto the boat as well.


    She was wearing a dress and heels. It was hard for her to move on the boat, so she sat down right by the tail of the boat, keeping a distance from Mo Liuxi.


    Before long, the other crew members all arrived.


    The boat started moving. Ji Nuanyi, who was sitting beside Yan Su, had been talking on the phone the whole time. The reporters made it up how can you believe that


    Hehe. The reporters have also taken a picture of you drooling over him. Xiao Si was really upset. Look at yourself. Your eyes are almost popping out. Are you not satisfied with my body shape? Didnt you say that Im not fat and thats good? Didnt you say that having no muscles isnt a problem at all? Didnt you say that I dont need to keep fit, and only maintain a healthy diet and focus on making money? Do you consider yourself unlucky being with me?


    As his voice grew louder and louder, Ji Nuanyi cupped a hand on her phone, then lowered her voice and said, I said that to maintain the impression that Ive created. If I didnt say that, people would find me not like the person they believed I am


    Yeah, keep finding excuses. Have you ever tried to create an impression? Are you always like this? Isnt this your nature? said Xiao Si grumpily. Im telling you, Ji Nuanyi, I am mad now. Nian Juntingughed at me in the morning. Im done talking to you. The more I say, the angrier I be. I have spoiled you, so you better not create some other scandal in Italy.


    Dropping her phone, Ji Nuanyi rubbed her temples, suffering a headache.


    Cheng Shengughed. Mr. Xiao is upset, isnt he? You shouldnt have said something like thatst night. Liuxi, dont you think that you need to take responsibility for it? Maybe you should exin it a little.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxi turned and said ndly, Maybe I should text Mr. Xiao and tell him that I am in better shape than he is. He doesnt need to be upset about it.


    Thats a good idea. Ji Nuanyi nodded.


    Peopleughed.


    Liuxi, your voice is a bit hoarse. Lu Tao said, Did you catch a cold?


    Yan Su slightly turned her head when she heard that. She then heard Mo Liuxis voice, mixing with the sea wind. Em, my throat isnt feeling well.


    During the past few days, Lu Tao had mostly figured out what was happening between Mo Liuxi and Yan Su. You pushed him into the water and got him sick, someone said to Yan Su jokingly. Dont you have to take responsibility for that?


    Su, you fell into the waterst night too. How are you feeling today? Shi Xiang asked her with concern.


    Im fine. Im strong and healthy Yan Su said on purpose.


    Mo Liuxiughed. You came back wearing Director Lis coat. Of course youre stronger and healthier than I am. After all, I came back half-naked.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.

 Chapter 1327. Mo Liuxi, Get Away From Me

    Chapter 1327. Mo Liuxi, Get Away From Me


    Eh-hem. Li Ming coughed and said, Im sorry. I should have given my jacket to you.


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say.


    Yan Su tittered. She suddenly found that Director Li could be sharp-tongued too.


    Have you had any medicine yet? There are still a few more days to go. You dont want to get worse, said Ji Nuanyi.


    I didnt have the time to get medicine. Mo Liuxi closed his eyes for a second and then continued saying, I guess someone thinks shes not responsible for this at all.


    Since he had said that, Yan Su had no choice but to say to him, Ill ask my assistant to get medicine for you. What symptoms do you have?


    Mo Liuxi turned, nced at her and said, Guess.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    His brain is probably damaged, she thought.


    Ji Nuanyiughed. Liuxi, stand up. I want to kick you into the water and let the fish eat you.


    Why was the young man getting more and more difficult?


    People chuckled; the atmosphere was nice.


    Getting off the boat, everyone sensed a strong film festival vibe. Fans from all over the world were surrounding the venue.


    They werent the only film crew from China, but among all, Shi Xiang and Ji Nuanyi were the most popr stars, and they had the most fans.


    They walked further into the venue, but Jiaojiao and the other staff werent allowed in. It was really inconvenient for Yan Su to move in the full-length gown that she was wearing.


    With no other choice, she lifted the hemline of the gown and walked into the venue in heels.


    Both sides of the red carpet were crowded with reporters. There was a female star standing in front of Yan Su and her crew members wearing a fullce dress. As she walked onto the stairs, she turned back to wave at people; a few guys from Yan Sus crew were all attracted by her.


    Lu Tao sighed. Damn. That woman didnt even wear a nubra. She has pretty breasts though.


    Yan Su looked at the woman and blushed. She was so entranced that she stepped on her gown and caused herself to fall toward the carpet.


    Before her head hit the carpet, she told herself that she was doomed. After falling into the water, she would be in the headlines again for falling on the red carpet.


    Thankfully, Mo Liuxi reached out an arm and swiftly pulled her back up.


    At that very moment, Mo Liuxi saw down her neckline. She was wearing a nubra, but still, what he saw made him feel thirsty.


    Her breasts werent so full back when they had been together. They had probably grown a cup bigger after she gave birth to her child.


    For some reason, Mo Liuxi was suddenly jealous of the child who was breastfed by her.


    He also wanted to kill the man who made her pregnant.


    Thank you. Yan Su held his arm, steadied herself, then thanked him. However, she then raised her head to look into his angry eyes.


    Her heart leaped. Thankfully, Mo Liuxi restrained his anger and said, Youre already in the headlines for falling into the water. Do you want that to happen again?


    No, said Yan Su with red cheeks. I was looking at that woman.


    Mo Liuxi followed her eyes and saw the woman. He sneered and said, Im surprised that you can even be attracted to that kind of woman. Why were you looking at her? She looks disgusting.


    Yan Su was surprised to hear that. She couldnt help but say to him, Youre right. Shes not as young as An Ning is.


    Mo Liuxis throat was already sore. On hearing what Yan Su said, he felt as if he had eaten a dead fly. That is right, he said to her. Youre not as pretty as An Ning is either.


    Mo Liuxi, get away from me. Yan Su was so angry that she was trembling. Her eyes even turned red.


    If they werent on a red carpet, she would have kicked Mo Liuxi off the stairs.

 Chapter 1328. Woman Can Be Horrible When They Decided to Be Mean

    Chapter 1328. Woman Can Be Horrible When They Decided to Be Mean


    Mo Liuxi was stunned to find her eyes red.


    For some reason, he liked it when she couldnt help but scold him. I dont know how to get away, he said. Maybe you can show me how.


    Yan Su didnt say a word. She was really failing to control herself. She couldnt kick him, so she stepped on his foot really hard with her heels. Her heels were hiding under her dress, so no one could see her movement, and her ten-centimeter high heels would certainly give him pain.


    Li Ming moved forward, then found the two starting a fight on the red carpet. He was so angry. You guys can fight as long as you want when we get back to the hotel, but not here, he said through clenched teeth.


    We werent fighting. Mo Liuxi endured the pain, then pulled his foot out from under Yan Sus heel. He found a dent on his shoe.


    No wonder people said that women could be horrible when they decided to be mean.


    Yan Su didnt look at him, but gave a sweet smile, held his arm, and waved at the surrounding reporters while walking.


    With every step, Mo Liuxi felt as if his big toe was breaking.


    It took them a very long ten minutes to walk through the red carpet. Yan Su let go of Mo Liuxis arm once they walked into the building. Right after that, a tall and slim woman in a red dress walked up to Mo Liuxi, quickly gave him a huge hug and said, Liuxi, youre finally here. Ive been expecting you.


    Mo Liuxis toe was aching, so he failed to steady himself. As the woman pounced on him, he had to shamble backward a few steps before he found a foothold.


    Tang Yueqi, whats your problem? heined.


    Come on, let me give you a kiss. Tang Yueqi kissed him on his cheek.


    Mo Liuxi hurriedly pushed her away, wiped his cheek, red at her and said, What are you doing! Dont use your foreigners habits on me.


    Its because you look so gorgeous today, said Tang Yueqi jokingly as she narrowed her eyes.


    Yan Su who was standing near Mo Liuxi immediately recognized the woman. She was the one who returned to the hotel with Mo Liuxi on the first night they arrived in Venice. They looked rather close to each other.


    Since they had met up the first night the crew arrived, their rtionship must be unusual.


    There might be a story between them. After all, he slept with An Ning and lied to Yan Su. Yan Su wouldnt be surprised to know that he had slept with some other women too.


    However, with that thought, she felt as if someone was piercing her heart with a needle, making it feel hard to breathe.


    She walked to the side to get herself some juice.


    Liuxi, this is Ji Nuanyi nced at Yan Sus back, then asked Mo Liuxi with concern.


    Tang Yueqi. Li Ming answered her question. With a smile, he shook hands with Tang Yueqi and said, Miss Tang is from the US. Shes been ying a leading role in some American TV dramas. Last year, she started making Hollywood movies. Miss Tang is very capable. Not many Asian-faced girls can be superstars in the US.


    Im surprised that you know me, Director Li. Tang Yueqi smiled. I used to work with Liuxi. We are good friends now. Its so nice to be here in Venice with you guys.


    We were going to a bar tonight and Liuxi is going too. Miss Tang, youre wee to join us if you have the time. Itll be fun. Li Ming invited the girl smilingly.


    Sure! Im best at hanging out in bars. Tang Yueqi raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes.


    Ten secondster, Ji Nuanyi dragged Li Ming to a corner and said, What were you thinking? The entire crew knows that there is an issue between Yan Su and Liuxi, yet you invited Miss Tang to hang out with us. Do you want more trouble?

 Chapter 1329. Mr. Xiao Is Really Upset

    Chapter 1329. Mr. Xiao Is Really Upset


    Li Ming gave a meaningful smile and said, Youre right. I do feel the trouble isnt too bad yet. Its like cooking, you know? If you dont turn up the fire a little, the food will never be ready.


    Old fox. Ji Nuanyi was enlightened. What if you overcook the food?


    Thatll be their own problem. Perhaps, they werent meant to be together, said Li Ming.


    Ji Nuanyi found his words were starting to make sense.


    Dont worry about them. Worry about yourself. Li Mingughed. Mr. Xiao is really upset.


    He Ji Nuanyi narrowed her eyes, smiled and said, He is easy.


    Mo Liuxi finally made some time to go to the bathroom. He took off his shoe to check his foot. There was a bruise on the back of his foot, and the skin was broken.


    What an evil woman.


    Mo Liuxi angrily took a picture of his foot with his phone, then went out of the bathroom to look for Yan Su.


    Yan Su was chatting with a European male star. Mo Liuxi didnt know what they were talking about but he could see her chuckling happily.


    She attracts all kinds of guys every day, he thought.


    With a smile, he walked up to her and said, Yan Su, arent you into girls? Have you changed?


    Yan Su froze. The European male star opened his mouth wide with surprise and said, Oh my God. Are you into girls?


    No, I


    Lets go. I want to introduce one of my female friends to you. Mo Liuxi dragged her toward the side.


    Yan Su struggled but failed to free herself from him. She was infuriated, so she bent over and bit the back of his hand.


    Mo Liuxi retracted his hand in pain, red at her and said, Are you a dog?


    Youre a dog, a crazy dog, Yan Su said. She was a nice and mild person, but now, because of Mo Liuxi, she was bing more and more short-tempered. I was talking to someone, she said. Why did you make him think that Im a lesbian? People might say things about me behind my back.


    Youre overthinking. Homosexual marriages are legal in many countries, said Mo Liuxi coldly. Besides, youre a parent now. How can youugh so happily with another man? The father of your child is on the scene. Cant you discipline yourself?


    Thest few sentences he said made Yan Sus heart skip a beat, but she realized that he was probably talking about Shi Xiang.


    Is Venice your home? Why do you care so much? If you have so much time, go and discipline that pretty girl who kissed you just now.


    You think I care about you? Mo Liuxi showed her the picture on his phone, Look at this. Look what youve done to my foot. Ive really learned what kind of person you are after we broke up.


    Yan Su stayed silent. That was exactly what she wanted to say to him.


    She took his phone and saw his injured foot in the picture; she felt speechless. Was it really necessary for him to take a picture of his slightly injured foot? She thought about it and then realized she did stomp on his foot pretty hard earlier.


    She hesitated a short while. Knowing that he was there to giving her trouble deliberately, she opened her wallet, took out a stack of cash, handed it to him and said, The medicine fee.


    Mo Liuxi didnt respond.


    As he stayed silent, Yan Su added with, Too much? All right, Ill hurt your other foot.


    Im impressed. Mo Liuxi clenched his teeth and turned around.


    After taking a step, he then turned back and took away all the money in her hand. Yan Su saw him putting the cash into his trousers pocket.


    She really wanted to kick him to death.


    He was a psychopath. He was so nice and sweet when he was her boyfriend, but after they broke up, he became such a pain in the ass.


    Mo Liuxi walked to the corner, then dropped his head to look at his hand which had been bitten by Yan Su. Luosang called him and said, Liuxi, how could you drag Yan Su into the sea? Why are you two always acting like enemies? From Xia City to Venice, you fought all the time. Do you intend to make your problem international news?

 Chapter 1330. Wheres My Medicine?

    Chapter 1330. Where''s My Medicine?


    Mo Liuxi wasnt surprised. It had be such shocking news. Luosang would certainly know.


    What did Yan Su tell you? he asked.


    She said she got drunk and pushed you into the sea because you killed her in the game. How could you do that? You guys are schoolmates. You should unite, right?


    I dont think so, said Mo Liuxi ndly. She pushed me into the water, and then I dragged her down. Wasnt that fair? Dont worry about it.


    After saying that, he ended the call.


    Having a little brother who never listens can really give you a headache sometimes, Luosang said to Nian Junting who was having breakfast.


    Nian Junting was reading the news while eating. He had to admit that Mo Liuxi impressed him. They had broken up, yet he held her so tightly in the water.


    Darling, have you found that the two of them actually look like a sweet couple. Nian Junting showed Luosang the picture.


    Luosang nced at the picture and said, Um, yeah. But if Su became Liuxis wife, she might be infuriated every single day. I dont think they can be together.


    Nian Junting stayed silent.


    At that moment, Apple suddenly grasped his bowl and screamed out loud.


    Shut up! Bad boy! Nian Junting found that the older his son became, the less adorable he was.


    Havent you had enough yet? Luosang hurriedly stood up and looked at the empty baby bowl. Apple, youve already had a bowl of porridge. You cant eat too much.


    Apple twisted his chubby body and screamed, Candy! Candy! Candy!


    He called everything edible candy.


    Luosang had no choice but to fetch him another bowl of seafood porridge. Apple fed himself with the baby spoon. His entire mouth was covered in porridge.


    Nian Junting buried his face in his palms and said, Why does my son have such a great appetite? He is so much like his mother. His stomach is like a ck hole.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Ever since Apple grew old enough to eat food other than breastmilk, the boy had been eating everything. His weight was rising rapidly, and that made Luosang really worried.


    Venice.


    The opening ceremony started at 8:00 p.m. and ended at 10:30 p.m. At the end of the ceremony, that was when the nightlife in Venice really began.


    Back in the hotel, Yan Su changed, then saw Lu Taos message in the group chat. He wanted people to meet in the lobby.


    She was quite tired, but she hated to disappoint her friends. She decided to have some coffee and walk downstairs.


    All the crew members were there. Some friends of Director Li were also invited.


    On their way to the bar, Mo Liuxi coughed from time to time.


    You werent coughing earlier today, said Ji Nuanyi. Why is it getting worse?


    Um, Mo Liuxi said ndly. From the corner of his eye, he saw Yan Su, who was about a meter away from him. I started coughing earlier at the opening ceremony. I think it has gotten worse, said Mo Liuxi.


    Su, didnt you send your assistant to get medicine? Wheres the medicine? Lu Tao asked.


    Yan Su felt embarrassed. She did want to send Jiaojiao to buy medicine for Mo Liuxi earlier, but since Mo Liuxi made her so angry in the afternoon, sheter told Jiaojiao not to go.


    Yeah, wheres my medicine? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Yan Su red at him.


    Wasnt the money enough? Did he really want her to buy him medicine?


    You guys keep moving. Tang Yueqi nced at the two of them, then said to the others, I left someone in the hotel. Ill meet you at the barter.


    Be careful, Li Ming said to her, then Tang Yueqi left.


    When they arrived at the bar, Tang Yueqi caught up with them and threw a box of pills at Mo Liuxi.

 Chapter 1331. Brother-in-Laws Regards

    Chapter 1331. Brother-in-Law''s Regards


    Whoa, so Miss Tang went to get medicine for our Director Mo, someone eximed.


    Without feeling shy at all, Tang Yueqi proudly raised her chin. He wouldnt let me if I offered to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine for him, so I lied. Just take the pills. There are some anti-inmmatory pills and cough pills.


    Mo Liuxi furrowed his brows and nced at the girl who had been looking at her phone with her back to him. Somehow, he felt irritated.


    They had broken up indeed, but she should care a little more about him, shouldnt she? She was acting like his illness had nothing to do with her at all.


    What a heartless woman.


    Just ept Miss Tangs kindness and take the pills, Li Ming said to him. Be nice to yourself. After all, we have some important work to do in the next few days.


    Ji Nuanyi reminded him saying, You cant drink alcohol when youre on pills, so dont drink. If you want to drink, wait until the alcohol is gone from your system and then take the pills.


    Mo Liuxi stopped short. He didnt like drinking alcohol, but it was impossible for him to not drink tonight, as so many people were there. Ill take them tonight, he said.


    He put the pills into his pocket.


    Dont drink too much tonight, Li Ming said to him.


    The bar was located by the seaside. It was considered the fanciest among all the bars in Venice. The ce was luxurious and tastefully decorated with retro-style lights and leather couches. Expensive bottled wines were ced by the walls on both sides, and in the middle, there was a ce for drums and singing.


    The ce wasnt as noisy as some clubs in China. Sitting there, looking outside the window at the sea, one could rx and be submerged in the scenery.


    Yan Su threw herself onto a couch. Mo Liuxi and Tang Yueqi were sitting diagonally in front of her. Tang Yueqi was sitting very close to Mo Liuxi. She talked to him from time to time, thenughed out loud.


    She had never talked to Tang Yueqi before, but she could tell that Tang Yueqi was as passionate and outgoing as some Western girls.


    Unlike her, Yan Su was like a snail shrinking in its shell.


    She envied people like that. For some reason, she was so down at the moment.


    She broke up with Mo Liuxi for many reasons, but she had to admit that in the eyes of the other girls, he was still a very attractive man.


    He was young, handsome, rich, talented.


    She wanted to give him best wishes, but still, she couldnt bear watching him being with another girl.


    She turned away, picked up a ss and took a sip of what was in it. She didnt find it was alcohol until she swallowed it. It burned her stomach.


    Su, youre good at drinking. I saw you take a gulp, Shi Xiang said to her with a soft voice.


    No, I thought it was juice. Yan Su put the ss down. She had to be extra careful now. She didnt dare let herself get drunk again.


    Ill ask someone to get you a cup of warm water. Shi Xiang stood up to find a waiter.


    Mo Liuxi was talking to Tang Yueqi, but his eyes never left Yan Su and Shi Xiang. He hated seeing Shi Xiang be nice to Yan Su.


    At that very moment, Nian Junting called him.


    He walked to the balcony to answer the call. What do you want? he said.


    Just sending regards from your brother-inw. Nian Junting sounded delighted. I guess youre quite unhappy now.


    Mo Liuxi clenched his teeth.


    Nian Junting sounded quite d knowing that Mo Liuxi was unhappy.


    I cant believe you actually pulled her into the water. I guess youre really trying your best to catch her attention. Nian Juntingughed.


    Thats not true. Mo Liuxi rubbed his temples.


    Dont lie to me. Ive been there, Nian Junting said. I called you because I want to teach you a few things.

 Chapter 1332. My Boyfriend Is Gay

    Chapter 1332. My Boyfriend Is Gay


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent. He didnt want to believe Nian Junting.


    I tried to get her attention because I wanted to make her feel bad, he said. He didnt want to be with her. She had a baby with some other guy already. He would never forgive her for that. He couldnt possibly pretend like it never happened.


    However, he couldnt forget about her either. He didnt want to be a stranger to her.


    He had never struggled so much.


    I hate her. He leaned against the guardrail, letting out the three words.


    Well, hes really damaged, Nian Junting thought. He even used the word hate. He thought he loved her, but where could the hatrede from?


    Its good. Nian Junting agreed with Mo Liuxi. Since you hate her, you have to constantly try to make her feel bad. Only when shes unhappy can you be happy. Thats the only way.


    Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say. He knew Nian Junting couldnt possibly give him good advice.


    Nian Junting continued by saying, You have to show up before her every single day. Shell copse sooner orter. You have to make her lose her mind and p you in the face. When she does that, kiss her aggressively, and after that kiss, you can tell her that you hate her. Shell definitely fall for you.


    Is that how you treated my sister before?


    Of course not, said Nian Junting ndly. Theyre rebroadcasting the TV drama called Meteor Garden. Your sister watched it and said its great. She said the boys in that drama are so hot and decent. I tried to talk her out of watching something so tedious, but she refused to listen. Shes as tasteless as Yan Su is, and thats why the two of them are best friends. I think they both like being treated by boys in that way. In a rtionship, you can either die with silence or explode in silence. It depends on what you choose.


    Bye, Mo Liuxi said.


    Wait! The most important thing, be shameless


    Mo Liuxi ended the call directly. He felt that Nian Junting could be a screenwriter and create quite cliche romantic dramas.


    He walked back into the bar and saw Yan Su and Shi Xiang talking to each other quietly.


    Suddenly, he felt that something Nian Junting said was right. He couldnt tear them apart, but he could disgust them. He picked up a bottle of wine and quickly walked toward the microphone.


    Hes not going to sing a song, is he? Li Ming gave a start.


    Why on earth does he want to do that? Ji Nuanyi wanted to leave. Before, while the crew was producing the film, the crew members used to go to karaoke together. As everybody knew, Mo Liuxi was handsome, and his voice was beautiful, but he was terrible at singing. It didnt matter if he sang in a VIP room with his friends but singing in such a public ce could be rather embarrassing.


    Yan Su noticed what he was doing and her mouth corners twitched.


    Who gave him confidence?


    It was hard to find the background music of a Chinese song in a bar in Venice, so was he going to sing an English song?


    When the song title My Boyfriend is Gay showed up on the screen, Yan Su choked on a mouthful of water.


    She was stunned.


    As a singer, she had listened to many songs written in Chinese and othernguages. She knew the song My Boyfriend is Gay quite well. It was sung by the female singer Hailey Rowe. The song told a story about a girl buying her boyfriend a birthday gift, but in the end, she found out that her boyfriend was gay. He was with another boy.


    Hailey Rowe had a sweet and silvery voice. The song could not be sung by a man.


    What on earth had happened to Mo Liuxi?


    Many other people in the bar had seen the title of the song and started whistling and screaming. The atmosphere was instantly boosted.


    Ji Nuanyi covered her ears, turned to Yan Su and said, Su, can you please get on the stage? Ill lose my interest in music if I hear him sing that song.

 Chapter 1333. Mo Liuxi, Im Fond of You

    Chapter 1333. Mo Liuxi, I''m Fond of You


    Yan Sus mouth corners twitched.


    Li Ming hurriedly plugged his ears with tissues. Even Shi Xiang who sat beside him started preparing to plug his ears as well.


    Yan Su was still hesitating when Mo Liuxi started singing.


    The beautiful song became extremely weird and unpleasant to the ears when it came out of his mouth.


    Waves of shushing were heard from the bar.


    Tang Yueqi was the first to spring up from the chair and started to wave a wine bottle.


    At that point, many in the bar were already drunk. Seeing what Tang Yueqi was doing, they stood up as well and started to dance with excitement. The atmosphere warmed up.


    Mo Liuxi finished the first song, then started singing Burning, without showing any sign of stopping.


    Su, just get on the stage. Let these foreigners know how amazing a Chinese female singer can be. Li Ming started urging Yan Su.


    Yeah, we cant be more damaged by that horrible singing of his. Ji Nuanyi agreed. As Yan Su was still hesitating, Ji Nuanyi held her wrist and stood up.


    At that moment, Tang Yueqi hurriedly walked onto the stage, picked up a free guitar and started ying.


    Yan Su could tell that she was pretty good at ying guitar.


    Standing on the stage together, she and Mo Liuxi looked like a perfect couple. One of them was cold, while the other was passionate.


    Yan Su stopped moving. It would be quite awkward if she went onto the stage at that moment.


    She stared at the stage, looking at the two. She felt it was hard to breathe as if there was a pile of rocks in her heart.


    She thought she was over him since long ago and felt she was disappointed in the person who hurt her with such awfulnguage. However, she was still sad when she saw him being so close to another girl.


    Su Ji Nuanyi looked at her with concern.


    I shouldnt interrupt them. Isnt the atmosphere perfect now? Yan Su pulled her hand out of Ji Nuanyis hand then went to the balcony, sitting down to rest.


    Shi Xiang stood up and followed behind her. However, a foreign actor caught him on the way and started a conversation with him.


    Yan Su spent a short while sitting behind the bar counter outside. Guys always wanted to talk to her, so in the end, she hid behind the fish tank to get some rest.


    A waiter put a cocktail on the table before her. She took a few sips, then heard Tang Yueqis voiceing from behind the fish tank. Mo Liuxi, Im fond of you. I really, really like you.


    She paused briefly with surprise, then through the fish tank, she saw the two of them holding each other.


    She felt as if her eyes were burning. She hurriedly turned away; her brain was nk for a moment. In a panic, she picked up the cocktail and took a few gulps.


    Im sorry. Youre not even a woman in my eyes. Mo Liuxis cold voice was heard.


    I know. Thats why I told you I like you. From this day on, you can start to see me as a woman, said Tang Yueqi with a smile. Ill be pursuing you.


    Im into boys. Im gay. Leave me alone. Mo Liuxi turned and walked away.


    Mo Liuxi, I dont care if youre into boys or girls. You will be mine! Tang Yueqi caught up with him.


    After watching the two of them leave, Yan Su slowly came out from behind the fish tank.


    Tang Yueqi was into Mo Liuxi. She had that figured out a long time ago. However, she was so nervous to hear Tang Yueqi tell that to Mo Liuxi, that her heart twitched.


    She thought Mo Liuxi would agree to be with Tang Yueqi. After all, she was sexy, pretty, generous and friendly. She was way better than An Ning.


    Perhaps he would be with a perfect girl like her sooner orter.

 Chapter 1334. Director Mo, You Are Right, Thank You for Your Invaluable Lesson

    Chapter 1334. Director Mo, You Are Right, Thank You for Your Invaluable Lesson


    Yan Su turned and walked towards the door.


    Everyone was probably staying until veryte. She just wanted some time to herself to cool down.


    Mo Liuxi spent some time shaking Tang Yueqi off his tail, so he didnt find Yan Su at the bar.


    He saw Shi Xiang sitting there, chatting with other men and enjoying himself. He hated Shi Xiang to the core. Didnt he like Yan Su? He should be by her side at all times.


    They were overseas. What if something happened to her? Yan Su really had the worst eye for men. He wondered what went through her mind.


    He walked around looking for her and ended up outside the bar.


    By the beach near the bar, Yan Su was wearing an embroidered denim jacket strolling on the rocky path lined by palm trees. She stopped at a street stall selling fruit and took her time looking around.


    Suddenly, a dark figure dashed past and grabbed her handbag.


    Yan Su instinctively clutched her bag tightly but the man was strong and she fell onto the floor with a loud thud. Her bones ached when shended.


    She panted painfully and before she could react, another man ran past her, chasing the thief.


    She was stunned; the man looked like Mo Liuxi.


    The thief was running on the pavement when he saw Mo Liuxi chasing after him. He hopped over the bushes and sprinted across the beach.


    Mo Liuxi followed after him like a lunatic. He quickly caught up with the thief and pounced on him.


    The two men were entangled in a hot mess. The robber tried to stand up and run off but Mo Liuxi wouldnt let him. He pressed down on him and threw angry punches. The thief was giving his all as he defended himself against Mo Liuxi.


    The tides were rising and the waves came crashing down on the both of them, soaking them through their clothes.


    Mo Liuxi wouldnt let him go. He climbed over him and pressed him into the sand until the man gave up and begged him to let him go. He threw the wallet and apologized in English.


    Whats the use of apologizing? You should be ashamed of stealing a womans wallet. Can you even call yourself a man? Mo Liuxi dragged him up the shore.


    Yan Su ran towards them. She saw Mo Liuxis hair and face were covered in sand and his clothes werepletely soaked through. She was shocked. You


    Mo Liuxi tossed the handbag to her; his gaze was cold. Call the police.


    Yan Su retrieved her phone and she felt a little out of ce. What number should I dial? Should I call the ambassadors office?


    Is it not enough being in the headlines yesterday? You want to be on the spread of the magazines again? Mo Liuxi asked her in sarcasm.


    Yan Su,


    Mo Liuxi grabbed her phone and called the police. After he told them the address, he tossed the phone back to her and said, Yan Su, what on earth were you thinking? How could you wander off on your own like this in the middle of the night? Did you think that Italy was a safe ce? Let me tell you, its only romantic here in shows. Its one of the most dangerous ces in all of Europe! Petty crimes and gangs are rampant here. There are so many Chinese tourists who get robbed here every single day. They always target tourists, plus its film festival peak season right now! There are so many thieves around.


    I cant believe you dont even know what number to dial to call the police. I really got to hand it to you.


    Mo Liuxi was getting angrier as he spoke.


    Yan Su was stunned after being shouted at.


    She had been grateful toward him but she was getting annoyed now. Director Mo, you are right. Thank you for your invaluable lesson. Yes, Ick safety awareness. I am terribly ashamed of my ignorance and naivety.

 Chapter 1335. It Was the Most Awful Kiss Ever

    Chapter 1335. It Was the Most Awful Kiss Ever


    Mo Liuxis blood was boiling now.


    Director Mo. She actually called him Director Mo.


    Yan Su, I cant believe you. You are so much older than me. How could you address me with seniority. Mo Liuxi smirked, then added, Elder Sister Yan


    Yan Su was livid now as well.


    Listen to him. He was calling her Big Sister Yan


    He was the same person who had called her little sister when they were still in a rtionship; the absolutely cheesiest.


    All of a sudden, the atmosphere was awkward.


    While the two of them were in a spat, the thief was on his knees begging Mo Liuxi to let him off.


    You want me to let you off? Arent you the least bit ashamed of robbing a woman? Mo Liuxi was in a foul mood; he kicked the man again.


    Soon the police arrived and arrested the man.


    The sea breeze was strong that night and Mo Liuxi sneezed and coughed. He was coughing so hard that his face was turning red.


    Yan Su felt guilty seeing him suffer. She would have been in a pickle if she really lost her bag tonight. She would have had no phone and no wallet in a foreign country


    She took off her denim jacket and offered it to him. Put this on, you already caught a cold.


    Im not cold. Mo Liuxi rejected the jacket; he was feeling frustrated as well. He didnt have to get so worked up. It was just a petty thief, and now he was all wet.


    Yan Su frowned. Mo Liuxi, you


    Why arent you calling me Director Mo now? Mo Liuxi interrupted her.


    Yan Su decided to give him orders. Take off your shirt.


    I dont want to. Mo Liuxi turned his back to her.


    Yan Su looked at his soaked back, then walked over to unbutton his shirt.


    When her warm hands touched his chest, Mo Liuxi looked down and jumped. He saw that her hands were bleeding and there were abrasions from the fall earlier.


    He frowned and grabbed her hands. Thinking about how she had fell on the ground, he regretted not beating up the man more.


    Let go, Yan Su said when he suddenly grabbed her heads.


    Yan Su was a little flustered. She forcefully withdrew her hands before she continued to unbutton his shirt, but Mo Liuxi stopped her.


    Yan Su, I dont need your jacket, Mo Liuxi said coldly.


    Yan Suughed. Please call me Big Sister Yan.


    Mo Liuxi was the one who was speechless this time.


    Mo Liuxi, I dont want to owe you anything. Youre like this because of me, Yan Su said with aplicated feeling.


    Mo Liuxi felt as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice water on him. He said sarcastically, Dont read too much into it. I didnt even know that it was you. I just saw that it was a woman and I would do that for anyone. Thats just how righteous I am.


    Yan Suughed. Well thank you for being righteous.


    She insisted on unbuttoning his shirt.


    Dont touch me. Mo Liuxi flicked her hands away in annoyance.


    Yan Sus hands froze and her lips trembled. Right. You always thought that I was dirty anyway. Should I ask Miss Tang toe over instead? Everyone can tell that she likes you.


    Mo Liuxis face was pale. Fine. Go get her right away then.


    Yan Su stared at him for a while before turning on her heel.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. He lost all of his reason in that second as he grabbed her face and nted a kiss on her lips.


    Yan Su was dizzy from the kiss; it was the most awful kiss ever.


    It wasnt passionate, tender or loving at all. All she tasted was sand and saltwater.

 Chapter 1336. Loved Kissing Her

    Chapter 1336. Loved Kissing Her


    The sand was rough between their lips.


    Yan Sus thin lips were hurting from the friction. There was sand in their mouths as well.


    But he was too strong. Yan Sus legs were weak from the kiss and she was already feeling light-headed from the drinks.


    Mo Liuxi started using more force and there had been a fire building within him over the past few days; there was nowhere to vent his frustrations.


    He hated the fact that she had to have a child with another man.


    Why did she have to betray him? Why couldnt he let it go after so long?


    He still loved kissing her so much.


    He struggled with the feelings within him; he felt agony and pain before he finally pushed her away. Yan Su stumbled backwards as she was in a daze and couldnt react. She was blushing, ring at him. Weve already broken up! Can you refrain from kissing me?


    Mo Liuxis lips were trembling. There was no way he was going to admit that he still had feelings for her. Im sorry. Its getting dark out here, so I mistook you for Tang Yueqi.


    Yan Su had never felt angrier in her life, not even when she broke up with Shi Xiang. She could no longer hold it in, so she tried to kicked him in the shin but since his trousers were wet, she missed and ended up kicking him in the groin.


    Mo Liuxi clutched his thighs together and red at her in disbelief.


    Yan Su was shocked and turned to run away.


    Mo Liuxi chased after her and grabbed her by her cor. Yan Su! You really have such a vicious heart. You already have a child. Are you trying to kick me and make me infertile? You dont want me to ever have my own child, do you?


    Yan Su thought that he already had a child, but he just didnt know it.


    You cant me me! You have a vicious tongue too. Yan Su stuttered. Since Miss Tang is so amazing, should I call her over so you can kiss her all you want?


    My balls are hurting now. Do you think I am in the mood for that? Mo Liuxi said through clenched teeth.


    Yan Su looked down and saw his pants were wet and sticking to his skin. His trousers were made of a thin material, so she could see the outline of his private area. It made her embarrassed. Er well, I think you should return to the hotel, in case your cold gets worse.


    Youre asking me to go back alone? Mo Liuxi said.


    Fine, Ill walk with you, all right? Yan Su had no choice.


    Mo Liuxi grunted coldly. We disappeared together. What would others think? What would your Shi Xiang think?


    Im only friends with Shi Xiang now. Yan Su was annoyed that he always drew a connection between her and Shi Xiang. I think youre more concerned about your Miss Tang.


    You finally wizened up, Mo Liuxi said angrily.


    Yan Su frowned. Well then, you should call Miss Tang to see you to your room.


    Im in this state because of you. How could you just walk away like this? I didnt take you for such an ungrateful person. Mo Liuxi stared at her.


    Yan Su looked around helplessly. She suddenly remembered there was a menswear shop nearby. I think theres a shop nearby where we can get you a fresh set of clothes.


    You pay for it, Mo Liuxi said coldly.


    Yan Su was speechless. You took all of my money from my wallet this afternoon.


    Pay by card then. You can pay by card anywhere now, Mo Liuxi said casually. Im going to spend every penny of my wealth on my wife in the future.

 Chapter 1337. Im Your… Im Your Ex-Boyfriend

    Chapter 1337. I''m Your�� I''m Your Ex-Boyfriend


    Fine, fine. You told me that before. I already know. Yan Su turned to leave.


    He used to say that all the time, even when they were together. It seemed like he would never change.


    After walking for about 10 minutes, Yan Su found the menswear shop.


    They were on a tourist ind where an international film festival was about to take ce. Although it wasnt a luxury brand, one could tell from the shop disy that the apparel wasnt cheap.


    Yan Su hesitated.


    She had just bought a house, she had a new baby and she only just started working.


    Mo Liuxi didnt even give her a chance to reconsider as he walked into the store. The clothes look pretty decent here.


    Good taste, sir. The shopkeeper walked up and greeted him with a smile. Our clothes are all hand-sewn by the best tailors in Italy. The buttons and embroidery work are all hand-sewn. Many celebrities that are attending the film festival, buy from our store.


    Mo Liuxi looked around and picked up a smart casual outfit in a checkered pattern. The jacket was matched with a checkered shirt inside. This set looks good.


    This is from thetest autumn collection that our designer brought out. The shopkeeper smiled. Your body looks perfect, so this would look fantastic on you. It will go well with a pair of dark-wash denim jeans.


    This set then. Mo Liuxi nodded his head and gestured to Yan Su.


    Sorry how much is it? Yan Su asked in trepidation.


    The shopkeeper looked at the price tag and said, The set costs 6,999 euros.


    Yan Su felt faint. It would cost over 50,000 RMB.


    Are you converting the price? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Nope. Yan Su shook her head. Its too expensive. Is there anything cheaper? Hmm.. anything below 5000 dors.


    Mo Liuxi,


    The shopkeepers expression was a little tense now. Im sorry. All of our shirts are above that price range. If you turn right down the street, there might be a marketce but its likely to be closed at this hour.


    Yan Su frowned while Mo Liuxi turned to look at her. Yan Su, youre a celebrity arent you? You earn way more than this in a single day. Do you have to be so stingy? Im your Im your ex-boyfriend, and Ive ended up in water twice because of you. I got your wallet back as well. Your wallet would cost at least a hundred thousand dors. Am I right?


    This is sponsored by apany. Yan Su sighed. She thought about how she had to spend money on her daughter that month as well as her daughters father. What a pair of leeches. I feel heartache thinking about spending 50,000 dors on you.


    Mo Liuxi,


    He shouldnt have helped this woman. He was getting angry and cleared his throat violently.


    The shopkeeper could tell they were both Asian celebrities and said, Sir, if you dont change out of your wet clothes soon, youll catch a cold and end up in the hospital.


    Yan Su was annoyed and said, Im sorry, could you pick the cheapest pair of pants and shirt? Well skip the jacket. The weather isnt too cold at the moment.


    Mo Liuxi opened his mouth to protest but Yan Su quickly said, If youre not happy with the arrangements, I can give you ten thousand dors and you can buy whatever you like. Youll just have to take care of the remaining bnce yourself. Im sure Director Mo doesntck money.


    Mo Liuxi replied sadly after a while, Yan Su, when did you be so be so


    Stingy? Is that the word youre looking for? Yan Su looked down. I bought a house and I have to support my child. I need some savings. Who knows what will happen to me in this industry?

 Chapter 1338. She Didnt Expect Him to Notice Them

    Chapter 1338. She Didn''t Expect Him to Notice Them


    Mo Liuxi felt a tightness in his chest.


    He wanted to tell her that she deserved it. She was the one who chose to keep the child.


    He changed his mind as soon as he looked at her again. He couldnt bring himself to say it


    Are you a fool? Why dont you ask the father to pay for the child? Even if its illegitimate, it is his responsibility to financially support the child, Mo Liuxi said through clenched teeth.


    Yan Su was shocked. After keeping silent for a while, she looked up and stared into his eyes. You are right, but I dont know if the childs father is mature enough. I dont know if he can give my child love and happiness.


    What do you mean by that? Mo Liuxi red at her; he felt nauseated. Are you still waiting for the childs father?


    No, Yan Su looked away and started searching for the shopkeeper.


    The shopkeeper had already found the cheapest set. It was an orange pair of pants and a white shirt with a red cor. The shopkeeper also brought out a pair of blue canvas shoes.


    Mo Liuxis expression was grim. This is so ugly. I dont ever wear bright colors like these. Its orange, red and blue.


    The shopkeepermented with, This is already the cheapest. It would be $12,000 in total.


    I think it looks quite nice. Yan Su tried her best to be enthusiastic. Look at how youthful you look. You have a good body and nice features. You can definitely pull this off.


    It wouldnt matter if someone else had said this to him, but this wasing from Yan Su


    Mo Liuxi raised his prideful chin. He was rather pleased when he heard herpliments. Do you mean it?


    Of course. Yan Su nodded her head. Besides thest statement, she meant what she said earlier.


    All right then, forget it. Lets get this set. Its not easy for you, but you deserve it. Mo Liuxi grabbed the set and went into the changing room.


    When he came out of the changing room and looked into the mirror, he didnt know what to feel.


    He had never worn so many colors at one time in the twenty-one years of his life.


    It looks so nice. Yan Su appeared behind him. The bright colors dont look like theyre shing at all.


    Mo Liuxi felt embarrassed looking into her eyes.


    She had neverplimented him like this in the past when they were still together. Did she really have to go this far just to save some money?


    Fine. He would relent on her ount.


    All right then, Mo Liuxi said casually.


    Yan Su breathed a sigh of relief and paid the bill.


    When they walked back towards the bar, they passed by a pharmacy and Mo Liuxi said, Buy me some medication.


    She had to spend more money? Yan Su sighed. I thought Miss Tang bought you medication already?


    The water ruined all of them, Mo Liuxi said. God wont even let you bully me. Its fate that you have to buy my medication.


    Who was getting bullied at the moment?


    Yan Su had no choice but to walk into the pharmacy. Mo Liuxi followed behind her, and after he told the pharmacist his symptoms, he asked for an additional pack of bandages.


    Youre hurt? Yan Su looked at him.


    Yeah Mo Liuxi turned.


    After Yan Su paid the bill, she handed him the bag of supplies.


    Mo Liuxi took the box of bandages and tossed it to her. Dress your wounds on your hands.


    He walked out of the shop quickly.


    Yan Su was stunned and stared at her hands. She had already forgotten about her abrasions from earlier. She didnt expect him to notice them.


    Yan Su was ovee with a wave of emotions as she watched him exit the store.

 Chapter 1339. A Mans Secret

    Chapter 1339. A Man''s Secret


    She couldnt figure this man out. He made her feel like she was in a pot of honey when he was good to her, but he was unbearable when he was mean.


    She couldnt see him with rity.


    Maybe she was bad at judging character in the first ce.


    When they were almost at the bar, Mo Liuxi suddenly stopped. You go in there first.


    Yan Su understood his meaning. The two of them were already the center of attention. It would be highly suggestive and suspicious if they appeared together. Oh right. Why did youe out here anyway?


    Mo Liuxi froze for a second before he looked at her. A mans secret.


    Yan Su regretted asking him the question. She should have just minded her own business.


    She walked into the bar.


    Some were singing, some were chatting at the bar and some people were ying games.


    When Yan Su walked in, Shi Xiang walked over to her immediately. Where did you go? I looked around the bar for you. I was just going out to find you.


    I just wanted to get some fresh air outside. Yan Su sat down and grabbed the cup on the table.


    Ji Nuanyi looked at the bandage on her hands and asked, You injured your hands?


    I fell, Yan Su said casually.


    Shi Xiang frowned. Were in a foreign ce. Dont go out alone in the future. Itll be troublesome if you bumped into an obsessive fan.


    All right.


    Tang Yueqi walked over. Miss Yan, have you seen Liuxi around?


    Yan Su looked up at Tang Yueqi in the dim light and said, Nope.


    Thank you. Tang Yueqi walked away.


    Yan Su looked down. She had a feeling that Tang Yueqi could sense that something was up.


    Since he always had women around, his girls always had otherpetitors.


    After about ten minutes, Mo Liuxi walked in with his mboyant outfit. He immediately garnered stares in the room.


    Li Ming nearly spat out his drink when he saw him. Why did you change your outfit kid? Are you all right? Whats up with this look?


    Ji Nuanyi was holding back a giggle. Youre really standing out with the orange and red. How did youe up with this?


    Yan Su felt sheepish as everyone made their remarks.


    Mo Liuxi nced over at Yan Su and said, I was out just now when I saw someone get robbed. I thought Id be a good Samaritan and chase after the thief. I fell into the sea because of that and I had to buy a new set of clothes.


    The sea again, Ji Nuanyi looked at him with a curious expression. You have an odd fate with the sea here in Venice.


    Indeed, Mo Liuxi said coolly.


    They partied tillte that night.


    When Yan Su returned to the hotel, she was exhausted.


    After she showered and got ready for bed, she realized that Mo Liuxi had added her on WeChat.


    Yan Su had deleted his contact information when they broke up. She had mixed feelings when she saw his request.


    Should she ept it? After all, he was Yan Yans father. If she added him, would they be entangled again?


    Would it make thingsplicated again? She would decide the next day. She put her phone down and went to bed.


    After sleeping for three hours, her phone started ringing.


    She had thought it was some emergency from work or at home, but when she looked at the caller ID, it was an unsaved number. She recognized the number though. It was Mo Liuxi.


    Her heart was pounding when she picked up. Hello, who is this?

 Chapter 1340. He Looked Weak Like a Boy and She Had the Urge to Take Care of Him

    Chapter 1340. He Looked Weak Like a Boy and She Had the Urge to Take Care of Him


    Yan Su, you dont even recognize my number anymore? a hoarse voice said over the receiver. She could tell that he was angry. Im your ex-boyfriend.


    Yan Su was stressed out. Did he have to emphasize the fact that he was her ex?


    She yawned and tried to sound as tired as possible. Its sote what are you calling me for? Dont you have to sleep?


    How can I sleep? Mo Liuxi said weakly. I have a fever.


    Yan Su sat up and stroked her long hair. Have you measured your body temperature?


    Not yet, but Im feeling all weak and my body is very warm. Mo Liuxi sounded a little breathless over the phone. Im sure I have a fever.


    I thought you had medication? Yan Su wasnt feeling sleepy anymore. Do you want me to call an ambnce?


    I know how to call the ambnce myself. Mo Liuxi coughed. I want you toe over and take care of me. Pour me water and everything.


    Would that help him get better?


    Dont misread this, I dont want you around, Mo Liuxi said. Im not like you. I dont have a team following me around and I dont even have an assistant. I cant even call the production crew over. I really shouldnt have asked but you were the reason why Im ill. My room number is 302.


    He hung up before Yan Su could get in a single word.


    She looked at the time; it was four in the morning.


    Jiaojiao had a long day and she couldnt bear to disturb her. She called the front desk and asked for an antipyretic and a coldpress.


    Luckily the hotel was well-equipped. Yan Su walked over and knocked on the door. A minuteter, the door opened, and Mo Liuxi was standing in the doorway. His handsome face was flushed red, his breathing ragged and his lips chapped. He red at her and said, What took you so long? Are you trying to get me killed and get my inheritance?


    Yan Su,


    He was seriously ill.


    Im not your wife. How will I benefit from killing you? She was speechless.


    Dont change the topic. Mo Liuxi leaned against the wall and panted.


    It was the first time she saw him so weak and sick. She sighed. She couldnt bear to watch him suffer like this so she gave him the medication. I asked for some medication from the front desk. Why dont you go to the hospital? What if you be a retard from the fever?


    Come in, dont stand at the door. Mo Liuxi pulled her in before climbing into his bed. Heid down and closed his eyes. Hisshes were long, and his cheeks were red from the fever.


    He looked weak as a boy and she suddenly had the urge to take care of him.


    Yan Su felt pathetic at the moment. She hadpletely let go of all her grievances against him for all the mean things he had previously said to her.


    He was in this state because of her though.


    Yan Su sighed and approached him; she put her hand on his forehead to feel his temperature. She felt that he was burning, so she grabbed a warm towel to wipe his face and neck. She then put a coldpress on his forehead before she poured a ss of warm water for him to have his medication.


    I dont have the strength Mo Liuxi said weakly. He could barely open his eyes.


    Yan Su thought about how everyone was the same when they were ill, no matter how they were normally.


    She had to support his head and feed him the medication with the water.


    Mo Liuxi leaned against her chest. She was wearing her pajamas and he could tell that she was wearing a bra, but her breasts felt hard. It wasnt as soft as before, and she had a soft pleasant scent around her. It smelt like milk.


    He was uninhibited at that moment, the fever and the medication had made him groggy. He asked, Why are your breasts so hard?

 Chapter 1341. Serves You Right, You Were the One Who Decided to Keep the Baby

    Chapter 1341. Serves You Right, You Were the One Who Decided to Keep the Baby


    Yan Su,


    The atmosphere was tense.


    Yan Su was embarrassed and angry at the same time as she pushed his head aside.


    Mo Liuxinded on his pillow with a thud and groaned in pain. He already had a headache and it made it worse.


    Yan Su, are you trying to kill me here? Mo Liuxi tried his best to widen his eyes in anger even though he was depleted of energy.


    Yan Su was blushing and stared at him angrily. You hooligan!


    She shouldnt havee after all. He was still trying to take advantage of her even though he was ill.


    Why am I the hooligan? Mo Liuxi was indignant.


    No one would admit to it of course. Yan Su snickered.


    It is very hard. Mo Liuxi was annoyed. Why would a womans breast be rock hard? Do you have mastitis or a breast tumor?


    Afterward, he couldnt help but feel worried about her. Although he hated her, he didnt want her to be unwell or ill.


    Yan Su wanted to crawl underneath his bed, but she could tell that he didnt mean to offend her by the look on his face. He might be too young to understand how things were like as a mother. After all, he was still in school and unmarried.


    No, Im fine, thank you. Yan Su put down the cup and turned to walk away.


    Mo Liuxi managed with all his strength to grab her wrist and looked at her seriously. Yan Su, Im not joking. There are many gynecological diseases. Dont miss the window for treatment out of embarrassment. Since we weve dated before I can arrange for you to see a doctor in Xia City. I wont tell anyone about it.


    Yan Su was stunned and was warmed as well. But she was still embarrassed talking about such things, I no I just had a child. Im breastfeeding. Do you get it?


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. When he finally connected the dots, his face turned even redder.


    When he thought about the child, he felt like someone poured a bucket of ice water on him.


    His heart ached and he felt dizzy.


    At the end of the day, it was that pesky, abominable child again.


    Serves you right since you were the one who decided to keep the baby. I hope it swells even more. He grunted and turned his back against her.


    He changed his attitude so quickly that Yan Su felt a little taken aback.


    She stood up again to leave but Mo Liuxi turned to say, Youre not allowed to leave. What if your medication doesnt work? What if I pass out from the fever? Im so young. You cant let anything happen to me.


    I wasnt going to leave. Im going to change the water. Yan Su thought about how people always said that men acted like children when they were ill.


    Mo Liuxi was no exception, no matter how mean and nasty he usually was.


    After she changed the water, Yan Su was exhausted and sat on the sofa to rest.


    Before Mo Liuxi fell asleep, he suddenly said, Yan Su, dont your breasts hurt? Do you usually just endure the pain?


    Yan Su covered her face with a pillow. She didnt want to talk about this with her ex-boyfriend in the middle of the night.


    Can you just go to sleep? Yan Su replied feebly.


    Im just worried about you, Mo Liuxi said. Although Im not familiar with such things, its a lot like a balloon isnt it? If you keep pumping air into it, it will eventually burst.


    I will express the milk in my own time. Yan Su knew that he wouldnt let things go if she didnt exin it to him. She continued saying, I have a pumper at home but I couldnt bring it over here. I dont want people to know about it either so I squeeze manually.

 Chapter 1342. What Are You Doing in My Bed?

    Chapter 1342. What Are You Doing in My Bed?


    Mo Liuxi was confused. Why is it still so hard if youre expressing milk?


    Yan Su,


    The topic of the conversation was making her extremely ufortable.


    It takes a while to express milk manually, and I dont have much time while Im here.


    It must hurt a lot then. Its like carrying two rocks, Mo Liuxi remarked.


    Yea.


    Good.


    She didnt know what to say. Mo Liuxi, Im going back if you are going to continue this. Just go to sleep.


    Mo Liuxi grunted then he was silent. He was feeling tired and very ill.


    He fell asleep very quickly.


    Yan Su didnt want to sleep, but she would eventually nod off before she would suddenly wake up to take his temperature. She also changed his coldpress every half an hour.


    He was in a deep sleep and his lips were pursed into a thin line. Even asleep, he looked elegant and handsome. He looked a lot gentler in this state; his features were beautiful.


    If only he could stay like this forever.


    Yan Su sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his face. He looked a lot like Yan Yan. The old saying that girls resembled their dads was true after all.


    She hoped that Yan Yan would have a different personality from him; a girl had to be gentle.


    She couldnt help but smile at the thought. She continued staring at him until she identally fell asleep.


    In the early morning, Mo Liuxi opened his eyes painfully. Yan Sus small pretty face was just a fist away from his. Her small nose, pretty lips, and her smooth hair; she was a beauty, a quiet serene kind of beauty.


    He used to see it all the time when he woke up.


    He was surprised that he hadnt woke up to this face for half a year now. It felt almost like a dream to him.


    He had often pictured himself sleeping together with her, but every time he reached out, it was just thin air.


    He wondered if it was just his imagination this time as well. He tentatively reached out, very carefully touching her face.


    At this moment, Yan Su twitched and gasped ufortably as she clutched her breasts. She was frowning in her sleep.


    Mo Liuxi was taken aback. He remembered what they were talking about the night before. It might be thectation causing her difort.


    He wondered how swollen she was.


    He gently lifted the cor away from her chest and peeked in. She was lying on her side and the cor wasrge, so it was easy for him to look in. The vein over her chest was prominent.


    He was shocked. Although he said that she deserved it the night before, he felt bad for her now.


    Ding dong.


    The doorbell rang and Yan Sus eyshes fluttered.


    Mo Liuxi quickly retracted his hands and pretended as if he had just woken up. He rubbed his eyes in shock and red at Yan Su. What are you doing in my bed?


    Yan Su was stunned but she quickly stood up. Blushing, she said, I was changing your towelst night and I fell asleep by ident.


    Mo Liuxi grunted. Im only letting you off on the ount that you took care of mest night.


    The doorbell was ringing more urgently now so Yan Su quickly walked over and looked into the peephole. Its Tang Yueqi.


    What is she doing here? Mo Liuxi was annoyed; she had just disturbed his sleep with Yan Su.


    Shes obviously here to look for you. Shes probably worried about you since you caught a cold. Yan Su looked around. Itll be impossible to exin ourselves if she sees me in your room in the morning. I should hide.


    She finally went into the walk-in wardrobe and hid.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and went to open the door. He looked at Tang Yueqi coldly and said, What do you want?

 Chapter 1343. For Free

    Chapter 1343. For Free


    Tang Yueqi was wearing a sexy dress and a cardigan; she looked just a little sexy. Are you feeling better? You still sound a little hoarse.


    Yeah, I want to rest a bit more, Mo Liuxi said. You go ahead for breakfast.


    Do you want me to bring you some? Tang Yueqi asked worryingly.


    Its fine.


    How can you skip breakfast? Tang Yueqi said suddenly. Are you put off because I confessed to youst night? Dont worry Liuxi. Although Ie off strong, I would never force myself on you. I hope we can still be friends.


    You? Mo Liuxi raised his brows. Forget it. I dont need you to bring me food. Ill head downter after I rest for a bit.


    He quickly shut the door on Tang Yueqis face.


    Yan Su walked out from the closet as she heard the door close. She looked at him strangely. Your lovely Miss Tang is here to see you. Is it ok to shut her out like this?


    Shes not my lovely. Mo Liuxi frowned.


    Yan Su rolled her eyes and said coldly, Thats not what you saidst night. You told me that you mistook me for Tang Yueqi when you kissed mest night.


    Mo Liuxi smirked. Havent you heard the lyrics of the song before? There are many storms to weather in life. You need not live in the past.


    Yan Su,


    Was that how the song lyrics should be applied to real life? She couldnt bring herself to agree with him.


    Yan Su fought back giggles. Have you been spending time with your brother-inw recently?


    He was sounding more and more like Nian Junting.


    Him? Mo Liuxi looked disgusted. What fun is there hanging out with an old man like him?


    Yan Su sighed. Are you feeling better? Its daytime now, so you can go to the hospital if youre still not feeling well. Im going back now. I didnt get to sleep muchst night and I have to get ready for makeupter at 10:00 a.m. We have to attend the movie premiereter and I have to get ready for the red carpet at the theatre.


    Mo Liuxi looked at the time. It was already 8:30 a.m. What about your breakfast?


    Ill skip it. Yan Su waved her hands and walked to the door.


    Before she could reach for the handle, Mo Liuxi pulled her to him. She was stunned as she stared into his handsome face that was scrunched in a frown; her heart was beating fast. Anything else?


    Yan Su, express the milk properly. Mo Liuxis expression was serious as he said awkwardly, Its not good to be so swollen for a long time.


    Yan Sus head was about to explode talking about it again. She really wanted to bite him. Thank you for your concern. I will do as ordingly.


    Mo Liuxi cleared his throat. Im serious.


    Im serious too. Yan Su wanted to cry.


    If its too difficult to squeeze I can sacrifice myself and suck it for you, Mo Liuxi said after a long while. For free.


    Yan Sus head was buzzing and she finally said, Get lost.


    When she left, she kicked him before exiting the room.


    She mmed the door hard and Mo Liuxi rubbed his calf in pain. He was angry. He was being generous and forgiving when he offered to do that for her. How dare she kick him like this?


    Well, she would just suffer on her own then.


    He refused to sympathize with her.


    However, he couldnt help but google the variousplications of a swollen breast. The more he read, the more he became worried.


    Yan Su better not ruin her health.

 Chapter 1344. Mo Liuxi Read Her Lips —‘You Deserve It

    Chapter 1344. Mo Liuxi Read Her Lips ����You Deserve It''


    It might lead to fever and inmmation or possibly surgery, in the worst-case scenario.


    Mo Liuxi read thements from some women. Many said it was indescribably painful.


    She wont be asking for Shi Xiang for help in the end, will she? Mo Liuxi thought.


    Thinking of Shi Xiangs face, he wanted so much to stomp his foot on that man again and again.


    Yan Su returned to her room. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to go back and punch Mo Liuxi in the face.


    Howe he was bing more and more brazen?


    Free of charge? Why didnt he start a new career as a professional human breast pump?


    What a nasty human being.


    Her swollen breasts were extremely painful, so the first thing she did after returning to her room was to pump the milk and give her breasts a hotpress.


    Soon, Jiaojiao came to her room. I was here half an hour ago. You werent here. She looked at Yan Su suspiciously.


    I went for breakfast, Yan Su lied. She was starving.


    But I went to breakfast too and didnt see you. Jiaojiao looked at her and sighed. You didnt go to see Mr. Mo, did you?


    Yan Su had no choice but to tell her the truth, He has a fever because of me. I had no choice.


    You two Jiaojiao didnt know what to say. No one saw you, right?


    Yan Su shook her head.


    Be careful, said Jiaojiao. Ill go get you some breakfast. The makeup artist is on the way. You didnt sleep wellst night, so youre gonna need heavier makeup today.


    Yan Su almost copsed, feeling as if she was attending a fashion week instead of a film festival. She had to spend hours on her makeup every day. Being a woman could be tedious at times.


    Tonight, she would be walking the red carpet for the screening of Director Lis new film. What she wore today was a ck evening dress. After lunch, she went downstairs and got into the ferry.


    Mo Liuxi was thest one toe downstairs. He was wearing a well-cut dark green suit that made him look devastatingly handsome.


    Yan Su didnt look at him though but dropped her head to look at her phone.


    However, shortly after the ferry left, she started feeling sick. She dropped her phone but didnt feel better.


    At that moment, Mo Liuxi who was sitting diagonally in front of her, abruptly said to Lu Tao, Mr. Lu, you have some ginger, dont you? Can I have a piece? Im feeling seasick.


    Really? You were okay yesterday. Lu Tao handed him a pack of ginger.


    Mo Liuxi ate two slices, then threw the pack to Yan Ziqian, who was in front of him, and said, Would you like some?


    Im not seasick. Yang Ziqian shook her head.


    Give it back to Mr. Lu then. Mo Liuxi turned to look at the sea.


    Yang Ziqian ate a slice, then asked Ji Nuanyi if she wanted some. Ji Nuanyi politely took the pack of ginger and asked Yan Su if she needed some.


    Yan Su was feeling unwell, so she had a few slices. After swallowing the ginger, she felt much better, and soon the sour tasteing from her throat was gone.


    Ji Nuanyi blinked, nced at Yan Su and then at Mo Liuxi, and curved her lips in a faint smile, seemingly figuring something out.


    Some Chinese reporters were scattering near the red carpet before the movie theater. Several foreign reporters were there too, but not as many as yesterday.


    Director Lis new film, which had arge international audience, would be screened in the movie theater in the afternoon.


    The crew walked through the red carpet. Mo Liuxi and Yan Su had to walk arm in arm. On the red carpet, Mo Liuxi nced at Yan Su. His eyes automaticallynded on her chest. However, it was wrapped tightly in her dress so that he couldnt see anything.


    Yan Su felt his gaze and pinched his arm hard.


    Mo Liuxi was agitated.


    Yan Su slightly moved her lips without making any sound. However, Mo Liuxi read her lips. She was sayingYou deserve it.

 Chapter 1345. He Would Not Let Shi Xiang Get What He Wants

    Chapter 1345. He Would Not Let Shi Xiang Get What He Wants


    Who deserved what? Mo Liuxi grumpily stayed silent.


    In the theater, people started picking out their seats. Yan Su let go of Mo Liuxis arm and sat down next to Ji Nuanyi. Shi Xiang sat on her other side.


    B*stard. Mo Liuxis eyes almost emittedser rays to burn Yan Su and Shi Xiang.


    Li Ming dragged him to the side and warned him, Control your eyes.


    What did I do? Am I not looking at the screen all the time? said Mo Liuxi, visibly upset.


    Li Ming snorted, Youre facing the screen, but youve been sneakily looking at Yan Su the entire time. Isnt that obvious enough? There are reporters behind us. Get a grip. You directed this film, too!


    Since I directed it, Im not worried. Im confident about my abilities, Mo Liuxi said casually. He was so dammed cocky. Besides, I can afford to lose. Im still young.


    I find you more and more a pain in the butt. Whom are you like? Li Ming discretely kept his voice down.


    Im in a rotten mood. Mo Liuxi left him a few words.


    Li Ming sighed in frustration. But seeing Shi Xiang and Yan Su whispering to each other made him feel sorry for Mo Liuxi, who was more than a little jealous.


    As soon as the movie started, the audience instantly fell silent.


    Yan Su didnt appear in the film, but she got so excited when the theme music yed during the opening credits. After all, her song was yed in front of the judges and audiences from across the globe. She was thrilled beyond words when she heard peopleplimenting her voice and the song in English. After all, foreigners had different tastes in musicpared to Chinese people. As a singer, she wanted her songs to be enjoyed by everyone across the globe.


    Su, your voice shocked me, Shi Xiang said with a bitter smile. Im a singer too, but I cant sing your songs. Your high-pitch reached C6, didnt it?


    Not so high, said Yan Su shaking her head modestly. Only G5. I used some bel canto skills.


    Im impressed, said Shi Xiang.


    My teacher taught me that when I was in college, said Yan Su.


    Shi Xiang understood. He went to Korea to start his career at a very young age. He didnt spend any time studying seriously in college and only went through the motions and got a degree.


    When it came to music, he wasnt half as serious as she was.


    About one and a half hours into the movie, Yan Sus breast-swelling worsened.


    Su, would you like some water? Ji Nuanyi asked, offering a bottle of water.


    Yan Su shook her head and motioned that she was okay. She didnt dare to drink any water the entire day, even though she felt as if her throat was burning at the moment.


    You hardly drank any water. Thats amazing, Ji Nuanyi said with admiration.


    Im going to thedies room. Yan Su stood up to leave.


    buuurrr buuurrr. Less than a minuteter, Shi Xiangs phone started vibrating, and he left the room to take the call.


    Watching the two of them leave, Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes. Those eyes of his were like a pair of daggers.


    Why did they leave one after the other? What were they doing?


    Yan Su didnt ask Shi Xiang for help, did she?


    Damn it.


    Mo Liuxi clenched his fists.


    He couldnt even picture that scene in his head.


    Can you please stop twisting like a maggot? Li Mingined.


    Mo Liuxi ignored him and stomped out quickly, only to find Yan Su and Shi Xiang walking into a corner.


    How shameless they are! How dare they do something like that in the middle of the day? I wont let Shi Xiang get what he wants!

 Chapter 1346. Take Your Hand off Her, or Ill Chop It Off

    Chapter 1346. Take Your Hand off Her, or I''ll Chop It Off


    Mo Liuxi walked in their direction. In the corner, Shi Xiang was standing upright, with his back to Mo Liuxi. Yan Su was about a foot shorter than he was, and it looked as if she was curling in his chest.


    B*stard


    Mo Liuxi lurched toward them and pulled Shi Xiang backward.


    Taken by surprise, Shi Xiang thudded against the wall, momentarily stunned. When he saw Mo Liuxi, he grew agitated. Mo Liuxi, whats your problem, man? he yelled.


    I think you have a problem. Are you two aware of what ce this is? If we werent at a film festival, Id punch you in the face. Youve been disgusting me for a long time. Mo Liuxi red at Shi Xiang, warned him, then turned and grabbed Yan Su, who was still confused, and walked away.


    Stop! Mo Liuxi, where are you taking her? Mo Liuxi was so angry he was frothing at the mouth. Shi Xiang worried he might hurt Yan Su, so he instinctively held onto her other arm.


    Take your hand off her, or Ill chop it off. Mo Liuxis dark eyes were smoldering with indignation. He warned Shi Xiang word by word, through clenched teeth.


    Shi Xiang, dont worry. He wont hurt me. Im just going to talk to him, Yan Su was rattledand furious at Mo Liuxi for making a big scene, especially when there might be reporters nosing around. Oh, wouldnt they have a field day with this little outburst? She told Shi Xiang to go back to the theater in case the reporters noticed they were both gone.


    On hearing that, Shi Xiang let go of her reluctantly. He was still worried, so he said, Mo Liuxi, if you hurt her, Ill make you pay.


    You? Mo Liuxi snorted. Then he held Yan Sus arm and stormed off in a huff.


    Looking at their backs, Shi Xiang felt so frustrated. Yan Su was his girlfriend once, but now he didnt have a chance in hell of pursuing her again.


    And it was all Jin Yons fault. He would kill that woman.


    Yan Su was wearing heels. She stumbled all the way when Mo Liuxi pulled her forward. If they hadnt been right behind the movie theater, she would have screamed at him. But the area was guarded by the security officers and other staff.


    Mo Liuxi dragged her into the VIP lounge. People were all watching the movie, so the room was empty.


    He thought for a moment, then locked the door and dragged her into the bathroom.


    Wh-what are you doing? Yan Sus heart was racing when he did that. She was a woman after all. He was very strong, and she had no chance of defending herself if he assaulted her.


    Just when she mustered the courage to beg him to stop, she lost her nerve.


    What do you think Im doing? Mo Liuxi looked down at her and said, Take it off.


    What Yan Su thought she misheard him.


    I said, take off your dress, Mo Liuxi ordered her through gritted teeth.


    Are you insane? Yan Su was trembling in fear. She turned to open the door.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed her wrist, pulled her toward him, stared at her, and barked, Yan Su, Im telling you, you are not going to ask Shi Xiang to solve your breast-swelling problem. Just forget about it. I dont care whats your current rtionship with him. I wont allow you to flirt with each other under my watch.


    What are you talking about? Panic mmed against Yan Su.


    Dont you know what Im talking about? Mo Liuxi sneered, What were you two doing in that corner just now? Do you think I dont know? Have you no decency or shame?

 Chapter 1347. Which Rule Says a Man Cant Take Care of His Ex-girlfriend?

    Chapter 1347. Which Rule Says a Man Can''t Take Care of His Ex-girlfriend?


    Yan Su blinked. She was so appalled it took her a while to process Mo Liuxis words.


    Youre not thinking Shi Xiang was helping me to


    Well, wasnt he? Mo Liuxi interrupted, his chest heaving. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.


    Yan Sus rage exploded. She swung her handbag with all her might and hit Mo Liuxi in the face.


    How dare you! Mo Liuxi wasnt expecting her to attack him. After suffering a few hits on the face, he grabbed her wrists to restrain her. Yan Su, dont think I wouldnt hesitate to


    To what? What do you want to do to me, huh? You disgusting man, she sputtered. Never had she been so angry at someone. Every time she looked at him, it felt as if the violence buried deep in her heart was rising to the surface. Did you see Shi Xiang and me doing that? I didnt even unzip my dress. Do you see any folds?


    Completely dumbfounded, Mo Liuxi dropped his gaze to the floor, surprised to hear her scolding him. He carefully looked at her chest. Her dress, which had a tight, high neck, looked immacte. It didnt seem to have been unzipped.


    What were you two doing in that corner then?


    I wanted to use the bathroom, but I didnt have any issues, so I asked him if he had any, Yan Su said through clenched teeth.


    Mo Liuxi blinked. Then why were you hiding in the corner if you were only asking him for a tissue?


    I didnt want anyone to see us. Didnt you say the reporters were sniffing around for dirt on Shi Xiang and me? Yan Su was so mad she startedughing. Youre a director. You have such a great imagination. You convicted me without a shred of evidence.


    Mo Liuxi rubbed his nose, feeling a little awkward. Yeah, well, maybe I did misunderstand her. Yeah, well, maybe my behavior was over the top.


    With a sad sile, Yan Su continued talking, Or, Im probably a foul woman in your eyesdirty, as youve often said.


    Mo Liuxi stood there, still staring at the floor.


    He wasnt happy to feel the disappointment in her eyes. Thats not what I meant. I was just worried you might ask Shi Xiangs help if you felt too ufortable.


    Even if I did, thats none of your business. May I remind you that our rtionship is done. Over. Finito, Yan Su snapped.


    Mo Liuxi felt very embarrassed. She was right. But his heart just went crazy whenever he was around her. We broke up, but so what? Which rule said a man couldnt take care of his ex-girlfriend? Whichw says that? Which specificw says that huh? Tell me.


    Yan Sus heart lurched up in her throat and out of her mouth, yet she managed to keep her calm. You sound unreasonable. Im not aw student. How am I supposed to know? Awyer would be able to answer that question for you, she said, knowing howme she sounded.


    Im sorry, theres nowyer here. Mo Liuxi took a step forward, put his hands on the wall, and trapped Yan Su between his arms. Were alone now, his voice was dry and deep. The sealed room added to the slightly seductive atmosphere.


    Being shrouded in the light aromaing from Mo Liuxis body, Yan Su was dazed a little. She raised her head and looked deep into his eyes. She felt trapped between his arms, her heart racing.


    Im done talking to you. Im leaving. She pushed his chest hard but failed to push him away. Mo Liuxi


    You didnte out to use the bathroom. Youre going to milk, arent you? Mo Liuxi said.


    Can you stop thinking about that? Yan Su felt both embarrassed and irritated.


    You didnt even dare to drink any water, Mo Liuxi continued.


    Youre right. So what? Whats that got to do with you? Yan Su had reached the limits of her endurance.


    It has everything to do with me. Youre not allowed to ask Shi Xiang for help. So I decided to help you myself.

 Chapter 1348. Yan Su, How Could You Do That after I Helped You!

    Chapter 1348. Yan Su, How Could You Do That after I Helped You!


    Mo Liuxis earlobes reddened when he said those words. However, to keep anxiety at bay, he had already made up his mind.


    Realizing what was about to happen, Yan Su decided to make a run for it.


    Mo Liuxi dragged her straight into his arms and unzipped her dress.


    Mo Liuxi, you rascal! Yan Su yelled.


    Im doing this for your own good. I need to be responsible for my ex-girlfriend. A great ex-boyfriend like me is hard to find. Seeing her so angry gave Mo Liuxi a jolt of pleasure.


    Yan Su was infuriated. Without thinking, she bit him on the arm.


    At that moment, there was a knock on the restroom door.


    Yan Su froze. She had juste back to work and was so worried someone might find her hiding in the bathroom together with Mo Liuxi.


    Rx. I locked the door, Mo Liuxi said to the nervous girl with a smile. But if you attack me again, Ill unlock it. Hmm, what will people think if they know weve locked ourselves in here alone?


    Are you threatening me? Yan Su figured out what he wanted. Howe you were never so bold before? Have you no shame or decency?


    Mo Liuxi recalled what Nian Junting told him. Indeed, the most important thing was to be shameless.


    He thought for a moment, then put Yan Sus hand on his face and said, Feel it? There is no sense of shame at all.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    She was not expecting him to be so thick-skinned. What could she possibly say?


    Come on, I promise. Youll feel much better soon. You dont even need to thank me.


    Mo Liuxi turned Yan Sus body around. At first, she pulled his hair and bit him, but she gradually lost her strength.


    Outside the restroom, the cleaningdy knocked on the door a few times. She left since no one opened the door for her.


    About ten minutester, Mo Liuxis scream was heard.


    Yan Su! How could you do that after I helped you!


    You deserve it, Yan Su rushed out of the bathroom with red cheeks.


    Mo Liuxi came out limping. She had scratched him so hard he was really hurting. What a fierce woman. She didnt leave even a slight wound on his skin that wasnt covered by clothes, but she scratched him, stomped his feet with her heels, and hit him with her handbag. At the moment, every part of his body ached.


    What he found hardest to ept was that she left heartlessly right after he helped her. He even zipped up her dress for her!


    Yeah, I deserve it. Mo Liuxi said. He sat down, still moaning in pain. I shouldnt have helped you, he confessed.


    You took advantage of me. Now, stopining! Yan Su scolded him coldly, then turned, quickly opened the door, and left.


    Seeing the closed door, Mo Liuxi somehow twisted his lips in a small smile, despite the pain.


    He gently stroked his lips.


    Back in the screening room, Yan Sus brain wasnt even a little nk.


    Ji Nuanyi turned to her with a faint smile and said, Youve spent a long time in the bathroom, and so did Mo Liuxi. What a coincidence. Did you guys see each other?


    Yan Sus heart thumped. Thankfully, it was dark in the screen room. Otherwise, Ji Nuanyi would have seen her blush scarlet.


    Yes, she said. I think he has diarrhea. He was in a terrible state.


    Oh, Ji Nuanyi nodded knowingly. She wanted very much tough. Young people now couldnt be honest in a rtionship, she thought.


    Somehow, she started missing her boyfriend a little.

 Chapter 1349. I Had A Big Bottle of Milk

    Chapter 1349. I Had A Big Bottle of Milk


    Shi Xiang, who was sitting on her other side, looked askance at her. They spent such a long time in the bathroom. Something must have happened.


    Su, Mo Liuxi didnt do anything bad to you, did he? he asked her gently.


    Yan Su didnt know how to answer that question. She couldnt tell if what Mo Liuxi had done to her was bad or not. She now felt so much better than before, so relieved. The breast pump was never adequate.


    However, thinking about what happened in the bathroom made her blush and made her heart race. She even felt a little hot.


    They had broken up already, but just now, they did something so intimate.


    How could he be so shameless?


    But, thankfully, he was Yan Yans father. That was why she didnt feel a strong repulsion against what he did.


    No. I kicked his ass, Yan Su lied.


    About eight minutester, Mo Liux returned, walking with a slight limp.


    Fortunately, the other crew members were focusing on the film instead of him. Only Li Ming gave him a weird look and said, Did you get beaten up because you tried to take advantage of her?


    How is that possible? Mo Liuxi denied, I had diarrhea. It was so bad my legs are weak.


    Li Ming snorted, You could have spent more time in the bathroom. The film is about to end.


    I intend to watch the end of my film, Mo Liuxi said. Then he looked at the screen, seemingly focused on the film. But his mind kept drifting back to that bathroom. The atmosphere was so seductive. He felt as if the two of them had traveled through time to the past.


    He realized he still had feelings for Yan Su, even though she already had a child. He couldnt get her out of his mindnot even a little bit.


    The film ended. Many foreigners in the audience gave positivements.


    The crew members were all in high spirits. Cheng Sheng invited people to a celebratory dinner, his treat.


    This time, Cheng Sheng intended to strive for the Best Actor in A Leading Role award for his role in the film. He might not win, but being nominated already made him feel highly encouraged. He was so grateful to Li Ming and all the other crew members.


    At the table, people took turns making a toast. Yan Su had no choice but to drink, too. She was d her breasts had been emptied already. Otherwise, the breast-swelling would kill her if she drank like that. She had taken some herbal tea to help ease the breast-swelling, but it wouldnt work so efficiently with alcohol.


    Not long after the dinner began, Mo Liuxi dropped his chopsticks and started spending time on his phone.


    Liuxi, arent you gonna eat more? Cheng Sheng said to him, Dont you like the food?


    Yeah, its great. Im just a little full, said Mo Liuxi ndly.


    What have you eaten? Lu Tao asked, chuckling.


    I had a big bottle of milk, Mo Liuxi slightly raised his eyebrows.


    Eh-hem! On hearing that, Yan Su nearly choked on a piece of steak. She picked up a ss of water to conceal her awkwardness.


    What a psychopath! Why did he mention milk at the dinner table?


    When did you have that milk? Why didnt I know about it? Lu Tao said.


    You dont know about a lot of things, said Mo Liuxi.


    The milk in Europe is great, indeed. Its very fresh. I once shot a film in Europe. I had a ss of milk every day, and when I got home, I found my skin whitened considerably.


    Really? Yang Ziqian was interested in skin-whitening. I need to drink a lot of milk. My skin is just too dark.


    The milk was fresh indeed. Mo Liuxi fiddled with the wine ss in his hand. At that moment, his phone buzzed. He dropped his head to look at it and saw a friend request from Yan Su.

 Chapter 1350. Im Sorry, Your Friend Has Put You in The Blacklist

    Chapter 1350. I''m Sorry, Your Friend Has Put You in The cklist


    He epted the friend request.


    Yan Su sent him the emoji that was a knife with blood on it, along with a messageStop talking.


    Mo Liuxi replied withIm sorry, your friend has put you on the cklist.


    Yan Su was in speechless amazement. Was something wrong with Mo Liuxi? She could still see his posts in WeChat Moments, so of course she wasnt on his cklist.


    She was starting to understand how Luosang felt sometimes.


    After dinner, the theater started screening other films chosen by the film festivals. All were masterpieces, and Li Ming, Ji Nuanyi, and the others in the crew couldnt wait to see them. Besides, watching the other nominated movies at least gave them a clue about their prospects for winning an award.


    After all, winning an award such as the Best Actor would lead an actor to a brighter future. Others in the business would see him for his abilities and talents and open the door for more opportunities. For stars like Ji Nuanyi and Shi Xiang, learning about theirpetitors was indispensable.


    As a singer, Yan Su didnt care much aboutpetition. Im not going with you guys. This is my first time in Venice. I want to go outside to see the city. Ive already made a date with my assistant.


    Be careful, then. Li Ming nodded.


    Im not going either, Mo Liuxi saidzily. I need to do some shopping.


    For what? Li Ming furrowed his brows. He dragged Mo Liuxi to the side and said, Liuxi, youre a talented, young director. Dont rest on yoururels. You need to keep learning. Every film nominated at the festival has something that you can learn from. Dont be too eager to pursue the girl. She wont run away.


    You think too much. I need to do some shopping, said Mo Liuxi seriously. I wont miss any other films in the next few days.


    Since Mo Liuxi wasnt about to change his mind, Li Ming stopped talking.


    After Li Ming and the others left, Yan Su stayed where she was, waiting for Jiaojiao. Mo Liuxi was there, too. She red at him and said, Why are you following me again? What do you want?


    Who said Im following you? asked Mo Liuxi ndly.


    Why did you stay behind then? Yan Su was now highly vignt against him.


    Who are you to me? Why should I tell you? Mo Liuxi didnt answer her question.


    Yan Su gave a cold smile. Howe he didnt say that earlier in the bathroom?


    Thankfully, Jiaojiao arrived, right on cue. Thank goodness! Seeing Yan Su and Mo Liuxi standing together, she paused for a few seconds, then said to Yan Su, Su, are you guys


    Since your assistant is already here, Im gonna go, Mo Liuxi said. Then he put his hands in his trousers pockets and left.


    Well, that was unexpected! Yan Su was sure he would follow her. Maybe he really did have something else to do.


    I thought he was here keeping youpany, said Jiaojiao, filled with regret.


    Yan Su and Jiaojiao spent the next two hours shopping for gifts. There were so many beautiful things and tempting goodies to buy. Apart from Yan Yan, Yan Jin, and her parents, Yan Su also wanted to bring some gifts for Luosang and Apple. She hadnt seen Luosang for a very long time.


    She returned to the hotel at ten pm. After having a video chat with Yan Yan, she took a shower. Coming out of the bathroom, she found a message from Mo LiuxiYou left something in my roomst night. Ill bring it to you.


    Yan Su spent a short while thinking but failed to recall what she left in his room. Letting a mane to her ce in the middle of the night was seriously unsafe, so she quickly replied to him withThank you, but I dont want it anymore. You can keep it. Also, am I not in your cklist?

 Chapter 1351. You Dont Need to Thank Me. My Name Is Lei Feng

    Chapter 1351. You Don''t Need to Thank Me. My Name Is Lei Feng


    Mo Liuxi repliedIve thought about it. Were in the same film crew, after all. I decided to release you from the cklist atst.


    Yan Su didnt reply.


    What had Mo Liuxi learned in school in the past half a year? How to be an impudent d*ck?


    He sent her another messageI cant use that thing you left here. If you dont tell me your room number, Im gonna ask the others in the group chat about it.


    Yan Su clenched her teeth. She didnt remember leaving anything in Mo Liuxis room. It was just something he made up. He was trying to take advantage of her again. She sent him a bluntly-worded messageThe thing I left in your ce is you, the human breast pump, right? Im sorry, I dont need you.


    Mo Liuxi replied to her with suspension points, followed by a messageYou have such a dirty mind.


    No good woulde of this interaction. Yan Su was at a loss for words.


    Mo Liuxi continued withEven if you do need me, Id have to think about it.


    Leave me aloneYan Su.


    Im going to ask the others for your room number, threatened Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su was a little nervous. What would they think if he asked them for her room number in the middle of the night? She felt she no choice but to tell him.


    For her safety, she put on a jacket and buttoned it up tightly.


    Five minutester, there was a knock at the door.


    It was Mo Liuxi. He waszily leaning against the door frame, both hands behind his body. Seeing her coat, heughed, What are you doing? Are you afraid I might do something to you?


    Yan Su red at him awkwardly. She had to stay alert against him. Just give that thing to me.


    Mo Liuxi curled his lips in a small smile, then took out a box from behind his body and handed it to her. No need to thank me. My names Lei Feng. *


    After saying that, he turned and left.


    Surprised, Yan Su spent a short while staring at his back, then she looked down at the box. The words were in Italian, but she could tell it was a breast pump.


    And here she was worried that he would try to take advantage of her again.


    To her surpriseWell, how about that!


    To see the box warmed her heart. But then mind wandered back to what had happened between Mo Liuxi and An Ning, and to what Mo Liuxi had said to her. It was a jolt of reality. Oh, why were things soplicated?


    As she cleaned the breast pump and prepared to use it, she was disappointed to see that it wasnt battery-operated; it was a manual pumpnot very handy. She still used it, though.


    The next days schedule wasnt too busy. Yan Su got up early and went to the cafeteria together with Jiaojiao for breakfast.


    The ce was already quite crowded. As they search for seats, Ji Nuanyi and Yang Ziqian, who were sitting in a corner, waved at them to join them.


    You girls are early, Yan Su smiled at them.


    Im still jetgged, replied Ji Nuanyi, shrugging.


    Have you and Mr. Xiao made peace? Yan Su asked.


    I guess that wont happen until I get home, said Ji Nuanyi smilingly while scooping up some mousse cake. Mmm, this is lovely. You should try it.


    Yan Su had seen Xiao Si a few times at Nian Juntings ce. With curiosity, she said, Mr. Xiao is a little like Mr. Nian, isnt he?


    They wouldnt have be good friends if they had nothing inmon. Mo Liuxi and Nian Junting were very much alike. They were probably meant to be family.


    Ji Nuanyi paused a moment before responding, No, I dont think so. Hes not as good at making money as Mr. Nian is, and hes not as decisive and capable, either. Hes kind of a cker, actuallylikes fishing, ying cards, and taking it easy. He has a bunch of friends I dont like. Of course, Mr. Nian isnt one of them.


    Was it appropriate for her to talk about her boyfriend like that? Would Xiao Si explode with anger if he heard that?


    But you still like him, Yan Su managed to continue the conversation.


    I feel rxed around him. No ones perfect. Also, my work has been keeping me busy, Ji Nuanyi said. Its good that he has lots of friends. I dont like my boyfriend to be too clingy.

 Chapter 1352. Are You Thanking Me for Last Afternoon or Night?

    Chapter 1352. Are You Thanking Me for Last Afternoon or Night?


    Why do I feel that hes always clinging to you? Mo Liuxis voice seemed toe out of nowhere. Filming took four months. He visited us five or six times a month and stayed a few days every time.


    Yan Su pivoted on her heel and saw Mo Liuxi and Li Ming standing there.


    Ji Nuanyi nced at him and said, Because I often worked in other cities. Where we made that film was close to him, so he visited me frequently.


    Mo Liuxi didnt say anything but went to get some food.


    Yan Su and Jiaojiao each picked up a tray and followed him. The breakfast provided by the hotel was extra sumptuous.


    Yan Su ran into Mo Liuxi while she was waiting for fried eggs.


    She hesitated shortly, then said to him, Thank you


    Mo Liuxi raised his brow and said, For what? Forst afternoon orst night?


    Last afternoon


    Even thinking about what happenedst afternoon made Yan Su felt ashamed.


    She regretted saying thank you to him. Forst night, of course. Ill p you in the face if you mentionst afternoon again.


    Hearing that fiercenguageing from her sweet mouth surprised Mo Liuxi. He remembered her as a shy and gentle girl. Now she was less so.


    Did she change? Or was she hiding her true nature before?


    Is that how youll thank me? Mo Liuxi snorted coldly, You dont sound sincere at all.


    Believe it or not. Yan Su honestly regretted being friendly with him. She shouldnt be kind to him at all. The one you bought isnt handy. Who still uses manual pumps? Most women prefer the automatic ones, she said.


    Mo Liuxi blinked. A short whileter, he asked her, Are you trying to say that you prefer the way it was donest afternoon? It was simple and convenient.


    Yan Su couldnt believe what she was hearing and turned scarlet. She wanted to throttle him. Had she not been int he cafeteria, she would have smashed the food on her te in his face.


    Can you not be so disgusting? Didnt you understand what I said?


    Girls thoughts are so hard to fathom. Who knows what youre thinking? Mo Liuxi looked at her red cheeks with a smile. The woman was a mother already. Why was she still so adorable?


    He felt utterly ufortable thinking about her child, but every time he talked to her, he failed to control his feelings.


    Im done talking with you, said Yan Su, letting out a breath.


    I was right, wasnt I? Mo Liuxi wore a faint smile.


    Shut up. Yan Su wanted to get as far away from him as possible.


    He gave her a gleeful chuckle.


    Li Ming, who happened to be passing by at that moment, couldnt bear to see that disgusting look on Mo Liuxis face.


    Mo Liuxi returned to the table with a tray full of tempting goodies. He was picky about what he ate. His te was filled with pasta, some ham, fried eggs, pastries, a bowl of fruit, and a cup of coffee.


    The other crew members were used to his enormous appetite. Even so, Ji Nuanyi couldnt help but sigh, Seeing your hearty appetite, I believe your cold is gone.


    The cold was almost cleared up yesterday, Mo Liuxi took a sip of coffee.


    Yang Ziqian said, Howe you didnt get any milk today? Didnt you say that the milk here is nice? I forced myself to drink two sses.


    Yan Su pretended not to hear anything, but lowered her head and focused on her breakfast. But still, Mo Liuxis voice went into her ears. The milk provided by the hotel isnt as sweet as the milk I had yesterday.


    Yan Sus eyes were shing with indignation.

 Chapter 1353. She Fell into His Arms

    Chapter 1353. She Fell into His Arms


    How on earth was she supposed to continue eating her breakfast?


    She finished her food as soon as she could, then dragged Jiaojiao and left the cafeteria.


    There was no red carpet task for today. The crew went to see other people walk the red carpet. Yan Su spent the afternoon with the others, then returned to the hotel to do an interview.


    The next day, Ji Nuanyi asked everyone in the group chat if they wanted to take a twilight gond ride to enjoy the evening view of Venice.


    Yang Ziqian signed up first, then Cheng Sheng. Yan Su had never been on a gond before. It was her first time in Venice, so she wanted to go too. It seemed like a memorable way to see the city.


    After dinner, she met up with the others in the lobby. What a surprise to see Mo Liuxi.


    She whispered to Ji Nuanyi, Whats he doing here? He didnt sign up in the group chat, did he?


    He talked to me in private, Ji Nuanyi smiled. He didnt see the message in the group chat.


    Hmmph. Yan Su didnt know how to respond to that.


    She was having second thoughts. Every time she went out together with him, something awful happened.


    Dont worry. Ji Nuanyi held her shoulder and said, Ill keep a close eye on you guys. I wont let you fall into the water again.


    Yan Su stayed silent.


    She was indeed worried that something like that would happen, or maybe something worse.


    The five of them walked to the dock. Mo Liuxi didnt sign up at first, so Ji Nuanyi booked another gond for four.


    Now there were five of them. The gonds for six had all been booked since it was a busy time of year. They asked the gondolier if he could put all five of them on the gond, but he said no.


    They had no choice but to pay for an extra gond for two. Two would go on the small gond, while the other three stayed in the bigger one. After all, none of them wanted to be on the gond alone. That would be boring.


    However, the seating arrangements became a problem.


    I think we three girls should sit together, Yan Su said. The two guys can take the small one.


    No. Cheng Sheng, who was older than the others, was the first to shake his head. There has to be a guy on each boat to keep the girls safe.


    Yan Su admired and respected Cheng Sheng but didnt dare to argue with him.


    Ill share a boat with Yan Su and Liuxi, you with Ziqian, said Ji Nuanyi to Cheng Sheng.


    Okay.


    Cheng Sheng and Zi Qian both agreed. After all, Yang Qiqian and Yan Su didnt know each other so well yet. Letting the two of them share a boat would be a little inappropriate.


    Yan Su wasnt happy to share the boat with Mo Liuxi.


    She gave him a sidelong look and went on the gond first, then helped Ji Nuanyi to get on, then Yan Su.


    Yan Su had to hold his hand. When she was getting onto the boat, Ji Nuanyi shook it on purpose. Yan Su lost her bnce and fell into Mo Liuxis arms.


    His scent immediately enveloped her. She blushed, hurriedly struggled out, then apologized, Im sorry. The boat was shaking. I didnt mean it.


    It was shaking indeed, Mo Liuxis pupils shrank slightly. After saying that, he let go of her and sat down beside Ji Nuanyi.


    Yan Su sat on his other side. Mo Liuxi ended up sitting between two girls.


    The gondolier paddled the boat slowly as he talked about the scenery and Venices history to the passengers. The twinkling lights made the city seem otherworldly.


    The famous city on the water had a lot of romantic stories.


    The gentle breeze blew across Yan Sus long hair. She enjoyed the night view of couples dining by candlelight together, the fresh flowers in the windows of the residents.


    The city was as enchanting as an oil painting.


    I should havee here with my boyfriend, Ji Nuanyi sighed.

 Chapter 1354. The Lovers Who Kissed Each Other Under the Bridge Will Be Together Forever

    Chapter 1354. The Lovers Who Kissed Each Other Under the Bridge Will Be Together Forever


    Yan Su couldnt help but nod.


    It was indeed a very romantic thing to be on a gond together with the person she loved.


    Mo Liuxi nced at her unhappily. Seeing her gaze into the darkness, he wondered who she was thinking about at the moment. She wasnt thinking about Shi Xiang, was she?


    To stop her from thinking about Shi Xiang, he picked up a free paddle and identally sshed water on her face.


    Mo Liuxi, what are you doing? Yan Su wiped her face. As she thought, bad things happened every time she went out with him.


    It was an ident. I thought it would be easy. Mo Liuxi dropped the paddle.


    The boatmanughed and said, It looks easy, but its not.


    Mo Liuxi smiled.


    Ji Nuanyi nced at the two and sighed. She felt that she totally shouldnt be on the boat. Werent the two tired pretending not to like each other all day? Even watching them made her feel helpless. They obviously had feelings for each other. They didnt get a lot of opportunities toe out together, so they should be having a great time together.


    You will be seeing the famous Bridge of Sighs, the boatman said to them. Many loverse to Venice for the bridge. Before, the bridge connected the prison and the Doges Pce. Every prisoner needed to cross the bridge. There is a movie


    I know. The movie is called A Little Romance, said Ji Nuanyi.


    Yes. The boatman smiled. I heard that lovers who kiss each other under the bridge will be together forever.


    Yan Su paused briefly when she heard that.


    Soon, the bridge was right in front of them. Yan Su saw the bridge. It was located near an alley, and the area was not well lit.


    So I guess I have to give Mr. Xiao a video call and kiss him. Ji Nuanyi immediately gave Xiao Si a video call.


    Ji Nuanyi, what do you want? Why is it so dark on your side? Xiao Sis grumpy voice could be heard. Its nighttime here. The lights arent bright enough, so you cant see me.


    Seeing her grin happily, Xiao Si said through clenched teeth, I must remind you that were still in a fight, okay?


    I know, but Im under the Bridge of Sighs now, Ji Nuanyi said with a smile. Its said that lovers who kiss each other under the bridge will be together forever. Youre not with me now, but we can kiss in a video call, cant we?


    Xiao Xi fell into silence and looked at her through the phone with aplicated expression on his face.


    Whats wrong? Ji Nuanyi said.


    Nothing. Xiao Su stopped short, then said, I just I want to fly to you right now.


    Arent we in a fight? Ji Nuanyi asked him.


    Not anymore. Im not angry at you anymore, said Xiao Si with a soft voice.


    Im d to hear that. Come on. The bridge is right in front of me. Pout your little mouth. Ji Nuanyiughed.


    Sitting on the other side of the boat and hearing their conversation, Yan Su admired Ji Nuanyi so much. She made Xiao Si forgive her without even saying sorry to him.


    She was so smart.


    Yan Su believed that she herself could never handle such a situation as well as she did.


    The Bridge of Sighs was now in front of her. She raised her head.


    Ji Nuanyi gave the boatman a hand gesture. She had talked to the boatman in advance. Receiving her signal, the boatman abruptly pushed the paddle against the wall.


    The boat instantly started shaking, making Mo Liuxi fall toward Yan Su.


    Yan Su didnt want to fall into the water, so she automatically grasped Mo Liuxis coat. Mo Liuxis head bumped against hers and his lips were pressed on hers.

 Chapter 1355. Ive Kissed Xiao Si. Do You Guys Think We Can Be Together Forever?

    Chapter 1355. I''ve Kissed Xiao Si. Do You Guys Think We Can Be Together Forever?


    Yan Sus heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened.


    It was dark under the bridge. She saw that Mo Liuxi had also opened his eyes wide, and she felt that Ji Nuanyis voice was fading.


    They looked at each other in the eyes. The boat was still shaking.


    Mo Liuxi slightly tilted his head, and his tongue suddenly invaded Yan Sus mouth.


    Yan Sus brain turned nk. She was not expecting that to happen. She gripped his coat, trembling slightly. She could taste the sweetness of the fruit that Mo Liuxi had after dinner. The stubble near his mouth made her feel a little itchy.


    Only when the boat slowly crossed the bridge did Mo Liuxi let go of her. He sat to the side and picked up a bottle of spring water as if nothing happened.


    Yan Sus brain wasnt working at the moment. Watching Mo Liuxis movement, she opened a bottle of water and started drinking too, but she couldnt even feel the taste of the water.


    Ji Nuanyi was still talking to Xiao Si. The bridge is behind us now, she said. We just kissed through the phone. We will be together forever, wont we?


    Of course, we will. Xiao Si was thrilled. Nuannuan, dont video chat me while youre on the boat. Its not safe. Your phone might fall into the water. Take some nice videos and send them to me.


    Sure. Work hard. Ji Nuanyi waved at him and ended the call. She then sighed and looked at the two with a grin. Bridge of Sighs. Its such a nice ce. Ive kissed Xiao Si. Do you think well be together forever?


    Yeah, I think, Mo Liuxi mumbled to her. You kissed Xiao Si through the phone, but Yan Su and I kissed each other right under the bridge. We did much better than you guys, he thought.


    Su, what do you think? Ji Nuanyi asked Yan Su.


    Yeah, without a doubt. You and Mr. Xiao are such a perfect match for each other. Yan Su had so many thoughts going on in her head at the moment. Fortunately, Ji Nuanyi didnt see what happened just now. She sighed with relief.


    Seeing them looking stunned, Ji Nuanyi wanted very much tough. Did they think that she didnt see what happened? She was video chatting with Xiao Si, and Mo Liuxi was having his back to her, but she saw everything.


    Im impressed by Mo Liuxi, she thought. He really grasped the opportunity.


    Um wh-why did the boat shake so badly under the bridge just now? Yan Su finally realized that something was not right.


    Im sorry. The ce was too narrow just now. My paddle identally hit the wall, the boatman exined.


    You should be more careful, Ji Nuanyi saidining. Thankfully, no one fell into the water. Be careful next time.


    Im really sorry. The boatman apologized again.


    About ten secondster, the boat arrived at the destination.


    Ji Nuanyi tipped the boatman with a stack of cash.


    Youre so generous. Mo Liuxi raised his brows.


    Sure. Ji Nuanyi pouted her mouth toward the reporters by the shoreside and said, I want them to think that Im a generous person.


    Yan Su was impressed.


    No wonder Ji Nuanyi had a great reputation in the entertainment circle. She could even be counted as perfect.


    After the boat trip, the group of people went for ice cream.


    Mo Liuxi paid the bill. Yan Su gave him a few extra nces for that. Didnt he say that he would only spend money on his future wife? What happened to him today?


    Ji Nuanyi sighed. This is rare. Director Mo paid for my ice-cream.


    Yang Ziqian nodded to agree. Yeah, Director Mo is usually so stingy.


    Mo Liuxi walked to Ji Nuanyi and whispered to her, On the boat, you arranged that, didnt you?

 Chapter 1356. I Wonder if Director Mo Will Be Able to Control Himself

    Chapter 1356. I Wonder if Director Mo Will Be Able to Control Himself


    Ji Nuanyi proudly raised her brows and said, Of course. Do you think God did that for you? How can you be that lucky?


    Mo Liuxi gave her a nce with praise. Well done. Be patient. One day, Ill make you the best actress in the world.


    Ji Nuanyi felt speechless. If those words came out of someone elses mouth, she would consider that as a boast. However, it was Mo Liuxi. After all, even Li Ming hadplimented the young man. He was currently the most promising young director in the country. He wasnt as experienced as some directors from the older generation, but he would be famous sooner orter.


    What? Dont you believe me? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and said, You dont think that youre gonna win the Best Actress award this time in Venice, do you? Of course, Im not saying that you didnt do a good job. You are pretty good among all the young actresses.


    All right, I get it. But Im not really happy talking to you. No wonder the things between you and Yan Su have been weird all the time. I finally understand why. Ji Nuanyi took a big bite of her ice-cream.


    You girls just cant bear to hear anything nice. Mo Liuxi snorted.


    Do you think Cheng Sheng can win the award this time? Ji Nuanyi asked him with a small voice.


    I dont know Mo Liuxi responded to her ndly. But our work might win the Golden Lion Award or something like that


    Thats not bad, Ji Nuanyi murmured.


    After winning an award like that, the status of the artists who had taken part in making the film would raise to a new level.


    The group of people returned to the hotel. In the lobby, they saw Tang Yueqi. She waved at the others and then said to Mo Liuxi, Director Ji Ge invited us to have a drink at the bar


    Mo Liuxi furrowed his brows. Director Ji Ge was a good friend of his tutor, so he couldnt say no to his invitation. All right, lets go, he said.


    Ji Nuanyi smiled and said, Director Mo is really popr, and is always surrounded by pretty girls. Right, Su?


    Yan Su felt a little ufortable.


    He just kissed her on the boat, but now, he was going to the bar together with Tang Yueqi. What a yboy. He was probably attracted to all kinds of ces where pretty girls could be found. He was like an eel that was so good at drilling into the mud.


    Of course. After all, Director Mo is such a funny and capable person. Yan Su gave a fake smile.


    Im just going to meet with a director. Can you girls stop talking with that sour tone? Mo Liuxi gave Yan Su a meaningful nce, then left with Tang Yueqi.


    Looking at their backs, Yang Ziqian sighed. Tang Yueqi is so sexy. I wonder if Director Mo will be able to control himself.


    Yan Su felt agitated.


    She had no idea why Mo Liuxi kissed her earlier tonight. If he had just identally touched her lips, he could have just moved away. However, his tongue invaded her mouth and crazily kissed her.


    Was he not over her yet? Or, was that only a mans instinct?


    After all, he had slept with An Ning.


    Could he believe him?


    Back in her room, Yan Su spent a short while staring at the breast pump on the table.


    She couldnt sleep at night. She kept thinking of the kiss which happened under the bridge in the dim light, and some things that happened between them in the past. She had also been wondering if he hade back to the hotel or not and if he was drunk and in bed with Tang Yueqi.


    About midnight, Ji Nuanyi messaged Mo Liuxi in the group chat Are you back yet? Let me know when youe back. I want to ask you something.


    Mo Liuxi replied to her at 12:30 a.m. Im back.

 Chapter 1357. The Same As You, Hes Not Over It

    Chapter 1357. The Same As You, He''s Not Over It


    Yan Su dropped her phone, suddenly feeling sleepy.


    The next day, Jiaojiao came to ask her to go out and take a few pictures in fashionable clothes. Seeing her sallow face, Jiaojiao asked her, Did you guys not have funst night?


    Last night was great Yan Su sighed. Jiaojiao, what kind of a person do you think Mo Liuxi is?


    Why do you want to talk about him again? Havent you guys broken up already? Jiaojiao tittered. Are you thinking about getting back together with him?


    No Yan Su answered the question, blushing. I just I dont really believe my own judgment now. Sometimes I feel that hes actually a good person. Hes sharp-tongued, but hes warm on the inside. He can be sweet sometimes, but he lied to me that nothing happened between him and An Ning, yet in fact, they had slept together


    She wasnt nning on telling Jiaojiao about it, but she didnt know whom to talk to. She couldnt talk to Luosang about her little brother. So all along, she kept it to herself and struggled with it.


    I didnt know about that Jiaojiao knitted her brows with surprise. No wonder you guys broke up suddenly.


    Yeah. Yan Su smiled bitterly.


    If it wasnt for An Ning, she would have definitely told Mo Liuxi about the baby.


    She thought that after about 6 months, she should be able to face him peacefully, but recently, things between them becameplicated again. Some things that she thought had gone away seemed toe back.


    Soon, the film would be screened all over the country. The two of them would have to go to several cities together for the film promotion. Before that happened, she had to figure out how she was feeling about him.


    Jiaojiao sighed and asked her, Did he cheat on you and sleep with An Ning while he was with you, or before that?


    I think it was before we got together, Yan Su mumbled. But he slept with An Ning, then got together with me. Thats why An Ning started trouble with me over and over again. I really didnt like him lying to me. An Ning even sent pictures to my apartment.


    I think you two can still talk about it if it happened before you got together. Jiaojiao started analyzing. Maybe he shouldnt lie to you. Lying is awful. However, he was nice to you when you were together, and he never cheated on you. Perhaps he lied to you because he cared too much for you. He wanted so much to be together with you, and he was worried that you might say no to him after knowing about what happened between him and An Ning. You should observe him and pay more attention to his moral quality. If hes that kind of guy who likes to sleep with all kinds of pretty girls, he cant possibly conceal that nature forever. People will find out about that soon orter. Hes bing famous now. The reporters have been eyeing him and you two are both in the entertainment circle. Youd be hearing things about him if hes that kind of person. Also, you can just spend more time observing him.


    Yan Su stopped short. On hearing Jiaojiaos words, she felt as if she was no longer confused.


    Jiaojiao continued with, I think Shi Xiang was also part of the reason why you guys broke up, right? You spent a night with Shi Xiang in a hotel, and some reporters took pictures of you two. As a man, he certainly felt ufortable about that. He did something that displeased you, and you did something that made him unhappy too. However, based on his behavior here in Venice, I think hes not over you yet. He is an aloof person. He often ignores other girls, but he always pays extra attention to you. He hates you. He wouldnt hate you if he didnt love you.


    The same as you, hes not over it.


    Yan Su felt enlightened. She thought she had the same feelings, but she wasnt sure.


    Mo Liuxi hated her, probably because of Shi Xiang and the baby.


    Dont struggle. Jiaojiao continued by saying, Let things happen naturally. You need time to see the true moral quality of a person. As Ive told you, you should spend more time observing him.

 Chapter 1358. Yan Sus Throat Was Dry and Her Mind Was Blurred

    Chapter 1358. Yan Su''s Throat Was Dry and Her Mind Was Blurred


    Yan Su nodded. She felt as if she had finally found her direction in a dense fog.


    Jiaojiao was right. Time would give her the answer if Mo Liuxi was a good man or not. For now, she shouldnt worry too much about it.


    Besides, she had juste back to work. She didnt have too much time to think about her rtionship with him.


    Deep down, she wished they could be together in the end. After all, she had never forgotten about him, and her child would be happy to live with both her parents.


    At night, Yan Su and the other crew members dressed up to attend the award ceremony.


    The annual film festival attracted people from all over the world.


    The team under Li Mings leadership won the Golden Lion award. Cheng Sheng and Ji Nuanyi didnt win the awards of best actor and actress, but still, the Golden Lion award was a great achievement for the crew.


    After the ceremony, the crew members took turns to ept interviews. In front of the media from all over the world, Li Ming said, Six years ago, my team and I attended the Berlin film festival. We didnt win the Golden Bear, but the leading actor in my film won the Best Actor award. I am so thrilled to win the Golden Lion at this age. I want to thank my team, and every actor and actress from my film crew, and my assistant directors Lu Tao and Mo Liuxi, especially Mo Liuxi. I was happy with the script at first, but Liuxi said it wasnt good enough. He perfected it. During the filmmaking, we sometimes stayed up the whole night talking about how to make the film more creative. For one scene, we spent a few nights discussing it. He is still very young, but I believed that hell achieve better than I have.


    Yan Su was stunned to hear that.


    Without a doubt, Li Ming had pushed Mo Liuxi up to the peak of the world of directors byplimenting him like that in front of the mediaing from all over the world. He was only twenty-one years old. Because of the Golden Lion award that he had won, he would probably be a super popr movie director world-wide.


    He was young, but he would be very famous.


    Mo Liuxi was surprised too.


    He thanked Li Ming while epting the interview.


    Thest interview ended at night. At midnight, the crew went to the bar to celebrate.


    Everybody was happy. They would be flying home tomorrow, so they drank quite a lot. Mo Liuxi clinked sses with Li Ming the whole time, and in the end, Li Ming was pretty drunk.


    Even Yan Su drank a lot. Jiaojiao had to go to the bar to pick her up and escort her back to the hotel.


    Once they got to the hotel, Jiaojiao gave her some pills to release the drunkenness. After that, she slept for a short while.


    Before dawn, the doorbell woke up Yan Su. She spent a great effort to get up from the bed to answer the door.


    Mo Liuxi was leaning against the door frame, wearing a bathrobe. His hair was slightly messy and his eyes looked drowsy. His chest was partially exposed. The aroma of shower gel was on his body, mixing with the scent of alcohol.


    Seeing him without a warning, Yan Su felt her throat get a little dry, and her mind blurred.


    What time is it? she said.


    Mo Liuxi raised his hand, nced at his watch, then answered the question with a deep voice, Four.


    Yan Su gave a start, rubbed her eyes and said helplessly, Why did you wake me up at this time?


    I heard youre leaving at 8:00 a.m., said Mo Liuxi, looking at her in the eyes.


    Yeah Yan Su was a little confused. She had told the others about her schedule in the group chat indeed.


    So give me the breast pump back. Mo Liuxi reached a hand toward her.


    Yan Su was utterly confused.


    Seeing the bewildered look on her pretty face, Mo Liuxi grinned. Silly. Do you want to go through the security check with it? Or, do you n to leave it here in the hotel to be found by the hotel staff?

 Chapter 1359. Before Leaving

    Chapter 1359. Before Leaving


    Yan Su shuddered.


    He was right. The paparazzi were everywhere nowadays.


    She was thinking about that yesterday, but then she got drunk and forgot about it. Taking the breast pump to the airport was not an option. If the airport security asked her to open her suitcase, the other members of the film crew would see it.


    She was surprised that Mo Liuxi still kept that in mind.


    Just a minute.


    She turned and walked into the room. Her mind was still not clear, so it took her a while to remember where she put it.


    She took it out and handed it to Mo Liuxi.


    He took it, but she didnt let it go.


    What? You dont want to bring it home, do you? Didnt you say that its manual and not handy enough? Seeing her red cheeks and feeling her hesitation, Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows.


    No Yan Su stuttered. Can I borrow it again? I had too much alcohol yesterday, and well fly back to China tomorrow. We need to stop for a transfer. Thatll be over ten hours


    She didnt finish, but she figured that he should be able to understand her meaning.


    Mo Liuxi nodded. So, do you want to stay here and wait until you finished with it? he said.


    Yan Su nodded. He was smart.


    How long?


    Ten twenty minutes, Yan Su mumbled.


    So long? Mo Liuxi knocked on his watch. I need to get back to sleep. Its the middle of the night.


    How about I send it to you when Im finished? Yan Su stuttered.


    But youd have to wake me up in that way. Itll be the same. Mo Liuxi abruptly made a step toward her. The light poured on his face, emphasizing his deep, mysterious eyes. I think the only simple and efficient way to do this is to let me solve the problem for you.


    Yan Sus eyes widened in shock. What happened earlier at the theater shed across her mind. She made two steps backward and then her legs bumped into the edge of the bed. As a result, she sat down on the bed.


    Mo Liuxi put a hand on the edge of the bed, and slowly lowered his head, wearing a wicked smile.


    Ten minutester, Mo Liuxi left delightedly with a small bag.


    Hearing the door close, Yan Su stuck her head out of the quilt. A shoulder of hers exposed in the air. After spending a short while in a daze, she covered her head again with the quilt, feeling ashamed.


    She felt too ashamed to face anyone again.


    Thankfully, she would fly home tomorrow morning. She would feel utterly embarrassed to see him again.


    This time, her interaction with him ended in such a weird way. Neither of them mentioned anything about their real feelings. She wondered what would happen next time.


    The next morning, Mo Liuxi stood before the window, looking at the sky.


    Yan Sus ne should have left already. Not only her, but Ji Nuanyi, Cheng Sheng and the other stars had also left early. They had spent too much time in Venice already.


    Suddenly, Venice didnt seem interesting anymore.


    He packed his suitcases early, then went to say goodbye to Li Ming.


    Didnt you tell me on our way here that youll take me to Rome for delicious food? Li Ming red at him.


    This is Italy. What else can you possibly find apart from pasta? Mo Liuxi saidzily. Just go back to China as soon as possible. China has such a rich food culture. I promise that no other country canpete with our food.


    Thats not what you said before, Li Ming said. You have no mood to stay because Yan Su has left already. Am I right?


    Thats not true. Im making a trip back to Luxembourg. I donte to Europe a lot. Since Im here now, Im gonna go and visit my grandfather, who is, unfortunately, still alive. Mo Liuxi waved at Li Ming and then left.

 Chapter 1360. Did You Feel Your Heart Leaping and Your Body Burning?

    Chapter 1360. Did You Feel Your Heart Leaping and Your Body Burning?


    Mo Liuxi spent two days in Luxembourg, then flew back to Xia City. The flight took over twenty hours. He was pretty travel-worn by the time he arrived home.


    He returned to the vi at nightfall. Luosang and Nian Junting had been there waiting for him. Once he came in, Luosang and Xu Zhengxuan weed him passionately.


    Liuxi, congrattions on winning the Golden Lion. I am so proud of you. Luosang excitedly hugged him.


    God knew how thrilled she was to know that Mo Liuxis crew won the Golden Lion.


    Xu Zhengxuan even had joyful tears in his eyes. Son, you are so amazing. Your mother cultivated you well. You are better than me.


    Apple also joined the conversation. Mamama Gagaga Dadada


    Mo Liuxi felt speechless. What was the baby saying?


    Mo Jin and Nian Junting were sitting aside, eating fruit and watching the others.


    As Luosang and her father were exaggerating, Mo Jin waved a hand atst and said, All right, this is quite enough. After all, the film was directed by Li Ming. He was just there to help.


    You dont understand. Xu Zhengxuan disagreed with her, and that was a rare thing. Didnt you hear how Director Liplimented him? He adjusted the script and directed the film on the scene. I bet that they wouldnt be able to win the prize without Liuxis contribution.


    Yeah, your son is the best. Mo Jin didnt want to argue with him.


    No, he isnt the best. Xu Zhengxuan quickly shook his head and said, You are the best. You made him smart and educated him well. Ny-nine percent of you and one percent of himself made his achievement.


    Luosang didnt know what to say.


    Mo Liuxi wanted to throw up.


    Nian Junting wanted very much to film it and show it to Nian Qingyun. That was why Xu Zhengxuan managed to win his ex-wifes heart back. He was being extremely shameless.


    Im hungry. Lets go and eat. Mo Liuxi walked toward the dining room.


    The family prepared him a rich meal. He had been having western food for a long time and indeed, he missed Chinese food. He enjoyed the meal.


    I saw you and Yan Su fall into the water Mo Jin said to him with a smile. You two looked like a sweet couple in those pictures. You made a lot of physical contact in the water, right? Did you feel your heart leaping and your body burning?


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent. Luosang almost choked on her rice. Mom, can you please


    Im telling the truth, Mo Jin said with a small smile. Didnt she know her own son? He wouldnt bother to make that kind of interaction with a girl that he wasnt interested in. I think Yan Su has be prettier than before.


    I heard from a professor in the Music Department that Yan Su is still studying at a university for a masters degree, said Xu Zhengxuan.


    What a motivated girl. Mo Jin couldnt helpplimenting her.


    Luosangughed and said, A couple of days ago, Yan Su told me that she bought a gift for Apple in Venice. She said shes too busy to send the gift to us now because shell take part in the show, Asian King of Singing, the second season. Shes already filmed the first episode. The show will be aired in half a month.


    Mo Liuxis hand, which was holding his chopsticks, shook.


    Mo Jin nodded and said, That show is popr indeed. Thest season even made a few has-been artists superstars again.


    Yeah. Many singers want to be in that show right now. Yan Sus manager is doing a great job. She actually got her into that show. Luosang sighed. But thepetition is strong. Some singers need topose the music themselves. They barely had the time to sleep during the making of the show. Im really worried about her. Hopefully, shell be able to cope with the heavy workload.

 Chapter 1361. Luosang Felt So Tired in Her Heart

    Chapter 1361. Luosang Felt So Tired in Her Heart


    So its a contest, said Nian Junting ndly. Maybe shell be eliminated in the first round. If that happened, shell have plenty of time to sleep.


    Shut up. Luosang red at him and said, She can make it to the fourth or fifth round at least. She said if she got into the third round, shell get me a ticket and invite me to watch the filming.


    Are you gonna leave me and Apple here and go to Hangzhou? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, How can you do that?


    Luosang didnt know what to say. He made it sound like something really awful.


    Im just gonna go for two days. Ill be back on the second day. Ive married you and given you a baby. Dont I have any freedom now?


    Thats not true, Nian Junting hurriedly said. After all, his wife was getting angry. Im just saying that you should take me. Sister Lan will take care of Apple.


    Xu Zhengxuan nodded and said, You should go together. You cant have fun alone.


    Nian Junting nodded, agreeing with his father-inw.


    Luosang sighed and said, All right, all right, Ill ask her for an extra ticket.


    Oi, ask her for two more, Mo Jin hurriedly said to her. Take me too. I like hearing songs.


    If your mother will go, Ill go too. Xu Zhengxuan joined the conversation.


    Mo Liuxi blinked and said, If you all go, I think I should go with you guys.


    Maybe we should get two tickets for Nian Xi and my Mom too. They havent seen anything like that yet, Nian Junting said.


    Apple gave his own opinion too. Ll Ahhhh


    Luosang buried her face in her hands. She felt like she was going crazy. So this is gonna be a family vacation now? Youre talking about seven or eight people going together. How can Yan Su possibly get us so many tickets? Please. The audience will need to vote during the contest. We cant march in there in such a big group, or people might consider the voting unfair.


    Youre right, Mo Jin murmured with disappointment.


    Nian Junting patted Luosang on the shoulder and said, Ill deal with it. We wont be voting. We can sit in the first row, or I can probably ask the organizer to arrange a row for us exclusively.


    Like the show is produced by you. Luosangs mouth corners twitched.


    Dont you forget that Im a game yer in the film and television business too. Theyll certainly do what I ask. Nian Justing smiled.


    Luosang sighed. Unexpectedly, her entire family would go to watch the show. She felt so tired in her heart.


    Anyway, lets wait until Yan Su gets into the third round, she said.


    Mo Liuxi counted the days. Before Yan Su got into the third round, she and he would go to Beijing together to promote Li Mings new film.


    What was Asian King of Singing? After dinner, Mo Liuxi went upstairs to watch the show.


    Half a monthter, Asian King of Singing was aired. It caught a lot of attention nationwide. The songs created by a few singers on the show suddenly got into the list of the most current popr songs.


    Yan Su was one of the most outstanding among them. The great power erupted from her tiny body impressed many people and aroused heated discussions. Her songs could even be heard in taxis, social media tforms, and everywhere on the streets.


    On Friday, Mo Liuxi went home after school. He walked into the house to find that Mo Jin was watching Asia King of Singing. The singer on the screen was Tu Lan. He had watched that episode a few times in his apartment earlier. Yan Su would be next on stage.


    He decided not to go upstairs immediately as he nned to, but dropped his bag, sat down on the couch, started eating fruit and watching TV. He made it look like a casual thing.

 Chapter 1362. Your Work Schedule Is Exactly the Same As Mo Liuxis

    Chapter 1362. Your Work Schedule Is Exactly the Same As Mo Liuxi''s


    Yan Su soon came on stage wearing a silver dress. The dark-blue light, toned her pretty face with a beautiful glow, making her look like a beautiful, sexy elf.


    A ripple shed across Mo Liuxis dark eyes that looked like a quiet, deepke.


    He had seen her wearing full dresses so many times in Venice, but it was the first time he saw her wearing silver. He had to admit that she was glowing in the dress. The fascinating lines of her body made him want so much to hold her in his arms and kiss her deeply.


    She was even more charming when she was singing.


    As Yan Su finished her singing, Mo Liuxi dropped the watermelon rinds and saidzily to Mo Jin, The watermelon is nice. Its hard to find sweet watermelon at this time


    Yeah. Mo Jin gave him a small smile.


    Mo Liuxi felt a little ufortable under her gaze, so he went upstairs.


    Mo Jin picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite. It was almost vorless.


    Xu Zhengxuan came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron. Didnt you say that the watermelon isnt sweet at all? Also, youve watched this episode several times. Why are you still watching it?


    I just wanted to verify a guess of mine. Mo Jin smiled faintly. I think Ive just discovered something unbelievable.


    Xu Zhengxuan wore a look of confusion.


    I might be a mother-inw soon. What a surprise. I thought thatd never happened. Mo Jin dropped the watermelon, stood up and left.


    Xu Zhengxuan was still confused.


    Hangzhou.


    Yan Su was sitting on the floor of the music studio with her hair hanging loosely over her shoulders, studying her music. Jiaojiao was sitting by her side, looking at her phone. Look, this famous music critic posted on Weibo My impression of Yan Su was mainly about her rtionship with Shi Xiang, and then the pictures of her and Mo Liuxi in the water together. However, her voice amazed me and many others the moment she got onto the stage and started singing. She is so talented.


    This one called Xuri Dongsheng said Yan Su is so pretty. Not many singers are as pretty as she is. I heard that she was one of the top-three scored students back in school. How did she do that? She had to spend so much time singing, but still, she managed to get such great scores. How amazing.


    Holding the guitar, Yan Su turned and asked Jiaojiao, What you think about my minor mode?


    It turned out that she wasnt listening to Jiaojiao at all. What are you talking about? I dont understand, Jiaojiao said.


    Yan Su furrowed her brows, shook her head and said, Tell Aji toe here as soon as he wakes up from his nap.


    I have to remind you that the new episode of the show will be filmed on Friday. And on Saturday, youll be going to Beijing to promote Director Lis new film. The film will be screened at Christmas.


    It has been so long already. Yan Su stopped short.


    You dont know? Jiaojiao hurriedly showed her the schedule on the phone and exined to her saying, The activity in Beijing is the only one you will take part in before the film is screened. After that, youll go to four cities to promote the film. Consider yourself lucky. Ji Nuanyi needs to go to eight cities. Oh, and the film will be screened in Hong Kong in January. By then, the entire film crew will be in Hong Kong.


    Eh who else will go to Beijing? Yan Su felt her scalp going numb.


    Jiaojiao smiled and said, What a coincidence. Your schedule is the same as Mo Liuxis. Except for the activity in Beijing, you wont be seeing Shi Xiang at all. He and Yang Ziqian will go to another city to promote the film.


    Yan Su didnt know what to say.


    She refused to believe that was just a coincidence.


    She would have to see Mo Liuxi again in Beijing. Would he be knocking on her door in the middle of the night again?

 Chapter 1363. Su, This Random Guy You Picked Is a Good-Looking One

    Chapter 1363. Su, This Random Guy You Picked Is a Good-Looking One


    Why are you blushing? Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and said, What are you thinking about?


    Yan Su felt utterly embarrassed. She red at Jiaojiao and said, Im just thinking about how to make the music creative and pleasant to the ears at the same time. Dont forget that someone will be eliminated in the new episode.


    Jiaojiao tittered. She, of course, didnt believe Yan Su.


    She stood up, walked to the door and said, When I first started my career, I spent a while doing odds and ends in Huachen, then I came here and became your assistant. A makeup artist in Huachen is my good friend. Shes working for Yang Ziqian now. Ive asked her about Mo Liuxi


    Yan Su stopped short and unwittingly turned to look at Jiaojiao.


    Jiaojiao smiled and said, Its said that Mo Liuxi was rather popr in the film crew because hes talented and good-looking. Many young actresses wanted to be friends with him. Some even knocked on his door in the middle of the night. However, when he wasnt working, he rarely even looked at those girls. There were quite some pretty girls in the film crew


    Oh Yan Su responded to Jiaojiao with a low voice.


    Ill try to find out more about him for you. Jiaojiao made a face and left.


    Yan Su looked at her guitar and strummed the strings. The music sounded happier than before.


    In December, Yan Su filmed the newest episode of the show and then flew to Beijing.


    Before boarding, she got a call from Jiang Peiying. Your father is in Beijing this week, taking part in the filming of the newest episode of the show called Millennium Culture History. He brought Yan Jin there too. Go and spend some time with Yan Jin if and when you are free. He told me that hes so bored in Beijing.


    Daddy is doing so well now. Yan Su was surprised. Hes even making a show in Beijing.


    Hes just an old man. They invited him because he has some knowledge and experience. Jiang Peiying chuckled and said, He insisted on bringing Yan Jin with him because he wants the boy to see the world. I really dont understand that. Jin is still a little boy.


    Dad just wants to exercise him. Yan Su was very happy to see Yan Jin. During the six months that she spent together with the little boy, she found him so adorable and warm. Before she left home, Yan Jin cried so sadly. And when she was away from home, he often video called her.


    Sadly, Yan Yan isnt with them.


    Shes still too young to travel, Jiang Peiying said. But shes grown prettier than before. Her skin is fair now. She really looks like a jade statue, even more beautiful than you in your babyhood.


    Su, this random guy you picked is clearly a good-looking one. Im surprised that you managed to pick a pretty boy even when you were drunk. You obviously cant resist handsome boys. Be careful though. Dont let those pretty boys from the entertainment circle fool you


    Eh mom, Im getting on my ne. Bye. As her mothers lecture was about to start again, Yan Su hurriedly found an excuse to end the call.


    Many people in the country had been paying attention to the new film that had won the Golden Lion in Venice. By the time Yan Su arrived at the exhibition center, Ji Nuanyi, Cheng Sheng, Mo Liuxi and the others were already there. They were sitting in the first row, and behind them, were the media and fans.


    Yan Su bent over and walked through the crowd. Some fans in the back suddenly burst into screams.


    Yan Su! Yan Su! We love you! We will always love you!


    Yan Su gave a start. That was the first public activity that she took part in, in the current month. She didnt know that she had so many fans now.


    She walked to the crew and found Mo Liuxi sitting on the side. She hadnt seen him for a while. The weather had be cold. He was wearing a id coat and a scarf, looking gentle and elegant, even though he was just sitting there without doing anything.

 Chapter 1364. Lets Go Get Beijing Duck After This, Shall We?

    Chapter 1364. Let''s Go Get Beijing Duck After This, Shall We?


    She remembered thest time they met.


    On the bed in Venice, she was curled up in the sheets. She watched him get up. He had piercing eyes.


    He looked over at her casually now, as if nothing had happened between them.


    Yan Sus mind was nk as if someone had doused cold water on her. She had pictured this scene many times in her head before, how it would be when they met again. Watching him now, she had no idea what he was thinking.


    She decided she might as well stop trying to think about that. She sat down, smiling at Ji Nuanyi, Cheng Sheng, and Shi Xiang.


    Susu, why did you lose so much weight aftering back from Venice? Shi Xiang frowned when he saw her. Is it thepetition? Dont be too hard on yourself. Youre doing great.


    Its all right. Im enjoying myself. Yan Su smiled. She had realized her potential during thepetition.


    Ji Nuanyi said, Look at how popr you are now. Youre almost at the same level as us.


    Li Mingughed. How the tides have changed. You were just a newbiest year, and now youre one of the hottest young singers in the country, all in a year!


    Yan Suughed with embarrassment at theirpliments. She looked over at Ye Yunchang, who was using his phone.


    She remembered how he had been kind and friendly to herst year when they parted ways, but he didnt even look up to acknowledge her today when she arrived.


    She had expected this. She represented them and had gone to the Venice Film Festival as well. Ye Yunchang might have been a little ufortable about that. It was such a grand event, after all. Everyone would have liked the opportunity to be in the international spotlight.


    Mo Liuxi was flipping through the itinerary and said, Its easy to be famous. Its hard for fame tost. Look at the singer who participated in King of Asiast year. He was popr then too, but nobody even talks about him now.


    Yan Sus smile was frozen when she looked over at him. Ji Nuanyi said, No one would take you for a mute if you dont speak.


    Yan Su said softly, Dont say that, Sister Nuanyi. Director Mos words do make some sense.


    Mo Liuxis lips curled into a smirk. There will be a lot of people who will try to tter you when you be popr. Honest, sincere advice will be hard toe by.


    Ji Nuanyi ignored him and continued to talk to Yan Su, We all havent seen each other in so long. Lets go get Beijing duck after this, shall we?


    Yan Su said apologetically, Ill have to pass. I have something on after this.


    Mo Liuxi looked disappointed. Ji Nuanyi proceed to ask him, Liuxi, are youing along?


    Nope. Whats so great aboutBeijing duck? asked Mo Liuxi cooly.


    Ji Nuanyi didnt say a word. She knew he was more dissatisfied with thepany than the taste of Beijing duck.


    The event ended after half an hour, and Yan Su excused herself to go to the washroom. When she walked out, Mo Liuxi was walking toward her; his expression was distant and unfriendly.


    Yan Su felt something pressing against her chest and was getting a little breathless.


    When Mo Liuxi was standing before her, he blocked her path with his big and tall frame and ced his arm on the wall, suggesting that he was purposely blocking her way.


    Yan Su looked up at him silently. He was quiet, too.


    She could hear the sound of chatter from not far away, and they stood in silence for about a minute. Finally, Yan Su blurted out, Do you want to have some more milk?


    Mo Liuxi,


    Yan Su realized what she had just said, and she was blushing now, Sorry, Im no longer breastfeeding.

 Chapter 1365. I Shant Refuse Then, Since Youve Extended the Invitation Yourself

    Chapter 1365. I Shan''t Refuse Then, Since You''ve Extended the Invitation Yourself


    Mo Liuxi,


    He was taken aback. Is that what youre thinking about nowadays? Since when do you have such dirty thoughts?


    Yan Su said nothing.


    She wanted to knock her head against the wall. Yeah, since when did she have such dirty thoughts?


    Maybe because Ive been too tired recently, I havent been resting well Yan Su stuttered. It was a slip of the tongue, and she tried to defend herself.


    So, youre saying whateveres to your mind? Mo Liuxi was grinning now.


    Yan Su,


    Her attempts were futile at this point.


    What do you want? Im going to go. she just wanted to escape the situation.


    Mo Liuxi turned his body and stuck out his foot to block her path instead. I helped you several times in Venice, and Ive helped you keep your secret. Dont you think you should show me some gratitude?


    Yan Su was angry. She blurted out again, Whats there to thank? Ive let you drink milk a couple of times, havent I?


    Mo Liuxi,


    He cleared this throat. He was a little flustered now, no matter how thick-skinned he was. Yan Su, you


    Yan Su was shocked at what she had just said and quickly covered her mouth. She must be exhausted.


    Um I have a headache. Yan Su rubbed her temples gently and said, I just ended thepetitionst night. I was so excited about winning first ce that I didnt get much sleep.


    Mo Liuxi was quiet. He was still staring at her.


    Yan Su finally admitted defeat, and she said weakly, How about I buy you dinner?


    I thought you said you had something on tonight? Mo Liuxi grunted.


    Im picking someone up, and then we can have dinner together, Yan Su said.


    Male or female? Mo Liuxi looked displeased. He didnt like the idea of someone else intruding on them.


    Neither. Yan Su hesitated before exining further, Its my brother.


    You have a brother? Mo Liuxi was surprised.


    Yeah.


    All right. I wont refuse then since youve extended the invitation yourself. Ill make apromise. He put his hands in his pockets and walked away.


    Yan Su watched him from the back, and she was amused. He just had to have thest word. She shouldnt have invited him, after all.


    When they were in the parking lot, Mo Liuxi said, Wait here for me. We can take my car.


    Yan Su was shocked. You have a car here in Beijing too?


    I borrowed it from a friend.


    After Mo Liuxi left to get his car, Yan Su called Jiaojiao to tell her to return to the hotel first. Five minutester, a silver BMW pulled up in front of her, and Yan Su looked at the car. It wasnt a shy sports car, not in Beijing. At least, the windows were heavily tinted.


    She sat in the passenger seat and said to Mo Liuxi, Drive to the Capital Museum.


    Mo Liuxi started the car without saying anything.


    On their way there, Mo Liuxi asked, Have you made any reservations?


    Nope, well see where my brother wants to go.


    Mo Liuxi was a little upset. She was supposed to treat him to dinner. Why didnt she ask for his opinion?


    Yan Su hesitated for a moment and finally said, Oh right. If my dades, can you tell him youre my chauffeur?


    Mo Liuxi red at her in disbelief. You didnt tell me your father would being along too.


    My dad wont be joining us. Hell be having dinner with his old ssmates, but he might be walking my brother outter, Yan Su said innocently. My dad is very wary and hostile toward the men around me.

 Chapter 1366. Dont touch me with Your Dirty Pig Trotters

    Chapter 1366. Don''t touch me with Your Dirty Pig Trotters


    Mo Liuxi pouted. Thats true. If I were your father, I would have felt the same way.


    Sighing, Yan Su asked, Will you be joining us for dinner or not?


    Mo Liuxi grunted, his mood suddenly turning foul.


    Five minutester, Yan Jin came toddling out with his Peppa pig backpack.


    Yan Su opened the car door and waved at him excitedly. Yan Jins eyes lit up, and he shed them a brilliant smile, toddling along even faster now.


    When he got to the car, he hopped onto the leather seats.


    Before he could shout sister, he noticed a stranger sitting next to Yan Su. He was examining Mo Liuxi, a guy who was dressed just like the models in the magazines. Yan Jin was wary all of a sudden and jumped into Yan Sus arms, Ma, I missed you so much.


    Yan Su was startled.


    Mo Liuxis eyes nearly popped out of his sockets. Ma? His face filled with questions.


    He felt anger bubbling in his chest, and his head was dizzy.


    Yan Su, what do you mean by this? You didnt tell me your son was around too. Mo Liuxi was ring. His anger felt like an eruption he couldnt contain.


    He had tried his best not to think about what happened in the past, but here she was with her son. What did she mean by this? Was she suggesting that he would need to ept the son she had with another man if they were to reconcile?


    Yan Su made a face and looked him in the eye. Silly! Can you please use your brain? Do you think I could have a son this age? Hes just a toddler! He cant run yet.


    Mo Liuxi started to calm down. Yeah, well. Okay. She was right. Little Apple, who was much younger, couldnt even walk yet.


    Suddenly, he felt even worse than before. You had a son even before this?


    His face was ghastly pale now. This was the maximum he could handle. He would go crazy if she had another son; he wasnt confident to say that he wouldnt strangle her to death there and then.


    Mo Liuxi, whats wrong with you? How could you think that of me? Yan Su felt anger welling up inside her. She grabbed a cushion behind her and threw it at his face, This is my brother, dumbbell. All right?


    But hes calling you Ma, Mo Liuxi shouted.


    Ma, hes mean. Yan Jin was snuggling deeper into her arms. Yan Su didnt know whether to be angry or amused. She felt as if she were dealing with two children at the moment.


    Jin, Im going to be angry if you keep this up. Yan Su cupped his tiny face in her hands. Im going to call Ma and tell her that you dont want her anymore.


    No, no, Yan Jin shook his head quickly. Theres a saying that an older sister is like a mother. Im not wrong in that sense.


    Yan Su sighed. She hadnt seen her little brother in a while, and he had grown so much since then. He could say all these sophisticated things now, showing off his knowledge and everything.


    I believe you, I believe you now, Mo Liuxi nodded his head suddenly. Your son wouldnt be as intelligent as he is.


    Pfft! What nerve! She wished she could just get out of the car. They hadnt even arrived at the restaurant, and they were already bickering.


    Oh, really? Dont regret what you said today, Yan Su smirked.


    Sensing the coolness in her voice, Mo Liuxi quickly added, But your brother is adorable. Im sure hell grow up to be a good-looking guy.


    He reached out and pinched Yan Jins cheeks.


    Yan Jin dodged his hands and said, Dont touch me with your dirty pig feet.


    Mo Liuxi was astonished, What did he just say?


    Yan Su was holding back a giggle now, Jin, where did you learn that?

 Chapter 1367. You have to Please the little Brother if You Wish to Win over My Sisters Heart

    Chapter 1367. You have to Please the little Brother if You Wish to Win over My Sister''s Heart


    Yan Jin cocked his head and said, Ma watches television about the emperor and his concubines. Shes always in a bad mood afterward. She calls Pa a big fat pig.


    Yan Su,


    She knew which show he was referring to but was still awed by her little brothers linguistic abilities.


    Mo Liuxi was grinning, too. Of course, he knew that show. After all, he was a director in the entertainment industry, and his professor often talked about the show in ss and case studies.


    Even a young child could understand


    Mo Liuxi looked at Yan Su and asked, How old is your brother?


    Im turning four ording to the lunar calendar, Yan Jin answered quickly.


    Mo Liuxi,


    Yan Su was amused, Three.


    Mo Liuxi sputtered, Your parents are amazing. How did they manage to have a son at this age? Were they disappointed when you left home? They must have wanted to have another kid.


    Yan Su rolled her eyes at him. She was still feeling very guilty about leaving home. She cleared her throat and looked down at Yan Jins head.


    Yan Jin said, My dad is young and fit.


    Mo Liuxi nearly choked again and said, Little man, tell brother. What do you want to eat?


    Yan Jin thought about it and said coyly, Are you trying to get on my good side? Thats how it goes on television. You have to please the little brother if you wish to win over my sisters heart.


    You little kid, you know nothing. Mo Liuxi felt as if hed just been outed and quickly denied Yan Jins usations.


    Yan Su was perplexed; it was troubling that her brother was so precocious. It wasnt cute at all. Jin, dont be ridiculous, she said. This is just a friend whos working with me.


    After a momentary pause, Yan Jin shook his head vigorously, Miaomiao said theres no such thing as a tonic friendship between men and women.


    Yan Su was embarrassed now. Why would Miaomiao say something like that?


    She said that to me when I was ying with Xiao Meimei, our neighbor. She called her my girlfriend and said that friendship was just an excuse for romance to bud, Yan Jin grunted loudly with his nose held high.


    The adults in the car were silent now. Yan Su was blushing ear to her ear, and Mo Liuxis expression looked awkward.


    Why arent you guys talking anymore? Yan Jin asked curiously.


    Mo Liuxis lip trembled, and he turned up the radio.


    His brain was busy searching for the right thing to say. He was truthfully intimidated by this three-year-old in front of him.


    What were Yan Sus parents like? How did they manage to give birth to such a mature little tyke?


    Yan Su had to change the subject. So Jin, can you tell your sister what you would like to eat tonight? If youre not going to answer me, Ill have to take you to eat some sashimi.


    No, no, no! I dont like raw meat. Yan Jin was shocked. He shook his head to protest and said, I want to have McDonalds or Kentucky Fried Chicken.


    Nope, said Yan Su, shaking her head. You can have some wings after dinner, but you cant have KFC as your main meal.


    Yan Jin was disappointed and said, Lets have Peking duck then. I like that.


    Yan Su thought about Mo Liuxi, who said he didnt like Peking duck and felt a little torn.


    Lets have Peking duck then, at the most authentic ce. Mo Liuxi started the car.


    Yan Su hugged Yan Su in herp, and Yan Jin snuggled into her embrace. Sister, youve lost weight. I cant bear to see you so skinny.

 Chapter 1368. Sister, Do you Want to Find a Father for Yan Yan?

    Chapter 1368. Sister, Do you Want to Find a Father for Yan Yan?


    Mo Liuxis mouth was twitching. From the rearview mirror, he could see the little guy sprawled out on Yan Sus chest. He wanted to throw him out the window.


    He finally understood why Nian Junting wasnt so enthusiastic about him.


    Upon reflection, he shouldnt have been so picky when he met Nian Junting.


    If he were morepassionate, he would have treated him morepassionately as well.


    Jin is getting chubbier, though. You look so cute. I like you even more now. Yan Su hugged him tightly and kissed him on his cheeks. Tell me what you want Jin. Ill buy you anything you want.


    Sister, youre the best! Yan Jin climbed onto her shoulder and whispered into her ear, Sister, are you trying to find Yan Yan a father?


    Yan Su,


    Yan Jin appeared worried. Sister, dont be like this. Good-looking guys arent trustworthy. Ma always talks about how worried she is that you might be whisked away again by some gorgeous guy.


    Yan Sus head throbbed, and she said, Jin, I know youre worried about me, but were just having dinner tonight. Dont read too much into it. Youre too little now. You wont understand either.


    Yan Jin copied her and sighed as well, Its troubling to have an older sister as well; Im always worried you might be fooled.


    Sometimes, she couldnt believe he was her little brother.


    Mo Liuxi turned to her and said, No wonder hes your brother. You both know about romantic rtionships and eloping in high school.


    Yan Su regretted asking him out to dinner. SighIt was going to be a long night!


    When they got to the restaurant, Yan Su asked worryingly, Do you think Nuanyi is eating here too?


    They probably went to Quan Jude, not here, Mo Liuxi exined. There are a lot of Peking duck shops in Beijing now that areparable to Quan Jude. This ce has a good ambiance, and its quite private as well.


    He got out of the car, and Yan Su carried Yan Jin out. The restaurant design was a traditional courtyard with several expensive cars parked outside. It wasnt a ce the general public would know about. How do you know about this ce?


    My friend rmended it to me; hes a local here. Mo Liuxi put on his scarf and walked in. It was already snowing in Beijing and there was a chill in the air.


    Yan Su put on a mask, a scarf, and a beanie on Yan Jin to make sure he didnt catch a cold.


    When they walked in, the waitress brought them to a private room. The snow was starting to umte outside, and Yan Jin ran to the engraved window to look out at the scenery. Sister, this looks like our backyard.


    Hmm. Yan Sus family must be well to do, Mo Liuxi thought raising his brow.


    Jin,e over here. What would you like? Yan Su waved at him.


    Peking duck. I want to have lots of Peking duck. Andmb chops, steak, pork chops too! With chili, of course. I love them all, Yan Jin chirped happily pping his hands.


    Ah, quite a carnivore, Mo Liuxi remarked knowingly. Are you able to take spicy food at such a young age?


    Yan Su smiled, You might already know this, but the people of Jiangxi are good at tolerating spicy foods. Jin has loved barbecue since he was very young. He loves spicy food with a passion. But he shouldnt have too much of it.


    She ordered a few specialty dishes and three cups of the Beijing yogurt drink too.


    When the waiter left, Yan Jin climbed onto the chair and looked at Mo Liuxi, Uncle, how old are you this year?


    Mo Liuxi nearly choked on his water. Then he inhaled deeply and said through gritted teeth, I am your sisters friend, so you should call me brother.

 Chapter 1369. My Brother Is Around...

    Chapter 1369. My Brother Is Around...


    Yan Jin shook his head and said thoughtfully, Im not convinced by this reason.


    Mo Liuxi looked at this dudes cute little face and couldnt help wondering what Yan Sus father looked like. If his son behaved like this, imagine what he was likelike father, like son.


    Well, actually, Im younger than your sister. Mo Liuxi didnt want to tell the truth either, but Yan Jin left him with no choice.


    Oh my God! Yan Jins round eyes were opened wide. I couldnt tell, he said.


    Yes. Because I look older, Im more mature, Mo Liuxi was rather pleased with his retort.


    No, no. Yan Jin was shaking his head, vigorously. Are you going to date my sister who is older than you? I can tell you in a straightforward manner that you are too young.


    Mo Liuxi,


    He wanted to toss him out on his ear for his impertinence.


    Yan Su swallowed her water quickly and interrupted their conversation, Jin, stop being silly. Try your yogurt drink. Its good.


    I need to be your watchman, Yan Jin said thoughtfully. Ma said Im a man and have to protect you. You were hurt in the past because I wasnt around yet.


    Yan Su was touched by his heroic deration but didnt feel like talking. Mo Liuxi stood up and said, Ill be right back. Im going to the washroom.


    He needed some time to simmer down. He had a feeling a long, drawn-out battle was ahead of him.


    When Mo Liuxi got up, Yan Su looked down at Yan Jin and said seriously, Promise me youll stay out of these adult matters, okay? Youre starting to make us ufortable. Besides, youre only three. You just need to take care of yourself. Dont worry about me.


    Fine. Yan Jin shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms in frustration. In that case, he would just observe the situation if his sister was too ufortable.


    Ten minutester, Mo Liuxi returned from the washroom and sat back down. Yan Jin was chatting about animation films with him now, Lets y, guess the character. Do you know the name of Peppas brother?


    Mo Liuxi, Nope. I dont know. You tell me.


    Yan Jin shrugged his shoulders at Yan Su. You guys go ahead. I dont know what else to talk to him about. He has too little knowledge.


    Yan Su,


    A minuteter, she received a text message from Mo LiuxiAre you sure youre buying me dinner to thank me and not to punish me?


    Feeling helpless, Yan Su shot him a nce and typedMy brother thinks youre courting me.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her text and rubbed his hair. It took him a minute before he repliedI understand now. He thinks youre bringing me home to meet the family.


    Yan Su looked at his reply. Phew! The room was starting to get warmer. Even though it was cold outside, it was hot in here.


    Mo Liuxi grinned when he saw how much she was blushing. He texted her againWrap some Peking duck for meter.


    Yan Su had a headacheMy brother is around


    Mo Liuxi repliedI dont care.


    He put down his phone and looked at her innocently.


    When the Peking duck was served, Yan Jin started swinging his legs excitedly, Sister, make a wrap for me! I want one.


    Yan Su looked at Mo Liuxi and started making Yan Jin a wrap. Mo Liuxi began to create one at the same time, and he quickly finished it and handed it over to Yan Jin.


    I dont want yours, Yan Jin snarled.


    Im sorry. Then youll have to make one yourself. The one your sister is making is mine. Mo Liuxi took the wrap from Yan Su and stuffed it into his mouth.


    Yan Jin was annoyed, I cant believe you said you werent interested in my sister just now.


    Did I say that? Mo Liuxi asked.

 Chapter 1370. Why Do I Think you Look a Little like my little Niece?

    Chapter 1370. Why Do I Think you Look a Little like my little Niece?


    Yan Sus heart was beating very fast now. It was the first time he had shown his intentions since they had reconnected.


    Was he thinking about the same thing she was? She felt a burning intensity in her chest.


    She was so pleasantly lost in thought that she didnt hear Mo Liuxi tapping his fingers on the table to get her attention. AhemI want some more, he said yfully.


    Me too, said Yan Jin knocking on the table.


    Oh, sure thing, she chirped happily. Yan Su was making wraps for Mo Liuxi while Mo Liuxi was making them for Yan Jin. When they had gone through nearly an entire stack of crepes, Yan Su said, You guys are too much. I havent had a single wrap yet.


    Mo Liuxi and Yan Jin looked at each other in surprise and started making wraps for her. Mo Liuxi was naturally faster, but Yan Jin was no match for him. Yan Jin grabbed a few pieces of duck and made a sloppy wrap and handed it over to Yan Su. Sis, eat mine, he said.


    Ovee with tenderness, Yan Su looked at the two wraps in front of her. The gesture was so sweet, and she felt loved.


    She lowered her head and took a bite out of Yan Jins wrap. Mmm. So good! When she saw Mo Liuxis unhappy expression, she quickly took a bite of his wrap.


    She ate both wraps even though she wasnt particrly fond of Peking duck.


    Nevertheless, she finished them both. Mo Liuxi and Yan Jin finished two wraps together.


    Yan Jin was a glutton! He was crazy about Peking duck, but Mo Liuxi? Well, it wasnt his favorite.


    Yan Su crossed her arms and looked at him. I remember someone telling Nuanyi that he wasnt a big fan of Peking duck in the afternoon.


    Thats right! And the reason isevery bite is so delicious. Mo Liuxi looked satisfied after the meal. Especially the skin, its sweeter than honey.


    Agreed. Yan Jin nodded his head emphatically. This is a lot better than the duck ces my dad has brought me.


    You like it too? Mo Liuxis eyes lit up. They gave each other an exuberant high five. Finally, they were on the same page. I know a lot of other yummy restaurants in Beijing. Im the most experienced and well-versed when ites to food. Yogurt, milk tea, barbecue, ice creamyou name it. I know all the good spots. If you call me brother, Ill take you out for ice cream after this.


    Yan Jin was ted. Okay, okay, brother. Deal!


    Yan Su frowned. When she brought Yan Jin to the bathroom, she couldnt help but say, Jin, he managed to win you over with just a little bit of food?


    Yan Jin looked at her and shrugged. Sister, youre too naive. Were just acquaintances who enjoyed a good time together. Whoever invests more feelings will be the loser.


    She suddenly felt awful for Mo Liuxi, who was trying so hard to win over her little brother. It was a side of him she hadnt seen before. Gosh, what a cynic her brother was at the tender age of three


    When they were leaving, Yan Su went to the counter to pay the bill, but the cashier told her it had already been taken care of.


    She looked at Mo Liuxi with a confused expression. I thought I said my treat?


    This ones on me. You can pay next time, Mo Liuxi said lowly as he yed with his car keys.


    The next meal


    Yan Sus heart skipped a beat when she was still in a daze. Mo Liuxi had already walked out of the restaurant with Yan Jin in his arms.


    It was so cold outside that their eyes were tearing up. Mo Liuxi wrapped his coat around Yan Jin as he carried him to the car.


    Yan Jin turned to look at him, his expression a little taken aback.


    What are you looking at, little man? Is it because of my looks? Mo Liuxi asked coolly.


    Yan Jin scratched his head. Howe you look like my little niece?


    Little niece?


    You mean Yan Sus daughter? Mo Liuxis expression was cold now as if someone had just sprinkled salt on his wound. He didnt want to think about the reality yet, but the truth was inescapable.

 Chapter 1371. Hard to endure the passion building within him

    Chapter 1371. Hard to endure the passion building within him


    Nothing. Mo Liuxi started the car and turned his back to her aloofly.


    Yan Jin crossed his arms like an adult, too. Nothing.


    Yan Su,


    At eight-thirty that night, Mo Liuxi parked his car in a small shopping mall. There are tons of ygrounds and y areas here. Go ahead and take Yan Jin; Ill catch up after I get some ice cream.


    Can I go too? Yan Jin badly wanted to pick his own vor.


    Mmmm. Its a trendy ce, and your sister is a public figure, Mo Liuxi reminded him.


    Okay. I want the most popr vor. No durian, though. Yan Jin stepped out of the car with his tiny legs.


    The car was so quiet. Yan Su put on her face mask; only her big bright eyes were visible. Ill get out too then


    Just like that, huh Mo Liuxi raised his chin grouchily. Dont you think youve put me through enough tonight? I bought you guys dinner, and now ice cream, and chauffeured you around


    What do you want then? Those words hurt. Yan Su felt terrible for imposing on him like thisGosh, they were all having such a great time together a few minutes ago. What flipped the switch? This guy was such an unpredictable grump.


    Mo Liuxis gaze drifted down and paused for a split second at her chest. Yan Su noticed it too and quickly covered up the stain.


    He was grinning now. Dont worry. Im not asking for milk.


    Pervert, Yan Su cursed. She got out of the car and mmed the door shut.


    Wait. Give me your phone number. Mo Liuxi popped his head out of the car and said, I need to know where to find you guyster.


    OMG! Yan Su realized they still hadnt exchanged phone numbers after reuniting.


    She gave him her number and he drove away.


    Yan Jin said boldly, Hes trying to hit on you, but he just managed to get your phone number?


    Hes not trying to hit on me, Yan Su bent down and said gently.


    Yes, he is. I can tell, even though Im only four. Yan Jin was pulling her toward the elevator.


    Yan Su was caught unawares. Was Mo Liuxi trying to woo her?


    When they got to the y area, Yan Jin became a regr kid. Within seconds he was running around and screaming with the other children having a grand old time.


    Yan Su found a spot to sit by herself. After twenty minutes, Mo Liuxi called, and she told him where they were. A short whileter, he appeared with three paper boxes in his hands. He was wearing a face mask, but Yan Su still recognized him right away.


    Walking over to where she was sitting, Mo Liuxi opened the three boxes revealing the amazing contents. Whoa! There were three scrumptious-looking, eyecatching portions of ice cream. There were nut sprinkles, dried fruit, and chocte drizzle over them, and it was so colorful and mesmerizing. Yan Jin couldnt wait to dig in.


    The brownie hazelnut is for your brother. The other two are rum and vani. Take your pick, Mo Liuxi said.


    What do you want? Yan Su asked after thinking for a second.


    Vani. Mo Liuxi thought she was going to leave the vor he wanted for himself.


    Yan Su nodded after saying, Oh. Then she took the vani one and quickly took a bite out of it.


    Mo Liuxi,


    Hehehe. Yan Su giggled mischievously when she saw his bbergasted expression. She was in a good mood. It was one of the rare asions when she could bully him instead.


    Her smile was bright, and her eyes were yful and cheeky. Mo Liuxi hadnt seen her like this in a long time and felt a fire burning in his chest. It was hard to endure the passion building within him.

 Chapter 1372. Their Lips Were Pressed together

    Chapter 1372. Their Lips Were Pressed together


    Are you doing that on purpose? he asked, raising a brow.


    Doing what? Since when did I say anything about leaving your favorite vor for you? Yan Su was grinning deviously, looking like a sly fox.


    Mo Liuxi looked at for a while before he removed his mask. He bent down, leaned in, and took a bite out of the ice cream she had just eaten from.


    Yan Su was stunned. Wasnt this the same as an indirect kiss?


    Although this teasing was nothingpared to what they had before, she was still flustered, and her heart was racing. They were in a gray area now, flirting with each other. It felt like first loveheady and giddythe woosh of adrenaline. She worried about losing him. They inwardly pondered each others intentions, and every bit of affection tasted sweeter than honey.


    The two of them had so much history between thembut s, so much conflict. But every time they met, there was a fantastic physical pull. Each had the power to effect a response from the other, and sometimes it was irritating in the extreme.


    What are you thinking about? Mo Liuxi was displeased when she looked distracted. Youre not thinking about Shi Xiang, are you? he asked.


    No, Im not. Im thinking of calling Jin. Yan Su changed out of her shoes and went in to get him from the y area.


    Yan Jin took a bite out of his ice cream happily. His whole face lit up, This is so delicious. How can ice cream be so good?


    Yan Suughed. She was inclined to agree. This ice cream, in particr, was scrumptious: smooth and creamy, definitely the best shed ever tasted. Indeed, Mo Liuxis a real foodie.


    Her mind wandered back to when they were together and how he had always managed to get her yogurt, ice cream, milk, tea, and all sorts of goodies to please her. They had tried the best sashimi, crabs, lobsters, beef, and exotica. Everything always tasted much better than anything shed had before, and on top of that, he was a good cook, toono wonder she had put on quite a bit of weight when they were together.


    Hmmm. Yan Jin nodded his little head. Brother Mo, I think we can be good friends after all.


    Mo Liuxi grinned. I know a perfect breakfast ce in Beijing. I can deliver breakfast to you tomorrow.


    Youre willing to do that? Yan Jin stopped licking his ice cream and widened his eyes. His mouth was covered with ice cream, and he said, I think delivering breakfast to me is just a cover-up. You just want to deliver breakfast to my sister.


    Yan Su was embarrassed, but Mo Liuxi yed along without missing a beat. No, I just think youre a connoisseur, like me. Its rare to meet a friend with simr interests.


    Yan Jin widened his adorable eyes and nodded his head happily. Remember what you said then? You dont want to deliver breakfast to my sister, and you dont fancy my sister. If you end up together with her in the future, youre a little pig.


    Yan Jin walked away with his ice cream afterward.


    Mo Liuxi nearly bit his tongue. That little imp justid down a trap for him.


    Yan Su burst into giggles and shrugged her shoulders helplessly. What can I say?!


    What are youughing at? Mo Liuxi sat down beside her.


    Imughing cause you just got snubbed. Yan Su chuckled. This is payback for all the times youve bullied me.


    Whos the bully between us? Now think carefully before answering, Mo Liuxi quipped. The more ice cream he ate, the more upset he got. He grabbed Yan Sus ice cream and took another two bites of it. Mmm. My favorite vor.


    Yan Su was annoyed too, so she grabbed his ice cream and took a big bite.


    It was so big that she was gasping from the coldness. She had sensitive teeth and couldnt close her mouth.


    Stupid. Mo Liuxi leaned forward and said, Spit it out. Ill bite half of it.


    Without thinking, Yan Su spat out half the ice cream. Mo Liuxi bit the ice cream, and their lips pressed together. The ice cream was split in two, and the sweetness melted in the back of their throats. Things were heating up!

 Chapter 1373. So Sweet

    Chapter 1373. So Sweet


    Their eyes were locked on each other.


    Their minds went nk for a split second.


    Mo Liuxi swallowed a little. He tried hard to hold himself back from kissing her further.


    Their lips parted, and Yan Su pursed her lips. She was in a daze and Mo Liuxi said beside her, So sweet.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at him, he was wiping the corner of his mouth with his slender fingers, I hope you dont think I meant that your lips were sweet, I was referring to the ice cream.


    Yan Su,


    Her heartthrob was an illusion.


    The ice cream was too big, and Yan Su ended up not finishing the entire thing. When Mo Liuxi was done with his, he finished hers as well when she was about to throw the remaining away.


    They were there till ten oclock till the mall was about to close. Yan Su finally dragged Yan Jin out of the y area.


    Its so early, Sister. How about we grab supper? Yan Jin wasnt under Yan Lus supervision now. He was a free bird.


    No, youve eaten your share tonight. Look at how round your stomach is, Im going to have to send you back to Pa if you keep whining, Yan Su rubbed his round belly and said gently but firmly.


    Yan Jin was quiet now.


    When they were back in the hotel, Mo Liuxi got off the car as well. Yan Jin was shocked, Are you going to be sleeping in the same hotel room as us


    Mo Liuxi looked amused, I have a room in the same hotel as your sister, just like the rest of the production crew, is that very out of the ordinary?


    Oh, you scared me there, Yan Jin patted his little chest.


    Mo Liuxi,


    The three of them boarded the elevator, and the doors opened on level one. Ji Nuanyi was wearing a mask, and she walked in with her arms around Xiao Si.


    The four of them looked at each other and blinked their eyes. Xiao Si looked down at the little kid between the two of them, at Yan Jin. He had met Yan Su and Mo Liuxi before, how did the two of them end up together? Who was the little man anyway?


    So the reason why you didnt join us for Peking duck was that the two of you had a date, Ji Nuanyi grinned.


    No, I had to apany my little brother, Yan Su stroked Yan Jins head, Greet them.


    Hello, Sister, hello brother, Yan Jin greeted them cheerfully.


    Mo Liuxi was upset, look at this man. He was calling Xiao Si brother so quickly. He had to bribe him to be called brother. Xiao Si was so much older than him as well.


    You have such a young brother? Xiao Si looked at Yan Jin in disbelief, Your parents are amazing.


    Yan Su was sweating, and everyone would say that about her parents whenever they met Yan Jin, Are you here to spend time with Nuanyi in Beijing?


    Yeah, Xiao Si said through smiling eyes, Shes so busy, I have toe over to see her.


    He looked over at Mo Liuxi, I dont think your body is that much nicer than mine.


    Mo Liuxi and Yan Su were both speechless. He was saying this because Ji Nuanyi had stolen a few nces at Mo Liuxi in Venice when he had his top off.


    Oh right, Mo Liuxi crossed his chest, Thest time my sister was looking for some things at home, and she found a huge stash of adult magazines in their storage room. My sister said that it was your prized collection, when are you going back there to take them back? Its taking up an awful lot of space. She doesnt want to throw them away either. Theyre your possessions. She doesnt want to upset you.


    The elevator was silent.


    Xiao Si cleared his throat and said, This is a misunderstanding. I bought those for Nian Junting years ago when he injured his leg. He just looked so bored at home. I hate those things.


    Oh? Mo Liuxi feigned ignorance, My sister told me quite clearly that it was your prized collection. ssic magazines, huh.

 Chapter 1374. You Are Really the Same As Your Brother-in-Law

    Chapter 1374. You Are Really the Same As Your Brother-in-Law


    I couldnt tell that you had such peculiar interests. Ji Nuanyi was smiling in a forced manner. He was really making an impression on her.


    Xiao Si was about to break down. Nuan Nuan


    Ji Nuanyi grunted and let go of his arm. She then crossed her arms and turned her face away from him.


    When the elevator reached the tenth floor, she walked out quickly.


    You are really the same as your brother-inw. Xiao Si red at Mo Liuxi before running out of the lift chasing after Ji Nuanyi. Nuan Nuan, wait for me


    They could hear his desperate wails. Yan Su almost felt bad for him. He didnt say anything. He was just jealous that Ji Nuanyi felt that you had a good physique


    So what if he was jealous? Does it give him the right to go around snubbing people? If his body is not as nice as mine, he should be going to the gym to train instead of making snide remarks. Anyway, its not good for men to read those kinds of magazines anyway. Ji Nuanyi should keep him in check, Mo Liuxi said.


    What man doesnt like that kind of stuff? As if you havent browsed one yourself. Yan Su pursed her lips.


    Yan Jin had a confused expression on his face. Sister, what do men like to read?


    Stay out of it, youre just a child. Yan Su dragged Yan Jin out of the elevator.


    Mo Liuxi followed after them. Ive seen one before.


    Who would believe you? Yan Su didnt want to discuss the topic any further in front of Yan Jin, so she quickened her footsteps.


    Only old men do such stuff. Mo Liuxi grunted softly.


    Yan Su stopped in her tracks. Do you stay on the twelfth floor too?


    No, I stay on the 14th floor. Mo Liuxi shook his head.


    Why arent you going to the 14th floor then? Why are you following me around? Yan Su asked.


    I had too much to eat, so Im taking a stroll to digest my food and to get some exercise. I need to burn off the calories. Do you have a problem with that? Mo Liuxi asked her.


    Yan Su,


    On the tenth floor, Ji Nuanyi took off her down jacket as she walked into the hotel room. Xiao Si pounced on her as soon as he saw her exquisite figure. He hugged her tightly from behind as she turned to look at him. She was holding a small bottle in her hands.


    What is this? Xiao Si was a little intimidated.


    This is an anti-molester spray. Do you want to have a taste of it? Ji Nuanyi was eerily smirking. I heard that if this stuff gets into your eyes you wont be able to open them for three days.


    Xiao Sis legs were trembling now. Nuan Nuan, why would you carry this with you? Youre a girl. You have plenty of security personnel around you all the time.


    Just in case, Ji Nuanyi said casually. There are plenty of perverts out there in this world.


    Im not one of them. Xiao Si truly wanted to murder Mo Liuxi at that moment. Nian Junting had warned him how annoying he was in the past. He shouldnt have provoked him. He should have just ignored him.


    Youre a pervert for collecting adult magazines for your own pleasure. Dont tell me youre collecting them for research on the female anatomy. Ji Nuanyi was expressionless. The only difference between you and a pervert is that you might not have acted on your desires. You merely buried your dirty thoughts in your own mind.


    Nuan Nuan, you cant say that. Im actually studying the swimwear styles, Xiao Si said. I wanted to open a swimwearpany back then.


    Yeah, to ogle at more swimwear models in the future. Ji Nuanyi nodded her head.


    Xiao Si,


    Nuan Nuan, I was wrong, Xiao Si finally said. I was ignorant and young before I met you. I never met a woman that I liked, and I only browsed through that material when I was bored. I promise Im not a flippant person. Just think about how inexperienced and clumsy I am in bed. You cant undermine my character just like that.

 Chapter 1375. Ive Been Trying to Get You Out of the House but You Never Want To

    Chapter 1375. I''ve Been Trying to Get You Out of the House but You Never Want To


    Shut up. Ji Nuanyi rolled her eyes. I barely looked at Mo Liuxi and just paid him a littlepliment. You argued with me over that for over a few days. Reflect on yourself. Do you have the right to get upset with me? Youve been looking at womens bodies in magazines, havent you?


    Xiao Si held up his fingers. Ive never looked at them ever since we started dating, I swear.


    Ill be a pig if I ever believed a mans words. Ji Nuanyi paused before continuing saying, Since you have such eclectic hobbies, I wont stop you then.


    Xiao Si swallowed; he had a bad feeling in his gut.


    Let me grant you your wishes then. Ji Nuanyi called her own assistant. Xiao Lu, go get a female swimwear magazine. I want to gift them to our dear Mr. Xiao the more the better. You can get hundreds of them just let me know how much they cost.


    After she hung up, she said to Xiao Si, The magazines will be here shortly. You will finish all the magazines and I will be doing an inspection after a month.


    What are you doing? Xiao Si was sweating through his shirt.


    Ji Nuanyi was grinning now. Of course I want you to read them till youre happy, till youre satisfied, till youre sick of them before youe see me. Oh yeah, just a gentle reminder no matter what youre going to gift me or how many times youre going toe see me, I wont let you touch me at all. I wont be sleeping with you either.


    She took her pepper spray and approached him again.


    Xiao Si backed away timidly until he was out of the door. Ji Nuanyi said, Xiao Si, I dont want to criticize you but look at the friends you surround yourself with. People like Zhou Yanfeng and Kashiwa, theyre all bad influences. Theyre going through women like theyre shopping for clothes. All you do with them is drink and party. I dont want to put you down but youre over thirty years old now. Its time to work hard. Just look at Nian Junting.


    You want me to emte him? Xiao Si looked at her in disbelief, He


    Ji Nuanyi mmed the door in his face.


    Xiao Si blinked his eyes and grumpily called Nian Junting. Tingting, your brother-inw crossed the line.


    Hmm, what did he do to you? Nian Junting recalled that Mo Liuxi had gone to Beijing that day too. He was trying to connect the dots in his head.


    Xiao Si told him about the encounter he had with Mo Liuxi in the elevator. How could he say something like that? I havent read those magazines in ages. I feel so wronged now.


    Dont be so down, Nian Junting said casually. Ji Nuanyi isnt saying that she wants to break up with you and she didnt hit you. Shes supporting your hobbies and allowing you to fully release yourself. Whats there toin about?


    I


    Besides, she does have a point. What are you still doing hanging out with Zhou Yanfeng and Kashiwa? Im not saying that theyre useless or incapable, but no decent man would be hanging around them as much as you do. Nian Junting interrupted him saying, No decent woman would want to marry you at this rate.


    Dont say that, it chills my heart, Xiao Si said weakly.


    Nian Junting chuckled. Every time I go out to entertain a client, Luosang would question me and warn me about hanging out with people like Zhou Yanfeng. She always threatens me about moving back with her family. Women hate stuff like that. You said you wanted to propose to Ji Nuanyi this year didnt you? Itll be a miracle if she said yes.


    He hung up after that and Xiao Si was stunned. No, he must not let that happen. He was going to be a different man from that day on.


    In the vi, Luosang asked the man who had just put down his phone, Excuse me, when did I ever question and warn you? Ive been trying to get you out of the house, but you never want to.

 Chapter 1376. He Is Yan Yans Father

    Chapter 1376. He Is Yan Yan''s Father


    Nian Junting was instantly annoyed when he heard her questioning tone of voice. Let me ask you this then. Every woman in the world is trying to hold a tight rein over their husbands. What about you? Wives always call their husbands when they go outte at night. Every time Im out, I dont receive a single call from you. Im the one calling you all the time, and youre either shopping or taking a stroll with Little Apple. Its almost as if you are liberated without me around.


    Luosang was speechless from how indignant he was.


    He was lying to her face, and he was acting like he had the moral high ground. I can count on one hand the number of times you are out each month. Thetest youvee home was 8:30 p.m. In the process of having a meal, you would text me over ten times, so how can I have a chance to call you? Other wives are keeping a tight rein over their husbands because their husbands are being disobedient.


    Thats true. Im just too obedient. Nian Junting nodded his head, and he looked pleased with himself. Look at me. Everyone would be so envious of you. How could you find any fault in me?


    When did I ever do such a thing? Luosang sighed.


    Just now! You called me a liar! Arent youining?


    Luosang said nothing.


    He was suggesting that she should close an eye whenever he lied in front of her in the future.


    Nian Junting continued saying, Im just trying to portray myself as someone with a strict wife. I need other women to know that it would be extremely difficult to try to seduce me and difficult to handle my wife at home.


    I am so touched. Luosang was holding back giggles. She had no idea what she should say, but she knew that Nian Junting was a lot better than Xiao Si, who spent his days ying. Xiao Si needs to change if he wants to have a wife. Hes nearly thirty now, so he should behave more mature.


    I agree. I would never marry him if I was Ji Nuanyi. Nian Junting pursed his lips in thought.


    He was speaking as a good brother of Xiao Sis.


    Luosang suddenly felt bad for him.


    In Beijing, at the hotel, Yan Jin had just showered and came out of the washroom. Yan Su was drying him off and helping to dress him.


    Sister, I dont think its possible between you and Xixi, Yan Jin said suddenly.


    Xixi Yan Su thought that she had heard wrong.


    Yeah, his name is tooplicated, and it doesnt sound nice either. I have a hard time remembering his name. Yan Jin sounded frustrated. Ill call him Xixi from now on.


    Yan Su thought about how angry Xixi would be if he found out about his nickname.


    So he knows about Yan Yan? Yan Jin continued saying, I get the feeling that he doesnt like Yan Yan. If youre going to marry someone in the future, you have to marry someone who would ept Yan Yan. I will never let our little princess be treated any less.


    Yan Su was shocked. She curled her lips into a smile. He will ept her.


    No, sister. He doesnt like Yan Yan. Yan Jin couldnt understand why his sister was being so stubborn.


    If he doesnt like her now, he will in the future, Yan Su said with certainty.


    Yan Jin looked at her serious expression and frowned deeply. Sister, youre too intoxicated.


    Yan Su sighed before saying, Im going to tell you a secret, but you have to promise me that this will be between the two of us, the heavens and the earth. You cant tell a single soul what Im about to tell you, including our parents.


    Yes, I promise. Yan Jin quickly made a swearing sign when she said that she was going to tell him a secret.


    Yan Su burst intoughter. He is Yan Yans father. He just doesnt know that Yan Yan is his child yet.


    Yan Jin covered his little mouth in shock; it was a major, earth-shattering secret. He took a long while to digest what she had just said before he replied, No wonder I thought that he looked a lot like Yan Yan.

 Chapter 1377. Ive Already Seen You at Your Worst

    Chapter 1377. I''ve Already Seen You at Your Worst


    Yes.


    Yan Su was rather worried. She hoped that her daughter would also look a little like her after growing up.


    Sis, he is really stupid. Yan Jin didnt hold anything back. He doesnt even know that he has a daughter. However, I think its no good even if he is treats Yan Yan well. He must be good to you too.


    Thats right. Yan Su nodded. Although she was troubled at times by her younger brothers maturity, there were some benefits too.


    Thats why I am in the process of getting to know him. If he isnt a good man, or if he is unfaithful, or has a terrible personality, even if Yan Yan is his daughter, I wont tell him. If he is a good man, we can get together, but if he knows that Yan Yan is his daughter, even if we dont end up together, he will still fight for custody.


    I understand. Yan Jin covered his mouth in all seriousness. I will never let the secret out. Yan Yan is our familys treasure, so she will always be Yan Yan, not Mo Yan.


    Yan Su:


    Indeed, she cannot be named Mo Yan. [1]


    Therefore, remember not to tell mum or dad either.


    All right, this is a secret between sis and me. Yan Jin was especially happy. He finally had a huge secret in his heart, and he instantly felt like an adult.


    As the secret was so heavy, Yan Jin lost sleep and slept all the way till 8:00 a.m. the next morning, showing no signs of waking up.


    Yan Su had just finished freshening up when she heard a knock on the door. She went over to take a look, only to find Mo Liuxi who was there to deliver the promised breakfast. He didnt have any work scheduled today, so he was in a ck longline down jacket, jeans and Dr Martens boots. He had a tall figure, so the outfit didnt look bloated or out of ce on him at all.


    You came a little early. Jin hasnt woken up yet, Yan Su said.


    Yes, I can tell, and you havent even brushed your hair yet. Mo Liuxi nodded. It looks like a birds nest.


    At his words, Yan Su blushed as she red him. When she attended the functionst night, the stylist put a lot of gel in her hair. She should have washed it outst night but as she came back toote, she decided to put it off till this morning. However, because she hadnt had a proper rest recently, she ended up not wanting to get up from bed.


    Am I wrong? Mo Liuxi gave her a toothy smile.


    Im going to wash my hair. Yan Su turned to leave.


    Wash after you eat. Ive already seen you at your worst. Mo Liuxi walked in.


    Yan Jin was sprawled out on the bed with all four of his limbs fully extended. His feet were on the pillow, and only his tummy was covered by the nket.


    Tsk, that pose is really quite something, Mo Liuxi said


    Children all sleep like this. Yan Su turned around to look at him. Mo Liuxi, does your mouth contain poison?


    I havent brushed my teeth yet. You can try smelling if you dont believe me. Mo Liuxi opened his mouth.


    Yan Su thought that he must be crazy, but she was the crazier one for actually walking over and pretending to sniff. Indeed, no wonder your mouth is so stinky, its overwhelmingly stinky


    Mo Liuxis head bent to stare at her lush lips that were moving incessantly, and he shifted forward to hush her pink lips.


    Mo Liuxi, you Yan Su moved away from him at lightspeed. Her head was raised, and her ck shining eyes made her look like a small, frightened deer.


    Its because you said that my breath stinks, so Im going to torment you with my stinky breath. Mo Liuxi continued staring at her unblinkingly. Two red patches appeared on her fair face.


    His eyes shifted, and he moved forward again, pressing their lips together.


    [1] Mo Yan is a famous Chinese novelist who was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature.

 Chapter 1378. Its No Wonder That Yan Yan Eats So Much, She Takes After Xixi

    Chapter 1378. It''s No Wonder That Yan Yan Eats So Much, She Takes After Xixi


    Yan Su tried to calm her racing heart as she said, It is really stinky. It almost makes me want to faint.


    Well, then let it stink for a while more. Mo Liuxi barged into the room while she spoke.


    Yan Sus legs were still numb, and her hands were dangling by her side, clutching onto her pants tightly. She didnt quite know what to do, especially with him kissing her so skillfully.


    When she shyly responded, Mo Liuxi went stiff for a moment, then he lost control and kissed her even harder.


    It still wasnt enough for him. Just as he wanted to throw the breakfast away to embrace her, a sound suddenly came from Yan Jin who was on the bed.


    Yan Su hurriedly pushed him off, turned away and walked towards the bed with her head lowered.


    Mm Yan Jin rolled once on the bed before he stuck his buttocks up in the air and pushed himself up. Sis, Im hungry.


    He rubbed at his eyes with his small, plump hands before he opened them. When he saw Mo Liuxi standing at the edge of the bed, his eyes widened in shock. Xixi, why are you here so early?


    Xixi


    Mo Liuxis mouth twitched; he almost thought that he was hallucinating.


    What did this three-year-old brat call him?


    Thest person who called him that had already been beaten unconscious in the school bathroom.


    Yan Su saw his darkened expression and pasted a smile on her face. Xixi came to deliver breakfast for you.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her without saying anything. His eyes were round and wide in a silent protest.


    Really? Thats great. Yan Jin ran towards Yan Su and jumped on her. Whats for breakfast?


    Mo Liuxi just stared. He didnt want to talk.


    Still, Yan Su took a look at the bag he was holding and said, There is a lot of good food. Shall we brush our teeth first?


    All right. Yan Jin made his way over to the toilet. Yan Su was worried that he would get water on himself, so she followed after him.


    Mo Liuxi stood at the doorway and watched the way Yan Su gently wiped Yan Jins face, mouth, and ear, and even helped him squeeze some toothpaste. For some reason, a weight settled on his heart as he watched the scene.


    Yan Su had a daughter. She probably would take care of her daughter this way as well.


    Even if the two of them got back together, the fact that she already had a child with another man could not be changed.


    He still found it difficult to ept, but even more than that, he couldnt stop himself from getting closer to her like this. This was why he never explicitly said that he wanted to get back together. Although the two of them continued to flirt like this, neither of them broached this topic.


    He vaguely understood, yet he was still afraid.


    He turned around and left. His heart suddenly hurt too much, so much that he didnt know what to do with it. He might as well eat his sorrow away.


    By the time Yan Su brought Yan Jin out, Mo Liuxi had already finished a bowl of zhajiangmian and a dozen xiaolongbao by himself.


    Yan Su stared at the empty bags. She was stunned.


    This did you just finish them?


    Yes. Mo Liuxi continued to eat his next dozen xiaolongbao. The two of you should sit down quickly. Dont worry, I bought six dozens.


    Yan Su:


    His appetite had be even more terrifying.


    Yan Jin tugged on Yan Sus sleeves. Yan Su bent down, and he said softly into her ear, Sister, he is such a glutton. Is he able to earn money? If he isnt, will he impoverish you from all the food that he eats in the future?


    Yan Sus mouth twitched.


    Yan Jin started worrying again. Also, its no wonder that Yan Yan eats so much. She takes after Xixi. However, if a girl eats too much, would she be obese in the future?


    What are the two of you whispering about? Mo Liuxi frowned. If you donte soon, Ill finish all the food.


    Coming,ing. Yan Jin anxiously ran over.

 Chapter 1379. There Are a Lot of Photos of Yan Yan

    Chapter 1379. There Are a Lot of Photos of Yan Yan


    Mo Liuxi bought a lot of breakfast foods, and they were all from authentic local cuisines.


    Yan Su always believed in his taste as a foodie. Although they had broken up a long time ago, he was still so particr about food.


    The scallion pancake exuded a thick fragrance, the xiaolongbao was juicy and meaty, and the wonton had fresh prawns in its filling.


    This is really delicious. Yan Jin enjoyed it so much that he almost bit his tongue. Xixi, the breakfast you bought is really delicious.


    Mo Liuxi forced himself to look up from the food that he was eating. Little guy, be more respectful. You should be calling me older brother, or I wont buy breakfast for you next time.


    Yan Jin saw how upset he was, then thought about how he didnt even know that he had be a father. His level of intelligence was rather worrying. Yan Jin subconsciously sighed and shook his head.


    Mo Liuxis expression darkened. What are you sighing for?


    Do you want to be a father? Yan Jin asked with a cheeky smile.


    The moment he said that both Yan Su and Mo Liuxi looked over at him. Only, the formers gaze was anxious, while thetter was stone cold.


    Mo Liuxi was annoyed. What was this little guy trying to imply? That if he wanted to be with Yan Su, he must be prepared to father a child that wasnt his?


    Just eat your food. Yan Su stuffed the scallion pancake into his mouth. When youre done, Ill send you back to your dad.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. Arent you returning to Hangzhou in the afternoon?


    Yes, but my dad asked me out for lunch this afternoon, Yan Su said. Ill have to head over there soon.


    Mo Liuxi grew silent. Well, he wasnt in a rush. After all, he would be going to Hangzhou to watch herpetition with Luosang and his family in a week.


    Xixi, let me add you on WeChat. Yan Jin fished out a phone from his bag. Lets keep in touch in the future.


    You are using a phone at this age? Yan Su sighed. She really didnt understand how her parents were raising him.


    I just use it to contact people. I absolutely do not use my phone to y games. Those who y games dont turn out well. Yan Jin opened his WeChat app. Lets add each other. I post updates quite frequently, so you can get to know a lot about me.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Who would want to know more about him? This egoistic, pesky child.


    However, he would be able to find out more about Yan Su. Mo Liuxi reluctantly entered Yan Jins number and found that the username was: The-worlds-most-handsome-jinjin.


    The corner of his mouth twitched.


    Lets keep in touch in the future. Yan Jin smiled in an especially sly manner.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Yan Su:


    She suddenly regretted telling Yan Jin about Mo Liuxist night.


    After breakfast, Yan Su went to wash her hair. Mo Liuxi apanied Yan Jin while he watched Peppa Pig on the television.


    Yan Jin would nce at Mo Liuxi every once in a while. Mo Liuxi originally intended to ignore it, but he grew increasingly irritated, especially since he felt that Yan Jin was looking at him as if looking at an idiot.


    What do you want to say?


    I think that you can take a look at my Wechat Moments. There are a lot of photos of Yan Yan, Yan Jin said.


    Yan Yan? Mo Liuxis brows knitted together so tightly that a fly could be squashed between them. Yan Sus daughter?


    Yes, she is very adorable. Yan Jin cocked his head. How irksome if my sister marries you in the future and Yan Yan has to change her name to Mo Yan.


    Mo Liuxi quirked his lips mockingly. You are overthinking this.


    Why would she take his surname when she wasnt his daughter?


    Yan Jin opened his mouth to speak, but Mo Liuxi nced over coldly. Dont talk to me. I want to have some peace and quiet.


    Yan Jin silently scolded him in his heart. Idiot.

 Chapter 1380. Yan Su Slept With Some Higher-Up

    Chapter 1380. Yan Su Slept With Some Higher-Up


    At 11:00 p.m., Mo Liuxi drove Yan Su and her brother to the entrance of the restaurant. Yan Jin got off first. Bye Xixi, Im very happy to have met you. The next time you visit Jiangxi, I will definitely show you around.


    How about you? Mo Liuxi ignored his invitation and looked directly towards Yan Su. Next week Ill be following my sister to Hangzhou to watch yourpetition.


    Yan Su had heard he was going to watch her from Luosang and was rather speechless. However, knowing that he would be there made her a little nervous. Well I wee you toe


    Is that all? Mo Liuxi raised his brows.


    What else do you want? I need to prepare for thepetition during this period, Yan Su replied seriously. Thepetition is getting fiercer as it progresses.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent for a while before he asked, How far do you personally want to go?


    In the past, I thought that Id be content if I made it through the first three rounds. However, the more thepetition progresses, the more I want to make it to the finals. At the very least, I want to give it my best shot and leave with no regrets. As Yan Su spoke, her eyes shone with a yearning for her dream.


    All right. Mo Liuxi understood and nodded.


    She probably wouldnt be thinking much about romantic rtionships during this time. He shouldnt distract her either.


    Yan Su had a meal then flew straight back to Hangzhou.


    The Saturday before thepetition, after two rounds of rehearsals with her team at the broadcasting station, Yan Su said to Ah Ji who was beside her, I still feel a little dissatisfied. It doesnt quite have the effect that I want. Something seems to be missing


    Susu. Jiaojiao walked over hurriedly. We are in trouble.


    Yan Su frowned. Jiaojiao passed her the phone. These are the photos that reporters took at the press release in Beijing a few days back. Some big V posted it today.


    The photo was of her having an indifferent expression when standing beside Ye Yunyang, and when the two of them walked past each other, they didnt even acknowledge each other, treating each other with cold civility.


    The big V said that ever since Yan Su became famous from being on Asias Top Singer, she had been disregarding Ye Yunyang, forgoing even the most basic courtesy and respect for a senior. Someizens even dug out photos of her smiling at Ye Yunyang when they worked together in the past and called her a snob.


    Another singer, Pei Wei, also posted an oddly worded deration on Weibo: I remember Ye Yunyang as a humble senior who took care of his juniors. When we auditioned together, I was eliminated. Only he and Yan Su were left. The production crew decided for them to coborate on the theme song, and for Yan Su to sing the interlude songs. Not only did Ye Yunyang not get upset, he even graciously congratted Yan Su and shook her hand. Who knew that people would change so drastically?


    Manyizens supported Pei Wei in thements section, saying that Yan Sus character was questionable.


    Some said that the production team didnt bring Ye Yunyang, but Yan Su, to the Venice Film Festival because she slept with some higher-up. Others said that Shi Xiang had arranged it for her.


    Jiaojiao was so angry that she was grinding her teeth. This Pei Wei has been sore about losing to you back then and is taking this opportunity to step on you by spouting lies. They want to bring you down right as you are bing famous. Tomorrow is thepetition. They are obviously making trouble for you on purpose.


    Seeing the horriblements online, Yan Su couldnt continue reading them anymore. This incident it was probably nned. During the press conference, I smiled at Ye Yunyang several times, but he ignored mepletely. After that, I stopped trying to pretend, which resulted in these kinds of photos being captured.


    He is definitely upset about the time that you went to Venice without him. After receiving the Golden Lion, you have been basking in the limelight since returning. He probably reached the limit of his generosity, Jiaojiao said. Who knows what nonsense he may spout in front of the media.

 Chapter 1381. Why Is An Lan My Lawyer？

    Chapter 1381. Why Is An Lan My Lawyer��


    Yan Su felt incredibly disappointed. She had quite a good impression of Ye Yunyang from the first time that they worked together. They even exchanged some opinions on music, and as her senior, he had taught her a lot. To think that things would change so much after half a year.


    The reporters will contact him. Well wait and see what he says.


    Then you wont exin anything now? Jiaojiao raised her brows. You will just allow yourself to be scolded like this?


    Just post one line: The innocent knows his innocence. Lets focus our efforts on preparing for thepetition, Yan Su said.


    Jiaojiao watched her expression worriedly. Are you able to calm down? Those unscrupulous reporters purposefully released news like this right now to distract you.


    If I get eliminated tomorrow, or if my ranking drops, others will take even more delight in my trouble, and will even say that its karma. Therefore, it is even more reason why I must not lose. Yan Sus gaze was determined. I must rank among the top three in tomorrowspetition. I cant hold back anything.


    When she finished, she turned around to continue discussing music with the team.


    Jiaojiao watched the silhouette of her back with mixed emotions. Xiang Wan once said that Yan Su was like a weed, despite her amiable and easy-going appearance, she was stronger than everyone else on the inside.


    However, all-female artists who wanted to stay in the entertainment industry needed courage like this.


    That night, Yan Su posted a photo of her side-profile while she was practicing with the captions: The innocent knows his innocence. All efforts on preparing for thepetition.


    With this response, someizens cheered her on, while others continued to attack her on the inte.


    The next afternoon, a reporter posted a snippet of an interview with Ye Yunyang from Beijings press conference.


    Reporter: Yan Su has be immensely popr recently. Since you have worked with her before, what is your impression of her?


    Ye Yunyang: She is quite talented as a singer.


    Reporter: Is that all? Do you want to work with her again? What do you think of her character?


    Ye Yunyang smiled but didnt reply.


    Reporter: I saw that the two of you didnt have any interaction just now.


    Ye Yunyang: Many things have happened in the past half a year.


    Reporter: Are you talking about how Yan Su suddenly became popr?


    Ye Yunyang smiled in silence.


    Since the interview was published, allegations against Yan Sus character grew.


    When Jiaojiao saw it, she grew so angry that she started scolding in the television stations holding room. What is that Ye Yunyang trying to imply? Being so vague in his responses? Is he insinuating that you have changed since bing famous and that he doesnt want to work with you again because he thinks that your character is questionable?


    That is where he is very clever. In the whole conversation, he never said anything bad about me, but pushes me closer to the fiery pits with every sentence. In the end, you cant even me him. Yan Su smiled bitterly. Ask Xiang Wan to find awyer for me. I want to sue those big Vs* that are besmirching my reputation. Remember to publish a deration from thewyer. If any reporters want an interview, wait until thepetition is over.


    That afternoon, Xiang Wan helped her publish an official deration on Weibo.


    The letter was stamped by Xia City Zhenhai Law Firm.


    It was signed and issued by An Lan.


    Yan Su was stunned for a moment after she saw it, then she called Xiang Wan saying, Why is An Lan, mywyer?


    Isnt that pretty good? Xiang Wan said. As you be more popr in the future, you will be in all sorts of situations that involvewsuits. You need a goodwyer, and Zhenhai Law Firm is the most reputable one in Xia City right now. An Lan is also thew firms best. She has be one of the most sought-afterwyers in the country these past two years since Xu Zhengxuans case. Since this is actually a small issue, I didnt expect that she would take on this case personally, and handle all of your cases in the future.


    I understand. I will personally thank her when I see her. Yan Su hung up the phone. She thought to herself that it might be because of An Ning that An Lan was willing to take on her case.


    *T/N: On Weibo, ounts with a huge following and have been verified have Vbels attached to their profiles.

 Chapter 1382. What if Her Mood Gets Affected and She Loses

    Chapter 1382. What if Her Mood Gets Affected and She Loses


    Xia City.


    Mo Liuxi was lying down in the library, taking an afternoon nap, when he heard some students talking.


    Who would have thought that Yan Su is that kind of person?


    That matter between her, Ye Yunyang, and Pei Wei may not be true either. The entertainment industry has so many lies and falsehoods, and Ive heard from many older students that Yan Su is quite an upright person. Although she became famous in thest school term, she still came to school often, and attended school activities frequently.


    The news never talked about how she used to be, only that she changed after bing famous. People all change, and if you think about it, she is still so young. Why would the production crew bring her, of all people, to the Venice Film Festival when Ye Yunyang was a lot more qualified than her at that time? There may be something between her and Shi Xiang. Look, since everything blew up, Shi Xiang has been the first to back her up.


    What youre saying makes sense.


    Mo Liuxi stood up and walked straight towards the two female voices that were talking.


    The girl dressed in white hadnt had time to react before he walked up to her. Dumbfounded, the girl looked at the breathtakingly handsome face hovering above her.


    What were you talking about just now? What happened to Yan Su? Mo Liuxi questioned her coldly.


    You you can go online and look at the headlines right now, the girl stammered. Long story short, Yan Sus reputation has copsed. Theizens are asking for her to withdraw from Asias Top Singer. Yan Sus side even issued a letter of demand.


    Mo Liuxis dark eyes wavered with emotion. He had only just returned from Beijing a few days ago, and something this big had already happened.


    He immediately unlocked his phone to take a look. It didnt take long for him to understand the gist of it. After spending so much time in the industry, it took only bits of information to get the picture of what happened.


    To think that Ye Yunyang was this shameless. Although there was something a little off between him and Yan Su back in Beijing, they were still on the same production. Even if he was jealous, it was over, and a senior in the industry probably wouldnt stoop so low to attack a young girl.


    However, it seemed that despicable people were never in short supply in the entertainment industry.


    What infuriated him even more was that an hour ago, Shi Xiang posted on Weibo: Some people online have overestimated my ability. As if I could easily influence a big-shot director who has won the Golden Lion. I dont want to say anything more right now. When our new movie starts showing, you all will see Yan Sus talent and understand why Director Li picked her. Oh, right. I also worked hard back then to earn a chance to participate in Director Lis new work.


    Even worse, Yan Su had liked Shi Xiangs post.


    That despicable Shi Xiang.


    Mo Liuxi got incredibly mad and called Li Ming immediately. Yan Su is in big trouble. As the director, why havent you made a sound yet?


    What happened to Yan Su? Im still vacationing in America now.


    Stop vacationing and ask the production team to post something quickly. Mo Liuxi hung up, then called Ji Nuanyi.


    Arent you close to Yan Su? Why havent you posted anything to back her up?


    Ji Nuanyi made a sound of disbelief. I thought you and her dont see eye to eye. Why are you in such a hurry to make me say something now? Why dont you post something yourself?


    You guys have more fans and get more attention. Your words are more effective, Mo Liuxi replied stoically. Hurry up.


    Why are you in such a hurry? Shi Xiang just posted something, so Ill wait until tonight, Ji Nuanyi said with a smile.


    That wont do. Yan Su has apetition tonight. What if this gets to her and she loses? Post something now.


    Oh wow! Youre already so anxious for her, Ji Nuanyi teased him. All right, Ill post something myself. Will that do?

 Chapter 1383. Yan Su Is My Woman

    Chapter 1383. Yan Su Is My Woman


    Mo Liuxi dug out the phone numbers of all his friends in the entertainment industry and called each one of them. Then, he skipped school, went back home, took out hisptop and registered over ten ounts which he used to write long posts to scold Ye Yunyang thoroughly.


    Sure, he could have hired someone to do this for him, but it was much more satisfying to do it himself.


    At 3:00 p.m., Luosang gave him a call. Liuxi, quickly back up Susu online. Theizens these days are really going overboard. Theyre vicious when scolding other people. That Ye Yunyang as well. He is shameless.


    Its none of my business, so I wont post anything, Mo Liuxi said carelessly as he continued to type.


    Hey, how can you be like this? The two of you are on the same production team for goodness sake. Nuanyi, Shi Xiang and Cheng Sheng have all backed her up. Even Director Li, and some random foreign celebrities have posted something. It isnt right if you dont say anything, Luosang said angrily.


    All right, seeing how youre pressuring me, Ill reluctantly make a post. Mo Liuxis lips curved upwards as he said this. He then logged onto his own ount and posted: I heard that Yan Su has started bullying people since she became famous. Lol, thats quite the joke. I bullied her every day when we were in Venice, and she didnt dare to evenin once.


    These words were way too arrogant. Luosang called again to scold him the moment she saw the post. I told you to post something for her, and you posted something like this. You might as well not have.


    Why are you so troublesome? I still have work to do. Im hanging up.


    When she heard the disconnect tone on the phone, Luosang finally started to understand why Mo Jin was so dismissive of her sons emotions.


    At 10:00 p.m., Yan Su came out from thepetition. Jiaojiao walked over with an odd expression and a phone in hand. Xiang Wan is looking for you.


    Yan Su had guessed that the call was about the matter with Ye Yunyang, but she had just picked up the phone when Xiang Wans excited voice shouted over the line, Yan Su, just who do you have backing you up, that the famous British actor Pearce actually posted something for you on Facebook, and Hollywood producer Parfitt as well. They are all world-famous actors. Not just them, Ji Nuanyi, Li Ming and Cheng Sheng as well. Just how much have you hidden from me?


    Confused, Yan Su rubbed her ears, thinking that she had heard wrong. Xiang Wan, are you still dreaming?


    I feel as if Im still dreaming too. Xiang Wan said faintly, There is no one better connected than you in our entire industry. All theizens are taking your side now and are attacking Ye Yunyang instead. There is this fan with username Yan-Su-is-my-woman who went crazy and scolded Ye Yunyang and every single person who attacked you online. He went off so much that Ye Yunyang even blocked him because he got too famous, bing one of the top searches.


    Yan Su:


    Was there someone that amazing among her fans?


    Xiang Wan, I really have no idea about any of these people. I have been busy preparing for thepetition and I am in no mood to pay these any attention, Yan Su replied seriously.


    What a strange series of events, Xiang Wan muttered. But at least we have gotten over this issue. While the tides are in your favor, dont forget to besmirch Ye Yunyang a little as well.


    On her way back to her hotel, Yan Su browsed the. The top searches right now were, Mo Liuxi made a post, Ji Nuanyi backed Yan Su, Parfitt actually knows Yan Su, Just how well-connected is Yan Su, Yan-Su-is-my-woman is so scary.


    Yan Su waspletely bewildered. She didnt know whether to be amused or angry at Mo Liuxis strangely worded post. As for that Yan-Su-is-my-woman, this persons firepower was just incredible. He even dered that he would scold anyone who tried to nder Yan Su in the future.

 Chapter 1384. Why? Do You Want It to Be Me?

    Chapter 1384. Why? Do You Want It to Be Me?


    Jiaojiao, do you know if this person is a fan? Yan Su asked.


    Jiaojiao shook her head and said, Ive already asked your managers. None of them has heard of this person. He just showed up and swept away the millions of enemy troops.


    Yan Su didnt know how to respond.


    After a short silence, Jiaojiao lowered her voice and continued with, Do you think its Mr. Mo? Hes worked in a few countries and has a lot of international friends. Maybe the ount named Yan Su is My Girlfriend belongs to him.


    Yan Sus heart leaped. That thought had urred to her, too. Apart from Mo Liuxi, she didnt know who else it could be. Ill ask him about itter when I get back to my room.


    When she arrived at the hotel, Yan Su called Mo Liuxi before even changing her clothes.


    Can I help you? Mo Liuxis deep, proud voice was heard on the other end.


    Hmm I just want to ask you if it was you who arranged Pirus and the other famous foreign artists to support me. Yan Su mumbled, I dont even know them.


    Im d youre aware of that. Mo Liuxi sounded unconcerned. Who else but I would do that for you? Shi Xiang? Except for posting some harsh words on Weibo, what else has he ever done to help you?


    Only Mo Liuxi was silly enough to help me without regret. I should be figuring out whos the man that deserves to be cherished by me now


    Besides, Im the only person in the world whos allowed to bully you. Ye Yunyang is nothing. He sounded scornful and angry.


    Why didnt you say anything? The sudden silence made Mo Liuxi feel a little awkward.


    Thank you. Yan Sus voice was low and soft.


    She walked to the window and looked outside, feeling so warm and fulfilled.


    Yesterday, she was under enormous pressure and felt so helpless. Today she was on top of the world.


    Is that all? Mo Liuxi crossed his legs and said with discontent, Arent you gonna say anything else?


    Wait until after the contest. I have something to tell you when Im not busy, Yan Su said.


    Whats it about? Cant you tell me now? Mo Liuxi asked without thinking.


    I dont want to get distracted. I need to focus on the contest, said Yan Su softly.


    If she told him about the baby now, he woulde straight from Xia City and do all kinds of things to distract her from the contest.


    Okay, Mo Liuxi agreed. He had no idea what she wanted to tell him.


    Oh, and another thing. Is the ount named Yan Su is My Girlfriend yours? Yan Su stuttered. Her face reddened slightly.


    Do you want it to be mine? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, Do you want to be my girlfriend?


    Cut the crap. Is it you or not? Yan Su cleared her throat.


    Of course not. Do I need to do something like that? Dont I have anything better to do? How ridiculous is that ount name? Id never use something stupid like that, Mo Liuxi said cooly with his eyes fixed on the ount name on hisputer. Why do you ask? Do you want it to be me?


    His voice contained a slight trace of anticipation and excitement that he didnt even notice.


    No, Yan Su said awkwardly. I was just asking. Id thank him properly if I knew who he is. Hes amazing. In fact Being his girlfriend for real isnt impossible.

 Chapter 1385. Go for It, Girl. Youre the Best

    Chapter 1385. Go for It, Girl. You''re the Best


    Mo Liuxi froze. At that moment, he regretted his little fib.


    Why on earth did he deny the fact just now? Maybe he was too ashamed to admit that he owned that ount.


    If she knew it belonged to him, shed realize that he wanted to be her boyfriend, wouldnt she?


    That would beso embarrassing! After all, she once cheated on him.


    But what did her words mean? If the ount belonged to some random guy, would she still want to be his girlfriend?


    Dont you dare. That thought made his heart sink and his voice rise.


    Hearing this voice, Yan Su curled her lip corners in a small smile and said, Why dont I dare? He helped me, and Im touched.


    I helped you too, said Mo Liux. Would Cheng Sheng and Li Ming have put in a good word for you if I hadnt asked them to?


    Yeah, you guys have all helped me, but Im only one person. What can I do? I cant be with both you and that mysterious guy, can I? Yan Suughed and made a joke.


    Yan Su, Ill teach you a good lesson when I get to Hangzhou. Just you wait, Mo Liuxi said unhappily. Also, will you make it to the next round? You wont be eliminated this time, will you?


    Shut up. That wont happen. I I did well today. Youll know tomorrow when the show airs. Im going to take a shower now. Bye. Yan Su ended the call.


    Mo Liuxi spent a few minutes staring at the call duration shown on his phone, then continued searching online for the people who said terrible things about Yan Su. He nned on attacking those people so hard.


    Midnight. Yan Su posted on WeiboI havent responded to what happened recently, because I felt that wouldnt be necessary. Perhaps, as Mr. Ye had said, a lot of things happened in the past half a year, and we have all drifted apart a little. The great time that we had together is part of history now. All I want is to stay true to my original self. I want to thank all my friends who have been supportive during this time.


    Within a few minutes, over ten-thousandments were left under that post.


    Passionate Little TadpoleI want to hug you, Susu. We all know whos right and whos wrong. Some people arent young anymore, but they just dont want peace.


    Love Susu the MostSusu, we believe in you. Youre the best. We can all see whos been having a moral quality problem here.


    Yan Su is My GirlfriendGo for it, girl. Youre the best.


    Yan Su clicked into Yan Su is My Girlfriends page, found the location of the ount ownerXia City.


    The ount was registered today.


    She couldnt think of a second person in Xia City who would do that.


    Was he aware that she was able to see his location?


    Yan Su sighed, wanting tough a little.


    Thursday, Xia City Airport.


    Mo Liuxi spent ten minutes waiting before seeing Nian Junting and Luosang walking over hand in hand. Nian Junting was carrying a suitcase and wearing a pair of Uggs. Luosang was wrapped in ginger down coat.


    Mo Jin followed behind them. At her side was Xu Zhengxuan, looking like an assistant, carrying argedys bag and a suitcase.


    Seeing the group of people, Mo Liuxi furrowed his eyebrows and said, We agreed to meet here at two. Im the only one who got here on time. What if we missed the ne?


    If we missed the ne, well switch to the next one. Therere plenty of flights to Hangzhou. Why are you so impatient? Nian Junting asked him, totally unruffled.


    Ive always been punctual and efficient, Mo Liuxi said.


    Why are you guys alone? Wheres Aunty Murong and her daughter? Mo Liuxi asked.

 Chapter 1386. Nian Xi Was Sitting on Top of the Suitcase, Very Happily

    Chapter 1386. Nian Xi Was Sitting on Top of the Suitcase, Very Happily


    Yeah, well, where are they? I just called them, and they said they were on the way. Nian Junting took out his phone with a frown. As he was looking for Murong Chengs number, Luosang patted him gently on the shoulder and said, No need to call them again. Theyre here.


    Nian Junting turned around and pulled a long face.


    Murong Cheng was holding a handbag and wearing a fur coat, looking quite fashionable. Near her, was Jiang Yuning, wearing a grey coat, pushing a suitcase. Nian Xi was sitting on top of it very happily.


    How sweet, Luosang sighed.


    Nian Junting unhappily nced at her, then walked up to his mother and sister, stared at Jiang Yuning coldly, and said to Nian Xi, You didnt tell me hesing with us. Im sorry, I didnt buy his ticket.


    No worries, I already took care of that, Nian Xi said with a grin. Earlier, he said he couldnte because he had to finish a project. Now the project has been finished, so hes here. Weve havent traveled together yet.


    Nian Junting turned down his mouth corners and said, This is a family vacation. Do you understand?


    Brother, Jiang Yuning called him. His gorgeous face wore an innocent look.


    Nian Juntings mouth was set in a straight line.


    Hes calling you brother. Were family. Luosang walked over and held her husbands arm.


    Nian Junting turned to her, looking confused. Oh, really? As a man who was running a publicpany, he felt that his brain wasnt working well enough at that moment.


    Sister Jiang Yuning scratched his head with a shy smile.


    Luosang looked at him sympathetically and felt as if her heart was melting.


    Nian Junting dragged Luosang to the side and said, What are you two doing? Were going to Hangzhou for a few days. Why did you bring so much luggage?


    Moms stuffs in there too, said Nian Xi ndly. Besides, I can sit on thisrge suitcase. Havent many famous couples been doing that in airports?


    Before, she was so jealous of those couples. She had a boyfriend at that time but never had a chance to travel together with him. Every time she went on a trip with her friends, she had to carry her luggage. Now, she finally had someone to travel with. She intended to let him carry the luggage.


    Nian Junting gave her a look. Were taking a trip, not to show off your happy rtionship, he said.


    Like youre not showing off your happy marriage? Nian Xi looked at the Uggs he was wearing and said sourly, My sister-inw bought you so many pairs of Uggs before you guys got married. Now you finally have a chance to wear them again. Were still in Xia City. Arent they hot? Youre the only CEO I know whod wear Uggs in public.


    ring at her, Nian Junting said, This is the kindness from your sister-inw. Theyve been lying in my closet for so long. This time, were finally going somewhere cold. Of course Ill wear them.


    Shouldnt we be boarding the ne by now Wheres Liuxi? Luosang reminded the others.


    He went to check the luggage while you guys were arguing, Xu Zhengxuan said.


    Why is that boy so impatient? Mo Jin sighed with a small smile.


    On the ne, Jiang Yuning sat far away from the others, because his tickets were bought at thest minute.


    Right after the ne took off, Luosang got upset. What should I do. I miss Apple. Were both away from him now. I wonder if hell cry at night. We should have brought him with us.


    Hell be fine, Nian Junting held her hand and said. A boy needs to learn to be independent. He cant always rely on his parents. One day, hell know that we did this for his good.


    Really? Luosang gave him a sidelong nce of disbelief.

 Chapter 1387. Ill Never Agree to Let You Two Share a Room

    Chapter 1387. I''ll Never Agree to Let You Two Share a Room


    Nian Junting nodded earnestly, then whispered in Luosangs ear, Were gonna be alone tonight. Lets do something.


    Luosang looked into his shining eyes.


    After arriving at Hangzhou, they took a ride to a hotel near West Lake. Nian Junting booked five rooms, one for Luosang and himself, one for Mo Jin and Xu Zhengxuan, one for Nian Xi, one for Murong Cheng, and one for Mo Liuxi.


    One more room was needed because Jiang Yuning had joined the group.


    However, when they went to check in, the hotel staff told them there werent enough rooms avable. They were one short.


    This area is a popr scenery spot. All the rooms were booked this morning.


    Nian Junting knitted his brows.


    Nian Xi said, Since there are no other rooms, Jiang Yuning will


    Ill never agree to let you two share a room. Nian Junting interrupted him with a somber tone. Dont you even think about sleeping together with him before you two get married.


    Hearing his voice, Jiang Yuning trembled a little. Feeling guilty, he felt his beautiful face turned red. He wondered if Nian Junting would want to kill him if he knew that he and Nian Xi had slept together long ago and had even got familiar with each others body.


    Why is your face so red? Mo Liuxi said.


    I I Jiang Yuning stuttered.


    My brother mentioned sleeping together for no reason. Hes so shy. How can he not blush? Nian Xi worried that Jiang Yuning might copse under pressure and tell Nian Junting the truth, so she hurriedly said, Brother, can you please let me finish? Im not gonna share a room with him. I was going to say that maybe I can sleep with Mom and let him have my room.


    No, Murong Cheng refused straightforwardly. Thats a single room. Youre an awful sleeper. We end up fighting over the space every time we share a bed.


    Mom, Luosang said jokingly. How could you say that in front of Mr. Jiang? You might scare him off.


    He doesnt have the guts to run, Nian Xi snorted. Weve gotten used to sharing a bed, and hes used to letting me take up all the spaceshe thought to herself. Of course, she didnt dare say this.


    Jiang Yuning scratched his head shyly.


    Hell share a room with Mo Liuxi, then. Nian Junting gave his order, then picked up his luggage and went upstairs.


    I dont agree, Mo Liuxi immediately objected. His n for Hangzhou was not to share a room with a guy. You want him and me to sleep in the same bed? Seriously? Hes with your sister already. Theyll be sleeping in the same bed sooner orter. I think we should just let them be together. I believe theyll both be happy to do that.


    I wont allow it, said Nian Junting putting on a poker face and looking like a brutal king. Put yourself in my ce and think about it. Before I married your sister, why did you keep such a close eye on her?


    How dare you even mention that? Mo Liuxi snorted coldly. How did you treat my sister back then? You got her into your bedroom before you married her. I think you really should let your sister and her boyfriend sleep together, so youll feel what Ive felt.


    You Nian Junting red at him. Atst, he dragged Mo Liuxi to the side said, If you dont do what I said, I might ruin things between you and Yan Su tonight. Believe it or not.


    Mo Liuxi stared at him contemptuously and angrily.


    Yan Su is My Girlfriend? How ridiculous is that ount name! Nian Junting sneered. I wonder how Yan Su would feel if she knew.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent.


    If he could kill people with eyes, Nian Junting would have died a thousand times already.


    How did you know? Mo Liuxi said through clenched teeth.


    I have so many people working for me. Any IT worker could figure it out, Nian Junting gave him a nd nce and said, Youve been working hard. You spent thirty-six hours attacking those people online without sleeping or resting.

 Chapter 1388. Im Not Gonna Share the Quilt with You

    Chapter 1388. I''m Not Gonna Share the Quilt with You


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent.


    Nian Junting added, Also, did you know that your Weibo ount can show people in your location? Your ount clearly shows that its user is basing in Xia City.


    Mo Liuxi still didnt say anything.


    Really? He didnt know about that. He mainly used Facebook before.


    The look on his gorgeous face grew even more sullen than before, and he couldnt control it.


    Its fine, though. Yan Su went to college in Xia City. She had a lot of suitors back then, so she might not suspect you, Nian Junting kindly tried tofort him.


    Mo Liuxi honestly did not want to say anything to him.


    So tonight, can you share a room with Jiang Yuning? Nian Junting asked.


    Sharing a room with Professor Jiang isnt a bad thing, Mo Liuxi responded with a cold face. Were both men, no big deal.


    As he suddenly changed his attitude, people all looked at him in surprise. None of them asked any questions, though. After all, as long as he agreed to share a room with Jiang Yuning, the problem could be considered solved.


    While waiting for the elevator, Luosang sneakily dragged Nian Junting closer to her and asked him, What did you say to Liuxi to make him agree?


    Its a secret between us guys, Nian Junting said with a mysterious smile.


    Luosang snorted. She was d to see the rtionship between her husband and brother growing closer and closer, though.


    After going upstairs, people went to their rooms.


    Mo Liuxi and Jiang Yuning had to share a room. Mo Liuxi threw himself onto the bed once he got into the room. After spending a while lying there, the weird silence in the room made him raise his head to find that Jiang Yuning was scowling at him.


    Mo Liuxi thought Jiang Yuning was upset because he had taken up too much room on the bed, so he hurriedly moved slightly to the side and said, You can lie down here.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head and said softly, You just got off the ne. A lot of people sat in your seat on that ne. You are now carrying countless germs, but youy on the bed with your clothes on. Its unhygienic


    Groan. Mo Liuxi didnt know what to say. Why me?! Why me?!


    After he finished talking, Jiang Yuning opened his suitcase, took out a sheet and a quilt, and started making the bed for himself. After spreading the sheet, he folded the quilt neatly and put it on the side, and then said, This is my quilt. Im not gonna share it with you.


    Mo Liuxi kept quiet.


    And what makes him think Id want to share his quilt with him, huh!?


    The more he thought about his current situation, the unhappier he became. So, he texted Yan SuWere already in Hang Zhou. Do you know with whom Im sharing a room? Nian Xis boyfriend. This is some. They made me share a room with a guy.


    Five minutester, Yan Su replied to himI was practicing singing just now and didnt see the message. Isnt that nice? You always told people youre gay.


    Mo Liuxi was amused. Could they still chat happily?


    A minuteter, Yan Su sent him another messageI heard Nian Xis boyfriend is a scientist. He should be very knowledgeable. I think you guys can have a nice talk.


    Mo Liuxi repliedWhats to talk about? Hes a thirty-year-old nerd.


    Yan SuYou two can talk about science. That theme seems popr now. As a director and a screenwriter, you should learn about all sorts of people, even nerds.


    Mo Liuxi found her words made sense, so he turned and said to Jiang Yuning, Professor Jiang, what project have you been working on recently?


    Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, then said, High-energy particles. Among all high-energy particles, only electron e and proton p can reach high energy by elerator eleration method. The other high-energy particles, such as charged  meson


    Oh, right. Mo Liuxi buried his head in his arms and said, I dont know what youre talking about. Forget it. I think I need to rest.


    Blinking his eyes, Jiang Yuning stopped talking. He fixed his eyes on the door, waiting for Nian Xi.


    Mo Liuxi hid under the quilt and texted Yan Su againI tried talking to him. I didnt understand one word he said. Will youe over for dinner?

 Chapter 1389. Sangsang, I Missed You Too

    Chapter 1389. Sangsang, I Missed You Too


    Yan Su didnt reply to him. She was probably rehearsing for tomorrow. After all, there would be another round of contestants and she had to be at her best.


    If Jiang Yuning werent in the room, he would give her a call right now.


    Ten minutester, Nian Xi came over. Jiang Yuning immediately stood up to wee her.


    Xi, I missed you, he said.


    Mo Liuxi twitched his lips. They were only separated for twenty minutes. How could he possibly be missing her already?


    How are you doing here? Nian Xi held his hand, and said, Do you need anything? Let me know.


    I need you, said Jiang Yuning affectionately.


    Nian Xi smiled a big, happy smile.


    Mo Liuxi stayed silent, shuddering slightly. This was too much.


    Liuxi, please take care of Yuning at night. Thank you very much. Nian Xi talked to Mo Liuxi with a grin, Hes a bit shy, and he doesnt like talking much. He knows little about how to get along with others, but hes a nice person.


    Emm. Mo Liuxi responded to her in a low voice, then went back to his phone.


    Nian Xi turned to Jiang Yuning and said, Liuxi looks cold and proud, but hes warm on the inside. Hes a very good person.


    Oh, but it has nothing to do with me. Jiang Yuning blinked his eyes and said, You should tell that to his girlfriend.


    Nian Xi wasnt sure what to say about that.


    Mo Liuxi didnt want to say anything. He only wanted the two people in his room to disappear soon.


    Lets go to my room and let Liuxi have some time alone. Nian Xi found Mo Liuxi so annoying, so she quickly whisked Jiang Yuning away.


    Mo Liuxi sighed with relief. Thank goodness! Suddenly, the world was so quiet.


    But how unfair the world was. Dull and rigid people like Nian Junting and Jiang Yuning had girlfriends, while he was still single. Go figure.


    Four oclock in the afternoon. People in the family group chat agreed to meet in the hotel lobby. They nned to visit the Broken Bridge together. Even though it was cold out, people came from all over the country to see the snowing Broken Bridge.


    After meeting with the others, Mo Liuxi asked, Where are we going for dinner? He made it sound like a casual question.


    A restaurant nearby. Yan Su said the food there isnt bad, and the ce is nice. They have a courtyard, Luosang said.


    Mo Liuxi grew excited the moment he heard Yan Sus name. Shes not from Hangzhou. Is she sure the food is good?


    She asked someone from the TV station for a rmendation. Shes pretty sure. Luosang red at him and said, Dont always be mean to her. Youre a man. Be generous.


    Im not mean to her. Mo Liuxi looked at the snow-coveredndscape and said, But I wasnt expecting to have her at the dinner. She still needs to prepare herself for the contest tomorrow night.


    Yeah. I havent seen her in a big half a year. Shes so busy, but still, she decided toe to see me. Shes my best friend, said Luosang happily.


    Once her voice faded, she heard two men snorting withughter.


    What does that look on your faces mean? She was a little displeased.


    The snowy Broken Bridge is so beautiful, Nian Junting sighed. There was a poem, The West Lake looks like the fairdy at her best; Whether she is richly adorned or dressed.''


    Luosang just ignored them. Argh! Boys will be boys!


    After spending some time appreciating the beautiful snow, the group of people went to the restaurant. Yan Su was already there. She was wearing a thick down coat and a bright red scarf and was standing in the courtyard. Her brows were slim and dark. Her lips were thin and perfectly shaped. In the dim light of dusk, she looked stunningly beautiful.


    Su, long time no see. Luosang rushed up to her and gave her a huge hug. I missed you.


    Sangsang, I missed you too. Yan Su hugged her back, Howve you been?


    Good. You?


    Ive been good too, Yan Su nodded. Couldnt be better.

 Chapter 1390. Professor Jiang Is Really Handsome and Elegant... Ouch…

    Chapter 1390. Professor Jiang Is Really Handsome and Elegant... Ouch��


    Mo Liuxi furrowed his brows and said snippily, Your conversation is sooo boring. Cant you girls talk about something more interesting?


    Luosang shot him a dirty look. How is our conversation boring? Feel free to say something interesting if you can.


    On hearing that, Mo Liuxi fixed his eyes on Yan Su. Under his gaze, she felt uneasy and worried he might say something inappropriate to embarrass her. Much to her relief, he moved his thin lips slightly and said, The red scarf doesnt suit you. It doesnt look good on you.


    She decided to y it cool by ignoring his remark.


    Pulling a face, Luosang swung her bag of sugar-coated hawthorn berries at his head. Aargh! He was incorrigible!


    But Mo Liuxi ducked his head just in time.


    Observing this little spat, Mo Jin felt a sharp pang of worry in her heart. Will I ever be mother-inw? Sigh. My son seems incapable of holding a normal conversation with the girl. After a momentary pause, she walked up to Yan Su with a warm smile and said, Su, we havent seen each other for a while. You dont have a boyfriend yet, do you? Is there someone in your life?


    No Yan Su felt a bit awkward and wondered why Mo Jin was being extra friendly to her. Aunty Mo, you guys, pleasee in. Its so cold outside.


    What a nice girl, Mo Jin nodded. She couldnt stop showering her with praise.


    The group walked into the private room. Yan Su picked up the menu and said, Everyone, please order whatever youd like to try. Dinner is on me.


    No. Its on me, Nian Junting said ndly. These are all my family members. Theres no reason for you to pay.


    I agree, Mo Jin hurriedly nodded. You worked hard for your money. Let them pick up the tab. They can all afford it.


    Id like to pay, Mo Liuxi said.


    Everyone looked at him with a shocked expression. Luosang didnt know how stingy he had typically been to other people, but she was still surprised. Why, how nice of you. May I ask why you suddenly want to treat us to dinner tonight?


    This is our first family vacation, Mo Liuxi said. I think its imperative. I made some extra money earlier this year, so, well, why not?


    His generosity deeply touched Luosang. Xu Zhengxuan almost cried. It was the first time he heard such warm words flow from his sons cold mouth. Jin, our son, has grown up, he said to Mo Jin.


    Mo Jin gave a cold smile after sizing up the situation My son is lyingHes only doing this because of the girl.


    All right. As your mother, Im happy to hear that. People, please order whatever you want. Dont worry about saving pennies. Just order the most expensive things on the menu. cordyceps flower meatball, ginseng soup, Haliotis, and beef stew


    Mo Liuxi twitched his mouth corners. Hmph. She was not thinking about saving me money at all.


    When the delicious dishes were served, Nian Xi introduced Jiang Yuning to Yan Su, This is my boyfriend, Jiang Yuning.


    Yan Su smiled at Jiang Yuning and said, Professor Jiang is handsome and elegant Ouch


    Someone stomped on her foot hard before she had a chance to finish her sentence.


    She turned her head to look at Mo Liuxi. It was him. He did it.


    Why are you looking at me that way? Whats wrong? Mo Liuxi put on an innocent face.


    Yan Su didnt have the heart to ask him why he did that in front of so many people, so she pulled her foot out from under his and stomped him back twice as hard. She regretted not wearing heels today.


    Mo Liuxi stayed expressionless, focused on eating.


    Tilting her head to the side, Yan Su said, Nian Xi, Professor Jiang, have you two set a date yet for your wedding?


    Jiang Yuning dropped his chopsticks and gave Nian Xi a shy nce. Anytime, he said.


    Nian Xi coughed slightly. How was she supposed to respond to that?


    I think you might get married before I do. You see, you caught the bridal bouquet at Sangsangs wedding.


    You cant believe in something like that, said Yan Su ndly.


    Maybe you can, Nian Xi raised her eyebrows. I almost got it that day, but in the end, it just fell into your arms. I think God arranged that.

 Chapter 1391. Whats Going on in That Pure-looking Scientists Head?

    Chapter 1391. What''s Going on in That Pure-looking Scientist''s Head?


    Liuxi knitted his brows and fell into deep thought.


    Nian Xi and her boyfriend seemed to be in a perfect rtionship. It looked as if they would marry by next year. If Yan Su got married before they did


    Would Yan Su get married this year?


    Who would she marry?


    Would she marry him?


    Would she marry someone else, like Shi Xiang?


    Thinking about that possibility, Mo Liuxi instantly became sullen.


    Yan Su didnt detect that look on his face. Mo Jin had been exceptionally nice to her during the dinner. She kept telling the girl to eat more. Come on. Youve been working so hard recently that you even lost some weight. Try this soup mmm. How about this? Oh, the beef is nice


    Thank you, Aunty Mo. You try some of this too. Yan Su was a little nervous because of Mo Jins attitude. She was always a good person but was never especially so nice to her.


    The most important thing is for you to have a good meal, Mo Jin said to her with a grin. The people on the scene who didnt know what was going on found Mo Jins behavior weird.


    Luosang put her mouth to Nian Juntings ear and whispered, My mom is acting as if she just found a long lost daughter.


    Nian Junting gave her a small smile. It seemed that Mo Jin had found out something, Unlike her, his wife had been growing sillier and sillier ever since she had the baby.


    After dinner, it started snowing. People found the view beautiful, so they decided to take a stroll by the side of the snowy West Lake to help with digestion.


    The snow-coveredke was breathtakingly beautiful at night. The weather was brisk. Everyone bundled up but still couldnt help holding each others arms to keep themselves warm.


    Murong Cheng waved at Yan Su and said to her, Come on, let us walk together.


    All right, Aunty Murong. Yan Su walked up to her and locked arms with her.


    Mo Liuxi was left walking in the snow alone, looking lonely and pitiful.


    Nian Junting sighed and said, Holding someone can keep you warm. And its romantic, too. What do you think, Liuxi? Do you agree with me?


    The others almost burst intougher.


    Mo Liuxi gave him a nce without expression, then silently made a snowball and threw it on Nian Juntings back.


    Nian Junting was irritated. He turned around and threw a snowball back at Mo Liuxi. The battle between the two of them affected quite a few of the others. Smiling, Luosang walked to Yan Su and said, Oh, have you found that those two are bing more and more alike?


    Yan Su nodded in agreement. Those two boys seemed to love and hate each other at the same time.


    It was nine oclock in the evening. Yan Su got on her nanny van and headed back to the hotel. She still needed to rehearse for tomorrow. On her way, she received a message from Mo Liuxi, Yan Su, dont you feel awful? Was that any way to treat a person who has helped you?


    Yan Su felt that he was trying to start a fight. She had barely talked to him during the dinner, so she replied to his message, even though she didnt want to.


    Its your problem. You were mean to me every time you saw me. Tomorrow, after the contest, dont leave. Wait outside for me. Tonight, Ill probably stay up until three or four in the morning to prepare for tomorrow.


    Mo Liuxi furrowed his brows. He understood that she was currently swamped. It was not easy for her to make time to have dinner and take a stroll together with him and his family.


    At night, Mo Liuxi and Jiang Yuning slept in the same bed. At first, Jiang Yuning stayed on his side quietly, but soon enough, he slowly moved toward Mo Liuxi and even put a hand on his chest.


    Mo Liuxi wriggled on the bed. He felt extremely awkward.


    Jiang Yuning murmured, Xi, why is your chest so hard now?


    Mo Liuxi opened his eyes speechlessly.


    Damn, whats going on in this pure-looking scientists head? he said to himself.

 Chapter 1392. Come to My Place Tonight. You Dont Need to Go Back to Yours if You Dont Want to…

    Chapter 1392. Come to My ce Tonight. You Don''t Need to Go Back to Yours if You Don''t Want to��


    He pulled Jiang Yunings hand away from himself, then moved to the other side of the bed to avoid him.


    Jiang Yuning moved closer to him,ining, Xi, why dont you lean on me tonight?


    Mo Liuxi had goosebumps.


    Judging by the words that came out of Jiang Yunings mouth, he and Nian Xi had slept together long ago. They had even gotten used to sleeping with each other. It was absurd for Nian Junting to keep such a strict watch over them. If only he knew the truth!


    Mo Liuxi had reached the limit of his endurance. He took his phone out from the nightstand drawer, then turned on amp, took a picture and sent it to Yan Su along with a messageA guy is trying to flirt with me and touch me in the middle of the night. Im almost falling off the bed. I cant sleep.


    The next morning, Yan Su picked up her phone to find a few WeChat messages from Mo Liuxi.


    At midnight, he messagedI cant sleep.


    At three oclock in the morning, he sent her another messageI really, really cant sleep.


    At half-past four in the morning, he messagedHes been trying to make out with me the whole night. How am I supposed to get through the next few nights?


    At five oclock in the morning, he messagedI think Im bing gay.


    Yan Su found those messages mildly amusing but refrained from responding. It didnt seem right. After a long while, she bit her lip and messaged backCome to my ce tonight. You dont need to go back to yours if you dont want to


    In the hotel. Nine oclock in the morning. Mo Liuxi, who was brushing his teeth, spouted the water in his mouth when he read the message. Did Yan Su mean that he could go to her room tonight and sleep with her?


    He couldnt resist that temptation so early in the morning.


    He washed his face with cold water and came out of the bathroom. On his way out, he saw Jiang Yuning. He reached out a hand, rubbed thetters chest and said, Your chest is not soft at all.


    After saying that, he went out for breakfast with a big smile stered on his face. Jiang Yuning shuddered, then hurriedly took out some sanitizer to disinfect himself.


    Eight oclock in the evening. The shooting of the Asian King of Singing was about to start.


    Nian Junting and his family sat in the second row, which was about eight meters from the stage.


    Ten minutes before the contest started, the audience behind them began to have intense discussions.


    I heard someone would be eliminated today. I wonder whos gonna leave this time.


    I dont care. As long as its not Yan Su.


    Youre right. Shes the prettiest among all the contestants this season. If she leaves, the show wont be nearly as good.


    Hearing what those people said, Luosang felt so happy to be a friend of Yan Su.


    Ten minutester, the contestants each gave an opening show in session. Every singer was outstanding. Luosang and her family lost themselves in their beautiful music and voices.


    Unlike them, Mo Liuxi was getting antsy.


    When will Yan Sue on stage?


    I dont know. Luosang shook her head and said, They drew lots to determine the order. Were not here just to listen to Susu All these singers are great. The live performances are just amazing.


    Mo Liuxi folded his arms. He had nothing to say. Hed never been interested in music. If it werent for Yan Su, he wouldnt waste time sitting here feeling bored out of his mind.


    Half-past nine. Yan Su finally came on stage as the final contestant. She was wearing a vivid red leather suit. Her lips were red, and her slim, sexy waist was exposed. She looked like an elfing from a raging fire.


    The venue was overwhelmed by screams.


    Mo Liuxi was on fire too. His heart just went crazy whenever he saw her.


    Yan Su could be sexy asionally. Of course, he had seen her be both hot and shy. But today, wearing that suit and heels, she looked like a queen.


    She gave such a wild performance on stage. She threw her head back, twisted her waist; her long, slender legs dazzled him.

 Chapter 1393. Ill Eat My Hat if I Dont Kick His Ass

    Chapter 1393. I''ll Eat My Hat if I Don''t Kick His Ass


    Trouble started when a balding man sitting in front of Mo Liuxi dropped his phone. As the old dude bent over to pick it up, he sneaked a peek up Yan Sus skirt.


    This little maneuver wasnt lost on Mo Liuxi, whose jaw was already ticking in anger. With his hair-trigger temper, he kicked the back of the mans chair.


    The man, who was bending over and sitting on one corner of the seat, tumbled off andnded on all fours.


    Shh, shh, shh. The people sitting near him helped him up. They didnt want to attract any attention during the performance. But the bald man threw off the others, stood up, turned, and wagged his finger at Mo Liuxi angrily.


    Unbeknown to Mo Liuxi, not that he would have cared, the bald man was a famous music director. That boy just kicked his chair! How dare he!


    Meanwhile, Yan Su was dancing on the stage. She couldnt help noticing the ruckus in front of her. The bald man happened to be Cao Fenghai. Besides running his own musicpany, he was well known in the music business and was part of the shows creative team. Yan Su had talked to him a few times during the making of the show. He seemed a little lustful, so she had been keeping her distance. She had no idea what might have triggered this untimely dispute.


    Trying to stay on task, she raised her right hand and drew the eyes of her fans to the other side of the stage.


    Under the stage, Mo Liuxi raised his chin and looked at Cao Fenghai scornfully. If another singer were on stage and not Yan Su, he would have slugged the guy.


    Did you just kick me? Cao Fenghai asked usingly.


    His voice caught the attention of the people nearby. Even Luosang and Nian Junting heard him. Why was Mo Liuxi picking a fight with someone? And why now? There was no excuse for such rudeness.


    Shut up. People are trying to watch the show, Mo Liuxi barked.


    His impudence almost made Cao Fenghai rush at him. Thankfully, the people nearby stopped him and said, Theres a huge audience here. Dont make a scene. The show is being filmed. We wont be able to re-film it. Wait until the show is over if theres anything to be solved. This is thest song anyway.


    Can Fenghai popped his eyes and calmed himself down. But still, he gave Mo Liuxi the finger and then pointed it at the floor.


    Mo Liuxi was still fuming in anger.


    After Cao Fenghai sat back down, Nian Junting turned and asked Mo Liuxi, Whats going on? What did he do to you?


    Hes too ugly, and I wanted to beat him up, Mo Liuxi said expressionlessly. He didnt have the heart to tell the others about the nasty thing the guy did to Yan Su. It would be too humiliating for her.


    Looking at the arrogant young man, Nian Junting shook his head in disbelief. What the hell, man?!


    Recently, he found Mo Liuxi even more arrogant than himself as a young guy.


    The people sitting in the first row are either the staff of the TV station or important guests. I dont t think hes gonna let you get away with this so easily, Nian Junting reminded Mo Liuxi.


    Cracking his knuckles nervously, Mo Liuxi quipped, What a coincidence. I have some background in the entertainment circle, too. Later, if I dont kick his ass, Ill eat my hat.


    Nian Junting was too annoyed to spend any more time on this.


    Luosang pulled his arm and whispered, Whats up with Liuxi? What set him off?


    Stay away from him when the show ends. He might fight someone, Nian Junting said to her.


    Luoyangs breath wasing in gasps. Thest thing she needed was for her brother to make a scene on Yan Sus big night.


    She was there for one reason, to support Yan Su, not to fight anyone.


    Why did her little brother hate Yan Su so much? He even caused trouble during her performance. Luosang felt a migraineing on.


    As Yan Su finished singing, the audience burst into thunderous apuse.


    Yan Su took a bow and thanked the audience. Before leaving the stage, she nced at Luosang and her family, beaming with joy.


    Next, the host came on stage to ask people to vote. About ten minutester, the results were in. A contestant from Hong Kong was eliminated.

 Chapter 1394. Her Heart Rate Accelerated with Every Step that She took

    Chapter 1394. Her Heart Rate elerated with Every Step that She took


    The audience burst into wild apuse after Yan Sus performance,


    After taking a bow, she thanked the audience and looked over at Luosang with a beaming smile.


    The host asked the audience to start voting. After about ten minutes, the results were in: A singer from Hong Kong was eliminated.


    The group said their farewells backstage as they hugged it out before continuing with the eliminationpetition. Things were getting more heated with each passing week.


    When the show ended, the crowd was streaming out of the theatre. Cao Haifeng, who was sitting in the front row, rolled up his sleeves, You kicked me just now on purpose, didnt you, you little brat? Ive never seen anyone as cocky as you, acting as if the broadcasting station belongs to your family. Ill let things slide if you kneel and apologize to me. If not, Ill tear you down no matter who you are.


    Hah! You dont know who I am even though you work in the industry? Thats okay. Ill make you remember today. Mo Liuxi used his hands to jump to the front before grabbing the mans face and pushing him toward the stage.


    Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Cao Haifengs friends ran to his defense.


    Nian Junting stopped them just in time. There must be a reason why my brother is beating up the guy; hes not psychotic.


    Ah, Mr. Nian, the main director recognized him immediately and went to shake his hand. Ive heard about you for a while. This is this Director Mo, who just won the Golden Lion awards?


    Director Mo? He only won an award with Director Li when he took a trip to Venice with him, Nian Junting smiled slightly.


    The main director looked over at Cao Haifeng, who was crying for help, and he looked awkward. Look, Mr. Nian Mr. Cao is also quite renowned in the music industry.


    Dont worry, he wont go overboard, Nian Junting reassured him.


    Luosang was quiet as she watched the two of them. She wondered when they had established such a good rapport with one another.


    After about twenty minutes, the group walked out of the television station. Luosang turned to nag at Mo Liuxi, but he suddenly said, Im not going back with you guys. Im meeting my friend from Hangzhou tonight. Ill be spending the night there.


    Mo Jin narrowed her eyes, Since when do you have friends from Hangzhou?


    I have plenty of friends. You wouldnt know their names even if I told you. Ill make a move first. Mo Liuxi waved goodbye and walked away.


    Nian Junting smirked; he wasnt nning on going home? Was the kid nning to stay the night?


    Yan Su turned down the directors invitation to supper and took the nanny van back to the hotel right away.


    Jiaojiao started gossiping to her right away in the car, Did you know that Mo Liuxi beat up Cao Haifeng after the show ended just now? He has bruises all over his face. Luckily handphones are prohibited in the station. It would be a whole lot of trouble if any of the public caught wind of this.


    What trouble? He isnt afraid of anything or anyone. Yan Su sighed. Besides, he has a filmpany supporting him and a bunch of people who have his back.


    Thats true, Jiaojiao smiled. But its quite cathartic, isnt it? Cao Haifeng has always used all sorts of excuses to take advantage of you. Hes always putting his hands on you. Hes a disgusting pervert.


    Yan Su wondered if that was one of the reasons why Mo Liuxi beat him up.


    When she arrived at the hotel, he was waiting for her on the twenty-second floor. Jiaojiaos eyes lit up immediately, The two of you


    We have something to discuss. You can go back and rest first. Yan Su patted her on her shoulders.


    Jiaojiao covered her mouth with her hands as sheughed knowingly before leaving.


    Yan Su walked over to Mo Liuxi. Her heart rate elerated with every step that she took.

 Chapter 1395. You Want to Get back Together with Me?

    Chapter 1395. You Want to Get back Together with Me?


    Mo Liuxi was staring at her with sharp intent. He had an unbearably unsettling feeling and felt hot to the roots of his hair.


    He knew this feeling well. In the past, when she was working, he would wait for her outside the hoteljust like now. This happened back when romance was still sweet, or, depending on the day of the week, a temporary madness.


    After all this time, he realized he hadnt moved on at all. He couldnt. It was impossible.


    He hated Yan Su. But he loved her more than he hated her. He loved her so much that he couldnt stand anyone bullying or bothering her. Some might say he was obsessed with her. He wanted her undivided attention even if it meant the two of them quarreling and getting angry at each other.


    No matter what awaited them in the future, even if it was more pain, he was willing to take her back again.


    But things would be different; he would lock her down.


    Why arent you saying anything, and what are you thinking about? Yan Su walked to where he was standing, lost in thought. She was giving him that curious look.


    Open the door. Mo Liuxis eyes were dark and serious.


    Yan Su was surprised. She opened the door and in he walked.into the room and into her life. Mo Liuxi shut the door behind him, his voice low and hoarse, You said in the morning that I coulde and find you, and I didnt have to go back. What does that mean?


    Yan Su felt overheated. She knew he was going to bring that up. Her mind went nk as she blurted out, What I meant wasI can book a room for you next door


    I dont want that. Mo Liuxi took off his thick down jacket and scarf and tossed them on the sofa. His eyes were still as dark as before, like a lone wolf.


    Yan Su watched him move around like this, Then


    I want to sleep on your bed. Mo Liuxi kicked his boots off.


    Yan Su,


    Why, are you embarrassed? Its not like we havent slept together before. Mo Liuxi drew closer to her step by step and forced her to sit on the couch.


    His handsome face was pressing closer and closer to her as he looked at her from above. Yan Su gulped and started at his chest before saying, Calm down


    How can I calm down? Mo Liuxi replied in a low voice. Ive been surrounded by happy couples since yesterday. I was walking alone in the snowst night until my toes and fingers were frozen numb. Not you, though. You were walking alongside Aunty Murong. Did you ever wonder how I might have felt?


    But but if I held your hand, Aunty Murong would have been left alone, Yan Su stammered. Shes so old. She would have felt lonely or left out.


    Well, tokay.. you do make some sense. Mo Liuxi nodded his head after thinking about it. But can I interpret that to mean that you wouldnt have left me alone if Aunty Murong hadnt been there?


    He was so direct and suggestive. Yan Su didnt like that.


    The two of them were flirting with each other. That much was obvious. They had gone through many things a couple would have gone through. Maybe it was time to mend fences and establish some boundaries between themor figure out if they were still a couple.


    Yan Su, dont forget, weve already broken up, Mo Liuxi suddenly said. He was feelingplicated and confused. This time he was the one reminding her, Can I take that to mean that you want to get back together again?


    Yan Su looked at him. Mo Liuxi, you sound as if Im moring after you. Like all this is wishful thinking on my part. Dont forget, if you didnt


    If I didnt know what? Mo Liuxi drew even closer to her.


    Yan Su opened her mouth. She was going to tell him everything tonight. All right, lets go through the sequence of events one by one. Lets talk about Venice first. You extended your hand to help me with myctation problem. Is that something people would normally do after breaking up? You kissed me again under the bridge. You can call it idental, but you were the one who kissed me first. Afterward, in Beijing, you had a meal with my brother and me. I fed you food, and you fed me. We shared ice cream, we kissed I just want to know how you feel about this?

 Chapter 1397. Im going to shower too, shall we?

    Chapter 1397. I''m going to shower too, shall we?


    Yan Su,


    She regretted asking him to apany her for the Lunar New Year.


    Well I think you should go back to your parents ce over the New Year. She was sick of this fussy man.


    Mo Liuxi looked upset. So you keep on going back and forth like this. I dont think youre sincere at all.


    Im going to go take a shower. Yan Su rubbed her eyes tiredly. She was determined to get a good nights rest that day.


    Same here. Im going to take a shower too, shall we? Mo Liuxi started undressing.


    Yan Su was surprised. He was a lot more forward than before. Well you can go ahead first.


    Youre asking me to go first now that Ive already undressed? Mo Liuxi raised his brows.


    Yan Su was about to roll her eyes. Yes, Im asking you to go first precisely because youve already taken your shirt off. Youll finish faster. You should go first.


    True, but I dont feel right as a guest of yours. Mo Liuxi looked a little sly. Youre the host, after all. Anyway, I think it would be best if we went together.


    He immediately lifted her and put her on his shoulder. He had been too nice to Yan Su in the past. If he wasnt shameless enough, he would be giving some other man the chance to be shameless.


    Mo Liuxi, are you insane? Put me down! Yan Su was pping his back. He would never have done something like this in the past. She was furious. Was he treating her like cargo?


    Be good. Well be there soon. Mo Liuxi kicked the door to the bathroom open.


    I dont want to shower with you I havent grabbed my clothes yet I dont want Yan Su was struggling, and she grabbed the edge of the door desperately. Eventually, he still managed to pull her into the bathroom with him.


    When the door mmed shut, there were sounds of resistance from inside, but it gradually turned into a warm buzz of moans and groans.


    After about ten minutes, Mo Liuxi carried Yan Su out of the washroom. Her whole body was red like a cooked lobster.


    A towel covered her private parts, and the rest of her skin was speckled with love bites resembling flower petals. Her pretty face looked radiant and seductive.


    Mo Liuxi ced her on the bed. He was obviously in high spirits after the whole ordeal. Lie here, Ill go get you your little panties.


    Yan Su was about to break down. She must have been crazy to ask him to stay the night yesterday. He had just entered the room, and he had already taken advantage of her. Although he didnt prate her in the end, her thighs were burning from all the friction. What an *sshole.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed fresh clothing from the balcony, sounding chirpy. It had been a while since he seemed this way, I only just realized you sized up now.


    Yan Su red at him from under the sheets with her face red, Give them to me quick.


    Be good. Ill put them on for you. Mo Liuxi scurried under the sheets as well, and after wrestling for a bit under there, Yan Su quickly sat up. She was worried they were ying with fire again and it would lead to something more. Im not going to y this game with you; Im exhausted.


    She sounded exhausted, You didnt sleep wellst night, either, did you?


    No, I didnt. Mo Liuxi hugged her andy down, wrapping his arms around her tightly and enjoying her softness. He was mesmerized by her scent. Last night, I was in the arms of another man; it was disgusting.


    Yan Su burst into giggles, I couldnt tell Professor Jiang looks so innocent and down-to-earth


    A wolf, Mo Liuxi grunted coldly. He wont be in his room tonight since Im not around. Hes probably off somewhere fooling around with Nian Xi.

 Chapter 1398. Liuxi, am I dreaming of you again?

    Chapter 1398. Liuxi, am I dreaming of you again?


    Dont put it that way. That sounds awful. Theyre in a proper rtionship. Yan Su stared hard at him. Her face was blushed pink, and she looked as if she was flirting with him, she looked extremely seductive.


    True. Mo Liuxi couldnt help but cups her cheeks tightly and kiss her. Touch my chest will you? I was taken advantage ofst night. Some heavy trauma and PTSD are going on.


    Yan Su giggled a little and stroked his chest casually. Before long, she had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her face as she slept; he wondered what she was thinking about. Her lips were curled upward, and she had a sweet smile on her face.


    He was feeling so much in one go. After tonight, he was sure he was falling in love with her all over again but was he ready to ept her child?


    Oy, forget about it. All he could do was to ignore these things. She told him she loved him. If it was true, was it possible that she had gotten pregnant before the two of them got into a rtionship? So she never betrayed him, and her feelings for him were real as well.


    Yan Su, am I right?


    He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.


    Yan Su groaned a little and scooted even closer to him, like a kitten.


    Sadly, Mo Liuxi found himself losing sleep again. He had insomnia when he slept with a man the previous night. Now, he had insomnia sleeping with a woman. Yan Su, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly and peacefully.


    The next day, he woke up first before Yan Su did. At around nine oclock, Jiaojiao came knocking on their door. She gave him a knowing smile and said, I knew you would be staying the night, I didnt want to intrude or interrupt anything, but she has to go to the music studio with the rest of the team at ten.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. I thought thepetition just happened yesterday, cant she get one day of rest?


    Jiaojiao sighed, The amount of hard work and results you get is proportionate to every singer out there in thepetition. Especially now that the finals are drawing closer, things are going to get even morepetitive, even more, heated from now on. Its difficult to choose a song as well. We have to arrange the score and get the choreography down as well. Everything is on a tight schedule. Besides, she has othermitments like your Christmas movie premiere.


    All right, I know. Ill go wake her. Mo Liuxi closed the door and turned to look at Yan Su, who was still sleeping. His heart ached; she was always a light sleeper. He knew how tired she must have been for her to stay asleep even after all this ruckus.


    He frowned and stared at her for a while before he kissed her awake,


    When Yan Su opened her eyes, she saw his ck eyshes first and smiled groggily. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, Liuxi, am I dreaming of you again?


    It was as if someone had just passed electricity through his brain, Mo Liuxis heart was tight, and he felt breathless. He finally opened his mouth in disbelief when he saw how groggy she looked, Do you always dream of me?


    Yeah. she rubbed her eyes, and after a while, it seemed as though she finally woke up.Im not dreaming right now? she asked.


    No, youre not. Mo Liuxis voice was shaking. Yan Su, were you pretending to be still asleep when you said that just now? You were just bluffing me, right?


    Yeah, I was just groggy. Got you. Yan Su would never admit she couldnt tell apart reality from her dreams.


    It was so embarrassing.


    It would be admitting that she dreamed of him all the time.


    Yan Su climbed out of bed and tried to run to the bathroom.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed her from behind, and he looked determined. Youre not bluffing meyou do dream of me often. What do you dream about?


    Yan Sus back was pressed against his naked chest. Her pretty brows were knitted tightly together. I dream of your nasty, foul mouth, all the nasty things that you would say. Its extremely unpleasant.

 Chapter 1399. You obviously miss me

    Chapter 1399. You obviously miss me


    Mo Liuxi looked down at her in disappointment, but he realized something was amiss. No, you had your arms around me just now.


    Yan Su didnt say anything, but she was blushing now.


    Mo Liuxiughed when he saw the look on her face. He turned her around and kissed her domineeringly. You miss me.


    Yan Su didnt answer.


    He was often in her dreams. Did she miss him then? Yeah, it was sweet and romantic every time she did meet him in her dreams, but when she woke up, she hated him whenever she thought of him.


    She bit him in frustration, and Mo Liuxi winced in pain. Ouch. Why did you bite me?


    I just wanted to. Cant I? Yan Sus cheeks were puffed up.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her thoughtfully for a few seconds before he kissed her and pushed her onto the bed.


    Kissing someone was highly addictive, especially once you let yourself go the first time. It would leave you wanting more.


    He wanted to have her right there and then, but they didnt have enough time.


    Yan Su, you are mine. Do you know that? You are mine, no other man is allowed to touch you, Mo Liuxi said in an overbearing manner after he kissed her.


    If you were mine, I wouldnt let you touch any other woman, Yan Su said softly.


    Depends on your performance, Mo Liuxi said purposely.


    Yan Su pushed him aside with force and said grumpily, Im going to the studio.


    Mo Liuxiy on the bed and watched her get up from behind. He was grinning now. The phone rang; it was Luosang. Are youing back soon? Were leaving for Leifeng Pagoda in a few minutes.


    Not yet.


    Luosang was annoyed. I thought I texted you yesterday on WeChat?


    I didnt see it, said Mo Liuxi, rubbing his ears. You guys go ahead. Ille by around lunchtime. Theres nothing much to see at Leifeng Pagoda. Are you hoping to see the White Maiden?


    Isnt it one of the major sightseeing spots in Hangzhou? Luosang was quiet. Come back soon. Were going to Wuzhen at one in the afternoon. We have to get there before evening.


    Were going to Wuzhen? Mo Liuxi was frowning deeply now. Did that mean he wouldnt be able to spend the night here again that night?


    I thought I told you on our way here. Luosang sounded frustrated on the phone. If he werent her biological brother, she would tell him off right away. Werent you listening to us at all? What have you been thinking about?


    I was thinking about the script. Mo Liuxi sounded a little sheepish when he answered her. Can I skip this trip


    No. Luosang rejected him instantly. Have you forgotten what we saidst night? Its so rare for the whole family toe out here; no one is allowed to skip. I dont care what big thing you have going on. Just look at how happy Dad is.


    All right, I know, Mo Liuxi said helplessly.


    Yan Su overheard the conversation in the bathroom. When she was done washing, she said, Go back quickly. Think about how youre going toe clean about An Ning as well. I have something to tell you as well. I think if we want to take things further, we have to be honest with one another.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed his hair in frustration. Thest thing he wanted to do was talk about An Ning, that b*tch.


    Go be with your family, Yan Su sighed. After patching things up with my family, I realized how important family is. You should spend more time with them if you can.


    Hmm, well if the bald guy has any designs on you, just give me a call right away, Mo Liuxi said coldly suddenly. I promise to throw him into the Xi Lake in the middle of winter.


    Yan Su was surprised. How did you know?


    When you were dancingst night, that sick b*stard tried to bend down to get a better look. I kicked him and sent him flying, Mo Liuxi growled. Dont dress so sexily next time. Wear skirts below the knee.

 Chapter 1400. Did you dressed up so sexily for me?

    Chapter 1400. Did you dressed up so sexily for me?


    Although he was as bossy as ever, her heart was swelling with happiness because he was looking out for her and loved her.


    He even got into a fight with someone because of her. She didnt know if he was being too rash or just cared about her too much.


    I was dressed that way for the concept of the song. Yan Su was smiling now. Besides you came to watch me yesterday. Werent you happy with the way I looked?


    Mo Liuxi was silent for a moment. Did you have me in mind when you picked that hot outfit


    Half half, I guess. Yan Su turned when she said that. She was ying it cool now.


    Mo Liuxi quickly scooped her up from the ground and buried his face in the nape of her neck. Dance for me when were alone next time.


    Yan Su was blushing as she wrapped her arms tightly around him. Its gettingte. Please put me down now. I have to get ready.


    Mo Liuxi looked at his watch. It was already nine-twenty. Time always passed so quickly when they were together.


    He dressed quickly while Yan Su put on a simple down jacket. Her face was clean and bright. Ill make a move first, then you leave and close the doorter. Oh right. Did Yan Jin say anything to you?


    At the mere mention of that kid, Mo Liuxi felt a headacheing on. Why is your little brother sending me links and articles on how to get along with little children and how to raise a child?


    Yan Su,


    Beats me. He must have gotten ess to those links from our mother, whos always reading articles on parenting.


    She couldnt help but giggle.


    I think you should be more open-minded and take a look at those articles when you get a chance. I mean, why not? Yan Su said earnestly. They mighte in handy in the future.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her withplicated feelings. Are you asking me to build a rtionship with your daughter or Yan Jin?


    You must trust that little Yan Jin has your best interests at heart Youlle to understand that soon enough. He must be updated on his social media tform quite often. Yan Su was a little nervous at the mention of this. Yan Jin posted photos of Yan Yan very frequently online. The awkward part was that Yan Yan didnt look like Yan Su at all. She looked like someone else entirely


    Oh, I blocked him on the social media tform. Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su was quiet; he would regret that sooner orter.


    Mo Liuxi cleared his throat. Are you upset with me?


    Nope. Im leaving. Yan Su turned to leave, but Mo Liuxi had already pulled her in front of him and kissed her sensually.


    Susu I I blocked Yan Jin not because I dont like him. Im just Im just not ready yet, Mo Liuxi said slowly.


    I understand; no need to pressurize yourself. The most important thing now would be to think about how youre going to exin yourself to me the thing with An Ning. Thats what Im talking about. Ill give you time. Yan Su whispered to him, her lips brushing against his. She gave him another light peck on the cheek before leaving.


    Mo Liuxi leaned against the wall. He was in a bind. What was he supposed to say? Although he had slept with another woman when he was drunk that day, he did have a good time that night. It was intoxicating.


    At eleven-twenty, Mo Liuxi met up with Luosang and the rest of the gang at a restaurant close to Xi Lake. When he arrived, Mo Jin gave him a suspicious smile and said, Ah. Youre back. Finally. Im curious. Which friend of yours is so dear to you that you would abandon your old mother, father, and sister? Why didnt you bring them along for the meal?


    My friend is busy, Mo Liuxi grinned and said happily. He was in high spirits for a change. How about this. Ill pay for the next couple of meals to express my sincerest apologies. Its the least I can do.

 Chapter 1401. Lets Get Married this Year. Will You Marry Me?

    Chapter 1401. Let''s Get Married this Year. Will You Marry Me?


    Mo Jin studied his pleased expression. Hmmm. He was up to something. But what? Was Yan Su interested in this little rascal of hers? If so, she would be inviting trouble


    Or was he just being wilful by insisting on staying over at her ce on his own?


    Nian Xi gave Mo Liuxi an oblique look. Why do I get the feeling that youre very pleased with yourself? Did you secretly run off to meet your girlfriend yesterday?


    Youre reading too much into this. I was just out with some directors to talk about the film, Mo Liuxi said casually as he redirected his attention to his food.


    When they finished eating, the group left the restaurant. Nian Junting stayed in the back of the group and patted Mo Liuxis shoulders. Not bad, he said sarcastically. You managed to spend the night so quickly. Have you lost your virginity yet?


    Suppressing a smirk, Mo Liuxi looked at him with a poker face and said, Are you joking? I lost it a long time ago. Dontpare me with yourself.


    He continued striding confidently ahead without looking back. Nian Junting watched him walk awayyoung people now so arrogant.


    At four oclock in the afternoon, they all arrived at Wuzhen.


    Nian Junting went to the counter to check-in while Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning chatted. Mo Liuxi walked over to them and said to Jiang Yuning, You can go to Nian Xis room tonight. I wont tell.


    Jiang Yuning was blushing now. You


    All right. Dont think I didnt know you two have been sleeping together for a long time. Mo Liuxi interrupted. I dont want you to hug me and grope my chest in the middle of the night.


    Jiang Yuning widened his eyes in disbelief as if he had just been wrongly used. His breathing quickened, and Nian Xi looked stunned, too. He grabbed your chest?


    Xixi, dont listen to him. Jiang Yuning shook his head vigorously. I didnt touch him.


    Mo Liuxi smirked. You know best what you were dreaming about. Im a guy. Of course, my chest isnt soft.


    He walked off, leaving an embarrassed Professor Jiang who just wanted to crawl into a hole.


    You idiot. Nian Xi was smiling as she pinched his arms. Are you embarrassed?


    Xixi Jiang Yunings face was beet red. Why did I be like this?


    Dont worry. Youre growing from a little rabbit into a big bad wolf after being with me. Nian Xi was grinning cheekily as she teased him.


    Jiang Yuning was frustrated. He whispered, Xixi, I dont think we should keep doing this. I feel so guilty and sinful. Lets get married this year. Will you marry me?


    Nian Xi was shocked. She looked around her and asked, Are you proposing to me in this hotel lobby?


    Jiang Yuning stood still for a moment before grabbing his hair. Im not proposing. Im just asking for your opinion. Ill propose again if its all right with you. If youre notfortable with it, it would be pointless if I proposed to you.


    Nian Xi smiled. You have such a way with words.asking me to marry you even though we have nothing now.


    Oh, its okay if we dont have children. Thats okay, Jiang Yuning frowned slightly, Im just concerned I heard that Yan Su is younger than you. Even if she gets married before us, howte would we be at the party? Will we break up in the future. Xixi, Im scared. I want to marry you soon.


    Nian Xi was startled but had to admit he was right. By right, if she continued seeing Jiang Yuning like this, they should be able to get married by the next yearUnless Yan Su was going to catch up with her with rocket-like speed or something happened between her and Jiang Yuning.


    She shook her head. She didnt want to think about that. Dont think about these things. We wont break up. Come on, lets go get our room cards.


    She squeezed his hand tenderly.

 Chapter 1402. Money more than anything else

    Chapter 1402. Money more than anything else


    Hangzhou.


    At seven oclock in the evening, Yan Su got a call from Ye Yunchang after dinner.


    Susu, have you eaten yet? Ye Yunchang asked breezily as if everything was between them was hunky-dory.


    I just ate. Is anything wrong, Brother Ye? Yan Su asked innocently.


    I just wanted to apologize. He sounded very sincere over the phone. After that interview in Beijingst time, I didnt expect the reporters to take my words out of context like that. I have no ill intentions or any hard feelings against you. Susu, I know you well. The media is just getting a little bored, and theyre using you to increase their viewership.


    Yan Suughed warily, but she didnt say anything.


    Ye Yunchang continued, There are a lot of international stars in the production crew who stepped up to testify for you. I didnt expect your connections to be so wide. There are a lot ofizens online, leaving me to hate messages. Susu, would you do me a favor and rify things online for me? I know its a lot to ask, but Im left with no choice. Look, we did work together once. We still have to see each other when we promote the film together


    Brother Ye Yan Su interrupted. Im still calling you brother out of politeness. Youre saying that youre a victim in this whole episode as well and that someone was using you. But I distinctly remember that you didnte out to rify anything the first day when the photos were released. You were silent when theizens were hating me. On the second day, when you did that interview, you left me in a lurch. Even when I was nearly kicked out of the entertainment industry, you refused to vouch for me. Youre only apologizing to me now after people came out to support me. I have to be honest; youreing across as a hypocrite.


    I was overseas. I wasnt following the news


    Enough, Yan Su said abruptly. I knew you were upset with me in Beijing. You were unfriendly and rude; we both know that. Theres no need to put on an act.


    Ye Yunchang was angry now. Yan Su, dont think youre all that big just because you went to Venice and participated in Asias Top Singer. Are you disregarding to me now? Back when you first started, you called me Brother Ye and were so respectful to me. Fine. If you want to make things ugly, I can tell you that Im not going to credit your authorship for that song Fearless that we coborated on.


    Yan Su tightened her grip on her phone. What do you mean?


    Ye Yunchang snickered. I wrote the lyrics for Fearless, and I arranged the music score. You have no rights over the single other than the fact that you sang along with me. From now on, you only have the performance rights to this song. You wont be getting a cent from the earnings.


    Fat chance! Yan Su, who was well-tempered by nature, was furious now. Shameless! Thats right! You wrote the lyrics and the score, but I made sixty percent of the changester on!


    Howe I dont know about that? Ye Yunchang sneered. Do you have any proof of your ims?


    Yan Su was quiet a moment. She had made the changes in his hardcopy manuscript then, but she didnt keep a copy of that manuscript. We signed a contract. If youre going to do this, Ill have no choice but to press charges.


    Bring it on.


    After she hung up, Yan Su called Xiang Wan. Ye Yunchang is despicably shameless, but I understand. Youre so popr now, and when the movie screens, the theme track will be hitting the charts, no doubt. If he ims the masters to the track, he will be reaping all the earnings, too. At his age and without any reputation left, hes trying to secure the money part of the show business.

 Chapter 1403. Meeting An Lan again

    Chapter 1403. Meeting An Lan again


    So, hes going to fight tooth and nail on this? Yan Su was fuming. I spent a lot of time on Fearless, so theres no way Im going to let him own the masters to the song. He says hes only going to give me the rights to perform the song, but he gets to keep the earnings from all my performances. Thats ludicrous.


    Xiang Wan sighed. If only we had the manuscript. Why did you hand it over to him? Ill go look through the contract and see if we can settle this out of court; if not, well have to follow protocol with our legal team.


    Okay, said Yan Su, nodding. Her head was spinning. She never saw thising.


    Over the next few days, Xiang Wan tried to mediate things with Ye Yunchangs managingpany, but they proposed an earnings ratio of 2:7. Yan Su would only be keeping 20% of the profits. Xiang Wan was outraged, and she posted thewyers letter online.


    Once again, Yan Su was in the headlines.


    When Mo Liuxi heard the news in school, he called Yan Su immediately. Do you want me to settle this for you? Ye Yunchang is asking for a beating.


    If he had known this during the auditions, he wouldnt have suggested him to sing the theme song with Yan Su.


    How are you going to settle this? By kicking him out of the entertainment industry? Yan Su was frustrated. Hes not going to budge. Weve already received some pretty good offers from streamingworks for streaming rights to this song. He is dying to grab hold of the masters of this track. Ill be meeting An Lan in a couple of days to discuss the case. Ill get back to you.


    An Lan? Mo Liuxi raised his brow.


    Yeah, I signed a contract with thepany. Shell be in charge of all of my cases from now on. Yan Suughed and said, she settled the copyright case for mest time, too.


    Mo Liuxi got annoyed at the mention of An Lansname, but he trusted her professional abilities, no doubt. He had heard from Nian Junting that Shengting had signed a long-term working contract with An Lansw firm and that An Lan was getting better at her craft. She wasnt considered a topwyer yet because of her young age, but her reputation and track record rivaled that of a topwyer.


    On Saturday, An Lan flew over to Hangzhou to meet up with Yan Su. They discussed the case.


    When she met An Lan again, Yan Su found that she was even sharper and more fashionable than before. Her ck hair was tied up in an up-do, and she carried a sleek leather case. She looked sexy and intimidating at the same time, especially her gaze. It seemed as though there was nothing she could hide from this formidable woman in front of her. Yan Su thought that maybe all topwyers looked like this.


    When they talked about the loopholes in the contract, An Lan was quick and precise to point out the main points.


    Yan Su thought about An Ning again. The two sisters were so different from one another, like day and night.


    Sigh


    Miss Yan, why are you sighing? An Lan stopped talking about the contract. She just paused and smiled reassuringly.


    I just I just thought of An Ning, Yan Su stammered.


    An Lan sighed upon hearing her sisters name. Why? Do you think that werepletely different from one another?


    You have different personalities, Yan Su said, smiling.


    My parents spoiled An Ning rotten. Theyre too easy on her, An Lan sighed. I havent seen her in a long time. Last year, she ran away out of fear for Mo Liuxi.


    Whaaat? Yan Su was confused. Wait a minute


    An Lan exined, The school expelled her, didnt they? My parents brought her to Mo Liuxis ce, and he threw her into the little pond in winter. She had to be hospitalized for several days. I told her to enroll in a professional course, but she wouldnt listen and just ran away. I havent heard from her since.


    Yan Su was horrified. No, no, no. This couldnt be true. Or could it?

 Chapter 1404. I didnt know that An Ning did that to Liuxi when he was drunk...

    Chapter 1404. I didn''t know that An Ning did that to Liuxi when he was drunk...


    Was Mo Liuxi angry when she sent her those photos?


    An Lan sighed helplessly, My head hurts just thinking about that kid, you dont know, my parents made me go beg Mr. Nianst year. How could I do that? Mr. Nian told me straight away that my sister took the opportunity when Mo Liuxi was intoxicated with alcohol to to


    What did you say? Yan Su widened her eyes in disbelief.


    An Lan was embarrassed and awkward, Well you should know about the two of them, if not you wouldnt have broken up. I heard my sister sent those photos to you.


    I know about it, yes, Yan Su nodded her head, I didnt know that An Ning did that to Liuxi when he was drunk


    What a coincidence, she was drunk too when she slept with Mo Liuxi, was it the same for An Ning?


    Sounds fishy.


    How could the same thing happen twice?


    Yan Su thought about it, and she asked with suspicion, When did they sleep together.


    Im not sure about that, thinking about Mo Liuxis character, An Lan was worried that she might say something wrong and she quickly added, Actually I can tell that Mo Liuxi likes you, he looked down and out when I bumped into himst year with the Nian family. Between An Ning and him, I dont think he ever liked her at all. An Ning was terrified at the mention of him as well. She might have done other things as well.


    Yan Su was deep in her thoughts.


    She knew that Mo Liuxi didnt like An Ning back then as well. An Ning was the one who was always pestering her. When she found out that Mo Liuxi had slept with An Ning back then, she had assumed that Mo Liuxi was just pretending to be an earnest nice guy. In reality, he just enjoyed physical intimacy and sleeping with many other women. There are a lot of men like this; after all, people who separate sex and love.


    But she seemed to have caught onto something now, ording to what An Lan had just told her. Something seemed a little off, Lawyer An, you have no idea where An Ning is now?


    Yeah, An Lan grimaced, I hope that shes having it a little rough out there, though, so that she can have a chance to turn over a new leaf and reflect on what she has done. That kid hasnt had it tough before. Im just worried that her personality will get more and more twisted, and she willmit worse mistakes.


    Shes a grown-up now, she had to face the consequences of her own choices, Yan Su could sympathize with the sentiments of an older sister with a disobedient younger sibling.


    Seems like weve gotten off track, An Lan smiled as she flipped through the documents, We forget the order of matter here. The odds are not in our favor if we only have these documents on hand; the best way would be to prove your abilities in court inparison to Ye Yunchang. That way, we can show that Yue Yunchang would never be able to write a song like that without your input.


    Yan Sus eyes lit up, Thats an angle we could work.


    An Lan nodded her head, I hope the panel of jury wont include Xu Bohan, hes notoriously famous for being inflexible.


    Yan Su was curious.


    Ay, ourw firm always loses whenever we bump into him. An Lan grimaced as she stood up, Its gettingte, I have another meeting with a client, I wont take up any more of your time then.


    Thank you very much then, Yan Su shook her hands and made sure to see her out. The more she thought about her conversation with An Lan, the weirder she felt.


    She decided to call Mo Liuxi, I just met with An Lan, she told me about what happened with An Ning.


    Mo Liuxi was frozen, his lively spirit was doused with ice water at the mention of that person. He wondered what An Lan had told her, although he was going toe clean with her, he wasnt quite ready to talk about it yet.

 Chapter 1405. You were there that night

    Chapter 1405. You were there that night


    I thought we were going to talk about this after yourpetition? Mo Liuxi stuttered sheepishly.


    Yeah, but since it came up in conversation today, I just want to know something, Yan Su said in a low voice. You havent thought about what to say, have you? Or were you just lying to me when you told me that you were drunk?


    Of course not, Mo Liuxi replied. I had too much to drink that day when I woke up. She was just lying there next to me.


    Yan Sus heart sank. Was he that unlucky to have that happen to him twice?


    If it was true, he might be too easy. Although she did it once also, she was still sour about it. Can you tell me then, when did it happen?


    Why do you want the details? Mo Liuxi was frustrated. Anyway, it didnt happen when we were together. If you have to ask me for an exact date, I think it was not long after my sister got married. You were around that night as well.


    I was there too? Yan Su felt as if she was struck by lightning.


    Although the two of them were from the same school, they rarely saw each other outside, not to mention drinks, except for that night they spent together.


    That night when we were celebrating the student council heads birthday. Zhang Hongchuan dragged me there. Mo Liuxi said. I had drunk too much and was totally wasted. When I woke up, I was in the room above the club and An Ning, that b*tch, was next to me.


    Total silenceMo Liuxi could hear his heart pound. Yan Su, are you bothered by that? I have to tell you, you dont have a right to be. You even had a child with Shi Xiang.


    Yan Su ignored this nonsense. Her brain was buzzing and she could hear a ringing sound in her ears. Her thoughts were running wild and her head hurt.


    She was silly. She was the one whod slept with him that night. She left first thing in the morning. Why was An Ning the one lying next to him when he woke up? How did An Ning get in there? She remembered shutting the door when she left. Did she leave the door ajar, or did An Ning sneak in?


    When she went into the room, did she just lie there, or did she do it with Mo Liuxi?


    She had been very jealous at first, but now she just felt kind of bad for Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su, say something. What do you mean by your silence? Mo Liuxi was getting more anxious and angry.


    No, Im just thinking about something. Yan Su rubbed her head. Can you tell me more about that night? Did you do it with An Ning when you woke up in the morning?


    I dont want to talk about that night anymore. Mo Liuxi didnt want to say that he enjoyed himself that night. Of course, I didnt do anything with An Ning in the morning, I nearly went crazy when I woke up. If not for my strong emotions, I might have ended up in the hospital from shock. But I always felt as if it wasnt her that night; it wasnt her that I slept with But she kept insisting that it was her first time that night and she would cry and cry. I felt bad whenever she sobbed, although I hated her, I still felt as if I had to take some responsibility. After a while, I realized that our personalities were drastically ipatible and she was a pathological liar. She always had to take things to the extreme.


    Oh my God, Yan Su was muttering.


    Right, oh my God. Mo Liuxi sighed. I dont know what rotten luck I had to meet someone like An Ning.


    Yeah


    By now, Yan Su pieced together most of what had happened that night. She wondered if Mo Liuxi would want to murder her if he found out the truth about that night.

 Chapter 1406. The Child is Yours

    Chapter 1406. The Child is Yours


    She didnt know that all these things happened after she ran away that day.


    Where did An Ning get the nerve to do something like that? It was despicable.


    Whats more, she couldnt believe that An Ning had been ying her and Mo Liuxi, like puppets in her palm, all this time.


    Um Liuxi theres something I never told you. Yan Su felt nervous when she opened her mouth and could hardly get the words out.


    What is it? Mo Liuxis voice was cold. Dont tell me you want to break up again and go back to that pr*ck


    Yan Su was shuddering from his cold voice. No, thats not it. You have to promise me something before I tell you. You cant beat me up or bully me if I tell you the truth.


    Mo Liuxi had a sick feeling in his stomach. Dont tell me youre pregnant again.


    No Can you stop postting and assuming that I cheated on you? Yan Su said.


    Because you did it before, Mo Liuxi said viciously.


    No, I didnt.


    Then where did the childe from? Did she jump up from the cracks of the earth? Mo Liuxis temples were throbbing now at the mention of the child again.


    I want to tell you about the childs father


    I dont want to know. I dont want to know. Mo Liuxi hung up.


    Yan Su was bbergasted and immediately called him back.


    When he answered, she said, Wait for me to finish before hanging up, can you please? The child is yours.


    This time, it was her turn to have a bad feeling in her stomach.


    Yan Su. This is the most ridiculous joke you have ever told. Mo Liuxi felt like vomiting for a split second before he startedughing hysterically. How could I impregnate you just from all that grinding at your door? I dont think my sperm is that strong.


    Yan Sus face was hot. That night um that night. It wasnt An Ning. It was me


    Mo Liuxi was silent for a while before he spoke again. Yan Su, dont mess with my head. This is no time for games. Do you have to go this far and tell lies to get me to ept your child?


    If it was her that nighthe might just strangle her to death.


    Im not lying to you. Yan Su was feeling lightheaded. It was me. I had a little too much to drink that night, and I was lying in bed with you when I woke up. I was terrified so I just packed up and left. urately, I ran. I just dont get how An Ning ended up in bed with you. I asked for the details just now because I still cant figure it out. I wanted to be sure.


    Impossible! Mo Liuxi interrupted her with a nasty tone, How could anything like this happen?


    It was the biggest joke in the world.


    I didnt expect this, okay? Yan Su was muttering under her breath now. We didnt see eye to eye then. And you were so mean to me. You wanted to rob me of the red packet money at Luosangs wedding. I thought you would strangle me to death that morning when you woke upthats why I ran. I remember I bumped into you near the bathroom. I pounced on you and kissed you Do you remember how guilty and sheepish I looked when we bumped into one another the next day?


    Yan Su Mo Liuxis throat hurt from all the shouting.


    He had never mentioned any of this before for her to know the details, so it must have been her that night.


    He had considered the fact that it wasnt An Ning he had slept with, but another female ssmate from that party. He just never expected it to be Yan Su.


    Yan Su, how could you do such a thing? Mo Liuxi wanted to skin her alive, You dont have the guts to admit it after pouncing on me like that. Thats highly irresponsible of you. Youre a coward.

 Chapter 1407. You caused irreversible damage to my life

    Chapter 1407. You caused irreversible damage to my life


    Yan Su put her phone a distance away from her ear.


    Really, he had it real good as well. How could he say those things about her, as if she was an ungrateful douchebag? Please! It was her first time, too.


    But she was willing to bear the responsibility for what happened with An Ningter on.


    Mo Liuxi continued to use her angrily. You say I was mean to you. Why did you pounce on me when I was drunk then? If I was so nasty, why did you seduce me?


    Yan Su couldnt stand it anymore. She retaliated by saying, I was drunk out of my mind that night too. I couldnt even see your face. I had just broken up and was in a foul mood and decided to act willfully. I didnt know it was you You have to believe me.


    Mo Liuxi was even angrier. You mean you would have slept with any other guy that night? Is that right? Good for you, Yan Su. What if I wasnt the one you bumped into that night?


    Can you be reasonable? Yan Su retaliated. Dont act as if you knew it was me that night. You didnt choose to sleep with me. You would have had a good time with another woman, Im sure. You thought that it was An Ning when you woke up, didnt you? Dont push all the me to me. We did it so many times that night. How could you get wrong when you woke up in the morning? Dont you have any intuition at all?


    You can try getting drunk again. See if you can recognize the person you wake up next to, that stranger. See if you can tell the difference. Besides, I wasnt drunk on your face that night. You hit on me.


    All right, good for you! Yan Su had felt guilty before, but now, the exchange was making her angry. The jokes on me, I dont have a pretty enough face. I couldnt make asting impression on you.


    Is this the time to fight about this now? Mo Liuxi interrupted her through gritted teeth. Were talking about how you slept with me and ran away, irresponsibly. Do you know how much hurt you caused me? Not only did you rob me of my first time, but I also had to endure An Ning day and night after that incident. Every time I think about that encounter, I feel as if I ate spoiled food. You caused damage to my physical body, but more importantly, you caused pain to my mental well-being. You stole my seed as well. And you had a baby without my permission. Youre scaring me to death.


    Yan Su,


    Why did it seem as though it was all her fault?


    It was my first time okay? Not only did you have a good time. You get to be a dad for free. Dont you remember how mean and nasty you were to me back then? I couldnt believe that there was a man like you out there. I was so afraid that you finish me off or poison me to death with your foul mouth. Of course, I ran.


    Okay. Why didnt you tell me after we started dating? Mo Liuxi wanted to dissect her brain and figure out what exactly she was thinking. You didnt tell me when you were pregnant either. I thought the child was Shi Xiangs!


    I was worried you would strip me and eat me alive if I told you then, Yan Su stuttered. I wanted to tell you only after we were physically intimate with one another, but An Ning sent me those photos. I thought you two had slept together.


    Mo Liuxi snickered. It was all because of you.


    Yan Su,


    Were back in the same spot again.


    Yan Su! You caused irreversible damage to my life. I will never let you off, Mo Liuxi said viciously.


    Yan Su shuddered, Can you please be reasonable for a bit here.


    Wash your neck and wait for me. Mo Liuxis voice was eerie.

 Chapter 1408. I need to see you right now. Im going to eat you alive

    Chapter 1408. I need to see you right now. I''m going to eat you alive


    Yan Su looked at her tiny room and felt chills run down her spine. Calm down a little. Can you at least wait until I finish mypetition?


    Do you think I can calm down? Mo Liuxi bellowed. You dropped a bombshell on methat Im a father! If not for the fact that I just went to the bathroom, I would have peed in my pants!


    Um if you dont want the child I wont force you. Anyway, I was the one who decided to keep her. Yan Su bit her lips in frustration. He was still so young, after all. It was understandable that he didnt want to be a father yet.


    Shut up, what are you saying? Mo Liuxi interrupted her rudely. I will never let my child grow up the way I did. I wont let her live with only one parent.


    Thats why I told you the truth. And Im trying to fix things.


    Mo Liuxi chortled. Are you saying that youre patching things up with me for the childs sake?


    If I were doing this for my babys sake, I wouldnt have hidden things from you. Yan Su was getting a headache now. I think you need some time to calm down; you said so yourselfthat youre shell shocked.


    How can I calm down? I need to see you right now. Im going to eat you alive. Im not going to let you get out of bed for at least three days and three nights. Mo Liuxi pronounced each word deliberately and slowly.


    He always thought they hadnt done it before and that their first time was going to be special and treasured. Now he knew he was aplete fool. How could he hold himself back? He should have eaten her alive long before this.


    Yan Su was trembling now. Um I have something on Im going to hang up first


    Wheres my child. Tell me Mo Liuxi yelled into the receiver.


    I told you that I would bring you to see her over the Lunar New Year, Yan Su quickly interrupted and hung up.


    When she put down her phone, she called Jiaojiao when she thought about Mo Liuxi. I think I need to move out and stay somewhere else. Dont tell anyone where Im staying, not even Mo Liuxi Yeah, I did something. He might beat me up. If you dont want me to perform badly for thepetition, you have to keep your lips sealed


    Yan Su quickly packed up her things after talking to Jiaojiao. She had to evacuate the ce within two hours, as fast as possible.


    Mo Liuxi was standing in school along the tree-shaded pavement; he was still lnplete shock.


    Although he was raving mad just a few minutes ago, now that he had regained hisposure, he felt as if he was living in a dream.


    Yan Su was the woman that night?


    And she gave birth to their child?


    Why did it seem like a fantasy ending to their story? It was perfect.


    Just then, Zhang Hongchuan walked by and found him standing there, frozen and daydreaming. It had started to drizzle, and he quickly ran over to him with an umbre. What are you thinking about? Its raining!


    Mo Liuxi looked at him for a split second and pinching Zhang Honghchuans arms hard. Zhang Hongchuan squealed in pain. He couldnt even hold the umbre properly. Mo Liuxi, you cant intimidate me like this just because youve be a famous director.


    Does it hurt? Mo Liuxi asked.


    Of course it does. Try it on yourself if you dont believe me, Zhang Hongchuan said through gritted teeth.


    So, Im not dreaming, after all. Mo Liuxi burst intoughter. He was ted. He bent forward so that the raindrops fell on his face. Zhang Hongchuan thought he looked like a raving lunatic.


    Do you want to go to the hospital to get it checked out


    Im leaving. Mo Liuxi grabbed the umbre as he turned to walk away, with his hands in his pockets.


    Zhang Hongchuan took a moment to react. Hey, can you give me my umbre back, at least?


    F*ck. What rotten luck he had to know someone so dreadful.

 Chapter 1409. Uncle, Little Apple Is Not That… Close to You

    Chapter 1409. Uncle, Little Apple Is Not That�� Close to You


    At Tianhu Vi.


    Luosang wasnt recording in the studio today, instead, she was resting at home with Little Apple.


    Little Apple was doing terrific, as he was already walking and he could already say, Mama and Dada. Luosangs heart melted each time he said that.


    When she was ying on the swing with Little Apple, Mo Liuxi suddenly sped into the driveway in his sports car.


    Little Apple stared at him with his big round eyes; he didnt approach him to ask for any hugs. He knew from experience that his father and his uncle would often reject his advances and requests for hugs.


    Especially his uncle; he looked as if Little Apple had offended him in some way.


    He must have peed on him a lot when he was younger.


    As for his father, Mama would tell him that he was just jealous of his pretty little face. Although he agreed with the fact that his fathers face was nowhere as adorable as his, he was his dad after all.


    Dont you have sses at this time? What are you doing here? Luosang looked at him with surprise. Her brother had never been over at this time of day. Not willing anyway.


    I thought I wanted to see Little Apple. Mo Liuxi suddenly smiled at Little Apple.


    Little Apple was scratching the back of his head now. Uncle, Little Apple is not that close to you.


    Mo Liuxi swallowed, but he lifted Little Apple out of the swing anyway. Let uncle have a good look at how adorable our Little Apple is.


    Back when Yan Su was pregnant, he would be reminded of her betrayal every time he saw little children. He wasnt keen on ying with Little Apple, but now, all he wanted to do was to be good with kids. He wanted to know more about children and how their minds worked.


    Little Apple was stunned as Mo Liuxi shed a bright beautiful smile at him. He looked over at Luosang and said, Mama, has uncle gone mad?


    Luosang,


    Her son was verbalizing her thoughts exactly.


    No wonder Little Apple thought his uncle was going mad. Mo Liuxi had never been good with children in the past. She had thought that it was because of his upbringing and his childhood experiences so she never med him for anything. She didnt expect him to just drop by like this suddenly and change his stance 180 degrees. Liuxi did something happen to you? You can talk to your sister you know


    Nope. Nothing happened. I just thought that I shouldnt be so averse to children like I was in the past. They are little angels. The most adorable little sweethearts in this world. Mo Liuxi was staring at Little Apple and grinning like a fool. His own daughter must be as adorable as Little Apple. No, even more so. After all, he had a little girl. She must take after the best parts of Yan Su and himself.


    Luosang was feeling a little nauseous from what he just proimed. It was weird to hear such things from Nian Junting and her brother.


    Uncle, youre scaring me a little. Little Apple was blinking his big round eyes. Are you my real uncle?


    Its me, your real uncle. Mo Liuxi hugged him tightly and nted a kiss on his fat cheek.


    Little Apple shuddered and looked at Luosang. Mama, Im scared


    Luosang,


    Little Apple said, Mama, didnt you tell me that people dont treat you well out of the blue for no good reason? Is he jealous of my cute, pretty face?


    What nonsense are you saying? Im not your father. Mo Liuxi chuckled softly and put Little Apple back into the swing. Little Apple, uncle is leaving now. Ill drop by again to see you some other time.


    After he drove off in his sports car, Luosang was trying not tough. Why on earth did hee over?

 Chapter 1410. I Am Jins Mother

    Chapter 1410. I Am Jin''s Mother


    After he drove out of the vi, Mo Liuxi rolled his car to a stop along the road.


    He went into Yan Jins WeChat ount and unblocked all of his status updates.


    Before, he didnt understand why Yan Jin would ask him to pay more attention to his status updates and send articles on parenting to him. He finally understood his intentions now. He didnt do it out of the blue; he had his best interest at heart. Yan Jin was dropping hints for him all along. How did he only realize that now?


    How many opportunities did he miss to find out the truth?


    His hands were shaking now. He wondered what his daughter looked like.


    When he unblocked Yan Jin, tons of photos spilled out in front of his eyes. Yan Jin posted many photos of him and Yan Yan.


    The little baby in the photos was wearing a baby pink onesie and an orange knitted bear hat. Her eyes were watery and big. She had longshes, rosy cheeks and fair skin like tofu. She had the most adorable smile in the entire world.


    This was his daughter?


    She resembled him in some ways.


    He scrolled through more photos to when it was summertime. The little baby was wearing a t-shirt with cute shorts, lying on a rattan mat. She was sucking her thumb and looked like an adorable little piggy as she took her afternoon nap.


    This didnt look like Shi Xiangs daughter at all. How could Shi Xiang ever have a daughter this perfect?


    Mo Liuxi was feeling a little torn. He was honestly shocked when he found out that he had be a dad all of the blue. He was raised by a single mum and he never looked forward to having children of his own. He was still in college as well; he never expected himself to be a dad at such a young age.


    He thought that he would at least be in his thirties or forties before he would be a father, but he wasnt repelled by the idea, especially not by a baby girl. He would love to shower her with love and affection; his precious little baby.


    It was too bad he missed the journey when she was born. It was all that bitchs fault, An Ning. No wonder she ran away. Regardless, he would find a way to take his revenge even if she ran to every corner of the world.


    After looking through all the photos of his daughter, Mo Liuxi sent a message to Yan Jin. Jin, its been a while since we talked. Your brother ising to Jiangxi to settle some business. Is it okay if I take you out to eat some good food?


    After about three minutes, a reply came in saying, Who are you?


    Mo Liuxi replied, ???


    Ultra handsome Jin replied, I am Jins mother.


    Mo Liuxi trembled slightly. He was talking to his future mother-inw then.


    He wasnt prepared at all and was at a loss of what to say. She would be horrified if he just dropped the bomb and told her that he was the father of Yan Sus child. She might even scold him to death.


    Ultra handsome Jin: Although I dont know who you are, you sound like a conman judging from what you just sent me. I dont even know you, but I am Yan Jins mother. I wont let you near my child. Im warning you, stay away from us. My child is young and innocent, dont bother him again.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. Who could ever fool Yan Jin? He was bright and a sharp little thing. He paused before exining himself saying, Aunty, I am Yan Sus friend. Im not a conman. Ill drop by and visit you sometime.


    Ultra handsome Jin: Youre trying to use my son to court my daughter? Youre really using all sorts of unscrupulous methods. Are you an anti-fan or some rich pursuer? Im warning you. Stay away from both my son and daughter or else Im going to call the police.


    Mo Liuxi replied saying, No, aunty, there must be some misunderstanding


    But he could no longer send any more messages to her as she had blocked him and removed him from her friends list.


    Mo Liuxi,


    He wanted to ask for their address in Jiangxi so that he could visit them. He wanted to drop by and thank her for all that she had done to raise his daughter.

 Chapter 1411. He Thought That He Could Step All Over Her

    Chapter 1411. He Thought That He Could Step All Over Her


    Just like that, he was blocked from the ount. He didnt even get to save a single photo of his daughter.


    Mo Liuxi was about to break down. He quickly added him as a friend on WeChat again but his request was ignored.


    He decided to drive straight to the airport. He was going to fly to Hangzhou to find Yan Su. He was going to trap her in bed for three days and three nights. There was no way he was going to let her off this time, not even for herpetition.


    Jiangxi, at the Yan house.


    Jiang Peiying walked across the yard to the nursery room and said to her son who was piecing a puzzle, Look at you. How could you add random strangers online? Theres someone called Xixi on your WeChat thats trying to add you again even after I deleted him. Hes relentless. The anti-fans are getting out of hand nowadays. Thank goodness I discovered it, or you might have been swindled and not even know it.


    Xixi? Yan Jin looked up and blinked his eyes.


    Yeah, you should pay more attention in the future. Jiang Peiying looked at him warningly. Youre not allowed to add him again.


    All right.


    Yan Jin was feeling gleeful. His sister had called him not long ago telling him that Xixi had found out about Yan Yan. She had asked him to keep their house address a secret from him. Xixi was probably trying to get some news or information from him.


    Hehe. Too bad for him that Jiang Peiying was strict about screen time on the phone.


    This situation made him very pleased indeed. He gave Mo Liuxi a chance to get to know him better in the past. Too bad he chose to block him online. Now it was toote.


    Yan Jin hummed a little tune as he continued putting his puzzle together.


    At night, Mo Liuxi rushed over to Hangzhou. An unfamiliar middle-aged woman greeted him when he knocked furiously on the door of Yan Sus apartment.


    Who are you? Where is Yan Su? Mo Liuxi barged into the apartment only to find that none of Yan Sus belongings were there anymore.


    Are you crazy? The middle-aged woman scolded him saying, Who is Yan Su? I live here alone. You need to leave before I call the police.


    Mo Liuxi frowned as he scanned the t. He figured what had happened and asked, Are you the tenant that just moved in here today?


    Duh, I just moved in here an hour ago.


    Im sorry to bother you. Mo Liuxi walked out of the apartment angrily and called Yan Su. He was furious and he spoke with a menacing tone saying, You moved out?


    Chills ran down her spine when she heard his voice. You really came over?


    Yan Su, did you think I was joking when I warned you just now? Mo Liuxi was clenching his teeth. I thought I asked you to take a shower, get clean and wait for me?


    Yan Su replied to him softly saying, Youre so worked up now. Of course I had to hide from you. Did you think that I was just going to wait for you to give it to me? I was nning to tell you everything when we met for the New Year. I was going to bring you to see Yan Yan. I didnt expect to break the news to you like this, or this early. I dont want this to affect thepetition.


    Do you think I wont be able to find you? Mo Liuxi said coldly. Great, go on and hide. Lets see how long it takes for me to find you. Anyway, youll inevitably be trapped in bed for three days and three nights.


    Yan Su,


    At the end of the day, why did it sound as if it was all her fault?


    Whatever. He was allowed to say whatever he wanted. She just didnt want him to bother her at this moment.


    Gee, he really thought that he could step all over her just because she hadnt lost her temper yet.


    Yan Su was upset too. Dont sound too cocky. I remember when we spent one night together you were so tired that you werepletely knocked out. You were still asleep when I woke up the next day. I wouldnt have been able to sneak away if your stamina was a little better. An Ning would have never gotten the chance to get between us. Dont talk about three days and three nights. I think it would be remarkable if you couldst one whole day. You should amp up on your tonics, deer blood and deer whip before youe over. Of course, dont overdo it.


    She then hung up.

 Chapter 1412. What Could He Do if She Decided to Lie Still?

    Chapter 1412. What Could He Do if She Decided to Lie Still?


    Mo Liuxi was shaking from anger.


    What did she just say? Was she looking down on him? All right, she was getting more and more arrogant.


    Good. He would make sure that she wouldnt be climbing out of bed for four days and four nights.


    He would prove himself. He would go to the ends of the earth to find her; there was no way she could hide from him.


    When the call ended, Yan Su was shocked by what she had just said over the phone. What on earth did she just say to him? She was almost regretting her conversation and wished that she could retract her statement.


    She knew Mo Liuxi well enough to know that he would never let her off the hook.


    She was bound to be punished for her words; it was just a matter of dying her reckoning now.


    Yan Su washed her face with some cold water and thought about the situation that she was in. Sheforted herself with the hope that he would eventually tire himself out.


    What else could he do if she decided to lie still?


    Although that was what she was telling herself, she was still intimidated by Mo Liuxi. Over the next few days, she was so anxious that it affected her performance at work. It was difficult for her to concentrate on her music. Finally, Abu asked worryingly, Susu, whats going ontely? Ive got a feeling that your heart is not really here with us. Youll be in danger tomorrow if youre like this in thepetition.


    Perhaps Ive just been too stressed out. Yan Su nodded her head.


    It was Friday and Yan Su rushed to the television station for thepetition. When she arrived in the studio, she looked around anxiously. She had been hiding over the past few days from Mo Liuxi but it wouldnt be hard for him to catch her here at the studio. After all, he did start a fight here and left unscathed.


    In the resting lounge, she leaned back and quietly thought about her performance when someone knocked on the door. She jumped like a frightened rabbit and got to her feet.


    When Jiaojiao walked over to open the door, it was the television station crew members bringing them supper. Miss Yan, our director ordered this for you.


    Thank you so much. Jiaojiao took over the bags of food and looked over at Yan Su with a bemused expression. Whats the matter with you? Are you that afraid of Mr. Mo showing up?


    Yan Su forced a tired smile and said, Well, just lock the door before thepetition starts. Im not going to see anyone, no matter who is asking for me.


    Jiaojiao was speechless.


    At 7:30 p.m., Yan Su put on her mic as she got ready for her performance. She was the first one up that day and because of her little situation with Mo Liuxi over the past week, she hadnt been able to perform to her best potential. When she finished her performance, she knew that she didnt do as well as before.


    When she returned to her lounge, feelings of stress enveloped her.


    Jiaojiaoforted her saying, Dont think too much about it. You were great out there.


    Yan Su shook her head. I already knew when I was rehearsing. Everyone put in their 101% this time but I wasnt able to focus on my music. Im not going to score a good rank this time around.


    Theres nothing shameful about losing this round today. After all, youvee such a long way. Jiaojiao smiled. It wont be a bad thing to get eliminated today. After all, Chinese New Year ising. You can finally take a break after this and see your parents.


    All of a sudden, Yan Su thought about Yan Yan. It had been a while since shest saw her and she would always end up in tears whenever she video called her little darling.


    Yeah.


    It was about an hour until the voting segment. Yan Su grabbed a quick bite and sat on the couch listening to the music. Jiaojiao had to go somewhere else to settle some things with the director.


    Before long, the door creaked open and Yan Su looked up. What did the director say?

 Chapter 1413. Youre a Better Kisser Than Anyone Else

    Chapter 1413. You''re a Better Kisser Than Anyone Else


    Im not sure what the director asked her to do but I dont think she will be returning soon. Mo Liuxi locked the door behind him and leaned against the doorframe with an elegant smile on his face.


    Yan Sus head went nk.


    She never thought that his morous, bright face could look so intimidating and creepy.


    Are you so happy to see me that youre at a loss of words? Mo Liuxi took off his coat and threw it over the chair beside him.


    Yan Su covered her chest with her arms instinctively and red at him with a worried look on her face. What are you doing?


    Mo Liuxi halted in his footsteps and looked around. His gleaming ck pupils looked mischievous. Why? Did you think that I was going to eat you alive right here?


    Yan Su,


    Wasnt that what he was nning to do then? Why else was he undressing?


    Yan Su, you are so horny. Mo Liuxi walked over to her and stared into her eyes as he bent down slightly. His voice sounded dangerously tense. No wonder you would throw yourself at me and seduce me. No wonder you could wake up the next day and pretend like nothing ever happened. No wonder you could boast about having better stamina than me. Dont you know where were at right now? Were in the lounge of a television station. People are walking on the corridors outside. You have to get on stageter too.


    Yan Su breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he had not lost his mind yet. He was still being reasonable. Since you know all of that already


    But since you are thinking about it already, I have no choice but to oblige. Mo Liuxi slowly removed his sweater; his hair was tousled and a little messy. He still looked as handsome as ever and Yan Su caught a glimpse of his bronzed abs when he lifted the sweater above him. She was blushing now.


    She couldnt believe her ears.


    Dont worry, Ill try to finish quickly before you go on stage. Dont be so tense. After all, its not our first time together, right? Mo Liuxi looked at her with intention as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt. The atmosphere was thick with intensity.


    Calm down, will you? Yan Sus legs were trembling a little. She was wearing a dress and she had makeup on. How was she going to go back on stageter? She would die of embarrassment. She wouldnt daree back to the television station again. Were out in public now. Can we talk when we go backter?


    She ran to the door but Mo Liuxi grabbed her from behind before she could get far.


    Now youre intimidated. Mo Liuxi pressed his head against her ear from behind. Where did your confidence go? I thought you said that my stamina was too poor? Yan Su, did you know that you can never say such a thing to a man? What should I say about you? Youre bold enough to run away after sleeping with me and to hide after insulting me, but now that Im here, youre timid like a mouse. I thought you asked me to drink deers blood beforeing. Let me tell you that I ate an entire ox before I came here.


    Yan Sus ears were ticklish and she was about to implode. I wouldnt have run away if you hadnt been threatening me every day. Stop saying that I seduced you or something. I did initiate the kiss but you lost control after that as well. Mo Liuxi, dont put all the responsibility on me. You had a good time too. I dont think youve got much self-control either. Even if it was An Ning that night, Im sure she could have gotten you in bed as well.


    Impossible. Mo Liuxi tightened his lips, interrupting her.


    Why not? You cant be sure of that, Yan Su said grumpily.


    Mo Liuxi was silent for a while before replying, Youre a better kisser than anyone else.


    Yan Su,

 Chapter 1414. Liuxi, Lets Be Happy Together from Now On

    Chapter 1414. Liuxi, Let''s Be Happy Together from Now On


    She felt a little speechless.


    She couldnt believe that anyone wouldpliment her on her subpar kissing techniques. After a brief silence, she finally managed to sputter, Who else have you kissed?


    Mo Liuxi said nothing.


    Is it An Ning? Yan Su felt less guilty all of a sudden as she pouted in a disgruntled manner. Or are there other women that Im not aware of?


    Mo Liuxi was at a loss for words. He didnt think too much before saying that, and he certainly didnt expect this woman to read too much into it.


    As a man, to protect his pride, there was no way he was going to let her know that she was his first kiss ever. He awkwardly tried to change the subject. I should be questioning you instead. Who did you hone those superb skills with? Shi Xiang?


    Superb skills


    Yan Su rolled her eyes at him. Do you really think that Im that great of a kisser? Cross your heart and swear by it.


    Cross your heart and swear that you didnt pick up your skills from Shi Xiang then, Mo Liuxi grunted coldly. When you kissed me, its as if someone had intoxicated me. I went all weak and I lost control of all of my senses.


    You might as well say that I poisoned you with my lips, Yan Su said grumpily. Stop bringing Shi Xiang into this. You knew that I dated him before. You, on the other hand, have never told me that youve dated other girls before. Are you hiding something from me? I never knew that you were so experienced in kissing girls. Anyway, I seriously doubt that that was your first time when we slept together. Do you have any proof to back yourself up? I bled that night  how are you going to prove your innocence?


    Mo Liuxi was frowning deeply now. He realized that Yan Su was getting better and better at bickering with him. She had dug a hole for him, and there was no escape now. Yan Su, youre being unreasonable.


    Then show me some evidence, Yan Su replied. Evidence that you lost your virginity to me.


    How am I supposed to do that? Mo Liuxi stared at the woman in front of him with frustration.


    It was usually the other way around  the man asking thedy to prove her chastity. He was the one in a pickle now. Men wont bleed.


    Yan Su nearly burst outughing as she watched him struggle with his words; she knew she was driving him crazy. She managed to hold herughter back and pretended like she was unfazed by what he was saying.


    The two of them were at a standoff for a while before Mo Liuxi finally admitted weakly, Alright actually that night, you were my first kiss ever.


    He continued to stare at her begrudgingly, I gave you my first kiss and my first night, but you wouldnt trust me and you cheapened all of it. Do you know why Im angry? Because this is not just emotional hurt  its physical as well.


    If you ask me why I said that youre a good kisser, its because Ive only ever been kissed by you and Ive never experienced anything quite like it before. Of course, I think that youre a great kisser.


    Are you happy with my answer now?


    An awkward silence filled the air.


    Yan Su felt bad.


    Anyone else would be upset too. That was really irresponsible of her.


    Yeah, dont get too worked up. Im sorry. Its my bad, really. I was just a little jealous earlier.


    I should be the one getting jealous, said Mo Liuxi as he bit on her ears gently.


    Im sorry. Yan Su felt her heart go warm and fuzzy, and she buried herself into his chest. Liuxi, lets be happy together from now on, shall we? Weve been through so much because of An Nings trickery. Her lies really made things so much more difficult than it has to be, am I right?

 Chapter 1415. For a Long Time Now

    Chapter 1415. For a Long Time Now


    Okay. Mo Liuxi nodded his head seriously as he held Yan Sus petite body tightly in his arms. Half a minuteter, he suddenly came to realize, Wait a minute, Yan Su, I remembering here to make you regret what you said.


    Really? Are you still bent on that? Yan Su looked up at him with her clear dark pupils, her eyes as pure as thekes in the mountains. Dont you feel as if someone had just lifted the fog from our eyes? To be honest, although I already patched things up with you before, I was still mindful of what happened between An Ning and you. You were also hesitant about the fact that I had a child with another man, werent you? Now that we know it was all a misunderstanding, I know that youve always loved me, and Ive always loved you back. When you told me about what happened, and I learned the truth, I was on cloud nine. Dont you feel the same way?


    Mo Liuxis jaw dropped.


    Of course, he did. He was more ted than anyone else. But when she decided to hide from him, his frustration took precedence over his joy and excitement.


    Now, after hearing her thoughts, Mo Liuxi felt relieved and content.


    Thank goodness it was Yan Su that night. Who knew that they already had such an affinity for each other since a long time ago?


    He was so foolish. The woman he had slept with was in front of him all along but he never realized it.


    Do you love me? Do you really love me? Mo Liuxi asked with hesitation.


    Ive loved you for a long time now. Yan Su lowered her head and buried her face in his chest.


    Mo Liuxi was smiling now and gave her a gentle peck on her forehead before bending down to find her lips.


    After kissing for a while, Jiaojiaos voice called out from outside. Susu, why did you lock the door? Youre going to be up on stage soon.


    Their lips parted and Yan Su panted, Alright, Iming out!


    She put on some lipstick before she went to unlock the door.


    Jiaojiaos eyes nearly popped out when she saw Mo Liuxi standing inside. Her first instinct was to look at Yan Sus clothes; they were still intact, with no signs of struggle. They were good to go. Good, good.


    Mo Liuxi noticed her expression and he smirked. Your assistant is as perverted as you.


    Yan Su was embarrassed, and Jiaojiao felt awkward. Well, I was just worried that you wouldnt be able to control yourself


    Alright, go ahead. Mo Liuxi sat down on the couch with his legs crossed. He wasnt feeling as riled up now; Yan Su had just confessed her feelings for him after all.


    Ill be backter. Yan Su smiled at him before leaving.


    She didnt do well this round. Her ranking wasnt ideal. She was voted number seven, just one rank above the bottom spot. Many people were shocked and surprised at the results but not Yan Su.


    When they finished up on stage, a young singer, Wu Yaoyu, came up to her and gave her some words of encouragement, Dont worry about it, there are always ups and downs in apetition. I think we all put in 100% this time, but you only showed us 60% of your potential.


    Its too stressful. Yan Su grimaced. I dont know how much longer I canst.


    Her older senior, Geng Lianughed. How will the rest of us feel if you find it stressful as well? Youve been doing so well before this  at least in the top three every week.


    Wu Yaoyu said, Ill be the youngest here without you. You have to hang in there and hold the fort for me.


    Yan Su gave him a polite smile.


    The group walked over to the lounge together. Leaning against Yan Sus door was a tall and handsome man. Mo Liuxi had his hands in his pocket, and he looked at them with his head slightly cocked to one side. His jawline was prominent, and his Adams apple looked sexy with the buttons of his shirt undone at the top. He looked dashing and charismatic.


    One of the female singers, Chen Qin, whispered, If Im not mistaken, that guy looks like the popr young director, Mo Liuxi. That young genius director.

 Chapter 1416. Susu and I Are Each Others Nemesis

    Chapter 1416. Susu and I Are Each Other''s Nemesis


    Youre right, it is him. What is he doing over here though? Wu Yaoyu asked curiously. Susu, you two know each other, dont you? I remember he tweeted something about bullying you often.


    Yan Sus heart was thumping loudly.


    What was he doing?


    Everyone thought that she was single, without a boyfriend.


    Yeah we do know each other


    Before Yan Su could finish, Mo Liuxi had already started making his way over to them. He stood in front of Yan Su and stroked her hair. Although your ranking is low this time, you just have to work a little harder next week. Dont be too disappointed, baby.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    Yan Sus head went nk all of a sudden, like aputer screen that had just hanged.


    What was he doing in front of so many people? Did he want everyone else to know about the two of them?


    Everyone else gasped. Wu Yaoyu finally said after a while, Susu, I thought you two were


    What? Mo Liuxi was grinning now, and he was looking Wu Yaoyu up and down. He noticed how close Wu Yaoyu was walking with Yan Su, and he had seen the two of them chatting all the way towards the lounge. He knew that Wu Yaoyu was one of the younger ones there so he added, Uncle Wu


    Uncle Wu


    Wu Yaoyu was bbergasted. Im only thirty-one years old.


    Did he have to address him as Uncle?


    Mo Liuxi shrugged. Im still studying. Youre my senior. Its only right that I address you as Uncle. What do you say, baby?


    He looked over at Yan Su with a gaze full of affection.


    Yan Su was speechless. She could only imagine the blow that was dealt to Wu Yaoyu. You can just call him brother. Thats how I address him as well.


    Alright, whatever you say then. Mo Liuxi pulled her towards him and put his arm around her snugly.


    Jiaojiao wanted to knock her head against the wall; there was no doubt that she had to deal with all of thister.


    Wu Yaoyu looked a little disappointed. He had thought of Yan Su as a very talented singer. He felt respect and admiration for her and even had some interest in her as a person. Too bad about her taste


    Chen Qin cleared her throat and said, You two I thought there were news articles saying that you two didnt get along? You ended up in the sea at Venice beach, didnt you? I get it now. Was it just a couples quarrel?


    Senior Chen, youre really sharp, Mo Liuxi chuckled slightly. Susu and I are each others nemesis. We used to study in the same university, and we would have yogurt drinks together every day. Thats around when we developed feelings for one another too.


    Campus couple then? Geng Lian smiled. Thats nice. Your little fans will be thrilled when they hear about your love story.


    Yan Su quickly said, Were not nning to go public yet.


    We understand, dont worry. We wont spill the beans, everyoneughed and joked around. Mo Liuxi had such a strong backing, no one dared to offend him. He had made a name for himself for beating up a singer backstage a while back; they finally understood why he did that.


    Well Susu are you still joining us for supperter tonight? Wu Yaoyu asked tentatively.


    She wont be joining you guys, Mo Liuxi answered on her behalf. I havent seen Susu in ages, we want to head back to the hotel early.


    Oh, I understand. Geng Lian gave him a cheeky smile.


    Yan Su wanted to hide her face. He was obviously suggesting something more scandalous, announcing it to everyone like that. She wished that he would leave her out when he does something so shameless.


    Lets go, Susu. Mo Liuxi pulled her into her lounge.


    Yan Su red at him. Who gave you permission to just drop the bomb on everyone like this?

 Chapter 1417. Director Mo Only Wants a Woman Called Yan Su

    Chapter 1417. Director Mo Only Wants a Woman Called Yan Su


    They wont dare let the cat out of the bag. After all, they know who I am, Mo Liuxi saidzily. Why do you want to hide me and our rtionship? Are you nning something with Wu Yaoyu?


    Yan Su looked at him, baffled by what he had just said. Can you have a little bit more faith in me? Are you going to get jealous of anyone that is decent looking?


    She was a little annoyed. Mo Liuxi was stunned, then said, Why are you getting so worked up? I should be the one feeling ufortable.


    Dont you remember the insults that you hurled at me in the past? You told me that I was dirty and cheap, and you asked me to strip in front of you so you could do a body check. Tears were welling up in her eyes. Some things cant be forgotten so easily. Ive never been more humiliated in my entire life.


    Well, I was it was because you spent the night with Shi Xiang. Mo Liuxis heart softened watching her on the verge of tears. He panicked and quickly said, All right, it was all my fault. I cared too much about you. I was just being a little jealous earlier on as well. I dont believe that you would have anything to do with that man. Wu Yaoyu is nowhere as talented or handsome as I am. You will have to be blind to choose him over me.


    Yan Su was nearly crying andughing at the same time.


    Mo Liuxi wrapped his arms around her tightly and rested his chin on her head. Im just worried that other men might fancy you too. Youre the most beautiful thing I everid eyes on, but I know that you only like me. Otherwise, you wouldnt bear me a child.


    Yan Su was a little embarrassed now; she held back her tears. Lets go back then. After all, were in public.


    Mo Liuxi nodded his head and started putting on his sweater. Lets go back, but you still owe me four days and four nights.


    Yan Su felt chills run down her spine. She thought she had heard him wrong. Four days and four nights?


    Yeah, too short for your liking? Mo Liuxi raised his brows as he teased her jovially.


    Yan Su really wanted to tease him back and ask if he would be able to handle four days and four nights. Did he really think he was an emperor? Could he really handle such an opulent, corrupt lifestyle?


    She decided against aggravating him. They could go backter and discuss the matter further.


    Mo Liuxi arrived at her apartment, which was about twenty minutes away from the recording studio. The apartment had two decent sized bedrooms.


    Now back to your new environment. Mo Liuxi inspected the area. No wonder I couldnt find you anywhere; you arent staying in a hotel.


    Yeah. Yan Su looked at him after pouring herself a ss of water. Liuxi, let me show you some photos of our daughter.


    Mo Liuxi was energized at her suggestion and scooted over to where she was sitting on the couch. He looked at the photos on her phone. She had pages of Yan Yans photos from when she was just born, pictures when she was crying, pictures when she wasughing and photos of her swimming.


    These are the photos that my mother took of her when she celebrated her hundred-day old birthday. I was busy then and I didnt have time to apany her, Yan Su said sadly. Im not a good mother.


    Mo Liuxi hugged her as he tried tofort her. I know youre working so hard so you can provide for our baby girl. Susu, you dont have to work so hard from now on. I can handle all of your expenses. I dont have much but I have money and resources.


    Yan Su burst into giggles as she turned to look at him. Arent you being a little too humble? I bet you had a lot of girls hot on your tail over these past 6 months.


    Director Mo only wants a woman called Yan Su. Mo Liuxi lifted her and put her on hisp as he gazed into her eyes lovingly. Can you feel it?

 Chapter 1418. You Must Be Thrilled

    Chapter 1418. You Must Be Thrilled


    How could she not feel what was beneath her butt?


    Yan Su felt like a roasted fish on a hot grill. There was a fire burning beneath her; she was hot all over but at the same time, anxious. The only time they did it was when they were both wasted and she was uninhibited. Now that they were both sober, she was a little nervous.


    Liuxi, do you know our daughters name? Yan Su tried to change the topic.


    I know, you mentioned  Yan Yan. Mo Liuxi raised his chin. Its a pretty name.


    But if we are going to change her name she will be called Mo Yan, Yan Su said with amusement and watched his reaction.


    It doesnt matter, she can have yourst name, answered Mo Liuxi in a split second.


    Yan Su blinked in disbelief. She couldnt believe that he agreed to it so easily. Most men out there would insist that the children take theirst name.


    Anyway this wont be only our child, right? Mo Liuxi inched towards her slowly with a mischievous look on his handsome face. He had managed to trap Yan Su between the coffee table and himself.


    Yan Su was burning hot all over as she looked into his intense gaze. You mean you want more kids?


    Not necessarily. It doesnt matter to me. One is good enough but Id be happy to have more children. I can afford it anyway. Mo Liuxi sounded rxed and confident. It depends on you. We are still young after all. You might want another a few years down the road.


    Who says that I want to have your children? Yan Su was embarrassed by the conversation that they were having  they werent even married yet, and there they were talking about the prospect of having a second child. She reached out to cover his mouth and she looked down bashfully.


    Mo Liuxi grinned and in one swift motion, scooped her up and walked towards the bedroom.


    Yan Su was shocked. She was frozen stiff.


    Are you a frozen fish? Mo Liuxi teased her after putting her on the bed gently. Where did all your bravado go from that night when you pounced on me?


    Yan Su was embarrassed. He knew that it would make her flustered. Well I was drunk that night. Liuxi, lets talk about this


    Hold up. Mo Liuxi was on top of her and propped himself up on his hands. Susu, theres no way Im letting you off easy tonight. Ive waited too long for this, and I had a hard time finding you. You were way too harsh and hurtful over the phone thest time and you hurt my pride. I swore that I was going to prove myself to you.


    Alright. Yan Su nodded her head. She had no choice but to submit to him. I think we can talk about the duration a little more. It doesnt have to be four days and four nights, right? Look, I was ranked seventh this round. I have to work hard for thepetition, or else I will be eliminated for sure.


    Susu Mo Liuxi looked at her intently. Under those circumstances, you blurted that out without even thinking twice. It goes to show that you dont think much of my stamina at all, so I have to prove myself to you. I think its okay if you dont win thispetition. You have to take responsibility for your words. Im telling you, theres no escaping four days and four nights.


    Yan Su was silent.


    Yan Su regretted her words. She wanted to bite her tongue off. She practically dug a hole for herself. Alright, letspromise. Ill make it up to you after thepetition  four days and four nights. You know what, Ill throw in another day as a bonus.


    You want to spend five days and five nights together? Mo Liuxi tried to control hisposure. For some reason, his legs went a little shaky.


    Yeah, what do you think? You must be thrilled. Yan Su blinked her eyes innocently.


    Mo Liuxi kept quiet.

 Chapter 1419. - He Had Waited for This Moment for a Long Time

    Chapter 1419. - He Had Waited for This Moment for a Long Time


    He didnt realize how wild Yan Su was.


    Was she finally liberated?


    Four days and four nights might be his limit. Five days? He might end up paralyzed after that.


    Why arent you saying anything? Yan Su asked innocently. One day extra is too little for you? Do you want one more? Make it six?


    Mo Liuxi was at a loss of what to say. No, Im just worried that your body might not be able to handle it are you sure you want to be so intense?


    I dont want to either. Yan Su sighed helplessly. But when I think about it, four and six days are almost the same.


    Mo Liuxi froze. How could it be the same? There was a major difference. I think we should just do it today. Get it over and done withspontaneity right?


    Liuxi, are you intimidated? Yan Su poked his chest as sheughed. Are you worried that you wont be able tost six days? Is that the reason for your hesitance?


    Who says? Mo Liuxi widened his eyes indignantly.


    Oh really? Yan Su had a skeptical expression on her face.


    With his pride on the line, Mo Liuxi had to promise her in the end, saying, Since you offered, Illpromise, but we dont have to do it for six days. Im concerned about your body.


    Liuxi, youre the best. Yan Su wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him.


    Mo Liuxi was extremely frazzled. He didnt know how hardcore Yan Su was. Did he release the beast within her? No, he better not say anything so hasty in the future. He decided he would never bring up five or six days in the future. If he was held against his words, he might not survive the ordeal. If he was being honest, he might not evenst four days. He had never practiced other than that night they spent together.


    Liuxi, youre not focusing. Yan Su saw his perplexed expression through her half-closed eyes. She tried hard not to giggle as she held his handsome face in her hands.


    No Mo Liuxi collected his thoughts. No matter what, he had waited for this moment for a long time.


    Susu Mo Liuxi mumbled under his breath before he nted a passionate kiss on her lips.


    God knows how long he had waited for this moment. He had always held himself back thinking that it was her first time. He didnt want to be hasty and he wanted to cherish their first time together. He only just realized that it was her all along by his side, even on that dreadful night that he didnt wish to remember.


    He was not only attracted to her personality, but he was also smitten with her body long ago.


    He wasnt an easy guy that was easily seduced by any random stranger. All of this happened because it was Yan Su that night.


    At that moment as he was thinking about what happened that night, he was re-experiencing her smell, her moans, and her fingers


    Yan Su was almost paralyzed by the intensity of his kiss. Mo Liuxi was even more passionate and wild than the night they spent together.


    He then tore her clothes off of her.


    When he tried to remove his shirt, he popped the buttons off violently.


    In their moment of passion, Yan Su said hazily, Right, there are no condoms at


    I thought you loved collecting those things. Dont you have some at home? Mo Liuxi asked between his urgent pants.


    Yan Su was blushing and she bit her lip without answering him. Mo Liuxi chuckled lowly and he picked up his pants from the floor and retrieved several boxes of condoms. Silly bean, Im well prepared. Dont worry, I wont impregnate you without your permission again.


    Luixi Yan Su was deeply touched by his words.

 Chapter 1420. He Was Not a Mule

    Chapter 1420. He Was Not a Mule


    Be good. Do you want to be on top or at the bottom? You can take your pick. Mo Liuxis voice was sexy and seductive.


    Yan Su,


    She didnt know how to reply to him.


    Im taking it as you want it both ways if youre not going to say anything. Mo Liuxi lowered his head and kissed her lips.


    Yan Su widened her eyes, I


    Mo Liuxi had stered his lips tightly against hers now. There was no way for her to protest.


    Mo Liuxi was going all out that night; he was wild and passionate. That first night together, she was heavily intoxicated and the images were blurry. Tonight, she would remember everything clearly.


    Yan Sus toes were curled up and she was feeling shy. Her skin was glowing with a slightly pink hue. Mo Liuxi wasvishing her with hot kisses, trailing her skin. She couldnt help but moan with encouragement.


    Mo Liuxi focused on her expression; she was on the verge of losing control. They had been intimate in the past but it was nothingpared to this. He was really missing out on so much. All those moments in the past were like the appetizers before the main dish.


    Mo Liuxi was determined not to let Yan Su belittle his abilities. He was nning to make her beg and he would prove his skills to her that night.


    Yan Sus body was weak as he tortured her and kept her from her sweet release. No matter how much sheined about how tired she was, Mo Liuxi ignored her pleas and carried on. When her voice finally went hoarse, he began round two.


    Yan Su looked at how zealous he was and decided to let him do whatever he pleased. She knew that he was trying to prove a point because of what she said earlier on. She would go all out with him then.


    She didnt have to do much anyway. She could just lie there and enjoy the process. It was a long haul but she had plenty of stamina. She spent all her mornings and nights training and dancing.


    She was enjoying herself at the beginning but when the hours dragged on, she couldnt take it anymore and fell asleep on the bed.


    Mo Liuxi was trying his hardest when he realized that she had fallen asleep.


    He was so angry that he didnt know what to say.


    He tried to keep count but he failed. His own memory was getting hazy and he didnt know how many times they had done it. He was nning to hold the fortress till dawn and make her beg for him to stop.


    The woman lying in front of him was as stubborn as a mule even though she looked demure and delicate. Apart from saying no the first few times, she didnt mention it again.


    If she had begged one more time, he would have gratefully spared her and himself.


    He waspletely devastated now. Were his skills so lousy?


    Yan Su, wake up. Mo Liuxi rubbed her cheeks urgently with frustration. She had makeup on before and the two of them had jumped into the bed without taking a shower first. In addition to the fact that she had just cried, she looked like a giant panda now.


    Be quiet Yan Su mumbled and swatted his hand away. Go at it yourself.


    What did she mean by go at it himself? He was not a mule.


    Mo Liuxi was furious. He had no choice but to stop since she wasnt cooperating at all, and he was getting tired as well. He decided that he would wake up early the next morning and continue.


    The next day, sunlight streamed into the room and cast itself on the wooden nks.


    Yan Su was awakened by her rm. She stirred from her sleep and opened her eyes to see a man lying next to her. He was sharing the same pillow and he was in deep sleep. His features were perfect; he had plump lips and a defined jaw. He was frowning slightly at the sound of the rm.


    Yan Su was a little stunned to see him lying next to her. She struggled to grab a jacket and put it over herself and then dragged her sore body to sit up. She walked to the balcony and picked up her phone. Hello, Sister Xiang

 Chapter 1421. Yan Su, Are You Even a Woman?

    Chapter 1421. Yan Su, Are You Even a Woman?


    Why are you still sleeping? Its sote. Xiang Wan could tell that she had just woken up from the hoarseness of her voice. Its already 11:00 a.m.


    Sote, Yan Su muttered after a moment. She thought that it was still 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. She remembered how she fell asleep the night before. She wondered when Mo Liuxi decided to call it quits.


    Yeah. Did you lose sleepst night because of thepetition results? Xiang Wan said empathetically. Its all right, youve just got to adjust your mood. However, the television station told me that its going to be tough for you to win first ce or even make it to runner up. There are only a few episodes left, so its not a big deal if you get eliminated.


    I didnt expect anything more. Its all right. Yan Su rubbed her temples. There were rules in every industry.


    I know you want to go home and be with your child over Chinese New Year, so I tried my best to keep your schedule free, Xiang Wan said.


    Thank you, Sister Xiang. Yan Su was grateful.


    Take it easy and dont get into any scandals, okay? Xiang Wan warned her before hanging up.


    Yan Su looked at the man in her bedroom. She tiptoed over and wondered how many times he came the night before. There was a big pile of tissue paper beside the wastepaper basket, and there was a weird musty smell in the room.


    She used a broom and swept the room briefly before she opened the windows. It was already 11:30 a.m., and she hadnt had any food yet. Her stomach was grumbling in protest.


    Although she was still tired and sleepy, she decided to put herself together and cook lunch with the ingredients in her fridge.


    As Mo Liuxi started stirring from his sleep, he caught the smell of delicious food wafting through the apartment. His stomach was growling as he opened eyes and stretched his arms. The woman beside him was long gone.


    He sat up quickly and his expression was dark. She had gotten up earlier than him again.


    Was she the one cooking in the kitchen right now?


    He put on some pants and walked over to the kitchen. At the doorway to the kitchen, he saw Yan Su boiling soup with an apron around her.


    The magnificent smell of breakfast filled up the ce, and he started drooling at the thought of tasting her food again after so long. At the same time, he was shocked at the amount of energy she had. After all that went down the night before, he couldnt believe that she could still wake up and cook for them.


    Mo Liuxis face was dark as he stood behind her. Yan Su, are you even a woman?


    Yan Su was tasting the soup and deciding whether she should add more salt to her dish when he caught her by surprise. Her hands trembled as she spilled the soup in thedle onto the countertop.


    She turned around in frustration to meet the gaze of Mo Liuxi. His expression was hard to read, but he looked handsome as always. Can you not sneak up on me like that? You really scared me.


    Mo Liuxi was silent as he stared at her with his lips pursed.


    With her stamina, he would be the one who would die of exhaustion if they really did it for four days and four nights.


    Oh right. She had told him to carry on without her the previous night. In her eyes, she might only see him as a stubborn mule.


    Arent you aching? Mo Liuxi looked at her thighs.


    Yan Su knew what he was referring to. She shook her head as her cheeks flushed. Not really.


    Mo Liuxi was silent.


    She wasnt even sore from their intense exercisest night. There were no words to describe how he was feeling at that moment.


    Yan Su tried to exin to him. I do dance practices all the time. Ive learned all sorts of difficult dances before, and there was one time I practiced all day and all night for an entire month to nail the routine. I had to do splits and leg raises, and it used to hurt a lot. It hurt so much that I couldnt walk properly. Now that Im used to it, its a piece of cake for me.


    Youre a singer Why do you have to train so hard at dancing? Mo Liuxi said.


    I have no choice. I have to record albums and do tours.

 Chapter 1422. Hiding Her Immense Power and Strength

    Chapter 1422. Hiding Her Immense Power and Strength


    After that, Yan Su turned to te the food. She made some fragrant, mouth-watering, fried, spicy chicken and Mo Liuxi looked at the dish with mixed feelings. Look at how strong she was. She could do all of that and then wake up to make spicy chicken.


    She had a petite frame and such a gentle and delicate face. It was all hiding her immense power and strength. No wonder she could offer to give him an extra day.


    If he decided to y this game with her, he would most definitely burn out first. She would probably wake up the next day and make him porridge.


    Whats the matter? Yan Su chuckled with embarrassment when he continued to stare at her without saying a word. She was a little shy after having spent the night together.


    Yan Su, you arent you tired at all? Mo Liuxi sighed softly.


    Im tired and sleepy of course, but Im hungry too. Plus, I thought that you might be hungry. Yan Su spoke softly at the end.


    Mo Liuxi could tell that she was being careful with her words and he asked, What do you mean? Do you think that I have weak stamina and I would be tired and hungry when I woke up?


    No, thats not what I meant. Yan Su could tell that he was getting upset and she knew what he was upset over when she remembered what she had said to him a few days ago. She sighed and said, I couldnt take it and I was so tiredst night that I fell asleep. Of course, you have good stamina. Im really impressed by your performance.


    At the mention of this, Mo Liuxi was even more frustrated and said grumpily, Is my technique really that bad that you were able to fall asleep?


    Yan Su ignored him and started rinsing a pan to fry some vegetables.


    Yan Su, make yourself clear now. Mo Liuxi chased after her and grabbed the pan from her.


    His pride was severely hurt.


    Liuxi, dont you think youre being a little dense? Yan Su looked up at him. She wasnt able to look him in the eye like after their intimate moment from the night before. She would blush every time she looked at him now. Couldnt you tellst night?


    Mo Liuxi was frowning and silent now. All he could think about was when she fell asleep.


    It was sotest night and I was exhausted. Of course, I fell asleep. I havent been able to rest well for a week while in preparation for thepetition, I was absolutely drained. I cant believe youre pushing me for answers now. I dont think it really matters what happened in the end, as long as the process isnt it good enough that we both had a good time? Yan Su tossed him the spat and said, Im not cooking anymore. You can cook yourself.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned as he looked at the spat before he quickly turned and pulled her back into his arms. He nibbled on her ear and said, I remember now. Last night you came quite a few times.


    Stop talking about it. Yan Su punched him lightly before making her escape.


    Mo Liuxiughed as she ran away before he turned to fry up some vegetables for them.


    They only had two dishes for lunch that day; they sat shoulder to shoulder, close to one another. Mo Liuxi would often look up to stare at Yan Su as he was eating, making Yan Su feel awkward. Its not the weekend yet. Dont you have sses today?


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. Now that you mention it, I havent been to school for a while now and I havent applied for any leave.


    Yan Su rolled her eyes at him. Youre already in year 3. Can you take school more seriously? What if your professor denies you, your degree? When Yan Yan grows up, she wont be proud of her father who couldnt evenplete his college education.


    Hey now. Mo Liuxi looked over at her coldly. Dont worry. I will most definitely graduate. If you can do it, I can do it.

 Chapter 1423. Susu My Baby

    Chapter 1423. Susu My Baby


    Hey, now. Mo Liuxi looked over coldly. Dont worry, I will most definitely graduate if even someone like you can.


    What do you mean by that? Come on, I had ster results when I was in college Yan Su couldnt help but grumble.


    Mo Liuxi grinned. I was invited by your university to study there  Im not your average student.


    Yan Su said nothing.


    Be good, eat up. Mo Liuxi put some food in her bowl. Lets get married next year when youre not busy.


    Yan Su nearly choked on her food, spitting it all out on the table.


    Yan Su, dont be gross, Mo Liuxi said as he wiped his face that was speckled with rice grains.


    Stop scaring me! Why would you say things like that without any warning? Yan Su quickly gulped down a ss of water to calm herself. Why do you want to get married all of a sudden?


    We already have a child together. Of course, were getting married, Mo Liuxi said matter-of-factly. Firstly, I have to take responsibility for you and our child. Secondly, I truly love you. Besides, if we head over to your parents ce on Chinese New Year and break the news that I am Yan Yans father without any talk of marriage, your parents will think terribly of me. Id be thankful enough if they dont beat me up and throw me out of the house.


    Although he only talked to her mother briefly, he already knew that her parents might be difficult to deal with, judging by how Yan Jin acted.


    Yan Su was quiet. What he said made sense. Especially her dad  he might skin Mo Liuxi alive.


    Its decided then. We shall get married next year. Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows. Ill bring you to meet my family too. They will be thoroughly shocked.


    Yan Su covered her face with her rice bowl. She was too ashamed to see Luosang. She said, Lets not be too hasty. I dont want our marriage to be built upon the fact that we have a child together. I want us to genuinely love each other and want to be with one another. I want us to be thoroughlypatible.


    We tick all the checkboxes, Mo Liuxi said confidently.


    Do we? Yan Su asked him. Liuxi, I thought that we werepatible when dated in the past but when we started fighting, I came to realize that we dont know each other well enough. Theres still a lot to learn and a lot of rough edges to smooth out. Especially yourmunication  you are too mean sometimes.


    I love you too much, thats why. Mo Liuxi frowned. You didnt tell me the truth when you were pregnant with my child. Of course, I was mad. I wanted to strangle you to death. When we met in Venice, I still hadnt moved on yet. If I really did, I wouldve acted indifferently towards you.


    How can I be sure that what youre saying is true? Lets just take things slow and see how it goes. Were both still young anyway. Yan Su lowered her head and ate.


    Yan Su, are you going to put on your clothes and act like you dont know me again? Mo Liuxi smirked.


    Well I put on my clothes and made lunch for you, didnt I? Yan Su put some chicken into his bowl. Whats the rush anyway? Im yours already.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. He was moved by what she had just said.


    She was right. Things were different now. She was his woman, his significant other now.


    After lunch, Mo Liuxi washed the dishes and carried her to the bed to rest. Susu my baby, will you stay with me today and not go to the studio?


    Yan Su looked up to meet his gentle, warm gaze. He was showing his puppy eyes now and she thought about how scary it was that men could change so quickly. He was so mean to her just a while ago. I wasnt nning on going. Ill apany you for two days.


    Mo Liuxi was thrilled. It was a happiness that came unexpectedly. He thought they only had one day together. Two days she said. What a treat! He asked her, Is it going to affect yourpetition?


    Yan Su sighed. Ive ranked seventh I should spend some time adjusting my state of mind and I need to take a break anyway. If I really end up losing, then so be it.


    Dont worry, you still have me even if you lose. Mo Liuxi pulled her close to his chest. Im so bored. Shall we do something?

 Chapter 1424. Christmas Present

    Chapter 1424. Christmas Present


    Yan Su fell silent.


    She wasnt sure what he was referring to until Mo Liuxi started kissing her and peeling her shirt off. She pushed against his arms and asked, DIdnt we just do itst night?


    Yeah, I finally found something in this world thats tastier than food. Mo Liuxis eyes were twinkling with excitement.


    Yan Su was about to cry out loud. Why did she ever doubt his stamina? It was obvious that both his stamina and libido were shockingly impressive.


    She couldnt hold him back and gave up trying. She decided to relent and let him do as he pleased since it would be Christmas the next time they met again.


    Thinking about Christmas Day, she was reminded that it was the day that they broke up. A year had gone by just like that.


    How dare you zone out! Mo Liuxi looked up as if someone had just doused a bucket of ice water on him.


    No, Im just thinking about Christmas Yan Su quickly exined.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. Im trying my best to please you here. Why are you thinking about Christmas?


    Yan Su kept quiet.


    Yan Su was nervous. It seemed as though she was being inconsiderate. Because we broke up on Christmas Day, dont you remember?


    Mo Liuxi was silent. It was supposed to be a day filled with wonderful memories back then. In the end, it turned out to be one of his worst memories. He said, Its ok, I will make it up to you this Christmas. Its going to be the day of our movie premiere as well  there will be a screening event in Guangzhou. Ill make sure you receive the gift that I couldnt give youst year.


    Yan Su was shocked. You prepared a gift for mest year?


    Of course, Mo Liuxi grunted softly.


    What was it?


    Im not telling you.


    Yan Su sighed. Actually, I prepared a gift for you too its just that we got into a fight before I had the chance to show you.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. His heart ached at the thought of that night. In hindsight, it was a shame that they had to end up that way. We missed out on so many opportunities to be with each other. Lets not have any more regrets.


    Mo Liuxi pounced on her and after a while, he carried Yan Su onto hisp as she straddled him. I think you should go for it first since your legs are so strong. Lets not waste your talent. I need to conserve my energy for round two.


    Yan Su was silent.


    They spent those two days together in the apartment. Mo Liuxi felt as if time had flown by when they were together, and it was time to say goodbye again.


    He now understood Nian Juntings reluctance to go on business trips and his eagerness to go home every day.


    His sister alwaysined of being sore and tired, but Yan Su


    Mo Liuxi looked at how straight she was standing with a big guitar strapped to her back


    He was extremely conflicted when he watched her. He realized that he knew very little about Yan Su after all, looking at how energetic she was. She could still go off to the music studio and prepare for herpetition. She even had ns of ying the instrument herself when she was to sing in the next round.


    He realized that, in this lifetime, it would be unlikely for him to conquer her in bed unless she surrendered herself first.


    Susu, Im leaving now. Dont tire yourself out too much, Mo Liuxi reminded her before he left.


    Hmm, Im ok. Yan Su smiled at him. You do the same. Go back and study well in school  stop ying hooky.


    Mmm, bye bye my baby. Mo Liuxi bent down to kiss her on her lips before he walked out of the building to g a cab.


    They parted ways.


    Back in Xia City, Mo Liuxi headed straight for Nian Juntings office. Give me the keys to the apartment where my sister and Yan Su used to stay. I need to get something.


    You referring to this? Nian Junting pulled out a CD from his drawer and handed it over to him.

 Chapter 1425. I Have a Daughter

    Chapter 1425. I Have a Daughter


    Mo Liuxi widened his eyes in disbelief and picked up the CD. It was exactly the one that he was referring to. How did you find this?


    Nian Junting crossed his legs and chuckled. I found it when I asked someone to clean the apartment. You really hid it well, didnt you? Youre quite creative with your gifts. Too bad you didnt manage to give it awayst year. Are you going to give it to her this Christmas?


    You watched it? Mo Liuxi cheeks were burning with embarrassment now. Who said you could do that?


    Haha! Nian Junting crossed his arms. I thought it was a homemade music video that your sister and Yan Su made together. I heard that the more innocent a girl looks on the surface, the kinkier they are in private  like your sister. I didnt expect it to be


    Nian Junting shuddered a little and continued. I never took you for such a mushy sweet guy. You always put up such an icy cold front after all. I may have misjudged you.


    Dont act as if you dont get all lovey-dovey with my sister in private! Mo Liuxi red at him. It doesnt matter how mean or cold I usually am. Its only right to save my sweet and romantic side for my girlfriend in private.


    It seems like your sister doesnt have to worry about you finding a girlfriend after all. You do know the important parts. Nian Junting smiled knowingly. Take it easy though  dont end up being a dad before you even graduate from college.


    Mo Liuxi was grinning when he heard him say that.


    Why are you smiling? Nian Junting was unsettled when he saw Mo Liuxi grinning away. Dont tell me youve already done it? You cant be that fast.


    Save it. Since Ill be telling the family sooner orter, Ill give you a heads up. Mo Liuxi sounded pleased with himself. I have a daughter.


    An awkward silence filled the air.


    Nian Juntings eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stared at Mo Liuxi as if he were a mad man. Are you delusional or something?


    Mo Liuxi sat down on the leather chair opposite him. Its true. When we broke upst year, Yan Su was already pregnant with my child. She is about five months old now.


    The office was dead silent for a while as Nian Junting blinked his eyes and recollected his thoughts. Finally, he said, Are you sure about this? Although she is Luosangs friend, you can never tell. Are you sure the kid is yours?


    Of course. The child looks just like me  its the only proof I need! Mo Liuxi unlocked his phone and showed him a few photos of Yan Yan.


    Nian Junting looked at the photos closely. The baby in the photos was wearing a pink knitted hat. Although it was difficult to tell if it was a baby boy or baby girl, he had to admit that the baby resembled Mo Liuxi. The baby even resembled Little Apple!


    It was hard to deny things like gic inheritance.


    He had mixed feelings about the whole issue. He felt as if he had just swallowed a bottle of peppers.


    Mo Liuxi was only twenty-two years old that year.


    What was he doing when he was twenty-two? He was at the lowest point in his career and life. He was a little virgin boy who had just broken up with his girlfriend. Compare that with Mo Liuxi  he was at his peak at the young age of twenty-two. Mo Liuxi was even a dad now when he had just joined the dad club the year before. He had a son while Mo Liuxi had a baby princess that he wanted so badly.


    The world was so unfair. How could he lose out to a little kid like Mo Liuxi? He was so perfect and handsome as well.


    You dont have to look so envious of me, Mo Liuxi said cheerily.


    Who says Im jealous? Nian Junting scowled. Its just a baby girl. Shes wont nearly be as interesting as my Little Apple! I can squeeze and pinch him however I like. Oh right, does your daughter know that she has a father? What else have you done for her other than donating your sperm?

 Chapter 1426. Not as Lucky as Mo Liuxi to Have a Daughter

    Chapter 1426. Not as Lucky as Mo Liuxi to Have a Daughter


    Its alright, I will have plenty of chances to contribute to her future. Mo Liuxi was struck by his sudden remark, but he could sense that his words were spoken out of jealousy and envy. You wouldnt understand what it feels like to have a daughter as your firstborn you might never know. I have to thank Yan Su for that. I will be good to her for the rest of her life.


    Nian Junting gave him an umitted smile as they held each others gaze. Mo Liuxis mere presence bothered and annoyed him. Why? Are you nning to get married this year? Have you graduated yet?


    Not yet, but Im of legal age to marry. I must get married next year. Ill be paying a visit to my inws during Chinese New Year. Anyway, do you have any tips on how to butter up the inws? Mo Liuxi asked with excitement. I remember you managed to please my mom quite easily back then.


    Kid, you wanna be like me? Nian Junting looked at him with his deep soulful eyes. I was mature, down to earth, and sessful. I went through all sorts of things with Luosang. What have you done with Yan Su? What have you done for her, to be exact? You donated your sperm and got her pregnant, and they had no clue of your existence the entire time. When you finally appear before them, theyll have to face the fact that youre younger than Yan Su  a kid, far from maturity and adulthood. If I were Yan Sus parents, I would strangle you to death.


    Mo Liuxi kept quiet.


    Nian Junting looked at his grim expression and leaned further into his chair. His mood was somehow lifted. Are you done? You can leave with your CD then. I still have work to do.


    Im on my way out  not sticking around with someone so hostile towards me, Mo Liuxi smirked as he stood up. Oh right, please dont tell my family about this yet. I dont want to shock them. Im nning on bringing Yan Yan out after winning over Yan Sus familys approval. If my parents know about Yan Yan, they will most certainly be anxious to see her. I dont want them to cause too much distress to Yan Sus parents.


    Nian Junting looked at him coldly and pursed his lips.


    When Mo Liuxi had finally left, Nian Junting stood up and ruffled his hair forcefully with his two hands.


    Did God open one door only to shut another on him?


    Was he not as lucky as Mo Liuxi to have a daughter because he was too perfect and outstanding?


    Tingting, why did I bump into Mo Liuxi on my way in here? What is he doing here? Xiao Si walked into the room with a grumpy expression. That brat the more I look at him, the more annoyed I get. Look at that face  what good is it for a boy to be so handsome? Hes got a pretty nasty personality too.


    Youre right. Nian Junting turned and echoed his friends thoughts. He does get on my nerves too.


    You think so too, right? Xiao Si sighed. Hes the reason why I havent patched things up with Nuannuan till now. I feel like Im about to be a monk in the temple  a vegetarian.


    Nian Junting burst intoughter. Dont insult the monks, they wouldnt read the books that you did. They have a clean state of mind.


    Xiao Si fell silent.


    The world was full of antagonism.


    Some time had passed since then.


    In the afternoon, back in the recording studio, Luosang picked up her phone during her break. She saw eight missed calls from Nian Junting.


    He hadnt been so crazy for a while. Luosang called him back almost immediately. Junting, is it something important?


    Lets go on a date today  have dinner outside, Nian Junting said. Im a little tired of Sister Lans cooking.

 Chapter 1427. Time Alone Together

    Chapter 1427. Time Alone Together


    Luosang reminded him gently, I do recall youplimenting Sister Lan on her chicken stewst night. You even had two bowls of rice to go along with it.


    I might have eaten too much yesterday. I feel a little sick of the food. Nian Junting wondered why his woman was being so dense  wasnt it obvious that he was just looking for an excuse to go on a date with her?


    I thought you dont usually enjoy eating out? And you alwaysin about the cleanliness of a restaurant. Luosang sighed. Tell me the truth, what are you up to this time?


    I just wanted to go on a date with you you know, enjoy our time alone together, Nian Junting said casually. Theres a lot of bad stuff in the food outside but lets go for some Japanese food. Fresh seafood shipped straight from the country itself. Its not too oily either. We wont run into problems with food safety, especially with all that sewage oil being used out there.


    Luosang kept quiet.


    She sighed. He was going all out just to have a meal outside.


    Some time had passed since then.


    At six-twenty, Nian Junting drove his jeep over as he waited for her. When Luosang got into the car, he pulled out arge bouquet of white roses from the back of his seat. Luoluo, this is for you and this ne too.


    Thank you. Luosang was stunned. He hadnt been so romantic for a long time. Why did you get me this today all of a sudden?


    Nian Junting held her hands and said gently to her, Youve been working and looking after our child at the same time. I just feel like I should treat you well since youve been working so hard.


    Hubby Luosang was moved by his words and she inched forward to kiss him on the lips. Thank you. I love you. I like this very much.


    Im d youre happy. Nian Junting was smiling as he started the car.


    They made their way to the restaurant.


    They were dining at a Japanese restaurant that they frequented in the past. The restaurants owner was one of Nian Juntings friends. The food was expensive, mainly because the ingredients were freshly flown in.


    The food tasted good, and Luosang didnt mind the fact that Nian Junting only ate at Japanese restaurants whenever they dined out.


    Nian Junting was especially sweet to her that night  he was shelling the crabs for her, passing her napkin, and pouring her water. After dinner, they went to catch a movie of Luosangs liking at the movie theater.


    Luosang was touched by his gestures, but she was not to be taken for a fool. She knew that he had other designs on his mind when he was treating her so well. It was probably because she was spending so much time with their child and work that he must have felt neglected at home. She would have to spend some time with him that night. On their way home, she gently reminded him, I think we ran out of condoms at home


    Nian Junting frowned. Forget about it then, since weve run out.


    Luosang was perplexed.


    She hadnt caught his drift yet.


    Nian Junting finally said, Little Apple is about one year old now. Its alright for us to start thinking about a second child, right?


    The car fell silent all of a sudden. Luosang pursed her lips without saying a word. Her silence was making him uneasy. Luoluo, if we start working at it now, we might have a beautiful baby princess by next year


    Enough, Nian Junting! Luosang interrupted him. Thats the real reason why you gave me flowers and that ne, am I right?


    Nian Junting was sheepish. He was unsettled by the fact that she had called him by his full name. Calm down, I was just putting it out there.


    Have you forgotten what you told me before? Luosang was disappointed. You promised me that I can decide how many kids to have and that I can continue working after being a mother. You made it all sound so grand before we got married. Look at you now  weve only just had a kid and you want me to have another? Im not your baby machine!

 Chapter 1428. Im Really Anxious

    Chapter 1428. I''m Really Anxious


    Im not taking you for a machine, Nian Junting exined hurriedly. I swear, I just I would love a baby girl


    He couldnt tell her the fact that her brother-inw had a baby daughter and that he was envious of him.


    I know you like girls, but what if we get another boy? Luosang asked him. Are you going to keep trying until we get a girl?


    Other people were trying their best to have a boy to carry on the family name, but it was the opposite for him. He wouldnt stop going on about having a girl, and Luosang was at a loss of words say to him. Did he consider what he had promised her before? Had he considered things from her perspective?


    I wont Nian Junting exined. I dont take you for a baby machine.


    Luosang rubbed her temples and grimaced. Junting, can you please put yourself in my shoes? I gave birth to a child before I even graduated from college. So many of my ssmates went on to find a job when they graduated. While they were fighting hard for their careers, I was busy having a baby. Now that I finally have time for myself again, the world has changed drastically in just one and a half years. My ssmates who werent doing as well as me in school are all at the peak of their careers. Im starting from zero and Im finally getting back into the groove of things. How could you ask me to go home and have another baby with you? Yes, you are a man with a remarkable career  of course, it doesnt matter to you. All you need to do is donate a sperm. What about me? I feel like such a failure. I have nothing going for me besides my marriage.


    Nian Junting was stunned. He could sense the frustration in her tone. He replied after a long pause, You want to do voice acting, dont you? I can pull some strings


    If I dont have the experience and I stillpete for those jobs, what will others think of me? Luosang interrupted, clearly irritated. When Ie back after having another baby, do you think there will still be room for me in this industry? Everyone is moving forward every single day. Dont tell me things like you have money and you will support me for the rest of my life. I want to have a career that I can be proud of.


    In this day and age, the moment a woman bes a full-time housewife, she can only rely on her man for the rest of her life. It wasnt an issue of trust  she trusted Nian Junting to take care of her, but a man might start to find his wife boring and dry. Who could guarantee what would happen in the future anyway? They had a lifetime ahead of them.


    I thought you understood me, Luosang continued. Why must we have a second child now? Cant we talk about this a few years down the road? Is it going to be a constant thorn in your side if I dont give you a baby girl?


    Luoluo, dont say that. Nian Junting didnt expect her to object so violently. Lets forget about it if you dont want to have children now. Theres no need to get so worked up alright?


    Well I had my eyes on a project a few days ago. I really liked the character and I auditioned for it, but I was eliminated during the tryouts. Luosang looked dejected. I feel so out of touching back to work after having a child. I need to learn everything all over again. My memory is not the same as it used to be either  I could memorize my lines after only reading it once back then. Im really anxious about my performance.


    Nian Junting stopped the car and held her hands. You didnt tell me about this.


    What good would that do? Its my problem. My skills are in question here. All I can do is work harder and better myself, Luosang said saltily. Besides, its really tiring to be pregnant for nine months.


    Sorry. Nian Junting thought about that day when she gave birth. Her body coiled up, her face pale, and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

 Chapter 1429. He Hated Mo Liuxi, That Little Brat

    Chapter 1429. He Hated Mo Liuxi, That Little Brat


    Come to think of it, our Little Apple is pretty adorable too, Nian Junting remarked. If you dont look at the parts down there, you cant even tell if hes a girl or boy.


    Luosang kept quiet.


    Was he really using that tofort himself? Hearing him say that, she felt bad for Little Apple.


    Thank you, Junting. Luosang lowered her head and stared at herp. I mightve been a little stressed out recently, which is why I got a little worked up. Anyway, I dont think Id want a second child right now maybe after things are stable with my career. Also, I dont want you to be so obsessed about having a daughter  just take things easy. I promise you that were going to have a daughter the next time Im pregnant. Sometimes, the more you want something, the less likely youre going to get it.


    Nian Junting was silent for a while. She made a lot of sense. Just like with Little Apple  he was so certain that he was going to have a baby girl back then.


    Mo Liuxi on the other hand probably didnt even expect to be a dad  and yet he did.


    Forget it. There was no way he could bend the will of the gods. It would be better to just take things as they came along.


    Whats with the silence? Are you thinking about finding another woman to have children with? Luosang looked over at him harshly. Mr. Nian, Im sure you have plenty of suitors, dont you? There must be a long line of women begging to have your children to give you a baby girl.


    Nian Junting straightened his back immediately and he said casually, Have you forgotten? I still havent recovered yet.


    Luosang was stunned. She almost forgot about that since he was so energetic around her all the time. You can opt for artificial methods in-vitro fertilization, maybe?


    Luoluo, cut it out, will you? Do you think I am that kind of man? Nian Junting said grumpily. Im going to get mad for real if you continue.


    Luosang stuck out her tongue at him. She shouldnt push any more of his buttons  he did justpromise after all. She said, Its true, my husband is so wonderful. He doesnt drink or smoke and hees home right after work every day to spend time with me. He doesnt go out to entertain clients or friends. I hope you keep up the good work!


    Nian Junting was pleased with all thepliments and reassurances he was receiving. Since you dont want to have more children just yet, Ill go get condoms for tonight. I should get a few extra.


    Sure, but I dont think well be using them tonight. I dont feel like it anymore. Luosang sighed, I should work harder and read my script at home.


    She fell silent.


    Nian Junting widened his eyes as he stared at her. I disapprove!


    Why?


    Nian Junting stuttered, I gifted you flowers, a ne, went to the movies, and even topped it off with a candlelit dinner. How can you deny me now? What a waste of a perfectly romantic night.


    Yeah, but you did all of that for your darling baby princess. Luosang was trying hard not to grin when she saw how dejected he looked. It wasnt for me anyway.


    Nian Junting initiated his defense. I


    Can you swear that you didnt do all of this for your baby daughter? Luosang interrupted him.


    Nian Junting shut his mouth. He didnt know how to retaliate.


    He hated Mo Liuxi, that little brat, to his core. Xiao Si was right. Mo Liuxi ground his gears too. He said to Luosang, Luoluo, I have a very important secret to tell you tonight, but if youre going to deny me that bit of pleasure that Ive been looking forward to all day I might as well just keep my mouth shut.

 Chapter 1430. The Premiere

    Chapter 1430. The Premiere


    Luosang merely acknowledged him with a soft grunt.


    Her ambivalent attitude drove Nian Junting nuts. Thats it? Thats your reaction? Arent you in the least bit curious about the secret I have to tell you?


    Luosang nodded her head. I am, but you said that youve decided not to tell me. Theres no use in me asking, is there?


    Nian Junting kept quiet.


    After a while, he pouted his lips and said, Luoluo, youre bound to regret this one day if you dont ask me about it now.


    He grunted and started the car grumpily.


    Luosang nced over at him and tried hard to hold back her giggles. For some reason, she enjoyed watching him get all grumpy like this  she found it adorable and it lifted her spirits.


    As for the secret that he wanted to tell her, she would find out about it one way or another eventually. No secret couldst forever.


    The night ended quietly.


    December 24th.


    Yan Su dropped Mo Liuxi a text before boarding her flight bound for Guangzhou. When she got onto the ne, she switched her phone to airne mode.


    She had been really exhausted as ofte. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, a flight attendant approached her and asked, Sorry, are you, Yan Su? Can I get an autograph, please? Im a big fan of you and your songs.


    Yan Su looked up at her  it was a girl who was about her age. She dly gave her an autograph. Before long, someone else walked over and asked for a photo together.


    Things only quietened down when the ne took off. Soon after, she realized that there were people around her discreetly taking photos of her.


    She frowned and Jiaojiaoforted her, Its like that sometimes, especially when youre famous and popr. Although you were already doing well before, its not somon for people to remember the face of singers. Youre easily recognizable now after the program you did.


    Yan Su sighed. It was the curse of fame, sacrifices that had to be made when a person was under the spotlight.


    When she got off the ne, a group of fans was waiting for her at the airport. Therge crowd closed in around her to ask for photos and autographs; there was an obsessive fan present as well. It took her nearly fifty minutes to get to her car after clearing customs.


    When she arrived at the mall where the premiere was, it was already dark. It was around dinnertime and the mall was swarmed with people  it wouldve been impossible to navigate through the crowd without her team around.


    After her bodyguards had cleared a path for her, she went upstairs and entered a private suite for the cast and crew of the movie. It was specially arranged by the theater and almost everyone was already present. It was the mostplete gathering since thest time they met in Venice.


    Susu, its been a while you look a little pale, said Shi Xiang as he walked over and handed her a paper box with an apple inside. Its Christmas Eve  this is for you.


    Yan Su was stunned and subconsciously looked around. Shi Xiang chuckled. Dont worry, I gave one to everyone here. It would be a lot stranger if you refused.


    Yan Su took the box from him. When did you arrive?


    About ten minutes earlier than you. I just came back from the US and I am really exhausted. Shi Xiang stretchedzily and looked around him. Is Ye Yunyang going to be here tonight?


    I dont think so, Ji Nuanyi answered him as she walked over to them with a te of desserts in her hands. I just asked Director Li about it.


    He was on the guest list said Yan Su, surprised.


    Ji Nuanyi smiled at her mischievously. I heard that someone made a huge fuss and asked Director Li to scrap him.


    When she said that, Yan Su thought about Mo Liuxi immediately. Director Li was a respectable person, and Mo Liuxi was probably the only one who dared to make a fuss in front of him.


    Shi Xiang looked a little heartbroken. Its good that he wont be joining us  he really has questionable ethics. I heard that you are preparing for awsuit. How is that going?


    Were going to court at the beginning of the year, Yan Su replied. Talking about it always made her a little stressed.


    Ji Nuanyiforted her, Dont worry, you are going to win this. I heard that An Lan will be representing you  she is a really aplishedwyer. Ourpany is part of the Nian Group, so most of our cases are handed over to Zhenghai Law Corporation. We hardly lose any cases.

 Chapter 1431. When Did You Two End up Together?

    Chapter 1431. When Did You Two End up Together?


    Yan Su didnt realize that theirpany was also represented by An Lan. Perhaps it was because they were all acquainted with Nian Junting in some way and that naturally, their social circles ovepped.


    If Ji Nuanyi was being honest with her, things should turn out fine.


    Suddenly, Ji Nuanyis gaze wandered briefly and she started smiling at someone behind her.


    Yan Su was nervous and she turned to see Mo Liuxi walking through the door ever so gracefully. For the event that night, Mo Liuxi was wearing a brown leather jacket with denim jeans and boots. His outfit made him look exceptionally fit and dashing.


    He always looked proud and elegant but he looked even more so with his outfit that night  aloof and elegant.


    Hey, Liuxi, why are you sote? Cheng Sheng greeted him.


    There was a traffic jam, Mo Liuxi answered him with a low voice and headed straight towards Yan Su.


    For some reason, Yan Su was extremely nervous. She remembered what had happened at the television station thest time, so he was probably going to


    She was right. Mo Liuxi stopped in front of her and red at the apple she was holding  it was as if he had not noticed Ji Nuanyi and Shi Xiang who were beside her at all. He quickly removed his jacket and wrapped it around her. With a gentle and sweet voice, he said, Baby, Guangzhou is getting colder now. Why arent you wearing much?


    Yan Su shuddered in fear. She knew she was blushing instantly.


    Ji Nuanyi had goosebumps all over her. Although she already knew that the two were flirting with each other, they usually bickered and had good banter with one another; Mo Liuxi especially, with his sharp tongue and mean words. It was awkward and embarrassing to see them act that way.


    Shi Xiang was stunned as well. He nced over to see Yan Sus embarrassed expression and he involuntarily clenched his fists in his pockets. His body stiffened as well.


    Everyone else who had noticed them was looking at them strangely too.


    The lounge was quiet for about ten seconds or so before the co-director, Lu Tao said with a curious tone, Its been a while since we all met. Did we miss out on something?


    Yan Su felt like a fish out of water. This was even more embarrassing than that time at the television station. The two of them were always fighting even when they were in Venice. She felt extremely ufortable acting this way around Mo Liuxi now.


    Its just as you see it. Mo Liuxi wrapped his arm around Yan Sus waist as he said that. He then proceeded to bend down and whispered gently into her ears, Susu, baby, did you miss me after we parted ways in Hangzhoust week?


    It was an audible whisper.


    Yan Sus knees went jelly. She was so embarrassed that she didnt dare to make a sound. Wasnt this the man trying to act distant and cool all the time? Wasnt he embarrassed to say such cheesy things in front of everyone?


    Oh, so you two were togetherst week in Hangzhou as well? Ji Nuanyi raised her eyebrows teasingly, grinning as she said it. Director Lu, seems like we do have a lot to catch up on.


    A lot indeed, Lu Tao replied. When did you two end up together? I thought you were mortal enemies. Are you two hiding something from us?


    Why? What happened? Li Ming asked curiously as he walked over to the group of them after chatting with the producers.


    People voluntarily made way for him. Yang Ziqian smiled and said, Director Li, look, it seems like these two bickering nemeses are together now. Oh, I cant believe we were still talking about howpatible Mo Liuxi and Tang Yueqi were in Venice. Haha! Yan Su is really the ck horse here. Without any warning

 Chapter 1432. Everyone Is Watching Us… Arent You Hugging Me a Little Too Tight?

    Chapter 1432. Everyone Is Watching Us�� Aren''t You Hugging Me a Little Too Tight?


    I seduced her, Mo Liuxi interrupted and looked over at Yang Ziqian with disdain. He hoped that she wouldnt bring up irrelevant names at that moment.


    Oh, right, right. My bad, sorry, Yang Ziqian shut her mouth quickly. He was infatuated with his woman. You two shouldnt behave like that though, am I right, Director Lu?


    Yes, of course. Lu Tao nodded her head fervently and continued, The two of you two should buy us all a meal. Youve kept this from us for so long. What do you say, Director Li?


    Yeah, Li Ming looked over at Mo Liuxi knowingly. Look at this guy  he was holding onto his girl so tightly. He wouldnt have been able to do that without him.


    Before their trip to Venice, he had to choose between Yan Su and Ye Yunyang. Ye Yunyang was a senior in the industry but he chose Yan Su to go for the sake of Mo Liuxi. Later during the Beijing press conference, he had Shi Xiang distracted on purpose as well. Liuxi, it wouldnt be right if you didnt buy me a meal.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. He could understand why he should buy Li Ming a meal, but he didnt see why he had to extend that generosity to the others as well. Apart from Ji Nuanyi, nobody else there had helped him in any way.


    Although they were colleagues, things were different now. He had a woman and a kid. From then on, he would only spend money on things that he should be spending on.


    Yan Su knew that he was going to act petty when she saw his expression. She quickly interrupted him, Director Lu, you are right. We should buy everyone a meal. Its also to apologize for causing any trouble when we were bickering in Venice. Well buy everyone supperter after the movie premiere.


    Yan Su is real generous! Lu Taoughed. I was justining about dinner just now. Great! Well all save some space for a sumptuous mealter.


    Great, Ill eat less too, said Yang Ziqian as she put down her te.


    Ji Nuanyi chuckled, Congrattions! I knew from a long time ago that you two would be together.


    Yan Su looked at her with her eyes widened, You


    You two were so obvious. Anyone who had half a brain could sense it, Cheng Sheng smiled. What were you two doing when you crossed the Bridge of Sighs in Venice?


    Yan Sus brain was buzzing now. She was so embarrassed that she could dig a hole in the ground and hide there. She thought that no one had seen them. You guys


    We were all just pretending not to know, Yang Ziqianughed. Nuanyi told us beforehand on the boat.


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows at Ji Nuanyi.


    Ji Nuanyi raised her ss filled with fruit juice. No need to thank me, just buy me a couple more suppers.


    Mo Liuxi said casually, I thought I bought you ice cream that day?


    Ji Nuanyi kept quiet.


    Damn. She had never met any man who was pettier than him.


    Everyone wasughing. Besides Yan Su, only Shi Xiang had fallen silent. He turned around and started looking at a row of desserts, as if in a trance.


    Although he already knew a long time back that Yan Su no longer had feelings for him, his heart ached to watch her with another man in front of everybody.


    Yan Su nced over at him from behind and let out a soft sigh.


    The night went on.


    After all the jokes and banter, Yan Su walked to the side to grab some food.


    Mo Liuxi quickly followed behind her and wrapped his arms around her from behind, in front of everybody. He said, I want some blueberries, take more.


    Yan Su turned her head to look at his chiseled and handsome face. She said, abashed, There are so many people around. Everyone is watching us arent you hugging me a little too tight?

 Chapter 1433. This Is From Shi Xiang, Isnt It?

    Chapter 1433. This Is From Shi Xiang, Isn''t It?


    Is it too tight? I dont think so. Mo Liuxi looked across the tablezily. Get some pasta for me.


    Yan Su grit her teeth. Dont you have any hands? Go get some yourself! Im taking food for myself.


    Cant, my hands hurt from writing my thesis, Mo Liuxi answered her patronizingly.


    Do you think Ive never written a graduate thesis before? Yan Su exposed him mercilessly.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her coldly before letting out a sigh. How can Ipare myself to you? Youre someone who can do it with me a million times and still get up to cook spicy chicken. Youre no ordinary woman.


    Yan Su was silent.


    She could no longer take it and she stepped on his foot grumpily.


    Mo Liuxi merely grunted  he refused to let go of her.


    Yan Su had no choice but to drag him along as she grabbed food from the table. The two of them were literally inseparable; a sight to behold. When they bumped into Li Ming, he couldnt help but say, Mo Liuxi, can you please be mindful of your surroundings? Look at you Do you know what you look like? A spineless leech! As a director, you should preserve your image and your dignity. You used to have all of that but you ruined it all tonight!


    No big deal. Theyll know if Im dignified or not when they work with me again, Mo Liuxi said nonchntly. Im only acting this way in front of my woman. We havent seen each other in two weeks. Youre an old man in your sunset years  you wouldnt understand what its like to be passionately in love.


    Yan Su saw Li Mings mustache hairs standing up. She felt bad for him.


    Youre really an ungrateful brat, Li Ming said angrily. You can do whatever you want behind these closed doors, but dont you dare announce your rtionship to the public out of the blue.


    I wont, Mo Liuxi said in a serious tone. I know where to draw the line.


    I hope so, Li Ming said half-heartedly. After taking a few steps away from them, he turned and said to Yan Su, Yan Su, keep this fe in check, will you?


    Dont worry, Director Li, Yan Su quickly nodded her head like a parent getting advised.


    Before she could look down at the table again, Mo Liuxi lifted her chin with his long, slender fingers and kissed her unceremoniously on her soft luscious lips.


    Yan Su could hear gasps around her and she pushed him away with her cheeks blushing. She looked around frantically while everyone was staring at him. Mo Liuxi, you


    Sweet, Mo Liuxi circled his arms around her waist again. He then said, Hand it over to me.


    Yan Su was silent.


    She didnt catch his drift.


    The apple. Mo Liuxi nced down at the apple in her pocket. This is from Shi Xiang, isnt it?


    Yan Su was speechless. She looked over at Shi Xiang who was having a conversation with someone while exining, He gave one to everyone. Do you really have to be so sensitive?


    I didnt get one. Mo Liuxi extended his hand sternly. Quick, dont make me grab it myself.


    Yan Su had no idea how to deal with him when he was acting like a petty bandit.


    Mo Liuxi quickly grabbed the apple from her pocket. The apple was bright and red. He said, Look, although this apple looks nice, you can tell that theres wax on it. Its not good for your health if you eat it. Shi Xiang is being ridiculous. The evil queen poisoned Snow White with an apple just like this. His intentions are questionable.


    Yan Sus expression was dark. Youre the one who didnt even get me an apple. Will you quit picking on someone else?


    Who said that I didnt get you one? I was prepared a long time ago, I put it in my pocket. You can feel for it yourself, Mo Liuxi reminded her as he raised his chin.

 Chapter 1434. Ill Be Staying in the Same Room As Yan Su

    Chapter 1434. I''ll Be Staying in the Same Room As Yan Su


    His jacket was around her now.


    Yan Su pat his pockets and there it was  an apple. It was a red and juicy-looking apple as well, albeit a little smaller with a ribbon bow wrapped around it.


    She looked up and said, Besides the size of the apples, can you please enlighten me on how different this apple is from the one Shi Xiang gave me? Its obvious that it has wax on it as well.


    Pretty apples all look like that, I cant do anything about it but I can peel the skin off for you, Mo Liuxi said as he picked up a fruit knife from the table.


    Yan Su kept quiet.


    Mo Liuxi took her apple and started peeling the skin off. Yan Su dug into her dinner  it was already seven and she was getting quite hungry.


    After a while, Mo Liuxi handed the apple back to her, Have this, you have to have an apple for Christmas.


    Yan Su took it from him; he did a good job peeling the fruit. The apple was clean and he didnt take out too much of the flesh. She took two bites before Mo Liuxi leaned in and took a bite too. He remarked, How sweet.


    Yan Su was blushing  it was obvious to her that he no longer cared about what others thought of them.


    After a while, Mo Liuxi took a bite of the apple that Shi Xiang had gifted her. He said, This apple tastes nd it isnt sweet at all. Thank goodness I didnt let you eat this.


    Yan Su quickly stuffed his mouth with some beef to shut him up.


    Mo Liuxi grinned watching her.


    Hey, stop being so gross and mushy. Ji Nuanyi walked over to them. Liuxi, the emcee is asking for you.


    Mo Liuxi walked over to the emcee to find Shi Xiang and Cheng Sheng there as well.


    Shi Xiang recognized the apple in his hands immediately. It was the apple that he picked out especially for Yan Su  the biggest and reddest one of the bunch. Mo Liuxi was munching on it.


    This is your apple, isnt it? Mo Liuxi said with glee. Yan Su said that she wanted to have my apple, so she gave me this one instead. It doesnt taste so great.


    Shi Xiangs temples throbbed. Cheng Sheng was at a loss of words in that situation; he was caught in between the two of them.


    An awkward silence filled the air.


    Before they entered the venue, the head of marketing went over and said, Theres been an emergency. The hotel that we booked was leaked to Ji Nuanyis fans  the address is posted all over the inte. Were anticipating a lot of fans crowding over there tonight so weve decided to change the hotel for the sake of everyones safety and security. Is that okay with everyone?


    Its alright, Ji Nuanyi sighed helplessly. This is all because of me. Im sorry everybody.


    Its ok. Fans are like that sometimes, Cheng Shengforted her.


    The marketing chief continued, The arrangements will be the same for everyone. Are there any changes? Everyone will be staying tonight except for Ziqian?


    I dont need a room, Mo Liuxi saidzily with his hands in his pocket.


    Everyone looked over at Yan Su and she had a bad feeling in her stomach. Mo Liuxi continued, Ill be staying in the same room as Yan Su. No need to waste resources. Can we get arger room for ourselves, please?


    Woah, youngsters I had no idea, Lu Tao chuckled.


    Everyone was looking at both of them suggestively. Ji Nuanyi gave Yan Su a gentle nudge and said, Good for you. I didnt know that you two had progressed to that stage already.


    Yan Su really wanted to bury herself underground.


    He was practically announcing to everyone that they were sleeping together already. She was absolutely embarrassed.


    Shi Xiang looked at her in shock. He felt ill and couldnt make a sound, as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. The two of them were already sleeping together?


    Mo Liuxi was extremely pleased when he saw Shi Xiangs despondent look and despair. He was looking for something to that effect.

 Chapter 1435. Why? You Feel Bad for Him?

    Chapter 1435. Why? You Feel Bad for Him?


    At eight oclock, Yan Su was set tounch the premiere with a performance of the theme song.


    Since it was too awkward to stay in the room with the others, she left early to prepare for her performance.


    When it was time, everyone started streaming in.


    Mo Liuxi was sitting below the stage, watching her. Yan Su was acting more and more like a superstar. There were lots of people present, from fans and seniors in the industry, and yet she was able to interact freely and gracefully with the audience. No wonder he liked her so much.


    This woman was his. He looked over at Shi Xiang mockingly. Shi Xiang sensed his gaze immediately and the two of them made eye contact. He red at Mo Liuxi.


    Mo Liuxi smirked at him before turning his attention back to Yan Su.


    After Yan Su had finished her performance, everyone went up on stage.


    Shi Xiang and Mo Liuxi walked up together. Shi Xiang quietly whispered to him, I get it that you are together with Yan Su. Thats enough of that, whatever youre trying to do.


    Enough? Mo Liuxiughed. What do you mean enough? Shi Xiang,e on. She is my woman for the rest of her life. You better keep your distance from her in the future.


    Shi Xiang was enraged. If it were not for that fateful night, he would never have given up on Yan Su. Now that the two of them were out of the question, why must Mo Liuxi continue sprinkling salt on his wounds? Mo Liuxi, please dont go on any further.


    He walked onto the stage after that.


    The film was screened at 9:30 PM.


    It was the first screening in China, and it meant a lot to everyone present. Although they had all watched it before, they were still happy to watch it again with all of their fans.


    Yan Su and Mo Liuxi were seated together. The theater was dark and once the lights were turned down, Mo Liuxi reached over for her hand swiftly.


    What did you say to Shi Xiang just now? said Yan Su as she leaned towards him.


    Its between men, Mo Liuxi said with a straight face.


    Yan Su frowned. Liuxi, stop trying to aggravate him.


    To be honest, she felt sorry for Shi Xiang; Mo Liuxi didnt realize that. He was like a porcupine in defense. Why? You feel bad for him?


    Dont beme. Yan Su decided to focus on the film. It seemed like Mo Liuxi was only going to get provoked if she continued talking about it.


    She had given him everything  they even had a child together. Why must he get so sensitive about things like that?


    Mo Liuxi grunted as he crossed his legs.


    Some time had passed as the movie yed on.


    At 11:30 PM, the film ended and Lu Tao was the first to say, Susu, didnt you say that you were going to treat us all out to supper?


    Of course, I didnt forget about my promise. You can make the reservations and well all drive overter, Yan Su said, smiling.


    Ill pass. I just came back from the States yesterday and I didnt get any rest on the ne. I need to catch up on some sleep, Shi Xiang said tiredly.


    Alright, rest well then. Yan Su knew that Mo Liuxi would continue to try to trigger him and decided it was best not to ask him to stay. The three of them were always awkward around each other anyway.


    The rest of the crew knew about Yan Su and Shi Xiangs past, so nobody forced Shi Xiang to stay.


    Supper in Guangzhou was delicious. It was a seaside city and there was plenty of seafood options. The weather was nice and chilly but not too cold either. Everyone was seated at the street store as they ordered a couple of beers, Australian abalone, salt and pepper shrimp, crabs, and Teppanyaki beef tongue. Ji Nuanyi and Li Ming went all out and ordered the most food.


    Mo Liuxi reminded the two of them, Be careful not to get too fat or just high blood pressure.


    Ji Nuanyi grinned and said, I love free food! I love saving my own money and watching my bank ount numbers climb higher and higher. Anyone else feel the same way?

 Chapter 1436. Baby, Did You Miss Me?

    Chapter 1436. Baby, Did You Miss Me?


    Cheng Sheng looked at her sparkling eyes and remarked, Arent you just a miser then?


    Haha, thats right, Ji Nuanyi nodded and said with pride.


    Cheng Sheng smiled as he took a sip of his beer and continued to stare at her.


    Yan Su looked at Cheng Sheng and then back at Ji Nuanyi. She smiled in surprise.


    Lu Tao stood up to pour everyone a drink. Come on, its our film premiereour special day. Lets all have a drink!


    After finding out that Yan Su was the woman he had slept with thest time he was as drunk as a skunk, Mo Liuxi was no longer as hesitant to drink. He reminded Lu Tao gently, I can drink, but I must not get drunk.


    Of course! Who are you guys? Superstars! There is a bunch of paparazzi following all of you outside. You shouldnt get too drunk and ruin your image, Lu Tao said as he took the lead and emptied his ss of beer.


    Lu Tao was the life of the party. Apart from Mo Liuxis cold exterior and Yan Sus introversion, everyone else there was outgoing and fun as individuals. The atmosphere was hyping up very quickly.


    At around one in the morning, Li Ming stood up with his bottle of beer and announced, Everyone! The producer just gave me a call. As of tonight, weve already sold 50,000,000 tickets at the box office!


    Everyone was surprised by the good news and was in good spirits. It was a remarkable feat for a film that was just released hours before.


    Seems like breaking a hundred million wont be a problem then, Yan Su smiled. If we get good reviews, more moviegoers wille to catch our film as well.


    Yes! Lu Tao stood up. Enough said. This is great news. Everyone pick up your bottleif youre a man, you have to drink up with me.


    Every man present raised their sses. Mo Liuxi looked over at Yan Su and said softly, If I get too drunkter, keep a close eye on me. Dont let any wild passionate woman just take me for the night.


    Dont drink so much, Yan Su reminded him.


    They all drank until two in the morning. When they parted ways, there was a big group of them who were dead drunk. Mo Liuxi was feeling dizzy as well.


    When Yan Su helped him into the car, she caught sight of Ji Nuanyis assistant and Cheng Sheng helping her into her car as well. She frowned but before she could get a closer look, Mo Liuxi grabbed her cor and pulled her into the car with him.


    What are you looking at? Lets go. Mo Liuxi wrapped his arms around her tightly and nuzzled his face into the nape of her neck. Susu, dont move around. Im feeling really dizzy.


    Yan Su could smell the strong stench of alcohol on him, and she was too terrified to move around. She was worried that he might throw up on her.


    After the car drove off, Yan Su asked the driver, Are we being followed?


    Nope. The driver shook his head.


    Mo Liuxi muttered under his breath, Who would dare to follow us? I am a shareholder of the Luoxi Corporation. No reporter would dare to write about us without getting a green light from ourpany!


    Yan Su heaved a sigh of relief. There were many perks to dating someone as influential and powerful as him.


    In the hotel, Mo Liuxi leaned against Yan Su as she looked for their room. He rested his hand on her shoulder, and he saw Shi Xiang walking out of the elevator. Although his senses were dulled, he could still muster enough to smirk at him. Shi Xiang had obviously lied about retiring early to his room. He must have gone out and partied as well.


    Were here. Yan Su stopped in front of the door. When she opened it, Mo Liuxi pushed her into the room before she could turn and get him. He pressed her against the closet near the doorway and started kissing her.


    Yan Su was already a little tipsy, and his swift maneuver got her a little dizzy too. When she caught hold of the situation, his kisses were forceful and hot with urgency. There wasnt room for her to breathe at all.


    Liu Xi Yan Su was clouded in a heavy mist of lust. The door


    Be good. Baby, did you miss me? Ive been wanting to kiss you like this for a long time, Mo Liuxi lifted her legs around him in such a way that she ended up straddling him, her legs off the ground. She was left weak and trembling beneath his hot kisses.

 Chapter 1437. Just Want to Spend Every Christmas Day With You

    Chapter 1437. Just Want to Spend Every Christmas Day With You


    They got it going on for two days straight before. Yan Su felt those feelingse back to her after a week of not seeing each other. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him for a long time. She suddenly recalled that the door wasnt shut; she looked over and saw Shi Xiang standing in the doorway, looking at her with eyes filled with pain and sadness.


    His gaze reminded her of what happened that night. Her heart dropped and she felt awful.


    Thankfully, Shi Xiang stalked off fast enough with his long legs.


    Yan Su understood what had just happened.


    She pushed Mo Liuxi away forcefully and shut the room door.


    Oh, we didnt close the door? Mo Liuxi squinted his eyes as he spoke with a drawl. Before he could approach her and kiss her again, Yan Su pushed him aside and said, Liuxi, enough with your games. Shi Xiangs gone.


    What? Shi Xiang? I dont know what youre talking about, Mo Liuxi persisted as he tried to dive into her again.


    After a bit of kissing, he realized that she wasnt reciprocating any of his at all  she was dead silent. He finally pulled himself away and looked at her darkly.


    Yan Su looked back at him with disappointment. Just think about it How many times did you try to rile him up tonight? Its fine to go public with our rtionship  people are aware of it anyway. Theres no need to do this. Shi Xiang and I are a thing of the past.


    Why do you care so much about him then, if its a thing of the past? Yan Su, you obviously care about his feelings, Mo Liuxis handsome face turned dark and moody.


    I think youre being too deliberate and petty  with the apple, what happened on stage, and just now, Yan Su expounded; listing all the events that happened that night. I have a kid with you. I am yours. Is it really necessary to do this because of what happened in the past? Shi Xiang has no hidden agenda.


    Youve been paying close attention, havent you? You noticed when we spoke on stage, Mo Liuxi said as he looked at her with a cold expression. Youre afraid that hell get hurt, arent you? Youre right  he didnt say anything about making up with you but when we were in Venice, he was always somewhere close by around you. You would sit with him at every meal, and you guys got along so well it was so obvious from yourughter. No matter where you were, he wouldnt be far from you.


    Were able to hold a conversation and have a goodugh because weve both moved on, Yan Su exined. Hes only around to say hi.


    Oh really? Mo Liuxi looked at her and said, If he really moved on, why is he always staring at you? Why did he look so disappointed to find out that were seeing each other? Why do I feel as though theres always some unspoken bond or chemistry between the two of you?


    Just like the night that they spent at the hotel; an entire night. She had said that nothing had happened but he still had no clue what went on that night.


    Yan Su didnt want to answer his question.


    It waste and they had a bit too much to drink. She was feeling exhausted. Liuxi, we should be treasuring what we have now. You shouldnt be so hung up on the past. Weve been through so much and we finally found our way back to each other. Do you still not have any trust in me? Its Christmas today  we broke up on this dayst year. Why cant we enjoy a nice, happy vacation for a change?


    Mo Liuxi was shaken. His lips trembled, Susu, I


    Im going to take a shower. Yan Su walked toward the bathroom.


    Before she could get far, Mo Liuxi grabbed her from behind and pulled her into his arms. His arms were wrapped around her chest and his voice was soft and a little hoarse. Merry Christmas, Susu I dont want to fight with you I just want to spend every Christmas day with you. Will you do me the honor of being my Christmas soulmate?

 Chapter 1438. Where Are You Going? Are You Going to Make Me Breakfast?

    Chapter 1438. Where Are You Going? Are You Going to Make Me Breakfast?


    Yan Su stayed quiet for a while before she turned to hug him back. Why would I be standing here with you if I didnt want the same thing? But you have to promise me  Shi Xiang is in our past.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her withplicated feelings. You shouldnt be asking me about Shi Xiang  you should be asking yourself. I wont bring it up again if you really are over him.


    I have moved on, Yan Su looked at him confidently and with undeniable certainty.


    Alright, Ill let it go too. Mo Liuxi stared at her for a few seconds before he lifted her, literally sweeping her off her feet. He walked toward the bed as he removed his leather jacket.


    Wait said Yan Su, stunned, as she grabbed on to the cor of his jacket. He always made her so flustered when he catches her off guard like that. She said, I havent showered


    Well have to shower againter. Lets not waste water. Lets do the deed first. You have no idea how much Ive missed you this week, Mo Liuxi said seductively as he nted his lips firmly onto hers. He snuck in a nibble on her plump juicy lips.


    Yan Su fluttered her eyshes, and soon, she was on the bed with him.


    She finally understood how thirsty a man who had just tasted blood could be. It was as if the doors to a new world had been opened and there was no satisfying his hunger, especially after having a few drinks; he was even wilder than before.


    In a dream-like daze, it was almost like their first night together.


    They made passionate love to each other.


    It was dark out; the night sky was pitch ck like a bottle of ink.


    Shi Xiang was sitting by the window with a bottle of red wine in his hands. He was drinking it straight from the bottle.


    Shi Xiang, thats enough. How many bottles have you had? His manager Chen Chen went up to him and grabbed the bottle. So what? Youve got your heart broken. You shouldve seen this daying.


    Yes, I saw iting. I gave her my blessing. Shi Xiang thumped his chest with his fist, But it hurts over here. I had the right to fight for her in the past, but Ive lost all of that. What time is it? Do you know what theyre doing in the room right now?


    Chen Chen was silent. He understood what he was referring to. They were all adults after all.


    Shi Xiang bent down and sat on the carpet, exhausted. It was so painful when I saw them making out so passionately like that. It would have been much more bearable if I didnt see them but I did. I cant help but think about what we had in the past. We were together for so long but she was so precious to me to even indulge in when we slept together on the same bed. She doesnt even belong to me now.


    Chen Chen patted his shoulders  he didnt know what else to say.


    This is all because of Jin Yon. She turned me into the man I am today! Shi Xiangs handsome face contorted in anger, Im going to kill her myself one day!


    Chen Chen was worried as he watched Shi Xiang.


    The two camps ended the night very differently.


    The next morning, Yan Su woke up in the arch of his arm.


    It was Christmas morning. She looked up at his prominent features  every line was perfect and his neck was smooth and elegant. Yes, he would look good with a ne on him.


    Yan Su carefully removed his hand and almost immediately, she was forced down from behind.


    A sexy body was pressed down against hers. Where do you think youre going?


    Youre awake. Yan Su was stunned. She turned to see his sleepy expression as he struggled to open his eyes. He was grinning happily.


    Of course I am. My stamina is improving after so many rounds of practice with you. I wont let you wake up before me while Im still sleeping like a log anymore. Mo Liuxi wrapped his strong arms around her underneath the sheets, asking, Where are you going? Are you going to make me breakfast?


    Yan Sus heart was thumping and she didnt dare move a muscle. They were both naked underneath the sheets.

 Chapter 1439. The Present

    Chapter 1439. The Present


    Why arent you moving? Mo Liuxi teased as he nudged her with his foot.


    Cut it out! Yan Su felt ticklish. I was going to get your Christmas present and put it on for you, but you woke up and ruined the surprise for yourself.


    Oh really? Mo Liuxi was disappointed. The only time he managed to wake up, he ruined the surprise that his girlfriend had nned for him. Ill close my eyes then. Can you put it on for me?


    He said that as he shut his eyes tightly. His hair was ruffled and his expression serene but child-like.


    Yan Sus heart went soft looking at him and she was reminded of Yan Yan. She couldnt help but kiss his forehead with delicate affection.


    Mo Liuxi smiled under her kiss and said gleefully, I asked you to put on the present. What did you kiss me for? How in love are you with me?


    I was just reminded of my daughter, Yan Su cupped his face with her hands and said yfully.


    Mo Liuxi opened his eyes wide and tried to protest, Yan Su


    Dont open your eyes  Im getting your present, Yan Su said as she covered his eyes with her hands.


    Mo Liuxi was still again. Yan Su climbed out of bed and quickly put on some clothes, barely covering herself up. She found her bag and took out a ne. She wore it around his neck.


    After she was done, Mo Liuxi opened his eyes. He was expecting a luxury brand ne of some sort but it was instead, a white jade pendant of Buddha.


    He blinked, speechlessly. He had never worn anything like that in the twenty years of his life. This is


    Its Buddha. I went to the temple and said some prayers with it. Its for safety. Yan Suid back down beside him and continued, I think nothing is more important than your safety.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her a little astonished. He was deeply moved and he grabbed her shoulder tightly before kissing her on her lips.


    Why did it mean so much, receiving a Buddha pendant from her?


    Yan Su was shocked by his reaction too. What are you doing?


    It was just a Buddha pendant. She wasnt sure about her choice of the present at first; although she made sure that it was good quality jade, not a lot of men wore those kinds of things.


    No one has ever given me something like this before, Mo Liuxi said. I grew up overseas and I dont really see a lot of these things. My mother isnt a believer either.


    Yan Su thought about his past and felt bad for him. My parents believe in these things quite a bit  Ive always worn something like this ever since I was a kid. Its difficult these days because I have to attend all sorts of events, and thats the only reason why I stopped.


    Baby, I love your present. Let me give you something too. Mo Liuxi smiled mysteriously as he passed her a CD from his bag. You are a big fan of Beyonce, arent you? I asked someone to record a video of her wishing you Merry Christmas  its signed as well.


    Yan Su looked at it and it really was Beyonces signature on the disc. She covered her mouth in delight, Liuxi, how did you do it? This is amazing!


    Mo Liuxi was satisfied with her reaction. This is nothing. Oh right, I recorded a video in there too. You can watch it when youre back home.


    He cleared his throat and said, I was nning to give this to youst year Christmas but we had a huge fight instead.


    Yan Su was startled. So this was the gift that he had nned the year before. He had put so much thought into the gift.


    Liuxi, thank you, said Yan Su as she jumped into his arms.


    Mo Liuxi inhaled sharply and he looked at her with fire in his eyes, Please dear, Im not wearing anything down there.


    Yan Su was embarrassed but before she could escape, Mo Liuxi had pulled her into the sheets.

 Chapter 1440. Nuanyi and Cheng Sheng Are in the Headlines

    Chapter 1440. Nuanyi and Cheng Sheng Are in the Headlines


    The two of them were tangled together beneath the sheets. Right before Mo Liuxi could get to the main course, Yan Sus phone started ringing.


    She reached out to pick up her phone but Mo Liuxi pressed down on her arms and wouldnt let her. Dont answer, just let it ring.


    No, maybe its something important, Yan Su pushed against him forcefully. She managed to free her hands and crawled to where her phone was; the call was from Luosang.


    Just as she was about to pick up, Mo Liuxi picked her up and dropped her back down on the bed relentlessly. Yan Su, look at me now. How can you even think about picking up a phone call? You should be trying to put out the fire


    As if! Its your sister! Yan Su shot him a warning re, Shut up.


    She picked up the phone and asked, Sangsang, whats the matter?


    I have something urgent to ask you. Luosang said hurriedly, Did you see the news this morning?


    The news? Yan Su felt anxious. She wondered if a reporter had taken a photo of her and Mo Liuxi. What news?


    As she was talking on the phone, Mo Liuxi scooted over and nibbled on her eyes. It was her most sensitive area and she nearly dropped her phone.


    Its Nuanyi, Luosang said. Nuanyi and Cheng Sheng are in the headlines.


    Yan Su sat upright, What happened?


    Dont you know? I saw on the news that you all had supper togetherst night, Luosang said worriedly. Anyway, someone snapped a photo of Nuanyi and Cheng Sheng entering a hotel room together after the supper. She sighed before continuing, Brother Xiao is furious after reading the news. Shes not answering her phone either. I just wanted to ask you if you have any news.


    Um Im not sure about that  I had a bit too much to drink. But when we leftst night, Nuanyi was quite tipsy, so Cheng Sheng and her assistant helped her into her car. Im not sure what happened after that. The reporters might just be pulling things out of context. Her assistant must have been there all along too, Yan Su frowned while exining. I didnt think that Nuanyi fancied Cheng Sheng.


    Luosang sighed. Its all trouble now. Brother Xiao is quite bothered by the incident, she said. I just want them to be happy together.


    Ill go look for herter. I dont think she checked out yet. She might be sleeping in like me. Just as Yan Su said that, Mo Liuxi started kissing her in herher regions and she nearly moaned aloud. She quickly said, I have something going on. I need to hang up now


    As soon as she hung up, she kicked him in his chest. Mo Liuxi, didnt you hear me on the phone? Something happened. How are you still in the mood for sex?


    It doesnt concern the two of us anyway. Mo Liuxi rubbed his chest. Its just a bit of scandal, it happens to all celebrities. Anyway, in this circle, the more morous and popr you are, the more people will be watching you. More people will be trying to drag you down as well. If Ji Nuanyi cant handle that, she shouldnt be staying in this industry.


    Yan Su was shocked. What do you mean by that?


    Someone is trying to bring her down. Mo Liuxi leaned against the pillowzily. Even you have people who are jealous of you, much less a superstar like her. After the Venice Film Festival, she has been receiving acting roles and offers from everywhere and her movie is doing so well at the box office too. She is going to be nominated for all kinds of awards this year for sure. The media is watching her now but they wouldnt dare to post things about her too hastily  she does have a strong backing after all. The newsst night was let out so surreptitiously that its no surprise someone must have coordinated the whole incident. Think about it  she has a boyfriend like Xiao Si protecting her and shes soaring high as well, career-wise. Of course, someone would be jealous of her.

 Chapter 1441. The Lascivious Admirers of CEO Xiao

    Chapter 1441. The Lascivious Admirers of CEO Xiao


    Yan Su fell silent. Indeed, as a singer, many people were jealous of her, much less therger circle of the acting industry.


    But Big Brother Cheng Honestly, I think he likes Nuanyi. I saw itst night.


    I dont know. I dont pay attention to other women.


    Mo Liuxiy down in afortable position. But Cheng Sheng said that she was neither his girlfriend nor wife and that its not weird for a man to be attracted to women. Whats more, in showbiz, many actors develop an affection for each other while filming. But being exposed like that is bad press for Nuanyi. After all, the public knows she is dating Xiao Si, and now theyre saying that she entered a room with another man. People will think that she is two-timing him. In this society, when a male celebrity cheats on someone, he can be forgiven. Even though it will create an uproar among women in the public, it will die down after a while. However, if a female celebrity is found to be cheating, both the male and female celebrities will be criticized. Many do not have happy endings.


    What you said makes sense. I want to ask Nuanyi what happened. Yan Su was unable to sit still anymore. She quickly got up to wear her clothes again.


    Mo Liuxi did not stop her. After all, Ji Nuanyi had helped him in Venice. He should be a little concerned for her.


    As Yan Su was about to leave, he suddenly said, tell Ji Nuanyi this: even if she has no acting projects in the future, I will still fulfill my promise to her.


    What promise?


    Im not telling you. Mo Liuxi turned over to sleep.


    Ji Nuanyi stayed downstairs. Yan Su knocked on the door. It took a long time for her assistant, Shen Yue, to open the door. Miss Yan, why are you here?


    Is Nuanyi awake? Im here because of the rumors this morning Yan Su said earnestly.


    Come in. Shen Yue moved aside.


    Yan Su entered and saw Ji Nuanyi talking on the phone at the bedside with her hair down. Upon seeing Yan Su, she nodded her head and continued her conversation. Ive said that I have no rtionship with Cheng Sheng. He left after sending me in If you dont believe me, ask my assistant. I have no ambiguous rtionship with Cheng Sheng Why would you believe those articles? There were so many people there yesterday


    Yan Su waited for about three minutes before Ji Nuanyi hung up the phone. She walked towards her listlessly. Have you had breakfast? I wasnt expecting such a big thing to happen after waking up.


    Is there anyone who wants to harm you? Yan Su asked worriedly.


    There are many people who would wish me harm, Ji Nuanyi said coldly as she sat on her chair. Recently, Ive been auditioning for an important role in a new movie. If my reputation is ruined, the directing team will not consider me anymore and then theres my other movie that was only released yesterday. If the male and female leads get bad press, it will affect the box office performance. Besides, there are also thosescivious admirers of Xiao Si. Its not as simple as it seems.


    Yan Su was surprised. CEO Xiaosscivious admirers


    Susu, Xiao Si is handsome and hes senior management in the entertainment industry. He is funny, entertaining, and likes to y around outside. What woman wouldnt like that kind of man? Ji Nuanyiughed.


    Yan Su stayed silent. Suddenly, she felt that Mo Liuxi, despite being petty, mean, and does not like to go out, was pretty decent as a boyfriend.


    Are you here to show your concern for me? Thank you. Ji Nuanyi added, Actually, I knew that there were reporters following me, but we usually give them some tips to close an eye. This time though, they messed with me behind my back. This was definitely premeditated but it doesnt matter. Having stumbled around in the industry for years, there hasnt been any kind of boisterous waves I have not seen before. As long as I walk straight and stand tall, I will be fine.

 Chapter 1442. An Absolute Gem of A Man

    Chapter 1442. An Absolute Gem of A Man


    Dont worry, Ill help you clear up the situation, Yan Su said. You helped mest time and Mo Liuxi said that he would still keep his promise.


    He did? Then I dont have to worry. Ji Nuanyi was a little surprised and smiled.


    What did he promise you? Yan Su asked curiously.


    He didnt tell you? Since I matchmade both of you there, he said he would help me win the Best Actress Award in Venice. Ji Nuanyi smiled.


    Hes crazy! Doesnt he have any shame? Yan Su sighed.


    Youll have to see it to believe it. Youve never seen him act in a scenehes really talented in acting, Ji Nuanyi said seriously. As an actor, he is an absolute gem of a man.


    To women, whether or not a man is considered a gem by others is not important. The most important thing for her is that he treats her well. Yan Su smiled and nodded. I discussedst nights situation with Luosangshell clear up the misunderstanding on your behalf. As celebrities, theres no way we can avoid being involved in rumors, but I think its important that we clear up all misunderstandings. Mr. Xiao might be angry at first, but hes a forgiving personhell forget about it eventually. I need to go now, but if theres anything you need help with, feel free to look me up.


    Thank you.


    Heading towards the door, Yan Su thought for a moment before adding, I dont know if you realize it, but I think you should keep a distance from Brother Cheng


    You mean about him liking me? Ji Nuanyi had hit the bullseye. She paused, contemting for a bit before continuing, He confessed to mest night.


    Yan Su was surprised. She did not expect Ji Nuanyi to confide in her.


    We might have had too much to drinkst night. We were all in a good mood because of the box office results, but I rejected him and told him that we would only stay as co-workers in the future. But theres still ongoing promotions for our current movie, and since both of us are also the main leads Ji Nuanyi shrugged weakly.


    I understand. Ill leave now. Yan Su nodded seriously. She felt helpless too. Cheng Sheng was a top actor; the man of many peoples dreams. Although being 38 years old, he was quite a good match for Ji Nuanyi. Unfortunately, she already had a boyfriend. It was not a good thing to intervene in someone elses rtionship.


    While waiting for the elevator, Yan Su checked the timeit was ten-thirty. Since she was already out, she thought that she might as well head to the restaurant to buy some breakfast before heading back.


    Just as she was about to leave after getting her food, she met Shi Xiangs manager, Chen Chen.


    She bowed to greet Chen Chen as he stopped in front of her, looking serious. Miss Yan, may I have a word with you?


    Yan Su wondered. If its about Shi Xiang


    Please tell Mo Liuxi to stop provoking him.


    When the production team split both of you up to promote the movie separately, Shi Xiang was relieved. Chen Chen sighed. You were always in his heart, but he probably felt that he wasnt right for youthats why he only wanted to stay as friends. When both of you met in Venice, he simply wanted to talk to you as a friend. He was also very careful to avoid showing too much concern for you. Last night, when he wanted to give you an apple, he even went and gave everyone else one too. He tried his best to contain his feelings, and yet Mo Liuxi continued to provoke him. His feelings had already been hurt before. Although he may look morous on the outside, on the inside, hes a real softy.


    I dont know what he sawst night, but when he came home, he downed five bottles of red wine and was almost sent to the hospital from gastric pain. Chen Chen fixed his gaze on her.


    Yan Su looked at him in shock.


    He might have betrayed you in the past, and that was indeed his mistake, but he did that in hopes of giving you a better future. Chen Chen sighed. The only thing Im afraid of now is that he would get pushed to the edge and down the wrong path.

 Chapter 1443

    Chapter 1443


    What do you mean? Yan Su did not quite understand him, or rather, she did not dare to read any deeper into his words.


    Chen Chen fixed his gaze on her. Have you ever had suicidal thoughts at night? There was once when he picked up a knife in the middle of the night and slit his wrist. Good thing I was keeping a close watch on him and he was saved.


    Yan Su gasped.


    The whole thing was caught on camera by the paparazzi and we spent a huge amount of money to keep it under wraps. Chen Chenughed bitterly. We usually only see the morous side of Shi Xiang, but deep inside, hes just like a piece of ss  it shatters when touched. Others might not understand him, but dont you know him better? For the past half-year, I arranged for him to see a psychologist, but he just cant get over the wall in his heart. Jin Yon is not someone you should mess around with.


    Upon mentioning that woman, a shiver ran down Yan Sus spine. How is she now?


    She is, of course, having a wonderful time in Korea, Chen Chen said sarcastically. When Shi Xiang was with her, he was introduced to some of her businesses in China. But after that, Jin Yon quickly moved them out of China. The little evidence that we managed to get wasnt enough to convict her. Besides, she is not from China. Im afraid that he might finish her off himself. If death does not scare a person, there is nothing he is afraid of.


    Yan Sus eyes widened in astonishment. After all, Shi Xiang was her first love and her high school friend  she would hate to see him go that far.


    If its possible, I hope you can persuade him personally, Chen Chen said sincerely.


    Yan Su bit down on her lips; her eyebrows furrowed indecisively. With some hesitation, she said, if I meet him next time, I will persuade him. But to ask him out privately Im sorry, I dont want Mo Liuxi to misunderstand


    Alright then, I wont force it on you. Please just tell Mo Liuxi to stop provoking him. Chen Chen sighed as he left.


    It took a while before Yan Su could regain herposure and head back to her room.


    Her mind wandered off as she walked towards her room. Upon opening the door with her room card, she noticed that the bed was empty and Mo Liuxi was gone.


    After a quick look around the room, she went for her phone; she heard a knock on the door.


    Opening the door, Mo Liuxi stood outside, looking grave.


    Why werent you sleeping in? Yan Su yanked him in, afraid of any paparazzi lurking in the corridor. Where did you go?


    I went to Ji Nuanyis ce to look for you since you were gone for so long. But she said you left a long time ago. Mo Liuxi threw her a nce.


    I went to buy breakfast. Yan Su pointed to the spread on the table. Theyre freshly made. I was waiting in line for quite some time to get these. Have you washed up? Come on and eat then. There are so many types of food in Guangzhou so I bought a lot for breakfast.


    Mo Liuxi sat on the chair expressionlessly, popping a shrimp dumpling into his mouth. The shrimp was fresh and delicious. He nced up, noticing that Yan Su had also picked up a dumpling, but she looked preupied with other things on her mind.


    His mood turned sour. Picking the dumpling from her chopsticks, he stuffed it into his mouth.


    What are you doing? Yan Su stared at him, speechless.


    I should be the one asking you, Mo Liuxi frowned deeply. Did you only go to the restaurant to buy breakfast for me?


    Yan Su might be dense, but at that moment, she could sense that something was amiss. When I was on my way back, I met Shi Xiangs manager and had a few words with him.


    Seeing that she did not hide the meeting from him, Mo Liuxi eased up. The both of you seemed to be chatting for a long time. Since when were you so familiar with that man?

 Chapter 1444. The Likes Accident

    Chapter 1444. The ''Likes'' ident


    Yan Su immediately understood why Mo Liuxi was upset  he saw her talking with Chen Chen before. Was he testing her on purpose by not telling her that?


    Her heart sunk all of a sudden.


    So you dont trust me, once again?


    Mo Liuxi was losing his patience. I just want to know the reason why.


    Fine, Ill tell you, Yan Su said. Chen Chen only came to tell me that, since I am with you now, I should talk you out of always starting fights with Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang knew in his heart that he and I were over.


    If he believes that you were over, then he would ignore my provocations. Went out of his way to send his manager to talk to you? I dont think hes over you at all, Mo Liuxi said with a stone-cold tone.


    He did not go out of his way to send his manager. We bumped into each other and had a casual chat. Yan Su took a sip of the porridge. She did not wish to drag the topic on with Mo Liuxi.


    Mo Liuxi frowned. As Yan Su had stopped talking, he finished his breakfast alone. It was quite tasty before, but after all that, it tasted as nd as paper.


    Mo Liuxi had only taken a few bites. He then went over to the bed to take a nap.


    Yan Su took her phone out to read about Ji Nuanyis news. Both Ji Nuanyi and Cheng Sheng were big names. Things had escted much faster than her incident before. Many maliciousments were posted. Many influencers added fuel to the fire as well.


    About 10 minutes before, Ji Nuanyi made a statement on Weibo: Last night we all drank a little bit more than what we could handle. Some werepletely drunk. @ChengSheng walked me to my car and my assistant was helping me out as well. Why is there only me and Cheng Sheng in that photo? When we went back to my hotel, my assistant was just behind us. And there was only me and Cheng Sheng, again. Just so you know, my assistant is a girl, so she could not hold me up when I was so drunk. Cheng Sheng left after he put me down. Didnt you get that photo?


    Not long after the post, Cheng Sheng retweeted the post with a few more words: Its too easy to start a rumor.


    Within three minutes, Shi Xiang retweeted as well to show his support.


    Yan Su liked all the posts  she even liked Shi Xiangs post by ident.


    Yan Su looked to the man sleeping on the bed. Her heart almost lost a beat; she had liked the post. What would people say if she removed the like? They would think that she was trying to start a media hype, or the two were not over yet. It would cause trouble either way. Maybe It was best to just let it be and be honest about it.


    She retweeted Ji Nuanyis post and wrote: We had a bite togetherst night. I saw @JiNuanyi s assistant there when we called it a night. Nuanyi is a selfless, honest spirit. And Cheng Sheng is a big brother who always looks out for the others. Cant imagine that someone would twist the facts and make a story out of this.


    Soon after she posted, thousandsmented below. Many said that Yan Su valued her rtionships with her friends, and others believed that she was in this together with Ji Nuanyi as Shi Xiang, Mo Liuxi and Yan Sus names were always on the news.


    Of course, Shi Xiang liked her post not too long after as well.


    Yan Su had butterflies in her stomach. She patted the man under the covers and said, We are all supporting Nuanyi, join us.


    Mo Liuxi squinted his eyes, looked to Yan Su, and said, We you and who else?


    Just the cast. Yan Su cleared her throat. Shi Xiang and Cheng Sheng retweeted as well. I liked their posts.


    Yan Su, how dare you like Shi Xiangs post! Mo Liuxi threw back the covers and sat up straight. His voice was deafening to Yan Sus ears.


    But I liked everyone elses posts. It would seem weird if I did not like his, Yan Su exined. People might say that I am not over him yet. Retweet now  Ill like yours as well.

 Chapter 1445. I Love You Are Such Amazing Words

    Chapter 1445. ''I Love You'' Are Such Amazing Words


    Mo Liuxi sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at Yan Su in anger.


    You dont think Im right? asked Yan Su, crossing her arms. Then Ill remove the likes right now.


    Go ahead. Youll be on the headlines instead of Ji Nuanyi in no time. Mo Liuxi talked back without hesitation.


    Yan Sus eyes sparkled. She then said, Youre right. I can help Ji Nuanyi if I create a distraction. Ill go remove the


    Yan Su stood up as she spoke but Mo Liuxi pulled her into his arms all of a sudden. Mo Liuxi said to her with determination, No. If you really want to help her, I think its better for us to go public.


    Yan Su blinked her eyes and said, You are not as big as a celebrity like Shi Xiang


    Mo Liuxi lost his words.


    He felt like a roaring fire, and Yan Su was ying with fire. Yan Su


    Mo Liuxis lips shivered. His voice seemed toe from the back of his teeth.


    Im just teasing you, Yan Su burst intoughter. She fell into his arms, caressed his face, gave him some kisses and said, If I post that kind of message out of the blue, my mom and dad would be furious. I need to take you home and get their blessing first.


    What if your parents dont agree with you? Mo Liuxi melted as Yan Su touched him.


    A smart guy like you can figure out a way. Yan Su rested her head on her hands, smiled, and said, If you cant handle your future mother-inw and father-inw, theres nothing I can do.


    Yan Su spread her hands as she finished the sentence. Mo Liuxi pinched her adorable cheeks, smiled, and said, You are leaving me to deal with all of this alone? If its like in the dramas, shouldnt you say that, with or without their approval, youll be with me till death do us part?


    Well, you were the one who was mad at me before, and you were hard on me, Yan Su said calmly. What kind of person are you? You called me baby before we went to bed, and then yelled at me after you put your pants back on.


    I did not yell at you. I was just jealous. Mo Liuxi clenched his fist and cleared his throat. Susu, after what happened before even though we have a child, I am still scared that you might leave me for Shi Xiang. Promise me  keep your distance with him. I would feel insecure if you dont.


    I promise you, I wont leave you. Yan Su raised her hand and said, I swear that if I still have feelings for Shi Xiang, I will get hit by


    Mo Liuxi put his hand over her mouth before Yan Su could finish her words.


    Stop it, Mo Liuxi stopped her with a stern look. He looked down and said, If you have feelings for him again someday, I would hate you to my core but I would still wish you a happy life.


    Yan Su felt like she was about to tear up. She wrapped her arms around Mo Liuxis neck and said, I wont. Well be fine. I love you.


    Say it one more time. Mo Liuxi raised his head with his eyes twinkling.


    I love you, Yan Su nibbled his ear and whispered to him.


    Mo Liuxi turned around and pinned her down onto the bed. There was a fire in his eyes.


    Will you ever yell at me again? Yan Su asked as she blinked her eyes.


    No more yelling. Mo Liuxis heart melted. Ill go like your post and retweet Ji Nuanyis post now.


    Okay. Yan Su nodded. She suddenly found the three words, I love you, to be such amazing words  they could turn a man who was always harsh and mean to others, like Mo Liuxi, into someone gentle and obedient.


    Mo Liuxi sat up immediately to get his phone and retweeted the post. He was a little bit upset. Shi Xiang always got to retweet faster than anyone else. That happened thest time with Yan Su as well.


    After Mo Liuxi retweeted, he liked everyones posts as well. Of course, everyone but Shi Xiang.

 Chapter 1446. Susu, You Have Quite the History

    Chapter 1446. Susu, You Have Quite the History


    The two woke up from their nap at three in the afternoon.


    Yan Su found out to her surprise that Yan Su Likes Shi Xiangs Post, Mo Liuxi Did Not Like Shi Xiangs Post and Mo Liuxi and Shi Xiang Are Frenemies were trending topics on social media.


    Yan Su also read some of thements underneath. Some believed that she could not get over Shi Xiang and they would probably get back together in no time. Othersmented that Mo Liuxi was not on good terms with Shi Xiang because he had feelings for her. Oddly enough, a small group of people said that Mo Liuxi and Shi Xiang looked great together. They dug up a photo of the two standing together, promoting a new show. Some even wrote fan fiction about the two.


    Yan Su took some time to have a good read and she enjoyed herself.


    What are you reading there? Mo Liuxi took her phone without asking. His face darkened as he saw the fan fiction on the screen. What the heck is this? It says Shi Xiang pinned me down!


    The corners of Yan Sus mouth twitched. Well I believe that you are at the bottom in that story she said.


    Mo Liuxi gave Yan Su a menacing re. Yan Suughed out loud and said, Dont be mad. There are so many girls today who enjoy a little bromance.


    Ill have someone delete that. There is no way this gets out! Mo Liuxi called his personal assistant immediately and asked him to take down the post.


    They took a shower together after the post was deleted. When they got out of the shower, Jiang Peiying invited Yan Su to a video call.


    Yan Su took the call after she asked Mo Liuxi to stand back.


    Jiang Peiying was holding Yan Yan in her arms on screen. When Yan Yan saw her mother, she grabbed the phone, babbling.


    Yan Yan, did you miss mommy? One after the other, they could not blow each other enough kisses.


    Mo Liuxi couldnt help but sneak behind the chair to have a look. His heart melted when he saw Yan Yan. His baby was so adorable  far more adorable than the photos.


    Jiang Peiying asked on the phone directly, Susu, I was looking at my phone earlier. Why are you on the news with Shi Xiang? And that Mo Liuxi again? I told you so many times, especially about that Shi Xiang  you need to stay as far away from him as possible. And you still liked his post! Are you trying to get your dad mad at you? He said if you ever got back together with Shi Xiang, he would break your legs!


    Mo Liuxi nodded in agreement. His mother-inw and father-inw turned out to be a great help.


    Mom, dont believe anything on the Inte. Yan Su had no choice but tough at it.


    Fine. No more talk about Shi Xiang. What about Mo Liuxi? Jiang Peiyings tone changed immediately. I read his profile online just now. Hes got some talent, but he is too young. Good-looking men like these are always immature. I can tell from his looks that he is a yboy.


    Mo Liuxi sheepishly grabbed Yan Sus clothes behind her with confusion and doubt. She did not know whether tough or cry.


    Right. Jiang Peiying continued, Do you still remember Tan Jiahe, Uncle Tans son? He came back from overseas and he is a big deal now! He was offered a position as a professor in the provincial School of Fine Arts. I met him once not too long ago. He has good features, is mature and down to earth. Remember how you used to hang out a lot with Jiahe? You went swimming together as well


    Mom Yan Su felt that her the back part of her clothes were going to be rags. She had to change the topic.


    Right, I went off-topic. Ill get to the point now. Jiang Peiying seemed to get the message. Come back for the Lunar New Year, meet with Jiahe, and have dinner with him. Its all for your own good. Jiahe is a good man. I hope you can get married someday


    Well, mom, I need to go. Yan Su ended the call immediately. She turned around and said to the man behind, You promised me just now  no yelling.


    Mo Liuxi had to unwillingly swallow his pride and anger. Susu, you have quite the history went swimming with some guy when you were younger and you ran away with your schoolmate when youre older

 Chapter 1447. Sister Yan, I Have Seen Him at His Worst

    Chapter 1447. Sister Yan, I Have Seen Him at His Worst


    That was when I was five or six. We went for a swim together in a river in the vige. A lot of my friends were there, Yan Su exined helplessly. Do you really need to be jealous of that? You never swam in the pool with some girl?


    Mo Liuxi couldnt find the answer to that right away. After quite a while, he said, Your parents set up a date for you


    I wont go, because Im taking you home this Lunar New Year. Yan Su smiled as she put her arms around Mo Liuxis neck.


    Mo Liuxi felt that he couldnt be mad at her anymore. Susu, dont worry. Ill make sure that your parents like me. Ill do whatever they ask.


    What if they ask you to get out?


    I will get out of that situation.


    Yan Su kept quiet.


    The two flirted for some time until Chu Jiu called Mo Liuxi and told him that he was at the parking lot.


    Mo Liuxi and Yan Su went downstairs and saw a ck Lamborghini parked just outside the elevator.


    The car window rolled down, revealing a young man sitting inside. He had a prominent nose and thin lips. His eyes were looking up, charming and enchanting. He looked like a bad boy.


    Chu Jiu got out of the car immediately when he saw the two. He opened the passenger door and said, Please, mydy.


    Yan Su froze a bit. She smiled and was just about to say something when Mo Liuxi gave Chu Jiu a cold re and said, Do not call her that ever again. That is my pet name for her only.


    Chu Jiu was speechless.


    Yan Su blushed. How could he calmly tell others his pet name for her?


    My bad, my bad. Chu Jiu got the message and said, Sister Yan, please.


    Thank you Yan Su bent down and got into the car quickly as she was embarrassed.


    There was a slight twinkle in Chu Jius eyes. He patted Mo Liuxi on the shoulder and murmured, She looks even prettier in person than in the photos. No wonder she could take on someone like you.


    Dont pat me on my shoulder. I have a girlfriend now. Dont touch me there. Mo Liuxi moved Chi Jius hand away and sat next to Yan Su.


    Chu Jiu stood there staring at his hand hanging in midair. The corners of his mouth twitched.


    After Mo Liuxi got into the car, he introduced Chu Jiu immediately. This is my friend, Chu Jiu. He was studying overseas before and came back recently for the holidays. His dad sent him to Guangzhou to do some business. I wasnt going to see him. After all, its Christmas and I just want to spend it with you. But he keeps sending me messages and giving me calls so I have to meet up with him.


    Yan Su fell silent.


    She had no idea how to reply to that.


    She looked sympathetically at Chu Jiu, who was sitting in the front seat, and said, Nice to meet you. You know what? Its Christmasthe more the merrier. Also, you are the first friend Liuxi officially introduced to me.


    I know, he doesnt have many real friends, Chu Jiu answered, smiling.


    Mo Liuxi kept quiet.


    Yan Su thought the same.


    Mo Liuxi grabbed Yan Sus arm gently and said in a low voice, Thats because I have a girlfriendyou. Why do I still need friends? Its a waste of time and my life. And we go out sometimes for meals. Thats definitely a waste of money.


    A cold shiver ran down Chu Jius spine, and he felt a bit sick. Was this sickeningly sweet man the same Mo Liuxi he had known before?


    Yan Su said, At least be nice to your friends.


    Chu Jiu chuckled and said, Its alright, Sister Yan. Ive seen him at his worst. It was the first year of high school when I first met him. He was pinching and scraping his way through. It was before the Morrison family took him back. He would only have a bread roll and a cup of warm water for breakfast. One pair of shoes for the entire semester, and only two sets of clothes. He was the poorest boy in our school, but with the best grades.

 Chapter 1448. His Past

    Chapter 1448. His Past


    Yan Su was surprised when she heard that.


    What about her days in high school? The housemaid would prepare boiled eggs and milk for her every day. Moreover, if she requested, the housemaid would make deep-fried dough sticks, noodles, wantons, or dumplings the next morning as she wished. Ms. Jiang bought her many pretty clothes as well. Mo Liuxis old life made her heart ache.


    You had a rough time before you got back to the Morrison family? Yan Su asked softly. But I heard a well-known director took you in and mentored you since high school?


    I had a part-time job back then. But I couldnt spend all my money just because I was making some. You couldnt make more if you dont save up. Also, the tuition fee wasnt exactly cheap. Mo Liuxi was not ufortable talking about his past. It was alright to be broke back then. Yes, I did only have two sets of clothes, but I was confident that I would look great in anything. I did not care much about my looks  its not like I was trying to get a girlfriend.


    Yan Su respected Mo Liuxi for that. She never thought about making more money with the money she had when she was about the same age. Maybe it had to do with the environment a person was in.


    Hes not wrong, Chu Jiu chuckled and said. Because of his looks, there were so many girls who had their eyes on him in school. There was one time a girl wanted to date him. Do you know what he said? He said, Why would I date you? Its just a waste of money. That girl then said that she would pay for everything if he could be with her, and he said to her that he didnt want a sugar mommy and he walked off with his head held high.


    Yan Su rubbed her fingers on Mo Liuxis palm with a big smile on her face. Being with me is a waste of money as well


    I would waste all the money in the world for you. Mo Liuxi kissed Yan Su on her cheek.


    Chu Jiu cleared his throat and said, Right, watch yourselves  I am still here.


    No one sees you anyway, Mo Liuxi said with no emotion.


    Chu Jiu was speechless.


    Chu Jiu thumped the steering wheel, upset, and said, Mo Liuxi, we have not seen each other for almost a year. Do you have to be so heartless?


    Mo Liuxi answered without blinking, You are not my girlfriend. Why should I put my heart out for you? Dont you agree, Susu?


    Yan Su sighed helplessly. Thank God she was Mo Liuxis girlfriend.


    They drove on.


    Because of Yan Sus poprity, public ces did not seem appropriate for the three. Chu Jiu then took the couple directly to a bowling alley.


    Yan Su did not have much experience with bowling, so she had a try and was enjoying herself. In the meantime, Chu Jiu and Mo Liuxi were sitting on the couch, drinking coffee, and talking about investments.


    Yan Su was shocked. She thought Mo Liuxi was only good at making movies. Also, Chu Jiu seemed to be around the same age as Mo Liuxi, but he definitely knew his stuff when it came to investments.


    You want to invest in the esports industry? Yan Su walked over to Mo Liuxi and asked softly. I dont feel confident about that industry. Its just a bunch of children ying video games.


    Mo Liuxi pulled her onto hisp and said, You dont know much about that. Chu Jiu was studying overseas. The esports industry is thriving overseas right now. Its gaining attention inside the country as well. He is nning to invite leading esportspanies from Korea, Japan, and other countries, start esportspetitions and attract sponsors. Its an industry with huge profits.


    Chu Jiu smiled and said, Sister Yan, do you know how Liuxi and I became friends? I made a little game when I was studying in Europe. My dad got mad at me and said that I was just fooling around. Liuxi found out about it. He ran directly to me and said he wanted to work with me. He said he would pay me to develop the game. And I thought, how could someone as poor as you have any money for investment? But then he ended up investing a million and I was almost shocked to death. The game then went on to be one of the best sellers in Europe. We made a huge amount of money, and I started to see him in a different light.

 Chapter 1449. Since When Did You Become So Close With Yan Su?

    Chapter 1449. Since When Did You Be So Close With Yan Su?


    Yan Su was stunned. She had just realized that she did not know much about Mo Liuxi before.


    As the old saying goes, To know a man is to know his past.


    Mo Liuxi exined, I was all about making money at that time. Many times I saw him developing his game when I went to theputerb. So I had my eye on him. After observing him for a while, I knew he had the talent. Otherwise, I would never have talked to him.


    Chu Jiu was d to hear Mo Liuxis words, but his smug face soon disappeared. Hey, thats a bit harsh!


    Yan Suughed out loud and asked with curiosity, So how did you get that one million?


    Mo Liuxi paused for a while, and then answered, Part-time jobs, and saving as much money as I could.


    Chu Jiu quickly said, He had three jobs, and only slept five hours a day.


    Yan Su felt tears in her throat. She promised herself that she would treat Mo Liuxi better from then on.


    After bowling, the three went for Cantonese food.


    Dinner was finished. Chu Jiu rented the room, paid the bill, and left. After all, it was Christmas  he did not want to be a third wheel.


    Yan Su stopped him and friended him on WeChat.


    Once Chu Jiu left, Mo Liuxi crossed his arms with displeasure. Why did you friend him on WeChat?


    To know more about you. Yan Su nced at Mo Liuxi. I feel that he is a friend who truly understands you. Hes seen you at your worst, and at your best. Others, like Zhang Hongchuan, may hang out with you quite often, but they do not know your past.


    Mo Liuxi froze for a bit, but he believed Yan Su was right about that. He then said, Is my past that important? You just need to know my present and my future.


    If you truly like someone, you would want to know his past, present, and future, Yan Su said. She took Mo Liuxis arm and smiled.


    Mo Liuxis heart raced and he could almost hear his own heartbeat. He looked at the woman next to him with mixed feelings. Susu, its Christmas today. We should have the day to ourselves, but I asked you toe out to meet with my friend


    Its alright. I am a public figure, so I couldnt go to public ces anyway. Yan Sus eyes fell on the street where endless cars came and went. The traffic was particrly heavy as it was Christmas. There was a huge traffic jam. Well, lets go get some milk tea. I havent had any in like, forever, Yan Su said.


    Mo Liuxi was lost in his thoughts for a few seconds. He remembered that he and Yan Su loved having milk tea near the school. Mo Liuxi smiled and nodded.


    They spent the whole time together.


    Not long after Christmas, it was almost New Year.


    Asias Top Singer was going well. Yan Su was eliminated in the 10th episode. At the end of the day, she was too young to be in thepetition. When Yan Su left, she said her goodbye to the show and the audience with tears in her eyes.


    Mo Liuxi watched that episode in the living room when it was on-air. Mo Jin felt sorry for Yan Su and said, I wont watch this show if Susu is not in it anymore.


    Xu Zhengxuan was puzzled. Since when did you be so close with Yan Su? You are calling her Susu now?


    Mo Jin red at Xu Zhengxuan. She then turned around to have a look at her son. Mo Liuxi was chatting on WeChat. What are you doing there, son? Mo Jin asked.


    She walked to Mo Liuxi and she saw on his screen: There there, baby


    Mo Liuxi covered his screen quickly, turned around, and gave Mo Jin a stern re, Dont disturb me when I am chatting on WeChat!


    Mo Jin shivered and felt a bit sick. Was this the same cold, distant son of hers?


    Xu Zhengxuan felt the two were about to get into a fight, so he jumped right in, Your mom said she wants to visit her dad in Luxembourg this New Year. How about we go on a trip to Europe? A lot of people are spending the New Year overseas now.

 Chapter 1450. I Am Spending This New Year at My Girlfriends House

    Chapter 1450. I Am Spending This New Year at My Girlfriend''s House


    Just the thought of the three of them spending the Lunar New Year together made Xu Zhengxuan incredibly happy. An old mans wish was to be with his family. In the past, Xu Zhengxuan could only hope for such a reunion when he saw other families get together. Things had changed at that moment as he was with his family right there and then.


    I am not going. You two can go together, Mo Liuxi said calmly.


    Xu Zhengxuans face hardened as if someone had just thrown cold water at his face. Liu Liuxi, are you still mad me? I really wanted to have you before


    Its not that, Mo Liuxi stopped Xu Zhengxuan right away as soon as he realized that the old man was about to start the same old speech all over again. Ive got something going on.


    Nothing is more important than being with your family, Xu Zhengxuan tried to persuade his son. Its not like you are spending New Year with your inws like your sister


    Well, Its exactly that  I am spending this New Year at my girlfriends house. Mo Liuxi stood up and said, So, you guys can spend it together.


    Although Mo Jin was kind of expecting that, she was still shocked that Mo Liuxi was going to have New Years dinner with their family.


    Xu Zhengxuan jumped out of the chair, surprised. You have a girlfriend? Why didnt I hear anything when I was teaching in school? Who is it? I dont think its a good idea. Having New Years dinner with their family while you are still in school? At least wait until youre a bit older. And also, you should bring her to our house so your mom and I could meet her first.


    Mo Jin nodded. She had known about it for a long time anyway. She just didnt tell anyone.


    You are not important. Whats important is for her parents to approve of us. Mo Liuxi said with no emotion.


    Mo Jin stayed silent.


    Xu Zhengxuan felt a little hurt. Why arent we important? We are your parents  we need to be in the decision of who you will spend the rest of your life with. If she isnt a good girl, your mother and I will not approve.


    You will approve. She is a wonderful girl  smart, nice to her parents, beautiful, kind, good at cooking, good with studying, and very capable. She is simply the perfect girl. You can spend this New Year yourselves. Ill bring her to our house sometime next year and discuss the wedding. I am not nning on throwing an engagement party. Ill give you a big red packet this New Year. You guys have fun. Finishing his speech, Mo Liuxi waved at them and went straight upstairs.


    Mo Jin and Xu Zhengxuan were stunned for quite a while until they finally processed what Mo Liuxi had just said. Xu Zhengxuan stuttered, Jin, what did he just say? Getting married next year?


    Yes, thats what he said. Mo Jin frowned, as she was also shocked by her sons decision.


    But hes only 23 next year. Are boys getting married at such a young age now? Xu Zhengxuan could not believe his ears. I thought boys who grew up overseas want to be free for a lot longer. I asked himst year, and he said that hes never getting married. This girl must be something. Shes got his head in the clouds. I am worried.


    Dont worry, hes a grown man, Mo Jin tried to calm Xu Zhengxuan. Theres no way to stop him anyway. Just sit back and prepare to have a daughter-inw.


    Xu Zhengxuan was speechless.


    Some time had passed since then.


    On the 29th, Mo Liuxi was busy packing his luggage. He could not go to his girlfriends house empty-handed when meeting his future inws. He must bring along some gifts for them; even more so for his daughter.


    Mo Liuxi filled three suitcases full. Just as he was about to leave, Mo Jin could not help but speak her mind, Youve prepared quite a lot. Ive never seen you being so nice to me though.

 Chapter 1451. Yan Yan Is a Girl

    Chapter 1451. Yan Yan Is a Girl


    Mo Liuxi thought for a while before answering, Ill find a wife who will be good to you.


    What if she isnt respectful to her elders? Mo Jin was satisfied with his reply, but she couldnt help but feel a little jealous.


    She will be. The woman Im marrying wont be anything less than perfect, said Mo Liuxi as he carried his stuff to the car.


    He had nned to drive over to Jiangxi.


    It was troublesome to take a flight together with Yan Su, especially since they had a lot of luggage.


    He went on his way.


    He drove over to pick up Yan Su. She was wearing a white knitted sweater and jeans, with a face mask covering her face, as she stood below her apartment waiting for him. Only her eyes could be seen and she had tworge suitcases next to her. She was tall and had a slender figurenothing too sexy, but she looked innocent like a college freshman.


    Mo Liuxi parked his car and opened the trunk. There wasnt much space left for her luggage so they had to put them in the back seat.


    You didnt have to bring so many gifts for my parents. We have everything at home. Yan Su didnt expect him to bring so much along with him, and she was a little taken aback, I bought plenty of stuff for them when I went overseas a couple of days ago.


    Its not nice to turn up empty-handed. I bought tonics and health supplements, as well as toys for Yan Yan, Mo Liuxi smiled. I bought a lot of toy carseven some Transformers ones. Do you think she will like them?


    Yan Su kept quiet.


    She tried hard not tough as she reminded him, Just in case you forgot, Yan Yan is a girl.


    I know, but dont girls like Transformers? Mo Liuxi said, confused. I really liked them but I couldnt afford to buy them when I was younger.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    She had to empathize with himit was his unfulfilled childhood dream after all.


    When she got into the car, she removed her mask and Mo Liuxi immediately leaned in for a kiss. After a quick peck, he looked at her and asked, Are you sad because of thepetition?


    Nope, Im happy that I was in the top ten. I didnt have high hopes anyway, Yan Suughed. I feel relieved, to be honest. It was so stressful and exhausting being in thatpetition. I just want to take a break for a couple of days and prepare for my tour. Oh right! For Lunar New Year, should I pay a visit to your parents as well?


    She felt a little nervous asking him. She wondered how shocked they would be if they found out that she was Mo Liuxis girlfriend.


    Youre not embarrassed now? Mo Liuxi grinned.


    Its only a matter of time Of course, you have to win my parents approval first, Yan Su looked at him with amusement. If they dont acknowledge you, theres nothing I can doI listen to whatever they say.


    Susu, thats not what we agreed on, Mo Liuxis said with a frozen look on his face.


    Ive already hurt my parents feelings twice. How could you ask me to hurt them again? Yan Su asked him back.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. After gathering his thoughts, he replied, My parents are going to Europe to spend the Lunar New Year. Ill bring you to see them when they are avable again.


    Is this the first time youre spending the holidays away from your mother? Did they say anything? Yan Su felt a little apologetic. All parents would want to spend the festive asion with their children.


    Yeah, I told them that I would bring my wife home next year to apany them, Mo Liuxi grinned. What do you say?


    Yan Su red at him with embarrassment before giving him the cold shoulder.

 Chapter 1452. Shes Bringing a Man Home This Year

    Chapter 1452. She''s Bringing a Man Home This Year


    Be good, alright? I bought this for you, Mo Liuxi said, taking out a carton of strawberry milk and handing it over to her.


    Yan Su took a few sips. The taste of sweet strawberry filled her mouth.


    It was the same as beforethere was always good food around with him.


    The drive to Jiangxi was eight hours, and given that it was peak hour as everyone else made their way home, they took their time on the road.


    In the afternoon, Yan Su received a call from Yan Lv, What time is your flight? Do you need me to pick you up from the airport?


    Theres no need to, Im getting someone to drive me back, said Yan Su as she nced over at the man next to her.


    Driving from Xia City would take quite a while. Who are you with? Are they dropping you off at our ce? Were spending New Years at the old vi, Yan Lv reminded her.


    I know. Ill probably arrive at night, Yan Su replied sheepishly.


    They continued their journey amid the traffic.


    Back in the Yan family home, Yan Lv turned and told Jiang Peiying about it. Yan Lv was sitting on a small stool with his head lowered, concentrating on his garlic peeling. He raised his head and asked, Do you think shesing home in her boyfriends car?


    Dont talk nonsense, Jiang Peiying red at him. I never heard anything about a boyfriend.


    Yan Lv said casually, If she dares bring a man back home, I will break his legs.


    Yan Jins eyes sparkled with excitement. He was willing to bet his 50 cent jerkies on his sister bringing a man home.


    At nine oclock, the family was watching television in the living room when Auntie Wu rushed in from the outside, Susu is home.


    Yeah, we know, she told us. Whats all the fuss about? Yan Lv stood up immediately and stopped smiling. Where is she? Why hasnt shee in yet? Does she have a lot of stuff with her? Did you help her with her stuff?


    Auntie Wu looked at his expression and said timidly, I dont think shell need my helpshe came home in a mans car. He said that he was her boyfriend and I didnt dare to let his car in. I wanted toe in and tell you first


    Before she could finish, Yan Lv mmed the table with his palm. Yan Jin nearly swallowed the pit of the plum he was eating.


    Rubbish, Yan Lv said furiously, She brought a baby homest year and shes bringing a man home this year. Does she want to drive me to my grave?


    After his rant, he grabbed the olddys cane and stalked out of the living room angrily.


    Hey, Yan Lv, calm down, Jiang Peiying chased after him quickly. Yan Jin was hot on his tail as well with his short legs, Finally, I feel like Im peaking in life


    Meanwhile, Mo Liuxi and Yan Su had just parked outside.


    Mo Liuxi was exhausted after driving the entire day. When they finally arrived at Yan Sus house, he still wasnt let in. His back ached and his bones were sore.


    Half a minuteter, a middle-aged man barged out of the house angrily, charging at them. He was holding a cane in one hand and was shaking it angrily. He shouted, Are you Yan Sus boyfriend? Well, I dont know you, so I wont beat you. Yan Su, get out of the car nowIm going to beat you to death. Have you forgotten what you promised mest year? Are you trying to kill me? Why do you keep doing this to me?


    Mo Liuxi was shocked. Although he expected Yan Sus father to be a tough nut to crack, he didnt expect him to be so ferocious. He didnt know that he would threaten to beat them up before they even went in.


    He quickly went up and stopped Yan Lv, Uncle, lets talk things over calmly. Susu is young, pretty, and singleits normal for someone like her to find a boyfriend. A lot of girls her age are married unless they couldnt find a good man.

 Chapter 1453. Im a Decent Boyfriend

    Chapter 1453. I''m a Decent Boyfriend


    When has she ever found herself a good boyfriend? Yan Lv looked disappointed and angry, She only finds men who are good-looking or good with their words. Shell never find herself a good man.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. Yan Su must seem extremely unreliable in front of her parents. Now, he had to bear the brunt of her past mistakes. Well Im a decent boyfriend.


    I dont think so, Yan Lv smirked, You look about the same age as my daughter and youre driving a sports car with your hair styled and all. Youre obviously of those rich kids who squander their fathers wealth. And Im guessing youre a yboy as well.


    No, Im a director Mo Liuxis replied with a stiff upper lip. He couldnt believe that the man had justpared him to a sleazy yboy. Yes, he was handsome and good-looking, but thatparison was an insult.


    Oh, director, Yan Lv nodded his head mockingly. Youre the kind of director who sleeps with female actresses and exploits them with your status and power, right? Ive read plenty of articles on men like you


    Mo Liuxis mouth twitched. He detested people who tarnished the reputation of his profession. Im not one of those, Im a genuine, decent man.


    Hubby isnt he isnt he the one who got into a scandal with our daughter in Venice? Mo Liuxi? Jiang Peiying spoke up after staring at him for quite some time.


    Oh, I remember now. No wonder you looked familiar. You are that little brat! Yan Lv was even more furious now. Arent you younger than my daughter?


    He couldnt be bothered to look at Mo Liuxi anymore. He shouted at Yan Su who was still in the car, Come out now. Look at you. Youve gotten even bolder now, dating someone younger than yourself. When are you going to call it quits? When you see your mother and I six feet under?


    Yan Su got out of the car reluctantly as her father walked over to her with big strides. Mo Liuxi quickly pulled her behind him, shielding her, Uncle, lets talk things through calmly. We can have a civilized chat. Im here to give my Lunar New Year greetings. Auntie, talk to him, please. Just hear us out. Listen to our story.


    What greetings? My blood pressure is so damn high right now, Im about to go to the hospital! Yan Lv shot back, exasperated.


    Alright, Jiang Peiying interrupted them. She was in a foul mood as well but standing there and shouting at each other wouldnt have solved anything. Cut it out, all our neighbors are back for the New Yearwe look like a huge joke right now. Lets talk inside. Drive your car in.


    Although Yan Lv was furious, he still cared about his reputation. He inhaled sharply, then proceeded to walk back to the vi.


    Mo Liuxi was worried that Yan Lv would hit Yan Su so he quickly dragged her back to the car as they drove closer to the house.


    After he had parked the car, he frowned and said to Yan Su, You never told me how fierce your dad was.


    Yan Su lowered her head in silence.


    Mo Liuxi said helplessly, Its okay, I understand. You must seem extremely unreliable in front of your dad, because of what happened with Shi Xiang. You had a good time back then but youre leaving me in such a difficult situation right now. Your father thinks of me as a despicable animal, even though Im nothing but a gentleman.


    Well, arent you an animal? Yan Su rebuked him indignantly, Why else would you drag me to the bedroom every time we meet? Besides, I would never have gotten pregnant if it wasnt for you.


    Mo Liuxi grinned. Thats true. My sperms are too strongbullseye the first time round without even trying!

 Chapter 1454. I am Yan Yans Biological Father

    Chapter 1454. I am Yan Yan''s Biological Father


    Yan Su kept quiet.


    She finally burst intoughter, If my dad asks why Yan Yan is your child, you better answer him that way.


    It was now Mo Liuxis turn to be awkwardly silent.


    If he said that, he might get beaten to death by Yan Lv.


    When he got out, Mo Liuxi unloaded all their luggage from the back of the car. He was inexperienced when it came to visiting his future inws. He had been analyzing how Nian Junting managed to win Mo Jin over so quickly in the past, and he concluded that it was because had really thick skin and was good at kissing ass.


    Thick skin was all that Mo Liuxi had; he wasnt good at sweet-talking. He would do his best though, for Yan Sus sake.


    Uncle, Auntie, I wasnt quite sure what to buy you so I only bought some tonics and health supplements. I hope theye in handy, Mo Liuxi smiled cordially and politely. I bought lots of goodies and snacks for our ultra-handsome little Jinjin over here.


    Yan Jin rolled his eyeshe didnt use to suck up to him like this. He remembered that he couldnt even be bothered to answer him in the past.


    We dont need these things, said Yan Lv coldly. There wasnt any warmth in his tone of voice. Leave now with all your things. Stop bothering Yan Su from now on. Let me give it to you straightI will not approve of the two of you together. You are way too immature.


    Mo Liuxi simply ignored what he had just said and went on with his introduction, Thest box is filled with presents and clothes for Yan Yan.


    Yan Lu and Jiang Peiying were stunnedthey didnt expect Mo Liuxi to know that Yan Su had a child. However, it wouldnt have been too far fetched for him to know either since she had brought him back home for the Lunar New Year. She must have expected him to find out sooner orter.


    That doesnt mean that well ept you even if you have epted Yan Yan, Jiang Peiying said calmly. Look at how young you are. Boys your age are immature, so how can we trust that you will treat the child well


    I will treat Yan Yan well, because I am Yan Yans biological father, Mo Liuxi said enthusiastically.


    What? Yan Lv and Jiang Peiying both gasped. They both stared at Mo Liuxi before turning to re at Yan Su.


    Is it true? Yan Lv pointed his trembling finger at Yan Su.


    Yan Su nodded. Jiang Peiying said, No wonder he looked strangely familiar the first time I saw his photos. He does look a lot like Yan Yan.


    So what if they look alike? Yan Lu shouted sternly, Did he take care of Yan Su for a single day when she was pregnant? Where was he when Yan Su gave birth to Yan Yan? We were the ones who brought her up. He didnt even pay a single penny for her. He has no right to be Yan Yans father. Good its good that youre here. Ive been holding this grudge against the damn man who impregnated my daughter for far too long. Im going to teach you a lesson today


    Initially, he had only wanted to teach Yan Su a lesson, but after all that, he couldnt wait to give Mo Liuxi a long-deserved beating.


    Uncle Mo Liuxi said as he quickly grabbed a washboard from the back of his car and knelt on it. Yan Lvs cane was frozen in midair, What are you doing?


    Yan Su was stunned as wellshe didnt expect him to pull such a trick.


    This is my apology this is the washboard that has been passed down to every man in my family. Every time my father or my brother-inw does something wrong, they would kneel on this, Mo Liuxi said seriously. You are my elder, and you are Yan Sus father. I should be kneeling to show my sincerest apologies, but given the situation, it would be more appropriate for me to be kneeling on this washboard.

 Chapter 1455. So… Susu Did You Wrong Then?

    Chapter 1455. So�� Susu Did You Wrong Then?


    Yan Jin rolled his eyes while Yan Su was leftpletely speechless; he was shameless, without a doubt. She did remember his family having a washboard but it was by no means a family heirloom.


    The washboard looked old and usedhe might have stolen it from Xu Zhengxuan.


    Yan Lv was held speechless for a moment before continuing his rant, Stop putting on an act in front of me. Ive seen plenty of young people like youalways full of big talk.


    Uncle, youve really misunderstood me, Mo Liuxi grimaced. If I knew that I had a daughter, I would never have let Yan Sue back here alone, pregnant. To be honest, Im also a victim hereI didnt even know when Susu and I


    He paused and looked over at Yan Jin. His parents knew what he was referring to.


    Uncle, Auntie, look, I was Yan Sus ssmate in university. Last year, we were both at a friends birthday party and she had just gotten over her previous rtionship. She was in a bad mood and I had a little too much to drink that night. Somehow, she pounced on me that night and she disappeared the next morning. I didnt even know who I was with that night, Mo Liuxi said as he looked over at Yan Su indignantly.


    Yan Sus jaw dropped and before she could even say anything, Mo Liuxi continued, Susu, tell them, did I tell anything but the truth?


    Yan Su was unable to respond.


    He was telling the truth.


    But how could he make her look like a horny pervert in front of her own parents? Although she was the one who made the first move, he quickly took over and dominated that night.


    That was my first time, Mo Liuxi continued with his head lowered, If I knew it was her, I would have taken responsibility. The fact is that I had fallen in love with her long agoshe was my sisters roommate and best friend. My sister knew that she had her heart broken and she asked me to take good care of her. In the beginning, I treated her like a senior but I slowly fell in love with her, even when I thought that she was in love with Shi Xiang. We met again this year in Venice for the film festival and thats when I realized that I fell even more in love with her. When I found out about our child, I decided to treat both her and our daughter well. I love Susu very much, and I would very much like to have your blessings, Auntie and Uncle.


    When he was done, he looked up emotionally at the two elders with his deep colored eyes and chiseled face.


    Yan Su had no chance to interrupt at all. She had to give it up to himit was no wonder he was an award-winning director. The plot truly was exceptional


    He made up an excellent speech without telling a single lie. Of course, he deftly excluded what didnt serve his narrative, effectively making himself look like a saint whose only sin was being madly in love.


    So Susu did you wrong then? Jiang Peiying asked awkwardly after digesting everything. Yan Su did tell her that she slept with someone when she was drunk. The pieces seemed to fit, so whatever he said must have been the truth.


    After listening to his story, she felt a little ashamed because of her daughters behavior.


    Yan Su,e here now and tell meis he telling the truth? Yan Lv turned and shouted at Yan Su.


    Yan Su winced when her father shouted at her. She didnt know if she should go along with the story or not. It seemed like she had to bear the brunt of this one.


    Susu, you can add whatever you would like to say. Mo Liuxi sighed, magnifying his perceived tolerance and kindness.


    Yan Su couldnt say anything.


    If she had brought up An Ning, it would have just made things moreplicated and she would have dug a deeper hole for herself.


    Its its all true, Yan Su said, reluctantly agreeing to the narrative that had beenid out before her.

 Chapter 1456. Turning Around and Vomit

    Chapter 1456. Turning Around and Vomit


    You Yan Lv pointed at her with his finger shaking with anger.


    The Yan family had been educators and schrs for generations. Everyone had followed suit and held the family name in high esteem. He too had groomed his daughter to be sophisticated, prudent, and dignified from a very young age.


    But looking at her then, it seemed like everything was for naught. Not only did she elope, but she also had a baby out of wedlockeven daring to pounce on a man.


    He couldnt understand how he had managed to produce such an offspring.


    Was she really his flesh and blood?


    Im sorry, Dad. Yan Su hated Mo Liuxi to the core now. He had just thrown her under the bus. She was so ashamed of making such a rash mistake in the first ce. We do love each other now


    Do you like his personality or just his looks? Yan Lu couldnt help but interrupt, Hes younger than you, it wont be easy.


    Uncle, Im willing to be with her even if she only likes me for my looks, Mo Liuxi answered quickly.


    Im thankful for my good looks. They say that women dress up to look good for their men, but I believe its the same the other way round. I love Yan Sushes brave, loyal, and an all round wonderful girl. She once said that she was going to wait for Shi Xiang, and even though he was cold and distant to her, she still waited for him with devotion. Other girls wouldve given up a long time ago. Although her heart was in pain when Shi Xiang abandoned her, she somehow found the strength to pull herself together, showing her strong and tenacious nature. Besides, shes extremely talented tooIve never met another girl who takes her learning so seriously. Even though shes popr and sessful now, shes still trying her best to learn and improve. Shes friendly and easy to get along with as well. Shes pretty but humble, and shes able to be true to herself in this entertainment industry that is full of temptations. Its not easy toe across a girl like her.


    He said all of that in a single breath.


    The Yan family was stunned as Yan Su looked on at him, puzzled. It was no wonder he was good at scriptwritinghis skills wereparable to the famed novelist, Miss Qiong Yao.


    Her parents were moved by what he just said.


    You you are right about that, Jiang Peiying nodded her head, knowing very well about her daughters ws.


    Given the history of her rtionships, there wouldnt have been any man who would ept her, but all of her ws seemed like strengths in his eyes.


    She was relieved and grateful to hear that as a mother.


    Yan Lvs wasnt as fierce as before, but he still said, This fe is good at talking, isnt he? Although you say these wonderful things now, how I can be sure that you wont change your mind about my daughter a few years down the line? Besides, you are too young to be a fatheryou are practically a child yourself. Men mature muchter anyway


    I wont.


    Mo Liuxi said confidently, I was raised by a single parent. My mother was the one who brought me up all by herself. She poured her blood, sweat, and tears into raising me and I started doing chores and earning money from a young age. I feel for those kids raised by single parents. I made a promise that if I ever had a wife or child in the future, I would never let them suffer not even for a single day. I want to give my child aplete family. I dont want her to grow up like me.


    Yan Su couldnt believe what he was saying. She was so close to turning around and vomit.


    Was this the same man that she knew? The cold and venomous Mo Liuxi?


    He really should have gone into acting instead.


    Oh, really? Jiang Peiying looked at him sympathetically. You dont have a father then?

 Chapter 1457. Her Daughter Must Be Heartless

    Chapter 1457. Her Daughter Must Be Heartless


    I have one now. Mo Liuxi exined, My parents divorced when they were much younger due to a misunderstanding. My mother brought me overseas after that, and when we came back, they got back together again. You must know my father, Xu Zhengxuan from An City. His court case made the headlines everywherehe was wrongfully sent to prison.


    Oh, so you are Xu Zhengxuans son. Yan Lv wasnt as harsh on him anymore.


    They all hated Xu Zhengxuan in the past, but after he cleared his name, they realized that everything was a misunderstanding.


    Xu Zhengxuan was a principal involved in the art scene. The Xu family was also well known as educators.


    Yes, thats right. Mo Liuxi noticed that Yan Lvs expression had changed so he quickly added, My father is a professor in Xia City now.


    It was obvious that Yan Lv had a good impression of Xu Zhengxuan.


    Your father went through a lot. Back in the day, he was the principal at the academy, Yan Lu remarked.


    Yeah. Mo Liuxi nodded his head. Thank goodness my dad is a simple man whos easily satisfied. Although his position is a little lower now, he is happy with the current state of things, given how much he had gone through. He is happy that our family has reunited and were all happy and healthy together. He still doesnt know about Yan Sus childhe only knows that Ive found a girlfriend. He did ask me to bring her home so that we can get married but I thought it would be better to ask for your permission first.


    Jiang Peiying was relieved to know that his family seemed to be okay with everything and that Mo Liuxi was treating them with a lot of respect. She said, Sounds like you are nning to get married this year


    I wish I could marry her right now, but of course I will need your blessing and Susus consent. Honestly, I dont want to wait too long cause Im afraid of losing Susu, said Mo Liuxi as he looked at Yan Su lovingly.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    She had goosebumps all over.


    Jiang Peiying looked at her daughter and noticed that she wasnt moved at all. She thought that her daughter must be heartless either that or she was still notpletely over Shi Xiang.


    She felt sympathetic towards Mo Liuxi.


    It is humbling to love someone unconditionally.


    Well, no matter what, you are still Yan Yans father. Its freezing cold outside,e on in, Jiang Peiying said.


    Yan Lv nodded his head and grunted, Come on in.


    Mo Liuxi walked inside with all his luggage. When Yan Su tried to help, he said, Ill do the heavy lifting. Go in and get warm, dont catch a cold out here.


    Yan Su let him be since he was so eager to showoff.


    Yan Jin walked over to Mo Liuxi and gave him a big thumbs up, Xixi, your boot-licking skills are amazing.


    He waddled off after that.


    Mo Liuxi tried his best not to kick his *ss.


    When he was done bringing in all the luggage, an olddy was sitting in the living room. She looked like she was in her eighties and Yan Su introduced him to her, Granny, this is my boyfriend, Mo Liuxi.


    Oh. The olddy squinted her eyes to look at Mo Liuxi, He looks like a good looking fe. When did you get a divorce?


    Mo Liuxi kept quiet.


    Yan Su exined, My grandma is getting old so she gets a little confused sometimes. She always mistakes me for my cousin.


    She turned and exined to her grandmother, I am Susu!


    Oh, Susu, didnt you elope with a man? Granny Yan smiled and held her hands, Youre home now? Is this Shi Xiang whom your father has talked about?


    Mo Liuxis awkward silence intensified.


    He had a feeling that he wouldnt have a pleasant conversation with Granny Yan.

 Chapter 1458. Yan Yan, I am Your Father

    Chapter 1458. Yan Yan, I am Your Father


    Yan Su bent down and said to Granny Yan, This is Mo Liuxi.


    Oh, Granny Yan grabbed Yan Sus hand, youve changed your boyfriend. Good! Your father said that Shi Xiang wasnt a reliable guy. Its good that youvee to your senses.


    Yan Su grimaced.


    Mo Liuxi had no intention of chatting with Granny Yan as he was eagerly looking at the baby crib in the corner of the room.


    His darling baby girl was in that crib.


    He took long strides towards it, but Yan Jin stopped him in his tracks. Although the little guy was short and small, his back was straight and his chest was puffed out. You can see Yan Yan, but lets be clear on one thingyou cant steal our little princess away!


    Yan Su and Jiang Peiying got nervous upon hearing thatthey did raise Yan Yan after all. They would be devastated if the childs father wanted to take her away. They wouldnt know if he would take good care of her either, as the child had grown attached to them.


    Uncle, Aunty, please dont misunderstand. I just want to take a look at her, Mo Liuxi exined. I know that you both have put a lot of love and care into raising her. I dont have the right to take her away just because I am her father. Although shes young, she must have her own thoughts as well. Ill try to get close to her and win your approval. I know Ive done too little. Ive talked it over with Yan Su, and I think its fine for the child to keep her surname now. Yan Yan is a good namevery sophisticated.


    He evenplimented Jiang Peiying who named the child, and she was relieved. Yan Lv had a pleasant impression of the man too. Although Mo Liuxi was young, he had good sense, and the fact that he was willing to keep Yan Yans surname spoke volumes of him. Many men were unreasonable about things like that, and Mo Liuxi seemed a lot more open-minded and generous.


    Were just worried about the child, Jiang Peiying said. Although Yan Yan is small, shes really clingy, especially when she wakes up. She will wail and cry if shes around unfamiliar faces and cant find the people she knows. I cant take it when children cry.


    Yan Jin pouted, Ma, howe youre ok with me crying?


    Because youre a boy, Jiang Peiying shot back at him.


    Yan Jin sulked.


    Were boys not children too?


    Mo Liuxiughed as he cautiously approached the crib. Little Yan Yan was fast asleep, and her chubby face was pink and rosy. She looked like a baby doll with a serene smile on her faceshe must have been dreaming of something good.


    His heart melted as his hands trembled.


    That was his daughter


    He finally understood Nian Juntings obsession with having a baby girl.


    Yan Yan suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him. Mo Liuxi was a little taken aback before he said softly, Hi, Yan Yan, I am your Papa.


    Yan Yan blinked her big round eyes and started wailing.


    Yan Su quickly lifted Yan Yan into her arms. Although it had been a while since shest saw her, they video-called often and they were familiar with each other. Connected by a natural bond, Yan Yan stopped crying instantly in her mothers arms as she sprawled on Yan Sus chest.


    Mo Liuxi was envious. Susu, can I carry her?


    Although Yan Su couldnt bear to watch her daughter cry, she still handed her over when Mo Liuxi looked over at her woefully. Before Mo Liuxi could even hold her, Yan Yan burst into tears again.


    Mo Liuxi was dejected.


    Shes scared of strangers. Take it slow, Yan Su consoled him.

 Chapter 1459. Its My First Time Being a Father After All

    Chapter 1459. It''s My First Time Being a Father After All


    Mo Liuxi suddenly had an idea. He fished out the gift that he had brought. Baby, Daddy bought a Transformers toy for you. It can even dance!


    Yan Yan looked at the figurine and yawned, showing no interest whatsoever.


    Yan Su took out the pink doll that she had boughtYan Yans eyes immediately lit up as she grabbed onto the dolls hand and swung it around. She wasughing happily.


    Mo Liuxi was frustrated. Yan Jin walked over to him and stared at the Transformers toy in his hands and said, Yan Yan is a baby girl, she doesnt like these things. She likes pink and soft toys. Her hands are small too, she wont be able to carry that. You can leave all your toys with meIll teach her how to y with these when she grows a little older.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. The kid was a little imp.


    Jiang Peiying pinched his eyes, Do you have your eyes on other peoples toys now? Didnt I already buy you lots of toys?


    Mama, yours arent as cool as these Yan Jin said pitifully.


    Jiang Peiying said nothing.


    Mo Liuxiughed and said, Its alright, Aunty. I must have bought the wrong toys. Its my first time being a father after all. Im inexperienced. I didnt know that girls only liked pink and soft toys. Yan Jin can have all of these instead. Oh right, I bought toys for Yan Jin too.


    He took the toys outthere was a remote-controlled airne, robots, and all sorts of cool things. Jiang Peiying and Yan Lv felt bad as they were a bit too harsh to him earlier on.


    Why did you buy so many things? What a waste of money, Yan Lu said with mixed feelings.


    Its ok, I like buying toys for children. I never had these things when I was younger. Even though I have the money now, it doesnt make sense for me to buy these toys for myself. Im happy to buy these toys for Yan Sus little brotherits almost like fulfilling a childhood dream. Mo Liuxi looked at Yan Jin fondly, Jin is cute, smart, and intelligent. I quite like him.


    Yan Jin shuddered.


    The guy was so mushyhe wasnt anything like that when theyst met in Beijing.


    For the sake of his Transformers figurines, he leaped forward and kissed Mo Liuxi on his cheek. Thank you, big brother


    Mo Liuxi was made ufortable by his gesture; he only wanted to get closer to his own daughter.


    Jiang Peiying looked at Mo Liuxi sympathetically. She was a mother, and she had a soft spot for kids with a tough childhoodthose without a fathers love.


    Its gettingte, you can stay over tonight. We can talk about things tomorrow, she said after a while. Is it alright if you dont go home for the Lunar New Year?


    I told my parents that Im spending this Lunar New Year at my girlfriends ce. They are going to Europe to travel, Mo Liuxi said. If you and Uncle insist on me going home, I would probably have to spend the holidays by myself. Aunty, would you please let me stay for New Years? I can help out around the house. I can do many thingsI can even cook. Im good at cleaning the house too.


    Jiang Peiying was shocked. You can cook?


    Yeah, you can ask Susu, Mo Liuxiughed. When we neighbors, I would make lobster, steamed crabs, and other dishes for her all the time. Dessert too. I can bake cakes and all. Its my first time in Jiangxi, but I heard that the local cuisine here pays more attention to the natural taste of the ingredients and that the dishes are fragrant and vourful. Ive been wanting to try it for a long time now.


    Yan Lv nodded his head. Our local cuisine is tasty. People usually only enjoy Sichuan food but Jiangxi dishes are just as delicious.

 Chapter 1460. Its All Worth It for You

    Chapter 1460. It''s All Worth It for You


    Mo Liuxiughed. Jiangxi is a good ce. Nice people and a good location. Theres the famous Jingdezhen city and the Jinggang mountain. They are all beautiful ces. This town as well reminds me of a quaint Jiangnan town by the riverside.


    Yan Lv had grown up immersed in the beauty of the region, against the cultural backdrop of his era. He was d to hear someonepliment Jiangxi like that, You can sleep in the guest room tonight, but you havent gotten my approval yet. I need to observe you a little more to gauge your actual performance, despite everything that youve said. I dont necessarily have to give you my blessing just because you are Yan Yans father. Marriage is forever, and you are both still young and immature. As elders and parents, we have to evaluate things carefully, especially when ites to Yan Su. I really dont trust her taste.


    Thank you for giving me a chance, Uncle, Mo Liuxi nodded his head.


    The atmosphere at the Yan family home had finally calmed down.


    That night, Yan Su slept with their daughter while Mo Liuxi could only watch enviously from afar as the two of them cuddled together. Although he really wanted to sleep with both of them, he knew that he shouldnt push the limits on his first night with the Yan family. He said to Yan Su, Susu, just call me if Yan Yan needs to drink milk in the middle of the nightIll go make it for her. Its cold now, you shouldnte out.


    Its fine, Yan Lv interrupted him and said cautiously, Youre young adults. Who knows if you end up staying in their room after going in. Let me tell it to you straightI dont care what happened before, but seeing as how youre both still unmarried, you better not try anything funny.


    Im just worried that Yan Su would be too tired to feed Yan Yan but Ill listen to you, Uncle, Mo Liuxi replied respectfully.


    Back in his room, Mo Liuxi couldnt fall asleep, even though he had been driving for an entire day. He was physically exhausted but he wanted to video call Yan Su after he showered.


    Yan Su was ying with their daughter on the bed and Mo Liuxi could hear Yan Yans giggles from across the screen. He desperately wanted to run to the room next door and kiss both mother and daughter on their cheeks. Susu, what did you think of my performance tonight? he asked.


    Yan Su was amused, her face embodying her expression perfectly. You really went all out with your acting, I cant believe you even brought a washboard along. And you managed to shove all the responsibility onto me. Now, in my parents eyes, Im the cold-hearted girl who slept with you and ran away.


    Susu, I was telling the truth, you did run away after sleeping with me. Mo Liuxi grinned, his voice maic. Or do you want me to tell your father about An Ning? About how I was the victim in that story as well


    Yan Su kept quiet.


    Susu, you have to understand why your parents took my word for it, Mo Liuxi said. Your parents must think that you are a gullible woman who has poor taste in men. Im being dragged down by your bad reputation now. Im just trying my best to make a good impression. Ive never sucked up to anyone in my life before, and this is the first time Im doing it.


    Yan Su smiled as she said, Although its your first time, you were so good at it that I think you can be the textbook example now.


    Why, thank you. Its all worth it for you, Mo Liuxi said gently.


    Yan Su was caught off guard. She felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew how much effort he was putting in to be with her. Go to bed now. Sleep well.


    The night went by peacefully.


    The next morning, Yan Su woke up first; Yan Yan was still asleep. After washing up, she went out and found her whole family sitting at the table eating rice noodles. Mo Liuxi wasnt there sitting with them. There were eggs, Siew Mai, and fried dough-sticks on the table.


    Come on and have a bite, Jiang Peiying waved her over. Xiao Mo made all of these. The rice noodles taste delicious. And so do the Siew Mai and fried dough-sticks. He is a really good cook.

 Chapter 1461

    Chapter 1461


    Yan Su was surprised.


    She knew that his noodles were tasty, but she didnt know that he could make rice noodles too. His siew mai looked exactly like the ones sold in stores, so she had doubts about whether they were homemade or not.


    It is pretty tasty, Yan Lvplimented him. I thought he was just braggingst night. I didnt expect him to really know how to cook.


    Mm-hmm. Yan Jin slurped down the noodles while nodding his head. Its even better than Moms!


    You brat, Jiang Peiying red at him. Auntie Wu told us that he woke up at six in the morning to make breakfast for all of us. When we woke up, the food was all ready to eat.


    He is pretty good at cooking, said Yan Su, nodding her head. Hes very picky about food, so he tries all kinds of recipes and cooks his own dishes.


    Jiang Peiying looked up at her worriedly, Are you captivated by his good looks and his good food?


    Of course not.


    The truth was that she really loved his stone-pot congee.


    Susu, youre awake. Come have some breakfast, Mo Liuxi said as he walked out of the kitchen with a stack of pancakes in his hands. I made some North-eastern ky pancakes as wellnot sure if youll like how they taste.


    Jiang Peiying looked at it and she was astonished, They look just like the ones they sell in stores!


    Try it, Mo Liuxi smiled as he ced the dish on the table. He dragged a chair over for Yan Su and poured some soy milk for her. Baby, I havent made breakfast for you in a long time. Dig in.


    Yan Lv coughed and nearly choked on his food. He stared at them with his eyes wide open.


    He thought to himself, Are all youngsters this cheesy nowadays?


    Yan Su blushed and wished that he could be a little more reserved in front of her parents.


    Whats the matter? Mo Liuxi acted surprised. Susu gets so busy and she has to travel for work all the time. Its difficult for me to find time to spend with her.


    Oh, oh, Jiang Peiying nodded her head.


    They continued enjoying the breakfast that Mo Liuxi had prepared.


    After breakfast, Yan Yan woke up. Mo Liuxi had quickly learned how to prepare his daughters bathwater and proceeded to wash her face and buttocks. He clumsily changed her diapers after.


    It was his first time doing it so he did it slowly. Yan Yan got a little impatient and started wailing.


    Mo Liuxi panicked immediately and mumbled, Dont cry, my darling baby. Daddy is just a little silly and clumsy


    Yan Su found the whole scene funny butforting at the same time. He looked like a pathetic servant in front of his daughter, very unlike his usual cool and aloof self.


    When he was done, Mo Liuxi eagerly showed off to her, Look Susu, I know how to change diapers now. Its pretty simple.


    Yan Yan pooped again not too long after, so he had to grab some wet wipes to clean her up. As he was cleaning her up, he mumbled to himself again, My darling babys poo-poo is not smelly at allit smells so good. Daddy doesnt mind at all


    Yan Su was speechless.


    At around eleven oclock, several of her rtives hade over to visit. She had many aunties, and the vi was crowded with people.


    Yan Su was famous nowall her rtives were vying to get a selfie with her so that they could show off to their friends online.


    Yan Su was happy to cooperate.


    Jiang Peiying was ying mahjong with a group of aunties in the living room. One of Yan Sus aunties said curiously, Hey, its strange, isnt it? How do you have the time to sit down and y games with us this year? Yan Lv isnt helping out either. Are you sure Auntie Wu can manage by herself?


    Jiang Peiying smiled a little. Whats the rush? There will be food on the table for sure.


    Great Uncle was confused, I just went to the bathroom, and I think I saw a young man doing some stir-frying back there with Auntie Wu. He looks pretty big and tall.

 Chapter 1462. Yan Su Was Extremely Moved

    Chapter 1462. Yan Su Was Extremely Moved


    Everyone was intrigued by what Great Uncle had just shared, Who is it? Is it Susus boyfriend? The boy that she brought home?


    Stop talking and start ying, said Jiang Peiying as she took a tile.


    Youre not denying it, so is it true then? Yan Sus Auntie was invigorated. Is it the professor that you were going to introduce to Yan Su? You said that he was the son of Yan Lvs friend


    Nope, Jiang Peiying said. Youll meet himterIll introduce him to all of you. Hes still busy cooking in the kitchen now, so dont go swarming in there. We all still have to have lunch after all.


    Great Uncleughed and said, Wed much rather go to your Yan Sus wedding banquet. By the way, you should be careful with Susus boyfriendwere all so worried about her. She had a baby out of wedlock after all.


    Dont worry, everyone will be watching out for her. Jiang Peiying sighed. I would never ept anyone lower than our standards.


    The elders conversation had made its way to some of Yan Sus older cousins. Yan Mi put her arm around Yan Su and asked, Wow, are you back together with Shi Xiang now?


    Oh God, is Shi Xiang in the kitchen? eximed Yan Sus younger cousin, who was a die-hard of Shi Xiangs. She shrieked with excitement, I want to go kiss him and hug him.


    Its not Shi Xiang, Yan Su shook her head.


    Why isnt it him? said her younger cousin, disappointed. Shi Xiang is so good looking, he is almost like a god. Second Uncle has no taste at allhe should never have stopped you from getting together with Shi Xiang in the first ce. If he didnt, Shi Xiang might have be my brother-inw already.


    You guys go ahead, Im going to the washroom, Yan Su excused herself and slipped away.


    In the kitchen, Mo Liuxi wore an apron around his waist, checking on the steamed pork he had put in the steamer earlier on. The pork was honey-golden brown and it looked tender and delicious. A mouth-watering scent wafted through the entire kitchen.


    He sprinkled some fresh spring onions over the dish and the food looked as tantalizing as anything a restaurant would have on its menu.


    Did you really make this? said Yan Su as she popped over his shoulder.


    Mo Liuxi turned and looked at her affectionately, Do you want to have a taste?


    Yan Su grabbed a pair of chopsticks and tasted the porkit was fatty but not too rich. The scent of the pork was heavenly. Its delicious!


    Auntie Wu who was washing vegetables on the sideughed, He really made all of these. Ive been just helping with the prep work. I was a little worried initially but I didnt expect him to be so experienced in the kitchen. His knife skills are far better than mine. Ive been in the kitchen for decades but I dare say his culinary skills areparable to mine.


    Yan Su was shocked. She whispered to Mo Liuxi, I have never seen you cook Jiangxi dishes before.


    Mo Liuxi grinned and whispered into her ear, I learned it after Christmas. I wouldnt dare toe back home with you if I wasnt well prepared for all this.


    Yan Su whispered back, Dont you have sses to go to? You have to get ready to shoot a new movie next year as well.


    There is always time. I learned these dishes at night, Mo Liuxiughed. I hired a renowned Jiangxi chef to teach me all of this. It took me about two hours every night. Anyway, I already knew how to cook in the first ce, so its not too difficult for methe cuisine isnt tooplicated either. The freshness of the ingredients ys a big role in the taste.


    Liuxi Yan Su was moved. She bit on her lower lip. But it must have been so hard on you.


    Im willing to work hard for you, Mo Liuxi said gently. You are from Jiangxi and you must enjoy the food from your hometown. Its a good investment since I can now cook all of your favorite hometown dishes for you when we get married.


    Thank you. Yan Su was extremely moved. Ignoring Auntie Wu, who was still in the kitchen with them, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist and tiptoed to give him a peck on the cheeks. She said softly, I havent had such an amazing Lunar New Year in years.

 Chapter 1463. This Is My Boyfriend, Mo Liuxi

    Chapter 1463. This Is My Boyfriend, Mo Liuxi


    Mo Liuxi looked at her with a whirlwind of emotions. His eyes shone brighter than they ever had.


    It was the same for him.


    In the past, he only had Mo Jin to celebrate the Lunar New Year Festival with. Although it had been nice ever since his family had reunited, everyone had their partners, and he had been without her. How could he ever have had a good New Year?


    Oh,e on, Auntie Wu teased them, the two of you are getting all intimate in front of me. I should get myself outta here!


    Yan Sus face blushed red. Umm Please carry on cooking. Ill stop bothering you guys.


    However, when she reached the door, she still couldnt stop worrying. Liuxi, there are quite a lot of guests herewe need to have food enough for at least tworge tables. Can you handle it?


    Is there anything that I cant handle? Mo Liuxi answered confidently.


    Yan Su didnt say anything after that.


    The kitchen duo continued preparing food for everyone.


    At noon, Yan Su was busy setting the table for lunch. Everyone was singing praises as elegantly prepared dishes were brought out one by one.


    Auntie smiled. Peiying, it looks like your future son-inws culinary skills are much better than yours. This Sanbeiji smells so amazing and look at how vibrantly colored this Dongpo pork is! Looking at these dishes just makes my mouth water!


    And the hand-pulled beef! I want to eat it! I want to eat! said the little cousin at the edge of the table, salivating.


    Hearing the waves ofpliments, Jiang Peiying and Yan Lv felt their pride returning. Before that, Yan Sus elopement had embarrassed them in front of everyone. For people their age, their children were their pride; their daughters private life was a far cry from what a parent could pride themselves on.


    Now, they finally felt as if they could lift their heads high.


    Jiang Peiying couldnt stop smiling as she said, He does cook very well. He even prepared a full breakfast spread for us this morning.


    Wow, you must be really enjoying life right now, Auntie joked. Susu, you must properly introduce your boyfriend to uster.


    I will, Yan Su smiled and nodded.


    After almost all the dishes had been brought out and everyone had started eating, Mo Liuxi came out holding a te of steaming-hot stir-fried vegetables.


    He took off the apron to reveal a ck down jacket paired with a grey turtleneck sweater on the inside, jeans, and Dr. Marten boots. Even though the red scarf on his neck was a bit too much, it went well with the outfit and even highlighted his pronounced featuresthick eyebrows, high nose bridge, thin lips that exuded sexiness, and his model-like build. The noisy dining room instantly quietened down.


    Yan Mi forced herself to swallow the meat in her mouth and was the first to speak, Susu, isnt your boyfriend that very popr director Mo Liuxi?


    Yan Su nodded and looked at her parents before introducing him to everyone, This is my boyfriend, Mo Liuxi.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her with a gentle gaze. That was the best thing he had ever heard in his life. In the past, he didnt like having a high profile or attracting attention. At that moment, he loved hearing her tell others that he was her boyfriend.


    Liuxi, this is my uncle Yan Su introduced him to her family members one by one. With Mo Liuxis exceptional memory, he memorized them instantly and greeted them one by one.


    After the rtives had gotten over the shock, Auntie eximed, I saw some gossip about you two in the past and I thought that it was impossible, what with his age and all Who knew that the two of you really got together. This young man is really good-lookingeven more so than in the photos.


    Mo Liuxi smiled as he said, Susu is only older than me by a little more than two years. Isnt there a saying that its auspicious to marry ady three years older? I dont think theres that big a gap between us.

 Chapter 1464. Bully Her My Whole Life

    Chapter 1464. Bully Her My Whole Life


    I remember that time when Susu went up against Ye Yunyang even Ji Nuanyi took to Weibo to support her, but what did you say back then? Youre always bullying our Susu, Yan Mi said disappointedly.


    Hearing that, Mo Liuxis facial expression grew even more affectionate. Thats rightI intend to bully her my whole life.


    Despite his words, his eyes were practically dripping honey as he gazed at Yan Su. For one reason or another, the people present could feel that they were showing off their rtionship, like a couple shamelessly in love.


    Exasperated, Yan Su rolled her eyes and exined, Actually, all those people who spoke up for me, including the foreign celebrities, did so because he asked them for favors. I dont have a wide socialwork, so I dont know many that people.


    Jiang Peiying and Yan Lv were stunnedthis was their first time hearing about this. The two of them had been quite worried when scores of people were criticizing Yan Su on the Inte back then.


    No wonder. Uncle had a sudden realization. No wonder Mimi said that you even knew Hollywood celebrities. He really does know quite a lot of people.


    When I was in Hollywood, I shot movies with a few directors there, so I know quite a few people, Mo Liuxi said with a smile.


    Not bad, Susu. The boyfriend you found this time is young and already quite capable, Auntie smiled.


    Jiang Peiying and Yan Lv felt proud when they heard those words.


    Lets eat. After calling everyone, Yan Lv said to Mo Liuxi, Youve also been busy the whole afternoongo take a seat.


    Its alright, Ill feed Yan Yan first ande backter. Mo Liuxi smiled and ced the dish before leaving to prepare milk.


    Everyone looked at him as he was leaving, and Auntie eximed once again, This young boy is very good looking. He looks much more sophisticated and reliable than your brutish cousins. In terms of his looks, even that Shi Xiang is slightlycking inparison. Im just worried if you can hold onto him. Good-looking men are difficult to keep nowadays.


    Thats right, Yan Mi nodded. I once read an article about how despite his young age, he already has a movie that won a Golden Lion. Even Li Ming praised him on the international stage. Do you know how the local media describes him? They say that without a doubt, he is the director with the most potential for the countrys future. He is also a major shareholder of Luoxi Films. His family seems to be pretty powerful, so no one dares to mess with him. Susu, you either refuse or go all out when ites to men, so Im quite worried.


    Yan Lv and Jiang Peiying couldnt help but nod as they listened. This was exactly what they worried about as well.


    Yan Su thought for a bit, thenughed callously. You cant say that he isnt dependable just because he is handsome and rich. Look at those celebrities who cheated on their partnershow many of them are good-looking? They are all men with distorted features who cannot hold themselves back when they see pretty women after they be popr. On the other hand, handsome men like him have seen more, and are better at controlling themselves. Look at the really good-looking men like Wu Yanzu and Zhang Zhilindont they treat their wives well?


    Everyone was silenced for a moment. Jiang Peiyin nodded, That does seem to be the case.


    If men are all unreliable, then I definitely want to find a handsome one, Yan Su said, grinning.


    Thedies present all agreed that that made sense. Yan Mi winked, then turned around to say to her mother, Mom, I dont want to go on a blind date with that guy you introduced anymoreI think hes kinda ugly. Ive decided that I want to find a handsome boyfriend.


    You ungrateful brat! Auntie stomped her feet in anger. If you can find someone as handsome and capable as Mo Liuxi, Ill be at ease. The problem is, are you capable of doing that?

 Chapter 1465. My Mom Said He Is Going To Marry Into Their Family

    Chapter 1465. My Mom Said He Is Going To Marry Into Their Family


    Yan Mi pouted.


    Everyone else roared withughter.


    After the meal, the rtives wanted to y mahjong. Yan Su declined as she wanted to hold her daughter for a while longer. Seeing as how he was left out, they dragged Mo Liuxi to join them instead. The table was full of elders including Yan Lv.


    Mo Liuxi was especially good at reading the others expressions to the extent of guessing their tiles, so he would intentionally throw whichever tile Yan Lv needed to win. Of course, he didnt do that every timeonly when Yan Lv had difficulty winning.


    Yan Sus cousinmented grumpily, You are doing this on purpose to suck up to your father-inw.


    Its perfectly normal even if Im doing it on purpose. Mo Liuxi smiled confidently. Fathers-inw are meant to be sucked up to in the first ce.


    Yan Lv smiled in a rare bout of good mood. This boy was indeed good at ttering, much better than that Shi Xiang fellow.


    As night fell, their friends and rtives returned home after enjoying another table full of Mo Liuxis food. Yan Su watched the Spring Festival G Program with her parents while Mo Liuxi yed with their daughter. Yan Yan no longer avoided him and was alreadyfortable around him after only one day; being her the biological father no doubt factored into that.


    At eleven oclock, Yan Su received a call from Luosang. Im sending my New Year greetings early. Happy New Year. Youre back in your hometown this year, right?


    Yes, happy new year, Yan Su walked out while talking on the phone. Are you at home with CEO Nian?


    Yup. My parents are spending New Years in Europe, and Liuxi said that hell be visiting his girlfriends family. That said, I didnt know when he got himself a girlfriendhe has never brought her home to meet us. My mom said that hes going to marry into their family one day.


    Yan Su nced awkwardly at Mo Liuxi who was preupied with their daughter, Um its a good thing hes found a girlfriend. Hell probably bring her over to meet you soon. Dont worry, a man as arrogant as he is will never marry into another family.


    Luosangughed. You cant be sure of that. My dad said that he adores that woman to the point where he even wants to get married next year. That woman must really be something to be able to tame a man like Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su felt more awkward as the conversation continued, so she quickly changed the topic, Isnt Nian Xi bringing her boyfriend home for New Years this time as well?


    Yes, Professor Jiang came as well. Luosang was amused. He follows Nian Xi everywhere. Nian Xi should be going over to his family after the New Year Festival. Theyre nning to get married next year.


    Thats pretty good, Yan Su said.


    It is, but my husband and his dad are still worried for some reason who knows whats in their heads.


    The two of them talked for over twenty minutes until Nian Junting called for Luosang on the other end. They hung up soon after.


    The moment Yan Su turned around, she saw Mo Liuxi holding their daughter, staring at her from behind. The faint moonlight fell on their faces, entuating how incredibly alike they looked.


    Who were you talking to for so long? Mo Liuxi pouted.


    Your sister. Yan Su smiled gently as she picked up her daughter and showered her with kisses. Have you called your family tonight?


    I have. They will only being back after the Lantern Festival. Mo Liuxi sighed. They are nning to visit the North Pole.


    Your parents are very free-spirited, Yan Su said with envy. But I have to start working on the third day of the New Year Festival. You can go over to Luosangs ce this holiday.


    Its alright, Mo Liuxi shook his head. I n to stay at your house until the seventh dayI just told your parents.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    So he intended to stay at her house without her. How brave of him, especially since the house would be full of guests paying their New Year greetings. Most guys would feel awkward and downright ashamed.

 Chapter 1466. The Marriage Proposal

    Chapter 1466. The Marriage Proposal


    I told your parents that, sooner orter, Ill be their son-inw, and I should try to fit in with your family as soon as possible. Also, since you are always busy with your work, I should spend more time with them instead, Mo Liuxi said. And I want to learn how to take care of Yan Yan so that you can live like a queen once were married. Ill take full responsibility for Yan Yan. Your parents were d to hear that.


    Yan Su fell silent.


    She was at a loss for words.


    To be honest, Yan Su thought that Mo Liuxi would have a hard time fitting in with her family because of his cold and distant attitude. Who knew that, after only one day, he was practically their son?


    Just by yourself are you sure about this? Yan Su was worried about him.


    Mo Liuxi chuckled and said, Ill make your parents see me as their own.


    Yan Su could not doubt Mo Liuxi anymore since he had given her his words.


    As if time had stopped, they werepletely lost in each others presence.


    It was almost midnight. Fireworks exploded in the sky above the small town.


    Jiang Peiying and Yan Lv wouldve usually been asleep at that hour. However, because of Mo Liuxi and Yan Su, they decided not to go to bed so early.


    Dad, do you know where Xixi is? I want to fire off some fireworks with him, said Yan Jin, as she ran toward Yan Lv with all kinds of fireworks in her arms.


    Yan Lv looked around puzzled, and said, He was just here.


    Maybe he went to the bathroom, said Yan Su. She did not pay much attention to Mo Liuxi before that as she was taking care of Yan Yan. Hang on a second, Jin. Ill get him to go with you.


    Just as Yan Jin was about to nod in acknowledgment, a huge bang came from the garden.


    How could he set off the fireworks in the garden without me! Yan Jin rushed out first, but she was astounded by what she saw.


    Although fireworks were being set off all over town to celebrate the New Year, the sky above the Yan familys house was especially bright with all sorts of fireworks. It was as bright as daylight and as colorful as a rainbow. Shining autumn Chrysanthemums were blooming in the sky, with fiery roses twinkling among them.


    Red, yellow, green, pink, and more.


    Every burst added a ssh of color into the world above.


    Yan Su, Jiang Peiying, and Yan Lv walked out of the house as well. They were all amazed by the scene.


    Look, Sis! Yan Jin shouted out of the blue. Their gaze fell from the sky and onto the garden below.


    It had been snowing for two days; the garden was covered in white snow. At that very moment, red shimmering candles decorated the snow in the shape of a heart. Mo Liuxi had some sparklers lighted in his left hand and a bouquet of red roses in his right. He stood in the middle of the candle arrangement as if he were a snow fairy. He looked into Yan Sus eyes; his eyes sparkling like the fireworks above them. It happened all so fast and surprised everyone.


    Yan Su was stunned, much less the entire Yan family.


    Only Yan Yan, who was in the arms of her mother, was shouting with excitement when she saw the sparklers in Mo Liuxis hand. No one understood what she was trying to say.


    Mo Liuxi looked at Yan Yans smiling face, and his heart melted.


    He went through so much when he was a little boy, he never imagined that day woulde so soon.


    It was as if his life wasplete.


    Uncle, Aunty, I would like to propose to Susu with you here.


    The sparklers went out. Mo Liuxi slowly walked to Yan Su with the bouquet in his hands. He took out a ring, kneeled on one knee on the snowy ground, and said, I know this all happened too fast, and your parents have not epted mepletely. You probably never saw thising either, but I think today is the day. Everyone is here. Yan Yan is here. I, Mo Liuxi, am only 22, but I know exactly what I want. I want to take care of youyou and Yan Yan. I want to be your shelter. I want to give you all you need. I will never betray you, and I will always love you.

 Chapter 1467

    Chapter 1467


    Yan Sus heart raced.


    Maybe it was too much of a surpriseher mind went nk.


    However, Yan Lv soon calmed down and frowned, You two are way too young right now. You are crazy in love now and you promised to be with her for the rest of her life. Do you even understand what an entire lifetime means? Its not just a few years, its decades. Staying with each other for your whole life is not easy.


    I know, Mo Liuxi looked down to the ground. His lips were pale, freezing. He continued, My parents fell in love when they were both very youngthey divorced soon after. You are right, marriage wontst for a lifetime just because of love it requires devotion. I love Susu, and I am willing to devote myself to her. Susu, I am not lying. I did not know Yan Yan was my daughter. I only knew that you had a child and I thought she was Shi Xiangs baby. I hesitated. I was in pain. I was mean to you. But still, I couldnt resist getting closer to you. I couldnt stand anyone taking advantage of you, and at that time I thought even if you had another mans child, I still want to be with you. I would be willing to ept the child for your sake. So, when I found out that Yan Yan was my daughter, I was thrilled.


    The past few days we spent together Yan Yan, you and me Ive never felt soplete. Its as if Ive finally found my direction and goal in life. I finally understand why a man would work so hard his whole life.


    Every word from Mo Liuxi echoed inside Yan Sus heart.


    It was the first time she had ever heard those words, and the first time she knew what Mo Liuxi was thinking.


    It seemed like Mo Liuxi was telling the truth. He did not know Yan Yan was his child, but he still chose to help her and was nice to her the whole time.


    Yan Su did not realize how much pain he was in while she knew the whole time that Yan Yan was his daughter.


    In hindsight, it was incredible how much pain Mo Liuxi had to endure.


    Even Jiang Peiying sighed as if she felt all of Mo Liuxis pain.


    If a man could ept another mans child as his own, he was doing it for love.


    Mo Liuxis knee was sore. He had never knelt for so long in his life.


    Nevertheless, Mo Liuxi continued to say, Uncle, Aunty, I understand if you do not trust me. Susu and I have not known each other for very long, but your daughter is going to marry someone eventually. You can take your time to test and see if I am a good man or not. Marriage is an art, and I am simply asking you for a chance.


    Jiang Peiying looked to Yan Lv, unsure of what to do. What do you say?


    Yan Lv walked toward Mo Liuxi and said, Did your parents approve of your proposal? Have you prepared an apartment? Where are you going to live? Have you thought about that?


    My parents do not interfere with my life. I can be with whoever I like. If they do not approve of us and insist that we shouldnt be together You could just adopt me into your family, Mo Liuxi said nonchntly.


    Yan Lv was speechless.


    Mo Liuxi then said, As for where to live probably Xia City, but Ill live where Susu pleases. Ill be stuck with her for life anyway.


    Yan Su found that rather amusing.


    Isnt it the bride who usually says that? Stuck with the man for life? It was instead Mo Liuxi who said that.


    Susu, will you marry me? Mo Liuxi looked at Yan Sus smiling face and said with all his heart, Ill cook for you for life. Ill make chicken wings Ill make snacks for you in the middle of the night Ill buy you milk tea, ice cream, yogurt


    Those are not healthy choices though, Yan Jin could not help butin.


    Because I want to make your sister my little piggy, Mo Liuxi said gently.


    Yan Jin was upset and said, Do you want to marry me? Id marry you!

 Chapter 1468. Her Parents Were Watching so He Had to Restrain Himself

    Chapter 1468. Her Parents Were Watching so He Had to Restrain Himself


    Mo Liuxi was at a loss for words.


    Yan Jin could never keep his thoughts to himself. This was nothing like what Mo Liuxi had nned.


    Jiang Peiying pulled Yan Jin by his ear and said, Why cant you just think before you speak for once?


    But those are my favorite foods, Yan Jin curled his lips.


    Yan Su could not help butugh out loud and said, Jin, if I agree to marry him, Ill get him to buy all those things for you every single day.


    Mo Liuxis eyes lit up. Yan Lv frowned helplessly. Yan Su


    Dad, I know that you probably do not see me as a reliable person. Yan Su looked into her fathers eyes with determination, I hurt you and mom because of Shi Xiang. I insisted on keeping the child and put you in a difficult spot, but I truly believe that Liuxi loves me a lot. He may be younger than me, but he took good care of me when we were together. He protected me. He is the most talented and capable person Ive ever met, despite his age. When I was young, I said all the nice things in the world about Shi Xiang. Then I met Liuxi and quickly learned that those nice things Ive said before were all out of ignorance and naivete. I did not understand what qualities to look for in a man.


    Yan Su continued, Liuxi is not perfect. He might be a little bit childish when handling rtionships, and he gets jealous easily. He has quite a temper as well whenever he gets jealous. Other than that, I cant find anything else that I might dislikehe even promised me he would work on those shorings. I dont think there is such a thing as a perfect match, no matter who you are. You need to take time to learn each others pace, just like how you and mom would still get into fights sometimes.


    I cannot promise that I would be with Liuxi till the end of time, or that he would love me forever, but I am willing to take this chance with him, Yan Su said.


    As parents, Yan Lv and Jiang Peiying were deeply moved by their daughters words.


    Mo Liuxi was touched as well. He could feel the overwhelming rush of emotion rising up within him.


    All right, youve gone and said it. What more could your father and I say? Jiang Peiying said. There was nothing more she could do. They had a baby, and she thought that Mo Liuxi behaved well in the few days he was with them.


    Even if Mo Liuxi was just trying to please Yan Lv and herself, she could tell that he wasfortable doing chores and cookinghe must have learned all those things when he was younger.


    Also, although Mo Liuxi was from a good family and had a bright future, he did not have the bad habits of the other rich kids.


    Jiang Peiying could see Mo Liuxis sincerity as he proposed in front of Yan Lv and herself.


    Mo Liuxi, I hope you keep your promise. Yan Lv warned him, If you treat her badly, I dont care who you are or where you are fromI will not let my daughter be wronged by you.


    And Yan Su, no matter which man you choose, youll still need to rely on yourself. Dont forget to keep working hard just like before, Yan Lv advised his daughter.


    Thank you, dad. Mo Liuxi appreciated Yan Lvs words.


    Nowe and put the ring on her. What are you still doing there in the snow? Are you trying to be an ice sculpture? Yan Lv said bluntly.


    Mo Liuxi tried to move but realized that his leg was numb from all the kneeling. He could barely feel his knee. It was as cold as the snow beneath him.


    Mo Liuxi gave a bitter smile and said, Susu,e over to me. My knee is numb.


    Yan Su walked over to him. Her heart ached for him despite the awkwardlyedic situation. She was just about to help Mo Liuxi up, but he pulled her down into his arms and put the ring on her finger.


    Mo Liuxi then pressed his thin lips onto Yan Sus forehead.


    God knew how much Mo Liuxi wanted to kiss Yan Su on her lips, but her parents were watching, so he had to restrain himself.


    Yan Jin covered his eyes with his hands, trying his best not to look at them.


    The fireworks got louder and louder outside.


    It was past 12. A new year had arrived.


    Susu, Yan Yan, happy new year, he said.

 Chapter 1469. Baby, I Cant Sleep

    Chapter 1469. Baby, I Can''t Sleep


    After half an hour, Mo Liuxi went back to his room.


    Tossing and turning, he could not sleep.


    Mo Liuxi had just proposed. He was now Yan Sus fiance, and her parents had given them their blessing.


    He could finally take Yan Su back home properly.


    But, why was he still alone in bed that night?


    Mo Liuxi couldnt help but grab his phone to message Yan Su: Baby, are you still up? I cant sleep.


    Yan Su replied almost instantly: Me neither.


    After all, they had just gone through their first-ever proposal. They were filled with all sorts of thoughtssweet andplicated. No one could sleep like a log after what had just happened.


    Mo Liuxi replied: What a happy coincidence. How about Ie over?


    Yan Su texted back:


    Mo Liuxi: I havent experienced the pleasures of the flesh for more than a half-month now. Its a special day, and its New Year. Maybe we could


    Yan Su: Stop it. Yan Yan is right next to me.


    Mo Liuxi: Ill be gentle and quiet.


    Yan Su: What if my parents found out? My dad would flip.


    Mo Liuxi: Ill be really, really gentle and quiet.


    Yan Su: Ill go get some sleep now.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Mo Liuxi had to stare at his phone alone all night. He did not get any sleep at all.


    The next day, many friends and rtives came over to wish the family a happy new year.


    On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Lv took the family to pay their respects to their ancestors, before going to Yan Sus grandmothers house in the afternoon. While the older generation was busy ying mahjong, Yan Su took Yan Yan and Mo Liuxi out for a walk in town.


    So many memories of Yan Su were of that ancient town with beautiful hills and bodies of water. Look, thats my elementary school, Yan Su said.


    Mo Liuxi had a lookthere were only three buildings, but the school was located in a perfect ce, surrounded by hills and rivers. Mo Liuxi could tell that it wasnt a poor vige. Did you go to your middle school and high school here as well? Mo Liuxi asked.


    No, in Jingdezhen. Yan Su exined, This is my hometown. We have a huge china factory behind the hills. We sell those to ces all over the country. My parents live in the city and onlye back for vacation or just for the weekend. They need tomunicate and learn from others a lot because they work in the arts. Sometimes they need to travel out of town as well. They only asionally visit the factory. Its my uncles who usually take care of the factory.


    Susu, I understand nowyour family has a long line of pottery making, and you are the heiress of this great family. Mo Liuxi pinched Yan Sus nose and said, No wonder you are like this now.


    Like what? Yan Su was curious.


    Headstrong, Mo Liuxi smiled and nced at her. Not seeking fame or wealth, and notpetitive.


    Yan Su was a little bit embarrassed. Yeah I guess so. I didnt care much about those things because my family gave me everything I needed. My mom and dad wished that I could get educated and more cultured so that I could continue their work, but I am not really into ceramics.


    Its perfect now. What do you say, Yan Yan? Mo Liuxi bent over and asked Yan Yan who was in the pram, wearingyers uponyers of heavy clothing.


    Yan Yan waved her arms and legs, babbling happily. It was a shame that no one could understand what she was trying to say.


    Susu, you are leaving tomorrow I cane over secretly, right? Mo Liuxi got close to Yan Su and whispered all of the sudden.


    Yan Sus cheeks turned red. After some time, the wind delivered her message to Mo Liuxi. Okay.


    They made their way back home after their long walk as a family.


    It was two in the morning. Barely a sound could be heard.


    Yan Su opened the door. Mo Liuxi slipped in, pulled her into his arms, and lifted her up.


    Baby, I dont want you to go, said Mo Liuxi as he buried his head into Yan Sus shoulder.


    Its going to be a busy year. I need to go on tours. Its gonna get better though. Yan Su held his face and said, Spend more time with your daughter.

 Chapter 1470

    Chapter 1470


    Well Mo Liuxi answered with a sexy voice.


    He looked down to look for Yan Sus lips.


    Ever since they came to the Yan family home, even though they spent every day together, Yan Lv and Jiang Peiying were rather strict and Yan Su was always taking care of Yan Yan, so they did not even have the chance to kiss each other.


    It was deep in the night. Mo Liuxi could not stop once he had had a taste of her. It was addictive.


    Mo Liuxi held Yan Su in his arms while keeping his lips on hers. He moved to the bed, only to realize that his own daughter was sleeping right in the middle of it.


    Mo Liuxi was confused. How were they going to sleep?


    He looked around the room and got upset. Susu, your room is too small. You dont even have a couch.


    I left home when I went to study. My parents never renovated my room. Who in their right mind would put a couch in a schoolkids room? Yan Su mumbled quietly in Mo Liuxis arms.


    Mo Liuxi saw no way out. He looked around the room and set Yan Su down on the desk near the window. He closed the curtains, leaving only a small gap. The room got dark.


    You are not gonna do it here said Yan Su, surprised, after she had realized what was happening.


    Where else then? Do you want to stand? Mo Liuxi asked while kissing her.


    Yan Su immediately quieted down.


    The two fooled around for quite a while in the dark.


    Mo Liuxi asked with a husky voice, You never saw this daying right? You used to study on this desk every day, right? Did you think about Shi Xiang at night when you came back here over the weekends?


    You grow up Yan Su felt his thin lips caressing her ears. His breaths made her body hot.


    Yan Su spaced out for a little while. She did think about Shi Xiang. That was all she could think about when she had her first love.


    Thinking back, she felt that it was reallyme.


    Mo Liuxi got rougher while Yan Su was lost in her thoughts.


    Yan Su held on to him as she trembled uncontrobly.


    It waste when they were done. Mo Liuxi brought her to bed gently and moved Yan Yan. He kissed Yan Su on her forehead and said, There, there, now. Sleep tight.


    Umm when are you going to go back to your room? Yan Su mumbled as she was sleepy.


    Ill leave when you are asleep, Mo Liuxis sexy voice wafted into Yan Sus ears. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in no time.


    Yan Su woke up the next day when Jiang Peiying came knocking on her door. Susu, didnt you say the flight was 11 this morning? You need to head to the airportits already 9 oclock.


    Alright, Ill get up now, Yan Su answered. She sat up immediately and looked at the desk with some guilt. She remembered that she had knocked themp over the night before. The books were everywhere but they were now nice and tidy.


    She felt a little awkward thinking back on the previous nights events.


    Yan Su stepped out of her room with Yan Yan in her arms. Mo Liuxi was having breakfast and was in a good mood. He whispered into her ear, I woke up earlier than you this morning.


    Yan Su rolled her eyes and said, I got up at five to feed Yan Yan and change her diaper. It took me more than a half-hour.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    What a woman.


    After breakfast, Yan Su said a long goodbye to Yan Yan and then asked Mo Liuxi to take her to the airport.


    She teared up thinking about Yan Yan on the way.


    Susu, dont think about it anymore. Ill take Yan Yan to Xia City to live for a while when I have my next holiday, and you can see her then. Or if you want, when you finish your tour, Ill bring her to live with us, Mo Liuxi said.

 Chapter 1471

    Chapter 1471


    Yan Su nodded her head.


    She too, hoped for that day to arrivefor the child to grow a little older. So she can walk and stay with her parents.


    So that she knows how much her parents love and care about her.


    So we have to get married as soon as possible, Mo Liuxi added.


    Yan Su kept quiet.


    They were going to get married as soon as she epted his proposal?


    You dont agree with what I said? Mo Liuxi said matter-of-factly, If our child grows up and finds out that her parents arent even married yet, she would be heartbroken. She might even think of herself as an illegitimate child.


    Yan Su was a little unsettled by what he had just said.


    When they had finally reached the airport, he let her out of the car; her lips all swollen from his kisses. You can go back to Xia City if youre not used to things at home. I wont be around to keep youpany. My mother is alright but my father might be a little difficult to get along with.


    Alright. Have a safe flight. Remember to call me when you reach Beijing.


    She was going to Beijing to participate in a television program during the Lunar New Year period, and she had to fly to the States after that for dance choreography practice for her tourter on. The next three months were going to be an intense boot camp session for her.


    As she was leaving, she had gotten pretty worried about Mo Liuxi. She felt bad for leaving him alone at her ce and she would call him every day.


    On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the program that she was in had gone on air, and she had a duet with another young singer. They had to hold hands and serenade each other during the performance. Yan Lv called her after watching the program. Yan Su, let me remind you that you have a fianc. You have to watch your boundaries, even if its for your job or performance. If I were Liuxi, I would be very ufortable watching you and that singer tonight.


    Dad, this is all part of my job. Youve seen me work so many times, said Yan Su. She thought that she was hearing him wrong.


    How could that be the same? Things are different now. I didnt know Liuxi was your boyfriend, Yan Lv said nonchntly.


    Yan Su rubbed her ears and said, Dad, since when were you such a big supporter of Liuxi?


    Things were like that when she left on the third day of the Lunar New Year.


    I just think that hes a pretty good guy after spending more time with himhes a responsible and mature boy. Up until you left, I thought he was just putting on an act, but Im really taken aback by his performance these couple of days Yan Lv was cut off mid-sentence when Jiang Peiying snatched the phone away from him.


    Susu, you havent allowed us to rest and enjoy our lives, but Liuxi has.


    Jiang Peiying remarked, I was so exhausted in the past, even with Auntie Wus help. But Liuxi has taken care of every little thing in this house the past couple of days. Your father and I havent been in the kitchen at all not even once! Your aunties are all so envious of me. And thats not even the half of it. Liuxi would spend every minute of his free time with the babyhe didnt even know how to bathe, dress or change Yan Yans diapers when he arrived, but hes learned to do all of that now. He has no problem sleeping with her at night now.


    He talks about homeware and ceramics with your father and I. He can also hold a conversation about our countrys history and hes quite a serious kidhe even takes notes of our conversations on a notepad. He said that he wanted to film a movie about the traditional craftsmen of our country so that young people can learn more about our beautiful culture and history. Its a call for our young people to look into the past for inspiration, and not just at new technology and the digitalization of things. He says that he doesnt want the essence of our culture to be lost.


    Yan Su waspletely speechless.


    She couldnt even begin to describe how she felt at that moment. Were her parentspletely brainwashed by Mo Liuxi?

 Chapter 1472. 1088 Little Sweetie

    Chapter 1472. 1088 Little Sweetie


    Yan Lv took the phone back again and continued, Ipletely agree with what hes saying. If you knew anything about culture, you wouldnt have gone and learned singing. This kid is more mature than you. He has more foresight and hes sophisticated.


    Yan Su couldnt stand it any longer and interrupted him, Dad


    I dont what kind of luck you had to find such a good boy like Liuxi, Yan Lu remarked. I finally understand why he is such a good film director at such a young agehes got depth and sophistication. Hes not like those other directors nowadays, too superficial.


    Yan Su held her tongue.


    Im telling you, dont you dare let him down. I wont be able to forgive you if you hurt a good boy like him, Yan Lv said. To top it all off, the boys cooking is absolutely superb! Everything is so delicious. Your brother has already put on a few pounds since you werest here.


    Sis, can you ask brother-inw to stay here for a while longer? Yan Jins voice echoed in the background. Im eating my brother-inws chicken wings right now.


    Brother-inw


    Yan Su quietly ended the call; she had a headache.


    That night, she called Mo Liuxi, Amazing you managed to win over my entire family over in just a couple of days. How did you bribe them?


    Susu, thats not very nice. Im just being a good son-inw to your parents on your behalf. Im so exhausted every day. Mo Liuxi sounded grumpy over the phone. You have so many rtives. My hands are filled with calluses from all the cooking Ive been doing. I have to take care of Yan Yan at night as well. My body ispletely drained of life and Im just so tired.


    Yan Su could imagine how tiring it would be to take care of all the chores like that. She said, You dont have to do all those. You still have to study and make moviesdont tire yourself out and get sick.


    Dont worry, Im leaving tomorrow, Mo Liuxi answered her softly. I think your parents are having a difficult time as well since youre not around, and theyre getting old. They just dont tell you about their struggles nowadays. Im just doing all that I can while Im here. To be honest, thats all I can do. Parents would never ask their children to do more.


    Liuxi Yan Su was moved by his words. She felt ashamed of her attitude and her shorings. Thank you. I was being too petty earlier on. You are right, Ill treat my parents better in the future.


    Your parents? Theres no difference from now onyour parents are my parents too, Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su blushed. She thought about her words earlier when all Mo Liuxi did was to take good care of her parents. She fell silent for a moment before saying, Youre right. Theres no distinction between us from now on.


    She was embarrassed by what she had said; she shut her eyes.


    They werent even married yet and they were going to treat each others parents as their own already. She was still a little too embarrassed to say it out loud.


    Alright then, I still have chores to do, little sweetie. Be good, Mo Liuxi chuckled.


    Yan Su covered her face. Good thing they were on the phone.


    Some time had passed by since then.


    On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Liuxi said his goodbyes to his darling daughter before leaving.


    The Yan elders packed plenty of souvenirs for him to bring back. On his flight back, Mo Liuxi thought about the things that he had to do when he arrived home.


    He had to first buy a new house, with a room to be converted into a nursery. It wasnt that he didnt want to live with Yan Sus parentsthey were a young newlywed couple, after all, and he wanted time to spend together with Yan Su in private.


    At the airport, he got into his car and drove straight over to Tianhu Vi.


    Luosang watched as her brother climbed out of his car with all kinds of souvenirs. She was a little surprised after not seeing him for so long. Theres so much preserved meatis your girlfriend from Hunan?

 Chapter 1473. Was This the Same Stone-Cold Brother That She Knew?

    Chapter 1473. Was This the Same Stone-Cold Brother That She Knew?


    Mo Liuxi kept quiet.


    Luosang smirked as she said, So you like chicks from Hunan, huh? Those spicy girls. Theyre quite outgoing arent they? Maybe theyre the only ones who can control you.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. It took him a while to reply. So only Hunan has preserved meats now?


    Luosang blinked. The thought never entered her mind. She had just had a dish with preserved meat at a restaurant serving Hunan cuisine, so she just assumed that he came back from there. Then is she from Hubei or not?


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    Nian Junting walked over and patted her shoulders, Who cares where shes fromthe meat looks like its smoked well. Lets have some for dinner tonight.


    He wasnt going to tell her. If Luosang found out that her younger brother was dating her best friend, she would freak out.


    When they went in, Mo Liuxi ran over and hugged Little Apple affectionately. Seeing Little Apple reminded of his daughter and he gave him a big fat red packet.


    Luosang was shocked when she saw the red packet. Why did you put so much in there? You didnt even give as much for his hundredth-day celebration.


    I made more money this year, Mo Liuxi said nonchntly. Just keep it.


    Why do I feel like youre a lot more caring aftering back from your girlfriends ce? Luosang remarked. She felt as though she had just watched her own son grow up. You were gone for quite a long timeits already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.


    Yeah, I stayed with my girlfriends parents for a couple of days after she left, Mo Liuxi said casually as he fed Little Apple.


    Luosang kept quiet.


    Her eyes widened in disbelief. It took a while to process everything before she asked, You mean to say that you stayed at her ce even after she left?


    Yeah, Mo Liuxi answered. Theyre eventually going to be my father and mother-inw anyway. Is it strange to be spending time together like that?


    Luosang gave him a thumbs up. Good on you. Your skills areparable to your brother-inws.


    You can just talk about him. Why do you have to bring me into the picture? Nian Junting said as he continued ying with her fingers. He had to admit that the guy was almost as thick-skinned as he was.


    As they were talking, Mo Liuxis phone rang. He quickly picked up and said gently, Hello? Ma Im already in Xia City. Im eating at my sisters ce. I have to thank you and Pa for taking care of me these past few days. Ill go back and visit both of you when the holidayse around. Bye!


    Luosangs jaw dropped. Was this the same stone-cold brother that she knew?


    After he hung up, Luosang asked him, You werent talking to our real mother who is still in Europe, were you?


    Of course not. This was my girlfriends mother, Mo Liuxi said matter-of-factly.


    Luosangs mouth twitched.


    It was a good thing that Mo Jin wasnt around to listen to that conversationshe wouldve been upset.


    He hadnt even brought his girlfriend home yet, and he was already calling her parents Ma and Pa. Hes really thick-skinned, even more so than his brother-inw, Luosang thought to herself.


    Halfway through dinner, a sudden stench wafted through the air.


    Nian Juntings expression changed and he said through gritted teeth, Little brat, did you just poop again?


    Little Apple didnt say anything. Instead, he gave him a sheepish grin as he stared at his father with teary eyes.


    Niang Junting frowned as he said, How many times must I tell you this? You have to tell me when youre pooping. Youre doing this on purpose just to disgust us.


    Luosang grinned she said, Then what should he tell you? Just go and clean it up over there. Im still eating.


    Nian Junting kept quiet.


    He was still eating as well.

 Chapter 1474. Mama, Uncle... Did a Good Job

    Chapter 1474. Mama, Uncle... Did a Good Job


    In the end, on ount of his wife, he brought Little Apple to the bathroom with a sour expression.


    Soon, his voice could be heard as he called out, Ahh theres so much poo! Its all over your bum and your pants are soiled too! I want to vomit Blech!


    Luosang lost her appetite as she listened to hisints, but just as she was about to stand up to help him, Mo Liuxi stood up faster than she could.


    He walked into the bathroom and said to Nian Junting with his handsome, youthful face, Leave this to me.


    Nian Junting was stunned, but before he could react, Mo Liuxi skillfully carried Little Apple in his arms with ease. He undressed Little Apple, before grabbing several wipes to clean his body.


    When he was done, he looked at Nian Junting with a frown. Why are you still standing around? Go get water and a clean pair of pants for him. Its chilly now, and we dont want him to catch a cold!


    Nian Junting was stunned. What was that brat doing? He was giving him orders.


    He was displeased, but he had to obey hismands for his sons sake.


    As he dressed Little Apple and changed his diapers, the familiarity of his movements and dexterity shocked Luosang and Sister Lan.


    Sister Lan scooted over towards Luosang and whispered to her, What did Liuxi go through the past couple of days? Did he go over to his girlfriends ce to babysit?


    Luosang shuddered. Sister Lan, dont scare me!


    After some time, Little Apple stood up from Mo Liuxisp and waddled over to Luosang. Mama, Uncle did a good job. Papa makes me ufortable, he murmured.


    Luosang fellpletely silent.


    Nian Junting rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance. That brat was badmouthing him to Luosang.


    Liuxi, when did you get so good with children and these tasks? Luosang asked curiously.


    Hmm My girlfriend has a younger brother whos just a little older than Little Apple. I took care of him during Chinese New Year for a while, Mo Liuxi replied as he marched to the dining room.


    Nian Junting grunted. He should have juste clean and said that he was taking care of his own daughter during Chinese New Year.


    Luosang looked at his displeased expression, and she could not help but add on, Look at Liuxi! He has gotten so skillful just by helping out at his girlfriends house during Chinese New Year. He didnt even mind how dirty the poo was! Look at yourself. Little Apple is your son!


    I didnt say that I minded him! Nian Junting retorted grumpily, I was just telling the truth. I cant lie and say that my sons poo smells good, can I?


    Luosang shook her head. She could not be bothered to argue with him.


    After dinner, Mo Liuxi yed with Little Apple for a short while, before returning home. Luosang remarked, I used to think that whoever ended up with my brother was an unlucky girl, but now I know that good men are just hard to control. Look at him now! Im sure hell be a terrific husband and father.


    Youre right. Nian Junting nodded his head. Just like me, you have absolute control over me. Im the model husband now.


    Luosang asked, In what ways?


    Good looks, a good body, and a good lifestyle!


    Luosang was speechless.


    At night, when Luosang left the bathroom after showering, she noticed Nian Junting teaching their son English on the carpet.


    Her heart was warmed by the scene in front of her. She sat at the side and listened to the lesson, intrigued.


    Come on, son, lets revise. How do we say good morning in English? Nian Junting put up an image of a kind father.


    Little Apple looked up at him in confusion. A.


    Nian Junting replied, Alright What about good evening then?


    Little Apple replied, B.


    Nian Junting was flustered. Didnt I teach you that a couple of times just now? Why didnt you inherit any of your mothers or my superior genes? You dont even know simple and basic English!

 Chapter 1475. Nian Xi Suffered a Gunshot Injury on Duty

    Chapter 1475. Nian Xi Suffered a Gunshot Injury on Duty


    Little Apple blinked several times, and he pouted as he turned around and hugged Luosangs thighs. He burst into tears as he wailed, Mama, Papa is bullying little baby!


    Nian Juntingughed. How am I bullying you? I didnt curse at all when I scolded you. You didnt manage to learn how to speak English, but you sure know how toin! As a man, no matter how tough it gets, you have to stay strong and steadfast like steel.


    Luosang ced her son onto herp, before instinctively rolling her eyes at Nian Junting. Look at how young he is! Hes just a little over one! Its already impressive that he can speak so much, so how can you expect him to speak English? Do you know what youre doing? Youre submitting to western supremacy. Do you want me to tell your grandfather about this?


    The old man hated the westerners and their behavior. Nian Junting abruptly fell silent.


    After being speechless from what Luosang had said for a while, he suddenly replied, Luoluo, youre right. However, as a boy, he must be strong and resilient. Ive decided that Ill send him to train in martial arts when he turns three, and then hell attend swimming sses at night. Additionally, Ill send him to the army when he turns 18. Ive always wanted to contribute to the country in some way, but I cant because of my physical limitations. Son, I dont expect you to be a Senior General, but you must at least be a lieutenant.


    Little Apple looked puzzled.


    Luosang sighed. It would tire their son out if he tried to carry all of his fathers aspirations on his back.


    Noticing that Luosang said nothing, Nian Junting pursed his lips and added, Alright, fine! Even if you cant do all of these things, you must at least be filial to your parents. Thats the least you can do as a man! Forget about your old man, but you must be good to your mother! If your father dies and leaves your mother alone, you must take care of her!


    What nonsense are you spouting? Luosang quickly covered his mouth, visibly upset.


    Nian Junting frowned and sighed. Im not spouting nonsense. Im so much older than you that by the time I hit my seventies, you would only be 60. You can never tell whats going to happen with these things, so I just want to y safe. Therefore, I have to educate our son well.


    That wont happen! Luosang felt dejected thinking about his words, so she tried to convince both of them.


    Luoluo, youll miss me, right? Nian Junting hugged her tightly, touched by her reaction.


    Luosang smiled and replied, Theres a saying that goes, Viins often enjoy long lives.''


    Nian Juntings expression changed, and he yfully bit her lips.


    Little Apple looked up with his naive eyes. His father was bullying his mother again. To him, he was eating her lips.


    He then angrily tugged on Nian Juntings robes.


    Just as the family of three was about to get into another squabble, the phone rang.


    Luosang pushed him away and looked over at his phone. Why would Feng Jichuan call you at this hour?


    Is it Xiao Si? He has been in a foul mood recently because of his fight with Ji Nuanyi. He has been spending a lot of time at the bars, Nian Junting remarked as he picked up his phone.


    Junting,e over to the hospital now. Nian Xi suffered a gunshot injury on duty. Feng Jichuans voice was hoarse over the line.


    Nian Junting stood up immediately, and his face fell.


    Nian Xis team organized a stakeout on a serial killer in Nanshan, but the killer was sly and crafty. He was hiding in the cave with a gun, and Nian Xi took a shot in her thigh. Shes been sent to the hospital now, and Im on my way there too, Feng Jichuan said in a hurry.


    Ill make my way there immediately! Nian Junting put on his coat swiftly after he hung up


    Ill go there with you! Luosang stood up as well, and she handed the child over to Sister Lan. The two of them made their way to the hospital by car.


    On their way there, Nian Junting called his parents to update them. This prompted Luosang to update Jiang Yuning as well, but he did not pick up.


    Who are you calling? Nian Junting asked.


    Jiang Yuning, but hes not picking up, Luosang answered with a frown. He may be asleep at this hour.

 Chapter 1476. Im Slightly Worried Since Shes Still Unconscious

    Chapter 1476. I''m Slightly Worried Since She''s Still Unconscious


    He wouldnt turn his phone off even if hes asleep, Nian Junting said angrily. Which man would turn his phone off at night when hes seeing someone? What if his girlfriend cant reach him on the phone when something happens? Thatll be too irresponsible of him!


    Well, you cant put it that way. Didnt Nian Xi say before that he didnt even own a cellphone in the past? Perhaps he doesnt really like to answer calls from strangers, Luosang replied helplessly.


    Are we even strangers? We previously went to Hangzhou together. He even spent the New Year with the Nian Family. Nian Juntings fingers trembled as he clutched the steering wheel. Ive told her before that she should just work in an office, and yet she chose not to listen. Its not so easy to be out there solving crimes. There are simply too many violent criminals now.


    Dont make it sound so horrifying. Luosang held his hand and frowned. I remember Nian Xi mentioning previously that Mo Liuxi had slightly remodeled her bulletproof vest, and it was much sturdier than before.


    Is his research even reliable? Nian Junting did not believe Mo Liuxi the slightest. The robot fromst time is the best example.


    But the watch that he gave was pretty reliable Luosang wanted to speak, but she held herself back on second thought.


    Nian Junting was no longer in the mood to continue the conversation with her, and it grew quiet within the car.


    When they arrived at the hospital, Feng Ji Chuan, Fang Qi, and several other colleagues from the police department were already keeping watch in the ward. Nian Xiid silently on the hospital bed, and she was put on a venttor. Her face was pale, and she remained unconscious while the doctors beside her injected her mediation for her.


    How is she? Nian Junting marched over and directly pulled over an intern doctor, who was standing by the side.


    The intern doctor jumped in fright when he saw how aggressive Nian Junting looked. Her leg She was shot once in her leg and her chest.


    She was also shot in the chest? Nian Juntings pupils narrowed in fear.


    Fortunately, she was wearing a bulletproof vest. However, as the bullet was fired at a rtively close range, her lungs are showing signs of respiratory failure. For now, shell need to rely on a venttor to breathe, the chief attending physician stood up and walked over as he exined. Thankfully, shes not in a critical condition.


    Fang Qi, who was standing by the side, could feel her heart palpitate as she said, Nian Xis life is truly blessed! She was shot in the chest at such a close range. The rest of us would probably have died even if we were wearing a normal bulletproof vest. Seems like this is all thanks to the bulletproof vest from Professor Jiang.


    Nian Junting frowned, while Feng Ji Chuan had aplicated expression in his eyes. Wheres Jiang Yuning? Has hee over yet?


    We didnt manage to reach him, Nian Junting replied. He then questioned in a low voice, What on earth happened tonight? Did you catch the serial killer?


    We got him. I shot twice at his thighs and hands, Fang Qi said before smiling bitterly. It was a miscalction of strategy. We underestimated how perverse the killer could be. This time, there were a series of cases of missing women from the neighboring town. We managed to identify a suspect, but he noticed our presence and fled. We didnt expect him to own a gun when we chased after him. Our captain is heading over to the house of the suspect now to rescue the women who have been abducted.


    We must lock that criminal up for the rest of his life! Nian Junting said through gritted teeth.


    Not long after, the members of the Nian Family and the Murong Family arrived.


    They only began to leave one after another when the wee hours came. Meanwhile, Murong Cheng and Nian Junting stayed to take care of Nian Xi.


    At 3:00 a.m, the doctor called Nian Junting over. Murong Cheng felt drowsy as she sat on the sofa, but just then, she noticed a silhouette at the entrance to the ward. When the silhouette silently slipped in, Murong Chengs eyes snapped open. She then realized that it was Feng Ji Chuan. He was holding onto a pail, along with some towels, a washbasin, and other items such as a toothbrush and toothpaste.


    Stunned, Murong Cheng stood up an

He was holding onto a pail, along with some towels, a washbasin, and other items such as a toothbrush and toothpaste.


    Stunned, Murong Cheng stood up and asked, Why havent you gone home yet?


    Im slightly worried since shes still unconscious. When Feng Ji Chuan uttered these simple and concise words, there was a subtle hint of concern in his sharp eyes


    d asked, Why havent you gone home yet?


    Im slightly worried since shes still unconscious. When Feng Ji Chuan uttered these simple and concise words, there was a subtle hint of concern in his sharp eyes

 Chapter 1477. Is Nian Xi Gone?

    Chapter 1477. Is Nian Xi Gone?


    Murong Cheng looked at him with mixed feelings.


    At the very beginning, she did not dislike Feng Ji Chuan. However, after he broke off the engagement with her daughter, and when she realized that it was because of the incident with Leng Shuangwei, she came to have a negative opinion of him. Leng Shuangwei was that womans daughter after all.


    I appreciate your help, Murong Cheng eventually uttered out these four words. You should also head back soon to rest.


    Lets wait until she regains consciousness. Otherwise, I wont be able to sleep even if I go home anyway. Feng Ji Chuan turned to look at Nian Xi, who was lying on the bed, and there was a deep look in his eyes.


    Just when Murong Cheng was about to say something, Feng Ji Chuan turned his head back and added, Dont worry, Aunty. I know that you dont like to see me. Ill go out now.


    After he said this, he began to walk out of the ward.


    Just then, Murong Cheng stood up and replied, Ji Chuan, things are over between the two of you. Xixi has a boyfriend now. Im sure youll meet a better person too.


    I have nothing to say if her boyfriend can treat her better than I do and give her a sense of security. Besides, Nian Xi isnt merely just my ex-girlfriend. We grew up together. With that, Feng Ji Chuan walked out of the ward.


    As the grey skies barely brightened, the person on the bed abruptly jerked up and let out a few muted moans.


    Nian Junting quickly paged for the doctor. After the doctor conducted another round of checks, Nian Xi slowly regained her consciousness. Her eyes weakly scanned the room before she murmured, Mom Brother Ji Chuan


    As she tried to string her words together, she felt tightness in her chest. Immediately after, the doctor swiftly cupped the oxygen mask over her mouth.


    Dont say anything. The doctor said that your lungs are slightly injured, so you better rest well. Murong Cheng caressed Nian Xis head, her heart awash with sympathy for her daughter.


    Nian Xi nodded her head.


    Xixi, are you hungry? Feng Ji Chuan asked gently. Ill go get you some breakfast.


    Its best for her to have some porridge and milk. Solid foods that are too tough arent suitable for her, the doctor reminded.


    Sure, Feng Ji Chuan replied, and he headed out of the ward before Nian Junting could do so.


    Nian Xi spaced out as she watched his silhouette disappear. Only after a long time did she then look at Murong Cheng helplessly. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out of her mouth.


    However, Murong Cheng could still discern that she was mouthing the word Jiang.


    We still cant reach him yet. Murong Cheng sighed. Luosang called him a few times, but nobody answered the call.


    Murong Cheng felt slightly sorry for Nian Xi, and after a pause, she added on, But Feng Ji Chuan kept watch in the ward for the entire night. He was the one who bought all those things.


    A frown formed on Nian Xis pale face. Shortly after, she yanked off her oxygen mask with all her strength and uttered, He doesnt answer calls from strangers.


    Nian Junting was utterly speechless. Is your sister-inw a stranger? He should at least save the contact details of his girlfriends family members. Isnt thismon sense?


    A dull look appeared in Nian Xis eyes. As Jiang Yuning was autistic, certain aspects of his character were unlike that of normal people, which Nian Xi had been well aware of since a long time ago. Hence, she heaved out a silent sigh in her heart before closing her eyes. The sense of difort in her chest made it impossible for her to speak.


    When it was past 7:00 a.m, Nian Qingyun and Luosang also dropped by, and they stayed right up till 9:00 a.m when Nian Xi was taken away for a check-up. Murong Cheng was now the only one left in the ward. All of a sudden, the door violently swung open, and Jiang Yuning barged in. He was wearing his whiteb coat, and a look of anxiety was written all over his refined face.


    Murong Cheng had been resting, but the sudden loudmotion made her jump in fright. She opened her eyes, and when she saw Jiang Yuning, she became incandescent with anger.


    Aunt Aunty, Wheres Xixi? Jiang Yuning stuttered as he asked. His delicate face was as white as a sheet of paper.


    Youre toote, Murong Cheng replied crossly.


    Late


    Jiang Yuning felt his head buzz.


    Was Nian Xi gone?


    Jiang Yuning recalled how his heart felt as if it wasing to a stop this morning when he received a WeChat message from Granny Nian saying that Nian Xi had sustained serious gunshot wounds and was in a critical condition.

 Chapter 1478

    Chapter 1478


    His mind was in a mess as he made his way to the hospital. He merely wished for Nian Xi to be safe and for her to tide over her critical condition.


    He could not understand why she would be gone so abruptly.


    She had called him the previous morning to get him to buy tickets for a movie that she liked, which would premiere in two days.


    He had already bought the tickets.


    Now that she was gone, there was nobody left to watch the movie with.


    Jiang Yuning seemed lost.


    He was in disbelief, and he felt that everyone was lying to him. In the next instant, he turned around and left without another word.


    Murong Cheng found his behavior baffling. Hey, hang on! Where are you going? she asked.


    However, despite calling after him for a long time, Jiang Yuning did not even bother answering her.


    Nian Junting and Nian Junlei were making their way towards the ward when they suddenly spotted Jiang Yuning walking towards them. He scuffled anxiously, and his footsteps were in a rush. His face was pale as if he had been dealt with a blow. There was a dazed, hollow look in his eyes, and he merely charged forward without ncing at them.


    Niang Junting frowned. He was expecting Jiang Yuning to greet him, but Jiang Yuning merely brushed past them as if he did not see them.


    Nian Junting instantly flew into a rage and immediately grabbed Jiang Yunings elbow. Where are you going?! Lets not talk about how we couldnt even reach you when Nian Xi was sent to the hospital. At the very least, shouldnt you greet us when you see us?!


    Niang Junting would brush this off in the past since he was aware of Jiang Yunings condition. However, after Jiang Yuning began dating Nian Xi, he had opened up more since then. He would even smile whenever he saw them. Thus, his current behavior made Nian Junting furious.


    Jiang Yuning merely continued to walk on without looking at him. His whiteb coat was already torn in half.


    Jiang Yuning! Nian Junting immediately yanked him over. Whats wrong with you?


    Jiang Yuning forcefully pushed his arm away and pursed his lips together. There was still a vacant expression in his eyes.


    Nian Junlei bit his tongue as he watched Jiang Yuning. Has he gone mad?


    Let go of me, Jiang Yuning finally spoke up. However, his voice was very soft.


    Where would you be going if I were to let you go? Nian Junting was relentless. I wont allow Nian Xi to be with you if you keep up with this nonsense!


    Let go of me Jiang Yuning merely repeated himself.


    Cant you understand what Im saying?! Nian Junting roared out in frustration.


    Jiang Yuning continued to ignore him and stubbornly insisted on leaving, but Nian Junting was unwilling to let go of his elbow. Just then, Jiang Yuning whipped his head back and began to breathe heavily. There was a cold, unfathomable expression in his eyes, which seemed to be as deep as a bottomless pit. Let me say this again. Let go of me.


    Even though Nian Junting had weathered many storms before, he too felt a sudden sense of chill.


    Just then, he suddenly heard Luosang speak from behind. Junting, what are you guys doing?


    Sister-inw, this dude Hespletely insane! When Nian Junlei turned around, he saw Luosang heading towards them with Nian Xi. Nian Xi was lying on the hospital bed and was being pushed over. There was a look of puzzlement in her listless eyes as she watched them.


    Nian Junting released his grip, and Jiang Yuning immediately walked away. As he brushed past Luosang, she called out to him, but he showed no response. Eventually, Nian Xi feebly called out his name, Jiang Yuning


    His tall, straight back instantly stiffened, and when he turned around to look towards the direction of the voice, he saw Nian Xi lying quietly on the hospital bed. Although she looked wan and haggard, her fair face and attractive features still looked beautiful and upright.


    He let out a soft gasp, and his eyes widened as he slowly made his way towards her. He nervously reached out his hand and touched her cheeks lightly and uneasily. Xixi, is this your soul that Im seeing? he asked gently.


    Nian Xi fell silent.


    Luosang looked around them and shivered. Coincidentally, her husband walked over, and she quickly went to him and cozied up against his chest.

 Chapter 1479. Are You Shocked? There, There

    Chapter 1479. Are You Shocked? There, There


    Xixi, its all my fault. I didnt even know that something had happened to you. I shouldnt have left youst night. I shouldve watched over you every single day. I shouldnt have gone back to sleep in theboratory. A sudden look of agony and helplessness appeared in Jiang Yunings jet-ck eyes. Didnt we agree on watching a movie together the day after tomorrow? What should I do if you were to leave so suddenly? What should I do if you were to leave me behind? I wouldnt want to live anymore. Take me with you!


    Nian Xi was already slightly baffled, to begin with. However, after she heard what he said, she became even more puzzled.


    However, he had always been innocent and genuine. When Nian Xi listened to his words of desperation, her heart inevitably ached.


    She was initially disappointed by how he did not show up when she was rushed into the hospital, as well as how uncontactable he was.


    However, when she saw his current behavior, she felt a lump form in her throat.


    Jiang Yuning Youll be the death of me. Nian Xi inhaled several breaths of air, and she felt a slight, painful ache in her lungs. Im not dead yet.


    Jiang Yunings jet-ck eyebrows quivered, and a look of confusion shed across his eyes. But your mom said that youre dead.


    Nian Xi was rendered speechless.


    She thought.


    Give me your hand, Nian Xi ordered feebly.


    Jiang Yuning reached his hand out obediently.


    Nian Xi then summoned all her strength and bit into his skin without going easy on him. His skin tore open, and fresh blood oozed out of his wound. Can I even bite you if Im dead? You fool!


    Jiang Yuning stared at his bleeding hand in stupefaction, before his jet-ck eyes gradually began to slide back into focus.


    In the next instant, he looked at Nian Xi again and began to touch her face, as if he could not believe she was right in front of him. When he felt her warmth, he asked, Am I hallucinating? Xixi, are you really alive?


    Of course Im alive Nian Xi would have beaten him up if she could get up. You dabble so much in science, and yet you believe in these strange superstitions! Arent you ashamed of yourself?


    I didnt believe in them until I met you. Jiang Yuning forcefully grabbed her hand, his face beaming with tion as if he had recovered what he had lost. Xixi, youre a cop, and sometimes, I get afraid that youd be in danger. But I cant stop you from being a cop because I like you. Thus, I told myself that there will be another life, and even if you and I are gone one day, we would still be able to meet in our next lives. I can only console myself like that.


    Nian Xi was not someone who would easily get emotional, especially in the presence of so many people. However, her eyes reddened when she heard what he said, and tears almost flowed out from her eyes. You fool! Ill live until 120 and not a day less!


    Jiang Yuning was momentarily stunned. But I think Ill have difficulties doing that.


    Nian Xiughed, but her wound and lungs instantly began to hurt, triggering a bout of coughs.


    Xixi, you you should stop talking. Jiang Yuning was scared silly when he saw how violently she was coughing, and he felt as helpless as a child.


    Lets head back to the ward first, the nurse said as she began to bring Nian Xi back into the ward.


    Luosang held onto Nian Juntings arm and eximed, Professor Jiangs very affectionate!


    Nian Junting replied coldly, You women are easily duped by his sweet talk. Everyone knows how to tter others, but being reliable is the most important thing about a man. This guy is too arrogant. He dared to re at me and even threaten me!


    Luosang blinked several times, her face riddled with doubt.


    Niang Junting inched closer to her and continued, Im serious! At that time, his gaze was pretty freaky. His aura was terrifying as well. It was as if he was going to kill me if I dared to utter another word.


    Luosang peeked at her husband, and she realized that he grew silent, which was rare and unusual.


    Dear, are you shocked? There, there. Luosang began to massage his chest teasingly.

 Chapter 1480. Feng Ji Chuan Watched Over Nian Xi Last Night

    Chapter 1480. Feng Ji Chuan Watched Over Nian Xi Last Night


    While Nian Junting enjoyed her massage, he still cared about his pride as a man. Of course not. I even weathered through death in times of war. Why would I be terrified by him? I merely think that this dude doesnt show any respect for his elders, he immediately rebutted.


    Youre right. Ill get him to apologize to youter on. Luo Sang nodded her head in agreement.


    When Murong Cheng saw everyone return to the ward, she immediately walked towards Nian Xi. Are you tired? Does it hurt anywhere?


    Nian Xi nced at her mother sullenly. I feel terrible all over, but the thing that Im the most ufortable with is the fact that you told Jiang Yuning that I was dead!


    I did not, Murong Cheng replied crossly. Why would I curse my daughter out of the blue?


    Nian Xi swept a disgruntled look at Jiang Yuning.


    Jiang Yuning seemed aggrieved as he scratched the back of his head. But Aunty, you clearly said that Xixi was gone. I thought you meant that


    I meant that she was gone for a check-up, Murong Cheng replied tly. I was in a bad mood, so I left out the subsequent parts of the sentence. Do you have a problem with that? Well, you shouldnt have jumped to conclusions.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head in silence. He did not dare to have an opinion about Nian Xis mother had said.


    Besides, we also talked to you in the corridor earlier on, and you should have seen your attitude towards us. Nian Junting began to settle scores with him.


    Yes. Nian Junlei nodded his head in agreement. You were very fierce to us.


    Jiang Yuning looked at them nkly, before asking hesitantly, Since when did I bump into you guys?


    Nian Junting was speechless.


    He had tussled with Jiang Yuning for a long time earlier on, and Jiang Yuning had even red at him. To think that Jiang Yuning did not care about him at all!


    Nian Junlei choked when he heard Jiang Yunings reply, and he gave a thumbs up to Jiang Yuning. Impressive! Weve talked to you for so long, we might as well be talking to the air.


    Im sorry, Jiang Yuning said apologetically. My mind waspletely nk earlier on. I genuinely have no idea what I did.


    Nian Junting smirked coldly. Whats the point in apologizing? When can you correct all these ws of yours? If Nian Xi had left usst night, you truly wouldnt be able to see her anymore. We kept calling you, but you never answered your phone. Lets assume that youve married Nian Xi and she became pregnant. If we cant reach you during the critical moment of herbor, then whats the point in having a husband like you?


    Nian Xi remained silent. While she was aware of Jiang Yunings autism, she was disappointed when she heard about how uncontactable he was when she regained consciousness in the morning.


    Nian Juntings words were like a hammer, clobbering against Jiang Yunings heart a few times.


    Jiang Yunings eyes dimmed. He knew that he was not considered normal whenpared with other people. However, he was slowly changing himself throughout all the years that he had known Nian Xi. My phone rang several timesst night. I was doing my experiment at the time, and because the call was from an unknown number, I didnt pick it up.


    You better store our numbers as soon as possible then, Luosang replied quickly, out of fear that Nian Junting would continue to lecture Jiang Yuning. You should also store the contact details of all of Nian Xis family members. If not, none of us would be able to reach you. Feng Ji Chuan watched over Nian Xi for the whole ofst night. He even bought her fruits, breakfast, and necessities. Sigh.


    Jiang Yuning immediately panicked when he heard what she said. His jet ck eyes looked as helpless as a fawn in shock. Xixi he murmured.


    Yeah. Im hurting and I need to rest. Nian Xi closed her eyeszily.


    Alright Jiang Yuning nodded his head furiously, before turning to ask the nurse about Nian Xis condition.

 Chapter 1481

    Chapter 1481


    Murong Cheng didnt sleep well the night before, so Luosang asked her to head home first. She had nned to stay herself, as it was more convenient since they were all girls.


    Jiang Yuning turned to Luosang and said, You can go home too. Just leave her to me. I will take good care of Xixi.


    No, its ok. I think you should stay, Sangsang, Nian Xi said with her eyes closed.


    Jiang Yuning looked disappointed as he lowered his headNian Xi must be still mad at him. She didnt even want him to take care of her.


    Luosang noticed his sad face. He looked like Xiaosi when he didnt get a treat. She pitied him and exined, Some things are easier and more convenient when its all girls around.


    I understand, Jiang Yuning said reluctantly.


    Luosang kept quiet.


    She wondered if he fully understood everything she had just said.


    When everyone had left, some colleagues and friends dropped by to visit Nian Xi at the hospital. Nian Xi tried her best to entertain her visitors. At around noon, an unshaven Captain Chen went over to visit. Nian Xi, Im so sorry. I should have visited youst night but Ive been up all night interrogating some suspects. They only revealed the location where they hid all the abducted women this morning. I had to n a mission to rescue all of them safely, but because of the hostility and physical abuse by the suspects, one of the women had to be sent to the hospital.


    What perverts, Nian Xi said through gritted teeth. Thank goodness they rescued the victims in time. We must put this man behind bars.


    Of course, but we have to look into where he got his firearms from. I dont understand how a farmer can get his hands on a Beretta 92F, said an exhausted Captain Chen, perplexed.


    Nian Xi frowned, Youre worried that theres an underground arms trafficking ring involved in this?


    But the guy insisted that he picked it up in the woods, Captain Chen smirked. I think this whole thing is fishy. ording to my investigation, this guy hasnt been able to find a wife because of his family condition. Rejection and alienation from hismunity were what gave birth to his twisted mindset and perverted tendenciesthats why he ended up abducting women. I made a home visit and his living conditions were terrible. He couldnt have had enough money to buy a gun like that. At most, he could only afford a hunting rifle.


    Thats true Nian Xi frowned. Last night, he rushed out all of a sudden and started shooting right away. Hes quite a vicious one. No matter what the results of his psychological evaluation are, I think he needs to be locked uphes got sociopathic tendencies.


    Dont worry about it anymore, just focus on recuperating and getting better.


    When Captain Chen left, Nian Xi looked at Luosang worriedly.


    Jiang Yuning who was just listening stood up suddenly and said enthusiastically, Xixi, you can tell me if you need anything.


    Nian Xi looked at him, perplexed. Luosangughed and asked, Do you need to go to the bathroom?


    Nian Xi nodded.


    Jiang Yuning quickly said again, But the doctor said that you shouldnt move around now. Ill go get the adult potty for you.


    He quickly took it out from under the bed.


    Nian Xi was blushing as she looked at him and said, Im a girl, how am I supposed to use that?


    Jiang Yuning was speechless. He looked at it for a moment before he finally realized, You are right


    Luosang tried hard to hold back herughter as she took out a bedpan, Mr. Jiang, can you please excuse yourself for a moment?


    Jiang Yuning was frustrated at himself again, Im sorry, Xixi. Im used to taking care of my dad back in the day, so I didnt think too much about it. Luosang, let me do it, I really can handle it. I have to get used to these things. I cant always trouble you to take care of my girlfriend.


    He emphasized the word girlfriend.

 Chapter 1482. I Am Her Boyfriend

    Chapter 1482. I Am Her Boyfriend


    Luosang was amused. She wasnt even part of his love triangledid he really have to im his territory like that?


    She turned around and noticed Nian Xis troubled face. She realized how insensitive and ignorant the man was.


    Its alright, Sangsang can help me. You should excuse yourself, said Nian Xi weakly, but with a firm gaze.


    Jiang Yuning felt like a deted balloonhe was instantly dejected. He didnt dare object, so he walked out of the room with his head hung low.


    After he had walked out, Luosangughed, Its alright, isnt it? I dont believe you guys just stopped at holding hands, kissing, and hugging.


    She knew a thing or two about these things, so she easily noticed how intimate their rtionship had gotten.


    Nian Xi was a little embarrassed. Luckily, she had lost a bit too much blood the night before, so she couldnt even blush. Sangsang, would you take a piss in front of my brother? Huh? Would you?


    Luosang was taken aback by her choice of words.


    I have to save some dignity for myself. Nian Xi sighed. Im already super embarrassed in my current state. I look so ill and pale. I dont want him to see me pooping and peeing all over eitherI dont think Id be able to live with that for the rest of my life.


    I dont think Professor Jiang would mind at all. Besides, he looked quite hurt when you rejected him earlier. Luosangughed, Men are silly sometimesthey never know what women are thinking.


    Jiang Yuning specifically was quite oblivious to things going on around him. When he came back into the room, he checked the bedpan under the bed. He looked at Luosang with a troubled expression. Just leave it next time. I can pour it away.


    Nian Xi pulled her nket over her face and said with embarrassment, Jiang Yuning, why do you have to talk so much?


    Jiang Yuning thought that she wasining about the amount of noise he was making, so he kept quiet after that.


    Uncle Han delivered lunch to them, and Jiang Yuning fed Nian Xi in the afternoon.


    At around two oclock, the doctor went over to do an electrocardiogram on Nian Xi. When he looked around the room, he thought that Jiang Yuning was Luosangs boyfriend and asked, Why isnt your boyfriend around today? He came to ask me about your condition this morning. He seemed pretty concerned.


    Nian Xi was a little confused. Doctor Liao, you must be mistaken.


    Her boyfriend was sitting right there with his back straight and his face confused.


    Mistaken? Doctor Liao was puzzled. That tall man with tanned skin Isnt that your boyfriend? He looked quite manly.


    Nian Xi knew who he was referring to instantly. She was a little surprisedshe thought that Feng Jichuan had already left early in the morning. She didnt know that he went to the doctor to check up on her.


    As Nian Xi was distracted, Jiang Yuning quickly stood up to introduce himself to the doctor. I am her boyfriend.


    The doctor was a little surprised. He realized that he had made a mistake and corrected himself, Im sorry, I havent met you before


    Jiang Yuning was disappointed. If he had arrived earlier, the doctor wouldnt have made that mistake. He said to Doctor Liao, Please update me about my girlfriends condition in the future. Also, Im really grateful to you for saving my girlfriends life.


    He formally shook the doctors hand. I will always remember your kindness and benevolence.


    The doctor was speechless.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed by his shameless disy of gratitude.


    Jiang Yuning took his phone and asked, Can I please have your number?


    After the doctor had given him his number, Jiang Yuning added, Can I add you on WeChat, QQ, or even have your email address? Just in case I cant reach you on your phone, Id rest easier if theres another way of contacting you.


    The doctor, with beads of sweat dripping all over, replied nervously, Dont worry, you can definitely reach me on the phone. Doctors have to keep our cellphones turned on 24/7.

 Chapter 1483. Xixis Sister-In-Law Was SuChapter a Lovely Person

    Chapter 1483. Xixi''s Sister-In-Law Was SuChapter a Lovely Person


    Jiang Yuning asked, What if I cant get through?


    The doctor was about to break downhe didnt expect this good-looking, handsome fe to be such a pain in the neck. Then our sries will get docked.


    The doctor seemed extra eager to leave the room after he was done with his examination. He was afraid that Jiang Yuning would continue talking to him.


    Luosang was clutching her stomach as she helplessly tried to hold back herughter.


    Professor Jiang was hrious.


    It was no wonder that Nian Xi chose to get together with himhe was absolutely hrious.


    Just as she was doneughing, Jiang Yuning turned to her and took out his little notepad, Sorry, can I trouble you to write down all of your contact details? Apart from your handphone number, your QQ, WeChat, email address, Facebook, Tantan, Momo


    Luosang was speechless.


    She then realized how with the doctor from earlier on had felt and empathized with him.


    Nian Xi cleared her throat and said with amusement, I didnt know that you know about Tantan and Momo as well. I thought you dont even have a QQ mailbox?


    I went online and searched for the most trendy and popr ways people stay in contact nowadays. Im just worried that something like this happens again in the future, so I want to know how to reach all the people around you, Jiang Yuning said seriously.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes, Besides you, its pretty easy to get in touch with everyone elsejust a phone call will do.


    I will do better Jiang Yuning said sadly.


    Luosangughed to ease the atmosphere, Its alright. Men always take a while to grow and learn. This is Professor Jiangs first rtionship, after all. Theres no way to get it perfectly right the first time. I think from now on, you will be contactable 24/7 by phone, am I right?


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head vigorously. Xixis sister-inw was such a lovely person.


    Nian Xi nced sideways at Jiang Yuning and said, Forget about Momo or Tantan. Do you know what those tforms are for? Its for people to get in touch with each other.


    Jiang Yuning was confused. Touch what?


    Luosang let out a forced coughshe didnt want to be any part of that conversation. Um Im going out to make a phone call.


    She wouldve be a real lightbulb in the room if she had stayed any longer.


    After the door closed behind Luosang, Nian Xi inhaled sharply and exined, Touch you all over your body. Im talking about strangers and casual sex.


    Jiang Yuning frowned deeply and shook his head. I wont use it anymore then.


    Mm, said Nian Xi as she shut her eyes. She had spoken too much, and she was feeling a little out of breath.


    Jiang Yuning sat closer to her bed now that the door was closed. He held Nian Xis cold hands and asked softly, Xixi, does it hurt a lot?


    Yes, Nian Xi replied softly.


    Jiang Yuning bit his lips. He didnt know what to do. He hated to see her in pain, but he didnt know what else he could do to make her feel better. Xixi, its all my fault. I was too careless. I should have made a bulletproof helmet and pants for you too.


    Nian Xi burst intoughter but winced in pain right after she did. She had to endure the pain as she asked, A bulletproof helmet? Do you want me to look like a bank robber?


    Dontugh, Im serious. Jiang Yuning pursed his lips seriously. I really want to beat up that guy who hurt you.


    Justice will be will be served. Nian Xi shook her head, Dont worry, you modified the bulletproof vest really well for me. The doctor said that the bullet would have gone right through my chest if it wasnt for the vest. Im lucky to have you by my side.


    Jiang Yuning winced when she talked about a bullet passing through her chest. Xixi, are you still mad at me? You arent upset anymore that I wasnt the first person by your bedside when you woke up?


    Who cares if youre the first person I see? Nian Xi rolled her eyes. I wanted to see my parents more badly.

 Chapter 1484. Nian Xi Was All About the Action

    Chapter 1484. Nian Xi Was All About the Action


    Jiang Yuning was frustrated but he could understand.


    Her parents were the ones who raised her after all.


    Do you want to see me next then?


    I want to see my brother next, and my grandparents too, Nian Xi said as she smiled apathetically.


    Jiang Yuning gritted his teeth. He had to give inthey were her family after all. Whos next then?


    Before Nian Xi could reply, he quickly interrupted her and said, If its still not me next, Im going to be Im going to get angry.


    Nian Xi nearly burst intoughter watching his sad face, and she tried hard not to. She couldnt stand the guy, making her crack up even when she was injured. What are you going to do when youre angry?


    Jiang Yuning looked at her with resentment. All sorts of ideas floated through his head but he didnt think it was a good idea to act on any of them. Finally, he said, I wont do anything as long as youre not angry at me. I know I am far from being perfectIve been trying my best to improve ever since I met you. I didnt even enjoy listening to others talk about this, but Ive been paying attention to whatever your family says. I didnt like using phones in the past, but Im trying to learn it now. Xixi, Ill do my best to change, alright? Ill be a man that you can rely on and trust. I promise that this will never happen again


    Nian Xi was pleased to hear this from him, but the tone of his voice changed towards the end. Of course, this shouldnt happen again. Do you want me to get shot by a gun again?


    Of course not Jiang Yuning shook his head vigorously. I mean, Ill be by your side when you go intobor next time.


    Who said anything about having children with you? Nian Xi rolled her eyes.


    Jiang Yuning looked disappointed, Well, Ill be there even if you have children with another man.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    What an idiot.


    It would be so ufortable if he was around while she had children with another man.


    That day would probably nevere, though.


    Stop talking, my lungs feel a little tired. I need some peace and quiet, Nian Xi said softly but ufortably.


    Alright, go to sleep then, Jiang Yuning said quickly. Ill be by your side.


    Nian Xi slept for about an hour and when she woke up, she felt bored as she couldnt move around or do anything. Jiang Yuning decided to read her a novel.


    Luosang overheard their conversation while she was sitting in the room.


    Jiang Yuning said, Xixi, let me read you the book The Three-body Problem written by Liu Cixin. I think this book is very well written, and the storyline is very creative, I like it a lot


    Nian Xi said, I dont want that. Read Jin Mei to me.


    Jiang Yuning was bbergasted.


    Luosang nearly spat out all the water that she was drinking. Nian Xi truly led a tough and tenacious life.


    Jiang Yuning said, Its hard to read that book. Why dont I read you The Ouws of the Marsh instead?


    Nian Xi replied, Fine, read me Battle Through the Heavens then.


    Jiang Yuning was a little tongue-tied. That book has about five million words


    Nian Xi replied, Yeah, whats wrong with that?


    Jiang Yuning said, Nothing


    Luosang felt bad for Jiang Yuning as she witnessed the whole exchange. She pitied him for having to read such a long novel, but he should have known better than to suggest reading a sci-fi novel to Nian Xishe was all about the action after all.


    When the two of them were engaged with the novel, Luosang went to give Sister Lan a call. Is Little Apple making a fuss when were all not around?


    Nope, hes ying with Liuxi, Sister Lan said. Liuxi heard about Little Missys ident and he volunteered toe over in the morning to take care of Little Apple. Hes doing a fantastic jobhes even more professional than me.

 Chapter 1485. Do You Want Some Hugs or Kisses?

    Chapter 1485. Do You Want Some Hugs or Kisses?


    Luosang recalled that her brother was only starting school after the Lantern Festival. As Nian Xi was going to be in the hospital for a week, she would probably have to stay there to take care of her. She was d that there was someone to take care of Little Apple while she was away, although she was curious to find out what happened at his girlfriends house.


    During dinner, Nian Junting called her, Im going to the police station beforeing overter.


    Alright, Luosang said as she had her dinner.


    Are you eating? Nian Junting asked as he could hear the sound of her chewing.


    Luosang looked over at Jiang Yuning who was spoon-feeding Nian Xi. He was so meticulous and sweeta spoonful of rice followed by a spoonful of toppings. He was even more patient than she was with Little Apple.


    She sighed and said, Nope, Im full from looking at the public disy of affection right here.


    Nian Junting took a moment to get what she was saying. I thought we were the masters at public disys of affection?


    Yeah, well someone else is one-upping us today.


    Nian Junting paused before saying, Are you saying that you miss me? Do you want some hugs or kisses?


    Luosang kept quiet.


    Why did he twist her words again?


    Behave yourself. Ill be there soon after I go to the police station. Muah, Nian Junting said quickly.


    He hung up immediately and Luosang nearly choked on her food.


    Some time had passed since then.


    At seven oclock, Feng Jichuan, Zhan Hong, and Cheng Jing went over to visit Nian Xi.


    The three of them brought along a bunch of tonics and fruits. Feng Jichuan was carrying a bouquet of tulips in his hands as well. The hospital ward reeks of disinfectant and chemicals. I thought flowers would help clear the air a little. Maybe itll make you feel better and morefortable too.


    Thank you Nian Xi said. She looked at him with gratitude as sheid on her bed.


    She knew about everything he had done for her the night before. He was even more mature and sweet to her after they broke up.


    But they were now a thing of the past.


    Jiang Yuning was standing on the side as he frowned anxiously. He didnt know what else to do so he continued reading from his phone, The night was dark and the moon hung high. It was the perfect opportunity to kill someone, with the wind blowing in the night sky


    Everyone looked at him strangely. Cheng Jing asked, Professor Jiang, what are you doing?


    Im reading Battle Of the Heavens to Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning replied, looking innocent.


    Oh my goodness, thats a really long book, isnt it? Zhan Hong said, When I read that book, I skimmed through it really quickly but it still took me about a week to finish it. Youre going to take forever if youre reading it word for word, line by line.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head, Its alright, as long as Nian Xi enjoys it. After this, Im nning to read Jin Mei to her as wellshe likes it.


    The room fell awkwardly silent.


    Nian Xi wanted to crawl underneath the bed out of embarrassment. She was just teasing him in the afternoon but he took her seriously, and right there and then, he had exposed her in front of everyone


    She was being judged by all of them.


    She red at Jiang Yuning who didnt notice her at all; he was busy staring at Feng Jichuan.


    Feng Jichuan clenched his fists and cleared his throat before saying, Its not good to read that book. Its a forbidden book, full of taboos. One of you is a police officer and one of you is a scientistyou should be reading something more positive and educational.


    He is just joking, Nian Xi said sheepishly as she threw Jiang Yuning another look.


    He caught it this time and quickly nodded, I was just joking. Its gettingte, we should be watching the news now. Mr. Feng, I think its time for you to go back.


    Feng Jichuan was dumbstruckwhat has watching the news got to do with him going home? He retorted, Im sorry, I dont watch the news.


    Jiang Yuning was speechless.

 Chapter 1486. He Did Do It on Purpose

    Chapter 1486. He Did Do It on Purpose


    Everyone could tell that he was getting jealous and finding an excuse to chase Feng Ji Chuan away, but nobody knew what else to say. They couldnte up with an appropriate answer to the situation. Finally, Cheng Jing said, Nian Xi needs some rest. I think we should head back now that weve already seen her.


    Yeah, Zhan Hong said. Come on.


    Alright. Feng Ji Chuan wasnt nning on staying anyway. He didnt leave the previous night because he was worried about her. Now that her life was no longer in any danger, and she was well-taken care of, there was no need for him to stay and impose on them.


    When he reached the door, he turned and said to Jiang Yuning, You should peel some kiwi fruit for her to replenish some vitamin C.


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    The room was finally quiet again and Nian Xi was ready to reprimand Jiang Yuning. Who said you could tell people that I enjoyed Jin Mei? Did you do it on purpose?


    I didnt, Jiang Yuning shook his head. You said you wanted to hear it in the afternoon.


    Nian Xi was at a loss for words. If she wasnt injured, she would have gotten up and hit him. Well you cant say that in front of so many people.


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips and didnt say a word.


    He did do it on purpose.


    He wanted Feng Ji Chuan to know how liberal and wild he and Nian Xi were together.


    Luosang couldnt bear to watch them anymore, Alright, if youre not embarrassed about saying it yourself, you shouldnt be embarrassed about other people finding out.


    Nian Xi said in a frustrated tone, Sangsang, why are you helping him and not me? Dont forget, you are my real sister-inw, not an impostor.


    Im on the side of reason, Luosang smiled.


    You guys are ganging up against a patient, Nian Xi grunted. Sangsang, its gettingte. Will you help me get some water to wash up with? You can go back after thismy brother should be arriving soon.


    Jiang Yuning scooted closer, Xixi, Im good at these sorts of things. Have you forgotten? You made me serve you tea and wash your feet. I even cut your toenails for you before.


    Luosangughed, Hes doing such a good job, I better leave it up to him.


    Dont, Nian Xi said quickly. It wasnt the same thingshe wanted Luosang to help her with her private area. She wasnt usually embarrassed when they were getting it on after taking a shower, but she was dirty and unclean at that moment. She didnt want him to be repulsed by her as they werent even married yet.


    Luosang could read her mind and she walked over to her, whispering, This is the time to put him to the test. I know what youre thinking. Youre embarrassed and youre afraid of ruining your image. But for two people to get together and stay together, you have to be prepared to show each other your worst sides. You can use this opportunity to observe him. You should consider swapping him out with someone else if hes too concerned over things like that. Thats how your brother and I managed to get so farI took care of him when his legs were injured, and Ive seen him at his worst and lowest. I still love him through everything. That is the kind of love that willst a lifetime.


    Nian Xi was shocked. Im not like my brother, alright? He would still think the world of himself even if he fell into a pit full of crap. I still have self-awareness.


    Luosang chuckled. Im serious. This is the perfect time to see if this is the man youd want to spend the rest of your life with. Youre not getting any youngeryou can even get married this year. Dont waste his time if you dont think the two of you are ipatible.


    Nian Xiughed, You act so different now that youre married. You speak such wise words even though youre younger than me.

 Chapter 1487. Do You Think That My Leg Isnt As Pretty Anymore…

    Chapter 1487. Do You Think That My Leg Isn''t As Pretty Anymore��


    Well, I definitely know more about marriage than you, Luosang said.


    Nian Xi fell silent for a while, then said, Nevermind, you should go home. I understand what youre saying.


    Jiang Yuning saw the two women exchanging a few words before Luosang left. He was a little confused, but d. Xixi, since shes gone, you only have me to wipe you down.


    His eyes gave away his joy.


    Nian Xi nced at him. He added, It isnt appropriate to keep troubling her, either. After all, you arent single, and she also has a child and husband


    Alright, hurry up and pour me a ss of water. Nian Xi couldnt stand hearing his excuses anymore.


    Jiang Yuning dly walked towards the bathroom. As it was his first time, he was especially serious and careful to leave a good impression on Nian Xi.


    When his eyes swept past her thigh that was wrapped inyers of bandage, he could only imagine how bloody it would be on the inside.


    His heart ached.


    Why are you looking at my thigh? Nian Xi awkwardly shifted her legs. Is it because you think that my leg isnt as pretty as it used to be?


    No, Jian Yuning hurriedly shook his head. It doesnt matter if its pretty or not. What I like isnt your leg, but you.


    What if I actually became a cripple? Nian Xi asked in a low voice. The doctor said that if it were just a few millimeters more, I wouldnt be able to move my leg anymore.


    I can always make a prosthetic limb for you Jiang Yuning said after a short pause.


    Nian Xi kept quiet.


    That wasnt what she wanted to hear.


    Nian Xi gritted her teeth, Thank you, but I have enough money to make my own prosthetic limb. I dont need you to make one for me.


    I can make a better one, Jiang Yuning said stubbornly.


    Nian Xi sighed. That wasnt the kind of conversation that male and female leads had in romance novels.


    Jiang Yuning could tell that she became upset all of a sudden, and got a little confused. He didnt know what was wrong with what he said, but still added, You wont be a cripple, and even if you do, Ill never leave you.


    Thank goodness he isnt incorrigible, Nian Xi muttered.


    After wiping her down, Jiang Yuning continued to read to her. Nian Xi only fell asleep at nine oclock that night.


    Only then did his gaze move to the tulips at the bedside.


    He had his eyes on that bouquet of flowers for a long time now. He had never hated tulips so much in his life. He didnt like it when things sent by other men were this close to Nian Xi.


    Werent they just reminding her of Feng Ji Chuans existence at every fleeting moment? He needed to think of a way to get rid of that bouquet.


    It was a quiet and uneventful night at the hospital after that.


    The next morning, Nian Xi woke up from the pain in her wound. Her head was spinning, and she felt very ufortable.


    The moment she opened her eyes, she found Jiang Yuning leaning innocently at her bedside. His raven ck hair fell over his raven ckshes, and his cheeks were squished together. He looked so gentle and quiet that she wanted to reach out and pat his head.


    She didnt hold herself back.


    Jiang Yuning sat up immediately, Xixi, are you ufortable anywhere?


    His eyes were still bleary, and he had dark eye circles on his fair face.


    No. Why didnt you lie down on the bedst night? Nian Xi said, It is so ufortable to be leaning down. You could have slept on the sofa too.


    I was worried that I would press against your wound if Iy on the bed and if your familyes suddenly, they might be unhappy. Jiang Yuning rubbed his eyes and realized that it was already bright outside. Xixi, are you thirsty? Ill get you some warm water.

 Chapter 1488. I Do Love Science, But I Love You More

    Chapter 1488. I Do Love Science, But I Love You More


    Nian Xi agreed to his suggestion.


    The thermos sk was on the side table; he poured water into it. She looked in his direction, and realized that the bulbs of the beautifully wrapped tulips were all goneonly the long stalks and wrapping paper were left. From her years of experience as a policewoman, she could tell that they were broken off on purpose by someone.


    She was silent for a moment before asking, How did the tulips be like this?


    Jiang Yunings hand shook a little. Indeed. What happened? They were still fine when I went to sleepst night.


    Nian Xi kept quiet.


    Could he have gotten any more obvious? It was so obvious that he didnt even dare to look her in the eye when he said that.


    Why did the flowers disappear? Nian Xi asked him directly.


    Maybe they were eaten by rats, Jiang Yuning replied sheepishly.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    Rats eating flowers? Did he think that she was an idiot?


    Seeing as how he was breaking out in cold sweat, she couldnt bring herself to put him on the spot.


    So the VIP ward has rats. That is really horrifying. You must remember to catch the rats for me in the morning.


    Yes, yes, have some water, Jiang Yuning passed her the water, guiltily.


    After she was done, he said, These flowers arent pretty anymore without the bulbslet me throw them out. Ill get Uncle Han to deliver a few more bouquetster. Ill make sure that the ward smells fantastic.


    Do what you want. Nian Xi was amused. All men were jealous creatures, no matter what kind of person they seem to be.


    After washing up, Jiang Yuning sat by her bedside and said seriously, Xixi, I talked to the doctor yesterday. She said that your leg needs at least three months to fully heal, and its going to be at least a month before you can start walking. This month, I want to take care of you myself.


    Nian Xi was taken aback for a moment. My parents want me to return to the Nian Family Mansion. My family is there to take care of me


    I know, said Jiang Yuning with a troubled look on his face before continuing, but at the mansion, I wont be able to stayte until you fall asleep every night. After all, your dad, uncle, and the others are all thereit wouldnt be appropriate for me to be there. I might as well take a months leave to take care of you.


    Can you do that? asked Nian Xi, surprised. Didnt say that you have to investigate some photoelectric effect in January and that you have to give a talk in Korean in February and dont you have to give a lecture once a week at the university?


    Im not going anymore, Ill get someone else to go, Jiang Yuning said nonchntly. Youre more important than anything else.


    Nian Xi was very touched, but also apologetic. You


    Ive already made calls to cancel all of those. Jiang Yuning told her directly, with fire zing in his eyes, I do love science, but I love you more. I want to stay with you during your most difficult time.


    Nian Xi choked up in an instant. She remembered Luosangs words. Perhaps that would prove to be the test for the two of themto find out if he was worth spending the rest of her life with. If someone was willing to be with you at the lowest point of your life, then there should be no problem with anything thates your way for the rest of your life.


    Some time had passed since then.


    Nian Xi stayed at the hospital for a week. The doctor only approved her discharge the day before the Lantern Festival.


    During the few days before getting discharged, Nian Xi told her family that she decided to go back to her own apartment to recuperate and that Jiang Yuning would be taking care of her. Although Nian Qingyun and Nian Junting were strongly against it initially, Luosang talked it over with them and they eventually agreed.


    After sending Nian Xi back to the apartment, Nian Qingyun inspected it from top to bottom, before finally saying to Jiang Yuning, I dont care who you are, and let me warn youyou cannot take advantage of my daughters injury to crawl into her bed.

 Chapter 1489. Actually, I Was The One Who Secretly Carried You Into Bed And Set You Up

    Chapter 1489. Actually, I Was The One Who Secretly Carried You Into Bed And Set You Up


    Jiang Yuning nodded guiltily.


    He did, after all, climb up there a long time ago.


    Nian Junting and Luosang left together. On their way back, he said in an upset tone, That Jiang Yuning is too cunning. Nian Xi definitely wont be able to keep her chastity this time.


    Luosang gave him a doubtful look.


    Nian Junting said in a low voice, Think about itNian Xi has trouble moving around now, so Jiang Yuning will definitely set up a small bed beside her to watch over her at night. As he watches over her, hell climb into her bed


    Luosang blinked in disbelief. Why did that scenario sound so familiar?


    Nian Junting continued, Just like you and me in the past. I also had trouble moving around, so you carried me onto the bed.


    Luosang was speechless.


    After so many years, Im finally vindicated from this gross injustice, Luosang rolled her eyes sarcastically. Dont assume that all the men in the world are as shameless and dirty as you. Jiang Yuning will never do something like that, and even if he does it will be


    What will it be? Nian Junting asked hurriedly.


    She couldnt possibly say that it would be Nian Xi who would carry him to the bed. After all, Nian Xi probably wasnt that strong.


    Stop overthinking it, Nian Xi is injured and he isnt a beast.


    They continued their way home.


    At eight in the evening, Jiang Yuning panted as he carried Nian Xi, who was wrapped with a bath towel, out from the bathroom. He ced her down on the bed, then said softly, Xixi, youve gained weight recently.


    What did you say?


    Nian Xi had just taken a bath. She felt as if she had just shed ayer of skin from her entire body and felt very rxed. Hearing his words, a sharp gaze immediately pierced at him.


    No matter how dull he was, he could still sense the imminent danger. Jiang Yuning stammered, I said that you grew fuller.


    Nian Xis heart screamed in pain. Why must her leg be injured? She really wanted to pounce on him right there and then.


    Just as the atmosphere had gotten more surreal, Jiang Yunings phone rang.


    He picked up immediately after looking at the number. Mom


    Son, its the Lantern Festival tomorrow. Your dad and I are finally back from stargazing in Bolivia. Come back to Beijing and have a meal with us tomorrow, Shi Qingtong continued,  you can also bring your girlfriend with you. Youve been freeloading off her family this Lunar New Year, so it will be good for your dad and I to meet her. Oh right, theres been a breakthrough on ck holes while we were stargazing in Bolivia, so we can have a discussion on that as well.


    Jiang Yuning was in a tight spot. He nced at Nian Xi and said, Her leg is injured. I need to take care of her, so I wont being back to eat with you.


    Is that so? Shi Qingtongs voice had a slight air of regret to it. Then you should stay there. Oh yes, doe with us to Rome this Aprilmany scientists have received strange electronic signals from outer space recently.


    Okay. Jiang Yunings face turned serious.


    He hung up ten minutester. Nian Xi eximed jokingly, Dont bring an alien back for me, alright?

 Chapter 1490. Today Is The Lantern Festival

    Chapter 1490. Today Is The Lantern Festival


    Jiang Yuning gave her a strange look after hearing her words. Aliens are too far away from us. If you really want to see them, you might be able to after a few thousand or million years.


    Nian Xi nched. No, thank you, I dont want to see them at all. Can you bring my clothes over? I want to get dressed.


    Jiang Yuning was embarrassed at the fact that he only just remembered that she had not gotten dressed yet. He hurriedly brought some clothes to her. She had no problem putting on the shirt herself, but because her leg was injured, there was no way she could put on the pants.


    Although he had been helping her the entire week, he still felt embarrassed every single time. He felt that since he had seen almost all of Nian Xi, it would be ludicrous if he didnt marry her in this lifetime. Xixi, when Im back from Rome lets meet my parents.


    He stammered out.


    Nian Xi looked up at him. His clear eyes were filled with anticipation.


    Alright, she said after a moments thought.


    After getting dressed, she watched some television while Jiang Yuning did herundry for her. Even her undergarments were scrubbed clean.


    Although Nian Xi waszy, she had always washed her own undergarments. However, due to her current situation, he was the one washing all of her things for her. His actions had indeed touched her.


    Luosang had said that that was the time to test him. Although she couldnt contact him in time the day she was injured, his progress since then would definitely be awarded the highest grades.


    Another day had passed, just like all the other days before.


    It was the next morning.


    When Nian Xi woke up, Jiang Yuning had already left her side.


    She walked out with her crutch. Hearing movement, Jiang-Jiang immediately ran out of the kitchen, barking. Jiang Yuning also followed behind hurriedly while frowning, Why did you walk out by yourself without calling me first? Hurry up and sit down.


    Stop overreacting. Im fine if I lean on my crutch. Nian Xi covered her mouth to yawn as she asked, What are you making?


    Im cooking Tangyuanits the Lantern Festival today, Jiang Yuning said with a smile.


    Where did the Tangyuane from?


    Uncle Han delivered some this morning.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    Uncle Han worked really hard.


    Fifteen minutester, Jiang Yuning carried over a bowl of Tangyuan, as well as some toast. The toast was topped with cheese, evaporated milk, and egg. The food tasted delicious.


    Nian Xi had to admit that his cooking had improved tremendously. Well be going to the mansion to celebrate the Lantern Festival today. Lets drop by the supermarketterwe cant go empty-handed.


    She only just finished talking when a call came from Captain Chen. The perpetrator died in prisonst night.


    Nian Xi was shocked as she quickly swallowed the Tangyuan. Suicide?


    Im not sure. His corpse was sent to the forensics department for an autopsy. Captain Chen continued, He died quite peacefully, and the police only found out the next morning. There wasnt any injury on his bodyhe looked as if he died from overdosing on sleeping pills. But how could he possibly acquire items like that while in prison? Its really strange.


    Nian Xi agreed that it was indeed strange. Perhaps he has some illness that were unaware of. Its unlikely that he would take his own life since he wasnt sentenced to death. He also had some mental illness, so he couldve just been sent to a mental hospital.


    Captain Chen fell silent for a moment before saying, I hope so. Anyway I hope this wasnt a case of revenge. After all, even if a policeman is injured along the way, we must still follow thew.


    Captain Chen, what are you trying to say? Nian Xi sensed a double entendre in his words.


    When your brother visited thest time, I told him that the perpetrator was mentally ill, so the judge might show somepassion and give a lighter sentence. Your brother got really angry and said that he wouldnt let that guy off so easy. Captain Chen sighed. To be honest, knowing what your brother is capable of, killing that guy is probably

 Chapter 1491. Like... Uncle, Dont Like... Daddy

    Chapter 1491. Like... Uncle, Don''t Like... Daddy


    Nian Xi got angry before he even finished. Captain Chen, you dont know my brother, so you dont understand the kind of person he is but I do. I can tell you with full confidence that everyone in the Nian family has a deep-rooted military history. My brother was trained in the army since young, so he knows better than anyone what discipline and abiding by thew means. Even when my granny was stabbed by someone and faced certain death, he sucked it up andplied with thew. While he may say things like that, he will never do anything illegal.


    Please dont get all worked up, Captain Chen said, flustered. Im just asking. As the police, we cannot let our judgment be clouded by our feelings. We need to consider every possibility with logic and rationale.


    I understand, Nian Xi said, but I am willing to guarantee with my life that youre beating a dead horse here. Its best just to wait for the forensic report.


    Alright.


    After hanging up, Jiang Yuning, who was feeding Jiang-Jiang, raised his head, Did the perpetrator suddenly pass away?


    Yes, Nian Xi replied as she massaged her temple. This case is a little strange. Im guessing that his sudden death might have something to do with that gun.


    Jiang Yuning looked confused.


    Its alright, you wouldnt understand even if I told you. Just eat up and go to my paternal grandmas ce first, then well go to my maternal grandmas ce at night.


    They finished up their breakfast before heading out.


    The two of them moved slowlyit was already eleven-thirty by the time they reached the Nian Family Mansion.


    Nian Junting and his family of three were already waiting.


    When Little Apple saw her in a wheelchair, her eyes filled with worry, Auntie, pain


    Yes, its very painful. Nian Xi stroked her tiny face, I heard that your uncle has been taking care of you. Has he been doing a good job?


    Uncle good, Little Apple smiled to reveal a row of pearly white teeth, like Uncle, dont like Daddy.


    Nian Xi burst intoughter while Nian Juntings face darkened. Didnt Mo Liuxi only take care of you for a week?


    The food that Uncle makes is good, Little Apple said, all smiles.


    Nian Xi asked Luosang with a smile, Sangsang, arent your parents still in Europe? Why dont you ask Liuxi toe over? Isnt it lonely and boring to spend the Lantern Festival alone?


    Luosang sighed heavily. I did, but he said that he wants to visit his girlfriends hometown to spend the Lantern Festival with her parents. I dont even know where that is probably either in Hubei or Hunan. I have to give it to himhes supposed toe back on the seventh, but school is starting in two days, so hes hurrying back tomorrow. What perplexes me even more, is that even his girlfriend is too busy to go home for the Lantern Festival, and he has the guts to say that he wants to fulfill the filial duties for his girlfriend.


    Nian Xi was shocked. Your brother has understood perfectly what it means to be a son for another family, but looking at how proud and arrogant he is, who wouldve known that hed be so obedient to his girlfriend.


    Thats right, its really unbelievable, Luosang shrugged. I want to see what kind of amazing, legendary creature his girlfriend is.


    However, to a woman, he is a really good man, Nian Xi couldnt help but praise him.


    Xixi, Im also a good man, Jiang Yuning who was listening to their conversation beside them spoke up unhappily. I didnt go home during the New Year Festival either, and I spent the Lantern Festival with you too. If you think that Im still not good enough, I can even marry into your family.


    No matter what, he had to be the best guy in Nian Xis heart. He didnt want her to think that hed be disposable in the future.


    Luosang burst intoughter. Nian Xi grew flustered and said with exasperation, Have you talked to your parents about marrying into my family?


    Theres no need to, its my lifeI make my own decisions, Jiang Yuning said nonchntly.

 Chapter 1492. All The More Reason Why I Cant Leave Him—I Will Continue To Protect Him

    Chapter 1492. All The More Reason Why I Can''t Leave Him��I Will Continue To Protect Him


    Nian Xi couldnt keep a straight face and broke into a smile. Alright, I dont care about stuff like marrying into my family. Whats so great about finding a guy who will marry into my family anyway? Thats so boring. Why dont I just marry you? Youll need to get a pnquin with eight carriers toe and get me.


    Sure. A shy smile graced Jiang Yunings fair face.


    At that moment, Granny Nian came out of the room. She smiled warmly. Oh, its Xiao Jiang. I heard that youre the one who has been taking care of our Xixi. Oh my, youve grown skinny and frail.


    Theres no such thing. And, its my duty to take care of Xixi, Jiang Yuning said.


    Nian Xi couldnt help butin, Granny, why did you send him a message the other day saying that I was in mortal danger? Youre going to scare him to death that way.


    Granny Nian said smilingly, You were in mortal danger that day. I didnt lie, and I also wanted to scare him.


    You scared him to death, Nian Xi muttered.


    Nian Xi,e with me to the study, Nian Qingyun said with a frown.


    In the study, Nian Xi closed the door and initiated the conversation, Dad, are you going to talk about the perpetrator dying in jail?


    Yes, Nian Qingyun nodded. I just received news that the cause of death is muscle paralysis caused by a poison that stopped his heart. This poison has never appeared in the country. However, there have been many deaths in Brazil that were caused by this poison. Thats why someone named this poison K1NO2.


    Nian Xi was surprised, How did a poison like this make its way to our country? Much less by an average criminal who abducts women.


    Indeed. This is a slow-release poison, which means that the criminal must have ingested the poison before he was caught. Maybe the person who gave him the gun didnt want therger criminalwork behind this to be revealed or maybe the other party wanted you dead. Nian Qingyun frowned deeply as he said that.


    Nian Xi was shocked. How can that be? As a policewoman, I have been apprehending criminals left and right, and I may have made some enemies along the way but why would I be a target of these so-called other parties who shouldnt be powerful enough to obtain dangerous and obscure poisons from overseas in the first ce?


    Nian Qingyun gave her a disconcerted look; he was sincerely concerned for his daughter. Theres something Ive been keeping from you and didnt want to tell you, as it concerns some top-secret information. You must not tell anyone.


    Nian Xi had not seen him this serious in a long time. She grew increasingly anxious.


    Do you know why I have always been against your rtionship with Jiang Yuning? It isnt because I dont like him, Nian Qingyun continued in a low voice, its because I discovered that he was part of some secret and dangerous research run by Italys SU Group. He came to Xia City after quitting three years ago.


    Nian Xi blinked. SU Group?


    Its a mysterious organization that only dabbles in rare and secretive research projects. The people working there are all rare talents, Nian Qingyun said. There are physicists, astronomers, biologists, and all kinds of geniuses from all over the world.


    Nian Xi suddenly recalled how Jiang Yuning needed to go to Rome, which happens to be in Italy, in April.


    Dad, the reason youre telling me this you dont think that someone is seriously targeting Jiang Yuning, and tried to harm me? After all, I am his girlfriend. Nian Xi said with a smile, Isnt that too far-fetched?


    Far-fetched? Nian Qingyun frowned. There are indeed research projects that may benefit the whole of mankind, but there are also those that can be used by criminals for their benefit. Think about itwhy did he need protection when he went to Paris?


    Dad, I dont think that those two are rted. Nian Xi continued after a moments thought, Even if Jiang Yuning had participated in some dangerous research in the past, some research projects are dangerous in the first ce. Even if the results of his research managed to attract the attention of some criminals, Im not afraid. Thats all the more reason why I cant leave himI will continue to protect him.

 Chapter 1493. I Cant Concentrate If You Do This

    Chapter 1493. I Can''t Concentrate If You Do This


    Nian Qingyuns heart was heavy, Nian Xi, Im proud of you for thinking this way. However, as your father, I cannot support this. You may think that I am selfish, but I only want you to be safe. Of course, I also hope that these two incidents are unrted.


    Nian Xis heart warmed. In the past, because of the whole debacle with Murong Cheng and Jiang Qifei, she always had issues with Nian Qingyun. However, it was undeniable that he had always doted on her.


    Dad, I had a close call with death just a few days ago, and before that, I almost died in a fire at theboratorymy job is dangerous by nature. I cant neglect the danger thates with my job and just focus on his. Its not like I never went to any of the dates that you guys set-up for me in the past. All of them said that its dangerous for a girl to be a cop and that they would rest easy if I had an office job. But Jiang Yuning has never said that. He has never disliked my job, and so I should respect him and treat him the same way.


    Besides, if someone really wanted to do something bad with his research, if I turn a blind eye and run away just for my own safety instead of helping him, what kind of policewoman does that make me?


    Nian Qingyun fell silent.


    Indeed, as a father, he was only able to see the other persons shorings.


    Alright, but just be more careful in the future, Nian Qingyun said meekly. Until the case is solved, I will ask your brother to arrange for some people to protect you.


    The conversation in the study ended peacefully and they continued with the days events after that.


    That night, on his way home from dinner at Murongs, Jiang Yunings phone kept buzzing while he was on the road.


    He didnt pick it up and left it on the console.


    Nian Xi nced at itDirector Cao shed on the screen.


    Why arent you picking it up? Nian Xi asked.


    I dont pick up calls while driving. Jiang Yuning shook his head stubbornly.  unless it has something to do with you.


    Nian Xi took his phone and epted the call before holding the phone up by his ear. Director Caos voice was immediately heard, Yuning, about the lecture in Korea, I hope you can reconsider. This is a rare chancemany renowned academics will be there, and among the younger generation, only you are up to the task


    Professor Wu can do it too. I will send him my research materialster, there wont be any problem. Jiang Yuning said stubbornly, Ive already said that I wont go. Im still driving. Im hanging up.


    Its alright even if you go for a few days, Nian Xi said softly. I can stay at my grandmothers for a few days, there is no need


    No.


    Jiang Yuning thought to himself, What if Feng Ji Chuan took advantage of his absence again?


    Drop it. I have made up my mind.


    Nian Xi didnt say anything else. She only reached out to hold his right hand in silence; their hands entwined.


    Jiang Yuning liked it that way. They seemed extremely close, but it was a special circumstance. Xixi, I am driving now. I cant concentrate if you do this.


    You cant concentrate with just this? Then what if I do this? Nian Xi smiled mischievously, then slid her hands up his thighs.


    Jiang Yuning tried to catch his breath as his entire face turned purple. He didnt dare to continue driving and quickly stopped the car along the roadside.


    But Nian Xi withdrew her hand.


    Xixi He was very disappointed.


    Nian Xi burst intoughter when she saw his disheveled face. When she had finishedughing, she nced at him and asked solemnly, Yuning, have you done any dangerous research?

 Chapter 1494. Are You Sure That I Can Change Boyfriends As Many Times As I Wish?

    Chapter 1494. Are You Sure That I Can Change Boyfriends As Many Times As I Wish?


    Dangerous ones? Jiang Yuning was briefly caught off guard before replying, There are many. Sometimes, an explosion may ur while conducting research. Other times, while developing new equipment, they may get out of control. There are just too many.


    Nian Xi lowered hershes in silence.


    Jiang Yuning grew anxious, Xixi, are you worried that my job is too dangerous? It isnt all that dangerousits fine as long as I am careful. Besides, when we get married, I will buy a really expensive life insurance policy. If something happens to me, youll receive arge sum from insuranceenough for you to enjoy the rest of your life and swap out boyfriends as many times as you wish


    His voice grew weaker as he spoke.


    Nian Xi smiled helplessly. Are you sure that I can change boyfriends as many times as I wish?


    Yes, Jiang Yuning said gloomily. I want you to be happy, even if Im not there. Even if I end up in agony, I dont mind bearing all the pain by myself.


    Nian Xi couldnt take it anymore and squeezed his cheeks hard, Idiot! If you want me to be happy, then dont leave meonly you can give me happiness. If you arent here anymore, the only thing left for me is pain and sorrow. Besides, have you ever disliked how dangerous my job is?


    I have never thought about it, Jiang Yuning shook his head. I cannot stop you from doing the things you like. Even if I am afraid of losing you, I cant possibly stop liking you just because your job is dangerous. Im looking for someone I love, not just someone suitable for marriage.


    Nian Xis heart pounded, How unusual for you to say something like that you almost dont seem like yourself.


    Its Uncle Han who said that, Jiang Yuning said a little abashedly. In the past my parents always tried to introduce partners to Uncle Han, but he wasnt willing to meet them. He said that he doesnt want to find someone suitable for marriage, but someone that he loves.


    Nian Xi was reminded of Uncle Hans face that was still handsome despite all his wrinkles, and lost her smile, So hes single till now?


    Im not sure, Im not interested in his affairs, said Jiang Yuning as he shook his head. But Xixi, why did you suddenly ask about my job? Youve been acting weird ever since you went to the study with your father.


    Nian Xi was surprised, How did you be so sharp now?


    Of course I will pay attention to everything about you since I like you. Jiang Yunings face looked troubled, Its alright if your father still doesnt like meI will work harder to improve his impression of me.


    He doesnt dislike you, dont overthink it. Nian Xi took his hand. Lets go home.


    Home


    Jiang Yuning happily restarted the car.


    And they made their way home.


    The Saturday after the Lantern Festival, Fang Qi and Cheng Jing went over together to visit her. They brought some dishes with them for dinner, as well as some fresh turbot and shrimp that they bought on their way.


    Jiang Yuning went on to steam the fresh seafood in the kitchen.


    Cheng Jing watched his back smilingly, Professor Jiang is a good man who takes care of his family, but are you sure that you dont need me to help?


    Just have a seat, you guys are our guests. Nian Xi continued with a proud smile on her face, I want you guys to have a taste of how good my boyfriends cooking is.


    Fang Qi raised her eyebrows a few times, When do you intend to marry Professor Jiang? We need to start preparing your wedding gifts.


    Around the end of this year. Nian Xi got straight to the point.


    Wow, so it has really been decided. Cheng Jing was happy for her.


    Yes, I think that its about time, Nian Xi nodded. She then suddenly raised her voice towards the kitchen, Im just waiting for him to propose to me.


    Since it was an open concept kitchen, as noisy as the venttor was, Jiang Yunings heard her voice; his whole body shook.

 Chapter 1495. Thank You For The Past Few Days. Will You Marry Me?

    Chapter 1495. Thank You For The Past Few Days. Will You Marry Me?


    Fang Qi almost burst out inughter and whispered, Isnt your hint a little too obvious?


    Nian Xi picked up a toothpick to get herself a slice of honeydew melon, I have no other choicemy boyfriend is too oblivious to social cues. If I dont give out obvious hints, I dont think he would dare to propose to me Not even after my hair has turned gray.


    Cheng Jing and Fang Qi nodded simultaneously. They agreed that she madeplete sense.


    Oh, thats rightis there any news about the death of that criminal, Zeng Hai? Nian Xi asked. What kind of poison is that K1NO2 exactly?


    Its difficult to say, Cheng Jing frowned. Only tetrodotoxin has been identified as one of thepounds. There are seven other toxicpounds in it, and they all seem to be extracted from unidentified microorganisms. However, Captain Chen has done a lot of research on this, and apparently, there have been simr cases in Brazilthe victims seem to be rted to this underground organization called TOX.


    Jiang Yuning was just walking over with a te of fish, and his hands trembled when he heard that name.


    Nian Xi propped up her chin with her right hand, I heard that Brazil is quite chaotic now. Many international criminals are there, from drug traffickers to arms smugglers. Could the people from that organization have sneaked into our country?


    Its difficult to say. Fang Qi sighed. The past few days, we have investigated everyone who was around Zeng Hai, or hase into contact with him, but we couldnt find anything. ording to his neighbor, he was too anti-social and had an odd personality, so nobody was willing to befriend him, or even take any notice of him. His family also only visited him once every few months. My guess is that his death has something to do with selling weapons.


    Looks like this case might just go cold, said Nian Xi as she frowned, crossing her arms.


    Not necessarily. It may be better to let Interpol take over the case. When Fang Qi looked up, she noticed Jiang Yuning in a daze a few feet away. She immediately stood up, Professor Jiang, is the fish done already?


    Yes. Jiang Yuning bent down to ce the turbot on the table. And so is the shrimp. Get ready to eat.


    They all enjoyed the seafood dinner.


    Fang Qi and Cheng Jing left after dinner at around eight-thirty.


    Jiang Yuning was focused on sweeping the floor.


    Nian Xi waited till he was done, then signaled over to him.


    Xixi, are you thirsty? Jiang Yuning walked over while wiping his fingers.


    Nian Xi sat up straight and hooked her arm over his neck to pull him down. Her eyes were filled with passion, Did you hear what I said earlier? So, when do you intend to propose to me?


    Jiang Yunings eyes grew wide in surprise. Watching the pretty face that was only inches away, he gulped anxiously. Xixi


    Wait, Nian Xi focused on him.


    I I dont know how said Jiang Yuning, trying to find an excuse.


    Nian Xi raised her brows and said boldly, I might know how.


    Jiang Yuning was speechless.


    His head was burning hot.


    After she had her bandages removed a few days before, the doctor said that she needed about another twenty days before she could walk again. Xixi, I


    Nian Xi didnt wait for him to finishshe started kissing him passionately. Jiang Yuning stumbled and was pushed down onto the sofa. He cradled her waist anxiously, Your leg has not yet recovered


    Thats right, my leg hasnt recovered. Nian Xi bent down, her raven ck hair draped down her shoulders. At that moment, a gentle but seductive look gleamed all over her beautiful face. Thank you for taking care of me for the past few days. Will you marry me?

 Chapter 1496. Who Made the Rule That Only Men Could Propose

    Chapter 1496. Who Made the Rule That Only Men Could Propose


    Jiang Yuning was so shocked that his pupils constricted. He almost thought that he was hearing things. Are you proposing to me?


    Nian Xi was stunned by what she had just said.


    She realized that she was getting bolder and bolder each day after getting together with Jiang Yuning.


    She was getting used to it as well, and she would no longer blush at such things. Her heart rate did not quicken at all either.


    Since she had said it already, she decided not to exin herself. Instead, she merely sat there, watching him quietly.


    Jiang Yuning stammered, You should leave this sort of thing to the man.


    He had been considering how he should propose to her when she was talking loudly with Fang Qi earlier. He did not want to be careless or insincere when it came to getting down on one knee.


    However, he did not expect her to ask first.


    I might have been a little impatient! Who made the rule that only men could propose anyway? Nian Xi was grinning, and she stroked his ears with her fingers as she sat on him. Im tempted by beauty right now, and you are a male version of a vixen.


    Jiang Yuning squirmed into the seat, his cheeks flushed red. Xixi, stop Its ticklish


    Cut the nonsense! What do you say? Yes or no? Nian Xi was straightforward in her reply. Ill give you one second to consider


    How was he supposed to think in one second?


    Jiang Yuning nced at her lips, and he nodded his head without hesitation. Im willing, Im extremely willing.


    Nian Xi burst intoughter. She thought that he was so adorable when he said that he would be extremely willing to ept her proposal.


    She kept giggling without saying another word, her eyes sparkling and gleaming.


    Jiang Yuning wrapped his arms around her waist, and they sat there as he hugged her quietly. Ill go get a ring tomorrow. Ill buy a pretty ring for you.


    Nian Xiughed harder as shey on his chest.


    Jiang Yuning was confused. Why are you alwaysughing? Whats so funny?


    Yeah, I dont know why. Im just so tickled! Nian Xi looked at his face. It was always so easy andfortable being around him.


    The girl in his arms fell asleep at 11 p.m. Jiang Yuning had been staring at her in the dark for a long time before he finally tiptoed and got up. He went to the balcony and called Uncle Han.


    Mister, why arent you asleep yet? Its sote. He could hear loud background music wherever Uncle Han was at.


    Uncle Han, where are you? Jiang Yuning asked.


    The bar! Uncle Han chuckled. I dont have to take care of you at night now. Im just out for a few drinks to rx.


    Uncle Han, its not right to go to a bar at such an old age, Jiang Yuning replied seriously.


    Get to the point, Mister, Uncle Han said softly. Whats the matter?


    Yeah, the TOX organization. I remember hearing about it, Jiang Yuning said softly.


    Uncle Han was shocked. You still remember that organization?


    Nian Xi brought it up today, Jiang Yuning said anxiously. I heard that the criminal who injured Nian Xi died from eating this poison, K1NO2. Isnt this toxin rted to this TOX organization?


    How did these things end up connected with each other? Uncle Hans voice was serious.


    I dont know either, Jiang Yuning followed, tugging at his hair. Did Nian Xi get hurt because of me? Are they spying on me


    Mister, Uncle Han interrupted him. Ill investigate this matter. Things may getplicated if this is truly connected to the TOX organization. Do you remember that explosion that happened when you went to Vietnam with your father when you were a child? It was rted to the TOX organization, and your father has mentioned it to you before. You became a lot more of a recluse after that incident, which is why Im surprised that you even recall the organization. After that incident, the police made a big arrest and ced a lot of their men behind bars, but I heard that their leader got away.

 Chapter 1498. His Girlfriend Is Overbearing and Gets Jealous Easily

    Chapter 1498. His Girlfriend Is Overbearing and Gets Jealous Easily


    Facing the sudden wave ofpliments, Jiang Yuning was stunned for a few seconds. His face instantly blushed.


    This might be rted to my genes. In the future, our children will certainly be good-looking as well.


    Nian Xi paused for several seconds, before realizing that he was taking advantage of her.


    She reached out to pinch his elbow. Who is going to have children with you? Youre so shameless!


    Jiang Yuning pouted. Dont forget that you proposed to mest night!


    Nian Xi immediately stopped talking. This guy had even started to talk back to her.


    It was Jiang Yuning who spoke first. Xixi, how about we go to a french conveyor belt restaurantter? he suggested.


    Nian Xi smiled. You even know to bring me to eat western food now! Professor Jiang, youve improved!


    Dont you like western food? Jiang Yuning replied with an innocent gaze.


    I dont want to go. I want to eat in the school canteen today, Nian Xi said. I havent eaten at your school for a long time, and I suddenly miss it.


    Along the way, she would inform all the students who had their sights on her man that this guy belonged to her.


    Especially in a school full of youthful vitality. Young flowers were everywhere, and they certainly attracted too many bees.


    When they reached the ssroom, it was already full of students. Thest time she visited, Nian Xi was not his girlfriend yet, so she did not pay much attention. However, as she took a closer look this time, she realized that two-thirds of the ss were female students.


    Jiang Yuning pushed her into the room. A small brown couch was specially ced in front of the lecture podium. Jiang Yuning carried her onto the couch, and she could hear the sound of the students collectively suck in their breaths.


    Jiang Yuning bent down to speak to Nian Xi as if he had not heard them. Xixi, I hope you wont fall asleep during my lectureter.


    Of course not! I had a good restst night. Nian Xi perked herself up. Indeed, she would wound his ego if she fell asleep in his ss.


    Jiang Yuning hesitated for a moment, then said, Listen properly to my ss. Youll learn a lot.


    Nian Xi fellpletely silent.


    After Jiang Yuning got onto the podium, a male teaching assistant behind her tapped on her shoulder. Pretty policewoman, have you finally gotten together with Professor Jiang?


    Nian Xi turned around to look at him. That teaching assistant was also present thest time she was here.


    The teaching assistant nced at her leg. It looks like you and Professor Jiang have been through a lot, he said with mixed emotions.


    Nian Xi still did not utter a single word.


    What had they gone through, why didnt she know?


    Ten minutes into the lecture, Nian Xi could not take it much longer. She desperately wanted to use her phone.


    20 minutester, she was about to fall asleep. This was the driest and most boring lecture she had ever heard.


    She observed the students behind her. The guys were listening attentively, while the girls were fixated on their phones. Some of them were even taking photos.


    Afterward, she turned back and just went to sleep.


    When she woke up, she found that the ssroom had be very lively. Jiang Yuning frowned as he stood in front of her, looking a little upset. You slept again.


    Indeed, I slept again! Do you have any problem with that? Nian Xi raised her brow brazenly.


    Jiang Yuning: No I dont have any problem with it.


    Nian Xis lips curled into a smile. Your students are waiting to ask you questions. Hurry up and attend to them!


    When she finished, she turned around to tell those students, If you genuinely have any questions about physics or astronomy, Ill wee you. However, for those who want to get closer to him under the pretense of asking him questions, I advise you to just give up and behave yourselves. Firstly, dont affect those who sincerely want to learn, and secondly, he already has a girlfriend. His girlfriend easily gets jealous and is overbearing, and she cant take it anymore!

 Chapter 1497. Professor Jiangs Girlfriend Is A Cripple

    Chapter 1497. Professor Jiang''s Girlfriend Is A Cripple


    Jiang Yuning frowned. In that case, did they rise from the dead?


    Im not sure, Uncle Han replied helplessly. But for criminal organizations like theirs, they will never disappear if you dont eradicate them. Your father has said before that their group of biologists gathered in Vietnam for their n to revive the Cuvieronius. They will obtain boundless wealth the moment they manage to revive this historic animal.


    Jiang Yuning took a deep breath before asking, Did they target Nian Xi as a warning for me or was it just a coincidence?


    Stop overthinking! Uncle Han chided. Ill contact the Interpol and ask them about it. It might have just been due to the guns.


    Alright. Jiang Yuning was vexed. Anyways, Nian Xi proposed to me today, and I want to have a good life with her


    Isnt that quite? Uncle Han suddenly stopped halfway through his words. She proposed to you? It wasnt you who proposed to her?


    Yes, she proposed first.


    Uncle Han fell intoplete silence.


    He then coughed lightly after a long while and replied, Miss Nian is indeed unlike other ordinary women. She is exceptionally brave. She truly is the perfect match for you.


    I think so too. Jiang Yunings lips curled into a smile, which then faded three secondster. Shes so special, and I dont want her to get hurt because of me.


    She wont. Besides, Miss Nian isnt an ordinary person, Uncle Hanforted him. His young master finally found a woman he liked. If anything happened in the future, his heart would never be able to take it.


    The next afternoon, Jiang Yuning had a lecture at Xia University. He had originally wanted to cancel it, but Nian Xi said that there was no need and that she would go with him. After all, it would be boring to stay at home all day. asionally, they should also go out to breathe in some fresh air.


    Jiang Yuning naturally agreed. He would always assume that since she was a police officer, Nian Xicked intellectual knowledge, and thus she should study a bit more. Of course, he would never tell Nian Xi about his thoughts to prevent her from getting upset.


    They still had some time left after reaching the university. After parking the car, Jiang Yuning convinced Nian Xi to take a stroll around the campus.


    Many students in the school recognized Jiang Yuning but were unfamiliar with Nian Xi. After all, aside from that period when she was investigating that case, she rarely visited the school. She usually met Jiang Yuning outside for their dates as well.


    However, Nian Xi quickly noticed that along the way, the young girls who walked past them would frequently turn back and glimpse at Jiang Yuning.


    Whos that? Is he your schools most handsome student? Hes so good-looking! One of the girls could not help but squeal.


    Dont spout nonsense! Hes a lecturer from the Physics department. My goodness, why did Professor Jiang find a cripple for a girlfriend over the New Year Festival? If I had known that his standards were so low, I would have chased after him myself.


    Stop dreaming! Even though his girlfriend is handicapped, she has well-defined features. Shes very pretty.


    Come on, with stic surgery, who isnt pretty these days? Speaking of which, Im sure Professor Jiang came to school today to give a lecture. Im going to have to leave now. I need to go reserve a seat!


    What? A maritime student like you going to listen to a Physics lecture? Are you kidding me? Can you even understand it?


    I can just use my phone if I dont understand it.


    The young girl fell silent, baffled by herpanions words.


    However, Nian Xi had sharp ears. She had originally gotten angry when she heard them, but she calmed down afterward and nced at that neatly-dressed, graceful man behind her. She then thought to herself and realized that they were just speaking out of jealousy.


    Xixi, whats wrong? Jiang Yuning noticed her looking back at him and immediately bent down to ask.


    Im thinking about how handsome you are! Nian Xi giggled. Jiang Yuning, why are you so good-looking?

 Chapter 1499. The Teachers Wife is So Mighty, So Cool

    Chapter 1499. The Teacher''s Wife is So Mighty, So Cool


    Her words were so full of conviction that all the students were stunned by her charisma.


    Jiang Yuning was also gaping at her in shock.


    The girls who were timider immediately left in embarrassment. However, several louder girls were still unconvinced. This is a school campus, and you guys arent the ones who opened this school either, one of them rebutted. Even if youre Professor Jiangs girlfriend, you cante here just to throw a tantrum out of jealousy and affect other peoples studies!


    Nian Xis sharp eyes immediately swept over that female student.


    Can you let me take a look at your notebook?


    Under her gaze, that girl felt strangely uneasy. She bit her lip and stuttered, W-why do I have to show you?


    Nian Xi stared at her for a few seconds, before abruptly smiling. Because your notebook certainly doesnt have many notes in it. Those who are genuinely studying will have a notebook full of notes like this student!


    She paused for a while before picking up the notebook belonging to the male student beside her and holding it up for everyone to see. I may not understand Physics, but Professor Jiang ispletely humorless in ss and only knows how to talk about facts. Hence, you should take down notes throughout his lectures. Look at how meticulous his notes are!


    She returned the notebook to that male student before turning to that female student again. I think Ive said this beforedont disturb those who genuinely want to learn. The reason why I said this is because I saw many people leaning against the window just to listen to Professor Jiangs lecture. Some were also leaning against the wall at the back to listen. However, several people took up the seats in the ssroom, yet they werent listening attentively. Furthermore, Professor Jiang only has half an hour to answer your questions after ss, but there are those amongst you who arent even from the Physics department, but you still came to ask questions. All that you guys want is to look at him up close. You guys are shamelessly wasting everyones precious time and space. You guys dont have any consideration for those students who genuinely have questions to ask. Professor Jiang doesnt evene every day; he only has one lecture per week!


    When she finished speaking, the whole ss became quiet for a while. A student who was squeezed to the far end then shouted, Thats right! Even though I alwayse half an hour early, Ive never been able to get a seat. Thats because all the girls from other departments who want to see Professor Jiang are taking up space. Additionally, all of you even run over to ask questions after ss. With the kind of rubbish that you guys are asking, only someone as innocent as Professor Jiang wouldnt be suspicious!


    Exactly! Professor Jiang only gives four lectures a month. Ive attended ten lectures, and I still havent been able to squeeze to the front to ask him questions.


    The girls did not know what to say.


    Voices of assent rose, and many students who had squeezed to the front left guiltily.


    That female student also hurriedly rushed out of the ssroom, embarrassed.


    To her surprise, Nian Xi noticed that there were also quite a few male students amongst them.


    The world was truly getting crazier. Even men would be infatuated over other men.


    Seeing the number of students dwindling, a male student yelled to Nian Xi, The teachers wife is amazing!


    The teachers wife is amazing! other people chimed in.


    Jiang Yuning waspletely stupefied by this scene.


    Alright, please stop saying that, everyone. Just hurry up and ask your questions. Nian Xi waved her hand at them.


    Thank you, madam!


    Jiang Yuning took a long time to react, and he slowly coached the students.


    It was almost noon when the students sent Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi off. When they were about to leave, the students even said warmly, We wee the professors wife to visit again!


    The professors wife is so cool!


    As everyone left, the ssroom grew silent.


    After a long while, Jiang Yuning stammered, Xixi, you


    Me? Nian Xi nced at him. What about me?

 Chapter 1500. Xixi, Youre So Noble

    Chapter 1500. Xixi, You''re So Noble


    Im Impressive! Jiang Yuning muttered, giving a thumbs up.


    He still could not make sense of what had just taken ce. He also could not wrap his mind around how she had managed to chase away so many of his students. Everyone now viewed her as his wife.


    Jiang Yuning felt oddly shy.


    So you think Im not making any sense? Nian Xi crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking justified and self-righteous. I may seem like Im jealous, but Im actually correcting the inappropriate conduct in your ss. Dont you normally notice this at all?


    Jiang Yuning scratched his head with a baffled expression on his face.


    Nian Xi found him to be rather slow-witted, and she gave him a look before continuing, Many of your students didnt care about the answer to their questions at all. They merely wanted to get close to you and listen to you speaking because youre so good-looking.


    I see The realization finally hit Jiang Yuning. I didnt know.


    Thats because youre too innocent, and you wouldnt think too much about it! Nian Xi sighed. Let me ask you. What do you think of the questions asked by the students who came to consult you after your lecture today?


    The questions seemed more meaningful, and some of them were extremely specific. Jiang Yuning suddenly became happier. I like answering them.


    Exactly! After all, youre a Physics professor and not a celebrity. If you cant impart your knowledge to those who truly need it, then your lessons are wasted! Nian Xi said with a sigh. Because of that, Im willing to y the viin for the sake of those students. I merely hope to groom more scientists, and I dont care how others will think of me.


    Xixi, youre so noble. Jiang Yuning was full of admiration for her.


    Dont mention it, Nian Xi said as she waved her hands. This is my responsibility as a cop.


    Xixi, youre seriously the greatest cop Ive ever seen. Jiang Yuning adored her dearly right now, and he felt lucky to be liked by her. Xixi, I genuinely thought that you were jealous, and I even felt a little gleeful because of that.


    He felt very proud that his woman had be so fierce for his sake.


    Why would I be jealous? Im proud of you, Nian Xi replied as she abruptly turned to look at him with an unusually serious expression.


    Her gaze made Jiang Yunings heart soften, and he felt as if he was bursting with joy.


    Jiang Yuning ordered quite a few side dishes when they ate in the canteen, and he kept piling food onto Nian Xis te. Xixi, you should eat more. The chicken feet are good!


    My hands are tired. Feed me, Nian Xi saidzily.


    Sure. Jiang Yuning began to feed her obediently.


    Some of the students seated around them began to whisper to one another.


    Wow, who is she? Professor Jiangs so nice to her.


    Hey, keep your volume down! I heard that this woman flew into a rage in Professor Jiangs lecture just now. Shes the jealous type, and she looks so fierce!


    Are you serious? How fierce can she be when shes crippled? Professor Jiangs taste in women is so strange. Did his mind get all muddled up by the research that hes fiddling with every day?


    The couple stayed silent for a while.


    Nian Xi then looked at Jiang Yuning with a calm expression. See? Sometimes, its tough being the good guy.


    Jiang Yuning frowned. All of a sudden, he stood up and turned to face the girls who were gossiping away. He then said, Let me warn all of you. You better be polite to my fiance. Shes not crippled. Her leg is only temporarily injured, but Ill still like her even if she walks with a limp forever. Besides, what has this got to do with you guys? How can you badmouth your professor and his fiance so casually?

 Chapter 1501. Perfection

    Chapter 1501. Perfection


    Many students in the canteen had obviously been observing Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi. Everyone quietened down when he suddenly stood up to challenge them. At the same time, the palpable tension caused everyone to feel short of breath.


    The girls who were gossiping were also frightened. Professor Jiang was always known to be a mild-tempered person, and they were shocked by his sudden harshness.


    Professor Professor Jiang, were sorry, one of the girls apologized, before quickly grabbing her friends and leaving.


    Nian Xi raised her eyebrows, as it was rare to see Jiang Yuning re up. The chances of the sun rising from the west might even be higher than him getting angry.


    She propped her chin on her hands and gazed at him as he sat down once again. When their eyes met, she could tell that he was still indignant. Xixi, dont feel upset anymore. These students should just focus on their studies. They truly have nothing better to do, dont they? I think what you did this morning was right. I wouldnt have noticed this if it wasnt for you.


    Dont mention it, Nian Xi said as she patted the back of his hand. I dont care about them since Im much older than them, but when I was an undergraduate, I waspletely focused on studying. I wouldnt bother about any gossip or rumors that spread.


    Xixi, youre very impressive! Jiang Yuning praised her incessantly. How could someone be so great?


    I know, right? I dont know how I was so remarkable either. Nian Xi heaved out a faint sigh. Perhaps it was because of my familys upbringing.


    Yup! Jiang Yuning nodded furiously in agreement.


    Nian Xi was too perfect, and Jiang Yuning felt extremely lucky to have met her. He desperately wanted to hold on to this piece of luck for the rest of his life.


    After their meal, Jiang Yuning drove his car onto the streets to shop for a diamond ring with Nian Xi.


    He had made this decision after proposing to Nian Xist night. He wanted to get her a diamond ring that she liked.


    All the shops in the first story sold expensive jewelry.


    After Jiang Yuning pushed Nian Xi into one of the shops, she immediately felt the shop assistants shooting looks of both envy and pity at her. Perhaps everyone felt that it was a pity for a handsome man like Jiang Yuning to have a wife with ame leg.


    However, Nian Xi was not bothered by this.


    Xixi, what kind of ring do you like? Jiang Yuning would asionally examine the diamond rings. However, as every single ring shone brilliantly and looked magnificent, he felt that all of them would suit Nian Xi.


    I dont know. Lets just look around. Nian Xis head was throbbing. She did not usually wear such things, so she was not very interested in them. When she was dating Feng Ji Chuan previously, however, she would intentionally buy several essories to doll herself up with. s, she would toss them aside after wearing them just a few times.


    We cant just look around. We have to buy a ring, Jiang Yuning said firmly.


    When the shop assistant heard their exchange, she immediately brought out a ring with a heart-shaped diamond and said, This is thetest design in our shop! Its extravagant, intricate, and fashionable, and it wont look too gaudy. Why dont you give it a try?


    Jiang Yuning found the ring beautiful when he first looked at it. However, after taking it from the shop assistant and observing it, he realized that it merely cost over $10,000. He then ced it down and shook his head as hemented, This is too cheap.


    The shop assistant was stunned. Whats the price range that youre looking at? she asked.


    Jiang Yuning cluelessly replied, I dont know. I suppose the more expensive it is, the better itll be.


    Why do you want such an expensive ring? Its fine as long as I think it suits me. It doesnt matter even if its cheap, Nian Xi said as she picked up the ring that the shop assistant had rmended. However, she did not like it that much after she tried it on. She then continued, Its not shining as brilliantly as Id like it to be. Could you give me a shinier one?


    The shop assistant felt rather awkward, since rings that shone more brilliantly tended to have more diamonds and would be more expensive.


    Take a look at this then. This ring is embossed with diamonds all over it and is exceptionally brilliant, the shop assistant said quickly. Its called Perfection.''


    That sounds good. Jiang Yuning nodded his head in satisfaction. He liked the name, for he wanted to have a perfect life with Nian Xi.

 Chapter 1502. Give Us Your Blessings

    Chapter 1502. Give Us Your Blessings


    Nian Xi tried it on and found its brilliance eptable.


    The shop assistant replied uneasily, This design is slightly expensive. It costs 8,000.


    Xixi, do you like it? Lets get this if you like it! Jiang Yuning suggested.


    Yes, but dont you find it a little too expensive? Nian Xi still wanted to hear his opinion. After all, he worked as a researcher, but her family owned a business. Hence, their spending behaviors might differ.


    No. My budget is around 80,000, Jiang Yuning replied honestly. Uncle Han said that I cant get a ring thats too cheap since youre as priceless as a princess.


    Nian Xi was almost moved to tears.


    Uncle Han was a great man. As a middle-aged man, he was very outstanding indeed. He was fashionable, generous, and he had his ways with people. If it was not for the fact that Sister Lan was a little too plump, she would have rmended him to her.


    The shop assistant merely felt like crying. Had she known that Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi were looking for an expensive ring, she would have shown them their shops prized item. Actually We have another ring thats even more brilliant, the shop assistant said.


    Its alright, well take this. Its name sounds pretty good, Nian Xi said. Could you rmend a mens ring?


    Subsequently, Nian Xi chose a cool, brilliant mens diamond ring for Jiang Yuning. His hand was fair and slender, and it looked nice with everything.


    They bought some juice after making their purchase, and Nian Xi took a photo of herself holding his hand. She then sent it to the group chat with her friends, along with the words, Give us your blessings.


    Within less than ten minutes, her group chat was flooded with more than a hundred messages and a few hundred likes.


    Nian Junting wrote, Please dont tell me that youve already agreed to Jiang Yunings proposal?


    Xiao Si wrote, What the f*ck. What the f*ck. Are you going to beat me to this as well?


    Luo Sang wrote, Best wishes to you. Congrats! I will be there at your wedding banquet.


    Yan Su wrote, Wishing you both a happy life.


    Nian Qingyun wrote, Nian Xi, why didnt you inform your dad before you agree to the proposal?


    Jiang Yuning did not look at his phone as he did not like to do so, and he would rather look at Nian Xi instead.


    When he saw his girlfriend snickering discreetly as she looked at her phone, he reminded her, Xixi, drink some juice.


    Nian Xi looked up at him, and when she saw how innocent and harmless he looked, she snatched the drink from his hands and took a sip, before saying, Go look at the group chat with my friends!


    Puzzled, Jiang Yuning tapped into the group chat, and when he saw what she had written, he felt a strong, sweet, and tender feeling in his heart. As a toughdy, she rarely disyed her affection for her boyfriend in the group chat with her friends. While he was obviously happy, he soon felt depressed and disappointed again.


    He did not know what to do if TOX were to harm Nian Xi because of him.


    He did not care about where these people were hiding or if he would be harmed, but he could not put Nian Xis life in danger.


    Whats wrong? Youre neither agitated, happy, excited nor honored, Nian Xi asked all at once. She was displeased with the frown on his face.


    Nothing. Im just happy, Jiang Yuning replied sincerely. But Im also slightly afraid


    What are you afraid of? Nian Xi blinked several times. Are you scared that Ill beat you after we get married?


    No, Im afraid that I cant give you happiness, Jiang Yuning said. He was slightly vexed.


    Nian Xi frowned and abruptly mmed the ss of juice down on the table. Jiang Yuning, why did you court me back then if youre afraid that you cant give me happiness? she replied in frustration. Why did you like me then? Now that Im yours, youre telling me that youre afraid that you cant give me happiness? Are you having second thoughts about this?


    No! Jiang Yuning jumped in fright. Xixi, dont get so worked up about this!


    How can I not be? Nian Xi replied glumly. I dont like men who are irresponsible.


    Jiang Yunings heart ached, as though he had been stung by a bee. Im not an irresponsible person.

 Chapter 1503. Jiang Yunings Past

    Chapter 1503. Jiang Yuning''s Past


    Remember my words, Nian Xi moved closer to his ear and said in a low voice. Ill never forgive you if you hurt me.


    Jiang Yunings eyes twitched violently.


    On their way back, Nian Xi received a call from Nian Junting, whoined, Why didnt you call to seek my approval when he proposed to you? Besides, why is that diamond ring so small? It cant even hold a candle to the one that I gave to your sister-inw.


    Well, then did you ever call to seek my permission when you proposed to Sangsang? Nian Xi rolled her eyes, at a loss for words. Do you think that everyone is rich like you and can afford to give a ring with a diamond thats as big as a goose egg? Do you ever see Sangsang wear a ring with such a big diamond when she heads out on normal days? Everyones scared of getting robbed.


    I just want to give Sangsang the best. I dont care if she wears it or not, Nian Junting snorted coldly. As for you, youre a descendant of the Nian Family. How could you be won over by a ring with such a tiny diamond?


    Excuse me, but I wasnt the one who proposed! Nian Xi immediately cut him off.


    Nian Xi Nian Junting found it hard to believe. You must be crazy! Youre a girl!


    No, Im not just an average girl. You wouldnt understand what its like to be a maverick, Nian Xi repliedzily. Besides, Im pretty and rich, so I can afford to be wilful.


    Nian Junting was speechless. He rubbed the area between his brows, before saying, Alright then. Lets talk about the incident with Zeng Hai. Dad warned you to wait for the truth toe to light, and yet youre not afraid to put your life on the line at all.


    Nian Xi took one nce at Jiang Yuning, who was navigating the car seriously beside her. She then replied calmly, I think Dad must have told you as well that I dont wish to talk about this anymore.


    After Nian Xi hung up on Nian Junting, he stared at his cellphone with a worried expression.


    Nian Xi always made others worry for her.


    CEO Nian, Lu Kang called out right at that moment, entering the room after knocking on the door.


    Youre just in time, Nian Junting said. He immediately stood up and asked in a deep voice, Didnt I ask you to send someone to protect Nian Xi covertly? Did any suspicious person appear around her?


    We did not find out much for now. Lu Kang answered as he brought out a deck of documents. Didnt you ask me to look into Mr. Jiangs and his familys history recently? I discovered some of Mr. Jiang and his parents research findings. The family of three are all extremely remarkable scientists in their respective fields. His father went to study abroad in the 80s and was among the first batch of biologists who returned to the country.


    I dont want to look at their research findings. Nian Junting casually browsed through the documents. Im not very interested in these. I just want to know why Jiang Yuning is so withdrawn, what sort of secretive and dangerous research hes involved in, and why he appeared in Xia City so abruptly three years ago. He even has a team of specialized personnel to protect him.


    Well, this information is ssified, and I cant find anything about it.


    Lu Kangughed bitterly before he resumed and said, However, I did find out that a group of biologists discovered aplete fossilized carcass of a Cuvieronius elephant (1) in South America when Jiang Yuning was 12. That fossil was subsequently transported to ab in Vietnam, while Jiang Fei and several top-notch international biologists also traveled there. It was said that they were going to extract the elephants cells to recreate it, but there was an explosion at the heart of theboratory right when they were about to seed.


    Five people died back then. Unfortunately, Jiang Fei had brought his son along, and Jiang Yuning had been ying alone when the ident urred. He was buried under the debris after the explosion, and he was only rescued after ten days and ten nights because there were simply too many casualties. Jiang Fei was also in aa, and the local environmental conditions were dreadful.


    (1) A Cuvieronius is from an extinct species of elephant with spiral-shaped tusks.

 Chapter 1504. He Wondered If His Past Actions Towards Jiang Yuning Had Gone Overboard

    Chapter 1504. He Wondered If His Past Actions Towards Jiang Yuning Had Gone Overboard


    Nian Junting gasped in shock.


    How did he survive for ten days and ten nights?


    In the past, when Nian Junting was a soldier, he had participated in rescue missions during earthquakes and had witnessed numerous tragic scenarios. Many people had died from starvation or dehydration, simply because they were not rescued on time or because the rescue work could not be executed properly. It was already a miracle to be alive for a week.


    It was said that he drank his pee, blood, and also the dirty water that flowed down when it rained. Lu Kangs supple lips felt dry when he said that. He had seen Jiang Yuning before, and he could hardly imagine that a delicate and well-groomed man like him had experienced such a terrible thing.


    By the time the rescue team found him, he had already been staying in a pitch-ck area for ten days and was not exposed to any light at all. He was huddled below the concrete iron, and he was as thin as a bag of bones. They rushed him to the hospital and managed to save his life, but he has be autistic since then. He wouldnt speak or interact with anyone, Lu Kang recounted softly. His world only revolved around learning physics and astronomy. Its not that hard to imagine. A normal person would likely have chosen to die if he were to live under such terrible circumstances for ten days.


    Nian Junting rubbed the area between his brows and considered viewing Jiang Yuning in a new light.


    It was probably also difficult for someone like him, who had good mental caliber and physical fitness, to be put through such an ordeal. Even if he did make it through, he would likely have gone mad.


    As this thought shed across his mind, Nian Junting wondered if his past actions towards Jiang Yuning had gone overboard.


    He was generally uncaring towards others, but he admired people who could put up with hardships.


    Oh, right! Why did theb explode? Nian Junting suddenly asked.


    An international organization called TOX was said to be responsible for it. This organization was involved in many high-tech crimes, Lu Kang exined. Back then, an insider said that it was likely because they wanted to obtain the information on how to resurrect the Cuvieronius elephant so that they could repeatedly breed the species and sell its bones at a high price. Imagine the amount of money that this prehistoric animal could bring.


    So it was them! Nian Junting said as he mmed his hands on the table. Ive heard of this organization when I was on a mission back then in the army. Theymitted many atrocities and were subsequently destroyed. Ive heard the people in the police department mention that they had a hand behind Nian Xis injury this time. It seems like theyve resurfaced again.


    If this is true, then I suppose Miss Nians injury has something to do with Mr. Jiang. Lu Kangs tone carried a hint of worry. Should we inform her about this?


    Whats the point in telling her? Nian Junting replied coldly. Will she leave Jiang Yuning just because she knows that its dangerous to be with him? At this point, she may stick to him even more closely to protect him, even though shes already walking with a limp. TOX certainly wants to get something out of Jiang Yuning, but they know that he wont give it to them. As a result, theyre now targeting the people around him as a form of warning.


    What should we do then? Are they going to make a move on Miss Nian again? Lu Kang became anxious. These people are toowless. Shes a cop, and she has the Nian Familys support.


    They must have hidden well if they dared to do this. Besides, nobody has picked up on anything before this. We even thought that this was a normal case of kidnapping.


    Nian Junting shook his head. This matter is beyond us. We can only leave it to Interpol. We know nothing of the number of people in Xia City who are part of this organization, as well as their identities and social standing. I believe that the person called Han, who hangs around Jiang Yuning, is also not a fool. He should be prepared. We only need to protect Nian Xi from danger, and the lesser she knows, the better. Isnt it good for her to be carefree like how she is now?

 Chapter 1505. Horror

    Chapter 1505. Horror


    Lu Kang sighed and said, It hasnt been easy for Miss Nian. In the past, she liked Mr. Feng, but he was always not by her side. Now that she has fallen for someone else, shes being targeted by criminals. Im worried that shell get hurt.


    I hope Jiang Yuning can settle this quickly. There was a dark expression on Nian Juntings face. If I were Jiang Yuning, I would choose to leave my loved ones for the sake of their safety if things continue to worsen.


    I think I would as well, Lu Kang agreed. But if he leaves, it will probably be a significant blow for Miss Nian. Consequently, she may even stop believing in love.


    Thats why Since things have already reached this stage, lets try not to separate the couple while fulfilling the condition of ensuring Nian Xis safety. Its easy to evade an open attack, but its hard to guard against a secret ambush Nian Junting stood up and looked out of the french window with a worried expression in his eyes.


    Jiang Yuning apanied Nian Xi for a follow-up appointment at the hospital in the middle of March.


    The doctor informed them that she hadrgely recovered after removing the stitches from her wound. She would be able to return to the police station to work in an admin position after recuperating for a few more days.


    Nian Xi was happy when she heard this, as she was almost bored to death from staying at home every day for the past several days.


    After they left the doctors office, Nian Xi suggested, I heard that the cherry blossoms in the Botanical Garden have bloomed. Lets go there and take a look since we have nothing better to do anyway!


    Sure. Jiang Yuning nodded his head in agreement after pondering for a moment.


    The Botanical Garden was crowded, and the couple only made their way home when it was 4:00 p.m. On their way back, Nian Xi said, The cherry blossoms in the garden arent the real deal at all. The genuinely beautiful ones are in Japan. If it wasnt because of the inconvenience caused by my limp, I wouldve taken some time off for us to travel to Japan together.


    I havent seen the cherry blossoms in Japan before, Jiang Yuning said as he shook his head. But since you said that theyre pretty, then Im sure they must be.


    Ill bring you there next year! Nian Xi chuckled as she said. Its just unfortunate that we cant make it in time for this year.


    Okay, Jiang Yuning replied while nodding his head seriously. He wanted to see the cherry blossoms with Nian Xi and do many of the things that she enjoyed doing.


    Before reaching home, the couple made a trip to the supermarket again to buy some fruits. By the time they finally reached, it was almost 5:00 p.m. Jiang Yuning parked their car and pushed Nian Xi over to the elevator.


    The elevator reached the 11th story when it jerked violently out of nowhere. Jiang Yuning subconsciously carried Nian Xi over and leaned against the corner of the wall. Immediately after, the lift suddenly plunged downwards as though it had lost control.


    Although Nian Xi was normally bold and fearless, at that very moment, she still clung onto Jiang Yuning tightly and shrieked in terror.


    Jiang Yunings mind went nk as well, and he felt a sense of weightlessness. Just when he thought that he was going to die in the lift, the lift jerked once again and stopped. The number two shed in the elevator, and the elevator door opened after that.


    When Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi saw the ground outside of the elevator, they felt extremely lucky to have survived the disaster.


    The lift had plunged from the 11th story to the second story. Had it plunged further down, they would have been smashed to pieces.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly pushed Nian Xi out of the elevator, before bending down to hug her tightly. Both of them were trembling as Jiang Yuning asked, Xixi, you Are you alright?


    Nian Xi was panting heavily, and her face was ghastly pale as she replied, This Whats wrong with the elevator in this neighborhood? Its going to kill someone! Give the property management team a call as soon as possible! Ive been paying high property management fees every month, but do they actually conduct maintenance for the elevators? Were lucky we didnt plunge to our deaths.


    Jiang Yuning shook violently as he hugged her, and he neither spoke nor moved.


    Was this a coincidence, or was someone trying to hurt them?


    Are you scared? Nian Xi noticed his reticence, and she forced herself to calm down before she said jokingly, Just cry if you want to. Dont hold your tears back.

 Chapter 1506. Mr. Nian Junting Has Assigned Us to Protect You

    Chapter 1506. Mr. Nian Junting Has Assigned Us to Protect You


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head, and his clear eyes were incandescent with both anger and trepidation. Xixi, now isnt the time for jokes! Do you realize that we almost died just now?


    Nian Xi had intended to console him. However, when she heard how harsh he sounded, she became angry as well, probably because he had never treated her like this before. I suppose Ive implicated you this time. If you didnte to my house to take care of me, you wouldnt have experienced this.


    Thats not what I meant Jiang Yuning pouted as he moved his thin lips. He did not know what to do, and he could only extend his arms to hug her tightly again. I just dont want you to get injured he said in a quivering voice.


    Stunned for a moment, Nian Xi buried her face in his chest and muttered, You fool! Both of us would have died in the situation earlier on. Why would you even care if Im injured?


    Miss Nian, are you alright? At that very moment, three tall and burly men rushed up the stairs and dashed over anxiously. The trio still seemed badly shaken.


    Are you all Nian Xi was slightly baffled. She tried to recall who they were, but she had never seen these three men before. From the property management team?


    No. Mr. Nian Junting has assigned us to protect you. One of the muscr men stepped forward and said, Im Meng Zhan. We were in the car park just now, and we were scared silly when the elevator lights suddenly went off. Thank goodness youre alright!


    Protect me? Nian Xi let go of Jiang Yuning, her face riddled with astonishment. When did all of you begin protecting me?


    Weve been watching over you ever since you were discharged from the hospital, Meng Zhan answered. Mr. Nian is quite worried about you, but hes afraid that youll object to our protection. Hence, he told us to watch over you covertly.


    I had no idea at all Nian Xi mumbled. This was an utter humiliation for a cop.


    However, Nian Xi knew that Nian Junting was probably worried that someone would harm her because of Jiang Yunings matters ever since she spoke to Nian Qingyun during the Lantern Festival. That was probably why he had sent people to protect her.


    Nian Xi was quite touched. Her brother usually seemed vile, but he was quite protective of her during critical moments.


    Miss Nian, both of you should head upstairs first. Meng Fan frowned as he stared at the elevator. Well get the staff from the property management team toe here and take a look. Qi Xiang, escort Miss Nian upstairs. Lets not use the elevator for the time being.


    Alright, thanks for your trouble, Nian Xi replied. She no longer dared to use the elevator.


    Jiang Yuning carried her upstairs, while Qi Xiang helped carry her wheelchair.


    When they reached their apartment, Jiang Yuning carried Jiang-jiang and sat down on the sofa. He remained silent, and his delicate, handsome face still looked pale.


    Meanwhile, the innocent and naive Jiang-jiang nuzzled up against his chest.


    Nian Xi drank a huge ss of water and pondered over whether this incident was a coincidence, or if someone had genuinely wanted to hurt her.


    After 15 minutes, the manager of the property management team appeared with an apologetic expression on his face. He knew who Nian Xi was. When Nian Junting bought this apartment back then, Nian Junting had specifically highlighted that Miss Nian was living here alone and had asked the security to take special care of her.


    The manager of the property management team was utterly shocked after the incident happened this afternoon. He felt as though his heart was going to a stop, and he felt greatly relieved that the lift did not crash. Otherwise, he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison.


    Miss Nian, Im very sorry. You must have been shaken, the manager apologized as he bowed deeply in front of her. We conduct maintenance on the elevators every week, and I have no idea why such a terrifying incident could happen. Ive already asked the elevator repairman to look into this.

 Chapter 1507. Brother, Youre Really MuChapter More Magnanimous and Reasonable Now

    Chapter 1507. Brother, You''re Really MuChapter More Magnanimous and Reasonable Now


    I hope you can give me an exnation for this, Nian Xi said. While this was not the first time she had a brush with death, the horrifying feeling of weightlessness that she experienced when the lift plunged was too scary.


    Rest assured that we will.


    Nian Junting arrived half an hourter. When he stepped into the room, the General Manager had yet to leave, and the atmosphere was very solemn and stifling.


    Brother Nian Xi greeted him first, and she sounded quite rxed.


    She had caused her family members to worry about her because of her recent injury. As she did not want them to worry about her even more, she said, You didnt inform Dad and Mom, did you? Its just a minor incident. Besides, Im fine now.


    A minor incident? A fleeting, cold, and sharp look shed in Nian Juntings eyes. So its only a minor incident that your elevator plunged from the 11th story to the second story? You could have been smashed to pieces if it had plunged another two stories down!


    Im Im sorry, Brother. I didnt take good care of Xixi. Jiang Yuning abruptly stood up and clenched his fists in guilt. I shouldnt have brought Xixi out to the Botanical Garden. We should have headed home straight away after the follow-up appointment.


    Nian Junting felt a mix of emotions as he nced at Jiang Yuning. Ever since Lu Kang looked into Jiang Yunings past, Nian Junting could no longer bring himself to re up at Jiang Yuning. On the contrary, he even felt a hint of admiration for him. Forget it. You were also trapped in the elevator. We cant pinpoint such a matter on anyone. Nobody can be med for it, he said.


    Nian Xi looked at her brother with a raised eyebrow. She had initially expected her brother to unreasonably get angry at Jiang Yuning. Brother, youre much more magnanimous and reasonable now, she remarked.


    Since when have I not been magnanimous and reasonable? Nian Junting said as he red at her crossly. Are the two of you alright?


    Im fine, Nian Xi said and nodded her head.


    However, Jiang Yuning merely pursed his lips in silence with a troubled expression.


    Five minutester, the elevator repairman came out and exined uneasily, I checked through the elevator once just now. It seems like theres a fault with the inverter. The faultsted for around two seconds, and it was quickly restored subsequently.


    Two seconds? Nian Junting narrowed his eyes. When youre in an elevator, one second of malfunctioning alone can be fatal. Not to mention two seconds! Its practically a miracle to be alive. How do you guys usually conduct your maintenance?


    The repairman replied glumly, I just conducted maintenance on it three days ago, and there was nothing wrong with the elevator at all at that time. I also dont understand why such a thing could happen so abruptly. Besides, this elevator has been in service for seven years, and this is the first time that it has malfunctioned like this.


    Nian Junting remained silent for a moment. Back then, this was one of the fancier, high-end neighborhoods in Xia City. Nian Junting had studied the fire safety measures and the quality of things like the elevator and the property before buying the apartment.


    CEO Nian, Ill ry this to the manufacturer of the elevator, the Property Management Manager continued. Ill get the manufacturer toe and inspect this personally. Its best not to use this elevator for the time being. Im very sorry about todays incident. We can waive two years worth of property management fees for Miss Nian. Alternatively, we can also offerpensation for the emotional distress caused.


    Sure. Nian Junting nodded his head as he sent the property management staff out.


    When they reached the door, Nian Junting then gestured to the General Manager to move in closer before speaking into his ear, Could you investigate if anyone did something to this elevator before the incident happened, or if anyone suspicious appeared in the neighborhood?


    The General Manager was stunned for a moment, but he hastily nodded his head in agreement.


    When Nian Junting returned to the house, he immediately ordered, Pack up. Youll stay at my ce for the time being.


    Nian Xi frowned and replied, I dont want to. Were pretty fine with staying here. The property management team will pay closer attention to the elevator from now on, so problems like these wont happen again. If youre still worried, Ill use the stairs.

 Chapter 1508. Many Little Jiang-jiangs

    Chapter 1508. Many Little Jiang-jiangs


    You dont have to go to work now. It doesnt make a difference where you stay, right? Nian Junting furrowed his brows in frustration. Listen to me, Nian Xi. Youre not young anymore, and our parents are worried sick because of the ident this time. Call it an ident or whatever, but there are just too many things that have happened recently, and were all worried about you.


    Nian Xi pursed her lips in annoyance and nced at Jiang Yuning helplessly.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and tried to hide his expression. He stroked her hair and whispered gently, Xixi, I think its better if you listen to your brother this time.


    Jiang Yuning Nian Xi spoke through gritted teeth.


    This fool! If she went back to stay in the Nian house, the two of them would not be able to spend time together given how strict her brother was.


    Xixi, hes just worried about you, Jiang Yuning muttered gently. Besides, we havent figured out what happened with the elevator, so I dont want you to get on any elevator for now. Its extremely boring being cooped up in an apartment as well, and your brothers ce has a backyard. That will make things more bearable


    Youre just afraid that Ill stop you two from doing those shady things, arent you? I promise I wont interfere, alright?


    Nian Xi was shocked when she heard him. Was he her brother? He used to look at Jiang Yuning with wariness and caution. Was he patronizing her?


    What shady things? Were a couple! Its normal for us to share hugs and kisses.


    Im not going to waste time on this! Just pack your stuff, or do you want me to do it for you? Nian Junting said unceremoniously.


    Ill do it! Jiang Yuning abruptly stood up and replied.


    20 minutester, Jiang Yuning loaded the boot with the trunk and looked down. Xixi, you head over with your brother first, he said softly. I need to grab something from my ce. Ill see you at night.


    Okay. Nian Xi wanted to speak to Nian Junting about something in private as well. How about youe over tomorrow? Its not safe to drive sote at night, not to mention you must be exhausted from today as well.


    Before Jiang Yuning could reply, Nian Xi added quickly, Its decided then! Text meter.


    She pecked him on the cheek before leaving with Nian Junting. In the car, he rolled his eyes and mocked, Dont you think the two of you are gross?


    As if you dont behave the same way with Sangsang! Nian Xi pouted and narrowed her eyes at the man in the rearview mirror. She looked slightly worried as if something was on her mind. Brother, do you think that what happened today wasnt an ident? Is that why youre asking me to stay with you?


    Im not sure either, but I just want to y safe. You only have one shot at life, and we cant risk it. Nian Junting looked serious as he drove away.


    Do you all think that Jiang Yuning is the reason why I was injured? Nian Xi prodded him further with a downcast expression.


    Dont overthink things. We havent figured things out ourselves, but it pays to be careful. Dont end up getting yourself killed before you even step into the church with him. Nian Juntings words cut Nian Xi like a knife. Youre an old maiden now, so you should get to enjoy married life in this lifetime. Itll be a pity if you dont.


    Shut up! Nian Xi hit his shoulder. Ill get married for sure! Im going to give birth to many little Jiang-jiangs!


    Meanwhile, Jiang-jiang barked happily in the back seat.


    Nian Junting turned to look at the dog as he tried hard not to giggle. You want to give birth to puppies, eh? Youre genuinely trying your best, arent you?


    Nian Xi ignored hisment.


    In the estate, after Nian Juntings car drove away, Jiang Yuning headed to the estate management department.

 Chapter 1509. Its Strange, He Just Left Abruptly

    Chapter 1509. It''s Strange, He Just Left Abruptly


    When the estate manager saw him approaching, he greeted Jiang Yuning uneasily, Mr. Jiang, weve already sent feedback to the elevator contractor. Theyre going to send someone up here tomorrow


    Im not here for that. Jiang Yuning replied, his voice gentle and elegant. I want to take a look at the CCTV footage before the ident happened. I want to see if there were any suspicious personnel around, about 100 meters surrounding the elevator.


    The manager was stunned. Mr. Nian hasnt told you yet? He asked me to do the same thing! Im looking at the camera footage as we speak.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. Did Nian Junting think that it was not just a simple ident as well?


    Or did he already find out about something? Did he think that the ident had something to do with him as well?


    He was unsettled and bothered. Nian Junting had never supported his rtionship with Nian Xi in the first ce. Would this put a dent in their rtionship further?


    Mr. Jiang are you okay? the manager asked when he saw the uneasiness in Jiang Yunings eyes.


    Can I take a look at the footage? Jiang Yuning politely asked again, shaking off his worries.


    Of course! This is for Miss Nians safety after all. However, the estate is big and there are many cameras and clips, so you may take a while before you finish watching all of them.


    Its alright.


    Jiang Yuning sat in front of the screen for four hours straight and skipped dinner as well. Even the manager was getting dizzy from all the footage, but since Nian Junting had asked for his help, he thought that he should do his job properly.


    When it was nearly 11 p.m., Jiang Yuning suddenly said, Pause here.


    The manager quickly hit pause, and the screen showed a scrawny boy in a tracksuit carrying a school bag, on the roof of the building opposite to Nian Xis. Whats the matter, Mr. Jiang?


    Is there a CCTV camera on the rooftop? Jiang Yuning asked quickly.


    No, there isnt one on the roof. The manager could not perceive what Jiang Yuning seemed to be looking at. Do you think that this boy did something to the elevator today? I dont think thats possible. Hes in a different building, and hes going to the rooftop.


    Jiang Yuning remained silent, but after staring at the screen for a while, he suddenly stood up and left. The manager was confused and even bewildered.


    He pondered for a moment before deciding to call Nian Junting and report to him, Its strange, he just left abruptly. Mr. Nian, should I still carry on? Ive been watching for ages, but I couldnt see anyone suspicious entering Miss Nians building.


    Go find out if that boy stays in that building, Mr. Nian told him.


    Meanwhile, at Tianhu Vi, Nian Junting put his phone down. Luosang ced Little Apple on the bed after he used the toilet. She said, It must have been an ident. If there wasnt anyone suspicious, no one couldve tampered with the elevator. Dont read too much into it.


    What if someone interfered with the frequency converter with a high-tech device? Nian Junting looked at her. Jiang Yuning suddenly left, and I think he must have figured out something. He asked the manager for the footage within a 100-meter radius from the building, so he must have something in mind that would be able to affect the elevator from that distance. When the interference stopped, the elevator returned to normal. This was just a warning.


    Luosang felt chills running down her spine. Then we should call the police as soon as possible! We can still catch that suspicious man.


    Ill make a police report, but it may not be of use even if we catch him since we dont have sufficient evidence, Nian Junting exined, his face troubled. Theres no evidence left behind when you use radio frequency waves. There arent any cameras on the roof either, so who knows what he was doing up there?

 Chapter 1510. Im About to Get Married, Why Should I Break Up?

    Chapter 1510. I''m About to Get Married, Why Should I Break Up?


    Whilst changing Little Apples diaper, Luosang was distracted as she thought about Nian Xi and worried about her safety. Little Apple finally started protesting when she put on his diaper a little too tightly.


    Its so scary when criminals use high-tech gadgets to carry out their crimes, Luosang remarked.


    Yeah, Im sure that Nian Xi was injured because a criminal organization has been watching Jiang Yuning. Ill talk to the Secretary-General about this. This is not a small case! Nian Junting looked extremely worried.


    Luosang watched him for a while before letting go of Little Apple. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, whispering, I finally understand why you dont approve of Nian Xi and Jiang Yunings rtionship


    You finally understand? Youve always thought that I was just afraid of losing my sister. Am I such a selfish person? Nian Junting grunted softly.


    Luosang giggled and decided to let him have the final word that night. He was still worried about Nian Xi, after all.


    It was seven in the morning, and Jiang Yuning emerged from hisb with bloodshot eyes. His dark pupils looked like they were unable to focus properly. Uncle Han and Xu Gang immediately shuffled toward him with troubled expressions.


    Mister, you spent the entire night in yourboratory! You must be exhausted. Do you want some breakfast? Uncle Han asked.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head with a dazed look. After a while, he finally focused his gaze on Uncle Han. Uncle Han, I made a breakthroughst night in myb. They could have interfered with the converter frequency from that distance. The perpetrator could have done it from that rooftop, and they were sending me a warning.


    Xu Gangs expression darkened. Mr. Jiang, dont worry. Interpol has alreadymenced its operations. ording to our intel, theyre still unclear about the number of TOX organization members in the country. The homnd security departments of several countries also wish to work with us to bring this organization to justice.


    Jiang Yuning was shocked. What exactly do you mean by that?


    Xu Gang frowned. We must not rm our enemies at this moment. If we act now, we will only be catching those criminals around you. They will still likely send another group to target you. You hold vital information, and it will be dire if the information ends up in their hands.


    Jiang Yuning clutched his head in frustration. In the past, this wouldnt have bothered him. However, he had Nian Xi now; someone he treasured, someone he did not wish to lose.


    Nothing can happen to me, and nothing must happen to Nian Xi either, he muttered under his breath as he clutched Xu Gangs hands.


    Uncle Han said angrily, I want to know how news of your work has spread outside! Only the most trusted personnel are kept in the loop about this project. We all understood the gravity of the situation and the sensitive nature of his work. We stopped all of our work and relocated to Xia City for that reason as well.


    Its Zhang Nan, theboratory worker who stole your nanotechnology theory thest time we went to France! He escaped overseas, but weve been trying to track him down. We recently received news that he joined the TOX organization and underwent stic surgery to change his appearance, even his thumbprint, Xu Gang said casually. He was a close aide back then, so he must know something about your work.


    B*stard! Uncle Han angrily punched the wall with his fist.


    Xu Gang sighed. Mr. Jiang, I suggest that you leave Xia City as soon as possible.


    You want me to leave? Jiang Yuning asked in disbelief, his mouth agape. How can I leave? My girlfriend is still here


    Xu Gang said, Or break up with Miss Nian immediately.

 Chapter 1511. I Felt Bad Watching His Tiny Frame Shiver Like That

    Chapter 1511. I Felt Bad Watching His Tiny Frame Shiver Like That


    I wont do that! Jiang Yunings eyes widened as he shouted angrily. I finally have a girlfriend, and Im about to get married! Why should I break up?


    Xu Gang felt helpless. Thats all you can do. Those people will only let her off if they know that you no longer love her.


    Jiang Yuning paced around the room, perplexed and troubled.


    All he could think about at this moment was how he did not want to break up with Nian Xi. There was no way he could do that.


    What are you here for then? He raised his voice at Xu Gang. You should catch the bad guys as soon as possible.


    The people on top want to bait the bigger fish, Xu Gang said helplessly. Theyre infamous criminals who use high-tech to carry out their crimes! They can kill someone remotely without even being in their proximity. Its our chance to destroy this organization and stop them in their tracks.


    Uncle Han frowned. What do you mean? Is our Mister the bait?


    They already know about your research and what you have. Even if its safe now, theyll find you again at every opportunity. Where can you hide for the rest of your life? Are you going to stay underground in Xia City forever? The police cant be protecting you forever either. When you start a family and have children, they may be in danger as well, Xu Gang replied loudly. And your family, we need to tackle the root of the problem.


    Jiang Yunings elegant features were contorted. He was utterly distraught. After a moment, he quietly shut his door, signaling that he did not wish to speak to anyone anymore.


    Uncle Han frowned deeply. Xu Gang, you should know our Misters personality, especially before he met Miss Nian. Ever since they started dating, his autistic traits have improved tremendously. Hes able to interact normally with people now, as well as socialize and make friends. If he breaks up with Miss Nian, Im worried that he will regress to a stage even worse than before.


    Xu Gang patted his shoulder. Ive protected him in the past. I feel the heartache too, but there are some things we have to do.


    Uncle Han clenched his fists tightly.


    In the vi, at nine in the morning, Nian Xi called Jiang Yuning after she had her breakfast, but his phone was switched off.


    This guy! Weve only been apart for one night, and he already turned off his phone! Nian Xi grumbled in dissatisfaction.


    Luosang smiled in an attempt to reassure her, but she was worried.


    After hearing from Nian Junting the previous night, she was worried that Jiang Yuning would raise the matter of breaking up with Nian Xi to protect her.


    If she was in her shoes, she would find it difficult to ept a break up on these circumstances.


    Nian Xi had dated Feng Jichuan for so many years in the past, and they had broken up just before marriage was in the talks. Now that she was with Jiang Yuning, it would be devastating if they broke up as well now. Would she ever believe in love again?


    Sangsang, do you think he has gotten tired of taking care of me? Nian Xi asked suddenly.


    Luosang turned to see her staring out of the window, looking slightly troubled and unsettled.


    She quickly rebutted her, Dont be ridiculous, Professor Jiang isnt someone like that. If he does feel that way, I dont think Ill ever believe in love again.


    Nian Xi fellpletely silent.


    Did Luosang consider her brothers feelings when she said that?


    What about you? Luosangughed. When have you grown so dependent on Professor Jiang? Youve only spent one night apart from each other! Do you truly take him to be your little Jiang-jiang?


    I must have gotten used to seeing him every day now that were living together. Nian Xi was shocked to find how needy and clingy she had gotten. Im worried that hes shocked by the events that day as well; he has quite a weak heart after all. He was trembling when he held me in his arms yesterday. I felt bad watching his tiny frame shiver like that.


    Luosang was speechless. Did the two of them reverse their roles in their rtionship?

 Chapter 1512. Xixi, Men Dont Like It When Women Are Too Clingy

    Chapter 1512. Xixi, Men Don''t Like It When Women Are Too Clingy


    Nian Xi turned to look at her. Have you ever met anyone whom you just have the instinct to protect? To protect forever?


    Luosang stared at her nkly. Are you asking me about your brother? I have the urge to kick him whenever I see him.


    Nian Xi did not utter another word.


    I think you better just take care of our Little Apple forever! Nian Xi chuckled as she carried Little Apple in her arms.


    Little Apple wrapped his arms around her neck and hugged her sweetly.


    Nian Xi felt slightly envious as she looked at the two of them. She too wanted to get married.


    Nian Xi held herself back for the entire morning, but she became slightly anxious in the afternoon. Jiang Yuning was still not picking up her calls. Eventually, she decided to call Uncle Han. Uncle Han, is Yuning alright? He isnt picking up my calls.


    Uncle Han looked at the shut door helplessly, he did not know what to say. Everythings alright, hes in hisboratory. Im not sure what hes up to, but he seems pretty serious.


    Nian Xi was upset when she heard him. Are his experiments more important than me? He should be picking up my calls no matter the circumstance! Did he forget about that?


    Thats just the way it is. Sometimes, hell forget to take his meals and rest when he gets into his research. Ill ask him to call you back immediately after hees out. Uncle Han then hung up hastily.


    Nian Xi looked at her phone. She had a feeling of uneasiness at the bottom of her stomach.


    Jiang Yuning would never treat her this way.


    She mmed the table and dered, Im going to look for Jiang Yuning.


    Your brother said that youre not allowed to go out! Luosang had turned down projects and gigs just to watch her at home these two days.


    Sangsang, dont listen to my brother! Its not that dangerous outside! Nian Xi was confident and insistent! He likes to make mountains out of molehills.


    Xixi, men dont like it when women are too clingy, Luosang tried to persuade her gently.


    What are you saying? I think my brother enjoys it quite a bit.


    Your brother is an outlier! Luosang threw her hands up helplessly. If I cling onto him every day, even if he enjoys it at the beginning, hell eventually lose interest and find me tiresome. All men like it when women y hard to get, just like your brother. If I ignore him for a day, hell be hopping around anxiously.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Luosangs words made sense.


    Luosang handed her phone over to her. You can y some games if youre bored.


    Thus, she yed mobile games until the second day, but there was still no news from Jiang Yuning. It was almost as if he had disappeared.


    Nian Xi could no longer sit still, but Nian Junting forbade her from leaving the mansion.


    Brother, did you say something to Jiang Yuning? Nian Xi could tell that something was wrong. Ever since we started dating, there isnt a day where he ignored me and didnt contact me. Did you tell him that a criminal organization has its eyes on him or something? Did you ask him to leave me for the sake of my safety? Hes a fool! He might have believed you and agreed to your terms.


    Nian Junting was furious when he heard her. Why do you think of me as such a despicable man?


    I dont know. Nian Xi bit her lips. Youve never given us your support! You even suspected that the ident yesterday had something to do with him too


    Nian Xi, Im telling you. Youre going to stay here! Youre not going anywhere else, Nian Junting warned her sternly. You want to see him? Fine, Ill drag him here for you. I cant stand youngsters like you! You cant stand not seeing each other for just one day? I was apart from Sangsang for several months! Cant you be a little more resilient?


    Nian Xi was a little embarrassed when Nian Junting told her off like this. Was she being too spoiled and wilful?


    She had never acted this way before. She was fine with seeing him just once a week before. What happened to her now?

 Chapter 1513. Nobodys Asking You to Break up with Nian Xi

    Chapter 1513. Nobody''s Asking You to Break up with Nian Xi


    Nian Junting drove his car and sped to the foot of Jiang Yunings apartment.


    He frantically went up the apartment block and pressed the doorbell to Jiang Yunings house. After a long time, a burly man finally opened the door.


    Nian Junting could recognize him at one nce. That man was among those who came to pick Jiang Yuning up when he first came to his house. Nian Junting had not seen this man around Jiang Yuning for a very long time, and yet he appeared again today.


    Nian Juntings expression became solemn, and he could tell that something was amiss. Wheres Jiang Yuning? he asked.


    Hes in his room, Xu Gang answered. He then moved aside to let Nian Junting into the house. Mr. Nian, youre just in time. I hope you can help us persuade him.


    Uncle Han walked over and sighed as he said, Im sure youre much more aware of certain matters than Miss Nian. Yesterday, our Mister said that youve even instructed the Property Management Manager to investigate if anyone suspicious had appeared in the neighborhood before the incident. Im sure youve already figured out that yesterdays elevator incident wasnt purely an ident.


    Nian Juntings expression turned cold, and he replied, What are your thoughts about this? You guys are the cause of this!


    We hope that Mr. Jiang and Miss Nian can stay separately for the time being, Xu Gang said before he continued to exin the ns that his superiors have worked out. The organization has alreadymitted more than 500 crimes all over the world since around five years ago. The funds amounted to 100 billion US dors, and the crimes that theyvemitted were all high IQ crimes. Morally corrupt researchers from various countries have joined their organization, and we still couldnt locate their hideout up till now. Mr. Nian, you were from the special forces, so we hope you can understand our feelings.


    Nian Junting clenched his fists tightly. He had known that Jiang Yuning was not a simple man since a long time ago, and yet the thing that he least wanted to see still happened.


    Nian Junting ignored Xu Gang and headed straight for the master bedroom, but the room was locked from the inside.


    I have the key, Uncle Han said. He then retrieved a key and opened the door. Our Mister hasnte out of the room ever since he went in yesterday. He neither ate nor drank!


    Nian Junting entered the room and found Jiang Yuning huddled on the huge bed. He was tightly tucked under his nket, and only his head popped out from beneath. A stubble had grown all over his chin, and he looked less well-groomed and slightly more dispirited. He was quiet, and his eyes were shut as though he was asleep.


    Not going easy on Jiang Yuning, Nian Junting immediately yanked his nket away. Jiang Yuning immediately curled up into a ball and hugged his head as he murmured, I dont want to break up. I dont want to break up


    A look of pity shed across Nian Juntings face.


    Nian Junting then pulled him up and said, Nobodys asking you to break up with Nian Xi.


    When Jiang Yuning heard Nian Xis name, his eyshes quivered, and he then opened his eyes slowly. When he saw Nian Junting, he immediately dived back under his nket in fear and said, Im not talking to you! You must be here to force me to break up with Nian Xi!


    Nian Junting could feel the corners of his lips twitching.


    He wondered how evil he must have seemed for Jiang Yuning to be so terrified of him.


    Im not intending to force you guys to break up, Nian Junting said as he rubbed the area between his brows. He then forcefully yanked the nkets away from Jiang Yuning and threw them onto the ground. As he was tossing the nket, a womans lingerie suddenly fell out from it.


    Stupefied for a moment, Nian Junting quickly hauled Jiang Yuning up in anger and asked, Who the heck does this belong to? Which stage have you and Nian Xi reached?


    Im not telling you Jiang Yuning violently shook him off before lunging for the lingerie and hugging it in his chest.


    Nian Junting inhaled several deep breaths of air, before speaking in a cold and low voice, Since things have reached this state, do you think that everything will be fine as long as you hide and avoid everyone? Have you ever considered how worried Nian Xi was when she couldnt reach you at all for the past two days? Her thoughts must be running wild now. Hurry up and give her a call.


    I wont. You guys want us to break up! Jiang Yuning replied with his head hung low.

 Chapter 1514. The Other Party Should Choose Whether She Wants to Break Up or Wait

    Chapter 1514. The Other Party Should Choose Whether She Wants to Break Up or Wait


    Nian Junting was stunned.


    He suddenly felt like he could understand why Jiang Yuning was able to move Nian Xis heart. Nian Xi was a tough girl, and he could evoke her desire to protect him.


    Anyone would think that you want to break up with Nian Xi since youve retreated into your own world, ignored everyone, and refused to answer Nian Xis call, Nian Junting said as he looked down at him condescendingly. Even Nian Xi thinks that youre probably sick of taking care of her.


    Im not Jiang Yuning said as he looked up anxiously. Why would I be sick of taking care of her? Even if she continues to walk with a limp for the rest of her life, Im willing to take care of her as long as I live.


    What do you mean when you say that shell walk with a limp for the rest of her life? Mind your words! Nian Junting warned with a dark expression on his face.


    Jiang Yuning looked down, forlorn. As if he did not hear what Nian Junting had said, he resumed, Im not going with you because I dont know what I should do. I dont want to break up with her, but Im also afraid Ill implicate her.


    There are certain things that you have to face. Nian Junting bent down and tried to speak in a gentler voice, Of course, its certainly better for you to leave Xia City and cut off contact with Nian Xi for the time being. However, I feel that you can be more honest and rify things with her. Shes not an unreasonable person. Besides, shes a cop, and shell know that the most important thing now is to catch the criminal.


    Jiang Yuning was shocked.


    Nian Junting continued to say, Perhaps you may think that you initiated a one-sided breakup for her sake, but shell hate you. She may even doubt herself and put herself down. This is especially so since women tend to let their thoughts run wild. In the past, others have also threatened my wife to break up with me. She kept this from me and ditched me, and I had an exceptionally hard time then. I couldnt understand why because we were fine in one moment and yet, in the next instant, she told me that she had fallen for someone else. It hurt more than having a knife pierce through your heart. Afterward, she said that she was merely putting on an act to trick the other party, and she did not let me in on it because she was afraid that the other party would see through my poor acting. We resolved the misunderstanding, but I still cant get over it even after a long time. I was pretty mad, and I even hated her for a while.


    I feel that, at the very least, a couple should be honest with each other and rify things when they face troubles. You may think that youre having a hard time, but it may be worse for the other party. The difference is that at least you know that the other party still loves you.


    Minimally, you should allow the other party to choose if she wants to break up or to wait. You shouldnt decide on your own.


    Jiang Yuning mulled over Nian Juntings words carefully. Finally, his jet-ck eyes seemed as if he had found a ray of hope.


    Besides, the people in the TOX organization may not necessarily buy it since you chose to break up at this point, Nian Junting continued. If you truly want to protect Nian Xi, you should step forward instead of hiding behind her. You should attract the attention of all the bad guys over to you.


    Mr. Nian. Uncle Han frowned and interrupted them.


    Am I wrong? Nian Junting turned and looked at Xu Gang. You have to venture deep inside the tigers den if you want to destroy it. Thats the only way. Ive led a few operations back then when I was in the army. It was a matter of life and death every time, but Ive never failed.


    Xu Gangs brows trembled slightly.


    Say no more! Uncle Han said, sounding much harsher than before. How can our Mister possibly do such a thing? Hell break down.


    No, he wont, Nian Junting said, and his expression looked as sharp as a knife. He could stay underground for ten days and nights without breaking down. This goes to show that hes actually very strong at heart and has a high level of tolerance.


    Uncle Han sneered coldly and said, You make it sound so easy, but youre not the one whos going.

 Chapter 1515. Really Stank, and Xixi Definitely Would Not Be Pleased

    Chapter 1515. Really Stank, and Xixi Definitely Would Not Be Pleased


    I would also do this for the sake of my loved ones, and for the sake of growing old together with her. Every word that Nian Junting said was elegant. I dont understand what project of yours the other party is coveting, but it must be important. No matter where you hide, even if youre protected, you cant possibly hide for the rest of your life. Youll have to think for her family members.


    Weve discussed this idea before. Xu Gang gritted his teeth and said abruptly, But I objected strongly because I felt that it wouldnt work for Mr. Jiang. However, this is certainly the best solution, and Mr. Jiang wont have to break up with Miss Nian.


    Uncle Han replied coldly, But its also possible that he wont ever be able to return.


    What exactly are you guys talking about? Jiang Yuning waspletely lost. Whats the solution that doesnt need me to break up with Nian Xi and can allow us to be together until were old?


    Uncle Han could not put up with this anymore. He yanked Jiang Yuning up intending to leave. Sir, dont listen to them. You should return to theboratory.


    No, I want to listen, Jiang Yuning said obstinately and refused to budge.


    Nian Junting rubbed his brows, while Xu Gang smiled helplessly. Were saying that you should work as an undercover. TOX is currently targeting Miss Nian, but their motives are actually very simple. They want you to hand over what they want. If the thing that they want is in your mind, then we can only bring you to them. A genius scientist like you is a prized treasure to people like them. We cant send other spies over as the people in their organization are all skilled in technology. You wont be able to pass any message out unless youre also skilled in technology!


    Under undercover? Jiang Yunings lips quivered in fear. Ive watched movies about spies with Nian Xi before. It looks very very scary.


    Nian Junting was speechless.


    You heard him, Uncle Han said crossly. Our Mister has never even lied before. Hes especially timid.


    Its just a suggestion. Im not insisting that he should go. He should think this through himself. These are his affairs, and Im merely an outsider. You guys can mull over it slowly, but the pressing matter on hand is to give Nian Xi a call or to rify things with her in person, Nian Junting replied with a frown on his face. If you still wont go, shell think that Im the one who threatened you to leave.


    Ill go. Ill go meet Nian Xi. Jiang Yuning immediately straightened his back. If nobody was going to threaten him to break up with Nian Xi, then he would head over to her immediately.


    Nian Junting was speechless when he saw how sloppy Jiang Yuning looked. Please shave your beard and brush your teeth. God knows how many days youve gone without brushing your teeth. It stinks!


    After Jiang Yuning huffed out a breath of air and took a sniff. He was also disgusted with himself.


    It stank so much, and Xixi definitely would not be pleased. She would always ask him to brush his teeth clean before they kiss.


    Jiang Yuning leaned against the window of the car and spaced out while they were on their way to the vi.


    Meanwhile, Nian Junting kept answering calls from his home and his office.


    Finally, when they were not far from the vi, Jiang Yuning suddenly asked glumly, What if someone steals Nian Xi from me while Im working as an undercover? Like Feng Ji Chuan for instance. He always has his eyes on her.


    Nian Junting almost mmed on his car brakes out of shock.


    He nced sideways at the man beside him. Jiang Yuning still looked fair and well-groomed, but his clear eyes were oozing with sadness, which made Nian Juntings heart sink.


    He never actually expected Jiang Yuning to agree to the solution that he had proposed earlier on.


    Youve decided


    No. I merely want to have a future with Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning said as he lowered his head. Besides, I also need to be responsible for Nian Xi.

 Chapter 1516. Ive Decided to Be the Undercover

    Chapter 1516. I''ve Decided to Be the Undercover


    Nian Juntings expression was slightly cold. He could not bear to drive the car any further, and he mmed on the brakes and parked the car by the side of the road. In a very helpless tone, he muttered, Dont tell me that you guys have already


    No, I didnt break my promise to you, Jiang Yuning said as he frantically waved his hands. s, shortly after, he blushed and said, Well Weve only touched touched certain areas of our bodies.


    Nian Junting fellpletely speechless.


    He nced sideways at him without speaking, and he seemed as if he was looking at a fly.


    He could finally understand why Mo Liuxi was hostile towards him in the past.


    However, they were men after all. Besides, Luosang had also made a reasonable point that it was rare for couples to be intimate on purely emotional terms.


    Nian Junting stared at Jiang Yuning, and he seemed as if he could get physical with him within the next moment. Jiang Yuning was already mentally prepared, and the air remained still for a very long time before Nian Junting abruptly replied coldly, In that case, you certainly have to be responsible for her. If youre a man, you should be bolder and take responsibility for your actions.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned for a moment before he said emotionally, Brother


    Nian Junting felt like cursing a thousand times in his heart. Who the f*ck was his brother?


    However, he restrained himself and said, When I was dating Luosang back then, I already felt like I should be responsible for her even when I merely kissed her. We also faced hurdles together. Our family was against us dating, and her father was going to jail, but none of these mattered. I can ovee them and help her resolve these problems. When a man meets a woman whom he loves, hell gradually be more outstanding, braver, and perfect, because he wants to bring happiness to his partner.


    In the past, Nian Junting thought that he was already a perfect man. After he met Luosang, however, he realized that there were many things that he needed to work on.


    A look of confusion shed across Jiang Yunings jet-ck eyes. He seemed as if he did not understand what Nian Junting said, but it also appeared as if he understood something.


    No matter which path you choose to take, you have to shelter the woman you love from the storm. Regardless of how strong Nian Xi is, theres bound to be moments when shes weak, Nian Junting said with a mix of emotions. If you cant do this, then its best to leave her while its not toote.


    I dont want to! Jiang Yuning objected. His pupils shrank, and he shook his head violently. I can do anything for Nian Xi. Im just afraid that someone will snatch Nian Xi away from me. Do you understand my feelings?


    No, because Im confident in myself, Nian Junting replied arrogantly.


    Jiang Yuning stared at the ground and said, If I clear all the obstacles and return only to find that Nian Xi has married another man, then whats the point? On the other hand, I cant marry her in advance either. If I cant make it back, at least she can still marry someone else.


    Nian Junting was stunned for a moment, before replying, Dont worry, Nian Xis a cop. When she knows what youve left her for, youll be a hero in her heart, and shell love you even more.


    Really? Jiang Yunings eyes glimmered.


    Of course. This was certain.


    Brother, in that case, Ive decided to be the undercover, Jiang Yuning said seriously.


    When Nian Junting met Jiang Yunings pure, innocent eyes, he suddenly felt as if he had done something exceptionally sinful.


    Um Actually You can still give this some more thought


    He might not be able to make it back.


    Nian Xi has said in the past that she hopes that the man she loves will tread on seven auspicious clouds to ask for her hand in marriage. I only knew afterward that she meant that she hoped for him to be a peerless hero. Im not one, Jiang Yuning muttered. But Im willing to give it a try for her sake. A hero shouldnt bring danger to his girlfriend and hide behind her back to avoid the problem, dont you think?

 Chapter 1517. Xixi, Im Hungry

    Chapter 1517. Xixi, I''m Hungry


    Nian Juntings throat felt dry, and he was at a loss for words.


    At that moment, he admired Jiang Yuning.


    Perhaps Nian Xi did not pick the wrong man this time.


    The car gradually came to a stop at the parking lot in the vi, and Nian Junting said with a mix of emotions, Ill tell Nian Xi about you being an undercover after you leave. She wont agree if she knows about this in advance.


    Nian Junting knew Nian Xis temperament too well. She always took Jiang Yuning under her wing, so she probably would not be able to bear to let him suffer from any hardships.


    Jiang Yuning merely nodded his head.


    As they entered the vi, Jiang-jiang ran towards them and barked. However, Nian Xi remained seated on the sofa with her back faced towards them, and she ate her fruits without turning around.


    She was quite annoyed because she felt that no matter what the reason was, it was uneptable for Jiang Yuning to not contact her for one whole day and night. He did not even answer his call, which caused her to worry dreadfully. He never considered her perspective at all.


    Xixi Jiang Yuning quickly walked over. When he saw the fruits in her hands, he suddenly felt hungry and his stomach growled.


    Nian Xi threw him a cold look before turning back and continuing to watch the television, as though he was transparent like air.


    Little Apple crawled across the sofa and sprawled across Nian Xis shoulders, before saying in a childlike voice, Auntie, I want to eat the orange.


    There, there, Nian Xi said. She then peeled a slice of orange and fed it to him. Little Apple smacked his lips, savoring the fruit.


    On the other hand, Jiang Yuning watched him in envy. He also wanted Nian Xi to feed him an orange.


    Xixi, are you still angry with me? Jiang Yuning asked in a fawning manner as he sat down beside her.


    Im not angry, Nian Xi replied, but her eyes never looked away from the television. You cane and go as you please. Its fine even if you dont ever hit me up again or answer my calls. Brother, why did you bring him over?


    Nian Junting snorted silently, and he felt like cursing her for her hypocrisy.


    Little Apple, lets head outside with Daddy to look at the doggy, alright? Luosang carried Little Apple and dragged Nian Junting out.


    After all of them were gone, Jiang Yuning quickly squatted down and grabbed hold of Nian Xis hand. He thenid his cheeks on her tiny hands and said, Xixi, dont be mad at me anymore


    Jiang Yuning, stop bothering me! Nian Xi retracted her hand in anger. I understand if you dont want to take care of me since youve been doing so everyday for such a long time. If youre out of patience and want to take a break, you can just let me know about it. But was it necessary to ignore my calls? You didnt even reply to my WeChat messages. Do you want to break up with me? You can say it to my face if you want to. I dont like to beat around the bush. Dont give excuses like losing track of time because youve been performing experiments in theboratory. Ive never seen any other scientist behave like this


    She was not a superficial woman who would easily sumb to the seduction of beauty.


    She forcefully shoved him away and chided, Jiang Yuning, answer me properly! Keep your hands off me!


    I didnt Xixi, Im hungry. I havent eaten any food for a day and night.


    Serves you right for not eating! Nian Xi said as she red at him viciously. I didnt stuff your mouth to stop you from eating. You can stop ying the victim now.


    Xixi, I couldnt eat, Jiang Yuning said while shaking his head. Other people are forcing me to break up with you, but Im unwilling to! I felt miserable, so I hid in my room and neither ate nor drank anything.

 Chapter 1518. Her Boyfriend Made up His Mind Without Any Hesitation

    Chapter 1518. Her Boyfriend Made up His Mind Without Any Hesitation


    Nian Xi was stunned for a while before she reacted angrily, Who did this? My brother or my dad? Ill go talk to them and teach them a lesson. Do they seriously think that they can just step all over me just like that?


    No Jiang Yuning hastily denied. Its Xu Gang.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She knew Xu Gang, who was there when they went to Europe to protect Jiang Yuning. She had guessed that he was somewhat a part of Interpol.


    Xixi, quiet down! Will you listen to me? Jiang Yuning hugged her around her shoulders. I need to tell you about something from the past. When I was 23 years old, I was developing a project rted to dark matter. I was just curious about it, so I went in without much thought. However, as the project continued, I reached a breakthrough, but if the results of my research ended up with the wrong people, this could affect the survival of all of our future sons and daughters.


    Nian Xi was shocked. If you knew about the dangers, why did you go into the project in the first ce?


    Many scientists dont know or dont consider the risks of their work when theyre so blinded by the chase. Things werent so clear to me back then either. Jiang Yuning grimaced. Of course it can serve good use as well, but not right now. When I came to Xia City, I wanted to stay far away from where ourb was in the past, and I was trying to hide from it as well. Remember when myb assistant leaked information about my work when we were in France? He escaped the country to join the TOX organization. Now that they know about the existence of the study materials of dark matter, they have their eyes on me now.


    Nian Xi was breathing more quickly now, and her eyes were much darker.


    Jiang Yuning clenched her hands. The elevator incident, and when you got shot. Those were all warnings that they were sending to me.


    Nian Xi refused to believe what he was saying, shaking her head in disbelief. She had contemted the possibility of something like that before, but now, she did not want this to be true.


    Xixi, Im telling you the truth! Interpol is on the move now, it was the first time Jiang Yuning had spoken to her so seriously. The organization is big, and they have connections all over the world. We need international cooperation to take them down altogether, but its going to take a while. So Ill have to leave Xia City for the time being.


    Okay, Ille with you! I can protect you! Nian Xi nodded her head right away. Ill apply for a transfer! Ive been tasked to protect you before! Im a cop after all


    You should stay in Xia City Jiang Yuning interrupted her. He sounded firm and decisive.


    Jiang Yuning Nian Xi flung his arms away, frustrated. What do you mean? You dont want me to follow you? Or are you going to find another woman in the time being


    Jiang Yuning kissed her lips with his own before she could finish her sentence. When she grew quiet, he slowly drew apart and said softly, Xixi, why do you think Im leaving? I dont want to bring you into this. Do you know why the elevator malfunctioned thest time? They used a device that interfered with the radiofrequency of the converter. The culprit was on the roof of the building opposite you. They werent even close to you, so you wont be able to handle these people.


    Nian Xi was terrified. She never imagined that her life would be intertwined with sophisticated criminals like them, but she had never cowered and withdrawn from a fight. And you can deal with them? Will they leave me alone once you leave? They already know that Im your girlfriend! They may even use me to threaten you


    I wont hand over my work even then! Jiang Yuning said with resolve.


    Nian Xi fellpletely silent.


    Right, even if that was the case, she was slightly frustrated that her boyfriend had made up his mind without any hesitation.

 Chapter 1519. Either You Bring Me Along, Or Were Breaking Up

    Chapter 1519. Either You Bring Me Along, Or We''re Breaking Up


    Jiang Yuning scrambled for an exnation when he saw that she was quiet. Its not that I dont care about you. Its just that I have a duty and responsibility as a scientist. If I hand my work over, Ill be doing more harm to a lot of people. So dont be hurt. If youre not around, Ill join you over on the other side. Ill never leave you alone.


    Dont say such things. Nian Xi reached out to hold him. Im a police officer, after all. I understand the importance of the greater good, and I know that youre doing the right thing. I just want to shoulder this together with you. Besides, will you be alright with leaving me? Wont you be worried?


    Your brother and father will protect you, Jiang Yuning replied confidently. Once I leave, Xu Gang will be arresting the people around here, and youll be safe after that. If you leave with me, youll be in more danger. You have to spare a thought for your family.


    Nian Xi understood that he was not going to bring her with him no matter what. When are youing back then? A few months? Half a year? A year?


    Jiang Yuning bit his lips and stared at her for a while. He paused for a moment, before saying, The longest Ill have to stay there will be three years. I may be able to call you or text you.


    Nian Xi fellpletely silent. She rubbed her hair in confusion and pushed his hands away.


    She was about to go crazy. Her ex-boyfriend had left to serve for eight years, and now her current boyfriend was going to leave for three years again. He could not even text or call her; she was independent to that extent.


    Xixi, Xu Gang has asked me to break up with you, but I cant bear to do that. Jiang Yuning walked up to hug her, as he did not want to be further apart from her than he had to. Your brother told me that we have to be honest with each other in a rtionship. No matter what happens in the end, I have to respect and honor you. I dont want to break up with you, but Im terrified of losing you. I know Im putting you in a difficult position, but this is the only solution I can think of right now.


    The only solution? Nian Xi forcefully pushed him away, about to erupt in anger. Jiang Yuning, Im a human being and a woman! Im giving you a choice. Either you bring me along and face our obstacles together, or were breaking up


    Jiang Yuning could not answer her. How could he bring her along?


    He was not even sure if he was going toe back alive.


    However, if they broke up now, she might be married to someone else by the time he could return.


    He was utterly despondent. What was the right thing to do?


    Nian Xi was furious when she saw that he had gone quiet. She was on the verge of tears.


    Three years  a long time indeed. Would he still love her the same way once he came back? Would things have changed by then?


    She had been hurt once before, and she did not dare to go through that again.


    However, she could not bear to give it up right now either. They had just gotten engaged, and they were deeply in love at this moment.


    The living room was dead silent for a long time before Jiang Yuning abruptly stood up and walked to the door.


    Thinking that he was about to leave her, Nian Xi grabbed an apple on the table and hurled it at him angrily with reddened, tear-stained eyes. Jiang Yuning, I forbid you from leaving if you dont make things clear right now!


    The apple hit his back, causing him to wince in pain. He turned to look at her pitifully. I wasnt going to leave, I was going to go get your brother to discuss things with him.


    What do you mean? Are you going to ask my brother to push me? Of course, hes not going to let me apany you Nian Xi hated the fact that she was not able to walk now. Otherwise, she would drag him to the bed and teach him a lesson.


    Who said that I wont let you go? All of a sudden, Nian Junting walked in with Little Apple in his arms. Nian Xi, I heard you screaming and shouting at the door. How can you treat Jiang Yuning so badly?


    Meanwhile, Luosang nearly tripped on the shoe cab while following behind him.

 Chapter 1520. He Wants You to Think of Him as a Hero

    Chapter 1520. He Wants You to Think of Him as a Hero


    Did she hear herself correctly? Was this still her mean and petty husband?


    He had been seeing Jiang Yuning as a thorn in his flesh for a long time, but he was now defending him instead.


    Nian Xi was speechless for a while as well. Her tears rolled back, and she was not sniffling anymore.


    On the contrary, Jiang Yuning looked like his savior had just arrived, and he walked over quickly. He said pitifully, Brother, what should I do? She wont listen to me!


    Nian Xi was stunned. From the way he was talking to Nian Junting, it seemed as though they were biologically rted to each other. What was going on?


    Ill talk to her. Nian Junting patted his shoulder and walked over to the couch. Frowning, he asked, Nian Xi, cant you be a little more mature and thoughtful?


    Why am I the immature one here? Nian Xi red at him angrily. Imagine if Sangsang leaves you for three years, and you cant even text or call her. No matter how strong I am, Im not secure enough to go on like this. Three years is a long time, and things and people will change. Either you let me go with him and protect him, or we can just break up now


    She was choking up as she finished her sentence. She felt a pang in her chest as if someone was ripping her heart out.


    Ever since she broke up with Feng Ji Chuan, she had lost the courage to wait for someone, despite knowing that Jiang Yuning did not mean for any of this to happen.


    I dont I dont want to break up! Jiang Yunings face was pale with terror.


    Dont worry, I wont let you guys break up, Nian Juntingforted him gently. He turned to Nian Xi and said sternly, You were the one who insisted on getting together with him at the beginning. You cant call for a break up now; Yuning is a great guy. He has a gentle disposition, hes good to you, hes handsome, and hes also a talented scientist. Yuning is a blessing given to you.


    Nian Xis eyes nearly popped out of her sockets.


    He hade over to fetch Jiang Yuning. He was apletely changed person now.


    Look at what he was saying! These were the things that her grandma used to say when she tried to convince Nian Junting to support her rtionship with Jiang Yuning.


    Are you really my brother? Nian Xi was upset. What did he say to you? Did he brainwash you? I admit that hes very outstanding in many areas, but I need apanion. Im not certain that he wont betray me in the three years were apart, and Im also not certain that hell still love me. Well, I guess we can put things on hold for now. Well see what happens when hees back three yearster.


    Jiang Yuning looked down at the floor like a sad puppy.


    You cant say that! Nian Junting was in a dilemma, and he looked perplexed. Finally, he spoke softly, I didnt want to tell you at the beginning because I was scared that I would just worry you unnecessarily, but I have to be frank with you. Once he leaves, hes not just going to hide, hes going undercover in TOX. His mission is to figure out the location of the headquarters of the organization, so the police can take down the entire organization in its whole.


    Nian Xi inhaled sharply. Luosang did the same too, and they were both shocked to discover this information. This this doesnt sound too safe, Nian Xi murmured. Hes so introverted! Itll be too dangerous, and hell be ying with fire.


    Hes doing all of these so that he can be with you forever! Nian Junting was frowning deeply now. He told me that he wants you to think of him as a hero. Youre right, hes timid and introverted, but hes also courageous because of his love for you. I admire him for doing this as well. Nian Xi, how can someone like him change his mind about you after three years?


    Nian Xi was shaken. Nian Juntings words resonated with her deeply.


    In her mind, Jiang Yuning had always been a rose in a greenhouse that she fought hard to protect.


    Right now, the fragile flower was saying that he was willing to take on the risks of this dangerous mission to be with her forever. She was terrified and horrified by this thought.


    Im not agreeing to this! She was vigorously shaking her head, her body trembling.

 Chapter 1521. Why Did I Fall in Love With SuChapter a Fool?

    Chapter 1521. Why Did I Fall in Love With SuChapter a Fool?


    You cant be protecting him forever, Nian Junting said unceremoniously. His enemy is powerful and formidable, so you wont be able to protect him against them anyway. The police are waiting it out to catch the big fish, and if they dont excavate the entire organization, you two wont be able to spend the rest of your lives together in peace.


    Easy for you to say! Its not your loved one whos leaving right now! Nian Xi red at him angrily. Nian Junting would frequently infuriate her, but she had never felt this amount of rage before. If he doesnte back alive, whos going to take responsibility for that? Who? You? Hes small, frail, timid, and he cant even tell a lie properly. Hell easily blow his cover!


    Nian Junting chuckled. You probably dont know him well enough then.


    As if you know him better than I do! Hes my man! Nian Xi was furious. Anyway, if you want him to go undercover, youll have to step over my dead body first.


    For a moment, everyone was silent.


    Jiang Yuning looked around, his lips pursed. Finally, he stepped out and said, Xixi, I think your brothers right. I have the right to make this decision by myself. You would do the same if you were in my position.


    How could it be the same? Im a cop! I perform well in adrenaline-filled situations, and Im agile and skilled. What about you? What do you have? Nian Xi asked anxiously with frustration.


    Nian Junting sighed in frustration. If youre so agile, then why did you end up in a wheelchair after getting shot? Why were you nearly burnt to death in theb? He was the one who rescued you. If a fight really enfolds, Im sure hell beat you with his high-technology gadgets.


    Nian Xi was shocked. Why did she find that so familiar-sounding? Was she the one who had said that to him?


    Xixi, Im not just doing this for you. Jiang Yuning looked at her seriously. Im doing this for my parents too, as well as for those people who have died because of this organization. If no one stops them, more and more people will end up getting hurt in the future. Secondly, I was the one who created this problem in the first ce. It was my research, so I need to solve this myself. Youre right, Im terrified and scared, and Ive never fought criminals before, but I know that I have to, for your sake. I want to be with you forever, not just for a short while. Besides, you like heroes. I may not be a hero, but I still want to make you proud in my own ways. Ill be brave for you.


    After we started dating, I changed a lot. I used to dislike talking to people, and I was always in my own world. But now I know how much happiness there can be with others in my world, and the amount of bliss I can receive from interacting with someone I like. As long as I have you in my heart and mind, Im certain that I can do this. I promise you that Ille back alive, alright?


    It was the first time he had said so many words at one go.


    Nian Xi had burst into tears halfway through his speech. Tears were incessantly rolling down her cheeks.


    She pondered about when she had first met him when he would tag along behind her like a fool.


    Throughout their rtionship, he had learned to stand in front of her whenever danger appeared before her.


    Jiang Yuning, you fool Why did I fall in love with such a fool? she choked up.


    Because I am a fool who would change for you, Jiang Yuning said softly and hugged her tightly. When Ie back, I hope that youll be proud of me.


    Nian Xi bit her lips tightly. She could not bear to say a word, afraid that she might break down if she opened her mouth.


    Luosang sighed gently, wiping away a tear at the corner of her eye. She was moved by the scene in front of her as well.


    The peace and lives of ordinary people like her probably depended on the sacrifices of the police and scientists, as well as their altruistic contributions.

 Chapter 1522. Luoluo, Do You Think Im Being Too Cruel?

    Chapter 1522. Luoluo, Do You Think I''m Being Too Cruel?


    At dinner, Nian Xi lost her appetite just thinking about the prospect of Jiang Yuning going undercover.


    She still couldnt ept the full reality of the situation.


    On the other hand, Jiang Yuning had a good appetite. He hadnt eaten in days, and he swiftly wiped out all of the vegetables on the table.


    Dont just eat vegetables. Have some meat too. Nian Xi sounded sorrowful as she ced food on his te. You may not even get to eat over there.


    Jiang Yuning swallowed his food and said, Xixi, Im not going to prison, you know.


    Id rather have you go to prison! Nian Xi grimaced.


    All she had to do was to wait for him toe out of prison. On the contrary, she did not know if he would even be able toe back from this mission.


    Jiang Yuning did not utter a single word.


    Do you know what you have to do when youre undercover? Nian Xi asked suddenly. Its prettyplicated


    I dont think you should be teaching him tips, Nian Junting interrupted her. His appearance and disposition is his best disguise. He looks like an innocent, gullible person without any malicious intentions.


    Nian Xi just wanted to ignore him now, and she did not even want to look him in the eye. Nian Junting was snubbed by his sister at the dinner table.


    After dinner, Jiang Yuning pulled Nian Xi along for a walk outside. He treasured the time they had left with each other, probably because he was going to leave her soon.


    Nian Junting waited by the windowsill and watched the two of them from inside the house. He sighed deeply. Why do I feel like Im pushing someone so pure and innocent into dangerous territories? Luoluo, do you think Im being too cruel? What if something really happens to Jiang Yuning? Nian Xi may not forgive me, her own brother, for the rest of my life.


    Luosang patted his shoulders gently. I dont know, but I know that if it was you, you would go immediately. Even if Ill dread that and be unwilling to give you away, Ill probably give you my quiet support. I know youll be doing something for the greater good, so I think Nian Xi does understand the implications. Shes just saying these things, but Im sure shes proud of Jiang Yuning deep down.


    Nian Junting looked at her with affection as he held her hands.


    Meanwhile, in the yard


    Nian Xi was looking up at the moon above them with an extremely heavy heart.


    Yuning, Ive been a cop for so many years. When I was in the police academy, I had a friend who was transferred to be an undercover agent. Later he never returned.


    A sharp pang of pain suddenly hit her chest.


    Jiang Yuning scratched his head. But you werent afraid to be a cop because of that, right?


    Nian Xi stayed silent. Of course, being a cop was dangerous, but it was also a heroic job that she was proud of. She was part of something bigger, upholding safety and justice.


    Your brothers right, Im not as weak as you imagine me to be. Jiang Yuning clutched his trousers tightly. When I was 12, I went to Vietnam with my father for work. However, hisboratory went up in an explosion, and I was ying in the building when the explosion happened. I was buried beneath all that rubble and debris for ten days before I was rescued. Thankfully, I survived that incident.


    Nian Xi was shocked. She had never heard about this ident before.


    Jiang Yuning squatted down beside her, with his arms hugging his knees. It was all dark, and I didnt even know how much time had passed. I was stuck in a small space, and I was terrified. I kept crying and crying for someone toe and save me, but no one knew that I was right there beneath the rubble. A lot of the aunties and uncles from theboratory who knew me had died in the explosion as well. Moreover, my dad was unconscious, and my mother was in New Zend on a stargazing trip. It was impossible to reach anyone. I was thirsty and hungry. I could only drink my blood and urine

 Chapter 1523. Return Alive

    Chapter 1523. Return Alive


    Back during the drills in the Police Academy, Nian Xi had trouble when she was locked up in an airtight carriage for only four hours. As a result, she could hardly imagine how Jiang Yuning had managed to make it through those ten days.


    Probably because the memory of that period was too painful, Jiang Yunings hands trembled as he held onto Nian Xis. I passed out from hunger every single time. Whenever I woke up, I could only see the pitch-ck surroundings, and I felt like I would rather die. But when I mulled over it seriously, I realized that I couldnt bear to die. On the seventh day, many of the rescue teams left, and they only found me on the tenth day. I could only hear the numerous sounds around me at that time, as the light had stung my eyes and I could barely open them. When I woke up, my father was beside me. He said that he had only regained consciousness two days ago, and the moment he woke up, he immediately asked the rescue team to look for me again. My mother only knew that something had happened to me on the 20th day, Jiang Yuning recounted.


    Nian Xis lips quivered in anger as she said, Your parents are too much


    They should never have neglected their son even if it was for the sake of work. This was especially so for Jiang Yunings mother, who had been uncontactable for so many days.


    I dont me them. Theyve been immersed in their research ever since I was a child, Jiang Yuning said softly. When I was a child, I also yearned for theirpany, and I acted like a spoiled kid in front of them. Later on, I gradually grew up and realized that they also had their sense of purpose in life. But I was afraid. At that time, I wondered why nobody could remember me. I thought that perhaps a person like me was destined to be forgotten by others. I didnt want to talk or interact with others. I didnt want to


    Say no more, Nian Xi interrupted him. She could not bear to listen anymore, and she pulled him towards her before hugging and burying her face in his waist.


    At that moment, she wished that she could have known him earlier so that she could bring more warmth into his life.


    See, Xixi? I could even make it through ten days and ten nights, so Im not that weak, Jiang Yuning continued as he looked down at her and bent over to caress the back of her head. Although I had no responsibilities to bear back then when I was buried underground, I couldnt bear to die. Now that I have to be responsible for you, I cant bear to bring you with me.


    I get it, Nian Xi replied as she shut her eyes heavily and nodded her head. Go ahead then, but I have one condition. You have to return alive.


    It was alright even if he returned as a disabled person. She was willing to take care of him for the rest of his life.


    The next day, early at 6:30 a.m., Nian Xi opened her eyes and saw that Jiang Yuning was still huddled in bed. He probably hadnt rested well for the past two days, as he was fast asleep. Even in his sleep, his hands tightly held onto hers.


    She gave him a light peck on the forehead before quietly pulling her hand away. After she tucked him in, she silently slipped out through the door.


    She usually slept in, but she could barely fall asleepst night.


    Nian Xi closed her eyes, her thoughts running wild inside her mind.


    Sister Lan had also just gotten out of bed, and when she realized that Nian Xi was already awake so early in the morning, she immediately went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.


    At 7:20 a.m., Nian Junting, who was dressed in sportswear, went downstairs with a carton of milk in his hands. When he saw Nian Xi supporting herself against the sofa as she slowly attempted to walk, his brows knitted into a tight frown. What are you doing? The doctor said that you need to wait for at least another week, he said.


    I want to recover quickly so that I can return to work, Nian Xi replied as she looked up. There was a deep look in her pitch-ck eyes, and it was hard to read her emotions.


    Nian Junting was momentarily stunned. He felt slightly unfamiliar with the woman standing before him. It was as if something inside of her had changed overnight.


    Ive made up my mind, Nian Xi continued. I want to recover quickly and join Interpol. If I cant go with him, at least I can work hard and support him whenever he needs it.


    Nian Junting was so astonished that he remained speechless for a long time.

 Chapter 1524. You Should...Take Care

    Chapter 1524. You Should...Take Care


    Its not that easy to join Interpol, Nian Junting said. He only managed to recover from his shock after a very long time. Youre already far from being an average police woman. Youre hardly there in terms of acuity and dexterity


    I know, but I can learn, Nian Xi said with determination. I can take it no matter how much I suffer or how tiring it is!


    Nian Junting fell silent.


    He was not sure if he had made the right decision this time.


    As a brother, he merely wanted his sister to be happy, but he realized how hard it was to do that now.


    By now, everyone was aware that Nian Xi was about to get married. Furthermore, many people had seen Jiang Yuning during the Lunar New Year, and thus, many of their rtives and friends had anticipated Nian Xis wedding banquet.


    However, her boyfriend had left her again, and the wedding was canceled once more. Taking into ount the previous incident with Feng Ji Chuan, it was the second time that such a thing happened to Nian Xi. She would undoubtedly be the target of gossip and would suffer a significant blow.


    Especially for Feng Ji Chuans parents, they would certainly gloat over her misfortune. Yet, perhaps all these no longer mattered to Nian Xi.


    For the next few days, Jiang Yuning did not spend much time with Nian Xi, as there were some basic skills that he needed to learn before he could be an undercover. It was especially crucial to learn several codes and how to contact the outside world.


    Nian Xi did not idle around either, and she instructed Fang Qi to look into the TOX organization.


    Surprised. Fang Qi asked, Since when are you so interested in TOX?


    Of course Im interested! Nian Xi replied as she lightly patted her injured legs. Didnt you say before that Zeng Hai, who had shot and injured me, was poisoned to death by TOX? Thats why I want to find out more about them!


    Fang Qi replied helplessly, Im not so sure about this. This information is ssified, and now, it seems that Feng Ji Chuan is in charge of Zeng Hais case. During our department meeting the day before yesterday, it was said that he has been tasked by the upper management to arrest members of the TOX organization. He has caught around five to six of them in Xia City.


    Why him of all people? Nian Xi asked in surprise. Interpol must have changed their strategy to better ensure her safety after Jiang Yuning had decided to be an undercover. However, Nian Xi did not expect Interpol to entrust such an important case to Feng Ji Chuan. It seemed that he was indeed highly regarded.


    Thats because he has worked in the special forces and interacted with these international criminals before. Hes experienced, Fang Qi replied. I think you should ask him personally since you guys are acquainted after all


    Got it. Thanks.


    Nian Xi hung up the call and, after a moment of hesitation, proceeded to call Feng Ji Chuan.


    Xixi Feng Ji Chuans uncertain tone could be heard after ten seconds.


    Yes, its me, Nian Xi spoke with honesty through gritted teeth.


    After Feng Ji Chuan listened to what she had to say, he remained silent for a long time.


    Forget it if you dont want to reply, Nian Xi muttered. The information was ssified, and Nian Xi knew that she was putting him on a spot.


    I can only tell you that TOX is a very terrifying organization. Five years ago, they created a new type of virus and unleashed it in a small town in Ang, which had a poption of 50,000 people. That town is a ghost town now, Feng Ji Chuan exined in a low voice. Nian Xi, Zeng Hais attempt to kill you was probably not a coincidence. It was intentional, and their goal is to capture Jiang Yuning. But dont worry, Ive fully found all of the members of the TOX organization stationed in Xia City. However, you shouldnt leave Xia City for the time being. You should also tell Jiang Yuning to


    Thank you, Nian Xi said earnestly.


    You should take care. Feng Ji Chuan sounded as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself at thest second.


    It was spring in April. The grass had grown tall, while the orioles had emerged out of their nests. Jiang Yuning would soon fly to Rome to discuss thetest radio signal received from outer space with a group of scientists from the Astronomical Center.

 Chapter 1525. For Tonights Candlelight Dinner

    Chapter 1525. For Tonight''s Candlelight Dinner


    By then, with the exception of running, Nian Xi could already walk normally.


    There was only a week left before Jiang Yunings departure, and Nian Xi would drag Jiang Yuning along to shop or hang out whenever she had time. Sometimes, she would even bring him to the zoo and amusement park.


    She felt that Jiang Yuning had a lonely childhood, so she wanted to keep himpany to make up for that.


    By the time the couple came out of the movie theatre in the evening, it was already 5:30 p.m.


    However, neither of them wanted to return home, and they merely wished that time would slow down.


    Nian Xi clung onto Jiang Yunings arm as they slowly made their way through street after street. Eventually, they became exhausted, and Nian Xi pointed at a vending machine as they walked past it.


    Jiang Yuning took one nce at it, and his handsome face flushed uncontrobly under the sunsets glow. With his head lowered, he grabbed hold of Nian Xi and walked ahead.


    It was not yet night time, and Nian Xi was too audacious to make such a suggestion in broad daylight.


    Nian Xi did not budge, and instead, she grabbed hold of him and began to y the coquette as she said, Come on.


    Xixi, stop fooling around, alright? Jiang Yuning turned back and looked at her with a helpless and frustrated look in his eyes.


    How am I fooling around? Nian Xi asked as she stomped her foot in annoyance. Youll be gone for three years! Are we going to keep up with this and only have sex when you return after three years? You can endure it, but I may not be able to. No guarantees that I wont look for other men if the loneliness is unbearable


    I wont allow you to! Jiang Yuning said as he quickly cupped her mouth. There was an anxious look in his eyes.


    Nian Xi blinked her eyes before she forcefully pulled his hands away from her mouth and said, No guarantees! Ill be 30 years old by the time you return. Do you expect me to remain a virgin at the age of 30?


    Dont force me, Xixi, Jiang Yuning answered. A look of deep pain and conflict shed across his eyes as he whispered, I cant promise you.


    If he could not make it back, at least she would still be a virgin and still preserve her best for her future husband.


    Baffled, Nian Xi stared at him for a moment before saying, Jiang Yuning, can you not be so conservative? You want me to wait for you, and yet you wont even touch me!


    Jiang Yuning looked down guiltily and remained silent.


    The handsome young couple stood in front of the vending machine for a long time, and many people turned back to take a second nce at them.


    Eventually, Nian Xi stuck her hands into her pockets and walked away.


    Jiang Yuning immediately followed after her, tugging the edge of her clothes gently and timidly like a child as he walked.


    Eventually, Nian Xi went straight into a convenience store and bought three bottles of red wine.


    Why did you buy so much alcohol? Jiang Yuning asked in astonishment. Its not good to drink so much red wine.


    Its none of your business! Nian Xi replied crossly as she red at him.


    Feeling aggrieved, Jiang Yuning pursed his dainty lips and replied mncholically, I wont dare to meddle in your affairs. Even if I want to do so in the future, Ill be too far away.


    Nian Xis heart ached when she heard what he said. I bought the wine for tonights candlelight dinner, she replied


    I see Jiang Yuning murmured, his eyes instantly brightened up. Tonight would be a special night for the two of them. But my alcohol toleranceis pretty low.


    Having a low tolerance for alcohol is not an excuse to not drink, Nian Xi said seriously. It wouldnt be called a candlelight dinner if there was no red wine and alcohol. It would just be a normal meal, and it wouldnt be romantic or beautiful. Youre already a rather unromantic person, to begin with. Cant you amodate me now that youre leaving soon?


    Am I seriously that unromantic? Jiang Yuning asked dejectedly. I didnt know that. Ive never had candlelight dinners with other girls before. Im scared that Ill do something bad when Im drunk, he said.


    Nian Xis eyes gleamed. She was anticipating him to get drunk and do something wild.


    But of course, she could not say that out loud.

 Chapter 1526. Xixi, Youre Too Close to Feng Ji Chuan

    Chapter 1526. Xixi, You''re Too Close to Feng Ji Chuan


    Nian Xi appeared serious as she said, Its not that easy to get drunk. Its exaggerated in TV shows and novels. Usually, youll still bepletely conscious after you drink. If youre still reluctant to do so, Ill just drink alone to entertain myself.


    After Nian Xi said this, sheughed at herself self-deprecatingly, causing Jiang Yuning to feel slightly guilty when he heard her. He was afraid that Nian Xi would be displeased with him. Furthermore, he would be gone for such a long time, and he was worried that if he did not agree to have a candlelight dinner with her, she might slowly lose interest in him.


    Xixi


    Lets just go home.


    Immediately after that, Nian Xi held onto the red wine bottle and strode forward.


    Jiang Yuning watched her silhouette shrink for a while, before quickly chasing after her and grabbing hold of her hand. She allowed him to hold onto her, but she did not let him entwine his fingers with hers.


    Once they reached Nian Xis apartment, Jiang Yuning immediately went into the kitchen, intending to please her by whipping up a lot of delicious dishes this night. He wanted her to think that none of the men out there could everpare to him.


    He prepared many delicious dishes for their dinner, such as chicken feet, duck meat, and curry chicken.


    After neatlyying them out across the table and lighting up the candles, he walked back into the living room to call Nian Xi over.


    Meanwhile, Nian Xi waszily reclining on the sofa with a remote control in one hand and her phone in the other. On her phone, she said, Ji Chuan, I cant thank you enough. Ill treat everyone to a meal once I end my shift the day after tomorrow. What should we eat? How about western food? Great


    Before she couldplete her sentence, a shadow loomed over her, and she saw Jiang Yuning, donned in a checkered, sky-blue apron. He stood beside her with his eyes wide open as he red at her. His lips were pursed and downturned, while his brows were knitted into a tight frown. He had an anxious and unhappy look on his face and was even breathing heavily.


    Whats the matter? Nian Xi feigned ignorance and asked.


    Jiang Yuning did not utter a word.


    To think that she could ask him what was wrong! How could she contact Feng Ji Chuan in private, thank him, and even offer to treat him to western food?


    She was the one who had previously said that eating western food was a romantic thing to do.


    Mm, it smells good! Dinners ready! Lets eat, Nian Xi said as she stood up right away.


    However, just as she took a step forward, Jiang Yuning suddenly grabbed hold of her hand. There was a stubborn and childish look in his eyes as he said, I wont allow you to have western food with Feng Ji Chuan.


    Im not eating with him alone, Nian Xi said as she blinked her eyes. Fang Qi and Zhan Hong are going too.


    No, Jiang Yuning said as he shook his head obstinately. I object!


    Alright, Nian Xi said while nodding her head. Well, can we have steamboat then? If not, then Sichuan cuisine or Cantonese cuisine or Hunan cuisine


    Stunned for a moment, Jiang Yuning replied anxiously, Its not a matter of what cuisine you eat. Its because I dont like the idea of you eating with Feng Ji Chuan.


    Cut it out! Were colleagues, and its not as if Im having an affair, Nian Xi replied as she walked over to the dining table to retrieve a tallboy, before pouring herself a ss of wine.


    Jiang Yuning was momentarily shocked. She had asked him to drink with her, and yet she was drinking alone now.


    Xixi, Im jealous Jiang Yuning said honestly and gloomily. Youre being too close to Feng Ji Chuan.


    Yuning, can you stop it? Nian Xi chided. She then took a sip of the red wine and ced the wine ss down before she continued, Theres no passion and intimacy when were together. Forget about the fact that theres no steak and that youve prepared a table of normal home-cooked food for our candlelight dinner instead. You wont even drink red wine. Can you be a little more romantic?


    Jiang Yuning was stupefied. He could not understand why Nian Xi suddenly became so furious on theirst night together.


    Did she regret her choice and was she reluctant to wait for him? Did she want to get back together with Feng Ji Chuan?


    I-I didnt say that Im not d-drinking, he stuttered.

 Chapter 1527. Drunk

    Chapter 1527. Drunk


    Say no more, Nian Xi interrupted him and continued to eat and drink without looking up. After taking two sips of wine, she began to look down at her phone.


    Jiang Yuning had no idea what she was looking at, but she was smiling like a fool.


    He began to feel terrible, as though there were thousands of ants crawling around in his heart.


    To attract Nian Xis attention, he grabbed the wine ss in front of her and filled it up, before saying, See, Xixi? Im drinking as well!


    Stop drinking! Its pointless. You make it seem as if Im forcing you to drink, Nian Xi replied as she casually picked up some vegetables with her chopstick. Perhaps its our way of life. Candlelight dinners arent our thing.


    Afterward, she blew out the candles and continued, Dont waste the candles.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned, and his limbs were all tingling in panic.


    He gazed at her fixedly for quite some time, before eventually standing up to light up the candles again.


    Nian Xi looked up and watched him for some time, with a faraway look in her eyes. Just then, she sighed and lifted her ss of red wine before saying, Here, bottoms up.


    Okay, Jiang Yuning. After taking a deep breath, he gulped his wine down and finished it at one go.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Why did you finish it all at once? she asked.


    You said bottoms up, Jiang Yuning replied dazedly. So that means Ill have to finish the drink.


    Nian Xi waspletely speechless.


    Wrinkles formed on Nian Xis forehead. Its just a pleasantry! You dont need to finish everything! she said.


    Why didnt you say so before? Jiang Yuning replied as his fair face subconsciously turned red. The red wine tastes terrible, he remarked.


    The more you drink, the better it tastes, Nian Xi replied, shing him a gentle, beautiful smile. Yuning, youre truly gant. Its the first time that Ive seen this side of you.


    Jiang Yunings eyes gleamed, and he nodded his head furiously as he said, Actually, I dont think Ill lose out to Feng Ji Chuan at all!


    Afterward, he filled up his ss again and continued, Here, Xixi. Cheers.


    Soon, there was barely any red wine left.


    Nian Xi had yet to finish even a ss of red wine. She noticed that Jiang Yunings face was alreadypletely red, and he seemed to be quite drunk as he sat across from her. He truly had a low alcohol tolerance, and even though he merely drank a minute amount of red wine, he was already quite drunk. Right now, his eyes could barely open, and he was starting to open up another bottle of red wine in his drunken state.


    Nian Xi ced her chopsticks down and walked over to ce her hands down on his back gently. Stop drinking. Youre drunk, she whispered.


    Im not drunk. Not drunk, Jiang Yuning said, shaking his head from side to side like a rattle drum. Im known for being able to hold my liquor well.


    Nian Xi almost burst outughing. She bent down and said, There, there. Ill help you lie down on the bed.


    Jiang Yunings ears quivered as though it had been tickled, and his breathing slowed down as he looked back at her. He felt as if he could see three Nian Xis in front of him, and they were all swaying continuously. Xixi, why are there so many of you? he asked.


    Nian Xi erupted intoughter, and she helped him to get up.


    However, as Nian Xis leg had yet to recover fully, and because Jiang Yuning was leaning against her, they could only walk very slowly.


    Meanwhile, Jiang-jiang circled them and barked.


    Nian Xi gently kicked him aside without any hesitation and said, Move aside. Dont bother your owner.


    However, instead of moving aside obediently, Jiang-jiang began to prance around even more happily, as if it was waiting for them to put up a good show.


    Of course, Nian Xi would not give him that satisfaction. The moment she entered the room, she immediately locked the door and ignored Jiang-jiang as he scratched away at the door violently.


    Nian Xi felt an indescribable emotion, and she pulled Jiang Yunings nkets away without further ado. He was kneeling on his bed, with his hands curled in front of his chest. He blinked with his dazed-looking eyes and mumbled, Im a little mole.

 Chapter 1528. Im Not a Female Mole, Im a Demoness from the Cave of the Silken Web

    Chapter 1528. I''m Not a Female Mole, I''m a Demoness from the Cave of the Silken Web


    Nian Xi fell silent. She waspletely dumbfounded.


    She had seen all sorts of drunken fits before, but it was her first time seeing someone pretend to be a mole.


    However, he looked extremely adorable, and it made her want to press him down on the bed to bully him.


    Jiang Yuning then lowered his head and retreated into the nket while squirming. He wed the bed furiously with his hands while also sinking his teeth into the nket.


    Youre not a mole. Youre Jiang Yuning! Nian Xi said as she pulled him up.


    No, Im a little mole, Jiang Yuning repeated. There was a look of obstinance on his crimson-red face. Even if a mole is buried underground, it can still crawl out. Little moles are the best.


    Nian Xi instantly understood everything.


    Although many years had passed, the explosion and burial that urred back then had left a lingering trauma in his heart.


    He wanted to transform into a mole because a mole could crawl out. That was probably what he felt back then.


    Nobody came to save him. As a result, he would rather turn into an animal.


    Nian Xi suddenly felt a terrible, stifling sensation in her heart. She reached her hand out to hug him tightly from behind, before speaking hoarsely, Yes, youre a little mole. Youre the little mole that I love the most.


    Jiang Yuning stopped chewing on the nket when he heard what she said, and he shed her a silly grin before saying, Youre a female mole.


    A smile instantly formed on Nian Xis face as she heard him. No, Im not a female mole, she joked. Im a demoness from the Cave of the Silken Web, and Im going to eat you!


    She bared her teeth and iled her ten fingers threateningly.


    Jiang Yuning jumped back in fear and immediately got onto all fours, hopping around on the bed to flee. I dont want to be eaten by a demoness! I belong to Xixi! he eximed.


    Nian Xiughed until the sides of her stomach ached when she realized that he could remember her although he was thinking of himself as a mole.


    She then lunged towards him. Without going easy on him, she rode onto his back and said, There, there. Im Xixi! Lie down quickly.


    No, youre a demoness! Jiang Yuning spoke as he shook his butt violently in an attempt to shake her off.


    Nian Xi grabbed hold of him to stop him. She thenid her head on his chest, before taking his hand to ce it on her cheeks. In a seductive voice, she said, Take a good look. Does a demoness look this pretty? Have you ever seen such an alluring demoness?


    Obviously, Jiang Yuning could not see her face clearly. As she was sitting on top of him, it made him feel unbearably hot and ufortable, and he inevitably began to breathe more heavily.


    Do you feel hot? If you do, Ill remove your clothes for you, Nian Xi continued, and she deftly took off his apron and zer.


    At the same time, Jiang Yuning continued to wriggle his body without stopping.


    By hook or by crook, Nian Xi handcuffed him again like what she had done previously.


    It was awkward the first time she tried it, but it was undoubtedly easier for her this time.


    Previously, it was her first attempt, and because she was inexperienced and ignorant, she hurt Jiang Yuning and herself.


    After they began to sleep together, they constantly explored each other and thus, they were long familiar with each other and aware of the other persons sensitive spots.


    Nian Xi executed her attacks step by step, and it did not take long before Jiang Yuningid down his arms to surrender as he groaned in bed.


    See? You shouldve known better than to be disobedient and make me resort to using the handcuffs on you so that I can make a move on you. Serves you right! Nian Xi said as she stuck her arms akimbo. She stared down at the man below her, whose beauty was unrivaled, and she spoke in an exceptionally helpless voice, I dont even know what to say about you. Why do you have to make a dignified and virtuousdy like me force myself on you like a virago?


    You cant me me for having my way with you. I simply cant keep my cool and let you leave like that. Besides, you dont understand how I can only feel secure when Im truly in possession of you. Who knows if youll meet any evil and vicious femme fatales after you leave me!


    Nian Xi let out a long, faint sigh, before summoning all her courage and kissing him furiously.

 Chapter 1529. Am I Dreaming?

    Chapter 1529. Am I Dreaming?


    The previous painful experience was engraved in Nian Xis heart. Subsequently, however, she would get intimate with Jiang Yuning whenever they had the chance, and she had gained some experience as a result. Besides, she had been making a lot of preparations for thistely.


    She felt that there would unlikely be any problems.


    However, she had overlooked that painful sensation. Although she had some experience, it was still painful, and it felt as though she was being torn apart alive.


    She clenched her teeth tightly and told herself that it was alright. She had even experienced a gunshot before, and this was a far cry from that.


    Jiang Yuning writhed his body restlessly, his face flushed red.


    He no longer imed to be a mole, and he blinked his jet-ck eyes. There was a deep look in his glistening eyes as he nced at her.


    He swallowed hard and asked, Xixi, what are we doing now? Am I dreaming?


    Nian Xi forced herself to hold back her tears as she gritted her teeth and replied gently, Yes, youre dreaming. Im in your dreams.


    Jiang Yunings breaths quickened when he heard what she said. He wanted to sit upright, but one of his hands was handcuffed, which made him anxious and shy. Xixi, why am I having wet dreams again?


    Nian Xi fellpletely silent.


    Again?


    Nian Xi could not be bothered about the pain anymore, and she asked with keen interest, Say, how many times have you had such dreams?


    I Im not so sure either, Jiang Yuning replied with a me of passion burning in his eyes, which were no longer as pure and ck as they were before. But this feels so realistic.


    Yes. Sometimes, our dreams feel like reality, Nian Xi said as she scratched her head andid herself down on his chest daintily. Her jet-ck hair was sprawled out across his chest, which tickled him. Since this is a dream, lets not waste such a beautiful moment, alright? she asked.


    She bewitched him as she began to remove the handcuff that restrained him.


    Jiang Yuning instantly changed from passive to aggressive, and he lunged towards her and flipped her down beneath him.


    Nian Xi began to feel a strong, painful sensation, which drove her to scratch and w Jiang Yunings body.


    Thankfully, he slowly entered the right frame of mind towards the end, and they finally began to feel something.


    It was a different feeling from what they had experienced in the past when they were together.


    Back then, what they had tasted was like grounded meat. This time, they could finally devour all of the meat and have an actual taste of it.


    She embraced him tightly, as though she was clinging onto the only piece of driftwood in the sea.


    At that very moment, all her anxiety and reluctance to part with him instantly evolved into a sense of security.


    She understood his worries and concerns, but she was different from him. She could only live without regrets if she had possessed something before.


    She did not want to regret things in the future, and she also wanted to leave a deep impression in his heart.


    She wanted him to know that he had to make it back alive because a woman would be waiting for his return.


    However, after getting drunk, Jiang Yuning was no longer so gentle and tender towards her.


    Jiang Yuning was woken up by his headache during the morning. His throat burned, and the hangover felt very ufortable.


    Furthermore, his body ached terribly, as though he had justpleted a marathon.


    He opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first thing he saw was a vintage chandelier.


    It looked familiar. It was Nian Xis home.


    He turned and found Nian Xis tiny head leaning against his shoulder. Her hair was unkempt, while her lips were slightly bloated. In his eyes, she seemed even more charming than before.


    Under the nkets, he could feel one of her hands on his chest.


    Jiang Yunings body burned terribly in the face of such a seductive scene so early in the morning. However, he quickly realized that something was wrong. When he saw Nian Xis naked arm that was marred with dense marks and exposed outside of the nket, his heart skipped a beat.


    Did something happenst night?

 Chapter 1530. Xixi... Last Night... Did We?

    Chapter 1530. Xixi... Last Night... Did We?


    A strong sense of helplessness seized his heart.


    Jiang Yuning lifted a corner of the nket and sneaked a peek beneath, before quickly covering it back.


    He trembled like a leaf rustling in the wind.


    Neither of them had their clothes on.


    Furthermore, his body ached, but it was a different sensation from what he had experienced when they hugged and kissed in the past.


    Could they have?


    He was dumbstruck, and his mind went nk with disbelief.


    What should he do if it had truly happened?


    How could he be responsible for Nian Xi?


    Meanwhile, Nian Xi stirred and woke up, probably because he was trembling too much.


    She felt as though her body had been run over by a car, and she was drained. She summoned all her strength to open her eyes, and she met his shocked gaze.


    Jiang Yuning began to stutter incoherently, Xixi Last night Did we?


    Nian Xi blinked for a while, before immediately wrapping the nket around herself. She too seemed shocked as she said, What did we dost night? Ouch, it hurts. My legs are aching. What happened?


    After she said this, she massaged her temples, visibly tired and haggard.


    Jiang Yuning scratched his messy, short hair and wondered if he had been the one who made the move out of a drunken stupor and that she was not the one who forced herself on him.


    He tried his best to recall what happenedst night but no matter how much he mulled over it, he could only remember snippets of how he rode her like a horse. It was extremely embarrassing that he had been so rough with Nian Xi.


    Jiang Yuning, you seriously have a low alcohol tolerance, Nian Xiined, and she suddenly broke down in tears.


    Im sorry, Jiang Yuning muttered helplessly. I dont remember what happened after I drank a few sses of winest night


    What do you mean? Are you trying to shirk off responsibility? Nian Xi asked angrily. I was a pure, unmarrieddy and a virgin!


    No, absolutely not. Ill take responsibility for this! Jiang Yuning spoke as his face changed from being pale to red. Initially, he thought that Nian Xi could still remarry if he did not survive. However, now that she had lost her virginity to him, he certainly could not die. He had to return alive and take responsibility for her.


    Its good that youll take responsibility. Forget it, Im your girlfriend anyway, Nian Xi replied as she let out a faint sigh andid in bed listlessly. But I just lost my first time so randomly like that. I dont even have any impression of it. Ouch, it hurts so much! Why do my legs ache so badly? I didnt know you were such a beast!


    Her words made Jiang Yuning feel too abashed to show his face.


    Yes, how could he have been so beastly?


    He could not wrap his mind around it either. Xixi, let me give you a massage, he said.


    Sure, Nian Xi answered, and she flipped over so that Jiang Yuning could massage her under the nket. Xixi, does it still hurt badly? Jiang Yuning asked.


    Nian Xi snorted and replied, My other leg hurts too.


    Jiang Yuning immediately switched over to massage her other leg.


    Move further up, Nian Xi ordered. Her eyes were shut, and she seemed to enjoy what he was doing.


    Jiang Yuning froze, and he felt as though he was put on the spot. If he moved further up, it would be


    Whats wrong? Nian Xi asked as she opened one eye and shot him a bitter look.


    Jiang Yuning quickly lowered his head and continued. However, an odd feeling gradually rippled through the air.


    Nian Xi could hear his breaths turn rough. When she opened her eyes once more, she noticed that his delicate cheeks were flushed, and there was a burning expression in his eyes that even he did not notice.


    Nian Xi watched him for some time and spaced out. However, after a while, she abruptly grabbed hold of his hand and pulled him down forcefully.


    Xixi Jiang Yuning crashed down on her, and his face turned red from feeling flustered.


    Do you want it? Nian Xi asked in a soft, gentle voice as she ced her lips against his.


    Jiang Yuning swallowed helplessly and replied, Xixi, I


    What time is it now? Nian Xi cut him off and asked.

 Chapter 1531. As If Doomsday Was Coming

    Chapter 1531. As If Doomsday Was Coming


    Jiang Yuning looked at the clock on top of her bed, and it showed 7:30 a.m.


    He had a ne to catch at 1:00 p.m, and he had to leave by 10:00 a.mtest. This meant that they only had several more hours left.


    When would they be able to meet again next time? Would they even be able to meet after this?


    Just then, his heart began to ache terribly, and he inevitably tightened his grip on Nian Xis hand.


    Simrly, Nian Xi was also in a deep, somber mood. She desperately wished that this very moment could drag on longer.


    Lets do it again she murmured. It already happenedst night anyway. It doesnt make much of a difference whether it happens once, twice, or thrice, she said.


    Jiang Yunings eyes darkened. But but Im scared that itll be painful for you and that you wont be able to take it, he replied dryly. You even said that you were exhausted just now


    I think you can be gentler, Nian Xi suggested as she hooked her arms around his neck and watched him with glistening eyes, which looked strangely alluring.


    Jiang Yunings mind buzzed. Finally, he could no longer hold himself back, and he lowered his head to seal her lips with a deep kiss.


    Nian Xi hugged him back with all her might.


    Both of them seemed eager to do it again, probably because they were about to part their ways soon.


    Although Jiang Yuning could not remember the specific details from the night before, such a thing was always easier during ones second attempt. His male instincts quickly told him what to do.


    He only had a hazy recollection of how it feltst night. Now, however, he could feel everything clearly.


    Turbulent emotions poured out of his heart ceaselessly, and it was as if every single cell in his blood was boiling. It transformed him into another person  a wild, passionate, and impatient man.


    Xixi Xixi Although he repeated her name over and over again, it never seemed to suffice.


    They hugged and explored each others bodies as if doomsday wasing. They only stopped when they werepletely exhausted, feeling as if they truly belonged to each other.


    The phone on the floor had rung for quite a few times.


    Having lost count of the number of times that it rang, Jiang Yuning finally picked up the phone to answer the call as his legs trembled.


    Sir, you finally answered your phone. Do you know what time it is now? Xu Gangs voice could be heard from the phone. Its 9:40 a.m. I wouldve thought that you had cold feet in thest minute if you continued not to pick up the phone.


    I didnt Jiang Yuning murmured. His heart sank when he realized howte it already was. Indeed, time flew quickly. To him, it felt as if he had only spent a short amount of time with her.


    Come down quickly then. Im waiting at the foot of Miss Nians apartment. Your luggages already packed in the trunk, Xu Gang urged.


    Okay, Jiang Yuning replied.


    Jiang Yuning seemed distracted as he ced his phone down. When he turned around, he noticed that Nian Xi had already slipped her clothes back on silently without him realizing. Xixi, you should rest, he said.


    He knew how rough he had been just now. Although he had said that he would only do it once, he ended up doing it over and over again.


    As it was her first timest night, it would be normal if she could not take it.


    As a result, he felt very guilty.


    Ill send you to the airport, Nian Xi said as she watched him calmly.


    Its alright. You must be exhausted, Jiang Yuning replied. Even though he wanted to spend more time with Nian Xi badly, his heart ached for her when he saw how tired she was.


    Oh, please! Im a cop. Ive experienced even more tiring things than this. Besides, even though Im exhausted right now, I can rest well for the next few years since you wont be able toe back anyway, Nian Xi exined. While this was what she said, her legs began to tremble from the terrible ache as she made her way towards the bathroom. However, she forced herself to hold it in. She could not p herself on the face by proving herself wrong right after she spoke to Jian Yuning.


    Although Jiang Yuning usually appeared to be gentle and refined, he looked quite strong just now.


    Perhaps he simply did not put his strength to good use in the past.


    Jiang Yuning watched her silhouette longingly.


    In the past, he did not cherish mornings like these, and now, he did not know when he would be able to see such a scene again in the future.


    He could not help but hurry over to Nian Xi to give her a strong hug from the back.


    After burying his face into the nape of her neck, he whispered, Xixi, I love you.

 Chapter 1532. I Love You. Ill Wait for You.

    Chapter 1532. I Love You. I''ll Wait for You.


    Those were three simple words, yet Nian Xi froze when she heard them.


    She turned around and met his strongly passionate eyes. She stared at him for a while in an attempt to imprint his face in her mind, so that time would not wear off their feelings for each other. Ill wait for you, she said.


    I love you.


    Ill wait for you.


    Jiang Yuning thought that Ill wait for you actually sounded much better than I love you.


    The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom, and when Jiang Yuning searched on the floor for his clothes, he suddenly stumbled upon a handcuff, which had slipped off from the clothes.


    He picked it up in confusion and felt puzzled about why there would be a handcuff here when Nian Xi usually kept such items in the drawer.


    He inspected it for some time, and he suddenly noticed a red bruise around his wrists that was not very uniform. He then recalled that Nian Xi had also used a handcuff to restrain him when they were in his house previously, which in turn left a simr bruise.


    Why did such a mark appear again? Could it be thatst night?


    Right at that moment, Nian Xi had finished washing up, and she came out of the bathroom. Jiang Yuning walked over to her with the handcuff in his hands and gazed at her suspiciously. Xixi, honestly speaking, did you restrain me with the handcuffst night? he asked. I even have a bruise on my hand!


    He had an usatory expression on his face as he showed his wrist to Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi swept a nce at it, before calmly raising her eyebrows and replying, You mean this? The cheek of you to ask!


    Really? Jiang Yuning was slightly doubtful.


    Why? Do you think Im lying to you? Nian Xi asked with her arms crossed, giving off an overbearing aura. Let me tell you this. You better not deny what youve done! I dare you to swear to God


    Jiang Yuning was instantly rendered speechless. His fair face flushed red with embarrassment, and he no longer suspected her. With his head lowered, he stared at his feet and wished that he could dig a hole and crawl into it.


    Nian Xi immediately chortled and said, Do you know what youre doing? Youre trying to push the me to other people after taking advantage of the situation!


    I was wrong, Xixi. I shouldnt have doubted you, Jiang Yuning apologized obediently. Im a despicable and sanctimonious hypocrite.


    Um Youre not exactly a sanctimonious hypocrite. We all have our inner beasts after all, Nian Xi said as she waved her hands. I wont take it to heart, but dont ever doubt me like that again in the future! Ive always been a straightforward person, she said.


    Got it! Jiang Yuning replied, still ashamed to show his face


    So, he did unleash his inner beastly selfst night.


    How shameless!


    At 10:00 a.m, after some dawdling, Jiang Yuning went into the elevator with Nian Xi when all of a sudden, his body trembled violently. F*ck! he cursed.


    Whats wrong? Nian Xi asked in shock and subconsciously leaned closer towards the walls of the elevator. Is there something wrong with the elevator again?


    Jiang Yuning seemed deathly pale as he said, No, I


    I thought it was something serious, Nian Xi muttered as she rolled her eyes. No way can that happen so easily!


    You cant be certain! Jiang Yuning replied with a serious expression on his face. Youre healthy, and I dont usually smoke or drink, so I dont have any health issues either. Maybe its easier for such a thing to happen to us.

 Chapter 1533. Xixi, Could You Wait Until Im Back Before You Become Pregnant?

    Chapter 1533. Xixi, Could You Wait Until I''m Back Before You Be Pregnant?


    Nian Xi only managed to react to the situation after staying silent for quite some time. She then shot him a cold look and asked, Did you just say that Im brawny?


    Jiang Yuning blinked, and when he pondered about it again, he quickly realized how inappropriate it was to use such a term to describe a girl. He quickly said, I meant to say that youre very healthy


    Nian Xi snorted coldly and replied, Being healthy and being brawny mean two different things. Are you intentionally trying to anger me, now that youre leaving?


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and pouted, as it was merely a slip of his tongue. Dont be upset. You know that Im not good with words. I just want to say that youre much healthier and taller than the average woman. I really like how you are anyway


    Yeah, right! Nian Xi said as she rolled her eyes at him. It was true that he was bad with words, because the more he spoke, the angrier she felt.


    Lets get some birth control pillster, Jiang Yuning suggested after mustering up his courage. Xixi, could you wait until Im back before you be pregnant?


    Dont worry, I dont intend to get pregnant and raise the kid all by myself while I await your return. Im not that noble or inspirational, Nian Xi muttered with a sigh. Ill get it on my ownter. Do you want everyone to know what weve donest night?


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head when he heard what she said. However, he inevitably felt slightly disappointed, as it did sound like a good idea to return home to discover that he had fathered a child.


    He could not help but caress Nian Xis stomach and say, Im sorry, baby. Daddy cant have you.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    He made it sound as if she was already pregnant.


    Meanwhile, Xu Gang and Uncle Han were both at the car park.


    With a cold expression on his face, Uncle Han ignored Jiang Yuning. It seemed like he was still angry about Jiang Yunings decision to be an undercover.


    After Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi entered the car, Uncle Han then said reluctantly and longingly, Sir, ever since youve graduated, youve never left me and headed off alone for such a long time. Im genuinely quite worried. Why dont you reconsider this?


    Uncle Han, dont persuade me anymore. Thank you for taking care of me all this time, Jiang Yuning said softly. Could I trouble you to take good care of my parents after I leave? After all, theyre still unaware of this. You certainly cant tell them about it, because I need the TOX organization to believe that Ive sincerely pledged my allegiance to them.


    Theyll certainly feel terrible if they know, Uncle Han replied with a bitter smile.


    After a moment of silence, Jiang Yuning said, I believe they wont feel so terrible if they immerse themselves in theirb work.


    Uncle Han sighed and replied, Dont think of it that way. Youre their only child, and your parents have been extremely angry towards themselves over the incident that happened back then.


    Ive never med them, Jiang Yuning said as he shook his head. He could also empathize with his parents after falling in love with Astronomy and Physics.


    Jiang Yuning held onto Nian Xis hand tightly throughout the journey.


    Xu Gang said, Based on the information that weve obtained, it seems that quite a few people from the TOX organization have infiltrated Italy. I suppose that they intend to kidnap you directly after their men in Xia City were arrested. The number of refugees in Italy is growing, and it is the best ce to start. After you leave with them, Im sure theyll solicit you based on your current capabilities. To outsiders, you might as well appear to be a friendless and autistic mad scientist whose only wish is to stay in theboratory. Through this, they wouldnt be too suspicious of you even if you work for them.


    Jiang Yuning nodded his head.


    After youve infiltrated them, you shouldnt make any move for the time being and neither should you contact us. Wait for a year or two and earn their trust, said Xu Gang. After a pause, he continued, You can research on a few projects for them when you have to so that theyll know your value. This is inevitable since you have to earn their trust.

 Chapter 1534. Its Too Embarrassing for a Member of the Nian Family to Cry in Public

    Chapter 1534. It''s Too Embarrassing for a Member of the Nian Family to Cry in Public


    After parking the car, Xu Gang and Uncle Han went to retrieve the luggage from the back seat out of consideration for the couple.


    Xixi, you should take good care of yourself, Jiang Yuning said with concern as he nced sideways at her.


    There would be other people present once they reached the airportter.


    However, when he turned to face her, he saw tears in Nian Xis eyes.


    He was slightly stunned.


    Nian Xi was actually crying.


    His heart ached badly, and he desperately wished that she would never cry over him if it was possible.


    Xixi, Ill make it back I promise Ill make it back, he said as he caressed the back of her head to console her. He then said softly with resolve, When Im back, Ill marry you. You should also be careful when youre out on assignments in the future. Dont be too rash.


    Alright, I promise. Well both stay alive until the next time we meet, Nian Xi replied as she extended her little pinky out and forced herself to hold back the tears in her eyes.


    Alright, Jiang Yuning said as he made a pinky promise with her. Ill never leave you again when I return. Ill clean up the house, cook, and do theundry for you for the rest of my life.


    You better remember your words! Ill hunt you down to the end of the world and castrate you if I ever find out that youve let me down! Nian Xi warned viciously.


    Jiang Yuning chuckled when he heard this.


    Just then, Xu Gang knocked on the car window from the outside. It was time. The couple then got out of the car.


    Jiang Yuning repeatedly turned back to look and wave at Nian Xi as she watched him enter the airport.


    When the tall and slender Jiang Yuning passed through the security checks, he turned around again and mouthed to Nian Xi. Although he was too far away, and she could not hear his voice, Nian Xi knew that he was telling her that he would miss her.


    He would be gone for years, and they would not be able to contact, message, or WeChat each other.


    Unable to restrain herself any further, Nian Xi squatted down on the floor and bawled loudly.


    The people nearby looked at her, but nobody found her behavior odd, as the airport was a ce where people would either send others off or pick others up. It was far toomon to see people cry.


    After Nian Xi cried for a very long time, she heard Nian Juntings voice from above her head. Go and cry in the car if you want to. Its too embarrassing for a member of the Nian Family to cry in public, he said.


    Are you even consoling her? Luosang chided him, before speaking to Nian Xi gently, Xixi, lets go home.


    I dont want to go home, Nian Xi mumbled as she rubbed her face with the back of her hand and looked up at them with her bloodshot eyes. Lets grab some drinks and get wasted!


    Luosang was speechless.


    Nian Junting immediately turned her down and said, No way! You know what youre like when youre drunk!


    I know, but I want to drink right now! Nian Xi yelled at him as she stood up. Cant people from blissful families like you empathize with singles like me?


    Nian Junting arched his eyebrows high when he heard her shout at him.


    Alright, its just a round of drinks. Lets go! Luosang replied quickly. Well get a room and drink to our hearts content.


    In the karaoke club at 11:00 p.m, they sted Sandy Lams I Heard That Love Had Returned on the huge screen as Nian Xi stood on top of the coffee table with a microphone in her hands, screaming along to the song Ten Years. Meanwhile, Luosang stood on the other coffee table and sang to the tune of So You Actually Dont Want Anything at All.


    Nian Junting sat alone in the corner, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he watched the two women act on a drunken fit. He felt thankful to have tagged along, as he was sure that both of them would be too drunk to know how to return home if he had left them to their own devices.


    He could understand why Nian Xi was upset, but he could not wrap his head around why Luosang would hug the microphone and cry as though her heart had just been broken.

 Chapter 1535. Did You Do Something to Let Luosang Down?

    Chapter 1535. Did You Do Something to Let Luosang Down?


    In the karaoke club at 11:00 p.m., they sted Sandy Lams I Heard That Love Had Returned on the huge screen as Nian Xi stood on top of the coffee table with a microphone in her hands, screaming along to the song Ten Years. Meanwhile, Luosang stood on the other coffee table and sang to the tune of So You Actually Dont Want Anything at All.


    Nian Junting sat alone in the corner, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he watched the two women act on a drunken fit. He felt thankful to have tagged along, as he was sure that both of them would be too drunk to know how to return home if he had left them to their own devices.


    He could understand why Nian Xi was upset, but he could not wrap his head around why Luosang would hug the microphone and cry as though her heart had just been broken.


    Nian Juntings temples twitched for quite some time. Eventually, he could not hold himself back anymore and yanked Luosang off from the coffee table. He then gritted his teeth and spoke into her ear, You better make yourself clear. Whos the person who doesnt want anything at all?


    Luosang, who was already heavily drunk, blinked her eyes and looked at him for a long time. What did you say? she asked.


    Nian Junting roared and replied, Im asking who youre singing this song for!


    Luosang cocked her head and dug her ear nkly, before saying, Can you speak louder? I cant hear you


    Nian Junting was speechless.


    His throat had be hoarse from yelling, and yet she said that she could not hear him.


    Feeling depressed, he lifted a ss of water and took a sip before letting go of Luosang. Carry on with your singing, he said.


    Luosang then turned around and jumped back onto the table to sing.


    Nian Junting sat alone for some time. As his head was aching from all the noise that they were making, he walked over to the door to have a moment of quietness. He then decided to find someone to back him up, as he felt that he would not be able to deal with these two crazy women all by himself, no matter how capable he was.


    However, he was reluctant to allow others to touch the two women.


    After pondering about it for a long time, he eventually called Mo Liuxi.


    By the time Mo Liuxi arrived, it was already midnight. When he saw the disheveled state of the two women and how they were acting on a drunken fit, he frowned.


    He walked towards Nian Junting and asked coldly, Did you do something to let Luosang down?


    I did not Nian Junting replied, incredulous.


    Then why is she singing Im Not The One You Want? Cant you hear how sad she sounds when shes singing? Shes even crying! Why would she cry if you didnt let her down? Mo Liuxi asked, his ck eyes incandescent with fury.


    Nian Junting silently cursed a thousand times in his heart, and he felt that it might have been better if he had simply carried them back on his own. Your sister even sang the song Breakup Happily when she got drunk back then. She has the habit of singing breakup songs when shes drunk. You can ask her tomorrow morning if you dont believe me. If you seriously insist on pressing on with this, I too want to ask her who shes thinking of when shes drunk, Nian Junting exined.


    Mo Liuxi watched him silently for a moment, and when he realized Nian Junting did not seem like he was lying, he then turned around to grab hold of Nian Xi. So you want me to carry her? he asked.


    You can carry your sister. Nian Xi just fell out of love. What if she falls for you? Nian Junting replied after some thought.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    He could ignore Nian Juntings narcissism, but Nian Junting made it sound as though all of his family members were perfect.


    Youre thinking too much. Susus much gentler and softer, and I like women like that. Girls who are too masculine arent my type.


    Nian Junting chuckled and said, Fine. Next time, Ill tell Yan Su that you like women who are gentle and soft. Its usually very easy for women to steal a man with such inclinations away from his lover. Its easy for a hypocritical prude to pretend to be gentle and soft after all!


    Hearing his words, Mo Liuxi waspletely taken aback.


    Mo Liuxis chest heaved in anger, and he wondered if Nian Junting was intentionally pitting against him tonight. Ill leave you to handle these two women on your own if you continue to harp on like that, he warned.


    Nian Juntings lips curled up into a smile, and he turned around to drag Nian Xi off from the coffee table.

 Chapter 1536. Jiang Yuning, I Cant Bear to Let You Go

    Chapter 1536. Jiang Yuning, I Can''t Bear to Let You Go


    Mo Liuxi drove the car during their journey back home. All of a sudden, Nian Xi began to hug Luosang and cry in her drunken fit. Jiang Yuning, I cant bear to let you go! I cant! she sobbed.


    Luosang was stunned and shocked. You shouldnt act like that. Im a married woman, Luosang said as she trembled.


    Nian Junting sneered coldly, amazed that she could actually remember that she was married.


    Mo Liuxi took one nce at the backseat through the rear mirror of the car, with aplicated look in his eyes. She had a breakup? he asked.


    Yes, Nian Junting replied calmly as he nodded his head. Ultimately, it was best for Jiang Yunings mission as an undercover to be known by as few people as possible. Nian Xi would likely be subjected to the judgment of others for the subsequent period.


    Mo Liuxi was puzzled. How can that be? They seemed to hit off so well previously, and they even sent a WeChat message to announce that he had proposed to her. I thought that theyd be getting married at the end of the year, he said.


    Nian Junting sighed softly and replied, Its hard to exin matters of the heart. Its not impossible to break up at the door right when youre about to enter the wedding chapel, so you should also watch out in case Yan Su suddenly ditches you.


    Unable to put up with him anymore, Mo Liuxi said, Youre bent on pitting against me tonight, arent you?


    You think too much, Nian Junting said calmly. Im merely talking about amon and factual observation in the present-day society.


    Mo Liuxi fell silent as he pondered about it.


    Forget it; he did not want to argue with Nian Junting anymore. After all, he was certain that he would get married this year, and if things failed to work out, he would directly kidnap Yan Su home.


    Halfway through their journey, Nian Junting suddenly felt Luosangs cell phone vibrate. When he tapped on it, he realized that it was a WeChat message from Jiang Yuning, which read, Sister-inw, could you help me remind Nian Xi to take the birth control pills? Im slightly worried that she wont eat it.


    Mo Liuxi could suddenly sense a chilling atmosphere in the car. He trembled before ncing at the man who was seated in the passengers seat.


    Bastard! Nian Junting blurted as he clenched his teeth and kept the cellphone.


    That punk simply had to devour Nian Xi before he left.


    Did he think that he could do as he pleased because he was leaving to work as an undercover?


    Nian Junting had a good mind to give Jiang Yuning a good thrashing when he returned three yearster.


    Baffled, Mo Liuxi asked, Who are you referring to?


    Jiang Yuning, Nian Junting answered.


    Mo Liuxi went silent. Every time a couple broke up, one party would certainly be the jerk, and it seemed like it was Jiang Yuning in this case.


    Could you stop for a moment when we pass by the pharmacyter? I need to get some flu medicine. My throat doesnt feel very well, Nian Junting spoke in a cold, low voice.


    You dont sound like it. I think you look pretty well. You even look like youre well enough to hunt a tiger in the mountains, Mo Liuxi teased.


    Nian Junting was speechless.


    He could not seem to engage his brother-inw in a proper conversation at all.


    When Nian Xi woke up the next morning, she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.


    She felt exceptionally terrible after sobering up. In the previous day, she was still rolling around in bed with Jiang Yuning, and it felt like they would be so blissful for the rest of their lives. However, in the blink of an eye, she was all by herself now.


    Nian Xi flipped over and thought that the bed felt huge and empty. It felt too lonesome.


    She dawdled until 10:00 a.m. before she went downstairs. Luosangs hair was unkempt, and she was having her breakfast, while Little Apple was quietly seated and ying with his toy blocks.


    Xixi, youre awake. Here, have some breakfast! Luosang said as she waved at Nian Xi. I just woke up as well. My head hurts so bad


    Nian Xi sat down, but after she took two bites, she did not have the appetite to eat anymore.


    After Luosang ate for a while, she suddenly recalled what Nian Junting had instructed her to do this morning. She quickly whipped out a box of medicine from her pocket and passed it to Nian Xi. Your brother wants you to eat this, she said.


    When Nian Xi saw the name of the medicine written on the box, she began to cough furiously. At that moment, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she could no longer remain calm.

 Chapter 1537. So You Did It Again

    Chapter 1537. So You Did It Again


    Jiang Yuning texted mest night to get me to remind you to take the pills. But I was drunk yesterday, and your brother read it instead. So he bought this for you, Luosang exined with a grin. She could guess what Nian Xi was puzzled about. I genuinely had no idea about it.


    Nian Xi lowered her head and lifted her bowl of porridge, before gulping down one big mouthful of it. Half a minuteter, her face felt less hot. She then looked up and said, If I dont savor a good taste of him, who knows if hell hook up with some other woman behind my back for the subsequent three years? Im his first girlfriend after all, so its bound to leave a deep impression on him. This will also serve as some sort of control over him.


    So youve done it again, Luosang said unreservedly. Although she heard Nian Junting rant about Jiang Yuning early in the morning, she did not believe that Jiang Yuning was the one who started it.


    Youre right. I got him drunk, Nian Xi saidzily.


    Luosang felt like she had to take her hat off to Nian Xi.


    She envied her as well. If a woman was to live her life like Nian Xi, at least she would not have any regrets.


    But was it worth it? Luosang asked. She felt that what Nian Xi had done was too much, and she was speechless.


    At the same time, she felt like she had been very pretentious and artificial in the past.


    Luosang then sighed and said, No matter what, this is for your own good. Its also an act of responsibility towards the child. Its not so easy to raise a kid. Besides


    She seemed like she had something else to say, but she stopped herself at thest second.


    However, Nian Xipleted her sentence for her and said, Besides, he may not necessarily make it back alive.


    Im sorry, Nian Xi, Luosang said apologetically. She also wished dearly for Jiang Yuning to return home alive. However, working as an undercover was an extremely dangerous matter, to begin with.


    I get it. Dont worry, I dont intend to get pregnant. I must also try my best since hes fighting hard in the tigers den. When the timees, I hope that I can personally destroy the TOX organization, and pick him up instead of fetching him from the airport with our child. Thatll be too tacky, Nian Xi said. She then took the birth control pills and swallowed them.


    Luosang heaved a sigh of relief, thankful for the fact that Nian Xi was quite different from the average girl.


    Nian Xi left after breakfast. Although Luosang asked her to stay over for some time, Nian Xi turned her down with the reason that she had to get ready to head to work the next day.


    She only received news of Jiang Yunings disappearance in Italy after four days.


    However, this was a confidential case, and the upper management had requested to withhold it from the public. Nheless, the news still spread internally within the police department.


    After Nian Xi came to know of this, she hid at home again for a week until the Director summoned her to the office. When he saw how much weight she had lost, he looked grave and sympathetic. Nian Xi, seeing the state that youre in, Id advise you to use your annual leave. After all, the Bureau has already approved your three months worth of medical leave previously, he said.


    Im fine, Nian Xi replied. She then clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes began to redden. To get others to believe her, she had to appear to be sufficiently grievous. I need to pull myself together soon. I have to put the mastermind behind bars!


    Thats Interpols role, the Director said with a frown. You just have to do your job well. Ill have to terminate you temporarily if you insist on investigating the TOX organization. Based on your current abilities, thats not something that you can step into. Jiang Yuning is a citizen of China, and hes also our countrys scientist, so the police will certainly locate him and ount for his safety.


    Thanks, Director, Nian Xi replied as tears inevitably flowed down her cheeks.


    The Director let out a deep sigh before he said, Here, wipe your face with some tissue. Jiang Yunings parents have already gone over to Italy. Someone will pack up his things on his behalf. You should look ahead in life.

 Chapter 1538. Her Boyfriend Went Missing and She Seems MuChapter Uglier Now

    Chapter 1538. Her Boyfriend Went Missing and She Seems MuChapter Uglier Now


    Nian Xi looked distracted when she came out of the office in the police station.


    The colleagues who brushed past her gave her looks of sympathy.


    Many of her friends had seen the news of Jiang Yunings proposal to her on WeChat. Everyone thought that she would be getting married this year, and yet such a thing had happened.


    After walking alone for some time, she suddenly saw a silhouette dart across her. Feng Ji Chuan stood in front of her, and there was a look of concern in his jet ck eyes. Xiao Xi, are you alright? he asked.


    Nian Xi looked up at him absentmindedly, before shing him a wry smile and saying, Who can remain alright when such a thing happens?


    Feng Ji Chuan frowned when he saw Nian Xis current state. He felt terrible, and he even regretted his decision back then. If he could be more considerate towards her and be more thoughtful towards their affairs, they might have been married with kids. She would never have met Jiang Yuning and have her heart broken again.


    However, it was useless to dwell over what one could have done, because most of the time, it was hard to turn back.


    Xiao Xi, Im sure the police will find him, Feng Ji Chuan consoled her. They merely want to make use of him, so they wont kill him.


    A puzzled look appeared in Nian Xis eyes.


    Feng Ji Chuan then exined to her, Previously, I was in charge of TOXs case when I was in Xia City, so I do have some understanding of it. If the police cant find Jiang Yuning, Ill personally help you track him down after I join Interpol.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Interpol? she asked.


    Yes. Based on my past performance and my decent management of the TOX case, they extended an olive branch to me, Feng Ji Chuan continued. But I still have to train for some time. I was initially hesitant because my original n was to stay in Xia City and work my way up. But Jiang Yunings case made me rethink my ns.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    She was confused for a moment, before she stuttered and asked, Hey Could you take me with you as well? I also want to search for Yuning personally.


    After a moment of hesitation, Feng Ji Chuan gave her an honest reply. Xixi, you need to be meticulous and good at fighting. You also need to have a record of outstanding performance and to have cracked big cases before. However, you dont have any of these. Besides, Im not the leader of Interpol, so how can I take you with me? You have to make it in through your own abilities.


    Nian Xi instantly felt a great sense of defeat.


    She felt that people like Feng Ji Chuan entered the police force solely to hit her down.


    People like him could easily enter Interpol without much effort. In contrast, she had to work herself to the bone when she decided to enter Interpol back then.


    Xixi, dont let your imagination run wild. Everyone desperately wants to save Jiang Yuning. You cant rescue him simply through joining Interpol. Nobody can guarantee that we can save him. Ill try my best to help you. Although youre not my girlfriend anymore, youre still like a sister to me, Feng Ji Chuan said with a wry smile.


    If they could not be a couple, he could at least be a good brother who would watch over her like what he used to do when they were kids.


    Nian Xi was stunned for a moment, and she felt slightly touched. Thank you, she said.


    Subsequently, Nian Xi would flip through cases in the office every day. Although she wanted to participate in actual operations, her leg had yet to recover fully.


    However, gossip began to spread like wildfire in the police station. It seemed like there would be gossip about women everywhere, especially where people gathered.


    That day, there was a meeting at the police station.


    Nian Xi and Cheng Jing arrived early, and upon arrival, they could hear some female colleagues from the Supervision Department whisper in hushed tones ahead of them.


    Have you seen Nian Xitely? Man, Im not sure if its because her boyfriend has gone missing, but she looks much uglier now.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    What the f*ck were these people talking about?

 Chapter 1539. Im His Fiancée, so Im His Family.

    Chapter 1539. I''m His Fianc��e, so I''m His Family.


    It was true that recently, she did not bother to dress up because she was feeling down. She wore the police uniform all the time, which did appear to be slightly sloppy and slovenly.


    However, people like her, who were naturally endowed with good looks, would still stand out in the crowd even if they were asionally sloppy with their dressing.


    Cheng Jing heard the gossip as well, and she frowned. Just when she was about to give them a good scolding, Nian Xi stopped her at thest second. She wanted to hear more of what they had to say.


    The female colleagues obviously did not notice that they were behind them, as they continued with their lively discussion. After all, Nian Xi came from a well-off family, and she had even managed to find a handsome boyfriend like Jiang Yuning, who was the cream of the crop. Thus, people were quite jealous of her in the past.


    This was human nature. We would inevitably gloat when misfortune befell upon others who were previously better off than us.


    Oh, you mean her? Yes, she doesnt look as pretty as before. After all, Nian Xi isnt young anymore, said a female colleague.


    Yeah. Shes already so old, and yet shes still unmarried. Now that shes dumped by her boyfriend, who knows when shell be able to marry? So what if shees from a rich family? She cant get married, another colleague added.


    Thats true. I guess its also good to be average like us. But in my opinion, I feel that you cant be too picky even if youre rich. Feng Ji Chuan is so handsome, and I heard that he dated Nian Xi for seven to eight years. They had ns to get married, and they had even sent out their wedding invitations. But all of a sudden, she decided not to marry him. While Feng Ji Chuan has said that they broke up because he failed to cherish her, he was such a nice person. Hes also handsome and capable, and he came from a decent family. I think shes the pretentious one, a colleague remarked.


    Yes. But do you guys think that maybe shes destined to remain single? Both her previous and current rtionships ended like this. I heard that she jinxes her spouse! another colleague said.


    No way! a colleague eximed.


    Why would Professor Jiang disappear out of the blue then? I heard that the situation looks grim for him, another colleague remarked.


    Nian Xi and Cheng Jing were speechless.


    These gossip mongers seriously have nothing better to do! Cheng Jing bellowed. Unable to put up with them any longer, she charged over and mmed her palms on the table. Youre the jinx! Were all in the police force, and yet all of you can still be so superstitious. Why dont you go be a fortune teller instead?


    When the female colleagues saw Cheng Jing and Nian Xi, they jumped in fright and turned to flee.


    However, Nian Xi grabbed hold of two of them and pressed them down on the chair. She then pointed at one of them and said, I know you. You came herest year. Youre Tan Qianqian, arent you? You liked Feng Ji Chuan, but he never liked you. Because of that, you bore a grudge against me and would badmouth about me when you have nothing better to do. I didnt hold it against you in the past since I was in a good mood. But now, a scientist who contributed to our country is missing. Instead of thinking about the case, you dished the dirt on his family and maliciously defamed them. Should I report you to the upper management?


    Tan Qianqian jumped in fright, but she then retorted indignantly, Since when did I defame Professor Jiangs family?


    Nian Xi sneered coldly and mmed the table, before replying with emphasis on every single word, Im his fiance, so Im his family. Do you have a problem with that?


    Tan Qianqian was badly shaken by her aura, and she could only blink her eyes in terror. She hadpletely forgotten about the fact that a fiance was not an immediate family member in the eyes ofw.


    Besides, you said that Im ugly, Nian Xi added with a chuckle. I still look better than you even if Im ugly. No matter how gorgeous youre dressed, its useless. I still look better than you even when Im dirty and disheveled. Why do you bother to apply makeup at all? No matter how beautiful your makeup is, it cant conceal those ws of yours, such as your puny eyes, your downturn mouth, and your t forehead!


    Nian Xi, youre too much! Sister Xie, who was slightly older among the girls, shouted.


    Shut the hell up. So what if I marry at an older age? Everyone in the police station knows that your husband is azy bum. Everyone knows that he keeps a mistress outside, and you can only put up with the humiliation. What rights do you have to criticize others? Nian Xi continued. Sister Xies face turned shockingly red, and she quickly turned around to leave.

 Chapter 1540. Sister Xi, Youre Tough

    Chapter 1540. Sister Xi, You''re Tough


    After she walked off for a few steps, she turned back and kicked her feet viciously on the table in front of everyone. All the girls instantly staggered backward in fright.


    Lastly, let me warn you all. Dont ever let me hear you say that things dont look too good for my man. You better not mess with me. Right now, my fianc is missing and I feel terrible, so Im not afraid to do crazy things. Its none of your business as to whether or not Ill end up as a spinster. Even if Im rotting away alone for the rest of my life, its my own business, Nian Xi said. With that, she walked over to the corner with dignity and found a spot to settle down.


    Even though there were many people in the meeting room, nobody dared to make a sound. Everyone nced at her furtively in fear, and even the older men did not dare to breathe out loud, out of fear that it would draw out the ire of Nian Xi, who had just lost her fianc.


    Cheng Jing sat down beside her and secretly gave her a thumbs up. Sister Xi, youre tough!


    Nian Xi took one nce at her without speaking.


    Cheng Jing quickly patted her on the shoulder gently and said, Dont be angry anymore. Those gossip mongers are just jealous of you. Things didnt go well in their own lives, so theyre unhappy. Thats why theyre very pleased when misfortune befalls upon others.


    I know. Im feeling downtely, but I suddenly feel less oppressed after venting it out, Nian Xi replied loudly. As expected, you need to find someone to be your punching bag when youre in a bad mood!


    The group of people seated in front of her was scared speechless when they heard what she said.


    Subsequently, for a long time, nobody in the police station dared to mention Jiang Yunings name in Nian Xis presence. There was no news about Jiang Yuning, and many people thought that it was likely that he had died. Probably because this came as a strong blow to Nian Xi, she began to practice her marksmanship in the shooting range or practice with a punching bag whenever she was free. A fine, unmarrieddy like her soon became quite tanned when summer only just began.


    On Murong Zes birthday, Nian Xi was invited over to his banquet, and when Yu Wen saw the state that she was in, she was heartbroken. Xixi, Yuning is a good man, and we all like him very much. But you have to be forward-looking. Youre still young, and you have a long life ahead. Dont wallow in self-pity over his disappearance, she said.


    Grandma, Im not wallowing in self-pity, Nian Xi replied softly as she stared at the ground.


    You are, Yu Wen rebutted as she held onto Nian Xis hands. Look at you. Youve trimmed off your hair, and your skin has be as tan as Louis Koo. Youve also lost weight and your hands are covered in thick calluses. They feel so rough now that they seem as if youve been chopping wood in the mountains every day


    Nian Xis lips twitched, and Luosang could not help but speak up, Its not as tan as Louis Koo! Youre being too dramatic.


    Close enough, Yu Wen said. Its only the start of summer. Will she be as tan as an African by the end of summer then?


    Ive been practicing my marksmanship and physicalbat skillstely, so Im less particr about my appearance as before, said Nian Xi calmly.


    Xixi, youre a distinguished descendant of our family, Murong Ze exined. Your mother wanted to raise you like a princess when she gave birth to you back then. It truly breaks our hearts to see you like this. Be a good girl and dont tire yourself out. Youre still young. When you gradually age, youll know that youll be able to put certain things behind you. Youll still want to marry someone.


    I know, Nian Xi said, and she felt her nose burn slightly. She then held up her chopsticks and continued, Lets dig in. Its rare for me to have a day off that I can use to spend with you guys. Im leaving if we continue to talk about this.


    Let her be, Grandma and Grandpa, Nian Junting consoled softly. Our family is filthy rich, and if she cant find a spouse in the end, we have enough money to support her wilful ways for the rest of her life.


    Yu Wen let out a long sigh.


    After the group came out from Feng Garden at 7:00 p.m., Nian Xi was the first to leave in her car. Luosangs heart went out to Nian Xi as she watched her leave. I suddenly think that Im pretty blessed when I see how Nian Xi is, she said.

 Chapter 1541. Why Are You Eating So Late, Come On

    Chapter 1541. Why Are You Eating So Late, Come On


    Yeah, thats right! So, shouldnt you be treating me a little better? Nian Junting touched her soft silky hair.


    When have I ever not treated you well? Luosang could not help but roll her eyes.


    Like how you would asionally give me a massage. You were exceptionally good at it when you were looking after me back then. Your technique with Little Junting


    Luosang looked at him coldly.


    Luoluo Nian Junting wrapped his arms around her waist. Think about other people, andpare your life to theirs. Am I wrong to say that?


    Luosang was silent. He was right. Except for Yan Su, she had not kept in touch with anyone else from their university, but she did have the most blissful life. I finally understand why Nian Xi didnt manage to catch the bouquet on our wedding day. Perhaps she does have to marryte, and Susu may even marry before she does. I hope Jiang Yuninges back earlier, and if not, I dont know how long Nian Xi will take to get over him.


    Hell be back. Nian Junting stroked her head. Yan Su caught the bouquet, and she may be getting married soon.


    How do you know that? Luosang looked at him suspiciously. Are you even close to her?


    Nian Junting did not know what to say for a moment. He cleared his throat and said, It was just a guess.


    Speaking of Susu, well be meeting again for the summer exams. Luosang rubbed her temples and continued, Were going to have exams again, and I havent finished reading my books. I have to go back and read my book now.


    Although she had graduated, and she was back in school very infrequently now, she was still studying for her masters degree. Yan Su was studying as well, and the two of them would only stop when they obtained their doctorate degrees.


    Nian Junting was stunned. Whats so difficult about the uing exams when you have photographic memory?


    You dont understand! Ever since I had a baby, I have to read some material twice before I can remember them, Luosang wasining.


    Nian Junting was speechless.


    It was the first time he felt that his woman was slightly annoying.


    I wonder how Susu is doing. She has to prepare for a tour and the exams all at the same time.


    Luosang decided to give her a call on the way home.


    When the call connected, Luosang could hear music ying in the background, Susu, what are you doing? How are exam preparationsing along?


    I still have an essay I havent written, Yan Su said with frustration. The summer tour in Xia City is starting soon, and Im just exhausted.


    Poor you Luosang could imagine how difficult it was to write a thesis. Remember to rest well and take breaks! Dont tire yourself out.


    Mm. Itll be better once I finish my thesis.


    Yan Su still had to rehearse her choreography, so they did not chat for long.


    In the dance studio, she only finished at 8 p.m.


    After she got in the car, she quickly tried to study a little bit while eating her dinner. Impressed and in awe of her determination, Jiaojiao snapped a photo of her and posted a motivational quote on social media.


    Soon, her post went viral.


    gone_with_the_wind said, My goddess is so perfect, and shes still trying to improve herself in school. Shes remarkable, and we must all work hard like her!


    Yansu_is_my_gal: Why are you eating sote? Come on.


    Jiaojiao remarked, You have so many fans now, but how can he still make it to the top tenments every time you update your status? Hes seriously obsessed with you.


    Yan Su smiled and looked at the screen. Although Mo Liuxi did not admit to it, they both knew that this ount belonged to him. Jiaojiao, will you stop distracting me? I need to finish revising this, and you always make it difficult to concentrate.

 Chapter 1542. I... Im Still Reading My Books..

    Chapter 1542. I... I''m Still Reading My Books..


    Jiaojiao sighed. If I want to be honest, youve already gotten your bachelors degree. For someone in the entertainment industry, you already have great credentials. Are you sure you want to obtain a masters or a doctorate? Its so tiring, and there are so many celebrities who get their degree through connections nowadays.


    Thats different. I want to earn my degree myself, and with my abilities! Ill only be confident of my achievements that way. Yan Su shook her head. Im learning music anyway, and the things that the professors teach are very helpful. I applied some of what Ive learned! Arent my new songs nice?


    Jiaojiao was at a loss of words, unable to rebut her.


    After about 20 minutes, the car drove into a small neighborhood, and Yan Su dived back into studying after taking a shower.


    After a while, just when her eyes were about to close from exhaustion, someone abruptly lifted her body.


    Before she could react, she was already on top of the study desk.


    Soon, she could only hear ragged breathing and sounds of urgent kisses.


    Yan Su became wide awake. She tried to push him away, but she did not seed. The mans kisses were urgent and passionate. He kissed her till her lips were sore and hot before he started kissing her nose, her eyes, her brows, and then back to her lips.


    In their brief exchange, her blood was gushing through her system with excitement, and the room was getting warm and sticky.


    In the blur of things, she could hear a clear voice. She opened her eyes and forcefully covered his hungry lips. The two of them locked eyes, and she asked, Werent you out of the city filming something?


    I just finished. Im back, Mo Liuxi said with a hoarse voice, I missed you so much.


    The young mans hormones were overwhelming, causing Yan Su to blush. I Im still reading my books


    Read themter, Im going crazy thinking about you! Mo Liuxi kissed her lips violently with purpose and need.


    Wait the windows are open


    Mo Liuxi mmed the light switch and turned off the lights. Only the warm glow of the moon streamed into the room. The two of them could only make out the rough silhouettes of each other and the bright reflections of their eyes.


    Yan Su thought that Mo Liuxis eyes were hungry like a wolf the whole time; a wolf that had been starved for a long time, and she was his prey.


    When they were done, Yan Su was exhausted and covered in sweat.


    Mo Liuxi helped her get dressed and turned on the lights again. When he saw her flushed cheeks and dewy skin, he desperately wanted to take her again in the bedroom. However, he knew that she was exhausted from all her practices and she was having her exams soon.


    Did you miss me? he asked while pressing against her lips.


    Yeah, I did, but now I want to read my textbooks. Yan Su pushed him away gently, and she turned to grab her textbook. However, she was embarrassed when she saw the book. Mo Liuxi, my book is all covered in water


    Hmm, its not mine! Mo Liuxi chuckled softly.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    He was truly shameless. She hit him on his chest and chided, I still have to use this book! How am I supposed to read it now?!


    Its fine, Ill just go blow dry it with a hairdryer or something. Mo Liuxi grinned and stood up.


    Yan Su wanted to hit him again. Thats not the issue here, alright? Its just so embarrassing!


    She dirtied the book doing it, and she would be too embarrassed to use the book in the future.


    It was like holding onto a piece of hot coal. Its all your fault! Why did we have to do it here?


    I couldnt press the brakes! Mo Liuxi grunted softly, took the book from her hands, and walked away.


    Yan Su watched him disappear through the door, and she suddenly realized that she should be the one drying the book. It was utterly embarrassing.

 Chapter 1543. My Poor Susu Baby

    Chapter 1543. My Poor Susu Baby


    After about ten minutes, Mo Liuxi was back with the book. When he ced it in her hands, it was still warm from the air from the hairdryer.


    He teased her cheekily, It was quite damp. I had to blow dry it for a long time.


    Yan Su did not know what to say.


    Mo Liuxi rubbed her pink cheeks and said, Alright, Ill leave you to study. Ill go make supper for you, my poor Susu baby.


    Yan Su was at a loss of what to say after that cheesy line. You just returned from another city. Arent you tired? You dont have to make supper for me.


    Im tired, but hungry too. You dont think all that plowing just now took up a lot of energy from me? Mo Liuxi grinned naughtily.


    Yan Su hit him with the book. Youre willing to be a cow, but I didnt say that I was okay with being the soil.


    Mo Liuxiughed and walked out of the room.


    Yan Su pondered about it, before deciding to continue working on her thesis. After that exchange, she was wide awake again and hard-pressed for time, and she must not waste her chance.


    At nearly midnight, Mo Liuxi carried two tes of bolognese pasta into the room.


    Yan Sus eyes lit up, the food looked delicious. Although she just had dinner not long ago, she already had room for more food in her stomach. She had a long day after all.


    Well make do with what we have. We only have pasta, Mo Liuxi was a little disgruntled when he said that. You have too little stuff in your fridge, so there wasnt much to work with.


    Yan Su blinked for a moment. I dont usually have supper. What ingredients am I supposed to have?


    Lobster or something. Its lobster season now, Mo Liuxi said nonchntly, Or chicken wings, cheese, bacon, pizza, salmon, fresh prawns


    Yan Su fell silent.


    That was a lot of requests.


    This is my lowest standard, Mo Liuxi grunted. If youre willing to move over to my ce, you can get a delicious table of supper every day.


    Thank you, but I think this pasta is great, Yan Su said while slurping on her noodles.


    Mo Liuxi remarked, Itll be great if theres a fruit pizza.


    You can call delivery.


    He shook his head. Its not as good as the one I make.


    Yan Su did not know what to say.


    When they were done, Mo Liuxi asked her to go to bed, but Yan Su refused. She was still nning to work on her thesis paper for another hour.


    Mo Liuxi thought about it for a while, before sitting next to her with a book.


    Yan Su looked over at him, who said, I have exams as well, and the tested subjects are much more than yours.


    However, Yan Su suddenly recalled that his family was full of academic whizzes, so she was not worried about him at all. She was different, and she had to work hard topensate for what she wascking gically.


    The two of them worked hard until about two in the morning.


    At 8 a.m., the rm rang and Yan Su struggled to wake up and get dressed.


    She had a lot of things lined up that day. Mo Liuxi moved in bed a little, before quickly getting up to make breakfast for her.


    They had noodles for breakfast, eggs, and milk too. Mo Liuxi smiled and said, Susu, you bought me over with a bowl of porridge at the beginning, but now I have to make you breakfast for the rest of our lives. Ive made a bad deal, havent I?


    Yan Su felt bad. Ill make you some porridge every day once my tour ends, alright?


    Alright Mo Liuxi answered her gently, Susu, Im thinking about getting Yan Yan over to stay here for a bit during the summer holidays since were both going to be in Xia City. I still think its important for a child to be apanied by their parents. Ive discussed this with your parents, and theyre fine with it.


    Yan Su was stunned, and she could only nod her head. She had thought about that for a while, but she just did not have the time to talk to her parents yet.

 Chapter 1544. Im Reaching Your School Soon

    Chapter 1544. I''m Reaching Your School Soon


    It waste in June.


    The gates of Xia City University werepletely blocked from fans from all over.


    Recently, there were a couple of child actors who enrolled in the university. Normally, there would be plenty of reporters around the vicinity, but since the school was having exams, Chi Shengxu and Yan Su wereing back for exams as well.


    There was a big group of entertainment reporters camping outside the school gates early in the morning. When Yan Su got out of the car, a group of them swarmed up to her and said, Susu, youre taking your masters exam today, right? Youve been busy preparing for your uing tour! How are exam preparationsing along? Are you confident?


    Im feeling alright, I think I can scrape a pass! Yan Su smiled and waved. I have to head in now. Goodbye!


    When she entered the school building, a group of juniors came up to her to ask for her signature. Luosang walked over after a long time. Yan senior, can you take a photo with me?


    Yan Su smiled and hugged her. Xu senior, you can even hug me!


    Wow, look at your dark eye circles! Youve been working hard recently, havent you? Luosang remarked after taking a proper look at Yan Su.


    Im alright! Ive just had to spend a lot of time on my thesis paper, Yan Su said.


    Luosang grabbed her hands and walked to the main building. We havent seen each other in so long! Lets grab lunch togetherter.


    Yan Su nodded her head in agreement.


    At around 11:40 a.m., Yan Su was still racking her brains to answer thest question, but Luosang was already standing in the corridors in a rxed manner.


    She sighed. She had always admired Luosang for her intelligence. She had photographic memory, but she could only be envious about her special ability.


    In the end, she was not able to finish thest question, and she walked out only when the bell rang. Sangsang, how did you finish the paper so quickly?


    It was just regurgitation and memory work. Its quite manageable for me. Luosang smiled and said, I thought that it was going to be very difficult, but when I did the practice questions, I realized that it was quite easy.


    Yan Su fell silent. She felt like she should not even have asked her that question. Served herself right.


    Of course, I think the music department has harder questions, Luosang quickly added when she saw that Yan Su had gone silent.


    Sangsang, I feel like youre beginning to resemble Mr. Nian more and more, Yan Su said casually.


    Really? I guess so Luosang rubbed her nose with embarrassment. Oh, right! What do you want to have? Shall we go to the grilled fish stall like we used to?


    Before she could finish, Yan Sus phone rang, and it was Jiang Peiying. She said over the phone, Are you done with your exams? Were waiting outside your school gate.


    Yan Su was shocked. Why are you?


    Liuxi wanted Yan Yan toe over to y, so I decided to send her over myself. Yan Jin said that he wanted to stay and watch your concert as well, and I thought that we would alle over together. We havent seen your new ce yet. Oh, right! We were also thinking of meeting Mo Liuxis parents this time. It has been about half a year, and its about time since you two are engaged now. Liuxi said that hell arrange everything once your tour ends.


    Yan Su waspletely taken aback, overwhelmed by all the new information.


    She wondered why she had no clue about whatever she had just said. Mo Liuxi did not update her either.


    How did youe to my school? Did someone give you a ride? she was asking if Mo Liuxi had given them a ride.


    Nope, I havent told him yet, Jiang Peiying answered. Hes having exams too in a couple of days, right? I didnt want to disturb him. Come on out, Im reaching your school soon.

 Chapter 1545. This Must Be Mo Liuxis Sister

    Chapter 1545. This Must Be Mo Liuxi''s Sister


    Yan Su rubbed her temples. There were so many reporters and fans at the school gate. Was she going to give them a scoop on her mother, her brother, and her own daughter?


    Come in through the gates then! Ill let the security guard know. Yan Su hung up after giving her mother more instructions.


    Luosang was puzzled. Whos here? Does this mean you dont have time to lunch with me?


    My mother and my brother


    My daughter too.


    Yan Su added thest part in her head.


    Oh Luosang nodded her head. You have a brother? Lets eat together then. Weve been friends for so long, and Ive never met your family before.


    Yan Su hesitated a little, before nodding her head. Forget it, they were all going to meet anyway, so she would just see how things go. It was not nice to reject Luosang after she suggested it anyway.


    The two of them walked to the gate, while Jiang Peiying was walking over with the two children. She was pushing Yan Yan in a pram, and Yan Jin was following beside the pram obediently. Yan Jin was even holding Yan Yans hand with one hand.


    The whole family was a lovely sight to behold. Everyone was looking their way.


    Sister, sister! Yan Jin shouted as he started running to Yan Su from a distance away.


    Yan Su bent over and carried Yan Jin quickly. She quickly regretted her decision, as the boy had put on weight again.


    Sister, Ive missed you! Yan Jin wrapped his arms around her neck, clinging onto her as he said sweetly.


    Me too! Yan Su kissed his cheeks with affection.


    Luosang was shocked. Susu, you have such a young brother?


    Yeah! Yan Su nodded her head, already used to this sort of reaction. Hes called Yan Jin. Jin, this is Sister Luosang.


    Hello, sister! Yan Jin was stunned when he saw her face, as he found her face extremely familiar-looking.


    Why are you so stunned? Luosangughed and reached her arms out. I can carry you! Your sister doesnt have a child, so she doesnt have the strength to carry you for too long.


    Yan Jin was stunned. So she was a friend who did not know that his sister had a kid.


    Its okay, sister! I wont trouble you, Yan Jin said politely. Thank you for being so kind to me and my sister.


    Susu, your brother is so polite, and hes a greater speaker! Luosang was struck by Yan Jins eloquence. She wished that Little Apple would be as intelligent as this boy in the future.


    Just as she was thinking about that, Jiang Peiying approached them. She saw the baby girl in the pink dress, and she looked like she was less than a year old. She had a pretty face, sharp features, big, watery eyes, and she was wearing an adorable pink sunhat. She looked exactly like a Barbie doll.


    Luosang was shocked, and she widened her eyes when she saw the baby in the pram. She whispered to Yan Su gently, Susu, your parents are amazing! They have you, and they still have the energy to have a little boy and little girl. Thats amazing how did they do it?


    Yan Su was speechless.


    Yan Jin blinked a little and looked at the sky.


    Susu, this is your ssmate? Jiang Peiying was sharp. From a distance away, she already found Luosang familiar, and she was staring hard at this young and pretty girl. After a while, she realized that she had an uncanny resemnce to Mo Liuxi.


    She pieced it together instantly. This must be Mo Liuxis sister, Susus good friend.


    Hello Auntie, Im Yan Sus good friend, Luosang! Luosang smiled and stroked Yan Yans face. Shes adorable! So pink and chubby. Can I carry her for a while?


    Ever since she had a baby, she had lost all defenses against other babies.

 Chapter 1546. I Would Like to Introduce My Daughter

    Chapter 1546. I Would Like to Introduce My Daughter


    Yan Yan did not speak. She simply reached her little hand out towards Yan Su while making incoherent sounds with her mouth, and no one knew what she was trying to say.


    Luosang knew she wanted Yan Su to carry her, but she could not restrain herself from carrying Yan Yan out anyway.


    Older Sister? Jiang Peiying raised her eyebrows.


    Luosang was baffled. Was she not the older sister? Was the girl perhaps a daughter of a rtive instead?


    Sangsang, wheres your car? Lets leave first, Yan Su suggested when she saw the crowd surrounding them grow.


    Alright.


    Luosang was driving the white Bentley that Nian Junting had given to her as a present on their first wedding anniversary.


    Nian Junting had originally intended to give her a limited edition Lamborghini sports car in bright red, which was rumored to cost ten million! However, Luosang found the car too shy and refused to ept it. Later, Nian Junting had no choice but to forgo the Lamborghini in favor of the white Bentley. ording to him, despite its unassuming exterior, this model was a special import, and there were only three such cars in the whole country. Thus, he had gotten it.


    Back then, Luosang had been convinced that his understanding of the word unassuming was wrong, but since it was the thought that mattered most, she epted the gift from her husband.


    After getting into the car, Yan Jin began crawling around the red leather seats. Wow, Older Sister! Your car looks so exotic! It looks so much better than that antique that my parents drive. Theres even a child car seat here! Older Sister, do you have a child?


    If you continue moving about, Ill throw you out of the car! Jiang Peiying warned.


    Yan Jin pouted, but heplied.


    Its fine. My son likes crawling around inside my car too, Luosang said with a smile. My son is over a year old. Both of you can y together in the future.


    Thats a great idea, especially since Ill be staying in Xia City till the end of the summer vacation! Yan Jin said as he did a little dance happily.


    Who agreed to that? Jiang Peiying retorted.


    I decided it on my own, Yan Jin pulled his neck between his shoulders as he replied guiltily.


    Jiang Peiying was speechless.


    Luosangughed till her tummy ached and she said to Yan Su, Your little brother is really interesting. Why arent you introducing them? This is


    She was now a little uncertain about how to address the cute little princess. After all, she still had no idea whether or not the little girl was Yan Sus little sister.


    Yan Su carried Jin Yan over, and after hesitating for a few moments, she forced a smile onto her face and said, Shes my daughter.


    Luosang was speechless.


    What?


    What? What?


    She was unable to react for a while, and after ten seconds of silence, she stopped the car by the side of the road and said solemnly, Thats a good one, Susu. But dont think for one moment that Im unaware that you dont have a boyfriend.


    Shes really my daughter, Yan Su said seriously. Cant you tell that we resemble each other a little bit?


    Luosang scrutinized her closely before shaking her head. Not at all, she replied.


    It was Yan Sus turn to be speechless.


    Even though they were not spitting images of each other, it was ridiculous to say they did not resemble each other, not even a little.


    Shes really my daughter. Shes called Yan Yan! Yan Su repeated. I lied to you when I told you that I went to the United States to study. I actually went home to have my baby.


    Luosang took several deep breaths and said, And you call yourself my friend? Susu, how could you not tell me something so important? Whose child is it? Does she belong to that bastard, Shi Xiang?


    No


    Susu, stop covering up for that bastard, Luosang said agitatedly as she held her hand. I just knew you couldnt let him go.


    Jiang Peiying smiled.


    That was exactly what everyone had thought in the past.


    However, she had no intention of saying anything at the moment. She had guessed that this person was Mo Liuxis older sister, and wanted to take the opportunity to find out a little more about what their family was like.

 Chapter 1547. Luosangs Eyes Almost Dropped Out of Their Sockets

    Chapter 1547. Luosang''s Eyes Almost Dropped Out of Their Sockets


    How a couple raised their children into adults was a good gauge to predict how easy it would be to get along with them.


    She had only one daughter. No matter how outstanding Mo Liuxi was, if his parents were not easy to get along with, she would never allow her daughter to marry into their family and suffer.


    Yan Su sighed helplessly. Just revealing the fact that she had a child was enough to shock her. If she now said that the father was her younger brother, there was no way Luosang was going to be able to drive properly. It really isnt him. Regarding my child, can you let me finish the concert before telling you all about it? Ill let you meet the childs father then, too.


    The childs father? Luosangs eyes almost dropped out of their sockets. Yan Su, when did you even get yourself a boyfriend? How did I not know about it? Are we even friends? Youd better not tell me that youre already married now!


    Well, that you dont have to worry about Yan Su was feeling slightly apologetic towards her.


    Your childs already so big, and you still havent gotten round to getting a marriage certificate? Luosang grew increasingly worried the more she listened. Just which bastard was it who got you pregnant before marriage? Auntie, have you met him before?


    Ive met him before. I just havent met his parents. I came this time so that the parents from both sides could meet each other, Jiang Peiying said with a wide smile.


    Thats more like it! Luosang nodded her head. I am most disgusted by irresponsible men. But you have to be careful, Auntie. Yan Su is too nave and gullible when ites to rtionships.


    However, she had a bad impression of Yan Sus boyfriend. The child was already over a year old, and they had not gotten married yet.


    If she had known about this from the start, she would have tried her best to stop it. There were too many scumbags on the streets these days. It wasmon for a man to get a woman pregnant and promise to marry her after she had borne his child, only to keep dying the marriage after that and eventually ending up with another woman altogether.


    She could not believe that Yan Su had made such a basic mistake.


    Judging from Yan Sus actions, however, she seemed to like the guy very much. As a result, she did not say much about him.


    However, she already equated that man to Shi Xiang deep down in her heart. After all, Shi Xiang was the most objectionable man Yan Su had ever dated.


    She genuinely disliked Shi Xiang; just the look on his face was enough to make her mad. However, for Susus sake, she had kept her opinions to herself.


    Dont worry. Ill be very careful. Jiang Peiying nced at Su Yan with a humorless smile.


    Yan Su felt ill at ease and quickly changed the topic. Sangsang, what will we be eating? Dont go too far. Lets just eat somewhere nearby. We still have to sit for our examster.


    Its your moms first time there. Of course well have to take her somewhere nice where the food is good! Luosang said firmly.


    She considered the fact that Jiang Peiying was from Jiangxi, and to cater to her taste buds, she chose a restaurant that specialized in Hunan cuisine. The quality of the food at both restaurants wasparable.


    At the dining table, Jiang Peiying was very satisfied with the food. After all, Xia City was known for its pungent and spicy foods. Luosang, youre so well-mannered and mature. Your parents must have brought you up very well!


    Halfway through the meal, Jiang Peiying began her investigations.


    Yan Sus chopstick quivered in her hand, while Luosangdled some soup into Yan Yans bowl, unaware of what was going on. Auntie, thats not true. Im not as mature as you think I am. I just got a little better after getting married. I guess everyone has a transition period.


    Fair enough. Jiang Peiying was not too satisfied with this answer; this was not what she wanted to hear. But Im sure your parents must have had something to do with it. Susu told me that your results since middle school were always very good. Even in university, you were still at the top of your ss. I, on the other hand, was a failure. I wanted Susu to take over our family business, but she ran off instead

 Chapter 1548. Sister, I Was Simply Blinded by Your Beauty

    Chapter 1548. Sister, I Was Simply Blinded by Your Beauty


    Mom, why are you rehashing these random stories again? Yan Su rubbed her eyebrows. Will you please just concentrate on your meal?


    Jiang Peiying rolled her eyes at her and beamed at Luosang. Its because I rarely get to meet Susus friends. Youre the first one Im meeting after she finished high school.


    I understand. Luosang nodded her head. Susu is a really good person. Shes one of my best friends. Back then when my family fell on hard times, when we were at our poorest and my father was unjustly imprisoned, no one wanted to be friends with me. Susu was the only one who sided with me. Ill always remember that Susu was with me throughout the hardest times in my life. I believe that a person doesnt need many friends; a sincere one is more than enough.


    Jiang Peiying nodded her head; she approved very much of Luosang. This was a girl with a strong sense of loyalty and was not a two-faced sort who would stab others in the back. Susu said that if it wasnt for your husband who rmended her to the musicpany, she wouldnt be where she is today.


    Its because he saw how much Susu has helped me, Luosang said with augh, slightly embarrassed. After all, Nian Junting did it solely to get back at Ye Chuen back then. But at the end of the day, Susu still has to rely on her own ability. A rmendation can only get you so far.


    Jiang Peiying fed a mouthful of rice to Yan Yan and asked in a deliberately casual way, Are you the only child in your family?


    I have a younger brother. Hes in the same school as us, but just a couple of years behind. Hes in the Directing department.


    Yan Jin, whose head had been buried in his food the entire time, suddenly realized something was amiss and looked up. Mom Ouch!


    Before he could say another word, Jiang Peiying stomped hard on his foot.


    Whats wrong, Jin? Luosang asked in concern.


    Nothing, Older Sister. I was simply blinded by your beauty, Yan Jin said with a resentful grimace.


    For a while, the entire room fell silent.


    Luosang was stunned for a moment before she burst outughing. Susu, your brother is cute and hrious! How I wish I could take him home with me to stay for a few days! That way, Little Apple will have somepany.


    Sure, Older Sister! Given how cute you look, Im sure my nephew must be very cute too. I love my little nephew the most! Yan Jin blurted out.


    He had finally pieced the puzzle together. Since thisdy was Mo Liuxis biological older sister, would it be called heading deep into the lions den if he went to their house?


    Luosang was bemused. ording to the generational hierarchy, Little Apple would indeed have to address him as Uncle.


    However, Susus little brother had really quick mental reflexes! He almost seemed like a prodigy!


    Luosang nodded. Sure. Juste with me after school


    Jin, can you bear to part with Yan Yan? Yan Su could not sit still any longer, and she nudged him with a forced smile. What a nuisance her mother and brother were being!


    Yan Yan seemed to understand something too. She grabbed Yan Jins arm tightly and refused to let go. Unfortunately, no one could understand what she meant when she went, Goo goo ga ga


    Well, why dont Yan Yane along too? Luosang asked. Yan Yan is my goddaughter after all.


    Goddaughter? Jiang Peiying repeated in surprise.


    Yeah! Susu is Little Apples godmother. Naturally, I have to be Yan Yans godmother, Luosang exined matter-of-factly. Wasnt this what we agreed on when I gave birth?


    That is indeed the case! Yan Su nodded. But Yan Yan cant go. Shes still too young. If she goes to an unfamiliar house, shell start crying at night.


    Luosang pondered about it and agreed with her. However, it was not appropriate for her to invite Yan Sus mother over, and she knew Jiang Peiying would not agree to it either.


    I guess Ill just go on my own, Yan Jin swung his short legs as he remarked. Ille home after one night there. Although ying with Yan Yan every day is fun, I do want to y with my little nephew too.

 Chapter 1549. Thats Just the Way Little Apple Is. Every Other Child He Sees Is Either a Little Bro

    Chapter 1549. That''s Just the Way Little Apple Is. Every Other Child He Sees Is Either a Little Bro


    Yan Yan puckered her lips, about to cry.


    Yan Jin kissed her face immediately and said, Be a good girl, Yan Yan. Little Uncle will be back tomorrow to keep youpany again, and he will bring you lots of good food!


    Yan Yan smacked her little lips noisily, and everyone around herughed. Suddenly shy, she turned and buried her head inside Yan Sus embrace with a silly smile. She was so undeniably cute!


    Yan Su looked up and sighed. She had to hand it to her mother and brother.


    The meal passed enjoyably. When they were done eating, Luosang drove Jiang Yuning and the rest back to Yan Sus ce, before she and Yan Su headed to school to sit for their examinations.


    When the examination ended at 5:30 p.m., Luosang sent Yan Su back again and picked Yan Jin up to go home with her.


    On the road, she decided to broach the topic from the side and asked, Jin, have you seen your sisters boyfriend before? Whats he like?


    Hes a pretty good cook. Yan Jin tilted his head and looked at Luosang. Deep down, he thought to himself that Mo Liuxis older sister did not seem too smart, and it was fortunate that she looked pretty. Young boys like him were partial to pretty girls. Hes not too bad-looking. As for everything else, Im still monitoring him.


    Does he treat your sister well? Luosang got straight to the point.


    Hes okay for now. Yan Jin shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Sister Sangsang, even if you ask me more, I wont know. Im just a kid whos still in kindergarten.


    Fair enough Deep down, Luosang thought to herself that this little kids IQ had far surpassed that of a normal kindergarten student. What do you like to eat, Jin? Ill prepare it for you tonight.


    Sister Sangsang, do you cook too? Thats awesome! Yan Jins eyes began to sparkle. Id like to have chicken wings, beef skewers, pizza, and lobster, among others!


    No problem! I know how to cook them all! Coincidentally, I feel like eating lobster too, Luosang quickly gave Steward Wu a call, and instructed him to head to the farmers market to buy some lobster.


    Sister Sangsang, youre the best! Yan Jing climbed up and gave her a huge kiss.


    Luosangs heart melted into a puddle of goo on the spot.


    When they reached home, Little Apple held on to Xiaosi and ran over awkwardly in his short pants. Although the little guys limbs were fat and chubby, his facial features were on point, and his skin was fair.


    However, when he saw Yan Jin emerge from the front seat of his mothers car, he froze.


    Come here, Little Apple. Let me introduce you to someone! This is Little Uncle Yan Jin! Luosang announced.


    Hi, how are you? Yan Jin shook his little hand.


    Little Apple blinked his eyes and said in his childish voice, Little Brother


    No, Im your uncle, Yan Jin shook his head as he said.


    Little Apple shook his head too, and insisted, Little Brother!


    Yan Jin was speechless.


    Could this little guy even be reasoned with?


    Luosang felt apologetic and said, Im sorry, thats just the way Little Apple is. Every other child he sees is either a Little Brother or a Little Sister.


    Yan Jin fellpletely silent.


    He simply could not understand how a gentle and cutedy like Sister Sangsang could give birth to a son who had no qualms about taking advantage of others.


    Forget it, Sister. Ill let him have his way, Yan Jin said politely.


    Youre very thoughtful! Luosang said as she stroked his head.


    Little Apple pouted his lips immediately and leaned his head over for her to stroke.


    Her son would get jealous easily, and Luosang had no choice but to pat him on his head too. Little Apple, could you take Jin out to y? You can fix a puzzle together, or y hide and seek! she said.


    Little Apple nodded his head. They were both boys after all, and he hardly had the chance to interact with other children. He held Yan Jin by his hand and brought him out to the backyard to show him the puppies that Xiaosi had given birth to.


    Luosang was afraid that the two children would grab at the puppies indiscriminately and hurried forward to keep an eye on them. Yan Jin turned around and said to her, Dont worry, Sister. Ill watch Little Apple and make sure he doesnt touch the dogs.

 Chapter 1550. Papa, This Is My Little Brother…

    Chapter 1550. Papa, This Is My Little Brother��


    Luosang was very pleased.


    What a well-behaved and thoughtful child this was. It was a pity that he was someone elses. On the other hand, her Little Apple was as mischievous as could be. Alright, Jin. Please take care of Little Apple. Ill get us some fruit.


    After slicing the fruit, Luosang saw Yan Jin holding Little Apples hand and bringing him back. The rtionship between the both of them had suddenly made rapid progress.


    Little Apple dragged Yan Jin to his room, and the two boys yed with robots, tanks, and puzzles together.


    The voices of the children drifted over from the room from time to time, and Sister Lan said with a smile as she chopped the vegetables, Although the boy is young, he is very mature. He gives in to Little Apple despite Little Apple being so demanding.


    Yeah. When will Steward Wu being back? Id like to prepare more lobster so that Jin can eat them to his hearts content.


    At 6 p.m., Nian Junting came home from work. When he saw Yan Jin in the nursery, he was stunned for a moment.


    Hello, Older Brother, Yan Jin got up quickly to greet him when he saw therge figure standing by the door.


    Older Brother


    Nian Junting looked at the little boy, who was not much taller than his son, and his lips twitched. Although I look very young, in terms of age, itll be more appropriate for you to call me Uncle instead.


    Yan Jin blinked his eyes and nodded his head. Okay, Uncle!


    Since Little Apple had no qualms taking advantage of him, he was going to get his advantage back from Little Apples father.


    Good kid, Nian Junting said approvingly. He rarely came across such a well-behaved child, unlike his son whom he often felt like kicking into the Pacific Ocean.


    Papa, my little brother When Little Apple saw his father, he lumbered over eagerly to introduce his new friend.


    Nian Junting was speechless.


    Junting, youre back! Luosang came over wearing an apron. Jin, Little Apple, are you done with your puzzle?


    We still have a little more to go, Yan Jin said with a smile that revealed his teeth. Sister Sangsang, your apron is very pretty.


    Thank you! Luosang stroked his head.


    Nian Junting turned around to look at her and remarked mockingly, Youre okay with a little kid calling you Older Sister despite your age?


    Yan Jin said immediately, Sister Sangsang, this uncle here told me to call him Uncle.''


    Sure. Just continue calling him Uncle. He likes it anyway! Luosang nodded with a smirk. Actually, hes my uncle too


    Xu Luosang Nian Junting pulled her into his embrace and said through gritted teeth, Would you marry your uncle?


    Luosang lowered her head to hide herughter, revealing her elegant white neck. Nian Junting restrained himself in front of the two children and asked, Whose kid is this?


    Hes from Susus family, Luosang replied.


    Nian Juntings eyes widened. Yan Su gave birth to a boy?


    Didnt she say she had given birth to a girl?


    No, this is Yan Sus little brother. When Luosang heard him, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She nced over at him perceptively and remarked, Wait a minute, did you already know that Susu had given birth to a child?


    A normal persons shocked reaction would not have been to ask if she had given birth to a boy!


    Did she? Yan Su gave birth to a child? Nian Junting deliberately feigned ignorance. He surmised that Luosang was still unaware that the child was Mo Liuxis. Otherwise, she would have already called to tell him.


    Yeah, she gave birth to a girl. Shes quite pretty, but I dont know who the father is, Luosang said. But Im happy that Yan Su was able to find some happiness of her own. Enough talking. Watch over them for a while. Im going to cook the lobster.


    Lobster? Nian Junting frowned deeply. How many times do you need me to tell you how much parasites those creatures have

 Chapter 1551. Served Him Right for Always Being So Straight-Laced

    Chapter 1551. Served Him Right for Always Being So Straight-Laced


    Yes, yes. There are plenty of parasites in them, indeed. So you better not have anyter, Luosang quickly interrupted him and turned around to leave.


    Nian Juntings mouth was still agape; he had not even finished whatever he wanted to say.


    Uncle, I was the one who asked to eat lobsters. Dont be angry with Sister Sangsang, Yan Jin tugged at his pants and exined in a small voice.


    Nian Junting rubbed his brows gently. I wasnt aware of your identity before, but thinking about it now, itll indeed be more appropriate for you to address me as Older Brother. Im Sister Sangsangs husband after all.


    Yan Jin widened his eyes in a deliberate disy of confusion and bafflement. But you just said that in terms of age, itll be more appropriate for me to call you Uncle! Im so confused now.


    Nian Junting crouched down and was about to exin himself further when Little Apple suddenly came over. He held Yan Jins hand domineeringly and said in his kiddy voice, Call Uncle, you my little brother


    Although he was still young, he understood that if his father was Yan Jins older brother, Yan Jin would be ahead of him in terms of generational hierarchy, and he would not be able to be his little brother any longer.


    Little Apple enjoyed ying the role of an older brother.


    Nian Juntings eyes drifted over to his son, and he had the sudden urge to fling him out of the window.


    Dinnermenced when it was close to 7 p.m., and the spread was especially sumptuous.


    There were braised chicken wings, baked spareribs, sliced fish in spicy sauce, and a huge pot of lobsters.


    Yan Jins eyes lit up when he saw the dishes, and he asked, Sister Sangsang, did you cook all these?


    Yeah! Eat up! Luosang replied as she removed the shell of a huge lobster for him.


    Yan Jin could not stopplimenting the food. Although Sister Sangsangs culinary skills were not as good as Mo Liuxis, it was still much better than his parents. She was indeed Mo Liuxis older sister; they were both so gifted with food.


    Mama I want Little Apple pushed his tiny bowl over urgently.


    Luosang washed the gravy from the lobster before feeding it to him, but it was still too spicy. Little Apple began to cry, but between his tears, he kept insisting that the lobster was tasty and that he still wanted more.


    Just looking at him from the side was enough to make Nian Junting feel embarrassed to admit that this was his son.


    Sister Lan and Steward Wu ate quietly in a corner too. The lobsters during this season were plump and fleshy.


    Nian Junting shook his head in exasperation. He could not understand why everyone found these creatures tasty, but they did indeed look appetizing. He began to salivate and wanted a taste of them too.


    However, just as he reached his chopsticks out, Luosang stopped him.


    With a distressed gaze, she said to him in a concerned tone, Dont eat this, Hubby. They arent clean! Theyre so dirty and filled with parasites, especially this one. They have an exceptionally high mercury content, and its not good for the body.


    As she rambled on, she peeled one shellfish for herself and popped it into her mouth.


    Nian Junting did not utter another word.


    How were they supposed to have a happy marriage when she behaved this way?


    Thats fine. As your husband, Im supposed to go through thick and thin with you. He reached his chopsticks out persistently, only to have Luosang stop him again stubbornly.


    Hubby, even if my life depends on it, Ill never allow your precious body toe in contact with these lobsters. Theyll contaminate you!


    Im not afraid of getting contaminated Nian Junting said through his gritted teeth.


    Little Apple looked at his father and then back at the lobster in his bowl. There was not much left. He quickly ced the lobster at the side of the table, beyond his fathers reach.


    Nian Junting fell silent, suddenly feeling emotionally drained.


    Hubby, have some vegetables, Luosang said affectionately. Served him right for always being so straightced.


    Nian Junting decided to ignore them right then and lowered his head to finish his food silently.


    He was beginning to feel superfluous in his own home.

 Chapter 1552. Your Little Brother-In-Law Is Quite Something. He Has So Many Tricks up His Sleeve

    Chapter 1552. Your Little Brother-In-Law Is Quite Something. He Has So Many Tricks up His Sleeve


    He was beginning to feel superfluous in his own home.


    At approximately eight p.m., Xu Zhengxuan came to visit his grandson.


    Mo Jin had gone to Europe for a few days. Feeling especially lonely, he could only rely on his daughter and grandchild to console him.


    When Xu Zhengxuan saw that Yan Jin was present too, he decided to join the two children to watch a cartoon.


    Yan Jin nibbled on some snacks for a while and suddenly appeared beside Xu Zhengxuan. Uncle, do you have any sons? he asked.


    Yeah, I do. Xu Zhengxuan nodded with a smile.


    How old is he?


    Twenty-two, Xu Zhengxuan answered amiably. Why are you asking, little fellow?


    Thats coincidental. I have a sister too, Yan Jin said without a change in beat as he began to swing his little legs. Shes very pretty. Why dont we introduce her to your son?


    Seated on the couch beside them, Nian Junting choked on his tea and could not help spitting it out.


    He had to hand it to this little brother-inw of Mo Liuxi. His sister was already attached, and he was still looking to y matchmaker for her. Moreover, he refused to believe that Yan Jin did not know that Mo Liuxi was Xu Zhengxuans son. This boy was here to stir trouble.


    Furthermore, while he addressed Nian Junting as an uncle, he called Xu Zhengxuan, who was a whole generation older, uncle as well. Nian Junting was seriously thinking of smacking him.


    Stunned for a moment, Xu Zhengxuan then chuckled. Your sister is Yan Su, isnt she? Ive seen Yan Su a few times. Shes a prettydy.


    Yeah, Yan Jin replied as he continued swinging his legs. But my sister is a little older.


    I have no objection to rtionships where the woman is older than the man. Furthermore, the age difference isnt significant either. Xu Zhengxuan nodded with augh. However, Im afraid your sister wont be okay with it. To be honest, I think Yan Su can do a lot better. My sons character is too cold. Of course, its also because he seems to already have a girlfriend, though Ive never met her before.


    Yan Jin nodded his little head.


    Xu Zhengxuan patted him on his head. Dont worry, Im confident that someone as eligible as your sister will certainly meet a good man. If my son didnt have a girlfriend and was one to listen to me, Id definitely introduce them. Unfortunately, my word doesnt count for much at home. My son and wife dont listen to me.


    He paused for a moment and said bitterly to Nian Junting, Junting, Im sure you can empathize with me.


    Nian Junting did not answer.


    It was not his fault that his father-inw was content to live under the thumb of others.


    Uncle, youre a good father, Yan Jin consoled him. I too wish that I didnt have to listen to my parents, but theyre always insistent on dictating what I do.


    Xu Zhengxuan guffawed. Theyre doing it for your own good.


    When Luosang was done bathing Little Apple and carried him down, she found the elderly man and little boy chatting happily together.


    Nian Junting took a snapshot and sent it to Mo Liuxi with the message, Your little brother-inw is quite something. He has so many tricks up his sleeve


    Mo Liuxi was watching television with his daughter and his future mother-inw when he saw the WeChat message, and his eyes widened so much that they almost flew out of their sockets.


    Oh my god Mom Is Jin here too? Is he having dinner at my home? He showed the picture to Jiang Peiying hesitantly. Why had no one mentioned this before?


    Oh yeah. I forgot all about it! Jiang Peiying eximed as she smacked her thigh. I had no idea that Luosang was your sister, given that she has a different family name from you. She treated us to lunch in the afternoon and invited Yan Jin to her home to y. When Yan Jin heard that she has a little son, he was very eager to go.


    Mo Liuxi did not reply. He had no idea if Jiang Peiying was feigning ignorance or not, but he was sure that Yan Jin was precocious enough to know what was going on. Had that little fellow gone to interact with his father to pave the way for his sister?


    Yeah. Luosang took my dads family name, while I took my moms. Thats my father, Mo Liuxi said softly.

 Chapter 1553. I Asked for Yan Yan to Come In, Not You!

    Chapter 1553. I Asked for Yan Yan to Come In, Not You!


    Oh, thats your dad? He looks very young! Jiang Peiying was stunned too. She had sent her son out simply to test the waters. She never expected him to have a personal chat with Mo Liuxis father.


    Well


    She had no idea how she was supposed to describe her son. If not for the fact that his looks resembled hers, she would have doubted that he was truly her child.


    What is Jin doing with your father? she asked Mo Liuxi haltingly.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless with exasperation; that was supposed to be his question! However, he still gave an exnation, My parents live in the same neighborhood as my sister, and theyll go over almost every day to visit my little nephew.


    I see, Jiang Peiying replied with understanding.


    At 11 p.m., Yan Su finally came home. Not long after she had showered, while she was in the room, Mo Liuxi sneaked in holding Yan Yan, who was fast asleep and hurriedly burrowed under the covers beside her.


    Yan Su deliberately raised her brows and poked him in his chest. I asked for Yan Yan toe in, not you. My mom is asleep next door!


    Mo Liuxi scoffed. Your mom is such a smart woman, Im sure shes already guessed it. Shes just not calling us out. Besides, we even have a kid together. Whats there to be afraid of? Dont worry, Ill still spare a thought for her feelings. Ill sneak back to my room in the morning.


    Yan Su could not change his mind, so she allowed him to have his way. In the meantime, she turned her head to watch Yan Yan sleeping quietly.


    Oh, right! Why didnt you tell me that your brother was visiting too? Mo Liuxi poked her on the cheek. You did it on purpose, didnt you? So that your brother could find out more about my family?


    Stop imagining things. Jin just went to y with Little Apple. Besides, he wanted to go, and I couldnt stop him. Yan Su turned around to re at him. You, on the other hand, arranged a meet-up with our parents without telling me anything! Did you even seek my opinion?


    Mo Liuxi nced at herzily, and replied, Youve already dragged it from the New Year to the summer vacation! How much longer do you want to dy it  until the end of the year? By then, Yan Yan would already be old enough to start moving around on her own! Your parents are getting anxious!


    Yan Su had nothing to say to that. He was right.


    Mo Liuxi snorted with righteous indignation, Being with you is serious anxiety-inducing. But what can I do about it? Its just my luck that even though the woman I found is older than me, shespletely immature. Whoever said women mature earlier than men was bullshitting!


    Yan Su waspletely taken aback.


    How egotistical of him!


    Why are you ring at me? Are you unhappy with what I said? Why dont we let your mother be the judge tomorrow? Mo Liuxi said.


    Yan Su naturally did not want her mother to judge anything. She knew she would be in for a huge reprimand.


    After the meeting in summer, well get married at the end of the year. That settles it! Mo Liuxi released her and turned around to open the drawer. Why is it gone? he asked.


    Yan Sus legs suddenly went limp. Cant you even take a break for one night? You have an examination tomorrow!


    I only need my brain for the examination tomorrow, Mo Liuxi replied matter-of-factly.


    Yan Su was helpless against him. Eventually, she conceded defeat and walked over to the wardrobe. She pulled out a safe box and punched in the secret code before retrieving the object from inside.


    Mo Liuxis eyes suddenly turned mischievous. I know you like collecting such things. But even so, theres no need to treat it as if it were a treasure.


    Yan Su stayed silent for a moment. She then gritted her teeth in exasperation and replied, I was worried that my mom would find it if she went through my things during her visit! That was how


    That was how what? Mo Liuxi narrowed his ck eyes at her.


    Nothing. Yan Su closed the safe box and climbed back into bed.

 Chapter 1554. Sister Sangsangs Husband Seems a Little Slow in the Head

    Chapter 1554. Sister Sangsang''s Husband Seems a Little Slow in the Head


    Mo Liuxi pulled her over immediately and bit her lip in punishment as he said to her, Did you think I wouldnt know that it was because your mom flipped through your diary that she found out about what happened between you and Shi Xiang?


    Mncholy overcame Yan Su at the realization that her mother had revealed everything to Mo Liuxi.


    Jealousy began to brew inside the man, and it took Yan Su a long time to finally cajole and pacify him.


    In the room next door, Jiang Peiying received a voice report from her son before she went to bed.


    This was roughly what the voice report said, Sister Sangsang: Mo Liuxis older sister is a good person, is a very good cook, and has an especially big appetite.


    Little Apple: Mo Liuxis little nephew is very mischievous and likes to boss others around.


    Uncle Nian: Sister Sangsangs husband is very handsome, but seems a little slow in the head, is especially scared of his wife and likes keeping up appearances, but he has no say in the household. Oh, right, he was the one who told me to address him as Uncle.


    Old Uncle Nian: A friendly and easygoing older man, smiles at everyone and probably has even less say in the household than the younger Uncle Nian. I heard that his wife and son dont really heed his words. Poor thing.


    Jiang Peiying was speechless.


    It was a pity her son was not a detective.


    Judging from the situation, however, there seemed to be a pattern in Mo Liuxis family  the men did not have much say. That worked out just fine for her.


    The next day, the moment Jiang Peiying stepped out of the door, she saw her daughter limping as she chased after Yan Yan to wipe her face.


    Whats wrong with your legs? Jiang Peiying asked.


    Yan Sus expression froze for a few seconds before she lowered her head shamefacedly and replied, Theyre aching from dance practice. Ive recently been learning a new ribbon dance


    The ribbon dance is done with the hands. What has it got to do with your legs? Jiang Peiying was at a loss for words; her daughter could not evene up with a more credible lie. Did her daughter seriously think she was deaf with age, and she could not hear someone sneaking into her room and closing the door the night before?


    She had been young once too. She just had never been called out on her antics.


    Yan Su was undeniably embarrassed, but she had no choice but to continue in her lie. The ribbon dance is not what you think it is. Its prettyplicated, and it requires movement from the whole body. Oh, right! Did Jin contact you in the morning? Ill get Jiaojiao to pick him upter on


    He said that Sangsang is taking him and Little Apple to the amusement park. She even asked me to bring Yan Yan along. I knew you wouldnt be free, and felt that it wasnt appropriate to let her take care of two children on her own, so I agreed to go, Jiang Peiying said with a smile. It just so happens that you wont be free, and Liuxi has to sit for his examination.


    Yan Su fellpletely silent and rubbed her forehead with her hand. She was about to go crazy! Mom, how could you just


    Isnt Sangsang your good friend? And also Yan Yans godmother? If were going to bring up blood ties, thats her biological niece as well. Why are you being so squeamish about it? Shes going to find out about it sooner orter anyway, Jiang Peiying reasoned. Dont worry about me, just concentrate on whatever it is you need to do.


    Yan Su had no idea what else to say.


    Mo Liuxi, on the other hand, came over to console her calmly. Mom is right. In any case, my sister will find out soon. Go ahead and have your breakfast. Ill feed Yan Yan her breakfast.


    Feeding breakfast to an active and energetic one-year-old was a very demanding task. Mo Liuxi patiently fed the whole bowl of noodles to Yan Yan till not a single drop was left. Jiang Peiying was very satisfied upon witnessing it.


    At 10 a.m., Jiaojiao dropped Jiang Peiying and Yan Yan off at the entrance of the amusement park. Luosang and the two children were already there, together with Sister Lan. Since there were so many children, having an extra adult present was more reassuring for everyone.


    Yan Yan, did you miss me? Yan Jin ran over and carried Yan Yan in his arms. I brought you something yummy!

 Chapter 1555. Yan Yan and Little Apple Resemble EaChapter Other a Little

    Chapter 1555. Yan Yan and Little Apple Resemble EaChapter Other a Little


    Yan Yanughed sweetly and gave him a loud and affectionate kiss.


    Little Apple ran over as well. He took a nce at the little pink and plump girl and decided that he liked her very much. He was also very envious of the fact that she was so close to Yan Jin.


    He openly reached his chubby hand out, pulled Yan Yan in for a big hug, and said, Little Sister, Older Brother likes


    Everyone was stunned when they witnessed this scene, and Sister Lan remarked with augh, Usually when I take him to the park, he refuses to y with the other girls. Today is the first time Im seeing him hug a girl!


    Jiang Peiying was giggling away deep down. They were biologically-rted after all!


    However, Yan Jin began to get jealous. He dragged Yan Yan over and said domineeringly, Shes my little princess!


    Little Apple grew upset. With his hands on his waist, he stomped his feet, and his voice was gibberish as he insisted, Mine! My little pwincesh!


    Enough! Stop fighting! This is your little sister! Luosang hugged her son and said, Yan Yan is mommys goddaughter.


    Little Apple blinked his eyes for a moment and stared intently at Yan Yan for a while. Still unconvinced, he said, Shes not a god, shes a human


    Luosang burst outughing when she heard that. What that means is that Mommy recognizes her as a daughter, the same way you are Godmother Susus godson. Do you understand it now?


    Little Apple seemed toprehend it a little.


    Sister Lans eyes lingered on the both of them for a moment, and she suddenly eximed, Hey, you dont say that! Yan Yan and Little Apple do resemble each other a little!


    Luosang was stunned. They did indeed! It was easy to overlook it when they were not standing together. However, now that they were standing side-by-side, the slight resemnce was noticeable, to the extent no one would have doubted it if someone imed they were siblings.


    But since this child did not look like Susu, that meant he had to look like his father.


    Hey, its time to go in! Jiang Peiying saw that Luosang was suddenly pensive and quickly changed the topic.


    Yeah, lets go! Luosang recovered her senses and pulled the two children along as she walked in.


    The group of them stayed in the amusement park until evening, and they only returned home when the sky got dark. When Luosang carried Little Apple out of the bathroom after his bath, he refused to wear his clothes as a protest. I want Little Sister


    Luosang was caught in a rut. Little Sister has gone home, she exined. She needs to keep her mommypany too!


    No! I want Little Sister, Little Apple pouted his lips. Regardless of how his mother tried to cajole him, he could not be appeased.


    When Nian Junting came home and witnessed this scene, he frowned. How old are you? Why cant you be a little more mature? You dont want to wear your clothes? Fine! Dont wear any clothes from today onwards! Its summer anyway, and you wont fall ill. Just donteiningter that youre embarrassed about your fat little body.


    Hmph! So be it! Little Apple held his head high. He knew he had a cute form, was tall for his age, and better-looking than everyone else. Even without clothes Im still good-looking


    Nian Junting saw how smug he looked and had to suppress the urge to hit him with a broomstick. Good-looking? Your legs look like a pigs trotters!


    How on earth had he ended up with such a shameless son?


    Enough! Just shut up! Luosang rolled her eyes at him discourteously. Could he not tell that his son took after him? It was bad enough that he was doing nothing to help the situation, but here he was making it worse!


    She bent forward and said with a pleasant smile, If you dont put on any clothes, Little Sister will think youre a hooligan when she sees you. She wont want to y with you anymore!


    Little Apple panicked when he heard that, and he quickly heeded his mothers words and put on his clothes. He then began to sing happily at home, I have a little sister, a little sister, a little sister


    Nian Juntings mood darkened. His son had a little sister, but he did not even have a daughter!


    After pondering for a moment, he turned around and asked Luosang, You went out with Yan Su and her daughter today?

 Chapter 1556. Nian Junting, Will You Shut Up?

    Chapter 1556. Nian Junting, Will You Shut Up?


    Yeah! Susus mother was taking care of her, Luosang replied breezily. It was really strange though. I didnt expect Little Apple to like Yan Yan so much. He kept holding her hand, and hed give her the first bite of whatever snack I bought for him. Whenever any other kid came close, he refused to budge.


    Nian Junting hummed knowingly. That was probably why people said blood was thicker than water.


    Luosang continued, Has Little Apple perhaps met his destined other half?


    Nian Junting fellpletely silent.


    The rtionship can be that of childhood sweethearts with absolute trust in each other. Although theyre still young, I think theyre quite well-suited. Moreover, Susu and I are close friends; itll be great if we could be inws in the future! Luosang grew excited just thinking about it. Furthermore, judging from Yan Yans features, I can tell shell certainly grow up to be very pretty. Shes already well-mannered and cute.


    No. Nian Junting rejected the idea immediately. That would be an incestuous union!


    Why?


    Theyre still young. Let him choose his partner. I dont approve of parents arranging their childrens marriages. What era are we living in? Nian Junting objected without any hesitation. If you want a daughter that much, just have one with me.


    Stop trying to get into my pants! Luosang rolled her eyes at him before bending down to help her son into his clothes.


    Over the next few days, Little Apple kept moring to y with his little sister. Luosang had no other choice but to approach Yan Su. She spent a long time persuading her before Yan Su finally agreed to bring Yan Yan and Yan Jin over for a y date. She felt a lot more reassured with Yan Jin by her side.


    The first time Nian Juntingid his eyes on Yan Yan was when he came home carrying a bag of Kentucky Fried Chicken in his hand. Yan Yan had run to the door to pick up a ball, and when she saw him, confusion clouded her fair little face, and a look of timidity shed across her eyes that resembled Luosangs. Then, in a nasally and kiddy voice, she said, Unger. It sounded a little like the word uncle.


    Nian Junting looked at Yan Yan for a while before crouching down to pick her up. Good girl. Call me Daddy.


    Yan Yans eyes widened.


    Luosang was walking over, and her footsteps slowed. She could keenly sense that her husband wanted a daughter very much.


    Im your godmothers husband. That makes me your godfather, Nian Junting exined gently.


    Bewilderment colored her features. It did not make sense to her; she already had a father!


    Enough. Stop scaring the kid, Luosang admonished as she took Yan Yan from his arms. She cant even speak properly yet. How is she supposed to call you? Wheres the KFC Family Bucket I asked you to get?


    Its here, Nian Junting replied as he reluctantly held out the bag of Kentucky Fried Chicken.


    The children quickly swarmed around them. Nian Junting watched as each person took a chicken wing, and began to retrieve some pictures from his cell phone. Eat up! Enjoy your KFC! But you have to understand how the animal youre currently eating grew up. Come, look at this. Each of these chickens has a dozen wings growing out of them, and they reach maturity within a few days due to the number of hormones that are injected into them. Right! There was even news recently that a child found maggots while he was eating the chicken from KFC


    Yan Jin, Little Apple, and Yan Yan all felt like throwing up upon seeing the pictures. They turned their eyes to the chicken wings in their hands, but no longer had the appetite to take another bite.


    The corners of Luosangs lips quivered. Unable to endure it, she eximed, Nian Junting, will you shut up?


    Nian Junting looked at her bitterly and said, Luo, how can you shout at me like that? You asked me to buy the chicken from KFC, and I bought it! Im just sharing news of current affairs with the children now, and now youre pissed off. What on earth do you want? Do you want to change your husband?

 Chapter 1557. Or Perhaps Shes Your Brothers Illegitimate Daughter

    Chapter 1557. Or Perhaps She''s Your Brother''s Illegitimate Daughter


    Speechless, Luosang felt as if a thousand horses were trampling over her heart.


    She squeezed the spicy chicken wing in her hand, but she did not possess the courage to take another bite.


    I have no wish to change my husband. I simply want to eat my chicken wing! Luosang dered as she took a determined bite.


    Nian Junting turned to the three children and said, Watch out! Maggots may starting out of your mothers mouth.


    The three young children cowered away in fear.


    Luosang was speechless.


    Everyone had initially been eager to eat from the Family Bucket, but after the stunt that Nian Junting pulled, the bucket remained full and no one dared to touch it.


    After dinner, Yan Yan began to miss her mother, grandmother, and father. She sat on the couch forlornly and looked out the window. When Little Apple and Yan Jin saw that she was upset, they pulled her along with them to y ball indoors.


    Nian Junting observed the three children. He realized that Yan Jin and Yan Su did resemble each other a little, Little Apple looked very much like Luosang, and Yan Yan looked like Mo Liuxi. Mo Liuxi and Luosang looked simr, and put together, all three of them looked somewhat alike.


    He rested an ankle on his other knee as he nced at Luosang peeling fruit for the children. He was beginning to worry about her IQ. It had already been some time. Did she not even suspect anything? Deliberately, he said, Are you certain that Yan Yan isnt an illegitimate daughter of yours and some other man outside? She looks so much like you.


    Luosang rolled her eyes at him. Get lost!


    Nian Junting sighed. Or perhaps shes your brothers illegitimate daughter.


    Youre crazy, Luosang said humorlessly. Stop joking like that. It wont be good for Yan Yan if she hears it.


    Nian Junting fell silent.


    He was not joking at all! He was already giving her such obvious hints!


    At 8 a.m., Yan Su arrived to pick Yan Yan and Yan Jin up after work. Yan Yan ran over and hugged her arms tightly.


    Sangsang, thank you for taking care of Yan Yan. These are tickets to my concert. Itll be held in the arena on Saturday. If you and CEO Nian are free, pleasee! Yan Su handed the tickets over and left.


    The moment Yan Su left, Xu Zhengxuan and Mo Jin came over and just happened to see the nanny van leaving thepound. Little Apple was still crying in the front yard, reluctant to part with his little sister.


    Oh, dear! Who made our little darling cry? Mo Jin hurriedly carried Little Apple in her arms. Dont cry! Grandma bought lots of toys from overseas for Little Apple!


    I dont want toys. I want Little Sister! Little Apple took a deep breath and continued to cry.


    Luosang saw that her mother was unable to stop the child from crying and came over to coax him herself. Did you see Godma giving us tickets just now? Well go to a concert in a few days, and youll get to see Little Sister soon.


    Only then did Little Apple stop crying.


    The few of them walked on the cobblestone path and made their way back into the house. The concert you were referring to is Yan Sus, isnt it? Since when did she have a little sister?


    Oh, thats Yan Sus daughter, Luosang corrected.


    Mo Jin was stunned, and her mind suddenly went nk. Yan Su had a daughter?


    Whose child was she? Was it her sons? Or was her son about to be a stepfather?


    Because she was so startled, she forgot to watch her step and did not see the pavilion in front of her. By the time she heard the loud warnings from her daughter and Xu Zhengxuan, it was already toote. She shed directly into the wooden pavilion, and her head started to buzz.


    Mom, are you alright? What were you thinking about that you didnt even bother to watch where you were going? Luosang was shocked and quickly went forward to help her up as Xu Zhangxuan rubbed her forehead for her.


    My head hurts, Mo Jin said and pushed Xu Zhengxuan away, rubbing the bruise on her own.


    Xu Zhengxuan replied anxiously, Itll hurt for sure. How can it not when you whacked it against such arge and hard pir?


    Right. How old is Yan Sus daughter? Mo Jin looked up and asked, When was she born? How have I never heard of her before?


    Yeah. I too only found out about her recently. Shes a little more than a year old, I guess, Luosang replied.

 Chapter 1558. Your Mother Realized That She Has Another Granddaughter

    Chapter 1558. Your Mother Realized That She Has Another Granddaughter


    Mo Jin recalled that a year ago, the two of them had never even met each other. Then again, however, her son had be a little strange since the beginning of the previous year.


    She could not tell if this little girl was rted to them either.


    Do you have any pictures? Id like to see whos better-looking between her and Little Apple, Mo Jin remarked.


    Whats there topare? Though, I have to say that Yan Yan is very pretty indeed! Luosang pulled out her cell phone. She had taken numerous photos of the three children over the past few days. Because Yan Su was a public figure, she did not dare to post the photos on her social media ount. I was just saying that since Little Apple likes her so much, perhaps we can arrange a marriage for them.


    Thats a good idea, Xu Zhengxuan concurred as he leaned over to take a look. Wow. One look and I can tell that shell grow up to be a great beauty.


    Right? The father and daughter were so busy interacting with each other that they did not notice that beside them, Mo Jins eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets.


    The father and daughter were unaware of it, but she had brought Mo Liuxi up personally. This child was a spitting image of him when he had been young, except that it was a girl.


    That rascal had had a daughter behind everyones backs, and till now, had yet to introduce her to the family.


    Mo Jin was excited and furious at the same time.


    If Mo Liuxi had been in front of her right there and then, she would have strangled him!


    Mom, whats wrong? After chatting with her father for a while, Luosang asked in bewilderment, finally realizing that her mother was lost in her thoughts.


    Sangsang, I suddenly recalled that theres something very important that I havent done. Ill have to leave first. Ille back to visit you tomorrow. With that, Mo Jin turned around and left out the door.


    Hey, where are you off to? Ill give you a lift! Xu Zhengxuan hobbled after her.


    Thats not necessary. Keep our daughterpany! Mo Jin ran off even faster than a rabbit could.


    Perturbed, Xu Zhengxuan turned around toin to his daughter, You should say something to your mother. How can she go out thiste without her husband?


    It looked like something urgent, Dad. Dont hold it against her. After replying to her father, Luosang muttered to herself, But Ive rarely seen Mom this flustered. I wonder whats so important.


    Standing at the side, Nian Junting pursed his lips in exasperation. It was because her mother had suddenly realized that she had another granddaughter, and she was in a hurry to ascertain the fact!


    Only this father and daughter were left in the dark about the situation. Everyone else knew about it and had tacitly kept it from them, perhaps out of exasperation that they had not managed to figure it out for themselves yet.


    While driving, Mo Jin gave Mo Liuxi a call. Where are you now? Im on my way to your apartment.


    I just had dinner with my schoolmates. Im on my way back. Mo Liuxi paused for a moment. He was not intending to return to his apartment. Is there a problem? Can you tell me over the phone? Im not home.


    If youre going home, where are you going? To Yan Sus ce? Mo Jin was at the height of her fury and was very agitated. Did you think your mother wouldnt find out about your illicit secret?


    Mo Liuxi was silent for a while, before replying, Please dont make it sound so ugly. Our rtionship was prettyplicated


    What was soplicated about it? Wasnt it just a case of young people falling in love, and one thinking that the other loved someone else but realizing at the end that they had both been in love with each other all along? Mo Jin scoffed.


    Mo Liuxi could not answer.


    Now that she phrased it in such a way, that did seem to be the case. He was beginning to suspect that Mo Jin had installed a surveince camera beside him.


    Ive been there and done that, Mo Jin said. Thats probably the case for every young lover out there too. I saw you in pain; I just couldnt be bothered to say anything about it. Some things have to be experienced personally. After all, when ites to love, youre still a novice.

 Chapter 1559. Poor Yan Su. Did She Get Scammed By You Because She Was Too Na?ve?

    Chapter 1559. Poor Yan Su. Did She Get Scammed By You Because She Was Too Na?ve?


    Mo Liuxi was particrly averse to hearing that his love wasmon like everyone elses. However, he had to admit that Mo Jins words did sound reasonable.


    Also, do the two of you already have a child? Mo Jin gritted her teeth and continued, I saw pictures of Yan Sus child from your sister. She looked very much like you when you were young.


    Yeah Mo Liuxi did not intend to keep it a secret any longer.


    Mo Jins hand trembled while holding the phone. Although she had already guessed it, hearing the words from her son was still a huge blow, and she felt as if the sky had fallen on her.


    Previously, she had thought it would be fortunate enough if someone was willing to ept her son. Now that there was even a granddaughter present, she was about to go crazy with happiness. You rascal! How could you keep something so important from me for so long? How could you leave your daughter without a proper home? Now I understand why your girlfriend wanted to break up with you! You deserved it!


    Mo Liuxis face darkened. I just found out about it recently too. In any case, its a little hard to exin. Additionally, I have to be upfront with you. The child will take Yan Sus family name. Also, from the time Susu gave birth till now, it has been Susus parents who have been raising the child. So please dont be with them for her.


    Mo Liuxi, what the hell are you saying?! Mo Jin felt as if she had just been doused with a bucket of cold water. Am I not even allowed to acknowledge my granddaughter?


    You may, of course, but you cant force her to go back with you, and you mustnt force her to change her family name, Mo Liuxi dered firmly. Yes, Im the childs father, but other than being a sperm donor, Ive done way too little for the child. Please put yourself in my shoes. If my father suddenly wanted me to change my family name to Xu, how would you feel?


    Mo Jin was especially able to empathize with the situation. Just what on earth did you do to the mother and daughter? How immature can you be? How did I even give birth to a son like you? Poor Su Yan. Did you scam her because she was too naive?


    Mo Liuxi rubbed his brows in consternation. How could his mother switch sides so quickly?


    Where does Su Yan live? Take me there now. I want to see Su Yan and my granddaughter, Mo Jin ordered anxiously. Come and pick me up now!


    Yan Su was on her way home when she received Mo Liuxis call. She did not have much of a choice. She could understand why Mo Jin was so eager to see her granddaughter, and after a moments consideration, she acquiesced.


    They were going to have to meet each other sooner orter anyway.


    She gave a call to Jiang Peiying at home. Jiang Peiying was silent for a moment, before asking, She wont take Yan Yan away, will she?


    Of course not! Yan Su reassured her gently. His mother isnt an unreasonable woman. The child should always be with the parents.


    Jiang Peiying sighed. What youre saying makes sense. If she can acknowledge her granddaughter, in the future, when Yan Yan is living with you, you wont have to worry that no one will watch over her while you work. I just cant bear to part from her.


    Yan Suughed. Its not as if were giving Yan Yan away! If you miss her, just visit her anytime! We can always go over too. Traveling is so convenient now.


    Thats true.


    When Yan Su arrived home, she prepared some fruit. Mo Jin and Mo Liuxi soon arrived afterward.


    As the door opened, Jiang Peiyings heart was thumping in her chest. She was not mentally prepared for this yet, and her husband was not here either. Nevertheless, she stepped forward and greeted, Hello, Im Susus mother.


    Mo Jin sized Jiang Peiying up. Given how elegantly Jiang Peiying was dressed, she could tell that she was from a literati family with one look. Im Liuxis mother. I shouldve visited you long ago, but every time I asked, he refused to tell me anything.

 Chapter 1560. Was Her Son Shameless to the Extent That He Was Addressing Another Woman as Mom?

    Chapter 1560. Was Her Son Shameless to the Extent That He Was Addressing Another Woman as Mom?


    Mo Liuxi frowned. His mother might not have cared, but he did not want Jiang Peiying to misunderstand. Mom, dont get the wrong idea. I told you before that both families will meet after Susus concert is over in summer.


    Mo Jin was baffled. When did you say that to me?


    Jiang Peiying smiled and exined. He said that to me.


    Mo Jin fell silent.


    In other words, was her sons previous statement not directed at her? Was her son shameless to the extent that he was addressing another woman as Mom?


    Was he even still her son?


    When had he ever spoken so graciously to her?


    At the side, Yan Su blushed as she nced at Mo Liuxi, and her heart inexplicably went out to Mo Jin. Quickly, she said, Auntie, Ive been busy touring the country for the first half of the year, but Ive wanted very much to visit you too.


    Mo Jin instantly felt much better. Although her son had switched allegiances, Yan Su was still a gentle and thoughtful person. Susu, Mom has liked you for a long time, since the first time you came to our house. But I felt that my son wasnt good enough for you. Furthermore, both of you behaved like sworn enemies every time you were together. Thus, I could only keep my thoughts to myself.


    Yan Su and Jiang Peiying were both taken aback by the fact that Mo Jin had referred to herself as Mom.


    After all, Mo Liuxi had interacted with their family for quite some time and had only started calling Jiang Peiying Mom after proposing. His mother had barely been at their doorstep for a minute, and less than three sentences in, she was already acknowledging herself as Yan Sus mother. That was pretty presumptuous


    They finally understood where Mo Liuxis personality came from.


    When Mo Jin saw that they were frozen to the spot, she held Yan Sus hand and added, Just call me Mom in the future. Since Liuxi already calls your mother Mom, theres no need for you to be so formal either. Dont you agree, inw?


    Yan Su could not answer.


    Jiang Peiying recovered her wits and nodded her head. Yes, youre right. Why dont youe in first? Lets not stand by the door to talk.


    As soon as Mo Jin entered the living room, she asked, Wheres Yan Yan? Why is she nowhere to be seen? I saw the pictures on Sangsangs phone. Shes an especially pretty child. She really takes after Susu


    Jiang Peiying blushed from embarrassment. Yan Yan resembles Mo Liuxi more. She was too tired out from ying with Little Apple today and fell asleep in the car. Shed be in the room now. Would you like to take a look?


    Mo Jin was so nervous that she could feel her heart beating in her throat. When she saw how angelic Yan Yan looked while sleeping, she had the sudden urge to wake her up for a kiss and a hug.


    However, she could not bear to wake her little granddaughter up. Her heart felt moved. She had given up hope that her son would ever get married. Now, here he was with a wife and daughter. What a surprise this was.


    Susu, its been hard on you! Mo Jin was especially grateful to Yan Su. I can imagine how much sorrow Liuxi caused you. Now that the child is already so big, its about time for both of you to get married. In-Law, why dont we hold a quick wedding in summer? Dont worry about the betrothal gifts and the details. Well make sure that Susu is treated well.


    Jiang Peiying opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Mo Jin again. With regards to their marital home, what do you think of andscaped vi by the foot of Mount Mu in Xia City, in addition to another vi by Inteken in Switzend?


    Jiang Peiying did not know what to say.


    She was not familiar with Mount Mu. However, real estate was very expensive in Xia City, and a random vi easily cost tens of millions. Moreover, she was referring to andscaped vi and a house in Switzend. Those were not properties that money alone could buy.

 Chapter 1561. Susu Is So Popular, Im Really Worried She Wont Want You In The Future

    Chapter 1561. Susu Is So Popr, I''m Really Worried She Won''t Want You In The Future


    If you dont like any of these, you can just choose whichever house Susu likes, Mo Jin mulled over it. Worried that this might breed dissatisfaction, she added, Of course, we will provide the car as well. However, I dont know what kind of car Susu likes. Just let her choose as long as the price does not exceed 100 million.


    Jiang Peiying was at a loss for words. She had never seen a car worth 100 million yuan. However, her family was notcking in money either. The mary sum being discussed were mere numbers to her.


    I think for young people like them, an apartment that fits three people is big enough. As for the car, its fine as long as its afortable ride. Theres no need for it to be too big. Anyway, I only have one daughter. Weve been rich since she was young, Jiang Peiying calmed down and exined gently, I only have one request. I hope that she can live happily in the future and not be bullied.


    Of course not, Mo Jin shook her head. Ill treat Yan Su like my own daughter. Besides, Ive been someone elses daughter-inw before, and my mother-inw used to make things difficult for me. I can understand that feeling, so I wont force her to do anything. I wont dictate that she has to give birth to a few children, carry on the family line with a son, or serve her husband and children at home. I did not achieve any of these things myself. Im not an old-fashioned person. To be honest, I dont really have many expectations of Liuxi. In the past, I thought that even if he brought a man to me, I would be able to ept it. After all, his personality is so unlikeable to girls.


    Dont say that, Liuxi is a good child, Jiang Peiying was full of praises. He has good culinary skills, and he is especially sensible, considerate, filial, and capable. In my opinion, my daughter is not worthy of him.


    Mo Jin was stunned. Was Jiang Peiying sure that she was talking about her biological son?


    Next, the two mothers took turns toin about their children. In the end, the two of them silently concluded that their children were really not that great. Perhaps this was the so-called saying that no matter how bad the pot was, there would still be a cover for it.


    With this realization, they chatted happily. Jiang Peiying admired Mo Jins cheerfulness, while Mo Jin admired Jiang Peiyings open-mindedness.


    Mo Jin stayed there until 11P.M. Yan Yan woke up a few times in that period to go to the toilet. During that time, she hugged her granddaughter affectionately.


    When it grewte, Mo Liuxi walked Mo Jin downstairs with his hands in his pockets. Do my father and sister know about this?


    Im not sure yet. but your brother-inw should be aware. Mo Jin was amused at the thought of her stupid husband and daughter. Lets not talk about it for now. Lets just give them a surprise and let them pay for their stupidity.


    Mo Liuxi nced at her. Whatever. Dont call Susu so frequently. Shes going to perform soon. Dont distract her.


    Mo Jin chuckled, You really stop caring about your mother once you fall in love.


    When have I ever cared about you? Mo Liuxi retorted calmly.


    Mo Jin:


    What a prick.


    Drive slowly on your way back. Give me a call when you get home, Mo Liuxi instructed her in a low voice.


    Mo Jin felt a little better after hearing this and replied, Arrange for a meeting between the two families as soon as possible so you can get married this year. Susu is so popr. Im really worried that shell change her mind in the future and not want you anymore.


    She then left, ignoring Mo Liuxis ugly expression.


    Mo Liuxi returned upstairs. Jiang Peiying had just hung up the phone when she said to him, Susus father and I just spoke. Hesing over at the beginning of the month. The two families will have dinner together. You two will get engaged in the summer and married in the winter.

 Chapter 1562. Meeting In the Concert

    Chapter 1562. Meeting In the Concert


    Thank you, Mom, replied Mo Liuxi. After a moment of shock, he picked Yan Su up in delight and addressed her as his wife.


    Feeling embarrassed in front of her mother, Yan Sus face turned red as she hammered his shoulder. I havent married you yet. Are you shameless? Let me down.


    I refuse to, said Mo Liuxi, smiling until his eyes were curved like bright crescents.


    Yan Su gazed at him, and her heart involuntarily filled with happiness. From the moment they reconciled their rtionship until now, even though there had been some twists and turns, they very fortunately had the support and understanding of their families.


    Mo Jin yawned while looking at them, then turned to tell Jiang Peiying, Mommy, theyre offending public morals, right?


    After the summer vacation, students from various schools were released. No matter where they went, they were noisy. As a famous tourist attraction, Xia city was even more crowded.


    Yan Sus concert in Xia Citys Arena had attracted many young fans. Half an hour before the concert started, the arena was already almost full.


    Luosang held the ticket in one hand and Yan Sus light stick in the other. She walked forward while looking at the seat numbers. Nian Junting followed quietly behind her to protect her from being pushed over. This time, both of them hade out secretly without telling their son. Little Apple had been begging toe to the concert to see his sister, but in such a public ce, the media was everywhere. Yan Su could not bring her child here, so Luosang did not bring her son either.


    Junting, our seats are over there,  said Luosang as she turned around and grabbed her hubbysrge hand. Although were not at the front, we still have a good view. Susu gave us a good seat.


    Yeah, Nian Junting responded ndly and followed her through the crowd.


    When they were about to reach the front row, a slender man wearing a mask, a white shirt, and jeans walked over.


    The three of them bumped into each other. Luosang blinked and said excitedly, Liuxi


    Mo Liuxi covered her mouth and said, Dont scream.


    Luosang understood immediately. Even though her brother was just a director, his outstanding appearance attracted a lot of attention from the public. He had even garnered an army of fans.


    Why are you here?  Luosang nced at the light stick in his hand and said, Oh, youre here to support Susu as well. You talk as if you dont get along with her, yet here you are in Xia city for her concert. Thats not too shabby. Youre a good friend.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless. His sisters IQ was really


    Which row are you in?  Luosang asked.


    Mo Liuxi gave her a nce of his ticket, which made Luosang feel perplexed. She said, Yours is in the first row. Susu would never give you such a good seat. You spent a lot of money, didnt you? I heard that the price of her best concert ticket was inted and sold for 20,000 Yuan. Youre really generous.


    Lets go. Nian Junting felt that he would lose face if he allowed his wife to continue talking, so he dragged her away.


    Luosang grumbled, Why are you leaving so quickly? I havent seen Liuxi for a long time. I have a lot to talk to him about.


    There are so many peopleing and going here. Its not a good time to talk,  Nian Junting turned back and exined helplessly.


    After taking her seat, Luosang wanted to see how far Mo Liuxi was from them. However, he was on the other side of the stage, so she could not see him at all. In the end, she gave up looking for him.


    I wonder where Auntie Jiang and Xiao Jin are sitting,  Luosang murmured to herself.


    Have some popcorn,  Nian Junting reminded her.


    ..


    The concert started at 8 P.M. sharp.


    Yan Su walked onto the stage in a gorgeous swan costume. She was so beautiful that people were dazzled by her beauty. In the next two hours, Yan Su changed into seven sets of clothes. During that time, she dazzled people with all kinds of enchanting and charming dance choreographies.

 Chapter 1563. He Is here Tonight

    Chapter 1563. He Is here Tonight


    Luosangs heart ached as she watched the singer. She could not help but say to Nian Junting, Actually its quite tough to be a singer, you have to sing and dance for such a long time. If I was in her shoes, I wouldnt be able to handle it.


    If you only sang without dancing, the ticket prices wouldnt be so high. Moreover, people would grow bored of watching a person doing the same thing after a long time, Nian Junting replied as he satzily on his chair. He was not interested in these things anyway, since he thought that his wife was the best singer around.


    It was almost 10:30 p.m. when Yan Su finished singing a famous song. The song had obviously exhausted her a lot. Her bangs were slightly damp and she was panting when she adjusted her headphones on the big screen.


    What Im going to sing next isnt my own song. It is Mo Wenweis Slowly Falling in Love With You, Yan Su paused, took a deep breath, then continued with a gentle look in her eyes. Its a confession song, a confession to someone, a confession to the person in my heart.


    Her words were so sudden that the audience, fans, and media were all caught off guard. The crowd was in an uproar. Was she going to confess to her love at her own concert?


    The atmosphere seemed to have reached a climax all of a sudden.


    Luosang was also shocked. As Yan Sus friend, she had never heard her mention anything like this before.


    Many people around her were just like her. She even heard Yan Sus fans behind her said, Oh my God, when did Yan Su get a boyfriend? I cant ept it.


    I cant ept it either. Yan Su is so beautiful, and shes the perfect candidate to remain alone. Ahhh, Im going crazy.


    Yan Su is also a woman. Its normal for her to like someone. Shes not talking about Shi Xiang, is she? Is she going to get back together with him?


    Damn, that would definitely be the confession of the century. I wonder if Weibo will crash tonight?


    Will Shi Xiangs fans go crazy?


    It might not be Shi Xiang. Perhaps its Chi Shengxu. Some insider news revealed that she has gotten close to Chi Shengxu. It might also be Mo Liuxi. They fell into the sea together in Venice.


    Everyone was talking at the same time. Luosang held Nian Juntings hand nervously and said, I hope its not Shi Xiang.


    Nian Junting turned back to look at her, thinking that his wife might drive herself crazyter.


    On the stage, Yan Su smiled as she watched the people below the stage whispered to each other. She dered, Yes, Im going to confess to my boyfriend. The truth is, I already have a boyfriend. Ever since I became famous, many people online have been talking about who Impatible with. I think this is not good for my boyfriend, so I prefer to make my rtionship status public. Since everyone will find out sooner orter anyway, I might as well tell you guys about it right now. Hes here with us tonight.


    Below the stage, Luosang bit her lips and widened her eyes. What? Shi Xiang is here? Where is he?


    Nian Junting:


    He really did not understand why she was so fixated on Shi Xiang.


    Yan Su was indifferent about how sensational her words were to the people below the stage. Even her own manager was about to go crazy. She continued, I want to tell him that I really hated him in the past. I dont know why I eventually fell in love with him. Maybe this is what love is all about. I hope he cane up to the stageter. Of course, I dont need him to sing with me, because his singing is terrible.


    After she finished saying those words, the music started.


    Constantly writing about the delightful evenings spent together.


    The bikes they rode and the conversations they had together.


    The girls white dress that the boy loves to see her wear.


    So many scenes.


    So many romances.


    So many heartaches.

 Chapter 1564. How Did My Brother Become Susus boyfriend

    Chapter 1564. How Did My Brother Be Susu''s boyfriend


    The entire arena was silent with tacit understanding. Only Yan Sus calm and gentle voice could be heard in the arena.


    Suddenly, a tall boy in a white shirt, jeans, and ck cloth shoes walked up from the right side of the stage. As he walked up, he took off his mask. The light and chilly stage lights instantly lit up his jet-ck eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose bridge, and sexy thin lips. This was a handsome face as if only existed in a manga.


    His face soon appeared on the big screen around him, zoomed in clearly. This face had appeared in public before, but his eyes were as cold as snow. At this moment, there was a surprised but gentle smile on his lips and eyebrows, it was like the first melting of ice and snow.


    The audience was shocked and screamed in surprise, even Yan Sus voice was drowned out.


    No one knew who was the first one to call out Mo Liuxi.


    Mo LiuxiMo Liuxi


    The relentless chanting flooded the entire space like a tide.


    Luosang, who was off stage was petrifiedpletely.


    She held her head.


    Oh my god, oh my god.


    She wondered if she was just dazzled or hallucinating.


    Why did she see her brother walking toward the stage, and why did she see Yan Su holding Mo Liusis hand.


    There was even a close-up on the big screen. The two of them looked at each other affectionately and smiled, but Yan Sus face was blushing and looking very shy. Mo Liusi, on the other hand, had a big smile on his face.


    Hubby Luosang turned to look at the man beside her in shock. is that Liuxi on the stage? Tell Me.


    Nian Junting looked at his wife, who was still in a daze, and nodded helplessly. Yes, its him. You Didnt see wrongly.


    But how did my brother be Susus boyfriend? Luosang was confused. Why didnt I know that?


    Thats because youve been having a baby brain for three years. Nian Junting patted her head, then said sympathetically and understandingly.


    Luosang really believed that she might have be dumber after being pregnant. But after a while, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Her hubby was way too calm. Thats not right. You dont seem surprised at all. Did you know that long ago?


    Nian Junting nced at her helplessly and said, I think everyone knows except for you and your dad.


    Luosang was surprised at first but then she became angry. How could you do this? You kept it from me. Please, Susu is my best friend, and Liuxi is my brother. Why didnt you tell me? Why didnt they tell me?


    No one told us. We found out about it ourselves, Nian Junting saidzily, weve been hanging out together so many times. Every time we go to Hangzhou or our home, they were so obvious. Even your mom could tell that they are together, its just you and your dad were always dense. We also didnt expose them. Everyone could tell that Yan Su was embarrassed. After all, shes your friend.


    Luosang was stunned. Was it that obvious? She could only tell that the two of them werent on the same page. Every time they were together, Luosang couldnt help but pick on Yan Su. Was this the way they flirt?


    However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it all made sense. After all, Luosang had never been so rude to anyone, but to Yan Su, it was especially obvious.


    Nian Junting sighed and said, During the New Year, Yan Su went back to Jiangxi for the New Year celebration. Your Brother brought back so many local products from Jiangxi, but you insisted that they were from Hunan and Hubei.


    Luosang was speechless.


    She had never been to Jiangxi, so how would she know what kind of local products did Jiangxi produce.

 Chapter 1565. Did I Sing it Wrongly?

    Chapter 1565. Did I Sing it Wrongly?


    So my brother went to Yan Sus house for the New Year celebration, didnt he.


    So these two people had lied to me for so long, didnt they.


    When she was in Hang Zhou, Mo Liuxi went out to see Yan Su, didnt he.


    She didnt dare to think about it anymore as she was left in the dark for god knows how many things.


    In fact, she had thought about it when she saw them going to Venice together. However, those two were always quarreling with each other in front of her, and they would ignore each other. Besides, they were a few years apart in terms of age. She really did not expect that they would actually date.


    Wait a minute, So Yan Yan also Luosang was even more shocked.


    Nian Junting pursed his thin lips and said, You should have thought about it earlier. Yan Yan and Mo Liuxi looked so much alike. I hinted at youst time.


    Oh please, there was a huge gulf between him and his dumb wife when ites to intelligence.


    Luosang suddenly remembered that he had joked about it at homest time. So, that was the hint.


    Oh my God, when did they have sex? Luosang was shocked. Judging from Yan Yans age, she was not much younger than Little Apple. This meant that they actually had sex shortly after she just married Nian Junting.


    What did I actually miss? Luosang mumbled to herself for a long time.


    She was not the only one. The audience was almost going crazy.


    My gosh, How could Yan Su be with Mo Liuxi? Didnt they always have a bad rtionship because of Shi Xiang


    Im going crazy too. Yan Su should be with Shi Xiang.


    What nonsense. Shi Xiang should be with Mo Liuxi. Theyre the true love.


    Who can tell me what would Shi Xiang do? Is Shi Xiang going to be single?


    In short, the people off stage were having a heated argument while the people on stage were holding hands and singing very romantically.


    However, Mo Liuxi just quietly followed Yan Su. The two of them were like the perfect couple.


    Someone suddenly shouted, Sing together, sing together.


    Following that, the rally became louder and louder,pletely overshadowing Yan Sus voice.


    Yan Su was embarrassed. She had said earlier that they would not sing together as Mo Liuxis singing was terrible.


    At This Moment, a staff member ran up and handed a microphone to Mo Liuxi.


    Yan Su just happened to sing, The past and the present are the same. You said that you would be like this too. I will slowly like you


    She stopped and looked at Mo Liuxi.


    Mo Liuxi picked up the microphone and continued the line calmly. Slowly liking you, liking you, liking you, always liking you


    Yan Su:


    She could not believe what her ears were hearing. It was one thing to sing out of tunepletely, but he even sang the lyrics were wrong. Who gave him the courage to sing?


    Everyoneughed.


    Mo Liuxi stopped and asked, Did I sing it wrongly?


    You Didnt sing it wrongly, Everyone shouted in unison.


    Yan Su turned around and whispered to him, You better not sing. Just Stand next to me.


    After she finished speaking, she tried her best to listen to the rhythm to find the right tune. It was challenging for her to find the right tune. After she finished singing, the crowd quietened down. Suddenly, a fan in the front row shouted, Mo Liuxi, what about Shi Xiang?


    Mo Liuxis face turned dark instantly. She picked up the microphone and retorted, Stop joking around. Hes my girlfriends ex-boyfriend. My rtionship with Shi Xiang has never been that good.


    Yan Su was speechless and thought that she was overly straightforward.


    Mo Liuxi thought about it and indeed felt that it was not good. So she added, Of course, Im not jealous.

 Chapter 1566. I Have a Boyfriend. Hes Right beside Me

    Chapter 1566. I Have a Boyfriend. He''s Right beside Me


    This time, theughter from below grew even louder.


    Someone said loudly, Thats right, youre not jealous. Youve be jealousy itself.


    Mo Liuxi nced over coldly, San Su smiled and said, Alright, everyone, stop joking around. Actually, Im not a high-profile person. When I first started dating, I thought that I would only announce my rtionship after I got married. Later, I thought that I should give my partner a sufficient sense of security. In the future, if the news media intends to write about who I am dating again, I think they should stop doing it. This is because I have a boyfriend. Hes right beside me. Furthermore, were also nning to get married.


    Everyone was shocked, and even the media was caught off guard.


    The tea tonight was piping hot, and they had never seen such a straightforward singer. She had announced her date just like that, and she even mentioned the news of her wedding.


    Ive said what I needed to say. Tonight is still my concert, so lets continue singing thest song,  Yan Su said as she held Mo Liuxis hand and walked to the edge of the stage. Mo Liuxi walked down gracefully and continued to put on his mask, it was as if what had happened just now was a trivial incident.


    In fact, he was already having butterflies in the stomach.


    He had no idea that Yan Su would ask him toe up. He thought that this was just an ordinary concert. When she suddenly confessed to him and asked him toe up, he was dumbfounded.


    Fortunately, he was a person who often goes on the stage and had witnessed all kinds of big scenes. He was mentally strong and quickly calmed down from the surprise. However, he had to admit that he really liked this surprise.


    Especially Yan Susst words, which touched him very much. If not for so many people being there, he really wanted to hug her and give her a fierce kiss.


    It turned out that she also knew that he did not feel secured. She knew that he minded about her scandals with other people and about being together with her in secret as if they had done something wrong.


    His Susu was really good at giving people surprises.


    From falling in love to getting married, was she trying to give himself the identity of a fianc.


    In the past, he hated being high-profile. But now, he suddenly liked it.


    Shi Xiang was nothingpared to him now.


    From now on, he decided to give Susu an absolute sense of trust. He could not act like he used to be anymore.


    During this ordinary concert, Mo Liuxi made up his mind to treat Yan Su well for the rest of his life.


    After the concert ended, Xiang Wan bid farewell to the audience and faded into the backstage gradually.


    Before her gorgeous clothes were taken off, her manager, Xiang Wan, had already stormed over like a tornado. Yan Su, are you crazy? You suddenly announced that you have a boyfriend at your own concert and didnt tell me beforehand. This person is still Mo Liuxi.


    Im sorry, Sister Xiang,  Yan Su apologized in a low voice. If I had told you, you wouldnt have let me.


    You know, Xiang Wan hugged her head, I am not stopping you from datingpletely, but youre still too young. Youve only just be popr. Its fine if you date him in a low-key manner. Even if you want to make it public, you have to discuss it with the team first. If the fans dont support you, it will affect your current poprity. And you, Wu Jiao, why didnt you tell me?


    Sister Xiang, I didnt know that she was going to announce it to the public. Jiao Jiao was depressed. At least you knew that she had a child. I only found out about it recently.


    Speaking of children, Xiang Wan felt a headacheing, its even more


    The child is Mo Liuxis, Yan Su said in a low voice. I havent told you about it


    Xiang Wans jaw dropped.

 Chapter 1567. Are You Insulting My Woman?

    Chapter 1567. Are You Insulting My Woman?


    She had never thought that the child would be Mo Liuxis, who was a few years younger than Yan Su.


    Jiao Jiao was afraid that Xiang Wan would get angry, so she quickly said, Sister Xiang, Mr. Mo is actually quite powerful. He has a filmpany, a super-rich family background, and is the heir of the Morrison n. His brother-inw is Nian Junting, and president Nian is someone that even our boss is afraid of.


    Xiang Wan red at her. She did not need her to tell her such obvious matters.


    In fact, she was satisfied with the identity of the man that Yan Su had found. Fortunately, he was not any Tom, Dick or Harry.


    But the announcement was just too sudden.


    Susu, do you know who is the best match for Mo Liuxi in the entertainment business? Xiang Wan suddenly sighed.


    Yan Su was at a loss.


    Shi Xiang.


    Yan Su:


    She could not understand why her current boyfriend was the best match for her ex-boyfriend. What did that mean to her as a girlfriend.


    If you guys continue like this, youll be spammed to death by their CP fans. Xiang Wan said.


    Who dares to spout nonsense about my woman? Suddenly, a low and cold voice came from not far behind them.


    The three of them followed the voice and looked over. Mo Liuxi walked over with a cold but dazzling face. He thought that Yan Su was being bullied, so he nced at Xiang Wan with a murderous look. Are you insulting my woman?


    Xiang Wan was actually older than him, but getting a cold nce from him had given her a sudden tremble. How is that possible? Im talking about Shi Xiang and Yan Sus CP fans.


    Yan Su sweated. Sister Xiang was really quick to react, but she did make the right call. If she was to say that there were CP fans for him and Shi Xiang, he would definitely go crazy on the spot.


    Mo Liuxi snorted coldly and pulled Yan Su into his arms. He hugged her tightly, Shi Xiangs fans are nothing. They have no taste. From today onwards, this kind of fans should be dismissed like crumbling soil. Oh right, youre Susus manager, right? Ive wanted to meet you for a long time. Im already together with Susu. You cant say anything bad about Susu just because of our rtionship. Of course, you can be assured that I wont affect Susus resources. Moreover, Ill fight for the best for her. In the future, if you want to fight for anything for her, just tell me directly. Ill go and inform whoever involved.


    Xiang Wans eyes lit up when towards hisst line of words. Although his earlier words had made her slightly sulky, she would not care about anything else all for his promise.


    Mr. Mo, you are a good match for Susu. Xiang Wan said immediately. Dont worry. I will post it on Weibo to announce it officiallyter. I believe that many fans will support you guys. After all, you guys are a perfect match.


    I think so too. Mo Liuxi looked at Yan Su affectionately and ignored them.


    Lets go. We shall not disturb them. I believe there are many reporters outside. Xiang Wan pulled Jiao Jiao and left quickly.


    Mo Liuxi held Yan Sus hand and entered the lounge. As soon as they entered, he pressed her against the door. He lowered his head and stared at her with a burning gaze. Why did you do this? You suddenly made it public and caught me off guard.


    Yan Su stared at him for a while. Seeing that he was not unhappy, she lowered her head and yed with the buttons on his chest, Thats how you surprise a person.


    Its really surprising yet pleasant. Mo Liuxi pinched the tip of her nose, unable to hide her joy, Ill never forget this in my life. However, you should also teach me the song I sang today at home. What was it again? Ill slowly like you. I could have sung it with you, but because you didnt teach me, I had sung it out of tune, you little rascal.


    Yan Sus nose was sore from being pinched by him. She tried her best to pry his fingers open. You talk as if you wouldnt be out of tune if I had taught you. Also, since you dont know how to sing, dont sing. You even made up the lyrics yourself. Do you want to make others die out ofughing at you.

 Chapter 1568. Falling in Love with You Suddenly

    Chapter 1568. Falling in Love with You Suddenly


    Mo Liuxi frowned disapprovingly. For someone like me, what other people want to hear is not my song, but my voice. Just like Shi Xiang, you call him a singer? He just has a pretty face and was promoted as a heavenly king forcefully because of it.


    Yan Su was speechless. Your words hadpletely denied Shi Xiangs efforts over all these years.


    However, she had to admit that Shi Xiang had only gotten to where he was today because of his face. In the entertainment industry, if his face was not pretty, he would not be able to survive as an idol singer.


    Dont stay quiet. Whats the name of that song? Mo Liuxi chuckled. I want to learn it. Ill sing it to you when I am free.


    Yan Sus face turned hot for some reason. Actually, it was just the name of a song, but she had blushed just by saying it out. Ill like you slowly


    Her voice was as soft as a mosquitos.


    What? Say it louder. I didnt hear it clearly. Mo Liuxi bent over.


    I saidIll like you slowly, she stammered and repeated again.


    your voice is too soft. I really didnt hear it clearly.  Mo Liuxis eyes were filled withughing intention.


    Yan Su looked up and instantly saw the smile in his eyes. She stepped on him fiercely and became angry out of embarrassment. Ive already said it. How many times do you want me to say it? If you cant hear, go and treat your ears, deaf.


    Who are you scolding? Mo Liuxi directly hugged her butt and lifted her up. After letting her maintain the same height as him, his forehead pressed against her forehead. What do you mean by slowly liking me? Shouldnt you fall in love with me suddenly?


    Yan Su was stunned andpletely lost in thought.


    What are you thinking about? Mo Liuxi bit her lips. Can you hear me?


    Yan Sus eyes lit up, I thought of the name for the next new song. Its called falling in love with you suddenly. At the same time, its also the name for the new album. I will write the lyrics myself and I have been inspired just now. I have to write it down so that I dont forget. My Memory is a lot worse now.


    After saying that, she pushed him away with all her strength and went to get her phone to write it down.


    Mo Liuxi was a little unhappy. She was clearly in a lovey-dovey moment with him just now. Why did she turn around and go to work on the new album? Cant she focus more on him while they are together?


    However, the name of her new album still made him quelled his anger.


    After she finished writing, he immediately pestered her and asked, Did you write the new song for me on purpose?


    It had better be, otherwise


    Yan Su lifted her eyes and looked at him. Yes, youre right. I should have fallen in love suddenly with a big bad guy like you.


    Mo Liuxi was instantly ted. He realized that she really knew how to talk tonight, especially to tter him.


    Susu he held her little face gently, and his eyes were deeply affectionate. Thank you for giving me a sense of security. In the future, I wont always be jealous and suspicious of you.


    He turned his head slightly and was about to kiss her when Yan Su covered his mouth. Stop, Im really tired tonight. I have sung and danced for three hours. Let me take a break.


    Alright, then Ill wait for you outside. You can slowly change your clothes. Mo Liuxi did not make things difficult for her.


    When he sat below the stage, he clearly saw how much sweat she had shed. Even her voice was a little hoarse near the end of the concert.


    His heart ached, but he could only support her in his heart.


    Walking out of the waiting room, Jiang Peiying and Yan Lv came over with Yan Jin not long after.


    Jiang Peiying smiled. You young people are really romantic. Tell us how long youve been nning this. We actually dont know anything about it.


    I dont know either. That was a sudden surprise given by Susu. Mo Liuxi couldnt hide his cheery mood.

 Chapter 1569. Nobody in the entertainment industry is allowed to bully my woman from now onwards

    Chapter 1569. Nobody in the entertainment industry is allowed to bully my woman from now onwards


    Not bad. Yan Lv nodded his head in satisfaction, This girl actually knows how to surprise people now. Since you two have decided on your future, its only right to announce it to the public. Let others know that she has a family. Shes actually a singer and its best if she sticks to her job and stays away from those scandals.


    Mo Liuxi was also very satisfied. This was also what he wanted. He did not mind their rtionship being put under the spotlight, but the boyfriend had to be him.


    Yan Jin hummed in a strange tone. slowly, I like you, I like you, I like you


    Mo Liuxi:


    Of course, he could tell that this was the song that he had sung wrongly on stage, yet this kid had learned it so well.


    Yan Lv gave Yan Jin a hard p. Shut up. Your brother-inw may not have sung very well, but his courage ismendable.


    Mo Liuxi was a little embarrassed.


    Alright, both of You, stop bantering. Jiang Peiying red at the father and son. I think that his singing was alright. It made our Susus voice sound even betterter on.


    The corner of Mo Liuxis mouth twitched. He felt that he could not continue chatting anymore. Just then, Jiao Jiao walked in. Mr. Mo, there are many reporters at the door who want to interview you and Susu. You two


    Ill go alone. Susu is very tired today and is still changing her clothes. Mo Liuxi strode out.


    In such a short time, dozens of media outlets were present.


    When everyone saw him, they immediately picked up their cameras and snapped pictures.


    Jiao Jiao stopped them and said, Everyone, wait a moment. If you have any questions, please ask them one by one.


    Reporter A: Mr. Mo, May I ask when did you two fall in Love? Did you meet each other in school? How long have you been together?


    Mo Liuxi: Yes, shes my senior and Im her junior. It was a school singing event and we fell in love at first sight. Then we decided to be together and it has been almost two years.


    Reporter B: Butst year, there was a rumor about Shi Xiang and Yan Su. The two of them were even spotted at the hotel


    Mo Liuxis sharp gaze swept over, Watch your words. Did you see it with your own eyes under the bed? Susu also exined at that time. Of course, I was also angry about that scandal. We had some quarrels but had solved the misunderstandingster on. We got to know each other better and had gotten back together. This time, we will never be separated again.


    Reporter C: Did you get back together in Venice? Who took the initiative?


    Mo Liuxi: Of course both of us took the initiative. I led her on and she seduced me. Naturally, we got together.


    Jiao Jiao, who was at the side, waspletely shocked. She wanted to stop them, but she did not dare to approach because of Mo Liuxis aura.


    Reporter A: when do you n to get married? Have you proposed already?


    Mo Liuxi: I had. The two families will meet during the summer vacation to get engaged. We will get married during the winter vacation.


    Reporter B: I see that you are two years younger than Yan Su. There are very few people in the entertainment industry who get married at such a young age


    Mo Liuxi: Im afraid that she will be snatched away by others. After all, My womans the embodiment of talent and beauty. Although I believe in myself and believe in her, homewreckers nowadays are too rampant.


    Reporter C: Yan Sus confession today was quite sudden. I saw that you were rather surprised when you were on stage. Didnt you know about it beforehand?


    Mo Liuxi: Of course. My little cutie gave me a surprise on purpose. It was so unexpected that it killed me on the inside. But what I want to say is that after waiting for so long, she has finally made our rtionship public. Alright, I have already answered most of the questions that I should have answered. Please dont report any news about us breaking up in the future because that is impossible. Oh, by the way, if anyone dares to intrude on our rtionships in the future, I will not let him off definitely. Also, nobody in the entertainment industry is allowed to bully my woman.


    After finished speaking, he turned around and left in a cool manner.

 Chapter 1570. Susu, youve been keeping me in the dark for so long

    Chapter 1570. Susu, you''ve been keeping me in the dark for so long


    The reporters were all stunned by his back view.


    They had interviewed so many couples who had announced their rtionships to the public officially, but they had never seen such a high-profile and arrogant one.


    However, no matter what, he had answered a lot of questions. It had been a long time since theyst got to report such a piece of big news.


    After the interview, Mo Liuxi went back to find Yan Su. On the way back, he bumped into Nian Junting and Luosang. Seeing him, Luosang immediately widened her eyes and there was a fire burning bright in her eyes.


    Mo Liuxi she strode over and was feeling really angry. Ever since she had acknowledged him as her younger brother, she had never felt so depressed and angry as now, You two are really too much. One is my younger brother, and the other is my friend. Youve been in love with each other and kept it from me until your child was born. Tell me, when did you two get together? Dont you dare fool me with the singing event and love at first sight. Only a gullible person would believe that.


    Were you two there? Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows.


    Nian Nunting gave a faint smile and said, Are you sure that you two fell in love at first sight?


    Of courseNo. Mo Liuxi pursed his lips and said, We are in a love-hate rtionship. Sis, I didnt mean to hide it from you. I didnt hide it from you on purpose too. Otherwise, why would they know about it? You and dad are the only ones who dont know.


    What do you mean? Do you think that were not smart enough?  Luosang was so angry that she almost passed out. I believed in you two. I thought that you two would never


    As she finished speaking, Mo Liuxis delicate face suddenly turned cold. He took a step forward and said, Why wouldnt we?


    Nian Junting frowned and held Luosang tightly in his arms, who was a little frightened. Pay attention to the way you talk to your sister. Shes notpletely wrong.


    You two are always fighting. Youre always so mean to Susu. Of course, I would think that you two are notpatible. Luosang came back to her senses and said, Have you ever treated Susu well in my presence?


    You cant understand my way of being nice. Mo Liuxi pursed his lips and said, Besides, Susu hasnt been able to tell you about our rtionship. Maybe she feels embarrassed. After all, she had jumped on me forcefully while she was drunk.


    Luosang was dumbfounded. She could not believe that the gentle and soft Yan Su would actually do that.


    She had run away after sleeping with me, even giving birth to my illegitimate daughter. How could she tell you all those? Mo liuxi sneered and said, Of course, maybe you dont know your best friend well enough.


    Luosang frowned and said, Was Susu in a bad mood when she broke up with Shi Xiang? Otherwise, she wouldnt have done such a thing, especially when she hated you the most at that time.


    Its very possible. Nian Junting nodded and stroked his wifes hair. Her IQ had returned to the normal level.


    Mo Liuxi was not happy about her words, Youre wrong. If she really hated me that much, she wouldnt have fallen in love with me


    At that moment, Yan Su changed her clothes and walked out with her parents. Luosang walked up to her immediately, but she couldnt get angry at her good friend, however, she still said in a sarcastic tone, Susu, youve been keeping me in the dark for so long. I told you anything and everything back then, but you had kept everything from me. Do you still see me as your friend?


    Sangsang Yan Su was most afraid of seeing her right now. She felt very awkward and said, Im sorry, Im sorry.


    She stepped forward and held her hand, Because its too embarrassing.


    Whats so embarrassing, said Luosang. Im not an outsider. Besides, you must have suffered a lot when you were with him thanks to his difficult personality.

 Chapter 1571. My Dumb Susu, Men Are Meant to Be Bullied

    Chapter 1571. My Dumb Susu, Men Are Meant to Be Bullied


    Yan Su was touched. No matter what, Mo Liuxi was Luo Sangs younger brother, yet the woman was worried about her, Yan Su, being at a disadvantage.


    Sangsang, Im sorry. I wont hide anything from you from now on,  Yan Su hugged her.


    I was too stupid. I didnt realize it until now,  Luo Sang sighed. If I had known earlier, I wouldnt have let Liuxi bully you, let alone let you have a baby alone.


    She didnt know many things, but Yan Su had left alone around the time she gave birth to Yan Yan. Mo Liuxi wasnt in a good mood and stayed in Xia City, which meant that something had happened between them.


    She had given birth before, so she knew better than anyone how hard it was.


    Beside them, Nian Junting and Mo Liuxi frowned in dissatisfaction when they saw the two of them hugging each other. What now? Was the presence of them two unnecessary?


    Mo Liuxi pulled the two of them apart, and hugged Yan Su tightly. Ill take good care of Susu from now on. You should mind your own business.


    Luo Sang wanted to give him a good kick. Mo Liuxi, Im warning you. Dont you dare to bully Susu again. If I find out that youve done her wrong, I wont acknowledge that you are my younger brother.


    Please, Im your biological brother,  Mo Liuxi couldnt help but say. Besides, am I the only one who could possibly make mistakes between the two of us? What if shes in the wrong?


    Luo Sang didnt answer him. Instead, she gave Nian Junting a look.


    Nian Junting immediately said seriously, Let me teach you a lesson. As long as theres a fight, its always the mans fault. Theres no difference between right and wrong. You have to remember that what a woman says is always right.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    Beside them, Jiang Peiying nodded. It seemed that his sons information was right after all. Mo Liuxis brother-inw indeed had no standing in the family.


    Yan Su was stunned. Luo Sang winked at her and whispered into her ear, My dumb Susu, dont be too honest. Men are meant to be bullied. If you let him have his way too much, hell be blindly arrogant.


    She felt that Mo Liuxi was a little simr to Nian Junting in some ways.


    Yan Su blinked. She realized that she still had a lot to learn on the path of love and marriage.


    What are you two talking about? How many times do I have to tell you, dont get so close.  Mo Liuxi pulled them apart again.


    Nian Junting was annoyed. Be nicer to my wife. Clearly, Yan Su got close to her first.


    Do you think Im blind?


    Arent you blind?


    Luo Sang stood aside and sighed. After her brother had gotten a girlfriend, as the sister, she had indeed be as valueless as grass to him. At this moment, she finally understood Nian Xis feelings somewhat. Of course, she was self-aware enough to know that she had never been considered a treasure in Mo Liuxis heart before. By the way, whos taking care of Yan Yan since all of you are outside tonight?


    Your mom and your dad,  said Jiang Peiying.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    Slightly past midnight, Luo Sang and Nian Junting drove over to pick up Mo Jin and her husband, who were waiting downstairs.


    Xu Zhengxuan was still in an excited state.


    After getting into the car, he started nagging Luo Sang, Sangsang, I was really shocked today. Your mom dragged me directly to Yan Sus house. As soon as we entered, she told me that the pretty little girl was our granddaughter. Its unbelievable. How did Yan Su be your little brothers girlfriend? I dont understand.


    Dad, I understand how you feel.  Luo Sang patted the back of his hand to calm him down. I felt the same today.

 Chapter 1572. It Isnt Enough for You to Sleep on the Sofa for Only One Night, Stay There for

    Chapter 1572. It Isn''t Enough for You to Sleep on the Sofa for Only One Night, Stay There for


    Xu Zhengxuan continued, To be honest, Im quite worried about that girl, Yan Su. Shes young, beautiful, gentle, and sensible. As for your younger brother, he may be capable, but hes still too young. Im worried that hes not mature enough. Sigh No, I really feel that our family owes Yan Su too much. Shes such a good daughter-inw. We need to settle the marriage as soon as possible. Ive just talked to Yan Sus father upstairs. Well have dinner together tomorrow night, and officiate the engagement of the two children.


    Dad, I support the idea,  Luo Sang agreed. Mom, what do you think?


    I really dont know what good deeds your brother has done in his past life,  Mo Jin said. Although we only met briefly, Yan Sus parents are clearly intellectuals. Theye from good,patible backgrounds, unlike your dad and I who suffered a lot back then as we werent from simr backgrounds.


    Xu Zhengxuan fell silent immediately, but he had to admit that Mo Jin had a point. Marriage didnt just involve two people, it involved two families.


    After returning to the vi, Luo Sang took a shower, then went to bed. When Nian Junting was about to join her on the bed after his shower, Luo Sang threw a pillow at him and said, You, sleep on the floor.


    What have I done wrong?  Nian Junting felt wronged. As they came backte today, Little Apple and Sister Lan had already went to bed together. He had nned to show off his skills in bed and enjoy himself to the maximum, but now, he couldnt even join her on the bed. He felt depressed.


    You knew about it, but you didnt tell me earlier. You made me look like a fool. Tell me, how many times have you secretlyughed at me, thinking that Im stupid?  Luo Sang poked him in the chest hard. A married couple should be honest with each other. Have you forgotten all the vows you made on our wedding day?


    Nian Junting opened his mouth, but Luo Sang interrupted him and spoke again, Dont tell me you hinted me. You were just enjoying the show. So, to punish you, youll be sleeping on the sofa tonight.


    Luoluo, youre simply being unreasonable,  Nian Juntingined, dissatisfied. I told you before that I had a secret, and you were the one who said that you didnt want to know.


    You were trying to trick me into having a second child back then.  Luo Sang snickered. Oh, right, you suddenly wanted very much to have a girl back then. Was it because you already knew that Liuxi had a child at that time, so you were envious?


    Nian Junting blinked, averting his gaze. I I didnt


    He felt that maybe he liked the Sangsang who wasnt that smart back then more.


    The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Shes my niece, but I didnt know about it. It isnt enough for you to sleep on the sofa for only one night, stay there for two nights,  Luo Sang said angrily. Itll be three nights if you continue arguing with me.


    Okay, Ill sleep on the sofa,  Nian Junting thought for a while, then nodded.


    Downstairs, Little Apple turned over in a drowsy state, then muttered to Sister Lan, Gran its so noisy


    Good girl, youre dreaming,  Sister Lan covered her ears,ining internally that her young master and Sangsang were really going too far nowadays. Not only were they affecting her sleep, but also influencing their daughter negatively.


    Yan Su was too tired these few days. Once she got home, she went to bed and immediately fell into a deep sleep.


    When she woke up the next day, she looked at Weibo. Her rtionship with Mo Liuxi still topped the list of hot news. Then, she saw the video of Mo Liuxis interview as well.


    She did not even know when he had epted an interview. After she opened the video, she couldnt even be bothered toin anymore.

 Chapter 1573. Just to Wish You Good Luck and Happiness

    Chapter 1573. Just to Wish You Good Luck and Happiness


    It just so happened that Mo Liuxi entered not long after that. She directly threw her phone at him for him to see. Who allowed you to ept an interview alone? Look at what youve said. Love at first sight, who would actually fall in love with you at first sight? Have you forgotten how you treated me in the past? Also, you said that you approached me in Venice and that I seduced you. When have I ever seduced you? Youve always been the one picking on me.


    She didnt want to say anything about the trivial matter, but Netizen Amented that it was just like a romantic love story on campus, and that they wanted to have a simr rtionship too.


    Netizen B: Is this the kind of beautiful, legendary love story where I like you and you just happen to like me too? Its so blissful.


    Netizen C: Director Mo is so domineering and manly. God owes me such a boyfriend.


    Just look at what theizens were saying. Was their love story really such a fairy tale? She had not forgotten how hard her life had been at that time. She had even cried a few times, angered by him.


    Oh, youre talking about the interview.  Mo Liuxi casually picked up the phone. After taking a look, he returned it to her. Surely I cant tell theizens about


    Yan Sus face turned red from anger. She forcefully sat up straight and red at him. Thats not the first time we met, right?


    Its the first time  Mo Liuxi moved forward. He pressed his hand on the bed, his body slowly leaning toward her. His tone was ambiguous, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.


    Yan Su was really angered by his shameless smile. She pounced on him and hammered him with her fists, using all her strength.


    Mo Liuxi smiled and hugged her. Youre kicking up a fit because you cant win the argument with words. Also, when we were in Venice, did you really not seduce me at all? In the movie theater, although I did force you verbally, you didnt object either. I wouldnt have seeded otherwise.


    Yan Sus face was so red that she couldnt hold it in anymore. She covered his mouth with all her strength. Shut up. Dont you say anything anymore.


    He really was too bad. He clearly knew that she had feelings for him at that time.


    She bit her lip, braced herself, and said, Thats right. Those things were all consensual. No one could force anyone else to do so, but I didnt seduce you either. I swear, I really didnt.


    Mo Liuxi moved her hand away, his eyes filled with affection. Do you even need to seduce me? Youre so pretty, every inch of you. Every time you show up in a gown, youre effectively seducing me.


    They looked at each other. Suddenly, her phone rang. The screen of the phone on the bed clearly shed the word Shi Xiang.


    Mo Liuxis eyelids twitched. Yan Su was startled and said, Ill hang up.


    Hang up? What for? Maybe hes here to wish us well. Answer it.  Mo Liuxi took the initiative to ept the call and even put it on speaker mode.


    Susu,  Shi Xiangs voice rang out from the phone. I saw the news about you this morning


    Yan Su stole a nce at Mo Liuxi. Seeing that he had no intention to speak, she said, Mhm, Im sorry. When I opened Weibo this morning, I saw that you made the headlines too because of us.


    Its okay. Thats normal.  Shi Xiangs tone was very quiet. Im calling just to wish you good luck and happiness.

 Chapter 1574. Luosang Choked on her Soup for a Long Time before she Recovered

    Chapter 1574. Luosang Choked on her Soup for a Long Time before she Recovered


    Yan Su was stunned for a few seconds before she nodded and said, Thank you. I wish you happiness too.


    You know, IDo I still deserve happiness? The person on the other end of the line smiled bitterly.


    You will. You definitely will. Um I have something to do. Im hanging up now. Yan Su was afraid that he would bring up what happened that night. It was on speakerphone also, so it wouldnt be good if Mo Liuxi heard it.


    Not bad, you hung up beautifully. Mo Liuxi was extremely satisfied. In his opinion, Shi Xiang was just using the excuse of wishing her well to beg for her sympathy. Yan Su hung up just in time. Hurry up and get up, brush your teeth, and eat breakfast. If you starve my little darling, I will feel bad.


    After breakfast, Yan Su received many blessings from her friends in the industry. Some were from Ji Nuanyi, and some were from Cheng Sheng.


    Ji Nuanyi even directly tagged mo liuxi on Weibo: I had long known that someone was interested in our little Susu, so I yed the matchmakers role and created opportunities for you guys. I still remember that someone promised to deliver the best actress award of Venice to me personally, dont forget it.


    Thus, arge number of fans flooded Ji Nuanyis thread to praise her. They even gave her a new nickname of Best Actress Ji.


    In short, overnight, news about Yan Su and Mo Liuxi swept across the front pages of all the major entertainment websites. Some people said that they were the most beautiful high school darling, while others said that they were still young now and that they would break up sooner orter.


    However, this was no longer important. What was important was that the two of them had really made it public.


    That night, the family booked a meal at the Banyan Hall. It had a quaint courtyard decoration style.


    When the two families met for the first time, Yan Lv praised that the ce they chose had a nice Jiangnan vibe.


    The ce was booked by Liuxi. Xu Zhengxuan and Yan lv sat together. The two of them had be good friends as if they knew each other for years in such a short time.


    Liuxi is very mature, Yan Lv said, you guys taught this child very well. To be honest, at first, we were not very satisfied with him. After all, they brought the child home without any forewarning. I really had a bad impression of Susus boyfriend, but Liuxi changed my opinion.


    Oh? Xu Zhengxuan was a little stunned.


    Jiang Peiying smiled and answered, On New Years Day, he made breakfast for us since six oclock. He made everything from rice noodles to soymilk, dumplings, and wontons. After that, he cleaned up the ce. He took care of preparing every dish for visiting friends and family. After that, he even washed the dishes, mopped the floor, and apanied the guests. He even apanied my hubby to the ceramic kiln factory to study. Thats amazing, but its also quite embarrassing. Originally, he should have been reunited with his family during New Years celebration. Dont worry, well let them go to your ce this year. Inw, I actually feel that our Susu was too lucky to have dated Liuxi. This child is too good. Now, our family is full of praise for him, everyone was saying that Susu was indeed very blessed to have met Liuxi.


    She also gave him a thumbs-up.


    Mo Liuxi said politely, Mom, dad, dont say that. Its what a child should do.


    Xu Zhengxuan and Mo Jin were both stunned.


    Luosang held her bowl and choked on the soup for a long time before she recovered.


    Inw, liuxi is right. Mo Jin could only swallow her bitterness silently.


    Forget it, Ill just treat this son as a waste.


    Yan Su felt that it wasnt easy for Mo Jin and Xu Ruoxuan, so she couldnt bear but to give each of them a meatball.


    Then, Mo Jin and Xu Zhengxuan raised their heads and looked at her expectantly. Susu, its time to call mom and dad. I just lost a son, let me have a daughter.


    Yan Su was really embarrassed, but when she heard Mo Jinsst sentence, she braced herself and called them mom and dad in front of everyone.

 Chapter 1575. I Cant Wait to Start a Family

    Chapter 1575. I Can''t Wait to Start a Family


    Since you have acknowledged us as your parents, lets set the date at December 25th. Its a good date. I even found someone to check and its the best day of the year, Xu Zhengxuan said.


    Mo Liuxi frowned, wasnt this the day they broke up.


    Just as he was about to speak, Yan Su pulled him back and whispered, Its pretty good. Isnt it good to turn bad memories into the best ones?


    Who says its not good? Mo Liuxi poured her a cup of corn juice. I just feel that its toote.


    Yan Su:


    Xu Zhengxuan heard his voice from the side, he smiled and said, Do you mean that you want it to be earlier? But I have asked the fortune teller, there are earlier good dates, but none of them is as good as this. If you guys are really in a hurry to get married, I think you should get a marriage certificate in advance. After all, marriage is just a formality.


    Yan Su smiled awkwardly and said, Were not in a hurry


    Were indeed in a hurry, Mo Liuxi interrupted her, raised his eyebrows and said, I cant wait to get married and start a family.


    Nian Junting chuckled and said, If youre in such a hurry, why dont you just get the marriage certificate tomorrow?


    Sure. Mo Liuxi nodded.


    Mo Jin, Yan Lv, and Yan Su were all dumbfounded. Yan Su herself was stunned. They were just talking about the engagement, but how did they skip to getting married tomorrow? She needed a ss of wine to calm herself down.


    Yan Lv coughed lightly, About thatIm sorry. I didnt bring Yan Sus household register. Its still in Jiangxi.


    Yan Su heaved a sigh of relief and said, Lets take it slowly. Moreover, we have to pick a good date for the wedding, such as


    Qixi, Mo Liuxi interrupted her again, it just so happens that the 7th of July is the traditional Qixi festival in China. Its the best time to get a certificate. I can go to Jiangxi to get the household register. Dad and mom, what do you guys think?


    His eyes swept over the four parents who were still in a daze. It just so happens that everyone is here recently. We can go to view the new wedding house together. Get anything we need to be booked and bought too. Theres no need for everyone to run around all the time.


    Oh, I guess thats fine. Mo Jin came back to her senses and nodded. She felt that she was used to braving through big storms and waves. But this time, she was also a little unsure. After all, this was the first time her son is going to get married. She was notpletely prepared for the marriage custom in China.


    If you think so, then lets do it. Yan Lv nodded as well. After all, the two of them were already like this, so it did not matter if they got married early.


    Thats great. It seems that Susu is going to be my sister-inw soon. Luosang smiled with mixed feelings. She raised her ss and said, Lets give them a toast together. Lets wish them a lifetime of sweetness and happiness. Xiao Pingguo, you too grab your ss to give aunt a toast.


    Xiao Pingguo was confused. Since when did he have an aunt.


    Shes your uncles girlfriend and shes going to be his wife soon, Mo Jin said.


    Xiao Pingguo looked at Yan Su, then at Yan Yan, who was also confused. He scratched the back of his head and said, Sister mama


    Yes, she is your sister, and theyre rted by blood,  Luosang said with a smile, be good to your sister in the future, okay?


    Xiao Pingguo was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded hard.


    After finishing the drink, Xiao Pingguo ran to Yan Yan, he held her little hand and said, My sistee homewitholder brother.


    Everyoneughed, but Yan Su still did not understand why she decided to bring up the marriage certificate.


    After dinner, everyone left.


    Before leaving, Mo Jin invited Jiang Peiying and her husband to visit their house the next day, and Jiang Peiying and her husband happily agreed.

 Chapter 1576. What Do You like about Mo Liuxi?

    Chapter 1576. What Do You like about Mo Liuxi?


    After returning home, Yan Su pulled Mo Liuxi into the study room directly and stared at him in confusion. Why didnt I hear you say that you wanted to get a marriage certificate?


    It was an impromptu decision. Did I scare you? Mo Liuxis gaze was gentle, I feel that since I have proposed during the New Year, and you have publicized our rtionship. This shows that you have made up your mind. Theres nothing wrong with getting married naturally like this. What do you think, or are you hesitating again?


    Im not. Yan Su was slightly stunned and quickly shook her head. Its just too sudden. Im a little afraid.


    What are you afraid of?  Mo Liuxi hugged her tightly. Are you afraid that Im still too young and that life ahead is too long? That I might treat you badly?


    A little Yan Su said honestly. After all, the two of them had broken up once before.


    I wont. I swear, Yan Su, Ill love you for the rest of my life.


    Yan Su hugged him. Maybe she should trust him, give him a chance, and then maybe for the rest of her life.


    The next day, Yan Su and her family went to Mo Liuxis house as guests. After lunch, Luosang invited Yan Su and her family to her house for dinner. Yan Su and her husband thought it was unreasonable, but they could not turn down Luosangs invitation, so they went over as well.


    At four oclock in the afternoon, Mu Rongcheng came over to see her grandson. She was a little surprised to see the lively scene in the house, Sangsang, are there guests in the house?


    Mom, let me introduce you to them. They are Yan Sus parents, as well as Liuxis inws. Theyre going to get married at the Qixi Festival this Christmas. This is Liuxi and Susus daughter, Luosang introduced her.


    Yan Lv and Jiang Peiying shook her hand.


    It took Mu Rongcheng a long time to react. She had seen Yan Su before when she went to Hang Zhou, but she did not understand why her child was already so grown up.


    Mo Jin, congrattions, she turned to Mo Jin and said, youre luckier than me.


    She remembered that Mo Liuxi was only twenty-two years old and was about to get married. She thought about her daughter, who was twenty-seven years old this year. At this crucial moment, Jiang Yuning had disappeared. Everyone thought that she was doomed, her daughter seemed to have suffered a great shock and turned into a different person. Now, she also had a headache.


    Dont say that, Mo Jin also knew about Nian Xi and sighed, how is Nian XI now?


    She spends every day at the police station and works day and night. She doesnt even look like a girl anymore. Mo Jin smiled bitterly. She insisted on going to Interpol and personally investigate Jiang Yunings whereabouts. How can it be so easy to go to such a ce? Im also worried.


    Time will wash away everything. Mo Jin did not know how tofort her.


    The more I talk, the more annoyed I get. Id better go hug my little apple. Mu Rongcheng turned around and went to find her grandson, Xiao Pingguo.


    In the evening, Luosang was going to cook the dinner herself.


    Yan Su went over to help. Sister Lan could help too, but she and Luosang had not talked to each other alone for a long time. So, it was a rare opportunity.


    Susu, what do you like about Liuxi?  Luosang asked as she cut the vegetables, Or is it just for the sake of the child


    Do you think Im that kind of person? Yan Su smiled, I wont marry someone I dont like for the sake of the child. Liuxi used to be quite annoying, but when he likes you, hell treat you very well. Others wont be able to see that.

 Chapter 1577. Her Skin Was so Tough that no Knife Could Cut her

    Chapter 1577. Her Skin Was so Tough that no Knife Could Cut her


    Luosang was silent.


    Maybe that was true. The realm of rtionships was intriguing, just like how Nian Junting treated her very well, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was a very arrogant and cold man.


    Nian is the same, Yan Su said, Hell always leave the best for you. When I lived with you in the past, every time I saw him, he was so mean. In fact, such a man can give his partner a sense of security. After all, if he was nice to everyone, it would be very problematic.


    Luosang nodded. A momentter, she moved closer to him and whispered, Have you forgotten that you two used to fight a lot?


    Actually, I know. He was trying to attract my attention, Yan Su suddenly smiled and said, Liuxi is very childish.


    Luosang was surprised, she did not expect that it would work that way.


    Susu, let me help you. At the door of the kitchen, Mo Liuxi saw her squatting on the ground and peeling potatoes, so he walked in immediately.


    No, you


    Listen to me. These potatoes are dirty. Theyre full of mud. Dont get your hands dirty, Mo Liuxi took the peeler from her hand.


    Luosang lowered her head to look at herself and could not help but say, Its dangerous for me to cut vegetables too. If Im not careful, Ill cut my hands. I think you need to help me more.


    Go help Sangsang. Youre good at cutting, arent you? Yan Su said softly.


    Mo Liuxi raised his head and nced at Luosang, then said, Her skin is so tough that no knife could cut her.


    Luosang was speechless.


    Why was her skin so tough? She was a girl with tender skin actually.


    She suddenly missed the old Mo Liuxi, who had once fought against Nian Junting for her. He was cold back then, but he would never say such harsh words.


    How can you say that? Yan Su twisted his arm and said, Sangsang is your sister. Shes doing a lot more work than me today.


    Mo Liuxi did not think much of it and said, Its okay. She usually cooks, so she wont cut herself. Nian Junting will be heartbroken if she cuts herself.


    Luosang could not stand it anymore and said, Susu, can you take this man and get lost?


    If I get out of here, are you going to work in the kitchen alone? Mo Liuxi pursed his lips. Nian Junting wont help you.


    Luosang sighed.


    Yan Su red at Mo Liuxi and said, Nian isnt a good cook, but hes very confident. If you ask him to cook for you, well have to say that hes a good cook even if his cooking is terrible.


    Thats what shes used to. Mo Liuxi squatted down and scratched the potatoes. At home, men have to learn how to cook. How can I ask her to cook for me? Usually, I only ask Susu to cook congee for me at home.


    Luosang suddenly felt like crying. She had abused others many times. She did not expect that she would be abused by Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning, and now by her good sister and brother.


    If you say one more word, youll leave. Yan Su said in a low voice.


    Alright, I wont say another word. If you dont want to leave, you can sit here. Ill make you delicious food, and Ill make you fat and fair, Mo Liuxi said in a low voice, my sisters cooking isnt as good as mine.


    Luosang tightened her grip on the kitchen knife and said, Since you dont think my cooking is good, you can cook for me.


    Alright, then you can be my assistant. You cant let my wife do anything else, Mo Liuxi said.


    Alright, can I do everything myself? Luosang took a deep breath.


    Twenty minutester, Mo Liuxi was cooking while Luosang was scraping the ginger. Nian Junting came in to see her and asked, Luo Luo, are you tired?


    Im tired, Luosang immediately said, are you going to help me?


    No, Im just looking. Those kids are too noisy. Im going to hide here for a while. Nian Junting sighed and said.

 Chapter 1578. I Can Take You to Drink Biluochun

    Chapter 1578. I Can Take You to Drink Biluochun


    The people in the kitchen were all looking at him.


    Nian junting was a little confused, dont worry about me, you can do what you need to do.


    Luosang was speechless


    What was going on today? Her brother was going to stab her, and her hubby was going to stab her.


    Although she felt very happy, she still felt like she was being abused. As expected, there was no harm withoutparison.


    At half past six, Mo Liuxi poured thest dish into the te, then turned to Yan Su and said, Susu, its been hard on you today. Ill take you to drink milk tea tonight, okay?


    Okay. The silk stockings milk tea you brought mest time was quite delicious,  Yan su agreed readily.


    Coincidentally, Nian junting came in to serve the dishes. He heard their conversation and said, Whats so good about the silk stockings milk tea? Does it have silk stockings in it?


    Everyone was silent. Mo liuxi frowned and looked at Nian junting.


    Nian junting rubbed his forehead and said, is the milk tea filtered through the silk stockings?


    It was disgusting to think about it. He really didnt understand the tastes of young people.


    Generation Gap,  Mo Liuxi shook his head and left with Yan Su.


    Nian junting looked at luosang with confusion and said, Am I Wrong?


    Old Man,  Luosang said and walked out.


    Nian junting frowned and pulled her back, patting her butt and saying, Whos Old? Speak properly.


    you dont even know about the silk stockings and milk tea. If youre not an old man, then what are you? Youre so outdated,  Luosang looked up at the sky and sighed. you should learn from Liusi. Look at how interesting he is. He even took Susu to drink milk tea.


    Nian junting snorted and said, its just milk tea. I can open a global chain of milk tea for you at any time. Besides, I wont take you to drink something as cheap as milk tea. I can take you to drink Biluochun.


    Who cares about drinking biluochun with you? As expected of a man over 30 years old.


    Luosangs temples twitched, then you can learn how to cook like Liuxi. Look how much he loves Susu. Susu cant even scrape a potato without him finding her tired.


    Why should I learn how to cook like him? His cooking is better than mine,  Nian junting said disapprovingly, theres noparison between us. Im much more perfect than him. Have you forgotten? Even you said that my cooking skills are perfect. I said that I would help you, but you always said that you wouldnt let me get close to you.


    Could she take back what she had said.


    Luosang suddenly felt that she might have spoiled him too much in the past.


    She knew that his cooking skills were terrible, so she didnt let him get close to her. In the end, she was spoiled like this.


    Luo Luo, Dont be envious of others,  Nian junting said earnestly, what youre seeing now is only the good side of them. There must be a bad side when two people get along with each other. There are many people who are envious of us. I didnt buy you milk tea, but I can give you a massage tonight.


    Luo sang thought about it and agreed with him. There was no need to always be envious of others. She had a good life too.


    However, at night, Luosang regretted it. Nian junting, didnt you say that you would give me a massage?


    Yeah, a massage? I meant a massage,  a certain man smirked.


    Luosang realized that she was too gullible. In the end, she chased Nian junting to the sofa and slept for a week.


    ..


    Mid-august, another year of the Qixi Festival wasing.


    Mo Liuxi went home a day earlier to get his household register. Xu Zhengxuan handed it to him carefully and said, son, youre going to have a family in the future. In the future be good to your mother. Dont let her worry about you anymore.


    when have I ever let her worry about me?  Mo Liuxi asked.

 Chapter 1579. The Trouble of Getting a Marriage Certificate

    Chapter 1579. The Trouble of Getting a Marriage Certificate


    Xu Zhengxuan choked on his words.


    Indeed, ever since he got back together with Mo Jin, he realized that the food she cooked was even worse than it was 20 years ago. She was an idiot for cleaning the floor and washing the clothes. After asking her, he found out that Mo Liuxi was the one who helped her in the past, it was only after Mo Liuxi went to university then she hired someone to do it.


    Treat her better. How many years of love have you owed to her? Im giving you a chance. Mo Liuxi said and strode out.


    Mo Jin looked at his back and sighed. I hope that this bad temper wont be rejected by others and ended up getting a divorce.


    Xu Zhengxuan was embarrassed. was this what a mother should say, No, Susu has a good temper. After they get married, we can officially take Yan Yan over to live with us. Moreover, the Yan family will definitely not take Yan Yan back to Jiangxi.


    Mo Jin and he looked at each other and both nodded in satisfaction.


    On the eve of Qixi Festival, Yan Su attended an event in Guangzhou. It ended at 11 oclock that night. Mo Liuxi forcefully urged her back to Xia city overnight.


    It was already past three oclock at night. After sleeping for less than four hours, they were woken up by Mo Liuxi. Susu, lets go and get a certificate today.


    Let me sleep for a while. Im so sleepy. Yan Su covered her face tightly with the nket. The Civil Affairs Bureau wont close earlier even if I nap a bit more.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her tired appearance and sighed in his heart. Going thereter did not mean that it would close earlier, but there would definitely be a lot of people. During a festival like this, the number of people trying to get a marriage certificate would peak.


    However, he really could not bear to disturb her. He waited until past nine oclock. Jiang Peiying came in directly and grabbed his daughter. Its already nine oclock. Why arent you going to get a certificate now? You want to go at noon, right? Are you worthy of Liuxi who got up at six oclock?


    Yan Sus mind was buzzing from the noise. Mom, I didnt get home until three oclockst night. Please understand.


    I dont understand. Jiang Peiying shook her head. I see that you usuallye back from work at two or three oclock and then rush out at six or seven oclock. Why are you being so pretentious when ites to getting a marriage certificate?


    Yan Su was extremely depressed. Shepletely felt that she was no longer her biological daughter.


    It took her a lot of effort to pull herself together. After she was forced out of the house and just got into the car, Mo Jin also called. Did you get a marriage certificate?


    No, I am just on the way there, Mo Liuxi said.


    Why are you still not there at such ate time?


    No, Susu only came back from a business trip at three oclockst night.


    Thats sote, Mo Jin was angry when she heard that, you bastard, she went to bed sote, and now you woke her up to get a marriage certificate. Cant you let her sleep a little longer? Why are you in such a hurry to do this in the morning? The Civil Affairs Bureau wont move away anyway. Is there any difference in getting the certificate in the afternoon? You really dont know how to be nice to her.


    Mo Liuxi frowned, but Yan Su was in a good mood andughed. She talked to the phone, Its okay, mom. We are trying to get married earlier so that you guys can stop worrying about us, isnt it?


    Susu, youre the best. Mom will wait for you guys, Mo Jins tone was as gentle as a spring breeze.


    After hanging up, Yan Su sighed. Actually, getting married is pretty good. Although my parents arent on my side, your parents always doted on me.


    Mo Liuxi held her hand and rubbed it for a while. He concluded that it was probably because the two of them didnt have a good reputation at home that they ended up like this.


    ..,


    After arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two of them put on their masks. When they entered the hall, they found that there was a long line inside. There were still eighteen people in front of them after they took their numbers.


    I knew there would be a lot of people today. Mo Liuxi sighed and pulled Yan Su to sit down. If youre sleepy, lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while.

 Chapter 1580. You Two are Really a Good Match

    Chapter 1580. You Two are Really a Good Match


    Yan Su was really sleepy.


    She did not hesitate to lean on his shoulder, but after leaning on it for a while, she felt that it was too hard, so she decided to lean on his chest directly and found afortable seat to sit down.


    Mo Liuxi put one hand on her shoulder de and lowered his head to y with his phone with the other hand.


    In the past, he hated queing for something especially, but now because of her, he seemed to be able to enjoy anything they do together.


    The two of them were immersed in each others world. They did not look at others, nor did they talk to the people around them.


    However, they did not know that although they were wearing masks, their figures were pleasing to the publics eyes. In addition, Mo Liuxis long legs, which looked like a models, were inadvertently captured by the people around them in a Tik Tok video.


    In less than ten minutes, a resourcefulizen had managed to recognized him: these two seemed to be Yan Su and Mo Liuxi. Yan Sus was also caught with the same attirest time when she went to the supermarket.


    Netizen B: Indeed, and the boy next to her looks like Mo Liuxi. His figure is about the same, and his heaven-defying long legs are a signature trait for Mo Liuxi.


    Netizen C: F*ck, they just announced their rtionshipst month and are going to get married this month. Do they have to be so fast? They seem to be younger than me.


    Netizen D: Its most likely them. Last month, there were people who said they saw their families eating together. There were also people who often took pictures of the two of them shopping together in the supermarket. At first nce, they seemed to be living together.


    Netizen E: They are really getting married immediately after falling in love. Im so envious.


    It did not take too long for that Tik Tok clip to rise to the top of the trending chart. The discussions among the onlookers were very heated.


    Many people in the Civil Affairs Bureau were whispering as they watched the two of them , but the two of them werepletely oblivious.


    The person who filmed that Tik Tok video did not expect his video to be so popr, so he secretly filmed the two of them again. One moment, he caught Mo Liuxi looking at Yan Su with his head lowered, and the next moment, he saw him kissing her forehead. In short, he was indescribably doting on her.


    It made theizens sighed with emotion that there was no need to celebrate the Qixi festival. They could just watch their lovey-dovey actions at home.


    It was not until Yan Sus phone rang that she picked it up in a daze.


    Xiang Wans voice came through. Are you guys at the Civil Affairs Bureau?


    Yes.


    Congrattions, you guys are viral again. Xiang Wan sighed. Although she was quite happy that her artist was trending on the search engines, Yan Su had gone viral too frequently on the search engines recently, so she had a slight headache, someone took a video saying that both of you are applying for a marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau. There should be arge group of reporters on their way here now.


    Yan Su was slightly stunned. At this moment, she no longer felt sleepy. She looked around and found that many people were watching them. They probably did not dare to disturb the two of them and were all observing them.


    What are you doing?  Mo Liuxi also noticed and frowned.


    A girl in her twenties walked over with a pen in her hand and said carefully, excuse me, are you Yan Su and Mo Liuxi? You two are really a good match. Can you give me an autograph? I like you guys so much, especially Yan Su. I really like listening to your songs.


    Mo Liuxi was annoyed to be disturbed, but he was still in a good mood after being praised for being a good match. So he turned to Yan Su and said, give her an autograph. Since she said that we are a good match.


    Yan Su was speechless, but she had always been good-tempered, so she still gave her an autograph.


    When the people around saw that she had sessfully signed, they all crowded over to ask for an autograph. Even the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau ran over, and in the end, even the auntie who applied for a marriage certificate came.


    Looking at therge group of people in front of her, Yan Su did not know whether tough or cry. Dont be like this. We are here to apply for a marriage certificate.


    Auntie from the Civil Affairs Bureau said, Dont worry. If you sign this autograph for me, Ill get it for you directly.


    I dont think this is right. This is considered cutting the queue. Yan Su had always remembered that as a public figure, she had to pay more attention to her image.

 Chapter 1581. Please Get Married on the Spot

    Chapter 1581. Please Get Married on the Spot


    Its okay, its okay. A woman next to them said with a smile, youre all so good-looking. You dont need to wait in line. You can just get married on the spot.


    Right, right, right. The bystanders at the side quickly echoed, Well move the Civil Affairs Bureau here for you. Please get married on the spot.


    Yan Su:


    So now, even if she did not want to get married, she had no choice but to.


    Mo Liuxi curled his lips and was very satisfied, in that case, hurry up and sign your autographs.


    Yan Su had no choice but to silently sign her autographs.


    It did not take too long for the auntie from the Civil Affairs Bureau to bring the form over for them to fill out. When she saw Mo Liuxis age, the auntie said meaningfully, young man, you just passed the legal age for marriage.


    Mo Liuxi curled his lips. Yes, he had just celebrated his 22nd birthday in May. Fortunately, Mo Jin had given birth to him on the seventh lunar year. It was really a good day.


    When the paperwork was handed over and she was about to sign it, Yan Su simultaneously felt a group of people at the side pulling their cell phones to take photos of them.


    She suddenly felt a huge pressure. Wasnt it just a wedding? Why did it seem like it was a live broadcast.


    Susu, hurry up, the bystanders urged.


    Mo Liuxi was also watching her yet he actually did not interrupt them.


    Yan Su was secretly amused and lowered her head to sign the papers.


    A certain Tik Tok veterans live broadcast voice came from the side, just now, Yan Su signed the papers. Lets warmly congratte this couple together.


    Yan Su:


    Why did she feel like they were at the wedding venue.


    After receiving the certificate, before she had the time to have mixed feelings, a warm apuse sounded off from the side.


    About thatThank you, everyone. Lets go. Yan Su really could not stay any longer. She pulled Mo Liuxi and fled in panic.


    But just as they reached the door, they were surrounded by reporters who had rushed over.


    Mo Liuxi protected her as they walked into the car. He did not allow them to take photos, but there were too many onlookers.


    Fortunately, Xiang Wan rushed over and gave the reporters wedding candies. Only then did the two of them get into the car smoothly.


    Oh my God, why is it so tiring to get a certificate? Yan Su let out a long sigh.


    No, I think its quite good. Mo Liuxi yed with the marriage certificate of the two of them. Then, he took a photo and posted on Weibo, from now on, please call me Yan Sus hubby.


    After Yan Su saw it, she also posted: From now on, Im Mrs. Mo


    Mo Liuxi looked at Weibo for a while, then turned his head and whispered, Mrs. Mo


    Yan Su pursed her lips and lowered her head to smile, feeling a little embarrassed.


    Mrs. Mo Mrs. Mo seeing this, he kepting over to her and whispered.


    Mo Liuxi, are you done? Yan Su red at him.


    Im not done, Mo Liuxi held her hand and said, Mrs. Mo, Ill take you somewhere today, but its a bit far. Its a two-hour drive from here to Suzhou.


    Why are we going there? Yan Su thought for a moment and said, are you going to eat Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs? Its not that season right now.


    Mo Liuxi was speechless.


    Was eating the only important thing in her eyes.


    On the way, she received a phone call from Luosang, you two are really high-profile for your marriage.


    Somebody in the family was crazy envious of them. She had said that they were pretentious, but at the same time, she also felt extremely jealous about them.


    I didnt want to, Yan Su smiled bitterly, I dont know how I got recognized even with a mask on.


    Anyway, I wish you all the best, Luosang sincerely wished them the best. How are you nning to celebrate today?


    I dont know. Liuxi said he would take me to Suzhou.

 Chapter 1582. Seeing An Ning again

    Chapter 1582. Seeing An Ning again


    Suzhou? Luosang was surprised. What a coincidence. An Lan seemed to be going to Suzhou today.


    Yan Su was slightly surprised.


    After the call ended, she turned to ask Mo Liuxi, who was driving, Are you taking me to Suzhou because of An Nings affair.


    Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that An Lan was going there as well.


    Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and said, Congrattions, you got it right. I was going to surprise you, but I didnt expect you to react so quickly.


    Yan Su pressed her temple. She was not familiar with An Ning, but this person had been rather ufortable in her past life. Why are you still looking for her? Let bygones be bygones.


    There are no bygones. Mo Liuxis eyes shot out cold and ruthless light, it was because of her that we separated from to a misunderstanding. Thats right, we have reconciled now. However, who will be responsible for the hardships when you just gave birth and I wasnt around? Who was the one who caused Yan Yans early stage of life to not have a father? She was the one who caused all of this. Back then, when I asked the school to expel her, it was already easy on her. To be honest, if she had honestly admitted it back then, at most, I would have taught her a lesson and would have let her go. However, she didnt dare to admit it until the veryst moment. This kind of woman is simply rotten to the core. To be honest, if it wasnt for our deep feelings, if it wasnt because of fate, if it wasnt because of the movie that we filmed a year ago, perhaps we would have separated due to a misunderstanding and never be together again. Yan Yan wouldnt have been able to recognize me as her father.


    Yan Su was at a loss for words. That was indeed the case.


    When she found out what An Ning had done, she was shocked as well. How could such a cute girl acted so shamelessly.


    However, she was already famous and had a bright future ahead of her. She no longer cared about a despicable person like An Ning.


    When they arrived in Suzhou, it was already afternoon.


    Mo Liuxi took her directly to a shopping mall. This shopping mall sold some first- and second-tier luxury goods.


    The two of them found a window seat in a dessert shop on the second floor. From where they sat, they could see all kinds of jewelry shops downstairs.


    Why do you want me to sit here? Yan Su asked.


    Do you want to eat something first? Dont worry. Im the director. Of course, Im going to give you a good show. Mo Liuxi pulled his thin lips weirdly.


    About 20 minutester, Yan Su suddenly saw a man and a woman appearing downstairs. The man was about 40 years old, but his figure was well maintained. The woman was wearing a trendy pink dress, and her hair was dyed bright and beautiful, she was holding a new Burberry bag in her hand, and she was dressed fashionably.


    An Ning?  Yan Su recognized her after a long time. The current An Ning had changed a lot from the past, and she was much more charming. In the past, she was quite innocent and cute in school.


    However, as a woman, she was not surprised. Once a student had entered society, they could change their hairstyle, makeup, and clothes. However, the current An Ning was really wearing branded from head to toe.


    Yes, shes doing very well. Mo Liuxis eyes were full of sarcasm. After we got back together, I asked someone to look for her. However, it took a lot of effort. After all, she did not interact with her former ssmates anymore. I still found her through her parents.


    Yan Su was shocked. didnt An Lan say that no one in her family knew


    I guess her family lied to her. Mo Liuxis lips twitched coldly, she has been living in Suzhou and hasnt studied. She used to work in a bar and probably had a hard time. Her sister didnt provide for her and her parents were limited with resources, so she found a rich married man for herself.

 Chapter 1583. An Nings Retribution

    Chapter 1583. An Ning''s Retribution


    Yan Su looked at him silently, Didnt she like you in the past?


    Do you think the love of a woman who doesnt even have a moral character is worthy of anything? Mo Liuxi chuckled, What she likes about me is nothing more than my moral character, my appearance and my halo of glory.


    I also like these things Yan Su added quietly.


    Mo Liuxi turned around and red at her, I know. Your Mother said that youre judge everything based on looks. She also said that you would follow pretty-looking uncles home when you were in kindergarten.


    Yan Su coughed lightly and lowered her head to drink the dessert.


    To be honest, An Nings personality is a little twisted and extreme, Mo Liuxi snorted and said calmly, when she gave you the photo, she had the mentality that if she couldnt get it, no one else could. Moreover, her family had spoiled her too much. She could get whatever she wanted, and it didnt matter if she did something wrong. She always thought of ways to get money from her family. This kind of person is a scum in society. This could also be seen from fact that she is together with a married man. You can see that shes wearing branded stuff all over. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that shes a mistress. She doesnt even know to be shameful, and she even brought her man to appear on the street in front of everyone.


    Yan Su nodded, thinking that this kind of thing wasmon in society. Everyone was used to it.


    Downstairs, An Ning brought Yue Feng into a jewelry store. The two of them searched inside for a long time when Yan Su suddenly saw a middle-aged woman walking in with a group of people.


    An Ning was wearing a big diamond ring that she had just bought and was hugging and kissing Yue Feng. When she saw the woman who came in, her expression changed, and she hurriedly hid behind Yue Feng.


    Well well well, Yue Feng. Ive apanied you for dozens of years and given birth to your children. What about you? After youve be rich, you actually went to look for a mistress. The middle-aged woman was so angry that her eyes turned red. She pointed at An Ning and rushed forward, You b*tch, Ill beat you to death.


    Bro Feng, protect me. An Ning was so scared that she grabbed Yue Fengs back tightly.


    Zhao Lan, Whats wrong with you? Yue Feng grabbed his wife tightly. Look at you now. Youre like a crazy woman, throwing a tantrum at home every now and then. Youre like a resentful woman. Who Would Like That?


    Thats not what you said when I was young. The middle-aged woman wailed loudly, didnt you just see me as old and decrepit? I didnt want to throw a tantrum either, but you never bothered me all the time. How can I be in a good mood? Dont you just think that Im old and decrepit.


    Yue Feng, my sister has given her everything for you. How did you treat her? Do you think that the He family members are easy to bully? A burly man at the side directly pulled Yue Feng over and gave him a few vicious punches, Dont think youre so great just because you have a few stinky money. Lets see how Ill beat you to death today.


    Yue Feng was beaten ck and blue all of a sudden. The middle-aged woman saw that An Ning had no backer anymore, and in addition to being provoked by Yue Feng just now, she grabbed the fruit knife in the shop and shed it at her face. You Vixen, you are so young yet youre not doing proper business, but youe here to be a mistress. Arent you relying on your face? Ill ruin your face and lets see who would want you in the future.


    An Ning screamed and ran away, but she was no match for the middle-aged woman with a strong body. She dodged left and right but was still shed several times by her knife. Her originally beautiful face was bleeding all of a sudden, and it looked terrible.


    Yan Su, who was sitting on the chair, frowned and stood up. Liu XI, this

 Chapter 1584. An Lan should Noticed that you Are behind This after Calming Down

    Chapter 1584. An Lan should Noticed that you Are behind This after Calming Down


    Since you want to be a mistress, you have to anticipate the consequences  Mo Liuxi crossed his arms without changing his expression, I only sent the photos of the two of them together to his wife. Yue Fengs wife is famous for being hot-tempered and impulsive. What she does is her business. No one can control her.


    Yan Su looked down at An Ning who was screaming in pain, and she felt slightly stifled.


    It wasnt that she sympathized with her, but she just felt that it was quite a pity. She was originally a pretty girl with delicate features. If An Ning had peacefully studied in Ximei and join in the entertainment industry through a proper channel, she might have been able to make a name for herself.


    At this moment, a few security guards from the shopping mall rushed over to separate this group of people. Yue Feng, who was beaten senseless, saw An Ning whose face was covered in blood and was so scared that he sat on the ground.


    Bro Feng, hurry up and help me get revenge. Im in so much pain. An Ning cried out to him for help.


    YouDonte over. Yue Feng hurriedly dodged to the side.


    An Ning was startled. She covered her face and cried out in pain. Her mouth was crying out that she was in so much pain, but no one was willing to go forward.


    An Lan, who had just rushed over, saw this scene and was also quite frightened. She hurriedly called for an ambnce and ran over to help her up. An Ning, what happened? Who did this?


    Sister, my face is ruined, ruined.  An Ning grabbed her hand and screamed hysterically. Hurry up and call the police. Arrest all these people.


    Madam Yue, who was grabbed by the security guard, shouted loudly, A slut like you who is a mistress deserves it. You are her sister, right? How did your parents raise her? My man is almost old enough to be her father, yet she actually went to seduce a married man. Look at the diamond ring and clothes on her hand. Look at how much my hubby spent on her. I saved money for him, but he gave all his money to another woman. I should have killed this adulterous couple.


    Ah Ah Ah Ah! An Ning cried out. Her face was stained with blood, making her look ferocious and terrifying. Its only right that no one likes an ugly old woman like you.


    An Lans brows furrowed tighter and tighter. She nced at Yue Feng, who was hiding at the side and did not dare toe over. She had a rough idea of what was going on.


    Its indeed wrong for my sister to be a mistress. We admit that we did not educate her well, but if you hurt her with a knife, you will be held criminally responsible. An Lan took a deep breath. This was the most frustrating case she had seen in her countless battles, Well proceed with thewful measures.


    Sue her to death, Sue her to death. An Ning roared like she had gone mad. Let me tell you, my sister is awyer. She has never lost a case before. You are a dead meat.


    An Lan looked at her with aplicated look in her eyes.


    Not long after, the police arrived. Those who should be sent to the hospital were sent there while those who should be sent to the police station were sent to the police station.


    On the way back to Xia City, Yan Sus mood was quite heavy. She did not get her revenge happily, nor did she have any sympathy. It was just a pity.


    Should I not have brought you here today? After all, today is the day we get our certificate. Mo Liuxi said when he saw that she was not very happy.


    It is indeed a little bloody, Yan Su said honestly. Did you call An Lan over?


    Someone has to clean up the mess. Mo Liuxi said lightly.


    I think An Lan should know that youre behind this after she calmed down, Yan Su sighed, An Lan helped me in winning Ye Yunyangswsuitst time. She has done a lot of good deeds. It will be difficult for her to be caught in the middle. After all, An Ning is her biological sister. If it werent for An Lan, we wouldnt have reconciled with each other.

 Chapter 1585. He was Really Cute

    Chapter 1585. He was Really Cute


    I didnt ask her sister to be a mistress, Mo Liuxi said calmly, even without me, her wife would have found out about this sooner orter. The truth cant be kept in secret. Besides, just because An Lan had helped me, so I should turn a blind eye and let An Ning continue living afortable life with a rich boss?


    Yan Sus mouth opened slightly, but she could not refute it. In the end, she did not want think about it anymore.


    After driving for a while, Yan Su suddenly felt that something was wrong. This doesnt seem to be the way back to Xia City.


    Yes. Mo Liuxi held the steering wheel and nodded lightly. Were on the way to Yangcheng Lake.


    Yan Su turned around and looked at him speechlessly.


    Didnt you remind me before? I thought that Yangcheng Lake wasnt far anyway, and since youre resting tomorrow, we might as well go there and eat a crab. Since were already here, Mo Liuxi exined without changing his expression, Ive never eaten hairy crabs by Yangcheng Lake before.


    Yan Su had no energy to criticize him. It doesnt seem to be the season to eat crabs yet. The crabs arent sulent enough yet, right?


    Its a good season to eat crabs in September. Its August now. Its only one month away. Mo Liuxis face was full of anticipation. I believe there are big crabs too. Its just that they might be a little more expensive. Money doesnt matter.


    Yan Su could only let him be.


    In the evening, after arriving at Yangcheng Lake, the two of them checked into the hotel and went to eat crabs. Mo Liuxi directly ordered ten of the most sulent female crabs and then boiled a pot of porridge.


    Yan Su could not bear it any longer and posted on Weibo: Wedding anniversary. I thought it was a romantic candlelight dinner. In the end, I drove all the way to Yangcheng Lake to apany the glutton to eat hairy crabs. I am so mad now.


    When she posted it, she also attached a picture of Mo Liuxi eating crabs.


    The onlookers who had just watched them get their certificates in the morning came over to discuss it again.


    Flying Little Swan: Wow, so the aloof director Mo is a glutton. Oh My God, I cant tell. The way he eats crabs is so adorable.


    Long Yiyi: Ahhh, I love eating crabs too. Susu is so happy. Im a fan of director Mos affectionate circle. Director Mo is so cute. Hes so handsome even when he eats crabs.


    Clutching wallet: I dont like eating crabs, but seeing director mo eating crabs, I realized that I fell in love with director Mo and eating crabs.


    In less than a minute, there were more than 10,000ments. The more Yan Su read, the more speechless she became. Could it be that the current fans could not see that she wasining.


    Was Mo Liuxi eating crabs cute?


    She raised her head and looked at a certain man eating crab paste opposite her. His jet-ck eyes were seriously staring at the crab paste in his hand. When he ate it, his face was full of satisfaction. In the end, he sucked the crab paste on his finger with a longing look


    Yan Su:


    Well, although a man should not do this, his face was too handsome and young. He looked really cute.


    What are you looking at? Mo Liuxi raised his head and noticed her gaze. He seemed to realize that his previous action was quite embarrassing in front of his woman. However, the hairy crabs here were too delicious. He could not control himself.


    Eat more. Yan Su pushed the crab in front of her over. She was not very interested in such things.


    Mo Liuxi coughed lightly and exined, Dont misunderstand. My mother taught me not to waste since I was young. There was still some crab paste on my finger just now


    Yan Suughed in her heart. She had eaten with his mother a few days ago. When she left, she had wasted quite a lot of food. Yan Su wanted to pack those up, but his mother said that only through wasting willingly that one could earn more money.

 Chapter 1586. Your Sister also Liked to Suck her Fingers when she Eats Crawfish

    Chapter 1586. Your Sister also Liked to Suck her Fingers when she Eats Crawfish


    However, she did not expose him.


    As a man, there was nothing wrong with being a little cute.


    Your mother taught you well. Yan Su nodded seriously. I think your habit is quite good. I like it very much.


    Really? Mo Liuxi heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he had a problem with sucking his fingers when he ate something he liked. However, he was afraid that Yan Su would think it was too unhygienic, so he had been controlling himself. He might have been too forgetful just now.


    Well, hurry up and eat. Yan Su added in her heart. Your sister also liked to suck her fingers when she eats crawfish. As expected of a family.


    Just as she was thinking about the devil, the devil sent her a Wechat message: Susu, have you guys gone to Yangcheng Lake? Bring me a few fresh crabs as well. They look very sulent.


    They were indeed the glutton siblings. No Wonder Yan Yan had been so gluttonous since young.


    After finished getting the certificate, Yan Su returned to Xia City. Within a few days, she was back at work.


    She was in a good condition. She wore a big diamond ring publicly on her finger. Wherever she went, she was in high spirits. The sweetness of a newlywed could not be hidden between her brows.


    When she received a call from An Lan for an appointment, Yan Su thought about it and arranged to meet her at thepany coffee shop on Sunday. It just so happened that she had to go back to thepany for a meeting with the team on Sunday.


    When she saw An Lan again, she looked a little haggard. Unlike every time she saw her, who usually dressed like a working professional. She was only wearing an ordinary t-shirt and jeans. She was like a fighter who had taken off her armor, revealing her most vulnerable side.


    Im here to ask if there are any traces of you behind An Nings matter. An Lan went straight to the point, her gaze was sharp, That day, I suddenly received a message saying that An Ning was in Suzhou. That text even told me her exact location. I had a bad premonition at that time, but it was still toote when I arrived there. Coincidentally, I saw your Weiboter. You went to Yangcheng Lake that day and were not far from Suzhou. The person who gave me the message was Mo Liuxi, right?


    Yan Su nodded and admitted honestly, We were upstairs that day.


    An Lan clenched her fists and stood up abruptly. Her beautiful face was filled with anger, Yan Su, I know that An Ning ruined your rtionship. She shouldnt have taken advantage of Mo Liuxis drunkenness. She was wrong, so she was publicly dismissed by the school and couldnt go to university anymore. I think she deserved it. I also feel sorry for you, so I took the initiative to be yourwyer. All of your cases in the past half a year


    No matter if its big or small, I personally helped you settle it. I also wanted to atone for her sins, but she shouldnt have thats right, she shouldnt have been a mistress, but now her entire face is ruined, and the cut is too deep. Even if the doctor performs a cosmetic surgery, its impossible for her to recoverpletely. Her face is ruined, and shes acting like shes going crazy every day in the hospital. Shes mentally ill now.


    Yan Su could understand why she was angry. If she was in her shoes, she might have been angry as well, Lawyer An, youre so smart. I also know that youlle to us sooner orter. I really dont know about Liuxis scheme. I only found out at thest moment, but you might not understand that your sister did more than just the bad things you know.


    An Lan was slightly stunned.


    Back then, your sister didnt have sex with Liu Xi at all, Yan Su exined slowly, that night, I slept with Liuxi, and then I ran away. Your sister saw that and sneaked into the room. She then took off her clothes and made Liuxi thought that she had slept with him. After that incident, she used all kinds of excuses to pester him. The most despicable thing she did was sending me the photos deliberately after learning that I was dating Liuxi.

    Chapter 1587. The First Time she Saw this Female Warrior Leaving in SuChapter a Dejected Manner


    An Lan was shocked.


    She had always thought that Mo Liuxi and An Ning had at least slept together.


    How many things had this sister of hers done that she did not know? In the past, An Ning had confidently said in front of her that she had given her virginity to Mo Liuxi, making it sound as if everything she said was the truth. Was it because she was too good at acting, or was it because An Ning had told too many lies and could no longer distinguish what was real and what was fake.


    Yan Su could tell that she really did not know, so she continued, When we were separated, I was already pregnant.


    An Lans heart sank, and she took a sip of the coffee in front of her, slightly at a loss.


    The night An Ning sent the photo to me was Christmas. I was just about to muster up the courage to tell Liuxi the good news, but in the endwhen the show ended, we broke up. And we even broke up with disgust and hatred towards each other. Yan su smiled bitterly, What do you say? Is your sister despicable? She had tried to test the water with Liuxi again and again. She knew that I didnt tell him about our first time, so she tampered with this matter. What kind of mentality does she have? Liuxi told her clearly so many times. He also did not touch her, nor did he promise her anything. Yet, she had the evil intention of destroying the rtionship between the two of us by any means possible. I thought Liuxi had betrayed me, and Liuxi thought I was a fickle woman.


    That child An Lan tightened her grip on her coffee cup.


    Regardless, I gave birth to her. When I found out that I was pregnant, I originally hoped that we would be a happy family of three. However, it only turned out that I had to bear the hardships of pregnancy and childingbouring all by myself. Although Liuxi and I are very happy now, there are some things that we will never forget. When I needed him the most, he wasnt there. He wasnt part of the entire process of the development of the child from an embryo until she was almost one year old. If it wasnt for the time when you identally told me on the phone that An Ning and Mo Liuxi had slept together while they were drunk, I wouldnt have suspected her and this unpleasant knot would forever remain between the two of us. Perhaps we wouldnt have made it today.


    Yan Sus words were simple but powerful, Liuxi hated her in his heart. If it was just what you thought it was, he wouldnt have bothered about it. However, An Ning had never realized her mistake. She ran away because she felt guilty. To be honest, if she could walk the right path, even if Liuxi had found her, he would at most teach her a lesson. However, she became a homewrecker again. She didnt even have a basic moral bottom line.


    An Lan finished the entire cup of coffee in one gulp. There was an indescribable bitterness in her tongue, and she was also embarrassed.


    Im sorry, I shouldnt havee today. After a long while, she said with a hoarse voice.


    Liuxi didnt ask the other party hurt her face. They did it out of hatred and anger. The fuse was in An Nings hands. Yan Su sighed softly, We arent unreasonable people. We can choose to forgive those who know their mistakes and sincerely apologize, but Im also very sorry for those who will never repent


    An Ning brought all this on herself, but as a parent and a sister, we didnt guide her well, so its difficult for us to be excused from the me too. Im very sorry, but thank you for telling me the truth. Goodbye. An Lan took her bag from the sofa and turned to leave. This was the first time that she saw this female warrior leaving in such a dejected manner.


    Yan Su stood up and walked out of the coffee room, walking towards Xiang Wan. I metwyer An just now. Is she looking for you for something?


    I have some issues with her sister, Yan su answered honestly.


    Xiang Wan furrowed her long and thin brows. You mean that An Ning? The one who was a mistress?


    How did you know?  Yan Su was surprised.

 Chapter 1588. Being Materialistic is Addictive

    Chapter 1588. Being Materialistic is Addictive


    We live in the Intes society today, her sister was beaten up as a mistress. At that time, there were even videos taken at the scene. Now, its spreading like wildfire. Xiang Wan sighed, How could such an outstanding person like An Lan, have such a sister? Shes really unlucky. I think its not easy for her to be caught in the middle.


    Yan Su looked puzzled.


    You still dont know, right?  Xiang Wan exined, Nowadays, many people on the Inte are scolding An Ning that what she deserves it. There are even people who say that if this had happened to them, they would have sshed her with acid. The profile of the person An Ning cheated with was also pulled out. His name is Yue Feng. Hes quite capable. He has a technology listedpany and is considered to be very rich. But it is said that he relied on the support of his inws when he was young. His wife followed him during his most difficult times. She gave up her job for him and focused on raising the children at home. She knew that it wasnt easy for her hubby to earn money and was frugal. She was reluctant to spend or splurge on anything. In the end, she didnt expect her hubby to cheat on her.


    Yan Su sighed. Its not surprising. Nowadays, there are many men who abandon their wives who had been through tough times with them after theyve be rich. Thats why women must have their own careers. In addition, they must dress up frequently. If they cant bear to spend their husbands money, it would eventually be spent on other women.


    Thats true. However, what Yue Chuans wife cant ept the most is that Yue Feng spends millions on An Ning every month. Theyve only been together for half a year, and Yue Feng has bought her a luxury car worth millions. He even bought her a house. She also spends excessively on jewelry and cosmetics casually. Its said that she had spent hundreds of millions. His wife had apanied him for twenty years, and her monthly expenditure is only around two thousand. Who can stand it?


    Yan Su was speechless. An Ning is such a spendthrift. In the past, when she was studying in our school, she wasnt so materialistic.


    Being materialistic is addictive, Xiang Wan said disdainfully. But as An Nings elder sister, her own sisters face was disfigured and the matter was blown up. Her reputation was ruined and it was impossible for her to get married. Although she deserved it, she still has to bite the bullet in court.


    Yan Su nodded. Even if An Lan didnt want to fight, her parents wouldnt agree. No matter what, An Ning is still their daughter.


    But the people outside wouldnt understand it that way, Xiang Wan said sympathetically, Now everyone is saying that since An Lan is defending her little sister, she doesnt have correct moral values. With a sister like this, she definitely isnt a goodwyer. It wasnt easy for An Lan to umte a good reputation, and now its all ruined by her sister. I even persuaded her to not fight thiswsuit privately.


    Yan Su was slightly startled. No wonder An Lan looked so weak and tired when she left. If I were An Lan, I would also fight. Legally speaking, being a mistress is not a crime, but hurting someone is a crime.


    Yes, An Lan will definitely win this case, but her reputation in the industry will be tarnished. Xiang Wan shook her head regretfully, She has won many cases, and in the past two years, she has be even more famous. There are many people in the industry who dont like her. In fact, this is just an ordinary case of a mistress. There are many people who have filed cases for a mistress, but this case has be so big that its her younger sister.


    Yan Sus mood was very heavy when she heard this. No matter what, An Lan was a good person. She should not be an immoral person in the eyes of others.


    At night, after Yan Su returned home, she took the opportunity to talk about this matter with Mo Liuxi while he was cooking. I feel that An Lan is quite pitiful. I looked at thements online and many people are scolding her now.

 Chapter 1589. The Wedding was Approaching

    Chapter 1589. The Wedding was Approaching


    You mean the disfigurement of An Ning? Mo Liuxi raised his head and pinched Yan Yans little face in her arms.


    Yan Yan didnt understand, so she stuck her head out and peeked into the pot.


    You know that it has gone viral?


    Yes. Mo Liuxi nodded. When I found out, it had gone viral, and it was pointless to stop it. But now, Xiao Si and the others have already informed the industry and asked them to find a few reporters to guide the direction of the public sentiment.


    Yan Su only heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what he said. No matter what, we dont wish for An Lans good reputation as awyer to be destroyed in an instant. We all know in our hearts whether she is a goodwyer or not.


    Mo Liuxi nodded and patted her head. Dont let your imagination run wild. If you have so much time, you might as well think about the renovation of our house.


    Whatever I want to think about, you will be there anyway. Yan Su smiled sweetly.


    Mo Liuxi looked at her and sighed. He shook his head. Who said that dating an elder girl means that you can be taken care of? You are an exception.


    Yan Su stuck out her tongue. She was slightly looking forward to the wedding in December.


    In winter, Yan Susst concert tour ended in Dalian.


    After a whole year of traveling, she had drawn a perfect conclusion for herself at the end of the year. For the next two years, she would focus on producing new albums and brand-new music. Now, she hadpletely established a foothold in the music industry.


    That night, she took a ne to Macau to participate in this years Golden Song Award Ceremony. Xiang Wan had already received the news that she would be the female singer of the Year award.


    When she arrived at Macau Airport, she sent a video to Mo Liuxi. What are you doing?


    Red Packet. Mo Liuxi used his phone to record the surroundings. He was at Mo Jins vi. Beside him, Yan Yan and Xiao Pingguo were yfully grabbing the red packet.


    Dont talk nonsense. Be careful not to lose the red packet. I wont be able to get married. Mo Liuxi quickly pulled the two little rascals back to his side.


    Yan Su could not help butugh. Liuxi, its been hard on you. After the wedding, Ill apany you on our honeymoon.


    Of course. Mo Liuxi could not wait for the two of them to go on their honeymoon. He had been looking forward to this day for too long. When the time came, she would not be able to get out of bed for three days and three nights.


    However, when he calmed down and thought about it, it seemed a little impossible. Now that Yan Su hadpleted her tour, her stamina was longer than before.


    He could not help but frown. He had neverpletely exhausted Yan Su before.


    Why are you unhappy so suddenly? Yan Su asked with a smile.


    No,e back soon.  Mo Liuxi sighed. Its all because of that Golden Song award. It had to be held on the day before our wedding. Its so boring.


    How is it boring? We sang so hard just to win that award,  Yan Su said happily. Be good. When Ie back with the award, Im going to get on the ne. Bye.


    Then, she added, I love you.


    After saying that, she saw Jiao Jiao sitting next to her with an ambiguous smile. Her face instantly turned red.


    The ne arrived at Macau International Airport. Jiao Jiao went to get her luggage. Yan Su stood in the VIP room and waited. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure walking by the corridor.


    She was stunned for a few seconds before she quickly walked to the door. She saw a woman in a white baseball uniform talking to a handsome man as she walked out.


    Isnt this Jin Yon.


    Yan Su would never forget her back.


    Sometimes, she would even dream about what happened that night.


    Susu, do you know her? Behind her, Jiao Jiao patted her back.

 Chapter 1590. The Casino

    Chapter 1590. The Casino


    Hmm, she looks familiar. Yan Su retracted her absent-minded gaze.


    Jiao Jiao followed her gaze and looked at that woman. In her memory, she had never seen such a person with Yan Su before. Whats wrong? You dont look too well all of a sudden.


    Im too tired. I want to go back to the hotel early to rest. Yan Suposed herself.


    On the way back to the hotel, she was wondering why Jin Yon would appear in Macau at this time of the day. It seemed like Shi Xiang would be attending the award ceremony as well. She wondered if they would bump into each other.


    She took out her phone and hesitated whether she should send Shi Xiang a text message. But after some thought, she realized that Shi Xiang might go to Jin Yon if he was provoked. Although she was not sure of Shi Xiangs current strength, Jin Yon was also not someone to be trifled with, this was obvious from the fact that she had brought along a few bodyguards at the airport just now.


    After checking into the hotel, she rested for a while before heading to the venue to rehearse. She was going to sing a song at the awards ceremony tonight.


    After the rehearsal, Chen Qin, who had worked with her on Asias Top Singer in the past, came over to look for her. Susu, lets go to the casino together. Im sure well meet a lot of familiar faces at the casino today.


    Macau was a small ce, and it was rare to see so many celebrities gathering. Many celebrities hade early in the morning, so it wasmon for them to go to the casino to y a few rounds out of boredom.


    But I dont know how to y. Yan Su said with a smile. Right now, she wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, but it was rude to refuse an invitation from someone else.


    Its okay. Anyway, you have a hubby to support you now, and director Mo is so good at making money. Why are you so frugal? You have to y what you have to. Chen Qin pulled her out.


    The casino was not far from here. The security of such arge ce was very good. Even if a celebrity came in, no one dared to disturb them, not even to take photos.


    When Yan Su and Chen Qin went in, they ran into Guan Yaoyu who came over to greet them. Hi, Susu. Its been a long time since west met, you look even more beautiful after getting married.


    Chen Qinughed. Susu is much younger than you and shes already married. How about you? When do you n to get married?


    I dont have a partner. Guan Yaoyu shrugged. You girls can juste here to have some light fun. Dont spend too much money on this, like the one who came before


    He pointed at the right corner with his chin. That woman brought her lover to y for an hour and lost more than three million. However, Macaus casinos are notcking in rich people, right?


    Yan Su followed his line of sight and looked over. It was Jin Yon, whom she had just seen this afternoon. Sitting beside her was the handsome man whom she had seen earlier. The two of them were holding hands and ying cards. They had lost so much money and were still chatting andughing.


    That woman is Korean, right? Chen Qins eyes were sharp and she could immediately tell. Her entire face has been injected with a lot of things. Eh, isnt that Shi Xiang? Shi Xiang has gone over. Should we go and take a look?


    He regretted it immediately after saying that. After all, Shi Xiang was Yan Sus ex-boyfriend.


    Lets go and take a look. Who would have thought that Yan Su would actually agree.


    The three of them walked over. Shi Xiang and Jin Yon sat opposite each other, and the casino staff in the middle were dealing cards.


    Jin Yon grabbed the cards and smiled. Its been a long time. Shi Xiang, how are you? Oh, an Yan Su, right? Youre here too.


    Yan Su frowned in disgust. It had only been a year since theyst met, and Jin Yons face seemed to have changed again. Her facial features were perfect, but whenbined together, it made her feel ufortable. She even felt disgusted when she spoke to her.


    Susu, you two know each other? Guan Yaoyu was surprised.

 Chapter 1591. Dont Let Director Mo Down

    Chapter 1591. Don''t Let Director Mo Down


    Were more than acquaintances. Jin Yon toyed with the cards in her hand. Weve been friends for many years.


    Yan Su frowned, and her eyes were filled with disgust.


    Stop nagging. Lets y one round. Shi Xiang interrupted coldly. He lowered his head and picked up a few cards on the table.


    The casino staff looked at the two of them and quickly dealt the cards to them.


    Three minutester, Jin Yons malepanion put down thest card and smiled arrogantly at Shi Xiang. Im sorry, I won.


    My dear, youre amazing. Jin Yon kissed her malepanion, she then said to Shi Xiang, Your luck is still as bad as before, and its useless. No wonder your girlfriend ended up with another man, who is the most promising young director. Compared to him, youre too inferior.


    Shi Xiang clenched the card in his hand tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.


    Chen Qin, who was standing at the side, had a bad temper. She could not stand a Chinese man being humiliated by a Korean, Hey, stic surgery girl, watch your mouth. This is Chinas territory. Dont be arrogant here. Its normal for men and women to be on and off. Dont make it sound so bad.


    Jin Yons expression changed when she heard her say the words stic surgery girl, Youre really a bunch of shallow women. stic surgery is a very normal thing in Korea.


    China on the contrary even needs to learn stic surgery techniques from us Korea. What right do you have to criticize me? Arent all the Chinese female celebrities doing the same?


    Yan Su smiled slightly. We call it fine-tuning here. Yours is called face-changing.


    The surrounding onlookers burst outughing. Guan Yaoyuughed especially loudly. Susu, your mouth is really vicious.


    Jin Yon smiled sinisterly. The malepanion beside him stood up and held her hand. My dear, dont bother with this bunch of artists and lower your ss. Lets go.


    Alright. Jin Yon nodded. When she walked past Yan Su, she spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Yan Su, keep your mouth shut in the future. Dont forget what I have in my hands


    Yan Sus expression changed. Jin Yon smiled with satisfaction and left with her malepanion.


    Susu, what did this B*tch say? Chen Qin was really fed up with Jin Yons face.


    Nothing Yan Su nced at Shi Xiang worriedly.


    She saw him suddenly stood up and walked to the side quietly.


    Ill look for you guyster. Yan Su greeted Chen Qin and the rest before hurriedly chasing after him. Shi Xiang, wait a moment.


    The figure in front of them paused for more than ten seconds before turning around. Shi Xiang revealed a faint smile. Susu, Congrattions. Your wedding is happening two dayster, right. I really want to personally congratte you, but I dont think Mo Liuxi will wee me.


    Shi Xiang, Ive said it before. As long as you move on, youll be happy too, Yan Su said sincerely, I hope you can calm down. Now that youve made yourself known in the film and television industry, you can release your records as you wish. Cherish your current life. A woman like Jin Yon will have her own retribution.


    Dont worry, I wont be impulsive. Thank you for your concern. Shi Xiangs eyes shed with a hint of sadness. The woman he loved the most was finally going to wear a white veil and marry another man.


    Are we friends? Weve been ssmates for many years. Yan Sus eyes were full of sincerity.


    Shi Xiang was stunned. Youre right.


    After Shi Xiang left, Chen Qin walked over and patted her on the shoulder. Miss Yan, please dont let director Mo down. Such a cute and glutton hubby like him is hard to find nowadays.

 Chapter 1592. The Netizens Took a Photo of him Eating Kobe Beef alone at Night

    Chapter 1592. The Netizens Took a Photo of him Eating Kobe Beef alone at Night


    Yan Sus mood was originally quite heavy, but after hearing what she said, she smiled.


    How is he cute?


    How is he not cute? The way he eats crabs, Chen Qin clicked her tongue and said, hes so cute. Hes different from the rest.


    Yan Su sweated. Ever since she posted that photo on the day she obtained the certificate, everyone knew that Mo Liuxi was a glutton. After all, he was cold and aloof, but he liked to eat. This action was deeply loved by many women, after that, the photos of Mo Liuxi drinking milk tea, drinking yogurt, waiting in line to buy ice cream, or eating stinky tofu were all posted on the Inte.


    There was once when he went to Kobe, Japan, for a photoshoot. In the end, theizens took pictures of him eating Kobe beef alone at night


    Theizensmented that he was so pitiful, so they tagged her crazily and questioned why she had to control him so tightly that he did not even have any friends.


    It made her speechless. When had she ever controlled him? It was his own bad character that deprived him of friendships, what has it to do with her.


    You have to be careful. Director Mo has quite a lot of female fans now, and I am part of them. Chen Qin said with a smile.


    Yan Su could only smile bitterly. Chen Qin was over 40 years old, so her hubby already had auntie fans.


    The next day, Yan Su slept until 10 oclock in Macau before Jiao Jiao knocked on the door to wake her up. Still sleeping? What time is it? Have you memorized the award eptance lines and award presentation lines?


    Dont worry, it wont be a problem. Yan Su curled up under the nket and yawned. Let me sleep a little longer. Im getting married tomorrow, so I have to get up early in the morning to put on my makeup. I have to rush to Find for my honeymoon the day after tomorrow. Ill definitely be exhausted.


    Jiao Jiao nodded in realization and gave a faint smile. That makes sense. Mr. Mo wont let you get out of bed when its time for your honeymoon.


    Yan Su blushed and was a little embarrassed. It seemed like that would be the case, but she still tried to defend herself, Dont talk nonsense. Were not that kind of people.


    Then may I ask what kind of people are you guys? Jiao Jiao rolled her eyes. Every time hees to visit you, you guys will roll into bed until yourete for work. I can only wait outside quietly.


    Alright, stop talking.


    Yan Su was too embarrassed to continue listening. Im going to get up.


    Hurry up. Ive already discussed it with the organizers. Since youre getting married tomorrow, the ne leaves at 10 pm. I want you to leave as soon as possible after the award ceremony, Jiao Jiao said, Mr. Mo is waiting for you at home.


    Yan Su stuck out her tongue. Theres plenty of time to apany himter. Why are you in such a hurry? Im not going to run away.


    At three in the afternoon, when the makeup artist was putting on Yan Sus makeup, Chen Chen suddenly knocked on the door and rushed in. Yan Su, have you seen Shi Xiang?


    Jiao Jiao frowned and stood up immediately. Hey, Whats wrong with you? Why are you looking for Susu when Shi Xiang is missing? She has nothing to do with him anymore.


    Im really in a hurry. Chen Chen red at Jiao Jiao. Hes going on stage tonight.


    Ive only seen him at the casino yesterday. Yan Su was silent for a while before she turned to Jiao Jiao and the makeup artist. Can you guys excuse us for a moment.


    Susu Jiao Jiao stomped her feet. She couldnt possibly still have feelings for Shi Xiang, right.


    Dont think too much. Yan Su knew what she was thinking and scolded her in a low voice. Im just having a private chat with Mr. Chen. Its not an affair.


    Take it easy. Jiao Jiao sighed and turned around to leave.


    We saw Jin Yon at the casino yesterday, Yan Su said.


    Chen Chens body trembled. I didnt hear Shi Xiang say that.

 Chapter 1593. She Had a Husband and a Daughter

    Chapter 1593. She Had a Husband and a Daughter


    Yan Su was slightly taken aback, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.


    Sh*t, Shi Xiang couldnt have gone to find trouble with her alone, right? Chen Chen revealed a rare look of panic. Has he gone mad? Why must he ruin himself for this woman?


    Youd better go find him first. Yan Su did not want to see Shi Xiang go to jail. After all, he was a victim. If he ended up like this, it would be too tragic, I think Jin Yon has bodyguards with her. It shouldnt be so easy to kill her. Shi Xiang shouldnt be an impulsive person.


    He didnt even pick up his phone. How am I supposed to look for him? Chen Chen smiled bitterly. I think I should look for Jin Yons whereabouts first. I dont think I can attend the award ceremony tonight. I dont even know how to exin it to the organizers.


    Yan Su thought for a while and said in a deep voice, Macau is actually not a big ce, but the management here is very strict. If Shi Xiang really wants to take revenge, he probably wont dare to do it on the surface. Its very likely that


    On the water, Chen Chen interrupted her.


    Yan Su nodded solemnly.


    Ill go ask Jin Yon if she went out to sea, Chen Chen said and left. When he reached the door, he thought for a moment and turned back, Miss Yan, if Shi Xiang kidnapped Jin Yon, I hope that you cane with me to persuade him. Even if I go over now, I cant persuade him. He wont listen to me at all.


    I have to attend the award ceremony in the afternoon, Yan Su subconsciously rejected, Also, I have a wedding tomorrow. What if something happens if I go? Its not like you dont know that Jin Yon is a lunatic. Besides, if things get out of handShi Xiang and I will be aplices.


    Miss Yan, think about the time when Shi Xiang stood in front of you without hesitation. Chen Chen smiled bitterly, What he couldnt ovee wasnt what others did to him back then, but what happened in front of you. You were the woman he loved the most in the past, and others had destroyed all the good things that had happened to him. Now, he was glorious in the eyes of others, but he didnt even have a shred of self-respect in his heart. That night, he didnt sleep the entire night when you announced your affair with Mo Liuxi. He said that Jin Yon destroyed the only hope in his heart, and that was why he spared no effort to take revenge on Jin Yon. But it was useless. He destroyed Jin Yons business in the country, and since he couldnt reach Korea, he decided to do it himself. He wanted to destroy himself to take revenge.


    Yan Sus eyebrows twitched violently.


    The tragic scene that night reyed in her mind.


    As long as you tried to persuade him, Chen Chen said, if its useless, you cane back. Its only two oclock now. The award ceremony is at 7:30. Theres still time.


    Thats easy for you to say Yan Su smiled bitterly. If the reporters manage to capture it, there are reporters everywhere in Macau. Have you forgotten that they managed to capture him and me in the same room?


    Chen Chen was silent for a moment before he nodded. Alright, since you arent willing to help, theres nothing I can do. At most, Shi Xiang will be sentenced with homicide. He will spend the rest of his life in prison.


    After he finished speaking, he left.


    Yan Su sat on the chair in a daze until Jiao Jiao walked in, Susu, what did you guys talk about? Let me tell you, you must stay away from anyone rted to Shi Xiang at this time. In the past, when you and Shi Xiang were involved in a scandal, you werent married. But now, its different. Youre a married woman.


    But were they really going to ignore it? Shi Xiangs life would be ruined.


    Shi Xiang was wrong, but he should not have ended up like this.


    But she was not the savior. She still had a husband and a daughter.

 Chapter 1594. I Want to Tell you in advance that Love you

    Chapter 1594. I Want to Tell you in advance that Love you


    And tonight, there would be her award ceremony.


    At three in the afternoon, Yan Su called Shi Xiang in the bathroom.


    After more than 30 seconds, when she was about to give up, Shi Xiangs voice suddenly came from the phone. Susu


    The sound of the wind could be heard from the phone. Yan Su instantly knew that she had guessed correctly. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Shi Xiang, where have you been? There will be an award ceremony tonight.


    SusuI might not be able to see you win the Best Female Singer Award. Shi Xiangs tone was so gentle that it was almost ethereal. But I think youll definitely shine tonight.


    Shi Xiang, dont joke around. Yan Sus face was ashen. Come back. Its not worth it for Jin Yon.


    Susu, dont worry. This time, Ill definitely make her life a living hell. Ive already made preparations for today a few months ago. Jin Yon will definitely die today. Shi Xiang chuckled, Since I cant send her to prison, I can only do it myself.


    Shi Xiang, listen to me


    Dont say that. Live a good life. Mo Liuxi is very goodreally very good. Actually, that was the life I wanted to give you a long time ago. But in the end, I couldnt give it to you Shi Xiang choked on his words. Goodbye.


    Shi Xiang all she heard was the sound of the phone hanging up.


    She stared at her phone and the conversationsted less than a minute.


    The images of the first time she saw Shi Xiang shed across her mind. Yan Su put away her phone, changed into her casual clothes, and rushed out.


    Jiao Jiao was shocked to see her like that. Susu, why did you


    Jiao Jiao, Yan Su interrupted her, I have to go out, I must go out.


    Jiao Jiao was taken aback by her solemn expression. Where are you going? Ill go with you


    Ill go alone. Wait for me at the hotel. Ill be back as soon as possible. Yan Su took her hat and mask and left.


    She contacted Chen Chen as she walked. Shi Xiang picked up my call just now. Hes at sea.


    Ive already found out that Jin Yon is out fishing with her lover. Shes apanied by four bodyguards, Chen Chen said. Im guessing that Shi Xiang is following them. Im nning to bring some people out and Im currently looking for a yacht.


    Ill go with you, Yan Su said.


    Chen Chen was slightly startled. You


    Although I feel that Ive been implicated in the past, youre right. Shi Xiang is indeed standing in front of me. Hes a victim. If his life is ruined, Ill feel guilty. Ill try my best now. At least Ill be able to live up to you in the future, Yan Su answered frankly.


    Thank you Chen Chen sounded grateful.


    After giving Yan Su the address, she rushed to the pier. On the way, she gave Mo Liuxi a call.


    Why? Do you miss me now? Mo Liuxi teased.


    Liuxi, I miss you. Yan Su panted as she ran. I have something to do. I dont know what the consequences will be, but I also want to tell you that I only love you now.


    In the hotel of Xia City, Mo Liuxi, who was staring at the weddingpanys decorated auditorium, did not feel happy at all. On the contrary, his heart sank subconsciously. Yan Su, why did you suddenly say such things to me? What do you want to do? I forbid you to go.


    I think I might feel guilty if I dont go. Yan Su took a deep breath. Dont worry, nothing will happen to me. Im just afraid of some bad rumors. Im afraid that you wont believe me, so I want to tell you in advance that I love you.

 Chapter 159510. yan Su may be in danger

    Chapter 159510. yan Su may be in danger


    Whose scandal? What are you talking about?  Mo Liuxi was about to go crazy. Dont give me any trouble at this critical moment.


    If I donte back in two hours, you can call the police,  Yan Su said helplessly. But you cant call the police now.


    Hearing her say that she was going to call the police.


    Mo Liuxis heart seemed to be gripped tightly by someone. He was in an unspeakable panic. Susu, what exactly happened? You can tell me. Theres nothing that cant be solved.


    If its my own matter, I dont mind. But the problem isnt.


    Seeing that the pier was in front of her, Yan su said, Ill hang up first.


    Who is it? Tell me,  Mo Liuxi said word by word.


    Im sorry, Liuxi. I promised someone,  Yan su smiled bitterly and said, I have something to do here. Goodbye.


    After saying that, she made up her mind and hung up.


    Mo Liuxi looked at the phone that had been hung up on. He called again, but no one picked up.


    He kicked the dining chair in front of him in frustration.


    Liuxi, whats wrong? Are You Okay?  Luosang walked over with concern.


    Youve always been close to Yan Su. Have you heard anything about her?  Mo Liuxi dragged her to him, She called me just now. It was weird. She said that if she didnte back in two hours, I should call the police.


    Hearing his words, Luosang felt nervous. SUSU has never been a troublemaker. Did she offend someone? Besides, isnt she going to attend the award ceremony tonight? Is she not going to ept the award?


    Mo Liuxi knew that Yan Su valued the award very much. Otherwise, she wouldnt have gone to the ceremony the day before their wedding. Hearing Luosangs words, he couldnt help but call Jiao Jiao, Youre Yan Sus assistant. Wheres Yan Su? She called me just now. She sounded weird.


    SUSU changed her clothes and left in a hurry. I told her that I wanted to go with her, but she wouldnt let me


    How can you be her assistant?  Mo Liuxi was furious. Shes a public figure. Arent you afraid that something will happen to her? She always brings you along on business trips. You should be able to sense something, right? Did anything unusual happen before she left? Did you meet anyone?


    This  Jiao Jiao hesitated. If she said that Chen Chen came to look for her, she didnt know if Mo Liuxi would be furious. She sincerely hoped that this wedding could go on.


    Hurry up and tell me what you have to say. Yan Su might be in danger,  Mo Liuxi gnashed his teeth and said.


    No Way.  Jiao Jiao was shocked. Shi Xus assistant came in a hurry to ask Yan Su where Shi Xu was. After that, Susu asked me to go out. I dont know what she said to Chen Chen, but after Chen Chen Chen left, she became distracted.


    Its Shi Xu again  Mo Liuxis heart turned cold when he heard that. Why did he always hear about her and Shi Xu when he was filled with hope.


    You Dont misunderstand. Susu must love you,  Jiao Jiao hurriedly said. She keeps a distance from Shi Xu every time. Except this time something must have happened. Do you think shes in such a state with your child and even publicly dated you?


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. He suddenly recalled Yan Sus call and his heart softened. Yes, something must have happened to Yan Su. Perhaps it was just like that night.


    Jiao Jiao, think about it carefully. Other than Chen Chen, did susu meet with anything that made her distracted?  Mo Liuxi immediately asked in a deep voice.


    = = = = =


    Im really sorry for updating sote. I really didnt want to update it at first because I wasnt feeling well. I also notified my QQ group that I suddenly got infected with my babys flu yesterday. The flu came too quickly and I couldnt withstand it at all. My fever kept recurring. When I was in the emergency department of the hospital, I almost fainted from the pain, when I came back, I still felt weak all over and my head hurt so much that I couldnt write a draft at all. I just woke up and wrote a chapter, and it wasnt well written either. I hope everyone can understand, especially in this season. The climate is changeable, so everyone should take care of their bodies.


    Its impossible for the flu to get better all of a sudden, but Ill try my best to update it tomorrow.


    Im really sorry.

 Chapter 1596. Go and Ask Chen Qin What Happened at the Casino

    Chapter 1596. Go and Ask Chen Qin What Happened at the Casino


    Jiaojiao scratched her head and was thinking hard.


    Since Yan Su had just arrived in Macau the day before, few things could happen. When I went to get my luggage at the airport, I saw her staring at a persons back. And she didnt look well. This I dont know does it count?


    She said hesitantly.


    Have you ever seen Yan Sus expression like this before? Mo Liuxi asked.


    No, Jiaojiao muttered, I asked her if she met someone she knew. She said that she did see someone who looked familiar, but she didnt talk much on the way to the hotel. She seemed to have a lot on her mind.


    Do you know who she saw? Mo Liuxi asked anxiously.


    A man and a woman, with a few bodyguards. I only saw their backs, but I felt the man was the womans lover. Jiaojiao said. Later, Susu went to rehearse and then went to the casino with Chen Qin. I didnt go with Susu, but she seemed to have something on her mind after she came back.


    All right, go and ask Chen Qin what happened at the casino. Ill take the earliest flight, Mo Liuxi said to her.


    Jiaojiao was startled. But youre getting married tomorrow


    How can I get married if something happens to the bride? Mo Liuxi gnashed his teeth. He had a feeling that Yan Su was hiding something from him, and he must find it out.


    Macau, on the sea.


    Yan Su stood on the yacht and cast her eyes far away. There was a grand awards ceremony tonight, and there werent many people on the sea. After searching for a long time, she still couldnt find Shi Xu and Jin Yons yacht.


    Bro Chen, do we still need to drive further? The young man driving the yacht asked. Normally, we only go this far. If we drive too far away, we might be in danger.


    Lets drive a little further. Chen Chen said and felt a headache. If Shi Xu wants tomit a crime, he definitely wont do it near the sea or at ces with lots of people gathered around.


    Its a little strange. Yan Su frowned. Its not like Shi Xu could control the destination where Jin Yon is heading. Unless Shi Xu arranged his man to Jin Yons side. I remember Shi Xu told me that he had been preparing for it since half a year ago.


    Chen Chen was slightly taken aback. What you said makes sense. There are few people around Jin Yon who remain loyal to her. If you want to arrange people on the inside, you just need to spend some money.


    The man who came to Macau with Jin Yon yesterday was probably arranged by Shi Xu. The more Yan Su thought about it, the more she felt that her spection was close to the truth. Those bodyguards are incapable to influence Jin Yon.


    I had no idea. Chen Chen smiled bitterly. But hes missing, and Jin Yon had an ident. It is just a matter of time that the police wille after him. Hurry up! Go faster. Its been this long, and something might have happened.


    After about ten minutes, they saw a yacht floating on the sea.


    When they drove closer, they saw no one inside.


    Bro Chen, this is the boat that Shi Xu drove. I went to the boat and took a look. The boat was intact, and there was no hint of fight or struggle. The person who came with them reported.


    It seems like they have seeded. Chen Chens brow furrowed. We dont know where they are. The sea is so vast and endless.


    I touched the engine. Its still warm, their entourage said. He should not be far.


    The young man who drove the yacht said, Lets go to the right. The wind is weaker on the right side, and usually that is the choice people will make. Its not safe to go against the wind unless the people on that boat want to risk their lives.


    Chen Chen nodded. Even if Shi Xu wanted to die, the yachts driver wouldnt be as mad as him.

 Chapter 1597. Miss Jin, Havent You Foreseen That You Would Have SuChapter a Day

    Chapter 1597. Miss Jin, Haven''t You Foreseen That You Would Have SuChapter a Day


    After driving for more than 20 minutes to the left, they finally saw a double-decker luxury yacht.


    Looking into the distance with binocrs, they could vaguely see a woman being dragged by a rope on the side of the yacht.


    He really did it. Chen Chen gave the binocrs to Yan Su.


    Yan Su also saw it.


    Jin Yons wrists were tied up, and her body was fixed to the side of the yacht. Being dragged, her lower body was soaked in the water. As the yacht drew closer, they could see Jin Yons terrified face. She no longer looked as arrogant as she used to be.


    In fact, Yan Su felt slightly happy about this. But if it continued, it was only a matter of time before someone died.


    Chen Chen ordered his men to chase the yacht and shouted through the loudspeaker, Shi Xu, stop right there. Look whos here. Yan Su is here.


    The speeding yacht finally came to a stop. Shi Xu came out, in a white shirt and jeans. When he saw Yan Su, his handsome eyes were filled with anger. His hair was tousled by the sea breeze.


    Chen Chen, Why did you bring her here?


    It was my decision toe here. Yan Su nced at Jin Yon who was on the verge of death. Worry shed across her eyes.


    Shi Xu was slightly taken aback, and a trace of expectation slowly seeped out of his eyes. Susu, you


    Dont misunderstand. I just feel that what happened back then had something to do with me, Yan Su said after some thought. If I had broken up with you earlier, I might not have gotten involved in the aftermath, and you wouldnt have be a victim. Actually, we should have broken up when you went to Korea.


    Shi Xu smiled bitterly. So that was what she was thinking.


    Save Save Me. Jin Yon looked at Yan Su as if she had seen her savior. She spoke weakly, Yan Yan Su


    Yan Su couldnt help but say in disgust, Do you still remember how you kidnapped me and how I begged you? Miss Jin, you have done so many terrible things in your life, and you never left any leeway for others. Havent you forseen that you would have such a day? Theres a saying in China that even a rabbit will bite when its desperate.


    Jin Yon lifted her head and covered half of her face with her messy hair. She panted helplessly. Yes Yes, but youre public figures Im afraid You wont end up well using such methods.


    Shut up. Im the one who did this. It has nothing to do with Yan Su, Shi Xu said coldly.


    Jin Yonughed bitterly. From the moment she set sail its impossible for her to be innocent


    Shi Xu clenched his fists. Chen Chen, take Yan Su away immediately. If the police ask about this afterwards, just tell them that you didnt find me. Just tell them everything that happened before. Anyway I dont care about anything anymore after I took revenge.


    What about your parents? Yan Su interrupted, Shi Xu, shes not dead yet. Its not toote to reconcile. Youve taught her a lesson today. Dont put yourself in danger. If we want to punish someone, we have to find evidence and letw punish them. Ive never felt disgusted by you because of that incident. On the contrary, I felt that you were quite responsible at that time. It was the only time I felt that you were responsible in all the years weve been together. But at that time, I was already in love with Mo Liuxi. If not, I might forgive you and consider starting over with you.


    Shi Xu was stunned. Susu, you didnt lie to me, did you?


    All this time, he had been living under the shadow of that incident. But what he couldnt ept the most was that Yan Su had witnessed it with her own eyes.

 Chapter 1598. Ive Done my Best

    Chapter 1598. I''ve Done my Best


    I didnt. Yan Su shook her head and looked at the time. It was already five oclock. I came here today to advise you because I feel that were ssmates and weve fallen in love before. Although youve gone down the wrong path, you have a good nature. Its hard to overstate the heinous crimes Jin Yon hasmitted. So its not worth it to risk your life for a woman like her. If you insist on doing this and making mistakes again, then I cant do anything about it. I have to leave in a moment because I need to go to the awards ceremony tonight, and Im getting married tomorrow. Ive done my best.


    Yes, youre getting married. The sorrow in Shi Xus eyes was like a withered cherry blossom.


    Your life is in your own hands, Yan Su said gravely.


    Jin Yon hurriedly said, Shi Xu, let me go. I I promise I wont hold a grudge against you for what happened today. Lets call it even and move on.


    She was an arrogant person, but the more arrogant a person was, the more scared they would be when they encountered horrifying things.


    Previously, she was almost killed by Shi Xu on the yacht. However, Shi Xu felt that killing her was too good for her, and he wanted to torture her slowly. Fortunately, Yan Su came over at this time.


    Even? Shi Xu pulled the rope forcefully, and his eyes were filled with hatred. The things you did to me will never be even. Jin Yon, a person like you should be thrown into the deep sea to feed fishes.


    Even if you kill me, youll end up in jail, Jin Yon shrieked.


    Chen Chen also tried to persuade him. Shi Xu, this is Macau. When you came here, there were CCTV cameras. You wont be able to escape. Now, you have everything you need, fame and money. Miss Yan also said that she had never looked down on you.


    Yan Su nodded and said earnestly, Shi Xu, everything is up to you.


    After that, she turned to Chen Chen and said, Its time for me to go back. Please take me back. I think you should leave as soon as possible. Staying here wont benefit us at all. I think youve done your best as his agent. Theres no need for you to sacrifice the rest of your life for him. We all have other responsibilities.


    Chen Chen was a little helpless, but he knew that Yan Su had a point.


    Other than friendship, for the benefit of the future, it was better for Chen Chen to persuade Shi Xu.


    Shi Xu, lets go. Jin Yon wouldnt dare to make a big deal out of this unless she wants others to know that she has kidnapped someone before. If she does that, she will nevere back to Korea. Chen Chen coldly nced at Jin Yon.


    Jin Yon nodded vigorously. Yes, I wont tell other people. I definitely wont say it.


    Shi Xus eyes shed with hesitation. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded fiercely when his eyes met Yan Sus gentle gaze.


    Chen Chen and Yan Su both heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly got someone to pull Jin Yon onto the yacht.


    Jin Yon had no idea how long she had been in the water, and her entire face was pale. Her bodyguards were also tied up under the yacht. It seemed like they had been drugged. The handsome man that Jin Yon had brought along earlier was lyingfortably on the sofa and drinking red wine. When he saw them enter the room, he was puzzled. s, Jin Yon was not dead in the end?


    Han Shen! Jin Yon roared in anger. She wanted to eat him alive. If she hadnt been deceived by him and fallen into his trap, she wouldnt have been caught by Shi Xu and almost lost her life.


    Hey, why are you being so fierce? Shi Xu was willing to give me one billion, so of course Id love to sell you. Will you give me one billion? Han Shen sneered, Your Jin family is a bunch of capitalists and exploiters. Not only do you want to sleep with us, but also you want to suck us dry.


    Yan Su, who was following behind them, suddenly realized that it was true.


    With one billion yuan, he could escape to any country. Jin Yon really had nothing to do with that.

 Chapter 1599. Hurry Up And Get Out

    Chapter 1599. Hurry Up And Get Out


    I wont let you off. Jin Yons eyes were bloodshot, and she wanted to devour Han Shen alive.


    Hey, you said youd protect me. Han Shen immediately looked at Shi Xu. If anything happens to me, Ill reveal what happened today.


    Youve got the money. Once youre ashore, you can flee away, Shi Xu said, his face expressionless.


    Thank you, Han Shen whistled.


    Yan Su heaved a sigh of relief as this matter came to an end. It was best if she could persuade him. Then the trip was not in vain. In the future, she and Shi Xu would be square. She was done with him.


    On the way back from the yacht, she took out her phone that had been set to silent mode. She saw that Mo Liuxi and Jiaojiao had called several times. She wanted to call them back, but she realized that there was no signal.


    Her heart skipped a beat. She had said that if she didnt contact Mo Liuxi in two hours, he would call the police. However, she didnt expect the yacht to sail so far away.


    It hadnt been two hours yet. She should find a signal if the yacht was slightly closer to the shore.


    However, after less than ten minutes, the yacht was tossed higher and higher by the waves.


    She grabbed the table with all her strength to be seated. Jin Yon wasnt that lucky. Because she was tied up, coupled with the fact that she didnt have any strength after being tortured, she was directly thrown to the ground.


    She cried out in pain and scolded weakly, Do you know how to drive a boat?


    Its none of my business. The waves are quite big, and this ce is too far away from the shore. Usually, we wouldnt drive the yacht so far away. If it werent for you guys willing to pay more, I wouldnt have sailed at all, the yachts driver turned around and said anxiously. Hurry up and close the windows.


    Seeing the water sshing onto the windows, Chen Chen couldnt help but say, Didnt you say that there were no waves on the route that we came from?


    Well, I dont know. The weather is weird now and it changes without warning. The yachts driver was also annoyed. Its due to the great ecological damage. How can the current weather bepared to the past?


    Alright, dont distract him. Shi Xu subconsciously sat in front of Yan Su and held her tightly.


    Jin Yon groaned for a long time while no one was willing to help her stand up.


    After another five minutes, everyone on the yacht was lifted up. All the people on the yacht, in their life jackets, looked serious.


    The yacht that Yan Su and Chen Chen rode before was in no better condition.


    Shi Xu gripped the table tightly, and his body was trembling. He regretted kidnapping Jin Yon. If anything happened to them, it would be terrible.


    Quick let go of me. Jin Yon was also afraid.


    Yan Su nced at her and rushed over. She grabbed the scissors on the table and helped her cut the rope.


    Susu Shi Xu frowned. It was at this moment that a wave pushed the yacht to the side.


    Everyone inside screamed.


    Its going to capsize. Hurry up and get out, the pilot shouted and took the lead to escape from the door.


    For a moment, everyone was scrambling to escape. No one cared whether they were friends or not. Running for life was the only thing that mattered, and Yan Su was no exception. A huge wave of water poured into the yacht, and she choked several times. The waves made her almost ck out, and for a moment, she thought that she was going to die.


    Susu, hurry up. Shi Xu pulled her and pushed her out. It wasnt easy for her to get out of the water, and the waves came one after another.


    Over here! Help! Chen Chen waved at the yacht behind him.

 Chapter 1600. How Did Yan Su Become a Victim

    Chapter 1600. How Did Yan Su Be a Victim


    The yacht behind them wanted to sail over, but it was quickly pushed further away by the waves. In the end, they were getting further and further away.


    F *ck! Chen Chen was so angry that he pped the water hard. Shi Xu, what the F * CK is wrong with you? Why did youe to the sea to kidnap someone, and ran


    Before he could finish his sentence, he waspletely drenched by a wave.


    Han Shen was also cursing. If I had known that I was going to die, I would have given up on the billion.


    Help help Jin Yon pped the water with all her strength. She wasnt wearing a life jacket.


    Everyone looked at each other. No one wanted to go and save her. After all, they were in the middle of the sea, and they couldnt even protect themselves. Saving someone would only implicate themselves.


    Finally, when Jin Yon was about to sink, a figure quickly swam over and pulled her out of the water.


    Yan Su was astonished. It never urred to her that Shi Xu would save Jin Yon. To be honest, she had given up on the idea of helping her. She wasnt that great, and she wanted to live. She had parents, children, and a husband.


    Shi Xu looked at Jin Yon, who was barely alive, and his eyes were filled with disgust. He really wanted her to die, and he wanted her to die immediately. But the moment she sank, he suddenly knew how it felt to see someone die.


    Susu was right. It wasnt worth it to kill someone like her.


    But it was toote for him to understand.


    He thought about suicide in the past, but at this moment, he realized that he was afraid of death.


    Yan Su was also afraid of death.


    The waves made her dizzy. At that moment, she thought of many people and many things.


    She was getting married the next day, but she was going to miss the wedding forever.


    Mo Liuxi had once given her a photo of him in his wedding clothes. She said he was very handsome, and he was really handsome. If she wished to be with him, never would she have the chance.


    Her eyes became more and more muddled, and everything in front of her was spinning.


    Mo Liuxi just got off the ne. The first thing he did was turn on his phone, but he didnt receive a call from Yan Su. Thinking of her words, he was about to call the police when urgent news popped up on his phone.


    A storm had urred on the coast of Macau and overturned a yacht. The victims were suspected to be popr singers Shi Xu and Yan Su


    In the evening at the airport, his legs were a little bit stiff and he couldnt stand properly. His eyes were fixed on the news, and his mind was nk.


    He felt he was still on the ne. When he was descending, his mind was buzzing and it was painful.


    How did Yan Su be a victim?


    She was preparing to be his bride.


    Now, he couldnt care less about why Yan Su and Shi Xu were together. His fingers trembled as he searched for the constes number. I want to ask about the yacht that was overturned on the sea. Who are the victims? I heard that Yan Su and Shi Xu are involved


    Youre a reporter, right? Im sorry, I cant answer this question. However, the Coast Guard has recovered the bodies. We dont know how many people have died so far.


    Im not a reporter, Im fam Before Mo Liuxi could finish his sentence, the phone had already hung up.


    He felt a chill run down his spine. After a moment of quivering, he suddenly rushed out of the airport in a frenzy.


    Half an hourter, when he arrived at the hospital, the entrance was crowded with reporters.


    Previously, many reporters had arrived in Macau waiting for the awards ceremony, but they didnt expect such shocking news.


    Yan Su and Shi Xu had died at sea together. This could shock the entire entertainment industry, especially considering the fact Yan Su was getting married tomorrow.

 Chapter 1601. Wake Up Right Now, Or Ill TeaChapter You a Lesson

    Chapter 1601. Wake Up Right Now, Or I''ll TeaChapter You a Lesson


    What did this mean?


    It meant that the old lovers who had broken up were dating again on the eve of the brides wedding, but unfortunately, they encountered a rogue wave.


    Now, the media wanted to know if they were killed or not, as well as the true purpose of ttheir trip on the sea.


    Get out of my way, Mo Liuxi pushed through the crowd and rushed in like he was mad.


    Its Mo Liuxi, Mo Liuxi.


    Someone recognized him quickly.


    The microphones were pushed towards him frantically.


    Mo Liuxi, do you know that your wife and Shi Xu are secretly together?


    Are they having an affair?


    Are you angry now


    A series of words were like cannonballs. Mo Liuxis eyes were red as he grabbed a microphone and smashed it onto the ground, All of you shut up. My wife had an ident. All you reporters know is gossip. You dont know anything because it wasnt your family who had an ident. Let me tell you, Yan Su didnt do anything wrong to me. Before she boarded the yacht, she even called me to tell me about it. If you ask any more questions, Ill tear your mouths apart.


    His hostile eyes were like those of a beast that was about to break down. He red at the people who recognized him. The reporters were a little scared and did not dare to utter a word.


    Go away. Mo Liuxi pushed himself out of the crowd and rushed into the hospital.


    A nurse who was guiding the patients stood at the door. He grabbed her clothes and shouted, Wheres Yan Su? She is one of the people injured in the capsized yacht who have been sent over here tonight.


    The nurse opened her mouth.


    Dont tell me shes dead. Before she could speak, Mo Liuxi continued shouting, Even if shes dead, you have to pull her back from the Grim Reaper.


    The nurse was frightened by him and trembled. I I dont know. She was sent here not long ago, and the doctors are trying to resuscitate her. I dont know if shes still alive.


    You mean she shes not dead. Mo Liuxis eyes trembled as he saw hope. Didnt the news say that she was a victim?


    Several people have been taken to the hospital, but I havent heard anyone of them was already dead, the nurse said honestly. You can go up and ask


    Before she could finish her sentence, the nurse was pushed away as the figure ran inside quickly.


    She heaved a sigh of relief. Although there were many people who pretended to be family members to acquire information, one could tell by their eyes whether they were real family or not.


    While Mo Liuxi was searching around the hospital, he bumped into Jiaojiao who wasing out of a ward on the third floor.


    Where is Susu? Mo Liuxi felt relieved when he saw her calm face.


    Shes inside. I was just about to call you, Jiaojiao said. She choked on a lot of water. Fortunately, she was rescued in time. But she is still in aa right now.


    Mo Liuxi took a long, deep breath. Only then did he realize that his legs had been shaking all this time. He felt like his heart that had been hanging in mid-air was calmed down, and he finally found his breath.


    His arms trembled as he pushed open the door. He found that there were two beds inside, both of which were upied by patients. Yan Su was lying on one of the beds. Her delicate little face was pale from almost drowning herself. He reached out his hand to feel for her breath. Knowing that she was still breathing, he held her hand tightly.


    Yan Su, why do I Like a woman like you? He stared at her hatefully, his tone bitter. Youre about to get married, and you still caused a lot of trouble. Do you really want me to beat you up? Wake up right now, or Ill teach you a lesson.


    In her sleep, Yansus eyshes did not tremble. But her hand that he was holding seemed to gain some strength and gently held his hand back.

 Chapter 1602. A Person Like Him Must Be Drowned

    Chapter 1602. A Person Like Him Must Be Drowned


    Mo Liuxi immediately felt it. He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. His heart hurt, and he was terrified.


    Mr Mr. Mo, Im sorry, Jiaojiao said apologetically. Its all because of me. I didnt look after her well so that something like this happened to her.


    You did nothing wrong. Mo Liuxi looked feebly and felt a little lonely. Susu can be like this sometimes. I wonder what secrets she and Shi Xu are keeping from us


    Then, heughed bitterly. Oh right, did Shi Xu die? A person like him must be drowned.


    Jiaojiao saw the look of expectation on his face. Her mouth twitched. No


    What? Mo Liuxi stood up in anger. Was he not on the sea? He encountered rogue waves that sounds dangerous. Its already so dangerous, why cant he die? What exactly is he made of? Is he made of a life buoy?


    Jiaojiao felt embarrassed and said softly, Mr. Mo, please lower your voice. Its not good if people hear you. There are other people here. You just cursed him.


    Mo Liuxi sneered. I am cursing


    His tone paused when he noticed that there was a woman lying on the side. Judging from her skin, it seemed that she had also been in the sea, Who is she? Why is she in the same ward with Yan Su? How couldnt my girl stay in an individual VIP room? Arrange a private room for me immediately.


    There are not enough rooms right now, Jiaojiao said helplessly. There are more than ten people who have been sent here from the ident. This floor is fully upied, so for the time being, we have to share the room with this woman. We dont know her identity yet. But she should have been on the yacht at that time.


    Mo Liuxi scrutinized Jin Yons face carefully. She had such exquisite facial features that no imperfections could be found on her face. However, when all her features werebined together, her face didnt look as natural and fair as Yan Sus. Besides, after drowning, her entire face appeared very stiff, Is this apletely stic surgery face? When did Yan Su know a person of this kind?


    Ive never seen her before. Jiaojiao sighed. But her wristwatch seems to be quite expensive. It is worth several million yuan. She should be from a wealthy family.


    The more Mo Liuxi thought about the ident, the more he felt strange about it. If there was really something between Shi Xu and Yan Su, only the two of them should have been there. Why was a woman there? She didnt look like an assistant or a servant. Who else were there?


    Im not too sure about that. Jiaojiaos phone rang after she finished speaking. Whenever she saw the phone, she would have a headache. She took it out to the balcony, Sister Xiang Please dont ask me I really dont know what shes going to do I cant do anything about thements online. We should wait until she wakes up She definitely wont be able to attend the awards ceremony the award has to be canceled thats not good


    Mo Liuxi realized instantly that since Yan Su and Shi Xu had an ident together, the reporters must be making wild guesses and writing nonsense. In fact, it made sense that people thought this way. Last year, the two of them spent a night in a hotel for an imusible reason And this year, Yan Su went to meet her ex-boyfriend on the eve of their wedding


    It was presumed that he must have been cuckolded.


    To be honest, even if he bothered to exin everything to the public, they might not choose to believe it. Yan Su and Shi Xus careers would be ruined, and their fans would no longer follow them. Xiang Wan must definitely be frantic right now.


    Ten minutester, the police arrived to investigate. Yan Sus identity was quickly confirmed, and her passport wasplete. But when the police turned to Jin Yon, the police took a long time finding her departure records. Oh, so this is Jin Yon, the daughter of the President of South Koreas SL Entertainment Company.

 Chapter 1603. I Must Get Married. I Must Get Married

    Chapter 1603. I Must Get Married. I Must Get Married


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. He felt that the name of thepany sounded familiar to him. Jiaojiao was surprised and said, Isnt SL Entertainment thepany that Shi Xu signed in Korea?


    Mo Liuxi frowned. What were the three of them doing there?


    Jiaojiao found it hard to ept. Could it be that Susu is nning to leave for Korea? But it cant be. I heard that the agency in Korea is very demanding


    No way. If she wanted to leave, she would definitely tell me, Mo Liuxi rejected her tly. He ignored her and directly asked the police, Hello, Im Yan Sus husband. Have you confirmed who else were in the ident?


    Almost, except for a few others but I think we have figured it out. The police officer saw Mo Liuxi was a family member and didnt intend to hide anything from him, Shi Xu, Chen Chen, the driver, and seven bodyguards. Some of them are local, and three of them are from Korea. The one who drowned should be brought here by Jin Yon. There was also a Korean celebrity, Han Shen, but he is not a pop star.


    Mo Liuxi found it very suspicious.


    They are really lucky, The police sighed. Fortunately, at that time, a yacht passed by and witnessed the ident. It immediately sent a distress signal to nearby ships. Luckily, the life guards were nearby and came in time. These celebrities really shouldnt have driven so far on the sea. Usually, no yacht will drive so far away. No one should travel merely for excitement in such a way.


    Mo Liuxis heart was heavy when he heard that. My wife is not someone who likes to seek excitement.


    The police looked at him with aplicated expression and suddenly smiled. That might not be the case. This ident is not a simple case of having fun on the sea. It might be a kidnapping and extortion case.


    How is that possible? Jiaojiao denied loudly.


    The police officer pulled Jin Yons nket and pointed at her wrist. There were circles of marks on her arm that showed that she had been tied up. Look, look. When the life guards pulled her up, they found that her hands had been tied up. I also asked the doctor. Her legs, as well as her upper-body, were all injured. She seemed to have been tortured before, so its very likely that she was kidnapped and beaten. However, we cant sort out exactly what happened unless she wakes up. The Korean bodyguards did not wear life jackets when they were rescued, but they are good at swimming. The doctor has detected drug in their blood. One of them drowned himself probably because he was overdosed. When the boat capsized, he woke up toote to save himself from drowning.


    Mo Liuxi and Jiaojiao were shocked.


    The yacht is being salvaged now, the police said seriously. I hope we can salvage it and find something. Oh, right, weve checked Shi Xus bank ount. An hour and a half ago, he transferred one billion yuan to Han Shen through his Swiss bank ount. Anyway, the case has already been assigned to the Special Task Force. These rted people cant leave Macau for the time being.


    Mo Liuxi found it hard to ept and was furious. Come on. What does this have to do with my wife? Were going back to Xia city tomorrow to get married.


    Shes on the yacht, the police said. After all, we have to find out what happened. And this matter involves other countries. Jin Yon is a person of importance.


    The police left, Mo Liuxi was so angry that he kicked a chair in the ward and smashed a cup.


    Jiaojiao advised him, but he shouted, I must get married. Do you understand? I must get married.

 Chapter 1604. Its Good to See You Again

    Chapter 1604. It''s Good to See You Again


    After shouting, he felt indignant and ran to Yan Su, who was unconscious. Yan Su, wake up and get married with me immediately. Who told you to meet Shi Xu? How can the wedding continue Why arent you waking up? Dont you understand me? I want to get married.


    Jiaojiao was speechless.


    She felt that Mo Liuxi was like a stubborn maniac. All he wanted to do was toplete the wedding ceremony.


    Mr. Mo, you are disturbing her She stammered. After all, shes a patient.


    I dont care. If you cant go back, then lets go to a Macao Church and get married. Mo Liuxi kicked the table in frustration. Were getting married tomorrow anyway.


    Jiaojiao:


    The media had spread unbearable rumors about it. It was really incredible that he could still insist on getting married. To be honest, Xiang Wan had previously told her to keep Mo Liuxi under control. If Mo Liuxi really said something unfavorable to Yan Suu at this moment, she would never be able to turn things around.


    But she didnt expect that she didnt even need to say it.


    She looked at Yan Su and sighed.


    Susu, if you dont cherish him in the future, even I, your assistant, will not follow you. She thought.


    During this period, Yan Lv also called to ask how Yan Su was doing. They nned to fly to Macau immediately.


    Mom, dad, please donte here. Mo Liuxi hurriedly said, The doctor said that Susus life is not in danger and she should be waking up soon. You two dont need toe here. Ill take good care of Susu.


    Liuxi, Im really really sorry. Yan Lv had seen the news online. Everyone was specting that his daughter was having an affair with Shi Xu, but Mo Liuxi still took care of her without hesitation.


    When he first met Mo Liuxi, he didnt like him. But now, he felt deeply ashamed. Its my fault failing to educate my daughter well. Susu is not worthy of you


    No matter what the reasons were, his daughter shouldnt have gone to see her ex-boyfriend the day before their wedding.


    Dad, dont say that. I feel that the truth isnt very clear right now. I shouldnt specte about Susu like the people outside, Mo Liuxi answered bitterly. If it was in the past, he would also think that way, but so many things were ced in front of him. There were suspicious points, and he should try to believe his wife who was going to be with him for the rest of his life.


    Liuxi Yan lv was so touched that he didnt know what to say. Dad really didnt know you very well in the past


    Please dont say that. You can wait at home peacefully. Mo Liuxiforted them for a while before hanging up the phone.


    It was not until 8:30 pm that Yan Su moved slightly.


    Mo Liuxi quickly went over. Her ck eyshes slowly shook up, and her eyes were lost and wandering. Finally, she focused on Mo Liuxis face. Liu Xi


    Susu, youre awake. Mo Liuxi held her hand, surprised and escted. How are you feeling?


    IIm not dead, Im still alive Yan Su felt the temperature of his palm and held it back with force, but her voice was very dry, as if it did not belong to her.


    Yes, youre not dead. Mo Liuxi quickly held her up and let her lean against his chest.


    Yan Su was still very ufortable. She closed her eyes and leaned against his chest for a while before she recalled everything that happened at the sea. At that time, she really thought that she was going to die.


    She choked on a lot of water and was dizzy from the waves. If it were not for her life jacket, she would have drowned.


    Liuxi, its good to see you again.

 Chapter 1605. Do You Love Us Or Not

    Chapter 1605. Do You Love Us Or Not


    Mo Liuxi sighed and lowered his head to kiss the tears at the corner of her eyes.


    He rested his chin on her forehead and held her cold little face with one hand.


    Susu, I really dont know what to say to you. I even want to beat you up. How old are you? Why do you always make people worry so much? Tell me, theres an awards ceremony tonight and were getting married tomorrow. Why do you want to go to the sea and go so far away? Mo Liuxis face was tense, and he sounded annoyed. Have you ever thought about Yan Yan and me? Do you love us or not?


    Im sorry Yan Su felt even more ashamed after hearing his words. I didnt expectthat there would be rogue waves


    It is not what I wanted to hear. You shouldnt see Shi Xu. Mo Liuxi let go of her and stood up. He didnt suspect that she had betrayed him, but he was still angry, Shi Xu, Shi Xu, I really dont understand why he keeps meddling between the two of us. No matter how happy we are, he wont leave us alone. Thest time we dated, you spent the night in a hotel with him. This time, you went to see him again the day before the wedding. Susu, its eight oclock now. It should be the time for the awards ceremony. Do you know that you were supposed to be the female lead tonight, but now theres a scandal? Its a scandal. You are the one who announced to the world that we are dating, and then you got into trouble with another man. Now, besides me, no one believes you. Your award has been canceled. I dont know how youre feeling right now, and I dont understand you either. Really, I dont understand at all.


    As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the ward.


    Yan Sus mind went nk when she saw him like this.


    She didnt really care about the awards, but what she cared about was his emotions. She knew that she had hurt him in the end.


    Was she wrong? She shouldnt have left.


    She should have let Shi Xu destroy himself. It didnt matter to her whether he broke thew or not. So what if he felt guilty? Who in this world wouldnt feel guilty?


    Mo Liuxi saw that she was silent, and he stopped. He looked at her wearily, and his throat was hoarse. Susu, theres no need to tell you how terrible the situation is. Youre a public figure, and you dont have to give me any exnation. But you have to give the media an exnation. If you dont exin clearly, your careerwill be over.


    Every word he spoke was like a thunder to her.


    Yan Su covered her head. Her head was flooded by water, and she felt very painful.


    Also Mo Liuxi continued with a wry smile, Youre now on the polices kidnapping list. You cant leave Macau right now. The wedding that I prepared is over.


    Yan Sus face instantly turned pale.


    Mo Liuxi pointed at the woman on the hospital bed, When you were rescued, this woman was discovered with marks of abuse. Shes the daughter of SL Entertainments president. You should know that a special task force is assigned to investigate this. Yan Su, youre really incredible. What did you do behind my back?


    Yan Su nced sideways at Jin Yon and was stunned. She Shes not dead yet


    What did you do to her? Mo Liuxi enunciated each word clearly. Yan Su, at this point, you can only leave Macau with me tomorrow if you tell me what happened. Dont even think about hiding it. The police are smart.


    Yan Su held her head in pain. After a while, she mumbled, I didnt do anything to her. Shi Xu kidnapped her. Theres something personal between them. I only know that Shi Xu kidnapped her, and I went over to tell Shi Xu not to kill her.

 Chapter 1606. For the First Time, She Realized that He Was So Far away from Her

    Chapter 1606. For the First Time, She Realized that He Was So Far away from Her


    Mo Liuxi was not too surprised by this answer.


    The daughter of the president of Shi Xiangs ex-agencypany. In addition, there was a rumor that Shi Xu had slept with his daughter before he was able to rise to the top in Korea. This woman must be Jin Yon.


    The two of them have a personal grudge. What has it got to do with you? Why are you going to join themotion?


    But from a personal point of view, he was really dissatisfied with this answer and was hurt again.


    Yan Su struggled to raise her head and saw the feeling of hurt rippling in his eyes.


    Her heart ached. BecauseShi Xiang had helped me beforeI


    Mo Liuxi lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in his eyes.


    Shi Xiang helped you, but didnt I help you? Heughed self-deprecatingly. His restless heart seemed to have fallen into the dust, Before we boarded the yacht, you said that you loved me. You even said that if I couldnt contact you after three hours, I should call the police. This means that you knew that you were in danger, but you still went. Susu, maybe you love me, but do you still love Shi Xiang deep down in your heart


    Yan Su was stunned. When she saw his disappointed and dejected look, she panicked. No


    Let me finish, Mo Liuxi interrupted her, Ever since we had gotten the marriage certificate without any grudge today, Ive always thought that you loved me because you gave birth to Yan Yan for me. But when I think about it, is it because Im Yan Yans father that you treat me differently? Could it be that you think the child needs a father? Perhaps, if Yan Yan is Shi Xiangs child, you will return to his side


    He raised his head and was at a loss. He had tried his best to ept this rtionship. He had even thought that the child was Shi Xiangs. But why was it that Shi Xiang could always appear between the two of them.


    Yan Su looked at his dreary yet handsome face and shook her head vigorously.


    For the first time, she realized that he was so far away from her.


    Thest time they broke up at Christmas, they had a huge argument and hurt each other. It was painful and disappointing.


    She could see the hatred in his eyes.


    But this time, it was not the same. He was just frustrated and at a loss.


    This made her even more afraid.


    Liuxi, when I went there, I didnt think it would be so dangerous,she said with a lump in her throat. I told Chen Chen that I would only go there to persuade him. If he doesnt give up, we will leave. I owe him. I really do. Last year, on that night, he helped me once


    Just because he helped you once, youre willing to risk everything? Your own career and husband. Mo Liuxi waved her hand away. I dont understand. Its not because he helped you, its because hes also the person in your heart


    Mo Liuxi, dont make things difficult for Susu anymore. A weak voice suddenly came from the door.


    The two of them looked over. Shi Xiang had appeared out of nowhere. He looked haggard and wore a white hospital gown. He looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.


    Mo Liuxi looked at him. Old and new grudges surged up. He rushed over and grabbed his cor, Shi Xiang, why didnt you drown to death? Why are people like you still alive? Since you like her so much, why didnt youpete with me in the first ce? Now That Im getting married, why did youe out to harass her? Are you a man or not? Tell me.


    He really hated him to the core.


    But he did not know that hisst sentence had stabbed Shi Xu hard, who was on the verge of copsing.


    Mo Liuxi pushed him against the wall. He looked at him andughed. His eyes were filled with grief. Youre right. I didnte topete because I didnt feel like a man at that time.

 Chapter 1607. She Asked Susu to WatChapter from the Side

    Chapter 1607. She Asked Susu to WatChapter from the Side


    Mo Liuxi frowned and did not understand what Shi Xiang meant.


    Do you know why Yan Su is willing to help me? Because she feels that she owes me. Last year, on the night of our photo shoot at the hotel, I was raped by a man. Do you know that? Shi Xiang poked his chest with all his might, his eyes turned red and his handsome face was twitching.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. He had never expected such a thing to happen.


    He turned around to look at Yan Su and saw that she had quietly curled herself up into a ball. She buried her face into the nket and said in a hoarse voice, Shi Xiang, stop talking.


    What happened that night was a nightmare to everyone.


    She often had nightmares about that incident. She was disgusted with the act of lovemaking between a man and a woman at first also because of that night.


    Susu, I didnt expect you to keep your promise. Shi Xiangs eyes were red. My assistant said that he hoped that you wouldnt tell anyone about what happened that night. So you didnt tell anyone. Actually, even if you did, I wouldnt me you.


    Since Ive promised not to tell anyone, I wont. Yan Su pinched the corner of her nket and said with a hoarse voice.


    It was not the case that she did not hear Shi Xiangs screams that night. It was not the case that she did not hear his cries that night.


    He had abandoned the dignity of a man.


    Secrets about other peoples extreme privacy and dignity could not be casually shared just because they were her husband and parents. That would be be immoral.


    WhyWhy did this happen? What happened that night? Mo Liuxi questioned angrily.


    Actually, Susu doesnt have to feel guilty. It was my own fault and I implicated her. Shi Xiang nced at Jin Yon, who was still unconscious on the bed, The rumors outside werent wrong. In order to rise to the top, I followed Jin Yon and was always manipted by her. Later on, I wanted to return to the country to develop my rtionship with Susu and left Korea. Jin Yon found out that Susu was my first girlfriend and kidnapped her. That night, I went over and Jin Yon said that we have to choose either myself or Susu to be toyed with by her man.


    Mo Liuxi clenched his fists tightly as blood-red hatred gushed out from his eyes. He had no idea what had happened to her that night.


    He really wanted to strangle that woman to death.


    Shi Xiang leaned against the wall and slowly sat down on the ground, I was scared too. I was timid at the time, but when I saw Susu being stripped naked and she kept crying, I knew that I wasnt a good person. I couldnt stick to the promise of giving her happiness, and in the end, she was implicated because of me. So I stood up. Jin Yon was really vicious. She let Susu watch from the side and watched me beingJin Yon even recorded the entire process.


    Yan Su covered her face with the nket, and she was cowering inside. She did not want to recall what happened that night at all.


    Shi Xiang continuedughing, Why do you think I didnt pursue Susu with you when we were in Venice and this year? Because I dont think I have the right. In front of her, I have no dignity at all. Im not even a man. Tell me, how am I supposed to pursue her? Later, when I was photographed in the hotel, Jin Yon was the one who told the reporters.


    Susu felt that she owed me. She felt that if it werent for the fact that I wanted to achieve our dreams and that I didnt want to go back to her father to make him proud, I wouldnt have sold my body. If it wasnt for me standing up for her, I wouldnt have been toyed with. Shi Xiang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

 Chapter 1608. Mo Liuxi, Susu doesnt love me

    Chapter 1608. Mo Liuxi, Susu doesn''t love me


    Mo Liuxi, Ive even thought of taking my own life. Shi Xiang raised his right wrist. There were still scars on it. Ive cut it before, but I didnt die.


    Mo Liuxi fell into a silence.


    He was a man, and he knew how much it would hurt.


    To be honest, if he had been toyed with in front of Yan Su


    I hope you dont doubt Yan Su, Shi Xiang said bitterly. Shes a good person. She feels sorry for me. In fact, I brought this upon myself. She doesnt need to feel guilty towards me. Mo Liuxi, Susu doesnt love me. I can feel it.


    In the afternoon, when she came to persuade me, she said that it was because I was her ssmate and she didnt want to see me ending up like this. She also said that if I didnt listen to her, she wouldnt have any other choice. She still had a husband and a child, and she still had to go back to attend the award ceremony, to attend the wedding tomorrow, but on the way back no one expected that such an ident would happen.


    Mo Liuxi finally felt relieved.


    But he did not sympathize with Shi Xiang because in his eyes, what he had done in the past was too unmanly.


    Shi Xiang, I dont care about your matters. Of course, I also need to thank you for protecting my girlfriendst year. But dont forget that it was all because of you.


    After a long while, Mo Liuxis face darkened. I only care about my wife. I dont need to tell you. I think you already know what the reporters said, and the police. You definitely cant cover up the kidnapping.


    Ill exin it to the police, Shi Xiang suddenly said. At the same time, Ill publicly exin the whole story.


    Yan Su and Mo Liuxi were both shocked.


    Because I want to call the police. I want to report that Yan Su was kidnappedst year and that I was hurt. Shi Xiang clenched his fists. I have all the evidences fromst year. But I didnt dare to say anything to protect my pride, and I didnt dare to make a big deal out of it.


    ButYour video is in Jin Yons hands, Yan Su reminded in a low voice. Arent you afraid of it being released?


    Susu, I was the one who died once in the sea. Im not afraid of anything anymore, Shi Xiang said with a self-deprecating smile, Youre right. I shouldnt have destroyed myself to deal with this woman. Everyone should follow the path of thew. When I went to save Jin Yon after I fell into the sea, I suddenly understood. Its actually very easy to kill someone. With a knife, everything is settled. If I dont extend my hand to her, shell die. But I have to bear the crime of murder forever. Im not God, and I dont have the right to decide the life and death of others.


    Yan Su heaved a sigh of relief.


    For Shi Xiang to be able to walk out of that painful past, it was probably the best ending for everyone.


    Mo Liuxis tightly knitted brows also rxed, Its good that you can think like that. Shi Xiang, the meaning of the word man doesnt disappear just because someone has done something to you. It depends on your actions and responsibilities. Just like what you did to Susu in the past, I dont think youre a man. But now you are. This woman has also hurt Susu. Ill try my best to gather other evidence for you so that she can spend the rest of her life in prison.


    Shi Xiang was taken aback. After a while, he lowered his head and extended his hand. Thank you.


    Mo Liuxi shook his hand indifferently, Ive already said that Im doing this for my wife. I only have one request. Shi Xiang, please stay away from Susu in the future. I really care about your existence. Its impossible for us to be friends. I dont like you because youre Susus first love. Im very narrow-minded, do you understand?

 Chapter 1609. Ill Spend My Whole Life to Make It up to You, Alright

    Chapter 1609. I''ll Spend My Whole Life to Make It up to You, Alright


    Shi Xiang pursed his thin lips. It wont happen again. II havent thought about how things would turn out with Susu for a long time. In the future, Ill stay far away from you. But please give her happiness. If you cant give it to her, then I mighte back.


    Mo Liuxi tightened his grip on Shi Xiangs hand. He raised his eyebrows and red at Shi Xiang. My woman will never be yours.


    Shi Xiang felt a burning pain in his hand. However, Shi Xiang suddenly broke into a smile. It was a smile of relief.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and released Shi Xiang. Hurry up and tell the police. Its best if you exin it to them tonight. I have to return to Xia city tomorrow morningtest to marry Susu.


    Shi Xiang nced at Yan Su and suddenly smiled at her.


    This time, he felt relieved.


    Because he knew that Mo Liuxi was a good man worthy of her lifelongmitment.


    If you like someone, you dont need to be with her. As long as she was happy.


    What are youughing at? Get lost. Mo Liuxi blocked in front of him to prevent Yan Su from seeing his flirtatious smile.


    Since he was so rude, Shi Xiang raised his eyebrows. Mo Liuxi, its useless for you to be jealous. After all, Ill always be Yan Sus first love. After all, youre a few years younger. Youll just hate the fact that I was born earlier.


    After he finished speaking, he quickly slipped away before Mo Liuxi was about to go berserk and beat him up.


    Yan Su could hear hisughtering from the corridor outside. She hadpletely let go of what happened that night and would not have nightmares anymore.


    What are youughing at? Mo Liuxi turned around and red at her in annoyance. Do you still know that we were arguing just now?


    Yan Su blinked her eyes and removed the nket to get off the bed. However, her body had been soaked in the seawater for too long and waspletely dehydrated. As soon as she stepped on the ground, her body fell forward.


    Mo Liuxi subconsciously rushed over to support her.


    Yan Su immediately put her hand around his neck and buried her head in his neck with a smile, acting coquettishly. I was really scared just now. I was afraid that you would suddenly abandon me. But I heard you talking about the wedding just now, so Im not afraid anymore.


    She leaned against him softly, and her voice was like a kitten. Mo Liuxis heart was half-melted, but he still gritted his teeth and patted her butt, Yan Su, what do you think I should do with you? Why didnt you tell me about the kidnapping? This kind of woman has let her get away with it for so long. She deserves to die.


    I wanted to tell you. You called me that night, and I really wanted to tell you.Yan Su hugged him with both hands and did not let go, But if I told you, you would investigate. Shi Xiangs video could also be found out. I thought that I didnt actually suffer any physical harm. It was mainly because I saw those things with my own eyes that left a shadow in my heart. Later on, when you touched me, I wanted to vomit. Its not that I dont like you, but I didnt move on from that night.


    Mo Liuxi suddenly understood.


    It turned out that she would vomit when the two of them were intimate. It turned out that after the two of them got back together, they often saw her having nightmares in the middle of the night.


    But I was hurt. Mo Liuxi sighed. Even though Shi Xiang exined it clearly, Im still very upset. Im not happy at all because you put your promise first and me second.


    Im sorry Yan su raised her pale face. Ill spend my whole life to make it up to you, okay?


    I dont want it, someone snorted.


    Yan Su blinked. ThenIll give birth to Mo Yan for you, okay?

 Chapter 1610. A woman like you is too dirty to be touched

    Chapter 1610. A woman like you is too dirty to be touched


    Mo Liuxi lowered his head and nced at her. He suddenly picked her up and said, Who cares about Mo Yan? Im not Nian Junting. I dont care about the child at all.


    He carried her directly to the bed and ordered coldly, Lie down properly. Ill get you some food.


    Yan Su watched him leave. Her heart was incredibly soft. He was still angry at her, but he was still taking care of her stomach.


    Liu Xi, thank you for believing me this time.


    At 10 pm, Shi Xiang posted a statement on Weibo, exining the whole story clearly.


    The people who were specting that he and Yan Su were having an affair were instantly shocked. The entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.


    No one had expected such a terrible thing to happen to Shi Xiang. If it was any other kind of statement, theizens might have suspected the truth. But when he revealed this truth which would destroy his reputationpletely, no one doubted it anymore.


    In a short period of time, theizens dug up everything about Jin Yon. Even those who were far away in Korea dug up some of Jin Yons dirty secrets. Some said that she frequented nightclubs, while others said that she had taken drugs, some unknown people even revealed that she had killed someone, but her father had suppressed it.


    Someizens even issued a statement telling the artist of SL Entertainment to get out of China and forbade them from making any money in China. They also urged the police to investigate the matter thoroughly and not allow anyone to bully the Chinese.


    The reporters who were hiding in Macau also went to the police station to interview them. The representative speaker of the police station also personally came forward to exin that Shi Xiang had already given a statement to the police. Shi Xiang also provided relevant evidence of Jin Yonmitting a crime in Xia city at that time, at this point, it was almost certain that Shi Xiang was telling the truth.


    At midnight, Jin Yon woke up. Her injuries were more serious, and she was thest to wake up.


    Just as she opened her eyes, she saw a tall and cold figure standing by the bed. His eyes were even cooler than obsidian, and there was a chill in his bones. However, his facial features were deep and profound, his facial features were so good-looking that even a woman would be jealous.


    She was stunned. Even though she had seen countless handsome men in Korea, she could not help but fall into a daze for a moment. Are youarranged by my father? Youre pretty good-looking.


    Mo Liuxi sneered. This woman was really cheap. She was already like this, yet she was still thinking about a man.


    He grabbed her neck with one hand and said rudely, I think youre still not awake enough. Let me pinch you to wake you up a little.


    He exerted a lot of force. Jin Yon felt a suffocatingck of oxygen. She was fully awake now. She turned her eyes and saw Yan Su sitting on the other side of the bed, eating an apple.


    She grabbed the bedsheet with all her strength. When she was almost out of breath, Mo Liuxi let go of her hand and smiled brightly, A woman like you can make me feel dirty just by touching you. Its a pity that I only found out today that you bullied my wife. Otherwise, I would definitely torture you bit by bit with my own hands.


    Jin Yons face was deathly pale. She coughed violently and said roughly, Youre Yan Sus


    Mo Liuxi. He patted her cheek forcefully. I heard that you wanted to find someone to rape her, right?


    Jin Yon felt a burning pain on her face. She pushed his hand away in humiliation and panted. Do you know who I am? I


    I know that youre going to jail soon.Mo Liuxi sneered. Shi Xiang has told the police everything already. You were too arrogant in Xia city back then and all the evidence is still there. Let me tell you, this isnt your Korea. You cant do whatever you want here.

 Chapter 1611. What if you were seduced by another woman

    Chapter 1611. What if you were seduced by another woman


    Jin Yon panicked. Has Shi Xiang lost his mind? Yan Su, dont forget that I recorded the video


    Where is the video now? Yan Su stopped chewing on her apple and asked in a low voice.


    If anything happens to me, the video will definitely spread. Jin Yon sneered. Dont forget how Shi Xiang protected you. Do you have the heart to do that? I advise you to change your statement immediately.


    We wont change our statement. And what you said Yan Su took out her phone from under the nket. The recording function was turned on. Its irrefutable evidence.


    You guys are crazy! Jin Yon screamed loudly. Her facial features were contorted.


    Were not crazy. Mo Liuxi really detested her face. He did not know how Shi Xiang managed to make out with her back then, Do you think that you can control everything? Shi Xiang doesnt care about the video anymore. If you want to make it public, go ahead. However, if you spread that kind of thing in China, the charge against you will be even worse. Also, dont threaten my wife in front of her. Its useless. Even if you hang a knife on Shi Xiangs neck, its also useless.


    He took out his phone and dialed the police number. Jin Yon is awake. Please take this woman away. Im afraid that a pervert like her will be assassinated in the middle of the night.


    In less than five minutes, officer Liu, who was in charge of the case, came over. He asked someone to take the hysterical Jin Yon away, and Yan Su handed the recording to him.


    Thank you. This woman is going to jail for sure, officer Liu said with a smile, Yan Su, the case is clear now. You dont have to stay in Macau. You can leave whenever you want, as long as youe when you testify in court. But I advise you to rest for two days. I heard from the doctor that you havent recovered yet.


    Thank you, Yan Su nodded in relief.


    After officer Liu left, Yan Su turned to Mo Liuxi and said, Book a ne ticket back to Xia city in the morning. You can still make it in time for the wedding at noon.


    Mo Liuxi stared at her gloomily for a while and said unhappily, What are you rushing for? Didnt you hear what they said? You havent recovered yet.


    But didnt you say that you must get married? I heard someone yelling in my ear when I was unconscious, Yan Su said faintly.


    Mo Liuxi coughed a few times in embarrassment. Who knew that she was still conscious when she was unconscious, You must have heard it wrongly. I dont care if you are willing to marry me now. I just feel embarrassed. After all, everyone in the world knows that we are going to get married today.


    Yan Sus gaze was soft. How could she not know that he was lying? But I care. If I dont marry such a good man like you now, what would I do if you are seduced by another woman?


    Mo Liuxi crossed his arms and red at her coldly, not saying a word.


    Lets go back. I think I can do it, Yan Su said affirmatively. And the wedding has been meticulously prepared for so long. It will definitely look good. Im looking forward to it.


    But Im not so looking forward to it now, Mo Liuxi saidzily.


    Its okay. Ill look forward to it alone. Yan Su smiled. Take a rest. You have to wake up early tomorrow.


    She deliberately set the rm clock and was woken up at 5:30 am the next day.


    She struggled to get up but found that the man sleeping on the sofa still did not move.


    She did not believe that such a loud rm could not wake him up. He was just pretending to be asleep.

 Chapter 1612. Wedding Dress

    Chapter 1612. Wedding Dress


    Since he could not get up, she had to pack her things by herself.


    Mo Liuxi then pretended to be woken up and sat up. He rubbed his eyes with his fair and slender fingers. What are you doing up so early? Its not even dawn yet.


    It would be six oclock already when we get to the airport. Lets try to get home before nine oclock, Yan su said as she lowered her head and put her clothes into her bag.


    Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a while. He got up and snatched her bag away with a straight face. Please, you were literally fished out from the sea yesterday. Why are you doing this alone? Look at your shaky body. How am I supposed to consummate my marriage tonight?


    He grumbled while putting his coat on her.


    Yan Su secretly looked at his fair and handsome face and secretly smiled.


    Although his words sounded unpleasant, he was actually still very concerned about her actions.


    She knew that he was unhappy, and she could understand it. In the past, he always coaxed her, but this time, she could coax him.


    When she arrived at the airport, she received a phone call from Jiang Peiying. Have you two left yet?


    Yes, were waiting to board the ne.Yan Su looked at the time. Well be there at 9:30. Let the makeup artist be ready.


    YouCan you handle it?Jiang Peiying was a little worried.


    Its alright.


    Jiang Peiying sighed. Although she had found out the whole story through Shi Xiangs Weibost night, and it was understandable, and no one was scolding her online, Mo Liuxi was innocent no matter what, and she must have been hurt. After all, it was her daughter and Shi Xiangs past that had caused all this. No one could say that they werent responsible.


    Susu, I dont care what Shi Xiang has done for you, but he chose his own path. As for you, you dont owe him anymore. Stay away from him in the future. Its best if you dont contact him anymore. I hope that you cherish Liu Xi. Hes such a good boy. If you miss him, you wont be able to meet anyone like him again, Jiang Peiying said earnestly, After all those happened, when everyone was scolding you, even your father and I felt that we couldnt forgive you, he still spoke up for you. Love him well. You must cherish such a boy who loves you wholeheartedly. In the future, you must understand that family is the most important thing.


    I will. Yan Sus voice was filled with guilt.


    You always make your parents worry. Jiang Peiying smiled bitterly. Back then, weve told you to not be together with Shi Xiang, but you refused to listen. Dont let us worry about you anymore.


    Jiang Peiying sighed a few times before hanging up.


    Yan Su turned around to look at the man who was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed. When he was about to fall asleep, she leaned over and gently ced his head on her shoulder.


    At the hotel, the nended at the Xia City Airport.


    Mo Liuxi took the car and went straight home. Since the auspicious time for the wedding had already been missed, the two families decided to change at the womans house and go straight to the hotel.


    Yan Su spent a full hour and a half putting on makeup. The wedding dress she was wearing was custom-made three months ago by a famous foreign designer. It was a fishtail-style wedding dress with its back exposed. The hem of the dress was filled with hand-embroidered roses, daffodils, and clover, when she walked out of the room, she was so dazzling that everyone around her paled inparison.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned by what he saw. He had always known that Yan Su was beautiful, butpared to luosang, she was less beautiful and more elegant. Now, she was delicate and white camellias. She wasnt breathtaking, but quiet and elegant.


    Mamayoure pretty, Yan Yan ran up to Yan Su, hugged her legs, and said with a sweet smile.

 Chapter 1613. The most handsome groom I had ever seen

    Chapter 1613. The most handsome groom I had ever seen


    Everyoneughed. Mo Jin hugged her granddaughter and said, This is the first time our Yan Yan has spoken so clearly. Its all because of the magic brought by her mother.


    Yan Yan grinned and said to Mo Liuxi, Papais handsome.


    Everyone in the living roomughed.


    Mo Liuxis eyes revealed a gentle smile.


    Its gettingte. Lets go to the hotel, Xu Zhengxuan reminded.


    Yan Su took the initiative to take Mo Liuxis hand. He nced sideways at her and turned away, but soon he secretly went to look at her again.


    This happened many times. When they got to the car, Yan Su caught his eyes again and kissed his lips.


    Okay, this is how it should be, the photographer said with a smile.


    Mo Liuxi whispered to her, What are you doing? Dont seduce me.


    Im not seducing you. Youre seducing me. Yan Sus fingers gently caressed the white suit fabric on his chest. Her gaze was as gentle as water. Liuxi, you look really good today. Youre the most handsome groom Ive ever seen.


    She rarely praised him so directly. Mo Liuxi turned his face away in a slightly embarrassed manner. The tips of his ears turned red unnaturally. Im born good-looking.


    Yan Su held his arm and leaned against his shoulder. She had been very tired sincest night.


    Mo Liuxis body moved and she said, Dont move, my head is a little dizzy.


    His eyes immediately became nervous and he quickly pulled her into his arms.


    Yan Su closed her eyes happily.


    The wedding was held in the open air.


    When Yan Su walked over, she was shocked by the beauty of thewn. The hugewn was filled with pink flowers. There were flower arches and a forest-style photo wall. Not only were there wedding photos of the two of them, there were also childhood photos of the two of them, there were photos of the two from when they met, when they fell in love, when they broke up, and when they got back together. There were photos of the two of them in school, cooking together, and all the details of their dates.


    There was a card hanging on the photo wall. The message on it was: Susu, when I met you, you were already a public figure. We cant take photos casually. We are also very careful when taking photos, but I have kept every single photo of me with you carefully, we drank milk tea together, ate ice cream together, and ate barbecue together. I want to love you like this for the rest of my life. Liuxi.


    Her eyes turned red as she looked at the photo.


    Luosang appeared beside her out of nowhere. She smiled and said, Every single photo here was fixed by Liuxi himself. He spent two days on this wall alone.


    Yan Su was touched and sweet. She turned around, only to see Mo Liuxi turn his back to her and look up at the sky, pretending that he did not see anything.


    She giggled, leaned over and put her arm around his shoulder. Liuxi, thank you for the surprise.


    Fortunately, she was here and did not miss the wedding.


    Butyou almost missed it, Mo Liuxi replied sarcastically.


    Yan Su felt sad. It was natural for him to be angry. After all, he had spent so much effort. No, even if I really died, my soul would still float over.


    Mo Liuxis expression changed. He could not bear it anymore and pinched her cheek. Shut up.


    Yan Su immediately shut her mouth obediently.


    The wedding ceremony began.


    The emcee said, Yan Su, do you want this man to be your husband and enter into a marriage contract with him? Regardless of illness, health, or any other reason, love him, take care of him, respect him, ept him, and be loyal to him until the end of his life?

 Chapter 1614. Was he addicted to being arrogant

    Chapter 1614. Was he addicted to being arrogant


    Yan Su smiled. I do.


    The emcee asked again, Mo Liuxi, are you willing to make this woman your wife and enter into a marriage contract with her? Regardless of illness, health, or any other reason, love her, take care of her, respect her, ept her, and be loyal to her until the end of her life??


    Mo Liuxi raised his chin arrogantly and said arrogantly andzily, Lets see how she behaves.


    Yan Su:


    The emcee was embarrassed. You cant answer like that.


    Mo Liuxi blinked and asked Yan Su, How do you think I should answer?


    Yan Su rolled her eyes and knew that he was throwing a tantrum again. She said to the emcee, He does, lets move on to the next item.


    The emcee cleared his throat. Now, the bride and groom are invited to exchange their rings to show their loyalty to love. Now, the bridesmaids are invited to bring up their wedding rings.


    The Bridesmaid was Ji Nuanyi. She brought up the ring.


    Mo Liuxi took a look and did not move.


    The scene was a little awkward.


    The emcee repeated, The bride and groom are invited to exchange their rings.


    Yan Su braced herself and went forward to pick up the ring. Mo Liuxi turned his body and directly stretched out his hand.


    Ji Nuanyi took a look at his face and especially wanted to p his face with her slippers. But forget it, this was not her wedding. She shook her head and went down.


    Yan Su continued to wear the ring on his ring finger with a smile.


    Next, it was the brides turn. Mo Liuxi looked at his hand that was wearing the ring, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and said coldly, Beg me.


    Yan Su:


    Was he addicted to being arrogant?


    Mo Jin, who was sitting below, could not bear it any longer and directly grabbed a banana from the side and threw it at his face. Are you a man? Hurry up and put it on for her, dont be so weird.


    He clearly wanted to get married so eagerly, but at this juncture, he was actually throwing a tantrum. Couldnt he read the situation now? It was simply embarrassing.


    Jiang Peiying consoled, Inws, dont be agitated. We know that Liuxi doesnt have any ill intentions. He just doesnt feel veryfortable.


    If you dont feelfortable, then dont get married. Mo Jin snorted coldly. You can even dissolve the wedding right now.


    Mom, you dont have to care about my matters. Mo Liuxi red at his mother in annoyance. Only then did he take the ring and put on Yan Sus ring finger.


    The emcee wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had hosted countless weddings, but this was the first time he had hosted such an out-of-control wedding. Now, please ask the groom to kiss the bride.


    After saying that, he looked at Mo Liuxi pleadingly and begged him to follow the rehearsals.


    Mo Liuxi did not look at him at all. Instead, he smiled at Yan Su. Come and kiss me.


    Yan Su waspletely speechless. He knew that she was the shyest person, yet he still asked her to kiss him in front of everyone.


    However, thinking about how she really made him lose face, she gritted her teeth and took the initiative to walk over. She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his thin lips. After pausing for two seconds, she left. Her face was already red.


    Themotion at thewn was fairly bustling.

 Chapter 1615. Made everyone wait for a long time, mainly because the bride was too enthusiastic

    Chapter 1615. Made everyone wait for a long time, mainly because the bride was too enthusiastic


    Xiao Pingguo, Yan Yan, and Yan Jin were so engrossed in it that the adults covered their eyes.


    I want to see it, I want to see it, Xiao Pingguo shook his butt and protested.


    Thats not going to happen, Nian Junting pped Xiao Pingguos butt, then turned to his wife and said regretfully, I realized that we didnt have much time during our marriage.


    Luosang looked at the two people on the stage awkwardly. Yan Su was struggling, but Mo Liuxi refused to let go. She was d that the process of her wedding was short.


    Yan Jinined, Mom, how long are they going to be? My eyes are hurting from you covering them.


    How would I know? Jiang Peiying was embarrassed. Her son-inw couldnt control himself.


    Mo Jin looked at the time. Originally, Mo Liuxis torment had dyed the auspicious time. It was not until one oclock that she had her meal. She could not bear it anymore and threw an apple at her son, Hurry up and finish the ceremony. How much longer do you need? Dont forget that Yan Su is still a patient.


    Mo Liuxis back trembled from the impact. Only then did he let go of Yan Su.


    The audience was filled withughter. Yan Su felt that she really did not want to see anyone else. She tried her best to burrow her head into his chest.


    Mo Liuxi curled his lips in satisfaction. He turned around and said to the guests, Im sorry to have kept everyone waiting. Its mainly because the bride is too enthusiastic.


    Yan Su, who was burrowing into his arms, could not believe it. What was he saying? who was enthusiastic? It was clearly him.


    The guests looked at Mo Liuxi on the stage and suddenly burst intoughter.


    Yan Jinughed so loudly that he covered his stomach.


    Xiao Pingguo chuckled and crawled into Luosangs arms, Mama, uncle is wearing lipstick too.


    Nian Junting clicked his tongue and shook his head. This guy was so cruel, he looked so funny.


    What are youughing at? Mo Liuxi was confused. When Yan Su raised her head to look at him in confusion, she felt hot-headed, so she quickly took a tissue to wipe his lips.


    Only then did Mo Liuxi realize what was going on. He was also a little embarrassed. He said coldly to the emcee, Hurry up and finish the next procedure. Its going too slow.


    The emcee was on the verge of breaking down. He really wanted to do it too, alright? It was you who had been dragging it out.


    Next, he hurriedly invited both parents to go on stage. After the ceremony was finally over, it was almost 1 am.


    Mo Liuxi carried Yan Su to the room to change.


    At the wine table, everyone rushed to congratte Mo Jin and Jiang Peiying.


    Xiao Si slowly walked to the bridesmaid Ji Nuannuans side. Nuannuan, when are you going to marry me? Even a young boy like Mo Liuxi is married. If you dont marry me, Im really going to be an old man.


    Ji Nuanyi nced at him lightly. You always think that Im ambiguous with other men. How can I marry you?


    I dont always think like that. Xiao Si quickly said, Just thest time because of Cheng Sheng, we had a conflict for several months. Didnt it make our rtionship better? That time, we almost broke up. Only then did I realize that I care about you more than I thought. I love you. Please marry me. Please.


    He kept rubbing his arms and shoulders against her like a puppy. Nuannuan, look at me. I dont go out to y anymore. Im only focused on work. Im so obedient.

 Chapter 1616. Brother Si Was So Fierce That He Didnt Even Need to Spend Money to Propose

    Chapter 1616. Brother Si Was So Fierce That He Didn''t Even Need to Spend Money to Propose


    Ji Nuanyi was eating dessert. She felt a little nauseous after being rubbed by him.


    Director Li couldnt help but remind her, Mr. Xiao, if you keep doing this, youll push Nuanyi onto the grass.


    Xiao Si was stunned. He realized that he rubbed so hard that Nuanyi was almost pushed out of the chair.


    He quickly pulled her over and straightened her up. This time, he rubbed her gently. If youre still dissatisfied with me, I will change. I can change anything except my love to you.


    Ji Nuanyi could not help butugh. These words of love were flowing from him naturally, but she said, Its not very good for you to behave like this. You had nothing at other peoples wedding, but you still want to get married with me.


    Why didnt I have anything?Xiao Si stood up abruptly and suddenly walked to the decorative table at the side. He directly pulled out a few bouquets of flowers from some vases. There were pink, champagne, and blue flowers.


    Ji Nuanyi felt a little numb and she wanted to sneak away because it was too embarrassing to steal flowers from someone elses wedding and propose.


    However, before she ran away, she was grabbed by Xiao Si. He immediately held the bouquets and knelt down. In the other hand, he was holding arge diamond ring, he said loudly, Ji Nuanyi, please marry me. Two years ago, we officially became lovers at someone elses wedding. Two yearster, I want to end our long courtship at someone elses wedding and tie the knots.


    His voice was so loud that it drowned the music and attracted everyones attention.


    Fortunately, there were no media among the audience, or there would be an uproar. After all, Ji Nuanyi was now an A-list actress. If she was propose, it would definitely cause a sensation.


    Luo Sang, who was sitting at the next table, was stunned. Brother Si is too fierce. He didnt even need to spend money to propose.


    Nian Junting touched his forehead and said, How embarrassing. If I were Ji Nuanyi, I would definitely throw the flowers at him. Would it be kill to buy flowers on your own?


    Luo Sang burst intoughter and said, Youre not Nuanyi. How do you know her thoughts? I think its a little touching. Marriage requires passion. Brother Si has it.


    She took the lead and raised her hand. Brother Si, good luck.


    She took the lead, and the crowd started cheering as well. Todays wedding was already unusual enough, but it was unexpected that there would be an even more unusual proposal.


    Say Yes, say yes,the onlookers cheered.


    Ji Nuanyi was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She really wanted to kick Xiao Si, who was standing in front of her. Who didnt yearn for a romantic proposal ceremony, especially for a public artist like her? Usually, didnt people need to n meticulously for the proposal? For example, a fewyers of cake, an ingenious way of giving a ring, and then inviting a few photographers to the wedding. Yet, he just picked someone elses flowers to propose at someone elses wedding. How could he be so shameless?


    After all, she was a star.


    Xiao Si was so nervous that he felt his hair was burning, Nuannuan, I originally nned to propose to you in the next few days and was also trying hard to think of a proposal ceremony. But today, when I saw someone else getting married, I couldnt help but feel envious. You see, although these flowers were from someone elses wedding, they were also flown over from Nethends by Mo Liuxi. They are definitely more expensive, fresh, and beautiful than the ones in this city. I feel that I can save some money again. I have to save all this money for you to spend in the future.


    Ji Nuanyi simply didnt know whether tough or cry, but she also knew that he was serious. Xiao Si, have you really thought it through? Im not as good as you imagine

 Chapter 1617. What Does It mean to Propose at My Wedding

    Chapter 1617. What Does It mean to Propose at My Wedding


    No, youre amazing, Xiao Si quickly said, I like your enthusiasm, straightforwardness, andck of affectation, and your willingness to help others. Just like todays wedding, you were also the one who set up the bride and groom. I also like your conscientiousness in your work. Although I feel that you sometimes neglect me for your work, I understand that you dont feel enough a sense of security and want to earn more money to seekfort. I understand that when I was with you at the beginning, it was beautiful, and it was a faint feeling of attraction. Later, I fell in love with you unconsciously, and I love you more and more.


    Ji Nuanyis eyes reddened at his words.


    She had never tried to get a boyfriend before. No one understood her as well as he did.


    Mu Rongcheng smiled. Just say Yes. Xiao Si grow up before my eyes. Although he was not hardworking in the past and was undisciplined, he has changed a lot. And wIve never heard of him being a womanizer.


    Yeah, Nian Xi agreed. She was really envious of them since her childhood ymates were all getting married. I grew up with brother Si. Really, hes the kind of person who harbors evil intentions but had no guts to act. If he is well managed, there wont be any problems.


    Nian Xi Xiao Si stared at her anxiously. How could she ruin his reputation like this?


    Nian Xiughed and said, In short, Ive never seen brother Si like anyone so much.


    Luo Sang nodded and said, Brother Si has a big heart, and hes willing to help others. He doesnt care about winning or losing, but hes also very careful in some aspects. Hes a good man.


    What she said was true. If he wasnt a big-hearted person, he wouldnt have been Nian Juntings friend for so long.


    Ji Nuanyi burst intoughter. Then she nodded and said, Since so many people are sticking up for you, Ill say yes. Youd better put the flowers back. Just put the ring on my Finger.


    She was worried that Mo Liuxi would hold them responsible if they didnt put the flowers back.


    Thats great, Nuannuan. Thank you. Xiao Si held her up and spun her around happily.


    After attending so many weddings, he finally had his own weddinging.


    Everyone smiled and pped for them. They also sincerely wished them a happy marriage.


    ..


    Mo Liuxi apanied Yan Su after she had changed into a toasting outfit. They saw that everyone surrounded Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi pping and cheering.


    Mo Liuxi frowned deeply, especially when he saw the flowers in Xiao Sis hands. Then, he looked at the decorative table that he had carefully arranged. Several ss bottles were empty.


    He had managed to transport these fresh flowers from abroad.


    Who allowed him to pick them?


    He strode over, but Yan Su pulled him back. Dont be so aggressive. Cant you see that hes proposing?


    I can see it. His handsome face was sullen now. If he wants to propose, he can propose. But why did he propose at my wedding? Is he stealing our limelight? Besides, he didnt even bring flowers. He wants to use the flowers that I bought. Im not familiar with Xiao Si, so how can he take my flowers? My flowers are very expensive.


    Except spending money for his own family members, he felt distressed every time he spent a dime on others. It was a waste.


    If he had not seen this scene, he would not have known that Xiao Si hade to this wedding.


    Shes Nuanyis boyfriend. Its normal for her to bring her boyfriend. Is it better when there are more people at our wedding? Yan Su did not think much of it. Instead, she was quite happy for them. The couple might have been agitated when they saw us getting married. After all, Mr. Xiao seems to be about the same age as Mr. Nian. Think about it. Youre so much younger and youre already married. Hes still not married in his thirties. He must be envious.

 Chapter 1618. How Can You Drink Alcohol With Your Condition

    Chapter 1618. How Can You Drink Alcohol With Your Condition


    Mo Liuxi snorted indifferently. Proposing and ruining other peoples Flowers? This kind of person deserves to be single and should not get a wife. Is Ji Nuanyi crazy? She actually agreed to marry him.


    The flowers arent important. Whats important is their love. And Nuanyi has helped us before


    Youre right. If it werent for her helping us, I wouldnt have married you in the end. Mo Liuxi suddenly became sarcastic.


    Its been rough for you to marry me, right? But since youve already married me, theres nothing we can do about it. Lets go and congratte her. Yan Su sighed and held his hand as they walked over.


    Mo Liuxi looked reluctant, but his body followed her honestly.


    Ji Nuanyi saw the two of them walking over and immediately patted Xiao Si with embarrassment, asking him to put her down.


    Xiao Si did as he was told. When he saw the bride and groom, he immediately put his arm around Mo Liuxis shoulder. My friend, thank you so much. If it werent for your wedding, I wouldnt have been able to find a chance to propose to Nuanyi. Ive been waiting for this day for too long. By the way, Yan Su, when I misunderstood Cheng Sheng and Nuanyi, you and Luo Sang exined to me. Otherwise, I would have really misunderstood, and I will regret missing such a wonderful person for the rest of my life.


    I dont know you very well. Mo Liuxi looked at the arm on his shoulder and unceremoniously removed it.


    Ji Nuanyi knew his temper. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Director Mo, Im really sorry. He caused so much trouble at your wedding. If I had known that he would be like this, I wouldnt have brought him here.


    Nuanyi, dont say that. Yan Su smiled and held her hand. Youre so busy, yet youre still here to be my maid of honor. We all remember how good you are to us. Seeing that you finally have your own happiness, were quite happy for you. I truly hope to attend your wedding as soon as possible. I dont want to wait too long.


    No problem, Xiao Siughed.


    Hurry up and eat. Although the proposal was sessful, we still have to eat. Yan Su smiled and invited them to sit down.


    On the other side, Mo Jin was asking them to prepare a toast. After all, it was alreadyte.


    Yan Su and Mo Liuxi held their wine sses and went to toast their elders. Yan Su took the lead and said with a smile, Thank you all for attending our wedding.


    After clinking sses with everyone, she was just about to raise her head and drink the wine when Mo Liuxi snatched away her ss and drank up both his and her wine.


    HubbyYan Su looked at his smooth jaw lines, and there were ripples on her eyes.


    Mo Liuxis hand that was holding the wine ss trembled. She rarely called him husband and always called him Liuxi. Now that she suddenly called him hubby, his heart beat violently. If everyone was not watching, he really wanted to hug her in his arms and kiss her.


    However, this thought onlysted for a few seconds. He felt that the two sses of wine were too strong and he got intoxicated.


    Yan Su, how can you drink alcohol with your condition? Mo Liuxi said in a bad mood.


    Yan Su looked at him silently with her bright ck eyes.


    The best man, Chu Jiu, couldnt help but remind her. Please, she didnt drink wine, okay? She drank water.


    Mo Liuxi:


    Chu Jiu rolled his eyes. Cant you taste it? Im not a crazy person who knew that she had just been discharged from the hospital and let her drink sorghum wine.


    Mo Liuxi licked his lips. He had drunk too quickly to realize it.

 Chapter 1619. Your Uncle Marries Your Godmother

    Chapter 1619. Your Uncle Marries Your Godmother


    Yan Sus eyes brimmed with unceasing smiles.


    Now she found that he was really cute.


    Mo Liuxi felt a little embarrassed and turned around, ring at Chu Jiu. How would I know if you didnt tell me? Youre a careless person.


    Yes, youre the only one whos careful. Chu Jiu was speechless. They had been friends for so many years. In the past, Mo Liuxi was aloof and had no desires. Ever since he found a girlfriend, he has be more and more naive and childish. I cant stand it anymore. Youre so concerned about her, but youve been acting weird since the wedding. Arent you tired?


    None of your business, Mo Liuxi said coldly. He was so angry that no one else could understand.


    I dont worry about you. Your wife doesnt say anything, so why should I bother? Chu Jiu smiled at Yan Su and said, Yan Su, please take this young man to the table next door to toast.


    Thank you. Thanks a lot. Yan Su held back herughter and took Mo Liuxi to the table next door. They are going to toast Luo Sang and Mo Jin.


    Luo Sang smiled and said, Susu, call me sister.


    Yan Su stared at her in embarrassment. Sangsang was getting more and more ill-intentioned.


    Xiao Pingguo followed suit and said, Come on, call me aunt.


    Yan Su burst intoughter. She must have made a mistake.


    Luo Sang didnt know whether tough or cry. She patted Xiao Pingguo and said, This is your godmother.


    Xiao Pingguo frowned and said, I dont understand. Didnt you marry my uncle? You said that my uncles wife is aunt.


    Luo Sang felt a headache. Its a littleplicated. Anyway, your uncle married your godmother. You should call her as you used to.


    Your adult world is too messy, Xiao Pingguo cupped his hands around her head and looked troubled.


    People nearbyughed. The child was still young, and sometimes, she didnt know how to use words, but it was funny.


    Alright, stop nagging. After drinking so much wine, you can leave now, Nian Junting filled Mo Liuxis ss with sorghum wine.


    Mo Liuxis face was turning dark, and Yan Su was also worried. He has so many tables to toastter. Dont drink too much.


    Mo Jin waved her hand and said, Susu, its okay. Let him drink. He has high tolerance.


    Yan Su was surprised. She didnt look like his true mother.


    What? Youre not drinking? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, Who doesnt get drunk at their wedding? When I was married, myrades in the army drank me to death.


    Now, it was finally his turn to take revenge on others, wasnt it?


    Mo Liuxi nced at him coldly and drank the entire ss of sorghum wine. He rarely drank like that, and his stomach was burning.


    He did not want to stay at this table anymore, so he anxiously went to the next.


    At the table, after Mo Liuxi, and Yan Su finished their toast, Nian Xi saw the two of them go to the next table, and a faint feeling of jealousy rose in her heart.


    She really did not expect Mo Liuxi and Yan Su to get together. Both of them were much younger than her, but in the end, the two of them got married, while she


    In the past, when Jiang Yuning said that he was going to get married, she did not care at all. Now, she finally knew what it was like to be envious of others getting married.


    She gulped down the wine in a sullen manner. Nian Qingyun could not help but stop her, Youngdy, easy, easy.


    She lowered her head and did not say anything. Mu Rongcheng sighed. She was also a woman, so how could she not understand her daughters thoughts? Dont think about it. I think you should just let go of the past and find a new start. There is nothing that you cant get over.

 Chapter 1620. Ive Waited for This Day for Far Too Long

    Chapter 1620. I''ve Waited for This Day for Far Too Long


    Nian Xi felt annoyed and frowned. Mom, why are you talking about this again?


    Im telling the truth. Mu Rongcheng frowned. To be honest, another year has passed. There hasnt been any news from Jiang Yuning. Its most likely


    Nian XIs face darkened.


    Alright, dont worry about her. Nian Qingyun couldnt do anything about her now. She can do whatever she wants. If she wants to be single, she can be single. I dont care anymore.


    Mu Rongcheng red at her. Although their family wasnt short of money, when they were gone, their daughter was still lonely.


    Mo Liuxi toasted more than thirty tables. No matter how good his alcohol tolerance was, his legs were trembling. His vision was spinning, and he couldnt even stand steadily even with Yan Sus support.


    Be careful, be careful. Yan Su staggered while supporting him. After all, she waspletely powerless.


    It was Chu Jiu who helped her carry Mo Liuxi into the hotel room and put him on the bed.


    Yan Su, you should go and eat. Ill watch over here, Chu Jiu said. You dont look very well.


    Before Yan Su could open her mouth, Mo Liuxi pulled her tightly into his chest. His hands pressed hard on her shoulders like a child hugging his beloved toy. Youre not allowed to go anywhere. Stay here with me.


    Chu Jiu shook his head. He really wanted to take a picture of Mo Liuxis face. He really could not stand it anymore. He spoke coldly while treating her like a treasure.


    You go ahead. Youre a guest. Ill tell my mother to send some food over. Also, Im a little tired. I want to rest for a while, Yan su said with a smile.


    Okay then, I wont disturb you. Chu Jiu felt that there was no way for him to pull them apart. He closed the door and left early.


    The moment the door was closed, Yan Suid on Mo Liuxis body and did not move.


    She was really tired. After soaking in the sea for so long yesterday, her body had not recovered. She did not have a good rest in the morning, so she felt that she did not have any strength left.


    However, it was not a good idea to keep lying like this. She struggled to pull Mo Liuxis hand off her shoulder. Hubby, Hubby, can you loose your hand? Im not going anywhere. Let me get up for a while.


    Mo Liuxi opened her eyes in a daze. Although he smelled liquor on his breath, he could still smell the fragranceing from her body. Her fragrance was a little bit strong today. The smells of her lipstick, foundation, and hair spray were mixed together, but he could still smell the familiar body scent from her.


    Besides, she was wearing a chinese-style red wine-toasting dress with golden peonies embroidered on it. It was elegant even though the buckle on her corbone was tightly fastened together.


    He instantly flipped over uncontrobly and pressed Yan Su onto the big red wedding quilt.


    Susu.Yan Su was shocked. When she saw his red eyes, she had a headache. She turned around and wanted to run, but she was pulled back by Mo Liuxi.


    Its noon now, the guests didnt leave


    However, Mo Liuxi waspletely drunk at this moment. How could he hear what she said? He didnt remember many things now, especially those unhappy memories. He only remembered that he had waited for a long time, and she had finally married her.


    Susu, dont move. I love you. I have waited for this day for far, far too long.

 Chapter 1621. Thinking Back to The Past, I Was Still Too Serious

    Chapter 1621. Thinking Back to The Past, I Was Still Too Serious


    Yan Sus hands trembled slightly.


    She had always kept her eyes open, watching his jet-ck eyshes flutter. All of a sudden, she felt that everything was worth it.


    With his love, everything was worth it.


    Previously, with he behaved at the wedding ceremony, it was impossible for her not to mind at all. Although she knew that he was acting out of anger, that was still a wedding that a woman would only have once in her lifetime.


    However, it was no longer important at this moment.


    She just wanted to hold him until the end of time.


    However, she barely lost her resistance for a short while, and Mo Liuxi became even more aggressive.


    The Chinese-style dress that he had hired a famous embroidery master in Jiangnan to meticulously make was torn apart forcefully by him just like that.


    She cried out in surprise and waspletely speechless. She liked this dress very much and had nned to keep it well. Who would have thought that


    SusuHmm she basically had no strength left to resist. Her already weak body could only let him do whatever he wanted now.


    When they were making out ferociously in the room, the door outside was suddenly pushed open.


    Susu, do you guys want to Mo Jin had just opened the door when she heard her sons rough breathinging from inside. Although she could not see the scenery on the bed, she could see the scattered gowns and shirts on the floor.


    Her face turned red. She hurriedly went out and closed the door behind her.


    She gasped in her heart. This b*stard, he was so weird to his bride at the wedding ceremony. The guests hadnt left yet, and Susu hadnt even had lunch yet, but he had already dragged her to bed. What kind of nonsense was his son doing.


    At least he should wait until the wedding night. There were so many visiting guests from far away, how rude was it to neglect them.


    As a mother, she was having a headache.


    Why didnt you go in? Xu Zhengxuan walked over with Luosang and Nian Junting.


    Mom, ask Susu to have dinner too, Luosang said, Dont let her starve. She hasnt recovered yet.


    She had been a bride before, so she knew how hard it was to be a bride.


    She did not care about her brother at all. After all, he was a strong man.


    Uncle and the others areing from Luxembourg. Theyll be leaving soon, so we have to send them off, Nian Junting reminded her. Many rtives of the Mo family wereing from Luxembourg today.


    Mo Jin coughed awkwardly and said, Well its not good to call them now. Theyre asleep. Theyre probably too tired.


    Her answer was very reserved.


    Luosang frowned and said, The guests havent left yet, so why are they sleeping? Its understandable that Susu isnt feeling well, but Luoxi


    Before she could finish, she suddenly understood and said, They cant be doing that in the room


    Her red lips parted slightly, and her face turned red with surprise.


    Alright, Alright. Mo Jin waved her hand. As a mother, she felt embarrassed and said, They are young people, you have to understand. They are full of energy, and your brother drank too much.


    Xu Zhengxuan also felt embarrassed and said, I didnt behave like him even when I was drunk after my marriage ceremony.


    Yeah, me too. Nian Junting nodded in agreement, his handsome face filled withplicated emotions.


    I cant do anything about that. Mo Jin rubbed her forehead and said, Let Junting and Sangsang go see the guests off. Tell the public that the bride isnt feeling well, and that Liuxi is apanying her. Anyway, everyone knows that the bride fell into the water yesterday.


    Thats the only way. Luosang nodded helplessly, then walked out with Nian Junting.


    Nian Junting gently wrapped his arms around her waist, then said in a low and troubled tone, I used to be too serious. When we got married, why didnt I hook you up with me in the middle of the afternoon? Why did I wait until the evening obediently?

 Chapter 1622

    Chapter 1622


    Luosang nudged his lower abdomen in embarrassment, Thats inappropriate. If you dare to do that, Ill never let you go. How can you be so ridiculous? I think Liuxi is too inconsiderate. Susu was just fished out of the sea yesterday. She cant take it. She cant even have a wedding night consummation.


    Sonot everyone is as understanding as I am, Nian Junting smiled coldly and said, Luo Luo, Dont you think so?


    He was asking for appraisal again. luosang sighed and said, Ill talk to Liuxi about itter.


    Yeah, thats right. Tell him to learn from his brother-inw, Nian junting nodded and said, Luo Luo, look at how passionate young people are. Shouldnt we learn from him? After all, youre about the same age as Yan Su.


    Luo sang was embarrassed. She could not talk about this topic anymore. Did she really need to learn from her.


    She ignored him, but Nian Junting hugged her and said, Luo Luo, my baby Luo Luo


    Luo Luo had goosebumps all over her body. She could not take it anymore and said, Are you done?


    Nian Junting immediately shut his mouth. He felt that it wasnt enough, so he strongly disagreed.


    It was already 4:30 PM when Mo Liuxi woke up. Birds were chirping outside the window.


    He rubbed his head and turned to look. Yan Su was sleeping in his arms, her hands wrapped around his narrow waist. Her cheeks were red, and her body was as hot as a ball of fire.


    Mo Liuxi was so scared that he woke up all of a sudden. He hurriedly hugged her and gently called out, SusuSusu


    Yan Su opened her eyes in a daze and nced at him. Shezily burrowed into his chest. Its ufortable


    Here, you are having a fever. Mo Liuxi picked up the clothes and put them on her. He med himself. Why did he go crazy when he was drunk? Her body had not recovered to begin with.


    Fortunately, the two of them had brought clothes. He dressed her in thick clothes and quickly carried her out.


    Outside was the resting room. Mo Jin was anxious when she saw him carrying Yan Su out. You naughty child, you know that shes not well, but you didnt take it easy.


    Mo Liuxi frowned in frustration. He had drank too much previously and did not remember much. Ill take her to the hospital. Help me take care of Yan Yan.


    After saying that, he carried Yan Su and left in a hurry.


    Xu Zhengxuan sighed. Are they spending their consummation night at the hospital? Its the first time Ive heard of such a thing


    Let them be. Mo Jin waved her hand. They were already married, so they could not care too much. They just needed to take care of themselves and their granddaughter.


    After Mo Liuxi drove to the hospital, the doctor took her temperature and it was already 39.8 degrees. He could only put her on an IV drip as the treatment.


    Yan Sus fever had been so bad that she felt dizzy. When she woke up, it was already eight oclock at night, and her stomach was burning.


    She opened her eyes and looked at the man lying on the side of the bed. She grunted, Hungry.


    She had not eaten for two meals, and now she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.


    Mo Liuxi immediately got up and opened the insted box. When he opened it, she could smell the fragrant chicken soup oozing out.


    He held the spoon and fed her spoonful by spoonful. Looking at her pale face, he lowered his eyes slightly. I shouldnt have drunk had I know this would happen, I wouldnt have been able to control myself when I drank too much.

 Chapter 1623. Who Will Compensate Me for My Wedding Night

    Chapter 1623. Who Will Compensate Me for My Wedding Night


    Yan Su saw his thin lips pursing in annoyance. In fact, she felt even more guilty in her heart.


    It was supposed to be a good wedding night. If she had not fallen into the sea and caused her poor health, she would not have been sent to the hospital.


    Do you know what you said when you were drunk? She suddenly looked sideways and said with a smile.


    Mo Liuxi was stunned. He could not remember anything, but with his personality, he probably knew what he would say.


    His dazzling face suddenly became awkwardl.


    You said you loved me, Yan Su said with a smile, You didnt say it at the wedding ceremony today, but I was quite happy that you said itter. But you really shouldnt have torn my dress. I still wanted to keep it well. Why are you so forceful?


    Mo Liuxi was embarrassed. He thought that he did not live up to his expectations and insisted on being strong for a few days. But in the end, he sumbed to her beauty before night fell. I drank too much and was seduced by your beauty for a moment.


    Yan Su burst outughing. After she finishedughing, she suddenly froze. So we stayed in the room this afternoon and did not go out after that?


    Mo Liuxi looked at her indifferently. I dont know. I drank so much and when I woke up, it was already past four oclock.


    Yan Su was embarrassed. If he did not know, then she did not know either.


    After drinking so much alcohol, his vitality was still so good, abusing her like a piece of sticine. She did not have any strength in the first ce, butter, she waspletely exhausted by him. She did not even know when he finished, as she fainted in advance.


    What about the guests? Yan Su wanted to die. There was absolutely no pair of a newly-wed couple like them who rolled together in the middle of the day.


    My mother said that my sister and the others have sent them off. Dont worry. Mo Liuxi looked at her breaking down and a smile appeared in his eyes.


    How Can I be assured? Yan Sus face was incredibly red. How am I going to face people in the future?


    My sister announced to the public that you were not feeling well and that I was apanying you. Everyone can understand, Mo Liuxi said indifferently.


    I dont have the face to face Sangsang either. Yan Su wanted to cry, but no tears came out.


    Mo Liuxi snorted. Youve already seduced her brother away, why are you still talking about your face?


    Yan Su thought sorrowfully. Now sangsang must think that she used her bedroom skills to seduce her brother away. She was really wronged.


    Stop nagging. Open your mouth, Mo Liuxi ordered, and a piece of chicken was directly stuffed into her mouth.


    Yan Su chewed it. It was fragrant and sweet.


    In the past, she had to endure every illness by herself. Now that she had a hubby, it was still different. No matter how angry hubby was, he still prepared to eat and drink on the side of the hospital bed.


    Liuxi, you eat too.


    What are you calling me? Mo Liuxiszy gaze swept over.


    Hubby. Yan Su forcefully changed her tone. But didnt you not want me to call you that during the day?


    I dont like it, but didnt you take the initiative to call me that just now? Did I force you? Mo Liuxi asked with a fake smile.


    No.Yan Su smiled. I did it voluntarily.


    Good girl. Mo Liuxi was still satisfied, You said that if I married you, I would have to spend my wedding night in the hospital. This ispletely different from what I thought before. My original n was to return to our carefully decorated vi and spend the night there. Then, I would fly to Find the next day and spend a few more nights there. Now, its all gone. Who willpensate me for my wedding night?


    Yan Su suddenly felt her legs trembling.

 Chapter 1624. I Dont Want to Always Be the One to Take the Initiative. Im Tired

    Chapter 1624. I Don''t Want to Always Be the One to Take the Initiative. I''m Tired


    At this moment, she was so d that she came to the hospital.


    This was the first time she felt that IV drip infusion treatment was so wonderful.


    How do you want topensate me? Mo Liuxi saw that she did not speak, so he reminded her repeatedly.


    UhActually, didnt we also did it in the afternoon? Yan Su said awkwardly, Take it aspensation.


    Im drunk. I dont remember anything. Mo Liuxi snorted. Get well quickly and make it up to me. I dont want to always be the one taking the initiative. Im tired.


    Yan Su blinked. So


    Next time, you take the initiative. Mo Liuxi continued to put chicken meat in her mouth. Anyway, youve already experienced great storms in the real sea. I think no one can exhaust your stamina anymore.


    Yan Su was about to break down as she chewed on the chicken.


    She had been through great storms before, but what did that have to do with this.


    It was not easy for her to finish her dinner. Only then did she find out that she still needed a bottle of anti-inmmatory water. After the infusion, we can go back. I think Im already better.


    Mo Liuxi frowned and did not quite agree until Yan Su said, I dont want to live in the hospital on such a special day. I dont want to smell the disinfectant. I want to go back and take a look at our new room. I want to see how well you decorated it. Dont worry, I wont force myself.


    Hearing her words, Mo Liuxi did not force her.


    After the infusion was done at around nine oclock, Yan Su was helped to sit up slowly from the bed.


    Mo Liuxi bent down to help her put on her shoes and tie her shoces.


    When Yan Su wanted to get out of bed, he bent down in front of her and gestured for her to climb on his back.


    Her lips moved slightly, but before she could say anything, he had already turned around. Hurry up, I dont want you to die of exhaustion and change your wife early. Yan Su, you owe me too much. You have to apany me until Im seventy or eighty years old.


    Yes, sir. Yan Su pursed her lips and smiled. Shey on his back and even leaned over to kiss his cheek.


    Dont be restless.Mo Liuxi red at her.


    Oh, then I wont kiss you anymore.Yan Su nodded and said.


    I mean you can kiss me directly on the mouth, Mo Liuxi quickly said. What a joke. How could his woman not take the initiative in the future.


    Yan Su smiled. Turn your face around.


    When Mo Liuxi heard that, he hurriedly raised his neck and waited for her to kiss him. However, after waiting for a long time, she still kissed his cheek. He was angry. Yan Su.


    Im already very serious. Yan Su nodded. Im not joking.


    Mo Liuxi was so angry that heughed. I see that your body has recovered. You can even joke now.


    Alright, lets go home. Yan Su wrapped her arms around his neck.


    Mo Liuxi snorted and carried her downstairs.


    On the way back, Yan Su looked at the night scenery on the street and suddenly said, Stop, stop, stop. I saw a milk tea shop. I want to drink milk tea.


    Youre really bossing me around, Mo Liuxi said, but he still drove the car slowly to the roadside and stopped.


    And add a piece of cake, Yan Su felt that her mouth had no taste at all.


    Mo Liuxi said arrogantly, When did I promise you to buy it?


    Ill go by myself if you dont go, Yan Su said and was about to unbuckle her seatbelt.


    Mo Liuxi immediately stopped her and warned, Dont move, Ill go.


    Yan Su smiled and said, Hubby, I didnt realize it before, but now I think you look so cute. I finally understand why Sangsang likes her hubby so much.


    Dontpare me to Nian Junting, mo Liuxi denied, Men cant be said to be cute, they can only be said to be awesome.


    After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

 Chapter 1625. LiuxI and Yan Su (Extra Final)

    Chapter 1625. LiuxI and Yan Su (Extra Final)


    However, when they walked towards the milk tea shop, the corner of his lips could not help but curl up.


    She actually praised him for being cute. How was he cute.


    He had a cold attitude towards her, yet she still praised him. He could not understand what were the women thinking.


    However, when he walked into the milk tea shop, he still took a nce at the window. Tonight, he was still wearing a suit. Under the orchidmp, he looked exquisite and elegant.


    Someone in the shop immediately recognized him and whispered, Its Mo Liuxi.


    Isnt he and Yan Su getting married today? is he here to buy milk tea for Yan Su? I heard that Yan Su loves drinking milk tea the most.


    So happy.


    Mo Liuxi ignored everyones attention and bought a cup of milk tea before leaving.


    After getting into the car, Yan Su was stunned with therge cup of milk tea in her hands. Why did you only buy one cup, and its such a big cup


    Ill drink it with you. Mo Liuxi nced at her. Were already married, do we have to drink milk tea separately?


    Yan Su was speechless. Why did they have to drink a cup of milk tea together when they were married? I have a fever and a cold


    A fever doesnt spread to others. Mo Liuxi started the car.


    The two of them drank a cup of milk tea together and returned to the vi. When they reached home, they saw the bottom of the cup and even ate all the pearls inside.


    Yan Su had just gotten out of the car when Mo Liuxi carried her in his arms. I have some strength now.


    Shut up. Mo Liuxi nced at her and carried her into the house.


    As they walked in, the room was filled with pink and blue balloons. When they entered the master bedroom, the lights in the room were not turned on. The neon lights dyed theyout of the forest. There were fresh flowers on every small shelf, petals scattered on the ground, and wedding candies on the bright red quilt, on the wall, there were wedding photos of the two of them. On the side were the words Da Xi. At the end of the bed, there was a small wooden table. On the wooden table, there were red wine and goblets.


    Yan Su was stunned. It was as if she had entered the forest world in a fairy tale. A few more steps and her eyes would be moist.


    How she hated that she did not have a healthy body tonight. She could imagine how long he had meticulously arranged everything in the room.


    Liuxi, its so beautiful. She looked up at the man above her.


    Yes, its a pity that you almost couldnt see it. Mo Liuxi smiled bitterly.


    Liuxi, I promise you that I will put you and Yan Yan first in the future, Yan Su said seriously. I dont care about principles. I only care about my family.


    Yan Su, remember what you said today.Mo Liuxi put her on the bed and turned around to pour the bathwater.


    At night, the two of them hugged each other in the bathtub. Layers andyers of roses were floating on the water.


    Mo Liuxi gently stroked her exposed shoulder, which was like white jade. You said you loved me. When did you fall in love with me?


    Yan Su tilted her head to look at him and thought for a while, then, she said, When I was captured by Jin Yon, a lot of things happened that night. I was very scared and felt very wronged. When you called me, the moment I heard your voice, I suddenly realized that I had fallen in love with you a long time ago.


    Mo Liuxi stared at her for a while and suddenly pinched her cheek in a bad mood. You know that I wasnt feeling well that night, so you deliberately said that to please me, right?


    Its true.


    Mo Liuxi was a little depressed but also a little surprised.


    As expected, she had secured him for this life.

 Chapter 1626. Captain Nian

    Chapter 1626. Captain Nian


    It was the beginning of spring, and it was drizzling outside the window.


    Nian Xi bent down and poured the dog food into the dog bowl. Jiangjiang ran over and wagged his tail as he licked it.


    Be Good. Nian Xi caressed its soft fur. Before she realized it, Jiangjiang was already three years old, and that person had been gone for two and a half years.


    She didnt know if he was still alive.


    She didnt know how he was doing now.


    She tried hard to think, but she suddenly realized that she didnt remember Jiang Yunings face clearly anymore. Perhaps it was because she was approaching thirty, and her memory was not as good as before.


    She sighed lightly, got up, took her coat, and quickly left home.


    She drove to the police station, and in less than twenty minutes, she was constantly greeted at the station.


    Behind her, a new police officer whispered, It cant be. Is she the captain of the first team of our headquarters? Why is she so young? And shes a woman.


    Why cant a woman be a captain? She may be young, but she made the most outstanding contributions to the criminal convictions in Xia City during the past two years. Last year, she even worked together with the criminal police from other provinces to solve arge transnational drug trafficking case. She single-handedly captured the leader of the crime group.


    Not only that, she even destroyed a human trafficking group that was suspected of child trafficking in twelve provinces. She captured seven or eight human traffickers and saved more than thirty children. She received widespread praise in society.


    I really cant tell. I wonder what kind of man can control such a woman.


    Shes better than man. Who dares to court her?


    Nian Xi kicked open the office door and sat inside. She flipped through the documents and ate breakfast.


    Fang Qi smelled the breakfast as soon as he came in. Seeing Nian Xi, he sighed helplessly. Captain Nian, Demon Nian


    Who are you calling? Nian XI nced at him coldly.


    Fang Qi chuckled. Now the people in the Bureau have given you such a nickname.


    Did you catch that crazy murderer, Wan Yimin? Nian Xi asked sharply.


    Fang Qis smile froze and he said embarrassedly, That guy is too cunning. Ive already issued a warrant for his arrest. No matter where he goes, Ill definitely dig him out within a month.


    To put it bluntly, you shouldnt have let him escape in the first ce. You deserve that you still cant get promoted, Nian Xi said faintly.


    Captain Nian, not everyone is as fierce and perverted as you are, Fang Qi sighed, Nian XI, youre still a girl. I know why youre doing this, but if professor Jianges back one day and youre not here, hell be hurt.


    Didnt you all think that its impossible for him toe back? Nian XI sneered faintly.


    Fang Qi touched his nose. They all did think so.


    Nian Xi didnt argue with him. Just then, the chief of the bureau called and asked her to go up.


    Have you eaten breakfast? You can have the rest. Dont waste it. Nian Xi threw the breakfast to him.


    Fang Qi felt a little sorry for her. Others only saw her tough side, but they seemed to have forgotten that Nian Xi used to be like an ordinary police officer. However, ever since that person went missing, she seemed to have be a different person. She was working hard, and she had almost disguised herself as an iron man.


    She had solved many cases by taking huge risks. She did catch many bad guys, but no one had noticed her injuries.

 Chapter 1627. An Encrypted Email From Jiang Yunin

    Chapter 1627. An Encrypted Email From Jiang Yunin


    At the directors office.


    Nian Xi gently knocked on the door and found two familiar faces sitting inside. One was Xu Gang, whom she had not seen since Jiang Yuning went missing, and the other was Feng Jichuan, who rarely came back after he went to Interpol.


    Nian Xi, no, its captain Nian now. Long time no see, Xu Gang smiled and stood up to shake her hand.


    Nian XIs hand trembled slightly as she went forward to shake his hand. You guys came this time did you have news of him?


    After he left for so long, there was no news at all. Now, it seemed like there was finally a glimmer of hope.


    Take a seat first, the director said.


    Nian Xi sat silently on the empty chair beside Feng Jichuan.


    Nian XI, youve lost weight. Feng Jichuan looked at her and sighed softly. A girl should know to take it easy.


    In his eyes, she would always be the little girl from back then. He had wanted to protect her, but she no longer needed him.


    I thought you would say that Ive be stronger. Nian Xi smiled. In the past, when she solved cases, he always helped her secretly behind her back. Now, she couldpletely fend for herself and became an excellent police officer like him, How is it? How are you doing in the outside world?


    Feng Jichuan rubbed between his eyebrows. Its morefortable to stay in Xia City.


    The two of you stop reminiscing, the bureau director said with a smile. Nian Xi, this time, officer Xu came to look for your help with the TOX organization case.


    Nian Xi, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up. Her gaze was sharp and excited.


    Xu Gang smiled, Last time, I heard that you solved a major international drug trafficking case and even caught Jie Wen, who is a drug lord from Australia. Nian Xi, youre very capable. Jie Wen made police from other Southeast Asian countries gnash their teeth in hatred, but he was so crafty that he couldnt be caught. You led a team to Yunnan and joined forces to capture him. Youve made all of us look at you in a new light.


    Nian Xi remained silent. Even though those things were her aplishments, she wasnt very interested.


    So I mentioned you to the higher-ups. Youre Jiang Yunings girlfriend, so youre very clear about what happened back then. Now that were short-handed, the leader has agreed to temporarily transfer you over, Xu Gang felt guilty, no matter what, he was responsible for separating the two of them back then. But I want to tell you that this case is very dangerous


    I can do it, Nian XI interrupted. Ive worked so hard for this day. Its been almost three years. You promised me three years back then, but I havent heard anything from you. I really dont know how much longer I can wait.


    Her voice was slightly bitter. Feng Jichuan pursed his thin lips. W havent heard from Jiang Yuning untilst month. Our people finally received an encrypted email from Jiang Yuning from Mexico.


    Nian Xi clenched her fists. She remembered that when he had left, Xu Gang had told him not to contact them. They would only take action after he gained their full trust. What had he experienced in the past two years? Is he in Mexico?


    Xu Gang shook his head. Hes not here. He just came to Mexico to do something. He just revealed that Toxs organization is in Samoa.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She had never heard of this ce.


    Feng Jichuan exined, Samoa is an independent country, located in the Southern Pacific Ocean. Its quite small. It used to be a tax haven, but has been slightly stricter in the past few years.

 Chapter 1628. Nian Xi, I hope You Can Come Back Safely

    Chapter 1628. Nian Xi, I hope You Can Come Back Safely


    Nian Xi nodded. She was also a police officer, so she understood.


    Although the economy had improved by leaps and bounds, it was actually not safe on many unknown inds overseas. There were even some business criminals who had fled overseas. She had arrested quite a few of them before.


    Xu Gang exined, We have discussed with other members of Interpol. When the timees, we will send a few people to infiltrate Samoa first to find out more information. Moreover, we have to get the contact information with Jiang Yuning as soon as possible, and know the number of people and firepower of the TOX organization. After all, that is another country. Even if we want to take action, we have to have deatiled evidence and concrete targets. In addition, we do not want to inform the criminal police of Samoa for the time being. I am worried that the TOX organization has a huge influence in their areas and there will also be spies. In the past two years, the TOX organization has be more and more rampant. When one crime group was captured, another crime group would appear. As one stronghold destroyed, another will appear. We need to capture their leader s honce and for all.


    I told the higher-ups that your English is very good, Feng Jichuan said in a low voice. It would be troublesome if you cant speak thenguage.


    Nian Xi looked at him in a daze.


    Xu Gang said, Jichuan is the leader of this operation. If it wasnt for his rmendation, the higher-ups might not have agreed to transfer you.


    Nian Xi did not expect that Feng Jichuan would be the leader of Interpol after quite a few years. Although she knew of his abilities and skills, she was still very shocked. However, in the past, she would think about the distance between the two of them and chase after him. Now, she realized that it was no longer important. As long as it was to go after the bad guys, nothing else was important.


    Thank you, she said sincerely.


    Feng Jichuan smiled bitterly, I think your brother would definitely kill me if he knew. However, seeing that you are working so hard, I understand your mind. However, I still hope that you think clearly. This operation is very, very dangerous. If you have to rely on yourself, I might not be able to


    I can, Nian Xi said without hesitation.


    She might have been scared in the past, but a timid and weak person like Jiang Yuning became a spy now. She knew that he did not care about punishing evil. What he cared about was his and her future, and that was why she powered through it.


    Now that he had news, she wanted to meet him and bring him back safely.


    She couldnt do anything in the past, but she could do something in the future.


    She couldnt do anything in the past, but she was different now.


    Since you think theres no problem, then go ahead, the director said. Ill temporarily leave the matters in your hands to other team leaders. Nian Xi, I hope you cane back safely. Ive been waiting for your wedding for a long time.


    Thank you, Director.


    Nian Xi came out of the office.


    Nian XI once again thanked Feng Jichuan solemnly. Bro, thank you.


    Feng Jichuan felt a little bitter in his heart when she called him bro, but he quickly felt relieved. This was good too, just like before.. Nian XI, theres nothing to thank me. In the past, I opposed you two because I was jealous, envious, and ufortable. Now that time has passed, no matter who youre with, I sincerely hope that youll be happy. If that person is Jiang Yuning, Ill do my best to help you get him back. I really want to see the moment you put on your wedding dress.


    Nian Xi nodded. What about you? When are you getting married? I really want to drink your wedding wine. I heard from my brother that you have a girlfriend.


    Feng Jichuan clenched his fist and coughed awkwardly. Xu Gang smiled. Hes with our colleague, Xu Dannan.


    Congrattions.


    Nian Xi shook his hand.

 Chapter 1629. She Wouldnt Have Recognized Him as Jiang Yuning

    Chapter 1629. She Wouldn''t Have Recognized Him as Jiang Yuning


    Two dayster.


    At the airport, Nian Junting drove Nian XI to the airport.


    On the way, it was eerily quiet. Nian Juntings face was gloomy the whole time.


    Brother Nian Xi tilted her head and looked at him apologetically. This time, its different from the past. Take good care of our parents


    Shut up, Nian Junting nced at her coldly. Nian Xi, its our parents. Think about what youve done to them all these years. Youre a cop, but youre also a child of your parents. To be honest, I dont want you to go.


    I didnt agree with Jiang Yuning going either, but he still went, Nian Xi said. I heard that you were the one who came up with the idea of him being an undercover.


    Nian Junting was a little speechless. If he had known that Nian Xi was going on her own, he would have separated the two of them, So I didnt stop you from going. I only have one request. No matter if youre missing an arm or a leg, you have toe back alive.


    Nian Xi curled her lips and said, Can you say something nice? Ille back intact. You said that when I get married, youll give me a Lamborghini of limited edition.


    Youre already a captain, how can you have the nerve to drive a Lamborghini? Nian Junting sneered, but a faint smile still appeared in his eyes.


    When they arrived at the airport, Feng Jichuan was already waiting for them. Nian Junting punched him in the chest and said, You get the higher-ups to send Nian Xi over. What kind of stupid idea is that?


    That punch wasnt light. Feng Jichuan was knocked back a few steps. He rubbed his stomach and said with a smile, Why didnt allow Nian Xi to marry me? You deserve this.


    Shut up, Nian Junting said angrily, Keep an eye on Nian Xi. If she gets hurt, Ill cut you off.


    Feng Jichuan clicked his tongue and said, Dont worry, Ill do my best. If she really dies, she can only me herself for not being able to do anything.


    You


    Lets go, Feng Jichuan picked up Nian Xis luggage.


    Brother, Im leaving. Dont cry, Nian Xi waved her hand smilingly.


    Get out of here. I never cry in my life,Nian Junting said coldly.


    When the two figures slowly disappeared from his sight, Nian Juntings eyes were red. He turned around and blinked hard, The air in the airport isnt good, and there is sand in my eyes.


    When they arrived at Beijing Airport, three criminal police officers were waiting there. There were five of them, including Nian Xi and Feng Jichuan. Feng Jichuan took them to another airport, and it took them almost two days to reach Samoa.


    This small ind was located in the pacific ocean, and the weather was pleasant.


    The four of them pretended to be tourists and they disguised as two couples. After they checked into the hotel, Feng Jichuan immediately called everyone to meet with the undercover criminal police officers who hade earlier.


    This is officer Ryan from Italy, Feng Jichuan introduced him to everyone. He contacted us after he received an encrypted email from Jiang Yuning in Mexico. After that, he came to Samoa.


    I stayed here for more than 20 days, Ryan said in English. I only met Professor Jiang once at the equipment store near the school.


    Then, Ryan took out the photo.


    Nian Xis pupils constricted. She was the first one to pick up the photo. There was only a silhouette in the photo. The man in the photo was wearing a very ordinary gray shirt and knee-length shorts. His hair was cut into a buzz cut and he had stubble. His skin was much darker and he gave off a gloomy aura. If she didnt look closely, she wouldnt have recognized him as Jiang Yuning.

 Chapter 1630. I Need to Be More Beautiful

    Chapter 1630. I Need to Be More Beautiful


    In the past few years, Nian Xi had thought about what he had be.


    In such an extreme environment, it would be impossible for him to be as pure as a piece of nk paper. However, when she saw that he had changed, she felt her heart ache.


    Jiang Yuning in front of her was really unfamiliar.


    Three years was not a short period of time, but it was not that long. However, if both of them had changed, would they be able to return to their previous life after they got back together?


    She was at a loss for a moment.


    While she was in a daze, Shen Bing, who was on the same team, took the photo away. After looking at it, she said, Did he leave any messages?


    Yes, Ryan said. During that time, he went to buy a cup of coffee and used his hand gestures to express that it was April 19th in Mala.


    Everyone looked at each other for a while, and after a while, Feng Jichuan said, It seems that there is some major transaction in Mala on April 19th. This city is close to the sea, and its likely the transaction is near the dock. Over the years, the TOX organization has always dumped some illegal research supplies around the world to make huge profits. However, this is just my guess. We still need to see Jiang Yuning. Do you know where he lives?


    Ryan said awkwardly, Its hard to see him. Last time he went out, there were people following him. But I know that he lives in a fish farm near the sea. This fish farm mainly depends on catching tuna and then exporting it to other countries. Its a big business, but now it seems that the tuna export is just a pretense.


    Feng Jichuan nodded. But since hes doing business, its easy. Tomorrow, Nian Xi and I will pretend to be merchants and go to the fish farm to take a look


    Captain, are you going to do it yourself? Lei Yichen was a little worried.


    Tomorrows operation is very important. We dont know anything about the situation inside. Its too dangerous for you to go. Im worried too. You guys can wait for us outside. Feng Jichuan solemnly decided on the n.


    The next day, Nian Xi and Feng Jichuan disguised themselves. Nian Xis long ck hair was scattered, and she wore a deep V-neck red dress. Her lipstick was tomato-colored, and she wore a pair of light yellow sunsses. Although her facial features were handsome, they were also pretty, and she was tall. After dressing up, she looked charming.


    Feng Jichuan was stunned when he saw her. Why are you dressed like this? Didnt I tell you to dress like an old-fashioned jewelry?


    Nowadays, many rich bosses wives were like what he described, so he even disguised himself with a big belly. He wore sses, and his teeth were deliberately yellowed.


    Nian Xi stroked her long hair and smiled. Sorry, Im your lover now.


    Feng Jichuan:


    Who would bring their wife to a ce like this? Nian Xi rolled her eyes. Besides, I havent seen Jiang Yuning for a long time. I have to be more beautiful and let him know that Im not only beautiful, but also very flirtatious.


    Feng Jichuans mouth twitched. He thought to himself that she was literally a tomboy, and she didnt look beautiful at all. Now she had to pretend to be flirty, but her pretense seemed to be sessful.


    Forget it, lets go.


    The two of them arrived at the fish farm by car. It was close to the beach, and the main door was closed. Only a small door was open, but the smell of fish drifted in from outside.


    Feng Jichuan led Nian Xi over. The guard at the door immediately came out and asked in English, Who are you? What do you want?


    Nian Xi said charmingly, We are Chinese businessmen. I heard that you export tuna, so I wanted toe and take a look. My hubby has more than a hundred seafood supermarket chains in the country and needs arge amount of salmon.

 Chapter 1631. Reunion

    Chapter 1631. Reunion


    Feng Jichuan handed over his business card while Nian Xi continued to pretend to trante for him, Can we go inside and take a look? If its possible, I would like to meet with the person-in-charge here. Right now, salmon from both Northern Europe and Canada are especially expensive. Were here to look for a new supplier. I heard that your business is quiterge-scale, so the price can be negotiated.


    The guard judged them for awhile. Wait a minute.


    After he said that, he walked into the security office and made a call. After a while, a tanned and tall man walked out. After both parties had exchanged their business cards,


    Nian Xi and Fen Jichuan then learned that he was the manager here, Mo Sa.


    Mo Sa led them inside. When they were entering, they saw many fresh tuna of all sizes hanging inside the factory. Some were being dissected, and the temperature inside was rtively low. There was a fishy smell everywhere, and some made people want to vomit.


    Nian Xi listened to Mo Sas introduction along the way and quietly looked around.


    As an excellent criminal police officer, she soon realized that there was something wrong inside, especially the bodies and arms of those who killed fish were particrly firm. If they had been killing fish all year round, they might not have such muscr bodies.


    After passing through a factory, Nian Xi looked at the factory behind and asked, Are there tuna fish inside that as well?


    Thats the freezer and other peoples goods, Mo sa smiled. Its not open for outsiders to see. Our size is just like this. You saw it just now. These tuna fish were caught from the sea. You can try them.


    As he spoke, he led them to the office. A thin figure walked out from behind the factory. Under the hot sun, one could clearly see his facial features. The corners of his mouth were covered with stubble. He was wearing a white shirt and had a pair of slippers on his feet, there was a faint scar on his right cheek. His eyes were unusually gloomy and cold.


    Nian Xi suddenly felt her head buzzing. The scorching sun on top of her head made her feel a little dizzy.


    She had seen him in the photos before, but it was never as clear as this moment.


    If she had not leaned against Feng Jichuan, she might not have been able to stand still.


    Feng Jichuan quickly pinched her waist and woke her up.


    Jiang Yuning, who was opposite them, also saw the two of them. However, his face did not change at all. He only lowered his eyes and walked towards them casually.


    Mr. Jiang, Mo sa actually smiled when he saw him. Why are you out today?


    Jiang Yuning looked at him expressionlessly and then asked indifferently, Are they here to procure?


    Yes, Ill bring them to try the tuna, Mo sa said.


    Jiang Yuning frowned and thought for a few seconds. Is it fresh? Give me some too.


    Please give me a second, Ill serve it to youter


    Before Mo Sa could finish, Jiang Yuning had already strode into the office.


    Nian Xi pretended to smile and asked, This is He seems to be Chinese too.


    Yes, he is a rtive of our boss. He cuts tuna very well. Mo Sa smiled. But he will probably be our bosss son-inw soon.


    Is that so? Nian Xi nced at the figure in front of her. Seeing that the other party did not say anything, she could not help but pinch Feng Jichuans flesh.


    Feng Jichuan was in a lot of pain, but he could only try his best to endure it.


    He felt that he was really unlucky. His ex-girlfriend and boyfriend had problems, yet he still had to vent his anger on him. Was it easy for him.


    Is he worthy of your miss? Nian Xi pouted and whispered to Mo Sa, His face is disfigured.

 Chapter 1632. Xi Xi, now is not the time to be jealXi Xi, now is not the time to be jealousous

    Chapter 1632. Xi Xi, now is not the time to be jealXi Xi, now is not the time to be jealousous


    Jiang Yunings hand froze for a second.


    There was no way Mo Sa could notice that and heughed. Then your Chinese people have quite a different aesthetic from our Samoan side. I think Mr. Jiang is more popr here.


    Nian Xi pursed her lips. That was true. The men here were all tall and strong. They were as strong as they could be.


    Help me put some in, Jiang Yuning suddenly turned half of his face and said in a low voice.


    Okay, Mo Sa took the bowl and filled it with a lot of tuna. He said meaningfully, Mr. Jiang, youre not well. Its better for you to go in earlier.


    I know. Jiang Yuning took the bowl and lightly drew two circles with his fingers in the direction where Nian Xi and Feng Jichuan were standing. He knocked three times.


    Nian Xi nced at the sight that disappeared from her eyes before smiling and tasting the tuna with Feng Jichuan. The taste is really good. This price


    The three of them then discussed the price of the tuna, but they did not reach an agreement for the time being.


    Finally, Nian Xi said, Let us think about it. Oh right, wheres your bathroom? I would like to use.


    Mo Sa pointed to the back, and Nian Xi immediately ran over with her skirt.


    There were no male or female restrooms in the factory. After Nian Xi went in, she searched for a long time and found a small SD card from the cracks in the bricks on the ground. Then, she put it into her handbag and walked out.


    When she left, she saw a figure standing in the house on the second floor. She nced at it without leaving a trace and then went to meet up with Feng Jichuan.


    The two of them left the fish farm. When they came out, they saw a small ck car driving into the factory from the main entrance. The rear window was only slightly opened, but Nian Xi still caught a glimpse of a blonde woman behind.


    Ten minutester, she got into Ryans car. Nian Xi took out the SD card from her bag. Jiang Yuning had told them to go to the bathroom when they were eating.


    Its obvious that he made the SD card himself. Feng Jichuan took the SD card and smiled. This kid is quite capable.


    Nian Xi didnt say anything and was a little absent-minded. It wasnt until Feng Jichuan pushed her that Nian XI said, The woman who got into the car just now, is she the so-called bosss daughter?


    Ive never seen that face before. Feng Jichuans eyes were solemn. Xi Xi, now is not the time to be jealous. Jiang Yuning is not bad-looking, and he is also knowledgeable. Its not strange for a woman to like him.


    I didnt say anything. Nian Xis heart was slightly troubled. She only felt that she had been too calm when she had met Jiang Yuning for a short while. Although she should be like this as a spy, she still felt slightly disappointed.


    After all, she was dressed so beautifully today. He should at least take a few more nces at her.


    Hows the situation inside? Ryan asked.


    On the surface, they sell fishes, but the big warehouse at the back is very suspicious. Moreover, their prices are too high, and they are not very sincere in wanting to do business with us. The skills of killing fish inside are not bad. No matter where we go, there were people watching closely, Feng Jichuan said.


    Ryan nodded, and the three of them did not say anything else.


    After returning to the hotel, Feng Jichuan released the SD card. Inside it was some internal information of the TOX organization and some of the strongholds he knew. In addition, until now, Jiang Yuning had never met the leader of the TOX organization, on the surface, everything was handled by the leaders daughter, Manda. There was also a photo of Manda inside.

 Chapter 1633. He was powerless

    Chapter 1633. He was powerless


    Nian Xi looked at Mandas photo carefully.


    In the end, she concluded that she was good-looking, but definitely not as good-looking as herself. Moreover, she looked like a vixen.


    Moreover, a bad girl like her should be captured and shot.


    In another encrypted document, Jiang Yuning also brought the most important information. TOX had a secret operation in Mala on April 19th. It was not clear what it was, but it should be rted to dark energy.


    In the past two years, in order to gain the trust of the organization, Jiang Yuning had already leaked some of his research results.


    Feng Jichuan read through the contents of the memory and gasped, Jiang Yuning said that his organization has already used dark energy to develop an umbre that can be invisible. This is also the reason why he was able to gain the trust of the organization. It is because he has contributed greatly to this umbre.


    Everyone looked at each other. Lei Yichen said in disbelief, Can such a thing really be created?


    Nowadays, science is advancing day by day. Its just that some illegal things are not allowed by the country to develop in that direction, but that it doesnt mean that it cant be done, Feng Jichuan said, In the past, the United States had nned to develop a quantum invisibility cloak. It was said that it was under in-depth research, but to achieve apletely invisible invisibility cloak, it had never been invented. However, Jiang Yuning said that although the TOX organization had developed it, the production materials were too expensive and the cost was too high. Currently, there was only one sample. After the contract was negotiated and the money received, it could be mass-produced. This Mala operation might be to sign thisrge-scale contract.


    Shen Bing gasped. This is too scary. If this thing was sold, the consequences would be unimaginable. Jiang Yuning shouldnt have developed such a thing.


    If he didnt do this, how could he gain trust? Nian Xi couldnt help but say, He will always be imprisoned by their organization. How could he tell us about criminals? They have developed more than one dangerous project.


    Nian Xi is right, Feng Jichuan said solemnly, Jiang Yuning threw out a bait. Now that the fish are about to run out, we must catch all the fish that escaped. I will inform the higher-ups. This time, we must catch all their main executives. Everyone, rest well for the next few days. After that, we will go to Mala.


    After the meeting, Feng Jichuan was ready to go back to his room, but Nian Xi chased after him. Will Jiang Yuning go to Mala this time? If he doesnt go, will he be in danger here after the operation? Hes powerless.


    I dont even know if hell go. Feng Jichuan frowned and thought. Dont worry, our people wont all leave


    Ill stay, Nian Xi said. Ill keep an eye on the fish farm. If he goes there, well go together. If hes in danger, Ill save him.


    Feng Jichuan rubbed the space between his eyebrows, Nian Xi, no matter what, I dont want you to go into the fish farm. You saw it today. They dont allow us to go in many ces. We dont know whats going on inside or if theres an ambush. Besides, the economy in Samoa is already in a slump, and there are a lot of criminals. You cant count on their local department


    Ill y it by ear, Nian Xi interrupted him. In any case, Ill put the mission first and never expose myself in advance.

 Chapter 1634. When Did He Learn How to Smoke

    Chapter 1634. When Did He Learn How to Smoke


    Remember what you have said. Dont ever forget that your identity is first as a police officer, and second as Jiang Yunings girlfriend, Feng Jichuan said seriously.


    On the 11th of April, Feng Jichuan led a team to Mala.


    Nian Xi and Lei Yichen stayed behind. Lei Yichen was forced to stay by Feng Jichuan.


    That night, Nian Xi secretly hid near the fish farm and ended up bing the mosquitoes buffet.


    Although Lei Yichens skin was rough and his flesh was thick, the mosquitoes here were too vicious. Even if he sprayed mosquito repellent, he was still bitten by the mosquitoes until he was covered in blisters.


    I really dont understand why we have toe over tonight. Lei Yichens face was full of depression. They will meet tomorrow. Its only an hours flight from here to Mala. They have a private jet. If they want to leave, they will leave tomorrow.


    Just in case. Nian Xi lowered her voice and said in annoyance, What if they leave today?


    As she spoke, she pped her own face and a huge mosquito fell directly into the grass.


    Lei Yichen looked at her in admiration. Does professor Jiang know that youre so manly.


    Nian Xi silently nced at him. Does your wife know that youre so sissy, since youre so scared of mosquito bites.


    Lei Yichen:


    The two of them waited for more than half an hour. At eleven oclock at night, a ck sedan drove into the factory. Nian Xi recognized it. Previously, Manda had entered the factory sitting in this car, but why had shee to the factory sote.


    After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the ck sedan drove out again. However, just as it turned a corner, the sedan suddenly stopped.


    The driver walked out of the front passenger seat. The rear window of the sedan was opened. Manda seemed to be talking to the driver. Beside Manda Sat Jiang Yuning. In the dim car, he was smoking a cigarette.


    It seems that theres something wrong with the car. Lei Yichen walked to Nian Xis ear and whispered, Why do you think it suddenly broke down? Could it be that professor Jiang used some tricks?


    Nian Xi nodded. Although she did not understand physics, it was not impossible for someone like Jiang Yuning to quietly cause some problems with the car.


    She was very nervous now. She stared at Jiang Yuning through the grass in front of her. Since when had he learned to smoke? She would definitely make him quit this bad habit when he went back.


    However, she had to hint to him that she was by his side now.


    Nian Xi thought for a moment and made a squeak squeak sound like the sound of insects at night.


    Jiang Yuning, who was holding a cigarette in the car, froze slightly. He turned around and opened the car door.


    Where are you going? Manda grabbed his wrist.


    To pee. His thin lips moved slightly and he got out of the car.


    At this moment, the guards and security guards in the fish farm saw that the car had stopped and came over to help. Miss, is the car broken?


    Yes. Manda then got out of the car and looked annoyed. The car has a t tire. Hurry up and change the tire for me.


    Okay, okay. Please wait a moment.


    Jiang Yuning walked to the side of the road and directly threw the cigarette he had finished smoking into the grass. Then, he opened the zipper.


    Nian Xi, who was hiding in the grass, was a little stunned. When she came back to her senses, her cheeks were hot and she quickly turned her face away.


    The sound of water sshing could be heard for a long time before Manda walked over with a charming smile.


    Jiang Yuning quickly zipped his zipper and turned around. Manda curled her red lips. Youre so afraid that Ill see you. Why? Could it be that you cant get hard?


    Whether can or not is none of your business, Jiang Yuning said as he walked towards the car.


    Manda quickly chased after him. How is it not my business? I really want to give it a try.

 Chapter 1635. Even Had the Intention of Tearing This Little Slut Apart

    Chapter 1635. Even Had the Intention of Tearing This Little Slut Apart


    Jiang Yuning looked back at her expressionlessly, then turned around and walked to the other side. He held his hand and lit a cigarette, ignoring her.


    Manda looked at the way he smoked. Even under the moonlight, it could not hide the cold aura emitted by his thin figure. His eyebrows, nose, and lips werepletely wless amongst the faces of Asians, even if there was a faint scar on his face, it could not hide the suffocating smelling from his body.


    Hey, have you ever touched a woman? Manda walked over seductively and blew on his earlobe. Her hand touched his chest.


    Jiang Yuning grabbed her hand and pushed it away again. He said word by word, If you want to find someone to apany you in bed, dont look for me. Im a researcher here, not your bed partner. Please understand.


    Youll understand that Im very skilled. Manda took out a cigarette from his cigarette box and started smoking as well.


    Nian Xi hid in the bushes and watched this scene quietly.


    However, only she herself knew that she was already furious. She even had the thought of tearing this little slut apart.


    She actually seduced her man in front of her. Did she think she was dead.


    And she was so horny. Had she never been with a man before.


    Haha, she even said that her skills were very good. damn, it was because she had never seen how good her skills were.


    However, listening to the conversation between the two, it meant that Jiang Yuning had not let her down in the past few years.


    Lei Yichen stared at her from the side. When a woman was jealous, it was very scary. If Nian Xi had jumped out now, he would have definitely knocked her out. Fortunately, she did not even move her body.


    Previously, they had felt that Feng Jichuan should not have let Jiang Yunings girlfriend participate in the mission. After all, they were in a rtionship. It was very likely that she would act impulsively during the mission. But now, he finally believed in Feng Jichuans decision.


    After the tires were fixed, Jiang Yuning and Manda got back into the car. The ck sedan quickly left, leaving behind the security guard and the guard at the door.


    The security guard sneered in English, I dont know why he is so arrogant to treat our young mistress like this.


    It cant be helped. He has the knowledge, the guard said with a smile.


    So what if he has the knowledge? Look at how weak he is. He is not even two meters tall. Its better to find a strong man after all.


    Im not sure either, but in Asia, he is indeed considered good-looking, the guard said with a smile. You should be more polite to him in the future. Young mistress may marry him, especially after tonight


    Tonight?


    I just heard from the driver, the guard said with a chuckle. Why do you think young Mistress is taking him out sote? Even if she wants to go to Mala, she wont go at this time. She has even prepared the drug.


    Oh.


    The two talked andughed as they slowly returned to the venue.


    The door closed, and Nian Xis figure, which was hiding in the grass, trembled. She quickly grabbed Lei Yichens hand. Lets go, well chase after him.


    Lei Yichen frowned and could only retreat slowly with her.


    After the two of them found the car hidden by the sea, Nian Xi immediately started the car and chased after the ce where the ck sedan had disappeared.


    They had been gone for a long time, its hard to catch up, Lei Yichen sighed softly.


    Nian Xi ignored him and stepped on the elerator hard. When they reached the front, they suddenly made a sharp turn and took a bumpy path.

 Chapter 1636. Yuning, Im Sorry, Im Really Sorry

    Chapter 1636. Yuning, I''m Sorry, I''m Really Sorry


    This road was really terrible. After the chassis was hit several times, they finally returned to the main road. This time, she slowed down and saw a familiar ck sedan slowly driving over in the rearview mirror.


    Lei Yichen looked at her in surprise. How did you know


    Before Captain Feng and I went in that day, we first observed the ground and the route around the fish farm, Nian Xi said faintly. In case we were discovered and need to escape, this small road was discovered at that time.


    Lei Yichen immediately fell silent. He should have thought of this.


    However, he was also impressed that she could urately find that path in such a dark ce. It seemed that she was really capable to sit in the position of captain at such a young age.


    At this moment, the ck sedan beside them had already surpassed the two of them.


    Lei Yichen said in a low voice, So what if you catch up? We cant take any action now, or well alert the enemy. Captain Feng and the others have already brought people to Mala to make preparations, and were just waiting for them to fall into the. If we take any action now and they notice, they definitely wont meet tomorrow, and the leader behind them wonte out either. Everyones efforts will be in vain, and theyll also find out that theres a mole inside. Professor Jiang will also be in danger.


    Nian Xis hand that was holding the steering wheel trembled.


    She did not say anything and just followed the car.


    Ten minutester, the car drove into a seaside vi. The vi was surrounded by high walls and there was no way to enter.


    Nian Xi parked the car outside and Lei Yichen grabbed her wrist. Nian Xi, if you want to go, I can only handcuff you. You need to consider the more important big picture.


    Nian Xi looked back at him in a daze. Her eyes shed with a deathly stillness. You dont have to handcuff me. I know. I wont go.


    Lei Yichen was stunned. He pursed his thin lips and didnt know what to say. Nian Xi, dont think too much. Professor Jiang is such a smart person. Maybe hell be fine.


    Maybe. Nian Xi leaned against the passenger seat. She was indescribably tired and weak.


    Her mind was filled with the words of the security guard at the door. He had even prepared the medicine. Jiang Yuning must have fainted after getting out of the car.


    Thinking that the man she liked was about to be defiled by that woman, Nian Xi felt as if her heart was being squeezed and crushed repeatedly.


    She could not breathe and it hurt.


    But what could she do? She was a police officer. She could not charge in full of her anger.


    Moreover, there would definitely be some people guarding inside. They were not something that she and Lei Yichen could face.


    Moreover, if they really acted rashly, the TOX organizations operation would definitely be canceled tomorrow. At that time, Jiang Yunings nearly three years of undercover work would be in vain.


    She looked at the brightly lit vi in front of her sadly. This was the first time she felt so helpless.


    Do you have a cigarette? She asked Lei Yichen beside her.


    Lei Yichen was stunned for a few seconds before taking out a cigarette and handing it to her. Nian Xi lit it up and took a puff before choking.


    She had never smoked before, and no one at home had a smoking problem. She just wanted to give it a try when she saw Jiang Yuning smoke just now.


    Choking was really ufortable. She opened the car door and got out. She threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it a few times. Then, she leaned against the car window and slowly slid down to the ground and sat down.


    Her eyes were red.


    Lei Yichen sighed and lit a cigarette to sit next to her, Five years ago, I went to Japan to work on a moneyundering case. It happened to be at the critical moment of arresting the criminal, but my wife gave birth to a child. At that time, I really wanted to go back and see her, but I couldnt do anything. For so many years, I was away all the time. My wife and children couldnt see each other much. Sometimes, I was really helpless, but I had no choice. We are the police. We have a burden on our shoulders, just like that badge. If you wear it, you will be responsible for protecting the people


    But what makes me happy is that my wife and child never med me. When my child went to school and told the teacher about me, I was a role model in his heart. He was proud of me.


    Nian Xi smiled, but her smile was uglier than crying.


    Even if she does not go in, Jiang Yuning would not me her.


    But how would the two of them face it in the future.


    Could they pretend that nothing had happened, especially him? A person like him would definitely be scarred in his heart. She was heartbroken that he was going to be hurt.


    Im sorry, Im really sorry..


    Nian Xi did not know how she survived that night. She sat on the ground, not moving at all. She did not even close her eyes.


    She could not sleep and did not dare to close her eyes, because once she did, she might remember what had happened in the vi.


    What was Jiang Yuning doing with that woman.


    Were they going to do what they had done before.


    It was not until daybreak and the sun slowly rose in the sky that Nian Xi stood up abruptly. She found the tallest tree on the beach and climbed up. She used her binocrs to observe the movements in the vi.


    At about eight oclock, Manda brought a few men in ck into three sedan cars. The sedan cars drove out of the main entrance one after another and soon left.


    She looked at the vi again. There was a private beach inside. She thought for a while and slid down from the tree.


    Lei Yichen said, They probably went to Mala. Captain Feng and I sent a message to inform him.


    Nian Xi nodded. I thought about going in from their private beachter. Ive looked around. There are only five or six people left to guard inside, and theyre all in the courtyard and downstairs.


    Nian Xi Lei Yichen stared at her. Well act after they start working on it. Also, if you want to go over from their private beach, you can only sneak over from the sea behind. Do you know how dangerous it is?


    Im confident in my swimming skills. I wont let them discover me, Nian Xi said with certainty, Even if they see me, Ill kill them first. I definitely wont let them contact Manda. Dont worry, I only said that because Im confident.


    Lei Yichen rubbed his forehead with a headache. You go. Ill cover you from the tree.


    Thank you. Nian Xi nodded. She had heard from Feng Jichuan that Lei Yichen was exceptionally good at sniping.


    You have to be careful too.


    Nian Xi took out her diving suit and oxygen tank from the trunk. After changing, she directly dove from the sea to the back of the vi.


    She had learned how to divest year. In fact, she used to be afraid of diving, but there were some things that she had to ovee. If she does not ovee it, there would be no progress.


    It took her twenty minutes to sneak into the private beach of the vi.


    There was a man lying on a chair on the beach, looking at his phone.


    Nian Xi took off her cumbersome diving suit and oxygen tank. She quickly climbed out of the sea and hid behind a palm tree.


    The man did not notice her at all. She went around to the side of the vi from the back of the forest. Then, she used the water pipe to quickly climb up to the second floor. She went in through the window on the second floor. Nian Xi immediately found the direction of the master bedroom.

 Chapter 1637. Youre Not Dreaming, Im Coming for You

    Chapter 1637. You''re Not Dreaming, I''m Coming for You


    She had lived in a mansion before, so she knew better than anyone which direction the mansion was headed in.


    The door of the master bedroom was closed. She was about to go over when she suddenly heard footsteps downstairs.


    She quickly hid behind the curtains and saw a person dressed as a Filipino maide up with breakfast. She knocked on the door of the master bedroom and then called Mr. Jiangin English.


    No one answered her from inside. The Filipino maid ced the breakfast on the floor and said to the person inside, Mr. Jiang, breakfast is on the floor. You can eat it if youre hungry.


    After the Filipino maid left, Nian Xis heart turned cold. It looked like Jiang Yuning really slept in the master bedroomst night. She originally thought that as long as she did not see it with her own eyes, some things might not have happened, but she might have thought too much.


    She lost her focus for a moment andughed bitterly.


    However, no matter what he had be, she wanted to bring him back.


    And he must be feeling very ufortable right now.


    Nian Xi hesitated for a while before she gently opened the door. It was very quiet inside, and the room was veryrge. She quickly walked in and found that there was no one inside.


    There was a mans shirt scattered on the floor. She recognized it. It was the same shirt that Jiang Yuning was wearingst night.


    She walked over and picked it up. She looked around the bedroom and finally walked in the direction of the bathroom.


    The bathroom waspletely transparent ss. She could see a figure curled up in the bathtub from outside.


    Just by looking at that figure, she knew it was Jiang Yuning.


    Nian Xi quickly pushed open the ss door and walked in. She was shocked when she saw the situation in the bathtub. There was no water in the bathtub. Jiang Yuning had his eyes closed, his eyshes were trembling, his cheeks were red, and his upper body was bare, but his arms were full of scars, some of the scars were still bleeding. It was obvious that he had just been cut. Moreover, he was cut so deep that even the flesh could be seen.


    The bottom of the white bathtub was also dyed red with blood. He was holding a piece of broken ss in his hand and looked like he was on hisst breath.


    Yuning Nian Xis expression changed drastically. She rushed over to help him up from the bathtub, but she found that his body was still very hot.


    Jiang Yuning, who was still in a daze, narrowed his eyes. His lips were pale. Xixi, am I dreaming? Im dreaming about you again.


    Nian Xis heart felt like it was being squeezed, and she almost burst into tears. This was the first time the two of them had seen each other in such a long time. It was also the first time they had spoken, but she did not expect to hear such a sentence.


    No, youre not dreaming. Im here to find you. Nian Xi gritted her teeth to prevent tears from falling, but her eyes were red. She did not dare to imagine how much pain he had suffered. Im here to bring you back.


    Jiang Yuning tilted his head and pursed his lips. The smile on his face was extremely sad. I must be hallucinating. Im always hallucinating tonight. How could xixi be here? It Cant be


    Im here, Im here. Nian Xi bent down and hugged him tightly in the bathtub. Her tears could not help but fall. Why did you be like this? Tell me.


    Jiang Yuning moaned in pain. It hurts


    Only then did Nian Xi remember that she might have pressed down on his wound. She quickly let go of him. Seeing that his wound was bleeding non-stop, she quickly came back to her senses. She found a towel and tore it open, quickly wrapping it around his arm.


    Jiang Yuning watched in a daze as she wrapped her arm like a dumpling. No matter how ufortable he felt, he slowly woke up. He held his head and regained some consciousness. Youre really Xixi

 Chapter 1638. I Think Youre Quite Handsome Now

    Chapter 1638. I Think You''re Quite Handsome Now


    Mm. Nian Xi nodded. Before she could speak, Jiang Yuning grabbed her wrist. He looked worried. Why are you here? Hurry up and leave. This isnt where you shoulde


    Nian Xi could tell from his expression that that woman had nted something on him. She really wanted to tear that woman apart alive.


    How could she like someone so much? In order to get something that could hurt someones body, how much did she put on him? It had been a whole night and he still felt so ufortable.


    Its fine even if you feel ufortable. Im here. Nian Xi went up and hugged his head. Just like how she hugged Xiao Pingguo every time, she gently stroked the back of his head.


    No, youll be discovered. Its very dangerous here Jiang Yuning stubbornly pushed her away. Hurry up and leave.


    Manda has already left, and she took all the elites with her. Theres no one in the vi now, and I locked the door when I first came in, Nian Xi held his hand and whispered, Tell me, what happened to your hand? Why did you hurt yourself like this?


    She wants me, but I refused. Jiang Yuning raised his eyes, his gaze was weak and powerless. Im only yours. Im afraid that I cant control myself. Every time I have an attack, Ill cut myself with a knife to keep myself awake.


    Nian Xi was stunned. Although she had guessed it, she could not help but cry. She silently bought his head, buried her face in his neck, and cried, How could you be so stupid? If you were forced, even if she didnt touch you, I wouldnt me you, and I wouldnt despise you.


    When she had entered, she had thought that he had already had sex with Manda. She had thought of the worst, but she had never thought that he would use such a method to keep himself awake.


    She suddenly felt that she should have trusted him no matter what.


    But Ive already be ugly. Im afraid that even my body is not clean. You wont like me, Jiang Yunings voice was lowered from his throat, bitter and self-deprecating.


    Nonsense, who said that youve be ugly? Nian Xi immediately raised her head and covered his mouth. I think youre quite handsome now.


    No. Jiang Yuning gently covered the scar on his face with his hand. Im disfigured. You like good-looking guys.


    I dont. I like you. Nian Xi stared into his eyes seriously. Whether youre good-looking or ugly, I like you. I like you as a person, not your body or your face.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her and his body trembled slightly.


    Nian Xi held his cheek and kissed him again in silence.


    Jiang Yuning put his hand on her waist. He felt like he was dreaming until he really hugged her familiar body. Only then did he confirm that she was really by his side.


    It had been almost three years. He had not hugged her properly for almost three years.

 Chapter 1639. Xixi, You Have Muscles Now...

    Chapter 1639. Xixi, You Have Muscles Now...


    In these three years


    Xixi


    Jiang Yuning blinked his beautiful eyshes. Xixi, you have muscles now


    Nian Xis tender and sweet face froze. She was depressed. This guy was such a Killjoy.


    So what if she had muscles? Who said that only men could have muscles? All the female celebrities in Hollywood had them too. I train my body every day and practice martial arts and shooting. How can I not have muscles?


    Nian Xi gritted her teeth and said, Are you unhappy with me?


    If it was not for her promotion and solving the case earlier, she would not have worked so hard. In the end, it was all for him.


    Jiang Yuning stared at her for a few seconds. When he saw the annoyance in her eyes, he suddenly smiled and curled his lips.


    How could he not understand? Nian Xi must have worked hard to be an Interpol officer.


    When he first met her, she was just a small police officer at the police station.


    He thought that she must have been having a hard time these few years.


    No, Xixi, I like you. I like you everywhere, especially when you came to the fish farmst time. The dress you wore was so beautiful that I almost didnt recognize you.Jiang Yuning revealed a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart.


    Nian Xi curled her lips. Is that so? But arent you going to be the son-inw of some young mistress? The young mistress is actually quite beautiful. She kept flirting with you, didnt you feel the slightest bit of temptation?


    Xixi, dont joke about this. Jiang Yunings brows were tightly furrowed. I dont like her. Not at all. And shes a bad person.


    The corners of Nian Xis lips curled up even higher. Although she knew what was going on, she was still quite happy to hear it from his mouth.


    Xixi, didnt you go to Mala? Jiang Yuning stammered. Were you hiding in the bushes yesterday?


    Yeah, I heard you talking to Manda. Nian Xi rubbed his cheek. People say shes very nice.


    Jiang Yuning blushed. I dont know. Youre my only one.


    Nian Xi blushed shyly, but her heart was still warm. She murmured, Good, its really good that you have this awareness.


    Her voice was soft and squirming. Jiang Yuning smiled bitterly. Xixi, the drug hasntpletely gone away.


    He clenched his fists tightly.


    Nian Xi was speechless. How potent was the medicine.


    Was this really good.


    He felt that after being a spy for so many years, he was already considered bold, but he had never seen Nian Xi so bold.


    Whats wrong? Didnt Manda go to Mala? She wonte back. As long as they meet, theyll be caught in one go. There are colleagues watching outside, and Im here. Dont worry, Ill protect you.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned, and then his eyes turned red.


    God knows how he survivedst night. Now that the antidote was here, it was really good.

 Chapter 1640. Was Still Blushing Easily in front of Her

    Chapter 1640. Was Still Blushing Easily in front of Her


    Nian Xi, what are you doing? Youre breathing really fast, Lei Yichen said curiously.


    Jiang Yuning, who was lying inside, secretly curled up. He had lost control just now, so Nian Xi must be very tired now.


    Nian Xi stole a nce at him and also blushed a little, but she still lied without any hesitation. I just fought with someone, so I am a little tired.


    You fought with someone?


    Lei Yichen, who was lying on the tree outside, became nervous when he heard that. Why didnt I see anything outside? Are you okay?


    I was upstairs, but it was settled quietly. There was no noise. Nian Xi took a deep breath again. She held her phone between her ears and put on her clothes with both hands.


    How is the other partys skill? Lei Yichen asked seriously.


    Er Hes quite good. No, hes pretty good. As soon as Nian Xi finished speaking, she saw Jiang Yunings face turn red again. He had a stubble now and his skin was dark. He looked quite manly, but he still blushed easily in front of her, she could not help butugh.


    What are youughing at? Lei Yichen was puzzled.


    Nothing, I think Im better. I knocked him down directly, Nian Xi said with a chuckle.


    Be careful. I just received a message from Captain Feng. Manda and the others have already arrived in Mala, Lei Yichen said, After they make their move, well make our move as well. Later, bring Professor Jiang and break out of the encirclement. Ill meet you guys outside. Its not easy to fight them head-on, but well outsmart them. We dont have enough manpower.


    Okay, I got it. Nian Xi hung up the phone. She turned around and saw Jiang Yuning huddling there quietly putting on his clothes.


    She put away her phone and hugged him from behind. Big Jiang-jiang, well go hometer.


    Jiang Yunings body stiffened and he turned around after a while. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Xixi, is little Jiang-jiang okay?


    Hes fine. It just misses your kiss a little. Nian Xi smiled secretly.


    Jiang Yuning also smiled. He also remembered that when he went to her house in the past, he was identally kissed by little Jiang-jiang. Has it found a wife?


    I didnt even get married. Why would it get a wife? Nian Xi snorted. Its single just like me. Alright, stop chatting in the bathtub. Youre injured. Lets go outside.


    Jiang Yuning stood up with her, but because he had lost too much blood and he had gone through a lot just now, his legs could not help but go soft when theynded.


    Be careful. Fortunately, Nian Xi reacted quickly and helped him to the bed.


    However, Jiang Yuning was unwilling to go to the bed. Thats where Manda slept. Its dirty. I dont want to go. Help me to the sofa.


    Nian Xi also found it dirty. It must have smelled like a fox, so she put Jiang Yuning on the sofa and touched his forehead. Fortunately, he did not have a fever for the time being, but if the wound was not treated, he would definitely have fainted.


    She looked at the time. It was only ten oclock.


    She was still not sure when Feng Jichuan would take action.


    Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard footsteps from outside.


    Then, she heard someone twisting the door handle. A mans voice came from outside. Why is the door locked? He hasnt eaten, and he left it here.


    I dont know. There was no movement when I knocked on the door, the helper said.


    Bring the key over. Miss said he was injured. I dont know if he passed out.


    Jiang Yuning panicked when he heard that. He quickly said to Nian Xi, Quickly hide in the locker room.


    Nian X nodded and quickly went into the locker room.

 Chapter 1641. Its Your Fortune That She Likes You

    Chapter 1641. It''s Your Fortune That She Likes You


    In a short while, the door opened.


    Jiang Yuning opened his eyes weakly. He recognized that the person in front of him was the servant who came here before. There was also Mandas bodyguard, Chris. Chris was a Samoan. He was at least 1.95 meters tall, and he was very strong. Jiang Yuning had rarely seen a foreigner as strong as him.


    Moreover, he had seen Chris skills. He was so good that Jiang Yuning were a little scared.


    Standing with him, Nian Xi would definitely be like a rabbit meeting a lion.


    Although Nian Xi was good at fighting, she would be no match for Chris.


    However, he did not expect that Manda would let Chris be here.


    He had to make sure that Nian Xi didnt discover him.


    Mr. Jiang, are you alright? When the servant saw that there was still blood in the towel wrapped around his arm, she was shocked. Ill call the doctor right away.


    No thanks, Jiang Yuning said coldly. Bring me the medical kit. I can do it myself.


    Chris stared at his arm without saying a word.


    When Manda came out of the room gloomily this morning, he saw it. To be honest, he looked down on people like Jiang Yuning. Jiang Yuning was shorter than him, and his body was thinner and weaker than his. He could crush Jiang Yuning to death. All Jiang Yuning had was in his brain. He really did not understand why the miss would fall for such a person.


    However, he soon realized that the towel bandaged on his arm was a little strange. Usually, a person who had injured his right hand could not wrap it so well with his left hand. Moreover, how could the knot be tied? Even if he managed to tie it, how could it be tied so perfectly?


    It was as if someone had bandaged it for him.


    A wave of suspicion made Chris instantly alert. He looked around without changing his expression.


    Jiang Yuning also noticed it. A trace of solemnity shed in his eyes. He calmly said, Why didnt you go with Manda?


    Miss was worried. She asked me to stay and take care of you. Chris nced at the skin hidden under his shirt. There was a faint hickey mark there.


    He was surprised. Could it be that something happened between the miss and himst night.


    Youre worrying too much. Jiang Yuning pursed his lips. Its safer for me if shes gone.


    Chris narrowed his eyes, grabbed his arm, and lifted him up from the sofa, Im warning you. Be polite to the miss. I admit that youve made some contributions to the organization in the past two days, but Miss is still the miss. Its your fortune that she likes you. Dont be so shameless.


    Jiang Yunings wound was squeezed tightly by him. The pain made his face instantly pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.


    After a long while, he pursed his lips and sneered indifferently. Then you should also remember how much contribution Ive made to the organization and how much money Ive earned every year. What about you? What contributions have you made?


    Chris eyes froze slightly.


    Dont make me feel disappointed, Jiang Yuning said coldly. Ive surrendered to you, but I am not your puppet.


    Chris stared at him in silence for a while, then let go of him and suddenly walked into the bathroom.


    Jiang Yunings heart sank. He knew that he must have suspected something.


    If he had faced someone like Chris in the past, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, now that he was here, he could not carry any weapons. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was entirely powerless.


    Ah He suddenly grunted.


    The servant at the side quickly came over. Mr. Jiang, please wait. Ill get the medical kit for you.


    Chris ignored him and directly pushed open the bathroom door.


    Please help me wet a towel,Jiang Yuning said.

 Chapter 1642. How Dare You to Disobey Me

    Chapter 1642. How Dare You to Disobey Me


    Chris frowned at him but still wet a towel. However, when he entered the bathroom, his bloodshot eyes froze for a few seconds when he saw the bathtub.


    It appears to be nothing suspicious in the bathroom at the moment.


    He took the towel and went out, throwing it directly at Jiang Yuning. Then, he turned around and walked towards the closet.


    Jiang Yuning was a little anxious, but he still pretended to ask in a deep voice, Chris, why are you looking around? Are you looking for something when Manda is not at home?


    Dont talk nonsense. Chris instantly turned around and red at him. Its my responsibility to check the vi to prevent suspicious people from entering.


    What do you mean? Im lying here alive. Who else cane inside? Jiang Yuning was displeased. Your behavior is quite strange.


    I think youre the strange one. Chris pushed open the closet door with force. Just as he walked in, a fist came directly from behind the door.


    He instinctively blocked it. He felt as if his arm had been stabbed by something. However, before he had time to think, a young oriental woman shed out from behind the door. She looked like in her twenties.


    Chris quickly reacted. He knew that Jiang Yuning must have betrayed the miss. Otherwise, no one would have snuck in.


    Just as he was about to take out his walkie-talkie, Nian Xi raised her leg and swept it at him. She kicked the walkie-talkie away.


    However, Chris quickly grabbed one of her legs and threw her into the wardrobe.


    The force of the throw was very strong. Nian Xi suddenly felt her internal organs churning. She endured the pain and tried to get up. She saw Chris pick up the walkie-talkie, but not long after, his body shook, and he fell to the ground and fainted.


    Xixi. At this moment, Jiang Yuning came in with a knife. He was stunned when he saw this scene. What What happened to him?


    Nian Xi struggled to raise the ring on her hand and smiled bitterly. The ring you gave me had anesthetic in it. This damn pervert. I thought he would faint immediately, but I didnt expect him to hold on for so long.


    Jiang Yuning immediately let out a sigh of relief and quickly held up Nian Xi. Seeing a girl fall so heavily, his heart ached. You shouldnt havee in. Even if Manda has left, its still very dangerous inside..


    Nian Xi frowned. She also felt that she had been a little rash today. Fortunately, she had acted decisively in the end. However, on second thought, wasnt it the same every time she went on a mission? There were always risks and dangers. She had experienced all kinds of difficult situations, and had been through thick and thin. Since Im here, I am prepared. Dont worry.


    Im worried about you. Jiang Yunings frown was so deep that it could kill a fly. Did you know that someone ambushed Chris in the past? Chris wasnt injured. Instead, the attacker injured himself. His body is as strong as a wild beast.


    All wild beasts are paper tigers in front of me. Nian Xi snorted. She endured the pain on her back and red at him. By the way, what did you mean a moment ago? How dare you to disobey me?


    I didnt Jiang Yuning had just finished speaking when he heard a knock on the door again. It must be the servant. Dont go out.


    After he said that, he walked out. The servant came in with a medical kit. When she saw the situation in the room, she was a little puzzled. Wheres Mr. Chris?


    Hes gone.Jiang Yuning untied the towel in his hand. The servant helped him with his wound, turned around and bent down to pack his things. When he was done, Jiang Yuning grabbed a vase and knocked out the servant.

 Chapter 1643. Right Now, Youre Not My Man. Youre My Subordinate.

    Chapter 1643. Right Now, You''re Not My Man. You''re My Subordinate.


    When Nian Xi came out and saw this scene, she was a little surprised.


    After all, in the past, other than relying on his research to protect himself, Jiang Yuning would never take the initiative to hit others. He used to be weak and powerless. But now he actually knew how to hit people. It was not strange, after all. He had stayed in this extremely dangerous ce for so long. If he had no idea know how to protect himself, he would not have lived until now.


    However, seeing him like that, her heart ached a little.


    She should be the one to do the fighting stuff.


    Plop! The servant fell to the ground.


    Jiang Yuning put down the vase and quickly went up to check the servants breathing. Seeing that servant was still breathing, he let out a sigh of relief.


    Nian Xi clicked her tongue. This vase is worth at least a few hundred thousand. You ruined the vase.


    Xixi, dont joke around. Jiang Yuning smiled bitterly. We cant let the people outside know that something has happened to them. Lets hurry up and tie them up.


    Nian Xi nodded and bent down to drag them away. Jiang Yuning quickly stopped her. Let me do it. You just fell down. Dont move.


    Nian Xi red at him. Your Hand is injured. Go sit down.


    Xixi Jiang Yuning wasnt satisfied. Im a man. This is what I should do.


    Nian Xi nodded. I know youre a man. I tried it just now.


    Jiang Yuning:


    His face heated. Although he felt that he had developed a thick skin, Xixis skin was even thicker than before.


    Nian Xi looked at his flushed face and smiled mockingly. We areparing who is more injured. No matter what, youre more injured than me. Look at you now. You should disinfect the wound immediately. Do you want to have a feverter? Let me tell you, we wont stride out of the doorter. Theres no other way except to fight our way out.


    Jiang Yuning was about to open his mouth when Nian Xis sharp eyes swept over. Right now, youre not my man. Youre my subordinate. You must obey the leaders arrangements.


    Jiang Yunings heart trembled when he saw her stern look. He was not afraid of other people, but he was a little afraid of Nian Xi. Especially with her current appearance, she simply exuded the aura of a leader.


    He lowered his head and did not say anything.


    Nian Xi dragged the servant into the changing room and tied him up.


    When she came out, she saw that Jiang Yuning was still clumsily applying medicine on his wound. She walked over, took a cotton swab, and smeared it on his wound. Her move was heavy and fierce.


    Jiang Yuning was in so much pain that he was gasping.


    She looked at him and said unhappily, Lets see if you still dare to hurt yourself in the future.


    Jiang Yuning didnt say anything. His eyes were fixed on her face. He knew that she was feeling sorry for him.


    He didnt say anything and let her apply the medicine.


    Later, Nian Xi applied the medicine gently. She was afraid that she would hurt him. This time, she tied up with gauze. She looked up, and Jiang Yuning pressed his head against hers. Xixi, you and Feng Jichuan Whats going on?


    Nian Xi looked up inexplicably.


    He said shyly, That day, you were holding hands with Feng Jichuan.


    Nian Xi was stunned for a moment, then burst outughing. She couldnt help but pinch his cheek. Were quite close now.


    Jiang Yunings eyes widened, and they were full of vignce. Feng Jichuan had tried to get in touch with him in the past, but now he had be an Interpol agent with Nian Xi.


    He was following her too closely, and after years, he had not given up.

 Chapter 1644. You Are Jealous

    Chapter 1644. You Are Jealous


    Then you guys you guys He was so upset that he didnt know where to start.


    He was very depressed.


    For so long, he wasnt by Nian Xis side. Feng Jichuan must have a special ce in Nian Xis heart.


    Now I think, Brother Jichuan is really a good person. Nian Xi said sincerely. In the past, we did have conflicts. Maybe we didnt find a suitable way to get along.


    Jiang Yunings heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This wasnt what he wanted to hear.


    At this moment, her words bred jealousy in his heart.


    What was going on now? Had they found a suitable way to get along? Were they going to be together?


    What should he do then?


    However, after second thought, he sensed something was wrong. Nian Xi had just touched him. She wasnt the kind of irresponsible women. However, could it be that from now on, Feng Jichuan would be herrade-in-arms, and he would be the man who would warm her bed.


    This wouldnt do.


    Xixi, Jiang Yuning frowned seriously. Who do you like more, him or me?


    He felt hurt when he asked.


    If she liked Feng Jichuan, then he would quit, as long as she was happy, and he could give him happiness.


    Nian Xi looked back at him for a while. When she saw his jealous look, she suddenly smiled, You are jealous. Are you stupid? That day, I was deliberately acting with him. I thought you would pay more attention to my beauty that day. In the end, you only paid attention to jealousy. You cant do this to me.


    Jiang Yuning was slightly embarrassed. I saw that you were very beautiful, but it was because you were so beautiful that I was jealous. I am really jealous when you held Feng Jichuans hand. Youve never dressed up like that in front of me.


    Alright, Ill dress up more in front of you in the future. Nian Xi smiled sweetly. I only treat Jichuan as a brother now. He also treats me as a sister, and he even has a girlfriend now.


    Really? Jiang Yunings eyes lit up but quickly dimmed. Since he already has a girlfriend, why would he follow you to be an Interpol officer?


    Nian Xi clenched her fist and coughed lightly, You think too highly of me. Strictly speaking, Im not considered an Interpol officer. I was only transferred here temporarily because they were short-handed. After the case is over, I have to return to Xia city. On the contrary, Jichuan is the person in charge of leading the team this time. We are now all following his orders and arrangements.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. He did not expect Feng Jichuan to be so powerful now.


    His love rival was indeed too powerful.


    Fortunately, he had a girlfriend.


    Nian Xi said, Not long after you left, he was transferred to the Interpol. He is outstanding at his job. In the past, when he was in the bureau, he was also very good at solving cases. I still have to work hard to chase him. As a Chinese saying goes, gold will shine everywhere. Maybe I will never be as good as him in my life. If he didnt rmend me to the higher-ups, I wouldnt be able to be here.


    Jiang Yuning looked down and thought for a while, then said unhappily, Is he trying to please you?


    As soon as he said that, Nian Xi flicked his forehead.


    Nian Xi put her hands on her waist and said, Dont think too much. If it wasnt for this operation, I wouldnt have seen him for a long time. To be honest, Im really grateful to him for letting mee and pick you up.


    However, Jiang Yuning shook his head hard. Xixi, Id rather you wait for me at home.


    Nian Xi ced her hand on his shoulder and smiled, I had toe. If I hadnte, I wouldnt have known that the young miss of the organization was crazy about you. If I hadnte, I wouldnt have known that she was craving you. If I hadnte, I wouldnt have solved it for you hmm just now.

 Chapter 1645. He Was a Man, And He Had His Pride

    Chapter 1645. He Was a Man, And He Had His Pride


    She raised her eyebrows yfully.


    Jiang Yuning was tickled again, and he couldnt help but remind her, Xixi, dont forget our current situation. Now is not the time to flirt.


    Nian Xi was a little choked. It seemed to make sense.


    However, she couldnt control her unrestrained heart when she saw him. Perhaps she had suppressed it for too long, and she wasnt like this when she was with other people.


    Lets rest for a while. Nian Xi looked at the time. Its almost 11:00. Feng Jichuan will take action at 12:00 at thetest..


    Moreover, it would be troublesome if someone in this courtyard noticed that Chris and the servant had gone missing. Fortunately, when she entered a while ago, she saw that the bodyguards inside were quitezy. The one guarding the beach was still looking at his phone. It was probably because Manda had left with a group of core members, so the rest people were leaderless. Later, find an excuse to go out and walk around. Tell me the exact location of the bodyguards in the vi. After the operation began, Ill also take care of the people inside.


    Okay. Jiang Yuning nodded and was excited. So I can really go back and not be a spy anymore. What if some of the higher-ups of the organization are not caught


    You have to leave no matter what happened, Nian Xi said solemnly, If something goes wrong with their operation this time, the organization will definitely investigate the inside. You will be the number one suspect. Moreover, with the information you gave us before, the police already know the stronghold. They will start the operation today.


    Jiang Yuning kept smiling as if he was in a dream.


    How long had he been looking forward to this day?


    After resting for a while, Jiang Yuning went out. There was no one upstairs, but there were two people guarding the living room downstairs. There were two outside in the courtyard and one on the beach behind.


    After he went down, a tall man from the Middle East asked, Have you seen Chris?


    Hes upstairs, Jiang Yuning replied calmly. Its better if theres someone watching upstairs.


    The tall man nodded.


    Jiang Yuning asked, Theres nothing unusual today, right?


    The tall man was stunned and smiled. What could be unusual? Who would dare toe here?


    Thats true. Jiang Yunings thin lips twitched. Im going to take a walk in the garden.


    He walked around before returning upstairs to draw a n of the vi for Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi took a look and roughly understood the map. Lei Yichen could take care of the two people outside, but the one on the beach and the two in the living room had to be done by herself.


    That meant she had to take care of three people.


    The orders from the higher-ups were to try not to kill anyone. After all, they were in a foreign country.


    Fortunately, the enemy was in the open while she was in the dark.


    At 11:50, Feng Jichuan sent a message. The operation had already begun.


    Nian Xi immediately stood up, and Jiang Yuning followed closely behind.


    Where are you going? Stay in your room, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned and shook his head. I have to go with you.


    After saying that, he looked at her and picked up the vase that he had used to beat people before. He used his gaze to tell her that this was his weapon.


    The corner of Nian Xis mouth twitched. If you get caught, Ill still have to save you.


    Dont look down on me. Jiang Yuning was not happy that he was being looked down on. Ive been in the organization for a long time. Im not as weak as you think.


    His woman came to save him, and then he hid while she charged into the battle. This was too ridiculous.


    He was a man, and he had his pride.


    I know. You took eighty percent of the credit for the sess of todays setup. I dont think I have your courage, so youre the hero in my heart, Nian Xi said honestly.

 Chapter 1646. Nian Xi Was So Amazing That It Made Him Feel Pressure

    Chapter 1646. Nian Xi Was So Amazing That It Made Him Feel Pressure


    He paused, and Nian Xi continued, But everyone has their own abilities. Your mission has beenpleted, and now its my turn to handle the outside. You dont even have a bulletproof vest. At least Im wearing one. If anything were to happen to you, what would I do? Will I be lonely for the rest of my life. I am not young anymore. Other than you, there might not be a person who is willing to marry me.


    Nonsense. Jiang Yunings heart ached when he heard that. It was he who wasted her youth and damped her confidence. Xixi, youre very beautiful. I mean it. Although youre thirty years old, you look like youre in your early twenties at first nce. Those people dont know how to appreciate you. Its their fault.


    Nian Xi sighed. He could just praise herself for looking young, but he mentioned her age. It was too displeasing.


    I know. Its not that I dont have confidence. Its just that Im bing more and more outstanding. Those people will feel ashamed when they see me. Nian Xi said matter-of-factly, In terms of beauty, of course Im much more beautiful than men. In terms of kung fu, I can handle three men with one hand. In terms of earning money, my family has plenty of money. In terms of status, Im now a captain. I cant believe that I am so outstanding.


    Jiang Yuning waspletely stunned by what she said.


    Indeed, that seemed to be the case. ording to what she said, Nian Xi was indeed too amazing. She was so amazing that it made him feel pressure.


    Hmm youre right, he thought vaguely. So you need a man who can cook for you and warm your bed. This is my use.


    Suddenly, he felt a little sad. Were these the only two uses he had?


    Even though he had not passed the standard for warming her bed, and his cooking skills had probably regressed after a long time, he could still learn, little by little.l


    Its good that you understand. Nian Xi held back herughter and patted his shoulder. Thats why youre staying in the room. Rather than thinking about how to help me, why dont you think about how to warm my bed when Ie back?


    After she finished speaking, as she wished, she saw his face blush and left with satisfaction.


    Once ones mood improved, one would feel she was invincible.


    She secretly bent over and walked out. Lying on the second floor, she saw the two people downstairs chatting. She took out a gun, took a look, and then quickly pressed down. One of them was shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground.


    She shot well. She did not shoot the heart, but that person fell to the ground and lost consciousness on the spot.


    Although it was muffled, the people on the side soon noticed it.


    She immediately hid on the sofa behind.


    The people outside the garden heard the movement and immediately went in to help, but they were also knocked down by Lei Yichen in an instant.


    Nian Xi directly jumped onto the railing that led downstairs. As she shot, she quickly slid down.


    Her body moved too quickly. The people below could not hit her at all. Instead, when she dodged, the person downstairs was shot on the arm.


    Nian Xi quickly jumped over and threw him onto the ground. The two of them fought together. The other one also acquired some martial arts. Moreover, his body was strong. Even though he was injured, he did his best to support himself.


    Nian Xi fiercely punched him a few times. Suddenly, she saw the man on the beach behind her. Seeing that the other one was aiming at her, Nian Xi quickly threw the tall man onto the ground.


    The man tried to fight back, but Nian Xi had to dodge and fight him at the same time. She was stabbed in the waist.


    Seeing that the bullet was getting closer and closer, a vase suddenly fell from the second floor and hit the beach mans head. The beach mans head shook and he fainted.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She quickly reacted, grabbed the mans knife and stabbed him unconscious.

 Chapter 1647. Jiang Yuning Was Angry

    Chapter 1647. Jiang Yuning Was Angry


    The fierce battle had finally stopped.


    Nian Xi got up and sat down on the sofa. She looked at Jiang Yuning upstairs felt ironic. After a while, she gave him a thumbs up. Not bad, Vase Bro. It seems that I underestimated you before. You are indeed good at smashing vases.


    Jiang Yunings face turned sour. She actually called him vase bro.


    Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed when he saw that the side of Nian Xis waist was stained with red blood. Youre injured. Sit down quickly. Ill go get the medical kit for you.


    After he finished speaking, he ran into the bedroom.


    Nian Xi was stunned for a moment until she felt a pain on her waist. Only then did she remember that she had been stabbed during the fight earlier.


    She directly tore off a piece of clothing on her waist and wrapped it around the wound. Then, she got up and checked all the rooms downstairs.


    The rest were all servants who worked in the vi. She showed her identity and informed Lei Yichen that everything had been settled inside.


    Jiang Yuning came down with the medical kit and saw her walking around downstairs. He was so angry that his face turned dark. Didnt I tell you to sit down properly?


    He was really angry. Even if she was a strong woman, she was still an injured person. Why didnt she know how to cherish herself.


    Nian Xi saw his angry eyes and was stunned for a moment. She smiled and said, Well, now you know how to yell at me.


    Im doing this for your own good. Jiang Yuning quickly pulled her to the sofa and sat down. Seeing that she was only using the torn clothes to bandage her wound, he was really angry and heartbroken.


    Nian Xi let him do whatever he wanted.


    After a while, seeing that he had been pursing his lips and remained silent, she couldnt help but smile and pinch his cheeks, Dont be angry. Im afraid that there are people hidden in the vi. No matter what the situation is, you cant let your guard down just because youve finished off your opponent. Once you let your guard down for a moment, youll be risking your life.


    Ive checked before. There are only the people Ive mentioned. You dont believe me, Jiang Yuning grumbled.


    Nian Xi sighed softly. I believe you, but even if I do, I still have to do the examinations. I only have one life. But I really have to thank you just now. If it wasnt for you, I really wouldnt have been able to sessfully finish off the people inside.


    Between you and me do you still have to say thank you? Jiang Yuning silently disinfected her wound.


    At this moment, Lei Yichen walked in from outside with a smile, Not bad, youve taken care of everything.


    Nian Xi smiled. Just as she was about to get up, Jiang Yuning suddenly shouted, Dont move.


    The smile on her face froze. Alright, this guy already knows how to yell at me.


    Lei Yichen was stunned for a moment. His gaze swept between the two of them and instantly understood the situation. Nian Xi, this must be Professor Jiang.


    Yes. Nian Xi nodded and introduced Jiang Yuning. Yuning, this is my colleague, Lei Yichen.


    Jiang Yuning nced at her expressionlessly and then continued to wrap the gauze around Nian Xis waist.


    Lei Yichen awkwardly clenched his fist and coughed softly. Nian Xi, both of you are injured. Let me send you to the hospital.


    Nian Xi was about to nod when Jiang Yuning stood up, I have to go back to the fish farm. There are some research materials that I have obtained over the past two years. I cant let them leak out. Also, once they find out that something has happened in Mala, the people inside might run away with the materials immediately. Oh right, there are also some scientists who have defected in the past. We have to capture them.


    Nian Xi and Lei Yichen were shocked. They had neglected this matter.

 Chapter 1648. You Are My Heart, You Are My Flesh.

    Chapter 1648. You Are My Heart, You Are My Flesh.


    Then lets go over now, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning frowned in dissatisfaction. His lips moved slightly, and Nian Xi interrupted him. There are no extra police here now. You saw my wound. It was not deep. I know the situation. I wont use my life to fight the enemy. I still have to wait for you to go back and marry me.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. A momentter, the corner of his mouth secretly curled up, and a hint of sweetness rose in his heart. Then dont do anything braveter.


    Nian Xi pretended to be obedient and nodded. I know. Ill listen to you.


    Lei Yichens gaze became strange as he listened by the side.


    After Nian Xi got into the car, Jiang Yuning was about to go in when Lei Yichen gave him a thumbs up. Bro, you have a way with your wife. A tomboy like Nian Xi is like a little woman in front of you.


    Jiang Yuning blinked his eyes with confusion. How was Xixi a little woman in front of him.


    He was baffled and ignored him. He got into the car and sat next to Nian Xi.


    Nian Xi was worriedst night. She didnt even close her eyes. Now that he was safe and sound beside her, she was relieved. She moved closer and leaned her body against his chest.


    Jiang Yuning was satisfied and reached out to hug her. Suddenly, he saw Lei Yichen peeking through the rearview mirror. His handsome face heated up and he whispered to Nian Xi, Xixi, theres someone in front.


    So? Nian Xi asked faintly.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head shyly. He saw the woman in his arms with her eyes closed. There was tiredness under her eyes and her thin lips were slightly pale. His heart twitched slightly and he hugged her tightly.


    Isnt there someone in front? Nian Xi reminded him with a lowugh.


    Uh hes not human, Jiang Yuning said vaguely.


    Nian Xi sweated. She suddenly felt a little sympathetic for Lei Yichen.


    When they arrived at the fish farm, Lei Yichen took the lead while Nian Xi took the rear. The fish farm was a little more troublesome than the vi, but with Lei Yichen sniping from the shadows, they quickly took the farm.


    Not long after, the Samoan police also rushed over and arrested some illegal researchers.


    Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning were sent to the hospital.


    Nian Xi was more seriously injured than Jiang Yuning. She was injured in a fight at the fish farm and fell asleep when she was treated by the medical staff in the emergency room.


    When she woke up, it was pitch-ck outside. Jiang Yuning was lying on the side of the bed, fast asleep. His hand was still stuck with a needle. He was also receiving IV drip.


    Nian Xi turned to look at him in the way that she had not looked at him for a long time. She could tell that he was not doing very well these years. His delicate and fair face had be much rougher, the stubble on his face was a little messy. He did not know how long it had been since he had cleaned it up, but fortunately, his had a fair face. He still looked handsome even if he suffered a lot.


    She reached out to touch the wound on his face, but coincidentally saw a huge mosquito lying on his face.


    Without thinking, she pped him directly.


    The crisp sound of a p woke Jiang Yuning up. He covered his face in pain. When he saw Nian Xis hand in the air, he was stunned. He reacted and immediately felt wronged. Xixi, I didnt fall asleep on purpose. Dont hit me.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed, but soon her heart ached. How fierce was she in his heart? Was she such an unreasonable person? How could I bear to hit you? I treasure you. Youre my darling, youre my flesh. I just saw a mosquito on your face.

 Chapter 1649. My Heart Aches

    Chapter 1649. My Heart Aches


    I see Jiang Yuning was embarrassed by Nian Xis mushiness. There are quite a lot of mosquitoes in this ward. Ill go out and buy mosquito repellent incense for you after I finish the drip.


    Youre a patient. Where are you going? Let Brother Lei go. Nian Xi sized up this ward. The hospital rooms in Samoa were really not that good. There were three beds in the room, and they were all very old. The walls were yellow and looked dirty.


    She sighed. These ces were still too backwardpared to China.


    What time is it now?


    Jiang Yuning looked at his watch. Its nine oclock in the evening. Are you hungry? Mr. Lei bought some food.


    He took out a hamburger and water from the drawer. There were also some fried meat, ham, and the like.


    Nian Xi lost her appetite at a nce. Although she had not been here for long, the food here was too greasy. No wonder the people here were all tall and strong.


    Eat some, Jiang Yuning opened the hamburger and coaxed her. Well eat delicious food when we get back to China.


    Nian Xi sat up with difficulty. She took two bites of the hamburger and handed it to him, indicating that he should eat it too.


    Jiang Yuning looked at the ce where she had eaten and took a bite as well. It was like kissing. He had never thought that a hamburger could be so delicious.


    By the way, have you been staying here for the past two years? Nian Xi asked.


    No, I just came here a year ago. I was in Maun before, Jiang Yuning said as he looked down.


    Nian Xi noticed his expression and held his hand. You must have suffered a lot there.


    Its not too bad, but they locked me up and I cant go anywhere, Jiang Yuning said in a low voice. Fortunately, theres a small window where Im staying.


    Nian Xis chest hurt. She could imagine what kind of ce it was. If it was her, she would definitely go crazy. Yuning


    You dont have to feel sorry for me. Jiang Yuning knew what she was thinking and shook his head, Actually, the environment there is much better than the ce where I was locked underground. I can daydream, look at the stars, think of you, and do a lot of things. I definitely dont feel bored.


    But I feel sorry for you. Nian Xi obviously understood his anti-social personality. In the past, he could daydream for an entire day, but at least at that time, his body was free. What happened after that?


    After that, I pretended to be locked up for too long, and I couldnt take it anymore.


    Jiang Yuning chuckled, They didnt really trust me. It was only after I focused on scientific research and helped them invent some products that they gradually believed in me. Later, I came here again, but I still didnt have much freedom. Every time I went, there would be people following me. They thought that if they didnt tell me where I was and didnt allow me to usemunication equipment, I wouldnt know where I had been. In fact, as long as there were windows..,


    I could see the stars and the moon, I can calcte the exact location based on the world map and the equator in my mind. I havent left Maun for a day, but I know where they have a stronghold, They even locked up some of the people who were kidnapped by them.


    Nian Xi understood. Now, she really admired Jiang Yuning.


    If it was her, she wouldnt even know where Maun was, not to mention astronomy. She also had no idea about geography.


    What happened to your face? Nian Xi suddenly asked.

 Chapter 1650. I Am More Concerned About Inner Beauty And Your Feelings to Me

    Chapter 1650. I Am More Concerned About Inner Beauty And Your Feelings to Me


    Jiang Yuning touched it with his hand and said dejectedly, I got the injury when I was just caught by them. Lets not talk about this anymore. Its all in the past. Hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach.


    Nian Xi quietly lowered her head and ate her burger. Although he didnt want to say it, she knew that he must have suffered a lot.


    She was a police officer and had seen many people who would do anything to achieve their goals.


    Xixi, drink some water. The food here is too oily.Jiang Yuning gave her a bottle of mineral water.


    Nian Xi sighed. You said that youve lived here for so long and ate these things every day. Why havent you be fat?


    I control my weight.Jiang Yuning smiled. Im afraid that if I eat too much, you wont like me when I go back.


    The corner of Nian Xis mouth twitched. It was not easy for one to control his weight when one was a spy, Are you stupid? You still have to eat when you are hungry. Do I look like someone who cares about appearance? Im not. I am more concerned about inner beauty and your feelings for me.


    She felt a little bit sorry towards the end of her sentence.


    She imagined what it would be like to see Jiang Yuning be a strong, greasy fatty after their reunion


    She suddenly couldnt bear to think about it anymore.


    Xixi, do you mean it? Jiang Yunings eyes lit up. He was very happy. He knew that his Nian Xi wasnt such a shallow person, but he still wanted to leave a good impression in front of the woman he liked. After all, Nian Xi was so outstanding, and her love rivals were also great.


    Of course, Nian Xi lowered her head and took a bite of her hamburger. She was suddenly worried that he would indulge in his body size from now on, so she quickly added, But I dont think its good to be too fat. Appearance is secondary. One is susceptible to get diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes.


    Youre right. Jiang Yuning nodded in agreement. Xixi, you know how to take care of yourself now.


    Is it because many of the elders in my family have diabetes? Nian Xi chuckled. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Feng Jichuan.


    Xixi, I heard that you and Jiang Yuning were injured. Are you feeling better now?


    Feng Jichuans voice drifted over. Just as Nian Xi was about to answer, she suddenly noticed Jiang Yuning sneaking over. It was as if he wanted to put his ear on the microphone as well.


    However, seeing that Nian Xi noticed it, he quickly sat up straight again.


    The corners of Nian Xis mouth curled up. Im much better. All my vitals are fine. What about you?


    The leader of the TOX organization was caught, but her daughter ran away, Feng Jichuan said regretfully, She escaped on a yacht. Were still not familiar with the terrain here. In addition, the locals arent very cooperative, but I believe Manda wont be able to cause any more trouble now.


    Nian Xi couldnt help but frown. How could you let her run away?


    Manda dared to have improper thoughts about her man. She was going to lock her up for the rest of her life.


    It cant be helped. Manda has done a lot for TOX organization. When we go back and check their ounts, well freeze their funds. She has no money, no stronghold, and her people have been caught. Even if she runs away, it wont be a problem. Theyll be caught sooner orter, Feng Jichuan said, Ill be here tomorrow morning. Well be back as soon as possible.


    Nian Xi put down her phone and gave Nian Junting a call. Only Nian Junting knew that she was here to save Jiang Yuning. After all, the mission was confidential. Brother, Ill be back soon.

 Chapter 1651. Bro, Hello, Can I Come Back And Marry Nian Xi Now

    Chapter 1651. Bro, Hello, Can I Come Back And Marry Nian Xi Now


    The phone was silent for a while, then Nian Junting lowered his voice and said angrily, Nian Xi, do you know what time it is here? Its midnight.


    Im sorry, its still night here, Nian Xi chuckled and said, I thought youd be happy to hear that Im back.


    Whats there to be happy about? I knew that an evil child like you would be an eyesore even to God, Nian Junting said, Wheres Jiang Yuning? Is he dead?


    Bro, what are you talking about? Nian Xi sounded unhappy, Im telling you, I found him.


    After saying that, she turned to Jiang Yuning and said, Do you want to talk to my bro?


    Jiang Yuning hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said into the microphone, Bro, Hello. Can Ie back and marry Nian Xi now?


    His question was too sudden. Nian Xi nudged him with her elbow, feeling embarrassed.


    The speaker was on, and Nian Juntings voice drifted over, Hurry up and marry this old woman. I think no one else can take her except for you.


    Nian Xi hurriedly turned off the speaker and said fiercely to Nian Junting, What are you talking about?


    Hehe, Nian Junting said, Are you afraid that hell know that youre so tough that no man dares to chase after you anymore?


    Get lost, Nian Xi hung up the phone, then brushed her hair and said to Jiang Yuning, Its gettingte. Go to bed early.


    Oh. Jiang Yuning nodded honestly. Xixi, can you move to the side a little more?


    Nian Xi looked at her narrow bed for a while. You can sleep on the empty bed next to it.


    I dont want to.Jiang Yuning blinked his big ck eyes and shook his head. If he wanted to sleep on a bed alone, he would have gone to bed early.


    Nian Xi could not help but stare at him. Finally, she opened the nket and the two of them squeezed into a small bed that was only one meter wide.


    Jiang Yuning buried his head in her neck and muttered, Xixi, why do I feel like everything isnt real?


    Perhaps it was because these years had been too hard to endure. Every day was like counting the days. When she finally arrived, it felt too surreal and unsettling.


    I feel like its quite real, Nian Xi chuckled. Yuning, its all in the past. Lets live a good life from now on.


    Jiang Yuning raised half of his face. Under the dim yellow light, he looked at her for a while before gently pressing his lips on hers.


    Yuning, tomorrowShave. Its too prickly.


    Yes, yes, Xixi Dont talk.


    The next day, Jiang Yuning woke up first. However, because the bed was too narrow, he did not move much the whole night. His back was sore.


    After washing his face, Lei Yichen came to visit the two of them with breakfast. However, when he saw that Nian Xis bed was very messy, and the bed beside it was neat and tidy, he was a little speechless, It cant be. The two of you squeezed into such a narrow bed yesterday. Is it necessary?


    Its necessary. Nian Xizily leaned against the pillow. Weve been separated for a few years, and I really want to stick together at all times. Dont you have this feeling when you go back to see your wife?


    Lei Yichen shook his head. After being married for a long time, love will be kinship. It wont be as inseparable as before. You wont understand even if I tell you. Youll understand after youve been married for ten years.


    Xixi, Ill still be the same ten years from now. Jiang Yuning wrung a towel and handed it to Nian XI. Nian Xi wiped her face.


    At ten oclock, Feng Jichuan, Shen Bing, and the others rushed to the hospital to visit her.

 Chapter 1652. Xixi, What Officer Feng Said Was Very Reasonable

    Chapter 1652. Xixi, What Officer Feng Said Was Very Reasonable


    Jiang Yuning immediately became alert.


    He couldnt help but look at Feng Jichuan. After not seeing him for so long, Feng Jichuan had be sharper than before, and his figure was more burly. The light in his eagle-like eyes was somewhat simr to when Nian Xi looked serious.


    He could not help but look down at his own figure. It really looked thin.


    Hello, Professor Jiang. Feng Jichuan saw him and took the initiative to reach out his hand to him. Its been hard on you for the past three years. If it werent for your help, we wouldnt have been able to destroy the organization so quickly. Thank you very much.


    He was sincere. In the past, he did not really like Jiang Yuning because of their rtionship as rivals in love. But now, he sincerely admired him.


    He had seen too many people who were undercover. Being undercover was a very dangerous and difficult thing. Firstly, one could die at any time. Secondly, one had to be separated from their family for a long time. And Jiang Yuning was not a graduate of the police academy, nor was he a professional undercover, but he still chose to infiltrate the TOX organization. This was something he truly admired.


    So from that moment on, he knew that Nian Xi had really met the person who could protect her for the rest of her life.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned by Feng Jichuans passionate look. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, This is what I should do. Im also helping myself to solve the problem.


    No matter what, with Professor Jiangs identity, the police will spare no effort to protect you back then. Your courage to take this path ismendable, Feng Jichuan said with a smile, I know that youve been wandering abroad for so long and are eager to return. When weve settled the matter here with the local police, we can return to our country.


    Nian Xi asked, How long will that take?


    About three days, Feng Jichuan said, Mandas vi and fish farm need to be searched. Xixi, although your operation with Lei Yichen was sessful this time, as the captain of your mission, I still have to talk about you. Do you know what you did wrong?


    Nian Xi lowered her head in shame. Jiang Yuning quickly said, Xixi did well. She was brave and resourceful. She captured all the criminals.


    You guys were lucky this time, Feng Jichuan said seriously, Nian Xis most impulsive part was that she shouldnt have entered the vi ahead of time. She was lucky that she didnt alert the enemy. ording to the original n, she should have waited for us to take action before she took action. If anything goes wrong in the middle of this, all of our ns will fail.


    Im sorry Nian Xi said softly.


    Being confident is a good thing, but dont be overly confident. Feng Jichuan sighed. Alright, I wont talk about this anymore. Remember this next time.


    Nian Xi nodded her head vigorously.


    Jiang Yuning felt guilty. Officer Feng, Xixi is doing this because of me


    When a police officer carries out a mission, you must always remember that shes a police officer, Feng Jichuan interrupted him.


    Jiang Yuning did not say anything. Although he felt sorry for Nian Xi being scolded, it was still good to be scolded by Feng Jichuan. This way, Nian Xi would not have anything romantic to do with him.


    After thinking for a while, he turned to Nian Xi and said, Xixi, what officer Feng said is very reasonable. Next time, please listen to your boss carefully.


    Yes, it was his boss. He was not the older brother of Ji Chuan, who was his childhood sweetheart.


    Nian Xi stared at him silently. It was fine if she was told off by Feng Jichuan, but he was her boyfriend. What right did he have to criticize her.


    Jiang Yuning turned his head and said to Feng Jichuan, In any case, it was officer Feng who seeded this time. When Nian Xi and I go back, please remember toe and drink with us at our wedding.

 Chapter 1653. She Had Never Felt So Relaxed Before

    Chapter 1653. She Had Never Felt So Rxed Before


    Feng Jichuan was stunned.


    His gaze became subtle. Although Jiang Yuning had always been wary of him in the past, he seemed to be a little more calctive now.


    However, this was also normal. After all, after such a long period of experience, it was impossible for him to still be innoncent like a nk piece of paper.


    If the two of you ever reach the day of marriage, I will definitelye, he said with a faint smile. However, some things are still uncertain. For example, Nian Xi and I almost got married in the past, but we didnt get married in the end either.


    Jiang Yuning was instantly enraged, and mes appeared in his eyes.


    In the small ward, the mes of war spread.


    Nian Xi had a headache. Others might not know, but she could tell very well that Feng Jichuan was provoking Jiang Yuning on purpose.


    Shen Bing asked in confusion, Captain Feng, you and Nian Xi


    Feng Jichuan chuckled. Nian Xi and I grew up together.


    Shen Bing understood. Then dont Let Dannan find out about that. She gets jealous easily.


    Feng Jichuans face stiffened. He quickly cleared his throat. Nian Xi, take care of your injuries. I still have a lot of things to do.


    Alright, Hurry up and leave. Nian Xi waved her hand.


    After the group of police left, Jiang Yuning sat next to Nian Xi with an unhappy expression. Well get married when we get back.


    We have to get married.


    Nian Xi looked at him from the corner of her eyes and suddenly could not help but pinch his face. Oh, you know how to y tricks now. You deliberately provoked him just now.


    Jiang Yunings face turned red. He did not expect to be exposed so quickly. You didnt hear what he said. He meant that we might not be able to get married yet. He deliberately cursed us.


    Who told you to show off on purpose? Nian Xi smiled. I already told you that he has a girlfriend. Why are you still so petty?


    Jiang Yuning did not say anything. Nian Xi did notunderstand. Some people were destined to be unable to get along peacefully. For example, Feng Jichuan. Even if he had saved him ten thousand times, he would still be wary of him because he was Nian Xis first love. Nian Xis first kiss must have been given to him, he was jealous.


    Xixi, Im going to shave.


    After Nian Xi finished her breakfast, she saw hime out after shaving. Other than his face being a little darker, there were many scars on his face. He was still as handsome as a fine piece of jade.


    She really wanted to pounce on him, but now that her waist was injured, she could not move much.


    Because the hospitals environment was really bad, there were too many mosquitoes at night. The next day, Nian Xi checked out of the hospital and moved into the hotel.


    Jiang Yuning followed her anyway. When they arrived at the hotel, they found that there was a swimming pool and a private beach near the beach. They were living in a single-family house with lush trees in the garden.


    He was puzzled. Xixi, you can live in such a nice house when youre out on a mission?


    Nian Xi smiled and rolled her eyes at him, Of course not. This is my private reservation. Now that the mission ispleted, it can be considered private time. Thinking about how the two of us rarely go out on a solo trip, there are two days left. We can spend the time alone by the beach, even though the environment here is still far from the Maldives.


    She let out a long sigh and threw herself onto the beach chair in the courtyard. She narrowed her eyes and said, Its been a long time since Ive been so rxed and content.


    She thought about what kind of life she had been living these past few years. She had been tense all the time and didnt dare to rx at all. She was afraid that she would think of Jiang Yuning.


    Now that her beloved had returned to her side, the bad guy had also been caught.


    She had never felt more at ease.

 Chapter 1654. If Only Liuxi Was Here at This Time

    Chapter 1654. If Only Liuxi Was Here at This Time


    Jiang Yuning sat quietly beside her, looking at the sea and the blue sky in the distance.


    The waves hit the beach again and again.


    Although he had stayed in Samoa for more than a year, he had never felt that the sea was as beautiful as it was today. Even the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.


    He understood Nian Xis mood.


    In these three years, she had lived her life as heavily as he did.


    Xixi, now that youve joined Interpol, in the futurewould you work outside often? He suddenly remembered something, and his mood immediately became less rxed, I heard from Officer Lei yesterday that he spends 320 out of 365 days a year outside


    He really wanted to see Xixi every day. He could not bear to be apart for so long.


    Im not an Interpol officer now. I am only transferred here temporarily. Nian Xi could not help butugh. Ill have to return to Xia city when I get back, but Im now the captain of Xia City. Im also very busy. I have a lot of cases every day.


    Xixi, youre really amazing. Jiang Yuning sincerely admired her. Butit must be very hard.


    Nian Xis chest tightened. After a while, she nodded. It was hard. Sometimes, I worked overtime until one or two in the morning and couldnte home for a few days. But I felt fulfilled and satisfied, so I n to be a police officer for the rest of my life. Do you support me?


    I support you. Jiang Yuning leaned his head on her thigh quietly. But I have one condition. I want you to be safe and sound. Arresting people is important, but whats more important is your life. Think about it. You still have a hubby.


    Whose hubby? I havent married you yet. Nian Xi smiled and pinched his ear. She looked into the distance. Time seemed to be peaceful.


    After dinner, the two of them held hands and strolled around the nearby streets. There was a lot of fruit and seafood here. The only regret was that the barbecue here was not very good. In addition, Nian Xi was not good at cooking, and Jiang Yuning was injured, the two of them could not cook by themselves either.


    When they passed by the pier with a coconut in their hands and saw the fishermen selling all kinds of fresh sea fish by the sea, Nian Xi shook her head and sighed.


    Whats wrong? Jiang Yuning was baffled. He had probably lived in the fish farm for too long and ate too much sashimi, so he waspletely immuned to these fish.


    Look, this prawn is so fresh, so fat, and so cheap. Nian Xi smacked her lips, her eyes shining. If only Liuxi was here at this time.


    As she spoke, the man who was holding her suddenly let go of her hand.


    Nian Xi did not notice it until she stared at another fresh fish. She felt her entire heart hurt. Oh my God, this is Antic blue marlin Ah Ah this is the top ingredient for sashimi.


    She screamed for a long time and realized that the person around her did not say anything. She turned around and saw Jiang Yuning standing behind her with a stinky expression. Who offended you?


    Jiang Yuning did not say anything and walked forward with his head down.


    Whats wrong? Nian Xi quickly chased after him and held his hand. Is your period here?


    Jiang Yuning red at her with hidden bitterness.


    Nian Xi frowned. If you have something to say, say it. I didnt offend you. There has to be a reason.


    Liuxi, Jiang Yuning said unhappily. Who is he? Why do you wish for him to be here? Isnt it good for me to be here?


    He knew nothing about her for the past three years. It was possible that she had other love rivals.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes at the sky speechlessly. Dont you know Mo Liuxi? Havent you met him before?

 Chapter 1655. His Nian Xi Was So Manly, WuChapter a Woman Was Too Rare

    Chapter 1655. His Nian Xi Was So Manly, WuChapter a Woman Was Too Rare


    I dont know. Jiang Yuning thought about it carefully, but he really could noy remember such a person. I dont remember.


    Other than Nian Xis parents and older brother, he did not care about anyone else, and he would not deliberately remember them, so he forgot about themter.


    We even went to Hang Zhou together and yed cards. We met many times, my sister-inws younger brother, Nian Xi said unhappily. Hes quite handsome


    The gloominess in Jiang Yunings eyes deepened. The main point is that hes very handsome.


    Of course, hes not as handsome as you. Nian Xi was embarrassed. Why was this guy so easy to get jealous and overbearing now? He could not even tolerate hearing appraisal sof other men anymore.


    When youre with me, is it good to think about your sister-inws younger brother like this? Jiang Yunings mood was extremelyplicated.


    Why cant I think about it? Were not in a romantic rtionship, and hes already married. When this matter was brought up, Nian Xi felt like sighing, Hes only twenty this year. His child is already in kindergarten, and hes already married. Thinking about it, Im quite a failure.


    Jiang Yuning counted his age in detail and suddenly felt quite dejected. Arent you saying that Im even more of a failure? Im almost ten years older than him, and my child isnt even an embryo now.


    After he finished speaking, his eyes turned gray.


    Um Nian Xi suddenly did notknow how tofort him, By the way, do you know who his wife is? Its that singer, Yan Su, who went to the concert in Hang Zhou. Sigh, I was shocked to death when the two of them went public. No wonder I lost when I tried to snatch the bouquet.


    Xixi, its okay. Were going to get married soon, Jiang Yuning said quickly. Dont envy others, and dont think about other men.


    Ill remember him because hes really good at cooking. If he were here today, these fish would be able to make all kinds of delicious dishes.


    Nian Xi praised him from the bottom of her heart, Every time I go to my brothers ce and meet Liuxi, he would make all kinds of delicious dishes, such as spicy chicken wings, crispy ribs, hand-grabbedmb chopshis culinary skills are even better than those in the restaurant. Did you know that his wife lives this kind of life every night? When she opens her eyes, all kinds of delicious breakfast would be brought to her. When she goes home, she would be fed ice cream. When his wife is busy, he would feed her milk tea and yogurt. He practically raised Yan Su like a little pig. My Sister-inw is extremely jealous, but she also sympathizes with my sister-inw. With such a close friend as aparison, and thinking about my bro, I hate him for not living up to expectations.


    Jiang Yuning was silent after hearing this.


    Did he know how to cook spicy chicken wings? No.


    Did he know how to cook crispy ribs? Definitely not.


    He did not know how to cook in the past, not to mention now. In the past, he only knew how to cook.


    Xixi, dont be envious. Ill learn when I get back, Jiang Yuning said seriously. Ill take him as my teacher, okay?


    You cant learn this kind of thing. Nian Xi shook her head. Hes a glutton. He likes to cook all kinds of food. Hes born with it. My bros cooking is bad, but hes also born with it. Just like me. Im also bad. Im born with it, but I know better than my bro.


    Jiang Yuning frowned. He decided to study hard when he went back.


    Mo Liuxi? He remembered this name. When he went back, he had to be careful to keep Nian XI away from him.


    Even if he got married, he might like his Nian Xi. His Nian Xi was so manly. Such a woman was too rare. It was hard to guarantee that others would not have improper thoughts.

 Chapter 1656. Manda Will Never Return

    Chapter 1656. Manda Will Never Return


    After visiting the pier, Nian Xi wanted to go to the night market again.


    Although it was called a night market, it was actually sunset in Samoa because it didnt get dark untilte at night.


    There were many people outside at night, and Jiang Yuning didnt quite agree with her n. Xixi, lets go back to the hotel. After all, Manda hasnt been caught yet. This is a territory shes familiar with, and even Im not that familiar with it. Moreover, the security here is not as good as in China. Itsmon for many foreigners toe here and get robbed every day.


    Nian Xiughed disapprovingly. Thats because they dont know my skills.


    Jiang Yuning frowned. He felt that Nian Xis words were too arrogant. What About Manda? Based on my understanding of her, she definitely wont let it go. Although the police here are also cooperating with Feng Jichuan, they actually wont do much to catch her. This ce is too remote. Many people have emigrated to other countries.


    Thats perfect. Manda will never return. Nian Xi scoffed. Moreover, Manda doesnt know me. Why is she looking for me? I havent even shown up in front of her during the operation.


    But she knows me. She must know that Im a spy, Jiang Yuning muttered.


    Are you afraid? Nian Xi casually picked up a big mango by the roadside.


    Jiang Yuning was speechless for a long time.


    How could he say that he was afraid? It was not easy to reunite with her, and he had not married yet. He did not want to be impotent.


    Xixi, listen to me, Okay? Jiang Yuning said.


    Nian Xi ignored him and asked the vendor how much the mango was. Then, she paid for two big mangoes.


    The two strolled until 10:30 pm before slowly returning home.


    Nian Xi walked very slowly as she ate the pineapple. Yuning, the pineapple here is really sweet. Do you want to try some?


    Xixi, dont eat too much. The Pineapple will let you have excessive heatiness. Youre still injured. Jiang Yuning felt like he was being a worrying mother.


    Its okay to eat a little. Nian Xis smiling eyes suddenly narrowed. Before Jiang Yuning could react, he was pushed to the back of a car parked by the side of the road.


    Hide, quickly. Nian Xi pressed down on his head. Immediately after, there were several gunshotsing from the ce where the two of them had been standing.


    Jiang Yuning looked at the ce where they had been standing and saw that the tree next to them had been shot through by bullets.


    Immediately after, the car sses that the two of them were leaning against were also shattered. The ss fell down with a crash. Jiang Yuning subconsciously protected Nian Xis body to prevent it from hurting her.


    Nian Xi was stunned. This was probably the first time she had encountered such a dangerous situation where a man was protecting her.


    She sighed deeply and pulled Jiang Yuning away.


    Xixi, dont move. Jiang Yuning frowned, and his tone had never been so fierce.


    Since Manda has delivered herself to my door, how can I let her escape? Nian Xi pushed him away and moved to the side of the car. She saw Manda and two of her subordinates sitting in a shabby van, continuously attacking them.


    She closed her eyes and silently thought for a few seconds. Then, she quickly shot to blow up the two tires of the minivan.


    Manda, who was in the car, was shocked. She didnt expect that the car was still moving. This policewoman could urately blow up the minivan. She was so depressed that she wanted to die.


    Miss, the car cant drive anymore,none of her subordinates hurriedly said. Lets go first. We caused amotion here. Theres no need to rush to take revenge now.


    What do you know? I must kill Jiang Yuning and this woman. Cant you see how intimate they are? Manda was already furious.

 Chapter 1657. He Was Really Angry

    Chapter 1657. He Was Really Angry


    She was a highborn mistress. Everyone around her had always obeyed her, but Jiang Yuning didnt care about her at all. It didnt ur to her that Jiang Yuning was a spy, and it seemed that he had something going on with this policewoman.


    She really wanted to kill these two people.


    After saying that, she acted even more fiercely.


    Seeing that the car that Nian Xi was hiding turned into a beehive, several cars suddenly surrounded her from both sides of the road.


    Feng Jichuan got out of the car and shouted through the walkie-talkie, You are surrounded. Get out of the car and surrender now.


    Mandas expression changed. Her subordinate smiled bitterly and said, Miss, we cant escape. It seems that we have fallen into a trap this time. I said that you shouldnt take action, so you should find a ce to hide.


    Shut up,Manda roared fiercely. A sinister glint shed in her eyes. Theres a sea by the side. You guys drive out immediately.


    One of her subordinates gritted his teeth and was about to start the car again, but just as he moved, he was immediately killed.


    Following that, Feng Jichuan led his men and slowly broke through the encirclement. Manda did not have any subordinates, so she did not dare to resist. She could only let Feng Jichuane up and handcuff her.


    Its alright. Lets go. Nian Xi pulled Jiang Yuning out.


    Jiang Yuning, you betrayed us. I wont let you off. Manda looked at him and instantly became furious. Her eyes were burning with mes.


    Why wont you let him off? Nian Xis deep gaze revealed a mocking smile, He has never betrayed you. He was originally the most outstanding scientist in China. He joined your organization only to be a spy, and all of this was forced by you. An organization like yours that has done countless heinous things for huge benefits should have been eradicated long ago.


    Mandas face instantly turned pale. She also knew what would happen in the end. She regretted it. She should not have been unable to control herself after seeing Jiang Yuning. She should have escaped and regrouped her forces.


    Now she was really finished.


    And all of this was because of Jiang Yuning.


    She red fiercely at Jiang Yuning, wishing that she could cut him into a thousand pieces.


    This woman really doesnt know how to repent. Nian Xi shook her head. Fortunately, she had caught her today. Otherwise, if she had run away, she might have let the tiger return back to the forest.


    Nian Xi, professor Jiang, thank you for being bait today. Feng Jichuans thoughts were simr to Nian Xis as he said with a smile.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. In fact, he had guessed it just now, but it was only after Feng Jichuan said it that he waspletely sure.


    So he had somehow be bait?


    Why didnt Nian Xi tell him?


    He was really angry.


    Dont say that. As long as we can catch her, this is what we should do, Nian Xi said to Manda with a smile. When you guys were following me at the dock, I noticed it. Did you think that I couldnt see you guys in the car? Youve been wandering around for the whole night. Is it how you follow people? Its too obvious.


    Manda was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. This was her first time following someone. In the past, she had always been the onemanding others to do things for her. Since you already knew where I was, why didnt you act earlier?


    We dont want to have a conflict with you in the downtown area because we want to avoid hurting the innocent people. Nian Xi said calmly. And you also dont dare to act in the downtown area anymore. If you make a big fuss and alert the Samoan police, you wont be able to escape.

 Chapter 1658. Youre Calling Me Ugly?

    Chapter 1658. You''re Calling Me Ugly?


    Mandas lips twitched. She finally understood.


    Lets go, get in the car. Feng Jichuan escorted Manda into the car.


    Ill send you off,Nian Xi said with a smile.


    Nian Xi,e back with me. Jiang Yuning grabbed her hand in annoyance. She hadnt even recovered yet, and she was already going to escort a prisoner. It was simply outrageous.


    I wont do anything in the car, Nian Xi said with a smile. Go sit in the police car behind. I still need to chat with Miss Manda for a while.


    Whats there to talk about? Jiang Yuning waspletely baffled.


    Alright, dont mind me. Nian Xi pushed Manda into the police car.


    Jiang Yuning stood at the door for a while. He had no choice but to squeeze in with Lei Yichen and the others. Along the way, his face was dark. Not only was he angry that Nian Xi didnt tell him about todays arrangements, but he was also angry that Nian Xi and Feng Jichuan were sitting in the car in front.


    Lei Yichen said, Professor Jiang, dont be angry. Nian Xi didnt tell you because she was afraid that you wouldnt agree to her taking the risk.


    Of course I dont agree. Jiang Yunings handsome face was livid. If you want to be bait, Ill go. Manda wants to kill me the most. Why would she go? She hasnt even recovered from her injuries.


    Thats why she didnt tell you. Lei Yichen sighed, Mr. Jiang, I admit that youre very good at being a spy. I admire you for being safe and sound for so many years, but being a bait isnt like that. If Manda makes a sudden move, you wont be able to avoid it without acute skills. Nian Xi wont be at ease with you being bait alone. Moreover, Nian Xi thinks Manda likes you. If she sees you with a woman whos very close to you, shell definitely be jealous and hot-headed. Think about it. She just lost her father and her organization. She has always wanted to conquer you, but she saw you being conquered by another woman. How shameful would a proud person like her feel?


    Jiang Yuning was speechless.


    Indeed, Manda was such a proud and arrogant woman.


    Rather than saying that she liked him, it would be more urate to say that she was interested in him and wanted to conquer him. The more he looked down on her, the more she wanted him.


    He smiled bitterly. So Nian Xi and I went to the seaside for a holiday and spent time alone. That was part of the n, right?


    Lei Yichen coughed lightly and said with a twinkle, Dont say that The more upscale your hotel was, the more anger Manda would have.


    Jiang Yuning stared at him coldly. In the end, he stared until Lei Yichen was speechless. Only then did he harrumph heavily and ignore the other people in the car.


    In the car in front, Nian Xi sat in the front passenger seat while Feng Jichuan and Manda sat in the back. Nian Xi looked back at Manda from time to time.


    It had to be said that when she first saw Manda, she still felt that she was quite good-looking. However, it was probably because too many things had happened recently that she looked haggard and much older.


    What are you looking at, ugly freak? Manda felt like she was being stared at like an animal in a zoo, and she gave an extremely ufortable re.


    Youre calling me ugly? Nian Xi pointed at herself and smiled in surprise.


    Manda gritted her teeth. Who are you? Whats your rtionship with Jiang Yuning? Are you pretending to be a couple?


    Do we need to pretend? Im his girlfriend, Nian Xi. Nian Xi sneered. Have you forgotten that three years ago, you almost got someone to kill me?


    Manda was stunned and frowned. She seemed to have heard of such a thing, but she was not very clear because it was done by the leader of the organization. Moreover, she had never seen Nian Xis photo.

 Chapter 1659. It Was Okay to Offend Anyone, But One Should Never Offend a Woman Like Nian XI

    Chapter 1659. It Was Okay to Offend Anyone, But One Should Never Offend a Woman Like Nian XI


    However, Manda was also a woman. She quickly noticed Nian Xis hostility towards her. This hostility was not because of their identities, but merely because they were women.


    What do you want? Manda frowned gloomily.


    Nian Xi could not help butugh. What can I do? I just want to take a good look at you. I heard that you were eyeing my man covetously and even gave him food that he shouldnt eat. Are you that thirsty? Are you so unwanted?


    You shut up. Manda was so angry that her face turned dark. If this kind of thing was exposed in public, any proud woman would lose face.


    Why didnt you feel embarrassed when you were doing it? Nian Xi sneered. Unfortunately, even if you drugged him, he wouldnt touch you. Youre the only one who dares to covet my man. Get over yourself!


    Youre their captain, arent you? Manda couldnt argue with her, so she looked at Feng Jichuan angrily, Youre still in Samoa, and Im an American citizen. Can you bully foreigners as you please? Even if you go to court, I can find awyer to sue you.


    Captain Feng shrugged helplessly. He didnt expect that Nian Xi would sit next to him to humiliate Manda. It seemed that she had been provoked by Manda in the fish farm. Maybe he didnt know Nian Xi well enough. She was too fierce. A woman like Manda wasnt even a rival in love, yet she still wanted to bully her and attack her with words. She really had Nian Juntings style.


    Did I attack you personality just now? Nian Xi asked with a smile, Did I say anything wrong? Did I nder you again? Or do you think youre beautiful? Do you deny that you didnt covet Jiang Yuning? A few nights ago, when you came out of the fish farm with him, you had a t tire. I heard clearly how you molested him.


    Manda was shocked.


    Im sorry, I was hiding in the grass at that time. Nian Xis smile became more and more dangerous. You had the nerve to say that youre good, but you failed to conquer him?


    Manda blushed even more. Both sides of her face seemed to have been hit by her verbal attacks. She finally understood that this woman was getting into the car to humiliate her. Yeah, so what if Im coveting Jiang Yuning? Ive seen him every day for the past two years. Ive even flirted with him. Ive touched his chest too. If you have the ability, kill me.


    Youre really horny. You have the nerve to show off by touching his chest. Nian Xi shook her head, I wont kill you. A person like you will be shot sooner orter anyway. I came here to get to know you. Thest woman who coveted my man has already been cleaned by me. But you, youre not even as good as my previous love rival. Youre really ugly.


    After saying that, Nian Xi did not look back anymore. She lowered her head and started ying with her phone.


    Manda was so angry that he wanted to bite her to death. However, he was quickly suppressed by Feng Jichuan. He warned, Dont move.


    Manda was so discouraged that she curled up in the chair.


    Feng Jichuan rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He did not know whether tough or cry at this situation. It seemed that it was better to offend anyone than to offend a woman like Nian Xi.


    When they reached the police station, Feng Jichuan led the prisoners to the police station. Tomorrow, they were going to hand the prisoners over to the Italian Interpol.


    Nian Xi got out of the car and waved at Manda. Goodbye. No, I may never see you again.


    Mandas legs trembled and she was about to break down.


    Nian Xi turned around in a good mood and saw Jiang Yuning standing behind her with a frown.

 Chapter 1660. I Only Have Eyes for You

    Chapter 1660. I Only Have Eyes for You


    Are you angry?


    Nian Xi quickly hid the smile on her face and went forward to hug him.


    Jiang Yuning took a step back and directly dodged. His handsome face was gloomy. You wont tell me anything anyway. Do you mind if I get angry?


    If it was in the past, Jiang Yuning might have gotten used to Nian Xi standing in front to protect her, but it was different now. He was better than before. After all, three years of undercover work was not in vain.


    I was just afraid that you wouldnt agree, Nian Xi smiled bitterly.


    Lei Yichen had just exined all this to Jiang Yuning in the car. He understood it, but it didnt mean that he didnt mind at all.


    Xixi, you lied to me. Jiang Yuning felt very hurt, and it was terrible, You said that you wanted to spend some time alone with me by the sea. You said that you havent been so happy in a long time. You dont know how happy Ive been these two days, but all of this was a lie that you made up for me.


    Wow, no wonder youre so angry. Lei Yichen, who had just passed by, could not help but look sideways with a smile. Nian Xi, youre wrong to say that. The mission is the mission. How can you lie to Professor Jiang like that?


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes at him. Why havent you left yet?


    He doesnt have to leave. Ill leave. Jiang Yuning turned around and walked along the road in a huff.


    It was already dark, and the streets were sparsely popted. Nian Xi quickly chased after him. Yuning,e back with me. My wound is starting to hurt again.


    She coquettishly wrapped her arms around him.


    You still know how to feel pain? Jiang Yuning became even angrier. You havent even recovered from your injury, yet you still want to catch a criminal. Nian Xi, youre not a transformer.


    I promise I wont do it again, Nian Xi swore.


    You always lie to me. Jiang Yuning didnt believe it at all. Do you know the story of the cry wolf?


    Nian Xi felt a headache, she frowned and said solemnly, Yuning, I understand that youre angry, but Im not lying to you about what I said at the seaside hotel. Im really happy to be able to spend time with you. I even want to apany you after this mission. We can go to Tibet or Yunnan to travel around. All these years, my brother has often gone on a trip with Sangsang. Actually, Im quite envious. I also want to have someone to apany me.


    The anger on Jiang Yunings face slowly faded away, reced by sadness and guilt.


    It was his fault. As her boyfriend, he had made her worried. If she had not met him, perhaps her boyfriend would have been a business elite, a doctor, or awyer, and she would not have had to work so hard.


    Nian Xi sighed and continued, If we dont lure Manda out today, she will be a ticking time bomb at any time. When you were young, Mandas father founded the TOX organization, and waster arrested by the police.


    But in less than ten years, he has made aeback. For a person like Manda who grew up in a criminal organization, it will be very difficult for her to return to the right path. Moreover, she will definitely avenge for the organization and her father. I dont want the incident that happened three years ago to happen again, So, I must destroy the root of the problem. Moreover, if we dont capture her, what is the use of your three years of undercover? What are we doing after being separated for so many years?


    Jiang Yuning was shocked.


    Actually, he knew what Nian Xi had said.


    However, from what Nian Xi said, it seemed like he was being too petty.


    Xixi, I admit that youre right, but I dont see it as far as you do because I only have eyes for you. Im here as a spy because of you. If youre not around one day, then whats the point of doing all this?

 Chapter 1661. He Likes Her Tyranny And Her Domination

    Chapter 1661. He Likes Her Tyranny And Her Domination


    Nian Xis eyes reddened. She bit her lip and reached out to hug him tightly.


    Xixi, Im not that great. Jiang Yuning smiled bitterly and reached out to hug her. But youre a police officer. I think the situation is different from what you see.


    Im not that great this time. Nian Xi tried her best to hold back her tears. She just curled her lips, Its all because of Manda. That woman If I dont deal with her, I wont be getting back to normal. I still have a personal grudge with her. First, shes eyeing my man. Second, the medicine she gave you made you suffer so much. If it werent for your strong willpower, would we be standing here as if nothing had happened?


    Jiang Yuning came to a sudden realization, and his heart was instantly filled with warmth. So, Xixi, you did all this for me?


    Of course. Nian Xi nodded vigorously. Im not that great, because youre very, very important to me. I wont allow anyone to covet you. Just now, I humiliated her in the car.


    Jiang Yuning didnt know whether tough or cry. Xixi, is it necessary? Ive never actually paid attention to Manda.


    As for that, Nian Xi admitted openly, Im just that overbearing.


    Jiang Yuning stared at the woman under the streetmp. A gust of sea breeze blew past, blowing the strands of hair beside her ear.


    He gently brushed the hair to his ear, his gaze gentle.


    Although he had never interacted with other women, he knew that Nian Xi was not an ordinary woman.


    However, the more they got along, the more he loved her. He liked her tyranny and her domination.


    Are you still angry? Nian Xi raised her head. Her big ck eyes reflected the starry sky.


    Im not angry anymore. In the future, we can really be together without any scruples. Jiang Yuning held her hand, But, Xixi, you should discuss your decision with me in the future. After all, Im not as timid and cowardly as I was three years ago. At that time, I only knew how to stand behind you.


    Nian X burst intoughter. Were you a coward in the past? I dont think so. Youre a hero in my heart.


    Hero


    Jiang Yunings eyes lit up.


    He smiled and said nothing.


    Xixi, lets go home.


    Okay.


    Two dayster, a group of people left Samoa by ne.


    After traveling for two days, it was already evening when they arrived in Beijing. However, there were still many colleagues waiting outside.


    The one who took the lead was the captain of the Interpol, Cheng Feng. Behind him were a few policemen. One of them was a woman with neat short hair. She looked valiant and cool. When she saw Feng Jichuan, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. However, when her gaze swept past Nian Xi beside her, she became serious.


    Nian Xi was extremely sharp. With one nce, she could see that the policewoman was sizing her up. In addition, she had also noticed her. After all, she was also a woman. Moreover, she was young, and she looked good.


    She smiled and looked at Feng Jichuan beside her. Brother Jichuan, is your girlfriend here too?


    Feng Jichuan was stunned for a few seconds. His gaze fell on Xu Dannan and he nodded. How do you know?


    Because Im a policeman Before Nian Xi could finish her joke, her body was suddenly pulled to the side. Jiang Yuning forcefully squeezed between him and Feng Jichuan.


    She was speechless. Actually, she and Feng Jichuan were not very close.


    Feng Jichuan also raised his eyebrows. Professor Jiang, its actually useless for you to keep a close watch on me. Nian Xi and I have always been childhood friends.

 Chapter 1662. Ive Heard Him Talk about You Before. Are You Her Ex-girlfriend?

    Chapter 1662. I''ve Heard Him Talk about You Before. Are You Her Ex-girlfriend?


    Im not staring at you. Jiang Yuning blinked and looked at him as if nothing had happened. Dont think too much.


    After saying that, he hugged Nian Xis shoulders tightly.


    Feng Jichuan was a little choked.


    Alright, this guy knows how to act now. Fair enough, undercover work was not in vain.


    Nian Xi heard it too. She turned around and pinched Jiang Yunings thigh. Not bad.


    Jiang Yuning frowned in pain. He was forced by the situation.


    Walking closer, Cheng Feng took the lead to hold Jiang Yunings hand, Professor Jiang, its been hard for you these past few days. TOX organization is currently a cancer in many countries. Some of their illegal research has harmed many people. This time, they captured a total of 200 illegal researchers who escaped from all over the world. Its all thanks to you.


    Its good that youve captured them, Jiang Yuning said with a smile. In the future, I can go back and continue to study physics.


    Cheng Feng smiled. Ive already informed your parents about your mission a few days ago. Theyre all very happy that youre still alive. Its just that these past few years havent been easy. After all, they all thought that you were gone.


    Jiang Yuning was startled, and his eyes dimmed. Back then, in order to hide the truth, he hadnt even told his parents. Since they were both researchers, he was afraid that the people of the TOX organization were also secretly hiding in the country. After all, the circle of researchers was only so big.


    My family didnt move, right? He asked hesitantly.


    No, your parents are still in their old house in Beijing, Cheng Feng said. Go back as soon as possible and take a look. Tomorrow, our director will personally give you an award. Pleasee to the central bureau. In the evening, a few of our colleagues who participated in this operation will wee you.


    No, Jiang Yuning shook his head directly and said indifferently, These are not important to me. I just want to spend more time with my parents and my girlfriend, and then get married as soon as possible. Im not interested in anything else. I dont want to waste time.


    He was really rude.


    Cheng Feng was stunned for a while, and Nian Xi quickly exined, Captain Cheng, he is such a person. In the past, he never interacted with others. Moreover, he left home for three years and was injured. He really needs to get back on track urgently.


    Its okay. We are police officers. We have interacted with all kinds of people. Cheng Feng smiled and waved his hand, We are just very grateful to Mr. Jiang, but we dont know how to thank him. I didnt think about his injuries. I forgot that Mr. Jiang is still injured, but I still have to give him the medal. I will have someone send it over tomorrow. When you get married, remember to send us an invitation. We will all attend.


    Thank you, Captain Cheng. Nian Xi was ttered. They were both captains, but his position was not something she couldpare to.


    At this time, the female police officer next to Cheng Feng walked up to Feng Jichuan and asked gently, Jichuan, I heard that you were also injured this time


    Just a minor injury. Feng Jichuan was silent for a while before turning to Nian Xi with mixed feelings. Xixi, this is my girlfriend, Xu Dannan. Shes from team two.


    Hello.Nian XI quickly shook hands with him and smiled generously. Ive heard about you from Brother Jichuan. Youre very beautiful.


    Youre also very beautiful. Xu Dannan sized her up. Ive heard about you from him too. Are you her ex-girlfriend?


    Er


    Everyone around looked at her strangely. Nian Xi smiled embarrassedly. Thats all in the past.

 Chapter 1663. The First Time She Met Her Parents-in-law, She Was Nervous

    Chapter 1663. The First Time She Met Her Parents-inw, She Was Nervous


    Feng Jichuan awkwardly clenched his fist and coughed. Dont just stand there. Lets go back.


    The group of people chatted as they walked out.


    As the main character and hero this time, Jiang Yuning was surrounded by the people. Cheng Dannan walked beside Nian Xi. She smiled and took the initiative to chat with Nian Xi. Officer Nian, actually, Ive wanted to meet you for a long time.


    Nian Xi was helpless. She understood that ex was always the most annoying to the current boyfriend or girlfriend. Just like Jiang Yuning, no matter how many times she told him that Feng Jichuan had a girlfriend, he always kept his guard up.


    Officer Cheng, Jichuan and I are the past tense. Now were more like brother and sister, and I also have a boyfriend. I sincerely wish the two of you the best, Nian Xi said from the bottom of her heart. I also hope that Jichuan can be happy.


    Dont misunderstand. Im not hostile to You, Cheng Dannan waved her hand and said generously, You and professor Jiang have been separated for so many years, but your rtionship has remained the same. Im quite impressed. Im just curious about you because when I fell in love with Jichuan, and he only had you in his heart. But Im not jealous of you. Love didnt firste, first served. Later, I chased after him with all my might and finally got him.


    Nian Xi nodded. Feng Jichuan had always been very rational and gentle when it came to rtionships. In fact, his EQ was not very high, so it was impossible for him to take the initiative to pursue someone else.


    Officer Nian, I used to think about what kind of woman Jichuan fell in love to. Now I see that youre very beautiful, very brave, and very righteous. Cheng Dannan said with a smile. I hope toe to Beijing often in the future. Well have the opportunity to work together to solve crimes. After all, were both female police officers.


    Nian Xi couldnt help butugh. Its not possible for the time being, because I n to go back and get married and have children.


    Cheng Dannan was stunned for a moment and didnt know whether tough or cry. Youre right. As a woman, getting married and having children is still necessary. When the timees, Jichuan and I will go to the wedding banquet together.


    You are very wee.


    When they walked into the parking lot, Jiang Yuning had appeared beside Nian Xi without anyone noticing. He grabbed her hand. Xixi, Captain Cheng and I have an agreement. Lets go home.


    Go Home ? Nian Xi was a little confused.


    My parents are waiting for me at home. Jiang Yunings dark eyes revealed a happy glow. Youll go with me.


    Nian Xis legs trembled. Was she going to meet her future parents-inw so suddenly?


    Uh Its necessary for you to go back, but isnt it abrupt for me to go with you? I think its better for you to go back first. Ill stay in a hotel. You can pick me up after you talk to your parents about me tonight. Nian Xi said hesitantly, she would be nervous when she met her parents-inw for the first time.


    Why is it so troublesome? Jiang Yuning frowned. He didnt understand. Weve known each other for five years and had a rtionship for four years. Its not abrupt at all.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed and couldnt help but retort, You have the nerve to say that weve been in love for four years. We havent talked on the phone for almost three years, okay?


    So you deny that weve had a rtionship for four years? Jiang Yuning disagreed. When I went undercover, we didnt break up. Although we didnt talk, I miss you every day. This is a sublimation of our rtionship on another level.


    Nian Xi shivered. As a scientist, her words were so cultured. Im just afraid of scaring your parents, okay? Besides, your parents will definitely have a lot to talk to you when you go back tonight.

 Chapter 1664. The Jiang Family

    Chapter 1664. The Jiang Family


    But I dont want to talk to them,J iang Yunings tone was bitter. Other than scientific research, our family rarely talks about anything else.


    Nian Xi was speechless. What kind of family was this. That wont happen. I heard from Uncle Han that in the three years youve been away, your parents havent been doing much scientific research. The projects in their hands have basically all stopped. They regret not fulfilling their responsibilities as parents. Your family rarely talk about your personal lives. Maybe your parents are like you and dont really care about people, but youre their biological child, so they must care about you a lot.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his eyes. He knew this since he knew how he missed his parents during the years he was away. He also felt sorry for them, but he really didnt know how to talk to them.


    Xixi, you shoulde back with me. Jiang Yuning held her hand tightly, Not only did I go back, but also I brought a wife back. They would definitely be very happy. Not only are our bodies extremely fused, but our souls are also fused. We really dont need to care too much about this.


    Nian Xis emotion was like a roller coater.


    What do you mean by souls are fused? Is it suitable for a scientist to say things like that?


    Moreover, there are people around. Is it appropriate for you to say these words?


    She felt the gazes of Lei Yichen and the others on the side sweeping over, and her face burned.


    Lei Yichen said with a face full of admiration, Professor Jiang is indeed knowledgeable. He speaks in a certain way. I believe that it wont be long before well be able to attend your childs birthday party.


    Get lost. Nian Xi kicked him in anger.


    Jiang Yuning didnt hear her teasing and nodded with a smile. Okay, Ill work hard.


    Everyoneughed.


    Nian Xi was so embarrassed that she stepped on Jiang Yuning a few times. If you dont speak, no one will treat you as mute.


    Jiang Yuning looked innocent after being stepped on.


    In the end, Nian Xi couldnt resist Jiang Yunings persuasion and followed him back to the Jiang family.


    In the car, Nian Xi took out her makeup bag and started to put one her makeup.


    It was not that she was not beautiful, but she had been on the sea for the past two days and had not rested well at all. She looked rather haggard. It was her first time meeting her parents-inw, so her image could not be too bad.


    Jiang Yuning sat silently by the side and watched her put on her makeup. After she put away her makeup bag, he smiled and said, Xixi, youre so beautiful, just like a fairy.


    Nian Xi immediately noticed that the police officer in front of her burst intoughter.


    Shut up. Nian Xi rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuning.


    Even if he wanted to praise someone, he could be more careful in choosing his words.


    Jiang Yuning silently shut his mouth and looked aggrieved. He did not know what he had done wrong. He was clearly praising her, but he was still scolded.


    The Jiang family was located in the Western District of Beijing. About fifty minutester, the car stopped on a small road that was filled with Qing dynasty-style buildings.


    Nian Xi looked to the side and saw that the car was parked in front of a ratherrge courtyard house. She was secretly surprised. Although she knew that Jiang Yunings family was quite well-educated, she didnt expect that they would have such a courtyard house in Beijing, where every inch ofnd was worth a fortune. Such a courtyard house was usually sold at a sky-high price, and no one would sell it.


    She sighed. Yuning, it looks like you guys have some family background back in the Qing dynasty.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. I heard from my grandfather that my ancestor was an assistant minister in the imperial court when he was in Qianlong emperor s reign. However, his family slowly declinedter. Now, there are only a few people left, and we are the only lineage.

 Chapter 1665. I Am Yunings Girlfriend, Nian XI

    Chapter 1665. I Am Yuning''s Girlfriend, Nian XI


    The corner of Nian Xis mouth twitched. With such arge house, the family still declined. The courtyard house was located in a good location.


    Jiang Yuning opened the car door for her. Before he could knock on the door, the courtyard house door creaked open and a middle-aged couple hurriedly walked out.


    Yuning The moment Shi Qingtong saw Jiang Yuning, her tears rush out of her eyes and rushed up to hug him, Youre not dead. Thats great. How could you just go out and be a spy? You didnt even tell your father and me. We all thought something happened to you.


    Yeah. Jiang Feis eyes were also red, but he could control himself a little better than Shi Qingtong. Look at what youve be. Youve suffered a lot. You said that youre good enough to stay in the researchb. What kind of undercover work were you doing? Can you handle it?


    Other than being buried when he was twelve, Jiang Yuning had never seen his parents lose control like this. He was stunned for a moment and then lowered his head, he said apologetically. Im sorry to have troubled you. I didnt tell you at that time because I was afraid that you would leak it out. After all, you know a lot of scientific researchers. I didnt know if any of them knew anyone from the TOX organization. The Tox organization is a tumor among US scientists. Even if I dont help, they will find a way to deal with me. Have you forgotten what happened when I was twelve?


    Jiang Fei and Shi Qingtongs faces were filled with guilt and sadness.


    That incident was due to their parents negligence. However, ever since then, Jiang Yuning seemed to have be a different person, sealing off the world. They didnt know what to do, but they had work to do, so they didnt have extra time to take care of him.


    However, they were shocked when they learned that their son was a spy these two days. Could their autistic son be a spy?


    Fortunately, he was already on his way back when they found out.


    They suddenly realized that they didnt know their son well enough. Perhaps they had been careless for too long.


    Yuning, we are the ones who should say sorry, Shi Qingtong said with self-reproach.


    Dont cry, Im back, Jiang Yuning was a little flustered, so he had to pull Nian Xi over. Let me introduce you. This is my wife.


    What? Shi Qingtong and Jiang Fei were dumbfounded.


    Nian Xi was also a little stunned. The first time he introduced her to her parents, he said that she was his wife. Was this a good idea? Did he ever think about how his parents felt?


    She quickly exined awkwardly, Hello, Mr and Mrs Jiang. Im Yunings girlfriend, Nian Xi.


    Oh, Oh, Oh, youre Nian Xi. Shi Qingtong immediately remembered that her son had dated a girlfriend before he went missing. They had gone to the girls house for the new year. Initially, she and Jiang Fei had thought that it was time to hold a wedding for their son that year, but they didnt expect that their son had gone missing. She thought that this girlfriend had probably left him.


    She had not expected that her son woulde back with his girlfriend after going through so much trouble.


    Jiang Fei also came to a sudden realization. Immediately after, his eyes lit up. He quickly clenched his fists and coughed softly. Nian Xi, do you still remember that Yuning gave you a flowerpot of lily


    Before he could finish speaking, he was stepped on by Shi Qingtong. She knew her hubbys character. He was thinking about that pot of flowers. Previously, it was because their son had gone missing that he did not miss the flowers. Now that he was back, he was thinking about it again.


    Nian Xi was also embarrassed. Jiang Yuning had said that the pot of flowers was personally nurtured by Jiang Fei. It was very, very valuable. However, after Jiang Yuning went missing, no one took care of it. She did not know how to raise the flowers at all. The flowers died.

 Chapter 1666. Could She Still Marry Into the Jiang Family

    Chapter 1666. Could She Still Marry Into the Jiang Family


    However, it had been so long, and Jiang Fei still mentioned this pot of flowers. It seemed that he valued it very much.


    If she said that the flowers were dead, would she still be able to marry into the Jiang family?


    I just want to know how you raised that pot of flowers. Jiang Fei forced out a smile. That pot of flowers is quite difficult to raise.


    Jiang Yuning also looked at Nian Xi curiously. He remembered that Nian Xi was so poor at raising flowers that she even killed a pot of orchid, the toughest type among housents. Although he had given the pot of flowers to Nian Xi, he had been taking care of it himself. Later, when he left, he gave some fertilizer to Nian Xi. However, he was not sure if Nian Xi could take good care of it.


    Nian Xi was speechless when she faced the gaze of the family. It was fine for Jiang Fei and his wife to look at her, but what was Jiang Yuning looking at? Didnt he know what kind of character she had.


    Its not bad. I raised it well, Nian Xi replied as if nothing had happened. I must take good care of such a rare breed.


    Jiang Fei heaved a sigh of relief. Thats good. It took me ten years to cultivate that pot of flowers. Who knew that my son would steal the flowers when I wasnt paying attention.


    After he said that, he secretly nced at Nian Xi. He had already said so much. If this future daughter-inw was smart, she would be very tactful and take the initiative to return the flowers.


    Nian Xi felt a headacheing on. She simply pretended not to understand what Jiang Fei was trying to imply. She forced herself to nod and put on a serious look. I didnt expect it to be so expensive. Uncle Jiang, dont worry. I will definitely take good care of it. Dont worry.


    Jiang Fei:


    He didnt mean that.


    Just as she was about to ask again, Shi Qingtong felt that it was too embarrassing for her husband to bite down on a pot of flowers on Nian Xis first visit. He directly interrupted her, Nian Xi, he is relieved to hear that. Its still a little cold in Beijing this month. Lets go inside first.


    Okay. Nian Xi quickly followed Shi Qingtong into the courtyard and let out a sigh of relief.


    After entering the courtyard, she was surprised to find that there were many strange flowers and nts in the courtyard. There were also pine, cypress, and ginkgo trees. There were other nts that he didnt recognize. In short, the courtyard was full of nts, leaving only stone pathway in the middle to the hall.


    Shi Qingtong exined to her, Yunings father is a biologist. He especially likes to study these flowers, nts, stones, and animals. These were all nted by him. I dont know where he got that big stone in the garden, but I heard that it was from Tang Dynasty.


    Nian Xi nodded in realization.


    After entering the hall, she realized that the living room was different from the ones of ordinary people. Other peoples living room was ced with vases and paintings while their living room was ced with animal skeletons and various nt specimens.


    There was a corridor to the right of the hall to the room. Nian Xi nced at it and was so scared that she took a few steps back and leaned against Jiang Yuning.


    It was night time now. The corridor was not lit and the cold moonlight shone in. At the end of the corridor, there seemed to be a skeleton standing there. It was eerie.


    Jiang Yuning quickly held her and looked in the direction of her gaze. He smiled. Xixi, youre not afraid of that thing, right? Whats there to be afraid of? Isnt it just a gori skeleton?


    What do you mean its just a gori skeleton.


    Nian Xis heart raced. Who wouldnt be scared to death by a skeleton in the hallway at night.


    How could you put such a precious thing in the hallway? Nian Xi stuttered.


    Thats not a real gori skeleton. I copied it,J iang Fei said proudly. Do you want to go over and take a look? Its absolutely the same as the real thing.

 Chapter 1667. Nian Xi Was About to Cry

    Chapter 1667. Nian Xi Was About to Cry


    Nian Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. Although she had seen all kinds of disgusting things when she worked at the police station, she could not stand seeing such things at home, especially because she had witnessed so many eyesores.


    Moreover, she waspletely uninterested in such things.


    She really did not know why he had such a perverted hobby. Moreover, Jiang Yuning and Shi Qingtong looked like it was normal.


    Thank you for your kindness Ill just watch from afar, Nian Xi said embarrassedly.


    Alright, dont bother with him. Shi Qingtong could understand. After all, her husband was a research maniac. Not everyone liked these strange things, In the past, when some of our rtives came over, they couldnt stand it. I didnt support cing these in the first ce. It was because every time I went out, he would bring them back without saying a word. I didnt spend much time at home, butter, the home turned this way.


    Nian Xi suddenly understood and nodded.


    Fortunately, there was still one in this family that was normal.


    Jiang Fei sneered. Do you think I dont know that you just want to put out meteorites, globes, and telescopes? I get annoyed just by looking at them.


    Nian Xi sighed in her heart. This was probably the way with a research family.


    Xixi, dont mind it. Sit. Jiang Yuning pulled her to a seat and then poured her tea.


    Shi Qingtong kept sizing up Nian Xi. Although she had thought that her daughter-inw would be He Xin, it wouldnt be a problem for her daughter-inw to be Nian Xi.


    After all, her sons autism was too severe in the past. She had set him up on a blind date before. In the end, when she brought him over, he ignored everyone. After she returned home, he didnt even know what he was doing outside.


    Therefore, she didnt dare to let him go on a blind date anymore. It was already good enough that he could have a wife. After all, she didnt expect her to get married.


    Nian Xi, Ive heard about you from Yuning three years ago, Shi Qingtong said with a gratified smile. I thought you two would break up after he went missing for three years. I didnt expect well, I can see that your love is stronger than anything else.


    Jiang Yuning looked at Nian Xi lovingly. At first, I was worried that Nian Xi would run away. Fortunately, I told her that I was going undercover in advance.


    Shi Qingtong and Jiang Feis expressions changed at the same time. Did this mean that his girlfriend knew about his undercover mission, but they, as parents, didnt?


    Could it be that his girlfriend was more important than his parents?


    Of course, Nian Xi knew what parents were thinking, so she quickly exined, Mr and Mrs Jiang, dont misunderstand. Im a police officer, and Im also involved in this operation.


    Jiang Yuning nodded vigorously. Yes, it was Nian Xi who single-handedly rushed into the leaders vi and saved me. She was really amazing.


    Single-handedly? Shi Qingtong gasped. How amazing was that?


    Nian Xi held her head and rubbed it. Did Jiang Yuning know how to speak? It seemed like she was very tough in front of her inws for the first time. She had wanted to pretend to be gentle and virtuous. Actually, it wasnt that exaggerated because there werent many people in the vi at that time.


    Oh. Shi Qingtong and Jiang Fei let out a sigh of relief at the same time.


    Jiang Yuning smiled. But Nian Xi was still very powerful. With just two punches, she knocked down two two-meter-tall strong men.


    Shi Qingtong and his wife inhaled again. This daughter-inw couldnt be provoked in the future.


    Nian Xi was about to cry. If he didnt know how to talk, then shut up. That was also because I had help from the side.


    Nian Xi quickly stood up because she didnt want to continue this topic. Auntie, may I borrow the bathroom?

 Chapter 1668. I Really Liked Being Bullied by Her

    Chapter 1668. I Really Liked Being Bullied by Her


    Just follow the gori skeleton and turn right, Shi Qingtong said quickly.


    Nian Xi:


    Alright, she really didnt want to go that way.


    Jiang Yuning saw that she was silent, so he quickly said, Xixi, Ill go with you.


    No need. You can chat with your parents for a while, Nian Xi waved her hand.


    After all, Jiang Yuning just returned home. If he had to follow her even when she went to the bathroom, her parents might think that she had trained Jiang Yuning too well.


    However, when she walked along the corridor, her mood was really not good.


    There were fossil photos of ancient creatures and pictures of insects on the walls of the corridor. It was really speechless.


    Fortunately, she was a person who frequented the morgue.


    Shi Qingtong watched Nian Xis back disappear at the end of the corridor, then turned around and said to his son worriedly, Yuning, your girlfriend looks quite powerful.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. She is very powerful.


    Shi Qingtong smiled bitterly. Then can you manage her?


    It was Jiang Yunings first time bringing his girlfriend home, so he didnt quite understand his parents thoughts. He blinked and said innocently, Usually, she manages me.


    Arent your questions all nonsense? Jiang Fei rolled her eyes at her wife. When has your son ever been able to manage someone?


    Shi Qingtong sighed. I was afraid that she would bully Yuning.


    Jiang Yuning was unhappy when he heard his mother say that. I really like being bullied by her.


    He liked the way Nian Xi bullied him the most.


    Shi Qingtong choked. So she bullies you a lot?


    How can she bully me? We havent seen each other for three years.Jiang Yuning was dissatisfied with his mothers words, Nian Xi is very protective of me. No one can bully me when Im with her. But I dont think its good. As a man, sometimes you have to protect your woman.


    Shi Qingtong was gratified. She felt that his son had grown up. Well, as long as she treats you well, thats enough.


    Jiang Yuning nodded vigorously. She treats me better than you do.


    Shi Qingtong and Jiang Fei didnt know what to say at all.


    When Nian Xi came out of the bathroom and saw that the family was very silent, she was a little puzzled. Shi Qingtong stood up and said, You havent had dinner yet, right? Ill get you something to eat.


    Theres no need to go through so much trouble. Nian Xi was a little embarrassed.


    No, no, no. Its your first time here. I should have made more food, but its toote now, and I didnt know you woulde, Shi Qingtong said embarrassedly.


    Seeing this, Nian Xi didnt refuse and let Shi Qingtong finish cooking the noodles.


    When the noodles were served, Nian Xi found that they were really terrible. Jiang Yuning, who was sitting next to her, ate without changing his expression, as if he had already gotten used to it.


    Fortunately, Shi Qingtong knew her own limits. Im sorry. Weve usually focused on research, so were really not good at cooking.


    Its okay, its okay. Your food is especially delicious. Nian Xi quickly buried her head in the noodles and scooped up thest strand.


    At nine oclock, Shi Qingtong saw that they were very tired, so she didnt drag them to chat. Go back to your room and rest early. Yuning, take Nian Xi to the guest room.


    No need. Jiang Yuning pulled Nian Xi up. You can sleep in my room. Xixi, lets go back to our room to sleep.


    Jiang Fei and Shi Qingtong were stunned. Nian Xi was dumbfounded, and her face instantly turned red.

 Chapter 1669. If I Was Too Powerful, They Would Think that I Would Bully You

    Chapter 1669. If I Was Too Powerful, They Would Think that I Would Bully You


    Although she was usually very bold and arrogant when she was with him, that was also because she had him on her side.


    Now that he was holding her hand and saying that he was going to sleep with her in front of so many people, what would his parents think?


    Would they simply think that they were just tucking in and sleeping?


    Nian Xi wanted to cry.


    However, she could only bite the bullet and say, Ill just sleep in the guest room.


    It was really not for someone as conservative and reserved as her to sleep in the mans bedroom on her first visit to his house.


    Why? Jiang Yuning did not understand the twists and turns. Didnt we always sleep in the same room?


    Nian Xi squeezed his hand hard.


    Shut up.


    Shi Qingtong, who had lived half her life, could understand the things with young people nowadays. She was shocked because her son had always been conservative. She really did not expect him to do such a thing before they got married.


    She also saw Nian Xis embarrassment and quickly hid the shock on her face. She pretended to smile indifferently. Youre right. Youre going to get married one day. Go, go. Ill bring you a new towel and a new toothbrushter.


    No need. You can just use mine, Jiang Yuning directly refused.


    Shi Qingtong was shocked. After all, she knew how mysophobic her son was.


    Nian Xi rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuning. I need a toothbrush, okay? who shares a toothbrush with you?


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips. He didnt think it mattered.


    Anyway, they were kissing. Everyones saliva was the same thing.


    Jiang Yunings room was on the second floor. There were some things for physics research and astronomy research on the upper floor. Nian Xi finally understood that this house was just a ce for his family to put some things for research.


    After entering Jiang Yunings bedroom, Nian Xi was quite satisfied. The room was quite simple and chinese-style. There were many books and trophies.


    When she was studying the trophies in the bookcase, Jiang Yuning found an old set of pajamas. Xixi, go take a shower. This is my t-shirt. You can use it as pajamas.


    Nian Xi took it, put her hands on her hips, and said snappily, Next time your parents ask me some questions in front of your parents, can you stop interrupting and not describe me as very powerful?


    Jiang Yuning felt a little wronged by her words. I didnt say anything wrong, and thats not a bad thing. Those are all your strengths.


    Nian Xi sighed. Now parents dont like their daughter-inw to be too powerful.


    Why?Jiang Yuning looked at her nkly.


    Because if shes too powerful, theyll think that Im going to bully you, Nian Xi exined seriously. Sons are the treasures in mothers heart.


    I dont think so. Jiang Yuning shook his head, Xixi, dont let your imagination run wild. Since weve decided to be together, well be together for the rest of our lives. My parents will find out about your personality sooner orter. Theres no need to hide it. If they dont like you, thats fine. If you donte to see them in the future, Ill just be with you.


    Nian Xi didnt know whether tough or cry. Getting married isnt that simple, okay? If your parents get old and you are the only child, theyll have to live with us sooner orter. If they dont like me, how can we continue to get along?


    Jiang Yuning frowned. He had never thought of such a thing before. Could this be the mother-inw and daughter-inw issue that was often shown on TV? Xixi, youre so beautiful, kind-hearted, and perfect. If my parents dont like you, its definitely their problem. Youd better do whatever you want.

 Chapter 1670. Xixi Fell Asleep

    Chapter 1670. Xixi Fell Asleep


    Nian Xi had a headache. Was there no point in saying so much?


    Jiang Yuning thought about it and said, I think my parents like you. Otherwise, they wouldnt have said that we were going to get married sooner orter. They didnt expect me to get a wife.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She remembered that he didnt like to talk to people. That was true. Anyway, you shouldnt have let me sleep in your bedroom tonight. Its better if I sleep in the guest room. It makes me look quite wild.


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head in distress. When did you stop being wild?


    Nian Xi red at him fiercely. He knew that she was wild, but he didnt need to say it out loud. Im only wild in front of you. I cant be wild in front of my mother-inw.


    Jiang Yuning grinned. So you already think of my mother as your mother-inw.


    Nian Xi turned around and walked into the bathroom. Halfway through, she suddenly remembered. Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. That pot of flowers that your father gave me was actually raised to death by me.


    You lied to my father. Jiang Yuning was stunned.


    Can I not lie? Nian XI sighed. Look at your fathers face. If I said that the pot of flowers was dead, he would definitely hold a great grudge against me. He might even kick me out directly.


    He wouldnt dare. Jiang Yuning was furious, and he meant it.


    Nian Xi was gratified and touched. Who told you to give me a flower like that? Dont tell him that the flower is dead. You have to hide it from him.


    Jiang Yuning stroked her hair. Dont worry. If the flower is dead, so be it. My father has a simr flower in his backyard. If you like it, Ill dig it for you.


    Nian Xis mouth twitched. She raised her hand and really wanted to p him to death. Did he not understand humannguage? I beg you, please dont give them to me. You dont care about your dads feelings. I care. Besides, I dont have the mood to raise expensive flowers, okay? If you want to give them to me, then give me a cactus. Really, I beg you, dont give me any more flowers that you want me to raise.


    After she said that, she went straight to the bathroom.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her back and muttered in his heart that she wanted a cactus. Then, he would go and give her the pot of rose balls that his father had transnted from Mexico.


    After noting back for a long time, Jiang Yuning sorted out some of the research materials in the room. About half an hourter, he saw Nian Xiing out of the bathroom. She was wearing his old t-shirt. His clothes were very loose on her, which made her body petite. However, the clothes covered her thighs, and her dried ck hair drapedzily over her shoulders. She was simply charming.


    Jiang Yuning instantly felt that the air was thin, so he quickly threw away the documents and went over. Xixi


    Hurry up and take a shower. Youve been sitting on the ne for so long. Its so dirty. Nian Xi directlyid on his bed and flipped over the nket to sleep.


    Jiang Yuning gloomily looked at her back for a while before he had no choice but to take a shower. When he came out of the shower, he quickly rubbed against Nian Xi and realized that she had already fallen asleep.


    He sighed. He didnt want to go to bed so early.


    But Xixi had fallen asleep. Forget it, I wont disturb her anymore.


    It had been a long time since Nian Xi had slept sofortably. It was probably Jiang Yunings bed. It was spacious, clean, and smelled like him.


    When she woke up, the sky was already bright. She quickly checked the time. Fortunately, it was 7:40. She could not sleep in on her first visit to her future mother-inws house.


    However, as soon as she woke up, her waist was entangled by someone.

 Chapter 1671. How Did a Puppy that Used to be So Innocent Become Like This

    Chapter 1671. How Did a Puppy that Used to be So Innocent Be Like This


    What? Nian Xi turned her head and saw Jiang Yuning squinting his sleepy eyes. His bangs were slightly messy and covered his delicate forehead. His entire face was indescribably cute, and it made her heart soften.


    Sleep more. Jiang Yuning clung to her like a puppy and rubbed the tip of his nose against her clothes. His T-shirt was filled with the familiar fragrance that she was familiar with throughout the night.


    Im not sleeping anymore. Nian Xi shook her head decisively and pulled herself away from the beauty. Its my first day at your house, and I slept untilte in the morning. What do your parents think? Besides, they might be preparing breakfast for us.


    I dont care. Jiang Yunings mind could not hear anything at the moment. He just felt regretful aboutst night.


    His eyes were no longer blurry. They were big and bright. There was still a hint of expectation in them, and his face was slightly red.


    Nian Xi was speechless. Even if you dont care, I care.


    But looking at him


    She smiled. You dont want to


    Before she could finish, Jiang Yuning lowered his head in embarrassment, but a sound of hmm came out from his mouth like a mosquito hummed. Its been a long time.


    Nian Xi was tickled by his cuteness. It was rare for him to take the initiative, but he had to wait until nine oclock to go out. It was not good.


    After hesitating for a long time, she finally picked up his face and kissed it helplessly.


    Jiang Yuning was overjoyed. Just when he thought she was going to take another step forward, Nian Xi said earnestly, It hasnt been a long time. Didnt we do it when we met? Youve endured it for three years, so why are you in such a hurry? Besides, didnt you not care about this thing in the past?


    Jiang Yuning was dumbfounded. It was as if the steak in his mouth had suddenly flown away. I I didnt


    Yes, you didnt. After saying that, Nian Xi sighed and let go of him. She got off the bed to change.


    Xixi Jiang Yuning followed her gloomily. Yes, but after you opened that door and let me see the vast world, Ive already spread my wings.


    Nian Xi stumbled and almost knocked into the locker room door.


    She put her hands on her hips helplessly. Seriously, what happened to a puppy that used to be so innocent? Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a stato voiceing from the living room outside.


    As expected, not only did someone in the Jiang family wake up, it seemed like a guest had arrived.


    However, the man in front of her did not seem to be aware of it. She could only remind him, It seems that there are guests at your house.


    Oh, but its none of my business.


    He was no longer interested in anything or anyone other than Nian Xi in front of him.


    Nian Xi rubbed the space between her eyebrows. It should be some of your rtives. After all, youve been missing for so long. Its quite normal for your rtives and friends toe and see you when they know that youre back. Didnt your mother sayst night that your aunts are quite concerned about you?


    Oh, really? I didnt really listen. Jiang Yuning looked at her nkly.


    Nian Xi couldnt take it anymore. How did you be a spy these past few years? y dumb?


    Cheer up, Jiang Yuning said honestly. Theres nothing I can do about that. In order toe back earlier, Im so tired every day. Ive never been so tired. I still like my old life.

 Chapter 1672. Nian Xi Stared at Him with a Dangerous Gaze

    Chapter 1672. Nian Xi Stared at Him with a Dangerous Gaze


    Nian Xi wanted to cry. It turned out that one could be a good undercover agent if one worked hard.


    Why had she worked hard every day at the police station for so many years in the past?


    Your previous life was unhealthy, Nian Xi sighed softly.


    Dont you like it? Jiang Yuning instantly became nervous.


    Nian Xi was at a loss for words. After thinking, she realized that if he had been talkative and sociable, would she still know him? The person she knew and liked was the simple and ignorant Jiang Yuning. It didnt mean that she wouldnt like him after he changed, she just had to get used to it.


    No, Im changing. You should hurry up and change too. Just as Nian Xi entered the changing room and was about to close the door, Jiang Yuning squeezed in with an embarrassed face.


    What are you doing?She stared at him warily.


    Didnt you say that I should change quickly? Jiang Yuning said shyly, Its faster if we change together.


    Nian Xi:


    Wouldnt there be a problem if they change together?


    Where was her old puppy? He had really changed.


    Nian Xi looked at him with a dangerous gaze.


    Jiang Yuning felt the increasing danger and quickly took off his pajamas.


    Nian Xi:


    Did he do it on purpose or did he not understand humannguage anymore?


    When they went downstairs, it was already half past eight.


    Nian Xi looked at the time and wanted to cry. She had originally decided to go downstairs at eight, but he had forcefully dyed her.


    She red at the man beside her. Jiang Yuning also felt resentful. The feeling of not fulfilling his desire was really heart-wrenching.


    What was even more awkward was that there were five or six rtives of the Jiang family sitting downstairs.


    Hearing the sound of footstepsing from upstairs, the people downstairs all looked at them. Nian Xis legs felt a little weak and she felt a lot of pressure. After all, even though she had experience with the rtionship between the mans rtives and Feng Jichuan in the past, they had grown up together, and the two families were quite familiar with each other.


    Moreover, now that the guests had arrived, she hade downstairste. What other people would think? They might think that the two young people were intimate upstairs. Nian Xi was quite guilty.


    Come, let me introduce you. Shi Qingtong stood up and introduced with a smile. This is Yunings girlfriend, Xixi. This is Yunings aunts and uncles. This is his cousin, Xuanyuan Lang.


    She finally pointed at the young man standing at the end. Not to mention, his facial features were quite simr to Jiang Yunings. They were both extremely good-looking men, but Xuanyuan Lang looked more mature and steady. His appearance was not as arrogant as those who had been in the business world for a long time. On the other hand, he seemed reserved. And Jiang Yuning was the gentle and refined type of researcher.


    However, she knew Xuanyuan Lang. He was the type who was on par with her brother in the investment industry. Moreover, Jiang Yuning had put the money in hispany to earn a lot of money. By the contrary, she thought about her own brother


    This was someone elses older brother. He was not even a sibling but merely a cousin. Nian Junlei didnt invest her money with good judgment, but he always asked her to buy a house from him for investment. As a result, she bought a lot of houses while the house price did not go up much after that.


    Nian Xi sighed in her heart. She put away her bitter past and went over to greet his rtives. After greeting them all the way over, she said apologetically, Ive been jetgged too much these past few days. I identally overslept. Im so sorry.


    Its okay, its okay. His aunt looked at her and waved her hand. You guys must be tired aftering back from such a long distance. Hurry up and eat your breakfast.

 Chapter 1673. Its Not Easy to be Your Brothers Sister

    Chapter 1673. It''s Not Easy to be Your Brother''s Sister


    Shi Qingtong bought tofu pudding, pancakes, sausage dumplings, pork buns, and fried noodles from a nearby grocery store for breakfast. There were a lot of different kinds.


    Nian Xi probably hadnt eaten Chinese breakfast for a long time and thought it was quite delicious.


    After breakfast, she returned to the living room. Nian Xi happened to hear Xuanyuan Lang on the phone, and his tone was indifferent. Dont believe thepanys one-sided information. That information has been beautified Dont you think about why Shengting hasnt made a move yet? Theyre also waiting


    Nian Xi looked at him in surprise until her hand was pinched. She turned her head and saw Jiang Yuning whispering unhappily, Why do you keep looking at other men? Dont look at them.


    His voice was soft, but her rtives all heard it. They allughed, and his uncle said, Cant you see that our Yuning is quite overbearing?


    Nian Xi was embarrassed, so she had to exin to everyone. Because I heard Yunings cousin talking about Shengting on the phone just now


    Oh, do you know Shengting? Xuanyuan Lang heard her andughed, Oh, yourst name is also Nian? Are You Nian Juntings


    Im his sister, Nian XI said awkwardly, Is that okay? I feel like you guys arepetitors now.


    Xuanyuan Lang was surprised for a while. He knew Nian Juntings identity very well, So the chairwoman of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation is your mother?


    Nian Xi nodded, feeling a little strange. Didnt Jiang Yuning tell his parents anything? But thinking about his personality, she realized that he probably only told them that she was a woman.


    I think I heard uncle Han mention it before, Shi Qingtong said with a smile. Nian Xis family seems to be famous in Xia City.


    Not just famous, Xuanyuan Lang teased. Yuning, we all thought that you wouldnt be able to find a wife. We didnt expect you to find a rich wife in the end.


    Im not rich. Im a police officer, Nian Xi said seriously.


    Xuanyuan Lang nodded with a faint smile. Thats true. Im sure its not easy being your Brothers sister.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed, but she became curious. Arent you my brotherspetitors? Why do I feel like youre familiar with him?


    Thats for sure. Weve been fighting since university, all the way from abroad to home. Thats the type of enemy. I didnt expect that wed be rtives in the end. Xuanyuan Lang also found it funny.


    You two are ssmates?Nian Xi was surprised.


    Yes, back then, I was sent to the United States to study. I was his senior. Your brother is a person Hes arrogant. Hes especially arrogant. If you talk to him a little more, youll want to beat him up. Xuanyuan Lang sighed softly, In order to obtain the schools investment program for new students, the two of us became sworn enemies.


    Oh, I know how you feel. Nian Xi suddenly understood. Her brother had always been so annoying since he was young, so it was not easy for him to have two friends, Xiao Si and Feng Jichuan.


    After saying that, Xuanyuan Lang saw that his rtives all looked serious. He quickly said, Dont think too much. Nian Junting is a little crazy, but I admire him. I admire him more because he doesnt do anything unscrupulous like others in the investment field. Hes crazy because he has the right to be crazy. I think hes the only one in the entire industry whos qualified to be mypetitor.


    It seems like its fate, his uncle smiled and sighed.


    Nian XI nodded in agreement.

 Chapter 1674. I Am the Cute Little Sangsang

    Chapter 1674. I Am the Cute Little Sangsang


    Um can I take a photo with you? Nian XI said with a smile, I want to piss off my brother.


    Xuanyuan Lang nodded.


    Jiang Yuning was not very happy. His face was sour and his eyes were sad. Xixi did not want to take a photo with him, but she wanted to take a photo with another man.


    After taking the photo, Xuanyuan Lang quickly moved away from because he could already feel the resentment from Jiang Yuning.


    After taking the photo, Nian Xi immediately posted it on her Wechat moments, with the following text: Im taking a photo with Chinas Warren Buffett, Xuanyuan Lang. Its said that his investment is better than my brohters..


    After posting it, Jiang Yuning immediately replied: Im jealous.


    Nian Xi, who was at the side, turned her head speechlessly. Seeing that he was holding his phone, she felt his jealous gaze. After a while, he said, Xixi, you havent even posted my photo in your Wechat moments.


    Nian Xi found it funny. Was there a need to be jealous. She rarely sent him photos because her wechat moments wereplicated now. It wasnt like before when everyone just sent out their feelings. Now, it was all kinds of meaningless advertisements. Today, she just wanted her brother to see it. If he didnt cherish her sister, she would have a new investment backing.


    I didnt post it because I was afraid that others would be jealous and hate me, Nian Xi said seriously in a low voice, After all, youre so handsome, perfect, and cute. Youre also talented, and youre a noble scientist. Do you know how many people are already jealous of me? In addition, Im already good-looking, capable, and from a rich family. Can you give those unhappy femalerades a chance to live?


    Jiang Yuning was stunned by her words, and her words seemed to make sense.


    Also, do you know how many pretentious girls there are now? Its better to have open enemy than false friends. So you have to keep a low profile. Nian Xi analyzed seriously with him.


    Jiang Yuning nodded, not fully understanding. So youre taking a photo with my cousin and saying that hes Chinese Warren Buffett, but you are keeping a low profile?


    Nian Xi was speechless


    How did this guy react so quickly? It wasnt easy to fool him anymore.


    Im mainly showing it to my brother, Nian Xi quickly took out her phone and looked at her Wechat. By then, many people had already replied.


    Nian Juntingmented, Oh, him? Chinese Warren Buffett? Haha, Do You Think Im Dead? Nian Xi, youve never been sober in your life. Its time for you to wake up..


    Luo Sang said, Wow, hes so handsome. I like him so much. Why do I like him so much?.


    Nian Junting replied to Luo Sang, Brat, are you ying with your mothers phone again? Ill beat you to death when Ie back..


    Xiao Si said, How do you know him? Hes really good. Hespeting with us for a project recently. Why dont you use your beauty to lure him away?.


    Yan Su replied to Luo Sang: Little Apple, dont y with your mothers phone next time, naughty..


    Luo Sang replied to Yan Su: What? I am the cute little Sangsang..


    Yan Su replied to Luo Sang:


    Can I add your cousin on Wechat? Nian Xi asked Jiang Yuning, I can invest in any good projects in the future.


    No, Jiang Yuning shook his head decisively. Why do you still want to invest? My money is yours anyway, and he helps me run my money. Theres no need for you to keep in touch.


    No, Jiang Yuning shrunk his neck. Youre so manly. Im afraid my cousin will fall in love with you.


    Nian Xi:


    She really wanted to p him to death.

 Chapter 1675. He Liked Her More than Astronomy

    Chapter 1675. He Liked Her More than Astronomy


    The corner of Xuanyuan Langs mouth twitched.


    It was not easy for such a person to find a girlfriend.


    In order to prevent his cousin from bing single again, he quickly said to Shi Qingtong, Aunty, lets hold the wedding banquet as soon as possible. I just cant wait to attend cousins wedding banquet. Im afraid that if we dy too long, we wont be able to see that day.


    Shi Qingtong was stunned. His aunt rolled her eyes at Xuanyuan Lang. Brat, how can you talk like that?


    Xuanyuan Lang smiled bitterly and reminded the elders in a low voice, Yuning is too straightforward. Ordinary women really cant handle it.


    Shi Qingtong immediately understood. Her son was indeed like that. She quickly said to Nian Xi, Xixi, lets make an appointment for our parents to meet. Yunings father and I will go to Xia City to meet your parents and discuss the wedding.


    Nian Xu was slightly startled. She didnt expect Shi Qingtong to suddenly be so enthusiastic. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Yuning suddenly stood up. Okay, Ill go upstairs and pack my luggage now. Lets go to Xia city together.


    Shi Qingtong:


    She said to make an appointment, but she didnt say that it was now or today. Didnt he see so many rtives sitting here?


    Nian Xi was also stunned. She quickly pulled him back. I still have to go down to the central bureau to meet Captain Cheng.


    Oh, then lets buy the ne tickets for this afternoon, Jiang Yuning said without thinking.


    Nian Xi smiled bitterly. Is there a need to be in such a hurry? My parents dont even know that youre back yet. How about this? Its rare for you toe back. Stay in Beijing with your parents for a while. Ill go back to Xia City Tomorrow and exin things to my parents first. Besides, I still have some matters to attend to at the bureau.


    Jiang Yuning became anxious when he heard that. Are you going back tomorrow?


    He couldnt bear to see her leave. If she left, he would feel bored staying here. Otherwise, he might as well follow her.


    I feel that you havent been back for so long. You must have a lot of scientific research issues to discuss with your parents, especially your mother. Dont you both study astronomy? Nian Xi quickly said.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. That was true, but he liked her more than astronomy.


    Shi Qingtong really wanted to spend more time with her son. Although she envied Nian Xi for being close to him, she also knew that as a mother, she really didnt do much, so her son didnt stick to him. Yuning, I have recently gained a new understanding of the nines. Lets find some time to talk?


    Jiang Yuning hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding his head.


    Jiang Fei also smiled and said, Son, father has also recently made a breakthrough in the evolution of the living species. Lets chat too


    Jiang Yuning looked at him with disdain and decisively shook his head. Not interested.


    Jiang Fei:


    Why dont you give me that pot of rose balls? Ill reluctantly chat with you, Jiang Yuning thought for a while and suddenly said.


    Jiang Fei took a deep breath. Youre not talking about the pot in Mexico, are you?


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    Jiang Fei held his forehead and said after a while, I think you should go back to Xia city with Nian Xi. Its not easy for the two of you to meet again and get together again. You should be very reluctant to part with each other.


    Shi Qingtong red at him. Is your son less important than a pot of cactus?


    Nian Xi was speechless. What the hell was that pot of rose ball? Why was Father Jiang so reluctant to part with it? Speaking of that, could Jiang Yuning give it to her again?


    In the afternoon, Nian Xi went straight to the central bureau.


    In Captain Chengs office, Nian Xi also met with several high-level Interpol officers. Feng Jichuan and Xu Gang were also there.


    Nian Xi, Jichuan told me about your performance this time, Cheng Feng said with a smile. Its your first time carrying out such a mission. I cant say its good, but its considered a pass.

    Nian Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Back then, when she had barged into the vi ahead of time, she had been quite afraid of being criticized by her superiors.


    But Cheng Feng paused, and his gaze gradually became serious, You cant say that passing is enough to make you an excellent Interpol officer. This time, Ive agreed to let you go because of the special circumstance. After all, youre Jiang Yunings girlfriend. If you want to officially join us, youll have to go through manyyers of selection. If youre willing, I can give you a registration form but you have to think carefully. After you be an Interpol officer, youll be handling cases abroad and will often travel abroad youll spend less time with your family


    Nian Xi thought for a while and shook her head. I think I should go back to Xia City. I think that as long as Im a policeman, no matter where you are, youre contributing to the people.


    Cheng Feng was not surprised and nodded. Youve done well in Xia City in the past two years. Work hard. Youre still so young and have a bright future.


    Nian Xi smiled and thanked him.


    When Nian Xi came down from upstairs, Jiang Yuning drove the car over and looked at her with bright eyes. Youve been praised?


    Whats there to praise? Youre the biggest contributor to this mission, Okay? Nian Xi put on her seatbelt and told him the truth, Yuning, Ive decided to return to Xia City and be a police officer. Although Interpol is very high-ss, theyre often not at home. I realize that I want to spend more time with you and my family now.


    Jiang Yuning nodded vigorously and heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, he did not want her to be an Interpol officer and did not want him to be too far away from him. Xixi, Ill apany you back to Xia City Tomorrow.


    Nian Xi could not help but say, Didnt I ask you to spend more time with your parents this morning?


    Jiang Yuning frowned silently. It was not that he did not care about his parents. It was just that even in the past, he and his parents would only see each other a few times a year. Everyone was used to this method.


    Nian Xi was serious, Yuning, I know that your family is actually engaged in scientific research. Your whole focus is on research and you neglect your family. But you cant say that your parents dont care about you. I can see that you and your parents dont have much inmon apart from doing research. But at their age, all they care about ispanionship. You can apany your father to hoe the nts and apany your mother to chat. I believe they will be very happy.


    Also, you left without saying a word for three years, making them worried. Even if its to go undercover, youre letting them down. In short, its not right for parents to worry about their children.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned by her words. After a while, he scratched the back of his head. Xixi, havent you ever made your parents worry?


    Nian Xi felt guilty. Because Im a police officer, my parents are always scared, so Ive let them down. Especially in the past three years, Ive been spending too little time with them.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her silently. He had never thought of such a thing before. His elders might have said it before, but he had never been interested in listening to others talk. In fact, Nian Xi was not just like his girlfriend, she was also like an elder at times, Xixi, youre like my grandmother


    Nian XI:


    How was she like his grandmother? Could they still have a good chat.


    Okay, you can shut up now. Nian Xi raised her hand. Its still early. Ill apany you to the mall and buy some gifts for your parents.


    Okay, buy some for your parents too. Jiang Yuning smiled and showed rows of white teeth. Didnt you say just now that youve let your parents down? Your parents are my parents. Its the same. You have to buy two sets of things.

 Chapter 1677. The Treasure of the Jiang Family

    Chapter 1677. The Treasure of the Jiang Family


    Nian Xi felt warmth in her heart, so she did not argue with him.


    The two of them strolled until six oclock in the afternoon before returning. Nian Xi picked two sets of new clothes for Jiang Yunings parents.


    After returning to the courtyard house, Shi Qingtong held the clothes in his hands and they were trembling. Her eyes were red. Hubby, our son also knows to buy me gifts. Look, these clothes are so beautiful. Ever since he was twelve years old, he hasnt given me any gifts.


    Jiang Fei also nodded. Men were not as sentimental as women, but he was also filled with emotions. My son has grown up. Look at how beautiful my shirt is. I am wearing this on his wedding day. Ill definitely take good care of it.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed. It was not easy for this couple, but it was also quite heartbreaking. Uncle and auntie, you dont have to be like this. Ill often supervise Yuning to give you gifts. Like those Fathers Day and Mothers Day gifts, theyre all necessary.


    Nian Xi, you are such a sensible child. Shi Qingtong was really satisfied with her now.


    Its nothing. Its only right to be filial to your children. Nian Xi smiled faintly.


    After dinner, Jiang Yuning went to take a shower. Nian Xi went downstairs to get water. Just as she turned around, Shi Qingtong walked over with a box in his hands. Nian Xi, Can I have a minute with you.


    Nian Xi looked at the box in her hand. It looked low-key and luxurious. Was he going to give her some heirloom of the Jiang Family?


    Nian Xi suddenly became nervous. The heirloom he gave to luosang was a bracelet, which was very valuable for the first match. Jiang Yunings family was an official in the Qing dynasty. Could it be that they also had heirlooms like jade bracelets?


    If it was too expensive, should she ept it or not.


    Nian Xi, I just want to say thank you, Shi Qingtong said with mixed feelings, To be honest, if Im ever a responsible and good mother, Yuning wont get autism. He wont be unable to contact me when he was 12 years old and let her be buried down there for so long. In the past, he basically wouldnt talk to us about anything other than research, let alone others. It was you who made him change slowly. I can feel that no matter how slowly his illness improved, his personality also started to be more cheerful. I really dont know how to thank you.


    Nian Xi quickly shook her head, Auntie, dont say that. Im his girlfriend, so this is what I should do. In fact, I couldnt ept Yunings personality at first, but after we got to know each other, I felt that because of this, he was simpler than many people. He was like a nk sheet of paper, making me feel safe. In fact, Yuning alsocked love and care. I hope that in the future, you wont always think about research and can asionally care about him more.


    Youre right. Shi Qingtong was deeply moved. By the way, this is your first time at aunties house. I dont know what to give you. Anyway, since youre getting married, Auntie will give you this thing. This is the most precious thing in our family.


    Auntie, you dont have to do this, Nian Xi rejected. If the thing was too valuable, she would be too embarrassed to ept it.


    Of course, if you want to be my daughter-inw, Shi Qingtong said in a tone that could not be rejected.


    Thank you, auntie. Nian Xi squeezed out a helpless smile. After holding it, she realized that it was quite heavy. She opened the box and was stunned. Auntie, why is it a Stone


    She stuttered as she asked. She had thought that it was a big piece of jade.

 Chapter 1678. You understand

    Chapter 1678. You understand


    So she had to bring such a heavy rock back from so far.


    This is not an ordinary rock. Shi Qingtong immediately adjusted her old ck-rimmed sses and said seriously, This is a meteorite, a Martian meteorite. It contains aplete crystal structure of basalt and all kinds of rare minerals.


    Oh, oh, oh. Nian Xi waspletely dumbfounded, so what was the point of giving her a Martian meteorite? She did not know how to study it, and what the hell was a basalt, but seeing Shi Qingtongs solemn look, she had to pretend to be shocked. Since its so valuable, how aboutauntie, you keep it yourself.


    No, no, no, auntie has decided to give it to you. Take it well. Its very precious, Shi Qingtong exined seriously.


    Nian Xis mouth twitched as she carried a meteorite upstairs. Jiang Yunings eyes lit up when he saw it. My mom gave you the Martian meteorite?


    Nian Xi nodded. Just as she was about to ask him to return the meteorite, Jiang Yuning became happy. I didnt expect her to give you this, its her favorite meteorite. Its good stuff.


    Nian Xi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. This was good stuff for you guys, but it was a useless hot potato to her. This family was weird.


    Keep it. Since its from her, Jiang Yuning blinked and said, Someone offered 15 million in the past, but my mother refused to sell it.


    Nian Xis legs went soft, so she was holding 15 million in her hands. Just a stone would cost that much.


    This is a Martian meteorite, Jiang Yuning said matter-of-factly. Martian meteorites are the most expensive of all meteorites. The most expensive one was once sold for 100,000 yuan per gram. This meteorite in your hands is several catties.


    Nian Xi did not say anything. She now felt that this gift was very expensive.


    Xixi, stop looking at it. Lets go to sleep. Jiang Yuning suddenly took the box away with a blush and wrapped his arms around her waist.


    Nian Xi recovered from her shock and immediately understood. However, she pretended to know the answer and asked, Okay, the kind of pure sleeping in the quilt.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned and shook his head hard. I dont want it.


    What do you not want? Nian Xi said with a faint smile.


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head even harder as if his head was itchy, but his breathing became rapid. You understand.


    I dont know, Nian Xi said innocently.


    You know, Jiang Yuning insisted. What you used to be best at.


    Nian Xiughed. Im best at catching bad guys.


    Jiang Yuning thought about it and smiled shyly. You need handcuffs to catch bad guys. You used to love to use them on me.


    After he said that, he reached out his hand with a look of anticipation. Quick, cuff me to the bedside table. Do whatever you want.


    Nian Xi coughed violently. This guy had turned bad too. I cant, I dont have it with me now.


    Then use the rope. Jiang Yuning rolled his eyes.


    Nian Xi smiled and did not say anything until Jiang Yuning could not take it anymore. He went up and kissed her lips lightly. Xixi


    He was really anxious.


    Be Good, you can tie me up this time, Nian Xi suggested.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned for a moment. When he imagined the scene, his nose suddenly bled. He really couldnt take it anymore.


    The next morning, when Nian Xi reached for the dumplings during breakfast, Shi Qingtong suddenly said, Nian Xi, why are there traces of being tied up on your hands?


    Jiang Yuning choked on the congee and coughed. He quickly picked up the bowl to cover his face that was about to bleed.

 Chapter 1679. Youre Jealous of Your Mother for Bringing Me to WatChapter the Avengers

    Chapter 1679. You''re Jealous of Your Mother for Bringing Me to WatChapter the Avengers


    Nian Xi calmly looked at the red mark on her hand and answered without a blush, I was tied up when I went to Samoa. It wasnt obvious at first, but the marks have started to show over the past few days.


    Shi Qingtong nodded. There were some scars that would not show up at first, but this made her admire Nian Xi even more. She was so brave at such a young age, and it could be seen that she risked her life to save her son, Good child, its been hard on you. Come, eat more dumplings.


    Xie Aunty, this is what I should do, Nian Xi answered with a smile.


    Jiang Yuning looked up at Nian Xi in confusion. He thought to himself, how did Nian Xi do it so well? She did not even blink when she lied. She was clearly the one whopelled him to tie up the marksst night, but the process was very itchy and beautiful, heughed foolishly alone.


    After breakfast, Jiang Yuning drove Nian Xi to the airport.


    After arriving at the airport, he held her little hand reluctantly. Xixi, Ille find you soon.


    Okay. Nian Xi reached out and hugged him,


    Nian Xi put her bag on her back. Bye bye.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. He regretted it. It was just a public ce. It was nothing. Why did he have to say it out loud? Xixi, actually, a public ce is pretty good


    Nian Xi did not know whether tough or cry. She found that he was bing more and more unprincipled recently. Im getting on the ne. Bye-bye.


    Jiang Yuning waved his hand. After seeing Nian Xi leave, he raised his head to look at the sky outside Beijing. It was so boring.


    At one oclock in the afternoon, when the ne arrived at Xia City Airport, he brought his luggage out. The first person he saw was Nian Junting, and next to him was a little boy. The boy was wearing Captain Americas helmet and clothes, and he was holding a shield and a sword in his hand. He was trying hard to entangle Nian Junting, Nian Junting looked impatient.


    As Nian Xi approached him, she heard Nian Junting say with disdain, Donte near me. Youre so ugly. I really dont know why youre wearing those things.


    Xiao Pingguo was not convinced. You dont understand. Im Captain America now. Im going to destroy you on behalf of the moon.


    Nian Junting sneered, Youre spoiled by your mother. What do you call your behavior? You worship foreign countries. Its one thing for you to imitate other things, but you have to imitate America. I hate America the most. Next time, I wont allow your mother to take you to watch the Avengers. Just stay at home and watch Wolf Warrior and Long March.


    Xiao Pingguo raised her delicate chin arrogantly and said, Haha, arent you just jealous that your mother took me to watch the Avengers? She didnt take you.


    Childish, Nian Junting said disdainfully, I wont go to this kind of movie even if you beg me. Its a waste of money and time.


    Papa, you cant do this. Thats why I dont want to go to the cinema with you.


    Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, Nian Xi quickly went up to greet them. Hi, Xiao Pingguo, you are looking very handsome today.


    Haha, suntie, Youre back. Wheres my present? You said you bought me a transformer mask. Xiao Pingguo quickly ran up and hugged her thigh.

 Chapter 1680. Your Uncle Is Not an Ordinary Person

    Chapter 1680. Your Uncle Is Not an Ordinary Person


    Nian Xi quickly took out the gift and handed it to her. Then she said earnestly, This is a gift from your uncle.


    Xiao Pingguos Captain America helmet only revealed a pair of big, puzzled eyes. When did I have an uncle? When did you have a hubby?


    Nian Xi was unhappy when she heard that, Didnt I tell you before? I had a boyfriend a long time ago. Although Im not married yet, him bing your uncle is something that will happen sooner orter. He just didnte back because he had some business overseas. This time, hes finallying back.


    Xiao Pingguo tilted his head innocently, Didnt you find an excuse to avoid me because you dont have a boyfriend? Just like how my father always said that he would sell me and said that I was adopted. In fact, I know that adults love to lie to children.


    Nian Xi and Nian Juntings lips twitched speechlessly at the same time.


    Nian Xi was quite upset, Xiao Pingguo, thats not what you said before. You said that you believed me and that you would wait for your uncle toe back.


    Xiao Pingguo sighed, My teacher said that lying too much will make you be convinced eventually. Auntie, dont lie to yourself just because youre not married. Dont worry, even if you cant get married in your life, Ill take care of you when youre old.


    Nian Xi felt helpless. The kids these days were like adults, Its not like that. I do have a boyfriend. Im not lying. Your uncle is in Beijing now. Helle to see me in a few days. Ill show him to you. If you dont believe me, you can ask your father or your mother.


    Xiao Pingguo raised her head to look at Nian Junting, who nodded.


    Xiao Pingguo finally believed her.


    Nian Xi held Xiao Pingguos hand and walked out. As they walked, she said proudly, Let me tell you, your uncle isnt an ordinary person. Being handsome isnt important. Whats important is that hes a scientist


    Really before she could finish, Xiao Pingguo was so happy that he almost jumped up. Is my uncle that good?


    In the childrens world, scientists were magical characters that were seen in books. They were rarely seen in real life. Everyone wanted to be a scientist, but it was as difficult as reaching the sky.


    Very powerful. Nian Xi nodded. The watch on your hand was given to you by your uncle. When hees back, Ill let you research something even more powerful for him.


    Thats Great. Xiao Pingguo was extremely excited. Then can he transform my body and make me a Super Soldier, like Captain America?


    After saying that, he waved his shield.


    Nian Xi choked. Uh your uncle is a physicist and astronomer. Transforming his body isnt something hes good at.


    Moreover, if he really wanted to, he would be the first to transform a policewoman like her.


    I see Xiao Pingguo thought for a moment. Then transform me into Iron Man. Can you help me get an armor like Iron Mans? Dont worry, I wont hurt humans. Ill try my best to save them.


    Nian Xi touched her forehead. That kind of superhero only exists in sci-fi movies. Thats impossible.


    Xiao Pingguos bright eyes immediately dimmed, Then my uncle isnt that powerful.


    Nian Xi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. No one could do that.


    Nian Junting impolitely punched Xiao Pingguos helmet, You want to be a superhero with your physique? Real superheroes rely on their own physique. Look at Ye Wen and Huo Yuanjia, instead of thinking about all that nonsense.

 Chapter 1681. Mama Said That Youre Like an Old Antique

    Chapter 1681. Mama Said That You''re Like an Old Antique


    Little Apple rubbed her head, feeling wronged. Were not from the same world. I see the new world, and you see the old world. No wonder mama always said that you


    What does she always say about me? Nian Junting nced at her with a dangerous and nervous look.


    Nothing, Little Apple turned her face away.


    Tell me, Nian Junting picked Little Apple up. He didnt care about anything else, but he did care about his wifes words.


    Little Apple was really afraid that Nian Junting would throw her out, so she quickly said, Mom said that youre like an old antique.


    Nian Juntings face turned blue with anger. How could he be an old antique? He was still handsome. He sneered and said, Your mom really doesnt know anything. Let me tell you, shes too shallow.


    Okay, Ill tell my mother what you said, Little Apple nodded.


    Nian Junting:


    At two oclock, the car drove into Feng Garden. The Nian familys old mansion was still a little far away, so Nian Xi came to see her mother first. Another reason was that she had to discuss her marriage with her mother. Nian Qingyun wasnt a person who knew how to prepare for a wedding, so it was better to look for Mu Rongcheng.


    After entering the door, Nian Xi distributed the gifts that she had bought in Beijing to everyone. In Mu Rongchengs hands was a new dress that was the newest style.


    Mu Rongcheng looked at it and said helplessly, The gift that you have chosen is as ugly as ever. Can you improve your taste? No wonder you are usually not feminine at all.


    Nian Xis happy little face suddenly became gloomy. It was true. She did not receive such treatment in the Jiang family. Mrs. Jiang treated her gift like a treasure and liked them very much. Looking at her mother, she felt harmed byparison.


    Why are you looking at me? Mu Rongcheng continued, Im telling the truth. Next time, buy me something with a softer color.


    Nian Xi thought gloomily, Ill have to muster up my courage for a long time before I dare to buy it for you, okay?


    Yu Wen rolled her eyes at Mu Rongcheng. You should be satisfied with Xixi buying it for you. Youre stillining. This is your daughters goodwill.


    Mu Rongcheng quickly said, I hope that she can dress a little more like a woman.


    Shes a police officer. Why would she dress like a woman? Its not like shes trying to lure the enemy, Yu Wen said.


    She can wear it when shes not working.


    When has she ever rested? Yu Wen asked.


    Mu Rongcheng didnt say anything. Her daughter was a workaholic.


    Nian Xi looked at them with a bitter smile and said, Mom, actually, this dress was bought by Yuning, and so were the gifts for grandma and grandpa. By the way, hes back.


    The Yu couple and Mu Rongcheng were both stunned. Nian Xi nced at Nian Junting, then told them about Jiang Yunings undercover work.


    The crowd suddenly understood, and felt a wave of admiration for Jiang Yuning. Mu Rongcheng red at her children, Youve been lying to me for the past three years. Im worried that Nian Xi will never marry. See? Im so worried that Ive had a few wrinkles.


    You


    Alright, stop arguing, Mu Rongze said. Its good that hes fine. However, Xixi, you guys have been separated for so long. Jiang Yunings personality will definitely change. Can you guys return to how you were before?


    To me, hes still the same Jiang Yuning as before. Nian Xi smiled. I like him, and he likes me.

 Chapter 1682. Daddy Said that You Were Shallow Today

    Chapter 1682. Daddy Said that You Were Shallow Today


    The members of the Murong family looked at each other for a while, but didnt say anything. After all, Nian Xi had been with no one else for the past three years. It was obvious that Nian Xi had really decided to be with Jiang Yuning. Three years ago, they were also satisfied with Jiang Yuning, and now, all they wanted was to see Nian Xi get married as soon as possible.


    Luo Sang came over in the evening. She congratted Nian Xi first and said, Congrattions, youre finally together.


    Yeah, our rtionship is much moreplicated than yours, Nian Xi said with mixed feelings, But true love is always full of twists and turns.


    Nian Junting snorted disapprovingly and said, Thats notplicated at all. Youve never broken up before. Ive broken up before, and Ive been abandoned before. You dont know how painful that is.


    Luo Sang was speechless. The two siblings werepeting to see who was worse off.


    Mom At that moment, Little Apple ran over and hugged Luo Sangs thigh. Daddy said that youre shallow today.


    Nian Juntings expression changed. This kid was alwaysining. Luoluo


    He looked at his wife worriedly.


    Luo Sang smiled and patted Little Apples head. Your daddy is right. Im shallow. Otherwise, why would I marry him?


    Little Apple paused for a second, then suddenly understood. Youre right, mom.


    Nian Juntings face darkened. The mother and son had started working together to deal with him again.


    After dinner at the Murong familys house, Nian Junting drove them to the Nian familys old mansion.


    Nian Xi exined to the Nian family what had happened to Jiang Yuning, and they all understood.


    The next day, Nian Xi rested at home for a day before starting work.


    It happened to be Monday, and the people from the Bureau hadnt seen Nian Xi for a while. They were all stunned when they saw her.


    Captain You walked over with a smile and patted Nian Xi on the shoulder. Captain Nian, you didnt go to the wrong ce, did you?


    Oh? Nian Xi raised her eyebrows. She didnt have a good rtionship with this captain. In two years, the chief of the Criminal Police Department was to be transferred, and the captains below all wanted to take that position. Captain You was one of them. Nian X was the youngest captain in the detachment; therefore, many captains were not convinced by her. In the past, Nian Xi had always wanted to focus on her career, but now she had a bnced mindset. She only wanted to get married.


    Captain You smiled. Everyone in the Bureau knows that Captain Nian received a big case a few days ago and has already contacted Interpol. You should be entering the central bureau soon. Congrattions.


    Nian Xi waved her hand and pursed her lips. I was only temporarily transferred over for they were short-staffed. Now that the case is over, Im back. Captain You, you must be joking. How can I enter a ce like the central bureau so easily?


    Captain Yous face stiffened. He thought that she was leaving so that he would have one lesspetitor.


    Nian Xi waved her hand and pursed her lips. I was only temporarily transferred over for they were short-staffed. Now that the case is over, Im back. Captain You, you must be joking. How can I enter a ce like the central bureau so easily?


    Captain you raised his eyebrows. Thats true. I saw that Captain Feng was backst time. I think it must be Captain Feng who gave you the opportunity to work with Interpol this time.


    The corners of Nian Xis mouth sank. He was mocking her for relying on her connections to carry out the mission this time. Captain You, do you mean that Captain Feng pulled some strings? Why dont I tell the director about this? Ill say that you think that the people at Interpol are easy to fool around so that they choose people randomly to carry out the mission.

 Chapter 1683. Nian Xi Did Have a Boyfriend, Professor Jiang from Three Years Ago

    Chapter 1683. Nian Xi Did Have a Boyfriend, Professor Jiang from Three Years Ago


    The captains face turned dark when he heard this. Would he end up dead if the director heard this? How could he withstand such a huge nder against the central bureau?


    Nian Xi, Im just joking. He quickly squeezed out a kind smile, Im just saying that you and captain Feng used to be on good terms. I heard that the two of you used to be boyfriend and girlfriend. You grew up together. Oh right, how do you feel about going on a mission with Captain Feng this time? Will you get back together?


    The topic was too blunt, and the topic was annoying, but she had to answer.


    Im sorry, we have no intention of getting back together. Captain You, there are so many cases in the bureau every day, but you still have time to care about such trivial matters, Nian Xi asked bluntly. Have you solved the smuggling case at Baohua?


    Captain You said with some embarrassment, That case isrge-scale and involves a wide range of cases. It wont be solved in a short time. Im just concerned about your marriage. You said youre already 30 years old and should get married. My niece is five years younger than you and has a few children. I think Captain Feng is a good man and he will be a good match.


    Captain You, Im afraid theres no hope, Captain Lu walked over and said with a smile, You might not know this, but Captain Feng already has a girlfriend and will get married this year. His girlfriend is quite amazing and is also a criminal police officer of the Central Bureau. Shes two years younger than Captain Nian.


    Thats really young, Captain You said with a smile, So, Captain Nian, you have to find a boyfriend when youre young. Its not that youre not young anymore, but also, girls shouldnt be too strong. It doesnt matter when you solve a case, but if you should be gentle in your life. Please dont be unhappy. This is simple an advice from your colleagues.


    Nian Xi impatiently pushed aside a chair in front of her and sat down, Captain You, Captain Lu, none of my rtives are like you who meddle in other peoples business. Men, dont be too long-winded. Its more important to do your job. Youre already in your forties or fifties, dont be a nagging junior. If youre capable, letspete to see who can solve more cases. As for my marriage, I already have a boyfriend, and Im getting married, so dont meddle.


    Hey, since when do you have a boyfriend? Captain You snorted and raised his voice, attracting a lot of attention, Weve been colleagues for so many years, but we havent even seen your boyfriend. If you dont have a boyfriend, then so be it. Theres no need to lie. When the timees, you cant just randomly get a man to marry you, right?


    Everyone looked at Nian Xi and discussed heatedly. They all thought that Nian Xi was lying.


    Fang Qi walked in and saw this scene. He said unhappily, Nian Xi does have a boyfriend, professor Jiang from three years ago, and they never broke up.


    Everyone instantlyughed. Captain Lu said, Professor Jiang has long gone missing. Nian Xi, people have to look ahead.


    Thats right. Captain You nodded. Besides, even if he reallyes back, maybe your rtionship is already over. Youre the only one whos still living in the past.


    Nian Xi opened herptop and couldnt be bothered with these people.


    Its okay. Take your time to find a boyfriend, but dont lie. Captain You patted her shoulder and walked away with a smile.


    Fang Qi was furious. Why did you let them say that? This isnt your personality.

 Chapter 1684. Professor Jiang is Really Great For He Still Wants You

    Chapter 1684. Professor Jiang is Really Great For He Still Wants You


    Nian Xi smiled indifferently, If they want to see that Im not good, they can only attack me from the fact that Im not married. No matter what I say now, they wont believe me. Why do I have to waste my time? It wont be long before they will understand whether what I said is true or not.


    Fang Qi was stunned by her words. He said seriously, Youre not really going to get married, are you? Who? Or has professor Jiang found you?


    Yes, hes back. Nian Xi smiled sweetly.


    Her expression was sincere. Fang Qi knew that after Jiang Yuning disappeared three years ago, Nian Xi rarely smiled. Moreover, her smile now was so sweet that cant be faked.


    Congrattions. He was happy for her. Professor Jiang is so great. He still wants you.


    Get lost. Nian Xi rolled her eyes at him.


    The meeting began. The director, Deputy Director, and bureau chief went on stage to speak. The main point of the meeting was to emphasize the priority of peoples lives and their property. At the end of the directors speech, he looked at Nian Xi with a smile, This time, our detachments Nian Xi is fortunate enough to work together with the Central Bureaus Criminal Police to supervise an international case. This case has been deployed for many years and has made great progress. Im sure everyone has heard of the TOX organization


    The TOX organization was notorious internationally. This time, the Interpol side cracked down on twelve of the TOX organizations strongholds and even captured all the leaders. The funds involved in the case was huge. Officer Nian rescued the undercover agents hidden in the organization.


    At thest moment, she even used herself to lure out the escaping Manda and capture her. At that time, officer Nian achieved this even though she was injured. She was very brave and also brought glory to our bureau. All of you should learn from her.


    Nian Xi raised her chest proudly.


    If it was in the past, she would have been embarrassed. However, after being praised too much, she became thick-skinned and felt very proud.


    Captain You and Captain Lu, who hadughed at Nian XI earlier, looked at Nian XI with envy and jealousy. Captain You said unwillingly, Chief, we will learn from her, but if we carry out the mission, I believe we can do the same as officer Nian.


    What he meant was that it was not that they were not brave enough, nor were they inferior to officer Mian. It was simply that they did not have the chance.


    The bureau chief narrowed his eyes and looked at Captain You. The chief captain, Fan Zhi, said bluntly, Captain You, do you know who the undercover agent in the TOX organization is this time? Its Nian Xis boyfriend, Jiang Yuning. Three years ago, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning were supposed to get married.


    However, the TOX organizations case couldnt be pushed forward. In order to destroy the organization, under the persuasion of Interpol, Jiang Yuning decided to go undercover. You all thought that he was captured by the TOX organization. No, he was going undercover to provide the police with important evidence.


    And that time, it was very likely that he would not return. In order to solve this case, Nian Xi had no choice but to endure and let Jiang Yuning leave. You all have to ask yourselves, as a police officer, should you learn from her?


    The entire conference hall instantly burst into an uproar. Everyone was discussing, and many people looked at Nian Xi with admiration.


    Even Fang Qi, Zhan Hong, and the others, who were close to Nian Xi, were shocked and filled with admiration.


    They thought: Think about it, if it were me, would I be able to do it? It would be difficult.


    Not only would she have to face the pain of losing her beloved person, but she would also have to endure the strange gazes of others.


    Captain Yous face was burning. He really wanted to bite off his own tongue. Why had he said so much just now?

 Chapter 1685. Do You Not Love Me Anymore

    Chapter 1685. Do You Not Love Me Anymore


    The chief coughed lightly. Officer Nian is indeed impressive. Although I am in a high position, I have also heard some rumors about why officer Nian has never married and refused to find a boyfriend. Have you ever thought about how she feels?


    Nian Xi quickly said, Chief, dont say that. Since I chose to do this road back then, I dont care about what others say.


    The director nodded. I only knew about your story in the past few days. Nian Xi, Ill record a merit for you. Lets call it a day. Meeting adjourned.


    After the leaders left one after another, Nian Xi was instantly surrounded by arge group of colleagues. Everyone just came to praise her or ask when she would get married. However, Nian Xi was not too interested and returned to her office after a while.


    The people in the first team were very happy to see her back. Fang Qi said directly, Nian Xi, without you here, we simply have no leader.


    What cases have you received recently? Nian Xi asked with a smile.


    Huang Lian, a subordinate, handed her a document. Its the arson case from two years ago at the Japanese food shop.


    Its been so long. Its hard to investigate. Nian Xi sighed as she stroked her hair.


    There have been too many unsolved cases in the past few years. Last week, Captain Fan sent a few unsolved cases to his subordinates. This is the most recent case, Fang Qi said helplessly.


    Nian Xi pped her hands. Alright, call everyone into the conference room. Well have a meeting on this case and listen to everyones opinions.


    Halfway through the small meeting, Jiang Yuning called. Nian Xi took a look and immediately hung up.


    In less than half a minute, Jiang Yuning sent a Wechat message: Why arent you picking up my call? Do You Not Love Me Anymore?


    Nian Xi saw the Wechat message and her expression froze for a few seconds. She ignored it and continued to analyze the case with everyone.


    Not long after, the phone rang again. Cheng Jing smiled and said, Captain, is it professor Jiang? Pick up. Its okay, we didnt see anything.


    I cant be distracted at work, Nian Xi said seriously. This was her rule.


    Fang Qi covered her mouth andughed. Its different when your boyfriend is back. There are calls from your boyfriend at work.


    I think youve been quite free recently, Nian Xi said. Ill leave the investigation of the victims to you. You have to investigate all those who had disputes with the victims or have bad rtionships with them.


    Fang Qi was depressed. The case was two years ago, and there were several victims. It would be extremely exhausting to find out. If she had foreseen Nian Xis response, she would not have said anything.


    After the meeting ended, it was already noon. Nian Xi walked to the cafeteria and answered Jiang Yunings phone. The phone rang and she picked it up.


    Xixi, why did you take so long to call me back? Jiang Yuning was depressed.


    I was in a meeting just now, Nian Xi said.


    Then you can reply to my Wechat when youre in a meeting, Jiang Yuning said in a low voice. You Sent me a Wechat message before during the meeting.


    At that time, I was a small criminal police officer. I didnt have much work except for asional business trips. After all, Im not an important person. Its different now. Im the team leader and Im the boss. How can the boss send a text message in front of his subordinates to her boyfriend? Nian Xi said in a low voice.


    I see. Jiang Yuning understood. Xixi, Ille over tomorrow morning with my parents.


    So Soon? Nian Xi was stunned. She thought that he would at least stay in Beijing for four or five days. I dont know if I can take a vacation tomorrow.

 Chapter 1686. Went to Sleep with the Household Register

    Chapter 1686. Went to Sleep with the Household Register


    Xixi, you cant do this. Jiang Yuning became anxious. Who said that you would take a leave of absence when you go back? You have to apany me properly and then go on a trip with me.


    Nian Xi sighed. She had gone out for a while this time and had a few more cases piled up in her hands. If I want to go on a trip, I have to take annual leave. My previous annual leave was unused. I will hand in an advanced notice this time. However, I cant go out and have a trip right away. I still have to finish the cases in hand and wait for the higher-ups to approve my annual leave.


    Oh, okay. Jiang Yuning was disappointed, but it was only for a short while. Nian Xi had already promised him to use her annual leave.


    What time will you arrive at the airport tomorrow? Ill pick you up.


    Twelve oclock, Jiang Yuning said. Are your parents free? Lets have lunch together.


    Theres no need to be in such a hurry. Nian Xi was amused. We can have dinner at night.


    We discussed it in the afternoon. Well get the marriage certificate tomorrow afternoon. Oh right, Ill bring the house register with me,Jiang Yuning said cheerfully.


    Nian Xis mind went nk. Was there a need to rush?


    Why arent you speaking? Jiang Yuning was puzzled.


    You didnt tell me you were going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow afternoon. Nian Xi felt that she was very confused.


    Didnt I mention it now? Jiang Yuning said matter-of-factly, Are you not willing again? Do you dislike my disfigurement


    His tone suddenly became very resentful, I think its justified to live with you after getting a certificate. Otherwise, your father would keep staring at me. In the past, we didnt go to thest step when we lived together, but the morning I left I should have married you three years ago.


    Mm, alright. Nian Xi heard him say so much and understood the gist of it. Ill get the certificate tomorrow.


    Jiang Yuning chuckled. Alright, Ill move directly to your ce tomorrow.


    In the afternoon, Nian Xi sat in her office in a daze. Actually, she still had a lot of cases to investigate, but now she couldnt concentrate at all and was inexplicably excited.


    In the end, she simply walked out and said to her colleagues, Dont work overtime today. Ill treat you to dinner and karaoke this afternoon.


    Everyone was stunned. Fang Qi immediately understood and nodded. Its indeed time for you to treat.


    Everyone was high until veryte at night. Nian Xi drank a lot of beer. Because she was too happy, she became drunk in the end. Later on, she became dizzy and directly took a car back to the Nian familys old residence.


    Nian Qingyun came out in his pajamas, and when he saw her staggering in from outside, he couldnt help but frown. Youre a police officer, and youre drunk. This is outrageous.


    Dad, Dad Nian Xi looked at him and giggled. Hurry up and give me the household register.


    What? Nian Qingyun looked at her vigntly.


    Im going to register tomorrow, Hurry up and give it to me. Nian Xi kept pushing him. I have a short memory. Im afraid that Ill forget, so I have to sleep with the house register in my arms.


    Nian Qingyun pulled her hands away and said in shock, Why didnt you tell me that youre going to get married? Does your mother know? She hasnt even met Jiang Yunings parents. I dont agree.


    Ill see you at noon tomorrow. Well go and get the certificate in the afternoon. Nian Xi pouted and shook Nian Qingyuns arm. If you dont agree, Ill go and look for it myself.


    Nian Qingyun couldnt stop her. In the end, he had no choice but to give her the household register. Nian Xi was so drunk that she didnt even have a shower. She hugged the register booklet and fell asleep.

 Chapter 1687. You Guys Can Continue Chatting. I Am Going to Get Married with Nian Xi

    Chapter 1687. You Guys Can Continue Chatting. I Am Going to Get Married with Nian Xi


    The next day, Nian Xi woke up and found something in her hands. She opened her hands and found that it was a household register.


    The incident fromst night came to her mind intermittently, and her face started to heat up.


    She didnt think that she would do such a thing, making it seem like she really wanted to get married.


    When she went downstairs, she was still a little embarrassed. Nian Qingyun said snappily, How was it? You didnt lose your house register, did you?


    Dad Nian Xi smiled and threw him a look. Wasnt I drunkst night?


    Granny Nian was actually smiling. This morning, Nian Qingyun had already told them about Nian Xis getting a certificate. The two of you have wasted so much time. Its time for you to get married. Yuning is a good man, brave and kind.


    Grandpa Nian nodded. In the past, he had thought that Jiang Yuning was too introverted and not masculine enough. However, after this incident, he was filled with admiration for him from the bottom of his heart. Ill get your brother to book a ce for lunch. The two families can have a meal together.


    Thank you, Grandpa. Nian Xi smiled.


    After breakfast, she rested for a while. Then, she drove to the airport to pick up Jiang Yuning. There was a traffic jam on the way. By then, Jiang Yunings family had alreadye out.


    After getting in the car, Jiang Yuning decisively sat in the front passenger seat. Then, he pulled Nian Xis hand and said lovingly, Xixi


    Yes. Nian Xi thought that he would say something like I miss you. She was a little embarrassed. After all, Jiang Yunings parents were sitting in the back.


    Have you brought your household registration book? Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuning took out his own household registration book from his bag. I have mine.


    Shi Qingtong rolled her eyes at her son. Looking at her sons behavior, he didnt seem to have any restraint at all.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed and answered vaguely, Ive brought it.


    Jiang Yuning immediately beamed with joy.


    Jiang Fei said in embarrassment, Nian Xi, have you told your parents yet? They still have to agree.


    They all agreed, Nian Xi said with a smile. They agreed three years ago.


    Jiang Fei and Shi Qingtong finally felt relieved. Before they came, they had asked Xuanyuan Lang about the Nian family. At first, they were not sure, butter they found out that the Nian family had such a powerful background, especially Nian Xi. As a daughter, she was born wealthy. However, she relied on herself to be a police officer. After understanding her, Jiang Fei and his wife liked Nian Xi even more.


    However, they were also clear that the Jiang family was not bad in terms of conditions, and they were also an outstanding family However,pared to Nian Xis older brother and her mother, they couldnt be considered as wealthy. However,pared to their education, the Nian family was definitely not as good as the Jiang family.


    In fact, they could be considered to be of equal status.


    However, thinking about the gic inheritance the Jiang couple regretfully thought that it would be a little difficult for their grandchildren to be scientists in the future.


    At 12.40 am, the two families officially met.


    Nian Qingyun and Jiang Fei shook hands with a myriad of emotions. We finally met after three years.


    Isnt that right? Good thingse to those who wait, Jiang Fei said with a smile.


    After some small talk, they discussed the matter of marriage. The process was very smooth. After all, the Nian family was not short of money, and the Jiang family was not stingy. Soon, the discussion was settled, and the whole family began to ramble on.


    At two oclock, Jiang Yuning saw that their parents had no intention to leave, and he could not wait but stand up. Dad, mom, you guys can talk. I am going to get a certificate with Nian Xi. The civil affairs bureau is about to start work.


    Everyone was stunned for a while, and then they started tough.

 Chapter 1688. Luoluo, I Was Wrong. I Was Holding You Back

    Chapter 1688. Luoluo, I Was Wrong. I Was Holding You Back


    Nian Xis face was flushed red as she stomped on his feet under the table.


    Why were they in such a hurry? Even if he had no reservation, she wanted to be restrained.


    Mu Rongcheng smiled and said, Whats the hurry? The civil affairs bureau doesnt get off work until five oclock.


    Luo Sang smiled and said, Mom, you dont understand people who are in love. They want to be husband and wife as soon as possible. They cant wait.


    Nian Qingyun nodded and said, Both of you are not young anymore. Its time for you to have children.


    Dad, what are you talking about? Dont be ridiculous. Nian Xi rolled her eyes at her father in embarrassment. She didnt understand why they were talking about having children.


    Im telling the truth, Nian Qingyun said rudely, Look, Little Apple is about to go to school. Mo Liuxi is younger than both of you. Hes about to have two children.


    Nian Xis mouth twitched. How could an average personpare to Mo Liuxi? Even his brother couldntpare.


    Nian Junting stopped talking at the mention of Mo Liuxi. He was so jealous. It was one thing for Mo Liuxi to have one daughter, but now, Yan Su was pregnant again.


    He secretly looked at luosang, his fingers hooked around her little finger under the table.


    Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning were going to get a certificate, and soon, the two families left. Little Apple went to Feng Garden to y, and Nian Junting sent Luo Sang off, You said you were going shopping. Who are you going with?


    Susu, Luo Sang said.


    Nian Juntings face turned sour when he heard that. He was annoyed by Yan Su and Mo Liuxi, Young people nowadays dont do their jobs properly. They dont work hard, but they get pregnant every now and then. If China is full of such young people, the GDP figures will be dragged down.


    Luo Sangs mouth twitched slightly. She could see that her hubby had been ruined by jealousy, Susus career isnt stable right now. Its okay for her to get pregnant now, and it wont affect her status in theing year. Besides, shes still young. As for Liuxi, hes working hard after graduation. Why does it affect GDP? Our country even encourages people to have a second child.


    Speaking of encouraging people to have a second child, you should respond to the countrys call and cooperate with me. Nian Junting said immediately.


    Luo Sang rolled her eyes at him and said, Didnt I cooperate with you? Ive been cooperating with you since I found out that Susu is pregnant.


    Yeah, why arent you pregnant? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, Do you need me to take you to the hospital for a check-up?


    That makes sense, but I think you need a male check-up more than I do. After all, youre much older than Liuxi. Luo Sang said seriously. As you get older, you sperm survival rate gets lower. Im still in my prime. Every time Ipare myself to you, I suddenly feel so young.


    Nian Juntings face darkened. Was he very old? He didnt think so. However,pared to Mo Liuxi, who was twenty-five years old, he wasnt that young.


    Seeing the changes on his face, Luo Sang sighed speechlessly. He asked her to get a check-up. He deserved it.


    Luoluo, I was wrong. I was holding you back, Nian Junting said sadly.

 Chapter 1689. Xiao Si was Like a Speck of Dust Compared to You

    Chapter 1689. Xiao Si was Like a Speck of Dust Compared to You


    Yeah, its good that you know youre wrong, Luo Sang nodded.


    His wife didnt give him any face, so Nian Junting had to bite the bullet and say, Maybe I didnt win simply because I was slightly older than Mo Liuxi. Now that you mention it, Nian Xi will also have a hard time getting pregnant. After all, Jiang Yuning is about the same age as me. Im really worried about him.


    Luo Sang thought to herself, I dont think youre worried sick about him, but I think youre gloating over his misfortune.''Having a baby is destiny. Sometimes, the more you force yourself, the less youll get. Besides, you really dont need to be envious of others every now and then. Isnt it good for us? Look, Susu is having a baby now. Is Liuxi asfortable as you?


    Nian Junting paused for a moment, then thought for a while and realized that she was right. Back when she was pregnant with Little Apple, he had doubted that he was a man every day. Now that he thought about his life, it was sweet.


    Luoluo, youre right. Nian Junting held her little hand and said with a smile, Now that you mention it, I want to cherish our time together. Dont go shopping with Yan Su. Come with me.


    Luo Sang red at him and said, Ive already promised Susu. Besides, arent you going to thepany in the afternoon? Im with you every night. Arent you satisfied enough?


    Not enough. Weve been married for so long. Why do I like you more and more? Nian Junting stopped driving. He leaned over, gently stroked her hair, and kissed her cheek.


    Luo Sang raised her head and looked at the face in front of her. She was happy, too. They had been married for so many years. Some of their ssmates had gotten divorced and became single again. However, they were still the same.


    Nian Junting saw that she didnt say anything, but was looking at him gently. He couldnt help but kiss her on the lips. Luo Sang covered his mouth, Drive. I have an appointment with Susu at 3:30 pm. I cant let a pregnant woman wait for me for too long. Liuxi will scold me.


    Nian Junting was instantly disappointed. He looked like a child who couldnt eat any candy and wasining, Ive already expressed my love for you, but I didnt expect that after so many years, Yan Su is more important to you. Look at me, no matter how much time has passed, Xiao Si is nothingpared to you.


    Luo Sang didnt know whether tough or cry. Fortunately, Xiao Si had Nuanyi. Otherwise, she would have been in a terrible situation. I cant choose my lover over my friend, can I? I cant cancel the appointment at thest minute because I want to keep yourpany. Alright, Ill make you some delicious food tonight, okay?


    While speaking, she touched his stomach and said, What do you want to eat? Ill go to the supermarket before Ie back. Come and pick me up.


    Nian Junting rubbed his forehead with satisfaction and said, You know what I want to eat the most.


    After saying that, he red at her.


    Luo Sang,


    Her face turned slightly hot. She really didnt understand why he couldnt get tired after so long.


    Nian XI sent Jiang Yunings parents to the house that Jiang Yuning had bought in Xia City. Uncle Han had been staying here for the past few years, waiting for Jiang Yuning. He was quite excited to see theming back together.


    Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, we will go get a certificate first. Ill pick you guys up for dinner in the neighborhood tonight, Nian Xi said.


    No need, no need. You young people go do your own things. Shi Qingtong waved her hand. His father and I are going to have dinner with a few professors here. Well go back to Beijing Tomorrow.


    So Soon? Nian Xi was surprised. Just for a few more days? There are many fun ces in Xia City.


    Im not interested, Jiang Fei said directly. We havent gone out to work for a long time because of what happened to Yuning. I have an appointment with a research group. Were going deep into the Western Region the day after tomorrow.

 Chapter 1690. Im a Little Scared. You Wont Abandon Me Halfway, Right

    Chapter 1690. I''m a Little Scared. You Won''t Abandon Me Halfway, Right


    A university in Nanjing also invited me over to give a few lessons to the astronomy students, Shi Qingtong also said.


    Nian Xi sighed. As a researcher, the Jiang family was really busy. Uncle Jiang, you still have to take care of your health when you go to the west. The environment there is quite harsh.


    Dont worry. Your uncle and I have been running in the mountains all year round. My health is very good. Moreover, people like me have to die in scientific research in order to live a worthwhile life. Jiang Fei said with deep emotion, Nian Xi, I am relieved to have you take care of our Yuning. Dont worry about me. Go to the civil affairs bureau.


    Jiang Yuning really couldnt wait any longer. He pulled Nian Xi and left.


    On the way, Nian Xi drove. Jiang Yuning sat in the passenger seat and kept twisting his body. Sometimes he closed the window, and sometimes he opened it.


    What are you doing? Are you maggots? Nian Xi said bluntly.


    Im nervous, Jiang Yuning said faintly. Im suddenly getting married. Im nervous. Will you be good to me for the rest of your life? Will you always love me? Im a little scared. You wont abandon me halfway, right?


    Damn it, this kind of thing was usually asked by girls, okay?


    Theres nothing to be nervous about. Nian Xi held his hand. She was indeed not nervous. She was excited in the morning, but now she was not excited. Instead, she was very calm. Perhaps she felt that this was just a matter of time, Listen to your wife well in the future. I definitely wont abandon you.


    Jiang Yuning nodded honestly. He didnt have any good points, but he was especially obedient to his wife.


    After arriving at the civil affairs bureau, the two of them got married. The formalities were actually quite simple.


    After they were done, the two of them walked out. Sunlight poured down from the treetops. Nian Xis heart was filled with mixed feelings. Getting married sounded quite simple from other peoples mouths, but only she knew how difficult it was to get to where she was today.


    Xixi, where are we going now? Jiang Yuning turned around and asked happily, Lets go for a walk. Are we eating out tonight?


    Of course were going to move, Nian Xi said with some distress, Since were married, well definitely live together in the future. I dont care if you live with me or I live with you. However, if you live with me, I dont have yourb. If I live with you. Its too far away from where I work


    Jiang Yuning wasnt worried at all. Instead, he smiled. I know where to go. Come with me.


    Nian Xi was puzzled, but she still followed him into the car. However, after she started the car and asked for his address, he suddenly scratched his head and couldnt remember. Ill call Uncle Han.


    After he said that, he took his phone out of the car and sneakily went outside to call.


    After getting back in the car, Nian Xi said in a strange tone, What cant you say in front of me? Weve only been married for a few minutes, and youre already hiding something from me.


    Youll know in a while. Im going to give you a surprise, Jiang Yuning said very seriously.


    Nian Xi chuckled in her heart. He already knew to give her a surprise. Not bad, he had improved after getting married.


    She drove straight to the address he gave her. It was a neighborhood near herpany called Huanxi Garden. It was backed by a park. The neighborhood was not big, but they were all western-style houses with a few vis in it.


    Dont tell me youve bought a house here, Nian Xi said in surprise. If it was true, she would still be quite happy. This ce was really close to where she worked.


    How did you guess it so quickly? Its not interesting, Jiang Yuning was particrly depressed.

 Chapter 1691. Would You Stop Spoiling Me Once I Have a Child

    Chapter 1691. Would You Stop Spoiling Me Once I Have a Child


    Nian Xi found it funny. Come on, you suddenly brought me to an unfamiliar neighbourhood. Normal people would have the same idea, but youve only been back for a short while. Why do you have a nice house?


    I asked Uncle Han to buy it after I proposed three years ago. Jiang Yuning sounded sad when he mentioned it, I originally nned to get married three years ago. Who knew that after I paid for it, I would go undercover. Although I left, Uncle Han has been secretly helping me renovate. I only found out after I contacted Uncle Han in Beijing. Uncle Han said a person like me would definitely not die.


    Nian Xiughed. What uncle Han said made sense.


    However, this was a pleasant surprise.


    In the future, she would no longer have to live alone with Jiangjiang in that condominium.


    This was a three-story vi. Jiang Yuning opened the door with a key. The yard was not big, but the maple trees were very green and thewn was clean. He exined, Xixi, when I bought the house, I wanted to be close to where you work. At the same time, it had to be big. There are only vis around here, and it definitely cant bepared to your brother and your moms vis. We live on the two floors below, and myb is upstairs. I usually spend more time in theb, so theb has to be big.


    Nian Xi nodded and looked around. She really liked this ce. Although the decorations were not particrly luxurious, the tone of the log color was fresh andfortable.


    Do you like it? Jiang Yuning said expectantly. Uncle Han said that you must be tired of enjoying a luxurious house. He said that the Japanese style might make you feel morefortable.


    Uncle Han has good taste, Nian Xi praised. This ce is quite close to my condominium. Lets start moving here today and sleep here tonight.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. The two of them started moving things together and then bought all the daily necessities in the house. They worked until 11 pm, but they felt especially fulfilled. It was the first time they had a home together, and the first time they could work together for this home. They felt superb.


    After they were done, Nian Xiy on the sofa like a boneless cat ying with her phone. Jiang Yuning sat next to her.


    The light brown sofa was now covered with a light green id sofa cover. The two of them had bought it at the supermarket this evening.


    Xixi, we have a home now, Jiang Yuning hugged her andughed foolishly.


    Yes, Nian Xi nodded. She looked at the big house and suddenly said, Dont put your fathers skeleton and animal head in my house. I cant stand it.


    How can that be? I dont like those things. Jiang Yuning shook his head decisively. Then can I put binocrs, spheres, stones, or something like that?


    Alright, she forgot that he was also an astronomer.


    No, you must put them in theb. Nian Xi refused decisively.


    Okay. Jiang Yuning was disappointed. His eyshes drooped like a pitiful child.


    Its not that I dont like those Nian Xi thought for a while and said tactfully, When we have a child, some valuable things are not suitable to be ced casually. Children like to touch things here and there. Look at Little Apple. Hes a troublemaker. Oh, right, hell definitely ask you to make some Iron Man armor. Dont bother with him.


    Jiang Yuning didnt pay attention to what she said after that. When he heard the word child, he was stunned. Are we going to have a child? But I dont want one yet. Will you stop spoiling me after you have a child?

 Chapter 1692. Sometimes, She Also Longed to Be Carried in His Arms

    Chapter 1692. Sometimes, She Also Longed to Be Carried in His Arms


    Nian Xi suddenly stopped talking. She could understand Sangsangs feelings.


    After giving birth to a child, there was the other big child at home. She had to take care both of them.


    Speak. Jiang Yuning saw that she was silent and shook her arm hard.


    No, I will spoil you. You will always be a good baby in my heart. Nian Xi held his cheek and kissed him. She said something that even she felt disgusted.


    Jiang Yunings thin and handsome face instantly turned red. After a while, he hooked her little finger and said, Then then Lets go and have a baby.


    Nian Xi chuckled and raised her arm. Carry me up.


    Jiang Yuning reached out to carry her up, but his face turned red. He huffed and puffed as he walked to the side of the building. He panted and said, Xixi, you go on your own. I cant carry you


    Nian Xi:


    Damn it, she only weighed a hundred and ten pounds.


    Even though she was a fighter among women, she would sometimes long to be carried in his arms.


    Forget it, she could only ept her fate and hold his hand as they walked upstairs.


    The next morning, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning drove the Jiang couple to the airport.


    The couple knew that they had moved, so Shi Qingtong reminded his son before they boarded the ne, Youre married. be more mature and responsible. Dont let Nian Xi worry about you. Wait for the summer vacation and have your wedding. During this period of time, you should take a good rest and dont forget your work. You must find another and a ce for human beings to develop life in the universe. Right now, the environment is too polluted, the global warming exacerbated, and the ciers are melting. We must have rich research results for future generations.


    Yes, yes, I will work hard. Jiang Yuning nodded seriously.


    Nian Xi:


    As a policewoman who only knew how to arrest criminals every day, why did she feel that she was so shallow and superfacial?


    Jiang Feiforted her, Nian Xi, dont be surprised. These people who specialize in astronomy research are like this. They always think about studying aliens. I thought your mother was crazy at first, but after that, I got used to it.


    Nian Xi smiled embarrassedly, thinking that Mr. Jiang wasnt any better.


    After sending the couple away, Nian Xi still had to go to work. Jiang Yuning drove her to the police station. On the way, Nian Xi asked, What do you n to do today?


    Ill wait for you, Jiang Yuning said seriously.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed. No, Im asking what you n to do today.


    Im just waiting for you. Nothing else. Jiang Yuning gave her a look that she didnt understand.


    Nian Xi let out a few sighs of relief and said, I took a leave of absence yesterday. The Bureau has a lot of things to deal with, so I might have to work overtime at night. I wont get off work until about nine oclock.


    Why sote? Jiang Yuning was depressed. Its the first day. Are you going to leave me alone?


    Nian Xi was speechless. What had he experienced all these years? His expression was exaggerated. I have no choice. I have to catch the bad guys. You should go to theboratory and find a where humans can still survive. One of us is to punish evil, and the other is to save the lives of themon people. Its simply abination of two great missions. How great is that?


    Jiang Yuning was stunned when he heard that. After a while, he nodded hesitantly. What you said seems to make sense.


    Thats for sure, Nian Xi agreed.


    The car stopped at the police station. Jiang Yuning looked at her reluctantly. Xixi, give me a kiss.

 Chapter 1693. Do You Really Need to Bring Your Marriage Certificate with You

    Chapter 1693. Do You Really Need to Bring Your Marriage Certificate with You


    Nian Xi nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to kiss her, she suddenly stopped him. Wait.


    With Jiang Yunings puzzled gaze, she opened both windows.


    Xixi, what are you doing?


    There were peopleing and going in front of the police station. Jiang Yuning was a little embarrassed. The people outside will see it.


    If they see it, they see it. Lets not care about other peoples gazes. Nian Xi hooked her arms around his neck. Im afraid that if we kiss too passionatelyter, well be short of oxygen, so I open the window first to get some air.


    Jiang Yuning came to a realization. Xixi, Ill control myself. You dont have to worry.


    I know. Nian Xi nodded. Im afraid that I wont be able to control myself.


    Jiang Yuning:


    For some reason, his heart started to heat up. Before it even started, his entire body started to tremble. When his lips lightly touched each other, it was like twos colliding. Sparks flew everywhere.


    However, not long after, Nian Xi pushed him away. Be good, Hubby. Im going to work. Go to the supermarketter and buy more fruit. I love to eat.


    After she said that, she pushed the car door open and left.


    Jiang Yuning looked at her back with infatuation. Her xixi was still as charming as before. He really liked her.


    At the police station today, Nian Xi walked in as usual, but it was a little different.


    However, the people talking behind her back seemed to be more excited and gossipy this time.


    Did I see wrongly? I saw captain Nian kissing a man in the car.


    You werent mistaking. I saw it too.


    That man looked very handsome and young from the side.


    Yeah, his nose was very straight. Could that person be professor Jiang?


    I dont know, but it should be.


    Nian Xi went upstairs in a good mood. She had just walked into the area of her own detachment, cheng Jing joked, Wow, someone from my team saw your car parked downstairs for a long time. You and professor Jiang were really intimate, and the car window was wide open. Officer Nian, youre really fearless.


    Nian XI raised her eyebrows and smiled. How am I fearless? Cant I even kiss?


    Its not that you cant, but you still opened the car window. You did it on purpose, right? Fang Qi had a look that said, We understand you..


    I did it on purpose. What about it? Nian XI said snappily, Its because those people always like to gossip about me not being married. Let me tell you, Im already married.


    After she said that, she took out the marriage certificate and threw it on the table. Look, look, its real. Im married.


    No Way. Her colleagues quickly came over and stared at her marriage certificate.


    Some of them had never seen Jiang Yuning before and praised his look on the certificate. Captain, I finally understand why you havent changed your mind after so many years. Who would be interested in others after having such a handsome boyfriend? Look at his looks. Its as if shes being hugged and protected.


    The person who said this was one of Nian Xis subordinates, Cheng Zhenzhen. Although she was in her thirties, she was still a face-judger. Her idols were all young hunks in the entertainment industry.


    Nian Xi gave her a look that said, You know me.


    Cheng Jing was speechless as she poked at her marriage certificate. But why did you bring your marriage certificate with you? Did you show off on purpose?


    Her colleagues gave her a look that said youre so brave. Everyone know the reason, but they admired Cheng Jing for she dared to say it in front of the boss.

 Chapter 1694. Professor Jiang Would be Lonely at Home Alone

    Chapter 1694. Professor Jiang Would be Lonely at Home Alone


    I have to show off. Nian Xi didnt know the meaning of shyness at all. How have I endured the humiliation of being an old unmarried woman for the past three years? Im finally married now, to a handsome man and a scientist. If I dont show off now, when will I show off?


    Captain, what you said makes a lot of sense, Fang Qi took the lead and said, Well help you spread this news to every corner of the bureau, especially to captain You and Captain Lu.


    Theres no need to be too deliberate. Nian XI put away the marriage certificate. Alright, our private mode ends here. Now, Lets start working mode.


    The atmosphere in the office suddenly changed. Everyone knew that Nian Xi was a workaholic when she worked, and she didnt show any mercy when she lectured people.


    As her team hadnt made much progress in work recently, Nian Xi harshly lectured those people who deserved to be lectured. Then, she ordered the people to do things, and then she personally went to meet the victims families.


    She was busy until noon when she received a call from Jiang Yuning. Xixi, are you busy?


    Im fine. Im eating. Have you eaten yet?


    No, I just bought you some fruit at the supermarket. I was nning to go back, but I suddenly got lost, Jiang Yuning said gloomily.


    Alright, she had forgotten that he had terrible sense of directions.


    Where are you going to buy fruit? Isnt there a supermarket outside your house?


    I think that supermarket is too small. I want to go to a big supermarket,Jiang Yuning said.


    Dont you know how to navigate? Then you can navigate back home, Nian Xi reminded him. She remembered that he knew how to use navigation in the past.


    Okay, then Ill navigate, Jiang Yuning sighed in his heart. He thought about asking her out for lunch. In fact, getting lost was just a small excuse. Xixi was really boring, but she was probably really busy.


    Okay, okay. If you cant get home with navigation, you can look for Uncle Han.


    After dinner, Nian Xi and her subordinates worked overtime.


    Fang Qi couldnt bear to say, Xixi, you just got your certificate yesterday. Why dont you go back earlier today? Leave this case to us.


    Yes, yes, Cheng Zhenzhen said. Professor Jiang will be lonely and cold at home alone. Look, he said he got lost at noon, but he actually wanted you to find him and have lunch with him or something.


    Nian Xi was stunned. She hadnt thought of this at first, but now that Cheng Zhenzhen said it, it was indeed possible.


    Fine, now he was being petty, but it wasnt that she didnt want to apany him. She really had no choice. Being a police officer was like this. If she wasnt in a hurry to solve the case, the family would be anxious, and the evidence of the crime would slowly disappear, making it easier for the criminal to get away with it. It was also not safe for citizens.


    7:30 pm.


    In the vi, Jiang Yuning and uncle Han sat opposite each other. In front of them were two dishes and a soup. The room was quiet, and only the sound of little Jiang gnawing on bones could be heard.


    Jiang Yuning suddenly let out a bitter sigh. Its so boring to be alone on the second day of my wedding.


    Two lines appeared on Uncle Hans forehead. Sir, am I not a human being?


    Could he really just ignore him like that?


    You are a human being, but you are not my wife, Jiang Yuning said truthfully. You are an old man.


    Uncle Han:


    He could have just said the first part, but could he not have added thest part? Sir, I am only fifty years old, okay? And you will also grow old one day.


    I will grow old together with Xixi.


    Uncle Han sighed, meaning that he would grow old alone.

 Chapter 1695. Im Here to Find My Wife

    Chapter 1695. I''m Here to Find My Wife


    Sir, didnt you go through the same thing in the past? Uncle Han said helplessly. If youre really bored, go upstairs and do your experiments.


    Jiang Yuning shook his head. Ive been doing experiments every day for the past three years. Im tired.


    Uncle Han:


    Youve been doing experiments like this for more than ten years in the past, but you dont seem to be tired.


    Getting married is indeed more problematic.


    I want to take a good rest for a while. Jiang Yuning put down his chopsticks and looked up at the clock in the living room. It was still very early.


    You should send Miss Nian some supper. Uncle Han knew that he was not in the mood. You can pick Miss Nian up on the way. You can walk there. After all, itll only take twenty minutes to walk there.


    Jiang Yunings eyes lit up and he nodded.


    Summer came especially early in Xia city. Midnight snack was already very lively when it was eight oclock. Jiang Yuning rarely went to the supper shop alone. He had gone with Nian Xi before, but he hadnt been there since.


    As soon as he walked in, he couldnt bear to face the enthusiastic waiter.


    Sir, are you alone? What would you like to eat? The waitress looked at the handsome man in front of her. It wasnt that she had never seen a handsome man, but she had never seen such a handsome man. Look at his misty eyes.


    Ill order supper for my wife. Jiang Yuning recalled that Nian Xi liked crawfish the most in the past. She would order streaky pork, so he ordered all her favorite dishes and carried them to the police station.


    Although it was night, there were people at the police station at all times, especially since the police were cracking down on criminal activities. Many people had been caught by the police in the KTV or at the night clubs.


    Jiang Yuning walked all the way in. There were all kinds of people inside, such as those who were dyed with yellow hair and wearing miniskirts. They were squatting against the wall.


    Hi, Handsome A woman with red hair smiled and waved at him. I have something for you.


    After saying that, she quickly stuffed a card into his pocket.


    Jiang Yuning was baffled and quickly dodged. Just as he was about to take it out, a policeman came over and shouted at the woman with red hair, This is the police station. Behave yourself. I dont know how many times Ive arrested you. Youre unrepentant and corrupted. I think Ill have to lock you up for another year and a half this time.


    After saying that, the policeman looked at Jiang Yuning coldly. Whats your rtionship with them? Are you one of their family members?


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. No, Im here to look for my wife.


    The policeman took a deep breath and looked at his stunned expression. A trace of sympathy welled up in his heart. You said that one of them is your wife. Bro, you should get a divorce as soon as possible


    The more Jiang Yuning heard, the more confused he became. My wife isnt here. My wife Is


    Officer Liu, Im here to bail out Yu Cheng, a womans voice suddenly came from behind.


    Lawyer An, how many times have you bailed out Yu Cheng this year? Officer Liu smiled at the person behind Jiang Yuning.


    The woman walked over. Seeing Jiang Yunings gaze pause for a few seconds, she asked tentatively, You are professor Jiang ?


    Only then did Jiang Yuning notice the woman in professional attire beside him. She had exquisite and gorgeous red lips. He couldnt tell whether she was good-looking or not. In any case, he felt that, Nian Xi, was the most beautiful.


    You dont recognize me? Seeing that his eyes turned puzzled, An Lan smiled. Im Nian Xis friend.


    Hearing the two words Nian Xi, Jiang Yunings eyes moved. Im here to look for my wife.

 Chapter 1696. Honey, Ill Send You Supper

    Chapter 1696. Honey, I''ll Send You Supper


    Officer Liu waspletely shocked.


    Today, the police station inexplicably announced the marriage of Captain Nian of the Interpol Brigade. What kind of person was Captain Nian? In the police station, she had the image of an iron-blooded policewoman. She was even more desperate than a man when it came to arresting criminals, no one thought that any man could hold captain Nian back. However, a few days ago, they suddenly heard the chief say that Captain Nians boyfriend had gone undercover. Everyone was in awe and curious about Captain Nians boyfriend at the same time, then, a man who addresed himself as her hubby came knocking on their door.


    They carefully looked at the man in front of him. There were faint scars on his face. At first nce, he looked a little evil. However, upon closer inspection, this clean shirt was buttoned to the top. His hair was also clean and neat, and his facial features were delicate, he looked like a weak schr.


    Who gave him the courage to marry Captain Nian with this appearance.


    Was this a position that had no status in the family and was looking for abuse.


    Was captain Nian able to cripple people with one finger.


    May I ask is Nian Xi you mentioned the captain Nian of the criminal police first team? Officer Liu asked tentatively.


    Jiang Yuning thought carefully for a moment. He seemed to remember that Nian Xi said that she was quite arrogant now, and there were many subordinates under her. It should be.


    Officer Liu was speechless. What do you mean I think so? Dont you know what your wife does in the police station?


    I havente to the station to look for her for a long time, Jiang Yuning said in distress. I heard that shes been promoted now.


    An Lan smiled and said, Hes indeed talking about Nian Xi, but Nian Xi isnt on the first floor. Shes on the third floor.


    Yes. Officer Liu nodded vigorously. He sized up Jiang Yuning as if he was looking at a rare animal. If he said that he saw Nian Xis hubby, would the station be shocked.


    Then Ill go to the third floor to look for her. Jiang Yuning had just moved his legs when he saw Nian Xi, Fang Qi, and the others walking down the stairs.


    Jiang Yunings eyes lit up and he quickly walked over with his long legs. Wife.


    His voice was gentle and polite. Even if he raised his voice, it was not loud. It was only the second day that Nian Xi had be his wife. She was not familiar with this title, so she did not notice and walked quickly, Fang Qi only stopped when he saw a man chasing after them and calling them Honey.


    He quickly tugged at Nian Xi and said with a smile, Someones calling you honey''.


    Nian Xi stopped. This time, when she saw Jiang Yuning, he was still holding a midnight snack box. Why are you here?


    He was still calling her honey with all his might. Didnt he used to call her Nian Xi at home.


    Honey, I am sending you supper, Jiang Yuning said as he looked at the men behind her. The two men seemed to have gone through a lot, so he was relieved.


    Professor Jiang, long time no see. Fang Qi quickly shook his hand. Do you still remember me?


    Jiang Yuning frowned and shook his hand, then said thoughtfully, I know. You used to work together with my girlfriend. Do you still solve cases together?


    Fang Qis lips stiffened, and he said embarrassedly, Yes, we solve cases together, but Im her subordinate now.


    Jiang Yuning nodded and turned to Nian Xi. Xixi, youre great.


    Fang Qi felt like crying. Professor Jiang, dont say that. Think about my feelings too.


    Whats Wrong? Jiang Yuning was confused. Xixi is so powerful. Its normal for her to rise faster than you.


    Fang Qi suddenly did not want to talk. A person like professor Jiang definitely did not have any friends.

 Chapter 1697. My Wife Is a Police Officer. Im Not Afraid

    Chapter 1697. My Wife Is a Police Officer. I''m Not Afraid


    It had been three years since hest saw Professor Jiang. He had forgotten what professor Jiang had been like in the past.


    Alright, give him some face, Nian Xi said with a smile. Im going back soon. Is it necessary to send me supper? Youre so good-looking. What if you get raped when youe out in the middle of the night?


    Jiang Yuning blushed and stammered, My wife is a police officer, Im not afraid.


    The corners of Fang Qis and Chen Lians mouths twitched, especially Chen Lians. This was the first time he had seen Jiang Yuning, and he was shocked. He thought to himself, as expected of his boss. As expected of her skillful husband taming skills, what kind of scientist, no matter how powerful he was, he was still as obedient as a kitten in front of his boss.


    Xixi, when did you get married? Howe I didnt know at all? An Lan walked over with her bag in hand and greeted with a smile. You didnt even send an invitation.


    Nian Xiughed when she saw her. Ill definitely call you if Im going to hold a banquet. After all, I gave you a red packet when you got married. I have to get the red packet back, or else Ill be at a loss.


    Forget it. You, young mistress Nian, stillck this little bit of favor money. An Lan smiled and waved her hand. When do you n to hold a banquet?


    Summer. We just got our marriage certificate yesterday. Nian Xi winked at her, How is it? is your married life with Judge Xu fiesty? You guys, awyer and a judge, yet you insist on getting married. Arent you sworn enemies? Dont you have a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every three days?


    An Lan smiled helplessly. We never talk about work when we go home. We want to avoid leisure. This is our professional ethics. Were not sworn enemies, are we? If you want to talk about sworn enemies, were the real rivals with the prosecutor.


    Nian Xi sighed, Anyway, I cant stand Judge Xus serious look. Hes just like the political and educational director when I was in school. Every time I see him in court, I get annoyed. Thest time we caught a dying criminal, we finally sent him to court, but thewsuit failed. We were supposed to go to jail for more than ten years, but in the end, we lost some money and just let it go. Speaking of which, its all your fault aswyers. Whats the point of fighting so many cases? You two are annoying from the inside out.


    An Lan did not think much of it, she smiled regretfully and said, It cant be helped. If you lose the case, it can only be said that you dont have enough evidence. Sometimes, even a judge cant do anything about it. He knows that the person below is a bad person, and he wants to arrest him, but he has to follow the rules of thew. If he doesnt follow them, it will be chaotic.


    Oh, thats not what you used to say to me. Every time you see me, you have to curse brother Xu once, Nian Xi joked. Dont forget that you were always defeated by him in the past.


    An Lan sighed, Every profession has its own difficulties. You have to put yourself in his shoes to know. Just like how Im going to bail Yu Cheng out today, your police officers will probably be annoyed to see Yu Cheng. They wille to the police station once a month, but in my eyes, he is just a child who has never done anything bad.


    Yu Cheng that kid Nian Xi sighed and shook her head. He was spoiled by his father. By the way, havent you ever thought of changing your career to be a prosecutor? You and brother Xu are a perfect match.


    No, there are prosecutors in this world, so there must bewyers. I like the feeling of being able to dominate the business world. An Lan smiled and threw her bag behind her. Im not going to talk to you anymore. Im getting annoyed to talk about your hubby again. Goodbye.

 Chapter 1698. Officer Nian Liked This Kind of Delicate-looking Man

    Chapter 1698. Officer Nian Liked This Kind of Delicate-looking Man


    Only then did Nian Xi look at Jiang Yuning. Seeing that he was silently looking at An Lan, he looked unweing and anxious.


    Xixi, Ive never seen her before, Jiang Yuning said what was on his mind. Are you familiar with her?


    If he was familiar with her, he would remember her appearance, and he would take the initiative to greet and nod next time.


    My bros friend. Shes awyer, and we have some contact from time to time. Nian Xi looked down at the time. I have to go to the technical department. Can you go upstairs to my office and wait for me? Chen Lian, take him upstairs ande find me right away.


    Jiang Yuning also saw them walking out, and he guessed that something was up, so he did not say much and nodded.


    When Ie back, Ill eat the supper you bought, Nian Xi said with a smile before leaving.


    After Nian Xi left, Jiang Yuning followed Chen Lian to Nian Xis officest year.


    Chen Lian used the key to open the door and exined, There are some confidential information in the captains office, so you have to lock the door at all times. You stay inside for a while. If anyonees in, dont let anyone touch it, but I dont think anyone would dare to do so.


    Jiang Yuning nodded.


    After Chen Lian left, Jiang Yuning sat alone on Nian Xis desk. In the past, every time he came to the police station, he would wait like this. However, at that time, Nian Xis desk was really small, and the environment was not as good as here, however, there was one thing that had not changed. It was still as messy as before.


    However, he did not tidy up. Nian Xi did not like others to help her tidy up her desk because some of the information was arranged by herself. Although it was messy, she remembered the location clearly. If it was messy, it would be difficult to find it.


    After sitting for a short while, a woman in her forties came knocking on the door. However, she had never seen Jiang Yuning before. She asked hesitantly, May I ask who you are ?


    Im her hubby, Jiang Yuning quickly said.


    Oh. Fu Fu was stunned for a while, then a strange look shed across his face. Wheres captain Nian?


    She went to the technical room.


    Then shell probably be back in a while. I have to get off work. Please give her this photo. Im from the Forensic Laboratory. The woman handed the photo to him.


    Jiang Yuning nced at it casually. After looking at it, his face instantly turned pale. Then, he bent down to look for the trash can and directly vomited.


    The middle-aged womans mouth twitched. I also wanted to remind you not to look at it if youre timid.


    Im not timid, Jiang Yuningined in a low voice. His eyes suddenly became watery. It was really pitiful to see it. Its just that the photo is a little disgusting.


    The middle-aged woman muttered in her heart. It turned out that the tough officer Nian liked this kind of delicate-looking man.


    How can it not be disgusting? It has rotted for so long the middle-aged woman shrugged and turned to leave.


    Jiang Yuning hurriedly stuffed the photo into the drawer and did not dare to look at it anymore.


    Another ten minutester, someone came in. Nian Xi, do you have to work so hard? Its sote and youre still not off work. Its useless even if youre in a hurry because of the fire case a few years ago


    This time, it was Captain You who came in. He had been unhappy with Nian Xi recently, especially after being praised by the bureau chief. He was even more unhappy and wanted to tease her when he had the chance. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a handsome and refined man sitting inside, You


    Nian Xis hubby, Jiang Yuning immediately straightened his back as if he had a huge honor on his back.


    After another ten minutes, another person came in. Nian Xi, do you have to work so hard? Its sote and youre still not off work. Its useless even if youre anxious about the fire case from a few years ago

 Chapter 1699. Are You Trying to Bully My Hubby When Im Not Around

    Chapter 1699. Are You Trying to Bully My Hubby When I''m Not Around


    Captain You quickly shook his hand. Im a colleague of Nian Xis. Im the captain of another team.


    Hello, Jiang Yuning shook his hand and looked at him warily. Why are you looking for my wife sote at night?


    He emphasized the words My wife. No one could understand his feelings. He had finally gotten married to Nian Xi, and he had been cooped up at home for the past two days. Now that he was finallying to Nian Xis workce, of course, he had to let others understand his current rtionship with Nian Xi. That way, he could prevent some crazy bees and butterflies from getting close to Nian Xi.


    Although this Captain You in front of him looked quite old and unshaven, he also had to be on guard against this mature man. Moreover, he had read a reportst time that it was said that old men had a higher chance of cheating than young men.


    I Im fine. I just saw the light in Officer Nians office. I came in to take a look. Its already nine oclock, and Officer Nian is still at work. Hes really hardworking, Captain You said with a fake smile. Mr. Jiang doesnt mind at all?


    Jiang Yuning frowned. He felt that this persons words were strange. He did not like it, but this person came in when he saw Nian Xis office light. What did he mean? Could it be that he was interested in Nian Xi?


    Right, he even asked if he minded. Could it be that he wanted to sow discord between him and Nian Xi.


    Jiang Yuning suddenly sat up straight and became energetic. Fortunately, he had been undercover for three years and wasnt as dumb as before. Now, he could analyze things. It was really hard to guard against love rivals now, I dont mind. I think my woman looks especially good when she works hard.


    Officer Nian works overtime every day. Captain you sighed, Moreover, Nian Xi is famous for her bad temper. Generally, no man can handle it. When we heard that Professor Jiang and officer Nian were married, we really admired her. I sincerely wish you all the best.


    Thank you, because Im not an ordinary man. The More Jiang Yuning heard, the more unhappy he became. He was sure that this person was trying to sow discord, Only I know if Nian Xis temper is good or not. As Nian Xis colleague, it doesnt seem right to say that about her. Tell me honestly, are you interested in our Xixi? Are you jealous that I can have such a beautiful and capable wife like Xixi? Your behavior is considered to be harassing a married woman.


    Captain You was dumbfounded. He did noy know how things had turned out this way. No, Im already married


    Thats even more serious. Youre already married, but youre still thinking about someone elses wife. Jiang Yuning became angrier the more he spoke. Im warning you. In the future, keep those thoughts away from my wife. Otherwise, no matter who it is, I wont be polite.


    Captain You was dumbfounded. He just did not understand why this person would think that he liked that hag Nian Xi.


    What was this person thinking.


    You have misunderstood. I really didnt


    Jiang Yuning said coldly, I understand. Of course you dont dare to admit it. Believe it or not, Ill go talk to your wife.


    Captain You:


    He was wrong. He should not havee in. He should not have been so mean.


    This professor Jiang waspletely delusional. He was even scarier than Nian Xi.


    Oh my god, his wife was also a hag. If Jiang Yuning really went to look for her, he might not even want to go home.


    Whats wrong? At this moment, Nian Xi finished her work and walked back with Fang Qi and the others. When she saw the gloomy atmosphere in the office, she was baffled. Captain You, what are you doing here?


    She stared at Captain You warily. Are you trying to bully my hubby when Im not around?

 Chapter 1700. Everyone Knows That He Has the Heart of Sima Zhao

    Chapter 1700. Everyone Knows That He Has the Heart of Sima Zhao


    Ten thousand mas galloped through Captain Yous heart.


    Your hubby is so powerful, would he dare to bully him? Even if he had ten guts, he wouldnt dare to. He was the one being bullied, okay.


    In the future, when he saw Jiang Yuning, he would have to take a detour.


    Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding, Captain You quickly said, I just saw Professor Jiang here and found out that you got married today. As a colleague, I came to congratte you. Professor Jiang is really handsome. The two of you are really a match made in heaven. However, I think Professor Jiang might have misunderstood. He thinks that I like you. I think you have to exin. Im really innocent.


    Captain You almost choked on his words.


    Nian Xi:


    This was really a nightmare-like misunderstanding.


    Behind them, Fang Qi and Huang Lian looked at Jiang Yuning as if they were eating Sh* t. the two of them silently thought to themselves, Professor Jiang, not everyone has the guts like you.


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips. Xixi, I didnt want to say it at first, but everyone knows that he has the heart of Sima Zhao.


    Captain You really wanted to cry. Why did he have the heart of Sima Zhao.


    Nian Xi felt good when she saw Captain Yous rare expression. She wanted to exin, but thinking about Captain Yous usual behavior, so she said earnestly to Jiang Yuning, Dont let your imagination run wild. Captain Yous daughter is already in university. How can I like him? I think hes too old to even be my dad.


    Nian Xi Captain You gritted his teeth in anger. What was she saying? She was saying that he was too old, but she didnt exin that she didnt like him at all. They werepetitors, okay? Watch Your Mouth.


    How am I not clean? Nian Xi looked innocent. Didnt your daughter go to college? Are you younger if youre with my dad?


    Captain You almost vomited blood from the couples anger. Im aging faster than your dad. Is it because I often work overtime and stay upte? Besides, thats not the point. You have to exin to your hubby. I have no feelings for you.


    Yes, I only exined from my point of view. Nian Xi looked as if she had just remembered and continued, Hubby, Captain You cant possibly like me. In his heart, he secretly treats me as his niece. After all, he knows that he can almost be my uncle. Uncle is very anxious, especially in recent years. Whenever he has nothing to do, he would nag me that I should get married, that I should put down my career and take care of my husband and children.


    Behind them, Fang Qi and Chen Lian tried their best to hold back theirughter, but their faces were so stifled that their facial features were deformed.


    This was bad. Their captain was really too mean. He was taking revenge on Captain You for always making fun of her for not getting married. Looking at Captain Yous expression, he was so angry that he looked like he was about to explode.


    Nian Xi, you sure. Captain you gave Nian Xi a thumbs up. Fortunately, she did not have high blood pressure, or else her blood pressure would have skyrocketed.


    Of course Im good. Nian Xi smiled. Im very confident about the position of head captain.


    Niece, dont be too full of yourself. Captain you walked away angrily.


    As soon as he left, Fang Qi and Chen Lian leaned on the door andughed until their stomachs hurt. Captain, Im really convinced by you. I dare say that Captain You will take a detour whenever he sees you.


    Nian Xi was also smiling. Only Jiang Yuning was baffled. They were clearly discussing how captain you liked Nian Xi, so how did they suddenly get into apetition for a position? Xixi


    Alright, stop overthinking. Nian Xi raised her hand, Captain You wont like me. He treats me as apetitor. The chief captain of our bureau will probably be transferred in the next two years. The chief captain position is vacant. He has been in the Bureau for decades and has long wanted to take that position, but I think Im not inferior to him.

 Chapter 1701. Xixi, You Can Eat This？

    Chapter 1701. Xixi, You Can Eat This��


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head in realization. So I misunderstood.


    Nian Xi sighed in his heart. He really didnt understand how there could be such a terrible misunderstanding. Could you please take a look at the appearance next time you misunderstand? Your wife is a face-judger after all.


    Jiang Yuning raised his eyebrows. Didnt you say yourself that youre no longer a person who only only cares about appearance?


    Fang Qi clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He looked at Jiang Yuning sympathetically. How could you believe a womans words? It was impossible.


    I was joking. Nian Xi immediately turned serious and almost slipped up. By the way, didnt you bring me supper? I was just hungry.


    Jiang Yuning quickly took out the things he had ordered. His handsome face was slightly regretful. I bought what you like to eat, but its a little cold.


    Its okay, even if its frozen, its still delicious. Nian Xi winked and opened it. It was all her favorite food like crawfish, streaky meat, eggnt, chicken wings. Her heart warmed. She didnt think that he would still remember it after so long.


    Fang Qi and Chen Lians mouths itched. Captain, we can eat some too. We havent had enough for dinner.


    Nian Xi was about to nod in agreement, but Jiang Yuning quickly said, No, I didnt buy your share. Its all my wifes.


    Fang Qi couldnt help but roll his eyes. He knew it was his wife, so there was no need to repeat himself. But you bought a lot. Captain probably wont be able to finish it all by herself.


    Jiang Yuning thought for a while and said, Then you have to wait for my wife to be full first. What if she finishes eating?


    Fang Qi and Chen Lian were silent for a while. They couldnt resist the fragrance, Chen Lian said weakly, Captain, dont you think you enjoyed your supper every time my girlfriend brought it over? You cant forget our friendship just because you have a hubby. You have to share the good things together.


    Alright, lets eat together. Nian Xi couldnt stand the sight of these two. Moreover, she had originally nned to eat with them.


    Jiang Yuning pouted. Nian Xi touched the back of his head and said, During the three years you were away, their girlfriends and wives sent supper over. I also ate it, so I had to share with them. Now is the time for me to return the favor.


    I understand. Jiang Yuning nodded. Ill help you return the favor as soon as possible. From now on, Ill send you supper every time you work overtime, okay?


    Thank you. Its so good to have a hubby. Nian Xi turned and kissed him on the cheek.


    Chen Lian shivered and turned to whisper to Fang Qi, I think I saw a tigress and a kitten kissing.


    Fang Qi:


    Right, Xixi, someone from the forensicsb sent you a set of photos just nowJiang Yuning had just finished speaking when Nian Xis eyes lit up.


    Where are the photos? Let me see them.


    The corner of Jiang Yunings mouth twitched. Lets look at them after we eat. Theyre quite disgusting


    Its okay, Im used to it. Seeing that he didnt move, Nian Xi guessed that it was in the drawer. She opened it and saw that it was really there. Then, she looked at the autopsy photos while eating chicken wings.


    Fang Qi and Chen Lian couldnt stand it and left far away from her.


    Jiang Yuning looked at Nian Xi in shock. He threw up at a nce, and then looked at Nian Xis calm look as if she was reading a book. He didnt know what to say. Xixi, how can you eat ?

 Chapter 1702. Why Are You Calling Me Sister Xi? Youre Three Years Older Than Me, Okay

    Chapter 1702. Why Are You Calling Me Sister Xi? You''re Three Years Older Than Me, Okay


    Why cant I eat? Nian Xi looked at the photos seriously as she ate the chicken wings.


    Jiang Yuning:


    Was there a need to ask why? It was disgusting and terrifying.


    Fang Qi patted her shoulder. You need to get used to it. Some things just need to be looked at twice.


    Jiang Yuning frowned deeply. Then why are you guys hiding?


    Not everyone is as powerful as sister Xi, Fang Qi said with an embarrassed smile, Thats why Im her sidekick now. Dont you believe me? In the past, when I first started working on this kind of criminal case, I vomited every time I saw the photos. Later on, I became numb after I vomited too much. Sister Xi often went to the forensicboratory. When it was really safe and I didnt have a clue, she would personally go because sometimes the forensic doctors arent as sharp as police officers.


    Jiang Yunings heart twitched as he listened. His wife was really strong, but the stronger she was, the more his heart ached.


    Why are you calling me sister Xi? Youre three years older than me, okay? Nian Xi raised her head and rolled her eyes at him. Chen Lian, go take a look at the photo. Tell me whats wrong tomorrow morning.


    Chen Lian, who was biting on his pork belly, immediately looked tearful. Captain


    Dont rely on me for everything. You guys just dont have enough confidence, so without me around, theres no progress in the case, Nian Xi said snappily. In a few days, Ill need to apply for leave to go on a vacation. Ill have to hand this case over to you guys.


    Vacation? Chen Lian was stunned, but when he saw Jiang Yunings happy look, he instantly understood, Are you going on a honeymoon trip? Its pretty good. Captain, youve been tense all this time, so you should rx. Dont worry, Im sure youll be able to solve this case when youe back.


    I hope so, Nian Xi said calmly, You dont have to promise me since the person who died wasnt me. You have to live up to the sry youve received, the uniform youre wearing, and the family members of the deceased who have faith in us.


    Chen Lian immediately became serious, and Fang Qi also felt a wave of admiration. Perhaps this was also the reason why Nian Xi had been promoted faster than him, and Jiang Yuning, who was listening by the side, felt an upsurge of emotion.


    Alright, its veryte today. Lets go back. Nian Xi picked up her bag and stood up.


    Honey, let me help you carry it. Jiang Yuning quickly helped her carry her bag.


    When Nian Xi locked the office door and walked downstairs, Jiang Yuning said sincerely, Xixi, Ive realized that youre really great. I want to learn from you, and I also want to live up to my profession.


    We have different professions. Nian Xi held his hand. It was a cold night, Youre a scientist, exploring and understanding the unknown, while were maintaining order. Only when we maintain order can you use science to lead us further.


    Jiang Yuning listened in a daze. He carefully thought over Nian Xis words and suddenly felt that it made sense.


    Xixi, I will work hard, Jiang Yuning said seriously. I will develop many scientific research projects that are beneficial to humans.


    Nian Xi smiled and nodded. I will honor you.


    Jiang Yuning suddenly became shy. His right hand pulled at his ear. He had been holding Nian Xis hand, but now he was holding her waist.


    Just then, someone walked over. The person was staring at the two of them. Jiang Yuning immediately said, I am her hubby.


    The other party was baffled and quickly took a few steps towards the two of them. Nian Xi was puzzled. You know Him?


    I dont know him.


    Then why are you talking to him?


    He kept looking at us. I thought he was your colleague. Jiang Yuning looked confused.

 Chapter 1703. I Heard Doubt And Distrust From Your Words

    Chapter 1703. I Heard Doubt And Distrust From Your Words


    Nian Xi was speechless. Hes not my colleague. I dont know him at all.


    Jiang Yuning:


    Nian Xi didnt know whether tough or cry as she sighed. Actually, theres no need to go around telling people that youre my hubby. I didnt n to hide it. Everyone should know that Im married.


    Jiang Yunings face turned red as he looked at her nkly.


    Nian Xi took out her marriage certificate from her bag. I brought it to the police station today for everyone to see.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. He suddenly understood and smiled sweetly.


    His Xixi was amazing. She even knew to bring her marriage certificate with her. Xixi, leave the book at home tomorrow. Dont drop it.


    Okay.


    The two of them unknowingly walked out of the police station. Nian Xi asked, Where should we park the car?


    I walked here. Lets walk back,Jiang Yuning said with a smile. Its not far from home.


    Nian Xi exhaled andzily shook her arm. To be honest, after a day of work, she just wanted to go home, take a hot shower, y with her phone, and sleep.


    However, seeing Jiang Yunings expectant look, she still nodded.


    The two of them walked side by side on the streets of early summer. The night life had begun, and the streets were filled with shy lights. Nian Xi suddenly felt very calm. She didnt remember how long it had been since she had been so rxed and had a quiet walk with her beloved. In fact, it was quite beautiful.


    By the way, Xixi, you said that you nned to take a leave of absence to go on a trip with me. Have you thought about where you want to go? Jiang Yuning asked expectantly.


    How about Tibet? Nian Xi turned to look at him. Can you handle it?


    Of course I can handle it.Jiang Yuning was extremely happy when he heard that. Dont you believe me? I used to go to Mount Kash with my mother to observe the stars.


    Really? Nian Xi was very surprised. She remembered that the altitude there was very high. Good. How long ago was your trip?


    About seven or eight years ago.


    Nian Xi looked up and down suspiciously. Its been so long. Are you sure you can still take it? After all, youre a man in yourte twenties now.


    Jiang Yuning was instantly unhappy when he heard that, Xixi, what do you mean? Why do I hear doubt and distrust in your words? Thats right. Although Im in myte 20s, Im still far from 40. If youre really worried, Ill strengthen my training in the near future.


    Okay, then you should exercise more. It wasnt that Nian Xi didnt believe him, but she really hadnt seen him exercise before. Go to the gym for an hour every day before you go.


    I dont want to go to the gym. Jiang Yuning frowned. There are too many people there, and the air is not good. Ill just run in the park.


    You definitely have to run, and you have to go to the gym to be professionally guided by a coach. Nian Xi suddenly approached him mysteriously, Its rare for us to go on a honeymoon, so dont drag me down. Also, were not just going to go sightseeing. At night, we also have to You know? When youre panting on the bed of high-altitude, I wont be able to enjoy myself.


    Jiang Yunings heart was burning. He hadnt thought of such a thing, but when Nian Xi mentioned it, his body felt like it was being thrown into boiling water.


    Yeah, youre right. Xixi, Ill sign up for fitness tomorrow.


    ..


    Nian Xis suggestion was really motivating. When Uncle Han heard that Jiang Yuning was going to the gym, he was shocked.


    He had tried to persuade Jiang Yuning to go to the gym before. After all, it was not a good idea to stay in theb every day, but he would not listen.

 Chapter 1704. If You Cant Think of It, Go to the Guest Room Tonight

    Chapter 1704. If You Can''t Think of It, Go to the Guest Room Tonight


    In the past, he had tried to persuade Jiang Yuning to go to the gym. After all, it was not a good idea to stay in theb every day, but Mr. Nian would not listen to him.


    It was only the second day of their marriage, and Mr. Nian had decided to go to the gym. Mrs. Nian was indeed not ordinary.


    In the evening, Nian Xi wasfortably soaking in the bathtub while ying with her phone. After half an hour, Jiang Yuning urged her from outside, Xixi, stop soaking. Youll faint if you soak too long. Ive cut some fruit for you.


    Okay. Nian Xi got up reluctantly.


    After putting on her pajamas, she saw that Jiang Yuning had put his clothes in the basket. She picked them up and wanted to wash them together. Before putting them in the washing machine, she touched his pants pocket, it would be troublesome if she didnt take out a piece.


    After searching it for a while, she took out a card. When she saw the contents, her face froze.


    A momentter, she walked out with a cold face, holding the card.


    Jiang Yuning was happily eating grapes. When he heard the noise, he quickly turned around and saw Nian Xi wearing an ice-blue nightgown with a top on the inside and a robe on the outside. She was extremely sexy and charming, but her eyes were too cold. His restless thoughts were like frosted eggnts. Xixi, whats wrong?


    Nian Xi held back her anger and threw the card in front of him.


    Jiang Yuning picked up the card in confusion and looked at the photo and text on it. His handsome face turned red and he said embarrassedly, Xixi, why did you bring this card home? What do you mean?


    I wanted to ask you the same thing. Nian Xi rolled her eyes at him. This is in your pocket, Jiang Yuning. Youre amazing. You brought this home the next day of our marriage. What do you mean?


    She was really angry. Although she knew what kind of person she was, she would still let her imagination run wild.


    In the past, she had also joined the vice squad. The police had raided the houses and caught a bunch of Johns. Those people were usually the elites of society. Some of them were good husbands and good fathers. When the police informed their families toe over, some of the wives could not believe it.


    However, Nian Xi was the one who knew the most. She had seen many men and many of the most unbearable ones.


    Jiang Yuning waspletely stunned. Thats impossible. Why would I have something like that in my pocket?


    Nian Xi did not say anything. She just raised her eyebrows and looked at him. If you confess, Ill let you go.


    Jiang Yuning was so nervous that he pulled at his hair with all his might. He pulled a few strands of his hair. Xixi, I really dont know. I swear to God.


    Okay.


    She swept her dagger-like eyes across him. Speak.


    Im speaking. Jiang Yuning continued to feel wronged. Im wronged. I cant be more wronged.


    Nian Xi looked at him as if he had been wronged and felt very aggrieved. Then this thing wouldnt have appeared in your pocket for no reason, right? Youd better think hard. If you cant think of anything, go sleep in the guest room tonight.


    Jiang Yuning was anxious when he heard that. It was only the second day of the registration, and he was already sent to sleep next door. How could he sleep?

 Chapter 1705. He Decided that He Would Never Allow Any Woman to Get Close to Him Again

    Chapter 1705. He Decided that He Would Never Allow Any Woman to Get Close to Him Again


    He thought hard and carefully, recalling everything from morning till night.


    Nian XI was sharp, considering her position as a captain. No one would escape from her observation unless it was someone who was mentally strong or had a high IQ.


    Jiang Yuning looked like he really didnt know.


    If he really did know, he would have chosen to lie instead of saying that he didnt know.


    Think about it carefully. Did anyone get close to you today? Nian Xi asked, then added, Except for me and uncle Han.


    Jiang Yuning was awakened by her and slowly understood, When I went to your police station tonight, a red-haired woman approached me and even stuffed something into me. I didnt pay much attention at that time, and the police came to berate that woman


    Nian Xi understood immediately. She had been doing crackdown these past few days and had caught many women to go to the police station. When she went downstairs tonight, she saw that many people had been detained in the hall. It was bustling, but these women were too brazen. They actually dared to openly hand out small cards in the police station. It seemed that she had to report it again tomorrow to make that woman sit longer.


    She silently stared at Jiang Yunings face. Perhaps his face was too beautiful to resist.


    Xixi, what I said is true. Seeing Nian Xisplicated gaze on, Jiang Yuning was afraid that she would not believe him and was very nervous, If you dont believe me, you can go to the police station to look at the CCTV or ask that police officer. Oh right, your friend seemed to have walked over at that time as well. They can all testify.


    Alright, theres no need to ask. I believe you, Nian Xi said.


    Jiang Yuning heaved a sigh of relief and hugged her as she sat on hisp. Xixi, youre really a wise and mighty policeman. With just a few words, you let me discover the truth of the matter.


    Nian Xi was quite speechless. She didnt seem to have done anything.


    So can I sleep on the bed at night? Jiang Yuning asked tentatively.


    Nian Xi:  Yes.


    Jiang Yunings ck eyes shone with joy. Thats great haha haha.


    Nian Xi knew what he was thinking when she saw his silly smile, so she couldnt help but flick his forehead.


    Jiang Yuning looked aggrieved.


    Haha, youre quite good at talking now, Nian Xi raised her eyebrows. If I say no, then no. Although you didnt take the card, you still need to reflect on yourself for letting a woman get close to you for no reason.


    After saying that, Nian Xi got down from his body and began to eat the fruitzily.


    Jiang Yuning was extremely depressed.


    He decided that he would never let any woman get close to him again.


    The next day, Uncle Han took Jiang Yuning to a nearby gym to register for a coach. Of course, he chose the best coach in the gym, whose surname was Qi.


    After coach Qi evaluated Jiang Yunings body, he concluded, Mr. Jiangs figure is okay, but hes a little thin. In addition, his body is too stiff, so he probably doesnt exercise normally.


    Jiang Yuning nodded. This coach was quite good. It could be seen from his short evaluation.

 Chapter 1706. Hated It the Most When People Talked About the Woman He Cared About Behind His Back

    Chapter 1706. Hated It the Most When People Talked About the Woman He Cared About Behind His Back


    By the way, can you tell me your main purpose of working out? Coach Qi suddenly said, Is it to be fitter or to ease your lumbar pain? Or to gain weight and strengthen your muscles


    Jiang Yuning remembered his main purpose and blushed. Of course, he was embarrassed to tell the truth. After all, this was a private matter between him and Xixi. After thinking for a while, he said vaguely, WellIm going to Tibet. My wife is afraid that my body is not good enough So I want to be stronger and more powerful


    Also tost longer.


    Coach Qi understood right away and immediately arranged for him to exercise every day.


    After working out, Jiang Yuning was much more fulfilled every day.


    However, whenever Nian Xi worked overtime, he would basically send Nian Xi supper. It did not take long for many people in the police station to know that he was Nian Xis hubby.


    Jiang Yuning felt that every time he went to the police station, there would be people talking behind his back.


    At first, he did not understand what they were talking about. Later, when he was in the bathroom of the police station, he suddenly heard two mens voicesing from outside.


    I heard that Jiang Yuning is here again.


    Isnt that right? Recently, he oftenes with supper.


    Tsk, he has guts. Dont you think its tiring to marry an arrogant woman like Nian Xi? Shes even more powerful than most men. Can he take it?


    Hey, dont say that. I see that Professor Jiang is like a punchbag. At home, hes definitely afraid of his wife.


    Youre right. Haha, he might be as obedient as a grandson, but if it were me, I definitely wouldnt be able to take it.


    Thats not how it should be said. Nian Xis family is rich. I heard that Nian Xi will inherit more money than she can spend in her lifetime.


    The More Jiang Yuning heard, the angrier he got. His stomach was originally hurting, but now he was so angry that it stopped hurting.


    He did not care what others said about him, but he hated it the most when others talked about the woman he cared about behind his back.


    The bathrooms partition door was suddenly pulled open. The two men outside looked back and their legs trembled with guilt.


    However, the two of them looked at each other and quickly calmed down. Anyway, Jiang Yuning looked very weak.


    Jiang Yuning walked between the two of them with a straight face. Do you know why many men like to talk about women behind their backs?


    After a pause, he looked around coldly. Because they are not as good as that woman, they are jealous and salty. They can only talk about people behind their backs to relieve their depression.


    The two mens faces turned green at the same time. They were about to speak, Jiang Yuning interrupted them and continued, Do you know why I dared to say that? Because my wife is that woman who is so full of herself. My wife is really good and capable. She will stand up for me if I am bullied


    I cant even suffer any grievances outside. At home, I was ced in the palm of her hand and well-protected by her. That is why I will repay her equally well. Why do you think my wife is so good? She solves more cases than you, and her level is higher than you Her familys conditions are also better than yours. The hubby she had found can even piss far away from you.


    The two men were choked by him until their faces turned red. They stared at him and did notsay a word for a long time.


    Only then did Jiang Yuning smirk, Also, my wife does have a lot of money. She really has a lot of money. I can earn a lot of money, but we dontck money at all. Money is just a number in our eyes. You Wont understand. Oh right, next time, dont gossip about my wife behind her back. Otherwise, Ill record it and find your boss.


    He walked off with his head held high.

 Chapter 1707. Was Corrupted by You

    Chapter 1707. Was Corrupted by You


    The two men were so angry that they wanted to rush over and beat him up.


    But they did not dare to.


    They could only grit their teeth in anger, thinking that the next time they saw Jiang Yuning, they would make way for him.


    After getting off work that night, Nian Xi finished her work before walking towards Jiang Yuning, who had been waiting quietly by the side. She did not know what had happened to him tonight, but he had been sulking.


    This was jealousy, pure and simple jealousy.


    Xixi, I heard some of your colleagues say bad things about you in the bathroom today. I taught them a lesson, Jiang Yuning said angrily.


    Nian Xi was shocked. You fought with them?


    She was not worried that Jiang Yuning would not win. After all, he could easily defeat them with some high-tech equipment. It was just that fighting was not good.


    No, I used my words to humiliate them. Jiang Yuning paused and said, I said that they couldnt even piss as far as I could.


    Nian Xi burst outughing. She did not expect him to say something like that. I didnt know that you were so confident in yourself, huh?


    Jiang Yuning blushed and acted coquettishly. Xixi


    Thank you. Nian Xi held his arm and cheekily kissed him on the cheek. Hubby.


    Jiang Yunings heart was unbelievably sweet. This is what I should do. Im usually quiet because my bottom line hasnt been challenged. And my bottom line is you. Im not afraid even if I have fight to the death with them.


    Nian Xi silently pressed her small face against his arm. She had mixed feelings, Actually, I can guess what they will say. They will definitely say that Im too powerful, too fierce, or something like that. Its not like I havent heard this gossips before. In the past, when I was still a small police officer, people wouldnt say these things, and I didnt have the time. Later, when I became a high-ranking officer, there were many people who said it. Yuning, do you really not mind at all?


    Xixi, what kind of person do you think I am? Jiang Yuning panicked, I like you. I like you no matter what you look like. People who are really broad-minded wont care about these things. Only those who are jealous of you and jealous of you will gossip. Moreover, this is a rtionship between the two of us. I know very well whether you treat me well or not. Even if you dont treat me well, I still like you. Who asked you to Touch Me the first time I met you in the alley?


    He lowered his head shyly.


    Nian Xi was also embarrassed. It was really a misunderstanding.


    However, it had been so long, she did not want to exin.


    Moreover, her hubbys words made her happy. His understanding made her feel that she did not find the wrong man, and she did not wait for the wrong man.


    Hubby Nian Xi suddenly whispered in a seductive tone, Ive been too busy these few days and neglected you. Ill apany you tonight.


    When Jiang Yuning heard that, his entire body tensed up and his face turned red. He quickly stammered, Xixi, look at how tired you are at work today. Why dont we stop walking and take a taxi back?


    Nian Xi chuckled and poked his chest with her finger. Her tone was ambiguous. Sure, youve be bad now.


    Jiang Yuning bit his lips and didnt say anything. He silently added in his heart that he had been led astray by her.

 Chapter 1708. I Need Motherly Love

    Chapter 1708. I Need Motherly Love


    It was midnight In the bedroom.


    Nian Xiughed softly as she pulled herself into his arms. Suddenly, she said, Hey, so you have muscles too now?


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. Do I?


    You really do. Nian Xi lifted the nket and pointed at his stomach. It was not obvious, but there were traces of it. Sure, its been working recently.


    Jiang Yuning saw that she was unable to put it down and could not help but ask in a low voice, Xixi, do you like it?


    Hmm its quite sexy. Nian Xi smiled and lowered her head, not hiding her admiration at all.


    If you like it, then Ill train more in the future. Jiang Yuning was overjoyed.


    On Sunday night, Nian Xi was rarely not too busy with work.


    In the evening, she called her parents, older brother, and sister-inw to her and Jiang Yunings new house for dinner.


    Mu Rongcheng looked at the house and was quite satisfied with her daughters ce. Although it was not as big as Feng Garden, the yard was clean and the vi lookedfortable.


    Jiang Yuning cooked dinner that night.


    After eating for a while, Nian Junting secretly said to Luosang, who was urging her son to eat, His cooking cant bepared to yours.


    Luosang rolled her eyes helplessly and said in a low voice, Were in his house. Youre eating his food. Dont say that. Besides, his cooking skills are better than yours.


    Nian Junting frowned and said, Im just telling you in secret. Why are you attacking my cooking skills? Dont you know how good I am?


    Luosang sighed. Why was he so confident in his cooking skills? She did not mean topliment him in the past.


    She was just giving face to each other when they were in love. Didnt he understand that.


    Mom, feed me, Xiao Pingguo suddenly opened his mouth and urged her.


    Luosang peeled a prawn and threw it into his mouth. Nian Junting could not take it anymore and said, Why dont you eat it yourself?


    He used to be the only one who had this kind of treatment.


    Xiao Pingguo ate the prawnzily and said righteously, I need a mothers love.


    I think you need a fathers love even more. Nian Junting picked up arge piece of bittergourd and stuffed it into his mouth. Eat all of it.


    Luosang ate her food quietly. She was used to seeing such things at home a few times a day.


    Jiang Yuning watched them quietly. He was very annoyed. He felt that children were not very nice things. Besides, wouldnt it be better to have gentle girls at home.


    By the way, I heard that youre nning to go to Tibet for a vacation, said Mu Rongcheng.


    Yeah, were nning to go to gang Renbo Qi, said Nian Xi, Yuning said that he wants to see the stars.


    The corners of Nian Juntings mouth twitched, indicating that he could not understand people who went to Gangren Boqi to see the stars. He had been there when he was a soldier. The scenery was beautiful, and the stars were really beautiful, but ordinary people really could not get used to it, besides, it was hard for a honeymoon couple to go there.


    As he was about to say something, Luosang suddenly said enviously, Look at the stars. Its so romantic. I really want to go there.


    After saying that, she cupped her chin and looked at Nian Junting, saying, I remember you said that you went there when you were a soldier. You must be familiar with the route.


    Nian Xis eyes lit up as well. It would be good if her bro could go there. Although she did not really like him, it was her first time going to such a remote ce. It would be good to have someone familiar to lead the way.

 Chapter 1709. As a Husband

    Chapter 1709. As a Husband


    ..


    Facing the hopeful eyes of the two women, Nian Junting frowned and took a sip of the corn juice, he calmly said to Luosang, The stars are indeed beautiful. Why dont we go to the beach and watch the stars together? Hawaii seems nice. I heard that theres a ce to watch the stars there.


    Xiao Pingguo immediately raised her hand and said, I want to go too, I want to go too, I want to swim.


    Who said I want to take you? Shut up, you can stay at home with your grandma, Nian Junting said coldly.


    Xiao Pingguo puffed up her cheeks in anger.


    Luosang frowned, her eyes turned cold as she said, I dont want to go to the beach.


    Whats wrong with the beach? You can eat seafood and enjoy the sea breeze, go out to the sea and dive. Its so beautiful, Nian Junting really could not ept going to a ce like a teau. He thought that Nian Xi must have hit her head, she and Jiang Yuning would definitelye back with dark skin. Their skin was noy fair to begin with, so they would definitely be like teau people.


    It was their honeymoon. She should be going to the beach with her hubby in bikinis and live an extraordinarily sweet and flirtatious life.


    Luosang clenched her chopsticks. She did not want to get angry. After all, this was Nian Xis home. But seeing him like that, she couldnt help herself, Weve been married for a few years. Xiao Pingguo is in kindergarten now. Every time we go out, we go to the beach. The first time, we go to Australia, the second time, the Maldives, the third time, Pu, the fourth time, Greece


    Nian Junting nodded in satisfaction, Theyre all beautiful, romantic, and high-end ces. I really want to go there again. I didnt think that it was a good idea at first, but now that youve said it, I feel that Im really interested as a husband. It would be perfect if I went to Hawaii again.


    Nian Xi,


    Mu Rongcheng,


    Luosangs words were stuck in her throat. She really wanted to kill herself with a piece of tofu.


    After a while, Mu Rongcheng swallowed her food and coughed. She was really embarrassed. As a mother, she had a son who wanted to be pped to death, Its true that we go to the seaside every time. I think we can change ces asionally. The scenery in Tibet and Xinjiang in our country is really beautiful. The desert scenery, the scenery in the Arctic and northern Europe are all nice. Its also good to go to Europe to shop and see art exhibitions. Of course, going to Africa to see wild animals is also a good choice for Bro.


    Luosang nodded vigorously. Luckily, her mother-inw understood him.


    Nian Xi agreed, The beach is beautiful, but its boring to go to the beach every time. In fact, the sea looks the same. If we go somewhere else, the blue sea will turn pink.


    Nian Qingyun could not help but nod as well. Indeed, he would get sick of it if he were her.


    Nian Junting did not think much of it and said, Youre not me, you wouldnt know how happy I feel at the beach.


    It would be nice to go to the beach. When he was free, he could watch Luosang wear a bikini and swim in the sea with her. Besides, she did not wear much at the beach, so it would be more convenient at night.


    Luosang almost spat out. Everyone knew what he was thinking, Since you like going to the beach so much, I wont stop you. At most, I wont go next time. You can go by yourself. By the way, Xiao Pingguo also wants to go. Next time, you and your son can go together.


    No.


    The two voices spoke almost at the same time.


    Xiao Pingguo quickly hugged his mothers arm. Dear mommy, I dont have to go to the beach. Ill go wherever mommy Goes. As long as mommy is there, Ill go anywhere.

 Chapter 1710. Luo Luo, You’ve Gone Too Far

    Chapter 1710. Luo Luo, You��ve Gone Too Far


    Nian Junting felt goosebumps all over his body.


    He red at his son, Please, this is what I wanted to say, this bastard beat me to it..


    Baby, youre so good. Luosang kissed Xiao Pingguo on the forehead and said, If thats the case, how about I take you to Xinjiang for the summer vacation?


    Okay, okay! Xiao Pingguo was so happy that he almost jumped up.


    Nian Junting looked sullen and said, Luo Luo


    Luosang nced at him, Whats wrong? You dont want to go, do you? Oh, right, I forgot. Dont you like going to the beach? Okay, let me know when youre going to the beach today. Ill give you money to go, so I wont go. Have Fun.


    Nian junting was speechless


    If she did not go, who would he go with.


    Who would he go to see in a bikini? Would other women look better in a bikini than her.


    Nian Xi, Mu Rongcheng, and the others looked at Nian Juntings face, which looked like he had eaten shit. They could not help butugh.


    Jiang Yuning, who did not really understand what Luosang meant, took a bite of the food and said, Whats the point of going with a friend or a person if you dont go with your wife?


    Nian Junting nced at him silently. Of course, there was no point in saying such nonsense.


    Nian Xi stabbed him silently, If my sister-inw doesnt go, maybe only my bro will go. After all, very few people are willing to be friends with my bro. The only one, Bro Si, is already married and has found his true love. He doesnt need to unconditionally tolerate my bro anymore. Even without my bro, he still has his wife and children to apany him.


    Jiang Yuning nodded in realization and said, Bro, so youre just like me.


    Nian Junting sneered twice. Whos just like you? Can you evenpare to me? Youre a person that no one likes except for Nian Xi, and Im always the center of attention wherever I go..


    The difference between you and me is that there arent many people in this world who will cooperate with me to be friends..


    Nian Junting really didnt enjoy the meal.


    After dinner, Nian Xi brought the dishes to the kitchen, Jiang Yuning washed the dishes, Mu Rongcheng and Nian Qingyun took sun to the living room to rest, while Luosang helped clean the table. Nian Junting walked to the side with a cold face, he lowered his voice and said, Luo Luo, youve gone too far.


    Luosang,


    Nian junting continued, Whats there to go to Xinjiang for? Were going to ming Mountain in the summer. Do you want to bring my son home like a dried raisin?


    Luosang was speechless. I didnt say I wanted to go to ming Mountain. There are many ces in Xinjiang, such as Kanas


    So you want my son to be taken away by the water monster, Nian Junting sneered.


    .


    Luosang rubbed the space between her eyebrows and said, Thats just a rumor. Every year, many people go to Kanas for tourism, but their children were not taken away.


    Nian Junting crossed his arms across his chest and said, Theyre lucky. You dont have to care about yourself, but I cant ignore your safety.


    Luosang chuckled. She really wanted to throw a rag at his face and say, Then I wont go to Xinjiang. I can go to Europe.


    Nian Junting leaned against the tablezily. He turned his eyes to her with half of his handsome face, Thats why you women dont know how to care about the international news. We have to talk about the refugees in the Middle East. Ever since Europe took the refugees in, the whole of Europe


    Shut up, Luosang said, if not, Ill put a rag over your mouth.

 Chapter 1711. Of Course, the Baby Im Talking about Is Your Mother

    Chapter 1711. Of Course, the Baby I''m Talking about Is Your Mother


    Nian Junting pursed his lips and kept a little distance from her, in case she really did that.


    Luosang was so angry that she was about to die, I cant go here, and I cant go there either. Frankly speaking, you just want me to go to the beach with you. No matter how beautiful the sea is, no one can stand to go there for a few years. Look at Liuxi and the others. Theyre either going to watch the cherry blossoms or bath in the hot spring, or go to see the snow, or go skiing in Switzend, or go to Dubai. I dont expect you to learn from them, and I dont expect you to go with me. But dont go so far as to stop me from going anywhere.


    Nian Junting could feel waves of angering at him. No matter how slow he was, he could sense that his wife was angry.


    He felt wronged. He was not the kind of person who would not change his mind. If she begged him and brought him along, he would agree.


    Let me tell you. Im definitely going to Xinjiang. I dont want you to worry about your son being taken away by the water monster. Ive decided to bring my parents. If my family of three are taken away, then you can get a new wife, Luosang angrily threw the rag at him and walked away.


    Nian Junting was depressed.


    The two of them did not make much noise, but because Luosang really did not look well, Nian Xi walked to her brother helplessly and said, Bro, did you have too good a life after marriage? Sister-inw is too obedient to you. You need to be taught a lesson again.


    Its all your fault for going to Tibet, Nian Junting looked at her and sneered, I hope youll turn into the color of braised pork knuckles in the sun and wind.


    Nian Xi was speechless


    He was too evil.


    Even in her own home, she had to be polite to her guests, so she did not want to talk to him anymore.


    Nian Juntings wife ignored him, his sister ignored him, and his son ignored him. Nian Qingyun did not like him either, so he ended up being very bored.


    After ying with his phone for a while, he could not help but move closer to Luosang. However, because his son was sitting next to Luosang, he had squeezed Xiao Pingguo tightly.


    Xiao Pingguo protested, Dont squeeze me.


    Nian Junting ignored him and said to Luosang, Baby, lets go and watch the Boonie Bears with Xiao Pingguo tonight, okay?


    Okay, okay. Xiao Pingguo nodded happily and said, I agree. Lets go now.


    I didnt ask you. I asked your mom, Nian Junting gave him a faint look.


    You said BabyJust Now, Xiao Pingguo raised his head.


    Of course Im talking about your mom, Nian Junting said. Dont put me in your shoes.


    Xiao Pingguo:


    Luosang rubbed the space between her eyebrows and said coldly, Take Xiao Pingguo with you. Ill go hometer.


    Xiao Pingguo tugged at her mothers sleeve and said, Mom, are you going? I dont want to go with Dad. Hes boring and doesnt know anything.


    Nian Junting sneered. He did not need to understand those childish movies.


    However, it was better for him to remain silent. After all, he did not want to go without Luosang. To be honest, he was not interested in movies like The Boonie Bears. He just wanted to use his son to please his wife.


    Luosang looked at her son and sighed in her heart. Although she was angry with Nian Junting, it had been a long time since they went to the movies together. Alright, Ill go with you,she said.


    Nian Junting heaved a sigh of relief and said, Ill buy the tickets then.


    There was a trip at 8:30 pm. After booking the tickets, Nian Junting took them away immediately.


    Nian Xi watched her brother leave and could not help but say to Mu Rongcheng, My bro doesnt know shame anymore.

 Chapter 1712. Baby, Where’s My Coke

    Chapter 1712. Baby, Where��s My Coke


    Mu Rongcheng spread her hands helplessly and said, You have such a sharp tongue. If you still know shame, your wife will run away in anger.


    Nian Xi nodded. She could understand.


    On the way to the movie theater, Luosang sat in the back with Xiao Pingguo in her arms.


    Nian Junting nced at the mother and son who were ying behind him. He was frustrated. His woman should sit in the front passenger seat, and his son should sit in the childs seat.


    Without his wife in front, driving alone was really lonely. Besides, the two people behind him did not even talk to him. He was very depressed. Ever since he had a son, he often felt that he was unnecessary in this family. The older his son wasthe more obvious his mood was.


    When they arrived at the cinema, Xiao Pingguo immediately dragged Luosang to buy popcorn and coke. There were also Haagen-Dazs beside them, and Xiao Pingguo also wanted some.


    Nian Junting stopped him and said, You can only choose between popcorn and Haagen-Dazs.


    Xiao Pingguo scrunched up his little face and looked at his mother pleadingly.


    Your father is right. You can only choose one of the two, Luosang squatted down and said gently to her son.


    Xiao Pingguo pouted.


    Nian Junting smiled smugly. He was so happy that his wife agreed with him.


    Luosang coaxed him, Baby, you can eat only one of them today. Next time, Ill bring you to watch a movie and choose the second one. You wont have any expectations after eating the good stuff once.


    Alright, Ill listen to mom. Ill choose Haagen-Dazs. Xiao Pingguo had no choice but to nod obediently in front of his gentle and beautiful mother.


    Youre so good, Luosang encouraged her son and kissed his forehead.


    Nian Junting looked at her with envy.


    He was sure that he had given all the treatment to his son.


    He suddenly wondered if he would lose all his status in Luosangs heart if he gave birth to another child.


    He suddenly realized the problem and was a little scared. He had always wanted a daughter, but he had not thought about the consequences. He would love to have a soft and cute baby like his daughter, not to mention Luosang?


    Luosang paid for the popcorn and coke. Seeing that Nian Junting was still in a trance, she said rudely, Are youing or not? If not, my son and I will go in first.


    Nian Junting was very upset that his son was so gentle, but was so cold to him.


    He quietly followed her and asked, Baby, wheres my Coke?


    Luosang was still angry. She rolled her eyes at him and said rudely, Didnt you say that Coke kills sperm? How can I let your precious sperm be killed?


    Nian Junting,


    Xiao Pingguo raised his head and asked, Mom, what are sperms?


    This time, it was Luosangs turn to be choked. She pulled her son and said unnaturally, Hurry up and go in. Otherwise, youll miss the opening.


    The reservation was for three people. As the reservation waste, and there were too many peopleing over for the weekend, Xiao Pingguo naturally sat in the middle.


    After the movie started, it was dark inside. Nian Junting nced at Luosang, and could only see her blurry side profile.


    He sighed in his heart, wondering if he and Luosang were going to sit further away after having two children. If they had three children, his wife would not be able to see them clearly.


    His son and Luosang were enjoying the popcorn, and no one gave it to him. Although he did not like that kind of food, it did not feel good to be ignored.


    He thought for a moment, then picked up his son and sat on his sons seat. Xiao Pingguo sat on hisp.


    Daddy, what are you doing? Xiao Pingguo twisted his body.

 Chapter 1713. Stop Fooling Around. You’re Not Possessed by Yan Su

    Chapter 1713. Stop Fooling Around. You��re Not Possessed by Yan Su


    Xiao Pingguo, dont move, Nian Junting said gently, I havent watched a movie with you for a long time. I want to hug you like this to strengthen the bond between father and son. I love you.


    Xiao Pingguo shivered and felt like vomiting.


    Luosang shivered as well.


    After a while, Xiao Pingguo said to Luosang, Mommy, is daddy sick?


    Luosang patted her sons small hands, thinking that her father was not sick. He was going to make a scene again, but she still said, Ignore him, watch the cartoon.


    Xiao Pingguo twisted his body, feeling extremely ufortable. He was used to his father treating him like a piece of sh*t. If his father was nice to him, he would not be like his father.


    Seeing that his son and wife had stopped talking, Nian Junting reached out to grab the popcorn in Luosangs hand and ate it with a smile.


    Luosang pretended not to see him, but when he picked up her coke and drank it, she could not help but re at him.


    Nian Junting immediately choked on his coke. He leaned closer to her and whispered, Luo Luo, dont worry about me. I have too many good sperms.


    Luosang was speechless.


    whos worried about your sperm? Dont tter yourself..


    Luosang was choked by his words. Especially when she saw the smile in his eyes, she really wanted to throw the coke in his face.


    Do you know that were fighting?.


    Do you know that Im angry with you?.


    Luo Luo, Dont look at me like that. Are you thirsty? Drink it. Nian Junting handed the coke to her.


    Luosang resisted the urge to bite him. She said expressionlessly, Go ahead and drink it. I dont want to drink it anymore.


    Its good that you dont want to drink it. Its not good for your health. After saying that, Nian Junting drank the coke. He really did not think it was good, and neither did it taste good. However, because Luosang had drunk it before, he did not want to waste it.


    Luosang was so angry that she almost fainted when she saw that he had drunk all the coke. She could not help but say, Its almost two hours into the movie. Are you trying to kill me with thirst?


    Nian Junting paused for a second, then remembered that she had run out of water. Ill go out and buy you some water, he said.


    I dont want water, Luosang said irritably, I want to drink the ice grapefruit from that time we went to the new capital cityst time.


    Nian Junting frowned. The new capital city was too far away from here, and it was on the other side of the river. It would take him a whole hour to drive back and forth, and it was even further by subway. Luo Luo, stop it. Youre not possessed by Yan Su.


    Only a woman like Yan Su would make Mo Liuxi go out to buy milk tea in the middle of the night, especially after hearing that Yan Su was pregnant. He felt sorry for Mo Liuxi, but now, he felt sorry for himself.


    Its fine if you dont want to go. I know its too far, Luosang chuckled, her voice was unspeakably cold, I dont have a good life like Susu. My life is tough. If you want to find a man, you should find a younger one. Who said that the older ones can spoil people unconditionally


    Nian Junting rubbed his eyebrows and put down his son, Ill go buy it. What else do you want to eat? Do you want the Jasmine Layer Cake fromst time?


    Its up to you, Luosang nced at him.


    If he did not buy it back, he would be dead.


    Papa, I want to eat matcha cake, Xiao Pingguo said hurriedly.


    Nian Junting gave him a Dont even think about it look and left.


    Without the evil man by her side, Luosang was finally quiet. However, she was not interested in childrens movies, so she tried her best to watch them.

 Chapter 1714. There’s a Handsome Uncle Watching You from Behind

    Chapter 1714. There��s a Handsome Uncle Watching You from Behind


    After watching for an hour, Nian Junting did note back. She took out her phone to check the time and scrolled through her Wechat moments. Five minutes ago, CEO Nian posted: My baby wants to drink iced grapefruit. Its Sunday from the east to the north of the city, the subway was so crowded that there was almost no space to stand on. However, no matter how hard and tiring it was, I have to go. After all, my baby is the most precious treasure to me.


    The photo below showed him standing in a long line as he entered the subway. At least ten people were standing in front of each line, and the entire subway station was crowded.


    Mu Rongchengmented first, You deserve it.


    Nian Ximented, You deserve +1..


    Xiao Simented, Luosang has always been understanding. Did you do something to piss her off again?.


    Yan Sumented, I suddenly feel like drinking too. Ill ask my Liu Xi to buy it..


    Mo Liuxi replied to Yan Su,.


    Luosang wanted tough. Sometimes, she hated him so much that her teeth were itching, but sometimes, she could notget angry because of him. Just like now. She was angry before, but when she saw him standing in such a long line, she felt sorry for him. She should not have asked him to buy drinks during the peak of the day off.


    At the end of the movie, Luosang held Xiao Pingguos hand and walked out. Nian Junting appeared with his face covered in dust. He did not look too good. He was sweating profusely, and his shoes were full of shoe prints.


    When he was in front of luosang, he handed the paper box to her and said, Luo Luo, the subway is too crowded. The cake box is a little deformed.


    Luosang sighed in her heart. She took the cake and the iced grapefruit and said, Alright, lets go back.


    Luo Luo, Im so tired. Nian Junting put his hands on her shoulders, bent down and said, Do you want to kiss me?


    Luosang felt sorry for him at first, but seeing his dirty look, she stepped on the back of his shoes and said, Have you forgotten how you offended me tonight?


    Nian Junting frowned in pain and did not say anything.


    The three of them walked out of the cinema. Nian Junting went to get the car, while Luosang waited by the roadside with her son in her arms.


    Xiao Pingguo wanted to eat the cake, so Luosang opened it and fed him two spoonfuls. Xiao Pingguo suddenly looked behind her and said, Mom, theres a handsome uncle behind you whos watching you.


    Luosang turned around and saw a man in an ordinary shirt standing in front of the convenience store. The light from the top of his head fell on his short ck hair, and his beautiful eyes looked a little dreamy and absent-minded.


    The man was also staring at her. His eyes shed with various emotions, including embarrassment, urgency, joy, and sadness.


    Luosang stared at him for a while, until the man walked to her hesitantly. He looked at her, then at the child beside her, and asked in an awkward tone, Sangsang, is this your child? Hes so big now.


    Yes, hes going to primary school soon. Luosang did not expect to meet Yi Jingxi again. She had not seen him since he went to prison. She used to hate him to the bone, but after he went to prison, she did not hate him anymore. Besides, she realized that if it were not for Yi Jingxis past, she would not be as happy as she was now. You got out of prison?


    Yeah. Yi Jingxi nodded. He said with mixed feelings, I did well in prison, so I got out two years early. Im sorry. You probably dont want to see me either. I just went out to buy something


    Nian Junting, who had just driven over, suddenly saw a tall young man chatting up his wife. His chest tightened. There were too many crazy bees and butterflies nowadays. Even his wife and children had people chatting up them, he was too shameless.

 Chapter 1715. That’s Why Mommy Doesn’t Love You at All

    Chapter 1715. That��s Why Mommy Doesn��t Love You at All


    Nian Juntingi hurriedly parked his car by the side of the road, got down from the car, and strode over. However, when he saw the mans face clearly, a dark look shed across his eyes.


    Yi Jingxi, arent you in jail?


    Yi Jingxi also noticed Nian Junting. Although a few years had passed, Nian Junting, who was two years older than him, did not seem to be affected by the passage of time. On the contrary, he was wearing dark gray pants and a ck t-shirt, which made him look exceptionally handsome, his facial features were handsome and cold.


    He stood side by side with Luosang, which made Luosang, who used to be so beautiful, look as soft and gentle as if she had been washed clean.


    Bitter envy rose in his heart, but it was only envy. He had brought this upon himself.


    The two men looked at each other and did not say anything. Luosang had no choice but to exin, He said that he did a good job, so he was released early.


    Nian Junting tensed up like a lion who had been stabbed by a hedgehog, The prison nowadays is too casual. He acts like he can be released to harm others. Whats the use of being good? Can he change what he did? Can he make up for what others did to him? Do you believe that I can continue to sue you?


    I believe you, Yi Jingxi looked at him calmly, But Ive really changed.


    Really? Nian Junting sneered. If he had changed, why did he still appear by his womans side? He was trying to steal her. You used to pretend to be a good man and lie to Luosang.


    Yi Jingxi felt sad. He had to admit that what happened in the past was a thorn in his heart.


    Luosang was not as sharp and angry as Nian Junting. Instead, she held Xiao Pingguos hand and said generously, Since youre out, you should start over. Do you live near here now?


    Yi Jingxi nodded slightly and said, I have a smallpany nearby.


    Good luck with yourpany. Were going home, Luosang said with a faint smile.


    Nian Junting immediately put his hand on Luosangs body and said intimately, Lets go, honey. Lets go to the car and eat the cake I bought for you.


    After saying that, he did not give them another chance to speak. He held Luosang tightly and walked into the car.


    Xiao Pingguo turned around and looked at Yi Jingxi with confusion, but he still hopped into the car with his parents.


    Yi Jingxi stood by the roadside and watched the three of them get into the SUV and drive away. Confusion shed across his eyes, but he soon regained his rity.


    Some things had really passed, and Luosang and Nian Junting were the people he could only look up to. However, this was good too. He would work hard and start over slowly. Fortunately, she was living a happy life now.


    The car was filled with a quiet atmosphere. Nian Juntings face was very unpleasant, really unpleasant. He did not understand how someone like Yi Jingxi could be released so early. Not only was he released, but he also showed up in front of him.


    The car stopped at an intersection. He turned to look at the woman behind him. Luosang and Xiao Pingguo were eating cake happily, while Xiao Pingguo was munching on the cake, he asked curiously, Mom, whos that handsome uncle? Has he been in prison before? He doesnt look like a bad guy.


    Youre really your moms son, Nian Junting sneered, Your mom was as innocent and ignorant as you were, and then she was tricked into losing everything. Luckily, your dad came down from the sky like the Monkey King, and saved your mom from the fire and water.


    Xiao Pingguo was stunned, So mommy didnt love you at all. Did she marry you because she was grateful to you for saving him?

 Chapter 1716. Quickly Say That You Love Me, You Love Me, You Love Me…

    Chapter 1716. Quickly Say That You Love Me, You Love Me, You Love Me��


    Nian Junting was so angry that he almost stepped on the brake. He didnt mean that by saying so much.


    Does this kid know how to talk?


    Looking at the furious look on his face, Luo Sang almost burst intoughter. She couldnt help but reach out to touch Little Apples ear, wondering why her son was brilliant.


    Luo seeing that his woman was smiling, Nian Junting put on a resentful look and said, I know you love me.


    Little Apple grabbed his mothers skirt and said, Daddys love for mom is so pathetic.


    Nian Junting took a deep breath and said helplessly, Luo, dont you think its time to tell me that you love me?


    Luo Sang rolled her eyes and ignored him.


    Nian Junting drove back to their house gloomily. Luo Sang was the first one to walk into the bedroom. Little Apple was about to follow her into the bedroom, but his cor was suddenly pulled by someone. After that, he was dragged out of the bedroom.


    Go and ask Grandma Lan to apany you to your room and sleep there. Your mother and I need to have a heart-to-heart talk, Nian Junting said and closed the door in front of his son.


    Little Apple kicked the door angrily.


    Hearing the noise behind her, Luo Sang turned around and found that her son had been shut outside the room. She red at the man who was walking toward her and said, You


    Before she could finish her words, Nian Juntings tall body approached her step by step. Luo Sang had no choice but to step back and sit down on the sofa. She raised her head and red at him, What do you want? Dont think that Ill forgive you just because you bought me a ss of iced grapefruit.


    Do you think that my love for you is pathetic? Nian Junting said angrily, As a husband, I feel extremely insulted that my son despises me like that.


    Luo Sang was speechless. So, that was what he had been keeping in mind all this time.


    Say you love me, Nian Junting ced his hands on both sides of the sofa beside her. His tone was overbearing and brutal. Seeing that she didnt say anything, he continued aggressively, Quickly say that you love me, you love me, you love me


    Luo Sang was annoyed by his words. She put a pillow over his mouth and said, If you want me to tell you that I love you, you should resolve our conflict first. With CEO Nians wisdom, you do understand why Im angry tonight, dont you?


    Nian Junting frowned and asked, Are you talking about the trip?


    Yes, Luo Sang nodded seriously and said, If you dontpromise and insist on only going to the seaside, I can only choose to go on a separate trip without you.


    Are you serious? Nian Juntings voice became heavy.


    Luo Sang didnt say anything but continued nodding. However, after being married for a few years, she had understood how couples should get along, so she thought for a while and added, Actually, its good for both of us to go anywhere. Isnt it good as long as were by each others side? I like to climb mountains and walk in the desert because I like the feeling of us helping each other while walking. I want to see not only the sea with you, but also the mountains, the snow, and the flowers. Although I can go with my parents, I also want you to be by my side.


    Nian Juntings eyes gradually lit up, and he felt incredibly sweet. In the past, he didnt know much about it. He just wanted to know how Luo Sang looked in her swimsuit. But now, he suddenly felt that he was shallow-minded, Luo, you should have told me this earlier. I can understand what you mean. I wanted to go to the beach with you, not only because I think you will wear lesser there, but I also feel that I look the most handsome in the water.


    Luo Sangs gaze on him softened a little. No, I think you look handsome in every way.

 Chapter 1717. I Have No Daughter to Spoil, But I Can Spoil You

    Chapter 1717. I Have No Daughter to Spoil, But I Can Spoil You


    Nian Junting felt her words were sweet like he had just eaten a mouthful of honey.


    He felt that his wife was great.


    He reached out and hugged her. They exchanged seats, and he let her sit on him, Luo, Ill go with you to Tibet. But you must be mentally prepared. Ngari is beautiful, but its a tough trip. I dont mind bringing our son, but he might not be able to bear the journey. Your parents are too old. Its better for just the two of us to go. As for Nian Xi and her husband, theyre newlyweds. Lets not disturb them. Well go alone next time, okay?


    Alright I didnt say that I must go with them. Its not good to disturb them either, Luo Sang wrapped her arms around his waist. In fact, she didnt want much. He just needed to learn to understand and give in, in certain aspects.


    The main thing is that I dont want them to disturb us, Nian Junting said in a low voice, then kissed her hard with his thin lips.


    Luo Sang wrapped her arms around his neck, and he carried her to the bed. Suddenly, his body stiffened. A momentter, he let go of her and searched for something in the drawer beside her.


    What are you doing? Luo Sang was confused. It was rare for him to stop suddenly.


    Im looking for a condom, Nian Junting said seriously.


    Luo Sang blinked, thinking that she had heard wrong. Didnt you say that you wanted to have a daughter?


    Ive decided. Im not in a hurry, and I dont want to be jealous of others. Nian Junting pursed his thin lips, and aplicated look appeared on his face. Were fine like this. I dont have a daughter to spoil, but I can spoil you.


    Luo Sang was speechless.


    She frowned, got off the bed, and touched his forehead, and asked. Hubby, whats wrong?


    He didnt seem like him at all. He hadnt said much in the past few days, but she knew that he wanted to have a daughter. Especially after seeing Yan Su pregnant, he was so envious. In fact, she was also a little envious of them. So, she agreed to it. Now, she wanted to have the baby, but he didnt want to. Was he trying to y a joke with her?


    Nian Junting silently approached her and held her tightly in his arms, With Little Apple, we dont have much privacy. Would we lose more time together with another baby? Just like today at the movie theater, were separated by a seat. Well be separated by two seats if we have another child. Luo, life is too short. I just want to have a dating life with you for a while longer. I still have a lot of things I want to do with you in this life. I like you more than having a daughter. Lets talk about conceiving a second childter.


    Luo Sang felt like crying.


    No wonder he suddenly sat down beside her with Little Apple in his arms tonight.


    She knew that he loved her, but she didnt know that after so many years of marriage, he had never gotten over it.


    She began to reflect on herself. Perhaps after the marriage, she paid more attention to her child.


    Hubby, youre right. Were not in a hurry. I love you. Dont take what Little Apple said tonight to heart. He is just a child, she smiled and kissed his thin lips.


    I dont mind, Nian Junting snorted. His body was burning hot from her kiss. He held his breath for a while, then pushed her away and said, Im going to take a cold shower. I dont have a condom at home. Ill buy it tomorrow.


    Luo Sang looked at his ufortable look andid on the bed with a smile. Junting, you dont have to do this. I will not get pregnant that easily.


    I have to.


    Nian Junting went into the bathroom.


    Luo Sang looked in the direction of the bathroom. She suddenly thought of Yi Jingxi whom she had met that day, as well as how she and Nian Junting had gotten to know each other and fell in love with each other. She was filled with emotions.

 Chapter 1718. Honeymoon Trip

    Chapter 1718. Honeymoon Trip


    It was the eve of the summer holiday.


    Nian Xi had finally gotten her annual leave. That was the first time that she and Jiang Yuning were going on a serious wedding trip. Both of them took each other very seriously.


    Uncle Han also took the trip seriously. The day before the trip, Uncle Han was very worried, Is it okay for the two of you to go? I remember thest time when Mr. Jiang went to Kash, I have apanied him and his wife. Both of them are not good at traveling. They dont know how to take care of themselves.


    Its okay. Jiang Yuning shook his head seriously. Xixi will take good care of me.


    Uncle Han sighed. He could only sigh at how lucky his master was that he had his wife to take care of him even after he got married.


    Because it was a long journey to Ngari and the weather was cold, both of them prepared two big luggage of clothes. However, when they were about to go out, Nian Xi suddenly noticed two extra pieces of luggage.


    You are


    Jiang Yuning quickly exined, I brought two astronomical telescopes with a tripod and an equinox instrument.


    Arent you tired? Nian Xi blinked. So, the two of them were going to bring so manyrge boxes to Ngari?


    She began to doubt if the trip would go smoothly.


    Im not tired. Jiang Yuning shook his head, his eyes shining with excitement. I didnt bring any clothes when I was in Kash. I only carried binocrs.


    Nian Xi had nothing to say. Fortunately, both of them rented a car and traveled to Lhasa.


    It was nighttime when they took the ne to Lhasa. The temperature difference was huge, so Nian Xi immediately put on a ck jacket with extra fleece. Jiang Yuning was also wearing ck. They had bought it as a couple.


    After putting it on, Jiang Yuning was ted. It was the first time he had worn a couples outfit with Nian Xi. Xixi, you look so good like this. You look so handsome.


    Nian Xi was instantly choked with the words that she was about to say.


    Was it nice to praise a woman handsome?


    Xixi, let me help you with your luggage. Jiang Yuning didnt notice her mood at all. He took the big luggage from the luggage collecting belt and pushed three pieces of luggage by himself while Nian Xi pushed one.


    He didnt notice that many tourists who came to Tibet were secretly watching him.


    Nian Xi did notice. She had to admit that Jiang Yuning looked quite cool and handsome in his jacket. Besides, there was a scar on his face. His skin was not as fair as before, and he looked a little mischievous and masculine. Even she, who saw him every day, was attracted to him again.


    Tonight, she would strip off his clothes personally.


    Nian Xi thought to herself.


    After both of them got into the car and arrived at the hotel, Nian Xi went straight to take a shower. The air conditioner was on in the room, and she had purposely changed into a very sexy ck nightdress. She even sprayed a faint scent of iris flowers. After all, that was the first night of the honeymoon, so there should be some atmosphere.


    However, as soon as she came out, she saw Jiang Yuning carrying a pair of white binocrs and was preparing to go out.


    What are you Nian Xi was puzzled.


    Jiang Yuning was very excited. I just asked the boss. We can go up to the top floor. The weather is rather good tonight. I want to go watch the stars. You should rest early.


    Nian Xi,


    Probably because he had not been to such a high altitude for a long time, Jiang Yuning carried the binocrs and tripod and went out happily.


    Nian Xi lowered her head and looked at the ck nightdress that she had carefully put on. She silently clenched her teeth. Did the stars look better than her? Did the stars smell better than her?


    Depressed, she climbed into bed alone and decided to ignore him. In the next few days, she would only wear this nightdress unless he begged her. Otherwise, he could forget about it.


    Suddenly arriving at a strange ce, Nian Xi was very tired, but she could not fall asleep. She waited and waited until midnight, but she did not see Jiang Yuning return.

 Chapter 1719. Don’t You Think It’s Too Late to Say That

    Chapter 1719. Don��t You Think It��s Too Late to Say That


    Nian Xi was very angry. She wanted to lock the door and let him stay outside in the cold wind for the whole night. However, it was her first day out after all. It would be bad if he caught a cold. Especially since this was the hignd, they might have to go back home.


    So, she let it go.


    However, she was angry and couldnt sleep. She put on her coat and went to the roof to look for him.


    On the empty roof, Jiang Yuning sat alone on a small stool with a tripod. No one knew what he was doing. He looked at the night sky alone for a while, then took a notebook to write something down.


    He did not notice her when she walked over. Nian Xi saw that his notebook was full of data. It was so dense that she could not understand it anyway.


    He was too serious that he didnt notice it when she walked in front of him until Nian Xi leaned over to look through his binocrs. What exactly are you looking at?


    Xixi, why are you here? Jiang Yuning quickly stood up and held her shoulder. Do you want to see? Come, I can teach you. Lets look at the Moon first.


    He quickly adjusted the binocrs. It wasnt that Nian Xi hadnt yed with a telescope when she was young, but she had never seen one that could see so clearly. The Moon wasnt hazy, and its color varied from dark to light. She was curious at first but soon lost interest.


    Jiang Yuning, on the other hand, said with interest, Its not that pleasing to watch from here. Its not spacious enough. Well see it clearly when we get to Ngari.


    Yes, but its already one oclock. We still have to go to Pot Pce tomorrow. Should we go back to sleep? Nian Xi sighed in her heart. She was angry at first, but she could not stand in the way of his dreams since he was focused on science.


    Its already sote. Jiang Yuning was startled, then he touched his head apologetically. Im sorry, Xixi. I didnt expect time to pass so quickly. You shouldnt have waited for me. You should sleep first next time.


    I want to sleep too, but youll still wake me up when youe in at night without a room card, Nian Xi said unhappily. And whats your main purpose of the trip this time?


    To observe the stars, Jiang Yuning said without thinking. He had been undercover for the past three years and had not observed the stars seriously for a long time.


    Nian Xi,


    He had the guts to say it.


    Sensing that Nian Xis gaze was getting more and more strange, Jiang Yuning was stunned for a few seconds and quickly reacted. He stuttered, And and to apany you


    Nian Xi sneered. Dont you think its toote to say that?


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head dejectedly, I feel that I havent been to Tibet for a long time. Its a pity that I dont observe the stars in a ce like this, but Im mainly here to apany you. Ill observe the stars at night and apany you during the day. None will be neglected.


    Nian Xi sighed softly, feeling depressed. She thought to herself, what did he not neglect? He was neglecting her nightdress, alright? Did he know how heavy a nightdress was when she brought it from Xia City, You cant stay up until midnight. Besides, its very cold in Tibet, and theres still a long time to go. If you dont rest well, youll catch a cold easily. At that time, you wont be able to hold on even if you go to Ngari, let alone go to Kash.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned by her words and finally nodded. Xixi, what you said makes sense. Ive forgotten about this. Im not going to watch anymore. Lets go back.


    Both of them then returned to their room. Jiang Yuning went to take a shower while Nian Xiy on the bed. She was not worried about anything and fell asleep in a short while.


    The next day, she was woken up by a warm breath.


    She opened her eyes, and the nket was pulled down to her waist. Jiang Yuning stared at her as if he was looking at a delicious meal. Xixi, I didnt wake you up on purpose. It was an ident.

 Chapter 1720. A Good-Looking Person Like Me Will Always Have Romantic Encounters Wherever I Go

    Chapter 1720. A Good-Looking Person Like Me Will Always Have Romantic Encounters Wherever I Go


    Could it be an ident with his hunger look in the eyes?


    Nian Xi rubbed her sleepy eyes and saidzily, You have to look carefully. Im not a star, and Im not the Moon.


    Jiang Yuning blinked, feeling a little confused. He didnt care about that now, but he felt quite ufortable. Xixi, I miss you


    After he said that, he rubbed his furry head against her cheek.


    Nian Xi suddenly thought of Jiang-jiang at home. As expected of the Jiang. They really could soften her heart by rubbing at her.


    However, the nightdress issue fromst night woke her up instantly. She pushed his head away. Get up early and go to the Pot Pce. Get out of the way.


    Jiang Yuning was pushed to the side by her. He was stunned. It had probably been a long time since he had been treated so rudely by Nian Xi.


    He covered his body with the quilt.


    Nian Xi gave him a cold nce. If you dont change your clothes, Ill go to Pot Pce aler.


    Its no fun going alone, Jiang Yuning said softly.


    Thats probably not true. Maybe I can have a romantic encounter. Nian Xi pretended to be flirtatious and brushed her hair. A good-looking person like me will have romantic encounters wherever I go.


    After she said that, she opened her suitcase and deliberately took out a denim shirt to put on. She looked fashionable and youthful.


    Jiang Yuning quickly got up. He didnt dare to dy any longer in case he was left behind by Nian Xi. But he was still not very happy.


    During breakfast, he kept nagging, Xixi, since youre married, you should behave yourself. Next time dont say things like having a romantic encounter. Ill be sad and angry.


    Nian Xi watched him talk seriously while eating her Tibetan noodles. She didnt say a word.


    Both of them stayed in Lhasa for two days. On the third day, they went to Namtso.


    When they reached thekeside, there were cows, sheep, and snow sparrows everywhere.


    Nian Xi looked at the endlesske and the snow-covered mountains in the distance. She felt that they were iparably beautiful. As a tourist, she admired them for a while and began to take photos everywhere. Because the scenery was incredibly beautiful, any photo she took would be a professional picture. They were very beautiful.


    Basically, she had taken photos from 360-degree angles a few times before she finally looked for Jiang Yuning to take a photo of herself. In the end, she only found Jiang Yuning after searching for a long time. He was squatting on the ground, studying a rock.


    Could this be a meteorite? Nian Xi ran over and found that he was serious. She could not help but ask. After all, they had been married for some time. She listened to him talk about all kinds of meteorites and knew the price of meteorites, Wheres the meteorite from? The Moon or Mars?


    Jiang Yuning looked back nkly. No, I just feel that this rock is a bit like the limestone formed by geology tens of millions of years ago.


    Nian Xi,  since when do you know about geology?


    I guessed, Jiang Yuning said. Its a bit like the rock my dad put in his collection room. Anyway, I dont know what gift to give him, so I might as well pick up a rock and bring it back for him.


    Nian Xi waspletely speechless. If her dad was the same, wouldnt she save a lot of money?


    She sighed. Do you think it was that easy to pick up stones from tens of millions of years ago? Picking it up anywhere by ake. Many tourists usuallye here.


    No one else knows. They dont even know the origin of Namtsos crust. Let me tell you. Thiske was formed tens of millions of years ago. Jiang Yuning stuffed the stone into his pocket, But if its not, then let it be. Anyway, I brought my thought of him to him. I spent a long time searching by theke just now.

 Chapter 1721. Showed His Happiness for The First Time In WeChat Moments

    Chapter 1721. Showed His Happiness for The First Time In WeChat Moments


    Nian Xi was silent for a while, then asked, Are you going to find a meteorite for your momter?


    I can distinguish the meteorite myself, Jiang Yuning answered seriously. But Ill pay attention when I go to Ngari.


    Nian Xi,


    What else could she say? That was probably how it was to marry a scientist.


    Seeing that Jiang Yuning was going to continue his search, she quickly handed her phone to him. These are the photos I took just now. What do you think?


    After Jiang Yuning patiently flipped through each photo, he sincerely praised her. Xixi, your photography skills are amazing. I saw that the photographers in those photo exhibitions took almost the same photos as you.


    Nian Xi was quite happy to be praised. That was the kind of praise she wanted. Come, take some photos of me. Take a good one. Ill post it on WeChat momentster.


    After she said that, she began to pose in various poses. Jiang Yuning took seven to eight photos in one go.


    Nian Xi was not satisfied at all after looking at it. Can you take a better photo of me? This one makes my face look so big, and this one makes my legs look fat


    Jiang Yuning disagreed. No, I think every photo of you is so beautiful. The scenery is not even as beautiful as you.


    Nian Xi looked up at the sky and sighed. Although he said so, she still did not have the courage to post such photos on WeChat moments.


    Xixi, you have to have confidence in yourself, Jiang Yuning encouraged her. Arent you a very confident person?


    Youre right. Nian Xi nodded tearlessly. She was a confident person, but she was made to lose her confidence.


    After that, Nian Xi gave up on letting Jiang Yuning take photos. Instead, she found an angle to take a selfie.


    Looking at her selfie, Jiang Yuning suddenly realized that it was rare for the two of them to travel. He shouldnt be obsessed with picking up stones and looking at the stars. He should take more travel photos.


    So, he secretly took out his phone and started to take photos of Nian Xi.


    When it was time for dinner in the evening, Jiang Yuning started to post the pictures on WeChat moments.


    Nian Xi only saw Jiang Yunings pictures after she had checked into the inn. She almost vomited blood.


    He posted three WeChat moments in one go, and he updated nine photos in each post.


    Every photo had nothing to do with beauty. There were photos of her secretly taking selfies with her phone, pouting and acting cute. There were also photos of her putting on a scarf and putting on all sorts of postures


    In short, she either looked like she had a big face or old-fashioned.


    If he couldnt take a good picture of her, then so be it. The beautiful scenery behind her looked vulgar after he zoomed in on her.


    What made her even more speechless was that his new post was still: My most beautiful wife


    Below the post, Nian Juntingmented, You have the nerve to say that shes beautiful after taking such photos. I know that my sister isnt pretty, but shes not that ugly


    Xuanyuan Lang, Are you sure youre not ndering my sister-inw?


    Luo Sang, Did Nian Xi know that you sent these photos


    Uncle Han: Miss Nian looks very plum in your photos.


    Nian Xi wanted to cry, but she couldnt.


    Xixi, stop looking. Jiang Yuning noticed that she was staring at his WeChat moments, so he held her hand in embarrassment. Its my first time showing my happiness in WeChat moments. Dontugh at me.


    Nian Xi quietly raised her head and asked him, Have you looked at your WeChat moments?


    Jiang Yuning shook his head in confusion.


    Take a look. Nian Xi patted his shoulder heavily. Ill deal with you after youve done.


    Jiang Yunings heart trembled at her words. He lowered his head and roughly browsed through everyones messages. He raised his head tofort her. Xixi, those people have no taste. They dont understand your beauty.

 Chapter 1722. I’m Speaking the Truth, I Swear

    Chapter 1722. I��m Speaking the Truth, I Swear


    You have it then? Nian Xi asked with a fake smile.


    Jiang Yuning gulped. I understand. Youre good-looking in every way. You are perfect to me. I cant even tell which part of you isnt good-looking.


    Nian Xi,


    When did this guy be so good at talking?


    However, these words he just said had temporarily extricated him from the crisis.


    After a long period of silence, Jiang Yuning raised his hand. Im telling the truth, I swear.


    Nian Xi exhaled. Delete the photos.


    This is my first time showing my happiness Jiang Yuning whispered. He couldnt bear to be deleted the first time.


    Ive reposted some of my photos to you. You can repost them again, Nian Xi said.


    Okay.


    Jiang Yuning could only do this.


    He deleted all the WeChat moments he had posted before. Nian Xi had sent him a lot of photos. They were selfies. They were beautiful, but their expressions were almost the same, and they were overly beautiful. He felt that they were not as natural and vivid as the ones he had taken.


    However, in order to prevent Nian Xi from being unhappy, he silently buried his thoughts in his heart and quietly posted them.


    When Nian Xi saw his WeChat moments, she was slightly satisfied. Although she knew that her rtives would criticize him all at once again, it was still better than those ugly photos being posted on WeChat moments.


    ..


    At night, Jiang Yuning naturally went out to watch the stars. With her previous experience, Nian Xi was calm now. She gave him the room card and went to bed early.


    It was not until the fourth day that the two of them officially drove to Ngari. They took turns driving on the road. For safety reasons, both of them did not dare to rush and took their time. Fortunately, the scenery on the road was very beautiful, but the environment of the county where they slept at night was too bad.


    On the afternoon of the sixth day, Jiang Yuning had just driven for the whole morning. He was curled up in the back and sleeping in a daze when the car suddenly stopped.


    He opened his eyes and saw an SUV parked in front of the deserted road. A man and a woman were standing in front of the car and waving helplessly. A man was lying down under the car, repairing it.


    Whats wrong? Jiang Yuning rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily.


    Their car must have broken down. They seemed to be asking for a ride or something, Nian Xi unbuckled her seatbelt.


    No, Jiang Yuning said without thinking, This is our car.


    Nian Xi nced at him, amused. Although Tibet is well-managed now, its still not safe in such a remote ce, which there might be robbery or even rape cases.


    Jiang Yuning blinked and said innocently, Thats none of my business. Its fine as long as they dont rob us.


    Nian Xi choked. I can ignore it, but Im a police officer after all. Lets take a look first.


    She opened the window, and the man and woman walked over. When they got closer, they realized that both of them were quite young. The girl was only in her early twenties, and the boy should also be in his early twenties. Both of them were pretty good-looking.


    Both of them were stunned when they saw a woman driver.


    Hello, were tourists from Kash, but the car suddenly broke down on the way. Can we take a ride with you? We can pay for the ride. It doesnt matter if its a little more expensive, the man said helplessly, The car will take at least three hours to repair. Im afraid we wont be able to reach the next town by nightfall, so we can only sleep in the wilderness. I heard that there are wolves in this ce at night.


    Nian Xi frowned. She had heard about wolves in this area. How many of you need a ride?

 Chapter 1723. He Did Not Understand How Xixi Had Arranged It

    Chapter 1723. He Did Not Understand How Xixi Had Arranged It


    The two of us, the boy said, The driver has to wait for the rescue car to arrive. They wont be going ahead. They have to return to the previous town to repair the car. When we are in Tharchin and were about to return, they will arrange for a car to send us back.


    What he meant was that both of them had to follow them all the way to Tharchin, but the ce was not far either. They should be able to reach there the next day.


    Nian Xi hesitated for a moment and said, Let me see your ID cards.


    The two of them showed her their ID cards, and Nian Xi instantly memorized their names. One of them was called Zhao Yuchen. He was twenty-four years old this year and was from Yunnan, and the other was Ji Min. She was twenty-one years old, from Zhejiang.


    She had already guessed the situation and asked, Did you two get to know each other by carpooling together on the way to Kash?


    Zhao Yuchen and Ji Min looked at each other, and surprise shed in their eyes. A momentter, Zhao Yuchen nodded and smiled. Sister, you saw through it with one look. We met in Lhasa.


    Nian Xi thought to herself, Ji Min was careless. A girl in her early twenties dared to casually carpool with others to go to a remote ce like Kash. Wasnt she afraid that the man with her was going to partner a crime with the driver? Looking at this Zhao Yuchen, he looked honest and well-behaved, however, from his eyes, one could tell that he often flirted with girls.


    Sometimes, she was annoyed that these young girls did not know the danger in this world. However, as a police officer, she had to help them to the end to prevent any idents from happening to the girls. Alright, get in the car. Zhao Yuchen will sit in the front, and Ji Min will sit in the back.


    Jiang Yuning was unhappy when he heard that. He quickly popped his head out from behind. Darling


    He didnt understand how Xixi had arranged it. How could she let a boy sit in the front with her? Moreover, the person was quite young.


    Therefore, he had to call her darling loudly to let these two people know about their rtionship.


    Only then did Zhao Yuchen and Ji Min see him clearly from behind. Ji Min was especially stunned for a moment. She had only vaguely seen a man sleeping behind her, but she didnt expect him to be so delicate and clean, especially those eyes, it was as if he had been cleansed by spring rain.


    She had originally thought that Zhao Yuchen was considered handsome, butpared to the man in front of her, he was instantly much inferior.


    Nian Xis heart skipped a beat. How could she not see Ji Mins momentary loss of focus? She pondered for a moment and smiled. Alright, alright. I know you dont like men sitting with me. Ji Min, sit in front with me.


    Jiang Yuning didnt say anything else. However, he felt that the most appropriate solution for Nian Xi was to ask him to sit in the front.


    Two extra people suddenly appeared in the spacious car. Jiang Yuning didnt like it and felt ufortable. However, he also understood that because Nian Xi was a police officer, she always felt that she had the obligation to protect the safety of every citizen.


    However, Ji Min and Zhao Yufan were talkative. They warmed up the atmosphere along the way, especially Ji Min. She was especially talkative. Sister, why do you want to go to Kash? Dont tell me that you want to go on a pilgrimage too?


    To travel, not to go on a pilgrimage, Nian Xi said calmly. I dont believe in that. Do you believe in that?


    We dont either. We just have a yearning in our hearts and want to go take a look, Ji Min said sentimentally. Also to cleanse our hearts.


    The corner of Nian Xis mouth twitched. She didnt understand the thoughts of young people these days. Perhaps she was old.


    Zhao Yufan smiled and said, Ji Min, its too childish of you to say these things in front of this sister. I can tell that the sister has gone through a lot of things, so she doesnt believe in these things. By the way, sister, what is your job?

 Chapter 1724. How Could He Still Be in The Mood To Look At The Stars

    Chapter 1724. How Could He Still Be in The Mood To Look At The Stars


    Nian Xi smiled faintly.


    Zhao Yufan, on the other hand, was getting more and more excited as he spoke. When I look at how cool you look, sister, I can tell that you must be an elite businesswoman, awyer?


    Nian Xi smiled.


    Jiang Yuning was no longer calm. How could she smile at other men, especially the man sitting next to him who kept leaning forward? He said coldly and impolitely, My wife is a police officer and often catches bad guys.


    Really? I couldnt tell. You are amazing, sister. Zhao Yufan revealed a look of admiration.


    Jiang Yuning was annoyed by this person. He simply said, Can you guys be quiet? I just drove for a long time. I need to rest for a while. You guys keep chattering. Its very noisy.


    After he said that, the car instantly became quiet. Zhao Yufan and Ji Mins faces were filled with embarrassment, especially Zhao Yufan. He quickly said weakly, Im sorry, Big Brother. I didnt do it on purpose.


    Jiang Yuning covered his face with a nket and ignored him. However, every inch of his body showed that he didnt like the two of them.


    Nian Xi didnt mind. She would not easily feel sleepy if they were chattering, but since Jiang Yuning didnt like them, it was fine then.


    At seven oclock in the evening, the four of them arrived at a small county. Although it was a county, it was simr to a vige. The ce was pitifully small, and the living conditions were poor. They ate barley flour, butter tea, and a few pieces of beef jerky.


    Nian Xi felt sad as she ate. In the end, she quietly took out the cod sausages, canned sardines, and canned beef that Nian Junting had sent her the day before she left.


    At that moment, she understood that her older brother was her true love. She understood why he and Luo Sang didnt want toe.


    Tibet was a good ce, and the scenery was unparalleled. However, the journey to Ngari was too far away, and the further they went, the colder it became. She could only say that this ce wasnt suitable for a couple on their honeymoon, but it was toote for her to understand now.


    Come, eat some, Nian Xi shared with everyone.


    Wow, sister, you brought so much delicious food. Zhao Yufan looked envious and said politely, We will not eat it then. Its quite hard for you to carry it here.


    Nevermind. There are still a lot of it. Moreover, we will start to stroll around the mountain after arriving in Tharchin tomorrow. We cant carry too much, or the journey will be very hard, Nian Xi said with a sigh. Its fate that we met. Please have some.


    Thank you. Zhao Yufan and Ji Min began to eat.


    Jiang Yuning didnt like meat very much and ate very little. After eating quickly, he dragged Nian Xi back to her room.


    In the county, there wasnt much water. There wasnt enough hot water for a bath. At most, there was enough for her to wash her face and feet. After Nian Xi washed up, she went straight into bed. It was too tiring.


    Jiang Yuning sat next to her, bored. Xixi, do we still need to bring those two with us tomorrow?


    Otherwise, should dump them half of the journey? This ce is too remote, Nian Ximented. Theres not much signal. I havent yed with my phone all day. Im not used to it.


    Jiang Yuning ignored what she said and frowned. That Zhao guy is too attentive. He keeps calling you sister. He has a glib tongue. I dont like him.


    Nian Xi pretended not to hear him and reminded him, Arent you going to look at the stars?


    He was not in the mood to look at the stars anymore.


    Jiang Yuning was annoyed. Ill look at the stars after I talk to you.


    After a pause, he said aggrievedly, And since we came to Tibet, we havent

 Chapter 1725. I Forbid Anyone Else from Touching It Except My Wife

    Chapter 1725. I Forbid Anyone Else from Touching It Except My Wife


    After he said that, he deliberately flipped over the nket and looked up, and showed a look of do you know what I mean.


    Nian Xi was still annoyed by that nightdresss matter. She saidzily, Youve alreadye to a ce like Tibet. Why are you still thinking about that kind of thing? Didnt you hear what the little girl said? Cleanse your heart. My heart has been cleansed, and I have no desires. I feel like I can go home to Mount Emei and be a nun.


    Jiang Yuning was so anxious that he didnt know what to do. He was panicking. Thats what a little girl would say. Youre not. You have a family. If you want to be a nun, Ill go to Mount Hua and be a monk.


    Nian Xi chuckled. Now he knew how to talk.


    Alright, I wont joke with you anymore. After driving for so long, Im really tired. If you want to look at the stars, go ahead. Put on more clothes. Its only a few degrees outside. After saying that, Nian Xi covered herself with the nket and went straight to sleep.


    Jiang Yuning sat alone in a daze for a while. He originally wanted to do something with Xixi tonight and not see the stars. It seemed that there was no other way.


    He had no choice but to carry the telescope out again.


    It had to be said that Ngari was more suitable for stargazing. Jiang Yuning was holding a pen and calcting when a soft girls voice suddenly came from behind. Brother Jiang, what are you doing? Is this a telescope? Its so unbelievable


    Jiang Yuning automatically filtered out her voice and continued to write the form seriously. Only when a figure blocked him did he raise his head unhappily. Youre too big. Dont block me.


    Ji Min waspletely choked. That was the first time someone had said that she was too big. No, Im only about 45kg.


    Dont block me, Jiang Yuning repeated.


    Ji Min hurriedly moved away. She bent down and said, Brother Jiang, dont be angry. I just came upstairs and look at the stars. I feel that the starry sky here was very close to us and very beautiful. I didnt expect to meet you. We might have some misunderstanding between us. I didnt know that you had been driving for a long time in the afternoon. Thats why I spoke and disturbed you. Im sorry


    Im studying something. Dont disturb me. Jiang Yuning was racking his brain to write a form. There were always people chattering in his ear.


    Alright then, I wont disturb you. You do your work. Ill look at you from the side. Ji Min stared at his handsome face under the moonlight. It had been a long time since she had seen such a good-looking man, especially the scar on his face, why did such a person get married? But she was not worse than his wife. Especially his wife was older than her, and she was not as sweet and charming as her.


    However, she waited for a long time. When she saw that Jiang Yuning kept sketching on the notebook andpletely ignored her. Seeing that her neck was about to freeze, she leaned over to the telescope out of boredom. She had never seen such an advanced telescope before. It lookedpletely different from the ones she had seen before.


    However, just as she touched it, Jiang Yunings roar suddenly sounded from the side. Who told you that you can touch my telescope?


    He coldly pushed Ji Min away. This is my most private treasure. I forbid anyone to touch it other than my wife.


    I Im sorry. Ji Min was shocked. Her handsome and elegant face suddenly became fierce because of the scar. I didnt do it on purpose. I didnt touch it, and it did not even break


    Dont you know that you should not touch others things? Jiang Yuning was in no mood to stay there anymore. He packed the telescope and went back.


    Ji Min stomped her feet. She didnt expect this man to be so difficult to get along with.

 Chapter 1726. Creating Misunderstanding

    Chapter 1726. Creating Misunderstanding


    Nian Xi, who was half asleep, suddenly felt something cold roll into her bed. She trembled a little and opened her eyes. When she saw Jiang Yuning, she yawnedzily. Why are you back?


    I met an annoying woman, Jiang Yuningined.


    Mm, oh. Nian Xi was too sleepy. She turned over and fell asleep again.


    Jiang Yuning,


    He wanted toin more about it.


    ..


    The next day, as Nian Xi was looking at the snowy mountains in the distance and slowly brushing her teeth, she suddenly recalled something. After I fell asleepst night, did you tell me that some woman was bothering you?


    Jiang Yuning lifted his head from his suitcase gloomily.


    Nian Xi was puzzled. There is even woman bothering you in such deserted country?


    Ji Min from yesterday. Jiang Yuning pursed his lips. She even touched my telescope. Xixi, lets go today without them. I dont like them.


    Nian Xi raised her eyebrows. She was condemning silently. The girls these days didnt know how to avoid suspicion by not filtering with a married man. What else did she say?


    I dont know. She was chattering. After Jiang Yuning finished speaking in a low voice, he suddenly raised his head. Xixi, I think she has thoughts about flirting with me.


    Nian Xi was shocked. The way she looked at Jiang Yuning was strange. Had the sun rose from the west? He could even read a womans mind. Why didnt he notice that his childhood friend that he had been doing research together every day had a secret crush on him?


    Dont you believe me? Jiang Yuning was nervous. In fact, he was making it up because he didnt like Zhao Yufan. Zhao Yufan talked too much and kept talking to Nian Xi. So sometimes Nian Xi didnt even have the chance to talk to him. He had to think of a way to make her have some misunderstanding of them.


    You can even tell what others are thinking about you now? Nian Xi smiled, You used to be dumb in this kind of matter.


    Xixi, why are you so calm? Jiang Yuning frowned, Havent you always been overbearing and stingy? You wont allow any woman to have improper thoughts about me, and you dont allow me to get close to other women. Youve changed. I admire your fierce look in the past more.


    Nian Xi lowered her head and spat out the toothpaste in her mouth. She rolled her eyes, Dont worry. Ive seen through Ji Mins little tricks from the beginning. Ive been in the police station for so many years and have seen all kinds of people. She has an obedient and innocent appearance, but she has a wild and flirtatious heart in her bones. And that Zhao Yufan. His mouth is sweet, but to put it bluntly, he has a glib tongue. I dare say that they must have had an intimate rtionship.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned, his jaw dropped. He only dared to frame them secretly, but he didnt expect Nian Xi to be even sharper. No No way. They are still so young.


    Nian Xi was speechless. How is twenty-one or twenty-four to be considered young? Its you who is old.


    Jiang Yuning pouted gloomily and whispered, You talk as if youre not much older than them.


    What did you say? Nian Xis dangerous gaze swept towards him.


    No Nothing, Jiang Yuning hurriedly shook his head. Xixi, did they had an intimate rtionship? Then why arent they dating? Are you guessing blindly?


    Theres a type of young man and woman called friends with benefits. They only have an intimate rtionship and dont need to be responsible for it. They also dont need to date each other.


    Nian Xi said calmly, I said this because when we were chatting yesterday, although Zhao Yufan hid it well, his gaze was a little frivolous. If he met Ji Min, who was twenty-one years old, he would get physical with her. And Ji Min was able to seduce you in the middle of the night without avoiding suspicionwhich means that this girl is not well-behaved. When these two people get together, they will make out even on the first night.

 Chapter 1727. The Heater wasn’t Warm Enough. Wouldn’t I Freeze to Death if I Wore It?

    Chapter 1727. The Heater wasn��t Warm Enough. Wouldn��t I Freeze to Death if I Wore It?


    Jiang Yuning was dumbfounded.


    He didnt expect Nian Xi to think badly of the two of them, but that was what he wanted to see. So he quickly nodded, I think it makes perfect sense from the way you put it. Then we cant let them follow us. The air in the entire car will be polluted by them.


    Nian Xi shook her head and sighed, No matter what their character is, I shouldnt leave them just like that as long as they did not do anything bad. Its like when the police catch a criminal. We know that the criminal is extremely evil, but we have to protect the criminal before thew decides.


    Jiang Yuning was instantly depressed, but he quickly understood. That was probably Nian Xis professional habit.


    Although it was only a few days, he seemed to have understood Nian Xi a little better. Xixi, you are a good policewoman.


    The police have to protect the citizens. Nian Xi lowered her head and began to wash her face.


    As she washed, someone suddenly hugged him from behind. Jiang Yuning whispered in her ear, But you have to protect yourself too.


    I know. The reason I didnt let you sit in the front with me yesterday was that I was worried that they would rob or steal from us. I feel more at ease with you watching from behind.Nian Xi felt warm in her heart and turned around to kiss him.


    Jiang Yuning suddenly understood everything.


    At nine oclock in the morning, the four of them set off for Tharchin. Jiang Yuningpromised with Nian Xis arrangement after her exnation.


    After arriving at Tharchin in the evening, Nian Xi directly said to Ji Min and Zhao Yufan, Since weve arrived at our destination and are going to start strolling around the mountain tomorrow. Lets part ways from here.


    Dont, Zhao Yufan quickly said. Strolling around the mountain is a tough journey. It will be safer with more people around, and we can look after each other.


    Jiang Yuning frowned. He was worried that Nian Xi would agree again, so he was a little anxious. Nian Xi said calmly at once, Sometimes, having more people is a burden. We are newlyweds, so we prefer to be alone. Besides, to be honest I saw that Ji Min was a little short of oxygen when she came here. She took in a few bottles of oxygen on the way, so I advised her not to go up more. We could not bear the consequences if anything happens.


    After saying that, Nian Xi dragged Jiang Yuning to rent a tent. Summer was the peak season for tourism, so there were very few rooms. There were no rooms for those who camete, so they could only rent a tent and sleep outside.


    That night, Nian Xi wrapped herself in a sleeping bag and ate beef jerky in the tent. Jiang Yuning went to the car to get coconut water. About five minutester, he came in with a pile of things. There was something stuffed in his jacket, and there was a shlight inside, which made his face slightly red.


    Xixi, this Jiang Yuning took out a ck nightgown with a sling from his jacket. When did you bring it? I havent seen you wear it before, and you hid it so deep inside. If I hadnt gone to look for something, I wouldnt have found it.


    Nian Xis expression froze, then she expressionlessly picked up a bottle of coconut water and opened it. I wore it.


    Jiang Yuning was at a loss.


    The corner of Nian Xis mouth twitched coldly. I wore it on the first night I came to Tibet.


    It was so infuriating. She had dressed so beautifully that day, but he did not notice it. F*ck.


    Jiang Yuning was still at loss. He was so regretful. Why hadnt he noticed it? Then Why didnt you wear it again?


    Nian Xis jaw dropped and almost blurted out the truth. However, she hesitated for a moment, afraid that it would affect his love for stargazing. After all, she shouldnt stop mankinds exploration of the universe. It got colder and colder. There wasnt enough heat in the room. Wouldnt I freeze to death if I wore that?

 Chapter 1728. Xixi, Are You... Regretting

    Chapter 1728. Xixi, Are You... Regretting


    Jiang Yuning pursed his lips and thought for a while. It was indeed so.


    He felt cold even in he was in his fleece jacket today.


    He looked down at the ck nightdress in his hand in frustration. He regretted it so much. Why did he only pay attention to the stars back then? At least he should have gone to look at the stars after admiring the dress.


    Nian Xi saw that he had lowered his head and did not say anything. She felt that she had finally vented her anger. She drank up the coconut water, ate the beef jerky, and biscuits, thenid down and decided to sleep.


    You are sleeping so early, Jiang Yuning said bitterly. Its not even nine oclock now. Can you fall asleep?


    Nian Xi sighed. What else can I do if I dont sleep? Its minus one degree outside. Ill freeze to death if I go out. I cant use my phone, and I cant watch TV.


    The more she talked, the more she felt like crying.


    Aftering to Ngari, she felt as if she was living the life of an old man.


    Xixi, are you regretting? Jiang Yuning suddenly curled up beside her and whispered. It wasnt that he didnt notice that she was sometimes in a bad mood these days, especially when she had no signal on her phone. She often lost her temper.


    Regretting what?


    Coming to Tibet,ing to Kash. Jiang Yuning stared into her eyes, I came here once with my mother and her team. I know its tough, and it was seven or eight years ago. The signal was even worse, and the environment was even worse. When I came, many roads werent repaired. Maybe I should have decided toe to Kash on my own because I wanted to watch the stars. Actually, we should have just traveled to Lhasa. I cane here myself next time.


    Dont say such silly things. What kind of person am I? Im a policewoman. Ive been through all kinds of hardships. Its just a trip to Ngari. Others cane. Why cant I? Nian Xi was afraid that he would let his imagination run wild, so she quickly denied it, Im just not used to having no signal on my phone. I cant check WeChat or watch the news. I dont even know what major events have happened in the past few days since Ive been away. Has the ChinaUnited States trade war ended? Has my favorite star gotten married? Have the stocks I bought increased recently? Has my brother and sister-inw conceived a second child


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head. They had only been in Ngari for a few days. How was it possible that so many things had happened? Xixi, arent you worrying a little too much? I hope that you only think of me now, at least during the time we are in Tibet.


    His voice sounded a little wronged and innocent.


    Nian Xi suddenly felt guilty. It was probably because she had been too tired and suffered these past few days that she had forgotten what kind of feelings both of them had before departing.


    She turned around and quickly hugged his waist, Dont let your thoughts run wild. Ive never regretteding with you. Ive been single for so many years, and its not easy for me to finally spend time with my hubby. Although the journey is a little tough, being with you is always good. Its cold now, but who says that curling up in a sleeping bag isnt a kind of happiness? Who says that supporting each other in difficult times isnt happiness? Who knows?


    Jiang Yunings eyes grew brighter and sweeter as he listened. He lowered his head and hugged Nian Xi as he said sweetly, Xixi, what you said makes sense. Although theres no signal here, we can still do something else to pass the time.


    Youre not talking about me apanying you to see the stars, right? Nian Xis face stiffened, and she shook her head vigorously. Im not going. Im not going. Its freezing.


    Im not talking about seeing the stars. Jiang Yuning was anxious, and his ears were slightly red. Its much more interesting than seeing the stars.

 Chapter 1729. She Felt Like Crying

    Chapter 1729. She Felt Like Crying


    After he finished speaking, he silently pulled down the zipper of his jacket.


    Nian Xi instantly understood everything. She silently rolled her eyes at him. How had he treated her that night in Lhasa? Was she going to give it to him if he wanted it now?


    Did he think she, Nian Xi would easily give in?


    Moreover, it was such cold weather, and they were in a tent. It was simply freezing.


    Its cold. Nian Xis body shrank into the quilt with a look of resistance on her face.


    Jiang Yuning was anxious. It will not freeze much when the two of us are together. We can keep each other warm, and we wont get out of our sleeping bags. Xixi,e on. Well have to sleep in the temple tomorrow and the day after. We cant


    After saying that, Nian Xi turned her back towards Jiang Yuning.


    Jiang Yuning pouted. In the end, he could only lie down and chant Amitabha silently.


    ..


    The next day, both of them began to stroll around the mountain.


    Because they had to spend the night on the mountain to watch the stars, Jiang Yuning still had to carry his telescope and some food on his back. His luggage was quite heavy.


    Nian Xis physical strength was rather good. But after walking through the Zhire Temple, the altitude was getting higher and higher. She was getting a little tired. When she looked back, Jiang Yuning was somehow left behind. He was holding a climbing stick in his hand and was panting.


    Nian Xi stopped for a while and waited for him to approach her. Jiang Yuning was walking unsteadily, and he couldnt speak clearly. Xixi Im so tired Im so tired I wasnt this tired thest time I came here


    After saying that, he sat down on the roadside to rest.


    Nian Xi was speechless. He was young when hest came here, okay? How could his strength bepared to before? Fortunately, I make you go to the gym to exercise recently, or else you wouldnt be able to hold on from the foot of the mountain.


    Yes, yes Jiang Yuning panted as he drank the Red Bull. I still I still need to work out. Staying in theb always and not exercising is a problem.


    Rest for a while, Nian Xiforted him.


    Ten minutester, both of them went on again. After reaching an altitude of five thousand meters, Jiang Yuning almost needed to rest every few steps. Nian Xi was not much better either. Fortunately, both of them finally found a temple to rest, and got a bed when it was dark.


    At night, they slept in the bunk beds. Moreover, it was a room where men and women were separated. It was very simple and crude. When they turned over, the bed made a creaking sound.


    However, they could not care too much at that moment. It was already good enough to have a ce to rest.


    There were seven people in Nian Xis room. Three of them were pilgrims from India. The other one was a girl from Sichuan. Her face was yellowish and dark, which made her look old.


    Nian Xi was so scared that she hurriedly took out a mirror to look at her face. She didnt notice it before, but now she suddenly realized that her face had been yellowish ck in just these few days. Her lips and cheeks were dry, and she was having a rosy cheek due to the teau.


    She thought of Xiao Si, who was sent to the great northwest by Nian Junting a few years ago. Back then, he looked like he had been through a lot.


    She felt despair. But when she saw the devout faces of the Indians, she solemnly told herself that pilgrims were sacred and that she shouldnt care about her appearance at this time.


    However, when she woke up the next morning and saw Jiang Yuning, her heart was broken. She was dizzy from the climb the day before and did not notice it. Her once handsome-looking husband was gone.


    Her hubby, who had been slightly tanned in Samoa, was now even darker. His face was as dry as a terraced field.


    She looked at him and felt like crying.


    Xixi, whats wrong? Jiang Yuning was confused by her sad gaze.

 Chapter 1730. Aunty, Uncle, Did You Go to Africa Without Letting Me Know?

    Chapter 1730. Aunty, Uncle, Did You Go to Africa Without Letting Me Know?


    Maybe I was moved when I saw so many devout pilgrims kowtowing to the mountain. Nian Xis lips twitched.


    Jiang Yuning realized. Yeah, Im quite moved. Dont tell me youre going to kowtow around the mountain too?


    Nian Xi,


    Damn you.


    By the way, why do you look so pale and have dark circles under your eyes? Until what time did you watch the starsst night? Nian Xi couldnt help but ask.


    Jiang Yuning perked up when he heard that. I observed it until two oclock in the morningst night. I can see the stars much clearer here than in other ces and found that I have a new understanding of the stars. I have to write a long thesis when I go back.


    Nian Xi silently thought how could he get such a deep understanding just by looking at the stars? She didnt know anything about that anyway, so she could only agree. Mm-hmm, then its not a wasted trip.


    Xixi, can we stay on the mountain for one more night? Jiang Yuning suddenly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, Well sleep in the tent tonight.


    Okay, Nian Xi clenched onto her teeth and agreed.


    She endured it for the sake of mankinds astronomical progress.


    The two of them stayed on top of Kash for three days. When they went down the mountain, Nian Xis legs were shaking, and Jiang Yuning was in an even worse condition. Because he didnt get enough rest from stargazing at night, he started to have a fever on the way back to Lhasa.


    Nian Xi drove to Lhasa and admitted him to the hospital for two days. Jiang Yuning, who had recovered from the fever, felt very guilty and grabbed Nian Xis hand to apologize, Xixi, Im sorry. It was supposed to be a honeymoon. Its all my fault that we are in such a state. Next time, Ill go with the team if I want to observe the stars.


    Nian Xi shook her head with a bitter smile. How can I be at ease with you like this? I am with you this time. Youve been out on the teau at night to watch the stars at a few degrees below zero. What if Im not around?


    Jiang Yuning lowered his eyshes in silence. Sometimes I cant help it. The environment in some stargazing ces is indeed extreme. Ill reduce my trips to such ces in the future.


    Remember what you said. Well buy some gifts for our family today, and go back tomorrow, Nian Xi touched his cheek after saying that.


    ..


    The next day, the nended at Xia City Airport after four hours of flight.


    They had too much luggage, so they had no choice. Nian Junting was busy working in hispany. In the end, Luo Sang took Little Apple along and came to pick them up with her car.


    She didnt want to bring Little Apple along, but Nian Xi said that she would bring Little Apple a lot of beef jerky. So, Little Apple insisted oning along to eat the beef jerky.


    Both of them waited at the airport for half an hour. When they finally saw Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning pushing a few suitcases out of the airport. The mother and son were both dumbfounded.


    About a week ago, they saw Nian Xi and Jiang Yunings WeChat moments. Nian Xi was still standing by theke in a colorful cotton shawl. She looked very charming and beautiful. Of course, the scenery was also beautiful.


    After asking where they were, Nian Xi said that they were on the way to Kash.


    At that time, Luo Sang was very envious of them. She secretly thought that she would bring Nian Junting to Kash next time, and Nian Junting agreed to that.


    However, it had only been a short while. How did both of them be like this? Their skin was dry and dark, and their skin blushed. Nian Xis dry hair looked like straws, and Jiang Yuning, who used to look like he was only in his early twenties, looked even older than Nian Junting.


    Luo Sang looked at them with aplicated gaze. Little Apple asked innocently, Aunty, uncle, did you go to Africa without letting me know? Is there yak meat in Africa?

 Chapter 1731. This Kid was Sharp in His Words Just Like His Father

    Chapter 1731. This Kid was Sharp in His Words Just Like His Father


    Before Nian Xi could speak, she felt as if thousands of arrows had pierced through her heart because of his words.


    Little Apple was gloomy. Did you guys forgot to buy me the yak meat?


    Jiang Yunings face was slightly hot. He bent down and said gently, We went to Tibet and brought you a lot of yak meat. It is in the luggage. Can I give it to youter?


    Thats great! Little Apple jumped up and down happily. But is the sun always so hot in Tibet? My mom said that she and my dad are going to Tibet in a few days. Will they turn out like this?


    After saying that, Little Apple was a little scared. He quickly held Luo Sangs hand and said, Mom, why dont you go after you attend my first-grade entrance ceremony? If you be like aunty, Ill Ill lose my reputation if I bring you along


    Luo Sang pinched his cheek and said angrily, Dont talk nonsense.


    She paused, then asked Nian Xi, Didnt I buy you sunscreen? You and Yuning both look thinner. Didnt you eat well or sleep well?


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and was too embarrassed to exin why their honeymoon had be like this. Nian Xi said helplessly, We stayed in Kash for many days. The weather there was too cold, and the ultraviolet rays were too strong. Plus, it was tough to move around the mountain, so we ended up like this.


    Little Apple nodded as if he understood. No wonder you got darker. Its different from my parents skin which was glowing every time they secretly go on a trip without me.


    Little brat, how many times have you poked fun of me today? Nian Xi bent down and rubbed his chubby face.


    Little Apple raised his hand and surrendered, Im sorry, aunty. There are some benefits when you are dark. Just like how you used to have a little freckle on your face, but now it was not visible anymore. Also, you used to always stay upte to work and have dark circles under your eyes. Now, all of them are gone. Its simply too magical. Its not so magical even if you were to go to Korea.


    Nian Xi was so angry that she almost vomited blood. This kid was just like his father. Not only did he hurt her by mentioning her past, but also her condition now. She shouldnt have brought him yak meat all the way.


    Sure enough, you are your fathers son. You are his biological son, Nian Xi clenched her teeth and said then she said to Luo Sang, Sister-inw, Kash is such a nice ce. Its so sacred. After going there, I feel like Ive been bathed in the light of Buddha. I feel like Ive been reborn, and my soul has been cleansed. I feel like I can live another 500 years. You must go and see it. If you dont, youll regret it for the rest of your life.


    Luo Sang,


    She stared at Nian Xis dry cheeks for a while, then couldnt help herself from saying, Xixi, its good that youre back. Ill give you a hydrating skincare set.


    Nian Xi was speechless.


    When Luo Sang drove them back to the vi, it was already six oclock.


    Uncle Han had been waiting in the yard for a long time. When he saw theming back, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, It must be a long journey. Then, he helped them carry their luggage upstairs.


    Nian Xi threw herself onto the sofa. Jiang-jiang, who had not seen its owner for some time, jumped onto the sofa enthusiastically and licked her cheek with all his might.


    Its so dirty. Nian Xi pushed Jiang-jiang away in disgust. Jiang-jiang wagged his tail sadly.


    Little Apple immediately hugged Jiang-jiang, feeling sorry for him. Heined, Aunty, why are you so fierce to Jiang-jiang? He hasnt seen you for a long time. Moreover, he licked your face until it wasnt so dry anymore.


    Nian Xi was hurt again by his words. She didnt lie down anymore and went upstairs to take a shower. After taking a shower, she applied ayer of lotion on her skin. Then she dried her hair and applied essential oil to it. She even did a full set of skincare therapy for her face before going downstairs.

 Chapter 1732. Felt That He Was the Most Handsome Man

    Chapter 1732. Felt That He Was the Most Handsome Man


    Nian Junting was downstairs and had gotten off work. He nned to take his wife and son home after dinner. When he saw his sister, he wasnt surprised, but took out two cards from his wallet, Dont say that your brother doesnt care about you. These are the salon cards I had registered for you two days ago. Women shouldnt neglect themselves just because theyre married. After all, youre going to have a wedding during the summer vacation. I cant let my rtives think that you went on a mission in Africa and brought back an African hubby.


    Nian Xi staggered on the stairs and barely managed to stand up.


    She clenched her teeth and red at Nian Junting.


    Was it necessary for the father and son to take turns to hurt her with their words?


    Do you think what I said doesnt make sense? Nian Junting asked calmly, If you dont want it, Ill give it to your sister-inw.


    I want itI want, Nian Xi snatched the salon card.


    Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head in confusion and said, She looks fine to me. I think Nian Xi looks very beautiful like this.


    Nian Junting silently stared at his face for a few seconds, then waved his hand with a weird look in his eyes and said, No, I cant look at her anymore. Its too eye-catching. When I look at you, I feel like Im at the most handsome man in the world.


    The others were speechless.


    Jiang Yuning touched his face in a puzzle, then looked at his wife and asked, Xixi, whats wrong with me?


    Nian Xi coughed and said, Nothings wrong with you. Your skin is a little dry. Ill buy you some hydrating skincareter. Eat your food. You can leave after that, brother.


    I dont want to leave. Your sister-inw wants to go to Kash, so she wants to hear more about your trip. Nian Junting nced at his wife with a smile and said, Luo, should we start booking the ne tickets?


    Luo Sang nced at Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning gloomily and said, Hubby, I think we should go somewhere else. Lets go to the hot spring in Japan.


    Nian Junting shook his head and said, The hot spring is too shallowpared to going to a ce like Kash. Kash is one of the four sacred mountains of Buddhism. If you dont go, youll regret it for the rest of your life.


    Yes, sister-inw, Nian Xi said, You should go. If you dont go, youll regret it.


    The corner of Luo Sangs mouth twitched for a while, then she said, Thank you, but Ill skip that. Actually, I dont believe in Buddhism. Lets go around Lhasa. My soul doesnt need to be cleansed. Im cleansed by your brother every day. Hubby


    After saying that, she looked at Nian Junting with a weak and helpless gaze.


    Nian Junting patted her head and whispered into her ear, Go back and make it up to me. And I will agree to your request. Otherwise, if I let you do what you want. I cant control myself from pampering you.


    Luo sang felt like crying. She knew what he was talking about.


    However, she had to finish what she had sown.


    ..


    After dinner, Nian Xi suddenly felt dizzy when she stood up. Fortunately, Jiang Yuning quickly held her preventing her from falling.


    Xixi, whats wrong? Jiang Yuning was a little flustered.


    I dont know. I suddenly feel a little dizzy, Nian Xi shook her head hard, but she still felt dizzy.


    Nian Junting frowned and said, Go to the hospital. Maybe youve been in Tibet for too long, and you didnt eat or sleep well, so youre not feeling well.


    Its okay, Nian Xi waved her hand and said, Maybe I didnt rest well or eat well. Ill be fine after taking some rest.


    Ask Doctor Han toe over and take a look, Luo Sang said worriedly.


    Alright, Nian Junting nodded and made a phone call.

 Chapter 1733. Is My Child That Strong?

    Chapter 1733. Is My Child That Strong?


    Nian Junting and Luo Sang, who were about to leave, had no choice but to stay and waited for Doctor Han.


    About forty minutester, Doctor Han arrived in his car. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nian Xis expression and said, You dont look well. Have you been too tired from your trip to Tibet?


    Jiang Yuning felt guilty. If he hadnt insisted on going to Kash, Nian Xi might not have been so tired, Its all my fault. I had a fever not long after we returned from Kash. Nian Xi took care of me in the hospital for two days. Im sure she didnt rest well.


    Nian Junting immediately frowned, No wonder you guys dyed your return. You shouldnt have gone to that ce if you werent strong enough, and you shouldnt have stayed there for so long. You only cared about yourself. Didnt you think that you would make your wife tired?


    He rarely spoke harshly to Jiang Yuning, but now he was angry.


    The teau was not an ordinary ce. Some people had identally lost their lives there.


    However, he knew his sister well. She was not particrly interested in ces like Kash. She was just there for side-seeing. Jiang Yuning, on the other hand, was different. His original purpose was to look at the stars. Scientists like them often did not care about anything for the sake of scientific research. Even though it was for research, he did not agree with that method.


    Jiang Yuning was reprimanded until his face was gloomy. He lowered his head and bit his lips. His eyshes trembled slightly, and he was ming himself.


    Nian Xi could not bear to watch her hubby in such a situation. Forget about it, brother. It was my suggestion to go to Tibet. He also exercised hard before going, but he was not feeling well on the way back. Doctor Han, why dont you take my pulse? Do you need to prescribe some Chinese Medicine?


    Thats what I was thinking too. Give me your hand. Doctor Han sat beside Nian Xi and reached out to take her pulse.


    Half a minuteter, he frowned deeply. A minuteter, he took the pulse of her other hand, and his frown became deeper.


    Jiang Yuning waited anxiously. But he did not dare to say anything, not wanting to disturb the doctor.


    Two minutester, Doctor Han retracted his hand, and his gaze was meaningful. You guys are really lucky.


    What Whats wrong? Jiang Yuning stammered nervously. His lips were slightly pale. Is there something wrong with Xixis body? Is she in danger? Luckily, she came back in time and could be sent to the hospital for treatment.


    The television was had such a plot. He had a big drama ying in his mind.


    The corner of Nian Xis lips twitched. That cant be.


    Doctor Han didnt know whether tough or cry, I say that youre lucky because Miss Nian might be pregnant. Fortunately, Miss Nian has a good foundation. Otherwise, with such a tough trip to Ngari. Furthermore, she was not able to rest well after being tired from traveling every day. If it were others, they would already experience a miscarriage. Although Miss Nians pulse is weak, at least the fetus doesnt show any signs of miscarriage.


    Everyone was stunned. Jiang Yuning waspletely dumbfounded. Nian Xi was in a daze as she touched her lower abdomen. It was t, and she had lost weight because the journey was tough. However, she could not believe that there was a small life inside it.


    Doctor Han, you you didnt misdiagnose, right? Nian Xi stuttered. Thats impossible. Am I that strong? Ive been through so much recently while I was pregnant. Is my child that strong?


    Doctor Han smiled. Dont you believe in my medical skills? You are pregnant. It should be more than a month, but its better to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to make sure the child is healthy.

 Chapter 1734. Will the Baby Take Away Her Love For Him

    Chapter 1734. Will the Baby Take Away Her Love For Him


    Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning were both in a daze.


    Jiang Yuning had only been back for more than a month. Both of them had nned to have a wedding first and then have a happy honeymoon for half a year. However, they didnt expect to be pregnant so soon.


    At that moment, Luo Sang suddenly said mysteriously, Pregnant for more than a month. Could it be that you were pregnant when you were in Samoa?


    As she said that, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning blushed at the same time. When they were in Samoa, they didnt have any desires, except for the first time they met


    I didnt know that, Nian Junting said with a faint smile, You both seemed to be injured that time, especially Nian Xi. She even hurt her lower abdomen. You put in a lot of effort.


    Nian Xi was embarrassed. It wasnt what he thought it was. It wasnt.


    But how could she exin it?


    However, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuning had taken some medicine at that time. If she was conceived during that time, it wouldnt have affected the baby, would it?


    Her face turned pale again. It was hard to exin.


    Luo Sang thought that she was embarrassed, so sheforted her, Its understandable. After all, youve been apart for so long, and cant help yourselves.


    I didnt mean anything, Nian Junting said faintly, You should be more careful next time. Your healthes first.


    After saying that, he nced at Jiang Yuning and reminded him, Dont just pay attention to your feelings.


    Jiang Yunings face blushed. He wanted to hide, but he couldnt exin himself.


    Hmm, alright. Ill go for a checkup first thing next morning, Nian Xi asked vaguely, Doctor Han, the baby shouldnt have any malformations, right?


    Youre afraid that the baby wont develop well if he doesnt eat and sleep well in Tibet, right? Doctor Han said with a smile, In fact, under normal circumstances, you might have a miscarriage, but apart from the weakness of his pulse, I dont see any signs of miscarriage. You should rest well during this period. Dont tire yourself. At the same time, keep up with the nutrition. Also, dont eat anything when you go for a check-up tomorrow morning.


    After Doctor Han gave her instructions, Luo Sang told a lot of things to take note of when pregnant before she left with Nian Junting and Little apple.


    With that sudden urrence, Nian Xi was absent-minded, and Jiang Yuning was in a daze. He couldnt understand how did he be a father.


    He had nevere into contact with a creature like Little Apple. He only knew about Little Apple. Little Apple was always pestering him to build the transformer armor.


    He had analyzed it with Little Apple. He couldnt make that kind of thing for a child, but the little guy wouldnt listen to him. So, he was annoyed whenever he saw Little Apple.


    Would his baby be like this in the future?


    And would the baby take away her love for him? He hadnt had enough time with Xixi.


    Xixi Jiang Yuning leaned his head on Xixis shoulder. When you have a baby, Will you love me more, or will you love the baby more?


    Nian Xi was worried, but when she heard that he was jealous, she was speechless. Is that something you should say as a father?


    Being scolded, Jiang Yuning rubbed his short ck hair. Im not ready to be a father.


    Im at a loss too, Nian Xi muttered, But since were married, its normal to have children. My ssmates already have children. Im just a little worried about whether this child is healthy or not. I hope it wasnt conceived when we were at Samoas vi.

 Chapter 1735. Do We Have to Abort It?

    Chapter 1735. Do We Have to Abort It?


    Jiang Yuning was so embarrassed that his face blushed. Are you afraid that others will know how we conceived it?


    Nian Xi looked at him with a wry smile. Did you forget you took some medicine that time? Its very easy for a child to be deformed in that kind of situation.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned, and his face instantly turned pale.


    Before this, he was still worried that the child would take away her love for him and break up the sweet life between him and Nian Xi. But all he felt was lingering fear at that moment.


    Although the child might only be a little bean now and had just sprouted, he suddenly felt an indescribable panic.


    Its all my fault. We should have taken a birth control pill back then. Nian Xi was also very frustrated. At that time, she had been busy arresting Manda. Besides, both of them were injured, so they did not have time to buy the medicine. Later, she had forgotten about that matter. If it was that time, we could not take that risk.


    Wh What do you mean? Jiang Yuning was at a loss. Do we have to abort it?


    What if the baby is born deformed? Itll be crueler to give birth to it. Dont forget that I was hospitalized several times after that, and I took a lot of medicine. Nian Xi had seen too many deformed babies that were caused by taking flu medicine or drinking alcohol.


    Jiang Yuning was also silent. Thinking about the possibility of losing the baby, he felt like ten thousand ws scratching on his heart. It hurt, but he could onlyfort Nian Xi. Dont worry. Well go for a check-up tomorrow


    The two of them didnt sleep much at night. They had nned to sleep until the sky turned dark after returning from Tibet, but both of them had insomnia. Jiang Yuning didnt sleep at all. At six oclock, he started to get up and wash up, preparing to go to the hospital.


    When Uncle Han got up to make breakfast, he was stunned to see both of them preparing to go out with dark circles under their eyes, Even if you were excited to have a baby, theres no need to go so early. The hospital is not opened until 8:30 a.m. It wont take long to get to the hospital. Eat your breakfast first.


    Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They werent happy at all. The two of them had been anxious the whole night and didnt sleep well, but they really couldnt tell outsiders about this.


    Uncle Han, well just go out and have some food, Nian Xi said weakly. And we might have to do a blood test. Well have to do it on an empty stomach.


    Right, I almost forgot, Uncle Han said with a smile. Then be careful on the road.


    When they left, Uncle Han muttered, Its the first time these two kids have be parents. They were probably so excited that they didnt sleep at all.


    ..


    When they arrived at the hospital, both of them were the first to see the obstetrician. The obstetrician first asked Nian Xi to do a test and an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that she was five weeks pregnant.


    Nian Xi heaved a huge sigh of relief when she saw the results. If it was that night in Samoa, it would have been seven weeks. It seemed that she was pregnant after she came back.


    However, both of them were still a little uneasy. When they took the results to the doctor, the doctor looked at the results of the test. He smiled and said, The baby is quite healthy, but the mother is experiencing slight anemia and low blood sugar. Take some supplements when you get back. Miscarriage will easily happen in the first three months if you cant keep up with your nutrient.


    Nian Xi asked, Doctor, am I five weeks pregnant?


    Isnt it written on the sonogram? The doctor smiled and said, Next time,e for the monthly check-up on time. Remember to get a letter to give birth.


    Thank you, Doctor. Nian Xi was very grateful. When she came out with the test results, her legs were trembling.


    Xixi, how is it? Jiang Yuning, who was waiting outside, came up and held her nervously. The baby


    It wasnt conceived on that day, Nian Xi said and hugged him tightly. Thank God, I am pregnant for five weeks. I got pregnant after returning to Xia City.

 Chapter 1736. His Xixi wanted to be a mother

    Chapter 1736. His Xixi wanted to be a mother


    Thats Thats great. Jiang Yunings nervous face turned red as he stuttered, I knew that the babies who went to Tibet were not ordinary babies.


    Nian Xi chuckled, Thats true.


    Yes, yes. Jiang Yuning nodded his head vigorously and giggled foolishly, And Buddha must have been blessed as well. You wanted us to go to a divine mountain, so we climbed while we begged. Didnt you say that you prayed for your family when you climbed?


    Nian Xi was slightly stunned, and she suddenly lowered her head in embarrassment, Actually, when I spent the night at a temple in Kangrinpoche, I begged the bodhisattva, hoping that in the future, the two of US could grow old together and have a child. But I begged for next year, and I didnt expect the child to be given away so quickly.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned. He had never thought of such a thing. Xixi, do you like children?


    I do. Nian Xi nodded. Her eyes were a little lonely. All these years, when you werent around, I saw my friends getting married and having children. I was actually quite envious.


    Jiang Yunings gaze softened. So his Xixi wanted to be a mother. Since that was the case, then he would also be a father.


    What about you? You dont want? Nian Xi raised her head and asked.


    I havent thought about that for the time being, right? Jiang Yuning touched the back of his head in embarrassment, I want to spend more time with you. After all, weve been separated for too long. But if youre pregnant, then so be it. It might be nice to have another little life. Ill be a good father, and then Ill teach it to be a better scientist than I am, okay?


    He suddenly became excited. Yeah, why did I forget that the most important thing to contribute to the mothend is to reproduce and nurture better scientists for the Mothend?


    Uh Youre not going to have a lot of children all of a sudden, are you? Nian Xi suddenly became nervous. I was nning to have one.


    Thats not true. We cant focus on quantity. What we rely on is quality. Jiang Yuning patted his chest and straightened his back, If we give birth to one, the outstanding genes will be concentrated on one body. If we give birth to more, the outstanding genes will be scattered. Perhaps it will not be so outstanding. I understand this logic.


    Nian Xi:


    You understand? You know nothing. How could there be such a perverse logic? Your father is a biologist after all. Do you have any scientific basis for saying such things.


    Uh What if our children inherit more from me and are not that sensitive to science? Nian Xi said tactfully. It should be that they were not sensitive at all, but she did not want to discourage Jiang Yunings enthusiasm.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned.


    Nian Xi quickly patted his shoulder and said, Dont worry. Dont worry. Although I might not be a scientist like you, I can be a police officer. I can rush into space and be an astronaut or something like that. or I can be a brave and battle-ready policewoman. In any case, outstanding genes like ours all contribute to the country. Its just that the content of the contribution is different.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned by her words. After a while, he nodded in a daze. Thats fine too. Your genes are also very outstanding.


    Yes, yes. Nian Xi nodded. But for now, lets feed our countrys hope for the future. I think it might be hungry.


    Jiang Yuning thought for a few seconds before he reacted. See, I forgot. Lets go. Lets eat breakfast. Lets go to your favorite breakfast restaurant.


    The two of them held hands and slowly walked toward the main entrance. This road was still very long. The two of them seemed to be able to walk for a very, very long time, but both of them were filled with hope.


    PS: Nian Xis story has officiallye to an end. In a while, there will be even more An Lans story. In An Lans story, many old friends will appear, such as Yan Su, Liu Xi, and Xuanyuan Lang.


    Actually, everyone might not know much about An Lan. You can read what you want to read. If you dont want to read it, Ill say goodbye to everyone. Actually, this is my first time writing awyers essay. In addition, the male lead is a judge, so there will be a lot of legal issues involved. I dont really understand, but Ive been reading books on rtedws recently, hoping to write them better. But there will be loopholes. Thank you for your understanding.

 Chapter 173751. can’t stand staying where Xu Baohan has breathed for even a moment

    Chapter 173751. can��t stand staying where Xu Baohan has breathed for even a moment


    Xia City High Peoples court.


    Awsuit was nearing its end.


    The autumn sun shone through the windows,nding on the fair face of the chief judge, Xu Baohan, who was in the middle of the high tform. The lines on the side of his face were cold and hard, but he was still handsome and smooth. Even if he lowered his head, the bridge of his nose was still perfectly straight, however, the aura around him exuded an invible dignity and nobility.


    At this moment, his lips were perfectly shaped as he announced the oue of this trial.


    the defendant, Lin Hao, caused the death of his wife, Chen Juanqi, in the parking lot. His criminalw has already vited the criminalw and constitutes a crime of causing a traffic ident. However, due to a problem with the brakes of the car, hemitted a negligent crime. ording to Article 115, Paragraph 2, and Article 25, paragraph 2 of the criminalw of the Peoples Republic of China, he was sentenced by Lin Hao to three years in prison with a suspended sentence of four years


    Im not convinced. Before he could finish his sentence, the intiff, Chen Liang, suddenly stood up from his chair and roared, That bastard Lin Hao clearly did it on purpose. Why is he only sentenced to three years? This kind of person should die


    Silence, Xu Baohan warned coldly, intiff, this is a court. If you dont keep quiet, your actions will constitute contempt of court. If you have any objections to the trial, you can continue to appeal, but this time, the court will uphold the original sentence.


    Uncle Chen, calm down. An Lan hurriedly went over to pull Chen Liang back.


    Chen Liang gritted his teeth in anger until Xu Baohan finished reading the final result and stood up to leave. Chen Liang suddenly pushed An Lan away, Stay away, this is all your fault. If I knew this, I wouldnt have hired you. You are useless. Ive seen so manywyers, but Ive never seen someone as trashy as you. My daughter was clearly killed by that guy, but in the end, he was only sentenced to three years. If you cant bring the criminal to justice, what kind ofwyer are you? Do you know that in order to fight thiswsuit, our entire family has basically gone bankrupt


    An Lan was forcefully pushed onto the table behind her. After a long while, she couldnt straighten her back due to the pain. However, when she looked up, Chen Liang had already run over to make trouble for Lin Hao, but his wife forcefully pulled him back.


    It wasnt until the Intern Yan Wen hurriedly held her up that she asked, Lawyer An, are you alright?


    An Lan pursed her thin lips and shook her head, at this moment, the defendantswyer Qi Junwen walked over with a smile and said, Lawyer An, you, who is known as the undefeatable legend in the industry, arent you any better? I only realized that youre just so-so when I really fought with you. TSK TSK, Im really sorry. This is already the second trial. I think you guys should give up too. To be honest, up until now, were still very willing to settle things with you guys privately. After all, the Chen familys situation is too miserable. The Chen Liang couple are already so old. Its better to leave some money for their retirement to live the rest of their lives.


    Qi Junwen left with Lin Hao proudly.


    Yan Wen was so angry that she spat at his back, Rubbish, everyone in the industry knows that he specializes in ck-hearted cases. Lawyer An, I told you, you shouldnt have taken this case. This time, the presiding judge is Xu Baohan. Ourw firmswyers have never won a case against him. His horoscope is not on good terms with us.


    An Lan was originally filled with depression, but after hearing her words, she didnt know whether tough or cry. Aswyers, do we still believe in superstitious things like the character eight?


    Yan Wen shrugged. Then how do you exin the reason why weve been defeated by Xu Baohan Time and time again? Recently, weve been losing cases, and if this continues, fewer and fewer people will represent Zhenyuan.


    An Lan was also flustered at the mention of this. Lets go, lets leave this ce first. I cant stand staying where Xu Baohan has breathed for even a moment.


    PS: An Lans chapter started before Susu and Mo Liuxi got married, not after Xixi got pregnant.

 Chapter 1738. Lawyer an, you have fully exposed your narrow-minded character..

    Chapter 1738. Lawyer an, you have fully exposed your narrow-minded character..


    Yan Wen picked up the documents and followed, she took small steps and said, Lawyer An, dont say that. Actually, Judge Xu is quite handsome. Its not an exaggeration to say that hes the youngest, most handsome judge in the open a court session. Im still willing to stay in the same ce with him. Watching him at the open a court session is like watching a Korean drama after a beauty treatment


    Before she could finish her sentence, An Lan gave her a rude look and said, Yes, this Korean drama will affect your financial ie. Weve worked hard for a month to prepare for thewsuit, and now your bonus has been canceled because of the loss of thewsuit.


    Yan Wen caught up with her and cried without tears, Being handsome is nothing! Id better go back and draw a circle to curse him.


    As she walked towards the elevator, An Lan stopped in her tracks as she passed by the washroom. Wait for me downstairs. I need to go to the washroom.


    After going to the washroom, An Lan received a call from her best friend, Li Shuang. What happened? Did you win thewsuit? Do you want to treat me to a big meal tonight? I had a fight with my hubby and I dont want to see his ugly face at home. Shall we go out and have some fun?


    Im not in the mood. I lost thewsuit. An Lan opened her makeup bag gloomily and started to touch up her makeup. As a femalewyer, she had to maintain her exquisite makeup wherever she went.


    Thats impossible. Li Shuang was surprised. Thewsuit that an LAN fought had recently been on the news and was quite popr. The defendant, Lin Hao, had evidence of having a mistress. Then its clearly a case of intentional wife murder. At the very least, youll have to be locked up for a few decades.


    Bullsh*t, An Lan cursed angrily. In the end, he somehow managed to get a report of a brake failure, which was ssified as a negligent crime.


    Li Shuang instantly understood that there was a huge difference between a negligent crime and a premeditated murder. That doesnt make sense. With your eloquence and quick thinking, you should be able to turn the situation around within minutes, right?


    Thats right. I wanted to try and convince the jury, but my saliva was already dry. Many of the jurors were moved, but Xu Baohan was unmoved. An Lan sighed, This guy is a typical cold-blooded, heartless, and inhumane person. Normally, that warm-hearted card wouldnt work on him. I curse this kind of person to be cuckolded, cheated on, and have a useless sex life in the future. Even if he divorces his wife, he will definitely be stripped of all his assets by the woman


    An Lan cursed as she applied her lipstick. At this moment, she suddenly saw a figure standing at the entrance of the toilet. He looked a little familiar, but his figure was tall and straight. He was over 1.85 meters tall, and his gaze was as sharp as a de.


    When she saw that face clearly, An Lans hand trembled. The lipstick on her hand was directly applied to her lips, drawing a bright red line on her face.


    At that moment, Li Shuang was still sighing over the phone. Isnt it just losing awsuit? It still needs to escte to a personal attack. Lawyer an, youve fully exposed your narrow-minded character


    An Lan hurriedly hung up the phone, her tone embarrassed. Chief Judge Xu


    Xu Baohans clear gaze paused on the lipstick bar on her mouth for a second, and he coldly opened his thin lips, ording to Article 42 of the Law on administrative penalties for public security, anyone who publicly insults others or fabricates facts to nder others shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than 10 days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan. Insulting a government official in a gross manner or seriously disturbing public order may constitute the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.


    The corner of An Lans mouth twitched. This guy really deserved to be a judge. He was really freaky.

 Chapter 1739. Moved by my beauty

    Chapter 1739. Moved by my beauty


    However, she was a seasonedwyer after all, so she quickly calmed down and caressed her beautiful hair in a flirtatious manner, revealing a look of suspicion, Chief judge, what are you talking about? Why dont I know anything? Did I do something wrong?


    Xu Baohans lips twitched, as though he had expected this. He took out his phone from his pocket and tapped on the recording, ying what she had just said.


    An Lan:


    She had no idea when this guy had recorded it.


    Xu Baohan said calmly, As a civil servant who works in thew, I am best at preserving evidence. Furthermore, you are awyer. If you insult a judge, you may even lose yourwyers license. Of course, this is not possible, but it will at least prevent you from going to court for a year or so.


    An Lans pretty face turned pale. She blinked for two seconds and a bright and charming smile appeared on her face, Oops, chief judge, didnt I do it on purpose just now? I was just joking with a friend. Furthermore, I was also feeling sorry for the deceased, Chen Juanqi. She was obviously a gentle and understanding wife who had done nothing wrong. In the end, her hubby kept a mistress outside, and the mistress even had an illegitimate child. She was nning to enter the family, but Chen Juanqi was suddenly killed by her husband


    An, the case is over and the verdict has been handed down. Youre telling me this now? With our current identities, I doubt your professional abilities, Xu Baohan said sternly as he put his phone back into his pocket.


    An Lan felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her once again. The smile on her face was starting to fade, Dont say that. What I said to you just now wasnt as awyer, and youre not the chief judge in my eyes. After all, you and Nian were high school ssmates, and I happened to be college alumni with Nian. Its fate, isnt it


    What fate? Xu Baohan nced at her indifferently, Its my business that Nian Junting and I know each other, what does it have to do with you?


    An Lan:


    Damn it, no wonder this kind of person was in his early thirties and didnt even have a girlfriend. it was said that he was dumped by his fiance, so he deserved to be dumped. this kind of person deserved to die alone.


    The smile on her face slowly disappeared. She took out her phone and started taking pictures of him.


    What are you doing? Xu Baohans expression turned serious.


    Oh, Im taking pictures of you entering thedies room. An Lan shrugged and smiled, A man like you wouldnte to thedies room to peep on a woman, would you? What a coincidence! ording to Article 42, Article 6 of the Public Security Administration punishmentw, those who peep, take pictures, eavesdrop or spread other peoples privacy will be detained for up to five days or fined up to 500 yuan. If the circumstances are serious, they will be detained for up to five days and up to 10 days. They can also be fined up to 500 yuan.


    Xu Baohans expression gradually turned ugly. I didnt. I was looking down at my phone just now, but I didnt notice that I was in the wrong ce.


    An Lan smiled, Such an excuse doesnt sound credible at all. Of course, every pervert and wolf would never admit to their twisted hobbies. Fortunately, I took a photo just now and left behind evidence of you staying in thedies room. I thought that I could use these photos to sue you for trying to peek in, but I just happened to bump into you. Oh right, its also possible that your heart was moved by my beauty. Mr. Xu, I really couldnt tell that youre such a person.

 Chapter 1740. I have confidence in my own beauty

    Chapter 1740. I have confidence in my own beauty


    An Lan, please watch your words. Xu Baohans cold face finally cracked. I have no interest in you. Dont tter yourself.


    Who knows? An Lan curled her lips, causing the red bar on her lips to be even more obvious.


    Xu Baohan couldnt take it anymore. Please look at yourself in the mirror first.


    An Lan chuckled. Theres no need. I look at myself in the mirror every day. Im confident in my beauty.


    Xu Baohans lips twitched.


    An Lans smile deepened when she saw that he was silent, Oh right, due to your special status, you might be punished more severely. What a coincidence, we bothmitted the same crime. Will we spend five days in prison together? Fate, but no matter what, Im just a smallwyer, I cant bepared to you.


    Xu Baohan watched her lips move, turning to leave with an ugly expression on his face.


    Hey, dont go. An Lan quickly followed. Is it toote to escape now?


    An Lan, enough is enough. Xu Baohan turned back, his cold and charming eyes sweeping over her. If you had such a tongue in court, you wouldnt have lost the case, and you wouldnt have to resort to insulting the presiding judge behind his back to vent.


    An LAN blushed. If you hadnt been so cold, you might not have lost the case. Thew is merciless, but people are kind.


    Xu Baohan turned around this time and looked straight at her. Im a judge. I only make conclusions from the perspective of thew, just like how youre awyer. You only think about whats best for your client.


    You think Chen Juanqi was deliberately killed by Lin Hao, but you dont have enough evidence. Without solid evidence, the crime is not established. Youre not qualified, so dont me others. I really doubt how you got to where you are today. Is it good luck?


    He left without looking back.


    An Lan was embarrassed and angry. She red at his back and said snappily, Didnt you want to go to the toilet? Arent you going? Dont get urethritis from holding it in.


    Xu Baohans retreating figure froze. A few secondster, he left with his long legs.


    An Lan snorted coldly at his back and muttered, I knew you didnt want to go to the washroom. Maybe you just wanted to sneak into thedies room.


    She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Luckily, she hade out early, otherwise, he might have seen everything.


    She had better stay away from him in the future.


    She hurried downstairs. Yan Wen had been waiting for her by the car for a while. When she saw an LAN rushing over, she red at her strangely.


    Lets go, get in the car. An Lan used her keys to unlock her BMW.


    Erm Yan Wen pointed at the corner of her mouth awkwardly. Lawyer An, your mouth


    An Lans heart skipped a beat. She quickly took out a mirror to take a look. A red line on her lips slid down to the right side of her nose. It was especially eye-catching. She suddenly remembered that the person beside her had looked at her several times when she was taking the elevator downstairs, so she had been facing off against Xu Baohan for such a long time in the toilet, yet she had still confidently said in front of him that she had confidence in her beauty?


    An Lan instantly had the thought of passing out.


    As a strictwyer, it had been a long time since she had been so humiliated.


    Yan Wen braced herself and said obsequiously, Lawyer An, its alright. Youre so good-looking, even if you draw a Peking opera face on your face, youd still look good.

 Chapter 1741. Perhaps this was karma

    Chapter 1741. Perhaps this was karma


    Dont say anymore. The memory is unbearable.


    An Lan got into the car sadly and quickly wiped off her lipstick with a tissue. Right now, she was only praying that she would never run into Xu Baohan again.


    ..


    Because she was in a bad mood after losing thewsuit, An Lan rested at home for the whole night before heading to the office the next morning.


    Just as she made a cup of coffee, the partner, Li Yuchen, rushed over in a hurry. An Lan, have you seen the news? Yesterday, yourwsuit against Chen Juan Qi was on the news.


    An Lans hand that was holding the coffee cup paused. She had already expected this. The inte was too developed now. Chen Juan Qis death by her husband was a big gimmick for the reporters. Not long after the incident, she was taken over by many media tforms, at the same time, this case had also received a lot of attention from many people in society. She had expected that if she lost the case, she would be scolded to death by people outside, so she did not even open the news app in the morning.


    What did you say? At this time, there was no way to avoid it. An LAN sighed softly and sat back on the leather chair. She said weakly, Are they all scolding me for not being capable?


    Li Yuchens gaze revealed sympathy. Its worse than this. Chen Juanqis father, Chen Liang, was interviewed by the reporters and said that he regretted finding you to fight the case. He even said that you were not capable at all. It was because he believed your words that he believed you wholeheartedly.


    In the end, you only knew how to scam money. After you scammed the couple until they had nothing, you even lost thewsuit. However, what made them even sadder was that the murderer of her daughter did not receive the punishment that he deserved. Now, theizens are all scolding youThere are even people who spread your name, the address of thew firm, the graduation school, and your phone number on the Inte.


    An Lan lowered her head and took a sip of coffee in silence. Her tongue was bitter as hell.


    Li Yuchen looked at her and said furiously, This Chen Liang is really a bad guy. Something happened to his family. He lost the first trial and ran out of money. He went around looking for people to fight awsuit, but the amount of money he paid was pitifully low. No one was willing to


    You agreed to take on thiswsuit because you felt sorry for them. In the end, you lost and spread the word that you cheated them of their money. What did you cheat? After working hard for a month, you earned a few thousand Yuan from themWith your status, whats the difference between this and a legal aid case?


    An Lan spread her hands and smiled helplessly. After so many years of litigation, dont you often meet such people? After you win, youll be thanked profusely, but after you lose, youll be scolded until youre drenched in blood.


    Li Yuchen mmed the table angrily. But Ive never seen such a shameless person.


    Because we havent dealt with such people for a long time. An Lan shrugged, Ever since Xu Zhengxuans case allowed us to gain a firm foothold in the legal world, weve always received at least a few hundred thousand yuan in one case. The reason why I took their case this time is to wash away the negative image that my sisters matter has brought to me. I have my own selfish motives. Perhaps this is retribution.


    Ive already said that you shouldnt have taken this case. Li Yuchen sighed. Your sisters matter was her own fault. You were only acting as a sister and awyer. Those people who scolded you know nothing.


    I dont want Zhenyuanw firm, which we worked so hard to run, to have a bad reputation because of me alone. But its obvious that Ive made things worse. An Lan smiled bitterly, Chen Juanqis case is much more noisy than An Nings. Ill definitely make things difficult for thepany. If the situation gets out of control, Im willing to withdraw my shares and leave thepany

    Chapter 1742. Was it necessary?


    Dont talk nonsense, Li Yuchen quickly interrupted. If you leave, how will thew firm continue to operate? Others may not know, but dont you think I know that thew firms current status is all because of you? Its all because you have a widework, and youre on good terms with President Nian and Mr. Xiao


    You dont have to worry. With these two friends, theirpanies will dump a lot of cases on you. Anyway, you wont starve to death. If you leave, they definitely wont cooperate with me. Ill suffer even more.


    You dont beat around the bush at all. An Lan shook her head and picked up her coffee cup again. Her expression was solemn, Im afraid that this will bring trouble to Nian and Mr. Xiao, especially Mr. Xiao. There are a lot of public artistes down there. I might be able to dig out some clues from thewyer letters I sent to some celebrities. Im worried that the celebrities Ive worked with will be affected.


    Li Yuchens heart skipped a beat at her words. Ill quickly go and find thoseizens who spread your private information.


    However, Li Yuchen still arrived toote. There were too manyizens who felt that there were too many people who had nothing better to do.


    The matter of An Lans sister, An Ning, being a mistress was once again exposed. The matter of An Lan suing an Ning forpensation made some people even more indignant. There were even people who openly ndered An Lan and an Ning as mistresses on the Inte.


    Following that, the matter of An Lan acting as awyer for famous artists such as Ji Nuanyi and Yan Su was also exposed. As a result, someizens began to question the character of Ji Nuanyi and Yan Su. Some celebrities quickly canceled their coboration with Zhenyuan and began to distance themselves from her.


    An Lan personally made a phone call to apologize. Yan Su, Im really sorry. Ive implicated you for no reason. At this point, its better for you to publicly terminate your coboration with me.


    Sister An Lan, theres no need to publicly announce it, Yan Su said gently. If theizens want to scold me, go ahead. A mere civil case wont affect my current status.


    Thank you so much. An Lan was especially grateful. But in the current situation, I dont think Im suitable to represent you in your case for the time being.


    HMM thats good too. Yan Su also understood that now wasnt the time to act against the wind, Dont worry. I asked Liu Xi to look for you for some business cases. I still believe in your ability. Besides, nowyer can win forever. There are too many things happening on the inte every day. After this, things will get better.


    An Lan was slightly relieved. Although there were too many malicious people on the inte, she still had real friends in her life.


    ..


    The next day, she went to Sheng Ting for a meeting with Nian Junting and Xiao Si.


    In the conference room, Xiao Si said with concern, An Lan, you havent slept well in the past two days. Do you need help? Your photo has been posted on the Inte. You need to be careful.


    An Lan looked serious. Although she had started to sue those who spread her personal information, the police needed time to build a case, and some of the information had already been spread. That was the most troublesome part.


    Nian Junting rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, Youve had a really bad year. I thought that Xiao Si was going to get married, and that you should find a boyfriend as soon as possible this year. However, seeing how unlucky you are, I dont think youll be able to get a boyfriend even if I forced you to.


    An Lan:


    Was he trying tofort her, or was he trying to stab her in the back.


    Xiao Si mmed the table and said unhappily, Tingting, An Lan is already having a hard time in her career, and you still want to stab her in the back? Is that necessary?

 Chapter 1743. A judge and a lawyer

    Chapter 1743. A judge and awyer


    Nian junting was a little confused, You didnt hear the concern in my words?


    Xiao Si choked, no one could hear it.


    Nian Junting crossed his hands and said, Go visit the temple when youre free.


    You believe in such things? Xiao Si was surprised.


    Nian Junting shrugged and said, I dont really believe in it, but arent women superstitious? Just take it as a walk and enjoy the scenery.


    Xiao Si was a little speechless.


    An Lan was silent for a moment, then said, Id better stay out of the limelight for now. At least for the next two months, Im not suitable to take on new cases. I havent rested for a long time. Ill go abroad and take a break.


    Xiao Si heaved a sigh of relief, Its good that you think so. Dont worry. Ive already told the news media to stop writing about you for the time being. Itll be fine after this. You can spend some time with your family. Youve been too tense over the past few years.


    An Lan smiled bitterly and said, Youre still spending time with your family? My parents only know how to argue with me now.


    Xiao Si frowned. He vaguely knew that An Lan had fallen out with her parents ever since An Ning was sent to the mental hospital


    How? An Lans face was full of sadness.


    Then find a boyfriend, Nian Junting added quietly.


    An Lan was speechless, Nian, didnt you just say that Im unlucky this year? I cant even be a man.


    Nian Junting turned the pen in his hand and said, You cant give up just because you cant be a man. Theres still hope.


    An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry, Nian, its so rare that youve been considering whether I have a boyfriend or not to get married to Mr. Xiao. Have you changed since you became a father?


    Nian Junting remained silent for a few seconds and said, Because now I feel that marriage is pretty good. Ive been working hard for so many years and finally found a direction and a reason. As friends, I sincerely hope that you can find happiness. Its too lonely to be alone.


    An Lan suddenly felt warm. She turned to Xiao Si and said, This is the first time Ive felt that Nian is so human-like.


    Yeah, you werent human in the past. You even had a crush on him for so long. I dont know if youre blind or if theres something wrong with your brain, Xiao Si sneered.


    An Lan felt awkward. She couldnt bear to look back at the past. After thinking about it, she felt that there might be something wrong with her brain. Well Its gettingte. Im leaving now. I suddenly want to go to France for a walk.


    After she left, Nian Junting couldnt help but say to Xiao Si, She wants to go to France alone. In that kind of ce, there are couples everywhere. Wouldnt she be looking for trouble if she went?


    Yeah, Xiao Si empathized with him. Why dont we introduce her to someone? Do you have any good men around you?


    Nian Junting thought for a moment, then asked, Xu Baohan?


    He paused for a moment, then said, I think hes the only one who knows him better and isnt married yet. Hes indeed a good man, and hes a judge and awyer. If you meet him


    Hell definitely be furious. In the end, hell pull out his sword and kill us both, Xiao Si interrupted him disapprovingly, Forget it. Ive met Xu Baohan a few times. Every time I see him, I feel like Im facing a mean criminalw book. I dont want to deal with him even if Im a man, let alone An Lan.


    Nian Junting sighed, actually, it wasnt like this before. maybe his fiance ran away with someone


    even if I were his fiance, I would run away.

 Chapter 1744. Blind date

    Chapter 1744. Blind date


    An Lan had no idea that there were two men behind her who were worried about introducing her to someone.


    After she returned, she applied for a visa to France and stayed there for half a month.


    It was not an exaggeration to say that she was really bored.


    All these years, she had been busy with work. In her free time for the past two years, she had been in a couple of rtionships. However, after dating for a short period of time, she realized that they were either ipatible in character or outlook on life.


    Now that she suddenly had free time, she suddenly realized that her life was really boring without a job. Her friends around her had long gotten married and had children. Everyone had their own families.


    Sometimes, sitting by the Seine River at night gave rise to a lonely feeling.


    Once, she sent a photo to Wechat Moments. In the end, she was identally caught by her aunt Ji Jia. Ji Jia immediately called her. Why did you go to France? Are you alone?


    Yeah, An Lan smiled. Auntie, do you need something from France?


    Ji Jia sighed. Need what? Im going to die from anger. Youve been through so much recently, and your parents dont care at all. Youre already 29 this year, and youre still wandering around alone. Ill be back soon to arrange a blind date for you.


    An Lan had a headache. She should have blocked her aunt. Auntie, I


    Shut up, Ji Jia interrupted her, You are not allowed to reject me again this time. An Lan, I know you are capable. Others may not understand you, but this time, you, a woman, encountered such a situation for no reason. You dont even have someone to rely on. You cant do this anymore. In the past, you rejected me again and again, but you have to agree this time. Otherwise, I wont recognize you as my niece.


    An Lans eyes heated up. She could feel a strong sense of kinship from her aunt. She bit her lips and did not say anything.


    Come back within three days. Dont worry, I will definitely find you a good partner. I dont want anyone who is crooked, and he will definitely be handsome.


    An Lan did not know whether tough or cry. Actually, Im not that obsessed with looks


    Alright, you wont be obsessed with looks until now, but since your time has already been wasted, you have to find someone who is handsome and capable.


    In short, after being threatened and persuaded by her aunt-inw, An Lan finally agreed to go back to the country for a blind date.


    In fact, she still trusted Ji Jias taste. This was also one of the reasons why she reluctantly agreed.


    The night before she went, Ji Jia specially called her again. This blind date is indeed a top-notch one. At least he looks good. Although he doesnt make as much money as you, hes not bad either.


    An Lan was curious. Auntie, my reputation has been particrly bad recently. Are you sure that he wont fall out with me after meeting me?


    Dont worry, he definitely wont, Ji Jia said. Hes also a legal worker and understands this industry very well. He especially understands your heartache.


    The corners of An Lans mouth twitched. Can you tell me where he works? I dont think Ive met him before, right?


    at the Procuratorate.


    Then I have most likely met him before An Lan suddenly regretted agreeing to this blind date.


    Go, you have to go for me. I specially arranged it for you. If you dont go, I wont be able to save face, Ji Jia directly shouted.


    An Lan could only brace herself and drive. On the way, she thought about the handsome but unmarried man in the Procuratorate. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ji Jia had found her a younger man.


    She had no interest in a younger man, and she didnt want to find a legal profession either. After all, they werewyers who often argued with the Procuratorate in court.

 Chapter 1745. Xu Baohan’s cold face showed a hint of shock

    Chapter 1745. Xu Baohan��s cold face showed a hint of shock


    If they were to get married, the two of them would have to avoid certain topics.


    After all, one was awsuit for the country and the other was awsuit for the parties involved.


    What was even more difficult was that if the two of them who knew thew were to get divorced in the future, they would definitely fight to the death.


    Therefore, An Lan did not hold any hope for this blind date, but at the same time, she could not fall out with the other party. It would be best if they could be friends in the end.


    The location of the blind date was a vegetarian restaurant.


    The other party probably got An Lans number from Ji Jia. At twelve oclock, he sent a Wechat message to An Lan: Im here, Table 12..


    An Lan pondered over this phone call. She was actually not familiar with it at all. Logically speaking, she should have a number for many prosecutors in the procuratorate. After all, although Xia City was big, the legalwork was indeed small.


    An Lan had previously studied at Xia citys University of Political Science and Law for two years. Later on, she studied overseas. Many of her friends who did not study abroad finished their studies at Xia City. Some of them entered the local procuratorate or court, and some becamewyers. Later on, they returned to the country for a gathering, a group of people of simr age often brought friends along. After meeting several times, they had be more familiar with each other.


    It was just that she had never seen this number before.


    After parking the car, An Lan walked straight in. The environment inside was not bad.


    The waiter told her the location of Table 12. From afar, An Lan could see the figure of a man sitting on the seat with his back facing her. The man was wearing a white shirt, and a gray suit was ced on the chair beside him. However, looking at the mans broad shoulders, she could sense his elegant and noble temperament. The sun was shining on him, and he gave people the illusion that he was shining even without looking at his face.


    An Lan nced at the waitress who kept peeking at him. She understood that the man her aunt had introduced had good facial features.


    She had been dealing with Nian Junting and Xiao Si for a long time, so she was basically immune to handsome men. However, at this moment, she had to admit that the mans back was really moving.


    However, when did the procuratorate hire such a person? She didnt even know about it. Could it be that she had just been transferred here?


    For some reason, she was actually somewhat interested in todays blind date.


    She raised her high heels and walked over.


    The heels of her high heels hit the ground, giving off an imposing aura.


    The other party seemed to have heard her. He turned around, and a hint of surprise shed across Xu Baohans cold face.


    An Lan was so shocked that her high heels stumbled, and she bumped into a waiter who was passing by with fruit juice in his hands. Half a ss of orange juice sshed onto the sleeves of her dress.


    It was really a tearless scene.


    She had just bought a dress not long ago in France.


    And it was under such an awkward situation. Thest time she had bumped into Xu Baohan in the toilet, she had already lost all face because of that lipstick bar, and now she had lost all face again.


    Im sorry, Im sorry, the waiter quickly apologized. He took a tissue from the table beside him and handed it to her.


    Its okay, I wasnt careful and bumped into you. An Lan took the tissue and wiped it, but her sky-blue sleeves couldnt even wipe the orange stain.


    This is my orange juice, right? Xu Baohan suddenly stood up and frowned.


    The waiter looked at An Lan and then at Xu Baohan. In the end, she bit her lip and fell into a dilemma. An Lan said, How much is the orange juice? Ill pay for it.


    Okay. The waiter heaved a sigh of relief. Beauty, which table would you like to sit at? I can charge it to you.


    An Lan nced at Xu Baohans seat number. In her heart, she couldnt stop cursing her aunt.

 Chapter 1746. Chief Judge Xu wouldn’t want date me?

    Chapter 1746. Chief Judge Xu wouldn��t want date me?


    What prosecutors office? He was obviously from the court, and he was the most ruthless and cold-blooded Xu Baohan from the court.


    Before her aunt introduced the blind date, could she find out about the other partys unit first.


    Furthermore, she and Xu Baohan had a grudge now, alright?


    However, she definitely couldnt admit that she was here for the blind date.


    Just as she was about to speak, the waitress who had asked An Lan for the seat number suddenly walked over and said, This beauty is going to table 12


    Xu Baohans brows furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly. Youre the niece of the friend that Chief Chen introduced


    What the hell, Chief Chen.


    An Lan quickly denied it with a straight face. So, Chief Judge Xu is here for a blind date, but I think youre mistaken. I only invited a friend over for a meal.


    But you said the 12th


    Then I must have made a mistake. An Lan only wanted to find an opportunity to buy this ss of fruit juice and quickly slip away.


    Is that so? Xu Baohans jet-ck pupils became more meaningful, clearly a little suspicious. His gaze couldnt help falling on An Lans clothes. In the past few short encounters, she had always been dressed in a neat professional outfit, but today, she was wearing a light blue long dress. Her usual beauty, sexiness, and sharpness seemed to have been restrained. Instead, she looked a little dignified and elegant.


    An Lans heart raced when she saw his suspicious look. After all, she had been through a lot in the court, so she still looked calm andposed.


    She met Xu Baohans gaze and suddenly smiled sweetly, What? Dont tell me Chief Judge Xu wants me to be the blind date? There are more men than women in this society. Do people like me still need to go on blind dates?


    Xu Baohan frowned. This was the second time he had crossed swords with her. He didnt know where this woman got such confidence from. Could it be that she had been friends with Nian Junting for too long and was infected?


    Dont think too much, Xu Baohan retracted his gaze indifferently.


    Its good that you dont think too much, An Lan heaved a sigh of relief. She took out her phone and pretended to say, Ill call my friend and ask her which table shes at. Ill pay for your orange juiceter.


    Just as she finished speaking, her aunts voice came from behind. Hey, An Lan, you bumped into Mr. Xu. How nice. I was afraid that you wouldnt be able to find a ce, so I specially came over.


    An Lans body instantly felt like it was frozen.


    Her mind was racing. She must have not slept wellst night and was hallucinating.


    Xu Baohan looked back. The person who came was about forty years old and dressed rather fashionably. Of course, he had met her before. She was a friend of director Chen and also the Auntie of this blind date. Two days ago, director Chen had specially brought her over to visit him, actually, he didnt really like it, but the middle-aged Aunties mood was mostly the same, so he turned a blind eye to it.


    However, she seemed to know An Lan.


    His gaze fell on an LAN in front of him once again. He didnt know when, but her face was as red as an apple.


    He instantly understood.


    The cold and indifferent Xu Baohan couldnt help smiling faintly. Oh, didnt you have a date with a friend? Since when did I have a friend like you?


    An Lan:


    However, Ji Jia was still unaware as she walked over with a smile. The more she looked at Xu Baohans face, the more satisfied she became. Look at his temperament, his side, he was definitely born with it, An Lan, have you guys introduced yourselves? Mr. Xu is the one your Auntie Chen introduced, he works in the prosecutors office. Mr. Xu, this is my niece, shes awyer.

 Chapter 1747. I’m not your date yet

    Chapter 1747. I��m not your date yet


    An Lan wanted to cry.


    Auntie, could you be more reliable in introducing your niece to someone? You even got the wrong persons work unit.


    Xu Baohan was stunned for a few seconds before he stood up and exined, Hello, I work in the court.


    Ji Jia was stunned for a moment before she asked awkwardly, But wasnt thest time I saw you in the prosecutors office? Director Chen also works in the prosecutors office, she said shes your colleague.


    Director Chen transferred to the prosecutors officest year. I went to the prosecutors office a few days ago to take care of some matters, and you happened to run into me that time, Xu Baohan exined.


    Ji Jia was enlightened. Oh, I see, but its fine. The prosecutors office and the court are actually not that different. After all, they are both working in thew


    An LAN couldnt help interrupting. Theres still a big difference. The prosecutors office is the legal supervision organ, while the court is the judicial organ.


    Ji Jia pondered for a moment, she said, I roughly understand. In simple terms, no matter if its the Procuratorate or thewyers, they will always send the case to the court, right? To put it bluntly, its a bit like a food chaindder. The court stands on top, and yourwyers stand below. No matter how you and the Procuratorate plot against each other, the court will decide, right?


    An Lan:


    In any case, Auntie was here to make her lose face, she didnt want to talk anymore.


    Xu Baohans eyes shed with a faint smile. Theres no such thing as whos the boss, but if you have to exin it this way, it makes sense.


    The more Ji Jia looked at him, the more satisfied she became. Mr. Xu, youre really young and promising. Alright, I Wont disturb you young people from your conversation. I still have to go back and cook for the children, you guys can chat.


    The main reason why she hade was because she had promised an Lan a blind date a few times before. In the end, this guy always stood her up, so she was worried and rushed over to take a look.


    Auntie, you should go back quickly. An Lan hurriedly urged her. If she only had auntie to stay, she would be in deep trouble.


    Ji Jia made a face at her, then left in a good mood.


    The restaurant was bustling with customers, but An Lan only felt awkward.


    Xu Baohan looked at her without saying a word, but his gaze was thought-provoking.


    An Lan felt embarrassed and said, I didnt expect my auntie to be talking about you. Hahahaha, what a coincidence, because she said he was from the prosecutors office, I didnt expect


    Im not your date yet, Xu Baohan said bluntly.


    An Lan took a deep breath. Since it was already like this, she could only press forward shamelessly. Im talking about a blind date.


    There are more men and fewer women now, does a person likewyer An still need toe for a blind date? Xu Baohan returned the question.


    An Lan:


    Did a man need to be so petty.


    Xu Baohan saw that her usually proud and delicate face was now extremely red, embarrassed and bright. He suddenly felt that it was quite interesting, Lawyer An, take a seat. Dont block the guests from passing by. Since youre already here, we can talk about why you still need toe on a blind date.


    An Lan red at him and sat down opposite him, telling him the truth, Chief Judge Xu, Im doing this for our own good. The two of US parted on bad termsst time, and now weve met on a blind date. Its very awkward. Moreover, I feel that a person like chief judge Xu, who is as light as the wind and as bright as the Moon, wouldnt want to deal with a vulgar and philistinewyer like me on a blind date. Thats why I said that on purpose.

 Chapter 1748. After seeing you, I don’t think about it

    Chapter 1748. After seeing you, I don��t think about it


    Xu Baohan smiled.


    Although he knew that this youngwyer was cunning and could speak well, he didnt expect her to be so good at it, and her face didnt even turn red when he lied.


    Really? He raised an eyebrow. That wasnt what you saidst time. You said I was a pervert and wanted to peek at you.


    An Lan choked. She didnt expect this man to be so narrow-minded. It had already been half a month and he still remembered so clearly. After thinking about it, I felt that it was a misunderstanding.


    Xu Baohan nodded, his lips moving slightly. An Lan was afraid that he would discuss why she hade on a blind date again, so she quickly said, Since we can eat together, its also a kind of fate. I wonder if Chief Judge Xu has ordered yet


    Yes, Xu Baohan replied calmly.


    An Lan fell silent. Although she had never been on a blind date before, this man had already ordered the dishes before she arrived, alright?


    What if the woman didnt like the dishes at all.


    Although the man was good-looking, her looks couldnt be used as food.


    She could now understand why Xu Baohan was always single.


    Xu Baohans sharp gaze seemed to see through her thoughts, adding, I still have work in the courtyard, I have to go back at one oclockter.


    An Lan understood, so if they waited for her to order more food, the meal would probably end veryte. Actually, this was also good, everyone should finish their meal earlier and go their separate ways.


    Oh right, remember to pay for that drinkter, Xu Baohan suddenly said.


    An Lan was speechless, I can split it with you.


    No need, Im not that stingy, Xu Baohan said indifferently as he took a sip of tea.


    An Lan cursed silently in her heart. Even if he wasnt stingy, he still wanted her to pay for that cup of fruit juice?


    Excuse me is that cup of fruit juice for me? An Lan asked tentatively.


    Youre thinking too much, Xu Baohan said.


    An Lan:


    Could they just leave without eating this meal?


    Before the dishes were served, the two of them looked at each other in silence for a while until An Lan drank two cups of tea. She really couldnt stand the atmosphere and spoke first, Oh right, Chief Judge Xu, why are you suddenly here for a blind date? With such good conditions, there should be many women chasing after you. What do you want from your future partner?


    Director Chen and I have been talking about blind date for a year. Xu Baohan seemed to have recalled something that gave him a headache. He frowned. I hope that my future partner can be more honest and generous in the future. Dont be too fake.


    An LAN took a sip of tea gloomily. Why did she feel that his words seemed to imply that she was not being honest and was not saying what she meant.


    Then Im really sorry. An Lan smiled brightly. Lawyers like us have always preferred to wear masks. I might not be suitable for the person you want to marry.


    Xu Baohan nodded. I know, thats why I dont think about it after meeting you.


    An Lan could no longer hold back her smile. She put down her teacup and said in annoyance, Chief Judge Xu, if thats the case, since both of us dont like each other, lets just skip this meal and go home.


    Xu Baohan remained calm. Lets eat before we leave. I ordered dishes for two, I cant finish them all by myself, dont waste them.


    An Lans mouth twitched. She had seen plenty of top-notch men, but she had never seen such a top-notch one. I said, well split the bill. Even though Im gone, Ill pay for half of the food.


    I know you guys make a decent ie aswyers, but you should save some money. Xu Baohan pursed his sharp lips. The incidentst time caused quite a stir, I dont think youll be able to take on a case anytime soon. Its better to save some money.

 Chapter 1749. I can’t accompany you for this meal anymore

    Chapter 1749. I can��t apany you for this meal anymore


    Hes just rubbing it in.


    An Lan was depressed. Although she had earned quite a lot of money over the years and made some investments, there were too many ces to spend money. She had even opened such argew firm and had to spend money everywhere.


    Especially after that incident, the number of cases that thew firm had taken on was getting fewer and fewer.


    She went to France again and spent quite a lot of money on the purchase. She also had to pay off the mortgage for several houses


    You knew about it too? After a while, An Lan cast her gaze over with mixed feelings. I heard that the Chen Juan case was negotiated in private?


    Yes.


    The case had already passed, so Xu Baohan did not hide it. The second trial was lost, and the Chen family really did not have any money. In addition, the Chen Liang family really did not have any money, so they gave in. Lin Hao will be able to go to jail for a year.


    An Lanughed when she heard that, sneering sarcastically.


    Previously, Chen Liang had been crying for justice for his daughter, but that was all. In the end, he could just take a little more money and sell his daughter.


    As for her, she had been scolded by Chen Liang everywhere, and she did not know how to describe this kind of person.


    Xu Baohan looked at the indignant look between her brows, he said indifferently, What are you angry about? Because Lin Hao didnt get enough punishment, or because Chen Liang took the money and backed out. Now, the media has changed. The person who scolded Lin Hao before has nowe to scold you instead.


    An Lan had to admit that Xu Baohans words were sharp, but she didnt want to be so easily pierced by the wound in her heart, I dont me anyone. I only me myself. I was the one who took the case, I chose the path. Among the people wewyers usually interact with, Ive met all kinds of people.


    Is that so? Xu Baohan stared at her without blinking. You say you dont mind, but youre actually holding a ball of fire in your heart, but its good that you know your ce. Indeed, you should only me yourself.


    An Lans chest heaved up and down. She had never seen such an irritating man.


    Xu Baohan continued to speak sharply, Furthermore, you must have your own selfish motives for taking on this case. Chen Liangs case has attracted a lot of attention from the start. You want to use this case to regain your reputation, just like how Xu Zhengxuans case was overturned previously.


    An Lab blushed and said angrily, Thats right, Im like that. Wewyers want fame in this industry. Without fame, we cant make money.


    Its not always as good as Xu Zhengxuans case, Xu Baohan continued, That time, it was because of Nian Juntings help and Yi Jingxis surrender. Otherwise, you wouldnt have overturned the case so easily.


    Keep talking. If you keep talking, I wont be able to apany you for this meal, An Lan said angrily.


    Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips and averted his gaze.


    After a minute of silence, An Lan drank two more cups of tea. Suddenly, he spoke coldly again, Dont make yourself sound so bad. If it was for money, you wouldnt have scolded me like that in the toilet. You just put yourself in too deep. When facing a case, you put too much emotion into it. You think youre fighting for justice, but youre not. In court, its hard to tell whos righteous and whos rebellious. Can you guarantee that every case you handle is for the victim?


    An Lan is angry. The first few sentences sounded like this person wasforting her, and then felt like satirizing her, I can not.

 Chapter 1750. Wishing You a lifetime of solitude

    Chapter 1750. Wishing You a lifetime of solitude


    She admitted with a flushed face, Many agents like to beautify themselves because no one is willing to expose their ugliest side to others unless they have no other choice.


    So you never know someones true intention. Xu Baohans expression was still indifferent.  Simrly, even as a judge, I can not admit that every case I judged the real murderer was brought to justice.


    An Lan was stunned. Only then she realized he didnt say those words to mock her.


    Dont misunderstand me. I am saying this not because I thought Lin Hao deliberately killed his wife as you did. As a judge, I only believe in the evidence in front of me, Xu Baohan added calmly, If the judge didnt follow thews procedures to execute the case, then there would be no need for the judge to exist.


    An Lan instantly fell silent. Indeed, everyone has their own point of view when they were facing the problem.


    She couldnt use her position as awyer and a prosecutor to demand Xu Baohan. It would be unfair to anyone.


    Are you exining Lin Haos case to me? Ayer of confusion clouded her heart.


    No, Xu Baohan denied, Its just that as awyer, I can sense your blind spot and ignorance in thew, so Im giving you a lesson.


    An Lan red at him. She was just being sarcastic, was there a need to ask that question.


    She shouldnt have stayed for dinner.


    But since she had already stayed, was she going to leave like that?


    She felt even if she wanted to leave, she had to make Xu Baohan half-dead before she could vent her anger.


    Just then, the dishes started to be served.


    The first dish was Fresh Bamboo shoots. An Lan quickly picked up her chopsticks. She just wanted to eat as fast as possible and leave, but when she picked up her chopstick and eat, the taste was indescribable.


    The second dish was Squirrel Mandarin fish. It looked pretty good, but after taking a bite, An Lan couldnt hold it in anymore. Have you eaten here before? Are you not sincere enough to set up a blind date, so you invited me to such a terrible vegetarian restaurant on purpose ?


    Xu Baohan frowned. He agreed that the dishes were unptable.  Ive never eaten here before, but I saw this restaurants decor was pretty good when I was walking to work.


    An Lan said unhappily, Have you ever been to a restaurant with a good environment when you hang out with your friends?


    Why would I go to a restaurant with a good environment when I was with my friends? Xu Baohan asked stiffly. My colleagues and I usually eat at a home-cooked restaurant. Initially, I nned to meet you at a home-cooked restaurant, but Director Chen rejected it.


    An Lan:


    She really had to thank Director Chen. Otherwise, if it was her first blind date to go to a home-cooked restaurant that waspletely devoid of romance, a woman like her who pursued a romantic quality would definitely be scared away.


    But now when she thought about it, she would rather be scared away.


    You have the reason for being single up until now. An Lan raised her teacup sincerely to toast him. I think you will continue to be single. I wish you a lifetime of being single.


    Xu Baohan stared at her with a livid expression, his body remained constant.


    An Lan suddenly felt at ease. It wasnt a waste for her to endure the humiliation and stay. Although he didnt want to clink his ss with her, she wasnt embarrassed either. Just as she was about to drink, Xu Baohan suddenly raised his teacup and clinked sses with her, I finally understand why youre being single too, wish you to be single until the end of the world.


    An Lan:

 Chapter 1751. Girls Should Be More Reserved

    Chapter 1751. Girls Should Be More Reserved


    This person, definitely has a sharp tongue.


    An Lan simply held the teacup, no longer in any mood to drink tea.


    On the contrary, Xu Baohan saw that the smile hidden in her eyes seemed to have disappeared. However, he was still in an inexplicable mood, as the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a smile, he finished drinking his tea.


    As thest serving of wild mushroom soup was served, An Lan was no longer in the mood to fight with him, otherwise she might be angered to death.


    Fortunately, she was still able to drink the mushroom soup.


    After Xu Baohan finished drinking half a bowl of the wild mushroom soup, he suddenly wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up. Lawyer an, I will be going to the washroom.


    An Lan nodded. Its normal for you to go to the washroom after drinking so much tea. Hurry up and go, dont damage your kidneys.


    Xu Baohan lowered his head to look at her and said, Its not good for you to be so concerned about my kidneys on our first date. Girls should be more reserved.


    An Lan almost spat out her mouthful of soup.


    Just then, the waitress hade over with thest dish. When she heard his ambiguous words, her face immediately turned red in embarrassment. She looked at An Lan with aplicated expression. She really couldnt tell that this beautiful woman was so wild in her heart. But, why did this woman look so familiar?


    An Lan fiercely red at Xu Baohan, as though she wanted to eat him up, but he just replied calmly, Wait here, Ill be back soon.


    Do you think I cant bear to see you leave? These words, have you no shame? Who wants to wait for you? Dont make it sound like were in an ambiguous rtionship.


    Your dishes have all been served. The waitress bowed slightly and turned to leave.


    An Lan filled her bowl with rice. Right now, she just wanted to finish the meal quickly and leave as soon as he returned.


    After Seven minutes passed, Xu Baohan returned. An Lan said impolitely, Chief Judge Xu has been gone for quite some time. I thought you fell into the toilet.


    Xu Baohan took out a receipt from his pocket and passed it over. I went to pay the bill. This is the cost for your ss of juice.


    An Lan was speechless when she saw the receipt. He actually asked the cashier to write a separate receipt for the ss of juice. 48 Yuan for a ss of juice. Thats really expensive.


    Mm, thats why I asked you topensate me, Xu Baohan said casually, as though he didnt feel that asking his female date topensate for a ss of juice was a shameful matter.


    An Lans mouth twitched as she opened her wallet and took out a hundred-dor bill.


    Xu Baohan didnt take the bill, and instead turned on his phone. I dont have any change, just transfer it to me via WeChat.


    After that, he disyed his WeChat QR code. An Lan originally wanted to say that she could directly pay with QR Pay, but seeing him like this, she still scanned it. His WeChat nickname of Law for Life appeared before her eyes.


    She raised her head. What an outdated nickname. Under normal circumstances, only a forty-year-old uncle would use this kind of nickname.


    Xu Bo Hans handsome brows furrowed. Just then, as she clicked to add him, he also saw her WeChat nickname. Erin, a perfectly good Chinese person would actually choose an English nickname. Could this be considered, fawning on foreign countries?


    An Lanughed. Come on, living in a second-tier city like Xia City, how many topwyers dont have English names? Besides, Ive been overseas to study, how is it strange for me to have an English name? You, on the other hand, should change your outdated philosophy.


    Xu Baohan was expressionless, simply throwing out the words. Pay back my money.


    An Lan snorted and transferred the 48 yuan to him. Thank you for your hospitality, Chief Judge Xu. I have repaid your money, and the meal is over. Its about time for us to leave. I hope we wont meet each other again, except in the court.

 Chapter 1752. Ms. An Lan, your ideas are very dangerous

    Chapter 1752. Ms. An Lan, your ideas are very dangerous


    Why? Xu Baohan was puzzled.


    An Lan let out a sardonicugh. Why? You want to know why? When the two of us are together, it is as if Mars and Earth collided with each other. Sooner orter, it would end in tragedy.


    As both of us are engaged in the legal profession, Ms. An Lan, do refrain yourself from sounding like an rmist. We know that Mars will never hit Earthat least not in our lifetime, Xu Baohan replied calmly, And I disagree with what you just said about us. I am a strict,w-abiding citizen. I would never do anything illegal, but would you?


    His rming gaze swept over her.


    An Lan was dumbstruck. This man is crazy. He misinterpreted her words as if she was a threat to society. When I said it would end in tragedy I didnt mean it like that.


    Xu Baohan looked up calmly. Well, what else were you talking about then? Could it be something about our rtionship?


    An Lan shuddered, Dont read too much into it.


    Xu Baohan nced at the table and got to his feet. Ms. An Lan, no matter which possibility, do take note that your ideas are very dangerous.


    Dangerous, my a*s!


    An Lan took a deep breath. See you never, she uttered as she picked up her bag and stormed out of the restaurant.


    Xu Baohan watched after her as she left his sight, his eyes filled with interest that he didnt even notice.


    An Lan sighed wearily as she walked towards the parking lot. Her work had not been going smoothly, and when she had finally mustered up her courage to go on a blind date, she had met with a weirdo.


    Perhaps it was like what Nian Junting saidshe needed to go and worship at the temple some other time.


    She had parked her car in the parking lot outside the store, but as she approached her car, she saw someone puncturing her tires.


    What are you doing? An Lan immediately rushed over, yet it was toote. She realised that three of her tires had been sabotaged.


    The person who had shed her tires was a woman in her thirties. She was holding a fruit knife in her hand, but she did not panic when she was caught red-handed. Instead, she got up, Cant you see? I shed your tires. A mistress like you deserved it, you deceitfulwyer!


    Are you nuts? An Lan was beyond enraged. Though she had been publicly shamed online not long ago, yet the address, license te number, and phone number of herw firm had been leaked. As she had stayed abroad for half a month, thew enforcement had banned the scandalmongers social media ount and imposed a fine for his criminal offence. What she did not anticipate was such thing to happen after her return.


    After all, she was awyer. She quickly regained herposure before she began to collect pertinent evidence. She grabbed her cell phone and started taking photos.


    Who would have guessed that the woman was not frightened at all? Take as many photos as you want, she taunted, I shed your tires because of how hical you are as awyer. Even if you posted it online, it would be in my favour. If there were fewer f*ckfaces like you in this world, there would not be so many unfortunate families, and there would not be so many couples divorcing.


    The woman had an ear-splitting voice. It was dinner time and they had caused a scene. People wereing back out from the restaurant to watch themotion.


    Hey everyone! Remember Chen Juanqi, the one who died after getting hit by her husband in a car some time ago? This person was thewyer who represented Chen Juanqi in herwsuit. Well, she lost her case. The victims parents ended up losing everything, while shes living avish lifeshe drives a 1 million yuan BMW, and shes all dressed up in expensive clothing.


    Oh right, I forgot to mention that her younger sister is also a mistress. She ruined someone elses family at such a young age. When the persons wife was going to teach her younger sister a lesson, she had the audacity to bring awsuit against the victim, and the victim had to pay a huge amount ofpensation to her, she continued, And do you know how miserable the victim has been? Her husband was seduced, and she even had to repay that little sk*nk. All of this happened at the hands of this consciencelesswyer.

 Chapter 1753. Don’t hesitate, just call the police

    Chapter 1753. Don��t hesitate, just call the police


    The onlookers immediately gathered around an LAN and began to point.


    I remember now, it was all on the news a while ago. The parents of the deceased were quite miserable.


    Yeah, how could this be? Its said that the deceaseds family was very poor and used the money to go to court. Later, after the court case was lost, even eating became a problem.


    Its too tragic. No wonder he can drive such an expensive car at such a young age. Hes really evil.


    I guess the whole family is evil. After all, with a younger sister as a mistress, how good can an older sister be?


    Ptui, how disgusting. One look and you can tell that shes a vixen.


    All kinds of voices drifted into an LANs ears. There were even people holding their cell phones and starting to record videos of her. Nowadays, all kinds of Douyin and Mars videos were very popr. If one was not careful, they would be public figures.


    These days, it was not that an LAN had not seen those abusive words on the inte, but when she heard it with her own ears, she still felt that every word was like a knife.


    She really did not understand. What she had done was worthy of her profession and her conscience, but in the eyes of others, she seemed to be an unpardonable evil person.


    Her body trembled in anger, but she restrained herself.


    After all, it wasnt the first time she had been scolded.


    Especially when she had just started working as awyer, it wasmon for her to lose awsuit and get scolded badly. Later on, when she filed awsuit for an Ning, when she left the court, she was even scolded in the face, but she had managed to pull through.


    Xu Baohan had juste out of the restaurant and was about to return to the office. When he was about to cross the parking lot to the other side of the road, he saw that it was quite lively outside, with many people gathered together.


    As a judge, he had a sense of responsibility. Even though he was in a rush to work, he still walked over.


    He pushed aside the crowd and saw an LAN standing in front of the bus with a pale face. There were many unpleasant discussions beside her. He instantly understood.


    Without hesitation, he walked over with his long legs. His tone was cold but full of authority, No matter what reason you have, you have no right to destroy other peoples private property. Your actions are no different from breaking thew. Dont hesitate, call the police.


    An LAN was stunned. She turned to look at Xu Baohans stern yet sharp face.


    She didnt expect him to appear out of nowhere. If he appeared now, he might be involved. These people wouldnt think too highly of the person who helped her.


    As expected.., the woman said loudly, I just saw you having dinner with him inside. I think shes your hubby, theyre all the same. You Men are good at this kind of vixen. If you call the police, call the police. Do you think Im afraid? Since I dare to do it, Im not afraid. Im upholding justice. If there were fewer women like her in this society, my husband wouldnt have abandoned me to be with a mistress.


    Xu Baohan finally understood. This woman had probably gone overboard because her hubby had dumped her, and an LANs incident was just a way for her to vent.


    If your hubby left you and ran off with his mistress, the mistress was at fault, and so was your hubby, but that doesnt mean youre aplete victim. Have you ever reflected on yourself and realized that you might be at fault as well?


    He spoke word by word, but his tone was extremely cold, In a marriage, there is no absolute right or wrong. Perhaps you, as a wife, are at fault as well. Of course, if you are not at fault, and you are very sure that you are a perfect and good wife, then shouldnt you also reflect on your poor taste in men? In any case, it was you who chose the man. The walls of a marriage are not stable, so what right do you have to me it on someone you dont Know?

 Chapter 1754. Never Thought Sharp Tongued Xu Baohan Would Help

    Chapter 1754. Never Thought Sharp Tongued Xu Baohan Would Help


    The woman was stunned by his sharp words. An Lan was stunned, too. She never thought that the sharp-tongued Xu Baohan would actually help her.


    Before she could react, Xu Baohan continued, Does she know your hubby? Does she know that mistress? She doesnt even know you. The country doesnt need people like you to uphold justice. Your actions are contrary to thew.


    Nevertheless, I can see that you dont know anything about thew. But I can tell you that ording to article 275 of the criminalw, whoever intentionally destroys public or private property, if the amount isrge or if there are other serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or a fine. If the amount is huge or if there are other particrly serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.


    An Lan almost gave him a thumbs up when she heard that. As expected of a judge, his understanding of the criminalw was at his finger tips which he could quote freely.


    The woman panicked. Nonsense, that Lin Hao killed his wife and was only sentenced to three years in prison.


    It seems like you really dont know much about thew, Xu Baohan calmly took out his phone and dialed 110, so I have to send you to the police station to learn and understand better.


    The woman wasnt afraid of calling the police, but she was lost when she heard the long term of imprisonment. She screamed, Why are you helping a woman like her? A woman like her should go to hell!


    Xu Baohan frowned and when he was about to speak, An Lan felt that since he had already helped her, she couldnt let him continue helping her anymore, so she spoke before he could. What kind of woman is a woman like me? Why must I go to hell? Did I do anything insane?


    The woman sneered. Everyone knows clearly what you did. A lot ofizens did not know. Do you want me to tell them all?


    Sure.


    An Lan nodded. Theres actually someone filming on the side today, then Ill confront you. Thats right, my sister is a mistress, she did something wrong. Does this mean that others could cut her face and disfigure her without any restraint?


    This is an illegal act in the eyes of thew. Since its illegal, we should appeal. This is also the responsibility of awyer like me. Nowadays, who doesnt have family members who do wrong that we hate so much? Does it mean that we can just ignore her because she was wrong?


    The onlookers looked at each other speechlessly. Initially, it was very satisfying that the mistress was punished. But now that they thought about it from her point of view, they actually felt that it did make some sense.


    But the woman was unwilling to ept it and was about to open her mouth again. An Lan took a step forward and her gaze became overbearing, As for what you said about me fighting Chen Juanqis case, thats right, I lost the case. Dont tell me that I cant charge fees when I lose. Back then, we signed the agreement in ck and white. Im awyer, not a phnthropist. Its only right and proper for me to charge fees. Dont make yourself sound so great.


    Dont tell me that when you see an olddy or a child begging on the street and you feel sorry for them, you will be kind enough to give them 10 or 100 yuan every time you see them! Dont tell me that when people owe you money and when you see that they dont have a good family background, they dont have to pay you back! Or when you see an olddy selling vegetables on the street at her age, you will give her more money! Have you done all these before?


    The woman continued to be confused by her long speech.

 Chapter 1755. This Woman Was Quite Surprising

    Chapter 1755. This Woman Was Quite Surprising


    An Lan smiled, and her high heels approached step by step, People who do business in restaurants dont stop charging for food just because their customers are poor. People who sell skincare products dont refund their customers just because their products are ineffective to their customers. Teachers dont stop charging for make-up lessons just because their students grades dont improve. No one else has done it, so why do you insist on putting this kind of me on me? When you criticize others, think about yourself first. This is a moral kidnapping.


    Do you think that moral kidnapping is not a crime? Heh, when moral kidnapping causes physical and psychological harm to a person, thats a crime. With your actions, you destroyed my car with a knife in your hand. I can totally sue you for excessive behavior, and even have the subjective intention to hurt me. People like you are very dangerous, and its very easy to send you to a mental hospital.


    An Lans tone became softer and softer, but the more she spoke, the colder it became.


    The woman was so frightened that the knife in her hand fell onto the ground.


    Before this, didnt she say that she was destroying private finances? How did it turn into a conscious attack, and she even had to be sent to a mental hospital.


    An Lans red lips curved slightly, suddenly, she said to the crowd that was filming the video, Oh right, if there are any bystanders who have been kidnapped by morality, they cane to me anytime for awsuit. Coincidentally, I recently lost Chen Juan Qiswsuit and my results arent very good, so I can give you a half discount. Even though I lost this time, you can look at my past performance. Its impossible to win every case, allwyers are the same.


    The conversation changed, and everyone was stunned. Even Xu Baohan was speechless. This woman was actually in the mood to advertise for herself at such time?


    The young man who recorded the video, his mouth was wide open and was embarrassed.


    An Lan looked at him with a smile and continued, But this time, I can kindly remind you that circting a video or photo without the consent of the person involved is an immoral act that vites the privacy of others.


    You can also get sued. I originally nned to sue you. This way, you will be detained for more than five days and more than ten days, and you will also be fined 500 yuan. But now, I agree to let you upload the video. Although you have avoided the risk of going to jail this time, you should be more careful next time. Its not that every time you will meet a kind and understandingwyer like me.


    The young mans face, which was originally red, suddenly turned pale. The hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly. At this moment, he wasnt sure if it was a good idea to take a picture or not.


    He only felt that he would be afraid of the profession ofwyer in the future.


    Her words were like a machine gun, even scarier than a police officer.


    Xu Baohan looked at An Lan, whose smile was getting deeper and deeper, and his cold brows couldnt help raising.


    This woman was quite surprising. She had been surrounded earlier, and her face had turned pale. He had thought she was going to copse, but in just a few minutes, she had turned into a fighter jet.


    She was quite impressive.


    An Lan finally turned her gaze to the woman who had stabbed her tires. At this moment, her phone had already been dialed to the police, she calmly stated to the police, Yes, she stabbed three of my tires, and she was holding a fruit knife. She looked very dangerous, I didnt dare to get close to her


    The woman didnt dare to stay any longer. She turned around and wanted to run away. An Lan calmly said from behind, You can run. There are cameras everywhere. I took a photo of you just now. You wont be able to escape even if you run to the ends of the Earth.


    You what do you want? The woman screamed, I dont want to go to jail. I dont want to go to a mental hospital.

 Chapter 1756. Lawyer An Actually Thought My Help Just Mow Was Unnecessary?

    Chapter 1756. Lawyer An Actually Thought My Help Just Mow Was Unnecessary?


    Then lets wait for the police toe and pay and my mental damages. An Lan sounded cold from her red lips. Its still not toote for you to apologize to me now. Ill give you three seconds to consider. One, two


    I I agreed. The womans brain was like a short circuit as she blurted out, I apologize, I was wrong, I was wrong today.


    Okay, then lets discuss the losses. An Lan started her calctor and calcted the losses one by one. In the end, thepensation was more than 30,000 yuan.


    Why is it so much? The woman couldnt believe it. I only punctured three of your tires.


    Theres also the mental damage fee, the reputation fee, and the lost time. I have given you a 20% discount. If youre unhappy, its okay, well file awsuit. By then, my lost time will be even more, and thepensation fee will be even higher. An Lan said with a kind and understanding look. Of course, if you are really sent to a mental hospital or something, then I wont be responsible.


    The womans lips trembled. In the end, she hugged her head and looked like she was about to copse. Alright, alright, 34,000 then, 34,000 then


    Alright, transfer the money through Alipay first. When the police arriveter, Ill tell them that weve settled. An LAN said as she opened her Alipay.


    Xu Baohans lips twitched.


    With her type of tire, it was at most 2,000 yuan per tire. After the repairs, she would earn 28,000 yuan in 10 minutes or so.


    He looked at An Lan as though she was a monster. He had seen femalewyers before, but he had never seen anyone as crazy as her. She was even better at stealing money.


    But she was quite different.


    For some reason, he looked at An Lan who was opening her Alipay ount and collecting money under the sun, he felt that she was quite eye-catching.


    After collecting the money, An Lan walked towards him with a smile, as though she had just won awsuit. Chief Judge Xu, thank you so much this time. Didnt you say you had to go to work at one oclock? Sorry for wasting your time.


    Yes, I only did what I had to do. Lawyer An, youre quite impressive. Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips. Its quite enviable for Lawyer An to earn so much money in such a short time, so shouldnt you treat me to a meal?


    An Lan was stunned, her gaze meeting Xu Baohans unfathomable gaze. She suddenly understood. Although the judge seemed to have a high status, his sry was definitely not as high as a gold-rankedwyer like them. It was understandable for him to be so full of envy, but she had to eat with him


    What, didwyer An think that my help just now was unnecessary? Xu Baohan asked calmly.


    Of course not. Although An Lan felt that even without him, she would definitely be able to fight her way out of the encirclement with just her mouth. Bit it would definitely not be so smooth. After all, Xu Baohan had stood up for her first, gaining the upper hand and disrupting the other partys heart. This had allowed her to seize the opportunity to pursue.


    Alright, then Ill treat you to a meal some other day, An Lan said.


    Okay, Im making a move now. Xu Baohan said as he started to walk out.


    The crowd at the side watched his back and discussed in hushed tones.


    Who is this person? Is He also awyer? He seems to have a sharp tongue as well.


    Yeah, judging from the way he talked about thew just now, its obvious that he cant be offend.


    Are they be husband and wife? Or, theyre in a rtionship? Its too scary. Who would dare to offend these two people when theyre together?


    In the future, its better not to mess withwyers for no reason. Its too costly.

 Chapter 1757. Marriage between a Lawyer and a Judge Is a Strong Alliance

    Chapter 1757. Marriage between a Lawyer and a Judge Is a Strong Alliance


    Although Xu Baohan had walked away, he could still hear what others said. He was stunned for a few seconds, but after thinking about it for a while, he actually felt what others had said was not unreasonable.


    An Lan also heard what the bystanders were saying, and she felt a little ufortable. How could these people think that she and Xu Baohan were a couple? It was obvious that they were not a match.


    But forget it. She hadnt made any money in a long time. Since she could make so much money today, she did not lose out on this blind date.


    Eight minutester, the police arrived. An Lan told them the whole story, then the police gave the woman a warning before leaving.


    After that, An Lan waited for the car repairpany to arrive, then towed the car to the repair shop.


    She went back by taking a taxi. On the way back, she received a call from Ji Jia, How was it? How was the blind date? Did you exchange WeChat messages with Mr. Xu? Do you think that I arranged a good blind date this time? Mr. Xu is handsome, right? I dare say that his looks are definitely not worse than Nian Junting, whom you had a crush on in the past.


    An Lan was calm. Having a crush on Nian Junting was a hurdle that she couldnt get over in the eyes of her friends and rtives.


    Auntie, dont mind me saying, An Lan rubbed in between her eye brows and said, before you introduce me to someone, dont you have to figure out who they work for? Hes obviously from the court, yet you told me thta hes from the prosecutors office.


    Isnt it just work units? Whats wrong with making a mistake? Theyre all in the field ofw anyway. I just asked your Auntie Chen, and hes the chief judge, the youngest and most handsome chief judge in the court. What does it mean to be able to be the chief judge in his early thirties? Hes destined to have a bright future.


    Ji Jia said bluntly, The title of the judge and your title as awyer arepletely on a different level.


    An Lans face as calm. Then do you know who was the presiding judge in Chen Juanqis case? It was Xu Baohan. After losing that case, he caused a hugemotion and destroyed my reputation. I had no choice but to hide overseas.


    Ah, what a coincidence. Ji Jia suddenly realized. Dont tell me youre jealous of Xu Baohan because of that.


    An Lan snorted coldly.


    Ji Jia said unhappily, Youre really narrow-minded. Can you me Xu Baohan for losing the case? He wasnt the one who ws operating the court, he was also only acting ording to thew. If you want to me someone, you have to me yourself for epting that kind of case, or youre not skilled enough and thus you lost the case. Your actions are throwing your anger at others for no reason. Youre unreasonable.


    Aunty An Lan was so angry that her face turned red and her neck stiff. Although this was the truth, she was still unhappy in her heart.


    If you ask me, this is fate between the two of you. Ji Jia advised earnestly.


    An Lan chuckled, This is adverse fate. Moreover, Im awyer and hes a judge. How are we going to get married? When we get married, we cant talk about work rted matters at all. We even have to be wary of each others information. If we have any troubles at work, we cant share with each other. If we dont manage well, itll be a leak.


    Its not as serious as you said. Arent the prosecutor and thewyer also getting married?Ji Jia said. Look at the bright side. If awyer and a judge get married, itll be a strong alliance. In the future, who would dare to provoke you?.


    Forget it. I can also protect myself.


    The two of them only ended the call when she was about to reach home.


    An Lan received a call from Xiao Si before she was about to fall asleep after shower that night. Great! Youre missing for a while, and now youre on hot search quietly. There are more than 30,000ments. Do you know how powerful you are now, the money-snatching Lawyer An?

 Chapter 1758. Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the Legal World

    Chapter 1758. Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the Legal World


    The money-snatching Lawyer An, what kind of nickname was that?


    Xiao Si sighed, I realized that I had underestimated you in the past. Fortunately, we are friends, and I now fully understand that its better to offend a viin than awyer. But then again, how did you and Xu Baohan end up together?


    An Lan coughed lightly. She knew that he must have watched the video that had been taken today.


    At that time, she had only focused on the publicity and hadpletely ignored the fact that Xu Baohan would also appear in the video.


    Uh we bumped into each other by chance. That ce is closer to the court, and he was eating nearby.


    No wonder, I was wondering why the two of you got together, Xiao Si said, I find that you judges andwyers are too ruthless. You must not get together. Otherwise, with the eloquence of you two, anyone who sees you will have to take a detour to avoid offending you, just like that Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the legal world. If they go down the wrong path, they are in cahoots with each other.


    An Lan was calm and cold. Mr. Xiao, if you dont know how to describe it, then dont talk nonsense.


    Xiao Siughed. An Lan, I believe that you will be able to make aeback very soon. Oh yes, the next party will be your treat. Its your fault for earning tens of thousands today.


    An Lan simply had no strength to retort. Compared to you guys, is this called earning more? You guys canpare to me anytime, okay?


    Dont say that. What we earn is hard-earned money, Xiao Si said shamelessly.  Unlike you, just move your lips.


    An Lan spat. She was toozy to talk to him.


    At 9 pm, after lying in bed, An Lan found the Douyin video that Xiao Si had mentioned. She expected it to be popr, but she didnt expect it to be so popr. She also thought that many people would scold her, but after reading thements, the trend was quite strange.


    A weirdo in the universe: After watching the video, I actually think that the money-snatching Lawyer An is quite cool. Will I be scolded to death?


    There were more than a hundred replies to thisment. Capital A replied: So Im not the only one who feels this way. Originally, I was quite disgusted with An Lan, but after hearing what she said, it actually made sense. What right do we have to morally kidnap her?


    Long Zaifei replied: People who understand thew are really different in defending their rights. In the future, I must go studyw. I fell in love withw.


    Awesome Magician: Bro has decided. In the future, when I go to court, I will look for An Lan to rob money. Even if I lose, she is beautiful and has a personality. She loves money very much and is very righteous. Bro appreciates her.


    Little Baby Shuishui: Who is the man who is helping An Lan? He is quite handsome. He is not any worse than a celebrity. When he talks aboutw, he is really manly..


    Pumpkin Loves Potato: I know, I know, thats the chief judge of Xia Citys court. Wow, how did these two get together? Lets give them a way out.


    An Lan was quite satisfied. Everyones misunderstanding of her was gradually getting better, but when she saw the end, she was quite depressed. Why did everyone think that she and Xu Baohan were a couple? However, Xu Baohans identity had been exposed so quickly. After all, he was a member of the government, it wouldnt affect him, right?


    After all, he had helped her today. An Lan didnt want to drag him into this. She also knew that someizens were actually quite scary.


    She thought about it and started looking for Rule of Law for Life on WeChat. However, after searching for a long time, she still couldnt find it. After looking through it carefully, she realized that Xu Baohans WeChat name had actually changed to White Horse not Horse.


    She didnt believe it at first, but then she looked at his WeChat moments. It was all about legal retweets and promotions, confirming that this was Xu Baohan

 Chapter 1759. Why Did You Change Your Pretentious WeChat Name

    Chapter 1759. Why Did You Change Your Pretentious WeChat Name


    She sent a WeChat message over: Chief Judge Xu, how did you change your pretentious WeChat name?


    About ten minutester, White Horse Not Horse replied: Whats the matter?


    Erin:  You havent answered my question.


    White Horse Not Horse: Im looking at the case files. Please say it if you have something.


    It meant dont say it if you have nothing.


    An Lan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She shouldnt have asked him about it. His identity had been exposed by theizens, and it was none of her business.


    However, since he had already asked, out of morality, she still replied: Have you seen Douyin? I was on the video with you. Someizens have exposed your identity, it shouldnt affect you, right?.


    White Horse Not Horse: No, Im just being right and justified.


    An Lan thought about it and agreed, so she didnt ask any more questions. She only replied, Alright then, take a look at the information. I wont bother you anymore.


    After that, they didnt contact each other again.


    The next day, someone came to Zhenyuan to enquire about moral kidnapping that An Lan mentioned. What surprised An Lan was that there were really quite a number of people who had been kidnapped by morality. It was probably because when she mentioned that four words, many people resonated with her. Many also sincerely asked for her advice. Of course, An Lan also replied bluntly, Consultation is fine, but my hourly consultation fee is currently at a minimum of 1,800 yuan. This is the price after my value has plummeted. A whileter, it would be 3,000 yuan an hour.


    The intern, Yan Wen, was dumbfounded. After another consultant came out from An Lans office in the afternoon, Yan Wen walked in with admiration, Lawyer An, I realized that youre really amazing. A while ago, you were criticized so badly that you couldnt even stay in the country anymore. Youve turned around so beautifully so quickly, and there are even more people consulting you than before. When will I be able to earn as much as you do in a day?


    An Lan smiled bitterly. Is it that much? Its not even a third of what I earned in a day previously.


    Yan Wen wanted to cry to death at any moment. They were allwyers, and there was no need to be so discouraging.


    Theres nothing to be sad about. Li Yuchen walked in and patted her shoulder. Your Lawyer An is throwing caution to the wind and asking for money without any shame. She is now known in the industry as a money robber.


    Otherwise, some people will always think that you are easy to bully if you dont speak up. An Lan said lightly.


    Alright, others may not know, but I know you, Li Yuchen said with a smile, You said so much in the video yesterday, but you didnt mention that you took 5,000 yuan from Chen Liang in thewsuit against Chen Juan Qi. Of that, 2,000 yuan was given to Yan Wen. If you really told the truth, people wouldnt say that you were desperate for money.


    My daughter has just died. Why bother so much just to feel happy? An Lan shrugged in self-mockery after she finished speaking.


    You are sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Li Yuchen shook his head helplessly. Since you are back, you should start handling the case. Take a look at this case file and be my assistant this time.


    An Lans face was ck. Are you kidding me? You want me to be your assistant?


    Why not? Although there are many people consulted you today, you lost the casest time and it affected the clients confidence in you. You should find something to do first. Li Yuchen left smugly.


    Xu Baohan had been very busy recently. He had a few difficult cases in his hands, and he worked overtime every day until ten oclock before returning home.


    The video had been going on for a few days, and many people in the court had seen it as well. Director Liang immediately called him over. Whats going on between you and that youngwyer, An Lan?


    Xu Baohan frowned and thought for a while before replying, I saw injustice on the road, so I lent a helping hand.

 Chapter 1760. Soon Become Chief Judge Xu’s Girlfriend

    Chapter 1760. Soon Be Chief Judge Xu��s Girlfriend


    Dean Liang:


    Be frank. After a while, Dean Liang snapped, That restaurant is said to be an elegant vegetarian restaurant nearby. Why would a person like you, who only frequent home cooked food restaurant, go there?


    Xu Baohan was helpless. Everyone in the court was smart.


    Have you found a girlfriend? Director Liang asked with a smile.


    Director, since when you started gossiping? Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his eyebrows.


    Director Liang said earnestly, The countrys poption is aging rapidly. The country advocates having a second child, but you dont even have a child. As a government official, we should respond to the call at any time and get married for the harmonious development of socialism. Look at you, youre the only one in the bureau who hasnt gotten married in your early thirties. Of course, I have to care more. Work is important, but dont ruin your happiness.


    Xu Baohan was speechless. After a long time, he had no choice but to say, I went on a blind date.


    With who? It cant be this littlewyer, right? Director Liang was shocked.


    Yes.


    Director Liang sighed. Why would you go on a blind date with awyer? You have to be more careful with the information regarding the marriage cases in the future. Even if you two are very clear about your work, peoples words are really scary.


    Its purely a coincidence. Xu Baohan paused, remembering An Lans appearance. He added, Theres nothing bad about it. Shes very strong. Even if I devote myself to my work in the future, she can still protect herself.


    Dean Liang was stunned, after a while, he said, Youre just getting married purely for the sake of getting married. Your Life is quite long, you still have to find someone you like and have feelings for. However, if you have such thoughts, you probably wont end up with her, so I wont worry too much about it. However, in order to avoid it, you should avoid the cases that An Lan has taken over temporarily.


    Xu Baohan frowned. Why is it I wont end up with her?


    Dont women look for men to marry in the hope of having someone to rely on in the future? Everyone has their sicknesses and frailties at some points in their lives. Your thoughts are just trying to take advantage of the girls. Youd better not trouble others, you might as well devote your limited energy to your work. You may leave. Director Liang waved his hand.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows that could kill a fly as he turned around and walked out.


    A weekter, An Lan was sent to the court by Li Yuchen with the documents for the filing of the case.


    It was almost four in the afternoon when she arrived at the court. There was a queue again and she was busy until almost five in the afternoon. An Lan passed the documents to the staff, sister Zhang.


    Sister Zhang was shocked when she saw her. Lawyer An, why did youe in person? Eh, you are actually the assistantwyer this time.


    An Lan smiled calmly and lied, This case involves a huge amount of money. Lawyer Li asked me to help him.


    Indeed, its more than a billion yuan in total. Sister Zhang looked at the information and said, Alright, wait by the side. Ill inform you when Im done.


    Then, sister Zhang recorded the information and called again. It took her more than ten minutes to finish. The judge will mail the summons in a week.


    An Lan nodded and turned to leave. Suddenly, she heard a colleague ask sister Zhang, Which judge will be assigned to this case?


    I dont know, but Its not Chief Judge Xu, said sister Zhang.


    Why?


    Sister Zhang chuckled, You dont know. Thiswyer An may soon be Chief Judge Xus girlfriend thus have to avoid him.


    Ah


    An Lan, who had walked to the door, felt a row of crows fly past her head. She couldnt help but turn back, Sister Zhang, when will I soon be Chief Judge Xus girlfriend?

 Chapter 1761. Perhaps... We’re a Good Match

    Chapter 1761. Perhaps... We��re a Good Match


    Sister Zhang, who had just finished sharing the gossip behind An Lan, replied awkwardly, I heard from others. Many people in the court know about the blind date between you and Judge Xu.


    An Lan was also embarrassed and gritted her teeth. Where did this rumore from? Could it be Xu Baohan?


    Sister Zhang noticed her silence and quickly smiled. Actually, theres no need to be embarrassed. Both of you are unmarried, and Chief Judge Xu is our court belle.


    An Lan felt mentally and physically exhausted. Your chief judge is the flower of the high mountains, I dont dare to pluck it myself.


    Dont say that, at least this is the first time weve heard that Chief Judge Xu went on a blind date, Sister Zhang said mischievously. Anyway, the higher-ups said that for the sake of the fairness of the court, the two of you have to avoid being in the same court.


    An Lan was embarrassed. Wasnt it just a blind date?


    But thinking about it, it was actually a good thing. Zhenyuan and Xu Baohan really didnt get along well. Whenever they met Xu Baohan, they would never win. As long as they avoided him as the chief judge, it wouldnt be too bad, after all, before they came, Li Yuchen had specially offered incense in front of the god of wealth of thew firm, hoping that this time, the chief judge wasnt Xu Baohan.


    The incense had not been wasted, so when she got back, she would ask him to share more with her.


    When she came out of the office, it was raining heavily outside. Her car was still parked in the courtyard, and if she ran down now, she would definitely get wet, so she might as well wait for the rain to subside.


    After standing in the corridor for more than ten minutes, Xu Baohan had just walked down the stairs and seemed to have just left the courtroom. He was dressed in a wide ck judges robe, with a red front and golden buttons.


    To be honest, this set of clothes was indeed very solemn and serious, but An Lan didnt really like it from her view.


    However, when this set of clothes was worn on the handsome Xu Baohan, his entire body seemed to be coated with ayer of brilliance that didnt lose its restraint. At the same time, he exuded a cold and stern aura that made people respect and not dare to offend him. However, his pair of slender legs looked like a male model under the ck clothes.


    An Lans gaze lingered on his long legs for a while before she raised her head again. Xu Baohans gaze was as deep as the ocean as he looked at her.


    After looking at each other for two seconds, An Lan came back to her senses and quickly walked over. Chief Judge Xu, you came at the right time. I have something to ask you. Now, why does everyone in your courtyard know about my blind date with you? Did you tell them?


    Xu Baohan was slightly taken aback. Does our department know about this?


    Dont you know? An Lan said unhappily. I just came over to hand in the case files. Your colleagues are all talking about this.


    Xu Baohan frowned. This was something that only Dean Liang and Director Chen had mentioned. It must havee from their mouths. I will exin to the deanter. Although we have been on blind date before, our rtionship has never progressed further. We have never contacted each other in private, so there is no need to do this for the time being


    The more An Lan listened, the more she felt that something was amiss. After all, she didnt want to meet him in court for now, especially since she wanted Li Yuchen to win the case and increase her share of the profits. No, no, no, I feel that the court has done a very good job in evading, thats how it should be.


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows.


    An Lan cleared her throat and quickly said, After all, rumors are terrible, right? Were unmarried man and woman, one is handsome while the other is beautiful. Even if were honest and magnanimous in our hearts, others wont think that way.


    Xu Baohan asked, What will others think?


    Perhaps they will think that we are a good match. An Lan said as she braced herself.

 Chapter 1762. Weird for SuChapter a Cold and Aloof Person to Say that He Was Short of Money

    Chapter 1762. Weird for SuChapter a Cold and Aloof Person to Say that He Was Short of Money


    We are a good match Xu Baohan lowered his voice slightly, but there was a deeper meaning in hisst word.


    An Lan was afraid that he would let his imagination run wild, so she quickly exined, Im talking about other peoples thoughts. Without understanding us, other people would think that our appearance and work unit are not bad and we are a good match. But in reality, we both know that our personalities are not suitable at all, and its impossible for us to be together.


    What you said is quite contradictory. Xu Baohan thought for a while and concluded.


    No, I said it very clearly, An Lan smiled. Someone as smart and wise as Chief Judge Xu would definitely understand.


    Yes, its alright. Xu Baohan threw his head out of the window. The heavy rain that was pouring earlier had gradually diminished. Oh yes, I suddenly remembered that Lawyer An, you still owe me a meal. Since I have some time in the evening, you can treat me.


    An Lan had a headache. Initially, the people in the courtyard had all misunderstood her. If they walked out together, they would definitely misunderstand her even more. Does a high-ranking person like Chief Judge Xu still want a treat from me?


    Yes, I do. Xu Baohan nodded. Recently, the house is being renovated, Im short of money. Im a little tight.


    An Lan:


    It was weird for such a cold and aloof person to say that he was short of money.


    I have to pay the mortgage, too.


    Yeah, I heard from Nian Junting that youre good at investing in real estate. You have several houses. Xu Baohans deep gaze fell on her face. Thats good. I dont even have the chance to pay the mortgage.


    With that being said, what reason did she have to turn down this meal?


    Dont look like youre ready to die, Xu Baohan said after a moment of silence. After all, youre currently paid 1,800 an hour for consultation.


    How do you know? An Lans expression turned odd.


    I heard from my colleagues that youve been quite famous recently, Xu Baohan said as he shifted his gaze away.


    An Lan didnt suspect anything. She had been quite famous on the inte recently, with more than 100,000 followers on Weibo.


    Lets eat at the nearby family restaurant, Xu Baohan decided.


    An Lan couldnt help asking, How did you know that I was free tonight


    Youre going on a blind date again? Xu Baohan asked directly.


    No, An Lan felt helpless. How much do I love blind dates in your mind? Let me tell you, thest time was my first blind date, alright? In the past, I always rejected blind dates, but you, Chief Judge Xu, have been busy renovating your house. Do you want to get married and move into a new house as soon as possible?


    No, the new house is close to the court, its convenient to go home after the renovation. Xu Baohan asked straightforwardly, Do you want to treat me? I am fine with anything.


    After he said that, he stared straight at her.


    His gaze seemed to be saying silently, Youre so stingy that you refuse to treat me to a home-cooked meal even though youre paid 1,800 an hour for consultation.


    No, its on me. Im very honored to be able to treat Chief Judge Xu, An Lan said, resigning to her fate. Where is the ce? Please lead the way.


    Theres no need to drive. Its a five or six-minute walk. Wait for me at the door, Ill go get the umbre. Xu Baohan arranged.


    At 5:30, Xu Baohan came out from his office with a navy blue umbre. An Lan happened to be standing with her back facing him in the corridor. She was wearing a ck and grey windbreaker with stockings and high heels underneath. Her ankles were sexy and her body was thin and straight, her almond-colored curly hair was tied up.


    The fine rain drizzled down. She ced one hand in the pocket of her windbreaker and reached out with her other hand to receive it.

 Chapter 1763. Bo Han, Are You Finally Welcoming Spring

    Chapter 1763. Bo Han, Are You Finally Weing Spring


    Xu Baohan stared at her for half a minute before he walked over with his long legs, Lets go.


    As he spoke, he took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.


    An Lan was stunned.


    Wipe your hands, he said simply.


    An Lan received it in shock and wiped her wet fingers.


    Xu Baohan opened the umbre and An Lan looked at the umbre on his head. It was a normal umbre, not too big or too small. But when she thought about how she had to squeeze under the umbre to go to the restaurant with him, she felt weird and definitely awkward.


    She thought for a while and said, Id better drive there. Otherwise I have toe backter to pick up the car. Wearing high heels is also not very convenient.


    Xu Baohan frowned and thought for a moment, Are you sure?


    Sure.


    Xu Baohan nodded in agreement. Its a restaurant on the left called Home Cuisine Restaurant. Its very eye-catching and has a bright red signboard.


    An Lan,


    It was really a casual name for a home cuisine restaurant. Chief Judge Xu, you were also eating so casually that even she, who was treating, felt a little embarrassed.


    Lets go, Ill send you to the car. Xu Baoan covered her with half an umbre.


    Actually, it was only about 20 meters away. An Lan wanted to run over, but when she saw him move the umbre over, she was too embarrassed to refuse.


    She tried her best to keep a distance from him, but the umbre was only that big. The rain thus fell on her shoulder.


    Xu Baohan saw it and silently moved the umbre over.


    An Lan also noticed that his shoulder was exposed, so she quickly said, Chief Judge Xu, dont worry about me, just cover yourself.


    It doesnt matter, Ill only send you to the car, its not too far, Xu Baohans good-looking face remained indifferent.


    It was off work time. He bumped into a few colleagues on the way to the parking lot. When they saw the two of them holding an umbre, the colleagues all smiled mysteriously. When Judge Zhao got his car out, he opened the window and gave a strange smile, Bo Han, are you finally weing spring? Haha, Lawyer An, not bad, youve even taken care of the most difficult judge in our court.


    An Lan was speechless. Just as she was about to exin, Xu Baohan frowned and said, Lawyer Zhao, youre thinking too much. Were not even friends.


    Is that so Judge Zhao raised his hand. Then keep up the good work and try to let us drink your wedding wine as soon as possible. Every time, its you who drink our wine, causing us to feel quite embarrassed.


    Judge Zhao drove off in his small car.


    An Lan nced at the people beside her. Now, the people in the court have misunderstood us even more.


    Mm, Xu Baohan nodded. I reckon that we wont be able to meet in court for a while.


    An Lan suddenly fell silent. Thinking about it, there were actually some benefits out of it.


    After getting into the car, An Lan thanked him and Xu Baohan walked towards the home-cooked food restaurant with an umbre.


    An Lan drove over and within two minutes, she saw the home-cooked food restaurant. She had thought about it being simple and crude, but she didnt expect it to be so simple. Under the vulgar signboard, there were words like hot tripe, stir-fried beef, boiled fish


    An Lan had been to such a restaurant when she was studying in Xia City, but after studying abroad, she had never been there again. Of course, sometimes she would workte into the night at thew firm and order fast food. She rarely set foot in it.


    What made An Lan even more troubled was that there was no parking space in this ce. She searched for a long time and finally found a ce that was even further away from the court before she parked her car.


    Fortunately, she had an umbre in her car, but it was not suitable to walk in the rain in high heels and stockings. She had to change into a pair of sneakers and walk for ten minutes before she reached the restaurant.

 Chapter 1764. Romance Was Even More Ridiculous

    Chapter 1764. Romance Was Even More Ridiculous


    Xu Baohan was sitting at the door, sipping his tea elegantly. Seeing that she had finally arrived, he nced at her sneakers and said, Was the car parked far away? Its not convenient to find a parking spot here.


    Why didnt you tell me earlier? An Lan red at him. He was quitefortable, it was hard for her to be running around in the rain.


    I thought you knew, Xu Baohan said doubtfully. You often run to the courthouse, dont you know that theres no parking allowed in this row?


    An Lan sighed speechlessly. How would she know? It wasnt like she was working here.


    She sized up the restaurant. It was rtively clean, but other than these two advantages, she couldnt find any other advantages.


    Are you sure you want me to treat you to a meal here? An Lan repeated. I remember theres a courtyard near your court where you can eat Hui cuisine, Japanese cuisine, and steak restaurants.


    Xu Baohan didnt say anything, but thedy boss, who was holding a cup of tea, smiled. Thats right, Judge Xu. When youre dating a girl, you have to go to a romantic ce. Its not appropriate for you toe to a restaurant like ours for a date.


    An Lan was embarrassed. She had never seen ady boss who would send customers away, so she could only say that Xu Baohan must be very close to them. She quickly exined, Were not dating, he did me a favor, so Im treating him to a meal.


    In any case, Ive never seen Judge Xu bring such a beautiful and exquisite girl to our restaurant before, the Lady Boss said with a smile. Its always his group of colleagues.


    Lets order, this ce is pretty good, Xu Baohan said inly. It has the taste of home-cooked food.


    An Lan was slightly taken aback. Seeing that, she did not try to persuade him. Do you have a private chamber?


    Yes.


    Thedy boss brought them in. The private chamber was very simple and crude. There were only four white walls, not even wallpaper.


    An Lan asked Xu Baohan to order. Since its my treat, youll definitely order.


    Xu Baohan did not stand on ceremony and ordered a few special dishes.


    Please serve quickly, An Lan reminded.


    After thedy boss left, Xu Baohan asked, Do you have anything to attend to?


    No, but I want to go back early to read the files. An Lan really wanted to tell him the truth. She couldnt possibly stay in such an ugly and unromantic private chamber and eat with him for a long time, alright!


    Besides, what else could a restaurant like this do besides eating? It was even more ridiculous to be in a romantic rtionship.


    Are you familiar with thedy boss? An Lan asked.


    Yes, Ive been eating here for five or six years. Im familiar with her, Xu Baohan said.


    An Lan didnt know what to say. He had been eating here for five or six years and had never changed. This was great!


    Nian Junting had mentioned that his parents had divorced, and that the cause of the divorce was because his uncle was involved in awsuit and he didnt help. So his rtionship with his father became strained. Although it was not known how his father divorced his mother, it seemed to be rted to Xu Baohan. His mother didnt seem to have a good rtionship with Xu Baohan either.


    She suddenly could understand how it was like. She was also not in good terms with her family. If she went back, they didnt even cook for her.


    A hint of sadness shed across her eyes.


    Xu Baohan asked sharply, What are you thinking about?


    I need to go to the washroom.


    An Lan felt that she and Xu Baohan had simr family background, but she didnt think that she needed to discuss this with him. After all, he wasnt someone who would be interested in these things, and she didnt need to get to know him better.


    That was because they were twopletely different people, both in terms of personality and lifestyle.

 Chapter 1765. Too Appetizing

    Chapter 1765. Too Appetizing


    More than ten minutester, the dishes were served one after another.


    Although it was a small ce, it looked, smelled, and tasted good. It indeed had the taste of a home-cooked meal.


    An Lan felt that eating here was indeed better than cooking at home.


    The dishes and oil here are clean. After eating for a while, Xu Baohan suddenly said, Its better than the one at the vegetarian restaurantst time.


    Yes, thats right, An Lan nodded. Its very delicious.


    Xu Baohan lowered his gaze when he heard that. The gratification in the depths of his eyes disappeared in an instant.


    After about half an hour, thest small fire beef tripe was served. An Lan ate two bowls of rice for the first time, then wiped her red lips and went out to pay the bill.


    It was only a little over a hundred yuan. It was practically the cheapest meal An Lan had eaten in the past few years.


    After returning to the private chamber, Xu Baohan had finished his meal. An Lan said, Chief Judge, thank you for inviting me to a delicious and affordable dinner. It was indeed delicious. Im making a move now. I wish you a happy life, Chief Judge Xu, and a good appetite.


    Xu Baohan,


    Goodbye. An Lan carried her bag and waved her hand as she left, leaving the clouds behind.


    Xu Baohan looked down at his watch. It was only 6:20.


    When he returned to his office, the young assistant, Su Run, who had been left behind to work overtime, was eating his bento while burying his head in his documents.


    When he saw that Xu Baohan had returned, he quickly asked, Chief Judge, why are you back already? Heard that you went on a date with Lawyer An?


    Xu Baohans sharp gazended on him. Su Run covered his mouth and said embarrassedly, Lawyer Zhao said it in the office group. Some of my colleagues also said that they saw you guys going to a home-cooked restaurant to eat.


    Yes, we left right after we finished eating. Xu Baohan sat down and looked at the documents on the table, stunned.


    He had originally set aside two hours for this meal, but why did it only take him 40 minutes toe back? His efficiency was no less than eating fast food.


    Its too fast, how can a date be so fast? Su Run was embarrassed. I know, you guys shouldnt have gone to the home-cooked restaurant, the food there is too low-quality.


    Xu Baohan was confused. Isnt that what eating is all about?


    My Chief Judge, thats not true. Su Run was really worried about his leaders happiness. He was hoping that his leader would settle down and start a family soon, not working overtime so desperately that he didnt even have time to spend with his girlfriend. Its okay for us to go to the home-cooked restaurant for a meal, we cane back and work overtime after eating. When a man and a woman go out for a meal, its to cultivate their rtionship. When the food is too appetizing, they eat very fast. They throw away their bowls and leave. How can they talk to each other? When the lights are dim, they kiss and hold hands, then they say theyre going to watch a movie or something, then they continue to hold hands and kiss


    Shut up, Xu Baohans cold gaze swept past him as he picked up his teacup. We just went out for a meal, we dont have any dirty thoughts.


    Then maybe Im overthinking.


    Faced with the authority of his leader, Su Run immediately gave up, but he still added weakly, But let me remind you that you wont be able to kiss Lawyer Ans mouth if you continue to eat this way for the rest of your life.


    Xu Boyan had just finished a mouthful of tea when he choked on thest sentence. It took him a long time to recover. He turned his face away and looked out of the French window. His cold face was inexplicably warm.


    He really didnt think too much about it.


    However, at this moment, when he recalled An Lans sharp red lips, it seemed that it wasnt that conflicted

 Chapter 1766. Money Could Not Eliminate Loneliness

    Chapter 1766. Money Could Not Eliminate Loneliness


    On Monday, when An Lan went to thew firm, her colleagues looked at her mysteriously.


    Li Yuchen came over with a smile, Lawyer An, youre not buddy enough. Weve been partners for so many years, and you didnt even tell us that you were secretly developing a rtionship with Chief Judge Xu.


    Yan Wen looked at him with admiration. As expected of my boss, she couldnt defeat Chief Judge Xu in court, so she decided to break through emotionally.


    An Lan was speechless. This news was really spreading


    Lawyer Li, pleasee in.


    After closing the office door, Lawyer An turned around. Lawyer Li, this Wan Qis case definitely wont be Xu Baohans.


    Li Yuchen chuckled, I understand. With all the rumors flying around, the court will definitely avoid the two of you.


    An Lan nodded, This is all because Im close to Xu Baohan. The court thinks that we have an ambiguous rtionship, so they wont allow us to be in the same courtroom for the time being. Actually, we are as simple as clear water. Otherwise, the main judge this time might also be Xu Baohan. He and ourw firms personalities are simply at odds with each other, so


    Thats why you decided to sacrifice yourself and use your charm to win him over? Li Yuchens eyes lit up and he gave her a thumbs up. Brilliant, truly brilliant. Its much better than me worshipping the gods in thepany.


    An Lans mouth twitched. Didnt you hear what I said earlier? Were as pure as water. However, I did sacrifice myself for thepany. I want to increase my share of this case.


    Li Yuchen wanted to cry, but he had no tears. Dont be like this


    60-40 split, An Lan thought for a moment and said, If I meet with Chief Judge Xu in the court and we never meet again without even greeting each other, we might run into him as the chief judge very soon, so the share is really very low.


    An Lan


    Do you think 60-40 split is too little? Do You Want 50-50 split? An Lan smiled. Yes, you can.


    You really know how to steal money. Li Yuchen could not take it anymore. Alright, 60-40.


    Dont worry. Its just this one case. I wont be your assistant for the next case. The money is really too little. An Lan sighed and sat on the leather chair.


    Li Yuchen touched his forehead. An Lan, you dontck money. Why are you always thinking about earning so much money? No matter how much money you have, it cant eliminate the loneliness in your heart.


    Earning money will make me happy, and its the only thing I can find joy in now. An Lan nced at him indifferently. If you dont feel happy, then lets split it 50-50.


    No, no, no. Although I dontck money, earning money makes me happy. Li Yuchen waved his hand and quickly left.


    An Lan pursed her lips and turned her chair to look out of the French window. The sun was shining brightly outside, but the smile on her lips inexplicably dimmed.


    For the next few days, an LAN buried herself in preparing for the case. Even on weekends, she worked overtime in thepany.


    The case this time was mainly about the divorce between Wan Qi, the owner of a chain restaurant, and her hubby Cheng Lei. The couple started from scratch and started a sessful business together. Ten years ago, Wan Qi slowly retired from thepany and returned to the family. The restaurant business was thriving, however, her husband proposed a divorce. Now, the couple had opinions on the division of the property. Wan Qi thought that Yan Lei was cheating, but she had never found any evidence.


    Lawyer An, this case is difficult, Yan Wen said. Cheng Lei is very cunning. He slowly transferred the property five years ago.

 Chapter 176781. Mr. Xu, An Ning’s Family Was here

    Chapter 176781. Mr. Xu, An Ning��s Family Was here


    Whats so difficult about it? An Lan flipped through the information with one hand and rested her other hand on her temple, Ourw firm has handled many such cases where heartless husbands abandon their wives and took away the properties and monies. Cheng Lei made preparations five years ago, so he left more evidence behind. You


    As she was speaking, her phone suddenly rang.


    When she saw the number, An Lans expression instantly turned serious. Doctor Liu, its An Ning


    An Nings condition has worsened recently, Doctor Liu said. Yesterday, while she was sunbathing in the courtyard, she suddenly attacked another patient. When our medical staff tried to pull her away, the staff was injured by her


    Im sorry, An Lan said, Ille over immediately. Illpensate you.


    An Lans car stopped at the entrance. Looking at the words Xia Citys First Mental Hospital above her head, her mood was indescribably heavy every time she came.


    The environment of this ce was very good. There were many trees and flowers inside. She found the best ce for An Ning to stay, but she could not hide the fact that this was a ce that only mentally ill people would stay.


    Could mentally ill people still enjoy the scenery?


    Could they still enjoy it?


    She really did not know. This was the only thing she could do.


    As she walked in, she saw Doctor Liu who was in charge of An Nings condition after registration. Im sorry to have troubled you, but I heard that An Nings condition had slightly improved a few days ago.


    Thats right. Thats why I let her out of the room, hoping her tomunicate with the patient which would be beneficial for her recovery, Doctor Liu exined. When she was ying with Sun Xiaoxiao today, she suddenly pushed Sun Xiaoxiao to the ground. Sun Xiaoxiaos head hit her forehead, and she was injured and bleeding. Although it wasnt too serious, her behavior was aggressive. After that, we gave her a sedative and locked her in the room.


    An Lan furrowed her brows deeply. There should be a reason for this. Was it because she was provoked by the outside world or because it just happened suddenly?


    Ive asked Sun Xiaoxiao about it. She said that she was just chatting with An Ning about some new songs that have be very popr recently


    An Lans heart skipped a beat. Whose songs are we talking about?


    Yan Sus.


    An Lan had an iparable headache.


    Is there a reason? Doctor Liu asked tentatively. I hope that I have a good understanding of the patients condition.


    Actually, An Ning used to go to the same school as Yan Su. She also liked Mo Liuxi and subconsciously regarded Yan Su as her rival in love. She even did some bad things, An Lan said with a bitter smile. It seems that her illness is not improving.


    Doctor Liu recorded an LANs words in his notebook, An Ning was too narrow-minded and extreme in the past. Maybe even if she gets better, her character may not necessarily improve. Maybe I need to change the treatment method. Oh, yes, Sun Xiaoxiaos person-in-charge is also here. The other party is quite angry


    I understand. I will apologize andpensate her. Please lead the way, An Lan replied politely.


    Doctor Liu nodded and led her to the ward.


    Room 302. The door was open. Doctor Liu knocked on the door and entered. Mr. Xu, An Nings family is here.


    An Lan followed him in. Then, she saw Xu Baohans tall and handsome figure standing in the 10-square-meter ward. His short ck hair was soft and thick, and his eyes were deep and dark. He was wearing a ck suit with the buttons unbuttoned casually, the white shirt underneath was exposed.


    Some men in ck suits looked like they were working in real estate, but he was dressed like a leader, dignified and noble.

 Chapter 1768. He Lowered His Head and Held An Lans Hand Slightly Tight

    Chapter 1768. He Lowered His Head and Held An Lan''s Hand Slightly Tight


    On the bed behind Xu Baohan was a girl in a white hospital gown. She seemed to be in her early twenties. She had fair and clearplexion. Her eyes were as innocent as a deer and there was a bandage on her head.


    An Lan was stunned.


    Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips and his brows furrowed even more, but obviously he was also surprised.


    His lips moved slightly, and An Lans red lips opened like a cannonball, Chief Judge Xu, I didnt expect to meet you again under such circumstances. This is Sun Xiaoxiao, right? It seems like youre her family member. Im really sorry for my sisters actions. Whether itspensation or an apology, Im fine with it.


    Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his brows. When he heard that the patient who injured Sun Xiaoxiao was surnamed An, he had thought of an LAN out of nowhere. He did not expect to meet her again here. Theyre all mentally ill people. Tell me, what canpensation or an apology do?


    An Lan nced at Sun Xiaoxiao. She seemed to be in a daze. She even grabbed the corner of Xu Baohans shirt and said foolishly, Papa, Xiaoxiao wants to eat cheesecake.


    An Lan:


    She was shocked but quickly calmed down. Xu Baohan was only in his early thirties. No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him to have a daughter in her twenties.


    Xu Baohan, on the other hand, was no longer as cold as before. He bent down and gently stroked her head. Alright, Ill go buy some for youter.


    An LAN immediately said, How about this, I cane every week to buy Sun Xiaoxiao some cheesecake, or whatever she likes to eat.


    Every week? Xu Baohan was a little surprised.


    Yes, An Lan said. After all, I have to bring some food to An Ning every week. Even if I donte, Ill get my assistant toe.


    Furthermore to be honest, she felt that patients with mental illness were quite pitiful. A piece of cake was nothing to her.


    Lawyer An is actually willing? Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow.


    An Lan was speechless. A piece of cake is only ten yuan. How stingy am I?


    At least you shouldnt be too generous, Xu Baohan said honestly.


    An Lan was so angry that she couldnt speak. For the blind date she had to pay for the juice and he made her treat him to a meal. What right did he have to say that she was stingy.


    She couldnt be bothered with him. An Lan walked up to Sun Xiaoxiao and said gently, Xiaoxiao, An Ning didnt mean to hurt you today. Ill buy you cheesecake from now on, okay?


    Sun Xiaoxiao raised her head and stared at her with her big, confused eyes. Suddenly, she smiled sweetly and hugged her, Mom, youre back to visit Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao loves the cakes that you bought. Dont leave Xiaoxiao.


    An Lans body stiffened. Just as she was about to exin that she was not her mother, Xu Baohan suddenly walked over and said softly, Xiaoxiao must be obedient. Mama wille visit Xiaoxiao whenever shes free.


    An Lan red at him, but Xu Baohan acted as if he did not hear her and patiently peeled the oranges for Sun Xiaoxiao.


    Sun Xiaoxiao looked at him and then at An Lan. Suddenly, she held their hands and put them together. Daddy, Mommy, dont fight anymore. Xiaoxiao will definitely be obedient in the future.


    The child-like innocent and expectant expression in her eyes make An Lan feel a sudden ache in her chest. Xu Baohan did not say anything, but lowered his head to nce at An Lans hand.


    Her hand was warm. There was nothing on her fingers. They were clean and delicate.


    If he used a little more force, he should be able to wrap them up.


    He stopped his gaze, lowered his head and held An Lans hand slightly tight. His voice was unique and hoarse, Yes, Dad will treat Mom well from now on.

 Chapter 1769. Do You... Actually Hate Lawyers

    Chapter 1769. Do You... Actually Hate Lawyers


    An Lan looked at him strangely. Her hand he was holding was burning hot. She twitched but didnt manage to pull it out.


    It wasnt until Sun Xiaoxiao fell asleep that Xu Baohan let go of her hand.


    An Lan opened her mouth and he interrupted her softly, Go out and talk. Dont disturb her.


    An Lan followed him out gloomily. Before Xu Baohan could say anything, Doctor Liu patted his chest and said, It scared me just now. Fortunately, Mr. Xu reacted quickly and admitted that you are Xiaoxiaos mother.


    An Lan looked over in confusion.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips and did not say anything. Doctor Liu looked at his expression and saw that he did not stop him, he then continued. Xiaoxiao mainlycks the love of a father and a mother. She has always imagined that Mr. Xu is her father. She has always treated the female nurse in the hospital as her mother when she is ill. She had also mistaken you for her mother just now. If you deny it, it will trigger her illness and she will be hysterical. She will throw tantrum, smash things and even hurt herself. We could only coax her and let her feel that she is always filled with happiness.


    An Lan then realized that she had initially thought that Xu Baohan was deliberately trying to take advantage of her. But now it seemed like she had been overthinking.


    Lawyer An, I still have to see other patients. If you want to see An Ningter, you can just go to the door, but you cant go in, Doctor Liu advised before leaving.


    Suddenly, she and Xu Baohan were the only ones left on the path in the garden. Xu Baohans gaze fell on her face. He did not really understand womens makeup, but when the sun shone on her face, there were no pores at all. It did not seem like she was wearing heavy makeup, and her lips were not bright either. The faint scent of perfume wafted over, preventing anyone from smelling it.


    An Lan felt his gaze and suddenly recalled the warmth of his hand,. She was feeling a little unnatural. That


    It wasnt intentional just now, Xu Baohan exined first.


    I understand now. An LAN waved her hand. Chief Judge Xu, I didnt know she was your


    Shes the daughter of a client of my trial. Xu Baohan suddenly turned around and looked at a bamboo tree, I was a judge in the county and I received a case. It was Sun Xiaoxiaos parents. One day, when she came back from school, she found her parents dead at home. The reason was because her parents had a conflict with a neighbor and the way they were killed was very cruel. She saw that scene with her own eyes


    After that, she was shocked. However, because she was the first witness to the murder, she had to bear with her grief and testify against the criminal in court. Unfortunately, thewyer hired by the murderer was very good at sophistry. In addition, the negligence of the police in the county had caused some evidence to be missing. It was originally a criminal case that was set in stone, but in the end, thewyer scattered all the evidence and sessfully let the murderer escape.


    An Lan was stunned, recalling Sun Xiaoxiaos appearance just now. For some reason, her heart ached, But Chief Judge Xu, didnt you say that the judge would only judge based on legal perspective? The murderer hasnt been convicted, yet youre so sure that hes the murderer. Thats really not your style.


    Youre right.


    Xu Baohans gaze revealed a rare hint of forbearance, Sun Xiaoxiaos parents case was very obvious. However, it happened seven years ago when thew wasnt perfect enough at that time. This had allowed thewyers to find loopholes. Now, with the progress of the times, thew is gradually improving. Im very gratified, but every time its perfected, theres a loss of justice, and Im helpless.


    An Lans heart froze, and she smiled bitterly. Many of herwyers seemed to be good at finding loopholes. Chief Judge Xu, do you actually hatewyers?

 Chapter 1770. Chief Judge Xu Had His Kind Side

    Chapter 1770. Chief Judge Xu Had His Kind Side


    Xu Baohans gaze paused on her for two seconds before he said, There are nowyers or prosecutors, then theres no need for judges to exist. They all work for thew, theres nothing to hate or dislike.


    An Lan listened to his indifferent and magnanimous words and suddenly remembered the case she lost a few days ago. She had even secretly scolded him in the toilet, which indeed made her seem narrow-minded.


    Im sorry about Lin Haos casest time An Lan sincerely apologized. The incident with Sun Xiaoxiao had allowed her to see Xu Baohans soft side.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips. Whats the point of having the police if apology works? If you really feel apologetic, then treat me to a meal.


    An Lan almost wanted to pick her ears, was he shameless? She was merely apologizing out of emotion, but he actually shamelessly climbed asked her to treat him to a meal.


    Her emotion just now must be due to her short-circuited brain.


    Chief Judge Xu, I remember I just treated you thest time, An Lan said through gritted teeth. You cant always rely on me to treat you to a meal just because you are renovating your house and you need to save money.


    Xu Baohan looked at her calmly. I just feel that the word sorry is useless. It cant be treated as a meal. I think its more practical to eat.


    I refuse, An Lan said without hesitation. To you, the word sorry is very simple. Its just moving your lips, but to me, its a huge amount of courage. It represents my sincerity, so I definitely wont treat you to a meal again.


    Xu Baohans eye brows were deeply furrowed.


    Did she think that what he wanted was that meal? Wasnt it just to find an excuse to get to know each other better.


    Oh yes, Sun Xiaoxiao fell ill because the murderer didnt get a sentence after her parents died? An Lan changed the topic.


    Yes.


    As she didnt agree to that meal, Xu Baohans eyes darkened. She was initially agitated when she saw her parents tragic death. At that time, the police suggested that she receive psychological treatment, but because she had to appear in court, she had to recall that painful experience over and over again. In addition, the murderer was released in court, she couldnt ept it


    An Lan was dejected. If it was her, she would probably be so mad that she wanted to die. She must have hated you very much.


    Xu Baohan nodded. She didnt have the chance to hate me. After the case was over, she went crazy.


    An Lan felt a strong sense of sadness.


    Xu Baohan continued, At first, she was in the countys mental hospital, but the conditions there werent good. After I transferred to Xia City, I brought her here as well. After her parents died, she did have rtives, but none of them was willing to ept a person like her who was mentally ill.


    An Lan understood that mental illness was really scary. Sometimes, they would even do harm to others. I cant tell that Chief Judge Xu has a kind heart, too.


    Youre thinking too much. Xu Baohan didnt seem to like others saying that he had a kind heart. I just feel that this case was handled by me, so Im responsible.


    Youre not responsible, youre just following the rules. An Lan smiled as she looked up at him. Youre just kind-hearted.


    Her eyes were clear and bright.


    Xu Baohan felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness from her stare, his ears were also burning.


    This was his first time he was praised for being kind-hearted. He had seen too many people pointing their noses at him and calling him Cold-blooded and heartless, including his most important family members.


    An Lan, you dont understand me, he said coldly and slowly.

 Chapter 1771. How Could She Leave So Quickly

    Chapter 1771. How Could She Leave So Quickly


    I dont understand, but I do understand a little now. Anyway, Im going to see my sister. Tell me what Sun Xiaoxiao likes to eat on WeChat, An Lan said as she waved her hand and walked towards the ward.


    Xu Baohan was left behind with aplicated expression as he watched her disappear.


    How could she leave so quickly?


    She really waved her sleeves and didnt leave a single cloud behind.


    An Lan walked towards the door of An Nings ward. As she was approaching, she saw a middle-aged couple standing guard at the door and peering through the ss window. The middle-aged woman was covering her mouth and crying.


    An Lan stopped walking and when she was hesitating whether she should go over, her mother, Ji Qian, had already seen her. Her sad expression had turned into anger, What did you stille here? Both of you are sisters. If you werent so cold and heartless, afraid of offending Nian Junting, An Ning wouldnt have be like this.


    The more Ji Qian thought about it, the angrier she became. She pushed away her husbands hand, rushed up and gave her a strong push.


    An Lan was d that she was wearing ts today. She took two steps backward and stood firm. However, after so many experiences and so much time, the saddest thing was the criticism from her parents who didnt understand. Mom, An Ning did something wrong. You can me me for not guiding her properly as her sister, but you cant me me with such a reason.


    Ji Qians body instantly trembled and her eyes turned red, What reason? Im telling the truth. Back then, when your sister was pushed into theke by Mo Liuxi in the winter, you didnt stand up either. After she was discharged from the hospital, her fever never subsided. If it werent for you helping her, would she have run away? She had never suffered since she was young


    In order to avoid you guys and not dare to contact us, she became someone elses mistress in a moment of obsession. Her face was cut by someone, and you only helped her file awsuit forpensation, but she was sent to a mental hospital. Look at her now Shes neither human nor ghost. Even your father and I couldnt recognize her. How could I have given birth to such a heartless daughter like you?


    Ji Qians voice was very loud, causing many people in the hospital toe out to watch themotion.


    Xu Baohan, who was downstairs, was hesitating whether he should leave early when he heard the sound of an argumenting from upstairs.


    The nurse who passed by the corridor asked, Is it the An family arguing here again?


    Yes, every time they run into each other, they have to argue. They had avoided each other a few times before, but unexpectedly they ran into each other again this time.


    Theres nothing that we can do about it. An Ning is really serious this time. We cant just not inform her family, we have to inform them. Besides, we still need An Nings sister to pay for the new treatment n.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows and immediately lifted his leg to head upstairs.


    In the corridor, An Lan rubbed her ears and tried her best to remain calm. Mom, this is a public ce and there are patients living here. Can you lower your voice so that you dont disturb others?


    Why? Are you still afraid of losing face? Ji Qian scolded and cried. Youre already a shameless person who wants money.


    An Lans expression changed slightly.


    Her father, An Zhehui, looked at her with heartache. An Lan, how did you be like this? Although our family isnt a wealthy family, with your mother and my stable jobs, we can at least eat well and wear warm clothes.


    Money isnt as important as family. Can it be exchanged for your sisters health? Look at the things you did in thewsuittely. People outside say that youre robbing money. For Money, you dont even have basic morals. As your father, I really feel embarrassed. How did I educate you to be like this?

 Chapter 1772. Why Hasn’t He Left Yet

    Chapter 1772. Why Hasn��t He Left Yet


    An Lans heart skipped a beat.


    A few days ago, she had been scolded so viciously on the inte that she didnt even dare to go online. But it didnt matter, those people didnt understand her.


    But her parents, who had raised her single-handedly, how could they think that of her.


    She only felt a sharp pain in her throat, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.


    However, pride wouldnt allow her to do that.


    Dad, its fine if others think that about me, but dont you know what kind of person I am? She said in a hoarse voice with difficulty.


    I used to, but now I cant understand you, An Zhehui said with a bitter smile.


    Ji Qian said angrily, You have a house and a car now. What are you not satisfied with? You like Nian Junting and cling to the past, but he doesnt like you. In the end, he married a woman younger than you. Look at you. Youll be almost thirty next year, but youre not married yet. When the neighbors ask, Im too embarrassed to say anything. No matter how rich you are, you cantpare to getting married and having children.


    Thats enough, Mom. Please keep your mouth shut. When did I cling to Nian Junting? Weve always worked together, An Lan was angered by these attacking words though she had to swallow her anger. Im your daughter. Why do you hurt me this way? I know that as a daughter, Im worthy of my parents. Ive never let you eat and wear less than you


    An Lan, what your mother said was harsh, An Zhehui interrupted her. But we dont care about material things. We want a family in harmony. Dad and Mom have pension fund, and we dontck your money. I just want you and your sister to be fine, but its obvious that I didnt educate you well. We as parents are responsible for your sisters plight today, but youre too heartless as an older sister. Dont you feel any regret and guilt at all? Is it that scary to offend the Nian family? Im very disappointed in you, very disappointed.


    An Lan smiled bitterly.


    Her parents would always stand at the highest point of morality and me others.


    Ji Qian continued to say angrily, Besides, is it wrong to love someone? Your sister is wrong to love the wrong person. Before she went to university, she was quite nice and willing to help others. After all, wasnt Mo Liuxi responsible at all


    Stop saying that. An Lan really couldnt take it anymore. She took a deep breath and her eyes gradually became sharp.


    She took a step closer to Ji Qian.


    What are you doing? Did I say anything wrong? Ji Qian couldnt help but take a step back facing her gaze, but she still raised her neck high.


    Dont push all the me on others. An Lans tone gradually turned cold, If it werent for your doting on An Nian over and over again, would she have be like this? She schemed to destroy other peoples rtionships, and in the end, she never repented. If she didnt get the happiness, she also didnt let others get it.


    Then she became a mistress. If you ask me, it was because of your doting that she became a gold-digger and unreasonable person. You didnt even have a bottom line. I dont know how you became parents.


    Shut up, An Zhehui pped her face angrily. You are an unfilial daughter.


    Xu Baohan rushed over and pulled An Lan behind him. He turned his head and saw five red marks on An Lans fair face. His gaze suddenly turned dark. No matter who you are to An Lan, you dont have the right to hit her.


    An Lan looked at the tall figure who had suddenly blocked her way. Why was he still here? Why was he always around whenever she had an argument with someone.

 Chapter 1773. What a Coincidence, My Parents Hate Me, Too

    Chapter 1773. What a Coincidence, My Parents Hate Me, Too


    Who are you? An Zhehui was furious. This is our familys matter, stay out of it. Im teaching my daughter a lesson, get out of my way.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips, his gaze was so dark and deep.


    At this moment, An Lan suddenly appeared beside him, Dad, Ive never needed you to teach me a lesson. Ive always been upright, Ive earned every single cent fair and square. Ive never stolen or robbed, Ive also never been a mistress. The only regret I have is that when An Ning was studying, I was too busy with my work and didnt spare any time to guide her how to distinguish right from wrong. This is my only mistake. Ill do what I should do for An Ning as her sister. I dont need you to stand on the moral high ground and criticize me. I wont be seeing An Ning today, Chief Judge Xu, lets go.


    After saying that, she grabbed her bag and left without looking back.


    Get lost, we dont want a daughter like you. Its so embarrassing, Ji Qian cursed as she pointed at her back.


    Xu Baohan frowned, his thin lips moving slightly. I didnt expect An Lan to have parents like you two.


    After that, he turned and followed.


    An Lan walked downstairs quickly. With every step she took, her heart ached.


    Her eyes were so sour that something seemed to be gushing out of them.


    She resisted the urge to cry. Xu Baohan was following behind her.


    After walking for nearly three minutes, An Lan stopped and turned around abruptly.


    Xu Baohans long legs followed her closely. He couldnt stop himself in time and his chest hit her nose bridge.


    An Lans nose and eyes were so sore from the impact that tears started flowing out of her eyes.


    Xu Baohan was at a loss. It had been a long time since he had seen a woman cry in front of him.


    Especially since An Lans image had always been like a diamond in his heart.


    He felt that the word cry had nothing to do with her.


    But now, she was really crying. Her dark eyes were glistening with tears, her long eyshes were stained with water, and her eyes were red and moist. She was indescribably delicate and moving, making him feel the urge to hug her and protect her.


    Lawyer An Xu Baohans lips were dry and nervous. If you want to cry, just cry. Its not a pleasant thing to fight with your parents.


    An Lan raised her head and stared at him with her big watery eyes, her throat slightly hoarse. Chief Judge Xu, do you know that it was your chest that hit my nose, causing me to cry because of the pain?


    Is that so? Xu Baohan was stunned. Would it hurt that much if I hit your nose?


    If you dont believe, I will punch you in the nose right now. An Lan said unhappily.


    Xu Baohan took a step back defensively, No.


    An Lan:


    She was just joking. She wouldnt dare to hit a judge even if she had ten times the courage to do so.


    Forget it, its fine now. An Lan opened her wallet and took out a tissue to wipe the tears on her face. The white tissue made the fingerprints on her face even more obvious.


    Xu Baohans sharp eyes narrowed.


    Oh yes, I have to thank you no matter what. An Lan raised her face. But dont you hate me? My parents hate me so much.


    Xu Baohan was silent for a moment before he said, What a coincidence, my parents hate me, too.


    The air was silent for a while before An Lan couldnt helpughing. Her eyes were curved. Then wouldnt we be the same?

 Chapter 1774. You Have a Crush on Me?

    Chapter 1774. You Have a Crush on Me?


    Xu Baohan mumbled, Yes, its quite a coincidence, so do you want to treat me to dinner?


    Here we go again.


    An Lan rolled her eyes, Chief Judge Xu, how much money do you need for the renovation? Why do you insist on making me buying dinner?


    Once you get into renovation, its as deep as the ocean.


    An Lan:


    Did renovation cost so much?


    Never thought that she hadnt done it before.


    I can buy you dinner, An Lan said after some consideration. But we have to have some wine.


    I dont drink. I prefer the feeling of being sober and calm. Xu Baohans eyes were filled with conflict. You women shouldnt drink too much. Drinking is harmful to your health. Some problems can not be solved by drinking. This is an escape from the problem.


    An Lan rolled her eyes. I dont think this is an escape. I just want to vent for the time being. If you dont want to go, then forget it. Ill find someone else.


    She started to look for her phone from her bag.


    Xu Baohan thought about who she was going to drink with. He was silent for a while before saying, I can go with you, but I dont drink.


    Then why are you going with me? An Lan said in annoyance. I want someone to drink with me.


    I can send you back, Xu Baohan replied calmly.


    An Lan was stunned. She suddenly took two steps towards him, her beautiful lips curling into a faint smile. Men who send women back usually have ulterior motives. Chief Judge Xu, what do you want? Do you have a crush on me?


    Xu Baohan looked at her with a calm and indifferent gaze, Ensuring the safety of citizens is the responsibility of every member of the judiciary. Furthermore, I can understand your feelings. Sometimes dont care too much about what others say, as long as you have a clear conscience, thats fine.


    An Lan was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she had heard of his past. Did he have the same feelings as her.


    Tell me do you think that working in the legal profession, sometimes people think that we are especially cold-blooded and heartless? She asked in a daze, If we file awsuit for An Ning, we will be scolded by outsiders. If we dont file awsuit for her, we will be scolded by our parents. If she is mentally ill and doesnte to the mental hospital, where else can she go? And for us women, no matter how hard we work, if we dont get married and have children, we will always be criticized by others.


    All along, An Lan had always been fierce in Xu Baohans impression. Now, An Lan who was standing in front of him had a momentary sh of frailty in her eyes.


    Xu Baohans gaze softened slightly without him realizing.


    If he hadnt bumped into her today, perhaps he wouldnt have seen the family behind her riddled with holes.


    Just like him.


    In this society when necessary, people need to be cold and heartless, right?


    Xu Baohan spoke slowly, You dont have to care too much about your parents thoughts. Even though I dont understand them, from what I heard just now, I felt that they were very pedantic and self-righteous. In this new era, there are people who dont want to get married, there are people who are Dink, and there are also people who are gay. Those who look down on you are usually ipetent. Some people think that if they get married, they will be able to live with their reputation, but if they close their doors, they will be more embarrassed than anyone else. In our industry, arent we often faced with the most unbearable people?


    An Lan was stunned, but after thinking about it, it made sense.


    She didnt know how many couples she had filed suit. There were ordinary people and celebrities.


    Yes, thank you, Chief Judge Xu. An Lan smiled sweetly at him.


    She was truly grateful to him. She didnt expect him, who had always been cold and mean, to say such words.

 Chapter 1775. So You Like Nian Junting

    Chapter 1775. So You Like Nian Junting


    Her smile was too dazzling.


    Xu Baohan turned his face away unnaturally and said, By the way, so you like Nian Junting.


    An Lan felt as if someone had stepped on her tail. She said awkwardly, That was a long time ago. When I was in university, wasnt he my senior? I was young and ignorant, only saw the good in him


    Xu Baohan looked at her meaningfully. No wonder you havent married off. Your taste is excellent.


    An Lan, who was feeling grateful just a moment ago, felt as though she had heard a thickyer of sarcasm and dissatisfaction, How am I excellent? CEO Nian is handsome and capable, his grades are good, he is tall and strong, his character isnt that bad, its normal for women to fall in love with him.


    Is that so? Hes also mean, narcissistic and arrogant. Xu Baohan didnt agree with her taste.


    To be honest, when he was in high school, he thought that people like Nian Junting would only fall in love with himself.


    An Lan said angrily, I thought hes your friend. Are you saying bad things about your friend behind his back?


    I think even if he knows, he wont think its bad things about him. Besides, Ive said it in front of him before. Xu Baohan felt her anger and was unhappy, It seems like you still have feelings for him. Youre so excited just because I said a few words about him. Dont forget, he has a family now. He even has a child.


    Im not trying to destroy his family, An LAN red at him.


    Yes, she did like Nian Junting, but that was a long time ago. After getting to know him better, she was impressed by Luo Sang. She really had to tolerate such a man so that she wouldnt be angered to death at any time. She had to be magnanimous.


    Its good that you know that, Xu Baohan nodded and said, As for the handsome and capable man, the good academic results, the tall figure, the good skills, and the good character, there are such men everywhere.


    Just like the man standing in front of her.


    Back then, his grades were even better than Nian Juntings.


    It was just hard for her to say it out loud.


    Yes, yes, youre absolutely right, An Lan nodded. She felt that she had met an old cadre, but she didnt want to discuss with him the embarrassing topic of having a crush on Nian Junting, Anyway, thank you so much for today. Im going to have dinner with my friend.


    Xu Baohan frowned, I just said, can I go for dinner with you? How did you


    But you didnt say that you would drink with me. I want to have a drink with a friend. Goodbye, Chief Judge Xu, An LAN said as she walked towards the parking lot.


    Xu Baohan wanted to get his car, too. He was on the same road as her, and he heard her call a friend, Shuange out for a drink or two. Its my treat If were sisters,e out Im really not in a good mood


    An Lan and Li Shuang agreed on a time and ce and opened the car door. Just as she was about to get into the car, she suddenly realized that Xu Baohan had not left yet. He was standing beside her, looking at her.


    Is there anything else? An LAN asked politely. Why did she feel that Xu Baohans expression seemed to say, I want to go for a meal.


    How luxurious was his house? Even a judge was so short of money that he only wanted to freeload.


    Im just reminding you not to drive after drinking, Xu Baohan said solemnly. Even if youre not responsible for yourself, you have to be responsible for the public.


    Thank you for your kind reminder. Dont worry, I will return home and leave the car before going out for dinner. An Lan felt that the gratitude she had felt from him earlier was slowly fading away.

 Chapter 1776. Spring Has Definitely Arrived for Boss

    Chapter 1776. Spring Has Definitely Arrived for Boss


    What was he talking about? He was purely concerned about the safety of the public. After all, though they werent friends, they were in the same boat. He didnt care about her life and death at all.


    He was too cold.


    He opened the door and got into the car.


    An Lan drove off.


    Xu Baohan watched as her car drove off into the distance. He frowned in confusion. She was fine just a moment ago, but why did she suddenly change her face? Women were really strange animals.


    He looked at the time. It was still early, it was only slightly past four oclock.


    It was better to return to the office.


    At the court, Su Run saw that he had returned and immediately went over with a document. Chief Judge, I need you to sign this. I want to send it to the executive office.


    Xu Baohan looked through the document carefully, then quickly signed his name with a pen.


    Su Run was about to leave when Xu Baohan suddenly called out to him, Do you know about An Lan and her sister?


    Su Runs eyes lit up. He had been with him for many years, and this was the first time he had heard his boss ask about women. Was it easy for him.


    Chief Judge, you and Lawyer An


    Get to the point, Xu Baohan coughed lightly. I went to the mental hospital to visit Xiaoxiao today, but I didnt expect An Lan to visit her sister as well.


    This is fate, Su Run felt that spring had definitely arrived for his boss. However, I only have a slight impression. I saw the news online. It seems that her sister was the mistress of some rich businessman, and the rich businessmans wife found out about it. The other party was also a shrew, and she immediately brought people to look for her sister, causing her face to be disfigured. The rich businessman was scared away, and after that, Lawyer An filed awsuit for her sister, demandingpensation. That incident was blown up by the rich businessmans wife, and the people outside were in the view that Lawyer An was shameless to file awsuit for the mistress. They even scolded her for being a mistress, and she also had a bad reputation after that incident.


    Xu Baohan suddenly understood. No wonder so many people had called her a mistress a few days ago. He didnt investigate further then.


    Cyber violence is getting more and more serious now, Xu Baohan said in an extremely cold tone.


    Yes, Su Run observed his expression. By the way, did you know that An Lan and you both graduated from Xia City University of Law and Politics?


    Xu Baohan looked back at him expressionlessly. Didnt she study abroad?


    Su Run quickly reported the news he had captured recently, She studied at Xia University of Law and Politics for two years before she was sent overseas to further her studies. What a pity, at that time If she hadnt left, or if you hadnt graduated, you and Lawyer An might have met in campus and had a campus rtionship together.


    Xu Baohans lips twitched. His secretary was agile in handling matters, but the only bad thing was that his thoughts were always unrealistic. I never dated in university, which would dy my studies. Furthermore, there were only a few sessful rtionships in university. It was a waste of life.


    Su Run resisted silently in his heart. He had dated a few times and had wasted a lot of his life.


    Go and deliver the documents, Xu Baohan said calmly.


    Su Run walked to the door and looked at his proud back, he turned back and said, Chief Judge, do you still remember the invitation sent by Xia City University of Law and Politics a few days ago? The university has invited you to attend the universitys 30th anniversary celebration next Monday, and to speak on stage.


    Didnt I reject it? Xu Baohan replied coldly.


    But I heard that this celebration is especially grand. In the past, students who graduated sessfully were all invited, Su Run said softly, Lawyer An was sent overseas with excellent results back then. Now that shes doing well in the legal world, she might even go.

 Chapter 1777. I Think He Really Likes You

    Chapter 1777. I Think He Really Likes You


    Xu Baohans hand that was holding the pen suddenly stopped. A few secondster, he turned back with a cold expression. Then go ahead. Actually, theres nothing wrong with attending this kind of speech. Perhaps it will allow more students to choose the path of the court in the future.


    Su Run looked at his serious face and almost died fromughter in his heart. Leader, youre really done for this time.


    Alright, Ill contact the schoolter.


    At the Japanese-style Izakaya.


    In the small private room, An Lan and Li Shuang drank two bottles of soju wine in a row.


    Li Shuang drank until her face waspletely red, Let me tell you, dont listen to your parents nonsense. Dont get married just for the sake of getting married. Even people like me who get married for love actually turn out to be just like this after getting married. They used to love each other desperately, but after getting married, they have to take care of the needs of their daily lives and children. Look at me, a greatwyer and a great beauty who circles around the family and children all day long. Im so tired, I just want to go out and indulge myself.


    An Lans slightly tipsy eyes revealed a look of confusion.


    Some people said that marriage was the tomb of love.


    Some people said that marriage was a wall that trapped people after they entered.


    Shuang, then based on what you said, should I not get married? An Lan was at a loss.


    Thats not true. It has its own happiness. For example, children are quite cute. Li Shuang held her chin, But theres no need to marry just because others say so. At the very least, you have to meet someone who treats you sincerely. You both have the same aspirations and hobbies, dont be anxious.


    An Lan nodded, flipping through the barbecue on the shelf. Her phone suddenly vibrated.


    White Horse Not Horse had actually sent her a WeChat message.


    She opened it in confusion, her face turning green. Xu Baohan had somehow found some news to repost, for example, What happens when a womanes home drunk, A woman cant drink too much outside, hubby can drink more, A woman is dragged into the bushes after getting drunk in the middle of the night


    Li Shuang saw that her expression was getting uglier and uglier, she couldnt help asking, Whats wrong, who sent you the message?


    A lunatic, An Lan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She called Xu Baohan, who she had contacted on the blind date, Why did you send those things?


    I saw the news during dinner, so I sent them to you. Xu Baohans calm voice was transmitted through the microphone, sounding very nice, like the sound of a cello.


    However, An Lan was not in the mood to appreciate his voice. She gritted her teeth. Are you sick? How can you see so many cases of women getting drunk and getting into idents during dinner?


    This shows that the probability of women getting drunk is really high. You can ignore it, but this is a friendly reminder, Xu Baohan said. Im going to eat now, Im hanging up.


    The phone hung up with a beep.


    An Lan angrily ced her phone on the table.


    Who is it? What did they send you to make you so angry? Li Shuang was confused. Let me take a look.


    An Lan was toozy to say anything and directly threw her phone to her.


    Li Shuang looked at it for a while and silently put down her phone. Lets finish this bottle and not drink anymore. Im sick of watching it.


    An Lan thought to herself and felt the same.


    By the way, does this person like you? Li Shuang suddenly said.


    An Lan choked on her wine and coughed a few times. She red at her, Dont talk nonsense.


    I think he really likes you, Li Shuang said. He sent these to tell you not to get drunk. Its obvious that he looked for these news. Look, the date of the news is the year beforest.


    An Lan looked as if she had seen a ghost.

 Chapter 1778. School Anniversary Celebration

    Chapter 1778. School Anniversary Celebration


    He definitely cares about you, but he might not know how to use sweet words. Li Shuang was really worried about her EQ. Cant you feel it at all?


    An Lan shook her head in confusion.


    For a few seconds, she had thought that Xu Baohan might be interested in her, but she was immediately dispelled by his expressionless face and harsh words.


    Is this how it is when you like someone? If you like me, you should at least be as passionate as fire. When you have nothing to do, you would send me roses and treat me to a meal or a movie date instead of always thinking of asking me to treat him to a meal.


    Li Shuang wanted tough, but it was true. You could only be straightforward with someone like An Lan. If you werent, she might not understand the mens twists and turns in rtionship.


    Speaking of which, who is White Horse Not Horse? Is he handsome? Is he rich? Is he capable? Is he someone with potential? Is he a good person? If he doesnt have any of these, just pretend like you dont know


    Xu Baohan, the one Ive told you about, the one whos always up to no good whenever thew firm meets him in court


    Li Shuangs mouth widened in shock. Ive seen him in court from afar before. He has good looks. Youre really lucky.


    An Lans face turned ck. What do you mean? I also have good looks and money. Im not inferior to him.


    Hehe, so its still considered a good match. However, youve cursed him for being impotent after marriage, being cheated on by his wife


    An Lan picked up a piece of meat to block her mouth. So what if he likes me? I dont have feelings for him. Hes too cold and stingy. Its hard to exin. Forget it, lets not talk about this. Are you going to the schools anniversary celebration next week?


    Li Shuang rolled her eyes. I wasnt considered a top student at that time, and now I havent brought glory to the school. The school didnt invite me either, so what am I going to do?


    Are you going? You should apany me. An Lan stared at her with her moving eyes, You know that I left after two years of school. Other than you, I barely had any contact with my former ssmates. Youre more familiar with them, so I wont feel awkward. Moreover, I feel that I will definitely meet people who are full of malice when I attend such an asion where old ssmates meet. After all, I was the belle of the department at that time, and I took out a ce to study abroad. At that time, many people were so jealous that they wanted to eat me up.


    Li Shuang sighed helplessly, Alright, since youve begged me so much, Ill agree to it. But then again, I dont know if Xu Baohan will go. Youve forgotten that he graduated from the University of Law and Politics, and he left with the best ranking in the school. Hes probably the fastest rising among the younger generation, so the school will definitely invite him.


    An Lan was stunned. She felt like she would run into Xu Baohan wherever she went these days.


    But he might not go, Li Shuang suddenly said. I heard that he had been invited to the schools anniversary celebrations in the past, but he rejected all of them. He doesnt seem to like attending these events.


    An Lan nodded. It didnt really matter if she ran into him or not, but now that she knew that he might like her, it felt weird.


    On Monday, the 30th anniversary of the University of Law and Politics was ceberated.


    After An Lan picked up Li Shuang, she drove to the school. After returning to China, other than visiting her former professors during the new year, she rarely came over.


    Today, the school was filled with joy. From the entrance, the history of the University of Law and Politics for the past 30 years was disyed.

 Chapter 1779. Let An Lan Bring Xu Baohan to You

    Chapter 1779. Let An Lan Bring Xu Baohan to You


    Xu Baohans photo appeared on one of the promotional leaflets. It was written on the leaflet about his outstanding achievements, the youngest chief judge after graduating from the University of Law and Politics.


    In the leaflet, he was wearing a ck academic uniform and the cap. This was the Xu Baohan from he was still in school. At that time, his facial features were distinct, and he had a shy and clean smile on his face. It was less fierce, more sunny, and his gaze was less unfathomable. However, one had to admit that Xu Baohan had been handsome ever since he was in university.


    The current Xu Baohan was more like a treasured de that had been sharpened after being unsheathed. He was not as dazzling, but he was more reserved and resolute.


    No one knew what had changed him so much after he graduated.


    TSK TSK, this is what Xu Baohan looked like when he was young, hes so handsome. Li Shuang looked at his youthful face and praised him endlessly. If I had been in the same period as him back then, I would have definitely pursued him.


    Come on, An Lanughed. Maybe he already had a girlfriend in university, it would not be your turn.


    That might not be the case, I think people like Chief Judge Xu would only know how to cram themselves into their textbooks during their university days.


    An Lan thought about Xu Baohans image and actually felt that Li Shuangs words werent without reason.


    Walking to the arena outside the stadium, An Lan saw Teacher Cai, who had taught her before, standing outside and joking with another teacher.


    Teacher Cai, long time no see. An Lan quickly went up to greet her politely. How are you feeling?


    I n to retire next year. Im not as well as I used to be. Teacher Cai smiled and shook her hand, An Lan, youve been quite famous recently. Yes, my daughter even showed me your videost time. But dont be discouraged. Being awyer is always full of disputes. I believe that youll soon make aeback.


    Dont worry, Im fine. An Lan smiled and looked at the other teacher beside Teacher Cai. She felt that he looked familiar.


    You dont remember him? Hes Teacher Huang from the next ss, Teacher Cai said enviously. Teacher Huang is really good. He has been teaching for so many years. He has taught quite a few outstanding students in the past thirty years at the University of Law and Politics.


    An Lan was curious. Is that so? Which are the ones? I studied abroad early, so Im not too sure.


    You know about one. You often go to the court. You should know Xu Baohan, right? He was once his student. Teacher Cai said enviously, Why havent I met such an outstanding student like Xu Baohan? A 30-year-old presiding judge, how rare.


    An Lan was stunned, andined in her heart. She was wondering who had taught such a monster, so it was Teacher Huang.


    Teacher, dont say that, Li Shuang said with a smile, An Lan may not be as powerful as Xu Baohan, but she is a woman, she might be able to kidnap Xu Baohan. When the timees, let An Lan bring Xu Baohan to you and call you Teacher obediently. It will show how capable you are.


    Teacher Cai did not say anything, but looked behind them with a strange expression with Teacher Zhao.


    An Lan was about to roll her eyes at Li Shuang when a familiar deep male voice suddenly came from behind. Are you sure she is capable?


    This familiar voice


    An Lans body stiffened and she slowly turned around. When she saw Xu Baohans expressionless face, she suddenly had the urge to kick Li Shuang to death.


    She really regretted bringing her here.


    Li Shuang forced out a stiff smile. Chief Judge Xu

 Chapter 1780. Good Idea to Get Me by Being Single

    Chapter 1780. Good Idea to Get Me by Being Single


    I think she definitely doesnt have the ability, Li Shuang said dryly.


    Facing this cold and handsome face, Li Shuang suddenly understood why An Lan couldnt sense that he liked her.


    She was starting to doubt herself now. Perhaps she was overthinking.


    An Lan:


    Shuang, that wasnt what you said when you were eating the barbecue a few days ago.


    Xu Baohan didnt look at Li Shuang and acted as though he didnt hear what Li Shuang said. He just stared at An Lan without blinking. You were not able to be an outstanding talent in the academy, but to think you can get me by relying on your single status, you are indeed quite resourceful. You are indeed Lawyer An.


    An Lan was speechless. This was clearly not what she said, why did he have to put the me on her.., Chief Judge Xu, youve misunderstood. I didnt say what you said just now. It was my friend who said it. Shes too arrogant, she doesnt understand that a belle like Chief Judge Xu is not someone I can defile and pluck.


    Xu Baohan stared at her for a few seconds, not saying a word.


    It was Teacher Huang who cleared his throat to smooth things over. Dont mind it, the two students were just joking. Bo Han, its rare for you to have the time toe here. I heard from the principal that you rejected him, I thought you wouldnte.


    Thinking about it carefully, this is the thirtieth anniversary after all, its different from previous years. Xu Baohan turned his face away and exined calmly, Im a student here after all, thanks to the hard work of the teachers and professors, which has enabled me to get to where I am today.


    Good boy, if you think that way, I think its worth it to be a teacher for the rest of my life, Teacher Huang said with a smile. Oh yes, Bao Han, are you married? You must be in your early thirties.


    Not yet.


    Teacher Huangughed heartily. Speaking of which, there are quite a few alumni here tonight. They definitely arent married yet. Take the opportunity to understand each other, maybe it can solve the problem of girlfriend.


    Teacher Cai, who was beside her, quickly said to An Lan, You can do your best too, try to solve your problem being single.


    An Lan:


    Teacher Cai, why were you echoing Teacher Huangs words? Did you really want me to settle with Xu Baohan?


    Xu Baohan looked at An Lan calmly, his gaze was indifferent. Lawyer An, it looks like we have to work hard together.


    Who would want to work hard together with you? An Lan didnt even want to think about her male ssmates from that episode. They seemed to be a bunch of crooks.


    Just as An Lan was feeling particrly speechless, Li Shuang suddenly greeted towards downstairs with a strange expression, Jiang Ke, youre here, too.


    An Lan looked over. The man was wearing jeans and a navy corduroy jacket. He was dressed very elegantly, and his facial features were considered decent. However, there was a greasy feeling about him, especially when there was a Porsche key hanging from his waist, it was as if he was afraid that others wouldnt know that he was driving a Porsche.


    Jiang Ke spotted An Lan at a nce. He greeted Li Shuang and Teacher Cai with a smile, then looked at An Lan with a smile. Beauty An, long time no see. Youre still as beautiful as before. Oh yes, have you found a boyfriend yet?


    An Lan instantly remembered who this person was. Back when she was in university, there was always a very greasy-looking man who kept pestering her. Even when he was rejected, he would still pester her. At that time, she felt annoyed, but she didnt expect that after so many years this Shen Ke was still as oily as ever.


    Xu Baohan nced at this man without batting an eyelid, whose entire body reeked of the stench of money.

 Chapter 1781. Xu Baohan Was Really Handsome Today

    Chapter 1781. Xu Baohan Was Really Handsome Today


    No, An Lan answered politely.


    Teacher Cai smiled. Jiang Ke, are you married yet? Not bad, you seem to have progressed quite well after graduation. Are you still inw profession now?


    Jiang Ke could not hide the pride and pride on his face. No, Im not anymore. Ive started my ownpany, mainly selling imported wines from abroad. Ive also opened many branches, which are quite profitable. Teacher Cai, these are the two bottles of red wine I brought for you.


    Oh, not bad. Teacher Cai nodded and epted it politely. Thank you.


    An Lan smiled. Teacher Cai, take your time. Ill go in first.


    After saying that, she pulled Li Shuang and turned to leave. After saying goodbye to Teacher Cai, Jiang Ke was about to chase after her when he was suddenly hit on the shoulder.


    He turned around and red at the person who had hit him. It was the young man who had been standing with Teacher Cai and An Lan earlier. What are you doing? Do you know how to walk?


    Im sorry, this ce is too narrow. Xu Baohan caught a glimpse of An Lan walking away from the corner of his eyes. After he finished speaking, he calmly walked in with his long legs.


    Jiang Ke was furious when he saw how arrogant and indifferent he was. How can you apologize in this manner? You dont have any sincerity at all. Who do you think you are?


    Xu Baohan turned back and expressionlessly took out his speech script from his pocket and shook it, Im the one whos going to give a speech here, at least Im better than you. Since youre not working inw but you came here to attend the anniversary celebration, Im sure you were not invited here. Im different from you.


    After that, he left without looking back.


    Jiang Ke looked at his back and was furious. However, he recalled what he had said earlier. Since he was able to give a speech on stage, his progress must be pretty good now. He didnt have the guts to make enemies with a legal person who had quite a background in society. Wasnt that just asking for trouble?


    In the arena, there were several thousand people who came today. After An Lan and Li Shuang got rid of Jiang Ke, Li Shuang patted her chest and said, I cant stand it. This Jiang Ke is really as annoying as before. Does he really think hes great just because he has a little money? Bah, isnt it just a Porsche? Our Bro Lan is driving a BMW 7 series. Its not cheaper than his at all.


    An Lan nodded in agreement. If he had a Bugatti sports car key hanging on his waist, I might have taken a second look.


    Li Shuang patted her shoulder. Dont say that. If you work harder, you might be able to drive it yourself. We dont rely on men.


    An Lan chuckled.


    It just so happened that they ran into some familiar faces from the department in the past. Moreover, those who were invited today were basically all in the legal circle. Everyone chatted and talked about thew. In addition, they were all ssmates. Slowly, the former ss monitor of the department, Cao Meng, created a WeChat Group and pulled everyone in. Usually, everyone is from all over the world, but now that they all gathered together, someone has suggested to have dinner, sing, and hold a ss reunion tonight.


    At ten oclock, the anniversary event officially began. After the school leaders went up to give their speeches, it was time for the students from the previous years of the school to step onto the stage one after another.


    As the presiding judge of the Xia City Court, Xu Baohan currently held an important position. He was the third to go up to the stage.


    He went up to the stage in a dark blue suit, paired with a white shirt and ck leather shoes. His posture was straight.


    It was obviously the usual suit color, but when he wore it, it was especially eye-catching. Even his posture when he went up to the stage was like that of a soldier. Coupled with his dark eyes, he gave off a sense of seriousness which could not be ignored.


    An Lan had to admit that Xu Baohan was really handsome today.

 Chapter 1782. She Brought SuChapter a Figure to Her Blind Date

    Chapter 1782. She Brought SuChapter a Figure to Her Blind Date


    Of course, An Lan wasnt the only one who thought so in the auditorium.


    Xu Baohans handsome figure appeared on the screen behind him, and many people started whispering.


    Who is he? Hes so handsome.


    Xu Baohan, the youngest and most promising chief judge of the University of Legal Affairs. Im surprised that you actually didnt know him.


    I just didnt know he was so handsome. I thought he was a bald old man. If I had known earlier, I wouldnt have pursued Cai Xukun and Yi Qiangxi. I would have pursued him instead.


    I cant take it anymore. We are bothw students, but hes so much handsomer!


    An LAN heard the discussion and was a little impressed by her aunt. She could even bring such a person out to apany her on a blind date.


    On the stage, Xu Baohan shifted the microphone and his cold but maic voice started to spread to every corner,  when dealing with the words of a bad person, one should not be blinded by bias and prejudice. One should listen and analyze patiently and carefully. One should not let lose head and rationality. This is the objective duty of a judiciary


    An Lan could not help but listen attentively. It was not that she had never talked aboutw with Xu Baohan before, but this was the first time she was impressed by his research and attainments inw. Listening to his speech, she had benefited greatly.


    He was indeed a capable legal practitioner.


    She admired him.


    Li Shuang cupped her face, a look of infatuation on her face. Oh, I cant take it anymore. Judge Xu has not only a handsome face but a mesmerizing voice as well. I cant imagine how seductive he is in bed.


    An Lan:


    The girl was thinking of him in bed by just watching his speech. That was amazing.


    Youre aw student after all. Cant you focus on the content of his speech? What are you thinking about? An Lan scolded.


    Im thinking hes such an outstanding man. Dont you want to ask him out? Li Shuang whispered into her ear.


    Listen to the speech, An Lan reminded her.


    Xu Baohan spoke for more than ten minutes. In conclusion, he said, No matter how difficult the future is, I will always be proud of my profession. No matter you choose to be judges, prosecutors orwyers in the future, I hope you will remember that boundary in your hearts and respect thew.


    After he finished speaking, he bowed. The entire speech waspletely off-script.


    Thunderous apuse rang out from the audience.


    Everyone was excited, and An Lan was no exception. At that moment, he was so dazzling in her eyes and her palms hurt from pping.


    Xu Baohan took his seat, his gaze shifting to An Lan. When he saw her pping, the corners of his lips curled up.


    He loosened his tie and sat down. Beside him was Xing Yuan, a senior schoolmate who had graduated from school a long time ago. He was currently the prosecutor in City X, and he had speciallye for the schools anniversary celebration.


    Bohan, go to the KTV with us tonight, Xing Yuan said. Its a rare asion for everyone to get together. Afterwards, well have dinner together.


    Xu Baohan wasnt interested in KTV, but he asked, Who will go?


    Quite a few. Many of the old alumni today will be there.


    Xing Yuan smiled and continued, Were all in the same circle after all. Even though were from different cities, its a good opportunity to interact with each other. For dinner, itll be just us who work in the office. Ive booked a private room in the nearby Ze Yuan Restaurant. As for KTV, therell be a lot of peopleing and itll be lively. Hehe, many of the old alumni who came this year are still single.

 Chapter 1783. Xu Baohan Has Dinner in the Neighboring Private Chamber

    Chapter 1783. Xu Baohan Has Dinner in the Neighboring Private Chamber


    So this is a blind date in disguise? Xu Baohan frowned.


    I was just giving you a hint, Xing Yuanughed, Most people are already married. Some even have children in kindergarten. As for the single women of our age, they might have divorced. Really, its not easy to see each other. Who knows if well be here for the 80th anniversary?


    Xu Baohan fell silent.


    Xing Yuan thought that he had agreed and immediately sent a WeChat message to inform his old schoolmates in the group.


    After the anniversary celebration, the school leaders invited them to have a meal.


    An Lan was not invited. After all, she was a youngwyer and was not qualified.


    That guy must be the legend Song Ruixue of the University of Law and order. Hes 60 years old this year and hasnt lost a case in 20 years, the ss monitor, Cao Meng, said as she looked at the old man beside the principal, I wonder when well be able to bewyers of his level. Its said thatst year, a wealthy family offered him 300 million yuan, but he declined.


    I hope that day wille, An Lan said with a sigh. But Song Ruixue has a lecture this afternoon, we can go and listen to it.


    Lets go and grab a bite at the canteen. Its been a long time since thest time I had a meal in the school, Cao Meng said with a smile. It is on me.


    Okay, the supper is on me, Xiong Hai, another sessful alumnus of the same year, said with a smile, Is there any good and high-ss restaurants nearby?


    Li Shuang thought for a moment and said, The Ze Yuan Restaurant thats not bad. My hubby and I have gone there a few times. The private chambers are quitefortable, but we have to book it. Its business is very good.


    Xiong Hai immediately asked Li Shuang for a phone number to book a private chamber.


    In the afternoon, they ate in the canteen until 2:30 pm. Then, they attended Song Ruixues lecture. At around 5 pm, they drove to Ze Yuan Restaurant.


    Just as Li Shuang said, this restaurant was indeed not bad. The private chamber was spacious for more than ten people sitting in it.


    They chatted and drank happily.


    Li Shuang lowered her head and said to An Lan, I have to go home to take care of my baby, so I wont to to KTV with you guys.


    An Lan red at her and said in a low voice, How can you desert me at thest minute? You said youd go with us and sing the song Borrow 500 Years From the Heavens.


    I cant help it. Just now, my mother-inw called me and said that my baby has been crying and looking for me. Having a baby is such a sweet burden. Li Shuang sighed. You should work harder tonight. There are many single and handsome men tonight.


    Enough, are those men as good-looking as I?


    At this moment, Lin Hua came back from the washing room and said, F*ck, guys, Xing Yuan and Xu Baohan and some other big shots are having dinner in the private chamber next door. Should we go and have a drink with them?


    Chen Ke recalled Xu Baohans face and frowned. Why should we go? We are not doing badly. Why should we go and have a drink with them?


    But they saw me just now, Lin Hua said awkwardly. It doesnt look good if we dont go. I think theylle overter to have a drink with us. Senior Zheng said hede and see us.


    Then lets go. Cao Meng stood up with a ss of wine in her hand.


    ..


    In Hibiscus Hall, Ze Yuansrgest private chamber, Xu Baohans face was cold as he watched people at the dining table toasting and kissing up to each other.


    He was a little fed up with such asions.

 Chapter 1784. What Kind of Devil Was Xu Baohan

    Chapter 1784. What Kind of Devil Was Xu Baohan


    The woman opposite him stood up shyly. Senior Xu, Id like to have a drink with you. I heard about you long ago, but its a pity that I didnt have the chance to meet you until today.


    The woman was a rather sweet-looking type, and when she smiled, no one seemed to be able to resist her.


    Xu Baohan raised his head, his bottomless eyes causing the womans heart to skip a beat.


    A momentter, Xu Baohan raised his teacup and sipped.


    The woman was stunned, Zheng Jun smiled and said, Baohan, its fine that you drink tea while we have wine, but you cant do it with Yun Tian. She is the only single female in this room.


    The meaning of his words was obvious.


    Yun Tian blushed shyly and said with smile, Thats right, senior Xu, you should have wine with me.


    Xu Baohans cold gaze swept across her. I remember saying before that I can not drive after drinking wine. Everyone here studiesw. Do I have to remind you guys of the punishment for drunk driving?


    Yun Tians face stiffened as she replied awkwardly, Of course I remember. Cant you get a designated driver?


    I dont like to get a designated driver. I have to pay for a designated driver, Xu Baohan said expressionlessly.


    The private chamber was eerily quiet for a moment before Xing Yuanughed out loud. Bohan, dont joke around. I remember you family was well-off when we were in school. Your father owns apany, right?


    I really dont have any money, Xu Baohan said indifferently, Ive thought about it. Theres no mary gift for my future wife and she needs to have an apartment for us to live in. We wont have a wedding in a five-star hotel. A three star-hotel is good enough for us. Therell be no honeymoon, and I wont give her my paycheck every month. On the contrary, Ill be in charge of the familys ie and she has to give me her paycheck every month.


    The room fell silent again.


    Yun Tian looked at his cold and handsome face and waspletely speechless.


    She really admired his talent and liked his face. When he went on stage to give the speech today, her heart was pounding with excitement. However, no one wanted to be treated like this after after marriage. No woman would be so stupid as to ept such conditions.


    Senior Xu, youre kidding me. Yun Tian forced out a smile.


    Im not kidding you. Xu Baohan picked up a piece of cucumber and ate it.


    Seeing that everyone was silent, he put down his chopsticks. Why is everyone not talking? If youre bored, we can recite the criminalw and see how familiar everyone is with thew.


    What kind of devil was Xu Baohan?


    Everyone looked as if they had eaten shi*t.


    Lin Hua brought An Lan and the others over. Seniors, what a coincidence. I didnt expect wed have dinner in the same restaurant. Come,e,e, lets toast everyone.


    Xing Yuan and the others stood up in relief, so happy to see the young alumni as if they hade to the flowery Yunnan after a trip to the North Pole.


    Lin Hua, you little brat, why didnt you tell us that youd have dinner at the Ze Yuan tonight? If we had known, wed have invited you guys to join us. Look, there are so many beautiful women among you.


    Zheng Jun patted Lin Huas shoulder as if they were good buddies. Lin Hua was ttered. He and Zheng Jun had only sat together in the morning and chatted for a while. They were not that close.


    Yeah, I didnt expect it either. Lin Hua returned to his senses and smiled. Its fate, right? By the way, were going to the KTV after dinner. Do you guys want to go together?

 Chapter 1785. Poor Junior Sister An

    Chapter 1785. Poor Junior Sister An


    An Lan, who was standing in the back, was stunned. Xu Baohan wouldnt be going too, right? As conservative as he was, he wouldnt be going, and this bunch of seniors might not join them either.


    Lin Hua had the same thought and he had just been polite by asking.


    But to their surprise, Zheng Jun agreed. Sure, the more the better. Have you guys booked a private room?


    Not yet


    Well do it. Ill call and book a big room. Zheng Jun looked at the others. What do you guys think?


    Its good, its good. Xing Yuan nodded hurriedly. Were all alumni. Fate has brought us together tonight


    He paused, suddenly remembering that there was a difficult person sitting at the table tonight, so he looked at Xu Baohan. Bohan, you dont have any objections, right?


    No, Xu Baohan replied calmly.


    The others were shocked. They had thought that he would object, or that he wouldnt go with them, but they hadnt expected him to agree.


    If thats the case, then inform us when youre ready to go, Lin Hua said. Were going back to our room. Enjoy your meal.


    No problem. Have a good meal.


    After Lin Hua and the rest left, Xing yuan whispered into Xu Baohans ear, I remember that you didnt like to participate in recreational activities. We might even drinkter. If you dont like it, you can leave after the dinner


    Ill go with you. Its rare for everyone to get together, dont spoil the fun because of me, Xu Baohan said as he stroked his teacup.


    Xing Yuan was speechless.


    A person who had been spoiling the fun actually told him not to spoil the fun? Was there any justice in this world?


    At this moment, Xiang Chongyuan, another single guy in the room, said, Did you guys see the pretty girls in the neighboring room? Guys, please help me get a girlfriend when were in the KTV tonight.


    Zheng Jun smiled. I only saw one pretty girl. Shes a quite famouswyer.


    Youre talking about An Lan, right? Yun Tian said, She doesnt seem to have a boyfriend, maybe youll have a chance.


    Xu Baohan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, A prosecutor with awyer? Thats not very good, theyre like sworn enemies in court. Besides, you dont live in Xia City. Will it work?


    Xiang Chongyuan felt a bucket of cold water being poured over him. Xing Yuan coughed lightly, Thats hard to say. Perhaps junior An likes Chongyuans type. Nothing can stand between them if theyre fated to be together. Ah, right, they came here to propose a toast to us. As seniors, we should send a representative over to return the favor.


    Zheng Jun gave Xiang Chongyuan a signal with his eyes. Just as Xiang Chongyuan was about to get up, Xu Baohan suddenly stood up. Ill go.


    Everyone looked at him strangely.


    As a senior, I want to test the the juniors knowledge in criminalw. Xu Baohan went out of the room with his teacup.


    Zheng Jun said, I pity these juniors.


    Xing Yuan rolled his eyes at him. Are you stupid? Cant you see that hes acting strangely?


    Everyone was stunned and understood instantly. Xiang Chongyuan cried, Dont tell me Xu Baohan likes the same woman as I do?


    Everyone was silent. Poor junior sister An.


    Yun Tians face went stiff and almost couldnt maintain the smile.


    In the Peony Chamber.


    An Lan was chatting with Cao Meng when Chen Ke suddenly stood up from the opposite side and said mischievously, Miss An, since you dont have a boyfriend and I dont have a girlfriend, can you give me a chance? Dont worry, I have nothing but money.

 Chapter 1786. A Tacit Understanding?

    Chapter 1786. A Tacit Understanding?


    An Lan looked at Chen Kes oily face and lost her appetite.


    Xu Baohan, who had just walked in, heard Chen Kes voice and his face turned cold.


    Wasnt this guy the red wine seller he had met at the auditorium entrance?


    He had seen all sorts of people in court, but he had never seen a person as disgusting as Chen Ke.


    He walked toward An Lan with a cold face. She didnt stand up, just loungingzily on the chair. Her white sweater outlined her exquisite curves, and her slender white fingers turned the red wine ss in her hand.


    She curled her red lips into a smile. Im sorry, but Im good at nothing but making money. Money really cant move me.


    She said those words to Chen Ke because she didnt want to insult him in the presence of so many ssmates. Moreover, she felt that it was not wise to offend a despicable person like Chen Ke.


    Chen Ke did not understand. Heughed shamelessly and said, Isnt that just right? Were both good at making money. Were a perfect match.


    Although the people at the table were smiling, some of them thought that Chen Ke was going too far.


    An Lans eyes turned cold, but the smile on her face deepened. Unfortunately, I just want to find someone who is good-looking and at least 1.85 meters tall. When I go home, he will bring me tea and massage my shoulders. If I want him to go east, he wont dare to go west


    If I want him to go west, he wont dare to go east. After we marry, I can y outside aste as possible and he wont dare to say a word even if I have a one-night stand or something. I decide when to have a child. Even if I decide not to have a child, he cant object. Oh right, our children will take my surname. And he cant cheat on me and loves only me. Besides, he must give me all his ie


    Hearing her words, a smile appeared in everyones eyes. An Lans tongue was as sharp as ever.


    Xu Baohan stopped his steps. He looked at An Lans profile with admiration in his eyes, surprised that shed use such harsh conditions to scare her suitors away, just as he had done. Could this be a tacit understanding between them?


    However, there were always some people who didnt know what was good for them. Chen Kes expression darkened and his tone became unfriendly. An Lan, dont joke around. No man would dare to ept you with such conditions


    An Lan continued with a smile on her lips, You dont even meet the first requirement. Im talking about good looks.


    Everyoneughed. Chen Ke tightened his grip on his wine ss, his eyes burning with humiliation.


    Everyone has their own criteria for choosing a spouse. Just because youre good at selling wine, do you think youre can force others to choose you? Xu Baohans cold voice came from behind them.


    The people who had been watching the show finally noticed Xu Baohans presence.


    Senior Xu? Cao Meng immediately stood up, feeling ttered.


    They sent me over to have a drink with you guys. Xu Baohan raised his ss and said, Everyone, work hard and strive to be outstanding judges, prosecutors andwyers.


    Thank you, senior Xu, for your encouragement. Everyone stood up in pleasant surprise.


    An Lan had no choice but to stand up as well. Xu Baohan was standing right between her and Li Shuang. His body leaned slightly towards her, and she felt hot in the air-conditioned room due to the warmth from his body.


    An Lan raised her head to look at him, just in time to see him swallow the content from his cup. His Adams apple moved sexily.

 Chapter 1787. - The More She Saw Him, The Handsomer He Looks

    Chapter 1787. - The More She Saw Him, The Handsomer He Looks


    She felt inexplicably hot.


    An Lan wondered if her sweater was too thick, but Xu Baohan was really handsome. Even though she had seen many handsome men like Nian Junting and Xiao Si, she had found Xu Bohan, unlike others, was handsomer each time she saw him.


    While everyone was pleasantly surprised by Xu Baohans arrival, Chen Kes ugly face had turned red, Whats wrong with me selling wine? Dont you guys drink wine? Oh, right, is senior Xu drinking wine? Why is he holding a teacup?


    Lin Hua red at Chen Ke with a sullen face, regretting to invite him to the dinner. Judge Xu was giving them an honor by personallying over and drinking with them.


    Xu Baohan ced the teacup under his nose and took a sniff. He then curled up his lips slightly, his dark eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm. No matter Im drinking tea or wine, at least Im drinking it with decency.


    What do you mean? Chen Ke widened his eyes, his neck and face flushed red. He had been a boss for so many years and got used to people ttering him.


    So what if he was a judge? Was a judge richer than him?


    Chen Ke, youve drunk too much, Lin Hua stood up and warned him.


    If youre dunk, you can go home. Cao Meng was disgusted as well.


    Seeing the disapproval on everyones face, Chen Ke was smart enough to know that no one was gonna help him. He calmed down and smiled shamelessly. Im not drunk. I was just joking with senior Xu.


    Xu Baohan shook his head and looked down at An Lan. I feel sorry for you for being courted by such a person.


    He turned and left.


    An Lan:


    It was fine that he felt sorry for her, but why did he have to say it in front of everyone?


    However, the others didnt think so and looked at her with envy. An Lan, do you know senior Xu?


    Of course I do. An Lan sighed and said jokingly, We met a few times in court and he even warned me many times in court. So we left a deep impression on each other.


    I see. They understood.


    Li Shuang whispered into an LANs ear, Youll do well if you want to be an actress.


    Thank you for thepliment.


    After Xu Baohan returned to their room, Xing Yuan jokingly asked, Bohan, you stayed in their room for quite a while. Were you stalled by some beauty?


    I got stalled by a wine seller. Xu Baohan put down his teacup, his tone heavy.


    Everyone felt an inexplicable sense of heaviness, as though they were not in a restaurant but in a courtroom.


    Because of this atmosphere, everyone ate even faster.


    At 7:40 pm, the two groups of people paid the bills and gathered at the entrance of the restaurant.


    Since they had taken alcohol, they could not drive, so they decided to split up to take cabs.


    I didnt drink, Xu Baohan suddenly said, Theres still room for four more people in my car. Under such circumstances,dies first.


    The problem was that there were more than fourdies among them. Xu Baohan looked at Xing Yuan. Extremely agitated by his gaze, Xing Yuan quickly pointed at the juniors including An Lan and said, You girls go and sit in senior Xus car.


    An Lan was surprised. This Are you sure? There are senior sisters among us.


    Xing Yuan revealed a sincere smile. But youre our junior sisters. Your senior sisters will take cabs with us.


    Thank you, senior. An Lan nodded. She felt that Xing Yuan was very considerate. It was a pity that he was already married.


    Noticing that An Lans gaze lingered on Xing Yuan for two seconds, Xu Baohan looked at Xing Yuan as well, but his gaze was a little colder than before.

 Chapter 1788. An Lan Took the Front Seat

    Chapter 1788. An Lan Took the Front Seat


    Xing Yuan felt chilled for some reason.


    Why did it feel like winter in this crisp autumn day?


    Li Shuang had gone home, so An Lan stood with Cao Meng by the roadside and wait for Xu Baohans car.


    Three minutester, Xu Baohan drove the car over. It was a ck Audi A6, looking sparkling clean.


    The four women hesitated for a moment as to who would sit in the front passenger seat. Liu Qinmin said, ss Rep Cao, you sit in the front. Although I think senior Xu is very handsome, Im inexplicable awed by him.


    Cao Meng nodded. At that moment, the car window slid down and Xu Baohan looked at them indifferently. An Lan, sit in the front. I only knew you before today.


    Everyone was stunned. They gave An Lan a strange look and Cao Meng quickly moved to the back seat.


    An Lan had no choice and got into the car a little awkwardly. After the women got in, Cao Meng joked, An Lan, are you sure youve only met senior Xu a few times in court and been warned by him a few times?


    An Lan was embarrassed. She didnt expect Cao Meng to find loopholes in her lies so quickly.


    However, she didnt think that Xu Baohan would expose her. A person like him would want nothing to do with her.


    However, to her surprise, Xu Baohan turned his head to look at her. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a doubtful tone, Weve only met in court?


    Cao Meng and the others immediately widened their eyes in curiosity. An LAN quickly replied vaguely, Of course, we saw each other outside the court too. I met you when I went to the court to deliver documents. Another time you helped me out when someone made trouble for me.


    Yes,ter on, in order to thank me, you treated me to a meal. Xu Baohan nodded.


    Cao Meng and the others immediately drew in a breath.


    An Lan continued dryly, Yes, that meal onlysted for half an hour before we went home.


    Xu Baohan nodded again. Then we ran into each other again in the mental hospital not long after.


    An Lan :


    He really wanted to expose her, didnt he?


    Xu Baohan didnt seem to realize that the gazes of the three people behind him were getting more and more meaningful. He said, Then we saw each other again at our alma mater just after a weekend. Why didnt you tell me that you also studied at the University of Legal Affairs?


    Why should I tell you? An Lan asked, gritting her teeth.


    Xu Baohan turned the steering wheel and didnt look at her. His tone was casual, but the content was explosive. You should have told me during the blind date.


    An LAN regretted getting into his car, but what was this guy trying to do? Did he want everyone to know that they went on a blind date?


    Looks like we overheard something incredible, Liu Qinmin said suggestively, An Lan, youre bad. You actually didnt tell us your blind date with senior Xu. You even acted like you werent familiar with him just now. How can you do this to us?


    An Lan felt like crying, but now, she could only force out an exnation, Thats because I know that senior Xu is everyones unattainable idol. If I told you that I went on a blind date with him, Im afraid that everyone would think that Ive tarnished their idol, and the girls and boys who admire him would die of jealousy. Im a hard worker but I like to keep a low profile. I try not to offend people as much as I can.


    Xu Baohan:


    As expected of awyer, she was very good at sophistry. She didnt even blink when she lied.


    Its not unreasonable. Cao Meng nodded. Then do you want us to keep it a secret?


    Yes.


    Whatever.


    The two voices spoke at the same time.

 Chapter 1789. An Lan Almost Died of Laughter

    Chapter 1789. An Lan Almost Died of Laughter


    Cao Meng coughed lightly, a faint smile on her face. Its best that you twoe to an agreement first.


    An Lan stared at Xu Baohan helplessly. But Xu Baohan kept his eyes on the road and didnt look at her. He replied, I dont like lying.


    An Lan :


    What else could she say?


    Remember Chen Ke, An Lan decided to shut up.


    After arriving at the KTV, the four women got out of the car while Xu Baohan went to look for a parking spot.


    As they walked in, Cao Meng patted An Lan on the shoulder. Judge Xu is not bad. Keep it up.


    Liu Qinmin encouraged her as well. I bet on 50 cents that senior Xu likes you.


    50 cents? Are you serious?


    An Lan was at a loss and wondered if Xu Baohan really liked her.


    She had the feeling that she was being targeted by a wolf.


    When she went upstairs, Zheng Jun and the others had already arrived. They had ordered a few cases of beer and red wine.


    An Lan had a headache, wondering if they were determined to get drunk. Fortunately, after years of practicing, she could hold her liquor.


    Not long after, Xu Baohan also came in. There were already two women sitting beside An Lan, so he could only sit about four meters away from her.


    When everyone had arrived, some of them knew how to warm up atmosphere and started toasting while others began to sing songs, y games or chat.


    An Lan didnt y games since the losers must drink wine, so she picked up a microphone and began to sing.


    However, as she sang, things became a little weird.


    That was because Chen Ke, that tactless man, had taken over the other microphone. His singing was bad but he liked to roar into the microphone, thinking that was the way to sing the high notes.


    An Lans voice waspletely covered by his. She simply put down the microphone and let him sing.


    Chen Ke shamelessly walked over and said loudly, An Lan, lets sing the next song together. We Must Love Even If We Die.


    An Lans lips twitched. No, thank you. Your singing is so good. I dont feel worthy to sing with you.


    Chen Ke did not hear her sarcasm at all. Heughed and said, Its okay. I know that song is very difficult, but I will help you.


    An Lan ignored him. Just as the song was about to y, they found it had been to another song Ugly Guy.


    Those who were watching the show were stunned, especially An Lan and Chen Ke.


    Im sorry, its my song. Give me the microphone, Ugly Guy. Xu Baohans tall figure appeared in front of the two of them. He was a head taller than Chen Ke and was looking down at him, his gaze as cold as the abyss.


    An Lans lips twitched, almost bursting intoughter. How mean he was.


    Whom are you calling Ugly Guy? Chen Ke looked as if he wanted to kill Xu Bohan with his gaze.


    Xu Baohan looked at him with a are-you-crazy gaze and said, I was talking about the title of my song, not you. Arent you being too sensitive?


    You Chen Ke red at him, knowing Xu Bohan was doing it on purpose. Then why did you change my song?


    To purify the air. Xu Baohan suddenly smiled.


    Chen Ke was stunned, looking confused. Are you crazy? The air is fine and doesnt need you to purify it.


    Im talking about you singing. It was toonoisy. I wanted to change to a quiet song to let everyone have some peace. Xu Baohan looked at him calmly.


    An Lan almost died ofughter. She believed that he had wanted to say Chen Kes singing was terrible when he paused. Fortunately, he didnt say it, or theyd get into a fistfight.

    But Chen Ke was so stupid that he didnt even realize what he meant.


    Karaoke is noisy. Uncle, if you dont like it, you should go home. Chen Ke looked extremely annoyed and he yelled, This ce isnt suitable for you.


    Xu Baohan looked at An Lan coolly. He called me Uncle, what do you think?


    An Lan blinked as she looked at the two men in front of her. Chen Ke was shorter than Xu Baohan. In fact, Chen Ke could be considered okay in looks, but when he stood next to Xu Baohan who had a chiseled face, there was noparison at all. Even if Xu Baohan was a few years older, Chen Ke look like a clown standing next to him.


    She coughed lightly. She knew that Xu Baohan was helping her, so she said bluntly, Chen Ke, stop fooling around. Judge Xu is only a few years older than you, and you should take better care of yourself, really.


    Chen Kes expression changed instantly. He threw the microphone onto the sofa. The microphone creaked, causing the lively room to fall silent and everyone turned to look at them.


    An Lan handed the microphone to Xu Baohan awkwardly. She wasnt sure if it was her imagination or not, but she felt that Xu Baohans thin lips seemed to curve up in the darkness, but the smile soon disappeared.


    Im surprised that you chose Xue Zhiqians song, An Lan said jokingly. It wasnt that he wasnt too old for those songs; it was just that the songs didnt fit his personality.


    Oh, I made a mistake just now. I dont know how to sing this song. Xu Baohan suddenly leaned towards her, his scent slowly wafting into her nose along with the smell of alcohol in the private chamber.


    An Lan subconsciously moved back on the sofa.


    He lowered his head and stared at her with his calm, dark eyes. Why are you dodging? Im just changing the song.


    After that, he touched the screen on the wall behind her.


    An Lan :


    A few secondster, she sat up awkwardly with embarrassment on her beautiful face.


    Ugly Guy was suddenly switched to King of Karaoke.


    Xing Yuan walked over with a smile. Bohan, youre actually going to sing King of karaoke? This song seems quite long.


    Yes, because Im the King of karaoke, Ill teach some people what high notes are. Xu Baohan nced at Chen Ke and An Lan before walking towards the singing tform on the right with the microphone. There was a tall stool and a small screen on the tform.


    An LAN was confused. She knew why he nced at Chen Ke, but why did he nce at her? She knew what high notes were.


    On the tform, Xu Baohan sat on the tall stool. One of his long legs was bent under the chair while the other casually step on the ground. He held the microphone and started singing in Cantonese.


    Perhaps it was because she had been tortured by Chen Kes demonic voice for too long, An Lan suddenly felt that Xu Bohan voice was heavenly. Not only was his pitch urate, even his Cantonese was perfect.


    Of course, his voice was so good that it brought goosebumps all over her body. He could even sing the high notes without any difficulty.


    Under the dark blue light, his prominent eyebrows, sword-shaped eyebrows and eyes as cool as stars were too beautiful for words.


    Was he still the solemn judge in a ck robe in the courtroom?


    The people who had been ying games and drinking in the private chamber stopped what they were doing. The women were staring at him intently. Cao Meng sighed, With his looks and voice, its such a pity that he doesnt enter the entertainment industry.


    Xing Yuan rolled his eyes. No wonder people said that every man falling in love was a surprise package. Xu Baohan was no exception.

 Chapter 1791. Was Xu Baohan Really So Picky When Choosing A Girlfriend?

    Chapter 1791. Was Xu Baohan Really So Picky When Choosing A Girlfriend?


    After the song ended, Xu Baohan put down the microphone and everyone started pping.


    An Lan also pped.


    At this moment, Yun Tian walked over and said, An Lan, Cao Meng, do you want to y Who Was The Spy with us? Its just us women ying. The men are too cunning.


    Sure. Cao Meng was bored of ying dice and drinking, and she didnt want to decline the invitation from a senior sister.


    An Lan also agreed. In the past, she had yed this game with her friends, and it was all based on acting skills, so she was quite interested.


    In the end, there were seven women ying Who Was The Spy. They gathered together to introduce each other, and coincidentally, Xu Baohan had finished singing, and they wished he could go on singing. One of them said, When Xu Baohan sings, its a feast for both the eyes and the ears.


    Yun Tian smiled as she pulled everyone into a small room and gave them one word. Then she smiled and said, But ording to his requirements for his future wife, Im afraid no woman is willing to marry him.


    Cao Meng was puzzled. What requirements?


    The other senior women smiled but didnt say anything.


    Tell us! Tell us! Liu Qinmin couldnt help asking because she knew that An Lan and Xu Baohan were familiar with each other.


    Yun Tian shrugged. When we had dinner, Xu Baohan told us about his criteria for choosing a wife. Theres no mary gift for marrying him, and his wife will provide the house; besides, theyll have a wedding in a three-star hotel at the most. After they get married, his wife must give him her paychecks every month.


    An Lan was stunned. She wasnt the only one. All the other women also had strange expressions on their faces.


    The requirements are too harsh to be true. Cao Meng was the first one to voice her disbelief. Maybe he said these words on purpose?


    I dont know, but I heard that he used to have a fiance, but she suddenly decided not to marry him, Yuan Tian said hesitantly.


    Another woman said in surprised, Indeed? I dont me her. After all, few women would agree to such conditions.


    Forget it, lets not talk about him, lets y the game. Yun Tian nced at An Lan. Everyone, remember to protect the words in your hands, dont let others see them.


    An Lan nodded, still thinking about what she had heard. Was Xu Baohan really had such harsh criteria in choosing his wife?


    She knew he was renovating his apartment but nothing else.


    Was Xu Baohan a generous guy?


    She didnt think so. After all, she had to pay her own drinks during their blind date.


    But he wasnt a man who liked to take others advantage. At his request, she had paid their meals, but the food were not expensive.


    In short, she didnt know if the rumors were true or not.


    But if the rumors were true


    An Lan shivered. Now, even if he really had feelings for her, she wouldnt consider him.


    It was just a pity that such a beautiful man with a good career might not have a girlfriend.


    At around eleven oclock, after An Lan drank three bottles of beer, her phone rang again. It was Yan Wen. She wondered why Yan Wen called her sote at night.


    She walked out of the room with her phone. Lawyer an, Ive been reading the bunch of case files you gave me. Theres something I dont quite understand and wanted to ask you about it. I hope I didnt interrupt you.


    An Lan smiled. Youre still up. Youre quite hardworking. Alright, go ahead and ask.


    Yan Wen asked her about a criminal case. It took An Lan five minutes to answer her questions.


    After ending the call, she turned around and saw Chen Ke walk up to her. His face was red with alcohol, and his eyes were unfriendly.

 Chapter 1792. You like An Lan, just as I do, right?

    Chapter 1792. You like An Lan, just as I do, right?


    An Lan frowned and turned around, intending to leave in another route.


    Chen Ke blocked her way again, acting like a ruffian. His breath was filled with the smell of alcohol, and his tone was extremely unpleasant. Where are you going, An Lan? Im doing you a favor that I stayed here tonight.


    Thank you. An LAN smiled faintly. But I should go back in.


    Go in for what? Chen Ke grabbed her delicate wrist, his gaze cold, Do you think I dont know what Xu is thinking? Hehe, who does he think he is? Hes just a judge. To put it bluntly, a judge doesnt have as much money as I do. Look at that crappy car he drives. I drive a Porsche. If you marry me, Ill give you one too.


    An Lan burst outughing. I dont want a Porsche. How about a Bentley Mushan? Its only over five million.


    The corner of Chen Kes mouth twitched for a moment before he chuckled. He sized her up from head to toe. Youre worth five million?


    An Lan smiled without saying a word.


    Chen Kes expression changed, he pointed at her and yelled, I offer to buy you a Porsche because I think highly of you. To be honest, for a woman like you whos almost thirty years old, Im doing you a favor to marry you. Who do you think you are? Thats right, back then, you were the belle of our department. I chased you and you ignored me. But now, if youre really so good, you should have married long ago. I know women like you. Youre so picky because you want to marry into a rich family, but do you think a rich family would want a woman like you? If you dont marry me, you wont meet a good man like me in the future. Youll end up marrying a divorced man or a bald old man.


    An Lans expression remained calm, as if she wasnt ruffled by his words. Are you done? Can I leave now?


    She had seen men like Chen Ke before, so no matter how harsh his words were, An Lan did not feel angry. Men like him had been losers for a long time and when they got some money, they thought they were above others. In fact, she did not even care about his small amount of money. She just thought it was below her to talk to him.


    What? Youre not going to say a f*cking word at all? Not only did Chen Ke not let her leave, he even pulled her closer. What I said is on the target, right? You can leave if you want to, but humiliated me again and again today. I wont let you get away with it.


    Then what do you want? An Lan was curious how shameless he could be.


    Sleep with me, sleep with me once, Chen Ke said shamelessly.


    An Lan raised her hand and pped his face.


    Chen Ke raised his hand in anger but his arm was grabbed by someone.


    Then, he was pulled back forcefully.


    Chen Ke felt something hit him hard on his back. He raised his head and faced Xu Baohans cold and gloomy face.


    What are you doing? Chen Ke roared. The judge wants to hit me.


    Xu Baohan tilted his delicate chin slightly. The judge is indeed not good at hitting people. We are more suited to talk about thew.


    Whatw? Money is thew. Chen Ke chuckled. Like me, youre also interested in An Lan, right? How about this? Ill have her for the first half of the night and you can have her for the second half. Ill pay for the room.


    No matter how well-mannered An Lan was, her exquisite face was now filled with anger.


    Xu Baohan turned to look at her. How could you have such a ssmate?


    Im surprised, too. An Lan shrugged. His shamelessness has already surpassed the limit of my tolerance, but hes probably drunk, and we cant reason with drunkards.

 Chapter 1793. Xu Baohan Fights for Her

    Chapter 1793. Xu Baohan Fights for Her


    Youre right, so Ive decided to hit him, Xu Baohan said as he raised his fist and punched Chen Ke in the face.


    A mans fist was far stronger than a womans palm.


    Chen Ke fell to the ground, his nose bleeding.


    However, before he knew what happened, Xu Baohan grabbed him by the cor and threw him a few more punches.


    An Lan was stunned. Xu Baohan was tall, but she didnt expect him to be such a good fighter. Chen Ke just couldnt block his punches.


    However, what surprised her even more was that Xu Baohan would hit people for her. After all, they werent that close. He could just send Chen Ke away. There was no need to hit him. He was a judge and people would think that he was bullying others.


    The beating shocked the passersby. The KTV security guard and manager immediately rushed over to stop him. The manager tried to smooth things over, but Chen Ke was angry and insisted that he was not in the wrong and wanted to call the police. He even said that Xu Baohan was bullying others because he was a judge.


    The onlookers pointed at Xu Baohan and started talking among themselves.


    I heard hes a judge. No wonder hes so arrogant.


    The judge has power, right? So he thinks he can get away with it no matter what he does.


    Judges are powerful. Theres no justice in this world.


    Xu Baohan was unruffled when he heard thements and said to Chen Ke, I did hit you, but if you say that Im using my power to bully you, then thats a nder against a public official. You used to studyw, so you dont need me to tell you the consequences.


    Chen Ke sobered up and chuckled. Youre saying that Im ndering you. What evidence do you have?


    Xu Baohan turned to look at An Lan. Lawyer An, someone as cautious as you should have a recording of the incident, right?


    An Lan looked at him in surprise, then smiled. Indeed.


    Then she turned on the speaker so everyone could hear Chen Kes words from beginning to end. The onlookers immediately red at Chen Ke, especially the women. How shameless he is. How can a man be so low?


    Oh my God, this has really refreshed my understanding of scumbags.


    Does he think that having a Porsche is that impressive?


    The table was suddenly turned. Chen Ke wished he could crawl into a hole in the ground and shouted, I was drunk just now.


    Xu Baohan clenched his fists. He had only heard the second half of the harassment. It turned out Chen Ke had said so many harsh words before he came. He had really gone too easy on this guy.


    He picked Chen Ke up and said coldly, One speaks the truth when he gets drunk. Besides, I dont think youre drunk at all. You only drank to embolden yourself to speak your mind, but these words of yourspletely constitute an insult and sexual harassment. Not only were you verbally attacking her, you also physically harassed her. Its enough to have you detained.


    Ignoring the pain in his face, Chen Ke hurriedly said, When did I physically harass her?


    He knew that as long as there was no physical harassment, his punishment wouldnt be too severe.


    My hand. An Lan raised her left hand. Its red from being grabbed by you. This is physical contact. The police will take it as evidence when we get to the police stationter.


    Youre simply lying, Chen Ke roared.


    Youre wrong. Lawyers will never make a statement without evidence. An Lan smiled lightly, You were aw student and you forgot never to mess with awyer. Maybe youve made some money and get forgetful. Its okay, Ill refresh your memory.


    She dialed 110. When she waited for the line to get through, she said to Chen Ke, By the way, do you think driving a Porsche is awesome? I have a Ferrari at home, but I thinkwyers should keep a low profile asionally, so I basically dont drive it.

 Chapter 1794. If They Join Hands, We Can Not Mess With Them

    Chapter 1794. If They Join Hands, We Can Not Mess With Them


    The onlookers gasped.


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.


    Chen Ke gritted his teeth. Youre bragging. How could you possibly drive a Ferrari?


    Poverty really limits your imagination. An Lan shook her head sympathetically.


    Some cops happened to be patrolling nearby, so they arrived not long after.


    The alumni in the KTV room also knew about this matter. Cao Meng, Lin Hua, and the others knew that Chen Ke had always had improper thoughts towards An Lan, but they did not expect that he would do such a thing. However, some of them were Chen Kes friends, so they tried to smooth things over. An Lan, why dont you guys settle this privately? After all, we are all alumni, and today is the schools 70th anniversary and a rare asion for everyone to gather together. Theres no need to go to the police station.


    Cao Meng said bluntly, Forgive my bluntness, but when he did this, did he ever consider that we are alumni? When we were eating, he was looking for trouble. An Lan was nice so she didnt say anything nasty, but he went too far this time.


    Xiao Dong, who had been reprimanded by her, said embarrassedly, But no matter what, senior Xu hit him and it wouldnt be good for senior Xus reputation if he really went to the police station.


    Xu Baohan nced at him. Dont worry. I was very careful when I hit him. The doctors would decide that he has only a light injury. He will recover on his own in no time. I will only need to pay for his medical fees and meals.


    Everyone was stunned and they turned to look at Chen Ke.


    Chen Ke, whose face, nose, mouth, and chest were burning from the pain, was also stunned. Only then did he remember which parts Xu Baohan had hit. A chill ran down his spine as he understood the situation. Xu Baohan, you are so despicable.


    No, this is called obeying thew, Xu Baohan corrected him calmly, I attacked because I was angry at the moment, but my rationality kept me in check. I just taught you a lesson. Thew will decide the rest of the punishment for you.


    He was so calm and frank that even An Lan couldnt help but admire him.


    If this guy was also awyer, he would be a fierce rival for her.


    Luckily, he was a judge.


    The others looked at each other and decided they would not mess with Xu Baohan in the future.


    Xing Yuan and Cao Meng who had guessed Xu Baohans thoughts were screaming in their hearts. If Xu Baohan and An Lan were together, the two of them would be unrivalled. They decided not to mess with these two in the future.


    After the cops arrived, they inquired about the incident and brought An Lan, Xu Baohan, and Chen Ke to the police station.


    In the main hall of the police station, after the police understood what had happened, they also disliked people like Chen Ke. However, since the case was not big, they would usually advise the people involved settle it privately.


    How about this? The cop advised, You guys have hit him and vented your anger. He has also learned his lesson, so lets just take a step back.


    Xu Baohan looked at An Lan silently, indicating that it was up to her.


    No, An Lan shook her head decisively, He has learned his lesson here today, but what happens when he is with another woman? What if he uses his drunkenness to sexually harass another woman? I was lucky today since someone was there to help me, but what about other women? Will they be that lucky? He should be punished by thew.


    Chen Ke said fiercely, An Lan, you think youre great because you know thew, right? Do you think I dont know thew? If worstes to worst, Ill see you in court.


    Sure, Ill drive a Ferrari to see you in court. An Lans gaze was as fierce as a torch.


    Chen Ke:


    Xu Baohan coughed lightly. I can testify in court.

 Chapter 1795. An Lan Was Like a Book

    Chapter 1795. An Lan Was Like a Book


    Looking at the two of them, Chen Ke lost his confidence.


    He really didnt want to have awsuit. No matter how shameless he was, he knew that he was in the wrong and hed be convicted of sexual harassment. He was just trying to see if he could be convicted only of verbal sexual harassment.


    After deliberating for a moment, Chen Ke calmed down. If you guys dont agree to settle this privately, then forget it. Let the police file a case. In any case, I will only be detained for a maximum of five days or so.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows. This case was a little troublesome because Chen Ke also knew thew.


    Sure, I happen to know a friend from a television station, An Lan said with a smile. She has been seeking news recently. A case like this will act as a good alert for women if it is broadcast.


    Chen Ke could no longer remain calm. With the development of the Inte, if he were to appear in the news, his reputation would be ruined. After all, he was a businessman and he didnt have a wife.


    An Lan, you Dont go too far. He red at her with red eyes.


    We have settled it. An Lan looked at the police officer.


    The corners of the police officers mouth twitched. Chen Ke clenched his fists and struggled for a moment. Finally, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, An Lan, Im sorry. Tonight it was my fault. I wont dare to mess with you again. Please forgive me.


    Forgive you? An Lan took a step towards him and took out her phone. She found a charity event for needy children and said, Sure, dont you have money? If you donate 100,000 yuan, Ill forgive you.


    Xu Baohan was surprised. He had thought that she was going to take money with Alipay, but to his surprise, she wanted to collect money for needy children. It seemed he knew little about her.


    Chen Ke red at her. 100,000? It wont cost me 100,000 yuan to spend a night with a woman. Youre robbing me!


    Im not taking your 100,000 yuan for myself. Im just asking you to help those orphans who dont have the money to go to school. You can consider it as doing charity for yourself. A person like you must have done a lot of bad things, An Lan sneered, You keep saying that you have money, but you dont have any kindness at all. If youre not willing to settle it privately, then forget it. Im fine with it.


    The policeman at the side cleared his throat and pretended that he didnt hear the conversation.


    Fine, Ill donate. Ill treat it as giving money away to beggars, Chen Ke said resignation.


    The policemans face darkened and warned him, Watch your words. How can you call these children beggars? If it thisdy didnt agree to settle, I would have locked you up for a few days.


    Being reprimanded by the police officer, Chen Ke did not dare to say another word and donated 100,000 yuan under An Lans supervision. The three of them signed the papers and left the police station.


    Although Chen Ke was not happy with the result, he got a huge setback this time. He did not dare to stay with them any longer and left in a taxi dejectedly.


    At the entrance of the police station, Xu Baohan stared at the slim woman standing under the streetlights. She hade out in a hurry and was only wearing a white sweater. Her cheeks were slightly red from drinking, looking as if she had applied a thinyer of rouge. She exuded an alluring aura.


    He was lost in his thoughts for a moment, feeling that An Lan was like a book. At first nce, she was only a pretty woman. However, after getting to know her better, he was more and more interested in her.


    He had never liked people who loved money and did not like the way people talked about money. However, the more he saw her, the more he liked her.


    He liked the way she looked when she got aggressive.

 Chapter 1796. I Am Quite Satisfied with the Blind Date

    Chapter 1796. I Am Quite Satisfied with the Blind Date


    An LAN nced at the road, wondering if she should take a taxi back.


    She turned and met Xu Baohans bottomless eyes, which reminded her of a ckhole that could suck people in.


    Sheposed herself and quickly said, Chief Judge Xu, thank you so much for helping me today.


    Xu Baohans lips moved slightly. An Lan thought he was going to ask her to treat him to a meal again, so she quickly interrupted him, You dont have to say it. I will definitely treat you to a meal.


    Xu Baohans eyes shed with a hint of a smile. Actually, he hadnt wanted to ask her to treat him to a meal, but since she had said it, he definitely wouldnt refuse.


    Its cold. He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.


    Standing before her, his tall figure blocked the wind for her.


    An Lan was considered tall, but when she stood next to him, she looked very petite.


    At that moment, she felt the surrounding air seemed be thinner because of his presence.


    An Lan was dazed for a while before she turned back to look at the suit jacket, recalling what Li Shuang and Cao Meng had said to her.


    Xu Baohan was interested in her.


    This realization made her heart tremble.


    Em Chief Judge Xu, do youlike me? An Lan raised her head. She didnt like to beat around the bush.


    HMM? Xu Baohan was stunned.


    Like her?


    He hadnt really thought about it.


    He just felt that if they were to get married in the future, An Lan would be a good wife, and she was also very different. It would be nice to be with her.


    Youre not even sure that you like me or not? An Lan saw the hesitation in his eyes and suddenly smiled.


    Didnt we have a blind date? Xu Baohan suddenly said, Im quite satisfied with the result of that blind date.


    An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry. So you just think that Im a suitable partner for marriage, right?


    Do you think I am a suitable partner for marriage? Xu Baohan asked back.


    No, youre not, An Lan answered honestly.


    Xu Baohan said,  I am.


    An Lan rolled her eyes.


    Xu Baohan said seriously, I think Im pretty good-looking, and Im 1.85 meters tall. When youre tired, Ill get you water and massage your shoulders. If you want me to go east, as long as its not a matter of principle, I will listen to you. Marrying into your family means that the children will have your surname, and it doesnt matter to me since I dont care about carrying on the family line. Its your decision when well have children. I will definitely not cheat on you, and I will also give you my paychecks each month.


    An Lan looked at him nkly as he spoke, finding that what he said was very familiar. She suddenly remembered these were the requirements she had said to trick Chen Ke during the dinner. He had memorized them.


    As for you staying outte, I think you should go home early if its not necessary for work or social events. Its not safe outside, but I will apany you. As to one-night stand, I think we should be faithful to each other as husband and wife. Xu Baohan said as he looked at her quietly, What do you think?


    An Lan:


    What the heck?


    That Didnt you say youd give no mary gift for your future wife, and she needs to have an apartment; your wedding can only be held in a three-star hotel, and therell be no honeymoon, and your wife must give you her paychecks every month? An Lan suddenly remembered it.


    Xu Baohans expression darkened when he heard that. Who told you that?


    An Lan coughed lightly. Chief Judge Xu, we are honest citizens, so we must not trick people into marrying us, right? Do you n to conceal your true colors until you get married? Thats immoral.

 Chapter 1797. Ill Never Trick Anyone To Marry Me

    Chapter 1797. I''ll Never Trick Anyone To Marry Me


    Xu Baohan took a step forward, his tall body moving closer to her, his unfathomable eyes revealing a faint smile. I never trick people into marrying me.


    His voice was like a subwoofer.


    An Lans heart skipped a beat. She took a few steps back and warned him in a fluster, If you want to talk, then talk. Dont move so close to me.


    Xu Baohan acted as though he didnt hear what she said. He bent down and continued, Im guessing you heard these words from someone from my dinner party tonight.


    It doesnt matter who said it. An Lan never expose her source of information. What matters is your view of marriage.


    Xu Baohan shook his head, his gaze on her getting deeper. I said those words to those women so they wouldnt have ns for me. My view of marriage is what I said to you just now.


    An Lan was stunned, but then she realized what he had said was probably true. After all, no man would have such weird thoughts about marriage.


    I think you did the same. Xu Baohan suddenly raised his eyebrows. You said those words in order to frighten away Chen Ke. An Lan, actually, our ways of doing things are quite simr. I think were suitable for each other.


    An Lan was quite surprised that they had used the same method to scare off their suitors. But hisst sentence drew her attention. How are we suitable?


    Were suitable in every way, Xu Baohan said.


    But she felt they were unsuitable in every way.


    As she remained silent, he said in a low voice, So weve agreed upon the view on marriage, right? I think we can get married this year.


    An Lan was stunned. Were we talking about our views on marriage? When did we agree upon it?


    We talked about a lot about it just now. Xu Baohan frowned and reminded her, And dont you think Fate brought us together?


    An Lan took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. She had indeed met Xu Baohan quite a number of times. But what you said made me think that you are just looking for a suitable wife. I happen to be the one who has met your requirements in the past few years, but you are not suitable for me.


    Xu Baohan stared at her, his eyes filled with a trace of displeasure. Exin yourself.


    An Lan continued, What I mean is that even though you have good looks and a good job, and we both studiedws, Ive met handsome men like you before and I didnt go out with any of them. Its not because they werent good, but because Idont want to find a suitable man to marry. I want a man who loves me and I love him, and we were willing to sacrifice ourselves for each other, and he is someone I can rely on. We didnt reach a consensus on this, so how could I marry you?


    After a few seconds of silence, Xu Baohan said unhappily, So There were a lot of men like me in your life, right?


    An Lan was speechless. So this was he cared about?


    Im very grateful for your help tonight, An Lan continued. Actually, she had begun to like him for what he had done for her tonight. But when he couldnt say whether he liked her or not, An Lan was disappointed.


    Chief Judge Xu, to be honest, Ive seen many men and women who have chosen a suitable marriage partner because they want to get married. Actually, this is quite good, but I always wonder if they love each other and if they are passionate for each other. Do they want to spend every minute and every second of their life to be with each other? Perhaps you would think its ridiculous for me to talk about love at the age of almost 30, but I dont think so. I have money, abilities, a house, a car, and apany. Why should I make do? Why cant I wait for love?

 Chapter 1798. An Lan, I Think... I’m Falling For You

    Chapter 1798. An Lan, I Think... I��m Falling For You


    Love


    Xu Baohans gaze deepened, his brows furrowing imperceptibly.


    It wasnt that he hadnt thought about this question before, butter he realized that love wasnt reliable.


    He didnt know why, but when he saw the woman in front of him say those words, he felt that if she was a book, then unknowingly, he seemed to have turned to a new and exciting chapter; this chapter stirred his heart, which had been still as stagnant water.


    He had really never met a woman like her. She loved money and loved to earn money. When someone scratched her car, she would demand a huge amount of money forpensation. She loved money, but she knew how to help needy people. She loved money, and because she had money, she had the confidence to wait for love.


    An Lan, I think I kind of like you, he pursed his dry lips and suddenly said in a low voice.


    An Lans heart skipped a beat, mainly because his voice was so pleasant and his looks were so attractive. It was impossible for her to remain calm when he said that he liked her.


    However, she wasnt a little girl after all, and had experienced many things. She calmed down after half a minute and smiled. Chief Judge Xu, you really spare no effort to convince me to be with you. You even resort to deception.


    Xu Baohan was surprised. How could she say he was deceiving her? He hadnt thought about it at first, but just now, his mind was in a mess.


    Just a few minutes ago, I asked you if you liked me, but you were silent. In a few minutes, you say you like me? An Lan asked with a bitter smile.


    Xu Baohans emotions wereplicated. She had the ability to change his mind. What could he do?


    An Lan, your thoughts are good, but what about your parents? He reminded her. Even though he had only met them once in the mental hospital, he knew that her parents would not tolerate An Lans thoughts.


    They dont agree with me, of course.


    An Lans eyes shed with hurt at the mention of her parents, But so what? Im the one whos getting married, and Im the one whos going to live with the man for the rest of my life, so its up to me to decide. When I was studying abroad, I admired the local peoples views on marriage. They dont make do and wouldnt force themselves to be together when they no longer love each other. A few days ago, when I went to Paris alone and saw couples on the streets, I felt very lonely and envious. Thats why I agreed to my aunt to have the blind date.


    But then I came to a realization. Can I be sure that I wont feel lonely after being married? Then why do so many female clientse to me with expressions of sadness, loneliness and resentment? If Im married, can I tour the world with my husband with great pleasure if we have different views on the world?


    Xu Baohan fell into a long silence. He had never thought about these questions. He only knew that he would get married, have a child and live a simple life.


    In his office, many senior colleagues always told him that he should find a passable marriage partner who was not too pretty, had a stable job and a well-matched family.


    He had thought that he would live such a routine life as the others.


    But An Lans appearance was like a bolt of lightning that split his world apart and brought a dazzling light into his world.


    An Lan, perhaps you are an ident in my quiet life. After a very, very long time, when An Lan mentioned that she wanted to leave by car, he spoke in a husky voice. His gaze was as deep as the sea in the dark night.

 Chapter 1799. Because Im Jealous

    Chapter 1799. Because I''m Jealous


    An Lans heart skipped a beat and she thought she saw a hint of resentment in his eyes.


    Xu Baohans emotions wereplicated, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he was a judge and he knew what he had to do. An Lan, you have sessfully convinced me.


    Huh? An Lan was even more confused.


    Xu Baohans dark eyes were deep, and his cold face had a hint of a smile under the streetlights, I did want to find a suitable woman to get married at the right time, but you sessfully made me give up on that idea. Youre right, if I get married just for the sake of getting married, Ill only have a sense of responsibility after marriage. Without the foundation of love, it would indeed be very boring for two people who have never interacted before to live together. If the two of them have shared values and do things with simr methods, then they are verypatible with each other and their life together would definitely be very interesting.


    Oh An Lan took a long time to react. Just like that, she had changed the mind of an older man who had wanted to find a suitable woman to marry.


    She wondered if his parents would kill her for that.


    An Lan, since we have simr views, can we give it a try? Xu Baohan suddenly turned his face away and looked at the road beside him, his ears turning slightly red.


    An Lan looked at his ears in surprise. Why was his skin so delicate? It turned out his ears could also turn red.


    What do you think?


    After waiting for a while, Xu Baohan frowned and looked at her in annoyance.


    He had his self-respect. He had asked her to go out with him three times but was rejected.


    I think I think you dont understand what I meant, An Lan snapped back to reality and said dryly, It seems like youve never asked me if I like you. Dont you know how important this question is?


    Xu Baohan froze, realizing he had indeed not asked this question.


    However, he had the feeling that he was being yed. An Lan, did I do anything to offend you?


    Thats a good question. An LAN nodded and started to count, You walked into thedies room at the court and I wonder what was wrong with you. Then when I bumped into you on the blind date, you made me pay for your juice. It wasnt romantic at all. When you asked me to treat you to a meal, you always picked a small restaurant that didnt look romantic at all. Also, every time we met, you always asked me to treat you to a meal. Dont you know that when a man and a woman are together, the man usually pays the bill


    Then Ill treat you to a meal tomorrow, Xu Baohan suddenly interrupted her.


    An Lans face turned red. Can you let finish?


    Alright, continue. Xu Baohan nodded.


    An Lan continued, I asked you to apany me for a drink and you kept nagging me and sent me those cases in which women got into trouble when they got drunk. It totally ruined my mood


    I was worried for your safety, and I wanted you to be careful, Xu Baohan interrupted her again.


    An Lan red at him.


    Xu Baohan coughed lightly and said, Continue.


    An LAN said, Also, I once liked Nian Junting and you used me of having bad taste in men


    Because I was jealous, Xu Baohan interrupted her again.


    An Lans face turned even redder. Even the dim streetlights could not hide her blush.


    Xu Baohan stared at her, a fire burning in his heart. When he saw her biting her lower lip, he suddenly wanted to kiss her.


    Can I kiss you? He blurted out.

 Chapter 1800. Was This... Love Talk?

    Chapter 1800. Was This... Love Talk?


    An Lan was embarrassed, her face flushed red.


    She had just met a lecher, but she had never met a lecher like him.


    She raised her eyes and red at him. What do you think?


    I think the answer is no, Xu Baohan realized his rudeness and answered honestly.


    Since you knew the answer is no, why did you ask? An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry. She had never met such a person before, but she wasnt angry. She was just embarrassed and a little flustered.


    Xu Baohan looked at her silently, his deep eyes seemed to speak louder than words.


    An Lan truly felt that she shouldnt continue the conversation. The more they talked, the more ambiguous it became.


    Just then, her phone rang. Cao Meng called her, saying that her bag and coat were still at the KTV. She asked An Lan if shed go back to pick them up or had them delivered to her.


    Ill pick them up. An Lan didnt want to trouble her.


    After hanging up, she looked up to bid Xu Baohan farewell, but he said, Lets go. Ill apany you to the KTV to pick up your things.


    An Lan declined, Theres no need. Its almost 1 am and youd better go home. You still have work tomorrow. I can go by myself. Ill go home after I get my things.


    Xu Baohans expression was solemn. I dont want to see any news about a famouswyer being attacked or dragged into the bushes tomorrow morning.


    An Lan was speechless. She couldnt take it anymore. As a judicial officer, you keep saying these things. It shows that you subconsciously think that this society is not safe at all.


    No. Xu Baohan shook his head decisively. Its not safe for a beautiful woman like you to be out during the night.


    An Lan was a little happy but also a little angry, What do you mean? Are you trying to say that its my fault because Im beautiful? If it wasnt for the evil thoughts in your mens hearts, women would be safe to go out in the middle of the night wearing a short skirt.


    Im not those men. Xu Baohan frowned. But I cant deny that many men nowadays have unhealthy thoughts. Didnt you just meet one tonight?


    Cant you say something nice? An Lan ced one hand on her hip.


    Xu Baohan thought for a moment and said, I also left something at the KTV.


    What is it?


    You Xu Baohan stared at her silently.


    An Lan,  Im right here.


    Youll be there in a while.


    What does it have to do with you? An Lan tried her best to refute.


    Im just worried, Xu Baohan had to admit in the end.


    Was thislove talk?


    An Lan was a little ufortable, and so was Xu Baohan.


    It was eerily quiet.


    In the end, the awkward silence was broken by a taxi that stopped in front of them. The driver shouted, Where are you going? Do you want to take a taxi?


    Get in. Xu Baohan immediately opened the back seat door, and An Lan pulled open the front passenger door.


    He paused and asked, Arent you going to sit in the back?


    Its not very safe out in the night. If something happens to me in the front, you can break the window and escape from the back. An LAN smiled as she got into the car.


    Xu Baohan was stunned for a few seconds and then smiled. He got into the car and replied, Im here and he wouldnt dare to do anything to you.


    The innocent driver waspletely baffled and couldnt take it anymore. Beauty, handsome, do I look like a bad guy? Its not very nice of you to say that about me. Im a good taxi driver.


    I was just kidding, An Lan said with a smile. You make me feel safer than the person behind us.

 Chapter 1801. I Want to Ask You Out

    Chapter 1801. I Want to Ask You Out


    The driver understood. I see. It turns out you guys are lovers. The young people nowadays are really different. A forty-year-old like me cant keep up with you at all.


    An Lan was embarrassed. No, we are not the kind of rtionship that you think


    I understand. The driver nodded and said, What kind of rtionship can a man and a woman have when they stay out sote in the night? And you guys were standing at the police stations entrance, and it says alot. I guess one of you got into trouble and the other came to help. What you guys have is true love.


    An Lan rubbed her forehead helplessly, amazed by the taxi drivers wild imagination.


    Xu Baohan, however, was very satisfied.


    After arriving at the KTV, many people had already left. Only Cao Meng and a few others were waiting. An Lan took her things and waved goodbye to them.


    Cao Meng smiled and reminded Xu Baohan, Senior Xu, you must escort our great beauty home.


    Xu Baohan nodded and said to An Lan, Wait here. Ill go get the car.


    An Lan then remembered that he had driven to the KTV. It turned out he didnte back to the KTV for her at all. Can you drive? Did you drink alcohol tonight?


    I didnt. Xu Baohan shook his head.


    An Lan clicked her tongue. How did you manage that with so many old school mates meeting together? Those guys at your table love drinking alcohol, right?


    Xu Baohan smiled faintly. Under the neon lights of the KTV, he exuded a mesmerizing charm, Whenever they tried to make me drink, Id talk to them about the criminalw about drunk driving. Also, I told them if something happened to me while driving after drinking alcohol, the guys who persuaded me to drink would be held responsible, too, no matter they are my alumni or colleagues.


    This guy must be a devil.


    An Lan muttered silently. She remembered that she had once asked him to drink with her. She must have lost her mind.


    Um Chief Judge Xu, do you have any friends? An Lan asked curiously.


    I think so.


    What does he mean by I think so?


    An Lan was speechless. Isnt Nian Junting your friend?


    I dont know.


    At the mention of this name, Xu Baohan frowned and said, I didnt know if hes my friend or not, but Im sure he wont be my friend in the future.


    Why? She wondered if there was grudge between the two of them.


    Xu Baohan stopped walking and looked at her with resignation, Because you liked him.


    After that, he strode off to get the car.


    An Lan looked at his departing tall figure, her heart thumping wildly.


    So he was jealous, right? So he was serious when he said he was jealous?


    However, she didnt want their friendship to end just because she had once liked Nian Junting, even though they were just casual friends.


    After getting into the car, An Lan gave him her address.


    Xu Baohan found that the area she lived in was far from here and where he lived. He frowned. It wouldnt be convenient for him to drive her home in the future.


    I can take a taxi, An Lan said when she saw his frown.


    Its alright, Ill get used to it anyway. Xu Baohan started the car, thinking that they wouldnt have this inconvenience after they lived together in the future.


    An Lan stared at him in exasperation. I didnt say Id go out with you, did I?


    You didnt say it, Xu Baohan drove with his eyes on the road. But you made me give up the n of finding a suitable woman to marry and made me realize the importance of finding a woman I like to marry, so you have to take the responsibility.


    An Lan blinked in confusion.

 Chapter 1802. It is Better for You to Continue to Stay Single

    Chapter 1802. It is Better for You to Continue to Stay Single


    Do you know how difficult it is to find a suitable partner that you like? Xu Baohan nced back at her, I know how difficult it is when you havent found one. You might not be able to find it in your entire life. However, you have brainwashed me and therefore you have to be responsible to me.


    He repeated himself.


    An Lan was dumbfounded. She had met shameless people, but she had met such a shameless person.


    Where the moral integrity was.


    This isnt a question about responsibility, its about


    I like you. Xu Baohan smiled. His hand was on the steering wheel as he looked straight ahead.


    An Lan was stunned and couldnt utter a single word.


    Why didnt she believe him? He didnt seem to be genuinely sincere.


    Can I take back my words? This conversation had given An Lan a headache, Actually, its quite good to find a suitable person to be a lifepanion. True love isnt reliable. If two persons had been together for many years, the love between them would eventually be family affection. As a matter of fact, Its meaningless


    If thats the case, both of us should have more reasons to be together.


    Xu Baohan nodded, Therefore, it is actually not that important whether you like me or not, as long as we are suitable for each other. Although I dont have a Ferrari, I can refuel your Ferrari every day. Even though I cant earn as much as you who is awyer, I have a secure job after all. I will not starve myself and my wife to death. I can ensure that you will want for nothing. I have a strong heart, and it is definitely not an issue for me that my wife earns more than me. My biggest strength is I have a healthy body. I never had any major illness, and only had minor illness once a year. I can fight, but I dont like to use force. I prefer to resolve issues ording tow. Only if it couldnt be settled byw, then Ill consider to use force. Im notzy, and my house is kept in good order. My cooking skills are pretty good. I dont have any bad hobbies. I dont smoke, drink, or gamble.


    An Lan:


    Oh, by the way, you definitely will not face any issues on the rtionship between mother-inw and daughter-inw. Since my parents and I dont get along well and we seldom take to each other, you absolutely are not required to please them. However, you dont have to worry that there is no one to take care of our children. I have an aunt who is my distant rtive. She is honest and reliable. She had taken care of four children and is very experienced. When the timees, I can request her to take care of our children.


    An Lan waspletely dumbfounded. Was this a blind date in the car at 1 am?


    Nevertheless, he was reasonably good at presenting his points. He could turn his disadvantages into his favor with sound justification to the point that she couldnt refute it. She even felt that there was a certain logic to it.


    The most important thing is a judge and awyer. Xu Baohan smiled confidently. From now on, who would dare to offend us?


    An Lan couldnt help nodding. Thats true, both of them had performed reasonably in theirst two cooperation. She sensed that her ssmates were a little worried seeing them at court now.


    Xiao Si had described them as the Mr and Mrs Smith of the legal profession.


    You also have the same opinion as me? Although he was concentrated in driving, Xu Baohan still noticed that she nodded slightly.


    An Lan woke up at once and red at him. I dont have the same opinion as you, but Chief Judge Xu, dont tell me that youre having this thought and thats why you think Im suitable for you?


    Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips in silence.


    An Lan smiled gently. It is better for you to continue to stay single.


    Xu Baohan:


    Stop. I have heard enough. Drive carefully. I need to take a rest. I drank too much and I feel dizzy. An Lan leaned towards the window.


    Initially, she intended to evade him continuously encouraging her to ept him by pretending to sleep. However, she didnt expect that she would fall asleep.

 Chapter 1803. Chief Judge Xu, Its Not Your Business

    Chapter 1803. Chief Judge Xu, It''s Not Your Business


    Xu Baohan drove to themunity where she lived. He wasnt familiar with the neighborhood and he didnt want to bother her with questions, so he used the GPS.


    Ten minutester, the car stopped at a high-endmunity. There were quite a number of vis in thismunity.


    He killed the engine and nced at her. The woman beside him had her neck turned sideways, a strand of slightly curly long hair hanging by her ear. Beneath the strands of hair, he could see the diamond earring. Her slim neck made her look like an elegant white swan.


    He stared at her for a while and rolled up the window. He turned on the AC in the car, took his coat from the backseat, and gently draped it over her. Then, he closed his eyes.


    Although he usually had to work overtime, he rarely stayed up at two in the morning. After he closed his eyes, he felt tired.


    When An Lan woke up, she was confused.


    Looking around, she realized that she was still in the car. The AC was on, so it wasnt cold. A mans suit jacket draped over her and the faint scent of a man mixed with the perfume in the car wafted into her nose. She was disorientated for a moment.


    It was no wonder that she had been warm andfortable in her sleep even though she was in the car.


    She turned to Xu Baohan in the drivers seat. He was lounging in the leather seat and his head was still upright even though he was asleep, as self-disciplined as he was awake.


    The lights were off in the car, but she could see the handsome outline of his nose.


    This was a face that would cause jealousy in everyones heart.


    An Lan touched the suit in her hands, wondering if she should drape it over him. But it was already four a.m., and the dawn woulde soon.


    After some thought, she coughed loudly.


    Xu Baohan was immediately jolted awake and opened his eyes. His eyes was dazed for a second before he realized where he was. When did you wake up? Why didnt you wake me up?


    An Lan was roaring in her heart, I coughed loudly just to wake you up! But she was amazed by this guys willpower since it took her longer time to clear her head. No wonder he was a judge while she could only be awyer.


    I should be the one to say that, An Lan said awkwardly. You should have woken me up when we reached the destination. Its already 4 oclock in the morning.


    Xu Baohan looked at the time and was surprised. I thought you would wake up soon. I didnt expect you to sleep for so long.


    An Lan was embarrassed and said unhappily, I was tired yesterday and its so early in the morning. I couldnt control myself.


    She added silently in her heart, And you drove so steadily and never stepped hard on the brake.


    Fortunately, you fell asleep in my car, but next time, you definitely cant sleep so soundly in another mans car, Xu Baohan warned as he gazed at her deeply.


    An Lan said bluntly, Chief Judge Xu, this is not your business, okay?


    Not all men are as gentlemanly as I am. Xu Baohan nced at her stockinged legs.


    What are you looking at? An Lan quickly covered her thighs with her hands.


    Is it toote to do it, right? If I wanted to see it, I would have seen it when you were sleeping. Xu Baohan thought for a moment before adding, I will wait until the day you agree to let me see them.


    What did he mean?


    An Lans mind was filled with unspeakable thoughts, and her face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, That day will nevere.

 Chapter 1804. Scheming Man

    Chapter 1804. Scheming Man


    It wille, Xu Baohan replied confidently, the determination in his eyes unshakable.


    An Lan wasnt sure anymore under his gaze.


    But it was toote, she really didnt want to argue with him over such a boring topic. Ive got to go. No matter what, thank you for today


    Youre wee. The next meal is on me or on you. Its up to you, Xu Baohan said calmly.


    An Lan looked at him nkly.


    Xu Baohan wondered what kind of makeup this woman used. Her eyes were so bright and seductive even in the middle of the night. Didnt they say that womens eyeliners would fall out if they stayed up all night?


    I did help you today, but Im now your suitor, and you said I should treat you to meals since Im a man, so Ive decided to treat you, but if you refuse my invitation, then I have to ask you to treat me to a meal to thank me for the favor I did you.


    An Lan opened her mouth. After a long while, she spat out two words, Scheming man.


    Ill take that as apliment. Xu Baohan smiled. He rarely smiled, and it was stunning.


    An Lan blinked and grabbed her bag. Whatever, drive safe on your way back.


    After walking for a while, she looked back and saw that the car was still there. She felt warmed inside at the sight.


    After returning home, An Lan took a quick shower and threw herself into the soft bed.


    She thought she would fall asleep immediately, but in the end, she couldnt. When she closed her eyes, all she could think about was Xu Baohans words.


    She got up and drank a small ss of red wine. Fianally, she fell asleep.


    However, her sleep was really not that good. She dreamt that she was driving and then crashed into Xu Baohans car, and he kept nagging her about the criminalw.


    An Lans head hurt from his nagging, and then she was woken up by the ringing of her phone.


    She grabbed the speaker as if she had been saved. Hello


    Hello your head, Li Yuchens furious voice came from the phone. Its already 10:30 am, alright? My client, Wan Qi, has already been here for a long time. Why arent you here as my assistant? Do you not want your share?


    An Lan sat up immediately. Its sote?


    Of course. Youre not verypetent as an assistant. This share


    In your dreams. Ill be there right away. An Lan threw her phone down.


    In less than 10 minutes, she set out looking sharp.


    Fortunately, it was not the rush hour and it only took her half an hour to arrive at thew firm.


    However, by then, only Li Yuchen was sitting in the conference room. There was an empty teacup on the table opposite to him.


    He left? An Lan threw her bag onto the sofa.


    Of course, its already past 11. We were supposed to meet at 9, but youpletely forgot about it. Li Yuchen crossed his arms and snorted. Looks like we have to split it 60-40. After all, youre not working hard.


    An Lan calmly rubbed the spot between her brows. I drank too muchst night. By the way, do you know who I bumped intost night?


    Who? Li Yuchens interest was piqued. It cant be Xu Baohan, can it?


    Youre right. An Lan snapped her fingers beautifully. Hes a senior alumna of mine. Last night, we went out for dinner and sang in KTV, and he even drove me home. We stayed in the car together until four in the morning before returning home.


    F*ck, Li Yuchen stood up from the sofa excitedly. The two of you are so fast Hehe, why didnt you guys go to the hotel, or you could have brought him home.

 Chapter 1805. Ex-boyfriend

    Chapter 1805. Ex-boyfriend


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him. Youre overthinking it. I was too sleepy and dozed for two hours in the car, but we are one step closer. The share you mentioned


    Li Yuchens lips twitched. Forget it. Well still split it 60-40. Get to know Chief Judge Xu at your own pace. Its best if we dont see him in court for the rest of our lives.


    An LAN recalled Xu Baohan mentioning that he liked herst night. She was in a trance for a moment. If she was really caught by him identally, then she wouldnt be able to bump into him in court for the rest of her life.


    Sigh, what kind of person do you think Xu Baohan is? An LAN asked wonderingly.


    How would I know? Im not close to him. Li Yuchen sighed faintly, I used to lose cases whenever I had him as the judge and I had thought of a roundabout way to soften him. I ran into him once at the supermarket outside the courthouse, and he was buying chewing gum. I wanted to befriend him, so I offered to pay it for him. In the end, he said that I was trying to bribe him, and then asked me if I knew about the crime of bribing a judicial officer. I was so scared that I ran away. Other judges arent as difficult to approach as him.


    An Lanughed out loud, but she knew it was what Xu Baohan would do.


    Okay, lets not talk about Xu Baohan, Li Yuchen suddenly said, Do you know who Wan Qiswyer is this time?


    Isnt it Zhang Shangyang?


    No. Li Yuchen looked at her with aplicated expression. Its changed to He Mingqian.


    An Lan rubbed the spot between her brows. This b*tch. Did you tell Wan Qi about He Mingqians past rtionship with me?


    I told her. Shed find out in court anyway. Theres no need to hide it, Li Yuchen said. I guess thats why she used He Mingqian. He went out with you and knows us very well. But I told Wan Qi that we also know He Mingqian very well.


    Indeed, no one knows this hypocrite better than we do, An Lan said indifferently. He has his ways of doing evil things. Its indeed a little tricky and we must be careful. Call a meeting in a while.


    Okay.


    Court.


    In therge conference room, a study meeting was going on.


    Xu Baohans assistant Su Run noticed that his boss yawned a few times, and there were even tears on his pretty eyshes.


    Su Run was a little excited. When he saw his boss this morning, he had noticed that his boss hadnt slept wellst night. Could it be that he had made some great progressst night?


    After the meeting ended, Xu Baohan walked out and bumped into Secretary Liu.


    Secretary Liu was a warm-hearted woman. When she saw him, she smiled and said, Baohan, I heard that you went out a few times with Lawyer An Lan. Are you two dating now?


    Not yet.


    Secretary Lius eyes lit up. Since you are not dating her, do you want to go on a blind date? The daughter of my husbands colleague works in the municipal government. Shes 25 years old and single


    Theres no need, Xu Baohan rejected tly.


    Whats wrong? You promised Old Wu to go on a blind date a while ago. Why cant you go and see this girl? Secretary Liu asked, Shes really a good girl and her work suits yours. Im not saying that Lawyer An is not good, but shes too beautiful and too good at earning money for someone like you. Youre quiet and reserved and I think the two of you


    Xu Baohan stopped in his tracks and said calmly, The most important thing for two people to be together is to like each other. I dont think equal status is an important factor.


    Ha, Secretary Liu looked at him as if he was a weirdo, Bohan, this is unlike you. Didnt you say that you dont believe in love? You even told everyone not to force you to go to a blind date. You said when the time is right, youll find a suitable woman to marry.

 Chapter 1806. He Was Lawyer An’s... Ex-boyfriend

    Chapter 1806. He Was Lawyer An��s... Ex-boyfriend


    I said those things because I didnt meet the right woman. Xu Baohans lips curled into a meaningful smile.


    Secretary Liu was stunned. After a long while, she came back to her senses and smiled. Then I wont say anything else. Work hard and let us have a wedding feast this year.


    Su Run, who had been listening quietly from behind, was also stunned.


    It had only been one night, yet the had changed his life n.


    Thiswyer an was incredible. It seemed that in order to make his boss happy, he had to learn more about Lawyer An.


    At three in the afternoon, Su Run knocked on Xu Baohans office door with a solemn expression.


    Whats the matter? Xu Baohan was reading the papers. There was a court hearing at three-thirty.


    Chief Judge, the first mediation for Wan Qi and Wu Hefeis case has been set at the end of this month. Wan Qiswyer is Li Yuchen, one of Zhenyuans shareholders. Lawyer An is Li Yuchens assistant for this case.


    Xu Baohans expression darkened as his sharp eyes swept over him. The hearing is about to begin and instead of helping me prepare the documents, youre still talking about this gossip!


    Su Runs face was flushed red from the scolding.


    Xu Baohan rubbed the spot between his brows and put down the papers. He spoke coldly, Who is Li Yuchen? How old is he? Is he married?


    Boss, are you going to gossip before the hearing too? Su Run mustered his courage and asked cautiously.


    Xu Baohan red at him. Ive read all my papers but you havent. Now answer my questions.


    Su run pursed his lips. The main point of his gossip wasnt Li Yuchen, but his boss got jealous for no reason. Um Im not sure, but since the two of them are partners, there should be nothing between them. Ill ask around for youter. What I was trying to say is that Wan Qis husbandswyer is He Mingqian. Its said that hes Lawyer Ans ex-boyfriend.


    There was a strange silence for a few seconds. Su Run felt that he had gone to the North Pole. Xu Baohan suddenly stood up and mmed the papers on the table. His face was dark, but he seemed to be restraining himself. After a long while, he asked, How did you know it?


    Ms. Zhang working downstairs told me, Su Run said. She often deals with thosewyers, so she knows many of them and hears all kinds of gossip about them. I came to you as soon as I heard it


    Speaking of this, Su Run felt a little sullen that he had been reprimanded for it.


    Tell me, Xu Baohan turned around, looking as if he was in court. When did they start dating? How long had they been dating? Why did they break up? How long has it been since they broke up?


    Su Run was a little embarrassed because these were the things that only the people involved knew. It seems like they have separated for a year. I dont know how long theyd been together, but I think they broke up because of the guys character. I heard from Ms. Zhang that He Mingqian did despicable things to win in court. Hes always hiding behind the scenes, and he especially likes to use public opinion to pressure his opponents.


    Xu Baohan frowned. He knew An Lan loved money, but she was a decent person. He didnt understand why she had dated such a man.


    The more he thought about it, the more displeased he felt.


    She had dated such a despicable person, but she wasnt willing to go out with him. Did it mean that he wasnt even as good as that despicable guy?


    I heard He Mingqian is quite handsome, Su Run added softly.


    Shallow, Xu Baohan said as if his words were gold. You can go now. I need to change into my robe and prepare for court.

 Chapter 1807. I’ll Buy One Hour of Your Time

    Chapter 1807. I��ll Buy One Hour of Your Time


    After changing into his robe, Xu Baohan looked at himself in the mirror. He had never paid much attention to his looks before, but he knew that he wasnt bad.


    Was he not as good looking as He Mingqian?


    He took two deep breaths and calmed down.


    He had once had a fiance, so it was normal for An Lan to have a boyfriend. After all, they werent university students.


    Xu Baohan turned around, took out his cell phone and dialed An Lans number. The womans cool voice came through the receiver.


    Hello, this is Zhenyuan Law Firm, Im Lawyer An Lan. My consultation fee is 1,800 an hour, so if you have any questions, youll be charged by the minute.


    Xu Baohan:


    So she didnt save his phone number.


    He was silent for a few seconds and hung up.


    He opened WeChat and transferred 1,800 to her.


    At thew firm, An Lan had just put down her phone and was about to get a cup of coffee when her phone beeped with a notification from her WeChat.


    She opened it and saw that White Horse Is Not Horse had sent her 1,800 yuan.


    She was stunned and quickly sent him a message. What are you doing?


    White Hose Is Not Horse: Didnt you say 1800 yuan per hour? Ill buy one hour of your time.


    An Lan remembered the call she had just received. F*ck, it was Xu Baohans call?


    White Horse Is Not Horse sent another message: You didnt save my phone number?


    Embarrassed, An Lan pulled out the iing call a minute ago and called back. Xu Baohans deep voice immediately came through, Why didnt you save my phone number?


    I did save it before the blind date, but when I found out it was you, I felt that it was impossible between us, so I deleted it, An Lan answered truthfully with a helpless smile, Chief Judge, stop it. Youre the Chief Judge, theres nothing you need to consult me with. I didnt ept the 1,800 and it will return to your ount tomorrow.


    I have something to ask, Xu Baohan said after a moment of silence, his voice suddenly bing gentle and mesmerizing, I want to consult Lawyer An on how to make her fall in love with me.


    An Lans heart pounded violently.


    It was just a simple question, but her face felt inexplicably hot.


    Was he the mean and sharp-tongued Xu Baohan? Was he possessed by some spirit or something? His voice was so seductive that it turned her knees weak.


    Im sorry, but Im only here to answer legal questions. An Lans mind was in a mess but she forced herself to answer this question calmly.


    Alright, Ill ask you a question about a legal matter, Xu Baohan said. I want to marry Lawyer An and draw up a prenuptial agreement. Oh right, in the prenuptial agreement, Ill require that if we get divorced in the future, she can take all the money I have.


    An Lans heart skipped a beat. Chief Judge Xu, stop joking please.


    Lawyer An, you must answer your customers question in earnest , Xu Baohan said with a smile.


    An Lan was resigned. Alright, I can answer your question right now


    But I dont have time to listen to it now. I have to go to court at 3:30. How about having dinner with me tonight? Xu Baohan interrupted her. Ill drive to yourw firm to pick you up.


    No, I didnt sleep wellst night. Im very tired, I just want to go home and have some food before going to bed. Arent you tired? An Lan smiled in resignation. We can have dinner another day, okay?


    Xu Baohan was actually very tired. Fortunately, he had taken a short nap in the afternoon and drank a cup of coffee. Youre right, then Ill go to your ce and make a light meal for you. After that, Ill leave.

 Chapter 1808. Only Silly Women Would Not Like It

    Chapter 1808. Only Silly Women Would Not Like It


    An Lan was shocked.


    After a while, she calmed down and said, What? Were not dating yet, and youre already thinking ofing to my ce? Dont get your hopes up. No anyone cane to my home.


    You misunderstood me. I didnt mean anything by it. Xu Baohan really didnt have any other thoughts, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew it was not a good idea to go to her ce at this stage. He had to take things step by step. Alright, How About tomorrow?


    Tomorrow then. An Lan knew he wouldnt give up, so she agreed. I dont need you to pick me up. Ill drive to the ce you choose to eat. I need to drive to work the next day anyway.


    You choose the ce. I rarely eat in ces other than small diners, Xu Baohan added.


    After the matter was settled, Xu Baohan put down his phone and walked out of the office.


    Su Run noticed that his boss face had turned from gloomy to sunny. It was obvious he was happy about something.


    He roared silently in his heart that men in love were as unpredictable as his girlfriend. He had to please his girlfriend at home and his boss at work. Life was so hard.


    The hearing ended and it was almost time to get off work.


    Xu Baohan went straight to his office and turned on hisputer. You can go home. Ill finish the verdict before going home.


    Su Run sighed. Did he have to work so hard? You can write it tomorrow. I can see that youre very tired today.


    Theres a trial tomorrow and I still have a new case to look at, Xu Baohan said calmly. The most important thing is that I have an appointment with Lawyer An for dinner tomorrow night.


    Su Run understood. Chief Judge, do you need to order some flowers? I have a business card for that.


    Xu Baohan looked at him in bafflement and nodded. Maybe shell like it. Id better bring some flowers with me.


    Su Run thought to himself that all women liked flowers; only silly women didnt like flowers.


    Oh right, I took a look of the case allocation form in the afternoon. Why do I have more cases than other judges? Xu Baohan tapped on the table with his knuckles.


    He studied his schedule and had difficulty in finding a time slot for dating.


    Its because youre the only judge in the entire court who isnt married, Su Run said sadly. During meetings, everyone would ask if you could take more cases. Since no one waits for you at home after work, you said yes.


    Howe I dont remember it? Xu Baohans face was gloomy.


    It was three years ago Su Run stammered. Poor him. As Xu Baohans assistant, he had the heaviest work load among all the assistants. Could it be that his boss had finally understood the situation? Then his bad days wereing to an end.


    Xu Baohan understood. Tomorrow, you tell them that I have taken on too much for them in the past three years. Now, its time for them to repay me.


    I will. Su run nodded. He could imagine the sad mood of the judges.


    The next afternoon, Judge Zhao bumped into Xu Baohan in the corridor. He had a bitter expression on his face, Baohan, look at us. Were over 50 years old. Were not as energetic as before, and we have old parents to take care of. You young people should be at the forefront of the nations construction. The cases


    Thats right, Im really envious of you. Youre over 50 years old, and youre about to retire. When that timees, youll definitely feel depressed with no case to work on, so you must take on a few more big cases before your retire. Xu Baohan patted him on the shoulder. Oh by the way, didnt you say that you wanted me to work hard so that you can attend my my wedding? Im working hard, but I need you guys to share my burden.

 Chapter 1809. Chief Judge Xu Visits Our Law Firm

    Chapter 1809. Chief Judge Xu Visits Our Law Firm


    After he finished speaking, he ignored Judge Zhaos pained expression and walked away.


    At Zhenyuan Law Firm, An Lan was discussing a case with a client in the reception room.


    Li Yuchen was lighting incense and offering fruits to the God of Wealth.


    Yan Wen and the other new interns were chatting with another femalewyer of thew firm, Ma Shuanghua, about the trendiest entertainment gossips.


    While everyone was tirelessly sharing the gossip, Yang Yuandong, an internwyer, suddenly gasped. Oh my God, are my eyes ying tricks on me? Who did I see


    Yang Yundong patted his colleagues around him on the shoulders.


    Who did you see? Is Ji Nuanyi in ourw firm? Yan Wen turned her head and saw a tall and lean figure walking in. His eyes were sharp, his expression was stern, and he was wearing a ck jacket over a white shirt and a pair of dark brown casual pants. He walked in with an imposing aura.


    Everyones minds went nk in horror.


    Yan Wen stuttered, I seem to see Chief Judge Xu in ourw firm?


    You are right. Ma Shuanghuas forehead was drenched in cold sweat. In the first half of the year, she had bumped into Xu Baohan a few times in court and she was still afraid to see him.


    What was this big shot doing here?


    Oh right, the rumors said that he was having an affair with An Lan.


    Ma Shuanghua, as the most seniorwyer in this group, had no choice but to buck up and force out a smile. Chief Judge Xu, what brings you here?


    Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips as he looked around thew firm. The office was quite big, clean and tidy, and neatly divided into sections. There was also a faint fragrance in the air, which smelled a little like the scent from An Lans body.


    He nced at the sandalwood incense at the door and instantly understood.


    Thew firm seemed to have ten plus employees. The oldest one was a woman her forties. The rest were even younger. The women wore exquisite makeup, the men wore suits. Looking at them, he wondered these people werewyers or models.


    He frowned.


    No wonder thisw firm lost cases. To be awyer, one must have some abilities.


    And the man wearing a sweater was even holding incense and worshipping God in the furthest corner of the office.


    Could God help him win cases in court?


    The people in the office felt that his gaze was like a radar, scanning their insides.


    Ma Shuanghua, who was standing in front of him, was trembling in fear. She was screaming silently, Lawyer Li, why are you still worshipping God? Come and meet the big shot.


    Im here to see An Lan, Xu Baohan finally spoke, his voice calm. Ive asked her out for dinner.


    I see.


    Everyones eyes lit up, admiring their their big sister Lawyer An for daring to have dinner with such a devil.


    Lawyer An is discussing a case with a client, Yan Wen said hurriedly. Do you want me to show you to her office? You can wait in there.


    Theres no need. Ive nevere here before. Id like to look around, Xu Baohan said calmly.


    Alright. Ma Shuanghua braced herself and shouted at Li Yuchen, Lawyer Li, Chief Judge Xu is here. Stop praying.


    Li Yuchens hand that was holding the incense trembled and he turned to look at Xu Baohan who was standing behind him. He froze.


    A few secondster, he strode forward with a smile on his face, Chief Judge Xu, its such an honor to have youe to ourw firm. I am Li Yuchen, one of thew partners here.

 Chapter 1810. Pray for Marriage and Accompany You

    Chapter 1810. Pray for Marriage and Apany You


    Xu Baohan looked him up and down.


    This was the Li Yuchen that Su Run had mentioned. He was wearing sses and looked refined, but his looks were very ordinary.


    Ive seen you before, in court. Oh right, you even tried to bribe me at the entrance of the court, right? Xu Baohan suddenly smiled.


    Li Yuchen felt like crying. This persons memory was too good. Chief Judge Xu, I didnt try to bribe you. Even if I wanted to, I wouldnt have bribed you with three dors, right? I just saw your and tried to show my respect for you. Really, I didnt mean anything by it.


    You must focus your mind on thewsuits, Xu Baohan suddenly said, You think that by giving me a piece of gum, your opponent will think that Im on good terms with you and will panic in court, right? Ive seen this method many times.


    Yes, you are right. Li Yuchens face turned red in mortification. He roared silently to An Lan toe out as soon as possible.


    They just couldnt handle this devil.


    Oh by the way, you and An Lan were ssmates? Xu Baohan asked calmly.


    We went to the same university when we studied abroad, but I was a few years senior than her. Since we are both from Xia City, we opened thew firm together after we returned, Li Yuchen quickly replied.


    Thats impressive. Youre around my age, right? Xu Baohan said.


    Im older than you by a few years, Li Yuchen said embarrassedly.


    Then you must be married.


    Thats right, Ive been married for almost four years and my kid is in kindergarten. Li Yuchen rxed.


    He wasnt sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since he said that he was married, Xu Baohan seemed to have softened his attitude towards him.


    They had walked to the door of the reception room. An Lan happened to be walking out with her client. When she saw Xu Baohan, she was surprised. Why are you


    I happened to be in the neighborhood doing some business this afternoon, so I had the courts driver drop me off here. It saved me the trouble of having to drive over again, Xu Baohan exined calmly.


    An Lan felt weird, but she had a client with her, so she didnt ask more questions. She turned to the client and said, Dont worry. If you want awsuit, just go back and prepare the relevant documents ording to my instructions.


    Thank you, Lawyer An. See youter.


    She shook hands with the client.


    After the client left, An Lan looked at the time. It was already 5:30 pm.


    Li Yuchen hurriedly said, Go and have dinner with Chief Judge Xu. You wont find a spot in a good restaurant if yourete.


    An Lan nced at him in exasperation. He looked like ackey now.


    Which restaurant shall we go? Xu Baohan asked.


    Hearing the question, many colleagues looked over in curiosity. An Lan coughed lightly. Lets talk about it in the car.


    She put some documents in her bag and walked out of the office with him. When they passed by the spiritual stage, Xu Baohan couldnt take it anymore and said, Youwyers actually believe in such things.


    God of Wealth? Of course, I believe in it. All business people believe in it. An Lan pouted in her heart. Moreover, she had lost more than 10 million yuan this year just because of him. How could she not worship the God of Wealth.


    Yes. Li Yuchen nodded embarrassedly. Ourw firm is nning to pay a visit to Shifeng Mountain on Sunday to worship the gods.


    Xu Baohan had heard of Shifeng Mountain. It was a tourist attraction in the neighboring city. There was arge temple on the mountain, and it was said that many people went there to worship gods.


    If thats the case, then Ill go with you guys, Xu Baohan suddenly said.


    I thought you didnt believe in these things, An Lan could not help but say.


    I want to pray to the gods for marriage. The other reason is to apany you, Xu Baohan looked at her and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

 Chapter 1811. She Might See His Blush

    Chapter 1811. She Might See His Blush


    She heard the gasps from her colleagues.


    An Lan felt heat rise in her cheeks under his dark gaze. It will be tiring to hike in the mountain.


    Thats why you need mypany. Xu Baohan nodded.


    Li Yuchen looked at him with envy. Chief Judge Xu, youre really considerate. Since thats the case, lets go together. The bus we hired is pretty big anyway.


    Thank you. Xu Baohan looked at him gratefully.


    Li Yuchen was very excited. He was even more excited than when he won the 10,000-yuan lottery. He had been given many colder shoulders by Xu Baohan, so he felt ttered at the slightestpliment.


    An Lans lips twitched, feeling her colleagues had all betrayed her.


    When they reached the parking lot, An Lan unlocked her BMW.


    Xu Baohan got into the passenger seat. An Lan asked, How are you going to go home after dinner? You wont let me drive you home, will you?


    Ill take a taxi, Xu Baohan tilted his head and asked, I wonder what Lawyer An would take me to eat.


    An Lan was exasperated. Youre the one whos asking me out now. Do you think its right for me to arrange the ce of the dinner?


    Because I dont know much about romance, Xu Baohan replied matter-of-factly. You know about it more than I do.


    An Lan sighed. At least, he knew his weaknesses, but why did it feel like she was chasing after him instead of he chasing her? Lets go and eat in a western restaurant.


    Xu Baohan nodded.


    It was a twenty-minute drive to the restaurant.


    Xu Baohan was stunned as soon as he stepped in. This western restaurant was veryrge and had a retro decoration. The warm color of the interior was dim and made the ce look like an art gallery. Every goblet and te on the tables glittered under the lights. There were dozens of tables neatly arranged in the hall. The eaters included foreigners and Chinese. Everyone looked quiet and cultured.


    Could this be one of those ces that Shu Ran mentioned where couples kissed and held hands under the dim lights?


    Why did you stop? Lets go, An Lan turned her head and said.


    Xu Baohans face turned hot. He was secretly d that the lights were dim and she couldnt see his flushed face.


    The two of them sat at a table for two, which was covered with blue brocade.


    The waiter handed over the menu.


    Xu Baohan took a look and had a rough idea of the prices. The average price for each person was four to five hundred yuan, but he knew that a casual meal of two usually cost three to four hundred yuan.


    An Lan observed his expression and asked, What do you want to eat?


    Xu Baohan ordered an Australian beef ribs, ck fish roe with pancakes, while An Lan ordered a fillet with red wine and foie gras, salmon with cream and mushroom sauce, and a three-ball ice cream.


    After the waiter left, An Lan quickly tied her hair up with a hairband and asked with a smile, Chief Judge Xu, dont you think that this restaurant doesnt fit in with you?


    I never went to such restaurants, Xu Baohan said honestly. Are you trying to use this restaurant to tell me that the two of us arent suitable? We have different ideas about consumption and we like different things.


    An Lan sighed softly. It was easy to talk to smart people. It wasnt that she felt nothing with Xu Baohan, but she had known that the two of them werent suitable from the first time they met. You like to go to a home-style restaurant, and I want to go to a ce where I can enjoy the nice decoration and atmosphere. Our ideas on consumption are different


    An Lan, Xu Baohan interrupted her. Have you ever wondered why Nian Junting, as rich as he is, never eats out?

 Chapter 1812. I Want to Protect You

    Chapter 1812. I Want to Protect You


    An Lan was stunned. After a while, under his dark gaze, she said, Because he thinks that the food outside isnt clean, but Im different from him.


    Then ask the married people around you. Do they still eat out after they get married? Xu Baohan looked as if he was in a business negotiation, saying each word with confidence.


    First of all, you dont know much about my financial ability. You think that the meal is too expensive for me. Xu Baohan leaned back into his chair and smiled calmly. An Lan, I can tell you clearly that before we get married, if you want to eat at a ce like this, I can afford it. After we get married, we can eat out asionally. We are not young anymore, arent you tired of eating out?


    An Lan was speechless. When she was in her early twenties, she loved to drink with her friends and enjoy things that money could buy. But gradually she started to get tired of this lifestyle. Sometimes, she preferred to go home and watch TV, read a book. As too meals, in the past she had been so busy with work that she ate out every day. In the end, she got gastroenteritis and was in so much pain


    Later on, she found that cooking at home was actually healthier.


    An Lan, if you were 25 or younger, I definitely wouldnt have asked you out, Xu Baohan said sincerely, If you were, you and I wouldnt match. Even if I liked you, I wouldnt have pursued you because I couldnt give you the life you wanted.


    An Lan smiled. I have a feeling that you like me for my age?


    No Xu Baohan paused and twirled the white ss in his hand. When we were on our blind date, I liked your shameless way.


    He raised his head, a hint of a smile appearing in his dark eyes. You knew that we were on a blind date, yet you pretended to have a meal with a friend and mocked me. Your poor acting skills and shamelessness left me in awe.


    An Lans lips twitched, her face turning red in embarrassment. Chief Judge Xu, are you going to finish this meal or not? Im surprised that you dared to mention the blind date. You even made me pay for a ss of 35-year-old fruit juice. I will remember it forever.


    If I didnt make you pay, how would I have gotten your WeChat contact? After Xu Baohan said that, he cleared his throat and took a sip from his ss, blocking half of his firm face with the ss.


    An Lan was stunned, but when she came back to her senses, she suddenly understood. For some reason, a warm feeling rose in her chest. So that was what he had been up to.


    The music of violin rose in the dining room.


    An Lan said cheekily, So you took a liking to me at the blind date.


    I didnt, Xu Baohan denied immediately. I just had never met a woman like you before. After that, your disy of strength in the parking lot made me think that no one could bully you. Im usually very busy at work, so I cant spend a lot of time with my wife, so I hope that my future wife can protect herself well.


    Im sorry, although Im very strong, I have my moments of weakness. I also want a man who can protect me. An Lan rolled her eyes. Youre looking for a female vajra. But Im not.


    Thats what I want for a suitable partner that I dont truly like. Xu Baohan looked at her calmly. After I got to know you better, I realized that I want to protect you.


    An Lans heart missed a beat when she saw his burning gaze.


    He was flirting with her again.

 Chapter 1813. At that time, you must have cherished your girlfriend

    Chapter 1813. At that time, you must have cherished your girlfriend


    Fortunately, at that moment, the thick soup was served.


    Looking at the steaming hot chicken and mushroom soup, Xu Baohan suddenly said, Actually, for a western restaurant in Xia City, this should be considered a rtively cheap ce. An Lan, its not easy for you to find a western restaurant with a decent environment and affordable prices. You are amazing.


    The more he interacted with her, the more he realized how valuable she was.


    On the surface, she seemed to love money, but she had a way with it and never took advantage of others.


    There are some women who take advantage of the fact that the men were treating, and would bring them to expensive restaurants. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, but An Lans choice of restaurant was a very considerate one.


    An Lan was a little embarrassed when he exposed her.


    Xu Baohan was really too observant.


    Under his sharp gaze, he seemed to be able to pick out all the little details.


    Looks like I dont know Chief Judge Xu well enough. An Lan is also very smart, and she quickly realized something. Chief Judge Xu must have been to many western restaurants with your ex-girlfriend in the past.


    After asking that question, she felt a little ufortable.


    But she also understands that everyone has a past.


    Neither of them were an innocent young man or woman.


    Xu Baohan frowned when he heard that, as though he remembered an unpleasant past.


    It is ok if you dont want to talk about it, An Lan said calmly. she had heard about him being abandoned by his fiance. For a man, that must have been a very embarrassing past, and he must have loved that woman very much.


    Western food was served one after another. It was Xu Baohans steak and An Lans foie gras.


    An Lan cut open the foie gras skillfully. She had studied abroad for many years, so she was familiar with western dining. She noticed that Xu Baohan, who likes to eat in Chinese restaurants, was a little unfamiliar with fork and knives at first, but he quickly familiarised himself. However, An Lan felt that it was more suitable for him to retrieve his memories.


    After swallowing the steak, Xu Baohan suddenly looked up with a straight and deep look in his eyes. I used to patronize western restaurants when I was dating.


    I can see that. An Lan nodded, the foie gras in her mouth tasted strange. Im sure Chief Judge Xu really cherished your girlfriend back then.


    Ex-girlfriend, Xu Baohan corrected her calmly, but with a hint of sadness in his eyes. You must have heard that I was the one who was abandoned.


    An Lans lips curled up in embarrassment. That should have been a sad past.


    Since Ive decided to chase you, its only right that I am honest about my past. Xu Baohan put down his fork and knife, and wore a helpless smile on his face, Sometimes, being a judge has its own helplessness. Others may feel that the judge is in control of everything in court, including the oue of a case. My ex-girlfriends fatherspany was once involved in a financial dispute and needed my help, but I refused.


    An Lan was stunned, and at that moment, she suddenly felt a little sympathetic. So your girlfriend must have had a grudge against you


    Not really, but there must have been some estrangement.


    Xu Baohan frowned. Subsequently, I dont know how their family settled the case. Even though my ex-girlfriend and I didnt break up, and her fatherspany wasnt affected, but because of that incident, she did not feel veryfortable,


    She always thought that I did not cherish her family and her. She thought that I was too heartless, and her parents went from liking me to opposing me. They even stopped mentioning the wedding date that was originally set. They also tried to sow discord between my ex-girlfriend and me behind my backs. Furthermore, something happened to my family after that. They felt that I was heartless and unreliable, so I was dumped just like that.

 Chapter 1814. How Do You Know I Only Had One Ex-Boyfriend?

    Chapter 1814. How Do You Know I Only Had One Ex-Boyfriend?


    After he finished speaking, he quickly took a sip of warm water from his teacup.


    His short hair was shrouded in the light from the retromp above his head, resulting in his eyes revealing a sense of subtle loneliness umon to him.


    An Lans heart skipped a bit inexplicably. All of a sudden, she felt that she understood him very well.


    It was probably because she had also been berated by her loved ones for being a heartless person who only cared about money and not family affection.


    At this moment, she felt that she was very simr to Xu Baohan.


    I dont understand why, An Lan, I thought you would understand me. Suddenly, Xu Baohan smiled at her. His eyebrows seemed to be able to glow under the light.


    An Lans face was burning hot and her lips was curling. What do I understand about you? I dont understand anything.


    Xu Baohan did not say a word. He just stared at her quietly.  I had this feeling when I saw you arguing with your parents at the mental hospital the other day.


    An Lan red at him in annoyance. You think I will sympathize with you since we share the same predicament. Am I right? Thats the reason why you pursued me. In fact, you still havent got over your ex-girlfriend.


    No, it was already over. If I hadnt got over it, I wouldnt have married. This would be extremely disrespectful to the other half. Xu Baohan shook his head without hesitation. That was because she didnt understand me. If two persons were to apany each other throughout their life, they would have to understand each other.


    An Lan was speechless. That was literally true. In this regard, he seemed to be able to move on quite well. Do you hate her?


    No, why would you hate a person who didnt understand you? She didnt do it intentionally. She just didnt understand you, Xu Baohan continued to talk as he cut a piece of steak simultaneously and put it onto her te. Besides, putting yourself into her shoes, it wasnt anyones fault.


    An Lan didnt notice that a piece of steak had been put onto her te. She waspletely immersed in what he had said.


    She fell into a trance for a moment and then she casually forked a piece of food into her mouth. As she ate, she realized that something was not right. She looked across and saw Xu Baohan smiling at her.


    You put your meat on my te? An Lans eyes widened in shock.


    Its my beef, but it is clean without my saliva on it, With a brooding gaze, Xu Baohan exined it word by word. Was it delicious?


    An Lan swallowed it quickly and replied  It tasted terrible.


    It tasted good, Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows. Since I had confessed to you about my ex-girlfriend, in return, shouldnt you confess to me about your ex-boyfriend?


    An Lan wiped her lips with a piece of tissue and purposely responded sinisterly, How do you know I only had one ex-boyfriend? I had many. Which one of them do you want to hear?


    Xu Baohan tightened his grip on his knife and fork and smiled, Since you had so many, lets talk about your unrequited love for Nian Junting.


    An Lan lowered her head dejectedly.


    Tell me about He Mingqian. Xu Baohan put down his knife and fork and leaned back slowly on his chair.


    How do you know about him? An Lan gritted her teeth, You asked about me.


    I dont know during that time how unforgettable your romantic rtionship with him was, but a lot of them in the academy were aware of it. Therefore, it was not a big surprise that I heard about it. Xu Baohan smiled cynically, I heard that his conduct as awyer left much to be desired. Ms An, your taste was certainly strange.


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment. She admitted, As you already knew, his conduct left much to be desired. In the beginning, I was blind and he was too perfect. At that time, it happened that I was too busy with work and a lot of things happened at home concurrently. In the end, my gastroenteritis red up, and during those days, he showed a great concerned for me and therefore I was touched by him.

 Chapter 1815. I’ll Cut Foie Gras for You, So Your Hands Wont Get Tired

    Chapter 1815. I��ll Cut Foie Gras for You, So Your Hands Won''t Get Tired


    Hearing her words, Xu Baohan felt as if he was suffering from gastroenteritis as well. It wasnt a good feeling.


    So, just because of that, you were moved by him. Does that mean that as long as Im nice to you and my character is good, youll go out with me?


    Xu Baohan was a little frustrated. If I can do all of the above, will you go out with me?


    How would I know if youre a good person? Who knows if youre not a hypocrite? To put it bluntly, Ive only met you a few times, and I dont know you very well, An Lan said bluntly, You said that you would show concern for my well-being, but now youre just saying that. You havent even done it yet, and youre asking me to date you. Judge Xu, enough is enough.


    Xu Baohan thought about it carefully and agreed. Youll find out soon enough. Tell me, how did He Mingqian treat you?


    Why should I tell you? Hes him, youre you. An Lan was exasperated. Did this guy want to learn from her ex-boyfriend? Thats ridiculous.


    Xu Baohan fell silent.


    The next table sat a couple. They were sitting side by side on the leather sofa. The man was helping the woman cut the steak. After cutting it, he said dotingly, Come, darling, let me feed you.


    The woman opened her mouth shyly and took the steak, then she kissed the man. Darling, you are so considerate.


    Darling, dont say that, this is what I should do. This steak is very difficult to cut. I cant tire your little hands.


    After saying that, the man hugged the woman and started to kiss her like there was no one else around.


    Xu Baohan watched them with the intention to learn from them, but as he watched, his ears got hotter and hotter.


    An Lan saw this scene and put a hand on her forehead in embarrassment.


    Couldnt the lovers restrain themselves a bit? This man was so disgusting. Please, there were people sitting here.


    Xu Baohan retracted his gaze and calmed himself down. Then he took An Lans te and said quietly, Ill cut the foie gras for you. I cant tire your little hands.


    An Lans legs trembled. Strangely, those disgusting and pretentious words didnt sound so disgusting when he spoke them. Instead of disgusting, they sounded husky and sexy.


    Chief Judge Xu, can you not learn from them? How hard can it be to cut the foie gras? An Lan came to her senses but he had already moved her te to his side.


    Xu Baohan frowned and pondered for a few seconds before saying, Im not sure, Ill know after I cut it.


    He quickly cut the foie gras and raised his head. Do you want me to feed you?


    Thats what lovers do and youre not my boyfriend. An Lan reminded him with a flushed face.


    A hint of regret shed across Xu Baohans eyes, but he didnt push her and returned the te to her.


    An Lan ate the foie gras and suddenly felt that a woman who needed a man to cut foie gras and steak for her was so pretentious.


    Perhaps it was because she had been single for too long.


    Excuse me Are you Miss An Lan? Here are your flowers. A young delivery guy appeared in front of her with a bouquet of flowers wrapped in pink paper. Not only were there pink and white roses, there were also hydrangeas. They were beautiful and not tacky at all.


    Surprised, she looked at Xu Baohan.


    Thank you. An Lan raised her sexy eyebrows. She had to admit that it felt good to receive such a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

 Chapter 1816. Does He Mistakenly Think I Am Jealous?

    Chapter 1816. Does He Mistakenly Think I Am Jealous?


    Xu Baohans lips curved up.


    He had to admit that his assistants idea of giving flowers was an excellent one.


    Although he didnt understand what was so good about flowers, as long as she liked them, it was fine.


    I didnt know that Chief Judge Xu is actually quite good at pleasing women. An Lan gently waved the flowers in her hand. Didnt you say that you dont understand romance at all? Im sure you used these tricks on your ex-girlfriend before.


    After saying that, she was stunned at what she had said. Why did she mention his ex-girlfriend again and again today? She was even unhappy that he had been done these things with his ex-girlfriend.


    She hoped that he wouldnt think she was jealous.


    Uneasily, she looked at the person opposite her.


    Xu Baohan obviously didnt realize it, but he was also stunned for a moment. I dont have any experience in chasing women, because women always chased me.


    An Lan:


    Alright, what else could she say?


    Some people were born to be so awesome. After all, he was so handsome.


    Im not like you. Xu Baohan smiled unkindly. Ive never had the experience of falling in love with someone but failing to win the persons heart.


    An Lan gulped down a mouthful of fruit juice gloomily. Chief Judge Xu, can we let this go?


    Sure, but dont call me that in the future. Xu Baohan looked displeased. You can call me Baohan.


    An Lan chewed on those two words, her heart thumping.


    Wasnt it too intimate?


    Um We arent that close, right? An Lan said, embarrassed.


    I asked you to call me Baohan, not Hubby. Xu Baohan smiled.


    An Lan was even more embarrassed, the heat on her face intensifying. Im talking about Baohan.


    My colleagues call me that too, are they very close? Xu Baohan didnt agree. You think too much about it. Even if were casual friends, you can still call me Baohan.


    An Lan thought gloomily that maybe she was thinking too much, but she still felt a little strange to call him Baohan. Maybe I havent changed from our tit-for-tat rtionship yet.


    I understand, Xu Baohan said with a fake smile. After all, you once cursed me of being cuckolded, cheated on, and impotent after I got married.


    An Lan:


    Im definitely not impotent, Xu Baohan added.


    An Lan almost spat out the fruit juice in her mouth. She suspected her body temperature was at least 38 degrees.


    Thank you, you dont have to exin this to me. An Lan raised her hand and said in embarrassment.


    I know, I will prove it with my actions in the future. Xu Baohan nodded solemnly.


    Xu Baohan. An Lan put down the fruit juice ss with a flushed face. Youre shameless.


    I admit it. Xu Baohan was silent for a while before he said honestly, This is the first time in my life that I want to be shameless with a woman. Can you tell me why?


    How was she supposed to answer such a question? She couldnt possibly say that he had a male hormone imbnce.


    An Lan sipped the juice, pretending not to hear him. She had never seen such an honest hoodlum before. Eat something. It wont taste good when it gets cold.


    She didnt want to continue this topic with him.


    Anyway, the two of them didntck topics during the dinner. On the contrary, they got to know each other better.


    Xu Baohan finished his meal and went to pay the bill. When he came back, he asked, Lawyer An, will you have another dinner date with me?


    An Lan held her ss of juice and waited for him to continue.

 Chapter 1817. Punish You To Call Me Bohan for the Rest of Your Life

    Chapter 1817. Punish You To Call Me Bohan for the Rest of Your Life


    Sure enough, Xu Baohan continued, This meal is on me, which means you still owe me a meal for helping youst time. If you agree to go out with me, youll owe me nothing. If you dont agree, then I have no choice but use that favor to ask you out.


    An Lan smiled, like a flower blossoming under the light.


    She had never expected Xu Baohan to be so cheeky.


    If its possible, I hope that youll owe me the meal for the rest of your life, Xu Baohan said in a calm voice, his eyes shining.


    What he meant was that if she agreed to go out with him, hed be the one paying for every date, and he would be the one paying for the rest of his life.


    An Lan was frustrated that her brain worked too fast, and she could immediately understand the meaning behind his words.


    Some words of love were straightforward and touching, while some were more stirring due to the subtleness, especially when the speaker had a handsome face and a sexy voice.


    It only took about ten seconds for an Lans face to turn pink under his gaze.


    How was she supposed to answer him?


    She was screaming in her heart.


    But as a woman, she had to show him that she wasnt easily moved. She had to let him know that she was a beautiful woman whose heart wasnt stirred easily.


    I dont know if I will owe you the meal forever, An Lan forced out a indifferent smile. But didnt you say that youre going to Shifeng Mountain with us on Sunday?


    Yes, Im going to pray for a good marriage. What are you praying for? Xu Baohan smiled.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows. Im sorry, I dont pray for marriage. For someone like me who had a crush on a man but failed to win his hand, I have many admirers, so I dont need to pray for a good marriage.


    I understand. You were just unlucky and had an indecent ex-boyfriend. Xu Baohan narrowed his eyes, a faint smile on his face. Actually, you can pray for a good boyfriend because you had bad luck in love.


    An Lans smile froze.


    But you really dont need to pray for a good marriage. Xu Baohans revealed a charming smile. Ill pray for both of us.


    An Lan:


    He was flirting with her again.


    Dont you have anything to say? Xu Baohan asked.


    What should I say? An Lan tried to control her blush and asked.


    You can say Xu Baohan paused, the corners of his lips curving up.  I think what you said is pretty good.


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him. Chief Judge Xu, I realize that youre bing more and more shameless.


    Baohan Xu Baohan reminded her.


    An Lan:


    Xu Baohan repeated, Baohan, call me Baohan from now on.


    I heard that.


    Im afraid youll forget. Now call me Baohan, Xu Baohan said, waiting quietly.


    I wont. An Lan gritted her teeth.


    If you call me Chief Judge Xu again, Xu Baohan frowned and continued, Ill make you call me Baohan for the rest of your life as you punishment. How is that?


    An Lan leaned back in her chair, her lips curving into a sly smile. Alright, I was nning to call you hubby or darling if we were to get married. It looks like Id continue calling you Baoan.


    Xu Baohan was taken aback and furrowed his brows deeply.


    Of course he didnt want her to call him Baohan after they got married. If he were to hear hubby or darling from her alluring lips


    Xu Baohan suddenly felt dry in his mouth. Forget it, but dont make the mistake again.


    So what if I make the mistake again? Its up to me, An Lan muttered to herself silently, Youre still calling me Lawyer An.

 Chapter 1818. You’re Going to Stand Me Up?

    Chapter 1818. You��re Going to Stand Me Up?


    I wont feel well. Xu Baohan suddenly coughed behind his fist, lowering his head. After all, Im now a suitor who has high expectations for you.


    Those words seemed to pierce through the air into her heart. It didnt hurt, but it was itchy.


    An Lan pinched her thigh, telling herself to calm down.


    Her previous rtionship failed because she had entered it without knowing the other party well. This time, she must control herself. After all, she had only had one meal with him.


    Dont lose your head over sweet words and a handsome face.


    Ive heard this kind of words many times, An Lan said with a smile. Ive seen the world, so I always judge a person by his action.


    Of course, Xu Baohan nodded in agreement. Its still early, why dont wewatch a movie together?


    An Lan thought about it for a while. She didnt mind spending more time with Xu Baohan. What movies do you like?


    Speaking of movies, thest time she saw one was two months ago with Li Shuang.


    Xu Baohan looked nk. Are there any good movies recently? I havent been to a movie theater in three years.


    She hadnt watched a movie for two months, but he hadnt done it for three years. It seemed he was more pathetic than she was.


    Then what movies did you watch with your ex-girlfriend? An Lan asked.


    I dont know. Xu Baohan frowned. I dont remember.


    An Lan smiled. Regardless of whether this answer was true or not, she was quite satisfied. Lets see what movies are on recently.


    As she spoke, she turned on an app on her cell phone. Then Xiao Sis call came in.


    She had a feeling that her ns to watch a movie tonight would be ruined. After all, ever since Xiao Si fell in love, he didnt hang out with friends without a good reason.


    Hello, Mr. Xiao


    An Lan, have you had supper? Remember once I told you that Nuanyi and I are going to have a prenup? Today she came to my ce so Id like you toe over and discuss about it with us, Xiao Si said cheerfully. Obviously he was in a good mood.


    Tonight? An Lan nced at Xu Baohan. Cant we do it another day?


    No, shes been quite busy recently. Were getting married soon, Xiao Si said in a low voice. Youre mywyer, Im telling you, no matter what Nuanyi brings upter, you must agree. If its something I cant do, well figure out a way to deal with itter.


    Did he mean that he was willing to give Nuanyi all he had if she asked?


    An Lan sighed. Good men nowadays were practically extinct, but she had met several in her life , so every time she was about to give up, shed think of them and find hope to continue.


    Okay, Ille over in a while.


    After she ended the call, Xu Baohans handsome face darkened with disappointment since he had heard her words. Youre going to stand me up?


    No, Im not going to stand you up, An Lan said in all seriousness. Because we only started talking about watching a movie four or five minutes ago and we didnt even decide what we were going to watch yet.


    Youre going to go back on your word after standing me up? Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow.


    An LAN looked at him for a while and gave in in resignation. I cant help it. Xiao Si is my bread and butter and one of my big clients. I must go and see him when he asks me to.


    What if he wants you to go and see him on the day of our wedding? Xu Baohans brows were furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly. He didnt like her using the term bread and butter to describe another man.

 Chapter 1819. We Seemed to Have Interrupted Lawyer An

    Chapter 1819. We Seemed to Have Interrupted Lawyer An


    Thats possible. An Lan was amused.


    Youre a charming woman, so its not impossible, Xu Baohan said expressionlessly.


    An Lan was a little embarrassed by the suddenpliment, Thank you for your sincerepliment, but Xiao Si is about to get married, so dont think too much about it. He asked me to set up a prenup, and his wife is Ji Nuanyi, a very famous and beautiful actress.


    Oh, Xu Baohan nodded calmly. I made the final decision on her case in court. A filmpany sued her for breach of contract.


    An Lan sighed. I was telling you shes a famous actress, and you talk about herwsuit.


    Xu Baohan blinked. Im sorry, but I dont know anything about her other than the case. Since you know so much about her, can you tell me what brilliant films she has starred in?


    An Lan suddenly realized that she only knew Ji Nuanyiswsuits since she had helped her with a few cases but she couldnt name any of the films she had starred in


    Why cant you answer me right away? Xu Baohan gazed at her and smiled. Do you know her as little as I do?


    Alright, I cant bicker with you now. An Lan grabbed her bag and picked up the flowers from the table. I really have to go. You can take a taxi.


    Xu Baohan walked her to her car. As he watched her carefully ce the flowers on the passenger seat, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. It felt good to see she was careful with the gift he had given her.


    An Lan, Ill busy in the next few days, but I will go to Shifeng Mountain on Sunday, Xu Baohan said. Dont stay out toote. Send me a WeChat message when you get home.


    Okay. An LAN turned to look at the figure standing by the car door, her heart inexplicably softening.


    On the way to Xiao Sis vi, she was pleased with the fragrance of flowers filling the car.


    After arriving at the vi, An Lan rang the doorbell, and it was Ji Nuanyi who opened the door. The movie star had removed her makeup, washed her hair, and changed into home clothes.


    However, this was the first time that An Lan saw Ji Nuanyi in Xiao Sis house. After all, they were going to be married. It seemed Xiao Si had finally gotten what he wanted.


    Ms. An, Im sorry to have made youe sote. Ji Nuanyi suddenly sniffed and thenughed. It seems like Ive interrupt your date or something.


    An Lan was surprised.


    You have the scent of fresh flowers on you, Ji Nuanyi said with a smile. It seems like you were on a date tonight. Xiao Si was thinking of setting you up with someone, but it seems its not necessary.


    An Lan sniffed her clothes. It turned out Ji Nuanyi had a good nose.


    Okay, pleasee in. Ji Nuanyi brought her slippers. Xiao Si just is in the bathroom.


    Just as she finished speaking, Xiao Si walked out of the bathroom downstairs. An Lan, what have you been busy withtely?


    Im working as an assistant for Mr. Li. An Lan took the tea from the maid. Im working on a case that involves arge amount of money.


    Tsk, tsk! Youve be someones assistant. Xiao si smiled and said, Its time to have a boyfriend.


    An Lan was speechless. One moment, he was mocking her for being an assistant, and the next moment, he was saying that she needed a boyfriend. Was there any logic in these two things?


    Xiao Si held Ji Nuanyis hand and said blissfully, Ever since we decided to marry, I began to understand why Nian Junting always encourages people around him to get married as soon as possible.

 Chapter 1820. An Lan, Don’t Be So Stubborn

    Chapter 1820. An Lan, Don��t Be So Stubborn


    An Lan was speechless. A moment ago, he had ridiculed her for being someones assistant, but now, he was saying that she needed a boyfriend. What did the two things have to do with each other.


    Xiao Si held Ji Nuanyis hand and said blissfully, Ever since we decided to get married, I begin to understand why Nian Junting always encourages the people around him to get married as soon as possible. An Lan, Ive been thinking a lottely, and Ive finally found a good boyfriend candidate for you. Cao Zirui, the general manager of Shengtings on risk control. You dont need me to tell you about his abilities.


    Mr. Xiao, youre about to get married. There should be a lot of things to prepare for the wedding. Do you still have the time to dwell on such trivial things? An Lan calmly took a sip of tea. She had always liked the tea in Xiao Sis house.


    Its because were old friends. Xiao Si smiled. He had finally found a way to take revenge after being ridiculed by Nian Junting for being single for so many years.


    Ji Nuanyi rolled her eyes at him. He was truly shameless. If An Lan were a man, she wouldnt feel so pressured. Nowadays, a man could remain single at 40 years old without feeling pressured as long as he was rich and handsome. However, women faced more pressure than men.


    Xiao Si wasnt a good friend.


    Ms. An is so beautiful and capable and Im sure she has many admirers, Ji Nuanyi said with a kind smile, I was just saying that I smelled the scent of flowers on Ms. An. A man must have given her the flowers. I bet that there must be a bouquet of flowers in her car.


    Really? Xiao Si was surprised. He had intended to be a matchmaker. An Lan, who gave it to you?


    An Lan rubbed her forehead. The two acted as if they had gone into her car and seen the flowers. Were just getting to know each other now. If were suitable for each other, you guys will meet him in the future.


    But I dont trust your judgment in men. Xiao Si clicked his tongue and said, I dont even want to mention your ex-boyfriend He Mingqian. On the surface, he practically treated you like a queen, but behind your back, he tried many tricks to set me against your Zhenyuan Law Firm so that I would hand business to him. Fortunately, I was smart enough to see through his tricks and told you to be careful of him. In the end, it didnt take long for him to reveal his true colors. He also underestimated me. He thought that Shengting worked with you just because were alumni. Did he think that I was an idiot?


    An Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Why did they have to dig up the past that she couldnt bear to look back on?


    How could you date such a scumbag? I


    Thats enough, Ji Nuanyi interrupted Xiao Sis rambling, The men nowadays are so hypocritical.


    Im not one of them, Xiao Si quickly said, So you have good taste in men. But An Lans taste is very strange. She needs to make a big change.


    He had never understood why An Lans unrequited love for the entric Nian Junting. As Nian Juntings buddy, he had put up with him for years.


    An Lan put down her teacup and said, Youre right. I need to make a big change. Thats why Ive decided to try it out with Xu Baohan. Didnt you say that if he and I were to get together, we would be the Smith couple in the legal world?


    Xiao Si was stunned. Xu Baohans cold and unkind face shed across his mind, and when he imagined the two of them talking about criminalw, his entire body trembled. You two want to try it out?


    An Lan smiled but did not say anything.


    Xiao Si said, An Lan, dont do it. That guy is sometimes so ruthless.

 Chapter 1821. I Dont Understand But Xu Baohan Does?

    Chapter 1821. I Don''t Understand But Xu Baohan Does?


    Sometimes?


    An Lan was puzzled.


    Xiao Si said seriously, He is a judge and I know he has his responsibilities, but he even made his parents refuse to talk to him


    He suddenly paused, remembering that An Lan also had problems with her parents. Im not talking about you, youre the exception.


    An Lan smiled calmly. Im not the exception. Its just that no matter if youre a judge or awyer, sometimes you have to be ruthless. Otherwise, how would you handle cases? Forget it, youll never understand it.


    Ill never understand it, but Xu Baohan does? Xiao Si sensed something. Are you serious with him?


    If An Lan and Xu Baohan got married, hed often see Xu Baohan. At this thought, Xiao Si felt his scalp tingle. Can you handle him?


    You cant even handle Nian Junting. Can you handle him?


    Ji Nuanyi pinched his arm and said, Dont underestimate Ms. Ans charms.


    Xiao Si grimaced. Nuanyi, I was joking.


    Amused, An Lan opened herptop and said, Lets talk business. Miss Ji. Now, let me tell you how much money Mr. Xiao has.


    As An Lan listed the real estates, shares, funds, and stocks, Ji Nuanyi was surprised that Xiao Si had such a big fortune even though she had known he was wealthy.


    It seems that I underestimated you. Ji Nuanyi smiled and nced at Xiao Si.


    Xiao Si was very proud as he finally understood the purpose of earning money was to be praised by his wife. I


    This is all because President Nians excellent investment abilities, An Lan interrupted him in a t voice. Mr. Xiao makes a lot of money as he followed President Nians investments.


    Mr. Nian is really amazing, Ji Nuanyi nodded and stopped praising Xiao Si.


    Xiao Si red at an LAN gloomily. She was definitely getting back at him for his saying that she couldnt handle Xu Baohan.


    An Lan pretended not to see it. Miss Ji, you can set up thepensation in the prenuptial agreement in the case that Mr. Xiao cheats on you in the future. For example, if he cheats on you, you can divorce him with every penny he has going into your pocket.


    Ji Nuanyi looked at Xiao Si in surprise. Xiao Si puffed out his chest. I definitely wont cheat on you.


    Ji Nuanyis gaze was gentle. She held his hand and shook her head. Its not necessary. If he lets me down, we can just divorce and go our separate ways. I wont take his money that he has before marriage.


    An Lan was surprised. Xiao Si frowned and said, Nuanyi


    Ji Nuanyi smiled faintly. Many people say that I marry you for your money, but I can make money myself. I dontck money. One day, if you do something to let me down, it only means that I chose the wrong person or that Im not attractive enough. I will only take what belongs to me, and then the two of us will have nothing to do with each other.


    Xiao Si was stunned and held her hand tightly. Ji Nuanyi looked at him and smiled sweetly.


    An Lan looked at them with envy, admiring Ji Nuanyis confidence in herself. As awyer, she had seen many cold prenuptial contracts and people fighting fiercely over money when they divorced.


    She suddenly thought of Xu Baohan. He had even sent her a red packet of 1800 yuan to consult with her about the prenuptial contract.


    If she were to get married, she would probably treat the prenuptial contract as Ji Nuanyi did.


    At ten oclock, An Lan was ready to leave. Ill prepare the contract and send it over to you two in a couple of days.


    Thank you for your hard work. Ji Nuanyi walked her to the door. Ms. An, remember to bring your date to our wedding.

 Chapter 1822. Feeling A Little Sweet

    Chapter 1822. Feeling A Little Sweet


    This An Lan didnt know what to say.


    Xiao Si would get married in two weeks. This was a little difficult.


    Good luck, Ji Nuanyi raised her fist in encouragement.


    On the way back, An Lan turned on the radio. The emcee happened to be talking about the wedding of the popr movie star Ji Nuanyi. To congratte it, the TV station specially broadcasted Zhang Liangyings song Finally you came.


    She sighed. A movie stars wedding was indeed different. It was a torture for single people.


    When she drove through a crossing, Xu Baohans call came in. The moment An Lan answered it, he happened to hear lyrics, After a long waiting, you finally came. Luckily I didnt give up


    Xu Baohan paused for a moment when he heard the pleasant singing. Then he said, This song is very suitable for us now.


    An Lan was embarrassed. The radio station is ying it.


    I know, I didnt say that youre ying it. Xu Baohan smiled.


    An Lan suddenly felt as if he had seen through her. Im not home yet.


    I know. You said the song is yed by the radio station so you must be in the car.


    An Lan was speechless. Even though he did not say it, she could hear the hint of youre so stupid in his words.


    Youre really smart, She said disgruntledly. She yawned and started the car again.


    If youre tired, drive slowly, Xu Baohan reminded her. Xiao Si made you work sote and didnt even consider that youre a woman and that it isnt safe to drive home at thiste hour.


    Have you considered it before? An Lan smiled.


    Xu Baohan was silent for a moment before replying, No, I havent.


    Hes the same. Alright, Im driving now. Ill send you a message when I get home.


    After reaching home on the other side of the city, she sent Xu Baohan a message: Im home..


    Looking at the two words, a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart. It had been a long, long time since she sent these two words to someone. No one cared if she got home safely or not.


    White Horse Is Not Horse replied: Good. By the way, what do I need to take with me on Sunday when we go to Shifeng Mountain?


    An Lan smiled and replied: I wont tell you.


    White Horse Is Not Horse:


    An LAN: Why did you change your WeChat name right after our blind date? Did you do it because I said your WeChat name was outdated? Also, youre a judge, why did you use such a sophisticated phrase as White Horse Is Not Horse as you name?


    As awyer, she understood the origin of this phrase. In the university, her teacher had carefully analyzed it to them. During the Warring States period, the horses of the state of Zhao contracted an infectious disease. To prevent the gue from entering the country, the state of Qin prohibited the horses of the state of Zhao from crossing its border. However, Gongsun Long came with his white horse and argued with the guards saying a white horse was not a horse. He finally entered the state of Qin. Until now, the phrase had been used to mean deception.


    How could a judge use such a phrase as his WeChat name?


    Not long ago, his WeChat name had been Lawful Life.


    About two minutester, Xu Baohan replied: Yes, after our blind date, I realized that my future wife was an expert in sophistry, so I changed my WeChat name to White Horse Is Not Horse. Do you like It?


    An Lans face turned red immediately, as her heartstring was stirred by his words.


    Fortunately, he couldnt see her face.


    But this person was really so sneaky. Old Fox.


    An Lan smiled and felt a little sweet despite herself.

    Chapter 1823. The Dress Looks ssy on Him


    The next day, when An Lan stepped into the office, all the colleagues of thew firm immediately looked at with admiration. Even the seniorwyer Ma Shuanghua looked at her with admiration on her face, An Lan, youre good. When I heard the rumor about you and Chief Judge Xu, I thought it was you who kept pestering him. I didnt expect Tsk, tsk! It seems youve won his heart. Amazing.


    I have a feeling that Chief judge Xu is the one, Yan Wen said obsequiously. Ms. An, youll definitely be a legend among thewyers.


    Exasperated, An Lan wanted to tell her that she didnt want to be a legend in this way, okay.


    Li Yuchen winked at her. To spice things up between you and Chief Judge Xu, Ive decided to make the event on Sunday more exciting.


    An Lan had an ominous feeling.


    Li Yuchen chuckled. Ive decided that we wont take the cable car that day. Well hike all the way to the top of the mountain.


    Are you crazy? An Lan widened her eyes. Do you know how high the mountain is? Did you ask others opinion?


    Ms. An, we all agreed.


    The voices of their colleagues rang out at the same time.


    An Lan,


    Yan Wen cupped her own face with both hands. Ms. An, dont worry. If the mountain is too high for you, you can ask Chief Judge Xu to carry you on his back and test his stamina in bed.


    An Lans lips twitched.


    What the f*ck did stamina in bed have to do with climbing a mountain?


    Moreover, Xu Baohan worked all day long in his office and she guessed he didnt do sports. Shed thank God if he could reach the mountain top and didnt expect him to carry her.


    Forget it, shed better rely on herself.


    Sunday.


    At 8 am, the mini bus stopped outside the office building.


    An LAN arrived rtively early. When she got on the bus, there were already four or five colleagues inside. She greeted everyone and Yan Wen immediately ushered her to thest row of seats, Ms. An, your and Chief Judge Xu sit in here. I cleaned the seats. Its clean and spacious. Its also private.


    An Lans lips twitched. Spacious was good, but what did she mean by private.


    She knew that she and Xu Baohan would sit together, but these people were too deliberate.


    Ms. Yan, well done. An Lan smiled and praised her. But I dont n to sit in thest row, because if theres an ident on the highway, its the worst spot for people to get out, so maybe you should sit in this row. I still have a lot of money waiting for me to spend.


    After that, she sat down in the first row.


    Yan Wens expression turned stiff. Now that Ms. An mentioned the danger of sitting in thest row, how dared Yan Wen sit in there?


    After An Lan sat down, she suddenly regretted her decision. She should have listened to Yan Wen and sat in the back because the two-seater row wasnt very spacious. It was not crowded for a woman, but Xu Baohan was tall


    But after saying those words, she couldnt be so thick-skinned as to move to the back.


    Just then, Xu Baohan stepped in wearing ck sports clothes and white sneakers. The zipper on the jacket was golden, and there was a golden puma logo on the sleeves. The outfit made him, a 30-year-old mature man, six or seven years younger. Not only that, dressed in the ck sports jacket which would look bad on an average person, he looked like a brand spokesperson. The jacket looked ssy on him.


    An Lan was not the only one who thought so. The other people in the bus shared her sentiments. Li Yuchen smacked his lips and said, When did the Pumas clothes be so fashionable? Maybe Ill go get one.

 Chapter 1825. Did You Buy These Snacks For Me

    Chapter 1825. Did You Buy These Snacks For Me


    An Lans face quickly heated up. The blush was very obvious on her fair skin.


    Xu Baohans eyes darkened. It wasnt that he had never seen a woman blush before, but that he found it especially adorable on her.


    He opened a bottle of mineral water and gulped down two mouthfuls. An Lan turned to look at his sexy Adams apple moving up and down. A momentter, he said in a low voice, Its pretty hot today.


    Yeah, An Lan nodded quickly. Maybe we are overdressed?


    I think so.


    Xu Baohan unzipped his jacket, revealing the white T-shirt underneath.


    After everyone had arrived, the driver started the bus.


    Shifeng Mountain was located in a county of the neighboring city. It was a two-hour drive on the highway.


    Most of the people on the bus had brought their families with them. Everyone was chattering and it was quite lively. In contrast, An Lan and Xu Baohan were rather quiet.


    Xu Baohan nced at the young couple behind him. The girl leaned on the guys shoulder and the guy was feeding her food. But what was he feeding her?


    Meat jerky?


    Xu Bohan hadnt bought any meat jerky.


    Xu Baohan picked up the stic bag. Lawyer An, would you have some snacks? I bought a lot.


    An Lan nodded. She had guessed that he would buy snacks, so she didnt bring any. If he didnt prepare anything, then there was no need for him to think about it.


    She just didnt know what he had bought.


    An Lan opened the bag and took a look. She was stunned.


    Glutinous rice cookies? Soda biscuits? Mung bean cakes? Wangwang snow cookies? Compressed biscuits?


    Unbelievable.


    An Lan raised her head and stared into his eyes. You bought all these for me?


    Xu Baohan nodded. I bought them from the convenience store near my home.


    An Lan took a deep breath, We dont know each other well, but you must know that Im a young woman, not someone in her 70s or 80s. Few young women would like to eat these as snacks. Look at what others brought. Nuts, spicy meat jerky, imported biscuits, yoghurt. And you even broughtpressed biscuits. Its a one-day trip, okay?


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows tightly. He seemed to have realized that he had made a mistake. Im sorry, I didnt know. When I went to visit my grandmother, I found she liked to eat these. I thought that youd like these, too. I used to bringpressed biscuits when I hiked in mountains, its very filling.


    Im not your grandmother, thank you. An Lan felt like crying. How could hepare her to his grandma? As forpressed biscuits, the only time I ate them was when I went to Tibet.


    Xu Baohan realized the seriousness of the matter. Then what should I do? Ill go and buy other snacks when we get to the mountain.


    There wont be anything good there. Forget it, Ill make do with what we have. Luckily, you brought some fruits, An Lan wished she had done the shopping. Anyway, it wasnt entirely his fault. He had asked her on WeChat what she wanted to eat and she said she wasnt picky. But she didnt expect him to be so clueless.


    Xu Baohan was a little upset that things didnt go well the first time he went out with her.


    When you were dating your ex-girlfriend, did she eat these snacks? An Lan couldnt help asking.


    I gave her money and she bought them herself. Xu Baohan suddenly realized that he still had a lot to learn about dating.

 Chapter 1826. I Hope You Wont Be Worse Than My Ex-boyfriend

    Chapter 1826. I Hope You Won''t Be Worse Than My Ex-boyfriend


    However, to woo a woman like An Lan, he had to master the skills quickly.


    An Lan was speechless, starting to doubt whether they were suitable for each other. You wont treat me like this in the future, right? Or youll just ignore me after I be your girlfriend and give me the money so Ill do everything myself?


    I wont, Xu Baohan denied in a solemn voice. Absolutely not.


    An Lan looked at him and sighed, After seeing what youve done, I began to doubt your words. You kept mocking me for being deceived by my ex-boyfriend. But in the end you might not do things that even he could do for me. Youre a little better than my ex-boyfriend in character. As for the rest


    Ill change, Xu Baohan quickly interrupted her, a rare look of nervousness in his eyes.


    He really was surprised that shed think he was worse than that scumbag.


    How ridiculous.


    You have a long way to go, An Lan said with mixed feelings.


    Xu Baohans originally bright and cheerful mood suddenly turned gloomy, as though a thunderstorm was about to strike.


    He silently opened a packet of Wangwang rice pancakes. He didnt understand why she didnt like this delicious snack. When he was little, people used to give Wangwang rice pancakes as gifts, but nowadays, people only loved imported snacks. In his opinion, domestic snacks were quite good.


    Chief Judge Xu, what are you eating? Li Yuchen, who was sitting before them, turned around and saw the snack. Wangwang rice pancakes! I didnt expect you to like them. My son also likes them.


    Xu Baohan,


    An Lan suppressed her smile and looked out the window.


    Xu Baohan hesitated for a moment. He peeled arge apple and handed it to her. Since you dont like the snacks, eat an apple then. Its healthy to eat fruits, Ive peeled it.


    An Lan looked at the apple, her head aching. She really didnt like apples, but she had to admit that apples were the best gifts no matter where she went.


    Seeing that he had peeled the apple for her, she took it and ate it slowly. It took her half an hour to finish the apple.


    The bus stopped at a service station on the highway so everyone could use the restroom. As An Lan and her colleagues went to the restroom, Xu Baohan stood outside and waited for her. An Lan hadnt spoken much to him today, which made his heart heavy.


    Li Yuchen handed him a cigarette. Chief Judge Xu, do you smoke?


    Xu Baohan nced at him expressionlessly. I dont.


    Li Yuchens legs trembled under his nce, as though he had been warned in court. Er umm Chief Judge Xu, actually An Lan doesnt like apples.


    Xu Baohans gaze turned back to him. Say that again.


    Li Yuchens heart contracted as he replied nervously, Im telling the truth. Once she got sick and we brought her apples. After that, we saw that the apples in her office stayed untouched until they were rotten. She preferred to eat cherries, strawberries, kiwis, lychees, mangosteens and the like.


    How do you know so much about her? Xu Baohan narrowed his eyes, feeling a little jealous of the person in front of him.


    Because shes my business partner. We work together or socialize together, which is why I know what she likes and dislikes. Li Yuchen felt like crying. He was kind enough to advice Xu Baohan but thetter actually got jealous. Also, I saw the cakes you bought. An Lan doesnt like that kind of cakes. Shes very particr and only eats a certain brand of cakes made with imported cream.

 Chapter 1827. This was the First Time He Realized how Petite She was

    Chapter 1827. This was the First Time He Realized how Petite She was


    Xu Baohan was feeling gloomy.


    He always thought that everything was under his control, even when facing with affection issue that he was unfamiliar with, he could handle it with ease. Now, he suddenly realized that he had created a lot of problems due to his own negligence.


    If this was to be continued, he might as well be eliminated.


    What is your wechat ount? Xu Baohan took out his phone. Ill add you.


    Li Yuchen was stunned. Chief Judge Xu, are you serious in wanting to add me on your wechat?


    He was so excited and nervous. It was the same feeling as when your teacher mentioned to you that he wanted to be your friend. Oh My God! Li Yuchen was under tremendous pressure.


    Okay, let me knowter on wechat what An Lan likes and dislikes such as which brand of cakes and what dishes she likes to eat, what she likes to do normally, Xu Baohan said seriously.


    These Actually I am not quite sure, Li Yuchen replied anxiously.


    Then help me to find it out, Xu Baohan responded as he saw An Lan walked towards them.


    Li Yuchen also noticed it and replied immediately, Dont worry, Chief Judge Xu, I will definitely take care of it properly.


    Xu Baohan:


    He seemed to have seen Su Runs shadow on Li Yuchen.


    An Lan walked towards them and looked at them. What are both of you chatting about?


    Xu Baohan looked at her in embarrassment. Mr Li told me that you dont like to eat apples.


    An Lan rolled her eyes at Li Yuchen helplessly. Li Yuchen responded quickly, s, my legs are so sore. Ill get into the car.


    Indeed could it be more ingenuine?


    An Lan shook her head in amusement. Xu Baohan looked at her expression. He couldnt help but say, An Lan, I finally understand why you had to take half an hour just to eat an apple. If you dont like to eat apples, you can tell me directly.


    I didnt eat the snack you bought and if I mentioned to you that I dont like to eat the apple that you purposed peeled it for me, wouldnt it be a p at your face? An Lan shrugged helplessly, Chief Judge Xu, even though my favorable impression on you as my admirer kept on decreasing, I would still respect you as a judge.


    Xu Baohans heart skipped a beat. Why are you addressing me like this again? An Lan, Im not a Casanova. Its impossible for me to do it perfectly right from the beginning. Casanovas are experienced in this. Give me a little bit of time. It wont take long.


    An Lan sighed. She had to admit that he did make a sensible statement.


    Nowadays, men with high EQ had a past which was tooplicated, and they might not be faithful. However, those with a low EQ had to be trained patiently.


    Get into the car, Xu Baohan told An Lan as she stepped into the car.


    ..


    When the car was on the highway, the road became crooked, especially when it had to cut through another mountain when they were about to reach Shifeng Mountain. There were sharp turns along the road and those in the car were tossed around. On a few asions, An Lan leaned towards Xu Baohan uncontrobly.


    However, when the car negotiated another curve, Xu Baohan was leaning towards An Lan. Her petite figure was squeezed and leaned against the window,


    There are a lot of curves on this road, His gaze was low and deep. When he squeezed against her, he realized that she was a small girl.


    Thats right. Why are there so many curves? An Lan felt hot and weak from being squeezed by him. If this was to be continued, she would be unable to breathe.


    Fortunately, before long, they arrived at their destination.


    Li Yuchen sent his assistant to buy the tickets. Each one of them received one. There was a lot of incense sellers when they arrived at the entrance of the mountain. There were incenses that were burnt to pray for a good marriage, family well-being, wealth, health and childbearing.


    They definitely would not ascend the mountain without praying for what they wished for. Therefore, all of them walked in together.


    An Lan looked at the incense for quite some time before deciding to take a handful of it to pray for wealth and wellbeing. In actual fact, she had wanted to pray for a good marriage, but with Xu Baohan around, she was embarrassed to do so.

 Chapter 1828. Xu Baohan Carried Her in His Arms Instantaneously

    Chapter 1828. Xu Baohan Carried Her in His Arms Instantaneously


    Xu Baohan actedpletely different from An Lan. He took two packages of incense sticks to pray for a good marriage and another package to pray for offspring.


    The package of incense sticks that he took to pray for offspring attracted a lot of others attention.


    An Lan noticed it too and she felt a little embarrassed of it.


    Li Yuchen couldnt help chuckling. Chief Judge Xu is the best. You have the foresight. Not only you would pray for a good marriage, you even would pray for offspring. With such a determined wish, Bodhisattva would definitely fulfill your wish. Miss An, you have to work hard.


    Everyone looked at An Lan and Xu Baohan and smiled suggestively.


    An Lan looked at Li Yuchen with piercing eyes. Nobody would regard you as a dumb person if you did not utter a single word.


    Xu Baohan did not say a word. He just smiled and looked at her.


    An Lan touched her forehead and whispered to him grumpily, Its alright if you were to pray for a good marriage, but now you even prayed for offspring. What message do you try to convey? If you were to pray for our offspring, forget it, Im a Dink.


    Is that so? Xu Baohan blinked calmly. Take it easy. Im just simply praying without any intention.


    Praying to Bodhisattva also could be without the sincerity. It was too impious.


    Xu Baohan took out his wallet and asked the seller, How much do we have to pay?


    An Lan quickly interrupted. Ill pay on my own. There are some that you can pay it for me, but the donation money to pray for Bodhisattva, I would have to pay it myself. Otherwise, you would be blessed and not me. In this case, my wishes would not be fulfilled.


    Xu Baohan thought about it and concurred with her view.


    ..


    Everyone set off to ascend the mountain after buying the incense.


    For the first hour, everyone was quite rxing, chatting andughing. However, for the next hour, An Lan felt that she was going to be paralyzed. A lot of her female colleagues were also started to walk like snails.


    I told you we should have taken the cable car, short of breath, An Lan started toin. Now we couldnt even sit even if we wanted to. Oh My God! We still have to walk for another hour. I couldnt believe it. This is a bad news. The mountain is too high.


    Comrades,e on! Li Yuchen raised his fist while catching his breath. Lets support our spouse and ascend the mountain together.


    Hearing this, a few mountain-climbing tourists whispering at the back, What are they doing? Hearing the slogan, it seemed that they are involving in Multi-level Marketing (MLM).


    I also thought so. Those in MLM came all the way here to worship Bodhisattva? They really work very hard.


    An Lan who was walking at the back of them trembled happened to hear their conversation.


    Do you want me to help you? Xu Baohan stretched out his hand.


    An Lan noticed that those who had brought their families along had held each others hand. She looked at the big palm in front of her. She wavered for a moment wanting to ept his help, but she shook her head ultimately. She couldnt give in so easily because of a mountain.


    Give me your bag, when he saw that she was reluctant, Xu Baohan offered his help again.


    No necessary. Its not that heavy. An Lan shook her head.


    Xu Baohan squinted his eyes looking at her before he took the bag powerfully from her shoulder and hung it on his chest.


    Xu Baohan An Lan turned around and saw that he had hung her backpack on his body. It made him looked quiteical.


    An Lan, you might be strong, but at a situation like this, a man is needed to be utilized. Xu Baohan walked in front of her and bent himself down. Get on to my back.


    An Lan looked at his broad back. Although she really wanted to get on it, she still shook her head. No necessary. I can still walk, and you also need to climb the mountain


    Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Baohan carried her in his arms instantaneously.


    What are you doing? An Lan eximed as she subconsciously hugged his neck. For the first time, she could see his handsome face from such a close range.

 Chapter 1829. An Lan, you’re not Heavy. You’re quite Light.

    Chapter 1829. An Lan, you��re not Heavy. You��re quite Light.


    Couldnt you see it? This was the first time Xu Baohan had seen such a panicked expression on An Lans small face. Her pointed lips curved slightly simr to the trace of snow which was started to melt. Im carrying you.


    I know. An Lan was blushing. Although both of them were thest in the line, she could feel that someone was looking at their direction.


    They all were her subordinates. She had never appeared to be so weak in front of them. She was at a loss. Put me down quickly. You behave like a hoodlum. You dont have the right to carry me.


    I think Im rendering help to you. Since you could barely walk, and you wouldnt let me support you, I could only carry you like this. Xu Baohan stared at her, He walked steadily. An Lan, youre not heavy, in fact, youre quite light.


    Youre quite thick-skinned. An Lan gritted her teeth. Behave like a hoodlum but you called it as rendering help to me.


    An Lan, there are a lot of people here. What could I possibly do to you in front of them? Xu Baohan smiled, You are right. Although Im not your boyfriend as of now, Ive followed you all the way here. Is there a necessity for you trying to be brave and not utilizing a man like me to help you? Didnt you mention before that you hope that you could rely on your future partner? Now is the time to consider me to be your partner.


    An Lan was stunned hearing this. It was true that there was a lot of people around. Therefore, it was unlikely that he could have done anything on her. However, it was really unusual to be carried so intimately by a man, especially when her body was pressed tightly against his burning chest and her hand was hanging on his neck. His skin was so warm that it could have burnt her hands.


    She felt very peculiar, especially along the road up to the mountain. She was at a loss with this sort of unfamiliar intimacy.


    At this moment, more and more of their colleagues finally noticed them. They all looked at them with a vague and surprised expression.


    Yan Wen immediately cupped her face. Wow, Chief Judge Xu has a lot of strength. Hes very manly. Miss An, youre so lucky. Were so envious.


    Yeah. Another female colleague started toin to her boyfriend. You only know how to hold my hand to walk faster. If you have the strength, you should learn from Chief Judge Xu.


    Her boyfriend smiled sheepishly. Forgive me. Youre too heavy.


    Get lost.


    The road up to the mountain was echoed withughter.


    An Lan started to blush again hearing everyonesughter. She wasnt used to be the center of attention. She whispered to Xu Baohan, Youve been carrying me for quite some time now. I know that you have the strength but you just put me down. Theres still a long way to go, and there are stairs.


    Her voice was too soft, and the surrounding was noisy. Xu Baohan couldnt hear it clearly, so he only replied with an er before bending over and putting his ear close to her mouth.


    An Lans heart skipped a beat when she saw the magnified handsome side face right in front of her.


    His ears were a little fleshy. It was said that those with fleshy ears were blessed and would enjoy a sessful career.


    Why were you stopped talking? Xu Baohan who had been bending over and looked at her from his side face noticed that she had became quiet. He stopped and looked at her directly.


    Both of them were already near to each other, and An Lan was looking straight at him. Their eyes met at a very close range.


    The two pairs of dark eyes reflected each others appearance, as if they were staring at two abysses.


    There seemed to be a maic force pulling each other in the dark abysses.


    An Lan could only hear her heart palpitating. His breath just touching on her lips.


    Xu Baohan shifted his gaze slightly andnded on her moist and plump red lips which were like jelly.


    If he bent down further, he would have kissed her.

 Chapter 1830. If I were to get injured, you would be finished.

    Chapter 1830. If I were to get injured, you would be finished.


    An Lan subconsciously grabbed the cor on Xu Baohans neck.


    She thought that if he were to kiss her now, she would definitely not being able to avoid it.


    However, she soon noticed that the pair of dark eyes after frozen for a moment staring at her had resumed to its rity and calmness.


    He asked again in a low and hoarse voice, Say it again.


    An Lan also calmed down quickly. What was she thinking about earlier? She was so nervous that she thought he might have kissed her. I said, put me down. Theres still an hour for you to walk, especially thest half an hour. Its all steep slopes and stairs.


    Thats why I have to hold you until thest half an hour so that you can conserve your energy, Xu Baohan replied as he carried her up a little.


    An Lan took a deep breath. Its not the moment to unt your superiority. You would not be able to stand it.


    An Lan, I might be in the office most of the time, but I have a very good stamina. Ive been jogging for ten years without fail, Xu Baohan exined in a low voice.


    An Lan stared at him in astonishment. She wouldnt be able to do it even for a week. How did you do it?


    Xu Baohans eyes which were as deep as the ocean exuded a thin line of smile,  Actually, the work pressure of being a judge is quite stressful. asionally, besides working, you would have to exercise so that you could maintain a healthy body and mind. I dont want to be upied by work alone and sacrifice my health.


    All of a sudden, An Lan was enlightened. She admired him at this instance. In the past, in order to earn more money, she would always stay upte and work overtime. asionally, she would have to fly to several cities in a day. It was actually quite tiring and taxing. Everyday, all she wanted was to find a bed to rest. In fact. when she got older, the side effects of this overworking during her youth would surface.


    Actually, theres another reason. Xu Baohan unexpectedly shared his feelings. Its because I dont have a partner to sleep beside me. To me, theres no one that I could attach to on the big bed that I sleep on it every night.


    This issue was a little off-topic.


    An Lans ears were burning.


    She pretended not hearing and said, Since you have so much strength, then I would have to trouble you. If I were to get injured, you would be finished.


    An Lan then closed her eyes, not looking at ormunicating with him.


    Xu Baohan looked at her with a smile. He then continued to move forward with determination.


    Everyone thought that he could only hold on for a short while, but they didnt expect him to carry An Lan walking on the mountain road for another half an hour.


    Those men who werent convinced couldnt help but admire of his good stamina.


    An Lan remembered what Yan Wen had mentioned before this about good at bed. Now that she thought of it, he should be pretty good at it.


    Nevertheless, pretty good was whether it actually meant good or bad.


    Unconsciously, what she thought had made her heart burning.


    It wasnt until Xu Baohan stopped in front of the stairs that he woke her up. An Lan, the stone stairs in front of us are too steep. Its not safe for me to carry you up. You have to climb it on your own.


    An Lan opened her eyes. Xu Baohan put her down and adjusted her clothes.


    After carrying her for quite some time, his handsome face was flushed. There was sweat on his forehead and nose, but his had no body odor.


    Although he volunteered to carry her, An Lan still felt embarrassed. You better drink some water. Do you want to rest here for a moment and eat some fruit?


    We can rest when we walk a bit further up, Xu Baohan replied swiftly, I just noticed that there are stalls selling food in the arbor up there. Did you mention that you didnt like to eat the food I brought? When we reach there, lets see if theres any fresh fruit sold by the farmers nearby.

 Chapter 1831. The Incidence of Climbing Mountain in Embarrassment

    Chapter 1831. The Incidence of Climbing Mountain in Embarrassment


    An Lan felt a warm current flowing through her heart.


    Actually, after thinking about it carefully, she shouldnt have rejected him on the basis of the food that he brought didnt agree with her. After all, both of them didnt have much interaction before this. He would not have known what she liked to eat.


    Lets go, I remember that there is someone selling jellied bean curd up there.


    On this asion, An Lan took the lead and walked in front of Xu Baohan. Earlier, she had been carried by him. She had rested for quite some time now and had rejuvenated. As she walked, she suddenly realized that something was not right, Where are Mr Li and the rest? Why didnt I see them? They couldnt have walked far ahead of us, could they?


    Theyre at the back, Xu Baohan replied calmly.


    An Lan was stunned. Thats impossible.


    How could he manage to walk ahead of a group of people while carrying her?


    Those from yourw firm arent very athletic, Xu Baohanmented with a weird expression. If theyrecking of physical strength, they should have taken the cable car.


    An Lan:


    It couldnt be said that they wanted to climb the mountain to provide an opportunity for both of them to develop their rtionship. In addition, she thought of what Yan Wen had said to her the other day..


    An Lan didnt dare to look at his eyes directly. Her face was burning. Er its because we arecking of physical strength that we came here to climb the mountain. Stop talking, lets move.


    An Lan took the lead and climbed up the stairs. As the stairs were too steep, she could only climb it by holding the banisters.


    Xu Baohan followed her and when he raised his head, his gaze wouldnd on her buttocks.


    He hadnt noticed it before, but now that she was wearing jeans, he suddenly realized that she was quite sexy.


    His dry throat instantly became drier.


    Xu Baohan decided not to look up. He lowered his head to stare at the stairs.


    All of a sudden, she stopped. He didnt notice it and he bumped his head into the stic spot.


    An Lan cried out in a low voice. She turned around and saw his head, With her eyes wide opened, she couldnt believe it, You Xu Baohan Do you want me to sue you for behaving like a hoodlum?


    Her face was instantly covered as if with rosy clouds.


    With all her strength, An Lan turned around to protect herself.


    Xu Baohan covered his head. He was also stunned with a sense of embarrassment. You suddenly stopped. I didnt notice it. I was looking at my feet.


    Stop lying. An Lan didnt believe him. Her tone was serious.


    Xu Baohan straightened up and looked at her calmly. You were walking in front of me. When I looked up, I could see your buttocks. Therefore, I walked with my head down.


    An Lan stared at him with a face flushed with anger. If she could kill him now, she would have kicked him down the mountain. You dirty rascal


    Through gritted teeth, these three words came out from her mouth atst.


    Xu Baohan felt innocent. Actually, he didnt do anything wrong. Why he deserved to bebelled as such, An Lan, if you insist on using me of something I didnt do, in the future. I will not avoid looking at it and will not let you give me a dressing down without reason. Id rather be honest with you.


    It meant that next time, he would stare fixedly at her


    An Lan felt as though she was on fire. The entire body felt unnatural. You dont imagine that you will have this opportunity. This time, you walk in front of me.


    Ill walk in front, but you have to be careful. Dont fall down, Xu Baohan reminded her out of goodwill.


    Youre the one who are going to fall down. I will not. My life is precious, I still have a lot of money to spend. An Lan moved aside to let him walk in front of her.


    Xu Baohan didnt mind it and walked forward at once. At this moment, it was the turn of An Lan following him.


    An Lan then realized the miserable fact of the awkwardness that Xu Baohan went through. Indeed, when she looked up, she would have seen his buttocks.


    Look, he was a man of stout build.

 Chapter 1832. An Lan, You Have Beautiful Eyes

    Chapter 1832. An Lan, You Have Beautiful Eyes


    For a moment, An Lan was lost in her thoughts looking at it.


    Xu Baohan unexpectedly turned and held her gaze. He asked with a faint smile, What are you looking at?


    An Lan shuddered and forced herself to smile awkwardly. I am looking at your legs. They are truly straight and full of strength.


    Is that so? Xu Baohan raised his brows. If that is the case, do you like them?


    An Lan replied unnaturally, Not too bad.


    Xu Baohan smiled without batting an eyelid. He did not pursue this further and continued to walk.


    An Lan watched him walking away. She heaved a sigh of relief. She could now understand what Xu Baohan had went through. Those who walked at the back were indeed being positioned in an awkward situation.


    After about ten minutes, both of them arrived at an arbor. There were some farmers selling local specialties and fruits. However, the quality of the fruits was not specially good. In the end, they ordered two bowls of jellied bean curd and found a big rock to sit down and eat.


    It was exhausting walking all the way here. After eating a bowl of fresh jellied bean curd, An Lan felt much morefortable.


    When she wiped the corner of her mouth after eating, she inadvertently turned her head and saw Xu Baohan staring at her. The stare was burning.


    What are you looking at? An Lan felt ufortable staring by him. When she saw his face now, she couldnt help but think of his buttocks that she kept looking at along the way.


    Why are you blushing? All of a sudden, Xu Baohan asked.


    Ha, its too hot, too hot. An Lan pretended to wipe her forehead. Cant you see that Im sweating?


    Xu Baohan continued to stare at her. A trace of curiosity was shing in his eyes. Yes, you are sweating, but I did not notice that your eye makeup was melting. An Lan, your eye makeup is too heavy.


    An Lan was stunned, but she reacted and replied, I didnt put on any eye makeup, okay?


    This time, it was Xu Baohan who was stunned. Thats impossible. Why are your eyshes so thick without putting on makeup?


    Theyre naturally thick. An Lan rolled her eyes at him. However, as a girl, she was happy to beplimented for having thick eyshes even without putting on makeup.


    Xu Baohan was still suspicious. He moved closer to take a good look at her. He noticed that there were no traces of drawing on her eyelids. An Lan, you have very beautiful eyes.


    Unexpectedly, she was beingplimented, especially when she was being stared by him from such a close range.


    An Lan started to feel warmer all over. It was already very warm, but now she felt even warmer inexplicably.


    Alright, weve taken enough rest. Its time to continue climbing up the mountain.


    She quickly got up and continued climbing the stairs.


    However, the higher they went up, the harder it was to climb. Atst, she would rest a while before climbing a few more steps, even then, she was out of breath.


    She couldnt remember when Xu Baohan offered his hand to hold her and she did not have much thought of it.


    He held her from the above and both of them walked slowly to the mountain top.


    Standing at the peak, she could view the mountains below shrouded in a cloud of white fog.


    Wow! Its breathtaking. An Lan walked to the cliff edge to enjoy the scenery.


    Hm, today weather is pretty good. Xu Baohan nced at their hands which were held together. She didnt seem to notice it. Their hands were a little sweaty because they held each other too tightly earlier, When holding it in his palm, he felt that her hand was small and soft.


    Unlike the other girls, she was very resilient. This was perhaps due to her feminist charm.


    Have you been to Mount Emei? An Lan asked suddenly. If the weather is good, Mount Emei would look like an immortal pce when its shrouded in clouds. Its even more captivating than here.


    Ive never been there. Xu Baohan shook his head and stared at her. I like this ce more. Wherever you are, it will be more captivating.

 Chapter 1824. I’ll Feel Bad to See You Suffer

    Chapter 1824. I��ll Feel Bad to See You Suffer


    His wife, Mu Ling, who was sitting next to him, mercilessly said, The jacket looks good because of the wearer. If you wear it, no one would want to buy it.


    Li Yuchen red at her. When he saw his wife staring at Xu Baohan avidly, he felt like crying. Everyone in the world liked pretty faces.


    Xu Baohan did not even look at the other people in the bus. His gaze fell on An Lan sitting in the front row. Wearing a white baseball jacket and sunsses, she turned from an efficient officedy to into a youthful girl.


    Their jackets looked matching, one white and the other ck.


    Xu Baohan walked over and sat next to her. He brought arge stic bag filled with food and drinks.


    An Lan looked at him. He was really tall, and the chair seemed to have shrunk after he sat down. Her shoulder was pressed against his arm, and they could smell each others scent and feel each others body temperature.


    Xu Baohan felt it and immediately shifted to the other side, but it was still very crowded.


    Yan Wen, who was sitting behind them, whispered to the colleague sitting next to her, I finally understand why Ms. An insisted on sitting in a double seat. I was just stupid and naive.


    You know now. She likes it because of the smaller space. People in love like to sit close to each other, the colleague giggled. Youre still inexperiencedpared with Ms. An. Shes an expert in love.


    Expert in love


    An Lan was speechless.


    Did these two know that the people sitting before them could hear their whispers? What would Xu Baohan think of her? Did he think that she had chosen the seats on purpose?


    She felt wronged and looked at Xu Baohan in resignation. Xu Baohan heard it too. He gave her a meaningful smile, his pale ears slightly red.


    An Lan,


    He had really misunderstood her.


    She tried to exin, Dont get it wrong. Ive read lots of news of buses catching fire on the highway. I dont think its safe to sit in the back. Its harder to get out of the bus to sit in the back.


    Okay. Xu Baohan pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a doting smile.


    An Lan felt that she wouldnt be able to clear her name no matter what she said.


    Have you had breakfast? Xu Baohan took out a small bag from therge bag at his feet. He took out a cake, a bottle of milk, and even a boiled egg.


    Although An Lan had grabbed a bite at home, she still took it politely seeing that he had brought so much food.


    Yan Wen continued to gossip with her colleague.


    Well, when I called Ms. An this morning, she said she was having breakfast.


    Her colleague replied, But this breakfast that Chief Judge Xu has brought for her especially. Ms. An doesnt want him to feel bad. What a romantic couple.


    An Lan almost spat out a mouthful of milk. Xu Baohan turned to look at her with a smile.


    An Lan couldnt take it anymore. She turned to Yan Wen and said, Yan Wen, didnt I tell you to sit in thest row? Youre so noisy.


    Yan Wens expression froze. Ms. An, did you hear everything?


    Ms. An chuckled. The next time you whisper, try to lower your voice.


    Yan Wen and her colleagues faces turned red as they hurriedly moved to the back.


    Seeing that the two of them had finally left, An Lan coughed and braced herself to say to Xu Baohan, Dont believe their nonsense. This is a beautiful misunderstanding.


    An Lan, if youve had breakfast, just eat this boiled egg. I cooked it at home. Xu Baohan lowered his head and peeled the egg before passing it to her. Dont stuff yourself for my sake. Ill feel bad if you get a stomachache.

 Chapter 1833. How Long Are You Going to Hold My Hand?

    Chapter 1833. How Long Are You Going to Hold My Hand?


    Under his gaze, the body heat generated from climbing the mountain which had subsided got the better of An Lan once again.


    Um have you attended some coursestely? You coulde out with such sweet words. An Lan teased him.


    Im telling the truth, Xu Baohan replied softly.


    Her scalp tingled hearing this.


    Her chest was tickled as if there were ten thousand ants crawling around.


    Big brother, big sister, could you please step aside? We would like to take a photo, a youngdy holding her phone said politely to them.


    Both of them then only realized that they had been standing at the cliff edge for quite some time now which had blocked others from taking photos.


    Sorry, Xu Baohan immediately pulled An Lan aside.


    From this small detail, An Lan instantly realized that their hands had been held together tightly. She bent her head to take a look. He sped her hands just like an ordinary couple. Hisrge palm wrapping around hers.


    This form of intimacy made An Lan flushed and her heart raced.


    When they were climbing the mountain, she did not feel anything when he held her tightly. However, it was weird that he still held her hand although she was not required to be helped now.


    It was as though he had be her boyfriend.


    An Lan couldnt help staring at the man in front of her who was looking around. His nose bridge was as straight as the peak of a mountain. He looked radiant today and wasnt as cold and somber as he was in court.


    Did she have ill feelings towards him?


    She used to dislike him, but this man was too outstanding in every respect. How one could dislike him once he became gentle.


    At this moment, Xu Baohans gaze turned to her unexpectedly. An Lan was startled. She subconsciously raised her hand. May I ask how long are you going to hold my hand?


    Xu Baohan remained calm. Forever.


    An Lans heart palpitated I remember that you used to wish me to remain single until the end of time.


    Xu Baohan smiled. You were the one who had started to wish me to remain single until the end of time. That would be too remote. Therefore, I could only look for the person who had cast a spell on me to help me bidding farewell to my bachelorhood.


    An Lan was speechless, but she found itical when she recalled that in the past, both of them used to cut each others throats.


    Xu Baohan looked at their hands which were held together. His gaze deepened and he spoke softly, An Lan, if it is possible, I would like to hold your hand for the rest of my life in the same way as what I did when we were climbing the mountain. I dont understand why, but I feel that youre the woman that I will cherish and be with together.


    After he finished speaking, he released her hand gently. An Lan listened to his words under his gaze. The moment her hand was released, she felt that her throat was being squeezed as though by an invisible force. It was a little bitter and throbbing.


    Cherish and be with together


    It was not that she did not want to be with such a person, especially for her who was from the legal profession. The pressure she faced was much greater than the other ordinary girls. asionally, she also wanted to find a person whom she could confide in. The person was not necessary be able to share her pain in life but could at least read her feelings.


    Could Xu Baohan be the man?


    Ms An, Chief Judge Xu, Ive finally managed to find both of you. Thats Great! All of a sudden, Li Yuchens voice was hearding from below the steps, panting heavily. He was leading arge team but he was in such a sorry state that he was practically crawling on the steps.


    An Lan looked at him and was speechless. If she wasnt taken care by Xu Baohan, she would probably ended up like him.


    It was pathetic.


    The rest of the colleagues from thew firm gradually climbed up one after another. All of them sat on the ground at once panting without taking care of their image. Yan Wens makeup was sliding off. She looked enviously at An Lans neat and tidy appearance, Ms An, Chief Judge Xu truly has a lot of strength. He carried you and walked past us with vigorous strides. Whoa, why dont I have such a boyfriend?

 Chapter 1834. I Rely on My Physical Strength and Talent to Earn a Living

    Chapter 1834. I Rely on My Physical Strength and Talent to Earn a Living


    Another female colleague also eximed, I do have a boyfriend, but he is even weaker than I am. I would have to pull him on the way.


    An Lan:


    She wanted to notify them that Xu Baohan was not her boyfriend.


    She was on the verge of saying it out but she decided not to.


    While everyone was resting, Xu Baohan approached her and said coolly, Those in yourw firm arecking in physical training. Its alright for female staff, but all the men have poor stamina. Are they embroidered pillows, persons who are good only in look but of little worth? Look at me, although Im good looking, I still rely on my physical strength and talent to earn a living.


    He seldom boasted himself as such.


    An Lans lips twitched for a moment. She sensed that something was not right. After pondering it, she raised her head and asked, Do you think that the men in ourw firm are only good looking but of little worth?


    Xu Baohan thought for a short while and decided to share his thoughts when he entered thew firm on the first asion. An Lan, the staff of yourw firm are rtively young. If you were topare them with the staff of otherw firms in terms of facial attractiveness, yourw firm would definitely win.


    An Lan now understood what he meant. I suppose you are of the opinion that the staff of ourw firm are ipetent. Am I right? It seems to you that we are recruiting staff based on whether the person is young and good looking.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips. That was all he could do to alert her. If he wasnt pursing her, he would have spoken it out mercilessly. Nevertheless, since he was courting her and he had to deal with her colleagues, he would have to show some respect to them.


    Let me tell you, Xu Baohan. Although my subordinates are young, but they are courageous and dared to face challenges. These are what ourw firm requires. It is true that they may not be that smart and tactful, but those tactfulwyers are all experiencedwyers who have been in the industry for decades. They wont listen to us due to their seniority and they are fond of dictating others. If it is beneficial to them, they will pounce on it to reap the rewards, but if it is of their disadvantage, they will not want to get involved in it. They are those who have mastered the skill of staying out of trouble.


    An Lans small chests heaving. Youre a judge and youre not awyer. You are also not a shareholder of the firm. You dont understand our firm.


    Xu Baohans eyes shed. He was a little startled. Actually, it was true that he didnt quite understand it. Probably It is because what I noticed is that your firm always loses.


    Isnt that because of you. An Lan red at him and responded grumpily.


    Me? Xu Baohan frowned. An Lan, I am impartial in court. Its because there was insufficient evidence presented by yourwyers.


    An Lan rolled her eyes, Its because of you. Its you who is at odds with ourw firm. Each and every time when the cases handled by ourw firm were heard by you, there would always be unexpected issues that would catch us off guard. I, as ourw firms acewyer, also lost when I was in court earlier on. Please, you dont realize who I was previously. I was always sessful and seldom lost a single case. You are our nemesis.


    Xu Baohan was speechless. As a scrupulous legal professional, he did not believe in such things. An Lan, all of you are too superstitious.


    An Lan:


    Xu Baohan continued and said frankly, All of these are merely coincidence. Dont put the me on me by justifying that I am at odds with your firm. As a legal professional, we are supposed to be atheists.


    An Lan smiled and pointed at the incense he was holding. Since youre an atheist, why are youing all the way here to pray for a good marriage and pray for offspring?


    Xu Baohan was stunned. He hurried cleared his throat. Youre right, I am truly at odds with your firm. Therefore, you should take me in to ensure that yourw firm will win in court. In this manner, we will not face each other in the same court.

 Chapter 1835. Don’t Bully Me although I’m Just a Judge

    Chapter 1835. Don��t Bully Me although I��m Just a Judge


    An Lan:


    Who was the one who had said with certainty a moment ago that those who worked in the legal profession are supposed to be atheists.


    Why was it that in the blink of an eye, they truly became at odds with each other?


    Do you have no sense of shame? An Lan couldnt refrain from asking from the bottom of her heart.


    Xu Baohan did not reply but instead asking with a smile, Do you want us to be in the same court?


    An Lan choked at once. Honestly, she didnt want to be in the same court with him.


    Actually, its at my wish. Xu Baohan shrugged coolly. I would like to see you in court, especially when you lost a case and would have to put on a brave face


    Forget it. An Lan red at him grumpily. Let me bring you to pray for your good marriage.


    Thank you.


    Xu Baohan smiled and followed her unhurriedly.


    The whole party walked into the temple and each of them worshipped the Buddha. An Lan kowtowed three times and made a wish before getting up. Xu Baohan who had made a wish and stood behind her, asking. What did you wish for?


    The same as what you wished for when you just arrived. I wish for wealth and wellbeing, An Lan replied as she was walking, appreciating the scenery in the temple.


    That was not true. Xu Baohan followed beside herposedly. I believe what you were praying for was for your younger sister to recover as soon as possible, to mend her ways and to turn over a new leaf.


    An Lans froze in her tracks as she turned to look at him resignedly. He was so smart that asionally it was annoying.


    Xu Baohan smiled calmly. An Lan, I could guess it correctly because I understand you. You are a good sister and a good daughter. The others could not guess it correctly because they did not understand you.


    An Lan was speechless. Initially, she was a little unhappy that he was able to guess it correctly what was on her mind, but when she heard him spoke it out, she felt a thread of warmth flew into her heart.


    He truly understood her.


    This was the first time she met a man who genuinely understood her.


    There was nothing wrong with it.


    After everyone had finished worshipping, they started to take photos on the mountain. An Lan, Ma Shuanghua and the rest of them got together to take photos. Xu Baohan was not familiar with them, so he stood aside and watched quietly.


    When the staff of thew firm were taking group photos, Xu Baohan took the initiative to be their photographer.


    After they had taken the photos, Li Yuchen suggested, Ms An, do you want to take a photo with Chief Judge Xu? Ill take it for both of you.


    Before An Lan could reply, Xu Baohan had handed his phone to Li Yuchen. Thank you.


    He walked straight to An Lan and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.


    Li Yuchen took a few photos and handed them to Xu Baohan. Xu Baohan appreciated the photos for a moment before forwarding them to An Lan. An Lan opened the photos and saw that in the background of the sky-blue mountain fog, there was a contrast between them. She looked fair and he looked darker. The corners of his eyes were filled with a faint smile and her lips were slightly curved. They looked like a perfect couple.


    Look. Xu Baohan clicked on his phone and his lock screen changed to the photo that both of them had just taken.


    YouAn Lan blushed. Without the consent of the licensor, this is considered as a copyright infringement.


    It was taken with my phone and I was also in the photo. How could it be considered as a copyright infringement? Furthermore, I didnt use it in public. It was only stored on my own phone. Xu Baohan curled his thin lips. Ms An, dont bully me although Im just a judge.


    An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry. Who dare to bully him since he is a judge.


    ..


    At 2 pm, they were having lunch at a farm on the mountain.


    After they had taken their lunch, they were prepared to make their way down the mountain. They took the cable car and there was a lot of people, bustling with activities.


    After lining up to board the cable car, Xu Baohan brought An Lan straight to a corner of the cable car. Before long, the cable car was fully packed. Xu Baohan used his body to protect An Lan from being squeezed by others. Being protected, An Lan was veryfortable.

 Chapter 1836. Thousand Types of Loving Feelings, There Is No Better Time Than Now

    Chapter 1836. Thousand Types of Loving Feelings, There Is No Better Time Than Now


    However, Xu Baohan was being squeezed by a crowd of people behind him. Among them, there was a girl in her twenties whose entire face was practically pressed against his back.


    As an outsider, at first nce, it seemed to An Lan that as though they were a couple.


    An Lan felt a little ufortable. She looked up at him and said , Do you want to move in a little?


    Ill will pressed against you. Xu Baohan ced his hands on the ss window. His voice was clear and maic.


    It wont.


    Xu Baohans lips curved slightly and he moved closer to her.


    An Lans face was pressed against his chest. After climbing the mountain for more than half a day, there was a light scent of sweat coupled with an aura of maturity and elegance on his body. It couldnt help making ones heart throbbing and the entire body feeling warm.


    Xu Baohan also lowered his head to look at the petite woman in his arms. At this moment, she was like a baby quail.


    However, he was continued to be pushed from behind. He turned around and saw a woman at his back. He frowned and told her. Lady, I have no connection with you. Please keep your distance.


    His unfriendly warning toned directed at once the crowd to gaze at the woman in her twenties. The woman blushed. She had initially intended to move closer to Xu Baohan since he was handsome and possibly he would be attracted to her. However, she did not expect him to be so ruthless. She could only reply in embarrassment, I would like to, but its too crowded.


    I dont care how crowded it is, but please dont press your face against my back, Xu Baohan said impolitely.


    The crowd hissed and they gave her a peculiar look.


    An Lan looked at the womans fuming expression. For some reason, she felt that she was in a better mood now.


    When they reached their destination, the woman couldnt stand being the center of attention and left quickly.


    An Lan teased, You dont look like you are quite attractive to females.


    She is only interested in appearance. Xu Baohan said disapprovingly.


    Dont say that. This is a world that a persons value depends a lot on the appearance, An Lan looked at him and sighed, Appearance is truly important.


    Xu Baohan gave her a weird look and asked, You also like a person with good appearance, dont you? Who do you think is better looking, Nian Junting or me?


    Was he going to start the rhythm of jealousy once again?


    Whos better? Xu Baohan continued to press closer against her with his burning chest.


    An Lan was on the verge of breaking down. Why a man could be so narrow-minded. You are better. You are better.


    Xu Baohan was finally satisfied. Do you like me or Nian Junting more?


    An Lan really wanted to bite her tongue. How she could answer such a question. Is itparable? Hes a married man and I dont like him anymore. Can you stop taking about him?


    Then it means that you like me more. Xu Baohan nodded in satisfaction. I wont dwell on it further.


    An Lan was left speechless.


    Xu Baohan went to the washroom when they reached the foot of the mountain. An Lan got into the car with a tired face. Climbing the mountain was too exhausting. She just wanted to reach home as soon as possible.


    Li Yuchen got on the car and said with a smile, While we were at the mountain, I had drawn a divination stick praying for a good marriage for both of you. Ms An, you have got the best draw.


    An Lan almost choked while drinking mineral water. Finally, she managed to catch her breath and asked feebly, Master Li, why did you draw a divination stick for me?


    Li Yuchen chuckled, The progress of your rtionship with Chief Judge Xu will determine whether the business of ourw firm will thrive. That is my concern. Look, this is the best draw.


    He passed the divination stick to her and An Lan opened it up resignedly. It read: Thousand types of loving feelings, there is no better time than now.


    She was slightly puzzled. Who had these thousand types of loving feelings?


    She or Xu Baohan?

 Chapter 1837. Why Was She Lying in Xu Baohan’s Embrace?

    Chapter 1837. Why Was She Lying in Xu Baohan��s Embrace?


    An Lan considered it for a while. She was certain that she was not the one who was being flirtatious.


    The way Xu Baohan was acting was simply too flirtatious.


    Lawyer An, cherish your fate, Ma Shuanghua said with a smile.


    An Lan raised her head and sighed. Xu Baohan was right about one thing. The people in herw firm were too superstitious. This was all because of Li Yuchen.


    Not long after, Xu Baohan got into the car with a cup of yogurt in his hand. Didnt you say that you women usually eat yogurt? I just came out from the toilet and saw a shop selling yogurt. This is the most expensive one.


    An Lan took it. Thank you.


    On the way back to Xia City, everyone from the firm was quite tired. They were no longer in the mood to chat. Basically, everyone fell asleep as soon as they got into the car.


    An Lan also fell asleep very quickly, but the chair wasnt veryfortable. At first, her head was leaning against the window, but when the car turned, her head knocked against the window.


    Xu Baohan felt his own head ache when he saw her like that, but he couldnt let An Lan lean against his shoulder either. He was afraid that she would think he was a hoodlum.


    After knocking her head a few times, An Lan stopped leaning against the window and started leaning towards him instead. Xu Baohan pretended to be asleep. An Lans head rested on his shoulder for a moment before she immediately woke up to look at his face. Seeing that he was asleep, she heaved a sigh of relief. His shoulder was quitefortable, much softer than the window.


    She endured her sleepiness and sat up straight. After a while, she couldnt hold back her sleepiness and leaned towards him again. She was too tired, so she thought she would lean on him for a while. After all, he was already asleep. Yet, unexpectedly, she lost consciousness as soon as she leaned on him.


    About five minutester, Xu Baohan opened his eyes and carefully tilted his head to look at the woman leaning against his arm. Her eyes were closed and her eyes were as quiet as a painting. Her long, curly eyshes fluttered, and she no longer had the usual threatening aura.


    Up ahead, the car turned onto the highway. An Lans head swayed on his shoulder. Just as she was about to fall off, Xu Baohan quickly raised his arm, allowing her head to slowly slide along his arm before he pulled her onto his chest.


    His shoulders were alreadyfortable to begin with, but when she rested on his chest, it was extremely warm. An Lan instantly slept even morefortably. Her head rubbed against his chest twice, and her body couldnt help but tilt to the side, sleepingpletely soundly.


    Xu Baohan looked at the woman in his arms, his heart racing.


    He tried his best to keep his chest from rising and fall too much, afraid that it would wake her up.


    Thinking about it carefully, he couldnt remember how long it had been since he had hugged a woman like this.


    He had an ex-girlfriend before, but he hadpletely forgotten about this throbbing feeling. He couldnt even remember if he had ever had this throbbing feeling before.


    Now he finally understood why so many people yearned to get married. If he could wake up every morning with such a delicate woman in his arms, why not?


    An Lan didnt know how long she had slept for, but she slept quitefortably. It was rare for her to sleep sofortably in the car. When she opened her eyes and smelled the familiar scent of a man, she suddenly felt that something wasnt right, especially when she saw with her own eyes that she was lying in a dark embrace.


    Her heart trembled in fear.


    F*ck, why was she lying in Xu Baohans embrace? Xu Baohans hand was still hanging on her shoulder, the two of them were as intimate as a couple.


    She felt as if she was going to die. There were other colleagues in the car.


    She suddenly lifted her head and pushed Xu Baohans arm away to sit up. Xu Baohan seemed to be asleep. However, when she moved, he opened his starry eyes and smiled at her. How does it feel like to sleep with me?

 Chapter 1838. It’s Time for You to Try My Cooking

    Chapter 1838. It��s Time for You to Try My Cooking


    An Lan shivered.


    She was not frightened by the fact that she had just woken up in Xu Baohans arms.


    She was frightened by his words.


    However, she was a tough person. She quickly calmed down and smiled as she smoothed back her hair. Not so good.


    Xu Baohan smiled. No wonder he liked her, she was indeed very special. Whats not good? Ill do better next time.


    An Lan dropped the pretense and rolled her eyes at him. I should be the one asking you. How did it feel to take advantage of me while I was asleep?


    Pretty good, Xu Baohan nodded without hesitation. I hope I can do it for the rest of my life.


    An Lan almost choked. She gritted her teeth and said snappily, Ill be careful and wont give you the chance to take advantage of me.


    Im really innocent. Xu Baohan shook his head and looked at her with a indulgent gaze. You slept so soundly that you you leaned into my arms. Ask them if you dont believe me.


    He nced at Li Yuchen who sat before them. Li Yuchen chuckled and said to his wife Mu Ling, Honey, lets give them a good show.


    Okay, dear. Mu Ling nodded in agreement.


    The couple instantly reyed the scene of An Lan slowly leaning toward Xu Baohan. In the end, Li Yuchen carefully pulled his wife into his arms.


    Enough, An Lans face was burning. Its a pity that you two arent actors.


    Li Yuchen looked aggrieved. We were not acting. We showed you what happened.


    An Lan put her hand on her forehead. Xu Baohan chuckled. Mr. Li, stop it. I didnt ask her to make me an honest man. Im willing to do anything for her and she can dump me at any time if it makes her happy.


    An Lan shivered in disgust. This shameless bastard.


    Li Yuchen was touched. Ms. An, youre really a lucky woman. but dont worry, Chief Judge Xu. Now that Ms. An has already slept with you, I will hold her ountable for it. Ive already taken a photo of you guys hugging each other while sleeping. When the timees, we can present it as evidence in court.


    Thank you, Mr. Li. Please send it to meter. Xu Baohan nodded in approval.


    Li Yuchen was exhrated. From now on, he wouldnt need to worship any gods. He could just sell out Ms. An to make a living.


    An Lans mouth twitched as she stared at him. He actually took a picture of it. It was crazy.


    Not long after, the bus arrived at thew firm.


    They got down. Xu Baohan nced at his watch and found it was 6 pm. An Lan, lets go and grab a bite. Its too much trouble to cook after we get home.


    Its no trouble. Ill just have some noodles after I get home. An Lan stretched. After hiking in the mountain for a whole day, she wanted to go home and lie down in her soft back.


    Fine. Ill cook noodles for you in your ce. Xu Baohan nodded. Im very good at cooking noodles.


    An Lan was stunned. I meant Ill go home and cook the noodles myself.


    You hiked in the mountain for a whole day and are very tired. How could I let you cook? Xu Baohan said considerately, Its time for you to try my cooking. If you dont try it, youll never know what a good family man I am. If you think bringing a man home is dangerous, you can ask Mr. Li to record a video of it. If I touch you tonight, you can sue me. Dont worry, Ill only stay for half an hour. Ill leave after I cook the noodles for you.

 Chapter 1839. I Must Get Myself Used to Being with a RiChapter Lady

    Chapter 1839. I Must Get Myself Used to Being with a RiChapter Lady


    An Lan felt a headacheing on.


    Li Yuchen did added fuel to the fire. Chief Judge Xu, I will remember what you said. Tomorrow morning if we found you stole a kiss from Ms. An, we would not remain silent. We will sue you until your reputation is ruined.


    No problem, Xu Baohan nodded. As a judge, I understand that there are certain things I cant do without her consent, otherwise Ill vite the article 237 of the criminalw.


    Thats right, its good that you are aware of that. Li Yuchen nodded.


    An Lan really wanted to kill Li Yuchen. He was selling her for the sake of thew firm. Alright, alright, lets go to my ce. I admit defeat, guys.


    Lets go then.


    A light shed in Xu Baohans eyes, then he followed her to the parking lot to get her car.


    When they got into the car, Xu Baohan suddenly said, An Lan, do you want me to drive? Youre quite tired today.


    An Lan thought for a second. Driving was boring. Sometimes, she just wanted to have someone drive for her while she satfortably in the front passenger seat.


    My driving skills are very good, Xu Baohan said. It has been three years since I broke the trafficws.


    Really? An Lan was surprised. After all, she lose 30 points a year for viting traffic rules, and she had to ask friends to lend her drivers licenses to cancel the points.


    Xu Baohan nodded. Next time, if you want to cancel points, you can ask me. My license never loses points.


    He seemed to have read her mind.


    An Lan coughed and calmly looked up. Thank you, but I usually dont points either.


    An Lan, you have many good virtues, Xu Baohan praised her generously, Nowadays, there are very few drivers who dont break the rules. If every citizen could follow the traffic rules like you, there wouldnt be so many traffic idents every day.


    of course, An Lan answered guiltily.


    Ill drive. Xu Baohan took the keys from her. Your car is better than mine. I need to get used to the feeling of being with someone rich.


    An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry.


    She let him drive. It was the rush hour and the most congested time of the day. She could y with her phone while he drove.


    On the way, she read news on her phone. There was nock of social news. A coal mine copsed in one province; the CEO of a certain listedpany molested children, etc.


    When she talked about the news with Xu Baohan, he would alwaysment that what some criminalw the suspects hadmitted and how many years theyd get.


    An Lan listened for a while and nced at him with a strange look in her eyes.


    Whats wrong? Was my answer wrong? Xu Baohan noticed her gaze. There are indeed loopholes in thew. We intend to propose a change to the higher-ups.


    Thew cant change overnight. An Lan leaned to him. But you act and talk like the book of criminalw. Arent you angry at all about these cases?


    Ive seen too many of them, Xu Baohan said indifferently.


    An Lan was silent. She had seen too many of them, too.


    An Lan, youre awyer. If you have the chance, you must make people like them receive greater punishment. Xu Baohan gave her a deep look. Lawyers can also fight for justice.

 Chapter 1840. Pretty Boy Xu Baohan

    Chapter 1840. Pretty Boy Xu Baohan


    An LAN looked at him in surprise. You dont seem like the kind of people who would say something like that.


    Once I wanted to be awyer, Xu Baohan suddenly said, It was my parents who wanted me to be a judge. They probably thought that having a judge in the family would bring glory to the Xu family, or they thought that I would be able to help them if I became a judge.


    An Lan could hear a hint of sadness and helplessness in his words. This was the first time Xu Baohan had mentioned his parents in front of her, and it seemed to have given her a new understanding of him. However, you didnt help them.


    Thats right, because they have never understood thew. Xu Baohans thin lips moved coldly.


    An Lan looked at him and said jokingly, Luckily you didnt be awyer, otherwise, I would have one more rival.


    Xu Baohan was surprised and then chuckled.


    Half an hourter, the car drove into An Lans neighborhood.


    When he backed the car into the parking spot, Xu Baohan saw a red Ferrari parked beside it. This is yours?


    An Lan smiled. Do you think what I said before was a joke?


    Xu Baohan shook his head and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. It feels so good to hook up with a rich woman.


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him. For the record, youre not hooked up with me yet, alright?


    Fortunately, Im never troubled by such things. I wont feel inferior orcent to be with with a rich woman, Xu Baohan continued calmly. I have never thought of changing careers.


    Exasperated, An Lan put her on her forehead. Lets go, Pretty Boy.


    She turned around and smiled when she saw Xu Baohans surprise. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, too. Im honored to be called a pretty boy at my old age.


    An Lan,


    She suddenly felt that he had gained the upper hand.


    An LANs apartment was in the middle of the tall building. One of the four bedrooms had been converted into another living room. The decoration was not extravagant, but the ce looked exquisite andfortable. The 70 inch television was veryrge.


    The apartment was tidy, but there were many shoes at the entrance


    An Lan blushed. Before she left the apartment in the morning, she had tried on seven or eight pairs of shoes, causing quite a mess. Im sorry, I have a lot of shoes.


    There are indeed a lot of shoes. Xu Baohan was stunned. There were high heels, cloth shoes, sports shoes and sandals.


    He bent down to pick up the shoes one by one and put them into the shoe cab.


    Dont trouble yourself. Ill clean upter. An Lan was embarrassed to see him clean up her shoes the moment he entered the ce.


    Its no trouble, Xu Baohan said calmly. Ill get used to it.


    An Lan was puzzled.


    He continued, In the future, if you marry me, I will definitely be the one to do all these things. I wont let my wife do it.


    After saying that, he put another pair of high heels into the shoe cab.


    An Lan looked at his bent back, her face burning up, but she was also a little touched. Maybe he just said it to make her happy, but who wouldnt like to hear sweet words? Are you sure you can keep doing it?


    You can try me. I hope you will give me a chance to try for the rest of my life, Xu Baohan raised his head.


    An Lan was amused. Were not dating yet and you are talking about a lifetime. Dont be greedy.


    Xu Baohan stood up and took a step forward, his gaze as dark as the night. I cant help it. The longer I know you, the greedier I get.


    The air suddenly thinned, and An Lan subconsciously moved back, mming into the cab behind her, her entire body tensing up.

 Chapter 1841. You’re Here to Cook Noodles. Why Do You Move So Close to Me?

    Chapter 1841. You��re Here to Cook Noodles. Why Do You Move So Close to Me?


    You What are you doing? An Lan met his deep gaze, her heart thumping wildly.


    Didnt he promise that he wouldnt touch her? She could even sue him if he kissed her.


    Xu Baohan stopped a finger away from her, his lips curling into a meaningful smile. I should be the one asking you the question. Why did you move away from me?


    An Lan was embarrassed, wondering if she had misunderstood his intention.


    You moved too close to me, An Lan said nervously. Im a woman with beauty and wealth. I just dont know what youd do


    She didnt finish her sentence, but he should understand.


    Mr. Li had recorded the video before we set off, so you could sue me if I stole only a kiss from you today. Xu Baohan reached out his hand and tucked the strand of stray hair behind her ear. His tone was gentle as he said, Wheres your kitchen? Ill go cook noodles for you.


    An Lan had been so focused on his gentle and seductive touch of his finger that she was stunned by his sudden change of topic.


    Im here to cook noodles for you, Xu Baohan reminded her.


    An LAN jolted awake and pushed him away, gritting her teeth in embarrassment. Since you know youre here to cook noodles, why did you move so close to me?


    I wanted to tidy your hair, Xu Baohan smiled faintly.


    Thank you so much. An Lan red at him. The kitchen is on the right, the noodles are in the cab above the range hood. The ingredients are in the fridge,


    Okay. Xu Baohan walked into the kitchen.


    Oh right, An Lan called out to him, smiling. If the noodles arent delicious, you dont have toe next time.


    I know that. Xu Baohan walked into the kitchen calmly.


    An Lan entered her bedroom and changed into her home clothes. The kitchen door was open, and Xu Baohan was chopping onions with his sleeves rolled up.


    The warm yellow light fell on his shoulders, giving a halo.


    An Lan stared at him for a while, suddenly feeling a little absent-minded. How long had it been since thest time she invited someone to her home?


    What was married life like? Was this how a couples life like?


    One cooked while the other waited.


    She was lost in her thoughts for a while, then walked into the kitchen and took out a cup from the cupboard. Do you want warm water or hot tea?


    Xu Baohan turned his head and was stunned. The woman behind him had changed into a light purple Japanese-style house dress. The makeup on her face had also been removed, and her skin was clean and clear, like a peeled egg. Her corbone was sexy, and she did not have the aura of a iron woman, instead, she looked quiet and elegant.


    He was lost in his thoughts, and the knife in his hand did not stop until he felt a pain in his finger.


    Your finger An Lan noticed it and went out to get a band-aid. She handed it to him.


    Thank you. Xu Baohan wrapped it around his finger.


    Do you really cook at home? An Lan sighed. You cut your hand while you chopped the green onion.


    Yes. But I dont have such a beautiful woman by my side when I cook at home. Xu Baohan nced at her. I was distracted just now.


    Even An Lan, who was often praised by others, couldnt help blushing. So its my fault.


    No, its because of my inexperience. Xu Baohan shook his head. I acted like a teenager.


    Is there a teenager as old as you are? An Lan looked him up and down, trying not tough.

 Chapter 1842. I Don’t Plan on Being a Guest Forever

    Chapter 1842. I Don��t n on Being a Guest Forever


    Xu Baohan blinked. Im a little old in age, but physically and mentally, Im still young. Do you want to try me?


    An Lan really wanted to pinch his cheek, but this kind of intimate action wasnt suitable for the two of them. Do you want me to kick you out?


    Xu Baohan instantly fell silent. He lowered his head and started to chop the meat, the band-it on his hand especially obvious.


    An Lan took a nce at his finger and averted her gaze. She poured a cup of warm water and ced it on the kitchen counter. She then took out a ss bottle filled with white liquid.


    Do you want some yogurt? She handed him one bottle.


    Xu Baohan took it without hesitation. There was nobel on it. What What brand is this?


    An Lan brand, She answeredzily. I made it myself.


    Xu Baohan blinked. He had wanted to ask her what brand of yogurt she liked, but she had made it herself. How could he buy it? I will definitely try it.


    After she left with her bottle of yogurt, Xu Baohan opened his and tried it. He didnt know how she made it, but it tasted delicious, much better than the yogurt he had had during the day.


    Twenty minutester, he ced two bowls of noodles on the dining table. An Lan walked over and saw vegetables, a medium-rare egg and minced meat over the noodles. It smelt good.


    Try it. Ill improve if you dont like it, Xu Baohan said.


    An Lan nodded and picked up her chopsticks to eat. The home style noodles were indeed delicious with meat and much healthier than eating outside. No wonder he offered to cook noodles in her ce.


    Not bad, she praised generously after tasting it.


    Xu Baohan smiled. Even though he was confident in his noodles cooking skills, he had been a little nervous. Right now, he was actually like a youngd, eager for her praises. When he heard her approval, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    An Lan, if you want to eat noodles in the future, you can call me anytime.


    An Lan put down her chopsticks. Are you sure? Youre a judge, arent you busy?


    Yes, Im busy, but my marriage is more important than work, Xu Baohan replied calmly.


    Eat your noodles, An Lan pouted. Im not a northerner, and I dont like noodles that much. I just eat them asionally.


    Im good at cooking lots of dishes except for noodles. You can try them all, Xu Baohan offered.


    An Lan answered vaguely as she ate.


    Xu Baohan ate quickly. After she finished, he immediately took her empty bowl and washed the dishes as though she was a guest.


    An Lan was stunned. She looked at his back and suddenly felt a little guilty. Ill do the dishes. Youre a guest after all.


    Its okay. After all, I dont n on being a guest for long. Xu Baohan washed the two dishes with sure hands.


    An Lan was speechless at his shameless words. What else could she say?


    After washing the dishes, Xu Baohan washed his hands with soap, wiped them clean, and said, I should leave now. Youre tired today. Have a good night.


    An Lan scratched the back of her head, surprised that hed so soon. Do you want to sit for a while?


    No, I came here to make noodles, Im a man of my word. Xu Baohan walked to the door and turned around, his face solemn. And today is my first timeing to your ce. If I stay too long, you wont feel safe.

 Chapter 1843. An Lan, I Miss You

    Chapter 1843. An Lan, I Miss You


    An LAN was surprised, but when she thought about it, she knew he was right.


    A man who tried to outstay his wee at a womans ce during the first visit was truly unpleasant. Besides, she was really tired today and wanted nothing but lying down on the sofa to watch TV.


    At this moment, she had a better opinion of Xu Baohan, but at the same time, she felt a little guilty. After all, she had asked him to leave after making noodles. Then be careful on the road. And send me a text when you get home.


    Xu Baohan, who was changing his shoes, froze. A few secondster, he stood up straight and turned around. His dark pupils were sparkling.


    An Lan was confused. Whats wrong? Did I say something wrong? Youre so good looking. What if you get robbed and raped?


    Ill be careful. Xu Baohan nodded. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and smiled. An Lan, its been a long time since someone told me to send a message when I got home.


    After he left, An Lan leaned against the door for a while, thinking of his happiness when she asked him to text her after getting home.


    How long had he been alone? However, she understood his feeling. Other people might have their family, if not girlfriends or boyfriends, saying those words to them, but An Lan and Xu Baohans family members wouldnt do that.


    At eight oclock, Xu Baohan sent her a wechat message: Im home..


    An Lan, Good.


    White Horse Is Not Horse, An Lan, I miss you..


    Soaking in the bath, An Lans hand holding the cell phone shook. A momentter, shey lower and put half of her head into the water. She felt hot, really hot.


    Two dayster, Su Run picked up a package for Xu Baohan. When he carried it upstairs, he ced the package in front of Xu Baohan with a strange expression. Chief Judge, you actually bought a yogurt maker?


    He had never seen his boss eating yogurt.


    Yes. Xu Baohan opened the package and found some ferment in it next to the yogurt maker. Not bad. He could make some yogurt the moment he got home.


    Su Run looked at him for a long time and nodded. Indeed, the home-made yogurt is healthier. The yogurt sold in stored has pigments and gtin in it.


    Yeah. Xu Baohan nodded nonchntly. An Lan prefers home-made yogurt. By the way, I wont be working overtime tonight. Im going home to make yoghurt.


    Su Run,


    Were they going out now?


    Xu Baohan started making yoghurt the moment he got home. As it took a long time for the yoghurt to solidify, he couldnt taste his work until midnight. After tasting the yogurt, his face darkened. The taste wasnt right. It didnt taste like An Lans yogurt.


    He experimented for a few days and tried all sorts of fermentation agents. Still, he couldnt make it right. He had no choice but to call An Lan and ask, How did you make your yogurt? Why cant I make it right?


    An Lan scratched her ear, thinking that she was hallucinating.


    You like to eat yogurt, right? Im learning to make your yogurt for you, Xu Baohan exined in a low voice, I tried many times but the taste isnt right. Ive tried several types of yogurt starter, but none of them tastes good without sugar or jam.


    Hearing the disappointment in the mans voice, An Lans heart missed a beat and she felt ttered. She was surprised that hed try so hard to make yogurt for her. Where did you buy the yogurt maker and starter powder?


    Online.


    An Lan said, I bought mine on a business trip in Europe. Its not quite the same as the local kinds.

 Chapter 1844. I Can Not Lose To Someone As Despicable As He Mingqian

    Chapter 1844. I Can Not Lose To Someone As Despicable As He Mingqian


    Xu Baohan,


    How was he supposed to buy something sold in another country?


    An Lan continued to exin, Its Greek yogurt. It doesnt need milk powder or jam, and theres a variety of vors. Most importantly, my yogurt maker is different.


    He had no way of making this kind of yogurt, so Xu Baohan was frustrated. Tell me the brand. Ill get someone to bring it back from abroad.


    An Lan thought about it and advised, If its for me and you dont like it, theres no need to buy it. I can make it myself and the process is quite simple. I appreciate your kindness anyway.


    Xu Baohan rubbed the spot between his brows. Well, after we get married, I can make it for you.


    An Lan snorted in exasperation. I cant talk to you anymore. I have work to do.


    Recently, she had been busy with Wan Qis case. She was about to go to court and there were many things to do. In this case, her opponent was He Mingqian and she couldnt lose to this despicable man.


    On the morning of the 30th, An Lan got into Li Yuchens car and they drove to the court.


    In the car, Li Yuchen hung up on Wan Qi and said to An Lan, Wan Qi has already arrived at the court. I guess today is just a formality. Wu Hefei had managed to transfer the properties long ago. This means that he never nned to share the money with Wan Qi.


    An Lan smiled. He must share it with Wan Qi, or we wont get any ourmission.


    Thats for sure. We have to win, Li Yuchen said with some excitement. If we win, Ill buy a new car. Hehe, anyway, weve already found the evidence of Wu Hefeis marital infidelity.


    An Lan looked at him strangely. Do you think we can win with the evidence of his infidelity?


    We also have some evidence of his transfer of money, Li Yuchen said with a sneer. I know youre worried that He Mingqian will y dirty


    Im not worried. He will definitely y dirty, An Lan said lightly, We found Wu Hefeis lover Song Mingming too easily. This might be a trap set up by He Mingqian. Have you ever thought this possibility? If He Mingqian says in court that we fabricated evidence to win, what will the judge think of us? We will definitely lose.


    Li Yuchen was stunned. It cant be. Song Mingming is the stockholder of Wu Hefeis overseaspanies. Furthermore, she has worked for Wu Hefei for ten years. Who else could it be but her?


    You cant think like an ordinary person when your opponent is He Mingqian.An Lan crossed her arms, Furthermore, Ive investigated Song Mingming. Its said that shes a very typical strong woman. A man like Wu Hefei wouldnt like such a woman.


    The more Li Yuchen listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. Does this mean that we have no chance of winning the case?


    You cant say that. An Lan smiled. We will tell He Mingqian that we have found evidence of Wu Hefeis infidelity, making them think that we have walked into the trap. When the timees, they will give themselves away.


    Good, very good. Li Yuchen gave her a thumbs up.


    I cant lose to a person as despicable as He Mingqian. An Lan was expressionless as she said these words.


    After arriving at the court, the two of them met up with Wan Qi and walked to the mediation room together.


    At the door, they saw Wu Hefei were chatting andughing with He Mingqian.

 Chapter 1845. He Mingqian, the One Competing with You this Time is Me

    Chapter 1845. He Mingqian, the One Competing with You this Time is Me


    He Mingqian was dressed in a ck suit and wore sses. He looked like an elegant gentleman.


    An Lan clicked her tongue silently. Back then, she had been deceived by his appearance.


    Now that she recalled it, she had the urge to dig out her own eyes.


    Lan, long time no see. Youre as elegant as before. When He Mingqian saw her, he walked over with a smile in his eyes and extended his hand towards her.


    An Lan nced at his hand and didnt shake it. She felt disgusted.


    Li Yuchen stepped forward and shook He Mingqians hand. He Mingqian, Im your opponent this time.


    Thats true. He Mingqian smiled. Last time, Lan, you lost so badly. Im sure there are only some small cases for you. But dont be discouraged. Keep up the good work. I believe you wont have to be someone elses assistantwyer soon.


    An Lan put on a fake smile. What a sinister person. He said these words in front of her client so that Wan Qi would lose confidence in them.


    He Mingqian, dont be smug, An Lan sneered, We came prepared. I advise you guys give Ms. Wan the money she deserves. Dont hide it. If you continue doing it, Mr. Wu will be disgraced. After all, Mr. Wu is a well-known figure.


    Wu Hefei looked at Wan Qi with a smile, Wan Qi, I dont know where you found such awyer. To be honest, I admire your courage. A while ago, Yangs case was a hot topic and you still dare to hire theirw firm. I advise you to sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible. I only have so much money. You have been a housewife and dont know how difficult it is to do business now.


    Bullsh*t! Wan Qi red at him fiercely. Wu Hefei, I was really blind to marry you back then. Dont be so smug. Do you think I dont know anything about you and Song Mingming? Let me tell you, we have all the evidence we need. Dont be too selfish. You wouldnt have what you have without me.


    I dont know what youre talking about. Song Mingming is just my assistant. Wu Hefeis expression changed. I divorce you because cant stand your personality.


    Nonsense, you


    Ms, Wan An Lan interrupted her and pulled Wan Qi behind her. Dont waste your breath on them outside. We can talk about itter in the mediation room. If we cante to an agreement with them, we can only go to court.


    Just then, the door of the mediation room opened. An Lan walked Wan Qi into the room.


    The judge, Lu Zhen, sat in the middle. Her gaze lingered on An Lan for a few seconds. She had heard that An Lan was going out with the Chief Judge. However, she quickly put those gossips out of her mind. No matter what, they were in court and thew was the onlynguage in the court.


    After Lu Zhen heard the case, she advised them to negotiate a divorce amicably. After all, they had children and it didnt look good to go to court.


    Wu Hefei and He Mingqian discussed in a low voice for a while and then said, Judge Lu, youre right. Although were going to get a divorce, our family ties are still there. Considering that weve been married for years, Im willing to give her four million from my share. Ill pay for the child support. Thats all I can give her.


    Wan Qi sneered. Four million yuan? Are you taking me a beggar? Thepany has been listed for so long, and its annual ie is more than four million yuan.


    Ms. Wan, youre being unreasonable, He Mmingqian said lightly. Thepanys statements show clearly how much ie it has each year. All the money is split 50-50. Youre asking for too much.

 Chapter 1846. Xu Baohan Wouldn’t Believe He Mingqian’s words, Would He?

    Chapter 1846. Xu Baohan Wouldn��t Believe He Mingqian��s words, Would He?


    Since we cant reach an agreement, Ill see you in court, Wan Qi said coldly.


    Wu Hefei sighed and looked at her with a bitter smile. Wan Qi, be reasonable. Dont be deceived by them. They just want more money, thats why theyre setting us against each other.


    An Lan and Li Yuchen knew who he was talking about.


    Li Yuchen rolled his eyes at Wu Hefei. Thats nonsense. Aswyers, we definitely want to make as much money as possible. However, youre so generous to your lover but so stingy to your wife. Mr. Wu, where is your conscience?


    Lover? When did I have a lover? This is a false usation. Wu Hefeis eyes shed with a trace of nervousness.


    Whatever. I dont think we cane to an agreement today, An Lan said as she looked at Lu Zhen.


    Lu Zhen rubbed the spot between her eyebrows. In that case, your case will be handed over to the court. If there is a need, you can apply for a settlement before the hearing.


    An Lan, Li Yuchen, and Wan Qi walked out of the room.


    He Mingqian and Wu Hefei followed. Wu Hefei said in a voice that could be heard by the people walking in front of him, Mr. He, are you confident that well win?


    Dont worry. Zhenyuanswyers may look arrogant, but they dont have any real skills, He Mingqian said with a faint smile, If it werent for the friendship between An LAN and Nian Junting of Shengting, they couldnt have been able to survive. Shes a woman and she got what she has with her skills in bed.


    Wu Hefeis mouth opened wide. No way.


    Haha, you can tell just by looking at her face. Women like her are the best at keeping menpany, He Mingqian said lightly. She tried to seduce me, but I rejected her.


    Wan Qi, who was walking in front of them, gave An Lan a strange look. An Lan paused her steps and was about to turn around when she suddenly heard an extremely cold and dangerous male voice from behind.


    Are you sure she seduced you, a man like you?


    He Mingqian was talking animatedly when the voice caught him by surprise. He turned around and saw Xu Baohan standing behind him with his assistant. His cold face was expressionless, but his deep eyes were surging with emotions.


    He stared at He Mingqian. With that face, the guy actually had the nerve to say that An Lan had seduced him.


    Why some men so shameless these days?


    Xu Baohan didnt like to beat people up. He was a man of thew, but he really wanted to beat He Mingquan up today.


    But they were in the court, so he couldnt beat up the guy.


    Chief Chief Judge Xu, He Mingqian recognized him and felt a strange chill in his heart. He had seen Xu Baohan in court a few times before, but he had never offended him, so why was he staring at him with such a terrifying gaze?


    I asked you a question, Xu Baohan said gloomily. Are you sure what you said just now is true?


    He Mingqian felt his hair stand on end under Xu Baohans stare. He couldnt understand why Xu Baohan asked this question. Could it be that An Lan caught Xu Baohans eye? He didnt believe it. Thats right, she was the one who seduced me. If it wasnt for her dirty tricks, how could she have gotten a BMW at such a young age?


    An Lan snapped back to her senses and caught a glimpse of He Mingqians face when he said those words. She also saw Xu Baohan.


    Her heart skipped a beat. Xu Baohan wouldnt believe He Mingqians words, would he?


    She had never seen someone as shameless as He Mingqian in her entire life. She had dumped him, so he kept spreading the lie that she got what she had by sleeping with men.


    She was really angry today.


    Hed think he could bully her however he wanted if she didnt teach him a lesson.

 Chapter 1847. Chief Judge Xu, Why Are You So Agitated?

    Chapter 1847. Chief Judge Xu, Why Are You So Agitated?


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows slightly.


    Very good, He Mingquan only knew that she had a BMW and didnt know that she also had a Ferrari. The guy only knew so much about An Lan.


    So whenever you see a beautiful young woman drive a BMW, you think that she has hooked up with a man, huh? An Lan strode back angrily and sneered, He Mingqian, your thoughts are really filthy. You made this up just because you cant make as much money as I do. You even said that I seduced you. But look at your hypocritical face, I want to vomit just by looking at it.


    Li Yuchen also walked over and yelled in anger, Thats right. Youre a disgrace to men. Back then, it was you who pursued An Lan. Every day, you shamelessly came to ourw firm to beg her to go out with you. After she dumped you, you spread the lie that she pursued you. Bah, youre too shameless to be called a man.


    He Mingqians expression changed, but he was so cheeky that he even smiled. Dont be so agitated, An Lan, I didnt know youre the type of woman who sleeps around, but after dating you for a short while, I found out that you slept around with other men behind my back. I felt very humiliated


    Before he could finish, Xu Baohan dragged him over and said with chilly eyes, Mr. He, I recorded everything you said just now. Youre also awyer, so you should know what crime youmitted just now?


    He Mingqian was stunned. He struggled to free himself, but he couldnt. He forced out a smile. Chief Judge Xu, why are you so agitated? Dont tell me youre also attracted to a woman like An Lan


    Xu Baohan cut him off coldly, Intentionally fabricating and spreading lies to degrade another persons reputation is considered nder if the consequences are serious. The punishment is up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment and deprivation of political rights.


    He Mingqians face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, Chief Judge Xu, are you using your status as the chief judge to bully me? Im just awyer, but I will not let you bully me. This is a legal society, everything can be made public online.


    This was a tant threat.


    An Lan clenched her fists. She had never hated He Mingqian so much. She felt like vomiting just by looking at him, Sure, then you can make it public on the inte. He Mingqian, I can also sue you for spreading lies in the court today and in the legal circle. Your lies have caused a serious impact on my reputation and life


    If you want to use public opinion on the Inte to attack me, I am not afraid. I have gone through it before. However, when you lose the case, you wont just be guilty of nder; youll also be guilty of ndering a judicial officer.


    Li Yuchen chuckled. As to whether you pursued An Lan or An Lan pursued you, there are a lot of witnesses for that.


    An Lan added, There are also physical evidence including the love letters you gave me and your text messages. Oh right, I have the recording of the insulting words that you said when I broke up with you. Ive always kept it.


    He Mingqian could no longer remain calm. The corners of his mouth twitched. An Lan, were about to go to court. Are you ying this dirty trick to distract me since you know that you cant win?

 Chapter 1848. I wasn’t Around in the Past, But Today, I won’t Give Up

    Chapter 1848. I wasn��t Around in the Past, But Today, I won��t Give Up


    An Lan scoffed, Whos the culprit? Ill decide things on my own. The moment you left the house you said that I seduced and slept with you to get to where I am today. Why did you say such things in front of my client? I cant even eat because of how disgusting your words are. I wont put up with a scum like you anymore.


    Youre really the most immoralwyer Ive ever met. Xu Baohan lowered his gaze coldly. With your looks, why would An Lan pursue you? Are you evenparable to me? Im pursuing her and shes still considering me. Do you think youreparable to me?


    This was the first time Xu Baohan had spoken about pursuing An Lan in front of everyone in the courtroom. This caused an uproar and the people who were watching themotion immediately started discussing.


    Are you kidding me? Chief Judge Xu likes Ms An?


    You just found out. Everyone in the courtroom knows this. We even saw Ms An and Chief Judge Xu go out for a meal together.


    I heard they went hiking togetherst week.


    Chief Judge Xus looks are far better than He Mingqians.


    The more they discussed, the more embarrassed He Mingqian became. His eyes were bloodshot. Whenever he encountered embarrassing situations like this, it had been An Lan who had brought it upon him. He would never let her get away with it.


    An Lan was a little embarrassed. She hadnt expected Xu Baohan to admit to pursuing her under such circumstances. In fact, this could negatively affect him if he failed to control the situation.


    Xu Baohan didnt look at her. Instead, he continued staring at He Mingqian.


    Youve insulted and defamed the person I like. An Lan doesnt need to sue you. Ill sue you myself  be prepared for awyers letter at home.


    He Mingqian began to really panic, Chief Judge Xu, you dont know An Lan at all. Dont be fooled by her, shes not a good woman. She has slept with Nian Junting amongst other men and Ive slept with her too. Why would someone like you chase after someone like that who has been ridden by everyone?


    Watch your mouth, Xu Baohan couldnt take it anymore and pushed He Mingqian against the wall.


    He Mingqian yelled, The judge is bullying me, thewyer is being bullied, theres now!


    Xu Baohan smiled darkly and remained unfazed, Incidentally, Nian Junting and I have known each other for many years. Ill send him what you said just now.


    He Mingqians face turned pale in an instant, Thats impossible.


    An Lan stood at the side and sneered, Baohan and Nian Junting have been ssmates for many years. He Mingqian, dont me others for your own demise. Nian and his wife are very close. Youre trying to ruin their rtionship and tarnish Nians reputation now.


    Xu Baohan let go of He Mingqian, took a step back and stood beside An Lan. He then looked at He Mingqian and said, I couldnt be here in the past but since Im here now, I will not give up.


    Although Xu Baohan didnt say much, each word he said was ominous and frightening.


    Wu Hefei didnt want to stay in the room any longer. Furthermore, he felt that it might have been the wrong decision to approach He Mingqian for thewsuit. Thewsuit hadnt even started and He Mingqian had already opposed and provoked others.


    Alright, I still have something to do back at the office. Mr He, you should leave too. Wu Hefei, with his long legs, stood up and walked forward inrge strides.


    Mr. Wu, wait a moment, I still have something to tell you, He Mingqian followed hurriedly.


    He Mingqian, everything Ive said is true, Xu Baohan, who was behind him, said coldly.


    He Mingqians body stiffened. He didnt dare stay any longer and his thoughts were already swirling in his mind like a storm.


    Su Run looked at He Mingqians back sympathetically. Whenever his boss was serious about the situation, the consequences were indeed very grave.


    However, this He Mingqian was really shameless.

 Chapter 1849. This Is What I Should Do Since You Are The Woman I Like

    Chapter 1849. This Is What I Should Do Since You Are The Woman I Like


    You want to run away since you cant win the argument? Li Yuchen spat bitterly at their backs. If I dont beat both of you in theingwsuit, my surname wouldnt be Li.


    An Lan was also furious today, but after she calmed down and looked at Xu Baohan, she was touched. He Mingqian had said such things, and he had stood by her side at the first moment. This trust was hard toe by.


    Baohan, thank you for what you had done today.


    This was the first time she called him Baohan.


    All of a sudden, Xu Baohan realized that his name was quite pleasant to hear, especially so when it came out from her mouth. This is what I should do since you are the woman I like.


    He turned around and stared straight into her eyes as he spoke it out.


    Su Run, Li Yuchen and some other colleagues were standing around him. An Lan flushed with his sudden confession, but she didnt feel upset at all. For a man to confess in front of his colleagues, it meant that firstly, he genuinely liked her, and secondly, this had given her the confidence after being humiliated by He Mingqian.


    Su Run, in particr, gasped in astonishment.


    He was astonished looking at what his leader had just said. Was he the same leader who used to be reticent? It was as if he had been possessed by some weird creatures.


    Li Yuchen gave Xu Baohan a thumbs up. Chief Judge Xu, youre so manly. You are much more better than He Mingqian who is such a scumbag.


    Is heparable to me? Xu Baohans handsome face darkened when that name was being mentioned, An Lan, I thought that your ex-boyfriend was just a person with a bad character, I didnt expect him to be such a scumbag. This isnt just an issue of character, theres also an issue with his personality. Hespletely twisted. Any man on the street is better than him.


    An Lan lowered her head in embarrassment. Although she was reluctant to ept it, she had to admit that there was a great sense of reasons in what he said, On this asion, I wouldnt let him off. Ill sue him personally


    Not required to. Ill handle this, Xu Baohan said calmly. He insulted the woman I like. In other words, he insulted me. I told you that Ill issue him a legal letter. I definitely will.


    A Chief Judge issuing a legal letter to awyer


    An Lan was touched, but she couldnt help feeling anxious. This your position isnt quite suitable.


    There is no provision that a judge couldnt be involved in awsuit. Judges are human beings too. Xu Baohan stared at her with his insightful eyes. Judges also have emotions and desires.


    An Lan was left red-faced under his feverish gaze that she wanted to crawl into a hole and never came out. What did being a judge have to do with emotions and desires? it wasnt that they were referring to monks.


    Baohan, I understand your intentions, but it would be better if I do it myself. Mr Li could represent me.


    He Xu Baohan nced at Li Yuchen. What if he loses?


    Li Yuchen felt as though he had been shot by an arrow. After all, he was also a well-knownwyer. He wanted to cry being underestimated.


    An Lan also looked at him sympathetically. Actually, Mr Li, he


    I will look for Song Ruixue to represent me, Xu Baohan interrupted her.


    Song Song Ruixue?


    Li Yuchen stammered and An Lan was also shocked. Song Ruixue is such a prominent figure. On the previous asion, he had participated in the 70th anniversary celebration of the University of Law and Politics which he had graduated from. He was currently the eminent authority in the legal profession. He was now 60 years old and he had not lost a singlewsuit for thest 20 years. He had also rejected an offer of 300 million from a rich and powerful family for him to make ae back. Now, Xu Baohan was looking for him to go to court for such a minor defamation case ?

 Chapter 1850. You, are not Someone He can Afford to Offend

    Chapter 1850. You, are not Someone He can Afford to Offend


    Er um.. Baohan, if youre notpletely awake, you should go back and take a rest. An Lan felt that he might not have fully awake. Anyway, I understand your intention very well.


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. You think that I couldnt make it?


    An Lan was in silent.


    Could this be done looking at the failed attempt of the rich and powerful family in offering him 300 million to make aeback?


    Song Ruixue used to be my mentor and I was his student, Xu Baohan said coolly. We have a close rtionship.


    An Lan was amazed and half opened her red lips.


    As awyer, who wouldnt want to be such an eminent person like Song Ruixue? He was a legend and her idol.


    She got to know that now, Xu Baohan turned out to be her idols student.


    It was truly enviable.


    Li Yuchen was also gasped in astonishment. This was unconscionable. Not only he was handsome, even his mentor was awesome. I really didnt expect it. However, even if you were his student, it shouldnt be that easy to request him to help you in this case.


    I can, Xu Baohan replied calmly and confidently, as though he was saying that the weather was fine today.


    An Lans lips twitched. Even if he agrees, it is not necessary for Mr Song to go to court tor such a minor case. It is not a challenging case. I still manage to find a lot of witnesses to prove that He Mingqian discredited me.


    I want to ensure that I have a 100% chance of winning and absolutely no chance of losing it, Xu Baohan thought otherwise. In addition, if we win, it will act as a deterrent to let him know that, you, are not someone he can afford to offend.


    An Lans heart trembled viciously. For some inexplicable reason, she felt that as though she had been elevated to the status of an Empress.


    However, she could imagine that to invite a legend of the legal profession to engage in a minorwsuit would definitely cause a sensation. If He Mingqian lost, not only he would be penalized by having to pay a hugepensation, he would most probably be too ashamed to continue to be awyer. After this incident, nobody would dare to offend her simply because they couldnt afford to. Needless to say, it was most likely that none of them in this circle would dare to pursue her because the rival in love was too powerful.


    Dont worry.


    Xu Baohan noticed that An Lan did not utter a word. He reached out to pat her head. With me around, I will not let anyone hurting you with no reason.


    Thank you. An Lan lowered her head slightly and took a deep breath. What He Mingqian had done hurt her deeply. With the appearance of Xu Baohan, she felt pretty good being protected. It turned out that it wasnt necessary she always had to stand up for herself if she had someone she liked by her side.


    Dont mention it. It is not required between us. Xu Baohans eyes softened. By the way, are youing to the court today to handle cases? Whats the oue?


    Its not settled. After this, it might go directly to the court, An Lan replied with a smile. Why are you here?


    I understand that you would being to the court today, so I came to see you, Xu Baohan spoke frankly as he looked at her.


    There were still a lot of people around. Once again, An Lan was in a state of embarrassment. She couldnt help feeling being looked on like an animal, therefore she coughed lightly. Um I still have issues to settle at thew firm. Youre at work, right? Well keep in touchter.


    Alright. Xu Baohan nodded. It was working hours and he couldnt bete.


    An Lan waved her hand and left with Li Yuchen and Wan Qi. She wondered whether it was an illusion, but she had the feeling that a lot of people were watching her from behind. She didnt even dare to look back.


    Watching An Lan left, the gentleness at the corners of Xu Baohans eyes reduced gradually.

 Chapter 1851. Who Would Take The Risk to Be The Rival in Love of Xu Baohan? He Would Have to Expect

    Chapter 1851. Who Would Take The Risk to Be The Rival in Love of Xu Baohan? He Would Have to Expect


    Everyone was shuddered. Although they had known earlier that Chief Judge Xu was a dignified and emotionless person, but the way he treated his girlfriend was such a huge difference from his usual self. The art of face changing also not as fast as his.


    Judge Yan Zhen braced herself and stepped forward to congratte him. Congrattions! Chief Judge Xu is finally going to end his bachelorhood. Ms An is quite pretty. Both of you are a perfect match.


    Xu Baohan turned back and looked at her condescendingly. You should have heard what He Mingqian said when you came out from the mediation room a moment ago, am I right?


    Yan Zhen was stupefied. She nodded and replied weakly, You dont expect me to testify in court, do you?


    I only would like you to testify that He Mingqian had said something to nder An Lan, Xu Baohan said calmly. Sorry to trouble you when the timees.


    It is my pleasure. It is my pleasure, Yan Zhen muttered to herself, what was going on? Did he mean that as a judge, she also had to testify in court? Chief Judge Xu, you seriously want to go to court, youre not joking, are you?


    I always mean what I say, Xu Baohan replied expressionlessly as he turned to leave.


    Those in the court were whispering to each other.


    Chief Judge Xu is so scary. Fortunately, I didnt speak ill of An Lan in the past.


    In the future, we must remember not to say something bad about Ms An.


    Definitely, we also couldnt have any ulterior motives on Ms An.


    Yeah, who would take the risk to be the rival in love of Xu Baohan? He would have to expect to go to court and to jail.


    At the Office.


    Xu Baohan walked in to the office and dialed Song Ruixues number.


    Baohan, why are you unexpectedly willing to contact me today? Song Ruixueughed from the other side of the phone.


    Teacher, didnt you owe me a favor before this? Xu Baohan said coldly. I would like you to make ae back to represent me.


    Song Ruixue became nervous when he heard this. Baohan, did you get into some trouble?


    No, not me. There is a person in the legal circle by the name of He Mingqian who had ndered and insulted the woman I like. He made up and spread some rumors that ruined her reputation. I want to sue him, Xu Baohan exined it calmly, Due to the extremely egregious nature of his conduct, I hope that he will be punished as severely as possible.


    Song Ruixue was stunned for a moment before he couldnt help swearing. Are you out of your mind? You want me to return your favor for such a trivial matter? Do you know that how many people out there would like me owing them favor?


    Teacher, didnt you hear clearly what I said? Its a case of extremely egregious nature, Xu Baohan said coldly. Its a small issue to you, but its a big issue to me. Dont you want to return the favor to me?


    Song Ruixue was left totally speechless. This is just a minorwsuit. It is not worthwhile in this case if you want me to return the favor. Ill just get my disciple to settle it for you.


    No, it must be you.


    Song Ruixue was silent for a moment before continued to talk, You want me to step in to attract the public attention so that his reputation will be ruined, am I right? You seem to harbor a lot of hatred towards him, do you? Theres no need to be so ruthless.


    Xu Baohan sneered. I wish I could knock him out, but my position doesnt allow me to do so, therefore I can only seek legal means to settle it.


    If this is the case, it is also not necessary. You mentioned that he had ndered the person you like, but she is still not your girlfriend. Is it true?


    Is there a difference? Shell be my girlfriend sooner orter, Xu Baohan replied determinedly.


    Song Ruixue simply couldnt do anything with him. In the end, he could only agree.


    He truly didnt expect that after five years without going to court, he would have toe out of retirement just for a minor nder case. Well, he could only try his best to win thewsuit.

 Chapter 1852. Nian Junting Felt A Little Disturbed

    Chapter 1852. Nian Junting Felt A Little Disturbed


    After hanging up the phone, Xu Baohan found Nian Juntings number and sent the recording of He Mingqian to him.


    A momentter, Nian Junting called him and spoke with a cold voice, Which bastard said that?


    He was simply furious that to his surprise, someone ndered him that he had a rtionship with An Lan. Well, It was quite some time that no one would dare to spread such a rumor. If this rumor were to reach his wifes ears, he would be wronged and suffered the consequences. Everyone knew that his wife was a jealous person. She might file a divorce if she were aware of it.


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person who spread the rumor was unforgivable.


    This was indeed would break up his rtionship with his wife and ruin his reputation.


    He Mingqian.


    Who the hell is he? I dont know him, Nian Junting was cursing.


    An Lans ex-boyfriend, Xu Baohan reminded him with kind intention.


    So its that guy, Nian Junting recalled it now. He had met him once before, and Xiao Si had informed himter that his character was quite bad. Very well, I would remember him. He wouldnt long being awyer.


    You dont have to do anything, Xu Baohan said calmly, Ive found awyer and decided to sue him.


    Nian Junting asked, Did he nder you too?


    The nder must be of a very serious nature that an emotionless person such as Xu Baohan would also want to sue him.


    He ndered the woman I like, Xu Baohan replied in a grave tone.


    Nian Junting,? ? ?


    An Lan, Im referring to An Lan, Xu Baohan spoke indifferently, Didnt you listen carefully to the recording just now?


    I only heard him ndering me, Nian Junting was shocked, You meant to say that you like An Lan. Had you been through something?


    Xu Baohan was displeased, Is it weird that I like her? Im a judge and shes awyer. Were definitely a perfect match. No one could possibly bully us in the future.


    Even if youre not together with An Lan, no one could possibly bully you, Nian Junting rubbed his forehead. At this moment, he felt that what had happened was kind of miraculous.


    Its hard to say, Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows, When the timees, if we want to sue He Mingqian, we might need your cooperation.


    Are you serious? Nian Junting found that this was unbelievable, I dont think you have to go through all the trouble. I could just beat him up, or I could expose some of his wicked deeds and ruin his reputation.


    Such a person deserved a beating. It was not necessary to create so much trouble that a legal letter had to be sent. He had many different ways to y dirty.


    No, Im aw-abiding citizen. Problems couldnt be solved by using force and onlyw is the most proper means, Xu Baohan said seriously, Im aw-abiding gentleman and I will collect more evidence. If everything goes well, he could be sentenced to an imprisonment of not more than three years or his political rights could be stripped of.


    Nian Junting had the feeling that this would be worse than beating up He Mingqian or destroying his reputation.


    If awyer were to go to jail, would there be anyone that would look for him to engage in awsuit, even if after he had been released from the prison? Furthermore, how could he be awyer if his political rights had been stripped off?


    Xu Baohan was extremely ruthless.


    Oh, by the way, to be on the safe side, I had looked for Song Ruixue to be mywyer. You are also a victim, youll definitely cooperate with me, am I right?


    Nian Junting:


    Song Ruixue was a figure that he couldnt even dream of seeking for his help.


    Nian Junting felt a little disturbed. He remembered that An Lan had a crush on him in the past. In the future, would she be targeted by this pervert, Xu Baohan?


    Ill definitely cooperate with you, Nian Junting quickly replied with a solemn tone, Even if Im not a victim also, I would help you to the end simply because you like An Lan. What is our rtionship? Were friends, close friends. In addition, An Lan had been my bestrade in work for so many years. I would definitely support you.

 Chapter 1853. Do You Honestly Trust Me so Much?

    Chapter 1853. Do You Honestly Trust Me so Much?


    Xu Baohan wasnt used to it. He wasnt used to it at all. I can understand that were friends, but since when we are close friends?


    I initially wanted to make a match between you and An Lan. Forget it, Nian Junting said calmly, After all, An Lan and I have known each other for a long time, and we have quite a number of mutual friends. By the way, she has a good rtionship with my wife, and her family grudges have some connection with my wifes younger brother. Its a long story.


    Xu Baohans heart sank, What do you mean? Do you mean that your wifes younger brother likes An Lan too?


    Nian Junting almost choked. A man in love was indeed had zero IQ, Why should I tell you? Were not close friends.


    Xu Baohan:


    When the timees, contact me if I am needed. Im hanging up, Nian Junting put down his phone.


    Lu Kang, who was standing by the side, looked at his boss face. He felt that he had seen a ghost. With his boss position, it was such a shame that he told Xu Baohan that they are close friends. It seemed that the sun also rose from the west. After all, Xiao Si also not being treated as such, Mr Nian, is there anyone who likes Ms An? I heard from Mr Xiao the other day that he was going to introduce Mr Cao of the Risk Control Department to Ms An.


    Nian Junting raised his eyebrows, Does he have nothing better to do?


    Lu Kang pursed his lips and continued to speak, Mr Xiao has always been on good terms with Ms An.


    Dont tell anyone about this, Nian Junting knocked on the table and said with a soft sigh, I dont want Xiao Si to suffer any serious consequences without even knowing why. Also, tell him not to matchmake An Lan for the time being. Its dangerous.


    Lu Kang:


    Ms An had been an object of affection of which powerful figure?


    Nian Junting did not talk to him further. He gave his wife a call, Luo Luo, what are you doing?


    Im bringing Little Apple to y in the park.


    Luo Luo, l have to tell you that recently, there are some shameless people spreading rumors that I have a rtionship with An Lan. If you happen to hear it, dont take it seriously Im definitely not that sort of person. I love you very much I love you, baby Do you miss me


    Lu Kang hurriedly lowered his head and walked towards the door. He really couldnt stand his boss acting unreasonably every now and then.


    ..


    After An Lan arrived at thew firm, her phone rang. It was Xu Baohan who called.


    She walked into the office and closed the door before pressing the answer button. Baohan


    Xu Baohan truly enjoyed she addressed him as such. Obviously, it would be better if it could be addressed more affectionately. Ive contacted Mr Song. He has agreed toe out of retirement.


    An Lan gasped in astonishment. Although he sounded very confident earlier, but when it was confirmed that Song Ruixue was willing to make aeback, she still felt that it was miraculous. Hes really willing to, this is just a minorwsuit


    To others, it might be a minorwsuit, but to me, its a majorwsuit, Xu Baohan interrupted her, An Lan, Im not a person who would swallow an insult, especially after hearing how you were humiliated and ndered by others. You yourself also mentioned that he always spread rumors in the legal circle after breaking up with you. asionally, the more you tolerant it, the more presumptuous this type of person would be. Perhaps you dont ce much concerned on your reputation, but youre a woman after all, and youve worked very hard. I dont wish to hear others saying that the fruits of your hard work are earned by you through sleeping with others.


    An Lans heart trembled. She felt that there was a warm current spreading throughout her body, and her throat was a little dry, We havent known each other for long, do you honestly trust me so much? You have to understand that as a woman at my age, it is indeed difficult to look for someone that could understand me, even my own family members dont trust me.

 Chapter 1854. My Strong Heart was Truly Moved by Him

    Chapter 1854. My Strong Heart was Truly Moved by Him


    I like you, so I believe in you. I also believe that my judgment isnt wrong.


    Xu Bohan said decisively, And Im a good judge of character. Even if youve been with someone for twenty to thirty years, you might not be able to understand them. But some people might see it through in a few days. There are women who take shortcuts in this world, but there are also many women who rely on their own hard work. He Mingqian looked down on women from the bottom of his heart, thats why he had those thoughts. However, those thoughts arent just for you. Its disrespectful to some hardworking women in general. Besides, I know Nian Junting as well, who is not a lecherous man.


    An Lan held her forehead with her left hand.


    Xu Bohan had never been a talkative person, but he had said so much today.


    Every word warmed her heart and made her feel a strong sense of respect.


    In the past, when she didnt understand Xu Bohan, she thought he was too cold and unreasonable, but after interacting with some people, she realized that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.


    At this moment, An Lan could clearly feel that her hard heart had been moved by him.


    Perhaps it was his trust, perhaps it was his understanding, or perhaps it was his respect and help.


    When are you free these few days? Lets go meetwyer Song, Xu Bohan continued. He needs to get to know you personally.


    An Lan was slightly excited, Senior song is willing to see me?


    That was her idol. She couldnt believe that her idol would be willing to go to court for her, and was actually willing to meet with her.


    Yes.


    Is tonight okay? An Lan was screaming in her heart.


    Xu Bohan suddenly felt a little depressed. He wasnt even this enthusiastic when she saw himself. If it wasnt for the fact that song Ruixue was now an old man, he definitely wouldnt allow these two toe into contact, Sure, Ill pick you up after work.


    Okay, okay, An Lan agreed honestly.


    After hanging up, An Lan walked around the office excitedly. She looked in the mirror before rushing to Li Yuchens office, How do you feel about my outfit today? Do I look dignified, virtuous, and capable?


    Li Yuchen looked her up and down in confusion, Are you going on a date with Chief Judge Xu tonight? Why, could it be that he helped you today and youve finally decided to throw yourself into his arms?


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him and said proudly, Im going to see Song Ruixue,wyer Song, tonight. Hes going to help me with my case.


    Li Yuchen was stunned before he revealed an expression of envy and hatred, Can you take me there? Let me admire Senior Songs brilliance.


    Impossible, Im also going with Xu Bohan, An LAN chuckled, this is the first time Ive felt so lucky to be ndered and humiliated by He Mingqian.


    Li Yuchen clicked his tongue, He Mingqian really failed miserably this time.


    At six in the afternoon, Xu Bohans ck Audi was parked downstairs. An Lan opened the car door and got in.


    The car was instantly filled with the faint fragrance of a woman. Xu Bohan sized her up. He had only seen her in the morning, but now that he saw her again, he felt different. For example, there was a scarf around her neck, and her hair was tied up elegantly with her long swan-like neck was exposed. Lipstick was no longer a dazzling color, but an elegant crimson. In any case, An Lan now exuded a sense of intellectual elegance.


    His heroic eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.


    Whats wrong? An LAN felt uneasy under his gaze, Is there something wrong with my outfit?

 Chapter 1855. An Lan, I’m Not Joking

    Chapter 1855. An Lan, I��m Not Joking


    Xu Bohans gaze was deep, Yes, theres a problem. Its just that youre going to meet an old man. Do you need to dress up so seriously? Youve never been so attentive when you saw me in the past.


    Was he jealous?


    An Lan looked at his sullen expression and suddenly found it funny. This was the first time she found out his cute side other than his strictness, How can you say that about your mentor? Senior Song is a mythical figure in our legal world. Everywyer regards him as their idol. Im going to meet my idol now. Its polite to dress up a little. Besides, Im not beautiful, Im just demure.


    Really? Xu Bohan tapped the steering wheel lightly with his finger and said bluntly, From what I see, you look quite beautiful today.


    Er An Lans thin face instantly blushed.


    The air in the car suddenly became thin and a little ambiguous.


    Xu Bohan did not notice it at all, as if he had just identally told the truth.


    And what exactly is it about him that makes him worthy of being your idol, Xu Bohan continued, is it because he hasnt lost a case in a long time? When he was young, he lost cases pretty often as well. It was only after he slowly umted experience that he gained his current status. Anyone who is serious and allows time to polish their skills will eventually seed.


    An Lan pouted, Because he can earn a few hundred million in a single case. How amazing and awesome that is.


    Xu Bohan was speechless, Is this why you admire him?


    An Lan nodded, If I can earn a few hundred million in a single case, Hehe


    She simply couldnt imagine that day.


    What do you want to do when you earn a few hundred million in a single case? Xu Baohan looked at her seriously.


    An Lan blinked with her mind turned nk for a moment.


    Actually, she was quite rich now and she already had everything she needed, so if the day came when awsuit could earn herself a few hundred million, she really didnt know what she wanted to do.


    You can be my sugar mommy. Xu Bohan kindly reminded her.


    An Lans mouth twitched. Did he still need to have some integrity? Dont tell me I need a few hundred million to be your sugar mommy? Isnt your worth too high?


    Thats not necessary. You can support me now, Xu Bohan narrowed his eyes and smiled, And even if you can never earn a few hundred million from awsuit in this lifetime, I will not abandon you.


    An Lan flustered as she brushed her hair by her ear. Her head was buzzing as she stared at the well-defined face in front of her and blurted out, Alright, I will be your sugar mommy.


    Xu Bohan was slowly starting up the car when he heard her words, he didnt react in time, but when he realized what was happening, he mmed his foot on the brakes and stared at her in shock.


    An Lan almost bit her tongue off.


    What did she say in the heat of the moment.


    She forced out a smile, I was just joking.


    An Lan, Im not joking. Xu Bohan shifted the gear back to P and turned off the engine.


    An Lan opened her red lips slightly with her mind and heart in a mess.


    Im easy to raise, Xu Bohan gazed deeply at her, I dont need you to give me money, nor do I need you to give me a luxurious house or car. I only need you to apany me asionally, and my role is to not allow others to bully you in the future. I can help you cook whatever you want, and I will do my best to buy whatever you want. Wherever you want to go, I can apany you. I will warm your bed in winter and cool it down in summer.

 Chapter 1856. Xu Bohan, Lets Give it a Try

    Chapter 1856. Xu Bohan, Let''s Give it a Try


    An Lan seemed to have a salesman in front of her. She blinked, I can understand warming your bed in the winter, are you sure you can be a summer mat as well?


    Yes, I can warm my bed in the winter and cool my bed in the summer, Xu Bohan nodded with a smile, If you dont believe me, you can give it a try this winter and next summer. If I cant do it, you can consider changing it.


    How could it be changed after trying.


    An Lan was embarrassed. She felt that this person was shameless and very sinister.


    However you still have to consider it carefully. Xu Bohan changed the topic and suddenly looked back at her with aplicated gaze, An Lan, if you encounter any danger in the future, I can stand in front of you without hesitation. If your parents arent in good health, I will take good care of them, but I also have my own bottom line. I wont go against my work philosophy for anyone. I hope you can understand.


    An Lan was stunned. Actually, she didnt need to him to say it out to understand this.


    Otherwise, he would not have fallen out with his parents and broken up with his ex-girlfriend.


    What if I break thew one day? An Lan suddenly could not help asking.


    Then I will wait for you, I will always wait for you, Xu Bohans dark eyes reflected her figure.


    An Lans heart trembled and she smiled, Ah, youre obviously the one chasing me now, dont make it seem like Im the one after you, and you still want me to think it through.


    Xu Bohan blushed, he spoke honestly, Because There are always people around me who want to get to know me with improper motives, even my closest rtives are no exceptions. They seem to think that having a judge as a friend is an extrayer of protection. An Lan, I dont like this, shouldnt judges enforce thew impartially? If everyone thinks that they can use a backdoor, then what justice can there be? When I put on that robe, I should be worthy of my identity.


    An Lan listened quietly. Only she knew how much his words had shaken her heart.


    There was no doubt that he was an upright person.


    An upright person did not need to doubt his character and personality.


    Moreover, as awyer, she had seen too many shameless people. An Lan sincerely admired Xu Bohan for maintaining such a pure heart.


    Xu Bohan, lets give it a try. She turned back slightly with a smile on her lips.


    Xu Bohan was stunned and his mind was buzzing.


    An Lan, are you serious?


    An Lan found it funny. What was wrong with this person? He had said so much about letting her be his mistress, and she had agreed to it, but he had acted like a fool now, I dont need to use your identity to help me, because I will never do anything illegal.


    She enunciated each word clearly, If someone around me is involved in awsuit, I will help them fight it myself. If they lose, they deserve it the most and it is because of myck of skills. What I want is not a man with an illustrious identity, nor a man who can help me. What I want is actually very simple that someone can give me warmth, protect me, and let me lean on sometimes, and we share the same values.


    An Lan Xu Bohan suddenly reached out to hold her.


    When he liked her, he didnt think too much. He was simply attracted to her in some way.


    But now, he realized that there were even more things that were glowing on her.


    She was independent, strong, and different from the rest.


    It made him, who had been walking on the bridge all this time, feel like he had finally found a glimmer of warmth.


    It turns out that meeting a person you like feels so good.

    Chapter 1857. In Her Early Thirties, She Finally Meet Someone She Wants to Spend Her Life with


    An Lan stared at their hands that were holding for a while.


    An illusion shed through her mind.


    She had actually agreed to Xu Bohan so quickly.


    She had clearly been filled with hostility during the blind date.


    Perhaps this was the so-called enemies.


    I was only saying that I wanted to give it a try, An Lan nced at him with her face warm, If its not suitable, we still have to break up.


    You have to say such unlucky things when youve just started dating? Xu Bohan pinched her fingers unhappily.


    An Lan softly sighed, I dont know if you have a feeling, but when you were in your early twenties, you always felt that the two of you would reach the end of the world. But as you grew older and experienced more, you became less and less courageous to enter a marriage. You also lost the confidence you had in the past, and it was easy for you to fail.


    Xu Bohan frowned and said, When you were in your early twenties, who did you think you would be with for the rest of your life?


    He was unhappy that he had just started dating, yet he had to be provoked like this. Youre in your early twenties, arent you secretly in love with Nian Junting?


    Im just getting an epiphany. I didnt say that I was in a rtionship in my early twenties. Besides, so what if I fell in love with someone else? Who didnt have a past? Dont you have one? I heard that you and your girlfriend were about to get married. An Lan looked a little resentful, actually, she regretted not falling in love back then. After all, the best years were only a few years, she shouldnt have missed it, but she hoped it wouldnt be toote to start now.


    Xu Bohans face shed with awkwardness.


    If he had known earlier, he would have controlled his jealousy.


    An Lan, Im different from you, He cleared his throat and looked at her seriously, I only met that person in my early 30s who I wanted to be with forever.


    An Lan stared at him and giggled. She couldnt stand him anymore and said flirtatiously, Ah, dont you know that sometimes when you talk too much, women wont take it seriously?


    Xu Bohan was depressed, because everything he said was true, alright.


    Drive. You cant park here, otherwise the traffic police wille over, An Lan reminded him, Should we eat outside or at Senior Songs ce?


    At my teachers ce. Xu Bohan slowly released her hand. Even though he had just held her hand, he couldnt put it down, You can just call him teacher Song like I do. Our rtionship is no longer normal.


    After saying that, his lips curled into a happy smile.


    An Lan was shy for a while. In such a short period of time, she already had a boyfriend. Why was it so surreal.


    Fifty minutester, the Audi drove into the viplex. About five minutester, the car stopped in the courtyard of a three-story vi.


    An Lan considered the location of the vi and sighed, As expected of my idol. This vi costs at least forty to fifty million.


    You like it? Xu Bohan turned and raised his eyebrows.


    An Lan thought about it and answered honestly, The house is average, but I want to have the ability to earn money like this.


    Xu Bohan smiled. His woman seemed to like a sense of sess and was destined to be a strong woman in the future, My taste is really good.


    An Lan nced at him arrogantly, I didnt know in the past, but now it is really good now.


    Im talking about your potentials, Xu Bohan raised an eyebrow, the corners of his lips curving upwards, Believe me, as long as I do my duty as a boyfriend, I believe that I will be an official one sooner orter and ride your coattail for the rest of my life.

 Chapter 1858. I’m Going to Tell Teacher Song That I Have a Girlfriend

    Chapter 1858. I��m Going to Tell Teacher Song That I Have a Girlfriend


    An Lan nodded, Thats true. Although its a bit old to ride on ones coattail, its a good thing that youre good-looking. As long as youre conscientious, it shouldnt be a problem.


    An Lan, youll know that there are benefits of being old. Xu Bohan leaned towards her.


    An Lan was startled by the sudden masculine presence. She watched as his handsome face drew closer and closer, wondering if he was going to kiss her.


    Wasnt this a little too fast? Should she push him away or what should she do.


    Her head was like a paste when Xu Bohan was about one-hand distance away from her, he suddenly stopped, having his hand passed by her waist and undid the seatbelt button.


    His dark eyes stared at her and he smiled faintly, Young men might not do things like unfastening seatbelts for you.


    Because they were too close, An Lans face was burning. She reached out to press against his chest and pushed him away. She said dryly, Thank you so much.


    Youre wee. Xu Bohan undid his own seatbelt and got out of the car to open the car door for her.


    When An Lan got out, he grabbed her hand.


    Ill tell teacher Songter that I have a girlfriend. Xu Bohan exined in a low voice.


    An Lan was embarrassed. Why did she feel like she was about to meet her parents.


    Aiya, Little Xu is here. A womans voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.


    The two of them turned around. A middle-aged woman in her fifties was walking over with a smile. Her gaze paused on their hands for a few seconds, and she covered her mouth and smiled, Little Xu finally has a girlfriend.


    Hello, Madam, long time no see, Xu Bohan introduced, An Lan, this is Madam Song. Madam, this is my girlfriend, An Lan.


    You brat, so you have high standards. No wonder you also turned down my matchmaking attempts in the past, Madam Song red at them, Come in quickly.


    Xu Bohan held An Lans hand as they walked in. In the living room, an elegant middle-aged man came out of the kitchen with fruits in his hands. When he saw the two of them, he was stunned.


    An Lan was so excited that her palms moved. She recognized this person at a nce. She didnt expect to see him so clearly up close. Song Ruixue, who was already over 60, seemed to have a good shape and looked like someone in his forties, Hello, teacher Song. Im An Lan. Ive heard a lot about you.


    She bowed respectfully.


    Xu Bohan looked at her obedient appearance and frowned. He reached out and pulled her up without leaving a trace, My girlfriend, An Lan.


    Song Ruixue adjusted his sses and nced at Xu Bohan, chuckled, I didnt hear about it this morning. I only said that its someone you like.


    Yes, we officially established our rtionship in the afternoon. Xu Bohan held An Lans hand and sat down.


    An Lan was a little embarrassed. Song Ruixue wouldnt have misunderstood that she had been moved to agree to his request for awsuit, right? Although it partially weighed in a bit, it was mainly because of Xu Bohan himself.


    Song Ruixue pursed his lips, muttering to himself that this kid was really quick to act. Other than being one-track-minded, this kid isnt bad. He even said that for yourwsuit, he owed me a favor that I owed him for ten years.


    An Lan was stunned. Who in the industry didnt want Song Ruixue to owe him a favor? It was worth hundreds of millions, yet he had casually used it up for her.


    Bohan, actually, theres no need

 Chapter 1859. You Like Eating Pork Trotters?

    Chapter 1859. You Like Eating Pork Trotters?


    If I dont use him now, I might not have the chance to use him in the future, Xu Baohan interrupted her, Im aw-abiding citizen and I dont need awyer like him. Besides, hes already in his sixties, who knows much longer he can live?


    An Lan looked at Song Ruixue. As expected, he was angry.


    You bastard, you dared to curse me, he said angrily. I can live to a hundred years old.


    Xu Baohan nodded calmly. But youll be too old to go to the court. You are good at nothing but being awyer, so its better to use your strength while you can.


    Song Ruixue took a deep breath, drinking water to calm himself down.


    An Lan nced at Xu Baohan, admiring him for daring to speak to his idol like that.


    Mr. Song, ignore him, An Lan tried to sooth him. He looks mean, but hes good guy.


    Xu Baohans lips curved up. So that was what she thought of him.


    Song Ruixue said unhappily, If I didnt knew his personality, I would have kicked him out long ago. But youngdy, you seem to know him quite well.


    An Lan was a little embarrassed. Thats right, although she had only known Xu Baohan for a short period of time, she did seem to know him quite well.


    Xu Baohan pulled her to sit down. If she doesnt know me, who does? If we dont know know each other, how can we end up together?


    Song Ruixue looked at him, surprised by his words. It seemed like he really liked the woman. No wonder he was so serious.


    You guys can talk about the case after the dinner, Mrs. Song said.


    Will Yitonge back for dinner? Song Ruixue asked.


    Shes busy at school and wille back after supper, Mrs. Song said.


    Song Ruixue shook his head in disapproval. Bohan is here. She shoulde back no matter how busy she is.


    We didnt know Bohan woulde this afternoon. Yitong has been busy at schooltely, Mrs. Song said with a smile and walked toward the dining room.


    An Lan asked in confusion, Do you still have a daughter studying in the school?


    She only remembered that Song Ruixue had a son who was also a very famouswyer, but he didnt work in Xia City.


    No, shes an associate professor in thew department of Xia City University, Mrs. Song exined with a smile.


    An Lan suddenly understood. She must be very good to have be an associate professor at such a young age.


    Im not sure about that, but she and Baohan used to be ssmates, Mrs. Song said.


    An Lan looked meaningfully at Xu Baohan, wondering if he had a romantic history with his ssmate.


    Xu Baohan did not notice meaning in her gaze and pulled out a chair for her to sit down. He nced at the dishes on the table with a warm expression.


    I prepared a few of your favorite dishes. Mrs. Song smiled amiably. Unfortunately, I didnt have time to go to the market. Otherwise, I would have bought some pork trotters. I remember that you love to eat them.


    An Lans mouth twitched as she looked at the man sitting beside her. You like eating pork trotters?


    Xu Baohans handsome face blushed. Is there a problem?


    Uh no problem. She shook her head. The thought of gorgeous Xu Baohan eating pork trotters made her want tough.


    Xu Baohan moved closer to her and said softly, If you dont like this dish, I wont eat it in the future.

 Chapter 1860

    Chapter 1860


    Theres no need for that. An Lan shook her head and whispered into his ear, Pork trotters are good for your skin.


    Her soft breath on his ear made Xu Baohans body stiffen.


    When he recalled the teasing in her words, hisrge hand gently pinched her palm, and he looked at her saying Mischievous with his eyes.


    An Lans lips curled up slightly, with sweetness in her heart.


    Song Ruixue and his wife saw the exchange and they looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.


    Lets eat, Mrs. Song said. The duck is quite delicious, you guys have a try.


    Xu Baohan nodded and picked up a piece for An Lan.


    Lets talk about the case, Song Ruixue said after taking two sips of wine.


    Xu Baohan nodded and recounted He Mingqians actions, as well as the rtionship between He Mingqian and An Lan.


    Song Ruixue finally understood why this kid was so relentless. It turned out that He Mingqian was An Lans ex-boyfriend.


    An Lan felt that Xu Baohan was making a mountain out of a molehill, however, she still braced herself and said, After He Mingqian broke up with me, he often badmouths me in the legal circle, saying that I get to where I am today by sleeping with men. Its infuriating but he never said it in front of me and I dont really care about what others think, so I just turned a blind eye to it. However, he went too far this time, attacking me personally in the public


    Xu Baohan nodded and continued, Theres more to that. He Mingqian bullied her because of her soft personality. His nder has caused a huge impact on her life. Not only has he damaged her reputation and maliciously tarnished her name, he has also dealt a psychological blow to her. She is 29 this year, and ever since she broke up with He Mingqian, she has not gone out with anyone. This is a psychological trauma. She doesnt trust men and fears marriage.


    An Lan was speechless.


    F * ck, what did she just hear? When did she not trust men? When did she start to fear marriage?


    Song Ruixues lips twitched. He almost shouted, Then why is she going out with you if she doesnt trust men?


    Xu Baohan continued, If she hadnt met me, she might never have been able to walk out of the shadow that He Mingqian brought her. Furthermore, his malicious words have made people doubt An Lans abilities. As a result, she has received less business recently. At the same time, it has also affected her ie. In short, He Mingqian has harmed her physically, mentally, and professionally.


    An Lan took a sip of the soup, deciding that even if she broke up with Xu Baohan in the future, shed make it as friendly as she could. He was too tough to deal with.


    Song Ruixue also took a sip of the soup to calm himself down. Tell me, what do you want?


    Send him to jail, preferably for three years. If it cant be done, make him pay two million to settle, Xu Baohan said. He must publicly apologize to her and confess what hes done.


    Song Ruixue nodded. I usually dont take cases that payspensation less than 2 million yuan. Ill make him pay at least three million.


    Thank you, sir. Xu Baohan raised his teacup.


    An Lan watched in a daze as the two of them clinked their teacups.


    She suddenly felt that she had earned too little as awyer in the past. She must be more ruthless towards those who dared to mess with her.

 Chapter 1861. Hes Got Good Teeth

    Chapter 1861. He''s Got Good Teeth


    Oh right, remember to submit witnesses and material evidence. Song Ruixue looked at An Lan. He Mingqian is spreading rumors outside, so it wont be difficult to find witnesses to testify in court, right?


    Theres definitely no problem with that. An LAN nodded. He Mingqian was so shameless that everyone who knew his true color detested him.


    Didnt you say you have the messages he sent you when he was courting you? Xu Baohan looked at her. Show it to my mentor to see if we can use them.


    Despite her embarrassment, she took out her phone and pulled out the screenshots.


    Song Ruixue read them for a few minutes, then nced at Xu Baohan with a faint smile.


    Let me have a look to see if they can be used as evidence. Xu Baohan reached for her cell phone.


    Without thinking, An Lan jumped up and grabbed his arm. Her beautiful eyebrows, nose, and eyes were almost squeezed together in embarrassment. Dont, theres nothing to see.


    An Lan, Ill see them in court anyway. Xu Baohan smiled faintly. Dont worry, I always keep my personal feelings out when I deal with cases. Besides, everyone has a past, I understand.


    His gaze was sincere and calm. An Lan hesitated for a moment and let go of his hand.


    Xu Baohan took the cell phone and read the messages. He Mingqians WeChat messages were filled with disgusting words, such as, Lan, it is cold today, remember to dress warmly, Lan, when I see your happy smile today, I wanted to give you the whole world, Last night, I dreamt that we were together. In the dream, I smiled like a child. When will you ept me?


    An Lan forced herself to forget the contents of the messages and continued to eat as fast as she could.


    Xu Baohans handsome face remained calm as he finished reading the messages. He put down the phone with a faint smile still on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice.


    Song Ruixue, who knew him well, coughed lightly and said, We can use these messages. At least they can prove that you werent the one who courted him. On the contrary, he was the one who kept pestering you you.


    Good. An Lan nodded vigorously. She was so nervous that she hadpletely forgotten that she was also awyer. She understood all of this.


    Um can I have my phone back? An Lan braced herself and reached out her hand towards the man beside her.


    Xu Baohan maintained his smile. An Lan, I finally understand why you said that men full of sweet words are not trustworthy. Its because you met a very disgusting scumbag.


    Despite his smile, his words gave her goosebumps. Yes, I was too naive back then.


    Its not your fault. Xu Baohan patted her head. You and me met toote. Come, lets eat.


    An Lan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.


    Then she saw Xu Baohan pick up a piece of pork rib and bit the bone into three pieces with great force. There were even cracking soundsing from his mouth.


    An Lan shuddered. She had tried to bite a pork rib, but found it was the kind that was impossible to break. How did he do it?


    No wonder he loved to eat pork trotters. His teeth were really good. Maybe he bit it while he was thinking of He Mingqian.


    After that, the meal was very dull.


    Then the three of them sat in the living room to have tea. Xu Baohan actually was very good at making tea.


    Baohan, you havent talked to your father for a long time, right? Song Ruixue suddenly asked with a sigh.

 Chapter 1862. Mr. Song’s Daughter, Song Yitong

    Chapter 1862. Mr. Song��s Daughter, Song Yitong


    Xu Baohans hand that was holding the teacup paused. After a moment, he raised his head and said calmly, We dont have much to talk about.


    Song Ruixue shook his head helplessly. No matter what, hes your father.


    Lets not talk about him. Xu Baohan smiled faintly. He disowned me. What else is there to talk about?


    Song Ruixue clicked his tongue. Im doing this for your good. With your uncle giving him bad advice, your father might find you a stepmother. Im just afraid that others might take money that should be yours.


    I dont care about the money. Xu Baohans tone remained calm, I prefer to rely on myself. Besides, Im doing quite well now. I have my own ce, a car, a girlfriend, a job and bank savings. What more do I need? Im satisfied.


    An Lan thought to herself, Maybe my problem is that Im never satisfied.


    However, from their conversation, she knew that Xu Baohans family had some money.


    She didnt care. Shed rather to be rich herself than having a rich boyfriend. After all, her own money was more reliable.


    At 7:30 pm, the sounds of a car came from outside.


    With clicking sounds of high heels, and a woman walked in. She had short hair and wore jeans, a pink leather jacket, and sses.


    An Lan had purposely dressed like an intellectualdy today, but looking at the woman, she knew what a truly intellectual woman look like, and she still felt a little inferior.


    I thought you went to a social event and would be back veryte, Mrs. Song said with a smile.


    Song Yitong nced at Xu Baohan, her gazending on An Lan, her eyes shing with surprise. Didnt you guys say that Judge Xu woulde over today? Why, we havent seen each other for more than half a year, and the judge has already found a girlfriend?


    Yes. Xu Baohan turned to introduce An Lan. This is Mr. Songs daughter, Song Yitong.


    Hello, Im An Lan. An LAN stood up and shook hands with song Yitong. She had thought that Song Yitong might be her rival in love since she was Xu Baohans ssmate, but from Song Yitongs gaze, she could tell that wasnt the case.


    You two met on a blind date? Song Yitongs gaze was a littleplicated.


    An Lan and Xu Baohan fell silent at the same time. Strictly speaking, they had indeed met on a blind date.


    Ms. Song, youre really amazing. An Lan smiled faintly.


    Baohan, youre not young anymore. Its time for you to get married, Song Yitong suddenly said emotionally. Even my daughter will have to go to kindergarten soon.


    Ms. Song, are you married? An Lan raised her eyebrows.


    Song Ruixueughed. Shes older than you. If she wasnt married, her mother and I would be worried sick.


    My Husband is studying abroad, so Im living here for the time being, leaving my daughter with my mother-inw, Song Yitong said with a smile. What do you do, Miss An?


    Im awyer.


    Song Yitongs mouth opened in shock. After a while, she said, What was the person who set up thinking?


    Not much, I guess. Xu Baohan smiled. But it ended up well for us.


    Song Yitongs gaze lingered on his face for a while before she nodded. Did you bump into your old ssmates during the universitys 70th anniversary celebration?


    I bumped into Xing Yuan.


    The two of them chatted for more than 20 minutes. They talked about the career developments of their old ssmates and their work. An Lan felt that they were two old friends who hadnt seen each other for a long time catching up, but she didnt feel bored. After all, it was an rare opportunity to sit and talk with the prestigious Song Ruixue.

 Chapter 1863. I’ve Changed Because of Her

    Chapter 1863. I��ve Changed Because of Her


    When it was 8:30 pm, Xu Baohan looked at the time and stood up. Its gettingte. We have a long drive home. Weve got to go now. An Lans case will depend on you, sir.


    Alright, Ive never lost in decades. Song Ruixue waved his hand.


    Song Yitong walked them out.


    Xu Baohan opened the car door for An Lan. After she got into the passenger seat, Xu Baohan walked towards the drivers side. Song Yitong suddenly lowered her voice and asked. Will you marry Ms. An?


    Xu Baohan nced at her and nodded.


    Now that she was with him, hed never let her go.


    Tianyao and Xue Zheng broke up at the beginning of the year, Song Yitong said with aplicated expression. Shes single now.


    Xu Baohan frowned in displeasure. Theres no need to tell me these things.


    Back then, Tianyao broke up with you to be with Xue Zheng mainly because Xue Zheng helped her family. If it wasnt for Xue Zhengs help, her father might have gone to jail.


    Song Yitong shrugged, Perhaps Ms. An is very good, but you must follow your own heart. You said that you would find a suitable woman to marry sooner orter, but its better if you can marry someone you love. However, if you insist on doing this, I wont try to dissuade you. If it wasnt for me, you and Tianyao wouldnt have gotten together. Im truly sorry that you two broke up.


    As you said, it is all in the past. And people change. Xu Baohan nced at An Lan in the car, his expression serious. Ive already changed, shes the one who made me change. I hope that you wont bring up this topic again. Im very satisfied with the present situation. Goodbye.


    He got into the car and drove away.


    Song Yitong looked at the car as it drove away and couldnt help sighing.


    You didnt say anything in front of An Lan, did you? Song Ruixues voice came from behind her.


    How could I? Dad, do you think Im an idiot? Song Yitong smiled. No matter what, Im quite happy for him to have a girlfriend. After all, Ive always felt bad about what happened back then. If I hadnt introduced Tianyao to him, he wouldnt have been hurt so badly in the end.


    Dont mention Zhuang Tianyao in front of him in the future, Song Ruixue warned sternly. The Zhuang family is too selfish.


    Dad, dont say that, Song Yitong said helplessly. From the Zhuang familys point of view, they did what they had to do. After all, they were in a really difficult situation back then.


    Even if it was difficult for them, they should have tried to understand from Xu Baohans point of view, Song Ruixue said in disapproval, They wanted Xu Baohan to help them, but did they ever think about what would happen to him if he was found out? If his future was ruined, would the Zhuang family allow their daughter to be with him? They valued him only because of his background. If you ask me, Zhuang Tianyao is also selfish. She got together with another man right after breaking up with Xu Baohan. It was an insult to Xu Baohan.


    Song Yitong fell into an awkward silence.


    Also, I can tell that Xu Baohan is serious with his girlfriend. Dont think that hes looking for a woman just to get married, Song Ruixue said. You came backte and there are some things that you dont know.


    Song Yitong scratched the back of her head. It seemed like she had done something unnecessary today.


    In the car, music was ying on the radio.


    An Lan turned her head and asked, What did you and Ms. Song talk about? You looked weird when you got into the car.

 Chapter 1864. I Overestimated Myself And Underestimated How MuChapter I Cared About You

    Chapter 1864. I Overestimated Myself And Underestimated How MuChapter I Cared About You


    We had a disappointing conversation, Xu Baohan frown slightly.


    An Lan nodded in understanding and didnt pursue it further. He would say it if he wanted to. She wasnt the type of woman who would interrogate persistently. Everyone should have their own privacy.


    That Ms Song seemed to look at me strangely, An Lan suddenly smiled and said jokingly, She didnt have a crush on you when she was young, did she?


    How could it be possible? Xu Baohans lips twitched. She was a tomboy when she was still schooling. If it wasnt for Mr Song, I wouldnt have known her pretty well.


    Why?


    I didnt have a lot of friends during that time, Xu Baohan answered honestly. My coursemates in university were quite boring. They liked to hang out and their conversation topics were either about girls or where they nned to go to have some fun. It was quite boring listening to it frequently.


    You found it boring even when talking about girls. An Lan clicked her tongue and nced at him.


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and retorted, Could it be that you liked to talk about boys with your friends in University?


    An Lan:


    Why did she feel that she had dug a hole for herself?


    No, I didnt An Lan quickly answered it seriously. I was focused on my studies at that time. I even being rmended for admission to overseas university. This showed how good my results were. I was so engrossed in my studies until I neglected to eat and sleep, especially during my sophomore year.


    Xu Baohan did not utter a word. He stretched out one hand to hold hers and pinched the back of her hand gently.


    This was the most intimate gesture they had since they started dating, but there was an indescribable air of intimacy.


    An Lan endured her burning hot face and pinched the back of his hand. Drive carefully, Chief Judge.


    Xu Baohan felt that his heart was numb from her pinching.


    He retracted his hands and ced them on the steering wheel. All of a sudden, he said, My teeth hurt.


    An Lan was baffled. After a short space, she teased him, While having dinner, the ribs were also being crunched by you. Why did you bite it so hard? How could your teeth not get hurt?


    I feel ufortable. Xu Baohan looked at her with aplicated expression. Im disgusted by the wechat messages He Mingqian sent you.


    Actually, when An Lan thought about it, she also felt that those messages were nauseating. She thought further that during that time, she was indeed a little touched by the messages, but now she was disgusted as if she had eaten dirt.


    It turns out that you prefer to hear flirtatious words. Xu Baohan spoke it in a slightly sour tone.


    Alright, dont bring it up anymore. An Lan said snappishly with a red face. Didnt you mention that you could separate private affairs from the case?


    I overestimated myself and underestimated how much I cared about you, Xu Baohan said softly.


    An Lans heart gave a throb. She lowered her head in silence, revealing only half of the rear part of her blushing ears.


    There was a trace of deepness in Xu Baohans gaze.


    About an hourter, the car stopped at the entrance of An Lans neighbourhood.


    An Lan took a deep breath. Thank you for today. I will contact the witness as soon as possible.


    Okay. Xu Baohan stared at her.


    Also, if it wasnt for you, I wouldnt have been able to meet Mr Song. An Lan was very excited when this was brought up.


    Youll see him more often in the future. Xu Baohan leaned towards her.


    An Lan thought that he would unbuckle her seatbelt as before and she held her breath sitting motionlessly.


    In the next moment, he lowered his head and kissed her unexpectedly.


    The air in the car became thin at once.


    An Lan widened her eyes. She felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her throat.


    All these happened too suddenly.


    They looked at each other. Xu Baohan only had her in his eyes. His eyshes which were like long feathers brushed over her eyelids.


    You, her face was burning.

 Chapter 1865. I Could Clearly Feel That I Am In Love

    Chapter 1865. I Could Clearly Feel That I Am In Love


    Wasnt he supposed to unbuckle her seatbelt?


    Why did he suddenly kiss her?


    An Lans mind was in a mess.


    Perhaps she had been single for quite some time and a casual kiss would have made her felt like having high blood pressure.


    Fortunately, it was a brief kiss.


    Xu Baohan was still not satisfied. He looked at her and said, Youre my girlfriend now, I believe I should be able to kiss you.


    An Lan tried her best to contain her tingling scalp. Staring at each other at such a close range, they became much more intimate instantaneously.


    Do you think so? She put on a false smile. A lot of things could happen after I became you girlfriend. Do you think that you could do anything that you wish to do?


    Xu Baohans heart palpitated. He suddenly felt like wanted to drink mineral water to quench his thirst. He truly wanted to voice out that he wished all his rights as a boyfriend could be utilized today, but he was well aware that this was impossible. Moreover, he also sensed the embarrassment in her tone.


    Im sorry, I had said it wrongly. Xu Baohan lowered his gaze with the tip of his nose looked unusually straight. I did it out of impulse, but I didnt regret it, because I really wanted to do this when I fell in love with you.


    An Lans ears were burning faintly, but she still raised her eyes and red at him. Weve been dating for half a day until now, and you have made a speedy progression. Today, we kissed, but after this


    Ill definitely reduce the speed after this. Xu Baohan said with a sincere gaze. An Lan, dont worry, Im not a casual person.


    Yes, I know, but when you are casual, you are not a normal person, An Lan nodded.


    Xu Baohan looked at her for a moment, then he smiled at once and reached out to pinch her nose.


    An Lan instantly stared at him with vignce.


    Xu Baohans lips curled up. It was just a joke. An Lan. No matter what, I will respect you. I kissed you because I really like you.


    I know.


    An Lan lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed by his continuous confession. Itste, Im going back now.


    Okay.


    At this instance, Xu Baohan did unbuckle her seatbelt. When are you free? Lets go for a movie.


    Sure. An Lan didnt reject him. After all, they were dating. It was normal to have a date.


    She got out of the car. Xu Baohan watched as she walked into the neighbourhood. He thought to himself, On the next asion, I must park my car properly and bring her in. This neighbourhood is such that cars could not drive up, and could only drive directly to the parking lot. Its even more difficult for outside vehicles to enter. It seemed like he had to get a car ess card in her neighbourhood.


    At this moment, after she had calmed down and recalled it thoroughly, An Lan realized that she wasnt an annoying person after all.


    At twenty-nine years of age, she could still feel her heart throbbing and was able to meet someone who could move her heart, life had treated her quite fairly.


    If it was possible, she also hoped that this rtionship woulde to fruition.


    After she finished showering, she received Xu Baohans wechat messages. I have reached home, An Lan. Tonight, I was like a young man being together with you. I could clearly feel that Im in love. I never thought that I would have this kind of feeling. Even though weve only been dating for half a day, but I want to be with you forever.


    An Lan looked at the messages and thought, Heavens, why are all my boyfriends especially fond of using wechat to send nauseating love messages?.

 Chapter 1866. Why Did She Feel Like He Misunderstood Her Even More

    Chapter 1866. Why Did She Feel Like He Misunderstood Her Even More


    But she still couldnt help falling into it after listening to it once.


    Even though she had been hurt before, she still believed that Xu Bohans words came from the bottom of his heart. After all, wasnt this how it was when one was in love? Especially at the beginning when everything felt good.


    A momentter, An Lan lowered her head to reply. but after typing for a while, she deleted it again. She realized that she wasnt as thick-skinned as Xu Bohan who was so head-to-dead before, but not was so mushy after in a rtionship.


    Before she could reply, Xu Bohan replied again, What did you want to say to me? It kept showing that you were typing, but you didnt reply..


    So he had been staring on WeChat the entire time.


    An Lan was embarrassed and immediately typed in, I wanted to say, werent you still mocking He Mingqian for his words of love today? Youve learned from him so quickly..


    Xu Bohan: Hmm, for that kind of scum to be able to catch up to you, it shows just how weak your immunity to love words is. Sometimes, I can learn from him, but the difference between us is that Im speaking the truth, hes lying..


    An Lanughed to herself and replied: Alright, I got it, go to bed early, Chief Judge, youre not young anymore, if you sleepte, youll age faster.


    Xu Bohan: Dont worry, ording to the statistics, women age faster than men.


    An Lan:


    There was no way to chat properly.


    An Lan: do you want to be reced on your first day.


    Xu Bohan, who was sitting on the bed, quivered and quickly replied, But you are an exception. I will definitely age faster than you..


    An Lan giggled lightly, what a strong desire to survive.


    After the chat ended, Xu Bohan turned off the lights and went to sleep. He realized that he was suffering from insomnia. As long as he closed his eyes, all he could think about was that suffocating kiss in the car.


    The next day, when An Lan woke up and was brushing her teeth, Li Yuchen called her mysteriously, You spent the night with Chief Judge Xu?


    An Lan almost choked on her toothpaste that she quickly spat out some water and said grumpily, Can you put something healthy in your head?


    Li Yuchens voice was innocent, Didnt you check your WeChat moments early in the morning? Chief Judge Xu actually posted on his WeChat moments at 12 am. He usually reposts all sorts of legal content and news about the rule ofw in his WeChat moments. But there was a paragraph describing his emotion out of the blue. Something big must have happened.


    An Lan was speechless, You do follow him quite a bit. I remember that you only added him recently. You read through his previous WeChat moments and understood them so clearly. What do you mean?


    Didnt I do it all for You? Li Yuchen chuckled.


    An Lan took a sip of water to wash off the foam in her mouth, What did his WeChat moments say?


    I wont tell you. See for yourself.


    Li Yuchen hung up. An Lan opened it curiously. Xu Bohan had posted a very short message in the early morning: insomnia, the most special day. Ill work harder in the future.


    Under the post, Nian Juntingmented, Congrattions, let me guess, is An Lan sleeping next to you now.


    An Lan:


    People nowadays why are their brains so dirty? This was obviously a WeChat moments that couldnt be any purer.


    An Lan directly replied to Nian Junting, Sorry, Im sleeping in my own bed..


    Nian Junting replied to An Lan, Got it, I know the time and ce..


    Why did she feel that he had misunderstood her even more.


    At that moment, she was so d that she and Xu Bohan didnt have any other friends in their WeChat moments other than Nian Junting.

 Chapter 1867. I Had Insomnia Last Night

    Chapter 1867. I Had Insomnia Last Night


    At 8:30 am, an LAN was changing in the changing room when she received a call from Xu Bohan, Have you eaten breakfast?


    Yes.


    What did you eat?


    An Lan thought to herself that this was probably the usual conversation between a couple in the beginning. She and Xu Bohan were the same, but it didnt seem like there was anything wrong with it. Wasnt this just getting to know each other from life? I made my own bread.


    Xu Bohan was stunned for a moment before he praised her from the bottom of his heart, An Lan, I realized that you really know a lot. In the past, I thought that other than being good at filingwsuits and scolding people, the kitchen shouldnt be your area of expertise. I didnt expect you to be so virtuous. Very few women nowadays know so much.


    After he finished speaking, he reflected deeply. Without knowing a person well enough, one couldnt simply judge a person.


    An Lans mouth twitched. It was understandable for her to go to court, but what was the point of being good at scolding others? Wasnt she just scolding him once in the washroom? How could he still remember that till now, Dont misunderstand, I just bought a toaster, threw in the ingredients, then opened it two hourster and started eating.


    Xu Bohan was silent for a while before saying, Is the bread made by the toaster delicious? Dont tell me you brought it back from abroad again.


    Thats not it. I bought it in China, but its also a foreign brand. Its just a little expensive,An LAN said honestly, But theres a reason why its expensive. The bread made is not worse than the ones bought in the shops outside. Of course, the main reason is that its healthier.


    Thats true, Xu Bohan said in surprise, I didnt expect you to care so much about eating healthy.


    Yes, thats a must, An Lan said seriously, Is it because I have a lot of money? I will earn even more in the future. My goal is to be a billionaire, so I have to cherish my life. After all, too many young people are suffering from cancer these days.


    Xu Bohan coughed lightly. The more they talked about this topic, the weirder it became. Dont talk nonsense, but its not unreasonable for you to be so worried. How about this, if you and I are free after work in the future, I wille to your house and cook for you.


    Why did it suddenly rise to the point where he had toe over to her house to cook frequently?


    An Lan was stunned. Er actually, i


    Its decided then, Xu Bohan said, After all, youre someone who wants to be a billionaire, so you do have to cherish your life. I also have to take good care of your body, so Ill still have to rely on you to support me in the future.


    An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry, so she changed the topic, Are you at work?


    Yes, Im sitting in my office, Xu Bohan said, Im going to see the directorter. He saw me posting on WeChat moments and asked if I was in a rtionship with you. I said yes, so I guess he must be reminding me of the things I need to pay attention to when Im in a rtionship with awyer.


    An Lan was embarrassed. Being in a rtionship with the most promising judge of the court was really different and that it escte to the point for the director to personally look into it on the second day of their rtionship, Who told you to post on WeChat moments? Dont you know how to keep a low profile?


    I just wanted you to see it, Xu Bohan suddenly lowered his voice, I had insomniast night and didnt sleep much. I dont even remember how long I havent had insomnia.


    An Lans heart was soft, but she couldnt help saying, I heard that everyone has a certain age threshold, and at that point, its easy to suffer from insomnia. You can take some Chinese medicine to recuperate, or drink a ss of milk.


    Xu Bohan:

 Chapter 1868. Who Is Even More Unromantic Than Him

    Chapter 1868. Who Is Even More Unromantic Than Him


    He felt as though a bucket of cold water had been thrown at him, stirring the cold.


    He seemed to understand the reason why An Lan was still able to stay single even though she was so beautiful and capable.


    He felt that he was rather unromantic, but now he realized that there was someone who was even more unromantic than him.


    An Lan, Im having insomnia because of you.


    Xu Bohan was helpless. It seemed that euphemism wasnt really suitable for An Lam, so he could only be more direct, Youre the one who can make me suffer from insomnia, and youre the only one who can prevent it. Even drinking milk and Chinese medicine are useless.


    An Lan was already embarrassed, but now she was even more embarrassed. If you made her speak about thew, she can go all around it, but if you made her respond to her love words


    Yes, I know. Its normal for me to be so charming.


    Xu Bohan was silent for a while before chuckling, Youre right, but insomnia yesterday and insomnia today cant hold too long. Do you have time tonight? Id like to meet you and watch a movie together.


    I have a social dinner tonight, maybe after dinner.


    Okay.


    After hanging up, Xu Bohan turned on hisputer. Su Run came in with a pile of files. Chief Judge, there are 21 cases on your side today.


    After he said that, he instantly felt that the leaders expression, which was previously filled with joy, had instantly darkened.


    Su Run could only exin helplessly, Recently, there have been a lot of cases. In addition to Judge Yaos maternity leave these few days, everyones workload has increased again, and there are more criminal cases.


    Xu Bohan rubbed between his eyebrows. He disliked criminal cases and business cases the most. They were the most troublesome, especially for someone of his level. The cases that were assigned to him were all big cases, and the work was especiallyplicated.


    Moreover, the open a court session would be held this morning and afternoon. Even if he worked overtime at noon, he would have to stay up until nine oclock to get off work. It would take him another 40 to 50 minutes to go to An Lans ce, so it was unlikely that he would be able to watch a movie.


    Oh right, Chief Judge, are you in a rtionship? Congrattions. Su Run congratted him sincerely.


    Xu Bohan nced at him expressionlessly, Thats right, I originally nned to go on a date tonight, but it seems like its gone now.


    Su Run braced himself and said, I think you might not just be gone today, youll also be gone tomorrow. Tomorrow night, youre going to be interviewed by the reporters, and the people from Xia City Evening News will being over.


    Why me? Xu Bohans brows deeply furrowed.


    Because the Dean said that youre the most handsome person in the court. Su Run forced a smile, Youre the most handsome person in our court. The Dean said that your appearance on the news will attract more school graduates to studyw. This will improve the imbnce between men and women in the judicial world. After all, this is an era that depends on ones looks.


    Xu Bohan was speechless. He didnt expect him to be responsible for improving the imbnce between men and women.


    He had no choice but to send a WeChat message to inform An Lan that the movie was canceled tonight.


    An Lan felt a little regretful. She had been thinking about what movie to watch tonight. Was it easy for an unmarried youngdy who had been single for a long time to watch a movie? It turned out that she was stood up just like that.


    After dinner with Yan Wen and her client, Yan Wen smiled and said, Lawyer An, youre finally dating Chief Judge Xu. You should have a date tonight, right?


    Ever since Li Yuchen saw Xu Bohans WeChat moments, everyone in thew firm knew that she was in love.


    He has to work overtime today and tomorrow. An Lan looked at the time. It was only eight oclock, Are you busy tonight? Why dont we go watch a movie?


    Yan Wen was stunned and said with mixed feelings, Lawyer An, I didnt expect that I would apany you to the movies on your first night of not being single.

 Chapter 1869. It Was Indeed Tired to Work, But It Is Worse Not Seeing You

    Chapter 1869. It Was Indeed Tired to Work, But It Is Worse Not Seeing You


    An Lan originally thought it was great, but after hearing her words, she suddenly felt miserable.


    Forget it, its better not to go. Lets go home and read the documents. An LAN waved her hand. It was more important to focus on earning money.


    No, no, no, Ill go with you. Yan Wen quickly hugged her arm to not letwyer An go home alone and her imagination run wild.


    Recently, a ssic Japanese anime, Spirited Away, had been released. The two of them did not really care that they had to watch a domestic movie, as long as it was good.


    After buying a ticket and going in to watch it for more than ten minutes, An Lan felt a little bored. Yan Wen could not help but say, Isnt this anime quite ssic? All the big name bloggers are praising it on Weibo, but why do I feel that it is just average?


    An LAN thought about it and said, Maybe its because weve watched too many movies and we watched everything, but this cartoon was released more than ten or twenty years ago. Its a ssic and has a profound meaning. What were watching is our emotions.


    Yan Wen nodded her head and the two of them continued watching with popcorn in their hands.


    Around nine oclock, An Lan received a call from Xu Bohan. Before he could speak, she heard the sound of a screeninging from An Lans side. You Where are you? Its quite noisy.


    Im watching a movie with Yan Wen,An Lan said in a low voice.


    After that, there was silence and Xu Bohan said in a low voice after a while. An Lan, Im jealous.


    What to be jealous about watching a movie with a female subordinate? He should be feeling sorry for her alright.


    Why didnt you wait for me? Xu Bohan sighed deeply.


    An Lan was silent. She couldnt possibly say that she went to the movie because she didnt want to go back after you stood her up.


    Which movie theatre are you at? Ill look for you, Xu Bohan said, Lets go and have some dinner. I just got off work.


    An Lan looked at the time and pondered, Itll take you at least 40 minutes to get here from the judges ce. Itll be about 12 oclock by the time you finish your dinner. You have to go back to work tomorrow, how about


    I didnt have dinner. Xu Bohan interrupted her.


    An Lan opened her mouth and said, Do you have anything to eat at your ce? Ill drive over to eat with you.


    Xu Bohan chuckled, Are you afraid that itll be toote by the time I finish my dinner, so you suggested eating at my ce? But An Lan, even if you eat at my ce, I wont let you drive back alone. Im worried.


    An Lan blushed. She didnt expect him to see through her immediately. She didnt want him to go through all that trouble and shes already tired after a whole day of work.


    Wait for me at the entrance of your neighbourhood, Xu Bohan said, Go home and put the car away. Ill pick you up to eat with me. I remember that theres quite a lot of food around your neighbourhood. An Lan, Im tired from work, but Ill be even more tired if I dont see you.


    It was noisy in the cinema, but his voice drifted into her ears like a cello, causing An Lans heart to burn.


    After the movie ended, she drove back to her house and parked the car. Xu Baohan had arrived as well.


    She got into the passenger seat. He was wearing a light blue striped shirt with slightly rolled sleeves and a few buttons unbuttoned at the cor. There were two Starbucks on the shelf in the car, and the faint aroma of coffee wafted through the air.


    I bought you a cup of hot chocte.Xu Bohan pointed at a Starbucks paper cup in front of him, Other than coffee, there arent many varieties of Starbucks. I dont want you drink coffee at night, so I bought hot chocte.

 Chapter 1870. You Are More Interesting Than Phone Now

    Chapter 1870. You Are More Interesting Than Phone Now


    Then why do you drink coffee? An Lan frowned, Do you drink coffee because youre tired? Oh, right, you said you didnt sleep wellst night.


    She was the same. Sometimes, she was too tired from working overtime and would always drink a cup of coffee to improve herself. However, drinking too much coffee wasnt good either.


    An Lan, I know what youre trying to say, Xu Baohans ck eyes revealed a faint smile, Indeed, under such circumstances, I should just go home and make some noodles to settle my sleep, but strangely, I just dont feel like going back. No matter howte it is, I still want to see you and have something to eat with you. Im not worried about myself but Im afraid that Ill disturb you. Have you been disturbed by me? Ive heard that women need to take a beauty sleep. If I did, I wonte to see you after 10:00 next time.


    There was a calmness and sincerity in his eyes and tone. An Lan shook her head subconsciously. Although she had been ying with her phone in bed at 10 pm recently and was tired of going out to social events, it was probably because of him, so she could change for him.


    No, I usually go to bed at around 12 am and y with my phone untilte. An Lan said honestly.


    Then wouldnt I be disturbing you from ying with your phone? Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows.


    An Lan picked up the hot chocte and took a sip. She lowered her head and said in a casual tone, Youre more interesting than my phone right now.


    Xu Bohans lips curved into a smile. In the car with dimmed light, he looked like a blooming epiphyllum at night that was extremely charming and elegant.


    Im honored. He reached out hisrge palm and stroked her hair.


    An Lans face was flushed from his smile, Im talking about the present.


    I know. When we get married in the future, youll find me more interesting than a phone.


    Xu Bohan looked wronged, What I mean is that after we get married, we can discuss thew in the dead of night. As two legal practitioners, do you think this is meaningless? Or are you really thinking about something dirty which is why you say that Im a thief calling for stop thief.


    An Lan:


    She didnt expect that she, who had always been eloquent, would be rendered speechless by his words.


    Looks like thewyer cant win against the judge. An Lan said with a burning face.


    No, because the judges words are more logical. Xu Bohan smiled as he leaned over and kissed her cheek.


    An Lan nced sideways, looking at his handsome face that was right in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat.


    So Pretty, so pretty, why is he so good-looking.


    An Lan, I miss you


    An Lan gripped the seatbelt beside her with a throbbing heart.


    After parting ways, she turned to look out the window and said awkwardly, It smells like coffee.


    Mmm chocte. Xu Bohan gripped the steering wheel tightly and his eyes were filled with deep gentleness.


    With this dy, it was already 10:40 pm when they arrived at the snack shop.


    Xu Bohan noticed a long line of cars parked outside the shop, Looks like this night snack shop tastes pretty good.

 Chapter 1871. My Responsibility is Being Beautiful as Flowers And Yours is Making Money for the Fami

    Chapter 1871. My Responsibility is Being Beautiful as Flowers And Yours is Making Money for the Fami


    Its alright, the ribs here are delicious, An Lan said, looking at him, Its not the kind of restaurants with home cooking dishes that you normally go to, Is It alright?


    Those kind of restaurants may have already closed being sote. Xu Bohan pushed the door open and got out.


    The two of them went upstairs and found a seat by the window.


    Xu Bohan only ordered one of the ribs from the midnight snack shop then letting An Lan make her orders.


    An Lan looked at the marked ribs and smiled, Then what do you want to eat?


    You can order it. I dont know whats good here, just add the fried rice with scrambled eggs for me Xu Bohan said.


    An Lan finally ordered a dish of fried ms, fried crabs, and congee, because it was the season for crabs.


    After the dishes were served, An Lan suddenly realized that Xu Bohan was only eating the fried rice with scrambled eggs.


    She frowned, Arent you going to eat something else?


    Xu Bohan drank some congee when he heard that.


    Dont tell me I have to eat so many crabs, ms and ribs all by myself? An Lan finally now realized, How can I finish them all?


    Im full. Xu Bohan said honestly.


    An Lan rolled her eyes, How can you not be full after eating such a big bowl of fried rice? If I were to have night snack with you, one bowl of fried rice with scrambled eggs for each of us would be enough.


    My usual night snacks are fried rice or noodles, Xu Bohan said honestly,I dont eat much else.


    Then you should have made it clear from the start. I cant finish all the dishes that I ordered. An Lan felt that it was a downer. Nigh snack was something that could only be enjoyed with someone eating with you, I dont care, you have to eat these with me.


    Xu Bohan didnt like being forced, but when he saw An Lan forcing him, he didnt know why, but the more he looked at her, the more he liked her, and the more he wanted to listen to her.


    Okay. He ate the crab obediently.


    After eating for a while, An Lan felt a little guilty. He had eaten so much earlier, would it cause his stomach to explode.


    Just as she was hesitating whether to say anything, he suddenly brought the peeled crab to her lips.


    An Lan opened her mouth and ate.


    He was delighted and fed her even more frequently.


    In the end, An Lan was so stuffed that she couldnt bear it anymore.


    Its over, if I continue eating like this with you, Ill definitely gain weight. An Lan said gloomily.


    You might look better if you gain some weight. Xu Bohan looked at her for a while and told her the truth.


    An Lan raised her head, Speaking of which, all of the judgess wife seem to be chubby.


    Thats not chubby, Xu Bohan corrected her, Thats a form of happiness because judges love their wives very much.


    An Lan smiled, Dont try to fool me. I remember that you judges are all very busy. Thest time I went to the court, I saw Judge Liu in your court being threatened.


    Xu Bohans expression darkened at the mention of this matter. This is amon urrence in the court. Many people are not satisfied with the verdict, and its alsomon for some extreme people toe and cause trouble. Threats and intimidation are a small matter, and some people will evene andmit suicide.


    An Lan sighed, Have you encountered this before?


    Xu Bohan nodded.


    An Lans heart suddenly felt a faint pain.


    But its still alright. Its even harder for the enforcement judge, and its even more tiring, Xu Bohan suddenly smiled, But no matter how tiring we are, we will carry it on our own. It definitely wont affect the happiness of our wives.


    An Lan smiled as she propped up her chin, Im sorry, I dont want to be happy. I just want to be as beautiful as a flower for the rest of my life.


    Mm, then I can only be responsible for earning money to support my family. Xu Bohan picked up another piece of m meat and passed it over.


    No, An Lan turned her face away, her lower lip curling slightly, looking rather cute.


    Xu Bohans deepened his gaze.

 Chapter 1872. He Used to be Like a Doberman, But Now He was a Big Golden

    Chapter 1872. He Used to be Like a Doberman, But Now He was a Big Golden


    Xu Bohan couldnt figure it out.


    It was just a simple movement, but why did he find it cuter the more he looked at it? He wanted to hug her and pamper her, but he couldnt be too abrupt and could not scare her away.


    He was in his early thirties, but he seemed to have fallen back to his early twenties.


    Lets go after we finish eating. An Lan stood up as it was gettingte.


    Xu Bohan paid the bill and got into the car, I have an interview tomorrow night at the Xia City Evening News. I wonder how long Ill stay busy until.


    An Lan was stunned. After a while, she looked him up and down, Not bad, Judge Xu is about to appear on the news. Your director has a good eye. If he pushes you up, he might be able to make the young girls outside yearn for the judge.


    I just want you to look up to me. Xu Bohan held her hands and yed with them. Even though it was veryte, he was reluctant to drive away.


    Was he going to flirt again?


    An Lans face was red, and she braced herself and said, I will watch the news then. Remember to wear something nice.


    But I dont know how to match it. Xu Bohan was stunned and told her the truth.


    An Lan mumbled in her heart. He was using his good looks to do whatever he wanted with his appearance. The ck sweater you worest time was pretty good, it was sexy.


    Xu Bohan understood and was amused, So you like me to wear a ck sweater, Ill wear it for you next time.


    After he said that, he leaned towards her.


    An Lan suddenly felt that the air was thin. Was he going to kiss her again?


    As two people who had just started dating, werent they kissing too frequently?


    However, she realized that she was thinking too much. He just leaned closer to her and rubbed his hair against her. He looked a little like a big dog, but she used to think that he looked like a Doberman. Why did he be a big Golden Retriever now.


    An Lan turned around and held her breath, With your figure, you look pretty good in a sweater. It doesnt have to be ck. Actually, a shirt is not bad either.


    Okay, I got it.


    He replied in a low voice as he smelled the delicate fragrance on her body. In the future, he would wear a sweater and a shirt when he went out with her.


    This time, he sent her to the gate of the neighbourhood. After getting out of the car and opening the door, he was not in a hurry to let her go. Instead, he hugged her and said, An Lan, are you watching dramas?


    Yes, I am.An Lan felt weak from being hugged by him. After all, this was the gate of the neighbourhood. Usually, there would be a lot of familiar faces going in and out. The two of them were not teenagers, so hugging each other like this was quite embarrassing, Youre not looking for me to watch a drama again, right? I think we should wait until youre free that day, in case you stand me up again.


    Ill definitely be free the day after tomorrow, Ill buy a ticket when I get back, Xu Bohan hugged her tightly for a while, kissing her forehead before letting her go, Lets go back.


    An Lan turned back to look at him, why did she feel that Xu Bohan was like a wolf, covetously eyeing her.


    When they entered the neighbourhood, the security guard smiled and said, Lawyer An, youve found a boyfriend.


    An Lan was embarrassed. She had lived here for a few years and the security guard had already known her.


    I saw that car send you to the door a few times. Congrattions.the security guard said sincerely.


    An Lan nodded.


    The next day, Aunt Ji Jia called and asked her to go over for dinner.


    It had been a long time since shest went to her aunts house. An Lan bought skincare products and went over. As soon as she entered the house, Ji Jia beamed, Why didnt you bring Judge Xu Over?


    An Lan staggered and looked at her aunt helplessly, Youre as well-informed as ever.


    Please, Im the one who introduced the two of you.Ji Jia epted the skincare products naturally,Youre giving them to me, right? You should. Im introducing you to such a handsome and professional man. Back then, you insisted that he was no good. How long has it been since youve thrown yourself into his arms?

 Chapter 1873. Are They Crazy

    Chapter 1873. Are They Crazy


    An Lans face was burning. It was as if she had pped herself in the face.


    Her uncle rolled his eyes at his wife, Alright, its not like enemies donte together. As time goes by, love will develop. Moreover, An Lan has to go to the courthouse frequently, so they have to see each other often. As time goes by, the love seeds grow.


    Thats true.Ji Jia nodded. The two of them chimed in, as if they had witnessed the entire process of their rtionship.


    An Lan forcefully changed the topic, How did you know? Weve only been dating for three days.


    Auntie Chen said it, the one who introduced me to Judge Xu.Ji Jia scooped some rice for her, And Xu Bohan added me on Wechat today.


    An Lan was stunned, but she frowned, displeased.


    She didnt like the fact that the man had gotten close to her family so soon after they started dating. If they were to get married, it would be a natural oue and she didnt like to be persuaded by her family.


    He just asked me what you like,Ji Jia could read her mind, He said he wanted to get to know you better, but he didnt tter me.


    An Lan finally felt relieved, Although we are dating, it hasnt been long. It still depends on whether the two of us are suitable. Auntie, dont tell him too much.


    I didnt say anything,Ji Jia sighed, Im really happy for you. I hope you can meet someone who understands you and have your own family. Your parents are getting more and more outrageous.


    Whats wrong? An Lan raised her eyebrows.


    Ji Jia shook her head, A few days ago, your parents came to see me. They said that An Nings illness hasnt improved at all in the mental hospital. I dont know where they heard the news that theres a mental hospital in Shanghai that has excellent medical treatment. Theres a drug that can improve the brains sensitivity, but its a little more expensive. One treatment costs 50,000 yuan and two treatments per month. They want to transfer An Ning there.


    An Lans temples throbbed, Are they crazy? Ive consulted a lot of people about this mental hospital. Its already very good. If there was such a good hospital in Shanghai, I would have sent An Ning there myself.


    Ji Jia sighed, They probably wanted me to advise you but I didnt. They got more muddle-headed as they got older. Some hospitals arent that easy to trust. Nowadays, many ces are just using pyramid schemes to scam people.


    An Lan suddenly felt tired. She had a feeling that her parents wouldnt let it go just like that.


    However, she was still afraid that An Zhehui and his wife would go around borrowing money. These two were willing to do anything for An Ning.


    After returning home, she gave An Zhehui a call. An Ahehui said, Your call came at the right time as I was about to visit you recently


    Where did you hear that the hospital was good? An Lan asked.


    Your mother heard it when she was square dancing.


    An Lan was so angry that sheughed.


    I know you might not believe me if I told you directly, An Zhehui said, I even specially contacted the doctor at the hospital and told him about the situation. The doctor said that they had cured many people with An Nings cases. You dont want your sister to be crazy for the rest of her life right?You cant give up when theres an opportunity. Our family isnt a family that cant afford eating without that much of money


    Youre right, An Lan didnt want to confront them directly, Tell me the name of the hospital and the doctors contact information. Ill check it out thoroughly. If Its true, Ill definitely send her over.

 Chapter 1874. Who Said That? You are Quite Adorable to Me Now

    Chapter 1874. Who Said That? You are Quite Adorable to Me Now


    An Zhehui was quite cooperative and he immediately forwarded all the relevant information about the hospital to her on WeChat.


    An Lan contacted the doctor over there and listened to his nagging for more than half an hour. She couldnt hang up the phone even if she wanted to. In the end, she got annoyed and said, I think I understand everything. Ill think about it. Goodbye..


    After hanging up, she consulted Doctor Han. Doctor Han was Nian Juntings private doctor who was currently the chief physician of a hospital in Xia City and a member of the German Medical Association.


    After listening to her, Doctor Han said, Dont believe in such things. If mental illness is so easy to treat nowadays, why do so many patients often hurt people? Nowadays, some unscrupulous private hospitals took advantages of the family member of the patients who eagerly want to cure their loved ones. They will do anything, especially to cheat the middle-aged and elderly people of their money.


    I understand.


    An Lan wondered how she could convince her parents about this matter. If she didnt do well, they would misunderstand her again. Misunderstanding was secondary and money being cheated wasnt priority either. She was mainly afraid that An Nings illness would get worse and worse.


    She was very troubled.


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door.


    After she saw clearly who it was through the peephole, she opened the door in shock. Xu Bohan was wearing that ck sweater and stood outside the door with a cold aura.


    Why are you here sote?


    I bought you some food, Xu Baohan lifted the fruit and cake in his hand, Ive been calling you, but I couldnt get through. I had no choice but toe up myself. Its a good thing youre home.


    Yes, I was on the phone about something. An Lan turned to let him in.


    Xu Bohan ced the things on the table. They were all cherries, strawberries and kiwi fruits that she loved.


    My Aunt told you that? An Lan was surprised.


    You know that I added your aunt on WeChat? Xu Bohan did not answer her question directly.


    Yes, I went to her house for dinner. An Lan brushed her hair, Bohan, we just fell in love and I didnt think about marriage


    I understand, I didnt mean to curry favor with your aunt, and I dont know how to do that with elders, Xu Bohan turned around and hugged her waist, But I feel that your aunt is very good to you, she understands you better than your parents, I want to know more about you. Oh right, your aunt sent me a message tonight saying that you might be in a bad mood today, why didnt she tell me?


    An Lan rubbed her forehead speechlessly, My aunt is really boring.


    Its not boring, Xu Bohan lowered his head and said, Whether youre in a good mood or not is very important to me, and I need to bear it with you.


    An Lans heart trembled. She raised her head and met his dark eyes. At that moment, his words actually made her feel a sense of reliance.


    An LAN, I dont know what it is, but I think its normal for everyone not to want to say something embarrassing.


    Xu Bohan frowned as he thought about the truth, But I dont think theres a need for the two of us to hide so much. Ive seen you at your most pathetic state. Your tires were ttened, you were molested, attacked by your ex-boyfriend, beaten by your parents. You know the most embarrassing part about me. My parents dont like me. When my ex-girlfriend ditched me when we were about to get married and quickly got together with another man. I dont have many friends because I dont know how to get along with others. Im not likable


    The more An Lan listened, the more ufortable she became. She reached out to cover his mouth, Who said that? You are quite adorable to me now.


    Xu Bohan looked at her. He couldnt see his mouth, but his eyes were filled with joy.

 Chapter 1875. Did They Apologize for Beating You Up Last Time

    Chapter 1875. Did They Apologize for Beating You Up Last Time


    An Lans face was burning as she let go of him. She lowered her head and said, Actually, its not a big deal. Its just that my parents want to transfer An Ning to another hospital.


    She briefly exined the hospitals situation.


    Xu Bohan instantly understood,Nowadays, there are always so many private hospitals taking advantages of loopholes. To put it bluntly, these medicines are a type of pyramid scheme, but thew cant do anything about them.


    Thats right,An Lan sighed, How can my parents have so much money? When the timees, they will still ask me for it. Why should I be cheated of my money? But if I tell them, they will probably say that Im stingy and think that I dont want to treat An Ning. An Ning is still my biological sister, if they can treat her, how could I not


    Dont say anymore, I know. Sun Xiaoxiao is also mentally ill, I know all these aspects.Xu Bohan pulled her to sit down.


    An Lan was so upset that she didnt notice that she was sitting on hisp. She continued, You cant do it the hard way. When the timees, theyll have to borrow money everywhere and Ill still be the one to pay it back. The worst case scenario would be to borrow money from loan sharks.


    An Lan, let me persuade your parents, Xu Bohan suddenly said, Im a judge, my words are more reliable.


    An Lan was stunned, But my parents have seen you before, theyll think that Im on your side.


    Mm, if I cant do it the easy way, then do it the hard way, Xu Bohan smiled, An Lan, your sisters illness cant be cured in a day or two. Your parents are always using this to bully you, you cant keep doing this. Last time, they just beat you up, did they apologize? Now, they are rushing to ask you for money, your heart is still too soft so they just see that you are easy to bully.


    An Lans had her mouth wide opened and she didnt know what he was trying to do, Eh about that I heard that your parents got divorced because of you


    Xu Bohan nced at her silently, Youre afraid that Ill cause your parents to get a divorce if I appear. Dont worry, a husband and wife like your parents, who vent their anger in the same way and are so unreasonable, will definitely not get a divorce. My parents are purely not in a good rtionship for many years. Some people who dont know the truth like to me me.


    Oh. An Lan thought of the unaware Nian Junting.


    Leave it to me, dont let your imagination run wild. Xu Bohan hugged her intimately, his chin resting on her head.


    An Lan only regained her senses when she felt a little warm. Oh God, what position were they in now? She was sitting on hisp, and he was hugging her with both hands. There was no gap between them at all.


    YouAn Lan patted his arm in embarrassment, Are you trying to be a hoodlum when Im in a bad mood? Let me go.


    Alright, Ill go wash the fruits forwyer An. Xu Bohan stood up with a smile, carrying the fruits to the kitchen obediently. Since he had hugged her earlier, he had also secretly kissed her.


    An Lan looked at his back view, her initially frustrated heart suddenly felt at ease.


    The next day, during lunch break, at the court, Archives Room.


    Su Run returned to work at two oclock and saw his boss sitting at the table, eating bread while flipping through the files. He was shocked, Chief Judge, you didnt even go to lunch today? Why are you flipping through the files? Is there any big case that you need to refer to the previous files?


    No,Xu Bohan shook his head without raising his head, An Lans parents met some medicalpanies that are simr to pyramid schemes. I want to look for some relevant cases to remind those two old people.


    Su Run was speechless,You didnt even eat lunch just for this?


    Yes, we cant dy work time. We can only rely on rest time.Xu Bohan said without lifting his head.

 Chapter 1876. He Was Always the One Giving When the Two were Together

    Chapter 1876. He Was Always the One Giving When the Two were Together


    Su Run whimpered, Leader, if I knew you were so good, I would have introduced my cousin to you back then.


    His cousin worked in the Procuratorate and didnt dare to mention it back then because his leader was a workaholic.


    Xu Bohan didnt even raise his head and his expression indifferent, Im sorry, I dont like your cousin. Is there any woman in this world more shrewd than An Lan?


    How could you describe a woman as shrewd.


    Su Run was embarrassed, Could it be that you likewyer An because of her beauty?


    Xu Bohan nced at him, not understanding why he had brought out such a shallow assistant, There are plenty of beautiful women on the streets, stic surgery ces are everywhere. I admire her calmness, soberness and shrewdness even more.


    Su Run suddenly thought of his girlfriend, who had nothing but beauty, and suddenly felt that he was so shallow.


    When it was almost time to get off work, An Lan called to say that she was at the court to discuss some matters with a client. She woulde over to look for himter, so he didnt need toe pick her up.


    Xu Bohan readily agreed as the distance between thew firm and the court was too far. During peak hours, it would sometimes take an hour on the road which create huge inconvenience for both of them who were rtively busy people.


    At 5:20, An Lan was waiting at the entrance of the court. Many people in the court knew her, especially after they found out that she was dating Xu Bohan, so there were always people who came up to greet her and congratte her.


    After dealing with numerous number of people, a young man in a ck suit and tie appeared beside her, smiling. Lawyer An, Hello, Im Su Run.


    An Lan immediately recalled that she had seen such a person sitting beside Xu Bohan in the past. It was Xu Bohans judge assistant.


    Hello,she quickly shook his hand, Is your presiding judge off duty?


    When he was about to leave, the secretary came over at thest minute to talk to him about the court hearing in the afternoon. It should be soon, Su Run said with a smile, Are you guys going on a date? Oh right, remember to eat something delicious tonight. The presiding judge didnt even eat lunch, he only ate bread. Hes been in the reference room investigating cases of medical fraud.


    An Lan was stunned. She was a smart woman and immediately understood that Xu Bohan was doing this for her, So busy that he didnt even have time for lunch?


    It has been quite busy ecently, Su Run exined, Theres a judge in the hospital whos on maternity leave. The workload of each judge is much heavier than before, and the Chief Judge doesnt want to waste his work time on personal matters, so he can only use his lunchtime.


    An Lans heart trembled. She knew that Xu Bohan had a lot of work to do, but she didnt expect it to be so much more. Furthermore, under such a busy situation, he woulde to her every night, and he was also so attentive towards her parents matters.


    It seemed like he had said to hand it over to him because he wanted to pull out the old cases about medical frauds to warn her parents.


    When she thought about the two of them together, he was always the one giving, but she seemed to have given very little.


    She suddenly felt ashamed. Perhaps she had been hurt before, so she was always careful.


    Assistant Su, thank you,An Lan took out her phone, Can I add you on WeChat?


    Of course.Su Run was ted. He had been waiting for this moment. He didnt even have the girlfriend of the leader on WeChat, how could he be a good assistant.


    After exchanging WeChat messages, Su Run left. About ten minutester, Xu Bohan came down. He was wearing a jacket on the outside and a grey sweater on the inside. He was tall and slender.

 Chapter 1877. He Said That You Were Eating Bread in the Reference Room the Entire LunChapter Time.

    Chapter 1877. He Said That You Were Eating Bread in the Reference Room the Entire LunChapter Time.


    An Lan smiled as she went up to hold his arm, Youre wearing a sweater again today.


    Xu Bohan was stunned, his gaze sweeping past the hand on his shoulder. For the first time, she took the initiative to hold his arm.


    His cold lips curled and he turned to look at her, Didnt you say that I look good in a sweater?


    But do you have that many sweaters? An Lan raised her clear eyes, The weather has turned cold, lets go shopping together some time. Ill pick out a few clothes for you and buy some for myself.


    Sure, well go together on Sunday break.Xu Bohan hugged her tightly.


    It was just after work, and many colleagues were in the hall when they saw the two of them and started sizing them up.


    Xu Bohan didnt mind, and An Lan was a little embarrassed, but she didnt let go. On the way, she bumped into a few young women who were looking at her resentfully.


    Thinking about it, it was actually normal. With Xu Bohans position and appearance, it wouldnt be normal if he didnt have a crush.


    After getting into the Audi, An Lan smiled and said, I just realized that someone had a crush on Chief Judge Xu in the court.


    Xu Bohan was confused. Who? I dont even know.


    I wont tell you,An Lan shook her head and took out her phone to look for a ce to eat, How about having hotpot tonight?


    Yes.


    Is it alright if you dont go to a restaurant with home cooking dishes? An Lan asked.


    When Xu Bohan heard her, he suddenly missed the taste of a such a restaurant, but he still said, I only ate at noon.


    An Lan turned back and stared at him without moving.


    Xu Bohan felt guilty, Whats wrong?


    I bumped into your assistant at the door. He said that you were eating bread in the reference room An Lan directly exposed him.


    Xu Bohans handsome face instantly turned a thinyer of red. He secretly marked Su Run for being too talkative.


    He said that youre investigating medical cases for my parents, right?An Lans gaze was still fixed at him, and thewyers gaze seemed to be able to see through a persons heart.


    Xu Bohan once again held a grudge against Su Run, he had no choice but to nod, Ive thought it through. Ill analyze various cases and tell your parents. If they dont listen, Ill use force. Sometimes, the elderly are too pedantic and stubborn, I cant indulge them, of course I need you to cooperate with me.


    An Lan nodded.


    Xu Baohan was surprised, If you dont ask clearly, do you know how to cooperate with me?


    I know.An Lan suddenly moved closer, a sly smile hanging on her lips, I understand. Didnt you say that were very simr, so I understand what youre saying.


    Xu Bohan stiffened as he looked at the face that was moving closer and closer with his breathing turning heavy.


    It was too seductive, how could she get closer and closer to him? Her smile was so beautiful and her words were so seductive, and it was a pleasant surprise.


    But dont work so hard next time, An Lan said softly, Arent you tired recently? No matter what, you still have to eat. If youre too busy and have to work overtime at night, you dont have to keeping over to visit me. I cane to the courtyard to apany you.


    Xu Bohan cupped her little face and darken his gaze, Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?


    Because I feel in the past, I might have been too cautious about rtionships. I was always afraid that if I put in more effort, I would get hurt,An Lan shrugged self-deprecatingly, Why havent I got married at 29? Its because Im afraid. I dont want anyone to hurt me.


    I wont.Xu Bohan ced a hand on the back of her head and kissed her.

 Chapter 1878. It Is Not Cloying, It Is That We Are In Love

    Chapter 1878. It Is Not Cloying, It Is That We Are In Love


    After eating hotpot that night, the two of them watched a drama together.


    Speaking of which, this was their first serious date apart from dinner. After entering the venue, the two of them sat in row 13.


    An Lan felt that it was alright and this drama was pretty ssic too. After watching it for a while, she looked at Xu Bohan beside her and saw that he had been squinting his eyes the entire time, You cant see clearly?


    Xu Bohan nodded awkwardly.


    An Lan realized that he was near-sighted, Then you dont deserve sses?


    Yes, I left them in the car. I forgot.


    Thus, during the second half of the show, Xu Bohan went to the car to get his sses. An Lan bought an ice cream when she was bored.


    After Xu Bohan returned, she exined, I didnt know if you would eat it or now so I didnt buy for you.


    Okay, Ill eat it.Xu Bohan nodded.


    Then lets go buy one for you. An Lan stood up, but just as she took a step forward, she was pulled into Xu Bohans arms.


    Its enough for us to eat one,he whispered into her ear.


    An Lans mind went nk. Wasnt that just like an indirect kiss? Its not enough, I eat quite a lot by myself.


    Then Ill eat a little. Xu Bohan was exceptionally determined.


    This was the ice cream that he was determined to get from her.


    An Lan had no choice but to share one with him in the end. He ate very little, but every time, he would take a small bite at the ce where she had bitten, causing ones heart to go soft.


    After the drama started, it became quiet inside. At the back, a pair of young university students could be heard whispering.


    Do you see those two uncle and auntie in front? Tsk tsk, they are really getting tired of eating ice cream together.


    Thats right, the uncles and auntie nowadays are really inferior to us when ites to dating.


    An Lan was so angry that she forgot to be embarrassed. She turned to Xu Bohan and said, Do we look very old? They look so old yet they still call us uncles and Auntie.


    No, Xu Bohan patted his head and exined calmly, Young people these days always think that they are very young. They call everyone auntie on the streets just to find a bnce in their hearts. Dont bother with such childish people.


    An Lan nodded and reflected, Are we really being too lovey-dovey?


    On the way, she had seen girls and boys around eighteen or neen years old falling in love.


    No, were in love.Xu Bohan said as he took out a pair of gold-rimmed round-rimmed sses from his pocket and put them on.


    An Lan was stunned as the round-rimmed sses were usually hard to style with and tested the shape of the face. When she was at the filmpany, she had seen many popr young men wear them, but when Xu Bohan put them on, they were filled with a cold, elegant, and ascetic aura which was so exquisite that they could Seckill a lot of young men.


    Whats wrong? Someone turned his head unconsciously.


    nothing.An Lan took a deep breath and secretly told herself that she had seen a lot of things such as Nian Junting, Mo Liuxi, and other handsome men who she got tired of alreayd, so she shouldnt be easily seduced by men, Your sses are quite trendy.


    Yeah, Su Run helped me choose them,Xu Bohan said faintly, I dont really like them, the square sses are fine.


    An Lan suddenly realized that she was puzzled. A person like him would not buy such trendy sses, so it was the assistant, Theyre good, the sses are not bad, the quality must be very good.


    It wasnt until half an hour after the second half, when he noticed that she had secretly looked back at him countless times, that he realized that something was wrong. It hadnt been like this before during the first half.

 Chapter 1879. Xu Bohan Discovered That An Lan Has A Thing With Glasses

    Chapter 1879. Xu Bohan Discovered That An Lan Has A Thing With sses


    Am I that good-looking?Xu Bohan caught her gaze.


    An Lans face silently turned red in the dim theater.


    An Lan screamed in her heart. Not only was he good-looking, he was too abstinent.


    Its alright, she added vaguely,Im not used to the way you wear sses.


    How about thisXu Baohan took off his sses.


    An Lan:


    Put it on,An Lan advised sincerely, Otherwise, you wont be able to see it.


    Then let it be if I cant see it. Its better than you thinking me not good-looking,Xu Bohan said inly.


    An Lan was anxious, I didnt say that its not pretty.


    Stopforting me. Xu Bohan frowned. He knew that it was Su Runs fault that he didnt look good in his round sses.


    Theyre really pretty, An Lan had no choice but to bite the bullet, Its because theyre pretty that I keep looking at you.


    Xu Bohan turned to look at her. He looked into her big bright eyes and was sure that she wasnt lying.


    Theyre really pretty? He put on his sses again and leaned towards her.


    An Lan stared at him without blinking with her heart racing, Theyre pretty.


    It looked even better when they were so close.


    Xu Baohan then realized that An Lan had a thing with sses. Oh, right, she had almost forgotten that He Mingqian also wore sses.


    He kissed her fiercely, swearing that he would wear sses from now on.


    After kissing her, he asked, An Lan, do you like any man who looks good with sses, just like you liked He Mingqian back then?


    An LAN was stunned. She felt a strong sense of jealousy and quickly exined, I didnt like him, I just had a good impression of him. And I thought I could give it a try with that good impression.


    Xu Bohan was finally satisfied. He pulled her over and asked, Do you like me then?


    An Lans gorgeous face still turned red after being asked so directly.


    Dont run away, dont beat around the bush.Xu Baohan said.


    An Lan had no choice but to avoid his gaze and hide behind his ear. She whispered in his ear, I like you.


    Xu Bohans heart skipped a beat and he sucked in a breath of hot air. If you say you like it, then you like it. Why did you have to whisper it in his ear? You even said it in such a pleasant manner that was powerful enough to seduce someone to death.


    However, looking at her innocent eyes, he knew that she definitely didnt know.


    She just had a beautiful face. She looked like an experienced lover and a vixen, but actually he didnt even want to give a description.


    After watching the drama, Xu Bohan sent her home.


    This time, he parked his car at the entrance of the neighbourhood and personally sent her home.


    Dont go through so much trouble, our neighbourhood is quite safe. An Lan said.


    I know, I want to apany you for a walk, its still early anyway.


    Since Xu Bohan had already said so, An Lan apanied him for a stroll around the neighbourhood. Luckily, the neighbourhoods scenery was pretty good, so when she to the entrance, he hugged her for a while.


    Just as she was about to let go, a mans voice suddenly came from behind.


    An Lan, when did you find a boyfriend?


    The two of them turned around and only then did they notice An Ahehui and Ji Qian walking out of the neighbourhood building, looking at them in shock.


    Why are you here?An Lan frowned, having a bad premonition.


    Of course were here to look for you.Ji Qian walked over and sized Xu Baohan up. Oh, I remember now. Arent you the one from the mental hospital? How did you two get together? What do you do?


    Uncle, Auntie, Im Xu Bohan.Xu Bohan exined calmly as he held An Lans hand. I work in the court, my position is a judge.

 Chapter 1880. Disappointed And Chilling

    Chapter 1880. Disappointed And Chilling


    An Zhehui and Ji Qian were stunned when they heard that.


    A judge, that was a very powerful position.


    They didnt expect their daughter to find such a man to be her boyfriend.


    Both of them worked in the office at the admired government departments with secured positions that wouldnt be easily unemployed. As for Nian Junting, whom their daughter used to like, An Zhehui and his wife thought that their family was too cold and heartless as if they thought that they were superior just because they had a few dors. They didnt have any manners, and they didnt put anyone in their eyes. They thought that they were stupid and easy to bully.


    Hello, hello, Bohan, right? An Zhehui shook his hand, Were An Lans parents.


    I know, we met at the mental hospitalst time,Xu Bohan nodded.


    An zhehui and Ji Qian suddenly remembered that they had beaten up An Lan at the hospitalst time so they were a little embarrassed, but they quickly understood that they were An Lans parents so he had to be polite no matter what.


    Oh, oh, oh, how long have you two been dating?An Zhehui changed the topic. When do you n to het married?


    Dad, Mom,An Lan couldnt take it any longer and interrupted, You should go home early. Ille and look for you tomorrow.


    Its already sote, do you trust us to go home ourselved?Ji Qian frowned,Today, were mainly here to look for you. Were nning to spend the night here. I want to talk to you about An Ning, you have to give me an answer.


    Ji Qian had already thought it through. It was rare for her daughter to find a man as tall, handsome, and powerful as Xu Bohan, so she definitely wanted to cherish him and mention the matter of helping An Ning in front of him, in order to protect her good reputation of being filial and loving towards her younger sister in front of Xu Bohan, she would definitely agree to An Nings transfer.


    She had her own intentions, and An Lan was a smart person, so she immediately understood.


    However, she was also extremely disappointed and chilling. What if Xu Bohan didnt understand her character? Her parents wouldnt be making things difficult for her if they said this in front of him. If things went wrong, Xu Bohan would even misunderstand that she was a heartless person.


    An Zhehui also understood his wifes meaning. He immediately smiled sheepishly at Xu Bohan and said, You might not know this, but An Lans biological sister is currently in a mental hospital due to trauma. We went to see herst time. I heard that theres a hospital in Shanghai


    I know, An Lan told me about it yesterday.Xu Bohan interrupted him.


    An Zhehui was stunned and nodded, Its good that youve heard of it. Then help persuade An Lan. Her sisters illness needs to be treated as soon as possible. Its heartbreaking to see her acting so crazily every day.


    Xu Bohans expression remained calm andposed, After I found out about this, I immediately told An Lan that it might be a scam. Then, I asked my friend at the hospital to find out more. My Friend said that the medicine isnt that miraculous. Currently, the best medicine is avable at Xia Citys mental hospital. A rtive of mine is also treating her illness there and now many health clinics are using the slogan of curing her illness as false advertising. They say its direct marketing, but in reality, theyre doing it just like a pyramid scheme.


    A pyramid scheme?Ji Qian frowned, How could such a good hospital be a pyramid scheme?


    An Lan wanted to sneer. Didnt these two people know how to read the news to gain more knowledge.


    Fortunately, Xu Bohan was a patient person and continued to seriously discuss with the two old men, Quan Jian, who caused amotion a while ago, did you know that he still has a hospital? How many people have been cheated and how many patients have been harmed? The closest example is at the Xia city. Our court has handled many cases and many private hospitals have done a good job in publicity. When the patients families went for consultations, the doctors talked so much and in the end, hundreds of thousands of dors were thrown in but nothing could be cured and the cases were filed in courts. There are countless cases like this.

 Chapter 1881. Do You Think That If You Marry An Lan, The Money Will Also Be Yours

    Chapter 1881. Do You Think That If You Marry An Lan, The Money Will Also Be Yours


    An Zhehui nodded. What you said is not impossible, but you cant say that the hospital in Shanghai is fake.


    An Lan couldnt help but say, Didnt you say that you consulted the hospitals doctor?


    Is your friend a psychiatrist? Ji Qian asked, If he wasnt, how would he know? Furthermore, the doctors in Shanghai might be more knowledgeable than the doctors in Xia City. I had a friend who couldnt be cured in Xia City. In the end, he made a trip to Shanghai and now he is still alive and kicking.


    Xu Baohan said, If it was a regr hospital, of course it would be possible. However, private hospitals are all for profit. We also called that hospital and asked them to give us the name of the medicine, but they couldnt give us the exact name. I guess they developed it themselves and probably didnt get the countrys approval through the proper channels.


    Thats just your guess. Theres no doctors consultation and you didnt even pay for it. How could she tell you the name of the medicine? Ji Qian retorted. Besides, if there are so many quack doctors, you judges should sentence them to close down that type of hospital when they are at court. Otherwise, what are the judicial authorities for?


    Mom, the judicial authorities are working very hard to maintain order, but there are still some traps that you have to be on your guard against. An Lan really couldnt take it anymore. Ive already contacted the doctor from that hospital. His tone is almost like that of a salesman. Cant you tell? Also, which doctor from the official hospital will always call you every day?


    Since yesterday, that doctor had taken the trouble to make three to four calls.


    In short, you just dont want to fork out this money, right? Ji Qian could finally see it. Dont worry, I dont n on taking your money. Was it An Ningswsuit? That heartless manpensated more than a million dors. Give us that money and Ill treat An Nings illness. You as a sister dont want to care about her anymore. We cant just leave her.


    Its precisely because its An Nings money that I cant let you guys be cheated by others, An Lan said angrily, Who knows when An Nings illness will be cured? When she wakes up, shell at least have some money in her hands. Shell have a future. Besides, Ive already used her money to buy a fund under her name.


    Oh, youre using An Nings money to invest. You just want to keep that money for yourself. Youve fallen into a money pit, Ji Qian said angrily. You already have so much money, and yet you didnt even let go of your sisters money. You dont even have a bottom line.


    An Zhehui sighed and said kindly, An Lan, take out the money, it belongs to your sister.


    An Lan was so angry that she could vomit blood.


    Xu Baohan pulled her behind him gently, his gaze turning colder inch by inch. If itspensation money, then ording to what I know, the case was won because of An Lan. It wasnt worth topensate more than a million dors for a cut on her face, it was all because of An Lan. Furthermore, An Nings expenses from the hospital to the mental hospital were all paid by An Lan. In addition to the money An Lan would have to pay in the future, theres no reason for you to ask for money from An Lan.


    Ji Qian flew into a rage. Since when did you have the right to interfere in our familys matters? Is being a judge that great? Dont tell me youre thinking of taking our familys money? Do you think that if you marry An Lan, the money will be yours too?


    An Lan rubbed her face, she truly felt embarrassed. If it were any other man, he would have long been scared away by her parents.

 Chapter 1882. From Now On, All Her Money Would Belong to Our Little Family

    Chapter 1882. From Now On, All Her Money Would Belong to Our Little Family


    Thats right, in the future, I want to marry An Lan, so all the money in An Lans hands has to be approved by me.


    Xu Baohans gaze was cold, Initially, I was kind enough to analyze it with you guys, but since you guys didnt listen, theres nothing I can do. An Lan wont pay any money. Oh right, if you guys want to borrow money, An Lan wont repay for you guys. From now on, all her money will belong to our little family.


    An Zhehui couldnt hold it in anymore. Stop dreaming, An Lan is my daughter, when did it be your turn to make the decision? Let me tell you, as long as I dont agree, you guys can forget about getting married. If you want to scheme against the An familys money, dont even think about it.


    Xu Baohan smiled calmly, How has it be your An familys money? Its clearly An Lans hard earned money. Even if its her biological parents, they dont have the right to deprive her of the right to use her own money. Oh right, it seems like you guys havent apologized for the p you have given An Lan at the mental hospitalst time.


    As soon as he finished speaking, his tone involuntarily darkened, and the smile on his face slowly froze.


    Ji Qian and her husband felt an inexplicable sense of fear, but they were already shrouded in anger. Do you know why I hit her? Besides, whats wrong with me hitting my own daughter? She did something wrong, so why cant I teach her a lesson?


    You cant. Xu Baohan let go of An Lan, took a step forward, and walked up to An Zhehui, narrowing his eyes slightly, In the past, when I wasnt around, you guys were unreasonable and bullied An Lan. From now on, with me around, you guys cannot touch her again. Shes no longer alone. You guys are her parents and shes soft-hearted, theres nothing I can do about it, but Im not soft-hearted.


    You you An Zhehui red at him. A momentter, when he saw that he was unmoved, he yelled angrily at An Lan, Say something, is this the man youve found? Break up with him right now, Ive never seen someone so uncultured, he doesnt even know how to respect his elders.


    An Lan understood Xu Baohans thoughts. This time, her parents had made her heart turn cold. In the past, she had endured it, but it was useless. They were getting more and more unreasonable.


    Hes right. An Lan held onto Xu Baohans arm and stood beside him calmly, All these years, youve always pushed An Nings responsibility onto me. Ive had enough. Baohan has given me the warmth I want. In the future, I wont be alone when facing both of you. With his support, I wont be afraid of anything. Besides, I cant always be on An Nings side. I should have my own ns too. In the future, I want to get married and have children too. I really cant spend money recklessly.


    Thats right, you have to give it to our children in the future. Xu Baohan hugged her tenderly. As for your sister To be honest, you should mind your own business. If your parents want to do something, then let them do it. Why bother? Isnt there a saying that a married daughter is like water sshed out? They dont treat you well, and they even beat you up in the past, treating you like amodity. Its enough that you have me. In any case, you have to keep the money firmly in your hands. Even if its your parents, you cant give it to them. Your parents arent reliable either.


    I understand. An Lan raised her head and looked at him with an infatuated expression. In this world, you are the only one who treats me the best. You are even better than my parents. Bo Han, I will definitely not let you down.


    An Zhehui and his wife were dumbfounded. An Lan, are you crazy? You actually believe in a man?


    Moreover, this man was extremely shameless, trying to sow discord in front of them.


    Hes not an ordinary man. Hes very handsome and has a lot of charisma, An Lan said with a smile. A lot of what he said makes sense. Ill fall out with whoever stops us.

 Chapter 1883. Frankly Speaking, I Don’t Like It

    Chapter 1883. Frankly Speaking, I Don��t Like It


    Ji Qian and her husband thought that their daughter was really smitten by Xu Baohan, but it was no wonder, as this guy with the surname Xu was quite good-looking.


    An Lan, do you want to sever our rtionship as father and daughter? An Zhehuis fingers trembled.


    An Lan then frowned, but Xu Baohan stroked her hair, he said, Its good to sever it. I think your parents are too uncaring and stubborn. They will definitely borrow money from everywhere, to aviod them and An Ning from implicating you, lets end it today. We will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to get a stamp. Otherwise, there will be no legal effect.


    An Lan looked troubled. But


    An Lan, they will drag you down, Xu Baohan said with a sigh. They only have your sister in their hearts. Why do you have to think so much?


    Alright then, An Lan nodded before looking at An zhehui. Dad, lets draw up an agreement tonight.


    You two An Zhehuis face was red with anger.


    Of course, it was impossible to sever the father-daughter rtionship. He was just saying it out of anger. With An Nings current state, it was uncertain whether she would wake up or not. In the future, the couple would have to rely on An Lan for their funeral.


    You work at the court, right? Ji Qian suddenly sneered at Xu Baohan. Fine, I will go to the court tomorrow and make a scene. I will say that not only did you seduce my daughter and want my daughters property, you even encouraged her to sever her rtionship with us. I will let your people see your true colors.


    An Lan frowned when she heard that. Making such a scene would really affect Xu Baohans reputation and future.


    Okay, you must remember to make a ruckus, Xu Baohan said with a smile. Anyway, there are people making a ruckus at the entrance of our court every now and then, but recently, weve been very strict with them. If they make a ruckus, theyll immediately be arrested and locked up for a month. Also, before you make a ruckus, remember to ask around about my reputation. Im famous for being a cold and heartless judge. A long time ago, I broke off my rtionship with my parents as I was cold-blooded and cruel. My uncle and the others didnt have any contact with me at all. Everyone in the court knows about this.


    An Zhehui and his wife werepletely shocked. From his expression, it didnt seem like he was lying. If what he said was true


    What kind of person had his daughter found.


    An Lan, listen to what he said how could you be with such a person


    It doesnt matter, as long as he treats me well. Besides, its quite good for him to sever his rtionship with his parents. There wont be any conflicts between mother-inw and daughter-inw in the future. An Lan shrugged.


    Its indeed fine. Xu Baohan hugged her gently. It can save you a lot of trouble, especially for people like your parents. Theyre as difficult to deal with as my parents. Fortunately, after severing ties with my parents, Ive been living like a fish in water.


    Thats right. Looks like Ill have to learn from you. An Lan sighed. Lets go up.


    But didnt they say they wanted to stay here? Xu Baohan reminded.


    Do you like it? An Lan stared at him.


    To be honest, I dont like it. Xu Baohan shook his head. Theyre too noisy.


    Its fine if you dont like it. An Lan held his hand and walked in, no longer looking at An Zhehui and his wife behind her.


    Hubby, An Lan, that wretched girl, must have been possessed. Ji Qian stomped her feet anxiously. Why dont we go to the court and cause a ruckus?


    What ruckus? An Zhehui snapped, If we two retirees were really captured, who would save us? An Lan? Shes been bewitched by this person. I think we should go and find out if this Xu Baohan is really cold-blooded and heartless.


    If An Lan really found such a person, it would be a problem for us in terms of relying on her for our funeral, Ji Qian mumbled.

 Chapter 1884. I Took It Seriously

    Chapter 1884. I Took It Seriously


    The moment the elevator door closed, An Lan let out a long sigh of relief.


    Before she could react, her body was pressed against the wall of the elevator. Xu Baohan lowered his head to look down at her, his cold lips curling into a thin smile, causing the atmosphere to suddenly be ambiguous.


    An Lan, we have to get married and have children in the future. We cant spend money recklessly.


    An Lans heart pounded in embarrassment. Wasnt I just trying to fool my parents?


    But I took it seriously. Xu Baohan pressed his head down slowly, his thin lips resting close to hers. They could hear each others breathing. Im not an ordinary man. Im very handsome and charismatic.


    An Lan bit her lips and stammered, If you do this I wont be able to act with you in the future.


    Yes, we wont act, we will stop faking and do it for real.


    After he said that, his handsome face erged once more.


    An Lan felt her thin lips burn, and she couldnt help hugging his waist.


    After a long while, their lips parted, and she took a deep breath. Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong. Eh, why hasnt the elevator reached yet?


    Xu Baohan was stunned as well. He turned his head and couldnt helpughing. I didnt press the elevator button.


    An Lan was embarrassed. Luckily, no one came in during that period of time, otherwise it would have been awkward.


    ..


    After returning home, she entered the house. Before she could change into her shoes, he hugged her from behind once again.


    He buried his face into her shoulder. An Lan, Ill be here for you from now on.


    An Lans body stiffened. She turned to look at his face and her heart suddenly felt suffocated and ufortable. No matter how strong she was, those were her parents. Every move and every word they said just now was poking at her heart.


    Bo Han, Im sorry, my parents were very rude, An Lan said with a bitter smile, It wasnt like this in the past. Ever since the incident with An Ning, because I didnt speak up for An Ning in front of Nian Juntingst year, their misunderstanding of me became deeper and deeper. Unknowingly, it became like this. Of course, perhaps because Im their eldest daughter, they felt that everything was as it should be.


    Xu Baohan looked at her in silence. It had only been a short exchange, but he really felt that her parents were very selfish.


    Ever since I was young, my mother has always said that Im the eldest daughter. In the future, they will have to rely on me and I will have to take care of my younger sister. An Lan shrugged. I study very hard and work very hard to earn money. My parents are very proud people. Back then, I was able to go overseas for study and it brought them great glory. They would tell everyone how outstanding I am, but I dont have An Nings sweet mouth and I dont act coquettishly. Im too firm and inflexible


    Yes, its good to be firm. I like firm, Xu Baohan nodded, his gaze prating. And An Lan, you are firm because you are the eldest daughter. You want to give the best to your family and support them.


    An Lans heart trembled. She felt as if someone had seen through her sturdy shell. Her heart ached, but she didnt say anything. She just pressed her face against his chest.


    She didnt expect Xu Baohan to understand her the most.


    An Lan, we cant choose our parents, but I think youve indulged them too much in the past. In the future, you can only be strong. Xu Baohan caressed her, his eyes narrowed, Dont let them p you again. In the future, you can be as strong as you want, because youre no longer alone.


    An Lan was stunned. After a while, she pursed her lips and nodded with a smile. Okay, in the future, I will pretend to be a woman who has been charmed by you.

 Chapter 1885. The Dreg He Was Here

    Chapter 1885. The Dreg He Was Here


    Yes, your acting skills are indeed not bad. Im not bad either. We are husband and wife, and ourbined effort can help us achieve great things, Xu Baohan said with a faint smile.


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him. Whos your wife? Do you have any shame?


    It will be in the future. I have to get used to it early, Xu Baohan said as he suddenly carried her into the house.


    An Lan was shocked. She suddenly covered her chest. What are you doing?


    She had just asked him to send her off, why did he enter her house for no reason?


    They were all alone, it was easy for something to happen in the middle of the night.


    Nothing, Xu Baohan ced her on the sofa, I dont know when would your parents leave, but since we showed them that you were infatuated with me, they must have thought that we were living together, so I cant leave yet. Lets wait a little longer, you can go take a shower.


    An Lan nced at him warily, raising her eyebrows. After I take a shower, Im exceptionally sexy, and my skin is white with a tinge of red. Who knows if youll be able to control yourself, I wont go for the time being.


    Xu Baohan stared at her for a while, then suddenly pounced on her. I cant control myself anymore.


    The two of themughed on the sofa for a while, then Xu Baohan served her a bowl of noodles before leaving.


    The next day, Xu Baohan went to work at the court. When he passed by the security booth, he said to the security guard, If anyonees to inquire about me, remember to make me sound as cold-blooded and heartless as possible.


    After that, when he left in the afternoon, the security guard at the door called out to him, Chief Judge Xu, you really have a good grasp of things. This morning, a couple really came to inquire about you in a mysterious manner. I followed ording to what you said, the couple looked rather uneasy when they heard it.


    Thats good. Xu Baohan nodded. It seemed like An Zhehui and his wife wouldnt dare to cause trouble for An Lan for the time being.


    Without her parents disturbing her, coupled with the fact that she was in a rtionship, An Lan had been living like a fish in water, sweet and intimate with Xu Baohan.


    Seeing that Xiao Sis wedding was getting closer and closer, An Lan found time to pick out a wedding gift for him in the afternoon.


    Not long after she returned, Yan Wen came in with a frown. Lawyer An, the dreg He is here.


    An Lan was stunned for a moment before she realized that the dreg He she was referring to was He Mingqian. Thinking about it, Song Ruixueswyers letter should have already been sent over. Presumably, when he saw Song Ruixues name, his heart was already trembling with fear.


    Ask him to leave. I have a lot of things to attend to every day. Currently, my hourly sry is up to 2,500 an hour. Hes nothing. An Lanzily turned the pen.


    Yan Wenughed heartily and gave a thumbs up before running out.


    Not long after, He Mingqian barged in.


    Yan Wen followed behind him helplessly. Lawyer An, I told him exactly what you said, but hes so shameless that he insisted oning in and wasting your precious time. But dont worry, Ive already called security.


    An Lan calmly pressed the timer on the table. Lawyer He, hurry up and say it. For speaking to me, itll usually be charged per second.


    He Mingqian was so angry that his heart was twitching. However, when he thought about how that lunatic Xu Baohan had actually found Song Ruixue, he still forced himself to smile, An Lan, actually, Im here to apologize. The reason why I said you were bad was because I loved you too much. I was too deeply in love with you, but you dumped me back then. Thats why I let ove begets hate. Love has made me unrecognizable. I cant even recognize myself.


    An Lan had just picked up her coffee cup when she heard his words. She felt so nauseous that she couldnt drink any more.


    Yan Wen turned around and made a gesture of wanting to throw up.


    He Mingqian was so angry that his face was white and red at the same time.

 Chapter 1886. Xiao Si’s Marriage

    Chapter 1886. Xiao Si��s Marriage


    An Lan clicked her tongue and said, So you can still be embarrassed. A person like you should have learned that one is invincible when one is cheap. Lawyer He, you didnt master the skill of being shameless.


    An Lan What I said is true. He Mingqian gritted his teeth. He had to endure this matter. When he met awyer like Song Ruixue, he had no chance of winning at all.


    Moreover, Song Ruixue had not gone to court for a long time. His first court case after hiseback would definitely attract a lot of attention. When the whole story of this case begins to spread, his reputation would be ruined. What was worse was that the oue after going to court would be even uglier.


    Therefore, for the time being, he could only endure this.


    Do you think Im a pig? An Lan sneered. I know you too well. I remember how you insulted me that day when you stood in the court. Let me tell you, He Mingqian, we have nothing to discuss. Rather thaning to my ce, you might as well go back and find yourself awyer. As for Wan Qis case, you have to be steady. Dont let your client rece you. I will let you lose in my hands.


    He Mingqian clenched his fists tightly, An Lan, dont push it too far. I advise you to leave adequate leeway. You and Xu Baohan are only temporary, maybe hes just ying with you. Song Ruixue wont be able to help you forever. How about this, Illpensate you for the loss of your reputation.


    How much? An Lan crossed her arms in curiosity.


    Eight eight hundred thousand. He mingqian endured the pain and said, For a case of loss of reputation, this is already a huge amount of money.


    An Lan looked at him with disdain. You want to dismiss me with such a small amount of money? Do you think Im a beggar? Theres nothing to talk about. You can leave now.


    After saying that, she pressed the timer. Youre the one who dyed me for twelve minutes today. ording to my hourly wage, Im pay forty-six dors per minute. Youll have to pay me five hundred and fifty-two dors. However, seeing that were about to go to court, I can help you round it off, just pay five hundred and fifty dors. Hurry up.


    He Mingqian couldnt take it anymore. An Lan, why dont you go rob the bank? Alright, Ill give you a million dors. Lets reconcil.


    Why do you like to talk so much? Yan Wen said impatiently. Cant you see that theres an hourly wage written on the door of our Lawyer An? Before you came in, she also told you about it. Are you trying to renege on your debt now?


    You have guts. He Mingqians expression was ugly as he took out six hundred dors and threw it on the ground. Keep the change. Its my tip for you.


    After he said that, he strode away.


    Six red notes were scattered on the ground. Yan Wen was furious. B*stard, if he didnt pick up this money today


    Forget it, pick it up. An Lan smiled faintly. Dont feel bad about the money. He will lose his reputation and even peel off ayer of his skinter on. You have to understand.


    Thats true. Yan Wen chuckled as she picked up the money.


    Go treat your colleagues to some delicious food, An Lan said nonchntly. Its my treat.


    At 4:30 pm, Xu Baohan called. I was in court earlier. I heard He Mingqian came to look for you?


    Youre really well-informed. An Lan chuckled. I wonder who in ourw firm became your informant.


    Guess. Xu Baohan smiled. Are you alright?


    Very well, I knew he woulde looking for me, just feeling a little disgusting and I couldnt even finish my dinner, An Lan said helplessly.


    If you cant finish it, then Ill treat you to dinner tomorrow, Xu Baohan said. Im resting tomorrow. Didnt we agree to go shopping togetherst time


    Im going to a wedding tomorrow, Xiao Sis getting married. An Lan suddenly remembered that Xiao Si had called her in the morning to ask her to bring a date, and if she didnt, he would introduce her to a boyfriend.

 Chapter 1887. Can’t Keep Me In The Dark All The Time. I Won’t Feel Safe

    Chapter 1887. Can��t Keep Me In The Dark All The Time. I Won��t Feel Safe


    Can you bring your family member? Xu Baohan suddenly asked.


    An Lan raised her teacup in surprise. You like this kind of asion?


    Although they hadnt been together for long, she knew that he didnt like to attend thepanys banquet.


    I dont like it, but its easy for a love rival to appear at a blind date or birthday banquet. I have to keep an eye on you, Xu Baohan said softly. An Lan, its time for you to bring me out to meet people. You cant keep me in the dark all the time. I wont feel safe


    Pfft An Lan spat out a mouthful of tea.


    After a long while, she came back to her senses and coughed so hard that her face turned red.


    Are you alright? Xu Baohan asked. Dont choke to death. If you choke to death, it wont be easy for me to find a girlfriend.


    An Lan gritted her teeth, not knowing whether tough or cry. Can you not be so disgusting when you speak? A grown man who has no sense of security.


    Im serious, Xu Baohan said in a serious tone. Im already busy with work, so I dont have much time to spend with you. I want to get to know you better.


    Alright, Ill put you on as a family member tomorrow, An Lan said with a smile. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning.


    Okay.


    The next day, An Lan was resting. It was rare for her to sleep in, so when she was stillzing around in bed, the doorbell rang.


    She opened the door and was speechless when she saw Xu Baohans face. Come on, its only nine oclock, why are you here so early?


    Am I early? I usually wake up at 7 am. Ive been dawdling at home for an hour and Im really bored, so I came over to look for you.


    Xu Baohan said as he sized up the dark pink velvet pajamas she was wearing. Her long hair was slightly disheveled and draped over her shoulders. The color matched her skin perfectly, it was sexy and filled with a seductive charm. Youre not up yet?


    Yes, its rare for me to have a break, Ill definitely sleep in. An Lan yawned. How boring it would be for you to rest at home without a girlfriend?


    Its fine, when I dont have a girlfriend, Ill watch TV programmes and y ball with my colleagues. Its not a big deal, but after I have you, I want to give you all the spare time I have. Xu Baohan lowered his head and pecked her lips.


    I didnt brush my teeth. An Lan turned to avoid him. Can you wait for me outside? I need to tidy myself up.


    You look good even if you dont tidy yourself up, Xu Baohan blurted out.


    An Lan blushed and rolled her eyes at him. You ate honey so early in the morning.


    I wanted to eat it just now, but I didnt manage to. Xu Baohan was serious.


    An Lan recalled the kiss just now and her face burned. She couldnt continue. Wait for me.


    Okay.


    Xu Baohan sat on the sofa, thinking that the words wait for me could sound so nice, especially in that gentle tone. He really wanted to move the Civil Affairs Bureau over and get married at current ce.


    After sitting quietly for a while, Xu Baohan took out the breakfast he had bought and put them on the tes. He then turned and went to the washroom.


    As soon as he entered, he saw a basket beside the washing machine. An Lans close-fitting clothes were inside.


    His ears were red. He took them out and washed them with his hands.


    An Lan came out after washing up and found that he was not in the living room. He had probably gone to the bathroom.


    Just as she picked up a cup of soymilk on the table, she suddenly remembered that she was toozyst night. She had beenzy after taking a shower and had not even washed her close-fitting clothes.


    Oh dear, oh dear! If he saw her dirty clothings, would he think that she was toozy?


    An Lan rushed into the bathroom. The moment she rushed in, she wanted to dig her eyes out.


    Xu Baohan was so scared that he quickly buckled his belt, his cold face flushed red from the inside out. He gritted his teeth. An Lan, what do you want?

 Chapter 1888. I Really Deserved to Die

    Chapter 1888. I Really Deserved to Die


    An Lan realized that she had lived for twenty-nine years, and this was the first time she had lived to the point where she wanted to hit herself with a piece of beancurd.


    Thats right, what was she doing?


    How could she barge in just because she was afraid that others would see her clothes? Dont forget, this was a washroom. There must be a reason for him to use the washroom.


    Luckily, she reacted quickly, her face flushed red as she quickly covered her stomach. My stomach hurts, I must have eaten something bad yesterday.


    Xu Baohan stared at her expressionlessly. Isnt there a bathroom in your master bedroom?


    Because Im not used to the toilet in the master bedroom. An Lan blinked her big, watery eyes. It hurts, can you go out first?


    Xu Baohan then pursed his lips and walked out. When he left, he remembered that the undergarment was still on the sink, so he picked it up.


    An Lan saw it too, her brain rumbling. Wait, my clothes


    What she was most afraid of had happened, but what was worse was that Xu Baohan had actually washed it.


    She was very embarrassed. She had lived for twenty-nine years, and this was the first time she had encountered such a dilemma.


    Oh, I washed it for you just now. Xu Baohan turned his face away to prevent her from seeing his slightly flushed face. Ill go and dry it.


    No dont need to, I can dry it myself. An Lan rushed over and brought the clothes over.


    You dont you have a stomachache? Xu Baohan looked at her with aplicated gaze.


    a little better, Ill go and dry it first. An Lan rushed towards the balcony in a hurry.


    Xu Baohan looked at her back and was silent for a while. Suddenly, a bright light shed across his eyes and he smiled.


    Five minutester, An Lan came in from the balcony and walked towards the bathroom without saying a word.


    She couldnt face Xu Baohan calmly now. When she saw him, she couldnt help but have a misconception.


    Where are you going? Xu Baohan, who was sitting in the dining room, turned around elegantly.


    Im going to the bathroom, An Lan said as she braced herself. She had toplete her show.


    Are you really suffering from a stomachache? Xu Baohan tapped his fingers on the wooden table. Arent you just afraid that Ill see your undergarments? Ive seen them and Ive washed them.


    The lie was exposed just like that. An Lan was extremely embarrassed. She was frustrated, sometimes it wasnt a good idea to find a man who was too smart.


    An Lan Xu Baohan stood up slowly and walked towards her. He ced one hand on the wine cab behind her and said in a hoarse voice. You have to get used to it. Ill have to do this for the rest of my life.


    An Lan raised her head abruptly to meet his gaze. She felt embarrassed,plicated, and slightly sweet. Erm Im more used to doing it myself. I appreciate your thoughts.


    Its only because youre not used to it now, Xu Baohan continued calmly. Youll be fine once you get used to it. Theres one thing though Dont you think you have to be responsible for me?


    An Lans scalp started to tingle.


    Just now, Xu Baohan clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He said unnaturally, I waspletely unreserved in front of you.


    He had beenpletely unreserved? He couldnt mean


    An Lans forehead buzzed. I


    Dont say anything else, you just have to be responsible. Xu Baohan pressed his finger against her pink lips. Dont leave a scar in my heart.


    An Lan opened her mouth, wanting to say that he was the one who left a shadow in her heart.


    If you dare to reject me, I will definitely pursue the matter to the end, Xu Baohan whispered into her ear. Speaking of thew, you should know what kind of criminalw you have justmitted.


    An Lan shuddered and said, I really deserve to die for my crimes.

 Chapter 1889. I Like How Awesome I Look

    Chapter 1889. I Like How Awesome I Look


    Not to the extent of deserving to die. Just be responsible for me, Xu Baohan said as he led her towards the dining table. Lets eat breakfast.


    An Lan finished her breakfast without realizing what she was eating. After she finished, she forgot what she had eaten. It didnt take long before she received a call from Li Yuchen. When are you going over?


    Around ten oclock, An Lan pondered. The hotel is quite far away, and Ji Nuanyi is getting married today. She has a lot of fans, and a lot of media will being over. Im worried that there will be a traffic jam over there, so its better to go over earlier.


    I think so too. Ill go over earlier to give out business cards. Li Yuchen chuckled. Those who will be attending the wedding today will definitely be big bosses. I have to get a few of them.


    Compared to her, she seemed to be cking off when it came to dating.


    An Lan quickly perked up and went to the wardrobe to pick out a blue gown with nted shoulders. The gown fell to the side of her ankles, entuating her perfect curves from top to bottom. Her skin was so white that it could glow. In addition, she had put on an exquisite makeup and her hair was tied up, her bangs parted to reveal her full forehead. There were a few bangs on her cheeks, and she instantly exuded an elegant and capable aura.


    Xu Baohan had never seen her dressed so exquisitely and meticulously, but looking at her appearance, especially after she changed into a pair of high heels at the door, he felt that she would definitely be a highlight at todays wedding banquet. This made him palpitate, but he also wanted to hide her.


    Its just a wedding banquet, is there a need to overdress? Xu Baohans gazended on her exposed shoulders, his eyes revealing a hint of possessiveness.


    As for An Lan raised her brows. Ji Nuanyi is the top artiste in the entertainment industry. Her wedding is a big event, many entertainment reporters will be here today. No matter where one goes, there will be cameras taking photos, so onehas to dress up.


    Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his brows. You are not a celebrity, the entertainment reporters wont pay attention to you.


    I know, An Lan said with a fake smile, Im going to get them to pay attention to me. At the same time, the people who are going today are all rich and powerful, so in order to get more clients, I have to be fully armed. This so-called armed is not only to show off my beauty, but also to show off that Im awyer who has earned a lot of money. This way, others will think that Im amazing and I have that confidence thates from the bottom of my heart.


    Xu Baohan said nothing.


    Forget it, you dont have to understand, because youre above us. An Lan looked at his strange expression and sighed, reaching out her hand. Lets go.


    Xu Baohan held her hand. When they got into the car, he suddenly said, An Lan, you can do whatever you want. In any case, if the sky falls, Ill be the one carrying it. You just have to do what you like.


    An Lan paused as she got into the car, her eyes filled with doubt.


    You must be tired from pretending to be tough all the time. Xu Baohan turned to look at her.


    Its alright, An Lan muttered. I like to look awesome.


    Xu Baohan was silent for a moment before he smiled helplessly. What a spoilt woman!


    The hotel that Xiao Si was engaged to was thergest resort hotel in the entire Xia city. It was located at the edge of a scenic area.


    Today, fans and media from all over the country were gathered at the entrance of the hotel. Some of them had been waiting there since yesterday, but fortunately, Xiao Si had arranged for arge number of security guards to maintain the order of the hotel, so as to pave a path for the guests.

 Chapter 1890. The Relationship Between a Cat and A Mouse

    Chapter 1890. The Rtionship Between a Cat and A Mouse


    An Lans car slowly drove forward, and many fans by the side of the road raised their signs.


    Xu Baohan nced at them, and there were even students among them. He couldnt understand and frowned. Celebrities are also people, whats so special about them that these people have to be so crazy over them?


    Ji Nuanyis acting isnt bad, shes quite popr with the fans, and there arent any badments about her, An Lan said casually as she sent a wechat message.


    No matter how popr she is, Ill just watch it on TV. Xu Baohan frowned. If my child were so crazy about celebrities that he neglect study, Ill definitely made him memorize Criminal Law before hes allowed to leave the house.


    An Lan shuddered at the thought of the thick book Criminal Law.


    They chatted as the car drove into the hotel. The internal security was very strict, there were only a few mainstream media taking photos.


    An Lan sent the red packet first before walking in.


    On the way, she bumped into a few familiar faces from Shengting Corporation, waving at them one by one.


    Liu Wenzheng from Shengting Corporation nced at Xu Baohan beside her, he said, An Lan, is this your boyfriend? When did you solve the problem of being single silently? A while ago, Vice President Xiao went around looking for a suitable senior executive for you in ourpany.


    For some reason, after he finished joking, he suddenly felt a little cold.


    Lu Kang, who was walking over, saw this scene and cursed Liu Wenzheng in his heart. Then, he silently prayed for Xiao Si, hoping that he wouldnt make such a potential enemy.


    But Lawyer An was really too much. Why did she have to look for Xu Baohan? Onewyer and one judge, wasnt this the rtionship between a cat and a mouse?


    Congrattions, Lawyer An and Judge Xu. Lu Kang put away the nder in his heart and shook hands with a smile. Long time no see.


    Just as he was about to hold An Lans hand, arge palm reached out and grabbed his.


    Long time no see, Xu Baohan said coldly.


    Lu Kang thought to himself, Who hasnt seen you in a long time? I was obviously talking to Lawyer An, his possessiveness wasparable to my boss.


    Judge Xu seems to be riding high with confidence, Lu Kang smirked. President Nian and President Xiao are over there. They told me to call you over and take a photo when you arrive.


    An Lan nodded.


    As she walked over, she met quite a number of artistes who worked under Xiao Si. However, she did not pay much attention to them. Last time, when her reputation was at its worst, these people did not hesitate to cut ties with her on the Inte, even though she had helped them in court before and fought for the biggest benefits.


    When she walked to the flower stand, she happened to see Ji Nuanyi, Luo Sang, and Yan Su taking a photo together. The three of them stood together like a shining light. She had already seen many guests secretly taking photos. After all, Yan Su was not only a popr singer now, but also Mo Liuxis wife.


    She couldnt help but look at Xu Baohan beside her. After all, they were three beautiful women. He should at least take a look, but she saw him lowering his head and ying with his phone.


    She nced at him and saw that he was retweeting on wechat moments, Almighty Moments, tell us what to do as soon as we lose our ID cards


    An Lan was speechless.


    She felt unhappy but yet helpless. When facing with so many stars and beautiful women, he could still retweet on wechat moments.


    An Lan At this moment, Xiao Si walked over and looked at her with a shocked expression. Damn, youre really together with Chief Judge Xu.

 Chapter 1891. She Didn’t Need It Anymore. She Had Me Now

    Chapter 1891. She Didn��t Need It Anymore. She Had Me Now


    Yeah, An Lan nodded.


    At that moment, Xu Baohan raised his head from his phone and looked at Xiao Si with his cold eyes. He seemed to have seen Xiao Si at Nian Juntings banquet before, but he didnt pay much attention then. So was this the person who said that he wanted to introduce An Lan to thepanys senior executives?


    Xiao Si felt goosebumps all over his body. It was supposed to be a happy day, but he suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a dark wolf.


    Hello, Mr. Xu. Do you remember me? Weve met many times, Xiao Si greeted him.


    Oh, I remembered. Xu Baohan nodded and said expressionlessly. I heard that youre going to introduce a partner to An Lan. Thank you for your concern, but theres no need for that in the future. She has me now.


    Xiao Si knew that she had him now, there was no need for him to say it out loud.


    Xiao Si recalled the TikTok video of An Lan and him working together in the parking lot to ask forpensation. He suddenly had a strong urge to build a good rtionship with them. I was being superfluous. When I saw Mr. Xus appearance, I realised An Lan and you are perfect match, it was no wonder that An Lan hadnt found a boyfriend. She was probably waiting for you, Mr. Xu. It was really fate, it really matched that Chinese phrase I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but when I suddenly looked back, that person was at a ce where the lights were dim.


    An Lans mouth twitched, she felt like throwing up.


    Xu Baohan was very satisfied with what he said. The corners of his eyes started to melt, and a faint smile appeared on his face.


    Nian Junting, who was walking over, rubbed the space between his eyebrows, trying his best to resist the urge to choke him.


    You two have developed quite quickly, Nian Junting walked over with his hands on his pants, If I knew that you two would fall in love, I could have been a matchmaker. I guess its a coincidence. You two should have met each other on my sons birthday. Why didnt you think about developing then?


    An Lan opened her mouth and was about to say something when Xu Baohan said with a faint smile, I didnt think about it. Maybe I was attracted to her after she lost thewsuit to me, and cursed me in the toilet that I would be impotent after I got married.


    Xiao Si was speechless.


    Nian Junting choked. He was unique.


    An Lan wanted to crawl into a hole. She forced herself to smile and said, Dont talk about such things. The past is unbearable.


    I dont think so. Our past is filled with love and hatred. Its very sweet, Xu Baohan nodded and said in a good mood. By the way, didnt you buy Mr. Xiao a wedding present?


    Yes, yes. An Lan quickly took out the Guanyin she had bought as a gift.  I wish you two have a child soon. After so many years, thank you for taking care of me. Congrattions on finally achieving your wish.


    Thank you. Xiao Si took it from her. Ji Nuanyi was waving at him, so he quickly said, You should take a photo with her too.


    Okay. An Lan nced at Xu Baohan worriedly.


    Go. Junting and I are old friends. Xu Baohan touched the back of her head.


    After An Lan left, Xu Baohan asked Nian Junting directly, You said that the grudge between An Lans family is rted to your wifes brother?


    You still remember that? Nian Junting was speechless. Its not a big issue.


    What happened to her is a big issue to me, Xu Baohan said lightly.


    Nian Junting looked at him with a strange expression, Are you serious?


    When was I not serious? An Lan is a good woman, Xu Baohan frowned. Weve been ssmates for many years, but you dont know me well.


    Thats true.


    Nian Junting thought for a while and asked, Didnt you have a fiance in the past? Have you let go of her? Dont you miss her at all?

 Chapter 1892. His Wife Was Extremely Sensitive to the Name Leng Shuangwei

    Chapter 1892. His Wife Was Extremely Sensitive to the Name ''Leng Shuangwei''


    Xiao Si was stunned. What, you had a fiance before?


    He was starting to feel a little ufortable with Xu Baohan. After all, having a fiance was equivalent to stepping on the threshold of marriage, hence he was no different from a second-hand good.


    An Lan was his friend, he still hoped that she wouldnt look for second-hand goods.


    Xu Baohan said indifferently, Is it strange to have a fiance? i remembered that you and Leng Shuangwei were inseparable when you were in Junior High School. You followed her everywhere except going to the toilet. You were already on hot dates before you were twenty years old. Didnt i hear that you were going to get married too? Both parties parents had already approved. Why did you marry another womanter?


    Nian Junting was speechless. He was secretly d that Luo Sang wasnt around. His wife was very sensitive to the name Leng Shuangwei.


    Did you let go of your ex when you were dating your wife? Xu Baohan asked Nian Junting calmly. When you were dating your wife, do you miss your ex? After all, you and Leng Shuangwei were childhoods sweetheart.


    Xiao Si looked at Nian Juntings defeated face and felt a little sorry for him. At the same time, he sighed at Xu Baohans wickedness.


    He was just asking about his fiance. Why did he have to mention Leng Shuangwei? if Luo Sang heard that, Junting would have to sleep on the sofa again.


    I dont think I have said anything, Nian Junting gnashed his teeth. An Lan is Shengting Corporationswyer, and she is very important to ourpany, especially we have a few big projects to draft by the end of the year. Dont hurt her feelings and dy our projects.


    Xiao Si nodded vigorously and said, An Lan is of marriageable age, its not suitable for her to date for fun. Its more important to find a reliable person to marry.


    Youre right. Im the reliable one, and Im also devoted to her. Speaking of which, you havent answered my question about An Lans rtionship with your wifes brother. An Lans rtionship with her parents isnt very good, Xu Baohan said. He wasnt as hostile towards them anymore, as he could tell that they really cared about An Lan.


    However, he thought that An Lans rtionship with the opposite sex was a little too good.


    Nian Junting sneered, Her parents deserved it. They shouldnt have picked on me. They just needed to vent their anger on An Lan.


    Then, he told the whole story, An Ning isnt a good person at all. Its best if she doesnt wake up for the rest of her life. If she does wake up and yet not reflect on her past actions, the problem will persist.


    Yeah, if she wakes up, she might pick on Yan Su, Xiao Si sighed. I think theyre all greedy. When An Ning was in school, An Lan treated her well. She used to send her a lot of pocket money, especially after college. An Lan paid for her tuition, amodation, and living expenses all by herself. An Lans parents were ordinary office workers, but An Ning wore branded clothes everyday. In the end, An Ning even went home and asked to buy a Porsche. She was only in her first year of college, and she wanted to buy a Porsche. Shes crazy. An Lan didnt agree to it. When An Lan lectured her, she even said that her sister was stingy.


    Did this actually happen? Nian Junting frowned.


    You dont know a lot, Xiao Si sighed.


    Xu Baohan had a general understanding of what had happened. An Lans parents were unreasonable, and her sister was in a worse condition. He really didnt know how An Lan survived. He would never let these people hurt her again.


    What are you talking about?


    Luo Sangs voice suddenly came into their ears.


    Some women hade to their side.

 Chapter 1893. Met an Old Acquaintance at the Wedding

    Chapter 1893. Met an Old Acquaintance at the Wedding


    Were talking about Baohan and An Lans rtionship, Nian Junting quickly hugged his wife and said with a smile. Theyre a perfect couple.


    When Luo Sang was taking photos, she had heard An Lan mention this. She was surprised. She had heard Nian Junting talk about Xu Baohan before, so she couldnt say that he wasnt a good person. However, he was a ruthless person. Was he suitable for An Lan?


    However, Xu Baohans looks were incredible. Even though she faced Nian Junting every day, she couldnt help but feel that this man had a strong sense of abstinence.


    A strong alliance, Xiao Si added.


    Thats right, I think so too, An Lan nodded with a smile.


    Yan Su smiled and said, Congrattions, An Lan. Youve finally found your happiness. You must invite me to your wedding.


    Of course, An Lan pursed her lips and said, I gave you a red packet when you got married. I have to get my share of money back.


    Shes Xu Baohan stared at Yan Su.


    Yan Su, you dont even know her, Xiao Si said speechlessly, Shes the most popr singer in the Chinese music industry, and shes also Luo Sangs sister-inw, hehe.


    Xu Baohan suddenly realized that it was An Ning who was involved in her triangle rtionship with Mo Liuxi. Im sorry, I dont usually listen to music. If she gets involved in awsuit and needs to go to court, I might know her.


    Yan Su was speechless.


    In that case, she would have to beg him not to get to know her for the rest of his life.


    Ji Nuanyiughed. An Lan, this boyfriend of yours is very interesting. It seems like he definitely doesnt know me either.


    I know you, Xu Baohan nodded. Every year, you have severalwsuits that appeared in our Xia Citys Court. Didnt you win a reputation defense case this year, and the other partypensated you with 50,000 yuan?


    Ji Nuanyi smiled. Dont tell me youre the Chief Judge on that case?


    Xu Baohan shook his head. Such a small case wouldnt normally be assigned to me.


    Ji Nuanyi was speechless again.


    How could herwsuit be small? She was a big star after all, and she was highly regarded by the people.


    So many people were chatting, and the conversation was so intense that no one said anything.


    In the end, An Lan cleared her throat and said, Baohan, Yan Su said that a friend of hers has recently been involved in a case where her portrait rights were vited. Id like to go over and find out more about it.


    Go ahead, Ill find a seat and wait for you, Xu Baohan nodded calmly.


    Not long after An Lan and Yan Su left, Nian Junting, Xiao Si and the others also left because they were entertaining guests and friends.


    Xu Baohan found a seat and waited. Many people came to the banquet just to get to know more friends and expand their social circle. However, for people like him, he didnt need to socialise.


    There were some fruits on the table. He ate while reading the social news.


    After eating for a long time, a shadow cast over his head.


    He raised his head and saw a man in his thirties standing by the side. He was wearing a grey suit and white casual pants. There was a handkerchief folded in the pocket of his suit. He had a long face, an eagle nose, and an earring on his right ear. He looked like a yuppie.


    This face


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows slightly, then frowned slightly. Xue Zheng.


    Im d you still remember an old acquaintance like me. Xue Zhengughed lightly, his eyes filled with coldness. But its not surprising, after so many years, you must have hated me to the core.


    Xu Baohan calmly and elegantly unshelled an almond and said indifferently, You think too much.

 Chapter 1894. The Xiao Family’s Wedding. You’re Not Going to Make a Move On Me, Are You?

    Chapter 1894. The Xiao Family��s Wedding. You��re Not Going to Make a Move On Me, Are You?


    Stop pretending, werent you so angry that you attacked me back then? Xue Zheng sneered. I dont f*cking understand why Zhuang Tianyao took a liking for a coward like you back then. Is being a judge that great? I dont think so, at the crucial moment, you still rely on me.


    Xu Baohan put the almond into his mouth and chewed slowly. His calm gaze seemed as though he did not put anyone in his eyes at all.


    Xue Zheng was inexplicably annoyed, Its a pity that Zhuang Tianyao treated me as a scavenger. She thought that I would really be with her if I helped her family. I wouldnt want what others wanted. Im tired of ying with her all these years. She thought that I would marry her, fat hope.


    Xue Zheng Xu Baohan slowly stood up, his gaze sharp. What are you trying to say? Are you bragging about how you stole Zhuang Tianyao back then? Didnt you like her back then?


    Ha, I did like her, but she chose you when I pursued her. How could I, Xue Zheng, not beparable to you? Xue Zheng scoffed. I only helped her back then to toy with her.


    If you wanted to toy with her, then theres no need for you to be so jealous and hate me. Youve said so much to me here because youre unwilling to ept it, so you wanted to vent your anger on me. Xu Baohans gaze gradually darkened, I dont care what your motives are, Zhuang Tianyao and I are already in the past. Please stay away from me. Besides, this is the Xiao familys wedding. Lets get it right, this isnt a ce for you to make a scene.


    You Xue Zheng clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling.


    Baohan, who is this?


    An Lan walked over at this moment. She sized Xue Zheng Up. He wasnt bad looking, but standing beside Xu Baohan, it was the difference between a genuine and a pirated version of Taobao.


    Xue Zhengs gazended on her, a sh of surprise and astonishment. After a while, he smiled strangely, Judge Xu, this is


    Xu Baohan smiled calmly, his thin lips moving slightly. Mr. Xue, you can get out of here now.


    An Lan was speechless.


    Xue Zhengs expression changed several times, suddenly, he smiled. You dont have to hate me so much, right? i didnt mean to snatch your fiance away back then. She insisted on following me. What can i do? But if you couldnt let her go, you could continue chasing after her. Since weve already broken up, theres no need for you to send a message to Tianyao in the middle of the night telling her to return to your side.


    An Lan furrowed her brows, a cold glint shing in Xu Baohans eyes. Xue Zheng, you can go to jail for spouting nonsense sometimes.


    If you dont want people to know, dont do it yourself, Xue Zheng sneered. Do you know why I agreed to break up with her in the end? It was because I found out that Zhuang Tianyao had an abortion because of you.


    An Lans mind was buzzing, and she was momentarily absent-minded.


    Xu Baohans eyes red up, and he reached out to grab Xue Zhengs cor. Try spouting nonsense again. Zhuang Tianyao and I have never had an intimate rtionship.


    I didnt expect you toe up with such a ridiculous lie when youre desperate, Xue Zheng scoffed. Youve been together for two years, and youre already engaged to each other. Who would believe that you havent had an intimate rtionship yet?


    An Lan lowered her eyshes and fell silent.


    Xu Baohan nced at her, his fists cracking.


    What? This is the Xiao familys wedding, youre not going to attack me, are you? Xue Zheng raised his chin.


    An Lan suddenly woke up and looked at Xu Baohan, who was very tense. She sighed and reached out to grab his arm. Dont attack him here, there are media everywhere.

 Chapter 1895. Not Only Could She Protect Herself, She Could Also Protect Him

    Chapter 1895. Not Only Could She Protect Herself, She Could Also Protect Him


    He was a judge, it wouldnt be good if he got into a fight.


    Xue Zheng only dared to act recklessly because of this.


    Prettydy, I admire your rationality. Xue Zheng smiled as he took out his name card from his pocket and handed it to An Lan. My name is Xue Zheng.


    An Lan nced at his name card. He was the General Manager of Xipeng Limited. She had heard of Xipeng Limited, a very famous clothing brandpany in China. The price wasnt particrly expensive, so it had attracted a lot of low to middle-range consumers and its business was doing quite well.


    She hadnt expected Xu Baohans ex-girlfriend to find such a boyfriend. It seemed that his ex-girlfriend was born well too.


    Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Xu Baohan had already snatched the name card and tore it apart. He then said coldly, She doesnt need to know about you, Xue Zheng. Keep your thoughts to yourself.


    After saying that, he held An Lans hand and left.


    Xue Zheng looked at their holding hands and curled his lips into a strange smile, No wonder youre in such a hurry to leave. So shes your girlfriend. Youre afraid that Ill say more embarrassing things, arent you? Prettydy, I really pity you. Dont you feel ufortable finding a man who have children with another woman?


    An Lan stopped in her tracks and turned around to smile at him, I feel more disgusted by you. Your aim is to sow discord, isnt it? Actually, the past is already in the past. If you keep pestering, it means that you havent let it go at all. At the same time, it also means that youre narrow-minded. As a high-ranking official in yourpany, being unforgiving can be fatal. Besides, this is Xiao Sis wedding, and were very close. If you continue to act like this, Ill get him to kick you out easily. After all, Xipeng is really iparable to Shengting Corporation.


    The smile on Xue Zhengs face gradually froze.


    An Lan shook off Xu Baohans hand and turned around. This time, it was her turn to take out her name card, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is An Lan and Im awyer. Im best at criminal cases, such as murder or divorce cases like your parents getting divorced or your woman cheated all your money. If you encounter any of the above cases, you can look for me. Since you and Baohan are old acquaintances, I can give you a 20% discount. Goodbye.


    After that, he ignored Xue Zhengs livid expression and dragged An Lan away.


    Xu Baohan looked at his womans side profile with admiration. She was as fierce and powerful as ever.


    Thats why he had fallen in love with her. Not only could she protect herself, she could also protect him.


    The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was special.


    However, her silence made him feel uneasy.


    An Lan, what he said just now was all fake.


    After Xue Zheng disappeared behind them, Xu Baohan pulled her to a stop. There was a hint of nervousness in his calm gaze.


    An Lan stopped to calm herself down before raising her head. Baohan, youre already engaged. The abortion might have been made up by someone else, but theres no need to lie about not having had sex. Im not an unreasonable person.


    She admitted that she felt especially ufortable now. It was as if a pepper jar had been knocked over, but they werent kids anymore. The adult world was veryplicated, so she didnt really believe that they hadnt had a rtionship.


    When I decided to be with you, I thought of many things, An Lan said with her eyshes lowered.


    I really didnt, Xu Baohan smiled bitterly, extremely helpless. I dont have any experience. If really dont believe it, when you experiment it with me, youll know how inexperienced I am.

 Chapter 1896. Little Apple and Yan Yan

    Chapter 1896. Little Apple and Yan Yan


    An Lan raised her head with a cold smile, It would be weird if I believed you, someone who knows how to act like a hooligan.


    Xu Bohan sighed helplessly in his heart, Im telling the truth, Im not being a hooligan.


    An Lan sneered at him that she would be a pig to believe him.


    Couldnt you see that she was currently in a bad mood? Why did she still want to put it into practice with him? It was not that she was stupid.


    Looks like your ex-girlfriend has gone back to single, An Lan reminded him with a fake smile, Your love rival even hates you. What an era of war that I shouldnt have brought you here today. Do you think your ex-girlfriend wille looking for you?


    Xu Bohan furrowed his brows as well. The two of them had been lovey-dovey in the morning, but now the atmosphere waspletely ruined by Xue Zheng, An Lan, Ive never hidden my past from you, and I wont do it in the future.


    His two big hands gently pressed on her thin shoulders, Ive decided to be with you. Im serious. I like you, and this affection isnt something anyone can rece. I know very well that the past is the past. Take you for example. If Nian Junting, whom youve had a crush on for years, suddenly abandoned his wife toe back and go after you, would you ept him?


    An Lan imagined that scene in shock, but she only felt a chill run down her spine rather than being surprised, Dont talk about my crush on Nian Junting again, okay? Its not the same thing. Ive never been engaged to him, and weve never shared a bed.


    In my heart, its the same thing. What is a crush? Its something you cant get, and what. you cant get is always inmotion. Xu Bohan took a step forward with his long legs, and with his solemn gaze, Its the white moonlight in your heart, the cinnabar mole in your mind.


    He didnt know why, but the more he spoke, the more angry he got. If Nian Junting were standing in front of him now, he would definitely strangle him to death.


    An Lan was forced to back off by his words, Chief Judge Xu, you should never talk about it with awyer. Awyers mind is always clear even on the battlefield. I know how to differentiate my own feelings.


    I know how to differentiate too. A judge will be clearer than awyer, you are the only one in my heart right now.Xu Bohan did not want to see her chattering mouth spew out any more aggressive words, so he bent down to block her lips.


    An Lans eyes widened. Please, this was the corridor and there were many familiar facesing and going, could you please be more careful.


    Until a young voice came from the side of her feet.


    Older brother, what are they doing? Whats so good about mouths?


    I dont know, my parents often act like this too.


    An Lan shuddered and immediately pushed Xu Bohan away. When she saw Yan Yan and Little Apple holding hands beside her feet, her face was so red that she wanted to crawl into the ground.


    Oh, so its auntie an Lan,Little Apple immediately recognized her and was pleasantly surprised. Auntie An Lan, is this your hubby?


    An Lan opened her mouth in embarrassment. Before she could say anything, Little Apple had already started talking to himself, My dad said that a wife can only find her hubby for kissing, so he didnt allow me to kiss my mother. He said that this is morally uneptable, but I can kiss my dad, but I feel too disgusting to kiss my own dad, especially when I see his old face.


    Yan Yan was at a loss. But Im often kissed by mommy.


    Little Apple tilted his head and thought for a moment, Maybe its because youre a girl, auntie An Lan. What do you think?

 Chapter 1897. Old Mr. Nian, You Will Pay For Your Actions

    Chapter 1897. Old Mr. Nian, You Will Pay For Your Actions


    An Lan listened to these two small children discussing such a profound question. She felt a headache already but what made her even more speechless was that this topic was thrown at her again.


    She was really not good at dealing with children.


    She could only look at Xu Bohan with a pleading gaze.


    Xu Bohan gently tugged at the corners of his lips, bending down to pat on the heads of the two children, You are both right, but I can kiss your Auntie An Lan because I am the person she loves, she will be my wife sooner orter.


    The two children nodded in understanding. Little Apple looked up at An Lan and said, Auntie An Lan, so youre getting married soon. Thats great, am I going to be able to eat wedding candies again soon? Can I be your flower girl?


    I want one too, I want one too.Yan Yan said as she raised her small hand.


    An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry. Why did this question suddenly escte to something about flower girls.


    Xu Bohan nodded in satisfaction, Of course, you guys are so cute, and I will definitely make you flower girls when the timees.


    Thats great. The little kids was very happy.


    Xu Bohan looked at Little Apple again, suddenly, he said, Oh right, didnt you say earlier that your father didnt allow you to kiss your mother? This kind of behavior is wrong. Its only right and proper to kiss your own mother and it is also an expression of love. Your father cant monopolize your rights to kiss your mother just because he loves your mother.


    Little Apple was stunned for a moment, then she clenched his fists with her chubby cheeks puffing up, I knew it, Ive been deceived. This is too much, why did he bully such a kind and cute person like me and deprive me of my rights to kiss my mother? Uncle, is what you said true?


    Of course its true, because uncle is a judge, a judge is the most reasonable person in the world who understands thew, Xu Bohan said with a smile, Some rights are equal regardless of whether you are a child or an elderly.


    Uncle, youre amazing, Little Apple said with a look of admiration, but at the same time, he was also angry. But why did my father treat me like this? I know now, is he jealous that my Im closer to mom than to him?


    You can understand it that way, Xu Bohan nodded, Oh right, dont tell your father I said those things to you, because in your fathers world, the word equality doesnt exist. If he knew, he wouldnt let me meet you again. Without a judges guidance, you wouldnt know what kind of things you were bullied by your father.


    Uncle, what you said is so right that my father is not equal at all. He is overbearing and tyrannical. He is a devil. Seeing that Im young, he always bullies me. Dont worry, I definitely wont tell my father, Little Apple stomped his feet and snorted. He took Yan Yans hand, Lets go. I want to go find mommy and kiss her. I havent kissed mommy for a long time. Goodbye, Uncle.


    When the two children left, An Lan heard Little Apple say, Old Mr. Nian, you will pay for your actions. Im a baby who knows about human rights now.


    An Lan nced at the handsome man beside her and gritted her teeth, Despicable, you even want to use a child.


    How did I use him?Xu Bohan turned. Do you think I was lying?


    An LAN was speechless, I wouldnt say I was lying, but this is my familys business.


    Xu Bohan smiled and moved closer to her, Sometimes, the judge has to take care of family matters.


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him, Thats only for the court, right? Youre using your official position to get revenge, arent you? Because I had a crush on Nian Junting.

 Chapter 1898. The Human Rights of a Baby

    Chapter 1898. The Human Rights of a Baby


    Youre right. Its never toote for a gentleman to take revenge. Xu Bohan answered honestly.


    An Lan felt disgusted, Are You a gentleman? How can a gentleman be like you? she said, Im the only one who has a crush on him. What does it have to do with him?


    Xu Bohan smiled and said, Hes just being unlucky.


    An Lan:


    At 11:30 pm, everyone took their seats one after another.


    An Lan Nian junting, Yan Su, and the others took their seats. Mo Liuxi wasnt here today because of some issues, so Yan Su and her daughter couldnt handle it. An Lan then decided to sit next to Yan Yan, offering a hand from time to time.


    Compared to Little Apple, Yan Yan was quieter. She held a piece of chocte and nibbled it slowly while the corners of her mouth turning ck.


    An Lan wiped it with a tissue, amused.


    Yan Yan shook her calves obediently, Thank you, Auntie.


    Youre wee. An Lans heart softened.


    Xu Bohan noticed it as well. His gaze softened as he moved closer to An Lan and said softly, Dont be envious of others. We will have such a cute little daughter in the future.


    An Lan blushed and stepped on him under the table and she smiled as she moved closer to his ear and said through gritted teeth, Who wants to have a daughter with you? I think I just heard that your ex had an abortion for you.


    Xu Bohan stared at her silently for a while before he suddenly smiled and softly said, No matter how much you exin, its useless. Sooner orter, you will know how awkward I am.


    An Lan looked at the mature and handsome face in front of her, then couldnt help twitching her lips and she said, Please look at yourself in the mirror when you say something like that. Youre not a young man, okay?


    Xu Bohan looked helpless and said, It seems like you dont believe me at all. To prove that what I said is true, do you want to try it tonight?


    An Lan:


    Was he threatening her?


    The two of them were in a stalemate while Nian Juntings cold voice came from the side, Brat, get off your mothersp. How old are you already and yet youre still clinging to your mother. Yan Yan isnt like you.


    No, Little Apple didnt listen to him. He even hugged Luo Sang and kissed her several times.


    It had been a long time since she enjoyed such a warm treatment from her son. Luo Sang hugged Little Apple gently and pressed her forehead against his.


    Nian Junting wanted to flip the table, Apple, have you forgotten what I told you before? Did you ignore what I said?


    Dad, Im just exercising my rights, Little Apple said righteously, This is human rights. Its the human rights of a baby. You cant take away my rights just because Im young.


    Yan Su was stunned, Little Apple, youre so amazing. You know how to talk about human rights at such a young age.


    Kids nowadays were so smart.


    Of course, Little Apple raised his head and puffed out his chest. He nced at Xu Bohan secretly and said proudly, In front of human rights, all of us are equal.


    Luo Sang touched his little face and said, Baby, youre amazing.


    So, Mommy, I want to sleep with you at night. Im scared, Little Apple leaned on her chest and said helplessly, Why do I have to be separated from mommy at such a young age? Is Daddy depriving me of my human rights?


    Luo Sang was a little embarrassed. Nian Junting had often driven her son to sleep with Sister Lan when he was very young. She was actually quite guilty about this, so she said, Okay, sleep with Mommy.


    Nian Juntings face turned livid-alike, Who talked about human rights with you? Do you know what human rights are?

 Chapter 1899. Could It Be That There were Signs of Puppy Love in Junting’s Junior High School?

    Chapter 1899. Could It Be That There were Signs of Puppy Love in Junting��s Junior High School?


    Xiao Pingguo hugged Luo Sangs neck tightly and said confidently, Human rights mean that I have the right to kiss my own mother.


    Nian Junting stared at his son silently for a while, then turned to Xu Bohan and An Lan and said, When ites to human rights, it has to involve thew. You two seem to know the most about human rights here. Did you just run into Little Apple?


    We didnt run into him,An Lan said with an awkward smiled. After all, Nian Junting was her boss.


    Nian Junting looked at Yan Yan and said, Yan Yan, you were with your older brother. Tell Uncle about it. Did you run into these two Uncle and Auntie just now?


    Yan Yan lowered her head and started eating with her body stiffened, and she was at a loss. Her cheeks turned red, and she stammered, No No.


    Yan Yan, a child who lies will be ugly. Nian Junting narrowed his eyes.


    Yan Yan pouted, then turned and threw herself into Yan Sus arms and she whimpered, We promised uncle that we wouldnt say anything.


    Little Apple red at her with disappointment.


    Nian Junting looked at Xu Bohan and An Lan with a faint smile and said, An Lan, thepany has a case in the Great Northwest recently. You should apany General Manager Liu to know about case. After all, there are some legal matters that need your advice.


    An Lan felt her scalp tingling. Xiao Si had gone to the Great Northwest for a few months a few years ago, and she knew what he had be. A man coulde back with his face disfigured, let alone a woman like her.


    Luo Sang also remembered and frowned, Is this the ce where Xiao Si only had Rougamo to eat?


    You have a good memory, Nian Junting said with a smile, Rougamo is such a delicious specialty food. I heard that he opened a shop in America a few days ago, and was very much liked by the Americans.


    Luo Sang was speechless. Even if it was delicious, she wouldnt be able to handle it, I dont think thats a good idea. Why dont we ask General Manager Liu toe back and let An Lan read the documents first? An Lan just got into a rtionship with Chief Judge Xu. As the boss, cant you be more understanding?


    I fully understand. Sometimes, distance makes love more beautiful. Dont you agree, An Lan? Nian Junting looked at An Lan.


    An Lan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. You two men love and kill each other. Why is she the one suffering? What did she do wrong.


    A big hand held her with warmth. Xu Bohan calmly leaned back into the chair and said, What you said makes sense. I remember you said the same thing when we were in junior high school. Back then


    Nian Juntings expression slightly changed and he subconsciously interrupted him, Ive thought about it carefully, but I think I will let it go this time. After all, you and An Lan arent young anymore. Its not easy to fall in love. If you really break up because of a temporary separation, itll be troublesome. A new rtionship wont stand the test.


    Xu Bohan smiled faintly and said, Thank you for your understanding, as expected of my old ssmate.


    I cant help it. Weve known each other for so many years, Nian Junting turned back to touch his sons hair and said, You can ask your Uncle Xu for more advice on human rights in the future.


    Little Apple was confused.


    Luo Sang raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, Chief Judge Xu, what did you want to say just now? What happened back then? Was there a hint of puppy love in Juntings junior high school?


    Nian Junting felt his scalp tingling. Women shouldnt be so sensitive. In fact, it wasnt puppy love. It was just that he and Leng Shuangwei were very close at that time.


    No, Xu Bohan said with a slight smile, In junior high school, he always told me that there was no woman in this world who could match up to him who was so perfect. Even if he found a wife in the future, he could only make do with it.

 Chapter 1900. You Have Everything That I Like

    Chapter 1900. You Have Everything That I Like


    Make do? Luo Sang looked at her husband with her smile brightening, Im sorry for just being eptable to you.


    She really believed that Nian Junting would say those words.


    An Lan and Yan Su sat far away from Luo Sang, but they could feel the dangerous aura emanating from her. Xu Bohan was too ruthless.


    Nian Junting broke out in a cold sweat and said, Luoluo, didnt I know that I would meet you in the past right? Didnt you know who I was when we first got together? Ive never hidden anything from you.


    Really?Luo Sang asked with a smile as she peeled fruits for her son, Who are you now?


    Im a wife-doting and wife-loving person. Nian junting said as he sat closer to her.


    As soon as he said that, Xiao Si suddenly said, Shuangwei, youre sote.


    Nian Junting froze and Luo Sang turned back to look. Leng Shuangwei was here today, but that was normal. After all, Leng Shuangwei and Xiao Si were good friends.


    Luoluo I havent talked to Leng Shuangwei in a long time. Nian Junting looked at his wife pitifully.


    I didnt say anything. LuoSang shrugged and focused on feeding her son. She really didnt feel anything for Leng Shuangwei anymore.


    Nian Junting observed her for a while. When he saw that she wasnt angry, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    About seven or eight minutester, Leng Shuangwei walked over and greeted Little Apple. She nced at her and said with a hint of loneliness and envy, Junting, its been a long time. Luosang, How are you two?


    Em, not bad. Nian Junting felt guilty about Leng Shuangwei. He heard that Leng Shuangwei hadnt gotten married yet, so he asked, How about you? I heard that youve been promoted recently.


    Yeah, Leng Shuangwei smiled with aplicated expression, then said, Speaking of which, brother Si is quite handsome today. Im really envious that you two are married.


    Arent Ji Chuan and Nian XI here?Nian junting changed the topic unnaturally, which made the atmosphere a little weird.


    Xu Bohan turned the teacup, raised his head and said in a low voice, Leng Shuangwei, do you remember me?


    Leng Shuangwei heard him and looked at him. Her eyes lingered on his face for a while before she slowly opened her bbermouth, You are Xu Bohan, I almost didnt recognize you. Youre much more mature than when you were in junior high. Of course, youre also much better looking. I didnt expect you toe. Do you know Xiao Si?


    No, my girlfriend does. Xu Bohan put his arm around An Lans shoulder.


    Leng Shuangwei looked at the two of them for a while, then smiled and said, Theyre a perfect match. Congrattions.


    Thank you.


    After Leng Shuangwei left, Luosang suddenly said, I didnt expect Chief Judge Xu to know Leng Shuangwei. It seems that she spent a lot of time with Junting in junior high school.


    Nian Junting pursed his lips and didnt say a word.


    Little Apple suddenly jumped out of Luo Sangs arms and said, The wedding is starting. Im going to watch the ceremony.


    Everyone stood up and walked over to take photos.


    An Lan sat still, while Xu Bohan asked, Arent you going?


    The weddings are all the same. Ive watched too many. An Lan said with ack of interest, but she was telling the truth.


    However, when Jay Chous voice lingered around the wedding, she was still distracted for a while.


    Ill take a sip, this fragrant temptation, you have the look I like


    An Lan thought to herself, perhaps the voice was too sweet.


    An LanXu Bohan suddenly called out her name.


    She turned, and Xu Bohans dark gaze was fixed on her, You have everything that I like.

 Chapter 1901. What A Coincidence. Today, I Don’t Envy Her At All

    Chapter 1901. What A Coincidence. Today, I Don��t Envy Her At All


    Her heart trembled violently as his gaze fiercely attracted her attention as maics.


    It was very strange that this was clearly someone elses wedding, but at this moment, she did not envy the bride at all. In the past, she would actually be jealous, yet she would never tell others. After all, love was something that could only be quietly waited for.


    Dont steal Jay Chous lyrics, okay? She leaned towards him and said softly.


    Xu Bohan held her hand on the table as though he didnt hear what she said,In the past, when I attended weddings, even if all weddings were as romantic as such but I didnt feel much. Im not moved or envious, but today Im actually a little jealous.


    An Lan smiled, wanting to say, what a coincidence, but today Im not envious at all..


    It was probably because he was by her side.


    Mm, this means that youre old and you want to get married.An Lan said.


    No,Xu Bohan shook his head with his eyes reflecting her appearance, Because I met the person who I wanted to get married with.


    The surroundings were noisy, filled with voices.


    However, An Lan suddenly felt very quiet with her eyes and heart filled with this persons shadow.


    She didnt say anything, just silently leaning her head on his shoulder.


    The wedding might be beautiful, but she preferred listening to every song during the wedding.


    Xue Zheng, who was sitting not too far away, was also staring at the two of them. It looked like Xu Bohan had really found a girlfriend.


    Seeing Xu Bohans smug look on his face in love, he remembered how he had sacrificed so much for Zhuang Tianyao, but he didnt get anything in the end.


    How could he possibly let Xu Bohan be happy.


    After the wedding, on the way home, An Lan had wanted to post a message on WeChat moments to wish Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi well, but after editing it a few times, she deleted it in the end.


    In the past, she liked to post on WeChat moments, but now that she realized she was no longer in the mood.


    Lets go shopping, Xu Bohan, who was driving, said, Last time, you said you wanted to pick out a sweater for me.


    An Lan nodded. It was rare for both of them to be free today.


    As for the what Xue Zheng had said, she no longer thought about it, because one had to move on. If she kept harping on the past of her boyfriend, there was no need for her to look for a man.


    After lunch, An Lan felt a little tired. After half an hour, she opened her eyes and saw that the car had arrived at the ancient Tongchen Shopping Mall in Xia City.


    She blinked, Are we going there?


    Xu Bohan pondered for a moment before replying, This is the shopping mall I know the best. I usuallye here to buy clothes more often.


    An Lan smiled, May I know how many times a year you mentioned?


    Four times, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. I havent been here this autumn because Im too busy.


    Four times a year was a lot.


    An Lan was speechless.


    Seeing that she was silent, Xu Bohan said, You dont like it here? Then lets change the location.


    Its not that I dont like it,An Lan exhaled, Do you know that this mall closed down in June?


    Xu Bohan: is that so? Why would such a good mall close down?


    An LAN said with a smile, Because there are too few good-looking womens clothes in this mall and very few gourmet shops. The most important thing for a mall is to attract women. Men like you who go there four times a year will only have the mall hang for bankruptcy.


    Xu Bohan silently turned the car around, I dont know much about shopping malls. Tell me where to go and Ill guide you.


    An Lan rolled her eyes. Let me show you what kind of shopping malls you can go to with a woman.

 Chapter 1902. A Cup of Milk Tea was Enough to Make Them Break Up

    Chapter 1902. A Cup of Milk Tea was Enough to Make Them Break Up


    The mall An Lan was talking about was a new one that had just opened in Xia City two years ago. It was next to the city center and had six floors. There were dessert shops, clothing shops, coffee shops, and gourmet restaurants. There were many people, and there were long lines at the entrance of many popr shops that are trendy on the inte.


    When Xu Bohan walked past a milk tea shop, his cold face was filled with shock, Isnt it just milk tea? How good can it be? Is there a need to line up for 40 to 50 people? How long will the linest?


    I dont know. Every time I pass by, there will be a sea of people. Im not sure how good it will be either.An Lan shook her head and looked at him with a faint smile. Why dont you buy me a cup to try?


    Xu Bohan:


    Shouldnt he have asked that question earlier.


    It just so happened that a young couple was arguing in front of them.


    The girl stomped her feet, You keep saying that you love me, but youre not even willing to line up for me to get a cup of milk tea. Ive seen through you, you dont love me at all..


    The boy looked like he was about to break down, This kind of shop is just a hype. Actually, the taste is no different from other milk tea shops.


    The girl said, I dont care. I dont care. I want to have one. If you really love me, you wouldnt be so reluctant to bear such a little bit suffering.


    The boy said, Stop fooling around. Ill buy you an ice cream, okay? That line is too long. Youll have to line up for at least an hour.


    The girl said, I knew it, you still dont love me. Break up, lets break up.


    Xu Bohans handsome face darkened. A cup of milk tea was enough to make them want to break up. It wasnt easy for someone to fall in love.


    An Lan, find a ce to sit for a while, Ill go line up. Xu Bohan said to An Lan.


    An Lan heard the couples argument. She smiled and patted his chest, Youll have to wait for at least an hour, are you willing to do that?


    I have enough patience.Xu Bohan calmly replied.


    An Lan stared at him for a while and smiled, Forget it, that boy was right. This kind of shop is just a hype with a very ordinary taste. I know a good coffee shop, lets go there.


    She turned around.


    Xu Bohan watched her back for a while, then nced at the man and woman who were still arguing. He suddenly felt lucky that he didnt fall in love when he was at school.


    An Lan was the best. She was rational and calm, not unreasonable.


    However, even if An Lan was unreasonable, he would still tolerate it.


    Actually, that boy was also stupid. The girl was just trying to prove whether the boy loved her enough.


    Sometimes, men shouldnt be too calctive.


    Might just as well he and An Lan met each other when they were at their most mature and steady state.


    Afterwards, the two of them went to the coffee shop An Lan mentioned and bought two cups of coffee that was very tasty in smell.


    An Lan, you like coffee?


    No, but since Im just here at the mall. It would be a pity if I didnt drink anything, An Lan said with a smile, Also, theres ice cream in the coffee. Its quite sweet. Do you want to try it?


    Xu Bohan looked at her faint red lipstick on the coffee cup and lowered his head to take a sip, Its very sweet.


    Right?An Lan smiled.


    Im talking about the ones youve tasted before.Xu Bohan bent down and kissed her on the lips.


    An Lan blushed and quickly looked to the side.


    Xu Bohan smiled. Why? Are you afraid of beingughed at?


    Thats not it.An Lan shook her head with a smile, I just felt that there were too few handsome men and beautiful women like us along the way. I was afraid that we would attract too much attention. After all, its either beautiful women paired with wild beasts or fresh young men paired with old women nowadays.

 Chapter 1903. I Didn’t Do Any Renovations. I Lied to You

    Chapter 1903. I Didn��t Do Any Renovations. I Lied to You


    Xu Bohan was stunned for a moment then smiled and said, An Lan, youre indeed someone who worked under Nian Junting.


    Inferiority was never something associated with her.


    An Lan sighed with a bitter smile, Maybe every time when I wasnt confident, Boss Nian always said that we should believe in ourselves. Although we cantpare to him, we can at least work under him, so it can be considered as 60% perfect. Of course, we definitely cantpare to his 100% confidence but his sess has also brought me confidence.


    Xu Bohan frowned. It turned out hat An Lans confidence came from Nian Junting. He wasnt happy that the woman he liked gained confidence from another man.


    An Lan, how about we buy a pair of rings? Xu Bohan suddenly said, I just passed by a few jewelry stores.


    An Lan raised her head to look at him for a while, then nodded and said, Sure.


    Since they were dating, there was no need to always help others save money. What should be spent must be spent, what should be bought must be bought. This was An Lans motto.


    The two of them browsed for a long time before finally choosing a pair of rings with diamonds embedded in gold. The main reason was that Xu Bohans hands looked better in gold, but An Lan didnt mind because her hands were white and everything looked good on her. After buying the rings, before Xu Bohan left, he saw a new ne that suited An Lan.


    An Lan also liked it, but she felt that it was a little expensive, so she rejected it.


    I think it suits you. You look good in a diamond ne.Xu Bohan swiped his card and bought it.


    An Lan was still embarrassed, Youre an office worker after all, so your monthly sry is limited. Its better to save money next time.


    You already know how to save money for me so quickly. Xu Bohan raised his eyebrows.


    An Lan rolled her eyes, Im afraid you wont have the money to marry me. Let me tell you, its not cheap to marry me. Didnt you just renovate your house?


    Xu Bohan frowned and hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, I didnt do the renovation. I lied to you. I havent even found a girlfriend yet, how should I going to renovate your house?


    An Lanughed out of anger, Chief Judge Xu, you really went all out to get me to treat you to a meal. You Dont even care about your face anymore.


    Thats right. Its a pity that someone was too stupid and kept rejecting me.


    Im not stupid, I just cant Stand You,An Lanined impolitely, Since youve taken a fancy to me, you have to say it boldly and still insist on getting a woman to treat you to a meal. You have no shame.


    Xu Bohan nodded, Im sorry.


    An Lan had nothing to say in response to his confidence.


    The two of them walked around until 10:30 pm before heading back. Xu Bohan bought two sets of clothes and a pair of pants, while An Lan bought two pairs of shoes and three sets of clothes.


    He was amazed by An Lans shopping capability. When they reached the back, his legs were already weak, but An Lan still hadnt had her fill.


    They didnt go home until the malls broadcast was about to close.


    On Monday, An Lan wore new clothes and a new ring to work. She was in a good mood, wearing everything bought by her boyfriend.


    As soon as she entered the office, she heard Yan Wen and her colleagues chatting.


    Theres no chance of winning this kind ofwsuit. Chief Judge Xu will definitely convict the other party of manughter, but the family members of the deceased dont seem to be reasonable at all.


    But this case actually had attracted quite a lot of attention back then.


    What are you talking about during office hours?An Lan appeared behind the crowd while tapping on her watch.


    The crowd turned around, and Yan Wens eyes lit up. She immediately started ttering, Lawyer An, youre so beautiful today. Could this ring be a gift from Chief Judge Xu? Im so envious.


    Did you guys mention Xu Bohan just now?An Lan ignored her ttery.

 Chapter 1904. My Right to Life, Freedom, Property And Dignity Are All Yours

    Chapter 1904. My Right to Life, Freedom, Property And Dignity Are All Yours


    Thats right,Yan Wen quickly reported truthfully, Were talking about the case that Chief Judge Xu will be presiding over tomorrow.


    An Lan found it funny, You guys are really amazing by knowing so much about all the cases Xu Bohan will be presiding over.


    Thats a must, Yan Wen said mischievously, Isnt Chief Judge Xu the boyfriend of my boss? Besides, this case has attracted a lot of attention from the outside. Do you still remember the lethal case as result of resisting in the local news in August? The deceased, Zhao Ping, was the leader of the construction workers. He seemed to have a good rtionship with Yue, but when he went to Yues house as a guest, he got Yue down with drinks, then he forcefully molested Yues wife. Fortunately, Yue woke upter and the two of them started fighting. Zhao Ping was afraid that Yue would call the police, so he wanted to kill him, but was killed by Yue instead.


    An Lan nodded, I know about this case. Theres nothing much to say. Zhao Ping had a motive to kill and it was self-defense. ording to simr cases in the past, the court would find him not guilty. If the Procuratorate wants to win this case, see if they can start with Yue being drunk and sentence him with intentional injury.


    Ma Shuanghua suddenly walked over and said, Ive heard that this Zhao Pings entire family is a bunch of hooligans in the nearby viges. Its not his first time bullying a woman. His parents are also unreasonable. After the incident, he didnt feel that his son was at fault at all. He insisted that it was Yues wife who seduced Zhao Ping. There are really all kinds of weirdos.


    An Lan was amused, Lawyer Ma, you really know a lot.


    Of course, because thewyer who took on Yues case was a former ssmate of mine, Ma Shuanghua said, This time, I really hope that he can win.


    In the afternoon, An Lan had some free time to chat with Xu Bohan and talk about the case.


    Xu Bohan was silent for a moment before saying, Well know when the open a court session ends tomorrow. The court session hasnt started yet, and the evidence isnt very clear. I cant make decisions based on my own judgment, and even if I know, I cant tell you.


    I know, Im not interested in the oue either, An Lan smiled, I only heard that Zhao Pings family doesnt seem to be easy to deal with. If they can win, thats not a big deal, but if they lose, Im afraid theyll cause a ruckus in court.


    So be it. Ive seen this kind of people many times, but the court is definitely a solemn ce that doesnt allow people to cause a ruckus and disrupt the order,Xu Bohan said calmly, They dare to challenge the courts authority, so they have to ept the consequences.


    Im relieved to hear that.An Lan smiled.


    What? Arent you just worried about me?Xu Bohans tone suddenly became a little cheerful, Lawyer An gets paid at 46 Yuan per minute, I wonder how much money this call has cost Lawyer An.


    Yes, I wonder if Chief Judge Xu shouldpensate me.An Lan joked.


    Illpensate,Xu Bohan lowered his voice. Illpensate myself to you.


    An Lan giggled, Youre already mine, do you still need topensate me?


    Youre right,Xu Baohans lips curled into a charming smile. My rights to life, freedom, property and dignity are all yours.


    Coincidentally, the office door was open, and Su Run, who had just walked in, felt goosebumps all over the floor when he heard this.


    F * ck, was this his own leader? When a legal worker said romantic words, it was simply too innovative.


    Thinking about how he also worked in the court, the loving words he usually said were simply not decent enough. Very good, he had to learn this trick.

 Chapter 1905. You Took the Initiative to Look for Me for the First Time

    Chapter 1905. You Took the Initiative to Look for Me for the First Time


    At thew firm.


    An Lan hung up the phone and looked at the ring on her finger and her heart was filled with sweetness.


    In her opinion,ws were not romantic at all. Why did she feel that these human rights were so wonderful today.


    After discussing the case with her client that night, the time was still early that It was only past seven. Thinking that Xu Bohan had to work overtime tonight, she decided to drive to his court.


    On the way, she bought some night snacks and brought it over.


    When she reached the court, only a few lights were still on.


    She greeted the concierge and went straight to Xu Bohans office. The door was closed and she knocked on it.


    Come in,Xu Bohans low and cold voice sounded.


    She opened the door and entered. Xu Bohan did not turn back. He was still writing the verdict on hisputer, wearing his sses and tapping his keyboard loudly. He only replied to the person who came in, Just help me put the printing paper on the table.


    An Lan walked over and ced the night snack on his left.


    Xu Bohan frowned when he saw the snacks. Su Run, no wonder I didnt see you. You went to buy the snacks again


    He turned around and was stunned when he saw An Lan, You Why are you here?


    To deliver the night snacks,An Lan said with a smile, I wanted to see you on my way.


    Xu Bohan took off his sses and a hint of gentleness shed across his serious eyes when he looked at her. He reached out and pulled her onto hisp, wrapping his arms around her, This is the first time youve taken the initiative to look for me.


    Mm, I know youve worked hard.An Lan hung her arms around his neck, Do you want to eat something before you continue working overtime?


    Xu Bohan nodded with hesitation.


    An Lan did not buy anything like barbecues. After a few encounters, she could tell that Xu Bohan did not like to eat those things, so she bought some seafoodcongee, crepe pancake, dumplings and some sort.


    Men usually had bigger appetites. Xu Bohan finished a bowl of seafood congee in a few seconds, but he gave the prawns to An Lan.


    Dont give them all to me, you eat them.An Lan fed him with the prawns.


    Im full.Xu Bohan said.


    Open your mouth.An Lan ordered without further ado.


    Xu Bohan had no choice but to open his mouth and eat the prawns. He didnt know where she bought the congee, but as soon as he ate, he knew that it was definitely made from fresh prawns.


    It was just a simple night meal, but it was especially heartwarming.


    No matter how busy and tiring one was at work, it was always very satisfying to have someone you liked bring you a bowl of congee.


    After eating, Xu Bohan hugged her and kissed her for a while before softly saying, You should go back first, I dont know how long Ill be busy.


    You dont want me to apany you?An Lan raised her eyebrows.


    Xu Bohan shook his head decisively, Unless you sleep at my ce tonight.


    His ce was right next to the courthouse, so it would be convenient for him to return home after work. However, An Lans house was too far away, so staying at his ce at night was actually a very good decision.


    Thats a good idea, but its not realistic.An Lan red at him, thinking of something she shouldnt have thought of, and she was slightly embarrassed.


    Xu Bohan smiled as he adjusted his sses. He didnt say much, Go home earlier.


    Then dont stay toote.An Lan knew that it wasnt good for her to stay. With his personality, he might even send her home after work. When he arrived at home it would be 12pm with the back and forth.


    Okay.


    The next day, Xu Bohan was presiding over Zhao Pings case.


    After an hour and a half of trial, Xu Bohan directly acquitted Yue and released him on the spot.


    Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Pings father, Zhao Gui, grabbed a chair and rushed towards Xu Bohan, He killed my son, its alright that you didnt have him arrested, but you even want to release him. How did you handle the trial, you bastard, did you take money from Yue?

 Chapter 1906. Sent The Person In Charge to Look For Me, And Tell Him I Could Help Him

    Chapter 1906. Sent The Person In Charge to Look For Me, And Tell Him I Could Help Him


    However, before Zhao Gui could reach him, he was stopped by the police.


    Xu Baohan stood on the stage with a cold gaze. Su Run, who was beside him, stood up and said angrily, All the evidence is clear. Not only did your son want to vite Yues wife, after he was discovered by Yue, he took a vicious move against Yue and had already affected her personal safety. Yues defensive actions do not require criminal responsibility. If you are not satisfied, you can appeal. The court is not a ce where you can create trouble.


    Bullsh*t, Zhao Gui roared as he was caught by the police. My son has been killed. This is the first time Ive seen someonemit murder and he doesnt need to go to jail. I think you guys have been bribed and refused to admit it.


    The reporters on the backstage, who hadnt yet dispersed, started whispering amongst themselves. The other members of the Zhao family started to take the lead toin with curses and tears.


    Xu Baohan narrowed his eyes and warned expressionlessly, In court, insulting and ndering a public prosecutor is an act of contempt. If the circumstances are serious, you will be detained or sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not more than three years. All of you should consider your options.


    After that, he turned around and left without looking back.


    When Su Run left, the agitated Zhao Gui was brought out of the court by the police.


    Xu Baohan returned to his office, Su Runined angrily, These people are simply unreasonable now. If we lose the case, they use us of bribing. We work hard to analyze the case, understand the situation, and mediate the case. We are exhausted every day, yet we are scolded and misunderstood by others. Why dont they think that the evidence they prepared isnt enough, or that their son deserves it?


    Youve met so many people like this, whats there to be angry about? Xu Baohan poured him a cup of warm water, Youll be where I am today in the future. Youll always have to learn to control yourself, be calm, and be strict. Even though youre often scolded, as long as youre doing the right thing, its enough. Didnt you see the way I hugged my wife when you left?


    Su Run was stunned and nodded deeply.


    ..


    Zhao Gui was simply expelled from the main entrance.


    He tried to break in several times, but was stopped by the security guards.


    He Mingqian had just finished a mediation case today. When he came out of the building, he saw this scene.


    He unbuttoned his suit, and his mood was indescribably depressed. Ever since Song Ruixueswyers letter arrived, he felt like a mountain was pressing down on him and he felt like he was going to suffocate at any moment.


    Whats themotion up ahead? He frowned as he asked the assistant beside him.


    It seems to be the case of Zhao Pings murder. Xu Baohan is the main judge. Court starts today, Yue was acquitted and released home. The Zhao family wasnt satisfied, so they started causing a ruckus at the entrance, The assistant said in a low voice. They kept saying that Xu Baohan was bribed.


    He Mingqian raised his brows abruptly, his gaze frozen for a moment before he suddenly smiled strangely and passed it to the assistant, Give this business card to the Zhao family. Tell the person in charge toe and look for me. Tell him that I can help him. Bring that person to the corner in front. Ill wait for you there.


    The assistant was stunned for a moment before he quickly understood. He gave a thumbs up and said, Great move, Lawyer He.


    Hurry up.


    The corner of He Mingqians mouth twitched.


    About fifteen minutester, the assistant brought Zhao Gui over and Zhao Gui got into the car, he said bluntly, Who are you? I heard that you can help me. Dont tell me you think Ill ask you to appeal? I know that youwyers are all money sucking vampires. I dont have that much money to appeal. I just want the murderer to pay with his life. Xu is clearly on Yues side.

 Chapter 1907. Suicide

    Chapter 1907. Suicide


    Even if you want me to appeal for you, Im afraid I wont be able to help you. He Mingqian handed Zhao Gui a cigarette, You said it yourself, Xu Baohan is biased towards the murderer of your son. Xu Baohan just has to liaise with the relevant parties during the second trial, and you wont be able to help your son. You dont understand howplicated this industry is.


    Zhao Gui was shocked, he took the cigarette and started cursing, Son of a b*tch, I knew that Xu is bullying poor people like us. What do you think we should do then? If it really doesnt work out, my wife and I will carry my sons photo and go to the entrance of the courtyard to cause a ruckus.


    He Mingqian smiled, You dare to cause a ruckus? I admire you. Thest person who caused a ruckus hasnte out of jail yet. Of course, you arent afraid but the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. You dont want the second trial, so the only way is to cause a ruckus and attract the attention of the media. Who doesnt know that such a person is embezzling and epting bribes? When the timees, the higher authority will personally investigate him. When that timees, your sons case will have a chance.


    That makes sense, Zhao Guis eyes lit up. Then how can I not get caught?


    Create a suicide scene, He Mingqian took a puff of his cigarette and said, Dont worry, nothing will happen. Every time there is a suicide, nothing has happened yet. The fire department has already filled the air cushion below. Dont you see that the workers at the construction site are all like this at the end of the year?


    Thats a good idea, Zhao Gui couldnt stop praising him. But why are you so helpful? You also have a grudge with that Xu guy?


    Yes, He Mingqian nodded and smiled bitterly. Not only did he use his power and influence to steal my girlfriend, he also causes me to lose my reputation. I might not be able to be awyer very soon and I might even go to jail.


    Zhao Gui suddenly understood. That son of a b*tch.


    Theres nothing I can do, He Mingqian sighed. In any case, this is just my opinion. Whether you want to implement it or not is up to you. I just feel that your sons death is a pity.


    Thats right, the murderer must be punished, Zhao Gui nodded his head vigorously.


    In the evening, just as Xu Baohan was about to get off work after writing the verdict, there was suddenly amotion outside the window.


    He didnt pay much attention to it. Just as he was texting An Lan, Su Run rushed in from outside. Chief Judge, Zhao Gui ismitting suicide upstairs.


    Xu Baohans eyes darkened. Why is he upstairs? I thought he wasnt allowed toe in.


    I dont know, maybe he climbed over a wall somewhere, Su Run smiled bitterly, Hes shouting on the radio, causing a hugemotion. I think even the reporters have been alerted. As you know, in some public trials, there will always be reporters who dont have any newsing over. No matter what, you have to go up and take a look.


    Have you notified the fire department?


    I think theyre on their way, Su Run said. No matter what, we still have to persuade him. Although Zhao Gui might be putting on an act to force you, itll be troublesome if he really jumps off the building.


    When Xu Baohan went up to the top floor with a dark expression, there were already many people there.


    Zhao Gui stood at the edge of the building, not allowing anyone to get close. No one else dared to go over for fear of provoking him.


    Lawyer Zhao, who had been trying to persuade others, quickly came over and whispered, Old Xu, hes standing in a blind spot. Its not appropriate to send someone over to pull him down. Besides, the ce hes standing at is too dangerous. You have to stabilize him a little. Even a firemans air cushion takes some time.


    I know, Xu Baohan nodded and walked over.


    Zhao Gui shouted, Donte over. If youe any closer, Ill jump down.

 Chapter 1908. Bo Han

    Chapter 1908. Bo Han


    Xu Baohan stopped and spoke calmly, You must stand firm then. Please promise me you wont get emotional. Its very easy to slip and fall there. It rained yesterday and theres moss growing on it. If you slip, the firemen may not be able to support your body weight in time and your bones may all just shatter into pieces. This position in particr will likely result in your brain hitting the ground and your brain matter oozing out of your head like soft tofu pudding. Youve had tofu pudding before right?


    Zhao Guis face turned pale instantly, Shut up.


    He tightened his grip on the railing subconsciously as he spoke. Fck, he didnt want to die, he thought.


    I cant shut up. Im really concerned about the situation youre currently in, Xu Bao Han said coldly, his tone matching the disdainful look on his handsome face.


    Zhao Gui was speechless.


    As it turned out, his colleagues present in court were too. This was a really good way of persuading someone not tomit suicide.


    Would my son have died if it not for Yue? Zhao Gui took a deep breath to steady his mind and focus his thoughts, If you dont sentence him, Ill jump down from here.


    Following this, he held the radio and began to sob.


    My poor son was killed for nothing. Im not even asking for Yue Xin to be sentenced to death. Im merely hoping that the court sees he needs to be locked up for 20 to 30 years, he said loudly.


    His booming voice and tall stature caught the attention of many passer-bys outside the courthouse who were on their way home. They snapped numerous pictures.


    Su Run grew more anxious, Your Honour, if he continues crying like this, people may start to think that you were the one who took the bribe. What the heck is going on? He used you previously of taking the bribe and yet it seems like he has decided to change his strategy. While hes no longer shouting at or attacking you, every word that has left his mouth harms you in some way.


    The people of the Zhao family arent even good people to begin with. They may have been too agitated in court before. They seem to have calmed down but it just might be the case that someone is directing their actions now and thats the reason why theyvee upstairs tomit suicide, Xu Baohan frowned.


    After a quick moment of silence, he turned to Zhao Gui and said, If you really care about your son, I wouldnt mind letting you rush back to quickly submit your documents and put in a request for a retrial.


    I dont want to have a retrial, Zhao Gui shook his head, I want you to retract the verdict from this afternoon. You can either bring Yue Xin back or hold another court session. If you refuse agree, Im afraid I wont be able to stay here much longer.


    Secretary Liu said angrily, Dont you think youre being too shameless? How could you even request for him to retract the verdict so easily? What kind of court do you think he presides over? You even asked for another court session  its ridiculous. We cant make an exception for you. There are so many people watching our every move. We cant ept your offer, even if we were to do so verbally. If people were to catch wind of this, we will most definitely be aughing stock.


    Mr Liu, calm down, Judge Zhao said hurriedly, This doesnt mean that there arent other ways of resolving this. If someone really dies, Bao Han, youd be implicated too.


    Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his eyebrows. If a death were to really happen on his watch, he might get demoted or be investigated.


    Judge Zhao, you guys hold him back. Ill go around the back and drag him out. As for his wife, you guys will definitely need to create a diversion, Xu Bao Han said decisively.


    Su Run grew anxious, Its dangerous for the police to investigate the area. You cant take the risk.


    Arent there firefighters there for support?


    Xu Baohan patted him on the shoulder and said to Zhao Gui, The matter youre referring to isnt one that I can decide on. Ill ask the director for his opinion. Just wait a moment.


    Alright, go quickly then. If your director doesnt agree, Ill jump, Zhao Gui said.


    After Xu Baohan left, he quickly walked around the side.

 Chapter 1909. They Had Promised

    Chapter 1909. They Had Promised


    The court building itself had ten floors and with the addition of the roof, the whole structure was twelve floors high. The space around the building was also incredibly limited so he had to be very careful with every step he took.


    Aside from being careful for safetys sake, he also had to be careful to avoid Zhao Guis detection.


    Fortunately, the colleagues in the court were doing a good job by engaging Zhao Gui and his family in conversation. However, right when he was about to approach Zhao Gui, someone shouted from afar, Zhao Gui, be careful, someonesing from the side.


    Zhao Gui nced quickly to the side and saw that the person hed been warned about was Xu Baohan. Trembling with anger, he asked, Didnt you say earlier that you were going to look for your director? You lied to me.


    Yes, I lied to you, Xu Baohans sharp gaze focused on his eyes as he said firmly, The conditions you raised are simply impossible to meet. The court cannot set such a precedent. You arent the first one who hase to the court tomit suicide and you definitely wont be thest.


    Zhao Gui hadnt expected him to be so unyielding. He was now at a loss as to what to do.


    Seeing this, Xu Baohan took the opportunity to move a few steps closer.


    If youe any closer, I will jump down immediately, Zhao Gui warned. He tried to calm himself down but he remained as furious as ever, Are you trying to force me to my death? The son whom I raised so painstakingly died just like that. If you fail to offer me an exnation today, I will die here.


    Alright, I will give you an exnation, Xu Baohan said, You can continue to appeal. If the second trial doesnt work, then well proceed to the third. If the city courts dont work in your favour then youll go to the province. By the time youre well and done and when all the judges have upheld the original verdict, it would then be time for you to reflect on why your son would assault another mans wife. Youll be forced to think about how you educated him.


    What do you mean? Are you trying to use us of not educating our son well? Zhao Gui asked, knowing deep down that he wanted to grab ahold of Xu Baohan and push the both of them over the balcony together.


    ording to the evidence gathered by the opposingwyer, this isnt the first time your son has forcefully assaulted a woman, is it? Xu Baohan sneered, How can you me those women when you havent even, as parents, reflected on why your son would do such a thing?


    Thats right. If those women didnt dress so provocatively and hadnt seduced my son, my son wouldnt have taken a liking to them, Zhao Gui yelled.


    Xu Baohan took advantage of his emotional state and rushed up to grab his arm.


    Let go of me, Zhao Gui pushed him with all his might.


    Xu Baohan grabbed the railing of the narrow balcony with one hand and dragged him over the wall with the other.


    Su Run and the security guards of the court immediately rushed up to grab him.


    Zhao Gui struggled violently on the railing and roared loudly. Xu Baohans body was right on the edge of the narrow balcony and he instinctively wanted to grab the security guards hand. However, just as he was about to do so, he stepped on some moss. His body buckled and fell over the edge like a kite with a broken string.


    Back at thew firm, An Lan had called Xu Baohan a few times but no one had picked up. She grew frustrated  they had been deciding what to eat for dinner and all of a sudden hed just decided to not reply to her WeChat messages.


    Regardless of how busy he was, couldnt he just drop her a simple text? It seemed now he was refusing to pick up her calls as well.


    Where were they going to meet then?


    An Lan, shouldnt you be getting off work? You probably dont have to work overtime today right, Li Yuchen asked from her door. He had been getting ready to leave when he saw that the lights in her office were still on.


    Im waiting for a call, An Lan said gloomily, We were supposed to have dinner together, but its like radio silence now.


    Are you talking about Chief Judge Xu? Li Yuchen touched his chin thoughtfully, Could something have happened?


    Dont be such a jinx, An Lan rolled her eyes but her heart skipped a beat. Xu Baohan rarely missed her calls or went off the grid except for when he was in court or in meetings.


    Ill ask his assistant.


    She regretted not asking for Su Runs phone number directly thest time theyd met.

 Chapter 1910. He Might Have Died

    Chapter 1910. He Might Have Died


    Su Run didnt even reply her.


    She felt increasingly uneasy and decided to finally go up to the courthouse to take a look.


    While she was on her way to the courthouse, she suddenly received a WeChat call from Su Run.


    Lawyer An, Im sorry, something happened to my boss just now. I was busy apanying him to the hospital and missed your call, Su Run said hurriedly.


    Your boss? An Lans mind nked for a moment. A horn sounded loudly from behind her car and she was jolted back. She quickly drove the car to the side of the road.


    Are you talking about Baohan? What happened to him? she asked.


    Su Run answered, slightly annoyed, After the trial this afternoon, the intiff decided he wasnt satisfied with the holding and went upstairs to attempt tomit suicide. Baohan tried to save him but he was pushed down the stairs by him instead. Thankfully, the firemen had already ced air cushions around the area which reduced the impact of the fall. However, he was still injured and had to be admitted to the hospital.


    An Lan sucked in a breath of cold air. She thought about how tall the building of the court was  even if there had been an air cushion surrounding the block, it would have be difficult for him to fall and remain unscathed.


    Are his injuries serious? Is he beside you now? Is it convenient for you to pass the phone to him to talk? Can he still talk? she asked.


    The doctor in the ambnce is checking him right now. Its not very convenient for him to speak to you, but rest assured, his life is definitely not in danger. He hasnt lost a leg or an arm, Su Run then quickly told her the address of the hospital, Lawyer An, are youing over now?


    Of course, Im definitelying now.


    Her boyfriend had fallen from a building and so she was definitely in a hurry to get to the hospital. Nevertheless, she was still slightly relieved when she heard that his life was not in danger.


    After hanging up the phone, An Lan immediately followed the navigation route to the hospital. It was rush hour and the traffic was very heavy. She decided to stop at a parking lot on the side of the road and take the subway instead.


    After switching trains twice, she finally arrived at the hospital at 7.30 am.


    When An Lan first caught a glimpse of Xu Baohan, he was being pushed out of the CT room. He was lying on the hospital bed with a neck brace fixed on his neck. His hair was a little messy and his eyes were closed. His handsome face was slightly pale and entirely smooth. He was just lying there, his entire body deep in a peaceful sleep, as if he was shielded from themotion around him.


    This sight made An Lans heart ache.


    She had failed to truly understand him in the past because she never really interacted with him, causing many misunderstandings. She only began to slowly understand what he was like after talking to him. He had always been independent, upright and impartial. He was not affected by what the world thought when he tried cases. However, there are still ignorant people who do not understand the difficulties judges like him face. They would only praise him for his integrity if they win the case but if they lose, the first thing they would curse and insult him behind his back.


    Nevertheless, his heart and resolve never wavered.


    If not for his luck today, he might already be dead.


    With these thoughts running through her mind, An Lan took a deep breath and walked over. When Su Run saw her, he said hurriedly, Lawyer An, youre here.


    An Lan nodded at him, her gaze focusing on Xu Baohan, How did the doctors examination go?


    Theres nothing wrong with his internal organs, Su Run said happily, Its just that his neck was injured when he fell. His head also absorbed some impact so his hearing seems to have been affected. The doctor said this effect is only temporary. Hell have to rest a lot but hell slowly recover.


    An Lan nodded. No wonder he didnt react when she spoke earlier, she thought.


    Is he asleep now? she asked.


    I dont think so. Its just that his head might be experiencing some difort and his eyes are probably still not adjusted to the light, so he kept them closed. Ill let him know that youre here now, Su Run bent down to talk to him.


    An Lan stopped him. Since his head isnt feeling well, let him rest for a while. Does he have any other examinations that need to bepleted?

 Chapter 1911. You Look Quite Cute

    Chapter 1911. You Look Quite Cute


    There were a lot of people paying fees.


    Looking at the long queue, An Lan decisively tied Xu Baohans medical card to her phone.


    Seeing Xu Baohans medical card on her phone, An Lan had a strange feeling in her heart.


    Other than herself, the medical card on her phone would only be tied to the person closest to her, but now Xu Baohan had be that person.


    She paid the fees and received the medicine. When she went to the ward, Xu Baohans ward was already packed with people from various units. The double room was filled with fruits and flowers and they were all piled up on the bedside table and on the floor.


    Xu Baohan had already woken up and was lying on his back. The Director was sitting beside him and nagging at him. He knew that his ears werent working right now, so he spoke loudly as well.


    Baohan, with this condition, you should rest for half a month. You can forget about those cases for now and let the other judges take over. It just so happens that you havent taken your annual leave for two years


    The more Xu Baohan listened, the deeper his frown was. Director, does age mean that Im taking my annual leave this time?


    The Director,


    Didnt he say that he had a concussion? Why was it still so sharp?


    He was also helpless. There were so many cases piled up in the office.


    Director, Xu Baohan tugged at his slightly cold lips. This should be considered a sick leave, and in fact, it should be considered as upational ident


    Yes, I havent finished. Of course, annual leave doesnt count. The director patted the back of his hand. Its precisely because you havent taken annual leave for two years, you have to take a good break this time.


    Yes, my situation now isnt quite the same as before, Xu Baohan said weakly. At the end of the year, I also need to take annual leave to apany my girlfriend on sightseeing trips.


    Lawyer An, heres your medicine Su Run shouted at the person standing at the door.


    Xu Baohans expression froze. He rolled his eyes, wanting to look at An Lan, but he couldnt move his neck. He could only helplessly wait for An Lan to walk over.


    An Lan was a little embarrassed because arge group of people in the office were staring at her. Usually, these people had seen her in court, but in private they rarely met.


    Facing such a situation, she could only nod at everyone one by one before walking to the bed. Just then, Xu Baohan reached out a hand towards her. She grabbed it and bent down to look at him.


    Xu Baohans expression was no pleasant, and he said, go back after you put the medicine down


    An Lan stunned, not understanding what just happened.


    Judge Zhao quickly said, Baohan, how could you do this? Lawyer An rushed over when he heard that you were in trouble. You need someone to take care of you now.


    Thats right, Judge Xie chimed in. Lawyer An even went to get the medicine for you. Its fine if you dont give us a smile, but you have to be more polite to your girlfriend, otherwise youll be single again.


    Xu Baohans face became more and more stiff. After a long while, his thin lips finally squirmed as he said, I cant move my neck now, its quite ugly


    Everyone came to a realization. For the time Xu Baohan was caring so much about his image.


    An Lan understood and was a little speechless. At this point in time, was she the kind of person who would care about how he looked? Moreover, even such a fall couldnt hide his charm. Look at how ravishing his neck was.


    Dont think too much. An Lan lowered her head andforted him. You look quite cute, like an African giraffe, really.

 Chapter 1912. As Though She Had Became His Wife

    Chapter 1912. As Though She Had Became His Wife


    Xu Baohans originally pale face stiffened when he heard that.


    Was she consoling him or mocking him.


    The colleagues in the ward almostughed out loud when they heard that, but they held it in. Everyone was very happy to see Xu Baohan suffer. After all, they had always disliked his cold and aloof persona.


    Why arent you guys leaving? Xu Baohans cold gaze swept across his colleagues. There are a lot of people here, disturbing me, the patients recuperation. Didnt you hear what the doctor said? I need to rest. Also, if other colleagues want toe visit me, tell them theres no need.


    This was an outright dismissal.


    An Lan was embarrassed by his unreasonable and cold approach. Dont misunderstand, he had just been injured and might not be in a good mood. And itste, if you dont go back, your family will be worried.


    We understand, Lawyer Zhao said with a smile. We know what kind of person he is. Weve worked with him for many years. Then well take our leave first, Lawyer An, well leave Judge Xu to you for the next few days.


    The director also said cheerfully, you will also need to spend some effort on the meals. Let him recover and return to work as soon as possible. We need him.


    An Lan:


    Why did she have to take care of him all of a sudden? She even had to take care of his meals, making it seem like she was already his wife.


    Lawyer An, Ill be leaving too. Su Run sighed as she handed a pile of test results to her,menting, its great that our boss has a girlfriend. I can also save a lot of trouble. Oh, right, if you need anything, you can call me. I can deliver it even in the middle of the night. If theres nothing else, I might not be able toe until noon tomorrow. After what happened today, there are still a lot of follow-up work to be done.


    An Lan nodded. When she sent them out, she asked, how is Zhao Gui now? is he under control?


    How? Su Run said in a bad mood, When that guy saw Chief Judge Xu fall down the stairs, he was scared out of his wits. I dont know if he did it on purpose or identally, but he twisted his leg. Unfortunately, he had also been sent to the hospital. He should be in the emergency room. The police are watching him.


    In the emergency room, right? An Lan suddenly repeated.


    Su Run felt a chill run down his spine. Youre not going to cause trouble for him, are you?


    Why cant I cause trouble for him? An Lan smiled. Xu Baohan isnt married to me, Im his girlfriend now, Whats wrong with me going to look for him in the name of Baohans girlfriend?


    Su Run panicked, Lawyer An, dont go alone. Zhao Gui still has two brothers, theyre all here. Initially when Chief Judge Xu approached Zhao Gui, he was almost sessful. If it wasnt for Zhao Guis second brothers reminder, Zhao Gui wouldnt have noticed and wouldnt had fallen off the buildingter.


    An Lan sneered. Then we can say that they were deliberately causing trouble.


    Making trouble is making trouble, but they weremitting suicide. At that time, they also didnt insult the judge. Its not that our people havent interrogated Zhao Guis second brother on the spot, but he said that he saw someone approaching his younger brother and was afraid that something would happen to him, so they reminded him. Su Run sighed, even if we sue them, they wont be punished. At most, they will be detained for a few days.


    This group of people is quite organized, An Lan muttered, Ive dealt with this kind of people before. They havent had much education and are the type of vige tyrants. They are impulsive and irrational. Is this the advice from thewyer Zhao Gui hired?

 Chapter 1913. Are You Jealous

    Chapter 1913. Are You Jealous


    Su Run was stunned and scratched his head, Thats possible. Our boss also said that he had someone to guide him. After the trial, Zhao Gui impulsively wanted to hit us and said that the Chief Judge was corrupt. But after he came back, he directly threatened us with suicide. Oh right, Zhao Guiswyer is He Zhong.


    An Lan nodded, I have He Zhongs phone number. I will ask him personally. By the way, I think you can check the CCTV at the entrance. After leaving the court, where did the Zhao family go? Who did they contact? Were they with He Zhong the whole time, or were they causing trouble at the entrance?


    Su Runs eyes lit up and gave her a thumbs up. Thats right. Why didnt I think that the Zhao family wouldmit suicide not long after the trial? They definitely didnt go far. Maybe they could see something from the entrance. An Lan, youre really smart.


    An Lan shook her head and frowned. It would be fine if the Zhao family came up with this on their own, but if it was someone elses suggestion, then it means that this person is really sinister. We need to be on guard.


    After Su Run and the others left


    The ward finally quieten down. An Lan returned to Xu Baohans bedside, his face was expressionless and sharp. What were you guys talking about? Why did you guys talk for so long?


    An Lan was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly bent down and said with a smile, lets talk about legal knowledge. I realized that you have a bright future as a little assistant. Your reaction is quick, and youre not bad looking.


    Xu Baohans jet-ck pupils contracted slightly, his face as dark as a chisel.


    He moved his thin lips, extremely hating himself for being like this.


    An Lanughed when she saw how he looked like he was about to suffer internal injuries. Are you jealous?


    Xu Baohan:


    Was there a need to spell it out? Anyone with a discerning eye could tell.


    In the future stay away from him, Xu Baohan ordered coldly.


    Im lying. An Lan sat on the bed and rolled her eyes at him, Im asking him about Zhao Gui. What is there to be jealous of your assistant? Hes not as handsome as you, hes not as tall as you, hes not as sessful as you, hes not as old as you, and his blood sugar isnt as high as yours


    Enough, Xu Baohan couldnt take it any longer and interrupted. He didnt care about the first part, but what was the back part.


    My blood sugar isnt high, its normal, Xu Baohan said dryly. The blood test is on the side. If you dont believe me, you can take a look.


    I wont look. Normally age and blood sugar are directly proportional. An Lan saw how cute he was when he was trying his best to suppress his frustration and couldnt help reaching out to touch his hair.


    Xu Baohan felt slightly better after beingforted by her.


    Are you hungry? An Lan bent down and asked. What do you want to eat, I


    Dont trouble yourself, just go to the hospital cafeteria and buy some food. Xu Baohan felt sorry for making her rush all the way here. He had originally nned to go on a date tonight.


    I dont n to go out and buy food. An Lan took out her phone. You can order delivery now. Itll be delivered in half an hour, Judge Xu.


    Xu Baohan:


    Fine, he was overthinking it. He thought she would go through so much trouble to buy food for him.


    Look at you. Lets have some light congee, and a serving of coconut milk cake, prawn dumpling, rice pudding, chicken feet, pigeon soup


    Xu Baohan reminded, An Lan, youve ordered too much, its a bit wasteful


    Its alright. Youre in the hospital now, you need to eat well. An Lan said guiltily. Actually, it was mainly because she was too hungry and she couldnt help ordering more when she suddenly saw so many delicacies.

 Chapter 1914. No Money, No People

    Chapter 1914. No Money, No People


    An old man in his sixties was lying beside them. After hearing their conversation, he sighed with envy. Young chad, your wife is really considerate and generous.


    Xu Baohan blushed and nced at the embarrassed An Lan before exining in a low voice, shes not my wife, shes my girlfriend.


    Its true, she treats you so well even when she is just your girlfriend. The old man nodded. Then you have to cherish her and marry her as soon as possible. Look at my wife, Ive been hospitalised for so long and she only knows how to cook vegetables and stew soup every time. Im sick of it. Doesnt she know that there are still takeout in this world?


    An Lan felt a little guilty. Actually, eating too much takeout wasnt good for health.


    Xu Baohan didnt seem to mind. He turned around and asked An Lan, how much is it? And the medicine just now too.


    Forget it, its not much, dont give it to me. An Lan waved her hand. There was no need to calcte such a small amount of money so clearly.


    I didnt say I was going to give it to you, Xu Baohan said calmly.


    An Lan:


    Could this boyfriend speak nicely.


    Xu Baohan smiled. But from now on, you can keep my card, I will give you the password to my Alipay ount, you can buy whatever you want.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows. Arent you afraid that Ill run away with your money?


    I dont believe, Xu Baohan replied calmly. I can report you, youll be arrested regardless of where you go. I know thew well.


    An Lans lips twitched. A judge is really someone you cant afford to offend.


    As long as you take me away, you can take however amount of money you want. Xu Baohan stared into her eyes. But you cant just take the money and not take the person.


    An Lan burst intoughter. Youre still in the mood to joke around? Are you really having a concussion?


    I have a headache, Im nauseous, and have the urge to throw up. Xu Baohan pursed his pale lips. Its just that I can withstand pressure well. Do you think I fell from the twelfth floor for nothing?


    An Lan sighed, Dont take such risks next time. Its not like you can bepletely safe with an air cushion. There are even people who fall to their deaths when they bounce off the cushion. Chief Judge Xu, its not easy for me to find a boyfriend who is so perfect at the age of 29. If you still take such risks next time, I I will consider passing you off.


    Xu Baohans face darkened when he heard that.


    An Lan patted the back of his hand, Baohan, Im not as strong as you think. I dont want to be a widow in the future. I think everyone should think more about the people around them. Have you ever thought that if we were to get married in the future and I had a child, but you die because you were trying to save someone? I wouldnt think of you as a great person. I dont have such noble sentiments. You will leave behind a good name, but you never spare a thought for the people you leave behind. Thats why I dont want you to take any risks and I dont want to go through this kind of pain. After all, I dont want a hero.


    Hero? Xu Baohan smiled bitterly. Youre thinking too much. I just feel that if something were to happen to Zhao Gui on the rooftop today, I would be investigated or even suspended. There were so many reporters at the scene. Even if I was honest and magnanimous in my heart, there would always be people who woulde and challenge me and cause trouble. They could easily ruin my life. I cant lose my job now. If I lose my job, how can I get married?


    An Lan didnt know whether tough or cry. He was still thinking about marrying a wife given that situation.


    At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.


    For the first time, Nian Junting called her. After picking up the phone, he wasnt in a hurry to speak. Instead, he was silent for a while before asking in a low voice, An Lan, I saw the news that Xu Baohan fell down from the building. Is he still alive?

 Chapter 1915. Don’t Put in a Good Words for Nian Junting in Front of Me

    Chapter 1915. Don��t Put in a Good Words for Nian Junting in Front of Me


    He asked so harshly, yet An Lan actually felt that she could feel a trace of concern from it. Perhaps she knew Mr Nian too well. Hes still alive. Apart from the neck injury and concussion, the rest are fine for now.


    Xu Baohan, who was waiting for her to pick up the phone, frowned when he heard that.


    What did she mean by the rest are fine for now? Will he not be fine in the future?.


    I knew it. He wont die so easily. On the other side of the phone, Nian Juntings tone suddenly became lighter. Which hospital are you in? No matter what, were still ssmates. But Im on a business trip these few days. Ill ask Lu Kang to send some supplements over.


    An Lan told him the hospitals address.


    Oh right, let Xu Baohan answer the phone. I cant reach him. Nian Junting suddenly said.


    An Lan handed the phone to Xu Baohan. He put it to his ear and said, Im fine. Ill be discharged in a few days.


    Get this straight, were not that close. Nian Junting said arrogantly, Im not concerned about you. Its just that the news of you falling from a building has been circting. Your junior-high schools ssmates are all talking about it.


    Im sorry to trouble everyone to talk about me. I think Ill live longer than you. Xu Baohan said in an indifferent tone.


    With your current condition, Im worried. Nian Junting chuckled. You must protect yourself. If you force Xiao Si toe out of the mountain to help An Lan matchmake, youll be in trouble. You better leave the job of pouncing onto people from upstairs to the police and firemen. They have at least got some experience. Youre a judge, why are you meddling into their business. Dont get yourself involved. If I were you, I wouldnt have rushed over to save him given that situation. He wouldnt have jumped off the building. He was holding onto the railing tightly.


    Xu Baohan raised his hand to massage his temple. This guy was as sharp-tongued and mean as usual.


    An Lan saw this and thought that he wasnt feeling well, so she quickly took the phone over and said, Mr Nian, hes not feeling well, Ill hang up now.


    I guess he was provoked by me. Okay, take care of yourself. Nian Junting said. Although youre taking care of him, you should still eat, sleep and drink properly. After all, hes tough. Think about it, he didnt even die when he fell from the twelfth floor. He must have been lucky to survive.


    Eh okay. An Lan was confused. She couldnt tell if he was being sarcastic or sincere.


    After hanging up the phone, Xu Baohan nced at her and said, If he wants to visit me, just say no.


    An Lanughed and said, Mr Nian is overseas, so he asked Lu Kang to send you some supplements. Mr Nian is actually a nice guy, but hes mean. However, hes improved a lot since he got married.


    Dont put in good words for Nian Junting in front of me. Xu Baohan felt that his headache was getting worse.


    Let me peel an orange for you, An Lan said.


    There were too many fruits and flowers in the office. An Lan tidied up the office, then dinner was delivered.


    Xu Baohan ate some congee and pastries, then fell asleep tiredly.


    When he woke up, he didnt know what time it was. It was quiet in the ward, except for the old men who was sleeping beside him. An Lan was nowhere to be found.


    She might have gone back.


    If it was before, Xu Baohan wouldnt have cared. After all, when he wasnt feeling well, he was already used to having no one around him. He didnt even have a hot meal to eat. But today, for some reason, his heart suddenly felt empty.

 Chapter 1916. For the first time Xu Baohan Wanted to Crawl under the Bed

    Chapter 1916. For the first time Xu Baohan Wanted to Crawl under the Bed


    But he could understand.


    Who would want to stay in a ce like the hospital? Even if An Lan stayed, she would only be able to spend the night in a chair or share a small hospital bed with him. His hospital bed was too squeezy. It would be good for An Lan to go back.


    Xu Baohan looked out of the window, a crescent moon hung in the starry night sky.


    He seemed to finally understand the true meaning of marriage. It was to rightfully be able keep someone by his side so that he could see her whenever he wanted.


    At this moment, sounds of footsteps suddenly came from the door. He quickly turned around. It wasnt An Lan, but a nimble olddy. The moment she entered, she immediately pped the old man beside her awake.


    When the old man woke up, he said in a daze, didnt I tell you not toe?


    If I didnte, you wouldnt even know how to wipe your face, and you wouldnt even know how to wash your feet. Do I not know you? The olddy said as she went to the bathroom to get some water, passing by Xu Baohan. Eh, you have a new patient here. The young man is quite good looking, much better looking than my old man when he was young.


    No way, I was definitely better looking than him when I was young okay? The old man retorted indignantly.


    The olddy couldnt be bothered with him, so she grabbed a towel and threw it at the old mans face.


    After the old man finished washing up, the olddy looked at Xu Baohan. Do you want me to pour you some water to wash your face? Are you here alone tonight? Wheres your family? Youre married, right? Didnt your wifee to take care of you?


    Xu Baohans handsome face was a little unnatural. He wouldnt know if he wasnt hospitalized, but once he was, it was a little awkward to be alone.


    Why are you being so long-winded, the old man said. He has a girlfriend, shes much prettier than you when you were younger.


    Hes more handsome than you, obviously his girlfriend will be prettier than me. The olddy sneered at the old man.


    Xu Baohans heart warmed slightly. Although the two of them were bickering, he could tell that their rtionship was good.


    Suddenly, he felt a little envious. Perhaps this was the kind of rtionship he wanted. Even when they were old, they could still be affectionate and take care of each other.


    Would An Lan and him be like this when they are old? Would they ever have such a day.


    Xu Baohans thoughts ran wild.


    Until the olddy said, Young man, if theres nothing I can help you with, then Ill turn off the lights.


    Xu Baohan was embarrassed for a moment before saying, please help me pull the curtains.


    The old man said, Hurry up and give him the urinal under the bed.


    The olddy came to a realization and took out the new urinal under his bed. She smiled and said, I am old enough to be your mother, whats there to be embarrassed about?


    After she said that, she pulled the curtain and turned off the lights, but the dim light from the corridor shone in.


    Xu Baohan had just stuffed the urinal under the nket for a while when he heard footstepsing from the door. He thought it was the doctor who was doing rounds but the footsteps came straight towards him.


    He was a little flustered. He raised his head and saw An Lan walking towards his bed. She looked at him suspiciously. How long have you been awake?


    Xu Baohan:  you, didnt you go back?


    Since when did I go back? An Lan was confused. I went to get your chest x-ray result. Su run told me to get it at this time. Why are you curled up like that and not lying down properly? The doctor said you cant move around today.


    Xu Baohan:


    The olddy who was sharing the bed with the old man smiled. The young man is using the urinal.


    An Lans mouth was wide open in shock.


    This was the first time Xu Baohan wished he could crawl under the bed.


    This was the most awkward moment in her life. Luckily, the lights were turned off and she could not see his embarrassed expression.

 Chapter 1917. Nothing To Live For

    Chapter 1917. Nothing To Live For


    An Lan was also extremely embarrassed.


    How could she have forgotten about this, especially since they werent the only ones in the ward.


    She tried her best to remain calm andposed. Oh, no wonder. Do you want me to pour your urine for you?


    Xu Baohan braced himself and replied awkwardly, no need, Ill do it myself tomorrow morning.


    I dont think thats a good idea. Putting it under the bed will smell, right? An Lans imagination ran wild.


    Xu Baohan clenched his fists. He felt his temple throbbing in pain again. He must have been angered by her. Didnt she know that he would be embarrassed? Moreover, he didnt want her to do such a thing. He was afraid that it would affect his image in her heart.


    The olddy beside himughed and said, forget it, whats there to be embarrassed about? Its your girlfriend, not someone else. Sooner orter, she will be your wife. No matter how embarrassing it is, she will see it. There is no exception for her as well, especially when she is inbour. She has to rely on her husband to take care of her. A husband and a wife are suppose to rely on each other at times like this..


    Can you stop talking about their matters and go back to sleep? The old man yawned loudly. Youre such a busybody.


    Im telling the truth.


    With the two of them interrupting each other, the atmosphere eased a little.


    An Lan bent down and reached out for him. Give it to me.


    Xu Baohan hesitantly handed her the urinal andy down, looking as though he had nothing left to live for.


    An Lan wanted tough when she saw him like this when she returned. Actually, the olddys words made sense.


    There would be times when she would get sick and times when it would be inconvenient for her. Only when they had truly experienced it, would they be able to share hardships together, unlike some people who would run away after suffering.


    An Lan, go home and sleep, Xu Baohan suddenly said in a low voice. Theres no ce to sleep here.


    It was enough to know that she didnt go back earlier, but now he didnt want her to stay and suffer all night.


    I cant. An Lan shook her head. The doctor said that we have to be alert on the first night no matter what. Just in case of an emergency and you need someone to sign documents for you. Ill just sit here.


    Xu Baohan nced at the chair that didnt even have a backrest and frowned. You can sleep on the bed. Well squeeze a little. Ill move more to the side.


    An Lan was embarrassed, her cheeks blushing slightly. Your bed isnt that spacious. Forget it, Ill just sit here.


    There were other people in the ward, especially the olddy who was a busybody. The two of them spoke very softly and didnt dare to say too much.


    Xu Baohan was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.


    An Lan didnt sleep, so he felt bad and couldnt fall asleep. An Lan sat until one in the morning, her back aching and her eyelids fighting. At two in the morning, she couldnt take it anymore and climbs up the bed and curled up at the side to sleep. However, the air conditioner was on in the room and it was cold.


    Xu Baohan leaned over and gently covered her with the nket. The nket had his body temperature and it felt warm.


    An Lan couldnt be bothered anymore and rolled into the nket. When she was about to fall asleep, she thought gloomily that she should haveid down since the beginning. Why was she being so reserved? Anyway, this man would belong to her sooner orter.


    The next day, An Lan was woken up by a doctor who came to check on her.


    When she opened her eyes, there were three to four people standing in front of the bed. There were attending doctors, interns, and a bunch of people surrounding the bed.


    Xu Baohan had already woken up and was doing ECG.


    An Lans mind buzzed and she immediately sat up. Everyones gaze was on her. She pretended to be calm andposed, as though she had slept with this man countless times, so there was nothing to be nervous about, nothing to be shy about.

 Chapter 1918. SInce Young I never Had Any Foot Odor

    Chapter 1918. SInce Young I never Had Any Foot Odor


    Doctor, how is he?


    After the doctor finished his examination, An Lan asked, When can he be discharged?


    He can stay for another two days. If his concussion improves, he can be discharged, the doctor said, before he went to check on the other patients.


    At that moment, only Xu Baohan and her were left on the hospital bed, staring at each other. Xu Baohan still had a neck brace around his neck. His short hair was messy and he had not washed his face. An Lan smiled as she looked at him.


    Xu Baohan smiled as well. How did you sleepst night?


    It was alright, An Lan mumbled as she turned her face away. Its just Do you have foot odor? I kept smelling something strange when I sleep.


    Xu Baohans handsome face froze. I dont.


    After saying that, he felt that the problem was rather serious, but he was afraid that she would not believe him. He added, since young, I never had any foot odor.


    Is that so? An Lan blinked.


    Xu Baohan and An Lan looked at each other for a while, and in the end, he wasnt sure anymore. Could it be could it be that you didnt wash your feetst night?


    After saying that, the tips of his ears flushed into a cute red.


    An Lan looked at him and burst intoughter. Im lying, Ill get you some water to wash your face.


    I want to wash my feet too, Xu Baohan added.


    I was lying just now, An Lan turned tough.


    I know, but I still want to wash my feet, Xu Baohan repeated stubbornly.


    An Lan didnt expect him to care so much, but she still poured him some water to wash his feet. As she watched him continuously scrubbing his feet in the bucket, she was really worried that his skin would be damaged.


    After taking care of Xu Baohan, An Lan finally had time to tidy herself up. While she was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, she suddenly heard the olddy shout, Hey, who are you people? Why are you bringing so many cameras in?


    She hurriedly spat out her mouthwash and saw a few reporters standing in front of Xu Baohans bed to interview him. Judge Xu, Im a reporter from Xia City television station. Id like to interview you about the falling incident at the courthouse yesterday.


    Xu Baohan leaned on the pillow, his handsome brows furrowed tightly at the arrival of these people.


    However, the reporters ignored his expression and scrambled to raise their microphones in front of him. His neck was injured and he was unable to move, appearing rather helpless.


    As reporters, you seem tockmon sense, An Lans voice suddenly came from behind the reporters.


    Her voice had always been solemn and stern in court. When the reporters heard her voice, they subconsciously looked towards the source of her voice.


    The woman behind them was wearing a soft and pink jacket, her hair draped over her shoulders, and her gaze was sharp.


    The reporters felt that she looked familiar, so they automatically made way for her.


    An Lan calmly walked to Xu Baohans side, her gaze sweeping across the reporters in front of her, as if she had instantly memorized everyones faces.


    I dont care how you guys interviewed him in the past, but I will teach you guys a lesson today. I can call the police right now for all of your actions. An Lan enunciated each word clearly. There is no difference between your actions of disturbing a patient and indirectly murdering someone. Didnt you see that his neck was injured? Since you guys are here to interview him, you should know that he fell from the 12th floor to save someone. Hes just an ordinary person, not a superman. As a reporter, you have to have a basic conscience and morals.


    The reporters faces burned, but one middle-aged man was not convinced. Weve asked around, he said. He just has a concussion. Its not that he cant be interviewed.

 Chapter 1919. The Woman He Had His Eyes on was very Powerful and even Protect Him

    Chapter 1919. The Woman He Had His Eyes on was very Powerful and even Protect Him


    Oh? An Lan smiled. In that case, try jumping down from the twelfth floor. I guarantee that you will have an interview immediately, and it will be an exclusive interview.


    The middle-aged reporters face turned green from her words. Who the hell are you? Whats your rtionship with Judge Xu?


    Im his girlfriend. An Lanughed as she took out her name tag. I think all of you reporters should know that Im an the one who caused a huge ruckus a while back. Thats right, I will peel ayer of skin off anyone who bullies me or caused harm to the people around me. Now that were in a legal society, we talk about thew in everything. As for me, I know best how to use thew to protect myself.


    The middle-aged reporter opened his mouth but didnt say a word.


    As reporters, they were the most well-informed. Who didnt know that some time ago, someone ttened An Lans tires, and then she asked someone to pay tens of thousands of dors aspensation. There were also rumors that this woman even sued her ex-boyfriend for damaging her reputation, the reason why everyone knew about this was that she had specially invited the legendary famouswyer, Song Ruixue, for such a smallwsuit.


    Song Ruixue was a top-notch figure, and everyone was guessing that An Lans ex-boyfriend would have to leave this industry with his entire fortune.


    Now, they didnt expect An Lan to date Xu Baohan. Wouldnt it be a disaster for a judge to date awyer.


    The reporters immediately became obedient, afraid of being targeted by An Lan and get into awsuit.


    Xu Baohan took a deep look at the woman standing in front of him. He knew that the woman he had his eyes on was very powerful and could even protect him.


    Although other men felt that it was shameful to be protected by a woman, and he used to think so too, but now he felt a sense of pride.


    There were some women who were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, but his woman was strong both on the outside and on the inside. She was not fake.


    After more than ten seconds of silence, a female reporter squeezed out a smile and said, Lawyer An, we actually came with no ill intentions. We know of Judge Xus heroic rescue yesterday and that was something we admire from the bottom of our hearts. Thats why we wanted to interview him and at the same time, we also wanted to understand what happened.


    An Lan sighed, you guys dont have to disturb him. His brain is slow and he even has symptoms like retrograde amnesia. How can he ept an interview like this? However, I can answer your questions on his behalf.


    Xu Baohans lips twitched. He remembered that he wasnt that badly injured.


    But the reporters believed him and turned their microphones towards An Lan.


    Lets go outside for the interview. There are other patients inside, Dont disturb them. An Lan led the way.


    The reporters followed.


    The olddy gave Xu Baohan a thumbs up. Your girlfriend is amazing.


    Xu Baohans lips curled into a smile. Thats what I like about her.


    Ten minutester, An Lan entered in a good mood.


    Xu Baohan looked at her. What did you say to the reporters?


    He wasnt worried. After all, An Lan was someone who knew her boundaries.


    I only told them the whole story, adding fuel to the fire.


    An Lan smiled, in the end, I told them not to disturb Zhao Gui and his family in Room 102 on the first floor of the emergency room. They did it all for their son. Its understandable. I hope that after this incident, their family will cherish their lives and stop causing trouble in the court. This will create a bad atmosphere in the industry. Youre a good judge. Every day, you spend your time working overtime and end up bing an old man. Its not easy for you to devote yourself to your career.

 Chapter 1920. As a Man and a Judge, There are Times Where He Was Afraid of Women

    Chapter 1920. As a Man and a Judge, There are Times Where He Was Afraid of Women


    Xu Baohan was quite satisfied with what he heard.


    Although he knew that this woman was evil, he didnt expect her to be so evil.


    However, when he heard thest part, he felt that something wasnt right. He frowned. The back part was a little unnecessary.


    Didnt you waste your time to this day because of your work? An Lan asked with a smile. Could it be that you were hurt by your ex-girlfriend, hurt by love, and didnt have the heart to fall in love, so you wasted your time until now?


    Even though the heater was turned on in the room, Xu Baohan somehow felt a little cold.


    Indeed, Ive been wasting my time for work. He had no choice but to praise her. What you said made sense.


    Right, sit down obediently, Ill go buy you breakfast. An Lan patted his furry head and turned to leave with a smile on her face.


    After she left, Xu Baohans hands touched the spot she had touched earlier.


    He didnt expect for a man like himself to have times where he was afraid of a woman.


    But what was even weirder was that he didnt resist at all. He seemed to be enjoying himself.


    Hmmm, it was good to be controlled like this.


    He didnt realize that there was an invisible leash around his neck.


    On the way to buy breakfast, An Lan called Li Yuchen. I need to rest for a few days. Ill have to trouble you and Lawyer Ma with my work for now.


    Thats not a problem. Since theres no open a court session, you can take care of Chief Judge Xu. Li Yuchen sighed. After reading the news yesterday, I was scared to death. It wasnt easy for you to find a boyfriend, and I thought you had to change one again


    Shut up. An Lan snorted. Can you put it nicely?


    Okay, then say something nice. Li Yuchen grinned and said, Its rare for you to take care of a patient, so you have to make some food for him. Dont order takeout every day. The food outside is not clean. You have to let Chief Judge Xu feel the warmth and kindness of your family.


    An Lan chuckled. Im sorry, my way has never been warm and virtuous.


    This is a special time! Li Yuchen said, a mans heart is at its weakest at this moment. No matter how strong Chief Judge Xu is, hes still a man.


    An Lan frowned as she looked at the noodles handed over by the boss.


    Not long after breakfast, Lu Kang came over with a bunch of gifts. Mr Nian went out of town, and the Madam has been busy with her voice acting. Shes really busy, so she asked me toe over. This is the gift that the boss told me to prepare.


    An Lan nced at them. They were all tonics, but they were from Nian Junting, so they must be very expensive.


    Lu Kang braced himself and introduced them, Lawyer An, these medicines are all rich in herbs. Put a pack in when you boil soup. They are very beneficial for brain, liver, kidney, and blood cirction.


    Xu Baohan said coldly, Thank you, my liver, kidney, and blood cirction are all fine.


    Lu Kang smiled. Our Mr Nian said that you have to work overtime all year round, now that you have a girlfriend, it is especially important for you to replenish your energy.


    Actually, that wasnt what Mr Nian said at all. He said that Xu Baohan had been idling for so long, he must have been rusty.


    Lu Kang was just afraid that he would beat him up so he put the words in a nicer way.


    An Lan rubbed her forehead. Urm Lu Kang, its gettingte. I see that youre usually very busy, go back quickly.


    Okay. Lu Kang was also afraid that Judge Xu would jump out of bed to beat him up despite his injuries, so he quickly ran away.


    There was a strange silence in the air, and Xu Baohan raised his head with a cold expression. I have no issues at all.

 Chapter 1921. Saving Money for Xu Baohan Meant Saving Money for Herself

    Chapter 1921. Saving Money for Xu Baohan Meant Saving Money for Herself


    An Lanughed while pointing at her own head, I dont know about the rest, but Im sure theres something wrong with you here. It had been confirmed by the doctor too.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    Would you like me to prepare some soup for you in the afternoon? As soon as its done, Ill send it over to you. An Lan recalled on Li Yuchens words that she had to be more sympathetic towards the patient.


    Xu Baohan was stupefied, There is a great distance between your house and the hospital. The journey will take approximately an hour. Just get takeout and dont worry about it.


    Its okay to eat takeout for a meal or two; however, its not healthy to eat it every day. Im okay with it, but youre still a patient, An Lan sighed.


    His heart pounded as he looked at her tired face, smiling, I appreciate your kindness, An Lan. Thank you for everything.


    An Lan felt embarrassed by his burning gaze, Well, its the least I could do, and its not a big deal.


    Its not a small matter to me, Xu Baohan lowered his head, feeling a little dejected, it is my duty as a man to perform these tasks. Though weve only been dating for a short time, youre still here to take care of me.


    He seriously doubts that all these would drive An Lan away as he had not well-treated her.


    I appreciate your kind intentions; however, Id rather you would never have the chance to take care of me like this. My only desire is to be healthy and not get sick, hurt, or fall from the building, An Lan raised her hand in protest, in the past, I was not very fond of my clients, but now I have a new perception of them: Theyre all quite beautiful. When I see you like this, I tell myself to cherish my life even more. Id also realized one should not be too thrifty with money. I have to spend what I need to spend, as I might die any day.


    Xu Baohan did not respond.


    He could not tell if it was an illusion, but he could feel the sense of relief from her face that she was not the one who fell from the building.


    I understand if you do not want to order takeout, but your house is too far away. Go to my house instead; its not far from here, Xu Baohan gave her the key to his house.


    Although stunned, An Lan still agreed to it for the sake of convenience.


    She had never been to Xu Baohans house before, and she did not even know which neighbourhood he lived in.


    Xu Baohan gave her the exact address and added, Oh right, there are some electronic stores near this road at my house. Get me a cellphone while youre at it.


    Sure, whats your budget, preferred brand, and model?


    I will do whatever you think is good-looking, regardless of the price or brand, as long as you like it. But my only request is that I want a domestic device.


    After a moment of silence, An Lan smiled, Thats patriotic of you.


    Of course.


    Comparatively, An Lan thought about the foreign gadgets she had at home. She had even purchased imported cultures when making her yogurt, which appeared traitorous in contrast to Xu Baohan.


    On the way back to Xu Baohans house, An Lan stopped at one of the stores to buy the phone. She originally wanted to get the device with a curved screen, but the same model with a t-screen was much cheaper.


    Thinking about it, she decided to buy thetter. After all, saving money for Xu Baohan meant saving money for herself.


    Unlike men, only women needed good phones.


    She then went to the supermarket to buy vegetables before heading to Xu Baohans house.


    It took her some time to find his neighbourhood. The high-rise elevator unit had uneven and dense greenery, which creates a highlyfortable atmosphere for the environment.


    She used the given key to open Xu Baohans main door. Everything in the house was expensive, and the interiors were decorated in a luxurious style.


    Upon entering, An Lan realized there were still many things she needs to learn about the man.

 Chapter 1922. Doesn’t Matter, I Can Entrust My Whole Life to You

    Chapter 1922. Doesn��t Matter, I Can Entrust My Whole Life to You


    She recalled thest time at Song Ruixues house when she listened to their conversation. It seemed like Xu Baohans had a pretty decent family background, and he also had a family fortune to inherit.


    Nevertheless, the wealth mainly belonged to his parents, so it was not necessary for her. She was content as long as she had enough money to live off.


    Xu Baohans house was spotless; even the kitchen was well-organized. Although he rarely cooked, he still had all of the necessary kitchen equipment.


    After preparing a bowl of pigeon soup and stir-fried some cauliflower, An Lan packed some clean clothes for Xu Baohan to change before heading to the hospital.


    When she arrived at the ward, the olddy whose husband had upied the other bed came earlier. The room was filled with the aroma of food, and Xu Baohan was lying alone on the bed, causing An Lan to feel incredibly guilty. The hunger look on the young mans face makes her thought that she should have prepared a quick meal.


    Young man, your girlfriend has brought you food, the olddy reminded him with a smile.


    Xu Baohan immediately opened his eyes and quickly put down the things in his hands. After repositioning his bed to an upright position, he ced a soft pillow behind him.


    Xu Baohan apologized, An Lan, thank you for your hard work. Youll have me as your cook for the rest of your life.


    However, I dont think I have told you I will give you the rest of my life, An Lan smiled slyly.


    Xu Baohans expression froze, and he replied softly, Its alright. I can give you the rest of my life.


    His eloquence was bing increasingly impressive to An Lan. The corners of her lips curled up as she handed him the chopsticks, Ive stewed half a chicken for you.


    Have you eaten?


    Yes.


    When Xu Baohan removed the lid of the thermos, a strong odour of chicken soup wafted over. The chicken soup was also golden in colour. His gaze softened as he finished the chicken soup and vegetables, leaving not a single piece of garlic behind.


    Did I prepared too little? An Lan asked hesitantly, I should have stewed the entire chicken.


    This is enough, Xu Baohan nodded, his cold face showing some warmth, My stomach is already very full. As this is the first time you have cooked for me, I dont want to waste any of it. Furthermore, its been a while since anyone made me soup.


    She was slightly heartbroken when she observed that although his house was so big and spacious, it was cold and quiet inside. Had she not been the same? asionally, she would cook soup for herself in order to supplement her health. Looking at her colleagues at thew firm, their parents were the ones who prepared the soup for them instead.


    What a coincidence. Me neither.


    Ill cook for you when Im cured, Xu Baohan held her hand, by the way, did you get me a phone?


    Yes, I did, An Lan pulled out a phone with a green posterior, this is thetest model. It was just releasedst month and was endorsed by Chi Shengxu. What do you think of it?


    Why is the colour so vivid? Xu Baohan frowned. Never before had he own something with such a bright colour.


    Does it seem bright? I think it looks pretty good and its extremely trendy. Thats what I like about it.


    Xu Baohan did not say anything. The only thing that mattered was that she liked it.


    How about taking a nap? Xu Baohan suddenly changed the topic, you had a restless night.


    Not only did she not sleep well, she only managed to fell asleep at two in the morning. Her morning had been busy since she awoke. While walking to the ward, An Lan almost dozes off.


    Yet, at the sight of this bed, she hesitated once again.


    The lights were offst night, but it was broad daylight now. The young woman would feel humiliated if anyone else saw her squeezing in the patients bed.

 Chapter 1923. Could be Used to Try Other Pillows

    Chapter 1923. Could be Used to Try Other Pillows


    Some colleagues came to visit me when you returned to cook in the morning. I told them to pass the message to let the others not to visit as I needed some peace, Xu Baohan said tiredly, shifting his body to the side while lifting the nket.


    After gazing at him hesitantly for a while, An Lan could not resist the urge to fall asleep. Taking her jacket off, she curled up in the nket after pulling the curtains shut.


    Xu Baohan curled up his lips as he felt the softness of her body. The next time they sleep together, they will share a pillow. The bed was still too small.


    The man did not fall asleep. He had been lying on the bed for the entire morning, but An Lan fell asleep very quickly. She slept pretty well.


    However, Xu Baohan was not well-behaved. He stayed close to her secretly.


    The young woman slept until three in the afternoon when a nurse came over to give Xu Baohan an IV drip. She woke up with a sore neck.


    Xu Baohan saw it. After the nurse left, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her, Lets sleep together tonight. I have a pillow.


    As soon as An Lan heard those words, his heart began to beat like a drum. She pretended to be calm as she brushed her hair behind her ear, Whats so great about having a pillow? The quality of the pillows in the hospital doesnt make a big difference to my sleep.


    Xu Baohan frowned, refusing to give up, I find this pillow to be veryfortable. You can try it tonight.


    An Lan tried her best to hold back herugh as she felt that Xu Baohan should have a better excuse to bewitch her.


    If you are not satisfied with the hospitals pillows, you can try other pillows too.


    An Lan was confused as she wondered if there were other pillows in the hospital.


    Xu Baohan smiled, You can choose from my arms or my chest.


    It doesnt seem like there is anything wrong with your brain. You can leave the hospital now.


    Im serious.


    An Lans face was burning. She lowered her head and took out her phone, mumbling, Then, Ill give it a try tonight.


    The joy in Xu Baohans eyes could not be hidden as his lips curled into a smile.


    Maybe it was not a bad thing to be hospitalized.


    Dinner ended when it was past seven in the evening. An LAN was peeling mangosteen on her chair when Su Run came over.


    Xu Baohan shot him a cold nce, Did I not tell you not toe to visit me? If theres a problem, you can call me.


    It was annoying to have these third wheelers dropping by and disrupt the peace between him and An Lan.


    Su Run felt a little aggrieved as he was being despised even before he could get any closer, Im not here to see you; Im here to see Lawyer An.


    A dangerous smile appeared on his lips as Xu Baohan narrowed his eyes, Be mindful with the words you use.


    Leader, the matter I attend to is crucial. Didnt Lawyer An ask me to go to the court entrance to check the CCTV before I left yesterday? There were some clues.


    In contrast with Xu Baohan, who frowned, An Lans eyes lit up upon hearing Su Runs words, Who did they see at the entrance?


    Su Run handed a photo over to An Lan, Lawyer An, you should know this person. He is He Mingqians assistant.


    An Lan recognized the man in the photo immediately. Her eyes darkened, and her heart began to burn. She concluded after some time that He Mingqian must be the one responsible for what happened throughout these periods.


    Her mind could notprehend how such trash could exist in this world. The man had no bottom line when it came to revenge.


    Su run continued, At first, I didnt know who he was. Then, I reviewed other CCTV footage to see that he exited the court building with He Mingqian. He Mingqian had awsuit in court yesterday afternoon. ording to the CCTV footage, his assistant had a few words with Zhao Gui before Zhao Gui left on his own. About forty minutester, he climbed over the wall of the court building and sneaked up to the top floor. Im certain its He Mingqian behind all this.

 Chapter 1924. I’m a Lawyer. Lawyers are the Best at Skinning

    Chapter 1924. I��m a Lawyer. Lawyers are the Best at Skinning


    It was also shocking for Xu Baohan.


    He expected that Zhao Gui would have someone guiding him, but he never imagined the person turned out to be He Mingqian.


    That was, however, the norm. The fact that He Mingqian could humiliate and hurt his ex-girlfriend in public demonstrates hisck of moral integrity. He was probably pushed too hard by Song Ruixueswyer this time. To teach someone like that to repent was pointless because he would not realize that he was wrong. Instead, he would only want revenge on others more ruthlessly.


    However, from the judges point of view, he was obstructing justice.


    Bohan, Im sorry, An Lan apologized bitterly, I should have settled the issue between us back then. That man is the most despicable person Id evere across. Your position now is quite sensitive to our current rtionship. He can easily take advantage of you. You are lucky this time, but what if


    If there was no cushion below or anything went wrong, Xu Baohans death would be connected to her.


    In that case, she would not forgive herself.


    With one hand pressing his temples and the other waving at her, Xu Baohan reassured, An Lan, dont overthink. Zhao Gui would still cause a ruckus even if He Mingqian didnt initiate it. He even used a stool to scold me in court and make a scene at the entrance. It was only a matter of jumping that would have stopped him. I believe that without He Mingqians participation, he would have put up a banner at the main entrance saying that I was embezzling and shielding criminals. My reputation will be tarnished if that happens.


    Su Run nodded profusely, Lawyer An, you didnt see Zhao Gui grimacing with anger in court. Leader, I believe you should have the police put him behind bars for a few days based on his actions at the time.


    Xu Baohan shook his head, A person like him, no matter what the reason was, his son was indeed killed, and the murderer escaped prosecution. He must be holding back a great deal of anger. If they were to lock him up now, Im sure Zhao Gui and his family would think that thew was unfair to them. They would assume that I was protecting a criminal and targeting their family. Based on Zhao Guis character, I would be the first person hees after once released from prison under such circumstances. I wonder what weapon he would bring to look for me?


    Su Run thought about it carefully and shuddered.


    An Lans hands trembled as she gripped his shoulders.


    In fact, Zhao Gui was the type of man who would do something like this. It would be not easy to guard against him when the time came.


    Xu Baohan took a deep breath, Do not stab someone who is already in a desperate situation. A rabbit will bite when it is anxious. Leave some leeway for others. There will always be people hating us after every trial, no matter how well we do.


    For Su Run, this was a valuable lesson. He nodded with agreement, In that case, He Mingqian can be considered to be obstructing justice. Someone like this should at least have hiswyers license revoked.


    Xu Baohan disagreed, CCTV footage alone is not sufficient evidence. We hold a grudge against each other. He can say that we are imagining things and intentionally aiming for him. Furthermore, what if Zhao Gui underpins the testimony since he hates us so much?


    The woman who was listening to the two mens conversation began to frown. Her hand gently rubbed his shoulder, Dont worry, mywsuit against He Mingqian will start next month anyway. We will settle another score after he loses this battle. This matter will not be left unattended.


    An Lan inhaled deeply. She promised that if she failed in making He Mingqians losing everything entirely, her surname would no longer be An.


    How about Zhao Gui? As long as we can find some breakthrough from Zhao Gui, everything will be fine.


    A smile spread across her face, Im awyer. Awyers best skill is skinning.

 Chapter 1925. is your mother?

    Chapter 1925. is your mother?


    Su Run knew that thesewyers had their methods of investigating cases.


    But what prompted him to break out into a cold sweat for Zhao Gui when An Lan mentioned her ability to him?


    Um Lawyer An, regardless of whether we are talking about thew or something else, we must still follow any other rules and regtions.


    Xu Baohan looked at his woman with a smile. The voiceing out of his thin lips was exceptionally intimate, I believe that she is a very disciplined andw-abiding person.


    Su Run was speechless. It seemed to him that his leader already trusted Lawyer An blindly.


    A man like you who doesnt have a woman to protect would never understand, Xu Baohan threw another sentence at Su Run.


    Su Run choked to death upon hearing his leaders words.


    Did his leader had no shame? Despite being protected by a woman, a grown man was still cocky.


    Nevertheless, he did seem a little envious. Howe he was not as lucky?


    Xu Baohan stayed in the hospital for three days.


    An Lans cooking took a little longer on the third day. It was twenty minutes to one in the afternoon when she arrived at the hospital. A middle-aged woman dressed in exquisite short hair stomped out of the ward angrily just as she was about to enter.


    She bumped into the shoulder of An Lan. Her gaze lingered on the young womans face for a few seconds beforending on the lunchbox in her hand. The corners of her lips twitched before she left.


    An Lan was baffled. The diamond on the middle-aged womans neck shone so brightly that her eyes were blurred. She didnt pay much attention to how the other party looked, but she seemed pretty attractive.


    She was puzzled as to who this woman was visiting. Could it be Xu Baohan?


    Judging from her age, could she be Xu Baohans mother?


    An Lan shuddered. She became increasingly convinced that it must be his mother as she contemted how the woman looked at her. It would have been better to ask Xu Baohan.


    When she brought the food in, she saw Xu Baohan watching the television on the opposite wall with a gloomy expression. Nobody knew what was on his mind.


    An Lan was about to walk to the bed when he came back to his senses, Youre here.


    Yes, An Lan pointed at the door, earlier, I bumped into a middle-aged woman. Are you the one shes looking for?


    Xu Baohans expression tightened. He pursed his thin lips and did not say a word.


    Is she your mother?


    It had always seemed strange to her. Over the past two days, Xu Baohans fall from the building has been the talk of the town. Xu Baohans parents could not have missed the news. His parents ought to visit for such a life-and-death situation, even if they had severed their rtionship.


    Yes, she is, Xu Baohan admitted while frowning, she didnt say anything to you, right?


    No, she just looked at me strangely.


    An Lan never expected Xu Baohan to have such a mother. Her neck and ears were adorned with arge diamond, with a Rolex on her hand. She looked as if she was worried that others would not be able to tell she was rich.


    An Lan was rich too, but she was not high-profile. Rich people these days must keep a low profile.


    The exception to the rule was President Nian. He had a face that said honourable on one side and rich on the other.


    What did you tell her? She gave me a weird look.


    She probably knew you were the one who brought me the food. I told her I had a girlfriend to look after me.


    An Lan nced at the expensive goat milk and fruits on the bedside table, Your mother bought them?


    Yes, Xu Baohan picked up his chopsticks and started eating.


    An Lan kept quiet until he finished eating. Suddenly, he asked, An Lan, is there anything you want to ask me?

 Chapter 1926. You Have Me

    Chapter 1926. You Have Me


    An Lan hesitated. She actually had a lot of questions, but she didnt know where to start.


    Xu Baohan, on the other hand, put down his chopsticks and said with a frown, My mother runs an import and export tradingpany in Zhejiang.


    An Lan nodded, not surprised. After all, his mothers clothes were so eye-catching.


    Xu Baohan looked at her and smiled. You must have noticed that my mother is dressed like a nouveau riche, right?


    An Lan was silent.


    Was it that obvious on her face?


    No, An Lan cleared her throat and said, In business, you have to dress up in a conspicuous manner in order to attract business partners. There are so many luxury car drivers nowadays, some of them are actually quite poor, but they still have to appear good externally.


    Xu Baohan shrugged and smiled bitterly, Youre thinking too much. My mother is just trying to satisfy her vanity though she cannot really afford to do so. When she was young, her family didnt have any money and she suffered a lot. Her education wasnt high, so when she joined the workforce, she was humiliated and looked down on. After that, she used all her means to marry my father. My fathers family was well-off and with his help, my mother started her own business. But after my rtionship with my father fell apart, the rtionship between my parents could no longer be maintained. Now, without my fathers help, herpanys business is going downhill. Those jewelry were given to her by my father in the past.


    An Lan suddenly understood. She really didnt know how to describe this family, but his mother was quite pitiable. Actually, using jewelry to highlight ones worth is something that many bosses would do, but I think the next time you see your mother, you can persuade her. She can do it during the day, but its not safe to go to ces where there are fewer people. Its better not to be so high-profile.


    Yes, Ive told her before. Xu Baohan shook his head. But when we meet, we always hear herining about my dad. Sheins that its all because of me that she divorced my dad, causing her business to go downhill. After that, we fell out, so she hates me.


    Then What about your dad? An Lan asked doubtfully. Actually, Ive always wanted to ask. Youve been in the hospital for so many days, your dad


    Probably he saw on the news that I didnt die.


    The smile on Xu Baohans face was very sarcastic, I forgot to tell you, my dad opened more than thirty 4S stores all over the country, and basically all the Xu familys members work there, such as my aunt and my cousins. There were two 4S stores that belonged to my uncle previously, but my uncle cheated a few of his customers money for a huge profit, involving a sum of more than a million dors. He was suspected of fraud and was prosecuted


    My father and my grandparents asked me to see if I could pull some strings, so that my uncles matter could be turned into a small matter. I didnt agree, and then my uncle went to jail. The Xu family hates me now. The house youre cooking for me is where the three of us used to live. Later, when my parents divorced, they all moved away, leaving me to live alone.


    An Lans heart ached as she watched him recount his past with a rxed tone.


    She was sometimes angry with her parents, but no matter what, her family still understood her, while Xu Baohan was abandoned by his family for a man who had brought it upon himself.


    It was too much to misunderstand him as a cold-blooded and inhumane person.


    Its okay. In the future you have me. An Lan hugged his head. She decided to treat him better in the future.


    If she could do it all over again, she would buy him a cell phone that was slightly more expensive.

 Chapter 1927. I Think Youll Definitely Not Die

    Chapter 1927. I Think You''ll Definitely Not Die


    Yes, I know. Xu Baohans lips curled into a smile as he leaned into her embrace.


    If he had known that her heart would ache for his embarrassing past, he would have said it long ago.


    In the afternoon, An Lanpleted the discharge procedures and the two of them returned to Xu Baohans house. It was almost five oclock when they reached home. An Lany on the sofa and rested for more than 20 minutes before she heard the sound of watering from the kitchen.


    She quickly walked over and saw Xu Baohan holding the electric rice cooker and cooking.


    Leave it there, Ill do it. Your neck hasnt recovered yet, what if you twist it again? Wont you have a crooked neck? An Lan sighed as she took the electric rice cooker.


    But youll be tired if I let you cook every day. Xu Baohan really didnt want her to work too hard. He hadnt performed well recently and had been ying the sympathy card. It wasnt good to do that.


    Its fine. When youre well, you can cook, An Lan said casually.


    After she said that, she felt a strange silence behind her.


    She had just turned around when Xu Baohans lips kissed hers. He gazed at her gently. Okay, Ill do it. Then can we try living together?


    What?


    How did the topic of living togethere about?


    An Lans eyes widened, her face flushed red as she opened her mouth.


    Xu Baohan interrupted her, What I meant was that we can live together from time to time, and even if I am discharged, An Lan, I still need you to take care of me. Look, actually, when we are in the hospital


    The hospital only has one bed, theres no other choice. An Lan reminded him through gritted teeth. And you are a patient, theres nothing you can do. Once you recover, who knows if you will touch me or not.


    An Lan, youre thinking too far ahead. Ive never thought about it, I just thought that if we stayed together, I could make you more delicious food. Its fine if you dont want to, but in this period of time do you have the heart to leave me alone at home? Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow, What if I get up in the middle of the night and twist my neck and no one calls the ambnce for me? What if I identally break my neck and die in the middle of the night? No one would know


    I think you definitely wont die, An Lan interrupted with a cold smile. How could someone like you die from breaking your neck, when you didnt even die after falling from the twelfth floor?


    Without you, I might have, Xu Baohan said gently as he hugged her waist.


    An Lan forced herself to avert her gaze so that she wouldnt be mesmerized by his deep and pitiful gaze.


    Besides, my brain hasnt fully recovered yet, Xu Baohan reminded her. What if I get dizzy, fall to the ground and be a fool? The worst thing would be for you to be your sisters neighbor.


    Forget it. An Lan really had to hand it to him. Why hadnt she seen such a side of him in court before? Alright, Alright, Ill stay, Ill sleep next door.


    The bed next door is broken, Xu Baohan said.


    An Lan was stunned. Nonsense, it was fine when I saw it before. Besides, theres more than one bed.


    What I mean is Itll breakter. Xu Baohan smiled. Its not a crime to destroy your own property, right, Lawyer An?


    An Lan was dumbfounded.


    She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen such shameless people to this extent.


    Fine, Ill sleep with you. An Lan admitted defeat helplessly. With his neck already in such a state, she didnt believe that he could do anything else.


    As for what to do after he recovered, she had to go to work, so it wouldnt be convenient for her to stay with him.


    After dinner, Xu Baohan dragged An Lan to the nearby supermarket to buy some toiletries.

 Chapter 1928. Yes, Bring Me Along As Well

    Chapter 1928. Yes, Bring Me Along As Well


    An Lan felt that Xu Baohan would be able to remove his neck brace in a week at most, she probably wouldnt need to stay for long, so she randomly just bought some.


    However, Xu Baohan didnt think so.


    When An Lan was choosing a toothbrush, he chose the best one. The price made An Lans heart ache. Judge Xu, we dont need to buy such a good toothbrush.


    Xu Baohan lowered his eyes and thought for a while. Indeed, I think we can buy an electric toothbrush. The one the salesman rmended seemed pretty good.


    An electric toothbrush seemed to be more expensive.


    Judge Xu, dont you understand what Im saying? An Lan kindly reminded him.


    Lawyer An, I cant let someone like you who frequently uses imported goods suffer, Xu Baohan replied seriously.


    An Lan and he stared at each other for a while, before finally saying in defeat, Thank you, I like to work on my own, lets use manual.


    Lawyer An is really diligent, Xu Baohan praised with a smile.


    After choosing a towel, Xu Baohan took the liberty of choosing arge soft bath towel and arge soft towel for her. The simrity between them was that they were both expensive.


    An Lan couldnt stop him. You really dont have to buy such an expensive one. I dont even use such expensive stuff at home.


    Mmm, then you can stay at my ce. Xu Baohan looked at her meaningfully. If you dont use such expensive daily necessities, they will be moldy.


    An Lan finally understood. No wonder he was choosing expensive ones for her. So that was the n.


    This cold and aloof man was really sly and cunning.


    That makes sense. Then Ill take them away after I take care of you, An Lan said as she patted his waist. It would be a pity not to use such an expensive item after a few times.


    Yes, thats right. Take me along too, Xu Baohan replied readily. Youve used me too. It would be a pity not to take me with you.


    An Lan was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. When have I ever used you?


    Indeed, one shouldnt be so ndering.


    Ive warmed your bed. Xu Baohan stopped and stared at her. Ive been warming your bed at the hospital these past few days.


    I was taking care of you, alright? An Lan was shocked by his shamelessness. If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt have stayed overnight with you at the hospital. Besides, who would need you to warm bed in this weather?


    The air-conditioning is on in the hospital and its cold, Xu Baohan continued, And youre right, youve been taking care of me, cooking for me, peeling fruits for me and delivering meals every day. If it wasnt for you, I might have starved to death in the hospital, so when Im fully recovered, I have to give myself to you.


    An Lan raised her hand. Its not so exaggerated, its impossible to starve to death. There are people from the dining hall pushing food carts to deliver bento box meals at the entrance of the ward everyday, you definitely wont starve to death.


    No, Ill starve to death. Xu Baohan lowered his head and gazed deeply at her, his lips curling into a faint smile. These few days, I dont want to eat anyone elses food besides yours, and I dont want to make do with it.


    An Lans heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and patted his chest impolitely. Judge Xu, wheres your face?


    Here. Xu Baohan grabbed her hand and ced it on his face.


    An Lan was speechless.


    As awyer, one would only be at a loss for words in front of a judge.


    Xu Baohan looked at her defeated expression and smiled. Lawyer An, dont forget, yourw firm has always lost when its in my court. If you want to win, there is only one ce that has a chance.


    Which ce? An Lan was puzzled.


    Xu Baohan moved closer to her and whispered two words into her ear.

 Chapter 1929. An Lan, The Doctor Said I Can’t Drink Red Wine In This State

    Chapter 1929. An Lan, The Doctor Said I Can��t Drink Red Wine In This State


    An Lan was in disbelief and flushed. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and cursed, Hooligan.


    Xu Baohan smiled and held her hand.


    An Lan shook him off and walked forward.


    Xu Baohan followed after her unhurriedly.


    This was the first time he realized that shopping in the supermarket was such an interesting thing.


    An Lan guessed what he was thinking. Following that, she recklessly picked out a huge pile of food and fresh fruits. Xu Baohan looked at them with relish, sometimes asking, What is this?


    Flounder.


    What about this?


    Red Prawns.


    When she left, An Lan even took a bottle of imported French red wine.


    Xu Baohan thought about it, his woman was really flirtatious. An Lan, the doctor said that I cant drink red wine in this state.


    I know, Ill drink a little before I go to bed, An Lan said calmly. Its good for preventing cardiovascr disease and also for beautifying my appearance. Dont worry, I can hold my liquor very well. I wont get drunk even if I drink two bottles of this. I definitely wont prey on you.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    He had seen her alcohol tolerance before. She was not drunk even after drinking so much at thest gathering, how could he expect a bottle of red wine to get her drunk.


    When they got home, it was almost 8:30 pm.


    An Lans legs were so sore that sheid on the sofa to watch TV. Recently, there wasnt any interesting show in TV. She watched it for a while before throwing the remote control aside. Out of boredom, she yed with her phone.


    Why arent you watching TV programme? Xu Baohan came out of his room after taking a shower.


    May I ask how long have you had this TV for? An Lan raised her head and asked.


    Xu Baohan thought for a moment. I dont really remember. When I first moved in, was it seven or eight years ago?


    No wonder, An Lanined. Your TV is too old. What era is it? You dont even have a video yback app. My TV is connected to the inte, so I can watch thetest dramas and variety shows.


    Xu Baohan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before taking out his phone. Then Ill buy a new TV.


    An Lan quickly stopped him. Theres no need to spend this money. We already have a phone, we can just watch anything on the phone.


    Watching on a phone hurts my eyesight. Xu Baohan shook his head. If theres anything that you think is not good in my home, then weve to change it. If you think theres any other electrical appliances that need to be changed, tell me all at once.


    No No more. An Lan shook her head hurriedly. If this continued, she was afraid that he would change all the electrical appliances in the house. Dont be in a hurry to buy a television online. Things like household appliances need to be seen on the spot before you know anything.


    Then lets look for television together tomorrow. Im on vacation anyway, Xu Baohan suggested immediately.


    An Lan hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.


    At 11 pm, An Lan dawdled in the living room after showering, unwilling to enter the room. She was very nervous. This was different from being in the hospital, there were definitely only two of them, which made her very nervous.


    An Lan, go to sleep, dont y with your phone. Didnt you say that you havent slept well for the past few days and wanted to go to bed early? Xu Baohan was wearing a set of grey pajamas, which outlined his tall and straight figure. However, the neck brace on his neck somewhat spoilt his image.


    An Lan regretted it. She shouldnt have said that when she was struggling to get up today.


    Youre not embarrassed, are you? Xu Baohan saw her dilly-dallying and suddenly joked.


    Isnt it normal to be embarrassed? Of course, Im not like Judge Xu, who has been through countless battles and even has a fiance, An Lan chuckled. By the way, have you slept with any other women on that bed of yours?

 Chapter 1930. Don’t Break Your Neck

    Chapter 1930. Don��t Break Your Neck


    Xu Baohan opened his mouth, his brows furrowed as he hesitated for a few seconds before speaking the truth. She used toe to my house and take an afternoon nap.


    Its just an afternoon nap? I dont believe it, An Lan snorted. Should be sleeping together.


    Xu Baohan looked at her for a while before smiling. Such jealousy! An Lan, its useless for me to exin now, you will know how innocent I am in the future.


    An Lan felt a chill run down her spine. An old man in his thirties still described himself as innocent.


    F*ck, he disgusted her.


    Cut the crap. Ive decided that youll have to change the bed tomorrow as well, An Lan said through gritted teeth.


    Change it then. Xu Baohan pondered for two seconds and expressed his support. Change it to something you like.


    An Lan was silent.


    Can we go to sleep now?


    Has she slept on the pillow? Has she used the nket?


    Its all new. Xu Baohan sighed. Why dont the two of us sleep in the guest room?


    He was going to follow her tonight anyway.


    An Lan said irritably in the end, Forget it, forget it, dont make a fuss, we still have to make the bed.


    In the end, the two of them fell asleep side by side, each sleeping on their own pillows.


    Every time Xu Baohan moved his head closer, she would remind him, Dont break your neck.


    Xu Baohan opened his mouth while An Lan continued, If you really die, people will say that Im a jinx


    Xu Baohan sat up straight and leaned over to kiss her little mouth.


    The next morning, when they went to the hospital, the doctor was angry as he changed Xu Baohans neck brace. Whats wrong with you? Didnt I tell you to be careful when you go back? I agree to let you leave the hospital after you promised me.


    Im sorry. Xu Baohans face was slightly pale, and he didnt dare to move his neck.


    An Lan almost wanted tough.


    He deserved it. She had already warned him, but he still refused to listen.


    If you continue to be so careless, be careful of the aftereffects in the future, The doctor warned.


    After he left the hospital, An Lan saw the way the doctor had padded his chin high. She angered him by holding her stomach andughed. You deserved it, look at how funny you look now.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows and said, Lets go and buy a TV set and a bed.


    An Lan was speechless. He still wanted to run around in his current state. He was practically a cripple.


    An Lan drove to the furniture za, where they sold household appliances and furniture supplies.


    The two of them went to look for TV first. There were a lot of different brands of TV sets.


    After a long time and going through various introductions from the salesperson, the two of them finally decided on a 65-inch TV set.


    After that, they went to the second floor where they sold furniture. As soon as they entered, Xu Baohan was attracted by the american-style sofa at the entrance. An Lan apanied him and as she watched, she felt that something was not right. Werent we buying a bed? Why was he looking at the dining table, the TV cab and the desk at the same time


    Wait, arent we here to look at the bed? An Lan grabbed his hand.


    Xu Baohan smiled faintly as he held her small hand. We will get married sooner orter. We need to understand the current price of the furniture first so that I can renovate the house. I think we should renovate the house at the beginning of the year. After all, we cant move in immediately after the renovation.


    An Lan was dumbfounded.


    The salesperson at the side gave him a thumbs up. This gentleman is really prescient.


    An Lan whispered to Xu Baohan, Are you so sure that nothing will happen to us? We will definitely be able to get married smoothly. Dont forget that you and your ex-girlfriend


    Xu Baohans expression froze. He looked at her with a heavy gaze. An Lan, you are not her.

 Chapter 1931. Too Aggressive

    Chapter 1931. Too Aggressive


    An Lan opened her mouth. She was indeed not his ex-girlfriend.


    In other words, she understood Xu Baohan a little better.


    An Lan, I never thought of breaking up with you. Xu Baohan held her hand a little harder.


    An Lan stared at his deep gaze, ayer of ripples surprisingly swirled in her heart.


    Actually, looking at the furniture was not bad. At least in the future, if there were any differences in style, she would definitely not tolerate it.


    The two of them wandered around. An Lan took the tea from the salesperson and drank two sips. When she looked up, a couple walked in from the door. The man was good looking, he was wearing a blue jacket and was about 1.78 meters tall. Beside him, a delicate and cute woman was holding his arm, they looked intimate.


    When the man saw An Lan, his initially unnatural expression suddenly turned stiff as if he had been hit with hyaluronic acid.


    However, in less than a second, he regained hisposure and turned around to leave.


    Hey, Zhicheng, where are you going? Didnt you say you were going to take a look at this shop? The woman held onto him coquettishly.


    Xu Baohan was conversing with the salesperson in a low voice. At first, he didnt pay much attention to the two of them, but when he saw An Lan walking towards the door with tea in her hands, he turned around.


    An Lan walked straight towards the door, her voice cold and hard. Deng Zhicheng, who is this woman?


    Only she knew how tense the atmosphere was. She really did not expect to see Li Shuangs hubby holding hands with another woman when she was shopping at the furniture shop.


    Deng Zhicheng did not turn around. He pulled the woman and left. The woman seemed to have realized something and left with him in a hurry without saying anything.


    If you dare to take another step, try it. Ill take a picture with my phone, An Lan said coldly. The pixel of my phone is really good now. Its even better than the DSLR. I heard that it can even take a photo of the moon. Do you know that? Ill send it to Li Shuang, I dont believe that she cant see clearly.


    Deng Zhicheng finally stopped moving. He quickly turned around and smiled at An Lan in surprise, An Lan, why is it you? I thought it was strange just now as I heard someone calling me from behind. Why are you here at the furniture shop? This is I didnt hear Li Shuang say that youve found a boyfriend.


    Why did you turn around at the door just now? An Lan asked with a fake smile. Whos that woman? Is she a colleague of yours?


    Youre right, my assistant. Deng Zhicheng quickly pulled the woman beside him over. Dont misunderstand. This furniture shop is too stuffy. Its filled with the smell of furniture. She doesnt feelfortable smelling it, so I helped her up. Its not what you think.


    Yes, I I dont feelfortable, The woman exined with a pale face.


    An Lan nced at her. It was indescribably ring, Since its only your assistant, why did I hear her calling you Zhicheng just now? Oh right, you guys are also here to look at the furniture. My boyfriend and I are here to look for furniture, while you and your assistant are also here to look for furniture. Interesting! This doesnt seem to be a ce for desks and chairs, right?


    Im here to look at the furniture for my family. Isnt my son going to primary school? I want to buy him a desk, and I happened to pass by here today to take a look. Deng Zhicheng stopped smiling. An Lan, dont think too much, okay? I dont want Li Shuang to misunderstand.


    An Lan smiled as she looked at him for a while. Suddenly, she raised her hand and pped the womans face.


    Deng Zhicheng and the woman did not expect this p. Neither did Xu Baohan expect it. Even though he could tell that there was something wrong with the couple, it was too aggressive to p them with a smile.


    Dont treat me as a fool. An Lans smile tightened, Ive seen all kinds of people, so cant I tell the rtionship between you two? When you guys just entered the room, you two acted so obviously. Even if you really havent crossed that boundary, its still ambiguous.

 Chapter 1932. I Dont Usually Hit People. We Are Both Civilized People.

    Chapter 1932. I Don''t Usually Hit People. We Are Both Civilized People.


    The woman was stunned for a while, then she covered her face and lowered her head. Her tears fell onto the ground, as if she had suffered a great grievance.


    Deng Zhichengs handsome face twitched for a while. He felt that An Lans p was not only on Tang Shans face, but also on his own face.


    An Lan, what right do you have to hit her? He raised his fist angrily and slowly extended it in front of An Lan, pointing at her. Youre not my wife, youre just a friend of my wife, who do you think you are?


    Xu Baohan stepped forward to protect An Lan, who was behind him. His gaze narrowed slightly as coldness shone in his eyes.


    The person in front of him was taller than him, and the overpowering aura emanating from him made Deng Zhicheng subconsciously flinch. However, he quickly remembered that this person was only a person with a neck injury, and a slight movement would be enough to flip him over.


    However, An Lan quickly pulled Xu Baohan away, her gaze cold and disdainful, Youre right, I shouldnt have hit her, I should have hit you. As the saying goes, it takes more than one p to make a difference. But youre so thick-skinned, so if I hit you, it would definitely be like hitting a pigs skin. You probably dont know pain, so I could only hit her. Look at how nervous you are. Deng Zhicheng, are you worthy of Li Shuang?


    I said shes just my assistant, Deng Zhicheng said with an ugly expression.


    Is that so? Then Ill go to the furniture stores in front and ask. What did you want to buy just now? is your rtionship clear at a nce? An Lans face was full of sarcasm.


    Deng Zhicheng unnaturally gritted his teeth.


    An Lans eyes spewed out anger, Look at how Li Shuang has changed for you. She used to be such a cool person. After marrying you, she wholeheartedly stayed at home to take care of the children. Every day, she revolved around the familys daily meals and hygiene. She didnt even have time to go out. And you, youre buying furniture with other women. How ridiculous! Let me tell you, dont think that Li Shuang is easy to bully.


    She took a deep breath and continued, She still has me as a friend. If it reallyes to that, Deng Zhicheng, Ill make you leave your house with nothing. You wont even get a child. Oh, right, you dont have a single cent. Lets see if there are any other women chasing after you.


    Is there something wrong with you? Deng Zhicheng was slightly flustered, An Lan, dont think too highly of yourself. Last time, you even lost thewsuit and caused your reputation to be tarnished. Moreover, who would encourage their friends to get a divorce? Even if a man with a sessful career wants to keep himself clean and pure, there are too many temptations in the real world. Moreover, what benefits does Li Shuang have after divorcing me? Its not easy for women to remarry now. Shes not as rich and capable as you. She even has a child with her. Is that good for the child to acknowledge someone else as his father? Youre not married yet, so you might not know Li Shuang.


    An Lan nodded. I respect Li Shuangs choice, but no one can bully her. If you think I dont have the ability, then you can give it a try, but if you divorce Li Shuang, I will make sure you lose everything.


    After that, she dragged Xu Baohan away angrily.


    Deng Zhicheng said angrily to Xu Baohan, Bro, did you hear that? If you marry a woman like her, be careful not to be bitten by her until you have no bone left. Stay away from her as soon as possible.


    Xu Baohans long legs stopped. He shook off An Lans hand and turned to look at Deng Zhicheng.


    An Lan frowned and said softly, Can you not hit someone in your current state?


    Dont worry, I dont usually hit people. We are both civilized people. If I really hit someone, then the person I hit wouldnt be a person, but a scum.

 Chapter 1933. Your Beauty Covers My Eyes

    Chapter 1933. Your Beauty Covers My Eyes


    Xu Baohan gave her a gentle smile before turning to Deng Zhicheng, Dont call me bro. Firstly, Im not familiar with you. Secondly, you look more anxious than me. Thirdly, let me teach you a lesson. Dont you know that between men and women, they canbine together to form a stronger alliance? We are that type. Furthermore, I like to be gnawed by her until I dont even have a bone. Unlike you, you like to gnaw your own wife until she doesnt even have a bone before you go out to cheat on her. This is the difference between you and me. Im a human, youre a beast.


    After that, he ignored Deng Zhichengs angry expression and dragged An Lan away.


    An Lan looked at him with satisfaction as they walked. Today, the doctor had raised his chin, making him look veryical. At that moment, she suddenly felt that he was very handsome.


    Why are you looking at me? Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and caught her gaze.


    An Lan reached out and touched his head. Cute.


    Xu Baohans handsome face stiffened. No one would be happy if a mature man wasplimented as cute.


    An Lan chuckled. Youre already in this state, I cantpliment you as handsome, right? That would be going against my conscience.


    Xu Baohan was silent.


    An Lan teased him for a while before sighing and frowning.


    Youre thinking about your friend, Xu Baohan asked.


    An Lan nodded, Shes a very good friend when we were studying in Xia City University, we had a very good rtionship. We were poor together and enjoyed ourselves together. Deng Zhicheng was the boyfriend she found after I went to study abroad at United States. After that, they got married sessfully, but I didnt expect it to end like this. Theyve only been married for three years. Oh right, youve met my friend before. She was with me on the 70th anniversary of Xia City University, and shes quite pretty.


    Oh, Xu Baohan said inly, I remember there was a woman beside you, I didnt pay attention to her beauty.


    An Lan nced at him unhappily, he added, Your beauty covered my eyes.


    An Lans angry mood was cleared away by him. When you guys like someone, youre so glib-tongued and say all sorts of sweet words, but in this world, there are so few good men, and some even turn bad after marriage, you


    Dont drag me into this, Xu Baohan interrupted her, An Lan, Article 29 of the


    Disciplinary Regtions for Civil Servants in the Administrative Organisation states that civil servants who keep a mistress or abandon a family member will be given a warning, demerit or major demerit; if the circumstances are serious, they will be demoted or dismissed; if the circumstances are extremely serious, they will be expelled, as well as punishment of expulsion from the party.


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him helplessly.


    Xu Baohan continued, My sry isnt high, and I cant afford a mistress. Furthermore, my woman is very powerful, shes awyer that can make people leave their homes with nothing, I dont dare to offend her.


    An Lan was choked by his words for a long time and could only give him a thumbs up. Im convinced by your reason.


    Thank you. Xu Baohan smiled, An Lan, I think its better if you dont tell your friend about what happened. After all, this is her familys business and she has a child. However, you can remind her that no matter what, she has to secure the assets and the man must not have the opportunity to transfer them. You said that the man left the house with nothing, but we all know it is difficult to do so under thew, unless the man hasmitted a serious crime. Thew does not stipte that a man who cheats must leave the house with nothing.

 Chapter 1934. No Matter What Happens, I Will Always Be By Your Side

    Chapter 1934. No Matter What Happens, I Will Always Be By Your Side


    I know, I was just trying to scare him. He doesnt know thew anyway, An Lan sneered, But Im not joking. If he really divorces Li Shuang, I will definitely make him lose ayer of skin. Sigh, I really want to tell Li Shuang but this isnt my marriage. If it were me, I would immediately divorce without a second thought.


    Xu Baohan gently held her shoulders. An Lan, we havent bought a bed yet.


    Why should I buy a bed? Im not in the mood to buy a bed, An Lan said irritably. If I go back now, Im afraid I wont be able to resist chopping him up with an axe if I see that scumbag.


    But


    Lets use that bed for the time being.


    Xu Baohan frowned, slightly disappointed. He had his eyes on a very good quality bed just now.


    After returning home in the afternoon, An Lan immediately called Li Shuang. What are you doing?


    ying with my child at the amusement park, Li Shuang said gloomily. This little guy ws knocking me out every day.


    Wheres Deng Zhicheng?


    Hes at work. Hes quite busy at work now, after all, hes been promoted to General Manager, Li Shuang said irritably, But he takes a bath and sleeps every day when hees back. He doesnt really take care of the children. If it wasnt for the fact that he has some ability to earn money, I would have told him to get lost a long time ago.


    An Lan coughed lightly. Youre joking, right? After all, the two of you have been in a rtionship for so long, somehow you should have feelings for each other.


    Hehe, feelings have long been tormented by marriage, Li Shuang sighed, Lan, I dont know why, but sometimes I just feel tired. I miss the days when we werent married. I can y wherever I want. Although I dont have that much money, I have freedom and good looks. Marriage is a tomb. You have to be aware of it.


    An Lan frowned. No matter what, you still have to control your hubby to prevent him from cheating.


    So be it, Li Shuang sighed. Its fine if theres a woman who can cheat him away. He can leave, but the family assets and my children have to stay.


    An Lan didnt know how to continue the conversation. Li Shuang, Im serious.


    An Lan, Im serious too, Li Shuang said, Im happy with everything now. If his heart isnt with me, I wont force it. Its meaningless, but you have to help me get most of the assets. Youre the bestwyer I know, so I can only look for you, but you cant charge me for mywyer fees.


    Okay, if you really think so, you have to pay more attention to him. With your reckless personality, you might not even be able to catch him cheating. Maybe when you find out, he has no money left in his card, An Lan reminded, Its useless to rely on me. You have to rely on yourself. Youre also aw student.


    That makes sense, Li Shuang said. Hey, why did you suddenly call me to tell me all this? Could it be


    Li Shuang, keep an eye on your hubby, An Lan hesitated and said earnestly, Dont tell your hubby that I made this call. Dont expose yourself.


    Li Shuang was shocked. D*mn, An Lan, what do you mean by that No, my brain is a little messy.


    It doesnt matter if its messy. The important thing is to know that the victory is not in your hands at this moment in thewsuit.


    That that makes sense. Then let me figure it out myself?


    Yes, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side.


    An Lan said onest sentence before hanging up. She turned around and realized that Xu Baohan was looking at her strangely.

 Chapter 1935

    Chapter 1935


    An Lan, its not appropriate to say such things to a woman. Xu Baohans eyes darkened, Youre by your friends side, what about me?


    Youre not going to be jealous of my friend, are you? An Lan turned to lie on hisp, Right now is the time she is most helpless.


    I need you too, didnt you see my neck? Xu Baohan held her hand. Also, wasnt your tone just now indirectly telling your friend that her hubby was having an affair?


    An Lan felt guilty, in the end, she raised her head and said, Her hubby already knows that Ive discovered it. If I dont say anything, could I just sit back and watch my friend get caught off guard and let that scumbag take all her assets away? Baohan, Im awyer, Ive been through divorce cases before, Ive seen all kinds of heartless men, not to mention that my friend would understand that now is not the time to be sad, its the time to wipe away her tears and fight for the best interests of her son.


    You have a point.


    Xu Baohan was secretly amazed. Women could be soft and firm at any time.


    The next morning, as Xu Baohan hugged An Lan andy on the bed,menting that this was the most wonderful part of life, An Lan received a call and pushed him away mercilessly. Ill make you breakfast. I have to go to thew firm today.


    Xu Baohan blinked. Didnt you say that you would be resting for the next few days?


    Something urgent came up, An Lan hurriedly put on her clothes and said, Dont worry, Ill be back in the afternoon.


    How about Ill go with you, Xu Baohan suggested, I wont disturb your work.


    An Lan was stunned. Why did she feel that Chief Judge Xu was following her? I cant today, I really cant.


    Xu Baohan frowned and said, Youre not actually going to see Nian Junting without telling me, are you?


    An Lan was speechless and said, No, let me remind you. Chief Judge Xu, Im awyer, and youre from the court. Due to our job nature, we need to somehow avoid each other, okay?


    Xu Baohan was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. Recently, the two of them had been so close that he had forgotten about them. He said, Im sorry.


    Its okay. I know that youve had a concussion recently, so I understand, An Lan gently stroked his short ck hair.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    It felt like she was caressing someone with a mental illness.


    At nine oclock, An Lan stepped into thew firm.


    Yan Wen immediately brought a middle-aged man into the room. The man was dressed in an old workers uniform, his skin was dark and rough. With a look, one could tell that he was someone who worked hard under the sun all year round.


    Lawyer An, this is Wei Cheng who was on the same construction site as Zhao Ping, Yan Wen said as she poured tea for the two of them. Before Zhao Ping died, he borrowed 50,000 dors from him. Its been more than a year and he hasnt returned it.


    After sitting down, Wei Cheng said bitterly, Instead of saying its lending, its more like Im afraid of him and had no choice but to lend the money to him. Im not the only one who has to borrow money. He borrowed from quite a few people on the construction site, adding to more than 100,000 dors. He borrowed the most from me, so everyone asked me to represent them. After Zhao Ping died, we went to the Zhao family to ask for it. His father, Zhao Gui, refused to admit his debt. Look, this is the IOU.


    An Lan took the IOU and looked at it. Your case is actually just a small case.


    Wei Cheng nodded. Were all working hard to earn some money. You said you wanted us to take the case to court but we havent done it. We dont know how much it will cost. I heard that its a bottomless pit but I heard that youre willing to ept this case for free


    Its very difficult for the people at the bottom to defend their rights now, and they dont know how to use thew to protect themselves. But now theres a legal public welfare assistance program. I can take your case for free. An Lans gaze was stern, Dont worry, Ill get your money back for you.

 Chapter 1936. Full Of Feminine Charms

    Chapter 1936. Full Of Feminine Charms


    After Wei Cheng left, Yan Wen closed the door and gave her a thumbs up. Lawyer An, youre really smart. This is a lesson for those who bullied Chief Judge Xu. Let them know who Chief Judge Xu is, its your man who they cannot afford to bully him.


    An Lan, who rarely had the leisure to take a sip of coffee, choked on her coffee. After a long time, she recovered and was a little speechless.


    Isnt that so? Yan Wen was really impressed with her now. As a woman, she was simply full of feminine charms.


    She decided to learn from Lawyer An and follow her example.


    Assistant Yan, be careful with your words, An Lan said in a low voice, Im awyer and I abide by thew. I will never seek revenge for personal grievances. Wewyers cant only look at the money just because our status is high and we have money. asionally, we have to do legal aid cases to raise our good name.


    Yan Wen was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly. That makes sense. I understand.


    Ill hand over all the information on this case to you. I believe there wont be any problems. An Lan smiled, Youve been with me for so long, you should have no problem in settling such a small case. Oh right, if Zhao Gui gets awyer to look for you, just say that your client is very busy and well talk next month. Also, find out who else has been offended by the Zhao family. Even if the Zhao family stole a chicken next door, I can fight for them for free. I forgot to tell you that my legal aid is only targeted at the Zhao family.


    Yan Wen was bbergasted. Someone as arrogant and domineering as the Zhao family must have offended a lot of people.


    Thats right, thats why we must be magnanimous and live up to our conscience. An Lan stood up. If theye to thew firm to cause trouble, ask the security guards at the entrance not to be polite to them.


    After giving her instructions, An Lan left.


    Yan Wen looked at her back and suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards the Zhao family.


    After returning to Xu Baohans neighbourhood, she knocked on the door and saw Xu Baohan standing at the door with a sullen face. Its already 12 pm, youre back veryte.


    An Lan lifted the clothes in her hands. I drove back to my own ce to get some clothes and skincare products, so I was a littlete.


    You dont need to take them, you can just go and buy them. Youll definitely need to prepare two sets anyway, Xu Baohan said with a relieved expression.


    I have a lot of skincare products at home, theres no need to waste this money, An Lan said as she changed into her shoes.


    A new set of keys was suddenly ced in front of her. I made a set for you this morning, this is yours from now on. You dont need me to open the door for you to enter and exit, the ess card has also beenpleted. Oh right, I also rented a parking space for your car, its not good to expose it under the weather.


    An Lans lips twitched as she looked up at Xu Baohans calm and profound gaze. Chief Judge Xu, are you trying to make me angry?


    Xu Baohan was stunned, feeling a little guilty from her gaze. Im doing this because I want to spend more time with you.


    Im very angry, An Lan said angrily. Do you know how far you are from mypany? Why do you always make mee to you? Youre doing great, you can drive ten minutes to get to work.


    Xu Baohan was stunned for a moment before he understood. He quickly said, What you said makes sense. When Im done, Ill move in with you. I dont mind it being very far. Of course, if Im really busy, I wont go over.


    An Lan nodded. That was more like it.


    She would neverpromise on a chance to sleep in.


    An Lan crossed her arms andughed. Since when did I agree to you moving in with me?

 Chapter 1937. Ancient Town

    Chapter 1937. Ancient Town


    Xu Baohan lowered his gaze slightly. Lawyer An, its not good to abandon someone in the end. Do you want me to go to yourw firm and cause a ruckus?


    An Lan pursed her lips into a smile. Sure, go ahead and cause a ruckus. Let me see what Chief Judge Xu will look like when he causes a ruckus.


    Ill look like what you want me to look like. Xu Baohan smiled as he moved closer to her. His hands were ced on the shoe cab, surrounding her in the middle. His voice was so deep that it was electrifying. Im hungry


    It was just three simple words. An Lan felt that her thoughts might have been a little off. Where Where are you hungry?


    Of course my stomach is hungry, Xu Baohans voice was soft. Otherwise, where do you want me to be hungry?


    Im going to cook. An Lan braced herself to push him away and slipped into the kitchen.


    Xu Baohan looked at her disheveled figure and a faint smile appeared on his lips.


    Since Xu Baohan had already cut the vegetables and prepared the rice, An Lan fried the vegetables very quickly. A dish of sponge gourd prawn soup, dried pot cauliflower, and sweet and sour fish made Xu Baohan eat two bowls of rice in a row.


    So it turns out that eating at home with someone you like is the real home-cooked food, Xu Baohan sighed from the bottom of his heart.


    Its not bad. The shop at the entrance of your court is also alright. An Lan was not as sentimental as he was. She only felt that two people eating at home was much more interesting than eating alone. In the past, she would not be able to finish the few dishes that she cooked. Sometimes, it was also rather boring to eat alone.


    An Lan, lets go on a trip, Xu Baohan suddenly said. How about going to Yunnan this season?


    An Lan nced at his neck. Youre already in this state, yet you still want to go on a trip to the hignds. The doctor said that you have a concussion, alright? By then, dont tell me you feel nauseous and dizzy again. Also, you forgot you need to go to the hospital for a checkup every three days.


    Xu Baohan was devastated, his handsome face ashen. I was just thinking about how rare it was for me to get some rest. Besides, its quite boring for you to stay at home with me every day. If its really impossible, then lets go take a walk around the neighborhood.


    An Lan rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. Isnt there an ancient town nearby? Its two hours away on the high-speed train. Why dont we go there?


    Xu Baohan agreed readily.


    In the afternoon, they did their homework, booked a hotel and bought tickets for the high-speed train. The next morning, the two of them took the high-speed train to the ancient town.


    The ancient town was surrounded by water. The buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties were built along the river. It was the weekend and the streets were bustling with activity.


    The two of them first checked into a historical courtyard house. The house was next to a small river, and the rooms were simple but clean. The decorations were exquisite, there was an open-air balcony on the second floor where they could bask in the sun and drink tea.


    The room you booked is not bad, its quite unique. An Lan pushed open the window to look at the river outside.


    Xu Baohan hugged her from behind. Of course, if I dont book a good room for our first trip, what if you donte out with me in the future?


    An Lan took a deep breath and leaned against him as she walked out. She felt an indescribable peace in her heart. Although she had just stayed in Europe for a period of time, the feeling of being alone and being with two people was still a little different.


    In the afternoon, the two of them went shopping and ate. One moment, they ate a bowl of tofu pudding together. The next moment, they ate a bowl of stinky tofu.


    An Lan didnt like stinky tofu, so she stuffed it all into Xu Baohans mouth. Xu Baohans mouth was filled with the stench. He hugged her and kissed her under the willow tree by the river until her mouth was filled with the stench before he gave up.


    In the evening, after the two of them finished eating, they rested for a while at the inn. When they left, the boss reminded them, Our old town is quite big. Dont go too far away at night. A few girls have been robbed recently. But dont worry if you are in a crowded ce.

 Chapter 1938. Were You Robbed?

    Chapter 1938. Were You Robbed?


    Thank you. Xu Baohan held An Lans hand tightly.


    At night, the ancient town was especially lively and beautiful. An Lan liked to look at small things. One moment, she chose a hand-made shawl in a shop. The next moment, she took a fancy to a hand-made earring and asked Xu Baohan to help her put it on.


    He wore it clumsily. An Lan was so impatient that she had no choice but to ask the shop assistant to put it on her.


    As a man who was confident in himself, this was the first time Xu Baohan felt defeated. Im sorry, Im new to this. Ive never done this before.


    An Lan held his hand. Its alright, youll get used to it after wearing it a few more times. As for you, the most important thing is to pay the bill.


    Im best at this. Xu Baohan quickly took out his wallet. He felt that after waiting for so many years, his money had finally been put to good use, but he just didnt understand why women liked to buy things and shop so much.


    From 7 oclock to 9 oclock, An Lan didnt show any signs of fatigue. She even chose all kinds of ornaments.


    Xu Baohan took a photo of the night scene of the ancient city and sent it to his wechat moments as a memento: our first trip together


    Five minutester, he went to check his wechat moments. Nian Junting left a message, Oh, Ive been to this ce too many times. My wife and I went to a beautiful beach for our first trip together. We watched the sunset, went diving and swimming together


    Xiao Si replied to Nian junting, Ting, why are you everywhere? Cant you just calm down? Still showing off your love after so many years?


    Nian Junting replied to Xiao Si, When did you add him on wechat?


    Xiao Si replied to Nian Junting, Thest time I got married, I think your wife was added as well.


    Nian Junting was silent.


    In front, An Lan had already chosen her stuff. Xu Baohan put away his phone and went forward to greet her.


    They strolled until around ten oclock. They felt that the ce they were strolling in was a little off the track, and there were fewer and fewer people. The lights had also dimmed, so An Lan gave up on continuing to stroll.


    As they were too far from the inn, on their way back, they walked for more than ten minutes. Many shops on the street were closed, and the number of tourists was gradually decreasing. When they passed by the washroom, Xu Baohan said that he wanted to go in.


    An Lan was waiting outside. When Xu Baohan came out from the washroom, he realized that An Lan was no longer where she was. This previously bustling alley now looked like a monster that was swallowing people.


    He remembered that before they left the inn, the boss had reminded them that some girls had been robbed recently. His heart suddenly felt like it was being squeezed by arge hand, and he was so flustered that he couldnt breathe.


    As a judge, it was important to be calm. However, at this moment, he was really flustered and his fingertips were trembling slightly.


    An Lan, An Lan, He shouted as he ran in the alley. He even ran into a few people whom he asked questions but there was no news at all. He didnt even hear An Lans voice.


    Just as he was flustered and wanted to call the police, his phone suddenly rang.


    He quickly took it out and when he saw that it was An Lan calling, he heaved a sigh of relief. Where did you go? Are you alright? Didnt I tell you to wait at the entrance of the toilet?


    I just went to thedies toilet and when I came out, I saw you running forward like a maniac. I couldnt even stop you when I shouted at you. What happened to you? An Lan was confused. Were you robbed?


    Xu Baohans mind froze for a moment before he suddenly covered his head andughed out loud. He hadughed at his own foolishness.


    An Lan was confused by hisughter. Did you really get robbed? Wait there, dont move, Iming. Dont fight head-on with someone with your neck like this. If you have lost the money, so be it. The important thing is that youre fine.

 Chapter 1939. Xu Baohan Suddenly Pulled Her Into His Arms

    Chapter 1939. Xu Baohan Suddenly Pulled Her Into His Arms


    An Lan ran to the entrance of the alley and saw Xu Baohan dragging his long legs as he walked out from the depths of another dark alley.


    His face was pale under the moonlight, looking pale and weak. An Lan suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that she shouldnt have allowed him to travel.


    See, I told you before, dont put so much money in your wallet. Its all paid by phone now


    Before An Lan could finish, Xu Baohan suddenly pulled her into his embrace.


    An Lan was a little confused, but when she came back to her senses, she thought that he must have been too heartbroken about losing money, so she quickly patted his back. Dont be sad, you


    This time, before she could finish, Xu Baohan kissed her with his thin lips.


    An Lans eyes widened. This guy must have been too agitated. Why would he kiss her after getting robbed?


    Perhaps it was because he had never lost so much money before and he was too agitated.


    An Lan patted his head to calm him down.


    I didnt lose money. Xu Baohan held her shoulders tightly with both hands, his voice hoarse. Ive asked you if you wanted to go to the toilet, didnt you say that you didnt want to go? When I came out, I saw that you werent there and panicked. I thought something had happened to you


    An Lan blinked in shock. You can call me on my phone.


    There was silence in the air for a while. Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips and said dryly, I forgot.


    An Lan was speechless for a while, her heart suddenly throbbing in pain. She hadnt forgotten how flustered he had been when she saw him running.


    She sighed and couldnt help raising her hand to pat his head. Its not your fault, its not your fault. You just havent fully recovered from your concussion.


    Xu Baohan was silent.


    He also felt that his reaction was a little extreme this time. His IQ hadpletely dropped. He was not the man he used to be.


    An Lan, it might not be because of my concussion, Xu Baohan said honestly, his emotionsplicated. Its because I care more about you than I thought. Im afraid that something might happen to you.


    An Lan was stunned. Looking at his chiseled features under the moonlight, her chest was suddenly filled with warmth, Baohan, Im fine now. Lets go back. Its toote. If we dont leave now, we might really get into trouble. After all, you cant beat anyone right now.


    Okay.


    Xu Baohan held her hand tightly.


    On the way back, there were fewer and fewer people. An Lan felt that she was lucky to have him by her side.


    At night, after the shower and lights out, Xu Baohan pulled her directly to his chest.


    Whats wrong? She raised her head, her ck hair drooping and her voice hazy.


    Im still a little scared. Xu Baohan hugged her tightly. Lets not wander around toote next time.


    Okay. An Lan yawned. Can we go to sleep now?


    I dont want to. Xu Baohan sighed. Why is my neck injured? I dont want to lie down and sleep like this.


    An Lan was silent.


    Go to sleep. After a while, An Lan patted his head. Youre not strong enough now.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    The two of them stayed in ancient town for three days.


    On the fourth day, on the way back to the high-speed train, An Lan received a call from Yan Wen. Zhao Guis family came to look for you yesterday. They heard that you werent around, so they made a big fuss at thew firm, but were chased out by the security guards.


    They can still make a big fuss? Looks like their injuries at the courtst time werent very serious, An Lan chuckled. It was hard for Xu Baohan who hadnt recovered by now.


    Theyre just pretending, Yan Wen said angrily.


    Arrange a meeting next Monday. When the timees, theyll know that this is just an appetizer, An Lan smiled faintly.

 Chapter 1940. Are You Becoming Proud And Arrogant Because You Are Favored?

    Chapter 1940. Are You Bing Proud And Arrogant Because You Are Favored?


    On the fourth day, after returning to Xia City, Xu Baohan made another trip to the hospital. Although the doctor had removed his neck brace, he said that his neck had not recovered yet, so he still needed to rest well.


    An Lan felt that he could take care of himself, so she suggested going back to work. After all, she had already rested for a week.


    So from today onwards, I have to fend for myself? Xu Baohan felt like he had been abandoned.


    Yes. An Lan nodded impolitely. I dont have annual leave like you do in yourpany. We work when we have a case, and if we dont have a case, we look for a case. Furthermore, there are only threewyers in thew firm.


    Xu Baohan did not force her. Then its not good for you to travel back and forth to work. Ill move to your ce.


    Do you really have the heart to leave a patient like me behind? Xu Baohan said confidently. Or do you want to wake up an hour earlier every morning to go to work?


    An Lan fell silent. After a moment, she pretended to be serious and said, When I was dating you, I should have thought about geographical issues. Our jobs are too far apart, so its not really suitable.


    Xu Baohan chuckled. Thats true. Your criteria for choosing a boyfriend should be in your area, then you might not be able to get married in your lifetime.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows and red at him.


    Xu Baohan chose afortable spot on the sofa and leaned against it, When you look around the world to find a boyfriend, you stay single until 29. So when you narrow your selection to only your area, then youve to remain single until 99. Of course, the 99 Im talking about is the day you close your eyes.


    It meant that she wouldnt be able to find a boyfriend on the day she closed her eyes.


    An Lan was so angry that sheughed and pounced on him.


    Xu Baohan grabbed her hands and struggled. Im a patient.


    Fine, I wont touch your neck, An Lan sneered and bit his face.


    After biting, she left a few bite marks and smiled proudly. You have to understand whats good aboutwyers. Theyre good at talking and their teeth are good too.


    Xu Baohans eyes shone with affection. You cant treat me like this. I just praised you.


    What did you praise me for? Youre insulting me with every word. An LAN poked him in the chest. Youre bing proud and arrogant just because youre being favored now, arent you?


    I praised you for your longevity. Xu Baohan blinked.


    What longevity? Everyone else boasts of a long life of 100 years old, but you let me die at the 99th. You did this on purpose, right? An Lan impolitely left another symmetrical bite mark on his other cheek.


    The next day, when Su Run and Secretary Wu came to report to Xu Baohan about a rather troublesome case that he had previously handled, they were stunned when they saw the funny bite mark on his face. They tried their best not to burst intoughter. Chief Judge Xu, your face


    My girlfriend bit me. Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and curled his lips. He was not in a bad mood, nor was he embarrassed. If you have something to say, say it. Hurry up, Im moving to An Lans ce in a while.


    Su Run and Secretary Wu felt that there was a sense of pride in his calm voice.


    The two of them wanted to look down on him. Youre already an adult, yet youre only moving in with your girlfriend. Didnt you feel embarrassed? One of them was already married, while the other had moved in with his girlfriend after university.


    An Lan and Zhao Gui arranged to meet in a high-end private chamber in a cafe.


    On Monday, An Lan brought not only Yan Wen, but also a security guard from thew firm. He was a retired soldier, tall and strong.

 Chapter 1941. Turned Out To Be SuChapter A Young And Beautiful Woman

    Chapter 1941. Turned Out To Be SuChapter A Young And Beautiful Woman


    Walking into the private chamber, Zhao Gui and his wife, along with Zhao Guis two older brothers and thewyer that Zhao Gui hired, Zhu Wentao, were there.


    Zhu Wentao was actually a very unknownwyer in the industry. Usually, he would take on minorwsuits and his price was low. After the Zhao family went through their sonswsuit, the losses were too great. Now, they could only afford to hire thiswyer.


    An Lan was not on the same level as him, she was used to handling big cases. Zhu Wentao subconsciously saw that his aura had weakened by half.


    Zhao Guis family was also a little stunned. They did not expect the so-calledwyer to be such a young and beautiful woman. However, when she swept her gaze over, it was as sharp as a knife.


    However, Zhao Gui quickly came back to his senses. After all, he had been a rogue for a long time. Moreover, he had caused trouble in the court and was able to escape unscathed. Why would he be afraid of a mere woman? You must be Lawyer An. I advise you to end the Wei Cheng case here. Otherwise, dont me us for not being polite.


    Zhao Guis wife, Yu Fang, stood out and pointed at An Lans nose as she scolded, Those people from Wei Cheng said that my son owed them money just because of an IOU. Who knows if they are cheating. Anyway, my son is dead and there is no evidence to prove. Whats the difference between this and robbing money? Anyway, we dont have a single cent. If you want us to return the money, take our lives.


    An Lan did not say a word. She just sat on an empty chair with an indifferent face and looked at Zhu Wentao. Lawyer Zhu, are you here to negotiate or to threaten? If its a threat, can I report it to the police?


    Zhao Guis elder brother sneered and said, Go ahead and report it to the police. We didnt touch your hand or even your hair. How can we threaten you? The police cant do anything to me.


    An Lan smiled and didnt say anything.


    Zhu Wentao panicked. The police wouldnt do anything, and the Zhao family wouldnt do anything either. However, as awyer, if it involved threatening the other party, then it would be a serious problem for him. Lawyer An, this is a misunderstanding. They dont understand thew and havent studied much.


    After saying that, he warned the Zhao family, If you guys continue to act like this, then I wont ept your case.


    Theres no need to be so nervous. An LAN raised her hand. Since were going to talk, lets be friendly. I also hope that we wont go to court. After all, this is just a small case.


    Yes, yes. Zhu Wentao nodded repeatedly. Lawyer An, under thew, theres no such thing as a father who pays his childrens debts


    I didnt say that his father would pay. I just wanted them to use his sons inheritance to pay back, An Lan said with a smile, The house you are living in the vige now is under Zhao Pings name, right? After Zhao Ping died, the house hasnt been transferred yet. Besides, even if the house has been transferred, the father has inherited his sons inheritance, so he also has to bear the responsibility of his sons debts. Theres no reason for a dead person to pay off his debts. You can sell the house and return the money.


    Zhao Gui mmed the table angrily and stood up. Although the money for that house is under my sons name, we spent money to build it. If you ask us to sell it, where will we live? Ive never seen such a heartlesswyer like you.


    An Lan smiled, Then lets talk about this house. ording to what I know, after the house was built, you still owe the foreman of the neighboring vige 90,000 dors. Until now, you havent paid back the money because you didnt have the money. There was once when you threatened to die as you didnt have the money to pay back. Now, it has been five years. The other party hase to me to consult about thiswsuit and see if I can represent them for free.

 Chapter 1942. We Only Care About Money And Dont Care About Reputation

    Chapter 1942. We Only Care About Money And Don''t Care About Reputation


    At this point, the Zhao family was not stupid. Zhao Gui clenched his fists and said, An Lan, tell us the truth. Are you deliberately targeting us? I remember that our Zhao family has no grudges with you.


    Zhu Wentao clenched his fists and coughed. He nodded and said, Lawyer An, you know the Zhao family very well. I think we should be more honest.


    An Lan smiled slightly and tapped her fingers on the table, Recently, not only did those who had been owed money look for me, but there are also other reasons that people look for me to sue you. Lets not talk about it. Its probably because your Zhao family has done too many immoral things. Other than your son Zhao Pings old affairs, there are also quite a few things about you, Zhao Gui. How should I put it? Like father, like son. This sentence is really not wrong.


    Zhao Guis expression changed. He mmed the table and the coffee spilled out. Im warning you. Be more polite and if you force me, Ill do anything.


    Dont think that Im scared. An Lan hooked her finger at the security guard beside her. The security guards tall figure took a step forward. Zhao Gui felt a chill in his heart. People like him always bullied the weak and feared the strong.


    Mr. Zhao, this isnt my first day dealing with people like you, and its not myst.


    An Lans expression was calm and indifferent, Im serious about talking to you, but you want to fight with me. It seems like you really dont want to continue talking, so I can only ept all thewsuits. Dont even think about threatening me. Look at the people around me. Can you beat them? But as long as you fight, even a little, Ill make you regret it. Maybe you dont understand thatwyers are much harder to deal than with judges, because we only care about money and dont care about reputation.


    Zhao Guis expression changed.


    An Lan stood up. Your familys incident at the court has caused a stir. Ive heard about it too. You can try and see if you can escape unscathed.


    Zhu Wentao hurriedly stood up. Zhao Gui, if you really make a move, then I really cant help you. When the timees, youll have to pay back the money and the house. Youll also have to go to jail.


    Lawyer Zhu, whose side are you on? Yu Fang was anxious.


    Zhu Wentao said unhappily, Im speaking on behalf of you. Im not asking you to threaten. This isnt your small vige, its a ce where thew is enforced.


    Zhao Guis second brother quickly stood up. Lawyer An, there must be a reason why youre scheming against the Zhao family. Since youre willing to talk, then theres room for negotiation.


    There are still smart people in your family. An Lan smiled. Then Ill be frank. When you were at the court, Zhao Gui, you threatened to jump off a building because you were instigated by awyer named He Mingqian.


    Zhao Gui was stunned, and Yu Fang came to a realization. I get it. Are you rted to that Judge? Are you here to take revenge on us on purpose?


    Shh. An Lans index finger pressed against her lips. Dont think Chief Judge Xu is that bad. Im here because you guys are together with the person I hate the most in my life.


    I dont know what youre talking about, Zhao Gui said angrily. We havent even met He Mingqian.


    The person who called you away at the entrance of the court is He Mingqians assistant. An Lan narrowed her eyes, Zhao Gui, dont y games with me. When I talk to you, Im patient. When I dont want to talk to you, theres no turning back. Dont be burdened with debts for the rest of your life because of an irrelevant person, even to the extent of not having a ce to stay. You dont have a son. No one will care about you when youre old.

 Chapter 1943. Do You Think Xu Baohan Is Easy To Bully

    Chapter 1943. Do You Think Xu Baohan Is Easy To Bully


    Zhao Guis heart skipped a beat.


    Yu Fang panicked as well, she quickly said, Thats right, it was Lawyer He who invited my husband to the car and told him tomit suicide. Only when the matter blows up, my sons case will have a chance. Besides,mitting suicide is not as serious as standing at the door and insulting the judge. He even said that the Judge Xu must have taken a bribe or else he wouldnt have sentenced my son in this way. He said that the Judge wasnt a good person and not only did he steal his girlfriend, he even wanted to ruin his reputation.


    An Lan was disgusted. Yan Wen snickered, Are you two stupid? The He guy is using you.


    Zhao Gui didnt agree. In his opinion, He Mingqians method was to make them retreat unscathed.


    An Lan crossed her hands, To tell you the truth, I am He Mingqians ex-girlfriend. After we broke up, he went around ndering me. Ourwsuit is opening a court session at the end of the month, and he will definitely lose thiswsuit. Thats why he used such a despicable method to lure you.


    Oh, so youre that Judges girlfriend after all this fuss. Zhao Gui was furious. Hes the one who came to seek revenge on you. Fine, Ill report it.


    Go ahead, An Lans tone was indifferent, Judge Xu fell off the building for you guys, but not only are you not grateful, you even want to report it. Furthermore, you guys were the ones who owed money. Could it be that Judge Xu was the one who set it up? If you guys really want to go, then I can only personally sue you guys for insulting and ndering public officials. Do you guys really think that Xu Baohan is easy to bully?


    She suddenly mmed the table, Because of you, he suffered head and neck injuries and is still recuperating at home. Not only did you not show any remorse or apology, you even took advantages. If it werent for the fact that people like you are still useful, I would have sued you until you lost everything.


    She was initially cold and indifferent, but now that she was suddenly angry, those from Zhao family felt an inexplicable sense of panic.


    You kept saying that he was embezzling and epting bribes, An Lan sneered, Was he the one who made your son humiliate someone elses wife? Was he the one who made your son kill someone? As parents, you didnt educate your son well. Look at how the father went back on his word and owed money, thats how your son went back on his word outside too. Your son was following his parents example. Also, think about it. The other partys family is also a farmer. How much money do they have to pay bribes? Would the Judge take such a big risk for such a small amount of money? Are they fools or pigs? This news has always been very popr in society. No one would do such a thing.


    Zhu Wentao adjusted his sses and sighed. Shes right.


    I dont want to waste any more time with you guys, An Lan said, Every minute is precious to me. Ive wasted too much time on you guys today. After He Mingqian and I open a court session, I need you guys to testify that He Mingqian instigated you to cause trouble in the court. If you guys arent willing, theres no chance of settling Wei Chengs case. Ill also ept other cases that have grudges with your Zhao family. Think it through on your own.


    An Lawyer An, if we are willing to appear in court, can we not return the money from the Wei City? Yu Fang asked hesitantly.


    Not return it?


    An Lan turned around and sneered, Would you let others not return the money they owe you? The migrant workers work hard to earn a bit of hard-earned money, but they only save a few tens of thousands a year. They have their elders and children to take care of. I can only say that I will let them sympathize with you for losing your son and not having a job. Each of you will take a step back and pay less.

 Chapter 1944. I’m Going To Tell Chief Judge Xu

    Chapter 1944. I��m Going To Tell Chief Judge Xu


    Zhao Gui and his wife were a little reluctant.


    Zhu Wentao frowned and said, This is already the best oue.


    Yu Fang said hesitantly, Its not that were unwilling, its just that we really cant afford it at this time. A few tens of thousands of dors might be a small matter to you, but weve just gone through our sonswsuit, and weve also arranged for our sons funeral. Weve spent over 200,000 dors, and the money for the funeral was borrowed from a few of our older brothers. When my son died, no onepensated us. Weve already used up all of our savings. Even if we were to go out and borrow money at this time, who would be willing to lend us money when we are at such an old age with no job and a dead son? Theres no guarantee.


    Zhao Guis second brother added, Thats true. Were just doing odd jobs to earn some money. Our family isnt that rich, and we cant help much.


    Zhu Wentao also agreed, Actually, I only took a few hundred dors from them when I epted thiswsuit, which they borrowed from some distant rtives. They really dont have any money. Although theyre in the wrong and shouldnt go to the court to cause trouble, and they didnt educate their son well, theyre still pitiful.


    An Lan rubbed the space between her brows. Alright, Im not an unreasonable person. Ill talk to the people in Wei Chengs case but make sure that you can pay back slowly. However, slowly doesnt mean not paying.


    Zhao Gui didnt say anything, but Yu Fang nodded embarrassedly. Then thats all we can do.


    Before she left, An Lan thought for a moment and said, Its useless to go to the court to cause trouble for your sons case. The reason why you lost is because you dont have enough evidence. If you want to overturn the case, you have to find evidence that your son didnt n to kill or silence the victims. Otherwise, when theres not enough evidence in the second and third trials, he will still lose. The court talks about evidence, its not a ce that whoever makes a big fuss will win. Justice is not something that can be easily challenged.


    Yu Fang was stunned. Then, Lawyer An, if you help us to appeal, will we win?


    An Lan turned around and chuckled. Im sorry, you cant afford it. My consultation fee for an hour is more than two thousand dors. If you want me to file awsuit, you wont be able to afford it even if you go bankrupt.


    After that, she left without looking back.


    Zhao Gui said angrily, More than two thousand dors for an hour. She might as well be robbing people. Besides, I heard that she lost thewsuitst time and was scolded to death. What right does she have to be so arrogant?


    Zhu Wentao said embarrassedly, Theres no other way. Shes just that arrogant. Her nicknames are all about money grabbing. But there are really quite a number of people looking for her.


    They were bothwyers, butparing people was simply infuriating.


    In the parking lot downstairs, Yan Wen got into the BMWs co-pilot seat and said unhappily, Lawyer An, why are you still helping that Zhao guy? I see that theyre still not satisfied with the solution you proposed. This kind of person doesnt want to pay a single cent.


    Theres no other way. If we push Zhao Gui too far, he might really resort to extreme methods. An Lan sighed.


    Didnt you say that you are not afraid?


    Thats just me pretending to be confident. An Lan shrugged. Besides, its not wrong. Even if these two people are wrong, their days in the future will not be easy. Its not just psychologically, but also in real life.


    Yan Wen turned around and looked at her with a smile. Lawyer An, you talk tough but youve a soft heart. Is that what Chief Judge Xu likes about you?


    Back at thew firm.


    Just as she entered the door, Li Yuchen raised his chin in annoyance and came over. Theres a client who specifically wants to look for you. Hes waiting for you in the reception room.


    An Lan was speechless. What client? Why are you looking at me like that?


    I dont know. Anyway, judging from his clothes, he looks quite rich, Li Yuchen snorted. He insisted on looking for you, even I was not able to do it. Its most likely because he likes your beauty, Lawyer An. Recently, youre good with men. I have to tell Chief Judge Xu.

 Chapter 1945. A Woman Like Me, Who Only Cared About Looks, Couldn’t Reject Them

    Chapter 1945. A Woman Like Me, Who Only Cared About Looks, Couldn��t Reject Them


    Stop spouting nonsense, you spy. An Lan rolled her eyes at him. He gets jealous easily.


    Li Yuchen chuckled. I cant tell.


    What can you tell? An Lan couldnt be bothered with him and walked straight into the reception room.


    She pushed the door open and entered. A fashionable-looking man in a tuxedo sat on the sofa. When he saw her enter, he waved with a smile. Hi Lawyer An, we meet again.


    An Lan had a good memory. Wasnt this the person she had met at Xiao Sis wedding? Xu Baohans ex-girlfriends ex-boyfriend, howplicated!


    Why, someone in your family has been murdered? An Lan returned with a smile and sat opposite him, her elegant legs crossed. Or are your parents getting a divorce, or is your familyspany going bankrupt due to a legal dispute?


    Tang Zhengs smiling face instantly froze.


    Im only good at fighting thesewsuits. An Lan rested one arm on the sofa pillow behind her and supported her temples. Theres no point in looking for me for anything else.


    No. Before Tang Zheng could finish his sentence, An Lan suddenly turned on the timer on her phone. Hurry up. My fee is four thousand five hundred dors an hour. We charge by the second.


    Isnt it two thousand five hundred dors an hour? Tang Zheng gnashed his teeth and pointed at the consultation fee at the door.


    The price has increased. It just increased. An Lan raised her eyebrows lightly. I like to ughter pigs.


    An Lan, dont go too far. Tang Zhengs face was red with anger, Im sincerely looking for you to discuss a coboration. Ourpany is going to sign arge project with someone recently and needs a legal consultant. I know youre good at this. Xiao Sispany projects have always been your responsibility. I can pay more than them.


    Ive been busy recently and I dont have the time, An Lan said with a faint smile. Of course, if someone in your family was killed or your parents were divorced, I would be very willing to ept it because Im very kind and especially like to ept your familys cases.


    Tang Zheng stood up in anger. You did it on purpose, youre such a vicious woman.


    So many people said that about me today, An Lan yawned. Besides, you know very well what your motive is foring to me. Who knows if youll dig a hole for me? If you cant take revenge on Xu Baohan, youll have no choice but toe to me.


    Youre afraid, arent you? Tang Zheng suddenlyughed and said sarcastically, Lawyer An is so timid, you dont even want to earn money.


    Dont mock me, its useless, An Lanughed lightly, For a richwyer like me, you wouldnt understand our mentality of not wanting to earn money. Besides, Im so beautiful, what if you really like me? I dont want to get involved in a sexual dispute and affect my rtionship with my boyfriend. Besides, Ill be a legal consultant for President Nian, Mr. Xiao and the others because theyre too handsome. A woman like me, who cares about looks, cant reject them.


    In other words, he wasnt handsome enough.


    Tang Zheng took a deep breath to prevent himself from being angered to death. Im not too bad looking.


    An Lan slowly stood up and walked towards him, If you cant catch a womans heart, dont even think about using such an improper method to make others unhappy. I know all your thoughts from the moment you appeared in front of me. You can cheat a youngdy who has no money or social experience, but your methods are too immature to cheat me. If I were you and her heart wasnt with me, I would never pester. Theres a lot of time in life, why would you want to be entangled with a strange woman like me, who humiliate and trample on you, just to upset Xu Baohan?


    The fragrance of her body assaulted his nostrils, and Tang Zheng was slightly startled.


    Pay me the money by the minute and you can go now. An Lan pointed at the time on her phone and showed it to him, then turned around and walked towards the door.

 Chapter 1946. Was so Old yet He Still Didn’t Know His Limits. Was He Still a Child

    Chapter 1946. Was so Old yet He Still Didn��t Know His Limits. Was He Still a Child


    After work, An Lan went straight home. The house used to be quiet and dark, but now, it was brightly lit. She was not used to the aroma of the food in the kitchen.


    Youre back prettyte today. Xu Baohan stood at the door in his apron, his dark eyes glistening under the lights. Busy?


    I am a little busy today. An Lan threw her bag away and went into the kitchen. Just as she wanted to see what he had prepared, Xu Baohan pulled her into his arms.


    You havent kissed me, he reminded her.


    After that, without waiting for her to speak, he gave her a deep kiss.


    An Lan took two deep breaths before reminding him, Judge Xu, take care of your neck. The doctor said to remove your neck brace, but you still cant make anyrge movements. If youre so agitated, Im afraid your neck will be injured again.


    I think Ive almost recovered. If you dont believe me you can try something even more exciting, Xu Baohan suggested seriously.


    An Lans face turned red. Please be quiet. Youre already so old and you still dont know your limits. Are you still a child?


    Yes, Im now a child who cant eat candy. Xu Baohan kissed her again and said carefully, An Lan, I went to the market today and bought pork trotters.


    An Lan:


    If he wanted to buy pork trotters, then buy pork trotters. Why was he so afraid of her objecting? Although she doesnt like eating pork trotters, she didnt dislike people who loved eating pork trotters.


    You should buy some ducks neck to help your figure recover, An Lan said gently.


    Youre saying that Im a duck? Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow. Lawyer An, how should I punish you for insulting a judicial officer?


    I dont know, but I dont think that you will be able to sleep on the bed tonight. An Lan smiled as she stroked his neck.


    Xu Baohan was silent for a few seconds before he smiled. Youre right, Im a duck, I really should buy some duck neck to help me recover.


    Could he have some decency.


    An Lan did not bother to argue with him anymore. She turned to look at the kitchen counter tonight. There were Mandarin fish, pork trotters, and cauliflower. You went to the market today?


    I had nothing to do, so I went there. Xu Baohan pushed her out. Go out and wait, Ill cook. Youve been the one cooking for metely, its time for me to show you my cooking skills.


    Are you sure youre okay? An Lan looked worried.


    An Lan, I use my hand to cook, not my the neck, Xu Baohan said seriously.


    An Lan let him be. She had been tired the whole day, so she went upstairs to take a shower and change intofortable home clothes. When she came downstairs, Xu Baohan had finished cooking.


    Sometimes, it is no doubt that men are more talented in cooking than women. It was no wonder that he used to put in so much effort to want to cook for her.


    Then, An Lan realized that Xu Baohan really liked pork trotters, and his appetite was better than before.


    How was work today? Xu Baohan asked casually. Did it go well?


    It didnt go well. Someone came to look for me and wasted ten minutes of my time. In the end, he didnt even pay me the money and ran away. An Lanughed coldly. At that time, my hourly sry was 4,500yuan. For ten minutes, that was 750yuan.


    Xu Baohan swallowed his food with difficulty. Didnt you say that its 2,500yuan? Did your rates increase again?


    Nope. I just met a pig and wanted to extort that pig., An Lan said calmly. And that pig is rted to you.


    Xu Baohan was stunned for a moment before his expression darkened. Youre talking about Tang Zheng. Why did hee looking for you? You werent bullied by him, were you?


    Would I let him bully me? An Lan asked.

 Chapter 1947. If I Find Out that You Were in Contact with Your Ex-Girlfriend, I’ll Destroy You

    Chapter 1947. If I Find Out that You Were in Contact with Your Ex-Girlfriend, I��ll Destroy You


    Thats true. Xu Baohan frowned. An Lan, next time you see him, you dont have to entertain him at all. I think hes trying to poach you to get back at me. How childish.


    Mhm. An Lan sighed. Why is your ex-girlfriends ex-boyfriend bothering me when Im in a rtionship with you? He better not provoke me.


    Next time hees looking for you, just tell me, Xu Baohan said with a frown.


    The next day, when An Lan went to work, Yan Wen handed her a bouquet of white roses. They were sent over early in the morning, Lawyer An. Was it a romantic gift from Chief Judge Xu? By the way, I think the white roses are quite suitable for you.


    An Lans eyes shed with surprise. Ever since Xu Baohan gave her flowers on their first date, he had not bought flowers for her. Why was he suddenly back to being romantic?


    She took the card and looked at it. When she saw the words Tang Zheng on it, her expression was as if she had eaten SH*T.


    She threw it directly to Yan Wen. Get rid of it.


    After that, white roses were sent over every day at work. Everyone knew that this was Lawyer Ans new suitor.


    Li Yuchen hesitated for a few days before informing Xu Baohan. When Xu Baohan found out about it, he came to thew firm to look for An Lan.


    An Lan had just ended her meeting with a client and smiled when she saw him. Youre here to pick me up from work.


    You have a lot of white roses in your office, Xu Baohan said sullenly. I heard that someone gave them to you.


    An Lan cursed Yan Wen in her heart. She asked her to throw them away but she did not.. However, it was understandable. How could young girls like her bear to throw fresh roses away. Its all thanks to you. Now, Tang Zheng is haunting me, but he hasnt appeared yet, so dont let your imagination run wild.


    Im afraid youll be moved by his flowers. Xu Baohan suddenly became irritated. Why didnt he think of sending flowers every day? They were living together and he was cking off. Its a pity I dont know his number, and I dont know where he lives.


    Then forget it, he didnt disturb me. Besides, I wont be moved by a mere bouquet of flowers. You better dont go and ask your ex-girlfriend for his number, An Lan said darkly. If I find out that you are in contact with your ex-girlfriend, I would definitely destroy you.


    I wont. Sensing her concern, Xu Baohan heaved a sigh of relief. However, his sense of crisis did not dissipate. An Lan, Ill start sending you flowers tomorrow as well.


    Dont send them, An Lan quickly stopped him. Dont waste money.


    Xu Baohan smiled. You are already starting to save money for me.


    No, An Lan coughed. But you can give me a red packet using the money you intend to spent on the flowers.


    Xu Baohan didnt know whether tough or to cry. This woman had definitely fallen into a money pit.


    ..


    After his half-month holiday from the courthouse ended, Xu Baohan returned to work. It wasnt easy for him to return to work, and there were a lot of cases waiting for him to take over. Every night, he would be busy until 9 pm before he got off work. An Lans ce was too far away, so he didnt go over.


    On the other hand, An Lan sometimes was not used to returning to a deserted house. Fortunately, she would soon apany Xiao Si to Hong Kong to discuss a coboration. This time, it was mainly for a B2C project. The investment wasnt small, and aswyer, she needed to be around the entire time.


    The time was rtively long, so she drove straight to Xu Baohans ce and slept there at night.


    When Xu Baohan found out, his brows could crush a fly. So youre saying that youre going to be with Xiao Si for the next five days?


    Hes a newlywed, why are you so nervous? An Lan rolled her eyes. I got it. You want me to go on a business trip with Mr Nian instead, right?

 Chapter 1948. He Wouldn’t Feel Safe at Home

    Chapter 1948. He Wouldn��t Feel Safe at Home


    Then Ill rather if its Xiao Si. Xu Baohans expression was cold as he struggled to make a decision.


    Dont let your imagination run wild. An Lan ruffled his hair. If I wanted to have anything with Mr. Xiao, I wouldnt wait till today. Hes not my type.


    Then whats your type? Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow as he looked at her, his crimson lips curling up slightly.


    An Lan was secretly amused by his naivety. He clearly knew her type, yet he still insisted on asking. I like men like you.


    Good. Xu Baohans pupils contracted slightly as he pulled her to sit on hisp. Im not used to you being away for so long.


    You have to get used to it. I used to travel a lot for work, but now I rarely do it. An Lan smiled as she found afortable spot on his chest. As for you, Ill be away for five days. Dont go around looking for other women.


    Where am I supposed to do that? Xu Baohan sighed. There are a lot of things to do in the court.


    Thats good, you better be busy.


    An Lan was very satisfied.


    Xu Baohan pinched her nose and lowered his head to kiss her.


    It was An Lans first time going on a business trip since they got together. The two of them will not see each other for a long time. Tonight, they were very cooperative and moved by each other, but Xu Baohan still did not to break through to the final step. An Lan felt a little strange. When he was injured, he had beenining about wanting it every day, but now he had almost recover, but he did not take any action.


    An Lan, I dont think you are mentally prepared, Xu Baohan said softly as he brushed his forehead before falling asleep.


    An Lan was stunned. Her sleepiness disappeared just like that. Was she mentally prepared? She was indeed not prepared. Deep down, she was actually a conservative person.


    For now, you dont have the thought of staying with me for the rest of your life, Xu Baohan said with a soft sigh.


    An Lan was speechless. After a long while, she finally spoke, Baohan, perhaps we havent known each other for long enough, and Ive been used to being alone all this while. Now that I suddenly realized that Ive met the right person, I couldnt believe it. Happiness came too suddenly.


    That was why she felt uneasy.


    Its alright, youll know that our happiness isnt sudden at all, its just fate. Xu Baohan kissed her forehead, his fingers gently caressing her shoulder. Go to sleep.


    The next day, when An Lan woke up, the other side of the bed was already empty.


    A soft sound came from the closet. She walked over and leaned against the door frame, watching Xu Baohan help her pack her luggage. Every piece of clothing was folded neatly, her toothbrush, toothpaste, and towel were ced at the side.


    It had been a long time since someone had helped her pack her things when she was going on a long trip. Thest time was when she was going to study abroad, her mother helped her pack, but that was thest time.


    An Lan suddenly realized that deep down, she really wanted a family.


    You forgot that womens cosmetics and skincare products are essential, An Lan reminded him as she walked towards the suitcase.


    Yes, I feel like something is missing. Xu Baohan seemed to have woken up from a dream. He looked up and saw her standing in front of him in her nightdress. She wasnt wearing any shoes and her nails were painted with dark pink nail polish. She exuded an alluring allure early in the morning.


    Also, why are the clothes you pack all so dark? An Lan knocked on her luggage with a smile. I dont usually like to wear them.


    Lawyer An, I was caring for you. Xiao Si is newly married and if youre dressed too beautifully on a business trip with him, what will his wife think? Xu Baohan said in a considerate tone.


    Are you sure its because of his wife? An Lan nodded and asked.


    Xu Baohan coughed lightly. You should also think of your boyfriend. He wont feel safe at home.

 Chapter 1949. Xuan Yuanlang

    Chapter 1949. Xuan Yuang


    Xu Baohan had a court session in the morning, so he couldnt send her to the airport. An Lan didnt let him go either, as Sheng Tings car would be there to pick her up.


    After checking-in at the airport, the group of people apanying them were already waiting at the airports VIP lounge.


    An Lan, youre the only one whoste. Were you and Xu Baohan spending some couple- time at home? Xiao Si chuckled.


    Hes in a hurry to go to work at 8:30am, what couple-time? An Lan rolled her eyes at him. You, on the other hand, a newlywed, are you fine with being away for so many days?


    The general manager of Shengting, Cao Zirui, said, Mr Nian should be there personally. After all, this is a big project.


    An Lan chuckled. If I go, he probably wont go. He said that hes afraid that Luo Sang will think too much and get jealous.


    Xiao Si held back hisughter and said, You really know him well, but maybe hes overthinking.


    Hes always overthinking, An Lan sighed and said, Besides, Luo Sang wont worry about him. He already knows that I have a boyfriend, and knows that I dont even have him in my heart.


    Forget it. Theres a real reason why he isnt cpming this time, Xiao Si shook his head and said with a smile, Because this time, the B2C project partner has an acquaintance, and he doesnt want to see him.


    Who? An Lan raised her eyebrows.


    Xiao Si reminded her, theres a saying that goes, if Yu already exist, why create Liang that person who oftenpared to Mr Nian


    Xuan Yuang, An Lan blurted out.


    Xiao Si snapped his fingers. Thats right. Thats why Mr Nian doesnt want to go. He said that when the media sees the two of them on the same stage, they will definitelypare the both of them. He doesnt want to lower himself to bepared to him.


    The corner of An Lans mouth twitched. Since its able to attract Mr Nian and Xuan Yuang, it looks like this project is indeed quite attractive.


    Its alright. Xiao Si turned his head to look at her. Speaking of which, youre from the same school as Mr Nian and Xuan Yuang. You should know each other, right?


    I know them. When I was studying, I often met him in the library. Hes quite a polite person. An Lan suddenly felt a little awkward. But at that time, I had something for Mr Nian. After I found out that he and Mr Nian werent on good terms, I didnt like him much. Now that I think about it, I must have been a fool back then. Both of them were financial tycoons. I should have maintained a good rtionship with both of time, then I will be having a good time now.


    Its alright. Its inevitable to be separated into different gangs when you were young and naive. It was rare that Xiao Si did not mock her.


    After arriving in Hong Kong, An Lan received a call from Xu Baohan as soon as she got off the ne. Did you arrive safely?


    Dont worry, our domestic ne is very good. There are no idents. An Lan smiled as she walked out of the airport. She saw quite a number of shops. There are quite a lot of things in Hong Kong. What gift do you want? Ill bring it back for you.


    I want you, Xu Baohan said in a low voice. You just need to bring yourself back, safe and sound.


    Suddenly, he started flirting. An Lan was followed by a group of people from thepany. Her face and heart suddenly felt warm. Well, dont worry, the security here is pretty good. Im serious, what gift do you want?


    I dont know, Xu Baohan thought seriously for a while. I dont seem to need anything. I already have a girlfriend, I just need a wife.


    How was she going to continue this conversation.


    Just buy yourself more things, dont worry about me, Xu Baohan finally said. Remember to use my card when you buy things, otherwise my existence would be meaningless.

 Chapter 1950. You’ve Had Quite a Long Meal

    Chapter 1950. You��ve Had Quite a Long Meal


    After hanging up the phone, An Lans heart was filled with sweetness.


    It felt good to have a boyfriend on a business trip, and it felt good to have her boyfriends card. Although the other party might not have as much money as she did, it was the thought that matter.


    After arriving at the hotel, Xiao Si and his men immediately had a video conference with Nian Junting, Nian Junting said, We cant eat such a big piece of cake in one go. We can let Xuan Yuang have a share, but we cant lose out. During the meeting, we need to understand the IT system, the logistics system, and the financial system


    An Lan listened to him casually. This wasnt important to her as awyer.


    In the evening, she had dinner with B2Cs director, president He. Other investors who were involved in this coboration were also present.


    On Shengtings side, Xiao Si, An Lan, and Cao Zirui were the representatives.


    After entering the private chamber, An Lan recognized Xuan Yuang who was sitting next to president He at a nce. It was not that she had never seen Xuan Yuang on the news before, but after close contact, Xuan Yuangs ck suit made him look tall and big, he was wearing a silver cuff on his exquisite wrist and a low-key yet luxurious watch. Under the lights, his handsome face was refined and elegant, but it didnt lose the domineering air of a businessman.


    An Lan was in a daze for a moment. She remembered that although Xuan Yuang was elegant and reserved in university, he still had the aura of a young schr.


    Before she knew it, everyone had grew up.


    Vice president Xiao, let me introduce you. This is the CEO of Langhua Investment, Xuan Yuang. President He hurriedly introduced him to them. This is vice president Xiao of Shengting.


    Hello, Xuan Yuang reached out to shake Xiao Sis hand, then said with a smile, I thought I would be able to meet Mr Nian this time. I havent seen him in a long time.


    Xiao Si forced himself to lie, Mr Nian is very busy.


    Although its a pity that you and Mr Nian are old school friends and didnt get to meet this time round, Shengting has sent a familiar face. Xuan Yuang looked at An Lan, then narrowed her beautiful eyes, An Lan, its been six or seven years since west met. You look much more mature than before. I didnt expect you to still work for Nian Junting after so long.


    An Lan was stunned. She didnt expect such a big shot like him to still remember her. She smiled and said, A small figure like me usually depends on big bosses for a living.


    That makes sense, Xuanyuan Lang nodded and said with a faint smile, Then, are you interested in working for me? I can offer you a better sry.


    An Lan felt that these words sounded familiar, as if Tang Zheng had just said it a while ago.


    She didnt know whether tough or cry. Was her market too good?


    Sigh, it doesnt seem right for CEO Xuan Yuan to poach people in front of us like this, Xiao Si said half-jokingly. Besides, yourpany isnt even in Xia City.


    I have a chain ofmunity fresh projects in Xia City recently,Xuan Yuang suddenly said. I n to promote them nationwide.


    Xiao Si gritted his teeth. CEO Xuanyuan has such a long hand. He even reached out to our Xia City.


    Everyone is working on their own projects, Xuan Yuang said with a smile. No matter what, Xia City is still a second-tier big city. Its also close to the coast. Its a good city thats worth investing in.


    Unknowingly, the mes of war had already spread. An Lan timely reminded, Lets take a seat first. Isnt everyone working together this time?


    Only then did everyone take their seats.


    However, the meal was extremely tense, so An Lan had no choice but to be careful. She didnt even look at her phone.


    After the meal, she realized that there were a few WeChat messages from Xu Baohan.


    She replied: We were eating..


    Xu Baohan replied: Its already 8:30pm, you guys have been eating for a long time.

 Chapter 1951. Do Capitalists Have Integrity?

    Chapter 1951. Do Capitalists Have Integrity?


    An Lan: Thats how it is in the business world. Its mainly about business. Ill call you tomorrow. After dinner, Im going shopping with someone. Ill be back veryte.


    As soon as she put away her phone, the people at the table were saying goodbye.


    An Lan walked over and shook hands with Xuan Yuang. Xuan Yuang handed her a business card and said, Give me your business card.


    His tone was so dominating, just like Nian Junting. An Lan couldnt help but to but take out her own business card and hand it to him. .


    Not bad. Youre starting your ownw firm now, Xuan Yuang said with a yful look in his eyes, Junior, do you have time to have a meal together in Hong Kong these days?


    An Lan was hesitating whether she should establish a good rtionship with him, when Xiao Si walked over and saidzily, Dont eye on her. She has a boyfriend now.


    Oh? Xuan Yuang turned his business card around. Thats not bad. Youre not married yet, it means that I still have a chance.


    Xiao Si rolled his eyes. CEO Xuanyuan, can you have some integrity?


    Do capitalists have integrity? Xuan Yuang asked back.


    An Lan rubbed her forehead and smiled. Senior, dont joke around. How can an outstanding person like you be afraid of not having a woman around?


    I need women, especially capable women, Xuan Yuang said with a lowugh. Junior, youre just awyer, not an investor. You dont have to draw a clear line between you and me. To be honest, Nian Junting and I arent enemies. Were both businessmen. The most important thing for a businessman is to have connections. Its fate that we met from America to Hong Kong.


    After saying that, he put one hand into his pocket and left gracefully.


    Xiao Si asked An Lan in surprise, Did you have a good rtionship with him when you were studying?


    I dont think so. An Lan thought for a while and said, But I can understand. There werent many Chinese who studied in America. After graduation, they went their separate ways and didnt meet each other much. Its quite emotional to meet him.


    I dont object to working with him. After all, hes right. Were all businessmen. Its foolish not to earn money,Xiao Si said. Im your friend. I definitely hope that you earn more, but make sure that he doesnt have other motives.


    After he finished, he nced at her body.


    An Lan had goosebumps from his stare. Watch your eyes.


    A man, Huh? Haha. Xiao Si put on a fake smile.


    At this moment, the general manager of the Wind Control Department, Zhang Kelin, walked over and put her arm around An Lans shoulder. Weve just discussed it and decided to go to the bar tonight. Well go shopping tomorrow.


    Whats so fun about a bar? Its so noisy. An Lan sighed. Then can I choose not to go?


    No, its crowded and lively, Zhang Kelin said with a smile, Its fine if Mr. Xiao is afraid of his wife and wont go, but as an unmarried person, why are you hiding? Let me tell you, once youre married, itll be difficult for you to leave the house. Hubby is very strict. Dont worry, its all familiar faces. Just rx a little. Its just the bar downstairs. The drinks here are good.


    An Lan couldnt persuade these people at all, so she could only follow them downstairs to the bar. However, the atmosphere of the bar here was good. Many people from different countries were ying jazz music, and the air was filled withughter and the aroma of delicious food.


    Everyone was chatting quite happily. An Lan finished the Martini in her hand, and she walked to the bar counter with an empty ss. Give me another Irish Martini.


    The most delicious drink here is the White Chocte Martini, a slender figure took the seat next to her.


    An Lan turned around and saw Xuan Yuang.

 Chapter 1952. She Had the Potential to Be a Femme Fatale

    Chapter 1952. She Had the Potential to Be a Femme Fatale


    What a coincidence, An Lan came back to her senses and greeted him.


    What a coincidence, Xuan Yuang chuckled. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box in his right hand with his left hand and asked, Do you mind?


    Its okay, An Lan was a little unsure. What did Xuanyuan Lang mean by this? He had been at odds with Nian Junting since he was a student, and they had been fighting all the way until they entered the mall. Was he trying to poach her to anger Nian Junting, however, she wasnt that attractive to Nian Junting.


    Senior she said hesitantly, If you want to make Mr Nian unhappy, I think itll be more effective for you to poach Xiao Si.


    Xuanyuanng burst intoughter, An Lan, why are you still the same as before?


    After saying that, he turned to the bartender and offered her a ss of White Chocte Martini.


    I dont think I agreed with your suggestion, An Lan smiled and said, Also, what happened to me in the past? I used to be quite good.


    I used to be good, but I only focused on Nian Junting, Xuan Yuang lowered her head and lit up a cigarette, then took a light puff, After graduation, you returned to China to work, so we worked well together. I was quite surprised when I heard that he got married and the bride wasnt you. Youve been liking him for so many years, but in the end, someone else got him.


    An Lan felt awkward. Was it that obvious that she like Nian Junting while she was still in school? Even Xuan Yuang knew about it. Gosh, it was lucky that Xu Baohan wasnt here. Whats so strange about that? It was just wishful thinking at that time, and he didnt like me either. There are many things that cant be exined clearly. Look at how many people fell in love when we were in America. After graduation, they all went their separate ways. As for you, senior, are you considered a dragon among men? You havent gotten married yet. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?


    No, you want to introduce me? Xuanyuan Lang said with interest.


    An Lan chuckled. You have such a high status, who else can I introduce to be worthy of you?


    I do. Xuanyuan Langs meaningful gazended on her. You.


    An Lan was so scared that her body trembled. She widened her eyes and looked at him. Dont joke around.


    I was right when I said that youre the same. Xuan Yuang shook his head. Youre just slow-witted.


    An Lan thought for a while and said, I dont think Im slow-witted.


    After all, she had dealt with so many people in the business world, and she was still able to do it with ease.


    If youre not slow-witted, then why didnt you notice that I liked you back in America? Xuan Yuang sighed and shook her head, Do you think its a coincidence for me to appear in front of you as a senior in such a big school? Are there that many coincidences? Back then, I wasnt happy to see you following behind Nian Junting every day. In terms of looks, am I worse than him? In terms of grades, Im on par with him, right?


    An Lan felt that she had received some shocking news that night.


    The bartender happened to push the wine over. In order to calm her down, she casually drank half a ss and said, So youre not on good terms with Mr Nian because of me?


    She didnt expect that she had the potential to be a femme fatale.


    Xuan Yuang knocked on the table and reminded her, Nian Junting doesnt like you, so you cant affect him in any way. At most, you can affect me. Even if were not on good terms, theres still academicpetition.


    An Lan felt awkward, Well I have a boyfriend now. Were good.


    The man you like must be quite charming, Xuan Yuang stared into her eyes and said, do I still have a chance?

 Chapter 1953. Why Didn’t My Card Receive Any Information about the Transactions

    Chapter 1953. Why Didn��t My Card Receive Any Information about the Transactions


    Those eyes were too charming, and his voice was too intoxicated.


    An Lan thought that if she hadnt met Xu Baohan, she would have seriously considered it, but now


    I dont think so, she said apologetically.


    Xuan Yuang nodded. Youre not young anymore, will you get married?


    I dont know, if there arent any idents, I think so, An Lan said honestly.


    Alright, then I wish you the best. Xuan Yuang raised his ss.


    An Lan paused for a moment, then realized that at Xuan Yuangs level, he didnt need to pester women anymore. Besides, he only said that he liked her back then. It had been so long, how much could he still like her. It was just a little regret from his youth, just like how she used to like Nian Junting, but now he was gone.


    Thank you.


    After clinking cups with him, An Lan finished her drink and found that a cocktail was gone. Its really delicious. It seems that youre a regr customer here.


    I guess so. You can see Victoria Harbor from here, and its not some inte-famous bar. Sometimes, Ie here if things get too stressful. Xuan Yuang asked the bartender to refill another ss for her.


    After the two of them talked things out, they werent so reserved anymore. They got along with each other easily and happily. Unknowingly, they started talking about the things that happened in college. They also talked about the changes of some people that they knew when they were studying in America. Then, they talked about the business world, they talked about thew.


    An Lan found that Xuan Yuang was indeed a man who was famous in the business world. He was well-informed and humorous. He wasnt like Nian Junting. Sometimes, she wanted to expand her horizons by talking to him. She could talk him to death in just three sentences.


    Time flew by, and before she knew it, she had seen more than 12 kinds of wine. Zhang Kelin came to her with a hint of drunkenness and said, Friend, its time to go back. We have an early meeting tomorrow.


    Itste, Xuan Yuang looked at his watch and said, Ill meet you in the conference room at nine oclock tomorrow morning.


    Lets talk next time, An Lan got down from the high chair. She didnt realize that she was sitting there, but when shended on the ground, she realized that her legs were weak and her head was dizzy. Xuan Yuang quickly helped her stand up.


    Haha, I forgot to tell you. Although the wine I rmended is delicious, its a little intoxicating. Xuan Yuang gently handed her to Zhang Kelin.


    Why didnt you say so earlier? An Lan red at him before returning to the hotel shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Kelin and the other two female drunkards.


    The general manager, Cao Zirui, looked at them worriedly. Hey, are the two of you really okay? Dont fall to your deaths together. I still need the two of you at the meeting tomorrow.


    F * ck off, jinx, Zhang Kelin turned and gave her a kick. I can even drink ten more bottles of beer.


    ..


    Back at the hotel.


    An Lan took a casual shower and went to sleep after lying down.


    The next day, she was still woken up by the phone. She ced her phone by her ear and stretched her body in a daze. Hello


    What time is it? Are you still sleeping? Did you stay uptest night?Xu Baohans voice was mixed with the sound of the radio in the car.


    Erm An Lan suddenly remembered that she had told him yesterday that she was going to go shopping, but then she went to a bar.


    As an experienced cadre, if he knew that she was going to a bar, he would definitely be jealous again, so he simply lied. Yes, I stayed upte.


    What did you buy?


    Just cosmetics, bags and so on, An Lan answered vaguely.


    Xu Baohan was silent for a moment before asking, Then why didnt my card receive any information about the transaction, not a single one.

 Chapter 1954. I’ve only Left for a Day, and You’re already Itching for Trouble

    Chapter 1954. I��ve only Left for a Day, and You��re already Itching for Trouble


    An Lanpletely forgot about this matter.


    Could it be that her lie would be exposed in less than half a minute.


    Because I just bought some small things yesterday. I havent bought anything really expensive yet, An Lan quickly said in a panic. When I want to buy something expensive, Ill definitely use your card.


    Xu Baohan said in a deep voice,  An Lan, the bag you usually use already cost more than 100,000 yuan and you consider it cheap. If you buy something expensive could it be that you want to buy a building in Hong Kong?


    An Lan,


    Xu Baohan coughed softly. If I want to buy a building in Hong Kong, my card might not be enough. Even if you sell me away, it might not be enough.


    An Lan was speechless. After racking her brain for a long time, she finally said, I didnt buy such an expensive bagst night. I bought it at a special price, 1,000 yuan.


    Were your bags ever so cheap? Xu Baohan suddenly lowered his voice. An Lan, are you starting to save money after getting together with me?


    Dont let your imagination run wild. I think that bag looks pretty good, An Lanmented silently in her heart. She really regretted it. If she could do it all over again, she wouldnt have lied. So what if she went to a bar. If he nagged at her, then so be it.


    The atmosphere was quiet for a while before Xu Baohan smiled. An Lan, I was joking, but it seems like this joke is a littleme. Of course, I know that you cant buy a property in Hong Kong. The price of the property is so high, its impossible for you to invest there.


    This joke was especiallyme.


    An Lan buried her face into the pillow and said gloomily, next time, dont joke around. Thank you, but dont worry, Im not a spendthrift person. I know that its not easy for you to earn money, I wont spend it recklessly.


    An Lan, I didnt mean that, Xu Baohan exined, stunned. Anyways, I gave you the card, so you can spend it however you want. Although I dont have as much money as you, and Im just an ordinary judicial officer, Im willing to hand over all my money to you. I might not be able to satisfy you fully, but I know my limits.


    An Lan scratched her head. Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Didnt you say that you wanted me to support you? Why are you still saying this?


    We both know that was just a joke, Xu Baohan said softly. There is disparity between us in terms of the amount of money we make and our spending power. But I dont think that I cant give you happiness, because I know what kind of happiness you are looking for.


    An Lans heart trembled. Alright, then tell me what kind of happiness I want?


    A home, a soulmate, Xu Baohans faint smile came through the microphone. An Lan, you are an independent woman. Letting a man support you is not something you would do. Otherwise, even if I liked you, my rationality would not allow me to pursue you. Because I know that even if we got together and I cant give you what you want, you wont be happy either. I believe that my family background is alright, I have an interesting soul, and my knowledge of thew isprehensive, which is perfect for you.


    An Lan burst outughing. Who cares if you have an interesting soul? Besides, is it a good thing that you haveprehensive knowledge of thew? If I find someone who is clueless of thew, should we get divorced, I can let him leave without getting any asset.


    Thats why it takes courage to marry awyer, Xu Baohan agreed. If I dont enter Hell, who will go to Hell?


    Wait for me toe back and teach you a lesson, An Lan gritted her teeth. Ive only been away for a day, and youre already itching for a lesson.


    Mm, hurry up ande back and teach me a lesson. Xu Baohans voice was filled with a gentle smile. Ive been itching for you to teach me a lesson.

 Chapter 1955. Two Bosses. Both of Them Were Chatterboxes

    Chapter 1955. Two Bosses. Both of Them Were Chatterboxes


    So seductive in the early in the morning.


    An Lan felt sweet and helpless. Alright, I know you miss me. Just bear with it for now. After all, Im also the boss of a bigw firm. I have a lot of work to do every day.


    Okay.


    Im not going to talk nonsense with you anymore. Im going to get up. I have a meetingter and havent had breakfast yet. An Lan hung up the phone with him.


    Just as she was about to go freshen up, the doorbell outside rang.


    Xiao Si opened the door and stood at the door. Ive been calling you, but I cant reach you. Its time to get up and have breakfast, big sister.


    Who are you to call me big sister? An Lan stuck her head out and looked around the door.


    What are you doing? Xiao Si was baffled.


    Of course Im checking to see if there are any reporters, An Lan said snappily. Ever since you started dating Ji Nuanyi, many media outlets have been waiting for both of you to divorce. Especially you, whenever you get close to a certain woman, itll be all over the news that Ji Nuanyis hubby cheats on her with some woman. I dont want to get involved in your scandal.


    Xiao Sis delicate face darkened. The media nowadays have no moral bottom line. They simply dont understand how much I love Nuanyi. Speaking of which, I heard that you drank quite a bit with Xuan Yuangst night. Youre not going to cheat, are you?


    What nonsense are you talking about? An Lan was speechless. Were fine. Xuan Yuang and I are schoolmates after all. Hes my senior, so its quite normal to have a chat.


    Actually, I think it would be quite good if you could have met Xuan Yuan;ang earlier, Xiao Si suddenly sighed. Who knows, there might be some sparks between the two of you. The two of you are quitepatible, right? A strong woman and a strong man. To be honest, to be Xuan Yuangs wife, you have to have a certain calibre.


    Enough, I am someone with a boyfriend. An Lan was annoyed. Besides, Mr Nian and him are sworn enemies. Arent you Mr Nians man?


    Xiao Si chuckled. You cant question his character just because he is Tingtings sworn enemy. Tingtings personality ispatible with a few people, so I said you should have met sooner. Its toote now.


    An Lan waved her hand in disdain. Great CEO Xiao, go to the restaurant. Dont dy me from changing. I dont want to chat with you early in the morning.


    She really couldnt stand it. Both her bosses were chatterboxes.


    Alright, but if Xuan Yuang wants to work with you, I think you can ept the offer, Xiao Si suddenly said as he turned around. Actually, it has nothing to do with Shengting. Its not a bad thing to earn more money.


    An Lan was slightly startled and a warm feeling shed through her heart, she said, thank you. Actually, youre a pretty good boss. Had I not known that you liked to collect womens magazines and watch action movies in the office, and thought that you had a perverted side hidden deep in your heart, maybe I would have fell for you back then.


    Xiao Si staggered as he left. He turned around and red at An Lan. Shut up.


    I meant what I said. An Lan blinked. I was touched and I spoke my mind.


    Get lost.


    Xiao Si left in a huff.


    After a long meeting, Shengting officially signed the B2C project on the fourth day. The people who were with him were finally free to shop as much as they wanted.


    An Lan picked out a watch for Xu Baohan. After returning to the hotel, she received a call from Xuan Yuang. You guys are going back to Hong Kong tomorrow night. Lets have lunch together. I have something to talk to you about. Its about making money.


    An Lan smiled. What, youre such a big boss and you dont have a legal consultant by your side?

 Chapter 1956. I’m Sorry, I Can’t Come to Pick You up

    Chapter 1956. I��m Sorry, I Can��t Come to Pick You up


    Of course I do. Xuan Yuang chuckled. But hes not from Xia City. I just entered Xia City, and I hope that thewyer is local. Its easier to settle things. After all, hes a foreigner.


    You trust me so much? An Lan understood his point, and she also thought that his concerns were reasonable.


    Ive heard some stuff about you. Youre the money-snatching Lawyer An, Xuan Yuang said teasingly. I admire people who love money as much as I do. People like you are very capable.


    An Lan smiled and said, alright, lets have lunch together tomorrow.


    At noon the next day, the two of them arranged to meet at a high-end Western restaurant nearby. It was open-air, and outside was Victoria Harbor, which gave them a wide view.


    An Lan listened to Xuan Yuang talk about his new project in Xia City. She couldnt help but to be amazed by the foresight of people like Nian Junting and Xuan Yuang, who were always at the forefront of others. They werent predicting the future development of the market, instead, they were driving the direction of the market.


    Arent you afraid that Ill tell Mr Nian about your project when I get back? An Lan said half-jokingly.


    You definitely have work ethics, Xuan Yuang said with a half-smile while holding a ss of red wine. Unless you dont want to work in this industry anymore.


    Youre so ruthless. Im your junior after all, An Lan sighed lightly.


    Not when you decided to betray me, Xuan Yuang picked up his knife and fork, his gaze was sharp. But you wont. Based on my understanding of Nian Junting, hes not interested in these projects. Besides, I wont let you be responsible for some confidential agreements and contracts. Those are all drawn up by my legal consultant. You only need to be responsible for setting up thepany system, preventing and resolving some legal risks and problems with thebor contract. Of course, if there are some negotiations and disputes involved, you need to step up.


    I cant do it alone. I need to bring myw firm with me, An Lan said, after all, your project is quite big.


    Deal.


    Xuan Yuang clinked sses with her and said, Ill see you in Xia City.


    An Lan was in a good mood during the meal. After she went back, she called Li Yuchen and told him about it. Li Yuchen was overjoyed, Tsk, tsk, An, youre really my God of Wealth. I didnt expect you to not only know Nian Junting, but also connect with Xuan Yuang. Once this project is done, hell definitely work with us again. I knew that I could get abalone if I work with you


    Stop, An Lan said rudely. If you really think that you can get abalone by working with me, then dont be Xu Baohans spy, okay? You were the one who tipped him off about the flowersst time.


    Dont say that. Chief Judge Xu will be your husband sooner orter, Li Yuchen chuckled. Im trying to build a good rtionship with your future hubby in advance. Besides, Im doing this so that your rtionship wont be misunderstood.


    Forget it. An Lan didnt want to talk about him anymore.


    In the afternoon, the group took a ne back to Xia city.


    Before boarding the ne, An Lan and Xu Baohan had a phone call. In the court, Xu Baohan was preparing for a trial. When he received the call, he was helpless. An Lan, Im sorry, I cante to pick you up.


    Sometimes, as a judge, he was really helpless. Unlike other public servants who could leave after taking a leave of absence. He basically had an open a court session every day, so he couldnt take a leave of absence.


    It doesnt matter. In the afternoon, you can just leave work on time and cook the dishes that I like to eat, An Lan said with a smile. Im tired of eating the delicacies in Hong Kong every day. I kind of miss your simple meals.

 Chapter 1957. Lang Huas CEO Meeting His Mysterious Girlfriend in Hong Kong at Night

    Chapter 1957. Lang Hua''s CEO Meeting His Mysterious Girlfriend in Hong Kong at Night


    So all I make is simple food? Xu Baohan said, feigning displeasure.


    Yes, thats right, but you cant get enough of your simple meals, right? An Lan changed the topic, and Xu Baohan smiled.


    Be good,e back soon, Ill go buy you some food, Xu Baohan said after hanging up the phone. He looked at the time and calcted that he had to get off work on time today.


    At 5:30 pm, Xu Baohan finished writing the verdict and took his coat to get off work. Just as he got up, Su Run, who was sitting opposite him, also stood up slowly with a strange expression on his face. Chief Judge, you got off work so early today, is Lawyer Aning back?


    Yes, Xu Baohan replied coldly, but there was still a hint of joy in his eyes. He seemed to be in a good mood. Ill go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables, Ill leave the rest to you.


    Oh, then you should hurry up, Su Runs lips moved as he said hesitantly.


    Xu Baohan thought that he didnt understand something, but he didnt ask. As his assistant, he would have to take charge one day. There were some things that he had to rely on himself.


    Xu Baohan hurried to the parking lot. It was drizzling today, so the female colleagues didnt seem to have any umbres with them. They stood at the door and started talking.


    Hey, this person is Chief Judge Xus girlfriend, right?


    Thats right, its her.


    I suddenly feel a little sorry for our Chief Judge. Its rare for him to have a girlfriend. He wont be cheated on, will he?


    I dont know. Speaking of which, Xuan Yuang is not only young, but also handsome and rich. Its said that hes the only young talent who canpete with Shengting. Look at where theyre going. You can tell at a nce that the ce is not cheap.


    Thats right. Although Chief Judge Xus background is quite good for us,pared to the people in the financial world sigh, to be frank, even though Lawyer An is also in the legal industry as us, I heard that she earns quite a lot.


    What are you guys talking about? Xu Baohans voice suddenly appeared behind the female colleagues.


    Everyone turned around and was shocked. One of the female colleagues phone slipped out of her hand in shock.


    Xu Baohan caught it in mid-air and saw a piece of entertainment news that was still on. In the photo, An Lan and a pretty young man were eating and drinking red wine in a restaurant. In the other photo, they were in a colourful bar She lowered her head, one of the mans hands was on her shoulder, and she grabbed his arm with one hand. Her entire body seemed to be leaning on his shoulder, looking very intimate.


    The headline of the news was: Lang Huas CEO meeting his mysterious girlfriend in Hong Kong at night


    Chief Chief Judge Xu, the female colleague looked at his sharp and cold face with trepidation. There was clearly no change in his expression, but why did she feel a chill in the air.


    My girlfriend is casually chatting with another man about work, and you guys are already talking about her like this, Xu Baohan said as he stood up and returned her phone calmly. As awyer, you dont look at evidence and you believe in these ambiguous photos. Dont you guys have the ability to distinguish right from wrong?


    I Im sorry, a younger female colleague apologized. Her face was red. Youre right.


    Be careful next time, Xu Baohan said ndly. He opened his umbre and strode into the rain.


    After getting into the car, Xu Baohan closed the door and watched the rain leave on the windshield for a while. Then, he took out his phone and searched for the name of the CEO of Lang Hua on the Inte. Xuan Yuang, 32 years old. He graduated from a famous university in the United States that ranked 50th in the world. He was single and both Nian Junting and him had been ranked in the top 20 of Chinas Forbes Rich List for three years in a row. They were known as the youngest and most handsome talents in the financial world.

 Chapter 1958. He just Appeared, Just Like in the Past

    Chapter 1958. He just Appeared, Just Like in the Past


    Xu Baohan read the news in detail three times. After memorizing every word, he put down his phone. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand, his veins bulging. With the other hand, he called An Lan.


    The call didnt go through. She should be getting off the ne by now.


    He checked her flight number. It was dyed, and she wouldntnd in Xia City until six oclock.


    He massaged his temples.


    He had repeatedly warned other legal workers not to believe these specious photos, but he couldnt help but let his imagination run wild.


    He sat quietly for a while and drove to therge supermarket near his home to buy groceries.


    He had originally nned out what to buy and what to cook for her, but at this time, his mind was in a mess. He pushed the cart around the fresh area for a long time, not knowing what to take.


    After wandering for a long time, the cart suddenly collided with another carting from the side.


    Sorry. He pulled the cart away and walked to the other side. Suddenly, someone called out to him from behind.


    Ah Han.


    He turned around. A meter away stood a young woman in a ck knitted long dress. Her long ck hair hung down straight, her facial features were clean, and her temperament was beautiful and quiet.


    He frowned in surprise. He didnt expect to bump into her just now.


    It had been many years since theyst met. Her cheeks seemed to have be thinner and calmer. In his memory, she looked very bright and beautiful.


    Perhaps she wasnt very happy after being with Tang Zheng.


    What a coincidence. Zhuang Tianya pushed the shopping cart closer, a deep smile blossoming on her serene face. I didnt expect to bump into you. Oh right, I remember that your house seems to be quite close to here. Have you not moved?


    Why would I move? Xu Baohan was confused.


    After your parents divorced, I thought you would move. Zhuang tianya sized him up. He was wearing a grey knitted shirt with a white t-shirt underneath. He also wore round-rimmed sses, making him look even more handsome than before, he had lost some of the sharp edges on his body, making him look more mature and calm.


    No, Xu Baohan replied calmly. Im living quite well here, its convenient for me to go to work.


    Youre right. Zhuang Tianya suddenly lowered her head and smiled. Its not like a long time ago when you were still working at smaller province, every time I went to visit you, I had to drive for a long time.


    Xu Baohan frowned. That was a long time ago, theres no point mentioning them. I have to go buy groceries.


    Do you want to buy pork trotters? Its over there, Zhuang Tianya said as she pointed ahead.


    Xu Baohan paused when he turned around. Zhuang Tianya chuckled. Remember how you used to love pork trotters? Have you changed?


    No, Xu Baohan said calmly. But Im not buying pork trotters today. My girlfriend doesnt like them.


    Zhuang Tianyas body stiffened. There seemed to be something in her mind. Her organs were throbbing in pain, but she couldnt control the smile on her face. You found a girlfriend?


    Yes, Xu Baohan said. Ill stop talking, Im going to go buy groceries.


    Zhuang Tianya watched as he pushed the shopping cart towards the direction of the meat. She bit her lips hard, her eyes nk.


    She just couldnt understand why she had lost this person.


    It wasnt a coincidence that she was here today. Recently, she had been frequenting the supermarket, thinking about how she used toe shopping with him. She had been walking and walking, but she hadnt expected to bump into him.


    He did not understand, but the moment she bumped into him, her mind was almost nk.


    He just appeared in front of her, just like that.

 Chapter 1959. Ignored Her

    Chapter 1959. Ignored Her


    He was still as attractive as before, just like the first time she saw him, the moment she fell in love at first sight.


    But he already had a girlfriend, which was normal. After all, he wasnt someone who didnt want to get married, but it was rare for someone like him to have a woman enter his heart.


    Xu Baohan stood at the counter and stared at the fresh beef inside, his mood was indescribably annoyed. He was originally in a good mood, but now he was in a terrible state.


    His mind was filled with thoughts about An Lan and Xuan Yuang, and he was also thinking about how he met Zhuang Tianya. He no longer had any feelings for this woman, but his self-esteem was still hurt.


    His mind was elsewhere, and the woman selling meat across from him handed him arge, wrapped steak.


    He was stunned. Why are you giving me this?


    The woman was also stunned. I asked you if you wanted to buy steak, and you nodded. I asked if you wanted thisrge piece, and you nodded. Youre buying it, right? Ive already cut it for you.


    Xu Baohan could only take it silently, but his mind was gloomy. He didnt know how to cook steak, but An Lan did. He cant possible wait for her toe back and ask her to cook steak, right? She wanted him to prepare the dishes at home.., but she lied to him and was having a good meal with another man, and she was so close to him.


    Thats right. He will not cook. He could be mad at her too. He would express his anger by not cooking.


    After buying the steak, he bought some fresh prawns and vegetables. When he queued up to pay the bill, Zhuang Tianya happened to be there too. However, she didnt know what had happened. She was at a loss and her fair face was red from anxiety, there was a group of people standing in line behind her.


    When she saw Xu Baohan walking over, she looked as though she had seen her savior. Ah Han, can you help me? Can you lend me some money? I left my phone at home and I dont have any cash on me. Ill return it to you when the timees.


    Xu Baohan understood. He also knew that with wechat and Alipay, very few people brought cash nowadays.


    He wasnt a stingy and mean person. He didnt really hate Zhuang Tianya and it didnt matter even if he helped her out because they were acquaintances.


    How much is it?


    Five hundred.


    Xu Baohan handed her five bills and reminded her, Remember to return it to me.


    He had a girlfriend now, there was no reason for him to spend money on his ex-girlfriend.


    Okay, Zhuang Tianya quickly went to pay the bill.


    After paying, Xu Baohan saw that Zhuang Tianya was standing outside. There were four bags of things beside her, rice, oil, toilet paper, some vegetables and fruit snacks. There were quite a lot of things.


    Baohan, is your wechat still the same number as before? Ill transfer the money to you when the timees, Zhuang Tianya said.


    Okay.


    Xu Baohan frowned at the mention of wechat. He remembered that she was the one who deleted him from her contact in the past.


    Im sorry, I didnt mean to delete your number in the past, Zhuang Tianya said bitterly. It was my mother who took my phone and secretly deleted you.


    Its all in the past, Xu Baohan said as he took his things and left.


    It was the same path to the parking lot. Zhuang Tianya struggled to carry some things as she walked behind them. After walking for a while, she took a breather.


    He frowned and looked at her. He hesitated whether he should help her or not, but after thinking about it, it was all in the past. He did not want to be misunderstood, and he really did not want to have anything to do with her, so he walked away without looking back.


    Zhuang Tianya watched him drive away from her, and she was stunned for a long time.


    In the past, when the two of them went shopping, he would never let her carry things, but now seeing her like this, he did not even care.


    Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

 Chapter 1960. When Youre with Me, You Will Starve; When Youre with Xuan Yuanlang, You Wont.

    Chapter 1960. When You''re with Me, You Will Starve; When You''re with Xuan Yuang, You Won''t.


    After she got into the car, she took out her phone and called Song Yitong. Yitong, I bumped into Xu Baohan just now.


    Song Yitong was stunned for a long time. Oh, where did you meet him?


    The supermarket near where he used to live, Zhuang Tianya said with mixed emotions. He said he had a girlfriend. Is that true? Have you heard?


    I heard a while ago. Song Yitong was a little embarrassed. Previously he brought his girlfriend to my dads ce. He was looking for my dad to fight awsuit for his girlfriend. My dad said he was quite nervous about his girlfriend. Tianya, its all in the past. Forget it. You broke up with Tang Zheng. Try another suitor.


    I want to try too, but I cant forget him. When I was with Tang Zheng, I couldnt forget him. I didnt want to break up at all. If it wasnt for saving my dad Zhuang Tianya took a deep breath, Yitong, I want to fight for it. Isnt he not married?


    Song Yitong took a deep breath. Dont be like that. His girlfriend isnt an ordinary person either. She seems to be a pretty goodwyer. Shes also a person who wont suffer any losses. Her reputation online is quite ruthless.


    Who?


    No, I wont tell you. Otherwise, youll get yourself into trouble, Song Yitong said helplessly.


    Its the first time Ive seen awyer and a judge together. Zhuang Tianya smiled bitterly. How can it be suitable?


    Theres no rule saying that they cant be together. At most, theyll have different courts in the future. They should avoid this when they take cases.


    Then if they be husband and wife, they should avoid this and that. If they cant tell each other when were under pressure at work, whats the point? Theyre not suitable at all! Zhuang Tianya said firmly.


    Why are you so stubborn? Song Yitong really didnt know how to persuade her.


    An Lan didnt arrive at Xu Baohans house until seven oclock.


    She opened the door and entered. The living room was brightly lit but the kitchen didnt smell homely. Xu Baohan sat on the sofa in the living room and was watching the news.


    An Lan was a little unhappy. What was the meaning of this? Since she came back, it was fine if he didnt help with the luggage, but he didnte over to wee her. He just sat there motionlessly. However, she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, so she didnt mind it. Is the food ready? Im starving.


    Xu Baohan turned away from the sofa, his calm expression clear. No.


    An Lan was stunned, but what followed was irritation and anger. When they arrived at the airport, all the other colleagues had their families to pick them up. She didnt have any, but that didnt matter. Knowing that he was busy, she didnt ask him to pick up the luggage downstairs. It didnt matter, thinking that he might be busy cooking at home. Now that she hade all the way here and didnt even have any food, who wouldnt be mad? If you dont have any, then forget it. Ill go back to my ce to eat.


    After saying that coldly, she picked up her two suitcases and walked out.


    She was also a proud person. Life was already so tiring, there was no need for her to stay and watch others expressions.


    Are you going back to your ce to eat, or are you going to ask someone else to eat? Xu Baohan suddenly stood up.


    Mind your own business. An Lan held back her anger. If you dont want to do it, then dont. I didnt force you. If you had said it clearly in the beginning, I wouldnt havee to your ce to starve.


    When youre with me, you will starve; when youre with Xuan Yuang, you wont. Xu Baohan walked up to her with a dark expression. You lied to me that you were going shopping, but in reality, you were drinking and eating with Xuan Yuang in a bar, right?


    An Lan raised her head in shock to look at his gloomy expression. She felt a little guilty that she was exposed just like that.


    But how did he know? Who was the informant?

 Chapter 1961. My Rationality Has Been Completely Destroyed by You

    Chapter 1961. My Rationality Has Been Completely Destroyed by You


    How did you know? An Lan quickly calmed down.


    She had lied to him, but she hadnt done anything wrong to him. She was very open-minded.


    Im not the only one who knows, many people know. Xu Baohans handsome face was undisguised, revealing a gloomy expression, You guys are already on the news. It must be interesting to eat while enjoying the Victoria scenery, isnt it more interesting than eating at home with me?


    An Lan blinked, her scalp tingling.


    She took out her phone from her bag, and Xu Baohan handed it to her. Dont look for the news, I have it here.


    He had been reading this since he got home, and now he could memorize the entire news. I hope you can give me a reasonable exnation.


    An Lan looked at it for a while before returning the phone to him. Chief Judge Xu, this is not how criminals are interrogated, and I am not your prisoner.


    Then you can defend yourself. Xu Baohans thin lips were pursed in annoyance. Did you have a good time eating and drinking with Xuan Yuang? Why are youughing so much?


    Do you think I would cry at my client? An Lan asked calmly, He and I werent the only ones going to the bar. There were also other colleagues in thepany. It was also suggested by my colleagues to y in the bar. It was just a coincidence that I bumped into him because he was one of the shareholders of the B2C project. Everyone was staying in the same hotel, so it was normal to bump into him in the bar. Moreover, he happened to be my senior who was studying in the United States. At that time, we were still quite familiar with each other. After bumping into each other, we reminisced about old times. In this photo, he held onto me because I was drunk. He conveniently held onto me, and just like that, I was photographed. The next day, it was about the cooperation. Because I had sessfully negotiated a good project, I was very happy. Couldnt I be happy?


    She was eloquent. She was clearly exining, but she gave off an aggressive vibe.


    Xu Baohan thought to himself, she was indeed awyer, but fortunately, he was a judge, so he wasnt at a loss and couldnt grasp the main point. Then why did you lie to me?


    Because I felt that with your personality, you wouldnt like me to go to a bar, An Lan said honestly. Besides, Im out of town, I dont want you to feel uneasy or let your imagination run wild.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows. Although he believed her exnation, he was still frustrated. But if you lie to me, itll only make my imagination run wild.


    Then I wont lie anymore, An Lan admitted that she was wrong. Is that okay?


    Xu Baohan was stumped by her question.


    He couldnt say that he couldnt, but he still felt ufortable. Maybe it was because the man she was having dinner with was too outstanding. He was also in the finance business like Nian Junting, and also a senior, she seemed to prefer this type of man.


    Your honor, arent you an impartial judge? An Lan satzily on the suitcase, To be honest, youve seen everything in court. Just based on a few photos, youre using me of an affair. How did you handle the case impartially?


    Xu Baohan was angered by her usation andughed. Thats why we have to avoid being rted to each other in court. Because I cant calm down, my rationality has been destroyed by you.


    Then Im honored. An Lan yanked his cor and raised her head to kiss him on the lips.


    Xu Baohans heart skipped a beat and his pupils widened in shock.

 Chapter 1962. SuChapter A Pretentious Man

    Chapter 1962. SuChapter A Pretentious Man


    As a man, he only reacted after being kissed for quite a while.


    But question is, what did she do that for.


    Xu Baohan felt that his brain wasnt functioning, since hisst fall from the stairs.


    But being kissed forcefully by her felt pretty good and he wasnt that angry anymore.


    Xu Baohan quickly turned the table around and held her by her waist.


    An Lans waist was almost broken from his kisses, in the end, she sat on the luggage again.


    The luggage wheels were forced to move by him, it moved faster and faster, Xu Baohan had no choice but to follow the moving direction of the luggage wheels.


    An Lan tried to push him away, but his lips were too tight on hers, just like super glue, in the end, the wheels hit the entrance of the garden and the two of them fell to the ground together with the luggage.


    An Lan fell on the chests, while Xu Baohan fell on An Lan.


    The two of them stared at each other, hot lips vs red and swollen lips.


    After almost ten seconds of silence, An Lan couldnt help bursting intoughter when she saw their pathetic state, Chief Judge Xu, isnt it just a kiss, is there a need for you to go to such extend, let go of me earlier and we wouldnt fall like this.


    Xu Baohans eyes were gloomy, he had never been in such a pathetic state before, both of them fell just for a kiss.


    However, at this moment when he saw herughter, his pent-up anger seemed to have dissipated.


    It turned out that being forced to kiss wasnt a bad feeling.


    Ms An, you were the one who forced a kiss on me suddenly, right? If it wasnt for your actions, would I have fallen? Xu Baohan threw back the question.


    An Lan pursed her lips, such a pretentious man.


    The two of them were still lying on the luggage, she reached out to pinch his sharp and sexy chin, When I saw the usually calm Chief Judge Xu lose control over me, I couldnt help but feel proud, at the same time, I seem to have like you more.


    Xu Baohan initially thought that her current behavior was rather frivolous, but when he heard her words, his heart thumped, and he felt as though he had taken honey. Then what Xuanyuan Lang?


    Come one, I dont like him at all An Lan rolled her eyes, Hes my client. Im filled with passion for every single one of my clients, the kind of passion for money, do you understand?


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    He couldntment any further by her words. Its not good to use the word passion, the description in Chinese for passion is deeply in love.


    Thats right, my love for money is truly deep. An Lan nodded.


    What about me? Xu Baohan took a deep breath and asked. Between money and me, who do you love more?


    An Lan frowned, Is there a need for such a question? If I loved money more, I wouldnt have chosen you, I would choose to sleep with money, In my job, I always know where my bottom line is. I wouldnt sell my body for a penny, dont you understand me?


    I understand. Xu Baohan reached out and pulled her into his arms. But didnt I have a concussion a while ago? I fell and broke it.


    An Lan was speechless.


    She pushed him away with a smile. If your brain is broken, why would I want you?


    An Lan, Xu Baohan gritted his teeth, cant she just please him a bit more, Men also need to be coaxed, My colleagues in the department were discussing, from the womens point of view, Xuanyuan Lang is handsome, capable, rich, and well-educated. hes also your senior. From my point of view, hes in the finance business and has the same status as Nian Junting, youve had a crush on Nian Junting before, so logically speaking, its very likely that youll like him too.

 Chapter 1963. Just Like That, Forever.

    Chapter 1963. Just Like That, Forever.


    An Lan blinked and nodded after a while, That makes sense, I suddenly feel that Xuanyuan Lang and Mr Nian are indeed quite alike, furthermore, Xuanyuan Lang isnt as mean, venomous, and narcissistic as Mr Nian, he is simply a good man without any ws


    Shut up. Xu Baohan couldnt take it anymore and bit her lips with vengeance.


    She hit him as she was in pain.


    Xu Baohan grunted and looked angry.


    Im just joking, An Lan hugged his neck, Theres no logic to love, so your logically speaking doesnt make sense, just like you, how annoying you were when we first met, youre iprehensible, not romantic, narrow-minded and stingy, but didnt I fall in love with you? In this world, its not about whos perfect, whos rich, and whos better educated that would get others to like you. I just like you, your attitude towards thew, your attitude towards life, your cold exterior but your heart is gentle and kind.


    The womans gentle voice was Sultry and bewitching, it made Xu Baohans originally cold face blushed all the way to his ears.


    I dont have a gentle and kind heart, he said with mixed feelings.


    He was used to others calling him cold-blooded and heartless, and this was the first time he was being praised as kind. He felt strange and wasnt used to it.


    Im telling the truth.


    An Lan said seriously, Although I scolded you in the past, that was because I didnt understand you, thest time in court, you risked your life to save others, you said you were afraid of being implicated, but I knew that in your heart, you sympathize with Zhao Gui for losing his son, even if you fell


    You didnt think of pursuing them, you were cautious and serious about thew, as you didnt want to hurt the people in court, due to your subjective views and emotions. If you do everything ording to your heart, then as a Judge, it would be easy for awyer or prosecutor to sway your emotions, that would be unfair to both the client and the defendant, to put it bluntly, you are kindhearted, its just that others dont understand you.


    An Lan Xu Baohans gaze was fixed on her, his frozen heart that had always been shown to others seemed to be torn apart by her easily, revealing the bright red heart inside.


    No one had ever said anything about him as she did before, not even his parents and the people closest to him.


    His parents had even pointed at his nose and scolded him for being cold-blooded and heartless.


    However, those who understood him were those who stood in opposition to him in court.


    Stop it, I understand you. An Lan covered his thin lips.


    Xu Baohan stared at her deeply for a while, then gently removed her hand and forcefully, with a hint of madness, pressed against her lips.


    In the past, in the dead of night, it wasnt that he had never felt lonely, even when he was dating her. But now, he realized that she had truly walked into his life.


    He wanted to be with her forever, he wanted to give her all that he had.


    Just like that, forever.


    He carried her from the luggage with both arms and ced her on the sofa.


    An Lan couldnt breathe after being kissed by him, for the first time, she felt his kissing was so hard, so eager, so excited, and so intense.


    It was to the extent that she felt that tonight, she would truly belong to him.


    However, after some time, her stomach kept growling with hunger, after a few more times, Xu Baohan suddenly realized, his warm lips rubbing against the tip of her nose. Hungry?


    An Lan was speechless.


    Isnt that obvious? she was about to die of hunger.

 Chapter 1964

    Chapter 1964


    If you dont cook, I might not be with you anymore.


    The two of them stared at each other, and An Lan suddenly said, Because Im going to starve to death very soon.


    You didnt eat the meal on board? Xu Baohan thought sullenly. he was very hungry too, it was just that they are hungry in different aspects.


    The meal on board was too disgusting, so I didnt take it, An Lan said angrily.I thought I would return home with hot food and soup ready, I didnt expect


    Xu Baohan suddenly regretted it, he was wrong, he shouldnt have been angry and not cooked when he hadnt figured out the truth.


    He could have chosen other ways to protest, why would he choose such a boring and childish act by not cooking.


    Even if they wanted to quarrel, he should have fed her before that.


    Im sorry, Ill go cook right away. Xu Baohan stood up in a fluster. Eat some fruits to fill your stomach first, dont move, Ill unpack the luggageter.


    An Lan flipped open the stic bag on the table and raised her eyes arrogantly. What do you mean, you havent washed the grapes, how am I supposed to eat them?


    Ill wash them now. Xu Baohan carried the grapes to the kitchen without another word.


    As he washed, he suddenly realized that this wasnt entirely his fault, but why did it seem as though he was the one who was being unreasonable previously.


    It was wrong of her to lie to him, but now she was arrogant.


    But as he thought about the kiss and the words she said earlier, he couldnt be bothered anymore.


    Forget it, women were meant to be pampered.


    Since he didnt know how to fry a steak, he had no choice but to stir-fry beef and vegetables and it took him half an hour.


    An Lan looked at the two dishes on the table and felt wronged. I told you to prepare some simple meal over the phone, but in the end, you really prepared such a simple meal, youre so practical.


    Such tant sarcasm.


    Xu Baohan was also embarrassed, actually before he got angry, he had intended to bring all the best food in the supermarket home, butter, he was distracted and ran into Zhuang Tianya, so he didnt buy as many foods as he nned, After reading your news, I wasnt in a good mood, so I didnt prepare much, but I bought shrimps. I was afraid that you might wait too long, so I just casually fried some dishes, how aboutI go and fry the shrimps?


    An Lan nced at himzily.


    Xu Baohan reminded her seriously, An Lan, should I remind you who was wrong in the beginning.


    An Lan said righteously, I already confessed to you emotionally, do you still want to bother about such little details? Ive never praised a man like that before.


    Xu Baohan raised his hand to surrender. Fine, I was wrong.


    If you dont think that youre wrong, then dont admit your mistake, An Lan said bluntly. Tell me, what have you done wrong?


    Xu Baohan was speechless


    This woman was definitely the type who would put up an act.


    However, at that moment, Xu Baohan felt that even if she were to p him in the face, he wouldnt be able to get angry, My mistake was even if Im angry, I should have cooked and fed you well before we quarrel, otherwise, you might be starving when arguing with me, then that would be my fault. Besides, I should have trusted you a little more, is that okay?


    Thats okay, An Lan nodded.


    Xu Baohan smiled and picked up some food for her. Actually, this isnt just a simple meal, look at the beef that is good to make a steak, do you know how expensive beef is nowadays?


    An Lan thought about it. Thest time I bought beef, it was 280 for 400 grams.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.

 Chapter 1965. I Dont Want To Be Your Livestock

    Chapter 1965. I Don''t Want To Be Your Livestock


    An Lan held his hand suddenly and said seriously, Baohan, I realized that I was wrong, this is definitely not some simple meal, this is a delicacy.


    Xu Baohan took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and reminded her, Im sorry, Ms An, this is the 50 dors per kilo ordinary beef that I bought from the supermarket, its not the imported beef that you usually eat.


    An Lan was speechless.


    Eat some more, youll find that the local beef is sweeter, Xu Baohan said gently. Ms An, we need to be patriotic, now that the trade war is so intense, dont increase the GDP of other countries when ites to food, our country is so big, we can be self-sufficient in food.


    what you said makes sense. Im deeply ashamed. An Lan nodded with a serious look, So its our countrys beef, no wonder it smells so good even before I eat it, I think I can take two big bowls of rice with it.


    It smells good because Im a good cook, Xu Bohan reminded her kindly.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at him. not long after, theyughed at the same time, all the unhappiness from before hadpletely gone with the wind.


    After dinner, An Lan went to take a shower, she had been on the road in the afternoon and was worn out, all she wanted to do now was to change into her pajamas and lie downfortably.


    Xu Baohan helped her unpack her luggage, she had bought quite a lot of things in Hong Kong this time. there were a few bags, cosmetics, a few nes, a few mens wallets, neckties, and a pair of Chopard watches for couples.


    An Lan came out of the shower, in the bedroom, Xu Baohan had already ced a few things neatly on the bedside table, the two couple watches, a wallet, and three neckties.


    These are all for me, right? Xu Baohan looked at her with a gaze that said, If they werent for me, youd be finished..


    An Lan pursed her lips speechlessly, she walked over and said, These couple watches are for the two of us, this wallet is yours, and the neckties are for my male colleagues in thew firm.


    Xu Baohan frowned in displeasure, Couldnt those mens wallets be given to your colleagues?


    One of them is for Li Yuchen, and the other one is for Ms Mas hubby but I dont intend to collect money from her, so is a gift, An Lan exined word by word, Are you satisfied, Chief Judge Xu?


    Im not satisfied, Xu Baohan shook his head and said directly. Why did you give your colleagues such personal items like a tie? The tie is tied around the neck, isnt that means to tie someone else? You should be giving them to me.


    An Lan rolled her eyes silently, she had asked him what he wanted, and he said anything, and now when she was back, he wanted everything, Youre right, Im just tying up my colleagues, trapping them like cows, exploiting them, squeeze them dry and they have noints until I used up all their remaining value, this is the ultimate mystery of the ties.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    He waspletely convinced by her exnation. From now on dont give me a tie, I dont want to be your livestock.


    Her ultimate mystery was too terrifying.


    So, Ill give you a watch. An Lan smiled as she took out the mans watch and put it on him. Ill make every second of your life belong to me.


    Xu Baohans breathing stopped slightly as he stared at the new watch on his wrist, it was his first time realizing that the meaning behind gifting a watch could be so profound, he took a deep breath to calm himself, An Lan, I cant belong to you every second, half of my time belongs to the court.

 Chapter 1966. An Lan, Have You Ever Thought About How I Feel

    Chapter 1966. An Lan, Have You Ever Thought About How I Feel


    An Lan sighed helplessly.


    Sometimes, his words were sweet, but at times he was such a spoilsport.


    Judge Xu, dont you know that sometimes you shouldnt be so direct with your words? An Lan couldnt help reminding him. Women could be deceived appropriately.


    I dont lie to women. Xu Baohan shook his head. But I like the watch you gave me, very much.


    An Lan was helpless against him, so she could only touch his cheek. d that you like it.


    Just as she was about to leave, Xu Baohan suddenly grabbed her wrist. The fragrance on you tonight Ive never smelled it before.


    Oh, I bought a new body moisturizer in Hong Kong, An Lan said with a smile. Its abination of grapefruit and jasmine, does it smell good?


    She had just showered and her face was flushed, along with the fragrance on her, Xu Baohans body tensed up and even his voice sounded tense and helpless. An Lan, have you ever thought about how I feel?


    Huh? An Lan was baffled.


    Xu Baohan narrowed his deep eyes. Are you implying that you havent tortured me enough this evening?


    An Lan was speechless.


    Her cheeks were burning as she thought about it. Um that is this body moisturizer smelled that good?


    What do you think? Xu Baohans gaze was like that of a wolf. Not only it is good, but its also so good that I want to keep you in my arms forever.


    An Lan blushed. I didnt mean anything, its winter now, and I only applied it as my skin is too dry.


    Xu Baohan grumbled, Dont you know how to apply DaBao? DaBao doesnt smell so good, and it also moisturizes your skin. No, even if you applied DaBao and you would still smell good.


    An Lans mouth twitched, this was the first time she had heard a man asking her to apply DaBao. Im sorry, DaBao is usually used by my fathers generation, why dont you use it too?


    Xu Baohan opened his mouth and fell silent.


    An Lan rubbed her forehead, Do you know how precious is a womans skin, especially at my age? If it wasnt for the huge amount of money I spent on it, would I have such delicate skin? Furthermore, the fragrance emitted by a mature woman should be mysterious and alluring, do you think the DaBao fragrance on me is mysterious?


    Dont be so agitated. Xu Baohans exquisite chin pressed on her shoulder, I mainly feel that your body fragrance is already quite pleasant, if you apply something else, Im afraid I wouldnt be able to resist it at night. Even if you used DaBao, I couldnt resist it, not to mention the mysterious and alluring fragrance, right?


    An Lans body stiffened, his scent enveloped her, reminding her of his excited and crazy emotions on the sofa earlier, her heart couldnt help beating faster.


    After a while, she held her breath and said, You didnt take a shower today, right?


    Xu Baohans pupils constricted, was she inviting him?


    I think you can use my body moisturizer as well, itll keep you hydrated. An Lan rubbed his head, Summer is here, you have to be careful not to get too dry, after all, its up to you in the past as youre alone, but now you have a girlfriend.


    Xu Baohan is speechless.


    His lips twitched stiffly,  An Lan, can you not spoil the mood?


    same here, An Lan braced herself and said.


    Xu Baohan pursed his sharp lips in silence.


    An Lan was silent for a while before speaking softly, Even no matter what we have to both wash, right?

 Chapter 1967. This Is My Home Ground, I Have The Final Say

    Chapter 1967. This Is My Home Ground, I Have The Final Say


    Xu Baohans body trembled.


    He lowered his head, his deep pupils staring at her with uncertainty. Youre willing to marry me?


    An Lan was speechless.


    She rolled her eyes and said, Since when did I agree to marry you?


    Please, when you say something like this, do ask yourself if youve ever proposed.


    If youre willing to be with me it should mean that youre willing to marry me, Xu Baohan said tactfully.


    Enough, I didnt say anything earlier. An Lan wanted to hammer his head, was this something a man should say? Lets wait until after we got married


    Ms An, how can you take back what you said before the Judge? Xu Baohans heart skipped a beat and he quickly interrupted her, although he wasnt thinking about it all the time, since she had already hinted to him, he couldnt control his emotions now.


    An Lan couldnt helpughing. Is this a court?


    This is my home ground, I have the final say. Xu Baohan lowered his head and pecked her lips rudely.


    An Lan scoffed, who would have thought that he would be so shameless and hical.


    Im going to take a shower. Xu Baohan let go of her and stood up, Youre right, now that I have a girlfriend, I need to take care of moisturizing myself.


    After that, he grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom.


    An Lan rubbed her head, why did she agree to it just now? Ah, ah, ah, right, what did she wear inside today? Was it sexy?


    Also, the two of them didnt make any preparation.


    This wouldnt do, she should ask him to go to the storeter, as a woman, she couldnt go.


    So nervous.


    An Lan paced back and forth in her room, she was more nervous now than when she was doing a big business deal.


    At this moment, Xu Baohans phone on the bed beeped.


    She walked over to take a look, she didnt have the habit of looking at a mans phone, and with their working rtionship, they had to have some privacy. However, she had been away for so many days, so there would be times when a woman would feel uneasy and let her imagination ran wild, it was just that she usually wouldnt express it.


    She didnt see the content of the text message, but she saw that the sender was a person named Zhuang Tianya.


    This name belonged to a woman. An Lan picked up his phone and key in the password, a text message popped up: Ah Han, I added you on WeChat, add me, I have to return you the money from the supermarket today.


    An Lan looked at the message and concluded three sensitive words: Ah Han, supermarket, money.


    As awyer, sometimes she was even more sensitive than the police, An Lan could conclude that this woman must have been someone Xu Baohan was very familiar with, after all, she called him Ah Han, if she didnt add him on WeChat, she might have deleted him earlier, what kind of familiar person would delete WeChat contacts? That should be an ex-girlfriend where they broke off earlier, the two of them even went to the supermarket together today, Xu Baohan even paid for the other party, the reason for footing the bill earlier might be because he took the initiative, it might also be the other party didnt bring sufficient money.


    An Lan sneered, why was she so smart.


    Sometimes, there was nothing wrong with a woman being a little stupid.


    Sure, he was impressive.


    He would calcte the spending with her one by one, and he was so busy every day, but he could find time to go to the supermarket with other women, and she could call him Ah Han.


    How Nice.


    An Lan opened WeChat app, the name of the woman who added Xu Baohan was If, what a meaningful ount name, If what, if everything could start all over again, if we didnt break up?

 Chapter 1968. Baohan Went To Take A Shower, Im His Girlfriend

    Chapter 1968. Baohan Went To Take A Shower, I''m His Girlfriend


    An Lan felt disgusted.


    This person had better not be his ex-girlfriend, otherwise, she would feel disgusted by this green tea bitch.


    However, she kept calling him Ah Han, if she wasnt a rtive of his family, then she could have some ulterior motives.


    An Lan thought for a while, then agreed and added her.


    Not long after, she sent a WeChat message: Ah Han, its a good thing I met you today, otherwise, I would be very embarrassed today.


    An Lan understood, it seemed like the two of them didnt n to go to the supermarket together, they just met there by chance.


    She smiled coldly and replied, Im sorry, Bohan went to take a shower, Im his girlfriend..


    After sending the message, there was no reply from the other end.


    The sound of water sshing in the bathroom had stopped, it seemed like Xu Baohan was almost done with his shower.


    An Lan switched his phone to silent mode.


    About two minutester, Zhuang Tianya replied, Sorry, I thought it was Ah Han, Im a former friend of his.


    An Lan replied, I guessed it, from the way you addressed him in such intimate terms, didnt you say you wanted to return the money? How much, just send it over on WeChat, Ill tell him..


    Very quickly, Zhuang Tianya sent 500 dors over.


    An Lan was not in a hurry to receive it, instead, she asked, Did he lend you 500 dors today?.


    Zhuang Tianya: Yes..


    An Lan: What about the interest?.


    Zhuang Tianya: .


    An Lan: Hoho, even if youre a friend, you still have to pay interest, right? Anyway, I usually charge a 10% service fee when I get someone to pay for my purchases, since youre his former friend, Ill charge you 8% .


    Zhuang Tianya: Does Ah Han know about the service fee.


    An LAN: Im in charge of his money. I have the final say.


    Zhuang Tianya: 8% is just a small amount, I can give it to him, but with Ah Hans personality, he probably wont take it, I think you might have a misunderstanding about me


    An LAN: I think youre thinking too much, I just love money, Im a person who values money above all else.


    An Lan was so annoyed in doing the messaging, this woman was really a chatterbox, didnt she understand the meaning of collecting interest..


    Just then, Xu Baohan came out of the shower, he was initially excited and nervous, but when he saw her holding his phone, he was stunned.


    An Lan, my phone What are you looking at? Xu Baohan walked over to take a look.


    An Lan put his phone away and raised her eyebrows, Im your girlfriend, cant I look at your phone, or were there some secrets in it?


    Xu Baohan frowned and sat on the bed, exining helplessly, I have a lot of court documents on my phone, with our working rtionship, its not suitable for us to look at each others phones.


    An Lan was already in a bad mood, hearing his words was like lighting a fire. Do you think I dont even have this bit of professional ethics?


    I Xu Baohan opened his mouth, finally, his handsome face showed a hint of embarrassment,  An Lan, Ill be honest. I trust you, but trust between anyone in this world cannot be 100%; as a judge, some documents cannot even have the probability of 0.01 error, we could put ourselves in each others shoes.


    An Lan was silent, she was also a little self-deprecating and amused, yes, no one in this world could trust anyone 100%.


    So I dont even have the right to look at your phone, right? An Lan raised her head and asked. Sometimes women look at her partners phone just to see if men are flirting behind their backs, there are a lot of clues in the phone.

 Chapter 1969. Are You Forcing Me To Call You Hanhan

    Chapter 1969. Are You Forcing Me To Call You Hanhan


    Xu Baohanughed. I wont do such a thing, you should trust me.


    An Lan chuckled. You just said that no one can trust each other 100%.


    Xu Baohan was speechless,


    She really knew how to take revenge. Then were you looking at my WeChat? Did you discover anything?


    I did. An Lan picked up his phone and tossed it to him. A woman named Zhuang Tianya wanted to add you, so I chatted with her for a while.


    The smile on Xu Baohans handsome face froze.


    She even chatted with Zhuang Tianya?


    What did they chat about?


    However, he was honest in his heart and had never done anything to let her down, as long as Zhuang Tianya didnt spout nonsense, it would be fine.


    After thinking it through, Xu Baohans stiff expression gradually returned to normal. Oh, an unimportant woman, what did you talk to her about?


    About money, An Lan said with a smile. She said that you lent her 500 dors today and I asked her to repay the interest.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    Even 500 dors was subject to interest.


    Whats Wrong? An Lan moved her face closer to him, her beautiful face was obviously smiling, but it was filled with killing intent. Do you think I did something wrong?


    No. Xu Baohan shook his head and gave her a thumbs up. You did the right thing, as expected of the woman I like, shes so good at earning money.


    But she seemed to be unwilling to give me the interest. An Lan ced his phone into his palm, She said with your personality you wouldnt take, she seemed to know you very well, whats your rtionship? Her name is in the phone book, but shes not in WeChat, she even calls you Ah Han. I didnt even call you Ah Han, right? Is she forcing me to call you Hanhan?


    She had said so much in one breath, and even as a judge, Xu Baohan was cornered and broke out in cold sweat.


    When he came out of the shower, he was still very excited, but now, he couldnt get excited at all, he even had the illusion that danger was approaching.


    However, he knew that if he confessed, she would be lenient, but if he resisted, she would be strict. He kept silent for a moment then he immediately confessed, An Lan, shes my ex-girlfriend, you knew how we broke up, she deleted me from WeChat not long after


    Oh, so it was someone else who deleted you, An Lan sneered, Even after you broke up, you still left her contact in your WeChat, are you reluctant to part with her? Also, its been so long, and you still have her number. You should know that Ive already deleted my ex-boyfriends number donkey years ago.


    Xu Baohan smiled bitterly, he was about to raise his hand and swear, Sometimes, I didnt delete it not because of reluctance, its just because Im toozy to delete it. There are hundreds of numbers in my phone book. I havent contacted any of them, but I havent deleted them either. I dont have the habit of deleting them.


    So if she hadnt deleted your WeChat back then, you wouldnt have deleted it, right? An Lan asked.


    Xu Baohan was silent for a moment before replying cautiously, I no longer take it to heart so I couldnt be bothered.


    An Lan nodded. Yes, because she took it to heart and she had bothered about all this and she deleted you.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    In the past, he had heard others say that women were the most unreasonable creatures in the world, he didnt believe it, but now he did.


    An Lan, I think youre thinking too much. Xu Baohan spread his hands. Its been so many years, everyone has their own lives, my current life is to be with you.

 Chapter 1970. Hanhan, Go Sleep On The Sofa

    Chapter 1970. Hanhan, Go Sleep On The Sofa


    An Lan nced at him with an uh-huh.


    Xu Baohan felt a little wronged. I did run into her today, but I didnt do anything to let you down, if I did, Ill admit it, but if I didnt, then youre being unfair to me, after all, Ive never hide anything from you about my ex-girlfriend.


    Why didnt you hide it?An Lan fiddled with her phone. Firstly, you didnt tell me you met her, secondly, you didnt report to me before you lent her the money.


    Xu Baohan blinked, this waspletely unreasonable.


    An Lan patted his chest. Didnt you tell me to swipe your card and use your Alipay, then this meant we are sharing, without my consent, youre basically lending my money to someone else.


    What you said makes a lot of sense. Xu Baohan forced himself to admit it. I will call you in advance next time, if you dont approve, then I wont do the lending.


    Is there a next time? An Lan smiled faintly.


    Im talking about my colleagues borrowing money from me. Xu Baohan struggled weakly. An Lan, lets not dwell on this, alright? Theres no need, she didnt have her phone with her today, after all, weve known each other for quite a while.


    What a coincidence, she didnt have her phone with her, she must be looking for an opportunity to borrow money from you so she can add you on WeChat. An Lan couldnt help being sarcastic, the truths were out, this woman definitely had ulterior motives.


    Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his brows. An Lan, I understand that youre jealous, but you have to be reasonable when youre jealous, after all, youre awyer.


    Are you saying that I framed her? An Lan saw that he was actually speaking up for that woman, and the anger that was about to extinguish suddenly red up.


    I think youre thinking too much. Xu Baohan hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth. Women like to rely on their phones, you dont even take any money with you, didnt you go out a few times without your phone and not have a single cent on you?


    An Lan slowly sat up from the bed.


    Xu Baohan stared at her beautiful face that didnt smile, his heart pounding. Whats wrong?


    Nothing, just sleep on the sofa tonight. An Lan smiled as she handed him a pillow. Even though this is your home, if youre not willing, Ill take the cab back myself.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    He felt as though a bucket of cold water just poured over his head. An Lan, we have to analyze this case rationally, we cant be subjective, this isnt cool-headed, I wont lend others money next time.


    This is no longer a matter of borrowing money. An Lan ced the pillow in his hand and patted the back of his hand. Hanhan, go sleep on the sofa.


    Xu Baohans Goosebumps started to rise, he felt as though his grandmother was calling him since he was young. Dont call me that.


    Then Baobao?


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    An Lan, didnt we say we were going to do that? Xu Baohan was struggling on the brink of death, he couldnt bear to lose the meat that he was about to eat just like that.


    An Lan scoffed in her heart, thinking about that at this moment, sweet dreams.


    She reached out and touched his other empty left hand. Rely on your hands, rely on yourself.


    Xu Baohan was dumbfounded.


    An Lan pulled out a few more tissues for him. Ive already prepared the clean tissues for you, press on.


    The corners of Xu Baohans mouth twitched, as a man, he was shocked beyond words.


    He didnt expect his An Lan to be so dirty-minded.


    ..


    The door was mercilessly shut in front of him.


    Xu Baohan knocked on the door gloomily. Judge An, I want to appeal.

 Chapter 1971. Friendly Reminder: Please Return The Money.

    Chapter 1971. Friendly Reminder: Please Return The Money.


    An Lans voice sounded merciless, If you want to appeal, please go through the proper channel, dont think about using the back door, its useless.


    Xu Baohan helplessly threw the pillow on the sofa in the living room, as they were apart for five days, he thought that he would have a warm embrace, but he didnt expect to be squeezed on the small sofa.


    What had he done wrong, was it his fault for meeting Zhuang Tianya.


    The more he thought about it, the more ufortable he felt, he sent Zhuang Tianya a WeChat message: Im Xu Baohan, please hurry up and return the interest to me.


    Zhuang Tianya sent a dumbfounded emoji: Ah Han, your girlfriend is unhappy, right? Alright, Ill return it to you, please dont let her misunderstood and started arguing with you, after all, its just a small matter.


    Xu Baohan thought that it was really a small matter, but in the end, he didnt even have the right to sleep on the bed. If youve returned the money, then please delete my contact, were already in the past, theres no need to leave any contact between us.


    Zhuang Tianya: Did I cause you trouble, or did you still hate me, Im sorry, I owe you an apology.


    Xu Baohan had a headache, friendly reminder: Please return the money.


    He reminded her again and again, Zhuang Tianya had no choice but to send the interest over, Xu Baohan epted it and replied: I couldnt be bothered about what happened in the past, I just dont want my girlfriend to misunderstand, Goodbye..


    After that, he deleted her contact.


    Sleeping on the sofa didnt feel good, even though the sofa was long, it was still hard to sleep


    He tossed and turned for a while before finally falling asleep. When he woke up the next day, he could still hear footstepsing from inside.


    He opened his eyes, and An Lan was already in front of him, his mind was in a daze for a moment before he sat up abruptly, An Lan, I got the interest and the amount, and I even deleted her contact.


    After saying that, he quickly took a screenshot of his phone and showed it to her.


    An Lan nced at the screen, even now, he still didnt know why she was angry?


    She smiled and bent down to pick up the napkin on the table. Han Han, didnt you use the napkin yesterday?


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    It took a long time for him to remember the paper and the way she addressed him. An Lan, enough, please dont call me that, okay?


    No, how could it be? I think the only nickname that was more intimate than Ah Han would be Han Han. An Lan sighed. I cant call you Ah Han, after all, thats how your ex-girlfriend called you.


    Xu Baohan had a headache, sometimes, he really didnt understand women. An Lan, Ill go make you breakfast.


    Go ahead, Han Han.


    Xu Baohans calf bumped into the coffee table, he tried his best to suppress his heartbeat, he must get used to it.


    They had noodles in the morning, in order to make An Lan happy, he put a lot of thought into making this bowl of noodles, there was meat, egg, vegetables and ham.


    An Lan had good breakfast in Hong Kong recently, but it didnt taste like Xia Citys breakfast, she was satisfied with this bowl of noodles, but as she was still unhappy overst nights incident, she didnt feel good.


    An Lan, I used the wallet you gave me.Xu Baohan changed into a ck sweater and trousers and posed in front of her, You have good taste, the color of the wallet is very good and the style is very good, look, it can hold a lot of cards and money. Its really good, very good


    An Lans mouth twitched, after finishing thest mouthful of noodles, she looked at the guy who was trying to start a conversation.


    An Lan, lets go on a date tonight. Xu Baohans hand moved over the table and held her hand. Lets go to a movie together.


    No, An Lan retracted her hand. Im going rock climbing tonight.


    Xu Baohan was stunned, he knew about indoor rock climbing. Why havent I seen you do rock climbing before?

 Chapter 1972. Your Ms An Is Really Jealous

    Chapter 1972. Your Ms An Is Really Jealous


    Because I have to go on a date previously, An Lan exined with a smile.


    Xu Baohan was speechless, does it mean that they cant go on a date now.


    No, he wasnt an idiot, he could tell that An Lan was still unhappy.


    He didnt understand why she was unhappy, he didnt do anything wrong, he even slept on the sofa.


    Rock climbing is pretty good, Ive never done it before, Xu Baohan said. Ill go with you.


    Even if you go with me, I wont climb with you. An Lan stood up. The ce were climbing today is a little difficult, its not suitable for beginners, if you want to learn rock climbing, youll have to start from the beginner level.


    After that, she turned and headed to the kitchen.


    ..


    The court.


    At noon, after the conference ended, everyone gathered in the cafeteria for lunch.


    A few dishes were served, Judge Zhao sighed and said, I have to work overtime again tonight, I had promised to go back early to watch a movie with my daughter, but I stood her up again when I go back this evening, Ill have to coax her again, is just too busy being a judge.


    Thats how it is sometimes. no other choice, judge Dai said. Im an executive judge, sometimes, I have to go to the countryside in the middle of the night to carry out missions. Fortunately, my wife was very understanding, but I just feel bad.


    Everyone was talking, their gazes gradually fell on Xu Baohan, who had been eating silently.


    Oh right, Baohan, you worked so much overtime every day and havent been with your girlfriend, didnt she say anything? Judge Zhao said earnestly, We must grasp both work and love, and resolutely get rid of the issue of being single, keep a close eye on her, dont let other men take advantage of her.


    Secretary Huang, who was by the side, suddenly gossiped, Thest time I saw the news, it was about Ms An and


    She was discussing work, Xu Baohan interrupted coldly and finally said, She exined to me that she wasnt alone at the bar that day, it was the reporters who deliberately made up stories.


    Oh, secretary Huang said with a look of realization, But I saw that you usually eat in the office so that you can get off work early, to spend time with your girlfriend


    Everyone came to a sudden realization, Xu Baohan had been acting weird recently, and he always kept a cold face and didnt say anything.


    Judge Zhao patted his shoulder. Baohan, were all colleagues, if theres anything youre ufortable with, you can tell us asionally. Dont keep everything to yourself, after all, in terms of rtionships, youre not as experienced as us old foxes.


    Yes, yes. Everyone nodded.


    Xu Baohan held his chopsticks in silence for a while, before finally saying, Were in a cold war, I dont know what shes angry about.


    Thats normal, its always weird for women to be angry, Judge Dai said, Why dont you tell us the whole story, and well help you analyze it.


    Xu Baohan was at his wits end, so he could only briefly exin the whole story.


    After he finished, Mr Zhao looked at him sympathetically. Baohan, this is because your EQ is low, your current girlfriend suspected your ex-girlfriend, just let her say whatever she wants, The other party is already your ex-girlfriend, just agree with her will do.


    Thats right, Secretary Huang sighed. Women can be so unreasonable sometimes, but no matter what she says, as long as you agree with her, whatever you say or do is wrong, but your Ms An is really jealous.


    Thats because she cares, Judge Zhao said with a smile.


    Thats true.

 Chapter 1973. This Time Crush All Of Them

    Chapter 1973. This Time Crush All Of Them


    Xu Baohans initial gloomy mood changed, he couldnt help but lifted the corners of his lips, he didnt feel it before, but now he realized that the womans unreasonable jealousy meant that she cared about him a lot.


    Then Ms An was angry these few days, did you show any reaction? Judge Dai said. Send flowers, gifts, and so on.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    Everyone looked at him and shook their heads helplessly, judge Dai clicked his tongue. Shes angry, and you didnt do anything to pacify her, are you waiting for her to put down her pride ande to you? Or do you think that as long as you have the cheek to approach her every day, she will forgive you? Do you want her to pass over you?


    Xu Baohan was drenched in a cold sweat, he pinched his chopsticks for a while before he stood up abruptly. Im full.


    Everyoneughed softly behind him. Our Judge Xus EQ is really low.


    Thats right, he doesnt understand the situation when hes trying to reason with women.


    ..


    At three in the afternoon, An Lan returned from outside, Yan Wen came over with a bouquet of beautiful flowers, Ms An, look, that Tang Zheng sent flowers again, but this time, he changed the flowers


    An Lan nced at the flowers. There were all sorts of roses, lilies and tulips. Lets deal with them as before.


    She was furious when she saw someone rted to Xu Baohans ex-girlfriend, was this Tang Zheng sick? His woman broke up with him and he came pestering her.


    She thought for a moment, then turned in frustration. Wait, this time, crush them, dont let me see you put the flowers in the vase again.


    With that, she mmed the office door.


    She turned on herputer, and not long after, her phone rang, it was Xu Baohan.


    She got angry for no reason when she saw his phone call, didnt he notice how angry she was these few days? He didnt even show any expression and didnt know how to coax her. All he did was send WeChat messages asking if she had eaten, if she didnt eat, would she starve to death.


    She bluntly hung up the phone.


    Actually, it was just a small matter, there was no need to make a big fuss out of it, but his subsequent performance was just too bad.


    Since she wasnt going on a date and wasnt very busy, she decided to stay in the office and work overtime.


    Just as she was reading the documents seriously, she heard a knock on the main door of thew firm outside.


    It was quite scary at night, after all, the security guards had already gotten off work, she was just afraid that some of her previous clients woulde and cause trouble,


    she walked to the door and peered through the peephole, a tall figure stood outside, from his face, it was Xu Baohan.


    She pulled the door open in annoyance, in the corridor, Xu Baohan was tall and slender, he was holding some paper bags in his hands, a faint smile on his handsome face.


    An Lan, I heard from Mr Li that you got overtime tonight and I bought some desserts for you. Xu Baohan was a little uncertain, why was her expression getting worse.


    Oh,e in. An Lan turned and walked into the office.


    Xu Baohan followed. Did you receive the flowers I sent you today?


    An Lan turned and looked at him in confusion. When did you send flowers?


    Xu Baohan was stunned. This afternoon, I asked the flower shop to send a bouquet, I even wrote an apology on the card, didnt you see it?


    An Lan was speechless.


    She instantly thought of the bouquet that had been crushed and sighed. I thought it was from Tang Zheng and I threw it away. This is all your fault, it was all because of you that Tang Zheng was here.


    Xu Baohan gritted his teeth, he didnt think of it before, but now he wanted to tear Tang Zheng apart.

 Chapter 1974. You Are Sincere And Not Pretentious, She Is Full Of Schemes

    Chapter 1974. You Are Sincere And Not Pretentious, She Is Full Of Schemes


    Its Its my fault for not thinking things through. Xu Baohan swallowed his grievances. The flowers are gone, its fine, I just picked out a ne for you at the mall, I think it suits you.


    He silently took out a brocade box from his bag and opened it, there was a yellow diamond ne inside, the yellow diamond was adorned with a gorgeous diamond-studded buckle, shining brightly under the light.


    An Lan was stunned, just by looking at the design and the diamond, she knew that this ne was not cheap.


    How much is it? An Lan asked without thinking.


    Xu Baohan was stunned, why was it different from what he had expected? Dont worry about how much it is, try It on first


    Who told you to buy this? An Lan furrowed her brows and said gloomily, I just went to Hong Kong and swiped a lot of money from your card, now youre buying this ne, lets calcte how much youve spent this month, didnt you say that you wanted to renovate the house?


    Her words were filled with reproach, but Xu Baohans stunned look gradually turned into a warm smile. An Lan, are you worried that I wont have the money to prepare for our wedding?


    Who said I wanted to marry you? An Lan was embarrassed and stood up angrily, Im just afraid that if If I were to marry you, you wouldnt even have the money to renovate your house and hold a wedding banquet. When that timees, I would have to live in your old house, I dont want to live in an old house, in addition, I have very high expectations for my wedding and we have to go overseas for a holiday, thats all expenses.


    The smile on Xu Baohans face grew wider as he watched her bared her fangs and ws, Dont worry, I have the money for the renovations and the wedding. Thats right, even though Im an office worker, Im not stupid enough to just keep the money in the bank, I have my investments too.


    He took out the ne and put it on her neck as he walked around the desk, trying to curry favor with her, An Lan, I was wrong, youre right. Zhuang Tianya must have wanted to add me to her WeChat contact when she said she didnt bring any money. How can shepare to you? Youre the one with a bad memory sometimes and I shouldnt havepared her to you. Theres no way she can bepared to you.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise, was he so tactful? Oh, tell me, how can I not bepared with her?


    Xu Baohan helped her fasten her ne, then bent down and kissed her on the ear. Youre sincere and not pretentious, shes full of schemes.


    An Lan shrank from his kiss, she tried to calm herself and snort softly. Its not easy, it took you so many days to figure this out.


    Yeah, Im not as smart and intelligent as you, Xu Baohanmented. A judge, huh? I can only close the door and see whats going on in the court, I am short-sighted, not like ourwyer Ms An whos so far-sighted.


    An Lan giggled and rolled her eyes. Why do I feel like youre mocking me?


    Absolutely not. Xu Baohan finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her smile.


    You really think that shes an irrelevant person? An Lan asked. What if shees back to look for you? Nothing is absolute. Look, your ex-girlfriends ex-boyfriend is still pestering me.


    Xu Baohan sighed, sometimes, he was quite annoyed with Zhuang Tianya and Tang Zheng. How about I talk to Zhuang Tianya and ask her to persuade Tang Zheng to stop pestering you?


    How dare you? An Lan red at him, You cannot even have this womans phone number, just let Tang Zheng be, after all, all he does was sending flowers and nothing else, theres nothing bad about getting flowers every day, it purifies the air and I dont have to pay for it, how great would that be? I really hope he could send flowers for the rest of his life.

    Chapter 1975. The Childish And Clumsy Boy


    An Lan was stunned, she took the initiative to hold his hand after a while, Forget it, what you said isnt unreasonable, let bygones be bygones, It doesnt matter whether you and Zhuang Tianya have a rtionship or not, whats important is the future.


    Thinking about it carefully, she got jealous too easilytely.


    At the start of a rtionship, everyone was well aware of the situation, but as time goes by, they became more and more calctive, and they didnt even notice it.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows, slightly disappointed, he had said so much, and she still didnt believe him? It was just that she suddenly felt that it wasnt important anymore. An Lan


    Lets go home.An Lan stood up and winked at him flirtatiously. Should we go buy something? I dont want to get pregnant before marriage.


    Xu Baohan was stunned and didnt react for a while, it wasnt until she lowered her head and quickly packed her things, walked towards the door that he reacted and followed her, holding her burning hand.


    On the way back, Xu Baohan drove faster than usual, he was probably too nervous and almost bumped into someone elses car.


    An Lan grabbed the handrail above her head and reminded him in a muffled voice, Can you drive slower? I wont run away.


    Xu Baohan coughed lightly. I wasnt worried that you would run, its just that the elerator of your car is quite sensitive, it drove away as soon as I stepped on it. The BMW is pretty good.


    Ab Lan was speechless.


    At first, An LAN was quite nervous, but now she didnt know whether she shouldugh or cry with his shameless excuse. Is that so? It doesnt seem like its your first time driving my car.


    Em the elerator is exceptionally sensitive today, Xu Baohan continued to give his shameless excuse as he watched the road ahead.


    I dont think its the elerator that is sensitive, its you who are sensitive. An Lan couldnt help but lean over and blew into his ear.


    The steering wheel in Xu Baohans hand shifted a little, and the car shook as well, his handsome face blushed, An Lan, dont mess around, Im driving.


    His shy look was filled with a sense of abstinence, which made An Lan want to mess around with him, but as they were in the car after all, so she had better tone down a bit.


    On the way, Xu Baohan stopped at the entrance of a convenience store, when he returned, both his coat pockets were bulging.


    An Lan blushed. Why did you buy so many?


    Xu Baohans thin lips lifted. Im confident that Ill use them up anyway, the production date is quite recent.


    An Lan was speechless.


    They returned to An Lans house, once they were in the elevator, he hugged An Lan.


    When the elevator reached the first floor, they met a familiar neighbor, everyone smiled and greeted each other, but Xu Baohan did not let go of her, he looked very possessive, and as soon as the neighbor stepped out, An Lans lips were sealed.


    When she finally entered the password to open the main door, her lips were already red from the kisses.


    Stop fooling around, Im going to take a shower first. Before she could open the door, she hugged his waist and coaxed him softly.


    Together


    This time, Xu Baohan did not give her any chance to refute or resist, he carried her upstairs directly.


    ..


    The evening was a mess, at least Xu Baohan had never felt so messy in his life.


    He was a mature man in his thirties, but at this moment, he was like a childish and clumsy boy.


    Fortunately, he had done quite a bit of homework before, and with his instincts as a man, he quickly found the right direction.


    It was messy at first, but towards the end, it was filled with courageous conquests.


    An Lan, on the other hand, usually looked like a strong woman, but at the crucial moment, she was like a paper tiger, utterly defeated, and could only beg for mercy.


    ..


    The next day, the sun shone through the gaps of the curtains andnded on the dark wooden floor.

    Chapter 1976. Will You Marry Me


    An Lan was stunned, she took the initiative to hold his hand after a while, Forget it, what you said isnt unreasonable, let bygones be bygones, It doesnt matter whether you and Zhuang Tianya have a rtionship or not, whats important is the future.

    This time, Xu Baohan did not give her any chance to refute or resist, he carried her upstairs directly.


    ..


    The next day, the sun shone through the gaps of the curtains andnded on the dark wooden floor.


    An Lan opened her eyes in a daze, sleep was something she enjoyed very much previously, when she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. But today, she felt like she was being run over by a huge truck, there was even a huge stove hidden by the side.


    Even though it was not the first time she woke up and felt his presence, she knew that today was different from the past.


    Her body twisted a little.


    Dont move the mans deep and sexy voice entered her ears.


    An Lans body stiffened, but she dared not move, she turned her head slowly to look at him, his short ck hair was slightly messy, and his sharp and firm facial features were like ice and snow melting, his dark eyes were filled with deep-burning and gentle gaze.


    It wasnt like An Lan hadnt seen such a gazest evening.


    Her heart tightened, and she bit her lower lip, saying rudely, Get up and get to work.


    Xu Baohan lowered his gaze and pinched her nose. I like how you treat me yesterday evening.


    An Lans face blushed, and she kicked his calf.


    Xu Baohan groaned in pain, but An Lan wasnt any better, she let out a whimper, her eyes brimming with tears from the pain.


    Whats wrong? Are You Alright? Xu Baohan didnt bother with her bully anymore and quickly hugged her to coax her. Are my legs too hard?


    An Lan red at him angrily, she really wanted to bite him to death now. My whole body is aching, I think Ill definitely have trouble walking.


    Xu Baohan rarely saw her like this, his heart filled with regret. Im sorry, this is all my fault, Ill be more careful next time.


    Hearing him mention the next time, An Lan was so embarrassed that she wanted to cover herself with the nket.


    Dont go to work today, you can rest at home. I will bring you lunch from the cafeteria. Xu Baohan kissed her forehead. What do you want to eat tonight, tell me, I will cook.


    An Lan sighed gloomily, thinking about how awkward it was for her to ask for leave because of such a matter. Speaking of which, is this really your first time? I doubt it, you are full of lies.


    Xu Baohan panicked. I can swear if you dont believe me, I


    Alright, Im just saying, Ive already said that I would not be bothered about the past, An Lan interrupted him. But I think you are an experienced driver.


    Xu Baohan was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, how could he be called an experienced driver?  An Lan, at first I was confused too, cant you feel it? But in the end, its just an instinct.


    No. An Lan shook her head decisively, she only felt confused.


    Xu Baohan smiled bitterly, he really couldnt clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.


    An Lan, it doesnt matter whether you believe it or not, in any case Im quite happy. Xu Baohan hugged her tightly and rested his chin on her head.  I want to be with you like this forever, for the rest of my life, will you marry me?


    An Lan was speechless.


    There was a strange silence in the air, An Lan lifted her hand from under the nket. Wheres the ring for the proposal?


    No Xu Baohan blinked.


    Wheres the flower?


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    Theres nothing, and you dare to ask me to marry you? An Lan chuckled, if she still had the strength right now, she would kick him under the bed.


    I this isnt an official proposal, Xu Baohan said innocently. If it was an official proposal, I wouldnt be so casual. I just wanted to express how much I want to marry you.


    An Lan said exasperatedly, Then dont casually ask me if I want to marry you.

 Chapter 1977. Are You That Happy To Have LunChapter With Me

    Chapter 1977. Are You That Happy To Have LunChapter With Me


    Because I really wanted to marry you, Xu Baohan said as he hugged her, unable to hide the eagerness in his eyes.


    An Lans heart skipped a beat, at that moment, she really wanted to nod her head in agreement.


    However, she restrained herself and wrapped her arms around his neck, Bohan, I want to marry you too, but were not very calm right now, in the rtionship, we are probably in the most passionate time right now, but what would we be after the passion is over, what I want is not a period of time, but a lifetime.


    Xu Baohan understood what she meant. An Lan, maybe the passion will pass, as we slowly grow old together, our rtionship will not change, our love willst forever.


    I really hope so too, I wish that we could cherish this moment, An Lan sighed softly, what to ad as she was awyer? Awyers mind had to always remain calm, as her every step had to be careful, she cannot make mistakes, otherwisethewsuit would be lost.


    Life was also like awsuit.


    Go to work, its gettingte.


    I want to skip work today, Xu Baohanmented, he wanted to hug her the whole day, not letting go.


    But you cant, An Lan continued, The trial has already been scheduled, many of them are waiting for you.


    Yes, the judge can never be absent.


    Xu Baohan smiled bitterly, got up, put on his clothes, and went out.


    ..


    An Lan called Li Yuchen to get sick leave, to be more realistic, she even pretended to have a hoarse voice.


    Since youre sick, do you need us to buy some fruits and visit you? Li Yuchen sighed. I didnt expect you to catch a cold as youre usually as strong as an ox, how strange.


    Do you even know how to speak? If you dont then shut up. An Lan was annoyed. I dont need you to visit me.


    Li Yuchen smiled. Sigh, youre still so full of energy when you scold people, did you really catch a cold? If its just a little fever, then forget it, just persevere ande to work.


    Get lost. An Lan was so angry that sheughed, even though she had lied about her illness, but this guy was too ruthless. Im so sick that Im going into shock, I just cante to work today. Goodbye.


    After she hung up, she pulled the nket over and went to sleep.


    When she woke up again, it was already ten oclock, there was a WeChat message from Xu Baohan: Remember to take breakfast when you wake up, I made toast for You before I came out, it should be ready now.


    An Lan washed up and went downstairs, the toast was already prepared and left n the toaster, she cut it open and put a piece of cheese in and grilled it, it was not bad.


    However, her legs were sore and she was toozy to move, sheid on the sofa, watching TV and ying with her phone.


    It was 12.40 pm when Xu Baohan delivered the food.


    Seeing him in such a hurry, An Lan could not bear it. Did you drive here?


    I couldnt drive so fast, I took the subway. Xu Baohan opened the lunchbox. I didnt eat either, lets eat together, I have to rush to the court after that.


    An Lan held her chopsticks and stared at him, her heart was warm. Actually, if you think the takeout is not so hygienic, you can get someone to deliver the food, its very convenient to deliver within the same city now, you dont have to go through so much trouble.


    Xu Baohan swallowed the food and lowered his head, his deep eyes were brighter than ever. An Lan, I just want to have lunch with you today.


    An Lan felt a rare sweetness in her heart, she raised her eyebrows and smiled. Are you that happy to have lunch with me?


    Not really, just that its quite appetizing. Xu Baohan smiled. I think I can eat three bowls of rice.

 Chapter 1978. Han Han, Dont Overeat And Become Fatty Han

    Chapter 1978. Han Han, Don''t Overeat And Be Fatty Han


    An Lan was speechless.


    She forcefully retracted the tenderness in her eyes, appetizing, you idiot.


    Your appetite doesnt have to be that good. An Lan smiled as she picked up a piece of beef for him. Han Han, dont overeat and be Fatty Han.


    Xu Baohan choked on the food and coughed.


    An Lan, on the other hand, was beaming with joy.


    ..


    For the next few days, Xu Baohan spent his blissful days like living in the honey pot, Sometimes, An Lan spent the night at his ce, but most of the time, he spent the night at An Lans ce.


    Compared to men, An Lan felt that this was a sweet annoyance, mainly because Xu Baohan was too engrossed in it. At times, she would hide in her own house and didnt want to go over, even if Xu Baohan got off work at nine, he would stille over to look for her.


    As long as they didnt go on a business trip, the two of them would basically meet every day.


    At the end of the month, the case with He Mingqian had been arranged, An Lan and Song Ruixue spoke on matters rted to the case before she hung up and yawned non-stop.


    Yan Wen brought in some documents, when she saw her expression, she smiled ambiguously. Ms An, you seem to be quite tired recently.


    An Lan felt guilty and forced herself to stop yawning. I am quite tired. Im so excited that I cant sleep, just thinking about how Im going to beat He Mingqian to the ground.


    You dont seem to be a nervous person, Yan Wen whispered into her ear. Everyone is saying that youve been living too happily with Judge Xu recently.


    An Lan was speechless.


    She really wanted to beat this assistant to death, she gritted her teeth and red at her with a cold smile. Assistant Yan, it seems that Ive been too lenient with you recently.


    Yan Wen shrunk her neck, she hesitated for a moment and nced at her quickly, I didnt say that. Im just telling you what I heard through the grapevine, the day before yesterday, you almost dozed off during a meeting, this has never happened before. Also Ms An, now that winter is here, you can actually start wearing a turtleneck sweater.


    An Lan was slightly startled.


    Ill leave the documents here, Im going out. Yan Wen quickly closed the door and left.


    An Lan had a bad feeling, she quickly took out a mirror from her bag, when she looked up, there were a few hickeys under her corbone.


    The mirror slipped out of her hand and fell onto her leg, she wanted to strangle Xu Baohan to death.


    That afternoon, after work, she drove to a nearby shopping mall and bought three turtleneck sweaters in one go.


    ..


    At 9 pm, Xu Baohan came over after work, he smiled when he saw the new sweater on the sofa. An Lan, your neck is long, this sweater will definitely look good on you.


    An Lans cold gaze swept over him.


    Xu Baohan waspletely oblivious. Did you go shopping today? If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to buy me a jacket too, the weather has turned cold recently, my previous jacket was too thin.


    Its good that its thin, what a man need is to be able to withstand coldness? An Lan smiled wryly. Why spend on clothes? Its a waste of money, do you know how expensive a mans jacket is nowadays?


    No matter how slow Xu Baohan was, he could feel the intensity in the speech, he blinked. Are you having your period? Do you still have sanitary pads at home? Do you want me to go buy them?


    An Lan was speechless.


    Luckily, she didnt have a heart problem, otherwise, she would have died of a heart attack.


    Youre my boyfriend, cant you even remember the duration of my period? An Lan questioned unhappily.


    Xu Baohan frowned. Didnt ite earlier previously?


    An Lan sighed and pulled her cor slightly. Now do you know why I have to buy turtleneck sweaters? You made me aughing stock in front of my colleagues.

 Chapter 1979. Are You Trying To Make Me Angry

    Chapter 1979. Are You Trying To Make Me Angry


    Xu Baohan took a closer look, the more he looked, the deeper his dark brows furrowed. Your colleague can even see this, looks like its time to wear a turtleneck sweater, your clothes had necklines that were too low.


    AN Lan was speechless.


    She was so angry that sheughed, was this the main point that she was trying to state?


    Xu Baohan adjusted her cor. Next time, youre not allowed to wear such low-cut clothes, by the way, was this a man or a woman that have discovered?


    Is it important whether its a man or a woman? An Lan gritted her teeth.


    Its important. Xu Baohan nodded, his gaze heavy. The only thing other men can see on you is just above your corbone and below the knees.


    Xu Baohan, are you trying to make me angry? An Lan couldnt take it anymore. Can we talk on the same channel? Even if I wear clothes above my corbone, the taller people can still see it


    Then this man is definitely a pervert. Xu Baohans voice became displeased. Youre already very tall, there are very few women who are taller than you.


    An Lan took a deep breath, In short I have my own style of dressing, even if youre my boyfriend, I dont like you to interfere, this isnt a feudal society after all, and my usual style of dressing is sometimes a little sexy, but its not exposed. Its a female professional dressing style. Im begging you, can you be reasonable? I said not to leave any traces, why must you always be like this? Are you a Scavenger fish?


    Xu Baohan was confused. What kind of fish is that?


    An Lan exined with a smile, Its a type of fish that has a mouth like a vacuum cleaner.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    His handsome features turned ugly for a moment before he sat down beside her and reached out to hug her.


    An Lan dodged to the side angrily.


    Xu Baohan grabbed her forcefully and made her sit on hisp.


    Let go of me, Xu Baohan, An Lan threw a tantrum.


    Please dont be angry, Xu Baohanforted her softly. An Lan, you cant me me, you were too much of a temptation to me, but Ill be more careful next time.


    An Lan was speechless. I feel that youre a monster right now.


    You said Im like a Scavenger fish.


    Both are correct, An Lan said unhappily.


    Xu Baohan looked at her fuming expression and couldnt help smiling, he hugged her tightly and kissed her face. An Lan, youre so cute.


    An Lan was on the verge of a mental breakdown, how was she cute? she couldnt understand the mans gaze.


    Luckily, her phone rang.


    Dont be noisy, Li Shuang is calling me. An Lan had a bad feeling as she picked up the call.


    Li Shuangs low voice sounded, I might have to get a divorce this time, I didnt expect that Deng Zhicheng the bastard is having a woman outside, and its his assistant, Tang Shan, Im going crazy. Tang Shan had evene to our house for meals a few times previously, Im so disgusted that Im about to throw up, when do you think they started to get together


    An Lan sighed, she wasnt so stupid to have noticed it that quickly. How did you know?


    I hired a private detective, Li Shuang said angrily. These are things that money can resolve, and I dont have to do it personally.

 Chapter 1980. Would You Avenge Me?

    Chapter 1980. Would You Avenge Me?


    An Lan understood his feelings. She was touched, of course. After all, having someone who would worry about her safety and urge her to go home in the middle of the night was sweet and warm. However, it came with some worries, too.


    How about this, you go to the bar first and call me when its almost over. Ill pick you up, Xu Baohan said as he ruffled her hair. Dont stay toote, be careful.


    Okay, An Lan nodded. She gave him a hug before leaving.


    She arrived at the bar where she would be meeting Li Shuang. She was already there, ordered quite a lot of wine, and was drinking one of the bottles alone.


    Wheres your son?


    Hes at my mothers ce, Li Shuang replied with a dazed expression. She looked even more haggard when she was under the light.


    An Lan understood her feelings. No matter how strong a person was and how hard she tried to sound rxed, she wouldnt feel good after being betrayed.


    An Lan, still, youre the most carefree one, Li Shuang said with a bitter smile.


    Actually, its quite good to stay single. Marriage is not reliable at all. Let me tell you, dont get married. Its okay to be in a rtionship, but if you want to have children, just steal a high-quality sperm and have a baby.


    An Lan drank a mouthful of beer awkwardly. She was too embarrassed to tell her that she had a boyfriend and she was considering getting married. After all, this was not good timing.


    Li Shuang was ranting for quite a while, she scolded Deng Zhicheng up to his ancestors.


    Li Shuang, its mainly up to you. Do you want a divorce or not? I feel that for the sake of the child, He might not necessarily want a divorce. His parents might not agree either. Some women will endure it and make a scene, and the man will return to the familyAn Lan then said.


    I have mysophobia. I cant tolerate it. Li Shuang was already a little drunk. She mmed the table and said, Of course I want a divorce. I want the childs custody. I want the house, the car, and all his money. An Lan, you dont know right He bought a house for Tang ShanI have to get the house back


    An Lan sighed. Sometimes, women demanded things at times like this, not because that they are materialistic. It was because of the desire to revenge.


    Is there any proof that Deng Zhicheng paid for the house?


    Li Shuang smiled bitterly. No, but I know that he bought it through the partner of thepany. When we bring this to the court, he will definitely say that the money was transferred for business use. There is no evidence


    An Lan spun the empty beer bottle in her hand, she was also angry too. If that was her husband who bought a house for another woman, she would probably be in the mood to kill him.


    An Lan, you are my girl, right? You will definitely avenge me, right? Li Shuang held her hand tightly.


    An Lan almost spatted out a mouthful of wine. Im sorry, I am straight.


    My Lan Lan Li Shuang hugged her and did not let go.


    Stop acting like that, I am going to puke son. An Lan pushed her hand away, Can you be a little more rational? Youre also aw student. Li Shuang, you chose this marriage on your own. If you choose it, youll have to bear the consequences. Theres now that says cheating is a crime. I can only help you get the child and the house. As for the allocation of money, youll have to split it 70-30. Although I really want to make this bastard leave the house with nothing, I cant do so for the time being.


    Li Shuang was depressed.


    An Lan patted her on the shoulder. Dont worry, Ill skin him and let him know the consequences of betraying my girl.


    Li Shuang did not feel good still, she was drunk.


    At 11.30 pm, Xu Baohan called to ask for the address. He got there not long after. He frowned when he saw Li Shuang, who waspletely drunk.

 Chapter 1981. Ill Pour a Bucket of Cold Water On You

    Chapter 1981. I''ll Pour a Bucket of Cold Water On You


    An Lan grabbed Li Shuangs wine bottle. Stop drinking. Go home. Ill send you home.


    Home? Li Shuang shook her head.Im not going home. I cant let my mother and son see me like this. I cant, I cant. An Lan, Ill sleep at your ce.


    Before An Lan could speak, Li Shuang got down from her chair and hugged her tightly. Baby, Ill sleep with you. We havent slept together in a long time.


    Xu Baohan was displeased when he heard that. He said bluntly to An Lan, You know where she lives right? Give me the address, well send her home.


    An Lan was in a dilemma. I dont think so. She doesnt want to go back.


    So youre sleeping with her? Then what about me? Xu Baohan frowned in displeasure.


    I didnt say that. She can sleep in the guest room. An Lan said exasperatedly. Even if she sleeps with me, whats the matter? Shes not a man. Besides, we sleep together every day. Its fine for us to spend a night apart asionally.


    No, Xu Baohan rejected tly. Its fine for you, but it matters for me. If I dont sleep with you for a day, Ill suffer from insomnia. I still have to go to court tomorrow. If I dont sleep well and fall asleep in court, you are obstructing justice.


    An Lan was horrified. He was able to make it sound so serious. Why dont you just arrest me?


    I cant bear to, my heart aches, Xu Baohan said righteously.


    An Lan really couldnt do anything about him. I cant send her back. Its not good for the kid to see this. Hold her up and bring her back.


    Xu Baohan saw that she was resolute and had no other choice but to pull Li Shuang off An Lans body. However, before he could pull her off, Li Shuang started beating him. Deng Zhicheng, I wont go home with you, you heartless bastard. I will definitely make you lose everything. I will let you know the price of betraying me


    Xu Baohan did not have much patience with other women, he grabbed her arms and threw her onto his shoulder before carrying her out.


    An Lan was stunned, she quickly followed him.


    Xu Baohan opened the back door and threw her into the back seat.


    Hey! Why are you so harsh? An Lan could not bear to see it. She is so weak and so heartbroken.


    What does that have to do with me? Shes not my girlfriend, Xu Baohan said expressionlessly as he got into the drivers seat.


    An Lan was speechless, it was not the first day she knew him. Forget it, as long he was treating her right, that was enough.


    Xu Baohan moved Li Shuang to the bed in the guest room. When he saw An Lan wiping her face, removing her shoes, and covering her with the nket, he was displeased again.


    He stopped her in front of the toilet when she was going to pour away the used water. An Lan, youre really attentive to her. Youre not even that nice to me.


    An Lan blinked and looked at him.


    Xu Baohan lowered his head and yed with her fingers. If I get drunk one day, will you wipe my face and remove my shoes?


    An Lan raised her head with a smile. No, but Ill pour a bucket of cold water on you instead.


    Xu Baohan was speechless.


    I dont like men who drink for no reason, like a drunkard. Unless he is in a bad mood. An Lan smiled faintly, Li Shuang is behaving like this because she is in a bad mood, so why would you be in a bad mood? Breaking up with me?


    Xu Baohan did not say anything but put his arm around her shoulders. He said gently, I was just saying. I dont like to drink, and I dont get drunk either. Its not that you dont know me.

 Chapter 1982. Be Quiet When You Do That

    Chapter 1982. Be Quiet When You Do That


    An Lan patted his chest gently. Dont be so childish next time. Youre even jealous of my good friend?


    Sure, but it depends on if you can convince me Xu Baohan carried her in his arms.


    An Lan was shocked as her legs were trembling. Seriously? Do you know what time is it now? I thought you still have to wake up early tomorrow??


    Well, dont worry, I can handle it.


    Its not about whether you can handle it, its just that I cant handle it, understand? An Lan was about to scream. AndTheres someone else at home!


    Be good, and you wont be tired. Xu Baohan kissed her and carried her to the master bedroom.


    The next day, Li Shuang woke up in a daze. She felt her head was heavy and ufortable.


    She did not know how much she had drunkst night. Now that her mouth was so dry, and she really wanted to go to the toilet.


    She got up and turned on the lights. She realized that this was An Lans guest room. She was a little depressed that she did not sleep with her.


    She struggled to get up and walked out. When she was out from the toilet, she heard the sound of the door opening from the master bedroom.


    She looked up and saw a tall man slowly walking over from the corridor. The morning light outlined his cold and handsome face. Although he was only wearing ordinary mens pyjamas, his invible aura made her shudder.


    Li Shuangs sleepiness was gone, and her lips quivered. Chief Chief Judge Xu?


    She thought she was still drunk, so she pped her face hard.


    Be quiet when you do that, An Lan is still sleeping, Xu Baohan warned her coldly before walking past her. He was expressionless.


    Li Shuang was speechless. She wanted to kick open the bedroom door and ask An Lan what was going on.


    Why was Devil Xu staying in her house anding out of her bedroom? What did she miss?


    However, it seemed like this bedroom did not belong to An Lan alone anymore. She felt embarrassed and had no choice but to sneak over to look for Xu Baohan.


    Seeing that he had already started brushing his teeth in the bathroom, it seemed like he was already very familiar with this ce.


    Li Shuang moved closer like a kitten. Chief Judge Xu, why are you with my An Lan


    Your An Lan? Xu Baohan raised his sharp brows. Dont be mistaken, from now on, it should be my An Lan.


    Li Shuang was stunned. Darn, was there a need to be so overbearing? Yes, sure But when did you two start dating? Why didnt I know about it at all?


    Then I guess something must be wrong with your friendship. He then started to wash his face.


    Li Shuang wanted to kill An Lan. How could she not tell her about having a boyfriend? Was she still considered a friend?


    Excuse me, could you please get out of my way. Xu Baohan walked over, giving off an inexplicable oppressive aura.


    Li Shuang subconsciously dodged to the side.


    Then, Xu Baohan entered the kitchen and started to make breakfast.


    Li Shuang leaned against the door and watched as he took out the pan and started frying eggs. Not long after, a medium-rare egg was done. Then, he sprinkled ham, bacon, cheese, butter, and ck pepper on it and started to roast it. Soon, the kitchen was filled with an alluring fragrance.


    She hadnt eaten muchst night and was famished.


    However, Xu Baohan ignored her. After making one set, he started to wash the rice and cook porridge with treme and purple potatoes.


    It looked really delicious.


    After he was done, Xu Baohan came out of the kitchen. Li Shuang quickly said, Chief Judge Xu, youre really good to An Lan. Erm Im so hungry, can I have some of that?

 Chapter 1983. You Are of No Use To Me

    Chapter 1983. You Are of No Use To Me


    Sorry, but I only made An Lans portion. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself. Xu Baohan walked past her coldly.


    Li Shuang was stunned. Even though she knew that Chief Judge Xu was ruthless, but this was beyond what she was expecting.


    Chief Judge Xu, are you sure this is okay? Li Shuang said unwillingly, Im her good friend after all. If you were to quarrel in the future Who knows? You might need my help! Since I will be the one she would approach for things like that


    What I know is, I do not have time to spend on other women besides An Lan, Im very busy, Xu Baohan said bluntly, And if that really happens in the future, and you are not mediating it, there is no point of keeping you as a friend. A true friend wants her friend to live a happy life. Of course, if the quarrel happens on a ground that I did something wrong, I wouldnt have a reason to keep bothering her, so I guess, you are of no use to me.


    After saying that, he took his coat, changed his shoes, and prepared to leave.


    When he opened the door, he turned back to warn Li Shuang, Oh right, An Lan stayed up veryte for youst night. Dont go in and disturb her, let her sleep a little longer.


    After that, he opened the door and left.


    Li Shuang was stunned for a moment before she remembered that he had made breakfast for An Lan but not himself. It seemed like he did not even have the time for that.


    And yes, she was treated super coldly just now.


    Darn, this was the first time being treated like that by her best friends boyfriend.


    In the past, she had always been fawned on. After all, they needed her one day.


    But for some reason, she felt that this was normal.


    That was Chief Judge Xu! It would be abnormal if he didnt act like that.


    However, although being so evil and cold to her, he made An Lan breakfast although he did not have the time to make for himself. How sweet.


    She suddenly felt a little envious.


    However, besides that, she was angry towards An Lan too. How could she not know about her having a boyfriend??


    She rushed into the master bedroom angrily, jumped onto the big bed, and directly pulled An Lan out of the nket.


    An Lan, who was sleeping soundly, woke up in shock. She opened her eyes and saw Li Shuangs face just right in front of her. She screamed in fear and immediately grabbed the pillow beside her and pped it on her face.


    OMG, what did you guys didst night? Li Shuang cried out excitedly. Your body Hehe What an exotic night.


    An Lan blushed as she quickly pulled the nket tighter around her. She had fallen asleep straightst night, without wearing anything Li Shuang, thats enough, I think I didnt lift your nket when you were with Deng Zhicheng in the past.


    Thats because I didnt hide it from you! Li Shuang scoffed, You didnt tell me about having a boyfriend, and it is Xu Baohan! I knew you two were having something since thest school gathering, but I left early and didnt go to the KTV afterwards. I really didnt expect that you will fall for him after cursing him for being a cuckold.


    WellLife is unpredictable, right? An Lan reminded her. You are about to get a divorce right now, yet you still have the leisure to judge me?


    Li Shuangs expression changed when she heard that. Yes, back then, I thought that even if I got a divorce, I would still have you. I didnt expect you to abandon me and look for a boyfriend I felt so lonely.

    Chapter 1984. Dear, You Must Clear My Name


    Sorry, but I only made An Lans portion. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself. Xu Baohan walked past her coldly.


    Li Shuang was stunned. Even though she knew that Chief Judge Xu was ruthless, but this was beyond what she was expecting.

    Hmm You still have your son right? Didnt you say that he is all you need? An Lan sighed. Besides, didnt you also abandon me mercilessly back then? Ever since you got married, you did not even hang out with me anymore.


    Li Shuang was sad. An Lan, Im sorry. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose to spend the rest of my life with you. When we get old, well live in a vi and drive a Mercedes Benz. We shall stay single forever and enjoy life happily Deng Zhicheng? Men? Theyre all bastards!


    Thank you. However, I dont want to spend the rest of my life with you. Ive already found the person I want now. An Lan mercilessly rejected her.  I shall enjoy a happy life with him.


    Oh You are so cruel! Did you forget that Im a patient with a broken heart? Li Shuang acted that she was about to cry. Comfort me!


    No, I cant, An Lan patted her shoulder. Xu Baohan will be jealous.


    Li Shuang immediately burst into tears. You all went overboard. Just now, when I said I was hungry, Xu Baohan didnt even spare me some food.


    Well, because youre not me, An Lan said with a smile. He only treats me well.


    Looking at her blissful expression, Li Shuang waved her hand. Goodbye, I dont want to talk to you anymore. Im going to bed.


    Go ahead, since I am so kind, Ill boil you an eggter.


    Li Shuang was speechless.


    She was definitely here to be tortured.


    Speaking of which, you have changed, Li Shuang said with a snort. You used to hate him so much, speaking ill of him in front of me. How did you fall in love with him?


    An Lan tilted her head and thought about this question carefully. Thats before I know him.


    Li Shuang frowned. So, do you believe in marriage now?


    An Lan patted her shoulder, Yes, I do. Even if he stops loving me or betrays me one day. I still have me. Thats right. Ive done so many divorce cases and seen so many unsightly things. But there are people who could still find happiness after that. We could love ourselves more and treat ourselves well, even the partners leave us. We shall believe that we deserve better.


    Li Shuang was stunned and touched. An Lan, are you trying tofort me?


    No. An Lan shook her finger. Im trying to rify that Im different from you.


    Li Shuangs face fell. I think you and Xu Baohan are a perfect match. Both of you are so evil.


    Thank you for thepliment. An Lan smiled.


    Two days after Li Shuang left, she handed over the information regarding Deng Zhichengs infidelity to An Lan.


    An Lan did not go to Deng Zhicheng straight. Instead, she started to investigate hispany.


    Soon, the court day for An Lan and He Mingqian hase.


    On the day, Nian Junting and Luo Sang were there at the court too.


    Luo Sang, why are you here? An Lan was a little surprised. The court isnt a good ce.


    Luo Sang smiled and said, Junting asked me toe on behalf of him


    today.


    Nian Junting nodded and said, When a husband was used of having an affair with another woman. Its more powerful for the wife to stand up and testify for him. Dear, you have to clear my name.


    Luo Sang sighed and said, Im doing this for An Lan. Women are always the poor victims when things like this happened.


    Maybe not, Nian Junting said coldly, If you do not have enough trust in me, you might have believed He Mingqians words.


    Excuse me, we dont have trust per said, Luo Sang raised her hand and said, The one who I trusted is An Lan.

 Chapter 1985. Mrs. Nian, Do You Trust Your Husband?

    Chapter 1985. Mrs. Nian, Do You Trust Your Husband?


    Nian Junting was so angry that he burst intoughter. He reached out his hand and pinched her cheek, saying, How am I not worthy of your trust? Apart from my work, my heart is always on you, you heartless man.


    Luo Sang humphed and said, Who knew, since youre hardly home for dinner these few days?


    I was working. Recently, thepany has a big project, and many things are discussed during dinner, Nian Junting nced at her and said, Youre so easily jealous. I go home every day, and you find me annoying. If I dont go home, youll be nervous. What do you want?


    Xu Baohan walked over with a cold face and said, You two can fight, but can you do it at home? The open court session is about to start. Please show that youre in love. He Mingqian and hiswyer are here.


    Luo Sang didnt say anything. Nian Junting immediately pulled her into his arms. He turned his head and saw He Mingqian and a middle-aged man in his fifties walking up to her.


    An Lan pursed her lips. He Mingqian had invested a lot in this case. He even invited Zhou Yuan, the famous attorney in Shanghai. Zhou Yuan was good at this kind of dispute, but unfortunately, he was facing Song Ruixue.


    He Mingqian felt his scalp tingle when he saw Nian Junting. He forced a smile and said, An Lan, are we really going to go through with this? Have you forgotten how we used to love each other?


    Before he finished, Xu Baohan was already disgusted. He nced at her coldly, then pulled An Lan into his arms and said, Come on, lets go in. Its time for the open court session.


    He Mingqians handsome face turned cold.


    At 9:30, the court session began.


    In the past, Xu Baohan would sit at the very top of the court. This time, he would sit at the back as the audience. Of course, this time, there were also many reporters. After all, having the number onewyer in the industry on this case would always attract a lot of attention after so many years.


    Song Ruixue was indeed a topwyer in the industry. He directly invited the first witness, Teng Min.


    Teng Min stood on the witness stand, she said, I used to work in Yuan Fangw firm. I was Mas assistant. I worked in the samepany as He Mingqian. After he broke up with An Lan, every time ourpany had a dinner and sang, he would say that if An Lan hadnt pestered him, he wouldnt have been together. He also said that An Lan was promiscuous after dating him, and her private life was chaotic. She slept with many men, including President Nian of Shengting. He said that An Lans achievements were all because of her.


    Next, Luo Sang went to court. She nced at He Mingqian with a cold look in her eyes, Im Nian Juntings wife. I heard some rumors that Lawyer An is having an affair with my hubby. I think its ridiculous. Ive known Lawyer An for many years. Shes Shengtings legal consultant and my husbands good friend. They used to attend university together. We have a good rtionship in private. I didnt expect to be vilified like this. Its ridiculous. Not only did she smeared Lawyer Ans reputation, she also vilified my husband.


    Song Ruixue smiled and asked, Mrs. Nian, do you trust your husband?


    Very much, Luo Sang nodded and said, Hes a very honest, helpful, and good family man.


    Nian Junting, who was sitting in the back of the audience, raised the corners of his mouth.


    Xu Baohan nced at him and said, You can hang your clothes from your mouth.


    Nian Junting said arrogantly, Listen to what my wife said about me. After being married for so many years, she finally spoke her mind.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips and asked, Is that really what she thinks?


    Do you think that she would lie in a fair and serious court? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows and said, Judge Xu, its sphemy if you think that way.

 Chapter 1986. This is a Courtroom, Not a Place for Husband and Wife to Profess Their Love

    Chapter 1986. This is a Courtroom, Not a ce for Husband and Wife to Profess Their Love


    Xu Baohan didnt say anything. He decided to let him think whatever he wanted.


    At that moment, Zhou Yuan stood up and said, Mrs. Nian, Id like to ask you something. You said that Mr. Nian and An Lan have known each other for many years. Theyre both colleagues and schoolmates. That means theyre really close and they see each other often, right?


    Luo Sang frowned and said, Yes, but theyre always talking about work or


    You just need to answer yes or no, Zhou Yuan said with a smile.


    Luo Sang forced herself to admit, Yes.


    Zhou Yuan smiled and said, Then, Mrs. Nian, have you ever had any wild thoughts about their rtionship? Have you ever been a little envious or a little jealous? Please answer my question honestly in court.


    Yes, Luo Sang had no choice but to admit in the face of thewyers aggressive gaze, But that was in the past, then


    Zhou Yuan interrupted her directly, Chief Judge, Mrs. Nian has personally proven that Nian Junting and An Lan have no problems, but as her wife, she has also had wild thoughts. As An Lans boyfriend at that time, He Mingqian thought that it was normal for the two of them to have an ambiguous rtionship. He would feel ufortable, and men would feel insecure and jealous. Thats why he said those things in public. He didnt think that he was ndering An Lan. He thought that he was telling the truth, but his truth wasnt the actual truth. It could only be said that he had invested too much in this rtionship, and it was a kind reminder to others. He didnt want others to be like him.


    The Chief Judge frowned silently.


    Luo Sang bit her lips gloomily.


    Xu Baohan frowned and said to Nian Junting in a low voice, I told you that you should be in court today, not your wife.


    Nian Junting nodded and said, Yeah, I forgot that my wife is a narrow-minded and jealous person. She cares about me too much, thats why she has a grudge against me. I cant do anything about it.


    Xu Baohan:


    As usual, this man didnt understand what he meant.


    This is a courtroom, not a ce for the couple to profess their love.


    He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to kick him down.


    Song Ruixue calmly invited a third witness, Yan Zhen, the judge. Yan Zhen was present when An Lan was humiliated by He Mingqian in public.


    After Yan Zhen finished speaking, Song Ruixue held his eyes, his gaze cold, Let me ask you, did you also warn my client out of kindness when you wantonly insulted and humiliated her in public? Your words were close to vicious. What would the people who heard these words think? They would have determined that An Lan was a promiscuous woman, but there was no evidence for anything you said. You said that my client actively pursued and seduced you, but in reality, you pestered her to send her flowers, text messages, and invite her. My client thought that it was not in line with your personality, and you became angry out of humiliation. You even sent her text messages to threaten and insult her. My client has the screenshots to prove it.


    Song Ruixue paused for a moment, Even because my client has a new boyfriend, because of jealousy, in order to take revenge on my client, you deliberately instigated him to do something that gravely flout thew, and even nearly killed my clients boyfriend.


    Objection, Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, The opposingwyer is getting more and more ridiculous. My client has never done anything to flout thew.


    An Lan stared at He Mingqian and smiled coldly. At this moment, she heard Song Ruixue say, I would like to invite another witness, Zhao Gui, toe up.

 Chapter 1987. “You Should Never have Provoked My Man.”

    Chapter 1987. ��You Should Never have Provoked My Man.��


    At that moment, not only was He Mingqian flustered, even Xu Baohan, who was sitting behind him, was stunned.


    After a while, Zhao Gui had already walked into the courtroom.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows. Why couldnt he understand what did An Lan do to have Zhao Gui called up?


    Song Ruixue presented two photos to the judge, The two people in the photos, one is Zhao Gui and the other is He Mingqians assistant. The location is right at the entrance of the court. I still remember that some time ago, Zhao Gui lost the case and was at the top of the court building. He Mingqian was the one behind it.


    Nonsense, I didnt. He Mingqian stood up anxiously. I had no idea that my assistant had contact with Zhao Gui. To pin the crime on me based on two photos is nder.


    Silence, the Chief Judge reprimanded sternly. Silence in the Court.


    Song Ruixue looked at Zhao Gui and pointed at He Mingqian with his other hand. I want to ask you, have you seen him before?


    Zhao Gui nodded, That day, I lost the case and was very indignant. I scolded Xu Baohan in court. Xu Baohan had someone bring me out of the court and I caused a ruckus at the main entrance. It was this persons assistant who said that if I wanted to save my son, I would go with him. Then, I saw him in a car not far from the court. He said that Xu Baohan was helping the murderer of my son. Even if there was a second trial, Xu Baohan wouldnt be able to help my son even if hemunicated with the people in the court. He said that the connection in your industry is very deep.


    He Mingqians expression became more and more tense, and the Chief Judge on the stage also furrowed his brows.


    Zhao Gui was so nervous that he moistened his tongue, he then continued, He said that if I made a scene at the entrance, I would definitely be arrested by the police. Theres no use in making a scene, I can onlymit suicide to make the matter bigger and attract the attention of the media. Only when the public knew that Xu Baohan was embezzling would they investigate my sonswsuit. When I asked him why he wanted to help me, he said that Xu Baohan used his power to bully others and snatch his girlfriend away. He even wanted to force him to damage his reputation so he might not be able to be awyer, or he might even go to jail. I believed his words back then, thats why I was instigated by him tomit suicide. Fortunately, Xu Baohan saved me, and he even fell from the twelfth floor because he saved me.


    Song Ruixue continued the topic, He Mingqian, in order to take revenge for his own personal gains and purposes, encouraged people to stand on the edge of the rooftop tomit suicide. It had been raining for the past few days, and the rooftop was covered in moss, making it easy for it to slip. Whats the difference between his actions and murder?


    Objection, Zhou Yuan said anxiously. Just as he opened his mouth, Song Ruixues cold words had already shot back.


    What are you objecting to? Are you objecting that He Mingqian didnt instigate people tomit suicide, or that he didntmit murder?


    Zhou Yuans scalp went numb. I object to all of it. These are all his one-sided statements.


    Then what if there are still these photos? Song Ruixue asked someone to pass a stack of documents to the Chief Judge, Its very coincidental. There are no CCTV cameras where He Mingqian saw Zhao Gui, but the shop at the entrance has CCTV installed and coincidentally captured the scene of Zhao Gui getting into Song Ruixues car.


    After the Chief Judge took a look, he nced coldly at He Mingqian.


    Song Ruixue continued to be aggressive,  He Mingqian, you said that Xu Baohan stole your girlfriend. Dont you remember that you and An Lan broke up a long time ago? You said that Xu Baohan was corrupt, you said that the courts waters were too deep, which indirectly implied that Zhao Guis entire court was corrupt, implying that the court was unfair and not honest? Not only did you publicly destroy An Lans reputation and disparage others, you also spread unjustified rumors


    To frame a conscientious judicial officer of the state, to destroy the prestige of the judicial organ, and to interfere with the normal activities of the judicial organ, the seriousness of the circumstances, and the vile means used to almost cause death, you have seriously vited the criminalw. Yet, a person like you are still awyer. You are taking advantage of your position tomit a crime. What right does a person like you have to be awyer?


    He Mingqians face instantly turned pale.


    He had initially discussed with Zhou Yuan that it was impossible for him topletely get away with it. At most, he would argue in court that he did not deliberately fabricate the truth, but he did not expect the other party to call Zhao Gui out as well.


    He could not understand why Zhao Gui would stand up and testify on their behalf. Didnt he hate Xu Baohan to death.


    If it was just a problem between him and An Lan, it would be fine if he paid some money, but if he were to be used of undermining the authority of the judiciary, he would basically be done for.


    The Chief Judge gave He Mingqian a deep look, and in the end, he decided topensate An Lan for two million yuan in psychological damages, revoke herwyers practice certificate, and sentence her to three years in prison.


    After the sentence was announced, He Mingqian couldnt believe it. No, I didnt do it. This is a frame-up. An Lan and Zhao Gui colluded. An Lan, youre so despicable


    He rushed towards An Lan excitedly, but Xu Baohan was even faster. He rushed over and protected An Lan tightly behind him.


    Thew enforcement officers quickly came over to detain He Mingqian. He roared like a madman, Bitch, I wont let you off.


    Now that things havee to this, not only have you not shown any signs of repentance, you even insulted and threatened the person in question in court. Youre looking down on the court. Looks like your sentence was too lenient, Xu Baohan warned with narrowed eyes.


    He Mingqian red at him. Xu Baohan, I


    I am a judicial officer, pay attention to what you say, Xu Baohan said coldly. The sentence is for you to repent. Dont tell me you still have no intention of repentance?


    He Mingqian bit his lips and did not say anything. Three years in prison was already long enough. Even if he was released, he would not be able to be awyer again. If this continued, his sentence might get even heavier.


    But because he was too angry, his entire body was trembling.


    An Lan smiled at him, I already know about Zhao Guis matter. Do you know why I didnt make a move? I just wanted to give you a fatal blow at the end. Senior Song and I have discussed this in private. You and Zhou know everything about thiswsuit. Its a pity that youre wrong. What I wanted from the start wasnt as simple as you apologizing to me. For a vicious person like you, the best oue would be to go to prison and reform.


    He Mingqians chest heaved up and down.


    An Lan moved closer to him and said, You should never have provoked my man.


    After saying that, she pulled Xu Baohan out of the courtroom without looking back.


    Hearing herst sentence, Xu Baohans heart was in the clouds.


    Look at how powerful his woman is. I was bullied by someone, and her woman even helped me clean up the mess..


    She was too charming, her woman was too charming.


    Nian Junting held Luo Sangs hand and walked behind them. He lowered his head and said to Luo Sang, Listen to how An Lan protects her man. Look at how you usually protect me. You only know how to threaten me, warn me, and tease me.


    Luo Sang nced at her with a smile and said, If you were with An Lan back then, you would be the one being protected by him today. Xu Baohan wouldnt be involved, would he, Hubby?

 Chapter 1988. Baohan, Your Girlfriend is Amazing

    Chapter 1988. Baohan, Your Girlfriend is Amazing


    Nian Junting felt a chill run down his spine and cleared his throat, Im just kidding. Someone as powerful as your hubby doesnt need to be protected. I prefer to protect the woman I love. Unlike Xu Baohan, who cant even protect himself. A woman like An Lan is more suitable for him.


    Luo Sang was amused. Who would say that about their ssmate? But I think An Lan is really cool today. Im a little charmed by her.


    Nian Junting quickly hugged her and said, Whats there to be charmed about a woman? Have you forgotten how I protected you in the past?


    Alright, Im just saying. I just think that women need to understand thew. They have to depend on thew to protect themselves, Luo Sang sighed with emotion. Next time, Ill ask An Lan for more advice. Im too weak and useless in the past.


    Why do you want to ask her for advice? With me around, these arent things that you should worry about, Nian Junting said matter-of-factly. You might as well spend more time with me.


    Luo Sang didnt listen to him. Men could be relied on sometimes, but not absolutely.


    A group of people walked out of the courtroom.


    Xu Baohan was the first to speak,  An Lan, Teacher Song, when did you contact Zhao Gui to testify in court?


    Song Ruixue looked at An Lan with a smile. It was your girlfriend who brought him here.


    An Lan shrugged. Dont worry, I didnt threaten him. He was willing.


    Xu Baohan was even more confused. The Zhao family is unreasonable, and Zhao Gui probably hates me. Can you think of a way to make him willing?


    Its simple.


    An Lan smiled, With their personalities, Zhao Gui and his son must have offended a lot of people. I asked someone to investigate and found out that Zhao Ping had borrowed quite a bit of money before he died. I said that I would help those who owed money fight awsuit for free. Coincidentally, the house that Zhao Guis family is currently living in used to be Zhao Pings. They were afraid that the house would be repossessed and they wouldnt have a ce to live, so they were willing to appear in court. I helped to mediate the situation and gave them a sweet date. I also tried to reason with them before they were willing to appear in court.


    Xu Baohan was stunned, but he was also a little impressed. Why didnt you tell me?


    He had been worried that An Lan would use underhanded methods, but it appears he was thinking too much. Lawyers had their own ways of doing things.


    Surprise, An Lan smiled. He Mingqian used such underhanded methods behind his back. You can forget about it, but I cant. It would be too easy for him to pay up and apologize.


    Song Ruixues eyes were filled with unconcealed admiration. Baohan, your girlfriend is amazing. She has my style from back then, making me want to take in a disciple.


    An Lans eyes lit up. Teacher Song, are you really willing to take me in as your disciple?


    Song Ruixueughed heartily, An Lan, its been a long time since Ive seen a youngwyer who I admire so much. Its not because youre the best, but because of your strength and personality. I like you very much, and as awyer, youre also very smart. Although youre still young, I believe that sooner orter in this circle, your achievements and status will be like mine. To be honest, I am taking advantage of you when I ept you as my disciple. After all, as awyer, youve already found the method that youre best at, and I actually cant teach you anything.


    Even if I cant teach you, its my honor to recognize you as my mentor, An Lan said excitedly. I have admired you for a long time. I used to feel honored to be able to talk to you.

 Chapter 1989. Feels Good to Be Protected for the First Time

    Chapter 1989. Feels Good to Be Protected for the First Time


    Since youve put it that way, Ill ept you as my disciple. Song Ruixue looked at An Lan with increasing satisfaction. He finally understood why Xu Baohan liked her.


    His daughters friend, Zhuang Tianya, couldnt be said to be bad. She was pretty and pretty too, butpared to An Lan, she seemed tock a bit of charm.


    Then arent we brother and sister? Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow. He didnt expect the usually arrogant Song Ruixue to admire An Lan so much, but his woman was indeed amazing.


    What brother? Youre just my student, Song Ruixue said disdainfully. An Lan is my proper disciple.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips, speaking as though he was a disciple that he had picked up.


    It seems that master likes me a little more now, An Lan smiled and held Xu Baohans arm.


    After saying goodbye to Nian Junting and Luo Sang, the two of them went straight to Song Ruixues vi.


    Song Ruixue had epted an apprentice and won thewsuit today. He happily asked Madam Song to prepare a table full of delicious dishes and even called his daughter, Song Yitong, over.


    At the dining table, An Lan toasted to Song Ruixue. Song Ruixue drank until his face turned red. He pulled his daughter along and said, Let me tell you, this disciple that your father took in today is definitely better than him. Being awyer is like this. You have to have a bottom line and at the same time, you have to do your part. Little An has a bright future. When you need to be ruthless, be ruthless. Todayswsuit was fought beautifully.


    The corner of Song Yitongs mouth curled into an embarrassed smile. The person who could make her father admire was definitely not a good person. She was even a little worried about Zhuang Tianya. She had not heard from Zhuang Tianya recently, and she did not know where she had gone. She hoped that she could be more open-minded.


    Miss Song, heres to you. An Lan raised her ss.


    Heres to you too. Come visit us often in the future, Song Yitong smiled. Its been a long time since my father admired a junior this much.


    I will. An Lan felt a little strange. She always felt that Song Yitong was looking at her strangely.


    An Lan had a drink in the afternoon. When she returned in the afternoon, Xu Baohan drove.


    After getting into the car, An Lan fell asleep not long after.


    It was not until they reached the parking lot that Xu Baohan woke up after carrying her out of the car.


    Why didnt you call me? Ill walk by myself. An Lan moved her body.


    No, I want to hug you. Thank you for doing so much for me. Xu Baohans gaze was so gentle that tears could drip from it.


    An Lan shrugged ufortably. Dont say that. If you hadnt helped me back then, I wouldnt have been schemed against by He Mingqian. All I did was to let him get what he deserved.


    An Lan, Im really happy. Xu Baohan looked at her with aplicated gaze. It feels so good to be protected for the first time.


    An Lan blinked and couldnt helpughing. Chief Judge Xu, are we reading the script the wrong way around?


    After that, she tidied up his shirt cor, No one is protecting anyone. You invited Song Ruixue to help me, and I called Zhao Gui over for you. Baohan, its not that Im protecting you, its that were helping each other, taking care of each other and supporting each other. Furthermore, youre mine, just like how you get angry when Im hurt, and I get angry when youre hurt. The two of us together are a pair of swords, invincible in the world.


    HMM, that makes sense. Xu Baohans eyes could not hide his endless love.


    After entering the elevator, he looked down at her. I really want to keep you by my side for the rest of your life.


    Im already by your side now. An Lan stood on tiptoe, her arms around his neck as her lips slowly moved closer to his.

 Chapter 1990. As a Grown Man, He Seemed To Be Acting Clingy Recently

    Chapter 1990. As a Grown Man, He Seemed To Be Acting Clingy Recently


    Xu Baohans mind went wild, he opened the door and entered the room with her in his arms.


    After He Mingqianswsuit ended, both of their lives went back to normal. An Lan was busy with the legal work of Xuan Yuangs newpany in Xia City. Xuan Yuang didnte, but the early stages of the newpany were hectic, An Lan was very busy every day.., she had to work overtime and socialize daily.


    It was almost the end of the year, and Xu Baohans court work was getting busier and busier.


    Not only that, it was his colleagues birthday, and he had no choice but to go out for dinner and karaoke.


    In the KTV, Judge Zhaos father, who was celebrating his birthday, came over with a ss of wine and patted Xu Baohans shoulder enthusiastically. Little Xu, I heard that youve found a girlfriend, why didnt you bring her today?


    Shes busy.


    Xu Baohans lips curled into a faint smile at the mention of his girlfriend.


    Since your girlfriend isnt here, why dont you have a drink with Uncle? Judge Zhaos father said cheerfully. Its already night, you guys dont have to work anyway.


    Xu Baohan shook his head and refused. I drove the car.


    Its alright, get a designated driver. Father Zhao was an old drunkard, so he grabbed Xu Baohan and poured him some white wine.


    Judge Zhaoughed loudly, Dad, dont get him drunk. If he goes back drunk, be careful that his girlfriend wonte looking for trouble with me. Everyone in the court knows that his girlfriend is not to be trifled with. TSK TSK tsk, Baohan, youre the lucky one. If I had known earlier, I would have found awyer to marry too.


    Youre regretting marrying me now, arent you? Mrs. Zhao came over and grabbed his ears.


    Honey, I was just joking, Judge Zhao pleaded with a sad face.


    Xu Baohan smiled faintly.


    In the end, Father Zhao poured quite a bit of white wine into his mouth. At 10:40, he finally found an excuse to leave. He called An Lan, his tone slightly tipsy. Im drunk


    Then do you know who I am? An Lan asked.


    Xu Baohan lifted his lips and said hoarsely, My wife.


    Looks like youre really drunk. An Lanughed softly. Dont drive, take a taxi home.


    Xu Baohan smiled. Shouldnt you be telling me to wait here, so you can drive over immediately to pick me up?


    Judge Xu, you must have been spoiled by me recently, An Lanughed snappily. I should be the one saying such things, alright?


    Men are human too, there will be times when they will be vulnerable, Xu Baohan said calmly.


    I think youre quite strong, An Lan said bluntly. Arent you just drunk? Havent you been drunk before when you werent with me? You can go back the same way you went back in the past, stop being so clingy.


    Xu Baohan choked to death. After a long while, he said dejectedly, We havent been together for two days.


    Im still busy, An Lan said. The opening is about to start, and there are still some SOPs that havent been perfected. I have to help, you should go to bed early.


    You arent with Xuan Yuang, right? Xu Baohan asked.


    He didnte to Xia city, he has a lot of things to attend to, An Lan said with an annoyed smile.


    Ok.


    After hanging up, Xu Baohan took a taxi back to his house.


    On the way back, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach.


    Maybe he had drunk too much earlier.


    He held his phone and wanted to call An Lan, but he held back in the end.


    However, this thought made the corners of his mouth twitch helplessly. As a man, he seemed to be acting clingy recently.


    He still couldnt let himself be as clingy as Nian Junting.

 Chapter 1991. Do You Still Have Strength

    Chapter 1991. Do You Still Have Strength


    The car arrived at the entrance of the neighbourhood.


    Xu Baohan counted the money and walked towards the pharmacy at the side.


    The pharmacist asked him about his symptoms and gave him a box of stomach medicine.


    Just as he was about to pay the bill, a young woman walked in. She was wearing a light orange knitted coat and her face was pale.


    Doctor, do you have this medicine? She handed a medicine box to the pharmacists and coughed. Her gaze met Xu Baohans.


    Xu Baohan was stunned for a second before he nodded lightly at her. Why are you here?


    He remembered that her house was quite far from here. If she is just popping into the supermarket, she could be said to have passed by by chance, but it was a little strange that she was still able to meet him at the pharmacy near his house.


    Oh, I live near here, Zhuang Tianya said in a hoarse voice. Ourpany moved here a while ago.


    Xu Baohan frowned slightly. Could it be that he would meet her often in the future? If An Lan found out, she might get angry again. However, he could not interfere with where she lived. What a coincidence.


    Yeah, Zhuang Tianya coughed again. I didnt expect toe back here after so many twists and turns, but its still alright. Im quite familiar with this ce.


    Yes, no matter how familiar I am, Ill move out sooner orter. Xu Baohan suppressed his heartburn and said calmly, Next year, when my new house is renovated and Im preparing to get married, I wont be living in this house anymore.


    OH. Zhuang Tianya looked at the medicine box in his hand. Is your stomach ufortable? I remember when you used to work in the county, you used to have to socialize and drink, causing your stomach to be ufortable.


    Xu Baohan did not answer her question, he only reminded her, You dont look well, buy the medicine first, Im leaving.


    He had just walked out of the pharmacy when he heard the pharmacist behind him suddenly call out, Miss, are you alright?


    He turned around, and Zhuang Tianya fell to the ground.


    The pharmacist was trying his best to help her up, but when he saw Xu Baohan return, he hurriedly said, Sir, I saw that you know her, you two are friends, right? Quickly call and send her to the hospital. Her entire body was burning hot, she must have a fever.


    Xu Baohan bent down and touched her forehead, it was indeed extremely hot.


    Zhuang Tianya did not pass outpletely, her eyes were half-closed,rge drops of sweat were dripping down her forehead, her lips were pale.


    Do you still have strength? Xu Baohan asked darkly.


    Zhuang Tianya shook her head in a daze, her lips were trembling so much that she could not say a word.


    Xu Baohan remembered that her body was not very strong in the past, the slightest change in the weather would cause her to catch a cold easily, sometimes even a cough would take more than half a month to recover.


    He sighed helplessly and carried her to the hospital. Fortunately, there wasnt much traffic at this time and there were more taxis. They arrived at the emergency building of the nearby hospital in about ten minutes.


    The moment the emergency department heard that Zhuang Tianya had a fever, they immediately sent her to the clinic.


    There were blood draws and blood tests.


    At midnight, Zhuang Tianya was finally hooked up to an IV drip. It was probably because her fever had been too severe previously. After lying on the hospital bed, she was still in a daze and wasnt fully conscious.


    Even though Xu Baohan took the time to take the stomach medicine, he was still not feeling well. He had also drunk a lot of Baijiu and his head was hurting. He really wanted to go back, but Zhuang Tianya was still in a daze. If he didnt watch, no one would know that the IV drip was over.


    He wanted to contact Zhuang Tianyas family, but her phone was in her trouser pocket. It wouldnt be convenient for a man like him to take it.


    After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and reached into her pocket.


    Halfway through, Zhuang Tianya suddenly opened her eyes in a daze and looked at him.


    I want to use your phone to contact your parents, Xu Baohan exined. Have theme over to apany you.

 Chapter 1992. Baohan, You Dont Understand Women..,

    Chapter 1992. Baohan, You Don''t Understand Women..,


    My parents have recently gone on a trip abroad, Zhuang Tianya said with a dispirited voice and gaze. You can go back. Its alright, I can handle it myself.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips in silence.


    He wanted to leave, but it didnt seem like he could do so.


    What about your friends? He asked again.


    Its already sote, they must be asleep. Those who used to y well with me have also found boyfriends and gotten married. Its better not to disturb them, Zhuang Tianya said with a bitter smile, Im really fine, I know your stomach isnt feeling well, go home and rest. I remember you had stomach bleeding in the past and stayed in the hospital for a few days.


    Xu Baohan was slightly startled, recalling the past events. He was still working in the county. At that time, his position was small, so it was inevitable for him to drink and socialize. That time, he had stomach bleeding and stayed for three days. During those three days, she went to the county hospital to take care of him and his needs. It was also because of that time that he was moved and truly epted her.


    I didnt expect it to be so long in the blink of an eye, Zhuang Tianya suddenly said with aplicated tone.


    Okay. Xu Baohan quickly calmed down from his past memories. You should rest.


    You arent leaving? She looked at him.


    Ill leave after you finish the drip. Xu Baohan looked at the time. He could finish the drip at four oclocktest, and he could still rush back to sleep for a while.


    Thank you. Zhuang Tianya looked deeply at his handsome face under the light. Theres an empty bed by the side, you should rest for a while too.


    Xu Baohan was indeed very ufortable. Heid down and closed his eyes.


    Zhuang Tianya stared at his side profile for a long while before she averted her gaze.


    Xu Baohan had always been half asleep and half awake. He would wake up every now and then to take a look at the drip.


    It was not until four in the morning that the nurse came over to remove the needle.


    Ill go with you. Zhuang Tianya struggled to sit up from the bed. I want to go back too. I dont want to spend the night in the hospital.


    Xu Baohan nodded.


    The two of them took a taxi to the entrance of Zhuang Tianyas neighbourhood. Only then did Xu Baohan realize that her ce was really close. It was right across the street from his neighbourhood.


    He frowned. This was really troublesome. If An Lan found out about this, her imagination might run wild.


    But he couldnt just ask her to move away.


    Forget it, he would just stay at An Lans ce from now on. When the house was renovated next year, he would marry An Lan and move into the new house.


    Baohan, Im leaving, Zhuang Tianya turned back and said.


    Xu Baohan returned to his senses, nodded and turned to leave.


    Baohan, Zhuang Tianya suddenly called out to him.


    He turned back and frowned. Zhuang Tianya looked at him with aplicated expression, Baohan, Im sorry. Ive always felt rather guilty about what happened in the past, but at that time, I really had no choice. I only wanted to save my father. My father has always been very good to me, so I couldnt turn a blind eye to it. I didnt want my mother to cry all day long. You should know that if anything happened to anyone in the family, that family might just fall apart.


    Xu Baohan thought of his own home, but he didnt regret it, Everyone has their own choices. I didnt hate you, I just felt that our paths were different and we werent from the same world. Dont think too much about the past, since it is already in the past. Besides, we live so close to each other. If you see me with my girlfriend one day, I hope you can pretend that you dont know me. I dont want her to be unhappy.


    With that, he turned around and left.


    Zhuang Tianya looked at his back bitterly and muttered, Baohan, you dont understand women. Your girlfriend and I have talked before, she must have seen my photos in her Wechat moments. Its impossible that she doesnt know me.

 Chapter 1993. the First Time He Returned Late, He Was Caught Red-Handed

    Chapter 1993. the First Time He Returned Late, He Was Caught Red-Handed


    Xu Baohan opened the door to his house.


    The lights in the living room were on.


    He was stunned, a figure hurriedly stood up from the sofa in the living room.


    Xu Baohan, whats wrong with you? I couldnt get through to your phone. Where did you go sote at night? Do you know what time it is? An Lan scolded angrily, but her beautiful face couldnt hide her worry.


    She quickly walked up to him and looked him up and down. Are you alright? I was afraid that you would fall into a pit when you were drunk. I couldnt find you at the court in the morning, so I decided to call the police.


    Xu Baohan was stunned for a moment before a warm feeling rose in his heart. He smiled and said, You didnt say you wereing overst night.


    If I didnte over, you wouldnt be able to stay out all night and fool around. An Lans brows were tightly furrowed, I didnt n toe over, but I thought you were drunk and decided toe over. I didnt expect you to not be around when I came over at 12 am. I called Su Run to ask about your birthday colleague tonight, but he said you left at 10pm.


    Xu Baohan felt guilty and med himself. He didnt expect to be caught red-handed the first time he came homete.


    If he said that he apanied Zhuang Tianya to the hospital for an IV drip, she would definitely not let him off. Women were unreasonable when they are jealous.


    Why arent you speaking? An Lan narrowed her eyes. Did you do something to let me down


    I didnt, Xu Baohan immediately denied subconsciously.


    Then is it difficult to answer my question? An Lan tapped on her watch. Its almost five in the morning.


    I. . . I just drank too much Baijiu and my stomach hurt. Xu Baohan lowered his eyes and covered his stomach. I went to the hospital to have a look.


    An Lan saw that his expression was indeed not too good, so she did not doubt him. You were in the hospital for IV drip until sote?


    Yes. Xu Baohan could not help nodding. I fell asleep during IV drip; my phone was out of battery again.


    An Lan heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with heartache. Youre already so old, who told you to drink so much Baijiu? Why is your phone always out of battery? Cant you charge it at any time?


    This phone doesnt have much battery, Xu Baohan said as he took out his phone and looked at her.


    An Lan felt a little guilty. After all, she had bought this phone herself, if she had known earlier, she would have bought a more expensive model.


    Hows the battery of this phone? Ill buy you a new one next time, An Lan said vaguely.


    Its alright, Ill buy you a new phone next time. Ill just use your old phone, Xu Baohan said with a slight smile. To me, a phone is just a function to answer calls and watch the news.


    Its good to have such awareness. An Lan nodded in appreciation. Is your stomach feeling better now?


    Much better. Xu Baohan patted her head. Have you been waiting for me?


    Nonsense, how can I sleep if youre not back? An Lan snorted. Im still wondering if you drank too much and got seduced by another woman.


    Do I look like a man who can be seduced so easily? Xu Baohan tapped her forehead. You dont trust me that much.


    Its not that I dont trust you, Im mainly afraid that other women will rape you. An Lan cupped his face. After all, youre so handsome and charming, women wont be able to control themselves.


    Youre the only one who cant control yourself. Xu Baohan smiled. Its almost dawn, Ill go take a shower first, then sleep for a while before going to work.


    Since you have a stomachache, I think its better for you to take medical leave, An Lan said.


    No, we have an open court session in the morning. Xu Baohan shook his head at her. Its fine, Im much better now.

 Chapter 1994. He Lied Last Night

    Chapter 1994. He Lied Last Night


    An Lan sighed. Sometimes, her heart ached for him and his workload.


    Probably because he was really tired, Xu Baohan went to bed after showering.


    An Lan was also tired and woke up soon after.


    After an unknown amount of time, her body felt like it was being hugged by someone.


    She opened her eyes slightly and realized that it was already dawn outside. There were two hands around her waist and Xu Baohans head was rubbing against her cheek.


    Dont be noisy, she turned around and mumbled.


    Xu Baohan leaned over and kissed her gently and intimately.


    I didnt brush my teeth, An Lan evaded vaguely.


    Its alright, I have to go to work. Xu Baohan raised his hand and pinched her cheek, annoyed that he couldnt spend more time with her.


    An Lan was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered that he had gone for an IV drip, but she didnt see any needle marks on this hand. She nced over and looked at the back of his other hand, but she didnt see any.


    She was a little confused. wasnt IV drip usually done on the hand.


    Are youing tonight? Xu Baohan asked as he hugged her tightly.


    Mm Ill see how it goes, An Lan answered vaguely. She felt that she might not have fully woken up, and her mind was a little slow right now.


    Remember to tell me when youreing. Xu Baohan really didnt want to leave her side in the middle of winter, but there was nothing he could do.


    Okay, you should go to work, An Lan urged.


    Ill make you breakfast before you leave. Xu Baohan brushed away the stray strands of hair on her forehead.


    No need. An Lan felt sorry that he didnt restst night. Youre tired too, Ill just eat some noodlester.


    Im tired, but youre tired too, youve been waiting for me at home. Xu Baohan kissed her again before he went to wash up and change his clothes.


    After the bedroom fell silent, An Lan couldnt fall asleep under the nket. She could clearly remember that Xu Baohan had not noticed any needle marks on the back of his hand ever since he entered the room. Could it be that he had liedst night? He didnt have IV drip treatment, he wasnt going to the hospital either.


    Then where had he been.


    The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She sat up and walked towards the bathroom.


    He came back toote in the morning, his clothes were still in the basket. She reached into his pocket and found a hospital bill. The patients name was Zhuang Tianya, and the time of payment was 1 am.


    This meant that he did not receive IV drip himself, but was apanying Zhuang Tianya as she got the drip herself yesterday.


    An Lan stood there in a daze for a long time before she lowered her head to sniff at the sweater inside. There was indeed an unfamiliar female fragrance.


    Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from outside the bedroom. She hurriedly stuffed the list back in, and Xu Baohan walked in.


    They looked at each other, his eyes flickering. Going to the toilet?


    Yes. An Lan nodded. She wasnt in a hurry to expose him, but wanted to see what he wanted to do.


    Ive made congee for you, you can eat it when you wake up, Xu Baohan said as he picked up the clothes in the basket. Ill throw my clothes into the washing machine to wash them. Remember to help me dry them when the timees.


    Just leave them there, Ill wash them for youter, An Lan said as she pursed her lips.


    Dont you have to go to work too? Xu Baohan picked up his clothes and walked over.


    An Lan looked at his back and felt a slight pain in her breathing.


    Why did he have to lie to her.


    Didnt he say that he wouldnt be in contact with Zhuang Tianya anymore? Why did he still apany her for IV drip treatment until five in the morning? What did he mean by that.


    Not only that, he even lied to her.


    Didnt he think about how worried she wasst night.


    After Xu Baohan left, An Lan didnt sleep.


    She was tired and sleepy before, but now she was no longer sleepy.

 Chapter 1995. Does He Really Have No More Feelings For Zhuang Tianya?

    Chapter 1995. Does He Really Have No More Feelings For Zhuang Tianya?


    When she was wandering alone in the living room like a ghost, she found a box of stomach medicine that had not been opened for a long time on the table. It seemed that it was taken it twice.


    It seemed that the stomachachest night was real. He could even apany her to the IV drip treatment. He was really working hard.


    He had always been a cold and heartless person.


    Did he really not have any feelings for Zhuang Tianya in his current state?


    Speaking of which, he should be free to look around rtionship even if he has a girlfriend. After all, unless the timees when a man has to get married before he finds a partner to make do with the rest of his life.


    It just so happened that he had met her rather attractive self on a blind date. He was moved, but could she bepared to his ex-girlfriend? She didnt know if his ex-girlfriend was unforgettable or not.


    From the short conversation they hadst time, she could feel that this Zhuang Tianya was definitely not someone to be trifled with. It looked like she had broken up with Tang Zheng and was unwilling to ept it. She wanted to get back with Xu Baohan.


    At ten in the morning, An Lan sat in her office, absent-mindedly flipping through documents and drinking coffee.


    Li Shuang rushed over, How are your preparations for Deng Zhichengs case going? I couldnt control myself andpletely fell out with himst night. He actually dared to snatch the child from me. He usually doesnt apany the child all day long, how could I be at ease to let him take care of Eh, did you not sleep wellst night? Why are your dark circles so huge?


    Yes, I worked overtime till veryte. An Lan rubbed her eyes.


    Dont work too hard. Youve earned quite a lot of money too. For now, you should spend more time with your boyfriend, Li Shuang said unhappily, Last night, that bastard Deng Zhicheng actually said that he cheated on me because I didnt spend enough time with him. He even said that I gave my time to the child and didnt care about him at all. I was so fucking angry that I wanted to p him to death. The child isnt mine alone. I did it for him for the sake of this family. This evil creature, why was I so blind back then?


    Men are so selfish sometimes, An Lan smirked sarcastically.


    Yeah, he even asked me to forgive him. For the sake of the child, he even said that he wouldnt have any interactions with Tang Shan anymore. Bah, he even bought the house. How can I swallow this anger in my heart? The more Li Shuang thought about it, the more agitated she became. She mmed the table loudly, I told him that I want the child and two-thirds of the property. The house and the car all belong to me. Otherwise, I will fight him to the death.


    After venting, Li Shuang suddenly noticed that An Lan was not moving at all. She did not say a word, and she became nervous. Dont tell me that I have no chance of winning.


    No, An Lan shook her head, her brows furrowed with worry. I just feel that its really hard to exin the matters of love. He used to love you very much, but in the end, he changed just like that.


    Yes, Li Shuang nodded, the corners of her eyes turning red. But thats normal. The temptation outside is too great now, and perhaps the flowers at home arent as fragrant as wildflowers. It really doesnt matter if a man cheats on his wife or not.


    An Lan pinched the space between her brows.


    But dont worry, Xu Baohan wont, Li Shuang consoled him. Hes already an old man, he probably wants to get married and be a father. Besides, if he dares to let you down, you can go to court and cause a ruckus, causing his reputation to be ruined.


    An Lan smiled. Were not married.


    Anyway, lets be clear about it. Li Shuang sighed. Marriage is a lifelong thing, dont be too hasty.


    If I was too hasty, I would have already gotten married. An Lan sighed and smiled bitterly, I was just too serious. I wanted to find someone who only had me in his heart, but I neglected it. Men my age or older than me are like travelers who have traveled a long distance and experienced storms. They are tired and jaded, and they just want to find a safe haven to live in.

 Chapter 1996. Not About Romance, Its About Your Ex-girlfriend

    Chapter 1996. Not About Romance, It''s About Your Ex-girlfriend


    Li Shuang was stunned. No matter how slow she was, she could sense that something was wrong. What happened to you today? Did you have a fight with Xu Baohan?


    An Lan rubbed the space between her brows. He lied to me about into apanying his ex-girlfriend while she got an IV drip treatment.


    Li Shuangs mouth fell wide open. After a while, she mmed the table. Damn, I thought he was thoughtful and considerate the other day when he made breakfast for you. Hes too cheap. If I were you, I would break his bones.


    His ex-girlfriend must have a fever. An Lan sighed. I asked Doctor Han. The medicine on the bill in his trouser pocket is for fever and inmmation.


    Then what do you n to do? Li Shuang asked. Do you want me to introduce you to a private detective? Hes very professional and skilled.


    An Lan coughed lightly, Theres no need for that. Were not married yet. Actually, I have a general understanding. Xu Baohan is a responsible man. He may look cold, but hes actually a soft person inside. I guess his ex-girlfriend must have gotten close to him on purpose. Im angry and sad because he still doesnt know whats going on and even lied to me for that woman.


    Li Shuang sneered, Men usually lie because they have a guilty conscience. An Lan, I believe in you. You will definitely find that little bitch and give her a good beating.


    Whats the use of torturing her sometimes? An Lan muttered, A mans heart can be seduced. It can only be said that he is not strong-willed. Even if he is not seduced today, he will be seduced sooner orter. However, it is only a matter of time. I dont want to fight for it, but if someone dares to bully me, I will definitely not let her off easily.


    An Lan, I dont think the two of you should consider getting married for now, Li Shuang said after some thought, Youve waited for so many years, theres no need for you to be so hard on yourself. If the worstes to worst, you can just wait a little longer. Married life is different from living alone, it will be even more difficult, especially after having children. If your rtionship isnt stable, it will be even more painful after marriage. Frankly speaking, even though Xu Baohan is very good-looking and his job isnt bad, he might be a unicorn in our eyes, but you arent bad either. You have money, a house, a car, apany, and looks, and all of these were obtained by yourself. With such an identity, you are much more outstanding thanmany men.


    I know. An Lan smiled.


    After Li Shuang left, when An Lan was about to go out in the afternoon, Yan Wen had just received a bouquet of flowers from the door.


    This is from Tang Zheng again? An Lan asked.


    Yes. Yan Wen felt a little guilty. After all, An Lan had asked her to shred the flowers. She felt that they were too beautiful and couldnt bear to part with them.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows and took a card from it. I remember that Tang Zheng left a business cardst time. Bring me the card.


    Yes, you should make a phone call and make it clear. Its not a good idea to always send flowers like this. Yan Wen nodded and quickly found the business card for her.


    After An Lan got into the car, she directly dialed Tang Zhengs number. Im An Lan.


    Oh, Lawyer An, the sun has risen from the west. You actually took the initiative to contact me. Why, are you finally moved by my flowers? Tang Zhengs giggling voice could be heard.


    Lets have dinner together tonight. I have something to talk to you about, An Lan said with a faint smile. Its not about romance, its about your ex-girlfriend.


    After the phone went silent for a while, Tang Zhengs voice suddenly turned cold. What, could it be that she went to look for Xu Baohan?


    I like to talk in person, An Lan said.


    Okay. Tang Zheng immediately made an appointment with her.


    The two of them met at a high-end, elegant western-style restaurant.

 Chapter 1997. Im Very Grateful to You, But Theres No way I Can Fall in Love With You

    Chapter 1997. I''m Very Grateful to You, But There''s No way I Can Fall in Love With You


    At 6pm, the restaurant was filled with melodious piano music, but neither of them seemed to be in the mood to enjoy it.


    Lawyer An doesnt look too good, Tang Zheng said happily. He recalled how badly he had been humiliated by her when he had gone to look for her, but he had never thought that she would end up like this.., Looks like Xu Baohan hasnt been treating you right. Why dont you stay with me, I promise


    I promise I will take revenge on your ex-girlfriend, An Lan interrupted him, her tone cold. Its been so long, but you havent improved at all. You seem to be the same age as me, can you not be so childish?


    Tang Zheng was so angry that his face was twisted. An Lan, dont forget that youre the one who asked me to meet you.


    You send flowers every day, arent you just waiting for me to ask you out? An Lan held up her wine ss and chuckled. Could it be that youre sending flowers because youre stupid and have a lot of money?


    Tang Zheng was furious. Dont go too far, do you believe that Ill leave right now?


    If I leave, how will you achieve your goal? An Lan raised her wine ss and took a sip.


    Tang Zheng was stunned. He crossed his arms. Something happened between you and Xu Baohan. Is it because of Zhuang Tianya? That woman has always been fond of Xu Baohan. When she was with me, she would take Xu Baohans gifts to look at and remember him


    An Lan raised her eyebrows. As expected, Zhuang Tianya hade prepared. So how did you break up? She couldnt forget her ex-boyfriend and dumped you?


    Tang Zheng red at her, and An Lan opened her red lips. To be honest, youve been pestering me this whole time. Its obvious that you cant forget your ex-girlfriend. Youre also trying to sow discord between Xu Baohan and me. Now is the best opportunity.


    Tang Zheng was a little speechless. Youre the smartest femalewyer Ive ever met.


    I think its also the one you hate the most. An Lan smiled faintly. Its hard for you to use me to deal with Xu Baohan.


    Tang Zheng sighed. This woman was too clear-headed.., To be precise, I was forced to get rid of her. I helped the Zhuang family and allowed Zhuang Tianya to be with me, but no matter how well I treated her, there was always another person hiding in her heart. She wasnt willing to sleep with me, and she wasnt happy to go out on a date with me. She didnt wear the things I gave her, and would rather go out with her friends to watch a movie than be with me


    He continued. Whats the point of two people living such a life together? Ive sacrificed so much for her. Back then, when her father almost went to jail, I was the one who looked for connections to help her. It was our Tang family who helped the Zhuang family, and her fatherspany was able to turn things around..,


    I did it all for her, but Xu Baohan didnt do anything, and in her eyes, I am still not better than him no matter what. How could I be happy? I was like being with a puppet. Thats right, I was despicable, and I took advantage of the situation when she was at her most helpless.., But everyone gets what they want. Im a businessman, not a phnthropist. Ive given my all, you must repay me.


    So you broke up, but you werent happy in your heart. This was the first time An Lan looked closely at Tang Zheng. She suddenly realized that he wasnt that annoying, at least he was truly infatuated with her.


    Yes, I lost miserably. Tang Zheng shrugged helplessly, After it ended, she cried and told me that she was very grateful to me, but she couldnt fall in love with me no matter what. Heh, since you couldnt fall in love with me, then why didnt you tell me earlier? I definitely wouldnt have helped her father.


    An Lan didnt know whether to sympathize with him more or to despise Zhuang Tianya more. Is she that good? Why did you put in so much effort to get her?

 Chapter 1998. I Used you, Arent You Always Used by Others Anyway?

    Chapter 1998. I Used you, Aren''t You Always Used by Others Anyway?


    Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment before shaking his head, I dont know either. My mother and her mother used to be good friends. I was a few years older than her and had brought her along to y since I was young. I watched her grow from a little girl into a tall and gracefuldy. Unknowingly, my heart was moved. Even the parents of both families often joked that they would let her marry me when she grew up. I always thought that she should be my wife, but that year, she met Xu Baohan and everything changed. She happily told me that she had fallen in love with someone else and even brought Xu Baohan home


    Tang Zheng gulped down a mouthful of red wine hastily, At that time, I even had the thought of crippling Xu Baohan, but no matter how much I confessed to her, woo her, she wouldnt agree. I wasnt willing to let it go. I thought she should be mine and I treated her so well since she was young, but in the end, she said she only treated me as her older brother. My mother advised me to forget about it, but after that incident at the Zhuang family, I found an opportunity


    An Lan turned the cup in her hand with mixed emotions. So now that things havee to this, are you still unwilling to let it go, or do you still like her?


    Tang Zheng was stunned, but then he said angrily, Is that important? Whats important is that I feel like a fool. I hate her, and I hate Xu Baohan.


    If I were you, I would wait until her father is in jail and her familyspany copses before reaching out to help her. Only when she is in despair, when shepletely hates Xu Baohan, and you reach out to her, will she truly be grateful to you, and only then will she truly hate Xu Baohan, An Lan suddenly said, But you forced her to leave Xu Baohan for her family. She wouldnt be grateful to you, she would only feel even more guilty towards Xu Baohan.


    Tang Zhengs body trembled slightly. So was I wrong?


    You were wrong, An Lan said bluntly, You forced a person you didnt like to date you, but you didnt have the courage to bear the consequences. After that, you still hated her for not loving you. Why would she love you? Was it because you helped her? That was just gratitude. Gratitude is hard to maintain a rtionship for a lifetime. Youre asking for it.


    Are you speaking up for Zhuang Tianya? Tang Zhengs face was full of sarcasm. Didnt you say that Zhuang Tianya got close to Xu Baohan again? You should hate her. The two of us dating will definitely be a blow to them.


    I would never use such a method. An Lan shook her head, Those who can be easily tempted shouldnt be cherished. I dont need to be with someone I dont like just to annoy them. This method is stupid. Besides, I heard you say that a woman like Zhuang Tianya isnt qualified to be my opponent.


    She stood up after saying that. And to be honest, you really dont have a good eye for liking such a woman, Mr. Tang.


    Tang Zheng was annoyed. Why did you ask me out today?


    To understand Zhuang Tianyas true purpose and character. An Lan shrugged and took out a few bills from her wallet. Ive already understood it.


    Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment before heughed in anger. You used me.


    Thats right, I used you. Anyway, havent you always been used by others? An Lan nodded.


    Tang Zheng was stunned. An Lan picked up her bag and looked at his injured appearance. She sighed. Mr. Tang, actually, youre not that annoying. Next time, be more careful.


    With that, she left in her high heels.

 Chapter 1999. Im Not Feeling too Well Today

    Chapter 1999. I''m Not Feeling too Well Today


    Tang Zheng stared at her back nkly for a while before looking away. He realized that she had left enough money to pay for this meal.


    He suddenly smiled. He had not expected a woman to treat him to a meal.


    An Lan returned to the car and sat alone for a while before she received a call from Xu Baohan.


    The phone rang for a while before she picked it up.


    An Lan, are youing over today? Xu Baohans voice came through the receiver, sounding weak. It was different from before.


    Im noting over, An Lan replied coldly. She did not want to see him at the moment.


    Work again? Xu Baohan was a little disappointed. Im not feeling well today.


    An Lan was stunned and asked unwillingly, Whats wrong with you, your stomach?


    No, I seem to be feverish, Xu Baohan said weakly.


    An Lan fell silent.


    She had asked Doctor Han this morning. The medicine that Zhuang Tianya had prescribed yesterday was for fever. Doctor Han had said that there had been a lot of flu patients in the hospital recently, and coincidentally, Xu Baohan was also feverish.., Why did you suddenly have a fever? The flu in Xia city seems to be quite rampant recently. Did you infect someone?


    Xu Baohan felt guilty on the other end of the phone. After going to work today, he felt light-headed in the afternoon and his entire body felt extremely ufortable. He was usually in good health, but he rarely looked like this. He also felt that he might have been infected in the hospital in the early morning, of course, it wasnt necessarily Zhuang Tianya. After all, she had gone to the clinic yesterday and there were many patients with fevering in and out. It was also possible that she had been infected then.


    HMM its possible. There are usually a lot of peopleing in and out of the clinic. It might really be from someone, Xu Baohan said vaguely, Since it might be contagious, its better if you donte over. Ill go to the clinic to grab some medicer.


    Alright, call me when youre better then, An Lans lips curled into a mocking smile.


    Xu Baohan was startled. He had said earlier that it was just a stomachache, but she had been so nervous. Why did she seem so cold now.


    Even though it might be contagious, as her girlfriend, she shouldnt be like this. She wasnt like her usual self, and she didnt even care if he ate or not at this hour.


    Moreover, he was really suffering. At this moment, he wished that she was by his side, even if she was wearing a mask.


    But perhaps he was too selfish. Having a fever was indeed very painful for a man like him.


    Okay, goodbye, Im going to the hospital.


    After hanging up, Xu Baohan struggled to get up and prepared to take a taxi from the courthouse. It was impossible for him to drive like this.


    In the car, An Lan looked at her phone for a long time before she finally started the car and drove home.


    Along the way, the word fever lingered in her mind.


    In the end, she was still worried, so she turned the car around and went to the hospital near Xu Baohans house.


    After Xu Baohan arrived at the hospitals emergency room, he started to feel even more ufortable. Even his stomach started to churn, and in the end, he couldnt take it anymore and threw up beside the rubbish bin.


    After waiting in line for so long, he had to take his own blood again. After taking his blood, he had to send it to another floor for testing. He ran up and down to get the results. When he went downstairs, he was leaning against the railing and was on the verge of copsing.


    Baohan, its really you.


    Zhuang Tianyas voice came from behind him.


    Before he could turn around, a hand was already supporting him. Zhuang Tianyas concerned face appeared in front of him.

 Chapter 2000. It Was Her First Time Seen Him Being So Weak

    Chapter 2000. It Was Her First Time Seen Him Being So Weak


    Bo Han, whats wrong? Zhuang Tianya reached out to touch his forehead. Its so hot, you have a fever too. Could it be that I infected youst night?


    Xu Baohan pulled his arm back and sat on the stairs to rest. He didnt even have the strength to speak.


    Im sorry, its all because of me. Zhuang Tianya bent down, her face full of guilt and worry. You shouldnt have bothered about me yesterday.


    Even if she was just a stranger, I would have sent her to the hospital. Xu Baohan closed his eyes and replied with difficulty in breathing. Why are you here?


    Did you forget? Yesterday, the doctor told me to take the drip for three days straight, I just finished it. Zhuang Tianya took the examination report from his hands. Ill apany you to the Doctor.


    No need. Xu Baohan pushed her, he didnt want to have too much contact with her. I can do it myself.


    Dont try to be brave. I had a fever yesterday too, I know how ufortable it is, Zhuang Tianya said. The virus has mutated now, the cold and fever are much more ufortable than before.


    Xu Baohan didnt have any strength at all. At this moment, he probably couldnt even crush an egg. When Zhuang Tianya helped him down the stairs, he didnt have the strength to resist at all.


    By the way, youre sick like this. Wheres your girlfriend? Zhuang Tianya asked. Why didnt shee over to apany you?


    Shes working.


    Zhuang Tianya frowned when she heard that. She wasnt too happy. Youre sick, why is she still working? Is work more important or you? Does she know that you have a cold?


    Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips. He was frustrated. He had a headache, but now it was like an electric drill. At the same time, his heart was throbbing.


    It was fine if An Lan didnt know, but she knew.


    This is a problem between us. He nced at Zhuang Tianya coldly. I dont like people talking about her.


    Im not talking about her, Im just Zhuang Tianya bit her lip. I wasnt feeling well yesterday, I know how ufortable it is. Even if youre a man, when youre sick youre just an ordinary person. Forget it, I wont talk about it.


    There was silence on their way to the hospital. They waited outside the doctors door for a while, then both of them entered.


    After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Zhuang Tianya snatched Xu Baohans treatment card. Sit down, Ill go get the medicine.


    Xu Baohan frowned. Just as he opened his mouth, Zhuang Tianya interrupted him. You helped me yesterday, Ill take it as Im returning it to you today. Besides, dont try to be brave, I know you cant even walk properly.


    Xu Baohan closed his eyes. His body was no longer under his control, so he could only let her be.


    After Zhuang Tianya fetched the IV drip, she sent him for infusion treatment.


    After the nurse finished inserting the syringe, Xu Baohany on the recliner to rest, his eyes closed as he slept.


    Zhuang Tianya stood guard at the side for a while, but he didnt notice when she left.


    He didnt know how much time had passed, but he felt a warm palm on his forehead. The feeling of this palm was very familiar, so familiar that he was in a daze. But soon, he vaguely remembered that there was only Zhuang Tianya by his side.


    He immediately raised his hand and removed the hand on h forehead. He opened his dark eyes, and when he saw the person standing beside him clearly, he was stunned, thinking that he had gone crazy from the fever.


    Why are you looking at me like that? You dont even recognize me. An Lan looked at him with aplicated feeling. There was a traffic jam on the way there, and when she arrived at the hospital, she guessed that he might need an IV drip, so she directly looked for him and did not want to contact him. She didnt expect that she would find him.


    Usually, he looked strong and healthy. Now, his face was as pale as wax paper, his lips were dry, and his eyes were vacant. This was the first time she had seen him so weak.

 Chapter 2001. He Was a Big Pigs Trotter, Why Would He Eat it.

    Chapter 2001. He Was a Big Pig''s Trotter, Why Would He Eat it.


    It would be a lie to say that she didnt feel sorry for him, but she wanted to scold him for what he deserved.


    She stared at him without blinking, her beautiful brows furrowing uncontrobly.


    Xu Baohan was in a daze for a moment, then he quickly used all his strength to sit up. An Lan, why are you here?


    Didnt you say that you wanted toe to the hospital for treatment? An Lan nced at him, there wasnt even a bottle of mineral water. She didnt know whether to sympathize with him more or feel sorry for him more.


    Dont you have to work? Xu Baohan heard her and smiled, his dark eyes shining brightly.


    Youre not busy anymore?


    An Lan frowned and didnt say anything.


    Xu Baohan reached out to pull her towards him, he smiled with his pale face. Work is more important than me, right?


    An Lan nced at his hand that was grabbing hers and pulled it back gently. Have you eaten dinner? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry?


    She asked a few questions in a row, this made Xu Baohans smile brighten. I havent eaten, Im thirsty and hungry.


    Then Ill go to the door and buy some for you. An Lan turned around and walked towards the door.


    At this moment, a young woman in jeans, ck jeans, and long hair walked in. She was carrying some food and fruits.


    Both of them nced at each other briefly, and the other person quickly looked at Xu Baohan behind her and smiled. Baohan, youre awake. I saw that you were asleep, so I went to the door and prepared two dishes for you. There are your favourite pig trotters.


    There were other IV drip recipients in the ward. They had long noticed that a beautiful woman stayed by Xu Baohans side, and now she was here again. Now that they had bumped into each other, immediately people were whispering to each other as if they were watching a show.


    The moment Xu Baohan saw Zhuang Tianya appeared, his body stiffened as if someone had pressed his acupoints.


    His body, which was initially boiling, suddenly felt a sudden drop in his body temperature. He felt a chill down his spine, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.


    An Lan recognized Zhuang Tianya at the door earlier. She saw her WeChat moments before.


    She turned to look at Xu Baohan, feeling both angry and amused. She had been worried so she came over, but now that he had an ex-girlfriend to apany him. It didnt matter whether she apanied him or not.


    She even bought his favourite pigs trotters, Hehe, he was a big pigs trotters, why would he eat pigs trotters.


    Did he want toplement his form by eating the pigs trotters?


    She wanted to turn back and give him a few tight ps.


    Calling him a B*Stard would be letting him off easy.


    Xu Baohan saw An Lans gaze and he felt like stabbing himself to death with a needle. An Lan, dont misunderstand, I identally bumped into her when I first came to the hospital. She caught a cold too.


    Zhuang Tianya turned to look at An Lan. This was the first time she had seen An Lan. An Lan did not have the habit of posting her photo on WeChat moments. However, when she first saw her at the entrance, she had a faint premonition that she was the person


    Hes telling the truth. Zhuang Tianya forced a smile. The flu has been quite severe recently. Ive been receiving IV drip infusion treatment in the hospital for the past two days. I bumped into him right after I finished the drip. He looked like he could barely stand on the stairs alone.


    An Lan smiled as well. Then its indeed fate. It just so happens that both of you have the flu.


    Xu Baohans heart started to race the moment he heard that. An Lan wouldnt suspect that he infected Zhuang Tianya with the flu, right? Recently its indeed quite serious. You should have bought a mask at the door when you first came in. Dont get infected too.


    An Lanughed in her heart. He was still trying to hide it from her at this time. Did he think her brain was muddled by SH*t?

 Chapter 2002. Miss Zhuang, How Should I Describe a Person Like You

    Chapter 2002. Miss Zhuang, How Should I Describe a Person Like You


    However, even if she was boiling with anger, she would not argue with Xu Baohan at this moment.


    Dont worry, I will buy a maskter. An Lans eyes shed with a hint of darkness. She turned back at Zhuang Tianya and smiled, Thank you for taking care of him, but he has a fever and a cold now, it shouldnt be appropriate for him to eat greasy pig trotters. You can eat by yourself, I will buy him something lightter.


    Zhuang Tianya was stunned, pursing her red lips. I dont think so, he used to eat the same when he was sick.


    Xu Baohan was anxious when he heard that. Zhuang Tianya was talking about the past, didnt that make An Lan even more annoyed? Miss Zhuang, thank you for your kindness, but I dont have an appetite now, and I dont like eating pork trotters as much as I used to.


    Zhuang Tianyas expression froze, then she lowered her gaze and nodded. I see, Alright then.


    You can go back now. Xu Baohan turned his face away. Ive troubled you today, my girlfriend is here, she will take care of me.


    Thats what I thought too, Zhuang Tianya turned to An Lan, Bo Han is a good person, I hope you can treat him better. Work is important, but so is your boyfriend being sick. Maybe I shouldnt meddle in other peoples business, but he couldnt even stand properly just now.


    She ced the fruits she bought on the chair and left.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows and followed her out.


    An Lan, where are you going? Xu Baohan was anxious. She wasnt going to argue with Zhuang Tianya, right?


    You lie down, Ille back to youter. An Lan walked out of the ward and called out to the back. Miss Zhuang, please wait.


    Zhuang Tianya turned around and saw her frowning. Anything else?


    Im not going to beat around the bush, An Lan said calmly. Youre trying to get back Xu Baohan, right?


    Dont you think youre too nervous? Zhuang Tianya smiled. I told you, I only met him by chance. Dont tell me that you have no confidence in the rtionship between the two of you?


    An Lan sized up the woman in front of her. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear, neither fierce nor ostentatious, but she had to admit that Xu Baohans ex-girlfriend was not bad looking, Its not that I dont have confidence, but if Xu Baohan is a freshly baked delicious cake, then youre just a fly hovering around the cake, do you understand?


    Zhuang Tianya was furious when she heard that, mes spewing out of her eyes. Dont go too far, I dont have any grudges with you. Even if I didnt meet Xu Baohan today, if it was anyone else I knew, I would have helped.


    Do you think its interesting to pretend that youre always the victim? An Lans lips curled into a cold smile, When Xu Baohan couldnt help your parents, you kicked him aside and you ran into another mans embrace. When the other man saved your parents, and then you started to reminisce about your past love. Even if you dont love someone who saved your family and helped you, you should at least show them gratitude and respect. You dismissed the person who helped you just because you said you couldnt fall in love with him. Miss Zhuang, how should I describe a person like you?


    Zhuang Tianya took a deep breath, bit her lips and red at her. You bumped into Tang Zheng, didnt you? You dont know about anything. Youre not the person involved, and youre not me.


    If I were you, even if I didnt love that person, but if the person poured his heart and soul into being kind to me and helping my family, I would at least respect him and give him what he wants. Only then would I leave without feeling guilty. An Lan smirked.

 Chapter 2003. You Are A Man of Lies

    Chapter 2003. You Are A Man of Lies


    After you used him, you said you couldnt fall in love with him. Why didnt you say that before? When you were with your boyfriend, you took your ex-boyfriend things and thought of him. If you were to say that you let go of Xu Baohan, I wouldnt believe it.


    An Lan continued to mock her.


    Zhuang Tianya was so angry that tears burst out of her eyes, If you werent there, you wouldnt understand how others feel. You dont even understand how painful it was for me to leave Bo Han, but I had no choice. I had to save my family. Do you understand what its like to be a child of somebody else? Do you understand what its like to be with someone you dont love, but to force yourself to ept that person? Youre just saying that its easy. Thats right, I cant let go of Ah Han, but I know he wont be able to return to be with me. He has you now, so why are you being so aggressive?


    An Lan snickered. This woman was something. She made it like she was deliberately bullying her. If you let go, then dont appear in front of him. You know best whether you met him on purpose or by ident.


    I dont know why youre so nervous. Are you not confident in your rtionship, or are you not confident in Ah Han? Zhuang Tianya smiled sadly.


    I just think youre making my eyesore, An Lan said coldly.


    Im sorry, its not up to you to decide where I am, and Xia City isnt yours, Zhuang Tianya said angrily and left.


    An Lan turned around and walked to the door of the ward. She saw Xu Baohan leaning against the door, one arm holding the medicine.


    He looked at her for a few seconds before saying softly, An Lan, I think you went a little too far just now. You dont have to be so nervous. Shes just an insignificant person to me. It was a coincidence that we met at the hospital.


    An Lan was not surprised that he was standing there.


    Either he was curious about what the two women had said, or was he worried that she would bully Zhuang Tianya.


    Its not easy for you, An Lan crossed her arms and leaned against the doorsill, smiling as she said, Youre still worried about your ex-girlfriend even though you had a high fever.


    Im not worried about her, Xu Baohan said while catching his breath.


    Dont say youre worried about me, An Lan said with a smile. Dont you know who I am? Ive never suffered a loss before.


    Xu Baohan opened his mouth and fell silent. Indeed, she was such a person and knew how to protect herself. I dont think its necessary. Theres really no need.


    Since youve said so much thats true, lets talk about the lies, An Lan said indifferently. Im more curious about the lies youve told me.


    Xu Baohan stared at her. An Lan, Ive never betrayed you, not in my body, not in my heart, I swear.


    You dont want to tell me? An Lan frowned, disappointed, Since youre not going to tell me, then Ill tell you that your stomachache and IV dripst night was fake. In fact, you are apanying Zhuang Tianya for her IV drip infusion treatment. Your cold was fake in the court, but it was real that you infected Zhuang Tianya. As for today, Im no longer sure whether its real or fake because youre a man full of lies. I dont know if I should believe you or not.


    Xu Baohan was stunned. His handsome face turned even paler after a moment of awkwardness.


    Are you curious as to why I know about this?


    An Lan smiled bitterly, Its mainly because you didnt expect me toe to your cest night.. You were flustered and didnt think twice before lying. You said you were going to IV drip infusion treatment, can you please make some cuts on yourself for the IV drip? Also, can you throw away the bill for your ex-girlfriends medical fees which was kept in your pocket? Judge Xu, youre dealing with all kinds of evidence, can you be more professional?

    Chapter 2004. If You Was So Great, Why Didn''t You Be a Saint


    An Lan, stop ridiculing me. Xu Baohan raised his left hand to cover his forehead. It turned out that she had been suspicious since this morning.


    He suddenly felt that the lie he had told earlier was rather ridiculous and embarrassing.


    Last night, I bumped into Zhuang Tianya when I was buying some gastric medicine from the pharmacy at the entrance. She was buying some flu medicine, but when I was about to leave, she fainted and fell to the ground. I had no choice, so I sent her to the hospital. She didnt have any strength at all, and her symptoms were simr to mine today. I wanted to contact her family, but her parents had left the country


    Thats why you stayed at the hospital to wait for her to finish her IV drip. An Lan was getting more and more flustered as she listened. She felt that it wasughable.  So when I was so worried at home yesterday, you were waiting for your other ex-girlfriend.


    An Lan, dont say that. I would have done the same even if it was anyone else, Xu Baohan exined weakly. She was asleep at that time, and she was receiving IV drip infusion treatment


    An Lan felt as her throat was being pricked. He was cold on his appearance but warm on the inside. She knew it from the moment he helped people in the mental hospital.


    In the past, she liked that about him, but now, she was disgusted.


    Xu Baohan, if youre so great, why dont you be a Saint? An Lan mocked, Oh right, your ex-girlfriend said that even if it wasnt you today, she would do the same if she saw anyone she knew falling sick. The two of you have quite a tacit understanding, youre a perfect match. In the past, I thought we were quite a good match, but now I realize that Im not the best match for you.


    An Lan, dont be like this, I was wrong, I promise I wont lie anymore. Xu Baohans body was getting more and more ufortable.


    It wasnt just his body, but also his heart.


    He reached out to shake her hand but was easily shaken off by her.


    An Lan pointed at the other IV drip infusion treatment patients in the ward, she said, Guess what they are looking at, they must think that you are very lucky with women. Not long ago, a beautiful woman apanied you, and after that, another came. Unfortunately, now that both of them have met and capsized, they must think that you deserve it. Xu Baohan, I felt very funny and embarrassed, do you know that?


    Xu Baohan looked at her nkly, An Lan, I only know that I didnt do anything wrong to you. I was so happy to see you here just now. I thought Zhuang Tianya had left long ago. Thats right, I shouldnt have lied to you yesterday, but if I told you the truth, you would definitely be angry too


    Since you knew that I would be angry, why did you insist on guarding her? If she fainted, you could have just sent her to the ambnce, An Lan was angrier as she spoke, The whole of China is so big. Every day, there would be people fainting on the road and being sent to the hospital. Every day, there would be people in the hospital alone without anyone to take care of them, and they wouldnt die. There are so many nurses in the hospital who only know how to stay in their offices and y with their phones. They have eyes. Even if the medical staff were to be negligent and put a syringe in their hands and drip some myrrh on Zhuang Tianya, she wouldnt die. At most, there would be some blood. When she wakes up from the pain, she would ring the bell. Why do you need to care so much about her? Who are you?


    Xu Baohan felt a headacheing on. He was a judge, so he could make sense of what thewyer said, but he couldnt make sense of anything at this moment.


    An Lan took a deep breath, she said sorrowfully, Xu Baohan, its not like I didnt have a fever before. Its not like I never get the IV drip infusion treatment alone in the hospital in the middle of the night. Ive experienced whatever I have said just now, so it doesnt hurt that much.. You dont have to be so nervous.

 Chapter 2005. Only She Knew That She Had Lost

    Chapter 2005. Only She Knew That She Had Lost


    Xu Baohans pupils constricted.


    A heart-wrenching pain filled his heart.


    But his body was cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.


    An Lan, I was wrong. I wont be like this anymore. He shook his head with difficulty. From now on, the only woman Ill be with is you.


    Stop it. An Lan felt even more helpless after scolding him. She wanted to cry, but she didnt want to shed a single tear in front of him. After all, she wasnt Zhuang Tianya. No matter how upset she felt, she would hold back her tears, Instead of saying that youre wrong, why dont you ask yourself if theres still someone in your heart, since you cant just leave her alone.


    An Lan, I dont. For me, theres only you, I know that very well. Xu Baohan gripped her wrist tightly. The more he used his strength, the more his body started to wobble.


    Shh, if you lie too many times, no one will believe you. An Lans index finger pressed lightly against his lips, Also, dont you think its too much of a coincidence? Xia City is so big, yet you managed to bump into Zhuang Tianya at your nearest pharmacy. Dont you have any doubts?


    The temperature at the corner of Xu Baohans mouth turned cold as he stared at her sarcastic gaze. He calmed down and answered honestly, Because herpany moved to the nearby area, she is now living in that area.


    What a coincidence, An Lanughed.


    Xu Baohan smiled bitterly. I cant control her living there.


    Youre right, but have you thought of another possibility? An Lan answered honestly. She hasnt forgotten about you, so she purposely moved to a ce close to your home, hoping to see you more often.


    Xu Baohan raised his arm until it was sore. An Lan, whether she did it on purpose or not, it doesnt matter to me. I know what I want and who I love now. Can we sit and talk? Im so tired.


    An Lan nced at the IV drip treatment. She said coldly, Since you know you wont have the strength, why dont you just lie down? Instead of torturing yourself by getting up? Like youre so afraid that Ill bully her.


    Its not Xu Baohan was at a loss for words.


    Go lie down. Im not a lunatic to get even with a patient. I dont want you to think that Im not as good as your ex. One gave you your favorite pig trotters when she caught a cold, and the other came to scold you with empty hands, An Lan said with a self-deprecating smile, he reached out to take the IV drip treatment, and walked towards the bedside.


    Xu Baohan followed obediently.


    When he reached the bedside, he reached out to grab her hand. An Lan, can we stop arguing? I promise to make a detour whenever I see her in the future. Even if I faint and know that she wants to help me, I will immediately get up and stop her from doing so.


    Why do I feel like youre mocking me? An Lan stared straight at him.


    Xu Baohan opened his mouth with difficulty and said bitterly, Im not, thats what I think.


    Lie down. An Lan retracted her hand. Ill go buy you some food.


    Im not hungry, dont go. Xu Baohan was a little flustered, afraid that if she left, she wouldnte back.


    Youre not hungry, but Im hungry, An Lan said before turning around and leaving.


    After leaving, she leaned against the wall and calmed down for a few minutes, feeling extremely ufortable.


    She and Zhuang Tianya seemed to have won the argument, but only she knew that she had lost, because Xu Baohans I think its too much had caused her to losepletely.


    Xu Baohanid down for more than 20 minutes in frustration before he saw her return. Have you eaten?


    Yes. An Lan passed him the lunchbox.. I bought pork trotters for you, its time for some nourishment.

 Chapter 2006. Was Whether You and I Are Suitable for EaChapter Other

    Chapter 2006. Was Whether You and I Are Suitable for EaChapter Other


    Xu Baohan wanted to die at the sight of pork trotters. He swore that he would never want to eat them again. I dont like them anymore, and you just said that its not good to eat fatty foods when you have a cold.


    An Lan looked at him and smiled gently. Youre suitable to eat pork trotters, because youre this big pig head. Do you know what that means? Simply put, men are all bad.


    She ced the lunch box on the side. Eat by yourself, Im leaving first.


    Xu Baohan was stunned, but when he heard herst sentence, he became anxious. An Lan, dont go, Im still still very ill


    Its none of my business if youre ill, Im not the one who infected you. An Lans chest was filled with anger. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would flip over his bed and go up to give him a few more kicks. You reap what you sow, you deserve it.


    Xu Baohan knew that she was still angry, so he forced himself to nod. Yes, I deserve it, can you not leave? Right now I really need you.


    Of course you need me, An Lan said with a smile, Without me, what if you fall asleep and no one rings the bell for you after the drip is done? Without me, your body wont recover after the drip and youll feel weak all over. What if you cant even stand properly on the way home?


    Thats not what I meant Xu Baohan knew that she was mocking him for apanying Zhuang Tianyast night.


    I really wont apany you.


    An Lan sneered, Why did your ex-girlfriend catch your cold and make me stay here? What do you need? All you need is someone to apany you and take care of you. It doesnt matter if that person is me or someone else. If you cant take it anymore, call your ex-girlfriend over. Or do you think she just finished the drip today and is afraid that she wont be able to take it anymore? In the past, when you were sick, your ex-girlfriend gave you pork trotters. Last time, when you fell from upstairs, I personally cooked for you every day for nothing, right?


    Xu Baohan, you just stay here. To think that you care so much for your ex-girlfriend, then you should experience for yourself how lonely and helpless it is to have no one to apany you for the IV treatment, how can you be so pretentious over such a trivial matter? Also, Ive only been dating you for a short period of time, yet a grown man would run to the hospital every now and then. Ive been dating you until now, and I havent even caught a cold. To think that youre so tall and strong, youve grown into such a strong body for nothing. I really need to think about whether you and I are suitable for each other.


    The more An Lan spoke, the angrier she got. Her entire body was trembling as she resisted the urge to strangle him. She turned around, picked up her bag and left.


    Xu Baohan stood up from the bed. Perhaps it was because he had gotten up in a hurry, he suddenly felt dizzy and lost his bnce, falling onto the bed beside him.


    Brother, be careful. There was another man lying beside him. He had been watching the show for a long time. Since things havee to this, why dont we chase after her after we finish the IV drip? You cant even hold on to someone like this.


    Xu Baohan gritted his teeth and managed to stabilize himself, but he could only smile bitterly.


    Actually, An Lan was right. He had only been with her for a short while, and he had already made two trips to the hospital.


    In fact, he had been in great health in the past. He didnt know what had happened to him recently, but he was either injured or down with a fever.


    On the contrary, An Lans health was much better than his.


    Thinking about the possibility of her breaking up with him, he couldnt sit still for even a moment.


    But his physical condition really didnt allow it.


    I say, Buddy, even if youre handsome, you cant be two-timing, right? The man looked at him with a little envy.

 Chapter 2007. We Must TeaChapter Him a Serious Lesson

    Chapter 2007. We Must TeaChapter Him a Serious Lesson


    Look at me, I cantpare to you guys. Im already 30 years old and I cant even find a partner. Now that there are more men and fewer women, you have to give us a chance too. The rich have more than a few women and the handsome, have a few too. Give us a way out, handsome.


    The man patted Xu Baohans back gloomily.


    Xu Baohans face turned green. Why did everyone think that he was two-timing now? Im not, Ive only had one girlfriend from the beginning to the end.


    Alright, were all men, I understand, the man said with a smile. When you were asleep earlier, that woman covered you with a nket and sat beside you, looking at you lovingly. I wouldnt believe it if she said nothing.


    Xu Baohans heart sank. He was definitely talking about Zhuang Tianya.


    Could it be that Zhuang Tianya still had feelings for him after all this time?


    If this was true, then it would be too troublesome. He might be wrong, but it seemed like he should stay as far away from her as possible in the future. There was no need to even greet her when they met.


    He raised his head to look at the IV drip treatment. He wanted to finish the IV drip as soon as possible and find An Lan.


    An Lan drove around for a while.


    It was a busy night in the city, but she felt a strong sense of loneliness.


    Why is it so difficult to find a someone decent.


    Nian Junting and Luo Sang, Xiao Si and Ji Nuanyi, Mo Liuxi and Yan Su, were harder to find.


    It wasnt that he hadnt seen their way of dealing with each other. They had quarreled and fought, but she had never wanted to be with anyone else.


    She wanted to ask Li Shuang out, but when she thought about it, she was just upset. The two of them gathered together toin, which made her even more unhappy.


    At her age, there was no need toin anymore.


    Even if she told them everything, the problems still couldnt be solved.


    She thought about it and drove to her condominium in Xia City. As for her previous condominium, she didnt want to go for the time being. Xu Baohan would definitely look for her, and she felt ufortable just looking at him now.


    When she reached the condominium, she called Li Yuchen. Dont tell Xu Baohan my address in Xia City.


    Whats wrong with the two of you? Li Yuchen was anxious. Isnt Xu Baohan pretty good?


    Im the one dating him, not you. How do you know hes pretty good? An Lan said unhappily. Since hes so good, why dont you just be with him?


    Li Yuchen said embarrassedly, Im already married. Dont say that. If I didnt have a wife, I might have tried.


    If it was in the past, An Lan would have really been amused. Now, she couldntugh at anything. Im telling the truth. This time, its very serious. He hid from me and apanied him ex-girlfriend to the hospital for an IV drip treatment. He even lied to me. Im very angry.


    Li Yuchen was stunned and then angry. Damn, at first, I thought he was a good man. I, a man, know that its wrong to apany my ex-girlfriend for IV drip. He still went. He cant let go of his ex, right?


    After he finished speaking, the other end of the phone suddenly went silent.


    He pped his mouth hard and quickly said, I said it wrong. It should be that his ex-girlfriend is too scheming. He still doesnt understand that even if a creature like his ex-girlfriend fainted in front of him, you should pretend not to see it.


    The more An Lan heard, the more frustrated she became. Okay, I know you usually tell him everything about me. Please be careful and figure out who your business partner is.


    Alright, we must teach him a serious lesson, Li Yuchen said angrily.. Let himpletely break up with his ex-girlfriend before hees to you.

 Chapter 2008. Lawyer Li, I Love Her Very Much

    Chapter 2008. Lawyer Li, I Love Her Very Much


    An Lans smile was bittersweet.


    This wasnt a problem of ending itpletely, this was a problem of him saying that he had gone too far. It was a problem of him doing something wrong and lying to her, but not realizing the mistake.


    It was rather meaningless when she thought about it.


    As his girlfriend, as long as she didntmit murder, arson, ormit any crimes, shouldnt he support her unconditionally.


    Even though she might have fallen into Zhuang Tianyas trap, it was meaningless for her to hold back her anger and treat Xu Baohan like a treasure in order not to fall into someone elses trap.


    After all, she and Xu Baohan were not married and didnt have children. There was really no need for her to hold back and keep the anger inside.


    At 10:30 pm, after Xu Baohan finished his IV drip, although his fever had not subsided, he still took a taxi to An Lans house to look for her.


    He opened the door and entered. The lights were off and there was no one inside. There was no sign of hering back.


    He was a little anxious and worried. She wouldnt be too angry and go to the bar to drink, would she.


    He called Yan Wen first. She expressed that she didnt know and then called Li Yuchen.


    Li Yuchen replied in a strange tone, Chief Judge Xu, youre her boyfriend. You dont even know. Im just her colleague, how would I know?


    Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his brows, Lawyer Li, tell me the truth, did An Lan say something to you? Where is she now? She is a woman and she is not back yet, I am quite worried.


    Li Yuchen was a little annoyed. Although Xu Baohan gave him good business and in his heart he respected him, but they were not his good friend after all. He and An Lan had gone through all sorts of ups and downs in theirw firm, no one couldpare to them.., Chief Judge Xu, dont worry. An Lan is not your ex-girlfriend and is not that fragile. She is already a few decades old. She will take good care of herself and will not risk her life for a rtionship. We are all adults and know how to protect ourselves. Your worries are unnecessary.


    Where is she? Xu Baohan noticed something and his tone turned heavy. Tell me.


    Whats the use of telling you, Li Yuchen said, She doesnt want to see you at all, Chief Judge Xu. I think itll be better if you two calm down. To be honest, I dont understand why you apanied your ex-girlfriend to IV treatment; if you cant let go, dont pester An Lan. She is only human after all. Put yourself in her shoes. If An Lan apanied her ex-boyfriend to the IV treatment, you wouldnt be able to take it, let alone another man. It would be as disgusting as eating a fly.


    Xu Baohan clenched his fists tightly.


    His heart felt like it had been punched by someone.


    So now, An Lan looked at him like he was a fly.


    She said she needed to think about it, did she want to leave him.


    He was anxious, his whole body felt like it was being roasted in a fire, Lawyer Li, I love her very much. Other than her, my heart has no space to contain anyone else. Regarding my ex-girlfriend, I was wrong, I have realized it now, but it hasnt been easy for An Lan and I to get to where we are today. I just want to ask you to tell me where she is.


    This was the first time Xu Baohan had spoken to Li Yuchen in a soft tone. Li Yuchen sighed, An Lan has told me a long time ago, and I have promised her. Chief Judge Xu, I respect you, admire you, and look up to you, but that is all. I will always know who is most important between you and An Lan. Although I often tell you some things about An Lan, those are always based on the fact that An Lan wants to get in touch with you. As a friend of hers, I can do this, why cant a boyfriend like you understand?

 Chapter 2009. I Still Prefer to Admire the Old You

    Chapter 2009. I Still Prefer to Admire the Old You


    Li Yuchen hung up the phone.


    Xu Baohan was lying on the sofa alone. This sofa was still filled with An Lans faint scent. It was so close, but at this moment, it seemed so far away.


    He couldnt understand. He didnt have any thoughts of being together with Zhuang Tianya. He knew clearly who he loved.


    Why did he push An Lan so far away.


    He felt like he had never failed before.


    If he could do it all over again, he would have sent Zhuang Tianya to the hospital that night and left.


    An Lan was right. In fact, it was not a big deal for him to receive IV drip treatment alone at night. The medical staff were all fine. He was just overthinking.


    The next day, An Lan went straight to Xuan Yuangs newpany in Xia City. She then went home and did not go to thew firm.


    Yan Wen called, a little worried. Lawyer An, whats going on between you and Chief Judge Xu? Hes been waiting for you since noon, and he even bought you flowers and gifts.


    An Lan scoffed. Did he think that she would forgive him every time he used that trick.


    He was too naive.


    He probably still didnt understand why he was so angry.


    Dont worry about him. He onlyes during office hours anyway, An Lan said.


    She wasnt sure if Xu Baohan would stop working even if there was a typhoon. If he didnt apply for a day off, he would onlye to find her in the afternoon and evening.


    This was good too, she was really afraid that she would scold him every time she saw him. She was still upset right now, if she didnt calm down, it would be better for everyone to cool off first.


    Xu Baohan had been running around thew firm for a few days, he didnt even see An Lans figure. However, he knew that the most important thing for him now was to recover from his cold, so he would still go to the hospital for IV drip treatment, his unhealthy body was on the verge of copse in front of An Lan, her impression of him would be even worse. He was afraid that he would run into Zhuang Tianya in the hospital, so he even changed the hospital this time.


    On the fifth day, he finally applied for leave and went straight to Nian Juntingspany.


    Nian Junting, who had just finished a meeting with the higher-ups, was surprised to see him, What brings Chief Judge Xu Here? Arent you in a rtionship? Why did you ruin yourself like this?


    Xu Baohan frowned. If he had a choice, he wouldnt havee to find Nian Junting. However, the people from An Lansw firm kept their mouths shut, I had a fight with An Lan. She doesnt even go back to her apartment. You must know where she still has a house elsewhere. I know her well. Shes unlikely to stay in a hotel.


    So serious? Nian Junting raised his eyebrows.


    Xiao Si leaned over and said, An Lan isnt an unreasonable person. What did you do to make her so angry?


    Xu Baohan opened his mouth and said with difficulty, I really didnt expect it to be so serious.


    Hearing that, Xiao Si became angry and said, How is it not serious? You usually look like a smart person. How could you do such a thing?


    Nian Junting also nced at Xu Baohans cold eyes, Arent you cold-blooded and heartless? Are you still the Xu Baohan I know? Youre so brave now, like a central air conditioner. Youre not the Xu Baohan I know. I still prefer to admire the old you.


    Xiao Si scolded, What kind of scum is that ex-girlfriend of yours? She abandoned you after getting engaged to you, and everyone isughing at you. Why dont you keep your distance from her? If I were you, I would drag her to a deserted ce and let her die.


    Xu Baohan:

 Chapter 2010. There Was a Reason Why Nian Junting Was Loved by His Wife

    Chapter 2010. There Was a Reason Why Nian Junting Was Loved by His Wife


    Im a judge, I cant do that.


    After a long while, Xu Baohan had no choice but to interrupt the two of them.


    Whats wrong with the judge? So the judge can be the central air conditioner? Xiao Si was very displeased. He had told An Lan not to date Xu Baohan. It would be great to be with the general manager of Shengting whom he had introduced.


    Nian junting nced at Xu Baohan, If I were you, I would call an ambnce when I see my ex-girlfriend pass out in front of me. I would leave after see her carried off and into the ambnce. The hospital wont ignore the life and death of a person just because no one goes to the hospital with them. In fact, you should touch your own heart and ask if there is a small corner of your heart left for your ex-girlfriend,


    You can tell yourself that youre just doing your duty as a citizen, but is that really the case? Your heart might be a little soft towards your ex-girlfriend, you can be kind, but in that moment are you fair to your own girlfriend?


    Xu Baohan was taken aback. Was his heart soft towards Zhuang Tianya.


    Thinking about it carefully, yes.


    When Zhuang Tianya mentioned that he had been hospitalized with stomach pains, his heart softened. He thought that staying with him for IV drip treatment wasnt a big deal.


    Xiao Si gave Nian Junting a thumbs up and said, Tingting, Ive realized that youve be more and more powerful since you got married. Youre almost an expert in rtionships.


    When have I not been an expert? Nian Junting nced at him and said, Ive always been an expert in rtionships. Dont you believe me? In the end, I got married a long time before you did.


    Xiao Si gritted his teeth and pretended that he didnt say anything.


    Nian Junting continued humming, Back when I was dating Luo Sang, I only said a few words to Leng Shuangwei, and she got into an argument with me. Women dont care not because theyre petty. She cares because shes jealous. So, in the past two years, Ive been able to avoid responsibility and avoid contact with Leng Shuangwei. Although she suffered a lot to save my grandmother, and I feel guilty and apologetic, I wont have any contact with her,


    I know very well what I value the most. I Cant make Luo Luo unhappy because of my guilt. Besides, if Im a little soft-hearted, Leng Shuangwei might think that I still have feelings for her, which might bring her bad thoughts, Its not good for my marriage.


    Xu Baohan fell into deep thought after hearing his words.


    He felt as if he had been hammered a few times, as if he had been enlightened.


    Therefore, there was a reason why Nian Junting was loved by his wife.


    Xiao Si nodded as if he had been taught a lesson, Youre right. Do you think that youre just a little sorry? As long as your heart loves her, thats enough. However, women arent worms in your stomach. Besides, people are very narrow-minded. They cant tolerate their loved ones to care about the opposite sex.


    Sometimes, be a little selfish, Nian Junting looked at Xu Baohan, In my eyes, after I had Luo Luo, I never looked at other women. No matter how beautiful other women are, theyre no different from sculptures. To other women, my heart is stone. To my wife, my heart is made of water. If you can do that, whats wrong with me helping you and An Lan?


    Xu Baohan looked behind him and his eyes suddenly shed.


    Nian Junting didnt understand what was going on. Suddenly, he heard a soft female voice behind him, Hubby, I heard everything..


    Nian Juntings body froze. He turned around and realized that Luo Sang had arrived. He blushed and said, Luo Sang.

 Chapter 2011. He Kept Saying that He Loved An Lan, But He Didnt Trust Her At All

    Chapter 2011. He Kept Saying that He Loved An Lan, But He Didn''t Trust Her At All


    Luo Sang looked at him tenderly for a while, then walked up to him and gently held his arm, she turned to Xu Baohan and said, Mr. Xu, youve known Junting since junior high school. You should know him well. Speaking of friends, hes not easy to get along with. As his wife, I hate him sometimes, but Ill never stop loving him, because he loves me wholeheartedly, even if I bully others


    He felt that I looked good when I bullied others. No matter how others mocked and humiliated me, no matter how the people outside misunderstood me, he chose to believe and never doubted me. No matter what setbacks I encountered, he believed that I would seed, I am the brightest pearl in his heart. What about you? Are you like this with the person you im to love?


    Xu Baohan looked at the two of them in a daze.


    His throat suddenly felt like it was stuck by a fish bone.


    In the past, he didnt know much about Nian Junting and Luo Sangs past and marriage. Why did they get together? One was a young and rich boss, the other was a beautiful daughter from a wealthy family, it was easy for people to think that their rtionship was based on money.


    At that moment, he suddenly felt like he had been taught a lesson.


    Was he like that.


    He wasnt like that.


    He even told An Lan in the hospital that she was too much.


    If it were Nian Junting, he would say that An Lan was a great bully, even if she was bullying others.


    How how can you do this? Even when shes bullying others, you thinks that she looks good when shes bullying others. Dont tell me that even if shes bad, youll love her unconditionally? Im just making an analogy.


    He struggled to speak.


    Nian Junting and Luo Sang looked at each other. Nian Junting frowned and smiled, Its funny that youre asking this question. Would you fall in love with a low-quality woman? No matter who she bullies, shes not a bully in my eyes. I know her well. My woman wont make a fuss for no reason. She has her reasons for doing this. I just need to trust her unconditionally.


    Luo Sang nodded, If you cant do that, you can only say that you dont know An Lan well enough and dont know how to trust her. Maybe youre just making an analogy, but Mr. Xu, to use the word bully against the person you love, is it because you dont trust her? If I hear the person I love say something like that to me, Ill definitely be very disappointed and disappointed.


    Xu Baohan felt as if someone had pressed his acupoints.


    Thats right. Why did he feel that An Lan had gone too far with Zhuang Tianya.


    When he said that, An Lan felt disappointed and disappointed as well.


    He said that he loved An Lan, but he didnt trust her.


    He didnt even think about the reason why An Lan did that.


    For the first time, he felt that he had failed. From a rtionship point of view, apart from working too hard and spending too little time with An Lan, he felt that he was fine.


    But now, he realized that he couldntpare to Nian Junting and Xiao Si.


    An Lan lived in such an environment, so she would alsopare and envy other peoples love.


    She must be very disappointed now.


    Junting, weve been friends for so many years, Ive never asked you for anything. This time, Im counting on you, Xu Baohan suddenly raised his head and stared at Nian Junting, After talking to you, I finally understand whats wrong with me and An Lan. Im not looking for her to forgive me, I just want to sincerely apologize to her.

    Chapter 2012. What Brings You here From Beijing


    Nian Junting frowned.


    He was a soft-hearted person, and this was indeed the first time Xu Baohan had begged him like this. Although he was secretly happy, he still felt a little sorry for him.


    He was caught in a dilemma, An Lan did ask us about the value of our investment when she bought a real estate in the past.


    Tingting Xiao Si was displeased.


    This is her problem, after all. An Lan has to stand up even if she wants to break up. Its not a good idea to hide, Nian Junting said lightly.


    Xiao Si thought about it and agreed with him. He sighed and said, She seems to have a condominium over there in the Lan Ting Building. I dont know which floor exactly.


    Xu Baohans eyes lit up as he stared at Xiao Si. Thank you.


    Being stared at by a man, Xiao Si felt a chill run down his spine.


    After receiving the news, Xu Baohan left quickly. Although he didnt know which floor she was on, it didnt matter. He could wait downstairs. If she stayed here, she would definitelye back.


    Zhuo Cheng was fresh.


    An Lan knocked on the office door. The general manager of Xia City, Mo Rong, was on the phone, sighing, Mom, you can only persuade Auntie to be more open-minded. Its not a good idea to cry all day. If you have time, you can apany her for a walk. Ive told them to spend more time with their son, but now that hes gone, what can I do? Alright, lets not talk about it anymore. I still have something to do Im hanging up.


    The agreement and project proposal are ready. An Lan put the documents on the table, then sat down and asked casually, Why? Did something happen to someone at home?


    Mo Rong sighed again and said, Something happened a long time ago. It was my cousin. He went to Italy a few months ago and got into trouble. He was kidnapped. Theres no news of him in fact. He probably got killed.


    An Lan was stunned. She remembered that Nian Junting had told her about Nian Xis boyfriend in Italy during the New Year. What a coincidence, she asked, What does your cousin do?


    He does research, Mo Rong said regretfully, I dont have much contact with my cousin, and he never talks to us siblings. But he died at such a young age. Its a pity. I heard from my aunt that his son found a girlfriend. By the way, hes also from Xia City. I nned to visit him this year, but now, I dont need to.


    An Lan grumbled in her heart. Nian Xi was also from Xia City. It couldnt be such a coincidence, right? If it was, this world was really small.


    However, he had already disappeared, so mentioning it would only add to the sadness.


    Sigh, lets not talk about these sad things anymore. Mo Rong waved her hand and picked up the documents she had brought with her, Lawyer An, youre really efficient. I heardst week that you were busy and hadnt been with your boyfriend for a long time. You could only give it to me next week, but I didnt expect it to be brought forward.


    An Lan felt bitter in her heart. She had already quarreled with Xu Baohan, so she could only focus on her work. Yeah, I didnt expect myself to be so efficient.


    She smiled sheepishly.


    Lawyer An, I quite like you, Mo Rong said with a smile. Its a pity that you have a boyfriend. Otherwise, I might have set you up with my cousin.


    The cousin she was talking about was Xuan Yuang.


    Before An Lan could speak, a clearughter suddenly came from behind. An Lan and I have known each other for a long time. I still need you to set me up.


    An Lan was stunned. She turned around and saw Xuan Yuang stately walking in wearing a dark brown windbreaker. The smile on his face was elegant and charming.


    What brings you here from Beijing? Mo Rong smiled faintly.

 Chapter 2013. She really Admired SuChapter a Person

    Chapter 2013. She really Admired SuChapter a Person


    What brings you here from Beijing? Mo Rong smiled faintly.


    The Spring Breeze of reform and opening up. Xuan Yuang pulled out a chair and sat across from Mo Rong in a carefree manner. Ive been listening to your report on the progress here, but its still not as good as me personallying over to take a look.


    If theres anything youre dissatisfied with, please instruct me, boss, Mo Rong asked with a smile.


    Xuan Yuang raised his eyebrows. The rxed look on his handsome face disappeared in an instant and was reced by a solemn expression, Theres a big problem. This is the first time ourpany has invested in the fresh fish market. The apps page is well set up. It looks high-end and elegant, giving people afortable feeling, but the source of the ingredients for seafood Before I came here, I went to a physical shop to have a look. The salmons color is slightly dark, and the fat line is very light. Its not fresh enough, and the taste is very ordinary,


    Australian steak. The M12 meat actually has the texture of an M5. The red shrimp from Argentina is it still from the beginning of the year? The taste is not fresh at all. In fact, many supermarkets in the country really cant meet the 100% standard for seafood, But the problem is that your price doesnt match the taste of the ingredients.


    The smile on Mo Rongs face gradually disappeared and was reced by a stiff expression. No, Ive tasted it personally before.


    Xuan Yuang crossed his hands. Where did you taste it? Did you go to the store to defrost the food and taste it personally? Or did someone else bring out the old dishes for you to taste?


    Mo Rong suddenly fell silent.


    An Lan secretly clicked her tongue as she listened from the side. She could not help but admire Xuan Yuangs tongue. She had gone to the fresh meat market before and also felt that the taste was a littlecking, but it was definitely not so good that she could taste the quality of the beef.


    Xuan Yuang stood up and knocked on the table with his fingers. He said to Mo Rong, Actually, even if you cant taste it, its normal because you dont know seafood. People who really know seafood can taste it in one bite. These days there are too many ces that use inferior products while pretending to advertise that they are using the best.


    The group of people who set up thepany in Xia City were all personally selected by you. I hope that you can develop well here. Ive also told you before that what you want to do is the best in the fresh meat market. But what youre doing is no different from the fresh supermarket in Xia City now. If you can only do this much, then youll be able to close up and return to Beijing very soon.


    Im sorry. Mo Rong looked embarrassed.


    Xuan Yuang patted her shoulder, In thepany, youre my subordinate, but at the same time, youre also my older sister. This is the first time youve taken up such a big project, so its inevitable that youll have some shorings. But this time, the reason why the board of directors asked you toe over is to support you. I hope that you wont disappoint me. Your subordinates should do a good and thorough investigation. You can take the profits that you should take, but those that you shouldnt take can be said to be looking at the big picture for the sake of thepany. You can leave now.


    Alright, Ill go to the store now, Mo Rong said and left in a hurry.


    Seeing her leave, Xuan Yuang shrugged at An Lan and said, I think I scared her away.


    She didnt scare her away. She knows what went wrong and wants to correct it, An Lan smiled at him. Now, she finally understood that Xuan Yuang could be an equal to Nian Junting. Xuan Yuangs eyes were sharp and decisive, after lecturing her, he knew how to be gentle and soften after.


    She really admired such a person.


    My older sister. isnt smart enough, Xuan Yuang leaned against the table and lowered his head to say to her, But I still hope that my family members can earn more money.

 Chapter 2014. Did you Have a Fight or Broke Up?

    Chapter 2014. Did you Have a Fight or Broke Up?


    An Lan nodded.


    In the country, many of therge corporations were passed down from family. Even if they were not, they would help support their rtives when they rise up the ranks. But not put in as much effort, so Xuan Yuang could not be said to be careless with Mo Rong.


    I didnt expect you to be so knowledgeable about raw and fresh ingredients, Senior. An Lan was talking about hisments on raw and fresh ingredients.


    Im a picky eater, and I like to cook, Xuan Yuang said with a faint smile.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, As a senior, do you need to cook by yourself?


    She remembered that Nian Junting had never liked to cook before. Sister Lan always cooked by herself. Of course, he didnt cook because he thought that his cooking skills were too excellent, and he was afraid that others would fall in love with his cooking skills.


    She was speechless.


    Who am I? Xuanyuan Lang didnt think much of it, Who am I? Apart from having more money and being busier, I still need three meals just like you guys. To me, cooking is my me-time. I can think about many things, and after Im done, I can taste my own blood and sweat. Its all enjoyment.


    An Lan nodded in agreement.


    This was the same as what she thought. Usually, even if she was busy with work, she would still cook pastries at home when she was free.


    Its almost time for dinner. Ill let you have a good taste of my cooking tonight, Xuan Yuang looked at his watch and said, Do you have time to apany me to Zhuo Chengs fresh supermarket? Theres a kitchen there.


    Didnt you say that the ingredients there arent delicious enough? An Lan said with a smile.


    Pick some good ingredients. Xuan Yuang shrugged lightly. Whatever you want to eat tonight, you can choose in the fresh supermarket. You dont have to pay. Ill be your chef, but after that, you have to give our supermarket some valuable advice.


    Im under a lot of pressure from you saying that. An Lan smiled bitterly. What advice can awyer like me give?


    Youre a customer tonight. Xuan Yuang stood up straight.


    An Lan nodded helplessly.


    The fresh produce supermarket was not far from here. Xuan Yuang was in the offline sales mode. Although the interior decoration was not particrly exquisite, it felt especiallyfortable and clean when one walked in.


    Xuan Yuang pushed the cart while An Lan strolled leisurely. There were many good foods in this supermarket, and even yogurt was imported.


    She picked a box of yogurt and Japanese ice cream imported from Thand. Xuan Yuang had someone scoop up a few blue crabs. After scooping them up, he smiled apologetically, If you want to eat Dungeness crabs, you can let the people below make them, but I dont know how to do it myself. They are too big and tooplicated.


    Its okay, just eat the blue crabs. An Lan picked up another steak.


    The counter was a open one. An Lan sat outside drinking red wine as she watched Xuan Yuang work inside. The man was wearing an apron and looked elegant.


    She couldnt help thinking of Xu Baohan. In the past, he used to cook for her as well, but Xu Baohan was more meticulous in his cooking while Xuan Yuang was more elegant. Rather than saying that he was cooking, it was more appropriate to say that he was enjoying the process.


    Junior, try this special-grade steak. Xuan Yuang handed her a te. Seeing that she was absent-minded, he asked, Why? Are you in a bad mood and missing your boyfriend?


    An Lan looked embarrassed.


    If you have time, you can bring him over to y, Xuan Yuang said with a smile. Help me increase the poprity here.


    Lets talk about it in the future. An Lan poured herself some red wine.


    Did you have a fight or broke up? Xuan Yuang sat opposite her.


    Senior, why arent you married yet? An Lan suddenly said, Is it so difficult to meet a person who wholeheartedly and unconditionally trust you?

 Chapter 2015. Thank You for Sending My Girlfriend Back

    Chapter 2015. Thank You for Sending My Girlfriend Back


    Xuan Yuang shook his wine ss thoughtfully. Its difficult, right? There are too many temptations these days.


    Yeah, An Lan smiled bitterly. I dont know when Ill be able to get married either.


    You want to get married? Xuan Yuang asked.


    Sometimes, I feel a little envious when I see others getting married. For some reason, An Lan felt that she didnt need to be too guarded in front of him.


    Xuan Yuang pushed the steak in front of her, An Lan, actually, many people arent that happy when they get married. You may see that Nian Junting and Xiao Sis marriages are very good, but its just an exception. So, be careful. If you feel that you dont have a happy life together, theres no need to force yourself. Were both adults with sessful careers. Theres no need to put ourselves in a difficult position just to please anyone. A man with good taste and self-control wouldnt mind a womans age. Youre a very outstanding person. From the moment I met you, I knew that you were a book that got better and better. A good book will neverck fans.


    An Lan lowered her head to look at Xuan Yuangs handsome face and was stunned. After a while, her sad heart seemed to have been healed a lot.


    Xuan Yuang continued, Of course, every man has his ws. I also have many ws. No matter which man you choose, this is no exception. Of course, your ws will be determined by whether you can endure it or not. Think about it carefully.


    He raised his ss.


    Thank you. An Lan clinked her ss with his.


    An Lan had a pretty good dinner. Basically, she enjoyed it more than any other restaurant. After eating seafood and steak, there were also desserts and drinks.


    An Lan was very full. She drank half a bottle of red wine and Xuan Yuang drove her home.


    How did you feel tonight? Xuan Yuang asked.


    Great, two words, very great, An Lan said seriously. After all, it was such a big imported fresh supermarket, how could she not be happy with the high-end ingredients that were randomly chosen for cooking? Who will be convinced to marry you in the future?


    Not necessarily, being with someone, whether its happiness or not has nothing to do with their money or culinary skills, Xuan Yuang shook his head.


    An Lan thought about it and agreed. She had money now, Xu Baohan had culinary skills, but he was still unhappy.


    The car stopped below the condominium and Xuan Yuang got out to help her open the car door.


    You dont have to be so polite. An Lan got out of the car and smiled, but her gaze froze when she looked behind him.


    Xu Baohan waited downstairs from the morning until 10 pm. He looked left and right but did not see An Lans car. He did not expect to see An Laning out from the passenger seat of a ck Bentley at this time, the man who opened the door for him was dressed in a windbreaker. He had a refined and handsome face and was full of nobility.


    She raised her head and smiled at the man with her eyes curved.


    For some reason, his heart felt as though it was blocked by a huge rock. He felt suffocated and an unknown panic gripped his heart.


    He recognized that this person was Xuan Yuang, whom he had seen on the news.


    He walked over quickly with his dark eyes. An Lan, youre back. Ive been waiting for you for a long time.


    An Lan furrowed her brows. She didnt expect Xu Baohan to find this ce. who was the one who leaked it.


    This is Xuan Yuang looked at Xu Baohan.


    Im her boyfriend. Xu Baohan reached out his hand. Thank you for sending my girlfriend back.


    As he spoke, he nced at An Lan. Seeing that she didnt deny it, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    Oh, youre An Lans boyfriend. Xuan Yuangs thin lips twitched as he shook his hand and smiled. Nice to meet you. Hold onto An Lan well.. Im afraid that Ill snatch her away if youre not careful.

 Chapter 2016. Junior, Im Very Happy to Have Cooked for You Personally Tonight

    Chapter 2016. Junior, I''m Very Happy to Have Cooked for You Personally Tonight


    An Lan was stunned, but when she saw Xuan Yuangs expression, she knew that he wasnt trying to sow discord between the two of them. With his personality, he was probably just trying to increase Xu Baohans sense of danger.


    On the other hand, Xu Baohans pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on Xuan Yuangs hand. He should have known that it was normal for such an outstanding woman like An Lan to be well liked, but Xuan Yuangs presence had indeed given him a lot of pressure. This was the first time they had met, he has qualities that are equal orparable to himself, and he was also very outstanding in all aspects.


    Fortunately, he has never been a man whocked confidence in himself.


    The other party was now openly challenging him, and he was determined not to back down.


    Its a pity that you will never have the chance. Xu Baohan looked at him, his eyes seemingly calm, but the aura around him suddenly dropped by a few degrees.


    Well know once we try, Xuan Yuang said as he exerted force on his hand.


    An Lan looked at the two mens hands that had been holding on for a long time. Under the streetlights, she could vaguely see the veins on the backs of their hands.


    She was speechless. It was just a handshake, was there a need to use so much force? Wasnt he afraid that it would hurt.


    She coughed lightly and went forward to pull Xu Baohans other arm. Its gettingte. Time to go back, Senior. Thank you for today.


    She hadnt seen him for the past few days, and it had been a long time since the two of them had been so close to each other. The moment she got close to him, the smell wafted over, and Xu Baohans heart softened. He didnt even have the intention to shake hands with Xuan Yuang.


    He let go, and Xuan Yuang let go as well.


    Junior, Im very happy to have cooked for you personally tonight. Xuan Yuang put one hand in his trouser pocket and waved his other hand, appearing dashing and handsome. See you tomorrow. Good night.


    An Lan felt a cold gaze on her, her scalp tingling. She looked at the smiling Xuan Yuang and waved awkwardly. Good night


    Before she could finish, she was dragged out by Xu Baohan.


    The other party dragged her out very quickly. An Lan was wearing high heels, and she almost fell down several times due to his tugging. In addition to that, her hands were also being tugged by him. She was furious and raised her voice. Xu Baohan, you let go of me right now.


    Xu Baohan seemed to have been jolted awake and turned around abruptly. He saw that her cheeks were slightly red and her feet were staggering in high heels. She looked a little disheveled.


    An Lan flung his hands away angrily, Why are you dragging me like that? Cant you see that Im wearing high heels? Arent you afraid that Ill fall?


    I Xu Baohan pursed his lips and a deep sense of annoyance shed across his brows. He had beenpletely angered by Xuan Yuangs words and had lost his rationality. An Lan, I was in a mess just now. Xuan Yuang said that he had personally cook dinner for you tonight


    It would have been fine if they just had dinner together, but what was the meaning of letting the man personally cook? Xu Baohan remembered that he had been shameless for a long time before he could go to her ce.


    What was going on between her and Xuan Yuang? Were she thinking of recing him.


    Xu Baohans heart was in a mess, so much so that it felt like a wild beast had lost control in his chest.


    An Lan looked at him for a while, her thin lips curving into a half-smile. What, youre the only one who can apany your ex-girlfriend for IV drip treatment, but you wont allow me to taste Seniors cooking?


    Xu Baohan waspletely choked by her words.


    An Lan pulled her hand back forcefully, Now that I think about it, I feel that I was too silly in the past. Ever since I started dating you, Ive hardly interacted with any of the members of the opposite sex around me.. Actually, were just dating, if were not suitable for each other, we can break up at any time, we dont have any legal responsibilities to each other at all.

 Chapter 2017. SuChapter a Rare Occurrence, You Actually Realized This Problem

    Chapter 2017. SuChapter a Rare urrence, You Actually Realized This Problem


    Xu Baohans eyes shed with deep regret.


    He took a step forward and held her thin shoulders, his tone slightly bitter. An Lan, youre right, its just a rtionship. You can rece me at any time, but I dont want to be let go of.


    An Lan was angered by his confident words andughed. The boss may haveid-off contracts if he fires his employees, but I dont have any contract with you.


    An Lan, I admit that I made a mistake this time. It was extremely wrong, but from a certain point of view, my body and heart did not betray you. Are you going to kill our rtionship with a single blow? Xu Baohan said with a bitter smile, Have you forgotten that we used to have our happy times?


    An Lan almost couldnt hold back her tears when she recalled the past when the two of them had been intimate.


    Xu Baohan lowered his eyes and brushed away a strand of hair by her ear, Last time at the hospital, I admitted that I was terrible. I didnt even realize what I did wrong when you left. In fact, I felt a little wronged. At that time, I felt that my heart and body didnt betray you. Why were you so agitated


    An Lanughed angrily, Youre still feel wronged


    Hear me out, Xu Baohan pressed his finger on her lips, Ive been living in a daze for the past few days, but I have no idea where you are. Today, I went to Shengting to look for Nian Junting. When I saw the couple and Xiao Si, I finally understood what I did wrong.


    An Lan was confused by his words. Did Mr Nian and Mr. Xiao teach him a lesson.


    When I was in the hospital, I shouldnt have thought that what you said to Zhuang Tianya was too much, Xu Baohan suddenly said in a low voice. You are my girlfriend, I should have unconditionally chosen to trust you and trust you.


    An Lans heart ached when the matter was brought up again. At that time, when he had said that he felt that she was too much, it had really hurt her badly and it had caused her to feel a chill in her heart. It was also at that time that she decided to reconsider their rtionship.


    Such a rare urrence, you actually realized this problem An Lan said sarcastically.


    Xu Baohans face was covered in dust. He only realized it after being reminded by the couple, Also, I shouldnt have lied to you. Youre right. Even if I run into her at the clinic, Ill just call an ambnce for her. An Lan, I promise that I wont be like this in the future. In the future, no matter what happens, Ill always put your feelings first. In the past, I had many shorings, but in the future, the same problems wont happen.


    He apologized earnestly in front of her, and An Lan suddenly felt a little lost.


    An Lan Xu Baohan stepped forward and gently held her hand. Can we go back?


    An Lan lowered her head to look at that hand, her heart feeling stifled, Baohan, not only do I mind that you dont trust me, I also mind how you felt when you stood on Zhuang Tianyas side at that moment. The fact that you lied to me for her is a thorn in my heart. Your heart will soften for her, but what if she appears by your side again and again? Our lives will not be peaceful. I am a person with a serious mysophobia.


    If theres a second time, you can kick me out without any hesitation, Xu Baohan said with a wry smile.


    An Lan shook her head, feeling very ufortable.. Baohan, you clearly have a stomachache, yet you still have to apany Zhuang Tianya until four in the morning. Tell me, how do you support yourself with such courage and kindness to apany a woman?

 Chapter 2018. Then... Give Me Back My Keys

    Chapter 2018. Then... Give Me Back My Keys


    Xu Baohan froze, his face slightly stiff.


    Did he have a stomachache at that time? It seemed like it, he had almost forgotten.


    Baohan, answer me honestly, I dont like to be lied to, An Lan


    stared at him with a clear and calm gaze. Actually, I have already expected the answer.


    Xu Baohan lowered his gaze helplessly, Because Im soft-hearted. Shes my ex-girlfriend. Even though theres no feelings left, I couldnt help turning a blind eye. When I was with her, it was the most difficult time for me at work, but this isnt love. I know very well that if it was love, I would be anxious, sad, and afraid, but I didnt have it then. Perhaps yes, theres still a part of us from the past.


    An Lan smiled, but her smile was even uglier than her tears.


    Although she had already guessed it, it was indeed very ufortable to hear it from his own mouth.


    Xu Baohan felt a wave of fear and panic from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to try his best to grab it, but it was as if something had passed through his fingertips and he could not grab it.


    He had once thought that happiness was just around the corner, but he had pushed it away with his own hands.


    An Lan are you really going to break up with me? Xu Baohans voice was slightly hoarse, his eyes filled with pain, Give me a chance, I know what my mistake is now, I wont do it again. Dont deny our past just because of this one-time incident. Its not easy to ept each other from the beginning to the end. Even if youre sentenced in court, the consequences also depends on the severity of the crime.


    An Lan looked at him in pain. The more she cared, the more she felt suffocated when he said that he was soft-hearted towards another woman.


    In this world, the human heart can never be controlled.


    However, when it came to beingpletely cut off, it really wasnt that easy.


    Everyone wasnt young anymore. She wasnt sure when she would be able to pull herself together into starting a new rtionship. Moreover, the two of them had been intimate before.


    When a woman gave her body to another person, it was equivalent to epting that person from her body and heart, but unfortunately


    It was given too early into the rtionship.


    An Lan was at a loss.


    She felt like she was holding an expensive towel that someone else had used before. It would be a pity to throw it away, but if she didnt, she would still feel dirty using it.


    Seeing that she was silent, Xu Baohan was like a child for the first time. He was at a loss as he stepped forward and hugged her gently. He was nervous, uneasy, and cautious. An Lan, I wont be like that anymore. I wont lie to you, alright? I swear on thew.


    An Lan smiled bitterly. He was probably more important than his life in the eyes of thew. Using thew wasnt easy.


    Thats it, An Lan said calmly. We wont break up for the time being, but we dont want to live together for the time being. We dont want to be close to you like we used to be.


    Xu Baohan smiled bitterly. Wouldnt that return to the time when they first met? Fortunately, she used the words time being. He believed that as long as he changed his mind and be firm when facing Zhuang Tianya, she would forgive him. He was afraid that she wouldnt even give him a chance.


    Alright. He nodded, Im really not doing well this time. Its only right for you to do this, but dont stay here, alright? Go back to your ce. After all, the condominium is quite crowded, Im worried. Besides, your ce is quite spacious, youll be morefortable there. Theres no need for you to not be able to go home for me.


    An Lan looked at him with aplicated expression before reaching out. Then give me back my keys.


    Xu Baohan was stunned, but his eyes dimmed. An Lan, I promised you that I wouldnt stay with you, so I wont.

 Chapter 2019. What Does Your Hunger Have to Do with Me, Im Quite Full

    Chapter 2019. What Does Your Hunger Have to Do with Me, I''m Quite Full


    Ive already lost my trust in you, An Lan insisted.


    Trust was hard to establish, but it was easy to lose.


    Xu Baohan didnt want her to be even more disappointed in him, so he could only give her back the keys to her house.


    On the other side, An Lan also handed him back his house key.


    The small key weighed like a thousand pounds.


    Xu Baohan did not feel good. You dont have to give me mine.


    He was afraid that if he took it back, she would never want it. An Lan, we are not breaking up.


    I know, we are just returning to the beginning. An Lan ced the key in his hand. In the beginning, I took this key too early.


    Not early, it will always belong to you, and only you. Xu Baohans gaze was unfathomable.


    Who knows? An Lan shrugged in self-mockery. Some couples go their separate ways after getting married. Besides, were just dating. Forget it, lets not talk about it anymore, everyone has been unhappy recently. Ill move back tomorrow, you can go back home now.


    Xu Baohan looked at her with burning eyes. It had been so many days since theyst saw each other, how could he bear to leave just like that? Even if he couldnt spend the night with her, it was enough for him to return hometer. An Lan, I havent eaten all day, can you apany me to have a bowl of noodles?


    Are you trying to say that youve been waiting here for a long time? An Lan asked with a frown.


    No, Im trying to say that Im hungry. Xu Baohans eyelids drooped.


    He had been looking haggard recently, and his handsome face had lost some weight. Now, he looked pitiful.


    An Lan scoffed in her heart. It wasnt easy, he had already learned how to y the tough game, which made her a little soft-hearted. However, perhaps he hadnt lost weight because of her, but because of the flu. She knew about the flu, it was as painful as losing ayer of skin.


    What does your hunger have to do with me, Im quite full, An Lan said sarcastically.


    Xu Baohan choked. If it was the previous her, she would definitely feel sorry for him. As expected, he shouldnt be so cheap. An Lan, apany me to the side to eat. It wont take long, at most 20 minutes.


    Im tired, you can eat by yourself. You have hands, money and a mouth, I cant help you much, An Lan patted his shoulder, You have to know your limits, do you know that when I treasure you, you are the priceless treasure in my heart? When I dont want you anymore, you are as good as grass, you are the one who turned the treasure into grass. If you want to make my heart ache, dream on.


    With that, the elevator arrived. She walked in and pressed the button to close the door in front of him.


    Xu Baohans face was filled with annoyance.


    He looked at the floor where the elevator stopped and took out his phone to send An Lan a Wechat message: it doesnt matter if Im grass. Grass is resilient and tenacious. I wont give up.


    He kept his phone and stood there for a while before he went to eat a bowl of noodles.


    Even though he was hungry, the noodles were tasteless in his mouth.


    Sometimes, it was only interesting for two people to eat some things. He deserved it for losing such a good person.


    After returning home at night, he slept for a while and set the rm. The next day, he woke up at six oclock to make breakfast and drive it over.


    When he arrived at the condominium, it was almost 7:30.


    At this time, she was definitely still sleeping. He did not disturb her and only sent her a message before leaving the breakfast at the guards ce.


    An Lan woke up early today. It wasnt that she had something on, it was just that she was preupied.


    She saw Xu Baohans message immediately, but she wasnt in a rush to go downstairs.. Instead, she waited for more than ten minutes before going down to retrieve it.

 Chapter 2020. As For You, Youre Not as Precious as a Minute of My Time

    Chapter 2020. As For You, You''re Not as Precious as a Minute of My Time


    The guard smiled when he saw her. Your boyfriend is just in time. After being a guard here for so many years, this is the first time Ive seen him personally make breakfast and send it here so early in the morning.


    An Lan took the breakfast from the guard and opened the paper bag to take a look. The thermos sk was filled with piping hot eight-treasure porridge. There were also grilled ham and cheese toast, corn soup, dumplings and fried rice cake, all of which were her favorites.


    These breakfasts were actually not what Xu Baohan was good at in the past. It was because after the two of them got together, he knew that he had picked up her preferences bit by bit, especially the rice cake, which was all made by him personally.


    It was in those little moments that her heart was slowly softened by him.


    She suddenly felt a little frustrated. Why was her heart always so soft? This time, she definitely couldnt let it go so easily. She had to crush Zhuang Tianya into pieces.


    When she was about to go to work at 8:30, Xu Baohan called. She didnt pick up, but he refused to give up. He had no choice, so he picked up.


    Xu Baohan didntin over the phone. He only asked, Have you eaten breakfast?


    No, I threw it in the trash can. An Lan suddenly regretted her words. Wasnt she calling her stomach a trash can.


    An Lan, those are all your favorite foods. Theres no need to be so mean to your stomach, Xu Baohan said. When are you moving back today? Ill help you move your things.


    I dont have anything, I can handle it myself, An Lan mocked. Im not a fragile woman like your ex-girlfriend. Im a strong woman who can wake up immediately after fainting on the ground.


    Xu Baohan had a headache and had no choice but to change the topic. What do you want to eat tonight? Ill make it for you.


    Why didnt you answer my question? An Lan continued to be sarcastic. Do you think what I said makes sense?


    Xu Baohan felt a headacheing. An Lan, I think you are trying to pick a fight with me now.


    Youre right, Im angry when I hear your voice. An Lan was also very depressed. She was not a person who could easily lose control of her emotions, but now, she waspletely disrupted by this person.


    You can be angry with me, but dont be angry with yourself. Xu Baohan rubbed his temples and finally said helplessly, An Lan, why dont we meet up with Zhuang Tianya? Ill exin everything to her in front of her.


    What are you talking about? Youre making it sound like I really care about her existence. Even though thats the truth, Zhuang Tianya might be very pleased when she finds out.


    An Lan said exasperatedly, A woman like her doesnt even have the right to be my opponent, let alone have a face-to-face conversation with me. Its embarrassing to think that a woman like her would actually be my love rival. Please, even if you find me a love rival, can you find someone prettier, better at earning money, or better than me? If you dont have any of those, where can I put my face?


    Yes, yes, its my fault, my taste is too bad, Xu Baohan agreed, Theres nothing I can do, shes too ordinary, but youre unique, she can be reced, but youre irreceable, I really cant find a love rival thats on par with you, Im too useless, I should die for making you lose face, Lawyer An.


    An Lan felt like she had punched a piece of cotton. It was both funny and annoying. Alright, Im toozy to waste my life with you. My time is very precious. As for you, youre not as precious as a minute of my time.


    She hung up right after that.


    Xu Baohan looked at the end of the call.. He looked up and saw Su Run standing at the door with a strange expression.

 Chapter 2021. An Lan, Are You Going to Eat with Him Again Tonight?

    Chapter 2021. An Lan, Are You Going to Eat with Him Again Tonight?


    Su Run coughed lightly and really wanted to ask, Chief Judge, are you still the chief judge that I know?.


    However, working in front of Xu Baohan, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood and was absent-minded. He was often repressed, like a wild beast that was about to go berserk at any moment.


    There was nothing else that could cause him to be like this other than An Lan.


    Now that he was finally able to speak to An Lan, he was d to be even her assistant.


    Chief Judge, have you reconciled with Lawyer An? Su Run asked with a smile.


    Yes, Xu Baohan suddenly raised his head and said to him, Su Run, youve been with me for two years. Sooner orter, youll be able to take care of things on your own. Do your best and share more of the burden with the court. Im nning to apply for annual leave recently.


    Su Run was stunned. Ive been busy at the end of the year recently.


    I havent used up my annual leave, if I dont, itll be next year again. Xu Baohan lowered his gaze and told him about his rtionship for the first time. I want to spend some time with An Lan, weve been too busy recently.


    But is Lawyer An free? Su Run wanted to cry, but he had no tears. If Xu Baohan took his leave, then wouldnt the pressure on his work be even greater? He had lost a lot of hair recently.


    She doesnt need to be free, I just want to apany her. Xu Baohan flipped through the documents, his eyes shing with a hint of gentleness.


    An Lan stepped into thew firms office. In order to avoid Xu Baohan, she had note to the office these past few days. As soon as she entered the office, she received a call from Xuan Yuang.


    How was it? How did it go with your boyfriendst night? Xuan Yuangs voice sounded like he didnt mind themotion.


    An Lan sighed. Senior, what did you want to dost night? Its very misleading.


    Isnt it good to be misunderstood? Xuan Yuang smiled faintly, From the looks of you yesterday, I guessed that there must be something wrong. No matter whose fault it is, youre my junior, so Ill definitely help you. I did that in the hopes that he would understand that youre very outstanding and that theres nock of suitors around you. If he doesnt know how to cherish you, youll soon be snatched away by others. Men need a sense of crisis. Otherwise, after being together for a long time, he might naturally think that youre his.


    An Lan had already expected this, but when she heard him say it out loud, she felt a warmth in her heart. Senior, thank you.


    You should really thank me, Xuan Yuang said faintly. Your boyfriends grip is too strong, and its hurting my bones. Hes too ruthless.


    An Lan thought about the way the two of them foughtst night and found it funny. It seems like you used a lot of strength as well.


    Why, do you feel sorry for him? Xuan Yuang said with a faint smile.


    No, I just think you can use more strength.


    Xuan Yuangughed. Sure, Ill use all my strength the next time we meet.


    The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. After all, Zhuo Cheng had a meeting in the afternoon, and An Lan would definitely be there.


    Around three in the afternoon, just before the meeting started, An Lans phone rang. Xuan Yuang was sitting beside her when he saw the three words Xu Baohan appearing on the screen.


    An Lan ced the phone to her ear.


    Xu Baohans deep and gentle voice sounded. Are you going back for dinner tonight? When are you going back? I dont have the keys


    Im eating outside


    Just as An Lan finished speaking, Xuan Yuang came over and said loudly, Junior, what do you want to eat tonight? How about Cantonese food?


    Xu Baohan on the other end of the phone was instantly enraged. Why was it this persons voice again? An Lan, are you going to eat with him again tonight?


    Xuan Yuang continued, Lets go to the Hibiscus Pavilion at the side.. The roast goose there is especially delicious, you will definitely like it.

 Chapter 2022. Are You Concerned About Me

    Chapter 2022. Are You Concerned About Me


    An Lan looked at him speechlessly.


    Xuan Yuang gave her a yful shrug.


    On the other end of the phone, Xu Baohan felt like he was being roasted by a raging fire. He wanted to remind her loudly that they hadnt broken up yet, but she would definitely refute him with the IV drip treatment with Zhuang Tianya, he could only endure it and say, The roast goose is really delicious. I havent eaten it in a long time. Where is Hibiscus Pavilion? Ill go too.


    An Lan was surprised. With his jealous personality, she thought he would be angry. Theres no need. There are more than a dozen people eating with us, as well as the people from the seniorpany.


    What he meant was that it was just apany meal.


    Xu Baohan heaved a sigh of relief, but in his heart, he had already regarded Xuan Yuang as his number one rival. That fellow was definitely trying to take advantage of the situation. To be poached like this, did he think he was dead? Thats even better. Let me get to know more of the people you usually work with.


    An Lan rubbed her forehead. Were talking about business. Why are you, a Chief Judge, joining in on the fun? If word gets out, it wont be good for your reputation.


    What she said was indeed the truth. Officials and businessmen had always been taboo.


    Xu Baohan was happy to hear that, the corners of his lips curving up. An Lan, are you concerned about me?


    Forget it. An Lan couldnt stand his smug look, so she hung up the phone. She then sighed and said to Xuan Yuang, Senior, are you addicted to acting?


    You should be content. With an outstanding man like me willing to be the second male lead and cannon fodder, Xuan Yuang said as he twirled the pen in his hand. His gaze was dark. I bet he will definitelye tonight.


    An Lan was embarrassed. We really have to go to Hibiscus Pavilion for dinner tonight.


    Is that the main point? Xuan Yuang was slightly stunned.


    Of course, the dishes at Hibiscus Pavilion are very expensive. An Lan nodded her head.


    Xuan Yuang smiled when he heard that, his eyes shining.


    Xu Baohan struggled for a while before he directly navigated to Hibiscus Pavilion after work. It was quite a distance away, and there was a traffic jam on the way there. By then, it was already 6:40 pm.


    When he reached the door, he called An Lan, but no one picked up.


    He could only brace himself and walk in. The interior was magnificently decorated, and the restaurant was veryrge. It was split into three floors, the main hall downstairs and the private chamber upstairs. The moment he entered, a waiter asked, Sir, do you have a friend eating here or have you reserved a private chamber?


    This was the first time Xu Baohan had gone to the private chamber to look for someone without confidence. He was a little embarrassed, but he still answered politely, Yes my girlfriend is eating here. I didnt get through to her phone, but I dont know which private chamber she is in.


    The waiter looked at his clothes. Although he couldnt tell the brand, his suede jacket and ck trousers gave off a calm and collected aura, which made one not dare to underestimate him. Then do you know who booked the private chamber?


    Xu Baohan wanted to say Xuan Yuang, but Xuan Yuang was famous after all. He had always attracted the attention of the paparazzi, so he gave up. Hence, he said, I only know that my girlfriend is working as their legal consultant. There are quite a lot of people here, more than a dozen. My girlfriend looks like this.


    Xu Baohan showed him a photo of himself and An Lan.


    There were actually so many customersing and going every day. The waiter didnt remember so many faces. However, when he mentioned Zhuo Cheng, the waiter immediately understood.


    Tonights table was reserved by Xuan Yuang. His boss had already gone over, and when he looked at the photo again, he had an impression of this woman. She had clearly entered with Xuan Yuang previously.


    Wait here, Ill go ask. The waiter didnt dare to be careless.. After all, his boss had personally instructed him to prevent reporters from sneaking in.

 Chapter 2023. DId She Dressed So Beautifully Today to Meet Xuan Yuanlang?

    Chapter 2023. DId She Dressed So Beautifully Today to Meet Xuan Yuang?


    Seven to eight minutes after the waiter left, An Lan came down from upstairs. She was wearing a golden silk half-knitted skirt with a white checkered shirt on top and a beige knee-length jacket on the outside, looking like a beautiful scenery. Not only was she exquisite, she was also full of womanliness.


    Xu Baohan felt a tinge of jealousy inside. Did she dressed so beautifully today to meet Xuan Yuang?


    An Lan was really surprised. She didnt expect that Xuan Yuang would guess correctly and that he would reallye.


    I called you, but you didnt pick up, Xu Baohan said before she could. After saying that, he looked at her with a bitter gaze. Were you too happy with Xuan Yuang and forgot about my existence?


    An Lan frowned. Xu Baohan, dont think that Im you, okay?


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips and lowered his long eyshes. He knew it would end up like this. I didnt forget about your existence, never. Can you bring a plus one for this dinner? If you cant, Ill order a meal in the hall and wait for you to finish eating before going downstairs.


    He sounded extremely wronged.


    An Lan rubbed the space between her brows. Alright, follow me up.


    Xu Baohan followed.


    The private chamber was on the third floor, the innermost andrgest private chamber.


    When they pushed open the door and entered, there were more than ten people sitting inside. When they saw An Lan bring in a cold-looking man, everyone was stunned. Mo Rong smiled and said, Lawyer An, your boyfriends face have finally been revealed. Hes really handsome.


    An Lan smiled faintly. Xu Baohan nodded at the people inside and his gaze fell on Xuan Yuang, who was sitting at the main seat. He took off his coat and wore a white shirt. He seemed to have be the most dazzling man at the dining table. There was an empty seat beside him, he ced An Lans bag.


    Xu Baohans eyes darkened. An Lan said to the waiter, Add another chair.


    Xu Baohan walked over and met Xuan Yuangs gaze. He spoke first, I forgot to introduce you yesterday, Xu Baohan.


    He stretched out his hand.


    Xuan Yuang saw the red mark on his hand that had not faded. This was the wound fromst night when they shook hands. The corner of his mouth twitched.


    This guy was really perverted. Last night, both of them had used all their strength. Was he going to fight again today.


    However, there were so many subordinates present today, he didnt want to do that.


    An Lan reacted quickly as well, grabbing Xu Baohans outstretched hand. We shook yesterday, theres no need for that today. Have a seat.


    Xu Baohan nced at the hand he was holding, the corners of his lips curving up slightly, then he nced at Xuan Yuang.


    After taking a seat, An Lan instantly felt everyones gaze fall on her.


    Mo Rong joked, Lawyer An, youre really lucky to have two of the most handsome men sitting beside you.


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows and An Lan smiled. Sometimes, luck can be a form of pressure. Why do I feel like everyone is looking at me with envy and jealousy?


    Everyoneughed.


    Xu Baohan looked at An Lan with a strange expression. This was the first time he was socializing with her. Although he knew that she was good at socializing, it was better to see her with his own eyes. It was like seeing a brand new An Lan.


    Mo Lan changed the topic. Oh right, did Mr. Xu meet with our CEO yesterday?


    We metst night, Xu Baohan replied calmly.


    Mo Rong suddenly understood. She was afraid that Xu Baohan would misunderstand and affect his rtionship with An Lan, so she added, Last night, Lawyer An and the CEO were tasting the fresh ingredients from our supermarket.. I think Lawyer An must have been exhausted and didnt return home untilte.

 Chapter 2024. Xu Baohans Expression Was Getting Colder

    Chapter 2024. Xu Baohan''s Expression Was Getting Colder


    Xu Baohan was stunned. Didnt Xuan Yuang cook for An Lanst night? Why were the two of them eating in the supermarket.


    After Mo Rong finished speaking, she suddenly felt a cold gaze fall on her. When she looked over, it seemed to be Xuan Yuangs gaze.


    Mo Rong froze. Did she say something wrong.


    Xuan Yuang sighed in his heart. His cousin really knew how to backstab him.


    So youre eating in the supermarket. Xu Baohan nced over at Xuan Yuang with a hint of sarcasm in his mouth.


    Isnt that right? Xuan Yuang sighed as she crossed her hands, Our Zhuocheng Fresh Supermarket has just opened for business. Mr. Xu might not know this, but this is an online and offline high-end supermarket. Other than the fresh vegetables freshly grown by farmers from all over the country, there are also top imported meats from overseas. There are more than 3,000 types of products, all kinds. Last night, I asked An Lan to pick any ingredients she liked in the supermarket and I personally cooked them,


    Spanish red wine, Australias top steak, Argentine shrimp, Antarctic cod, Antic salmon, French oysters. After dinner, Japanese ice cream, Thai yogurt, Korean fruit drinks, and Chiles fresh cherry


    As he continued, everyone fell silent. They looked at An Lan with unspeakable envy and jealousy.


    Although they were all employees of thepany, who could enjoy themselves as much as An Lan.


    A single dinner was enough to eat all the best food in the world. How was he going to eat this dinner.


    Xu Baohans initially mocking expression had already turned as stiff as the ice of the North Pole.


    He had always known An Lan. How could he not know that she had studied abroad and had a preference for imported food.


    Especially since these ingredients were among the best in the world.


    An Lan was speechless. If she ate it, she would eat it. Senior, do you have to say it out loud? Wouldnt this cause public anger? However, thinking about it carefully,st night was indeed very enjoyable.


    A female supervisor at the table said with aplicated expression, Lawyer An, your appetite is quite good.


    On the other side, the general manager hurriedly ttered, Then our CEOs cooking must be good.


    Speaking of which, Ive never tasted CEOs culinary skills before. Lawyer An is truly impressed.


    Everyone was talking at once, as though they had forgotten about Xu Baohans existence. Some of them still remembered him, but they were all shrewd people. If their CEO treated Lawyer An so well, then perhaps he was trying to poach someone else. As his subordinate, they definitely had to help.


    An Lan noticed that Xu Baohans expression was getting colder and uglier.


    For a moment, she thought that with his temper, he would drag her away.


    After a moment of silence, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of roast goose for An Lan. He asked gently, What do you think of the ingredients in their supermarket?


    An Lan was stunned and nodded. Its fine.


    Then lets go shopping after dinner. I havent been there before and there arent many ingredients left in the fridge. You can buy some fruits and vegetables that you like. As for ice cream and yogurt, we have machines at home and we can make our own. Homemade is more nutritious and its not good for women to eat too much ice cream. Remember to eat lesser in the future, Xu Baohan said in a low voice, his tone was naturally concerned, but his pleasant voice also attracted the attention of some people at the table.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows.. This guy easily turned the situation around just now, but he was also a sharp-tongued person who could not be taken advantage of.

 Chapter 2025. Did They Think He Was Invisible or Blind

    Chapter 2025. Did They Think He Was Invisible or Blind


    Yes, the roast goose in this shop is indeed delicious. Before she could speak, Xu Bohans handsome brows curved, CEO Xuan, Im sorry to have made you spend so much money again today. Speaking of which, Ive worked in Xia City for many years. I remember that this is the first time yourpany hase to Xia City to open apany. Let me remind you, you must take proper fire control precautions when opening a supermarket. You must not be careless.


    The table was filled with a group of smart people. The sudden mention of fire control made the scalps of the management staff present go numb.


    Everyone knew thating to Xia City was the first step in the expansion of the fresh meat supermarket chain. Everyone here was in a lot of trouble. Those who had participated in it knew that the most troublesome thing was not the funding problem, but the rted procedures, especially the fire control problem, the procedures were even more troublesome.


    They were outsiders, but to put it bluntly, the ones they were most afraid of provoking were the locals who were well-known here.


    Mo Rongs mind spun, and she quickly looked at Xuan Yuang.


    Xuan Yuangs lips curled into a smile, his expression calm as he replied, Since were open for business, well definitely do our best with the fire protection measures, but thank you for your reminder, Mr. Xu. Heres to you.


    He raised his ss.


    Ill use tea as a substitute for the wine. I need to driveter. Xu Baohan had just arrived and didnt have a cup, so he took An Lans Teacup. There was a red lipstick mark on it.


    The wine ss clinked lightly. An Lan, who was sandwiched in the middle, felt the de in Xu Baohans eyes. Her scalp went numb and she wanted to finish eating and leave as soon as possible.


    However, when arge group of people gathered together for a meal, they definitely wouldnt be eating and drinking. It was inevitable that they would talk about work, so An Lan quickly brought the topic back to work.


    The mealsted until 8:30 pm. After it was over, Mo Rong reminded her with a smile, Lawyer An,ter, bring Mr. Xu around our fresh produce supermarket.


    An Lans lips curled into an embarrassed smile. Xu Baohan gently held her hand and answered on her behalf, I will buy more produce from your supermarket.


    Take your time to choose. Anyway, An Lan has a lot of cards from our supermarket, she will use them sooner orter. Xuan Yuang put on his coat and walked over with a smile. Junior, I will return to Beijing tomorrow. I will leave the legal matters here to you.


    An Lan nodded. Before she could say anything, Xu Baohan had already said, Have a safe trip.


    He held back the words, Missing halfway.


    Thank you, Xuan Yuang smiled as though he did not see the hostility in his eyes. He turned to An Lan and said affectionately, I will take care of you. Junior, if you break up, contact me immediately. I will always be waiting for you behind. I cant say that I can give you absolute happiness, but I can give you a chance to treat the supermarket like your own refrigerator. You can always eat whatever you want and take as much as you want. Even if it is something rare in the world, I can dig it out for you.


    After that, he strode off without looking back.


    Xu Baohan looked at his back, gnashing his teeth in hatred.


    He had seen people trying to poach him, but he had never seen someone so brazen. Did they think he was invisible or blind.


    He sneered, he turned to An Lan and said, He looks like an experienced lover. An Lan, dont be deceived by his sweet words. Even though I dont have a supermarket, I can still afford what you want to eat. Besides, hes from Beijing, he definitely wont stay in Xia City for you in the future. What about your younger sister?


    An Lan nced at him helplessly and walked forward. Im going back.


    Dont go, Lets go to the supermarket. Xu Baohan went forward and grabbed her hand. Ill buy everything you ate yesterday and cook for you.. Lets see whos the better cook.

 Chapter 2026. When Did you Get Tang Zhengs Phone Number

    Chapter 2026. When Did you Get Tang Zheng''s Phone Number


    An Lan looked at him from head to toe with a smile and said, You dont have to try anymore. You dont even know how to fry a steak, how can youpare yourself to him? Moreover, if one were to talk about his culinary skills, he would be a five-star chef.


    Xu Baohan smiled, I dont know how to fry a steak, but I know how to braise a steak, stir-fry a steak, roast a steak. An Lan, I definitely know more tricks than him. Even if you eat a lot of fish, meat, and exotic delicacies, you will get sick of them. Moreover, your cholesterol will increase. We are already thirty, so you should be more careful.


    An Lan rolled her eyes speechlessly. I wont go to the supermarket. If you want to go, go by yourself. Im going home.


    After saying that, she walked out of the restaurant.


    Take my car. Xu Baohan caught up to her and pulled her back. An Lan, you were drunk just now. You cant drink and drive.


    Dont I know how to take a taxi? An Lan said deliberately.


    Taking a taxi requires money, but I dont want it. I can pay you back. Xu Baohan shamelessly dragged her to his car. On the way here, he summarized his experience. As long as he put down his pride, he believed that everything was possible.


    An Lan wasnt that stupid. Although she felt ufortable, his identity as a boyfriend was still there. There was no need to fight it.


    However, she went straight to the backseat. There was a bouquet of flowers on the backseat and a newly bought scarf.


    An Lan opened the scarf and took a look. It was a coffee-colored checkered scarf. It was quite stylish.


    I think this color suits you. Xu Baohan quickly stood beside the car and said with a worried heart, The flowers are also for you. An Lan, Im sorry for making you unhappy a few days ago.


    An Lan turned back and nced at him. He looked so cautious now. He was no longer as cold and aloof as he used to be in court. She sighed in her heart. The two of them had many faces, You gave me a nest time when we quarreled. This time, its a scarf, but it doesnt work every time. Besides the flowers you gave me arent as good-looking as the ones Tang Zheng gave me.


    Xu Baohan felt depressed. Tang Zheng had been provoked because of Zhuang Tianya. In the past, it was nothing to see him giving flowers every day, but now he was really smacking his own face.., Thats different. These flowers were carefully chosen by me. I dont think he has even seen the flowers he gave you


    This was definitely a matter of the heart.


    Oh, An Lan came to a realization. Even when he gave me flowers, he didnt even need to look at them to be able to look better than the flowers you carefully selected. This is a matter of taste ?


    Xu Baohan was stunned, but he quickly came up with a solution, I really dont know much about flower shops. I bought them at the flower shop next to the courthouse. I didnt like to send flowers to women in the past. Im not like him who often send flowers to women, so hes very experienced. Next time, how about I go online and find out which flowers in Xia City are the best looking?


    I think you should ask Tang Zheng, An Lan said kindly. I have Tang Zhengs phone number. After all, he is very experienced in sending flowers to your ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend.


    As a judge, Xu Baohan could only smile bitterly for the first time. An Lan, when did you get Tang Zhengs phone number?


    Oh, didnt I know when you lied to me about apany your ex-girlfriend for IV drip treatment, I asked Tang Zheng out for a meal the next day, An Lan sighed, The two of us chatted for a long time, talking about you, his ex-girlfriend, and him. I have a new understanding of him. Some people may look annoying, but it isnt easy to understand them. Some people may look aloof, but they are actually quite stupid.. Some people may look pitiful, but they are actually quite hypocritical.

 Chapter 2027. Is Her Phone More Important Than Him Now

    Chapter 2027. Is Her Phone More Important Than Him Now


    Xu Baohan:


    Only a fool wouldnt be able to tell which three people she was referring to. She was definitely the fool in her heart, but she didnt expect Tang Zhengs impression of her to have changed so much.


    Xu Baohans handsome face was filled with a hint of annoyance.


    Do you have any objections to what I Said? An Lan lowered her head and brushed the white rose beside her. Judge Xu, you can bring it up. After all, youre a judge, the conclusion is all yours.


    It was just a few words, but there was an inexplicable sense of danger in them.


    Xu Baohanposed himself and smiled calmly, I have no objections. I think your description is spot-on, but you were wrong about something earlier. Although Im a judge in my work, youre a judge in my life. Youre the one who can decide my fate with a single sentence.


    An Lan raised her eyebrows and nced at him. Her gaze was strange for a moment before she smiled. Im going too far.


    No, Xu Baohan shook his head and said seriously, Lawyer An has a keen eye for discerning people. I admire you very much. I want to learn from you.


    An Lan sized him up for a while. A man was really good when he was shameless.


    However, she felt a little better. After all, he was quite self-aware this time.


    Alright, you can drive.


    Xu Baohan nodded and got into the drivers seat.


    It was almost 9:20 when they arrived at An Lans house.


    When An Lan went upstairs, he followed her. An Lan turned back and said calmly, We dont live together anymore. Just send me home. You can go back now. I still have my own matters to attend to at home. I dont have time for you.


    Xu Baohan was stunned. Do you still have work at night? Dont stay up toote.


    No, An Lan smiled. I still have to shower and y with my phone. Do you know how much young people like to y with their phones? Finding time to y with your phone every day is already the most rare time of the day, Dont disturb me.


    Xu Baohan felt like he was stabbed by a thousand knives, is her phone more important than him now? An Lan, its cold now, you need someone to warm your bed, I can help you warm it before you leave.


    Anyway, as long as he could maintain his presence, he was willing to do anything.


    An Lan turned to look at him carefully, that look made Xu Baohans heart tighten, afraid that she would say that he was shameless.


    Luckily, she nodded. That makes sense, its really cold in the winter, and I havent been home for many days, there should be a lot of dust at home


    I can clean it, Xu Baohan said hurriedly.


    Thank you for your hard work, An Lan said with a satisfied expression.


    Once the elevator reached the door, An Lan opened it and changed her shoes. Since youve lived here before, I wont say much. Ill go up and take a shower, you do your own thing.


    Okay.


    Xu Baohan watched her enter the room before taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves. It was rare for An Lan to give him a chance, so he would definitely be satisfied with her.


    Fortunately, An Lans house wasnt particrly messy, it was just dusty. However, in order to make An Lan look at him in a new light, he used all his skills, even wiping every tile in the toilet clean.


    It wasnt until eleven oclock that An Lans gaze moved away from her phone. When she saw her own house, she was stunned. The floor was so clean that she could look in the mirror. There were also some messy things in the house that were neatly arranged.


    Xu Baohan washed the rag and looked at her with a smile. An Lan, Ive finished cleaning the house.

 Chapter 2028. There Wasnt a Shred of Sympathy In Her Eyes

    Chapter 2028. There Wasn''t a Shred of Sympathy In Her Eyes


    An Lan took a look around the house, and she was starting to admire him. She had never been so clean before, but she knew that he wasnt a well-organized and hygienic man.


    Not bad, An Lan nodded.


    Perhaps it was because she had been too cold recently, but Xu Baohans heart was filled with sweetness. Ill warm your bed then.


    An Lan looked at him deeply and nodded. You should go take a shower first. I saw that youve gotten quite a bit of dust from the cleaning, and your clothes are still in their original ce.


    Xu Baohan thought back to the past, and his heart throbbed violently. Even the breath he exhaled was warm. Okay.


    After showering, he crawled into her bed. It was filled with her fragrance. This was not the first time he had slept on this bed, but this time, he felt like he wouldnt be able to sleep on it for the rest of his life.


    He had to cherish it in future.


    Xu Baohan closed his eyes. He had been working a lot these past few days, and in order to spend the night with her, he didnt even rest in the afternoon. He had just cleaned the entire house, and now he felt very sleepy and tired.


    He had a premonition that An Lans heart must have softened when she asked him to stay behind to warm the bed. He had been fine just now, and she probably wouldnt let him go back at night. After all, it was almost midnight, and his home was too far from here, so it wasnt convenient.


    She wouldnt be so heartless.


    His thoughts ran wild for an unknown amount of time before he slowly fell asleep. In his daze, he was suddenly woken up.


    When he opened his eyes, An Lan was standing by the bed, a smile hanging on her beautiful face. Darling, thank you for warming my bed, you should go back.


    Xu Baohan rubbed his eyes and sat up. He wasnt really awake yet, but he subconsciously picked up his phone to check the time. It was 12:30 in the morning.


    So he still had to drive home at 12:30 am?


    An Lan, its toote. Ill stay in the guest room for the night. Ill go to work tomorrow morning. Xu Baohan knew that it was impossible to sleep in the same bed, so he knew his limits.


    Then whats the difference between living with me like this? Theres no point in me taking your keys backst night. An Lans smile grew brighter and brighter, Comrade Xu, when I told you to go back, you didnt go back. You were the one who offered to stay and warm my bed. Could it be that youve been thinking about staying and not going back since the beginning?


    Xu Baohan lowered his gaze and braced himself to deny, I didnt


    He definitely couldnt admit that when he had fallen asleep under the nket, he had thought that he would definitely be able to stay tonight.


    Its good that you didnt. If you really had such thoughts, then I wouldnt have allowed you toe in at night for the time being. Otherwise, it would have been easy to send you off, An Lan said as she looked at her watch, Theres no traffic jam at this time. Its supposed to be an hours drive, so we should be there in about 40 minutes. Hurry up and get dressed, its veryte, Im going to bed too.


    Do you know its gettingte.


    Xu Baohan stared at An Lan for a while. Seeing that there was no shred of sympathy in her eyes, he had already guessed that she was doing this on purpose.


    Forget it, as long as she was happy.


    He smiled bitterly, put on his clothes and walked out of An Lans house.


    Just as the door closed, he heard the sound of a lock being knocked down.


    Women were really ruthless when they were ruthless, he really missed An Lan of the past.


    When he walked to the parking lot, the temperature in Xia City dropped abruptly in the wee hours of the morning, it was only six to seven degrees Celsius.


    The temperature difference in Xia City was huge, Xu Baohan did not even wear a sweater, he shivered and quickly got into his car to turn on the heater.

 Chapter 2029. Dont Call Me Ah Han

    Chapter 2029. Don''t Call Me Ah Han


    In the next few days, An Lan did the same.


    Although Xu Baohan knew that she was deliberately making him unhappy, he was happy to dig deeper. He also knew that An Lan was actually holding back her anger. As long as she let it out, their rtionship would slowly improve.


    After Li Yuchen found out, he couldnt help reminding An Lan when they were having bento lunch at thew firm. Be careful, you might chase Xu Baohan away from you. A mans patience has its limits.


    Why are you speaking up for him again? An Lan stirred the food in her bowl, her gaze carrying a deeper meaning.


    Dont misunderstand, he didnt look for me. Li Yuchen quickly waved his hand. When he asked me where you lived, I didnt say a word. Dont you believe me? I just feel that you didnt choose to break up with him, which means you still want to be with him.


    An Lan casually picked up a piece of cauliflower. She had to admit that Li Yuchen was right about her heart. He was a man who had been intimate with her, and breaking up with him was not an easy decision.


    Li Yuchen reminded her, Dont forget, his ex-girlfriend lives near his house. If you treat him so badly now, that White Lotus might really change his heart. You may have asked him to warm your bed, but the White Lotus is probably willing to fight to warm his bed. You know why so many men still cheat after chasing after their goddess in their hearts. Its because the goddess is so high and mighty. Hes tired of being ttered and annoyed. A woman who ttered him appeared. Even if shes not outstanding in all aspects, he still cheated with her.


    If there really is such a day An Lan paused, taking a deep breath before raising her eyes. Then it can only be said that his feelings for me are only so-so. Even if he doesnt leave today, he will leave sooner orter.


    Li Yuchens lips parted slightly. It did seem to make sense.


    Friday, 7:50 am. Xu Baohan yawned as he stood by the door to buy fried dumplings.


    Recently, he had been returning home at around 1 am every day. During the day, he had been working a lot and felt that he didnt get enough sleep. He would usually cook noodles at his house, but recently, he really didnt have the energy to do so. He basically just went out to buy some breakfast.


    There were quite a lot of people lining up in the morning. He just wanted to hurry up so that he wouldnt run into Zhuang Tianya.


    But sometimes, it was such a coincidence. After buying the fried dumplings, he turned around and saw Zhuang Tianya walking over with her bag. When she saw him, she waved her hand. What are you eating?


    Xu Baohan felt a headache whenever he saw her. His expression was indifferent and he didnt reply much. Im in a hurry to go to work.


    Zhuang Tianya was stunned and she quickly said, Ah Han, whats wrong with you? Seeing me is like seeing a monster. I didnt do anything. Did your girlfriend misunderstand me and argue with you the other day?


    Xu Baohan paused for a few seconds before turning back, his gaze deep and indifferent.


    Zhuang Tianya sized him up affectionately, her heart aching. You seem to have looked a lot more haggard recently. Are you too tired and havent slept well? Although work is important, you still have to pay attention to your health. Dont tire yourself out at such a young age, you used to be a workaholic


    No matter what happened in the past, at least we are no longer rted, Xu Baohan interrupted her, Your existence has indeed affected me and my girlfriend. I cant interfere with where you live, but I hope that even if we meet, theres no need for us to greet each other, theres no need for us to contact each other. Dont mention the past. And dont call me Ah Han, we have nothing to do with each other.

 Chapter 2030. This Is My Home Too, I Am Still Your Father

    Chapter 2030. This Is My Home Too, I Am Still Your Father


    Zhuang Tianyas face was filled with shock and hurt. After a while, she asked hardly, Did I do anything wrong?


    I dont know if you did anything wrong, I only know that I did something wrong, Xu Baohan said in a deep and cold voice,  After breaking up, you shouldnt be involved anymore. Its not that you care about it, its that you dont want to bring trouble to your partner. Even the bits and pieces of the past should bepletely erased. I think you should do the same. Is there any point in always mentioning the past? We are people living in the present and the future, not living in the past. And to be clear, you will not be involved in my future.


    Zhuang Tianyas eyes reddened from his cruel words. Dont you think youve gone too far by doing this to me? Last time at the hospital was a misunderstanding


    Maybe its a misunderstanding, Xu Baohan interrupted her, his tone getting colder and colder, But Im afraid youre not aware that your ex-boyfriend has been pestering An Lan. May I ask what kind of rtionship I had with Tang Zheng? It was all because I was dating you in the past and you broke up with him. He thought that it was because you couldnt forget your old feelings for me, so he med everything on me. He sent flowers to An Lan every day, causing her trouble, but he didnt like An Lan at all. He just wanted to poach the person I liked and let me have the taste of his pain.


    Xu Baohan was angry, especially now that An Lans impression of Tang Zheng had changed, Youre no longer the immature little girl you were back then. Youre an adult in your twenties, why cant you be more mature when dealing with rtionships, this had caused a lot of inconvenience to others


    You were the one who wanted to be with Tang Zheng back then, and you were the one who wanted to break up with him, but I was always the one who was harassed by him, and there might be a trend of things getting worse in the future. Can you please exin it to him, I beg you to stop I dont want to be involved in your love life, I just want to live a peaceful life with the woman I love.


    He reprimanded her harshly. Zhuang Tianya rarely saw him with such a stern expression. Her body swayed, and her eyes turned red in pain. I


    Eh, Bo Han, Tianya, you guys are back together?


    On the roadside, in a ck Porsche SUV, a slightly plump middle-aged man walked out. Time left traces on his face, but Zhou Zhengs features showed that he was a rarely seen handsome man when he was young.


    Xu Baohans expression darkened when he saw him. What kind of unlucky day was this? Why are you here?


    Xu Jinfei frowned. Why cant Ie? This is my home too, and Im still your father.


    After that, he looked at Zhuang Tianya, who quickly wiped the corner of her eyes. Uncle Xu, long time no see.


    Why, did he make you cry again? Xu Jinfei looked at Xu Baohan with a sullen face, Xu Baohan, if you werent my biological son, I would have suspected that your heart was made of stone. you treated your ex-fiance as if you are such a cruel person.


    Weve broken up a few years ago. Xu Baohan narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold. Dont you know that?


    Xu Jinfei was stunned, a hint of regret shed in his eyes. If you guys had broken up, why are you still standing at the doorstep? I know, are you nning to get back together?


    Are you done yet? Xu Baohan was extremely impatient. He wanted to make things clear, but who knew that a person who had disappeared for a few years would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Havent we already ended our father-son rtionship? I dont need you to meddle in my affair.

 Chapter 2031. He Slowly Buried His Face in the Palm of His Hand

    Chapter 2031. He Slowly Buried His Face in the Palm of His Hand


    Xu Jinfei chuckled. Tell me, is there aw that ends the rtionship between father and Son?


    Xu Baohans handsome face had an undercurrent of emotions and he did not say a word.


    Zhuang Tianya, on the other hand, hurriedly exined, Uncle Xu, dont misunderstand. We did not get back together. Its just that I lived across the street and happened to bump into him when I was buying breakfast.


    You lived across the street too? Xu Jinfei narrowed his eyes and smiled. Living alone, not married, right? I heard that you were engaged to Tang Zheng in the past?


    Zhuang Tianya was stunned, lowering her head unnaturally. Im single now, we broke up.


    Oh, Xu Jinfei raised his brows and nodded. Lovers who have been apart for so many years, living so close together, this is fate..


    What are you doing here? Xu Baohan couldnt take it anymore and interrupted him. Dont say nonsense. I have a girlfriend. Zhuang Tianya, you should leave. This is between us, father and son.


    Zhuang Tianya bit her lip and nodded helplessly. Uncle, dont quarrel whenever you two meet. If theres anything, lets talk it out. After all, both of you are biological father and son.


    She left with a bitter expression.


    Xu Jinfei watched her cross the road before looking away. When did you find a girlfriend? What does she do? Does your mother know?


    Xu Baohan looked at his fathers expression indifferently. Didnt he know what kind of person he was? He was a person who despised the poor and loved the rich.., No matter what she does, she is still my girlfriend. Please dont interfere in my affairs. You said it yourself back then. Treat your son as dead. Im very busy and Im about to go to work. If you want to go home, go ahead. The key hasnt changed. Please dont disturb me anymore. Theres nothing to talk about between the two of us. If you are looking for me to help with the rtionship, it is even more impossible.


    Unfilial son, Xu Jinfei was so angry that his body was trembling. I came back to inform you that your grandfather passed awayst night due to illness.


    Xu Baohans departing figure froze.


    Xu Jinfei continued, Its at the funeral parlour in Ye city, its up to you whether you want to go. To be honest, if it wasnt for your cold-blooded and merciless nature back then, watching your uncle go to jail and refusing to help, your grandfather wouldnt have been so angry that he suffered a stroke. After suffering for a few years, he couldnt endure it.


    Xu Baohan clenched his fists with difficulty. After a while, he turned sideways, half of his body sinking into the shadows of the morning sun, as cold as frost, Thats true. After suffering a stroke for so many years, he probably didnt realize that his sons imprisonment had nothing to do with his grandson. It was his fathersck of discipline


    B*stard. Xu Jinfei was furious, pping him across the face.


    But before he could touch Xu Baohans face, Xu Baohan had blocked him, holding Xu Jinfeis hand in mid-air. Dad, youre getting old. Your hand speed is much slower nowpared to your previous hit on me, and youre much more powerless.


    After he said that, he flung Xu Jinfeis hand away. Ive received your notice. If I have the time, Ill send him on hisst journey. If I dont have the time forget about it.


    After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back, not caring how fiercely Xu Jinfei was scolding him from behind.


    After getting into the car, he sat quietly for a while before slowly burying his face in his palm.


    When he rushed to the court, Su Run saw his haggard expression and sighed in shock. Chief Judge, youre ten minuteste today.


    This was the first time he had seen himte to the court.


    Mm, so be it. Xu Baohan pulled out his chair and sat down expressionlessly.


    Su Run watched his back for a while before he went out to secretly call An Lan.

 Chapter 2032. An Lan, My Grandfather... Passed Away Last Night

    Chapter 2032. An Lan, My Grandfather... Passed Away Last Night


    An Lan was about to go to a meeting when she saw Su Run calling. After some hesitation, she picked up.


    Lawyer An, this is bad, Su Runs nervous voice came through the phone. I feel like there is something wrong with the chief judge today. Heste.


    An LAN rubbed the space between her brows. Um. Imte this morning too. Not only this morning, but Im alsote for half a month. Theres nothing strange about beingte.


    Could she please find a better excuse for being soft-hearted towards Xu Bo Han?


    But the chief judge is neverte, Su Run said, Ive been working at the court for a few years, but Ive never seen himte once. Even when he had flu a few days ago, he always dragged himself to work and wasntte for a minute. When he came over this morning, he looked terrible.


    An Lan wondered if she had tortured him too much in the past few days. It was true. It was very tiring to go to work every day. At night, he still had to go over to her ce to cook dinner, clean up, warm the bed, and only go to bed after one oclock. It was indeed quite miserable However, he was a tall and strong man, so he shouldnt copse so easily, right? Could it be that the previous fever was too severe that his body had suffered too much damage?


    It was possible. After all, he was so old, he couldnt bepared to a young man in his twenties.


    Perhaps it was better not to be too ruthless tonight.


    That night, after An Lan returned home from her social gathering, she just walked out of the house when the lights in the corridor were lit up by the sound of footsteps. She looked up and saw Xu Baohan leaning against the door. The orange lights lingered around him, giving off a lonely aura.


    An Lan thought that there was something wrong with him today. Although he didnt treat her well in the past, he always had a smile on his face when he saw her.


    Youre back. When he saw her, Xu Baohan stood up straight and smiled at her, but that smile didnt reach his eyes.


    An Lan looked at him strangely. Have you eaten?


    No.


    An Lan frowned. She had replied to him on WeChat that she had a business meeting with a client at night, so why didnt he eat beforeing up? Do you want to starve to death?


    An Lan, you still care about me, right? Xu Baohans pale lips curved slightly, wanting to hug her gently.


    But before he could get close, he was blocked by An Lan with her bag.


    Seeing him like this, she suspected that Su Run had called her earlier in the morning to soften her heart. In fact, both of them were just using a trick to get to her.


    Xu Baohan stared at her for a while, lowering his long eyshes. An Lan, my grandfatherpassed awayst night.


    An Lan was stunned, probably because she rarely heard him mention his family, but in any case, they didnt interact with each other anymore. When she suddenly heard that his grandfather had died, her mind went nk for a while.


    So he had a grandfather.


    She had always thought that he might have died long ago.


    The corridormp above her head was switched off, and through the moonlight, the sadness on his body overflowed.


    This was the first time she had seen Xu Baohan so lonely, like a homeless child.


    She wanted to harden her heart, but she felt sympathy for him.


    How did he die? She asked softly. Ive never heard you mentioning him before.


    After my uncles ident, he suffered a stroke and was traumatized. Xu Baohan raised his head, his throat was slightly hoarse. Its good that hes dead. The old man suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. Its quite boring to live.


    An Lan sighed. She knew that he wasnt that cold in his heart. If he was, he wouldnt be so abnormal. Had you offer incense to him?

 Chapter 2033. An Lan, Thank You

    Chapter 2033. An Lan, Thank You


    Xu Baohans lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. I dont think anyone would wee me if I went to offer incense. My grandfather might even jump out of his coffin in anger.


    An Lan stared at him silently before taking out the key from her bag. Lets go in first.


    After changing his shoes, Xu Baohan walked into the kitchen to get a broom.


    An Lan frowned as she walked over to get the broom. She rolled her eyes at him. Forget it, todays situation is special. Dont work anymore, go and sit down.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips and said in a low voice, Let me work, I want to find something to do..


    An Lan understood that he was just trying to distract himself.


    She didnt know what to say when she saw him being so insistent.


    Xu Baohan took the broom and cleaned up the ce, making it even cleaner than before.


    An Lan saw this and prepared a bowl of noodles for him. After cing the noodles on the table, she walked over and forcefully threw away the rag in his hand. Then she pulled him to the dining table and sat him down. Eat.


    Xu Baohan looked at the bowl of noodles on the table. There was a medium-rare poached egg and vegetables on it.


    His heart warmed. An Lan, thank you.


    He turned back to look at her.


    An Lan hated herself for being soft-hearted, but she was not an unreasonable person. She was angry, but it was meaningless to torture someone who had family member just passed away.


    Everyone had their moments of death, and everyone had their moments of helplessness and sorrow.


    Besides, no matter how much Xu Baohan disliked his grandfather, he was still a family member whose blood was thicker than water. There was no way to change that.


    Where is your grandfathers funeral? Let me apany you tomorrow, An Lan said as she sat on the side. Even if everyone doesnt wee you. When people died it was like themp extinguished, this is the only way I can send him off.


    Xu Baohan was moved. He didnt expect her to suggest apanying him.


    His An Lan was a tough-talking but soft-hearted person.


    When An Lan saw that he was silent.., she continued, You didnt do anything wrong. Your uncles ident and your grandfathers stroke were linked together. So everyone will feel that you are responsible. In this world, there are many things that others may not understand. As long as you dont have a guilty conscience, its fine. I think you can only me your uncle. Hes such a grown man. He doesnt behave properly and he did something illegal to make his parents worry. Your grandfather is responsible too, he didnt educate his son well. Your familys rtives are responsible too. As brothers and sisters, they are aiding the wicked as they didnt stop him.


    Xu Baohan stared at her before smiling and reaching out to hug her waist.


    This time, An Lan was caught off guard and was hugged by him.


    She turned back to re at him. Dont even think about taking the opportunity to act like a hoodlum.


    An Lan, youre very good, really good. Xu Baohan leaned his head on her waist. I will never do anything to hurt you again.


    An Lan was puzzled. Werent they talking about his dead grandfather? Why was he talking about love again?


    However, seeing that he wasnt doing anything else, she decided to let him lean on her for a while.


    An Lan, I dont want you to go. Im afraid that youll run into my family and my father, Xu Baohan suddenly said with aplicated tone. You definitely wont like them.


    An Lan had a headache and finally said, Bo Han, my family isnt that great too, but when were together, Ill always stand by your side in front of my parents unreasonable behaviour. As long as you can do that, I think there wont be any problems.


    Xu Baohan nodded. There was nothing to cherish in a family like that. He only wanted to live a good life with her in the future.

 Chapter 2034. You Might be Going to the Police Station to Keep Your Filial Piety Today

    Chapter 2034. You Might be Going to the Police Station to Keep Your Filial Piety Today


    Ye City.


    It was an hours drive away from Xia City.


    On the way, An Lan knew that Xu Baohan was in a bad mood, so she chose to drive. Xu Baohan sat in the front passenger seat, looking at the bleak scenery outside. He remembered that he hadnt returned for many years. In the past, when his parents hadnt divorced.., he would return to Ye city every New Year. The roots of his family were here.


    But now, this city was unfamiliar.


    When they reached the entrance of the funeral home, An Lan parked the car and both of them walked in together.. Xu Baohan was holding a chrysanthemum in his hand. He was dressed in a ck jacket and ck trousers today, and his deep facial features gave off a cold and distant feeling.


    An Lan was dressed in ck too. After entering, she took a look at the situation inside. Old Master Xus funeral home was quiterge, and it was clearly shown that the Xu familys financial situation was not bad. Today was the first day of the funeral, and most of the Xu familys rtives were present.


    The mourning hall buzzed with discussion when they saw both of them enter. A middle-aged woman in her fifties walked out angrily, Why are you here? If it wasnt for you, your grandfather wouldnt have died so early. If I was you, I wouldnt even have the face to show up.


    Zhao Meng truly hated Xu Baohan. Back then, when her hubby was in prison, she and her daughter had knelt to beg him for help, but he wasnt willing. All these years, her hubby had been in prison, and it had been hard for her to bring her daughter along.


    Xu Baohan nced at her. Auntie, youre still so unreasonable after all these years. Get out of the way, Im not here to pay my respects to you.


    You How can you say that? Zhao Meng was so angry that she picked up the broom beside her and threw it at Xu Baohan. You caused my hubby to be in prison, and you still want to curse me to death, right?


    Xu Baohan grabbed the broom. He was strong and tall, and Zhao Meng waspletely helpless against him. She could only curse and cry like a shrew.


    Her daughter ran over to hit Xu Baohan. However, she was only in high school, so Xu Baohan allowed the child to hit him a few times.


    An Lan frowned. The Xu family didnte out to stop themotion in the mourning hall. This family was quite strange.


    If you guys continue to cause trouble, you might have to go to the police station to keep your filial piety today. An Lan took out her phone to take photos for evidence.


    Who are you? Xu Jinfei walked out with a dark expression. Why are you here?


    An Lan looked at him. Even though he had put on weight, she could tell that his facial features were simr to Xu Baohans.


    Shes my girlfriend. Xu Baohan quickly pushed his niece away and shielded An Lan behind him. His expression was cold. I know you guys dont wee me, Ill just kowtow a few times and leave.


    Delete the photo. Xu Jinfei pointed at An Lan coldly. This is a mourning hall, youre disrespecting the deceased by taking photos. Dont you even have basic manners?


    Xu Baohans eyes were filled with anger. He regretteding today, he shouldnt have brought An Lan along.


    Forget it, lets go. He turned around and held An Lans hand as they walked out. As long as one had the heart, it didnt matter where they bowed.


    Xu Jinfei was stunned and berated, Stop, dont you have any humanity? You didnt even bow when your grandfather died. Dont forget, your grandfather treated you so well in the past.


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips. He was the first eldest grandson of the Xu family and he was indeed very good to him. His grandfather was famous for prioritizing sons over daughters.


    When Im here, you guys scolded me foring. If I donte, you guys say that I have no humanity. Xu Baohanughed self-deprecatingly as his gaze swept over the faces of the Xu family members in the mourning hall.

 Chapter 2035. My Future Will Be Yours Entirely

    Chapter 2035. My Future Will Be Yours Entirely


    Xu Jinfei frowned.


    An Lan frowned and took out her phone. "I didn''t take any photos just now, you don''t have to make such a fuss."


    She had wanted to add, "At least I know how to behave in the mourning hall without making a fuss."


    However, this was Xu Baohan''s own family matter after all, so she should stay out of it.


    Xu Jinfei looked at An Lan''s displeasure. If Xu Baohan said that he had a girlfriend, then it must be her.


    He didn''t like her. Although she was beautiful, she was too fierce. Why did a woman have to be so fierce? She was too mean..


    An Lan could tell that Xu Jinfei didn''t like her anymore. She pursed her lips, not wanting to curry favor with him.


    "Can I go pay my respects now?" Xu Baohan said calmly. "If I can''t, I''ll leave then."


    Xu Jinfei red at him, his chest heaving with anger. Zhao Meng screamed, "Get lost, get as far away as possible."


    "Zhao Meng, let him pay his respects."


    In the mourning hall, an old and stooped voice came out slowly, supported by someone. It was Old Madam Xu. "The Old Master really likes Baohan, so let him send him off."


    "Mom," Zhao Meng was unwilling.


    Xu Jinfei added, "Let him go after he paid his respects."


    Zhao Meng fell silent.


    Xu Baohan held An Lan''s hand as they walked towards the spirit tablet. The two of them bowed three times before they stood up and ced their chrysanthemums before walking towards Old Madam Xu. "Grandmother..."


    Old Madam Xu slowly closed her eyes as she twirled a string of Buddhist beads in her hands. "Your grandfather was sober for a while before he died. He never med you, you should go back."


    Xu Baohan was stunned, his eyes reddening after a while. He narrowed his eyes and pursed his dry lips. "Thank you, take care of yourself, I''m leaving."


    With that, he turned around and left with An Lan.


    On the way back to the city, Xu Baohan remained silent, no one knew what he was thinking.


    An Lan did not disturb him until the car stopped at the entrance of his neighbourhood. "You should go home and rest for a while."


    She felt that Xu Baohan would rather be alone right now.


    Xu Baohan held her hand, his gaze bleak. "I''ll go over and help you cook tonight."


    An Lan looked at him andughed. "Stop cooking, you''re off today."


    "An Lan, I''m sorry for making you suffer today," Xu Baohan suddenly said with aplicated tone. "On the first day I was with you, I told myself that I wouldn''t let you suffer, but recently, you''ve been suffering a lot."


    An Lan smiled bitterly. Wasn''t she suffering, "My parents made you suffer too, didn''t they? We were attracted to each other in the beginning. Wasn''t it because we were in simr situations and could understand each other''s feelings, so we hugged each other to keep each other warm?"


    Xu Baohan stared at her for a while, then suddenly said, "An Lan, I n to sell the house here and renovate the new one. What style do you like?"


    "When did I say I was going to marry you?" An Lan raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms. "Don''t forget that I haven''t gotten over your ex-girlfriend yet."


    "I bumped into her again yesterday morning." Xu Baohan smiled. "I''ve made it clear to her that we''re strangers in the future."


    "She didn''t cry?" An Lan was surprised.


    Xu Baohan was stunned and recalled Zhuang Tianya''s appearance. "Her eyes were red. An Lan, she might really still like me. You were right in the past, I... thought too simply."


    An Lan pursed her lips. "You decided to renovate the house to avoid her?"


    Xu Baohan shook his head, looking at her gentle and sincere eyes. "I want to say goodbye to the past, my future will be yours entirely, be it my parents or Zhuang Tianya."

    Chapter 2036. Electric nket


    Xu Baohan''s brows furrowed. "But I just saw that someone else brought it in."


    The ticket inspector said helplessly, "Unless they bought it from the theater, and... you brought too much. Many people brought food in, causing the inside to be messy and the smell to be very strong. Either you eat it before going in, or put it in the storage cab outside for the time being."


    An Lan nodded, pulling Xu Baohan to the side. "Forget it, just stuff it in my bag. I think that''s what other people do, they don''t have the right to search my bag."


    Fortunately, she carried a big bag for the documents..


    Xu Baohan nced at the ticket inspector. He frowned and cleared his throat, "That person has been staring at us, it''s not good, and you can''t pack so many things. I''ll eat my share. Put your share in your bag, the movie will be screened in two minutes. Hurry up and go in, I''ll bring my bag inter."


    An Lan didn''t know whether tough or cry. Sometimes, she really didn''t know whether to say that he was too upright or too rigid, but this movie was said to be good, she really didn''t want to dy the first few minutes, she couldn''t understand what he meant. "Then I''ll go in first."


    "Okay."


    When she left, she saw Xu Baohan open the rice ball, gulping down mouthfuls of rice, his cheeks puffed up, his flustered and anxious appearance couldn''t help but make herugh.


    About five minutes after the screening, Xu Baohan came in and sat beside her. In the darkness, he found her small hand and held it. His fingers were crossed and An Lan could hear him burping non-stop.


    She looked over and Xu Baohan said calmly, "I ate too quickly."


    An Lan could not help asking, "So you ate a rice ball, a piece of cake and arge cup of drink in seven minutes?"


    Xu Baohan coughed lightly and nodded.


    An Lan gave him a thumbs up. Perhaps he had not only eaten too quickly, but he had also eaten too much. After all, he had just eaten dinner not too long ago.


    Thus, in the first twenty minutes of the movie, Xu Baohan kept burping, causing the people around him to cast disturbing gazes at him.


    ...


    After the movie ended, Xu Baohan drove back to An Lan''s house. "An Lan, I applied for my annual leave to rest for a week."


    An Lan was stunned, but she nodded. "It''s good to rest. Humans aren''t machines, we need to rx too."


    "I just want to rest and spend more time with you." Xu Baohan''s eyes were filled with a gentle smile. "I''ll cook for you and do theundry. Although I can''t open an imported supermarket for you, I have to let you know how practical I am."


    An Lan covered her forehead in amusement. Was he still fussed over Xuan Yuang? "Up to you."


    "Oh right, you still haven''t told me whether my braised steak is better or Xuan Yuang''s shoulder steak is better," Xu Baohan continued to ask meaningfully.


    An Lan turned around and asked with a faint smile, "Then may I ask if it''s morefortable for me to apany you in IV drip treatment or Zhuang Tianya apanying you?"


    "Of course it''s you," Xu Baohan quickly understood and stopped asking.


    ...


    The conversation came to an end when the car was parked in the parking space below An Lan''s building. Xu Baohan turned around, his eyes exceptionally bright and expectant in the dark. "An Lan, can I be the electric nket on your bed tonight?"


    An Lan: "..."


    Xu Baohan exined patiently, "The electric nket can maintain its temperature and not get cold. As long as I''m around, it will always be hot, and it doesn''t need to be recharged. It can save electricity and save resources."


    "Oh," An Lan was enlightened. She was so impressed by him. "Are there any other benefits? If you tell me another that can convince me, I''ll let you stay."

 Chapter 2037. Never, Never Again

    Chapter 2037. Never, Never Again


    Xu Baohan opened his mouth.


    An Lan immediately said, "Don''t act like a hooligan."


    Xu Baohan furrowed his brows and fell into a dilemma. After three seconds of silence, his thin lips moved again. "It''s safe."


    An Lan raised her eyebrows with interest, waiting for him to continue.


    Xu Baohan smiled faintly. "I once tried a case in court. The defendant was a manufacturer of electric nkets. Their electric nkets caught fire in the middle of the night. That person was lucky, but his back and buttocks werepletely burnt...."


    An Lan raised her hand to stop him from continuing. She felt that she might not even dare to use electric nkets when she grew old in the future.


    "That''s why artificial electric nkets are better." Xu Baohan''s gaze was sincere and sincere, "They won''t spontaneouslybust, they won''t short circuit. If you tell him to scram, he''ll scram. If you tell him toe, he''lle. Actually, I sincerely rmend that you use them until you grow old. It''s fine if you''re young now, you don''tck vitality. When you grow old, you''ll have to use them, especially when the weather in the future bes more and more extreme. You should also feel that the weather in Xia City today is exceptionally abnormal. In the past, the weather in Xia City wasn''t this cold. Have you watched ''Wandering Earth''? In the future, the weather on Earth will be minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius."


    An Lan didn''t know whether tough or cry. If she continued, he might even teach her about protecting the environment. "Chief Judge Xu, can I understand what you''re saying as the quality of your products in diss?"


    Xu Baohan touched his chin, "Of course I hope that the quality will get better and better, but there are still many illegal manufacturers on the market who will do anything for profit. If we want to buy, we have to buy those with proper trademarks. For example, for me, the National Judicial Brand trademark has a quality guarantee, just like how people go to public hospitals and public schools these days. With the support of the country, it''s always good."


    An Lan gave him a thumbs up and sighed in admiration. It would be a waste if he didn''t sell the electric nket. "Impressive, you win."


    Xu Baohan''s handsome face seemed to be lit up by a light in an instant. His eyes were bright and shining.


    An Lan felt as though she was being stared at by a wolf. She quickly lowered her head and got out of the car.


    Xu Baohan quickly locked the car and chased after her.


    He held her hand as they entered the elevator. He hugged her from behind and ced his hand in her pocket.


    "In public, can you be more careful?" An Lan thought to herself. This electric nket was really effective.


    "No, An Lan, I swear in the name of thew that I will never lie to you again. If I meet Zhuang Tianya, I will definitely be honest with you." Xu Baohan turned her around and stared at her.


    An Lan raised her head and stared at his delicate chin for a while before looking into his deep eyes. They were like mas that could easily suck people in.


    She took a deep breath to calm herself down, "Baohan, if there''s a next time, we will break up. Although it''s not a huge mistake based on principles, some mistakes can be forgiven the first time, but if it''s the second time, it''s an intentional mistake. Don''t make me look ridiculous, okay?"


    "Never, never again."


    ...


    The next day, when Xu Baohan woke up, An Lan was still sleeping. Her long ck hair draped over one side of her shoulders, looking exceptionally gentle.


    She had been very tired the night before, so he didn''t dare to disturb her.


    He tiptoed out of the bedroom, made breakfast, and went to work.


    Today, after he finished his work, he would be on annual leave. After a while, it would be the new year.

 Chapter 2038. Youve Been Divorced For A Few Years, What Kind Of Wind Can Suddenly Blow You Two Toget

    Chapter 2038. You''ve Been Divorced For A Few Years, What Kind Of Wind Can Suddenly Blow You Two Toget


    11:40 am, after the trial was over.


    Xu Baohan had just returned to his office, when he passed by the reception room, the person sitting on the sofa stood up. The other middle-aged woman did not move, she lowered her head and used her phone to send a Wechat message.


    "It''s almost noon, let''s have lunch together," Xu Jinfei said first, "It''s rare for your mother and I toe over together."


    Xu Baohan passed the documents to Su Run and took off his robe. His eyebrows were slightly cold. "It''s indeed rare. You''ve been divorced for a few years, what kind of wind can suddenly blow you two together?"


    Zhuang Wanling, who had been sending Wechat messages, raised her head. "It''s the end of the year, there''s nothing wrong with a family gathering."


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows without batting an eyelid.


    "Your grandfather was cremated yesterday," Xu Jinfei suddenly said.


    Xu Baohan tugged at the cor of his shirt to prevent himself from being so breathless. "I have to work overtime at noon and am very busy. Let''s talk about the real reason why I brought you here. Everyone knows what kind of family the three of us are in."


    If this father really cared about him, he wouldn''t have ignored him thest time he fallen off the building. Zhuang Wanling had at least made a trip to the hospital, but the two of them had left after getting into a fight.


    Zhuang Wanling was clearly impatient. "Why do you have to be like this? I came from Hangzhou for you so early in the morning."


    "I''m taking my annual leave tomorrow. I have a lot of things to do today." Xu Baohan nced at Su Run, who immediately closed the door and walked out.


    Zhuang Wanling was surprised. "You''re usually a workaholic, but you actually took your annual leave. Sure enough, it''s different when you have a girlfriend."


    Xu Baohan pursed his lips, unsure if he could ept it or not.


    Xu Jinfei couldn''t hold it in any longer and said, "Speaking of your girlfriend, let''s have a chat today. I met her yesterday and I don''t think she''s suitable for you. I don''t like her being so rude either. I advise you to break up."


    Xu Baohan scoffed and bent down to sit on the sofa opposite them. "This is your main purpose foring here today, isn''t it? What else do you want to say in one go?"


    Xu Jinfei continued, "I''ve asked around. Her name is An Lan and she is a partner in aw firm. She is quite famous and I heard that she is quite powerful. Her reputation in the industry isn''t very good and I heard that she has a close rtionship with various people. How can you be a match for a woman like her? I met Zhuang Tianya a few days ago, I can tell that she still has feelings for you. Even though she left you previously, it wasn''t because you didn''t help her parents. I''ve already said that..."


    "You''re too rigid, stubborn and you''re too cold, even towards your parents and your girlfriend, but she haven''t forgotten about you. Zhuang Tianya has a gentle personality and her family is well-off too. Just herpany, after it went public, its stock value has increased several times. A wealthy young mistress like her who is so loyal to you."


    Zhuang Wanling nodded. "If you can reconcile with her, it will be of great help to me in the import and export trade. Business isn''t good these days."


    Xu Baohan smiled, his cold gaze sweeping over the two people in front of him.


    These were his biological parents.


    Even though he had long understood their personalities, he still felt a chill in his heart.


    Xu Jinfei saw that he did not speak, he continued, "Our car salespany is not doing too well now. The rise of domestic cars is too fast, and it has had a huge impact on the imported cars. The sales volume of the branches across the country is getting lower and lower year by year. We need new shareholders, new technical services and marketing ns. Even if the shops are not up to date, they need to be rectified. Some of the locations of the shops are not very good either..."

 Chapter 2039. No One Had Ever Insulted Him Like This In His Life

    Chapter 2039. No One Had Ever Insulted Him Like This In His Life


    "You''ve said so much just to get the new shareholders to invest their money in, right?" Xu Baohan interrupted him coldly. He could not look at his father''s face like that.


    He spoke so bluntly, but Xu Jinfei still took a sip of his tea awkwardly before nodding, "That''s right. Nowadays, no one would invest so easily, but it''s different when they''re rtives. If you''re not satisfied with Zhuang Tianya, I have a friend whose daughter isn''t married either..."


    "I''m a dignified judge, and you want me to sell my body to save your dying business?" Xu Baohan''s voice became extremely stern and cold. "Aren''t you guys overestimating yourselves, or are you insulting me too much?"


    He simply couldn''t believe it, or rather, he was furious.


    He had always been calm and collected, but no one had ever insulted him like this in his life..


    Perhaps he didn''t earn much, but he had always been conscientious and worked hard to make a contribution to the judicial industry. He had always been proud of this, and many people respected and feared him.


    But he was humiliated by his own father.


    Xu Jinfei was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and exined, "I didn''t mean that. It''s normal for people to want to do better. Besides, I''m also thinking of your happiness for the rest of your life. Wouldn''t it be better to find someone who''s docile to you? Your current girlfriend can''t take any losses. She''s been in society for so many years and is as smart as a loach. Moreover, herwyer ie is also higher than yours. She runs her ownw firm and is the boss. After a long time, she will still be attracted by their world. You can''t hold her at all. Wanling, don''t you think so?"


    Zhuang Wanling looked at her son''s cold gaze and felt a little uneasy. However, when she thought of her half-deadpany, she still nodded, "To be honest, Zhuang Tianya used to be quite good to us. If you marry her, it wouldplement each other. Besides, didn''t you like her in the past?"


    Xu Jinfei nodded. "If your mother and mypany copses, we will be a burden to you sooner orter. Why do we have to go to that extent? Besides, you are my only son. The family business will belong to you sooner orter..."


    "You just need to focus on your work, get married and have children. When the timees, you can take over our money. Besides, the entire Xu family depends on mypany for their livelihood. If mypany is gone, your aunts and cousins will lose their jobs. Think about it. Your uncle will go to jail and your cousin is still in high school. If their jobs are gone, what will they do?"


    "When you want to use me, you say that I''m your only son," Xu Baohan said with a low chuckle, "But you seem to have forgotten how the Xu family treated me when I went to the mourning hall yesterday. You also forgot that when you left that year, you said that you wouldn''t leave me a single cent of your assets in this lifetime."


    Xu Jinfei said embarrassedly, "Those are just words of anger"


    Zhuang Wanling mumbled, "You''re his only son. Who else would he give it to if not you?"


    "Are you done?" Xu Baohan asked, "If you''re done, then let me do the talking. Mom, look at the jewelry and essories on your hands and the brands you''re wearing. A watch of yours isparable to a house. Even if thepany goes bankrupt, the house under your name should be enough for you to livefortably for the rest of your life, right? Furthermore, you still have your pension. To put it bluntly, you''re not satisfied. You''re used to living avish life and only want to live until the old days. It''s a pity that you''re old and decrepit and can''t find a rich man to rely on."


    "You... ,"Zhuang Wanling stood up, ashamed and angry.

 Chapter 2040. My Wife Is Really Working Hard

    Chapter 2040. My Wife Is Really Working Hard


    Xu Baohan did not look at her, but turned his gaze to Xu Jinfei, "Let''s talk about you again. You insisted on handing over the position of thepany to the bunch of people from your Xu family who don''t have the capability to manage thepany. That''s why thepany''s reputation is getting worse by the day. Now, you want me to marry a woman I don''t love for them? Have I lost my mind? Are the people from the Xu family good to me? Even if they are good to me, I don''t have to be so stupid, right? If thepany goes bankrupt and they lose their job, then go out and look for another one. It''s not like your Xu family is the only one in the entire country who has a job. It''s just that, to put it bluntly, if you don''t have the ability, it''s indeed difficult to find a high-paid job that can be a leader. However, the national policy is so good now. As long as you can endure hardship and work hard, you won''t starve to death. To put it bluntly, I''m not Buddha, I don''t have to step in and help your Xu family."


    Xu Jinfei did not expect him to be so blunt and curt. He was so angry that his body was trembling, and the anger in his eyes was so intense that he wanted to eat him up. "You... you heartless, cold-blooded fellow, are you speaking the humannguage?"


    "I''m just speaking the truth." Xu Baohan''s dark eyes shed coldly, "I really didn''t want your money. Besides, I don''t need you to tell me who I want to marry. You have no right to control who I want to marry. I''m very busy, so I won''t apany you."


    He slowly stood up. "I don''t think you need toe to me unless you are sick and dying in the hospital. Instead of using me to make money, why don''t you see what other assets you can to sell?"


    After that, he didn''t care about his parents'' ugly expressions and went straight into his office.


    Not long after, the sound of something breaking came from outside the reception room.


    After a while, Su Run knocked on the door nervously and entered. "Chief Judge Xu, your parents left in a huff."


    "Yes." Xu Baohan opened the file, his face filled with sorrow and bitterness.


    ...


    At 10 pm, Xu Baohan dragged his tired body back to An Lan''s side.


    The living room was lit up, but there was no one around. The study room was faintly lit up.


    He walked over and gently pushed open the half-closed door. An Lan was dressed in light purple pajamas and was working on her desk. She was holding a pen in one hand and a document in the other. The notebook on the side was flickering with a faint light because she was too serious.., she didn''t even notice his presence.


    Xu Baohan leaned against the door frame and stared at her back for a long while. It was only when An Lan used one hand to feel for the coffee cup beside her that he suddenly reminded her, "Be careful, don''t burn your hand."


    An Lan''s body trembled and she was so startled that her hand knocked over the coffee, causing the liquid to fall onto the floor.


    Xu Baohan quickly went to the kitchen to get a cloth to wipe the coffee. An Lan red at him. "When did youe back? Your sudden appearance gave me a fright. If it wasn''t for you, my coffee wouldn''t have spilled."


    "You brought the coffee yourself and didn''t even look at it. Your hand was almost in the coffee cup." Xu Baohan knocked her head. "And what coffee do you drink at night?"


    "I can''t, I need to wake up." An Lan yawned. "It''s the end of the year and Shengting Corporation has a lot of work to sort out. If I don''t sort it out, they won''t pay me."


    "So cruel." After wiping the floor, Xu Baohan ced his hands on the table and wrapped her and the chair in his arms. "My wife is really working hard. Do you want me to give you a massage?"


    An Lan nced at him and quickly said, "Thank you, no need. I''m very busy.. I still have a pile of documents to register."

 Chapter 2041. An Lan Was The Only Person Who Understood Him The Most In This World

    Chapter 2041. An Lan Was The Only Person Who Understood Him The Most In This World


    "Are you thinking the wrong way?" Xu Baohan moved closer to her ear mischievously, cing a hand on the back of her neck and gently massaging it. "I''m talking about a very serious massage."


    The vein on An Lan''s neck stretched all the way to her tailbone. Her face was slightly flushed from frustration, thinking that she might be the one who was not serious now.


    "I didn''t expect you to know how to massage." An Lan held her breath to encourage him, afraid that her rough breathing would reveal her true feelings.


    "I have more tricks up my sleeve. Do you want to give it a try?" Xu Baohan''s voice gradually became deep and hoarse.


    An Lan really wanted to be more pure, but she really couldn''t do it when she met his gaze.


    "Stop fooling around. Let me finish my work, alright?" An Lan quicklyposed herself, determined not to let herself be seduced by beauty.


    "Not good." Xu Baohan hugged her gently from behind. He closed his eyes and his hands trembled slightly. "Don''t work tonight. Keep mepany."


    An Lan''s hand that was holding the pen trembled violently. Her heart almost softened, but when she saw her pile of documents struggling again, she turned back, unable to see his expression.


    But his entire face was buried in her neck, breathing lightly.


    She suddenly felt that he was a little different from before. "What''s wrong?"


    "I''m tired, maybe it''s because I''m too tired today," Xu Baohan replied softly.


    An Lan raised her hand to caress his short and neat ck hair. After a while, she said, "Let''s rest together."


    ...


    In the middle of the night, An Lan''s body was gently touched by someone.


    She regained consciousness half-asleep. When she was about to fall asleep again, she realized that the person beside her was tossing and turning. Even though he was moving very gently, she still noticed it.


    She opened her eyes and saw him sitting up gently under the nket. His tall upper body leaned against the headboard and he turned his head to look at the crescent moon outside. The moonlight made his face dim and blurry.


    An Lan suddenly remembered how strange he was that night. He was just like a child, he knew how to act coquettishly and wouldn''t let go of her.


    "Do you have something on your mind today?" An Lan moved closer to him. It had to be said that he was really a good electric nket in winter.


    Xu Baohan was stunned. He turned around and pulled up the nket, covering her exposed shoulder so that she wouldn''t catch a cold.


    However, An Lan simply hugged the nket and sat up, huddling up and leaning against him, "Based on our work rtionship, you can''t tell me about work matters even if you are being tortured, but we can still talk about private matters. If the two of us can''t talk about work and private matters, then there''s nothing to talk about. We can''t talk about what you eat today and what I eat tomorrow every day, right?"


    Xu Baohan smiled.


    "I''m telling the truth." An Lan leaned on his shoulder. "You said you wouldn''t hide anything from me."


    Xu Baohan leaned back and looked up at the dark ceiling. "An Lan, tell me honestly what you think of my work."


    "It''s good." An Lan thought for a moment before answering seriously, "There are so many industries in this world, yet we choose this one. We must have a belief in thew. Although it''s a little strenuous and unrewarding at times, it''s also full of a sense of aplishment. We can do something for someone, and we can send more people who deserve to be imprisoned. Sometimes, there are things that money can''t satisfy."


    Xu Baohan turned around and ruffled her hair, his gaze deep and gentle.


    When two people were together, they didn''t just want to like each other, they also wanted to understand each other.


    Sometimes, he felt that An Lan was the only person who understood him the most in this world.

 Chapter 2042. As Long As You Have Me, Dont Bother With Them

    Chapter 2042. As Long As You Have Me, Don''t Bother With Them


    "That''s right, I love my job. No matter how hard I work, I still think it''s good. After so many years, I can''t say that I''m outstanding, but I''ve never thought that I''m a failure in any way." After Xu Baohan finished speaking, the temperature in his eyes slowly turned colder, "But I never thought that one day, I would be so pathetic that my parents would use me as amodity to trade."


    An Lan was stunned. This was probably the first time she had seen Xu Baohan''s angry and furious gaze. "Trade what?"


    Xu Baohan turned and hugged her in his arms, "My parents''panies are currently in a slump. They want me to find a rich heiress who can inject capital into theirpany. Even Zhuang Tianya, who betrayed me, they think that it''s a good idea. They tried their best to get me and her back together. In their eyes, I''m just a tool. Back then, she didn''t hesitate to divorce me and they cut all ties with me. Now that I have something to use, theye to me and tell me that in the future, all the assets in the family will belong to me sooner orter. Don''t you think that''s funny?"


    At this point, An Lan really didn''t feel sleepy at all.


    Why was Zhuang Tianya brought up again? It wasn''t easy for the two of them to settle down, why was there another problem.


    However, she knew that this time, it had nothing to do with Xu Baohan. Furthermore, she was d that he could be honest with her this time.


    "Your parents seem to know about your rtionship with me, right?" An Lan found itughable. What kind of person did this couple think she was? An invisible person? They were even more outrageous than her parents.


    "That''s right," Xu Baohan said bitterly. "An Lan, don''t worry, I''ve never considered agreeing to them. I just..."


    "I understand." An Lan nodded and wrapped her arms around his waist, "You have your pride. By doing this, your parents are belittling you and not caring about your feelings. Sometimes, no matter how cold their words are, they are still your parents. We always have a glimmer of hope, but their actions are getting more and more outrageous and cruel. Actually, I only met your father briefly at the funeral home, and I could tell what kind of person he is. He doesn''t like me."


    Xu Baohan''s heart ached slightly. It wasn''t for him, it was because of An Lan.


    He wanted to give her a peaceful life, but she was always distracted by other things. He had a feeling that his parents wouldn''t let this go, "An Lan, don''t think too much. It''s not that they don''t like you, they just don''t like people who aren''t useful to them. It''s the same for me. We don''t need to care about them. We live our own lives. We have jobs, we don''tck money and we don''t need to worry about food. We don''t need to care about them at all."


    "You should say that to yourself." An Lan raised her hand and pinched his face. "As long as you have me, it''s fine. Don''t bother about them."


    Herst sentence was so short, yet it was so heartwarming that it hit the most vulnerable part of a person''s heart.


    Xu Baohan lowered his head and stared at her for a while, before pressing his lips against hers. "You''re right..."


    ...


    The price of coaxing someone was that she was so exhausted yet she couldn''t even apply for a year-end leave. Fortunately, Xu Baohan was resting, so he drove her to work personally.


    "I''ll pick you up after work," Xu Baohan waved at her from the car window.


    An Lan nodded, making a call as she rushed into the elevator.


    As she squeezed into the morning elevator, Xiao Si''s nagging voice could be heard on the phone, "Miss An, please hurry up. In the past, you were so efficient when you weren''t in a rtionship.. You could have handed over the new contract management system on New Year''s Day, but now that New Year''s Day has passed, you still haven''t made any progress."

 Chapter 2043. So Fragrant

    Chapter 2043. So Fragrant


    "Alright, alright, this time it''s my problem, I''ll definitely hand it over tomorrow, I swear," An Lan was getting dizzy from the pressure. She swore that she would never gofort Xu Baohan in the middle of the night again, it was practically torture for herself.


    ...


    At the end of the year, thew firm had a lot of matters to attend to, apart from the legal matters of thepany, there were also private cases.


    Basically, everyone in thew firm was busy, spinning round like a top.


    In the afternoon, An Lan met with two shareholders of Sheng Ting''s subsidiarypany and personally came to ask her about the legal matters of the private equity fund.


    Although the two shareholders were far from beingparable to Nian Junting and Xiao Si, they were also very sessful in investing in various industries. An Lan was naturally happy to have a good rtionship with them. After answering their legal questions one by one, she personally sent them off to the door.


    "Lawyer An, thank you for your hard work. If you hadn''t answered my questions, I would have sold my shares," Wu shook her hand firmly as he left.


    At that moment, a middle-aged man in elegant clothes walked out of the elevator.


    An Lan knitted her brows. She smiled as she walked the two shareholders into the elevator.


    After the door closed, she turned to look at Xu Jinfei.


    Xu Jinfei also sized up the two men who had just left. They were both in their forties or fifties. Although the clothes on their bodies did not reveal any brand, it was obvious that they were not cheap. Moreover, the wristwatches on their hands were definitely worth millions.


    He did not expect that An Lan''sw firm was doing quite well. It seemed that he had underestimated this woman.


    "Uncle, what do you want to talk about? Let''s talk inside." An Lan looked at his expression and spoke first without batting an eyelid.


    Xu Jinfei nodded coldly.


    An Lan led him to the reception room. Yan Wen walked over and asked, "Lawyer An, is this a new client?"


    "No, it''s a private matter." An Lan waved her hand. "Go and do your work. Don''t bother about it."


    It meant that no one was responsible for the tea anymore.


    Yan Wen nodded in understanding.


    After entering the reception room, An Lan closed the door, closed the blinds and turned around to pour Xu Jinfei some tea.


    After the tea was served, Xu Jinfei took a whiff and frowned. This was just ordinary ck tea.


    "This tea... doesn''t really suit my taste." He put the tea aside indifferently and sat on the sofa.


    An Lan smiled, this person is behaving as if he''s the boss of this ce. She really couldn''t understand how this person had given birth to a son like Xu Baohan, but weren''t her parents the same.


    "Uncle, may I ask how much your worth is?" An Lan sat calmly across from him, not intending to change the tea, "We have many types of tea here, Special Grade, Grade 1 to Grade 6. Generally, people with a worth of more than a billion is served the Special or Grade 1 ck tea. As for you, I reckon that Grade 3 is enough for you."


    The lines on Xu Jinfei''s face seemed to show cracks. "What do you mean?"


    "I don''t mean anything." An Lan smiled and shrugged.


    Xu Jinfei looked at her coldly. "I knew you were uncouth. You''re dating my son, and this is how you treat your elders."


    "Since you know that I''m dating your son and even encouraged Baohan to be with Zhuang Tianya, what about you? Have you considered my feelings?" An Lan asked bluntly.


    Xu Jinfei snorted coldly. "What rtionship do you have with me that I need to consider your feelings."


    "You''re right, so I don''t have to give you too much face." An Lan stood up and brewed herself a cup of golden eyebrow premium ck tea. "And I don''t have to waste my precious ck tea. MMM, this is so fragrant."

 Chapter 2044. Your Son Knows It Well

    Chapter 2044. Your Son Knows It Well


    Xu Jinfei was so angry that his face twitched.


    With his son''s good-looking face and career achievement, many women hade knocking on his door. Even the daughter of a rich family like Zhuang Tianya had tried to curry favor with them, but this woman didn''t give them any face.


    He knew he wasn''t wrong.


    This woman was too powerful. If Xu Baohan marries her, it would be terrible.


    "Uncle, we are both businessmen," An Lan observed his expression, "That''s right, I am dating your son, but to put it bluntly, if it weren''t because of him, we wouldn''t have had any interaction at all. If I were to curry favor with you, it would definitely be to gain your support, but it is clear that you havee with ill intentions. You don''t like me, and you don''t even have basic respect for me. Since you don''t have a good impression of me, then it would be useless even if I were to please you well, so I am not going to waste my time and energy on you."


    Xu Jinfei''s lips curled into a cold smile. "You are indeed very shrewd. However, as long as you prove your worth to me, there is still a chance to turn things around."


    He bumped into the two shareholders earlier, he knew that she had connections with wealthy people. He believed that as long as she was willing to help, hispany might have a chance...


    An Lan raised her eyebrows. "Didn''t youe here to ask me to leave your son?"


    Xu Jinfei was slightly embarrassed. He didn''t want to say things loud. And he believed that she knew what he was trying to say, as she was such a smart woman.


    "My worth? Your son knows it the best." She suddenly smiled yfully. "I guess you don''t need to know. After all... you''re not my boyfriend."


    Xu Jinfei flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Be careful with your words. Don''t be indiscreet and weird. I''m not one of your clients."


    "Well, my clients make me money. What can you make me?" She spread her hands and said openly, "To put it bluntly, the worth you are talking about is to bring you money, right? Do you want me to find someone to invest or lend you money? To be honest, I do have money, but I will not invest in yourpany. Why? Because you have never respected me from the start. Even if I help you, you will take that for granted. For a person like you, who would use your son as a tool, who would dare to cooperate with you? Besides, I have all kinds of projects to invest in around me, why would I invest in your half-deadpany? From the moment I walked in until now, have you ever shown me any respect? There is a line written on your face, if you want to marry my son, you have to please me with money, otherwise, I will never allow that."


    Xu Jinfei stood up angrily, the corners of his mouth twitching, his eyes burning with rage, "Very well, since you''re so self-aware, I''ll be frank with you. Don''t even think about marrying my son, youngdy, you''re too young and too impulsive. We''ll see."


    An Lan turned back, her gaze unwavering, "Then let me remind you. We,wyers, can stand firm in the city, there is a reason for that. The people that I havee into contact with are richer, better, and more powerful than you. If you want to teach me a lesson, go ahead, I don''t think the connections you have are any better than those on my hands.. However, please be careful as you might need to leave Xia City anytime if someone found out the dirty tricks that you yed to save yourpany."

 Chapter 2045. What Have You Done?

    Chapter 2045. What Have You Done?


    Xu Jinfei stared at An Lan with a gaze that seemed to want to eat her up.


    He had never been irritated by a woman this much.


    When he came here, he had thought about the oue. She might not buy it, so he naturally had other ways, but he definitely did not expect her to be this tough.


    "Okay, good. I''ll make sure that you never think of marrying my son in this lifetime." Xu Jinfei mmed the door and left.


    The deafening sound of the door attracted the attention of An Lan''s colleagues. Not long after, Li Yuchen came over worriedly. "Are you alright? Who''s that?"


    "Someone who tried to threaten me." An Lan smiled indifferently.


    Li Yuchen took a deep breath, "He must be out of his mind! How dare him to threaten you. I''m afraid he didn''t know who you are. Lawyers in Xia City are not people one could easily mess with..."


    "Well. There are people who think that the whole world should listen to them." An Lan frowned. She hoped that Xu Jinfei would be smart enough to back off, otherwise she wouldn''t give in easily too.


    She was fine to take failures, like losing aw case or letting a client down.


    But she would never be bullied for no reason, even if it was the father of the person she liked.


    ...


    After leaving, Xu Jinfei got angrier the more he thought about what has happened just now. He went straight to the court to meet his son but to avail as he was told that he was on annual leave. In the end, he angrily called Xu Baohan directly.


    "I just met your "good girlfriend" and I''ve never seen such an uncultured woman. Have you lost your mind to be with her? Wake up! That woman threatened me. Does she think she''s so great as awyer and she can do whatever she wants? And she even said that she would get ourpany out of Xia City. Is she speaking humannguage? You''re my only son, thepany will be yours in the future. I don''t care, break up with this woman right now, she''s too vicious."


    Xu Baohan was making dumplings for An Lan at her ce. He had been in a good mood the whole day, but this phone call had ruined his mood.


    "What? You met An Lan?" He put down the dumpling skin in his hand, his voice was cold.


    "How would I know what kind of person she is if I don''t meet her in person?"


    "What have you done to make her so angry?" Xu Baohan asked directly. "Let''s be clear, I am fine if youe to look for me, but you should stop being unreasonable. Otherwise, you may regret it."


    "Bastard..." Xu Jinfei was so angry that he could hardly breathe. "Didn''t you hear me? This woman was so rude, uncultured and ruthless. I don''t care what you think about me, but I''m still your freaking father."


    "An Lan has never been an unreasonable person. She''s usually angry because others have offended her, and I know you very well."


    Xu Baohan couldn''t suppress his anger, "Don''t go near her anymore. I''m already an adult in my thirties. You don''t have the right to decide who I want to marry. Besides, we have already gone our separate ways. There is no way that I would leave her because of parent like you. If you continue to act like this, I don''t mind cutting off contact with you. And I''ll throw you into a nursing home when you get old. And to put it bluntly, don''t think thatwyers are easy to deal with. Even I can''t help you if she really gets angry."


    Xu Jinfei scoffed coldly. "Don''t you try to scare me. Do you think that I will be afraid of a woman?"


    "Now I understand why yourpany would have failed," Xu Baohan said bluntly, "Do you really think the powerfulwyers win their cases merely depends on the few documents provided by the client? Naive. They have their ways. And smart people, especially business men, would always think of ways to get to know people likewyers, teachers and doctors...But you...."

 Chapter 2046. You Are Beyond Rich

    Chapter 2046. You Are Beyond Rich


    Xu Baohan paused. "Forget it, I can''t be bothered to talk to you anymore, but I will marry An Lan no matter what you said."


    After hanging up, Xu Baohan stared at the dumplings on the chopping board and guilt filled his mind. He then called An Lan apologetically, "My dad went to see you at thew firm?"


    "Ya." An Lan guessed that Xu Jinfei must have spoken ill of her, so she told him the truth right away. "Your dad was very rude to me, so I wasn''t polite to him either."


    "I knew it." Xu Baohan chuckled. "You did well."


    An Lan knew that he would stand on her side, but when she heard him say that, she heaved a sigh of relief, "Actually, I did it wasn''t entirely just for myself. I felt that your father was too selfish, even towards you. He didn''t behave like a father at all, he only thought about himself."


    There were some things that she didn''t want to say it too directly, she worried that it might hurt Xu Baohan''s feelings.


    "Yes, I know. Fortunately, I have a wife who loves me now." Xu Baohan replied jokingly.


    An Lan humphed and said bluntly, "Your father''s matters aren''t done yet. And I haven''t agreed to be your wife, so don''t call me that."


    "That''s his matters, not mine." Seemed like Xu Baohan wished to get rid of it, "He wants me to marry a rich girl. But he doesn''t know that Lawyer An is not only rich, but far more than that. Do I need to beat around the bush? Besides, you said that my living is on you, and awyer''s words carry weight."


    An Lan clicked her tongue. "Chief Judge Xu, you are so shameless! But I am indeed not as rich as your ex-girlfriend who is from Zhuang Da."


    "Hey hey hey. Wrong! Her money belongs to her parents, but your money belongs to you, so you are definitely richer," Xu Baohan replied calmly. "Besides, her parents are old and their abilities are limited, but Lawyer An is younger than me, and she has a bright future ahead of her."


    "Mmm, not bad. As a ssmate of Mr Nian, you know how to make long-term investments." An Lan nodded with a smile.


    "Lawyer An, anyway, I''m depending on you for the rest of my life." Xu Baohan chuckled. "I''ve made dumplings for you. Come back earlier tonight, wifey."


    Thest sentence was gentle and affectionate.


    An Lan felt that her face was burning due to shyness.


    ...


    Recently, Xu Baohan was on leave. With him at home, An Lan found that home was always a safe and warm ce no matter how tired she was from work every day.


    In the past, when she returned to home, it was always empty, cold and cheerless. Now when she was home, what weed her were hot dishes and cut fruits. Sometimes, Xu Baohan even washer her clothes and prepared her favourite snacks.


    That night, when An Lan returned from a meeting in Shengting, she told Xu Baohan expectantly, "How many days off you guys are having for the New Year this year? Why don''t we spend the New Year in Tokyo? I heard the Nian family will spend their New Year abroad too. I think it would be nice if we spend it together, since both of us don''t have a good rtionship with our parents."


    Xu Baohan was eating when he heard her. He frowned and put down his chopsticks in a serious manner, saying, "I don''t think the Japanese country culture fits our Chinese New Year culture."


    "Err... that makes sense." An Lan nodded seriously. "Then what about Australia? It will be summer there right?"


    Xu Baohan''s brows were still tightly furrowed. "Not very interested..."


    An Lan rubbed her forehead. "Bro, we can''t possibly going to Pakistan, right?"


    Xu Baohan smiled. "Lawyer An is quite familiar with international news."


    "After knowing you, I have to know a little," An Lanmented.

 Chapter 2047. Dont You Dare To...

    Chapter 2047. Don''t You Dare To...


    Xu Baohan stared at her with a worried expression and suggested, "What about Russia?"


    "No way," An Lan said firmly. "I''ve been there before. The scenery was average, and the winter was too cold for me. Hmm...Let''s go to Switzend, we can ski there."


    Xu Baohan smiled. "Aren''t you afraid of the cold if you go skiing in Switzend?"


    "Bro, you even have an issue with Switzend?" An Lan looked at him unbelievably.


    Xu Baohan looked at her for a while before nodding. "Chill... Alright alright, let''s go to Switzend."


    An Lan was finally satisfied. If he rejected her idea again, she would never go on a trip with him anymore. "Since you have time tomorrow, go and get your visa."


    "So soon?"


    "I''ll book the ne ticketster."


    Xu Baohan was surprised. "Aren''t we joining a tour group?"


    Switzend was so far away. All this while, he travelled to Europe in a tour group.


    An Lan looked at him unbelievably again, "OMG, you''re really old-fashioned. Both of us speak English, why would we want to go with a tour group? Besides, I have been to Europe several times. Mr. Xu, you sounded like a middle-aged man, do you know that?"


    Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. "Well, a middle-aged man can''t perform that well at nights."


    An Lan rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment. "Hey, mind your words. Don''t try to deflect from the topic."


    Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips into a straight line. "It''s just that I rarely go abroad, and I''ve never not followed a tour group to such distant ces."


    "I understand." An Lan held back herughter and patted the back of his hand. "No worries, let Sister An bring you to travel all over the world."


    "Sister An? I think you need to be taught a lesson."


    Seeing the ridicule in her eyes, Xu Baohan stood up and walked towards An Lan.


    An Lan sensed the "danger" and stopped eating. She turned around and wanted to run, but she was caught by Xu Baohan immediately.


    "Xu Baohan, don''t you dare to..."


    He kissed her without waiting for her to finish her sentence.


    In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with love.


    ...


    Xu Jinfei and Zhuang Wanling went to Xu Baohan''s ce for him but to no avail.


    Both of them had a key to his room, and they realized that Xu Baohan had not returned in a while, and half of the clothes in his wardrobe were missing.


    Xu Jinfei was furious. "This bastard must be with that woman."


    Zhuang Wanling frowned, looking rather tired. "I think... forget it. I''ve asked around. An Lan is not someone we could easily mess with. She knows a lot of people with big backgrounds. What if we really piss her off?"


    "Do you think those people will take her seriously? They''re just using her," Xu Jinfei interrupted her. "Her own family background is very ordinary. Her parents are bothid-off workers, and her sister is mentally ill. She doesn''t have any powerful rtives."


    "Doesn''t that exin why we shouldn''t mess with her?" Zhuang Wanling said. "She has no family background and she can climb to her current position at the age of not even 30. She must be really something."


    Zhuang Wanling could understand this. She had worked so hard when she was young. She knew that it was difficult to seed in this society.


    "Don''t be a coward." Xu Jinfei looked at her with disdain, "She doesn''t like us. If Baohan marries her, what would she do to us when we''re old? She''ll encourage him to stay away from us.. Besides, if she really likes our son, she won''t dare to do anything to us."

 Chapter 2048. The Only Loophole

    Chapter 2048. The Only Loophole


    Zhuang Wanling was a little hesitant.


    The couple unknowingly walked to the gate of the neighbourhood. Xu Jinfei''s eyes were sharp enough to see Zhuang Tianya walking out of the supermarket.


    "Tianya, what a coincidence! Why are you shopping here?" Xu Jinfei was overjoyed to see Zhuang Tianya at this time. He greeted her and walked over.


    "Uncle, auntie," Zhuang Tianya smiled when she saw the two of them. "It''s rare for the two of you toe out together. Auntie, is your stomach better now?"


    Zhuang Wanling felt warm to hear that. She didn''t expect that she would still remember her illness after so many years. In addition, the two of them had the same surname, Zhuang. For sure she would have a good impression of Zhuang Tianya. "Aiya, it''s an old issue. Can''t be cured."


    "I heard from a foreign friend that there is a medicine in America that is good for stomach illnesses. Next time, I''ll get her to bring you a box," Zhuang Tianya said worriedly. "Please try to see if it works."


    "It''s so sweet of you... You''re too kind." Zhuang Wanling sighed in her heart. Too bad that An Lan had a better n...


    "Not a problem at all. After all..." Zhuang Tianya smiled bitterly, didn''t finish her sentence.


    Xu Jinfei was extremely astute, he immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Tianya, tell me the truth, do you still have feelings towards Baohan?"


    Zhuang Tianya smiled sadly, "We had no choice when we split up back then, it was impossible for me to turn a blind eye on my father. Now that I''m alone, but he has a girlfriend, it''s all fated."


    Xu Jinfei immediately perked up, "It''s Baohan''s fault. If he had helped you back then, you wouldn''t have had to break up with him at all. He''s just too inflexible. You''re a good girl, I''ve truly treated you as my daughter-inw since a long time ago. I don''t like that An Lan at all. Don''t worry, I will definitely help you."


    Zhuang Tianya''s face lit up, but she then quickly shook her head. "I appreciate your good intentions, but I don''t want to put Baohan in a difficult position. Now that I can see him asionally and know that he''s fine, I''m satisfied."


    "You''re the one who truly loves him." Xu Jinfei couldn''t help nodding. He was now certain that Zhuang Tianya loved Xu Baohan deeply. As long as he chased An Lan away, Zhuang Tianya would have a chance. Men were nostalgic, he believed that Xu Baohan wouldn''t bepletely heartless towards Zhuang Tianya.


    ...


    On Saturday, Deng Zhicheng and hiswyer came to thew firm to meet An Lan and Li Shuang.


    Li Shuang had specially dressed herself up to discuss the divorce. For this meeting, she had dragged An Lan to get her hair donest night and bought a few expensive clothes.


    When Deng Zhicheng saw her, he was stunned. Ever since she had given birth, Li Shuang had not dressed like this for a long time. Every time she came home, her hair was messy and her face was in. Her clothes were either T-shirts or down jackets.


    To be honest, he regretted having an affair.


    While his thoughts were running wild, he did not pay much attention to what An Lan said when she came in. Lawyer Fang, who hade with him, reminded him and pulled him out from his thoughts, "Mr Deng, please take a look at this document."


    Deng Zhicheng picked it up in a daze and took a look. Then, his whole body shivered.


    An Lan looked at him and smiled, "Thew is sometimes quite cruel. Even if a man cheats and makes a mistake, it won''t affect the allocation of the assets. You had been secretly selling your properties all this while. You even bought a house for your mistress, using your business partner to help you with the ownership transfer. You thought that no one would find out as long as no bank transfer record was rted to your personal ounts. But you have missed out on something. The one and only loophole, which was also the biggest loophole, your business partner."


    Deng Zhicheng was so angry that the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his eyes widened in disbelief.. "He betrayed me."

 Chapter 2049. My, An Lans, Friends Are Not To Be Trifled With

    Chapter 2049. My, An Lan''s, Friends Are Not To Be Trifled With


    "Betray?"


    Li Shuang said sarcastically, "You could even betray your wife and child, let alone a brother or a friend. Isn''t that very normal?"


    Deng Zhicheng probably never thought of this, and his face turned slightly pale. "Lin An has been my friend for many years. We started apany together, and we share the same fate. How did you get him to betray me?"


    An Lan crossed her fingers, and her tone was calm, "In terms of human nature, who knows better than awyer? We''ve seen all kinds of disgusting and dirty things. In the face of profit, nine out of ten people will fall out with each other. We only met your friend and told him that as long as all the shares of thepany were in Li Shuang''s hands, she would sell them all to him at a discounted price. You guys started thepany together back then, and the investment wasn''t big, but after so many years..."


    "The value of thepany has already increased a few times, but unfortunately, the dividends have always been split equally between the two of you. What if he could monopolize thispany that is guaranteed to make a profit? He hesitated for a long time and gave me an answer. As expected of your most intimate partner, "Now, even your bottom line has been dug outpletely."


    Li Shuang looked at Deng Zhicheng with a disgust that she had never felt before, "You keep saying that thepany could only get 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month, but in reality, you''re already earning 400,000 to 500,000 yuan a month. It''s just that you''ve transferred all your assets, then used your parents to dispose of the property and invested in several projects in your parents'' name. Now that you''re going to divorce, you say that your family only has one million yuan in capital. On ount of our long-standing rtionship as husband and wife, you''re willing to give me 700,000 yuan and the house belongs to me. You''re asking me not to go overboard. It''s reallyughable."


    "The information you submitted was not true at all. Not only that, you were afraid that we would apply for a court investigation and even made false ounts in thepany. To put it bluntly, your actions are considered fraud."


    An Lan shook her head and her tone was aggressive, "In front of thew, you kept ying tricks. You clearly had a total of more than ten million in assets, but you were only willing to give your wife seven hundred thousand. You are really generous. Do you think my friend is a beggar? Are you underestimating me or overestimating yourself too much? Deng Zhicheng, when you two got married, I told you that my friend is not someone to be trifled with."


    Li Shuang had never felt so confident before. Her heart was filled with excitement. "How disgusting."


    At this moment, Deng Zhicheng did not care about his face anymore. He looked at Lawyer Fang helplessly.


    Lawyer Fang was silent, "Lawyer An, I think that since you''re willing to meet with us in private, it can be seen that you''re willing to coordinate. Can you guys talk about the distribution of the property that you want? To be honest, even if you take these documents to court, the judge might not act as you wish. When I usually encounter such situations, it''s usually the man who gives up his property on his own ord."


    An Lan nodded, "It''s almost the end of the year. Everyone wants to have afortable new year. My client doesn''t want to drag this out. It''s very simple. We only want all the shares of thepany, half of the cash, the house we''re living in, and custody of the child."


    Deng Zhicheng stood up anxiously. "Dream on. Do you know how much mypany''s shares are worth? Also, the child should be mine. Li Shuang doesn''t have a job at all."


    An Lan smiled. "I forgot to add that you also have to give the children four thousand Yuan in alimony every month. That''s already very low."


    Deng Zhicheng was so angry that his face turned red, "I''ve already given all my shares to you. How can I give you so much every month? It''s robbery. How about this? Don''t take the shares, I''ll give all the cash to you and the child to me. From now on, I''ll give Li Shuang ten thousand Yuan every month. Li Shuang, we still have a child.. You don''t have to benefit others just for a moment''s pleasure."

 Chapter 2050. Is It That Nobody Wanted You In Your Previous Life?

    Chapter 2050. Is It That Nobody Wanted You In Your Previous Life?


    Li Shuang chuckled, "I''m sorry, I just want to make you unhappy. Besides, your shares are the most valuable, I''m not that stupid. When the timees, you''ll be getting richer and richer by relying on thispany. It''s not impossible for you to receive millions in dividends every month, but you only give me 10,000 a month. Do you think I, Ah Jiao, am very stupid and nave? I''m just letting you know the consequences of betraying me."


    An Lan looked at her watch, "I don''t think you can make a decision at once. I''ll give you another week to think about it. To be honest, I''m happy to go to court because your behavior in this marriage is extremely bad. The judge will surely side with us. Moreover, we''re not going too far, you still have cash and property. You can totally make aeback. After all, you''re still young."


    ...


    After Deng Zhicheng and Lawyer Fang left.


    Li Shuang looked admiringly at An Lan, who was packing up the documents. "Lan Lan, why aren''t you a man? The way you negotiated just now was so manly."


    An Lan looked at her with disgust. No one would like a woman who was praised as a man, right, "Please, as my friend muster up some spirit. After all, you''re aw student. After so many years of people hiding so many things from you, you still don''t know anything. I don''t want to despise your IQ, and I don''t want to ridicule your ability to find private detectives."


    Li Shuang thought about how badly she had been deceived, and she couldn''t help but clench her fists and let out a long sigh towards the sky, "I don''t care. You have to win back the shares for me. Lin An is willing to spend six million to buy the shares in my hands. At that time, with the addition of the cash and the house, I''ll be a millionaire. I really didn''t expect that bastard Deng Zhicheng to be so rich."


    "Look at you." An Lan shook her head and was toozy to even talk about her.


    "Naturally, I can''tpare myself to a rich woman like you. Hmph," Li Shuang put her hand on her shoulder. "Shall I treat you to dinner tonight?"


    An Lan was about to answer when her cell phone rang.


    She had a headache when she saw the number.


    "It''s your father," Li Shuang said. "Although he definitely has no good reason to look for you, he''s already so old. It might be an urgent matter."


    An Lan nodded. Although she didn''t have much time to contact her parents, she still greeted her aunt. If her parents had any matters to attend to, she had to contact her immediately.


    After picking up the phone, An Zhehui''s angry voice was heard, "An Lan, what''s wrong with you? Last time, I told you not to be with that Xu guy. He''s not a good person, but you ignored our words. Your mother and I turned a blind eye to it, but now his parents havee to our house for some reason. They''re furious, they say that you''re old and pestering their son, and they also say that you shouldn''t be shameless. They say that our house is poorly decorated and doesn''t deserve them. To not even think about marrying their son. Your mother almost got into a fight with them."


    The more An Lan listened, the more she furrowed her brows, followed by anger.


    Xu Jinfei and his wife were trying to dig up her secrets behind her back, even finding out where her parents lived.


    It was fine if they didn''t like her, but there was no need for them to harass her parents.


    Even though her parents didn''t like her at first, they were her biological parents after all. Furthermore, her parents didn''t go looking for trouble with Xu Baohan after that.


    An Zhehui continued, "Break up with him immediately. Do you really think that their son is that desirable? I haven''t liked him for a long time. It''s not that I want to criticize you, but can''t you find a proper boyfriend? Did no one want you in your past life? Sigh, I really didn''t educate my daughter well.. Your mother and I have lost all face."

 Chapter 2051. If You Can Solve This Once And For All, Then Ill Be Taking Action

    Chapter 2051. If You Can Solve This Once And For All, Then I''ll Be Taking Action


    While An Zhehui wasining, Ji Qian''s voice was mixed in. "If she dares to be with that man, I''ll show her my death. I''d rather she be a second wife than be humiliated by her inws."


    An Lan was infuriated by her parents.


    "Alright, I got it. Just don''t open the door so casually in the future," she said, holding back her anger.


    "His parents said that if you don''t break up, they''lle back again. Oh right, they also said that they''re going to look for your sister. I''m telling you, your sister can''t be provoked. If anything happens to her, your mother and I won''t forgive you."


    An Lan rubbed the space between her brows, a cold glint shing in her eyes.


    She did not wait for An Zhehui to continue before hanging up the phone.


    Li Shuang was in awe. "You two both have a pair of really weird parents. Who is more shameless I wonder?"


    An Lan smiled bitterly. Wasn''t that the case.


    Back then, she and Xu Baohan had thought that their rtionship with their parents was not good and that their parents would not interfere if they were looking for a partner. Who would have thought that...


    "It''s the same thing," An Lan said as she gripped her phone tightly. "But at least my parents didn''t take the initiative to provoke Xu Baohan''s parents. Now, they don''t even spare a mental person. If that''s the case, then don''t me me for being rude."


    Li Shuang frowned. She had known her for so many years, how could she not know that she was angry, "Tell Xu Baohan that this isn''t a personal matter. I think if he''s really a man, he should settle his parents instead of letting you handle all the time. Otherwise, why are you with him? Although they are his biological parents, now it''s his parents who are looking for trouble. If he doesn''t be more forceful, his parents will go on and on, and if you''re really rude, he might not be happy either."


    An Lan didn''t say a word. She was indeed thinking about these things.


    The matters between a couple were simple, but it wasn''t easy when it involved their parents.


    Li Shuang was a married woman after all, so she knew some things better.


    "Alright, I won''t be having dinner with you tonight. I need to go home and chat with Baohan."


    ...


    When it was time to get off work, Xu Baohan called to talk about the parking lot. "An Lan, I have to go to work tomorrow. Let''s eat western food outside tonight."


    "Okay." An Lan packed her things and left.


    After getting into the car, Xu Baohan took his phone and came over to ask for her opinion. "How about this French restaurant? It has quite a high rating..."


    An Lan listened to him as she looked at his tall nose bridge. After a while, she reached out to cover his phone, "Baohan, your parents went to look for my parents and said a lot of nasty things. They even said that if I didn''t break up with you, they would go to the mental hospital to look for my sister. What can a crazy person do? They are too aggressive."


    Xu Baohan was stunned. Immediately after, his pair of deep eyes were so gloomy that ink could drip out.


    The atmosphere that was originally gentle and sweet suddenly froze in the car.


    An Lan continued, "I don''t wish for this to happen again. At the same time, I''m also very troubled and angry. I feel that they won''t let this go. If you can''t solve this once and for all, then I will take action."


    "I understand." Xu Baohan raised his head, his eyes as cold as ice. "I will handle it."


    He knew how his parents were like, but he had never expected them to be so shameless.


    "I thought if I ignored them and didn''t see them, they would leave after a while. I didn''t expect..." Xu Baohan held her hand, "An Lan, I''m sorry for causing you so much pain. Don''t get involved in this.. If I can''t even settle this, then I don''t have the right to talk about marriage with you."

 Chapter 2052. I Dont Have A Lot Of Patience

    Chapter 2052. I Don''t Have A Lot Of Patience


    An Lan felt a little better.


    It wasn''t scary for two people to encounter problems together. What was scary was that the other half was unwilling to solve the problem, especially involving their own parents.


    "I''ll wait for you." An Lan turned back and met Xu Baohan''s deep eyes without dodging. "Baohan, you know, I don''t have a lot of patience."


    To be honest, the issue with his parents still made An Lan feel ufortable. They kepting over to provoke her, and it only got worse. The first time Xu Jinfei came to find her, Xu Baohan should have been more forceful. Of course, perhaps it was because he didn''t know his parents well enough.


    Xu Baohan leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "Trust me."


    He understood that too many things had happened between the two of them recently. First, it was Zhuang Tianya, then it was his parents who came out to cause trouble. The already unstable rtionship was now even more turbulent.


    If he didn''t be more ruthless, he might really lose her confidence.


    ...


    An Lan tossed this matter to Xu Baohan and didn''t bother about it anymore. Even though her parents would call her every now and then, she only replied, "Baohan is already looking for someone to settle it."


    An Zhehui was furious when he heard that, "Why do you believe him? They are a family. I think you must have been charmed. You are awyer, yet you aren''t clear-headed at all, you should break up with him. Your mother and I will introduce you to a few more stable blind dates so that your aunt won''t say that we are only concerned about your sister and not you at all."


    An Lan pinched the space between her brows. It was a tiring new year''s day, and listening to her parents'' nagging made her lose her temper, she raised her voice and said, "How can you be concerned about me? I''ve finally found a rtionship after so many years, and all you do is encourage me to break up. It''s not right for his parents to quarrel, but I''ve said that Baohan will take care of it. If he can''t even solve such a small problem, I know in my heart that we will naturally break up."


    An Zhehui mumbled, "I just don''t think his parents are cultured people. What kind of children can they bring up?"


    An LAN sneered, "Dad, are you insulting the country''s public security personnel?"


    An Zhehui fell silent.


    An Lan couldn''t help but say, "When you''re talking about other people''s parents, please check yourself. To put it bluntly, how are you better than them? When I was dating Xu Baohan, if you knew where Xu Baohan''s parents lived, you might have gone over to make a scene."


    An Zhehui stammered, "I. . ."


    "Alright then, ask your conscience if you didn''t go to the court to inquire about Xu Baohan back then," An Lan questioned coldly, "Because you knew it was a judicial department, you didn''t dare to make a scene. The essential difference between the two of you and his parents is that they could still find out where my parents lived, but you couldn''t find out at all."


    An Zhehui was at a loss for words.


    "I''m an adult now, I''ll be with whoever I want to be with, and I''ll marry whoever I want to marry," An Lan took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Since you''re so free, go spend more time with An Ning. I''ll make my own decisions, don''t you think I''ve embarrassed you? Don''t worry, I won''t go to your ce in the future. As for this matter, if Xu Baohan can''t handle it, I''ll settle it myself."


    After An Lan finished her words, An Zhehui didn''t dare to look for her for a few days.


    A few dayster, the news broke that Bingfei automobilepany was suspected of selling second-hand cars as new cars.

 Chapter 2053. Did You Do It?

    Chapter 2053. Did You Do It?


    An Lan had asked someone to find out that Xu Jinfeispany was Bingfei Automobile Co. Ltd.


    Now that something had happened and it was being reported by the news, it was definitely not that simple.


    That night, An Lan went home, but Xu Baohan was not back yet.


    There were no special rules about who would cook dinner. Whoever came back early would cook first. If An Lan was too tired, she could wait for Xu Baohan toe back and cook.


    However, she felt that Xu Baohan had a hard time working, so she washed the rice and cooked dinner.


    An Lan was more particr about nutrition and presentation when she cooked. When Xu Baohan entered, he happened to see her cooking a prawn mushroom soup. There was ayer of prawn oil on the surface of the pot, and the kitchen was filled with a fragrant smell.


    Mm, my wifes cooking is as good as can be. Xu Baohan hugged her waist from behind. What kind of new dish is this? Ive never seen it before.


    I saw it online. An Lan picked up a mushroom and fed it to him. Hows the taste?


    Delicious, fresh and sweet. Xu Baohan was not stingy with his praise.


    An Lan pried his hand away from her waist. Im going to pour the soup. Its not easy for me to make it like this.


    Ill do it, dont burn yourself. Xu Baohan gently pulled her away and skillfully poured the soup into the big bowl.


    An Lan looked at his silhouette quietly and suddenly asked, Do you know about the incident at your fatherspany?


    I do. Xu Baohan narrowed his eyes, his dark eyshes clearly visible under the light. With such a big incident, I believe they wonte looking for trouble with your parents again.


    An Lan walked to the side and leaned against the kitchen counter, raising her eyebrows. Did you do this?


    Xu Baohan nced at her. I didnt ask them to sell second-hand cars as new cars.


    But it was exposed at this time, and it was a major affair. Everyone is paying attention to this matter, An Lan said, her gaze fixed on Xu Baohan.


    Selling second-hand cars as new cars can reap a lot of benefits, so this is definitely not the first time, Xu Baohan said as he looked at An Lan, Some people dont understand cars, so its fine if theyre just muddleheaded. There are also some people who dont want to cause trouble, so its fine if they just endure it. There are also some leaks, but theyre just small media outlets, so theyre not very useful. However, it wont be so smooth every time. I just found someone to let a big media outlet leak this matter, and the results arepletely different.


    An Lans gaze was filled withplicated worry, But This is your Xu familyspany after all. If you manage it well in the future, you might even have the right to inherit it. Bingfei is already on the decline, if thepany is hit by such a heavy hammer, he might be in danger.


    Even if it wasnt exposed, apany that lies to its customers wont have a good ending.


    Xu Baohan lowered his head and started washing the dishes, pouring the oil and cooking, So what if we invest new funds? The nature of thepany cant be changed. Thepanys sales wont be able to keep up. The salesmen and managers wont be able to split the money, so they will start to exploit loopholes to earn money. Thepanys boss will turn a blind eye when he sees that this method can earn money. Even if we invest new funds, the internal structure has already rotted, how can we improve? No one has ever thought of managing thispany well.


    An Lan was stunned. I didnt expect you to know so much about the sales industry.


    After all, my family is in the automobile business, so I have to pay more attention to it.


    Xu Baohan smiled at her, When my uncle was in prison, I noticed Bingfeis problem. They only cared about money, so its time for the relevant departments to investigate. As for the power you said I would inherit in the future, I have never considered it, someone like my father


    He would never leave it to me. When he wants to give it to me, thepany would already be a mess.. I might even have to pay for it, so its better to destroy it now.

 Chapter 2054. Judge Xu, Dont Regret This

    Chapter 2054. Judge Xu, Don''t Regret This


    An Lan gave him a thumbs up with heartfelt admiration.


    She was impressed by his courage to personally destroy his ownpanys reputation.


    No matter what kind ofpany it was, she believed that 99% of men would not do such a thing.


    Judge Xu, dont regret it in the future. An Lans expression wasplicated.


    Xu Baohan continued to stir-fry the vegetables, his brows unmoving. With this lousypany gone, he should give up and stop forcing me to be a trading item. Of course, Lawyer An, dontin about my parents poverty in the future.


    Of course not, I know you did all this for me.


    This time, it was An Lans turn to hug him from behind. Her face was buried in him, absorbing the faint fragrance of the orchid grassundry detergent on his body.


    Xu Baohan took a deep breath and looked at the silhouettes of the two on the wall. His heart was filled with warmth and serenity. An Lan, no matter what happens to our parents in the future, dont separate so easily, okay?


    Okay.


    In their current situation, An Lan suddenly understood their mutual understanding.


    Bingfeis matter became bigger and bigger until the relevant departments started to investigate.


    Xu Jinfei was initially thinking about how to get An Lan and Xu Baohan to break up as soon as possible, but after the incident at thepany, everything snowballed and all the negative things from the past were exposed, every day, reporters and old clients woulde over.


    Xu Jinfei was extremely anxious every day, running around looking for connections, but to no avail.


    By the time he entered court, it was already noon on the third day.


    Xu Baohan had just finished his lunch and was about to return to his office for a break when Xu Jinfei angrily kicked open the door and came in, directly making things difficult for him, Bingfeis matter has something to do with you, right? Ive asked around and it was you who informed those reporters. How could I have given birth to a beast like you, not even sparing my ownpany? Are you trying to force me to jump off a building?


    Xu Baohan sat up from the sofa, his gaze as cold as ice, Since you know that Im a beast, then why did youe looking for trouble with me in the first ce? Havent you thought about destroying my rtionship with An Lan again and again? Even a rabbit would bite if it was anxious, let alone a cold-blooded beast like me?


    Xu Jinfei was shocked by his dark pupils, his body couldnt help trembling. Im your father, isnt the biggest beneficiary of everything Ive done you, youre too ungrateful.


    Enough.


    Xu Baohans tone was filled with hatred. Do you know what I want? I want a family, I want to be with the person I love. I dont need to be rich and powerful, I dont need mountains of gold and silver, I just need three meals, a spacious and clean ce to live in


    asionally, Ill cook with the person I like and go out to see the mountains and streams. In the future, having a son and a daughter would be enough. You dont know anything, you only want to deprive me for your own selfish desires. Since youre heartless, I wont stand on ceremony Since you like thepany so much and want to sacrifice me in order to expand thepany, then I will destroy thepanys reputation.


    You you I really shouldnt have given birth to you. Xu Jinfei was so angry that he didnt know what to say. Just then, he saw the cup on the table, he grabbed it and threw it at Xu Baohan.


    Xu Baohan easily dodged it, facing Xu Jinfeis hatred, he gritted his teeth, The difference between An Lan and you guys is that she wasnt using me, but you guys were using me. When I fell from the building, it was An Lan who took care of me from morning till night.. What did you do? The news was so big, not to mention not seeing it, you didnt even give me a call.

 Chapter 2056. She Said She Would Take Care Of Me

    Chapter 2056. She Said She Would Take Care Of Me


    Xu Jinfei roared in exasperation, Why didnt you fall to your death back then?


    Xu Baohanughed softly when he heard his father spew such vicious words, Why should I die? Firstly, I didnt do anything wrong, secondly, I didnt let my parents down. I did everything on my own conscience. Is it my fault that thepany has be like this today? Its due to your own greedt. You can even sell second-hand cars as new cars. Dont say that you didnt know, you might as well me the factory.


    Xu Jinfeis face was red from the scolding, but he refused to admit it. It was those bastards down there, I cant possibly investigate every single car.


    If you didnt turn a blind eye, would others have done this?


    Xu Baohan rebuked coldly, Do you know that sometimes, tens of thousands of dors and hundreds of thousands of dors are considered a life for some people? Others have worked hard for decades to buy a car, only to find out that it wasnt a new one. Have you ever thought about others? Oh, right, there are also maintenance pits everywhere. There are obviously some parts of the car that are fine, but in order to earn money, you lied to the customer and said that there was a problem. 1,000 dors could settle the maintenance costs, but you insisted on cheating them by charging 2,000 dors. You didnt change the parts, but you lied and said that you changed them. How can a lousypany like yours sell well? You only know how to get others to invest, but you dont look at your own problems. Even if you sell me, the result will still be the same. Let me put it more bluntly, what you earn is unconscionable money.


    Xu Jinfeis expression was terrifying. You have a conscience for treating your father like this.


    I have no conscience.


    Xu Baohan stared at him, Enough is enough. Luckily, its me this time. If you were to look for An Lans parents again, the next time she takes action, yourpanys fate would be even worse. With the things that happened in thepany, if she were to take over the case, she could sue you to the point where your reputation would be ruined and you would lose everything. Thest ex-boyfriend who provoked her, although I was the one who found Lawyer Song, you can ask around. That case was actually very simple, but it was basically An Lan who controlled the situation secretly. Originally, Lawyer Song only asked her to pay a little money, but she sent him straight to jail.


    Xu Jinfei was stunned by his words, a chill running down his spine.


    Xu Baohan continued, In this situation, what good would it do you if I broke up with An Lan? If we really broke up, theres really no need for her to show you any mercy, as long as you didnt do anything unconscionable. You think youre old and smart, but its actually veryughable. An Lan has been dealing with people who are richer than you, have bigger investments than you, and have a higher status than you. She knows what you people are thinking better than anyone. Anyway, if you continue to cause trouble, I wont be responsible for the consequences.


    The more he spoke, the more uneasy Xu Jinfei became. He was uncertain, Are you really not willing to help me?


    What can I help you with? Xu Baohans lips twitched, I can only advise you to sell thepany as soon as possible and save some money for your retirement. If you still go to look for An Lans parents, dont me me if you run out of money. You can also witness how terrifyingwyers are.


    Xu Jinfei was furious. Terrifying? Then why are you looking for a woman of this profession?


    Xu Baohan smiled. Because she said she would take care of me. Even my parents cant do it, but she can, so of course I have to cling to her.


    Shameless, shameless. Xu Jinfei was so angry that he didnt know what to say. After scolding, he left in a huff.


    When he left, he bumped into An Lan at the door. He didnt know how long she had been listening to him.. She leaned against the doorsill and smiled.

 Chapter 2057. My Happiness Depends On Her

    Chapter 2057. My Happiness Depends On Her


    Just as Xu Jinfei opened his mouth, she interrupted first, Uncle Xu, Im younger and more capable than you. It can be said that Im a stock with potential. If I were an investor, should I invest in you or me? Actually, at your age, many people have already retired and are living leisurely. Therefore, no matter from any angle, I have to make a good investment. Dont worry, I will definitely give more to your son than you did.


    An Lans eyes sparkled with calmness and shrewdness.


    Xu Jinfei gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, Didnt you hear what he said? Hes willing to be with you purely because youre rich and you can raise him.


    An Lan looked at him and shook her head, her face filled with pity. It was unknown whether it was because of him or Xu Baohan. Your son is so handsome, Im willing to raise him. Whats wrong with that?


    Xu Baohan stepped forward and gently put his arm around her shoulder, his lips curling slightly. Before we started dating, we were very frank. In this life, my happiness will depend on her.


    Xu Jinfei looked at Xu Baohan and then at An Lan. Suddenly, he smiled, his smile was exceptionally pale.


    Alright, I understand. He slowly turned around, stepped back and left.


    Xu Baohan watched his back as he walked further and further down the corridor.


    He had a feeling that this time, Xu Jinfei had given uppletely.


    I hope your parents wont cause any more trouble after this. An Lan leaned against the door. She was finally relieved, as though a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.


    Mm, I dont think they will. Youve already analyzed the difference between you and him. Hes a smart person. Xu Baohan looked back at her with a smile, An Lan, arent you worried that Im only with you because I want to ride on your achievements? Sometimes, the rtionship between people are quiteplicated. There are even many feelings that are more concerned about benefits.


    An Lan raised her head to look at him, her gaze calm and confident, Mr. Xu, youre a judge, Im awyer. In court, youll always be my boss. Dont talk about clinging for benefits, its normal for awyer like me to cling to you. Besides, I know better than anyone that youre not the kind of person who cares about material things. If thats the case, as Barrister Songs disciple, how could you be willing to change careers to be a judge?


    Xu Baohan rubbed the hair of the woman beside him.


    In this life, he had once hated fate for giving him such cold and heartless parents, but at this moment, he was very grateful that fate had allowed him to meet someone who understood him.


    Near the end of the year, Bingfei Motor Company Limited was investigated by the relevant departments. As more and more problems were implicated, Xu Jinfei had no choice but to shut down thepany. After that, he spent a lot of money to settle the matter, thepany was no longer able to continue operating. Xu Jinfei finally decided to sell it to another boss at a low price. His dream of bing a rich and powerful family hadpletelye to an end.


    ..


    At the end of the year, An Lan and Xu Baohan flew to Switzend to celebrate the New Year.


    On the first day of the New Year, the two of them went skiing up the mountain. It was Xu Baohans first time skiing. An Lan taught him, but he had no choice but toin about hisck of talent in skiing. She had taught him for a long time, but he still kept falling in the snow.


    Once, when he was sliding down the slope, he couldnt stop himself. He rolled down for more than a meter, and half of his leg was stuck in the snow.


    An Lan hurriedly rushed over to pull him out. Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?


    No, Xu Baohan touched his pocket and said in annoyance, Oh no, I might have dropped my wallet when I was rolling down.


    Why did you bring your wallet with you? Didnt I tell you to put it in the cupboard? An Lan said snappily.

 Chapter 2058. Are You Willing To Judge Me For The Rest Of My Life

    Chapter 2058. Are You Willing To Judge Me For The Rest Of My Life


    Xu Baohan blinked, a look of grievance on his face. I was afraid that you would want to buy food, but it wont happen again. Lets quickly look for it, it must have fallen here.


    An Lan squatted in the snow to look for it. The snow was too thick, so she had no choice but to dig through it piece by piece. After digging for a while, she did not see a wallet, but she did find something shiny. She picked it up and saw that it was a ring. Eh, who dropped this ring


    Before she could finish her sentence, a thought shed through her mind, and she looked up at the man beside her in shock.


    Xu Baohan bent down to pick up the pink diamond in her hand and knelt down on one knee, his gaze clear and deep, An Lan, are you willing to marry me? Even though people say that its a disaster forwyers and judges to be together, I dont think so. I think that we are at the beginning of our happiness. We have amon belief in thew, and we want to protect and uphold principles. We can understand each other. In terms of work, even though I am your chief judge, I hope that every day in my life, you can be my chief judge. Are you willing to judge me for the rest of my life?


    An Lans eyes widened in shock, her hands covering her shocked lips. She had not expected him to suddenly propose, even though she had been through all sorts of ups and downs, her mind was still nk.


    Xu Baohan looked at her stunned expression and was a little anxious. Lawyer An, even if you had cursed me to be cuckolded in my marriage, caused a divorce with my wife and stripped me of all my assets, I would still be fine with it. I dont mind, I just want to marry you, is that alright?


    The past was brought up again, everything from the past was still vivid in her mind.


    An Lan couldnt help but snap back to her senses and giggle. You still remember?


    Yes, judges have always had a good memory, Xu Baohan smiled and said again, Marry me. Perhaps I wont be able to give you the best in the world, but I can give you the best of me. Perhaps there will be a day when I wont be able to shield you from the storms because of my status, but I can apany you in the rain. You will never be alone.


    An Lans eyes turned red. She bent down, her eyes slightly red. Im willing.


    Okay, chief judge An. Xu Baohan put on the ring for her, stood up and kissed her lips.


    From now on, he was willing to be the only person in her court.


    After the marriage was confirmed and the new year was over, Xu Baohan started to renovate the house. He had alsopletely moved to An Lans ce from his previous house.


    Although it was far from where he worked, he was more willing to travel like this.


    Since the two of them had decided to get married, they should live together.


    During thest moving trip, Xu Baohan drove and saw Zhuang Tianya at the entrance, buying fruits from a nearby store.


    He thought for a moment, then parked his car and walked in.


    Zhuang Tianya was pleasantly surprised when she saw him. Baohan, how was the New Year?


    Xu Baohan looked at her calmly for a while, he said, Its going very well this year. I went to Switzend with my girlfriend for the New Year and proposed to her there. She has already agreed. Ive decided to rent the house here and the new house is under renovation. Im moving to An Lans ce and well get married this summer.


    In that short moment, he had said a lot of things and revealed a lot of information.


    No matter how good Zhuang Tianya was, the smile on her face froze and she didnt regain her senses for a long time.


    Xu Baohan stared at her and frowned, Tianya, I dont think you need to rent a house and bump into me here in the future because I wont being here anymore. Actually, Ive seen you at the entrance of my neighborhood many times when I drive past. Even though you live very close, there are shops at the entrance of your neighborhood, but you alwayse here. There are some things that I think I understand.


    Zhuang Tianya bit her lip. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Baohan interrupted her, Dont try to start with my parents either. Now that my fatherspany is closed, he knows that its impossible for me to break up with An Lan. I didnt get off the car today to buy anything, I just wanted to remind you to put some thoughts away. I dont have any feelings for you anymore. In the past, I thought that we werepatible, but after meeting An Lan, I realized that we were onlypatible because we never understood each other. I dont want to say goodbye to you, because I really hope that we dont meet again.


    After he finished speaking, he got into the car and left without looking back.


    Zhuang Tianya watched as his car gradually disappeared into the distance, tears streaming down her face. She knew that this person had really left her world from then on.


    The ending of An Lans story.


    An Lans story hadpletely ended.


    I wasnt sure if the main text should end yet. Many people wanted me to write about Xuanyuan Lang. To be honest, I was very tired today. After all, I had been writing for more than a year, and I couldnt stop updating every day. This was really hard work for an author, and she wanted to rest.., but when I thought about not writing an article after tomorrow, I felt that I wasnt used to it. My life seemed to be a little empty. Haha, so it was really contradictory.


    Let me rest for a night before deciding if I should write tomorrow. If I didnt write, I would say goodbye to everyone again.


    Mr. Nians published article was still under review, and it was already the final step of the review. I added some new content to the publication. When the time came, readers who liked it could buy it and take a look. I would notify you when it was published.

    If possible, I hope this article can follow you all the way.
